Tanith gladly provides whatever cover Carina needs as she pulls the robe on, noting that this was the closest he'd been to her more intimate parts. Definitely not the best circumstances...

"Thanks Eben", he offers with a chuckle.

Carina takes the robes with a grateful nod. "Thank you, sir." She nods and slips into the robes.

She looks around at the assembled group after she gets dressed.

"Farrukh... you look more dangerous than when I last saw you." She chuckles.

"Cuetzpalli, and Spiny? With a new weapon to boot!" She stands up, stretching her legs.

"Astraden? Wow, you look better than you were in the temple..." She nods at the priestess of Olidammara.

"Nice to meet you, New Guy." She gives Eben a bow.

When she gets to the last one there...

Her face turns into a frosty glare.

"Zalamandra."

I was afraid of that...

"Carina." Zalamandra bows, not missing Carina's discomfort. "I understand you have quite a few reasons to hate me, but rest assured I didn't come to reopen old wounds." She looks into Carina's eyes, her tone genuinely apologetic.

"In fact, I wished to apologize. I kept badgering you to work for me no end long after you made your disinterest clear, and couldn't take 'no' for an answer. To put it bluntly, my head was so far up my own ass it's a miracle I could even see where I was going. To make amends, I helped your friends deal with the Ebon Triad cell under Diamond Lake." She nods at the assembled team.

Tanith nods confirming Lady Z's story but otherwise stays out of it.

He swallows up one delicate blue hand within his own for comfort.

Astraden smiles at Carina and Tanith, glancing at Cuetzpalli and then back again when Zalamandra speaks. "She's alright, Carina. We've cleared out the Triad, sent Dourstone packing, and are on our way to landing Smenk behind bars."

KC, do you wanna say that Carina's mom was invited but uh . . . was busy delivering a baby or something? Has she left yet?


Action Points: 11/13|Bombs: 15/23|Female Undine (Formerly Yugoloth-Spawn Tiefling) Alchemist (Chirurgeon) 16|HP: 56/85|AC: 22(36)/14(23)/19(26)|Saves: +15 Fort (+20 vs. Poison), +18 Ref, +12 Will (+1 vs. Enchantments)|Initiative: +3|Perception: +21

Zalamandra's story catches Carina's ear, but it's Tanith's and Astraden's confirmations of it that cause her expression to soften.

She looks down at Tanith's hand covering her own.

"...okay. Apology accepted, Zalamandra." She looks up at the sorceress, her eyes softening to a look of relief.

Instinctively, she tries to wrap her tail around Tanith.

Or would, if it was still a part of her.

She finally looks down at herself, her eyes widening in confusion. "Er... why am I blue? And where did my tail go?"

Come to think of it, Other Me isn't saying anything either...

"Good to see you too Carina." He smiles, blushing slightly at the complement.

"Though it was a close run thing there for a while. Some ghost snakes bit my eyes out."

Relieved, Zalamandra speaks up again. "You're an undine now, Carina--someone with elemental ancestry. Specifically, from the Elemental Plane of Water." She takes a step closer to her. "You shouldn't have a problem swimming with your new body, though I can't really say the same for your muscle mass." She looks the undine up and down.

"Heh. Your arms look like little sticks."

"Oh. Um, sorry."

Carina gives Farrukh a deadpan look. "They always were. Now they're even more so." She looks down, her tone apologetic. "Sorry to hear about your eyes..."

Zalamandra's explanation of her new body makes her examine herself, pulling back the sleeve of her robes and marvelling at her blue skin. And I can't feel Other Me's presence at all... does that mean--?

She looks over at Nogwier. "You did this? You brought me back?" Her tone is one of reverent awe and gratitude.

"And I got corrupted by taint!" Astraden scrunches her nose at Zalamandra. "I'm fine too though."


The Gateway Grove, The Isle of Last Resort

"The Shalm did," Nogwier says softly. "I was merely the vessel."

"Well, excuse ME for being concerned." Zalamandra rolls her eyes at the Olidammaran.


Action Points: 11/13|Bombs: 15/23|Female Undine (Formerly Yugoloth-Spawn Tiefling) Alchemist (Chirurgeon) 16|HP: 56/85|AC: 22(36)/14(23)/19(26)|Saves: +15 Fort (+20 vs. Poison), +18 Ref, +12 Will (+1 vs. Enchantments)|Initiative: +3|Perception: +21

Carina walks over to Nogwier on shaky legs, working off the webbing still on under her robes.

"Well, let me thank you and the Shalm both. For everything." She bows to him.

Astraden wrote:
"And I got corrupted by taint! I'm fine too though."

Carina's eyes widen. "What? Okay, I'd appreciate it if you filled me in on everything that went on down there."

She stretches, her robes riding up a bit, exposing a bit of her shapely blue legs. "Maybe somewhere more--"

She stops. "Where's Mom?"


