Title: Jaycol Lays Dying (RP)
Post by: jaycol on August 30, 2009, 11:58:03 am

  

   Jaycol lays dying as he continues to press his hand against the deep puncture wound at his left side. The darkened blood continues flow but not freely, He rotates his head slightly looking for anyone that may be on the distance road below. He realizes now even if they were he did not have the strength left to call to them.
  His mind races in search of other options.. He knows he has little time left, too much of his life blood has spill out of the small opening on his side. His fingers play idly with the ring he wears on his right hand as they often did when he was considering his thoughts. He pauses for a moment holding his hand up to stare upon the ring. Some how it had been overlooked.
     He closes his eyes and concentrates. He very rarely uses this skill except when he is alone in his office at The Call of Destiny's Hall. Slowly he opens his eyes and looks at the small animal standing nearby. It sniffs at him and whines with concern. Jaycol uses the last of his strength to push it away from him. He rolls his head and looks in the direction of Gugrondrid. He pushes at it again before he losses consciousness.
     Jaycol's body was found on a hilltop outside of Gugrondrid in a pool of his own blood. His hand resting near the small puncture wound on his side. Those that found him healed him as well as they could with magic and potions so he could be safely moved to the Stonehead Tavern. Here he will be looked after until it is safe to move him again or until he recovers.

Who did it?: Only Jaycol and the Entity(s) responsible know for sure. That being the case his life may still be in danger in more ways then one.

Where to look for clues?: Jaycol was last seen in good health By Elady and two other patrons at the Stonehead Tavern. There are some clues there. They may help. They may not. I guess that depends on what questions are asked.

Will Jaycol recover? He may in time if he is well taken care of as he struggles between the realm of light and darkness and he is kept safe.

In these time of growing wickedness who can we trust to guard or even to look after his wounds. Surely the entity(s) responsible may try in some way to keep him silent by making sure he never recovers.

[For the sake of playing this out I will log on and remain at the Stonehead tavern when I know there is a staff member present there. I will remind unconscious for about two weeks to allow RP to develop out from this for those willing to partake. I have given nothing more here then the obvious. It will take some interaction and some detective work in order to work it out. Thus I say no more. I leave the rest for others to fill in the details of the story. Until/if I rcover. Have fun]

Solita is waiting with Keella, Cilay, Hawin, Indygo, and Roberet, hoping for Elady or Illysia to appear and tell them more.

Friends of Sir Jaycol:
Yesternight, the lady Elady did come upon Sir Jaycol, in a pool of his own blood, near to dying. Lady E sent her groffel to me, and me Brother,  Sir Master Dragonis and me did come as fast as we could to aid her and the stricken dwarf. Together we carried Jaycol to the Stonehead, where I did me best to staunch his wound and give his blood fortification to heal. Elady and Dragonis and me cast many a healing spell upon Jaycol, which perhaps did save his life, tho he lies still unconscious. I went to the winch fer to get a bed fer the invalid, knowing not how long the fellow may need tending and care. Kra Dedorre helped administer more healing drops throughout the long night.

This evening, I returned with the bed, it being a long haul from the winch to Gugrontid fer anyone, specially me a Dermorian. I arrived to find Elady in a state of almost catatonic trance, a female Dermorian (later I were told she be one Aurelyn) unconscious upon one of the tables, and Jaycol still unconscious in the corner. There be much mayhem but I did me best to treat the suffering of the unconscious lady first, then to administer to Elady, all the while tending to the wounds of Jaycol. Kra Togh told the tale that one Aurelyn, this one upon the table, and her companion Jamora were walking and Jamora did leave, and Aurelyn became very sad then fell into this state of restless unhappy sleep. Kra did carry the limp Dermorian Lady here to the Stonehead.

