Raiders of the Lost

"A baby nerf? At least we'd know what color to paint the room..." Thankful for the dark conditions because it hid the glare that was no doubt shooting his way, Judah was thankful Thessa took the final position in line. The last needed was for her to trip and fall or get injured in general. At least he had gained wisdom throughout their relationship -- no longer would Judah waste his breath trying to get the Galan to stay behind.

The ground opened up and Kerrigan was struggling to get to the other side of the chasm. Not having the lightning quick reflexes to respond to such a sudden event, he immediately lost his footing on the smooth stone. Before Thessa could even put her hand out, he was falling into the pit. The fall down was longer than he expected, disorienting and painful. Landing hard on some various debris, Judah felt the air leave his lungs as he gasped in pain. Tears formed in his eyes as he tried not to cry out in pain. It wouldn't do any good.

Slowly rolling onto his back, he laid in the dark, panting. Judah didn't dare left his head to search for his blaster -- not yet. He needed a moment to recover. The sound of his heart racing wildly filled his ears as he stared up into the dark, trying to pull it together. At least Thessa didn't fall. He'd never forgive himself if something happened to their unborn child or his wife. Hopefully the two were okay otherwise.


Well there you are. Took a bit of a spill. Daydreaming again?

A ghostly figure leaned over him.A young woman in a pilots jumpsuit, the zipper open to reveal a little too much, as if the woman was trying too hard. She was blue skinned with chin-length black hair, a Wroonian. A bemused expression seemed to grace the figure as she peered over the prone man.

Can't say I like the beard. Makes you look old.

Hand reached out to touch his cheek, studying his face.

Grab the artifact, don't let the Force Witch touch it. She wouldn't understand. She'd just destroy it. Destroy me.

"Last time I checked, you were long dead. Can't destroy what isn't alive." Judah wheezed, wincing at the effort it took. He must have did some damage to his ribcage.

The ghostly woman's expression quickly angered, growing fierce.

LIES!

Judah was plunged into darkness once again.

As the darkness closed in and engulfed Judah, seemingly seizing him in its malicious embrace, unyielding and vile, he would suddenly find himself gripped tight by an invisible hand and abruptly pulled off the ground and into the air. The invisible Force propelled him upward through the air and out of the pit at a fast but manageable speed.

Siobhan was quite literally in the air, having leapt down immediately after she had seen him fall, too late to stop him from descending into the chasm and hitting the ground, likewise too late before the ghostly apparation of the blue woman manifested to whisper into his mind and torment him, but fast enough to get him out. She was gliding in the air between the ceiling and the vast pit and levitating the man up seemed to cause her little exertion. Sometimes being a ridiculously overpowred telekinesis mistress came in handy for more than causing mass destruction, like tearing down buildings or throwing walker-sized writhing horrors.

Without a further word, her grip tightening slightly, she hauled him up and within moments he would have solid ground under his feet again as he was deposited on the other side of the chasm. "You ok?" Siobhan asked, still holding her gliding position in the air as if that were a normal thing to do, but then to her it was.

Then she heard them again, the whispers, quiet and yet chilling to the bone. Think your power can make you forget what you did? Come to me...it's been so long, Sio...

"Judah!"

The panicked and strangled scream left her lips as her hand grabbed air. She wasn't ready to be a parent let alone a single mother, mourning the death if her life's love. She hugged the edge of the chasm, eyes searching for a way to get down as her knees scraped against the broken stone. Desperate-gaze watched as Sio lifted his limp form.

She was left alone on the other side, frustrated beyond belief at the separation between her and them. Let the following words show the reader how karting scared she was by assenting to the use of force powers on her Galan form. "Get me the frak over there right now Siobhan Kerrigan."

She didn't even notice the look of fear briefly cross over the force user's face due to some silent creepy voice session.

Lifted up by a invisible Force was more than a little unnerving, especially when the grip was tight. Foreign and a little more than uncomfortable. However, he would be eternally grateful for the lift back up to the surface. He couldn't imagine if it was just himself and Thessa. Judah would have had to either find a way around or find rope and climb up. Something his currently protesting muscles were in zero shape to be doing.

Being set down, Judah wobbly found the wall in the semi-darkness and slid down, resting. Within a moment or two he'd be able to continue, just at a slower pace.

