Suddenly the road open up, and before them looms a massive mansion embedded into a heart stopping enormous tree that canopies over them. Ivy and ferns grew through the crevices of the old winding stone path, which led directly to the colossal structure. The mansion loomed proudly behind creaky iron gates, flanked by rows of bright trees of rainbow leaves, swaying gently in a warm summer breeze.
You do not find yourself standing in front of the mansion like you would hope, but rather, staring at the large iron gates of a hedge maze in the back courtyard, a wild garden blooming in eye blinding brilliance in front of you.
Sink (S/T): Cal/7/Enigma/Hepsie — 10/04/2020
A medium sized elf with black hair walks among the hedges, seeming to be checking the outer layers of the maze. A satchel swings on their side, full of gardening tools. They pause when they see the party and the wagon suddenly appear. "Themis Skellien of House Skellien. Who might you all be with my friend Esmerelda here?"
Smiling widely Themis Skellien regards Es. "Ahh Esmeralda my dear, so lovely to finally see you again. Did your trip tire you hmm??"
As the words are leaving another tone can be heard throughout her mind. Do not worry, follow my lead and I will guide you.

"Pleasure to meet you, Themis. Any friend of the Daughter of Jaelle is a friend of ours!" She turns her attention to the mansion looming in the distance. "Oh, do these gardens belong to Alaneon, by any chance? They're breathtaking!"

This reaction is only slightly tapered by the appearance of another maze in front of him. His shoulders slump a slight bit as they stop with the wagon, but quickly regains his composure as he is introduced to the new individual.

Smiling widely Themis Skellien bows deeply. "Nice to meet you all, I heard Alaneon was having quite the gimmick, mortal caterers at his party. Ah! have you seen the Gardens from the gazebo here? It is to die for let me give you a quick tour." *Walking to an enormous gazebo, Skellien looks around at the gathering people before launching into a full verbal history of elven structure. Another voice once again can be heard in all their minds.
“Your magic will not work here as I've discovered, it seems Alaneon doesn't completely trust you non-fey. I have found that the entrance to the servants quarters through the western side of the mansion. Just here is the entrance to the hedge maze, I have seen different individuals disappearing into there as well. From what I can tell whatever is tampering with magic in the maze, as right before someone disappears within, I could feel my magic increase. As far as the servants themselves they are all fitted with collars of some sort, where they get them put on I do not know."
“Ah but I have bored you enough and I bet Shian’ta is growing ever so tired. Hope to see you folks later on for more of the...Festivities…” Themis bows again.

"Ah, Themis...I do not suppose you have seen the rest of our....caterers?

The last wisp of a thought reaches Esmeralda as Themis disappears.
"What you have is a lesser version...no need to do anything they will find each other."

Having listened to the information Afhiri, thought it over. They had to find the others, but the wagon couldn't be left alone. She watched the ground keeper walk off before glancing toward the western side of the mansion.
"Perhaps, we walk around and find the servants door, because we will have to use that to get the food inside? Then we can see about finding the others from there...just walking into this place with a wagon seems rude and I don't feel comfortable leaving it here either." Looking between them.

As the party walks along the backside of the mansion, heading west as they were instructed, they find it's a long trek to even get near were this overly large mansion ends, hundreds of feet of pulling this full wagon while surrounded by the most fantastical swaying colors. Finally, you all find a ramp leading to a wooden door wedged into the almost small alcove. The ramp is certainly large enough for a wagon, and the door is currently closed. (indicated with the red outline)

Ellie stows the tracker away back in her bag now that she understands how it works but not wanting to draw attention to them as they make the trek across to the west. Helping to push the cart along and taking in the sight of the grounds as they go, quite enjoying the walk despite the circumstances, Ellie perks up at the sight of the ramp leading up to the door. "Oh, this is probably the servant's entrance Themis mentioned. Shall we make our presence known, then?"
Her usual warm grin somehow intensifies as her entire demeanor shifts to 'customer service mode', her tail lowering to her ankles instead of excitedly swaying to and fro, and she knocks on the door.

Loud footsteps are heard from the other side of the door, before they are both ripped open. As if the doors were holding back a while different world, a cacophony of sound explodes from inside, a kitchen in pure panic. You all find yourselves staring up (even Ursu) at a creature made of pure bone, wicked sharp claws gripping the wood. A thick black collar clunks against it's clavicle, nestled between the large spines growing out of it's back. It stares at you for a moment, before a sudden sharp voice rings in everyone's heads.
"Are you the humanoid caterers? About time you arrived. Is this all of you?" The creature grunts, a hissing clicking nails on a chalkboard noise. "You smell terrible, get in here, get that wagon in storage so we can start unloading."
The long clawed hand gestures for them to follow, leading them inside. To the right, you see a storage room filled with straw and all kinds of containers, buckets, and shelves stuffed with food sits open between the kitchen and what turns into servant’s quarters.
To the left, a brightly colored kitchen explodes with sounds and movement, glittering sprinkles and flying objects screaming in every direction. A large creature make of bones and spikes yells out in guttural words, seeming to orchestrate this flying cacophony that blurs the air around the colorful tiles and three enormous stoves going at full bore. If one looks closely, they can almost see the tiny flying creatures filling the room as they work.
Jerald(H/H) Ur/Rol/Psalm/Eimsury — 10/04/2020
Ursu cocks an eye as he hears the loud footsteps approaching from behind the door. When the doors are ripped out he makes the very unfamiliar movement of craning his neck up to peer at the creature made of bone, his eyes visibly widening at it. Along with the loud chaos of the kitchen behind it, the sound of the sharp voice in his head causes not only Ursu's ears to twitch, but to wince a bit from its harshness. "Yes, that would be us, though there should be a few more of us arriving, they are apparently coming from just south of here," Ursu watches as the creature gestures for them to follow, which he goes helping pull the wagon.
As he walks along he takes note of all that is happening around him, or what he can truly make of it with sensory overload. He had never worked in a kitchen before, but walking through here made him glad of that fact with the hustle and bustle that seemed rather never ending for preparation. He helps move it back into the storage area for the unpacking to begin.

Es flinches as the noise assaults her like a physical presence. She's never been fond of loud noises. Or kitchens. But here she is. She makes the decision to assume her role of bodyguard to Ellie once the wagon is properly disposed of. She helps move it into position in the storage area

The loud foot falls and more so the sound and sight behind the door that are revealed cause Afhiri to blink back more confused awe. Never had she been ready for so much visual oddities. The voice in her head, not so much a bother. Blinking away to find her calm again she looked to Ursu as he spoke. That sounded about right to her. Helping the wagon into the storage space and stepping back before looking to the bone creature.
"Where would you like us to unload things to?" Trying to spot a space for the food in the chaos of the kitchen.

The grunt of chittering grinding nails on a chalkboard happens again, followed by the voice in their head. "Start going on out through that doo-HEY Not that one, over here- YOU that's burning- don't fucking flit away- get that plated." The bone creature (DC 15 arcana check if you want to know) uses it's tail to orchestrate the flitting tiny creatures zooming about, before it's focus returns to the group.
"That door there. Giant table right outside. Can't miss it, even with your eyes." The voice in their head growls, before it points to the door on the far east wall. (Anyone who attempts to deliver food through the kitchen must make a DC 15 DEX save.)

Ellie grabs a nice platter of food, eager to be helpful as always. Stepping into the carefully orchestrated chaos that was the kitchen, she almost makes it to the other side before she is smacked dead in the face by one of the kitchen staff. the creature squeaks in shock, and four bright lights explode from the pixie dust that covers Shae, floating into the air around her. The pixie screeches in Sylvan, for any who understand. (Ellie now has dancing lights around her for 1 minute.)
"Watch where you're going to big oaf! I'm going to burn the soup because of you! Look at you with your soft cheeks though!" The pixie squeezes Ellie's cheeks and runs off with a cackle at a gripe from the bone creature.

