I somehow never saw this. I'm so sorry. I definitely understand as I was up until a couple weeks ago facing the same thing and if not for the generosity and fortune circumstances of a family member would be looking at the same outcome. I'm really sorry and wish you the best in finding a better situation. When you're able t find the time and frame of mind to game again, I'll be here.
"After that there is the place I've been staying up to now that I'd like to check on. A good contact in this city, and I owe her a debt." Kalaya says quietly.
"If needed, I know of a safe place we can stay....and apparently have quite a bit of coin based on how money works here." Kalaya says to the others.
Kalaya smiles. "And what exactly would you consider 'the proper amount of coin?'" the witch asks.
"I would say the fallout of a battle between wizards and gods would be concern for every living thing in the nearby area." Kalaya says sardonically.
"As in a danger to the public?"
"How did you come by it Auric?" the witch asks , clearly intrigued.
"The magic on it is powerful indeed. It looks as if it was very much meant to keep something contained within, whether of great value or dangerous power I'm not sure." the witch replies.
Careful not to touch the accursed box, Kalaya whispers an arcane word, her eyes glowing blue as she studies it.
"No no one like that. I awoke in what I assume is someone's house. It was locked up and I had to leave through a window actually. I apparently made my way across town until I managed to find an inner where I managed to get some help and a safe place to stay." Kalaya replies.
"I had someone guide me to this place, by the way, if you come back with me there's a relatively safe place to stay." Kalaya says happy to see tho others and wondering where Magnus might be.
Stilgar&Shadowborn: "I've heard the same, fortunately I've had the benefit of meeting some good people who've looked out for me." she replies with a chuckle. "Have you been able to find any of the others?"
Shadowborn: "Stilgar? I can't tell you how glad I am to see you." Kalaya says, happy to see a familiar face.
Shadowborn: Taking a moment for her eyes to adjust, Kalaya moves in the direction of the dwarf she finds familiar, noting that so far the dwarven presence here seemed minimal.
Shadowborn: Considering for a moment, Kalaya smiles at Ham. "I think I'll head over on my own for now and see you there when you head in." she says getting out of the cart. "Thank you so much for the ride."
Shadowborn: "Why thank you Ham." Kalaya says getting herself settled as he begins to haul the cart.
Shadowborn: "I'd really appreciate that. And perhaps I'll take you up on the recommendation and see if I can bring them here."Kalaya replies.
Sadowborn: "To be perfectly honest, I need to get across town to somewhere I’ve never been before, called the Six with Eight Tails. It’s the best lead I have to finding friends of mine.”the witch replies quietly.
Shadowborn: Finishing her meal, Kalaya makes her way over to the bar, greeting Marza with a nod. "Good morning. Hope you rested well."
Shadowborn: Kalaya sits down to the morning meal, considering what her next step should be and whqt the odds were that any of the others had ended up in this strange place as well.
Shadowborn: "I'd definitely be open to that if you are in any way representative of the rest. Have a good night." she replies with a yawn, before heading up to her room.
Shadowborn: "I'll be okay....I think. It's been a long day and I had a run in with some very rough types that I was lucky to get away from. I guess I was hurt a little worse than I thought. Now that I have a chance...to quiet down I guess I'm feeling it." the witch says, all of which was actually true. "I reaally appreciate the room. Thank you Kess." she replies tiredly.
Shadowborn: [b]"Uhm...yes thank you....I'd really appreciate that."[/n] Kalaya says more than a little surprised at the value of the random currency she'd woken up surrounded by.
Shadowborn: Kalaya nods, reaching into her purse and sorting through the random collection of coin she'd picked up that were scattered around when she'd awakened, trying to figure which were likely to be 'shields'
Lol, have fun.
Shadowborn: Kalaya chuckles slightly shaking her head. "I think I'll take my chances with a corner of the common room thanks."
Shadowborn: "So I've been told. I'm looking for a place to spend the night, given the apparent dangers." the witch replies.
