Luai was getting a definate vibe that she was not particularily liked at this moment. Which was fine, she wasn't here to make friends. She smiled at Zahara. "From you, dear lady, a few skin cells will do. Willingly given. I can't have any negative energies on them."
Worm and Weasil were thrown off with some nasty parting gifts, and being the kind of jackles that they were, did not pursue Daz again. Skunk did not know she was on her own when she chased down one other pup, biting down hard into the younglings back before soemthing barrled into the side of her, taking her down.
He cleared his throat, not feeling comfortable that he felt good for sometihng he couldn't even remeber. "Yeah, well...I'm sure it was nothing. He ate soem of the food she brought for him, eating little as always, even though he was starving. He had a hard time keeping down large amounts of food. He ate like a bird.
He grimanced though. "Build up my strength? I've never had any to begin with."

And a look at Laudi. She didn't trust those eyes. They roamed...and she had no desire to be looked over and pondered over and god only knew she didn't watn to be fantasized over by this mage. So she kept her violet eyes narrowed and ran a finger through her hair. "Well if hair won't work...then I suppose...dammit." She held out her arm and said, "fine but let's do this adn get it over with." And i swear to Lloth NMalik if you say one word, I'll shove my blaes so far up your a** they'll come out your nose!

Oh he couldn't help himself.
"Feel free to take them from where you need to, Laudi, in case her arm isn't sufficent."
Really, how often does one get a woudl be priestess of Lloth into a situation like this?

And Malik got elbowed in the side. The man had no self control sometimes whatsoever. Really...the situation was delicate enough did he have to make it worse. A slight sigh as she ran her hand through her hair and tugged at her collar. "Don't aggrivate..."

From the many folds of her dress she pulled out what looked like a long, thin glass tube. From inside she pulled a piece ofcotton attached to a stick. "Cheek swab, M'Lady." She could tell the woman was uncomfortable. Ah well, it could have been fun.

Zahara glared at Malik, "My skin is the same all over my body. You may have something fake but I'm all the same." And then she turned her attention back to Laudi and took her arm back. "Alright." She took the stick and opened her mouth, moving the cotton along the inside of her cheek a few times to make sure she got enough of whatever it was and then handed it back. "There you go. Now Raziel lives?"

Daz scooped the pup up in his paws as he sent the jackle flyng. He didn't turn around to see what had happened. he only ran in an odd three legged gate. Hoping th pup he held in his arms was still alive.
He stopped shortly to find that he was safe, and rested the pup slowly on the ground. "Jada?" Daz whispered. He nudged her a little with his nose. Jada whimpered and Daz's heart lifted a little, but he then realized that Jada was bleeding badly and he had no medical suplies. He licked her wounds and he found with his tongue that her back had snapped in the jackle's jaws.
Daz looked up to see Kaida beside her sister. "We were trying to get down a rabbit hole," She said quietly, "I shouldn't have gone in first." She had tears streamign down her face.
"It's not your fault Kaida." He smiled a little, knowing the twins would not have seperated from each other even when running for their lives. The smile faded quickly though as he watched Jada struggle for breath. He knew she was in a great deal of pain.
Kaida could see it too, and she laid down to touch her nose to her sisters in a silent farwell. Jada's tongue flicked out to meet her sister's nose and gave a little yip.
Unwilling to see the pup die slowly in so much pain Daz, with tears in his eyes, turned Kaida away, and with a human hand he ended Jada's life.
Jada and ben were burried together beneath a sapling. The others cried their tears for them as they continued they're journey.
Eliot's faced pinched a little and for the first time in... well in a long time she felt a little angry. "Well maybe its time to, instead of going around feeling sorry for yourself." She through the cloth she had been wringing out on the bed and walked with as much dignity as she could muster out the door and back down the stairs.

She took the swab and put it back in the little gladd bottle. "Indeed Raziel lives. A very good thing that he continues to live." She bowed once more and faced Malik. "I will need access to a laboratory."
Wounded but triumphant, the jackles counted their winnings and decided to call it a night. They had gotten two pups, and Daz had been wounded as well. yes indeed, a good day.
Warren watched her elave, thunderstruck. "Wha...? What did I say?" He had merely been stating a fact. his simply could not become strong, no amoun of physical excerstion, magic spells or potions, or healthy food could make him gain a pound of fat or muscle. It was his cures from the sickness he had as a child. Struggling to his feet, he tried to follow eliot down the stairs.

