He watched the dusting of the vampire at a distance. It seemed this group was most effective at locating vampire coffins. Good thing he was still of the living, or they might have come after him instead.
But now, he would have to get closer to them. His heart was pounding in his chest, his mind swirling with visions of power, bloodshed and maniacal laughter. Both the woman in the pink armour and the druid posessed enough power to make him the equivalent of a demigod, his for the taking if he could slay them in their sleep. Through the crystal set upon his brow he could channel their energies, then overtake the other if she did not get away soon enough. If he succeeded, the world would finally accept him, out of admiration and respect, or true terror. He would be the Nightlord then, and have a grand future. But first, he needed to get close enough.

As the party left the cave, a fair young man with hair shining golden in the sunlight stepped out on the path, right hand raised in silent greeting.
"Good day, my friends. I am Lohran, eldest son of the mayor Truehartof Witchy Wood. Could I be of assistance?"

OOC and EDIT: Whoa! Time sure does fly around here. One post it's morning and the next thing you know afternoon and evening are gone with it...

She turns quickly looking at the young man.......~a low growl escapes her lips~ She quickly pulls up the hood of her cloak and swirls in a circle. As the dust settles a large silver wolf with amber eyes, and a platinum amulet bracer about its neck, stands in her place. ~snarls~ It moves over to the woman knight, standing by her side, hackles raised, and sends a brief image to the woman's mind.........~ (BAD SMELL), (DARKENED SKY FLAMES)~.............

Julano

This was not at all what he had planned. He had taken this new body and woven protective spells to keep his true nature hidden. He did not think of himself as evil, after all, he was only trying to make most outof his life. And if that meant he would have to kill, there was nothing wrong with that. Soldiers killed for money. Assassins murdered for coin. He only took a life if that would truely increase his own chances of survival. And those he killed, well, they were either a threat to him or they would be.
Just now, these people had killed one of his loyal servants. Did that make them evil? They likely though highly of themselves, doing good and all that. In truth, they had probably killed more misunderstood beings for misguided morals than he would ever slay.
They might kill him here, for no good reason other than their unfounded suspicions. They could chase him off, but then he would have to take another life to get close to them. Hostile actions from their side would only result in the deaths of 'innocent' people.

So, he chose to ignore the threat. Any chance of teaming up he would accept. And if the worst came to the worst, and the paladins attacked, he could plead for help with the shapeshifter. After all, he would be the underdog in the fight and the druid would be honour bound to help protect him fo rthe sake of balance and all such vague things.

"Ho there. I seek no quarrel with you. If I did, this knife would not be of much use against those blades and that armour anyway.
Why the mistrust? I offered my name and aid, yet you react as if stung by a serpent. If you'll be alright without me, you can simply say so, can you not?"

Galadria · 02-21-2002, 06:51 AM

OOC>>Sorry, Larry, but we kinda had to. Anyway, you could say that the coffin that we found wasn't Syla. After all, we didn't identify her, and there's no shortage of pretty female vampires , take any book of Anne Rice (better you than me) IC>>
GALADRIA(She puts her shield up)"Who are you. My friend distrusts you, and I have reason to trust her judgement! Speak, and speak well if you would not feel our steel."

Julano

"I have told you mere moments before, my lady. I am the son of mayor Truehart. When I've heard your party was in the region, I decided to go look for you."

Every word true, he knew. Though not in te way these people might think.

"But when I arrive and greet you in as friendly a way as one could expect, swords are drawn and my life is threatened. I know these are troublesome times, with the vampire stalking this region, and I can understand you all wish to be careful. Yet were I a vampire I would have burned in the sunlight already.
But why is it you believe your weaponry gives you the right to question me, at a time you have not even shown me the courtesy of your names? Verily, if you mistrust humans so, I shall thank you for looking in on the vampire matter and turn back to my village."

He started turning back towards the woods.

Galadria · 02-21-2002, 01:14 PM

GALADRIA (To Julano)"No, you may not leave ere we question you further. Evil is abroad in this land and we must question everyone, especially the ones that my Druid friend reacts to so."

OOC: I wonder if everyone'd have been as suspicious had I posted the Julano after the transformation in a different colour with a different name on top?

Julano

"I am sorry, but I believe I will depart now. I have no desire to speak with anyone waving swords in my direction, least of all those who act on whims. You travel with a wolfwere in your midst, yet you claim to fight evil. I've heard songs about weird traveling companions before, but really, threatening to beat answers out of someone trying to be friendly, because of the suspicios nature of a beast cannot befit noble warriors. It is rahter the workings of a band of thugs. I do think I will return to the village. My father will see to it that you get the gold you look to be after. A good day."

Julano took the first step into the forest, seemingly not caring what the travelers might do.

OOC: oh PFFFT Larry !!! *LMAO* Legolas, my character is a shapeshifting Druid, she would react that way to anyone...sorry

IC:Her eyes flash silver, and a swirling cloud of dust appears. Dark clouds are hovering in the sky, with the hint of a terrible rain storm. The smell of rain on the air, entices TAO. As the swirling cloud disappears, TAO is standing there once more, her eyes glowing softly watching the young man disappear, knowing he has failed the first test.......................
