Ether Works' Altera (IC)

[Icaelus]

Mel pursed her lips as the lizard didn't light up like a neon sign. Guess some NPCs just wanted to talk and not kill them on sight, huh? Well, she wasn't gonna complain about that change..
The girl looked to Severine, listening with interest as the other girl traced the mosaics with her fingers, asking what lay behind the doors..and also the location of the boss, undoubtedly Arcanos himself. Mel smiled to herself. Severine wasn't one to mince words, was she? Her attention grudgingly returned to the creature as it explained its previous words, her interest torn between her new friend and the importance of whatever the thing was called saying at the moment. She forced herself to listen to the raspy voice as it explained itself. The path of wisdom and the path of the fool were open to their choice.
And indeed, the path of wisdom was an weird one. Pay obeisance to Arcanos and be rewarded. Challenge him and..not die but suffer something else? Mel frowned as what the creature seemed to be suggesting became clearer. Yeah, that wasn't going to happen here.

Disgusting.
Mel shook her head, keeping her thoughts to herself. As much as everyone had the freedom of speech, they also had the freedom to react aggressively to said speech. Which Melancholia certainly didn't want right now.
The Fae glanced towards Severine as she once again proved herself to be a person that got right to the point. Well, that was said and done. Straight to the point, no bullshit or beating about the bush. Emma Hayes in a nutshell.
"Sounds good to me."
Adellia grinned as she trailed after Emma when she gestured towards her, already yanking the door open to the kitchens. She left the creature behind, her silken dress sweeping after her as she hurried after Severine, lantern raised as per norm..

[Reapergod36]

Vara walked past the boring, generic man. Seeing as he had nothing important to say, she would progress past the annoying man, the idea of killing him made her clench her fists. As it was very prudent in her mind.

[Noosie]

The Dark Knight lets out a low whistle at Kayleesa's copy of the map, obviously impressed by the extent of the vanguard's scouting and cartography. This is repeated when the angelic warrior then proceeds to replicate that map, in some detail, without using the other copy for reference most of the time. While not the most intellectual of persons, she still appreciates the difficulty of such a feat. Maybe the feather-chick would be more useful as an asset than a bounty, after all. Accepting her logbook and pencil with a nod and a murmured "Thank you", Riley pockets her new map and takes another moment to look over the less sinister knight.

After the monk's commentary Raji speaks up again, somewhat hesitant for once in her life. "If'n you ever need some help, just, y'know, get a'hold ah' me. I mean, if it's somethin' big I might charge you an' all, but this'es a quality piece o' work. Feels wrong not ta' give somthin' back, even if''s just a promise."

[Inferi]

The response to the map was a lot more positive than Kayleesa had expected. That was something that came naturally to her, including the ability to remember it all so clearly, and she didn’t really think that it was such a big deal. Of course she did know that it was difficult to make one as she did, but at the same time she hadn’t thought anyone would be that impressed. A wide smile cracked her face, showing clearly that the praise what she had done was getting was making her happy. She really liked it when something she had done was received like this, just because it was making other people happy. Everyone deserved to feel happy, and if she just liked helping contribute to that.

“Th-thanks!” she said enthusiastically, stumbling through the first word due to her surprise at how it had been received. “You really think so?” The question was directed at Shima, as Kayleesa hadn’t thought that such a trait was really all that important. She saw it as a hobby more than anything else, just something that she liked to do that could maybe be of assistance to people on occasion. It had never really been anything important in the real world, but maybe it would be more valuable to both her and other people here. That was a good thing, as far as she was concerned, mainly because she never even considered the fact that some people might want to have something like a bounty on her because of it.

The continuing positive response actually made Kay unable to speak for a second. The last thing she expected was the dark knight to offer her assistance in the future. It seemed to her like that was actually fairly significant, considering what she had seen of the individual so far as well as given the hesitation with which the knight spoke the words. It even made her a little less intimidated of the knight, although that feeling was still impossible to banish completely. She meant no offense to the knight, but the whole persona emanating from her was just a little too ‘dark’ for Kayleesa to really feel comfortable. Still, maybe stereotypes in the game weren’t completely true when it came to player characters and the individuals that controlled them.

“Thank you. I really appreciate that.” she said seriously, extending her non-gauntleted hand to the knight. For her to offer something back when Kayleesa hadn’t and wasn’t planning on asking for anything was very…courteous. It was something the angel would do, and something she didn’t expect most other people to do. She was never bothered when they didn’t, since she hadn’t expected anything, but getting something back was always a nice surprise.

“I’m Kayleesa.” she said as she offered the handshake. If there was going to be a promise like that, it only seemed fair that they knew each other’s names. That was how she felt, at least, and hoped that the knight felt at least a little the same way. If not, well, Kay would be a little disappointed and also unsure of how to actually find the person when she needed help, but if that was how it was she would just shrug it off and continue on with what she was doing.

