Welcome Haru <3
21:31:11
I yawned before stretching my arms out a ways, rolling onto my back as I did so. I slowly sat myself up after a moment and looked around the now-familiar room at the tavern we had remained in for the past few days. "Mornin', love." I sleepily grumbled out, before again letting out a stretch paired with a yawn before standing to my feet and walking to my pile of clothes. I began to slip on everything I usually wore, making sure it was all tied up and snug in place.

Luna stretched a little, yawning as well. Hnn... morning my dear.
She smiled at you rubbing her eye before getting sat on the bed and watch you getting dressed up. Hmm... I'm so hungry.
She muttered before sliding the sheets aside and hopping off of the bed. She walked around it to reach you and got on her tiptoes to sneak a kiss. She grabbed her clothes and started dressing up slowly. Shall we go downstairs to get something to eat?
She asked as she turned around showing you her back Umm... could you help me wearing the corset?

Welcome Dom in training ^^
21:39:24
"Sure we can. Though, we might hafta ask 'em to not slip us anymore aphrodisiac for the time being." I chuckled before turning to tie up the backside of the corset, tugging the strings tight so the corset fit snug around your torso. "As nice as it'd be to have another little romp, the folks at the guild are no doubt waitin' on us." I checked my satchel for the parcel I was meant to deliver, confirming I hadn't lost it and patting it in place to reassure myself. "You feel any better from last night?"
21:42:25
Deleted
She let out a big sigh as you tightened her corset, it blowing out all the hair in her lungs. She turned around and gave you a little sly smile, before giggling I didn't expect you to be so sensitive to aphrodisiacs. You're big and buff, should take a huge quantity of that to bring you down...
She kept giggling before grabbing her bag and heading out of the room. You went downstairs and Luna moved towards the high elf behind the counter, asking if they could deliver you something for breakfast. The man smiled at her and nodded, Luna put a couple coins on the counter before going to sit at a table
21:47:42
"Well, they loaded up everythin' with a ton of it. And even then, we ate a lot of food and drank plenty a' wine. And even -then-, it isn't like I trained myself for resistance to that stuff." I followed along as we headed downstairs to find a table. I idly tapped my fingers on the tabletop while we waited for the food to come out, still soothed by the pleasant warmth of the tavern. "You didn't handle 'em all too well yourself, from what I remember." I teased at you a bit, chuckling after I spoke.
21:52:15
Throws popcorn on Aleda's face

Hey..!
She perked up a little, blushing at your teasing words. It wasn't me who started it all... if I remember correctly.
She murmured, before sitting at the table and reaching your hand with hers, interlocking your fingers. After a short while the blonde girl came at your table with grape juice and some baked sweets. "I wish you a good start of the day, sir and madame!"
She smiled at the both of you before leaving. Luna started eating and drinking before her expression started to look a bit troubled So... today we will have to take important decisions... huh?
21:57:05
bonks Haruka with a balloon Actually, I have to eat something lmao bbl
21:58:20
sighs and bonks everyone that's going to bonk him LET ME EAT DAMMIT
runs off
22:00:27
I took a slow bite from one of the pastries, chewing it over for a moment before beginning to speak. "Yeah... I'm thinkin' we will. I still don't really know how to go about tryin' -not- to attack 'em. The orcs, I mean." I mulled over another bite of the pastry while occasionally squeezing your hand with mine. "I still can't believe they had no idea there were orcs down south."
22:02:44
Grabs Aleda's jacket from the back and forces him to eat popcorns eat this instead!
22:06:04
Deleted
Well... They had no reason to worry about them before the attacks started, that's what I think.
She ate slowly, gulping down some glasses of grape juice while playing with your hand, giving a look at the door that led outside. Uhh... I think that maybe Gladys will have some better ideas than us. She seems to be used to diplomacy. I really don't know much about this kind of stuff, as you know I spent almost all of my life in a church.
She spoke in a low voice, eating another pastry.
22:06:05
such an aggressive crowd, absolute madness!
sips coffee
22:07:27
Grabs Ezu and forces him as well you too!
22:08:12
Nods welcome and agreement at Ezume. I wouldn't recommend asking for popcorn.
22:08:31
*shakes head too late
22:09:02
jumps in surpriae h-huh, I don't need no popcorn!
swipee popcorn away
22:09:14
surprise* swipes*
22:09:21
"Huh." I took a sip from the juice that was sat in front of me in my own cup. "I took her fer more of a fighter than a talker." I shrugged before finishing up the pastry I had been biting at. "Then again, she's got kids to take care of. Doubt she wants to risk herself in the fray with all that responsibility.." I yawned again after a moment, still waking up from the pleasant rest of last night. "I hope she's got some ideas, 'cause I ain't exactly sure how we would go about that anyhow. I mean, ya saw what happened the first time..."
