Cha0s Gaming - Library

EasyThreads added GalaxyBat64 to the group. 10/08/2024 23:42

As they all enter, an Owlin suddenly appears out of thin air before them. Holding up his wings slightly. “Salutations, newcomers. Welcome to my library.”

Waves.

Why is there a giant talking owl?!

“*Owlin.*” He corrects. “Did your parents tell you nothing about the residents of the guild?” He lowers his wings, and hides his hands in his sleeves. “Honestly, Valorie, you should get out more.”

**HOW THE FUCK DOES IT KNOW MY NAME!?** (edited)

“*Voices from the mind share thoughts in kind.*” He whispers in her mind. Then turning to Bhargon. “Nice seeing you again. Did you bring back my book?”

With a nervous chuckle, he pulls out a book from his coat pocket. “I did, yeah.”

*unsheathes her dagger in fear* DON'T DO WEIRD MIND TRICKS ON ME, YOU OVERGROWN POULTRY!

The book levitates away, out of the dwarf’s hand. Baracus smiles and teleports away. Now perched atop a bookshelf. “Come now, no weapons in my library.”

*trembling in fear as she holds her blade*

Realising her genuine fear, he sighs. Using his magic to levitate a larger, heavier book over to her. It’s his Grimoire. His book of everything. It opens to show several sketches of various members of the group. Including some of Astarion, and even one or two of Shadowheart. “Child, I’m the sage of this guild. Managing this library and documenting all people that pass through. Be at ease. Take comfort in the quiet of my library.” His hooting voice soothes.

*she takes a deep breath and puts away her dagger, but then makes the "I'm watching you" guesture"*

Again his voice flutters around in her mind. “*You have a keen eye. Watching; learning. Come see me later and we will talk. It seems you need proof that I’m a guardian to you.*”

Walking over to a nearby table, he takes a seat. “Let’s get to planning, yeah?”

Just no creepy telepathy shit, got it?!

*Going to read some books also.*

“Very well.” He concedes aloud.

Good....Now....Tell me more about this....guardian shit...

“Later. For now, you three need to decide where to travel next. The king and queen won’t save themselves.” He offers wink and disappears.

Never did I think I'd be scared of a BIRD

He's not just Any bird... Maybe try and show a little respect yeah?

“He’s harmless, I think.”

and Relax a bit. if he wanted to hurt you, don't you think he would have done so already?

*mocks: "Don't you think he would have done so already?"* WHAT IF HE'S PLOTTING?!

Appearing once again. In a chair at the table. Sitting ironically like a villain. “No such thing.” He then teleports back to wherever he previously was.

*sighs* Whatever, Whatever. Where are we going?

“First we’re going to need to get transportation to Hammerfall.”

We could ask for a ride on a ship

*reading nearby* Could ask Aster, he visits on his ship

Looking over to the human lady. “Who’s ‘Aster?’”

A minataur pirate

“A pirate?”

Yes

“Well that’s a start…” he pulls out his smoking pipe. Making a face. “Damn. I’m out of tobacco…” (edited)

Thanks....And who are you?

Liliana. But everyone calls me Lily. You? And you seem eerily familiar...

Do you know my father?

Who is he?

Astarion

....He had a kid?

“He did indeed.” Says Baracus from somewhere in the room.

Baracus, a little WARNING would have been nice! *pointing to Valorie* (edited)

Oh so because of my parentage I'm dangerous? Didn't you get wild magic from your father? I heard stories of Gale.

...

And I'm the dangerous one

“It’s nice to meet you anyway.” Bhargon waves.

Now....Aster! Let's go find him!

“He won’t be in town today. He’s set to arrive sometime tomorrow. Unless he’s hit bad weather.” The elusive Owlin informs. Still somewhere nearby.

Ugh, we have to WAIT?! I never had to wait for ANYTHING!!!

Giving her a side eye. “That’s alright. I need to go buy more tobacco leaves anyway.”

You have money.

Ah you must have been a somewhat spoiled child then..

“Only a few gold.” He answers.

I mean, when you stole or scammed people to get what you wanted...

“I’ve… had to that.”

Hm. I see... Anywho *Returns to reading her book.*

“Well, I’ll come find you two tomorrow. Until then.” He bows his head and leaves the library. Just as a certain sea elf enters.

“Baracus? Where’s the section on dark magic?” He asks into the air. Immediately there comes a response from the back of the room.

“Back here!”

Dark Magic? Well aren't you interesting

Starts to make his way back, but stops when Valorie addresses him. He turns around. “Yes, I’ve a particular interest in it.”

00:45

With a head tilt he walks over to her. “I haven’t seen you around. Are you new?” He clasps his hands in front of himself.

Oh? I'm intrigued. I'm Valorie.

“Well hello there! I’m Tsadi Mortoso.” He idly brushes away a strand of hair from his face.

What are you? A merman?

“A sea elf. What are you? A fairy?” He looks her over. Mainly her ears.

Nope. Vampire

His face lights up. “Oh how fascinating!” He places his hands over his heart. “How old are you? How did you turn?”

18, and born a vampire

“I didn’t know that vampires could be born…” he grabs a nearby quill, dips it, and joys something down onto a blank scrap of paper. Stuffing it into his kelp bag. “I’ll have to remember to read more about your species.”

Enough about my race. Tell me more about you

“Well, we sea elves live in the oceans of the world. My sister, bless her heart, and I live in a structure a few hours from the docks, actually. Our lungs breathe water and air. Oh! And we can do this!” He makes an expression of concentration. Then you hear his voice. In your mind. “*Hello!*”

No...I mean...*whispers: The dark shit...*

The elf makes an ‘O’ with his mouth. Covering it with his hands as he chuckles. “Not here.” He holds out his hand for her to take. “But I know a place specifically for dark activities.” (edited)

*she takes his hand* Lead on

As he guides her from the library Tsadi does a little, excited dance. Happy to have someone else interested in the dark side of things.

*Kind of watched the interaction for a moment and saw the two leave. But focused mainly on all the books. Delving deep into the History of Ravenhold and finding out things about the World beyond it to see if she can gather enough information and clues to aid their journey.*

After Speaking to Baracus a bit she eventually left seeing as how she was pretty well alone again now.
