<[PC]_Adonis>     "..."

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "I will do as you wish..."

*     [PC]_Kazzria turns from the dragon and faces Adonis, a look of anger, and pain on her face

*     [PC]_Adonis sighs then takes a deep breath, bracing himself... "Hmpf...enjoy it."

<[PC]_Adonis>     (this was in common)

<[DM]_Hatter>     (Btw, unarmed strike on a willing target is d6 and it counts as subdual damage)

*     [PC]_Kazzria takes another step forward, muttering softly "Forgive me" before raising her arm and slapping Adonis across the face, her eyes pleading with him

<[DM]_Hatter>     (Okay, its a slap... d4 ...)

<[PC]_Kazzria>     -r d4

<dicebot>     [PC]_Kazzria rolled d4 --> [ 1d4=4 ]{4}

<[DM]_Hatter>     (Ouch.)

*     [PC]_Lystos 's eyes widen, misunderstanding the situation.

*     [PC]_Adonis upon the impact of the slap on his face, still weak from storm, passes out.

*     [PC]_Kazzria drops to her knees and trys to heal him, pain and worry creasing her eyebrows

<[PC]_Kazzria>     -r d20+4 *heal*

<dicebot>     [PC]_Kazzria rolled d20+4 *heal* --> [ 1d20=3 ]{7}

<[DM]_Hatter>     (Failed attempt at a heal.)

<[DM]_Hatter>     (Also, heal does nothing for subdual damage and he isn't dying.)

*     [PC]_Kazzria looks at the dragon anger in her eyes, and clears her throat, still slightly bent over Adonis

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Sing... if I must. You must keep your word, that you will let them go.."

<[PC]_Lystos>     (can i try a heal on adon?)

<[PC]_Adonis>     (lys, Heal as skill is useless, on such situations. especially on subdual dmg. as long as you don't have magical healing, nothing will help me.)

<[PC]_Lystos>     (news to me. okay, then.)

<[PC]_Lunos>     watches the interplay with a somewhat detached look on his face.

<[DM]_Hatter>     The dragon begins laughing with a claw over his face then calms back down quickly "I think that was more than enough to let you pass... No singing required, you have made these thousand years abit brighter with having him faint..." he begins to mutter in a low voice around the draconic tongue bringing forth circular auras on the ground raising eight full spectral beings "These will serve as your crew and..." he blows slightly into the wind giving breath to the ship on the sand pulling its missing boards together and sliding it out to the ocean "Your ship awaitsy you... These men will last until you get going... Not much longer..."

<[PC]_Lunos>     Lets get off the godforsaken rock...'

<[DM]_Hatter>     The dragon lurches over to Kazzria giving a light kiss on the cheek then opening his claw to her showing a small pendant of Bahamut "Keep this with you... It will allow safe passage... Safe journey be with you, I will treasure the small minutes we got to speak for the next thousand years..."

<[PC]_Lunos>     'You heard that guys? Its time to leave this thrice be damned place.' He begins walking back towards the shore

*     [PC]_Kazzria takes the pendant from the dragon and rises to her feet, pulling Adonis along with her

*     [PC]_Lystos slings Adonis' arm around his shoulders and assists Kazz in dragging him back to the beach.

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "sgiathatch, your name???"

<[DM]_Hatter>     "Vallanrus, Vallanrus Highborn... We will meet again even if I have to leave this island to seek you out..."

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "And mine, if you do not know it, is Lady Kazzria Ama... of the woodland realm.."

*     [PC]_Kazzria proceeds to drag Adonis along with lystos back towards the beach

<[DM]_Hatter>     The spectral beings begin to run for the ship at the doubled pace of the adventurers as to get there before them and have the ship readied for departure.

<[PC]_Lunos>     'You need to hurry people. I dont want to be on this damn island any longer than necessary!"

*     [PC]_Kazzria glares at Lunos "One of your party is injured sir! DO NOT COMPLAIN"

*     [PC]_Lystos gives the same glare to Lunos. "Indeed."

