They sit in the court in a corner talking. the air grows electric, even snapping into bright lightning during some rain. As he speaks, telling a story, the air grows dangerous around them . Almost she loses control until he says:'do not worry she will never know, and if she does i will always be there for you.'Memories of men she has know, pain she has felt turns the air with startling swiftness from electric with excitement to heavy and thick in her fury.
Men always say that and they always leave tossing me aside. I cannot do this, I am sorry. good bye.'She does not see the fury in his eyes, or really hear his complaint how she is like all the rest. It is all she can do to keep walking, fighting her own addiction and desire.
Thoughts of her beloved keep her feet going. She stops to the first person she knows, even if she is a hated enemy, and tells her hi. After the man is well gone, and the enemy, she slinks back to roaring shore, determined to not go alone to where men are without her beloved again.

I liked that spell. I need to get more! I bought a couple of damages spells too. I did not get an ear though! Well to be fair there was no time. take an ear go to jail..or run and come back later for the ear.. not much choice.I will need to be careful now.I wonder how many ears i can collect before they hang me?

Re: Black dove
The graveyard grows silent..except for the normal denizens, skeletons and the like. blood stains the ground, as wind blows dust over it.
Not far from where the skeletons walk and blood dries, is a coffin, and a mummified remains are in it. below this is a woman.. who has uttered a spell of invisibility, and hums, which is all that keeps her alive.
When all is silent she stirs.. and pulls out a dress, which she stuffs her wound with, and ties with bandages. she crawls out.
She sees the way is blocked so she goes deeper into the graveyard, and finally reaches the river. Blood flows, but she is safer now. She takes the boat to shore, from the cave.
Arriving at the inn ,she is greeted by a wounded captain and morticia.. they ask how she lived and, coughing blood now she explains. they get her to a bed, and she is tended by them. The wound was near moral, her entire side is gashed. as the tend her, she whispers about her beloved to morticia then passes out.
Later, She finds out two things. Tamina has acted as a priestess, and she is now whole ..and vane is dead. Though dovey feels for tamina, and understands her lack of remorse, she cannot fight her own. Later, as she sings a song, tears cannot stop flowing. after she goes back home an write.
Charging a group of 200 flaming fist is definitely exciting, howbeit stupid. I cannot believe we all almost met out end. Vane was as reckless as black ever was!Probably why I liked him. At least the captain and morticia lived.
Nothing stopped the fist! Not grease, electricity, storm,not blade!. I think if I had not found that grave, and hid, I would now be swinging too. And now.. I realize i would have hated that..because..
I have those I care for. I will have to work on this. And I will have to work harder to keep captain alive. hes about to be married.. we cannot do this again.. toss out lives away after we are so close to freedom.
She meets her beloved then, to seek solace. the wounds of body healed,there are emotional ones that will be harder to heal now.
*edited to point out we took on 200 not 3 flame fists.*

Re: Black dove
Dovey spends several days domesticating as best she can. She spends time with her beloved, she sings at the tavern, she takes walks . Then one day she find to her amazement that the captain reaffirms her trust in him
I had some of the guys dig him up, and black brought him back. I told you I take care of my own.
she is overwhelmed with such joy her hair poofballs from static and lightning breaks in the sky. Later, she travels with the captain and a bunch of people into the naskel mines.. through much magical might the bulk of the group manages to kill all but a woman and her child hostage out side the mine, and all but one child inside. Later she writes.. in her room...
The goodies are always the same. "charge , cleanse the evil taint from the world.. ,,oops.. sorry all you innocents who died. ' when in actuality, if they would just stop, and listen, and talk first.. they might gain information. Like captain did.
They all thought he was going to make the deal, but he figured out what they wanted just by..hmmm
The goodies were like that with that wandering spirit too. it comes up saying ,begging...' help me I cannot rest until my bones are found' and the good types help how? by trying to send it back to the abyss. Which is really in the nine hells in a place thaty looks like the fai almost. The old bhaal temple I bet.. I bet that poor spirit was sacrificed to bhaal. they shound dig up the place. But no.. we are the evil wicked idiots. hmmph.
anyway, vanes back ...YAY!! .. sad for tami but maybe she will get closure now. he died. hes alive .. YAY!! ok.. calm.. storms in rooms are bad...especially when you have a cat staying too. though she looks funny all poofed by electricity when i pet her, or say yay to much..
I miss home sometimes. When I lay split near open , near death i realized I actually had two regrets.. That she almost saw me hang almost lost me because I was being foolish. She was glad to see me alive but it would have hurt her I know. I also thought of home, of spring, of laughter love and lemon tea.Tami is right to want a normal life. I miss that. sometimes I wish i could just.. just go home and maybe cry my grief away in mothers lap.. okaaay... the room just got humid heavy and ,eww..sticky..enough of that..
she makes some lemon tea, pets the cat,spends time with her beloved that night..cherishing it more..because who knows..tomorrow she may die..

