Lady Shae nods at Sariels question, gripping her staff tightly as she remembers the last time she was here. She wouldn't let it get the better of her this time, this time would be different. "Lets do this then." she said with a gravitas appropriate to the situation.
Lady Shae nods, eyes alight. She gets ready to pounce on the man. "Be careful, he could try to attack us. Let's be ready."
Lady Shae shook her head, sighing a heavy sigh. "I could not track Eddy Bear down yet. But I did learn about a few things." Lady Shae spends the next few moments filling in with her comrades about what she learned about the prison and the people who found themselves there.
After taking notes and many hours of study, Lady Shae retires to the sitting room, where she waits for Sorsul and Sariel to return. She learned a lot, and maybe, with the information they also found, they can make their next steps. It seemed to the Lady there was only one place to go: the prison. She takes some tea and begins to doze lightly in a big armchair, waiting with Miss Kendra for her companions to return.
"I guess that's that then. I'll have to ask around the village, Tobi." Getting off the ground and placing the feather in her pocket, Lady Shae headed back towards the library in Lorrimor Manor. Having hit a dead end, it was time to do the second part of that day's tasks.
Deciding to try one more thing before resorting to talking to the villagers, Lady Shae took one of the feathers and sat in the street, meditating on the item with her eyes closed. Soon after, she began to snore quietly, her head bobbing up and down as she breathed.
Lady Shae looked around, trying to find the next clue to where the bird could be. Patting Tobi on the head, she smiled at her companion. "Good job, Tobes. I'll take it from here." Deciding that trees may hold a nest or something, Lady Shae focused on the different trees in the area.
Lady Shae grabbed a feather from the ground and inspected it thoroughly, trying to figure out what to do next. Tobi, however, began to weave in and out of his witch's legs, chirping while placing his front paws on her leg. Lady Shae pushed the spectral cat away a few times before he stubbornly jumped and wrestled the feather from her grasp. "Tobi! What has gotten into-" Pausing mid-sentence, realization dawned on her face. "Oh, Tobi! Smart, wonderful Tobi! Can you track it?" The glowing kitty chirped in the affirmative before taking in the scent of the bird. A moment later, he was off, his witch rushing to catch up.
At first taken aback by the author being a grown man, Lady Shae's eyes softened at his plea. She looked down at Tobi, who nodded and then looked back at Vrodish. "Of course, I will try to find him for you. Here, take this candy and tell me which way the bird flew. He's as good as found!" She took a green tea and honey candy from her pouch and handed it over. After being pointed in the right direction, the Lady began to search for any sign of the bird or Eddy Bear himself.
Lady Shae yanks down the 'EDDY BEAR' post and rereads it. With a fevered look in her eye, she looks at each of her companions. "I feel like I need to take this one. After figuring out where this 'Eddy Bear' is, I think I will retire to the professor's library and see what I can scrounge from his personal collection." She rested her staff in the crook of her arm and picked up Tobi with the hand not holding the note. "Meet you both back at the manor?" She asked before setting off.
Lady Shae stood, leaning on her staff, snoring lightly. But at the mention of the posting poles, she wakes abruptly. "Perhaps there is a clue to where the boy went there." She punctuated the sentence with a slight yawn, covering her mouth so as not to be rude. "It's worth a look, in my opinion."
Lady Shae sighed. "I couldn't read him either. I think we need to look elsewhere for information." She picked up Tobi and began petting him unconsciously. With no other options, she left it up to her friends.
Lady Shae kept quiet in the back but tried to make sense of the wizards' words. She listened intently, trying to get a reading of the man and if he was hiding something about his involvement with the missing boy.
Lady Shae nodded at Sariel from behind a book, her familiar resting on her lap. "I'm ready when you both are. Rest well?"
With a smile, Lady Shae took out a tea and honey candy and handed it to Sariel. "Nothing strange; he just passed out when we made it to his bed. He did say something about burning and said the name Lyvar. Perhaps we should look into that name?" She fished two honey healing candies and handed two to Sorsul. "Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to crack the conundrum of healing candies for you, Sariel. But I am still trying."
I CAN BREATHE AGAIN! haha
Lady Shae was just finishing up with her candy-making as Sariel came in through the doors. "Hello, friends. Nothing much happened last night after I saw the drunk man home. He collapsed into his bed and snoring before I even had the covers over him." Dusting the flour she used to make the candy less sticky off of her hands, she placed the last few bits of candy on the counter to harden. "Find anything interesting last night on your stakeout?"
Lady Shae continued to fight the fire, smothering the flames as best she could.
With another bout of flames squashed, Lady Shae wipes her brow and looks around the room, seeing Sorsul down a skull. "Way to go Sorsul! One left!"
