Savah Bevaniky's page

The expression on Savah's wide-eyed face is one of sheer panic. The blacksmith's blood is splattered in the snow all over and around the wagon.

Even with Relisha's healing, Ahreni rips Savah's throat from her body with her teeth. As Olaff slams into her, Ahreni pulls more flesh free from Savah's body. The blacksmith's eyes go wide with panic when she realizes her plan is going to backfire. "NO!-NOoo-" she gurgles through a chest full of blood before she stops moving. The blood loss from the wounds is even too great for Relisha's healing to fix. Relisha feels the link with Savah snap, dissolving.

When Relisha comes in and tells them to stop, Savah just stares at Ahreni. She has a feeling the shifter isn't going to drop this, so... she does. Feeling the healing of her broken nose being removed by Relisha, she comes up with a plan and panders to the crowd.

She sets her blade down and says "Fine. We can-" and is immediately set upon by Ahreni. Throwing her hands wide she screams "Ahh! Wild animal! Feral b++&+! Thanara control your pet!"

Savah struggles to defend herself without fighting back as she is thrown to the ground and ravaged. She lets Ahreni do more damage to herself this way, without having to cause problems herself.

Savah returns the gesture by shoving the tip of the sword forward into Ahreni's chest, but not hard enough to push it through. "Get out of my wagon and go fetch us some dinner. I'm going to stand out in the cold in fight you like an animal because you want to."

"Pathetic." she says, putting more pressure on the blade to drive her point home.

It would be one thing to have this conversation alone with Thanara, but she brings her pet along with her? As what? Intimidation?

"You kill me? Oh really?" she says, looking to Ahreni before looking back to Thanara. "What is this? Ganging up on me with someone who can't even speak complete sentences to try and make me feel, what? IS this how you work things out now? Displays of power? What is it you are trying to convey here, Thanara? All I hear is threats."

She flicks her wrist idly in Ahreni's direction and holds up the pointed blade in her direction "I'm not afraid to shove this blade into your chest. I'm not afraid of you, so narrow your eyes all you want. No one wants you. No one even likes you. You're only here because Sandru feels sorry about leaving you behind. Don't come in here making threats you won't make good on."

Savah is huddled inside her wagon, rooting through a box of metal blades she's working on. She pulls one out roughly, clanging all of the other items in the box in the process. She's looking over the item when Thanara and Ahreni appear. She looks briefly to Ahreni, but turns to Thanara and says "Why are you out here? You should be inside in the warmth with all of your newfriends."

While Thanara wanders off to do whatever it is she doing, Savah watches from the safety of their wagon. When the sorceress begins to return with an undead beast marching behind her, she calls out an alarm "Quick! There is something behind Thanara that's going to hurt her! She must be unaware! Kill it!"

The woman looks around nervously and lowers her voice "Well alright. We just can't help everyone around here as soon as they walk in, you understand, right? She looks like she's in so much pain though, come along with me."

She leads you to a room off on the side and begins to take a look at Savah's arm. "Alright. If you would kindly make a donation of 25 gold pieces, I could get this taken care in about an hour. That's the best I can do."

"TWENTY-FIVE GOLD PIECES!" Savah exclaims loudly. "THAT'S ROBBERY!"

Savah wants badly to fold her arm across her chest and even starts to do so before the pain flashes and she winces. "What?! I don't want to be wait all night for a chance to be seen? You're rich! Flash your purse and let's get this taken care of so we can get out of here!"

Thanara is with Savah finding a healer, which they find, but not the response they want to hear. A rather unpleasant dwarven female explains to them "Donations are required, and it will be more since you aren't active parishioners of our faith in this town."

"One of the acolytes will triage what they can and admit you for long-term care during the day if needed. Magical spells are only perform in the evening before the day has passed, and only as a last resort. Now. If you are still interested, we can get you set up here to be looked at?"

Savah whispers to Thanara "I'm going to punch her with my broken arm. Let me do it. I'll just club her over the head real quick with it."

With measured words, she says "I think my arm is broken. I don't want that tiefling anywhere near me. Did you see what she did to "Fix" that other man? I don't trust her one bit."

Savah’s arm hangs awkwardly and her expression is pained ”Hello. I’m so glad to see you are still alive. You look like you are unhurt, that’s good.”. She says through strained lips.

Savah grins and plops back down to the bed, beginning to retie her hair back behind her head. "See."

