Ameiko Kaijitsu_'s page

After Dexter leaves, Ameiko approaches the group, ladle in hand and apron tied loose around her shapely figure.

"So... you all really mean to go to Thistletop then? *sigh* I should know you all well enough by now to see you will do whatever you can to fight this evil... but before you go, Shalelu said she needed to speak with you and that it was urgent. She is waiting just outside of town. Arthur, Shayliss also came by this morning looking for you... the poor little thing at tears in her eyes."

"Oh... and here! Thalrik, you may be the only one to get a use out of this but... I found it back a few years ago when I was adventuring through some Osiran ruins... amongst other things. But I believe it will do you all more help than it will do me. I don't know what it does but... here"

And she hands you a ornately carved staff, Osiran runes curving snakelike up the shaft.

And then she kisses you each on the cheek and says a quiet prayer in Tian, wishing you the gods' blessings on your hard travels.

"yes... That is what my half brother said. He claimed Nualia, in the name of lamashtu, is gathering all the local tribes at thistle top. Thistle top is an island about 6 miles north along the coast. Traditionally, it has been the most coveted goblin land and the tribe that lives there is generally the strongest."

"but now hold on... You say ferdin and Darlin are dead?? We must prepare at once for a heroes funeral..."

A voice calls out from the room:

"Come in! Arthur, is that you?"

Entering the room, you see the beautiful Ameiko laying in bed still, but she looks to be a whole lot better. Noticing your looks, she explains:

"I got some healing this morning from Father Zantus, I am going to be ok. What can you tell me of Tsuto? Is my brother still alive? I feel that maybe this is my fault... If me father had treated him better... maybe if I'd been a better sister...."

She stops to hide the tears that are forming in her eyes before continuing on.

"He spoke of such strange things to me! I think he is worshipping demons and..."

Her eyes grow wide with fear.

"Thistletop! An army is gathering at Thistletop! Nualia is planning on using the entire town as a sacrifice to further her 'transformation'. Whatever that means. If the sheriff still in Magnimar? Something needs to be done, and quickly! But tell me, what did you find under the Glassworks? Where were you, what has happened? Where are Darlin and Ferdin and Dexter?"
