Title: Last of His Kind - RP
Post by: Rywho on December 03, 2005, 04:39:12 AM

(Remember, all items of news and discussion will take place in the Inn section.  Thank you everyone, now let us begin.)


  Sound of the breeze only seems to fuel the haunting nature of this moonlit and starless night, few insects emit their chirps.  Howling somewhere in the darkness cries a wolf, a signal to others that something is forboding in nature on this very night.  Appearing from what shadows that pool themselves throughout the night, comes a tall figure walking somberly in the direction he faces.  Visible through the pulled up hood is only his chin, scruff litters the visible section of flesh.  Tattered and shredded towards the bottom gives this man a wicked and malevolant air.  Shining in a close knit line, is the reflection of the moon's rays bestowing upon him an etheral feel, as if to broadcast his presence on the land.
   Silence follows the figure closly at his heels, as if it were a lost puppy following a new master.  Sounds die to nothing as he walks past the area of forest, another howl cries from the wolf but quickly disappears.  Picking up again, the wind sends the trees into a rage, seeming to warn this man that nature will not fear his poison of her senery. Shortly after his apppears he fades away from view yet again.

"Oh, come on."
"No. I don't have time for that."
"Come on. Just one drink. We haven't had drinks in a while Locke."
"Ok John. We'll go to the pub BUT only... if you help me with these horses."
"Sure, sure. What's need to be done?"
"Well everything here just needs a big clean-up."
"Ok. Let's get to work then."
The two friends clean the stables of the royal guards in Hurinore. While their working dark clouds close-in into the city. The wind is getting faster, the ice-cold rain falls with a tremendous speed. So fast that it feels like hail. People on the streets return to their home, running like trapped rats. John is the first to notice it.
"The hell?" he says confused while walking towards the doors.
"It was sunny just a few minutes ago. There were no clouds in a 50 mile radius..."
"Well, either you were wrong or it's... hehe... sorcery."
"Oh yeah, real funny. Well I'm done here. Let's get to the Cerberus and drink a couple, yay?"
"Yeah. The Cerberus is great. Well, I owe you. Let's get going."

In a small cottage in a sleepy hamlet, a robed man sits in an ornate chair by a slowly dying fire.

He stirs and opens his eyes, shivering slightly. Peering around the room, he spots the fading embers and rolls his eyes. The man raises his hand and clicks his fingers quietly, and the fire flares up again. He closes his eyes and leans back on the chair.

The window-panes rattle and he stands up abruptly and walks to the window. For a few seconds he peers out, and then leans back slightly when something green crashes against the window. It wobbles slightly, and a face appears from the mass of green cloth. The face mouths something, and the visitor taps against the window. The man in the house points to the right, and the face at the window leaves, accompanied by the opening of the door.

"It's raining pretty bad out there, isn't it Verde?", says the visitor. He looks to be about 10 years old, with blonde hair and green robes wrapped tightly around himself. Verde nods quietly, then pulls a chair towards the fire and gestures for the boy to sit down.

"I know", says Verde, "It hasn't broken for hours, and it doesn't look like it will tonight". He stretches out on the chair and sighs. "So, what have you been doing tonight", he says.

"I've been practicing. There are some wolves outside the town, I was casting fire magic on them. Annoyed 'em pretty bad". The boy giggles and pulls up his knees onto the chair.

"You shouldn't do that, you know, Rise", mutters Verde sternly, "People can get into trouble with angry wolves". He keeps up the frown for a few moments, then snorts and laughs. "Keep practicing", he chuckles.

Outside, the rain carries on falling...

Near the castle walls a man sits on horseback, his atire says "nobleman", but his eyes say "devil". His green hair can be seen under his cap. He glares over the lands curiously then signals for a servant boy to come his way.

"Peasant, hast thou seen such a storm appear so quickly?" He spoke in a rather calm tone, he talks propper and has a "manly" voice that exerts authority.

The servant answers "No m'lord."

"Hmmmm..." The man mumbled to himself obviously in deep thought while rubbing his chin.

"May I please be excuse m'lord?" the boy asked, obviously wanting to get out of the rain.

"Hmmmm, fine fine, leave my sight..." the nobleman answered. Then he tosses a few gold coins "...this must cover today's services."

"Thank ye!" The servant boy yelled cheerfully pocketing the coins and running home protecting himself from the rain as he goes.

The nobleman's hat is blown off by a gust of wind and the horse whinnies obviously upset by somthing. "Easy," the nobleman said and he began to take the horse to the stables.

(Edit: Drace, could you please try to be more clear on who is talking? Just having talking quotation marks is not enough.)

*Meanwhile in a small distant village called Selinia*

A young yet beautiful lady wounders the streets in search of someone she knew from her past.

Girl: "Hey, have you seen a tall wolf like human around?"
Farmer: "Lady you must be joking! Stop talking nonsense about wolf people and get out of my face!"

The farmer pushes the girl out of his way and goes back to his daily schedule.

Girl: "How rude!" She turns and notices a young women sitting on a bench near Selinia Park. The women appeared to be reading a love novel when the girl approached her.

Girl: "Excuse me ma'am, but have you seen a tall wolf like human around lately?"

The women raised an eyebrow and look at her with consern.

Women: "Are you feeling ok miss? Cause I know a good doctor who could really help you out."

The women grabbed the girl by the arm in attempt to take her to a hospital.

Girl: "No I am fine, but I am looking for a friend of mine, he is..."

Women: "Lady you need some serious help, just come with me and everything will be ok"

She pulled her arm away from the women fiercely and ran away towards the Tavern to the west of town.

Girl: "People are totally clueless around here! On top of that very rude! Huph!"

The girl bursts into the tavern with a sour look on her face. She approachs the bar, takes a seat on a stool, and slams her hand on the counter.

Girl: "Give me the good stuff!"

Bartender: "Arent you a little young to be drinking miss?"

Her eyes glare at the bartender with anger as she grabs him by the collar of his shirt, pulling him close.

Girl: "Look bud, the name is Jenna, and I am 21 years old, I can show you any proof you need, but dont ever misjudge me again! I am in no mood for your chimes old man!"

Jenna released the bartender and sits back down. She begins to tap her fingers on the counter tops as she waited for her drink.

Bartender: "Here you go Jenna, so sorry about my remark..."

Jenna: "Dont bother with it, just dont do it again."

She smiled at the bartender as she took a sip of her drink.

Jenna: "Hey, have you seen a tall wolf like human around lately?"

The bartender gave her a odd look and began to laugh. Her eyes pierced into his soul, and he quickly went quiet.

Bartender: "No miss..."

In the Cerberus Locke and John are sitting at the bar. Before Locke are 4 empty glasses. In front of John are 7 empty glasses.
"Locke... where did ye twin came from?" John says while sitting dazed on his chair.
Locke looks around himself. A few peasants are standing close-by, talking loudly. A man and a woman, most likely rich, are sitting behind him. Another man is sitting just behind John.
"Well I can't see me twin, but yours seems to be drunk."
"Nah. Me twin don't get drunk that fast," John lays his arm around the person behind him. "Or do ya, brotha?"
The man, a creepy looking guy, looks John straight in the eyes.
"Those who touch the unholy one, get punished by a fate worse than the Black Plague," the man enchants in a deep, disturbing voice.
John looks the man in the eyes, takes a sip from his beer and turns to Locke. "Hehehe. Seem like ye were correct me friend. He is drunk."
The two of them laugh. The man get's up and looks at the two. "Infidels! Thou shall find death this night!" he shouts through the pub. He then spits at the two and storms off out of the pub.
John looks at Locke, and Locke at John.
Locke then turns to the bartender.
"My good fella, I would like the same as the man just stormed off."

Minutes pass and the storm advances in it's might a rattling is heard and the door of the tavern is flung open by the wind, the nobleman from the castle stands at the entrance drenched, eyes turn to him as he walks in and takes a seat.

The bartender opens his mouth ready to talk but is cut short by the nobleman "Scotch... that ist what I want..." the nobleman's eyes glare through the room and everyone turns and return to what they were doing "...rude" he muttered, his eyes take notice to Jenna but he turns back as he receives his drink, he thumps a couple coins to the bartender. "Thist should be sufficient... for both" he said in a calm tone.  The bartender shivers and walks back, most likely bothered by the recent weird visitors or afraid for his life for whatever reasons. "Thast angry look doesth no good for a young lady. It would appear that thou has found the customs of ones here most... inhospitable... they could learn manners. Thoust be looking for sombody I take it and nobody will cooperate." He pauses for a moment then continues "Excuseth me, how rude of me not to introduce myself, I am Lord Kiterius." He smiles "but, thoust can merely call me by Kite."

 In the Cerberus, drinking a frask of orange juice (druids never drank anything stronger than orange juice) a man in a dark robe watched the scene in silence, "The druids were right" he thought "anything stronger than orange juice is asking for die." He drank a little more, then he got up, the bartender looked at him. "Hey, you! That's 5 bucks!" the man looked around and pointed to the rich man nearby. "I'm with him." he said, and walked out of the pub, then quickly climbed to the roof. He could hear the gasp of surprise fromt he old man, and then the steps of the bartender running to the door. "THIEF!" the bartender tried to find for the man, but never ocurred him to look up. Looking angry, he walked inside again. "New rules!" he yelled "First pay, then drink!" the man in the roof grinned, he would stay in there for a while, it was too risky to get down while the bartender was obviously still looking for him.

After the Initial Murmur of Disatified Groans, arising from the newly-initiated "Pay and Drink" Policy Gem, A quiet fixture, Arises Indiscriminatly from a all but occupied table, in a quiet corner of the room..carefully teetering around the bar's denizens, he makes his way up to the barkeep...

"barkeep, the resident wench seems to be avoiding me....please.....I am In need of a Pint of Stout ale, and some information....I hoped to simply ask your waitress...but as I said Prior..."

The Barkeep goes on about his business, barely heeding Gems Request.....

"I hoped to not have towalk out of the shadows of stealth this evening...but it seems its inevitable in this Din"

Drawing Back his cloak, Gem moves his right hand to his temple, in concentration...And soon after looks up to find the busy barkeep, still distracted in his duties...

"Barkeep...come to me, and share a word, if you will..."the words were whispered, but  they hang in the ears off all within the range of the Bar...Many stop, with a slight shudder..shaking the words out of their ears
The Barkeep, hurries over...."my apologies sir....I didnt wish to keep you waiting...please, what can I do for you?"

In retort,"Ale for one....also,I am in need of Information....I am a freelance Adventurer....looking for work.....A skilled Ranger....any tips worthwhile, will fatten your change pouch that much more..."


"Well.......let me see...." the bartender thinks for a moment, pondering a profitable response

"Thoust to me are very drunk," Kiterius snapped as he was getting ready to drink.

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 04, 2005, 03:45:01 AM

Jenna turns to Kiterius with a innocent look on her face.

Jenna: "Excuse me, might you have seen a wolf like man around?"
She plays with a strand of her hair while waiting for an answer.

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 04, 2005, 03:49:26 AM

Kiterius chuckles, but not like the the others "As a matter of fact, I heard rumors of somthing of resemblance that description a few weeks ago, though can't remember well, but if thou needeth a tracker I'm not too bad at finding a person." He points to himself with a smirk. He continues at a lower tone "I think people here are a bit biased toward elfens..."

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 04, 2005, 03:58:06 AM

She smiled, but her face suddenly dropped with suspicion as she look over Kiterious.

Jenna: "Ok, I know how things work in this world. How much you asking?"

She finishes off her drink then begins to nap her fingers to get the bartender's attention.

Jenna: "Aye! More wine!"

Bartender: "Ya Ya hold your horses."

Jenna: "How rude!"

Bartender: "Your so annoying girl!"

The bartender refills her glass, then goes back to cleaning the tables.

Jenna: "I dont see why people act like that to Elfs, we are not so different."

(geez, I'm the guy with the story line and I'm being left in the dust, lol, guess I have my work cut out for me, eh?)

The bartender finely responds after bringing forth some intle for Gem, "ah, yes I do recall the horros of a plagued city, tis not far from our village.  terrorized by a giant beast they say, killed numerous folk.  Lords have not beared any success in vanquishing thou cruel beast."

"Excuse me.....Girl......." Gem interjects, with a ginger tapp of the nape..."Jenna, was it?"

"I couldnt help but overhear that you are in search, of a beast.....Lupine, If I heard Correct.."

Jennas Glance is unhalting as she waits for the catch line behind Gems Words...

"I am a Ranger, By trade.....Some would call me fallen...I would call myself an entrpeneur.

The Name is Gem....I frequent the towns in this land, lending my bow to those requiring assistance.....I am an adept tracker....And In exchange for  travelling company and half of the tasks spoils, I would like to give you my aid...I have trouble staying put, and grow ancy in an idle state.....What say you m'lady"

With that, A gleaming white smile was barred, and the previously rough, and solem face glows with an inviting, non-threatining light..
With a wink "Are you in need?"

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 04, 2005, 04:09:00 AM

Kiterius chuckled "I am particularly unbiased, elves be fine with me, and to answer thoust question the world may workest that way but I am not with the world. I need not cash for I already have that." He glances over at Gem "And personally, I doest not trust you."

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 04, 2005, 04:14:41 AM

She ponders while looking at her glass.

Jenna: "Well I guess having two guides wont hurt."

She swirlds her finger in a elven motion which marks a small coin on the counter infront of Kiterius and Gem.

Jenna: "This is how Elvens greet people. I am Jenna"

She smiles and slightly lowers her head to bow.

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 04, 2005, 04:20:56 AM

Kiterius lowers his head to bow as well.

"Pleasure to be of assistance lady Jenna" he said in a courteous tone.

(I would like to point something out that one of our players had a misconception over, though it was my fault.  My character's race is Kaiphix, half Kaiser dragon, half Grand Phoenix. Rywho looks human due to a gentic defect. sorry about that)

Rubbing his temple the bartender goes again about his daily routine.  Today has so far been one of his...weirder ones, not every day does he encounter  a nobleman, an elf, and a wandering bowsman.

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 04, 2005, 04:27:40 AM

She glances at Kiterius confused...

Jenna: "Do you not have a name? I never caught that if you mentioned it."

Being bored out of her mind, she pointed her finger at the bartender. Jenna closed her eyes and swirled her finger slowly clock wise making very tiny rifts of ice. She flicked her finger to the right thrusting her ice spell flew towards the bartenders rearend.

Bartender shouted as he jumped with short pain: "Yowwww!!! Who did that."

Jenna turns her head slightly down, with a huge smirk on her face. Giggling out of control she gave herself away.

Bartender: "Why you little!!!!!!"

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 04, 2005, 04:31:00 AM

Kiterius lifted his head up and laughed "Well thoust werest just holding it out and it be a pretty hard target to miss," Kiterius joked. "And I did mention it, it was Lord Kiterius, but you can call me by Kite."

Title: In retort
Post by: Ben on December 04, 2005, 04:34:38 AM

Taking a step back in shock (However questionably authentic)
Gem pulls Back his Cloak.
"Sir! Im taken aback"

Gem seems to dimish a touch, in his constition....He apprears Weaker....Slightly Defenceless....saddened and Offended

"Do not leat my weatherbeaten face decieve you!"
Jenna Glance turns to Gem's Aquisitor, And in the Seconds her gaze is distracted, Gem Lets out a threatining Scowl, before resting again in its helpless compliance.

"I want to Bring no Harm or threat to your party.....Personal Differences Aside, My approaching you Is strictly Professional...An mutually Benificial....."

Gem's Stature Seems to Regain the presence of an Able Tracker...

"I have seen tracks just off of a path beathen to the West of here...They are Definatly Lupine, In nature...." Looking at his Conversational Advisary....."That means WOLF MAN, good sir....
And I have caught a scent on the brezes before Coming to this place.....I Believe it is in the best intrest of your objective to heed my advise and command my skill, m'lady....I wish no quarrel with your Un-Couth Friend"



(OOC....Im sorry, Im a slow typer....This post was meant to occur right Before Jennas Post, accepting the two guides....Apologies.)

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 04, 2005, 04:35:48 AM

Jenna: "Nice to meet you Kite and Gem, and dude he is so right, lose the pounage on that thing and I wont use it as target practice."

She giggled as she took a sip of her wine infront of her. Placing the glass down after her sip, she gave the bartender a huge smile, then giggled again.

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 04, 2005, 04:41:09 AM

"I would watch my words, because they apply more so to yourself." Kite snapped back at Gem, his eyes flare for a moment and he cools and laughs.

Title: well met
Post by: Ben on December 04, 2005, 04:42:39 AM

"Well Met, Jenna.....The name, again is Gem."
Gem turning to Kitierus extends a hand in greeting

"Well met sir......Would a fellow such as yourself be in object to nickname? "

As Kiterius starts to Object Gem interjects....
"No?!? Alright Sir, Kit it is."

Gem motions to the Barwench, who now is having trouble not paying attention to Gem to Bring a round for his new friends.

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 04, 2005, 04:51:02 AM

She ponders on Gem's information as she continued to sit her wine.

Jenna: "I am getting closer. Soon I will have his head!"

She slammed the glass on the counter breaking it.

Bartender: "Ah! You better pay for that!"

Jenna: "Stick a cork in it fat man!"

Walking towards the exit, she flings through the door and leans against a pole near the entrance.

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 04, 2005, 04:53:47 AM

Kiterius flings a few coins back at the bartender and approaches Jenna "Have his head?" he questioned. "It seems this wolf man has done a wrong in your life."

