What? The World needs saving AGAIN? IC Thread 7

Mávro looked down at it and pointed a finger at it. Gray forceful energy lept from her finger and cracked it in half.
"How is that?"

[Valmark]

Eris giggled, leaning back and releasing Mávro from the hug.
"Pretty damn good that is" she said with a smile.

[Xihirli]

Mávro blushed, looking at the ground. "I will keep watch," she said. "You can enjoy your rest."

[Valmark]

Eris nodded.
"Thank you" she said, lying down on her bedroll happily. She hadn't expected all that to go on. She was honestly glad for the initial misunderstanding now.

[Xihirli]

After a few minutes, Mávro put her hands to her eyes and cried into them, shoulders shuddering as she tried hard to remain quiet.

[Valmark]

Eris shifted silently, and sat back up pulling Mávro into an embrace from behind.
"Rely on me" she told her "You have no need to be embarassed, no need to shoulder pain alone. Cry a river and I'll be here to support you, silly" she placed her hands on Mávro's, covering her frame with her wings.
"If it helps, now only I can see you- and won't judge you for anything, my friend"

[Xihirli]

Wordlessly, Mávro fell onto Eris's lap and cried. She cried until she had tuckered herself out, and eventually Eris found that Mávro had fallen asleep in her wings.

[Valmark]

Eris smiled, having stayed completely silent through the whole cry, stroking her hair and left a light kiss on Mávro's head.
"Goodnight, Mávro" she whispered.

Let's see... Eris, Leff, Harôt, John. We can stretch and cover the whole night.

And suddenly I can't remember how Leff's familiar's name is written exactly.

When it was properly time Eris woke up Leff.
"We are proper friends now... And she had a lot of pent up pain" she whispered explaining briefly "You mind having Haröt and John cover Mávro's usual shift?"

[Xihirli]

Leff looked to John, who grimaced. "Not at all," she said. "Mávro's been wonderful to us in general, but in letting us rest in particular." She kissed Eris. "But now you really need to get to sleep."

[Valmark]

"Fiiine" Eris kissed Leff back "Goodnight, sweetie" and leaned back down on the bedrool, careful to not disturb Mávro. She reaffirmed her grip and made sure the "wing cradle" was comfy, then fell asleep with Mávro keeping the elf in her arms.

[Xihirli]

For a change in pace, Sirthis woke up holding only his wife while Eris stirred snuggled up with another woman.

Mávro breathed lightly, her arms wrapped around Eris as she slept, looking almost serene.

[Valmark]

Sirthis groaned and stratched an arm, smiling at Mab and gave her horn a kiss.
"Morning, mother of our daughter and my wife" he whispered "I'm still the luckiest person alive this morning"

---

When Eris woke up, she reached up to rub her eyes, then looked down at who she was holding. She rubbed them again. Took her a while to recall in the haze of sleep last night.
"Right... You deserved some rest" she whispered softly and stroked the elf's head affectionately, not wanting to wake Mávro up. She wasn't sure she ever saw her so at ease.

[Xihirli]

Mab smiled and cuddled with Sirthis. "Good morning, my moon," she whispered. "Any other pressing adventures taking you away from me?"

---

Leff seemed also to be trying not to wake up Mávro as she softly chanted Comprehend Languages so she could actually understand Mávro for awhile.
Eris's words did cause Mávro to briefly stir, but not open her eyes. "Kaliméra, Glykiá," she mumbled.
Leff looked down sharply at Mávro before tapping her earring. Good morning, Glykiá.

[Valmark]

"I'm currently free as a bird" Sirthis said, smiling and kissing Mab.
"Though I wanted to pay a few visits in the Feywild, do some exploretion, now that I can come back in a word"

---

Eris nodded.

I think... Glykiá was somebody important who died. Her family member or maybe her charge.

"Good morning, Mávro" she said as delicately as Infernal allowed "I'm... Not Glykiá, sorry"

[Xihirli]

"What a coincidence. I was thinking of doing some riding with Grape and Grapefruit today," Mab smiled. "Where are we going?"

---

Mávro's eyes fluttered open in confusion as she looked at Eris. In a panic, she stood. "Eris!" She said before the memories came flooding back. "Ah... yes. Yes, apologies." Mávro glanced at Leff, not quite sure which emotion to convey to the Genasi. Leff put a hand on Mávro's shoulder. "You can't understand me, but I hope you're feeling alright."

[Valmark]

"Great! Let's see..." Sirthis gave her a kiss "I never visited the Murkendraw, that labyrinth with the big tree and Hyrsam's place yet. I should at least visit most of the Unseelie archfeys, before moving to the Seelies. I was told one should bring a gift to Baba Yaga though" he proposed.
"Or we could go visit the nymphs. Been a while since I met Amete- my son's there after all. I'm not sure it'd be entertaining for you to visit Tyzes, and I think I wanted to visit Stelus only when I'm done with other things, but there's that. Any preference before I choose?" Sirthis left out places he didn't think Mab should go to.

