"Er, what type of games are the fun kind, Aerwyn?"

by Octavia Rhoswen Thu Jul 23, 2015 8:35 am

Turning to the fire puff, "Sparky might like a bone tossed. Oh boy! I bet he'd let me pet him then. Can you get me a bone for Sparky?!"

Her eyes widened.

by Volkihere Malacalo Thu Jul 23, 2015 8:53 am

Volk hands Aerwyn a finger.

by Torvallis! Thu Jul 23, 2015 8:56 am

Torvallis! hands Aerwyn a giant rat skull

by Octavia Rhoswen Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:06 am

Aerwyn takes the skull in her hands, looks at it and gives it back.

"Do either of you have a simple leg or arm for Sparky?"

by Torvallis! Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:19 am

"I have a rat claw?" Torvallis! offered

by Volkihere Malacalo Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:22 am

"I will be back."
Volk leaves then a few minutes later returns and hands Aerwyn a leg and an arm it looks like it was removed from a person a year ago.

Timmean, who had been watching and listening to the entire conversation, finally spoke up as the topic seemed to trail off.

"The vampire has some association with the other creatures we've seen at night; this we know. She claimed she wasn't responsible for the loss of Volk's eyes, though she may know who is. She was... evasive on that question. And yes, she offered a deal; I've had interest in the stronger magics since I learned of them, but haven't found anyone capable of teaching them. Somehow she learned of this, and... made an offer, to teach magic in exchange for blood. I tried to push this "deal" so that she wouldn't harm anyone who didn't volunteer, but she never gave a clear answer to that. Also, she was quite plain that she enjoys... 'playing with her food.' She's not content with drinking from me; she claims to prefer the taste of Fey blood. I wasn't willing to 'volunteer' anyone else, but we asked, hoping we could placate the vampire into leaving everyone else alone. That... didn't go well. She got angry at Malva and loosed Sparky on her, then threatened death to everyone here if we didn't get Sparky back. Thankfully we did, and Malva managed to hide, but still... she was angry. She said she would return in a moon's time to get our answer. And Volk tells me there was a renewed promise of death-for-all should we turn her down; I don't recall that bit, but it was a trying night, and I can't be sure I'm remembering everything."

Timmean paused, thinking back over the grim speech.

"Oh, and when I asked about the Necro-Dancer, she seemed surprised. Perhaps he, at least, isn't under her control."

by Volkihere Malacalo Thu Jul 23, 2015 3:54 pm

"You think the necrodancer is a separate entity."
Volk stops for a second
"That would explain why he disappeared when Borris and Anistasia started lifting people of to the tombs."

by Malva Thu Jul 23, 2015 4:05 pm

"Are you suggesting that they stole his prey?"

by Volkihere Malacalo Thu Jul 23, 2015 4:20 pm

"Maybe it is a possibility. and if we kill the vampire we will only be exchanging one villain for another."

by Gerogie Thu Jul 23, 2015 4:29 pm

Opal replies, "One less villain is always a good idea. I read about a spell in my cousins Library that would thicken a persons blood, do you think that this would be less appealing to the Vampire. I am not currently powerful enough with water to cast it - but perhaps if Timmean would teach me before I leave?"

by Malva Thu Jul 23, 2015 4:53 pm

"I'm actually fairly certain that if we kill the vampire the necrodancer will just come give us a high five and be like 'Yo thanks she was eating all my stuff'"

by **Timmean** Thu Jul 23, 2015 5:03 pm

Timmean nods slightly. "I'm not sure how the vampire and necrodancer 'relate' to each other. They may be enemies or allies; as of now, it's impossible to know which. But yes Opal; I can teach you to strengthen your water magic. I'm far less practiced in water than I am in earth, but I believe I know enough for the spell you're referring to."

by **Timmean** Sun Jul 26, 2015 5:21 pm

After several quiet minutes, Timmean speaks up again. "Alright, so what plans do we have? Unless we go along with her deal, we only have a few ideas so far. I believe Malva is working on a burnout potion, which should render the vampire powerless... unless the vampire can resist the alchemical effects. Lessa has offered that a friend of hers may be able to provide us with some assistance, though I'm not sure exactly what that assistance would be. And Opal will work on a blood-thickening spell, to hopefully make us less appealing, or perhaps harder to drink from. Are there any other thoughts or suggestions?"

He pauses for a moment, and then adds, "And I think it's quite clear that her deal has been rejected, unless any of the fey wish to say otherwise."

by Octavia Rhoswen Sun Jul 26, 2015 6:52 pm

"Lessa knows that one thing to help, the one she wants to keep secret," Aerwyn pipes up.

by Malva Mon Aug 03, 2015 7:04 am

Malva adds in; "Anyhow, I am going to try to get some potions lined up to try against her. I can make a Burnout potion as long as I have the cooperation of someone with void mana. I also have a recipe for one that could stop her from casting spells, it's pretty easy aside from the fact that it calls for orc blood. Do any of you know where I could find some?"

by **Timmean** Mon Aug 03, 2015 4:36 pm

"I can provide the void mana whenever you're ready for it; but I only have one, so this will have to be done carefully. As for Orc blood, I have no idea where to find some of that, unless Phineas has a contact. There was that one orc who passed through a while ago, but... hm..." Timmean pauses and shudders slightly, remembering the day. "Well, I guess that wouldn't really work."

by Volkihere Malacalo Wed Aug 05, 2015 7:20 am

"I know of an orc, it will take some time to find him but I can try. He was here a year ago... He wouldn't go far. I probably won't find him but I'll try, I will head off tomorrow, I will be back before the next moon. Any objections

by **Timmean** Wed Aug 05, 2015 10:28 am

Timmean grimaced. "If that's the same orc I'm thinking of, I'm not certain we can trust him. The last thing I remember before... before I died, was following him and Borin into the forest. I have no idea what happened there, but I know it didn't go well for me."

by Volkihere Malacalo Wed Aug 05, 2015 12:54 pm

He didn't kill you if that's what you're thinking

by Malva Tue Aug 11, 2015 7:33 pm

"Anyways Timmean, do you think you could teach me awareness? It would really help me to use mana in a potion if y'know, I could see the mana."

by **Timmean** Tue Aug 11, 2015 8:24 pm

Timmean glances up, surprised. "Certainly! I didn't know you had an interest in learning about magic. Just be warned, it does take a little time. Teaching a spell can be done fairly quickly, but that first bit of learning, to actually be able to see and hold magic... it takes a special heightening of the senses. But yes, I can indeed teach you."

by Volkihere Malacalo Tue Aug 11, 2015 9:08 pm

"Before I go, kaymin needs to help me learn to make weapons out of wood. If you see them, tell themto meet me in the bunk house."
