Zen clears his throat to let the little girl know he's there, then walks up to her, approachable as ever.
He kneels down beside her, then asks "Excuse me, have you seen a lady mage around here? She's probably very grumpy, and may have a little dragon with her?"
"Well, it seems we have no choice," Serato says in light of Szordin's terms; "I am not happy about this arrangement. I will be watching you. Make one wrong move, and at the very least I will make a peasant out of you."
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

This is Deraxas we're talking about.
Remember, the girl that just killed an aspect of herself before literally consuming her?
Yeah, I don't see her handling a pissing match in any way other than a duel.

I suppose it's true. Though the logistics implied in a human/Great Wyrm Prismatic Dragon pairing makes me shudder.
...Something tells me that even should all arcane casters in the world unite, that the Grease spell would NOT be sufficient.
The girl turns to Zenith and looks him up and down.
"Do I look like an archmage with the power t'blow up half the planet? Why're you askin' ME?"
She tosses her ponytail over her shoulder, hands on her hips.
He smiles at her. "That was a nice sidestep. Looks can be deceiving, especially in a place like this. I was told that this was the place to find Shalandra. I've travelled from very far away, another plane, in fact, to see her, so if you know where she might be, that would be really helpful..."
"Something will happen? What? I want to know, What will happen? Wil it be exciting? will it propel us into adventure? tell me i want to know!" Bounds the Gnome towards Szordrin, his face that of a little child in the mist of raptured anticipation.

Szordrin looks at Oreo, smiling like a father "You are a curious little one, what exactly are you?" he says to the little creature bouncing up and down
Without even looking at Serato, Szordrin speaks with words cold as his own emotions "You can watch all you wish, but if you were able to do so efficiently then I would never have managed to gain the essence to begin with, now would I? But I do not intend to hide from any of you, at least not for now. When my mission is completed I will return what is rightly yours, fear not on that." Szordrins words, seem serious and yet, full of honesty at the same time
"Damn! What in the name of the Spider Queen's Drider pet sock puppet is going on!?"

"You know, I've heard things about her... secrets. If you pay me... I might tell ya." She smiles sweetly.
Now it is Zen's turn to roll his eyes. "Everyone needs their secrets, little girl. All I need or want to know is where she is. Now that information, I'd be happy to pay for" he says, pulling out a sealed packet of high-grade elven sweetbread, decorated with sugary honey icing, filled with cream from his pack. In his other hand, he holds a small bar of platinum (approx 100gp worth).
"If you can tell me where shalandra is, you can pick your poison..."
"Hm, let's see. Platinum...and a low grade at that, or something that'll make my butt as wide as you are tall. Gimme a break."
She gestures widely.
"Why do you need to talk to her, anyway? She kind of a *****, and I hear she polymorphs those who piss her off. You want to spend the rest of your life as a flowerpot, go ahead."
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

"He is the incarnation of Death and Destruction, the ultimate Omen of Disaster and the Driving Force behind Armageddon, he also does bar mitzva's, birthday parties and social gatherings where he entertains people with illusions... well that is when he remembers not to use the ones that kill, oh and he is a gnome" says the Raven with dripping sarcasm.
"Poe! must you always make those jokes? I have never killed anyone in a birthday party!" Oreo says sullenly at the Raven, deeply embarrassed.

"I see, so your bird does most of the talking and you do all the tricks? Well if that is the way your partnership works, then so be it." Szordrin says as he leans against the bookshelf making himself semi-comfortable
"Well, I understand noone here trusts me, or even likes me. But you'll get over it, or forget it, thats your choice in the end. I'm not here to make your lives miserable, I just need a little help to get a job done, thats all. So why don't we at least try and get along a little, it may go better for the rest of you that way." Szordrin says with a smirk on his face

"You could have greatly ameliorated your situation by not stealing the Essence in the first place," Serato replies; "Are you surprised by our reaction?"
Alacar shrugs. "I didn't say I didn't like you. Trust is something you earn. I don't know you well enough.. and based on first impressions... you're not doing well. But if you know where we need to go, then I'm all ears." Alacar offered.
"No, I'm not surprised by your reactions at all, it's typical for others to look down upon me, but hey, it's not my problem. But as for where we need to go, we must return to Maermydra, there we will find an entrance to the castle, unless he has noticed my deception by now."
Szordrin lifts himself off the wall and walks up to Serato
"Listen, I may not be able to explain myself, but you have my word, I am not your enemy, and never was. I work for my Goddess and she protects me in return. My mission is mine, I just need some aid, thats all, this is arts I have, I'm sure they'll prove useful to you before long. As long as we can avoid our blades at each others throats I'm sure we'll get along great, otherwise I'll have a larger price on my head." He turns around to expose his back to Serato

"Well I dont carry any baldes" Oreo says as he begins to pat himself down, he looks at Alacar "Hey can i borrow a Blade? if we are going to have blades at each other's throat then i need one right? Oh and whose throat do i have to put it on? because.... hmmm... well im rather short so it would be awefully nice if you guys started kneeling a little" Oreo says in his usual bursts of speech.
The raven just sighs "Why did I ever answer his summons?" is the only thing it says.

Zen laughs, remembering a previous life for a second. "I did spend a week as a goldfish, once, a long time ago, thanks to her. She took good care of me while I was, though." He smiles.
"You seem to know more than I do. I received a message from her that I needed to come here, that she could use some help. It was very cryptic, really... I need to find out what it was about. Let's just say we've been allies on many occasions, despite some disagreements."

Caex looks over at Kaulesh with a resigned expression. "Well, he did say he'd be in the library. If Apachai hasn't killed him yet, I suppose the others will want to know we're okay."
Caex makes the short journey back to the library. A part of him quietly hopes he'll find little chunks of Z all over the floor, with Delamare lecturing Apachai about how wrong it is to randomly kill things that aren't undead.
Everything scares me... kitties scare me... squirrels scare me... corpses....corpses bring forth a pletora of confusing feeling which i prefer not to dwell on...:p
Alacar arches a brow. He stole Caex's essence? Crossing his arms he sighed and waited. "Well then.. I was about to ask if you wanted to help us get these essences but you're already ahead of us." He glared.
(Yep, Alacar finally has a color.)
Quote from me »
Alacar, why is it that every time I leave, even for just a few hours, new people pop out? Do they have talking weapons that let them teleport as well?"
Sorry to spoil that one for you. Apachai owns that one! Try again!
Caex looks over at Kaulesh with a resigned expression. "Well, he did say he'd be in the library. If Apachai hasn't killed him yet, I suppose the others will want to know why"
That's how I read that at first. I was like, what the ****.

"You do know that your group is currently outside, debating life, the universe, and everything, and that if everyone came to me with their problems, there wouldn't be a world LEFT." Her tone is not unkind; more like resigned.

Walking away from everyone Szordrin moves to the doorway of the Library "I know of an entrance nearby. We can make it underground from there. Unless someone else has a better Idea?" he says not looking towards anyone for a possible change in plan
