Yu Gwai

With my uncle's demise, I will do my best to lead the Tower of Krasha as he would. His brave sacrifice in the battle with Lehba has proven beyond all doubt that he was a good person at heart, and no one should ever call insinuate grizzly humanoid experimentation again.

We have an actual RP guild in WoW arakkoa.wordpress.com/2020/04/13/we-…

@Qon_Zhizhu @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub I made a big speech. Led them out of a dark cave. Guess I'm starting to make a habit of that. *Sigh* This is going to be... interesting.

@YuGwai @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub *Zhizhu shields her eyes form the burning sunlight* What... why is there a herd of lizards travelling with you.

*Chen, @YuGwai and @ChobbyCub come closer to the cliff that leads the way to Krasarang - but before them stands a hole in the ground, and the familiar stones of a mogu artisanry*

@WoWRPGM @Qon_Zhizhu @ChobbyCub Ah. So... you might not have even seen a saurok before. Zhizhu, this is my... herd of lost lizard puppies. Lizard puppies, this is... not dinner.

@Qon_Zhizhu @YuGwai @ChobbyCub *As they come out, and the light hits her eyes for the first time in what feels like an eternity, an uproar of lizard-ish noises is heard outside* Oh. That might be an issue.

@WoWRPGM @Qon_Zhizhu @ChobbyCub They won't when I throw a fat sack of coins at them. Come, all of you.

@YuGwai @Qon_Zhizhu @ChobbyCub Won't they mind, you know, two famished mogu?

@Qon_Zhizhu @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub Let's get out of here, then. Halfhill is not far from here and the pandaren got plenty of food.

@YuGwai @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub I am, but I did not want to bother you with that, honourable Warlord. My bones feel like they are only now returning from being stone, which I guess is kind of accurate.

@Qon_Zhizhu @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub Well... *Yu Gwai gets back on his feet and approaches her* How are you feeling? Don't you feel... hungry? Thirsty?

@WoWRPGM @YuGwai @ChobbyCub That would mean I can kill him as often as I want. That would be... glorious.

@Qon_Zhizhu @ChobbyCub @WoWRPGM Oh yeah, that. Remember Qon Tie? We now call him Iron Qon and he led the clan after he helped Shan Bu betray it.

@ChobbyCub @WoWRPGM @YuGwai That is... unfortunate to hear. But probably what our race deserves after letting that bastard Lei-Shen rise to the top. What of my clan? Did they all get wiped out for supporting him like the wretches they were? Or imprisoned like me for standing up to him

@Qon_Zhizhu @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub Oh sure, there's a lot of mogu. But all of them bandits and villains.

@YuGwai @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub What. A dragon ate his heart. Alright then, can you update me one the Mogu Empire? Did Lei-Shen drive it into the ground like I thought he would? Are there even others still alive other than us?

@Qon_Zhizhu @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub Yeah, tell me about it. I wasn't there either. Just a bunch of elves or whatever. And then a dragon ate his heart. Long story.

@YuGwai @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub I've been stuck for 16 000 years? And Lei-Shen is already dead so I cannot even take my revenge on him? *Qon sighs* And the world got broken? Demons? It seems that I have missed a lot.

@WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub @Qon_Zhizhu And all the demon invasions.

@ChobbyCub @YuGwai @Qon_Zhizhu Yeah, that. Oh, and by the way. The world got sundered in the meantime. At least twice. Was it three times?

@WoWRPGM @Qon_Zhizhu @ChobbyCub Uh... This is Chen. He's a brewmaster. And that's Cho. He's a lorewalker. *Yu Gwai keeps drinking tea* Pardon me, I'm a little parched. I just broke an architectural feature.

@Qon_Zhizhu @YuGwai @ChobbyCub You could just ask me. *Chen pours himself another one*

@Qon_Zhizhu @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub Yu Gwai, son of Yu Hwan. In your time, Warlord of the Yu-an.

@YuGwai @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub WHAT? When did... Also, who are you? You look... vaguely familiar. *She takes a closer look at Yu Gwai*

@Qon_Zhizhu @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub He's dead. *Yu Gwai pulls out a canteen and starts chugging down*

@YuGwai @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub *Qon Zizhu manages to get up unto her knees and sit down* I... thank you for freeing me. But why? I was imprisoned here by Lei-Shen, damned be his name. Why would you dare go against the so-called "thunder king"?

@Qon_Zhizhu @WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub You're welcome. *Yu Gwai drops the remaining stone pieces and drops down onto his arse with a thud* Whew. I need a drink after that.

@WoWRPGM @YuGwai @ChobbyCub *Qon groans, slowly trying to get up onto her arms* Who... are you? Why... are you here?

@WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub @Qon_Zhizhu Titans damn it! I'm not letting this happen! *Yu Gwai grabs at the stone pillar and braces himself. Suddenly, the stone cracks in his arms and as he pulls, he pulls off the entire face of the pillar - the gem breaks and the two pandaren collapse*

@ChobbyCub @YuGwai @Qon_Zhizhu *Now the energy flows into both of them, but the gem is still cracking and they both start groaning in pain* No... there is more to this lock... We did not foresee...

@WoWRPGM @ChobbyCub @Qon_Zhizhu Exactly. Think of this like drawing it from the air. Just pull it from the stone.

@YuGwai @ChobbyCub @Qon_Zhizhu I can try... but a monk does not usually draw Chi out of anything. We restore the Chi of others, or draw it from the world to restore ourselves.

@ChobbyCub @WoWRPGM @Qon_Zhizhu We cannot leave her like that! Chen! You're a monk. Chi is your thing. Can't you... draw the Chi out and break the lock?

@WoWRPGM @YuGwai @Qon_Zhizhu ...She was kept flesh, and alive, with this gem. She truly is... alive. The Thunder King's cruelty knows no bounds!

@ChobbyCub @WoWRPGM @Qon_Zhizhu Perhaps. I am not one to barter with misery. *He looks at the pillar carefully, and looks straight into Zhizhu's eyes* Her eyes are very... ...vivid. *Yu Gwai puts a finger in front of her face and start moving it around* By the Titans! She's alive!

@YuGwai @WoWRPGM @Qon_Zhizhu But at least... you had some time to be yourself. She... if this were all true... all she would have would be... this dark room.

@ChobbyCub @WoWRPGM @Qon_Zhizhu I imagine it would be much like mine... More than ten thousand years, being able to be myself only in the night... and being an unconscious witness during the days. Only able to see Lei Shen turn my people into an instrument of evil and being unable to fight.

@YuGwai @WoWRPGM @Qon_Zhizhu They said she was made into living stone. Her eyes forever open, but unable to act or move, forever still in the darkness, her loss her only companion... I cannot imagine the pain she would be through if she was still alive.
