Kuldarian Iced Tea

by Jaya Locke

The group dispersed.
Jaya went towards the man who had the Remedy. Garruk followed off to the side. Silas and Brin looked around.
Jaya asked the man with the remedy to dance, but he was able to get the attention of Mrs. Trollio to assist him. During a partner switch, Garruk was able to swipe the remedy before the goon could pass it along to Mrs. Trollio.
Silas spoke with Jack. Jack made it obvious that he knows who the group is and that they are trying to meddle in his plans. Jack is just about to stab Silas when the Queen announces the start of the Queen’s game.
The Queen’s Game: Each person is either a Jack, Queen or King. A Jack beats a Queen. A Queen beats a King. A King beats a Jack. You can challenge someone who is the same or less than who you are (ex: Queen can challenge a King or Queen) If you challenge someone who can beat you, then you must give them a card. If you challenge someone who is the same as you, you play Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Mr. Dandy took Brin to the side and told him that Pia sent him and the weapons and such that they were not able to keep with them were hidden by a statue in the ballroom, just in case.
The party won the Queen’s Game and won the chance to have dinner with the Queen. They invited Mr. Dandy to join them. There, they got to see just how insane and paranoid the Queen had become. They mentioned a tea that was too strong for Victoria to drink, so the competitive nature had the Queen wanting to try it. A person came in wanting her to sign the declaration of war, but the group was able to convince her it was unlucky to do so without finishing the tea. She mentioned the tea not being warm, so they mentioned it is served the Kuldarian way, Iced Tea. It took a lot of finagling, but she finally drank the tea. She passed out and a weird black creature (daemon maybe?) crawled out of her mouth and shriveled up on the table.
Then the party was attacked by her Harlequin Rose guards who were working with Jack. Once they were dealt with, Mr. Dandy said he would stay with the Queen so that the party could deal with whatever was happening in the ballroom.
When the party got into the ballroom, various Harlequin Rose Anarchists were spread throughout the ballroom, many dancing with nobles. They all were looking towards Jack who had a woman by the neck dangling over the 15 ft drop onto the dance floor. He saw the party come in and said “Ah, you’re just in time” and then sliced the woman’s throat and let her drop. Immediately followed by each Anarchist slicing the throat or stabbing the noble they were with. This included Mrs. Trollio stabbing Mr. Trollio and Geneva stabbing the Florist.
Jack pulled out a sword and it radiated a magik to it. He placed it to the ground and it traced the room with a light and went up the swords of the statues by the door, sealing everyone inside.
The party gathered at the statue where their weapons were stashed and prepared to fight.

The major events and journals in Jaya's history, from the beginning to today.

Badge with Azazel's Merit

10:37 am - 06.05.2023

After the night of, likely much needed, fun and celebration. The party heads upstairs to their rooms. Upon rounding the corner leading to the hallway, there is an open window. Their attention drawn to it when they hear a HOOT HOOT. The look and see and owl sitting on the sill. It is looking at them with unblinking eyes. It looks around, checking the hallway for others. There is no one but them. Then the owl bursts into a large plume of feathers that obstructs the window for a long moment. When the feathers recede, there on the window sitting like they saw before, the Owl Witch. No tea this time, she leans against the wall on one side lazily. Her hood still preventing her face from being fully revealed. Owl Witch: "It seems that you have been doing well since our encounter in the Wicker Woods. Many triumphs you have had. Impressed I am. Knew I chose well, I did. The time for you to face that which banes us both is nearing. No doubt you have met the Wicker Hag's Witch, the one they call Jack. I have come to tell you that which I seek from our deal. Jack's sword. Its handle is made of a substance that I desire, imbued with the power of the Wicker Hag it is. Get this from him and bring it to the edge of the nearby Woods the following night. I shall come to retrieve it. A simple matter of this for that. Do this and you shall have completed your end of the deal and be released from the spell that binds us." (The party is free to interact with her if they want, in between her leaving) When she is done, she almost melts away into feathers and gently blows out the window, the feathers like a flock of birds departing through the night sky

03:04 am - 04.04.2023

(A few nights after defeating Lorcan) Jaya sleeps heavily, exhausted still from the events a few nights ago. She dreams, seeing Lorcan and relives the moments of being tossed around so easily. She has been knocked around before but this was different. The difference in their raw power.. until she for the second time, this time reaching even further into her heritage, unleashing the dormant abilities within and allowing herself to tap into the strength of the Vampires. She relives the flashing of her Obsidian sword that took his arm, then his life. Her dream self standing in a pool of blood, smiling, relishing in the brutality. The background fading away until it is just her and the pool of blood in a spotlight circle. Talking to herself, lamenting. 'if only I had been able to make him suffer more..' she strokes her face leaving streaks of blood in the wake of her fingers. 'more, MORE. Next time I'll peel them slowly.' The scene fades and in the darkness a familiar voice speaks out. "Good.. Good.. Well done my precious. Dig deeper into your power.. As I told you before.. you know what you can do.. do not fear it.. let it in.. let it consume you.. only then shall you be free.. and when you do.. I shall finally come for you.. what a joyous day it shall be.. soon..." then the dark fades into a new image. A mountain of bodies piled up, a disfigured, mutilated, flayed. Some still alive, screaming, crying, begging. It starts at the bottom then works it's way to the top, revealing Jaya at the top, sitting on a throne of thorns with a pleased look on her face and behind it, a large dark shadow in the oversized shape of a person with a large cape, it's jagged ends fluttering with wisps of darkness. No distinguishable features on the face except blood red eyes and a wicked, fanged smile. Then a hand comes out of the dark and places itself on her shoulder and an overlapping laughter of Jaya and Kragen sounds out as the scene fades away until she wakes up in a cold sweat.
