At the lake:
Muglee's rock had ended up splashing into the water close to her, but not a direct hit, nearly perfecting her disguise. The two goblins happily run to stand in the short shallow area by the edge of the water, and then start throwing crude ropes past her.
Ropes with slightly bulky block of wood on the ends.
Though these goblins cannot swim, they had collectively figured out how to make ways of dragging things floating in the lake toward themselves from shore, and would pull the ropes, hoping the weights would catch on the girl and draw her toward them....
That said, they are still in the water, at least knee deep, and don't notice as it gradually begins to warm....

"Fine then," she says, holding her hands out forward, tapping them together to tell him to hurry up.
After he's done putting them onto her, she asks, "Aren't you supposed to be ordering me forward at spearpoint now or something? Boss-wyrm's already getting a move on."

Liliath was floating on the water. She was laying with her head in the water crying softly. She started cutting her hand open even more, the water started getting warmer and warmer. Liliath herself struggeld to stay with her head underwater. She pushed the ropes a bit away from her.
However she was getting a bit panicked, the water was getting warmer and warmer and she couldn't see if it did what it was supposed to do. Killing the goblins. Liliath decided to stand up and then she climbed out of the water. She was happy with the result "That's what you get for trying to kill me." She said

At the lake:
The goblins scream as their skins begin to boil. A smarter creature would have left the water, but these ones just panicked, eventually being scalded to death.
Sadly, they're far too dead to reply to Liliath when she speaks to them. Fortunately, that also means that they can't retaliate.
One of them actually has a fairly good knife, the sling, stone-pouch, and spear are about the right size for Liliath to use if she would like, and they carry a few small coins between them.

Liliath looked at first with disgust when she realized they were dead, but then (after the water was warm, but not boiling anymore) She jumped in the water and walked to their body's.
"Let's see what you guys got." She grabbed the knife and the spear, she also grabbed the coins and then walked out the water and continued walking. "I've got a knife and coins now i am rich."

Aboard the Agate Breeze:
The nurse seems slightly exhasperated with Adriannu's antics, and is about to try and indicate something, when they stop, listening again. Then they chuff out a sigh and gesture toward the door. Another floating line appears out in the hall, looking like it's going back the way they came.

"Jules, I know you weren't asking me but I mean hey I thought I'd chime in." She chuckles as she finishes healing Neo. She then transforms into her human form.
"And, since I'm pretty sure yer going to hear it anyway, my name's Alastor." He shifted his scratches to underneath her chin, taking on his usual grin. "Alright, we've given our names, your turn then."
"Raven- Oh, yeah...that's the spot!" She lowers her head into his hand and lets herself bliss out for a minute longer.
Then satisfied, she mrrows and hooks his hand in-between her front paws, drawing Alastor's fingertips near her mouth so she can bite him; playfully, of course.
When she lets go, whether forced to or after getting bored, she rises slowly and starts to clean the man's scent off her head and paws, as one does.
"So...you're friends of that moron?" She pauses in her cleaning to jab a paw toward the unconscious Neo.

"Uh...right."
The man waves. Another bandit approaches Victi from behind and jabs the small of her back with a spear. "Oi, get a move on!"
Some other thugs give Drake the same treatment, much to his chagrin, and the cluster goes on its merry way following Aurora's lead.
She guides them off the road and into the woods, ducking under branches and slithering through treacherously thick undergrowth with grace unusual for a creature of her bulk. The group travels in uncomfortable silence for some time until she breaks into a clearing ringed by tents. A crowd gathers to greet their leader and jeer at who they assume to be prisoners.
While the scouting group who "ambushed" them were all humans, the members of the perimeter camp shows itself to be much more diverse. Orcs, elves, dwarves, fuirmoki, felxians...even a handful of jabbering goblins kneel under the icy gaze of their Lady before rising to point and laugh at the guests in bondage. That isn't even to mention all of the thieves whose heritage Drake can't readily identify. He notes there are no chimerae or other dragons. Not surprising, she hates anyone who vaguely resembles him and dragons are rare and tend to be reclusive.
Aurora sends her scouts away. "Malcolm; I'll summon you for a report later. Now..."
She addresses Victi and Drake, glaring about both in turn. "Follow me." Assuming they have no choice but to do as much, she silently leads them to a massive tent pitched in the center of the clearing. She lifts the flap and enters with nothing more than a head-toss commanding they come inside.

