When the Ice Queen Asks if She Can Have Your Warmth, Say No

[Dracos]

OOC: Outside the ice villa

Jul 13 19:29:41 <Kotono>   Kamvakua, Adail and Yulia come out to Tusky. He still has his injuries, the cruel wind of Cold blowing harshly around you. Snow falls, endless snow.
Jul 13 19:30:55 <Kotono>   Yulia flutters over to the mammoth, "So who wants to heal him?"
Jul 13 19:31:44 *   Adail nods to Yulia, "Save a bit of yours, but if you still have some left, you should get the practice."
Jul 13 19:32:12 <Kamvakua>   "He did well...though I wish we'd scared them off before they got their fangs in him."  Kamvakua commented.  "I don't have any other healing spells prepared today."
Jul 13 19:34:22 <Kotono>   "I can manage one more!" Yulia says with a chirp in her voice, "Lesser Vigor! This one's better than a simple cure, but it takes a little time to heal all the way."
Jul 13 19:34:57 *   Adail nods, "Good idea, since we have the time. I may wish to invest in a couple of those myself come morning, actually."
Jul 13 19:35:55 <Adail>   "I can still provide a healing spell or two of my own if that doesn't do the trick, of course." He adds.
Jul 13 19:37:02 <Kamvakua>   "What does it do?" Kamvakua wondered, not familiar with it.  "Well, he's earned a good rest anyway.  We shouldn't be too aggressive here or we might find ourselves exhausted in the snow."
Jul 13 19:37:30 <Kotono>   Yulia casts Lesser Vigor! Immediately Tusky's wounds begin to heal! OOC: 16 HP total from the Lesser vigor when it's all said and done.
Jul 13 19:37:58 <Adail>   "Lesser Vigor," Adail explains, "Or any of the Vigor line for that matter, bestow a small amount of regenerative ability on a creature, for a short period of time. More effective then an equivalent Cure spell usually, but less immediate."
Jul 13 19:39:32 <Kotono>   "Right!" Yulia bobs her head up and down, "Cure's faster and speed is important, but sometimes you need it right here and now!"
Jul 13 19:39:44 *   Adail twitches his whiskers, "If I recall correctly there are Mass versions of these spells as well. They may be helpful to try and learn later, for the both of us."
Jul 13 19:40:45 <Kotono>   "They're so advanced, but one day!" Yulia says, "I'm going to become the best healer ever."
Jul 13 19:41:53 <Adail>   "A noble goal. Especially as my own clerical talents are less..." Adail cracks his knuckles with a smile, "ah, restoratively inclined."
Jul 13 19:42:36 <Kotono>   "You all need it, too!" With a joyful little wink as she alights to Kam's shoulder and sits, "Think he needs a little more."
Jul 13 19:43:23 *   Kamvakua laughs.  "A good goal.  If your vision is low to the ground, you'll miss out on all the beauty life has to offer.  To chase after goals as high as the sky, to climb mountains that tear high from the earth, this is simply a better way to live."
Jul 13 19:44:07 *   Adail looks him over, "He should be able to sleep the rest off actually, I think. I'd like to save what I have for an emergency. No way of knowing when or where trouble's going to come from around here."
Jul 13 19:44:59 <Kotono>   "Let's go back in then?" Yulia shivers, "It's so unrelentingly cold here! Even with magic I feel numb!"
Jul 13 19:45:27 *   Adail switches to his animal speech and addresses the mammoth, "Feeling better then, friend?"
Jul 13 19:46:10 <Kotono>   Tusky's voice is a slow one, "It doesn't hurt. Hurt is bad. No hurt is good."
Jul 13 19:47:10 *   Adail nods and pats him on the leg, "We're heading inside then. Trumpet if you see anything alarming."
Jul 13 19:48:25 *   Kamvakua heads back with Adail and Yulia.
Jul 13 19:48:27 <Kotono>   "I love to trumpet!" Tusky says quickly.

