Blood Scales Game

OOC: Lora reminds me of like if Betty Crocker and Sabrina the Teenage Witch (the 90s version) had a baby....

I love that mix. 

OOC: Good. hahaahha She's great! Plus I am MAJOR shipping Lorex now lol

We will see what happens. If it happens it will probably end poorly, if not murdery

OOC: BUT he's an ANGEL like literally?!

Sayre frowns. "He left," she says to Lora surprised. "Where...where did he say he was going," she asks as they begin to prepare dinner.

(...... Yeah, but angel born make the best dark and troubled characters. Like Teiflings)

"He didn't say where. Just if we wanted to follow, we would need to track him down. He was really upset, I made him swear he would be back in two days. If he isn't back by sunrise, I am going after him, and taking the wolves to help." Tosses scraps and fatty meat pieces to wolves.

"Why would he be upset? Because we kicked ass and took name without him," Sayre asks her tone slightly annoyed. "I mean I appreciate his guidance but I feel like the group doesn't need a leader. We discussed and planned then executed said plan. I mean as much as he wants to lead us I think we're all wise and smart enough to contribute a valid opinion," she adds with a shrug. "Even Thimbol proved to me I was wrong about him," she adds frowning. "I...I need to tell him that," she adds. "But of course if Navek is not back in two days then I will help look for him," she says moving back to the stove to stir the hearty stew she's been preparing with Lora.

OOC: Because OBVS we got more food from the farms nearby from ALL the grateful people of Black Oak!!

"I think, he was hurt more that we are supposed to be a team and we left him. That our team saw one issue and just ignored him and did things behind his back. I would be hurt if I had a different opinion and was just pushed aside while everyone did it anyway. I just hope his adventure helps him come to peace, I dont want any friction between us all." Helps more with the food, "I may give him a day before I go after him. I don't know how well I can track and may need the advantage, hopefully the wolves will help but I am not confident in my skills."

(So If anyone wants to add anymore conversation or anything to dinner that is fine or interact with Lex. I am just post kind of what happens after dinner quick and so people can choose if they want to add anything or just start in the morning now.)

So once everyone finishes their meal, they are all suddenly aware of music playing outside of the inn. As they go to approach the heavy wooden door and open it, they suddenly realize that the entire town is standing outside. The street is filled with people, with Mayor Higgins and Sheriff Payne standing in front of them. "PLEASE JOIN US!" The gnome will yell out in order to be heard over the music and clapping as you open the door and take a step outside. "We would like to thank you all for eliminating the Bloodscale threat and for doing so much already for this town!" As the mayor speaks there will be a few loud cheers and more clapping. A small group of children lead by Kip will rush forward with hand drawn pictures of each of you, depicting you fighting the bloodscales and saving the town. One child will run up and look around before giving a second one to Mo and on further inspection you are pretty sure the second one was supposed to be for Navek. "The people of Black Oak would ask that you join us for a small celebration and allow us to show our gratitude" The gnome will say before turning and gesturing down the street. As he turns a small line of horse drawn carriages will appear decorated in beautiful flowers. As the carriages stop in front of the inn, the older children will quickly pick up baskets of flowers and  treats and mount ponies and donkeys and make their way to the front of the parade the group finds themselves a part of. As the Mayor and Sheriff work to usher each of you into your own carriage as small children grab your hands and pull you towards your places in the parade, they pause for a moment and their faces turn white. "Where is Navek?! We were told that you suffered no casualties! Is he hurt?!" Payne will say with a serious look on her face, trying her best to yell quiet enough as to not worry the townsfolk and ruin the celebration. After it is explained that he was performing a task her face will still hold a concerned expression but the color will at least return. As you all take your places and the parade begins, you are all able to see the extent of their gratitude. Torches light the crowded streets as the sun begins to set, loud music is playing from a band located in another carriage at the end of the parade, adults are bringing their babies up to the carts as they pass asking that you kiss their children and handing you large baskets of baked goods, hand crafted blankets, fruit, and a wide assortment of other items. The Parade doesn't last long as the carts only took a small lap around town before returning back to the inn. As you open the doors to exit the open carriages, flowers and other items that had been given to you nearly cascade out behind you. "Thank you all very much for all of your help again" They Mayor will say, taking off his top hat and holding it in both of his hands down around his waist. "We hope you continue to stay here in town and continue to do good and continue to watch over us" The Mayor will say as the crowd behind him cheers once again. A little while later the crowd will start to disperse so that people can get to bed and make and prepare for the new day that starts tomorrow. A day that they believe no longer includes the threat of bloodscales, which the group of you know not to be true... because you are aware that Shiv was being given orders by someone named "Thrash" and that the bloodscales seemed to need Black Oak for some reason.. When you return to the inn, Lex is no longer there and while and after relaxing by the fire with your wolves you all eventually retire to your bedrooms for the night. 

Navek, laying under the emerging stars as the sun sets below the trees is able to hear the sound of music and celebration carried on a strong wind coming from the direction of Black Oak not long after receiving the message from the sending stone.

As Sayre heads to her room and removes her armor and her weapons, preparing for bed... She pulls out the sword that she removed from Shiv. Holding the sword in her hands and for the first time since picking removing it from her enemy and really examining the beautiful blade. The short-sword looks as though it is crafted from obsidian, the blade of black glass is razor sharp and surprisingly light while while also appearing to be incredibly durable. The center of the blade at first seems to have a standard fuller but as the teifling looks closer, she can see that it is actually made of shadow as smoke like wisps move ever so slightly through it. The cross guard consists of two black obsidian snake heads with ruby eyes then come and twist together forming the hilt before both tails end wrapped around a large ruby acting as a pommel. The ruby also seems as though there is a small wisp of smoke trapped within and as the teifling focuses her attention on the ruby she hears a whisper in her mind.

"Do you fear death Sayre?"

Gripping the blade tightly by the hilt Sayre braces for a momoent before she responses.

"Before today I did but after today....I don't think I ever will again," Sayre replies with a building confidence looking at the blade and speaking freely to it as if it's a person in the room.

"I can grant you gifts that you can only imagine... the the power to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies and gain strength from their destruction... If you agree to follow me... I... promise to turn you into a weapon far more dangerous then myself...."

"I'm listening," Sayre replies griping the blade hilt tigher with a curious smile.

As a weapon... I only ask to be wielded by a warrior worthy of my gifts..... The creature that possessed me before was not worthy of the power I can provide and I would like to thank you for.... taking ownership of me..... If you are willing to accept my gifts, all I ask in return is that you wield me in battle and allow me to taste the blood of your enemies.... OUR... enemies... To accept my offer merely touch the tip of my blade to your finger and you will know my power...

The rubies in the eyes of the snakes and pommel will glow slightly as the shadow inside seems to swirl faster in anticipation as you hold the sword in your hands.

OOC: As is in Sayre pricks her finger or just like touching the blade?

Sayre takes the blade in hand handling it carefully and nods. "News will spread of what and who we defeated surely only more trouble is on the horizon. I need you too as an ally and a guide," Sayre says to tge blade. "I hope you do find me worthy," she adds holding the blade now with both hands out in front of her.

When Sayre touches her finger to the tip of the blade, she feels no resistance as the tip of the blade slides into her skin, drawing a few drops of blood. As the blood runs down the blade it seems to disappear as it is absorbed into the shadow.

I will guide you young one... we will achieve great things together as long as you trust in me....

The moment the sword stops talking to her in her mind, a new power will flood into her body through the sword and her eyes will fill with shadow for a moment before the return to normal. Although her eyes return to the way they were... the power within her remains. 

(If anyone else has anything to post they can, otherwise)