[Noosie]

Cringing internally at the angel's enthusiasm, Raji reaches out to take the proffered hand, her armor's blackened metal cold against the less protected skin of the bright warrior. Embarrassing though it might be to owe the goody even a small favor, paying back all of her debts was something Riley prided herself on. She was well aware that she was a bit coarse, and that her anger issues were rather serious, but that didn't mean she had to be a dick about it.

"Raji. Good teh meet yah." With a grin less forced than it began, Riley shakes Kayleesa's hand twice before releasing it. She then stands back slightly, uncertain of what to say next, if anything at all. Why did being polite have to be so much freakin' harder than just beating what she wanted out of people?

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

"You don't understand!"
She said very upset that Torgo wished to keep her there
"My life span might be that of a hundred years but not the man who sent me here" she began to look disconsolate
"He was very old and reaching the end of his time, I took this job because it might be the last act of kindness he might receive from anyone before he passed"

[Inferi]

Raji, huh? Kayleesa made sure to add that to her mental list of people as she released the dark knight’s hand, taking her gauntlet and sliding it back on as she took a step back. The cold metal of Raji’s gauntlet had felt strange against her uncovered skin, that being the first time she had shaken hands with anyone while she wasn’t wearing her own gauntlets. Come to think of it, had she ever really taken them off? As they were slightly different from normal ones, and much more comfortable for whatever reason, Kay barely even noticed they were on and, to her recollection, had only removed them when she was sleeping in the Vanguard HQ. It was nice to have a room and a bed there reserved for her, considering that was where she lived in this world, but since she was rarely there she had mentioned to Jarvin that it might be a good idea to turn it into something else. He had just shaken his head and told her that it was her room and would remain that way. They had enough rooms for everything they needed, and having a place to stay was a good thing.

As for being polite, Raji was in luck right now. Kayleesa didn’t expect anything else to be said, since it seemed everything necessary was done with. It didn’t help that she couldn’t think up anything else to say, either. As the question to Shima had been more of an acknowledgment than a question, she didn’t feel like a response from the martial artist was something she should wait for. All that was left now was for all of them to continue on their ways. She had business at the Rift, and since Shima was occupied and she wasn’t going to try and make Raji go with her for no logical reason, the angel figured this was as good of a place as any to take off from. The one advantage to going alone meant she could fly, which would help quite a bit in getting there in a decent span of time. Even with that, though, she couldn’t help but wish someone else was going too. Being accompanied by friends always made things better, even it if meant taking longer to get where you wanted to go.

“Well, I suppose I should get going. It was nice to meet both of you.” she said, smiling once again at them, which might bring up the question: did Kayleesa ever stop smiling? That question was slightly amusing, actually, since a photographer at school had thought something along those lines during one of her pictures and had asked her if she would “Smile a little less, please?” Even though that was several years in the past, it was still a source of much amusement to her friends, who brought it up all the time. Ashley didn’t mind, though; if all they could make fun of her for was being happy, her life was pretty damn good.

Walking out into the middle of the street and checking to make sure nobody was right nearby, Kayleesa spread her wings and began to flap, lifting herself off the ground after a few beats. Thankfully, she was facing down a fairly empty street, so the gusts of wind that came from the flapping of her wings didn’t cause any major problems. If she had been vindictive, she would probably have taken off right in front of the merchant that had insulted her and blasted his stall with wind gusts. Thankfully for him, she was too far away for it to have any effect, or she would have certainly angled some his way.

Waving goodbye to Shima and Raji as she took off, Kay soon turned her gaze upwards, to the skies above. She continued in a line upwards until she was several hundred feet above the town before halting her ascent and hovering there, withdrawing her own map and looking at it for a moment before nodding and placing it away. The Rift wasn’t somewhere that she had gone much, so the location was just barely marked and lacked any real notes. Still, knowing the location was enough, and as soon as she had placed it away the angel took off again, heading through the air and towards the battleground that she could just barely make out in the distance. The clear skies made for phenomenal vision, allowing her to see for miles and miles in every direction, and she checked them constantly as she travelled for any flying creatures that might be a possible issue. Avoiding such creatures was preferable, but some wouldn’t take no for an answer. Hopefully there would be none, and she could just continue her travel to the Rift without a problem.

The Market Ward

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The potion merchant gives another nod of his head to Shima and then gives her a friendly smile, "Consider it done. I thank you for your business." He reaches down under the counter this time, fumbles around a little bit, and after the clanking of some glass against glass, finally finds the rest of his stock. He draws up the four potion vials that the monk has ordered and places them on the counter for her to collect.

