[pnpgm] Game Update #17

[Rachelle Gauthier]

[ Earlier during bath time ]

Ix didn't have an issue sharing the bath house with the dwarves, bathing with the opposite sex wasn't taboo due to her upbringing, as baths weren't sexualized.  Besides, she couldn't see them naked, and they'd already seen her.  She would have no issue as long as no one got grabby.  She was apprehensive about leaving Zol'zim alone in an unknown city, but she eventually relents and leaves the wolf.  She pays little mind to the dwarves, concentrating on getting herself cleaned up.  It was no natural body of water, but she still treated this time for meditation and cleansing.  Of course, while washing her hair, all present would have seen the pointed tips of her ears.  It wasn't until she was finished washing and had gotten out to let herself dry in the sun that she spoke to Dorhak, apologizing for not answering him earlier ((OOC: I honestly missed it)).  She squeezes some more water from her hair and flips it back over her shoulder, "I don't know if I want to go back to Ba'ru, even though that's where I was taken from.  I'm not even from there... but I do want to contact someone from Ba'ru.  He was very kind to me and took me in, I want to let him know I'm ok."

[ In response to being questioned by Arawn again ]

"Home?  It's... It was Kll'maun.  There's nothing there for me now.  If anything, I want to let the man who took me in outside of Ba'ru to know I'm ok.  His place is what I meant by home, even if it was only temporary," she frowned when questioned about her eyes and stared straight at Arawn.  "I don't want to sound disrespectful, but what is it you can do any different?  I'm just thankful I still have eyes there and not just hollow sockets..."  She sighed now.  These people did save her, so they deserved some kind of explanation, "This was done to me by another shaman when I was only a child, an older man.  He tried to take my eyes.  I'll spare you the details."

 OOC: I don't know how but I missed your reply to
 Arawn's question.
 
 
 
 [When questioned by Arawn again, she bites her lip
 somewhat, “My name is Ixkin.  I was on my way
 back…”  Should she call it home?  It felt like
 it, sort of, she was welcome there, even though she felt she
 might have overstayed her welcome with Kaz. 
 “H-home. 
  I’m not from Ba’ru, but I was staying outside of the
 city.  I tried to take a shortcut and was captured with
 one of the dwarves.  The captain kept asking me
 questions, but I didn’t answer them… I couldn’t answer
 them.]
 
 
 
    "Home? Where is that? Perhaps we can
 help the two of you reach there safely," he offered
 with compassionate sincerity. "And, if it's not a
 sore subject, your eyes... your vision, how did it happen? I
 only ask in case it's something we can
 treat."
 
 
 
 
 
 ----------------------
 
 
 [After everyone has regathered to discuss the information
 they've discovered...]
 
 
 
    As information was shared amongst the
 gathered Arawn did his best to assist with translations as
 needed, revealing his discovery of the cache of coins and
 jewelry that seemed to belong to the sailors in the
 process.
 
 
 
 
 
    "The sailors who yet live will likely wish
 their belongings returned. But for those that were
 killed," he said, his lips pursing with displeasure or
 disappointment as he mentioned the dead, "I think we
 should sell what can't be identified as a memento or
  item of significance and send the coin to any remaining
 family that can be found.
 
    I'll take it upon myself to question the
 sailors when the authorities allow for it."
 
 
 
 
 
 
    News of the metalsmith working on
 something in the hold intrigued Arawn, the alfar wondering
 if it might be a weapon or something linked to the mystery
 set in front of the party.
 
 
 
 
 
 
    "When you're ready it might prove
 interesting to use Akasha in the hold as well. Whatever was
 being crafted by the metalsmith seemed important enough to
 be done aboard a rocking vessel, a weapon or an item linked
 to their mission I'd guess," he said,
  addressing the party but referring to Z'leyra in
 regards to the spell.
 
 
 
 ----------------------
 
 
 
 
    At some point Arawn would wander over to
 Fremea, his demeanor placid and features pensive.
 
 
 
    "How are you doing?," he asked
 the fairy. Impulse had driven her into action, impulse that
 he had hoped she had conquered for her sake and for the sake
 of others. She had been quiet since the massacre ended and
 he wasn't sure if she felt satisfaction
  or regret, or both.

    OOC: What are the names of the Expert and the
 contact in Vahear?
