  1.  20<TrisSebell>30 Gheidjin was in the commons, working on something. She had a dinner tray over her lap; on top was a small vial of what looks like seeds, properly sealed inside and a few papers. Closing her eyes and resting her head briefly againt the back of the couch. She was wearing a plum sweater with a pink undershirt and deep orange leggings that had green tie-dye lines on it. Her white hair was up in a high bun.

  3.  18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox walks in, human form today. He looks about the room until he sees Ghei. He gives a wave, smiling widely!
  4.  20<TrisSebell>30 She hears someone walking by and opens her eyes, smiling back and giving him a wave. "Namaste Lennox. How have you been? Have you seen the news?"
  5.  18<27dragonwielder18> He shakes his head. "Have not, what is new that I have not heard?" He asks curiously as he goes to sit beside her.
  6.  20<TrisSebell>30 "It seems something is running about in Sanctum. I haven't seen anything myself, but it seems they are telling people to be aware." Ghiedjin commented, "The lady that had been reporting it got dragged off." She frowned, "Strange that there was no one but people with guns to protect her."
  7.  18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox frowns, he now moves closer to her, almost in a protective manner.
  8.  20<TrisSebell>30 She took the tray and moved it off her lap, placing it aside on the end table. "It's all over the news now, although the camera didn't show very well what took her away. It truly looked like a monster." She watches as he moves closer to her. She looks to the vial, "I am...debating on going out to find her, despite being told to stay inside."
  9.  18<27dragonwielder18> "Will go with you if you do. Will not let you go alone."
  10.  20<TrisSebell>30  She picks up the vial, "Then let me go to my room. I might need more seeds and dirt." She stands up to her full 7'2 height and smiles at Lennox. "Thank you, for coming with me."
  11. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox nods as he begins following her. "Would not have it any other way." He smiles.
  12. 20<TrisSebell>30 She hurries up to her room, grabbing a jacket, a belt with many pockets and some seeds and soil. Placing them all individually in pockets. She slips on some hiking boots, "Is there anything you will need from your room?" Gheidjin asked him about it. She had traveled out on a mission once and it had gone...badly. This time she hoped for much better.
  13. 18<27dragonwielder18> "Do not have much." He summons his wings and prepares his spells. "Am ready now."

  15. 20<TrisSebell>30 They head outside, "I think our best place to look was where the video was taken.." She thinks back on the video. it's not that hard, it's had been repeating often enough by the local news. "It would be a place far from the schools and dorm areas. If they had not, there would have been some other's trying to get on camera." Taking out her cell phone, she brings up the clip again, looking for something to give her a clue as 
  16. 20<TrisSebell>30 to where they had been filming. The Sanctum was huge.
  17. 18<27dragonwielder18> He follows behind her, being on high alert as his turquoise eyes peer about, looking for any movement.
  18. 20<TrisSebell>30 "Hmm it looks like city hall. But where is he dragging her?" Well, now they know where to go, she begins to trot out of 5s and towards Haven.
  19. 18<27dragonwielder18> "Do not like where this is going." He mumbles as he follows, determined to protect her if he needs to.

  21. 20<TrisSebell>30 "What do you mean?" She asked him as they began to walk towards City Hall
  22. 18<27dragonwielder18> "We are hunting monster. Not like where this is going."
  23. 20<TrisSebell>30 "We are not hunting a monster, Lennox. Hunting it means we know how to kill it. If those gunshots say anything, it means that guns have little effect." She gave him an encouraging smile, "We are on a rescue mission."
  24. 18<27dragonwielder18> He smiles nervously. "Still means running into monster to save person though.... But if person is saved, is worth it in the end."
  25. 18<28Silvors18> A brick hits the ground in an alley a block or so down, not quiet by any means and barely audible to Lennox and unheard by Gheidjin.
  26. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox instantly points in the direction of the brick. "Hear something that way."
  27. 20<TrisSebell>30 Not hearing the sound, Gheidjin looks around briefly. "It is. Especially if we all can leave without serious injury." She wasn't about to say death. At Lennox's pointing, She slows her steps and puts a finger over lips. "Quiet, and let's see.." She whispers softly.
  28. 18<28Silvors18> Dead silence from the direction Lennox points.
  29. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox nods and follows quietly. His footsteps silent like a hunting cat.
  30. 20<TrisSebell>30 Her hand goes to one her pockets as she walks as quietly as she can towards the alleyway, keeping a look out around them as they move. She breathes slowly and deeply to calm herself.

