Re: GLoG 93: Something something something babies
Arriving
There are about forty people, twenty-five women and thirteen men, plus Prumathe, Sekhmet, a large snake with a human head and two tails, a half-drow captive and Samantha the brownie, who is hard to see- she appears most often as movement in the corner of the eye, and it's difficult to look straight at her. The ex-slaves are mostly wearing ragged old clothing, and several are bearing injuries. Nothing too serious, but certainly painful. Approximately half the slaves are human, the rest are a mix of goblins, halflings, gnomes, elves and dwarfs, with a few oddities- a white-skinned kor with long silver hair and quite unusually for her kind, no tattoos; an obese hobgoblin and a blue-skinned mudokon.
"We, uh, should let someone in charge know to get these guys settled. And figure out what to do with her." He nods at the half-drow, standing a short distance away and trying to look at everything she possibly can- if Sekhmet lets her.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Sekhmet has the half-drow's actions pretty well controlled. She can move her eyes and mouth, and not much else. Sekhmet marches her to the gate and then leads the group to the main office. "We should, uh, probably talk to someone in charge."Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Anika looks to the others who suddenly seemed in such a hurry which in her mind meant she had to hurry along as well. "You think the demons already back?! Yikes, I got to hurry then! Meet me at the well, Domhnall can take you there!" With that she turns into a large red hawk and flies back towards the well.

"Maybe we should have told someone what we were planning on doing before we, um, actually did it." That would have probably been wise. The half-drow doesn't fight Sekhmet's control; she hasn't figured out how. Mostly the ex-captives will settle down here- including Nocri, who has come to the realisation that, by selling her, the Fairy Godfather has forgiven her remaining debt. Or at least acknowledged she can't pay it, which is basically the same thing. So she's much happier than she's been in a long time, without that worry over her head.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

"There wasn't enough time. We did what we had to," Sekhmet reassures Prumathe. She brings the controlled slaver over to her. "We need to deal with her now." She tries to flag down someone of authority to help with their captured slaver issue.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

"Yes, we do. Hm. MERC might want her, they've got a no slavers policy. Intersection... Slavery's illegal in Inside, but she's not an Inside citizen, probably. There's nothing they could charge her with. Vigil are also anti-slavery. GLoG doesn't have anywhere to put her, I don't think." Prumathe's never noticed a jail about to put captive slavers in, so Vigil or Merc seem like the brighter ideas. Sekhmet also knows people in Vigil, but I don't think Prumathe knows that.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Reelshka arrives quickly after Prumathe and Sekhmet arrive with the slaves. She's quick to organize shelter and food for them, since that's what GLoG does on a regular basis. The rest of this situation is going to take some explaining.
"It seems you've had quite the adventure," the goblin woman says matter of factly. "I'm glad you brought people who need help to us, but there's clearly more to it."

"I, uh, have a friend in VIGIL. I can, uh, phone her." Sekhmet pulls out her cell phone. She begins dialing Geneva's number, but holds until Prumathe give approval. "If that doesn't work, uh, I'm sure MERC will take her." She gives the slaver a pointed look. How does she feel about being handed over to either of the two anti-slavery organizations? They won't be nearly as soft on her.
She looks to Reelshka for advice. "She, uh, followed us home." The prisoner doesn't have any visible restraints, but is standing stock-still, not moving except for her eyes. "What do you, uh, think we should do?"Last edited by bc56; 2020-11-10 at 06:31 PM.

"My sister, Nocri, was abducted by her loanshark and sold to pay off her debts. We, uh, rescued her. But had to do it quickly before the opportunity dried up. I'm sorry we couldn't warn you first, but... Time was important. We were told by Aethelflaed that if they had about sixty in the Groundtown warehouse, they'd ship them to Skyside for processing." And there's about forty ex-slaves present, so it was closer than Prumathe liked.
The half-drow doesn't seem very worried about being handed over to Merc or Vigil, but she looks with interest at Reelshka.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"That's... understandable, I suppose." Reelshka doesn't look pleased with the situation, but she does understand. She's simply a person who doesn't react well to being surprised.

