It is with some regret that I must inform you my fellow gamers.
So as of today I will no longer be participating in any posting on this site and others like it. It was fun and think you for that. All the best with your games Your Cap Wombat.
Sphene nods, then sees with blind sight Adrian move ahead and out of range. She flaps up to a tree with a view so she can keep a look out for his light signals.
Sphene looked back at her fellows, Kane had a nostalgic look on his face, Jazzai was lost in her own thoughts and Adrian pensive, to be expected he had just been asked to place himself in possible danger for them. Shene kept her thoughts to herself, she just looked back to the keep and trees. Her new Draconic face hard to read. "When ever you ready Adrian, I will be right behind you"
Looks at the fallen keep, [b]"Adrian you have the gift of going unseen, think you can have a peak and see if any thing nasty waiting in there, fast fly around May help, then go ahead as we move p to it?"[b]
Sphene nods and spits the bits out from her teeth, going back she picks up her things and go's into the air once more.
Looks at Jazzia,
Sorry guys I'm flying to Japan tomorrow and want be able to post I think for a week wile there, please, GM please BOT my PC until I'm back
looks around for any stones once she can carry and drop.
Flys down to the dry clump of ground. "Over here"
"Thank you Jazzai, we will find more soon, " She eats hungrily then picks up what she can carry then sets off after the others.
Shene not having clothing or any kind of normal humanoid body parts takes nothing other than what she needs to carry, Water skin and food in her front forfeet. "I think if we head to the wetland where the building was we can forage some more. I'm feeling hungry again. Then if you happy head into the old building to see what we can find." As she can't walk and carry at the same time she flys along with the walking group. Gliding to save energy.
"Ill go get what we left, should not take me long, Adrien, would you like to help" The little gold takes off into the air heading to get the things they left.
Sphene looks on as Peacock talks and becomes Adrien, telling part of his life story. "For myself of couse I can Adrien, and I will do my best to aid you as you wish" The small gold Dragon says to her friend.
Sphene seemed to be cold and distant about the missing prisoners. After the others have eaten, and Peacock speaks up, she sits down "Was you wish Peacock" She waits for him to start.
Sphene nods "yes Peacock, we should, they need to eat as well, lets get whar we found to them" She takes what she can in her mouth and waits for Peacock before flying back. [occ]If nothing stops them[/ooc] She lands and drops the food they found next to Jazzai, as Kane works. "We found food an old building, Peacock knows more" She looks over to the young fay to tell them what she found.
Keeps still and alert, waiting,she has again the look of a predictor on her Draconic features.
Nods then Stops and looks on as Peacock moves ahead unseen.
Sphene was putting her finds in one place. She looks up as Peacock tells her about his find. This place had reminded her of her childhood and the wetlands she had grown up in. "There could be more tethers, let's go have a look, if we find something we can go get the others. Peacock would you like to mark yourself unseen wile we go have a look Peacock."
Seeing Peacock come back empty handed Sphene says. "Let me go with you Peacock wile Jazzia and Kane talk to the two here.
She flys up into the air, to see what she can kind for him to shoot.
What ever Sphene is thinking she keeps to herself as Sir Kane tells her of his knights code. Still unmoved in her whatching say says simply. "I understand Sir Kane."
Sphene eyes do not leave it, but with one clawed for hand she slowly closes the box on the two evil brains in Jars. The small Dragons predatory stir dos not waver for an instant. "I can think of nothing more to ask" She says slowly "Once every one is done with them, may I ask respectfully that we express our views on what we do next, so that we must all agree on and be equity responsible for it. My view is that Sir Kane pass Judgment on them. I do not see how I myself can help the body's and minds used by the dark things. I feel we can't let them go to do more harm, and the idea of experimenting on them is not one I like to think about. But we keep the box and the two in it, this may be of great use. I just wanted to let you know my thinking on this" Again her eyes level leave the two subjects.
Sphene then seems to take note, what ever she was thinking put away for now.
Stops for an instant than carries on with a less demanding even respectful and polite voice. "Jazzai, please if you have the time, could you ask it quickly about the box, did the ones who gave them the boxe have more, and how many?" She flys down to land next to the box, but looks that the thing tied up with the predatory stair of a dragon.
