Pathfinder: The Vampires Revenge

Help from an Elf

The kitsune led us to an abandoned building near were I fought the wereshark and told us to wait while she went to go get someone who she thinks might help, if what we say about saving the world is true. That was 10 minutes ago.

I began to pace across the room, hands behind my back. Normally I can be very patient, (though not as Rattle and Venom) however I hardly have any tonight. Bukka read a scroll he had, and the twins simply sat there, waiting patiently for the kitsunes return. Finally, I had enough and was about to suggest we go out and begin looking, when I heard the door open. I turned around and saw the kitsune enter, with a brass skinned elf with blue eyes and dark brown hair walking in behind her. I also found her dress to be.....interesting, considering how somewhat revealing she was with her low v-cut top and thigh high slits. Though at lest she was wearing something, considering what I saw some hours before.

"So Tamora." The elf said looking at us, though I had a feeling she was literally looking over me. As tall as she was I couldn't blame her, I had plenty of elves over look me. "This is the group that hired you?"

"And that's going to save the world." She said. The elf looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "I find it hard to believe such a tale from coming from the mouth of a snake and a tengu." The elf said looking back and forth at them.

I coughed, to get the elf's attention and so Rattle and Venom wouldn't say anything. The elf looked down with a surprised look, probably now noticing me. "What about a half-dragon?" I asked. She looked down at me with curiosity in her eyes, and she took a step forward. I felt her eyes wonder over me, and I was unable to decide if it was either good or bad.

"A kobold." She whispered. She got on a knee and before I could retract, she grabbed my hand with astounding speed. I tried to pull it back but she had an iron grip. She traced her fingertips over my scales and her hands felt soft and warm to the touch. I felt my heart pick up speed.

"I've always wanted to see one of your kind. I find them quite interesting." She pulled out a lose scale and looked at it in her hand. "I've heard stories about some kobolds having gold and silver scales, which are quite rare for them, but I've never heard of a brass kobold." She looked up and we gazed into each other's eyes. She looked pretty at a distance, but up close she was beautiful. My right ear frill began to flick, another habit I developed when I am embarrassed. Why am I embarrassed? I've been around beautiful females before, but I never felt anything like this. She looked at my ear and smiled, then looked back at me.

"So you are chasing after a vampire if I am correct?" She asked.

"Yes." I said in a weak voice. I realized how my voice sounded and swallowed. "Yes." I said in my regular voice. "We've been chasing him for weeks now, and he has gathered magical artifacts in his conquest to destroy all life on Golarion. We also believe that he has hired your thieves guild in order to help find another artifact he has his eyes on." She put a hand on her chin and though for a moment before nodding.

"It would explain much." She said. "Our.....boss.. never would tell me who the employer was when I asked."

"And if you noticed." She quickly added, looking Tamora. "His eye color changed." The kitsune thought for a few seconds before her eyes widened. "They were orange a week ago." She said. "Now their-"

"Red." The elf finished. After hearing that, a theory popped into my mind. "He could be enslaved." I said, looking at Rattle. He nodded. "It is very possible." He said. "Would your boss team up with a vampire?"

The elf and kitsune shock thier heads. "Lets just say he doesn't work well with others."

"So its highly possible that he is enslaved." I said. "Question is now, are you going to help us?"

"Yes, of course." She said as if it was obvious. "I will gladly help you search for the artifact."

"And just how is it you plan to help find the artifact?" Rattle quickly asked. "Were you not already looking for it for your guild?"

I looked at the elf and saw the kitsune at her side glance at her, as if she was standing next to a troll, or some giant dangerous monster. She simply raised an eyebrow and placed a hand on her hip. "No, I was not." She said plainly without any hint of anger. "I let the thieves deal with the searching. I just identify any magical items that they bring for.....my boss." I could help but notice that she would pause before mentioning her boss, it was as if she wanted to say more, but didn't want to.

"And to answer on how I will help find it." She brought​ up her right hand and began to twist a silver ring on her other hand. "I will be able to....sense the helm once I am near it." I noticed Tamora looked at the ring as well, and I could see sadness in her eyes, though she showed no hint of it on her face. Does she know something about the ring? I thought. What are they hiding?

"As much as Bukka likes to talk." The tengu said, finally speaking. "Perhaps we should begin our search." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Bukka will go to the docks and check again." A light green light appeared underneath his robe and he teleported away. "And we will check the underground caverns underneath the city again, I feel as though we missed something." Rattle said. They discovered the caverns a day ago and have been intrigued by what it may hold. He and Venom stood to the side and Rattle gave me a look that said 'your going to'. I took a step forward and immediately felt a hand grab mine.

"If you don't mind." She asked. "Perhaps you could explain how this......situation started, in further detail." I felt my heartbeat go faster and my ear-frill flick again. Why am I felling this way? I looked to Rattle and nodded.

"If you need some one to go with you I can." Tamora said cheerfully. Venom looked to his brother and quickly did the arcane gestures and teleported away. "Take that as a no." She muttered.
