Cards Reshuffled 117 – Priestesses
Of all adventuring professions available, the one I think I understand the least is that of the cleric. Being that dependent on a deity for your skills is not something I envy, powerful as they can be. Of course, clerics deal with this in different ways. Some will follow their chosen deity faithfully, never deviating from his or her scriptures. Others…will not.
Excerpt from ‘Ruminations Of A Master Bard’
“I don’t know about the rest of you,” Zaerini said, “but I think it would be a very good idea for us to get out of this place for now.” She nervously looked about the large Government Square, all neat hedges and sparkling fountains, with elegant mansions partially hidden in the cool shade beneath the tall trees. “I know those Beshabans are all dead, and the Cowled Wizards who were on the scene, but you never know…there were other witnesses, and somebody might decide to sell us out.” She gave Viconia a quick smile. “Though I’m happy that things turned out as they did…I’d have helped myself if I’d been there.” As she turned to Edwina, her smile became even warmer. “But it seems that wasn’t necessary…I should have known you’d be able to handle yourself…Dread Wizard.”
Edwina preened proudly, puffing herself up so much it seemed she was about to burst. “Naturally, Hellkitten!” she said, toying with her dark hair in what Rini had to admit was a very alluring manner. “I can handle anything the world throws at me, and with ease.”
“Most certainly, Odesseiron,” Viconia murmured, a sly glint in her eyes. Her teeth glinted like pearls against her dark skin as she smirked. “You have, after all, advanced into being female, a vast improvement if you ask me. Doesn’t it feel superb to no longer be a member of the weaker sex?”
“What…” Edwina said, looking equal shares angry and perplexed. “How did you…”
“Oh, you are fairly easily recognizable…I know how to look for patterns of movement, intonation and such, and not only superficial traits.” Again, a small smirk. “Besides, you gave your name before…Edwina. Though I must say you have the makings of a fine female. You must tell me all about this magnificent accomplishment later.”
“I think we had better discuss this elsewhere,” Jaheira interjected. “As our Fearless Leader said, we could attract unwanted attention here. Let us go, and then we can make further plans.”
“Right,” Rini agreed. “Let’s go back to the Coronet, and then decide where we go from there.” As they headed off through the streets, she found herself walking next to Viconia and watched the Drow carefully. The priestess looked much as she remembered her, beautiful and alluring, in a commanding way, her long white hair providing a dramatic contrast to her dark skin as the silky strands peeked out under her hood. “So…” she said after a few minutes. “What brings you to Athkatla? I thought you meant to settle down in the Beregost area? And how did you wind up on top of that pyre, if you don’t mind me asking?”
“I had my reasons for leaving, abbil,”, Viconia said, and for a moment some dark emotion glinted in her eyes. Anger…but more than that. “The climate in Beregost turned out to be less than suitable for skin of my color.”
“Oh…I’m really sorry to hear that.”
“And as for this sty of a city…phaugh! I had done nothing to deserve such treatment, I sought only to be left alone and had harmed nobody here. But a man happened to catch sight of my face beneath my hood, and that was that.”
“The Drow are known for their evil ways,” Anomen stated. Then he flushed lightly. “Though I had not known they could be so striking.”
Viconia gave him a considering look for a moment, then turned to Zaerini. “The male isn’t entirely displeasing to my eyes, if blunt in manners…I commend you on your taste, abbil.”
“My taste?”
“Why, yes! Every female should start her collection early, so that she will have ample time to gather a suitable number of strong males. But remember to evaluate his prowess carefully before granting him any privileges, or you may be disappointed.”
Zaerini was afraid to look at Anomen’s face. “Ah…Anomen is not…”
“That’s right!” Edwina spat, as she hastily inserted herself between the half-elf and the Drow, grasping Rini’s arm tightly. “He isn’t! (And if he tries to get any ‘privileges’ I will make certain to acquaint him with my prowess at spellcasting…close and personal.)”
“What is it to you, lady mage?” Anomen haughtily stated, taking Rini’s other arm and squashing it against him. “Your agitation grows steadily…methinks you need the calming presence of a husband to soothe your ire. Granted, we will likely have to pay him an enormous dowry first.”
As she found herself more or less dragged through the streets of Athkatla by the wizard and the cleric, both of them bickering vehemently, Rini turned her head to see Viconia wink at her. “Never mind, abbil,” the Sharran priestess laughed. “You can always run off with me, if you want somebody with sense…”