Re: Black dove
After learning the entire crew is now wanted, Dovey , dove becomes more careful, not even going to amn unless in a crowd.She grows more paranoid, seeing every face as a threat to the captain ,eying every stranger who enters the goblett as she sings. On this day , she returns to her room flush with excitement. as she removes her hood her hair poofs explosively into a ball, making her resemble to a small degree a very scared cat.Or maybe a angel with chultan blood in her. finding their cat, she lifts it into her lap and as it purrs she write in her diary.
Well I guess we stirred the hornets nest there. I cannot even get close to the barber in the gate to get a new style. I asked the captain if we could kidnap him but the captain did not think there was enough money in it. Not to mention.. well.. its in a place we are wanted. naskel does not have a barber though.
I am a bit concerned about mealir. he hates the captain. he was not saying very nice things about him , even though he did save the child, and meaalir killed all the other ones by reckless charging.
They were saying roaring shore was no place to raise a child. hmmph. Yes, lets give the orphan to a paladin who will teach the child to be a paranoid over reactive snide tin can that drive always the people they claim to protect with careless words void of compassion, that or outright killing by mistake those they proclaim to protect, becasue someone accidentally calls a dire wolf as big as a worg.
this is a perfect place to raise a child. Lots of people to tend to it, freedom, a inn where you cannot get killed.. what better place ? I wish I had a child.
I would teach the child how to sing and call storms and also how to do hair styles. Need to look to their future , and barbers are very rare.
well , my beloved should be back soon It is funny how even a few hours makes me miss her.
she pets the cat, then goes about cleaning her self and the room. then she goes to the tavern, and sings, eying every face, noting everyone who is new.

Re: Black dove
Dovey goes to her room after the wedding.The air around her is damp and cool. This grows worse as she enters the room she rents.In the room, the damp cool air soon becomes a fog that obscured everything...except right in front of her. She writes in her journal.
we will be setting sail soon. as we become more hunted I suppose there will be less time on shore.soon this privacy I enjoy will be gone , and my beloved will not see me for long times.
The wedding was nice , except the captain invited a paladin.That was stressful for me. resisting attacking her, and also worrying she might hurt the captain.Some men tried to crash the party too. Vic stood guard. Red did not show up, which was a bit stressful since he had the rings. we scrounged some up.It was a nice event but bitter to me a bit.
There was black, wild and hardly ever seen now, dressed and looking handsome.One of the guards of another captain made a pass at me. He was handsome . If my beloved had not been there it might have been a real challenge to my vow to leave off men for securities sake.I do not think I like weddings.
Weddings speak of life of hope of happiness. Ours is not that life. Ours is where dreams are crushed, hopes shattered, and life is short hard and painful. But now the captain is at least happy. I think it is time to leave. Maybe she will go with me?
soon the fog is so thick in the room she cannot see to write, so she closes the book and goes t sleep, plotting how she can get away alive.

