[Two of Pentacles] Azurra’s Adventure

[Stats]

Player: Azurra Sullivan.

Drow, Rogue, Level [1]

With the last of the Kobolds gone, she is now standing in the path with three bodies at her feet. *Little motherfuckers. Little asswipes. Welp, I am taking all their shit.* ((14 - 1 Search, if we need a roll

[A uncut Amethyst Starcut Moonstone 2 x Potions of Healing] *...Oh yeah. These are keepers. Yoink!* *And on the road she goes again.*

She can see she is getting closer to that building. Now she can see it looks to be a tower or castle at this distance with a large archway perhaps. *Aha. Visibility. I wonder what draws other Drow here... curiosity, perhaps? Some sort of allure? Doesn't matter. Whatever it is, I suppose I'll find out, since it looks like there's nothing else here for a few miles*

[roll a unmodded d20] ((11

As she grows closer to her destination, she can hear something familar crawling over the rocks behind her *More things? Well that's just fuckin' /dandy/ ain't it. Come at me scrublords, I'm ripped!*

It doesn't take long for three Stormclaws to crawl over the top of the rocks, followed behind by a single daunting snake. *Fuck's sake, again? Well, let's go you throbbing twats.*

(Everything in a one-square radius is blinded and I have full concealment until the end of my next turn ((And since that's a minor... *Then, under cover of inksplode, she does a deft twirl of the blade and brings it into the face of the scorpion she injured before rolling 1d20 + 6 (13)+6 =19 (hit rolling 1d4 + 11 (4)+11 = 15 ((plus Sneak Attack bonus rolling 2d8 (6+4) = 10 She kills it swiftly with a sickening crunch of blade severing chitlin and goo *Excellent (End turn rolling 1d20 + 6 (12)+6 = 18 vs fort ow rolling 1d4 + 3 (1)+3 =4 + on going 5 Poison [save ends] The viper has gotten closer Stormclaw A attempts to attack rolling 1d20 + 6 (1)+6 =7 vs. fort lol no ((okay so first off rolling 1d20 (7) =7 ((no save on either of those effects this go, drats. Second off, she chugs one of the potions she found earlier, and feels, at very least, much better for now. And thirdly, with another spin of the blade, she stabs at Scorpion A's head. rolling 1d20 + 6 (4)+6 =10 (if you want to move then do it now ((? (just saying if you want to take a move action then go do it. if not then I'll continue ((Ah, ye Let's just. Retreat for a moment. Stormclaw C comes after her rolling 1d20 + 6 (20)+6 = 26 [.....

[Battle End]

She runs through a cluster of rocks, feeling something tingles over her skin. Once she stops, she turns to see the creatures unable to cross a barrier of sorts. Looking around, she sees she's in a close cluster of rocks making a makeshift tunnel that blocks the falling sunlight to give a cool dim place to walk in. She can see the gates before her leading to a daunting palace. *Oh holy hell I think I made it.. to.. something. Whatever. Need to just keep walking and hope nothing /else/ tries to kill me.*

She makes it to the gates without incident. *Okay here. I made it... now, what do we have here?* ((17 + 4 Spot

It is a Gate. Its shaped and feels like a Gate. Fancy that. But in all seriousness it is made of dark oak it seems and in-lined with silver and opals. *Hmmm... let's see if we can't get this open, since there's nothing else in this wasteland to do.*

The Gate opens easily for her *in we go, then.*

Inside she finds it decked out in dark stone brick and decorated with a reed red carpets with purple veil curtians hanging all along the hallway *o-oh my.. this place is lovely. If this weren't so weird, this would be a lovely place to commandeer.*

There is a long hallway before her. There also seems to be sets of Armour flanking along the walls holding spears. *This is all very ornate... she walks down the hall, keeping a sharp eye out.*

At the end she comes to a large archway opening into a massive room. There are tall windows shaded by the purple veils in the hall, the rich carpet leading to a raised platform covered in pillows. There are more Armours and now Statues as well. She can also make out webs along the walls and near the high ceiling. One large web looking still intact and one would believe to be a excellent lounging area if you like that sort of thing *This is absolutely decadent. Surely a lovely place to rest, if she didn't need to be on her guard... she does, in fact, like that sort of thing. Let's just see if we can see anything too noteworthy...* ((16 + 4 spot

There is something sitting in that large web. *...! Well look at that. Is it living, or is it something else, however..?* ((check to ID?*

[[Nature ((and I just blew my 20

[Its a big honking Spider. Black in body with a red symbol on its belly. It turns and seems to sense she is there. Spinning some thread, the form sinks down to the floor to reveal that there is, to her prospective, a humanoid torso on the back of the spider body] *...?! Oh... oh dear. This is... this sure is something. I should probably know what this is but I don't. Okay just... play it cool.*

The strange spider person regards you silently, before breaking out in a smile. "Welcome" *she waves a bit* "Hello there."

They nod their head, before moving to the platform of pillows to lie in. "I hope the travel wasn't too much trouble. What brings you to the Surface? Escaping a crime from Under there? Needing to break free? Lost?" "Lost, I suppose... yourself?" *Best not to mention that she's not actually native to the underdark at all.*

"We are all Lost at one point. Do you have questions? I can answer what you may want to know" "Well let's start with the basics. Where exactly am I? I believe I came up the wrong exit when I was trying to return to my home."