“The sun in Murann will tan an even bun!” Aerie said the words clearly, in the sweetest voice she could muster, and then gave lord Logum Eckel a look of radiant pride.
The nobleman jumped off the chaise lounge where he’d been sitting, grasped her by the shoulders and shook her. “Say it, woman! Say it again! Properly!”
I would greatly enjoy smearing your foul entrails all over the walls, using them to paint pretty pictures for my Mistress. “The sun in Murann will tan an even bun…my lord…” Aerie said again, smiling bashfully.
“Yes!” Lord Logum exclaimed. “YES! She’s got it! By Waukeen, I think she’s got it!” He clasped the Avariel’s hands in his, spinning her about. “I am a genius! I have taken this waif, this unformed lump of clay, and transformed her into a grand lady!”
One Flesh to Stone spell…that’s all it would take to turn you into a ‘lump of clay’ you pompous idiot. “Oh, my lord…” Aerie said, fluttering her eyelashes with practiced ease as she looked up at the nobleman’s flushed and excited face, counting the pores on his nose in order to give herself the perfect look of concentrated fascination. “…I could never have done it without you. You…you have shown me that life on the ground needn’t be so terrible after all…” …as long as there is suffering to spread, misery to cause, and hapless fools to torment… “…that I can find something else to fill my life…” …the service of my Mistress Loviatar, blessed be her name. “…and that I am stronger than most people would think.” Oh yes…that much is true. “And all because of you…my dear, dear friend.” She made a delicate blush spread across her cheeks. “And now…now I wish to ask you…if you would…”
“Oh yes!” Lord Logum said, sweating profusely. “Of course I will be happy to continue your education, dear girl. It will be my pleasure to make a woman out of you!”
“Oh!” Aerie exclaimed, intensifying the blush. “I…I didn’t mean…” Never give them what they expect, she thought, inwardly smirking at the confused look on the nobleman’s arrogant face. “Though maybe I might…some day…that is, I only meant to ask you if you would introduce me properly to Amnian High Society. I…feel I am ready for it…and I do want to make you proud of me.”
“Ah. Yes…yes of course. I need to prove my point after all, and demonstrate my keen and scientific mind’s accomplishment to those who doubted me. Very well. We will start out slowly…I’ll introduce you to the Jysstevs. They don’t live far from here, and the lady Jysstev is always fond of meeting new people. If all goes well, we will scale up from there.”
“Thank you, my lord,” Aerie said, delicately tucking a few strands of golden hair behind her ear. “You have no idea how grateful I am to you.”

In another place entirely, a red-haired woman with a feathered headdress walked across a floor that might have been marble, but was not. She was tall, taller than most men, but in this place she was dwarfed by the enormous thing that hung in the air before her, glowing with a poisonous green light that made her hair look almost black. The woman grasped her spear tightly after adjusting a couple of straps on her armor. “Ah, my Lord,” she said, an ironic smile playing on her lips. “How good it is to bask in your presence once more.”
SPARE ME YOUR PLEASANTRIES, WOMAN, an enormous voice boomed out of the green light. I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU ARE HERE, BUT IT CANNOT BE TO PAY YOUR RESPECTS. DO YOU THINK I AM UNAWARE OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE? OF WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING?
“Of course not, my Lord,” the woman smirked. “You could not help but notice, could you? Pity you didn’t guess it earlier…before your sad demise, that is. But then, I always seemed so loyal and devoted, didn’t I? So utterly trustworthy?”
NONSENSE. YOU SEEMED LIKE WHAT YOU ARE, A BACKSTABBING WITCH, AS TRUSTWORTHY AS A MIRAGE. A PERFECT PRIESTESS OF MINE, IN OTHER WORDS. YOU LOT ARE ALL LIKE THAT. OR WERE.
“Then why did you trust me, foolish god?”
I NEEDED SOMEBODY TO ARRANGE THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF MY PLAN. YOU WERE THE ONE BEST SUITED FOR THE TASK.
“Of course I was!” the woman screeched, her voice grating like a rusty nail scraping across a blackboard. “I was your high priestess – but I will soon be far more!” Her voice lowered to a sibilant hiss. “How do you enjoy your prison, my ‘Lord’? A pretty little place for a dead god’s spirit to spend eternity…or such time as remains until I can find all the Bhaalspawn. And then I will be the Lady of Murder – and you will be less than dust! Do you hear that? DOOM AWAITS THEE!”
There were a few moments of silence.
PERHAPS OBLIVION WOULDN’T BE SO BAD – AT LEAST I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO HEAR YOUR ANNOYING VOICE AGAIN. YOU’RE GIVING ME A TERRIBLE HEADACHE, AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE AN ACTUAL HEAD. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD BECOME GODDESS OF IRRITANCY INSTEAD.
“How dare you speak to me that way? Take that back or YOU SHALL SUFFER!”
HOW, EXACTLY? I’M ALREADY DEAD, REMEMBER? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, KILL ME? UNTIL ALL MY CHILDREN ARE YOURS, YOU CANNOT TAKE THE THRONE, YOU KNOW THAT. AND YOU MAY JUST BE SURPRISED BY THEIR RESOURCEFULNESS.
The woman in the feathered headdress frowned, snarling angrily. “What are you saying? You aren’t planning anything, are you?”
MY DEAR LITTLE PRIESTESS – WOULD YOU HONESTLY EXPECT ME TO TELL YOU IF I WERE? AMUSE YOURSELF WITH YOUR LITTLE GAMES AS YOU WILL. PLAY WITH YOUR FOLLOWERS, AND YOUR ARMIES. IN THE END, YOU WILL FALL.
The red-haired woman spat out a curse, and turned around to stalk out of the chamber. As she walked away, the mocking voice of the dead god followed her.
OH, AND ANOTHER THING, MY PRIESTESS…THAT OUTFIT LOOKS QUITE RIDICULOUS.
Next: Back to Dekkie...who is definitely doing dangerous stuff. But then, isn't he always?