*     [PC]_Kazzria keeps her gaze down at the path, trying to support most of Adonis' weight herself trying to move faster, to get away from the dragon

*     [PC]_Adonis 's little cat follows quickly after them, clueless about the situation but happy to go back where they were before.

*     [PC]_Lunos backtracks and offers his assistance. 'Allow me, Kazzria. You have been under enough stress for today.'

*     [PC]_Lystos attempts to keep up with Kazzria, still hauling half of Adonis' weight.

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Do not touch him. I will be fine"

*     [PC]_Adonis is actually light as a feather and fragile in his broken silken clothing.

*     [PC]_Kazzria takes Adonis from Lystos entirely, supporting his weight, and making her way towards the ship

*     [PC]_Lystos pauses for a moment, then picks up the pace once again. "...Strange."

<[PC]_Lunos>     is the first one up to the shore and he waits patiently for the others to arrive.

*     [PC]_Lystos , no longer carrying half of Adonis, arrives second.

*     [PC]_Kazzria arrives at the shoreline and lays Adonis in the sand kneeling over him

*     [PC]_Kazzria hums softly:

"Dannen le

A ú-erin le regi

Rang ail le iestannen

Lû ail le tegin na hen.

Gwannach o innen ului

Ú lû erui, ului."

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Meow.."

<[PC]_Lystos>     "I know this song..."

<[DM]_Hatter>     Vallanrus hums softly and with a telepathic action "You sing very well, Kazzria Ama... Do not forget about this old dragon, for I will not forget you..."

<[PC]_Lunos>     listens intently as she sings, as if his heartstrings are being plucked, one by one.

*     [PC]_Kazzria looks up at Lystos "Help me get him onto the ship."

<[PC]_Lystos>     "Il ero il oio... mother used to--" He catches himself. "What?... Oh, yes... lets."

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Meow!" *Adonis' little cat, Dee, begins pushing him with her head*

*     [PC]_Kazzria looks at Dee, and says softly, "Come now, my little friend. He will be fine.. do not worry."

*     [PC]_Kazzria pulls Adonis up out of the sand again and walks toward the ship, calling out to the dragon as she goes "Tenna' ento lye omenta" (Until we next meet)

<[DM]_Hatter>     The ship begins to sail on its own as the spectral beings perform their shiply duties to put the ship on track to the nearest island

<[PC]_Lunos>     'I wonder where we are going now...'

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Somewhere away from here."

<[PC]_Adonis>     (tell me when, or if I get concious again.)

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Please, Lystos.. do not speak of the song..."

<[PC]_Lystos>     "I won't. But I would like to speak with you for just a moment."

<[PC]_Adonis>     (and someone could tell me where you guys left me off? in a room, on the deck, at the plank?)

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "that is fine.." *gets up from beside the bed Adonis is laying on in one of the ships cabins, and leaves the room to talk to lystos*

<[PC]_Lystos>     "Kazzria, of all of the people I've met in my travels, I have never once met a full-blooded elf. I would like to know..."

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Continue."

<[PC]_Lystos>     "Well, I would like to know, are there any places left in the world which still harbor elves freely?"

<[PC]_Lystos>     "It may be a strange question to you, but in Ostia, an elf is a rare sight, indeed."

<[PC]_Lystos>     "Most were killed in... a war. The rest fled. I've never found an elvish sanctuary in my years."

<[DM]_Hatter>     The Spectral being known as San Dravosa shouts out "We be heading to Dravanica, Home of the Dragon-kin and elven people! This is upon Master Vallanrus's request!" as he returns to his post as stirring.

<[PC]_Lunos>     sits at the bow of the ship, pondering thier next destination and what troubles it will bring.

