LotR roleplay: sometime in the first age

[Larry_OHF]

Turin

"Actually, my wounds seem to be less of a pain than I would have imagined now. My shoulder is not hurting at all, and my arm..."

Turin looked down at his arm, where he expected to see a gash that was scabbed over. What he saw instead was a light pink scar. He gasped in surprise. The next thing he thought of was how little his shoulder actually hurt. It had been aching pretty good about an hour ago.

"That's strange...I am healing faster than I think is actually natural. But...how can that be?"

[dplax]

Robyn

"Let me see!... This is remarkable. Your wounds seem to heal much faster that normal indeed. Have you been ravaging my medical supplies?"

[Larry_OHF]

Turin

"Of course not! I do not understand it. It seemed to be noticeable after I finished skinning the wolves. Maybe their blood has some healing effects. is that possible? You are the one that dwelt with elves. What is your take on it?"

[dplax]

Robyn

"If their blood had healing effects then Roland would have no problems. He is nearly covered in their blood... No it has to be something different. What else did you do while you were skinning the wolves?" -she asked, and while letting Turin have some time to think about it she looked all over him. All of his wounds looked as if they had been healing for at least one or two days. She then noticed the ring on Turin's finger.

"I never noticed you wearing that ring before. Is it the one you found in the wolves' lair?"

[Larry_OHF]

Turin

"Oh yeah...it is. I had dropped it a while ago as I must have a hole in my pocket, and decided to put it on as I was finishing up cleaning the skins of the animals."

Turin just looked at the ring for a minute, admiring it's sparkle. Then he looked at Robyn who appeared to have a look of fascination on her face. He wondered if it was the ring she was admiring. Then he looked back down to the ring...and the idea suddenly and silently crept into his mind. He looked to Robyn again with a curious bewilderment, as though the thought struck him like cold water to the face. He managed to squeak out his next words..."Do you think the ring healed me?"

He quickly removes the ring and hands it to her.

"Quick! Put it on and see if anything happens, or give it to Roland! I think the ring healed me! It must be an elven construction!"

Robyn

"Some magical rings may have healing abilities, but I can not determine that. If Easthome allows us to see Therlion then he may be able to determine the exact powers of the ring."-she said in answer to Turin's question of whether the ring could have healed him.

She then took the ring from him as he handed it to her and put it onto her finger. She slowly started feeling her pain lessen. Then suddenly ashamed of herself she took the ring off and put it on Roland's finger.

"Roland, you have a greater need for this ring's healing powers right now. And besides I can keep going with the berry for some time."

OOC:Turin's reward is a ring which heals wounds slowly over time. It does not prevent wounds, nor heal from serious wounds (for example it isn't able to stick back a cut off limb). It heals any surface wound in three hours and deep wounds in 24 hours. Of course before identification the group can only have a vague idea of the ring's healing capabilities. And of course Turin's reward point go down to 6.

The wolfpup

The wolfpup had been following in Robyn's footsteps all along playfully running between her feet some times and at other times having mock combats with Robyn's shadow. When the group stopped the wolfpup watched with interest what they were doing although it could not comprehend everything which was going on. Seeing that Robyn had put down the berries on top of her rucksack the pup ran over there and sniffed the berries. Finding the smell interesting it then licked one of them. It found the taste strange, but since it hadn't had anything to eat for nearly half a day it tried out one of the berries.

The wolfpup liked the taste. One by one it eat all of the other berries, not knowing about the slightly poisonous effect the skin of the berries had. It felt much more energy flowing through it than usual. It bounded around the legs of Turin and Robyn playfully as if inviting them to play with it.

Robyn looked at the wolfpup with a smile. "I think we should give him a name. Have you got any suggestions?"-she asked her two companions.

For Therlion (just so he doesn't get bored all alone [img]smile.gif[/img] ):

A guard came to see him the morning of the day after he met with Kalam in the inn.

"Lord Easthome has requested your presence at the execution of the ex-captain fo the guard , since it was essentially you who unmasked his treachery. Follow me.

The guard led Therlion through several side streets of the small town and finally they arrived at the main square, where in the middle of a crowd of about five hundred people a wooden stage could be seen. The guard led Therlion around the crowd and into one of the buildings on the far side of the square. After going up a flight of steps the guard opened a door, announced Therlion to those in the room and left. In the room along with several guards was Lord Easthome his son and the new captain of the guard.

"Ah Therlion. You not only saved my daughter's life yesterday, but you also saved me much trouble should this rebellious captain been able to act longer. The note you found on the assassin essentially contained everything we needed to take care of this problem. I owe you some gratitude, and my son spoke well of you from the meeting he had with you yesterday. From now on you have the freedom to walk around the city without the guard accompanying you. He shall however stay in the same building as you to watch over your safety when you are there and also he can get hold of me or my son, should you need to talk to any of us."

A guard opened the door and announced that the execution was about to begin in the square below them. Lord Eatshome moved over to one of the two windows, while Kalam indicated to Therlion to go with him to the other window. While in the square below the ex-guard captain was brought forth by several guards and an executioner with an axe made his way to the podium Kalam spoke in a whispered voice to Therlion. "I shall need to speak with Turin and his two companions once they get back. They shall probably see you before they see me, so could you just tell them that I wish to speak with them."

The man who was going to be executed although struggling mightily against his fate was half dragged, half pushed up to the podium, where he was made to kneel down and place his neck over a small wooden block. Four guards were needed to hold him in place. After an announcer read something to the crowd of which nothing could be heard of in the room, the executioner's axe descended.

Lord Easthome turned to his new captain of the guard. "You now know what happens to those who betray me. See to it that all of the rebels are routed out of the city."

Lord Easthome departed along with all the guards and the new captain of the guard followed shortly afterwards letting Therlion reply to Kalam at his leisure.

[Sythe]

The pain was ebbing away some. But it was still so high that that he cannot move without mort hurt. But at least I am feeling less pain.. Roland thought and looked at the wolf pup. "Is the pup a boy or girl? If a boy Greywind or a girl Nymeria."

OOC: I admit I got the names from Martins Song of Ice and Fire

[Bozos of Bones]

"As if jail wasn't enough. Your father holds a tight leash on the people here." Therlion said when the last man left the room. "Now that I have my freedom without that guard at my back, I will probably be able to meet with Turin and the others before anyone, so I shall arrange a meeting in secrecy."
"Where is your sister? I have been appointed by your father to tutor her, but we haven't had a single lesson yet."