Yes indeed.
Edwina preened proudly, puffing herself up so much it seemed she was about to burst. “Naturally, Hellkitten!” she said, toying with her dark hair in what Rini had to admit was a very alluring manner. “I can handle anything the world throws at me, and with ease.”
oh my..dwina "popping" out of that dress...
It would be a sight to behold...oh yes...
“Most certainly, Odesseiron,” Viconia murmured, a sly glint in her eyes. Her teeth glinted like pearls against her dark skin as she smirked. “You have, after all, advanced into being female, a vast improvement if you ask me. Doesn’t it feel superb to no longer be a member of the weaker sex?”
of course, in drow society, males are the weaker sex...
Who says it's different here, male?
“Why, yes! Every female should start her collection early, so that she will have ample time to gather a suitable number of strong males. But remember to evaluate his prowess carefully before granting him any privileges, or you may be disappointed.”
kick the tires, check under the hood...
Sort of like that, yeah!
As she found herself more or less dragged through the streets of Athkatla by the wizard and the cleric, both of them bickering vehemently, Rini turned her head to see Viconia wink at her. “Never mind, abbil,” the Sharran priestess laughed. “You can always run off with me, if you want somebody with sense…”
With Vic, it's often difficult to tell...
“The sun in Murann will tan an even bun!” Aerie said the words clearly, in the sweetest voice she could muster, and then gave lord Logum Eckel a look of radiant pride.

wow...she can blush at will???
*nods* One of her special skills, that. Very useful.
“Oh yes!” Lord Logum said, sweating profusely. “Of course I will be happy to continue your education, dear girl. It will be my pleasure to make a woman out of you!”
pervert...
I really *hate* that line in the game. It implies that a woman is only worth something if she's had sex with a man.
“Thank you, my lord,” Aerie said, delicately tucking a few strands of golden hair behind her ear. “You have no idea how grateful I am to you.”
he's going to get it...hehhehehhe
Eventually, I'm certain that he will...once she has no further use for him.
“Then why did you trust me, foolish god?”
yeah, why???
Beats me.
“Of course I was!” the woman screeched, her voice grating like a rusty nail scraping across a blackboard. “I was your high priestess – but I will soon be far more!” Her voice lowered to a sibilant hiss. “How do you enjoy your prison, my ‘Lord’? A pretty little place for a dead god’s spirit to spend eternity…or such time as remains until I can find all the Bhaalspawn. And then I will be the Lady of Murder – and you will be less than dust! Do you hear that? DOOM AWAITS THEE!”
ahh yes, the customary villain gloating over a fallen foe...she even does the giving away of nefarious plots speech...hehehheheh
Melissan is powerful...but not exactly subtle.
OH, AND ANOTHER THING, MY PRIESTESS…THAT OUTFIT LOOKS QUITE RIDICULOUS.
second good one!!!
It was fun writing Bhaal...I think I must do that again.
Next: Back to Dekkie...who is definitely doing dangerous stuff. But then, isn't he always?

Yeah, sure. You think you can fool me... or the others? Well, let me tell you something, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT!!

Umm... I'd say you are very stupid... and that you should run very fast if you want to escape. But then again he won't hear me...

In another place entirely, a red-haired woman with a feathered headdress walked across a floor that might have been marble, but was not.

Vic is one clever lady.
Viconia gave him a considering look for a moment, then turned to Zaerini. “The male isn’t entirely displeasing to my eyes, if blunt in manners…I commend you on your taste, abbil.”
Haha! Viccyyy!!
And she's lots of fun to write too.
“That’s right!” Edwina spat, as she hastily inserted herself between the half-elf and the Drow, grasping Rini’s arm tightly. “He isn’t! (And if he tries to get any ‘privileges’ I will make certain to acquaint him with my prowess at spellcasting…close and personal.)”
Yep, Edwin-a(
She certainly is!

Or at least come ToB.
HOW, EXACTLY? I’M ALREADY DEAD, REMEMBER? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, KILL ME? UNTIL ALL MY CHILDREN ARE YOURS, YOU CANNOT TAKE THE THRONE, YOU KNOW THAT. AND YOU MAY JUST BE SURPRISED BY THEIR RESOURCEFULNESS.

Melissan, yes.
And I really felt for Bhaal here, evil as he is. Great one!!

“Though I’m happy that things turned out as they did…I’d have helped myself if I’d been there.” As she turned to Edwina, her smile became even warmer. “But it seems that wasn’t necessary…I should have known you’d be able to handle yourself…Dread Wizard.”
Heh...I love those little nicknames...Something only a kid could come up with.
“Most certainly, Odesseiron,” Viconia murmured, a sly glint in her eyes. Her teeth glinted like pearls against her dark skin as she smirked. “You have, after all, advanced into being female, a vast improvement if you ask me. Doesn’t it feel superb to no longer be a member of the weaker sex?”
Heh...I happen to border on being a man-hater, so Viccy is my favorite character.
“Oh, you are fairly easily recognizable…"
He sure is!
“The climate in Beregost turned out to be less than suitable for skin of my color.”
That's an interesting way of putting it...
Viconia gave him a considering look for a moment, then turned to Zaerini. “The male isn’t entirely displeasing to my eyes, if blunt in manners…I commend you on your taste, abbil.”
“My taste?”
“Why, yes! Every female should start her collection early, so that she will have ample time to gather a suitable number of strong males. But remember to evaluate his prowess carefully before granting him any privileges, or you may be disappointed.”
Hoo, boy...I wonder how 'Dwina is planning to kill Ano?
“That’s right!” Edwina spat, as she hastily inserted herself between the half-elf and the Drow, grasping Rini’s arm tightly. “He isn’t! (And if he tries to get any ‘privileges’ I will make certain to acquaint him with my prowess at spellcasting…close and personal.)”
Lol! Getting possessive, dear?
“What is it to you, lady mage?” Anomen haughtily stated, taking Rini’s other arm and squashing it against him. “Your agitation grows steadily…methinks you need the calming presence of a husband to soothe your ire. Granted, we will likely have to pay him an enormous dowry first.”
Oh boy...I have the feeling something bad is going to happen to Ano in the near future.
“Never mind, abbil,” the Sharran priestess laughed. “You can always run off with me, if you want somebody with sense…”
Heh...Gotta love that Drow's sense of humor.
“The sun in Murann will tan an even bun!” Aerie said the words clearly, in the sweetest voice she could muster, and then gave lord Logum Eckel a look of radiant pride.
The nobleman jumped off the chaise lounge where he’d been sitting, grasped her by the shoulders and shook her. “Say it, woman! Say it again! Properly!”
I would greatly enjoy smearing your foul entrails all over the walls, using them to paint pretty pictures for my Mistress. “The sun in Murann will tan an even bun…my lord…” Aerie said again, smiling bashfully.
“Yes!” Lord Logum exclaimed. “YES! She’s got it! By Waukeen, I think she’s got it!” He clasped the Avariel’s hands in his, spinning her about. “I am a genius! I have taken this waif, this unformed lump of clay, and transformed her into a grand lady!”
Oh! "My Fair Elf!" Or should that be "My Evil Avariel?"
Bad times coming for Daddy Bhaal, eh?
Next: Back to Dekkie...who is definitely doing dangerous stuff. But then, isn't he always?
Yay! Dekkie! But where'd Poppy go?