Last post spell checked:
As Kane started talking, her temper had risen more chartering, getting in the way of knowing things. Why could these three not realize she was right, why did they not just do as she said, why did they not know, could they not see!! Cold anger, that now she had made up her mind to fight this evil, they were just being... Then Kane said something that it hit her like a hammer in the forehead. "Dragons are prone to a sense of superiority" The words shocked her, to her very core, truth was spoken,
The rest of the talking passed her by, she heard none of it in her shock. Truth what he had said was true and she knew it, she was not normally like this, no so, so demanding, not so driven by, by pride. A séance of superiority he had said. She had not rite to feel superior to anyone, she was a waif, a kid from the streets, poor and alone. She had done nothing other than do what as needed. But from the moment she had waken from the egg she had been like she this, she felt it now, a deep feeling of superiority, this was not her, this was from another, from her new form. She has not only lost her body she had lost part of herself, the dragon had taken that. That thought held her She had not moved, the others had stopped talking. Peacock had said something; even he was looking at her new. "You speak truth Kane, there is a pride in me that was not with me before, I think this body has done more than I released to me." She says this without anger or upset, being honest with herself.
Sphene said nothing, she sat upright on the rock her head looking off into the distance sky. She was lost in her own thoughts. Her Dragons face inscrutable, her body still. What ever she was thinking it held her still and silent.
I agree, Things are definitely getting interesting, and its cool to have a game where three string willed PCs interact, She fully understands Kane, she's a city girl and knows Paladin she kind of knows what to expect with him. Jazzai shes at a loss with the strong willed Blind teen, who seems to be like the things they are seeking to stop. Shes at mistrust and worry 50/50 right now. For Peacook I can see how the dynamic of three strong wills like Kane, Jazzai and Sphene would bring out in him a deeper self, I really can, the group acting as a catalyst for his change. It is true that Sphene has had a change of heart, she picked a side, for the 1st time in her life. But under that is a street wise city girl who's been used to being on here own and looking after herself. She deeply mistrusting and as never really lived in a family or group. But Kane just added a great new level, and one I hope will let her tuned down to fit a new group Dynamic. The Dragon side, IS demanding and acts over bearing. A superior feeling that is at odds with her human self. I love the idea of that inner conflict, Thanks Kane.
hehe all great RP stuff. and she will be less Dragon have no worrys
Kane has started talking she had risen in temper more chartering, getting of the way of knowing thing. Why could these three not realize she was right, they should do as she said, did they not know who she was right, could they not see!! cold anger that now she had made up her mind to fight this evil my must do as she says. Then Kane said something that it hit her like a hammer in the forehead. "Dragons are prone to a sense of superiority" The words shocked her to her very core, truth was spoken,
Truth, she was not normally like this, no so, so demanding not so driven by, by pride. A seance of superiority. She had not right to feel superior to any one, she was a waif, a kid from the streets, poor and alone. She had done nothing other than do what as needed. From the moment she had waken from the egg she had been like she was, she felt it now, a deep feeling of superiority, this was not her, this was from another, from her form. she has not only lost her body she had lost part of herself, the dragon had taken that. She had not moved the others had stopped talking. Peacock had said something, even he was looking at her. "You speak truth Kane, there is a pride in me that was not with me before, I think this body has done more than I released to me." She says this with out anger or upset, being honest with herself. The feeling was still there in her, Pride and superiority but she could see feel it now, see it for what is was, The soul of a dragon, her soul now. A voice, whispered only to her said as caressing breath. "You learning again Sphene, a mother would be proud"
Sheen stops at peacocks call. She had a duty to protect him, he was you and .. Then Kane spoke, she stopped in her flight, landing a stone. She thought for a moment "Peacock don't worry I am not leaving you, I just needed to make them understand they need to be forth coming. This is not only about respect it's about being open with each other. I have hidden nothing, held nothing back, yet Kane and Jazzai are, now matter what they hid that behind, they are. Now we face a great danger, yet they put pride before logic, there needs before the needs of others in that matter of sharing what we know. " "Kane, your right you did indeed offer up gold your to fight the darkness the darkness when I asked, gold I used it to fight and banish the spike, 30 coins in fact Kane, 30 coins I will pay back, I pay my debts. But do you know agree what was done was worth 30 gold. Now you say you and you alone will reside other things, you and you alone, wile you have yet to share as I have. Both of you holding back and hiding, I see no respect in that action. Here and now is where we define trust, you share with us now, if not then you both, you and Jazzai have things your hiding. Just what kind of knight are you, that worrys about gold and keeps secretes from those they seek to make friends, you are seeking use as friends! we are trying to fight the same thing yes."