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Lystos. There are places that do. It has been a long time since I have cared to encounter one. I was exiled. I was a noble in my city, but because of my gift, I am different... I can change into a wolf, and ONLY a wolf. My kin are able to do much more. I am afraid, my powers are channeled to only one specific gift. *acknowledges the sailor* it seems we are headed for one now... *sighs* Tua amin" (help me)

<[PC]_Lunos>     'Well, i guess I know that now...not like it helps me much

*     [PC]_Lystos nods in understanding. "Thank you. That is all."

<[DM]_Hatter>     The spectral beings seem a tad bit short, being the spectral presences of a race shorter than gnomes and fast as the wind itself. They do not speak of much other than how they are good at sticking to the tasks they are assigned to and have the ability to stay for as long as needed being as they can just bring themselves back from their own demise of time that the spell originally gave them.

<[PC]_Lystos>     "'Tua amin'..." he whispers to himself. '...She's suffering.

*     [PC]_Kazzria turns from lystos muttering "Aye. Suffering." And walks back into the cabin sitting again at the side of Adonis' bed

*     [PC]_Lystos makes his way out onto the open deck, closer to the bow and Lunos.

*     [PC]_Kazzria touches his arm gently whispering, "kuile!!" (awake)

<[PC]_Lunos>     'How is Adonis?" He asks as Lsytos approaches.

*     [PC]_Adonis opens his eyes a little, gazing like he just aged few thousand years...

<[PC]_Lystos>     "He is still out of it, but he'll be fine."

<[PC]_Lystos>     "Kazzria has that situation well under control."

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "'Quel undome Adonis" *reaches out to touch his arm again (good evening)

*     [PC]_Adonis sighs...

*     [PC]_Kazzria pulls some rations and a water skin from the floor and places them beside him, getting to her feet.

<[PC]_Lunos>     'Im sure she does. Wherever we go from here.. Im keeping one hand on my blade at all times. I dont like being dragged along.'

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "join us on deck when you are ready."

*     [PC]_Kazzria leaves the cabin, and walks out on deck, approaching lunos and Lystos. "he is awake"

*     [PC]_Adonis nods slowly... meanwhile the cat runs out of the room, to join the deck.

<[PC]_Lystos>     "Good." He spots the cat. "His little friend has made the trip, as well, it seems."

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "she is quite the charmer"

*     [PC]_Kazzria picks Dee up and pets her once then puts her down again

*     [PC]_Lystos chuckles.

<[PC]_Lunos>     regards the cat for a moment, passes on patting her, and looks back to the sea.

<[PC]_Adonis>     Dee hisses at the spectral crew, running from here to there, ending up next to them againg, 'till she finally finds her way back at Lystos.

<[PC]_Lystos>     "Hmm. I have always been more of a 'dog-person,' but one mascot is as good as any."

*     [PC]_Kazzria laughs softly at the cat. "See?"

*     [PC]_Lystos chuckles again. "Haha. Charming, indeed."

<[DM]_Hatter>     Four days have past with the sailing weather being perfect within the fifth day, dark clouds loom ahead with no sign of land to be seen but the crew is unworried by the storm itself, going about their time with their duties and making small talk about how the storm was nothing compared to the negative energy plane that they had once navigated with an astral boat giving small voices a laughter as they spoke of those events

<[PC]_Lunos>     For most of the four days, Lunos would sit quietly, making a bit of small talk with his fellow adventures, but for the msot part keep to himself. it was his lot in life, and as much as he would have liked to get out of that particular aspect...it was so embedded in his nature that anything agaisnt the thought, left him unsettled somewhat.

*     [PC]_Kazzria walks on deck, searching for Lunos and Lystos. It has been a few days since speaking to anyone but Dee, Adonis' cat. she has found herself staring at the amulet trying to get the strength to toss it overboard, but somehow, it has continued to stay in her possession

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Gentlemen! If you please, I wish to speak to you!"

<[PC]_Lunos>     What is it, elf maiden?' Lunos said, as politely as he could, trying not to sound sarcastic.

