Fraejia saw the baby creature get rent apart by the klaven and yelled out, "Call your child back, we will help protect it!" She moved over towards the far side for a clear shot at the klaven there who killed the baby creature and gave a warbling scream of rage as she sent forth a blast of cold at the creature, she wanted it dead and now!
With the return of the Matriarch Fraejia was relieved to see that the creature had decided to ally with them. They could use her assistance and things were starting to look a lot better for their chances of getting out of this place. She looked to the creature and wondered if she knew how to find their captors or at least how to get out of here.
I've started having some serious computer problems the last couple of days and this may lead to spotty posting until I can replace it. Hopefully that won't be the case and I will keep you updated as best I can until then.
Fraejia nodded in agreement and said, "I have no problem with this." She stepped aside so that the creature could pass them.
Freajia nodded in agreement, "Yes, let's finish exploring this place so we can find a way out."
Realizing what the things would do Fraejia nodded in fierce agreement. The air seemed to chill around her as her face twisted in hatred looking at the things and said, "Yes, they need to be destroyed now." Her voice had become almost multi-tonal as she had spoken and it was obvious how deeply her hatred of such things ran.
Gonna be heading to Gencon tomorrow myself. Looking forward to it.
With the warning from Neve Fraejia turned to face the thing and quickly sent a blast of cold into it. As she sent the energy out it appeared that it was going to spear right into the tiny thing.
Fraejia suddenly felt weaker than she had before, like something was taking the wind out of her. She focused and tried to shake whatever it was off as she asked, "Does anyone else feel weaker after that room?"
Fraejia managed to assemble a working kit for healing, even if she wasn't skilled in it's use some else might be. She was about to ask when she suddenly felt a bit woozy. The feeling washed through here and she knew something was wrong, even if she didn't understand exactly what it was.
Yeah, I'm still here. I've just been distracted by life and some of the other games I have that tend to move a bit quicker. I'm working doing better about my posting habits, I know I've backslid some.
Fraejia had been examining some of the equipment in an effort to understand how it worked. She hoped to find a way to use it to supplement their meager healing supplies. She was quite occupied while Aurexil and Artirian were looking at the book and didn't notice anything unusual as they did.
Fraejia approached the switched and began to examine them. She wasn't sure what they did but switches tended to be important. She looked to the others and said, "Give me a moment before we use those stairs."
Fraejia - from what you said in game - you do not wish to accept infernal healing - I will respect your decision, and not heal you, then. If it comes down to the wand of evil or death Fraejia will accept the healing it provides. It doesn't hurt to ask her and it's safe to assume that, if she is unconscious and dying consent is implied like it would be for CPR IRL. Level up will be done shortly. HP 5+4=+9

Awesome! I'll get on it when I get home tonight.
Nodding in agreement Fraejia said, [b}"Yes, if it attacks us first, kill it, unless it is defending itself from us or surrenders. Those were not going to be reasoned with and have been dealt with accordingly."[/b] She noticed the wand that Artirian was using and shuddered slightly at it's very presence. Something about those it touched, and his use of it on them, gave her the heebie jeebies and she wanted no part of it if she had any choice int he matter. She looked at everyone and said, "Come on, let's go."
Fraejia focused once more and sent another blast of energy at the undead thing before them. She wasn't sure if she was going to hit it or not but she certainly hoped so, it needed to go down now.
Stepping back slightly from the fighting Fraejia called forth cold energy once more and sent a blast of frigid energy at the only target she could see clearly. She still had to be careful not to hit her companions but she was determined to injure something.
Fraejia focused and gathered in more cold energy wich she then projected out across space to rip the moisture from the air and form a thin wall of ice in front of one of their attackers in an effort to distract it from attacking anyone at the moment.
Yeah, these things are hitting a lot harder than I would have expected them too. And the dice are deserting me just now. Sorry Aefpakka! Just when we would be able to communicate.
