← Ravi's Service | Home
Escaping the Cult of Narkul with the help of Blacklist, Ravi makes it to the Promised Archpeligo where she ends up back in service of another tyrant. Although this time it feels less like slavery and more like serving time in a job she dosnet want to be in.
A blood hunter pact called Vanahern is having issues with one of their rouge members. Being a blood hunter herself Blacklist gave the job to Ravi in order to fulfil. once she did her dept would be considered paid.
Chapter 1: Faces to meet, Meals to Eat
The meeting with Blacklist Had dragged the day on too long. Ravi and Remi found the tavern they would be staying in until the job was complete. Finding a hot meal and a cold drink she with Remi on her shoulder found the only table not drenched in noise.
Perched at the table is a Male Blue Tiefling busy enjoying his own meal. Interrupted by the Crimson Hair lass sitting at the table he paused mid bite, Staring at her unblinking, As if trying to figure out if he should run on defend his territory.
Ravi did not notice at first digging into her meal almost as soon as her butt reached the chair. handing some meat to Remi she caught the Tiefling's gaze. “uhhh…hi…alright if we sit here yeah?”
The Tiefling finally swallowed his mouthful of food and nodded, seemingly relieved. “Uh y yea of course…My name is..Vivacious” He holds out the hand with the fork as if to sake it before realising his mistake, Retracting it and retrying with an empty hand.
Ravi accepted the greeting. reaching her paw over and gripping his, Giving it a firm shake. “Yeah…I'm Ravi, this is Remington”
Vivacious took a good look over Ravi, He hadn't been back in the world for long but he had yet to see a species such as her. Not quite a normal Tabaxi but what else could she be? He studied her features for a bit trying to solve the puzzle of her heritage, Eventually catching Ravi's attention away from her meal once again. looking weirderd out she opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by another guest.
A Strapping yet rather well kept Dwarven man, Rattled with the sound of cooking utensils whenever he moved. He rocked the table with a hearty lauogh and a quick blessing. “Aye look what Lathander has brought me this fine evenin?!. A couple of talented adventures it seems. The Promised Arcapeligo is not for the faint heart traveller. so you two must be able bodied enough eh?!”
There was another long pause as Ravi and Vivacious looked at each other then back at the Dwarf. Viv speaking up.
“You mentioned Lathander? you are a follower of his teachings then? ”
The Dwarf clicked his tonged and sat down with a heavy slump. dumping his mug of beer upon the table with a splash.
“That's correct my boy, I am not only a follower but a teacher myself, A Cleric of our lord Lathander's holy circle. I spread his good word through a bit of my world famous cooking. A warm hearty meal of Lathander's knowledge and love, That's how our lord would want his name spread aye?!, The name is Furgus”
Ravi rolled her eyes at the speal of holy works, Taking a lot of effort not to make a rude jester or comment as Fergus droned on and on. Viv either too polite or genuinely invested enough not to stop him, Only added Oh?, yes, I agree After every 2nd or third sentence.
Slowly the convocation became a bit more informative. Vivacious explaining what had brought him to Promise in the first place.
Fergus seemed to tone his bombastic aura down a peg to listen in. “Aye, that is quite a story lad. You still not sure who you are exactly?”
Viv shrugged. “I am Vivacious, whoever I was before I have decided is long gone, No longer will I be held back. Maybe one day i will find the truth but for the moment I am free to write a new story.” He sat tall and proud as if he was accepting what he was saying.
He wet on about the struggles of being one of the outlawed species while in Mulburg Riverview. It was part of the reason he made the international journey. Promise had no such laws and he was free to walk about as he wished.
He told of his arcane studies, His power has been rapidly increasing in the few years he has been traveling, Real world experience and a desire to stay safe as a Tiefling have lead to Viv gaining great experience, putting him in line as a LEVEL TITLE HERE Wizard. e opened his spell-book, Eager to show Furgus who's interest quickly evaporated at the Arcane wording.
