Nymaru Island

[Tyrmer]

The man looks up, mouth moving but nothing coming out. "Help. Me." He croaks up the cliff, barely audible above the waves.

[quote="Qhell~Velladorn":1p3iqgia][color=midnightblue:1p3iqgia]Raven nods to the captains words about him being in charge of the salvage crew and smiles at the princess' offer of kindness. [i:1p3iqgia][b:1p3iqgia]Thank you m'lady, but I will rest under the stars while I'm on land, so that I may be beneath the gaze of the Maiden.[/b:1p3iqgia][/i:1p3iqgia] He then stands and begins to gather his pack and weapons that he brought with him and prepares to leave.[/color:1p3iqgia][/quote:1p3iqgia]




"If I might make a suggestion, sir.There is a beautiful forest behind the castle to the west and no better place to sleep under the stars is it, and our shrine to Eilistraee is there as well.However, well guarded it is, for a large pack of our lycanthrope cousins roam those woods.If you should like to camp there, please take this."
She walks over to a table and opens a small wooden box, taking out a pendant on a chain.
"If they should trouble you, and they will for it is their responsibility to guard the woods, show them this and they will leave you be."
She hands you an ornate pendant, emblazoned upon it is the Willowsong crest, it seems to catch the light and gleam a bit as she holds it out to you.

You hear no further response from the men above you on the cliff .At first all you can hear is the crash of the waves upon the shore below, but then a new sound commences , the furious beating of giant wings.
Two large white forms descend upon you, before you can protest, if you even have the strength , you are snatched up from under the arms and jerked up into the heavens , sailing up and up, until you can see the solid ground looming up quickly at your feet.You are deposited rather rudely upon the ground, and your rescuers stand back to look at you.
They are strange looking men.Around 7 feet they stand with great white serpentine wings, affixed with tiny claws at the top, akin to a dragons.Horns jut out from their brow, and when they open their mouths to speak to one another , sharp fangs are visible inside.They are dressed in a similiar manner, an obvious uniform of some sort and are equipped with bastard swords in scabbards at their hips.Their bodies are well musculed and they look very formidiable indeed.
They are speaking to each other in a tongue you do not understand, and seem to be arguing.One of them throws his arms in the air in a universal sign of exasperation, and rifles through his pack searching for something.
He pulls out a potion of some sort and leaning down to you, forces your mouth open and pours it in.The mint flavor reveals it as a healing potion.
They then seem to come to some sort of agreement on something, and scoop you back up again, under the arms, and proceed to drag you away, their considerable strength making any symblance of a struggle futile.

[Tyrmer]

OOC: Ooh you just had to do it didn't you!

IC: The man writhes in pain as they pour the potion in his mouth and his face blisters where it splashes him. He screams in agony and tries to escape their grasp. When he opens his mouth to scream they can clearly see two pointed teeth in his mouth. It is also odd that though screaming in agony he is not actually breathing. He wears the remains of a tattered black suit and cape.

"Ock..sh*% "One of the men carrying you grunts,
"Its a da&% vampire,"
"Well what do you want to do, we need him for questioning?"
The man who cursed continues cursing in their strange tongue while he drops the man he was carrying to the ground and takes out his arm, pulling back the sleeve of his shirt he reveals his white wrist.He raises the wrist to his mouth and bite down hard with his pointed fangs, the blood that trickles from the wound is thick and smells peculiar.He puts his wrist to your mouth, while the other male restrains you.
The blood that flows into your mouth is probably unlike anything you have ever tasted. It is magick made blood and as it pours into you you feel a burst of power that floods your system.For just one moment you feel something that you have not felt in ages.For a split second , your dead heart beats.
Then he yanks his wrist from your mouth , tearing his own flesh as he does from your fangs.The effects of his powerful blood fade, you feel weak but healed. He curses again, and moves away to wrap his wrist.
The man who is restraining you looks down furiously at you,
"I don't know who you are or what you're here for, but if you try anything, anything at all , if you even look at anyone funny, by the will of the Gods , I will tear you apart."
The other man finishes binding his still bleeding wrist, and casts a series of spells upon himself and his companion, then they scoop you back up again and start to drag you again.

[Tyrmer]

The man resists drinking the mans blood as long as he can but eventually a single drop lands in his mouth and his eyes gloss over and he sucks as much of the heady fluid as he can from the man's wrist. After it stops he spasms a fetimes then collapses into a heap, sobbing and allowing himself to be dragged along.