He's words came like cold rock. You don;t get to stay alive on the streets with out being suspicious. Now this man of rock was also being evasive. What dis she now of them, they had just shown up, In a business like voice, with out anger or malaise she states. "Is your memory so sort Kane, I was 'TOLD' to tell what I knew of the black spike, 'told' mind you. Yet there is no Quid pro Quo here. I hear only confiscation, from you and her. What would you have thought if I had said no. You would have mistrusted me. It is not I who is lacking trust here Kane but the pear of you. It is obvious to me know that the pear of you know a lot more about this than you are letting on. I showed you both trust and you gave none back. You two have said little or nothing about who you are, how you got here and what you know about this blackness. So I will make it simple, when your ready to talk frankly you call me down. I frankly at this point do not trust you both. You protect an infected one and she will not talk about what she is. From this point on you will have to earn my trust. I will say nothing more until I hear what you know, and on more confiscation" With one beat of her wings she flaps up into the high branches of the great tree, out of site. to the only one she dos trust here, The Dryad.
sir Kane : "Sir Kane I am sorry, but I have to ask and you don't have to answer now. You knew Jazzai before we meet, did she ever... act in a way that seemed odd to you, in a way like the things here?
Sphene looked on as the blind child as her templet flared, there was real anger there just under the surface. Like the bland anger and lust in the two captives. Was she the same? was she looking at three infected here, or just an angry young girl who's held rage at what fate had done to her. She needed to calm this child down, at make her understand the possible danger she could be in, In a motherly caring voice she said to Jazzai "Jazzai Im not trying to hurt you, I'm trying to help you. It just called you 'a Defective collector' you not us, it's sees you have no eyes, that's what it means by defective, the same but not whole. I don't feel I am making any assumptions here at all. What it just said, The fact you see some of use as 'pray" but not them, what the Dryad said and what we can see with our own eyes Jazzia. The anger your showing now, and blind intent on ignoring all that, hiding from it as if.. Her voice gos soft again, " as if being compelled to." If only she could make this girl child see the danger she may be in.
"Look your going to have to give us answers, do you understand, you and the thing in you, I'm willing to wait until your done to talk about this, but talk we must. Carry on with your 'interrogation' but if we find the thing in you is trying to communicate to them or take you over, we must and will have to step in for your own safety. Jazzai, Do you understand. For your own safety." She looked once more at the things in the box, then at the two captives. hells if she has something like that in her! gods help her "You may not even know you are being used by it Jazzia, that's what I'm saying" She looks hard at the girl child, trying to see the thing in her, then she moves back a short way next to Kane and let's the girl carry on her talking to the captives., There was another here who had spent time with her maybe he could help, the danger her was real. An assistant she had called herself, well let's see what the assisted know that may help her. After a moment she whispers to Kane.
the clues I went back and read the whole campaign, ever thing is there, that was seen of spoken of in front of Sphene, Also Sphene has said nothing of a feeding, only Hunger as seen in the two and talked about in the to. Jazzai talked of prey, she has fangs now seen like them, They have been blinking at her, and Jazzai talked about meeting the others what was done to her in part and being moved away with the Dryad wile very one was there. Im sorry but the clues and info is there. Now the items the GM has let us find, the clues he dropped about the beings, there talking how they act, act to Jazzai and how she acts to them. I don't think its any great leap at all sorry.
"I apologizes for my bad pronunciation, Jaazzai" She works hard to get it right. "As of a few days ago I had a human mouth, I am still not used to using a Dragons mouth, its longer and the teeth." "I understand your anger, they came to see you, you said that, they did something to you did they, no one likes to be used, to be defiled like you have been if they did." She looks as at the blind girl as she seem to be shaking her head in denial of her her words "Jazzai your blind, you can't see what we see, the way they act and move, the things in the box and the eyes. We can see them, see you. Your teeth. The taint I was taking about was the one the Dryad could see, when she touched your fangs. The darkness she said was in you as well. They look at you trying to talk to the thing in you, we can see that. They are doing it even now. The way they don't see you as they see us. All that is before our eyes, Jazzai. You talked of a hunger in you, one you where fighting. Tell us of that, Jazzai tell of yourself. We need to know as much as we can if we are to work out what is going on here."