Screaming internally at the sight of the bone creature but keeping the pleasant smile on her face, she nods and gets to work. Then, SMACK. Dazed for a moment she shakes her head and immediately clutches the platter of food tighter to keep it from dropping to the floor. "OH my goodness, I am so sorry, how clumsy of me, are you alright?!"
There is a delightful melodic chatter from the pixie and her cheeks are pinched before the creature leaves her, somehow more confused than she started. "Uhm, okay, sorry again! Okay, Ellie, focus up..." she trails off muttering to herself as she continues along with the tray.

He makes it a few steps inside, getting about halfway through the room before a pixie slams into his gut with surprising force, hard stopping him in his tracks as pixie dust explodes everywhere and goes right up his nose. The small creature clutches their head, looking up at Ursu dazed and screaming in Sylvan. "Owie! You're a big ole meanie, out out out!" The creature flitters off, and suddenly Ursu's feet float off the ground. (Ursu is under the effects of the fly spell for 10 minutes)

Esmerelda and Ahfiri have no trouble getting through the kitchen, easily ducking and weaving past the pixies, the bone creature, Ellie, and even Ursu. They all finally emerge out into the back of the throne room, finding themselves staring an a gigantic table covered in food that seems far too saturated to focus on, as if everything glowed with its own light. Fruits, meats and flowers all seemed the wrong color, even though their shapes were recognizable A bare spot sits on the far end of the table, awaiting their mortal food.
The throne room is a display in pure open opulence. Perfectly carved pearlescent stone coats the large room from ceiling to floor, with four enormous fountains lining a decadent carpet that leads directly to an enormous throne. Made of pure black metal that shimmered with undulating light, the throne sits on a 5ft pedestal, surrounded by curious rainbow hued mushrooms.

Seeing the bare spot, she heads for it and puts it down. It's very strange to see Rasi's best efforts look....pale and wan...in comparison to the other foods.

She puts a finger to her chin and digs some sprigs of lavender and rosemary out of her bag, arranging them between the platters to help tie it all together.

As they come around the corner, they do spot a wide area, and a small center platform with a giant gorgeous flower upon it.
Two sit back to back, gently swaying in the gentle breeze of the maze so thick with flowers there is nothing but the smell of nectar. Interestingly enough, there are thick black bands around each of their bodies. (DC15 nature check if curious about the flower)
The clearing goes 60ft, before it turns around another corner, out of sight.
Dani/Leafa (She/Her) — 10/11/2020
Upon turning the corning and laying eyes on the beautiful large flower, Leafa pauses the group for a moment before lowering her voice, immediately recognizing it from her extensive study on flowers
"That is a uhm...a Tri-Flower Frond...very not good to be around...w-we should stick to the wall and go around it, as long as we don't get too close I think we'll...be fine.."
As Leafa begins to lead them past it, sticking very close to the hedge wall as she side-steps towards the next corner. For a moment she looks at the flower...it...would be pretty nice to study...she'd never seen one up close and it's so pre-leAFA NO. She shakes her head at the thought and keeps moving, keeping a tight yet comfortable grip on both Ursu's and Jinora's hands.
Sink (S/T): Cal/7/Enigma/Hepsie — 10/11/2020
As Leafa tries to slowly walk past the flowers, but they immediately stop swaying as she walks past. One of the red flowers on the first one reach out with long tendril like stamin, but they pat the ground blindly in front of Leafa. The second one shudders at being disturbed, and lets out a plume of pollen. Leafa is quick to cover her mouth and does not breath it in, making it around the corner.

Ursu moves through the maze with the two of them. Oh how he dreaded mazes. If he felt he could get away with it, he would have probably cut his way through, but getting a handle on how this realm behaves, he realized that there would most likely be consequences.
Ursu saw the flower and find it quite a lovely sight. He wondered if Illari had such a thing in his sketch book? He noticed Leafa immediately lowering her voice and showing a great deal of trepidation around the plant. Ursu looked over at it and followed her lead along the wall. He noticed the plume of pollen and his eyes go a bit wide in worry, but is glad to see her quick enough to avoid inhaling whatever the substance would have done before they continued on their way.

Ursu sees that the flowers reacted to Leafa, and assumes this means they won't bother him. I mean, they already moved once, right? Except the thing has six heads total and only two moved.
Leafa and Jinora watch as both of the red flower heads move, their long stamin whipping out and wrapping around each of Ursu's arms. They both begin to pull, ripping Ursu back and forth in a wild tug of war as they fight over who has rights to the body. Ursu feels the sticky poison from both bite into his skin. ( 4 points of bludgeoning, 10 points of poison damage. Escape DC 11)
Lion(Fae):Kalamä|Röe|Jin|Rid|Bow — 10/11/2020
tediously counting steps as they go in her head as she follows.. slowing when she sees Leafa slow down before seeing the flower & wishing this was a time she could sketch with it being so beautiful.. she simply gives a nod. SHIT she lost count... before closing her eyes to concentrate & remember ahh better now.. ok umm Eastward.. 132.. 133.. 134..
she watches Ursu begin to try to get through a bit nervously before BAM he's caught.. shes nervously says "ooohh you hate to see it. Ummm You got this right?!" without missing a beat Jinora pulls out 4 black marbles from her pockets tossing them to the left side & waiting for just a second before running on the right side of the flower hoping that she wont be experiencing the same thing... 145.. 146.. 147...
Sink (S/T): Cal/7/Enigma/Hepsie — 10/11/2020
Jinora has a nice laugh at Ursu's expense, and seems to be paying too much mind to the marbles and counting. When the other flower shudders and releases a plume of pollen, they accidentally breathe it right in. Leafa and Ursu watch as Jinora falls face first into the soft grass covered ground, before soft snores can be heard coming from them.

"O-okay so...past this corner looks li-guys?" She looks back and her eyes widen as she sees Ursu is currently being used as a tug of war rope and Jinora has been forced to take a nap. She blinks a few times.
".....Damn it-sorry!"
Not wanting to leave her friends behind she takes her bag off, and grabs from it her starlight sickle. She then takes a piece of cloth from the bag and wraps it around her face as well to act as a mask. Moving a bit closer before spinning the chain a bit and quickly attempting to throw the sharp end to cut and knock the flower off the platform and onto the opposite side of the open space where it hopefully won't be able to reach
Sink (S/T): Cal/7/Enigma/Hepsie — 10/11/2020
As the sickle sinks into the thick plant like body of the creature, it shudders, and suddenly an ear piercing scream is heard, ripping through the maze from the flower as it thrashes about. There is a sudden deathly silence to the maze, and then the sound of thudding footsteps.

Ursu, now free from what it must feel like to be a dog's chew toy, looks down at the sleeping Jinora. He could think of a number of things he could say now in response to her comments, but being that she was asleep, Ursu would have to wait until later. However, this trail of thought was caught off by the sound of thudding feet which slowly transformed into the ground shaking and Ursu realized it was time to act fast. He picks up Jinora and carries her over to the mass of boxes, hoping to obscure them from whatever made their rapid approach as he crouches down.

Leafa, for a moment, breaks the 4th wall and looks at the camera/audience very blankly before going back to reality and looking back to yell for Ursu to hide, but seeing he's already moving to makes her smile.

