  1. Sugarboy says, "Oh my, something to show?~"
  2. [23:43] Ohtli Tezcacoatl says, "Quite. You will see."
  3. [23:51] Just outside the housing district of Levengard there's a marked change in the surroundings. It's a clear boundary between the touch of civilization and the wilds to the north and the east, as if nature somehow, some way made a wall to separate between the two. There is only a narrow path among the overgrowth that grows rampant just outside of the city's boundaries.
  4.  
  5. From between the branches it's easy to catch glimpses of faint figures moving through the foliage.
  6.  
  7. The dense lines of trees and grasses are broken only when they reach a clearing before a moss and vine covered tower. The circular lawn is far from empty; in its epicenter is a large, emerald green sprout that reaches up roughly twice the height of a grown man. From above, beyond the visible cloud line, a pale blue column of light strikes the uppermost fronds, in one of which rests a strange, runed egg. All around the center piece of flora is a dense thicket of thorns.
  8.  
  9. As she guides her guests into the center, it's clear they're not alone. Those vague shapes in the wood that wander its expanse can be seen here too. Spirits, multitudes upon multitudes of them, roam freely.
  10.  
  11. All of the grove here thrums with potent magics of spirits, life, and purity.
  12.  
  13. However the Drakan doesn't linger outside long. She brings the Gehennan entourage into the tower proper and to a spartan meeting table.
  14. (Ohtli Tezcacoatl)
  15. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  16.  
  17. [23:52] Ohtli Tezcacoatl says, "Please, please. Sit. Make yourselves comfortable."
  18. [23:58] Ezmara's chieftain would follow behind the Shaman who had now moved to Levengard- the old man always did love the colorful trees of this northern coast. He'd follow her through the dense foliage, with a couple of Gehenna's finest, whisps of figures passing around them and catching his wonder.
  19.  
  20. He had finally stepped into the spirit world for the first time not too long ago, a fantastic place that words couldn't begin to describe. To see spirits walking around and at peace brought a smile to his face. He'd step inside and take a seat beside her at the spartan table.
  21.  
  22. "My my Ohtli, definitely seems like you're been keeping yourself busy up here~ I'm sure you have a lot to catch me up on."
  23. (Sugarboy)
  24. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  25.  
  26. [23:58] "Wow.."
  27.  
  28. That's about all Saba can get out. Was this forest here the last time he was in Levengard? Maybe.. It's not like he really ventured to this part anyways, but Spirits... It was cool.
  29.  
  30. Like really cool.
  31.  
  32. His green eyes, darted along the forest, picking up the faintest movements through the woods, but it was probably for the best that he doesn't question it. Though the tower... Holy shit, that thing was awesome! IT was all covered in moss, and stuff!
  33.  
  34. Though he wouldn't get to stare at it for long, see as the group was quickly moving into the tower. Once inside, he take a seat in the chair next to Sugarboy.
  35.  
  36. "This place is really cool."
  37.  
  38. (Saba)
  39. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  40.  
  41. [23:59] Declan burps.
  42. (Declan)
  43. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  44.  
  45. [23:59] Declan says, "Big place."
  46. [00:02] Where...?
  47.  
  48. Following the feather winged Drakan into a thicket, the Nagual's unease, and general distaste for greater Levengard would wash over into intrigue as they entered what felt like an ethereal inkling of a forest.
  49.  
  50. Things felt so muddled here, time, motions, and even thoughts as they traversed into her tower where he felt there wasn't much in the way of the world he knew here.
  51.  
  52. He'd take a seat rather promptly, blinking as he looked around, the blessed panther would barely make a single peep as he attempted to keep his wits about him in this time of complete paradigm destruction.
  53.  
  54. "I--...uh......Oh..So...a Spirit World?
  55.  
  56. I'm so confused...."
  57.  
  58. He'd scratch his neck and simply shrug.
  59. (Kabu)
  60. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  61.  
  62. [00:10] The Drakan interlaces her claws, smiling primly to those gathered at her table.
  63.  
  64. "I have devoted my time, blood, and resources to making this place. It is growing, coming along, but still...far from finished. I'm glad you all find it to your liking.
  65.  
