I smile at Princess Mara and bow at her. I didn't know she was the princess, as I never saw her before.
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for considering me a valuable help" I try to be formal, although I feel ridiculous at that and I get as red as my dark skin allows me, which makes me feel even more ridiculous "I was at the tavern and I know that there are some wounded at the temple." I say while I seat in a chair "I can do nothing for the wounded. If you honour me I'd like to join you with some [i:lul2tp3o]dorm deamhan crau[/i:lul2tp3o] while talking about whatever situation you need" (meaning she will drink if the princess drinks)

Inside the temple is a lovely statue of the Lady of Moonlight, and it is here that you pray.When you finish, if you look up again at the statue, you could almost swear one of its stone eyes wink at you.
After you leave the temple and head back out to your blankets you can hear that the woods have grown very silent.The sounds of the night creatures have dimmed and the woods are still, too still.Before you have time to act, you can see in the woods all around you are eyes,luminous eyes watching you.The eyes are completely encircling the clearing.

She pours the thick viscous blue liquid into 2 ornate wine goblets and sits down on the bench beside you.
She hands you your glass and finishes hers in a series of gulps.She sighs then and stretches her wings out, rubbing the space between the wings that is so sensitive.
"It is a delicate matter I speak to you of.
My mother , the queen, has had a series of assassination attempts tried upon her.She is currently out seeking the aid of our dragon kin, and you know we do not often call upon their aid, but the matter is that serious.We have yet to be able to catch even one of the assassins for questioning.
We do not know how they are getting here, other than that is must be a portal of some sort.We do not know why they want to kill her, or who sent her.What little information we have is that they are more than likely an assassins guild that is currently based on one of the port cities of the Sword Coast.We need someone who is familiar with the port cities, and with Faeruns mainland to assist us in capturing these people.
Your captain and Mr.Stargazer seem as though they may be willing to assist, but I am sure they have their doubts about us.They know you however, perhaps you can assure them of our good intentions."
She takes your hand then, and the ernesty in her eyes makes her appear very young. Her hands are cold, despite the warmth of the fire and they shake a bit from sheer exhaustion.
" My mother has passed the mantle of The Willowsong down upon me already, and this seems to be my first quest.But I have never ventured from the island and do not know the first thing about getting around over there.I am not ashamed to admit that I need all the help I can get."
She stops abruptly, and her eyes drift ,as she seems to listen to voices that no one else can hear.
"I am told that there is a great role in all of this for you, Ibn, and a brave destiny that you must fulfill.But that you will have to face up to your past before you can truly succeed. "
She laughs then,
"Like I have any idea what that means...But if you could speak to your captain and Mr. Stargazer and assure their doubts, that would be most useful.They are camping in the woods, most likely they would prefer not staying with me in the castle."
She seems a little hurt at this,
"If you would like to go out there and speak with them, that would be good.You can return afterwards and stay with me, or you can stay in the woods, but if you stay there, I am sure you will wake up smelling like dog, because you know how Moon in his Faces pack likes to snuggle with us at night.Have you met Moon in his face?Does he know your smell? If not I will send a talisman with you so that he will know you are safe?"

The door to the Inn opens softly as a cloaked figure walks in, still dripping wet from the storms that often frequent the isle. The figure looks around sternly, eyeing the bar and walks towards it. As he passes several tables, the torch light gleams off from his adamantine plate armor and on to his ebon visage. Long, wet hair hangs down his face in alabaster rivulets and its certain to all his cloak afforded him little protection from the elements. The man walks with an ardent purpose, wether that be for drink or otherwise that can not be determined. Approaching the bar his gauntleted forearm rests; with a soft voice askes "where can i find the Willowsong ?"

ooc..sorry tyrmer..was waiting to see if you wanted to say anything else...
They continue dragging you along until you reach a tavern, several guardsmen are stationed out front .They speak to these guardsmen rapidly in their strange flowing tongue, and the guardsmen join them. They carry you on to a small building made of stone. Entering the building you see it is a prison of some sort.
They take you into a cell, depositing you rather rudely upon a chair.
They then tie you up , obviously taking no chances with you, for the ropes are tight enough to hurt.
One of the guards standing by the door to the cell shuts and locks the door, with you and another guard, still inside.Then the guard on the outside casts a spell upon the room, leaving a strange thick aura about it.
The guard on the inside with you is larger than the others, and his uniform has unknown emblems upon it.
He sits down in the chair in front of you,and crosses his arms over his chest.
"I want to know who you are , and what you are doing here.The stench of vampire is all over you, so dont try any tricks for the room is warded against them."

ooc...welcome makasta..everyone say hello to my honey bunny...
The bartender , a strange looking man with pale skin, horns and giant white wings, looks at you for a long time, as he wipes a glass with a towel.
"What you want with the Willowsong , stranger?"
He asks you in a stern voice, as he does you can feel the eyes of the rest of the patrons upon you. A few of them are humans, and they sit , looking very out of place, around the fire place, but most of them are like the bartender, with wings and horns.A few of the patrons almost look drow, but they too have wings and horns, but these ones also have long barbed tails that flick back and forth aggressively as they stare at you.