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 04, 2005, 05:03:15 AM

Piercing through the night air comes the rattling roar of an undistinguished creature.  Patrons throughout the bar jump from fright, the bartender ducks down, "bloody christ what in gods name was that?" apparently something was definatly amiss around this land.

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 04, 2005, 05:03:22 AM

Without any words she handed Kite a scroll which stated the elvish news from last month.

Elvish Weekly News:

"A terrible thing has befallen the elven tribe of Seria. Two Elven children have been murdered by a lupine just a few hours ago.
There seemed to be only one witness to this horrible crime, Princess Jenna. Please tell us your story Jenna.

Jenna: "There is no way, I can even describe what has happened here. I was just taking a walk, when he killed them infront of me. It was so fast, like lightning speed, and I couldnt do anything to stop it."

Jenna is it true your own sister disowned you for not protecting her children when they needed you.

Jenna: "I dont want to talk about this, get that out of my face!"

There you have it, a torn family of Seria. What is to come of this event? Will Jenna's sister forgive her for being unable to save her only children? Will There be justice?"


{End of Scroll}

Jenna: "The reporter on that was stupid. My sister may have disowned me, but this isnt why I want revenge. My Nephews need to have peace, and I will bring them that peace."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 04, 2005, 05:07:04 AM

"Then m'lady must not go about doing this on her own, or thou will be the next victim." Kiterius responded. "As for family, I wouldn't know, I haft never been a part of one..." he added. "Hm? What was that sound? What is wrong with you all?"

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 04, 2005, 05:19:31 AM

Jenna looks around curiously and cautiously.

Jenna: "Everything ok?"

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 04, 2005, 05:28:37 AM

Another roar resonates through the night air, louder and more forceful than the last, shaking the walls of the tavern.  More patrons grow skidish, this was something new for them, thouhg it's doubtful any of them enjoy the sound.

Post by: Ben on December 04, 2005, 05:56:34 AM

"Silence!"Gem calls......."Something watches us in malice...."

The Three stand on Caution.....


Gem, after scurrying to Higher ground, smells the Breeze, and Returns Low, to Whisper his discovery toi the party......

"Im not sure what it is, but something....or things are spying on Us.....Or at least spying on the Pub's Traffic....

What shall we do m'lady.....this isnt the scent of the Lupine You seeks.....It smells cleaner....but hostile none the less....it could be dangerous travelling by night with just the 3 of us...."

"Kit......Jenna.....We must either Leave hre now, Or venture inside....Battle is eminent."

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 04, 2005, 06:02:11 AM

Jenna: "I can just tell it isnt the from Seria, for he strikes fast in the middle of everyone, and doesnt wait to attack.  I think someone was following one of us."

She ponders to herself as she looks around. Her pointy elven ears begin to wiggle slightly left and right.

Jenna: "It's very close and seems stealthy enough to hide any trace of footsteps."

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 04, 2005, 06:16:01 AM

A figure adorned in a tatered and torn cloak appears into view, as another roar comes through the night.  Unshaken this cloaked being walks onward coming ever closer to the small group.  Without stopping to say a word, or offer a glance he passes by them and continues on.  The rain begins to pick up furhter, as another figure slinks into view, being sharter than the other man, he is just as if not more menacing.

Blue tinted fur covers his body, lupine arched feet storm after the cloaked man's trail, seems something transpired between the two, maybe a transgression in this wolf man's mind.  His golden eyes reflect what little light this night holds.

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 04, 2005, 06:24:07 AM

She glared at the Lupine with hostile eyes a slowly hovered her hand above her dagger held to her waist. Thoughts began to flow into her mind of that fearful day, but with one true glance, could not tell if it was truely the Lupine that killed her nephews.

As her eyes kept to the Lupine, she followed 20 paces behind it, in case it was the killer. She only waited for one wrong move.

Title: .
Post by: Ben on December 04, 2005, 06:26:27 AM

Awestruck, the group gaze baffled for a moment....

"miss Jenna......" Gem stutters....."I believe Ive found your Lupine......however, it seems he has an Entouage.....We'd be best to follow in the shadows behind...I still sense much danger brewing here.....Bandits likely.....Ill see wh---" but Gems voice fades into murmurs, as he draws his clioak, and nearly vanishes into the shadowas, chasing after the Lupine and his master...

Ahead of them, Kit and Jenna can see gem scouting the trail....A fain glow eminates from the ribbon on Gems Quiver, letting the small party see the distance and position of the Tracker..



"That beast must be carrying an extra enchantment.....to escape my senses.......much power in that creature" Gem whispers to himself, in half-thought

(OOC: Again, Jenna has beat me to the post"

Post by: Rywho on December 04, 2005, 06:29:46 AM

The cloaked man disappears from both the Lupine and Jenna's sight. The humaniod stops his jaw open, speaking his voice is slightly deep, "what the!? oh just great first he walks right through my territory, now he disappears, some nerve that bloke has,"  His ears twitch and he cranes his neck back towards Jenna, he gives her an odd lok seeing her hand at her blade, "got something against Lupines, miss?  Or have I inconvinenced you over something?"

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 04, 2005, 06:35:19 AM

She pauses for a moment, then relaxes to normal form.

Jenna: "I am sorry, but I almost thought you were my nephews' killer. Please pardon me, but a Lupine did wrong my past. I just didnt know if you were him or not. Please pardon my behavior."

She turns and walks back to the pole and leans against it. Her hopes of finding the killer seemed almost lost to her now. A tiny tear drops to the ground and crystalizes before breaking into tiny pieces.

She speaks to herself quietly: "Its been a month now, and no luck. He could be anywhere by now. The trail is getting colder, I just hope Kite and Gem and help me find him."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 04, 2005, 06:57:14 AM

"This gets more and more interesting... to battle both the beast and the lubine I could start to claim my rights as the top of the food chain..." Kite thought to himself, a smirk comes over his face and then he chuckles and talks in confident tone "Do not worry yourself m'lady, we will find this scoundrel and give him what he deserves."

Title:
Post by: Ben on December 04, 2005, 06:57:54 AM

Falling out of a tree, with a rustling of Branches, comes Gem.....Bow still in hand.....Arrow Gripped in tow with it.

"T'is a good thing ye spoke, miss jenna....Or i'd have killed an Innocent Lupine...."
Casting a Glare at the lupine "Inocent of one crime, anyhow...."
What is your business, were-hound.....Ive encountered your kind before, and learned not to throw trust at your folk easily"


"One of your kind murdered two children.....My leige's Nephews.....

Post by: Ben on December 04, 2005, 07:09:53 AM

Gem turns his head to Kit in annoyance.....
"Kit.....Wandering the lands for as long as I remember, I have yet to encounter a Lupine that can be trusted......They can have a heart of gold....but when the hunger hits....they will eat you in your sleep.....I ask him for answers....And if it doesnt answer, it hides something.....I will let it be at peace when it answers me."
Gem turns, slightly more enraged....."SPEAK, LUPINE.....For your own good"

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 04, 2005, 07:14:53 AM

"Even a man would eat a fellow man if hungry enough..." Kite said with a near-grim tone, and a bit questionable how he refers to people. "I find humans to be one of the more untrustable species..."

Gem lowers his bow and steps back, raising his hands slightly, and stowing his longbow, and Arrow.....

"Very Well Kit.......I shall heed your words, allthough reluctant....
but bear this in mind.......
I have yet to see a human that regularly Ingests Feces....but the sight of a dog mowing on a dropping is oviously not enough to convince you of the vile nature here..."
"I will let you deal with the lupine....But If I see it so much as lick its lips in our direction I will stick it in the eye and Gut it myself."

Turning Away slightly to keep sentry, Gem allows Kit his wish.

Fixating his gaze on the horizon, Gem notices a small group approaching leagues in the distance....Still a good 5 minutes travel from the Pub the group had departed from earlier

"You know that isn't true about them, then again, a prejudicial human only hears what he wants to. Wolfmen have an organized society beyoundest thou's comprehension. They eat and drink much like humans, though their food is composed of more meat and less vegetation. Or is there something thoust ARE trying to hide in these hostile actions?" Kite preached, strangely agitated, taking notice that he's been saying a bit much he shakes his head.

"The problem with people ist that they want to make things simple as possible for them and say it be the way things are... not a wolf, but a wolf man, thus not the same as a dog... I'm sure Jenna has had a few generalizations from people as well..." Kite finishes.

Gem looks as if to have something relavent to add......A revelation that would explain why the ranger had fell in the first place.......His distrust for beasts.....but he turns away, concealing his expression........
"You are a wise man kit.......you know much lore..."

A murrmur is heard, as if a grimace in pain, from a closed mouth-bite to gems own tounge......

"Perhaps before the journey ends,  We shall trade Campfire stories......I can tell you of my Mentor....he was a great man."
"But not as Great as you, Oh wise Demihuman...."
As his last words are spoken, Gems Head turns, eyes distantly glazed over  to meet the scrutinizing gaze of Kit.......But kits Look turns away rather quickly away as the Emotion in Gems Gaze is eerie and distant....Generally unsettleing

"Demihuman...?" The bartender question and there is chatter of unsettlement "Lord Kiterius? Surely thou jests."

"What I said and What youve heard differ....or at least thats my story....Oh wise, and Pretentous Kit...Demihuman youve heard...
but with your reasoning, it may as well have been mutton..."

"M'lady Jenna......I shant subject you to this bickering....I will be the bigger man-" Gem casts an amused glare at kit "and see what
I can find out remotely....I will scour the area, and leave our 'friend' to tarnish my character away from my earshot...and when I return, I will bring more information...And rest assured, I will return with haste....."

"Its obvious My skills will not be trusted untill I prove their worth"

With a Draw of his cloak, Gem Vanishes into the surroundings, weaving in and out of earshot of the goings on around the area

The Lupine stares in utter lose at how quickly what looked like friends in his eyes, convert to rivals.  Scracthing the tip of his snout he grunts quickly recaling the lady talking about a lupine that had killed someone, he cautiously walks closer to them, "m'lord, m'lady, I can't help but thinkest that I know who that lupine is. Couldest thou give a description of thy killer?"  asking made him alittle uneasy, seeing as that bowsman could still be around, he had already aquired a wound tonight adding a second would only prove his misfortune.

(OOC: Jeez, 4 pages already?)

With a rustling of leaves and a cracking of twigs, the robed Verde treads into view of the others, with Rise's shivering form following after him.

"Can we go home now?", Rise says, his teeth chattering, making his speech almost completely incoherent. "I'm cold, and there are - Gagh?!". He jumps suddenly and points to the circle of people. "Wh-who are they, Verde?".

"Good question", Verde replies calmly. "You do not seem hostile, and I beg your pardon for the interruption. Come on, Rise". He begins to walk past the group, but stops and raises his hands.

"There is a sizeable amount of magical power here", he whispers to nobody in particular. He spins on his heel quickly and points directly at Jenna. "Ah. I see that you have Elven blood... Yes, that'll be it". He bows his head deeply, and then gives a lesser nod to each of the others.

An owl hoots, and Rise shudders and whimpers. He whispers something to Verde, then flicks a glance at the people. "I see no reason why not", mutters Verde, then straightens up and clears his throat. "Rise requests that we stay here with you", Verde announces. "Would that be alright?".

Locke and John walk through a forrest.
"Hey John... we're the hell are we?" Locke asks while scouting his surrounding. He can a few people talk in the near-by distance.
"Heh, I think our drunkeningenesslyniss has turned our from our path to home."
"I hear people over yonder. Let's go onwards and ask them for direction."
John stops for a few seconds. "What if they're bandits? It's not wise going to bandits in the night."
"I got me trusty sword by me hand." Locke laughs. "One hint to attack and I slash them."
"Hehe. Just make sure you don't hit one of their twins. That never has effect."
The two of them laugh and quickly walk to where the voices come from.

 The man was following the two drunks for a while. He was hoping they knew where they were going, as himself didn't, plus they seemed they would get into a fight, and fights are the best place for training necromancy, if he would stay in their side or not isn't important for now.
 And of course, there's the fact it was aways funny hear two drunks talking. He keep following them, from a secure distance.

John stops. He looks around him.
"What's the matter John?"
"Do you smell that? Something bad smells here...'' John says, looking arkward.
Locke looks around. He scans the air, the trees and then the ground. When he looks at the ground around John he bursts into a laugh.
"What? What?!" John looks down and notices something coming from under his shoe. He quickly pulls off his shoe and throws it away behind him.
"Ow!" someone shouts behind them.
John looks behind him into the dark. He only sees mile after mile of darkness, thicker than rock. He shakes his and takes a big breath. Locke's still laughing his *** off. A quick stomp on Locke's shoulder and he starts to give a small smile.
"Well, you got your laugh now Locke. Let's go."

Back at the makeshift campsite, Verde stands and takes an extra woolen cloak from his knapsack, and throws it over Rise. "I hear something", he mutters, "I'm gonna check it out". He tramps up the muddy track, and sure enough, sees too figures stumbling about on the edge of his view. One of them appears to have a blade in his hand. "I'm no tracker", mutters Verde quietly, "But I know trouble when I see it".

He slides his knapsack into the crook of his arm and takes out a long, metal gauntlet. It is jagged and worn, and has many symbols carved into it. "Iridon", he gasps. "Still as amazing as when father passed you down to me... It's lucky Rise doesn't know about you". He purrs over the item for a moment, then slips it onto his right hand and raises it to point at the two approaching men.

Verde mutters an incantation, and immediately a small orb of bright light erupts from his palm. He cups it with his other hand, lets it grow into a sizeable ball of flaming yellow light, and casts it quickly into the direction of the strangers.

Title:
Post by: Dragonium on December 04, 2005, 08:12:28 PM

From a little way back along the path, Verde's gauntlet glows again, its runes casting eerie shadows on nearby trees. He glances down at the magic-enhancing gauntlet which fits like a glove, and smiles at his own genius for using it. He raises both his hands, mutters some incantation, and a long, thin beam of light blazes along the path, illuminating Locke's face.

Without thinking, he raises his left hand and causes a large spike of ice to rise from the air above it. He chuckles, and leans in to throw the spell - and suddenly stops.

Verde stares through the darkness at Locke's face once more, a glint of recognition in his eye.

*OOC {My word I goto bed only to get lost in the rp lol eeek}*

Being very causious, she began to speak of all she could remember of the murderous Lupine.

Jenna: "He was tall, his coloring seemed a little off from most lupines. I recall a scar on his left arm in the shape of a blade wound. Thats all I saw of him, everything was too fast to catch any full details."

She glances at Kite: "I myself am not fully Elven. And to reply to your words, yes I get many generalizations. My own father discusts me."

Her heart filled with sadness as she clinched the pendant around her neck tightly.

Jenna: "My father is out for my head, so lets try not to make too much of a scene to where he can find me."

With a swift movement of Verde's hand the spike of ice drops to the ground. Locke barely has the change to dodge it. Locke sees the world spinning to his eyes.
Verde looks confused at him.
"I didn't even hit you..." he says while lowering his hands.
Locke bends over and starts to throw up.
John drops on the ground and smashes his hand against it in a laughter.  When he gets hold of himself again he slowly stands up, wipes a tear away and tells Verde their a bit drunk.

 The man was watching the fight. He was too far away to be spotted or hear anything they were saying, he assumed this pause in the fight would be for menaces and other things people do in fights. He closed his eyes, and started to concentrate, skeleton started to rise from the ground, it was a classical necromancer trick, but this time there weren't human skeletons nearby, so he ressusected the best animal e could find, a wolf. He looked to the skeleton, it wasn't in a good shape, would probaly "die" with a well done pnch, but it had the advantage to be really, really scary looking. He smirked, and made a signal, the wolf agreed with his head and both entered in the drunk's and Verde's line of sight.

Hes is lost in his own mind....it is Late in the evening andn insatiable anxiety flashes over him as he nearly trips over a loosed manhole cover...a smell eminates...Most would call it sewage.....But there is another hint to this scent...a few straggled tufts of Grey-blue hair, crusted with a touch of dried blood hangs snagged on the lid........>Far away, Barely in Eyesight, Gem can Make out the Lupine, Jenna And Kit, Conversing in the night.....pulling a  long string out of his belt pouch Gem ties it to the end of a smooth, non-Barbed Arrow....with a small flint head on it......and Accurately Shoots the Arrow into a Steel Mailbox about 8 feet away from his Companions......a spark Catches the attention of his friends, as the arrow is quickly fished in, with the string......

The Group sees this, and Recognise the arrow as One of Gems, and By following the strings path, they make out a Hunched Gem, signaling for the group to Come and Examine his Findings........

The wolf comes nearer and nearer, but the three don't seem to notice it.
Verde looks at John, then at Locke and then at John again. "So, euhh... you guys are no robbers?"
John and Locke both get in a burst of laughing. When John finally seems to get hold of himself again he tells Verde they only want to know directions.
A smile appears on Verde's face.

Jenna faces Gem's direction, she pauses, then snaps her fingers. Her body disappears in a flash of dust and she appears in the same tree as Gem, right above him on a huge branch.

Jenna: "Please, explain your findings. Anything that might bring me to finding the Lupine?"

As she spoke, her hands brushed through her hair several times.

"Is it so hard to understand?" Kite questioned pointing at things. "He descended into the sewer to evade public's eyes and as a quick escape. I might have done the same if it was I who wast the killer..." Kite pauses then rubs his chin. "My best bet is upstream, there be an unguarded spot nearest to a sewage lid... we never thought one would be so foolish to risk contamination." Kite continues to rub his chin, his posture seems odd, nearly animal, and the looks he gives in his eyes seem nearly animalistic, as if he is studying instinct itself, or possibly subject to it.