The by now familiar scene of the market unfolds before Greg. The potion merchant seems to be doing a brisk business, and an adventurer's supply store has a shield mage shopping there. The original potion merchant that so offended Shima and Kayleesa has vacated the Ward by now.

(Raji may now add a Rendle Area map to her equipment list)

Arcanos' Keep

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The yellow skinned creature grits it's teeth when she makes her threat, starting to crouch low and prepare to dodge when her runes begin to glow. Yes, it seems to recognize signs of magical power. At least it didn't seem to think it could simply trump her. When she doesn't fire off the spells, the creature tells her, "Interesting enough, but only if you can prove it. Unless you can best his apprentices, a challenge with any amature spellcaster to walk the realms is a waste of the Master's time. Find a keystone and it will allow you to transcend the barrier to the second floor. If you wish to challenge Arcanos, locate the keystones to ascend or provide sufficient reason he should care." When the creature sees the two spellcasters head off towards the kitchens, the creature simply smiles to itself. It then hops back down to it's spot behind the desk once more.

The door to the kitchens opened without protest and washed Severine with a wave of oppressive, humid heat. The fires were blazing and food was on the boil. The kitchens were an extensive operation, something akin to a hotel's kitchen, except triple the size. Several cooking counters were set up along the room, and creatures were at work. Some breed of goblins was crewing this particular galley. Several of the tables had huge dead animals slapped down on top of them, goblin carvers standing on the table with wicked knives, butchering the deceased beasts. On one of the tables, vegetables were piled high, up to a full meter as goblins chopped carrots, ontions, nappa cabbage, and other vegetables in assembly line like fashion. Supervising it all was another goblin. This one however was tall, taller than an orc, and as wide as it was tall. Undoubtably filling another stereotype, this goblin chef probably ate more than his fair share of the ingredients. He carried around a rolling pin made of marble with surprising ease.

Five other exits were visible through the room, leading elsewhere through the kitchens area. Mel's lantern of course illuminated the dozen and a half kitchen workers that were milling about the kitchen in their various tasks, telling her that they were potential combatants if provoked. For now, everyone seemed too engrossed in their tasks to care that the two women had entered the kitchen.

The Briar Wood

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Vara breezed past the man in the woods swiftly, and it left him reaching a hand up to scratch his head in thought. "Strange one, that one." He then gave a shrug of his shoulders and returned to his task.

Her controlled, agressive walk through the woods brought Vara through it's darkened paths. As she was passing between some of the larger bushes with their lethal thorn walls, she could hear a rustling from above. Long armed gremlins hung down off of the tree branches. Their flesh was a mottled green and brown, helping them cameoflage with the branches. Their arms were longer than most humanoids, much like a monkeys, giving them great climbing abilities. The creatures also carried crude spears over their shoulders, easy to grab should they come to fight. For now, they simply appear overhead and start barring their teeth at Vara, an aggressive display. It gave her time to count, three in total.

Lucy, in her alternate realm, seems to be having some difficulty with her new host, Torgo. Much as she seems upset, he seems to be only slightly concerned with that fact. "If he is so old, he has very little to suffer through. Death should soon claim him. However, I suspect that will not be the outcome you are so firmly interested in achieving. You would put this old man's needs before mine, and call it justice." He shakes his head slowly, as chiding this mortal being for it's youthful foolishness. However, then he tells the mage, "I will consider sending you back, but only if you can also assist me. I am quite.... bored. This clearing is my world. It has been for centuries, and it will be for centuries more. If you can entertain me, I shall let you go about this man's task, and shall even bestow my blessing upon you." He pauses a moment, to see if she will be appropriately grateful for this chance. Regardless of her reaction though, he does press on to tell her, "I will remind you though that I am quite old, and I have seen and heard much of this world. You must give me something to dwell upon, to consider, to remember, to savour. Something appropriately wonderous, facinating, or perhaps pleasurable. If you can give me an experience that I will be satisfied with for some time, I shall release you to the mortal world once more."

Outskirts of Rendle

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

On the edge of town, Salora is able to find a clothier after a little bit of scouting. Most of the people on the edges of town are simple residents, but in amongst those houses is a building that has a sign out front identifying it as Annise's Fine Clothier. The woman who owns the shop seems to be leaning in the doorframe of the building, in fact. She certainly looks like she belongs in this game. Her long blonde hair is waist length, shining brightly wherever it catches the light. She fills out her rather low cut thin white cotton top with her ample breasts, matching Salora's own EE cup size. Her skirt drops only to about knee length and is pleated, seeming a touch reminiscent of a japanese school girl's skirt. Knee high socks and some dainty shoes round out the outfit.

When the blonde sees Salora approaching, she takes a quick look up and down the street, to make sure nobody else is watching. Then, once she's sure, she waves over to the elf and says, "Come on over here, let's get you inside. I've never seen a girl more in need of my services, and we'd better get you out of sight before anyone notices!"