she looked closer at the two things in the case. "It's the eyes Jazzria, the eyes. I think I understand now. You can't see it but they are blinking at you, like they did before we stopped them, they talk with their eyes, by means of blinks. I think they are answering your questions, you just can't see the answers, and they see whats in you, the taint, the hunger, the thing you where hidden with. The Dryad could see it. You fangs Jazzai, just like theirs." She comes over to Jazzria
"Jazzai In the box are two large glass vials, Inside them is a mass of writhing black tendrils, like the spike, each connected to two red, alien eyes linked to a pulsing sac. That's the parasite, a body, some kind of vine like thing to control the hosts body and the eyes to talk and see with, once in they must grow the fangs. The mind must be linked to the eyes. It's why you are like them but not like them, why a part of one was put in you Jazzai. The Hunger, the fangs, the taint, why do don't see them a pray and why they see you as one of them. You have part of such a parasites in you, but not full mind, because who ever did his cut parts off like the eyes." Then after they talk just. She looks at Jazzai, . "Yours is not whole, its why now they see you as Defective, not whole. Yet a a Collector like them, a better word would be 'Infecter' ones who bit, capture and then infect others with the parasite. The masters must have control over the infected. But you have control for now, like them but not like them, I worry what will happen to you should a Master come close. Or you will files and you become fully infected, driven by them by hunger to infect more. Being of power like, the Dryad, and my godling need to be taken over in a more powerful way. The Spikes and draining their there powers." You can see her working all this out, such is the mind of even a young Dragon. Its as if other voices are talking throw her, Its slightly odd. "Jazzai, I think right now I think they have not been trying to talk to you but talk to it, But it can't see them, it can't talk to them. It has no eyes." She looks back to the two, "The Black parasite can be harmed, if it could be cut away with out killing the host. I just don't know. But you seem to be well and alive.
she lets all that sink in.
cool cant wait :)
Ears pricked, but says nothing, I thought had come to her, she looked closer at the two things in the case. "It's the eyes Jazzria, the eyes. I think I understand now. You can't see it but they are blinking at you, like they did before we stopped them, they talk with their eyes, by means of blinks. I think they are answering your questions, you just can't see the answers." She comes over to Jazzria
"In the box are two large glass vials, Inside them is a mass of writhing black tendrils, like the spike, each connected to two red, alien eyes linked to a pulsing sac. That's the parasite, a body, some kind of vine like thing to control the body and eyes, The mind must be linked to the eyes. It's why you are like them but not like them, You have part of such a parasites in you, but not full mind, because who ever did his cut parts off like the eyes." She looks at Zarria,
She looks back to the two, "The Black parasite can be harmed, if it could be cut away with out killing the host. I just don't know. But you seem to be well and alive.
she lets all that sink in.
Sphene comes over as she sees Kane open the box, She looks down at the items. "Parasites, I was in a city once an they said don't go down unto the under city, things lived down there, things that, took you over, used your body, flying things but this, never heard of any thing like this. We need to get this to someone who can find a way to remove or kill them, gods this is dark magics"
Nice, all ready playing once but will be cool to have a full play test :)
Ooo nice I will as well
She lowers her head and shakes it, "I don't see anything left in that body of its host, only malevolent evil looking out. Lost soul I will find who did this believe me." She moves away from the thing. "Sir Kane, I think your jugment will be needed soon" She gos back to the spot she was sitting on but this time looks out over the stones.
The Dreams of a Dragon:
She was looking our over a hill range, she knew this, by her side was a great form. She looked up at it, there next to her little body was a vast Golden Dragon. Its head the side of a house, tuned and looked down at her. Its voice spoke into her head. ::"little Sphene, the dryad you saved as allowed me this time to talk with you. I am your mother yet not your mother. I am the one who's egg you gained new life from. It is nice to meet you at last. She told me you where a brave one, taking on such evil alone, and now with others, in the wilds and only a day old. I mother even one who is not your true mother, would feel pride.":: "You where the one that gave the temple the egg? the one she spoke of" ::"Yes, I was, it was a gift, for help I once needed. Such is the way with our kind. But I would ask a thing of you Little Sphene":: Sphene felt like a child again, with the old lady, nan all she could no was node at such a from. ::"I would like you to think of me as your mother, I have seen your mind, I know you never new your real mother, So I would like you to think of me as your Second mother. It would please be greatly for you to think of me as such.":: Again all Sphene could do was node, the feelings in her heart, complex, conflicting. She has learned to stand alone, leaned to be strong with no one to help. She needed no one, that had been her way from the death of nan. Now here she was like Child again, small helpless in the face of... she gained her voice. "I am no child, I have lived, I lived before this" :;"Yes you did and you must never ever forget that, that life made you who you are now. Stronger then you can possibly imagine, with a anger at all things wiked and evil. I see it in you Sphene at the center of your very soul. If you did not have that, the body you have now would reject you. You hid it from yourself, you feel you had to but its there,
Sphene could feel it Then as if a freash echo, Sir Kane's words sounded around Sphene. "Of course you are free to do as you will. Just as we all are. Just keep in mind that freedoms come with responsibilities. We don't get to put our personal liberty above the safety or welfare of others." The words had been in her mind from the moment they had been spoken.
