Turn 16a: Sound and Noise
Shalla Halfdark"I'm mainly just curious about what you have and what it's used for. I didn't have anything specific in mind."
The wisp bobs above the woman's head, thinking on it's answer.
"Well, I was expecting someone to claim something. Most of the other magi practice their own healing, that is what most of the objects around here are for, bodily healing that is assured to not harm yourself in anyway.
"You know, most physicians are against magical means of healing, as it just cuts their hard work by a wave of a hand. The benefit is, magic is unpredictable and even with powerful care, even simple things like mending bones or broken skin may end up worse than usual.
"Still, we've managed to procure and imbue part of our medical tools with such. Most of our rudimentary bandages and healing potions have that essence in them to empower their effects. The Healing potion is one example. We have much in stock, as mostly everything here is made for personal health...
"I'm rambling again, aren't I." the wisp said, to nobody in particular.
Ima Erifithili"Ima Erifithili, born in the Wood of Rainbows, raised in the Roaring Wheels, decided to give the City another visit and repay a few debts from thirty years ago. Had a note slap into my face when I arrived; read it, solved the puzzle, followed the northbound boat that was leaving at two o'clock, ended up here. You know what happened next."
((This Cove is not an island
))
"Damnit, I knew I shouldn't have-...Hold on. You understood my words? How did you know it was by boat and not foot? This place is easily reached by land, if you know the way."
The man loosens his grip, trying to sense any malevolent intention in the words. "
No. You aren't one of the other slaver agents. Nor a slave, judging by your bat friend there. The truth, I guess, sets you free.
"Kale! Release the mammal. This one is more intelligent than other scum in the city, no doubt learned... Wait, where are my manners? An Assailant never attacks without giving off his name, in this particular case."
The arms release their hold on Ima as she sees the one called Kale untie the net bindings. Her bat seems quite jovial to be able fly back into the air, and shows it by gliding above the torch light on the hunt for insects. The voice then speaks from behind. "Montago Alerio. I guess holding back isn't going to help my part. Still, I wonder how you did traverse the waters nearby. I didn't hear any rowboats coming in or see any light source for a ship."
The Elf turns about, to see a finely dressed man sporting a cloth tunic under a leather cuirass, complete with boots, pants, a gilded girdle and a wide-brimmed hat, with rapier lying in it's sheath on his right thigh. Montago's face appears chiseled and angled like a wide V with a thin brown mustache right below his pointed nose. He regards the notice with a smile, and shakes his head. "But, we're wasting time with you, Ima Erifithili. If you have debts, pay them your own way, but I and my men have a meeting to catch." He inclines his head in the direction of the cave nearby. "If you made it by Gin, then I do not want to fight one like you, especially a woman. The roving snatchthieves are not one we'd like to argue with, a special mention to those who can elude them." Montago said, eying the Elf's Cutlass.
He narrowed his eyes and strokes his mustache. "Say, what is a fine lady like you doing out at this hour, and following cryptic notes, if I may inquire?"
As we await Talarion and antlion12's posts, here's
an RP turn! Not sure if they needed rolls, but part is based on previous ones and the rest are hidden.
Also, Spinal_Taper, I have to request a more detailed Sheet from you.

You lack a bio, and perhaps a different name. I haven't seen any Necromancer or Apprentice with the Mc"word" ever. :3
