Ah met up wi' Eriis.

Ah wid like tae add though, that ah dinni trust this man wan bit. He's far too gobby an' disni know his place. To'ryll thinks he's awright, if a wee bit mouthy, but ah knows he waants her deed, so ah needs tae watch him fur her sake. Ah canni let anythin' happen ta To'ry.

//OOC read this link for the rest of this story: http://forums.layonara.com/1377082-post14.html

Anyway, ah met To'ry too an' she is aboot 3 months pregnant noo, an' apparently ah'm ra only wan who knows, tho' Aylana Pandorn suspects. Ah canni believe she used Cra'xis tae father her child - Cra'xis!! He's jist a dupe, a nuthin'.

Ah wis angry wi' her when ah found oot, but she's right tae waant a child; it'll cement her position within Daralith's schemes ah think: even males respect mothers-to-be. Whit she'll dae wi' it though, an' ah think hell'll be to pay if anywan finds oot who the faither is.

Ah'll need tae be especially vigilant fur her when she nears term. it disni bear thinkin' oan whit ah wid dae if she gets hurt.

Ah finished by sayin' a goat stick fur helpin' Lily, like, but man, ah near hud tae kill Eriis fur his cheek.

Then she telt Eriis tae go an' kill her, and ah hud tae pit mah foot doon, an' order him tae stand still. He said he thought only Solena wis giein' oot orders, like, an' ah telt him if touched wan herr oan her heid, ah'd huv his guts fae garters.

Cra'xis wis in ra backgrund durin' a' this, an' he wis tauntin' me sayin' he wis gonni folli her, an' cut her, an'... ye gets the idea. Solena wisni any better, ah must admit, but ah kin let her away wi' it, but no anywan else.

Ah managed tae get them tae shut up by sayin' ah wis gonni kill her, but efter ah hid played wi' her an' maybe used her tae help me trap Darthirae - that last shut them up. Well seein' they're no smart enough tae see intae mah heart proper, like.

Ah met up wi Razeriem again today, tae sell him two boaxes o’ mushrooms. A guid we earner. Ah met him in Lerningard, near ra far end frae ra lake, an’ he invited me tae see his hoose. Ah never gave it a thought, other than may be useful tae know, like.

Well, we wis flirtin’ wi’ each other, as ye do, and he showed me aboot his hoose. Zari lives therr, oar maybe be jist rents space, but the place wis nice a’ right.

So Raz takes me aboot and drops sum suggestions an’ a’ and we wis laughin’ an’ so oan, an’ he showed me sum statues he hid made. Really provocative an’ sensual they wis, an’ a felt masel’ warmin’ tae him mair an’ mair.

Eventually we made oor way tae his workshop wherr he said he wid like tae dae a sculptin’ o’ me. It musta bin lookin’ at a’ ra art efter so long in the wilds, but ah began tae miss mah auld life. We wis always surrounded by art an’ beautiful things.

Anyway, ah asked Raz if we wid dae it in obsidian, an’ he thought that wis a strange medium tae work in, then asked me whit sort o’ pose ah wid like. Ah dinni know whit came ower me, but efter ah hid looked aboot tae make sure he wis unarmed (an’ checked mah swords too) ah took a gamble, asked him tae turn aroon’, which he did wi’oot any hesitation, an’ stripped intae mah briefs.

He looked at me and his eyes turned soft and ah swear, almost teared – and ah knew ah hid him then. He said sumthin’ like, “Well, ah canni say ah’m surprised,” then we wis tumblin’ aboot ra floor an’ mair naked than a pair o’ new born weans.

Ah left later that night; he wantit me tae stay but ah thought it best tae leave in ra dark, just in case, an’ we exchanged kisses again.

Will ah see him again? It was fun and re-lit me as a woman, but he’s a darthir, an’ if ra ithers goat tae know… but maybe that’s part o’ ra danger in it?

He, it’s mah life an’ whit rights dae thae huv ower me?? I’ll gie his door a knock next time ah’m in toon…

So ah wis butterin' him up, like, standin' right beside him, cuddlin' him when ah wis kiddin' oan ah wis skerred, but he wis a true knight an' dedd straight an' widni' return mah embraces. But ah goat him talkin'...

Ah furgoat tae add, a while back, ah wis in Vehl an' met Vrebel an' Tralek Rivermar, an' efter some chat, we went tae ra arena so Vrebel could gie me an' Trally sum fighter trainin', like.

Man, it's tough jist standin' therr instead o' sneakin', an' Vrebel beat ra baith o' us hands doon, when we attacked him singly an' frae ra front. He kept sayin' ah needed mair power in mah strokes, but did agree ra mair subtle stroke did work too, sometimes.