I chuckle when he speaks about his daughter "I understand, and thank you, as soon as my clothes are dry I'll give her clothes back... and yes, I know about spoiling, lol. You must love her "

When he says I shoud talk to Zaklathan to know his story and then he warns me against the ones comming from the Underdark, I nod and smile at him, knowing he's not treating me as a child, but only warning me "Thank you. Maybe I will talk to him later, and thanks for the warning. I didn't know so many came from the Underdark... but if they're that evil, then why did they listen the call and come? Well, thay could have their own reasons besides just duty. I'd like to meet your daughter"

When I see his daughter comming in and drawing so many looks upon her I feel glad of meeting another female of the island.

"Hi, I'm Ibn... I didn't expect rumours to be so fast, and thank you for the clothes. I'll give them back as soon as mine are dry Oh, and I'm a maiden too, I just wanted to see the world... among other things, but don't misunderstand me. I assure you, I do want a mate... eventually, but that one will have to be as adventurous as me".

When she mentions that I'm wet and Amaron tells me where can I find a place to get changed I nod at him "Chalithra, maybe we can talk later? is good to chat with another female. Most of the crew in the ship were only men and you're very nice" and, shivering, I walk to the back room. Fortunately she brought clothes that are more less my same style: comfortable and just for curiosity I look back from time to time to see if anyone's looking at me.

Although the shivering is obvious my moves are still as gracefull and smooth as a cat and I'm conscious that my gift of the succubus makes me like that.

(OOC: Note: Maybe I'm wrong and I know you already explained me this, but at the age of 110 she would look like a what? 16-18 years old human girl?)

*Considers the offer of a place at the castle as Raven speaks of resting under the stars. A fine ist officer but he has some strange customs. Over seeing night activities he can understand as sunlight makes vission a bit of a problem, the devotion to his weapons and moonlight make less sense to him. There still might be danger in the strange offers of friendship. The crew is stronger if together. In one place. The Inn perhaps, the castle clearly not safe if assassins get in it. But one most not insult his hostess either.*

Raven I will join you where you decide to rest this eve.

*Bows to the Princess* I thank you for your kind offer of quaters here, but we *meaning Raven and himself* have a few thinks to plan.

[Qhell~Velladorn]

[color=midnightblue:1doo3y4m]Raven reaches into his shirt and pulls out his symbol of Eilistraee, [i:1doo3y4m][b:1doo3y4m]This should offer me all the protection I need great lady, but I will accept your offer kindly none the less.[/b:1doo3y4m][/i:1doo3y4m] He reaches out a hand and gently takes the medallion from the proncess ond turns to captain Boled. [i:1doo3y4m][b:1doo3y4m]I sleep beneatht he stars tonight sir, are you sure you wish to join me?[/b:1doo3y4m][/i:1doo3y4m]

He then turns a nd starts to walk toward the doors, then turns back to the captain, a smile on his face. [i:1doo3y4m][b:1doo3y4m]The light bothers me not sir, I learned long ago when I came to the surface to deal with it's piercing rays. The only reason I take the night watch is cause that's what I, of all your crew, am best suited for, and not just because of my herritage, but also because of my reacial traits as well.[/b:1doo3y4m][/i:1doo3y4m] He then starts for the doors once again, hanging the medallion that pricess Mara gave him from the hilt of the bastard sword sticking up over his left shoulder so that it can be seen by all.[/color:1doo3y4m]

ooc..yep...
ic..

