[ { "text": "Rae'liel - The Not-so-Honored Guest.\n\nSilence followed her as blood still seeped outward from her wounds. Staying conscious was becoming an ever-increasing labor, her breath began to draw shallow while she was lead along like a prize of war. Sherpa was sure to taunt her, followed by the ominous chuckles of those who followed him behind her. The door opened and a scene was being played before her while her world continued to spin. \n\nHer already pale skin had reached an even purer shade of white. Blood loss was continuing to take its heavy toll, and the Paladin could do nothing about it. Magically and physically exhausted, the urge to collapse over and sleep was a rising thoughtin her heart. \n\nEven though she knew that such a urge was the creeping fingertips of death that began to settle heavily upon her shoulders.\n\nAnd then there was movement. She sensed it long before she saw it, as a giant behemoth of a Night Elven kind came charging through the Humans' midst and crashed into the Paladin. A cry of pain caused blood to spatter forth from her lips and crimson to trickle down further from the corner of her lip due to her debilitating injuries. \n\nSerphia, of all people had saved her. That accursed Night Elven captain had picked her up and ran. Demanding that she would deliver a response for her need of rescue soon enough upon the advent of their escape. Sardonically, the Paladin smiled. \n\nThey would soon see why inevitably anyway upon their departure. Half of Sherpa's fortress was literally gone. Carved from the earth.\n\nPerhaps her sacrifice would have been worth it, perhaps she would have the chance to see it. That is, if she received the medical attention to survive soon enough.", "username": "Feisty-Pants", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\" ... I would at least have expected a ´thank you´, let alone ´my hero!´or something like that.\" Serphia commented between her breath as the Night Elf raced through the numerous corridors and hallways that littered the belly of the reef below the castle. The Night Elf ran with long strides, covering a large amount of ground with each step!\n\n\"Typical Blood Elves!\"\n\n...\n\nHowever, after having sprinted for almost almost an entire kilometer through the ascending corridors and stairs, the Captain became suspicious of the lack of noise or complaints coming from either Rae´liel or Sharon!\n\nFinally, in a more darkened hallways, Serphia would slow down to a walk. Although she was in top physical shape, the constant interval running up through the ascending corridors had made her start to pant a little.\n\n\"What´s going on with... oh.\" Serphia asked as she turned her head around to look at Rae´liel, before she realized that the wet and warm sensation she had felt all the way from her arm was in fact due to a stream of bright red crimson blood that ran all the way down from her shoulderplate and down along her arm and to her side. The Blood Elf was bleeding like a stuck pig!\n\n\"That´s... a problem.\"\n\nAlthough Serphia knew little about Blood Elf anatomy or biology, she knew that as a general rule, all living things could only lose a certain amount of blood before passing out - permanently.\n\nLooking in every direction to make sure that they weren´t being followed, or that there were no more White Hand mercenaries coming in their direction, Serphia would lift Rae´liel off her shoulder. In that process, she also found the missing High Elf, Sharon, now plastered to Rae´liel´s armor and clothes around her belly area.\n\n\"So that´s where you went.\" Serphia said with an almost a-hah expression as she noticed Sharon, the tiny High Elf now literally drenched in Rae´liel´s blood. It was a rather macabre sight, or at least could be considered to be. Though it seemed more or less to simply amuse Serphia, who was no stranger to blood.,\nTurning around after unplastering the disheveled High ELf from Rae´liel, she placed Rae´liel along the wall in a sitting position. Finding a dagger, the Captain went down on her knees next to the Blood Elf and quickly went through the buckles and leather strips holding the Blood Elf´s armor together, cutting them apart before she started to tear off her plates and ripping the padded clothing beneath apart until she found the bleeding wound in the Blood Elf´s upper abdomen and lower chest.\n\n\"She definitely took a hit!\"\n\n\"Fire, I´ll need fire... \" Serphia muttered to herself, before she looked to Sharon whom she had placed on the floor next to her. \n\nPutting her dagger back into her belt around her hips and unsheathing one of her large, curved swords instead; she held the side of the metal blade down towards Sharon who was standing on the ground.\n\n\"Heat it up, High Elf. I need to close her wound before we lose your fel addict!\" Serphia instructed Sharon as she motioned towards her blade.\n\nWhile waiting for the tiny mage´s response, Serphia would move the palm of her hand over Rae´liel´s mouth, realising that the pain her planned medical procedure would produce would probably produce a painful scream as well!\n\n\"You will thank me for this later!\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

[ { "text": "Serphia raised a brow at the suicidal Blood Elf, studying her grime covered face with her silver eyes. But soon a grin formed around the Captain's mouth, meeting that of Rae'liel's own.\n\n\"That would have been too easy.\" Serphia answered as she reached down to pick up the tiny High Elf next to her, before placing him on her shoulder and reaching out towards Rae'liel.\n\"Besides, the one providing us with free food and drinks asked you be saved. I wouldn't want to do anything to sabotage our good arrangement.\"\n\nSerphia explained as she motioned with her head towards the tiny High Elf, Sharon, who was now standing on her shoulder. Reaching out for Rae'liel, the Night Elf would pick the smaller Blood Elf up and hold her in her arms before standing back up on her feet.\n\n\"You can get a new set once we get out of here.\" Serphia mentioned as she looked at the remnants of Rae'liel's armor that lay on the ground.\n\"Right now we need to get out of here alive first!\"\n\nAnd with that, the Night Elven Captain, with Sharon on her shoulder and Rae'liel in her arms, continued her sprint up through the numerous and maze like set of corridors and hallways of the reef. She had little clear idea where she was actually going, which lead her to take some awkward decisions into dead ends and decorative rooms that forced her to turn back.\n\nFinally however, she reached a familiar corridor; the one leading up to the spiral staircase to the barracks that they had used to enter the reef. But as she approached the stair room, she suddenly heard the clattering of feet as a small squad of White Hand mercenaries were heading down towards them. Without a second of hesitation, she swung into a corner behind a small statue. The chevaliers passed her, none of them turning to look behind to see the Captain. They were apparently in a hurry, perhaps to join the battle at the ritual chamber.\n\nWaiting for them to turn a corner and disappear, Serphia emerged from the shadows of the statue to run up the stairs, passing through the barrack which was empty and out onto the battlements outside.\n\nPerhaps the first thing she noticed as she passed out onto the battlements of the fort was a distinct smell of burning wood and scorched metal, and a couple of large, dark clouds rising from fires across the fort. A number of the battlements, towers and bastions also carried deep scars, with chunks of rocks having been blown away or collapsed in certain places. The entire castle did indeed look noticeably much worse for wear than it had done previously.\n\nSerphia noted the devastation as she ran in the shadows of the battlements, passing through the smoke of remaining fires to stay concealed and dodging the occasional White Hand mercenary or castle steward that ran around in the courtyard and on the battlements.\n\n\"It almost looks like the Fourth Great War just started right here.\" Serphia commented while crouched in the corner of a hallway as she waited for two white hand mercenaries to pass her, as she glanced at one of the towers; part of which was charred black.\n\"It wouldn't surprise me if this was the work of that midget Rithrynn keeps dragging around.\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"Move, dammit! Who thought that making this stuff so sticky was a good idea!?\"\n\nLiaena thought as she kicked furiously at the remains of the gel around her legs, the damn stuff proving stubbornly resistant to her efforts. \"Get moving, you lot, would you! They'll be after us in a moment!\"\n\n\"They'll be here faster if you shout\" \n\nKathlin observed as she bent down to rip strands of the gunk from around the girl's legs. Liam was straightening up with Alissah floating next to him, apparently unconscious but no longer bleeding profusely. The young man, as usual, looked extremely pale as he glanced down the corridor, the shielding mist dissipating rapidly. \"I'm inclined to agree with Rune, for once…who is that?\"\n\n\"……\"\n\nHiding within Liaena's collar as the girl suddenly fell silent, Bella reached up cautiously to bring her camera up to focus on the elf stalking towards them. \n\n-click-\n\n\"Get yourself and Liam back up the corridor now\" \nLiaena hissed in a strangled whisper as her hand crept towards her satchel. Kathlin gave her an odd look as she pulled one of Liaena's arms over her shoulder to try and drag her out of the goop. \"Sure. You can come too\"\n\n\"Go!\"\n\n\"Can I go with them?\" Bella enquired in a nervous high pitched tone as Liaena slid her truesilver blade out of a compartment of the bag. Rithrynn by this point was coming over to investigate, her jaw dropping noticeably as she took in the man before her. \"Sher—\"\n\n\"The game ends here\"\n\n\"Go fuck yourself\"\n\nLiaena spat out as she sliced neatly through both straps on her satchel to free it, twisting her arm around to throw the entire bag through the air to land with a CRASH of breaking glass a few feet in front of Sherpa. There was a moment following where nothing at all seemed to happen, as though everyone there was holding their breath. \n\n-BOOOOOOOOOM-\n\nThe explosion that rippled through the corridor was on par, if not greater than the one that had recently occurred with Smokey, as everything dangerous, acidic, explosive or highly flammable inside Liaena's satchel detonated all at once. Sherpa vanished from view in the blink of an eye as a bright purple ball of fire expanded rapidly to tear into the walls and ceiling of the corridor and sending another volley of broken rock tumbling to the ground to completely block that section of the corridor. The castle groaned audible and the entire reef appeared to tremor slightly under the strain. \n\nFor the Night Elves and humans, the explosion seemed just about to tear into the little group when Kathlin flung out her arms and a shimmering shield manifested around them. It immediately flexed and buckled under the force of the blow, on the verge of disappating, before Liam stepped forward to raise a hand and the gold glow redoubled in strength.\n\n\"You are a moron!\"\n\nBella hissed into Liaena's ear nastily before she also added her strength belatedly to the shield that was protecting the group from the horrendous blast. Liam appeared to be muttering a prayer repeatedly as the fires finally shrank and diminished.\n\nKathlin finally lowered her hand as she stared at the destruction before them. The group were now faced with a corridor yet again piled high with broken rock, the only exit remaining being the one right behind them. \"Wow. You really didn't like him\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null } ]

[ { "text": "Rithrynn had no sooner gotten a glimpse of Sherpa as he stood in the hallway, pointing his Runeblade at the group, before Liaena had promptly decided to blow up the entire corridor!\n\nAs rocks and dust flew in every direction, Rithrynn was left coughing in the thick cloud of dust that now filled the corridor. By the time she could see anything, there was nothing but a heavy wall of rubble ahead of her where Sherpa had once stood.\n\n\"Elune!\" Rithrynn emitted with a shock and covered her mouth in dread with her hands, though quickly changed her tone when she realized that others were listening.\n\n\"Look! Look! Look what I found!\" Sounded the cheerful voice of Aleena, as through the dust, the Sentinel could be seen holding up the Death Knight's runeblade triumphantly in the air over her.\n\"I killed a Death Knight! I killed a Death Knight!\"\n\n\"Well congratulations... \" Rithrynn muttered as a reply to the celebrating Aleena, who had wasted no time in taking all the credit for the kill. The tales of Alissah's dart or Rithrynn's help had apparently long since been forgotten.\n\n\"And no one take his head; it's mine!\"\n\nAleena warned as she picked up the Death Knight's head that had fallen out of his helmet, which she began to strap to her belt as a savage trophy. This was all of no consequence to Rithrynn however, as the Sentinel's attention had long turned to Liaena and her peers that were standing closest to the rubble.\n\n\"Li, are you alright?\" \n\nRithrynn asked as she neared the group. Despite looking a little disoriented, Liaena seemed to be in one piece, standing next to Kathlin, Liam and a floating Alissah. The Night Elf cast a quick glance at Alissah, remembering how little she actually knew about the human female. In fact, Rithrynn couldn't even remember her name, but the fact that she now laid wounded made her feel a little bit guilty for forgetting it!\n\n\"Li, we need to,-\" Rithrynn said as she approached Liaena, but just as her eyes fell on the girl, she also noticed something behind her. A pair of ghostly arms were approaching Liaena from behind, carrying a set of scalpels, both aimed at Liaena's unsuspecting neck.\n\n\"GET DOWN!\"\n\nRithrynn shouted, stabbing a hand forth to push Liaena down just as a set of scalpels sliced above her head in a scissor-like movement. Not taking a second to even contemplate the near-death-experience of her friend, Rithrynn had already taken her arms around Liaena as she pulled in the human with all her strength to release her from her own gunk that was tying her to the floor. \n\nThe process of releasing the human from the gunk was anything but pleasant to the girl, and probably not much more for Bella who was squeezed into Liaena's chest by the Night Elf's arms. A series of cracks could be heard coming from Liaena's skeleton as her feet were torn out of the gunk, a process in which Liaena also grew by a couple of inches in height as well!\n\n\"Ghosts! Ghosts! Move it!\" \n\nRithrynn screamed as she succeeded in pulling Liaena out of her own self-made gunk, and no later began sprinting down the corridor in the opposite direction of the incoming specters, leaving Kathlin and Liam in the dust behind! Aleena had no sooner seen Rithrynn storm past her with the gunk-covered human in her arms, before the sentinel also followed suit, carrying her saber in one hand, scavenged Runeblade in her other and with the Death Knight's head hanging from her hips!\n\n\"Wait for me!\"\n\nThe rest of the Night Elves were already ahead, and soon found Rithrynn rapidly catching up with them at an alarming pace!", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "Rae'liel - Not-so-Honored Guest\n\nBeing carried along by a Night Elf that had practically tried to almost kill her a few days prior was something that Rae'liel didn't expect in the least. Each massive, jostling lunge that the behemoth of a half-troll took caused a stabbing pain to run agonizingly through her system, a light grunt of pain behind grit teeth following each one. Especially now that she had no armor to at least pad the majority of the impact. \n\nAt long last, she could feel the morning sun.\n\nCherishing its warmth, the Paladin still remained vastly uncomfortable in the arms of the Night Elf; but at least she could feel something nice for once. \n\nThen as she tried to make herself at least a little less pained, the Night Elf made a comment that denoted the destruction she and her troupe had caused outside. Almost as if sensing that it was her fault, Sharon instantly turned to question the gravely wounded Sin'Dorei if she knew anything of it. Sardonically, a wry and weary grin crept upward on her lips as she looked towards the massively damaged structure. \n\nA literal massive sphere was carved out of the fortress, and a sputtering, stifled laugh still lined with crimson rippled forth from her lips.\n\n\"Through intelligence reports I found out about your...impending infiltration. I knew that you would have issues with facing reinforcements, so some friends and I made a distraction. We attacked with an airdrop using Gyrocopters. One of them that intentionally crashed into the rooftop was carrying a rather large bomb. Hence...what you see now.\" \n\nHer tone saddened however, when she thought of the brave Blood Knights that had made the ultimate sacrifice to do grave damage to Sherpa and his fortress.\n\n\"I am the only survivor...I had almost completely defeated that vile Death Knight before I was struck down. You should have left me to die, I could have bought you more time.\"", "username": "Feisty-Pants", "char_name": null }, { "text": "Although the expression on the Captain's face had for a moment been one of sympathy as she heard about Rae'liel's loss, however subtle; Serphia's face soon turned into a more serious expression as her eyes shifted back and forth between the large, new crater that had carved out a big chunk of the castle and the very reef itself, and back to the Blood Elf in her arms.\n\n\"You WHAT?\" Serphia suddenly exclaimed as she looked down at the Blood Elf.\n\"You could have blown us to pieces! There was no way for you to know,-\"\n\n\"Who's there?!\"\n\nSuddenly sounded the voice of one a chevalier as a patrol of two White Hand mercenaries had been just passing under the archway. One of them had apparently heard the beginning of Serphia's rant, and was looking towards the corner in which the trio were hiding.\n\nSerphia bit her tongue, her eyes glaring out to her side as she spoke softly to Rae'liel.\n\n\"We will speak of this later... \" She said with a foreboding tone, before the Captain would rise to her feet and rush out from her hiding. The chevaliers reached for their swords when they saw Serphia suddenly emerge from the shadows, but couldn't draw them in time before Serphia had already ran right into the first one! The eight feet tall Night Elf, carrying Rae'liel in her arms, easily ran right over the chevalier who tumbled back and fell into the pavement. The second one drew his sword, but by the time he could swing it, Serphia had already dashed ten feet ahead and was sprinting away!\n\n\"Alarm! Alarm! I found the intruder!\" Shouted the chevalier, but soon lost track of Serphia as the agile Night Elf dashed around a corner and up a set of stairs leading to the walls surrounding the castle.\n\nSeconds passed as Serphia stormed across the battlements. Voices could be heard below, but no White Hand mercenaries could be seen. That was at least until the sound of musket fire filled the air as bullets whizzed past Serphia and Rae'liel as the former sprinted along the walls. Out of the guard tower ahead, a chevalier emerged wielding a halberd. Spotting the incoming pair of elves, he rushed forward to meet them. But as he swung it to strike at Serphia, the Captain jumped to the side and atop the merlons, balancing between the wall and the steep drop below. The halberd swing missed, and before the chevalier could swing again, Serphia had already passed him and jumped back on the wall behind him as she continued running!\n\nIt was not until she reached the south eastern end of the castle that Serphia rushed towards the edge of the wall, where one could gaze out across a gorgeous view of the harbor and the canal separating the reef from the mainland, and more importantly; an extreme drop straight down!\n\nWithout hesitation, or listening to any warnings, complaints or objections from either Rae'liel or Sharon, who could only sense what she was about to do; Serphia dashed forward, jumped onto the merlons, and jumped straight off the wall of Honor's Watch, leaving solid ground behind in favor of a drop more than two hundred feet straight down.\n\n\"You said you had a spell in case I fell.\" Serphia yelled to Sharon who was holding on to her cowl, as the trio began to fall at a steadily increasing velocity down to the smaller reefs and canals below.\n\"I hope you weren't lying, or by the goddess I swear, I'll kill you before we hit the rocks!\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

[ { "text": "*Bonk*\n\n\"Stupid bird!\" Serphia sneered at the seagull as it plonked off her shoulder and dived in a spiral towards the nearest fishery. It took however a moment for the Night Elven Captain's brain to register that their velocity had changed quite drastically, and that they were no longer floating peacefully towards the ground.\n\n\"Whut? ... \"\n\n...\n\n\"Goddess!\" Serphia exclaimed when she realized that she was again falling, and this time, Sharon had teleported away from them!\n\n\"I knew I couldn't trust that Quel'Dorei!\"\n\n\"Hold on!\" \n\nSerphia called out to Rae'liel as the Night Elf's grip on the Blood Elf tightened, and Serphia braced herself for the inevitable landing! Down below them, Sharon, who might have been lucky enough to escape the fall; soon would notice a shadow growing around him that was rapidly getting bigger. \n\nThe shadow, belonging to no one else but Serphia and Rae'liel as they fell towards the tiny High Elf!\n\nIt was with a heavy crash that the large Night Elf Captain, clinging Rae'liel in her arms, would land right on top of the shrunk High Elf as Serphia landed in the yard with her big butt first! Rae'liel followed with her, the Blood Elf landing in the Captain's lap! Serphia let out a loud gasp as she landed, partly because of the air being knocked right out of her, and partly because of the High Elf mage that just went straight up her butt! Her facial expression grew ever more bizarre as Rae'liel landed on her, and the Captain simply took some empty breaths as she tried to inhale some air.\n\nThere was no trace of the little High Elf, Sharon, who at that point was firmly entrenched within the confinements of Serphia's rear.\n\nAfter a couple of seconds of heavy breathing, Serphia finally regained her breath to the point she could look around. The yard was empty except for them, and the Captain's eyes moved over to Rae'liel who was lying in her lap.\n\n\"Are you okay?\" She asked, the Captain's features looking quite weathered as she was still panting.", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"STOP IT! RITHRYNN, GO BACK!\" Liaena screamed from Rithrynn's arms. The little girl squirmed ineffectually in the Night Elves firm grip, twisting her head around to crane back down the corridor. \"YOU JUST LEFT THEM! THEY WON'T HAVE A CHANCE!\"\n\n*\n\n\"Did…ah…did they just leave us here?\"\n\nLiam gasped as he jogged down the corridor, Alissah bobbing along in the slip stream as he tugged her along after him with one hand.\n\n\"…Yup\"\n\n\"But…they were….here to rescue you!\"\n\n\"I…guess this sort of counts? ….Maybe?\" Kathlin remarked dubiously. A flicker in the torchlight from the wall right behind the priests head made her eyes widen. \"Look out!\"\n\nLiam twisted around, warding off a spectre with a conjured fistful of Light as the creature hissed and backed off a pace – but only a pace. \"They appear to be closing in. Oh dear\"\n\n\"They do, don't they\"\n\n\"You should probably run\" Liam made a valiant attempt at sounding authorative, which failed miserably from the tremor in his voice as he shook the conjured orb at the ghasts. \"Back, vile creatures! ….I'll, ah, hold them off\"\n\n\"What?\"\n\n\"Go! Save yourself! I'm saying that I'll stay behind, and fight them!\"\n\nLiam hissed furiously at his companion, the priest having gone bright red in the face as she simply raised her eyebrows back at him. \"…That sounds like a terrible idea\"\n\n\"I—\"\n\n\"I do appreciate the thought though\"\n\n\"HSSSSSSSSSSKKKKKK!\"\n\nScissor arms whirring, the ghost made a lunge for the pair, only to bounce off a hastily conjured shield by Kathlin as she tugged on his sleeve to start dragging him down the corridor in a run again, Alissah bobbing along. \"Cmon, we do need to catch up with Li. Although that's very sweet\"\n\n\"….Sweet\" Liam muttered. The priest was still rather red, although clearly relieved that his heroic last stand had been spurned as he started to leg it after her, with many glances at the corridor behind him. \"Really?\"\n\n\"Oh, was that demeaning?\"\n\n\"….a bit\"\n\n\"Sorry\"\n\n*\n\n\"STOP! NOW! STOP!\" Liaena yelled, battering at Rithrynn with her arms, legs at any part of the Night Elf she could reach. Short of slamming her into the wall repeatedly – which the elf looked as though she was at least considering as a tempting option – there was little that could be done to stop the little girl struggling, not to mention alerting anyone not completely deaf within the castle and possibly the harbour side as well. \"YOU – WILL – NOT – JUST – RUN – OFF! I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WARRIORS!\"\n\nWith a lot of ineffectual flailing now that the Night Elf was intentionally squeezing her at a very awkward angle, Liaena managed to plant her boot into the Night Elfs upper thigh, tangling her legs with Rithrynns and interrupting the Night Elves stride. As with a stumble, Rithrynn just managed to keep her balance – averting a situation that would doubtless have been very uncomfortable for Liaena as well – Liaena squirmed in her arms to glare up into her face. \"I'll stop it if you go back and GET THEM. You're lieutenant, aren't you!? Get two of them—\" here she stabbed a finger at the other Night Elves \"--to carry them!\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null } ]

[ { "text": "\"Thanks\" Liaena said tonelessly, while behind her Liam's mouth gaped open wide as a fish, the boy pointing a weak finger at the Night Elf as he tried to summon the capacity to speak. Reaching out with one hand, the girl accepted the miniature human, now coated from head to toe in a mixture of unpleasant bodily fluids, into her palm. \"Dear me, Silva. What a shame about your robes\"\n\n\"…..\"\n\n\"…Go to hell, bitch\" Bella finally snarled as she coughed up some mucus, after a moment where she clearly flounded around for a more original comeback. \"….this….this never happened, Rune\"\n\n\"Language!\" \nLiam said reprovingly, the boy visibly slipping back towards 'Priest Gray' mode as he turned to lead the way towards the Cathedral. Kathlin tagged along next to Liaena, the latter making no attempt to even bother hiding the broad smirk on her face as she carried the tiny Bella along. \"It's not so bad, Bella. According to a thesis I read once, the Night Elves evolved an enlarged rectal cavity due to lack of pockets in their traditional attire. It's a mistake that could happen to anyone\"\n\n\"I do-not-care what your useless thesis said\" Bella growled miserably from inside Liaena's hand. As the group passed through the gate of the cemetery to head through a walled courtyard, the girl squeaked, to huddle into an even smaller ball as they rounded a corner into the main square where there was a greater potential of coming across a late night wanderer. \"Hide me! Please!\"\n\nKathlin gave Liaena's fist an odd look. \"Nooo no no. It wasn't my thesis. I just read it\"\n\n\"Soooo Rithrynn. This visit needs a low profile\" Liaena muttered to Rithrynn, over the plaintive whining of Bella. Glancing up at the large Night Elf as she climbed the marble steps, she shot her companion a look that clearly conveyed her scepticism that anything of the sort would occur. \"Do your sisters understand the concept of 'low'? Because alcohol is banned in the Cathedral\"\n\n\"Wut?\"\n\n\"And parties. And…getting naked in public\" \nLiaena added belatedly with some distaste as she led the way into the vast nave. Kathlin glanced over, to raise her eyebrows slightly at Liaena at this. \"Oh yes. Like that time you burned your robes off Li?\"\n\n\"…..\"\n\n\"Just…try not to cause any trouble\" Liaena grumbled after a pause. Kathlin looked up to smile consolingly at the Night Elf. \n\"Don't worry.

What weird customs do you have?\"\n\"What place have you brought us to, Rithy?!\"\n\nRithrynn winced at the ceaseless comments and questions from her sisters, grimacing as she turned around to face them as they walked behind herself and her entourage of human shorties.\n\n\"Well, it's a... uhm... place of worship. And as you know, worship in monke,- human lands is sort'a... weird. Nuff' said.\" Rithrynn tried to explain the situation to the best of her ability, fully expecting the small division of her warband to turn around and march straight back to Sharon's mansion at any time!\n\nBut before that could happen...\n\n\"Wow, Rithy... you really did speak the truth, this place is huge!\" Vashi would comment, the Night Elven Magi's head currently being stuck facing upwards to the monumental paintings and great glass windows that hung overhead; risking walking into any and anything in her way!\n\n\"Doh, I'm sure we can conquer a little chamber or two. After all, didn't we just rampage through an entire ape fort like it was nothing, sisters?!\" Aleena would blink as she rubbed her shoulder against the rest of her sisters, before the entire Night Elven group behind them erupted in a giant battle cheer that completely broke any silence that may once have possessed the venerable halls of the cathedral. If nobody had noticed them up till this point, then they certainly had by now!\n\n\"They're just happy they made it out alive.\" Rithrynn was quick to explain, trying to rationalize the behavior of her sisters to Liaena and her human colleagues to the best of her ability. Or perhaps, mainly to her colleagues. After her experience with her, Rithrynn wasn't quite sure how much of an explanation Liaena herself really needed.\n\n\"Soo... \" Rithrynn would approach Liaena, placing an arm over the human's shoulder as she looked down at the black haired girl.\n\"Do you got a place for me and my sisters to crash? ... preferably as far away from any human authority as possible?\" \n\nShe finally asked, with a slightly pleading tone in the latter part of her question.", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