Jul 13 19:30:15 <Kotono>   "It's for visitors who need the help." The Fey Queen leads Mari to one of the four pillars, "You may want to close you're yes a moment."
Jul 13 19:31:50 <Knight>   "Visitors? Here?" asks Knight, sounding rather bemused. "That is frequent enough to warrant amenities?..."
Jul 13 19:32:36 <Kotono>   "Winter is not without mercy," Cybelea smiles momentarily to Knight, the winter winds howling outside the shelter of sorts.
Jul 13 19:33:00 <Mari>   "I...guess." Mari turns and gives Knight a skeptical look. Obviously she wants help pronto if it even looks like the woman's doing anything untoward! She does close her eyes, at least, not real sure where to draw the like between paranoia and really, really wanting to be next to a fire.
Jul 13 19:33:36 <Knight>   "I am uneasy, and it's better to stay together in this world," mutters Knight, shaking her head.
Jul 13 19:35:07 <Kotono>   The Snow Queen touches the pillar! In the barest moment, the two are gone!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<Kotono> You appear in a cozy, crystalline room. Ahead of you is a small table with fur blankets draped over them. Just past them is a roaring fire, a black pot hanging over it! You can feel the warmth from here!
<Mari> Well, it looks straight-up so far. "You aren't going to melt or something if we go near that, are you?"
<Kotono> "I am not that fragile," The Snow Queen approaches the fire, taking out a few bowls near the pot. She sits and pats the ground right next to her. "Sit and eat."
* Mari follows and takes the suggested seat. Not *too* close to the woman, but close enough to not appear rude. "What are we eating? I just have to ask because, well, we've had people offer us some really strange things without telling us. Even people who seemed nice."
Jul 14 20:44:48 <Kotono>"Roast smilodon stew." Making a bowl she comes close. She hands it to Mari, an arm going around her shoulders. She's numbinglyu cold, yet the nearby fire more than makes up for it. Warmth comes, glorious warmth that chases away miserable numbness and chill.
<Mari> "That's it, huh? I guess that's okay if that's all it is. Gotta be better than it was raw..." OOC: you realize, of course, I have sense motive on that claim. >.>
<Mari> roll 1d20+12 I wish I had action points!
<Kobot> Mari rolled 1d20+12 I wish I had action points! --> [ 1d20=16 ]{28}
Jul 14 20:45:02 <Kotono>OOC: You're pretty sure she's not bullshitting here. It is roast smilodon.
* Mari really isn't sure what to make of Cybelia's closeness here, but...that stew does smell good. And, above all, it's WARM. Okay, let's give it a shot!
Jul 14 20:45:07 <Kotono> It tastes good! It's spicy?! It's well flavored and the meat is so tender it falls apart in her mouth. It's so WARM! It's like her entire body is waking up!
* Mari blinks, swallows. "Wow. This is really good. Compliments to the chef."
Jul 14 20:45:10 <Kotono> "Accepted. Isn't it good?" She smiles, "I make it myself every night. A long time ago..." She sighs long, "My passed husband loved it after a bitter day in Cold. He was a human/elf halfblood."
<Mari> "Oh. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Losing people is always hard."
Jul 14 20:45:15 <Kotono> "It is." The Snow woman smiles as Mari eats, "Mari...Can I ask you a favor?"
<Mari> "Well...I can't really say no after you've been nice an all, can I?"
Jul 14 20:45:18 <Kotono> "I miss the feeling of warmth." With a look to Mari, "Allow me to syphon off a little of your body warmth. The fire will soon replenish it, but I cannot produce heat on my own, even exposed to fire."
* Mari can't help but draw away a little, reflexively. "Just...a little? How much is a little? I'm sorry, it's just a strange request...I mean, for me. I don't meet many ice people."
Jul 14 20:45:25 <Kotono>   "It won't hurt you," With a sweet smile, holding Mari close as she reasonably can, "You'll warm back up in a minute in front of the fire."
* Mari relaxes, at least as much as she can bring herself to. So many bad experiences with "friendly" strangers in her travels! Anyway, if she really did try anything terrible, all Mari's friends are outside, right? "Well...okay. It won't hurt, will it?"
Jul 14 20:45:30 <Kotono> "It won't. You may feel a little sleepy, but nothing more." Cybelea murmurs.
* Mari nods, ready as she's able to be for...whatever is about to happen!
Jul 14 20:45:34 <Kotono>roll 1d4
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d4 --> [ 1d4=1 ]{1}
Jul 14 20:45:35 <Kotono> Cybelea holds Mari tight. In a moment she feels cold, so cold! Cold all over! A bitter cold envelopes her, a numbness and a sleepiness! It's as if some of her blood just froze solid! "Shhhh," Cybelea holds her, "Don't worry, it won't bother you long then you'll feel better!" OOC: 1 con damage. If that's enough to reduce your con mod say so and adjust in #elysium's topic. React.
<Mari> OOC: it is, from +3 to +2. Sec.