The Gamboler's Ace

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Raven chuckles at the clarification from Jo and tells her, "If they were free, you'd be sorely undervaluing yourself." He takes a look down at the paper and opens it up to take a read, and his eyes read it with the look of someone discovering surprising and delightful. "Wow, so it is true..." He then looks up at Jo again, smiling at her now bashfully. "Uh, yeah, I'd definitely like to take a room. I... I like the look of the fourth and fifth there, I'd definitely, definitely, like those." He then takes a look around the room, as though anxious of being overheard before he turns back to Jo and asks, "I... I like you, and I want it to be you, but... If I were to come back some time, do the Blonde, the Red Head, and the Brunette, ah, massage too?"

Jo had inherited those NPC servers when she'd taken over the Gamboler's Ace, and thus far the girls hadn't done any of those services. At least not that Jo was aware of. Maybe they could be convinced though, if she was interested in cutting them in on her side business. Might mean a little less customers for her, but she could certainly collect a percentage of their earnings if she did it right, and maybe it would let her offer a two on one service to her list of offers.

Emerald Falls (Timth)

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Timth had been forced to dodge many monsters to make his way to Emerald Falls. It was a big gamble, slipping ahead to the next region. Being solo just made it an even bigger one. Quest levels started at 6 and higher in this town. The experience would roll in beautifully if he could just get some kills, but until then, he was as fragile as a paper doll at a bonfire. He'd done it though, bursting through the last brushes of Briar Wood and arriving on the outskirts of Emerald Falls.

Emerald Falls is a small community, about one thousand people in total. It exists next to a long, shallow waterfall where river water rushes over an intense rapids made up of emerald green rocks. The rocks weren't truly emeralds, but the colour was right and gave the river it's beautiful hue. Back in the Beta, most of the quests in Emerald Falls seemed to revolve around bandits and the like. Everyone thought the last boss of the quest chain was going to be a bandit boss, but nobody got to them before the Beta ended.

Now was really the big choice for Timth. He could find the local tavern and see if he could schmooze for a quest, or he could seek out the Church shrine in town and bind himself to this new location. While there would be quests available through town, the tavern was always the hot spot for these kinds of things. The Church Shrine would ensure that if Timth was defeated by monsters, once he respawned he would do so in Emerald Falls, rather than back at Rendle.

[Sortaix]

Salora ran out of Misty Vale as fast as she could go, trying to not be seen. She was now thoroughly embarrassed at having to run around covering her now insanely huge breasts with her hands. Her face was bright red with both embarrassment and anger, as she now realized why the potion salesman would be willing to sell her the potion for so cheap. It was just a perverted trick from some jerk. He was probably one of those..what were they called...Gankers. That's right, he must have been one of those Gankers that like to cause trouble for people, just to get his kicks. Well, Sierra made a mental note to put an arrow in that guy the next time she saw him, but first she had to find a new top.
Salora wandered around the outskirts of town trying to look for a way to get to a clothing store, and not be seen. This task however, proved to be more difficult than she thought. After spending several minutes wandering around the town, Salora did see a store on the outskirts of town with a blonde woman standing in the doorway. She noticed Salora as well and was kind enough to wave her over, after ensuring that no one was able to see her. Salora didn't need any convincing, as she wanted something to cover herself with, and she quickly ran over to the store where the other woman was.

[daxtinator396]

Dax nods at the spell. That was incredibly useful to him! He was going to buy it them,"Alright good sir how much for this spell? I think I'll pass on the heraldry. Maybe later when I have more renown. After all right now k haven't done anything worth heralding!" He said with a little laugh.As he looked about the market though he spotted one of the people he was going to be fighting with to take down the bounty,"Hey! Over here!" He called.

[joeyjoey61297]

Jo walked up the stairs to the room and waved Raven to follow. She had yelled to the Waitresses to Take over. Jo walked over to the bed and sat down she looked at Raven and said"I'll see what I can do about my employees but for now why don't you focus on me."
She said as she unbuttoned her shirt, still looking at him she started to play with her shirt throwing it over to the ground leaving only her Lingerie. She wasn't wearing a bra so you could see her breasts as they bounced about being moved by the shirt as it came off. She then looked over to Raven and said so you only wanted the Fourth and fifth. Well okay but I must warn you it wont be just a one shot thing with me okay so be ready. Joe said that with a flirty soft voice but in a tone that was almost aggressive which was way out of character for her she was always sweet and caring but not in this particular business that she has.