22:09:38
"Just can't imagine things're gonna go any different."
22:09:54
Grabs Ezu's tail and smirks you're not going anywhere, sit down here with me and enjoy the show with popcorn
22:10:35
jumps again from the tail grab h-hey! I-I wasn't plannin' on it!.. and no touchin' the tail!

I'd like to imagine that if we put them in the corner they'll eventually surrender. After all they don't want to be wiped off, do they?
She played a little with her fork, keeping to stare at the door with a distracted look. She quickly finished her breakfast and got up of her chair, waiting for you to finish. I just hope that her and Ontharr have come up with solutions... because I don't want any further bloodshed.
As soon as you finished eating, she took your hand and led you out of the inn. The sun was shining bright that day, the streets were already flooded with people going back and forth.
22:13:37
sighs a breath of relief and takes a seat, comtinuing to sip a cup of coffee
22:14:50
jumps again befre reactively taking away tail d-doesn't mean you get any permission to touch either!
22:17:33
"Death is preferable to surrender, in their minds. Sure, they'll perform some tactical retreats if necessary..." I bit down on another pastry. "But they'll never lay down arms for someone else. They see it as weakness to do anythin' but fight to your last breath." I carried out one of the pastries with us, nibbling on it as we walked through the sunned streets towards the guild's building. "Just don't get your hopes up, s'all. I hate that I've gotta say that, but there's very little chance that any of this works out in any other way than more death." A grim look sat firm on my face before I raised the pastry to my mouth for another bite.
22:18:26
Bye All. *shakes head feeling a little sorry for Ezume.

Muttering, "at least they are not patting his head"

I... I can't help but still hope that there was another way to solve this. They might be strong but... if they engaged in a war I really doubt that they're gonna end up victorious.
She murmured while looking down at her own steps as you made your way through the streets. Well... I put all of my hopes in the adventurer's guild's decisions. I know they want to protect the city, but as Gladys said it's not that easy to engage in a war right now. One of the few good things politics did to this nation... the king wouldn't want them to. We'll find a way to handle them.
She said, as the scent of freshly made bread filled your nostrils as you walked through the shopping streets.
22:23:56
"I don't really think they care if they win, so long as they inflict enough damage to cause some permanent setback." I shrugged as I cast a quick glance over the various shops and vendors. "Maybe they do care about winning. But I wouldn't put the first bit behind
22:27:57
'em. Backwards savages..." I wrapped an arm over your shoulder as we strolled along, pulling you a bit closer to me. "Guess we'll have to wait an' see what she's got in mind..."
22:29:08
Deleted
Luna nodded her head, drawing a deep sigh and bringing her hands to her chest in a silent prayer that things would get solved as peacefully as possible. Once you arrive at the adventurer's guild, there's a lot more people than usual around, Gladys stands in front of the doors talking with Ontharr and giving directives to some of the people. As soon as her eyes spot you, she sends off another group of people, welcoming you two with a serious face. "Good morning. I hope you two slept well, today's gonna be a very important day."
She said, Luna giving her a solemn gaze before bowing. "No need for formalities, we're friends now."
She waved her off before turning towards you. "I've got news. From the capital."
22:32:58
I cocked a brow at the mention of the capital. "Oh? We garner the attention of the big shots, now?" I chuckled a bit before clearing my throat and letting Gladys continue on. "Well, don't let me keep ya. What is it?"
22:34:41
Deleted
"We got permissions."
She said, showing you a letter with the royal sigil on it. "I've talked to one of the Zentharim's representative, they said they're willing to give us permissions to put our forces out in the next battle. This is not acceptable that some bunch of orcs stops our marketing nets."
As she spoke Luna saw her whole hopes crumble. "I sent out a bunch of scouts to investigate the area and find the perfect spot for a battle. We're to divide them in groups before assaulting their main village."
22:38:41
"Call yer scouts back. I know dem woods inside an' out, best not to make any presence before we attack." I scratched at my chin for a moment before picking back up again. "We take one village at a time. Organize a group of soldiers to surround the place, then launch an assault. That way if any messengers happen to try and slip off we can cut them down and deal with the rest. We can cripple their sustainability at the same time, torch their fields and such."
22:42:22
Deleted
"I see, we'll need you to mark the spots on the maps. Come inside."
She said before gesturing the both of you to follow her. Ontharr called for Luna and asked to talk with her for a little. She appeared really demoralized, but followed Ontharr anyway, waving to you as you get separated. Gladys leads you into a large room, a map of the entire country on the table and some wooden pieces. "So... we have three factions joining us. I don't think you're familiar with war strategies and factions themselves. The red ones are the soldiers of the Lord's Alliance. I am their captain. They're specialized in melee combact, they've been trained to do war and can easily face the orcs. We have weapons and horses."