"Yeah, I'm fine.Are you okay?" He asked quietly, looking over at the other side of their indoor sinkhole. "Mind bringing over Mrs. Dashiell before she uses her anger to fly over on her own?"

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

@[member="Thessa Kai"], @[member="Judah Dashiell"]

They say you never forget your first murder.

Have you forgotten me? Do you think shedding your own blood can wipe the stain away? Silly girl.

Then abruptly the whispers had died down, Siobhan grit her teeth before managing to regain some measure of composure. Regardless her mind was already elsewhere since Thessa thankfully gave her something different to focus on. The mermaid was suddenly likewise lifted off her feet as an invisible hand gripped her and levitated her over the deep chasm.


"Sure." Again since Siobhan was a telekinesis master with a specialisation in throwing very heaby objects the move cost her very little energy. That was the sort of thing Siobhan could deal with. Creepy voices from the past in her head, that was another matter entirely. Especially when they were right. Within moments Thessa would find herself having firm ground under her feet again as she joined Judah. Once the mermaid had safely reached the other side Siobhan likewise shot up from her holding position in the air to glide over and landed, once again having solid ground under her feet,

All color escaped from her cheeks as she was lifted by the unnatural force and her stomach lurched, this time not from the baby. It was too much a reminder of Bane. Lips squeezed thin and she bit the inside of her cheek even as she was released.

Determined gaze remained on Judah. His face in pain alone kept her from having a nervous breakdown. Plus, she didn't want to seem like a weenie in front of Kerrigan. Never live that one down. She was by Judah's side in seconds. Her fingers tenderly brushed the shaggy hair away from his face as she examined his head.

"Sio, can you do any of that mumbo-jumbo forcie healing stuff?"

 

[Judah Dashiell]

@[member="Thessa Kai"] @[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"]

"No"

While he held no ill will towards Lady Kerrigan, Judah wasn't having a Force user mess with him ever again. Being drug out of the pit was pure necessity. His wounds -- while extremely painful -- did not warrant more meddling by the invisible current. If anyone could understand it was Thessa. Hopefully she would see his point, even through her concern. White as a sun bleached seashell, her hand ran through his hair, her eyes gazing at his head. At least he didn't hit his head....or did he? Normal folks didn't hallucinate in the manner he just had.

Waiting a moment, Judah shakily got to his feet, keeping a shoulder resting on the wall for support. He bit the inside of his cheek for a moment, avoiding the gaze of both his wife and Kerrigan. Taking a painful deep breath, Judah looked back to the two of them.

"Alright....Everyone okay?" Concerned look shot to Thessa, silently questioning. "Lets move out. Don't want to be here after dark."

Starting to hobble down the corridor, Judah could have sworn he heard the scuttling of sharp nails on the stone.

"I can't heal," Siobhan said flatly, coming across more gruff than intended as she stalked off down the corridor, taking point again. Hearing whispers in her head had put her in a bad mood, she felt strong ripples in the Force, her Force senses prickled then suddenly she heard a voice, a very familiar one, mocking to her ears.

"No, you can't, Butcher. You can only destroy. Hello, little sister. Missed me? Assuming you even remember me, what's one victim among thousands?" Abruptly it seemed to her as if the temperature had suddenly dropped dramatically and she felt the gust of a cold wind, chilling to the bone, spinning around almost in a blur she found herself facing the source of the voice.

A young woman in dirty combat fatigues, brown hair tied back in a ponytail, an open blaster wound in her forehead. Her lips were twisted into a mocking smile. An amused expression seemed to grace her features as she beheld Siobhan, who seemed frozen in place. "What, no hug? Well, I guess that's difficult...what with me being dead, noncorporeal and all that. But, hey, you feel bad about it and you've been doing so much better...by murdering your way across the Galaxy."

"This...this isn't real. You're not really here. This is just in my mind...an effect of the artefact," Siobhan said haltingly, though it sounded more like she was trying to convince herself. Suddenly she was gripped tight by an invisible force and before she could react, too paralysed it seemed by the sight before her, flung across the room into a wall - through the wall as the sheer force behind the throw punched a hole right through it. When she emerged with a groan, certain that something had broken inside her, the apparation stood above her, looking down at her, contempt written over her face.

"Does this feel real to you now, Sio? Just a modicrum of the pain I felt when you sold me out. Then again...maybe you like getting beaten up. Do you really think by shedding your own blood you can wash away your sins? Isn't it ironic that a woman who hates Sith so much sold out her own flesh and blood to them?"