He strings together of Vatz curses under his breath as he realized their options were dwindling and he wasn't at his optimal with the magic suppressor taking out his belt of fire giant strength. His teeth extend as he snarls a bit. He unlatches his Glaive as he positions for an attack. "I suspect hiding won't do us much good as we hope. I don't know about you, but I'm going to try and fight through. If you're with me, go on my mark." (Readies an attack action)

They look panicked, and distraught, seeing the sap leaking from the writhing body of the giant flower. A roar of pained anger comes the creature. "No, Blossy! WHO?" The large creature, tries to pat 'Blossy back together, making distressed noises as the sap continues to leak out. And then they look up, their eyes locking on the group hiding behind the boxes, tall enough to easily see over them.
"YoU YOU HURT BLOSSY!!!" The creature roars in anger, slamming their club on the ground and charging them.

Ursu sees the large beast come into view before checking on the plant, seeming to become quite sad at its mutilation which we will blame nobody for but we all know who did it. The sight is actually a rather sad one as the ogre becomes incredibly upset as he turns to them and shows his unbridled rage.
Ursu is ready to attack when he hears Leafa whisper to him. He gives a glance over to her as she shuffles out from behind the boxes and begins to apologize profusely for hurting Blossy. He feels a worry that the plea will not work, the monster too incensed with rage. Noticing the collar around its neck, his plan to attack falters a bit in his mind just as he was about to charge forth. The dilemma flips back and forth in his mind as he grits his teeth. "Goddamn it," He groans before launching himself forward, getting between the two of them with his teeth fully bared.
"Come any closer and I will not stop until there is not a single bit of you not scattered among this maze," Ursu lets out in a deep almost growling voice, teeth on full display attempting to intimidate the creature.

the baroness cries out in sorrow "NOooo not Jinora's book collection how will we ever get to read these wonderful books together now while drinking wonderfully crafted margaritas by the sunset!?"

Seeing the ogre seem to ignore her words and slam onto the ground once more, Leafa lets out a somewhat annoyed groan before noticing the tears in his eyes that make her feel so much worse. A part of her thinks back to the way she herself would react when losing her friends and it feels v e r y similar and it hurts a good bit.
With a sigh, she swings the starlight sickle around once more before throwing it in circular motion,holding onto a bit of the chain as the sickle part slashes into the creature before being replaced by the chainweight and chain wrapping very tightly around it's legs, stopping it from moving as she walks forward once more, hoping to talk to it in a less 'rushing at as' state than before "I...really...don't want to fight you. I understand your pain...i'm very sorry. I just wanted to protect my friends too. I promise if you let us past you will be able to see your Blossy well once again, but if you don't, unfortunately, you won't get to see them at all after. Please?"

Ursu is quick to see that his words have no effect on the Ogre as it swings the club, thankfully missing the two of them. He sees Leafa move in with her starlight sickle and slashing the monster, before grappling it with the chain. He looks back at Jinora, a bit frustrated at being down a team member and hoping whatever the dream is, its worth missing out on the fight. He turns back and can see Leafa trying to reason with it again, but Ursu is already in battle mode and comes in quick, attacking, attempting to not make his attacks too damaging. He makes two swipes of his glaive, landing consecutively before he pulls back ready for the next move.

He moved in with another two strikes, landing the first one, but the second one goes wide, but Ursu, quick to recover after the downward swing releases one hand to take a swing at the Ogre... straight into the nether regions. A dirty tactic, but one called for in slightly desperate times.
After landing the blow, Ursu takes the time to become mindful of his breathing, trying to will away some of the pain from the attack by Blossy.

Then she thinks more about her friends in her own plane. How back there she's dead. No one knows her "heroic" achievements apparently. And right now she's letting everyone down. again. and again. and again.
So when she blankly throws her sickle again and it connects. Something almost snaps in her. as if her sole purpose has become to take this thing down. So she slashes again and watches as it lets out this pain-filled roar and drops to the ground. But her arm moves and the blade stabs into it's stomach again. and again. Then she runs up to it and grabs the sickle by the handle itself and slices across it's side one more time with a yell
Then there's a pause as she stares at the unconscious body of the creature, blood now splattered on her clothes. She looks to Ursu and cracks a small smile "We...can keep moving...now" There's a lot of pain in her eyes, but triumph as well. She needed that.

Ursu let out a loud grunt of pain as the Ogre landed a blow with its club upon his shoulder. His pupils sharpen as he opens his maw to launch forward into an angry bite at the Ogre's throat, only to be beaten to the punch by Leafa. In fact, the ferociousness and anger in her attacks were something he had never seen before in her. It was... even more concerning than before, especially after the creature had long since collapsed into unconsciousness.
The turmoil that came with those violent blows, it was something Ursu recognized in a way that twisted wrongly in his heart. He has seen that kind of look before a number of times. He did not like it, especially not now. And then, the smile, a cold shiver runs down his spine as he can only seem to watch. As she gestures, he finds his legs and begins to follow, looking back at the Ogre one last time as he relatched his glaive.
Turning back he caught up with them. "Leafa. What I saw there... I... ," Ursu feels a hesitance catch in his throat as he spoke, the tumbling of words he wanted to say and reasons not to say them colliding and cutting in front of one another. He did not know if this was a time to be a friend or to leave it alone, lost in his training of the decorum one is supposed to have on a mission and the humanistic impulse of wanting to do something when one seems in need. He looked over at her as they walked, "I know among the many in the Nexus, you and I have talked very little, and very much stop me if this is not my place or if it is not the time, but know that as a comrade, I am here and if you need to talk or need a sure voice to get through whatever noise is in your head, do not hesitate to ask. Because, well, I know what it can be like when you have neither."
Ursu's look is one of seriousness as he reaches to give a reassuring pat on the shoulder if she cares to receive it. "I've seen the stress in everyone's eyes, these times are tough and that should not go ignored or trivialized."

As they walked and spoke, Leafa listened to Ursu's words, truly taking it in. But everything was still really loud. It was hard
But as she feels the pat on her shoulder she pauses her step and finally looks to Ursu. A look of genuine surprise yet thankfulness in her eyes. He genuinely cares...even though it's true they've barely spoken. But he still cares. And that warms her heart so much. It was a comfort she didn't think she'd find in this place, but one she happily welcomed
"Despite...the progress i've made in myself...there are still times when things...events...feelings...when they become a little much. I-i'm sorry that you had to see...that part of me...b-but I thank you for offering a shoulder to lean on...it...it means more than I can truly say...you're right that we've spoken fairly little in the Nexus itself....b-but...I hope after all of this maybe we can change that...i'd genuinely like to become closer friends with you...you're really kind...for saying all that." A more gentle smiles forms on her face and her jaw seems to un-tighten, despite her not realizing it was clenched in the first place. "I-i....for you to say you know what it's like to have neither...know I will be there for you as well...so you won't have to experience that anymore alone..."
With that she takes his hand again if he allows and continues moving forward, keeping a good hold on Jinora as well as she keeps on, a bit more of a positive determination filling her step