Then it wis oor turn tae use whit he hid shown us tae go at him full tilt. We a' pit oor magics oan an' attacked. Ah sneaked in frae ra back, like, an' danced aboot him when he wis tryin' tae hit Trally, so between us we managed tae really hit him (an' mainly me - man, goat sume real crackers on too, ah kin tell ye), but it wis tough.

Ah hud a fight wi' Nestor today (see http://forums.layonara.com/1388932-post17.html for the public version).

The real reason behind the fight wis that ah tried tae kiss him, an' did, but he pushed me away and started tae get high an' mighty. Well, ah lost ra plot too an' after a bit, ah ca'd him a stupid male and said that we wummin were better'n males in every way.

Well, he blew up at that, and we set to each other. Ah goat a few good hits in, but his spells wis too tough an' he caught me and stunned me wi' a spell.

He cut me bad wi' his dagger, relishin' his first attempts at torture. He sliced away, an' probed wi' ra point o' his dagger a few times, until he stopped after whit seemed like a life time as he saw ah wis near tae death. Ah'm proud that although it wis fun tae start wi', an' it hurt near ra end - ah never gave him ra pleasure o' cryin' oot at a'.

Thinkin' forward, maybe ah could teach him sum tips oan torturin' people? But hoo dae ah gets him tae fa' tae mah charms, ah wonder?

//OOC to reinforce, we both agreed to PvP and used the widget. The fight was IC at all times, and we both logged happy with the events.

I have elaborated slightly more on the torture part here (as opposed to the public version) as geloooo is wanting to shift his alignment to evil, and this he did fully once he had me held.

Ah follied up Aesthir's message tae me (he his hired me tae get sum dirt oan Lance Stargazer), an' went tae see ra site he mentioned in his message. Ah took Eriis wi' me, as backup, jist in case.

(See the public version here: http://forums.layonara.com/1390582-post18.html)

There is two graves here, an' while ah wis searchin' a found a buried coin - need tae folli that up, an' efter a while, Lance Stargazer came oan ra scene an' took a few toasts tae ra graves. He moaned aboot hoo he loved them as sons, and blamed himself fur their deaths.

Hmm, need tae dig a bit deeper here an' find oot aboot these graves. Well kept area though; seems he cums here a lot. Could be a possible place fur an ambush, although it seems therr wis fightin' her ower ra years.

Ah'll get Eriis tae dae sum investigation fur me too. Ah gave him a retainer tae dae sum work fur me. Need tae keep oan tap o' it.

If ah gets sum good inside info, ah kin sell it tae Aesthir an' see whit happens next. No entirely sure o' Aesthir's motives, but he seems dead certain on gettin' Lance fur some reason. Seems tae think he his strayed frae ra path o' ra righteous.

Vrebel is teachin' him, like, but he wantit a sparrin' partner, so he asked me.

Ah agreed, oan condition they teach me hoo tae be a fighter too,'cos ah kin see as hoo ah'm gonni be needin' that sort o' skill in a wee while. In fact, ah met Nestor some time ago an' he said he thought ah wid make a great Warmistress, so that's him an' To'ryll noo who huv said that.

Anyways, he gave me loads o' info oan a coin he found, described it an' telt me ra inscription: it's wan o' ra missin' coins frae Old Captain Twinkltoe - but ah didni tell Raz that.

Tae stop him askin' me why ah wantit tae know so much aboot his coin, ah asked him tae help teach me hoo tae be a better fighter. Well, ah need sumwan tae show me; might as well be Raz, seein' as he's guid in that field himsel', so we went tae ra arena in Vehl and practiced fur hoors an' hoors.

He started by giein' me some tips an' suggestions:

and then moved on tae other stuff aboot hoo tae stand, attack, parry an' so oan.

an' finally went intae ra arena tae pit it a' intae practice

Well, we wis ferr knackered so we went tae ra inn, an' Raz took a room an' we crashed oot fur ages an' ages, but man, ah learned tons o' 'stuff an' canni wait tae pit it intae practice.

''annur karknalar' ah said as ah walked up tae him. 'Karkak hu'zznih iznur kark h'nak.'

Well, we laughed an' eventually, efter sum mair dwarf talk, went tae ra arena so he could try sum new spells in combat. An' that's when it went a' wrang.

He wis hurtin' frae an auld wound that hid become infected, like, so when we fought, he wis nae match really an' a near kilt him wi' mah second blow/

Anyways, he fell tae ra ground, then a sort o' mist came ower me an' a h wis back in ra Deep, an' when ah looked at him, cowerin' there, ah became ra true Warmistress. Ah placed may fit oan his back, ca'd him a slave, and liftit his heid up so ah could see his face, then ah plunged mah blade deep intae his side, laughin' as his life blood spattered mah face an' body.

