Location
[Arthe Hollow Inn, Common Room]
The room is filled with jovial conversation, laughter, much toasting and a layer of smoky haze. Guests of all races mingle at the long, low tables. A Halfling holding a very large mug of beer jumps in front of the stone fireplace, lets out a whoop and bursts into a spontaneous song. Daisy Burdock, the inn's waitress, maneuvers adeptly through the crowd carrying a tray of mugs and occasionally glancing out the window. A menu is posted at the archway next to a prominent sign.
You also see a smoke image of a surprised deer, an adorable jet black kitten, an open doorway, some wooden stairs, a polished wooden bar with several things on it and a wooden menuboard.
Obvious exits: out.
Performer
Dancer Vixonia Toryan, Speaker of the Tavern Troupe Performing Order, a Prydaen Bard
Vixonia has a triangular face, tufted ears, cat-slitted crystal blue eyes and a narrow nose. Her raven mane is long and wavy, and is worn in a tousled mass of locks that tumbles over her shoulders. She has silver fur accented by a cascade of delicate blue gold sharizas, a deceptively fragile-looking tail guard of mistglass mail sheathing a curving tail and a gracefully slender figure. She is a bit over average height for a Prydaen. She appears to be young.
She is wearing a fine platinum necklace etched with an elaborate triquetra pattern, a shimmering nightsilk blouse designed to be tied around the midriff, an elaborate multi-tier hip chain dangling delicate triquetra charms, a sinuous nightsilk skirt fitted to drape low on the hips and some cut silver toe bells with an intricate knotwork pattern.

Nilme lets out a hearty cheer for Vixonia!
Aetheline lets out a hearty cheer for Vixonia!
(Vixonia starts to dance around the room to the steady pulse, her shoulders and abdomen rotating sinuously. With a gentle roll of her wrists she raises her arms up and starts to clap out an intricate syncopated beat.)
Almarius lets out a hearty cheer for Vixonia!
Ruecolle takes a sip of her toddy.

Aetheline says, "My hero."
Tirost nods at Ruecolle, obviously agreeing with her views.
Vixonia smiles with a subtle challenge in her eyes as she ups the tempo, causing the drums that are following her to increase their pounding, pulsing beat as well. As the music swells, she sends the daggers into a particularly high arch for a moment.

Tirost quietly asks Ishimmer, "She's a gifted dancer, no?"
Almarius gawks at Vixonia.
Nilme beams at Vixonia!
(Vixonia gazes down at the polished blade, her reflection catching her eye for a moment before she draws it high over her head. Raising her other arm up, she carefully cradles the pommel in one hand while resting the tip of the blade in the open palm of her other hand.)
Iryta nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views.
Ishimmer says, "And scary with the blades."
Vixonia smiles impishly as she lowers the blade slowly until the inner curve of the blade is perfectly balanced on her head. Letting her hands drift away from the scimitar, she gazes steadily at you as her hips start to roll gently side-to-side, keeping her torso perfectly motionless.
Tirost laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.
Ishimmer lets out a hearty cheer for Vixonia!

Aetheline quietly says, "All these beautiful knives and yet no stabbing..."
(Vixonia lifts up on her toes as her movements start to increase in scale along with the pounding of the drum. She drifts around the room with a lilting step, always facing forward, keeping the balanced blade completely still.)
Aetheline sighs deeply, looking very depressed.
Elurora pats Aetheline on the back.
Ishimmer tilts his ears forward playfully.
Elurora quietly says to Aetheline, "I can take you to stab things after if you want."
Allye nods at Almarius, obviously agreeing with her views.
(Vixonia pauses in her graceful dance for a moment, then with a playful wink she pirouettes so quickly that the scimitar never has a chance to move before she's facing you once again. The swirling skirts and the gentle chime of her jewelry are the only signs of her movements.)
Aetheline beams at Elurora!
Allye grins at Almarius.
(Vixonia lets her shoulders and torso undulate gently keeping the blade motionless as it rests on her head, lowering to her knees in a pool of flowing skirts. The rhythm of the drums grows slower yet more intense. Raising her hands back up above her head, she cups each end of the scimitar in her open palms.)
The dark stripes upon Halari's fur fade away.
(Vixonia lifts the blade from her head and holds it out in front of her, she starts to arch backwards from where she kneels before you, nestling back until she is almost lying on the floor. Resting the inner curve of the scimitar on her abdomen this time, she balances it carefully before letting her arms fall gracefully to the side.)
Aetheline leans forward.
(Vixonia holds herself still, arched just a hair's width above the floor as she breathes deeply to match the quietly insistent tempo of the drum. She starts to undulate the muscles of her bare abdomen in a smooth wave causing the scimitar to rise and fall.)
Iryta gets some modwyn wine from atop a polished wooden bar.
Alshabi Kamisama's group just arrived.
Aetheline's jaw drops.
Aetheline beams at Shaylynne!
Aetheline pulls Shaylynne to her in a tight hug.
(Vixonia closes her eyes in concentration as she increases the rolling motion, each wave causing the balanced scimitar to leap slightly into the air. After a few rotations, a sharp exhalation shifts the continuous motion of her stomach causing the blade to do a complete flip before landing again with the blunt curved side down.)
Halari gazes at Vixonia.
Shaylynne hugs Aetheline, who wraps her arms around Shaylynne with a warm smile.
Ylixia shifts her weight.
Baelor takes a sip of his ale.
Tirost smiles irtya
(Vixonia opens her eyes again as a sudden crescendo of drumming rings through the air, sweeping the scimitar off of her abdomen and executing an acrobatic leap to her feet. As part of the flowing movement, she flicks the scimitar high into the air, sending it cascading end over end in an elegant arch above her head.)
Several Halfling men stride purposefully up to the fireplace. They deftly climb atop one another to form a tower of Halflings. The man at the top grabs a beer mug from the mantel and passes it down. They tumble off of each other and proudly walk back to their table.
Elurora chews on her lip, looking deep in concentration.

