The One Eyed Wolf - Lost Rogue

[Killing Spree]

(ooc: I'm going to try to get Maverick to a stopping point now that Deiter's back...)

~They were finished with their meal at the five flagons, and walking to the docks when the red scythe on her arm began to flame ferociously. She removed her arm from Maverick's swiftly, clenching it in pain. A low his emerges from her throat, watching in horror as a stream of light shoots from the wrist to the nearby forest. She gives the wood-elf a mortified look before sprinting to the woods, trying to ignore the pain.~

~He stands shocked as she rushes to the forest, taking after her after moments that seemed to be parilyzed. He makes it to her side within the minute, she had something clenched tightly in her hand. He tries to look over her shoulder, his voice serious and concerned.~ "Chani... What's wrong? What is that in your hand? Chani?!"

~She twirls the leaf around in her hand. She sniffs back tears. The scythe had not burned its own shape. It had burned a sword. Albeit a bit crooked, but it was a sword. She whispers to herself.~ "Leafblade..." ~She looks at Maverick, straightening and giving an ironic smile.~ "He is near! Somewhere... Ah Deiter, he's here!" ~She holds up the leaf as if to give proof.~

~He looks surprised at the leaf, looking at the now calm scythe on her wrist. He peers at the leaf, dis-believing the shape, then turns back to her.~ "I take it this 'Deiter' is the man who needs to lose his head?" ~His black eyes look seriously into her blue ones.~ "I'll shatter the skull that shattered your heart dear one, you know this."

~She looks up into his dark ebony eyes.~ "Maverick... I..." ~She bites her lower lip, looking back at the leaf and its charred shape.~ "I..." ~She gropes for words in what seemed to be a void of vocabulary.~

~He shakes his head, brow creasing. An silver hoop at the end of his tapered ear glimmers in the setting sun.~ "You still care for one who harmed you so?" ~His shakes his head again.~ "I knew Cyrus for many moons more than you Chani... And yet it surprises me how you are so like him. He was betrayed one too many times. Don't make the same mistakes."

~She shivers in-voluntarily at the seemingly lifeless eyes.~ "And yet I am unlike Cyrus. I will not leave someone I love..." ~She quickly embraces the wood elf, speaking to his tapered ear.~ "I came too close to making that mistake... Forgive me." ~Without looking back she starts a quick pace down the cobblestone to re-kindle her search for Deiter.~

~He looks hopelessly on as she starts down the road. She was too far for ear-shot now. He watches as she dissapears to god knows where. He finds it to smile and an onyx twinkle crosses his eye~ "I need to check into an asylum... I just tried to steal the heart of the girl I took bathes with as a toddler." ~He laughs to himself, walking off to who knew where, twiddling the leaf between his fingers.~

[Deiter Leafblade]

ooc: Woohoo!! finally got done reading all of it! Hmm now I need to think of why Deiter was gone for so long.

I am online, everyone!
Low budget romance, eh??? grrrrr...you're just jealous!
You wish Deiter would lock you and him up in a cave, somewhere...

ooc: GASP! Larry, have you been reading my diary again?!

Really Larry, that's lame. Caves don't have locks.

Then tell me how the heck to get outta the one I am locked in at the moment!!!

[mistral4543]

ooc: Well, Larry? Got the solution yet?

EDIT: Remember what I said... if you need hints or just want out, post your character's action and I'll take it up from there. Mistral wants a chance to show off her intelligence, too, you know...

finally giving up after studying on it, Larry responds...

"Well, the note mentions key in the plural form, yet we only have one. The urns that are in front of the two statues are obviously a clue, yet I would be afraid to switch bowls or something. I...I cannot see the solution, dear."

ooc...bravo! You have me completely baffled on this one!

[Killing Spree]

ooc: Don't make me smirk at you Larry. You're asking for it.

Hrm... Deiter... Not sure what to do... Give my gifted head a moment, I'll think of something... HRM...

Mistral looks up, startled by Larry's sudden speech. She had been pondering over this "simple game" and a smile had crept onto her lips. She walks over to him and points to the urns ~ "I don't think the riddles refer to real physical keys. You see, nightshade, being deadly in nature, is a poison. And mummies, as we all know, carry diseases which they contaminate others with."

Her eyes twinkle ~ "The key to this red urn would be to cure the poison, and the key to the black one would be to cure disease." ~ Pausing for a moment, she continues ~ "The riddle says to reverse the keys. So...let's see what happens..." ~ Fishes out a potion each of cure poison and cure disease. She places the cure disease potion in the red urn, and the cure poison potion in the black one.

For a moment, there is complete silence. Then, the wall directly behind the kneeling figures begins to rotate, the ground shaking violently all the while... the wall turns to a perpendicular angle to reveal another passage ahead.

"Shall we?"
