Hazardous Times: Chapter XI "Fit For A Queen" - Page 20

OOC> Ar-Cunin, I've been a DM for a long time. Thanks. IC>

KINN'ZUWANNIK (He buffets with his wings, driving all back form him but not knocking anyone out. Seeing them scrabling to get up, he grabs the redheaded squire and grabs her around the waist, holding her before his face. Ignoring her frantic attacks on his claw, he locates Blandamour.) "Hold, all, or I shall kill her. You would not want that, would you, my good knight? I know that you can resurrect your kind, but, not if she is dissolved in my breath." (Eyes Blandamour speculatively) "I well know that your sword can slay me, but will it be worth it, to lose your lover? Come, give me your word that you will not attack again, and let us talk. Your princess," (nods dismissively at Gudrun) is safe and obviously has taken no great harm, if she can stab like that. What will you gain by killing me. And, besides your little leman, I do not come empty-clawed to the discussion. I have some knowledge that I think that you will like to know. Well, shall we talk? Or, are your little mistress and I to die together?"

Galadria · 07-13-2002, 01:57 PM

ELIZA (She flails in the giant claw, kicking and striking at the cluching claw.) "Don't listen to him my Lord. It is some kind of trick. Go ahead and don't mind me. Just... remember that ...that I loved you."

Galadria · 07-13-2002, 02:02 PM

LADY GALADRIA (She rests on her sword, awaiting Blandamour's decision. She knows what she would choose, though she feels rather guilty about it.)

OOC: I'm torn between the following two reactions
[img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] Ahem Blandamour - I think Sanael has some leave comming up - for his grandmother funeral (it's her or me) [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]
or
[img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] come to Sanael, baby

P.S. LB - it's Ar-Cunin

IC:
Sanael stops his barrage - cursing inwardly. The outcropping had protected him from the dragon's wing-buffet, but he had been unable to stop it from siezing Eliza. And even worse - none of his arrows had made an impact on the dragon. The best he had accomplished was wedging two arrowhead between some scales. He doubted that the dragon had even felt them.

He lowers his bow slightly - but a fresh arrow was nocked in case the fight should resume. His gaze falls on Blandamour - awaiting his decision.

OOC>> You would be lucky, she's a real catch, Ar-Cunin. Be worthy. IC>
SIR BLANDAMOUR (Slowly, with a stony face.) "So, you bargain for your - and her - life? Well, I must ask that you put her down before we confer. You have my word, sworn on Torm's sword" (here, he touches Cold Iron) "That you shall not be harmed, provided that none comes to her."

KINN'ZUWANNIK "Ah, the word of a true knight. And, why should I not take it? You shall see that our interests coincide in this." (He puts Eliza down, she scurries back to Blandamour's side, where she glares defiance at the beast.) "I know for certain that your Order is looking for the hidden band of orcs that ravaged the Preceptor House last winter and vanished, taking hostages with them." (Blandamour stiffens) "Well, I happen to know where their secret lair is. It is secret because I have ringed it with non-detection spells. They pay me tribute. Well, I have tired of them, and it will give me pleasure to inform you of their presence, and to dispel their protection." (He waves a claw negligently) "There, it is done. They lie in a cavern off of Breakbone Pass, an hour's flight from here, say two days march for your kind. In return, you must swear that you will get my sweet vase back from that King Berefor." (he hisses as he says it.) "Do you swear? If you do not, I shall reinstate the spell, and you shall never find them." (He watches Blandamour closely)

SIR BLANDAMOUR (Thinks hard. Finally) "Yes, I shall strike gloves with you on that. If the orcs are where you say they are, we will get your vase back. Torm be my witness." (The sword rings of itself, and the light around it grows more intense.)

Lady Blue03 · 07-13-2002, 06:16 PM

OOC: Hmm, its not me you two talking about is it? She is very capable of handling men

, not to mention she loves battle as much as Sanael Ar-Cunin

. Sigh second time typing this...hope i dont get booted again!

IC: Verloren(name from elven mother)
Gudrun growled and reluctantly sheathed Isan(her cold sword), and Isak(her lightning sword). This beast did not deserve to live for what it did to her! Sighing, she walked to the paladin and dropped a small curtsey, "Greetings. You must be Sir Blandamour. Kinn'zuwannik spoke of you quite often, I must say. My most gracious thanks for my rescue."
Blandamour nodded, "It was no trouble at all, Lady Gudrun"
She winced, "Please, call me Verloren, it was my mother's name for me. I've no desire to be called the name my father bestowed on me."
The paladin made a small smile, "As you wish, Lady Verloren. We are to escort you back to your palace as soon as we are finished here."
Verloren sighed, "I expected as much, but i will not be staying. I could never forgive my father for what he has done."
"As you wish, but we will discuss the matter at the palace"

The princess nodded and retreated to a wall so she could sit down. A stir in the shadows caught her eye, and she saw an elf behind an outcrop regarding her cooly, before turning his eyes back to Kinn'zuwannik, obviously wishing to continue the job. She shrugged and settled down on the cool stone, waiting for the dealings to be over.

Galadria · 07-13-2002, 09:13 PM

OOC>> Yes dear, they are talking of you. IC>
ELIZA (She glares again at the beast, who is still speaking to Blandamour, then turns her attention to Verloren.) "Hello, I am Eliza, Sir Blandamour's esquire. Your mother - Queen Margot, is it not? - asked me to look after you, but it doesn't seem to me that you needed much looking after. I don't think it really sunk in on her that you were a dragon's captive, chained to the wall. Wasn't it horribly cold? I have a spare cloak, here, and a flask of brandy."

Galadria · 07-13-2002, 09:17 PM

LADY GALADRIA
"So, Eliza, it turned out a lucky thing for you that you are so ...close...to Sir Blandamour. If he headn't intervened, you would just be a nasty splot on the cavern wall, and the beast dead."

Lady Blue03 · 07-13-2002, 11:42 PM

OOC>>Are they now?

I'll have fun developing that plot then [img]smile.gif[/img] . Man, is IW running slow today? Or is it just me?

IC: Verloren
Verloren pulled herself to her feet to address the red-haired girl in front of her, "Thank you...Eliza, is it not?(continues at her affirmative nod)The brandy will be just fine(accepts the flask and downs half of it in one gulp). The cold stopped bothering me after awhile, the heat of the dragon kept me from freezing. My mother is...not well. Father beats her, and by Torga'nath I havn't an idea on why he would harm something as beatiful as an elf." She broke off with a sigh, "She has to take medicine, lest he beat her to death. It destroyed her spirit. Neither of them knew i took up the swords all those years ago, and I'm glad I did."

The lady paladin stunted any further conversation between them as she speaks to Eliza. Verloren felt eyes on her back and tossed her waist length brown hair uncomfortabley. She walked out the entrance-and past the eyes- to sit in the fresh air. She hoped this would not take too much longer; she longed to stretch her legs and run through yonder woods. She sighed happily and closed her eyes

EDIT: OOC: If ya guys wouldnt mind telling me how tall ya'll are, it would help Verlorens point of view. Shes only 4'5

And Ar-Cunin, check your PMs

OOC>> Blandamour is 6'4". IC>>
SIR BLANDAMOUR (Gathers everyone outside the cave.) "We have two choices. We can go ourselves to the orc cave and rescue the captives, if any yet live, or go back and report to the Order where they are, and go to your father's castle, Verloren," (nods at her) and attempt to steal the vase. I know not how you all may feel, but I would have the honor of bringing the Orc Chief's head back to the Order, myself. What say everybody?"