She begins to create sprite balls of light and plays with them.

Jenna speaks while playing with sprite balls: "If he went through the
sewers, shouldnt we follow down there? He could leave a trail that we can uncover."

Somehow Jenna loses track of a sprite ball. The Light flies behind her and distacts her wildly causing her to swing her hands after it. Starting to lose her balance she falls backwards out of the tree.

Jenna: "ahh crap!" *Thud!*

"The wound is Deep....But not Critical.....He's Lifted The Manhole Cover, and Survived the Jump Down, The Fumes, And is Still Trudging along at a Good Speed......An Arrow Perhaps...Nothing Magically Imbued, or the wound would likely Cauderize"


"Methinks our luppine Has Enemies Aside From our Cohort...."


Gem looks around as If realizing He had been Immensly Distracted

Dashing Quietly Along the Tunnels Raised Edges, Gem halts Before the Intersection....The Tunnel Continues Southward, With A "T" Intersection Leading  East (Left).

A slight Rustling Compells Gems Attention to Peer cautiously around the Corner, Composite Bow At the Ready, And  Veiled in the Shadows..... A wounded kobold.....Writing in Pain.....Attempting to Gasp For air......
Gem Cautiously Approaches the Kobold, And see that it is Choking on its own Blood......

The Kobold Has had a large portion of its Throat Shredded....

It tries to Yip, as if Pleading for release.......

Wondering weather or not a Mercy Killing will Bring Disaproval From Kite upon their Reunion, Gem Examines the Wound, Tipping the Creatures Strained Head Upward, With a Gloved Hand.......


Gem Looks around to Survey his Surroundings......

The Coast is Clear, But the Air In this Portion Of the Tunnel is stagnant and Sickening....

A Daggerlike Shortsword is Pulled from Gems Belt....
Looking away to avoid the Grisly Sight, The Dagger-Sword is Plunged Switftly Behind the Writing kobolds ear......

Removing His Shawl, And reducing his Stealth Abilities greatly, Gem Wraps the Body in the Cloak, Slinging it over his Shoulder....

"Ill have to take this thing with me.....Kit and Miss Jenna Will Surely Want to Examine the Wounds he Left....We can Search the Body for Valuables then....We will surely need to Stock up" Gem thought to himself......

While approaching this Gem is met by a strange figure no taller than 3-4 feet in height, a small creature with long ears standing on two legs, two tails can be seen waving and what seem to be huge hands with claws, it's a silouette but it's eyes can be clearly seen as a glowing blood red, the creature stares for a moment then jumps up clining to the ceiling then strangely disappears from sight.

(OOC: everyone please keep in mind that I have school, and that I can not be on all of the time, so please be considerate of my situation.

The Southward Manhole Lies About 70 Feet down the Tunnel, Gem can Tell, And then the tunnel Twists around meandering off after that....

Gem stops at the Base of the ladder, And Hears The Creature Above him, Breathing Heavily....but quietly enough that an Untrained Ear....Prey.....Would not Be Able to Hear it.....

"Here Goes"


Gem Slumps the Corpse of the Kobold over his Shoulders, And Holding His Shorsword/Dagger Gingerly Climbs the ladder...Holding the Blade So that If the Creature Were to Strike, Gem would In turn be Likely to Counter With a Reflexive Stab to The Throat.........


"This would be about Eye level" he thought......

And with that, Gem could feel the Creatures Moist Breath......

Instictivly, Gem Starts Up, as If to Continue Upward......And in an almost Indetectable motion, Lunges His dagger, In a defensive Swipe......
He dosent Connect, But hears The Creature Splash to the Ground....Hissing.....

15 feet to the Top of the Manhole....
Gem Scrambling Can Hear the Scittering Creatures Nails, Tapping the Walls in Prusuit......

Gem Closingin on the Manhole, Gets to the Top, Only to Find that Some Jerk Is Right on Top of the Manhole Cover........

"SOMEBODY OPEN THIS CURSED MANHOLE!!! IM BEING ATTACKED"
Gem HGurredily Uses his dagger to Try and Level the Manhole Up, to Indicate a Dire need tio the Person above

 The man looked at Verde "First off" he spoke "name is Atikkus, second, I was merely protecting those two poor drunks from a inevitable death by your hands. Thirth, the dog's still up." as he said that, the undead wolf jumped at Verde's back again, making him let Atikkus go off. Atikkus turned at the two others. "Again, you do not need to thank me, I was merely doing my job."

(OOC: ... And another 3 pages...)

Verde screws up his face and glances around. "So, here we have two drunks and a necromancer. Anyone else would call this some strange dream. I've seen much in my few years, but I at least know that being surrounded by someone who wields a blade, a skilful knifeman and a master of the dead is a bad place to be in...".

He steps to one side, glancing to each one of the men in turn. "I trained for fifteen years under the late Sage Geriard", he says. "He tought me many things, and I have not forgotten them". He stops pacing, standing directly in front of Locke.

"And I never forget a face".

*Note: Sorry for posting so late, I've been busy, I can't read it all now, but please, oculd someone PM me and help catch up? I guess I'll just post my character's beginning.*

At a summit, a man dressed in a black jacket, with weird glasses, but yet with a sad look on his eyes is standing. That man walks into a village near the summit, where people start to point fingers towards him... "That's him" said a man... "The Kinslayer..." said a woman, with a scared voice. Kinslayer... a vile and sad nickname for that man, who walked without saying a word... The man's name was Anyan. He was a renouned knight, the youngest one to make it in the Order of the Dragon Knights. He could still remember... the day they had entered a village which was rioting against the Royal Family... The screams of the little children... his sword, filled in blood... his eyes, full of tears... loud laughter in the darkness... Anyan closed his eyes for a minute to focus... He needed to leave that place. Anyan hurried out of the village, while those dark memories kept haunting him. Anyan took a path, were he could forget his own sorrow. Anyan kept walking, and everywhere he could hear the people calling his "nickname", that cruel name that was given to him... Anyan kept walking not knowing where to go, and where to forget...

In the sewers everything turns silent, no more sounds other than the average dripping and sloshing of the putrid liquids and debris flowing throughout it's passageways, then the manhole cover is lifted up, met by the familiar red eyes of Kite. He glances upon Gem and chuckles "Thoust looks as if thou hast seen a ghost." he jokes while holding the manhole cover, he seems to be a rather strong man to hold it in such a way.

"I smell blood." He spoke in a strange manner taking notice to the kobold's corpse Gem holds over his shoulder.

Sniffing the air, the lupine responds in retort to the scents, "ugh, such foul stenches.  I  also have to agree, my wolfish brethren has been around here,"  He recalls a previous question from Jenna, "ah m'lady, I forgot to state my name, tsi a cruel humor, my name is Lupine." Lupine gives a sort of sheepish smile.

Kiterius nods "Greetings, my name is Lord Kiterius, and to answer your question m'lady the kobold is indeed dead. Was it gashed by the other lupine?" Questionable on how he knew this but maybe he took notice to it not breathing, but knowing that it was attacked by the lupine...

"I found him in the sewers....He was dying....I had to put the Thing out of its Misery......."
Gem Plops the Kobold down on the Pavement, and draws his bow, Pointing it at the Manho9le Cover....

"Somebody wanna close that thing?!?"

kite, with a forcefull kick, shoves the cover back over the manhole.....

at ease, gem continues.....

"So, I find this Kobold.....Its neck has been chewed....Throat was colapsing......I put it out of its misery, and Brought it with me for the two of you to Examine.....And to thuroughly check for wounds...........then this 'thing' is there.....I dont have a notion as to what it was.....Never seen one before....Ive spent my share of time in the sewers too, Mind you......"

"What did it look like, Gem?" Jenna Inquires, toying with a sprite she had conjured.....(*This seems top be a common habbit in Jenna)

"#, maybe four feet.......Two Tails......Huge Nails.....It crawled along the Ceiling, and it seems to have some hind of Tealth magic in place.....I couldnt make out the face, or colour......It was a hisser though"
Gem Sighs in relief....

"Lets check that Kobold....His neck has been chewed out.....Does that look lupine to you, because it sure as hell does to me."

(( OOC:um I remember stating in the INN not to auto characters, granted I don't know if you had cleared this with Darkfox or Jenna. ))

Lupine falls onto all fours and begins sniffing the kobold body, trying hard not to choke himself on the extra scnet coating the body, "the scnet on the poor kobold's body doth inquire memory."  Lupine sits back with his legs crossed.  Closing his eyes, he scratches the chin of his snout trying to recall that scent.

((OOC: Yeah, but I'll let it pass this time because he did nothing big, and it wasn't out of character so I'm not bothered, how about you Jenna? Somtimes it's neccesary to auto a little bit, maybe exceptions would be a destination, if everybody has decided they'll go then the next who posts part of the group who's going to mentioned destination can do it for them to save the number of posts for somthing as simple as going across the road. A person though must ok it beforehand before they can do this and must be one within the current scene. Dialogue on the otherhand is a hard one to place, somthing to avoid trifling with due to it being difficult to know what another's character thinks. Reactionary is also a hard one. As to finish this, you may post again Gem in order to advance the scene here so it don't get off any further messing over with Drace's and them.))

Lupine mutters to himself, not at Gem's comment he had decided to ignore that altogether, "slightly discolored fur, and a blade scar on his left arm,"  again Lupine falls silent, the rain slows down over time.  Lupine's ears perk up as his eyes snap open, he snaps his fingers," ah ha, twas the foul exiled Bloodviper.  I have not had such a pungent stench fill my nostrils since."  Lupine gain goes on all fours and begisn sniffing the ground, hoping to find the exiled lupine's scent.

{OCC: Yeah I dont mind little actions to keep me from posting it later. But anything else is no no in my book. I too will let that slide, cause its no big deal. I agree with DarkFox, what he said! And man you guys post fast. I am always behind.}

Jenna: "So that is the foul creatures name. Atleast we have more on this Bloodviper. It wont be long before I kill him and bring his body back to my sister."

She places one hand over the dead kobolds body while planting her knees to the ground. A light begins to form around the kobolds body as she focuses most of her energy and life into it.  Quickly her hand slashes a light into the sky above, which seconds later bursts back down into the kobold.

Moments later the Kobold takes a breath before Kit, Gem, and Lupine's eyes.

Jenna: "I thought if I tried an Elven Rebirth spell, he could grant us information before his soul departs. He isnt fully alive, but his soul can now speak to us using his body."

She pauses for a moment then glances closely at the kobold.

Jenna: "Sir, I am sorry to disturb your journey into death, but might you aid us in telling us what happened to you in the sewer? I promise to grant your soul safe passage for eternity whether you help us or not. But if you could so kindly, I would much appriecate it. Oh and if you have any dying wishes, you may request it of us to fulfill them for you."

She gently bows her head, to show grace and respect to the kobold, who's soul she has brought back for a short time.

 Atikkus looked to Verde, his magic was losing it's effect and the wolf was already in process of decomposition again, he thought it was better to get out of there before Verde noticed he was still learning, but first things first "So..." he said "you mean you two know each other?"

Title:
Post by: Dragonium on December 06, 2005, 04:50:56 PM

"If I'm not mistaken", Verde thinks aloud, "This is Locke Phoenix. I remember seeing something about you in...". He stops, deep in thought. After just a few seconds, a yell breaks through the stuffy silence, surprising the brace of people. "That sounds like Rise", he whispers, before breaking into a frantic run back to the campsite.

The ground is littered with leaves and broken branches; the fire is left as a pile of ash and glowing embers; and the young apprentice lies on a crumpled heap of robes at the bottom of a tall cedar. Verde sprints to the boy and tries to help him stand. He is cold and shivering violently, and the breast of his robes are shredded by three deep claw marks. He has a look of utmost terror on his face.

Verde nudges him a few times. "Rise, what happened here, where are the others?!", Verde breathes. Rise shudders violently and collapses onto Verde. "The others went away", he sobs, "And I stayed here, because I thought you'd be back soon, and I heard something, and...". He bursts into tears, and Verde hugs him tightly. He looks up at Locke, John and Attikus. "Where do you think we should go?", he pants.

Title:
Post by: Drace on December 06, 2005, 06:10:47 PM

John searches the ground for clue. "Jinkies! Fred, I found a clue!" The rest of the gang soon get to John. Scooby sniffes the clue. "It went trat way!" and he points his paw in the direction of the scent. Fred looks at the others. "Let's split up gang. Verde, John and me will go this way. Scooby and Attikus will go that way."
A wolf howl comes from the deep forest. Attikus jumps into Scooby's legs. "Wowzers Fred. Wh-wh-what was that?!"
"I dunno, but I think we'll find out soon.
(Sorry, had to do that. Now the real deal is below the line)
___________________________________________________

John crouches and scans the leaves and branches. He then scans the around the dying fire. "Hmmm....," he bends over a bit further and wipes away some of the ashes. "Footprints. They're fresh. I can track these down, though it won't be easy through these woods." Crawling on hands and knees, he searches for the next one.
"Oh yeah. John's a Ranger. He used to track down all sorts of things from humans to bears," Locke says while he followes John.
John stands up and looks at the ground. "At this rate we'll never catch up. If there only was a way I could see those prints better."

Title:
Post by: Dragonium on December 06, 2005, 06:53:35 PM

Verde nods. "Say no more", he says, then bends down on one knee and stares into Rise's eyes hopefully. "Rise, I'm sorry, but I might need my hands. Can you be very brave and hold a light for us while John searches these prints?". Rise shivers and whimpers something unintelligible. "Don't worry", smiles Verde kindly, "There's nothing here that can scare you while we're around you. Rise reluctantly raises his hands, whimpers an incantation, and a light begins to flow across the clearing from his palms.

"Thank you, Rise", says Verde, "John, can you do anything with this?".

Title:
Post by: Drace on December 06, 2005, 07:02:11 PM

After searching the ground and looking at the distance John smiles. "Perfect. As long as the path doesn't wander much of the light, it wouldn't take long. Anyway that light can be controlled?"

Title:
Post by: Dragonium on December 06, 2005, 07:42:19 PM

Verde sighs. "I don't think so. Rise is just an apprentice. Light beams are more difficult than the standard spells that he knows. I can cast a beam somewhere" (He illuminates an owl perched on a nearby tree, making it screech loudly) "But I can't hold it for long. And besides, we don't know what's in those woods". He looks up into the pitch-black sky. "But just as a precaution...". He picks up a nearby stick and taps the end of it; it sparks and splutters, and eventually begins to burn.

He hands the makeshift torch to Locke. "There, I suppose we have enough lights to get to a safer space than this. I just hope we don't meet any resistance on the path". He steps back behind John, taking Rise's free hand and pulling him close. "Off we go", he smiles.

Post by: Drace on December 06, 2005, 08:17:11 PM

Unknow of what's out their, cold and drunk the five of them walk through the big forest following the tracks. The tracks seem to go on forever. They take a left, then a right, then a right, then a left, then a right, then a left, then they go straight on for a mile or so and then go left, and right, and left. They seem to never stop. By now, they have left the forest behind them are walking near mountainous areas. There are still many trees and many creatures to be heard around them, but it seems to get less and less the further they follow the tracks.
"Hey Locke, John, Attikus. Thanks for helping out finding out whoever or whatever did this," Verde says during while they pass a small river flowing between the hills.
"Heh, no problem," Locke says a bit dazed. "I think that alcohol is finally working off."
"Are we close?" Attikus asks John with sneer.
"The tracks seem to become fresher and fresher. It shouldn't take too long." John stops and bends though his knees. He lays his hand on the ground and wipes a few leaves aside. "If you look close enough, you can see there's still a small part of the dirt sliping into the print. That means that it hasn't been here for more than half and hour."
"Ah, good," Attikus says with joy. "I really want to pra... use my Necromancy on something."

 Locke look at him, looking confsed. "I thought you just MOVED the corpse around."
 "A corpse can't move without a soul, so I bring his sould back to him."
 "And the souls agree with that easly."
 Atikkus though for a while. "Well, actually"

Lupine shudders at the kobolds speech, he crawls back over to group.  Lupine stands on his hind legs and holds out a hand to see the item, "may I see the artifact...I know that is what it is.  Blood was exiled for this very reason, taking souls to become stronger,"  Lupines gives a sigh and mutters, "doth the lives he take hath no weight on his soul?"

Jenna: "I shall return in a second."

She gets up and slowly walks into a nearby forest and rests against a tree. Trying to hide her other side, she allows her body into status sleep to avoid detection and releasing her true being that cursed her at birth.

Jenna: "I cant let them find out, I would be out casted....Or worse."

To the untrained eye she looks as if she is resting against a tree peacefully.

Jenna appeared behind Kite and the others without them noticing.

Jenna: "I have 40 Gold Pieces right here."

She hands the 40 Gold pieces to the Inn Keeper and takes the room key. As she begins to walk towards the stairs leading to the deluxe room, she turned to face everyone.

Jenna: "Shall we go take a look at our room?"

They walk upstairs and down a long hall way to room 113. She opened the door to reveal a huge room with 2 bathrooms and 6 beds arranged ever so neatly, without making the room look crowded.

Jenna quickly picked a bed against the wall to the far right corner and climg under the covers and quickly reverted to rest mode.