She explained, gesturing to the red painted pieces on the desk. "Next one is the Gauntlet's men. The blue ones. They're war clerics, but they also consist in a potent frontline for our men to go and break in. Last but not least, we have the scouts of the Emerald Enclave. Archers, good at setting up traps and find the best spots to put them in a bad position militarly speaking."
22:50:52
I nodded, marking down various spots on the map in the southern forest region to detail where the villages were and what spots would be optimal for positioning and engagement. "Take equal amounts from each faction and make warbands of 'em. I'll take one along with me, and switch 'em out for another group after an assault should they sustain any wounds. The main village is more of a fortress, so we'll discuss that more in-depth after we've taken care of these little offshot villages."
22:54:12
Deleted
Gladys nodded, following you and positioning the pieces around the spots you marked on the map. "Do they have a boss or a king or something like that? I'll admit that this is the first time I get to face a whole tribe of uncivilized."
She admitted, sitting down and starting to mark some other spots on the map. "I sent the scouts to find spots to set up camps for the soldiers to rest and get healed by our priests. Some are already on their way to get the job done. I'll let you have a little legion of men, we haven't many soldiers to work with but they're all well trained and well equipped. You'll be provided a horse, an armor and a better weapon if you need one."
23:00:14
"They've got a few tribal leaders, the heads of their whole thing. That an' a single elder that has final say." I looked over the plans she had laid out and nodded. "That's fine, won't need very many for the smaller villages. As for the armaments, no thank you. I just need one trip back to my cabin an' I'll have what I need."
23:04:21
I paused for a moment afterwards, before preparing a quick question. "Actually, you got any kinda shops around here that sell hydra fangs?"
23:06:20
Deleted
"Alright, if this is all, I'll let you go gather what you need right now. We plan to set the first attack at dusk. With the favor of the night it won't be easy for them to escape and go warn the other villages. We will attack simultaneously multiple villages surrounding them and slowly approaching the core."
She raised an eyebrow at your question "Hydra fangs? Not a very common item, you should probably see at the black market for something like that. But I doubt you have currently the funds to afford something like that. If you need an enchated weapon we can make one of the Gauntlet's priests enchante your axe right now. Will take a couple hours though."
23:08:42
I shook my head, digging into my satchel and pulling out a hydra fang of my own. "No worries, was just wonderin' if I could get a replacement fer this. Oh well, I'll go out huntin' again after they cycle back through." I pricked the tip of my finger with the fang and held it up, mumbling incoherent chantings at the fang that was now stained red from the blood droplet.
23:11:37
I continued to mutter for a moment before finally speaking clearly. "Return to me." The fang slowly lifted itself from my fingers and begin to glow, before exploding into powder and temporarily blinding the both of us. I quickly squinted and rubbed a hand over my eyes, only to find that my axe from back at home was now dropped on the floor in front of me. It was in the same pristine condition I had left it, but now the tooth hanging from the bottom of the shaft was missing. Only the string that held it remained on the shaft.
23:14:01
I smiled to myself, quickly hefting the axe up into my hand. "Was hopin' I did that right."
23:14:27
Deleted
Gladys gasped and covered her eyes as the light blinded her. She stared at you with widened eyes, blinking multiple times. "...! I... surely didn't expect something like this. Well it's even better to know that you can use some sort of magic. Even if I never trusted magic, I prefer brute force."
She said before getting up and walking around the table to reach you. "About your lady... I told Ontharr to bring her somewhere safe, she won't be joining us in the attack. Frankly, as a commander, I wouldn't want dead weights... or dead, at all."
She sighed "I hope you understand. War is not something made for delicate ladies..."
As she spoke she held the intricate pommel of her sword, which glowed purple "If you're ready to set off, we'll reach the others and bring with us a couple legions. The rest of the men will gather at the other spots for the attack."
23:19:29
"Eh, just a little offering for that sole purpose. I've got no clue about magic besides." I cocked a brow as she walked closer before a slight hurt look crossed my face. "What? -Dead weight-?" I gave a half-laugh of disbelief before frowning a bit. "She ain't some delicate princess, ma'am. She can handle herself. She just.. doesn't much appreciate violence." I groaned before laying a gentle hand over her arm. "I'll follow through. But Luna comes with, in some capacity. Even if she's watchin' from afar, she's gonna be there. Alright?"
23:24:17
Deleted
"I... Listen, I can't guarantee for her well-being on the battlefield. There is no room for babysitters. This is war. We're here to solve an important problem."