The Gateway Grove, The Isle of Last Resort

The door was locked when Astraden dropped by the Vieras' room.

Carina's face falls. "Oh..."

A seriously worried expression appears on her face. "I hope she's okay... I need to see her."

She leans against the altar of her rebirth to help her stand.

Much Earlier, in the "Three Days"

Cuetzpalli accepts the bident, thanking the smith for his efforts. Now that he's in possession of Grallak Kur's axe, the bident is less appealing than when he ordered it. But who knows when we might need to kill an angel or something... he thinks. The Olman buries the bident six feet deep in the backyard of the Land residence (in the middle of the night).

When he talks with Wierus he is polite but firm. "I thank you for everything you've done for me. But I am a warrior, not a lawyer. Kord's philosophy of strength speaks to me more than whipping myself ever did. Sorry Wierus, I'm leaving."

Now to catch up on the rest of the Carina stuff!

At the reincarnation...

Cuetzpalli lets off a long low whistle of surprise when the results of the ceremony are revealed by Tanith. He seems a bit over-awed and simply hangs back to observe the emotional moment. Once the new Carina addresses him, he smiles and waves. "Good to have you back, Carina. Spiny and I missed you!"

Carina smiles again as she approaches Cuetzpalli & Spiny. She stops in front of the spinosaurus, patting him on the head. "I missed you guys so much--were you a good boy and kicked a lot of cultist ass while I was gone?"

Zalamandra tries to stifle a snicker.

She does so very well, only letting a smile slip.

Carina, on the other hand, blushes and giggles. "I don't think it's a good idea to bite Taint in the first place--it tends to turn out poorly for everyone involved."

School's starting up again, so I'll be posting more in the early mornings and evenings (PST).

Where to now? Carina's old home?

Yeah. We'll escort her home to give her some time with her mom.

Tanith puts an arm around Carina's noticeably slimmer shoulders to support her in case she was still shaky on her new legs.

"Come on Red, let's find Alessia. She'll want to see you. She hasn't been the same since we lost you."


Action Points: 11/13|Bombs: 15/23|Female Undine (Formerly Yugoloth-Spawn Tiefling) Alchemist (Chirurgeon) 16|HP: 56/85|AC: 22(36)/14(23)/19(26)|Saves: +15 Fort (+20 vs. Poison), +18 Ref, +12 Will (+1 vs. Enchantments)|Initiative: +3|Perception: +21

Tanith's words make Carina bite her lip and look down. "Mom..."

She lets Tanith hold her up, her legs still wobbly.

Zalamandra bows her head. "Let's be off, then."


The Gateway Grove, The Isle of Last Resort

"Alessia?" Gastek Mags, the innkeeper for this branch of the Able Carter Coaching Inn, looks up from his paperwork. The scrawny man sniffs. "She left two days ago. Left this," he waves an envelope, "for her daughter; that daemon lass."

His brow furrows. "Considering I hear the daughter's dead, though, I don't expect this letter's gonna be read. I could be pursuaded to hand it off to someone...close to the departed."

Sense Motive 18:
He's looking for a bribe—ten gold or so.

"You mean like me, Mr. Mags?" Carina says, stepping up to the counter. "Um... long story short, I got better." She leans over. "Take a good look, sir--I know I don't look the same as before, but I am Alessia Viera's daughter."
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Gastek stares at "Carina", then laughs. "You expect me to believe that? I don't know what the hell you are, blue girl, but you're not Carina Viera. You look about as much like her as I do."

"Believe it or not, this is Carina. The girl's been through a lot. Give her the letter."

Diplomacy to Aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10


The Gateway Grove, The Isle of Last Resort

Gastek rolls his eyes. "Fine. Whatever. Not like Alessia'll ever know." He tosses the letter over. "But if you're gonna try impersonating dead folk, next time, at least try and look like them."


Action Points: 11/13|Bombs: 15/23|Female Undine (Formerly Yugoloth-Spawn Tiefling) Alchemist (Chirurgeon) 16|HP: 56/85|AC: 22(36)/14(23)/19(26)|Saves: +15 Fort (+20 vs. Poison), +18 Ref, +12 Will (+1 vs. Enchantments)|Initiative: +3|Perception: +21

"I'll take your suggestion to heart, sir." Carina takes the letter, walks over to an empty table, sits down and opens it.


Male Suel Sacred Fist/Godling 15 | 161/161 hp, Init +0, AC 32 (39 presently) [touch 23, FF 24], Fort +20*, Ref +12, Will +21; Perception +7

Tanith growls and strongly considers physically straitening the rude innkeeper out but worries that might upset Carina more.

”What’s it say?”

Carina:
My dearest Carina,

If you are reading this, it means you are alive. It also means you've made some really good friends. Look after them—our journeys are not meant to be undertaken alone.

I am so sorry I can't be there in person. Urgent business calls me away—there is something horribly amiss in the swamp, and I fear it might be connected to what you're investigating. I haven't had to swing my mace in four years, but I may soon break that streak.

