Melsandra listened intently to the talk as she took the soap in hand and began to wash Avalin's back. When Avalin mentioned her desire to go after bandits she thought about the idea of asking her to join though there was one possible reason that might not work. "My name is Melsandra Firebrand if you will. I've actually got some people looking into going after a group of bandits that attacked me recently. Though one of them is an Angel, so I don't know how comfortable you'd be around him. As far as loneliness I'm starting to get a feeling for that though I've only been traveling alone a short while."

[lilgrunt1]

she leans into the washing and giggles a bit"Just because my father was a demon prince doesn't mean I don't like working with angels after all I am half human as well , my mother was a princess." she laughed then looked her in the eyes "It's a pleasure to meet you may I call you Mel ?" she looks a lot more comfortable now with her, "Well if you ever need a traveling partner I'd be glad to take the part in fact if you want you can join me in my room tonight." she said with a smile as she rubs her back.

[Firehead]

Mel listened to Avalin for a moment. "Well I couldn't quite be certain your opinion on Angels, but if you wouldn't mind you are welcome to join us. Mel will be fine." As she finished up washing her back Mel turned from Avalin and offered her the soap looking for some more to wash her front with as the half-demoness got her back. "Well I definitely would be on the look out for someone I can trust for travel. Not quite sure about sharing your bed though."

[lilgrunt1]

Avalin nods washing her back rubbing and massaging it."I understand completely , just throwing that offer out there ,." She continues to rub and massage her back ." So do you want me to rub your front too? I really don't mind but if you don't want me too I'll just see if I have more soap in my bag."

As you think this a glowing white rift opens in the air infront of ou blowing away discarded prices of trash in the alley and other loose items, your hair goes whipping backwards. White glowing ruins start burning into the ground and then suddenly it's one and in its place is an angel, aswell as burned rune makings in the ground. She smiles, "it is nice to in ally meet you, I don't know much about myself either so I'll tell you what I do know. I am your guardian angel, consider yourself lucky only a select few get us, you have been hand picked by a god for... Well that's the thing Indy really know, a defect of you being half human means I only have half my memories. But, I know it is of the upmost importance we find something that can grant any wish and I will help you in anyway I can. I will inform you more when some more memories comeback but for now I must go again."

[Firehead]

Melsandra relaxed for a bit and enjoyed the feeling of her back being washed. "If you've got some extra soap I'd prefer to do it myself. It'll be a bit faster if we get both sides at the same time."

[Sundance]

Looking around in the inn Coria noticed someone new. A strangly little, but somhow cute looking man. "What, i.." Ash still on the face she looked from Able back to him. "Yes, something is the matter." She didnt wanted to talk about all this again but as it seems Able was allready talking about them as a group. For a moment she remembered a book, filled with stories about brave friends who face adventures together. The titel was "Dragons in dungeons", and it was one of her favorit books. "Coria, Coria the adventuress." And maybe these two, or three if the cute little man would join them, would be her group. So she made a choice. "I rather die then let these man do this to me." For a moment there was a glimmer of fire in her eyes.
"Yes, an adventure it is. And with my share of the loot i will pay off these men." She looked over to Able and to Gillan who was allready talking about the bandit camp. "I..i could help you with this. I am not a good fighter, but i know a little about healing and history." A bit of the old naive hope was back in her face as she looked over to them, Able, Gillan and Priscilla.

[Laughing Hyena]

Abel's lips curl into a genuine smile at the renewed strength in her voice and the glimmer of fire shining in the eyes of the young lady. Speaking to Gillan, he figured to give a brief explanation. But not here. He figured it could wait until they were gone from the village first. Besides Coria's phrases and words should be more than enough for Gillan to understand some of the situation. Still regarding the talk on the bandits and the rewards the small smith asks for he felt that was more than agreeable. "Really? Then I think we can help each other out quite well." He smiled a touch with his eyes now upon Coria when she spoke of what she could do. He figured to let the small intrepid party know what he could bring to the table. "I may merely be a young sapling in terms of the arcane but I am certain I can help." Granted he didn't say everything just yet but his stepfather said that the best heroes play their cards close to their chest. All the better to surprise a villain.

He would spend what little coins he might had for bread, maybe some cheese and fresh skins of water… if he could anyway. Better to have some food for the road. "We can at least afford some food, I hope. We may need it for the road." Once everyone was prepared to leave, he happily does just that with his party. If Gillan asked for answers regarding Coria's words he would gently speak on the matter. And he would kindly ask the young smith to wait just until they were out of the village and on their way. Abel figured to tell Gillan a bit about what was going on. But only after they were on the road.