Ursu sees, out of the corner of his eyes, the tendrils of of the plant whipping out, but thankfully missing all of them as they continue to move forward. He looks back at Leafa and listens carefully. He could remember times like these Clover that they would trade a harsh word, then strategy, then talk of business, before more harsh words. So, to have a moment of just genuine discussion where a connection was felt, it did good for Ursu's being.
"There is no shame in that. We all have things we continue to work on, our progress is forever ongoing, better this day than the last, and more so in the next," He gives a genuine smile upon hearing Leafa wished to become closer friends. He had spent so much time with soldiers, and then business partners and employees, that despite how often he felt his world filling with those who consider themselves his friend, it was still quite the feeling to know someone wished to extend that hand out back as well out of kindness, "And I appreciate the return in sentiment, I spent a good seven years not realizing that was what I was searching for, but with people like you and those of the Nexus, I am happy to say I have found it, and the offer will always be appreciated."
"If you would like, I could invite you over to the house, and you can have dinner with Tafari, Illari, and I," Ursu grins, "We don't often get guests, but I figure its as good a way to strengthen a friendship as any." The talk was a good way to subdue the stress that even Ursu felt. It was strange, he had seen battle fields with less tension than their mission had pulled all the way through it, but such was the way of things when a dear friend's life was at stake.

seeing the baroness about to be crushed Jinora will quickly dimension door to hold her love as she cast the invulnerable bubble as purple now surrounds them only for a minute... the colossal mindflayers continue crashing their fist into the barrier as its driven deeper into the mountain.. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM Booooom... thinking of how to keep them safe Jinora thinks of a desperate plan...
fearing Jinora will have to be the survivor again she is terrified.. shes lost so many people this way.. she WILL NOT LOSE ANOTHER resolving herself to do what needs to be done
summoning her familiar to her as the crashing continues Iroh gives a small comforting squeak & flaps his wings slowly as if to say... "We can do this..." jinora gives a nod saying "I really hope this works buddy... lets try it!" setting the moth atop her head Jinora begins casting with her eyes radiating purple energy.. Irohs begin to glow as well as she in speaks in undercommon - for our narrirator in a russian accent please
"Flying in from the dark,
I burn my wings in your flame;
wings like a cloak
when I, grounded, walk around
the throne to seat your lantern,
looking up to you,
trying to see
the source of your light."
the mind flayers both raise their fist for one final strike.. but what!? the barrier drops before the final blow as a earth shattering screech is heard around the world..

The group carries on along the winding hedges, down a long stretch of sweet smelling flowers that almost makes it hard to remember if they are going left or right. As if they could just lie here and take a break, and enjoy forever. Softly, tickling at their senses. They turn another corner, and see to their left, decrepit lattices blocking the path. Something light glints 30ft, mostly out of view. To the right, an almost altar looking stand peeks out from around the corner.
Dani/Leafa (She/Her) — 10/12/2020
Leafa listens intently, wanting to make sure Ursu knew he was truly being heard before he says the offer and her eyes light up a bunch "I..i-i would love to have dinner with you all! No ones ever...like...invited me...to like...their hou-for dinner like tha-thank you! Uhm...yeah i'd...i'd be happy too thank you" She smiles brightly before focusing on the road ahead. They were still on a mission but...this moment was very nice. Made even better by the row of flowers alongside them, giving off this feeling of warmth and peace that wrapped around her
Though that couldn't last forever. As they turned the corner and were met with a crossroads, Leafa glanced both ways, thinking for a moment
"What...did we know w-what the source of this anti-magic looks like again? There's two potential uhm...sources around us now i-i think? Uhm which should we check first?" She looked up to Ursu with a shrug, trusting his judgement with this more

Hearing that Leafa was not often invited to dinner seemed in plenty of ways a misfortune to Ursu, something he was glad to rectify, "Good, then its settled, when we get back, I will be sure to let them know and we will prepare a night for it," Ursu gives a friendly nod before refocusing on their path as well. He felt himself quite calm, supremely relaxed by the wafting of the flowers about them. As he turns the corner, Ursu looks as well. He begins to strokes his goatee in thought.
"Sadly I don't believe we were ever informed on what it was supposed to look like, but if I had to take a guess, there is a good chance if it is either of the two of these, I imagine its the one behind the fencing. However, I can't entirely be sure its either," Ursu sneered as he looked between the two paths. Each step further into this realm brought some level of unknown conflict before them, "Sadly, my knowledge of the arcane is rather limited." He looks back at Jinora and curses quietly before looking at Leafa, "If we approached either, do you think you would be able to figure it out?"

as the barrier drops in the crucial moment before the mindflayers strike... two long & blackened hands reach up grabbing the mindflayers by their fore heads making them crash into eachother with a large THUNK that shakes the area.. they stumble back before being blasted again from 2 latrge black bolts of energy sending them further
Stepping out of the gash in the mountain to defend their love is none other than the fucking cryptid of legend itself..
...standing above their opponent with blackened fur... large fire like RED eyes & four arms.. long & wide antennas that stretch back.. & the signature valley sized, black wings extend as the skulls imprinted on them almost stare into the eyes of their now prey... the motherfucking Mothman steps forward to face their prey as it lets out another earth shattering screech... sending ripples into the water bellow followed by clicking as the mindflayers hold their heads in pain as they ready for a kaiju style battle of the century

Either way I should be able to figure it out...! I have a good amount of experience with magic...and study.. a lot-uhm how do you think we should get past uhm...how do we get in?"
She looks around, seeing if there was any sort of secret lever or lift hidden away to move the lattices without making too much sound "S-should...should we just kick i-nEVER MIND DON'T KICK IT-"
In Leafa's search she discoveres a trap, prepared to fire magic missiles if the magical rune covered rock peaking out a bit from behind the lattice is disturbed. "T-there's...a rock behind this...and if we touch or move it, w-we'll get attacked...maybe uhm...y-you can throw me over? Or i can use the uhm...the wall to climb over and around it?

It seems like kicking the lattices would have been so easy if it were not for this little twist in the situation. He listens to the various suggestions that Leafa makes as he strokes his goatee. "I mean, it wouldn't be the first time I've thrown someone," He thinks back to the damn sorcerer he use to work with and how he had to toss him over a large pressure plate, but that time he had his belt of fire giant strength... He sighed, "If you are fine with it, I am willing to give it a shot." He looks back at the lattices with some trepidation.

using its feet to then kick atop the rko’d one giving it the people’s elbow first & foremost before pummeling it into the ocean floor... with that one not defeated using a disintegration punch it as the skull of the mindflayer crashes in on itself as the now dark clouds of dust pullover the the waters bellow... without hesitation flying to the other giving it a Superman punch before lazerbeams shoot from the skulls eyes on their gigantic wings cutting off their foes arms... following it up with a kaiju sized suplex to banish it to the depths...
with the enemies defeated the cryptid rushed back to the baroness hoping she is not too late reverting shrinking back to the sorrowful pallid elf fearful for her love... she is utterly spent as Iroh falls to the ground exhausted aside her...

FINALE
as our heroine Jinora gets to her love she holds her closely as the baroness lays still in her arms... she begins crying as shes left to be the last survivor once again... as she burys her face into the baroness wishing anything that she could have saved her... a tear rolls down her face a single tear falls of her face landing on the baroness..

as the tear falls on the baroness she begins to glow a bright & radiant gold as energy shines from her wounds... the color they talked about together when they first met... as she begins to rise floating she reaches out as she is fully healed by the tears of her lich partner she embraces Jinora caressing her neck as she says... “I knew you could do it my starlight.. your hands are were meant for more than destroying... they were meant for holding me!” *as they begin to make out intensely again now safe from the danger. (How one makes out with a probiscus mouth.. Well leave it up to the imagination of the readers)
*as they continue making out Iroh flutters over to Jinora presenting a golden ring.. as jinora takes it blushing as she takes a knee in front of her love.. “My radiance.. would... would you marry me... & read books & drinks margaritas by the sunset with me for all of time as we sit at the edge of the universe together.” the baroness beginning to cry as well as she responds with a “I thought you’d never ask” *as suddenly Jinora’s alive drow brother (hes dead in real life ) taps jinora on the shoulder giving her a hug saying “hey squirt... are you ready?” as they open their eyes they are transported to an even more extravagant library now wearing a black wedding dress holding the hands of the baroness looking more beautiful than ever.. she looks with tears in her eyes at all of their friends as Xander proceeds to officiate the ceremony... the camera pans away as we see the lovers kiss & leave the library with a cheer that was so loud it can almost be heard in the library to this day as it continues to reverberate in the great hall of books....as the scene is about to change we see a photo of the baroness & Jinora writing Mothra into the night sky... (Next episode will be our last to see what the future holds for the lovers)
Epilogue
the destined lovers eventually took the time to rebuild the library before retiring to live in a small cottage on the mountain side tucked in a lush & quiet Forrest.. both being timeless spent eons together reading eloquent books & talking about color theory & beautifully crafted spells that changed the world around them.. they would cuddle aside the fire drinking only the finest of cocktails & delicious teas. After a few eons they decided to start a family as they over time adopted around 30 children... who all grew up to be wonderful librarians.. our dream sequence ends with Jinora sitting with the baroness holding hands looking at a burgundy sunset as they clink jumbo sized margarita glasses... 

