"Just the response I was waiting for, It would be very sad if you went and reported all this to Blue Skinned one. At least, let the army march on him first, and after his initail defenses fail miserably, let him know. Its always more fun that way." The general chuckled softly.

"Fun for you? I'm not about to catch his hell for knowing and yet not giving. But like I said, time will guide my actions." A little hard look though. "Though do well not to destroy so much...no point in tearing it all down now is there? He might just up and leave with his pet and then you'll have no one to play with in your free time now will you?"
Well wasn't this an intersting conversation that had occured...all because he had to follow his little predator instincts. Oh well, he supposed he now had a card up his sleeve if he ever needed it. Or could price gouge Malik for the information he held.

"Maybe that will benefit me just as much as the stand off." THe general smiled. "Well, then. I shall leave this at that." Jarlaxle bowed his head, and picked up his hat. "Fare thee well." A globe of darkness covered the drow, and then it and the elf were gone.

It was true, she was like them since not wearing shoes was their thing not hers. Usually she had her boots on but it just didn't work right with the see through silk pants she had on. "Well...no. I'm used to not wearing a whole lot of clothes so even though this is different, it's not horrible." Why was she lying? It was horrible. She had to be dressed like a slave, in see through green and not what she usually wore at all. She ran her fingers through snow white hair and smiled at the imps and then reached down and ruffled both of their heads. "Thank you for cheering me up you two. I really needed to smile and be happy right now."

"My father could find him. all it woudl take is a few hunts."
A sigh getting up and moving away from then, his wings slumped abit. Yet another task that his father would easily outperform him in, thanks to that genetic gift that had not been passed on..much to Onyx's resentment, and Cymarron's peace of mind.
"If I had his gift, just for a day...it woudl be worth it. worth everything that came with it. the knowledge alone woudl make it worth any price."
Malik let Piper enjoy herself, and had dinner and lunch served to them on silver trays and the like. and Malvolence was brought to him again, but set on the coffee table. Sevilin had either gone home...or he was snooping someplace or doing something he wasn't supposed to. and Malik was tempted to use the blade to find out which was what was going on.

"Well, we don't have your father, so we'll have to do it outsevles." Not sounding very impressed."
"But...Din may be useful. The direct son of the man we are trying to find. He can travel faster than any of us, enter a body and he would instantly know what they know...the problem is a, finding him and b, getting his attention long enough to do soemthing for us."
"There is no use mooning over what we can't have, Onyx. Brooding aobut what could potetnially help us without doign anything only adds to the problem." She looked sympathetic though.
She put a hand on his shoulder. "Lets focus on a solution, hmm?" Though she was a tad concerned about motive. Onyx didn't have much of a reason to be going after her mother, as far as she knew.
They giggled and blushed, tucking their hands behind their backs. "Awe, well you know."
Jell was chewing on his jacket. "Oh hey! I've got a gret idea!"
"You do?"
"Yeah!"
"Awesome!" high fives followed. And then they went quiet for a couple of minutes.
"Oh right! Jaun and I saw this all this rubble down near Deep Water. Looks like a tower was like, completely destroyed by something. Can we go check it out?!"
"Oooo, maybe it has rats!"
"And spiders!"
"And old ladies!" They shivered. "Old ladies that pinch your cheek! Freaky!"

Onyx turned to look at Whirlwind.
"If the solution means finding Din..then we find Din. I can follow his scent if I know what it is, and were you last saw him at. and I'll send the tracers to look for him as well. See if the Minotaur can contact him through the earth mother, and see if the winds tell us anything. Roarke...you mages I'm sure have ways to spy or look for things far off, we can try that."
A look at Roarke.
"And while we're at it, why not find places that are the highest concentration of shirines or temples to the Sky Father. or perhaps look into merchants that sell such things and see if any large purchases have been made recently. he has to be using that to defend against the connection the oracle has to her dragon, or the minotaur's abilities to find her."
He glowed red, and sparked a handful of little wisps of red demonic light.
"Find Din."
And the little lights spread out in plenty of directions, scattering to look for thier target.

