Samiyah looks at the vampire as he sleeps.
Samiyah walks over to just out of arm's reach and crouches down, examining him closely.
You see nothing special about him.
Venom could sell you the Bog and you would thank him.
Venom is in perfect health.
Venom ftells, 'INFO: [Somewhere, Samiyah walks over to just out of arm's reach and crouches down, examining him closely.]'.
Venom ftells, 'That had better not be me...'.
DarkClaw says, 'I'm not sure why he insists on sleeping upon the floor now instead of in his coffin.'.
DarkClaw frowns.
DarkClaw says, 'Kind of strange.'.
Samiyah shudders a little. 'Why is something so beautiful on the outside, so corrupt and horrible on the inside?'
DarkClaw ftells, 'If you would sleep in your coffin instead of upon the floor perhaps it wouldn't be.'.
Venom ftells, 'I will sleep where I please!'.
Venom wakes and stands up.
Samiyah breathes in slowly, shuddering as the power of the two Kindred washes over her.
Venom's nostrils flare at the scent of sand...
> vis
Ok.
Venom leaves west.
Samiyah rises from her crouch and goes back over to the tree. She catches hold of a strong branch and clambers up, resting within the tree as if in Sanguinna.
DarkClaw says, 'He cannot see you...only smell your scent.'.
Samiyah nods.
Samiyah says (in common), 'He can see me now, and he can see me when he chooses. His detection is quite strong. Though why, I don't know.'.
DarkClaw says, 'I do know that Grayzil is apparently able to see both you and Eathor as well. He mentioned it the other eve.'.
You hear a distinct pop as Venom's portal closes up.
Samiyah says (in common), 'Grayzil is 50th.. so yes, that doesn't surprise me.'.
Venom makes a complicated-looking gesture.

Venom sleeps.

Samiyah glances at the coffin, the mischievous look in her eye showing she is clearly considering sitting on the lid.
You giggle in her presence.
DarkClaw laughs at you mercilessly. Hmmmmph.
DarkClaw says, 'I know what you're thinking.'.
Samiyah grins and blushes simultaneously, caught in her devilry.
DarkClaw says, 'Tempting indeed.'.
You nod in recognition to her.
You nod in recognition to her.
Samiyah says (in common), '... But Nicholai wouldn't like it, if I did.'.

DarkClaw nods in recognition to you.
Venom wakes and stands up.
Samiyah maintains her perch in the tree, swinging her legs idly.
Venom takes the form of a small bat.
Venom utters the words, 'yrl'.
Venom now can fly.
Venom leaves west.
You blink.
Samiyah's mouth falls open in a small "O" of surprise.
DarkClaw blinks at Venom's transformation. "I hope I don't confuse him for one of mine."
Samiyah teeters on her branch, her composure - and balance - disrupted by the transformation. "... he... uh..."
Samiyah grabs for a more secure hand-hold. 'Can Nicholai do that?!?!'
DarkClaw says, 'Aye, if he chooses.'.
DarkClaw says, 'I have a much larger beastly form.'.
You blink.
You blink.
> l darkclaw
To stand in Her presence is to be rendered speechless: This is no mere mortal,
but the quintessential seductress, potent in her ripe perfection, incarnate in
her beauty. Lilith herself pales in comparison: the gleaming scarlet luster of
Her eyes, the tawdry tumble of Her long sable hair -- as if just risen from an
evening's pleasures...dangerous sensuality is a tangible aura around her, like
the corona of the full moon. Voluptuous curves to make any heart pound, grace
of a stalking leopard, this is not a woman who can be underestimated. Her prey
is delight and sacrifice and sustenance, Scions enraptured in their service to
Her. The particulars of Her ensemble are nearly irrelevant save for the loving
way that an inky velvet gown enfolds Her, falling in regal folds to the ground,
and leather caresses her, drawing in an already narrow waist. The rarest gems
and metals have been crafted into elegant jewelry that cannot compete with Her
beauty, and the delicate flutter of the wings of bats flitting about Her makes
a living, chittering frame to draw every eye. Ancient but untouched by Time, a
power to stir the dreams of the living, She is the gatekeeper of Death itself:
unliving yet utterly alive, undead yet filled with every passion of existence.
DarkClaw is bathed in the essence of charisma.
DarkClaw is in perfect health.
Samiyah looks but does not ask.
DarkClaw's gaze shifts to the mural upon the wall.
Samiyah follows the direction of DarkClaw's gaze.
> l mural
This haunting piece portrays DarkClaw standing within a shadowed room, gazing
into a floor-length mirror before her. Instead of seeing her own reflection,
a black tiger stares back at her with hungry eyes, fangs bared and stained
with blood. Is it symbolic? The quality of this work is of the finest, the
texture of the fabric smooth as silk to the touch. Oddly enough, it looks as
if it is three dimensional. Magic, perhaps?
Samiyah says (in common), '... Oh.'.
Samiyah ponders this a moment, then asks, 'Can vampires take more than one animal form?'
Samiyah says (in common), 'Somehow, a bat doesn't seem appropriate for Nicholai.'.
DarkClaw says, 'That depends upon the vampire and how powerful they are.'.
Samiyah says (in common), 'I see him far more as a cat, like that...'.
Samiyah nods, indicating the mural.
DarkClaw says, 'Some choose to only partially shift as well.'.
DarkClaw says, 'I...have never seen Nicholai shift. Only to mist.'.
Samiyah says softly, 'If the animal self reflects the inner self, then Venom should be a cobra.'
DarkClaw nods in recognition to you.
DarkClaw says, 'Gangrel shift more often than the other clans, as they are more in touch with their animalistic nature.'.
DarkClaw says, 'The one who made me was Gangrel.'.
Samiyah pauses and thinks a moment.
Samiyah nods.
Samiyah says (in common), 'so all of your bloodline are Gangrel?'.
DarkClaw says, 'Correct.'.
Samiyah pauses and thinks a moment.
Samiyah says (in common), 'what of Nicholai?'.
DarkClaw says, 'Nicholai was made by Khore.'.
You hear a distinct pop as Venom's portal closes up.
Venom makes a complicated-looking gesture.
Venom draws a funny looking rune on you.
DarkClaw says, 'And Venom would be the same as Nicholai.'.
Venom climbs slowly, beaten and bruised, into his coffin...
Venom sleeps.
DarkClaw glances Venom's way, a flicker of concern passing over her features before she masks it.
Samiyah pauses and thinks a moment.
Samiyah hops down from the tree, her movements less graceful than usual, as if reluctant.
Samiyah walks over to Venom's coffin.
Samiyah lays her hands on its surface.