Fraejia tried to avoid the creature that was attacking her, between her nimbleness and the freezing waters that surrounded her body like armor she managed to avoid a fair bit of it. She still took a couple of blows but nothing like she could have taken. The claw swept in and ripped into an ephemeral barrier that seemed to suck away a part of the blow with a popping sound, though it went on to slice into her skin. The creature's frustrated body slam against her after failing the rest of it's attacks on her hurt. She knew that she wasn't going to be able to do a lot of damage to it, and was distressed to see Aefpakka go down, no longer seeming to breath. She wished there was something she could do for him but she knew there wasn't, her talents weren't in the healing arts. Turning her gaze back to the creature that had mauled her she let out a terrifying scream of hatred and lashed out with both hands. Her fingers grew shards of ice as she sliced at the creature that had just hit her twice and then stepped back to buy some breathing room.
Fraejia focused and called up an other blast of cold. The beam of energy flew across the intervening space between herself and her chosen target.
The end of the fighting, and the discussion she couldn't understand, left Fraejia confused. She let those who could communicate do so and otherwise kept watch for trouble. How she missed the sudden gas attack she'd never know but before she knew it the whole thing was done. Two baghra fell, one dad and the other dying. She quickly realized what these things were, nanites. Normally her kind and technology didn't fare well together but she was young enough still that such effects were not an issue for her. She resisted the cloud long enough to know the others were alright and then let go so the machines could do what they were meant to do. When the smoke cleared and she could move again the esper woman moved towards the bahgra who had fallen and broken his leg to try and help as best she could. She knelt and pressed and ear close to the canine man's mouth while she watched his chest for movement. One was obviously dad, she just hoped that this one could be saved.
Angered by the thing's actions Fraejia focused and sent a blast of cold at it once more. The slew of icy energy shot forth and looked like it would slam into the creature successfully.
With the creature out of reach Fraejia changed her tactics after her claw swiped through thin air. She raised her sights ans a swirl of cold began around her, a swirl which she promptly flung at the thing on the ceiling as she yelled, "Come and get me you damned dirty bug!"
Fraejia made her way carefully back down with her companions and found the hole where the Baghra had been taken. Her blood, or at least what passed for blood in her people, was boiling and she was spoiling for a fight now. Realizing she was probably the most difficult to harm of the group Fraejia decided that waiting to save the dogman was unacceptable, it'd take too long already. Instead she simply dropped through the hole and was ready to attack the bug if she saw it.
Fraejia saw the freakish thing come down and attack and knew there was nothing she could do to help it's first victim. She saw the Bahgra take the blow and pass out from the injuries and began a response of her own. She focused a moment and then sent a burst of frigid, blue, cold at the insectoid. A shame really, it kind of reminded her of the pets some kept on the world of her childhood. Unfortunately the precarious position and the fond memory caused her aim to be ridiculous and she simply froze a patch of wall several feet shy of the creature for a few seconds before it thawed once again.
I'm still here.

Looking up Fraejia shrugged in acceptance and began climbing. She was obviously not that great at climbing given her hesitation but she was managing to do alright as she began to pull herself up the vine.
With the sudden stop, and no sign of immediate threat, Fraejia broke down her ice walls and looked out of the lift. "Looks like we climb then." She looked both up and down the shaft carefully for any problems they might have while climbing, or for any other nearby lift that looked functional.
Fraejia moved to the elevator as well, ready to get in and take it up. When everyone was able to get into it she gestured them back from the doors and then focused. As she did the temperature dropped in the lift and across the opening appeared a thin sheet of ice. She motioned for everyone to hunker down behind it and said as best she could, "Break if safe, not hard."
Her expression saddened as she examined the panels and finally said, "Never mind, it looks like we're already too late for these. It seems their tubes malfunctioned and killed them all." She lay her hand on one of the tube station and sang something in her native language, a language that oddly didn't make any sense despite the ability to understand each other, the gist of it seemed to be a lament for the dead. linguistics 15 or knowledge arcana 17:
It seems there is some other aspect of he native tongue than what is spoken preventing the translation from being complete.