*     [PC]_Lystos is staring out at the clouds on the horizon when he hears Kazzria's voice. Her prolonged silence worried him, since their discussion a few days prior. Walking over, he questions: "What's the matter?"

<[DM]_Hatter>     A loud clash of thunder above was just a warning as it become loud enough to drown voices, sounds and everything to be one with the loud clash. The lightning show became more than just a show as it began to touch down into the waters in the distance and yet rain is devoid from this vary storm at this moment.

<[PC]_Adonis>     On the other hand, Adonis, was mostly appearing at dinner table, from time to time outside at the deck, lost in thoughts, sometimes gazing at his new friends like he's observing them, but when reacted to his gaze, wasn't giving a reacting suggesting that he was spacing out...'till today, upon hearing a familiar word "gentlemen", he turned his gaze upon the elven girl, slightly changing attitude, having his manner, "How.."

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "The place we are going... I am afraid do not take kindly to humans...Lystos, you may be fine... but as for you Lunos, and you Adonis... dragon kin never do... and elves... well, not so friendly... *mutters* they do not even take kindly to me anymore..."

<[PC]_Adonis>     (by the way, what kind of storm are we talking about??)

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Be on your guard. There may be more danger still ahead."

<[PC]_Lunos>     Anyone who speaks ill of me simply due to my birthright will find that I am no mere pushover...

<[DM]_Hatter>     (Adonis, roll for a Knowledge Planes check.)

<[PC]_Lystos>     "Dually noted. I fear, though, this storm may put us in a bad way, even before our unwelcome presence would."

<[PC]_Adonis>     -r d20+6 -knowledge planes-

<dicebot>     [PC]_Adonis rolled d20+6 -knowledge planes- --> [ 1d20=14 ]{20}

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "these people are more powerful than you are! You must keep your head down and your toungue strait. unless you wish to be killed.Or unless you wish to kill us all..."

<[PC]_Adonis>" Hmm...Powerfull... You see, if that's power we are speaking of. Power depends on its source, and the source changes in power depending on how you percieve and treat it. So we will act in respect, to get respected."

<[DM]_Hatter>     The storm had moved through an astral portal within the crack of the barrier maintained by the dragons, bringing with the strongest point of magic even the air is fully saturated with energies not natived to this plane, it is a calling from the negative energy plane - a calling one could only hope but to ignore.

<[PC]_Lunos>     My head will stay down, and my tongue straight, you can count on that, Kazzria. I do not attack openly. I strike from the shoadows, and by the time i have hit...it is already too late.

<[PC]_Adonis>     "As you said shadows...I will ask for forgiveness, if you'd excuse me for a while. I have a deal to make."

*     [PC]_Kazzria turns from them slowly, and walks towards the quarter deck, feeling the magic in the air, and touching the amulet in her hands "Mani nae lle umien sgiathatch??" (what have you done dragon?)

<[PC]_Lunos>     "Ah...the power of death calls us...this proves to be more and mroe interesting as events unfold.'

*     [PC]_Lystos returns to watching the storm brew on the horizon, mesmerized by its unusual nature.

*     [PC]_Adonis goes to frontside of the ship, pulling out his spell book out. He raises the book above his head, as its pages began turning repeatedly, he yells "Ave Noctum, me vitae en ti!", the book began spreading the draconic runes in the air, shaping them into nothingness one by one. "As I am the source of my power, I will be the master of it!"

*     [PC]_Kazzria turns to look at Adonis and cries out "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

*     [PC]_Lystos wheels around to see Adonis casting his spell, barely audible from the lightning.

*     [PC]_Adonis 's final words as they came out of his mouth, his own shadow flickers on the floor regardless of the direction of the light casting it, ripping the pages of the spellbook's shadow, the real book slowly dissolves into raw power in Adonis' hand.

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "TANYA!!!" (stop)

<[PC]_Lunos>     takes his kukri from its sheathe, not knowing what to expect just yet.

