The Maids Guide to Demon Hunting

"Do I recognize this?" Katherine asked, "Of course. Crest of a blood demon clan. I believe it was the 'Silxtratch' clan. Low ranking within the first circle. They have the ability to manipulate metals in... some way. Of course, I'm not a demon so I couldn't tell you how that's done, Lyssa. Perhaps someone with more first hand experience could tell you." The firbolg mentioned, not specifying who she might possibly mean by that statement. "Really though, your father had that in his study? How curious. I wonder why that was there." The maid mentioned with a small shrug. "So were you here to try to figure that much out?" The firbolg asked, folding her arms across her chest.

Luna grabbed Cecilia by the shoulder. "Oh, you know Fio is the court mage for Her Majesty?" Luna asked with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't remember saying anything about Airedale or Queen Sorcha. Nor did she remember Fio saying anything about it. "Have you been around Airedale to know that?" The knightess mentioned with the puzzled look on her face still. "How about you stay here and have a drink with us if you've been there." Luna said, not sure if she wanted this woman to go. She was somewhat suspicious with her motions but she tried to not let anything show on her face as more than a puzzled look.

"Ahh, Giselle. Pleasure to see you. Yes, dealt a horrid hand perhaps but that's gamble you take when you decline an offer before you knew what you needed." The nun giggled as she moved close to Julene. "Now, if you were to ask how we were able to beat monsters such as that? That's an easy answer." The nun pulled the human into a tight hug whether Julene wanted or not. If anything, it were to prove the pure difference in strength between them if the human tried to break out of it.

The cleric then spoke into the human's ear. "We gave up on our humanity a long time ago. Humans are poor, weak, frail creatures. Have I not taken more than enough damage in the past day to kill a normal human at least 5 times over? It is all because I have given my all to my goddess, Ichor. I had nothing. A poor, frail human. I can't even remember what I was like at the time." The nun said as she released Julene from the hug. "Now, I'm quite the powerful woman. A vampire. A being above human and one that can give you the power I can tell you crave and desire. Power that would enable you to protect the villagers here, if you so desired. The only price is binding your heart to both me and the goddess. A small price, is it not? Gaining a family to protect your village?" The vampire held her hand out to the human then anticipating a positive answer.

"Drag you off to your room? Only if you make us. We could be friends or we can force you back in your room. Your choice, really." Katherine mentioned with a smug smile. "We were ordered by someone who should be in their room to go clean up or whatever it is we do. We could make that the priority if you wanted. Only if you have a little chit chat with us. Otherwise, we'll be forced to strong-arm you back into where you belong.

The firbolg maid then pointed to Eliz with a smile. "I wouldn't even have to raise a finger myself since I believe she's more than capable... And willing... To take you back." Katherine would rather hope the demon would try to project an image of power. That's what she was hoping for. If they could get the child to spill information about where his father kept things, well, that made it a lot easier for them.

This place was quite interesting. Luna did not expect there to be what seemed to be a human run place of business in the middle of the giant's town. She was rather impressed that there was a fine split between what was easy for a giant to relax in and what was easy for human-sized creatures to relax. "Yes, let us discuss our plans then. Perhaps we can talk of things unrelated as well. Even as a Lightsword it's not too often that I've had much of the pleasure of talking with giants in an extended period."

It was then that Luna looked over and noticed someone else in there. A human wearing quite the interesting outfit. "I didn't think there would be any other humans here." Luna mentioned to their giant benefactor. "Perhaps we should go say hello. Doesn't hurt to know who else is around, at the least." With that, Luna made her way over to the other human she saw.

"Greetings! I didn't expect to see another person of below giant size while here." The knight said, "Lunalel Lightsword. Pleasure to meet you." The Lightsword said with a smile.

"So she left home did she?" Akyahsa asked her bats that found her home comforting. It didn't take long to find her however. Akyasha walked up on her and noticed her cleave a training dummy in half. Perhaps this was the moment to dig into the girl's psyche? The red-headed cleric smirked and moved close to the now sword-less human. "My, I wish you could have done that to the monster earlier. Well, I suppose you can't help it when I had to pull you away from the jaws of certain death that awaited you... Twice now, in fact." The cleric mentioned, letting her words hit a mean tone to them. Almost petty even.

"So, what's got you looking disappointed? The aforementioned? Feeling too powerless to save the town?" The cleric added with a smile. "I think all humans are guilty of being too powerless to save those around them at times." The vampire then smiled smugly. "Well, some can't even save themselves as well, I suppose." While it wasn't blatant, it was easy to tell those words were directed at Julene herself. "But I suppose humans can only do so much without help."

Katherine was glad that her lie worked. It would have been annoying to have to resort to something else to continue what they were doing. "Something off about him? Well, plenty seemed off. According to that woman, he might be the first kid I've seen that's going to be turned into a coat." The firbolg mentioned, smirking at her own joke. Though, upstairs, she was surprised when she saw the small boy kick in a large, sturdy door casually. "Secondly, he seems to be quite a bit stronger than appearances would suggest." She continued after witnessing the sight.

It was then that Elizstrazia would dash forward to catch the boy in the act. Well, Katherine wouldn't say anything about that one. After all, she too was curious with the boy. "Hmm. How curious. We just witnessed the young lord destroying the house while he's suppose to be under house arrest. Lissa, don't you think this calls for an immediate intervention?" She had to ask, smirking as if things were going much better than expected. "I suppose we'll have to send him back there, will we not?" She continued, following behind Eliz's trail. She wondered if her dolls would have to be used.

"I think you might just need to eat the honey instead of dousing her in it." Lunalel mentioned, shaking her head a small bit. "As for those bandits, well, I think they should be easy enough to take care of. So long as they have no giant beast to help them. "Luna mentioned, remembering back to the bandit attack on her new home. "The lindwurm does strike some concern into me, however. It would help if we had a tried dragonslayer with us, perhaps." Luna giggled, thinking of why they even came this way in the first place.

"It might be good to find a place to rest up for now though. We'll need our rest if we wish to challenge something so dangerous." Luna said, turning to Gunnrun. "Would you be able to point us in the direction of some place to rest? An inn or anything of the sort?" She asked, curious for an answer. She looked out to her companions. "A good rest somewhere safe sounds go to me right now, doesn't it, Sucaria?" She asked her maid, though the question was most obviously aimed at the whole party.

Akyasha nodded along to all the human's complaints about going to Alavaris and then listened to what Gilles and Argus. "I as well will accept your hospitality. I'm not sure how long my fellows will be." The cleric said, "I think they may assist with insight to the situation. Or, perhaps, the resolution to what they had encountered." Akyasha smiled looking to her bats. "You all, keep an eye around town. Make sure nothing hostile comes about." She considered what to do with the bats. She might use them to summon something a bit more combat effective. Not now. Not while there were humans in front of her at least.

The cleric then thought about the girl that had walked off. "Well, I'll go check on Julene first and make sure she's fine after that... Encounter." Akyasha mentioned, "I'll be back in a bit." The cleric said, turning and heading off toward where she saw Julene go.

That boy was quick at escaping. Quick enough that another maid had accosted them before they had a chance to escape. Help outside? That was the opposite of where they would want to be. "Apologies. We had just talked with the young master and he had already told us to clean up a mess upstairs." The firbolg maid gave a face of mild irritation and as if catching herself making such a face, hid it. "We'll clean it up as fast as we can and get out there." The firbolg lied, though, convincingly so. At least in her eyes.
