Ivy and Chrome: Chapter 112

[Kitsune]

Cassandra takes a deep breath. At the moment, she does not want to use magical resources she may need to for an escape.
Instead, she will yell towards the tree, "Anybody there? There are Slaver Barges not too far from here."

In a bit of annoyance, she pushes her red lock from her face while looking around for others.

Kila glances at Raven as she leans slightly toward him and whispers " I'm ...."she stops herself as she thinks of his reaction to seeing her " Kila Reynolt". She glances to Cassandra and then to the others as she slowly lets go of Raven's hand.

Kila glances at Raven as she leans slightly toward him and whispers " I'm ...."she stops herself as she thinks of his reaction to seeing her " Kila Reynolt". She glances to Cassandra and then to the others as she slowly lets go of Raven's hand.

Once again, Raven's eyes seem to show some sort of internal conflict as he seems to drift for a moment, then focuses his attention to Ricky, Kira and Jenna, "The name sounds vaguely familiar..." he says almost under his breath.

The faerie then begins to chant, "You have to close your eyes and count! You have to close your eyes and count. You have..." and continues on as Cassandra looks to the tree.

Meanwhile the dustcloud to the east is revealing more to Dirk and Tyran. Tyran can see in Dirk's mind's eye that they riders on horseback, carrying various weapons. At least two to three dozen riders. They look intent on reaching some destination.

Raven's attention seems to shift again, as though his personality changed. He kneels down next to Kira and Jenna, glances at Kira and Ricky and asks, "How is she?"

All that Kira can see is that Jenna has collapsed, maybe from exhaustion. Lori remembers the wind whispering those words. Maybe there is a connection. The tree is radiating a massive amount of magical energy.

The faerie continues it's chant to the group, "Hey, how bout now? Will you play with me? If you do, then you have to close your eyes and count!"

Casandra turns towards where Jenna has fallen, "if it is something serious, I can put her in suspended animation until we can find some help?"

Walking over, she will try to make sure that Jenna is breathing and is not bleed. "Not much of a healer however. If anybody has any healing abilities."

Suddenly, she pauses, and a light goes on, "Help me carry her to the tree. If she is touching the tree, it will probably be willing to heal her. I can carry her myself but be more gentle if somebody helps me."

Kila watches. Raven as she answers Cassandra question" I have a spell that could help but I don't know how will it will work." Kila walks over to the person laying on the ground and taps Raven on the shoulder " may I try to help" she asks as she starts chanting quickly to hersself ( ooc going to use healing touch).

Kila walks over to the person laying on the ground and taps Raven on the shoulder " may I try to help" she asks as she starts chanting quickly to hersself ( ooc going to use healing touch).

Raven steps back, "Go for it." Cassandra finds it easy to carry Jenna to the tree. She is abnormally skinny. Kila concentrates for a short period and lightly touches Jenna. Jenna's face seems to fill with color again but she remains unconscious.

Bill asks Tyran, "What is it that you see?" as Tyran sees the riders seem to have a direct trajectory towards where the slavers were last seen entering the woods where the group was last at.

Lori notices a slight glow around Jenna. As Ricky goes and leans against the tree. The very same faerie who was chanting gives Ricky a sidelong glance, "Ooo! she likes you!"

"Who does?"

"Galatea, our protector!" She giggles, "You are silly!" As it flutters around Ricky.

Cassandra will continue to keep carrying Jenna until she is touching the tree. She moves pretty fast, not quite an Olympic runner but still definitely quite athletic.

Tyran takes his eyes off the sky, and decides to address the faerie before it gets too upset. "The Splugorth are already counting, and we're all hiding from them. That's why we came here, to hide from the Splugorth ... we hoped we could hide beneath your tree. Would you like to join our game, and help us hide here? Will Galatea allow that?"

Addressing the larger group, he adds, "It looks like there are two or three dozen riders also looking to join this little game, armed, coming from the east, and riding hard to where we just left. Either they know the Splugorth are there, or they're about to ride into a world of hurt."

Suspecting that he may need to pull a trick or two out of his magic hat if the Splugorth should arrive at the tree, Tyran begins to draw on the ambient energy surrounding the tree/nexus.

Kila keeps her eyes on the woman as she touches her lightly, following Cassandra as she walks toward the tree. (please work)she thinks to herself as she keeps her spell going as long as she can to help the woman.

The faerie nods, "yes, hehehehehe... hehehehehe... hehe. she might," and simply stares at the tree.

Addressing the larger group, he adds, "It looks like there are two or three dozen riders also looking to join this little game, armed, coming from the east, and riding hard to where we just left. Either they know the Splugorth are there, or they're about to ride into a world of hurt."

Raven watches Tyran and grins, "So, what do you have in mind this time?"

Kila keeps her eyes on the woman as she touches her lightly, following Cassandra as she walks toward the tree. (please work)she thinks to herself as she keeps her spell going as long as she can to help the woman.

Jenna's face seems to slowly regain color as she seems to just drift into a deep sleep. Between Kila and Cass, she seems to become more stable.

Tyran watches the riders finally enter the jungle where the slavers last were. Within just a few seconds, there is smoke rising heavily from the dense foliage.