Cards Reshuffled 117 – Priestesses
Of all adventuring professions available, the one I think I understand the least is that of the cleric. Being that dependent on a deity for your skills is not something I envy, powerful as they can be. Of course, clerics deal with this in different ways. Some will follow their chosen deity faithfully, never deviating from his or her scriptures. Others…will not.
Excerpt from ‘Ruminations Of A Master Bard’
Especially when their chosen diety is currently dead....
“I don’t know about the rest of you,” Zaerini said, “but I think it would be a very good idea for us to get out of this place for now.” She nervously looked about the large Government Square, all neat hedges and sparkling fountains, with elegant mansions partially hidden in the cool shade beneath the tall trees. “I know those Beshabans are all dead, and the Cowled Wizards who were on the scene, but you never know…there were other witnesses, and somebody might decide to sell us out.” She gave Viconia a quick smile. “Though I’m happy that things turned out as they did…I’d have helped myself if I’d been there.” As she turned to Edwina, her smile became even warmer. “But it seems that wasn’t necessary…I should have known you’d be able to handle yourself…Dread Wizard.”
Edwina preened proudly, puffing herself up so much it seemed she was about to burst. “Naturally, Hellkitten!” she said, toying with her dark hair in what Rini had to admit was a very alluring manner. “I can handle anything the world throws at me, and with ease.”
Even giant spiky lobster-monsters?
“Most certainly, Odesseiron,” Viconia murmured, a sly glint in her eyes. Her teeth glinted like pearls against her dark skin as she smirked. “You have, after all, advanced into being female, a vast improvement if you ask me. Doesn’t it feel superb to no longer be a member of the weaker sex?”
“What…” Edwina said, looking equal shares angry and perplexed. “How did you…”
“Oh, you are fairly easily recognizable…I know how to look for patterns of movement, intonation and such, and not only superficial traits.” Again, a small smirk. “Besides, you gave your name before…Edwina. Though I must say you have the makings of a fine female. You must tell me all about this magnificent accomplishment later.”
*cackle* You know, I bet there are some males in the Underdark that would sell their souls to know how to do a gender swap like Edwina's.
“I think we had better discuss this elsewhere,” Jaheira interjected. “As our Fearless Leader said, we could attract unwanted attention here. Let us go, and then we can make further plans.”
“Right,” Rini agreed. “Let’s go back to the Coronet, and then decide where we go from there.” As they headed off through the streets, she found herself walking next to Viconia and watched the Drow carefully. The priestess looked much as she remembered her, beautiful and alluring, in a commanding way, her long white hair providing a dramatic contrast to her dark skin as the silky strands peeked out under her hood. “So…” she said after a few minutes. “What brings you to Athkatla? I thought you meant to settle down in the Beregost area? And how did you wind up on top of that pyre, if you don’t mind me asking?”
“I had my reasons for leaving, abbil,”, Viconia said, and for a moment some dark emotion glinted in her eyes. Anger…but more than that. “The climate in Beregost turned out to be less than suitable for skin of my color.”
“Oh…I’m really sorry to hear that.”
I think Viccy, Rini and Eddie should form their own little support group, considering their experiences with men unable to comprehend the meaning of the word "no".
“And as for this sty of a city…phaugh! I had done nothing to deserve such treatment, I sought only to be left alone and had harmed nobody here. But a man happened to catch sight of my face beneath my hood, and that was that.”
“The Drow are known for their evil ways,” Anomen stated. Then he flushed lightly. “Though I had not known they could be so striking.”
Viconia gave him a considering look for a moment, then turned to Zaerini. “The male isn’t entirely displeasing to my eyes, if blunt in manners…I commend you on your taste, abbil.”
“My taste?”
“Why, yes! Every female should start her collection early, so that she will have ample time to gather a suitable number of strong males. But remember to evaluate his prowess carefully before granting him any privileges, or you may be disappointed.”
Zaerini was afraid to look at Anomen’s face. “Ah…Anomen is not…”
“That’s right!” Edwina spat, as she hastily inserted herself between the half-elf and the Drow, grasping Rini’s arm tightly. “He isn’t! (And if he tries to get any ‘privileges’ I will make certain to acquaint him with my prowess at spellcasting…close and personal.)”
“What is it to you, lady mage?” Anomen haughtily stated, taking Rini’s other arm and squashing it against him. “Your agitation grows steadily…methinks you need the calming presence of a husband to soothe your ire. Granted, we will likely have to pay him an enormous dowry first.”
As she found herself more or less dragged through the streets of Athkatla by the wizard and the cleric, both of them bickering vehemently, Rini turned her head to see Viconia wink at her. “Never mind, abbil,” the Sharran priestess laughed. “You can always run off with me, if you want somebody with sense…”

