Cloud Travel Pit Stop

The next day we went to see our new dragon friend and we told her all we knew about the Lyich queen and her actions. She told us if we ever needed to reach her, to put on a ring she gave us and say her name “Ghrydoros”.
Nacku suggested we travel by clouds, in the air. I liked the sound of that. So we start to Cloud travel to Filijni, the next stop on our way to Raposh. We had heard of some trouble with some dark gnomes coming out of their holes in another direction but honestly we didn’t think that was related to any of our current problems and we weren’t really looking for more trouble. Besides Pedal seemed unexcited to help her own kind, explaining they never really got her. Their loss. I think she is fearless and the good kind of weird. The psychic link only lasted for part of the trip so we would have to entertain ourselves the rest of the way. The last thing I heard anyone say for a few hours was Freya who said “I look like a fart!” She is so peculiar. Oddly one of the Makuza Clouds started drifting down. Then two more. I desperately wanted to say “Hey guys Filijni is that way. Where you going”. But alas there is no choice but to follow and see what’s up.
Oh Tigers eating farmers in the field below. Okay, well I don’t know this is any more our problem then the Dark gnomes but here we are inserting ourselves. I guess it is different when you see it in front of your face. You kind of feel like you are obligated to help. It does look pretty gory down here. Oh, shit was that a guys arm? We are slowly solidifying across the field from the action, and I can still see cloudy whisps coming off Freya as she runs in to the battle with a tiger, no a ware-tiger. “Great. Freaking ware-tigers now” I think as I run as fast as I can over to help the farmers. I got a little closer to a tiger then I wanted to so I threw a dagger up in the air and teleported away. Flying above is a much better vantage point for gauging the battlefield. I noticed Nacku was down and Freya had two on her and the one that was on me was now turning it’s attention to a more accessible target. Freya. She is surrounded by three of them now. I threw my dagger at one and managed to add a little something extra to this psychic dagger. The tiger I hit was scared of me. Good. It moved away from Freya but turned into a ware-tiger. Nacku is back up but having a tough time by the looks of it. My next attack lands two psychic daggers at one slashing at Nacku. Avery is sniping at them with is bow and Ozzy let loose a blazing fire ball in the field. There was one on the run from Freya and I thought for a moment to psychic link with it and tell it to stop running or we would kill it, but I felt the fear creep inside and all I could do was think about Her dark whisper growing like tendrils in my brain. I shook it off and decided to dart after it. I’m an excellent flyer and caught up to it. Let’s just say it didn’t end well for the ware-tiger. When I got back to the field I saw Freya choking one out like a champ and another one running with Nacku and Lamin on its heals. I’m faster in the air and swooped down on it, dagger dagger, death from above! I make my way back to the center of the burning and bloody field where MAKUZA has the last foe kneeling. We ask it what it wants, and to our horror it simply said they wanted to hunt and eat humans. But now with it’s pack gone it wanted to die. It seemed so alone. My companions momentarily looked morally conflicted about killing the subdued animal. I honestly don’t know if it was the look of loss in its eyes that told me death would be mercy, or if it was justice for the farmers whose body parts and organs now litter these fields or just plain fury for at the thought that this murderous fuckin thing could attempt to curry pity after what it and its pack did. But whatever the reason, it was my psychic blade delivered the final blow. I didn’t even feel bad about it.
I much prefer the kind of pit stops on a long journey where you get drinks and snacks. Maybe if I see a nice hot spring on the way to Filijhi I will float down and make everyone land and take a soak. Wouldn’t that be nice. I float on with my thoughts alongside Freya …. Hey Freya, If you have to pee as a cloud, does it come out as yellow precipitation?