"Uh, just her body. She would have, uh, sounded the alarm. Sekhmet looks guilty. This goes against her principles, but it would have been a lot harder to get away otherwise. "She's, uh, threatened to report everything she's seen to, uh, the guild." Sekhmet understands that that means GLoG's defenses as well. She noticed how much the captured slaver was trying to observe.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Re: GLoG 93: Something something something babies

Given that the half-drow doesn't have any special senses, she didn't see the ghost fence, nor any of the supernatural wards against intruders. Just the physical cactus fence that I think still exists.
"I could eat her. Would that make things easier?" The speaker is the large snake with the humanoid head and the twin tails, the first things it's said since it was freed from its cage.
"It... would not, no." Prumathe thinks eating the half-drow would make things easier, but he doesn't want to watch. And also it's probably morally wrong, even if slavers are the lowest form of scum.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"Ellie's a big softie. Most of the time, she's harmless. Right girl?" Sekhmet reaches under the table and gives Ellie a scratch. "She got worried because someone broke in and she didn't know who it was." Hopefully that's believable, because Ellie actually wanted to kill the intruders, but Sekhmet stopped her.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Reelshka's ears dip. This just got a lot more complicated.

"Yes, we were, uh, just talking about it. Do we give her to VIGIL or to, uh, MERC?" Sekhmet is busy measuring the pros and cons of each approach. MERC is more actively opposed to slavers, but she knows people in VIGIL which might make some of the work easier for transferring the prisoner, and the VIGIL base is pretty secure and should be hard to escape.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

"I think maybe Vigil? We won't have to pay them to take her off our hands, at least." And this soon after the wedding, Prumathe's finances are still a little tight. Paying MERC is a little outside his budget, unless they're cheaper than he thinks they are.
The refugees are splitting up a little, looking around and finding somewhere to stay. Samantha and Nocri who have been here before are acting as guides, and presumably some of the other inhabitants are helping.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"I, uh, have a friend in VIGIL. Should I phone her?" Sekhmet is unsure of the procedures involved in transferring prisoners like this. Do they just go there and hand her over? Will she even be able to maintain her control that long?Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Lucy probably fails to notice the arrow on the first ride down. The second time, however, she probably tries to drag Tuskfang along so they can 'double check', and there's good odds he or Jillian will notice by then. Even if she's the last to see, she'll probably be the first to shoot off that way.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

"Yes, you call her. I'll keep her still whilst you do." Prumathe walks to the half-drow and grabs her around the middle, pinning her arms to her sides and lifting her effortlessly up. She can't struggle; he's boosting his strength and stamina so even if Sekhmet let go, unless she has some magical trick that could help, she's not going anywhere.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

Lucy glances under the table at Ellie. There's definitely some uncertainty there. She doesn't act like a normal animal from her perspective. Normal animals aren't so hostile. "We never broke in. The window was open." Lucy clarifies.
[Giant Slide]
Going down a slide is pretty distracting, on account of being very fun. However on her second trip to the top, when she's adjusting her skirt to sit down on the slide, Jillian notices the arrow. "Lucy look! There's a big arrow!" She points at it from atop the slide.

"Sure, sure." Sekhmet replies. Her tea is drained, a lot of biscuits are eaten, and everything else seems to be finishing up. "I should, uh, probably bring you two back to your mother, shouldn't I?

Tuskfang is on the bottom when Jillian calls out. He's not quite as excited to use the slide, since he sees it every day. He turns to look in that direction.
"It must only be visible from up there! That's clever. Where is it pointing?"

"Um, I don't have any, but I've got her for now if you need a break." Prumathe didn't think he'd need rope or handcuffs, ever. He doesn't own anything like that.