  37. 18<22GameServ18> 4d3-8+3 = 4
  38. 18<28Silvors18> Spiders walk with eight legs, climbing on surfaces with ease. This, however, did not. From its hips eight arms of various skin-tones sprouted, holding brick and window seals as it stared at the pair from its spot on the second floor, outside of a building. From its shoulder it had a pair of arms, big ones with musculature. It's face had a stitched shut mouth and a dull, muffled scream could be heard from it, quieter because of
  39.  18<28Silvors18> its mouth being shut. Its eyes were wide in an almost comical fashion. Mainly because the skin around its eyes had been stitched back to keep them open. The thing leered at the party, its eyes filled with a mix of insanity and terror as it clawed, metal in its forty lower fingertips clicked as it crawled along the side of the building. It stared down at the group, its eyes bloodshot. Lennox manages to notice the thing,
  40.  18<28Silvors18> Gheidjin does not.
  41.  18<27dragonwielder18> "GHEIDJIN." He points to it as he steps in front of her.

  46.  18<28Silvors18> It falls and Gheidjin barely manages to avoid the ten grasping arms. The lower eight ones land on the ground, pushing to let the woman, this was a woman once, stand. Her eyes had a look of sheer and utter terror as her upper arms, which were white compared to her dark skin, the two massive things, caused her entire upper half to lean back at an awkward angle.
  47.  18<27dragonwielder18> "Hello? Are still alive in there? GIVE US SIGN."
  48.  20<TrisSebell>30 She dodged and rolled away, letting go of some of the seeds in her hands. They will begin to grow quickly, the spring runoff of water makes it easier for the vines to grow and wrap around the lower wrists and arms. Aging quickly, thorns will begin to develop if the hit connects.   "Look at it Lennox! it's been tortured! I do not think it wishes to talk, even if it could! All those hands and it doesn't have the sense to 
  49. 20<TrisSebell>30 grab a knife to open its mouth." She focuses on the vines (Gaia's shaper)

  53. 18<22GameServ18> 4d3-8+10 = 8
  54. 18<28Silvors18> The thing darts with surprising speed and agility despite its upper body bowing back. A hand does get grabbed, one of the lower set, but it just /tears/ and the sound of popping can be heard as it escapes, a few now dislocated fingers dangling from that arm as it looks around in complete panic, its larger arms limp and jostling as its head darted.
  55. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox casts ice spikes, only now he casts them in the form of mist, meant to freeze the spider woman's feet to the floor. (ice shard)

  61.  18<28Silvors18> It stepped, dodging the shards of ice with ease before going to throw one of its leg-hands at Lennox to grab him.

  68.  24* Knave has quit (Quit: Knave Out)
  69.  18<27dragonwielder18> is brawn physical defense?
  70.  18<28Silvors18> Catlike Reflexes has agility listed, so it would be agility not brawn.

  72.  18<22GameServ18> 4d3-8+8 = 8
  73.  20<TrisSebell>30 Gheidjin frowns and switches to a faster vine, this time tossing it at the body itself. This time while it's occupied with the coiling, grabby vines; the sidewalk underneath it begins to soften and turn into clay.
  74. 20<TrisSebell>30 `calc 4d3-8+9
  75. 18<22GameServ18> 4d3-8+9 = 9
  76. 18<28Silvors18> The thing shifted, moving to get its footing with its eight legs. Two moved to grab the bricks, skin rubbing off as its fingers tore into the mortar to keep itself up despite the rapidly deteriorating ground.
  77. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox uses his telekinesis, casting out his hand and pulling it downwards in an attempt to pull the creature downward to the ground.

  83. 18<28Silvors18> The thing shifts out of the telekinesis, one of its lower hands grabbing the clay on the and throwing it at Gheidjin's eyes.

  87.  18<22GameServ18> 4d3-8+6 = 6
  88.  18<28Silvors18> Gheidjin /barely/ avoids getting mud in her eyes.
  89.  18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox sends a blast of ice shards to push the creature into the clay!

  93.  18<22GameServ18> 4d3-8+10 = 9
  94.  18<28Silvors18> And it was a failure!
  95.  20<TrisSebell>30 The clay turns into mud as Gheidjin dodges the throw. Shifting the sediment and making it move, she tries to create a whirlpool or quicksand effect.
  96.  20<TrisSebell>30 `calc 4d3-8+9
  97.  18<22GameServ18> 4d3-8+9 = 9
  98.  18<28Silvors18> The thing moved, its grip on the bricks helping... but two of its arms sunk beneath. It merely growled, lifting itself up and two of its lower arms getting town at the forearm. It crawled, lunging towards Lennox to grab him.

  102.  18<22GameServ18> 4d3-8+8 = 6
  103.  18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox flies up into the air and flies down, using the force to kick the creature in the chest, knocking it back into the clay.