[ { "text": "\"Hi Sharon\"\n\"Hi, Shaw!\"\n\n\"By the light... \" Sharon groaned as the High Elf magi rolled around in the palm of Liaena's hand, looking up at the two giant faces now staring happily down at him.\n\n\"For a moment, I thought I'd be stuck in there!\"\n\n\"Thanks for the rescue, girls.\" Sharon finally said, as he staggered back up to his feet. Giving himself a quick sniff and immediately grimacing, he soon reached down into the pockets of his blue robes covering his plate armor to produce a small, spherical crystal ball. Crushing it in his leather glove, it exploded into a million tiny, blue particles that washed over him. It was like getting a shower before immediately being dried, washing away any stain or odor that may have been on his equipment, staff and hair and leaving him as fresh as the moment he had left the mansion!\n\nLooking down at his own figure, now much cleaner and hygienic than the moment before, Sharon smiled to himself and nodded.\n\n\"Sounds like they're having fun without you, the-heh!\"\n\nAt Rithrynn's comment, Sharon threw a quick glance to the side at Serphia's large ass which was still hovering in the air, and the Captain very much awake and lucid. Raising an eyebrow, Sharon's gaze switched between Rithrynn and Lieana, to focus on the latter.\n\n\"How did you convin,-\" He asked, before lowering his voice, almost whispering as he held a hand up next to his mouth.\n\n\" ... how did you girls get permission to save me?\"\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe moment the Bloodsworn Runeblade fell into Priestess Thea's hands, she could immediately feel a violent pulse suddenly emanate from the blade to race through her arms and into her body!\n\nIt was a powerful sensation that seemed to flow from the Runeblade as she held it, stirring emotions long left cold. It was as if her body began to function in defiance of her brain, giving way to a strong mix of both excitement and anger as her heart rate suddenly increased and the blood began to flow more rapidly through her veins.\n\nA bitter taste would appear in the back of her mouth, combined with a taste of iron; reminiscent to that of old blood.\n\nThousands of almost microscopic rivers of blood began to appear in the palm of her hands holding the Runeblade, as blood was escaping through the pores of her skin; drawn towards the ice cold steel of the blade as if pulled by an invisible force. As the small drops of blood coalesced into the very metal of the blade, the previously dim runes along the Runeblade began to glow in a haunting red light!\n\nIt was an exhilarating feeling that filled Thea, making her feel as if she was once again in the prime of her age! Youthful vigor coursed through her body from the blade, and a faint rage began to light like smoldering charcoal inside of her chest, inspiring violent intent. \n\nWhen she looked at the blade in her hands, a faint, almost inaudible whisper began to haunt her mind, appearing to emanate from the blade itself. It spoke in a mystic and seemingly unintelligible language, completely alien to this world! Yet for some strange reason, it was as though she was granted a perfect, intuitive understanding of what the blade said. Despite not being able to comprehend a single word; the meaning was clear!\n\nIt invited her to grip harder around the black wooden handle of the Runeblade; now warm to the touch; and swing it!", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" }, { "text": "\"We uh…came to an agreement\" Liaena said evasively in response to the High Elf's question. Serphia did not appear to be paying much attention to the three, far more preoccupied as she was with Falere as the girl gave him an apologetic look. \"You'll have to stay small for a while, I'm afraid. I blew up the antidote\"\n\n\"By the Light!\" Damon cursed as the horrible decayed head of the now very much ex-Death Knight was flung at him with hardly a word of warning. Juggling the slightly squishy, soggy object between both gauntlets, he finally managed to get a grip and prevent it falling to the floor as he gave Aleena a dark glare. \"Very funny, Keldorei\"\n\n\"Priestess Thea?\" Kathlin enquired in a tone of concern as she studied the priestess' back that had suddenly gone rigid. The only thing moving about her was her right hand, as fingers curled around the handle \"Are you feeling alright?\"\n\n\"Oooh, and I want an inscription on it too! Maybe….hmmm….. 'Slayer of the Degenerate'?\"\n\n\"Sounds lame\" \nLithrielle remarked with a giggle. Aleena shot her a dirty look. \"Shut up, it's awesome. And I want it written in silver. None of that etched rubbish. Put it on the list, human\"\n\n\"Priestess….\"\n\n\"Oh, is there going to be a parade? Maybe in her honour!\"\n\n\"Would you all just SHUT UP!\" \nThea screamed at the top of her voice. Kathlin balked, taking a step back. Damon swivelled towards her in shock and Aleena gave her an affronted look. \"What?\"\n\n\"Get away from me, Fool\" The priestess cursed. Veins were standing out all over the woman's face, and her tense body was shaking from the strain. The hand that was holding the runeblade was clenched into a battle position, irrespective of the fact that the giant blade was by rights far too heavy for her. \n\n\"Make me!\"\n\n\"….Really not helping right now!\" \nKathlin said nervously. The girl took one step towards the priestess, a move that was immediately forestalled by Damon's heavy armour plated hand landing on her shoulder. \"Drop the blade, Thea\"\n\n\"Do – not – tell – me…back off. NOW\" Thea groaned. Lines of blood were visibly seeping from her pores, to soak into the runeblade that was glowing increasingly brightly by the moment as Damon circled her slowly. \"I will teach you incompetent morons a – AGHHH!\"\n\nDamon had lashed out, knife in his hand suddenly glowing with golden light as he slashed at the priestess's hand. Fingers springing open, the runeblade clattered to the floor as Thea crumpled to her knees with a cry of pain. Kathlin dived down to come to her aid as Damon slammed the tip of his armoured boot into the hilt of the blade, sending it spinning off into a corner to come to rest their innocently. \n\n\"So yeah. We're staying at the Cathedral for a while until some of the storm blows over. Thea's giving us a hand with Serphia's PR….\" Liaena said cheerfully as she pushed the door open into the room, Sharon now riding on her shoulder. The girl paused, to stare in surprise at the sight before her; Thea on the ground, Kathlin assisting her, Damon sheathing a knife with a grim expression and Aleena and Lithrielle with twin 'WTF' looks on her face. \"….what did we miss?\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"I blew up the antidote\"\n\n\"Among other things... \" Rithrynn said with a slight smirk as she hovered over Liaena's head, staring down at the tiny High Elf. As Liaena left the room with Sharon sitting on her shoulder, Rithrynn would pause mid-step to glance back over her shoulder at Serphia.\n\n\"Is there anything else you might need, mistress?\"\n\nThe Sentinel would inquire as she stared back at her Captain which was spread all over the bed. Serphia muttered something, but it was all turned into gibberish and twisted into a delightful moan as the Captain suddenly arched her back and reared her big butt into the air! Presumably because the berserking Falere just went on a great dive deep into the depths of the Captain's lustful rear.\n\nSmirking, Rithrynn moved over to the door, holding onto the doorway before smiling back at her Captain.\n\n\"I'll leave you two then... \" Rithrynn nodded with a wicked smile, before pausing to think.\n\" ... or, three.\"\n\nShe had almost forgotten about Shani! Yet as she looked at her Captain's big butt, Rithrynn suspected that she might be even deeper than Falere. It was doubtful she would ever see her again in a long, LONG time!\n\nClosing the door shut behind her, Rithrynn would then move on to the next room where the rest of the group was. But she would be surprised when she arrived in the doorway, towering over Liaena, and finally seeing the bizarre scene inside the room!\n\n\"….what did we miss?\"\n\n\"She.... uh... \" Lithrielle would be the first of the two elves in the room to finally speak, the both of them having previously been without word to describe the event, assuming that they had even understood what had happened in the first place.\n\"The old human went sort of crazy with the sword! I think Ali set her off with all her crazy demands!\"\n\nLithrielle explained, still hanging on to Aleena as if she had no idea of what else to do!\n\n\" ... I did no such thing!\" Aleena suddenly protested, glaring back at Lithrielle. \n\"My demands were obviously completely reasonable! It's not like I asked for half the kingdom or something like that for slaying the evil knight!\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

[ { "text": "\"….What is a runeblade doing in the Cathedral?!\"\n\n\"Because that stupid girl brought it in!!\" Damon exploded, stabbing an accusing finger at Aleena. The elf looked obviously very uppity at that, in response to the obviously unwarranted and untrue accusations of stupidity. \"What were you thinking, carrying it around like that!? You could have destroyed one of our own!\"\n\n\"I'm fine…\" Thea muttered belatedly, voice tight with pain where she sat in a heap in the floor. Notwithstanding recent events and the fact that her hand now had a deep gash under the thumb that Kathlin was now poking at, the priestess' voice was weak but steady as she raised her eyes to meet Damon's. \"Go and get help for this, Damon. Tell them to bring gloves, and holy water. Lots of it\"\n\n\"…..\"\n\nNodding gravely after a pause where he gave Aleena one final dirty look, Damon bowed his head to the priestess before backing out of the room. A few brisk paces, followed by running feet could be heard as the paladin rapidly made his escape from the situation. \n\n\"……Soooo…..\" Liaena remarked finally, after a silence that nobody else seemed willing to break. \"what did I miss? Kitty?\"\n\n\"The runeblade activated\" Kathlin remarked matter-of-factly where she wound a bandage around Thea's fingers. \"I….uh, think\"\n\nThat priestess shot her a look. \"….Quite\"\n\nDrawing a shaky breath, Thea looked around the room slowly, before her gaze settled on Liaena. \"Who is that, Rune?\"\n\n\"Oh….uh. Sharon, this is Priestess Thea. General Hardass\" Liaena whispered the last sentence under her breath, before raising her voice to the room together. \"Priestess Thea, this is Sharon Del'dieb—\"\n\n\"Your boyfriend. Obviously\" Thea observed coldly to the room at large, before looking back at Sharon again. \"Dare I ask – how are you involved in this? And why have you been shrunk?\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"And why have you been shrunk?\"\n\n\"That... \" Sharon spoke, before hesitating for a moment as he looked at Thea.\n\" ... is a long story.\"\n\nIndeed, the older Priestess seemed more than eager to put the attention on someone else after her little incident with the Runeblade, something which was quite understandable. \n\n\"So this is the woman Liaena has been complaining about.\"\n\n\"I partook in the raid on Honor's Watch. The capture of your apprentice, Kathlin, was partly the result of a personal feud of mine. I therefore brought together allies, including the Night Elves that you have met already, to create a force that could penetrate the keep and save her.\"\n\nSharon explained in his usual calm manner, motioning towards Kathlin as he spoke of the captured apprentice. \n\n\"As for my current... stature, it was simply convenient at the time of the infiltration.\" Sharon reasoned, nodding his head as he left out the bit where Liaena had blown up her potion supply, including the antitode!\n\"I am not much of a climber. And as you probably know, the keep is located atop of a tall reef. Fortunately, it was no problem for our Kaldorei friends to scale those walls.\" \n\nSharon motioned towards Aleena and Lithrielle, as well as Rithrynn.\n\n\"Without their help, I doubt we would have been able to save your apprentice before my brother could complete his ritual.\"\n\nAt that time, Sharon felt that any PR capital he could give the Night Elves would be a good thing, as he had a lingering suspicion they would waste it on first occasion! After all, the longer he could keep them from being chased out of the city with torches and pitchforks, the better he would fare against his brother, who after all had his own private army!\n\nThey may have succeeded in their raid on Honor's Keep, but it mattered little if they lost the battle for the public opinion!", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" }, { "text": "\"This stupid girl could kick your ass! As if you'd last five seconds against that Death Knight!\" Aleena yelled grumpily after Damon as the Paladin made his escape from the room, waving her fist and almost threatening to step after him if it hadn't been for the fact that Lithrielle hung to her like a proverbial anchor!\n\n\"Don't be so angry, Ali. He's surely just jealous!\" Lithrielle whispered into Aleena's ear as she hugged the fuming Sentinel harder around her chest from behind.\n\nBack in the doorway however, Rithrynn would soon nod with her head at Sharon's mention of her and her sisters' part in the rescue operation, quickly stepping next to Liaena whilst pointing at Sharon with the back of her thumb.\n\n\"Yup! He organized it. We ran it. And it went flawlessly!\" Rithrynn exclaimed enthusiastically, trying her best to thaw Thea's ice cold expression with her own beamy smile!\n\n\"And it's true what he says about the size thingy! It's soo much more easier to handle him when he is small like that. Rather than having to carry him on your back, we could easily fit him in a pocket or,-\"\n\n\"Does your uniform even have pockets, Ri?\" \n\nRithrynn froze for a moment in her wild babble at the sudden comment from Liaena standing behind her. Gaining a rather awkward as well as annoyed expression, Rithrynn would snap her head around to give Liaena a clear 'shut-it!' expression, before turning back to Thea and continued smiling.\n\n\" ... so, like I said: Much easier to handle! Li is so gifted with potions, and they are quite useful! Even if they do have an awkward tendency of exploding... \"\n\nWhile Rithrynn was trying to impress Thea however, to whatever greater or lesser extent she might actually succeed; though probably much the latter; Lithrielle was gently patting Aleena's hair while trying to calm her down.\n\n\"There there, I'm sure they'll appreciate your effort. They were just a little bit scared by the nasty blade, that's all. And... ohh!\" Lithrielle would suddenly pause when she noticed a small object on the floor next to them, having fallen from Thea when she had fallen under the Runeblade's curse. The small object in particular turned out to be a tiny, miniature human priestess; none other than Bella!\n\nLeaning down while still holding onto Aleena, Lithrielle would pick up Bella, receiving quite a few tiny shrieks and complaints as she stood back up and continued to hug Aleena from behind.\n\n\"Look what I found, Ali! Your old friend!\" Lithrielle said with a cheerful voice while dangling the tiny priestess next to Aleena's grumpy face, trying to brighten the mood of her girlfriend after it had been promptly ruined by Paladin Damon's complete inability to appreciate her obvious triumph and superiority! Though it was no easy task as Aleena continued to ignore her, the Sentinel's gaze locked onto the doorway where Damon had exited! \n\n\"Hmmm, maybe if I... \" Lithrielle chewed on her lips with a thoughtful expression, glancing over at Bella.", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"Hey, put me down. PUT ME DOWN!\" Bella demanded furiously as she swung gently from between Lithrielle's finger. The miniature human pointed an imperious finger at the Night Elf, but could help but quail as she cast a glance at the floor far below her. \"…On the table, or something!\"\n\n\"I've never found a use for them myself. Then again, I've rarely engaged in Guerra warfare\" Thea responded softly to Rithrynn's comment. The priestess cast a glance at the door. \"Is your leader not coming?\"\n\n\"She's….uh, busy\" Liaena responded after a pause. The girl could not help but give a small smirk as she thought about exactly what the Captain was doing. \"With other engagements\"\n\n\"Good\"\n\n\"….Priestess? Priestess Thea!?\" Bella squeaked over from Lithrielle's grasp. Having failed to cheer Aleena up with her words, Lithrielle was now trying more physical methods. As it would obviously not do at all to be wasting a hand in this venture, the human was now being rubbed around Aleena's shoulders and upper back as Lithrielle stroked her consolingly. \"Um, help!?\"\n\n\"…Very well then. Keldorei, please stop molesting my apprentice. Apprentice Lennox, get me a chair, would you?\" Thea pronounced as she clambered up from the floor. Kathlin immediately scooted off to right the one on the floor as she looked at Liaena. \"Apprentice Rune, fix this shrinking problem\"\n\n\"No antidote\"\n\n\"…Just as well then we have a laboratory designed to create antidotes. As opposed to the poisons you usually indulge in\" Thea responded acidly as she sat down. \"Just so we are clear: If Apprentice Silva is mislaid as a result of this, I will expect you to do her chores for her\"\n\n\"…..\"\n\n\"Awww, common AllizzzzzZZZZzzzzz\"\n\nLithrielles commiserating words turned into a snore right in the middle as she suddenly sunk to the floor. Bella gave a squeal of fear that immediately became muffled as the elf landed, with her continuing complaints continuing from under the Night Elf. \"Aw cmon! Get me out of here! This elf smells of wet dog!\"\n\nLiaena meanwhile, gave the room a 'what'? look before hastily stowing her dart gun away. \"What? I said I ran out of antidote. And I was carrying it loaded\"\n\nThe priestess caught sight of the look on Thea's face, before assuming a much more contrite expression. \"…I'll just go, and get that antidote then\"\n\n\"Yes. However….Mr. Dal'dieb, I would like to discuss the fallout of the raid as it were, at some point.\" Thea said, giving that individual a slight nod of the head. \n\"It could wait until later of course if you want to accompany Rune, but time is of the essence\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null } ]

[ { "text": "\"Take care, Liaena.\" Sharon gave Liaena a nod as the girl let the room, the High Elf watching her until she had disappeared out into the hallway.\n\nAs the door was closed behind her, only Thea and Rithrynn would be left in the room together with him. Taking a quick glance over towards the towering Night Elf Sentinel to make sure she was not about to 'accidentally' use the side-table he was standing on as a makeshift chair for the meeting, Sharon's eyes would finally rest on Thea.\n\n\"The White Hand has the initiative in this matter. Anything we say and do will inevitable clash with their own claims.\" Sharon began, walking over to the newspaper, which was absolutely massive compared to the little High Elf.\n\n\"At least I won't be missing the small print from this angle!\"\n\n\"There are pictures in this print, yet they feature only Blood Elves.\" Sharon would note, pointing at the images of some of the deceased Blood Knights.\n\n\"While the White Hand may prove the involvement of the Blood Elves, seeing as they have their bodies in their possession, none of Serphia's own Night Elven band of warriors died or were captured in the attack. Most of footprints they left behind were arrowheads or broken weapon pieces at best, most of which is available in market stalls around Stormwind anyway. The White Hand may know that we attacked, but they lack strong evidence beyond eyewitnesses; all of whom are with the White Hand and thus biased. I do not believe any civilians nor members of the Stormwind's Royal Guard saw the Night Elves, either when they entered or fled the keep.\"\n\nRubbing his cheek with the back of his finger as he studied the text, Sharon nodded to himself as he was seemingly deep within his own thoughts.\n\n\"They can prove the Blood Elves involvement, but not the involvement of the Night Elves. I doubt the White Hand will seek to turn this into a racial conflict, as Captain Serphia and her warband are not the only Night Elves in Stormwind either. We have an embassy, and at least couple of hundred Night Elves who live in Stormwind, even though their presence was somewhat reduced with the destruction of the garden district. Many of the citizens have seen Serphia and her warband, and she has caused the city a fair bit of distraught, yet I doubt there's more than a few who actually know about her character. If the White Hand wants to use public opinion against Serphia and her elves, they will first have to introduce her to the public. A process which will take time. It may be best that she leaves the Cathedral. The sanctuary of the church may offer protection, but it will also draw attention to them.\"\n\nThe High Elf reasoned, before looking up at Thea and Rithrynn.\n\n\"We have some evidence in the form of pictures taken by Apprentice Kathlin and the Runeblade, but that will most likely only be enough to gain an investigation, which alone is not enough to fell the White Hand. To do so, we must dig deeper; down to that which truly makes the White Hand, their assets. Honor's Watch is their headquarters, but most of their operations are run far out in the sea. I am starting to suspect that the answers we seek may not be in Stormwind at all.\"\n\nSharon knew that the White Hand was a maritime protection service with strong ties to other maritime trading and production companies that operated far from the borders of the Kingdom of Stormwind. The White Hand's massive rise could never be explained by simply investigating them at home, what with most of their business being far away from the watchful eyes of the Throne.\n\nPart of Sharon shuddered to think what kind of sorts of secrets might lie behind the White Hand, knowing what he did of his brother's dark past, but he knew that they would eventually have to face them if they ever wished to understand the White Hand.", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" }, { "text": "\"It does not help that your retinue is so strikingly unlikeable,\"\n\n\"It's not our fault that the citizens of this city are so strikingly culturally intolerant!\" Rithrynn was quick to respond, placing an hand on her chest as her eyes narrowed on Thea.\n\"I'm sorry we prevented the assassination of Li and her boyfriend, infiltrated an evil organization and crashed a dark ritual intended to sacrifice one of your own apprentices!

Thankfully, her efforts were soon rewarded as her hand came out with a very, very dishevelled and sweaty Bella. \"Are you alright, Bella\"\n\nGasping for breath, Bella stared into the near distance with a distinctly vacant expression on her face. \"….I've seen things.\"\n\n\"Ah. Well. You've seen it before\" Kathlin said, with a poor attempt at sounding consolidatory. It did very little to comfort the little human, who craned around to give her a death glare.\n\"This never happened. Never. Have you got that?\"\n\nKathlin opened her mouth to stay something, before aborting it to stare up the corridor as the sound of thudding footsteps entered her awareness. Moments later, three Paladins rounded the corner with two Priests chasing along behind, Paladin Damon in the middle and leading. \"Move aside! Go upstairs, Apprentice. This isn't a good place for you\"\n\n*\n\nIn the room where Thea and Sharon sat, the quiet was abruptly ended as the door slammed open and Damon and his retinue stormed into the room.

You should come with us. The Bishop will need a report of what has happened\"\n\n\"You should probably have a check-up too, Thea\" the priest chipped in at this.

[ { "text": "\"It should be around here somewhere….\"\n\n\"It's on the other side of the Cathedral actually\" Kathlin piped up helpfully from underneath Serphia's elbow. \n\nThe girl, absolutely dwarfed in comparison to the big Serphia, was bobbing along to keep pace with the group as she smiled at Rithrynn. \"It used to be down here, but somebody flooded the crypt with swamp gas.

Take me this rear entrance!\" Serphia said, extending her arm and motioning for Kathlin to lead on, before her eyes suddenly narrowed down on the smaller human priestess.\n\" ... and what is that supposed to mean?\"\n\nFortunately however, before the Captain could make any assumptions about the priestess own assumed assumptions about the former's assets, Serphia's eyes would be drawn towards Rithrynn, who was patting herself as though she was trying to put out some invisible fire!\n\n\"Syn'dial? What's wrong?\"\n\n\"Oh! Nothing!\" Rithrynn immediately reacted, standing up straight as if everything was alright, before slowly leaning her head as she looked aside.\n\"Erhm, well... I sorta lost the tiny High Elf... kind'a... \"\n\n\"Can you do nothing... huh?\" Resting her hands on her powerful hips, Serphia was about to exclaim, when suddenly she noticed a tingling sensation between her breasts. Raising a brow with a perplexed look on her face, the Captain would dig into her own cleavage to unearth a disheveled tiny High Elf.\n\n\"Oh, mistress, you found him!\" Rithrynn exclaimed cheerfully, whilst taking a careful step towards her Captain.\n\n\"I should've known he was there!\"\n\nSerphia, on the other hand, did not say a word at first. The Captain merely stared at the High Elf dangling in front of her face with two big, glowing silvery eyes.\n\n\"This... is the second time you've ended up close to me, Quel'Dorei. Are you sure you are really into humans, and not Keldorei?\" Serphia suddenly asked, a mischievous grin appearing on her face. At this point, Rithrynn was desperately holding out her hand to the Captain, eventually succeeding in gaining her notice.\n\"Maybe try asking next time.\"\n\nDropping Sharon into Rithrynn's hand, Serphia turned her attention around to motion at some of the passing Night Elves in the corridor to form up behind them before finally looking back to Kathlin.\n\n\"Lead the way then, human. I have already infiltrated a high security fort tonight, and so highly doubt you could ever come up with any challenge I can't overcome.\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"Lead the way then, human. I have already infiltrated a high security fort tonight, and so highly doubt you could ever come up with any challenge I can't overcome.\"\n\n\"Hmm? Oh, I probably could\" Kathlin responded absently as they wandered down the corridor together. The girl appeared to have taken the incident between Sharon, Serphia and Rithrynn entirely in her stride, as though miniature High Elves got lodged in the bust of Night Elves every day where she came from. \n\nApparently oblivious to any ire she may have sparked in the Captain with her remark, Kathlin turned to Rithrynn with the distinct air of a tour guide. \"It's really quite, uh, impressive the architecture down here. The crypts below the cathedral are quite extensive….records show that consecutive arch-bishops all decided to expand them, until the Cathedral underwent subsidence and they had to stop\"\n\nAs the girl talked the corridor seemed to open out in front of them, as the group walked through an archway into a high roofed vault. It was unlit, with the only light cast being from the lantern that Kathlin carried. From the light it cast, the place appeared to be being used as a little-used store-room of some sort, with extremely dusty crates stacked up the walls on both sides. \"There's lots of stories about secret passages down here going to different parts of the city. You know, in case the Cathedral was attacked. It never was of course\" Kathlin added in a confidential tone as she turned a corner to walk into a side room. \"It's terribly easy to get lost down here though, so it's out of bounds to apprentices. So, Li and I came down here once, and uh….got lost\"\n\nThe room she had led them appeared to be for all intents and purposes a dead end, again lined with crates and boxes. There was however a distinctly musky smell in the air of this room, almost of damp. \n\nKathlin walked forward to grab onto one of the larger crates, a vast wooden one sitting against the wall on the far side. Large it might have been, but it could not have been fully filled as the girl managed to drag it away from the wall with only some expenditure of effort on her part. \n\nThe musky damp smell intensified in the room as the crate was pushed to one side. Where it had been, a jagged break in the stone wall could now be seen, large enough to comfortably fit a little girl….or extremely uncomfortably, maybe a Night Elf. \n\nThe hole led only to a dark void, from which the unpleasant smell was coming. Kathlin walked confidently over to it, to stick her head out and glance around before looking back at the Night Elves. \"I don't think anyone else knows about this, but it's twenty minutes maybe tops to the trade district if you follow the route of the Canal. Oh and there is a giant squid around here……\"\n\nKathlin paused as she appeared to rethink her next comment, as her eyes settled on the large sword Serphia had at her side. \"You need to promise me not to hurt him. He's terribly tame, really\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null } ]

[ { "text": "\"Nope. Thea has her\" Kathlin uttered from somewhere below Rithrynn's head, the girl wedged tightly into Rithrynn's cleavage. At least the curve of her body offered some space for the human to shelter in, to save her from being crushed completely. \"Don't worry. This part isn't so far…\"\n\nAt her words there was an audible 'pop' from in front of them as Serphia finally burst out of the crevice. A wave of pungent fumes washed over those still struggling, as new air was finally allowed to enter the crevice…although one could hardly call it 'fresh'. A few moments later, the struggling of the latter Night Elves was enough to propel Rithrynn and Kathlin out into one of the subterranean canals that ran through Stormwind, aka the sewers. Fortunately, there was an extremely narrow ledge that was elevated out of the murky water, presumably to allow maintenance. Unfortunately, there was impatient Night Elves right behind the pair. \n\n-SPLASH-\n\n\"Careful, there isn't much space\" Kathlin remarked both helpfully and belatedly as Naliyah sat in her ass in the filthy water, coughing and making expressions of disgust. Rithrynn and her captive/companion human on the other hand, were floating an inch above the surface of the murky liquid. The former edged back towards the ledge, to step back on it and beat a hasty retreat down the tunnel after her Captain before Naliyah regained her senses enough to try and even the score. \n\n\"So, which way to Li?\"\n\n\"…Er, back the way we came, actually\" Kathlin explained meekly. The girl shifted in order to give a slight shrug to acknowledge her receipt of the stare she was getting from Rithrynn. \"This is the way to the Trade District. I was going to go and find her. But you wanted me to come along, so…\"\n\n\"…..\"\n\n\"…she'll probably come join us when she's ready, anyway\" Kathlin added belatedly, after apparently considering the matter internally for a moment. \"You should tell your Captain that it's going to be the second manhole from here. Oh and er….that might be a bit tight as well\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "During the trip, Rithrynn was in hardly any better position than that of Kathlin, or at least so she imagined, spending most of her time with her head or shoulder pressed up against her Captain's large rear end, a human below her, narrow walls all around her and the cold top of the helmet of the sentinel behind her constantly prodding her butt!\n\n\"Why couldn't we just take the front door?! ... \"\n\nRithrynn thought to herself, bemoaning the uncomfortable journey through the earth.\n\nFinally reaching the end of the small tunnel, Rithrynn would be too consumed with her personal annoyance about the tunnel that she completely failed to react when she was suddenly pushed out of the hole alongside Kathlin!\n\n\"Eluuune!\" \n\nShortly afterwards, Rithrynn would find herself staring wide eyed down towards a revolting, murky and smelly river of raw sewage, containing all manner of foulness! Her look of shock would soon be replaced with that of disgust. It took a while for the Sentinel to actually realize that she was floating in the air, and she let out a sigh of relief as she was levitated towards the edge.\n\nAleena, on the other hand, had not been as lucky; sitting in the despicable river of sewage and voicing an impressive vocabulary of darnassian swear words and derogatory terms to nobody in particular!\n\n\"Thanks for the save... \" Rithrynn would utter to Kathlin whom accompanied her. She would have taken a deeper breath, if it hadn't been for the fact that they were still in the sewer, and the air was very much despicable in every possible way conceivable!\n\nBehind them, most of the rest of the sentinels emerging from the crevice, although a scream followed by chorus of hate could be heard as at least one of the sentinels accidentally fell into the river alongside Aleena!\n\n\"This isn't the time to be taking a swim, girls! Hurry up!\" \n\nSerphia's voice could be heard through the tunnel, calling back to her sisters. Apparently she was not amused by those who had taken a dive in the sewer.\n\n\"I suppose we'll have to meet her somewhere... \" Rithrynn reasoned in reference to Liaena, whom Kathlin said was still behind.\n\"I just hope she doesn't get herself into more trouble. She seems to have a knack for that kind of thing.\"\n\nRithrynn spoke as they fell in behind Serphia who was marching through the sewer at a steady pace, eyeing the manholes over them. \n\n\"What do you think, Shaw?\"\n\n...\n\n\"Shaw?\"\n\nAfter a moment of silence, Rithrynn would turn to look over to her shoulder, suddenly realizing that Sharon was no longer anywhere to be seen on her shoulderplate. Eyes widening, Rithrynn's head would snap back to Kathlin!\n\n\"Have you seen Sharon?!\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"Nope\" Kathlin uttered quietly, following Rithrynn's line of gaze to stare at the extremely empty shoulder epaulet. \"Maybe he fell in the sewer? If he was separated from us when you fell earlier, my levitate spell wouldn't have included him…it requires touch range\"\n\n\"Dammit! Shaww! SHAWWW!\"\n\n\"Then again, he does have his teleport spells, doesn't he?\" \nKathlin added consolingly as Rithrynn turned around to start heading down the tunnel again back the way they had come. Cries of anger from the Night Elves that had been following them, showed very clearly their displeasure with Rithrynn attempting to push past them on the narrow ledge. \"What are you doing!? Get back in line!\"\n\nOne of them, Aleena, still dripping with sludge from her impromptu bath in the sewer, gave Rithrynn a good hard shove as the latter attempted to bulldoze past her. Feet sliding on the slimy stone cobbles, the Night Elf slipped with a scream into the sewer – only to start floating once more in mid-air as a levitate spell arrested her fall. \n\nMeanwhile, down at the tail end of the queue of Night Elves, one of the elves apparently got fed up waiting for whatever was taking place up at the top and started to push forcefully at the girls in front of her. Feeling the effects of this up at the top, Aleena squealed as the elf right behind slammed into her and both started to fall towards the sewer!\n\n\"Ah…mind yourself , please\"\n\nKathlin gasped as she grabbed onto Aleena's shoulder, just as the elf fell past her on the way to a beautiful belly-flop. Both elves, both Aleena and the other she was tangled up with immediately stopped in mid-air, to also bob along above the sewer water. Kathlin gently disentangled herself from Rithrynn to step onto the ledge and safety, the strain of holding up three large Night Elves plus armour clearly showing on her face as she dragged the others after her. \"Would you mind just holding still? Else…\"\n\n\"This is your fault, stupid! Your monkies brought us into this cess pit!\" Aleena cursed as she lashed out, clobbering Rithrynn across the chest with a sodden stinking fist. As the blow struck, the levitate spell dissolved around them and all three elves plummeted downwards, to land with an almighty great SPLASH. \n\n\"….you might, er, disrupt the spell\"\n\nKathlin finished pensively as she glanced around the sewer. Humming a tune under her breath, she raised a hand that began to glow with a golden light. In the light cast by it, her eyes settled on a tiny elf that carefully ventured out of a corner now that the chaos on the ledge had abated somewhat. \"Oh, hello Mr. Dal'dieb. Rithrynn will be glad that you're safe\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null } ]

