Ilvah's page

Con save (+1 for singing, +1 for cloak): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18 Success!

Ilvah groans.

Con save (+1 for singing, +1 for cloak): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15 Con damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2 Failure

Her body spasms once!

Con save (+1 for singing, +1 for cloak): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (10) - 2 = 8 Con damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2 Failure

And then finally subsides. A dull, wet rattle issues from her lungs and then she lies still.

Con save (+1 for singing): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7 Con damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

"Ugh." Ilvah winces.

Ilvah coughs and goes into a fit of some sort. Her breathing grows ragged as her body twists and contorts as if against unseen bonds. The various bite marks on her weep caustic yellow venom.

If Alia remains in Brunterton (presumably with Ilvah), she would run into the Lord Mayor's messengers before they find the rest of the party in the woods.

Ilvah for her part does not reveal much--instead she changes the topic of discussion when ever things veer too close to her own past. "But what of you, and your past?"

Coming to a stop some distance away, after rounding a corner or two, Alia turns to Ilvah to console the girl:"They mean well. I know you are afraid. And it's not ok unless you say it's ok. You are with us, and I'll try and make sure they understand that. They are...worried about you. We will return to our new home soon...which is far to the southwest. That means if you come with us, there is no chance we may find whoever took care of you previously. They hope to find your family, and reunite you, but I have a feeling that is not your desire. You gave me your name before, so I know you understand us. Can you help me on this, too? Do you want to come with us, and leave all that was, and whoever raised you, behind?"

{Huge-eyed hopeful expression, on a head that slowly nods up and down.}

In another effort to return Ilvah to her parents wherever - and whatever - they were Illthir sits down with the girl at their room in the inn. Anyone whom want to come as moral support was of course welcome.

The skald started off by explaining what she would attempt to do. "So. While we've been traveling I've tinkered a little with a small spell. A divination - something that *might* work to find your parents Ilvah. Or about them at least. You shouldn't notice anything but a tingle. But if it gets uncomfortable or anything we will stop. Understood?"

As realization seems to dawn the girl's expression changes to one of fear and horror. She turns, and runs sobbing to Alia as she is in the middle of discussing rings with Zokon.

Continue?

"ghu'vam vISovbe'chugh."

{Puzzled expression}

Ilvah looks at party's clothes in confusion.

{Watching from behind the nearby tree.}

Alia shrugs it off...if someone bothered to turn invisible for spying on them, he would not leave his shoes. It seemed significantly more likely they belonged to some paramour of Zokons mother, in which case it was not her place to invade into the privacy of their generous host.

Quickly going through her sanitary bag, she finds the scented oils she looked for and returns to the tub - and smiles as the girl plays with some soap bubbles: "I'm glad you enjoy it, Ilvah!"

After her bath Ilvah sniffs herself warily and smiles. With her hair washed and dirt scrubbed from her she looks like any other girl.

Bathing Ilvah in the Tub Upstairs in Talasia's Room

There's a lot of suspicious looks, some sniffing of the soap cake, and surprise at the slipperiness of the tub itself, but eventually Ilvah settles in and seems to enjoy it even if she is apparently unfamiliar with process.

Alia meant to peruse the bath at some point during their stay. Thanks to prestidigitation she is usually clean - it is less a necessity for being presentable and more about the sensation of enjoying a hot bath. But she would do so on an evening with no other plans or events. Not on the first night and staying away from festivities - I'll assume Ilvah may want to take a bath as well then?

When asked, Ilvah looks at Alia as if to ask "What is this 'bath' thing you speak of?"

In the days that follow the girl keeps close Alia. When the elf turns around the waif always seems to be there.

Alia remains with the girl, for now. This, right now, was Zokons reunion. When he pointed her out or introduced her, she would step forward and present herself, but she was in no hurry to intrude - Zokon would know best when and how to tell his mother - and there was much to tell her, considering recent events.

"Come on, Auter, time to go.", she tells the girl, "I'll call you that. It means 'lost one' in my language. Since you never gave us a name, but you need one." She smiles, then helps pack things up.

The girl looks up with her big eyes that always seem to threaten tears and says: "Ilvah."