* Mari shivers all over! "Oh g-g-gods--that's all, right?" She wants to pull away but, well, Cybelea sounds sincere enough.
Jul 14 20:45:45 <Kotono> "Shhh, just a little more," Cybelea says, "Be at peace, it won't last much longer."
<Mari> "No more, please! At least let me warm up again first. I'm not used to the cold! Just give me a minute by the fire..."
Jul 14 20:45:49 <Kotono> No luck. In fact, Cybelea holds Mari tighter! "Shhh...soon you'll never be cold again," her voice is a soft lullaby, heartbreakingly cold. "I'll stop the pain, the misery, the agony of Cold for you. Forever you'll be preserved as part of this world. You've come home, Mari Farrunner. It's time to accept that!" OOC: She's not letting go. Roll init? You're considered grappled since she holds you. Remember Escape Artist can be used in place of grapple checks since I think you have ranks.
<Mari> roll 1d20+9 yes will be escape artisting it up when possible
<Kobot> Mari rolled 1d20+9 yes will be escape artisting it up when possible --> [ 1d20=19 ]{28}
Jul 14 20:46:00 <Kotono> roll 1d20+6
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{7}
Jul 14 20:46:04 <Kotono>   * Kotono changes topic to 'Mari>Cybelea'
<Mari> roll 1d20+10 don't make me delete you, Kobot
<Kobot> Mari rolled 1d20+10 don't make me delete you, Kobot --> [ 1d20=2 ]{12}
Jul 14 20:46:09 <Kotono>roll 1d20+13 bad luck
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+13 bad luck --> [ 1d20=3 ]{16}
Jul 14 20:46:11 <Kotono> Mari struggles in Cybelea's grasp but she can't get out! So held she feels her warmth slip away!
Jul 14 20:46:12 <Kotono> roll 1d4 con damage and your'e up again after.
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d4 con damage and your'e up again after. --> [ 1d4=1 ]{1}
Jul 14 20:46:15 <Kotono> "Shh," Cybelea has a tight grip on Mari, "Shh now."
<Mari> "NO. I don't want to stay here forever. I can't die until my sister's free, and you're not going to stop me! LET GO!"
<Mari> roll 1d20+10 come ooooon
<Kobot> Mari rolled 1d20+10 come ooooon --> [ 1d20=5 ]{15}
Jul 14 20:46:21 <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 bad luck again likely
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+13 bad luck again likely --> [ 1d20=1 ]{14}
Jul 14 20:46:23 <Kotono> OOC: Or not!
Jul 14 20:46:23 <Kotono> Staggering back, Mari is able to curl away from the Snow Queen! The grasp is broken! OOC: That was your attack action. You still have a move action if you care to make it, Mari.
<Mari> OOC: do I see the place I came in? The column or whatnot? If so, cna I make it there?"
Jul 14 20:46:30 <Kotono> The room is about 30 foot wide total and 20 deep. There's crystalline walls, but no obvious door or way out.
Jul 14 20:46:31 <Kotono> There's the fire, a table with blankets and walls. Oh, and the stew and bowls.
* Mari quickly draws her swords and summons the winds around her. "I gave you what you wanted, but no, you had to be ungrateful and try for more. I don't want this to be a fight, but it's going to be if you don't send me back NOW." OOC: AD is up. And I guess I'll move as far away as I can and hope she doesn't have brutal ranged offense.
Jul 14 20:46:38 <Kotono> That gets Cybelea to sniffle, wiping away a frozen tear. "I offer you everything...solace, warmth, a home...and you turn it down! The manners my husband taught me all wasted on you! He is rolling in his grave!" With an imperious gesture, a flying lance of ice forms, hurtling right at Mari! OOC: AD applies something to ranged projectiles, doesn't it ?
<Mari> OOC: 50% miss chance.
Jul 14 20:46:44 <Kotono> roll 1d100 51 and up for a chance to make the attack roll
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 51 and up for a chance to make the attack roll --> [ 1d100=13 ]{13}
Jul 14 20:46:48 <Kotono> But the winds blow too strong, knocking the lance off course and into the wall! There it shatters! OOC: Mari.
<Mari_RAGE> "I've got plenty of warmth of my own! You want it, you're going to get it the hard way!" Mari closes again and stabs at the fey queen! OOC: feh, guess I've got no choice but to melee it up. Also, amulet charge go.
<Mari_RAGE> roll 1d20+12 normal attack
<Kobot> Mari_RAGE rolled 1d20+12 normal attack --> [ 1d20=10 ]{22}
Jul 14 20:47:04 <Kotono>   > OOC: Hit.7
Jul 14 20:47:05 <Kotono>   <Mari_RAGE> roll 1d6+2+1 fire god this is sad without SA
Jul 14 20:47:05 <Kotono>   <Kobot> Mari_RAGE rolled 1d6+2+1 fire god this is sad without SA --> [ 1d6=3 ]{6}
Jul 14 20:47:08 <Kotono>   * Mari (~Melanchth@pool-71-191-31-86.washdc.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
Jul 14 20:47:09 <Kotono>   > A grazing blow is struck ty Cybelea! She hisses in discomfort, "Then I have no choice but to be a cruel woman of the winds!" With that, she tries to tackle Mari! OOC: She has improved grapple so no AoO. Grapple check time.
Jul 14 20:47:12 <Kotono>   > roll 1d20+13
Jul 14 20:47:13 <Kotono>   <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{19}

