Garian and Elenwe
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Vash looks utterly confused as she looks between the two groups. She seems to listen intently to the verbal exchange (despite not speaking a lick of common) before eventually letting out a small giggle, grabbing Garian's shoulder and rustling his hair with a grin.
"Do xaik ji mahsa, Sihse." (I appreciate the gesture, ...)
Her veins begin to become more prominent and her irises turn from black to a mild tinge of crimson red as she spits on the ground, approaching the wizard and his associate
"Jid Sihse ko'i. Do ohk ji viksiga dan kalwan, ka? Tlaran san ar tisla aan jos vil jid sihse ko'i, vil Do mtan pay toe guo!" (Leave ... alone. I am the prey you seek, yes? Take me to father's abode and leave ... alone, and I shall comply for now!)

You watch as Vash rustles the defensively stanced man's hair, muttering something with a grin. Unfortunately you're still a bit too far away to catch quiet conversation as she turns towards the two of you now. You can't help but notice her eyes seem to glint in the late afternoon light, a deep, piercing red.
"Jid Sihse ko'i. Do ohk ji viksiga dan kalwan, ka? Tlaran san ar tisla aan jos vil jid sihse ko'i, vil Do mtan pay toe guo!"
She shouts loudly as she marches towards the two of you. What the hell is that gibberish?

Due to your training in the arcane arts, you manage to identify a few words from the seeming gibberish. It seems this woman is speaking in the ancient tongue as a native language!
You manage to make out the words "Master ... prey ... seek ... father's abode ... Master ... comply ..."

Ah yes, that tidbit... You begin to piece together what happened in your head- Being stuck on a ship with all those other people had been bad enough, but at least you had managed to find a small hidey hole on the lower decks though. When that... Thing had broken through the ship's hull it had caught you completely off guard, and had left it with far more time to have its way than some of the other survivors.
The magically driven passions that had flowed through you were amazing to say the least, as if every slight twitch or movement was designed to increase your pleasure... Well, that is, until you recall it speeding up almost violently as it approached climax before splinters of holy wood seemed to launch at the beast and end the party prematurely. The last thing you remember is being flung outwards and away from land, your body skipping across the water like a pebble.
"You priestess, do you know why a ship carrying people would come to this place? And what is your name?"
"Oh? I assumed you were part of that church vessel that passed through yesterday... Around here I'm known as Sister Qualls. I believe I remember some of the Rastanites talking about bounty-based sums being offered for the extermination of vile creatures or some such."

GM Note; Since she's just picking one that looks safe at random I'll go ahead and leave it to the dice between the ones with safe symbols on them.

The Bar-Lgura simply grunts at that as you go about placing a stone with a crown on it into the portal slot. The other side of the portal however doesn't look very inviting... A dusty, old throne room that looks like a major battle took place inside of it greets you, and you get an eery feeling from it as if this place were just flat out evil.
You watch as a shadowy figure begins to fly towards the entrance of the portal, and thinking fast you pull the stone out. That... Probably wasn't your safest bet.
Pulling out the stone with waves on it, you get the impression that this one is likely much safer than the other one. Placing it into its slot, a calm, serene river appears on the other side. You marvel the beautiful scenery before you as-
Oof! A large hand shoves you through the portal as a small feeling of vertigo hits you. Looking behind you, you notice a large hairy hand of the Bar-Lgura holding the stone keeping the portal open! It slaps shut with a small clap of energy as you find yourself stranded on a riverside. Judging by the sun's position it will soon be evening in a couple hours. Rolling hills and plains seem to greet you from all directions... Looking about, you do happen to notice a small series of homes along the riverside a little way's North of your position, and the river seems to be running South.

"Maybe as a reagent? Hm..."
Lean tosses you a couple of vials as the two of you collect the green goo and bits of vines strewn about.
"Now that those are all finished, I guess we have nothing left to do but continue on our way, yes?"
"Sounds like a plan to me."
The two of you continue on your way for a while yet, but the sun continues to lower. Night time is quickly approaching as you find yourselves in a small valley...

"Oh this thing? It's just an anti-magic field combined with a demonic barrier. Standard procedure for holding concubines hostage after all... As for my stay here? I doubt you'd be interested in my... Adventures of the flesh. You don't really seem the type to appreciate such things."
She frowns for a moment, seeming to think before giving you a light-hearted smile.
"Aside from his lordship's son and the holy trash he dragged in with him ransacking the place, there's not much to tell... After all, I'm rather drained right now since I haven't fed in years, my memory isn't the best..."
She yawns, eyes gazing towards you with an 'I'm waiting' sort of expression before she turns to stare at the orb with a sigh.
"As for that thing, well, even Devilish Kings keep a few dozen phylacteries hidden in case they happen to be slain. You never know when a fragment of your soul might come in handy... Even a mundane sword could likely pierce it if someone really wanted to destroy it."

Boron flaps into the small cave, causing a small ruckus among the local goblins who prepare a spot at one of the fires for you. A couple of guards stand watch at the entrance to the cave as night grows ever closer.
