As Maxon left the store with his new weapon, Caelia went and found Elaine again.
“Elaine? You must get patrons from out of town right? Do you know where the nearest town is from here, one preferably with an inn?
Maxon and I are in desperate need of a proper bed” the Wyvern admitted.
Her greetings were well received by Sinclair, who then introduced her to his group of girls.
"Esme, i would like you to meet Reeva, Payge, and Syn. My very dear friends."
Giselle had knocked on Burden's door. Gwendolyn had opened it slightly and looked outside, immediately recognizing the illusion around Giselle. However, before she could react, Giselle took notice of her sudden panic and cast a spell on her, chains of blackness had coiled around her and weighed her to the room's floor. "Now, get the lizardman," she said, looking over at Ascendare.
MEANWHILE...
Elaine stopped her work and thought for a moment, "Well... There are two villages that I know have an inn. Rottigann and Morzephyr. Don't worry though, Rottigan's closer, though there are a lot of Undead or otherwise, creepy, Mamono." she said, returning to sharpening an ax, while her brother enchanted some more weapons and armor nearby.
MEANWHILE...
Esme smiled and waved at everyone, receiving waves back. Reeva meanwhile, simply smirked at Esme and floated up to her. "So, how long have you lived here?" she asked. Esme thought for a moment before answering, "A full year so far. Tomorrow will have been another week, though" she said, smiling in return. "How long have you been traveling with Sinclair?" Esme asked in return. Reeva crossed her arms, "A few days. We already have a pact as well" she said, obviously trying to make herself appear better than Esme. Instead, Esme rushed over to Sinclair, their noses almost touching, "Sinclair! Let's make a pact! Please?!" she said, again, giving him puppy dog eyes.
"That was easy..." The blazefang would say, before walking in and towards Burden. "You're coming back to Cragspur with me, Burden. Don't make this harder than it has to be."Burden
Burden, of course, wouldn't listen. "I'm not giving up my chance to see the world Ascendare!" He'd say, already prepared to cast a spell.
(Sorry for asking, but what town is Burden, Gwenolyn, Ascendere and Giselle at? As that seems to be the place where everything is happening. lol)
{I think I said that it was unnamed.}
Giselle kept her eye and spell cast on Gwendolyn. Eventually, though, Violet would hear the commotion and poked her head in through the wall, "What's going on in here?" she asked, spotting Giselle holding Gwendolyn down with black chains and another Lizard-woman threatening Burden. Violet had turned her attention to Giselle and her eyes glowed with magical energy, as Giselle slid out of the doorway, with it closing in her face. Gwendolyn, meanwhile, was wrestling herself out of the chains coiled around her body.
Violet had stepped through the wall completely and glared at Ascendare, "Who are you?"
Sinclair was completely floored by this sudden request. Knowing what that could mean for him and with respect to her power, he found himself very eager to make a pact with a sylph.
"I don't see why not. But... i would like to make sure...that my girls are okay with this...with you" then he turns to each of them respectively. "Reeva, Payge, Syn?"
(Ahh, okay.)
“Okay, thank you! And take care!” Caelia happily said with a wave, before leaving the shop.
She then caught up with Maxon, who had just finished fixing his new dagger to his belt.
“There you are” he said, turning to her. “So you wanna get lunch before we take off?”
“Yep! That sounds great! Also, I asked Elaine about nearby towns. And she says that there are two nearby, both with inns. So we should be able to get a nice bed tonight!” She said with a wink.
“Oh thank gods! I wasn’t going to complain, but I was getting really tired of sleeping on the fecking ground” he sighed. “Right, so let’s talk about where we’re going while we’re eating. Sound good?”
“Yep! Right behind you!”
And with that, Maxon led the way to the tavern.
"There's another one? And she's gone? Bah, damn it all!" Ignoring Violet, Ascendare would rush to the room's exit, not comfortable with facing off against three magical foes.
Payge simply smiled, as she stuck close to Syn, who responded. "I think that it's a good idea. You could gain more power from Esme. Plus, I'm sure I and Payge won't mind, as long as we get to join in" she said, with Payge nodding in agreement. Reeva floated back to the other girls, she looked at Sinclair with daggers in her eyes, "Fine. BUT... I would like a private session afterward" she replied, blushing.
MEANWHILE...
Giselle had stood up, rubbing the back of her head, returning to her natural Mindflayer form. "There's two of them?" she asked herself aloud, cleaning herself of dust.
MEANWHILe...
Elaine would wave at Caelia as she left, returning to her work afterward.
There was a tavern nearby, nameless but open. Inside, they'd find a few occupied tables and an Orc waitress waiting tables. There was also a Human man behind the nearby bar counter.