OOC(Oro would you like to take the reigns from here I kind of suck at Rping this type of shit, if not than I can try )

[Grape Me]

Timth smiled, "finally." It had been quite a hard journey. The monsters on the way made it difficult, but with skill and speed, he was able to dodge and escape most conflicts presented to him early on. He understood that now he was at Emerald Falls he would have to wait till level 6 to get any good quests in the area, but it was worth it. Timth could spend time fighting and leveling up to reach 6. He took a deep breath and started walking down to the Church Shrine, that would be his first stop.

Timth had been to Emerald Falls before during the beta, he liked it. The place was mostly peaceful besides some of the nearby bandit NPCs. The colors and glistening waters of the river were truly a sight to see. It's amazing how much detail and beauty, can be put into a game, it felt so real.

Heading over to the Church Shrine, Timth would bind himself to the location. He knew if he was slain it would send him back at Rendle, and making another weeks worth journey out here would set him far back.

[Reapergod36]

Looking at the gremlins Vara would pause for a moment. Considering how aggressive they already were, she debated whipping the ground to get them to behave. But she had to remember, she was not as powerful as she was in her realm. She would need to be careful, and clever... She would look down to the ground just in front of her, offering a curtsy to them. Then she would proceed to walk away, not daring to turn her back to them or look up at their faces.

[napsii]

"Yeah, whatever, asshole..." mumbled Severine under her breath as the kitchen doors clicked shut behind her and Mel.

The wall of humidity that met her was like stepping into a wet and dabby furnace. Emma had never adjusted well to the weather. On the Hayes' vacation to Cancun two years ago, she'd spent most of her time soaking away the heat in the resort pool or trying to drown it in cold drinks. She murmured some expletives as she tugged at her robe collar, glad that the ornate article didn't hang heavy on her body. She paused a few steps after the door, taking in the kitchens through the fog of humidity a safe distance from the tables of glinting steely knives and industrious goblins that manned the stations. Another one of Emma's pet peeves were knives: they never sat right in her palm and she usually ended up dropping them or nicking herself. Even though fires were raging in the stoves and cooked dishes were radiating heat, the aqua-haired mage was shivering; the rhythmic orchestra of knives and utensils coming down upon the frighteningly large carcasses made her grit her teeth. Among all this, the last thing she noticed about the intimidating machine of the kitchen was the smell of food. The aurora of scents were hard to pick out from one another, but she could recognize hints and traces of spices and ingredients her grandma cooked with. There were others she didn't recognize, and a handful that didn't seem like they were from Earth at all. Her nose crinkled. The intensity and sharpness of various sensations in Altera were sickening.

As far as places to look for "keystones", went, she didn't think of this as one of them. Although she could wield many types of magic, she had never been able to pick up speechcraft as she would a sword or a spell; simply put, even she knew she couldn't talk her way into Arcanos' room, so the keystones it was. Not that she even wanted to meet him, yet! There were better ways to spend her time in this tower, and she wouldn't even think about going to confront him without exploring what else it had to offer... and leveling up a bit. For those very reasons, she couldn't dismiss the kitchens. She took a step, but the loud keen of a butcher knife cutting through bone made her shirk. She immediately collected herself, though, and carefully began to walk while avoiding the goblin workers. To be honest, there was something about a bunch of greasy goblins with yellowed, crooked fingernails and ugly faces being present that made the tornado of food far less appetizing. Not that Sev would have eaten any of it, anyway; none of it was something good, like a pizza or a hamburger or a milkshake. Ah, milkshakes! Her favorite. She blinked, trying to stay focused. The light from Mel's lantern stated the obvious, but Sev had no intention to blow up these kitchen workers unless they picked a fight. The tall, orc-like goblin at the other end of the kitchen looked like a dick, though. No doubt the rolling pin. He easily towered over Severine, whose short character model just barely broke 5'0" in height.

The real Emma was just as short, and having not wanted to adjust to a new body, she'd modeled Severine the Mage after herself minus some physical flaws. And with a better chest. Past him, though, she was eyeing the five doors which presumably led deeper into the kitchens. Emma's sister, Dahlia, would have liked to cook in here, but at the moment the kitchen's complexity had Sev wondering what strange things lay behind each door. She carefully skirted the goblins (hopefully with Mel in tow) as she passed and watched the floor carefully. Getting nicked by a knife would suck, but slipping on a patch of oil would, as well. Walking around, she saw nothing of interest and so oriented herself toward the array of five doors. She paused and looked to Mel.

"There's nothing in here and five doors beyond. Let's split up so we can find stuff faster." she suggested immediately. She wasn't worried about getting caught alone; having leveled up, she felt capable. Mel was a different story, no doubt, but the Fae would just have to deal with it. The aqua-haired mage looked across the five doors. There was no real way to tell what was behind each, except...

She looked over at the tall goblin with the rolling pin. He was in charge, no doubt.

