Eliza

"Where are we going, Vane?" ~ She finally speaks, disengaging herself playfully from his tender embrace ~ He's mine, now... and I, his... ~ It feels strange. Terribly strange ~ My life has always been my own to lead, and now, it's tied to his. ~ Unsure of herself, she chews her lips thoughtfully.

Vane

Concern beams from his green eyes, and he scratches his chin somewhat bashfully ~ "Where are we going? Back to your home, of course!" ~ Gives an awkward chuckle ~ "Where else were you thinking of?" ~ He takes a step towards her, attempting to draw her into his arms again.

Eliza

Alarm sends her feet stumbling backwards several paces ~ "So... my father sent you?!" ~ Aware of the discordant shriek in her ringing voice ~ I might have known! ~ Eyes now dilated and flashing ~ "
Speak the truth! What does he want with me?"

Vane

His jaws drop as her words sink in ~ "Hey, calm down now." ~ Sounding a little wounded ~ "I... I thought you cared for me..." ~ His voice turning hesitant ~ "... you do, don't you?" ~ Halting in his advance as she whips out her bejwelled dagger menacingly ~ "What's the matter with you, Eliza?" ~ Bewilderment abundant on his face ~ "What's happened?"

Eliza

"Never you mind!" ~ Her voice like a whiplash, she continues to stare at him through narrowed eyes ~ "State your motive now, and I'll judge your words."

"..." ~ Shrugging, he feels his own brows knitting together at this sign of hostility ~ "What I meant was that assuming you cared for me..." ~ Hazarding a skeptical glance at her ~ "... and I did think you did, I'd ask for your hand in marriage." ~ Now sighing hopelessly ~ "It's not going to work, is it?" ~ His lips curve downwards ~ "You don't trust me one bit." ~ Ignores her involuntary cry of protest ~ "That's obvious enough."

OOC>> Mistral, the poor kid hasn't had anything good happen to her in so long! IC>>
GALADRIA (They ride along at a gentle pace. Jaime tries to get on Sunshine, and is immediately bucked off, miraculously not even disturbing Sorsha. They come to a bend in the road,and are immediately set upon by masked thieves, eight in number)(Attacks the nearest) "In my father's name!"
OOC>> OK, Larry, here's your battle.

Larry_OHF · 02-08-2002, 09:20 PM

Jaime

Jaime sees the thieves overtaking the party and he, being in the rear and just behind sunshine attempts a hide in shadows. The attempt was successful, and so he sneaks along through the shady grass and comes up behind the entire group of muggers. Picking his target as the last one in the group of bandits that has an arrow pointed at Sorsha, Jaime stabs into the man's back.

OOC>>>Thanks! I hope my plans work!

OOC>>> All yours, Larry [img]smile.gif[/img] Don't wait for me to post.

Galadria · 02-09-2002, 08:36 AM

GALADRIA(All doubts drop away from her as she slashes away at the leader. His short scimitar is no match for hers, and she quickly disarms him and runs him through. She moves to the next thief, who tries to disable her horse. Gold Top rears, striking him with her fore hooves.) "You shall feel my steel!"

Larry_OHF · 02-09-2002, 09:46 AM

Jaime

Stabbing into the man's back had killed him, but now Jaime had become visible. Two of the thieves turned around as they heard their partner gurgling on his own blood, and had seen that Jaime was now isolated from the rest of the group. They decided to take him out. As they advanced to thier band's rear, Jaime had realized his foolish mistake. He was alone with 6 men between him and Galadria. He looked over her way in despair. As the men advanced on him, he raised his rapier, hoping he knew how to wield it well enough to save his life. Thieves are not made for fighting...only thieving...

Dalben

Swift as lightning, he had begun chanting at the sound of blades drawn. Now wielding fifteen fiery globes, he begins hurling them at the ferocious attackers, scorching them with incredible heat and rapidity.

Yet the danger remains real ~ Seventeen... sixteen... fifteen... ~ Making a mental note as the raining arrows tear away his stoneskin layer by layer ~ "Duck, Sorsha!" ~ He flings another flaming ball at the assassin targetting the waif. The assassin screams in agony, and begins dancing around frantically, trying to beat out the flames...

mistral4543 · 02-09-2002, 10:12 AM

Sorsha

Not again! ~ Almost hopelessly, she watches the battle begin and gradually, senses the seed of resentment growing inside herself ~ I can't always be sitting here pretty! I've got to make myself useful! ~ Biting her lips, she draws out her sickle ~ Eliza's right! I'm nothing but a silly doll!

Provoking herself desperately, she swings at a nearby fighter. To her surprise, a thin red line appears across his cheek... then blood begins to ooze from the scar. Almost retching, she directs Sunshine away, but stops as her pony emits a neigh of pain ~ "Sunshine!"

And now, fury grips her as she sees the grievous wound on her newfound pet ~ "How dare you! Take that!" ~ She strikes once again at the stunned attacker, who nevertheless regains composure and swings at her with his magical long sword.

Cold perspiration breaks out at her temples as she barely dodges the blow ~ I've no time to think... ~ Another swing, another dodge, and she claws at his face again with the pointed tip. The air seems to fill with his screams of agony...

OOC>>> There! I've made my first attempt to roleplay a swordfight [img]tongue.gif[/img] I know, it's no good, but hey, I'm trying!

OOC>>> If it means anything to the rest of you... I bought myself 2 DVDs today: Love in the Afternoon (starring the lovely Audrey Hepburn) and Harvey (starring the equally charismatic James Stewart).

WOOHOO!!!!! [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]

OOC>> Great , Mistral. I love Charade. IC>>
BLANDAMOUR "In Helm's Name, you will not live!"(At Galadria's side, he crashes his great sword into the thief's neck, decspitating him. He sees jamie cut off, and he cannons his black horse Shaitann into the group of thieves surrounding him. The thieves scatter before the flailing hooves and bright sword. Looking bck, he sees one of the thieves trying to baqckstab his dear, and spurs Shaitann over to him, knocking him off of his feet. The thief's hood falls back, and he realizes tohis surprise that it is a woman.)