"Shut up. It wasn't like that...and you're not here. None of this is real. This is just darkside trick. Now get out of my head," Siobhan yelled at the apparation.

"You'd know a lot about the darkside. If I were your dear wifey I'd be worried...only a matter of time until you..."

"I'd never hurt Tegs! Get out." Siobhan lashed out with her powers and the wall in front of her vanished from existence as it was quite literally blown up, then the wall behind it as a force explosion tore right through it as if it were nothing, her anger finding an outlet as she blasted it to pieces, but the apparation remained, unimpressed, unaffected.

"Remember Naboo? You wanted to stab her for no real reason. Oh, right, because your hatred of Sith got the better of you. Isn't it ironic that Varanin is the Jedi now?"

"I was wrong...so wrong and I'll never stop trying to make up for it. I know I don't...deserve her..."

"Like you never deserved any of the awards, any of the promotions, the fancy aristo life you're living now. You rose up by ascending over the corpses of your comrades, drenched in blood, every obstacle was removed by nepotism and fraud. Do the screams of Roche haunt you sometimes? Or those of Gehenna?"

"You want me to break down and cry? I did what I had to do, what was necessary. I am sorry...I've tried to...

"Be better? Again with the excuses, the rationalisations, you were always good at those, dear. Do you think that changes anything? Do you think that gets you of the pit. Answer me, girl!" The voice was powerful, much like a thunderclap, Siobhan felt frozen as she stood there, seemingly unable to move.

"No," she said quietly.

"You haven't changed, you can't. Because you're sick, you've always been sick. It goes right down to the roots rotting your soul. Sooner or later, it'll be Tegaea's blood on your hands as well. Sooner or later, you'll drag Tempest down into the abysss with you. No one should trust you, Sio. You're a rabid dog who should have been put down years ago..."

A cold, very cold invisible hand grabbed Siobhan by the throat and abrupty pulled her into the air, choking her. She felt it grow dark around her eyes, unable to move, unable to touch the Force as it eluded her grasp, seemingly lost to her. "It's what you deserve, you know this to be true. Why don't you..."

"Yes. I'm...sorry...even though that's not enough. Now...get out," Siobhan choked then abruptly lashed out, an outpour of power rippling from her, smashing right into the apparation, with such force that the ground seemed to be shaken by powerful tremors. The apparation flickered strongly as a blast of lightning shrieked from Siobhan's flesh hand and leapt into it. The expression of the apparation was contorted in rage as the powerful arc of lightning struck it mercilessly, an outpour of Siobhan's rage as she poured all her will into it, then abruptly vanished from the hall, with Siobhan being released, the arc of lightning coming to an end.

She didn’t like the way Judah was taking shallow gasps and his limping gait. If Sio said yes, she would’ve dug her heels in further even though, yes, she knew exactly how Judah felt. As a mother-in-the-making, she also understood the value in having a healthy and capable team member that she very might need to rely on for the baby’s and her own sake. Lips parted to follow-up her second suggestion as all frak broke loose with Sio. To Thessa’s point of view, the woman was mad. She couldn’t see or hear the apparition that plagued the force user but she witnessed and heard everything else.

Brushing past Judah, her blaster rifle raised. The setting was still on stun. Index-finger squeezed down on the trigger as she sent a succession of three high-powered bolts toward Sio’s torso without flinching or hesitation.

“Judah,” her voice was no-nonsense and in Captain-mode. “Stay back. I’m the only one going further. You are going to stay with Sio. With the way you’re breathing and walking, you’ve got a few cracked or broken ribs and you’ll be no good to me or the baby further-in. And if you pierce your lung we might not get you back to the ship in time.” Right now, she really wished @[member="Harkin Kane"] or Dells were with them. Then again, they might have experienced the same malevolent force as Sio and as she suspected, Judah.

 

[Judah Dashiell]

@[member="Thessa Kai"] @[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"]

Okay...

Apparently Siobhan's visions weren't similar to his. They were a little more insidious in nature it seemed. Judah could certainly relate even without the recent experience within the corridors of the old temple. At least Thessa had silenced the woman for now. The question was if it was enough to snap her out of the vision filled state. Judah had remembered the stun arcs deactivating the nano droids for brief periods of time. Although tiny little mind controlling droids surely weren't running through Lady Kerrigan and himself.

