Metra

Recently a new face has appeared in Sierra Na . She walked up on the adeventurers in search of Sanders , for whom she had a message.
She taled to the adventurers and asked many questions of them . Personal ones .Some were more forthcoming then others and she in turn answered their questions as well .When asked what she was she mimicked the words one said and laughed that she was a silly human .Some answers were vague . One she would not or could not answer was "who sent her " and "what God sent her"
One adventurer asked "what are you afraid of Metra " .She answered that she was afraid of being and not being . Of death and life . ( and a list like that )
Someone guessed "so your afraid of the imbalance in things ?" Her answer was "oh very good and she nodded "
She then went off to deliver the message she had for Sanser.
So who is she ? She appears to be human ? Who sent her ? Why all the questions ? She said something was coming .. what ??

As Melocia and Illthara sat by the campfire Meta joined them and started to ask questions like she did before. Soon Marie showed up and sat off in the distance watching mel and the others. Caland soon showed up and started participating in the discussion amit in elven as he cannot speak common

Meta asked very personal questions while listening for something unknown. Melocia got a bit suspicious when Metra asked about giving all to save a child. About that time hill giants starting coming into the vales and attacking alistra and jack. Several members around tha campfire fought them off. Then cats came, big ones dire tigers and others again the adventurers fought them off.

Finally Fire giants came though they devistate adventurers at first everyone there almost died but they fought valiently caland using his fists. Melocia turned into a troll and fought, Illthara used her bow with great persision, and marie used her magic in its best form to put them down with the help of alistra.

They had a few moments of rest when A fire giant king came. He said that there was trouble in the north. He said that he was moving his people south to escape from the trouble then he moved north and all the giants started moving north. Adventurers quickly deduced that he had his directions wrong and was moving his people to the north.


As adventurers took a short breather a Sick and pregnant dire tiger stumbles into camp. At first Melocias earth elemental attacks it but seeing that it is harmless she quick unsummoned the elemental. Melocia talked to the tiger and tried to bring it to the druid in the village but the tiger knew it was too late. It told her to take the cubs out of its belly and then the tiger expired. Illthara and Melocia cut the womb open and ithara pulled 5 cubs out of it. Caland flew like the wind and found the dryad who came and said that each tiger cub was very special and that they were in good health. She also told the adventurers alittle about their personalities. Murin had showed up by that time and helped a bit. Each of the adventurers took a cub to raise

Illthara took a girl cub that the dryad said appriciated fine things. Illthara named the cub Amura

Marie took a male cub that the dryad said was a playful one. Marie named the cub Nighteyes

Melocia took a girl cub with a limp that the dryad said was intelligent. She cast serveral divination spells and declared the cub's name was Windsong

Caland took a male cub that the dryad refered to as proud.
Caland has not named the cub as yet

Murin took a female cub that the dryad said would be a strong fighter. Murin has not named the cub as of yet.


Metra met a group in the vales and again asked about fears and also about their hearts desires .. theo was the only one not to answer either question ..
mel said her biggest fear is beiong trapped ..
caland said his was bing alone ..
nathan said losing the memories of his family
ellidy said she had many fears
theo didnt answer

when asked there hearts desires
mel said to become a planes walker and then said but that could change
caland said to find his purpose ( said to metra in private)
nathan to have a family
ellidy said to take her cat and tiger and go to her home world
theo didnt answer

when metra said each could ask one question
nathan asked what is your purpose .. her reply . to make friends ..
mel asked does someone else wish you to make friends .. her answer was no
caland asked if she were hungry .. her reply .. im fine thanks
ellidy asked ( i lost this somewhere in my notes .. )

theo asked who was restricting her .. all she got out was .. he ..
suddenly she was stricken as if frozen and fell to the ground ..
mel tried to dispel what ever was on her using the spell .. mordicanien disjunction ( spelling ) suddenly she was gone
the adventurers found out that she is a magical being ( some of them know some dont ) and that there is something evil attached to her in some way ..
mel then tried to scry for the evil and she was struck down in same way as metra .. she is currently under the spell ..
the adventurers all felt the evil .. it made them sick .. they could feel somethng watching them each in turn ..
metra told theo and cal to think of something else quickly and as they did the feeling abated .. however they could hear metra scream in their minds ..


Ellidy asked Metra if she'd be really, truly, and with no ironic consequences, friends. Matra replied ambiguously, not saying yes or no.