Verde walks on silently, occasionally tripping over a hidden tree root or half-buried rock. After about ten minutes of marching, the path begins to become rough and difficult. "What's going on", mutters Verde. "Where are we?". John shakes his head. "I'm only following the tracks. Without a map and compass, that's all I can do". Verde rolls his eyes and carries on walking.

A harsh growl comes from the right. Verde spins on his heel and flicks a beam across the trees, casting eerie shadows about the path. Nothing. A bird cries from the canopy of dead trees. The breeze seems to whisper in strange verses. John comes to a halt. "The tracks go down there", he whispers, pointing ahead.

The track dives steeply down into a large-mouthed tunnel. The entrance is decorated with carvings into the brown stone, and two skulls on pikes are placed either side of it. Rise whimpers again. "It's alright, Rise. We're not going in there". He looks around at John, who nods solemnly. "If you want to find out what attacked him and ransacked the camp, and find the others, then we'll have to".

Quietly, Verde nods, and the group descend into the eerie tunnel.

O.o... but seriously we shouldn't even TRY to argue or somthing so senseless, this is for fun for goodness sake -_-')

The group continue to walk through the dank tunnel. Rats scratch here and there, and there is a constant dripping on water from the damp walls. Rise shivers and huddles close to anyone. John stops again. "Hey", he calls, pointing ahead, "What's that?".

Before the party lays a corpse. It's chest ripped open with a stence of dead emerging from it. The ribs, broken off. No legs nor arms can be find and it's face and skull is unidentifieable.
"What foul beast could have done this?" Locke asks himself.
"I don't know," John replies. "Let's just hope it's only one as this corpse seems to be lying here for a while. It might be hungry."
"Then why didn't it dragged Verde's apprentice to it's lair?" Locke wonders. He blinks his eyes, grabs his bottle of water, takes a sip and draws his Demon Sword. "Let's head down these caves to find whatever's lurking inside."
The party continues into the dark caves, only their flame to keep the light in.

 Atikkus looked to him "Remember when you asked 'What foul beast could have done this', about that skeleton?" Locke nodded "So?".
 "So I decided to ask him." Atikkus showed what he was holding, it was the corpse's head.

   Flames lick the night sky as they strive to survive the rain, standing amist the burning buildings is the cloaked man.  lying about him in twisted shapes and forms are burned bodies.  Crackling of inferno split wood echos through the falling droplets, a cough rouses the man's attention, walking over to the point of origin reveals that the sounds came from a poor child burned heavily on his left side, along with patches along his right arm.  Looking into the child's eyes life seems to be struggling within him, kneeling down the figure lays his right hand over the child's throat, the sound of snapping bone and cartalige overcome the flame and die away quickly, leaving the body lifeless and broken.  removing his hand the man stands up slowly, stretching out his right arm with his hand vertical, chanting begins to come from him.


   Lupine walks into the inn and immediatly drops on all fours to shakes the water from his fur, he watches as his companions go about their own little tasks, deciding that rest was a better option he crawls over to a corner and curls up as comfortably as possible, avoiding as much stress on his ribs as he can.  Lupine begins to doze as ghost words begins to chant around him, his ears fall back and he snaps his head up and looks about.  The words fade and he comes to realize that he is the only one hearing these words, he shrugs it off as stress and rests his head down again.  Soon after the words return, but more audible and clear, again his head shoots up yet the words do not fade, he asks uneasily, "doth any of thou hear words coming not from a mouth?"  Lupine has yet to realize that he is the only one that hears this chanting, he also fails to realize that the gold tint to his fur has returned, as well as his eyes goign ferral red.

In one of the bathrooms water is heard as well as Kite mumbling things "Old man, can't this wait? I've been in a sewer for goodness sake, and I'm about to rest..." there is a momentary silence "I know my duties are to protect the land so this curse can be lifted from me, blah blah blah... and ok, OLMAN! Happy? ...say what? Huh? That can't be, I just checked there yeste... it isn't my fault!" inaudible mumbles are heard and a few growls.

Gem, awakedned, by the sudden shift in the lupines stature, sees the look in the lupines eyes......without hesitation, he grabs his shortsword from the his belt, on his pile of clothing beside the bed, and takes a defensive stance at the sight of a possible ferral lupine.........

"Be at ease, dog-man........your posture puts me at odds with comfort...." Gem speaks loudly, to attract the attention of the resting companiaons...

A rather kidlike scratchy tone is heard from a nearby window "It be only a problem if thou make it filthy human." The three-foot tall creature from the sewers is perched in the window it appears that it's claws were actually huge spiked pawlike gloves strapped to it's arms and it's eyes burn with a wild look with vertical pupils, it's fur is a greenish and it has 3 black marks under each of it's eyes, it's ears are erect and long, it's tails flip about wildly, it's feet are big, somewhat like a kangaroo, or a squirrel and seems semi-humanoid, it's eyes seem direct but it's stance is a little too calm and confident. "If it wasn't for my bindings thine kind would not be allowed to filth the air with each vile breath."

Lupine becomes confused, "what do you mean? I-" it soon danws on him at his posture, as well as his lack of civilized thought.  Without realizing sudden lurch foreward, he notices Gem's stance become even more defensive, through Lupine's ferral eyes it can be seen him pleading for Gem to get away.

with a swift double take of the unfolding events, gem ducks, and rolls, srouding himself in his cloak,  Sword still at the ready...

The roll is dodge to the side....flanking the lupines lurch forward, and clearing the strike path of the humanid creature.....

a loud battlecry streams from the pit of gems lungs.....


"GWWAAAAARRRRR" (ooc: I love gwar)

"KITE, JENNA!!!!"



Clearing the lurch, gem pounces the back of the lupine, in its re-assesment of balance, after its initial pounce......Gem now has the stuggling lupine in a  un certain neck lock.

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 08, 2005, 06:10:51 AM

Lupine let's out a howl, and jerks hard to the side in attempts to throw Gem off.  Seeing as this does not work, Lupine stands up quickly, though with so much force it cause him to lose balance and fall backwards.  Though he is losing his mind he has yet to grab hold of Gem.

with a quick, clean reversal, gem is atop the lupine, with its head wrapped in gems now removed cloak......retraining the forelimbs and teeth of the beast........Gems head is back, frantically searching for the bi-tailed creature that was in the window.....




"KIIIITE!!! JENNNNAAA!!!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR HORRID CANINE FRIEND, COME NOW......."
Gem stands, his foot atop the cloak restraining the lupine, at a more devensive advantage over any further attack......

The creature laughs "Overzealous mortal, thou should haft take cover rather than playing the stupid hero. Doest thou not realize the lupine is not in control or do I have to beat sense into your thick skull?" With that the creature unperches and stares into Lupine's eyes.

In the moment the creatures gazr is locked on the unknown foe, gem, bolts, snagging his blade on his cloak so to pick it up in his retreat from this part of the room........

With a leap, gem hast cleared the bedd, and lands low to pick up his quiver on the floor, un strapps his bow, and while turning, draws the composite bow, armed for a fire.......to gems left, is the Washroom door......With kite.....Jenna is not in the Room.....

  Residing within Lupine's eyes revals something that should not be there, another presence, another power.  Through the red and primal eyes still shines Lupine wishing he could regain control, though this chanting is driving him further into a fabricated madness. Lupine crawls away from both the creature and Gem as far away as he can, his growls warning thme not to come any closer.  Within The fightinh mind of the wolf man, the chanting becomes louder and more detramental, moving to his knees Lupine grabs the sides of his head and lets out a howl of pure anguish.
   The blue fades completely from the fur and is quickly replaced with gold,  Lupine finally loses conciousness and falls limp to the floor.  Before their eyes his body begins to float in the air, to the outside eye he looks as if to be possesed but within his wounds begin to heal at a rapid rate.  As his wounds heal up, the gold fades back to blue and his physcial appearance seems to increase in muscle mass.  once the event has passed Lupine's body floats back towards the floor, though he still remains unconcious.

"I would say the same to you, vile creature......what plane would one as yourself reside from......Tell me your name and business....

Gem glances fleetingly at the overly muscled lupine on the ground.......and swallows a lump in his throat"

Gems shorsword is on the ground, a foot in front of gem....it was dropped upon drawing his bow......

The creature grunts putting it's right hand to his head "Thoust truly are as dense as I expect from a vile vermin of a race... nevermind... I am a great beast demon of emense power... or at least... that be what I used to be... now I am an imp, cursed to a cute and cuddly form but bring no thoughts of advantage to mind human... I am still the one with an upper hand... I simply choose not to attack... because unlike you, I have restraint... as for the lupine, he is out cold... think of it this way... if it wasn't for me, thoust would likely be shredded."

The creature grinned "Oh yeah, does it bear true that at certain instances human's eat their own? Truly disgusting..." With that insult the creature turns around and gets ready to walk away.
"Thoust should be grateful... that I be a guardian... even if I am likeing it not... it is because of thou's race I live without a kind in this realm... overzealous humans like thous' own self most likely wiped them out..." the creature jumped to the window's edge. "...Leave the lupine be, understood or should I train you to understand words?" The creature's harsh words reveal an anger toward humanity not far dissimilar to Gem's aggressive bias toward lupines.

The company stop walking. "Attikus, you can't just walk around doing that. Carrion attracts bigger, nastier predators, everyone knows that". Quickly, an argument breaks out within the group. "Are you trying to get us all killed?", yells Verde, harmonising with the whimpers of Rise.

The fight grows, and in a moment of panic, Rise stands on tiptoe and whispers something to Verde, who quickly stops yelling, eyes wide. Locke, John and Attikus continue to argue. Verde raises his hands, silencing them.

"I am prepared to listen to your comments, Attikus. However, John, you may be able to answer the questions which I have. Firstly, Attikus may have the creature's skull. However, he did not kill it. He did not remove its limbs". His voice drops slightly. "I am no expert, but even I know that to simply remove a skull without making any sound or effort, requires for the creature's head to have already been severed".

John opens his mouth to speak, but Verde silences him again. "And what", he whispers, turning round and firing a beam of light down the passageway, illuminating a dozen more mangled corpses like the first one, "Did all this?".

Locke looks down the cave. At the bodies, at the blood. Fear and dead in their eyes.
"I... I... I don't know..." John says, looking down at the ground."
"This tracking has gone long enough!" Locke shouts. "Everyone grabs any piece of weapon he can find. We're going down these mines to search whatever did this and cut off it's head!" Locke picks up a shield he can find and pulls of a helmet from a rotting skull. He turns around and looks at the others, after which to turn around and walking into the dark mines.

A young woman screaming, followed by what sounds like an incantation by an old man, echoes from deeper within the caves. The darkness ahead is briefly illuminated by a flash of purple light, accompanied by the sound of the stagnant cave air flowing forward.

Title:
Post by: Dragonium on December 08, 2005, 08:20:49 PM

The purple flash seems to blast a path through the dust and gloom. The company brace themselves against the attack, which has no effect as it carries up the cave. It is accompanied by a peculiar whispering voice, which radiates inside Verde's mind...

"You did it..."

The voice is sharp and sly, and Verde blinks and gasps as it continues to speak.

"There is another in this cave, who did it... And you..."

"No", whispers Verde, catching John's attention.

"The one who brought you into the world... Who died by your hand...

Verde growls and kneels down; the group stand back to give him space, and Locke tries to pull him back up. The magician becomes limp and lifeless, and collapses onto the muddy floor.

"But you... You were trained by Geriard..."

Panicked yells fill the air, as Verde's vision becomes impossibly hazy...

"You knew he was only better than you because of that Gauntlet of his... And you had to have it, didn't you...?"

"No...".

"And you mustered your strength... You killed him... You took his Gauntlet... And you ran... Ran like a coward, away from poor dying daddy..."

Verde growls again, which rapidly becomes a yell.

Geriard and father were the same person, weren't they?".

The world begins to turn black...

"You're a murderer, Verde... And it'll destroy you..."

Jenna finally awakens form her rest, only to find herself in clouded darkness.

Jenna: "What the hell? Ah crap, Dark Magic!"

She begins to run in unknown directions looking for a way out. Her mind raced with angry thoughts towards the person who dare use dark magic upon her.

Seeming lost beyond words, she stops and sits in the center of the vortex.

Jenna: "Ok, I can figure this out....I hope!"

Her mind slows down in attempt to meditate through the dark vortex in hopes to back fire the spell.

Locke slams his shield against one of the walls.  "Argh!" he grunts. "What foul beast may lurk down these mines will be brutally murdered by the touch of my sword!" Locke runs further into the mine and finally vanishes out of sight.
John looks at Attikus and thinks for a while, trying to dig up the name he gave him while they were tracking. "Artikus, was it?"

Anyan kept walking, now into a valley, where the beauty of the snowy mountains eased a bit the pain inside Anyan's heart and mind. There, Anyan started to wander, watching all the beauty of nature sorround him. Soon, Anyan found himself in front of a huge cavern (Note: the mine where Drace's and other characters are). "What is this place?" whispered Anyan, surprised by the size of the entrance. Anyan touched the wall beside the mountain, and after removing some dust, he found some scripts...
"This..." said Anyan "... is written in dwarvish! This is a dwarven mine!". Suddenly, he heard a scream, from the deep. "Something is in there!" he said. He touched his old sword, the one known as the Dragon Breath, given only to the Elite Knights of the Dragon Order... After closing his eyes for a moment, he hurried into the mine. Anyan kept running towards the sounds, deep in the darkness. Soon, he found a man with a shield. "What is going on?!" screamed Anyan. Soon, a purple beam hit him and he felll on the floor. He heard a voice...

 "You have a name... another name that you hate with your very heart..."

Anyan kneeled.

 "Yes, people saw you, with your sword filled in blood of inocents..."

Anyan screamed, holding his head between his hands: "That's nonsense! I didn't kill anyone!"

 "Too bad the world doesn't hear you... you lost everything, you have disgraced your name... KINSLAYER!!!"

Anyan lost his senses: "DO NOT CALL ME THAT NAME!!!!!! WHO DARES TO PUT JUDGEMENT ABOVE THE ACTIONS OF MINE?! THE NAME KINSLAYER WAS GIVEN! NOT PUT BY ME! DIE!!! DIE!!!! DIE!!!!!"

Anyan ran towards the beast, with his eyes filled of tears and the Dragon Breath in his hands... Anyan didn't know what was the beast like, he couldn't really describe what he was killing, striking over and over, again and again with his sword, while hearng the beast still talking inside his head: "Kinslayer... Kinslayer" it kept saying, until the creature's head was off... Anyan kept striking the dead body, while the other people looked at him, in mixed feelings of pity and fear...

After what seems like hours, Verde wakes.

He peers about, loking at the roof, with stalactites hanging from it. John is leaning over him, and Attikus is handing John a handful of herbs. "These should revive him", mumbles the Necromancer. John waves them around Verde's face, and the magician sits up and coughs to dispel the pungent aroma. He sees the concerned faces of the company. "Wh... What... Happened to me...?", he whispers.

"You said some... Things...", mutters John, averting his eyes. Verde nods, knowing exactly what he means. He tries to stand, finding his feet with a little difficulty. "I feel I should explain myself. I cannot go any further with you all without you knowing what I am...", he sighs.

"I have already told you that I was trained by Sage Geriard... But he was not my master. He was my father. I was ashamed of him. He would boast, lie, and insult others who had weaker skills than his. Which was everyone. He always pretended that he was better. 'Ah, son, you have much to learn before your weakness will become strength like mine', he would say. I hated him". Verde wobbles on his feet, and leans on a pillar of rock to steady himself.

"But I knew more. He was only skilled because of this old thing". He pulls out the rustic gauntlet from his knapsack. "This is the Gauntlet of Iridon. It is an ancient artifact, which enhances the magical power of the user. Geriard bought it from a black market trader for a handsome sum. He always used it. He was only better than I was at magic because of it. I do not wish to be complacent, but my father was one of the world's greatest magicians, and I was more skilled than he was. He couldn't afford to have anyone beat him... Even his own son...". Verde slides down the rock wall, and covers his face with his hands.

"In the end, I could take no more. I summoned all the strength I had, and blasted him with everything I had. He died before I could feel any regret. I snatched his gauntlet, and I ran. I made it look like an accident. I'm a murderer and a thief. That is all I am".

He stands and pushes out his chest, taking a deep gulp of air. "I hope you will not judge me on my past", he says. Another scream from the woman echoes down the passageway, alongside more mutterings from the old man. Wide cracks begin to appear in the walls. From the direction of the entrance, a man can be heard yelling. "DO NOT CALL ME THAT NAME!", screams the voice.

"I think we should split up", says John. "Me and Locke will go on ahead, and you and Attikus go back to the entrance".

"There is another in this cave, who did it..."

"No", says Verde. "I will go ahead. The rest of you see what that yelling is about. I will not be long". With those words, the magician disappears into the gloom of the mines...

Deeper within the caves, a pair of red eyes glow as a young woman screams in pain - though in the dim light radiating from a floating object of some sort, she appears to be in no physical harm.

"Come back to your senses!" the hidden old man says. "We need to escape from this place!"

"But... but..." the woman stammers. "He's coming for me..."

"Which is why we need to run away!" Another flash of purple light illuminates the cave, making the woman cry out. The floating object, which appears to be an ornate shield, quickly flashes red, sending a stream of fire at an evil-looking creature with a bear-like body but the head of a man. The magic fire singes the beast's fur, causing it to snarl in pain and recoil a bit.

