Kal-Kanar Part 1

## Episode 5 - The FeyWild West

Somewhere in District 3. After a day of riding through the desert, the Argent-Grey’s race through the sands flying and in direwolf form while Talia communes with her gods. Seline dreams of being watched from her bedroom door but there's nothing there. She goes down to the living room and falls asleep there. In the morning, Talia finds her curled up on the couch and wakes her to start the day. They continue traveling during the next week. Jareth is improving in school and becoming more social. He has a consistent group of friends - a human, a tiefling, a tabaxi, a half-orc, and the only full blood elf at school. On the morning before the night of the full moon, Talia wakes to find Seline not in bed but waiting for her in the kitchen with a potion. Mischievously Seline dares Talia into drinking the potion. She does much to Seline's surprise. Suddenly consumed with the need to use the bathroom, Talia runs upstairs.

> You go to the bathroom and there's something extra between your legs... All your scars are still there, the binding is a bit flatter than usual, and your hourglass figure isn't so much there. Hair is a bit shorter, jawline is still killer though.

> DM Molly

> First of all, this isn't my fault.

> Seline Argent-Grey

There's some heated discussion, Talia believes Seline found the potion that she intended to use for Seline's birthday. However, Seline gave Talia her potion because now she's ovulating. Talia argues the impracticality of pregnancy while they're still chasing Brown but Seline convinces Talia to change her mind... 24 hours later… now after over 10 days of riding Talia can see a sparkling light reflecting the desert sun on top of a jagged mountain. Getting a closer look, Seline can see structures built up and down the side of the mountain as well as buildings surrounding its base. It's a city larger than Airpike. On the outskirts of the city, they come across irrigated farmland. What appeared to be a mountain, is actually several tall spires. At the top of the tallest one in the center is a glass structure. At the gates of the city, Talia introduces herself and Seline as bounty hunters from District 1. One of the guards here, Jolnar, escorts them through the city to their captain. He has one bright orange eye and one normal brown eye. Houses here are made from either compacted sand or dugout stone. Some of the wood that they see is only on the nicer-looking buildings. They are led to a nicer-looking building labeled *Captain of the Guard*. Although the inscription is in common it seems more orcish. Their captain, Captain Saldar is a shaved head person with pointy ears who might be half-elven. They explain to the captain that they want to work with the authorities of District 3 to capture Brown. He explains that bounties within the city are subject to law and un-law. If Brown was within the city he would have to be captured by the city guard tried and if convicted then extradited to District 1. He also says with enough money, the trial could go either way. He hints that is the way Kal-Kanar law works. If they want to discuss unlaw, meet him at the Dancing Dragon. He also suggests Seline cover her wings so that someone above doesn't take interest in them and then dismisses them. After Seline buys a cloak to cover her wings, they explore the city to get more familiar with it. Roads in the city vary in size from barely enough to squeeze a horse through to not wide enough to have two horses walk abreast and still others widen into courtyards with wells. Here homes are stacked one on top of the other and it is so crowded family of six is living in a 20x40 room and some smaller. This is also not likely the impoverished area just crowded. While asking for the Dancing Dragon, Talia notices they're being followed on the rooftops. Through Cortez, Seline says that it is Jolnar who escorted them to the captain. Through the crowds inside, Seline and Talia spot the captain in a dark corner. The captain explains that when the justice of the law can be bought, the city criminal element’s unlaw steps in which he also represents. Brown (going by Clemens) spent 4 months in the city. Captain Saldar suggested Brown paid a lot to be warned his wanted status was about become known throughout the city because Brown left on the day before. The Argent-Grey’s won't need anything else to bounty hunt in District 3 as long as it is not in this city. However, Captain Saldar warns them to watch themselves because Seline was walking around earlier with her wings out. Oddities tend to be noticed by those who live in glass houses. He says he wants justice done in his city and for that he needs friends… several stand up unsheathing swords. Talia and Seline rise, Talia shooting all except one whom Seline finishes with sacred flame.

> You cannot do this.. you cannot defy them.. you cannot defy the lawmakers
>
> Captain Saldar

The lawmakers are the ones who live in the glass houses. In exchange for the captain's gifts, they insure, he can pay to put away those who do wrong. Before Seline shoots him, he says Leroy Brown went east. In his pockets are his badge of office, an old pristine pistol (Flintlock era), a kind of ornamental silver dagger, and a sealed letter. The wax seal on the letter is of an inverted faceted diamond. Quickly Talia and the horses are ushered into the mansion. She asks Jareth to quickly get Talden. Meanwhile, Seline has removed the door knob from the wall and taken wing, soaring east. Fortunately the guards in the city attempt to shoot her down. Shots whiz by her until one lucky shot takes her between the shoulder blades.