Jul 14 20:47:16 <Kotono>   <Kobot> Mari_RAGE rolled 1d20+8 fudge --> [ 1d20=15 ]{23}
Jul 14 20:47:17 <Kotono>   * Mari_RAGE is now known as Mari
Jul 14 20:47:18 <Kotono>   > But Mari is too fast, too much! She is able to stumble back and out of the Snow Queen's numbing grasp!
Jul 14 20:47:20 <Kotono>   > roll 1d20+10
Jul 14 20:47:21 <Kotono>   <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{25}
Jul 14 20:47:21 <Kotono>   > Thereafter she tumbles back, flipping over the table and landing 20 feet away from Mari! OOC: Go.
Jul 14 20:47:24 <Kotono>   * Mari pursues. "'Oh Mari, please let to kill you and turn you into an icicle. What, you said no? HOW DARE YOU.' If only you could hear yourself, woman!"
Jul 14 20:47:26 <Kotono>   <Mari> roll 1d20+12
Jul 14 20:47:27 <Kotono>   <Kobot> Mari rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{28}

Jul 14 20:47:29 <Kotono>   <Kobot> Mari rolled 1d6+2+1 fire --> [ 1d6=3 ]{6}
Jul 14 20:47:30 <Kotono>   > Mari charges in, another sizzling, grazing wound! To this the Snow Queen snarls and dives back towards the fire!
Jul 14 20:47:32 <Kotono>   > roll 1d20+10
Jul 14 20:47:32 <Kotono>   <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{11}
Jul 14 20:47:33 <Kotono>   > But she's not nimble neough! OOC: You get an AoO.
Jul 14 20:47:35 <Kotono>   <Mari> roll 1d20+12
Jul 14 20:47:35 <Kotono>   <Kobot> Mari rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{25}

