Oh well...Lemme see what I can do...

IC>>>

A strange noise is heard in the distance and the darknes is hiding something. A rustle of grass is barely audible, but in the dead quiet of the night, it was loud enough to know that something was there.

Inside the tent, Raymond shifts uneasily. His dreams are stirring him in his sleep, yet something else seems wrong in the real world...and he can feel it. He opens his eyes finally, immediately seeking the location of Isaura, and when he sees her shadowed figure outside the tent, he visibly relaxes, grateful that she was at least still there and seemingly safe...

GALADRIA(As the dawn arose, she roused as the first light touched her face.) "Ho, awaken, all. It is a new day, and there has been no new attempt upon us. Strange, I cannot remember nodding off. Perhaps it was an enchantment? Ah, well, I shall not worry about it. Good enchantments can occur, as well as bad." (They gather , have breakfast from some mulberries that are growing there, she having examined them and found them free of magical taint. They set out again.)

Jaime

As they were walking, Jaime decided to get a little practice in with his rapier. It was all he really had now, and it could mean his life of death to learn how to wield it well. So, during this time of not having much to do, he practiced with it. Learing it's weight, learing how to throw it, learning how to slice and dodge. This activity brought a snicker or two from his travelling band, but Jaime did not mind. They would not be laughing when he saved their hides with his new skill!
After many days on the road, Jaime's hands were callused and hardened, and he had a better understanding of his weapon. Of course, Galadria had given him a few pointers to consider and taught him a few basic manuvers. He was quite proud of himself for talking the initiative to learn something. He wished that Azure and Snake could see him now!

OOC>>>Jaime now has been given one proficiency in a short-sword. Before-hand, he had one proficiency in a dagger. Does anyone have a problem with how he required his proficiency?

Galadria1 · 01-23-2002, 09:35 AM

OOC>>Heck, no, oh Modding Mage. Maybe next time he can get one of those darn shadows off of my char.'s back. [img]smile.gif[/img] ic>>
GALADRIA (Practises with Jamie) "Now, remember, always attack in terce or quintze. If you try to do open with an overhand stab in prime, or an underhand rip in octavo, you leave your opponent an opening to stab you in the chest or eye. En garde! One, two, now, come in in sixte. That's the way! Seven, eight. No, no, you've left me an opening in carte." (Bears in, disarming him). Well, that's enough for one day. Supper time! Eliza! Have you done cooking, yet?
ELIZA (glares) "No!" (grease pops from the pan onto her face)
"Ow! Why do I have to cook? I hate it. How about Sorsha? I'll bet she would do better than me."

OOC>>>Wow! Nice training lesson! I have no idea what you just said!

Jaime

Jaime puts his rapier away and washes his hands for the meal. As he was doing so, he was thinking about how glad he was to have seen his two friends, Snake and Azure doing well for themselves and happy. That meant alot to him. Maybe after this adventure, he would go back to the city...maybe this time to stay...

Galadria1 · 01-23-2002, 06:44 PM

OOC>> First time I've out-guessed a mod. [img]smile.gif[/img] . I took fencing lessons when I was in training to let off steam. IC>>
GALADRIA (to Eliza) "We must all take our turns. It will serve you well, learning to cook. When some servant of your ruins your dinner, you can tell them how they did it wrong." (looks in pan) "It is too, done. Take it off. If you make us kill another deer because you overcook everything, I shall let Rrang deal with you." (Eliza looks in fear at Rrang) (Galadria laughs.) "Never fear. I merely jest with you. That looks fine." (to everybody) "Come and get it. Our little princess has made us some fine venison steaks."

mistral4543 · 01-23-2002, 07:31 PM

As everyone tucks in to sample the culinary skills of Eliza, she watches anxiously as they each lift a piece of venison dubiously and place it in their mouths. The tension is so great that she almost dares not continue scrutinising their reactions.

But her bravery is soon rewarded, as she spots the appreciative sparkle in almost everyone's eyes... everyone, except Rrang, who probably preferred meat in its raw state.

The meal completed, Sorsha jumps to her feet and begins tidying up the place, careful to dispose of any clues that might hint of their presence. Already the danger of this journey has taught her a thing or two about survival, and eagerly does she try to contribute in whatever way she can. If anything, to shut up the lovely bard.

Minutes later, the party gets up and moves towards the village once more. It is now about a day's travel before they reach the mage, Dalben...

As the party is thus travelling on the open road, and the sun is bright in the sky, Jaime notices Rrang stop and sniff the air. Stopping himself, he listens and hears a distant thundering noise. Looking back over his shoulder, he only sees a cloud of dust along the path.

"I think there are riders coming this way."

As everyone in the party now has stopped and turned to look, indeed they can see for certain that there are numerous riders coming their way. Rrang begins to growl...or something...nobody could ever figure him out, but nevertheless, they knew that he did not like what he was smelling.
