The girl eyes the two mages before her with her colorless eyes.
"The two of you think you can lift the curse? Then I shall tell you more.
It was almost a hundred and fifty years ago when they came to take our home. My great-great-great grandmother Alisha did not wish to leave, and she fought them in the courts, to no avail.
Still, my family refused to leave, so the buyers laid down a terrible curse upon my family and my house.
The house is the root of it all. It lies about a days' journey outside of Estark, towards the City of Guilds. Investigate this for me and break the curse, and my family's treasure will be yours."
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.
Cyouni listens carefully to the story. At its end, he asks, "You said that this curse will kill you soon if you can't break it. What else do you know about the curse? How to break it, perhaps?"
Kennar stands, a thoughtful look on his face. He looks as though he wants to say something, but instead waits for the girl's answer to Cyouni's question.
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
"I know this- that the ultimatum given was to cede my family's property to Lord Aeon. Alisha refused, and so he cast a curse upon my family. That is why I look as I do, and why my house is unlivable. I cannot go in the house- it's barred by a ward of some kind. My mother... she's still in there." The girl turns sorrowful eyes on the two.

Kennar shakes his head. "I did. But not anymore. I think we should hurry. The sooner we get this curse broken, the sooner this little girl can go home."
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
"Be careful...." she says softly, weaving the yarn between her fingers.
As Cyouni and Kennar set out, leaving the City, the guards wave idly at the pair. It appears that they're playing poker and not paying too much attention to who's coming or going.
The air is slightly chilly, and the wind picks up just a bit- nothing dangerous, of course, just enough to be bothersome.
The road is clear except for a wooden wagon led by some strange creature that resembles a cross between a camel and a horse.
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.

The creature barely even notices Cyouni, but thern catches a whiff of Kennar...and like all good beasts of burden, freaks out at the scent of burning things.
"Aye, what're you doin' to my dromad, you mad mages?"

A short, wizened man pokes his head out of the wagon.
"An if you'd the courtesy not to be on fire, I'd not be havin' this conversation!"
The dromad, for its part, rears up and breaks free of the wagon, taking half the rigging with it. The wagon clonks down into the road dirt, cauing the little old man to fall rather violently out.
He begins cursing rapidly and fluently in some language that sounds harsh and unforgiving.

I might offer to help, but I don't think it'd be well received. With that in mind, Cyouni replies, "Apologies for the accident. However, we're a bit busy right now, and must be going."
The symbol on his left hand flares with purple light, and then settles into simply glowing.
OOC: Playing a Swamp, hoping I don't have to use it.
The dwarf, for that's what he is, draws a truly large battle-axe from the side of his wagon.
"Leavin' me here with a cracked-up wagon after it's yer fault th' animal fled? Yer gonna pay, one way or t'other! Or I'll take ya t'court and th'Orzhov'll have your souls in bondage for payment! Stand down yer mana, kid, or I'll be takin' it as hostile!"

Kennar isn't especially afraid of the dwarf with the axe. But the thought of a legion of lawyers lining up to sue him sends a shiver down his spine. "Where were you heading," Kennar asks the dwarf. "I might have something that can help you get there."

"That's true," Kennar says with a sly look. "But you must have forgotten that I'm a mage. I can summon creatures."
Three bright flashes of red mana flow through Kennar's body, condensing in his palm. He waves his hand, and a fiery portal is ripped into the Aether.
Out of the portal step three goblins. They look as though they want to attack and kill everything in sight, but a growl from Kennar and they quiet down.
"I have larger creatures, but they are much more bloodthirsty. I don't know if I could control them for long periods of time. These goblins might be able to haul your cart for you."
OOC: Summoning three Raging Goblins. I was going to go with a Bloodrock Cyclops, but I figured it would try to kill the dwarf due to the 'attack every turn' thing.

...Something tells me that even should all arcane casters in the world unite, that the Grease spell would NOT be sufficient.
OOC: Can I maintain the goblins for lengthy periods of time without being close to them? I figure as long as I'm keeping energy in the connection, distance isn't a huge factor.
"Did I ask you for your opinions," Kennar growls threateningly at the goblins. "You eat horses. Cyclopses eat you. Do you want me to bring a cyclops here? Or will you pull the cart without complaining?"
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
OOC: Yes, but it won't be easy. Keeping mana for prolonged periods can lead to headaches and other physical effects, which can give you penalties on perception and whatnot. Also, your three castings of Raging Goblin are going to be unavailable for at least as long as they're hauling the cart, for obvious reasons.

OOC: That's fine. Kennar actually feels a little bad about what happened to the cart. Not that he'd admit that. And his sense of honor won't let him not help the dwarf. Not that he'd admit that, either.
"You will take this cart to Estark, and go where the dwarf tells you to," Kennar says sternly to the goblins. "After you've delivered the cart, you will go back home until I summon you again. Are we clear?"

The dwarf looks at the goblins, then at Kennar, then at the goblins again.
He walks to the back of the wagon and grabs some strong-looking rope, eyeing the goblins.
"Well, I s'pose I could try it."
He rigs the trio up to the wagon and pushes it upright, with a bit of effort. The fact that he's strong enough to accomplish this is a bit scary...
The goblins look at each other, then at Kennar.
"What, boss? Not horse... goblin! We EAT horses! Pull wagon? Sheesh... this sucks."

"Yer an honorable one, I guess. In exchange fer yer help, I'll be tellin' ya to stay away from the house on the hill right ahead. It's haunted."