"Reyt, come!" the man calls, though there appears to be no man within the cave. The shield begins to float to the exit a few feet back, but the woman is immobilized by fear. She starts crying uncontrollably, and the beast takes a few steps forward. The shield flashes again, and a bubble of energy forms around the woman, protecting her from the beast's attack.

"Oh please god no..." the woman mutters. "Don't do that to me..."

Verde slides down a muddy slope, sending pebbles crashing down onto the floor. "Ah, it seems that we have a problem", he mutters as he slips on Iridon once again. He sprints forward, ready to spring into action, whilst forming a lightning spell in his head, when he is struck by a glancing blow to the head and slides into a heap.

He sits up aggressively, ready to cast towards the object that struck him, when the floating shield whirrs past him again; Verde jumps to his feet, dodging the shield. The bear-bodied creature roars menacingly as the magical artifact whips around the room. "That's some artifact", mutters Verde, "Such a shame I'm busy".

His eyes meet with the young woman, encased in the bubble. He sees the look of fear in her eyes.

"There is another in this cave, who did it..."

"Shut up", mutters Verde, shaking his head. He raises his hand, forms a fireball, and launches it towards the beast.

Locke wanders through the mine. Signs of Dwarves are hidden behind blankets of dust. He's lost. "Locke, fool. You shouldn't have gone in alone. I don't think anyone will find you again Locke."
Locke enters a large open spot in the mines. It seems to be some sort of meeting place of the Dwarves. Old walls and stairs are standing, while others have crumbled. Walking through it, he feels something's near.
In all suprise, a cloaked man jumps towards him and slashes with a giant sword. "A Katana," Locke thinks and he makes a roll to the right.
The cloaked man looks at him.
"Locke, make me feel it! Make me feel alive again!" he shouts and rushes towards Locke.
"No!" shouts Locke with anger all through his voice. "How can this be happening again?!" The Katana scratches against his shield. A sudden slash with his sword through the man and it disappears in a smoke.
Locke fears the presence so near to him and drops to his knees. His sword drops on the ground. "Why?" he says silently to himself. "Why?!?!?!"

"Adventurer, get out of here." the old man says to Verde. "The caves are on the verge of collapsing, and the magic power released by this fight is the last straw. Myself and Reyt will be fine, but I fear for the rest of your group..." The shield flashes white, temporarily stopping the beast. "However, I cannot leave you to die, so I will help you destroy this beast." The shield floats toward Verde. "Attack as you normally would without a floating shield in your way. I will cast as much support as I can handle."

Anyan stood on his feet, watching what was left of the creature... He realized that he had lost his senses. "What... have I DONE???!!!" he said, desperate. Soon, he got up and heard a harsh sound... "The walls are... collapsing? A dwarven mine is collapsing?! What is this place?!". Soon he heard the same voice from before...

 "This place is meant for brave ones..."

"Wha...?" said Anyan, surprised "I killed you!!! I KILLED YOU!!! Where art thou hiding, foul creature of darkness!!! Face my sword, the Dragon Breath, coward!!! SHOW THY FACE!!!"

 "Face? The only face that I see here is yours... you killed a son of mine, you killed a very young one of us... a BOY"

"No... it cannot be..." said Anyan "This is impossible!!! you are deceiving me!!! Where are you, evil spirit?! Let me face you!!!"

 "You are in no position to order me around... Kinslayer"

"I said that you must not call me that name!!!" Anyan seemed more desperate than before.

 "Why, I believe it fits you, assasin of children..."

Anyan couldn't answer. He ran into the caves, with his eyes full of tears. He kept running until he met up with a horrifying look... an enormous beast attacking a group. Anyan drew his sword, he saw an old man stippoing the creature with his magic...
"May I be of service?!" screamed Anyan. He was willing to help this group.

The cave begins to collapse. "I've got to get out of here," Locke says to himself. Locke turns around and follows the path he took to get where he came. But to the point where John and the others were, stood a horrible beast.
"Thou shall taste the sharp side of my blade, fiend," raising his sword, he runs towards the beast. With a shout of adreneline running through his body. Then it all turns black in front of his eyes.

(OOC: Grandy, it looks like two. One that Verde, Anyan and my group is fighting, and one that the others are fighting.)


The floating shield flashed a brighter white than before, stopping everyone in their tracks. "Stop, all of you. Your foolishness will get you killed! We must evacuate these caves immediately!" The old man's enchanment quickly wears off, and the shield begins to move toward the exit. The young woman, still encased in a magical bubble, floats after it.

 Atikkus looked as the shield passed by, followed shortly bafore the girl floating in the magic ball. "......and later on they say that US necomancers bend nature rules." He starts running outside as he notices the cave is (for lack of a better word) going BOOM.

Post by: Dragonium on December 09, 2005, 09:49:34 PM

Verde chases after the girl in the floating orb. The cave behind seems to warp and distort as the walls and ceiling crash together. Finally, a flicker of light shows through the falling dust. Seizing his chance, Verde springs forward, in an attempt to seize one of the woman's feet; he misses, and slides into the dusty floor.

For a few seconds, he lies there, staring at the ceiling, which seems to be getting blurry. He quickly realises that this is because the stalactites are moving closer to his face. He stands up quickly, being careful to avoid the cracking beams which hold up the roof, and peers around. The young woman is nowhere to be seen, but there are shouts from outside. "One, two, three, four, five...", whispers Verde, counting the survivors. "But, that's not right. There were five of us".

At that, one of the beams cracks completely, and the ceiling collapses a couple of inches. A figure wanders aimlessly past, stumbling over rocks and fallen stalactites which have pinned into the mud floor. He mutters something incoherent, and does not seem to be able to see the path ahead. A deep roar echoes down the tunnel, but the figure does not hear it. Locke. Verde seizes his arm, and pulls him toward the light, just as the ceiling begins to give way.

As Verde and Locke jump from the caves, the entrance collapses in upon itself in a deafening roar. The floating shield turns to the group, apparently observing it.

"Is this your entire group?" it asks; the voice seems to be coming directly from the shield.

Post by: Darkfox on December 10, 2005, 05:43:39 PM

Back at the inn, the imp finally answers in a tone of urgency.

"I know a many of killers, but I am currently torn between multiple objectives and have no time to explain... as a guardian I haveth no choice else I'll feel the consequences..."

With that he jumps out the window seeking the point at which the disturbances reside.

Title:
Post by: Kinslayer on December 10, 2005, 05:56:30 PM

Anyan watches the shield, then he watches the group and says: "I do not seem to understand... is this shield speaking? What is the meaning of this?". The other people from the group watched Anyan. "Ahem... it is obvious that I must introduce myself... Where did I leave my modals? My name is Anyan Leddwick, I used to be a knight at the Reign of Endora, far North from here... Who do I have the pleasure to meet?".

Post by: Dragonium on December 10, 2005, 06:17:26 PM

"I am Verde", proclaims the mage. "Verde Rezen. You may have heard of me. I am here, since one of those things in there attempted to eat my apprentice". He leans against a tree, and waits for the others to speak.

Locke looks dazed out his eyes and remains silent.
"I'm John, a ranger. And this is Locke, one of the royal knights. And yes, a talking shield is quite strange."

Title:
Post by: Grandy on December 10, 2005, 07:53:31 PM

 A voice came from somewhere in the darkness. "You have the pleasure to meet a very confused necromancer, who just saw a talking shield and a floating ball girl, and is right now stuck unders some stones, HELP!"

Title:
Post by: WarxePB on December 10, 2005, 11:00:26 PM

"An interesting group, indeed..." A transparent figure of an old man dressed in a black robe appears over the shield. "My name is Ferrh. I was once a human, but I was sealed away within this shield... well, it doesn't matter why. My young apprentice over there is named Reyt." He turns around to face the young woman, who is unconcious and spead ouit on the ground. "We went in that cave to investigate the beast, who had been apparently attacking people from the village just southeast of here. Now that it's taken care of, we can collect our bounty from the chief." The figure of the old man disappears, and the shield turns back to the group. "This has been quite the ordeal, I would imagine, so I shall pay for one night at the inn for all of you."

John tries to pull away a rock but fails to do so. "You know, this really isn't a one-man job..."

Title:
Post by: Kinslayer on December 11, 2005, 12:59:03 PM

Anyan helped John to move the rock. "Sorry, wise wizard" said he to the necromancer "I had not seen you, my mistake. Now, how about if we all go to that village? After all these... conflict we need some rest... Those beasts in there, quite mysterious... right?".

Post by: Dragonium on December 11, 2005, 03:20:10 PM

"Yes", mutters Verde, turning in the direction of the village, "I could do with a rest, and visiting a library would not be a bad idea. Come, Rise". He takes Rise's hand, and walks away in the direction of the village gate.

Title:
Post by: Kinslayer on December 11, 2005, 09:28:20 PM

Anyan walked along with the group towards the village. The voice of the creature kept sorrounding his thoughts, now he was even more sad than before... "What... was that thing?" was the thought in Anyan's head. He kept his look on the floor and walked into the inn. He went into his room and locked himself up, to practice his swordskills. Then he heard a familiar voice outside...
"I know you... Anyan Leddwick..."
All Anyan said was: "Is that you... Lenan?"

With the Imp gone, Gem drops his bow to the floor, and picks up his shortsword.....
Walking over to the unconcious lupine, Gem kneels down before it.....Shortsword not bared, but ready if needed.....Gem Tries, Gingerly to awaken the lupine..........

"Where the hell did our allies go, dog-man?" Gem spoke softly to himself......

And with that, Gem Left his room, to search for Kite and Jenna.....This place is not safe......and if he had his way now, Gem would rather be sleeping outdoors.

 Atikkus was in the Inn with the others, but he isolated him in his room to take care of the damages that rock made in his arm. He stoped, and snapped his fingers, a dead spider that was in the floor woke up and brought him some bandages. "Thanks, rest in peace." the spider died again. He looked throught the window. And then heard a voice from behind. "Hey." he looked surprised, but no one was in the room, "Hey, over here!" he looked to the table, the head of the corpse was there "'Cmon, what do you want?" Atikkus looked surprised "How did... I couldn't call you before!" the head looked around "Well, I had things to do!"
 "No, you hadn't, you're dead, for God's sake! You don't have anything else to do!"
 The skull looked bored.
 "And thats the problem." it blinked (or at least it would, if it had eyes) "I am-" it took a long breath (or at least it would, if it had to breath) "I WAS an adventurer, not a good one, but still an adventurer. See, that thing in the cave killed me. So I supposed I could warn whoever went that way about the monster, but no one would ever listen to me!"
 "They couldn't." Atikkus replied "Most people can't see or hear ghosts."
 "And that's exactly why it took me so long to be called here. See, I was tired to stand in the same place, so I decided to travel, when you called me, it took sometime to my soul to get back here." it took another fictional long breath "So, what ya called me for?"
 "Eh, sorry, the problem was already solved."
 "Okay, look, it's hard to sleep eternaly, so if you could not call me again for no reasons, I would be grateful."
 "No problem, won't happen again."
 "Good. Goodbye." it stoped movieng, Atikkus got up and was going to bury it outside, when it started moving again. "Hey, just, how was my body when you found it?"
 Atikkus thought in the best word to describe it. "In pieces."
 It seemed that thew skull was a little disapointed. "Just that?"
 "Yup, just that. Why?"
 "Well, nothing is that... I would like to people to remember me as someone who died a horrible way... you know, that thing about being famous after death..."
 Atikkus thought for a while "Okay, if someone asks me, your body was completaly mutilated."
 "Promisse?"
 "Promisse."
 "Well, thanks a lot, bye." it stoped moving again, Atikkus got out and buried it. When he was going back in, he had to agree with something Locke said. "I seriously have to stop doing that all the time."

The imp from before comes down from a tree, apparently was passing by at the time, and looks at where the head was buried with a funny look on his face. "That was a human... hhead... that was... a huuuuman h-head..."

Searchin Frantically to find the other members of his group, Gem Comes across Jennas room....Everything feels slightly amiss.....A gentle know from gem brings no response......
"Miss jenna....are you decent-" Gem enters the room and Finds Jenna suspended in a cloud of dark Magic....


Withdrawing a pouch of Small stones and Herbs gem utters with a single breath "What transpires here, that so much vile follows me and my cohorts....Miss jenna, Ill have you out in no time.."

Gem holds the bag of Stuff to his mouth, and Breathes in the Air, through the bag, using it as a Sort of breath mask.......Gem then Extends His hand to touch Jenna Gently on the shoulder, as a Faint white Glow Emits from the tips of Gems Outstrectched Hand....

The imp's ears twitched "Huh?" and with that he rushed back to the direction of the Inn.

At the inn, Kite rushed from the bathroom dressed in some shirt and pants of the time his hair messed up entering the room, "What is going on here!?" he cried out noticing Gem "Eh? What are you reaching for?"

Still focusing on repelling the Dark Magic Vortex, Jenna stands up in rage and starts throwing blasts of field magic into the center of the vortex, in attempt to break out.

Jenna: "This is so stupid! There has to be a weak point somewhere near the center."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 12, 2005, 04:54:01 AM

"I see the vile disturbance, do not worry thyself, I have dealt with dark magic whencefor!" Kite, saying that, examines the vortex, his hands glow with a red aura, he positions himself and gives a few jabs at the vortex trying to get Jenna's attention.

Title:
Post by: Arcanagirl on December 12, 2005, 05:13:41 AM

Simmering down, she gently places her hand close to where her feet are, and pushes a force blast through the vortex.

Jenna: "Bout time!"

She is released from the magic Vortex and falls to the ground. Getting up form her position she dusts off her body and shakes her hair.

Jenna: "So, what did I miss?"

"Wow, I must hath hit it harder than I thought" Kite joked then he takes notice to his messy appearance making him look less royal and much more normal except for his green hair and weird red eyes, the shape of his ears more obvious now. "Gah, I look awful!"

 back in the room, Lupine begins to stir slowly, he groans as conciousness comes back to him.  slidding his right arm under him, Lupine props himself up, he begins to look up but recoils down from the throbbing pain in his head, "ah, did someone hit me with a log?"  He looks for an answer but soon notices no one is in the room.
 Lupine slowly gets to his feet the faint sounds of the chanting linger within his ears.  Taking a step foreward, Lupine falls to his knees, it also seemed he was weak from the drain of the process.  Lupien again rises to his feet, he slowly walks out into the halway, wondering where Gem, Kite, or Jenna are.

Post by: Darkfox on December 12, 2005, 05:28:49 AM

"It seems he's awake and very weak." Unknown how Kite knows this, nor why his ears are the odd way they are he walks in search for Lupine.

Before Leaving the Room, Gem pops his head out the Window, and Gives a High pitched toot of a Tiny whistle Hanging from his lanyard......

Two more short blasts accompany.....And Gem proceeds Out of the Room, following the Group, In search of the Lupine.....

"Creepy little man, with his twitchy ears.....I hope the Lupine turns on those silly ears next.....then he wont be so damned trusting of those vile dogs....." Gem mutters to himself...

Kite, However, Hears....

"What was that, youre blathering about?"Kite asks..

Outside the Inn, the young woman Reyt and the floating shield Ferrh sat, discussing something.

"We need not get involved with these adventurers... they are not the most trustworthy bunch I've seen." Ferrh remarked.

"But... well, they're all so cute..." Reyt said. "Let's just stick around a while longer... please?"

"...as you wish." Ferrh dropped to the ground, losing the magical light that encompassed him. Reyt picked him up, and stepped into the Inn. She turned left, looking at the attached Pub.

"Wonder if they'll let me in..." she wondered. She set Ferrh on her back, and stepped into the Pub.

"Hey, little girly. You're too young to be in here!" the barkeep remarked.

"I'm 26!" Reyt shot back. "I'll have a drink if I damn well want to!"

"Whoa, there... didn't mean to offend ya, miss." the barkeep muttered. Reyt jumped on a barstool, and grabbed a mug filled to the brim with yellow-brown alcohol, and drained it in one gulp.

"Is that the strongest stuff ya go-" In mid-sentence, she passed out and fell off her stool. The barkeep chuckled, and motioned at one of the men at a table. The man in question - a dark-skinned orange-haired man wearing brown clothing and a matching wide-brimmed hat - stepped over to Reyt, picked her up, and set her by the door.

"Good boy." the barkeep laughed.

"...Just wait. I'll pay my debt off soon..." the man remarked.

"Yeah, in twenty years!" The entire bar began to laugh. "Don't worry Yue, your efforts are always appreciated," he joked.

An old man sits at one of the seats in the pub, he's bald, his eyes squint nearly shut, he has a long white beard and has a long beard, around a foot in length, he wears a gray and white hooded cloak, he raises his head up taking notice to Yue and the barkeep. "What is that supposed to mean?" he muttered "In any case... have you seen a man who looks in his twenties with shiny green hair? You might know him as some lord of these parts... his eyes red as blood..."

 Atikkus took care of his wounds, but it leaved a huge scar in his arm, he didn't had anything to do, so he walked down to the bar. The barkeep looked to him, "So, what'll be? Beer?"
 "Orange juice, please."
 The barkeeper looked amused, it was abovious no one asked orange juice in there for a long time.

