Vin_Da_DM: Previously on Warriors of Destiny: Having been at Pegasus Station for almost a day the group went about normal business. While Alexei was bartering for food supplies Lilly decided to explore the station. Discovering the local bar she ran across Vincent, an apparent mercenary, and the two of them were summoned to the bar�s backroom to meet someone. This person turned out to be Gabriel Saturnes, commander of the station.
Vin_Da_DM: Joined by Eclipse, Lilly and Vincent heard Gabe�s request. He then gave Lilly a data-link in order for him to tell the entire group his plan. An item on it�s way to the station was stolen and Gabe offered payment for it�s return. A bonus was offered if the person responsible for the theft was killed. After they agreed Pegasus came under attack by Raisha�s warships.
Vin_Da_DM: Transporting aboard the Ettik, Cain stole Claron�s twins and Shaiya was discovered to be in league with RD. While the Ettik attempted to jump to safety the hyperspace gate was corrupted and sent the ship tumbling into hyperspace, lost.
Vin_Da_DM: $ Start
Claron continues to sob on Luna_Faline�s shoulder....
Luna_Faline yells, �Tabris, get your metal ass to Med Bay!!!� while holding Claron�s shaking shoulders.
Vin_Da_DM: Ettik�s com system crackles with static. All across the ship you can hear the groaning and tremors of Ettik as hyperspace tosses the ship around.
Tabris stumbles into the medical bay, bracing himself on the door as the ship sways, �I�m here, I�m here��
Luna_Faline motions Tabris over to take Claron.
Claron: �How am I going to tell him?��
Tabris: �Tell me what?� Tabris walks over to Claron and Luna, looking at them both questioningly.
Luna_Faline looks down at Claron then back at Tabris, �That bitch stole the twins!� I growl.
Claron looks up with tears streaming down her face, �The twins�THEY are gone!�
Vin_Da_DM: �Gone...that can�t be good.� Eclipse�s soft voice sounds from the hallway as the black cat hops up onto the counter and watches the three.
Tabris: �What?! Sonuva goddamn whore...I�ll kill her!� Tabris pounds a fist on the exam table�s side.
Claron: �I...couldn�t...stop him�� manages to get out as she continues to cry.
Tabris: �Him? Who?� Tabris looks at Claron as he holds her hand.
Luna_Faline: �Raisha�s metal man, Cain, beamed on board somehow and took them to her. She said Daegriss had plans for them.�
Vin_Da_DM: �I was afraid this would happen�� Eclipse shakes his head and sighs, �I�m afraid getting them back is out the question while we�re stuck in hyperspace.�
Claron: �Cain!!! RD�s bodyguard! It wasn�t me that they wanted all along. It was our BABIES!� shakes her head.
Luna_Faline turns to look at Tewyn passed out on the floor, shaking my head.
Tabris clenches a fist and looks at Claron. �We�ll get them back. I�ll do whatever I can to get them back, I swear.�
Claron looks over at Tabris, Eclipse and Luna_Faline, �B--but they need me...us.��
Luna_Faline turns to Eclipse, �We need to get out of this damn space bubble, before we end up in a black hole or worse.�
Claron: �I just want Stryder and Clarissa back with us...safe and sound�� buries her face in her hands and cries some more...
Vin_Da_DM: �I agree...I will go to the pilot and ask him what we�re going to do.� Eclipse looks at Luna and then hops off the counter and disappears into the hallway.
Tabris: Putting an arm around Claron, Tabris tries to comfort her.
Claron: �Forgive me, I failed to protect them!� sobs some more in Tabris� arms.
Tewyn starts to grumble and sits up rubbing his head
Tabris: �You didn�t fail...I wasn�t here. If anyone deserves blame, it�s me.� Tabris hugs Claron tightly as his gaze wanders towards Tewyn for a moment.
Luna_Faline runs a paw down Claron�s head smoothing her hair. �I doubt there was much you could�ve done to stop this, Claron. It was not your fault.� purring softly.
Claron notices Tewyn is still on the floor of Med Bay. �Don�t tell me that something bad has happened to Tewyn, too!�
Tewyn stands up. �Nope, I�m fine.�
Luna_Faline looks over at Tewyn and tells Claron, �All we needed was another French maid�s costume.�
Tewyn walks to the door��What�s with the pity party?�
Vin_Da_DM: As Eclipse walks off the lift into the bridge the ship rocks again, this time stronger than before, �It�s getting bad out there, Alexei.�
Claron sobs lessen, �French maid outfit?�
Luna_Faline: Watching Tewyn I growl, �The twins have been stolen.�
Claron just looks at Tewyn with her tear stained face.