"Alright. But you asked for this. And I swear to the Gods if you tell anyone this happened I will spank you bare-ass in front of Koya, Sandru and every other person in the caravan." she threatens, a bit of her old commanding voice returning as she holds her finger out at Thanara.

She clears her throat and shakes her head, letting her hair down and fly out as she undoes it. Standing up on the the bed she takes a deep breath and then begins to sing.

In a voice much deeper than her own, she says "Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?"

Switching to a falsetto, she leans in and waggles her finger in Thanara's face "Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full." as she holds up three fingers.

Standing back up counts off in her mock-child voice "One for the master, One for the dame, And one for the little boy who lives down the lane."

As she sings the last part she dances around in a circle and lets her hair flop all around her head.

"Try?" Savah asks, accepting the challenge? "I could make you smile sooooooo easily, why I could do it without even trying!" she boasts with a puffed out chest. "I'm the QUEEN of smiles, after all." she says, full of confidence.

Savah smiles back and leans in to kiss Thanara, taking care to keep things gentle and slow knowing that the sorceress was sensitive and emotionally unstable right now. She lifts her head up and says ”I like it when you smile, I haven’t seen much of that lately. It looks good on you.”

No, you don't.

"Yes, of course you do. Don't be silly Thanara. Relationships are hard work and that means there going to be ups and downs. You are also working through all of these changes to your body, the changes in your friends relationships, what's happening with Ameiko. It's a lot to take in a short period of time."

"Shhhh, it's okay. I've got you. You're safe here." she says, coddling Thanara and trying to comfort her in her time of need.

"Shhhhh. Don't you say such things now, darling." She sits her book down and runs her hands down Thanara's moist cheeks, wiping away the tears. "We both know that isn't true at all. Tell me about the things that are bothering you and we can talk about them all one at a time, alright?"

"If you wish it so, I will be more than happy to stay." she says, squeezing Thanara's hand.

Leading her inside, Savah shuts her door and starts with "We don't have to talk if you'd just like to have some quiet time. I bought a book in town and I'll be happy to sit beside you and read."

Savah is waiting for Thanara outside of the door to her room. Sitting on the floor, she waits for the sorceress to return to her room. When she sees her approaching, she takes her feet and says "I know you've been looking forward to a break in town. You haven't invited me to your bed, so I will get my own room for the night if you wish."

Extending her hand, Savah holds out a braided leather cord with a circular metallic medallion made of some polished metal danging from the end of it. Etched into the medallion is a stormcloud with a bolt blasting from its center.

"I know you lost a piece of yourself when your father snatched away your mother's jewelry before you left. I am not trying to replace it, but I figured since you are reborn then perhaps I could make something for the new you."

She hands over the medallion and kisses Thanara on the cheek. "I'll be thinking of you you. I miss you."

"If we are speaking plainly, yes, I'd rather go back to Sandpoint. But I know how much Ameiko means to you and I know you'll follow her. So I'll follow you." she offers with a weak smile.

Savah waits patiently for Thanara to return to their wagon. She reaches for her hand to intertwine with hers and asks "Ready to go?"

Nodding, Savah stands and extends a hand as she helps Thanara to her feet. "Yes, of course. That is a good idea. You two should go spend some time together, hmmm? That is bound to make you feel better, I think."

She walks slowly with Thanara back to camp, not pushing or trying to intrude on Thanara as she helps calm the woman's nerves.

Savah nods "I'm just happy to have you back at the caravan. If I had to put up with another few hours of these idiotic brothers and their far-fetched sexual escape stories, I was going to lose my mind and drown myself in the river."

After her comment, she puts her arm around Thanara's waist and runs her hand gently up and down her back and humms quietly to herself.

Sevah does an amazing job of keeping a straight face through it all, not showing disbelief at things such as Shalelu being a dragon, running into Olaff's old lover and him having a child.

"I see..." she says calmly, inserting some silence between her reply. "It all sounds extremely complicated and unnerving, I can understand why this is so difficult."

She looks over at Thanara and asks "How can I help?"

Savah makes here way towards the water and sits down next to Thanara, but doesn't touch her. "Talk to me. Tell me what's going on, I just want to listen is all. If you'd rather, we can just sit in here silence and look at the water. It looks peaceful and relaxing."

She folds her arms in her lap, looking out at the cool water.

After dinner, Savah follows Thanara to the stream. She doesn't do so at first, giving her some time to be alone. When she does approach, she calls off from the distance. "Thanara? Is it okay if I join you? I'll leave if you wish to be alone."