“The sun in Murann will tan an even bun!” Aerie said the words clearly, in the sweetest voice she could muster, and then gave lord Logum Eckel a look of radiant pride.
The nobleman jumped off the chaise lounge where he’d been sitting, grasped her by the shoulders and shook her. “Say it, woman! Say it again! Properly!”
I would greatly enjoy smearing your foul entrails all over the walls, using them to paint pretty pictures for my Mistress. “The sun in Murann will tan an even bun…my lord…” Aerie said again, smiling bashfully.
“Yes!” Lord Logum exclaimed. “YES! She’s got it! By Waukeen, I think she’s got it!” He clasped the Avariel’s hands in his, spinning her about. “I am a genius! I have taken this waif, this unformed lump of clay, and transformed her into a grand lady!”
One Flesh to Stone spell…that’s all it would take to turn you into a ‘lump of clay’ you pompous idiot. “Oh, my lord…” Aerie said, fluttering her eyelashes with practiced ease as she looked up at the nobleman’s flushed and excited face, counting the pores on his nose in order to give herself the perfect look of concentrated fascination. “…I could never have done it without you. You…you have shown me that life on the ground needn’t be so terrible after all…” …as long as there is suffering to spread, misery to cause, and hapless fools to torment… “…that I can find something else to fill my life…” …the service of my Mistress Loviatar, blessed be her name. “…and that I am stronger than most people would think.” Oh yes…that much is true. “And all because of you…my dear, dear friend.” She made a delicate blush spread across her cheeks. “And now…now I wish to ask you…if you would…”
“Oh yes!” Lord Logum said, sweating profusely. “Of course I will be happy to continue your education, dear girl. It will be my pleasure to make a woman out of you!”
“Oh!” Aerie exclaimed, intensifying the blush. “I…I didn’t mean…” Never give them what they expect, she thought, inwardly smirking at the confused look on the nobleman’s arrogant face. “Though maybe I might…some day…that is, I only meant to ask you if you would introduce me properly to Amnian High Society. I…feel I am ready for it…and I do want to make you proud of me.”
“Ah. Yes…yes of course. I need to prove my point after all, and demonstrate my keen and scientific mind’s accomplishment to those who doubted me. Very well. We will start out slowly…I’ll introduce you to the Jysstevs. They don’t live far from here, and the lady Jysstev is always fond of meeting new people. If all goes well, we will scale up from there.”
“Thank you, my lord,” Aerie said, delicately tucking a few strands of golden hair behind her ear. “You have no idea how grateful I am to you.”
-*-
In another place entirely, a red-haired woman with a feathered headdress walked across a floor that might have been marble, but was not. She was tall, taller than most men, but in this place she was dwarfed by the enormous thing that hung in the air before her, glowing with a poisonous green light that made her hair look almost black. The woman grasped her spear tightly after adjusting a couple of straps on her armor. “Ah, my Lord,” she said, an ironic smile playing on her lips. “How good it is to bask in your presence once more.”
SPARE ME YOUR PLEASANTRIES, WOMAN, an enormous voice boomed out of the green light. I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU ARE HERE, BUT IT CANNOT BE TO PAY YOUR RESPECTS. DO YOU THINK I AM UNAWARE OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE? OF WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING?
“Of course not, my Lord,” the woman smirked. “You could not help but notice, could you? Pity you didn’t guess it earlier…before your sad demise, that is. But then, I always seemed so loyal and devoted, didn’t I? So utterly trustworthy?”
NONSENSE. YOU SEEMED LIKE WHAT YOU ARE, A BACKSTABBING WITCH, AS TRUSTWORTHY AS A MIRAGE. A PERFECT PRIESTESS OF MINE, IN OTHER WORDS. YOU LOT ARE ALL LIKE THAT. OR WERE.
“Then why did you trust me, foolish god?”
I NEEDED SOMEBODY TO ARRANGE THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF MY PLAN. YOU WERE THE ONE BEST SUITED FOR THE TASK.
“Of course I was!” the woman screeched, her voice grating like a rusty nail scraping across a blackboard. “I was your high priestess – but I will soon be far more!” Her voice lowered to a sibilant hiss. “How do you enjoy your prison, my ‘Lord’? A pretty little place for a dead god’s spirit to spend eternity…or such time as remains until I can find all the Bhaalspawn. And then I will be the Lady of Murder – and you will be less than dust! Do you hear that? DOOM AWAITS THEE!”
There were a few moments of silence.
PERHAPS OBLIVION WOULDN’T BE SO BAD – AT LEAST I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO HEAR YOUR ANNOYING VOICE AGAIN. YOU’RE GIVING ME A TERRIBLE HEADACHE, AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE AN ACTUAL HEAD. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD BECOME GODDESS OF IRRITANCY INSTEAD.
“How dare you speak to me that way? Take that back or YOU SHALL SUFFER!”
HOW, EXACTLY? I’M ALREADY DEAD, REMEMBER? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, KILL ME? UNTIL ALL MY CHILDREN ARE YOURS, YOU CANNOT TAKE THE THRONE, YOU KNOW THAT. AND YOU MAY JUST BE SURPRISED BY THEIR RESOURCEFULNESS.
The woman in the feathered headdress frowned, snarling angrily. “What are you saying? You aren’t planning anything, are you?”
MY DEAR LITTLE PRIESTESS – WOULD YOU HONESTLY EXPECT ME TO TELL YOU IF I WERE? AMUSE YOURSELF WITH YOUR LITTLE GAMES AS YOU WILL. PLAY WITH YOUR FOLLOWERS, AND YOUR ARMIES. IN THE END, YOU WILL FALL.
The red-haired woman spat out a curse, and turned around to stalk out of the chamber. As she walked away, the mocking voice of the dead god followed her.
OH, AND ANOTHER THING, MY PRIESTESS…THAT OUTFIT LOOKS QUITE RIDICULOUS.
This from "Mr. Spiky Armour" himself? I KNOW Saervok got his taste in clothes from Daddy...
Actually, I'm suprised you decided to write a conversation between Bhaal and Melly at this point. From what i've read in all the script in ToB, he's considered to be "asleep", or at least unable to communicate with anything besides his own children.
Next: Back to Dekkie...who is definitely doing dangerous stuff. But then, isn't he always?
Yay, more Dekkie! Is he playing with vampires again?