Tewyn shrugs��Too bad�� walks out back toward his room.
Vin_Da_DM: �Ettik and I have no idea where this damnable hyperspace route is taking us!� Alexei plants his fist into the holographic controls..
Claron: �Not to mention we are stuck in hyperspace, with no chance at all of going to find them!� blurts out.
Tabris: �Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bottle�� Tabris shakes his head then looks back at Luna and Claron.
Claron shakes her head��I will never understand what Clarice saw in him!�
Vin_Da_DM: Across the ship Ettik�s internal lighting dims as another tremor shakes the ship.
Claron: �There has to be something...we can do...or....maybe your Goddess?...� eyeing Luna_Faline.
Luna_Faline turns back to Claron and Tabris as Tewyn leaves. �He was a much different man before Clarice betrayed us and went back to your father.�
Luna_Faline: �And I believe that Shaiya has been messing with his head as well,� I grumble.
Tabris: �That damn bitch was messing with everyone�s heads!� Tabris eyes Cain�s knife in the counter and pulls it out.
Tewyn gets to his room and lays back on his bed. �You sure know how to draw �em elf.�
Claron nods her head at Luna, �I should try to remember he has suffered a great loss, one that he just learned, too.�
Vin_Da_DM: From the windows in Tewyn�s room he can see the blazing red of hyperspace is peeling away thin layers of Ettik�s hull.
Tewyn looks out, �Bet that hurts.�
Luna_Faline nods, �I will see if she will hear my petition,� sighing I turn to leave the med bay. �Take care of her, Tabris.�
Tabris: �I will�� Pocketing the knife Tabris turns his attention to Claron, �I�m not leaving you alone again��
Claron: �I want that knife, Tabris...HE held that to my throat...and I swear if its the last thing I do...it will be returned to him in the neck of Raisha!�
Tabris: Shrugging quietly Tabris pulls the knife back out and hands it to Claron, handle first.
Luna_Faline: Entering my room, I kneel and take hold of my amulet, �O�Goddess, will you hear me? We need your help and guidance at this darkest of moments. Please, send us some help. We can�t let Daegriss have the twins,� I sob.
Claron takes the knife from Tabris with a trembling hand.
Vin_Da_DM: �This is no good...we�re going to lose the outer hull in a matter of minutes at this rate.� Alexei begins to pour over systems information while watching the hull peeling off.
Vin_Da_DM: �He won�t...Shaiya will keep them in her custody for as long as she can.� Eclipse�s voice sounds from nowhere as he steps out of Luna�s shadow cast on the wall. �Controlling the two of them makes her powerful, and she likes that.�
Claron kisses Tabris� cheek, then hugs him. �What was so urgent that all had to assemble in the cafeteria?�
Luna_Faline looks at Eclipse, �That is not much comfort for a grieving mother,� I sigh. �What about hyperspace? How much can this ship take?�
Tabris: �Seems that an old friend of ours, Gabe, owned that station back there. He wanted us to find something that got stolen from him.� Tabris looks at Claron with the knife, �Was going to pay us well. But I don�t think we can do that either right now.�
Claron: �Gabe? He is here?!�
Luna_Faline worries at the amulet around my neck. �How are we going to get out of this?� wondering.
Vin_Da_DM: �I�m not sure...not much more. We�ll have to forcibly exit hyperspace.� Eclipse walks across the room then turns to look outside with a visible cringe, �Hopefully that will not hurt the ship beyond repair.�
Claron: �What do you mean�we can�t do that either? What am I not being told?�
Tabris: �Well...can�t rescue the kids or work for Gabe while we�re stuck in the twilight zone.� Tabris sighs and leans on the edge of the table.
Luna_Faline looks at Eclipse, �What will happen to Gabe and the rest of the station?�
Vin_Da_DM: �I presume they only attacked to get the children. Your friend and the station should be fine.� Eclipse sighs then looks at Luna. �Come with me. Alexei will know how to get us out of here.�
Claron feels her temper wanting to rear its ugly lil head. �STUCK!!!! Then someone best be un-sticking it!!�
Luna_Faline regains my feet and follows Eclipse to the bridge.
