Thank you. Five and a half weeks away from my family is rough, but the work is good and will help the family unit in the long run. :)
My wife misses me already though :( (and me, her)

Lilly assumed Maia knew she knew that she knew what might be known... about... crap what was it again... oh, that speaking to the blue people was a good idea. Lilly might have found a bit of rowdy fun that involved a bit of... well you know... down in the hold of the ship here and there that had her preoccupied from talking strategy with her friend/captain. Nothing about being alive to awaken one's libido. And at the moment the ginger cleric is very very awake.
Lily seems quite content and gives Estian a quick squishy hug. "My hero" she beams.
Lilly catches her friend's eyes and frowns "Someone dying in battle is one thing, but I am against executions, even in this case... but won't get in the way if that is what you decide, captain." she uses the title in this case instead of her friend's name, keeping the two separate is important to her at the moment.
"Not the greatest of deals was it?" Lilly says with a frown. She crossed her arms over her chest and tries not to let her mother's temper out as she watches Estian talk to the gull shit.
"FRIENDS!" the ginger cleric shouts back in scorn and disgust. "I don't think you understand that word, you simpering weasel of a man." her eyes flash with a fury of other things she'd like to say or do, but she stamps them down in the wake of her duty. She quickly goes to the rest of the crew and starts checking to see if they are wounded and what she can do to help, providing smiles and soft words for anyone that needs them over healing. Not Smiler though.
Lilly doesn't know exactly what is going on with all this auran being passed back and forth, but she gets the gist. "We can work together to get free of the storm, and you can make new families."
Lilly nods a HmmfHmmf sharply even though she has no idea what Maia is saying.
Lillebeth was looking around the room, to combat too much energy, but hurries over to the throne once company arrives. The ginger cleric doesn't add nearly as much weight as Estian though.
"The pearl is lovely!" Lilly gushes, slipping the chain it is on over her head to nestle warmly in place. "Oh that shirt would look fetching on you, Estian."
After the items are distributed, the cleric says "I need a moment. My goddess deserves a little time to express my thanks for her aid." Lilly smiles warmly at her companions then excuses herself to pray for a few minutes, bringing along one of the silver combs to try and tame her thick hair into something akin to sanity.
Maia is probably charming enough to make it work :)
Lillebeth the humble cleric evolves into Lillebeth the Super Summoner!
fcb in skills
Do we go ahead and add the level 2 spells or wait until we rest next?
"Maia, that bow looks like it will help you. Estian, do you think you could use that ring?" she offers as she eyes the shiny bracers.
"Horrid little creature. Sorry it took us so long to free you too." she tells Brelkar and Lightfoot, giving them both quick but tight hugs, before she does an exhaustive search of the place. "Keep an ear out for her troops."
Lilly struggles internally but trusts Maia. With a screech, the eagle continues its attacks.
The eagle sensing Lilly's distress does significantly worse at its attacks.
Lilly makes a frustrated sound but can't bring herself to attack a person that is surrendering. Her eyes stays on Cekerite while Estian tries to help Maia.
"Maia! Why are you jumping the water?!?" Lilly looks at the fey "Help get her out of there and we can stop fighting!" she holds out her arm for the lovely amazing fey-fighting eagle to rest on for the few moments it is still with them.
--
A new eagle appears behind the evil fey, tearing into her with beak and talon once again. Lilly herself starts praying for the fey to run away afraid.
Lilly's celestial eagle lets out a shrill screech as it continues its attacks with talons and beak, before poofing in a poof of poofiness. All gone.
Lilly's summoning takes WAYYYY longer than she meant it to. Silently she apologizes to the gods for all the concentrated chanting. A beautiful celestial eagle appeared right behind the nixie. A high-pitched whistle is all it makes before attacking.
Then she'll give Estian a bit of luck. "Go Get Her!" she suggests loudly.
"Wanting something is great. Enslaving people to get it is wrong!" the cleric says sternly to the nixie as she begins to summon something to help them defeat her.
"Yes mother" Chrysa rolls her eyes, but will take her time looking for a trap. She was fairly certain there was not one there, but then it exploded. So she was wrong.
Lilly wants to tell the gross green tyrannt to go do things with herself, but she still holds her tongue SOMEHOW, and glances at Maia.