(Alternate secret nightmare end if the reader chooses it) 
as their glasses clink the world darkens as jinora looks around frantically looking straight into the face of cuthulu who has arisen from the waters... looking at the foe she tried to block out of her mind surging awake screaming
AS JINORA WAKES UP
*she opens her eyes slowly as she wakes up from the poison taking in her surroundings looking for the baroness before burying her face into Ursu’s back... as she mumbles to herself as if screaming into a pillow (mumbling she says) “WHy can I only have good dreams when I’m drugged out of my mind....” (now screaming into Ursu’s back as if hes a pillow) “F U C K .. I WANNA GO BACKKKKKKKK ” before remembering what’s going on & realize shes bleeding from the ribs & that she is in a maze looking around frantically saying “F U C K, shit, mother bitch I fucking lost coOouUunt... also... WHY AM I BLEEDING!?” singing that bit as shes a bit frazzled as that was the first nice dream shes had in a Loooong time.. she ponders of taking a bit of that flower.. before climbing off ursu’s back rubbing the back of her head embarrassedly... “Sorry i’ve been such a burden.. I hope I wasn’t out for too long.. are you all ok?” shes blushing a bit from embarrassment but also from the dream she had

Leafa figures out the orb itself has one and only one job, to suck magic out of the area. One could probably disconnect the orb from the pedestal, but would then be pumped with the magic the orb had collected.
Dani/Leafa (She/Her) — 10/12/2020
Leafa's "WEEEEE" quickly morphs into an "owwwOWWWW-" as she trips mid-throw and slams through the lattice, before she can recover she immediately feels a bolt of a magic missile hit her back, making her wince slightly. There's a pause before she starts laughing, seemingly still happy with the experience before she turns and realizes Ursu and Jinora were hit as well, halting her joy very quickly "O-oh! I'm sorry are...i-i'm fine! Are you okay?"
Then Jinora awakes and a sigh of relief escapes her. "Uhm i-it's okay! You weren't out for too long...and you haven't been a burdan, promise!" She smiles a little before looking to the orb "I think we found the anti magic device...or...orb. It's...more absorbing the magic in the area than diminishing it...huh...so uhm...don't touch it. If you do the magic is...most likely gonna go in you and then y-you could be overloaded with magic and that could be...bad...It might be good to break it from a distance and hopefully it disperses the magic and returns it equally...but...w-what do you all think? We could also check the alter to see if they're connected maybe-OH Jinora t-there's...this altar looking thing the opposite way... around a corner-just so you know-are you feeling better I didn't ask-I meant to ask but I didn-sorry-so-" She quickly just stops talking, glancing between the two to see what they think

He turns back to see Jinora finally away, "Um, are you o-" His words are cut off again as Jinora beings to yell into his back, causing his eyes to go wide in confusion. What in the world had she been dreaming about?
"Um..." Ursu is unsure what to say as Jinora climbs off his back, he shakes his head and regains his sense before giving Jinora a smile, "As Leafa said, its all fine, didn't mind carrying ya. Figured I'd prove that I did indeed 'got this'," Ursu grins down at Jinora.
He looks over at Leafa as she explains the orb and what might happen. Ursu looked down at his hip where one of his axes of sundering hung. He looked around and grimaced as he realized he wouldn't be able to get the range he would feel safe with without hedges blocking the orb. He sighs, "If the altar is connected its worth a look.

I'm not really used to people doing that.. usually I tend to work alone.. so thank you both for looking out for me." she gives a little bow with a smile as a sincere thank you
pondering the orb noticing how it seems to connect under ground shell think to herself of the altar "As much as i would love to try to touch that.. I dont know how i would do... absorbing magical energy is something I can do... but.... with the amount it took even from me that could very well disintegrate me & id love to avoid that...

He examines the altar as they approach it. His grasp on magic was fairly loose, but some bits of this did seem familiar enough for him to discern what this altar was capable of. He thought through his list of belongings and thought over what he was able to part with. He looks to the others, "Not sure if either of you have picked up on it, but we should definitely leave offerings here, lest something wicked befall us." Ursu took out his pouch and slides out several gold coins. A couple he had held on from his last trip back to his realm. He wasn't sure if such an offering would be what it was looking for, but it was all he was willing to part with at the moment. He walked over and placed the coins on the alter before stepping back.

Ursu, believe the altar and the orb to be unrelated makes his way back over to the vacuum of magical energy, and pulls off one of his axes, staying as far back as he can, he takes a moment to steady his aim and launch the first axe. He sees it connect, but only cracking the orb. Feeling confident in the next throw, he takes off the second axe and takes and does much of the same. This time he manages to destroy the orb. A satisfaction goes through Ursu before he hears an odd clunking sound. He did not feel his strength return to him, nor did his armor glow with familiar blue runes. Suddenly, his hair falls out of his head at once and to the ground. He looks around in confusion. What had gone wrong? Was... was there more to this? Did they need to go deeper into the maze.

Watching Ursu's hair fall off of him seemed to confirm that. She cleared her throat and glanced to the side as the string of curses muttered out from him. She then nods along with Jinora "Y-yeah it's...uhm...it's fine! It'll be fine! This is...fine...I...this is fine-you look great with or without hair! Plus Jinora's right once we get our magic back i'm sure we can reverse the effects of that...you did great!"
She gave them both a small smile before spinning around and beginning to lead the way again further into the maze. She pauses, seeing the two options, she looks around to see if there are any traps on either side before choosing. Discovering that both seemed to be safe, she took the left most turn and continued to lead the way

Ursu, finishing his string of cursing, looks at the other two and hears the attempts at consoling. He takes his axes back from Jinora and gives a small nod. After a moment, he takes a deep breath and refocuses himself. This was one of the... better results he could have hoped for. It definitely beat maiming by magical explosion or... sheep. "Many thanks, the axes come from Del's shop, she does wonders with a forge."
Ursu runs a hand over his head, feeling the smoothness of it with a bit of a cringe, but quickly shakes it off, "If magic can fix it, all the better, but I can settle for it growing back. It wouldn't be the first time that magic has forced me to make a change in hairstyle. Truth be told, Tafari has joked before about wanting to see me with a shaved head, so if it can't be fixed, they'll at least get that," He gives a smile, "But yes, lets continue. Gives me all the more motivation to smash the next one if no alternative presents itself."
Ursu follows along, keep his eyes peeled. He watched as Leafa stops at the diverging of paths and examines them both. After a bit, confirming their safety, she moves ahead down one of the paths, and Ursu follows.

