The Citidale of Arkaies II

01-11-2002, 05:10 PM

Since we exceed the number of posts in the old thread (sorry moderators), this is the new thread. We are now in the town of Ruffertdale for quick summary. We landed after a bloody battle at sea, with few causulties. SecretMaster is away at a business meeting, and this town is full of thieves and ruffians.

Note from Larry: Actually, 150 is the turn-off, and you stopped before that. No worries!

But thanks for being considerate!

Larry shows Mistral to her room that had been purchased for her to get some rest. The guys, however, wanted to go exploring a little, and thus they again met downstairs with the intent on finding something to entertain them for a while. They met up by the fire place in the commons' area.

OOC>>>That is inclusive to everybody that is with me in the Inn, with the exception of Mistral, unless you write yourself out of the meeting we are having in the commons' area.

Carlos went for a drink in Red Light Area. Helm sure wouldn't mind let his faithful servant have his way from time to time.

OOC: serious though... are we dead? I mean, com'on! we battled ONE HUNDRED water elementals to reach this darn cursed God-foresaken place... just so we can all rot here? git me a break!

A man in the corner of the Tavern had been watching the group. He was draped in sashes of Black with gold trimming. ~Lord will be pleased he will, that they made it this far. Methinks he may want to deal with them hisselfff...~ thought the snakelike man... ~It is tobad, it is, that Golum will has to destroy them,~ With that the Robed man left the Tavern completely unnoticed.

As Delita was about to take another sip of his ale, a Loud crash came through the wall behind him. Turning abruptly seeing a giant snakelike beast rise behind him, he drew his sword...

Skye and Lyulfe are standing still, hair turned grey, and dust and cobwebs collecting on their clothes, while the person they were attempting to talk to continued to ignore them. Ok, so that was OOC. ^_^;; someone mind reading the old thread, so im not stuck here forever? -_- i think the character was created by 250...

OOC: Skydracgrrl!!!! I posted back then!! damn
whatever, post again then!

--------------------------------------------------

"Lyulfe and Skye" Carlos said to the pair of elves "I say leave him alone" The paladin stated bluntly, "Larry and Mistral, Helm bless her, were heading to another location, it seems. Be done with him quickly." He then left the two and went after Larry
The old drinking stared at the paladin's back until he disappeared out of the sight, and smirked casually "a hardheaded fool he is" then he held his mug high, and fixed his sight in the liqor's surface, as if calculating "yeah, I do know things" raising his eyebrows, the man took a zip and continued with a low voice "how you got in here folks? I smell the saulty air 'bout, you got here by sea, didn't ya? Now look" he bent nearer to the group, and spoke in real low whispering tone "Lord Ember is up to something."

He sat back and began a more casual converse "You are here because you heard the troubles, correct? ask yourself how did you get in here? The rumors on the street said raiders are everywhere in the urban. It is an organized attack, some even say. The thief guildes are already going underground, some are moving out of the area all together." He looked about suspiciously, then remarked under breath "the rats smell trouble."

He took another zip, and then continued "The men in the army taled murderous shadows that kill before your eyes, and you see nothing" he waved his mug cross, and spilling a few drops of liqor "woosh, you are dead afore knowing it."

Shaking his head pitifully "no one knows what it is"

"and the men disappearing, be ware on that one. no one's ever found returning, those who are sent to the frontiers. now Lord Ember said they are defending towns and routes, but whos to tell? My cousin joint the army couple months ago, Mask bless his soul, havent heard from him since."

He presented a hand drawing picture of his cousin "ye help me find him, and everything he carries, and I DO mean everything. 'n I, in return, tell you what Lord Ember is up to. Deal?"

OOC- so sorry bout that 250! -_- i just looked back at the old thread, and saw your post. oops! ^_^;;

IC- Skye's look turned slightly thoughtful, as the man continued talking. After he was done, she spoke up. "Yes, you would be correct in that assumtion, that we came oversea. But as for your cousin, any specific items you wish to obtain? What I mean is, if your cousin is dead, which I sincerly hope he isn't, and his possessions are scattered, it would be difficult for me to know what he should have. Perhaps you could make up a list and give it to me at some time." Thinking back on the other tidbits of information that the man had given her, Skye asked "Do you mind if I just ask a few questions? Stop me if I start to get on your nerves, sometimes I get overly inquisitive, hehe," she said sheepishly. "What do you think those "killer shadows" are? And do you have any theories as to why all the thieving guilds are becoming cautious, and the sudden rumours of organized attacks from raiders? Obviously they must have some connection with whatever Lord Ember is scheming. I'm just curious as to what your view on the matter is, Sir...." Skye faltered slightly, then "If you don't mind me asking, may I perhaps know your name? If you'd rather not, that's alright, I would understand your reasons for secrecy." Skye then quickly grabbed her mouth, to make sure she didn't say anymore, afraid that she was starting to get on the man's nerves. He looked like he was about to laugh at the obsurd face she was making, as she tried to not talk. During this conversation, Lyulfe was quiet, watching to make sure that no one was able to overhear their conversation, and kept an eye on the man and Skye.

OOC- hey, 250, does the man still want the items, even if the cousin is still alive? and if the cousin is alive, does he want Skye to bring his cousin back? just wondering... *covers mouth*

She sits on the bed, running her slender fingers absently along the cool sheets. A moment of peace... for what? She can hear the voices floating up from below, and through the open window of the room.

Sighing, she gets up and walks towards the door. She reaches haltingly for the knob, then the shaking hand drops resignedly to her side. Why go down when she cannot partake in conversation? Why go down to be treated with pity?

Her lashes flutter, and she turns to face the velvety sky. The moon beckons; an incandescent bauble. How glorious the night is! She closes her eyes unbearably. If only she could... heart throbbing, she opens her mouth now and struggles.

"...ehh....ooh...aaaa...."

The pearls do not fall; they hang precariously from the eyelids but a quick blink sends them back to the tear-ducts. It was to be expected...

She continues standing there, wondering what the night will bring.
