Jaime

Watching Rrang do his best to fight off the creatures made Jaime even more uneasy. All he had was a silly rapier of normal metal, no enchantments, no anything. He felt very useless indeed. Still determined to find a way to help...he stood his ground, not giving up hope. Maybe he could at least cheerlead for his brave companions...Would it do any good to give the secret signal?

Galadria1 · 01-21-2002, 07:05 PM

GALADRIA (Her unenchanted dagger is useless on the thing, which grips her ever tighter. She begins to find breathing difficult, so falls toward her sword, pulling the creature with her. Grabbing her sword again, she passes it in back of her enemy, grabbing the blade with her other hand. She saws determinedly, lacerating her left hand, but cutting the shadow apart. She stands over..nothing but a foul stench, breathing heavily, the blood dripping from her hand mixing with the rainwater rivering off of her armor.) "Egad, that was a bit of a dustup."

Jaime

Jaime runs over to Galadria as he begins to pull off his shirt, and rip a large piece from it.

"Here! Use this to stop the bleeding!
It is all that I have to offer you..."

Galadria1 · 01-22-2002, 02:52 PM

GALADRIA "Thank you, Jaime." (Wraps it around her hand. The rain stops.) "It seems that someone or something not only knows where we are, but has ill intentions towards us. Perhaps it were best if we sought more shelter, ere we sleep again." (they move off several miles, then find a cave to rest in.)

Bazguul

Servant: "My Lord! I have come at you request."

Bazguul: "Report...How did things go at the Tavern?"

Servant: "Very well, my Lord! Before the foolish man could speak, I sent a dagger into his back. They did not suspect me, as Jaime trusts me. "

Bazguul: "And what of the pary's escape? Did the Shadows succeed?"

Servant: (short pause...) "N...No. No, My Lord. They have been destroyed by the pink armored one. She has an enchanted sword."

Bazguul: Then send someone else. Do better this time. They are not to make it to their destination. You will see to it that they are stopped before they reach the old man, is that clear?"

Servant: Yes, my Lord! Certainly! I shall send more harm their way."

OOC>>>How many of you knew who the servant was before this post? I had made one clue a little more obvious than others...

Galadria1 · 01-22-2002, 06:01 PM

OOc>> Larry, I knew that Snake was doing the will of Bazguul, since the Second Murderer would not have been able to fight his way out of that circle of swords (mine at his heart!). Even if he had your +10 Dagger of Moderation. Therefore, he was murdering the Second Murderer. I didn't attack him because he was Jaime's friend, and I wanted to get Sorsha out of there alive. BTW< Byronas is hinting that the Order is going to fight you in 4 days. Is that something you two cooked up? Silly question!

OOC>>> [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I think I didn't realise the catch, Larry... eep [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Okay, things are still busy at my end, with no sign of letting up till perhaps the end of February. I will try to post when I can, but if I'm not around, please go ahead and do not wait for me (you can roleplay Eliza and Sorsha (as Galadria has kindly done in the past [img]smile.gif[/img] ), even Dalben

Sorsha

Apart from the rest, she sits on the ground, visibly shaken by the events of the night. Gazing around wearily, an air of wretchedness washes over her ~ I might as well admit defeat... I will never be half as brave andskilled as Galadria and the others. Even Eliza has the sense to put up a brave front, while I just gape or shield my eyes from violence.

Longing for his arms which are nowhere in sight, she closes her eyes for a brief respite and soon, her head droops before her chest, occasionally nodding away.

Eliza

Observing the wounds of the valiant Galadria, a grudging sense of respect begins to flow from within ~ Now that's a lady to champion our cause. A pity I did not train much in swordfighting... who knows? Perhaps, one day... ~ A tiny smile creeps onto her parched lips ~ ... one day, when we have made peace sufficiently, she might not be adverse to teaching me a trick or two.

Her eyelids lowering against her will, she succumbs to exhaustion and emits a single yawn. Stretching her arms out, she folds them behind her head and leans back against the chilly rock. Half a minute later, she is fast asleep.

Next Morning

At the break of dawn, the party rouses itself from slumber, almost alarmed that none of them had been able to stay awake for long. But the result is certainly rewarding, for a few hours' sleep is enough to rejuvenate them significantly.

Silently, the companions gather their belongings and continue on the journey towards the old mage, Dalben...

Dalben

Pacing around the room leisurely, he stares thoughtfully into the air. As the hours pass, he begins muttering to himself ~ "The time is almost come. The truth shall be revealed... and then what? Must I take sides now, or may I remain an observer?" ~ Pauses at his desk and reaches out onto the shelf to extract a leatherbound book.

Blowing the dust off the cover, he unhurriedly turns the pages, his eyes now gleaming as the memories return ~ Ah, yes... it all seems like yesterday... ~ Now mumbling a few words, he watches as the fumes rise from the book. When the air clears, he lifts it with both gnarled hands and hurls it into the fire.

The book bursts into flames and is all but disappeared within seconds.

Larry_OHF · 01-22-2002, 09:47 PM

OOC>>>I had posted both Snake and the evil Bazguul and his minion in Green, though that ws not much of a clue. But with the other clues, I knew somebody would get it. I was half expecting somebody to lash out at him, though! Ah, well...you'll have another chance soon.

Mistral, I am waiting for you to do something with Isaura. You removed her veil as I am asleep but then what?

Also, even if you are not around much...promise to at least look in on us and see the events unfold? It would mean alot to me for you to know the story. Also, go see the story that Jerome and I are writing on the other board!

OOC>>> Of course I would read up on this thread, Larry... hey, don't forget I started it!

[img]tongue.gif[/img] And which board are you referring to? OUAP?

IC>>>Isaura

Feeling the cold night air upon her cheeks and lips, she smiles faintly before walking aside. Upon her left cheek is imprinted a strange symbol, and she raises her hand to finger it, her eyes glittering in the moonlight.

Softly, she murmurs to herself, lost in deep thought:

"Guileless lass sets off in search
Chancing upon lonely birch
Charmed by beauteous artful one
Heart is much too eas'ly won

Baby girl is born from lust
Loses father much too fast
Helpless mother hunts for food
Gath'ring fruit from far-off wood

Lady delayed from return
Fire now ceases to burn
Baby dies of cold alone
Icy wind chills her to bone..."

Suddenly, she breaks into a sob. The tears begin streaming down her cheeks.

OOC>>> Alright, Larry, you can take it from here