  66. "It isn't quite the Spirit world. But all this forest is under its influence thanks to the bridge that's been made outside. It needs more stability, however.
  67.  
  68. "I was wanting to speak to you about construction here of that temple, Sugarboy. Does Gehenna have the last of the supplies yet? And I'd be willing to pay some of the tribesmen to help begin laying stones. The world is only getting more and more dangerous. I will not rush this project, it is far too important, but putting forth progress is important."
  69. (Ohtli Tezcacoatl)
  70. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  71.  
  72. [00:14] Saba silently nods along, as he listens to Ohtli speak. There was nothing for him to really add, well, at least until she mentioned getting some of the tribesmen to help laying stones. Which was something he was more than willing to assist with.
  73.  
  74. "Well, I'm always down to help you out, Ohtli. Sooo! Just let me know when construction is starting, and I'll show up to provide some assistance."
  75.  
  76. He'd flash her a one of his goofy smiles, and a thumbs up.
  77. (Saba)
  78. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  79.  
  80. [00:15] Kabu says, "Mnh...I suppose i wouldn't mind as well. I don't care for the walls surrounding this place. But I believe in your dream."
  81. [00:16] Ohtli Tezcacoatl asks, "Walls?...Do you mean Leven?"
  82. [00:16] Saba says, "I think so."
  83. [00:17] Ohtli Tezcacoatl says, "They have been helping me make this place. But the goal of the forest will be for far more than just Levengard."
  84. [00:17] Ohtli Tezcacoatl says, "What I do here I don't intend to be contained by politics or borders."
  85. [00:19] {Item} You picked up Wood x200. Dropped by Sugarboy.
  86. [00:19] {Item} You picked up Egg x6. Dropped by Sugarboy.
  87. [00:24] Kabu says, "I see.."
  88. [00:26] A smile and a nod would follow, a project he had been privy to for some odd number of years now. "A forest is it's own wall, Kabu, the most natural and beautiful barrier there is. And Dear Ohtli here has fortified it by tying the spirits here to expel foul magics and souls trapped within bodies." He'd explain, atleast to the best of his ability to save ohtli some breath.
  89.  
  90. The Captain hat would bob with another nod. "We still need some time to gather the resources, this is what I have on me now.. Mostly stone and food now- Saba and Kabu have been helping me, though if you guys can help in rallying the tribes to gather more ores and donate crops, it'd be a great help." He'd share status and request for more assistance in that endeavor, age certainly was taking it's wear on the sweet man.
  91.  
  92. "As for workers, I can speak with some of Ezmara's craftsmen and have some sent up here to help with build until we get the rest of the resources finished up. I'll also speak with Tototl to have Ezmara share some of theirs as well."
  93. (Sugarboy)
  94. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  95.  
  96. [00:30] The smile grows sly and she nods.
  97.  
  98. "Too king as ever, Sugarboy," she remarks. He did thankfully save her some breath. Bless him.
  99.  
  100. "So long as work can begin, I am more than content with that. I thank you all for your offers of help. If you enter the wood on behalf of the project, the spirits here shouldn't bother you. Most of them were Gehennan tribesmen in life, after all.
  101.  
  102. "I thank you all deeply, by the way, for coming here to speak with me. Travel is getting more difficult for these old bones these days, I'm afraid...That is all I wished to discuss, truly. I won't keep you too long if you have elsewhere to be. Home is a comfort I won't begrudge you."
  103. (Ohtli Tezcacoatl)
  104. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  105.  
  106. [00:37] "Right, gather more wood, and stone. Got it!" As he finished speaking, he realized he actually had a couple things that could be used for stone on him. It wasn't much, but it's better than nothing!
  107.  
  108. Probably.
  109.  
  110. So! He'd carefully get out of his seat, before slowly moving over towards Ohtli, once there he'd remove what little ore he had on him to give to bird move.
  111.  
  112. Which was, five steel, and five adamantite… It's not a lot, but y'know, it's a start.
  113.  
  114. "All yours, Ohtli."
  115.  
  116. With that, he'd move back over towards his chair, waiting for the other members of his party to do... Something.
  117. (Saba)
  118. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  119.  