Lenan entered Anyan's room, with an enormous warrior beside him.
"It's good to see you old general..." said the man, with his bright red hair.
"Garlyn... you have not changed a bit." said Anyan "But... what are you two doing in here? Do you intend to keep haunting me? Have you not done enough...?".
Lenan sat on the bed, Garlyn stood by the door. The wizard looked at Anyan for a second and said: "Now, let us get into business... Kinslayer..." Anyan couldn't even scream. He was paralized in a mixed feeling of fear and anger. "Do not call me that name... You know that I was tricked..." Lenan layed back for a while and said "You know that no one has more proof than your sword filled with blood and the bodies of little kids around you..." Anyan stood on his feet, angry, and got his sword quickly. By the time he put his sword in Lenan's neck, Garlyn got his spear and pointed it towards Anyan's chest. They stood for a while like that. Then, Anyan said: "My sword shall stain itself with your blood, you traitorous snake!!!" Lenan laughed and said: "You'll become more wanted than what you are now... Anyan Leddwick." Garlyn had a fierce look on his face. "You have not killed for a while, eh, barbarian?" said Anyan, then Garlyn said: "It is true that the fun of killing has not been pretty common this days, but maybe I'll have fun today!" Them both took their weapons and kept them safe. Lenan said to Anyan: "Both Garlyn and I are going to go with you. We want to see how do you clean your name". Anyan laughed and said: "Right! And you will leave me, like you did at that battle! You didn't even defend me!!! And I thought you where my friends!!!"
"But we could not tak, there are powers beyond your imagination, Anyan, that wanted to take you down. Your name, your family, your blood, they have a strong story, as does your money" said Lenan "We'll go with you, like it or not..." Anyan sat and said: "Fine, but I'll not travel alone with you... I will see if someone can come with us". Then, the three of them got out of the room and went downstairs, there, Anyan, Lenan and Garlyn went to the barkeeper, where Atikkus was sitting, drinking his juice.

Verde is sleeping deeply in an antique armchair, in the corner of the village's library. An empty bottle of beer is on the table, and he has a thick, leather-bound tome resting in the crook of his arm, encased in a thick layer of dust. The chair is surrounded by shelves, and the air smells of fruit and some kind of festive spice.

Rise, dressed in a clean set of robes, scurries in, and bangs on the table. Verde stirs, and mutters something incoherent. "You shouldn't be drinking beer", says Rise, "You know it makes magic harder to control. And if you're sleeping, it'd be better at the Inn. And they have clean robes, too". Verde sits up wearily and groans, attempting to focus on something. He looks at the book, staring into it, and trying hard to read the runes scrawled onto the page. "Yes, Rise, I'm going", sighs Verde. "Thank you. I'm glad you're being responsible for me. Keep up with your studies, there are some good books here".

Verde turns, and pads out of the library, silently stuffing the book under his cloak as he does so.

John entered Locke's room and noticed Locke standing in front of the window.
"Locke. What's wrong? You've been silent since we got out of the cave." John waits a short while for an answer, but it didn't came. "I'll leave you alone," he says and leaves the room.
Locke's eyes... are fire-red. In the far distance, is a mountain. Locke opens his mouth slowly. "Soon," he says in a deep, evil voice. "Soon, I'll save the world from it's suffering and pain." Locke grabs his sword and the shield and walks out of the Inn... towards the church.
After a short walk, he arrives. In front of him is a giant, old, decading building. An owl's sound is heard from the distance. The sky turns dark, rain drops from the sky like hail. Locke laughs in a dark way. With his sword in hand, he enters the church. In search of the Priest. "The blood of the good will spill today," he says whiles approaching the Priest. "And you're getting the honor to be the first one in my path of freedom."

 Atikkus was sleeping in the bar, the barkeeper looked worried to him. "He is the first person I ever seen who gets drunk by drinking grape juice!" Atikkus took his glass of grape juice, and raised it high, looed to the rest of the bar "To the revolution!" and fell down of his chair. The barkeep brought him to his room.

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 12, 2005, 07:08:42 PM

"What is freedom?" The priest said, a man around in his mid 50s, short pepper and salt hair. "What is the use of killing me that will achieve you freedom? Is it all part of a false belief to evade judgement? Or do you believe yourself a mercy killer? Ridding things of a false suffering? You can try, but you won't succeed."

Entering the room a younger priest, the apprentice around 20 years of age walks in, his hair is medium length and black as coal, his eyes red like rubies, he wears all black and white priest's robes. "What is going on here?" He spoke out. "Violent intentions have no place here!"

"Do not become involved brother Ren, leave else you get hurt!" The old priest yelled out at the young priest, apparently the one named Ren.

"This world's a mess. It's a one-way road to hell and you know it. With freedom, I mean freeing all of mankind from this suffering, the suffering off life! Life is useless! It has no purpose! No meaning! We follow false gods and prophets who want us to obey to them!" Locke's eyes turn red again. His deep, dark voice becomes ever darker, sounding demon-like. "I will become sin itself to free everyone!" Without second thoughts, the old Priest head is cut clean off the neck. Blood pours on Locke's face and torso as he pushes the headless body aside.

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 12, 2005, 07:56:36 PM

Ren's eyes light up and he grits his teeth growling, without second thought the young priest rushes forwards at blinding speed picking up a priest's staff along the way slamming it against Locke's chest with tremendous but non-fatal force. "I'm the only one who should bear the sins of this world!!" the young priest yelled out in a fierce tone. "Your nothing! I hate you! You have no idea! You have no idea at all!! You don't know what it's like! You insignificant worm!" the young priest blindly raged further swinging furiously breaking things, then suddenly he stops holding his head, he jams the staff straight through the floor then runs out.

 OOC: XD FFX much? you surely put a lot of quotations lately.

 Atikkus was trying to sleep, but got wake up by a voice. "Hey, hey, man!" the voice was coming from outside. Atikkus looked trought the window, the skull was calling him again. "What do you want NOW?" it was the most annoying undead Atikkus ever made. "Just a warning, I've been ghost-floating around here, one of your friends he walked around as possessed just a minute ago."
 "And you're telling me this because?"
 "Well, you promissed to lie about my death, so I thought it would be good to return the favor."
 "Well, thanks, were did he go?"
 "To that church over there." The skull would have pointed, but it had no hands.
 "I'll see what's going on, if it's a ghost, it's my job as a Master of Death to set it free. Rest in peace."
 "You too, man." the skull stoped moving again.
 "Next time" Atikkus thought "I'll bury it deeper."

Anyan was not comfortable alone with his "old friends", so he started to look for the people he had met at that misterious cave... He found John sitting worried. "Where is your partner... Locke?" asked Anyan curious.

 Atikkus looked to the priest, then to the church, then to the priest, the looked around, then he peered insid the church. He silently walked to the cemetary, and raised his hands.
  "Darkness from death, give away thy... thy... ...thy what, again? Presence! It was that!  Darkness of death, give away thy presence, and let those who died to... to... ... Argh! Whatever! You all down there, get up!"
 From all around the cemetary, bones started to get up, some more fresh corpses still had some flesh in them, and Atikkus could even bring some poltergeist, the nearest skeleton, who by the sword in his hand, was an warrior, turned himself to Atikkus. "Whatzzup?".
 Atikkus sighted, it was ask too much for have some good dramatical effect? "Look, something is happening inside the church, could someone help me deal with it?"
 The zombie of an old lady looked to him "I couldn't do much a thing, plus I was having such a good dream..."
 Atikkus rolled his eyes. "Okay, who can fight, could help me?"
 A group of death war veterans agreed, the warrior too, and one skeleton who, Atikkus deduced, was a hippie in his life agreed to scare whoever was inside, but wouldn't fight.
 "Okay, LET'S GO!"
 The old lady coughted and looked in a bad way to Atikkus.
 "How do you say, boy?"
 "Okay, fine, LET'S GO, PLEASE!"
 They rushed inside the church.

  Thunder claps overhead as the man walks on the rain beaten trail, a bolt of lightning strikes a near by tree igniting it into flames. Stopping the man emits a cold lauhg that echos through the area, he turns around and looks in the direction of the small little town he passed through where the idiotic lupine was.  Speaking his tonw seems to chill the very air around him, even making the atmosphere shirk away from him, "It has begun again, hell is left in my wake all who have wronged me shall perish painfully and as slow as possible." With that he turns around and continues on his way.

The undead emerge into the church, only to find nothing but a decapitated priest. "There's no one here!" one of them yelled. But suddenly Locke jumps from out of the shadows and takes out three in one swing. "Foul undead! Thou shall taste my blade for coming into the church! Your kind is not welcomed here!"

Glancing over his shoulders, and hearing a din of disorder coming from the outside, Gem wonders what Ill bred magic is in play this night....returning his attention to the lupine....

"Doest ye remeber attacking  me, Mutt? I assumed not....I was out of my character, not slicing yer belly open.....But I could see in yer eyes..........."


Looking at Kite...."Hell?.....He looks rough, but Hell is not the word Id use......Huge is more fitting...That Demon Imp from the sewers Levitated Him, and He inflated like the Bag on a Hot air balloon....."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 13, 2005, 07:22:40 AM

"I don't think the Imp has anything to do with it." Kite answered. "What was this imp like anyway?"

Title:
Post by: Ben on December 13, 2005, 07:41:05 AM

"What was he like?.......Hmmm...."

Gem pondered the question.......

"Strangely enough, He speaks much the same as you would....His Dicton, Anyhow.......A foul creature.......He said that He was a Demon......Trapped in the body.....And Remarked that the Lupines thoughts were not his Own......"

Gem, Scrutinizingly Glaring at Kite.....

"Come to think of it......hmmm.........Never mind........"


"There is a Commotion about town....I heard Thunder cracking....Wed best get this Dog-beast walking again, and He can explain Himself On the way........Id suggest we head to the town Church.....I know the padre there.....He would Help us, Im sure."

Gems analitical Glare, still fixated on Kite....Wilst gems thoughts brewed far fetched Ideas about the Imps Identity.......Strangely, the More far fetched they were, the more believable his theory became.......

"I think I know your little secret, Kit...." Gem thought to himself.

Without notice, And in Quite an Aloof nature, Gem Turned, and Left the Inn, Not waiting for a resonse from the group.....

Once out the Door, Gem lets out a Whitsle from his lanyard, and Outstretches His Gloved Arm.....

A massive Great Grey owl Swoops Out of Nowhere, and Perches On Gems Arm.......
It seems as if the Owl Is whispering a message in Gems Ear....But common sense Begs to differ......still though...
With that, Gem Turned to the Rest of the Group, Still in his line of sight and voice, from the Open Inn door.....

"I must Go...There is Trouble at the Church, and a Dear friend of mine is In danger......I emplore you to Follow Behind....and follow quickly!!!"

And with that, the owl, and Gem Sped down the street, the Birsd Great wings swooping just a few feet above gems Head....Suprisingly enough, it seems Gem has no problems Keeping pace with the Massive owls great stride

Verde punches in through the door of the church, seeming to be completely unaffected by the alcohol. He is alone, Rise having already gone back to the Inn. "Attikus", calls Verde, "What the hell are you doing?". His eyes fall to the corpse of the priest, and he frowns. "Locke, you know you shouldn't kill the villagers. It's considered bad mann --".

A zombie with an axe takes a swing at him; he ducks under the attack, and forms a fireball in his hand, burning away the cadaver. He wavers slightly, wobbling on his feet. "Agh... I forgot how hard magic is with alcohol...", he whispers, steadying himself on a pew. He strides towards Attikus, raising a hand to use another spell, when the necromancer grabs him by the shoulder and throws him with surprising strength against the wall.

Title:
Post by: Drace on December 13, 2005, 08:05:32 PM

"Murderer?" The orange-haired man from before is standing in the shadows, behind the priest. "If ya want revenge, I can help ya... for a fee, o' course."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 13, 2005, 08:32:23 PM

"Revenge...?" The young priest questioned.

The old man from the pub walks up with his walking cane and glances over the place, he pulls out a small pair of glasses and puts them on. "Oh my, sombody was killed? Surely it wouldn't have been... no... thats not him." the old man mumbled. "What is it that is going on here?"

Title:
Post by: WarxePB on December 13, 2005, 08:36:13 PM

The orange-haired man looks at the young priest.

"See, I'm tryin' to pay off my tab at the pub, so I do a lot o' freelance stuff. Treasure huntin' n' assassinations n' the like. So, if ya pay me a bit, I'll do whatever ya want..." He pulls out a chain with a small grappling hook attacked to it. "Anythin' ya want."

"You think your in debt eh? The boy I'm looking for here, Lord Kiterius, is in deep debt to my village. And that is why I'm here. To see what is taking him so long" the old man spoke out. "Has he been behaving himself?"

Anyan, Lenan and Garlyn went out of the inn. Anyan watched to what seemed to be a church. "Something odd is going on there..." said Anyan. Lenan smiled... "This will be fun" said the wizard, watching Garlyn who laughed loudly. They went to the church. There, Anyan found a young priest speaking to a orange haired man. "What in heavens is going on?!" Anyan asked. The young priest watched him and kept silent for a minute. Anyan asked again "What is going on?!".

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 13, 2005, 09:22:13 PM

"It appears the man with the sword has taken the life of the old priest..." The old man spoke out. "All evidence points to that, and this young man is a witness."

Title:

Anyan stood back for a while... this reminded him of his past, his sword barnished in the blood of children, the acussation against him... He couldn't speak. "Are you sure of what you have witnessed?" he asked. The priest said yes. Anyan stood, walked around a bit, and then said:"l' go to the church to take a look... never stop thinking about the posibility of an illusionist or a strong mage that can manipulate images... I know that from my experience..." he said, then, he and his two partners entered the church.

Title:

"Did someone say illusionist?" A dark-haired man wearing a green loincloth and various green-colored pieces of cloth around his body appears.

"This be the wrong RP!" the orange-haired one said.

"Aww..." The man disappeared.

"That was weird..." the orange-haired man said. "In any case, m'name's Yue. I don't have much t'do, so I guess I'll help ya out..." He draws a small hunting knife, and heads to the church.

Upon approaching the doors of the Churchhouse...Gem, is met with the sight of Undead scattered around the floor....but they are, seemingly "re-dead"


"What goes on Here? Is there Danger still? Is this place safe, I have Injured, and Am seeking an Old friend...,,,Ren. Its been Years, and surely our faces hath grown Strange in our memories...My friends need aid, and the evil is thick in the air outside....."

 "Well, me and my undead came here after you, and one of the ghosts in the pub said you were acting like as possessed, so why don't you be a good boy and let me check if you have or don't a ghost insde you?" Most of the undeads were scatered around the floor now, Atikkus thought it was better to send them away. "You all, thanks a lot, and rest in peace, I'll take care of this from now on."
 "Whatever dude." the hippie undead said, he walked away togheter with the others and buried himself. Atikkus got near Locke. "Open your mouth."

Lupine laughs, "yeesh at least allow me time o give answer to your questions." getting to his feet he can feel the diference in his returning  strength and some, he fells as if he could run lasp around this town, Lupine shakes his head now was not the time for such odd thought.  Feeling warry at first Lupine dashes out of the Inn at an alarming speed, something was changing in him and he was now only just beginning to realize such.

She tried to keep up with his distance.

Lupine calls back to her, "at least you believe that to be true miss Jenna, though I'll take your word for it seeing as you seem to hold knowledge over the situation." Lupine continues towards the church, he knew someone or something had grabbed hold of him but for some reason had not willed him to kill gem or any innocence.

Locke pushes Attikus away. "How can you all believe that young Priest whiles he's thinking about plotting revenge?! How can you trust a revenging Priest?! Priest! Don't! Want! Revenge!" he shouts throughout the Church. "And no! I'm not possed! This is blood of the undead you put against me. Two of the three I slained where walking corpses!"

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 14, 2005, 06:11:36 AM

Kite notices Lupine allowing him to catch up. "I sense a death... a fresh kill... this does not seem good..."

The priest wailed "How dare you try to lie on holy ground! I was there, I saw you swing your blade, you eyes red like hellfire! Get away! Leave us alone! We do not need anymore blood to spilt on these grounds!"

"He's right... there is the scent of recently deceased blood on your blade and clothing..." Kite replied. "The blood of the old priest... how do you explain this...?"

"He was no threat to you..." Ren said in a depressive tone. "He wasn't even armed..."

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 14, 2005, 06:41:44 AM

Lupine comes upon the scene alongside Kite, the scent of rotting flesh and blood fills his nostrils, he gags and stumbles back as he becomes lightheaded from the stench, "what a vile stench." something else wafts into his nose something new to him.  Lupine closes his eyes and gets on all fours as he begins sniffing along the ground following the smell

Title:

An arrow glides past Kites Field of vision, and into the head of the zombie.....



"Not walking any more....."


Gem Holsters his bow, and raises his hands in a gesture of good nature....

"I see weve come at an important time.....I am a pretty important guy though....welll.....not really...but nonetheless....My name is Gem...This short man here, Is Lord Kitierus, this is our Lupine prisoner...(Gem recieves a harsh glare from the Lupine) Rather....company.....and the Elven sure to be here soon is Ms. Jenna........We mean no harm, unless one of you happens to be the Lupine bloodviper...."

The robed form of Verde staggers back across the floor of the church's aisle. "Attikus, I believe that you're hiding something", he mutters. "Why pointlessly attack us all? Why are you being so secretive?". He pauses and turns to Locke. "And you...", he whispers.

Rise bustles in, clutching a wad of blankets, stifling a scream at the sight of various "dead" zombies lying all over the floor. He runs to Verde and huddles near him, hissing something about "all these people".

"Oh, come on", mutters Verde, rolling his eyes. "Locke has a lot of secrets, as do you, Attikus. In fact, apart from what has already been said, we know nothing of each other. 'Judge not, lest ye be judged', isn't that right, Priest? Now we shall all calm down".