Seeing multiple pathways to choose from, Ursu takes a second to listen, still hearing the machine from the northwest. Granted, being a maze, there was no guarantee north would indeed lead to it, it was worth a shot. He walked over to the broken Lattice and examined it to make sure there were no stones that would shoot little balls of pain at them. Satisfied with no traps seeming to be abound, Ursu pulls away what he needs to to unblock the path, clearing the way.
"There we go," He looks back at the other two and flashes a smile before proceeding forward, "Hopefully this means a change in our luck for the better."

Ursu sees the orb as they circle around. He rolls his shoulders... and sighs. He thinks to himself that Daemin better appreciate what he is doing as he takes one of his axes, reels his arm back and chucks it forward. It manages to hit, but only cracking the orb. Ursu quickly braces himself for something... anything, but is greeted with a sight of petals and butterflies. He waits for a moment, thinking maybe these are the kind of butterflies that explode into fireballs if touched... but after nothing occurs he takes his other axe and repeats the action, finally shattering the orb. He hears a repeat of the clunking and starting up again. "HA! another one down."

She looks to Jinora and smiles "I-i'm real happy for you! That's...probably a relief I imagine! Let's hurry finish this...hopefully...yeah!" In a literal spark of joy she claps her hands two times, one time nothing happens, a second four multi-colored soft balls of light erupt from her hands and wrap around her, almost like a hug (Dancing Lights).

"Unfortunately, as made apparent, stealthing about isn't exactly one of my strengths," Ursu keeps an eye out, trying to get sight of the claw again if it appears over the hedges, "...but unfortunately I don't see many other options. If minor illusion can help, then it would be appreciate."
Ursu sighs as he considers how much farther into the maze they have to go. Hopefully not too much farther, he was worried about what was occurring back at the party. "It was an unfortunate what bad luck struck us before, but considering most of the creatures we've seen have collars, even if we're found out, I assume we can agree to not attack unless charged? I'm... not holding out much hope in persuading them, but if it can be done, its worth a shot."
Ursu pauses for a moment, looking back at his Glaive, "Failing that, I imagine it comes back to knocking it out." He walks over to the lattice and gives it a quick look. Finding no traps to this one, and feeling fairly confident, he moves the lattice out of the way so that they may proceed.

“Come one bitch! If you want a snack I’m fucking delicious!” hoping to draw the attention from Ursu away so he will be alright as she cast firebolt one more time.

Seeing the pincers crack into Ursu, crushing him even more, Leafa lets out a small gasp before instinctively dodging the pincer that slams down near her. A small growl escapes her throat as she stares at the monster, her worry growing ever more as Jinora yells to grab the monsters attention
"No no no no no NO NOPE LOOK YOUR DISGUSTING BUG EYED ASS THIS WAY! OVER HERE! SHE MAY BE A SNACK BUT I'M A....GONNA KILL YOU-DAMN IT-FUCK OFF" She yells before charging forward, her first initial slice missing before she gets this murderous glint in her eyes, similar to before, she jumps up and stabs very deeply down into the base of it's pincer once more, practically slicing it off before stabbing it through it's head, making it's body freeze up before completely going limp on the ground.
She lands as well and immediately moves over to Ursu, checking to make sure he was okay "I am soooo sorry-I didn't think-Ithought it'd let you go-are you okay?" Wow is she panicking so much right now, there's a lot of guilt and worry in her eyes

The monsters gone, the party now finds themselves standing in front of Ursu, who is still stiff as a board and breathing, and the giant machine floating above the teleportation circle. Latched onto the planar magic that flows within.
The machine whirls and stutters, the lights looking dim as it rotates slowly.

taking the time to notice the device seeing its something she understands she will ask leafa to watch over Ursu as she slowly & carefully alters the runes as she carefully takes care of the device hoping to disable it as she does so..
she takes note of how the machine functions to hopefully remember how it works for future use as she does to disabling the machine

Even before Jinora asked her too Leafa was sat there, very worridly watching over Ursu's body, repeatedly muttering that she was sorry under her breath. She then suddenly remembers the two potions of healing she was given and takes one out, carefully administering it to him. She knew it probably wouldn't help much, but maybe he'd at least feel a tiny bit of relief in his state.
She then glances over to Jinora, opening her mouth to say something but pausing, realizing she seems a bit busy, she just sighs and focuses on Ursu again

Ursu, conscious this entire times, feels the movement returning to his stiff limbs. Jinora pours over the arcane symbols around the machine, actively working on them.
Jerald(H/H) Ur/Rol/Psalm/Eimsury — 10/16/2020
That sensation of not being able to move. To find yourself in an unbearable stillness staring off with absolute awareness but with no means to express it. To be denied the ability to wield your entirety and to have no more control than that which you have over your mind. It all welled into a smoldering sense of frustration in the pit of Ursu's being, feeling the impulse and want to move, but for nothing to respond in kind was comparable to wanting to scream but to find no air in your lungs.
Worse yet was to watch others move around you. To worry over you and try to fix a situation while you remained within yourself like a tank of glass staring outwards. He listened to Leafa's apology and subsequent muttering, but could not respond, wanting to say a good number of things, but mostly to tell her it wasn't her fault. He waited, listening to the muttering until she decided to administer a healing potion, which actually did relieve some of the ache and pain, making it all a bit more bearable. However, shortly after, the feeling of movement began to spread through his body once more, and though it came with ache in his shoulders as he began to move it, he couldn't have been happier.
He let his shoulders drop as he clenched and unclenched his fists, "Hellfuck, that creature packed quite the punch," Ursu looked over at Leafa, "Leafa, I promise that you have nothing to be sorry about. I was trained to take hits like that, as much as I'd rather not, and probably could have done more to avoid its grasp in the first place. I'm just glad we managed to take both of them out before anything worse could happen. You did a great job. As did Jinora. Speaking of which..."
He looked over at Jinora and watched her work, quite impressed with the particular nature of the work itself, "Hopefully there won't be much more of this maze to go through," He says with a chuckle that almost wavered into a sigh as he felt a sharp pain.

Jinora works diligently for ten minutes, and finally, there is a sudden clunk clunkclunk clunk noise as the floating machine suddenly shuts off. It comes crashing to the ground in front of the party, scattering bits and pieces of gems everywhere.
There is a moment, and then the teleportation circle pulses. And then so does the magic of everyone not from the feywilds.
Lion(Fae):Kalamä|Röe|Jin|Rid|Bow — 10/16/2020
jinora continually pours over the runes taking note of the different characters with her keen mind & how they correspond with the device taking notes as she does so trying to assertiain how this device works for future use..
Taking her time to delicately change certain runes to different characters to stop the blocking of magic from the prime material.. she talks to herself under her breath as she does so flashing a quick smile as she finishes her notes Ursu wakes up & leafa cares for him... knowing this is what she is her for.. taking a few notes before changing the last rune putting her mask on as she does so to completely hide her form.... she changes the last rune as the magic floods within her as she begins to rise the sound of static & bolts of purple & teal electricity surging off of her as she takes a full deep breath for the first time since there arrival exclaiming “Fucking finally!”
she quickley sends a message through sending to Vhal & Izzy... Whats up bitches... magic is back & in full fold for us, any update on information & bouncing? What have I missed so far...? ArssOoNn?! after gathering a few gems for research she rushes, to Ursu using a pulse of her gloves (3rd leave cure wounds) to heal him to make him feel a bit better. She hugs them both tightly as she say... “I’m glad you both are ok... I can help now thanks to you both... now let’s get the fuck out of here.” she says with a big smile as she readies another spell to cast on her & her friends next turn to get them out of the maze