Fraejia considered Neve's point and nodded before replying to her, "If this is a ship we can likely do as you suggest, it depends on the ship though. If it's a base or a very large ship we may not be able to come back here at all in which case they are as good as dead and we should kill them now so they at least die in peace." She sighed then and looked around, "Let's see if we can find a terminal and access some information about where we are before we decide to leave them." As she looked around she spoke to AefPakka, "Ships that travel the stars can be as small as am animal drawn carriage, those are usually short range ships, rarely able to travel far beyond a given system, to ships miles in length. Most tend to be somewhere on the lower to middle end of that with most being less than a mile or so long. Then there are some that are so large it would be impossible to explain to you. You lack a frame of reference to truly comprehend."
"The behemoth vessels, my people had a number of them at one time, are designed to ferry smaller vessels between universes. The largest I've ever heard of was large enough to swallow most of your solar system inside one cavernous hangar bay, the sun included."
Fraejia could see both sides of the argument but finally said, "Remember the room before last though? Our captor's murdered their prisoners. I'm not willing to leave them here. Why don't the rest of you finish exploring this level while I see if I can figure out how to safely open these." She paused a moment and then continued, "Andretta, I want you to stay with me, it might be necessary to have you use your ability so we can understand whoever is in there when we open them."
"Showing you my world isn't possible, I do..." She stopped herself then and seemed slightly annoyed, "That isn't possible, we don't even know if we're on a ship, this could be some enclosed facility, it might not even be in space but on another world altogether. Even if it is a ship I can all but garuantee you it can't travel between universes, that takes technology far beyond most universes to accomplish. Even to the beings that built this such might seem as much magic to them as this place does to you."
Freajia almost seemed relieved for a distraction, at least until Artirian spoke. She rolled her eyes in exasperation and said, "No, not planes, worlds. Golarion is a world, it orbits a star, it's son, there are likely other worlds in orbit circling the same star. Those other worlds may have life, or they may not. When taken all together your star and the worlds around it are a star system, each star in the night sky has it's own star system, there may be life there, there may not be. When you talk about planes you are describing your universe and it's various parts." Her tone had become very instructional, much like a teacher reciting a lesson in an impersonal fashion, "Your planes combine to create your universe, then you take your universe and add it to the whole of existence which contains countless universes. As a whole there has never been a limit found to existence, at last count there were some five-hundred million universes and counting and almost all of them are made up of more stars, like yours, so many the number would be meaningless to any of us but Neve and myself."
Fraejia seemed pleased at AefPakka's interest as she said, "There are whole worlds covered with nothing but water, I've seen one once, though I didn't get to land there. I..." she paused then, as if she were reining her enthusiasm in and obviously changed what she was going to say, "as for talking of my kind, we'll see, we generally keep most knowledge of ourselves from outsiders." By the time she finished she seemed almost frigid in demeanor. She focused on Aurexil then, as if needing a target to be gruff towards, and said, "Whether you believe me or not, it doesn't change the truth. Fortunately you seem willing to suspend that disbelief. An open mind is a good thing."
Sense Motive 12:
While she's trying to be off putting it's an act. Sense Motive 20:
It seems she's afraid to open up to AefPakka, or anyone for that matter, though she may want to.
Fraejia considered how best to respond and said, "And good thought, I'm Fraejia, the youngest known of my people, the Esper. As for what a ship is, I assume you are familiar with water going ships and boats of different kinds? Well, a ship, in this case, is a vessel that is capable of sailing the blackness between the stars. Your world's sun, it's source of daylight, is a star as are all the lights in the night's sky and many of them have world's like the one's all of you came from."
Accepting the woman's gift with fascination Fraejia tried it out in something like giddy delight when she heard the Bagrha spokesdog speak, "Wow! This is kind of neat, I've heard of similar abilities before, it's even rumored some of the eldest of my kind can do this constantly." She paused then to collect herself, schooling her expression, and continued, "I agree that we should get on with things but it would be wise to plan how to handle combat now, while we can each reveal what we are capable of doing. I'll go first," she paused to gather her thoughts and said, "You've already seen what I can do, I manipulate cold, freezing, thawing, if it's cold it's my play thing. I can't do a lot with creating and forming ice yet, I'm still growing into my powers, in particular I can create alow barrier of ice at will, and send blasts of sheer cold at targets. I also am a decent mechanic and engineer." She looked at the others, "How about the rest of you?"