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ADONIS??? ARE YOU MAD?"

<[DM]_Hatter>     A shadow form appears from the clouds gathered around standing infront of the boat bringing it into a full halt "You have called upon me... A greater shadow being... For the purpose of power, darkness and the need of a way to hide have you?"

*     [PC]_Lystos 's eyes widen in disbelief. "By Pelor..."

<[PC]_Adonis>     "I'm simply in search for what's arcane, what's real, what's pure, and what's the source. Need to hide, quest for power, those are mere tools in the path to understand the laws of the universe."

*     [PC]_Kazzria falls to her knees, "Mani nae lle umien....Mani nae lle umien....." (what have you done, what have you done)

<[PC]_Lunos>     moves closer to adonis, to better see what is transpiring. 'This is your deal, huh?'

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Show me what was hidden behind our mirrors, what we were, what we shall be again. Yes, that's the deal."

<[DM]_Hatter>     "Your simple request... Is granted, I shall allow you to use my power as if it were your own... When you grow stronger, you'll gain more of my own powers... Do with them as you wish, may the shadows hide you well wizard..."

*     [PC]_Kazzria looks at the shadow and Adonis at the same time "You do NOT know of what you have done you FOOL! Invoking spirits like this for POWER??? Amin feuya ten' lle!!!!!! (You disgust me!)

*     [PC]_Adonis nods in gratitude, as a chill runs down on everyone's spine.

<[PC]_Lunos>     a glint came over Lunos' eye for a moment...'Power...but at what cost? We shall see, wont we wizard?" Then, muttering to himself, 'i shall keep your back close..'

*     [PC]_Kazzria rises from her place on the deck, and runs into the cabins, slamming the door behind her and fumbling the amulet, speaking quickly... hoping the dragon will somehow hear "Mani naa lle umien? Mani uma lle merna??? MANKOI?!!!" (what are you doing? What do you want? WHY?!!!)

<[DM]_Hatter>     The shadowed form begins to slowly fade as the ship moves forward "This has proven to be more amusing... A shadow pact in the midst of his comrades..." as he spoke those words, he vanished fully.

*     [PC]_Adonis smiles as he turns back closing his fist while jailing the last pieces of shadow flickering in his palm...

<[PC]_Adonis>     "What cost? Power? You want an explanation?"

*     [PC]_Adonis gets his usual face quickly, staring with who-do-you-think-you-are sort of eyes.

*     [PC]_Lystos gives Adonis a look of heavy disdain. "Don't give us those eyes. What have you gotten us into, aristocrat?"

<[PC]_Lunos>     'An explanation will come in due time, I am assured. Just, make sure those powers arent used...indiscriminately....'

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Let me tell you, what I've done." *pulls out a piece of paper out of his bag* "You see this paper? This is magic." *folds the little paper into a tiny ball* "This is still the same paper, but in its base form"

<[DM]_Hatter>     The pendant on Kazzria glows slightly at the magical disturbance and giving off flickers of light.

<[DM]_Hatter>     (Pendant of Bahamut, Detect Evil - Detect Magic Lesser)

*     [PC]_Kazzria holds the pendant tighter in her hands Tua amin!

<[PC]_Kazzria>     (help me!)

<[PC]_Kazzria>     -r d20+4 *sense motive???*

<dicebot>     [PC]_Kazzria rolled d20+4 *sense motive???* --> [ 1d20=20 ]{24}

<[DM]_Hatter>     (Sense motive on WHAT?! o.o)

<[PC]_Kazzria>     (evil? I dunno! detect evil!)

*     [PC]_Adonis is no evil, and his motives are honest.

<[PC]_Lunos>     'So, what have you done then, Adonis'?

<[PC]_Adonis>     "And as we all have seen, I simply wanted to follow, something I've been reading for a while. This is another teaching of magical studies. I was lucky to find such a chance. Otherwise, according to the book, I had to go to some place written here, that it's not even certain it exists. I tried, and successed. I'm still feeling the same. Thinking the same. I've given nothing from me, to gain something I didn't have."

