"But it's still there, isn't it? You've done nothing more than push it into the background. Things in the background like to push thier way to the foreground. Sure...things we rather not think about often get the better of us, win the majority of battles. But that doesn't mean the war is over...being defeated is only a temporary condition, giving up is what makes it permanent."
Nym chittered happily and dropped the little bag of apple chips on Morelle's stomach. All yours, I like to eat meat. Thus the jery stuff was hiss. And I found this stick that smells spicy, I don't know what it's called but it smells good. If you chew on it, it's kind of bland and hot at the same time.
Okay so let's get this straight...she was having an insightful conversation with a half elf while a ferret and a fox squirel occupied her arms, eating her travel food and her cinnamon...and they were going to a place that they may not be allowed in and that could in turn only stir up hell for them all? Oh yeah...that was lovely...

She shrugged. "I suppose so." She almsot felt like fighting about it, but not quite. She didn't feel like she was really understood by this elf. Then she wondered if it really mattered. "We'll be getting there soon."
Thank you! Morelle didn't have the kinds of paws that Nym did, sohe had to scruntch his stomach up to get his face near the bag, and then fiddle with it to try and get it open. Darn bipedals and their silly contraptions.

A shrug from her as well. Time to drop the conversation wasn't it? Fine by her, wasn't her job to try and push Aella to something. For all intensive purposes, Piper knew Aella hated her. Why? Because she hated the Piper before her...didn't matter if the soul had changed, the look was the same and sometimes looks did mean quite the great deal. They just didn't have great repore now did they. And she wasn't going to push for Onyx either...he could do his own girl catching...she had her own troubles to worry about at the moment. So a sigh from her. "Well that's good."
Nym had found two new things. One, an even greater friend in Morelle, and two, if he ever wanted food he knew who's pockets to raid. And it was great, she didn't try to hit at him or stop him or anything! She practivally said, go on raid my pockets of their contents. Oh the wonders of what other things might hold. Like her boots, or her drawers, especially her room! He'd have to do some exploring...

Ad'non looked at the quarter-incubus and frowned. "The Captain wants you to sink this ship."
"But... she's mine."
"You know Salmander will get very weary of this unl-lucritive use of his vessel. He will come for it and take it back, and probably ruin some of my dear brother's plans. Should that be such a bad thing." Drow certainly could use common to ill effect.
"After we put into Deep Water, I'll sink 'er..." Talon was not going to argue with Ad'non over this ship. It was only black wood from the heart of an evil forest, it could be replaced eventually. He did have an entire lifetime to sail and sink ships after all, and would not have this life by crossing the son of Lolth.
"Two of the other wizards will be waiting for you. Set fire to the sails and they will do the rest." Ad'non did not wait for a reply, and simply teleported off the ship.
"Basterds."

Was she getting a cold shoulder? She didn't understand why, but all right. She wasn't going let herself be affected with such thoughts. They rounded a corner in the path, after an hour or so of brisk walking, to find the castle before them. Aella sighed. Looking at the place that had no visible entrance. "Well. There it is."
A vertual utopia, isn't she, Nym? Darn bag. How do people work with such hamperings? Thmbs would eb nice right now. Hey now, that's a big building. never seen one like that before. Nym, check it out. Ever been inside oen of thm before? Chitter chitter.

Elric spoted the group almost imdiately, and turned to Sstrl who shrugged. The pair were specifically told not to let anyone in who did not have Tarathiel's expressed permission. In fact, they had been ordered to keep everyone out including Tarathiel unless they could provide direct proof of his permission. This was a prison after all.
In the city of Water Deep, a few of the elder folks snuffled a tear at the burning ship. Wood was a valuable comodity and would be sourly missed.
Cedric looked at Talon with a strange glare. "We will need a new ship now."
"Sorry, but a bigger stronger man wanted me ship back, and I would rather see her dead than in his hands."
"Who?"
"Her' rightful owner."

Piper tilted her head at the place. "Wow...that's oh so inviting." Obviously when Tarathiel went about so called protecting thigns, he really meant it. Of course that made things hard for the rest of them. "You know...if this was an emergency...even though it kind of is anyway...we'd be in a real jam."
Indeed she is. Here, let me get that. Thus little agile paws took the bag, tugging at it and using teeth a bit to work it open for Morelle so he could stick his head in and pull out what he wanted. Though a chitter and a look to the castle. I've been inside one before, but I was in a box. The box was cramped and didn't have many airholes. I didn't like it.

