Max could not help but laugh as the younger ones came at him, only to quicly back up as there elders told them otherwise. "Like eye and eye said, misa met no harm." he said as his face tightneed mere seconds before the Ogre made his presence know. The muscles in his body tensed as he turned to face the creature slowly, taking a moment to admire the rather large hammer in his hand. Looking up to face him, Max's answered, his voice tense, his body far tenser still. "Met no harm boss, just tought eye and eye would have a look, ish all." he said with a slight bow, never once taking his hand of that large hammer or the Orgres muscles.

The Ogre snorted lightly, whichi made teh dangling meathook chains and the metal spikes jingle abit. but tilted it's head lightly. it had no buisness. it was being a nosey human. Master was away, so that ment it was up to the Mistress. So the ogre turned it's gaze to a slave, that cowered in front of it.
"Get Mistrez. She handle it."
And back went it's gaze to Max, while that little slave girl scampered past and made a beeline to find Piper.
Broog looked at the picture, titled his head, looked at it from teh other way, and then gave a big hearty nod.
"Piccie perty. and will work. Mesa gets it done fer youz."

A happy little smile. "Oh good..." It was perhaps the only credit she ever gave to Malik's sword at all. Though it was if looked at in the right light, her acceptance of the blade that it would never be gone, just as her weapon of choice was bow and arrow and would never be gone as well. And it looked good too...Malik would probably get kick out of it in the very least. But her attention diverted as a little slave girl approached her, speaking of the going ons outside. It never ended. A nod to the girl and waving her away then a look to Broog. "I have to go handle something Broog." And she ripped out the page, lying it on the work table just in case he needed to reference. "I'll be back later...but remember this is our secret, Malik doesn't get to know." That said she turned and headed up and then outside to the stable. She cleared her throat. "Can I help you?" Coming to stand next to the gore, though uncmfortably.

This was quickly starting to become a regualr party wasn't it? If Max wasn't tense before, then this was definately a great place to start, but then again, there was no need to make a mountain out of an anthill. Wasn't in the mood to get clobbered by an Ogre, either. He bowed to the elf which had apperead before him, and spoke softly, "Eye and eye be called Maximillian Brood, please be calling me Max, simply a vagabound looking for shelter, be I, meant no disrespect, I did." he said as he rose from his smile. During the entire time the hammer and the beast which held it never once left his field of vision.

"My power lay outside of Dominia." Kimmuriel shifted his wieght, "In the end, you have miscalculated your value to me." The drow lifted a hand and placed it under his chin. "I have nothing to gain from you increasing your base power. Why should I allow you to do so?"

She crossed her arms, and had decided to that the more tactile approach rather the friendly one...besides she didn't know if she had it in her too be nice right now...too many things happening in the last few hours for her to let her emotions have thier way. Happy or sad. "You may call me Lady D'vinn...and seeking shelter...do tell, you're human yes? Vagabond humans are easily killed in teh Underdark...and you're not...care to alieve my suspicions?" Human, alone, Underdark...it didn't compute, to there had to be something about him.

"Aye me lady, I not be a normal human, Aye and aye survived these place for many a year, Secrets have I, a past best left forgotten, never been one to dwell on the past is I. If the question be trust, then place that large fellow yonder to watch me. If I prove untrustworthy, then let my shoulders and my head part." What the hell did he just say? Had he just offered to have an armed guard, chop of his head? Max was certain of one thing, old age was definately making him senile, if not down right stupid.

A look up to the ogre...yeah that was an offer but she had a better idea. She looked to one of the slaves. "Call Circa for me." And she waited as the slave padded off and inside, only to have him come back out with a coq dragon following behind him...which of course the dragon walked to Piper for pets. A look to Max as she pet the dragon. "Circa here can watch you...he may be small for a dragon...though I wouldn't underestimate him if I were you and he too can cleave your head from your shoulders."
The little laser breathed dragon made a noise at Max, clawing at the ground slightly and cocking his head at the human. Thus was the new new assignment? Okay fair enough.

Max took a moment to admire the small dragon that cocked his head at him, so this was to be his guard? He had heard and seen many other types of dragons in his life, but never one quite unique as the one that now held his head in it's scaled claws. Max turned to face Piper and spoke softly as he always did, making sure to never look her directly in the eye, a sign of respect amongst his people. "Aye, me Lady, the choice is your to make. Aye and Aye to is mearly grateful to have a place to rest this old bones of mine." he said with a slight smile. "Eye and Eye does not mean to pressume to much, but where would this shelter be, not inside the fortress I take it?" Turth be told Max had never been quite found of buildings, had always preffered to lay amongst green of Nature.