Tabris: �I�m sure Alexei�s trying his best...do you want to go with me and see?� Tabris looks at Claron and offers her a hand.
Claron nods her head as she takes Tabris� hand.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse and Luna enter the bridge. On the wall screen you can see sections of ship�s hull flying past and breaking off, each piece causing Ettik to howl.
^Lilly^ opens her eyes as she looks around, �What...did I doze off again?� I wonder where everyone is...closes her notebook and walking out of the galley she heads towards Med Bay. �Maybe Claron is still there, wanna see how well she�s doing.�
Claron slides carefully off the bed, leaning on Tabris for support as they head out the door of Med Bay.
Luna_Faline: �O�Goddess, I pray this doesn�t hurt him beyond repair,� I whisper as I take a seat.
Tabris: �Doing good so far, Babe.� Tabris holds Claron up then looks ahead down the hall at Lilly. �Where�ve you been?�
Tewyn gets off his bed and starts wandering the ship.
Claron looks sadly at ^Lilly^ as she leans on Tabris.
^Lilly^ arrives at the med bay just in time to see Claron being supported by Tabris. �Should I?� hearing Tabris she sighs hanging her head a little. She walks up to them and studies both of their faces. �I guess I dozed off in the galley...What�s wrong?�What did I miss? Where are the babies?�
Vin_Da_DM: Eyeing Luna and Eclipse, Alexei continues to go over the controls. Eclipse speaks up, �We�re going to have to forcibly exit hyperspace, I hope you�ve realized this?�
Vin_Da_DM: �Yes�� Lowering his head Alexei punches a few controls, then looks at Luna. �I suggest you hold onto something.�
Luna_Faline holds onto the chair arms waiting for the big boom.
Vin_Da_DM: Ettik�s coms continue to crackle with static but Alexei�s voice can be heard, �Everyone get someplace secure and brace. This is going to be rough��
Claron: Tears start to slide down Claron�s cheek as ^Lilly^ asks about the twins. �They...
they....have been...taken,� tries not to shake.
^Lilly^: Terror streaks her face as she hears the news. How could she fall asleep at such a drastic time! Hearing the com she decides not to press more about the babies, seeing her reaction and knowing how she must be feeling. She looks around for a spot to sit.
Tabris: �Damn, that doesn�t sound good.� Tabris looks up at the nearest speaker then at Claron.
Claron looks at Tabris��Don�t know if I have the strength to control our gravity��
Vin_Da_DM: Lilly sees no sitting place in the corridor, the med bay door is down the hall and a second door sits on the wall beside her.
Luna_Faline looks from Alexei to Eclipse. �Is there anything we can do to strengthen Ettik?�
Vin_Da_DM: �Besides praying, I don�t think so.� Alexei shakes his head. In the rear view on the bridge screen an electric charge begins to crackle over the three engine pods.
Claron: �Maybe we should try the door next to ^Lilly^?�
Tabris: �It�s worth a try,� Tabris moves over to the door and looks at Lilly.
Luna_Faline begins rubbing the amulet again as I silently pray to Selenia for help.
^Lilly^: �Are you two all set?� waits for their response and then looks next to her noticing there was a door. She opens the door and lets the two of them in first following behind. �If there isn�t room...I can find somewhere else.� looks around.
Vin_Da_DM: The small storage closet has enough space between some heavy crates.
Tabris: �Looks good to me, everyone in.� Tabris helps Claron inside as he looks for a spot.
Claron looks around the room, �We all will fit, ^Lilly^.�
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse hops up on Luna�s lap and looks at the amulet, �Let�s hope she hears us.�
^Lilly^ smiling lightly she nods as she walks in and sits down in between a few crates. �Hope this�ll do�what�s going on anyway?�
Luna_Faline nods to Eclipse as I continue to send silent pleas to the Goddess.
Vin_Da_DM: As the electric charge spreads over the hull of the ship you hear a loud rumble, then it spreads outward with a crack.
Claron: �I don�t know...something about being stuck in hyperspace�� Claron�s thoughts return back to the loss of her children.
Vin_Da_DM: An electric charge spreads across Alexei before he collapses on the floor. Then as hyperspace seems to freeze for a moment it vanishes and Ettik is thrown into the orbit of a large moon.
Vin_Da_DM: In the cargo closet the crates shift slightly as the ship rumbles with it�s decreasing orbit.
^Lilly^ looks around. �Umm, is it over?�
Claron jumps, startled by the crack she hears.