"Yes well, drow don't use doors, as far as i've been told." She sighed waving an arm. "I can get you this far, but I can't get you in. I'm afraid you'll have to convince them that you need to see Meilikki, and that you aren't going to harm her in some way." She shrugged. "Sorry I can't do more." She gave a wave to those around the building. She couldn't see them clearly, but she figured soemone might know her and feel like waving back.
Oh thank goodness! I'm starving1head dive into the bag. Ah, friends are good. he munched away on the apple chips. Fruit was so good, even when dried and slightly crispy. Chitter. Do you want some Piper? Nym, how did you get isnide soemthing that doens't have any doors?

Malik moved ahead of the rest of them, leaving Onyx to stand near Whirlwind, lightly drumming his fingers on Malvolence, noting the lizard by sight and a 'surface' elf. Seems Kimmuriel keeps interesting company as well.
"We are here to see the Oracle. And honestly, I don't want to hear any garbage about not being allowed to, or I'll go to the corn fields not to burn them down as planned but to inform the one who own's them of each and every one of your names and what your up to. I've had enough bothersome annoyances for one day as it were."
A look at the surface elf.
"Not to mention. his choice of allies. I know that history. woudl be a shame if the rest of the scattered remenants of a once proud kingdom were taken permenantly into a state worse than death."
Onyx just groaned and put his face in his palm.
"Sure has a way with words, doesn't he. so...who's agering one of them shoots him with something?"

If she wasn't holding small furry creatures, she would of rubbed at her temples. Oh yeah this was frustrating...though she was more focused on bracing herself for the inevitable irritation that would be spurred in Malik. When things didn't go his way...well it wasn't a happy time for anyone really. But a honest true smile to the half elf. "Thanks Aella. Even this far is a big help..." Then a look down at Morelle at his chittering and she did indeed snag an apple chip, munching on it subconciously really before petting the creature. A look back to Zahara and the boys. Seemed a dead end for now...except for Malik didn't want to play nice and she shook her head. "You are not a subtle elf."
Nym cocked his head and looked at the place with a chitter. I usually find a crack and squeeze in. I can pretty much squeeze into anything. I'm flexible and I can make myself really flat too. A look at his company. I don't think they can do that though...magics and explosions work well for that kind of thing too.

Elric looked at Malik and narrowed his eyes. Without Celeste here to tell him not to shoot the blue skinned elf, he was vary close to doing so. He merely frowned softly.
"Do you have an appointment?" Sstrl asked calmly. He looked at a parchment in his hand, "Who are you again?"

Aella growled and raised her staff. "I'd shoot him myself. Arrogent waste of flesh."
I'm not certain there are any cracks to sqeeze through in that building, It looks rather solid. I might eb able to get hrough it, but soemone in need of my assitance would have to be on the other side. And I'm certainly vulnerable to makics and weaopn. Looks like I'll be staying out here.
Din looked at the structure, somewhat impressed. "Oh, this is a pretty nift place for my cousin to live. She's done well for herself. Although it looks pretty different from the Acadame." He put hi chin in is hnad, thinking. "Have I ever gotten into something like this before? I can't remeber."

"Appoinment, no. unless the Oracle as made one for us knowing we'd be coming. And as far as my name, I'm surprised your Captian hasn't told you it already. but if it's a name you want, you can know me as D'vinn. It's been a bad morning, and I'd prefer to get in, ask our questions, and leave as promptly as possible. They are questions that need to be answered if your Captian wants those corn fields burned down as planned."
One hand rested on Malvolence, just for personal amusement, to see if that high elf had any protection on his mind. though Kimmuriel may have taken measure to safeguard the whole place somehow. lets find out his name...and anyone else that might be particularly close to him.
Onyx raised a brow and hsi tail twitched.
"Well. I guess they are used to that kind of..less then personable way of going about things. and you are going to get fat Morelle. the kelves will be using you as a tennis ball."
A little grin at the fox squirrel.

Hey I can still get squished, I'm not going to go anywhere that I know that can happen. I'm happy eating stuff right here thank you very much. If they can get in, good for them.
Piper shook her head. He always had to be that way didn't he? Couldn't just be polite at all, couldn't try to be subtle or negotiable or anything. No, had to be sword petting Malik. Why was she angry all of a sudden? Who cared...she could blame Malik. "Do you have to argue Malik?" Burnign stuff down wasn't that hard...