"Hey, rolling pin guy! What's behind each of these doors?" she called to him over the ruckus of the kitchen, straightforward as was possible.

The Rift

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Kayleesa was able to quickly leave the confines of Rendle behind and get out into the open air. In the area around Rendle, there didn't seem to be much in the way of aerial monsters. The game designers had decided they proved a complication and wanted to save them for after the player had a chance to get some experience under their belt. She'd run into flying creatures, but not around Rendle.

It took nearly an hour for Kayleesa to reach the site of the Rift, though it was plainly visible even from the walls of Rendle itself. The Rift was a dark portal that literally looked like a rip in time. The tear was widest at the ground, where it looked almost like someone had grabbed the pages of reality and tore them in half, creating a rip that towered sixty feet into the air. At it's base, the rift was thirty feet wide at most, though hard to tell without actually getting a chance to get to it and check. To do that, the angel would have to fly in nice and close, exposing her to the dangers of both enemy ranged combattants and flying monsters. The ground itself near the Rift was deformed to show it's dimension's influence pouring into this one. From the rip, lines of deformation shot out like the veins on a leaf or animal. The 'veins' had the appearance of deep grey craggy rock, a marked difference from the grasslands that otherwise would be there.

Five hundred meters from the Rift was the Church encampment. The encampment was surrounded by wooden palisade walls that had been erected to protect the camp itself. Archers were posted on platforms atop the wall to provide defense and a good view of the enemy. The Church encampment was military style tents, white coverings arranged row upon row. The Church Forces here looked to number in the hundreds. Even as she flew in to approach, she could see battle occuring in the neutral grounds between the Church camp and the Rift. Spells were flashing and steel was crashing as soldiers battled all manner of creatures.

If Kayleesa were to simply dive in, no doubt the Church soldiers would not mind an extra sword. However, if she wanted to be a part of the more organized effort, it was customary to meet with the battle force commander, who could be found amongst the tents and near the palisade wall.

Outskirts of Rendle

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The blonde woman ushers Salora inside of the building without delay, then flips a sign on the front door from open to closed. Looks like the pair of chesty blondes would have some privacy while they tended to Salora's wardrobe emergency. When Salora got inside, she found that the shop itself was rather casual. The front room looked most like an average household, this room being the dining room and living room. Family portraits were on display on the stairs that led up to the second floor. The floor was covered with a throw rug for warmth.

Once inside, the blonde woman picks up a leather bracelet, a rather thick one, perhaps two inches across for it's band. Attached to it, on a ring, was a length of rather hefty leather string. As she gathered up the string, she eyed Salora. "My my, you really did blow out your top. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to make you something with a bit more room in your bust." She gives the elf a wink as she steps in closer to her, "I'll need to get some measurements I guess." She steps on in behind Salora, her hands sliding down to rest on her hips to hold her steady while the seamstress gets into position. Salora can feel her chin rest upon the elf's shoulder while she stares down at the archer's now ample breasts. "Oh wow... Okay, I'm going to need to have you clasp your hands behind your back here. I need to see how far your range of movement might arch these beauties out. Oh, how do you like them?"

The tall merchant that Dax is speaking with forces a smile, telling the shield mage, "Very well then, though I would have thought the point of having the heraldry would be to display it whilst doing the action requiring heralding, thus associating yourself with the event. However, I am not the adventurer, so far be it for me to tell you how to proceed. The price of the spell is two gold pieces, if you would care to possess it."

The Gamboler's Ace

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Brunette gives a smile and a nod to Jo as she is told to take over, "No worries hon, we've got you covered." Raven follows Jo up the stairs rather obediently, worried he'll step out of line and dispel this whole too good to be true scenario.

In their room, Raven stares in wonder while he watches Jo strip off her top. His eyes are hypnotised by the bounce of her breasts. "Oh wow..." He however shakes himself when he hears Jo council him about his purchases. "Uh yeah, I didn't figure I was buying you forever. Kinda assumed that each service was for until I... uh... finished... and the all night would be what it'd take to keep you around after that." Once he's said that, he then looks down at his belt and his fingers fumble with that a little bit, unbuckling it and then pushing his pants down. It's plain to Jo at that point that he's eager for this, very eager from the way his hard cock is now standing up at attention and pointed right at her.

Though not fully confident in what he's supposed to do, Raven simply thinks back to the porn videos he'd watched in the real world. It at least gave him a starting point. Though he was hoping it would be way better. He brings a hand down and runs it through her long, dark hair, then cups her head from behind to draw her forward towards his erect cock, aiming it to meet her lips as he pulls her forward.

(OOC : I'm happy to try and take the lead, I can certainly have Raven know what he wants and all that, though I'd rather not run too much of your character for you, if that's alright. Having a writing partner for this is what makes this different from me just writing some sexy fiction and posting it on the forums for everyone to read. If there is something in particular you want me to handle or something like that, do feel free to message me, I love getting direct feedback from any of you about how you want this game to interact with your character.)

