Tik Tik tries to speak up to respond, but Adaeze pushes Tik Tik down into the dirt and rolls off of her enchanted mistress, grabbing from her discarded gear her sap. She sneers as she stands there, an undressed warrior surrounded by others of her kind. “Sorry, ladies," Adaeze says, squeezing her weapon tightly, “But there's no way I'm letting you take my pink sweetie!"

The surrounding sisters take a step forward, but the elf raises her hand, narrowing her eyes as she looks toward the gnoll. “You are a strange sight," the elf says. “But if it is a fight you want, then I will not fault you for wanting to protect the one that you love. However you will not win this day." She nods over towards the twins. “Luza, Liza." Go ahead and show this trespasser what it means to be a member of our lover's family."

Luza and Liza step up from behind the elf, their hands unlacing as they step apart in unison, walking around her. “Whatever you say, Valana," they both say in unison, staring down the gnoll as they stand on either side of the gnoll.

Adaeze snickers as she takes a couple steps aside. The other women are making a circle around them, giving her a little arena. Certainly, there are the traps she had placed down earlier that she could use to her advantage, but she has no idea what to expect from these two girls. “Alright, then. Sorry I'm going to have to mess up their pretty faces. But they won't be symmetrical once I'm done!" With that, she yells, charging forward, leaping up just before the hidden trap before she swings her sap down toward the one.

The girl does not move, but instead, her other spins towards the gnoll's side, thrusting a palm forward into it. The force of the thrust knocks her off-balance, sending her sap flying down past the other woman's shoulder, swishing her hair in the wind.

Without even taking the hair out of her eyes, the stationary girl lifts her knee into the gnoll's crotch, sending shooting pains up through her. She then follows up with an uppercut to the jaw, which sends her stumbling back , where the other twin thrusts her heel at the back of her knee, knocking her down to the floor.

Standing over her, the two do not continue, but keep their eyes fixated squarely upon her as she catches her breath and remains on the ground for now.

“As you can see," Valana says," we are quite serious when it comes to protecting the sanctity of our lover's home. You fight for a selfish cause, and that is why you will lose here."

“Selfish?" Adaeze says, chuckling. “Honey, I'm fighting for my lovely, just like you are!" she says. With that, she drops her sap and wraps her arms around the waist of one of the girls, throwing her back toward her sister with a mighty hurl. The two collapse in a pile right into the soft earth, the net that Adaeze and Tik Tik had placed hoisting the two high into the air.

Adaeze falls back onto the ground, still sore from her fight with the twins, panting. “Haha… see, we're pretty even, now… don't you think?"

But Luza and Liza, without even looking at each other, work in tandem to help each other climb up the net, four hands working together to pull up two bodies to reach the knot

The feline among the sisters glances up at the endangered duo, bends her knees, and then propels herself up into the air, swiping the knot and dropping her and her companions back upon the ground.

“Thank you very much for your aid, Kera," Valana says. “I think our gnoll friend here has proven herself quite tactical. There's no reason to continue this test."

The lizard steps up, hissing. “She has no respect for us at all. You treat our bond like a game while you use these traps to vex us. You're a troublemaker, and too much of a nuisance to keep around."

“That remains to be seen, Slusk." The Valana says, keeping her hand out to stop her while she continues to watch Adaeze. “After all, it will be our lover who determines if she is worthy or not, and she does indeed show promise."

Slusk growls at this, but keeps herself back. “I'll keep my eye on you," she says, flexing her sharp claws as she says this.

“Sister…" Adaeze says, pushing herself up to her knees. “I'm not in the business of killing people. And I certainly am not going to kill anyone here who might try to interrupt me and my honey during our… honeymoon. I like to protect people. I have a feeling you and me aren't so different. Guardians of sorts, you know? I thought you were a bunch of javelin-throwing druid wannabees, but you're obviously skilled and organized. Tell ya what…" she says, heading over back towards the log. “I think I know a way we can make this mutually beneficial for all of us here." She then bends over and picks Tik Tik up.

The sisters each take to Tik Tik with a different response. Valana's indifference is matched by Kera's surprise. While the gnome frowns in a pout larger than she is short and Liza and Luza look with minor interest. Slusk, meanwhile, keeps her gaze focused squarely upon Adaeze, waiting for her to show her true colors.

Tik Tik snarls and kicks, struggling in Adaeze's hold. But she says nothing. Acknowledging that Adaeze is going against her command would surely break that all-important spell, if it hadn't broken already.

Valana steps up towards Adaeze. Tik Tik's eyes bulge as she makes her way towards the trap, but the elf deftly steps around it without even looking to stand face-to-face with the imposing taller woman.

“And is this the lover?" She asks, the head of the spear running along Tik Tik's horn.

Luza and Liza stand on either side of Adaeze, holding out their hands. “Give up all your possessions" Valana commands.

Tik Tik whimpers as her belts and her book are picked up by the gnome, but she glances up to Adaeze, who quickly winks as twins take her weapon. Tik Tik returns to her sour demeanor as the gnome flips through the book. “Careful!" Tik Tik growls. “Not know true magic!"

“Our lover is the only true magic," the gnome speaks in reverent tones. Tik Tik squints, unable to tell what passages the gnome is looking at, but if she found the page on the Lily Nymph, there's no telling if they'd figure out her and Adaeze's plans.

“That's enough, Gimmegee. You can read that later," Valana says, striking the earth once more. “Let's not tarry here. The night does not belong to our lover. I dare not wish to strike her ire."

With rope crafted from strong vine, the gnoll and the kobold are both bound, their hands drawn behind them and their snouts wrapped shut. But they are allowed to see the path they take, and hear the nighttime sounds. But what good would that do for someone not well-versed in the ways of the forest?

Tik Tik sighs, but keeps an eye on each of their captors. She gets a much better opportunity when they come upon a cave.

Valana lights the interior with a flick of her wrist, bathing the cave in a soft glow. No longer swathed in shadows, her tall, elegant body is surely the ideal of the feminine form to human eyes, and not far off from the sensual images that Tik Tik had seen in her tome Since elves are long-lived, it may even be possible that she might be a model for some of those arts. Her long green hair goes down to her back, and despite the mud and brush that dots it, she makes it look like natural jewelry more than the tangle of dirt that her companions wear.

The captives stumble into the cave, sitting down in the bright light, forced to adjust as their captors sit around and chat amongst themselves about setting up shifts. The loudest of the bunch is the little gnome, who keeps the book in her lap as she sits upon the ground. Her large eyes are filled with wonder as she scours through each page, and Tik Tik might even be friendly with the purple-haired creature, if she didn't flip through the papers with such wanton disregard to its age or importance.