One sir Havilik, fergive me good Commandant Menki if I have spelled yer name wrong... Havilik went out with another good menki fer to search if others maybe injured. Another good menki whose name I did na get did go fer me in search of Sir Master Rarodele of the Klyros Junction, fer me thought in me desparation that his renowned powers as a healing mage would be our only hope! Then good Sir Zephan arrived, as did Sir Mage Rarodele, thankee again to the menki. Rarodele did pass from one to the next spreading his strong healings as I did with me herbs and potions. Jaycol lies still unconscious but resting more comfortable now upon the bed. One Ylian Sir Guron....something... were most helpful, as were Kra Stonehead guards. Several folks did come in and there were too much commotion fer the healing of the ailing so I did plead with the onlookers to kindly return upon another time fer the hospitalities of the Tavern. Much obliged to ye folks, please do return to the Stonehead...

Rarodele with Zephan did manage to heal Elady and bring her forth from her trance. Rarodele in a mighty effort did rouse Aurelyn, whereupon she did scream and cry, and more were heard that the lady Jamora be missing entirely! Please all folk, look fer the lady Jamora if ye can and keep her safe returning her to Aurelyn.

Elady voiced fears in her trance state that one Jacula, who has attacked her and others, might be the culprit responsible fer Jaycol's wounding and coma, and the agonies inflicted upon Aurelyn and Elady. I know not if this be the case, but from what I hear about this Jacula, he seems him a dastardly fella and dangerous.

Friends of Jaycol, please come and visit him, but be quiet and gentle please with the dwarf. Please add to the protection of the staff of the Stonehead by yer presence if ye can. Daughters of Xiosia please hold close to yer sisters and protect each other. If any knows of the Priestess Siteya's whereabouts please ask her to return to Gugrontid as soon as she may.

Please keep yer eyes open and blades ready if ye see this Jacula. I hopes me I ne'er meet the fellow.
Thankee to all who came to the aid of these friends.

Sir Rarodele, tis me honor indeed to know such a profound healer as ye be.
Yers,
Roled Rolak

Elady enters the Stonehead Tavern  Feeling very tired.  Due to the stress of the situation with Jacula she hadn't been sleeping well for a while. The previous night was near sleepless  as she worried about Jaycol, one of her oldest and dearest friends.  As she entered the Stonehead she hoped that Jaycol's condition would have improved but one quick look at the stricken dwarf dashed her hopes. She moves to Jaycol's side and checks the dressings on his wounds. As she checks the wound she sighs, realizing that Jaycol's condition is beyond her ability to help.

Elady's mood is lightened a bit when she sees Glundun   as the kran take Kra's guard position. Another smile crosses Elady's face as her friend Garosan enters the Tavern. AS guests start coming into the Stonehead it looks like it will be a normal day , something that has been all to rare recently and is much needed.

An unknown kran enters the Stonehead carrying the limp body of Aurelyn, setting her gently on a table. Elady is shocked to see her friend being brought into the Stonehead like this and rushes to Aurelyn's side to see what is wrong and how she can help.  A quick examination of Aurelyn's body doesn't reveal an injuries. Not seeing any obvious reason for Aurelyn's condition Elady is at a loss to know how to help her. Suddenly the lack of sleep, stress, helplessness at not being able to help her friends in need seem to overwhelm the young Ynnwn. The overload of emotions is to much for Elady's mind to handle at the moment and her mind seems to slowly start to shut down as a way to protect it's self. Elady sits down on a bench and pulls herself into a protective ball as her mind blocks out the frantic activity around her.

After a while, with the support of her friends in the Stonehead Elady slowly starts to come around and become aware of what is going on around her.   As Aurelyn sits up and screams Elady focuses on one task, help Aurelyn. As Elady works to help Aurelyn she seems to also be heling her self as for the moment she has a single task to focus on until Aurelyn falls asleep.

Jacula skulks through Gurgontid, the miners doesn't seem do notice him as he makes his way towards the tavern. The rumors he has indulged in of late being quite disturbing to him. Apparently Jaycol has been stabbed by an unknown foe, and suspicious eyes rest upon Jacula. He tightens his fist and frowns, the idea of him not being able to send a lowly dwarf screaming into her realm bothers his twisted ego greatly. As he enters the tavern he frowns, realizing Jaycol must have been moved. Suddenly a familiar voice perks up his ears, it's Aurelyn, sitting back in the Ojedeva pillows with a unknown Kra by her side. He covers his mouth at the sight of her, the imagined smell of this rotten wench stinging in his nostrils. He sits down by the table and listens as they banter, keeping himself from doing anything rash just yet. Their persiflage seeming to annoy him.