Savah sees the exchange and pushes past Relisha, perhaps her shoulder bumping the tiefling a little more than necessary before she swoops in and puts her hands around Thanara and looking at her in the eyes before closing in for an embrace. ”You’re okay! You didn’t come home last night! I was so-“ she chokes up and begins sobbing on Thanara’s shoulder, squeezing her tightly.

Savah puts on a pouty face when Olaff speaks angrily towards her. "Olaff. Dear. Calm yourself. Why would you speak with such intensity towards me? Bevelek most certainly was the one who initiated it, I just happened to be nearby out of pure coincidence is all. I do know you better than you think. I may not speak as much, but I do have eyes and ears and listen. If it makes you feel any better, I'll stay behind tomorrow and keep an eye on him and make sure he's okay."

"Oh. And I care for both of you. I do not like the tone you are taking with me now though, please calm your emotions before you wake everyone up all over again. Get some rest, you'll feel better in the morning."

Savah doesn't understand Thanara's reaction. "You were upset and I wanted to help. You don't have to fight a fight alone, that's why Olaff and I are here to help you. We're in this thing together Thanara. Let us help you."

Savah looks to Thanara and Olaff. "I approached Bevelek to see if he wanted some comfort this evening. I've heard he has been making comments about the whorish activity in this camp by Thanara and I, so assuredly he wouldn't mind a piece of the action."

"Being a big and strong guy, I thought he liked it a little rough.
Well as it turns out, he is all talk with nothing to follow through with. He couldn't keep up with me and when he got a little tired I think he may have bent the wrong way."

Savah shrugs. "It's not my fault that he can't keep up with me. Either way, I think he won't be opening his mouth to ask for some warmth again. And if he calls us whores again Olaff, I expect you to cut his dick off and shove it in his mouth." she leans forward and pecks both Olaff and Thanara on the cheek. "Good night."

Savah returns to the wagon to find Thanara climbing out to see what the commotion is. She gently pulls her back inside and says "Come now, everything is fine. Your healer friend will take care of it. I don't think Bevelek is going to want to talk about you anymore though."

Ameiko nods, the consensus being that they should wait until morning.

Thanara prepares dinner for the group and the caravan establishes one last night together before splitting in the morning. Later that night when people are beginning to bed down, Savah kisses Thanara's forehead and says "I'll be back later."

Thirty minutes later a man screams loudly in pain. Shouting erupts and people immediately throw off their blankets and unpack camp. Shalelu was on watch and comes running back to the wagon in the rear where Bevelek sleeps, unsure what has happened.

Bevelek emerges from the wagon holding his crotch, crying pain and barely able to walk it. "SHE BROKE IT!! OH MY F~!+ING GOD, SHE BROKE IT!" he rolls on the ground, crying in pain and rolling around.

Savah emerges from the wagon, half dressed. She sheepishly says "I'm sorry. I thought big boys liked it rough? I hope it heals okay, you know, sleeping with a whore and all."

She grabs her shirt and heads back to her wagon without a word further, leaving the brother on the ground screaming in pain. As she pains Relisha she taps her on the shoulder, "He might need you. I suggest you let him suffer the rest of the night though. He's been a bad boy."

Savah coughs and says weakly "I'm." she coughs blood, spitting some on Thanara's face by accident. "Fine. Just get me to the wagon."

Savah is conscious but looks the worst of all of the injured parties. She tries to talk, but blood just coughs out of her mouth. After two more tries she says "I'm. Fine. Get us. Out. Of here."

She reaches out for Thanara's hand, coughing out more blood.

Savah looks across the dark room at Thanara, a flash of disappointment starting to show on her face. "Thanara..." she trails off.

Note: Remainder of scene moved off camera.

Savah is taken aback by this newfound confidence the sorceress suddenly seems to possess. She shakes her head no. "It doesn't work that way.
This isn't you talking, this is Olaff. Don't let him fill your head with nonsense Thanara. You need to trust me that I'm taking care of you. I always have, I always will."

She starts walking towards Thanara, slowly. "You don't get to change the rules. Not now. Not ever. I know what's best for you and you are not to question me, is that understood?"

She keeps walking until she is about a foot away from her and she finally stops, pointing at the floor. "Take them all off, now. This is the last time I'll ask nicely. You don't want to upset me, do you?"

Clearly Savah didn't hear her correctly. She blinks three times before she asks "No? I did not stutter, did I? Change now before I change you myself."

