"sure, we'll talk afterwards." Edna said and wrapped her arms around the other female, dragging her down onto the bed next to her with a kiss. then things started to get fun.

[hr]
FADE TO BLACK
lots of kissing, wet noises, a few moans and screams later...
FADE BACK TO NORMAL
[hr]
Edna had left the other female a twitching mess of bliss on the bed, herself panting a bit and extremely satisfied. "You ok Veronica?" she said; then it dawned on her that she hadn't actually given the woman her name. "I'm Edna by the way." she said with a smirk and a peck on the cheek.

 

[Lunar Templar]

"Never better" Veronica said around deep breaths and a contented smile "I do wanna find who evers been saying sex being something to wait till marriage for, and fry them for the outright lie though" she added as Edna introduced her self finally "Well Edna, it is me great pleasure to met you" kissing Edna on the lips, and ponder for a moment who that sweet taste on her lips belonged to. "I shall be blunt, I want you to make me like you."

Veronica said after a moment of silence after the kiss broke "I am willing to be in your service for some time to met this end, as your blood downer, as I've read beings such as your self favor virgin blood" Veronica pondered that a moment "Least I think it works that way long as I've not been taken by a man" giving a light shrug "and as your lover should you desire me as such, and I'd hope you would" she said with a grin that said 'Ok, you got me, I'd sleep with you for nothing but a good time after last night' "You need not answer right away, there is time between now and when we finish this quest to acquire your mushrooms, but please do think on it."

 

[mcpop9]

Edna thought for a minute about her offer. "Well, i'll take you on as an apprentice to me, teach you my herbalism if you would like. and as for the vampirism, you haven't earned it yet. When you will, i do not know, but you will earn it one day." she said, snuggling up close. "And yes, your blood is a bit sweeter because it's virgins. And i'd love to take you on as my lover, you're so fun to play with." she said before sneaking down under the blankets for round two.

The next morning.

Edna came out fro underneath the covers. "finally done." she said, looking up at the passed out Veronica. "Whoops..."

 

[Lunar Templar]

Veronica lay there, out like a light though a smile on her face from last nights 'events'

 

[hiei82]

Lyra, ignoring most of what the woman had to say about mushrooms, rented her own private room at the Inn. She didn't have a problem with the other, unknown people per say - they could be perfectly respectable people for all she knew - but shared rooms didn't lend themselves well to her condition. The odds that she would lose control on this particular night were slim - she hadn't had an episode in months, but she wasn't going to risk it if she didn't need to.

What more, Lyra didn't like the idea of taking the charity of the woman when she had no intention of accepting the offer. She didn't have anything against the woman either, but she was here for much more important reasons than the collection of mushrooms - even apparently valuable ones.

As she entered the little private room, Lyra could only sigh. Another false lead. Not that this was something new - if she'd ever had a good lead she obviously wouldn't be here - but she'd of course hoped it would be different. Having little else to do, she went to bed until morning.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Veronica stirred a bit then reluctantly opened her eyes. She was still kinda tired, but she felt good so it evened out in her mind. "'Morning" she said to Edna, whom she found still between her legs and pulled into a 'good morning' kiss "Last night, wow, I don't have the words for how good I feel right now" she said with a rare smile.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

The conversation between Auron and the Eloc had lasted a little while longer, with them discussing mostly about what the purpose of the mission was. It was briefly disturbed by a strange noise that came from upstairs, but due to its odd nature, neither of them could figure out what it was. Eventually though, Auron noticed that the Eloc's eyes looked like they were getting heavy, so they decided to call it a night.

It was in the early hours of the morning when Auron woke up. He opened and closed his eyes several times so they could get adjusted to the light, which was coming through a small window that was opposite his bed as it were. Looking around he saw that the Eloc was up and awake, and looked like she was doing some early morning exercise. Suddenly he could feel a slight pain in his head, which he attributed to the alcohol he drank last night; after shaking his head a couple of times, the pain appeared to have gone.

Auron soon got up from off the bed and gathered up his things, before giving a quiet "Good Morning." to the Eloc on his way out and into the main tavern area, where he sat down at a nearby table and began to wait for the others. He would have went to investigate the strange noise, but he decided not to bother anyone who might be still asleep.

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Kane jerked awake and began looking around the room. Marra was still sitting beside him, and two of the other patrons were awaking. Last night had turned out to just be a dream, thankfully.

Marra heard her master beginning to move, and began rechecking her cloak.

Kane patted her head affectionately as got off the bed and stood up.
He looked at the others in the room, said "Good Morning" and then began pulling his armour on.

 

[hiei82]

When Lyra awoke, it was to the sounds of a bird outside her window. Glancing around the room, she saw no signs of damage or destruction, so she sighed in relief. While a lack of destruction was the norm, appearing almost every morning, it was the the fact she needed to say "almost" that kept her on edge.

She quickly got out of bed and ready for the day. She made her morning prayers than went downstairs to the mostly empty tavern.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Saver of Ashes woke with start from a dream in which his entire former tribe chased him around with whips made of knotted wooden penises. He checked his wards. None of them had been tripped during the night. Then he checked his person, no injuries he could detect through the naked eye or magic.