[ { "text": "While most of the Sentinels had been initially startled when Aleena had suddenly been grabbed and pulled into the murky water by a pair of dark, large tentacles, the mood would eventually shift to that of a more light hearted one as Aleena was spat back onshore, with some of the Sentinel snickering quietly at Sharon's comment though they would never admit it. \n\nAmong the few who weren't smiling was Aleena herself, who simply sat on the sidewalk; looking both disgusted and surprised as she merely stared blankly back at the water!\n\n\"Well, that's our Aleena... she does go do stupid things and somehow survive.\" Ashira would comment with a slight snicker at Sharon's comment, looking down at the flabbergasted Aleena below.\n\nEventually however, the initial motions would wear off, and Aleena would get a new look on her face as her eyes grew more clear, a look that was one of pure, primeval rage and a desire for righteous murder!\n\n\"I HAVE HAD IT!\" She would suddenly exclaim as she shot to her feet, now brandishing her sword and long dagger in a dual wield stance, slicing the razor sharp blades against oneanother to the point they generated sparks in the air!\n\"ONE OCTOPI FILLET COMING RIGHT UP, GIRLS! I'LL TURN THIS SLUDGE-DWELLING JELLYFISH INTO A THOUSAND FISH SIZED PIECES!\"\n\nAleena said, walking towards the edge as if she was planning to jump right in whilst brandishing her weapons. She wouldn't get far however before Lithrielle would intervene, throwing herself around Aleena and pulling her backwards.\n\n\"No, wait, it's not worth it, Aleena!\"\n\n\"AARGHH! DO NOT COME BETWEEN THE HUNTRESS AND HER PRAY! I DEMAND THE RIGHT TO KILL THE BEAST!\" Aleena roared as she waved her swords, struggling against Lithrielle's grip. It wouldn't be until Rithrynnn arrived to help Lithrielle pull Aleena away from the edge that the two finally succeeded in dragging the furious Night Elf with them!\n\n\"Stop playing with the native marine life, girls!\" Serphia's voice could suddenly be heard across the sewer as she appeared around the next corner and threw her sentinels an impatient look. \n\nIt was enough to make the rest of the Sentinels quickly tear their eyes off the pool and the mysterious squid living in it, to all hurry after their Captain!\n\n... all except Aleena, whom had to be constrained by at least three other elves as she was pulled after the party!\n\nAfter a while of trekking through the sewer however, they would eventually reach a small iron gate beneath one of the numerous bridges spanning the canal of Stormwind. Kicking the door out, the party was relieved as they walked out into the fresh morning air of the city. Or well, at least out from the stinky air of the sewer to the less-stinky air of the canal!\n\n\"Let us NEVER take the sewer ever again... \" Rithrynn muttered with a defeated look on her face, grimacing as she dared to sniff her shoulder.\n\nSerphia looked around, noticing how some of her girls still seemed to carry the stench of the sewer even out into the city as they left the underground behind. Turning to her sisters, she immediately pointed at them.\n\n\"I'll not have you walk around in the city smelling like that! Take a quick bath in the canal while we wait for our missing human.\" Serphia ordered, motioning towards the water of the canal. Indeed, it may not be the cleanest water, but it was still certainly a large improvement over sewage that they had waddled through earlier, and some of them even bathed it!\n\nTurning to look towards Kathlin, Serphia motioned for her the human to follow her as she walked up the steps towards the bridge, looking out across the streets.\n\n\"This is one of the bridges leading to our district. Do you think we'll see your crazy alchemist friend that Rithrynn calls \"Li\" if we stick around?\" She asked, turning to look down at the smaller human next to her.\n\nStanding not far behind Serphia and Kathlin would be Ashira, overhearing some of the conversation. Standing behind the wall along the stairs to the street, she would lean against it and throw the tiny High Elf on her shoulder a sly smile.\n\n\"Sooo, this 'Li' human, how well do you know her?\" Ashira would inquire, leaning her head slightly as she looked at Sharon with a curious smirk.\n\n*\n\nOutside of the gate, when she saw the troop of chevalier-Night Elves, the gate Watcher Delilah would quickly assume an even stricter stance when she spotted Serphia leading them.\n\n\"Mistress, you're back!\"\n\n\"Hiiii there! Can you let us in?\"\n\n\" ... what?\"\n\nSilje-Serphia's surprising tone had left Delilah completely surprised, the Sentinel simply frozen in her salute motion and merely staring up at her Captain with an obvious 'WTF' look on her face!\n\n\"OFH! Uh, I mean... I demand that you let me in right now, Sentinel!\"\n\n\"What!\" Delilah exclaimed, but not so much in response to what Serphia was saying, but to when she noticed the prisoner behind Serphia doing what seemed like nudging her, and the Captain did seemingly nothing in retaliation for the slight!\n\n\"Don't you dare hit Mistress like that, squidface! I will teach you some manners, Den'dweah!\" Delilah exclaimed, furious on the person she thought to be Serphia's behalf, as she pushed herself past the 'Captain' and the nearest chevalier-elf towards the tied up Malizia.", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"…Maybe\" Kathlin said, after a hesitant pause. The girl gave the large Captain a long shrug, that served to demonstrate the futility of ever hoping to predict Liaena's movements. \"She might just have called a cab, and gone back to Mr. Dal'diebs house. We did spend a while down in the sewer, after all\"\n\nThe girl glanced around the canal path they had found themselves on, to observe they were garnering quite considerable amounts of attention – particularly towards those Elves that had been unfortunate enough to find themselves in the sewer water, Aleena and Rithrynn. \"…you are getting stared at, so you might just want to go home. I got the impression you wanted a low profile\"\n\n*\n\nNot so far away, one of the cities hackney carriages clanked to a halt in the slush right outside Sharon's mansion, right next to where the group of 'Night Elves' were trying their best to stop the actual Night Elf defending 'Serphias' honour. A petite girl with black hair was clambering out of it before it had even had time to stop properly, tossing a coin to the driver as she landed in the slush. \nTossing her head to look over at the group of Night Elves, Liaena spared 'Serphia' a single glance as she stepped towards the gate. \"I've got the antidote. Did you….\"\n\n\"….\"\n\nPausing, the little human did a double take as she turned back around to stare at Malizia. \"Who in the Light is that? Are you kidnapping citizens now? If they've kidnapped you…\" (this was to Malizia) \"…I'm sure whatever happened, the elves started it\"\n\nHaving stopped to survey Malizia, Liaena cast her eyes over the rest of the elves. 'Serphia' was still preoccupied with trying to hold Delilah back, alternating apologies and weak orders. \"….where's Rithrynn? And Sharon? Did you leave them back at the Cathedral or something?\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null } ]

[ { "text": "\"I got the impression you wanted a low profile\"\n\n\"Mostly from the humans of the Cathedral, which I think we managed just fine... \" Serphia would mutter, not quite wanting to admit that things may not have gone exactly as she might have hoped it would.\n\nIndeed, while they may have successfully evaded the notice of the church, they were nonetheless gathering attention. Mostly Serphia herself, but some of the bystanders passing over the bridge would stop to look down and notice Rithrynn and Aleena's futile attempts at cleaning themselves beneath the bridge.\n\n\"You are probably right about your friend. There is no point waiting around. GIRLS!\" Serphia said to Kathlin before turning about and shouting out loudly to the rest of the sentinels.\n\"Form up on me, we're moving out!\"\n\nIt did not take long for the rest of the sentinels to quickly scurry up the stairs and arrive behind Serphia, ready to head out. Although whether intentionally or not, but most likely the former, most of the sentinels gave Aleena and Rithrynn a wide berth! The stench of sewage could be smelled all the way to the front, something which made Serphia wrinkle her nose. \n\nFortunately, although they hadn't managed to escape notice of the bystanders, there weren't that many around this early in the morning.\n\nWith a single motion with her hand, Serphia ordered the rest of her sentinels in a quick march back towards the mage district and the mansion. Kathlin, with her shorter legs, might have found herself having to almost run just to keep up with the elves as they marched through the streets.\n\n\"Move fast, girls. Once we arrive back at the mansion, a hot meal and bath will be promised to everyone!\"\n\nWhile they were walking however, Ashira's attention would be mostly fixed on Sharon, the Sentinel listening intently to what the High Elf had to say while studying him with great interest.\n\n\"She sounds like a great girl, but how do you think she compares to that of a real Night Elven woman?\" Ashira would inquire, smiling slyly down at Sharon while gently poking him with a finger.\n\n*\n\nWhen \"Ashira\" took the initative of hitting Malizia over the head, Delilah's ire seemed to disappear a bit, and the sentinel quickly gave Lisa-Ashira a nod of approval at the action!\n\nBut hitting Draenei was one thing. It was easy, straightforward, simple. What was none of those things would be the awkward conversation that was taking place outside of the gate, especially with the added arrival of Liaena and the odd behavior of the rest of her sisters. Delilah found herself spending half her time simply scratching the back of her ear, trying to make sense of it all!\n\n\"By Elune, the mission must have been rough on them or something!\"\n\nIt was not until Silje-Serphia's mood suddenly grew darker and the \"Captain\" spoke to her in Darnassian that Delilah's ears would finally perk up, and she'd quickly open the gate and lead them on through.\n\n\"Ohh, yes, of course mistress! Right this way please!\"\n\n\"She never usually calls me just 'Sentinel'... what gives?\"\n\nHaving opened the gate and as they were matching through the front garden, Delilah would turn to look up towards her \"Captain\" while starting to explain, occasionally changing glances between her, \"Rithrynn\" and Liaena.\n\n\"We've been anxious for your arrival a long time now! Some of the girls were almost worried something had happened, but I of course never doubted you! Most of them are still incapacitated to various degrees, the festivities not having been gentle.\" Delilah would explain as they walked towards the main door, before also throwing a glance at \"Rithrynn\" again.\n\"And, I think Naliyah has been getting pretty bored without Rithrynn around, if you know what I mean, mistress... \"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"Huh. I suppose it's less fun for her when they're too drunk to fight back\" Liaena commented sardonically from where she walked beside \"Rithrynn\". \n\nThe girl glanced up with a slight smirk to gauge the Night Elf's reaction at this, who if anything appeared to be slightly confused \"….uh…right\"\n\nAs the group approached the curtain still hanging over the door, Delilah darted ahead to pull it aside and usher her captain through. The group entered into the atrium, which appeared much the same as it had as they left, except with more empty plates and bottles scattered around. One elf was lying on some cushions scattered across the floor, who looked as though she was in the throes of a particularly evil hangover as she raised an arm to wave it at the group. \"Haaaaai….Mistress. Urrrghh…\"\n\n\"Rithrynn, where's Sharon?\" Liaena muttered to the Night Elf she was walking next to as she also stepped through the doorway. The girl was scanning the group for any sign of the little High Elf – but no, no sign of him – not to mention that he would have made himself known to her anyway. \"Don't tell me you lost him again?\"\n\n\"Not to mention the Public Relations disaster….again\"\n\nThe girl thought to herself as she studied the bound Malizia where Serphia was leading her, right ahead of them, before turning to hiss at Rithrynn once more. \"And why did you let them parade a white hand mercenary through the city in broad daylight!? The whole POINT was that you lot – hadn't – been – seen – fighting – them! Think about what the papers are going to make of this! Jeez…\"\n\n\"Um, is there a problem?\"\n\n\"…..\"\n\nLiaena couldn't help but stare as Serphia loomed over her, having addressed her in a tone she had previously believed the Night Elven Captain wasn't even capable of. \"…Yeeees. I was wondering why you have that Draenei?\"\n\n\"I demand you release me at once! I demand – urk!\"\n\nAs Malizia had opened her mouth to start yelling again, Liaena had withdrawn her dart gun, stepped forward and shot the large draenei in the butt at point blank range. The \"White Hand\" toppled forward with a surprised look on her face, only for her fall to be arrested as she began to levitate in mid-air and started snoring loudly. Liaena meanwhile turned back to \"Serphia\" with a carefully sculpted submissive expression on her face. \"I thought she might be disturbing your warriors rest, Captain\"\n\n\"No shouty, mrwhhh…..\"\n\n\"Exactly\" Liaena bobbed her head at the unhappy Night Elf in the corner, who glowered at her before lowering her face back to the floor to continue groaning to herself. \"So….how did you capture this White Hand? Was there a fight between here and the Cathedral?\"\n\nThe girl glanced around at the group, of which the Night Elves looked conspicuously unhurt. \"You clearly got the best of it, if you did\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null } ]

[ { "text": "\"Uh….right. Sure\" Liaena muttered in response to \"Sharon\" aka Valion. Wiping a hand across her eyes, the girl placed one hand on the back of the chair to steady herself.\n\n\"It's been a long day….or two. I should get some rest\"\n\nShrugging away the sensation, Liaena gave the tiny High Elf a smile as she lowered a hand to pick him up and place him on her shoulder. \"Sure, that sounds good. Just give me a second…\"\n\nReaching down to Malizia, Liaena produced a small vial to uncork it and trickle a measure into the Draenei's mouth. In a moment, the 'chevalier' was as small as Valion, Liaena picking her up as she glanced at Serphia quickly to gauge her reaction. \"You'll find your prisoner easier to contain like this. Did you want Rithrynn to take her, or…\"\n\n\"….\"\n\n\"…Or maybe I could? Ok, sure? I can do that\" Liaena concluded, after her analysis of Serphia indicated the Sentinel was paying no attention to her whatsoever. The girl turned to waggle her eyebrows at Rithrynn as she gestured with her eyes towards the Captain. \"Is she drunk?\"\n\nSerphia had to have drunk all the communion wine in the Cathedral based on her current behaviour, and Rithrynn was studiously avoiding her gaze. The depths of whatever stupidity had occurred on their journey between Cathedral and Mansion she had clearly only just begun to plumb, Liaena concluded as she turned away with an eyeroll. \"Fine then. Sharon and I will catch up….Rithrynn, why don't you see if Naliyah's free?\"\n\n\"Hmm? Oh yeah, sounds good!\"\n\n\"…………………….\"\n\nLiaena paused, as what felt like a shiver ran down her spine. The girl turned, to glance between Rithrynn, Serphia and all the other Night Elves in the room as she kept the slight smirk she had been wearing planted firmly on her face. \"Great. See you later then.\"\n\n\"Bye!\"\n\nTurning to walk casually out of the room, Liaena slid the hand on the opposite side of her body from where Valion was riding, into the bag she was carrying. The girl turned her head as she walked, to give the High Elf a soft smile. \"So…did you want that antidote now, or later? Better to get back to normal size sooner, before one of those idiots sits on you\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"There we are, girls! Home sweet home!\" Serphia would exclaim with a sense of accomplishment as she and the rest of her warriors, Kathlin in tow, finally arrived at the outside of the mansion, approaching a steadily more confused Delilah whose eyes kept growing to a bigger and bigger 'DA FUQ?' face.\n\nThe utter confusion on Delilah's face would not even begin to abate until she suddenly smelled some of the disgusting stench of raw sewer that emanated from some of the members of the party!\n\n\"Hello again, Sentinel Delilah. Open the gate! We have been victorious in our quest!\" Serphia exclaimed vigorously and with excitement as she raised a hand to gesture towards Delilah.\n\n\" ... \"\n\n\"We have vanquished the silly monkeys in their fortress - made themselves a mockery right in their very city in front of everyone! ... without being seen our selves, of course!\"\n\n\" ... \"\n\n\"We have... what the fuck is the problem, Delilah?\"\n\nAt that point, Serphia would finally notice the utter look of confusion and astonishment that was plastered onto Delilah's face as she simply gazed up at them, her jaw hanging from her head.

Lithrielle, Vashi, Aleena, Ashira, and all the rest merely shook their heads and shrugged with their shoulders, none of them daring to make any suggestions as to what was going on.\n\nAll except Rithrynn, where the Sentinel's eyes would suddenly widen for a moment as a dreadful memory just struck her...\n\n\"Wait, is this some potion shenanigans reminiscent of Liaena's that's going on?!\"\n\nRithrynn wondered to herself as she went through the possibility. Liaena was not with them after all. What if she had taken a polymorph potion and disguised herself as Captain Serphia - again? Had she arrived before them to infiltrate the mansion and trick the rest of her sisters?\n\nIt was not inconceivable, after all. They had spent a lot of time simply slugging through the detour that had been the sewer, and Rithrynn knew the insideous little human to be capable of such feats.\n\nBut to what end? And who would \"them\" others be? Did Liaena bring friends? Was this an attempt at the Church of the Holy Light to get payback on her and her sisters for messing up their Cathedral? Had a bunch of young apprentices gone rogue, polymorphed into elves and infiltrated their mansion?\n\nRithrynn gazed up at Serphia standing next to her, the Captain's eyes fixed on the gate as it swung open.\n\nIf Liaena had indeed pulled another one of her polymorph potion shenanigans, especially if she had included other co-conspirators, only one thing was sure to happen if the look in Serphia's eyes was anything to judge by...\n\n... heads would roll.", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

Liaena stepped over to remove \"Sharon\" from her shoulder and place him on his desk. \"Here….just a second\"\n\nRummaging inside the bag she was carrying, Liaena eventually withdrew a small vial that she held out to the high elf.

In reality, the girl had now flattened herself against the back wall of Sharon's study. \n\n\"Y…you're dead\" she informed the Reaper, hating how weak and scared her voice had become. Unsurprisingly, the monster had no comeback for this, instead choosing to drift closer in a manner that very pointedly illustrated the invalidity of her statement. \n\nHow could this have happened!? How long had she been unconscious? Was Sharon still out there somewhere, fighting Sherpa, or….Liaena did not want to consider that other option. The sensation of dread constricted further at the thought. \n\nThe thing she was facing had not conducted any aggressive actions other than to drift closer inexorably. She needed a weapon, anything to help her. But her hands were empty, and it was unlikely a potion would assist her with the thing she was facing anyway. \n\nShe had to move. The fear in the command sent to her frozen legs jolted them into life, as she bolted in a desperate attempt to circumferent the Reaper and reach the mouth of the cave they were in.

She had little to no time to try and pull herself together and try and think her way out, as freezingly cold skeletal hands coiled around her neck and midriff – an awakened and somewhat annoyed Malizia hoisting the girl out of the mess of broken wood by the scruff of the neck. \n\nFlailing and writhing in the creatures arms, Liaena lost all sense or pretence at composure to scream with abandon as icy cold mist enveloped her, tendrils invading her eyes, nose and mouth.

The result being that Serphia immediately reached out to grab the blade of the sword in a lighting fast motion, pulling it sideways, before punching the chevalier-elf right in the face with the same hand, knocking her down and dropping the sword - all without ever losing eye contact with Silje-Serphia!\n\n\"And you have the gall to try to lie straight to my face, amidst my own warriors?!

Yet if she tried to think of any of the events that had just occurred within the last ten seconds, it was as though she was unable to find them within her mind; a part of her body telling her that they were there but she just couldn't recover them for some reason.\n\nBut perhaps the thing that would draw Liaena's attention the most would not be the odd sensation, but what she saw in front of her when she opened her eyes.\n\nIn front of her stood Valion, clad in his warped and blackened saronite armor. The elf was no longer shrunk, and in his hand he held a folded winter cloak.\n\n\"Did you truly think it would be that easy?\" Valion spoke from behind his twisted metal mask, his one eye visible through a scar running down the right side. Judging by the way it moved, it seemed as if the High Elf was smirking behind his mask.\n\nThe winter cloak he was holding much like a bag in his hand was sprawling about as if someone was caught inside of it; Kathlin's voice being audible from within it.\n\n\"Hello? Li, are you there? What just happened?!\" Kathlin called out from within the bag.\n\nStill holding the makeshift cloak bag, Valion would move his armored glove a little further down and begin to squeeze on it in front of Liaena's eyes; as soon grunts of discomforts and small shrieks of pain began to emanate from Kathlin within it.\n\n\"Call your friends back, or you will lose one today.\" Valion spoke as he stared back at Liaena from through the scar in his mask.\n\nHowever, while Liaena stood face to face with Valion, everyone else in the room would just see the normal scene of Kathlin, holding her winter cloak, and perhaps looking a little confused at Liaena's odd behavior.\n\n\"Who are you and what did you do to my sister?!\"\n\n\"I DIDN'T DO... \" Lisa-Lithrielle was about to start defending herself, when she soon realized that diplomacy was probably bound to get her nowhere!\n\nRapidly looking around, she would unsling the two ornate scabbards on her back, reaching to grab for the handle of one of the swords!\n\n\"Captain Malizia, your swor,- URK!\"\n\nLisa-Lithrielle would grab a hold of one of the sword's handle and move to unsheath it, but by the time the sword had only reached a couple of inches out of its sheath; the Chevalier elf would immediately freeze up, her eyes growing wide as if someone had just paralyzed her!\n\nThe moment the sword left its sheath, a invisible aura of cold and hopelessness would immediately wash over the room, crawling its way up the spine of every living creature inside the room! It was a dark sensation, as if any sense of happiness or bravery was immediately dimmed in the presence of the cursed object.\n\nLisa-Lithrielle, her eyes having just gone white, began to slowly look down towards the sword she was holding; her hand shaking as if she was trying to fight against some invisible force. \n\nAnd then, without warning, the Runeblade would suddenly fly out of its sheath as if on its own volition! The second Runeblade would fly out of its sheath as well, that one randomly brushing against Lisa-Lithrielle's arm and leaving a deep, bloodied gash! As the two Runeblades zoomed past Rithrynn and Vashi, Lisa-Lithrielle would fall unconscious on the floor, her eyes completely white and a wound on her arm bleeding profusely. \n\nSoaring through the room like missiles, the first Runeblade would head straight for Malizia. As it approached the unconscious Draenei, she would suddenly shoot up an arm; catching the Runeblade mid flight as she got up; spinning around as she catched the other Runeblade as well with mechanical efficiency!\n\nYet as Malizia rose to her feet, she looked different.\n\nHer eyes were still shut and her head hanging to the side, as if she was still asleep, yet her body was moving around in a way similar to that of a marionette being manipulated by invisible strings; moving in unnatural patterns with uneven, twitching motions!\nBeneath and around the collar of her chestplate, a dim blue light could be seen coming from her clothes as a runic tattoo, having been invisible before, suddenly glowed to life with a haunting blue light as it snaked its way up the side of her throat and onto her face!", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"Okay!

That's not good\"\n\n\"My patience is short, my Lady. Now\"\n\n\"They don't listen to me!!\" Liaena hissed back frantically, the shrieks of Silje-Serphia still echoing through the room. The girl pulled out the dart gun, to hunt around for another clip as she kept her eyes fixed on Valion.\n\n\"Sorry, what?\" Kathlin called as she darted over to where Lisa-Lithrielle had collapsed on the floor. Momentarily confused at how to contain Valion, she settled for pinning the 'sack' to the ground with her knee as she bent over Lisa-Lithrielle. \"Double oh dear. That looks infected\"\n\nFrom Liaena's perspective, the world was becoming increasingly blurry and confused. Valion was clearly still there, but the illusion now had to make more changes to their surroundings to avoid including Kathlin clearly non-captured, and now also Malizia, puppeted by dark magic. The magical solution was to reduce the amount of information coming in, which is what led to the daze she now found herself in. One other person that was still clear however was Serphia, even if the illusion showed her still engrossed in jamming Sije-Serphia's head into the wooden desk repeatedly, as opposed to rising to meet the new challenger. \n\n\"STOP! Just STOP!!\"\nFinally having managed to load the dart gun, Liaena turned as she cried out to empty the clip into Serphia's large and ample backside. Hardly registering the result, the girl spun around to face Rithrynn – or at least where she perceived the elf to be – holding another vial in her hand in a decidedly threatening manner.

The disturbing lightness of her satchel said a lot about exactly why she had chosen not to begin with something more explosive, and it wasn't anything to do with potential Rithrynn-related collateral damage. \"And get a move on!\"\n\nSkidding out of the door to the room she had created a door too from the study, Liaena almost crashed headlong into the strange Draenei that had apparently appeared out of nowhere during her brief stint in Lala-Land. Reservations towards random strangers showing up her house notwithstanding, Liaena could help but be impressed as the woman tore a giant strip of wood out of the door – already mostly shredded by Malizia's attentions – and hurled it over-arm down the corridor at the Death Knight. \n\n\"Lady mage, please block her way with some magic... please! I cannot allow her to escape again, I beg you!!!\"\n\n\"Feel like going faster then?\"\n\n\"…..\"\n\nMei seemed to only barely notice Liaena's presence at this point, giving her an odd look. \"Wh…\"\n\nIn one motion, the girl grabbed the back of the Draenei's jerkin – just above the belt, Mei truly dwarfed Liaena – and gave a sharp push forward. With the first touch, the Draenei felt herself undergo weightlessness as her feet bobbed off the ground. The push saw the Draenei careen forwards, completely unrestricted by gravity under the spell as she flew down the corridor after Malizia. The warrior was travelling far faster in her condition than Malizia could run, even if she was only barely in control of her own trajectory.\n\n-CRASH-", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null } ]

While the cut was nothing major in and of itself, the moment the naked blade of the Runeblade touched and pierced Mei's skin, it was as though a frigid chill shot like a shock through her arm, temporarily leaving her muscles there numb and unresponsive.\n\nThis created a small window of oppertunity that was all Malizia needed in order to get free from the brutish Draenei's lock and back away, before reaching back to unsheath her second runeblade!\n\nIn the meantime, Sharon had been desperately trying to hold on to Mei's hair while also trying to avoid being caught under either of the two combatans as the two large women had just tumbled a bit down the stairs. Regaining his balance on Mei's shoulder just in time to see Malizia reach for her other Runeblade, he would quickly point his silver staff at her hand and utter a single word:\n\n\"Ruth!\"\n\nAnd with that word of enchantment, a kinetic blast shot out from the tip of his staff, hitting Malizia's left hand just as she unseathed the Runeblade. This caused it to be blown back, losing its grip around the handle and leaving the second Runeblade to tumble down the stairs!\n\nHaving lost one of her Runeblades, Malizia's eyes soon flared with anger, as she noticed the annoying little High Elf on Mei's shoulder. But before she could bring her first Runeblade about in a strike, a gust of fire suddenly burst up from the middle of the stairwell, mostly aimed at her! \nRaising one arm to shield her face, she swiped her blade around, summoning a frigid blast that extinguished the gust of flame from Vashi! However, as soon as the flames had been quenched, another fireball soon made its way up the middle of the stairwell. \n\n\"Leave me be!\" Malizia cried out, clearly frustrated at this point!\n\nHowever, the fireball that made its way up towards them was no ordinary gust of flame. Instead, it was an explosive fireball, which was made abundantly clear as it suddenly detonated with a violent force behind Malizia, blasting her forward and right into Mei, who in turn was pushed forward by the flying Draenei to fly up to the top of the stairwell, smashing into the wall!\n\nPasted face to face into Mei, Malizia would pull her face back. At first, the Death Knight would narrow her eyes to cast a vicious glare at Mei and Sharon, before they suddenly opened in a more surprised look as the two Draenei soon found themselves peeling off the wall, and instead began falling down through the middle of the stairwell!\n\n\"I'll solve this!\" Sharon replied, quickly casting a slow fall spell on Mei, causing all of them to suddenly fall much slower in the air, almost rolling about mid air!\n\n\"Look, can you both just take a break for a moment? This is my house! I'd prefer if you did not break it any further!\" Sharon called out to the two struggling combatants. A battle of good vs evil be damned, at this rate there'd be nothing left of his mansion much longer!\n\nEspecially if Vashi continued playing with fire...\n\n\"And YOU! Yes, you, Vashi. Stop that! Stop!\" Sharon said as he hung up side down from Mei, pointing at Vashi, and then at some of the walls and steps of the stairwell which at this point had been singed.\n\nThe slow fall spell would not last for very long however, as Malizia, realizing that they had stopped, raised a fist and punched Mei right in the face, breaking the spell and causing all three of them to fall at full speed once more down towards the spectating apprentices and Night Elf Mage below!", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" }, { "text": "What a curious situation this was, Mei thought.

Ahhh the handicap of not wearing any armor right now… Mei right away prepared to fight as Melizia reached for her second runeblade, but luckily that was stopped by the tiny elf mage on her shoulder.\n\n As the blasts of fire were hurled towards the death knight, she quickly used the moment the enemy was distracted to stand up from the ground. Both her wounds were hurting and probably would have been interfering with the movement of most people, but for her it was just a mild annoyance for the moment. What she didn't expect was that the second fire blast exploded and propelled the death knight at her and then both of them up the stairs and into the walls.\n \n They sure enough found themselves face to face, the two draenei, desiring to kill each other. As the death knight pulled her face slightly away, Mei quickly prepared to headbut Melizia, but that was stopped when they once again found themselves falling down the middle of the stairs.\n\n \"Sadly can't help it, mister tiny elf mage.\" Mei replied when Sharon stopped their fall with his magic. She had barely any time to react when she was punched in the face by Melizia. As they began falling down yet again, Mei roared in rage using the fact the death knight was under her. Her eyes narrowed in anger, her muscles tensed up as she suddenly spun around in midair by masterfully altering her center of gravity and using the centrifugal force to spin with great speed. In the next moment she dropped her hoof onto the death knight's head. She was well used to aerial fighting form her days in Northrend… and the fighting on flying mounts and falling down cliffs and the like… Whatever don't kill you, makes you stronger right? \" Die… death knight!\" She roared as after the first dropkick, she was already doing the second spin to directly stomp the enemy under her as they were going to land.", "username": "rivaan", "char_name": "Meirie Leran" }, { "text": "\"And YOU!

Was she not going to scold her for any near-friendly fire incident or anything?! The gears that were usually churning away in Vashi's brain had come to a complete standstill at Mei's kind words and lofty promises, to the point she simply stood in front of her in completely silence for a couple of moments.\n\n\"That's... that's very sweet.\" Vashi eventually came to realize that the world was already moving ahead, as she quickly took a step closer to Mei, holding up the bottle to her.\n\"Oh, I think this is what you might want! I'm not that good with wine, but I think it's a good label!

