Rong Er
As she hovered about in the waters, her instincts told her that she was being watched, even if she could not spot anyone directly approaching her. Yet, the sky seemed to suddenly be more inhabited by feathered creatures than usual and it took her five seconds before she realised the situation and considered her next move. Better to just dive again, I suppose. ~ It was then that she felt herself being yanked and heart thumping, she quickly glanced down. There was nothing there! But she knew otherwise. Though her attacker did not seem to want to drown her at any rate, he or she certainly had no intention of letting go of her foot. The thought of the implications of this move infuriated her. No one gets away with insulting me like that! ~ Time seemed to slow for the next few seconds. She saw herself lift her right hand, gripping the three needles with her thumb and slamming her palm down towards the invisible hand. That hideous hand that molested her foot and sent waves of aggravated humiliation washing across her face... [ 01-26-2004, 07:11 PM: Message edited by: mistral4543 ] |

ooc- darn, all the exciting things happen while I'm gone... *pout* ah well, snowboarding was fun [img]smile.gif[/img]
ic- Lyulfe made as if to jump over the edge as well, but Skye quickly grabbed his wrist. He looked at her in consternation. "I've got to do something, I've got to help!" he growled, but the usually cheerful and light-hearted bladebard gave her companion a serious look. "Who are you going to help, Rong Er, or the others following her?" When he looked away, she added gently "We will cause more harm than help out there in the water, because we do not know what to do in the ocean. We are needed here. We can help ease the pain, whether he deserved it or not. What happens to Rong Er will be up to the Fates." The tall elf's shoulders slumped slightly, and he turned back to face Skye. "You're right, for once. And now would be a very inopportune time to reveal..." he trailed off. The bladebard nodded knowingly, and the two went to Morgemil's cabin where he lay unconscious and breathing heavily. One of the sailors were nursing a bruised face. "We can help ease his suffering and give him dreamless sleep, but you will have to leave the room for us to perform well," Skye addressed the others. "You may stand outside the door if you wish, but do not come in unless I say, no matter what you hear. When one is poisoned and ill, they do not know what they speak," she addressed Morgemil's bodyguard. Lyulfe slipped out of the room and quickly returned with Skye's harp in hand. "Thank you. If we're lucky, Lyulfe and I may be able to stave off the spread of the poison, but I have to find out more about the poison first," she continued, then waited for a response to her offer of help. |

Calarlyth wasn't amused. So far he had been standing next to Skye, and when everyone ignored him, he walked over to the other end of the ship, at the prow. He was happy that no-one was paying him any attention, however. His dragonet murmured in his mind, "How long will it be until this is over?", Ary asked mournfully. "I don't know..." Cal whispered back, his eyes distant. The dragonet just nuzzled his master's neck, his nose tickling the elf slightly. Calarylth just smiled, somewhat sadly. He hoped the rest of the trip would not be like this...

feeling the sting of the needles in his hand, Corinthian grabbed on with his left hand and tugged on Rong Er hard, pulling her under the water's surface. If I am to die here I will take this welp with me into the depths Fighting against the rising burning pain of the poison Corinthian kept diving against the struggling girls punch's and repeated stabs.
The large albatrose was mildly annoyed with the owl and pecked at its head as the owl came in.... |

Plaxica saw the shadowy shape dragging Rong Er down towards deeper waters. He grabbed Rong Er's hand, shifted back into an owl shook himself once and then with powerful strokes of his wings he tried to lift her to the surface.
OOC: my character thinks that she is the only one to save Mormegil so he will keep trying.

Rong Er
Spluttering amidst the choppy waves, she scowled as she felt the invisible hand continuing on its death grip on her right foot while her left hand was now painfully gripped by the tentacles of a swooping owl. Each force seemed to be challenging the other, herself being the prize. In a flash, she raised her right hand and plucked out an intricately designed hair ornament. At the next opportunity, when her head was up above the water, she inhaled deeply... and plunged herself into the water, her left hand yanking the owl down into the water and her right hand shoving the piercing edge fiercely at what was most likely to be the invisible person's chest. Father, I will see again in my next life... ~ Spending the last few ounces of her strength and consciousness, she stabbed and pulled repeatedly... |

Even against the strokes of his powerful wings Plaxica got pulled underwater. With his free claw he clawed at the hand which was pulling him down. Sensing the grip become slightly weaker he shapeshifted back into a human and kicked down with his feet. As he reached the surface he took a deep breath. He saw the stuggle continue down below him. He decided that he could not free Rong Er from the hands of that shadowy creature. He decided to wait out who the winner would be. He tried shapeshifting into an owl so that he would be able to circle above, but because of all of the water on his wings he could not fly so he remained in his human form and swam about 10 meters away from the battle and started to wait.

OOC>>>Man but this is getting rather chaotically exciting, eh? I wonder what the DM thinks of all this? Can't wait to see who lives and who drowns.

OOC>>> She's just going to pass out after all the exertion, you know [img]tongue.gif[/img] So, I'm not posting for her. I guess next move is dplax's. The question is, who does he save first?
