<font face="Arial"> Raban sighs, "If I had not gotten so tall I
would have been the finest dancer the troupe had ever seen. It
would take me 2 or more years of daily practice to refine my
skills to that level now. But as I discovered then, most see a
Freak and do not bother to see if he can dance! I have surprised
many professional entertainers that way. I am good but I can be
far better than that. practice is needed which requires a lot of
room for me, too much most the time. So I play my Instruments, Act
or Sing, whatever is needed to raise money for others. That is one
of the ways I help those in need. I teach, heal and provide aid in
materials or whatever is needed. My performances fulfill a
majority of my duty to my Goddess, the private ones even more so.
As such I have always traveled where my heart said I should and
helped all I could. Occasionally there are troubles, my work tends
to cause jealousy quite often. That too is part of my work as it
leads to teaching quite often, though sometimes it teaches others
pain I did not intend. I was raised knowing how to handle most of
such problems and how to survive the ones you cannot handle.
Overall it is a wonderful life, but sometimes it gets much more
serious. My Goddess would not have sent me here if there was not a
serious need for my help and something she thought I needed to
learn. Perhaps I was too complacent in my easy work traveling to
towns, earning a few Gold and spending it to help others and as
gifts for the wonderful ladies. So she set me a task dealing with
incredibly complicated women, who do not think they need help when
they do. Saving so many from the Vong is of course a worthy
endeavor, but it is too impersonal for me."<br>
"I never thought I would ride a horse, so I had a lot to
learn. As massive as this one is, he is still too small for me. If
we were back home and I still needed to ride I would have arranged
some magic to help him. A Bless is possible if it becomes
important enough. It would have been allowed so the young lady
could sit in front of me, but I did not think of that, and it
raises risks for detections... It would have been worth it..."<br>

"I think the gods have blessed you in many, many ways,
likely more than you realize and are far more talented than
your modesty would imply," Arawn said with a smile.<br>
"As you seem fine with it I will try to read you now,
though if it fails I will have to try other, deeper magics, or
else read your aura when you are engaged in sexual magick.
Though I think the fertility priests and priestesses may have
both greater insight into both this unusual gift as well as
techniques to both enhance and focus it. If you are ever
interested I would be happy to give my support if and when you
wish to learn from them."<br>
<br>
Arawn looked towards Raban's steed.<br>
<br>
"As for you're poor horse, perhaps a blessing for strength
or an enchanted saddle might help things in the future. I'm
sure both the horse and any future companions would appreciate
that greatly."<br>
<br>
Scott, Arawn will use Mana Sensing followed by Mana Reading
to get a better idea as to the nature of Raban's power. If
that isn't enough let me know and I'll see about casting other
spells for further insight.<br>

<font face="Arial">Raban smiles, "My apologies then, I must
have misunderstood you. I have no performance anxieties, it
need not be a private performance though generally such
things are only done for smaller audiences. In fact my
Goddess would prefer it that way, though I have found many
cultures tend to consider it as a criminal act or at least a
questionable one. As I said, my only difficulty with this is
that I cannot control it and the way some would interpret
it. So others have had such things occur? That makes me
wonder more about it as many magical mishaps I have had
resulted in a joining of souls or minds briefly. Maybe that
is what this is, a joining of souls to do the healing and it
only works as it does because that is when our souls become
close enough to join naturally. If that is so then it may be
something I can learn to control better with more practice.
Someday I could be able to use it during massage, though my
Goddess would prefer the original methods there are times
they are not practical. As to be expected from a Druid, you
have shown yourself to be very wise and knowledgeable, I
should have thought to ask about this before. My Goddess
rarely speaks to me with more than feelings to tell me right
from wrong. She does think I am neglecting my duties a bit
much even under these conditions. Sadly my horse is too
overburdened or at least one Lady would have helped more
with my duties. I may need to use another bath house when we
have a chance as it is a harmless way that does not draw too
much of the wrong attention. Unfortunately such a brief
visit was unfair to the ladies last time, but that too is
part of my duties, some other lucky man will gain the
benefits unknowing..."<br>
<br>
"Feel free to examine me however you need too, I doubt
I have many secrets yet to uncover, though I do have a
number of small gifts. I once thought they were some offset
for my size, but such thoughts would mean I see my size as a
bad thing. I understand the Gods work in mysterious ways and
do not bestow such gifts without reason. Just because such
reasons are not obvious to me does not mean they are not
there. I tend to not use my other gifts unless they are
greatly needed as too many already see me as a monster. My
goal in life is simply not to prove them right by becoming
one when it if far too easy to do so. Fortunately my good
looks, personality and skills quickly overcomes first
impressions based on my height. Then they find more
appreciation for the benefits of my size, of which there are
many. Often my worst problems are buildings, it pays to wear
a good tough cap! Actually the worst is Dancing, so few
places have enough room for me to really dance. Because of
that, my performance is so far below what it should be. It
will take me a long time to surpass my Mother's skill like
she desired, but someday..." <To the curious, he already
dances well enough for a royal stage ;) ><br>

"No, I figured that was what you were talking about.
The mystery I referred to was the mystical state and
effects achieved by your copulation. That such a thing
occurs is far from unknown for among the Sidh and among
humans, druids included, there are those that achieve a
higher state of being during such acts, the spirits
reaching through various levels of reality. The difference
between you and them, it would seem, is that your's occurs
purely by chance, or at least unconsciously. I find that
intriguing, though I would assume that since it is not
ritually done by you, a bard instead of fertility
priest, that you prefer performing such acts in private,
though I say it would be a fascinating study. It seems you
have been blessed by your mistress. When I return home I
would love to hear what she has to say on this topic," the
alfar mused.<br>

<font face="Arial"> Raban sighs then looks about to
see if anyone else can over hear him. "You know
how certain massage techniques can improve
healing? There are other things that can have this
effect and more. Any properly skilled man can make
a women feel good, some more so than others. I
seem to have been given a gift in that regards
that goes beyond just feeling good. After I was
trained in Bardic Magic it was obvious to me that
this Gift drew upon my soul to help the women,
before that I only saw the results and felt a
little tired. Physical maladies and diseases have
been cured this way at times, but it does not
always occur and I may not have any control over
it. So you see I would need her consent to try
this and if it fails to work she could be
justifiably upset with me, though she may not. It
would be best I pray for my Goddess's help as well
if this needs to be tried... I would think you
could see this Gift, though since it does not
duplicate the usual spells maybe all you see is
that it is there? It is not something I speak
about, it makes me seem desperate and trying to
trick a women into bed and that is something I
never need to do. But I do not know even if it
works that it can remove the Coral, I do not know
what it can do beyond what I have seen."<br>

Raban smiles, "I would be glad to help the

see changes quickly enough to judge if the
music was wrong or right, so someone would
need to help in that. Worse it could be the

the Coral and what feels good is aiding the
Coral if she is reacting to what the Coral

hurt so that would appear unlikely. Too much
guesswork is involved, I do not think we will