Iryta grins impishly at Baelor.
Kamisama gently rubs the surface of his liquor cabinet, a slight smile crossing his face.
Vixonia smiles with a twinkle in her eye as the pommel of the blade lands precisely in the palm of her outstretched hand. The rhythm of the drums continues to build around you, immersing you in the heady swell of the steady beat as she energetically spins and leaps with the curved blade.
Allye beams at Vixonia!
Aetheline gawks at Vixonia.
Ishimmer lets out a hearty cheer for Vixonia!
(Vixonia whirls like a dervish, growing ever faster as she matches the pulsating music. As the drums crash out a final triumphant beat that rings through the air, she finishes the dance in a striking pose, brandishing the weapon in an elegant flourish as the fabric of her skirts swirls around her.)

Shifting under the pressure of this onslaught,
He proudly told them of what I was taught."

"He told of my strengths, how I learned my skills,
And then of my failures when I lost my kills.
The Elders gazed at me with proud ears held high
'Now let this kit's teacher of the gods draw nigh!'"
Vixonia chants in a soprano voice:
"It's time to hunt! Off to the kill!
It's time to show them my strength and will.

But I will show I'm a kit no more!
With a roar, I join the hunters of my pride!"

In a natural state to face the beast that you've sworn.'"

With a roar, I join the hunters of my pride!"
(Tirost takes a sip of his brandy, entranced by the song of Vixonia.)

Of those left behind, not to travel with Vael.

Tenemlor's chosen, they fought against odds.
Against undead Lyras... her followers of death
They fought and they battled till their last breath."
Halari gazes at Vixonia.
Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:
"Stalwart and vigilant they each pledged a life
To end this true horror... this valiant five.
Each with a weapon that was Tenemlor blessed
They battled abomination until final rest.
Behind the barrier there was no reprieve
Champions of our goddess, t'was no time to grieve."

(Vixonia lets the final note ring through the air for a moment before shifting back to the original melody.)

"The Starborn, she glowed with a furious light
Always ready and willing to fight the good fight.
Claimed by the Moon Goddess, her knowledge was key
From her blood-red scythe, the enemy did flee.
Once protector of kits, her focus did shift
To battle the undead, her vengeance was swift."
Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:
"Slow-Rage was aloof, an emotionless soul
He fought with precision, never counting the toll.
T'was not for revenge or anger did he slay
It was simply because She had shown him the way.
When finally enraged, all restraint was let go...
His Bastard Sword was bathed in the gore of his foe."
(Vixonia's fingers dance across the strings as the mood shifts again, heralding the chorus.)

Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:
"Ghoul-blight's bright magic would conquer her foe
She studied dark powers, laid her enemies low
At one with the elements, her powers were strong
They swirled all around her as she fought along.
Her mace finely crafted from the leg of a ghoul
Added force to her fight, studded, wicked and cruel."
Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:
"Darkklaw was different, loved to slay, loved to kill
Death was her passion, so they focused her will.
"Stay behind, that's your mission" the Claw did then state,
For they feared she would kill kin if not left to that fate.
Ripped and shredded with glaes claws, she reveled in war
Hand to hand was her way, to the Goddess she swore."
(Vixonia pauses for a moment as she once again moves into the chorus. Head tilted slightly to the side, she captures your gaze as she sings strongly.)
Elurora furrows her brow.
Sonatina's soprano and Stelling's baritone join with Vixonia's soprano as she sings:
"These Five left behind... these five bathed in strife
These Five bravely fought, though it cost them their life
Starborn and Slow-Rage, Ghoul-Blight, then Darkklaw
Death-Walker... they fought all undead they saw."
Halari scratches one ear, looking bemused.
Tirost takes a sip of his brandy.
Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:
"Finally Death-Walker chose his path, chose to stay.
His sole purpose in life was the undead to slay.
He swung his war hammer, double headed and spiked
His kin feared him, he cared not, didn't wish to be liked.
Many tried to kill him, tried and failed... he survived
When death should have claimed him, he was still alive."
Almarius smiles at Vixonia, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Iryta takes a sip of her wine.
(Vixonia looks thoughtfully for a moment as her voice softens and the tone of the song grows more stirring. The melody seems to flow around you and infuse you with energy for the last verse.)
Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:
"These Five bravely battled, gave their lives, gave their all
These Five fought and fought till the Barrier did fall.
Gave us time to escape, travel East and rebuild.
Now it's our turn to fight, just as Tenemlor willed.
Grab your weapons my kin, find your courage, dig deep
True to Their honor and our faith we must keep."