Rolling this up and passing it to Liaena, the latter started cheerfully soaking it in alcohol. \"Really? Since when?\"\n\n\"Forever? But I passed an exam, so it's now official\"\n\n\"Well congratulations. I'm sure that gave you all you need in real-world skills\" Liaena said in a decidedly sardonic tone as she pressed the soaked poultice into the cut – hard.

As she did so, a glow started to emanate from under the hand that was resting on Mei's arm, rapidly increasing to then fade away. As the girl finished the prayer and removed her hand, the bleeding wound was replaced with scarred tissue that looked like the injury was at least a week old. The girl gave her a somewhat awkward smile, shrugging her shoulders clumsily before moving on to the next injury, a far less grievous wound in her leg. \"I can't…uh, promise the protection bit, but I'll do my best\"\n\n\"She can't fight\" Liaena informed Mei in a loud, not-whisper.

Although perhaps there was not much to remove to begin with...\n\nRithrynn, whom had been about to say something in the beginning, was left dumbstruck and with her jaw hanging as the tiny elf simply gazed up at the massive, towering body of her Captain now looming in front of her, most of her view taken up by Serphia's large hips right in front of her!\n\n\"One moment, just you and me, it will be... \" Serphia was about to begin talking when suddenly she would be interrupted by a scream from outside!\n\nLooking to her left and out the window, Serphia's eyes would widen as she saw one of her Sentinels + Death Knight just slide down the side of the roof outside the tower in a duo of shrieks!\n\n\" ... \"\n\n\" ... \"\n\n\"Should we investigate that?\" Rithrynn carefully suggested, looking up at her Captain with a hopeful look.\n\n\"Oh no, they got it under control.\" Serphia would quickly reason, before turning back to gaze down at Rithrynn with a particularly mischievous grin on her face!\n\"Now, where were we... \"\n\n*\n\n\"LET.

The source of the racket could not have been more clear, with Malizia clinging onto a Night Elf clinging desperately onto the roof.

Kathlin characteristically, looked concerned. \n\n\"They're going to wake up the neighbours\"\n\n\"My heart bleeds\"\n\nThat was the very moment that with a nasty ripping sound, the drainpipe the Night Elf was clinging onto came clean off the wall as both started to plummet towards the ground! The fall only lasted a moment however, as a moment later it was arrested for the pair to start gently floating down the height of the house as if falling through quicksand. \n\n\"Impressive escape that.

[ { "text": "\"You should probably stop that, you know. Violence breaks the cantrip\" Kathlin stated as they stared up at the struggling Night Elf and Draenei.

I think the apprentices can deal with this situation before it goes out of hand.\"\n\n\"Well I am an expert in not getting out of hand, after all\" Liaena remarked dryly as she produced her dart gun out of a pocket. Checking the other pocket, she found a vial that – after a fleeting glance at the label – was pushed into the holster. Walking forward towards where Malizia was floating slowly down through the air, the girl unceremoniously took aim and fired. A small dart sunk into the neck of the un-helmeted Draenei…given her current fight with the Night Elf, it was probably not even noticed. \n\n\"….\"\n\n\"So what was that supposed to do?\" Kathlin asked, after a few seconds in which nothing appeared to happen.

Blinking slightly, she shook her head to look back up at the Night Elf. The beautiful Night Elf, with that purpled flush of anger in her cheeks only adding to her charm. A perfectly oval face, a voluptuous body…that young fresh skin…\"\n\n-SMUCK-\n\n\"MRRRRGHHHH!\"\n\n\"….\"\n\nThe two apprentices merely stared up, momentarily speechless as the Draenei lunged forwards to catch the Night Elf and kiss her full on the lips. Judging by the Night Elfs reaction, this was not exactly well received – however the embrace Malizia had her in prevented her from reaching for weapons for the moment. \"…you definitely mislabelled it\"\n\n\"Hrm.

Most of them had either retreated to the side to try to recover or throw off their dizziness, and a lot of them were knocked down on the ground, lying sprawled about in various different poses.

Vashi was ordered around without any consideration… Was this because of the magic she harbored?

The very idea of an arcane wielding night elf seemed absurd at first. Mei herself had spend some time at the lands of the night elves years ago when the relationships between their two nations were forming so she got a chance to study their libraries and ancient texts... at least withing the allowed range without trying to read secret documents and the like. What she did learn was that night elves abandoned anything arcane related thousands of years ago... why this night elf used magic like this was quite the mystery for the draenei warrior.\n\n \"Will not be surprised... \" Meirie added at the statement of possible secret laboratories down in the basement somewhere. It was the perfect place for it really, underground so the noise from it would be deafened, no flashes of light to alert the surroundings and very well protected in case... something blows up.\n\n \"Don't worry miss Vashi... from now on I will protect you and your things. If someone wants to take something or touch something, I will give them a stern scolding.\" She said with a smile, wondering exactly how big was the basement of this mansion.

Indeed, the Night Elves had apparently not afforded even the jam any more mercy than they had the wine storage by the looks of it! The mage could only dread the number at the end of the bill once everything had been refilled.\n\nPerhaps it might even be better just to let Friedrick burn said bill before he could even see it.\n\n\"It's the antidote.

Taking a moment to tidy up his deep azure blue robe and adjust the mithril chestplate under it so that it sat properly, the blond haired High Elf would step over to where Liaena was working not far from the unconscious body of the large Death Knight. As he came close enough, he would extend his staff wielding arm and a bit of his cloak as well as he wrapped it around Liaena as she was working, before speaking as he looked towards her.\n\n\"I think you did really well today, Liaena. My brother has made this life anything but easy... no matter how much you may make it seem the exact opposite sometimes. I really appreciate having you by my side, Liaena.\" He smiled, simply taking a moment where he simply looked at her.\n\nThat attention however would be broken by a low groan emanating from the now half-sleeping Draenei as she shuffled somewhat around on the floor, slowly recovering from her sleep.\n\nCasting a look between Liaena and Malizia, Sharon would reach into his arcane pouch hanging at his side with his other hand to produce a pair of handcuffs made out of Thorium, with some mystical magical runes written into them. \n\n\"I got some anti-mage cuffs that could prevent her from casting any spells... \" Sharon explained as he held them up in front of Liaena with a slight grin, before suffering the inevitably stare that any man outside of law enforcement would receive when casually revealing himself to be carrying handcuffs.\n\"You never know when they might come in handy... totally not a souvenir from my academy time in Dalaran, no... \"\n\n...\n\n\"Anyhow!\" Brushing past the awkward silence, he'd look back at Liaena.\n\"They would block her spells, but I don't think you'd be able to shrink them.

It's actually rather straight forward, mind you.\" She suddenly contemplated, scratching her chin with a thinking look on her face as she gazed out into the empty air above them.\n\n\"It's actually more like that the military tribunal finally realized, after almost ten thousand years, that maaaaaaayybeee magic could actually be a good thing when it came to guarding the balance of the world, which is the divinely appointed charge of the Keldorei given to them by the Moon Goddess Elune herself. Now, we do have Druids, some of whom are REALLLYYY powerful(and old, that's a thing about us that you'll learn), but they just don't quite pack the 'oompfh!' as does an order of trained battle mages. So, because the tribunal realized that we couldn't just sit on the defensive all the time if we wanted to restore order to the world, they managed; although they had a hard time getting their bigot heads out of their uptight butts; to accept the use of arcane magic in a limited form.\"\n\nDuring her little speech, Vashi had gotten a little riled up and spoke with great enthusiasm, but also a little bit of sarcasm. Finally finished, she let out a small sigh, before looking over at Mei with somewhat of a bemused smile.\n\n\"So that's that, it really makes you think that it wasn't until the very balance of the world was threatened that they finally allowed us to practice magic, and we're still on probation in all but name!\" Vashi couldn't help but frown a little bit at the end of her sentence, rolling her eyes to the side for a moment before looking back at Mei.\n\n\"Like I said, it's an elf thing that not many outsiders really understand. To put it into perspective, imagine that you accidentally set fire to the kitchen one day. Except that your parents were also near immortal and with an immaculate memory for grudges and bad things in general!

We only have one counterspeller, and I'm not bringing her in here\"\n\nThe High Elf nodded, before crouching over to bend the Draenei's arms behind her and fit the cuffs on. Liaena watched silently, before clearing her throat slightly to voice what was weighing on her mind. \"Maybe Rithrynn's better off out of it for a while\"\n\n\"What?\"\n\nSharon turned slightly, to give her a quizzical look. Liaena sagged slightly, to sit down quite heavily on one of the upturned crates in the room looking very tired all of a sudden. \n\n\"She was with Sherpa the night before last. Remember? And I don't think she was under any sort of spell, or drug. She seemed…lucid, when I spoke to her about it. Relatively speaking\"\n\nThe girl studied the floor as she spoke, with a carefully composed touch to her voice. \"I don't understand what he's done, or offered her, but she seems to be under the impression he is misunderstood, and cares for her.

While this brainless, careless, nonsense is going on….I don't think that we can trust her\"\n\nBy the end of her speech, the girl's composure was slightly rocked by the bite in her final words. Glaring a hole in the stone floor, Liaena became aware that Sharon was giving her a look of concern. \"You would rather leave her…?\"\n\n\"…No, no…I'll get her out of Serphia. Literally. I owe her that much, at least\" Liaena said flatly. \n\n\"I'll make sure she doesn't do any damage while this thing with Sherpa is ongoing. And after that…I suppose she'll be leaving with Serphia's lot anyway, which makes life easier.\"\n\nGlancing up, Liaena finally met Sharon's eyes to give him an only slightly forced smile. \"Anyway, not really the priority right now.

Walking backwards into the dungeon, would be a pink haired Night Elf wearing nothing more than an undersized red velvet vest that struggled to not tear from Naliyah's cleavage, and a simple leather belt with a pouch at the side sitting over her big, bubbly butt on display for all. The other Night Elf with her carried a striking resemblance to Rithrynn however, the same face and deep blue hair, the only difference being a lack of the usual war paint and a slightly less revealing uniform than standard. \n\nThe chevalier-Rithrynn would be the first one to notice the other occupants in the room, her facial expression going from concerned whilst fighting against Naliyah's iron grip around her to surprised when she saw the rest; and particularly Malizia.\n\nNaliyah on the other hand would continue to giggle, until she noticed that \"Rithrynn\" was no longer looking at her, at which point she turned around and noticed the other occupants in the room, where she let out a wordless 'ohhh...'.\"\n\n\" ... oh, oopsie!

Whilst Mei might have carried herself with a hard, outer shell; it had at this point plenty of cracks with which to see through to the softer inside.\n\n\"You know... miss Vashi, I cannot explain it, but your presence calms me... I haven't felt like this for a long time.\" \n\n\"You may be a big bad warrior who has mastered any physical weapon, but I think one important thing that you never mastered is this.\" Vashi said with a soft smile as she reached one hand up and placed it on the left side of Mei's chest, all the while eying the Draenei's reaction.\n\nBeing around the Draenei gave the mage a strange feeling of acceptance. The look she was receiving from Mei was very different from what she was used to receiving from her peers in the warband, who usually looked at her with a certain bit of disdain and even fear, as if she was going to blow up at any minute! No, there was no such awkward tension coming from Mei, who seemed to have no problems staying so close to her, despite her affinity for the arcane. It did not seem to bother the Draenei one bit, as she seemed genuinely relaxed and at peace. For once, it felt like she could talk without everyone around her jumping as if she was about to chant a spell. \n\nAt the mention of exhaustion, there was a thoughtful expression on Vashi's face as she threw a quick look around in the corridors of the mansion all around them.\n\n\"Why don't we find a room? Right now we stand the risk of falling right in the path of any of my sisters' drunk shenanigans.\" Vashi suggested, looking up at Mei.\n\"Though we probably should stay off the first floor, and the basement is too cold... what if we try upstairs?!\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "\"Agreed\" Liaena muttered back, studying the miniature 'Rithrynn' that was on the floor before them.

Dazed from the impact, Liaena could hear a yell from Sharon as Malizia apparently initiated a bull-charge towards the exit. \n\nOh no you don't…\n\nWrithing around on the floor to scoop up the dart gun she had let drop in her fall, Liaena stuck a hand in her bag to pull out something vaguely ammo-shaped, jam it into the barrel and fire off one single wild shot even as Malizia was charging through the door that Naliyah had conveniently left wide open for her. \n\nA wild shot it might have been, but apparently the girl's incredibly erratic luck was with her that day. The dart jammed into the back of her head, and did…apparently nothing.\n\n\"Whaaat….that should have got her down\" Liaena complained to nobody in particular, presumably Sharon being in hot pursuit of the errant Death Knight. The girl opened the barrel, to pull out the spent vial and squint at the writing on it. \"Awww, dammit\"\n\n*\n\n\"Uhhh….where are we going?\" Silje enquired tremulously as they walked through the house. The pair had apparently made a stop on the way on their travels, as the little girl was now wearing a – surprisingly well fitting – blue silk robe. The ex-Serphia looked down at the floor as she scuffed a borrowed slipper on the floor nervously, apparently still very much ill at ease at the situation. \n\n\"To go and….\" Kathlin paused, running through the situation in her head before she looked back at the girl again. \"…help a friend not do something she won't regret later, but I think she should\"\n\n\"Oh\"\n\n\"It's okay. It doesn't have to make sense\" Kathlin said reassuringly as they stepped into the large atrium. It was still more-or-less deserted, save only for one elf comatose on the floor. \"…and I do want you to speak to Mister Dal'dieb. You might be a good witness, if that's okay?\"\n\n\"S-sure\" Silje waved in a not-at-all-sure tone of voice. She looked as though she was about to say something else, before hesitating and going a shade paler as heavy thumping footfalls became audible, and steadily growing louder. \"M-miss! I think somebody's coming!\"\nAt that, Malizia thundered into the atrium to pause briefly, panting harshly for breath. The huge Draenei raised her head, looking like she was about to gun straight past them – before suddenly pausing, apparently becoming oddly fixated as she stared at Kathlin and Silje. \n\n\"Ahh! Chevalier – Chevalier Malizia! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! But I'm not a soldier!\" Silje gasped, before diving behind Kathlin.

Did the Draenei take her?!\" Naliyah exclaimed as she looked around, still unable to see any trace of the tiny Chevalier-Rithrynn anywhere around! Her silvery eyes suddenly gaining a slight red hue, Naliyah's worried face would soon turn into one of boiling anger as the pink haired Night Elf suddenly rose to her feet!\n\"That bitch! She's going to regret trying to steal my Rithy!\"\n\nNaliyah called out, before completely forgetting about Liaena as she charged out the same door as Malizia and Sharon had used just earlier, disappearing like a purple torpedo out into the corridor and up the stairs as she went on a frantic hunt for the supposed kidnapper!\n\nIn the meantime, back in the atrium, the out of one of the side doors leading to the living room would be a couple of Night Elves, one dressed in a simple cloak and some binds, and the other; little more than a big metal belt reading T.J.

The two Night Elves were initially just dumbstruck by the situation, but Luci, recognizing the Draenei who had only earlier attempted to mate with her, would soon see red as her eyes narrowed down on the Draenei!\n\n\"That Draenei is not supposed to be her! She's an intruder!\" Luci would suddenly call out to her slightly confused sisters whilst pointing at Malizia.\n\"Kick her ass!\"\n\nWithout hesitation, the two Night Elves would quickly listen to their champion as they both charged forward with a fervent battle cry as they headed towards Malizia!\nIn the meantime, in the back of the room, Naliyah would come scurrying past Sharon in great speed, charging into the atrium as she spotted Malizia's back as the Draenei was approaching the two human girls.\n\n\"You BITCH!

Looking back at Kathlin, he would put on a reassuring tone.\n\" ... we still have two elves left!\"\n\nFor one moment, Malizia had been feeling the thrill of battle filling up inside of her, but that focus would suddenly be changed as she slammed down onto the ground, and she felt the beautiful sentinel, Luci, just shoved up her butt, a wondrous sensation that was amplified a thousand times by the strange attraction she felt towards the precious little elf!\n\nRather than getting up and continuing the fight, the Draenei just sat there on the floor, her face turning into one of joy as she just enjoyed the sensation.\n\nPlacing one hand on the fallen Valia, leaning on her for both support and to prevent her from getting up, and completely ignoring Naliyah as she was riding her back, Malizia began instead to just wriggle her butt happily around on the ground, giving Luci all the assistance she could ever need in going further up. The sensation from Luci had completely defeated Malizia's lust for battle, as the Draenei leaned her head back in just pure pleasure instead.\n\nIn that moment, the Death Knight gave little indication of wanting to flee or even try move from the spot, simply enjoying every second of it.\n\nSharon, after an initial awkward pause, would slowly turn towards Kathlin, eventually throwing the girl a slight smirk as he motioned towards the Draenei who at that point seemed very... pacified.\n\n\"See?

It felt strangely alright for her to be in this situation.

It was sometime after we took down Arthas... I remember the party starting... and the next thing I remember is a week later, I'm halfnaked on a beach... halfway across Northrend...

It came as a little bit of a surprise, but considering they had already kissed proper it wasn't much of a change.\" Alright... Hold on tight then.\" Meirie stated as she made another full dash up the stairs towards the upper floor. They might as well get fully out the way of the chaotic night elves. Melizia would be a problem if she escaped, but Mei now knew the death knight was around so she could track her down if she had to.\n\n \"Okey...

So....what happened?\"\n\n\"It seemed our guest has made a new friend\" \nSharon said agreeably. Vailia and Lelili were still groaning on the floor. Malizia meanwhile, looked like she was about to rise out of her stupor, letting out a grumbling snarl as her eyes fixed on Liaena in ire. \"Do not dare to touch my doves, wretch. Any slight I will repay ten times!\"\n\n\"Doves?\"\n\nLiaena glanced around in mild confusion before following Malizia's gaze to where it was set on Kathlin and Silje. \"Ohh, it means you two. That is….heh. Do I get to be a bridesmaid?\"\n\n\"I assume this wasn't intended\" Kathlin commented in a tone dryer than desert. Liaena simply flapped a hand to wave her comments away. \n\"Do not argue with results, Mrs-DeathKnight\"\n\nThis could actually be ideal….\n\nLiaena studied the Death Knight, who was peering after both Kathlin and Silje with longing, before turning quickly back to Kathlin with the beginnings of a smirk lighting up her face. \"Talk to her!\"\n\n\"What?\"\n\n\"We don't need to interrogate her any more – she'll talk to you!\" The girl whispered in glee.

Dooooo it!\"\n\n\"….\"\n\n-Sigh-\n\nKathlin stepped forward, to walk into the room with the large Death Knight sprawled in the middle of it. Malizia's gaze was riveted to her every move (Silje was at this point completely hidden behind Sharon). Taking the last few steps gingerly, the girl stopped where she gauged was just outside rapid-lunge range from the Draenei. \"Hi.\"\n\nApparently listening to her words intently, Malizia closed her eyes to savour the moment. \"….Hi\"\n\n\"So.

Peering around as if she had just heard something, her gaze would go forward, then down, as she stared down at the large butt of the Draenei, as an almost inaudible wail escaped out from under the bum!\n\n\"Is that you... Luci?\" Naliyah asked with an inquisitive look on her face, listening to the almost inaudible voice, before a flash of hope suddenly came across her!\n\n\"Oh thank Elune, it is you, Luci!\" Naliyah exclaimed, clapping her hands together in joy as she smiled!\n\"For a moment I was so worried, I thought it was Rithy who was stuck there! Ohh, she may still be free! I have got to find her, bai bai!\"\n\nAnd with that, Naliyah shot up onto her feet and began running, or almost skipping, all the way up to the rest of the party away from the Draenei, just at the same time as Luci would throw an epic fit of rage for being abandoned by throwing herself at the Draenei's insides; a furious action that almost caused Malizia's big butt to shake.\n\nAs she reached Sharon and Liaena, and was about to pass, Naliyah would suddenly pause however. Looking about at Silje, Sharon and then Liaena, she raised her brows in a quizzical look.\n\n\" ... I thought Death Knights were supposed to like... hate everyone? How did you do that?\" She asked, peering over at Malizia's interaction with Kathlin, and then back.\n\"But more importantly, have any of you guys seen Rithy?!

It must be embraced, and carried as the permanent mark it is. Ignored it will only drag you down.\"\n\n*\n\n\" ... I AM TELLING THE TRUTH!?\"\n\n\"Really? Really?! Luci disappeared in a room together with you. You don't think that makes you the prime suspect, Nali?!\"\n\nNaliyah gave Lelili a deep frown at that point, before suddenly dropping both Sharon and Liaena without a warning for each of them; incidentally dropping Liaena in such a way she was about to fall right on her own satchel! Naliyah, in the mean time, turned around quite briskly to fold her arms below her chest as she faced down Lelili and Valia!\n\n\"Really, if you do want to know, let me tell you who's currently in my ass!\" Naliyah argued back at Lelili, before raising one hand, moved her hips out to the side, and started counting with her fingers.\n\"There's only Janessa, Anerilia, Velithia, Marathrielle, Kalissa, and... \" \n\nNaliyah paused for a moment, gaining a thoughtful expression on her face as she wriggled her big butt playfully, before holding up a second hand and continued counting with it.\n\n\" ... ohhh, and Delilah!\" She finally said, with a smile on her face as she eyed Lelili and Valia.\n\"If you want to know where Luci is, why not ask her though?\"\n\nNaliyah then said, before pointing between Valia and Lelili. The two sentinels paused for a moment, exchanged a short glance at each other, and then looked back, only for their eyes to go wide as they saw the towering figure of the Draenei Death Knight standing behind them, as Malizia had broken free of her chains!\n\nQuickly stepping back, Valia would look back at Naliyah.\n\n\"Uuuhhhhmm! Maybe later!\"\n\n\" ... runnnw!!\"\n\nAnd with that, Valia and Lelili were quick to take off running, storming past Naliyah and almost running down Silje in the process as they both hurried out of the atrium!

Crashing into the floor and landing on his back, Sharon's spell would fizzle out in a screen of blue smoke that emanated from his hands, and he'd let out a groan of discomfort!\n\n\" ... or we could do that! ... owh!\" Sharon gasped, leaning back up from the ground as he looked towards Liaena, who he had managed to halfway catch with his left arm, as to at least avoid her head slamming into the ground. Although from his perspective, he could also see that a slight strip of hair on the left side of her hair had gained a light blue color from the miscast spell. \n\nThough Sharon, with his best judgement, would refrain from mentioning anything of. At least not yet.\n\n\"One disaster at the time!\"\n\n\"Are you alright, Liaena?\" Sharon asked with a concerned look over at Liaena. Part of him realized it was a pointless question, considering that Liaena was a survivor, both of her own reckless experimentation, and more than a year long friendship with Rithrynn, and so a simple fall was unlikely to do anything much to her. Still, it was the thought that count!\n\nIn the meantime, Silje, who was now standing in the open, right in the line of sight of Malizia, would take a step to the right to the right, positioning herself behind Kathlin and whispering to her: \"Can't we just run and contact the city guard?!?\"\n\n\"You know, for a Draenei; and a Death Knight at that; you're not that bad!\"\n\nMalizia peered down at the only-slightly-shorter Night Elf standing in front of her, after her two friends had turned and run. The Death Knight simply returned the smile, placing one hand on Naliyah's shoulder, and leaned in to one of the pointy ears between her pink hair to whisper: \"You know what, why don't we team up? You help me get the affection of the two human girls, and I'll return the favor!

She couldn't hear anything from within and she had a good feel about this one. Though the nice feeling about it could just have been the second kiss Vashi placed on her cheek. It caused Meirie to smile once more, before nodding.\" Well I guess it's my time to return to the world.\"\n\n \"Alright hten, I guess this room will have to do.\" She stated with calm voice and carefully reached with her right hand to open it, still keeping Vashi in her embrace.

Yes, I'm fine\" Liaena muttered as she picked herself up off of the ground. Dusting herself down, she double checked to ensure that chevalier-Rithrynn had not been squished in the event. This concern was swiftly alleviated as she spotted the little 'elf', hanging out of a pocket in her bag and looking distinctly green in the face. 'Rithrynn' shot her a panicked look at the sight of her, and in a harsh whisper: \"Is she still there!? Has she gone??\"\n\nLiaena simply closed the bag sharply rather than answer, familiar as she was with the fabled bat ears of Night Elves. Glancing up quickly to check whether Naliyah had heard that, she was relieved to see that the elf was preoccupied….with the Draenei?\n\n\"…..What?\"\n\nStaring at the Death Knight who, rather than start any assault with the Night Elf, had seen fit to get extremely close and personal with her, Liaena glanced between Sharon and Naliyah with a clear 'what the hell?' expression on her face. \"I don't think I caused that?\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "Naliyah was at first a little surprised when the Draenei decided to lean in towards her, raising an eyebrow as she glanced towards her.

Naliyah, although she often ran solo, was no stranger to the occasional temporary alliance when it came to her little escapades! \nShe may never have done such a thing with a Draenei, let alone a Death Knight before, but as Naliyah gazed up at Malizia with an eye reminiscent to that of a professional wine inspector, she slowly gave a nod. \n\nAfter all, the benefits of having a big, 8ft Draenei on her side were nothing to scoff at! The possibilities were seemingly endless! And the only one who could truly put her new friend down was Mistress Serphia, who was currently incognito, presumably to continue her not-so-secret mission with Falere, something that Naliyah knew would leave her preoccupied for quite some time!\n\nGrinning slightly, Naliyah turned around; if not only to suddenly lean back again against the Draenei and whisper.\n\n\"Uh, which of the two human girls? I see three?\" Naliyah whispered back at Malizia.\n\"Oh, the two that do not look like they crawled out from an experiment involving a rainbow and acid.\"\n\" ... that makes sense!\"\n\nTurning back towards Kathlin, and Silje hiding behind her, Naliyah would smile cheerfully as she looked at them with a big, broad smile.\n\n\"Have you guys met this Draenei before?\" She inquired with enthusiasm, motioning back towards Malizia.\n\"She is actually quite a cool girl!

[ { "text": "\"You are being too hard on yourself.\" Vashi said with a smirk as she looked back up at Mei, before raising a finger to poke it directly at the front of her forehead.\n\n\"You need to live less inside of there... \" She said, as she gestured with her finger to point at the air around them.\n\" ... and more out here!\"\n\nHowever, as the Draenei opened the doorhandle, the sight that would greet her in the dimly lit guestroom ahead of her was not that of any drunken elf, caught in some intimate act. Instead, as they looked into the room, they could see a group of six or more large, furry nightsabers; the huge felines that the Night Elves used as mounts dotting the room ahead of them. The beds, sheets, carpets and draperies of the room had been all torn up by the large creatures living inside, and as the door swung open, at least a dozen glowing eyes immediately turned to gaze towards the disturbance.\n\n\"Ohhh, so that's where we left them!\" Vashi commented as she looked into the room at the gathered nightsabers inside. The nightsabers, when they noticed Vashi at first, did not seem to be any bothered or alarmed by the sight. It was something they had seen a thousand times before. The new figure in the form of Mei, the Draenei, however, succeeded in garnering quite a different reaction as at least four of the nightsabers got on their feet and let out a series of threatening growls.\n\n\" ... I don't think they like you... \"\n\nVashi, quickly recognizing where the situation was heading, would raise one hand, and with a spell; she would immediately cause the door to swing shut and close just as the largest, black furred Nightsaber lunged forward towards Mei. As the door closed shut right in front of the nightsaber, which was none other than Serphia's very own, a loud crash could be heard from the other side as the very door bulged outwards towards the corridor they were in. Deep roars and growling emanated from inside the room, as wooden chunks of the other side of the door could be heard being torn off on the other end by multiple sets of razor sharp claws!\n\nLooking back up at Mei, Vashi would simply throw her a reassuring smile!\n\n\"Ohh, that one would just be Silafeen, or \"Ripfang\" in common.

Never expect to fully recover from that... Still feel the desire to spread chaos and death from time to time. Heh... in the end I turned into something not too different from the orc berserkers...\"\n\n \"Ohh joy...\" Mei replied as she also started growling at the nightsabers, eyes locked. She knew that the only way to get such animals to stop was to show them there was no fear inside you and that you are as dangerous if not more than them. Eyes locked with the lead one, she let herself get in tune with the rage inside her at least until the night elf closed the door suddenly with her magic.\n\n Meirie blinked a few times as her own bloodlust faded, unable to realize what happened at first. She then looked at Vashi who was giving her the reassuring smile.\n \n \"You really shouldn't have done that. They will need to learn not to attack me if I'm to travel with you from now on.\" She replied and took a few steps back and away from the door, noticing the sounds of tearing wood from the other side of the door.\" Vashi, you think this wooden door will hold?\" She asked, throwing a questioning look at hte mage.\n\n \"Guess that at least explains it's zeal... and arrogance even for a mount. To attack like that despite not being ordered to.\" The draenei stated, giving a unimpressed expression.\" A true mount doesn't act without it's master's orders unless the master is in direct danger.\" She stated and slowly put the mage to step on the ground and stand alone for she half expected the door to be broken soon and the mounts to charge her. If they did... well they were going to learn how a weaponless draenei can use her head.\n\n \"Alright change of plans then... today I will run on reserve energy and stamina potions.

Team up! Like, how often is it that you get a big Draenei like that, offering to help out. I think she has some potential that we really shouldn't waste!\" Naliyah said as she turned towards the High Elf, grabbing him with both of her arms as she beamed down at him with an enthusiastic smile on her face!\n\n\"The Draenei seems already have made good friends with the human girls, and she and Sentinel Luci are practically inseparable!\"\n\nNaliyah exclaimed with a big smile, just as across the atrium, at the stairs, where Liaena and Silje were heading.

