To save someone.

The first thing that enters the room a good half hour later is a voice, “You are the girl they call Ashtart?”

It seems odd to hear that as your name, but as it is now that, you answer, “That is me, how do you know of me?”

A man of regal baring with dark eyes, graying short hair, and a thin beard and mustache steps into view. He is dressed in simple but well tailored blue shirt, brown pants, and black shoes. “I am Norvarat of the house Doramar. I was told your name and likeness from a seer. She says you were spawned in the depths of the abyss, escaping your fate there to come here to help me. I was told exactly where and when to find you, so I am sure it is all true. My daughter was taken from me by an evil warlock. All I ask of you is her safe return. If can bring her back to me I will pay you anything you desire.”

Looking into his eyes, without really thinking you simply answer, “I will do whatever it takes. Where do I start?”

“Excellent. Come, I will take you to the portal.”

“Portal?”

“Yes my seer has been able to determine her location, he has even been create a portal to there, but the it seems the portal bars entry to all but a demon spawn. You are the only demon spawn he was able to find with his divination that he knew would help. The seer promises me that she is being kept alive till the full moon when a horrible ritual will be performed on her. That gives you only till tomorrow to save her.”

“Where is this place? How do you know I will survive, I am told I am more human than demon.”

“If the seer says you can enter, you can. Time is of the essence, you must go at once.” He leads you out of the room and down the great hall.

“Looking down you can't help but ask, “Can you give me some things to help me with my task. I wasn't exactly finished shopping.”

“Anything, what is it you require?”

You don't want to be all that demanding, but it is his daughter after all. “Some kind of light melee weapon, and a pair of comfy shoes. If that isn't to much to ask for that is?”

“I do not have much in the realm of magic items but I can give you something. Come with me.” He leads you through his palace to a very ornate bedroom. “You are very close to her size, something in here should work for your clothes. Pick out what you need. She was given a sword once that she never really liked, it is, well I'll have to show you.” He then leaves you alone in her bedroom. You look over her shoes, but most of them look very hard to move in, and don't cover much. She clearly doesn't want to look taller as all of them have at least a 4” heel. Finally you settle on a pair of shoes that fit pretty good, and are easy to move in, despite their look. A pair of black leather ankle boots that lace up the inner side with a cute peep toe opening. They do have 5” chunky heels, but with a 2” platform under the toe, it makes them surprisingly easy to move in. Looking at yourself in the mirror you decide they look pretty cute with your outfit. He returns moments later and hands you an ornate sword. The entire thing is shiny bronze roughly two and a half feet long. The handle is a standing naked woman with her hands to her sides at rest, made of carved ivory to seem to be standing on the pommel, that is a large ruby within a sphere. The scabbard has a thin light matching bronze chain with a hidden style clasp, and the scabbard itself is brass covered in white silk with a pattern stitched down the length that seems oddly provocative, not people exactly but looking at it you can almost see people having sex. He seems to notice you staring at the design. “Yes a bit unnerving isn't it. The man that gave this to her was a worshiper of the goddess of vice. He insists that it is a powerful sword, and from what my seer says it is true, but all we can tell is it enhances your ability to fight, and is very sharp. If it has any other powers you will have to use it to determine them I suppose.” He watches as you clip on the thin belt just over your holster belt before speaking, “Come, to the portal.”

He leads down several flights of stone stairs, and long halls till you reach what is obviously the portal. A ring of symbols holds a shimmering field of black energy. “Walk through. It will not harm you.” A man you didn't see as you walked in states. “The portal is locked onto his daughter, you will arrive within 20' of her, but there could be anything between you and her.” He hands you an ornate golden necklace, “Place this around her neck and my magic will summon her back to us. Then simply jump back through the portal.”