Considering the offer of this new woman for a moment Fraejia finally responded, "I think that would be a wise idea, to help calm everything down for the moment at the very least." She turned then to Aurexil and said in a flurry of breathy sounding words, [b]"દરેકને સાથે આ પાસ કરો તો તમે છો. કોઈ મહિલા અહીં Andretta તેથી તે અમે બધા એક ટૂંકા સમય માટે દરેક અન્ય સમજવા કરી શકો છો. તે પણ ઘણીવાર ન કરી શકો, પરંતુ તેનો ઉપયોગ કરવા માટે કે જેથી અમે બધા શું કરવું પર કરાર કરવા માટે આવે કરી શકો છો તૈયાર છે. હું માનું છું કે તેમણે જણાવ્યું હતું કે અમે માત્ર દસ મિનિટ હશે તેથી તે ઝડપી હોવા જ જોઈએ. તે દરેક વ્યક્તિ સ્પર્શ તે છતાં કામ કરવા માટે હોય છે. Bahgra કે સ્વીકારશે?"[b]
auran: Pass this along to everyone if you would. The lovely lady Andretta here can make it so we all understand each other for a short time. She can't do it too often but is willing to use it so we can all come to an agreement on what to do. I believe she said we will only have ten minutes so it must be fast. She has to touch each person to make it work though. Will the Bahgra accept that?
Freajia approached Andretta carefully and said, "Well met Andretta, I'm Fraejia and this is Neve. As my companion here said, we both speak Galak, none of the rest do. Fortunately I share a language with Aurexil and she shares some with others so we can all communicate, albeit in a round about fashion." She gestured to Andretta and the other Bahgra to follow and headed back out to the main area. "So, which door next?"
Fraejia's attention was caught when the woman spoke in a language she understood, it was a relief that she could communicate more readily with her. "They are pack animals, they need to establish dominance, you were resisting that and I think it's the cause of the fighting. We had a similar problem and after knocking most of the pack out they ceased being a problem and became our allies," she paused and considered, "at least for now." She looked at the situation and then said, "I need you to lower your weapon and then, if they hold, work your way slowly around to me. I won't let them attack you if I can help it, just don't show them any fear and I'll meet you partway." She then shifted to her left a few feet warily as she watched the Bahgra for any aggression.
The sight wasn't a good one, the woman fighting off these baghra was likely to set their own bahgra. She held up her hand in a gesture intend to indicate they should hold and approached the bahgra cautiously as she held out her hands to her sides in as non-threatening a manner as she could. "No...fight. We...flee...come." She made a gesture indicating they should come with her group and then watched cautiously for their reaction now that she was next to a couple of them.
Fraejia nodded at Neve and, when the draconic woman tapped her and asked what had been found, she replied, "તેમણે જણાવ્યું હતું કે તે કીઓ જોવા મળે છે."
Auran: She said that she found the keys.
Freajia looked in interest at the apparently unused cylinders, she noted the differences between them but couldn't figure out what they meant just now. As they moved into the next chamber her breath caught at the sight of the dead and she felt a surge of anger flow through her. She started to glow as she began to "sing" again, the cold blue light radiating from her. She paid little attention to the others as, in a trance, she walked into the midst of the bodies, her song increasing and, with a sudden flash of blue light she stepped back out. Where the bodies were was no a rather large block of whitish ice that had a strange script embedded into it. She blinked and quieted, then she looked at the ice block in confusion and said, "They...at...peace. Not touched again...ever."
Realizing there is an enemy to the northeast that Aurexil is fighting Fraejia moved up to help deal with it, She got close enough to send a burst of energy at it and keep herself undercover at the same time.
Aggravated at her lack of a clear shot Fraejia took one anyway. She got lucky as the bahgra before her moved back to dodge the creautres strike she was able to hold her hand out right beside the doglike creature's head and send a near unobstructed blast into the alien's face.