*     [PC]_Kazzria comes from the cabin and approaches Adonis "AND SOMETHING YOU SHOULDNT HAVE!!" Do you even GRASP what you have done????"

<[PC]_Lunos>     Deals do not work like that, friend. The time will come for when something is asked in return.

*     [PC]_Lystos moves out of Kazzria's route to Adonis.

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Do you understand what you have done ADONIS."

<[PC]_Adonis>     "I'm not expecting any of you to understand. This deal was between me and me. I totally understand what have I done, and I have the grasp of it."

<[PC]_Lunos>     I do not claim to understand. But i know that no one gets something for nothing.

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Then you will understand that this SPIRIT will ask you of something? Do you understand that this is beyond what a human can handle???"

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Lunos, what's so hard to understand about it? *gives him a silver coin* Here, you have it, do whatever you want to do with that. Melt it, make a tootpick, or keep it the same, or buy something. Whatever you have, will be worth a silver coin. Nothing more."

*     [PC]_Adonis looks at Kazzria.

<[PC]_Lystos>     "They are correct. What cost will there be for you later on? You may not be able to handle what comes as a result. If you are satisfied with that, then you are lost to greed."

*     [PC]_Kazzria begins to cock her arm, once again to slap him, but drops it suddenly, realizing once again, she has expected too much. She walks to the main mast, and climbs quickly to the crows nest, wanting to be apart of the storm and away from the humans

*     [PC]_Adonis sighs...quickly leans towards his room, to get away.

<[PC]_Lunos>     "I appreciate your attempt at logic, Adonis. But this coin...'he flips it up into the air and catches it smoothly' can hardly be construed in relation to some sort of arcane might you just gained."

<[DM]_Hatter>     Adonis' cat lets out a small meow then words form fluidly "This form is not one of my nature, Adonis, but to follow you and keep in contact... It will do... They seem to think the shadows want something... We are satisified with company, death and various things..." *follows Adonis to his room

<[PC]_Lunos>     'As for this coin, however...I have an interesting idea...' Lunos goes to the bow, and looks out onto the chaos before him.

*     [PC]_Kazzria sits in the crows nest looking into the storm and looks at the amulet, curious at the glowing it had made before

<[PC]_Kazzria>     (hatter, what check do i use on the amulet??)

Nov 06 23:24:29 <[DM]_Hatter>     (Arcane)

*     [PC]_Lystos glances up at Kazzria, then brings his eyes to follow Lunos.

<[PC]_Lunos>     Looks up at Kazzria, smiles at her, and motions for her to come stand with him at the bow.

*     [PC]_Kazzria realizes that one person on the boat can tell her about the amulet in her hands, and resolves to just deal with the situation, no longer caring about right or wrong

*     [PC]_Kazzria climbs down from the crows nest, and jumps the last few feet onto the deck, walking slowly towards the bow tucking the amulet in her tunic for further actions.

<[PC]_Lunos>     "Kazzria...come stand here...look a the bristling chaos before us...its amazing, is it not? its raw power, all around us...yet we glide through it, as easily as a prow through water."

*     [PC]_Kazzria looks out into the waves hitting the bow of the ship, realizing Lunos was right. "We will just have to deal with the negativity of the world.."

*     [PC]_Adonis comes out of the cabins after few minutes, two bottles in his hands...

<[PC]_Adonis>     "My fellow friends, if you have nothing better to do, let's drink something?"

<[DM]_Hatter>     Adonis' cat follows him like a shadow "As I said ear- Wait, give me... Alcohol is good for the cat... Meow..."

*     [PC]_Lystos nods to Adonis. "Give me one of those. The day is full of surprises."

*     [PC]_Adonis throws one of the bottles at Lystos.

*     [PC]_Lystos catches it, and pops the cork.