Jul 14 20:47:38 <Kotono>   <Kobot> Mari rolled 1d6+2+1 --> [ 1d6=4 ]{7}
Jul 14 20:47:39 <Kotono>   > As she tumbles back Mari lashes out, landing another sizzling blow! This one draws blood, a snarl as she raises her hand! Another lance of ice flies!
Jul 14 20:47:40 <Kotono>   > roll 1d100
Jul 14 20:47:42 <Kotono>   <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=65 ]{65}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jul 13 19:36:00 <Knight>   "Why have I allowed this to happen?" murmurs Knight, shaking her head. "There's a limit to acting incautiously..."
Jul 13 19:36:34 <Kotono>   Nikkolai watches and merely shrugs.
Jul 13 19:39:01 <Kotono>   As you watch a moment, she appears. A woman in blue robes, loose enough to swirl in the wind. She walks out from another of the pillars, bowing before Knight. "Ma'am, I am a handmaiden of the Fey Queen Cybelea. While she is busy, I am at your service."
Jul 13 19:39:52 <Knight>   "I don't need any services. But tell me where these pillars go," replies Knight, utterly devoid of decorum.
Jul 13 19:41:08 <Kotono>   Coming closer, as Nikkolai's eye momentarily wanders, "They lead to the Fey Queen's private rooms."
Jul 13 19:42:12 <Knight>   "Do you receive guests often?"
Jul 13 19:44:22 <Kotono>   "On occasion." She answers with another graceful bow, starting to pace around all of you. "She is always welcoming of guests."
Jul 13 19:46:08 <Knight>   "Is there a price for such hospitality?"
Jul 13 19:47:10 <Kotono>   "Oh no." With a slight smile, "She once had a mortal lover, and learned all too well how the realm of Cold can wear at a mortal without respite."
Jul 13 19:48:38 <Kotono>   As you talk, the three return back inside and out of the bitter Cold wind.
Jul 13 19:48:41 <Knight>   "Always these things are learned too late, aren't they?" wonders Knight, shaking her head.
Jul 13 19:49:07 <Kamvakua>   "Where's Mari?" Kamvakua wondered.
Jul 13 19:50:02 <Knight>   "She went to speak with the Faerie in private."
Jul 13 19:51:16 *   Adail frowns, "Right. Well, it looks like there isn't much we can do but wait then?"
Jul 13 19:51:28 <Kamvakua>   "So long?" Kamvakua wondered and sat down near the edge of the protective zone.  "Well, I guess she don't seem to mean any harm.  We should get some rest actually."
Jul 13 19:51:42 <Kotono>   "Should you require anything," The ice servant smiles, "Ask me and I will serve."
Jul 13 19:54:22 <Kotono>   Yulia settles down, "At least we're out of the wind here."
Jul 13 19:54:54 *   Adail nods, "Indeed."
Jul 13 19:56:00 <Kotono>   As quiet settles in, Yulia looks over to Knight. "Hey Knight. You really know how to use a mount, don't you? You massacred those big cats."
Jul 13 19:57:52 <Knight>   "Well... the mammoth has several natural advantages," replies Knight, collapsing into a sitting position. "It's just a matter of coaxing out the beast's own potential. To tell the truth, I'm envious of Adail."
Jul 13 19:58:38 <Kamvakua>   "You can always try and learn.  Though the language of animals is harder than most," Kamvakua casually remarked.
Jul 13 19:59:09 *   Adail ponders, "Perhaps one of your siblings will grant a similar ability one day?"
Jul 13 20:00:18 <Kotono>   "It mostly takes magic, doesn't it? There's no animal language, right?" Yulia says, "Tongues!"
Jul 13 20:00:36 <Knight>   "There are more pertinent things to be studied," replies Knight, rubbing her head. "I would say so. Mystical expertise is a bit..."
Jul 13 20:00:53 *   Adail shakes his head, "Speak With Animals, actually. They do not have language as the spell Tongues reckons it, from what I understand."
Jul 13 20:01:10 <Kotono>   "Oh." Bowing her head, "Hehehee. I've never really tried. I just thought!"
Jul 13 20:01:44 <Adail>   "You may simply have confused them as both abilities are inherent to all Guardinals."
Jul 13 20:02:50 <Kotono>   "Hehehehe." Yulia giggles and turns a bright shade of red, "One day! Say, could I learn that spell?"
Jul 13 20:03:23 <Kamvakua>   "Probably," Kamvakua smiled.
Jul 13 20:03:58 *   Adail thinks, "Well...that depends on what kind of divine magic you use. Speak With Animals is largely Druidic, if I remember correctly. Though Clerics who worship gods of nature and revere animals can sometimes as well."
Jul 13 20:04:58 <Kotono>   "Well, I sort of worship Arborea as a whole!" Chirping that, "Maybe I can work it out!"
Jul 13 20:06:30 *   Adail nods, "It is a land of powerful nature and home to many fey who are often allies of the Druids, so perhaps at that."
Jul 13 20:06:41 <Knight>   "Your powers are granted to you by your, er, powers, are they not?"
Jul 13 20:07:20 <Kotono>   "Yeah." Nodding along, "We courre work like that! We have a little bit of Arborea inside of us!" Tapping her tiny chest, "It's like being a natural!"
Jul 13 20:07:44 <Knight>   "There's no way to simply request what you need?"
Jul 13 20:07:56 *   Adail cocks his head to the side, "To an extent, yes. I do not pray directly to Talisid for my magic, nor do I worship him, but without him or the other Companions I might not be able to do what I do regardless. It's more tapping into the inherent divine power of the plane itself, I think."
Jul 13 20:09:10 <Kotono>   "Right! ...I think." Yulia then laughs a little, "Um, I had a Ghaele explain this once but I wasn't paying all that much attention."
Jul 13 20:09:38 <Adail>   "You courre often work like that as well," Adail quips with a small smile.
Jul 13 20:10:15 <Kamvakua>   "If you paid attention too much, you might decide you couldn't do what you do all the time.  And that would be boring."
Jul 13 20:10:16 <Kotono>   "Well, it's working out! I'm learning healing magic and that's what you guys need!" Waggling a finger, "If this keeps up, I'm gonna have to outdo a god of healing to keep you guys going!"
Jul 13 20:10:33 <Kamvakua>   "I hope not," Kamvakua said simply.
Jul 13 20:11:49 <Kotono>   OOC: Make listen checks, all.
Jul 13 20:11:51 <Adail>   "Comes with the territory of being adventurers, really. The sad fact is, the majority of those in this proffession do not survive." Then his half smile grows into a full grin, "I, for one, take that as a personal challenge."
Jul 13 20:11:54 <Knight>   roll 1d20+1

Jul 13 20:12:52 <Knight>   "I don't know if I like being defined as an 'adventurer'," remarks Knight. "The term connotates a kind of laxness, as though one has nothing better to do than wander around and disrupt the plans of others. There's a purpose to our travels, isn't there?"
Jul 13 20:13:18 <Kotono>   "Hey!" Yulia pipes up, "There's nothing wrong at all with just going with the flow and making it up as you go along!"
Jul 13 20:14:32 *   Adail stands and eyes one pillar, "I hear...something. Sounds like crashing...almost like a fight going on." The pillar he starts moving towards if of course the one Mari walked into with the Fey Queen.