His expression said it all, he was trying to protect his home from the incredibly likely devastation that awaited it, considering that Melizia was still alive.\n\n \"Despite my greatest wishes, you are still crawling around like an insect that just refuses to die... sister\" The berserker said, noting the death knight's words and even giving them the sarcastic 'sister' at the end.\n\n \"Master Sharon, I see you've avoided my warnings to dispose of this abomination when the chance was clearly present.\" Meirie said with a police voice and way fo speaking, addressing the mage with formalities.\" Lucky for you, eh… Ryu… no, Melizia. Was that not your new name?\"\n\n \"That said, you have my thanks for the unexpected hospitality after the earlier battle, Master Sharon.\" The draenei said with a slight bow.\" Again, I would like to express my urgency to deal with Melizia while we have the chance.

Real helpful\"\n\n\"Oh, is it a rematch you are looking for? Without hiding behind that trollop, maybe?\" Malizia sneered, clenching her fists.

The only ones who seemed sober and properly in uniform (by Night Elf standards) were three black cloaked Watchers who were with them.\n\n\"WHERE IS THE INTRUDER?!\" Sounded the almost unanimous cries of at least three different sentinels as they rapidly scanned the room with their silvery eyes from beneath their helmets, eying everything with utmost suspicion! \n\nAs they rumbled into the room, there would be an awkward pause as they gazed out across the current situation. The first thing that caught their attention was the large, slumbering Draenei Death Knight that was currently lying on the carpet in the middle of the atrium, with her face on the floor and big butt wriggling happily about in the air as she slept beautifully, lost in her own dreams. Moving on from the obvious sight(and obviously the least threatening sight), they then flashed over to the familiar Sharon, then the always-suspicious Liaena, the nondescript and totally unimportant looking Kathlin and Silje, and finally, over at Vashi, and; standing next to her, the only person matching the description of a big, fighty Draenei that could escape - as opposed to the one currently sleeping...\n\n2 + ? = 4\n\n...\n\n\"GET AWAY FROM THE FIEND, VASHI!\"\n\"SURRENDER, TENTACLE-FACE!\"\n\"YOU ARE SURROUNDED!\"\n\"WHAT DID YOU DO TO LUCI?!\"\n\"SHUFFLE A TENTACLE AND YOU'RE A PIN-CUSHION!\"\n\"ASH FELADORA O´RIN TA(YOU'RE DEAD, BITCH!)\"\n\"THOUGHT YOU COULD ESCAPE?!\"\n\nWithin the blink of an eye, at least a dozen shiny weapons had been pointed at Mei before she could even say \"parley\", as a line of battle-hungry Night Elves were glaring down at her! \n\nVashi, struck by a moment of confusion by all this, would shortly realize what was going on as she stepped out in front of Mei, doing the best she could to block the big Draenei as she raised her arms!

Problems abound by her mere presence, and the sooner they could get her sent away, incarcerated, or fly her off to the Draenei embassy; the better. He could not see any use for her, and Liaena's patience with any interrogation attempt seemed to have worn off completely from what he could tell! \nShaking his head, Sharon would glance back at Malizia, only to notice two half-dressed Sentinels as they were currently using the curves of the big, unconscious Draenei as a soft couch to sit on - seemingly testing Malizia out as some potential new furniture!\n\n*Sigh*", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" }, { "text": "Meirie tried to not pay any attention to what was going on with Meiliza and the noisy human girl from earlier.

Humans being the shortlived and determined race, individuals like that appeared in frequent enough numbers. They made for great companions and horrifying enemies. Especially if they handled potions and from what the berserker gathered this Liaena girl was well versed in potions. She had witnessed a potion hatchel being dropped along with all the potions in it… the result were… fiery.\n\n \"We did indeed, Vashi.\" The draenei berserker said with a nod at the night elven mage's joy. Mei gave a small smile and a nod, before throwing a glance at the human girl, giving her a thankful nod also.\n\n \"If she acts up again, she won't get the chance to cause any trouble… or to even make a sound before I snap her neck…\" The berserker stated. Bringing the death knight to justice with trial and execution was going to be a grand thing, but considering she was working for someone and from the vague clues she got, that someone must be of substantial power and influence.\n\n \"Actually can't we keep her in a sheep state?\" Mei suddenly asked the magic users by her side.\" It would be good… she won't be able to use her magics, won't be able to really rampage and frankly her allies won't really recognize her while I escort her to the delegation.\"\n\n \"Right… their captain?

The last thing that was required was for Malizia to start yet another rampage of destruction. \n\nIt had been a long day.\n\n\"That sounds like quite a good idea, actually\" Kathlin agreed amicably in response to Mei's sheep-question. The second young woman of the trio appeared considerably less aggravated with the situation than her shorter colleague as she gave the Draenei a light smile. \"Would you like me to accompany you? I need to help Silje give a statement anyway\"\n\n\"Uhhh…what?\" Silje stuttered at this.

Placing one hand behind Mei's back and the other behind Vashi's, the Captain started ushering them forward without asking down through the corridor as they headed towards the stairs.\n\"But if this is some kind of joke, Draenei, or if this turns out to be a false alarm - I WILL throw you out the nearest window!\"\n\nSerphia said as a warning to Mei, her silvery eyes burning like hellish torches as she threw the creature a deathly glare!\n\nMei would not be given much of a chance to respond however, when ahead of them, Serphia could already see the familiar party of Sharon, Liaena, Kathlin and another, still unknown girl, just as they came walking up the stairs.\n\nThe very fact that Sharon and Liaena had ever ventured down from the relative safety of the second floor, and down into elf-territory at the first floor, obviously meant that something was going on.\n\nAnd probably something they didn't want to tell her...\n\n\"Quel'Dorei, Sharon! His consort!\" Serphia called out to them as they saw her in return, alongside Vashi and Mei. However, neither of the two parties would be able to exchange much further words, before a rythmic series of crashes, followed by Aleena's screams, would soon reach them from behind!\n\n*Thud!*\n*Thud!*\n*Thud!*\n*Thud!*\n\n\"AAAAHHHHH! GET THIS CURSED THING OFF OF ME!!\" \n\nAleena screamed as she was being dragged up the stairs behind Sharon and the party by the possessed satchel currently towing her along, using the word 'curse' perhaps in a more literal sense! Following right behind her where at least four other sentinels; consisting of Lithrielle running first, a second Lelili, Naliyah behind her and a rather shrunk disheveled and shrunk Luci currently stuck in Naliyah's cleavage; that came charging up the steps to try to help the most unfortunate Aleena!\n\nLithrielle had unsheathed a dagger as she lunged past Aleena towards the bag, only for Aleena to frantically wave her arms.\n\n\"NO-NO! THAT'S THE BAG OF THE MIDGET WITCH! IT COULD EXPLODE!!\" Aleena shouted out through her constant battering against the steps until they reached the top, where the party of elves followed Aleena as the satchel pulled her behind Sharon and Liaena, past them into a wall, crashing; reoriented itself, and then shot into a door on the right, pulling a squirming Aleena with it; and quickly luring the other sentinels with it into the room as well!\n\nSerphia, simply gazing at the sight that had just taken place behind Liaena and Sharon with a look of disbelief, slowly gazed back at the group; her gaze now lingering on Sharon and Liaena, but perhaps weighing more down on the black haired human female...\n\n\" ... you may begin by explaining who's satchel that is... \" Serphia began slowly, her icy voice almost being as intimidating as the deep and expectant glare she was now casting towards Sharon's group, as the Captain came to rest her hands on her hips impatiently!", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

And the one who would find herself most in the Captain's insidious, silvery gaze would be none other than the would-be-diplomatic Liaena.\n\nEven Rithrynn; trapped firmly within the Captain's voluptuous behind; seemed to have calmed down for the moment, presumably from the fact she was probably cringing after having overheard Liaena.\n\n\"As if the High Elf's own diplomatic attempts weren't insufferable enough!\"\n\nRubbing her brows in just a moment where she simply took in all the ineptitude, incompetence and sheer mediocrity that was currently surrounding her, she would suddenly call out! \n\n\"Move aside!\" Serphia exclaimed as she suddenly started to march forward without a warning, pushing Sharon and Liaena aside(almost tossing the latter one up into the air), as she marched towards the guest room!\n\"What is the point of having a full warband and supposed allies if you always end up having to do things yourself?!\"\n\nShe growled as she headed towards the now broken window of the guest room, wher the other sentinels, minus Aleena, were huddled around the frame and currently looking down.\n\n\"Hold on, Aleena, you'll be,-\"\n\n\"Out of my way!\"\n\nLithrielle, Lelili and Naliyah were all thrown back and aside by the Captain as she walked up to the window to look down herself. Glaring down and out of the window, she could see Aleena, currently stuck in one of the branches of a tree some ten feet below. And not far below her, seemingly pulling against her cloak with an unnatural weight or force would be midget witch's bag of potions. Aleena was making weird gurgling noises while grabbing the collar of her belt, which had somehow gotten around her throat and was in the process of strangling her from the pull of the satchel!\n\nWith a sigh, Serphia would reach over to Lithrielle's hip as the Sentinel was getting back on her feet; snatch her dagger, and then toss it out the window, arching it a deadly spin past Aleena; who's face at this point had gained a very dark shade of purple; and right into the leather strap of her quiver!\n\n\"MWHAHAHAHAA! I AM FREE, FOOLS!\"\n\nWith a sharp snap, the bag fell to the ground of the garden, where it immediately began to shuffle its way erratically through the baroque bushes; with the occasional multi-colored potion falling out from it and breaking, either blowing up a bush or leaving a pool of rainbow colored acid on the ground to sear through the grass.\nAleena, in the meanwhile, laying back first on the branch and gasping for air, would stare back up at her savior in the window, Serphia, while trying to construe a sentence between the gasps for air.\n\n\"T-than-kss, miisthresh! *Gasp* sor-rry, misstressh!\"\n\nAleena called out to Serphia, whilst in the background, the satchel reached the edge of the garden perimeter and jumped over the wall, to disappear over on the other side.\n\nIgnoring the mess stuck in the tree below that was Sentinel Aleena, Serphia would turn around to Vashi and point at the satchel just as it went over the wall.\n\n\"Vashi, destroy it. Low blast.\" Serphia said in a quick, strict order. Vashi, seemingly passing out of her confusion to take on a much more orderly pose, would step up to the window and point her staff outside.\n\n\"Understood, mistress!\"\n\nWith some quick words of enchantment, two brilliantly colored white darts would suddenly shoot out from the tip of Vashi's staff, to swivel elegantly if not somewhat erratically through the air as they were homing in on their target, before the two magic missiles disappeared behind the other side of the wall where Malizia and the satchel had just gone earlier.\n\nThere was an awkward silence, punctuated only by two faint plopping sounds to begin with, until...\n\n*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*\n*CRASH*\n\nThe lighting in the entire street would for a moment change as a gargantuan, multi-colored explosion appeared from the other side of the wall from the remaining potions being destroyed, rising 40ft up into the air as it demolished the walls and windows of the nearest houses in a terrifying, deafening and yet also very pretty explosion that featured all the colors of the rainbow!\n\nVashi, Lelili, Lithrielle and Naliyah(as well as the tiny Luci in her cleavage) were all staring out the window with wide eyes, their jaws dropping to the floor at the huge explosion. Aleena dared a careful look up and behind her, to see the colorful bits of debris as it was thrown high into the dark air by the explosion that inspired a brief look of awe in Aleena's face.\n\n\"Awwh.. sooo prettehh... \"\n\nSerphia, on the other hand, merely turned away from the explosion to look back at the group.

Li. We need to go and help. Wake up, Li\"\n\n\"Last. Of my stock.

Maybe you shouldn't have introduced your stock to a Death Knight and tied it to a Night Elf then\"\n\n\"I. Hate. Night. Elves.\"\n\n\"Yes, yes\" Kathlin tossed over her shoulder as she broke into a run though the atrium, out of the door/rug and down the path. Exiting through the gate was more than easy to achieve, given the gate was now a pile of twisted metal. \"Hello? Is anyone hurt? Is everyone okay!?\" \n\n\"Aaaggh!\" a shrill cry met the pair, who turned to look. A woman had appeared at a pair of completely shattered windows. She looked entirely unhurt, if a little windswept, but stared at them with eyes of madness. \"My curtains! My beautiful curtains!\"\n\n\"I'm sorry Ma'am, we can't provide treatment for curtains\" Kathlin responded as Liaena stared blankly down the street. Thankfully, it did appear that there had only been damage to property and the street. Nobody appeared to have been hurt, which was a small miracle given that it was around eleven on a weekend. The bad weather of late had presumably counted for something – either that or Sharon's house had already become known as a no-go zone, which made a lot of sense considering past events. \"I need to leave this house, Kitty. Before I, or those Night Elves, destroy each other\"\n\n\"Hmm…\" Kathlin said, cocking a head to one side as she looked back at her. \"You'll have a hard time destroying them without potions\"\n\n\"not helping\"\n\n\"Sorry\"\n\n….\n\n\"Well…let's go back inside, before the city guard show up and try arrest you for this\" the taller girl said finally, taking her fuming colleague by the arm to tug her towards the house again. \"And talk to Mister Dal'dieb, and make a plan, or something.

Lithrielle and Lelili were throwing anxious looks between Serphia and Sharon. Though they said nothing, it was clear they were asking her whether they should apprehend the \"rampaging & insolent High Elf\". Even Naliyah had inched slightly closer to Sharon, her hand twitching as she considered putting it in front of the High Elf's mouth for his own good.\n\nSerphia, however, merely dismissed them with the gesture as she watched the High Elf step over to the window.\n\n\"Perhaps don't leave midgets in charge of producing explosives.\" She mentioned as she lifted her silvery eyes slightly to gaze through the window at the colorful cloud in the distance, before she turned around and headed out of the room; walking past Mei without saying a word.\n\n\"As the threat has been eliminated, I will take my leave.

Given its tall-by-human-standards-but-short-by-real-nelf-standards, and her own grace, getting down would be the simple matter of a jump or two. Making a mental note of strangling whoever tried to pin the potion disaster on her, and moving one foot over to the nearest branch, her left ear would suddenly twitch as she heard the cry of a nearby townswoman.\n\n\"DEMON! AAAAAHHHHHH\"\n\nHer brows furrowing into an annoyed frown, Aleena sneered.\n\n\"Gah... I am not a demon, I am a proud Keldore... i?\" Aleena was about to turn around to chastise whatever foolish and ignorant human it was that had confused her for a demon, when she gazed back, noticed the slightly middle aged woman staring towards the center of the explosion, and then the strange, horned shadow moving about in the colorful smoke from the epicenter of the explosion.\n\n\"Huh?

Something was casting giant shadows through it as a giant figure appeared into the smoke. She blinked a few times, recognizing the basic outline.\n\n \"ARE YOU BLOODY KIDDING ME!\" Mei suddenly shouted as she closed her eyes. When she opened them, a burning rage could be seen within. She had enough of this blasted death knight. Melizia was dying right now!\n\n \"Give me those!\" She suddenly roared, pulling two daggers from the sentinels around her and a sword. She threw them a warning glare not to try to stop her for this time she was really going to throw them over her knee and spank them till they had trouble walking and no amount of being drunk was going to safe them.\n\n \"Will be back soon…\"She replied, bit the sword blade in the middle for a good grip while she held the two daggers in her arms. \n\n Following that, she made a mad dash towards the nearby stairs leading up to the final floors.

Had she no shame?!\n\n\"You may be fast, but the slow and steady wins the race... \" Malizia suddenly grinned a she heard the battle cry of Aleena as the Sentinel came leaping in from behind her, all the while Mei prepared to throw herself down her back in a long slash! \n\nDeciding it was time to play the little fools against one another, Malizia suddenly crouched down, whipping her tail up to slap Aleena across the back and suddenly launch the Night Elf right up, causing her to fly screaming right into Mei in a painful mid-air collision as both Mei and Aleena went tumbling through the air in a heap as they plummeted to the ground of the garden in a painful crash!\n\nAs the two would be heroes fell at her feet, Malizia would once again spring her knees, jumping up from her crouching position and up into the air! As the giant Draenei was temporarily suspended in the air, the forces of gravity just about to take hold of her again, she would extend her legs, and bare two massive, dark blue buttocks as she began falling down towards the fallen Mei and Aleena in a monumental butt-slam maneuver that would be positively earth-shattering for the rest of the district!\n\n\"Aaaaand strike!\" Malizia called out as she began falling, cackling like mad as she looked down.

Behind her, Lithrielle stood ever so dutifilly, but with a clear, worried expression on her face as her eyes constantly seemed to shift between the interaction between Liaena and Serphia, and up towards the general direction of the garden.\n\n\"I would normally ask for an explanation, ape... \" Serphia started, glowering at Liaena with a fury of someone who had been dragged out of their well-deserved morning snooze on a sunday!\n\"But now, I need a solution. To the problems YOU created!

NOR had she time for their potion shenanigans, spawning giant Death Knights outside the very house to ruin Serphia's otherwise perfect romantic moment!

To Serphia, the thought of turning the already giant Draenei Death Knight into a monstrous, giant spider that could rampage through the streets with its long, icky legs was enough to send a chill down the otherwise stoic warrioress's spine. And to Lithrielle, the image of turning the Draenei into a giant frog with a jabbing, long sticky tongue was perhaps even more frightening than the current thing outside of the mansion.\n\nAnd then again, even the idea of a giant, evil rabbit with command over the powers of evil at its disposal...\n\n\"I think you are underestimating rabbits, little human, they are... \" Lithrielle started carefully, peering down at Liaena from behind her Captain, only for Serphia to suddenly raise a hand towards her to motion her to be quiet.\n\n*\n\n\"Wait, I recognize that voice... wait, it's Li.

For whatever reason, Rithrynn; whilst always furious; had suddenly been spurred into a maddening fury within her rear.

It was a sentinel! A sentinel holding a human girl… 'Well…well… well… ' Mei wondered, hearing the words said by the sentinel. \n\n \"That sure is a working distraction…\" Mei muttered to herself, her sense of danger triggering up.

Liaena entered slowly, staring around, before dropping to her knees to start scouting under the cupboards much to the bemusement of the elves behind her. After a few seconds of this, Serphia started to get nervous. \"What are you doing!? I will remind you, giant spiders are a sin against Elune…\"\n\n\"Here we go!\" Liaena said triumphantly, and some tiny squeaking noises erupted as she pulled out a mouse trap cage with a tiny mouse running around inside it. \"I figured Miz Collins would be too busy with you lot to empty these. Or maybe she just needed the extra meat on standby, who knows?\"\n\n\"…\"\n\n\"Oh right.

Instead, she aimed under it, digging her large hands into the ground, going below the shield, finding the bottom of the spherical shield, before suddenly pulling it, the guardsmen, and a good chunk of dirt and cobblestone straight up from the ground.\n\n\"Have you boys not learnt to not disturb a girl in her private moment?\" Malizia grinned with wicked glee as she stood up on one knee, before holding the sphere with the soldiers in one hand almost like a bowling ball behind her, and suddenly tossing them to the side, causing the magical barrier to roll down the street towards the canal like a big, glowing bowling ball; the guardsmen being scrambled around inside, their voices of confusion, terror and occasional puking being muffled by the rolling sphere as it crushed anything in its path.\n\n\"Now then... where were we?\"\n\nMalizia said whilst grinding her hands together as if she had just taken out the trash, already moving towards Kathlin's little hiding spot while pretending to not know where the little girl was.\n\n\"Now that that's out of the way, sweetie, how about we continue to consummate our brilliant lo,-\"\n\n\"STOP RIGHT THERE, YOU FOUL DEMON BITCH! THIS IS MY... mmmhh, oh... ahem! - THIS IS MY PROPERTY, AND YOUR FEL ASS IS TRESPASSING!\" \n\nThe giant demoness suddenly turned around to look directly down at Kathlin, hovering over her with a big, tooty grin; when suddenly Serphia's voice could be heard across the garden!\n\nMalizia's face, barely ten feet above Kathlin, would suddenly stop; only to gain a look of supreme annoyance, her eyelids lowering and mouth forming to create a \"I can't believe this shit\" look on her face!\n\nAt the bottom of the mansion, having just stepped outside, would be none other than Serphia herself - now fully clad in her battle raiments, and her twin swords hanging in their sheats on either side of her wide hips! With her black cloak flowing in the ash behind her, she raised one hand to point it accusingly at Malizia's backside as the demoness faced away.\n\nA little bit further up behind, staring out one of the windows, would be Sentinel Lithrielle, holding a heavy flower patterned bag whilst giving the whole scene a worried look.\n\n\"I DEMAND YOU BOW IN SUBMISSION AND PLEA FOR MY FORGIVENESS - I DO NOT TOLERATE INSUBORDINATION, BUT MOST OF ALL, I DO NOT TOLERATE PARTY CRASHERS!!\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

This was just what they needed! The insane night elf captain to fight the giant demoness in the middle of Stormwind! Actually what was she even thinking, even Serphia alone wouldn't really stand too much of a chance against the new demon, despite being in full battle equipment. Then again Malizia was turn into demon right now so she wouldn't know how to use those skills just yet. \n\n \"Ohhhh the Naaru protect me…\" She finally said, taking a 180 degree turn. There were just so many things she could do right now. Throwing spears at the giant Malizia while it would hurt for Mei's throwing strength was pretty of the charts, it wouldn't really deal with the situation. \n\n \"Vashi!\" Mei suddenly called as she returned to her most favorite night elf in the whole of Azeroth. There were few things the berserker could do from her current position… keyword here being current! She needed a change of location!\n\n \"Vashi, I need you to teleport me…\" The draenei would said and leaned in, whispering her desired location into the night elf's ears. \n\n Meirie had one goal, to stop Malizia in her tracks, she'd need to either cause extreme damage… or… go berserk on Malizia's head! She had once pulled this trick with another big deamon and it works! She needed her cute little nelfie to transport her right on top of Malizia's hair form which she could show the new demon a whole new world of pain…\n\n \"Can you do it?\" She asked Vashi.\" Because the alternative of that plan is to leave your captain in 1v1 with Malizia until master Sharon finally deals with this… FAILURE of unspeakable proportions…\"\n\n \"Well there is also the option of enlarging me, but since there is no potion for that ready and I'm pretty sure no magic user here can cast that spell, it's impossible to persue that option!\"", "username": "rivaan", "char_name": "Meirie Leran" }, { "text": "\"Ehhh…\" \n\nKathlin glanced around to assess her options. Right above her head, one gigantic demon…dranei…thing. To her left, angry Night Elves. To her right, Liaena also in hiding, making very obvious shooing motions at her. \"Yes, thank you. It's easier said than done\"\n\"Ugh….\" The demon rolled her eyes, before bending down towards Kathlin in a quick pounce. \"Let's take this somewhere else, sweet-thing\"\n\n\"Nooo…no no no no! Thank you\" Kathlin gasped as she scrambled around the overturned wooden structure, trying to squirm out of the way of Malizia's fingers. Summoning a faintly growing orb of Light, the demon squealed as it was tossed at her hands. \"Hey!\"\n\n\"OI! GIANT DEMON DEATH KNIGHT!\" \n\nLiaena yelled, having abandoned her hide-out to stand on top of a garden chair. Normally, this would add to her height significantly. Given the other occupants of the garden, this was very much a losing battle. \"YOUR INTENDED WISHES YOU TO PROVE YOUR LOVE BY DEFEATING HER FOE! THE NIGHT ELF CAPTAIN SERPHIA! ….RIGHT!?\"\n\n\"What?\"\n\n\"….\"\n\n\"Oh. Yes…yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea!\" Kathlin said weakly. She had at this point managed to anchor herself somewhere where the large sausage fingers were having trouble stretching in to. It was presumably only a matter of time before Malizia realised it was easier to tear the entire contraption apart. \"Yes! I'd love it if you took care of her for me. I'll…uh, watch. From over here\"\n\n\"For the Light's sake, that potion is wasted on her. I'd have that thing eating out of my hand by now\" Liaena grumbled as she slithered back down behind the wheelbarrow.

Then another one and finally opened her eyes at the end of it.\" Alright… I will try to find you a still…\" She said and turned to start running about the mansion.\" Naaru help me…\" She mumbled to herself as she dashed.\" I so should have stayed back in Northrend… live as an hermit… build myself a cottage in the woods… tame a pet or something… \" She was mumbling to herself as she dashed about the mansion.\n\n Where was she supposed to find an alchemy still from!? \"THE BASEMENT!!!\" She suddenly exclaimed and dashed towards the hole that was created a while ago when they crashed the floor with Malizia. The draenei quickly jumped down and frantically started hitting the walls as she ran across the place. Vashi had stated there was supposed to be a secret hideout of that alchemist human girl. If that was true, there is supposed to be an alchemy stall sure enough… maybe… hopefully… WHO KNEW!\n\n Well hitting the walls in such speed didn't really reveal any secret rooms hidden behind the walls, but Mei did almost trip on a box in one of the store rooms in the basement. It sounded… glass… and breakable! She quickly opened the box to reveal a pretty old, probably replaced set of alchemy tools. Beggars can't be choosers!

She was also holding onto a large oil-skin sack in a similar state of disrepute which she had apparently just levered out of the well. Frederick gave it a look of polite concern. \"An excellent collection, Lady Rune. Some of those vintages have been sourced from another dimension\"\n\n\"Oh good, maybe our extra-dimensional visitor is already acquainted then\" Liaena muttered as she pulled a bottle of whiskey out of the sack to squint at it. \"I'll ask her to write a review…oooh, 70% proof.\"\n\n\"Although actually, some of that sounded quite good. Breakfast didn't happen….\"\n\nLiaena spared a regretful look at the window Miz Collin's voice as she sprinted towards the edge of the mansion, to find a drainpipe and start to clamber up the side of the building. Unmolested, Malizia and Serphia happily occupied with each other, the girl didn't stop until she found a ledge on the 3rd floor that overlooked the scene and at least provided some level of cover. \n\n\"Hrm. I forget. Are demons fire-proof?\"\n\nLiaena mumbled to herself as she stared down at the carnage. \"Come to that – are Night Elves fire proof?\"\n\n\"….\"\n\n\"Ah well. We all need to make sacrifices – Captain\" the girl commented blithely as she uncorked the bottle of whiskey, and shoved a wad of cloth inside it. Reaching inside her robes for a flint – which she thankfully had not mislaid – to start striking sparks until one finally caught at the fabric. Balancing it in one hand as the flame took hold, Liaena readied herself before almost tossing it casually towards Malizia, where some clothing and armour still clung somehow to the demons skin in spite of the abuse it had suffered. \"Just need to get the timing….right\"\n\n*FWOOOOSH*\n\n\"Hmm.

Staring down at the girl a level below her, the watcher would give Liaena a dirty look.\n\"Can't you see Mistress has the situation under control?!\"\n\nSerphia, who had grown accustomed to Malizia's slow, cumberstone and predictable 'rationale' moves to catch her, was caught completely off-guard by the sudden jerky, panicked movements from the giant demoness as Malizia began flailing around like mad! The result? Before Serphia even knew what happened, the shoulder she was standing on was no longer below her feet, and instead, the stray back of a big, red arm slapped into her from behind, swatting the Captain away like a bug - her silvery eyes both stunned, surprised, and offering a token glimpse of warning at Liaena standing on the edge of the mansion - before the Captain slammed into a smaller roof of the mansion and fell right through it with a crash!\n\n\"Ai-aii-aiaiia!\" \n\nMalizia screamed as she jumped around, the tiny figure of Lithrielle visible beneath Malizia as the Sentinel darted across the battlefield that had once been Sharon's garden, dodging any trampling hooves and slipped into the mansion's back door!\n\nIn the meantime, Malizia had been wildly clawing at the tiny, burning straps of clothing still left on her body, trying to tear them off! The minor, almost unnoticable discomfort generated by the flames seemed to have been completely ignored by the panicked demoness as she tore off what little clothes she had been wearing, and threw the burning fabric across the garden!\n\nWhile Draenei were excellent sprinters and possessed great leg strength, they had generally lacked flexibility and balance. A fact that became painfully obvious as the panicked Malizia found herself struggling to regain balance in the confined space of the garden, and was staggering backwards towards the mansion!\n\n\"Don't you even as much as think of throwing that secon.... d bottle... ... \" The watcher who had begun berating Liaena from the level above suddenly went quiet when she noticed the shadow that had suddenly fallen over them, only to look up to see the giant demoness as she was rapidly falling in their direction.\n\n\"GODDESS!!

I'll only need a moment!\"\n\nThe Night Elven magi explained, before she had already kicked in one of the nearby doors and walked in, shutting it behind her before the sound of crackling electricity and occult chanting could be heard from within.

A rather bad sixth sense considering portals… like get forcibly pulled through enough of those and you get to sense whenever someone was plotting teleportations or portals or anything involving spacetime manipulation!\n\n \"Light give me strength…\" Mei mumbled as she rapidly stood up, carrying Vashi in her arms as she sped up the stairs, searching for Sharon and the human girls who obviously needed some restraint to be pushed into their heads by a hammer at least.\n\n \"Don't you dare!\" Mei shouted as she dashed through the stairs and corridors, heading towards Sharon's last location.", "username": "rivaan", "char_name": "Meirie Leran" }, { "text": "\"No. We haven't\" Liaena snapped\n\nUpon receiving a stare from Sharon, the girl threw out a defensive arm towards the garden. \"Look, I don't like leaving Rithrynn either but how exactly do you propose we get her back!?