Oh no! Not more Evil avariel! How can you do this to such a lovely character? Don't you know she's Good??

Intriguing..I've read through this once already, but I don't quite see how this fits...Aerie surely follows her Goddess very well. Maybe we're talking about Vicky here?

“Most certainly, Odesseiron,” Viconia murmured, a sly glint in her eyes. Her teeth glinted like pearls against her dark skin as she smirked. “You have, after all, advanced into being female, a vast improvement if you ask me. Doesn’t it feel superb to no longer be a member of the weaker sex?”
Heheh, I think her comments will actually do 'Dwina some good!
“Right,” Rini agreed. “Let’s go back to the Coronet, and then decide where we go from there.” As they headed off through the streets, she found herself walking next to Viconia and watched the Drow carefully. The priestess looked much as she remembered her, beautiful and alluring, in a commanding way, her long white hair providing a dramatic contrast to her dark skin as the silky strands peeked out under her hood. “So…” she said after a few minutes. “What brings you to Athkatla? I thought you meant to settle down in the Beregost area? And how did you wind up on top of that pyre, if you don’t mind me asking?”
Vic is one of my favourite NPCs...so complex and deep.
Viconia gave him a considering look for a moment, then turned to Zaerini. “The male isn’t entirely displeasing to my eyes, if blunt in manners…I commend you on your taste, abbil.”
“My taste?”
“Why, yes! Every female should start her collection early, so that she will have ample time to gather a suitable number of strong males. But remember to evaluate his prowess carefully before granting him any privileges, or you may be disappointed.”
Heheheh, I knew I kept that cupboard space free for a reason...
Zaerini was afraid to look at Anomen’s face. “Ah…Anomen is not…”
“That’s right!” Edwina spat, as she hastily inserted herself between the half-elf and the Drow, grasping Rini’s arm tightly. “He isn’t! (And if he tries to get any ‘privileges’ I will make certain to acquaint him with my prowess at spellcasting…close and personal.)”
“What is it to you, lady mage?” Anomen haughtily stated, taking Rini’s other arm and squashing it against him. “Your agitation grows steadily…methinks you need the calming presence of a husband to soothe your ire. Granted, we will likely have to pay him an enormous dowry first.”
Oooh, miaow! That is a very nasty thing to say.
As she found herself more or less dragged through the streets of Athkatla by the wizard and the cleric, both of them bickering vehemently, Rini turned her head to see Viconia wink at her. “Never mind, abbil,” the Sharran priestess laughed. “You can always run off with me, if you want somebody with sense…”
Nah, Rini would *never* want someone sensible.
“The sun in Murann will tan an even bun!” Aerie said the words clearly, in the sweetest voice she could muster, and then gave lord Logum Eckel a look of radiant pride.
The nobleman jumped off the chaise lounge where he’d been sitting, grasped her by the shoulders and shook her. “Say it, woman! Say it again! Properly!”
I would greatly enjoy smearing your foul entrails all over the walls, using them to paint pretty pictures for my Mistress. “The sun in Murann will tan an even bun…my lord…” Aerie said again, smiling bashfully.
*gag*
“Oh yes!” Lord Logum said, sweating profusely. “Of course I will be happy to continue your education, dear girl. It will be my pleasure to make a woman out of you!”
Ergh! I hate that line, as well you know.
“Oh!” Aerie exclaimed, intensifying the blush.
Controlling your own blush? Neat trick.
“I…I didn’t mean…” Never give them what they expect, she thought, inwardly smirking at the confused look on the nobleman’s arrogant face. “Though maybe I might…some day…that is, I only meant to ask you if you would introduce me properly to Amnian High Society. I…feel I am ready for it…and I do want to make you proud of me.”
“Ah. Yes…yes of course. I need to prove my point after all, and demonstrate my keen and scientific mind’s accomplishment to those who doubted me. Very well. We will start out slowly…I’ll introduce you to the Jysstevs. They don’t live far from here, and the lady Jysstev is always fond of meeting new people. If all goes well, we will scale up from there.”
Ahh, so these are the new NPCs you mentioned!
NONSENSE. YOU SEEMED LIKE WHAT YOU ARE, A BACKSTABBING WITCH, AS TRUSTWORTHY AS A MIRAGE. A PERFECT PRIESTESS OF MINE, IN OTHER WORDS. YOU LOT ARE ALL LIKE THAT. OR WERE.
Not very often you hear a god being peeved.
PERHAPS OBLIVION WOULDN’T BE SO BAD – AT LEAST I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO HEAR YOUR ANNOYING VOICE AGAIN. YOU’RE GIVING ME A TERRIBLE HEADACHE, AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE AN ACTUAL HEAD. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD BECOME GODDESS OF IRRITANCY INSTEAD.
Does he deliberately sound like Dekkie?
“How dare you speak to me that way? Take that back or YOU SHALL SUFFER!”
HOW, EXACTLY? I’M ALREADY DEAD, REMEMBER? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, KILL ME? UNTIL ALL MY CHILDREN ARE YOURS, YOU CANNOT TAKE THE THRONE, YOU KNOW THAT. AND YOU MAY JUST BE SURPRISED BY THEIR RESOURCEFULNESS.
Oh! Of course, Melissan is the other person referenced to in the intro paragraph. Duh, I'm so dim at times.
The woman in the feathered headdress frowned, snarling angrily. “What are you saying? You aren’t planning anything, are you?”
MY DEAR LITTLE PRIESTESS – WOULD YOU HONESTLY EXPECT ME TO TELL YOU IF I WERE? AMUSE YOURSELF WITH YOUR LITTLE GAMES AS YOU WILL. PLAY WITH YOUR FOLLOWERS, AND YOUR ARMIES. IN THE END, YOU WILL FALL.
Interesting...could it be that Bhaal helped Sarevok escape, to help his sister? Better dead than having your power stolen away?
The red-haired woman spat out a curse, and turned around to stalk out of the chamber. As she walked away, the mocking voice of the dead god followed her.
OH, AND ANOTHER THING, MY PRIESTESS…THAT OUTFIT LOOKS QUITE RIDICULOUS.
Very true!

