Ceth thought the situation promising.  Here she was, surrounded by people
who had no idea of what she was.  She had gone searching for adventure,
and adventure had found her.  Well, the adventure needed a bit of
coersion and didn't seem happy about the whole thing, but it was a LOT
better than the orcs.....

Ceth came to herself with a start, "Are the orcs gone?" she asked with a
trace of urgency in her voice.

Upon seeing the blank look on the Mila's face, Ceth relaxed again, partially.
"you know, short, orangish critters about so high?" Ceth gestured about 4
feet off the ground, wincing as abused muscles resented the motion.

Taking the startled silence to mean yes, Ceth relaxed completely,
arranging the blankets around herself more comfortably and settled in
with the drink.

"I'm a half elf; half dark elf, actually," feeling the incomprehension in
the room, Ceth continued.  "Dark elves are evil--they spy on people, and
are great assassins," unaware of the sudden tension in the room, Ceth
blithely continued, "my mother was raped by a dark elf, so I guess I'm a
child of evil," she happily concluded.

"Oh," she said as an afterthought, "My name is Ceth, I'm sorry, but I
didn't catch your name..?" Ceth reached out to shake hands.

>NRPG: I'm not quite caught up in the situation at Kelarra to know
whether they are going to treat Ceth as a harmless lunatic, or simply
toss her back into the lake =)


oh, I'm in San Diego, CA, USA, for the biography.