He sits on one of the pews. "And if we cannot sort this out civily, then so be it".

Finally catching up to the party, she catches her breath only to gag on the scent of rotted flesh.

Jenna: "My! God! Ohhh that is just gross!"

She holds her nose with the tips of her fingers and casts a small invisable barrier around her face to block out the scent.

Jenna: "Sorry I am late, Elves are not born natural sprenters but climbers instead and good with mystic arts. WOuld have been nice if someone waited for me!"

Her eyes glare at Kite, Gem and Lupine for a moment. Then she smiles and makes a greeting to the new people in the area.

Jenna: "Hi! I am Jenna. If any mortals have a problem with my appearance as an elf, please say so now so I can bash your face in. I dont want to do it later "

She giggles, then glares seeing who would insult her presence there.

Anyan, Lenan and Garlyn stepped out of the church. Silent and cold, Anyan walked towards Locke. He drew his sword and pointed it to the man's neck "Answer!! What has happened in there?!" aked Anyan, with anger coming out of his voice, while his hand shakes. Lenan and Garlyn watch him closely and stand beside him. Then, Lenan said "Shouldn't we ask the priest too...?" he said, ans Garlyn walked towards the young priest. "It will be best for you to say everything that happened in there... Both of you speak!!!" said Garlyn.

"I was washing the service cups when this man bursted in, his eyes red like flames, he drew his sword and babbled about sin and slain Dowfeld, in rage I rushed at him and struck him with my staff and fled from the church... I swear on that as the full truth... he had no right to take his life... he had no reason... I feel he is either hiding his true nature or posessed by a devil..." Ren said, his tone upset and maybe also a bit anxious.

Locke draws his sword. "The next who threatens me is getting a taste of this! I did not know what happend here. But I do know that the Priest was dead upon arrival. Seeing as so many people here are interressted in what happend here is prove enough that the killer is still in the room!"

Title:

Kite spoke out "And whats the point of this? You and Ren were the only ones here, neither of you have anything to truly gain from his death... or do you? Ren will be the lead priest now..."

"But..." Ren interrupted.

"Let me finish... but that wouldn't be a reason for him to kill the old priest. So who else was on scene? Who else? Surely one wouldn't suggest it was suicide. Because the old priest has neither the tools nor the..."

"What happened to you accent?" the old man interrupted.

Kite clenched his fists and snapped "Bloody hell! Won't thou allow me finish!?"

"Ren, its been ages.....I helped your father with.....an incident years ago....you were a child....eleven perhaps....ina letter your father told me you had taken up the priesthood here....

.....by the looks of it you could use an ally...."

Stepping to the aid of Young Ren Gem boldly speaks....

"have no quarrel with this Man...I owe his father....he was a great man...and young Ren is surely as good...Let us Be civil....moderation is in order...."


"Ren, I can say by knowing his family, is a God fearing man....He is truly dedicated to his lords word....and as such, it would be unlikely for him to kill....especially for power........"

Gems Owl, now perched on a nearby Pew, Flaps its wings in agreeance....sending a gust of wind that causes a zombie head to roll to rens feet.......

At this point, Ren turns and vomits, as if to have been holding in his disgust for some time.

"Normally that would never happen... I'm not sure what came over me" Ren admitted.

"Thast murder weapon be a sliceing weapon, like a scythe or most likely a SWORD." Kite pointed out "The type of wound inflicted matches exactly this here man's blade. See how the blood be dripped across the floor and the wound not so clean as it has shattered vertebrae and the collarbone? It is not a clean cut but wast done so with much force. And if the priest had slammed him as hard as he said, there would be a bruise appearing on his chest in about 15 minutes... hmmmm... unless thou be not human..."

"What exactly are you implying?!", snaps Verde, quickly rising from the pew and taking everyone by surprise. "Not human? By the way you are all acting, can you not say the same of yourselves?! Look at you all! You anger so quickly, you bicker on and on, and you are on the brink of killing each other! What would that accomplish?! How can death justify death?!".

He stands there for a few moments, panting and scowling around the group, then turns in a flurry of robes. "I will be at the Inn", he sighs, "And I hope that you will still all be alive when I return in the morning". He walks away, with the confused apprentice following after him.

Verde leans against the desk in the Inn, scattering a few coins in the vague direction of the Innkeeper. "I'd like a room", he mutters, smiling despite the frown he still has from the argument a few minutes ago. "I believe that my apprentice has booked it for me. Can I have it now?".

The man across the desk puts on a pair of half-moon spectacles and surveys a page in front of him. "Verde Rezen?", he asks. Verde nods. "Oh, yes, there's a booking here. And - Oh, hey, I know you! Verde Rezen, one of the greatest magicians in the country! I read your autobiography once. I didn't understand most of it, but I tried out some of the spells. It didn't go very well. One time, when I tried your water spell...". The man continues to ramble for several minutes, then stops and peers at Verde. "You're in Room 3", he smiles, "Goodnight, Mr. Rezen".

Verde plods up the stairs, and is met by Rise. "Hello, Verde", smiles the boy, "Did the Receptionist know you?". Verde nods. "Yeah, he was pretty surprised when I told him I was your apprentice". Verde nods again, and wearily opens the door to his room. A single bed, a table, a wardrobe, and a few scattered bottles.

Verde sits on the bed and sighs. He raises his hand, and sparks an ember in the fireplace, which burns up into a flame. He lies down, closes his eyes, and falls asleep almost instantly.

   Lupine continues sniffing around while he listened to the whole arguement, though his thoughts settled upon the scent he had been trailing for a while now, "this is not something that I have smelt before, it almost seems that it isn't real, almost....false." Lupine thinks.  Following the scent he moves about the church, he just wouldn't let up on this trail.  Eventually Lupine is lead outside, walking alittle ways out he looks up, instantly he drops back and bgins to growl fiercly.

Gem to kite...
"I agree......we shall surely watch our backs when around him"

"Ren......Tell me....how does your father fare?!?"
And then, upon the lupines unannounced departure...

"Where is the mutt off to? Kit, keep a leash on your beast"

Post by: Darkfox on December 16, 2005, 07:46:52 AM

"Hold the insults, I think there's somthing wrong..." Kite walks over to where Lupine is "Huh?" he then looks up where Lupine's eyes are fixed at.

Post by: Dragonium on December 16, 2005, 04:24:42 PM

Verde wakes with a gasp. The atmosphere in the room is stuffy, and there is an electric tension hanging in the air. The various bottles have been tipped over and broken, the table only has three legs, and each of the doors and drawers of the wardrobe are wide open. Everything seems to have been taken.

Verde stands and kicks open the door, clenching a fist inside his Gauntlet, as though some invisible rogue would sneak up and snatch it in the bright lamplight. The corridor is deserted. Cautiously, he creeps downstairs, into the front room. Empty. The Innkeeper has vanished, and his register has also gone. Verde shakes his head to dispel the thoughts he has, and steps outside into the street.

Post by: Rywho on December 17, 2005, 03:50:14 AM

  Metting the gaze of Kite, Lupine, and Verde is a figure that both Kite and Lupine recognize quickly, the cloak figure stands there, looking around at what sems to be a ghost town now.  Lupine stop growling to speak, "Why have you come back, woshing to kill me this time around?" the man does not respond.

Title:
Post by: Ben on December 17, 2005, 04:02:14 AM

astepping outside to join the others, Gem gets a shiver upon seeing the cloaked figure........
with a sdhudder, gem pulls his cloak closed, making himself harder to focus on.....now less obvious, Gem arms himself with his Composite bow, and a flint tipped arrow.

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 17, 2005, 05:12:18 AM

 Speaking the cloaked man walsk foreward a few steps. "what a silent town, such under tones of decay would surely intrigue those with a black heart." he says with no emotion to his voice.

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 17, 2005, 06:30:15 AM

"Hmph, what purpose do you come here? More destruction and chaos? Too bad it seems everyone has left..." Kite spoke out with a smug tone.

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 17, 2005, 07:04:53 AM

Centering the hood and his gaze upon Kite the man speaks, yet again  no emtion dances over his words, "such arrogance will be your undoing." again the man falls silent and walks foreward agin.
  "come any closer and I will rip your throat out."  Lupine snaps, tensing up he readies himself to pounce.
   The man looks to the wolf man, "such a tattered mind, close to breaking, plagued by something inside."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 17, 2005, 07:08:49 AM

"Then you admit responsability... you killed them, all of them...? And I'll assume you had part in the old priest's death as well..." Kite snapped out.

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 17, 2005, 07:18:53 AM

"Aren't we all responsable in some way another man's death, wether we strike the blow ourselves or steer the killer to his addiction,"  The figure opens his eyes, blazing clearly through the shade of his hood shines tranquil blue eyes of a saint, "have we not taken lifes before, out of what defense, hatred, greed, lust, pleasure?"
 
Lupine drags his claws over the ground under his paws, "stop being so void of emotions for the lifes you've taken." it can be seen to Kie that Lupine seems to losing control to his emotions.

Looking Lupine directly in the eye he states, "a young pup should hold his tongue like his friend."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 17, 2005, 07:50:47 AM

"Your wrong, that justifies nothing in the taking of one's life... and you won't be doing so here..." Ren spoke out. "Nobody else dies here or you will have to answer to me if nobody else takes on that responsability for me... now if you'll excuse me... I have damage to undo..." Ren walks over to the old priest's corpse and holds out his hands over it, there is a sudden light bluish glow and the old priest's body begins to go back together and wounds begin to disappear, the old priest takes in a breath but does not get up, seemingly unconcious and Ren walks back out seemingly with less strength than before, he wobbles some. "I need less witnesses..."

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 17, 2005, 08:01:46 AM

"young child I said nothing of justification, rarealy any mortal is free from the sin of death,"  The cloaked man begins to walks towards Lupine and Kite, "one with little strength to spare should not exert such strain, such wasteful actions give nothing in return," he paues, "I doubt you'll let that statement stand won't you?"

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 17, 2005, 08:10:50 AM

"I guess such things are beyond you... I do so because nobody else will... they do not deserve it... then again... I don't expect you to care or even begin to understand... and the rewards are plentiful... worth more than somthing you can stuff in your pocket and hold in your hands..." Ren answered. "One who lives to take lives and another who lives to give life... kind of an odd coincidence..."

Title:
Post by: Ben on December 17, 2005, 08:12:21 AM

Gem, Aiming his Flint tipped arrow at the advancing figure hollers...

"Cease, Foul Sorcerer.....Hold your step....Lest My hand slip.....


What would ye want with us? We seek not your blade, but the lupine Bloodviper......Powerfull ye may be but my bow is fast, and your face, Unprotected...."
Gems owl is perched above the situation in a nearby tree, ready to aid the party if more trouble arises..."

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 17, 2005, 08:24:55 AM

"just what I expected you to say, for a priest you lack the ability to understand people, but then again not many understand me,"  he turns to look at Ren, "I used to have the same outlook you have boy, long ago I gave my all for others I-" Lupine cuts him off.

"How can you stand there and lie so calmly"  Lupine barks, "You are a killer, you reak with the stench of blood."

"You all assumed I have killed those in this town, and the priest you say I had a hand in, what proof do any of you hold, is there any blood around town." and sure as his emotionless speak, there is no blood staining the town.

The man looks to Gem, "ranger, do not think of my wekaness as your strength, it would be unwise to stirke at me."  Lupine anger seems to rise the longer the man stands here.

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 17, 2005, 08:33:15 AM

"I understand people, I just don't think killing them solves anything... then again... I don't expect a lower to understand that... true strength don't come from a stupid sword or power to overwhelm and destroy your opponent... yet again... I wouldn't expect a lower to understand that either..." Ren begins to walk off "I give, I expect nothing in return... I understand people more than you think... forgive me if I don't really care..."

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 17, 2005, 08:37:47 AM

The cloaked figure begins to laugh, actually laugh, "such convictions, though they can be changed with the right direction.  Belive me Priest I have seen many things in my long life, but maybe I am talking to a being that is trying to hide, though I truely do not know."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 17, 2005, 08:48:34 AM

Ren stops "Maybe your not too far from the truth, but what I do hide is not somthing people need on their minds..."

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 17, 2005, 08:55:16 AM

Nodding the man rebutles, "though it may not be needed on their minds it can not stay hidden forever. As I would like to make clear I did not slay any man in this town, and since I was given a laugh allow me to give some information on your search, merely follow the sewers."  with that the man walks past Kite and Lupine, Lupine not wanting to get an arrow in his own rear end decided not to jump the man.  Soon the man is out of ear shot and range, and then he fully leaves view.

Title:
Post by: Ben on December 17, 2005, 09:03:46 AM

As the Man Leaves, Gems Bow is rested in his now limp arm....


"it had to be that foul man that contolled the Mutt earlier...And though he himself has killed no man, his controll over humanids has been  witnessed by my own eyes......aye.....Kite, it seems we must travel back to th sewers......"

"Young ren, is there any provisions in the church you could part with, or perhaps, since your mentor has fallens slain, you would like to come.....the choice is yours, child...."

Gem turns to Kite....

"Much of mead head was full of kissing static when his words were spoken.....I heard not much of what he said....except for the words spoken to me....and those words scratched at my brain like a rake....."

"Ms Jenna is safe inside, I hope......The dead are slain within the church are they not?"

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 17, 2005, 09:08:20 AM

Ren chuckles "There has been no murder here... because for a murder sombody has to be dead right?"

Title:
Post by: Ben on December 17, 2005, 09:33:23 AM

Gem shakes his head.....
"young ren, you share the same wit as your father..."


Ren replies "Thank you,  I think"

"It wasnt necessarily a compliment, young man" Gem retorts

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 17, 2005, 09:38:03 AM

Kite in a confused tone "Isn't the old priest deceased? Was he not slain?"

"Everything is better now... what damage was done was undone... and I think it's time I took my leave anyways... the longer I stay here the more they might catch up to me, putting everybody at a high risk..."

 "They who?" Atikkus come from behind Kite, a ghost ball floating around him. "I finished talking with the ghosts, they know as much as we do." The ghost ball seemed to nod.

Title:
Post by: Drace on December 17, 2005, 09:19:18 PM

John appears from behind Attikus. "Aren't we missing some?" he asks.
Ren gasps. "Locke!" he shouts with pure anger. "Locke isn't here!"
Without warning, a ball of pure shadow blasts Ren against the nearest wall.
"Fools!" an unknow dark voice shouts, surrounding them all. Echoeing.
"Everyone... Everyone is gone!"
"Where are they?!" Ren shouts, scanning the area.
"They are off in a better place. A place without suffering and false religion. A place that doesn't know death nor sorrow. A place that is neither Heaven nor Hell."
"Show yourself!"
"That would be too easy. No, I'm going to toy with your mind instead." After said this, a blue aura appears arround Ren as he falls to his knees, feeling scared. Visions of the past haunt his mind. Visions of damnation and destruction. It all becomes dark for Ren. Eternal darkness.

Title:
Post by: Grandy on December 17, 2005, 09:24:38 PM

"Show yourself Locke!" Attikus shouts.
"What? What's going on?" Locke says while walking down the stairs.
"Hehehe. You didn't really thought I was that puny human over there, do you? No. I am everything, yet nothing. To leave this realm, I only ask one think of you."
"And what is that?!" Attikus questions.
"Bring death, to those who claim they're holy!"

"RAHHHH!!!" Ren is heard yelling, a flash of bluish light with a pearl explosion and a portion of the darkness is purified, Ren is on his hands and knees, bluish bolts surge across the ground. "Return them, return them all or the only one who'll die is you creature of darkness! RETURN THEM ALL NOW AND LEAVE US ALONE!!"

Post by: Dragonium on December 18, 2005, 11:43:08 AM

Seizing the moment, Verde steps from the doorway of the Inn and runs to the group. He glances around at the others with a cynical frown, then steps forward, speaking calmly. "I do not know who you are, and I do not care what you are trying to do. I am no expert in this field, but whether you are man, beast, or a figment of each person's imagination, you must leave", he calls.

An orb of pulsating black energy whirls out of the darkness, seemingly from out of nowhere; the mage raises a hand, and the orb seems to catch fire and disintegrate into nothingness. Another one flies from out of the gloom, and he ducks to avoid it. "Come", he calls to the others, "I will handle this foe's magic. You must fight!".

Suddenly demonic creatures crawl from all the places.
"What the hell?" Locke draws his Demon Sword and holds his shield thight against hisself. "Fight till death takes us down!"

"Light be my guidance, make for us a path that is true!" Ren cried out as he held out both hands aimed at the demonic creatures gathering a light blue light. "Purify these lands in holy light!" With that he waves his arms sending out a wave of spiritual light destroying several of the demonic creatures.

Kite yells out "We must not give up! We will not die here!" with that Kite drew out his long sword and impaled one of the creatures.

familliar chanting begins to fill Lupine's ears, as well s faintly to Gem's, though to Gem's surprise the words come from Lupine, he speaks the words as if they were second nature.  Rage fills Lupine the longer these words echo through him,  unseen forces lift him up into the air as his fur flashes between their blue, and gold.  Lupine's eyes go white and his body limp when his fur turns pure gold.  Light begins to emit from his fur, growing brighter over time until he almost looks etheral.  Lupine clenches his fists and then moves them in a wave, a shockwave of white energy is sent over the creatures destroying a large portion of their legion.