<[PC]_Lunos>     Precisely Kazzria...but dealing isnt enough, my dear. We must embrace it, as readily as we embrace anythign else, to understand it. And through understanding, we can overcome it. It is the trial that all the powers of the world go through...

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Ah, embracing the chaos of the world. Let me celebrate."

*     [PC]_Kazzria turns from him and walks over to adonis, taking the other bottle, then returns to the bow

<[PC]_Lunos>     Just remember...chaos isnt inherently bad, nor is it inherently good. it is change...

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Celebration for chaos? I won't agree with that. There are certain laws and codes we have to obey, for it serves the moral code."

*     [PC]_Adonis eyes his empty hands.

*     [PC]_Lystos walks over to the two at the bow.

<[PC]_Lunos>     And change, is necessary. For without change...flexibility isnt tested, and resiliency to moral imperatives doesnt exist...

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Dee, you want alcohol? I guess... we left out on the part.. both you and I."

*     [PC]_Kazzria opens the bottle fluidly, and takes a small swallow of the liqiud, handing the bottle to Lunos

*     [PC]_Kazzria calls over her shoulder, "Adonis. A word, if you please."

<[PC]_Lystos>     "You are both correct. Chaos is both brutal and necessary. With it, the world is a shamble. Without it, what a boring world we would have. A double-edged sword, if you will."

*     [PC]_Adonis mutters to himself "At least...heh...Alcohol good thinking...Duke was correct about something.."

<[PC]_Lunos>     So, just as good and bad, play their...oh thank you 'takes a swig himself' ...parts, law and chaos play theirs constantly changing what we know and how we know. Through that change, we exist as best we can.

<[PC]_Adonis>     "As you desire m'lady."

*     [PC]_Kazzria walks to the quarter deck, motioning for him to follow her

*     [PC]_Lystos nods to Lunos. "Amen." He clanks his bottle against Lunos', and takes a long swig.

*     [PC]_Adonis follows Kazzria affirming her motive.

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Excuse me gentlemen."

<[PC]_Lunos>     To Olidammara...for ever may chaos turn my dice in my favor...heh. "Lunos takes a deep swig' This is good stuff.

<[PC]_Lystos>     "Mmm. Yes, it is. I must ask Adonis where he gets it. It must cost a fortune..."

*     [PC]_Kazzria speaks softly to Adonis: "Vallanrus, he has given me something. I do not have the knowledge of the Arcane. You claim your life is in my hands. I wish for you to see what it does, and why... then your debt will be repaid."

<[DM]_Hatter>     (For Adonis, I require a roll)

*     [PC]_Adonis raises an eyebrow as he nods in acceptance. "I'll bid my sevices in thy use, alas I won't accept my debt to be paid in such way...Please, show me what he's given to thee."

*     [PC]_Kazzria pulls the amulet from her tunic and sets it in her palm. "when you made your pact, it glowed."

<[PC]_Adonis>     -r d20+4 *knwldge Arcane*

<dicebot>     [PC]_Adonis rolled d20+4 *knwldge Arcane* --> [ 1d20=5 ]{9}

<[DM]_Hatter>     The amulet's powers shown are only that of detect evil and detect magic as previously stated, only of use of that but there would be a hidden property of it.

<[PC]_Adonis>     "This property will help thee to understand, percieve the motives of a soul, will let you know if it's nature is evil, as for the glow, the shadow that came to answer me, was born in evil nature, thus the amulet glowed. In addition, the amulet will help you to detect the magical auras that places, items might contain. I'll be able to unlock more to it due study."

<[DM]_Hatter>     (Take the natural 20 right now so I can get this part over with and possibly move off of the boat. <<)

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Besides, I wish to have a word in return, as for the payment you mentioned earlier."

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "and what is that."

<[PC]_Adonis>     "You won't be getting the rid of me that easily, I've heard of your song, and I'll be concious next time, to listen to it."

