"I hope we can find the Oracle fast," Kit says before reclining onto a stack of pillows. "We need to seek both the Oracle and the treasure that was stolen by the first vampire. Should we tell our whole story love?" she asked Dukalu.

"Peace, paladin! I may have shown some willingness to talk, but that does not mean I am comfortable telling all. Perhaps another day, when I know you all better and can make better judgement of you. I've trusted to easily a time or two along my path here, I will not make that mistake so easily again. I mean no direct offense of any here, for you have shown some honor in fighting for the girl, though I now question how helpless she truly was. But honesty and honor seem to be a scarce commodity among you lowlanders, so I will wait and see if your actions hold true."

He reaches a hand to caress the Captain's cheek, "Yes dear. You are much better than I at phrasing a story. It seems there are many common threads to stories around this table, and we have no time for holding secrets. The Goliath obviously can hold his."

"Some secrets are lodged within wounds, pretty boy. Care must be taken with them, lest you rip open something that need not be suffered without good reason," I growl, giving the little man a warning glare.

Chuckling as she knows how odd this story is, "That is debate-able love. Alright, strap yourselves in and save all questions until the end. We be pirates of course. I personally hail from Aum as crew member until they mutinied and we traveled to Maxal in Payit. From there, I joined The Skulker under Captain Elena Lampbright and Dukalu was her first mate. I joined seeking a purpose to life.

"Here's where the seas get rocky. Uhti, the Mistress of Darkness, called upon me."
She played with her crystal focus in her hands. "Uhti is the patron who gave me my powers. She also told me that I am the reincarnated goddess Kiltzi, which so far has proven true. Dukalu here was in training to be an Eagle Knight, but didn't take his oath. We fell in love, probably at first sight, and got married. He made an oath to me and now, well you all saw his sword. He draws his power from me so he's a Fox Knight. We really should consider adornments like Eagles have dear.

"The captain wanted to steal the ivory codex from the cave elves, the bats, and tried to use me to do so. She wanted to use it to unlock a map to get the Crucible of the Gods that the First Man stole at the beginning of time. Uhti wants us to get it before she can as it's a level of power that the vile, devil vampire doesn't need to obtain. We fought her and all we have to show for it is a scribbled on parchment and the knowledge of her going to the Oracle of Nulu. I don't think I missed anything. Oh, I'm now captain of her ship."
She smiles as if this story is completely normal and not at all something strange to hear.

"Oh calm yourself Stormslayer, he didn't mean anything by it other than you may hold your secret while you're unsure. It will probably need to be shared once you're comfortable if we're to figure out the whole picture of what's happening here." She looks over at Duke with an amused expression, "You are a very pretty boy though."

"Ha! I like you, Kitty girl! Or should I call you Fox Lady?" I bark, as I grin at the two of them, hopefully softening my previous anger with humor. "I agree, your pretty boy should have a tail!"
Aug 18, 2020 8:05 pm
Laughing uncontrollably at the mental image that Stormslayer just gave her, "That idea is magnificent! Do you want a red tail or a gray tail?"

"This self same Captain Lampbright is a vile vampire that I have served for years. Kit's story is true and now I see the vampire for what she is. She must be stopped. She has the map and we the codex, but she says that the Oracle of Nula can solve the map and find Camazotz without the codex. Pray tell, I was told one of you might know where Nula, God of seeds and sprouts woudl reside or keep an oracle."

"Funny. I believe my wardrobe selection can wait. The tide goes out at dawn." He kisses Kit's hand, "Thank you for telling the story."

"Look. Our story is true. Here is the imprint of the codex."

I feign interest in the others melodrama as I await the tea and sweets.

OOC:
Forget the codex, what is that strange looking metal and rubber contraption on the side? ;)
Aug 18, 2020 8:23 pm
"Maggie, NO! Leave the tiny monkeys alone!" I spit out, as I notice she is investigating them a little too closely. "Isn't it time for you to go ba--"

Poof! The Magma Mephit disapears.

"--ck... Okay, I guess that works."

Must be a halfling's butt plug with tail, and no, Dukalu is not wearing it.

Not sure what kinda creature has a tail that looks like that. Don't think I want to know, either.

I take a moment to look over the codex, trying to make heads or tails of it... never one to shy away from a good puzzle.

Your intelligence really shines on puzzles. You can see the imprint marks of the ivory cylinder that must have had these strange embossed shapes, circles and x's that made indentions when rolled out onto a soft parchment.

You have enough knowledge of history to know these three large symbols are god glyphs.

Insight into why these marks are made, you do not have.

"Well, I hate to disappoint, but I know not where to direct you. It must be another in this groups that is spoken of. But your puzzle does intrigue me. Do we know which gods these glyphs represent?" I rumble, deep in thought.
