The Reclamation of Zahvroma (Inactive)

Game Master Signore di Fortuna

Celine was so full and so tired from playing so much with the kitty, that almost as soon as Rajni started walking she fell asleep on her shoulder.

Alethiro relayed the tale the girl had told him. About her parents seeking out cultists of Urgathoa and having gone missing a couple days ago. When he was done, he added, "I let Sādhanā and some of the others know so they could investigate. After that, I went and spoke to the Paladin Lovecraft, and he told me of an old Dwarven Fortress he would like scouted. I've enlisted Pandi and Charity to help me with that. I did talk to Magnus first, but I couldn't quite secure to funds to pay him."

An odd look came across his face as he smacked his forehead, "Magnus! I need to meet him and let him know that his services are no longer needed and he can go about his day with his son."

"I suppose. But I'm fairly sure that it wouldn't take you as long to cook this. I mean after all, you're the Kitchen Goddess in this house." Drago responded with a smile.

She sighs and shakes her head, "Yes...I heard about the cultists...from Sadhana before we went to Priroda to help the people there. Why are you trying to enlist other people to do what you said you would do in the first place? You know what....I don't have time for this right now. I'm going to pick up Celine from Rajni and then we're going home. We can talk later, you better go talk to Magnus." Shaking her head again she bids farewell to Charity and Pandi before turning back around and heading towards Hadrinns.

Before she can get all the way to the restaurant however she manages to see Rajni carrying Celine, and Juhi headed her way. Approaching them she sees Celine fast asleep on Rajni's shoulder and a thought occurs to her. Speaking very softly as to not awaken her daughter she says, "Hey....I guess it was too much excitement for her huh? Listen...I was wondering, I was going to take her home....but since she's asleep and all...would you mind keeping her a bit longer? I just need to find Sadhana and help her take care of something. Would that be alright?"

Arista had a point, but the Elf had his reasons, primary among them was the fact that he felt Sādhanā and the others were better suited to handle the Cultist than he. Going back to the two volunteers he teamed up with, "We've one more stop to make, then we'll head to the mine. Unless you want to just meet me there?"

Narrows eyes at you further. It's going to be a very loooonng talk.

She nods, "Sure Arista, whatever you need. I can take her home and tuck her in upstairs. I'm sure she'll sleep for at least an hour or two. I guess we did kind of wear her out. No problem okay? Just pick her up when you're ready. She's been a really good girl today and no problem at all."

Giving her a smile she says, "Thank you, that would be great. I'll see you later." She still speaks a bit softly but relaxes when she sees that Celine doesn't so much as stir in her sleep. She leaves Rajni and heads out to find Sadhana and the others. She needed to vent some frustrations and she could think of no other better way to do that than taking out some evil bastards that had somehow crept into their town. She would not have it and they would be sorry they ever came to this place. She had heard Tesia tell the others that she saw cloaked figures heading into the north side of the woods so she heads quickly to the north end of town, hoping to catch up with the others.

Rajni nods and continues on her way home with the girls and Shamara.

"Had a good lunch?" Sadhana asks Celia with a grin as she joins them.

"Very." Celia replies, "And I let Clara know about the cultists. She'll inform the Watch command and keep her eyes open for anything odd."

Looking at everyone apparently ready, and quietly noting Magestriea's lack of weapon or armor. "So are we all ready or are we waiting for anyone?"

Jumping up from a slight running start she spreads her wings and beats them to get to the north gate faster. Seeing Sadhana and the others there she slows her wings and fans them out to allow wind resistance to aid in her landing. Coming down right before her sister and friend, she gives Sadhana a wide grin while she has that familiar sparkle in her eye. Taking a moment to catch her breath she asks, "Am I too late to join in the fun?"

Looking up and seeing Arista gliding down towards her, Sādhanā grins as her sister comes in for a landing, her suspicions confirmed by the glimmer in her eyes, even before the question. She considers for only a moment.

"Nope, looks like you're right on time." the magus answers with a smile. Softly uttering an arcane chant, she reaches out to touch her sister's shoulder, waves of force wrapping around the aasimar to reinforce her defenses.

Cast Ablative Barrier. +2 armor bonus to AC. Additionally, the first 5 points of lethal damage the target takes from each attack are converted into nonlethal damage. Against attacks that already deal nonlethal damage, the target gains DR 5/—. Once this spell has converted 5 points of damage to nonlethal damage per caster level (maximum 50 points), the spell is discharged. Duration 12 hours

If possible it seems that her smile becomes even wider, "Then let's not keep those evil bastards waiting. Unless....we're waiting for anyone else?" Looking over and seeing the unfamiliar catfolk, "Been recruiting eh?" She asks Sadhana in an amused tone.