Jul 13 20:15:35 <Knight>   "...oh, it's always something..." mutters Knight, arising and marching towards the stony protrusion. "How do these things work? If I just touch it..." She reaches out and lays a hand upon the edifice.
Jul 13 20:15:56 *   Adail follows suit, poking at the pillar.
Jul 13 20:16:24 <Kotono>   You touch it! Nothing happens! The snow woman nearby frowns, coming closer, "Surely you misheard, or perhaps she dropped a bowl?"
Jul 13 20:16:46 *   Adail places one ear to the pillar to try and better hear whatever noise is coming from it.
Jul 13 20:17:06 <Kamvakua>   "Bring us to Mari...or Mari to us," Kamvakua glared a bit at the woman, worried now for the missing girl.
Jul 13 20:17:09 <Kotono>   Adail does so and a split second later he hears an echoing shatter!

Jul 13 20:18:35 <Kamvakua>   "Now," Kamvakua wasn't on his best intimidation apparently, but he was a scary fellow without really trying, moreso when rushing.
Jul 13 20:18:45 <Kotono>   The snow woman takes a few hasty steps back! "I-it's too late to interfere!" She says, "Ms. Farrunner has taken the full hospitality of Cybelea into her!"
Jul 13 20:19:23 <Kamvakua>   "It is not though too late for you to take us to her in one piece," Kamvakua wasn't really going to tear her apart...but she didn't need to know that.
Jul 13 20:19:29 <Knight>   Knight marches forward a few steps and seizes the woman by the collar. "Mari already has enough things in her! Take us to her immediately!"
Jul 13 20:22:10 <Kotono>   Gulping, "I c-can't! If I do, she'll punish me! Don't be afraid...she'll be happy! The Ice Queen is giving her the best gift Ms. Farrunner could ever imagine!"

Jul 13 20:24:10 <Nikkolai>   "You say that like it's a good thing." Nikkolai replies in a flat tone.
Jul 13 20:24:12 <Kamvakua>   "Not today," Kamvakua growled.  "Let us through NOW." He grabbed the young woman hauling her out of knight's hands.
Jul 13 20:24:16 <Knight>   "Ah, the gift of enslavement, is it?" retorts Knight, tightening her claw. "Mari has things to do. And I have need of Mari. Therefore, I can't let this happen."
Jul 13 20:24:30 <Kotono>   "AAAAAAAAAH!" With a scream she starts to nod very quickly! "J-just let me touch the pillar!"
Jul 13 20:25:05 <Kamvakua>   Kamvakua let her go to do that.

Jul 13 20:53:14 <Kotono>   As Mari stands the ice-lance crumbles away into useless water.
Jul 13 20:53:25 <Kamvakua>   "Let's get out of here.  Nikkolai, can you see a way out?"
Jul 13 20:53:25 *   Adail looks around the room for any other exits, "Nik, can you figure out how to work the magic they used to get us in to get us back out?"
Jul 13 20:53:27 <Knight>   "I am more concerned about getting out than dealing with whatever trivial reinforcements they bring to bear. Besides, it is too late for her, anyway," notes Knight, walking towards the wall and tapping on it.
Jul 13 20:54:00 <Kotono>   As the party talks, a rippling section of the wall can be noted. It's almost like water, shimmering and pulsing.
Jul 13 20:54:54 <Mari>   "Don't be too hard on her servants," Mari says, watching this. "I don't think they have much choice in anything..."
Jul 13 20:55:25 *   Adail nods, "So long as they dont' attack us, I'm content to leave them be, yes."
Jul 13 20:55:36 <Knight>   "If they stay out of our way then we will have no quarrel," notes Knight, mraching towards the rippling wall and putting a hand through it.
Jul 13 20:55:41 <Kamvakua>   "Probably not...but we need to get out of here."
Jul 13 20:56:40 <Kotono>   Knight's hand goes through it, and in a moment, she vanishes!

Jul 13 20:59:25 <Kotono>   In an instant the party vanishes. You appear besides the pillar you went into. The snow has completely stopped, the winds of Cold silent. Ahead the opposite pillar...it is now calm. You can see it is about 50 feet tall. Atop it Yuki stands...no. Not quite. Yuki is shifting, like slushy snow falling apart! Her body smoothly blends together! In a few moments Cybelea stands in Yuki's stead! With a cold smile of utter damnation, "My hospitality was not enough, you tried to steal my life? Think you can end the cycle of winter here, you cursed fools? You have rejected my hospitality, I shall now treat you to my endless fury! Know well that your grave will be the endless snow that will bury your bodies!"
Jul 13 21:00:47 <Mari_Farrunner>   "Slavery's a new word for hospitality these days, then? If you hadn't tried to keep me here, there wouldn't have been any problems! If anyone's at fault, it's you!"
Jul 13 21:01:23 <Kamvakua>   "Winter Queen, you tried to steal one of our friends away.  Know that in doing so, you brought your own fate.  Let us go freely, or we shall cut you down as many times as it takes," Kamvakua lifted his spear, glaring.
Jul 13 21:01:27 <Knight>   "I don't think there's any point in arguing. Creatures like this are entirely self-absorbed, completely unable to perceive of themselves as being in the wrong. Unfortuantely, they're too powerful for natural selection to take place..."