Luna_Faline moves Eclipse off my lap and drops to the floor to check on Alexei.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse pads over to beside Alexei and looks at him, �Is he...alive?�
Luna_Faline places a paw over Alexei�s chest feeling for a heart beat.
Claron: �Why is the ship rumbling like this? Something is not right!�
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei�s armor prevents Luna from feeling anything, but as he moves his head he coughs, �That...hurt. Going...to crash. Get off the ship.�
Luna_Faline looks around at the bridge, �Crash? Get off? Where? How?�
Tabris: �Definitely not,� Tabris braces on the crates as he attempts to stand up.
^Lilly^ gets up. �I�m gonna go check it out...You two okay here?�
Claron: �Tab, something is wrong with the ship!�
^Lilly^: � ...Or did you want me to stay with Claron, Tabris?�
Vin_Da_DM: On the view screen Luna sees the ship is already entering the atmosphere, flames licking at the edges. The holographic controls hover in mid-air as Alexei looks at them. �Half circle control, then gray twice. Ettik will do the rest.�
Luna_Faline stands up and takes the controls. �Okay,� as I do what he says.
Vin_Da_DM: The holographic screen lights up with several different displays. After a few seconds Luna recognizes them as life signs of passengers. Commands buzz across the screen.
Luna_Faline purrs worriedly, �Easy, Ettik, easy�.�
Vin_Da_DM: Quietly on the holographic screen Luna sees a few of the life signs vanish into yellow pulses. Down in the cargo closet Lilly, Claron and Tabris see yellow flashes surround them.
Luna_Faline: �What was that? What happened?� I ask anxiously.
^Lilly^ looks around her, her arms spread out. �What the heck is this?� looks over at Claron and Tabris and sees similar yellow flashes.
Vin_Da_DM: Two more pulses signal Tewyn and Eclipse�s teleporting. Luna realizes she is the remaining signal and that Alexei is not on the readouts.
Claron heart starts beating faster as the yellow flashes appear, closing her eyes, she screams. �NOOOO!!! NOT AGAIN!�
^Lilly^ rushes over next to Claron. �Hey! Are you ok? Tabris, what�s wrong with her?�
Luna_Faline: �Now what?� I ask the empty ship.
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei leans up slowly and looks at Luna. �Take care of them�� The yellow flashes cover Luna and she vanishes.
Vin_Da_DM: As the yellow fades you all find yourselves on a grassy hill overlooking a small lake. Forest surrounds the lake and snow-tipped mountains beyond them.
Claron opens her eyes as she hears the sound of ^Lilly^�s voice. Still visibly shaken, looks around once she realizes they aren�t in the closet anymore.
Luna_Faline falls to my knees as the yellow fades. �Damn...where are we now?� looking around for Eclipse and the others.
^Lilly^ looks around as she sees them and the forest around them. She looks back at Claron and her concern grows. �Claron...are you ok? Do you need anything?�
Vin_Da_DM: Luna sees the rest of the group gathered around her, looking dazed and confused.
Tabris: �I�m never going to get used to that teleporting�� Tabris looks at Claron after speaking.
Luna_Faline: �Everyone okay?� I ask as I sit up looking around.
Vin_Da_DM: The area is peaceful and in the air you can hear the sounds of a stringed instrument being played somewhere nearby.
^Lilly^ looks up and smiles at Luna. �I am. But Claron�s shaken.� Studies the rest of the group as she watches the area out of the corner of her eye, not trusting even the most peaceful of places.
Vin_Da_DM: �Whole and alive,� Eclipse responds to Luna then looks at the others.
Luna_Faline ears twitch around as I look for the source of the music.
Claron: �I....I...thought they had come back,� looking back at ^Lilly^.
Vin_Da_DM: The music stops suddenly as you hear a boom from overhead. In the sky you notice an Ettik shaped fireball heading across the sky. It disappears beyond the mountain, visibly descending, and fast.
Luna_Faline shades my eyes as I watch it move across the sky. �Bless them with peace, O�Goddess.� I pray for their souls.
Claron moves in closer to Tabris.��I hear mus�� as a boom sound is heard, looking up at the sky seeing the flaming ball��Ohhhhhhhhh, what is that?�
Tabris: �I think I know what�� Tabris watches it disappear then sighs, �God, I hope they survive that.�
^Lilly^ stands up she looks at the sky as Ettik descends behind the mountain. �Ettik...I think.� Wandering around the field she looked over the rest of the remaining crew. Noticing Tewyn in the distance races over to him. �Tewyn...can you hear me? Damn you, can you hear me?� Starts shaking him.
