The City of Waterdale - Page 11

Timoj withdraws from the window as the last ogre falls.

"Well boys," he says to his two helpers, both standing slightly taller than the halfling, "You asked what ogres looked like when I told you how I once saved the entire village with nothing but a handful of berries, now you have seen some yourself. Big, mean and very smelly. The stench will probably hang around for days, so we'd best stay away from that part of town as much as possible."

They both nod, eagerly accepting Timoj's words of wisdom.

"What I don't understand is why they attacked the kobolds. I may have missed the first bit, but I wouldn't be surprised if they actually came to help our village. Most of them are decent people these days, helpful too. And I doubt they were a threat to the village in the first place.
Ah well. Brand, you keep an eye on the store, okay. It's 25 silvers for each loaf. Andy, do you think you can start work on tomorrows bread by yourself? I'll have a walk around the village."

The boys move downstairs, swiftly followed by the baker.

As the messenger came running, Saturos realized that this was the time where the big guys were to be left alone. "Lucky for me," he thought, as he would like to stay uninvolved when the big decisions are to be made.

Saturos turned around, and followed his guards to the barracks. He remember that he still hadn't introduced himself to them, so when all the six guards had gathered in the barrack, he started speaking.
"Good work today," Saturos said, and smiled. "I suddenly became aware that I have yet to introduce myself to you. I am Saturos, a warrior Monk from the lands long south of here. I am the new guard captain, and you will be reporting to me, and I again will be reporting to those higher than me."
Giving his men some time to either sigh out loud or start rejoicing, Saturos paused a second before he continued. "I know that you just returned from a battle, however how small it was, but there are a few things I would like to say before I give you some time to rest or take a bath or whatever.
Secretmaster hired me because I was most qualified to the job, which I think is the right decision. There will be a few minor changes in the way you perform your jobs. You will notice nothing different at the moment, but you probably will after some time.
Lastly, I would just like to say that you are all very qualified in this job, and that you performed very well today during the ogre-attack. Keep up the good work, guys."
Turning around, and walking against the door, Saturos suddenly stopped, and turned back. "Oh, and one last thing," he said. "If you have any questions or problems or anything, feel free to come to me. I will be staying at the inn for a while. so that's where you'll find me."

Saturos walked out, and headed towards the inn where Eruna appearently also was staying. He payed the man behind the counter enough gold for a week, recieved his key, and went to his room up in the 2nd floor. Nearly collapsing from exhausion, he threw himself down at the bed. "I hope I didn't show off as too much of an asshole," he thought, and fell asleep.

Arias De'Minal · 02-10-2003, 10:23 AM

Arias stretches and yawns as the messanger leeaves. He realizes now how tired his traveling has made him. None the less he heads back to the mayors office, pondering if this will make a good tale in the end.

OOC> Legolas, its 2gp and 5sp for bread. Oh, never mind, I just realized that 25sp is 2gp and 5 sp.

Caravan- Realizing that the threat is over, the caravarn party that arrived now gets out from underneath the caravan. They now bring the caravan to west of the small village, right by the bakery and the Warehouse. They soon start unpacking their belongings from the crates. When they finally finish, 3 men head to the Town Hall. After they leave, 4 people from the caravan party comes up to the bakery. Walking in, they go up to one of the workers. "S'cuse me milord, but we are desparetly hungry. What the cost of 3 loaves be? And could you tell us where we can find meat and drink?"

Guards- Giving a nod of approval after Saturos makes his speech, they all proceed to the barracks to wash up. But before they go, one guards speaks. "Sir Saturos, would you teach us how to fight like you? I must say, it is no easy task to take down a single ogre with bare hands. Maybe you could teach us how to fight like a monk."

SecretMaster- Looking out his window, he sees Arias heading towards the building. Daxunyrr appears to be quickly scanning the surroundings, and observing the dead ogres. "I knew he'd be well worth hiring. He has proved himself worthy. And hopefully this Arias will be a good diplomat." With those words spoken, he sits down and waits for everyone to get in.

Dalstur-Heading on in, he notices 3 men coming to the Hall. He stops and greets them. "So, you are the caravan party."

Post later

ic:Lyrahrae sat on the edge of his bed, sobbing, he looked up as Eruna came in,
'Master, we should leave, we only just came, and I've already threatened people here.'
Pausing for a moment, Lyrah turned his head, so Eruna could not see his tears.
'What if one of them sees me change, or decides to attack me? I can't do anything then...'

Beaumanoir · 02-10-2003, 02:33 PM

*ERUNA*

No, we cannot leave. I have still not found the herb for your cure. Fret not, we will have this magic academy built soon enough, then I will have the facilities I need to control you in this state. Until then, try to keep calm, and anger not. Fight it.

*Eruna walked to the corner and pulled a murkey bottle out of his case. He passed it to Lyrah and stood up*

"If you ever feel like the transformation is inevitable, drink this. It is a potion I bought from Regis. It is designed to stop polymorphs, so I am not 100% if it will work on yourself or not. But Its worth a try. But don't drink it if you dont need it. They're not cheap you know.