He headed for the tavern.

----

One uneventful walk later.

Saver of Ashes walked in and found Lyra coming down the stairs as he came in from the front door.

"Ah," he said, "Good morning, Lyra. Did you sleep well?"

 

[Kalastryn]

Spoiler: New character?

Name: Mayda Totaka

Race: Goblin

Vision: low-light

Alignment: Neutral Good

Class/Profession: Arcane/Mechanical inventor, or as she prefers to call it, "Artificer"

Inventory: Carries a crossbow she rigged herself to be able to fire three bolts before reloading, not needing to buy bolts typically as she usually casts a spell to duplicate a pair of them she carries in her pockets. What separates her from any normal marksman, however is not only her skill with machinery, like locks and traps, but also her unique spell-book. You see she was never one to throw fireballs or summon dimensional doors. Her spell-book involves spells of summoning. However she uses this instead to call in previous inventions, a couple of her favorites being an iron defender, essentially a mechanical watch dog, which she likes to call gear-grinder, and a lightning rod that has the opposite effect of attracting lightning, and emits moderately powerful sparks, with settings that could make it as powerful between one of those prank electric pens, to about 5 eighths as strong as a wizards thunderbolt, requiring more time to gather energy depending on how much it exerts.

Biography: Mayda was always the odd one out in her family of smiths. They were all showed very good craftmanship, herself included. What really separated her from her family were two things. Firstly, she was fascinated with magic. She never mastered more than the basics of the lowest ranks of wizards though, and ultimately decided to give up on what was already known, and study instead what she calls "Patterns of Magic." By this, she means essentially to craft her own spells, treating magic as if it were a science meant to be experimented with.

Also, as much as she enjoyed to study, she was dead set from age 5 on the conclusion that a workshop or a life as a blacksmith, just wasn't for her. Not due to lack of skill as stated earlier, but rather because she had a few desires that sort of life couldn't fulfill. Namely wanting to see as many different horizons as she can. She's no average tourist, however. Money still needs to be made, so she often finds her skills in commission by random strangers from time to time. She doesn't always let the law get in the way of this though, and is honestly more interested in what's right and good rather than what some leader says people can and can't do.

and so, after a day's travel south from Happy Apples, she finds herself where she is now.

Waking up from her own night's sleep, in a much less comfortable place than the shared room the rest of her old group had stayed in... They probably figured it best to leave the Goblin out of their sleeping quarters... which she'd have been fine with, if she didn't walk up to the room they had stayed in, the room across the hall from the shared room that Edna had rented for herself and some of the tavern's patrons... to find that the payment from their last task, as well as any signs of her so called "friends" were gone. She whispers to herself "Well I'll be damned, and people are usually worried about me being the backstabber... feels weird being on the other end of the table." Not that she'd ever been a traitor in any sense of the word to people she felt she could trust. However, she was honestly surprised, and not in any positive way, that they were more than just paranoid of her, and instead decided to be the ones to screw her over.

 

[hiei82]

"Good morning, Lyra. Did you sleep well?" the goblin wizard from the night before said as she was making her way downstairs. She shrugged her shoulders in response, saying "Could have been worse."; a statement that was both infallibly true and vague enough to be meaningless. It wasn't that she minded the little goblin asking; just that it was next to impossible for her to sleep well and she certainly didn't want to get into the details.

"And yourself?" she asked, quickly; keeping the conversation going as she made her way toward a table.

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Kane finished readying himself and walked out of the room, Marra stayed behind to watch the majority of his gear. He walked down the hall into the main and saw three others. The mix-blood, the goblin, and the cleric.

As he was walking in, he heard the mix blood say "Morning everyone. Good night sleep?" sounding painfully cheery.
He simply said "Yeah." as he walked past her and sat down at a nearby table.

He's not adverse to talking it's just that he's hungry, he just woke up, and he doesn't know these people.

 

[Kalastryn]

Mayda let out a sigh and started walking to the tavern below. As she did, she overheard the mix-blooded woman offer a mornings greetings. Whether it was to a specific group of people or otherwise, she decided now, with only a few pieces of gold left seeing as she was stiffed her share of her last task, she cuts in... to the overly cheery woman, "The morning would be a lot better if I had enough money for both my three meals of the day, and a place to sleep that isn't the side of the road... you wouldn't happen to know where I can find any work by any chance?" She asked sporting her unloaded crossbow slung across her back. It didn't look too much an impressive device at first glance, being only about the size to a human of a child's toy model of a crossbow. Upon closer inspection, however, it appeared to have been modified to the size and with another attachment, and was actually functional.

"I don't quite care about what the job entails so long as the pay is decent, and it's not something too vulgar... I wouldn't need too much money out of the deal, just a decent amount for the next few days... you see I'd have much more than I currently have this morning... if my previous team weren't both early risers and money grubbing backstabbers. Complaining about it doesn't pay the bills though, so long story short, I'd do any job for half the price of the rest of the group, so long as I get something." She said, trying her best not to seem like a beggar, but trying to stress that she was far from a position of wealth.

