((What was the book I got or do I need to examine the book?))

((SC wil be running this for a while, during which time I will be working on lore and keeping up with some school stuffs.  His turns count just as much as mine so no slacking.  ))

"If I 'ad to bet, I would bet on one of ze buildings built into ze wall, but she could be anywhere, nothing to do but get started." Fleur says quietly, trying not to blow their cover to any nearby mutants or creatures.

((Official ruling I've ben toying around with in my head for a while now, seeing as how Akari is the offspring of Wild Magic and a mortal, she actually won't need a protection potion, she, in essence is naturally corrupted and in some ways has protection from the effects of Wild Magic))

I could not possibly care less.  No holding for you.

Fleur shrugs, "We were not able to get our network inside to find 'er, so we must infiltrate and find 'er.  We suspect she is vulnerable as she has few crew members with 'er now.  Of course zere are other problems, but I am confident we can overcome them.  I was told zis was my duty, so I go."

Zealots and Demons, Turn 58:  Stuff

Search for the Zealots' headquarters and get some potions to protect against wild magic. Four or five, just in case.

[3]  You walk around a bit longer until you find the barracks again.  You go inside, and speak with the quartermaster.  He looks at you queerly throughout the entire process but relinquishes the potions.  You think to yourself that you better have a good cover story if you come back and talk to him again.

Conjure something to ease a drunken person, when nobody is looking!

Also, hide that whistle!

[auto-fail]  You really don't know anything within your ability to conjure something to 'ease as drunken person'.  An alchemist could do it easy enough, but you aren't really up to that level yet.

Chill with Fleur for a bit.

[6]  You make it back to Fleur's parlor and sit next to her, she scoots over politely but seems a little... off.  You strike it up to nerves, and that she and Aegnor were mid conversation when you returned.

"I'm thankful that you decided to trust me. Plus with adventuring around the world, you start to gain an interesting view-point, from many different places and areas." Aegnor nods at the end of his reply, and decides to leave the issue of fleur holding back alone. Everyone needs ways to cope.

"What is it like, being a 'ealer zat travels around?  I mean, what exactly 'as your life been like?" she asks with a seemingly genuine sense of curiosity.  It strikes you that Fleur probably hasn't left the city since she took up her life debt.

Ask the elf's name and then flee run out to catch up with Mordekhai and Akari...

[1] You're just about to go ask the elf's name when Mordekhai grabs you and drags you along with him... damn.

Wait to hear Aegnor's answer

[auto-success]  Fleur shifts on the couch once Kael rejoins the group, from spread out to a more normal posture.  Inside her mind is racing with thoughts unbidden; she lets none of them show though.  She begins trying to quiet her mind and focus on the coming task instead, while waiting to hear Aegnor's reply before leaving to hunt Maria.

((Bit of a boring turn, sorry.))

Zealots and Demons, Turn 57:  Mordekhai Hates Dancers

Go to the Zealots' headquarters and ask for potions to protect against wild magic. At least five of them.

[2]  You sort of wander around for a bit, eventually realizing you have no idea how to get back to where you came from.  You just sort of happened to find Fleur now that you think about it.  Perhaps you should have grabbed a map or something.  [6]  You stop into, what you assume to be a bar for directions and quickly dart back out face red underneath the helmet.  It was one of those kinds of bars... you know, with live entertainment. 

Stick with Mordekhai. Keep alert.

[6]  You follow Mordehkai into the bar and immediately spot an attractive piece of elf in the corner.  He winks at you.  You look around the room realizing Mordekhai for some reason has disappeared... he must not like dancing girls.  You shrug and flirt with the elf a little.

Conjure a...whistle-thing when the others aren't looking. For...noise or signalling, perhaps?

[6]  You conjure a whistle, but it's too-high pitch for you to hear... stupid whistle.  Wait, why are these dogs surrounding you, and why do they all look hungry.  You hide behind Mordekhai and have him scare the dogs away for you.  It's pretty easy since his face is all red.  He must be really angry about something.

Maybe the zealots can help with the potions?

[4]  You head back to the Barracks and on the way you see Mordekhai turn into a bar and then rush back out really quick as the fox woman tries to create a whistle but ends up creating a dog-whistle instead.  You sort of stare at them weirdly as you pass, sort of glad you headed over to the barracks separately.  You head downstairs to the basement and talk to the quartermaster.  You explain you have business in a part of town where wild magic might be an issue and he nods, writing down the information on several forms before giving you two regulation protection potions.  You bow and thank him.  "Better than those potions that crazy healer made.

If fleur wants to continue, drink a potion of wild magic protection.

[2]  You sort of just stand around since Fleur says she rather wait for the Crusader to get back.  "It will not take us long to move to ze proper district anyhow, we might as well wait."  She says sitting down on her own couch, arms spread wide, as though she had them wrapped around another person.

Wait for the Crusader

[auto-success]  Fleur relaxes in her parlor.  So, tell me, why did you decide to 'elp me?" she asks, trying to see the elf's reasoning.

((Oh Mordekhai, you have no idea how much I wanted to make it a brothel and completely break your mind, but I just don't think it would work in current setting.))