Emerald Falls

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The Church Shrine was located just off of the center of the village. It was a small, one room affair, almost more of a shack than a proper building. It served the needs of the community though. Inside, Timth found the Star monument, the usual statue of dedication to all the Gods. It looked like a shooting star flying through the heavens with it's firey tail stretched out below it. The fire of the comet was the stand that held the stone that was the comet itself up to shoulder height. Inside, the shrine was tended to by a very attractive young woman wearing a nun habit. Though the deep blue robe was perfectly covering, it did fit her very shapely body well enough that there could be no doubt about how good she'd look nude. She smiles a soft smile to Timth as he enters, "Good day, traveller. Welcome to our shrine."

The Briar Wood

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Though it must be galling to the demon woman, she offers up a sign of obesiance to the gremlins. Their displays of agression and claiming their territory is met with a down cast gaze and an effort to skirt their territory. (Charm roll, 1d8+0=8! Monsters appeased!) Her body language and actions have told the Gremlins that their territory is secure, and it seems today they are not hungry enough or horny enough to push for a fight. The demon woman is allowed on her way. Once she is clear of the fight scene, her character is awarded a point of experience. Looks like a direct fight isn't the only way to progress in this game!

Once past the gremlins, Vera again plunges into the darkness of the forest. She hears the sounds of more creatures moving about, though none of them move in her direction. She can even hear the howls of wolves, though there is something foul and unnatural about their cries. Vera finds herself soon at the edge of Briar Wood, standing on the edge of the dark forest and in view of the city of Rendle.

Arcanos' Keep

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

When Severine hails the more than ample sized goblin head cook, the creature looks over at ther. It's eyes hadn't grown with the rest of it's body, small and beady looking as they stared out over fat cheeks at her. The creature took a large breath in through it's mouth, as though building up to the effort of having to interact, then lets that breath out through it's nose in an irritated snort. It begins to walk over towards the mage, telling her as he lumbers towards her, "What in the bloody hells do you think? We're in the kitchens, mage whelpling, do you think we just conjure this food up out of nowhere?" As the creature finishes up it's rather derogatory answer, it has reached Severine and leans down towards her, to bring it's eyes down to her level, fixing her with a rather sour look.

Salora quickly happily rushed inside the store, quite happy at being out of sight. She did take time to notice the shop, that was apparently in the womans' house. Well, that would make sense if she didn't have the money to have an actual "shop" building to have it in your house. Salora didn't really look to closely at the photos on the wall, as she was a little embarrassed at the other womans remark about her top getting torn. Salora blushed a little red at the remark, but she was still happy about finally getting something to cover herself with.
"Yes, I certainly did. I took what I thought was a potion to buff my health, but instead it buffed my breasts. I can't believe someone would play a trick like this. Well, yeah I can actually, I just never would have thought of something like this."
Salora was alright, as the woman pulled out, what appeared to be a piece of string to measure her with, though she had to pull her hands down to expose her breasts, now allowing Salora to fully appreciate how big they had actually become. She blushed a little more red at the thought, but recovered her thoughts, when she felt the seamstress place her chin on her shoulder. Salora also placed her hands as the woman requested, though she blushed thoroughly red with embarrassment when the woman asked her how she liked her new bust.
"How do I like them? This is the product of some pervert playing a trick on me, so he can sit around and giggle about this. I can't imagine what kind of problems these things might present for me. I just hope they don't through off my balance when I shoot my arrows, and I hope I don't have to do much tunnel crawling, I'll never fit with these things, not to mention, how bad the men are probably going to perv at me now. These things are going to be a lot of trouble, I can tell already."

Timth entered the poorly built Church, seeing both the shrine and attractive nun. The shrine had an interesting design, slightly different then it was in the beta. That wasn't what had his attention however, the priestess did. Her blue robe covered body was quite the sight. He couldn't help but to feel a little warmer and slightly turned on by her body. Timth had been running through the forest for sometime, not seeing another player or having time to... "pleasure" himself for a whole week. Even though the appearance of this girl made him slightly horny, he would try to remain professional.

"Good day to you as well," he replied with a polite smile. "I came here to bind myself to this location. Could you please help me with that?"

