Restful

Yulia looked over Goma, Isalia and Cherchiel who were all exhausted and lying on the sand, she glances around after, "I don't know how safe it is to rest here, but I guess we don't have much of a choice. It's probably unlikely the Kraken will come back here immediately, right?" she questions.

There's no answer from the others. It seems they'd all slowly slipped out of consciousness. Yulia sighed and sat down on the sand, deciding to stand guard for the time being as they rested.

She watched the waves lap at the shore for a bit and then watched the storm crashing over the distant island before sighing and deciding to get to work. The voices seemed eager to get more use out of identify and nothing seemed to be happening so she could probably afford to let her guard down a bit to work on identifying things.

She started with the swimsuits. This revealed no special properties or anything really interesting. All of the clothes were apparently made by someone named Clisa, but otherwise there's nothing special about them.

Isalia's black leather armor reveals something a little more interesting.

There's an enchantment on it, while worn in darkness it renders the wielder invisible. It's a very weak enchantment though. Any light at all prevents it from taking effect.

Goma's dagger reveals something even more interesting.

"Ritual Knife of Escaping Threads. A dagger inscribed with a rune of escape. Is especially effective against webs, tentacles, ropes and anything else that is designed to bind or tie people. Does not help once already bound to a degree to which use of the knife is impossible," the identify spell returns upon being cast on the dagger. It also mentions again that the dagger was made by someone, but the name means nothing to Yulia and neither does the inscriber of the rune.

After that Yulia casts it on the shells.

"Valueless shells, quite pretty, but otherwise useless," there is no further information. Yulia sighs and begins to cast identify on her party members, part of her wondering if this is invasive.

"Cherchiel, Angel, age 24, a former lower angel of the Tower Above, in service to the One True God. Served as a challenger to test the Chosen on the Path of Purity. Was defeated and enslaved by Yulia Maestra and now serves as lover and bodyguard for Yulia Maestra," the identify spell returns along with her current stat screen (the same one shown to the voices," Yulia looks annoyed.

"I don't like that wording... I didn't enslave her..." she grumbles and then turns to Isalia and casts Identify again.

"Isalia Trapfeller, Dark Elf, age 73, A Dark Elf from the Depths, captured and tortured by The Knocker she by necessity became an expert on spotting, avoiding and disarming traps and eventually escaped, becoming the Depths de facto trap clearer until The Knocker's **** rendered her main ability no longer necessary. She decided to join Yulia Maestra on her quest instead and has now become lovers with the Goblin, Goma," the identify returns along with her own stats.

"Trapfeller... I doubt that was her actual last name, probably more an epithet given to her for her role, still interesting to learn. Also interesting to learn that the Identify spell apparently considers it important to keep track of relationships..." Yulia notes idly before moving on to Goma.

"Goma Gribsdatyr, Goblin, age 20, A goblin trained in alchemy. Often curious and adventurous. Explored various parts of the Tower. One such exploration almost resulted in her **** when she wandered to the lowest floors, but she was mercifully rescued by Yulia Maestra and later joined her as an alchemist and battle companion when the two were reunited at Goma's home floor," the spell returns.

"Ha good old Goma... Glad I saved her," Yulia states.

Yulia tries to cast Identify on herself and it seems to work. What it pulls up for the most part, however is the basic stat screen for her the voices always see, Yulia however is less than happy to see all her fetishes on display and the sheer number of negative conditions she has accrued.

"Not ideal... But I guess considering all that, I'm doing better than I'd expect to be," she mutters. Aside from the basic stat screen it does bring up a bit more information.

"Yulia Maestra, Undead, age 19, A church healer once loyal to the goddess Erimalia. Her faith in her god has been destroyed, entered the tower to find a cure for the plague that ravished her world and killed her," the info reads and Yulia stares at it. Her thoughts regarding the stat sheet pushed aside immediately as she reads this bio sheet.

"I... I'm not undead? I'm alive! I never even had the plague!" she argues, her voice rising as she speaks, "this... this doesn't know what it's talking about! I can't be dead or undead! My heart beats! I need to eat! I need to sleep, to drink! I feel things!" she starts yelling clearly starting to panic. "P... Poison! If I was undead that wouldn't effect me right?" she yells, clearly now addressing the voices, **** for affirmation from someone, but regardless something seems to suddenly click and she freezes for a moment before clutching her head, "I... I was born... Sickly, but..." she hesitates, "I was taken in by the church right after I was born and I was told my parents were dead, but not how they died," she places a hand to her forehead, "Oh goddess... Was I born plagued? Was my mother sick with the plague when I was born did I..." she swallows, "was I born dead, but... then how am I alive, here right now?" she wonders and then lowers her head.

"I remember... Complaining once to the priest who raised me about my illness. He said that the illness was in a sense proof that Erimalia loved me, that I was chosen. I never understood that, but... Is that it? Was that what he meant... This illness in my body is the result of being born plagued and what... Erimalia chose to resurrect me when I died as a baby? Why?!" she asks, no one in particular. She's clearly shocked and uncertain about what she's potentially discovered and then she begins to breathe in and out slowly.

"It... It doesn't matter. Even if I am some... undead creature, killed at birth and revived by a goddess for some purpose... It doesn't change anything... Right? My only goal is to save my world and I can do that whether I'm undead or not," she decides, though she doesn't sound entirely convinced.

She spends the rest of the time just waiting trying to watch the water and not think about it.

Eventually the others wake back up, feeling refreshed and Yulia decides not to mention anything she learned about herself, but does tell them what she learned about Goma's Dagger and the Dress, she then asks Cherchiel about the concept of binding angels and demons.

"Well... Binding is a rare concept. Not something I've heard of happening often, but it's sort of similar to what you did with me... Taking off my visor bound me to you, but also stripped me of my power and protection... Normally binding only does the first part. With the ability to bind an angel or demon, you can **** them to serve you without them losing any of their power. Obviously, I am against binding any angels, but... If we could manage to bind a demon or even an Archdemon that would be very powerful," Cherchiel admits and then thinks, "Dahlia is a demon now... I wonder if she could be bound with her own ring," she suggests and then waves a hand dismissively, "we would have to be able to **** the ring onto the demon in question in order to bind them, which with the ward would also hurt like hell..." she adds and then freezes, "Oh wow yeah... The ring would end up permanently attached to the bound person and the ward wouldn't stop effecting them. That is actually really torturous... Levateinn has some serious issues if she intended that effect," Cherchiel decides.

Yulia listens, though she seems a bit half hearted, clearly still thinking a bit about her own revelation.

"Well anyway, unless we run into more demons soon, not much reason to worry about the ring for the moment, we're all rested up so we should move on, any ideas?" Isalia suggests.