Aware that her magic might not be practical, Lady Shae tries her hardest to douse the flames. With her cloak, she begins batting at the flames, trying to smother them before they get out of hand. "I only have fire magic to fight with! I don't think that is the best thing right now! I'll keep the flames at bay the best I can!"
Beating at the flames and with sweat glistening her brow, Lady Shae directs her familiar to watch her back. The small feline, with its fur on end, yowls furiously, ready to attack when needed.
Lady Shae quickly springs into action, guiding those confused and falling behind to safety. She directs her familiar to help as well, and Tobi begins to try to lead the citizens to the exits.
Sitting by her comrades, Lady Shae tried to keep an eye on the door until the lanterns exploded, leading to mayhem and chaos. She jumped up and called out for Tobi, who came running to his witch, before she jumped into action. "We need to get the people out!" she yelled over the chaos.
Meeting back up with the others, Lady Shae whispered to the others. "I've noticed the apothecary isn't present. Perhaps we should keep an eye on them?" Tobi ran back to his witch and jumped into her arms before beginning to purr, relaying his findings. With an absent-minded pet of his ears, Lady Shae grabbed a chair where she could see the exit, deciding to keep watch just in case anyone tried to slip out unnoticed.
Lady Shae walked into the town meeting with her comrades, looking around to see if anyone she knew by sight was missing from the meeting. She looked over each person's face and tried to tally off the villagers.
Tobi made his way around the room, looking for any strange smell that didn't belong, hoping to ferret out any beasts that may try to attack like the stirges from before.
Seeming to fall asleep again, several moments pass before the noblewoman opens her eyes with a start. "I fear I have no news from my Patron on this matter. I am sorry for the lack of information. But I believe going to the town hall might be prudent." Lady Shae orders her meal and sips on her ale as she waits.
Lady Shae sat at the table, nodding off with her familiar on her lap. With Sariel's question, she woke abruptly, her head swinging quickly toward her comrade. "Uh? Oh Tobi? Unfortunately, he cannot go far from me without disappearing due to his unique existence. But I could use my divination to determine if it would be helpful to stake out the area. Shall I ask my Patron?" She smiled dreamily at her familiar while petting him gently, waiting for Sariel's answer.
Merry Christmas Eve, everyone. Hope you have a great holiday. <3
Still panting, Lady Shae looks at her comrades, cuddling her familiar, and regains her composure. "I feel that leaving for now and coming back later may prove more prudent. I'm sorry I lost my composure; those villainous things nearly burned me to a crisp. Sorsul, darling, do you need healing?" She let Tobi jump from her arms, shuffled through her pouch for another silver candy, and then handed it over to Sorsul.
Lady Shae falls to her knees, screaming in pain as the fire burns into her body. She runs as far away from the skeleton and, with shaking hands, locates a silver-colored candy and pops it into her mouth.
Suddenly, the burns on Lady Shae's skin alight with magical light, healing almost instantly. With a breath of relief, she calls to her compatriots. "These abominations are too strong for me! One good hit from them could kill me!" The fear is plain in her eyes.
Lady Shae startles at the shrieks, flying around and sending Tobi flying. With a hiss, Tobi regains himself and hides behind the witch's legs. Spotting the skulls, Lady Shae sighs as her eyes begin to glow and runes appear all over her skin. "Seems we are not alone after all." She said, pointing her staff at the closest skull.
After a quick moment to regain her composure after the burnt faces in the walls, Lady Shae nodded, looking around the room while waiting for the doors to reopen. "Perhaps there is something in here to give us a clue in solving the haunt issue..." With Tobi on her shoulders and her staff in hand, Lady Shae begins to investigate the room.
Lady She nodded and spun around, her staff at the ready. She looked around, looking for anything that could threaten Sorsul as she broke down the door. Tobi hissed, his fur on end and his back arched, also keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.
Lady Shae shook her head. "I don't think adventuring into this building will bring any good to us. I recommend we avoid it if we can." She shivered, and Tobi rubbed against her leg, meowing gently to comfort his witch.
"Give me a moment." Lady Shae closed her eyes and focused, her skin beginning to glow with runes while she concentrated on her question. Skin still shining, Lady Shae began to snore quietly. Her head nodded back and forth before she abruptly awoke. The runes blinked out, with no evidence they were ever there.
Lady Shae shifted nervously in her traveling clothes, feeling awkward in her ensemble. Wearing pants was a strange departure from her gowns and fancy, but she had to admit, they were much better than the long skirts of her usual attire. She looked around at the abandoned prison before her, shuddering at the strange pressure the cursed place gave off. With a small glance to make sure Tobi was right behind her, she followed behind her comrades. Noticing a glint of fear in Sorsul's eye, Lady Shae put a reassuring hand on her arm. She smiled at the woman as she conquered her fear. "I agree. Let us be careful. I have some healing candies but have yet to create a candy that can heal our friend, Sariel. My apologies." She gripped her staff firmly and readied herself for their mission, with a quick check to make sure her magical candies were still attached to her hip.