Hm, The mayor wishes to see me. I must be off. If you need me, I will be at his office.

*Eruna turned and walked out, grabbing a slice of bread as he did so*

Sir Exxon · 02-10-2003, 02:37 PM

OOC: This happens before Saturos goes to the inn:

Saturos smiles, and looks at the soldier who spoke.
"Well, it is not something taught in a few lessons. It is something you must learn over years. Not only do you have to be strong, you also must have knowledge of many martial arts. Some knowledge about the body's chemistry also helps alot, believe it or not. And perhaps more important than everything else, is that you must be in full control of your body and mind. I meditate daily, to improve my skills."
He smiled again and continued, glad that someone seemed to be interested in his knowledge about fighting. "So, as I said, it is not something that can be learned in a few lessons. But as I plan to take you out for trainings, just to see what you already know of fighting, perhaps I will start to teach you the basics of some martial arts."

OOC: This is after Saturos have rested:

Saturos jumped out of bed, and stretched out. He had not felt so refreshed for years - even though he hadn't been asleep for long.
As the sun now stood high on the sky, he figured out that it was a couple of hours after noon, which means he had been asleep for about four hours. "Looks like it's gonna be a fine day," he thought, gazing up at the cloud-less sky. "A great opportunity to head out and explore Waterdale, and get to know it's villagers."
With these thoughts in mind, Saturos locked the door behind him, and walked out from the inn, whistling.

Lord High Eater of Legs · 02-10-2003, 03:05 PM

ic:Lyrahrae nodded to his master, and fell back on his bed. Soon the young elf was dreaming, his mind lost in a deep sleep.

A beautiful woman clad in a white robe walks towards Lyrah, it seems as if there is an aura of light about her. She steps up to him slowly, and places her hand on his forehead, softly calming his thoughts.
'Mother'
Lyrah said, now knowing who the beautiful woman was.
'Yes Lyrahrae, It is I. Your father wishes you well. We are sorry we had to leave you with master Eruna, but he is the only one who could possibly cure you.'
After a pause she carried on,
'Your father and I...We have something for you. It will let you control your lupine state if you wear it, however, the cure your master searches for will need to be used on it, you must decide between controlling yourself, or destroying your other half.'
Lyrahrae's mother stretched out her arm, to Lyrah, she held in it a silver chain, with a glowing Ruby pommeled in it.
Lyrah reached up, crystalline tears dripping down his cheeks.
'Thankyou mother' He whispered, softly,
As Lyrah took the chain, his mother's pearly dress turned a dark black, and she started to change.
'No, Mother, No!'
Tears were now streaming down Lyrahrae's face, but these were different tears, tears of fear.
The Wolf reared up and slashed it's paw across Lyrah's chest.

Lyrahrae woke up, his heart beating wildly, sweat soaking his body. He felt something cold around his neck, he put his hand into his tunic, and pulled out a silver chain, with a glowing ruby enpomelled in it.

TheGrandSlayer · 02-10-2003, 03:52 PM

Daxunyrr walks over to the gaurds, noting he never truly introduced himself "Greetings, I am Daxunyrr, your new general, I will check on you daily and give you rules by tomarrow morn, some of you might think I'm a bastard later, but I assure you its for the good of the people, good day to you," he then walks over to Dalstur "We should report to the mayor,"

02-10-2003, 11:39 PM

Dalstur-Finishing chatting with the caravan, the people head on in, along with Daxunyrr and Dalstur. They both walk into the office, and Eruna quickly follows them. SecretMaster begins to speak, for everyone summoned is attending the meeting.

SecretMaster-"Now, now. Everyone please settle down. By now, I'm sure all of you have been aquainted. I can also assume that you all know why you are here. You are here because you are all my trusted advisors. Now then, news travells rather quickly in a small town like this. We all know of the attacks by now. We still do not have a motive. My best guess is that the kobolds followed the caravan, looking for an easy fight. The ogres, I cannot tell yet." He pauses.
"I am faced with a grave situation. We have little men, little supplies, and no defenses. If we continue this way, our town will be a lost cause. And so, this is why I am asking all of you to ignore this affair." Everyone looks shocked at these words. "This is a potentially dangerous situation, and it will be cleared up with the help of Arias, and Arias alone. I will be aiding him too. So I ask all of you, to stay calm, and do not interfer. Dalstur, I trust that you will be on full guard."

Dalstur-"You know me, I'm always on guard."

SecretMaster-"Very good then. Now Daxunyrr, I heard you saying that we need a tower for defense. Right you are, and I urge you to get as many people as you can to start building. Eruna, I'll need your magical talent. Oriran is known for its illusions and stealthy creatures. I'll be needing you to place True Seeing wards on every single building. We have a few in our basement. Arias, meet me upstairs, on the third floor, the room with the big table and the map. If there are any questions, please ask now. And Eruna, I must speak to you, about a certain affair. I trust you know what it is."