After finishing some business at the local smith, Savah heads back towards the inn when she catches sight of Thanara. After several peeks of provocative attire, Savah dutifully follows, swagger evident in her step.

When she enters the room and finds Thanara standing opposite her with the wrong type of clothes on, she looks at her with confusion. Walking in, she shuts the door behind her and says "Thanara, what are you playing at? Did you come in here and put on clothes? I was interested in the other attire that had I've been following for the last ten minutes."

Savah slowly starts towards Thanara and commands "Change. Now."

Savah doesn't answer the question, but stops walking and just stares at Thanara until she finally relents and looks up at her. Once she does, Savah smirks and says "You don't really want me to answer that. Besides, you know deep down inside you crave for it. I recognize you fight against it outwardly, but it's what you need."

Savah either growls or purrs at Thanara's clothing demonstration, it's difficult to tell. She pouts when Thanara closes it so quickly, but she doesn't push the issue out here. She points to Thanara and says "I want it. Later."

When she mentions Olaff doesn't like it she comments "Well then he better get used to it. I want you to give it to him twice as hard then."

She laughs to herself, a devious grin on her face. "Come. Let's get to bed. We have a long night ahead of us."

"Oh, I'm very interested in this idea. Is this a surprise? I can look elsewhere while you look. Otherwise, I'd love to find something ... revealing. Laces. Straps. Black." she remarks, describing what she's interested in.

Later, Savah pats Thanara's rear end and remarks I only have you to keep me warm at night. I don't have this magical protection that you have."

Over the course of the next thirty minutes the two work on picking up some heavy blankets and coats in case the weather turns colder as they continue north.

Savah walks with Thanara and compliments Thanara's food. "Are you kidding me? It seems to be getting much each and every day. I'm thoroughly enjoying eat everything you put your hands on, my dear."

As they enter the shop, she asks "What are we searching for? Do you think it'll be colder in Brinewall? Should we get a coat?"

Savah nods "And from what it sounds, likely our last for quite some time."

"Let's go. I'm famished."

She starts forward and then beckons for both Olaff and Thanara to come to her. Once they both walk up, she walks between them up towards the inn. She cups his buttocks in her left hand and wraps her right around Thanara's neck. Striding between the two she struts down the street like a queen, completely in control of everything.

As she passes Relisha she looks back at her over her shoulder and blows her a kiss with a wink.

Olaff finds Savah instead of Thanara. "She needs fine now Olaff. Best if you let her be for tonight."

Reaching out and placing a hand on the large Ulfen's arm she adds "Thank you for helping Thanara tonight. I was very scared earlier. I am very appreciated for you looking out for her."

She leans forward and places a kiss on his cheek. "And for protecting me."

Savah's smiles slowly fades over the course of several seconds, her eyes dancing with the reflection of the fire off in the distance. She stares at Relisha much longer than necessary before scoffing at her.

"We are. I have an elf to go talk to. Stay the f&&# away from Thanara. She doesn't need you, she has me." Savah says, marching off in search of Helvinious.

When Relisha's voice goes cold, Savah's matches it. In a clipped whisper she says "Look. Relisha, right? We haven't spent much time together yet. So let's set the ground rules, okay? You can call her your patient and then deal with the bump on her head or whatever it is you want to do there. I'm fine with that. You are a talented healer and that's why Sandru has given you a place in the caravan. So do your job and keep your opinions of other matters to yourself and to back off."

"I'm not sure if you heard, but she's with me, not you. So you can take your attitude and fantasies about what really happened here and keep them to yourself, okay? Don't pretend to know what happened when you were running away from the battle into the woods. I don't want to be enemies, I want to be friends with you, but you are positioning yourself between Than and myself and I can't stand for that."

Letting go of her arm she leans in and asks "Is that clear?

She smiles again and offers her hand to shake "Friends?"

Savah nodded to Thanara and kissed her gently on her head as she sits her head gently down and slides out from under her. ”I’ll be back in a moment.” she says with a warm smile. Turning to fave Relisha she says Let’s give her some time alone to rest.”.

Reaching out and taking the tieflings arm in her hands, she states without asking ”Let’s talk, you and I.” as she drops the smile and firmly leads Relisha away from Thanara.

Savah shoos Relisha away. "She needs her rest, not to have her head filled with some nonsense. She's fine, please come back later."

Savah places her fingers on Thanara's lips. "Shhhhh... I have you now. Close your eyes and rest, no one is going to bother you.