Thus this is exactly what he does as promised. And it was best to forge decent trust with the group and their newfound friend. "Since we are in haste, I'll sum up. My friend, was accosted during her exploits within town and unlocked magical abilities under the stress. Collateral damage ensues because of the volatile nature. The village seek compensation and as such we are turning to the bounties to gather the funds." Abel was kind enough to leave out the exact nature of how personal the attack was so that Coria did not have to recount the story completely and to spare her reopening mental wounds. In his mind, he figured that Coria's sentence about the preference of death over a payment of flesh was telling enough. So he wouldn't bring it up.

Avalin gets out of the bed and walks to her bag bending over searching for about 3 minutes. "Oh there we are found it." she then walks back handing it to mel. after a dew more minutes of rubbing her back she begins to crying turning her hugging into a full blown hug," You are the first person in a years that has seen me fully and treats me normally." she hugged her lovingly crying on her shoulder." I-if y-you need any anything please tell me."

[DeltaSynergy]

Gillan listened to Coria and Abel and nodded.

"Like i said, I'm in for the bandits camp. The reward I hope to get would either be worth nothing or more than the 500 gold you guys will be splitting."

Deciding whether he should lay out what he knew to the group, he recalled his dad's words that strength in numbers was something to take heed.

"I have information also. The bandits are heavily armed so they won't hold back at all. They have a woman on their side that is capable of using illusion magic or mind control. Their camp is out near the fields."

[Fantasy Fanatic]

Sabrina was glad she hadn't taken the bandits up on their offer.

"Well, I happen to know what way they took off, so tracking them shouldn't be that hard." Sabrina provided.

[FragranceofMtDew]

Priscilla was interested in both quests, though the quest to clear the bandit camp was more in line with their objective of gaining money. Hearing the elf behind her speak up, Priscilla turns to hear her out. "My name is Priscilla." She says returning Sabrina's introduction with a slight bow of her own. Years spent traveling amongst the common man had made her forget most of her mannerisms as a member of the upper class, but there were still some mannerisms she maintained.

It was fortunate that they now had two people offering them information on the bandits, and even Coria seemed on board with the idea now. Good. Everyone needs something to hold on to for hope, even though the idea of paying off such petty thugs is disdainful to Priscilla. Gillian's information that the bandits have a mage on their side is somewhat concerning, but as long as they can handle that she's not too worried about any common bandits. "Well, thankfully I'm pretty heavily armed myself. I'm in, so if you'd be so kind as to lead the way Sabrina?"

[Firehead]

Melsandra accepted the soap from Avalin with a thank you before she began washing her front and allowing the demoness to wash her back. She was suddenly caught by surprise as the woman seemed to have a mild emotional breakdown. Mel wasn't used to dealing with this sort of thing, so she found herself frozen for a few moments trying to come to an idea of what she should do. Not wanting to leave her too long She finally went ahead with an awkward hand on Avalin's shoulder. "Umm, it's okay. I'll just keep that in mind."

[lilgrunt1]

She sniffles " I'm sorry just this is different for me you are the first person to be nice to me in a very long time." she then rubs her back more massaging her more." you are nice and I'll be glad to help you defeat these bandits the best I can ."

[Firehead]

"Thank you for the help. Speaking of which I should finish this up and see if I can't find the Angel and Catgirl that said they'd look into forming a group."

[lilgrunt1]

She looks at her" may I join you ? " She said getting out of the water bending over to put her cloths on .

[Firehead]

Mel gets out of the water and dries herself off. Getting back into her clothes she responds to Avalin, "Sure, let's go see if we can find them." Once both her and Avalin were dressed she'd open the door back out into the inn and look around for the Angel and Catgirl. If she couldn't see any sign of them she'd approach others in the inn to ask around about the pair.

[lilgrunt1]

she grabs her gear and follows mel keeping close to her strumming her sharp edged lute.

Mel & Avalin:

You ind the cat girl to be alone in the alley and the angel was no where to be found.

[Firehead]

Finding her to be in the alley Mel approached the catgirl. She could see the girl had changed clothing since last seeing her. She definitely looked like she was ready for some action. "It was Irissars right? Is that Angel boy still around or did something come up for him?"
