Under Dark Desire

[Ravenloft]

Jhanyrna's sudden action startled even Treyis, but he recovered and watched her closely, with growing admiration as she delt with the young man. She definately knew how to instill a sense of pride in a man's heart.

Treyis turned to eye Drake just as he make his feeble appology.

He nodded slowly, with quiet pride.

"Sit yourself down for awhile, while the Lady and I discuss matters..."

Treyis took all that he could find on Turner and laid it out on the bed to share it with Jhanyrna.

A note scribbled in a language he could not read.

A hand full of odd metal tokens.

And a knife fasioned with an intricate model of some animal's skull as the pommel.

"Make anything of these?" He asked her calmly, scratching the back of his head. He suspected that the knife was a dagger of venom, but couldn't be sure.

 

[ErykaLorelei]

Standing there as Treyis walks over to her and hands her the items

Looking them over with great intensity for about 15 minutes not saying a word but glancing over at the man who had these and then faces Treyis kissing him softly on the lips looking over at the man as she does then slowly pulls away and whispers to Treyis

"The dagger is a ritualistic athame designed to kill the royal family of the Drow empire I am impressed that he had this and I would be honored if you would find out how and why he has it"

 

[Ravenloft]

"Designed? I take it that it delivers a poison potent to your kind? Or is it magical?" Treyis sought to understand fully what she meant. "However it is... It is something we shall explore, of course, my love. It almost seems as though your arival was expected. There are dangerous connotations to that, I fear... However, what no one could have counted on is me..." He took pride in knowing he was by and large an ace up Jhanyrna's sleeve.

 

[ErykaLorelei]

Smiles softly at Treyis

"My people usually send a dwarven messenger before one of us travels to the surface"

Walking over to the man now sitting on the hope chest by the end of the bed grabbing him by the neck and lifting him to the air

"Where did you get this and who hired you"

Squeezing his neck tightly as he makes a gurgling and choking noise

"I mmmph le m go"

 

[Ravenloft]

"Killing him won't bring us any answers, Jahnyrna, my love." Treyis pointed out, coming up to kiss her shoulder and slip his arms about her waist. "So, it is a dwarf we must look for? Or what is left of the poor bugger?" Treyis asked. "Perhaps the messanger has decided to set himself up as a local power?"

 

[ErykaLorelei]

Letting the man go and composing herself as she walks over to her clothing and slips into it finally covering herself

"I agree my love let us find this dwarf who betrayed my people and ask him the questions inside me"

Looking at their new associate she walks over and touches his face softly

"You may go but know this you are working for us now I will pay you one hundred gold pieces per week for your services and you will do what ever we need of you or my friend here will lose his composure and find you which as you are by now aware that would be very bad for you"

Walking over to Treyis and giving him a long soft and deeply passionate kiss on his lips her tongue sensually caressing his inside his mouth

"Mmmmm my love shall we? It would seem we have much work ahead of us"

Equipping her adventuring clothing as well as her twin swords and her bow and arrows and kissing their new associate on his cheek tenderly

"And so you know good sir this is me asking nicely for your help, do well and many rewards will be yours now go find out what you can"

 

[ErykaLorelei]

Bump for Ravenloft

 

[Ravenloft]

Treyis raised an eyebrow at the mention that they would pay this fool, and a hundred gold a week at that?! It took a significant effort to not openly scoff at the notion, but he showed her the respect and trust he had in her by not calling her on that in the moment. He would have to ask her if she truly thought the fool was worth such a tidy sum, or if she was making an empty promise. After all, it was them who would be putting their lives at risk to make that kind of gold, not him. He was obviously easily used, if they had so easily turned him to their 'employ' and not one Treyis would EVER truly trust with any mission of import or risk.

Her kiss was deeply passionate and did distract him from his thoughts, which, in a way, troubled him. Did she know how easily she could sway a man? Would she have any compunctions over using such a thing to sway them? He was troubled, but he bit his tongue and enjoyed her kiss, for the moment.

Treyis head swam with desire as she broke the kiss and he nodded, not really thinking about what 'work' actually meant at the moment. He watched her dress, then place a kiss on the fool's cheek. He and Treyis locked eyes for a moment before he quickly looked down and away from Treyis, showing his inferiority. Treyis sniffed in a mixture of satisfaction and disgust even as he went and held the door open for Jahnyrna.

 

[ErykaLorelei]

Walking past Treyis slowly and stopping before leaving the room turning to him

"Something vexes you my love?"

She reaches out touching his hand softly and pulling it up kissing it tenderly as she thinks she may have missed something as she is not yet accustomed to the surface dweller or his feelings for her and she begins to wonder if her love for him is temporary or is it real or possibly does she feel this way only for diplomatic reasons time will tell on all three counts

"We must make our way to Durnhold two days north of here in the Braxxholme Mountains but there will be danger on the way there are several orc encampments on the way"

 

[Ravenloft]

"Yes..." Treyis guided her out into the hall and waited till they were out of earshot of the fool. "Do you think it wise to promise that fool so much for so little?" What he really wanted to know, he wouldn't ask, because it was too painful to ask her, for fear that she would not understand.

"Durnhold, is that where your family's dwarven liason resides?" He shrugged off the bad feelings he was having about how things stood between him and Jahn for the moment, for the sake of his heart. Maybe when next they were alone together he would find the resolve to bring it up to her. "Orcs... Stupid and slow, but strong... Just how I like em."

 

[ErykaLorelei]

Nodding in response to his questions of the Dwarven liason's residence and hugging Treyis softly her breasts pressing against him as she softly whispers in his ear

"If we promise him money he will be more loyal and if he betrays us we get to torture and kill him so either way we win"

Smiling at his comments about orcs and walking down the stairs to the main floor of the taven her hips sway back and forth as she walks

"Still orcs do have their uses"

She walks to the tavern keeper and whispers something to him before handing him a small pouch of gemstones then walks over to Treyis and walks behind him tying her hands together and handing him the rope though she were a a mongrel dog or a pox ridden whore

"To Durnhold my love"

 

[ErykaLorelei]

Bump for Ravenloft

 

[Ravenloft]

"So, you would promise him coin with the expectation that he falls short of your expectations? Jahn, you would torture and murder that easily?" Treyis asked, feeling his stomach tightening. "What if it was I who came up short to your expectations? Would you torture and kill me?" He couldn't hold back his disgust with the things she was intimating. He didn't care for the fool one way or the other, but to out right state that he was nothing but a tool was far from his reasoning.

Still, he tried to sell the act of dragging her out of the Inn as though she were a slave. But who was the weaker of the two of them? She seemed so emotionally hardened to him in that moment.

 

[ErykaLorelei]

Lightly touching Treyis on his obviously worried face and kissing him softly

"Not at all my love and I would not torture or kill any one unless they gave me a reason to, and as for my statement"

Leaning in and whispering into his ear her warm breath rolling across his neck

"There is someone behind the curtain to your right listening so I wanted them to think that to prove the man's worth"

Yanking back the curtain as a man with a dagger stands there now frightened but trying to play it off cool

"Um hey there how is it going?"

Jhanryna steps back and sits on the bench beside her motioning to Treyis

"You may deal with this as you see fit my love"

Reassuring Treyis that he and her are on equal footing as she crosses her long sexy and very toned grey skinned legs placing her hands on her knees awaiting Treyis's actions