Resting against the wall, Judah watched his mermaid in action. Despite the pain and mortal danger, he had to smile a little at her take charge attitude. It was the take charge Galan he had fallen in love with, the one that expected her orders to be followed exactly. Someday soon after they escape he would have to ask her why she didn't sign up for the military again. No doubt Thessa missed it.

"Thess" Squeezing her free hand, Judah shook his head slightly. "I'm not letting you continue alone. You're my first priority. Junior is my second. You fall down in there and go into premature labor, then what? Some weird creature kidnaps you, how will I know where to go? Its not like it used to be, when it was just you and I."

Gaze switched to Sio, thinking.

"As for Kerrigan....Well, I can take off my belt and we can tie her up somewhere." Judah did realize how terrible that sounded but didn't want her wandering away, chasing after ghosts. "We double back and grab her once we get this thing."

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

@[member="Thessa Kai"], @[member="Judah Dashiell"]

Tie her up! How kinky! Well, unfortunately Judah had the wrong parts from Siobhan's perspective and was married so her thoughts would not drift into that direction. Suffice to say Siobhan got recreationally tied up a lot at home at night, and also knew a few tricks about getting out, with or without the Force. Of course, usually she also wore a force nullifier that deprived her of her powers and there were manacles and chains involved...

She and her wife were Mistresses of the Order of the Torch after all, which was dedicated to spreading learning and literacy through, ahem,...unconventional methods.

No matter Siobhan was caught by surprise by the stun bolts suddenly being shot her way. The first missed her, the second grazed her and as the third hit home she was knocked against the now wall, slumping to the ground and forced into unconsciousness. Hopefully she would not be plagued by bizarre visions and dreams, though such occurences were nothing new to her. Normally they revolved around encountering alt versions of herself, which in every single case resulted in a brutal fight because all Siobhan Kerrigans hated each other for this or that reason.

She squeezed his hand back briefly and turned to him, blaster still tightly clenched in her hand. "Judah. You're a liability. And I am NOT leaving an unconscious woman -even though force user - alone here. Let alone, tied up. You're staying." Reaching to her side, she handed Judah her extra blaster. Reaching into her pack, she handed him her extra comm.

"Take this. I'll check in every five minutes. I'm sure I'll be back in ten. Please, trust me."

Before he could protest further, she turned her back and began her march forward.

 

[Judah Dashiell]

@[member="Thessa Kai"] @[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"]

"I trust you. Its everything else."

Words naturally fell on deaf ears. He turned on the comm and limped his way back to Kerrigan's unconscious form. No way in hell was he letting his pregnant wife go into the depths alone. Must be the lack of kelp going to the mermaids brain. Taking off his belt, Judah managed to tie Kerrigans leg up to a small pillar. Shooting the woman with another stun blast, he would have to hope nothing ate on her body in the short span he would be gone.

Shuffling down the corridor, Judah headed in the same direction after Thessa. He kept the blaster light dim, not wanting to be spotted just yet. Judah was staying off her six for now but he did have some ground to make up. The mermaid had a head start after all.

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

Corridors upon corridors, halls upon halls. In her dream Siobhan was ever running, but there was no escape. Walls were broken, doors burst, but there was no exit in sight. Every wall destroyed just resulted in another one being erected in its place, faster than she could destroy them.

"I must congratulate your friends, they're smarter than I thought. Realised what a mad dog you are. Of course, they'll probably get driven mad by visions and never get out. Or maybe the artefact's power will overtake them and they'll leave you here. Wouldn't that be great? You said you'd never abandon me...well, before...you know," the mocking words of the apparation, of Althenea, were her companion. Somehow she could always make herself heard over the mayhem, the explosions, her soft, mocking words resounding in Siobhan's mind.

"Shut up," Siobhan growled at her, but when she tried to exert her powers upon the apparation she faltered, as if the Force was retreating from her grasp into a sphere where she could not reach as soon as she did so. In response the apparation just laughed, a very unpleasant sound.

"So eager to destroy...again. Tell me, Sio, what are you running for? When there's nowhere you can run to anymore, when every step you take...leads to one door."

Suddenly, where she had sworn there was once just a solid wall, which she had just blown up, a door manifested as if out of thin air. She took a step back, confused, looking at the ghostly form, then back at the sealed door then exerting her telekinetic will to pound it open, violently flinging it open to reveal...