"We lost contact with Din outside of Malik's fortress. Start there, maybe his scent still lingers." He shurgged. it didn't rain much here in the underdark, so there was a possibility. "I'll out an imidiate watch on everything I can, except I can't do anything about the Sky Father. I'm not affiliated with the guy, so i can't feel his power. We'd need someone who works with the dead."
He snapped his fingers, trying to remeber a name. "Like that woman who lived at the Wizen Watch Tower. She worked with the dead alot. Hwat was her name? Loud...something."
Aella smiled a bit. "See? That's better." She had a small connection with the earth Mother via the staff, but that connection was rather weak and she was enxt to usless unless the mother's influence was very high. For now, she would have to be content to follow and trust that things would get done.

Zahara watched the two of them barely stifling the urge to roll her eyes at their antics but she kept smiling the whole time. Unfortunately she had to upset them now. "That sounds like a lot of fun. But unfortunately I can't join you two. For one thing, I'm not going out wearing this." She gestured to her current slave appearance. "And I still have studying to do with Sevilin. You two have fun though and bring me something back. Alright?" she asked, ruffling each of their hair in turn. The cuteness was so wonderful at this point in her mind.

"What about Malik himself? he's a shadowknight. his powers are necromantic, as are the magi in his service. Necromancers. they work with the dead."
He didn't know about that woman, so he wasn't much help on that.
"We coudl go to the fortress and see if Malik knows where he went anyway..or find his scent and trace it. but do you have anything that you know bears his scent? Once I know it for sure, I can find it and track it."

"Malik doesn't use the powers of the Sky Father, he uses another deity's powers, if I'm not mistaken." He shrugged. "But you can ask if you want. Or ask if he knows aobut that loud woman. I know she'd be able to help." he folded his arms, cept only at a price. She wasn't a kind hearted woman if he recalled.
Again he shrugged. "I've never met the guy, so i wouldn't have anything that belongs to him, unfortuantly."
They shagged their shoulders, the fun seemingly ruined. But then perked up. They could throw rocks at birds or something. That would be very fun, especially if they got to eat them after wards.
"Okay, Star Flower."
"But don't catch a cold!"
"We'll bring you back a dress or something." They smiled, and vanished in a puff of smoke.

"So we start with a cold trail to find. a real Hunt."
That was said with a predatory, nearly feral tone to it.
"First though, need to warn my twin..if the draogn strike at Deepwater or Honoursfield, his new doctor practice will get swamped. then we'll head to Malik's and see if we can't pick up the trail, and see what Malik might knwo about that woman you mentioned, or know anything about the necromantic side of things to help."
A slight snort.
"He's not going to take the news very well that the death of the lich, and the bargain he made for that sword...since no diety does things to a non follower for free..was in vain."

Roarek nodded, and without waisting time turned around and headed deeper into his academy, still pretneding to be afraid at the slightest of noises. Although at one point he was genuinly scared. One of the wolf-kin pups popped out of nowhere and attacked his cloak.
Aella stared at Onyx a moment. "You're brother's started a what?"
She took the elad while exiting the Academy. "Common, we'll take the ship." She twirled her staff, stirring up some wing. "I can get us there in record time."
Then she sighed. "Meilliki told me that the sword had been successfully blessed. I don't think it was in anybodie's plans for it to fail."

"Doctor's office..practicing medicine..healing. that sort of thing. the Vah are known for our care of our pridemates and kin. Our shaman were wonderful healers."
A small smirk.
"I chose the path of a hunter, a predatory one. my path is dealing in death. death to enemies, and the hunting of prey to feed myself and others that need fed. my twin, chose a shamanistic route, a path of healing and life. typical of twins. one goes one way, the other moves in teh opposite in a balance to thier sibling."

"Really? That's useful. Is he any good?"
She smiled a bit too as they climbed onto the ship. "That is really quite encoraging. Perhaps you two follow the Earrth Mother more than you think." The crew was organized, the sails were set, and Aella placed her staff in a small notch on the deck, facing the sails. She left it there, and after a command from her, it stirred up some wind and filled their sails near to bursting, speeding them on their way. "Ah, for once I am usefull."