Jinora starts winding up a spell, when you all hear a very disgruntled growl. Looking down the length of the clearing, you see the Ogre.
He's rubbing his head where it was knocked about, club out defensively. But he makes no move to attack, obviously have learned his lesson. "You broke thing. Now heal Blossy. You promise."
Dani/Leafa (She/Her) — 10/16/2020
The moment Ursu began to move even the slighting bit, Leafa's worry quickly shifted to joy, smiling as she watched him regain full control of his body again. There's a bit of surprise as he says she's not at fault, but she just nods, a lot of guilt seeming to lift off her shoulders "T-thank you...Ursu" She then jumps up, moving her gaze over to Jinora as well...wait what does hellfuck mea-she'll ask later
She watches in almost star-struck awe seeing her work and configure the runes, this was the first time she'd seen such magical work, it was fascinating to her. For many reasons. But finally, almost like a wave crashing after it's long high-rise build up, she feels her magic awaken once more. Her excitement at the event rises even more as she watches Jinora's magic create a display of purple sparks and lighting around her for a moment, laughing at her exclamation.
She then does a small hop out of excitement watching her heal Ursu before being wrapped up in a tight hug, which she happily returns, giving them both a small squeeze.
As she giggles and prepares to be teleported away, her smile slowly drops as the Ogre appears. Listening to his words makes a sigh escape from her as she looks to her hands. her mouth opens to say something before closing quickly. "I did promise...if you let us pass...you didn't let us of your own accord so I guess that's off" is what she wants to say...What if healing the flower would make it attack them again? What if this was a set-up? Sure they'd be fine but it'd be another set-back because of her. But then she replays the fight with the ogre in her mind. He was genuinely crushed...those tears were real...to her, familiar in a way
She herself doesn't really have the magic to fix Blossy. She glances to Jinora and whispers "B-blossy is the flower we came across...would...you be able to heal them? If you don't want too it's okay..."

Ursu smiles as Leafa does, giving a thumbs up before they watched Jinora work. Once it seemed she had completed the last of whatever she needed to do, Ursu could feel the strength from his Belt of Fire Giant strength course through him once more, a very welcomed change after so long without it in several battles. The runes on his armor glowed once more as well, giving a faint blue aura. After a moment he feels another bit of radiating warmth go through him as his wounds and aches lessened once more thanks to Jinora.
"I can feel the tides of the evening shifting," Ursu speaks with a wide smile, "Soon enough we will be able to re-" However, his train of thought, along with his budding speech as interrupted as he received a group hug from the other two. A younger Ursu maybe would have pulled away. A travelling Ursu would have stood and simply waited for it to be over. However, Ursu now? He reached out and returned it back to them. "Let's get the fuck out of here indeed."
Ursu turns as he hears the Ogre and turns to look. With his hand still on his glaive, he keeps a steady grip, waiting with caution as they watch him. Once he hears the request, his relaxes a bit, feeling sure that as long as all things agreed to are fulfilled, it would not come to violence again. His eyes dart to and fro between Leafa and Jinora waiting for their response. He, of course, had nothing that would help the flower, unless a healing potion would do the trick, but not being sure, he keeps back and waits.

Lion(Fae):Kalamä|Röe|Jin|Rid|Bow — 10/16/2020
with a dumbfounded look she’ll look at the ogre as her head tilts.. but still tilted will look at the sky as she hears Vhal’s response smiling a little.. magic still passing through her fingers as it’s a white whispy arcane cloud that just swirls in her hand that’s about to cast as she pauses squeezing the bridge of her nose giving a quiet huff shell float up a bit changing the magic as it disperses into white feathers as she touches Ursu & Leafa both in the forehead casting fly on the both of them
“just think light thoughts & you’ll be alright... I can fix blossy... if y’all want I could meet you back at the kitchen?? Vhal said she’s using a chisel so I think time is of the essence”
giving an excited & determined look to you both before she fixes her own mask in place to hide her form as she begins to concentrate as she calls out to the ogre
“I’ll heal your Blossy if It can promise it dosent attack again... if you can promise that then pick them up on your way out of the maze.. you might wanna hurry” she gives a wink behind the mask as she floats a bit waiting to see how they will respond
waiting to hear from the ogre before she moving thinking to herself.. hoping Izzy will give her the thumbs up for some fun
Sink (S/T): Cal/7/Enigma/Hepsie — 10/16/2020
The ogre turns and starts running through the maze, worried that he doesn't get Blossy and Petals out of the maze, they might both die. They're shockingly fast, used to running the twists and turns while taking care of the maze as they are supposed to. They pull Blossy and Petals safely from the dirt, carrying them to the entrance.
It is with a heavy sigh, they place both of the flowers outside the maze, reaching into his bag and tossing them some odd looking sap filled globs. "Don't worry bout me Blossy and Petals. I will be fine." They toss them at the flowers, unable to leave the maze. The unharmed flower happily starts eating, but cut and severed Blossy weakly struggles.

Leafa tilts her head a bit as Jinora touches her forehead but her confusion is immediately replaced by glee as she immediately flys straight up in the air, her thoughts already pretty positive and light in a quicks switch. She pauses her excitement to listen to Jinoraa, nodding and giving a thumbs up, though obviously hesitant to leave her by herself. Though seeing her look of confidence re-assures her a bit
"Send us a message if you need help w-we'll be right there...we trust you!" And then she watches both the Ogre and Jinora hurry off in the direction of the maze's entrance. She hesitates for a moment again before shaking her head and looking to Ursu with a smile, taking his hand if he allows before very wobblily flying off back to the kitchen. As they flew Leafa's body seemed to relax more and more, it was something about being lifted by happy thoughts and the magic of a friend that made her feel free in more ways than one. It was a moment she'd enjoy...until she gets back to the party and starts internally panicking again

watching them go she’s glad to get them out safely.. curious as to what’s happening in the mansion. She watches the ogre run for its life as she chuckles a little feeling a biiit bad for sounding so threatening.. she zooms after then & like a defibrillator will use the gloves to heal blossy. “ Sorry about Blossy... I hope y’all can always be together.. you seem to be a great caregiver for them.”
Lion(Fae):Kalamä|Röe|Jin|Rid|Bow — 10/17/2020
.
as she heals blossy with the gloves she awkwardly laughs thinking about the dream she had.. remembering the part of her hands were meant for more. She’s healing when she’s much rather be destroying/drawing a penis owl with some choice words in flames... but it’s just all too silly.. maybe this is a small way she’s saying thank you for a good dream for the first tine in a long while.. she sighs in relief a little when she gets izzys msg knowing that might be a bit extra if she destroyed the maze
as blossy heals she just gives a small wave before flying back to the teleportation circle bagging the 2 blank collars on the dead Chuul before casting shatter to completely render the device & circle useless just in case.. then using her full speed to get back to the party following Ursu & Leafa anxious to see what is happening

Leafa, Ursu, and Jinora gather back at the doorway to the kitchen and storage room, which Fish sees. As Jinora finally arrives, Vhalias also appears, with the horse sized prismatic dragon walking alongside them.*

