The Wanderers - Chapter 1 - "Initiation"

[Killing Spree]

Aoison
Village of Todmey, Market street

~Your friend, Lowell, stopped by as he walked down the streets. Lowell was exceptionally tall for a wood elf, had tousled brown hair, abyssal dark brown eyes, and... A crowd of women chasing him nearly everywhere he went. Lowell found some peace walking to your stand this morning. The ranger gave you a grin (something many lasses would die for) as he walked up.~ "Good morning Aoison! How are you today?"

[Killing Spree]

Arleth
Town of Mosreed, Streets

~A melodic voice came from behind and slightly to the right. It was feminine. Turning around you'd see Savannah, a pretty woman of wild elf ancestry. She too was a ranger, though she spent the most time on archery, and she was a bit younger. Her blonde hair was held back in an obviously hasty-made braid, and one of her hazel eyes winked at you. She gave a broad smile.~ "Heya Arleth!" ~Her grin turns slowly grim, she bites her lower lip. Her happy aura was now anticipating.~ "Ummm... I've kinda brought some bad news..." ~She looked down at her shuffling boots.~

(ooc: I'm waitin' for ya Elle. As for all the other peeps who have posted a second message- here ya go!)

Skye
The Metropolis of Rhykatam, An undiscovered alley

~As you edge closer into the alley the whimpering grows louder. Your confident expression turns puzzled. The alley is dank, damp, dusty, and very dark. Your elven ancestry comes in handy once again. Your infravision however, sees very little in the cold night. A streak of red catches the corner of your eye, and it appears something is shaking beneath a discarded box.~

Lerris
The Hamlet of Shadowrun, The Shadow's Keep Tavern

~Colby's smile grew wider at the meer presence of his friend. Your steaming cup of tea was before you within minutes. Colby then sat down across from you at the table, prepared to answer your questions.~ "Well, first off, Anny's fine." ~He spoke fondly of his wife, Anthea.~ "And as for news..." ~He leaned forward a bit, excited by the recent tidings.~ "I hear some exciting things are happening over the river. WAY down south by Marrowni." ~You understood why Colby seemed so interested, he'd grown up in Herafaline.~ "Seems some queer things are happening down in Karaci, odd priests building new shrines to dark deities." ~He chuckled.~ "But it'd take you a month to get down there. Maybe some news on Erikay? Not near as profound, but certainly closer!"

Murdock
City of Talever, Outside the Dragon's Clutch Tavern

~Before you could enter the tavern, a delicate hand falls on your shoulder. You finally notice that the bard's music has stopped. A whisper crawls into your ear, warm breath tickling the hairs on the back of your neck.~ "Stealing candy from a baby? Shame." ~You turn your neck to see the raven haired woman. The one who had been dancing. Her round green eyes curve upward in a soft smile.~ "You're a clever one, aren't you?"

Glorfindel
City of Evitan, Streets

~A worried young woman steps into view. Her pale golden hair is somehow familiar. She looks at you and with a stressed counenance.~ "Glorfindel! Have you seen Lily and Tallulah? They've been out since yesterday and I've been looking all over and if mum gets back... Oh! Have you seen them?" ~She looks at you anxiously. This woman known as Rayna, is the older sister of Lily and Tallulah. Oops on your part!~

Aoisan
Town of Todmey, Market street

~Lowell looked behind and found that indeed a small crowd was forming. He growled at the harem.~ "Oh leave me alone!" ~The group giggled and obeyed, muttering about how cute he was when he was angry. Lowell rolled his eyes as he turned back to his friend.~ "I feel like my life is a fox hunt sometimes, and they're the hounds!" ~He smiled.~ "You think if I steal somebody else's clothes and run through a river it'd throw 'em off the scent?"

Mistral
Village of Eastway, Paths

~Your walk leads you a little too close to the edge of the forest. A feral dog leaps out and clamps its jaw onto your arm. Startled, you fall backward and soon there is a small pack. You're still in a secluded area of the village, and nobody is there to see. You close your eyes in fear, trying to sink into the ground. Suddenly, the weight is gone. You open your eyes and see two of the dogs fleeing with a shriek, the leader dead at your side. You look quizically around and the elven woman appears into view, holding a bow and a helpless smile.~ "Ummm... You all right?"

