"You'd be suprised how effective filling a creatures lungs with ice that was boiling water can be..."
hahaha! you are welcome to try, my friend
"You can be assured he will..."
ok, let us depart
Borgandiazo reaches into his pants and retrieves the enchanted map depicting the location of th Zhedal
!it is only five miles away!?!?!?!?
"DbJ takes wing, Kaelar creates his water board and takes off. Only Kiba waits for the monk.*
"You ready?"
"Look, are you certain we can't help, Wasp? This is gonna be pretty nasty, I think.
Sigh...fine."
yes we must leave now or else it shall arrive within the hour
*borgandiazo retrieves an enchanted artifact and reads the enchatment loudly*
hullabaloo and howdy doo, musty prawns and timbuktu, yeltsy bye and hibbity hoo, kick him in the dishpan hoo hoo hoo
a Roc appears and carries the monk on his back
would you like to ride my friend 'gubaaj?
"No thanks, I can grow my own wings.
*And indeed, Kiba's back begins to bulge, and wings explode out of his back. With a running start, he leaps into the air, flying swiftly on the direction of the creature.*
Kiba and Borgandiazo fly southeast in hopes of intercepting the Zhedal, looking down, Borgandiazo spots it, and it is much larger than he thought, around the size of three large orcs stacked on top of eachother
Irori's balls! that is enormous
Alaina wakes up after a long night of drinking and carousing. The weekend crowds are always such a handfull!
She rolls out of her satin covers, wincing from the headache. A quick Neutralize Poison brings her back into the land of the living. discarding the shirt she slept in on the floor, she pads into her bath for a long soak. Emerging refreshed she slips on a white bikini, gold shorts, a long white tee shirt and descends to the pool area to soak up a few rays. She sets up on the chaise longue row to the side of the pool, stripping down to the small bikini and rubbing suntan oil on her skin. After getting a large glass of lemonaide from Acme she lies down, opens a large book and begins reading.
The crowds had left, but LJ and Ash had barely noticed. They were still sitting and talking at the same table they had sat down at last night. After all, they had a lot to catch up on.
Alaina waves to Lynora-Jill and her blue-haired friend, then returns to her reading by the pool
Allura sees Devlyn dancing with another woman, and just manages to fight back the rising tide of jealousy she feels.
Devlyn has been keeping an eye on the crowd. As the current song ends, he notices Allura come down to the floor. He thanks El-Lina for the dance, then excuses himself:
"Thank you for the dance, but I just saw the person I needed to check up on, as she was feeling a bit ill earlier. Excuse me, please."
Goes over to Allura, looking concerned and relieved.
"I'm glad you're finally feeling better! Not to mention that that lady in red is a bit too...intense, for my tastes at least. Something doesn't quite add up..."
Devlyn steps closer to Allura, lowering his voice so only she hears it:
"Secrets tend to lead to bad things, Allura, at least in my experience. I prefer to barter in trust - so tell me what will earn yours, and I will try my best to do so. I'd rather not see that haunted look on your face again, if I can help it." She can tell that he is sincere in the offer, and is genuinely worried about both her and what is going on around them.
As the evening progresses, Alaina wanders to the bar area. The place is quiet tonight, and only a few groups of people are chatting in the bistro area. Alaina decides to just go casual, and pop over to the cabana to grab a skirt wrap. Wrapping it over her bikini, she wanders back and sits at the bar.
Allura reaches into her belt pouch and hands Devlyn a pearl. This will take you to the Oasis of Still Waters. We can speak openly there.

Devlyn holds onto Allura's hand for a moment as she gives him the pearl, then smiles warmly.
"Alright - I'll meet you there shortly. And thank you for trusting me."
Assuming that Allura isn't going with him right now, Devlyn will head up to his room quickly, get cleaned up, then activates the pearl.
Alaina wakes up and rolls out of her satin sheets, stretching and yawning. Last evening had been quiet, which had been a nice change for once. She pads to her closet, ditching her red negligee as she travels across the thick carpet pile.
Donning her typical bikini/shorts/mesh top combo, she slips her crosstrainers on and jogs down to the pool. Setting up for some yoga, she awaits her young protogees.
Sometime during the night exhaustion had finally gotten the best of Lynora-Jill. She sleeps soundly now, curled up in a deck chair. Ash had covered her with a beach towel as if it were a blanket.

"Morning, Alaina!" Devlyn calls out as he passes her on her way down to the pool.
It was important to keep in fighting trim even if, no scratch that, especially since her assignment was something of a party destination. Trust Lyn to end up with a nightclub as a base of operations. She shook her head a little. Her little sister got into the craziest situations. To be fair, mom was more than a little bit to blame for the current situation, but as usual Lyn came through. Ash often envied her little sister that emotional fortitude. No matter what happened, Lyn always bounced.
Enough heavy thought for now. She went back to her katas, stopping briefly to wave at the woman who had waved at Lyn last night. She still hadn't had a chance to meet her in person. Perhaps when she was finished with her exercises she would have a chance to introduce herself.
Err...I think I better excuse myself. I should check on that monk and his strange warnings.
JH hurries away, checking for any lingering scent of Brut.
El-Lina's eyes flash for a brief second, then she chuckles softly.
So Dalesman. It's just you and me.
Observes the goings-on with the monk, tries to catch Jack Hammer as he 'exits stage left'.
"Well, mi'lady, I did promise to check up on someone this evening, and it sounds like we may have a security issue that needs handling as well. But I also try not to turn down a lady's request for a dance, either, so..."
Devlyn will take El-Lina on the floor for a dance, but keeping an ear out for brewing trouble.