When you return from changing Chalithra has left the bar and her father is looking quite livid.A nymaru male is laying on the floor at his feet with a sizeable knot upon his brow and is obviously unconscious.Another guard takes the unconscious man and drags him out by his ankles.
"Sorry about that,"
Says Amaron.
"But I have told her time and time again that the tavern is no place for a maiden."
Although he says nothing, he is looking at you very seriously when he says this.
"If you are ready we shall leave now."
He takes your arm in a gentle but firm grip and starts leading you out of the tavern.Many of the men, both illithyri and nymaru are starting to get pretty deep in their cups at this late of hour and you can feel their eyes digging into you as you leave.
"I am sorry, I meant no disrespect , Ibn, but some of the men in their are getting very drunk and you are a lovely young woman.I did not feel like watching a bar browl break out over you."
He leads you up the hill to the castle. Most of the lights are out , but you can see a glow from one of the first floor windows .
As he leads you in you can see alongside the walls the famous Willowsong portraits that you have probably only heard of , portraits of people that your race and the race of the nymaru consider akin to Goddesses and Gods.On these walls are women who have given up their entire lives, and any choices that they may have made for themselves to battle for Faerun and to battle for the many causes of the Gods of Light.
He leads you past these portraits into a well lit study,warmed by a large fire. A nymaru woman is seating on the bench before the fire, staring in deep contemplation at the flames.She looks up and you see she is little older than you, but her large green eyes show a pain and fatigue that makes her appear far older than her years.She stands up and smiles as you,
"Greetings, little dark sister, are you here to answer the summons?"

[Nedylene]

As the two of you step out of the castle you can see that the storm clouds have finally passed . The stars glitter like diamond dust in the immense skies, and the twin moons hang heavy and ripe.
You can see the woods beside the castle and they are dense and largely untouched.This island is a lot larger than you had imagined, some great magick must be upon it, if an island this size was to be kept so unknown.
The forests smell of fresh rain.Although there is a small path going through the middle, most of the fallen timber and brush have been uncleared throughout the rest of the woods.
At the end of the path there is a small , but well built building made of carved stone.Above the door is an engraving of a naked woman dancing under the moon.
The wood lands have been cleared for about 10 feet all around the building, and this would probably be the best place to camp.

OOC: Then Ibn's a teenager!

I look at him, eyes and mouth wide opened

"Uhhh... ok, let's go. Sorry for that. 10 years away are too much, I guess I forgot what women can provoke here. I'm sorry. In the continent that doesn't happen all the time... sometimes." I grab my wet clothes and my little chest "I'm ready" and while I feel the males digging in my back I shiver

As I look at the Willowsongs and those females that gave up their lives I grimace and sigh deeply, then, when I see the Nymaru woman I don't speak, respectfull to her concentration. Only when she speaks t me I answer.

"Greetings. I'm Ibn and I'm part of the crew of the ship. I knew nothing abut a summon until Amaron told me the queen was summoning everyone, but he couldn't tell me what was the summon about. If I can help I'll do it gladly. Amaron sayed Captain Bolden and Raven were speaking with the princess" I don't recognize this woman, because I was never in the castle before, but I think she's important, so I keep a respectfull tone with her.

[Nedylene]

"Yes,"
She replies, her voice sounds sweet but tired,
"I have spoken with your captain and Mr.Stargazer already, but you, as a Sister and one who has obviously traveled will be a very valuable aid.My name is Princess Mara Willowsong. Would you like to take a seat and , perhaps, have some [i:mc9upg49]dorm deamhan crau[/i:mc9upg49]?"

[Bhaern Quel]

Walks with Raven to the clearing nest to the castle. Still at unease of the situation. The statue though brings to mind many thoughts.

"This looks like an interesting place."

[Qhell~Velladorn]

[color=midnightblue:31obsyns]Raven slowly makes his way around the clearing, checking for any signs of the lycanthropes that the princess mentioned. Spotting some tracks on the ground, he studies them for a moment and notices that they're both human prints, some botted and some not, and animal prints. He looks over at the captain as he draws the sword over his peft shoulder from its sheath and drives it into the ground, the medallion still hanging from the hilt. [i:31obsyns][b:31obsyns]You have no idea how interesting. What she said about the lycanthropes out here is true, they trek through here at a regular basis.[/b:31obsyns][/i:31obsyns] He shrugs his shoulders as he starts to lay out his blankets, the only thing he could salvage of his belongings besides his swords on such short notice.

Once he has his bed set up, he looks directly at the captain, the moonlight causing his silver hair to glow. [i:31obsyns][b:31obsyns]I feel as uneasy about this as you do, but you know how I feel about not offering help in return to those that give us aid. Besides that, she seems sincere enough, as do all the fair skinned ones, even some of the darker skinned ones. I say we talk it over with the bo'sun and the second mate and decide from there, we both know that they can be trusted to keep this hush hush.[/b:31obsyns][/i:31obsyns]

After stating his piece, he goes into the temple and prays at the shrine to his goddess, asking her to deliver Markus safely into the Queen of the seas arms.[/color:31obsyns]