[J'aran]

Aoisan - Market Street, Todmey

"Hey Lowell. Accompanied, as always, by your harem, I see?"
Aoisan grinned.
"You know, I can make a Potion of Ugliness for you if you ever need some rest.
So, what are you up to this morning?"

OOC>>> [img]tongue.gif[/img] Spree, my hyper-imaginative mind has just worked out a complete history of my character (pure drama and no tears - I promise! ). Mind if I slowly unfold it in the course of my future posts? Please say you have no objections!

IC>>>

Village Eastway (Encounter with elven woman)

Startled, she stands rooted to the spot, her dark brown eyes resting upon the confused elfin face. Sensing the distress of the woman, Mistral hurriedly glances at the map, despite the obvious answer she will have to give.

"I... I'm afraid I can't really help you..." ~ Adopting her most soothing tone and smiling apologetically at the elf ~ "I haven't travelled much, and wouldn't know if the map were outdated." ~ with alarm, she detects the slight pang in her heart and instantly frowns ~ Get a grip of yourself! This is a complete stranger... no need to get so worked up. ~ Yet involuntarily, her right hand has reached into her pocket and now emerges. Depositing a handful of coins onto the elven woman's delicate hand, she continues ~ "Well, to be on the safe side, I would suggest that you purchase yourself the latest map available in the stores. This should cover the cost."

Casting her a final polite smile, she turns, ready to continue on her journey...


OOC>>> Off to bed now. G'nite all [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

Murdock

"It takes a professional to know a professional, I see! My, my, but you are a darling! Tell me, are you a loner or in service of a guild?"


Murdock, despite his calm reproach and control over his voice, still feels very uneasy about being caught by the supposed victim. If she was trained enough to catch him...who else was? Maybe this young lass is an agent for the guards!

Murdock began to worry now and think of his possible escape routes and tricks...

[Holy Knight Delita]

~Lance Dragonhart~
The City of Croshent

~Hmmm... Troops, maybe i could enlist. See action, visit the world,~ Approaching the man brushing by several people, he seized the flyer and began reading...

OOC>>> When i type like this, ~It means im thinking~
Just incase you didn't know

[Elif Godson]

"Neever fear Cadell, those freak's barely got a rise outta me. Did you happen to finissh off the run away?" "NooI am afraid I didnt. It's still over there, what do you plan to do with it?"
I suppose we could drag it back to town and let the elder's interrogate it, or we could kill it and follow there track's to where they came from, what d'ye think?"

[Talthyr Malkaviel]

Wandering around Croshent

Garaeth was feeling slightly bored that day, he felt a need to be doing something, no matter how trivial, he could even do with some of that arduous physical training Sir Tyrus administered now, at least to take his mind off things.

(ooc: NOTICE! The map will be scanned up today or tonight. I just need to clean it up a bit as the current one is kind of... Spreeish... )

Murdock
City of Talever, Outside the Dragon's Clutch Tavern

~Her tanned face turns to amusement. She smiles softly.~ "Don't worry, I won't tell." ~You can feel her nimble fingers tracing around your shoulder.~ "There is some honor amongst thieves, yes?" ~She smiles.~ "Guilds are a path to war. I am alone... Just as you are." ~She chuckles.~ "Lovely life, isn't it?"

Lance
City of Croshent, Streets

This is what the paper says:
Your very own King Nevin VI is searching for the finest to join the ranks of his army. We all know the dreadful things of the Red Silence, and our revolutionary ruler plans to do something about it! Join now, see the world, and should you survive, be payed handsomely! The people are counting on YOU!

Daelinda
Town of Erikay, Fields

~She bit her lip for a moment, then looked over at Daelinda.~ "I think it'd be better if we brought it back. Terrible things in orc country, don't wanna get killed!" ~The dwarf started scuttling toward their future captive.~ "C'mon then!"

Garaeth
City of Croshent, Streets

~Eben, one of your fellow apprentices, walked past humming.~ "Good day Garaeth!" ~He smiled. Eben was one of the most promising apprentices of the lot.~ "Excited about the trials? I was on my way to go practice so more actually. Care to come?"