Disclaimer: Contains very Evil Avariel. Don't like it - don't read it, and especially don't blame me if you wind up as a wet stain on the floor. She's short tempered...
You need to make an acronym for that. Like PCB, CFC, DDT, etc...VeryEvilAvarial.

:lol
Of all adventuring professions available, the one I think I understand the least is that of the cleric. Being that dependent on a deity for your skills is not something I envy, powerful as they can be. Of course, clerics deal with this in different ways. Some will follow their chosen deity faithfully, never deviating from his or her scriptures. Others…will not.
I loved the contrast between Melissan and Aerie! I also do not enjoy most clerics, they seem a bit on the brainwashed side.
Edwina preened proudly, puffing herself up so much it seemed she was about to burst. “Naturally, Hellkitten!” she said, toying with her dark hair in what Rini had to admit was a very alluring manner. “I can handle anything the world throws at me, and with ease.”
LOL wow I think I would be frightened by Edwina...massive pushed up boobs stuffed in a blood red dress are indimidating. Like time bombs, just waiting to suddenly pop.
“Oh, you are fairly easily recognizable…I know how to look for patterns of movement, intonation and such, and not only superficial traits.” Again, a small smirk. “Besides, you gave your name before…Edwina. Though I must say you have the makings of a fine female. You must tell me all about this magnificent accomplishment later.”
Vicky's a smart one.
Viconia gave him a considering look for a moment, then turned to Zaerini. “The male isn’t entirely displeasing to my eyes, if blunt in manners…I commend you on your taste, abbil.”
Ano is such a dork...and I love Viconia! She has such a different perspective on things, it's great.
Zaerini was afraid to look at Anomen’s face. “Ah…Anomen is not…”
LOL! It would either be a look of utter devotion or disgust.
“What is it to you, lady mage?” Anomen haughtily stated, taking Rini’s other arm and squashing it against him. “Your agitation grows steadily…methinks you need the calming presence of a husband to soothe your ire. Granted, we will likely have to pay him an enormous dowry first.”
Hmmm I'm going to go with devotion. This makes Ano seem very much his age, I wonder if paladins are somewhat like football players nowadays...
“The sun in Murann will tan an even bun!” Aerie said the words clearly, in the sweetest voice she could muster, and then gave lord Logum Eckel a look of radiant pride.
It took me a sec to realize what the heck she was doing! LOL, this was GREAT!
I would greatly enjoy smearing your foul entrails all over the walls, using them to paint pretty pictures for my Mistress. “The sun in Murann will tan an even bun…my lord…” Aerie said again, smiling bashfully.
After hours of that, I would probably want to gut his too...

Oh my gosh!!! LOL!!! I laughed so hard...definitely wasn't expecting a Bhaal like this
HOW, EXACTLY? I’M ALREADY DEAD, REMEMBER? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, KILL ME? UNTIL ALL MY CHILDREN ARE YOURS, YOU CANNOT TAKE THE THRONE, YOU KNOW THAT. AND YOU MAY JUST BE SURPRISED BY THEIR RESOURCEFULNESS.
Go Bhaal...it's your birthday...
Next: Back to Dekkie...who is definitely doing dangerous stuff. But then, isn't he always?
Can't wait, I love Dekaras! Great chapter, I much enjoyed it!