Fish skids around the corner, having been sprinting to catch up with the group and find the others. They make a beeline for Jinora once they spot the group. The Kenku doesn’t flip the hood down until they are right in front of the three maze goers. Barking out in a harsh mimicked voice of a guard. “HALT”
Fish scrambled up into the closest thing to get them as close to eye level as they can before snapping to get Jinoras attention and starts signing. “Lich in basement, warn others with mind message thing, need to recover for dragon, Moth woman best mage here, can help”
ro | pea/vhal/arch | t/t — 10/17/2020
As Vhalias rounds a corner, they see the maze group with Fish. They jog ahead to catch up. “Jinora!” Vhalias whisper-shouts to the pallid elf, beckoning her over. “We have a problem.” They glance back at Qazzid. “Alaneon has a lich hidden in this place but we can’t just kill her. This dragon was her ward and they promised to help us if we protect them. Do you know how to locate a phylactery?”
Lion(Fae):Kalamä|Röe|Jin|Rid|Bow — 10/17/2020
once everyone is settled on the ground Jinora will stop concentrating so she can take her mask off putting it on her belt.. seeing fish first she’ll wave with a smile glad he’s ok but looks nervous as he approaches & shares the news... she looks very wide eyed that there at the mention of lich, but hearing they need to recover them takes a huge sigh of relief.. giving fish a nod “Weirdly enough i have a bit of expertise with this.. I’m glad your ok”
then turning to Vhal as seeing the cute prismatic dragon follow as Jinora looks in amazement for a brief second... the gears turning in her mind as she tries to process everything & how to proceed “hmmm ya know I expected this party to go a lot of ways but this.. this is unexpected... are they what you used one of the chisels on?”
“Leave it to me then.. I can find the phylactery but for how tricky lichs can be I think I need to talk to them first.. can you get me there?”
“Also I assume we’re taking them with us then? Also I know this is so many questions I’m just trying to wrap my head around this.. did they have a collar or a spike?”
she ask that a bit frantic as she begins to worry in a different way than it being a lich itself.. but really worried if she is going to have to show her true form here or not.. this could be really bad, but also could hold some hope for herself if it goes well.
Sink (S/T): Cal/7/Enigma/Hepsie — 10/17/2020
Qazzid grunts at the three new people, stepping slightly behind Vhalias. "Tulafia is my...my mother! And I won't let you hurt her. This nice person got the collar off of me, and said you were powerful and could save her. Please save Tulafia, I couldn't." Qazzid lowers their head sadly.
Fish/Galv/Murzol (h/h) — 10/17/2020
“No collar, just spike.....Lich not fully there though.” They look between the group and the dragon, scratching the back of their head for a moment. “Fish can take Moth to Lich, you three keep dragon safe?”
ro | pea/vhal/arch | t/t — 10/17/2020
Vhalias nods. “On the dragon, yeah. There was some kind of illusion on them, they were enormous when we found them. They shrunk when I broke the collar.”
They glance back at Qazzid, frowning. “That might be best. I don’t know how Qazzid will react to seeing her like that.”
Dani/Leafa (She/Her) — 10/17/2020
As Leafa and Ursu first arrived, she sighed, a bit disappointed that she wouldn't be able to fly anymore now. Maybe she'll ask Jinora if they could fly together like that another time
And then Jinora catches up to them, and then the word HALT is barked st them making her stand to attention immediately before realizing it's Fish who begins signing something, then Vhalias is here talking about a lich that makes her eyes go wide immediately.
But she manages to re-focus enough to hear the rest of the info dump. Obviously personal feelings weren't important right now. Lich in basement...there's...this is a dragon that's a...wa-a phlactery needs to be-someone is named Tulafia I guess that's the lich that had a spike that was an illusion there's a lot-
She just blinks a few times a bit blankly before nodding. Keep dragon safe. She got that at least. She lowers her voice as well "W-we uhm...we can do that..."
She then squats down, looking to Qazzid "I-i promise we're gonna do what we can to save your mom...everything is gonna be okay, we'll take care of you until then!" She looks up to Vhalias and Fish, hoping she'd understand the situation, or at least her role in it
Jerald(H/H) Ur/Rol/Psalm/Eimsury — 10/17/2020
Ursu was starting to get the hang of flying. Well, truth be told it was more that it didn't quite catch him as off guard this time. They make their way back to the kitchen and once landing, Ursu suddenly realized he was quite relieved to be on the ground. Flying was an experience, but much preferred to use his own muscles and ligaments to move.
He suddenly feels himself reaching for his glaive when he hears the shout to halt, but turns to see Fish and Vhalias, causing him to relax. He watches as Fish signs something and Vhalias follows up. The mention of a Lich hits Ursu with a pang of anxiety. This situation was getting more complicated all the time. And then he sees the dragon and finds he needs to take a deep breath as he listens to the back and forth.
Again, how the tides of the evening continue to shift to and fro. He felt out of his depth. In the party he could hold his own in talking, in the maze he was fine in combat, but this was not something he had been prepared for. However he watched as they talked, having a clearer grasp on the situation than he did and he knew there was one thing he was better at than giving orders... "I will do whatever you need me to do." He gives a nod of his head.
Lion(Fae):Kalamä|Röe|Jin|Rid|Bow — 10/17/2020
jinora nods her head still thinking... fish’s comment of she’s not all there lingers in her head remembering when she was in the same predicament in the past... she goes over to the dragon leaning down to look into their eyes “I promise that no one will hurt her.. I swear on my life.. but I’m order to get her back I might need your help. Can you do that?” she asks with a smile
“I need you to close your eyes and concentrate on your favorite memory with her” hoping the dragon does & is ok with it so she will gently take the memory using encode thoughts to show to the lich in the basement if needed “we’ll get her back to you.. I promise”
then looking to fish & Ursu.. “Ursu with that fine belt of yours it might be of help if you wouldn’t mind to join? Shall we proceed?”
Sink (S/T): Cal/7/Enigma/Hepsie — 10/17/2020
Qazzid looks at Leafa uncertainly, before finally stepping out and puffing up their chest. "I can take care of myself a little, I'm almost an adult you know. You just have to save Tulafia like you promised, that's all I ask. He took her away, I know he did."
Qazzid looks at Jinora warily before closing their eyes. Thinking of the first time Tulafia invited them into the library, laughing at Qazzid wanted to run about and play. The warmth of the sun that came through the windows as Tulafia sat down with a book. How Qazzid was suddenly pulled from their rambunctious running by the sweet voice of Tulafia softly mingling through the books. The story she had started to read out loud...how she explained that after a morning of caring for the gardens, there was nothing better than sitting down to read a short story for lunch.
How Qazzid had finally curled up around her chair, head on the arm, and quietly listened. The first of hundreds of times.
They finally opened their eyes, a small mournful catch of their throat escaping before they swallowed it back down. "You better keep your promise or I'll never forgive you."
Lion(Fae):Kalamä|Röe|Jin|Rid|Bow — 10/17/2020

Dani/Leafa (She/Her) — 10/17/2020
Leafa chuckles a little as the dragons statement "I-i believe you!" She then looks to the three as they prepare to leave, giving them a small wave and thumbs up as they head off. Though there's a bad tight feeling in her chest that almost makes her want to follow, but she stays still
And then there's silence. In any other situation it would've been something Leafa was overjoyed about...but this silence felt...awful. As if even a breath too loud could dangerously rip it apart. A silence before chaos. It made her freeze up
She slowly glances to Vhalias and mouths the words 'Somethings wrong' Before standing up and quietly opening the door as little as possible and peaking out to see what had happening
ro | pea/vhal/arch | t/t — 10/17/2020
Vhalias watches Fish and Jinora leave, before turning to Leafa and Qazzid. “Alright. I’m going to hide Qazzid in the cart until it’s safe to bring them out. Meet me—“
And then the kitchen noise snuffs out to a deafening silence. Gods fucking dammit, tonight has gone steadily from bad to worse.
They look at Leafa, casting a message into her head. Jig is up, I’m thinking. Alaneon must have figured it out. We need to move.