Jul 13 21:03:32 <Kotono>   Despite a moment of obvious apprehension as Kamvakua glares at her, "I will not relent! You will taste your own terror as winter envelopes you, goliath!" OOC: Roll init. She is intimidated, but she's too furious to back down right now.

Jul 13 21:54:48 <Kamvakua>   "Why'd you say okay?" Kamvakua wondered.
Jul 13 21:55:26 <Kotono>   "Most fey aren't that bad, just the Unseelie Court, right?" Yulia shivers. "She wasn't a nice, fun fey like pixies."
Jul 13 21:55:33 <Mari>   "I--I dunno, she was going on about her dead husband, and she'd been honest about the fire and everything, and...hells, I can't go around thinking just *everyone* we meet is trying to kill me! I'd go insane!"
Jul 13 21:56:57 <Kamvakua>   "Well, that I can understand...she seemed nice enough before..." Kamvkua shifted wishing he had seen through her kind smile earlier.
Jul 13 21:57:01 *   Adail nods, "While in retrospect it was a bad idea...I do agree with you there. Assuming the worst of everyone you meet is no way to live."
Jul 13 21:57:02 <Knight>   "Malicious intent or not, beings like that are inherently harmful to us mortals," replies Knight, with a shrug.
Jul 13 21:57:34 *   Adail snickers, "You're no more a mortal then I am, Knight."
Jul 13 21:58:06 <Knight>   "When it comes to surviving, in every way that matters, I'm a mortal."
Jul 13 21:58:31 <Kotono>   The party rides for an hour. No sign of pursuit or of more shelter offhand. Just endless Cold alla round them.
Jul 13 21:58:47 <Mari>   "I keep thinking about those servants back there...if we hadn't fought her off, I'd be one of them now. Stuck there forever, and she could just take over my body any time she wanted to. There are too many horrible fates waiting for people out here. Still, I knew you guys would help me out if something went wrong..."
Jul 13 21:58:56 <Kamvakua>   "We should keep going until we find a place we won't be buried under while we rest."
Jul 13 21:59:22 *   Adail heals people as they go!

Jul 13 22:02:15 <Knight>   "They got caught because they lacked sense, or failing that, strength," mutters Knight.
Jul 13 22:02:47 <Kotono>   Yulia drifts over to Adail as he heals, helping with a few cure minor wounds as needed!
Jul 13 22:03:17 <Mari>   "Or maybe just a gang of tough lackeys to help them out? I don't know if I like what you're suggesting, Knight. Just because someone's not as strong as us doesn't mean they deserve what they got."
Jul 13 22:03:46 <Knight>   "They might not deserve it, but that's just how things are."
Jul 13 22:04:23 <Mari>   "Hrm. That's an easy thing to say."

Jul 13 22:05:55 <Kotono>   You wander for another 3 hours. Fatigue begins to set in, matching the numbing cold. No sign of any shelter, just endless Cold all about yet.
Jul 13 22:06:01 <Knight>   "They may have fortune favour them where their other qualities fail. But this kind of thing happens all over. You'd go mad dwelling on it too much..."
Jul 13 22:07:23 <Kamvakua>   "This is looking bad.  Making camp in this snow storm would be exhausting itself."
Jul 13 22:08:05 <Mari>   "Maybe we can use Tusky as shelter, kinda? Set up tents to keep off the snow, sleep next to him? Might not smell the best, but it's better than nothing."
Jul 13 22:08:14 <Knight>   "We may have no choice," notes Knight, grimacing. "That was my thought."
Jul 13 22:08:35 *   Adail nods, "I can explain what we need to him."
Jul 13 22:09:26 <Adail>   "Do we want to keep going a bit further, or try and set up camp here?"
Jul 13 22:09:47 <Mari>   "I'm ready if you guys are. It's been a long and wretched day, let's seen an end to it?"
Jul 13 22:09:56 <Adail>   (OOC: Should Kam and I be rolling survival to try and find something, by the way?)
Jul 13 22:10:01 <Knight>   "I agree with Mari. We should take opportunities to conserve our strength.

Jul 13 22:10:50 <Kamvakua>   OOC: Kam is glad to roll survival to look for options/build snow iglo
Jul 13 22:11:17 <Kamvakua>   "Let's stop, it'll be just as dangerous if we keep looking.  We'll do what we can here."
Jul 13 22:11:38 <Kotono>   OOC: Go ahead and roll survival to see how good a shelter you get up. Whichever one of you have the big ranks in it.
Jul 13 22:12:31 *   Adail nods, "We can stop here then." Adail switches over to the tongue of the beasts and talks to Tusky, "We can't find shelter, so we'll need to sleep here. We'll be staying by your side for warmth, so try and stay still if you can."
Jul 13 22:12:44 <Kotono>   "Okay!" Tusky says, "Still! Hunting still!"

