[He actually grins at that, a bright flash of teeth and a soft 'heh' which is probably about as close to a full laugh as Aymeric's heard out of him in years.]

Well, someone ought to be fussing over you, it's not as if you'll do it.

[strawberryprotector]

"And we're close to where we started at, so the opponents here are weaker. The farther we travel, the stronger the pokemon will get."

Ilphyl wasn't going to explain some of the thoughts they had on their own gender to a dark elf they just met; regardless of how Ilphyl felt, they knew they were a male drow to the society that raised them. "Because it's our hair. Keep it or shave it all off, that's our decision."

They were surprised that they had said that with far more a bite than they normally did when speaking of their life before they came to the surface. Ilphyl was so used to passing off their various issues with drow society as far more light-hearted than they were, because it was easier than dealing with humans' reactions when Ilphyl was serious about it. Which meant they immediately paused to gauge Jarlaxle's reaction. (Sorry, Jarlaxle, you are still Not Entirely Safe to actually be honest towards; Ilphyl just met you.)

[psionicmolotov]

Will it move again if you ask it to, or is it entirely resistant to any command? [ He is now curious, unfortunately. Maybe it's just easier to get them to do things they're already inclined to do, like most creatures? Or is there some condition to be fulfilled first? ]

[psionicmolotov]

Considering we are to battle with these creatures as our first line of defense... [ He gives the Inkay a little shake. It loves this.

For all Kimmuriel's griping he's hesitant to actually try and cause the creature true discomfort in an attempt to discipline it properly. He's already growing fond of it, despite himself. Nothing in the entire world has given him this much innocent trust, ever. ]

I find myself hoping that it displays less friendliness around an opponent willing to harm it. [ Which, given his less than impressed tone, he seems very displeased about. He doesn't care for this uncertainty shit. ]

Jarlaxle, meanwhile, is smiling at Ilphyl. "Exactly," he says. "That's exactly the point. While I'm no worshipper of Vhaeraun—" Indeed, the mercenary had little inclination to worship any god. "—I do think his followers have a point in their talk of sex equality. Another reason I choose to remain up here."

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Understandable he was curious. Ulaz had basically opened himself up to that question]

I am... or was Galra.

[gachatia]

Ah - it is not terribly arduous! And I am certain we could await your arrival here, or perhaps come to meet you should you not want to make the journey alone? It is not my decision to make, but I certainly would not be opposed.

[He can't exactly make demands of the literal Ancients that are part of the group, but he doesn't think G'rhyf or Estinien would be against doing something for Aymeric.]

[spacetogrow]

From what the information said, these creatures don't have much to fear from humans, just other sorts of creatures.

[ Which is weird. Outside of domesticated animals, sensible creatures treated humanoids as potential threats unless they were large and/or hungry enough to decide it was worth hunting one.

[Also weird that the humans here are so very peaceable. Enough that Ilphyl can just about manage a walking stick and a utility knife without being considered a serious danger to society.]

"That's not a name I heard often growing up," Ilphyl said cautiously. Mostly because while Vhaeraun was probably the least objectionable of Lolth's children to Her priestesses and Lolth-as-mother couldn't be left out to a society that was literal 'rule by the mothers', Ilphyl's mother had Thoughts on giving her sons ideas above their station.

(Meanwhile, the mun is laughing at the mental image of Ilphyl acting like they are one step from being sacrificed as a heretic after the first more than passing encounter they've had with their people in some time, while Jarlaxle is coming off like he's entirely relaxed and having a grand old time corrupting the youth.)

Re: New Bark Town/Route 29

[nevercaught]

"Nor I," Jarlaxle says, blithely. "But some of my men are adherents. I thought it prudent to learn something of the faith."

(Jarlaxle is old and has been through an awful lot—not to mention that he's earned the friendship of one of Menzoberranzan's greatest heretics. Nothing Ilphyl can say can disconcert him very badly.)

[questioneverything]

[Romelle nodded.]

I have heard that many of the Blades were forced to do unpleasant things in the name of maintaining their cover. I am sorry you had to experience that. It was good then, that they were finally able to meet you. Their alliance together helped them a lot during their battles, even if things were still difficult.

[She remembered how distressed Krolia and Keith both had been when they found out many of the Blades had been taken out by Macidus and some of the other Galra Druids in their attempts to get back into Haggar's- Honerva's good graces. But she did smile a little, albeit a bit sadly.]

Yes. There is an entire colony of us. The point in time I am from back home is difficult. We're working to save them. Honerva, or, as you might remember her, Haggar, has taken them under her control. We're attempting to find them now. We had been under Lotor's control all this time, hidden away from the rest of the universe. If Keith and Krolia had not found that day, we'd likely still be there.

Re: New Bark Town/Route 29

[spacetogrow]

"Your men... right, you're a mercenary captain or something?" Ilphyl had to dig up the memory of where they'd heard the name before.

Re: New Bark Town/Route 29

[nevercaught]

"Mmhm," Jarlaxle says. "Of Bregan D'aerthe."

(The name in the Drow tongue means something along the lines of 'assassins for hire.')

"We've got some bases established on the surface, actually," he adds. "Underground, of course." In both senses of the word.

[fingersandteeth]

[Steven's eyes go wide behind his glasses.]

Oh. Ah, funny coincidence. My partner is also of your race. I doubt you'd have known him previously, but he did serve under Prorok and as part of Central Command. His name is Thace?

[insidegalra]

I'll ask him right now, and tell my family what's happening. We'll get to you as quick as we can.

[Thace looks almost giddy with excitement, and delight, and maybe a little relief too.]

[copykiri]

Hmmmm.

[That's imitating a man's voice as Kiri puts her hand to her chin and thinks.]

You trainer or breeder?

[nevercaught]

... trainer, I think? That false mother would have told me if I were a breeder, wouldn't she?

[copykiri]

Breeders get notebook!

[And she holds up hers. And then shows off her newest shiny, Swablu, next to some not-shiny cousins.]

Trainers can find special shinies! You catch! Lend to me! I make best shiny eggs to sell! Give back. Fair payment for Mudsdale egg?

[nevercaught]

I do not have such a notebook, so I suppose I am a trainer!

And yes, I think that is quite equitable! Do we have an accord, then?

[copykiri]

Send right away! Watch sky for Corviknight!

[She pauses for a moment.] 6 hours, maybe.

[nevercaught]

[Jarlaxle blinks.]

So swiftly?

[copykiri]

Towns have teleport! Teleport to Cherrygrove. 6 hours flying. 3 days walking. Flying fast! Trainers need badge first.

[nevercaught]

Oh! I didn't know there were teleportation circles here! How useful!

I shall await you, then, with happy anticipation.

[copykiri]

[About six hours later a huge shadow swoops down from the sky, holding a basket? Kiri hops off once the Corviknight has landed.]

Adventurer Drizzt! Adventurer Drizzt!

[That's an awfully large basket for a single egg.]