Samiyah says (in common), 'it's why I healed you when you slept'.
Venom sneers in semi-amusement at your obvious cognitive dissonance.
Samiyah says (in common), 'The stronger you are, the more..'.

Samiyah settles back on the tree branch.
Venom says (in common), 'If you insist on hosting unsavory guests, please inform them they are to look and not touch!'.
Venom crawls into his coffin.

Samiyah glances at the handful of desert sand she holds. Then back at the coffin.
Samiyah glances over at Nicholai's coffin, and sighs. She parts her fingers, allowing the sand to trickle out of her hand and to the earthen floor instead.
DarkClaw blinks as Venom wakes and leaves, then looks up to Sami, noting the stream of drifting sand falling from her hand.
DarkClaw says, 'Sometimes...it's a struggle to not do things you wish.'.
Samiyah nods.
Samiyah says (in common), 'it is hard to not meet his unpleasantness with the same, especially when such simple little things would irk him so... but Nicholai would be disappointed.'.
DarkClaw frowns at herself. Poor baby.
DarkClaw says, 'I often find myself resorting to lowering myself to childish standards in his presence.'.
DarkClaw sighs loudly.

You ftell, 'Any vows between us ended when you - in whatever incarnation - released me from my oath... and any embers of it died when the Lady took my life, ending my quest.'.
Venom ftells, 'Yes well let's try not to be too narrow minded shall we? I personally have done nothing to bring you any harm. In fact I have taught you a great deal and as I recall I risked my neck to rescue you'.
You ftell, 'while that might be true, it does not follow that I owe you fealty, now that our oaths are ended. No more than I owe to any member of the Lost.'.
Venom ftells, 'I'm not asking for fealty, just some gods damned courtesy would be a start. Something befitting your station at least.'.
DarkClaw ftells, 'The only one you owe fealty to is myself.'.
Venom wakes and stands up.
DarkClaw ftells, '*raises a brow at Venom* You?...Asking for courtesy?!!'.
Venom ftells, 'From someone with her background, it is due.'.
(back to fighting...)
You ftell, 'asserting my autonomy is not rudeness.'.
Venom ftells, 'Constantly behaving like a reluctant brat, is.'.
You ftell, 'you mean not fawning at your feet?'.
Venom ftells, 'No, I mean speaking through gritted teeth at every turn'.
You ftell, 'forgive me, I'm not as skilled at speaking with a forked tongue'.
Venom ftells, 'Yes well there are several things you could learn with your tongue that would serve you.'.
You ftell, 'you are not the one to teach me.'.