I couldn't stay. Not just because of the mission, but because...I can't stay in one place so long. I love Diamond Lake don't want those in Diamond Lake to suffer (I don't love it, it's one of the worst towns I've ever lived in), but I need to keep moving. And I think, if I saw you alive, I'd never want you to leave my side again.

You can cope on your own. You're a grown-up and I need to accept that. You're an amazing woman who's going to do amazing things.

I will be back in Diamond Lake in perhaps a month, if all goes well. If you leave before then, leave a message with Venelle so I know where you've gone.

I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. No matter what form you take, that can never change.

Safe travels,

Alessia Viera

Carina's on the verge of tears as she reads further into the letter.

"Mom..."

She beckons Tanith over so he can read it too.

Carina just nods.

Maybe it's the strain of having just come back from the dead, but her muscles burn with fatigue.

"Tired, Tanith?" She asks, as innocently as she can.

Carina pauses at the top of the stairs, her hand on the door to their room.

"I don't remember much of it, to be honest..." She turns to Tanith. "Just... the flail crushing me--" She squeezes her eyes shut.

She abruptly sucks in a breath of air. "--then, something being peeled off of me. Considering I can't feel Other Me anymore..." She trails off.

Tanith frowns at the recollection. ”We made Theldrick pay for what he did to you. I killed him with my own hands.” Even if Farrukh was the one who struck him down…

At the mention of her lost alter ego, the big Kordite's brow furrows. It was a confusing subject for him.

”Do you miss her? I mean, you said she was into some twisted stuff but you’ve had her around your whole life. You’re not going to get lonely?”


Action Points: 11/13|Bombs: 15/23|Female Undine (Formerly Yugoloth-Spawn Tiefling) Alchemist (Chirurgeon) 16|HP: 56/85|AC: 22(36)/14(23)/19(26)|Saves: +15 Fort (+20 vs. Poison), +18 Ref, +12 Will (+1 vs. Enchantments)|Initiative: +3|Perception: +21

Carina looks up at Tanith, a familiar fire in her eyes.

Tanith wrote:
”We made Theldrick pay for what he did to you. I killed him with my own hands.”

"Good. I hope he suffered." Her hand clenches into a fist and relaxes.

Tanith wrote:
”Do you miss her? I mean, you said she was into some twisted stuff but you’ve had her around your whole life. You’re not going to get lonely?"

Carina's glare intensifies. Her next words are spoken in an utterly cold and furious tone... even more so than when the party spoke with Smenk for the first time. "She came into being when I was nine years old... that's when I began growing into a woman. She gave me a tail that caused me so much pain when it was growing in I was afraid it'd split me in half. With that tail came urges to hurt, maim and kill things just to sate her hunger. If it weren't for Mom, I would have gone insane--or worse, I would have become someone like Theldrick."

She looks down, ashamed of her outburst. "Tanith... this is the first time in nine years I've been able to look at someone and not have my first thought upon seeing them be 'How would I like to watch this person die?'. I wouldn't want her back, even if I could get her back."

She steps forward and hugs Tanith as tightly as she can.

Tanith squeezes back, holding Carina as long as she needs it.

”Maybe this was all for the best then. I’ve got you back and you’ve got your thoughts all to yourself again.”

The big man opens the door to the room the pair had been standing in front of and lets them in. ”Now get some rest. We’re going to see about getting you some of your strength back tomorrow.”

Carina nods, stepping through the open door to their room and looking around.

Her things were still stacked by the bed... just like she left them.

Mom didn't change anything about the room...

A thought crosses her mind... a daring one, at that. It gives her a shiver--Oh, hell with it. I missed my chance once--I'm not letting it happen again.

She turns to look at Tanith, squares her shoulders...

...stands on the tips of her toes, and kisses him on the mouth.

She has no idea how long she spent doing so, but eventually she breaks it with her radiant smile.

"Goodnight, Tanith." She says before she closes the door.

After leaning down to kiss her back, Tanith gives Carina a rugged smirk as she breaks away. ”Heh. I missed you too. Good night Red.”


The Gateway Grove, The Isle of Last Resort

It is the sixth of Planting and the final day of Growfest. The followers of St. Cuthbert are out en mass celebrating (giving Cuetzpalli a wide birth).

Zalamandra is off trying to restore some order to the Emporium and the Dourstone Mine.

What do you want to do today?

It's a beautiful day today.

Carina's eyes flutter open and she stares at the ceiling of her room.

Thump-thump.

Thump-thump.

Thump-thump.

"It's the little things in life you treasure after all..." She whispers as she listens to the beating of her heart.

She gets dressed quickly enough--a simple red shirt, leggings and boots, followed by her chain shirt and the rest of her things.

She walks out of her room, ready to face the day.

"First stop--the church of Hieroneous!" She says to herself as she steps out the door of the Able Carter Coaching Inn.