Tewyn slaps ^Lilly^. �Get your damn hands off me!�
Vin_Da_DM: Down near the water a head with flopping green ears pops up from behind a set of rocks. You hear some noise but can�t make it out from this distance.
^Lilly^ falls backwards and holds her hand to her face looking shocked. �What was that for?� Getting back up she turns and storms off in the opposite direction.
Vin_Da_DM: �What is that?� Eclipse looks down towards the head, which disappears again behind the rock.
Tewyn: �When I have to report what I do to you�then I will...till then just keep your hands off of me!�
^Lilly^: Ignoring him she continues walking, mumbling to herself about helping others.
Tabris: �Am I seeing things, or did I just see something down there?� Tabris blinks and looks around the lake area again.
Luna_Faline looks where Eclipse is looking, then begins moving slowly toward the rock sniffing the air.
Tewyn looks around. �Where�s Shaiya?�
Vin_Da_DM: Luna picks up a scent on the breeze, it smells similar to garlic but seems off.
Luna_Faline crinkles up my nose at the smell, still looking for the thing behind the rock. I pause a few feet away and lean around to see behind it.
Tabris looks over to Tewyn, then glances at Claron, �Oh, boy...somebody�s going to have to fill him in��
Claron notices ^Lilly run off, then sees Tewyn slap her...letting out with a gasp, �Tis too bad I am not up to it�or I would knock that DROW on his own ASS!�
Claron: �Shaiya is no longer with us�� looking boldly at Tewyn.
Vin_Da_DM: Luna sees a small squatty creature wearing brown clothing. A small backpack is laid out beside him. The smell is coming from a cooking pot hanging above a fire.
Luna_Faline calls out, �Hello?� softly purring, to the strange little creature behind the rock.
Tewyn: �Well, that was a short visit.�
^Lilly^: Not realizing it, but she had stormed off in the direction that the weird character had seemed to be coming from. �Damn elf...see if I ever try and show a caring nature towards him aga-� falls backwards and looks up. �Um...hi?�
Vin_Da_DM: The creature hops to his feet and turns. Backing up against the rock he point his cooking spoon at Lilly, then at Luna.
Claron looks at Tabris. �What did happen to her?� realizing that she doesn�t really know what happened to her either.
Luna_Faline scoots back and a bit over to the side saying, �We�re not going to hurt you.� softly......thinks �does he understand me?�
Tabris: �She spouted something about evil plans and getting what she wanted before leaving with RD�s little robot buddies.� Tabris looks at Claron.
Vin_Da_DM: Tilting his head he lowers the spoon, �Who you? Where you come from?�
Tewyn eyes Claron, �And what�s with that look?�
Claron eyes grow large, �She�s one of THEM?!�
Tabris: �Afraid so�� Tabris sighs then looks over towards Luna.
Luna_Faline places a paw on my chest, �I�m Luna, servant of the Goddess Selenia. These are my comrades. We mean you no harm,� I purr.
Vin_Da_DM: Luna notices a miniature horse attached to a cart nearby munching on grass. The cart is full of various objects, none of any real value.
Claron looks back at Tewyn, �WHAT is up with slapping ^Lilly^?� I ask back.
Tewyn: �She didn�t need to shake me�I�m not some rag doll.�
^Lilly^ eyes Luna and then the spoon. �Well, I�m Lilly.�
Tewyn: �You have a problem with my response to her?�
Luna_Faline moves a little closer and sits down, placing my paws in my lap to not threaten the little man. �Can you tell me where we are?�
Claron mind races as she realizes all the things Shaiya had said to them when they first ran into her had all been part of a ploy to take Stryder and Clarissa.
Vin_Da_DM: �Luna, Lil-ie?� The creature moves back to the cooking pot and stirs, �This Blue Pool. I, Tupper, goblin.�
^Lilly^ shrugging, she continues past Luna and the creature and even past the horse.
Luna_Faline nods, �Tupper, I�m glad to meet you. Are there any villages close by?�
^Lilly^ mumbles something as she passes Luna. �Sorry, need to be alone��
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse sits on the rock near Tupper and Luna, watching them quietly.