---

"Leff said that she's hoping you feel alright. She can understand us, if you want to reply" Eris explained, standing up "I talked about myself, but I'm not the only one here who stands by your side"

[Xihirli]

"None at all," Mab answered. "But yes, you'd need quite the fine gift to visit Baba Yaga. She's not the cowardly peon I can toss around, like..." Mab snapped her fingers, blanking on the name. "The bat guy. Whoever he was."

---

Mávro put a hand on Leff's and nodded. She said something in elvish.
Aklah rolled over and smashed the stone wall to get some sun on her scales.

[Valmark]

"Neiphion" Sirthis said "Or Nephion. I don't care enough. Anyway" he booped Mab's nose "Hyrsam's it is. Don't tell ahead of time, beautiful, let's give him a surprise"

---

Eris smiled at the other two, figuring Mávro used Elvish instead of Infernal for a reason so she didn't ask and instead started picking her equipment back up and went to pet Aklah.

[Xihirli]

Mab stretched and stood up. "We have time for a bath first, right?"

---

Aklah thumped the ground with her tail and nuzzled Eris.
"Time to keep going?" Leff asked.

[Valmark]

"Even if there wasn't we'd still take it now that you said that" Sirthis said, standing up to follow Mab "What's his place like? Anything I should know beforehand?"

---

Eris nodded.
"Let's see if we can get there today" she said getting on Aklah.

[Xihirli]

Mab lowered herself in the water, and soon they were joined by Vomiting and the two naiads. "It is a den of illusion, but not in the deceptive sense. More... performative. To enhance the mood."

---

Aklah whined, and Leff chuckled before producing some tasteless meat for Aklah. She sniffed Eris an pointed her snout at the food.

[Valmark]

"Unless you're a dragon" Sirthis giggled thinking of Titania's steed at the tournament as he dropped in the bathtub and let himself be washed "Still, now I look forward to it. As in, more then before"

---

Eris got to Prestidigitizing the food Aklah ate.
"Pretentious" she said, smiling.

[Xihirli]

Mab smiled at Sirthis as the naiads washed her and Vomiting attended to Sirthis. "And I am certain Hyrsam will be honored to meet us." She got out of the bath, and the brownies soon arrived to dry her off.

---

"Spoiled," Leff added, patting Aklah's neck before piling on.

[Valmark]

"Thank you" Sirthis told Vomiting when he was done bathing and followed Mab- although he used magic to dry himself off. He then got to dress up with his usual outft- shirt, jacket, trousers, boots, cape, gloves. Oh and of course his equipment, he almost never left the room without it. Especially armor and shield.
"Where's his place? I said I wanted to visit him but of course I didn't check it beforehand"

---

When Aklah was done eating, Eris spurred her towards South.
"Go!" she said, then turned sharply and stole a kiss from Leff, turning back towards the front with a giggle.

[Xihirli]

"You look dashing," Mab said as her brownies dressed her and coated on her make-up. She wore a shorter gown, like the one he'd met her in, that he supposed was for traveling, selected three silver rings for every other finger on her right hand, and finally she had the black dress tied around her waist with a red ribbon with a bow on the back. Her feet were, of course, bare.

---

Leff giggled and Aklah took them up into the air.

Mab took his arm and leaned on him. "Let's."
As they walked, she looked up at him.

It was difficult to miss the shrieking caw that came up over the clouds as three full-grown, pack-hunting birds, great rocs that blotted out the sky, passed through them, spotting a wyvern and friends to feed to their young.

Rocs (3d20)[7][11][4](22)

"Ehy! Food Aklah!" Eris exclaimed, reaching for Black Ice. No offense to the rocs seeking to bring them to their kids, but they weren't for eating.

Initiative! (1d20+3)[11] adv. (1d20+3)[5]

Aklah (1d20)[13]

Aklah flew towards the rocs, shrieking at what looked like free chicken wings and clawed at the rocks seeking to paralyze one.

Eris when they were close enough took flight.
"Need a place to sit, Mávro?" she said, standing on her own wings and tag-teaming the roc with Aklah.

Spoiler: Ooc

So, first Aklah. She moves into melee range of a roc (80 feet speed) and claw/stinger.
Claw 19 to hit, 15 damage.
Stinger 19 to hit, 7+29 poison damage. DC 15 Con save to halve 29.

Eris flies off of the saddle to let Mávro have space and Rage, Attack, Reckless (so advantage to hit her).
Black Ice
26 to hit, 22 damage
26 to hit, 19 damage
30 to hit, 18 damage
On the same roc Aklah attacks.

[Xihirli]

The rocs shrieked and gathered around Eris and Aklah. While one pecked and scratched at their wyvern target, two took advantage of Eris's open guard to rake and peck her.
Leff exploded into golden fire, washing all of their prismatic feathers in her soul-burning aura.
Mávro regrew on the wyvern.