She taps her chin a bit, then smiles. "You are in the Shadowlands. A Province to the County Duile. If you came up here, than you must have came from the old Manor place that used to house Refugees from the Underdark and help them get used to the life on the Surface. Now, you are in the City of Dorchadas where most of the residents on this place live. Sadly the smaller towns have become uninhabitable, but there are a few smaller villages starting up to try and make do for now. "Yes, that... sounds familiar. The house I came up in seemed abandoned for a very, very long time. It was very bleak.. bit of a shame, really. In its heyday it must have been lovely..."

"It once was. It was a thriving town back then. But after the tragic circumstance that befall this place, it was left stagnant for a long while." [2:49:50 AM] Zoramander: "Tragic circumstance?"

"You saw the rocks, yes?" "I did, yes. It was hard not to. They were everywhere."

"This place used to be connected to the mainland you see. There was a eruption from the Volcano that ended up splitting this place from there. The rocks and ash rained on the smaller villages that once laid close to the mainland. Everything covered in thick ash, the people were left in a petrified state. Like Statues. Those, like in this City, were spared of the Ash and only had to worry of the rocks. When I was young during that event...I came to have an accident" "I see... I won't intrude, if you don't wish to speak of it.. thank you for the information, though.. do you happen to know of a place to rest? It seemed like everything was raring to kill me out there... damned scorpions."

"You can rest here if you please. The City isn't all that active until after Sunset anyways. Being a Nocturnal City and all" "Thank you. I could certainly use it. It's been a long day and I've had to do more running than I would have liked. That last group of scorpions decided to bring a rattler with them. And then there were the kobolds. Cowards."

She frowns. "Kobolds. Yes there have been a few that have moved into this place. They like to ambush the Drow making their way here." She then smiles down to her. "Tell me...who might you be?" "Azurra Sullivan, ma'am. May I ask the same of you?"

"I am Lady Sakura. The Queen over this Province and one of the Six that help govern this Country." "Ah. Then I see I've come by to the right place." she finds a spot to take a seat, looking rather worn down from her travel. "Thank you for the hospitality. I suppose it must be rather clear by now that I'm here by complete accident. I had been down below trying to gauge the fashion sense of the Underdark. It was rather... intense, shall we say. I can't say I grew up down there, however. I was adopted very early on by a surface-goer, you see."

Sakura: Oh I could tell you were not from the Underdark, Azurra. So you are not sure what may have brought you here then? Azurra: Not a clue, ma'am. Not a clue. I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

Sakura: [She smiles, her eyes taking on a soft glint] Perhaps it was fate that lead you here.... Azurra: Heh... maybe. Mom talks a lot about fate and whatnot. She's kind of the magic-y sort, you know the kind.

Sakura: Indeed I do. [she pets the head of the spider, before slowy slipping off its back to sit on the pillows] She reaches for her legs, drawing them under herself and smoothing out her long gown and hair that is more framing her in long curtains of white Azurra: ...Lovely pet you have.

Sakura: Thank you. He has been a invaluable companion. He has been acting as my legs since I was little. Azurra: Mmm. Amazing, really, the help you find in companions like that.. so I've heard. I've never had, myself.

Sakura: ...Tell me. Azurra...do you have any plans as to what to do next? Azurra: No... this was meant to be a return trip. I was on my way home, and this... is quite clearly not my home. So, here I am, in a completely different country, no idea where's what or who's who... I guess I don't exactly have any plans, no.

Sakura: Then perhaps you could help me then Azurra: ...Oh?

Sakura: As you can assume, I have trouble making way to the mainland as such. Would you please go in my place to meet with the other Lords and Ladies like myself in my place? Azurra: ...I suppose I do have a bit of diplomatic experience on hand, so... yes, I believe I could do that.

Sakura: Oh thank you! [She lifts her hands to her hair, seeming to be looking for something] Now where did.... *that is some hella hair. Real pretty though, gotta give her that.*

Sakura:....aha! [she withdraws her hands, cupping them together] Here. It may be dangerous to go alone (( ♪♫ i's dangerous to go alone, taaake thiiiis ♪♫ *she takes it* ?

She is holding a Chameleon Azurra: Oh.. thank you.

Sakura: His name is Oningu. He will help you so don't worry [she smiles brightly] Azurra: Help would certainly be appreciated, yes... *she pets him a little* Thank you for allowing me rest, by the way.. I could use it. *she motions down to the various stab wounds on her person*

Sakura: Oh dear....Oningu? The small lizard looks down at the wounds, before wriggling from her grasp and climbing over her body. One by one he visits each wound and slingshots his tongue against it. There is a sharp moment of pain quickly followed by a wave of soothing sensation. If she looks, she will see her wounds healing Azurra: Ooh that smarts...and... now it doesn't... oh yeah. I needed that. I.. /really/ needed that.

Sakura; I hope he helps you...and in turn you may help him more than I could. Azurra: I'll sure try, ma'am.

Sakura: Well. Rest well. You can sleep anywhere you like in this room. The webbing, the pillows, anywhere you like. I wish you good day. Oningu, please behave. The lizard climbs to Azurra's shoulder and looks back to Sakura. Waiting for a long pause, the lizard opens his maw and speaks. "As you wish, Milady" Azurra: *tiny smile* Good day to you too, ma'am. *A talking lizard and a resting place. Overall despite almost dying twice, still a better day than the last few at the end of it all. She curls up in the pile of pillows now and settles in to rest.*