She put both hands on your shoulders, giving you a stern look. "I want you focused. I can't let you being worried about her while you fight, this might lead to terrible consequences."
She said keeping that stern look on her face, before walking past you and opening the door. "She would do more harm than good... but if you wish to discuss things with her first, I told Ontharr to bring her to the church. They're discussing about private matters, you can find them there. I'll be here giving the last directives to my men before we depart. Come find me when you're done. And I really hope that she won't be with you. I mean it for her well-being. I wouldn't want to lose anymore souls."
23:29:38
"Jesus- babysitters? You talk about her like she's some incapable princess who ain't never seen a battlefield. I don't know if she has, but she ain't there to just look pretty." I groaned before swiping her hands from my shoulders. "I'll discuss it. But don't talk about 'er like that. Not unless yer fit to sayin' it ta her directly." I turned towards the door before stopping to say one last thing. "Ain't gonna lose anyone if they all play their part." I pushed through the door and set off to the church, pushing my way through the busy streets with my axe in hand.
23:34:28
Deleted
Gladys sighed scratching her head before returning to sit at the desk, giving a look to the map. The streets are busier than usual, soldiers and guards walking through them hurrying towards the adventurers guild. In front of the church, the same man you saw the first day you arrived into the city. "May you walk into the light of Selune, strong warrior."
He greeted you with a smile, before stepping aside to let you into the church. Inside, on one of the last benches there are Ontharr and Luna talking, she seems particularly upset, but when she sees you her face lights up as she gets up and runs towards you. Shakh!
She hurried to reach you and wrap you into a tight hug I thought you wouldn't have returned to me...
She murmured, hidden into the hug
23:38:47
I quickly wrapped my own arms around you, swiping a hand through your hair for a moment. "I know this all means a lot to ya. I'm not gonna disregard that, despite what I think to be better for the situation." I kneeled down to get on head level with you, planting a quick peck on your forehead. "You can't be in the fray with us if yer not ready for combat, though. You got away easy last time, these next few times might not be so lucky for ya."
23:44:14
"I don't wanna lose you to these... scum."
23:44:22
Deleted
But... I want to try and convince them again...
She murmured, her eyes down on the floor. This is all too sudden. We didn't get the chance to go and talk to them again... why are we attacking? Maybe we can still find another way around this.
She raised her eyes from the floor to give you a sad look. Ontharr reached the both of you and put one hand on Luna's shoulder. "Think about what I've told you, okay?"
He gives her a warm look, before going towards the exit of the church after waving goodbye to you and her. Luna grabbed you hand and brought it to her chest. I still have something inside of me... some fragments... I can... use them... It's not guaranteed that it'll work but I want to try regardless.
23:48:22
"Woah, slow down." I looked into your eyes with a look of confusion. "Fragments? Use them? You're gonna hafta fill me in on what you mean." I pulled you in a bit closer, touching my nose to yours. "I'll try to work somethin' out."
23:50:42
Deleted
"The priest I talked to last night... he... informed Ontharr about my past. He said that there's still hope for my soul. That we can fix this. That Selune has never abandoned me. That if I keep following her... there's hope... that one day what remains of her will awaken inside of me. And I think that showing those orcs Her mercy is a test for me. Look...
She pulled out a little golden chain with a pendant shaped to a full moon attached to it. This is a relic. Ontharr convinced the priest to give it to me to amplify my connection with her. She might listen to me this time... hear my cry for help and... I... I don't know... but... I firmly believe that I might help.
23:54:18
I remained silent in a wave of deep thought before looking back up at you. "Okay. But if too much trouble comes your way, you either fight or you run. Whichever one keeps you from getting hurt, you do." I caressed your face with my hand, still quite concerned with the prospect of you heading into the fray. "You -have- to be careful."
23:56:20
Deleted
She nodded, giving you a faint smile and then a hug I promise you. I'm not leaving you alone. I promised I'd be your family, after all...
She cups your cheeks in her hands, caressing them with her thumbs gently. But the same goes for you. I don't want you to get hurt. I don't want to lose you. Or any of the men that will fight for the cause. We'll try to keep things peaceful... okay?
She stared deep into your eyes, her blank iris reflecting your stare. I love you Shakh... I'm doing all of this for you, I want it to be clear.
23:59:29
"No-one's gonna lose anyone, I promise." I pulled your lips into mine for a small kiss before breaking away. "We'll do it your way, but if it goes to shit I'm not gonna hesitate to fight. An' you shouldn't either, if you can handle it." I stared back, offering up a loving smile during. "I love you too, Luna. More than anything." I stood the both of us up straight before walking through the doors of the church with you in tow. "Now, let's not keep Gladys waitin'."