  120. [00:37] {Item} You picked up Adamantite x5. Dropped by Saba.
  121. [00:37] {Item} You picked up Steel x5. Dropped by Saba.
  122. [00:40] Simply nodding, Kabu would understand that this place needed some Gehennan love, and he'd do good to get a good amount of resources for it.
  123.  
  124. Tapping his chin and digesting what Sugarchief had said he would figure that they'd done all of the discussing they needed to in order to understand their mutual mission.
  125.  
  126. With a bit of a stretch he'd get up from the chair. Giving another nod to the woman as he would make his way. He seemed to shine a bit at a chance to prove his splendor to another of the tribe's blood.
  127.  
  128. Looking to Arlei as they came by he'd suppose she had business with the old bird. "I'll take my leave now, this was pleasant miss."
  129. (Kabu)
  130. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  131.  
  132. [00:47] A finger tapped against the table a couple times, his slick shades pulled from a deceased tribemate looked over each of the boys present- the future faces of Gehenna, as the Chieftain was quickly realizing, dedicated to their people and the spirits, it brought a smile to his face.
  133.  
  134. "I believe we're almost good on wood, if my estimates are correct, about three thousand more unites of wood, seven thousand stone, and eight thousand food. I say we take a couple days to cut and replant, then we just keep constant trips going to mine and farm. Should be able to get the rest to keep production a flowing."
  135.  
  136. A plan dispersed, a fond smile would be casted to the blue Drakan, an appreciation for her and everything she's done for their people. "After we get your temple built, I'll have to have you come visit the bathhouse once it's finished, soak away the years of worries and stress- and we can have some nice tea as well~" Invititation extended, work needed to be done, and he would rise.
  137.  
  138. "Hopefully next time we meet is soon, and cutting the ribbon on the grand opening of your temple~ It'll be nice to finally see it completed."
  139. (Sugarboy)
  140. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  141.  
  142. [00:48] Saba says, "Huatl... I'm gonna be stuck cutting trees for hours..."
  143. [00:49] Sugarboy says, "Ah I'll brew us some lumberjacks aid and tea and we'll knock it out quiiiiick""
  144. [00:50] Saba says, "Right..."
  145. [00:50] The business is kept brief, amiable even. She rises, still smiling and at ease in her own veritable demense, and joins the others as they prepare to leave.
  146.  
  147. "Yes. By far, most of the resources have been collected. It is pleasing to see and I am immensely grateful. My heart goes to all of you."
  148.  
  149. Ohtli likewise looks fondly on the Chief with a genial nod. He'd done well by her, the tribes, and the spirits. What more could she ask for?
  150.  
  151. "It will be a blessing when it is done. Finally then maybe I can rest. After all this? I'll be due for tea and a long, long soak.
  152.  
  153. "But please. Spirits protect you all. Travel well back to Gehenna."
  154. (Ohtli Tezcacoatl)
  155. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  156.  
  157. [00:50] Saba offers a warm smile, and a no to Ohtli.
  158. (Saba)
  159. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  160.  
  161. [00:50] Saba says, "Of course."
  162. [00:50] Saba says, "Spirits protect."
  163. [00:50] At this point, Arlei walked into the tower, a large package under her arm with a note attached. She waited for the crowd to disperse before moving in with it.
  164. (Arlei Therus)
  165. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  166.  
  167. [00:52] Kabu says, "May you walk in the glory of the Huntress, Spiritwalker."
  168. [00:52] Sugarboy gives Ohtli a hug before departing with the youth.
  169. (Sugarboy)
  170. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  171.  
  172. [00:52] Ohtli Tezcacoatl says, "And may you walk beneath Her sight, Kabu."
  173. [00:52] Sugarboy says, "Spirits protect, and until next time~"
  174. [00:53] Saba says, "May Huatl's spirit burn bright... and all that, I dunno if Huatl has a saying."
  175. [00:53] Saba says, "I should... I should think up one for em."
  176. [00:53] Ohtli Tezcacoatl says, "A fine idea."
  177. [00:53] Arlei Therus says, "Spirits protect, guys."
  178. [00:53] Saba says, "Take care, Ohtli."