With an equally stern gaze replies softly; " I wish to speak with her regarding the summoning...." His voice trails off, the depth of his lavender eyes quelling any who gaze upon him. "It is divine business good sir....i can not say more to assure you..." Awaiting to be assulted at best by the patrons..." I promise no harm to the Lady of Faerun..."
"Her Majesty... Oh, I'm sorry, I suck with formality... Ups!" I throw the formalityes away and laugh "Sorry, princess. I don't mean to be disrespectfull, but can I say what I think? I think the Castle's not safe for you. If the assassins tried to kill the Queen they might try to do the same with you now that she passed you the mantle of the Willowsong. About Raven and Captain Bolden's doubts... I could try to help with that, but I can't assure you anything. Some people get intimidated by our appereance and not trust us, but I can try. When I first ventured out of the island I had the help of an old human captain" at the memory of my previous captain my face changes and frown thoughtfully "He was a good man and died a year ago. He knew I was not human and he was weary at the beggining, but then his good heart was stronger, lol. It will be a honour to go on adventures with you 
" suddenly I don't feel like I'm talking to royalty, but to someone closer.
"Princess Mara, I don't think the problem is staying with you. If you told them the same that you told me I think the problem may be that they don't feel the Castle's a safe place." I think for a while and then continue "Before I left the Island I used to live with my parents in a cabin in the woods. If you like you and I can sleep there tonight? If you feel safer we could take some guards. Is strange that they could get here... our island's well protected with magicks. Being a Wizard myself maybe I could investigate with the local mages? And... I don't know Moon. Always heard of him, but never saw him. If you could give me a talisman would be nice, but I will not stay for the night, ok? I don't know what it means that about my past, but if something needs to happen it will happen."
I approach to the princess and rub her back and shoulders. Looks like she needs that.
"The offer to go to my cabin, if it's still there, is up, ok? but if you choose not o go I'll stay here with you" I smile friendly at the princess while still rubbing her back.

"Raven I will take first watch" As he watches you spread out yout bedrolls.
"Yes there does appear to be a difference in personalities, byt we should not judge by color of skin, my friend. Talks a little about plans for salvage and the needed funeral for the one dead and mention of the three missing, before falling silent to let Raven rest.

The vampire just sits there, no longer sobbing but sitting with his shoulders drooped. His head is limp against his chest, face burned and scarred where the healing potion burned his impure flesh, he looks thoroughly forelorn and desheveled, his once grand clothes tattered and torn.

[color=midnightblue:hi0ang8a]As Raven begins to roll himself in his blankets after coming from the temple with a smile on his face from the statues reation to his prayers, he freezes in a crouch. He gives a sharp hsst, toward the captain and waves him over, reaching out slowly to take hold of the medallion with his other hand to show it to the eyes looking upon him and the unknowing? captain. He moves his hand that was waving the captain over in the drow hand code, which he taught all the crew members for sake of secret discusions. [i:hi0ang8a]Seems as if the princess was telling the truth about the lycantropes that gaurd this place captain. I think there may be no need for either of us to watch, since they are the natural gaurdians and can watch better than either of us.[/i:hi0ang8a]
Holding the medallion still in his free hand, he keeps a close watch on they eyes that are staring at them, metally and physically preparing for battle if it comes to that.[/color:hi0ang8a]

The guards man watches you, seemingly apathetic to your pain, but the longer he watches the more the chill in his green eyes seem to thaw.
He says gently,
"You have been badly wounded, more of our blood would ..."
He cuts off here, and the chill returns to his eyes.
"No...This is more than likely a clever ruse on your behalf, meaning to weaken us.Tell us your name and your business upon our isle, and we will see that you are healed and given a chance to clean up.We will even give you clean garments.If you do not speak, we will stake you out to meet the sun, do you hear and understand my common?"

The eyes continue pouring into you for what seems like forever, but the pendant glints in the moonlight and the eyes do not continue forward.You can hear from the woods a disgusting sound, a sound like thick branches cracked, popping, and bending.But a part of you knows it is not branches, but bones.
A man steps out from the forests.He is very large about 6"5 or 6"6, and very hairy, with a full beard and long hair.He is also very naked, but seems oblivous to the fact .
" I am Moon in his Face, and this..."
He motions behind him to the eyes that watch you still,
"Is my pack...You carry the queens favor, so I see you are welcome in these woods.But stray not from the safety of this clearing , for young ones there are in the pack, who would think to play with you, and I do not think you would enjoy their manner of play.We will leave you to your rest now.I am sorry if I may seem discourtious , but I favor not this awkward form."
His voice is gravelly and tinged with a snarl to his words, as he stands you see that he sways a bit as if off balance.He nods to the two of you and steps back into the forest.
You can hear once again the aweful cracking, snapping and popping as he takes his wolf form, and then the eyes are gone.

At the mention of more blood the vampires head snaps up. "NO! No more blood, no more liquid death!" He becomes more agitated and rocks around on his chair trying to break his bonds. Eventually his bonds break and his amrs fly outwards with the force, this man is strongeven for a vampire. But strangely, rather than attacking his guard and tormentor he runs into the corner of the cell and curls up in a ball, shuddering. On closer examination he seems to be clutching at his left hand and muttering to himself about a lost ring (OOC: please no lotr jokes).

The guards man watches you with astonished eyes.
He looks to the men outside your cell and says something to them, one of them nods and turns, leaving the prison.
He returns sometime later with a woman.Like the males her skin is very white, and she has horns and wings.Her eyes are slightly slanted, also like theirs, but where there eyes are mostly shades of blue or green , her eyes are red , like a drows.
When she enters her gaze is immediately drawn to you.She snaps an order to one of the guardsmen and he opens your cell door.She walks over to you and crouches beside you, taking your chin in one clawed hand and forcing you to look at her.
Her eyes seem to swirl a kaleidoscope of colors, and with a sharp blast of power she forces her way through your weakened resistances.
You can fight if you wish but her powers are strong and your excursions seem to have weakened you greatly, but she doesnt seem to be harming you, only probing your mind for information.She does this for a time, and then you hear a voice inside your mind.
'[i:1gkor1q8]You are strong.I can read little from you, save that you do abstain from drinking blood.Tell me why you are here, and you will come to no harm.[/i:1gkor1q8]'
