Age of The End (D&D 5E) (IC)

Shalia politely nods and walks away from the goddess. For a moment she debated going to check her room or petting the catgirl. She walks over to the catgirl and with a smile she asks "Can I touch your ears?" Shalia hands move closer to the catgirl's cat ears. "I'm Shalia newly ascended disciple of Saiama." Shalia's gaze moves from the catgirl's ears to breasts and cat repeatedly as she speaks. "Your ears are so cute and your cat is pretty cute too."

Hopsek takes a moment to take it all in before inspecting all of the items in the room. The bed, the closet, the empty chest. He spends a little bit too much time just looking at each thing, then he makes his way to the desk and reads the note attached to the package.

The note reads as follows....

" Hopsek the goblin,

From this day forward, you shall be my student. I hope you take these as a gift to welcome you to my palace... Use them to lay a path of death in my name... and remember, if you ever find your self in need of wisdom, my siblings and I are here to guide you...

, Lokckar the Goddess of Death"

, Lokckar the Goddess of Death"

A path of death. Hopsek felt he was certainly capable of doing that. He folded the note back up and turned his attention to the package, opening it excitedly.

Diella can't help but smile at Athaclenna's outburst. It's quite a change from the dignified and, well, professional self Diella is used to seeing from the cleric. She can understand where Athaclenna is coming from, though - there is something instinctively likeable about Saiama. Perhaps the goddess's bashful mannerisms contribute to it, but the halfling almost feels a protective instinct welling up. Not only for the sake of her village or even abstract reasons like the fate of the world, but also (and perhaps even more so) for Saiama's sake, Diella has to pull herself together and face the threat of the Hell Knights.

She nods at the new information, and makes a mental note to take a look at her room later. First though, Diella has been mulling over a question of her own, and the sooner she can get an answer, the better.

"Lady Saiama," she begins, clasping her hands self-consciously. "I'd... like to ask something about my core. We were told it's a sort of synthetic organ, and, um, well..." The druid stares at her feet. "I-I hope I'm not sounding ungrateful asking this, but, um, it's not a machine or anything, is it? Because, well, you see, I was raised to try and connect to the natural world as much as possible and avoid, well, uh... closer contact with metal-based technology, you could say, like armor or - oh, I'm sure you'd know all about these things, though." Noticing herself tripping over her words, she pauses and rubs her ears that must have flushed, hot as they are. "Well, um, what I'm trying to say is, I think... will this new calling hinder me in progressing in my old one? Not that I'd refuse because of that, of course!" Diella hurries to add.

In the package, you find a pair of fingerless gloves, With The following Symbols sewed on to the backs.

炬 on the Right glove, and 毒 on the left.

Saiama tilts her head in confusion for a bit, as if thinking of a way to put the explanation in a simple and hind hearted way... "Well, no it isn't... Your core takes more the form of a small, glassy, crystal ball if anything." she gently replied, seeming to feel concerned over your own worries.

 

[Ian Temero]

You are eventually approached by a Saurian cyborg, He stands at least 6ft even and he's looking you in the eye with a gaze of confusion... "is there...something we can do for you?" He inquired, with a tone of caution.

Okay, a robo-dinosaur. That was a thing apparently. "Yes." She answered, a tilt in one of her ears being the only sign of her confusion towards the saurian. "I left my little sister in the care of Saiama's church back on the mortal plain and I was hoping someone here could help me check up on her. See how her condition is, how much I owe the church, stuff like that."

Shalia politely nods and walks away from the goddess. For a moment she debated going to check her room or petting the catgirl. She walks over to the catgirl and with a smile she asks "Can I touch your ears?" Shalia hands move closer to the catgirl's cat ears. "I'm Shalia newly ascended disciple of Saiama."

Páh's ears shifted towards the approaching girl before her eyes did, pleasantly surprised to find it was the hot tiefling. Then she was just plain surprised when the girl asked if she could touch her ears. The ears were a bit of sensitive subject, as they were what made her different from everyone else. She'd had plenty of people ask about them, why she had them, what she was, but no one had ever asked to touch them. Some had tried to touch, but never had they asked before, so the cat girl wasn't sure what to think.

And then she caught the Tiefling glance down.

Was she getting checked out? She should probably think of the request as quite flattering then. That is if the girl was in fact having that inclination. Well one good way to find out. "Páh Raruuku, or Moon if you can't pronounce that. And you're rather cute yourself." She said. She pretended to consider the request for a moment. "Normally I'd say no, but for you I'll make an exception. Feel free to pet Toketsi and me." Then she leaned in and added with a smirk. "The ears too."

The Cyborg looked over to Saiama's direction and called out something in saurian to her, Saiama would then summon a pinkish crystal mass and gaze into it before dismissing it. She would then respond back to the saurian in the same language. "She's currently at the Hognier city orphanage, and she is attending the church to study to be a cleric. You owe the church nothing, and unless you have visited after becoming an ascended... you are currently presumed dead." He would state nonchalantly back to Páh in common.

"Oh, um, of course. That should be perfectly fine, then," Diella nods, the tension leaving her shoulders. She should have expected nothing less from a gift from the gods themselves, but it was good to hear it spelled out nonetheless.