I will be posting later tonight! Sorry for the delay. <3
Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate it!! <3 Im about to have some more pie. Hehehe
Lady Shae listened carefully as Kendra told her story, tears in her eyes. Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Tobi scrambled out of Lady Shae's arms and jumped onto Kendra's lap, purring and head-butting her gently. "Yes. You have us for as long as you need us." She opened her pouch, took out a cream-colored candy, and walked over to Kendra, putting the caramel sweet in her hand. "Eat this. It will help." she said with a smile.
Lady Shae nodded, wiping her eyes with one hand and cradling Tobi with the other. "Honesty is the best policy. I feel as though, as hard as it will be to hear, it is best if we tell her before she hears it from someone else. News like this carries, we need to get ahead of it."
Feeling Sorsul's hand on her shoulder, she leaned into the comforting touch. "It's just so wrong." She whispered through her cries. Petting her familiar and taking the support from Sorsul, she gained her composure and wiped her eyes, looking up at Sorsul. "We need to find who did this. This is profane. I cant let this stand. Pharasma save us."
Lady Shae was abnormally quiet during the whole proceedings, in her thoughts as it were. She knelt and scooped up Tobi, tears falling from her eyes and soaking into the fabric of her mask. Tobi mewed in support, putting his tiny paw on her cheek. "Why would they do that? And having to cast magic on him... I feel like a monster." Her tears were flowing continuously, and a small sob stuck in her throat. She felt horrible for what she had done, even though she knew she had to. She cuddled Tobi as she gave into her sobs.
Lady Shae tried in vain to bite back her anger. Whoever had done this to the professor would pay and she would make damn sure of it. She let the power building in her build to its breaking point, lifting her hand to point towards the professor. The runes glowed brightly for a moment, then a ray of red flame erupted from her finger. Tears filled her eyes and her throat grew tight. She knew he was gone and the abomination in front of them was no longer her cherished friend, but it didn't ease the pain.
Was traveling all day yesterday, should be consistent for the next 10 days then I will have another day that is full of traveling. :)
Following her companions, Lady Shae absent mindedly petted Tobi on the head. "Well, that was an event, for sure. I hope they both get home alright." She was smiling to herself, not noticing her companions were frustrated. She hummed gently to herself as she followed behind the group, tuning out the rest of the world and sucking on a caramel candy she had made the day before. Then she looked up and saw the shuffling figure. Sure it was just Zokar, she almost overlooked it, until she noticed the clothing the figure was wearing. Was that..? When Sariel shouted his exclamation, Lady Shae immediately stiffened. With a quick, agile movement, she placed Tobi on the ground, who ran behind her, growling viciously. She grasped her staff and her skin began to glow with runes.
Lady Shae couldn't help it, she let out a bark of laughter as the scene played out. Noticing Sariel approaching the drunk, she followed, snickering to herself. Tobi stayed close to his witch, eyes wary and fur bristled.
Picking up Tobi with a sigh, Lady Shae backed down, smiling to herself content to watch the silly prank play out. Tobi growled quietly but didn't object to being picked up. With the perceived threat resolved, Lady Shae sat back down, unwrapping a small candy and popping it in her mouth. She looked around quickly, taking in the surroundings for anything else out of place.
Tobi hisses and hold his ground, alerting Lady Shae out of her quiet slumber. Seeing that something is happening, Lady Shae grabs her staff and moves forward to support Sorsul. "You are not to harm anyone in this town! Back down now or be stopped!" She quickly looked over the being, trying to figure out what the best course of action would be.
I hope you feel better soon! And I liked the post! Youre all good. <3
Lady Shae smiled at the priest's reaction to her candy. "I will try again and bring them to you tomorrow. Thank you for the feedback." Lady Shae was not upset in the least, loving the challenge of making the perfect candy for the man. Looking at Sorsul, she nods and heads back to the restricted books.
After reading and finding out more about the Whispering Way, Lady Shae closes the book and sighs. "So, Sorsul, I need to go by the market before we head back. Would you like to join me?" She smiled dreamily at her friend, hands busy petting Tobi. After returning the books to their places, Lady Shae made her way to the market to pick up some heavy cream for the priest's next batch of candies. As they walked toward the manor, Lady Shae looked over to her companion. "I feel that we may be making good headway with the town's people. I only hope we can continue to befriend them." Tobi padded quietly behind his witch, taking in the smells and sights of the market square. After securing the ingredients she needed, she headed back to the manor. First, she checked in with Kendra. "Hello, dear. How are you feeling today? Did you get rest?"