"You could say that. This is Amon. He's going to be helping us. Amon, I'd like you to meet Arista." Sādhanā says with a smile.

Pulling her wings back in against her, she covers them once more with her heavy winter cloak before stretching her arm out towards him. With a smile the six foot, three inch tall metallic looking woman with silver hair and sparkling emerald green eyes, takes Ammon's hand in a hearty handshake. Taking her soft, yet strong hand back from him she says, "Pleasure to meet you Ammon. I guess my sister is hoping that if she recruits enough new capable warriors to go with them next time they have to leave, that maybe it will ease the burden of my heart about not being able to go with them. As much as I enjoy wiping evil off the face of Vesaria.....it would seem that these days that kind of thing is frowned upon when one is with child." She says with a slight smirk aimed in Sadhana's direction.

"Let us think on that one, Tesia," Sienna says. "Cutie and I better catch up to the others so we don't miss out on the fun."

"Yeah, I think we'll head to the mines," Pandi says. "That okay, Charity?"

Charity nods.

She nods and gives them a smile, "Sure, not a problem. We'll talk to you guys later. I think we're just gonna go home and....rest for a bit." She says as her smile widens, "You guys have a wonderfully Blessed day and kick some evil ass for us!" She says as they turn to head for home.

At the mention of...rest, Rhadaya's grin widens as the swirling patterns on her skin intensify. "Uhm...yeah. Have fun."

Tesia smirks impishly at her wife as she puts an arm around her and quickens her pace as they head home. The sooner they got home, the better.

Once they get back to the house, Tesia lets them in before closing and locking the door behind them. With a gleeful giggle she picks her wife up and carries her up the stairs to their room. Going in she kicks the door shut behind them, kissing her wife passionately as they head to the bed. Sitting down on the bed she pulls her wife down into her lap while kicking off her boots. Softly kissing and nibbling the side of her wife's neck and earlobes she whispers softly in her ear, "So....you were saying earlier that you discovered something about yourself? Can I ask what exactly you discovered?" She asks with an impish gleeful lilt to her voice.

Sienna looks at Cyna. "Ready?"

Ammon was amazed at this flying, metallic looking woman. Shaking her hand, "Pleasure to meet you." He then noticed her holy symbol. His eyes went wide and he took a knee, "A Warrior of Sarenrae. It's an honor."

"I shouldn't be long." Alethiro said before heading to the park.

She laughs as he takes a knee. A deep throaty kind of laughter that bubbles up out of her before she can stop it. Shaking her head she says, "You don't have to do that, but thank you. I'm no better than anyone else, and we all strive toward the same purpose." She says while taking her sword and shield out of her bag.

Standing back up, "My apologies, it's not often I come upon a Winged Avenger of the Dawnflower."

She chuckles again, "No apologies needed....but most people just call me Arista." She says with a note of amusement in her voice.

Alethiro sees Magnus at the park playing with Hjörr.

Arista takes in the posture and behavior of their new catfolk companion, "Tell me Ammon...were you Military trained? It's just...your mannerisms are so...formal. It speaks of very strict and disciplined Military training."

Alethiro wasn't sure what he was going to say, but he had to tell him something. The Elf approached the Mercenary, "Hello Magnus."

"Very well, Arista it is then."

"You have returned," Magnus says. "Do you have the money?"

"Unfortunately Magnus, I wasn't able to secure the funds. But I found some volunteers to go with me. I'm sorry to have bothered you and kept you waiting."

Ammon...did you see the question I asked just a little ways up?

"Always." Cyna answers.

Sorry, missed it.

"I'm a former member of the Scorched Sons. You probably never heard of them."

She shakes her head, "I'm afraid you would be correct. Then again....to be fair they probably weren't even around from the time I came from." She says as she wonders what his combat experience is.

Magnus grunts. "No harm done. Be safe in your scouting."

He then takes Hjörr's hand and walks away.

Sienna takes Cyna's hand and goes where the others were meeting. "Oh, good, you're all still here."

Boy, I am just batting a thousand today aren't I.

With a sigh of regret, he headed to the mine.

She smiles as she sees Sienna and Cyna approach, "Well...I guess we need to find them now that everyone's here. She said they went north into the woods right?"

It'll be okay. None of us are perfect.

One of Ammon's ears perked up, Curious statement. "Hmm, perhaps a story for another time then."

She nods while chuckling a bit, "Yeah...I guess it kinda is a long one...or not, depending on how you look at it." Looking into the woods she turns her head to look at Sadhana with a slight smirk, "So...shall we get to hunting then?"

Pulling his shield from his shoulder, "Yes, let's hunt." He said in a very, very serious tone.

Nodding again she asks, "Okay...so Ylrhea, you wanna take point?"

"Sure," the gnome says, looking out for danger.

"All set?" Pandi asks Alethiro as he approaches.