That imbecile of a captain recently blew up all of my potions, I've officially run dry, and I don't think my pliers are going to reach her even if I went spelunking. I'm good, but I'm not that good\"\n \n\"If you're going to admit that, then it must be serious\"\n\nKathlin murmured. Looking slightly furtive under Sharon's gaze, Liaena avoided his eye. \"After all this mess is over, we can come back and get her\"\n\n\"Besides…not that I'm going to point it out but it'd be much harder to hide from Sherpa – if we drag around someone literally sleeping with the enemy\"\n\n\"So where are we going?\" \nKathlin enquired, with an obvious attempt to inject some optimism into the situation as Sharon shook his head and started to form the gestures for the teleportation ritual. Liaena merely shook her head in answer to his question. \"I don't care. Not the north. Nowhere too close. Somewhere quiet\"\n\n\"DON'T YOU DARE!\"\n\nLiaena's head snapped around to see a very angry Draenei, rumbling through the corridor towards them with a bewildered Vashi in tow. Kathlin stepped in front of her, mumbling a prayer as one of her glowing shield sprouted around them, Mei smacking into that rather than into Sharon and disrupting the ritual. \"Ah, sorry about that Ma'am, but we mean no harm to you. It's an inter-dimensional portal this time, promise\"\n\n\"There – perfect!\"\n\nSharon pronounced as the spell concluded and a portal shimmered into life before them. Not even taking the time to check what was on the other side, Liaena grabbed Kathlin by one hand and Sharon by the other. \"SorryifweoffendedyougiveSerphiamybestbyeeee!\"\n\nUnder the influence of the haste spell, the bound through the portal took only a fraction of a second. The shield immediately collapsed as it's caster left the scene, leaving Mei and Vashi free to move as they would. The other three found themselves stumbling into a new environment entirely. \n\n\"Do you think they'll follow us?\"\n\nKathlin asked.

It was a very familiar sensation, it felt like each piece of her body was being drawn towards the portal and the amount of strength applied on her was increasing by the seconds.\" I've hit sturdier things that this magic shield, don't worry.\" She replied to Vashi to reassure the girl when the wall was suddenly crashed and the damned face of the now daemon Malizia showed up.\n\n Mei growled and for the first time since this mess began was glad she saw Serphia as she pulled the daemon's attention away. She needed to do something so Vashi doesn't fall in Malizia's hands. Such a thing would be a disaster! Especially since Mei swore to protect the more adorable night elf! She was not letting Malizia get her nasty paws on her nelfie! She should just play with Serphia till both of them are unable to move anymore!\n\n Then she felt it, her body was finally giving in to the forces of magic, she felt her body basically be almost like torn to pieces as it was drawn towards the portal. She hated this sensation, she knew she'd just materialize on the other side as normal, but still this… condition of her that the warlocks experimented on her with was very annoying.\" Vashi! Hold me tightly!\" Mei shouted, wrapping her arms around the night elf, pulling her as close as possible as her body was pulled through the shield, shattering it and into the portal. She actually felt a hurt, most likely cracked or dislocated shoulder joint from the impact just now. Nothing new really. Good thing was she pulled the night elf mage with her successfully!\n\n Everything for a moment was magical energy before the next moment she felt the very familiar sensation of KINETIC ENERGY! Mei was flung on the other side of the portal as if shot by a ballista! She barely managed to turn in midair to protect Vashi from the impact on the wall.\n\n The wall had actually cracked under the impact, Mei groaned in pain as she slowly looked up, noticing the familiar faces plus a gnome. She liked the gnomes actually! They were very fun companions to have around!\n\n \"There was… a reason I was against the portal…\" Mei graoned and swiped some blood that was flowing of the edge of her lips.\" Vashi, you alright?\" Mei asked then and looked at the nelfie in her arms.\n\n \"Damn this hurts...

Welcome to my shop! ... \"\n\nLiaena was gazing around the holy sanctum Sharon had dumped them into with coveting eyes, before coming back to earth briefly to realise she was actually being addressed. \"…Hi\"\n\n\"I am telling you now, Dal'Dieb, from now on, I'm doubling your rent if you want to keep this emergency, and I emphasize, EMERGENCY teleportation circle!\"\n\n\"No no, this was an emergency!\" Liaena interjected. Catching Gimpsy's attention, the girl gestured to the empty space where there should have been a bag at her side. \"I found myself without any potions, alchemic powders or explosives! And there was only one place I trusted to have the finest quality to restock all of them. You can help me, can't you?\"\n\nLiaena clasped her hands together as she gave the gnome her very best puppy-dog-eyes and cutesie smile, before pointing at Sharon as an afterthought. \"It'll go on his bill\"\n\n\"Hm. You have definitely dislocated a shoulder there…\" Kathlin murmured as she prodded Mei's shoulder lightly, feeling under her shoulder pad. \"….with some torn ligaments. I can fix it, but I need to get the bone back into place. Which will hurt. Li?\"\n\n\"Yes, I'll have two packets of the rotwood powder –\" Liaena was animatedly following Gimpsy around, rattling off alchemic buzzwords with her. Now however, she appeared with a flash next to the small group with Mei on the floor. \"—what?\"\n\n\"Could you ask for a numbing potion please\"\nKathlin said blandly, to which Liaena frowned back at her. \"Why? Just pop it back into place\"\n\"I could….\" The girl sighed. \"…or I could take advantage of the fact we are literally in a laboratory. Numbing potion please\"\n\"Okay, but you're a mollycoddler\"\n\n-Zoom-\n\nGiving the empty space where her companion had moments ago stood a long-suffering look, Kathlin turned back to look at Mei. \"This won't take a moment….just, don't move for now\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"It's... not my first dodgy ride through a portal.\" Vashi answered after a short pause, before suddenly hearing Kathlin's voice.\n\"Oh, sorry!\"\n\nWithout delay, the Night Elven mage sprung up to her feet and got off the battered and bruised Draenei! It was not until she had turned around and looked down at Mei that she finally realized just how beat up the Draenei berserker actually was! Whilst the portal journey had only felt mildly uncomfortable for Vashi, it now became obvious why, as the Draenei had clearly taken most of the brunt herself.\n\n\"Typical of Mages to surround their portals with hard stone walls.\"\n\nVashi thought to herself, a bit annoyed and concerned at the same time, as she looked about the room.\n\nThe room...\n\nIt wasn't until now that she fully realized what sort of place they were in, and it was... odd! It was hard for her to even describe what she was seeing as her silvery eyes darted across the dimly lit basement storage/cellar/summoning room. Certain parts of the room looked like it was part of some Gnomish & Dwarven heavy industrial workshop, with cogs, rods and strange contraptions scattered all over the place! \nA heavy industrial workshop that had somehow crashed with an alchemical laboratory to create a chemical catastrophy. And that in addition to the chaos, someone had used the aftermath of the collision as a makeshift library, with scrolls and books strewn haphazardly about the place between bizarre machinery and smoking alchemical stills! \n\n\"I don't think this place is safe... \" Vashi muttered to herself as she observed their surroundings, but mostly the plethora of innumerable safety regulation transgressions. \n\nClearly this abominable workshop was the place all sorts of work environment and health concerns went to die!\n\n\"This won't take a moment….just, don't move for now\"\n\nVashi eventually noticed the little human girl named Kathlin as she crouched down to start working on Mei's wounded shoulder and body. Almost immediately, Vashi could sense Mei's warrior pride & badass side flare to life! However, before Mei had the chance to get up and try to fix her own shoulder, Vashi had already intervened!\n\n\"Yes, it probably is best if we leave it to the medical professionals.\" Vashi was quick to comment as she knelt down next to Kathlin and carefully placed a reassuring hand on Mei's other shoulder, whilst giving the Draenei a smile.\n\"Let the girl do her work.

[ { "text": "Mei pretty much realized she was not in the greatest of conditions right now. Her body had taken quite the impact from first the magic shield they put around the other end of the portal and then from the impact on the stone wall. The dislocated shoulder was her least of worries and she was about to put it back in place by herself when the human girl decided to help her. She didn't need any numbing potions with this, but Vashi smartly intervened to stop her from acting on her own with fixing her dislocated bones.\n\n \"Fine... I will leave it to those who have better training in the medicine arts than myself...\" Mei barely stated when she was hit by the sleeping spell from Sharon. Now that was not something she enjoyed very much. Her whole mind was as if suddenly swallowed by a dark abyss, her body started to feel increasingly tired by the moment until she could barely keep her eyelids open anymore. She had to give it to the mage that his sleeping spells were pretty darn good if nothing else. \n\n What was also a fact though was Meirie's incredible willpower and pure damned stubborness. She hang to the last threads of consciousness of hers as the spell was trying to put her to sleep. Her eyes were almost close, but she was still partially awake to a point at least. She could barely gather information about her surroundings as her sight was blurred and her mind was mostly preoccupied with keeping awake.'I ...wa...nt... to... st...a...y... a..wa..k.... … … .. e.'

There was an audible grinding noise in this, followed by a 'clunk'. \n\n\"That is going to sting when she wakes up\" Kathlin turned to Vashi who had been hovering beside her, to remark as such in a confidential tone. \"She really shouldn't be swinging a sword for at least a couple of days. She's not going to listen to me. She might to you?\"\n\n\"Hm…no thanks\" Liaena said, after eying the jet pack speculatively for a moment. \"The solid form solution though…does it work on gases?\"\n\n\"Mostly. It makes it into a jelly!\"\n\n\"Uhuh, and what's the boiling point of the solution?\"\n\n\"Wha…ah, an excellent point, an excellent point!\" Gimpsy said gleefully as she continued to sort through bottles and tins. \"The answer is, tests are still ongoing – but if you'd like to leave feedback, I could maybe give you a retroactive…\"\n\nThe gnome turned around at this point, to eye up Liaena speculatively. \"…two point five percent discount\"\n\n\"ten percent\" Liaena said, more to keep up appearances than anything else. The girl was keeping at least half an eye on Sharon at all times, meaning she was not paying full attention to the gnome. The High Elf looked completely miserable, and it wasn't hard to understand why. Given the circumstances, 'I told you so's' about their acceptance of the Night Elf horde, could probably wait until later. \n\n\"Phssh….five percent\"\n\n\"Fine\"\n\nHopefully at any rate, Sherpa's agents would be too preoccupied banking as much as they could out of this political and financial victory, to be too urgently attempting to murder the whole lot of them. \n\n\"Okay I'll take two of the SFS…plus some of the transmogrify, a shrinking elixir and the standard alchemic suite\"\n\n\"….\"\n\n\"Oh, and for the transmogrify…do you have any subject samples?\" Liaena enquired as an afterthought as the gnome was about to bustle off. \"For a human, or a high elf would do\"\n\n\"It's not part of the standard purchase but I will…check\" Gimpsy muttered, before heading into the back. \n\n\"We need to have you looking much less distinctive\" Liaena said quietly as she headed back to the morose High Elf. \"Guaranteeably the watch will be after you for questioning. At least.\"\n\"That also goes for you, Li\" Kathlin remarked offhandedly as she wound a bandage around Malizia's shoulder. \"I can see the newspapers tomorrow.

With a ponderous look passing over her face for a moment, she suddenly raised a smile at Liaena as she curled a pair of fingers through her turquoise blue hair suggestively.\n\n\"I... may have a subject sample.\" Vashi added with a surprisingly casual tone, her eyes innocently drifting off to the side as she spoke towards Liaena.\n\n*\n\n\"Grrrrrr.... \"\n\n\"Oh, for the last time, I've told you time and time again, the kitchen is off limits!\" Miss Collinz tone could suddenly be heard across the devastated kitchen as the elderly woman stepped into it, carrying a heavy iron cauldron filled with boiling stew as she gave the giant, purple face of Serphia currently wedged in the room a stern look.\n\"Look at this mess! Half the kitchen is gone! How will I ever complete the evening desserts?!\"\n\n\"Wha... \"\n\n*BOP*\n\nHaving just put down the cauldron, Miss Collinz gave Serphia's huge face a bop on the nose with her ladle.

At least if one could ignore the last part about the Captain supposedly defeating the demoness herself.\n\nContemplating whether he should give helpful criticism or not, the High Elf eventually concluded however that it would be better to simply ask for forgiveness than permission with the Captain around.

Maybe even use some of the trees to get a jump on her. It would also assure that she had an audience to watch the legendary exploits of the legendary Serphia! She could spawn numerous generations of stories and legends in just one battle. \n\n... especially considering that these were just short lived monkeys they were talking about.\n\nBut the mountains. There was just something epic to the feel and sound of fighting a giant demon in the mountains, and all the great legends and ballads of ancient warriors had usually resolved around mountainous terrain.

Normally the tactic could work... normally, but the situation had nothing normal about it. She sighed and looked at herself, she lacked any weaponry, her clothing was tattered up and frankly she wasn't really too happy with the present situation. She missed her chance to kill Malizia a few times already and the only saving grace was she found the most adorable little thing she had seen in a long while...(If the averagely 2 meters tall gorgeous women could be called adorable.). \n\n \"Ice's not going to work...\" Mei eventually said, interrupting the two magic user's dreams about clumsy giant demon.\" Her size... is too great.

I think the demon had an illusion of an old tower thrown on him... I did wonder what that tower was doing there, but I was kind of on blood rage, chasing down some fel orcs and some fel hounds....\"\n\n Right after saying that, Mei made a rather melancholy expression.

I uhm, like kittens!\" \n\nAll the while, Silje tried to make conversation with the large nightsaber she was sitting on. She knew she was sitting on a cat of some sort. And although she had always been very fond of cats, this cat was abnormally big, black of fur and long, sharp yellow teeth that gleamed even in bright daylight.\nRipfang, on the other hand, was not as interested in interacting with its missed-meal currently situated on its back. Instead, the black Nightsaber simply looked around in the street whilst waiting for his mistress's signal. \n\nThat was, until a tiny, nosy and furry object suddenly caught Ripfang's attention...\n\n\"Rowll?\" \n\nRipfang's deep, yellow predatory eyes would suddenly shift a little bit to the right as it spotted the furry outline of a small rat currently skittering across the cobblestone. The rat stopped in its tracks, standing up on its hind legs as it sniffed the air around it; until its beady little eyes suddenly noticed the relatively massive, towering black figure of Ripfang as the mouse noticed the nightsaber!\n\nAnd then the massive war feline and tiny rodent locked eyes...\n\n\"However, foul-demon!

An eerie moment of quiet suddenly passed across all the gathered Night Elves; their bait just having gone off on a zig-zagging trip towards the center of the city, before the familiar, demonic voice of Malizia could be heard booming from behind!\n\n\"Nooo! My precious little Silje! Come back, my love!\"\n\n*THOMP*\n*THOMP*\n\nThe Sentinels threw themselves in a mad dash to get out of the way of the now giant, stampeding demoness as Malizia charged forward in a mad pursuit to catch up with the fast Nightsaber carrying her love, as the cat in question was chasing a very determined rodent!\nSerphia barely had time to look back, before a giant hoof came out of nowhere; stomping down on her to the horror of the surrounding sentinels, before moving on and leaving Serphia prone behind, lying back down against the ground as the Captain looked up in sheer disbelief.\n\n\"Mistress!! Ripfang is not heading towards the mountain! He's going.... I don't know where he's going!\" Sentinel Aleena shouted as she came up to Serphia from the side, with Serphia merely staring up at the burning sky above.\n\n\"By the goddess I swear I will kill that cat... with a tuna as weapon no less!\" Serphia muttered, eyes affixed to the sky as the disheveled Captain seemed to refuse to move!", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

[ { "text": "'Ohhh there we go again...' Me thought when she felt the pull of the portal energy as all molecules in her body were been attracted towards the magical phenomenon just as Vashi was about to say something. Mei wished to struggle so she can hear what the night elf was going to say, but no amount of struggle or desire could stop this as she was hurled through the portal at what appeared to be a balista bolt speed. Lights, shadows and images flashed before her eyes as she arrived on the other end, flew past some draenei and straight into the Exodar bank.\n\n *Outside the bank~~~*\n\n \"Hmmm?\" A draenei woman with pure black hair and very pale blue skin blinked as she was passing by the bank, noticing the portal that stood there. Next moment a draenei shape and colored someone flew past her into the bank, with a surprising not crashing sound following. She blinked a few times when the guards of the bank entrance joined her as a night elf also showed up through the portal.\n\n \"Are you with Meirie?\" One of the bank guards asked Vashi, smirking with very suggestive smile, after having heard Vashi's way of addressing the berserker.\" She's inside the bank.\" They pointed the entrance so Vashi can storm into it.\n\n Then a high elf showed up to their surprise. None of them were aware Mei had picked up adventuring away, non the less form a party to adventure with! This was huge news! Meirie had vanished years ago now, many had wondered where she was and now she shows up with a party no less!\n\n \"There in the bank.\" The draenei replied to Sharon, their worried expression changing into slightly amused ones.\" She was flung like always, I do believe we put that huge plant thing at the corner in front of the doorway to break her occasional appearances no?\" One of the guards asked the other one as they burst out in laughter, returning to their duties. Apparently Mei being flung out of portals at the bank was not a new occurrence!!!\n\n *Back into the back~~~~ * \n\n \"Hey, Meirie!\" The bank clerk shouted in surprise as she realized who came flying and impacting into the big plant thing they kept nearby. It was a big bush like plant tree thing they had put there years ago.\" You've returned!\" The clerk shouted, the attention of the other two newer clerks already attracted by the big warrior woman who now was slowly standing up from the bush.\n\n \"Yeah... things happened... My vault still standing?\" She asked, walking over to the counter.\n\n \"Of course! We kept everything secure, waiting for your return.\" The woman replied as Vashi stormed into the bank after Mei.\" Here's your key, but I suppose, there's no need to walk you to the vault?\"\n\n \"No need, I know the way.\" Meirie replied turning to her companions.\" I will go grab my gear, going to return in a few minutes.\" She stated, placing a hand on Vashi's shoulder.\" You wait for me here okey? Withdraw some gold coins from my account.\" Meirie asked of the night elf and turned to the clerks.\" She's got right to withdraw from my account from now on.\" She stated and looked at Sharon.\" You can ask Vashi to draw the money for the portal runes, but I'm pretty even I don't have enough to pay for the repair on your mansion, sorry. Alright be back in a few minutes.\" She said with a smile, storming deeper into the bank.\n\n \"So... you're the little thing who have our every sad and lonely warrior all active and pretty in love by the looks of it?\" The clerk asked Vashi, judging by how Mei acted towards Vashi and the fact she was allowed right to withdraw money from the account.

Even without the visual evidence, it would have been quite clear that something was gravely amiss in the city, as the thundering footsteps of the demon made the very paving slabs underneath them shake, and the splintering crashing of wood and stone from buildings the demon simply ploughed through was clearly audible. \n\n\"Oh Light…it's like the Dragon all over again\"\n\n\"It seems to be on a rampage\"\n\n\"--Noticed that too!\"\n\n\"….not in the direction of the mountains\" Kathlin finished her sentence as she stopped beside Liaena to also gaze out upon the carnage. \"I don't think the gryphon plan is going to work\"\n\n\"No, no, we can still fix this.

The rider in the lead, raised a plated hand to point it down at the creature. This signal was immediately followed by a volley of rifle mortar – shots barrelling into Malizia, who dealt with this minor irritation by twisting around and yelling something incomprehensible at this range. The riders pulled out of their dive after the first bombardment, to start turning around again. \n\n\"Yes….they have gryphons. Good idea, Kitty!\" \nLiaena exclaimed, to which her companion gave her a bemused look. \"What idea?\"\n\n\"We can hitch a lift! They're soldiers.

It was completely abandoned, the owner presumably having long since fled in terror as the girl stuck her hand in the front to pick up a small bar of chocolate. She then stepped back into the middle of the path to proffer the chocolate at the sky pointedly. \n\n\"CAW!\"\n\n\"Ow!

The captain's mouth went slightly slack-jawed for a moment as he took in the sight of the huge Demon bearing down on him, before briskly twitching the reins as he dug his knees into the Gryphon's side. \"Scooby, down!\"\n\nThe gryphon dived, wings brushing between buildings as they swept only a few feet above the cobbles of one of Stormwinds main shopping areas in the Trade District. Normally bustling, it was now silent as the grave, grave, carts and stalls overturned. \n\nMalizia's plated metal boot loomed before them. The gryphon swept by with moments to spare to dive straight through her splayed legs and continue at full pelt in the opposite direction to Malizia's trajectory. \n\n\"You called your gryphon Scooby?\"\n\n\"WHAT? THAT'S your concern!? The Captain roared as he dragged on the reigns to bring the Gryphon into a turn, back towards the fight. \"Why did the church send you!? WHY IS THAT THING FOLLOWING US!?\"\n\n\"Long story – difficult to go into\" Kathlin said breathlessly as she clung to the saddle. \"The demon'll follow me….head to the mountains to the north.

They were now between her and the mountains, the latter looking temptingly close. Looking around in bemusement, the pair saw the giant Malizia's eyes obviously focus on them again as her irises burnt a brighter shade of red. \"Smushy-face!\"\n\n\"Run\" Kathlin instructed her companions. \"Er, Fly. Retreat!\"\n\n\"Back! Back!\" The Captain roared as his mount, who jinked around to break into a frantic dive again as a massive hand reached out for them. \"…Light protect us\"\n\n*\n\n\"This counts as progress\" Liaena mused as Hester hovered just above the level of the houses, well above the fight taking place. The girl watched as the gryphon containing her friend turned to flee, pursued a moment behind by Malizia. \"…she could use backup.

Are you alright?!\"\n\nThe Night Elf mage first threw Mei a look of deep concern, then glanced over at where the perpetrator had once been; there being nothing left of Zazi's presence other than a rapidly disappearing thin cloud of arcane mist. \nApparently whoever this Zazi Draenei was, she had become very adept at bugging whenever an altercation had occurred, which admittedly spoke a lot about her character...\n\n\"Hold on, let me try to help!\" Vashi said as she chanted up a charm spell, aiming her staff at the hissing snakes on Mei's head as she cast a spell of lethargy, sapping some of the will and energy from the snakes as they began to suddenly move much more slowly and slovenly, as if merely moving required a tremendous amount of willpower.\n\n\"Is that better?! ... we at least won't have to worry about you accidentally devouring any passer-bys... \"\n\n*\n\n\"CUTIEBUM!

As Malizia slowly recovered from her fall, she managed to pull her own chest out of the cheesery, shaking her head as ruin and debris fell from her hair, and turned around to look back at the now escaping silhouettes of the gryphon rider carrying her beloved Kathlin!\n\n\"Oh no! You come back, my love! I promise I would destroy this entire city if that was just your desire!\" Malizia called out with a lovestricken, forlorn voice as she got back onto her hooves and bounded across the city in a wild chase after Kathlin! The giant demon made a couple of leaps, madly flapping her wings and even managing to glide a few moments through the air, high above the building! But just as much of Malizia's chase consisted of her falling over and tripping on awkwardly placed buildings and stone walls, frantically crawling forward only to take an accidentally head-dive down into the canal!\n\n*\n\n\"HIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!\"\n\nAleena screamed out in a crazed battle cry as the Night Elven warrioress flew high above the rooftops of Stormwind, having mere minutes ago been fired by the the catapult by Serphia and the rest of her warriors; her having been the only volunteer!\n\nIn her grip, and pointed forward, she held the long, sanctified pike she had received from Serphia; held out in front of her as she flew through the air, and pointed directly towards the distant target that was Malizia's big, red and winged form as it crashed through the city! \nHer hair flowed freely out from behind her black, ornamental Night Elven helmet, and Aleena could feel the passing air cause her shimmering elven eyes to begin to water!\n\nHowever, as she continued her approach towards Malizia in a perfect trajectory, Aleena would suddenly spot a small, feathered object flying notably slower than her, yet rapidly approach.\n\n*BLAM*\n\nWith little warning for neither party, although perhaps more for Liaena and Hester thanks to the Night Elf's war cry; Aleena would suddenly crash right into Liaena and her owl from behind in a mid-air collision that would result in said Night Elf warrior getting a face-full of owl as she let out an angry curse!\n\n\"Ashhh! Fowl-vel alan! Stupid bird!\" Aleena said, losing her focus and lowering her pike as she instead tried to grab at Hester!\n\nThe impact of the small owl and smaller human had done little to slow Aleena's speed throughout the air.

No wonder I call her a rat\"\n\nThe girl found she could make herself slightly more secure in her position by standing on a large knot-snarl in the mane she found herself in. This happy discovery found, the girl barely had time to catch her bearings as she stuck her head out to see the view – aka Malizias large back, rapidly approaching. \"Eh, could be worse\"\n\n\"That was a really good dodge!\" Kathlin said encouragingly as she clung to the gryphons back. The sergeant was paying only limited attention to his unexpected stowaway, thus it was doubtful he even heard it as he barked instructions at his mount. \n\n\"Down! DOWN! Dive!\"\n\nScooby obeyed, flattening out to once again barely skim the paving stones of the streets they swept down. It all appeared for naught however, as Malizia's pounding feet sounded incredibly close behind them and a large hand reached out. \"HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY BELOVED!? I WILL DESTROY YOU!!\"\n\n*THUMP*\n\n\"Eh?\" Malizia paused momentarily, more from surprise than from any physical damage at the feeling of a small object ramming into her back.

Stop that!\"\n\n\"This plan isn't short term at all\" Liaena spat as she clung onto Aleena, who was clinging onto Malizia, by virtue of two long knives now jammed into the small of her back. Using these as a foothold and handhold, the Night Elf was using her free hand to get even more stabby. \n\n\"OW!\"\n\nA large hand reached up to try and grab for the pair of them. Somehow, the Night Elf had been blessed with the fools luck to land in that exact location of the annoying itch – where it was most hard to reach. \n\n\"Do I have anything to add to this?\"\n\nWas Liaena's thought as she gazed into her satchel – before her gaze alighted upon the shrinking potion she had just used on Kathlin and herself. A few drops left at the bottom, else sadly depleted. \"well there's nothing to loose here, I guess\"\n\n\"HEY! NIGHT ELF!\" Liaena screamed as she pushed herself through Aleenas mop to shimmey down her bangs and swing insolently in front of her face.

However, thanks to her superior elven vision, Aleena would squint her eyes and barely make out the small droplets left in the vial.\n\n\"Are you daft, monkey? There's NO WAY that dosage is ever going to suffice! Plus, does it even work on demons?!\"\n\n\"GAAAHH! GET OFF-GET OFFZ!\"\n\nMalizia would shake her back, the demon now standing on her knees as she tried desperately to reach back behind her back to get at the annoying little long-eared, purple mosquito who had nearly latched herself onto her back where her wings started. And her demonic wings, no matter how cool they might have made her look, did little to help catch Aleena!\n\n\"Goddess, I guess here goes nothing!\" \n\nAleena, hanging from one hand, carefully snatched the tiny-weeny vial from Liaena's hand with two fingers, whilst grabbing the girl with her remaining fingers, and shoving Liaena firmly down into her purple cleavage before the tiny, black haired girl could raise an objection! With that, Aleena reached up to one of the recent stab wounds; which looked more like a barely noticeable mosquito wound on the giant demon; trying desperately to fiddle with the tiny cork on the tiny vial, before quickly giving up and resorting to simply crushing the vial between her fingers and stabbing her hand into the wound as it disappeared into a stream of dark red demon blood!\n\nThere was no scream of discomfort from Malizia, as the whole attack was hardly more that a tiny pinch. It was impossible to tell if it had any effect. Instead, like a dog trying to scratch her own back; if the dog had been a more than 50+ft tall giant, towering demoness; Malizia stood back up, arched her back, before throwing herself backwards down onto her back against the city below!\n\n\"Ohhh shiiiii,-!\"\n\n*\n\n\"Huh?\"\n\n...\n\n\"OOOOAAAAFFFFHHHGHH!\"\n\nVashi had little warning before she was pulled alongside of Sharon by Mei and straight through the portal!

As an excuse, she might say this was because there were better ways of trying to pull a 8ft tall, armored Draenei through a window than simply doing it the menial way, especially when you were a mage. However, the true reason for not wanting to get too close to Mei was the crazy new hardo of hers, as Vashi was still not sure if she could trust any of the dozen snakes currently writhing about on Mei's hair.\n\nInstead, Vashi used a simple kinetic spell, grabbing hold of Mei and pulling her back into the window, allowing Mei to pull free her own oversized swords from the surrounding walls.\n\n\"Are you alright, Mei?!\" Vashi asked with a voice of concern as she looked towards Mei, knowing full well how poorly Mei dealt with portals. The Draenei was a walking magical anomaly, and Vashi suspected that she may never truly be able to understand how she must have felt, especially when she herself was a mage through and through!\n\n\"With any luck, the fight won't be over yet.

If Vashi hadn't known better, she would have easily suspected it of being a meteor spell, but she looked back up at Mei, her eyes wide.\n\n\" ...

