"and you think she's going to listen to you? she barely listens to me half the time."
Though a small grin. note to self, don't spill secrets even when you feel really, really, really good. But let her try Nightmare's patience these days. pregnant moodswinging horse... while he got to place decorator with several potent and dangerous traps and new statues and new pets.

Piper only set her hands to her hips and smirked at him, tilting her head slightly so that her hair fell in her face somewhat. "First off...you're male. Therefore you lack a certain understanding of all things female. Two...dear you know how very persuasive I can be. And if all else fails...well why am I going to give away all my tactics to you when some of them were even designed for you?" Oh yes, she had her ways indeed.

"Hey I'm not saying you won't get what you want. I'm just saying she a very stobborn and tempermental mare. and now, she has mood swings on top of that. so just be careful. I don't want her trying to tear down her stall or bite your hand off."
A small chuckle, while he was waiting on Roarke.
"Well if you insist, go try your luck. I'll have a cleric ready for you if somethign goes wrong."

"Right I won't get myself stomped to death. Besides, I'll always have Serino there for me now won't I? He was long saving me from things before you, I think he can handle it." A slight laugh and a thoughtful look from her. "And Nerian needs a place to sleep too." A whistle to call said Zephyr from the kitchen to which he had wandered then she looked to Malik once more. "And didn't we have that discussion about clerics? Besides, nothing will go wrong. Come on Nerian, let's go try out luck, eh old friend?" A wink and a wave to Malik, walking off with a Zephyr in tow of her who was munching on a pear.

Roarke held out a hand in greeting when Malik, Piper, and Kerian found their way to the main foyer, Moonstone in tow. "Greetings Malik! I have brought of coruse, everything that you have asked for." The two coq dragons came trotting in then, one behind the other, and sat one to either siad of Roarke. From a bag that was obviously too small, he pulled to large, iron collars. "These are their collars. Have their names engraved on it somewhere, when you choose them." He patted one on the head. "They like having names. Don't you boy?" The dragon grinned.
He patted at his pockets, oooking for soemthing. "I know I have it here somewhere." Then he knocked one hand tow his forhead. "Silly me, I put it in the pouch." He grabbed said pouch and upended it. An old, large trunk clattered to the floor, making the dragons scitter backwards from surprise. "You're dragon-scale armor."
Raziel smiled back. "Of that I have no doubt. Andal has sunlight, doesn't it? And real trees and grass?" Yes, he was getting excited now, wasn't he? He crawled up Keiran's sleave to sit himself back down on his shoulder. He would listen attentivly from there. Upon seeing Roarke and Eliot, he imidiatly became trasnfixed with the girl's morphings, as well as the two dragons. He logged physicall descriptions like a file folder.

"Excellent. and the other items, such as the statues I requested, id you bring them as well? Piper won't be joining us for the...redecortaign of the fortress with your special defensive items. she's going to try and talk my nightmare into getting her more cinnamon."
A small grin to Eliot.
"and hello to you, Eliot. I didn't get to ask the slaves about your dream..piper has put me on a forced vacation from work. apparently I got overly stressed and she doesn't like it when that happens."

"Indeed I have." He took the puch onece and dug around in it it. "Three heat shields, two fear items, five webs, and four golems. Glowing orbs, humming disks, beating rubies, and granite stones. Well, the stones can be modified, but we'll deal with that in a little while." He pulled each from the pouch as he spoke, piling them in the air as if they were sitting on a table. "All ready to be set up and triggered." He smiled. "Beauty part is that they can be set to recognize certain people. So if you are in retreat for some reason or another, you don't risk setting off your own traps. Just like the coq-dragons really."

Kieran chuckled lightly. "Yes. Sunlight, moonlight, starlight. Weather. Tree, grass, flowers, vast plains and tall mountains, clear blue warm water as far as the eye can see." He could hear the excitment in Raziel's voice and for a moment he worried agian about his daughter on that issue. Exactly how long had it been since she'd seen all of that. And he merely nodded to the others in greeting, dignified as ever.
Piper poked her head into the stables. "Oh Nightmare and Zephyr." And she walked in, a bit of a jittery Nerian in tow. It took the bribing of him with a pear to get him in the place and he was still rather scared in posture. Serino had scared with his whole 'Nightmare WILL eat you' thing. A smile from the elf as Serino padded over to her, nuzzling her shoulder as she pulled an apple out for him. He didn't look too much the happy Zephyr either. "Serino...has she been demanding of you?" Usually this was the part where she'd chastise Nightmare, but instead... "Well you know, she has a right to demand those things. And you have the responsibility to get her whatever it is she wants. If I was pregnant I'd sure expect Malik to get me everything under the sun, and even the sun should I ask for it." Serino was speechless...she just took Nightmare's side!