Jul 13 22:14:29 <Kotono>   Adail and Kamvakua work together, making a fine set of tents supported by the right amount of snow and solid. While not really warm, it does stop the snow from coming in. It's tight and smelly, the pungent scents of woolly mammoth and bodies placed closed together. But it's secure, they're sure of it. OOC: Going to just flat rest? Any sort of watch?

Jul 13 22:19:53 <Kamvakua>   "Is everyone ready to go?" Kamvakua stretched out, tugging his heavy furs tight around him as he packed to go.

Jul 13 22:26:39 <Kotono>   Most everyone can hear distant noise amid the snowstorm. It sounds like music, lutes and flutes and drums. It's ahead, roughly.
Jul 13 22:27:06 <Mari>   "You guys hear that? Sounds...like someone's having a party up ahead. In a snowstorm."
Jul 13 22:27:21 *   Adail peers ahead, "Hopefully someone honestly freindly this time."

Jul 13 22:28:25 *   Mari sighs. "I guess there's only one way to find out, right? Unless we just want to assume everyone we meet is going to be a terrible person and avoid them all...but I can't really do that."
Jul 13 22:29:30 *   Adail nods, "Nor should you. Onward, then?"
Jul 13 22:29:37 <Kamvakua>   "So let's go.  Hopefully if they don't like us, we can leave without bloodshed this time."
Jul 13 22:29:51 <Mari>   "Yeah. Yeah, let's go. See who else is crazy enough to live out here."
Jul 13 22:29:59 <Knight>   "In a place like this..." Knight just shakes her head, and drives Tusky onwards.
Jul 13 22:30:01 <Kotono>   Going ahead, you can begin to see. Several tall humanoids  to the tune of 10 feet tall - are dancing in the snow. They are barechested males, as white as the snowfall. Each one is bald, yet has a well trimmed goatee. They dance to the music, a band of them past them. Past even then is a colorful tent, blues and whites and purples. The snow is slightly lesser here, more in check.
Jul 13 22:30:17 <Kotono>   OOC: K:P can be made here if you guys desire.

Jul 13 22:34:32 <Mari>   "Qorrashi genies," Mari says for her friends' sake. "They should be okay as long as we're not jerks or anything. Cyronax tries to kill 'em off sometimes. If he doesn't like them, well, that's a good start, right?"
Jul 13 22:34:59 *   Adail half smiles, "Yes. Pleasent enough folk, from what I've heard."
Jul 13 22:35:09 <Kamvakua>   "No, a good start is saying hello."  Kamvakua smiled and waved at them.  "Hello and peacefully met."
Jul 13 22:37:31 <Kotono>   The dance of snow comes a pause here as the genie regard the party. "Hail...outsiders of Cold?" It sniffs the air, "You smell of warding magic and heat."
Jul 13 22:38:19 <Mari>   "Yeah, we've been here a day or two now. It's taking us some work to not freeze to death."
Jul 13 22:38:20 <Adail>   "I'm an Outsider of Elysium, actually. You all are the Outsiders of Cold," Adail quips with a grin.
Jul 13 22:38:20 <Knight>   "You have quite the keen nose. Or have you dealt with outsiders before?" wonders Knight, peering down from the top of her elephant. "Indeed, such things are necessary."
Jul 13 22:40:37 <Kotono>   ADail gets a few chuckles from the genies. "What are you traveling this realm for? It is not a easy realm for your type."
Jul 13 22:42:12 <Mari>   "We don't have much choice. We've got to in order to work off sort of a debt one of his, in his infinite wisdom," Mari glares at Nik," incurred."
Jul 13 22:42:18 <Mari>   *one of us
Jul 13 22:43:39 <Kotono>   "Ah, the bonds of debt." A few nods, "We cannot absolve you of them, but we can offer you a night's hospitality, if you care for it.
Jul 13 22:43:40 <Kotono>   "
Jul 13 22:44:37 <Knight>   "We can still make good time today," murmurs Knight, squinting into the distance.
Jul 13 22:45:16 <Kamvakua>   "That indeed would be well welcome.  We can share stories in exchange," Kamvakua nodded.  "We should rest when we can.  Haste here could catch us often tired and cold."
Jul 13 22:45:45 <Mari>   "Well, we haven't been on the road all that long today, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to stop for a bit, I think."
Jul 13 22:46:01 <Knight>   "A break, then."