JH walks thru the pool area nursing a pretty big hangover. LJ's snores draw his attention, and increase the buzzsaw in his head.
Sleeping 'soundly'. Yeah.
Acme? Rosie? Can I get some breakfast and a pot of coffee? Thanks.
** spoiler omitted **
Hmmm - fascinating indeed...

As the Dalesman ditches El-Lina after one short dance and heads off to Allura he doesn't see her eyes flash with anger. Nor does he see her gaze settle on Allura for one brief moment before cooling.

Allure, looks around and then steps out the door of the club, activating her pearl as she does.
After grabbing some fruit off a tray on the way to his room and cleaning up, Devlyn holds the pearl in his hand and activates it...
Ashaundra finishes her kata and walks up to Jack Hammer.
Hi! You must be Jack Hammer. I've heard a lot about you. Well, that's kind of an understatement. I mean, sheesh, it's like every other sentence. I'm Ashaundra, Lyn's sister. Well, technically half-sister.
Acme? Rosie? Can I get some breakfast and a pot of coffee? Thanks.
*BEEP*
Right away Mr. Hammer!
Zips back with a pot of Jamaican Blue, some fhorge bacon, several scrambled eggs and a Yeomanry muffin with a pot of marmalade jam.
There's some fresh-churned butter on the tables sir, anything else just yell!
Acme resumes polishing the brass fixtures at the bar.
Ashaundra finishes her kata and walks up to Jack Hammer.

Hello Ashaundra. Pleased to meet you. I can see that good looks run in the family, half-sister or not.
Would you like to have some breakfast while your sister tries to deafen us with her snoring?
I didn't want to interrupt your reunion yesterday. You two seemed to have a lot to catch up on.
She's rather stressed about her/your mother's upcoming visit. On top of all the 'activity' around here lately.

She did say you were a charmer, Ash says with a laugh. I would love some breakfast. One of the most annoying things about my sister is her ability to go without food and never notice. She's so good at channeling divine energy that she just sort of uses it for food.
She is pretty stressed. Mom's always been hard on her. And after what happened...Keep an eye out while she's here 'kay. There's been some...rumors. Nothing substantial, but I have a bad feeling about this. Mom has been just a little off since she got involved with the whole binding the goddess thing.

Here or anywhere I shall do my best to protect her. Of course convincing her to stay out of the way of the enemy's reach is a different matter altogether. She doesn't hesitate much when a friend is hurt.
JH remembers the battle with the Defectives all too well.
One of her finer qualities, but one that gives me heartburn.
Of course one of your warsmiths helped her a bit with that recently.

Wait, what? Are we talking about the same person? Little, afraid of everything, does nothing but hesitate Lynora? Deliberately putting herself in danger? Wow, she had changed since I saw her last.
Ash looks thoughtfully at her sleeping sister.I noticed the bracers. That warsmith does good work. Hopefully it will be enough.

If they are half as tough as the steel within her they'll be enough. If not I just hope I'm able to stand in front of the attack.
Err...enough serious talk, What do celestials do for fun?

Laughs.Well, I think that depends on the celestial. Personally, I like sports. Up for a game of volleyball? I warn you, I'm not going to take it easy on you just because you're mortal. *wink*

I think you get the height advantage. I'm kinda stuck on the ground. Sometimes literally.
Ash leads the way to the volleyball court. It's a lively game. She's obviously very athletic and for the most part tries to play without taking advantage of her wings. Once in a while she forgets not to fly in her enthusiasm for the game, but she always apologizes afterward.
Angel walks in with a wary look on her face. Seeing JH, she rushes to his side. "Hammer, thank the gods I found you," she says. She seems different, older somehow, and battlescarred. "I bring a warning. Lynora will soon be betrayed by someone close to her. Be on your guard."
JH begins scripting a mental kill list. First the family, then friends, then anyone sunbathing near her, then himself to be sure. He thens starts putting names in the little boxes.
Darn cryptic warnings. This girl makes enemies faster than a shadowdancer can make your head spin.
El-Lina enters the Club via the omniportal. She's wearing a red designer bikini that leaves little to the imagination. Halfway to the pool she removes her top, then begins to look for a spot to catch the last good sun of the day.

Lynora-Jill wakes up slowly. The sun feels good. She rubs her eyes. Is she still at the club? Oh no! She sits up with a gasp. Her mother is coming and she hasn't done anything to get ready. So much for getting some more demure clothing and cleaning up the clubhouse. She'd be lucky if she managed to get in a shower and put on some clean clothes before mother arrived. If she wasn't already at the clubhouse waiting for her to get back. She felt kinda sick to her stomach at the thought. She stood up and headed for the omniportal.
Jack Hammer! Hi. Oh, I see you met Ash. Hi, Angel. What happened? You look different?
Oh, I really need to head back to the clubhouse for a bit. I could really use a change of clothes. Hopefully I'll be back in a few minutes.
El-Lina enters the Club via the omniportal. She's wearing a red designer bikini that leaves little to the imagination. Halfway to the pool she removes her top, then begins to look for a spot to catch the last good sun of the day.
Man, now I have to start my list all over.
Warforged Jack arrives at the Club. As soon as he spots Ashaundra he beats a hasty retreat.
Safer drinking alone tonight.
Suddenly, a vine shoots up. It is clutching a noter, which is delivered at the feet of Alaina . It reads:
"Come. Lynora's mother has recently left, and left Lynora in a terrible state. She needs your support.