"Freeze Bullto!"
Naga, hands folded in the shape of a gun, stood pointing at one of her ship mates. Said ship mate was presently encased in a crystal of ice. She sneered. "The next time, Anomandor Rake, you choose to mutiny, try to make sure at least one of my crew will stand next to you." She pushed on the man's head, sending him backwards to fall to the deck.
They had gathered on the main deck, Naga prefering to make an example out of Rake. Whiskyjack approached Naga. "Do you want us to throw him overboard, Cap'n?"
"No, Whiskyjack. Through him in the ballest for the remander of our voyae. With luck, he will stay froxen down there. i will ask him to be removied," she rolled a wrist, "when I have need of him." This was code on the ship for "suicided mission."
They had finally foudn their way to Deep Water, were anchored some ways off in a small alove, surrounded by globes of darkness almost constantly, hidden from innocent or soon to be dead AND innocent eyes. They were waiting for their moment to strike.
Tattersail rolled her eyes as rake was dragged away to the ballest. "Why do we not get closer to HUMM!" Naga had slapped Tattersail across the mouth.
"Don't you dare speak his name! It is sacred! One as lowly as yourself cannot hope to utter it and not bring down the wrath of Lloth upon you!" Finatic? Perhaps a little. "He is the Son of Chaos, and that is the only name that will pass your lips.
Tatersail rubbed at her cheek. "Cap'n," she repeated, "Why do we not move cloer to his home then? Why do we not strick at those he is harboring?"
"Because they are unimportant! We do not need to bother ourselves with palle filth." Naga lifted up a hand, flicked her finger as if trying to cast off a bug. "Bephis bring." The boards beneath the female drwo suddenly craked, dropping Tatersail down to the 'tween deck. She groaned in a pile of splintered wood.
"Question my actions again, Tatter, and I'll break out the Elmekia Lance. Not a pleasent spell for one of your...make, is it?" The rest of the crew turned back to their work. Naga turned to Paran. "Everything is in shape now? The repairs have been made?"
"Aye, Cap'n"
"Taltos! How goes your scrying?"
"Unless he can detect witchcraft, which is a surface magic, Cap'n, then Ihe'll not know."
Her attention was diverted a moment, as she found a group of her crew had gathered and seemed to be bickering over a map.
They stared at the parchement, turning it this way and that, pointing at the pictures. "It's uh...in the middle. By the waterfall."
"No! It's East! by some broccoli!"
Naga tore the map out of their hands and looked at it. "You half wits! It's West by a tree!"
His eyes were wide and he listened attentivly. "I can hardley wait! I've never seen such things before!" At elast, not that he knew of. "Wow, oh wow. This is going to be so fun." He sat beaming like a kid with a piece of chocolate.

"great feature there. alright first, lets get the statue guardians set up, as they go right outside and are easiest to place. then we can deal with the others, I know at lest three are going by one vault. the others if we can modify thier radius of effects or teh like we'll see where to place those. I'm looking forward to getting things arranged and set up. then if th chaos child turns on us...as he's liable to do..he'll be in for a few surprises.
Nightmare looked up. okay. serino. check. piper. check. other zephyr. Nightmare got to her feet, snorted and reared at Nerian, snorting little puffs of smoke and stomping her feet in a clattering of mithriled horseshoes. No, that cowardly zephyr was not going to taint the essence of her foal or foals to be! get it out. bad enough he let the lizard in..but at least teh lizard was strong and not cowardly.

Roarke picked out the four stones that were they generators of the golems. "Two ten-foot scorpians, two twenty-foot Yuan-ti, comming right up!" He walked out the door, the other little items following behind him in a line. "Which ones to you want where, and of what kind of stone?" He was juggling the stones now, no magical aid either.