The ogre was all grins until teh little coq dragon was delivered. which made him frown and slump his shoulders some, lifted his hammer with one hand and going back to his partrols, grumbling under his breath.
Broog was working dilliogently, like he always did for Piper. He only referance the picture a few times, before a thread and gemstone Malvolence was working into the glove on the back of the hand, a blade length bow, and a tiny arrow crafted and placed accoringly. and then lots of silver thread and little golden metal feathers on the backing to boot. pretty just for the mistress.
"I do...we'll see what comes about. You may find that I have more value than you think. As for expanding my powerbase..that's not a help, nor a hinderance to you right now. and it coudl be a help in the future. Without the Earth Mother. it's the Sky Father who's power is greater. the power over the dead. and there's no Lloth to hinder things either."
Then a small smirk.
"But that's your choice, isn't it Kimmuriel?"
And a kick to the flank of Nightmare, before they faded into shadow, heading home.

She barely held in a chuckle at the ogre's behavior. "As much as you'd like to follow him around looking for the a chance to pulverize him, I'd much have something more compact and agile after him." Ogres, so sensitive sometimes when they didn't get to have thier fun. Well...at least this was taking her mind off of Malik...well a part of it...a whole other part was fixated on him. But attention back to Max. "Inside, outside...it doesn't matter to me. As long as you are within my perimeters, you are under my watch and rule." She turned and started out of the stables, but stopped and looked to him again. "Oh and don't touch my horses...they like to bite fingers."
Circa made a noise, sitting down and scratching at his scales a moment. Oh yeah this would be fun...well better than guarding a door he guessed. Eh it was worth it to be able to pad around and more or less stalk a person.

Max could not help but laugh at the comment about having his fingers removed by horses. He had his eye removed by giant lizards, this wouldn't be that much of a strange now would it? "Again me lady I thank thee for ye Hospitality, eye and eye will no bother be, I swear it." he said as he watched her make her way out of the stables, and was quick to follow, for all his bravado he was not reall in the mood to have his fingers removed by horses, or his head removed by a laser dragon for that matter. Max let out a powerful yawn and quicly scanned the grounds to which, at least for the moment, he was bound to. It did not take him long to find a outcropping of stones that would provide him sufficient shelter, and made his way towards them. Pausing for a moment, he turned and faced the dragon, "Aye, drago, ye coming?" he asked as he made his way to the outcropping, and made himself comfartable.

Circa merely followed in a dragon's skip behind, settling down when Max did and merely watching as was his little dragon duty.
Piper made her way back inside and then back downstairs, running a hand through her hair as she made her way, again somewhat slowly through the basement, and back to Broog. "Always a crisis." Though she didn't invade on him too much, letting him work. So by workings, that one symbol would be able to control a copy of itself imprinted on other things, so long as the metal she used was right. Made sense...after all, her own leash greatly resembled the imaging of her own collar. Quiz time. "Now Broog, what do you say to Malik if he asks about this?"

Kimmuriel laughed, "Saying things like that really makes me doubt your ability to lead anything, blue skined high elf." THe surface must have rotted Malik's brain. That, or dying so many times. "Go learn the local deity heirarchy before you make such outlandish claims." The drow sighed, and walked into the night.
He was going to hunt that cat the got the better of him in that ambush, but fled before the drow could kill it. It recently attacked King Jiscal, maybe it was still in Deep Water...
Probably not.

Broog looked up at Piper.
"Broog dunno. Mistrez just wanted a perty gloves."
That was the right answer, wasn't it?
Malik and Nightmare appeared back in the stables. and Malik dismounted. Kimmuriel often underestimated him he thought. without the Sky Father kept in check by the Earth mother...the power of the skyfather would increase. it was only logical. unless someone took the Earth Mother's place. just like he was sure one of the other dieties known to the drow would eventually take Lloth's. He was hoping to invite one of the Norrathian pantheon to take the Earth Mother's throne. Tunare, Goddess of Growth. Tunare would invariably attract Innoruuk's attention, and maybe his god woudl gain a little more stature.
This of course, provided that the comic pantheon here didn't alreayd have replacements in mind. and Omega..yes he's swiped that name and image from Kieran's thoughts. the hier apparent...without her father to control her actions, what was she going to do?
Of course his thoughts roamed to Nightmare, woudl was pawing and snorting rather loudly and kicking her stall. something had her up in a fuss..what was it?