"What be that light? Lupine? Yagh!" Kite tosses his sword which jams into one of creature's heads emptying out whatever it had in there onto the ground and then he opens two pouches that he carried around hidden away and jams his hand into them pulling out two large gauntlets, each of them studded with spikes and each having claws "I will be thou's one way stagecoach to hell!" Kite's gauntlets glow with a red aura as he rushes forwards, his teeth gritted he swings his left fist at one creature smashing it's face in and the spikes smashing into it's face as which without a doubt hurt as it writhed in agony along the floor, Kite yelled angerly as he swung one of the gauntlets down on one creature smashing it much like a bug strowing it's black intrails in a ring area, Kite continues this savage display, a barbaric look on his face, his eyes burning red with rage.

Title:
Post by: Ben on December 19, 2005, 05:06:01 AM

confused, people speak to gem, but he hears nothing...except for the vile whispering of the golden lupine......



To the others Gem would appear enchanted.....the whispering is causing great confusion in Gem.....And he begins to almost hallucinate.....something in the whisper has made Gem lose touch with reality.....however temporary....


"Gaaargh......Silence beast........"
Looking at the lupine, now reverting to its ferral form, Gem is filled with blind, uncontrollable rage.....Confusion gives way to blind anger........ignoring the bizzarre events unfolding around himm gem turns to kite.....

"your dog.....he means to kill us all.....t'was ne'er the Imp....twas.....the dog....."
Gems eyes glaze over, and rather than grabbing his efficient bow, Gem grabs his shortsword/Dagger.....Gems Tradmark Cloak of stealth falls to the ground with his quiver.........

Gem feels strange....Not well.....but powerfull......and like he has been defiled by the whispering wich he thought came from the lupine.....

"DOGMAN!!!! MINE ENEMY.....I WILL TASTE YOUR BLOOD THIS NIGHT, EVIL VERMIN!!! YOUR KIND....SLAYED MY MENTOR.....my only friend......."


Gems lip lets out a dribble of blood, right before gem ran at the lupine sward beared....


Gems Mind is clearly under the influence of dark magic....this is evident in his glazed, colorless eyes......the same spell that controlls the lupine

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 19, 2005, 05:56:43 AM

Without warning, crushing the head of one of the demons with his right gauntlet tosses it's corpse in Gem's path it's black blood spilling into a pool before him and Kite yells out in a tone that almost sounds inhuman "It be dark magic, if thou are as strong as thou boast to be you should fight it, else I'll hath to put you down as well!" Kite rushes out hitting Gem with his right gauntlet with the palm, where it's softest but still hurtful. "Bring thouself out of it thoust pitiful mortal! He hast harmed nobody so far, maybe it won't last long, graahhh... what is wrong... my skull burns with such rage... I must fight it's influence..."

Title:
Post by: Ben on December 19, 2005, 06:13:21 AM

Gem, stunned for a moment, from Kites Open Handed Slap, looks about confused and blinking.......
"What....ugggghh.....my   head......whispering...."

Gem looks as if a surge of something horrible painfull passes over his body, and he falls to his knees, blood now running from his nose and his mouth....

Gripping his head with his hands, wich have now tossed the sword out of reach slightly, to prevent an uncontrolled kill


"its....its proximity.....

if    I    can    get   to   a   s-safe  dist ance....

I should   be able    to   fight   it off...."

Gem gathers his remaining mental, and pyhsical strength, and with a blood currdling scream, dashes for his Cloak, quiver and Bow, behind him......with a singular motion it is grabbed, and gem dashes to a safer vantage point, arming and equipping himself...

Gem climbs an ornate door-arch-way, and perches to a ledge high on the wall of the inner church....And holds his bow at the ready.....

"KIT!ATTICUS!!..What evil is this?!? Get to a safe point....the lupine could turn at any minute....this is  sortof what happened when it attacked me...only it seems to me, alot more powerfull than before"
Gems explanation is cut short, as he sends an arrow into the head of an undead, reanimating at Kites feet, trying to pull his feet loose from under it......the force of the arrow, che head, and shatter and splinter in the brick floor.....And bits of shrapnel to pock mark kites legs.....Bringing a slightly suprised look from Kite.

"Ive never shot an arrow with such force before....strange" Gem thought to himself.

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 19, 2005, 06:36:21 AM

"Wasn't that one of Atti..." Kite was cut shot being scratched by one of the demonic creatures, his eyes fill with rage and he snarls his teeth grit baring his teeth, his gloves glow more and he smashes his right gauntlet with fist closed tightly straight into the face of the creature, not only knocking it's head off it's body but completely obliderateing it, multiple red marks burn under his eyes, they are 6 in total, 3 under each eye, the force from the swing causes a distruption in the air causing another creature's ribcage to collapse and snap, and breaks off another's arm, Kite seems on verge of losing all control but then he yells out, his voice fluctuating "Lupine, if thoust can hear me in there, focus thine rage, focus thine anger on these vile beasts! Let it all out on these who deserve thine wrath and mine! Let no mortal get caught in the crossfire, I know thou hast the strength! Thou art not a monster!".

Post by: Rywho on December 19, 2005, 07:51:47 AM

 Words are lost to this etheral looking wolf man, again his fur glows to the point of pure light.  Letting out a howl of anger, and hatred for these creatures, another wave flies out from his body washing over the beasts in a purifying manner, which causes them to disintergrate.  The wave ends the onslaught of creatures, as well as Lupine's chanting.  Blue begin to restore to his fur as the gold fades from it, his pupils begin to slowly return,  the granted rage and strength from his chanting begins to fade from all who were effected.  Lupine slowly rests his four paws on the ground, looking weak and drained his eyes look over to Gem, speaking as best as he can, "Gem.........are you......alright.........I'm sorry that you were effected as well........I didn't know that.....would happen......please.....forgive me."  struggling to stay up, Lupine's eyes soon roll into the back of his head and he collapses.

Title:
Post by: Ben on December 19, 2005, 08:11:06 AM

a chill runs down Gems spine......

"Lupine.....what power do you posess? What manner of magic is this?"

looking around at the strewn bodies, and Kit, Atticus and the others, all shocked at their own action or the actions of others

Hopping Down from the Perch, Gem Hilts hos longbow, and picks up his Sword....

"My lord.....such carnage....such a foul odour....
What a dark night this is...."



Walking over to the lupine, gem helps hoist it up to its feet....

"For the Love of ZGod, Somebody get my friend some medical attention..." (Much to the amazment of Kite....Upon seeing the look on Kits face upon this remark Gem intercedes..."What?
Yeah yeah, I know.....But this thing is Obviously not a run of the mill lupine....what we have here is something of a demi-god status.....and I plan on keeping this Lupine safe from harm untill we part its path.....Dog-Men I hate....This one is a friend now...."
Turning its head to the weakened lupine.....
"Do you have a name, friend?"

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 19, 2005, 08:18:33 AM

Lupine fades in and out of conciousness, he gives a weak chuckles, "I........told.......you..........all.......earlier, my name is...........Lupine........." falling limp in Gem's grip he loses all conciouness.

as if called back, the cloaked figure appears in the center of all of their sight, "such a peculiar beast that lycanthro is.  possesing such strength, though it is not his own."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 19, 2005, 08:33:37 AM

"Why dost thou return? Make a wrongful move and Olmon might have to release my seal..." Kite spoke out.

"Stand down, there shall be no more bloodshed tonight." Ren interrupted. "As for my convictions, stranger, they will not be changed, what I live by was forged in blood and spirit, ever since that day of long before I swore somthing that I won't back away from... you can say what you want, but it will change nothing..."

Title:
Post by: Ben on December 19, 2005, 08:38:01 AM

"What is your damned business with us anyways?!?

have you nothing better to do than interfere with our objectives?!?"

Gem shifts a little, to support the weight of the fully limp Lycanthrope

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 19, 2005, 08:39:53 AM

the man looks to Kite, "again little one, such arrogance you can do without, idle threats are pointless."

looking to Ren he responds, "Ren, hopefully your words continue to ring true with your convictions, but it is hard to keep yours when you watch your mother become  the town wench and soon slain publicly.  Though I will save all of you on such trivial matters, I am here for this wolf."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 19, 2005, 08:48:47 AM

Ren gets in the way "I can protect everyone, I will act as their shield, I would even give my life. Your words mean nothing to me but I cannot allow such actions without good reason, I'd protect them with my life!" With that he crosses his arms in an X and resting his head between them, his sleeves fall down slightly revealing two heavy looking golden manacles on his wrists, each one have an unknown language etched into them, ancient ruins and there is no seam on how they were put on as if they were molded around his arms.

Post by: Rywho on December 19, 2005, 08:58:57 AM

  The man sighs and walks foreward, he stop upon the sight of the writing, he mutters, "it has been long since that writing has crossed my eyes,"  he shakes his head and walsk up to Ren and places a hand on the top of his head, black burn markings can be seen trailing up his arm in a symbol((No that is not a Scar rip off before any of you say it)) "Priest you misunderstand my motives of this meeting, I am not here to harm.  nor Gem am I the one who gave ill to your friend here."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 19, 2005, 09:03:58 AM

"And what will you do to him?" Ren questioned, at this point there can be sees a slight gleam of another manacle around his neck though it's blocked by his priestly coat.

  "weter or not you believe me, heal him.  no doubt you saw what he did, and no doubt you can fele the reprocussions of such a feat."  The figure states to Ren. "I can help him thouhg I need to be able to touch the man first."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 19, 2005, 09:11:54 AM

Ren glares for a moment as if trying to read the cloaked man and then he moves aside. "Do as he says Gem, Kite..."

Title:
Post by: Ben on December 19, 2005, 09:18:39 AM

Unealsily,, and very reluctantly, Gem gives a nod to Ren....setting Lupine down gingerly on the ground (however gently, the Lycanthropes mass still thunds on the ground) Gem takes a step back, and makes sure to have his bow armed and ready for any sudden movements....


"I trust Ren, Dark one Not you....."
Gem states loudly....

"next, that cursed Imp demon will rear his head....Hes probably watching from some corner right now." Gem whispers inaudible to himslelf

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 19, 2005, 09:28:40 AM

"Fine..." Kite says as he also moves aside, he drops his gauntlets, they hit the ground with a loud thud, at this time they start to seem eerily familiar, or at least to Gem.

Attikus notices Locke has fell to the ground besides him, holding his hands against his head, wailing on the floor of pain. "Locke?! Are you ok?!"
Locke twiches and starts to shake heavily as an dark aura emerges from inside him. Evil chants are heard around him, John and Attikus.
"The hell?" John questions.
"Seems like it," Attikus replies while he raises his Scythe.

Title:

The man reaches down to make conttc with Lupine but stops short upon hearing the dark chanting, he looks over to the source, "well well, there are dark forces at work here,"  He looks to Gem, "get your friend away from here."

Gem reluctently nods, and the Cloaked figure straightens up to his full height, making others quickly realize that he is a gaint.  Flipping his arms out of the cloak it rests behind him, while still keeping the hood on. The markings on his arms span over his whole body, their look it can be seen they were inflicted by a whip like object, seemingly to have been weilded by a master.  He wears no shirt to  match his black  pants and leather boots, this shows the insignia burned into the cneter of his chest, the design is that of a wing that is tattered and bleeding, the mark is incircled by the burn scars, "I'm in a benefical mood, I think I'll help you all out."  he states in an almost cocky tone.

"Holy crap thou be gigantic..." Kite commented "But I be all for a nice duel with a demon..." with that Kite puts his gauntlets back on.

"Brace yourselves!" The priest Ren said as he threw off his priestly coat revealing himself to be wearing a white sleeveless shirt, his physique is well built for a priest his age, or let alone a priest, the manacle around his neck and wrists become more visible, and there seem to be ones on his ankles as well, also around his kneck is a cross with an S rune carved in it. "Identify yourself demon!"

Gem rests Lupine on one of the nearby pew, and dodges a step and a leap back, to steal away from range of the Giant...Drawing his bow, Gem hesitates as to the target...

"well, if the giant meant to kill me, it'd happened by now....and he seems to have pretty vital answers....if that dark magic is the same Ive encountered throughout the evening....."
Gem fixes his Aim on Locke....

"Get a hold of yourself man!!! Lest I have to incapacitate you...A shot to the knee is most painfull!!!"

Post by: Rywho on December 20, 2005, 07:28:22 AM

Looking to Gem the scarred man asks, "dark magic, earlier this evening, are thou sure twas dark?"  His eyes move back to Locke to keep attention on whatever the next action may be

"Dark Giant, you speak in questions, and not in answers!!

If not dark, than what magic is it? Surely it is not holy...

And such rage that follows with it...

What do you know, Dark one?"

Gems questions to the giant are less confrontational than his previous words...almost....friendly....but very very cautious...

"What magic is in play tonight....what magic, that has driven Lupine, to such physical prowress....and myself....My reflexes sharp...my senses...and the Rage enveloping kite"

The two look over and see kites face, red, holding back a rage deep within him.

Kite finally snaps out "What? What the questionable looks for?" the red stripes under his eye had faded some but they seem as well vaguely familiar as like his gauntlets.

Post by: Ben on December 20, 2005, 09:02:12 AM

"Kite....." gem apprhensiveely starts..."You look a bit flush.....
a bit...........familiar......"

Gem Lowers his bow.......

"Its you, isnt it......"

Gem walks briskly in the directions of Kite

"Its you, you weasely little man.....youre the Imp from the sewers...the imp in the hotel....your ripped clothes....I suspected it earlier......."
Gem is now about ten paces from Kite....

"What else are you hiding, Oh shady Half-Pint....HUH?!?

What Magics are you commanding, or what spell are you under?
An honest man wouldve brought something like this up.....thou truly arent as virtuous as thou pretences."

Gem looks truly miffed....but not about to start something stupid....there is far too much going on for bickering with common allies....however shady they prove themselves...

"Why dont you show your true form to the others?Or is it some Doppelganger demon Imp? HUH?"

 Atikkus seems really annoyed "What the hell is going on?! Imp?! What in the friggin' hell is a Imp?" the ghost ball floating around him started to wave up and down, and suddenly entered his head, he stayed there with a blank look in his face, when the ghost ball floated out of his head again. "Okay, so that's an Imp..." the ghost ball obviously told him so. "But that doesn't explain a lot, what's happening?!"

"Somthing dark, somthing sinister..." Kite replied "Kinda makes thou envious, eh Gem?" he says to Gem in a sorta smug tone. "There is a reason they must not know, secret..." kite coughs and says somthing under his breath "Plus some considereth me somthing to squeeze to death with affection..."

Post by: Ben on December 21, 2005, 06:08:04 AM

The Glare that Gem givees to Kite, is one that quite literally says "Well be discussing this later, Demi-humanid"...this is emphasized by Gem mouthing the words......

Turning to The Giant.......
"What do you plan to do about this?Oh 'wise' one"


GGem pretends to cought and gives the lanyard whistle a abrupt toot.....

 Keeping his gaze upon Locke, the Gaint responds to Gem, "I hope that was not a joke.  we have bigger issues to think upon than witty banter.  Your Lycanthro friend is under the influence of some spell I can tell you that much, dark as it may be it has affected him in a positive way, as well has it affected you."

Post by: Ben on December 22, 2005, 05:02:06 AM

"I would most definatly not call what happened to me, positive...."

Gem says, as he gingerly touches his face where Kite had slapped him.......

  Sighing heavily the giant looks to Gem, "for a ranger you are quite dense, did it not strike you odd of how your aim and force grew?"  again he returns his stone gaze back towards what seems to be  a possessed Locke, "thou is not thinking about peculiarities, but merely running off of hatred and fury to guide his arrow."

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on December 22, 2005, 05:21:31 AM

"Humph... hence why I had to hit him... you Gem have little control over thine rage, thou would just as quickly attack blindly relying mainly on your power rather than using what is in your head." Gem adds.

Ren interrupts the conversation "This is all besides the point, well... should I attempt an exorcism?"

"Ok, could you all tell me what is going on?" Jenna says scratching her head in confusion.

Post by: Ben on December 22, 2005, 05:35:11 AM

Gem, frustrated, bites his toungue, and chokes back words that would just make him look dumb anyhow....

Gem was always aware of his low level of intelligence...and part of the reason he strayed from society was the riddiculing remarks of his peers....Gem always acceled at general survival, and hunting skills, but when    it came to book-learnin.....well, Gem was an Idiot....

"sniff......"

Kite: What was that, Gem?
Gem: oh......uh........   look....here comes Mrs Jenna!!!

"Ehhhh... shall I perform a cleansing?" Ren asked.

Post by: Rywho on December 23, 2005, 07:27:04 AM

The Gaint answers Ren's question, "If you do so, be aware of his condition.  one does not know the power of whatever this demon is."  he laxes in his stance to keep himself from getting tense.

Ren suddenly casts a stare at Locke, one that seems to look right into his very being, as if to scan somthing that the eye normally would not see, Ren's eyes begin to fog over in a light bluish light.

Title:
Post by: Rywho on December 23, 2005, 07:58:40 AM

The gaint moves out of Ren's area of sight, "Gem get out os his vision, just in case we get a recoil."  Gem nods to the Giant still angered by his comment earlier, he moves back a few steps.

"Light be my guidance," with this Ren slaps his hands together and the items he wears glow. "Purge this man of the impurities that plague his soul!" Ren lets out a yell and holds out both hands, a wind picks up and an aura swirl then a ring forms around Ren, finishing this a wave of holy energy bursts along the ground aimed at Locke.