"I'm sorry if that was a stupid question. It's just, well, all of this is still new to me," she tries to explain. "And to be honest, I might have another one, if that's alright. These powers we gained - do we just experiment with them to see what they can do, or is there a certain way to go about learning to use them? I'd hate for someone to get hurt because I made a mistake."

Does Hopsek understand the symbols?

No, he does not.

A smile returns to the goddess's face, "Yes, I would recomend you experiment with your powers... try and use them in a way you'd feel suited to."

Hopsek looks at the gloves curiously. Not sure what the symbols mean, or what their intention is, he stuffs them in a pocket for future inspection. Perhaps the cat lady could help him decipher them, she apparently had been around for some time and she had been told to show Hopsek the ropes.

He pulled out his map and found Saiama's palace, then stuff the map back away in its pocket and made his way briskly there, being sure to carefully close the door and leave the room exactly as he found it sans the gloves now in his possession.

As he walked he took it all in, often spinning around on his path to keep his line of sight on something interesting, or taking small detours to follow a particularly curious creature, always heading toward Saiama’s palace.

Shalia blushes a little. "It's a real pleasure to meet you Páh. That kind of petting isn't something that should be done in a public space like this, but if you want you could follow me up to my new room. I haven't actually been in my new room yet and I could use your help breaking it in." Shalia pets the catgirl's chin and leans in a little before starting to pet the ears. "Wow they are even softer than I thought they would be."

Currently presumed dead. She would have to fix that. Wouldn't want Sakuru thinking she was all alone now. "Thank you." She told the saurian. Not having to pay the church was a bonus. Her sister becoming a cleric? Not sure how she felt about that. Still there were worse things that she could be doing. Anyways right now there was something more pressing to attend to. Namely the cute thing flirting her up.

She was very pleased to see that she had been right about Shalia, though she raised a brow at the chin petting. A little more forward than she had predicted. Not that it was a problem. Just meant they could skip past the shy girl routine and get strait to the action. "Oh I think I can help with that." She purred as the tiefling started stroking her ears. "Might want to test the bed while we're at it, hm? Mind leading the way?"

 

[TyranntX]

You Finally arrive at Saiama's palace, and you see one of your party petting the cat girl.

Shalia finds Páh's purring to be pretty sexy. She stops petting the ears and gives a quick kiss to the check. "I like the way you think." Shalia grabs one of the catgirl's hands and starts pulling it along with her as she walks into her new room. Shalia is excited to see her new room and to play some naughty games with her new kitty friend.

You two make your way to Shalia's room... Both of you make a... *Ahem*... "Performance" Check (Charisma)

Having tried out her new bow, which was beautifully superb, Brea hurried from the training grounds. Hopefully she'd be able to catch up Kalvienne and Toryk before they left.

Once again, because RPN hates fun, the details of this moment will NOT be disclosed.

Ian Temero , Despite being inexperienced... you did quite well.

Ilikepie , You didn't do as great... but still managed to satisfy (that'll happen when you roll an 11)

Having tried out her new bow, which was beautifully superb, Brea hurried from the training grounds. Hopefully she'd be able to catch up Kalvienne and Toryk before they left.

When you return to the main hall you notice that Xai hasn't moved, and most of the people enjoying the banquet are still here.

 

[Equusheart]

Brea's eyes fell on the Lord as she returned to the main hall and she gave him a grateful smile and a bow of her head. Turning her gaze to the rest of the hall, she noticed Toryk and Kalvienne hadn't gotten back yet. She sighed. Perhaps she could indulge a little in the banquet while she waited for them. Her stomach rumbled in agreement to that thought.

Her stomach rumbled in agreement to that thought.

When you start gathering food, you take notice of a tiefling woman who has an awful lot of food on her plate.

 

[Equusheart]

Brea eyes the woman's plate but says nothing. "Hello," she said instead with a smile. "Are you one of Xai's apprentices as well?"

 

[TyranntX]

Brea eyes the woman's plate but says nothing. "Hello," she said instead with a smile. "Are you one of Xai's too?"

The woman spins around without spilling even a crumb of food (some how?) and faces you with a wide eyed grin.... and immediately fired of questions like a machine gun "Hiya! Your one of the newbies right? Your pretty, What's your name? Why did Lord Xai want all of your friends? Is it true that he did? Did He Give you that shiny new bow? Where are the other three Newbies? Are they Sick? Are they Lost?" she sputtered, who ever this girl is she really likes to talk... And if memory serves She was the one who was causing all of that trouble earlier.

 

[Equusheart]

Brea blinks, a little taken aback by the tiefling's energy and rapid questions. She forced a smile, however, still trying to be polite. "Oh, uh, yes I'm one of the new ones here. My name is Brea. I don't know why Lord Xai wanted all of us, but I'm sure he has his reasons. Yes, he did give me a new bow. I don't know where they are, but no they are not sick or lost." As Brea spoke she eyed the banquet table. She wondered if they had any blackberries. She looked back at the tiefling. "So what was your name?"