  108.  18<28Silvors18> (That should be an 8, actually. Lennox fails regardless)
  109.  18<27dragonwielder18> (ye)
  110.  20<TrisSebell>30 "Burn it Lennox! We have no choice!" She had seen him try to divert it or slow it down with ice, but it wasn't running away. She increases the pull of the mud, causing it to suck in what limbs have already been trapped.
  111. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox frowns, but proceeds to do so.
  112. 18<28Silvors18> The thing is holding onto the side of the building like some sort of insect, its already ripped off arms going down into the quick-mud. It condensed like an octopus swimming and lunging at Gheidjin.
  113. 18<28Silvors18> `calc 4d3-8+6
  114. 18<22GameServ18> 4d3-8+6 = 8
  115. 20<TrisSebell>30 At the lunging, she tries to dodge, the dirt, concrete and asphalt around her move...
  116. 20<TrisSebell>30 `calc 4d3-8+5
  117. 18<22GameServ18> 4d3-8+5 = 6
  118. 18<28Silvors18> She doesn't take damage, but one hand from the creature's upper arms go around Gheidjin's wrist.
  119.  18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox picks up a brick and runs over, hitting the arm that is wrapped around Gheidjin, trying to make it let go or chop it off

  126.  18<27dragonwielder18> That was a wring roll
  127.  18<27dragonwielder18> *wrong*
  128.  18<28Silvors18> Just add the modifier to it
  129.  18<27dragonwielder18> 7
  130.  18<28Silvors18> He doesn't manage to knock it off, but he does keep it from tightening.
  131. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox begins to try again, he summons up an ice shard and holds it as a weapon, beginning to stab the arm.
  132. 18<27dragonwielder18> (do I roll yet?)
  133. 20<TrisSebell>30 The sand and dirt in her pocket begins to move along her skin and her odd colored eyes glared at the thing. "I suggest you leave us be...  Vakratunda Mahaakaaya, Suryakotee Sama Prabha
  134. 20<TrisSebell>30 , Nirvighnam kuru mey Deva
  135. 20<TrisSebell>30  ,Sarva kaaryeshu Sarvadaa..." Her pale skin seems coated in stone and thorns soon emerge along her arms and over her knuckles. (Thorn & Stone)

  139. 18<22GameServ18> 4d3-8+8 = 8
  140. 18<28Silvors18> She manages to hit it, knocking off a few more legs from its lower half.

  146. 18<28Silvors18> it puts fire on her, but she sticks her head back and the mud puts out the flames by ripping the affect hair out, showing her bloody scalp.
  147. 18<27dragonwielder18> "IS GROSS."
  148. 20<TrisSebell>30 She attacks with her free hand (how tall is this thing?) Aiming for the attached middle. "Very gross... Worse than Corpse plant!"

  154. 20<TrisSebell>30 (7'2 woman..)
  155.  18<28Silvors18> The thing flung back a little, hitting the wall and then stumbling up. It wobbled and wavered, its eyes on the two of them.
  156.  18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox launches more fireballs.

  170. 20<TrisSebell>30 Now that it was shorter, she moves to flank and hit it while it's occupied with Lennox

  175.  18<28Silvors18> the thing just barely skirts around her punch. She manages to draw blood, but not damage.
  176.  20<TrisSebell>30 ((BRB DOG TIME))
  177.  20<TrisSebell>30 (BAck))
  178.  18<28Silvors18> The thing lunges once more, going to swing at Ghedjin