::"You know in yourself, this is true, look back at the times in your life you have stood up and protected others. getting food for nan, looking after the young children in the gangs, the girls sold because they flesh was new. A temple statue because evil was being done. A young boy fay lost in his life, A wood full of darkness, you have been putting others in front of yourself all your life." she felt the truth of it crash down on her, into her, waking her.
"But I want my old body back, I want legs I want to be me again" ::"That will come in time, trust me Sphene that will come":: And the great dragon shifted, changed, shrank, then in front of Sphene was a radiantly beautiful woman, she looks late 40s she raised a hand and brushed Sphene human fact. With a shock Sphene realized she to was human once more. ::"Any mother would be...":; Then she started to fade. "No wait, I wanted to..." Sphene has waken with a start, she blinked, a dream, all a dream.
Sphene says with a kind but sad voice. "Hes asking for death to be set free form... A parasite. That would be the best way to think about this I feel. We could see the Dryad was being eaten, not just in body but also in power. This dark parasite lives by taking the soul and power of the host feeding on it until well we don't know yet. This is anit-life, necromancy, When I was at School, one of the teachers told us tales at night, to scare us. He liked to tell us about such dark things." She looked at the vile's and box. "The In-plants could be the teeth, once fitting their roots going deep into the body eat the subject from the inside out. Like your teeth Jazzia, If they are the same, Do you feel any thing in them, dark thing? If so dos it talk to you as it must talk the the poor souls here." She points to the bound form. "Think on that we may lean things if they do. Then she looks back at the form. "Just think what it must be like to be trapped screaming in a body you no longer control, seeing your loved ones fall at your hands, every thing you cherish broken and not one thing you can do about it. Must be hell in there for them." She pads over and looks at the being, looking past the body at the soul locked inside. Sphene is majestic and calm, the sunlight glints of her gold scales, here is a gold dragon, soul not true, and young but still, something the world knows to be good and kind. When she talks she dos so with deep compassion in her voice. The understanding that comes from someone who has lived with terrible pain and loss. "I am sorry, so sorry, if we can we will help, but if it is the freedom of death you seek tell us now soul inside the abomination" There is sadness in her eyes. Something has changed in Sphene, something deep, it could have been the Dryeds healing or the events of the last few days, or fighting the darkness, or the words of Sir Kane, But there is an aura about her an aura of good.
Sphene has come over as Jazzira works on the two,
Sphene wakes for he watch and is socked to find she fully healed. To the great tree she bows.
She seems some want hummbled by the act. She sits Iuntil sun rise letting the others have a full rest, then informs them it's time to get up.
Kane:
She used 30GP to desoluve away the dark spike and cords, all of it, she spat the gold back up on the two spike parts, so shes back at needing 500GP to grow and your down 30Gp [5+10+15] and she owes you.
Sphene "ZZzzzzz"
"well it seems peaceful now! I'm going to get some rest let me know if you need me." She gives what coin is left after, the blackness killing to Sir Kane, then go's over to the Dryads tree, flops down next to it and go's to sleep.
She comes to rest in the center of the stones
She lets her mind enter the moment, the other lives talk to her.
Was there something, any thing her dragon sences could pick up.
Stops and lisons to the Birds as Peacock says
Once all the blackness is gone, Sphene go's to the tree to see if the Dryad is talking. "We have removed the foulness now we seek to open the gate to the land from whence peacock came. We hope all we have done has aided you"
"Well that's about all I can do, any ideas" She asks the others as she comes over.
Nods at Jazzias words, then go's back to biting the Black cords off the Stones.