Re: Black dove
Late in the night as her beloved sleeps, she arises. breathing in a controlled fashion, she manages to keep the fog or humidity from growing to much. she writes her beloved a letter, and leaves it in the diary, hoping she finds it.
Dressing simply, she makes sure she has that delayed fireball scroll shes been saving. then she packs a second bag. In it she places the old wanted poster of the captain. On the back is a series of humorous drawings she one made, and a list of things she has learned. She also places he treasure map to the minotaur caves, oh it was expensive yes, and a nice bit of gold. She shoulders the lute she will take. Then, with a final look at her beloved.. and a final pet to the cat, she leaves.
She has some feelings as she walks. She looks at the delightfully scary mages who keep the place standing. She waves. as she walks she looks up the hill to the gallows, she looks at the tavern where she sang. she pauses, and the fog instantly builds around her again, as she remembers people.
Vane- rash and dangerous but loyal to the captains table.. he had beat alec to a pulp for sitting without permission. He had led the charge that almost got them all killed. a very exciting man..
Vic- cigar smoking hard drinking fighter who hated water if it was in a tub, she was friendly enough.. the time she was deciding what she liked to drink made her very drunk, and she almost got in trouble because she only drank a bit of each and tried to give the 'samples ' back for her moneys worth.
Morticia- cold and deadly mage who showed her soft spot by actually not making her cat a zombie.
the men she knew best..
The captain who liked to dance, she likes him still. To her he is a heroic figure, who gave her a home.
black - the delightful scary man she had loved,and the inspiration for her tatooo.
alec- the man who had once offered to give her free sermons on demand if she wished to worship loviatar, and who carried a small whip for such a purpose.
Red-the man who had all but killed what dreams she had left....the thought of him makes the damp cool growing fog of sadness around her thicken with humid fury.
she now walks on. At the docks she does not look back . she leaves. Once on the shore of the mainland she begins to look for her escape. she finds it near beregost.
TBC

Re: Black dove
There is a common way among people. Often they will leave a body dead if they are unwise enough to hunt alone. Dovey waits hidden , until such a one dies , trying hard not to laugh as the poor girl is surrounded by goblins, then cut down by cute little killing machines nearly half her size.
she waits, until she sees some pass the body by.As she does she cuts off her hair, until it is short. when someone tries to raise the body and then fails, shrugging and walking off..then she begins.
quickly grabs the body and goes behind a bush. There she dresses the body in her clothes. After , she places her items on the body..one of her rings, some of her gold, the poster , map , and lute. She waits until more people pass, running like little scared children from some cuties, again she manages not to laugh. then she pulls the body back to the road, casts her delayed fireball scroll, and places her hair on the dead twice ignored woman., spying a sapper, she takes her sling and tosses some stones at it. the adorably thing lets out a heart tugging little growl and charges, making her think of her beloveds cat.
as it hits reaches the body she , being a performer at heart, give a very,she hopes, convincing scream. The following explosion knocker her on her back... . as pieces pelt her she makes a small 'eww ' face. she looks at is what left. Then , she leaves.
Three days later
The woman sits in her room by the fireplace, her black dyed hair not cut short and neat, glasses perch on her nose.she is working hard to not make a storm. anxiety twists in her.
will she come?Will she betray? she regrets leaving a note now.She not even sure the body ruse worked. but if any one tries to raise it, they would fail. and she left clues to indicate in MIGHT be her. Suddenly there's a knock at the door. the air grows electric as she goes to it. IF the innkeeper liked the gold she gave him this should be her, and not the law.
she opens the door prepared to go down fighting. But she is not needing to worry, it is her beloved, and her beloved is alone.
"'Danika? '" her beloved asks with a smirk.
" Dovey is not a very safe name these days" she replies.
Her beloved smiles then get serious." lets go in side. I got your note.' Once inside they embrace then her beloved asks" what do you think your doing?"
" I want to still live. I saw the captain get married and I realized he had what i was never going to have. Not with the crew. he has a wife, he will have a family if they survive, and I .. won't even have a tub.Or a hair dresser. And.. though i made some coin, it was never what I hoped. so I am going. come with me.
I cannot just 'go' dear. I have friends here, this is my life.stay , an i will get you two of those things, somehow. marry me, and I will find a way for getting children.
If I stay they will kill me. maybe not the goodies but the crew .
a look ., cold and deadly flashes in her beloveds eyes." Not if they have a brain.
- This is, for the most part, the end of doveys tale, from spirited proud aspiring actress , to evil insane stormsinging blackguard pirate, to a hidden fugitive. her future could go either way, but from here, it will be a silent tale. Thanks everyone who helped make dovey so fun to play.