  197.  18<28Silvors18> and she punches /through/ the thing's chest. It crumbles onto her arm, its legs dangling a little.
  198. 18<27dragonwielder18> "DO I BURN CREATURE?" HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW.
  199. 20<TrisSebell>30 (Is it dead?)
  200. 18<28Silvors18> (It is very dead)
  201. 20<TrisSebell>30 She wondered why was he screaming, and then she dares a glance to him. He looks like a cat with his hackles up. "No.. she is dead." And she pulls away her fist, "Forgive me. I know you must have suffered, but it was either you or us." And as if in some respectful yet morbid manner, she used the thorns now to gently cut away the threads around it's eyelids and mouth before moving her fingers gently over to let the eyes 
  202.  20<TrisSebell>30 finally close.
  203.  18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox now....falls to the ground, letting out a whine.
  204.  18<28Silvors18> The things eyelids had been cut out, it would seem. The stitches were there just to make the eyes appear bigger.
  205.  20<TrisSebell>30 She sighed and pushed the body away from them before turning to Lennox. taking a deep breath she tried to relax a little  to let the armor around her ease away before gingerly touching his back. "Lennox? Are you alright?"
  206.  18<27dragonwielder18> *Whine*
  207.  18<27dragonwielder18> Simple response. He slowly shifts into cat form and curls in the fetal position on the floor.
  208.  20<TrisSebell>30 She brushed her fingers along his turquoise hair, " Change into Kitty form. I will carry you the rest of the way. I can only hope the newscaster is alive somewhere."
  209.  20<TrisSebell>30 She picks him up and cuddles him close to her as she begins to back away from the body, and walk further down the street, looking for any signs of the newscaster or whoever shot at the monster that took her. She makes her way towards the City Hall Silently. If Lennox starts shivering, she tucks the feline under her sweater, between the wool knitted fabric and her under shirt, zippering up her jacket a little to help in 
  210.  20<TrisSebell>30 holding him.
  211.  18<27dragonwielder18> He does start shivering. "Can stay with me tonight? Won't be able to sleep...."
  212.  20<TrisSebell>30 "Come stay in my room when we are done. If the City Hall is abandoned then I shall head home and we cans tay in my room. It feels safer there... to me at least." There were seeds and her well fed plants to protect them. She leaned forwards and kissed the top of his feline head, "You were very brave Lennox.."
  213.  18<27dragonwielder18> "Hope I was good help." He snuggles into her, it's the only thing making him feel safe.
  214. 20<TrisSebell>30 She rubs him through the sweater. "Yes you were." (Silvors- ANything else happening while they walk?)
  215. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox seems satisfied with that. "Have not seen your room before...."
  216. 18<28Silvors18> (Nope)
  217. 20<TrisSebell>30 The walk was eerily silent in a once bustling nightlife. She then makes her way back to the dorm rooms, "I think you will like it. I have plants and my bed is comfortable... and Ganesh is there. He's a Hindu God. Bhaee  sent me a statue of him to me for guidence and protection." Once she had the energy, she began to trot home. Gheidjin keeps Lennox close to keep from bouncing him around.
  218. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox stays as close to her as possible, he's not going anywhere.
  219. 20<TrisSebell>30 Once they were in the Dorms of the school, Gheidjin slowly made it up the stairs and opened the door. The scent of greenery in the air as she shut the door and unzipped her jacket. when he peeks out a side of wall had so many plants in the window and in a central place of honor was a medium statute of a being with an elephant head on a human body sitting on a dais. Lotus blossoms blooming around it and a small jar with 
  220. 20<TrisSebell>30 long since burnt incense in front of it. "I need to bathe and get the dirt off. Will you be okay alone? I can turn on the TV for you?" She had a small flat screen on the opposite wall.
  221. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox nods. "Can watch the tv." He hops onto her bed and curls up on one of the pillows.
  222. 20<TrisSebell>30 She turns on the TV an leaves the remote on the bed for him. As she goes to the shower, whats on is a foreign soap opera with english subtitles. The people were in thin shirts an in beautiful saris. A romantic history story. 
  223. 18<27dragonwielder18> Arreon tilts his head in curiosity as he watches. How interesting.
  224. 20<TrisSebell>30 Comedy, romance and intrigue. Unlike the modern type os romance of today, the romanced couples were fairly discreet in their hand holding, the director making those situations a bold move for them in such a time. By the time Gheidjin comes out, the Uncle finds the romanced pair together and although the man is well off- the Uncle tells the girl's father that the man she loves has two other wives and that she will end up a 
  225. 20<TrisSebell>30 number- and she is far to prcious for that. the girl didn't know of such a thing.. and Gheidjin walks in on this confrontation in a pair of soft pajamas; The girl wanting the man she loved to deny he was already married, and the man keeping silent.
  226. 20<TrisSebell>30 far too precious*
  227. 18<27dragonwielder18> "Strange show....." He scratches his head.
  228. 20<TrisSebell>30 She scratches him behind his ear as she sits down next to him. "It is a historical story. Bhaee got me the extended channels because he was tired of me asking to send copies over here. What do you find strange about it? Is it the man's assistant and the chef he keeps trying to woo? It is a very funny side story."