Kieran tilted his head in that amused way at Roarke's antics before his attention filtered back to Raziel on his shoulder with a chuckle. "Really now? Well, either way you're in for quite the treat aren't you? Add in the beautiful scenery of Andal and the surface isn't such a bad place really...sure every now and then you have your occassional natural disastor. But you can't help that now can you?" A chuckle at that as well.
Piper cringed slightly. Oh boy, she was at it again was she? Well if she was going to bribe that horse into anything then she had to make things right with them all, right. Hand on her hips she looked to Serino in a rather chastising manner. "Now look, you've gone and upset her." A look to Nerian who wasn't happy. "And you too. You males, I swear you're all nothing but trouble." And a tilt of her head to Serino as he relayed what had her so up in arms. She turned on Nerian. "You need to grow up Nerian. She's only going to hurt you if act the coward. Grow a back bone for Corelleon's sake. She gave Nerian that, you better help me out or so help me I'll put you in a jar, look. And it indeed seemed Nerian was trying... at bit. Brave as she may be she took a step towards Nightmare, reaching a hand out to her but not touching. "I know, I know Nightmare. You just can't do a thing with any of them can you. They either try to make you look bad by being cowards or get on your nerves by not doing what they're told."

Eliot Nodded her head towards malik in acknolegement.
Kat felt very happy that someone was interested in her work. She took a moment to count. "Lets see piercings, 2 on my lip, 6 in my left ear and 4 in the right, my eyebrow" she wasn't sure how moon would take this next one, "Well both my nipples... so that makes 15 piercings total. And as for tatoos I only just designed needles that are able to inject dye beneath the skin without washing away, so really this is my first one, just finished actually, next I plan on doign the sun on one shoulder, and the moon on the other." She thought it kind of odd now... Her mothers maiden name meant "The Sun Eternal"... and her father's surname "Darkest Moon"... she had never thought of that before though..."
"Actually the smaller the whole probably the better, " She tuugged on one of her pink and green locks "If you want a larger lookign earing though i can easily fasion one. And as for the dye," she took out a colour she had just made for the roses on her leg, blood red from the flowers she had found around the mansion, and held it up " I make it myself and well, lets say my mom still thinks it's extrordinary that our geese would suddenly change their feathers blue... So yes, it stays on for quite some time" She smiled, happy someone was takign an interest in her talent.

Malik walked outside, and took a look, order the ogres out of the way, and they agreed, reluctantly. they were sure they were about to be replaced by whatever that robed guy was going to do.
"Obsidian. it's tough, good looking, and even damaging teh statues is a danger beacuse of hwo it breaks, in sharp peices and shards. the Yuan-Ti I want at the sides of the door. with bows and arrows if possible. the scorpions...those can be on teh roofing, one on each side, in similar manner to large gargoyles. and leave enough room by the Yuan-ti for the orges to resume thier positions."
Nightmare nickered lightly. finally another woman that understood. and he pressed her nose to Pipers hand and stepped forward leaning her head over the stall door, flicking her ears. hell no she coudln't do a thing with them. Nerian was a coward and shouldn't have the privilage of being in the same stable as her, and Serino for some reason was always complainging he was too old or tired to do anything. and the humans...don't get me started on teh humans.
Onyx grinned.
"Nipples eh?"
He couldn't help it, and reached out his claw, and touched her chest lightly, tracing the outlin of one of those piercign through her shirt. hmm. so she wasn't bluffing on that, was she. by the ancestors that had to hurt like crazy to do. but hey, look, red dye. she was just a dear, wasn't she.
"I've thought about trying to get my wingtips red. for just an extra show. think that stuff will hold on my feathers? and if so...how long does it last? it doesn't wash out or anything does it?"

Piper smiled, nothing like man bashing to bring women closer together, eh? She pet gently at Nightmare snout, running her hand up her head to between her ears, bringing her other hand up and brushing it through the horse's mane. She really did hold a fascination with this particular breed of horse. Piper was indulging the creature with petting now...any female of any species who was upset liked to be petted over. "That's a good girl, Ramoth." Add in a little native language to help along the process. "Sometime you just can't get things to go your way can you girl? All men do it sooner or later. Malik does it to me too...he takes away my cinnamon and hides it away from me." A look over her shoulder to the other two Zephyrs who were both now looking quite miffed while also talking among themselves, Serino reprimanding Nerian and telling him he better shape up. And of course a nicker to Nightmare. Well with the way she ran him around...he just wanted a nap or two. A chuckle and her attention back to Nightmare with more petting. "Incompetence abounds, doesn't it girl?"