"That I can arrange, if you will follow me."
And he gave a nod to Kieran and to Piper.
"See, my meticulus nature pays off."
And he lead her downstairs, and after deactivating the fear barrier, and then pulling the hidden lever that moved the walling aside and led her down through the tunnel to teh laborartory of his necromancers, the smells of chemicals and embalming fluids and death. and skins on teh wall..obvious from a living being, such as an elf, were put up like tapestries, glowing with runic sigils and occasionaly a face of a wizard or mage coudl be seen distorting the flesh's surface.
Undead spellcasting pets were working and doing the necromancer's work, a fialsafe lest the Lich get hold of the Oracle again. or if he had forseen certain types of events, you can't forsee the dead. they paid thier master and his guest little mind.
"Will this accomodate your needs, to work with my necromancers?"

She nodded. "Many thanks."
She followed Malik down into the lower levels of the fortress, noticing the things on the walls, wondering at the various things they all did or would do in the future. For a mage, it was all very enticing. She watched the faces on the skin for a moment, then turned back to Malik. "Yes, this will all suit my purposes quite well, as long as your necromancers don't take notes."
She cocked her head to one side. "I do however, need one more thing."

"And what might that be? and my necromancers have no need to take notes. Necromancy deals a great deal witht eh reanimation and creation of things from dead flesh. patchwork golems are a favorite."
Not to mention once she really dies they coudl just bind her to one of Kaden's skins and extract the information that way if they really needed it. Just like many of her colleges, more than likely, were from the wizen tower bound here already.

She chuckled. "I did not mean that in any literal sense. But yes, your necromancers work with the dead. I work with the living. And as you well know, or should know, life cannot create something out of nothing. Creating a life form reqires two genetic codes. Half of a female, and half of a male." She held out another swab to Malik. "Just like conception. I need male genetics to create life."

"And the reason this was not mentioned before was obviously not ot incur the wrath of the other women present. very well then."
He took the swab and ran it along the inside of his cheek, before handing it back to her.
"Take what time you need, but be warned. due to...certain beings, my necromancers are performing all thier spells and research through undead servants. so be careful aroudn them, sice as I am sure your aware they have no real intelligence of thier own, thus won't stop or redirect anything around you."

She smiled again, tapping her nose. "I may not keep my...fascination with good looking things a secret, but I know when to avoid an angry woman when need be." She took the swab back, tucking it away in her many folds.
She waved a hand. "I will stay as well out of their way as they will of mine. I only need a few hours, I think." She bgan to strip off layers of clothing, which seemed attached to her scirt by hooks and loops, until she wore a plain tank top and knee skirt. It was cold, and one could easily tell. Her neckline was no higher now than it had been before.
She turned and looked around, deciding on what she would do next. "I thank you once again, M'Lord for being so accomodating."

"Well...that waw squite the interesting dinner indeed now wasn't it? Much more than your typical one...complete with drop by quests and everything." Fianna shook her head and stood from her chair, walking over to a still defensive looking Kieran. IN one hand she offered Raziel to Kieran and she placed the other ohn the elf's shoulder. "Mayhaps we should all go rest." Then a look to the girls. "You two should find somethign soothign to do as well."
Kieran Took Raziel, petting over him once before clasping him in his hands adn nodding to Fianna, then looking to the girls as well. "Indeed. We'll take reverie, you two behave yourselves in whatever you two decided to do...cooperatively or not so. Evening." That said he took Fianna by the arm, taking himself, her and Raziel upstairs to thier room.
"Eveing you two." Piper was not a happy elf,She snickered "Meticulous nature pays off, my a**. I hate it when he does that..." Uncrossing her arms she sighed...him, what coudl she do to miff Malik and to have fun all at teh same time. Ah she knew. Piper turned to Zahara. "Want to go riding with me?"