  229. 18<27dragonwielder18> "Just don't understand all culture sometimes...so much difference in world. So many cultures." If he sounds racist right now, it's easy to tell its by accident.
  230. 20<TrisSebell>30 Well, she's already had one fight with a friend and she was hoping not to have another one. Shifting to her side as she slips under the covers Gheidjin replied, "Yes, there are so many different cultures. Like in India, it's rather frowned upon even today, to have gratuitous displays of affection. It isn't against the law, just frowned upon because it's believed it should be quiet and intimate. See how in certain scenes 
  231. 20<TrisSebell>30 how holding her hand and whispering in her ear as he speaks to her is hidden from those in tha background by the flowers and the trees?" She snuggles in closer to the feline, " But you know Lennox, having cultural differences is what give spice to life."
  232. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox gives a nod. "Why is it believed that it should be quiet and intimate?" He questions as he snuggles in return.
  233. 23* Karaoke (Karaoke@2602:304:b01d:zynz:ojhr:klxv:kskj:oztg23) has joined
  234. 20<TrisSebell>30 "Well.." She thinks while stroking his soft fur around his neck as he snuggles closer. "There is a story. An old sage was asked why people shout when they are fighting. The sage replied that when people love each other and they're together, their hearts are so close that they can hear whispers. They don't need to loud because their words reasily. But when they're fighting and arguing, their hearts go further and further 
  235.  20<TrisSebell>30 apart and so they cannot hear and forget to listen." She was quiet for a moment, not sure if it explained it any better. "It's just been believed that being loud - and by loud I mean heavy public displays of affection, like certain kisses.. and holdings.. even cuddling in public as if in a park while you're unmarried, it's  kind of  viewed like it's going to last. There is no grace to it, just a physical display."
  236. 20<TrisSebell>30 They don't need to be loud because their words reach their hearts easily.*
  237. 20<TrisSebell>30 Viewed like it's not going to last. Like a flash of sudden light*
  238. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox nods with understanding. "Do understand. But would still prefer to hold the hand of the one that I care for, in public or not." He shrugs his kitty shoulders.
  239. 20<TrisSebell>30 "Well, in this story, She is like a princess and it is from very long ago, at least 200 years is the setting. Now a days in India if you are seriously dating, hand holding isn't frowned on." And she giggled, "That and you are miles away from India, Lennox." 
  240. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox purrs, his version of laughter when in cat form. "Plus, in Canada. Hand holding keeps hands warm, yes?" He jokes.
  241. 20<TrisSebell>30 "So can gloves and mittens, mister kitten." She teases him. "Is that the only reason you hold my hand?"
  242. 18<27dragonwielder18> "Can ......assure there is more reason than that." He says, with a bit of embarrassment.
  243. 20<TrisSebell>30 "Oh.." Well, she felt a little embarrassed herself, hearing that. "So, does ice and fire magic wear you out in any way? Sometimes making the earth alter or the plants grow tires me out." She admitted.
  244. 24* DarnellJermaine has quit (Read error: Operation timed out)
  245. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox gives a nod. "Does wear me out a bit. Wastes magical energy. Unable to conjure wings right now."
  246. 20<TrisSebell>30 She stifled a yawn and placed the Tv to go into sleep mode in a few minutes. Right now there was a cultural show, showing cultural music from Japan. "I didn't mind carrying you. You seemed to have been shaking pretty badly. I was worried that you had over used your energy and it made you cold."
  247. 18<27dragonwielder18> "Was not shaking from cold...."
  248. 20<TrisSebell>30 She thought for a moment and snuggled close, her face touching his fur. It felt so soft! "Adrenaline?"
  249. 18<27dragonwielder18> "Was....mixture of emotions...do not know." He snuggles his cheek against hers a bit.
  250. 20<TrisSebell>30 "Mmm, I see." She smiles a bit as he brushes his cheek against hers. "Many emotions you went through today. I know you didn't want to kill it, I didn't either but it wasn't slowing down and it wasn't running away. Any process of thought about survival had been tortured away."
  251. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox nods. "Terror in its eyes...... Sends shivers..."
  252. 20<TrisSebell>30 "It is gone and done with." She brushes his ears gently, "And should those eyes disturb your sleep, know I am right here beside you."
  253. 18<27dragonwielder18> He nods. "Your presences soothes...."
  254. 20<TrisSebell>30 "Yours as well.." She replied sleepily, still stroking his fur; her fingers slowing down a little.
  255. 18<27dragonwielder18> "Are tired?"
  256. 20<TrisSebell>30 "Mhm.. tired.. you?"
  257. 18<27dragonwielder18> "Am tired. Snuggling up right here and sleeping."
  258. 20<TrisSebell>30 She yawn, "Good.. worried about you when it went after you, Lenn.." a deep sigh, "Good night, Lennox.."
  259. 18<27dragonwielder18> Lennox nods, daring to give her cheek a small lick. "Goodnight, Gheidjin."
  260. 20<TrisSebell>30 a soft smile quirked slightly as she fell asleep close to Lennox, sleeping very deeply.
  261. 20<TrisSebell>30 End Scene: The first excursion.
