OOC>> A TWO-TON PROJECTILE?!?!

How much does that warhorse weigh, Attalus??? You need to change his name from Shaitann to DodgeRam. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

IC>> The half-elf stood still with his hands held up in front of him. He looked to Legolas and answered his question.

"My name is Aric Hunter, but you can simply call me Hunter, for it is my occupation as well as my name. You ask what my connection with the mage has to do with your "mission" here. I know not. I have no idea what your mission is. MY mission is to find this mage, Julano, and return him to some people who are willing to pay me well for my efforts. I have scouted his stronghold for 3 days, but have yet to find a suitable way to gain entry into Julano's stronghold. There are traps, protections, and guardians everywhere - or so it would seem. I was seeking the shelter of your cabin so that I could rest before continuing my search when I heard your plan to just "walk in" and let yourself be captured. That's sounds very foolhardy to me, but I'm a man of opportunity. If you're willing to act as bait, then I'm willing to follow along with your lady friend and help watch your back. You seek your friend, I seek the mage himself. I propose we work together so that we may both survive the experience."

OOC>>LOL, Cerek, I am giving Shaitann the same dimensions as a Clydesdale (1600-2400 lbs. (See http://clydesusa.com/clydesdale_faq.htm). With a six-foot knight in full plate, not to speak of harness, etc., he could easily top two tons.

Cerek the Barbaric · 09-29-2002, 05:34 PM

WOW! [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] I knew Clydesdales were big, but I had no idea they were that heavy.

Legolas · 09-30-2002, 08:21 AM

OOC: Don't worry about the bandit, Ar-Cunin [img]smile.gif[/img]
Sanael will have little luck finding any more though...

IC: Legolas

He doesn't think Aric Hunter's tale too convincing, but any help would be useful. Also, there wasn't much time for arguing. Fighting would leave the victor weakened and so was out of the question.
The ranger resheaths his knife.

"Aric Hunter, my name is Legolas. I'd be happy to have your assistance.

Legolas - I've PMed you. Pls log on to MSN now if you can, so we can chat

Attalus · 09-30-2002, 09:04 AM

SIR BLANDAMOUR (The gargoyle has not yet turned completely as B's lance strikes him square in the chest. The iron point, undeflected by any armor, goes right through the horny hide and, smashing a rib, deflates a lung and a major blood vessel before emerging on the other side. Blandamour, feeling the lance beginning to strain, lets go and, using his heels alone, wheels Shaitann back to the staggering foe. The great sword Cold Iron whisks from its sheath.)

Galadria · 09-30-2002, 02:14 PM

ELIZA (The gargoyle is rolling about in agony, the lance still in his chest. As the huge head goes lolling past her, she seizes the opportunity and stabs it through the eye. It shudders and falls dead. She dismounts and cautiously examines it.)

Attalus · 09-30-2002, 06:26 PM

*Eliza sees a collar on the beast. It is made of wire and has a small locket attached.*

Galadria · 10-01-2002, 01:37 PM

ELIZA (Gingerly, she removes the collar from the dead gargoyle. She examines it carefully)

Ar-Cunin · 10-01-2002, 04:56 PM

Sanael Ganahr

gets up from his crouch

"I guess that there only were two bandits. Small loss."

Looks over at Eliza

"What is it that you have found, squire?"