Jo is pulled in by his hands and directed towards this somewhat large cock and she opened her mouth so that she could gently stroke the cock with her tongue and start to work it. It wasn't long after she twirled her tongue around the tip that some pre-cum had started to drip out, when it did she started to lick it just at the tip to get the juices and she poked the hole on the tip with her tongue to try to get a reaction and at that point she slowly started to prod the tip by sucking on it then releasing it, giving it some time by letting him enjoy himself before she started to suck on it she pulled back and slowly started to jerk it with two hands, from the base to the head she slowly rubbed it looking up at him as he still released a little precum she whispered in a teasing tone"Do you like this hmm? Is it your first?"
Saying that she got back to work putting the tip and more in her mouth she started to go in and out with it not realizing how big it was until it was in her mouth she only got a little more than half way on it before it was poking the back of her throat; When it did her eyes exploded in surprise that this guy was holding such the sword. As she went in on the she teasingly played with his balls, with one hand she was cupping his balls and moving them around in a backandfourth motion as she did that she had her other hand on the base of his dick and stroked it as she went in and out on it gasping for some air, as it poked at her throat; When she kept at it she noticed his dick grew a little and she noticed also that his hands on the back of her head grew a little more firm pulling her in more, this was making her coke in a sense but she didn't fight it his cock was balls deep in her throat she was deepthroating this 16 inch behemoth. releasing her hand from his balls and from his dick she put them on her legs trying to pull away to breathe for air but raven doesn't realize what he is doing because he most likely was new at it so what she had to do was try to take little breathes through her nose. As she went out about i a inch or two before her slammed her against his crotch again and again for about 5 times his dick kept growing in girth as this happened and with the last slam she was held there against his dick and it was bulging so much that if you looked at her throat it would be sticking out showing the penis inside. Now Jo's hands were playing with her pussy for she was getting excited since he held the reigns to her head she just let him take over from there and played with her clit under her dress of her see through pink lingerie.

Vara looked to progress past the edge of the forest. The unnatural cries would be comforting, if she wasn't in such a strange land. She sighed and tried to relax; making her way to the city. She thought about how the city would take her appearance in this world. She stopped about half way to the city, considering her options. Despite how she acted, she believed that the humans would gut her, burn her, in some vain attempt to purge her impurity from their world. She considered the easily corrupted of humanity, she may have to cling to one. Curl her tail around one of them, just to make it by. As protection from the natural hatred of what humans don’t understand, she would serve as no more than a trinket to a male. The thought of a woman of great power taking her in made her giggle, closing her eyes in almost joy at the interesting thought. She knew how to appease the advances of a male, to give just such an allure to make them satisfied without intercourse. But a woman, she wouldn't know where to start. This thought made her blush; perhaps a woman could be crueler than a man.

Melancholia groaned at the heat as soon as she entered the kitchen, being completely unused to any sort of humid condition. When you stayed in your air-conditioned room for days on end, you tended to get used to that particular luxury..which was broken every once in a while by her elder sister, telling her all about that damn great outdoors and dragging her out of the house..
Yeah, this kinda heat was almost the same as the sun's relentless UV rays. Well, except that it didn't smell as bad..
"Oh, gods. The heat.."
The Fae murmured inaudibly under her breath as she forced herself not to think about the sweltering temperature, surveying the room for the first time. Around them was..well, a kitchen. A really, really big kitchen. The kitchen crew however..that was the oddity. For a start, they were composed entirely of goblins, a specie of creature that Mel never considered could be neither hygienic nor good cooks.
Still, Altera was unfolding another miracle by completely proving her wrong on one point. Which wasn't the one on hygiene, definitely.

She watched the goblins with interest as they went about their respective tasks, an assembly-like line of goblins chopping vegetables down while at another table, goblins wielding knives butchered dead animals with a practiced ease. Commandeering the entire operation was an orc..no. On second thought, that..massive thing carrying a marble rolling pin was actually a goblin. Could they even grow to that size? Wow. And of course, they were all illuminated blue by her lantern.
Her interest quickly turned to nervousness as she realised that all these goblins could be potential enemies..those knives looked razor sharp..and that marble rolling pin...the creature holding it was about three times her size. And it looked quite..marbley?

Adellia trailed after Emma, right behind her as the Desma strode forth, making sure to avoid the goblin workers with the very noticeably sharp knives. The plethora of smells was..overwhelming, her finding it a bit disgusting that some of the smells probably belonged to the goblins on either side of her. Ew. As they navigated the kitchens to reach the far side of the room where the five doors were situated, Emma paused suddenly and suggested that they split up to explore the rooms beyond the doors..which sounded good, but the implications of splitting up could be dire for the both of them at this level.
Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
"Alright. You wanna choose which doors?"
Mel inquired, examining each of the doors one by one. When no reply came, Mel glanced over her shoulder at Emma..who was currently in a bit of a situation with the big goblin. The Fae girl tensed, fingers already poised to click and summon Faeflame as the head goblin lumbered over to the Desma, speaking rudely to the girl.
Melancholia couldn't help but notice just how big the damn goblin was when it was right next to Severine..it loomed, towering over her. And it didn't seem happy..
