The city of Waterdale, newly founded... - Page 5

"Well I suppose I'll help you check it out after my shift in the tavern. No trouble with those two yet, but I'm gonna be prepared just in case. Nice to meet you, by the way." Seph took the trey over to the two large men at the table and set it down. "Enjoy your drinks, sirs."
"Oh, we will," they said, taking the drinks. They leered at each other, their stares never falling from the other.

SIR TYREE (He and Veldrin are riding along in a high pass of a mountain range miles away. They spot a cave mouth.) "Ah, Veldrin, this must be the place."
VELDRIN (consults a piece of paper) "Yes, m'rinn d'ssinss, I do believe that this must be the cave that your friend mentioned. Let us investigate." (they dismount; leaving their horses tied outside, they go in, after lighting a torch. Weapons out, they look around. A glint of white shows in a crevice, and they investigate. A skeleton meets their gaze, half crushed in a closed stone door.)
SIR TYREE "Ah, this must be the remains of some former seeker of the treasure." He opens his belt pouch and extracts a small golden key. Holding the torch close, he finds the site of a small metal plate. He forces the plate off with his knife.) "Now, Veldrin, what does it say to do, again?"
VELDRIN (reads) "Turn it right three times, then left once, and pree the key inwards." (he does so, and the door swings easily inwards. They hold up the torch, which gutters briefly in the foul air, then reveals a roomful of treasure.) "Well, abbil, this has been worth the trip."

OOC: um, just a suggestion, but seeing as this is going to be a VERY popular thread and all, maybe we could leave off with the signatures? I'm sure some people have smaller comps, and it will take forever for the page to download??

just a wee suggestion

She stands outside her cabin, watching the sunrise. The bold purples, reds and pinks are outstanding and a good omen for the day. She sips at her sweet woodruff tea, and glances off the porch at her herb garden, spying a weed. Frowning, she touches the amulet around her neck, and the weeds poofs away in a tiny cloud of black smoke. She smiles, knowing that the weed is now growing in the forest where it belongs. As she starts to sit on the top step, one of her wolves, the male nacaistealan, a beautiful black wolf with large golden eyes, walks up the path to her cabin, his head lowered to the ground, sniffing. He looks up, and lopes the rest of the way to the porch, sitting down, panting happily. (Sister) (dead human) (east, then west) (days old). She absently pats him on the head, and stands, letting him thru the door to her cabin, knowing he will just take a biscuit, then go back out to the forest, not liking be inside human dwellings. She tidies up her cabin, knowing she can be expecting visitors within the day......

Dagorion enters the inn after using the out-house and overhears Galadria's conversation with Seph. He began to panic, thinking its only my first week, why does there have to be a murder on my first weekand in a sudden burst of stupidity dives under one of the tables, knocking over several people in the process.

The two large men, now both quite smashed from their night of drinking, stand up and grab for their respective daggers on the table. "Is it time to begin?" the one on the right asks.
"Now's better than before," the other answered, both statements slurred almost beyond recognition.
"Guys, could we just calm it down a bit here? I would prefer to avoid a distrubance-"
"Pipe down!" one of them shouted. He reached out with a fist and hit Seph square in the ribs, knocking him backwards and off his feet. He rolled with the force though, and came back on his feet without losing a beat. But by now the two drunks had decided to turn their daggers on Seph.
"I guess there's no choice about it now," he muttered to himself. Regretfully he drew the stiletto from his left sleeve and held it out, the needle-like point aimed at one of the ruffians' eyes.

Darn it, Smudge! I do *not* appreciate these little presents you bring me! T'Lara regarded the headless mouse sitting on the threshold of the cabin's front door. Smudge the cat sat, looking at her with bewilderment and acceptance as this was a scenariio they played out every week. Surely she could at least make him a pot of mouse stew with his hard-earned bringings.

She looked around the small clearing noting with satisfaction the greening of the rows of lettuce and beets. Soon there'll be a fresh batch of vegetables and early ones at that. Now, what needs be done today? Ah yes. Check on the shipment of mandrake root, go over the apprenticeship terms with young Cari, make another batch of the arthritis linament...

GALADRIA (She jumps to her feet, weapon ready, for she had been eying the two drunks. She smashes the one on her right with the pommel of her sword, knocking him unconscious.) "All right, Seph, now it's a fair fight."

Attalus · 02-25-2002, 08:41 AM

SIR TYREE (After they load all of the treasure that they can onto their horses, they return to Waterdeep, and sell it for a moderate fortune in the markets, there. Leaving Veldrin there in an inn, he visits his family's mansion. He requests to see his father, but the butler coldly returns the message that his father will see him only if he brings him word that he is no longer married to his unsuitable wife and will marry the heiress that has been chosen for him. He goes back to the inn.) "Well, Veldrin, it seems that, no matter how rich I am, my family will only have me back if I become respectable. Heigh, ho!" (sighs)
VELDRIN (smiles lazily) "And, I suppose, m'rinn d'issniss that would mean no more poor little me and no more cow-like Galadria. How will you choose, I wonder? (she runs a new string of pearls through her perfect teeth, outlining the lips' lush perfection.) "Have you tired of me, yet?"
SIR TYREE (smiles crookedly)"No, my ebon beauty, I have not. But presume not too much! Let us return to Waterdale.""

Neb · 02-25-2002, 10:33 AM

Neb felt thirsty after a restless sleep and grabbed the bottle nearest to hand as he awoke, thinking it to be a bottle of wine, he got dressed and drank the liquid as he left his tower....

A couple of seconds later a Two-Headed Troll is walking down the street looking for someone who can cast Dispel Magic and making a mental note to label ALL of his potion bottles.

'What tha hell do ye think yer doing!' Ulrik roared, normally people almost forgot about his huge size, but were abruptly reminded as he strided quickly over to where the two ruffians were assaulting his newest worker and loomed over them, dwarfing them completely.
Suddenly he grabbed one by the scruff of the neck, he lifted him clear off his feet and said menacingly 'I don't appreciate violence in my pub, ok?' and threw him hard him to the floor.
Unfortunately Ulrik had gone for the closer one and the worker was still being threatned at knife point by the other man.