A curtain of fire that opened for her to as she was inexorably drawn towards her, seemingly controlled by a will that was not her own before she managed to stop, yet unable to avert her gaze and turn away. Suddenly she heard the terrible, frightened screams of a million voices forever trapped in agony. She could hear the cries of agonised pain, so loud it felt like her eardrums were going to burst from the pressure, the gnashing of teeth, and the roaring of fire. Before her eyes an infinite prison made of bone, flesh and blood materialised. Siobhan made no attempt to avert her gaze, indeed there was nothing like surprise written across her features.

"It's not just fire and brimstone all the time. You get to relive all your failures, all your regrets, your sins...again and again and again. Your worst fears become real. What, no comment? You thought it would be Eldorai heaven for you? Meet Adril again, have an eternal pleasure garden with Tegs, fountains of wine, nubile Eldorai girls, a couple Jesters? Peace. Oh, please. Do you think you deserve that? You think so many 'good' deeds, so many times you spill your own blood 'balance' out all the 'bad' and mean you get a jail free card?"

"No, I used to think there could be a time where I'd paid my debts, balanced the scales...assuming I'd live long enough. Once you're in the pit you're damned," Siobhan said quietly, thoughtfully, amidst the blazing flames that were billowing up before, the the thick clouds of smoke almost choking,

"Maybe you're not as deluded as I thought. Kaelin's waiting for another round, you know. Along with those two Jedi you murdered, the dead of Roche and Gehenna....the poor civilians on Bespin you crushed...you know where your path ends. No matter what you do, no matter what details you alter, you'll end up here. The sooner you let go, the less damage you will cause. Think of Tegaea, do you want to risk hurting her? Tempest, do you want to drag her down? You know how rage filled she is and you're encouraging it. You killed your own flesh and blood, why don't you just dig your own grave and die?"

Siobhan stood there, frozen, looking uncertain, the agonised screams becoming so loud it was almost overpowering. More and apparations seemed to be manifesting, she recognised Omegan and Republic soldiers killed at Roche, saw the image flash in her mind as she tore the hangar ceiling down and buried them under it. Flashes of her as a common thug on Nar Shaddaa, torturing a victim with a razor, then of Althenea being gunned down on Minos...only in this vision it was not a Sith trooper holding the blaster pistol that shot out the bolt that ended her life...but Siobhan, the corpses of the rebels she had betrayed piled up around her. Finally Tegaea, badly tortured and maimed in the warehouse where Siobhan had found her, Kaelin standing over her with a malicious glee written across her featured, a crimson lightsabre in hand.

"You did this. You did this all!" Everywhere she turned more apparations appeared until she was surrounded, unable to hear anything but the same words repeated over again, the screams, the sounds of torture until the noise had become deafening. She cried out in pain as it felt like a thousand daggers were mercilessly stabbing her, piercing her flesh, feeling like an icy knife was being stabbed through her heart.

"You're good...no, I'm good," she spoke at last as she finally found her words. "Al would just...punch me in the face. There's no one...better at being this cruel to me...than myself. This is all me. This place is just taking what's in my mind and trapping me inside it."

The ghostly face of Althenea twisted into an expression of pure loathing and hatred. "You deserve this, you admit it yourself. Tell me, if you knew you didn't, would your mind conjure up being tormented like this?"

"Maybe, but I've had enough of a voice talking in my head. If I made all this, then I can get out as well, silence all the voices. Just by...wanting it enough. Besides, we both know I'd beat the crap out of every single demon and take over Chaos. Then go and conquer heaven. I am a Chaos Goddess after all," she declared just as a thousand invisible ghost hands suddenly seized her, a chill as cold as Hoth spreading across her, numbing all her limbs as she was pushed forward through the door, but her will warred against theirs as the through her will the Force returned to her and blasts of energies dissipated them.

In the real world the rope restraining her...broke in two and she plummeted to the hard ground as the small pillar shattered, a part of it hitting her left leg so that she cried out in pain as she abruptly awoke.

After a few turns in the bend and well away from the forcer having the nightmares, she stopped, coming to an old chamber. Brushing away cobwebs, she stepped inside, spying an ancient looking trunk. Sometimes, even the simplest movements were more difficult while pregnant. Take, kneeling for example.