He fell tae ra ground, deed, as far as a' cared, then as sudden as it happened, ra mist cleared again an' a saw him lyin' therr, bleedin'.

After this happened, a bloomin' bird arrives summonin' me tae see Solena (To'ryll Solen).

Ah wisni gonni go right away, but ah hudni seen her fur a while an' missed her, so ah went tae Leringard tae talk to her.

Well, ah shouldni huv bothered.

Ah gets intae her hoose and she accosts me right away wi' accusations aboot me an' Ni'haer (although she's only angry that ah failed in mah attempt tae seduce him), but she's furious aboot may affair wi' Razeriem.

Well, ah tried tae pit her aff by actin' innocent, but she knew awright whit hid bin gawin' oan. Ah think Eriis his bin yakkin' behind mah back. Wait 'til ah gets him alone...

The long an' ra short o' it is, ah tried pleadin' wi' To'ryll, even usin' her ain name, which she hates me daein', callin' her hunny, which she also hates, but she didni turn an eye at this at a', she wis so mad aboot me consortin' wi' Raz, the darthir.

So she tole me ah hud tae kill him; end o' story; nae discussion; nuthin'. Jist kill him an' then she might let me back in again. Ah appealed tae her seein' as she's pregnant, sayin' he could be useful, ah even kissed her oan ra lips, but she wus fur none o' it an' banished me frae her sight until Raz wis deed.

Ah even let her near strangle me wi' her whip too, tae show hoo repentant ah wis, but she told me she wid kill me right away if ah ever tried tae touch her oar kiss her again.

So ah left her, an' Eriis, who wis in ra background, mah tail doon, but mah heid high. Ah'll need tae think this through afore ah dae sumthin' rash. her hide, she kin be so intransigent. Ah may never get her back ra way we wis afore.

So whit did ah keep oot o' ra story?

Ah canni no ever see Raz again. It's no love, but ah dinni know whit it is, rightly. He makes me feel alive, so he dis. Mair alive than ah huv ever felt, an' a' ah knows is, ah canni no ever no see him again.

Trouble is, ah wid be lost if ah never saw To'ryll again either. Whit kin ah dae?

Well, wan thing at a time, ah thought, so ah approached Razeriem an' this time jist talked tae him aboot whit ra dark elves hid telt me tae dae tae prove masel' tae them. Ah didni mention To'ryll's name, oar any o' ra ithers either; that wid be too much o' a betrayal.

Anyway, we made a plan, well Raz did really as ah wis too emotional ta think clear. Ra plan wis that we wid go tae his hoose an' in the small hoors, watch fur locals cumin' doon ra street, then we wid step ootside his door, kiss, ah wid stab him (a' so the people could see this, o' course). The tricky part wid be tae stab him somewhere that wid leave some blood, but no anywhere vital. Raz came up wi' ra idea o' sum animal blood tae drop oan ra grund.

So he's supposed tae fall after ah stab him, ah run, he rolls towards the house as he hears the locals approach, swallows a potion to make him invisible, and then he takes off out of town for a day to make it look like he died.

Ah wid just run aff intae ra shadows.

Wance this hid happend like ah've said, ah sent a bird tae To'ryll, sayin' ah hid dun ra deed.

Ah'm noo waitin' oan her summons - ah dinni know whit ah'll dae if she disni buy it.

Ah said, 'Ye know. ah think it wid be easier if ah jist thought in dwarven, instead o' elven, then common, then dwarven?'
he said, 'Aye lass. I'm no expert, but that sounds like a better idea to me'
Ah wis encouraged by this, so ah talks tae masel', sayin' sentences an' puttin' words together in unusual ways tae hear them in mah heid afore comin' oot wi' them.
'Ye know,' ah said, 'ah think ah'm beginni' tae think like a dwarf too?' And shuddered at that that thought, then laughed.
Ah then said, very flatly an' unaccented, no trace o' mah common apparent, 'Kururt lurhrark paok lazr. A azl khurnn poazak an k'azrgth an pooa.'

Ah spoke sum dwarven tae them, tryin' oot may new grasp o' therr accents, syntax an' so oan, but we wis fightin' a lot, so ah'm no makin' a big deal o' it. Anyway, ah goat tae practice sum mair, an' that's whit counts, naw?

Kurn is a bit o' a killer though; ah'll need tae watch him ah think. Oh' an' met Czukay as well - man, he's strong. Kurn ca'd him Count Czukay, he jist introduced hissel' as Czukay, so that's whit ah ca'd him.