“And soon I hope to see the Hollow Cliffs, There is word of a rare species of hyper intelligent giant eagle known as Sigora. they have their own society and kingdom there in those lands said to be very wild, not much of the land has been disturbed by people.” Vivacious seemingly getting more excited as he spoke. It seems it had been quite a while since Viv had anyone decent to talk too. Just how long has it been since he actually had a convocation with someone?
Furgus patted him on the back before pulling a waitress aside, ordering a few more mugs of meed. “I am sure you two drink?”
Viv shook his head. “O no no, only really wine and very occasionally.”
Furgus chuckled. “Well my boy, Lathander's not gonna stand for that, tonight we will drink for your future, and for my Mission, We drink together tonight!” He took a swig before eying over to Ravi.
Furgus grunted. “Can't say i seen a Tabaxi quite like you lass, Its those eyes I see, Dark and Golden…hurrr, An Ill Omen at that.
Ravi swollowed her food before oing on a bit or a tangent.
“O noooo” SHe said with a sarcastic grin. “The scary furry lady is goanna ruin my holy mojo..Look if I was really any upset would Lathoonder or whoever you pray to have stricken me down by now?”
There was a bit of a pause before Furgus spoke up apologetically. “My apologise miss, its obvious you have delt with similar comments in the past, you don't need to hear them from another stranger….As you know. My name is Furgus, Cleric and Chef of Lathander. How about you and your friend there?' he points at Remington who is quite snug on her shoulder.
Ravi arrows her eyes for a moment before letting out a sigh, letting the ager leave her body. “Well i am Ravi and this is Remington. We are Slayers, we landed on Promise just a few days ago to sort out an issue on these islands. big job, pays well.”
A smile crossed Fergus’s face “heyyy same as we! I am my new friend here are also on the islands to deal with trouble. I assume its the same trouble lass? A rouge Hunter!”
Viv, caught off guard chocked on his food a bit. “Oh no, my apologies sir…Firgus but i am simply here to sightsee, n no trouble fo for me i am afraid”
The dwarf latched a burly arm around Viv pulling him in close for embrace.
“Nonsense my Devilish brother, Lathander must have lead us together don’t you see?! We will be traveling all over the islands you will get your sight seeing.” He pulled Viv down a bit and lowered his voice. “Not to mention, the pay is good, and some of it is upfront heheheh”
Ravi’s thoughts running through, She didn’t like to work with others but after the events of the year she needed some friendly faces around.
“It is always better to travel as a group, These islands are rather untamed and can be quite dangerous. Perhaps we should form an adventuring party for the job?”
Ravi’s oversized ears perked up, The idea of a classic adventure excited her. Met with Furgus’s massive smile she guessed he was on board. He shook Vivacious in excitment.
“See See!? Even the Crimson haired Slayer is looking for companionship. Wadda ya say my brother Vivacious? Make it official.” Furgus stuck his hand in the middle of the tablr followed soon after by Ravi’s large paw and a Wing from Remington.
Viv sighed a combination of peer preassure and the rather good points breaking his introverted nature. “Very well, we shall tag along…b but only for this job okay!? And i expect to be paid well”
Viv places his hand in with the group before another new hand joins. Large, rouge, dull green in colour. An Orc had appeared at the table, he had seemingly joined the group while they were distracted. He was massive, tall and very buff, Dressed in rather light armour and wielding fine small weapons, the lack of a big brutish hammer or sword threw off the typical stereotype of moat Orcs. His voice deep and corse like a typical full blooded Orc.
“Names Carbork, Carbork wishes to join this group too, Same Job, Same plan, Carbork needs Companions, Has chosen you three and the bird. We will do well.”
The rest of them looked at eachother before Furgus spoke up “aye thats the spirit, the more the merrier”
Vivacious sighed “Well at least it won’t be a boring adventure”
The four of them plus Remi clasped hands and agreed in unison. Ordering another round of food and drink as they began to talk and plan.
