Hazardous Times: Chapter XII - Yet More Intrigues - Page 23

OOC>>> I have developed sore eyes over more than a week, and I suspect it's due to over-exposure to the computer , from work. That, along with my back problem, seems to mark the beginning of a declining health.

Sorry everyone, I think I need a break from all this madness (not IW; work) as well as give my body a chance to recuperate by not antagonising it further outside office hours. I will be thinking of all of you, even when I do not post here.

If for whatever reason, you'd like to get in touch with me privately, you may do so at acolsnobe@yahoo.com I can't promise an immediate reply, but I WILL reply at some point.

I love you all.

OOC>>Don't worry, Mistral, you just get weel. I personally think that you are overworking, but I guess there's nat a lot that you can do. I'll be thinking of you, *hugs* IC>
ELIZA (To Blandamour) "My lord, who are those men? Why do they want to accompany us? I have a bad feeling about this. Can't you just make them go away?"

OOC>>No probs Mistral [img]smile.gif[/img] Get well soon ya hear?

Verloren
She settled back behind the bush with a huff, "She? Do you mean this Nataskia? Why would she send undead things out to look for us if shes powerful enough to do it herself?" she watched as the thing walked on a bit, looked around, then turned and walked back the way it came, always looking from side to side.

ILLEK (Peers out from between the branches) "She has many of these and only one pair of eyes, herself. This way, she can attend to affairs and her pleasures without constantly being alert. She only hears from these things if they se something that she has instructed to hunt for , or if they are killed. So, we will let this one pass by. And, yes, the Lady Nataskia is the one I mean. Try not to mention her name too often, she has many ways of hearing, some of which I do not know."

Verloren
She chewed on her tongue and stepped out of the bushes after the thing had passed beyond her line of sight, "But why would she be looking for me? She shouldn't even know we're coming....unless she saw you and Drajlough talking?" she looked back at him with an arched eyebrow

Attalus · 09-05-2002, 09:22 PM

OOC>> Finally! You saw it! IC>>
ILLEK (Turns to Verloren with a twisted smile on his well-shaped lips) "Of course, she did. Not much goes on in that house that shedoesn't know about. Besides, she was standing right there." (Stoops down, lowers voice, so that all she can hear is a whisper.) "I have been regretting the part that I agreed to play in this, since I found you, so beautiful and free. And my regrets have grown with each mile that I have travelled with you. I must tell you, now, before something irrevocable happens. You are being betrayed by your former lover. Lady Nataskia was going to execute him, after catching him with one of her slave women. But, he praised your beauty to her, and awakened her appetite." (the smile grows cynical) "You see, her rapacity does not confine itself to males. She enjoys her female slaves just as much. Drajlough's deal that he made with her was that, if he could lure you to her tower, where she could capture you with ease, she would let him go. Or, perhaps be returned to her favor, I am not sure, for they talked long apart. At any rate, my role was to lure you to him, and he would pretend to flee with you, but would lead you into a trap. You would then be hers, and the deal done. I would have received a finder's fee. But now, I do not choose to do this thing. I have done foul things, but not this. Come along, let us go. I would have you back safe with your party. Even Lady Nataskia would hesitate to tackle Blandamour of the Iron Arm." (He rises as to go.)

Verloren
Verloren's face had steadily gotten darker throughout Illek's description, and a look of disgust at the mention of what would happen to her. Her eyes were burning fire and she yanked both swords out of their sheaths, "Go back? After that? Nay! Drajlough must pay for the dishonor he would have caused me! That crafty son of an orc won't make a treat out of me! Especialy not for some witch!" she was trembling with supressed rage, her knuckles white on her glowing swords,"Are you going to help me, or shall I do this myself!" she was ready to tear someone apart.

Attalus · 09-05-2002, 10:43 PM

ILLEK (Smiles with affection) "Slowly and craftily, my princess. Would you spurn aid, whe all seems arrayed against you? Delay your vengeance. You have strong friends, do not waste their strength. Come, let us go to them"

Lady Blue03 · 09-06-2002, 04:20 PM

Verloren
She froze for a second, disbelief on her face, "Wait? But..." she growled lightly and her lips curved into a snarl, "Oh! I cannot wait! By Torga'Nath he will suffer for what hes done!" she huffed at the smile on his face and stabbed her swords back to their places on her hips, "Ok, we will return to Sir Blandamour then..." her rage dissapted, but her eyes still burned red.

Attalus · 09-06-2002, 04:32 PM

ILLEK "Yes, come." (He scouts around and, finding no trace of the apparition, they retrace their steps. Soon, they reach their previous campsite. Dark is falling, so they set up camp for the night. During the night, there seems more animal activity just outside the bright ring of their campfire.)