She paused and managed it anyway, knees grinding into the soft dirt-clay floor. Without looking up as she opened the trunk, she called over her shoulder. "Judah, I know you're there. Your lung-punctured breathing is hard to miss. Just, stay close to me, okay? You didn't leave Kerrigan tied up, did you?"

 

[Judah Dashiell]

[member="Thessa Kai"] [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"]

Limping along, it took him much longer to reach Thessa than it should have. Apparently his labored breathing gave him away before his foot falls ever did. Turning his blaster light on full power now, he scanned the room for anything out of the ordinary. Nothing unusual, just the whispering in his mind still. He had made the....whatever...angry, yet it kept a low murmur in his ear. A noise similar to a insect slowly buzzing around his head. Annoying but not so simple as swatting it away.

"Imagine my snoring." Smile graced his features before falling at the mention of Siobhan being tied up. "I was gentle. Just her leg. She'll be able to move around and untie herself if needed. Its so she wont wander....sort of."

Shuffling over further, Judah looked down into the trunk.

"Any idea? I can just drag the whole thing out..."

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

[member="Judah Dashiell"], [member="Thessa Kai"]

For her part Siobhan limped out of whatever chamber she had been left and tied up in. Judah's belt was probably not going to be worn by him any time soon, what with it being sort of ripped and all that. As for the pillar, it had crumbled into bricks upon bricks that were strewn across said chamber.

With a groan and breathing more heavily than she would like - getting smashed into your chest bloody hurt - Siobhan limped out of the room, calling on the Force to strengthen herself. Having a ridiculously high pain tolerance sort of came in handy, though generally this was not the sort of 'tie me up' scenario she liked. Her ideas of that were a bit...different. They generally involved a certain redhead. Or Tempest. Along with whips, chains and sometimes hot wax.

Anyway, moving on reaching out with the Force she homed in on the presences of Judah and Thess and begun making her way there. Hopefully they would not be hearing to voices as well! Or try to shoot at her because then she would have to wreck their blasters and such violence in front of an unborn child could have a detrimental effect on it. One must always think of the kiddies!

I need a frakking drink, At least she was no longer hearing voices or seeing ghosts from the past.

 

[Thessa Kai]

[member="Judah Dashiell"] [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"]

She nearly choked on her own laughter. "Judah, you can barely walk - let alone drag a trunk out." When was she going to get it through her husband's thick skull about how bad his injuries were. He was the worst at bedside manners.

She shouldn't have married someone so much like herself.

Popping the trunk open, she rummaged around, fingers digging in the dirt at the bottom and brought-up a tear-dropped shape piece of rock with some sort of writing on it. She showed it briefly to Judah before tucking it inside a satchel at her hip. "I think this is it. Let's go and see if Kerrigan is still alive. When we get back to the ship - I want you in the medbay and no ifs ands or buts about it, Mister."

Concerned but stern look scoured her husband.

"Walking is overrated"

Looking at the piece of tablet...rock...thing....Judah found it hard to believe they came all this way for such a small piece. The private buyer better be paying good credits for the rock. He certainly didn't fall down in the pit for his health, although he experience had been enlightening. The hallucinations still had his mind racing a little. Not knowing much of the Force, Judah wasn't quite sure why he had been on the receiving end of such images and thoughts. Certainly didn't seem to help any -- besides the tossed into a pit thing.

"I think you're loosing the Kai glare. Only half scared." Limping out of the chamber, Judah shook his head. "I'll be fine. Some painkillers, a shower, a couple hours of sleep in our cabin. I'll be half as good as new."

A mild scoff at the mention of Kerrigan. Thessa was treating him like he tied up a defenseless ropo!

"She's fine, I'm sure. Probably angry you weren't the one doing the tying up."

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

[member="Judah Dashiell"], [member="Thessa Kai"]

"Normally when I get tied up there's way tighter ropes. There's also a force nullifier. This isn't near hardcore enough. Haven't gotten around to doing it with a mermaid yet though," Siobhan said sarcastically, obviously not understanding that there might be such a thing as too much information, as she made her way into the hall where they had found the piece of tablet, rock, whatever. She could clearly sense the Force energies emanating from it, the little piece of roch having the distinct aura that told her it was the arcane piece they sought.

"Yeah, that's it," she said, indicating the rock. She could use a drink - and some non-family-friendly action in her private dungeon once she got back home to her wife. Though she felt like she wanted to be the one doing the tying up this time.