Lilly opens her mouth to protest LOUDLY, but shuts it as quick as she can manage, and Trusts Her Captain.
"so, in the building?" the cleric asks/suggests and then moves toward the front door since that seemed to be the plan. Keeping her eyes and ears open while she does so.
"stake out the fancy house, yes captain." Lilly bumps her friend's elbow and gives her a grin then moves with the others, only marginally quietly.
"Lots of sharks..." Lilly gulped "Well as long as we don't jump in the water we can leave them alone, I'd think." then she smiles "That would leave them for our hero dragon to munch on later." Looking at the houses "Do we try and go to each, hoping to thin as many out before we sound an alarm, or strive straight toward the bigs ones in hopes to deal with the leaders before they can organize the rest?"
"There is one in the pool or just a shark?" Lilly is confused.
"be careful" Lilly gives him a quick scratch.
"now we know why they wanted our tools and a carpenter." the cleric tsks disdainfully at their attempts at construction.
"They took our tools, but I can try and help them make something." Lilly says with some doubt, but moves the crew off to find something suitable.
Lilly thinks as she prays wounds away.
"If she has one of ours, we have to try. Powerful or not." Lilly says with a steady conviction, obviously her heart is ready to do or die trying. She looks up to her friend, the captain, worried her pragmatic side might seep through.
Lilly starts moving through the sailor, checking for wounds, listening to horror stories. She'll pull them all in for a channel to clear up as much as she can.
"This is bad" Lilly gets her mace out, clearly wanting to run on the ship to find out what happened NOW. But is smart enough to know taking this slow would be better.
Lilly nuzzles against the little dragon with a delighted laugh "A hero's worth!" the ginger assures him, alternated between tickles and scratches, and a snuggle thrown in because one must at times like this.
There is a very interested young former 'passenger' that shyly watches the cleric and her friend pass the time in playful fun. Lilly catches her eye and beckons her over with smiles, introducing lady to dragon (with dragon's permission of course) and teaches lady just where the mighty dragon likes his scratches the best.
Lilly is curled up on the floor of the captain's cabin, happy as a lark, with a belly full of devilfish and a very soft snore.
A huge rat pops into existence suddenly, all ready to tear into the mightly devilfish, only to look back at Lilly with obvious disappointment. "Sorry about that. You could gnaw on its corpse a little if that would make you feel better?" but it does not and the rat disappears again without comment. That awkward moment passing, and Lilly is joining the Akaleesha's celebration with a jubilant dance and impromptu song of 'ding dong the devilfish is dead' "Your home it Yours again, mighty Akaleesh!"
"That's... laughter? Oh heavens..." usually when someone is laughing so hard, like a true belly shaker, the watchers want to join in. But that thing writhing about makes Lilly want to look away more than anything else. The cleric instead concentrates on a space near it and starts casting for another creature to join them for the fight.
Lilly stands behind however is going to toppke a stair ands gives them a friendly pat on the back for luck.
The elaborate play is in place. A lovely copy, a pile of yummy fish guts, a trail to the water. Two heavy statues ready to be tipped over. A perfect potential that has Lilly almost bouncing to see how it all might end up.
"We place some bait in the water to temp it, then trail the bait up to the land, where our fake pretty dragon here is feasting on more yummy seafood."
Lilly gives Estian a look of What? Are? You! then her eyes widen "Oh I see, yes, that would be better!"
Before heading back to the ship that night, Lilly looks around the cove.
Back at the ship, she finds a new shirt from the captain's quarters to replace her ripped and bloodstained one. An emerald green, unfortunately, a shade shorter than the last one making her guard for too many quick movements otherwise her virtues will be showing. A wise decision later she has fashioned a bit of a skirt from a pillowcase and a length of rope. Afterward, Lilly does the rounds to each of the sailors making sure each is fit and fiddle. Doing her best with smiles and perseverance on those indifferent to thaw the distance between them. Even those on the other side of the bars just a few short days ago. "We all are needed in this endeavor if we are to survive." she tells herself as well as others. She can offer minor healing and her goddesses blessings but has to show her ignorance a time or two on normal doctoring. "No, I know nothing about rashes so please put that back in your pants, Zane. Yes, I am sure massaging it would make it feel so much better, but that is something you'll have to handle on your own." |
