Faerun!Alisaie vs Sword-Dancing With Gith
Lae'zel: All right. We near the creche. We will go straight there; no dallying!
Alisaie: I'd promise you that, but I know what our lives are like. I'll get us there, but holy fuck, chill.
Lae'zel: Ugh. Very well. But I am not pleased with this.
Lady Esther: Hello? Oh. You travel with one of those savages that set up one of those ... creche ... things at the monastery. They got very upset when I tried to buy one of their eggs and--
Alisaie; Lae'zel: Excuse you?!?
Lady Esther: We just wanted to do a nature-vs-nurture experiment! We're sure that one of those creatures could actually be sociable if they were raised properly!
Alisaie; Lae'zel: ...............
Shadowheart: Should we tell this woman what that look means, from those two?
Gale: Hell no. She's earned this.
Lady Esther: So you're travelling with one of them and I'm sure you wouldn't mind stealing one of their eggs for--
Alisaie: Y'know ... I was going to just stab the everliving shit out of you for suggesting that a) kidnapping is okay and b) I might be willing to do it for your Society of Brilliance experiment bullshit. But then I thought to myself ... why should I get the pleasure of that when it's Lae'zel's people you're wronging? Lae'zel? All yours.
Lae'zel: Ha! Finally! *stabs the everliving shit out of Lady Esther*
Gale: Well, at least they're bonding.
Alisaie: Hey, Gale! I think this armour would do good things for you!
Gale: It's ... got a cropped top.
Alisaie: You've got the figure for it, and it's enchanted to help with your unwillingness to jump any gap ever.
Gale: You know ... in most of these stories, it's the women who are in the skimpy clothing and men are in the armour. Which ... is ... something I should not have said when I'm travelling with a party full of women but...
Alisaie: Look, we'd put you in armour too but your spells stop being castable when you're in it so let's not. And someone needs to be able to take a hit if you can't.
Gale: ...Fine, but you can't tell me you're not enjoying this.
Alisaie: Hey, I may not be planning to travel the landscape but that doesn't mean I can't admire the view from time to time. But honestly, maybe your ex'll enjoy the view enough to not let you kerblooey all over the literal landscape!
Gale: ...I'm not sure what kind of compliment that is, but I suppose I'll take it?
After some noodling around through the environs around the monastery, and using an old ferry, which was really fun
Alisaie: Hey, Lae'zel?
Lae'zel: Speak.
Alisaie: Now, it's obvious that your people don't like this Absolute or any of its cult.
Lae'zel: Obviously not!
Alisaie: But ... this artefact doesn't want to go with them either.
Lae'zel: We can cross that bridge when we come to it.
Alisaie: Maybe I should ask some questions of that gnome they killed--
Lae'zel: Or we could simply move on. Why we feel the need to search this building--
Gremishka: *screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
Alisaie: How about killing things? Does 'killing things' work?
Lae'zel: ...Frustratingly, yes.
A bunch of dead magic-allergic rats later...
Lae'zel: And still we wander!
Alisaie: Look, it's not like your creche people left a sign! I'm trying to find a way in, but--
Kobolds: *are very very drunk*
Kobolds: *are going to try to kill the party anyway*
Gale: Drunk and flammable! It's a party!
Alisaie: Gale wait don't--
Gale: IGNIS!
Kobold: *explodes in a ball of fire that hurts the entire party*
Gale: ...I thought I was being facetious about the flammable...
Alisaie: Oh, fuck a bunch of this.
Gale: Wha--?
Alisaie: *Mobile Flourishes one kobold at range, which dies*
Gale: All right, but--
Alisaie: *Mobile Flourishes second kobold at range; this one lives*
Gale: Huh; you--
Alisaie: *teleports to prone kobold, stabs him to death, then Slashing Flourishes two more, taking them out*
Gale, Shadowheart, Lae'zel: ..............................
Shadowheart: What magical item gave her that much combat mobility, and where can I get one?
Lae'zel: ......I want her...
Shadowheart: Too bad; so sad. Now burn off some of that energy by killing something.
Stabnation: *ensues once again*