You say (in common), '6/7'.
Venom says (in common), 'ugh'.
Venom says (in common), 'Why are all of these 6/7 enchants being put on weapons that aren't ND'.
DarkClaw ftells, 'Aphelion...I release you from my order.'.
You say (in common), 'because not everyone has access to No Drop weapons'.
You ftell, '*bow*'.

You ftell, 'The sacrifice was inadvertent not deliberate'.

You ftell, 'I will wield it with pride.'.
(and back to fighting...)
Venom ftells, 'Right, proud to be involved with the Eldest, but the one who taught you to survive... nooooo.'.
You ftell, '*mildly* I appear to have surpassed your lessons in growth...'.
Venom ftells, 'Is that so?'.
You ftell, 'who is helping whom, at the moment?'.
(And Venom attacks Aphelion and chases her around the Dragon Worshipers for a bit.)
Venom (unseen) ftells, 'It appears your lessons are not sufficient.'.
You ftell, 'Lady... Because of my oath, I have endured multiple attacks from him without taking more action than survival required. But should your dog raise his hand to me again, I will not withhold.'.
Venom (unseen) ftells, 'Aphelion's spiritual hammer MUTILATES you.'.
You ftell, '.. Indeed. I struck you.'.
Venom (unseen) ftells, 'That is not what survival required'.
You ftell, 'I don't know, it seemed appropriate at the time.'.
Venom (unseen) ftells, 'That is you trying to fight back, then running for your life.'.
You ftell, 'I fled. Stopped to see if you'd changed your mind on this idiocy. Fled. Stopped. After your fifth or so time engaging, I left.'.
Venom (unseen) ftells, 'Darkclaw has your weapon'.
DarkClaw gives you a spider-shaped mourning star.
Venom (unseen) ftells, 'Perhaps you should stop abandoning it as you are getting your ass dispelled and blinded all over the zone. I have no more need of your assistance.'.
You ftell, '.. yes, and for all your dispelling and blinding, you did virtually no damage to me.'.

You laugh.
Belsambar says (in common), 'missed you too :-P'.
Sanitarium chuckles, evidently amused.
Sanitarium says (in minotaur), 'clerics don't need many'.
Isolas says, 'Tell you what'.
Isolas says, 'For half price, I'll attack Venom'.
Belsambar throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
Icy tendrils of unease cascade down your spine - a primitive and wholly
instinctive, unthinking reaction to the being which has manifested before
you. The air stirs around him as if uneasy at his mere presence. Upon the
breeze is carried the still air of places of power best left undisturbed,
where sorcerous rites taint the very bones of the earth. His demeanor is
detatched and inhuman, as uncaring for the struggles of the mortal realm
as a storm for the landscape it ravages. Cold light glows in his ancient,
knowing eyes, within them whispers of countless secrets and unholy
knowledge. He looks deeply into your heart and soul with a single glance,
judge and jury all in one. You are measured, balanced, and found wanting.
When he speaks, his voice is as quiet and colorless as a graveyard at
midnight, but is still touched with a slight elven accent despite the
centuries. 'If you have found the grace of Lord Nash, your soul will be
at peace. If not, everlasting torments will be yours.'
Isolas is bathed in the essence of charisma.
Isolas is in perfect health.
You say (in common), 'what do you charge?'.
Sanitarium says (in minotaur), 'too much'.
Sanitarium laughs.
Belsambar has left the game.
Isolas says, 'My rates are reasonable'.
Aphelion arches a brow, her expression curious.
Sanitarium puts his hand towards his money pouch slowly.
Aphelion slides off her helm and runs a hand through her hair. 'I am listening.'
Isolas says, 'Oh, how that would've worked on me in mortality.'.
Isolas says, 'Well, you see...'.
Isolas says, 'There's been a nasty rumor going around the I intend to reform the Nashite Magi'.
You say (in common), '.. and are you?'.
Isolas says, 'Questions like that only add fuel to the rumors.'.
Isolas says, 'But if I intend to do that'.
Isolas says, 'I'll need souls.'.
You say (in common), 'Or they quench them, once and for all.'.
Isolas says, 'So yours in exchange for the attack on Venom will be fee enough.'.
You chuckle.
Aphelion slides her helm back on in one practiced motion.'
Sanitarium pulls a huge 2 ton boulder over with ease to rest on.
You say (in common), 'That's ... No. My soul, what there is left of it, is mine. Sacrosanct.'.
Aphelion makes a brief, almost military-like bow, her eyes maintaining contact with yours.
Isolas shrugs.
Fare thee well!