<[PC]_Adonis>     (Take 20 Arcane lore)

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "you... heard...*turns from him slightly embarassed and begins to walk away*

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Now, let me see the amulet again..."

*     [PC]_Adonis holds Kazzria's arm. "Stay."

*     [PC]_Kazzria keeps her glance down, handing him the amulet

<[DM]_Hatter>     The amulet itself is a conduet to which is connected to a strong magical being, the original owner of the amulet had enchanted it over forty thousand years ago to give and it is in return, able to communicate to directly if the need arises he wishes to speak then he could very well speak through it.

<[PC]_Kazzria>     ".......ah *looks at his hand on her arm with a questioning gaze*

<[PC]_Adonis>     "I guess you don't want me to tell about your amulets powers in the middle of everyone. Otherwise you wouldn't ask me here. This will work to communicate with the dragon. He could, would speak to you, through this amulet. And that's it."

*     [PC]_Kazzria nods in acknowledgement and takes the amulet from him returning to the bow and taking the bottle from Lystos

Nov 06 23:58:06 <[DM]_Hatter>     The ship had been sailing for seven days as one of the spectrals called out from above "We are nearing our destination! Please do maintain a caution, these are dragon-kin are likely to--" As the spectral spoke a small fireball very big caught the small creature turning him into astral vapors as another one spoke "Heh... I knew he would be the first to go..."

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "It seems that our little friends here, are not allowed to warn us?"

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Warning? This is looking more like a warm welcome to me."

<[PC]_Lystos>     "...I see what you did there."

<[DM]_Hatter>     A loud booming voice could be heard from the coast line "We do not allow such little bastards on land, Vallanrus has been warned for sendin them to taunt us with their little dance!! You can land as long as we can purge your ship of those vile creatures!!"

<[DM]_Hatter>     The pendant gives a small laugh "They haven't gotten over that in seven hundred years... Heh..." Vallanrus' voice was quite apparent.

<[PC]_Lunos>     'It would seem we are all a moral dilemma...'

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Vile creatures... Yet they've done nothing but sail and keep the ship running... I wonder who's delusional. "

*     [PC]_Kazzria looks down at the pendant in her hands

*     [PC]_Adonis turns his gaze at Kazzria.

<[PC]_Adonis>"Did that....????"

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Yes."

*     [PC]_Kazzria grips the pendant in her hand speaking to it softly "Mankoi lle uma tanya?" (Why have you done this?"

*     [PC]_Adonis makes a face clearly meaning "Seriously,are we gonna keep it"

<[PC]_Lunos>     Eyeing the amulet "Always a new suprise..."

<[DM]_Hatter>     A draconic tongue speaks through the pendant "I have been watching you, Nobleman... You pacted with a shadow and you try to woo the woman whom has my pendant?" while a brief elvish comes through "We had an argument, they wanted to come to my island - I taunted them with my followers."

<[PC]_Adonis>     "Woo the woman? *muttering* Hmpf..no different than my father..."

*     [PC]_Kazzria speaks to the amulet "Have you put us in danger? Mani nae lle umien?" (what have you been doing?)"

<[DM]_Hatter>     "I have been sleeping for the last seven days, it is not unusual..." The ship continues to sail for the docks as it comes onto the entry "I have not put danger on you, they are just angry with my followers for their little dance..."

<[DM]_Hatter>     One of the spectrals in the crow's nest began dancing in an obscene fashion doing little

<[PC]_Lunos>     Looks up at the spirit, "Oi! Cut that out you little creep!"

<[PC]_Kazzria>     "Have them stop, so we may land. Or your pendant is going into the depths of the ocean Vallanrus.

<[DM]_Hatter>     "Do not do that... I have much for you and I do not wish to lose contact with you..." a small sniffle is heard from the dragon "I will have them stop only for you..." a roaring command is left throughout the boat from the pendant ceasing the dances allowing them access to dock.