Claron: �Still no cause to slap her...seems to me�.� deciding it best not to continue and add more fuel to whatever is eating at Tewyn��Just think it wasn�t necessary...that�s all, Tewyn.�
Tewyn eyes narrow, �Well, it seems you deem a lot of things...unnecessary now, don�t you?�
Vin_Da_DM: �Vil-ages?� Looking at Luna from his goggled helmet he tilts his head, �What is vil-age? You see fire star, fall toward big water!�
Claron: �Tewyn, that is unfair...When we first arrived to this universe I thought you knew Clarice was dead...and yes, I am sorry that you did not learn of it from me.�
Luna_Faline looks over my shoulder at Tewyn and Claron arguing then at Eclipse with a raised brow. �Villages, place where people live together? Yes, I saw the fire star. If big water is that way, what is this way?� Pointing back at the trees.
Tabris: �Come on you two. We don�t have time for this�� Tabris looks at Claron and Tewyn.
Claron looks at Tabris with pleading eyes, �Don�t you realize that if I had made time in the first place, that maybe Tewyn wouldn�t be feeling or acting the way he is now?�
Tewyn: �And whatever gave you the thought that I knew...iI you knew anything of her or of us...you would of known her wishes...but you just didn�t see it necessary.�
^Lilly^ continues walking a little ways from where Luna sat with Tupper. Seeing a few trees she slumps against one leaning her head to the side first looking at the sky, then closing her eyes. �Sometimes, I don�t even know...if I fit in with them...or anyone for that matter. I feel I annoy them.� She sits, appearing to talk to herself, or just out loud.
Vin_Da_DM: �Ah! That way humie cee-ty. Big water have cee-ty too.� Tupper slides his mask up and tastes his meal with a pleasing lip smack, �Need eat, cat lady?�
Claron looks at Tewyn��You forget...I NEVER really got a chance to know her...not like you did!�
Vin_Da_DM: �You are hardly annoying,� Eclipse pads toward Lilly watching her.
Tewyn: �No, I remember�YOU refused to�Or did that disk and the time with her just not do anything for you?�
Vin_Da_DM: Tabris sighs and walks off towards Luna and the goblin.
Luna_Faline smiles at Tupper but shakes my head at the offer of food. �How far humie city?� pointing towards the trees again.
^Lilly^ jumps slightly at the sound of Eclipse�s voice. �...How long have you been there? And why are you here in the first place?� bringing her knees to her chest she hugs them to her.
Tewyn nods, �Oh no, that�s right...you were to busy with your lil boy toy over there...to barely acknowledge her�� walks off.
Vin_Da_DM: �An interesting question. Why does darkness come from light? Why is the sky blue? I am here because I am meant to be here.� Eclipse blinks, his sky blue eyes seeming to glow.
Claron shakes her head as Tewyn verbally slaps her and walks away....
^Lilly^ eyes him, �I didn�t mean it like that and you know it.� Sighing, �Why are you here next to me?...I need to be alone.�
Claron: Fighting back the tears makes her way over beside Tabris.
Vin_Da_DM: �Cee-ty two moon walk. You want go?� Drinking some of the stew Tupper takes the pot over to his horse. While there he adjusts a small sign on the side of the cart that reads �Werz�.
Vin_Da_DM: �You want to be alone, you need someone to talk to.� Eclipse nods his head and pads up next to her, purring, �I have lived long enough to know how you humanoids work.�
Luna_Faline: �Does that city have good humans in it?� I ask Tupper.
Claron leans in an whispers in Tabris� ear... �I certainly didn�t make the situation any better with Tewyn.�
^Lilly^ rolls her eyes she turns away from him. �Whatever...no one knows anything about me. Especially the Drow.� Enunciating �the Drow� with a disgusted tone. She is almost ashamed as she says it, but pushes the feeling aside.
Vin_Da_DM: Patting the horse on the neck Tupper looks at Luna, �Good humie, yes. Nice ho-lee lady buys Tuppers werz.� Waddling back over to the fire he puts it out with a hand of dirt.
Luna_Faline: �Will you take us to the Holy Lady?�
Tabris: �Can�t get much worse.� Tabris look at Claron then at Luna, �Shouldn�t we be looking for the ship first?�
Luna_Faline looks over at Tabris, �I doubt Ettik and Alexei would be in any shape to help us now. I think we should look for the Holy lady to get some help.�
Vin_Da_DM: �Perhaps sharing some of your burden will ease it.� Eclipse turns and starts walking back toward Luna, pausing to look back at Lilly.