As soon as the latter had realised the peril she was in, Aleena had sprung into motion to climb up Malizia in a series of knife stab, using her long curved blade as a crampon. \n\nReaching her shoulder blade, Aleena hoisted herself up to dive over the arch of her body just in time. Malizia fell gracefully towards the earth, terrified citizens diving out of the way – or not, depending on their speed, dexterity and luck. \n\n-CRASH-\n\nThe form of Malizia's body smashed through a terrace of houses, her butt causing a small tsunami down one of the canal paths. Aleena and Li found themselves now resting comfortably on the demons naked bosom – which while admittedly confortable, was evidently not at all a safe location to be as Malizia's eyes zeroed in on them with an evil glare. \n\"I'VE GOT YOU NOW!!\"\n\"GRAAH! LEAVE ME IN PEACE! I HAVE A DATE!\"\n\nLike a fortuitously placed angel from the heavens, Mei appeared out of nowhere on Malizia's head. Liaena squinted up at her as she took a firmer grasp of handfuls of her current 'mounts' hair, the Draenei dancing around on the demons scalp as Malizia made grabs, jabbing at her with her blade. The demon was demonstrating the reaction to the assault as it had to Aleena earlier: I.E. discomfort and irritation. \"Please tell me you have something beside a sword! She won't die of acupuncture!\"\n\n\"I'm not sure what else I can do here…\"\n\nAssessing her options, none of them appeared stellar as Aleena scrambled to her feet, drawing her bow from her shoulder. Liaena clung on grimly, well aware of the likely ramifications if she lost her hold on her Night Elf mount. \nShe could remain in a shrunken state, using Aleena for protection. Or she could return to her own size and attempt to assist with the fight somehow. She still had a polymorph potion, but…lacked samples of suitable harmless animals to make use of it on the demon. Besides, recent evidence indicated that Malizia the Killer Rabbit with demonic superpowers was hardly an improvement. \n\n\"Also, where is Sharon!?\"\n\nLiaena cast her gaze about fruitlessly, before turning to glower at Mei – supposedly his bodyguard – a demonstration of anger which was doubtless entirely overlooked by the draenei currently going monno-a-monno with a giant demon.", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "When you were suddenly attacked by a big, angry and flying draenei wielding two oversized blades, most people would probably react with alarm and great concern!\n\nThis, however, was not the case with Malizia today however.\n\nAs Mei managed to catch onto the white hair and ponytail of her horned head, there was a moment of pause on Malizia's face, her bright, shining and yellow demonic eyes staring straight ahead in a deeply, unimpressed frown; the realization hitting her.\n\n\"Not her! Not this time again!\"\n\nThe way in which Malizia reached to catch the puny little draenei currently trying to give her a new haircut was in a manner less out of urgency, and more of bored routine and defeated resignation as she reached up to grab Mei! As she raised her arms up however, she would inadvertently press her chest together as well, causing her prodigious, red demonic bosom to suddenly squeeze in against Aleena and Liaena from both sides! Aleena, who was in the middle of drawing an arrow, would find the shot going wide as she was suddenly buried by two large red mounds from either side; now with barely a hand a pair of ears sticking out from between the smushed bosom. \n\n\"Gah! Why can't you go ruin someone else's day for once, Mei?! I don't have time for your 'epic duel of fates' or whatever it is you're hoping for!\"\n\nMalizia complained as she first sat up, and then began to rise back up; bits of debris and building material that had been pasted onto her back falling off in droves to land in the neat, Malizia-shaped figure imprint that her destructive backwards swan-dive had left in the block!\n\nMei, however, proved surprisingly elusive, and Malizia growled and gritted her demonic teeth as she found Mei constantly slipping out from between her fingers as she tried to snatch the little thing! Turning towards where she could see the flying gryphon riders with Kathlin in the distance, Malizia took one step forward, all the while shaking her horned head in an attempt to get Mei out of her hair; literally; her white ponytail slapping in every direction!\n\n\"I swear, if you don't get out right this second, I will,-\"\n\n...\n\n\" ... u-uoah! UOAAAHAH!\"\n\nMalizia's building threat was cut short however as she felt her hove get caught up mid stride, yet her body continuing to move forward. Looking down, she had expected to see her hoof tripped against the edge of the canal, but it was instead caught in a heavy metal rope stretched out across her path, and she could barely make out small, purple-ish and stealthed figures below holding the rope from the cover of buildings!\n\nAs she realized what was happening, and gravity took hold; there was only time for one thought.\n\n\"Oh crap!\"\n\n*CRASH-THOOOOOOOM-BOOM!\"\n\nWith a resounding, earth-shattering crash, the giant, towering and winged demoness who had just recently gotten off her butt and onto her feet, found herself now falling face first and firmly faceplanting the other end of the canal in yet another crash that caused a heavy carpet of dust to rise over the district!\n\nAs the dust slowly began to clear, Malizia pulled her face out of the ruined cobblestone street, using her hands to push her top slightly up from the ground, and stared forward, only to see standing before her; a tall, white haired Night Elf, dressed in the usual elaborate, finely furnished but also almost non-existent armor of Sentinels; Serphia, who was pointing a single curved elven blade up at her!\n\n\"You stumbled right into my trap, didn't you now?!\" Serphia exclaimed with unabashed pride, a wide, shining grin across her purple lips!\n\n\" ... seriously... ?\"\n\nMalizia, on the other hand, seemed less impressed. Or rather, her red, demonic face was contorted into that of yet another, deeply unimpressed frown as random bricks of cobblestone fell off her cheeks. She didn't know which was worse, the pun made by Serphia, or the fact that it seemed to have flown right over the Captain's already tall head!\n\nIn the meanwhile however, Serphia's silvery eyes would trail down from Malizia's face and onto a Mei who had also faceplanted the ground not far from Malizia's head, slowly recovering, and then over to a disheveled looking Aleena halfway out from between the voluptuous orbs that was Malizia's chest; the tiny figure of the human Liaena desperately clutching onto a strand of Aleena's vibrant, purple hair.\n\nA frown of disapproval passed across the Captain's face at the sight.\n\n\"And you guys can stop playing around any time now... \"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

[ { "text": "\"It's stopped pursuing us\" the Captain snapped, in a tone that mingled relief and frustration as he tugged on the Gryphon's bridle. \n\nKathlin peered back at the scene. It did not look, all things considered, to be what could be referred to as an ideal scenario in any sense. Malizia had managed to crush an entire block of houses and cause a miniature tsunami. Serphia had arrived on the scene. And the large Draenei had taken umbrage at the situation. \"Oh dear. That's not good\"\n\n\"The church had a plan, yes!? To get that creature out of the city??\"\n\n\"Yeeeess\" Kathlin said doubtfully, after a moment. While technically Liaena could be considered to be 'the church', practically speaking it was a stretch to say the least. Her hesitation was not lost on the Captain, who glowered at her. \"You said the paladins ordered this!?\"\n\n\"Er, yes, they'll approve\" Kathlin said hastily, before pointing back at the carnage behind them. \"We need to go back. I've got an idea\"\n\n\"….\"\n\nThere was a moment where the Captain obviously weighed up his odds of going monno-a-monno with the giant demon vs trusting the competence of the bizarre girl sitting behind him. It was a hallmark of the true carnage Malizia had inflicted on the range and file stormwind guard that he sighed, dug in his heels and urged the gryphon back towards the demon. The animal obeyed, albeit very reluctantly. \n\n\"Er, hello!\" Kathlin said as she peered over the gryphon's back to look down at Malizia. They were hovering above her, however just above grababble range. \"Soooo….I don't like this city, do you? I was thinking about going to the mountains north of here. Won't you join me?\"\n\nThe girl gulped as the demon's eyes obviously focused on her, before addressing the Captain. \"Run – er, fly.

Serphia, with her long, flowing and snow white hair would go on to exchange a number of lighting-fast strikes with Mei and her sprawling mass of snakes for hair! The Captain received a hoof-kick to her lower stomach that temporarily knocked the wind out of her even through her purple, steel-hard washboard stomach; but she would quickly return by neatly severing the head of three of the snakes on Mei's hair, effectively giving her violent 'haircut' that looked a lot more dramatic than it otherwise should have been due to the Draenei's hair consisting of a mass of living, writhing serpents!\n\n\"I WILL NOT STAND TO LISTEN TO THE VITRIOLIC RAMBLINGS OF AN ANGRY DRUNK WHO THINKS SHE CAN STAND BETWEEN ME AND MY RIGHTFUL KILL!\"\n\nSerphia announced loudly as she took a step back to point the razor sharp tip of her gleaming blade at Mei, now with a good six feet between them!\n\nMalizia, in the meantime, would casually observe the two fighting women whilst curiously chewing on the sword in her teeth, before spitting it out as it landed on the ground, neatly destroying a barrel as the heavy weapon landed on it! Her shimmering and unholy fel green eyes would linger on the back of Serphia and Mei's furious face, before moving to the side to glance up at the adorable, the irresistible Kathlin hovering in the air and about to fly away...\n\n\"She's soooo adorable... \"\n\n... and then back at the two idiots in front of her.\n\n\" ... and they are not!\"\n\nPondering on what next to, Malizia considered whether she should spend her next time hanging out to join in the \"epic\" fight of the two raging meatheads in front of her, or to go with the easier, far more enjoyable act of playing catch with that adorable little Kathlin girl.\n\nIt was an easy choice.\n\n\"Psst, mistress.. \"\n\n\"STAND DOWN AND APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR INSOLENT BEHAVIOR, AND I MAY YET FORGIVE YOU!\"\n\n\"Mistress!\"\n\nSerphia called out to Mei with a volume on her voice that was loud even for the Captain's already large form! All the while, off to her left, one of the sentinels had appeared from one of the alleyways and was frantically trying to get her attention, trying to whisper-shout to her as the Sentinel fiercely motioned towards Malizia - who was slowly getting back up; Aleena(and Liaena) sliding out of her bosom to land on the cobblestone; as the large, red winged demoness stood up to her full height over Serphia; turned around, and with a gleeful grin; threw herself into a wild (and destructive!) chase after Kathlin through another district! \n\n\"OH MY LITTLE BLOODSWORN DOVE, IT IS TIME TO CONSUMMATE OUR ETERNAL LOVE!\"\n\nOne unfortunate Sentinel that had forgotten to let go of the wire around Malizia's feet suddenly found herself pulled out from another alley further up ahead, losing her grip mid flight before being flung through the window of a chocolate shop on the other side with a crash!\n\n\"Mistress! She's escaping!!\"\n\n\"IF YOU DO NOT, THEN I WILL HAPPILY SHOW WHAT A MILLENNIUM OF KELDOREI DEADLY MARTIAL ARTS SECRETS CAN,-... what!!?!\" Serphia continued, before she found herself unable to ignore the yelling of one of her sentinels any longer, only to turn around and see Malizia no longer present; the only things left in the streets being a single, disheveled looking purple haired Aleena, and some groans emanating from one of the shop windows.\n\n\"You!\" Serphia's head immediately snapped back to Mei.\n\"YOU LET HER ESCAPE, YOU FOOL! YOU WILL PAY,- mmmngh... \"\n\nIn a flash, the murderous intent of the Captain's burning, silvery eyes was replaced with a sudden look of satisfaction as Serphia turned her head to look off to the side, lips curling into a coy smile as her wide hips began shifting from side to side.\n\n\" ... mmhm, you'll pay... but later!\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

[ { "text": "\"I can't help but think that if I stay here, I will end up sharing space with Falere and Rithrynn. Serphia's butt has its own gravitational attraction\"\nSo were Liaena's thoughts as she clung to the Night Elf's hair like a lifetime, while in the meantime taking the chance to assess her options. On the plus side, Malizia was no longer actively making debris-angels out of the wreckage of buildings around them. Instead, they had the pleasure of a group of heavily armed men who had charged out of a portal to look confusedly around…late to the party obviously. Squinting at their insignias, the girl was unable to immediately make them out. Friend or foe?\n\n\"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!\"\n\n….It would seem the decision had been made for them. Foe, apparently. \n\n\"For the love of the light, I am not staying here until I get sat on!\"\n\nDigging into her pockets, Liaena silently mourned the loss of her satchel – the instigating event of this entire mess – as she finally dragged a small vial out of a pocket. Upending it to down the contents, the girl let go of Alyssa's hair to fall to the floor, growing rapidly as she did so to land neatly on both feet a moment later, normal size – for her – again. \n\nA larger target, perhaps. But at least her fate would no longer involve a new role as someone else bowel stimulation. \n\n\"Captain!\"\n\nSpeaking of which, Serphia was uncharacteristically separate from the current bloodbath now involving Malizia, hanging back from the fight with a far away happy expression on her face. Liaena gave the mercenaries a very wide berth as she headed over, waving a hand to catch the (somewhat vacant) Night Elfs attention. \n\n\"Captain – that demon will be lured out of the city to the mountains north of here! If you follow, you can defeat it!\"\n\nThe girl glanced around her to assess their surroundings. There were currently no signs of the normal Stormwind Guard. Presumably because they weren't suicidal. However with the absence of Malizia and depending on how Mei's recent assault worked up, it was possible someone would pluck up the courage to make a few arrest attempts. \"Also, Captain – the human guards may get in the way if you stay here\"\n\nA further boost to her mood could surely not hurt. The girl eyed Serphia's midriff speculatively, then raised her voice slightly so as to hopefully attract the attention of the elves stuck inside it \"They won't appreciate you the way Rithrynn does\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"Elune, I can't believe this. How am I ever going to get out? This is all Li's fault!\" Rithrynn frowned, the furious little warrioress squirming angrily about in the darkness.\n\n\"That's what being a traitor gets you! It's going to be that wretched human's turn soon enough!\"\n\nThe familiar, slightly muffled voice of Falere sounded overhead of Rithrynn. Rithrynn merely growled as she continued squirming.\n\n\"Shut up! With all the ass-kissing you have been doing with Mistress for the past years, you should be overjoyed at where you are... bitch!\"\n\n\"Ohhh you littl,-\"\n\n\"Wait!\" \n\nRithrynn's ears suddenly twitched, as a familiar, though heavily muffled voice could be heard emanating from far away, on the outside. Upon listening closer, she immediately realised it was Liaena's! However, the initial hope that it had sparked in Rithrynn's chest was soon overtaken by a huge frown that suddenly landed on her face, as she heard the rest of it!\n\n\"They won't.... appreciate you... the way Rithrynn does\"\n\n\"Heh, seems your accomplice has finally and inevitably betrayed y,-\"\n\n*KICK*\n\n\"LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!\"\n\nFalere's taunting and gloating was promptly shut down as the now enraged Rithrynn shot a kick right up into the other elf, shooting Falere straight up and deeper than ever into the depths of Serphia's large amazonian butt!\n\n\"LII! I SWEAR ONCE I GET OUT, I WILL SHOVE YOU UP FALERE'S ASS, AND THEN SHOVE HER SO FAR UP SERPHIA'S ASS, NO ONE WILL EVER BE ABLE TO RECOVER EITHER OF YOU!\"\n\nRithrynn screamed through furious teeth as she squirmed and wriggled like mad, trying to get out in a frenzied storm of motions!\n\n*\n\n\"Mmmm?\" Serphia only half registered the approaching human as she addressed her, moving one silvery eye lazily over to look down at the shorter girl.\n\n\"It is I who am in charge here, you better... mhm!\" Serphia's eyes would once again close for a moment as the towering Night Elven Captain suddenly pushed her chest slightly forward, and clenched her large buttocks firmly together around her loincloth as she suddenly felt Falere just thrust herself up inside of her. To the skilled listener, one could almost hear the series of unspeakable but heavily muffled curses from Rithrynn, emanating somewhere deep within Serphia's wide rump!\n\n\" ... hhhh, I can't believe I didn't give you this job earlier... \" Serphia muttered, half distracted, before remembering Liaena, and turned to look down at her.\n\n\"I see your point. It is only fair that I be the one to kill the demon! The situation around here is under control regardless... \"\n\nWith that, Serphia turned to look over at the berserking Draenei and the now terrified mercenaries, just in time to see the heavily plated, and severed, upper torso of one of the mercs fly above them overhead, and land in a bloodied mess on the cobblestone a few feet away.\n\nThe heavy armor of the mercenaries seemed to offer them little protection against the oversized blade of he 8ft tall draenei berserker, and some of the Night Elven Sentinels whom had watched the scene from above the rooftops and had nocked their arrows, slowly seemed to lower their bows. The watching sentinels were apparently coming to the conclusion that the fight was already decided, and that to add arrows would not just be unnecessary, and overkill, but a totally unnecessary overkill beyond what would normally be considered overkill as Meirie was going about like an unstoppable tornado of blood and death!\n\nTo call the whole thing a bloody mess... would be an understatement!\n\n\"Warriors! We are leaving! We have a bigger prey to catch!\" Serphia would take a break from her enjoyment to announce loudly to the rest of her warriors as they dispersed, some mounting their nightsabers!\n\nWith a sharp whistle from the Captain, a huge, black furred nightsaber with a terrified girl bound and tied on top of its back would charge out from one of the nearby houses and skid to a halt on its razor sharp claws next to them.\nThe tall Captain would easily mount the already large nightsaber, before she'd suddenly reach down and grab Liaena by the collar before effortlessly plopping her down between herself and Silje!\n\n\"Please! Let me down, let me down! I don't want to go on this ride any further!\"\n\nSilje desperately pleaded from right behind Liaena, although Serphia firmly ignored her, instead giving Ripfang a firm command as the large nightsaber began to leap and bound through the half-destroyed city streets, the initial momentum almost threatening to throw Liaena right off, if it had not been for the other human girl tied and bound behind her to stop her! Serphia, on the other hand, would also inch a little back, her large rump now firmly smushing Liaena between herself and Silje!\n\nAs they rode through the city, following the literal trail of destruction left behind by the over-eager giant demoness that was currently chasing Kathlin like a dog chasing a butterfly, the Captain would tilt her ashen her slightly as she looked back at Liaena(or what she could see of the little human) with one silvery eye. \n\n\"Say, human... \" Serphia started, but between the clear enjoyment that the Captain was taking from the bouncy ride; thanks to the 'extra passengers', there was an obvious sound of hesitation in the Captain's voice for whatever she was about to ask. \n\"This demon was your fault... do you have any ideas on how we are to take her down?\"\n\n...\n\n\"Let me emphasise that I, as a devoted warrior of the goddess, am fully capable of doing this - alone if need be, but... if you have any suggestions, I might hear them out... !\"", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" } ]

My bodyguard just abandoned us, I'm afraid.\"\n\nSharon gave Liaena an apologetic look, before casting a glance up at Shani, whose eyes glared back at the High Elf like diamonds taken from the deepest, darkest flaming pits of the Nether.\n\n\"Well, except you of course. Thanks.\"\n\nHe quickly turned away from Shani again before the Sentinel could come up with an excuse to hate him even more, returning his attention to Liaena once more. Sharon looked over his battered lover. She had taken the worst of the grenade, with bruises and scratches. An obvious need for severe dis-infection considering their current whereabouts even if there were mostly just scrapes.\n\n\"Can you run? We ought to follow them. The sewer is huge. Even if they get the assassins, they might get lost down here.\"\n\n---\n\n\"Move you dogs, they're coming in fast!\" Donald cried out as the three men ran as fast as they could through the sewer. Any idea to take breaks at each corner and take potshots at the Night Elves had been completely discarded in favor of running as fast as they could, with the Night Elves closing in behind them and fast.\n\n\"Ye don't say! There real mad now!\" Smokey laughed while dropping bombs as they went in hope of slowing the Night Elves down.\n\n\"We're here. Split up!\" Sevarian, who was running ahead; suddenly called out as the three assassins crossed a last corner and arrived at a plateau across a larger open space. They were in an underground brick cistern, with a small lake filled with pillars and small walkways. There was also one stair leading up to a hallway above them, and another entrance leading into a darker path to their right.\n\nThe three assassins immediately dispersed, heading each their own seperate direction. Donald raced down into the darker path to the side, while Sevarian sprinted up the stairs to the level above.\nLastly, Smokey ran as fast as his short legs could carry him out across the thin sidewalk leading him through the cistern. Short of the numerous supportive pylons around him, the area above the water was completely exposed as he tried to make his way through the murky water on a collection of worn brick walkways and makeshift bridges consisting of wooden boards.\nThe water, although it may once have been used for drinking; was muddy and grimy, filled with all manners of filth and decay that had been washed into this dead end of the sewer.\n\n\"Bloody 'ell, why do I always end up with the worst deal? Cursed death trap, this is!\" Smokey mumbled to himself as he did his best not to fall off the slippery ledges, with the occasional bubbles coming up from the water below him.", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" }, { "text": "\"RITHRYNN!

From the apologetic expression on his face, he clearly knew anyway. Although assuming they actually survived this incident, Liaena fully intended to bring it up later when discussing the long term employment of Serphia. \"I can run. Let's go\"\n\n*\n\nIt took several minutes of desperate running through the sewer, with Shani pointedly jogging exaggeratedly effortlessly beside them before the tunnel opened out a massive cistern. Three exits, multiple scorch marks on the walls, no Night Elves.\n\nHalting in the entrance to the cistern, Liaena took the opportunity to catch her breath as she bent over and put her hands on her knees. The multitude of scrapes and cuts, some superficial, some deeper that she had taken in the explosion were throbbing, and she was pretty sure she was getting a stitch. At the very least she was doing much better than poor Lord Graymoon, who was by this point a deep rich magenta in the face and by far the slowest member of the party.\n\n\"They…they came through here…at least\" Liaena remarked as she eventually caught her breath.

This is a terrible way to impress your teacher!\" Sevarian complained, before stepping closer to the edge.\n\"Staff!\"\n\n\"Yes, Master... \" The shadowy figure mumbled as he departed further back into the corridor, only to return shortly after with a black wooden staff adorned with a green gem at the shaft.\n\" ... and I'm telling you, I would have done better if you had given me proper tools to work with, not just animal bones.\"\n\nSevarian ignored the last statement, as the shadow mage was already preoccupied with an inaudible incantation of his own. As he focused on the killing ground below, he suddenly extended his arms to either side; before a piercing shriek penetrated the whole room and the tunnels beyond. All around the two Night Elves, the scattered bones of their undead foes that they had defeated suddenly began to move and float around; until they were reshaped into their previous designs, restored in form and power. For every skeleton that Serphia trashed, two more were conjured from the heaps of bones to take its place.\n\n*\n\n\"Liaena, are you alright?\" Sharon asked as he made the last leap onto the platform of Rithrynn and Liaena.

And, of course; the fact that she was covered in sewer from top to toe.\n\nTurning towards the Night Elf who seemed hardly touched by the experience in the sewer short of a few drops of sweat, Sharon threw Rithrynn a grateful smile.\n\n\"Thanks, Rithrynn. You arrived just in time.\" Sharon said. Right now he was just grateful that Liaena was unharmed and still very much alive.

YOUR MISTRESS NEEDS YOU TO FIGHT ALONGSIDE HER RIGHT NOW, SO GET MOVING!

That being said, landing on a heap of pointy bones had not been a very comfortable experience either!\nSerphia quickly rolled forward and sat up, moving one arm behind her back to pull out a broken bone that had plastered itself onto her back. Her body was aching from top to toe after being hit by the dark spell, and she felt a stinging stab of pain in her lower chest where the bullet had entered. Deep, purple blood had left a clear mark on her clothes around the wound.\n\n*BOOM*\n\nAn explosion could suddenly be heard behind her as the bone wall that had been erected at the entrance to the room was shattered to pieces, and Rithrynn, Sharon, Shani, Liaena and the rest of the sentinels swarmed the room - hacking down whatever skeletal creations that still remained.\nBehind them came a last sentinel, dragging Donald who had yet to offer much resistance whatsoever against his capture.\n\n\"Cursed ape.\" Serphia muttered under her breath as she studied her own bullet wound, her hand a little shaken after whatever curse Sevarian had cast at her. This was not one of the Captain's proudest moments as she sat on the floor, not at all.\nShe had been bested by a degenerated monkey, who had gotten away with his life still intact from this insolence no less! Although Serphia was grateful for the cavalry that had just arrived, no matter how late they had been; it was no less embarrassing to be found wounded and beaten on the floor. At least she was surrounded by enough piles of bone to prove that she had not gone down easily.\n\n\"Mistress, are you alright?!\" Rithrynn called out, and Serphia turned around, giving her sentinel a rather displeased look in return.\n\n\"Better than the idiots who thought they could stop me... \" Serphia said as she peered around in the room.

Stepping back to get a better look, her hopes faded into nothing as she picked out a tuft of brown hair, and clearly humanish features.*\"Dammit\"*\n\n\"Hey, was there anyone else in here?\"\n\nThis question was directed at Vashi, who had disentangled herself from the horsehead and was busy bashing it into non-animation with the end of her staff. Glancing at Liaena, her interests in playing up the magnitude of the host they had quelled clearly overwhelmed her sensitivities in talking to a human. \"Ohhh, yeah. They ran in fear rather than face the wrath of my Mistress. Human filth, fel na-thar!\"\n\n\"Uhuh\"\n\nCupping a hand around a bleeding injury on her chest, Serphia was clearly injured and pretending that she didn't care.

From the glare she received in return, it was probably a massive elven faux pas to insinuate that the great and powerful sentinel captain was even capable of shedding blood, much less to a mere human.

A gunshot wound like that would have left most people lying on the ground and writhing in pain, and possibly a lot of panic as well.\n\nThe fact that Serphia was still walking about with nothing less than a slight hindrance certainly helped reinforce the image of Serphia as a nail eating, unstoppable Jaggernaut in Sharon's eyes.\n\n\"After we're done here, it might be best to return to the Inn.

Licking a finger before opening it at a marked page, she glanced carefully up at Rithrynn again. \"…I have a question\"\n\n\"….yeah?\"\n\nGlancing quickly at the exit that Naliyah had just left by, Kathlin looked up at Rithrynn again. \"what were the planks*for*?\"", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "*\"The bitch!\"*\n\nAstrid's head snapped to Liaena, just as the Night Elf's gaze fell upon her. The dagger behind Liaena was already gently squeezing its tip against Liaena's back, needing only the slightest force to push through and penetrate through her clothes and skin. That damnable girl was trying to set her up!\n\nBut stabbing the girl wouldn't do much good now. She was currently the center of attention for a big Night Elf towering in front of them. It would probably only make the situation*worse*.\n\n*\"Where had she even come from?!\"*\n\nAstrid groaned mentally at the fact the elf had surprised her. She had spent hours charting every patrol pattern and point of interest around the house. This Night Elf had seemingly come out of the blue from nowhere!\nWhat had begun as a brilliantly easy and managable kidnapping had quickly taken a turn for the worst as her luck had failed her yet again!\n\n\"Noooo-no, no no no... \" Astrid was quick to answer, patting Liaena endearingly on the top of her head.\n\"You are mistaken, I don't know Sharon at all.\"\n\nWith eyes shifting between Liaena and Ashei standing in front of her; Astrid suddenly realized that she was still wearing her mask, something that didn't help her make herself look any more inconspicuous. Quickly moving one hand up to the shroud around her lower face, she pulled it down so that the Night Elf could see her face, conjuring up a broad smile.\n\n\"Though, I think you will find his house if you continue that way... \"\n\nAstrid said as she raised her available hand up into the air, pointing with her thumb back at the street behind them from where Liaena had originally come from. Throwing an almost pleading look up at Ashei, the rogue prayed that the Night Elf would accept the direction and just move on!", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": "Sharon Daerin'Lei" } ]

I thought you said your human ate anything\"\n\n\"W-wait! What I mean is….that's probably not a very good idea\" Kathlin bolted out of her chair hurriedly to back away from the elf that was advancing upon her \"This thing, is for an experiment right?\"\n\n\"….Yes?\"\n\n\"Right. Right. Then using me as a test subject is a terrible idea\" Kathlin said hastily. Gradually working her way toward the door, she held out a remonstrating hand toward Vashi, who at the very least seemed to be listening somewhat.\n\"Li…that is,*I*take so many potions that any results you get are going to be completely different from what you'd get from anyone else. Ideally, um…what you'd want is a person, who'd only taken one potion, y'know as a control measure. And that's not me. Not me at…all\"\n\nPausing in front of the door, Kathlin gave Vashi a weak smile as she backed into it. \"I, uh, got to go\"\n\n\"Wut?\"\n\nThe swinging empty door greeted Vashi in return as she gave it a confused look.

Assassin or Night Elf? When it came to which she liked more, it was fairly close, but Ashei did attain an extremely narrow victory.\n\n\"Oh. I'm going to Mister Dal'diebs house too\" Liaena explained innocently. Holding her satchel up, she shook it around for evidence, making the unfortunate Donald inside feel even more ill. \"I got asked to do shopping, but…then I got lost in the snow. That's why I was asking my friend here the way\"\n\nWalking casually away from Astrid, Liaena moved closer to Ashei as she started carefully walking in the same direction as the Night Elf.

Choosing to remain idle and not make any sudden moves, she watched as Ashei and Liaena walked away, the little girl leaning on the Night Elf's hips with her arms around her waist as if Ashei was her big protector or something. If it hadn't been for the fact that she knew the surrounding context, Astrid could imagine that she could otherwise easily have mistaken Ashei and Liaena for being in an intimate relationship or something judging by how close they walked.\n\nThis was the moment that most rogues would view as failed, and would leave.\nHowever, there was just something about the human girls' attitude that stabbed at Astrid's professional pride. Not to mention the frustration from potentially losing her only clue as to Donald's whereabouts!\n\nAs Ashei and Liaena had walked a few feet ahead, Astrid suddenly took a step forward behind them. Retrieving a blackened bamboo blowpipe from her cloak, she raised it up to her mouth before blowing; sending a tranquilizer dart the size of a small needle flying through the air towards the Night Elf! Liaena, who had been throwing frequent looks behind her, saw Astrid with the blowpipe; but by that time, it was already too late!\nThe dart found its mark, hitting the back of Ashei's neck above her collar and beneath her helmet, where it dug its way through her hood, hair and eventually into her skin.\n\n*\"Now you are mine, bitch... \"*Astrid muttered to herself as her eyes shifted towards Liaena, throwing the human girl a devilish grin.", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": null } ]

Glancing around nervously, the girl saw a drunk Night Elf peek into the room that they had just crashed through, visibly shrug at the sight, and wander off clutching a bottle.\n\n**\"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER!?\"**\n\n\"…Nothing!\" Kathlin protested quickly. The girl noticed an eyetwitch from the Night Elf that strongly suggested that something extremely painful was inbound very soon, and raised her hands in a placating gesture. \"I'm just….trying to help. I'm a friend of hers too\"\n\nIn the small lull that this comment afforded her, Kathlin chewed on her lip worriedly as she considered the situation, before pointing a finger up at the Night Elf. \"You're Rithrynn, right? So if Liaena was….theoretically off doing something she didn't want anyone else to know about, then it wouldn't be**too**bad for you to know as well? And you wouldn't tell anyone else? Theoretically\"\n\n\"……\"\n\n\"…Could you just shut the door?\" Kathlin suggested cautiously into the silence that greeted this pronouncement, pointing over Rithrynn's shoulder at the entirely open doorway, door swinging open, for anyone to walk in and overhear the conversation. \"…Then, I'll explain. Promise\"\n\n*\n\nLiaena gave a yelp of surprise and pain as Ashei collapsed right on top of her, the little girl failing to step back quickly enough to avoid the falling elf.

