The Nexus

[Draconic Talks] "Perhaps you can strike up a new deal in exchange for artwork." Askeladd seizes on the one thing Bishmu seems to actually care about (besides his own ego). "More transparently this time and with more privacy for you. I think you'll also find that people will be more ...

[The Academy] This is indeed fairly low on the scale of threats Vigil faces. Wenomir's rancor stems from personal grievance. "I don't know if he's an actual god. I don't know how one defines a real deity. But he appeared in person and in visions, proclaiming himself Jarowit's heir. He does hav...

Some time after his initial encounter with Krayger, Askeladd arrives at Bloodsong's again. He does want to see Krayger again... he enjoyed talking to him. Krayger has a certain air of wit and practicality around him. Something many people around Askeladd lack, given his tendency to get involved with...

[Arkham Street Manor]

"Seems I might need to ask her a couple more questions." Bunny's motivations seem conspicuously absent from his reasoning. "This seems... like a complicated mess I've only scratched the surface of. And here I am in the middle of it."

[Finding GLoG] "I saw the flash and I thought... well, never mind." A weird assumption on Reelshka's part. "For the record, no, I'm not a dragon, but we do need to get you to the infirmary quickly. Can you walk? It's not far." [Demons and Demigods] Sophie is in the daycare again...

[Castle Pinktooth - The Trio] "But if you do want to do it, we appreciate your sacrifice." Brinika is aware that Khannie doesn't like her tail being touched. And yet this does sound like the kind of offering that would attract Civvy. [Castle Pinktooth - Young Knight] Iknika's ears dip a l...

[Riverside Moonwell] "I don't think anyone is a fan of this goo. But yes, that might be. Minor spirits and such. I should be able to convince them. Terrestrial gods are often deferential when dealing with a Sidereal." Hiep stretches. "But aside from that... do you know a place where ...

[In Search of Distraction] Anastasia's efforts seem to be going in the right direction, as Coco chips with contentment. "She seems to like it. I got Coco when Koshal, Cassandra and Lucien conspired to get me a pet." He might be embellishing just slightly. "Cassandra is my partner and...

[New Recruit] "Alright!" Olvisin gives Jerick an energetic clap on the back when the paperwork is done. "Let's start out with meeting my siblings. They're also small folk who like to tinker so you'll fit right in." [After the Explosion] Fayyaad rubs his forehead. That's... a lot...

[Finding GLoG] If either of the visitors are attuned to such things, they might feel or see the spirits that guard the campsite. More mundanely, they are approached by a short, blonde goblin woman. "Yes, hello. Thank you for announcing yourself clearly," she observes. "My name is Ree...

[Castle Pinktooth - The Trio] It gradually dawns on Brinika that the three of them are very poorly-equipped to do what they're trying to do. Khannie isn't religious and doesn't get religion in general. Cheasadh has trauma from her old family and their evil god. And Brinika herself is used to a dist...

[After the Explosion] "I don't know who MERC would send instead. But I do know you almost died once. And I don't want to be scared for you like that again." Fayyaad speaks slowly, trying to put his thoughts in order. "Which means that if you do follow through with it, I'm going to st...

[Arkham Street Manor]

"And why would this reflect poorly on the person who asked me to come 'ere?" Michalson is turning this information in his head ask the question. "I don't get the impression she's had a lot of choices about anything. Not until I met her."

[Hunting Lodge] Silent Feathers regards Sekhmet for a moment. She's... earnest, to be certain. He hasn't seen something like this in a long while. "It is noble, to take up a duty you didn't ask for because you are needed." She needs to hear it. "You called them to come meet you, so w...

[After The Explosion]

"Well, you better. I didn't pull you out of there for nothing." Fayyaad smiles slightly, trying to inject some humor into the situation. "What about your plans with Raven? Still want to keep working on her?"

[Well Training]

Thariza doesn't let this opportunity go to waste. She bounds forward in a feline leap and tries to bring her hammer down on Emily's stomach, bringing them into a close melee.

[Arkham Street Manor] "What did the alleged no-good tell you?" Perhaps Bunny doesn't need to fear that Hoshiki will take her... in which case he can be upfront with the big basher. But it's best to make sure first. He looks over to Lia. "I did get the feelin' he was posturin' just a ...

[Well Training] Thariza's attack is indeed stopped in its tracks, but she doesn't give up easily. Her axe is in her hands again and she swings her weapons from up and down, trying to trap Emily's leg between them and then yank it to the side. [Hunting Lodge] Silent Feathers Drifting is still there,...

[The Streets] Upon Ilpholin's signal, the elves start enacting the plan. Two groups of three elves, wearing cloaks, enter Hell Bend from the southwest, one slightly after the other. Two of them, in separate groups, have weapons that can't be hidden under cloaks. One of them, an unstrung bow, is car...

[After The Explosion] "Hey, Fay." Rose greets the tiefling in a surprisingly chipper tone, fidgeting with her new eyepatch a bit in some last-second adjustments. "Yeah. Doctor Bu's doing wonders for me. If not for some recent sensitivity to the term, I'd call her a miracle worker.&qu...

[Arkham Street Manor] There's a door in the kitchen that leads to the backyard, it's not hard to find. The garden is a bit overgrown due to lack of care. The armor is stashed in a decripit, vine-covered shed, along with aged and rusty gardening tools; the door is mercifully unlocked. The armor has ...

[Draconic Talks]

"Maybe another means of communication can be established. Where the townsfolk can communicate with you when they need it, and the other way around." Askeladd tries another angle. "It would foster a more respectful relationship on both sides."

[After The Explosion]

Fayyaad will peek in or knock, depending on whether the door is closed.

"Rose? I see you're recovering well," he says by way of opening the conversation.

[Well Training] "Right on. I'm just getting started." Thariza steps forward, bashing her weapons together as another image of a Charr appears above her. This time it doesn't attack, but seems to make her stronger. She throws her axe, which lands behind Emily... and then she teleports to i...

[Arrivals] "I haven't asked for details. But something being illegal doesn't mean someone couldn't manage it. He just needed resources." Then she beams widely. "Oh, they really are, aren't they? They look more like Trick, but they have my eyes. And those adorable little crocodile tai...

[After the Explosion]

A day or two after he rescued her from the rubble of the milk factory, Fayyaad goes to look for Rose. He's having concerns about her plans.

[The Academy] Through heroic effort, Wenomir smiles as he waves at Jillian. "Bye, Jillian. It was good to see you." When Cessie's daughter is gone, his expression falls again but at least it doesn't look like it'd make milk curdle when he looks at it. "Yes, and we need to discuss it ...

[Castle Pinktooth - Young Knight] "I don't know yet." Iknika sighs. This doesn't make her sound very serious or knight-worthy. "I want to dedicate myself to something, even if I don't know what. Being a knight speaks to me more than anything. I don't want to just vanish into the crow...

[In Search of a Distraction] "True, true. I don't deal with babies often. I used to, when I was about your age. Grew up in a small village, where babies are everyone's problem." He looks down at Coco, who swivels her head vertically to peer at Eliseo from different angles, making "wo...

[Well Training]

Emily's lack of reaction to her trick throws Thariza off-balance and the thrust strikes home. The Charr makes a rather comedic startled yelp as she staggers forward and almost falls on her back.