Vin_Da_DM: �Ho-lee lady, yes. Go now, big fang like pool when moon rise. Big fang eatses goblin!� Tupper begins to clean up, stuffing cooking tools into his backpack.
Claron stands listening to Tabris and Luna, distracted by the confrontation with Tewyn, the news of Shaiya not being a Warrior and the loss of the twins...
Luna_Faline nods, �Big fang likes to come here in the night...then we should leave soon,� I turn to look for the others.
Tabris: �Alright. Guess we�re off to find this...Holy lady was it?� Tabris nods to Luna, eyes Tupper before turning around to Claron.
Luna_Faline sees Lilly and Eclipse, but not Tewyn. �Where is Tewyn sulking now?� I ask Tabris.
Claron looks back at Tabris then glances at Luna, �I�m afraid I didn�t pay attention to where he walked off to.�
^Lilly^ watches Eclipse as he heads back in the opposite direction. �What would sharing it do? Huh?�
Vin_Da_DM: Tupper slings his backpack over his back. Checking his short sword he slides it across the back of the pack. �Cat lady and fwends red-e go?�
Luna_Faline nods to Tupper, �Lead the way.� I look around again for Tewyn. �Tewyn?� I call out.
Vin_Da_DM: Shaking his head as he goes Eclipse pauses near Luna, �If we are going, I am prepared.�
Tabris: �Hopefully he�ll catch up.� Tabris glances around for Tewyn.
Claron slips her arm around Tabris waist. �Ready as I am every going to be.�
Luna_Faline looks down at Eclipse, �Can you find Tewyn and tell him where we are going?�
^Lilly^ laying her head on her knees as Eclipse walks away, � That�s it...leave me alone, just like everyone else,� she mumbles.
Vin_Da_DM: Tupper starts off toward a small gap in tree line, turning his head as he goes he manages a whistle. �Whin-ee come. We go now!�
Luna_Faline following Tupper towards the tree line I call out to Lilly, �You coming with us? Or staying there?�
Vin_Da_DM: The horse perks it�s ear then willingly follows after him, pulling it�s cart.
^Lilly^ glancing up at Luna, she sighs and stands up. Brushing herself off; she stalks after them. �Yeah...I guess I�m coming...don�t know what good its gonna do��
Vin_Da_DM: �More good then you�ve yet to realize�� Eclipse speaks softly as he follows after Tupper.
Claron: �Better than doing nothing at all, don�t you think, ^Lilly^?�
Luna_Faline sniffs the air as I walk trying to catch a whiff of Tewyn�s trail. �I hope he comes back to us,� I mumble lowly.
^Lilly^ shrugs as she walks lightly behind the group.
Vin_Da_DM: �I will look for the dark elf.� Eclipse sighs and disappears into the trees with a quick leap.
Vin_Da_DM: The gap in the trees turns into a dirt path. A crudely made sign post points towards the lake and the city. The writing is worn off but numbers marking distance remain.
Luna_Faline follows Tupper along the dirt path thru the trees toward the city.
Claron looks at the sign as they approach it.
Vin_Da_DM: Faded numbers read 12 and 1 but there are no units. Tupper looks back at Claron, �Old sign. No ver-e good. I think.�
Claron whispers to Tabris, �Maybe Shaiya came back and took him. She did seem to be very interested in him, too.�
Claron manages to nod at the goblin.
Vin_Da_DM: Ahead of you the path winds through the forest. The dirt appears to have been well traveled but not recently.
Vin_Da_DM: Tupper continues to walk then points up at the sky ahead of you. A large dead tree sticks out a few hundred feet above the others, it appears to have been gutted by lightning. �When moon come, rest there. No fangs go dead tree.�
Luna_Faline nods my head to Tupper and continues on toward the dead tree on the horizon.
Claron: �Hmm, wonder how a tree can keep fangs away?� Feeling very tired and uncomfortable as her breasts become more swollen from not being able to nourish Stryder and Clarissa.
Vin_Da_DM: Somewhere in the massive expanse to the west lies a city and a �Holy lady�. To the east, the ocean where the sentient ship Ettik was last seen heading.
Vin_Da_DM: As you continue through the lush forest with the goblin, Tupper, leading you one can only wonder what lies ahead of you, as you find yourself lost on a strange planet.