Am on a stupidly slow public computer with a sticky keyboard so I won't attempt a long comment, but nice chapter and I'm looking forward to seeing what Dekkie's up to

Even sucking chest wounds? Or dragons sitting on top of you?
Viconia gave him a considering look for a moment, then turned to Zaerini. “The male isn’t entirely displeasing to my eyes, if blunt in manners…I commend you on your taste, abbil.”
“My taste?”
“Why, yes! Every female should start her collection early, so that she will have ample time to gather a suitable number of strong males. But remember to evaluate his prowess carefully before granting him any privileges, or you may be disappointed.”
LOL! Maybe the Drow see men as trading cards? Trading specimens with their sisters?
The nobleman jumped off the chaise lounge where he’d been sitting, grasped her by the shoulders and shook her. “Say it, woman! Say it again! Properly!”
I would greatly enjoy smearing your foul entrails all over the walls, using them to paint pretty pictures for my Mistress. “The sun in Murann will tan an even bun…my lord…” Aerie said again, smiling bashfully.
I'm surprised she hasn't shot him yet. I would have and I'm not evil.. I think.
“Thank you, my lord,” Aerie said, delicately tucking a few strands of golden hair behind her ear. “You have no idea how grateful I am to you.”
And how much she wants you to die.
“Of course I was!” the woman screeched, her voice grating like a rusty nail scraping across a blackboard.
The master of that was Quint in Jaws... and even his nails sound better than Mellisan's voice.
PERHAPS OBLIVION WOULDN’T BE SO BAD – AT LEAST I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO HEAR YOUR ANNOYING VOICE AGAIN. YOU’RE GIVING ME A TERRIBLE HEADACHE, AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE AN ACTUAL HEAD. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD BECOME GODDESS OF IRRITANCY INSTEAD.
Goddess of Annoying Wenches Who Should Be Mutes, Oh Please Gods Make Them Mutes?
The woman in the feathered headdress frowned, snarling angrily. “What are you saying? You aren’t planning anything, are you?”
MY DEAR LITTLE PRIESTESS – WOULD YOU HONESTLY EXPECT ME TO TELL YOU IF I WERE? AMUSE YOURSELF WITH YOUR LITTLE GAMES AS YOU WILL. PLAY WITH YOUR FOLLOWERS, AND YOUR ARMIES. IN THE END, YOU WILL FALL.
Ooooh, twisty! I always expected to have to fight Bhaal at the end of Tob, but never got to.
The red-haired woman spat out a curse, and turned around to stalk out of the chamber. As she walked away, the mocking voice of the dead god followed her.
OH, AND ANOTHER THING, MY PRIESTESS…THAT OUTFIT LOOKS QUITE RIDICULOUS.
Like, sooooo, last month!
Great stuff,

Hmmm...interesting thought...
Edwin: Would you *stop* giving her ideas? (Don't I get tormented enough as it is?)

She's tempted to...but she knows that she can still use him.

That too.

I like the sound of that!

I think I'll try to make Bhaal's presence a little more tangible than it was in the game...

Indeed.

Of all adventuring professions available, the one I think I understand the least is that of the cleric. Being that dependent on a deity for your skills is not something I envy, powerful as they can be. Of course, clerics deal with this in different ways. Some will follow their chosen deity faithfully, never deviating from his or her scriptures. Others…will not.
True, true... I don't use clerics in my games anymore, only druids... for better or worse they are stuck with their Silvanus, at least no nasty surprises there...
“Most certainly, Odesseiron,” Viconia murmured, a sly glint in her eyes. Her teeth glinted like pearls against her dark skin as she smirked. “You have, after all, advanced into being female, a vast improvement if you ask me. Doesn’t it feel superb to no longer be a member of the weaker sex?”
LOL! When you think about it like that... maybe Edwina would like Underdark?
“I had my reasons for leaving, abbil,”, Viconia said, and for a moment some dark emotion glinted in her eyes. Anger…but more than that. “The climate in Beregost turned out to be less than suitable for skin of my color.”
Yup, if the story really went like Vic told it, then those bastards deserved everything she did to them.
“What is it to you, lady mage?” Anomen haughtily stated, taking Rini’s other arm and squashing it against him. “Your agitation grows steadily…methinks you need the calming presence of a husband to soothe your ire. Granted, we will likely have to pay him an enormous dowry first.”
LOL, bad, bad, Anomen... first hitting on Vic and now this... pfui!
“Oh yes!” Lord Logum said, sweating profusely. “Of course I will be happy to continue your education, dear girl. It will be my pleasure to make a woman out of you!”
The urge to kill is rising... rising... rising...
“Ah. Yes…yes of course. I need to prove my point after all, and demonstrate my keen and scientific mind’s accomplishment to those who doubted me. Very well. We will start out slowly…I’ll introduce you to the Jysstevs. They don’t live far from here, and the lady Jysstev is always fond of meeting new people. If all goes well, we will scale up from there.”
Heh, I know that Lady Jusstev has one very interesting friend... do I begin to see where Aerie's ties are going to spread? Mind flayers?
The red-haired woman spat out a curse, and turned around to stalk out of the chamber. As she walked away, the mocking voice of the dead god followed her.

And that idiot was Melly... for once she is making me feel sorry for poor old Bhaal.
Next: Back to Dekkie...who is definitely doing dangerous stuff. But then, isn't he always?
Dekkie is literally married to danger.

You don't use clerics at all? Don't you miss the turn undead ability? I love that. Not to mention Sunray, or some of the other cleric spells.

Agreed.

He's under a bad influence. Me.

Yup, I don't use clerics.
Turn undead is neat, but only important for the early parts of SoA... and my tactic against the undead is to give one of my fighters (usually Jaheira) the best equipment I have amongst with the amulet of power/ironskins/chaotic commands and improved haste if I have it, while the chosen one safely tanks hordes of vampires, the party supports him/her with ranged fire - just as safe as to turn them...
Liches... well, you can't turn those in SoA because of the low level and how many of them are in ToB... err, not many.
Sunray - Daystar... there are some clerical spells that druids don't get, but truth be told I don't miss any of them - Protection against Evil 10' is the most important, imo, but I can live without that. Sure, clerics are useful, but they are quite easy to replace and live without.
