Some time later, the elves throw a victory party. But the four, other elves can't have it until Herself arrives. Wilfie comes to the party to join the girls, but Meadow Morn tells him no wood sprites are allowed, elves only. He sadly begins to leave, but Herself appears and tells them that, at least, one wood sprite is allowed to stay, being Wilfie, before she magically picks him up from the ground with her wand, has him move back towards her, he falls to the ground, and they laugh heartily.
Herself grabs one of Creeping Ivy s vines and does a gymnastic flip over it before she escapes once again, causing Creeping Ivy to be brought up to a higher part of the room with her vines tangled and left hanging. Meadow Morn uses her wand to make Vendetta drowsy and fall asleep, Snow Drop uses hers to cause a wind chill to enter a window and make Thorn shiver, and Herself uses hers to make Creeping Ivy s spider earrings come to life, playing happy music on violins.
Along the way, they encounter a secret society called the Society of the Double Crown, who will stop at nothing to keep the secrets of Cleopatra hidden. As Samantha delves deeper into the mystery, she uncovers a centuries-old curse that has plagued Egypt for generations. The curse, placed by the Specter Queen, a powerful sorceress from Cleopatra's time, threatens to unleash chaos and destruction if the lost tomb is disturbed.
Thread: As You Command IC
The four of you, Dark Lord and his truest council stand atop the forecastle of your flagship, as it sails on through the plunging waves and churning waters you turn to see the two caravels accompanying you flanking you from the left and right. While normally in this formation you'd be able to see each man working on their decks the spray thrown up by churning ships prevents you from making out more detail than the masses of sailcloth whipping in the wind, as you near your destination.
Every sea chart worthy of the name shows this route now, so it was little trouble to find. The Horsehead bay route connects the Eastern Reaches of Marcelia and their beastclan borders with the river mouth that leads up to the capital. Most of the way, lighthouses and watchtowers sit at every natural feature that could give any trace of harbor making the route safe, but the Smith's eye lighthouse was destroyed as one of the countless fires of war engaged it. This has left the ships vulnerable for longer than they'd usually be.
The trading fleet ahead of you was chosen for a reason. Various factors ensure it is more valuable than usual. Rumors have came in that in his desperation for military allies and famine relief Emperor Marcellian is attempting to form a marriage alliance with one wealthy lady or another. Highsong and Vanduim social circles are both abuzz with this news but Cypher's information network suggests that Lady Aeronwen of Clan Gwastatir has sought out prestige and renown by tying her name to that of an Emperor. Her family is selling horses to the emperor so he can rebuild his cavalry, and is now sending food relief and gifts of precious metals, artworks and coin.
It's around 6 in the morning. Perhaps you woke early, perhaps you have been awake for hours preparing for this. There are a few ships and boats that can be glimpsed in the distance as the sun begins to creep over the horizon. Above the ships, catching the early morning light are a squad of well trained four Pegasus knights, light beginning to glint off of their shining plate amour. They're the outer guards of this convoy, meant to prevent any raiders from even reaching the ships, slashing at sails or starting fires to disable them early. You'll have to take them out first. The ships themselves carry several well trained Marcelian marines, while your crew will be able to handle many of them they'll no doubt need your help if they're to take the ships before any reinforcements can arrive, much less if they're to have enough men fit to sail to take your spoils back home, and it presents plenty of opportunities to impress the men as well.
And that, of course, is the other reason you're here, the leader of your retained pirates, Captain Zukkad is even know watching you carefully from his position at the ship's wheel. Cypher has long known the man has ties to powerbrokers among the corsair coalitions, and while there are no signs he means to leave without your release it's likely he'll be seeking to return to those courts in the near future. His opinion of your competence, ruthlessness and fair dealings will be further shaped by what happens today, and will significantly influence your chances of getting a good relationship with the coral corsairs set up.
File this one under "Woke up from a cold at three in the morning when you're seven years old and turned on Cartoon Network to keep yourself distracted from being sick." The deepest pits of the VHS caverns, like faded rerun memories. Pretty cute, though. I love the little noodle limb designs everyone has, and there's some really nice voice work. By the way, it's my birthday, and I'm going to watch a lot of stuff in the next day. Be excited.