Shadowborn: 'Hmm. It's as if they're expecting trouble.'
Returning the nod, Kalaya makes her way to the bar looking for the proprietor.
Shadowborn: Thinking better of approaching the stone cap alone, Kalaya withdraws the lights, making her way to the tavern and snuffing them out before opening the door.
Shadowborn: Horrified at her discovery, Kalaya sends all for orbs forward, spacing them out 10 ft from each other to illuminate as much of the allewway as possible. A she does she readies herself to cast a spell should the need to defend herself arise.
Shadowborn: Kalaya warily approaches guiding two of her lights to travel further down the alley, illuminating it further.
Shadowborn: Looking in the direction of the alley, Kalaya heeds Whisperwing's apprehension, softly speaking an arcane word the conjures four bobbing lantern lights around her casting more light into the surrounding shadows as she approaches the tavern as she keeps the alley in her line of sight.
Shadowborn: "Thank you so much for all your help." Kalaya says heading through the gate once it's opened. Staying alert she keeps an eye out for The Charred Barrel
Shadowborn: ”Oh thank you so much…I feel so silly.” Kalaya says feigning embarrassment. ”It’s been a long day and I guess I was a little distracted. I’m glad I came across you two rather than one of those dangerous people you were mentioning. Is there anywhere in the Merchant's District you’d recommended?”
Shadowborn: Walking up to the guards Kalaya addresses them. "Uhm.....hello I'm new in town and....I got turned around. Can you point me to the Six with Eight Tails please?"
Shadowborn: After a few seconds, Kalaya resumes her normal form, walking around the stone house as she takes it all in.
Staggered by the sheer size of what had to be the largest house she'd ever seen, in a town so large she couldn't even wrap her head around it, the young witch is truly at a loss for how to find her friends. "This must be the fabled Fardusk." she says aloud to Whisperwing as was her habit when they were alone. "Where was it Gabby said we should go? Six with Eight Tails....that's it! I guess we look for a grouping of people." she said moving down the street.
Shadowborn: As Whisperwing heads out, Kalaya reaches deep within calling upon all the potential knowledge that could lie within her grasp. In a burst of shadowy feathers, she turns into a Tiny blurred shape reminiscent of a black raven and flies out the open window.
Shadowborn: "It looks like whoever holds the key is long gone aren't they?" Kalaya says aloud to her companion wandering around the area before heading back to the window. Reaching up she releases the latch opening it up. "Okay Whisperwing you fly out and get a good view of this place, I'll be out right behind you."
Shadowborn: Picking up some of the coins as well as the ceramic chits, Kalaya moves over to the door,trying it.
Shadowborn: ”Well it looks like the teleportation circle actually still works doesn’t it?” she says quietly to her companion. ”The question is, where did we end up? Whoever set that thing up hasn’t been here in a while.” she mutters, tracing her fingers through the dust on the desk. Going over to the bookshelf, she inspects the leather-bound tomes there trying to get a feel for the type of person who would inhabit this place, before wandering over to the window to look out.
Shadowborn: The hoot and soft nuzzling quells the rising panic as Kalaya realizes Whisperwing is alright. [n]"Unnhh...what the hells happened??"[/b] she mutters as she runs her fingers through her companions downy feathers. With a soft incantation she conjures up a quartet of bobbing torch-like lights, illuminating the room as she carefully stands up.
While the others speak Kalaya studies the circle intently, seeking to fathom its use.
Stumbling through the smoke, Kalaya sets her sights on the other eel, bringing the same malevolent will to bear on the creature she bends it's fortune.
Suffering from both bite and burning smoke, Kalaya increases the focus of her will, a shadowy aura beginning to appear around the creature.
Receiving a strong mental warning from Kalaya, Whisperwing immediately launches into a dive towards her, at the same time the witch focuses on the approaching creature waiting until it is close enough to attack, bending funtune itself against the creature.
"Sounds as good an idea as any." Kalaya comments.