Back on the bed, Adriannu listened as Lisa explained what had happened since she had been knocked out. She instantly smiled upon hearing that they were on the Magister's ship, clearly pleased to have gotten her wish even if it had been in less then ideal circumstances. Regardless, she did remain silent for most of the explanation, but quickly spoke up upon hearing that Raven had been left behind. "Why was Raven left behind?!" She practically shouted and between this and her expression, it was clear that she was greatly upset by this news."
However the fact that her injury had been treated wasn't lost on her and thus she turned to look at the nurse while she waited for an explanation about Raven from Lisa. Due to the language barrier, she wasn't sure how to convey her gratitude at first, but soon came up with an idea. Looking directly at the nurse, she enclosed her right fist with her left hand before bowing deeply in a gesture of respect and gratitude. The child didn't know if the kitsune would understand the gesture, but she genuinely hoped that she would.
Shortly after this, the floating line appeared again which left Adriannu rather puzzled. "Lisa what is that?" She asked while pointing at it.

"Yeesh, I was mostly joking!" Victi exclaims, "You realize I can still produce electrical discharges that could cook your insides without magic, right?"
"Also," she adds, lowering her voice and adding a slight growl, "I don't think the boss lady would appreciate it if you encouraged a reduction in payment on account of damages, got it? Remember that we're clients"
Once they get to the camps, Victi's first action is to rapidly take stock of the possible hostiles for later, if things go poorly or the 'ness decides that giving the shard back is for chumps. There are a lot, and she doesn't have too much idea of what they can all do, which isn't the most reassuring. Great.
She also indulges her own sense of humour a little, turning to growl at the crowd of bandits, fanning her tails imposingly up behind her and letting sparks crackle violently across her fur. Honestly, whether it scared them or just egged them on didn't matter. She mostly just liked attention and presenting herself as a feral force of nature. Also, being zappy did wonders for the tingling, at least, if not for the headache.
That done, she happily follows the bandit queen into the tent.

Alastor gave a slight laugh at Raven's playful nature. "We got a feisty one 'ere. That's good, yer going to need that energy around this motley crew." He glanced over at Neo. "Yeah, he's with us. Still trying to figure out his limits, but he's damn good in a fight."
We did have someone else, but she... decided to part ways with us." Alastor's smile disappeared as he thought over recent events. "How about you, eh? Travelling alone?"

Lisa's ears droop as she casts her gaze to the room's sleek, unearthly floor. "I- the magistrate explained she didn't clearly mentally consent. If...if I understand what he means by that, the magic or technology he used to bring us here needed her to want to get out of danger." She shakes her head with a rueful smile. "That doesn't surprise me at all; she never seems to know fear."
"I'm sorry; I know you like her. I do too, and I promise you as soon as we get back to orbit we'll-" A startled gasp cuts into her spiel as she turns her gaze to focus on the reappearance of that pale blue line.
She groans. She's going to have to face that elevator again, won't she?
"I think that means we can leave." Lisa swallows her anxiety and holds out her hand for the child to take, something that'd do more for her own comfort than Adriannu's. "Would you come with me?"

Victi's light show sees that the crowd backs away, a wave of shock (haha) rippling through the group. They don't learn, though, and hoot and holler for her to do something else impressive until Aurora silences them with a snarl. The bandits dissipate as she leads them into the tent.
The tent is dimly lit by a few lanterns strewn across a long, dingy table. This table also holds a regionals map that Aurora swipes into her claws, folds up, and tosses aside as she walks by. A glance around the shelter reveals two weapon racks running both sides, holding a diverse number of blades and armor fitted for someone of Aurora's shape. Unlike the table, these racks are meticulously organized and the gear itself is well-polished. A small, tattered fur skin drapes over the far end of the left rack. Drake goes pale at the sight of it. Several more such trophies decorate the back wall- A tanned scaly hide, a pair of large curly horns, a couple of helmets, a broken sword, and a pair of scuffed talismans.
Aurora catches him staring and flashes a brief, prideful smile. It fades as she reclines on the other end of the table, resting her forearms on it. She raps her talons against the old wood slowly, thoughtfully. "Let me remind myself what you proposed to me. I guard an item against a demon or demons for some days in return for...?"
Drake calmly explains, "Gold. I have gold, and she has magic. We can pay whatever you ask for."
Aurora closes her eyes and nods once, then she looks to Victi and address her like she's the one who spoke. "I can assure you I'm more than capable of defending against such a kind. See," she jerks her head toward the pair of horns; glistening blood-red in the dim lantern-light. "Those horns belonged to a demon bounty hunter. As strong and...versatile with magic as he was, he stood nothing against myself and my crew."
Her lips curl into a thin, cruel smile, just wide enough to show off her sharp teeth, and it does not fade as she continues to speak. "Tell me more about your problem, and if you have it on hand, I would like to see what this clawing's about." The rapping of her talons against the table stops as she waits patiently for Victi to reveal the shard, or at least go more into detail about her job offer.

