Description
Shazeer'a, mercenary of the Black Widows, checked again the prisoners.
When the Black Widow Mercenary company get the contract by the Guild of Weavers of Negeémiliel, to try to catch the figure which ascended to popular myth of the Fake Priestess, many didn't believed they will be able to caught her. As well, most of the forces where occupied with the campaigns of Negeémiliel, so it was enroled for this quest some of the newer -but promising- recruits of the Black Widow.
The rumors about the Fake Priestess where thousands, but it was clear she was a magic user, was charismatic and a efficent hand-to-hand fighter, having defeated a platoon of mercenaries of the Light Blue Ribbon band. The Black Widows laughed at the Light Blue Ribbons, but this wanted criminal was to be taken seriously.
That's why, after such long and extensive tracking, and all the problems the impostor gave to her, Shazeer'a was surprised how much easier than thought was to defeat her!
"Please! You are doing a mistake!" begged the tall drow woman, who have been stripped of the priestess uniform she wrongly used, and who tied to one of the beams of the mine along with her minion, a small mountain elf warrior.
"No mistake here, Fake Priestess" the Mercenary of the Black Widows said.
"You-you don't understand! I'm actually an agent! An agent of an important Negeémi power!!"
"They all say so. But that's beside the point. So it's no mistake. The boss is paying for you" said Shazeer'a, before putting a rag in the drow's mouth, and then gagging her with one of the acolytal leggings of her fake priestess costume. Being a magic user, even with some seals, it was better to not let her talk.
Done for of the character Shazeer'a the drow Sworddancer, along with the Fake Priestess, the rogue drow adventurer of Maylara Maltree, and her friend, the mountain elf warrior Neroe.
This isn't really part of the continuity. And if ever it is -or could be-, it should be after Maylara's story.

Ok, for the record, I abso-frigging-lutely love this! One thing about Shazeer'ah, she has a soft spot for those like her and May. I could see her buying May or even requesting her services, only to try and get her out of the city and to freedom. A regular slave that accepts her place would only get scorn from Shazeer'ah. She favors the rebels.
If this were to become cannon, we would need to talk about it. Actually, I really think that we need to talk about where this is going as it is. I am already having horrible visions of me stepping on someone's toes as it seems there are several stories in progress here, and I feel that we all need to get on the same page so that no one gets screwed over.
For now, though, I am taking a break from Shazeer'ah until we find out how the Maylara story concludes, seeing as how my girl is coming in at the end of that mess.

Glad you liked it!
But what I was thinking for the situation is that, Gaveo -part of the Guild of Weavers. Well, her cover-woman, at least- contracted the mercenaries of the Black Widow -where Shazeer'ah is serving- to hunt down, not some escaped slaves, but a dangerous magic user, who attacks and robs peaceful traders -no need for her to know, Maylara "stealed" slaves!- A dangerous magic user who possed as a priestess of Negeé, breaking several laws! Who was pursuited by the state!
Because of this, Shaazer'ah fought Maylara. And then, she had to gag her, before giving her back to the authorities, to avoid her to use any spell or anything...
So I'm afraid she couldn't hear May side of story, knowing only she is a wanted, dangerous criminal! !

All that is true, but I have a question! Did she gag Neroe too? If she didn't, what is to stop Neroe from turning Shazeer'ah against the Guild of Weavers? *plot twist music!* Seriously though, I do love it, and I can see it easily in my mind's eye. We would just have to wait and see what happens though!

Shabazik In reply to Elsasgirlfriend [2013-04-05 13:45:49 +0000 UTC]
yes, she gagged Neroe. If she was gagging one -May-, she thought she could gag Neroe as well!

Yeah it will be tough to sync things up and see if the become canon or not, and I had almost forgot Shazeer'as origins. While they have a bit in common, really May just wants to get home as it's been so long since she saw her family. There would be a major party when she gets home finally with many baked goods of Thaergrud.

I'm confused. I understand they where captured but if this is after the fake priestess incident why is Neroe there?...

Shabazik In reply to theroyalscouter [2013-04-04 02:59:08 +0000 UTC]
1.- No es parte del canon
2.- Si lo fuera, sería en el futuro, una vez que Neroe y Maylara se reencuentran y vuelven a sus andanzas de aventureras!

He has explained, this isnt related to the story at all. Perhaps it will be part of the story in a distant future, but so far its just a random image totally unrelated to the original story...

It looks like it was worth the wait! I really enjoy looking at this! Nice lighting effect, wherever the light is coming from. An overhead lamp or lighting spell? I like the woodgrained beams all lit up in the foreground and becoming dark and ominous as the tunnel recedes into the background. Also, it looks like you used extra thick lines for the shadowed areas of Neroe and Maylara.
It looks like Maylara is getting sexually assaulted--again! Shazeer'a is even taller and heavier than May! Not many drow can say that! She may be as tall as Captain Lo'Kee?
Neroe looks appropriately annoyed, makes sense given her friend is getting "feeled up". Otherwise she might be shocked that this is, indeed, happening to her again!
The girls are drawn real well! The thick lines gave a good impression of depth in this pic, and I too really love Neroe's small breasts! 'Course May's are nice too!

Well, the captorer stripped them out of their tops, I'm afraid! So is "common for prisoners". Prisoners of drow!