 

[Outcast107]

Ghost awoke early in the morning to find that he was the last one there. Checking his belonglings to make sure no one stole anything from him while he slept. Once finish and finding thing missing he headed downstairs with the rest of the group. Seein them gathering around ready for breakfast. Smiling as he was also hungry and hope the place also serve good breakfast. Finding a spot to sit down as he waits for the day to start.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

Auron watched carefully as one by one others started to emerge from their respective rooms into the main area of the tavern, with some engaging in a little light conversation; including what looked like a Goblin wizard acting rather amicable towards a rather interesting looking woman. Her outfit looked like something a priestess would wear, but she showed signs of something more.

"...you wouldn't happen to know where I can find any work by any chance?" A female goblin asked the Eloc who seemed to be in a rather cheerful mood at such an early time of the morning. The crossbow that she carried looked to be a little on the small side, but upon closer inspection looked to be rather detailed.

"Apologies for the interruption Miss, but as a matter of fact, some work has recently become available. A Gnoblin Alchemist has put in a wanted ad for some budding opportunists to go on a little mushroom gathering job at a cave somewhere near here. The pay is apparently 1 gold piece per mushroom brought back. Any and all interested parties were told to meet here for more information."

 

[TheDoctor455]

Saver of Ashes thought he detected slight annoyance in her voice when she answered him. Not a morning person then, got it.

"And yourself?" she said, surprising Aahz a little. Not the first time someone had feigned concern or interest in how he was doing, but... first time he could just about believe it was genuine.

"Okay, I guess. Sleeping on a grassy knoll does wonders for my back," he said as he stretched and shook the rocks off of his back, which tumbled out of his robes and onto the floor before disappearing. Yes, he did indeed cast a minor conjuration cantrip just for a joke. "So, umm... what do humans eat for breakfast anyway? I find myself curious enough to try anything right now. My treat."

 

[Kalastryn]

Mayda was glad she could find work so soon after coming to the tavern. In her experience they were great places to find work... but what was this about mushrooms? Then Mantha jumped in with her questions.

"Well it's not all hand crafted, but the modifications I made were done with care, so it is technically my work. Essentially it fires multiple times by re-stringing itself after fired, and this little chamber I have up here above the loading space holds three bolts at a time, dropping them in after I hit the trigger. In short, it reloads itself with whatever bolts I put into the chamber, and I can ensure they're well made" She said as she pulled out a bolt from her pocket. She then closed it in her hand, and when she re-opened it there were four, exactly identical bolts. "You see I crafted this bolt in particular myself, so I know it's well made. I simply use a quick conjuration spell to duplicate it, basically meaning I'll never have to buy ammo for it so long as I keep this in hand." She said as she gave the original one a kiss on the tip to show appreciation for that fact, putting it back in her pocket. She then put the other three in a thin rectangular box held in place above where the bolts go.

Then she got back on the topic of the mushrooms. Turning back to Auron she said. "So 1 gold piece for each mushroom? Well I'll be damned, must be pretty important to them... need some sort of medicine out of it? You did say they were an alchemist, so I'm just assuming."

 

[mcpop9]

"When you have nearly two thousand years of time behind you, you tend to get good at things like that." The vampiress said and hopped out of bed, getting dressed. It wasn't long before she was ready to venture out in daylight, cloak over her head and body covered.
"See you down there lover." she said to veronica and left the room.

Getting down to teh inn's tavern, she went and sat at the bar. The gnoblin overheard what mayda was talking about, knowing she wasn't there last night, the gnoblin joined in. "yes, that would be me. 1 gp a pop, they're rather important to me for their medicinal qualities towards my skin condition." she explained as breakfast was brought out to everyone. eggs over easy with strips of meat and a bowl of sweet porridge that seemed to fit perfectly with the morning meal. Then there was a pretty good glass of apple juice as well.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Saver of Ashes sat down next to Edna, and signaled to the innkeeper that he'd take anything for breakfast at the moment.
While waiting for it to arrive, he fished around in his pack for his pipe and his special herbal blend. Its for medical reasons. Just ask him! He stuffed the herbs into the pipe, and lit it up with, almost literally, a snap of his fingers.

He started puffing and inhaling some smoke, careful not to get too much of it in Edna's face. The bartender and other patrons besides Lyra could fend for themselves.

"Good morning... Edna, was it? Hope you slept well" he paused to take in a few more puffs of smoke, "You know, you still haven't explained why you want the mushrooms, let alone why you need a priest and someone who speaks Draconic for this job. Seems like you could hire just about any idiot and get the same results. Sorry, but something about this just doesn't add up. Also... I just noticed, there are no mirrors in this place. Odd, most innkeepers use them to keep an eye on patrons to make sure they aren't cheating him or each other. Or starting a fight. Hmm..."

He scratched his chin thoughtfully.