"Apparently, I am," she growls. The look she shoots Neo is sharp enough to kill, but the resurgence of anger passes quickly as she remembers what he has. And what she has. And what she needs to find more of.
And...that Lisa would totally not let her follow through with this plan. And she'd be kind of sane not to, at least from the chimera's perspective; she's been through hell and back already, long ago. The girl doesn't need that again.
Maybe it is better that they're separate, and that the shard lies with Raven. Of course, heaven-willing, Lisa is with Adriannu and the cathera still has her shard, but one magic death-drawing artifact is better than two. Maybe Raven could hunt them down soon-ish and spirit that one away also, just to make them both safe.
That's a dangerous game, though. She heard the girl say, with upmost honesty, that she'd kill anyone who tried to steal her shard. But maybe she'd make an exception.
That or she'd never have to know.
This issue is something to save for later, of course. Neo has a shard, and maybe his buddies at least know something about that or the others. This might be a good motley crew to hang around for a while.
So, "I think that ought to change, though."
"Awfully hard to grab objects with hands bound together, yunno!" Victi snarks at their client/captor, buying heself a couple seconds to figure out if it was time to reveal her bypass yet.
...nah, not yet.
"Anyway, it's a class 136 blood-magic artifact, which I realize probably isn't helpful info for you... right," she sighs. Classification systems were, sadly, useless with people who didn't know them. Huh, that was a goal: intuitive designation system!
"Okay, more usefully and without designation codes," she says, trying again, "it's a world-bound, passively dormant blood-magic artifact, specifically one of the Shards of the Bloodied Vase. More specifically.... air, I think. We haven't used it. Apparently not the most well-known legend, but you might have heard of it."
She swings her arms over to yoink it up and off of Drake's neck.
"Innocuous enough, even to magical senses and in spite of the electrum edging, but that changes once it activates. If you need a demonstration, that can be provided, I'm sure. Or you can try it yourself," Victi offers, holding it out toward their shiny host, "The people hunting it may have their own relics of this kind, just to let you know."
...nah, not yet.

Adriannu listened as Lisa explained how the magic the Magister used to teleport them hadn't be able to teleport Raven since she hadn't had a clear desire to escape from the danger. The child clearly wasn't happy about this, but at least seemed to be more accepting of it now. While the Cathera hadn't known Raven long, this lack of fear Lisa mentioned did seem to fit with the cat's personality.
Shortly after they finished this discussion, a floating line appeared in front of them, much to her Adriannu's surprised and subsequently led her to ask Lisa about it. In turn the Chimera tells her that she believes it means that they could leave before asking the child to come with her. "Ok." Adriannu agreed simply before starting for the door, before turning around and offering one last bow to the nurse, then quietly waited for Lisa to lead the way.

((Sorry I've been gone ))
"I mean Neo is the first person who actually accepted me as a demon and didnt run away in fear. So I think we are friends... even if his choices are... well different than mine." She chuckles. "I take it you two did not meet on great terms?" She tilts her head.

The dragoness listens in silence, her brow furrowing in confusion when Victi tries to explain it with a designation system she doesn't understand. A low, impatient growl rises from in her chest to urge the vixen to get on with it. And, probably not phased by the subtle threat, she does.
Drake begrudgingly lets Victi yoink the shard off of his neck, only to regret letting himself be bound when Victi offers the relic to Aurora. He draws a sharp breath; unless she has a solid plan of action, Aurora could decide the shard is hers now and drive out, or worse, execute them both.
She has a plan; of course, she has a plan. If Victi is anything, she's clever. Hell, even if she's running on absolutely no plan, someone like her has to be really, REALLY good at bluffing.
Aurora stares at the shard; its jagged edges and smooth shine drawing her hand to it. She halfway reaches over the table to take it, mystified by the alluring power Victi claims it can grant her.
Then, she draws back with a hiss. "Blood magic. Of course, it is blood magic."
She stands, shaking off the disturbance like a dog shaking off water, and circles around the table to stand in front of Victi. With one deft motion of her claws, she undoes the cuffs and they hit the ground with a soft thump at their feet.
"Before we continue, I ask that you show me your gold and your O-so-valuable magic. I saw the show you gifted my crew earlier, but that is nothing I can't-"
"Uh, hey," Drake shoots her a look and thrusts his arms forward, "You're not gonna release me, too?"
"As I understand it," she replies coldly, "you only need one pair of hands between the two of you right now."
"Okay, now that isn't-"
"Don't tempt me to make that arrangement permanent."
Drake's face flushes, his nostrils flaring, but he mutters something along the lines of "screw you too," which the dragoness pretends not to hear in favor of doing business with Victi.
