"I don't know what the going rate for one of those is."

She gestures to the struggeling demon.

"But you wanted a thousand jink for it earlier so that is what I will give you. If you want to keep it I shant insist but you I've no idea what you'd do with it."

She looks back at Verdant.

"Of course I can just give me a moment to see to our little friend here."

She nudges the helpless demon with the toe of her boot.

"What? What.. oh.. yes, yes. Take it. I mean.. I need no money! Just take it!"

Vivana stumbles back, leaning on her construct.

The demon grits its teeth, its claws leaving long furrows as it claws at the ground.

The raven clings stubbornly to the staff's tip for a few steps, wavering, balancing awkwardly before it settles down on the offered arm, cawing softly. It fluffs izs feathers and relaxes then, curious about where it is taken to.

Kiuna hobbles toward the Gatehouse, all the while chattering with the bird, "You'll be going home now," she mumbles whistfully, "Wish it was me. But well, I guess two out of four going home is not bad."

Reaching the Gatehouse garden, she steers toward the gazebo, watching as the portal flares into life. Then she holds out her shaking arm with the heavy bird toward the portal. "That's your way home." She smiles a little and tilts her head, looking at the raven.

"I insist."

She tosses a grey soul prisim in Vivana's direction. Perhaps not as wholesome as what Verdant offered but worth the same amount. Then reaching down with all the strength of undeath she grabs the demon by the scruff of the neck and hoists it up into the air leaving it in no doubt as to her strength.

"Sit down shut up and behave yourself."

As she talks she catches the demon's eye and assails its will with hers

((Domination gaze.))

She turns to Verdant.

"I suggest I tell you what I know then you tell me what you know and then we decide what to do with Ms Thurus before she tries to kill you again."

Vivana catches the prism, unsure what do do with it she pockets it.. and then wanders off, followed by her construct.

The demon tenses in Emila's grip but when she tries to subdue it with her gaze she feels its mind too strong, to complex and too alien for this ability to work.
It chuckles, sneering at its captor.


*******************************************************

The bird listens, sometimes answers with some cawing or quorking, patiently letting Kiuna take it to the portal.

As the portal opens the bird looks at her expectantly... then eyes the portal and it hops to the ground. It hesitates a bit, grinds its beak against a nearby stone then hops closer... closer and after a last look back at the woman it hops through the portal.

Its shape is still visible to Kiuna and again she witnesses how the bird's body is distorted, how it slowly grows into something humanoid again- and this time it is a copper skinned, elflike creature with lush red hair and fiery, burning eyes. She smiles to Kiuna, bows, then turns to walk deeper into the woods...


On the way back Kiuna has the feeling she is watced by two small, malevolent eyes. Should she look into this direction she will only see a large rat scuttling away to hide somewhere in the nearby ruins and trash of the Hive.

Emila does not allow herself to become frustrated. She smiles back at the demon and matches its sneer with a laugh. Casually she flings it away from her as far as she can and as is it in mid air she casts planar binding at it.

The fiend hits the ground hard and it was just about to try and 'port away when Emila's spell hits it.

It gives a frustrated groan, every muscle in its body is tensing as it tries to fight the invisible bonds that now force it into the vampire's service.

Anacail growls and pounces on the rat, but is too late to catch it. Resting her hand on the large feline head, Kiuna smiles down at the panther. "Maybe next time, my friend."

Exhausted from the long walks through the circle city, she heads back toward the Lady's Ward and the portal for Karasuthra, intending to get some rest, but as she arrives at the portal, Anacail pulls her hand to direct her attention to the black feather on the ground.

With some difficulties she kneels down to pick it up, frowning at the blood. She looks around to see if she can find any traces of where the owner of the feather has gone, searching for more dark splotches on the ground (( survival check = 35. Should probably make it a little less as she's pretty tired by now. Have a screen shot of the roll )).

There are only a few drops of blood but she cannot find any meaningful tracks.

Yet if she spends some time studying what tracks she sees she realizes that this feather must have been put there on purpose and it was not lost by a wounded bird.

Kiuna holds up the feather in confusion, frowning. "Why would someone leave this here," she asks, mostly musing to herself. She looks down at her friend, as she lets the feather slip into her belt pouch. "We'd better keep our eyes open when we get back to Karasuthra," she mumbles and enters the opening portal, Anacail close behind.