I didn't thought she'd go that far!\"*\n\nAbout to levitate the elf off her, and probably throw her at Astrid, Liaena hesitated at the last moment.\n\n *\"….\"\n\n\"How much do I want to stay in character?\"*\n\n*CLONK*\n\nThat moment of indecision had cost her dearly, as Astrid, having started to run after them the moment Ashei had hit the floor, had jumped over the Night Elf and walloped the little girl solidly around the back of the head with the blackjack. Liaena immediately crumpled into the snow as Astrid put all her strength into shoving the snoring Night Elf away with a grunt of pain, before leaning over to grab the unconscious girl by the collar.\n\nAs Astrids fingers closed around her clothes Liaena suddenly leapt into life with a vengeance; latching onto the woman's arm to pull herself to her feet as she tore herself free. The pain in her head was intense, but it didn't stop her hitting out with all her strength for Astrids bad shoulder while the woman was still stepping back in shock at the unexpected assault.\n\nThe resulting scream from Astrid was beautiful as Liaena gouged her fingers into the half-healed cut through the layer of bandages. The girl scratched, hit, kicked and punched at the other for all that she was worth as she bore down on the woman, hoping to overpower the rogue under the initial surprise attack of blows!", "username": "Feychild", "char_name": null }, { "text": "\"Ohhh, little bitch! Gah!\" Astrid snarled as she desperately defended herself against Liaena's frenzied attack! Liaena had taken the rogue by surprise, and been quite talented at locating her weak point which was her shoulder - a weakness that Liaena had not taken for granted in her hysterical assault.\n\nYet past the first barrage of assaults, the fight began to go considerably better while Astrid stepped back and blocked most of the girl's attack. Past the original surprise, Astrid quickly recognized that there was little form or rythm to Liaena's attack, as Liaena seemed to switch between angrily slapping to overly telegraphed attacks that the assassin easily countered. The worst she could do past Astrid's defense was pulling her hair and wasted kicks that, while uncomfortable; did not do much actual damage.\n\nAs Liaena tried to send yet another kick into her side, Astrid suddenly reached out and snatched Liaena's left foot mid air. Her other arm was still weak however, and could not do much more than merely block Liaena's flailing arms as the rabid girl hammered her fists down at her as if she was some sort of anvil.\nLatching her still healthy arm properly around Liaena's foot that she had grabbed, Astrid began to suddenly walked forward - pushing Liaena off her balance and eventually tipping her over; as both of the women landed on the snoring body of Ashei!\n\nLanding on top of Liaena, Astrid immediately followed up with a headbutt right into Liaena's template; an exchange that while painful ultimately ended with being worse for Liaena.\nYet to her surprise, Liaena still fought back! Although she was definitely not a professional fighter of any kind, Astrid was thoroughly impressed by the little girl's sheer resilience and endurance! One would have thought that she was a part-time boxing bag for the Night Elves in her spare time!\n\n\"Why won't you just cooperate you stupid cow!\" Astrid railed furiously as she snuck her arm past Liaena's guard, giving the girl a short but firm hit in the side of her jawbone!\n\"WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO DO IT THE HARD WAY?!\"", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": null } ]

The hallmark of Liaena, besides her lack of sanity or any sense of self preservation was the fact that she was more than capable of spinning a half-decent lie at worst.\n\n\"One would have thought that her royal stuntiness; mistress of lies would at least have chosen a better decoy... \" Rithrynn mumbled to herself, clearly more disappointed than she was angry.\nAs her mind drifted back over all the things she had done for the imposter she had thought to Liaena at first, she couldn't help but grimace. If she had known it had been just one of Liaena's pawns, she would have just left Kathlin back at the tournament table and been done with it!\n\n*\"Elune, I hate that girl sometimes... \"*\n\n*Crash*\n\n\"Rithy, have you seen the human assassin?!\" Shani called out into the room as she burst in through the door, almost knocking it down in the process. As she hastily scanned the room, her eyes landed on Rithrynn with a desperate gaze. The Night Elf shuffled her lips for a bit, shrugging her shoulders before throwing the frantic Shani a passive and indifferent look back.\n\n\"Nope... \"\n\n\"Goddess, shit-shit-shit! Where the hell is he?!!\" Shani grinned her teeth before slamming the door shut, continuing down the corridor. The sentinel's stressed curses could clearly be heard through the door before she eventually vanished out of hearing range.

The elfs bad mood was blatantly obvious, with mingled anger, frustration and worry clear on her face. \"…I think I know a way to contact her though\"\n\n\"….\"\n\n\"You do?\"\n\n\"Yeah.\" the girl responded warily.

The only life in the room besides themselves was the small white owl perched beside the bed, who removed her head from under her wing to give them a baleful look as Kathlin approached. \"Hi, Hester. How're you doing?\"\n\nExtending her arm, the owl glared for a brief moment longer before deigning to walk up her sleeve to sit haughtily on her shoulder. Producing a treat out of her pocket to wave it enticingly in front of the birds face, Hester snatched it out of the air to begin to tear into it savagely. \"Hester's really good at tracking Li when she vanishes like this.

I'm pretty sure they're because of being exposed to some sort of arcane activity, and as for her diet—\"\n\nIn full flow, the girl caught the expression on Rithrynn's face and stopped abruptly. \"Uhh….sorry.

I didn't mean any harm…\"\n\n*Ticktickticktickticktickticktick…*\n\nGathering the satchel in her arms, Liaena straightened up to her full height as she shoved the open mouth of the bag up towards Ashei's face for her to look into.

And I picked up Ashei on the way!\" Rithrynn explained as she jerked a thumb over her shoulder, pointing back at Ashei who stared past her head.\n\n\"You took your sweet time, Ash!\" Falaani commented as she fiddled with the keys and opened the gate, allowing Rithrynn and Ashei to pass through into Sharon's frozen gardens on their nightsaber.\n\"Did you meet a charming human on the way?\"\n\n\"Shut up.\" Ashei growled back at Falaani's mocking remark, throwing the smirking sentinel a dangerous look as they passed her. Dismounting from Nisha once they arrived at the grounds before the mansion, Rithrynn turned to look up at Ashei.\n\n\"Could you stable her?\" Rithrynn asked as she nodded her head towards Nisha. Ashei raised an eyebrow and was about to talk, but RIthrynn quickly stepped in before her.\n\" .... that's an order, by the way!

The living room sounded quiet by comparison to what it had been earlier during Donald's escape, yet that did not mean that it did not play host to its fair share of noise, laughter, shouts and occasional scream from the celebrating occupants.\n\nQuietly stepping through the atrium and to the stairs, Rithrynn headed up towards Sharon's office.\n\nUpon reaching the door, she stopped, carefully raising her hand as she threw a quick look in either direction to make sure that the corridor was empty; before violently bashing the bottom of her fist against the door, making it shake!\n\n***BANG*\n*BANG*\n*BANG***", "username": "Rithy", "char_name": "Rithrynn Syn'Dial" }, { "text": "Upon hearing Liaena's little scheme of 'barrowing' the payment from Rithrynn's loot, Doin burst into a bellowing laughter; with Frarn joining in in the background.\n\n\"Hah!

No need to tear down the door!\" The High Elf said as he grabbed the handle and turned it around, before pulling the door to the side to look out into the corridor.

You should go and sort out our rooms. Go on, shoo\" Liaena butted in loudly and cheerfully.

However, he had not quite expected the complete silence and quiet outburst that she had displayed, something that Shani had been made to feel the consequences of.\n\n\"Is that your grip fading, sir?\" Suddenly sounded the dry voice of Friedrick, asking Sharon. The High Elf gazed to the other side to see Friedrick approach him, the butler ever so vigilant when it came to watching over the affairs within the house.

Gazing out across the small square outside, the snowfall had simmered down, making it easier to see.

This won't hurt\"\n\n\"Whaa? Whaddya – ZzzzzZZzzzzzzzz\"\n\nWithdrawing the needle and setting the syringe to one side, Kathlin surveyed the gushing wound on Doins shoulder with an air of dismay.

There are quite a lot of merc outfits in the city. The White Hands have just been the most successful lately. These armies usually come in trends, with fleeting popularity and success. Or at least that's the way it has been so far. It figures the bureaucrats simply see the White Hand as just another temporary outfit.\"\n\nDarian took another sip from his mug, which he had barely touched. Pausing for a moment, the mercenary lieutenant looked distantly into the empty air for a while, before his gaze shifted back to Liaena and Kathlin.\n\n\"The man you saw on the outside who commanded the lillies was called David Portwright, a mage of some sort.

[ { "text": "Outside in the city, Stormwind had very much awoken. It might not have been a festival or other religious day in the cathedral district, but all of the shops were open for trade with their awnings hung out and carriages and pedestrians were rushing back and forth. It was in the middle of all of this that a fairly unremarkable girl with brown hair in crumpled robes strolled down the street, keeping a sharp eye out around her for anything…unremarkable.\n\n*\"One district…just one district to search in. How hard could it be?\"*\n\nLiaena felt in her pocket for the purse that she had taken with her from Sharons house. It felt heavy, which was a sensation she still wasn't used to. Frivolous expenditure of her boyfriends money was still something that she had very solidly in her head as a Rithrynn-Move, but this was clearly an activity that could be chalked up to the Saving Sharons Life fund. It was with this in mind that she crossed the road to walk into one of the more prestigious, expensive-looking boutiques in the area.\n\nOnce she was inside an assistant was quick to approach her, while also eying up her rather dowdy robes, mussed hair and dirty satchel. \"Can I help you?\" the girl enquired, while looking as though she would prefer her sentence to finish with: 'leave'.\n\n\"Oh. Yes.\" Liaena said sweetly. Glancing around, she peered as some of the racks of clothing. \"I want a new outfit. Something in your latest fashion…oh, and do you do hair, too?\"\n\nIt was some time later that Liaena finally exited the boutique. She was now wearing a fitted wool dress that while still managing to remain relatively functional, screamed style and expense. A new blue cloak with cream fur trimmings hung loosely around her shoulders and Kathlins long, straggly hair had been washed and twisted into a bun. A new leather bag was carried from one shoulder.\n\nThe bag was the only point that Liaena had actually fought over with the eager shop assistants. Her insistence on size and convenience had clashed with their opinion on the Latest In Thing, and they had eventually compromised on something that while not the height of the fashion, was still passable in their eyes with the rest of the ensemble. It was actually quite a nice upgrade over her old satchel, Liaena mused as she walked down the steps into the street and immediately flagged down a cab. Where she was going was in fact just around the corner, but that wasn't the point.\n\nWhat was around the corner was in fact the most prestigious estate agent in the Cathedral District. The server behind the front desk glanced up at Liaena entered, took in her general attire and demeanour and started to rise to his feet. \"Can I help you?\"\n\n\"I would like to speak to your manager. Can you arrange that?\"\n\n\"Uh\" the man glanced behind him, then back at her again. \"Pardon me, Ma'am, but do you have an appointment?\"\n\n\"No\" Liaena whispered. Leaning forward, she slid a solid gold piece across the table towards the service. \"Could you possibly see if he would make time for me?\"\n\n*\n\nIt was in a remarkably short space of time that Liaena had been ushered into a cushy office, to be greeted by a portly man that reminded her strongly of Lord Graymoon. The thought stuck in her mind and made her have to bite back laughter as he offered her a drink, which she declined. \"And what can I do for you this morning, my dear?\"\n\nLiaena sunk into one of the cushy chair, before looking back at the overweight house broker. \"I have a favour to ask you, sir\"\n\n\"Oh?\" The mans curiosity was clearly piqued, although it was tempered with disappointment that her response hadn't been 'sell me an extremely expensive house' as he gave her a sharp look. \"And what would that be?\"\n\nLiaena paused, taking a deep, shuddering breath before continuing. \"I am looking for a friend of mine.

Looking down at the High ELf for a moment, she suddenly gave him a last hug. Holding him tight, she gave him a plolonged kiss, before finally letting him go.\n\n\"Please don't make me wait too long.\" Rithrynn said to his face, before finally smiling. She really hated the uncertainty of not knowing when she'd see Sherpa again. The thought of having to wait for months, or even years till next time wasn't any good to her.\n\nAfter Sherpa had left, Rithrynn found herself alone in the living room.\n\nAs the thoughts of Sherpa finally left her head, she began to look around. It was probably a good idea to make her way back to the mansion before her sisters would start asking questions about her absence. Fortunately there was currently no Falere around to question her every move, thanks to Liaena, and so with any luck there shouldn't be any problems.

Opening the door, she looked into the tenebrous room which for the moment was very silent.\n\n\"Nisha, come girl! We are leaving!\" Rithrynn called out loud into the room. However, nothing answered. Moving her head further in, Rithrynn scanned the room and saw a large, flurry hairball lying in the congealed mess of torn textile, strewn feathers and broken wood that had once been the double bed of the room. It was no one else but Nisha, the large nightsaber, whom was currently sleeping rather contently.\nNisha opened her eyes when Rithrynn entered her room, peering intently at the sentinel from her lying position amidst the ruined room.\n\n\"I said, we are leaving now! Do you always have to be this difficult?\" Rithrynn called out at the lazy animal.\n\"Well, so it looks like I just have to leave you here. Ahh well, that's a pity.

Sorry about that, heh.\"\n\nOn the outside, shocked bystanders completely froze up as the large feline descended from the stairs and landed in the middle of the road!

Pulling a small vial that was pitch black inside out of her bag, she took a final look around for spies before tilting her head back to gulp the contents down. A moment later she grimaced and braced herself against the wall as her insides started to jump about like snakes.\n\nIt took less than a minute for the worst of the effects to wear off as Liaena shakily held her hands up to check them, then reached for a strand of hair to look at the colour.

The brass bucket normally laid out for canes and staves by the entrance had been occupied by a plethora of spears, bows and other bizarre weapons from the Night Elves's vicious arsenal.\n\n\"Do not worry yourself, the vast majority of the elves are restricted to the first and basement level, and most in the living room.\" Friedrick explained as he lead Rae'liel through the battlefield that was the atrium.

That very same guard***abandons her post***to warn you of me, a person who is your*ally*in this moment, to which you set forth the drums of War against someone who isn't even affiliated with the Horde you so despise!\" A judgemental glare met Falaani at that moment as Rae'liel finished her point. \"Any Scryer who would do the same would have been dealt fifty lashes or death.\"\n\nQuickly, her tone turned even to a mocking state as her arrogance further found words. \"No wonder the Orcs, in all their stupidity and blood lusting savagery have been so successful in the deforestation of Ashenvale; they've been fighting another race that is just as equally idiotic and uncivilized. Green or violet skinned, it matters not; both are equally foolish.\" Shaking her head with another roll of her eyes, she took the thought of something far more grave.\n\n\"Did you ever think at all in all your zealotry against someone who is not even your enemy, Captain? With all of your huntresses here, just who is guarding the home of the Quel'Dorei you've been assigned to keep safe?

The moment she shifted however, was when the Paladin reacted in kind. In a deft click of metal, her shield came to bear just in time for the foot to come upward in a brutally rash surprise attack. Unable to brace herself properly in time, the light-touched warrior was flung and across the table, landing hard against the chair before collapsing to the ground.\n\nUninjured thanks to both her armor and agility alike, she quickly stood just as the towering Night Elf bellowed yet another barbaric insult even in spite of her dishonorable surprise attack. Scowling only subtly, Rae still kept her shield in her grasp as the door shut with a thunderous rattle.\n\n\"I'm fine, Sharon. You know all too well that I've been dealt worse.\" She responded sharply to the first question to her condition. As Frederick came into the room in a clout of worry, she watched silently as he slumped in relief to see that the gathered and weathered party was in healthy condition. At the mention of ice however, the Paladin simply held her hand up in protest.\n\n\"I shan't need it, thank you though. Yet it will be wise to still retrieve some. The captain, Serphia, was it? She will need it direly so soon.\" Marching across the room and brushing past a newly panicked Butler and a likely dumbfounded Sharon and Line a as the sliding of steel could be heard as her sword was drawn from her scabbard. \"Fret not, I will only repay what has been dealt to me. It is only fair in law, no? They did shoot first on both occasions for little reason other than poor judgement.\"\n\nThen disappearing from the doorway as her fingertips brushed past the oaken lined doorway, she headed off in the direction where the Huntresses had gone with only one objective on her mind: Retribution.\n\nCatching up to the group was an easy enough task, as was garnering their attention. \"Oh captain! My captain!\" The Sin'Dorei called out in a mocking tone, bringing the gaze of the entire troupe to focus upon her in the hallway. \"Silvermoon fell to the Lich King, surely it did. That does not mean, however, that we are weak. The blood of family still stains the Dread Scar. So, speaking ill of their sacrifice tends to....bother me a little I suppose.\"\n\nHer voice was chipper, almost too chipper as she was continued to be glared at in an odd mix of confusion and poorly suited anger. Digging her plated toes into the ground as her sword was held at her side, her whimsical expression turned to one that was far more grave than before; as if she carried a burden of her own. This time as she spoke, her voice was deadly quiet, yet her tone carried so well across the distance.\n\n\"I would not ask you for an apology, but I would remind you of something.\"\n\nUpon the final syllable, the Paladin launched herself towards the Troupe, of which naturally reacted with the draw of their own weapons. As she drew closer, light blessed her with speed never seen before as she left a streak of dazzling Holy Magic through the air as she sprinted forward with blinding procession. The majority of the other Night Elves quickly brought their weapons to bear in ill-prepared surprise and the second her heel impacted the ground, a consecration of white holy fire spread across the ground to force their retreat.\n\nBrilliant golden magic then coursed through her shield as she took another step in these split second moments, and she launched the shield forward directly at Sherpia, forcing the remaining Night Elves to duck and move quickly to the side to avoid it as it burned through the air. More importantly, this created a gap for her to punch through directly at the Captain, even as the skilled massive Night Elf deflected the Shield directly back towards her. Guided by the magic she controlled, the Sin'Dorei felt the Shield click into place and in less than a handful of chaotic seconds, she was now just a few feet away from the Captain; now she was in melee range; the place where a dance like hers was at its best.\n\nWith hasty procession, and Sherpia's weapon came screwing for her blood, but this time, when the Blood Elf could see the attack coming, she was ready. Twisting her own sword about, Rae created a transfer motion as she parried the sword from an outside angle. Simultaneously she stepped in perpendicular with the strike, moving swiftly to the Captain's newly formed blind on the outside and to her flank. The initial parry had set new things in motion as the momentum brought about Rae in a pirouette, bringing the wall of her shield to strike with remarkable force that was unbelievable for her size.\n\n*CLANG!!!*\n\nThis time, the Captain was given a flight of her own with a feat of incredible and unexpected strength from the Sin'Dorei. Enough to send her crashing into the wall she was shield slammed towards, if not*through*it entirely. The damage itself would only be minor to her, but more than enough to prove a point as the dust sprung into the air, leaving the newly intimidating figure of glistening plate armor standing with her Shield still facing the direction the Captain had been flung.\n\n\"I would remind you of this, Captain. We Blood Knights function on one key rule.\" She spoke as the main troupe of Night Elves stood in complete shock. \"Eye for an eye. Your dishonored surprise assault for the one that you could clearly see coming. Do not underestimate my people and our strife or our struggle. Ever.

Emerging to move into the room behind the dwarf, she moved first to the fallen White Hand members to check their pulse and heartbeat. Having satisfied herself that they were not dying, just unconscious, she looked up to survey Alfidious' study.*\"That is a lot of books\"*\n\nRagnar was standing in the middle of the office, turning slowly on the spot and muttering to himself as he fruitlessly scanned the shelves. Kathlin wandered aimlessly towards Alfidious' desk as she also took in the vast extents of the room. \"If this book is important, the killer would have taken it last night if they could. Maybe they were incorporeal after all. That would explain the knife being left\"\n\nUpon reaching the mahogany desk, Kathlin pulled out the leather armchair behind it before flopping down with a sigh. \"This probably means that nobody in the house was involved, at least.

Kathlin got up to cross over the floor to the shelf where she had dumped the stack of letters, copies of the Stormwind financial news, pamphlets and assorted paperwork that had graced it that morning, and came back with a small leatherbound book after hunting through the pile. It was noticeably dog-eared, and had a couple of dates etched on the front. \"I think I might have something.

Its date indicated that it was the latest in a series of ledgers, cynically dubbed in an eloquent and high-classed handwriting as 'Daily Headaches of the Royal Advisor', and further down on the cover; 'A compilation of notices, reminders and complaints'.\n\nAll the pages of the diary looking notebook were handwritten by Alfidious' own fine and luxurious handwriting, with elaborate mathematical graphs and calculations littering the pages. On the sides of the pages were little notes written besides the text, such as 'Remember to remind Guardsmaster Hastor, [X]', 'Have last week's taxation of Old District revised... again'.\nUnlike your ordinary diary however, it was mostly concerned isolated incidents within economics, from Alfidious' discoveries of local bars in Stormwind's attempts to cheat the tax system, to even dated series about large, missing sums of money from the Stormwind bank itself years back.\n\nHis three latest entries however detailed three separate cases. The first two were related to taxation and evasion, with his typical, angry notes written besides them 'Notify the fool Hastor', 'Fire District Manager Sebastian!'. The third one, however, was a detailed report on the cooperation between the White Hand and \"The Southsea Metal Import company\".\nThe report detailed Alfidious' interest for the progress of the latter, a chart detailing the two organizations' total purchases and expenditure, as well as earnings and reported treasury, which showed both of the organizations to go in a massive minus.\n\nHowever, a lot of the report also went into discussing the Southsea Company's seemingly abundant supply of metals, despite having hired almost no manpower at all from Stormwind nor Ironforge to explain their high production. The only people they had officially hired was a dwarf named Dagmar Stoneherder, a seasoned miner and certified Engineer and metallurgist, and his brother, Brann Stoneherder, a former mountaineer and geologist. Notes filled the page on either side, going from 'dwarves still missing, two months beyond contract expiration', 'Possible Horde cooperation?', 'Black Labor' and always ending in 'requires formal investigation!'.\n\n\"Found anythin' yet,\" Ragnar called back to Kathlin, while mindlessly looking through the pages of a large tax ledger he had found at the bottom of a chest, which pumped a massive cloud of dust up into the air when he dropped it back into the chest!", "username": "Sinerathin", "char_name": null } ]

Sticking her head around the door cautiously to check the rooms hadn't been taken over by any drunk revellers or tigers, Liaena then slunk inside before locking the door behind her.\n\nThe bath that Frederick had promised was still standing there temptingly, and the girl was decidedly windswept and grimy after her mad run through the city earlier. Liaena merely plunged her hands into the cold water to splash the worst of the grime off her face, before stripping out of the once beautiful, now ruined oversized dress and discarding it on the floor.\n\nShrugging on an undershirt and the protective pads first, the girl carefully pulled the thorium chain shirt over her head before tightening the buckles and straps that held the interlinked rings closer to her body. Padding over to her wardrobe, after a couple of experiments it soon became clear that her robes disguised the fact she was wearing armour the best, and she pulled on a dark blue set with winter shoes. Checking that her dart-gun was in working operation and was loaded, she slipped it into an inside pocket in her robes, patted her satchel and darted out of the door closing it carefully behind her.\n\nPadding back towards the atrium while remaining on high alert for Night Elves, or maybe one Night Elf in particular, it was very tempting to break into a run as she considered all the many ways a Rithrynn could wreak havoc in the house if she was under some sort of dark mysterious power. Liaena resisted the panicky thoughts with some difficulty. Rithrynn had already been in the house longer than she had, the girl reminded herself, had in fact been in close proximity with Sharon and hadn't tried to kill him….which in itself was odd.\n\n*\"What is Sherpa playing at? Isn't he trying to hurt Sharon anymore? Or…maybe there's something he needs her to do first?....\"*\n\nPulling open the door to the living room gingerly, Liaena peered inside. It was very easy to see several very large, obnoxiously loud Night Elves singing some sort of drinking song in darnassian, and Rithrynn lounging lazily on some cushions on the window seat.\n\n*\"…Or not\"*\n\nSlipping into the room, she was universally ignored by the other elves for the moment as she snuck up behind the snoozing Night Elf. Hesitating, she raised a finger before giving Rithrynn a poke in the back of the head.\n\n\"My seat. Go 'way\"\n\n\"….\"\n\n-poke-\n\n\"….I'm Lieutenant!

I'd never have known\"* \"….You were taking up two seats\"\n\nTo illustrate her point, Liaena stepped around the Night Elf to sit down in the other half of the window seat now that Rithrynn was no longer lying fully across it. Looking up, Liaena produced her most cheekily innocent smile that reeked of: \"irritating? not *me*, surely?\" to beam up at the Night Elf - before cocking an eyebrow at her. \"So what were you up to last night?

Keeping a few steps ahead of the uncomfortable Rithrynn at all times, Liaena pulled open the door to allow Rithrynn and Naliyah inside the quarters she shared with Sharon, the latters attention being immediately taken by one specific item of furniture.\n\n\"Ooooh look Rithy – doesn't that bed look comfy!?\"\n\n\"Wut?\"\n\nAnd with that, Naliyah took a flying leap at the bed that had been immaculately made by Fredrick earlier and dragging the unwilling Rithrynn along with her.

Excuse me?\"\n\n\"Don't move! You're under arrest—\"\n\nAs the first mercenary got close enough to reach out and grab her by the shoulder, Kathlin grimaced and mumbled a few words under her breath.

Several White Hand guards had placed themselves between herself and the Lady as she took a step forward, however the lady was holding her ground. Several of the aforementioned guards looked as though they were on the verge of rugby tackling her if only someone would go first. \"L…lady Rosemary.

Scanning the Night Elf up and down, she searched desperately for any sort of clue, maybe a dart stuck in her ass with 'EVIL-INDUCING-TOXIN INSERTED HERE!' written on the tag. Unsuprisingly, the form-fitting silk dress Rithrynn was wearing left very little to the imagination and so that theory had to be escorted out of the door. \"Did he cast a spell on you?\"\n\n\"Well, uh…\"\n\n\"Drug you? ….Threaten you?\"\n\n\"Uhm\"\n\n\"….well there must be SOME **REASON**!!\" Liaena screamed finally, brandishing the gun wildly at Rithrynn as her finger trembled dangerously on the trigger.

Yanking open the door of a room and diving in, Kathlin slammed the door and turned the key just as what felt like a heavy body crashed into it from the other side. Thankfully, the door was made of a sturdy oak like most of the mansions fittings, although hardly on the scale of Alficious' study as far as security was concerned. \"I think the 'zombie' theory is gaining points at this stage. Oh dear\"\n\nThe girl grimaced as she turned around to study her surroundings quickly, the sound of the creature trying to get through the door still entirely audible. She found herself in a living room/study sort of area, featuring easy chairs, more book cases and a writing desk. The curtains were drawn to let in the sun, and the only door in or out of the place was the one that had a chevalier of questionable deadness on the other side of it. As the only alternative available to her, Kathlin headed to the window, Hester landing on her shoulder.\n\nPeering out through the glass, the gardens of Alficious' mansion seemed to stretch for miles before finally meeting the boundary walls and the quiet street beyond. If she looked at the sky in exactly the right way, the girl could make out the thin mesh of spells that warded the house – before looking down to the garden, where she could see the White Guardsmen patrolling.*\"Even if I escaped the guards, the spells wouldn't let me out. I don't know how to break past all those spells….\"*\n\n….\n\nThe girl frowned as something struck her, before giving the bird that was roosting on her shoulder, a very pointed look. Hester opened an eye to stare at her in a way that clearly said: 'what?'\n\n\"You did though\"\n\n**--SMASH—**\n\nA horrible sound of splintering wood sounded behind them as the thing mocked up in armour managed to ram a plated arm through the door and started grabbing for the key. Kathlin snatched a pen off the desk, opening the cover of Alficious' diary to scrawl across the inside cover: 'HELP. HONOUR POINT' before shoving the book at Hester. The owl gave her a dubious look, before clamping it in her talons. \"Take this to Li. If you do, you get so much chocolate…and I get to not die, hopefully\"\n\nThe catch on the window was locked shut, as she soon found out as she fiddled with it. Removing a heavy paperweight off the same desk, Kathlin slammed it into the glass and wooden frame as it shattered everywhere. An alarm started ringing somewhere faintly in the building as a couple of the guards in the garden turned to look up at her. The girl forced the window open to push Hester outside and let her take flight. \"Just make sure she hurries up, okay? I think I need backup here\"\n\n*\"Always assuming I survive the next five minutes\"*\n\nTurning back for a moment, Kathlin took one look at the door that was so much broken sticks at this point before hooking a leg over the sill herself, irrespective of the many cuts that were raked across her skin from the broken glass. Grabbing for a drainpipe to swing herself out of the way as the creature charged into the room, she hung there for a moment before falling into the garden below.\n\n*Thump*\n\nDespite the fact she had been two stories up, Kathlin appeared to have taken no more damage than if she had simply fallen a couple of feet, landing in an awkward heap in a flowerbed of early violets. Dazed for a moment as she started to sit up, the girl simply stared into the blue above her with Hester no longer anywhere to be seen.\n\n*\"Ahh…Current score: Me – 0, Adolph – 0, Floor – 1.