He waits for her to leave then he quickly intercepts the Kra, his delusional demeanor causing fright in it's eyes as he unsheats a dagger, it tells him that it's just a courier yet he demands that it imparts him about Jaycol and his condition.
Yet as the Kra is about to crack Aurelyn returns, the stench slowly fading as another smell exudes from her person, the scent of foolish bravery. He moves closer.. Sniffing the air around her as he slowly licks his mouth. Yet suddenly three kran's surround him, weapons in hand they keep him back as Aurelyn and the courier swiftly run down the ramp, shunning his presence. cringing below as they await the others to neutralize the menace that is Jacula, Aurelyn cries out for the guards catching the attention of some of the miners. His anger knows no limit as he realizes that it's trap.

He is suddenly grabbed by one of the kran's, he roars in bloodthirst as he cuts it down. It's beady eyes slowly rolling into the back of it's skull as it falls to the ground with a loud thud. Yet he seems disappointed of the fact that it dosen't bleed. He turns to the other Kra, it's tough demeanor visibly changed into fear as he takes it's head off with a slash of his axe, sending it rolling down the ramp as a sign to those below. The third runs away swiftly, yet jacula doesn't seem to notice, consumed by the thrilling frenzy of the fight.

He sneers as a high pitch voice calls the guards again, he makes for one of the stone towers, watching as a heavily armored Ynnwn join Aurelyn and the courier below. He watches the Ynnwn sprint up the ramp and position himself in front of the tavern, only to be greeted by the hollow shells of two murdered kran's. Jacula smiles to himself, lurking in the cover of shadows as he moves closer, the Azure sun slowly setting as he does. Jacula approaches the Ynnwn as he stands ready, his eyes narrowing as he scoffs 'I've heard all about you' before raising his axes, looking as if he is about to attack. Jacula grins, exchanging a few sentences of irrelevant meaning with the Ynnwn before swinging wildy towards him with his axe. The Ynnwn takes a blow to his shoulder and staggers back, Yet he fights on valiantly slashing his axes against Jaculas armor with a deafening crash, leaving both their ears ringing. Jacula smirks through gritted teeth, managing to send the Ynnwn to his knees as he connects with a forceful blow to his temple. He locks his eyes with his before he comes down hard with a slash to the side of his neck, the blood flowing freely onto the stone ground.

Jacula kneels dipping his fingers in his blood, watching as it glistens in the last rays of the Azure sun before day turns to night. He slowly licks his fingers before he notices a crowd slowly making it's way upwards the ramp, he smiles wickedly before disappearing into the night, leaving the body's for the crowd to mourn. Yet his search for information about jaycol is not over.

[Thanks to Trodgar, Dodarre and fatgar for being such good sports about the IC killings. Look forward to reading more, and i wonder what will happen to Jaycol. See you ingame  :thumbup:]

Post by: jaycol on September 07, 2009, 02:36:33 pm

[ I will be trying to catch up with this by the end of the week. I will be piecing the RP together in story form from my logs which are limited from my little corner at the tavern. I will add some insight to characters based on my knowledge of them and/or the info provided in my logs. Anyone who has been participating that is interested in adding to. It would be much appreciated. I prefer this method vs posting logs myself. Logs tend to be too general. So it may take me a tad bit longer]

  Glundun Axiz walks into the Stonehead Tavern as he has done so many times before. His duties there is a guard have made him a familiar face as he stands silently at his post. He had been away for some time, his return prompted by an urgent message that was sent to him. Asking him if he could come and look after the Taverns security. The letter was brief, insisting on the need for his services.
  Elady greets him as he enters. The troubled look of her face forces him to react with concern.
  "Is Everything alright Elady?" He asks somberly. his hand causally reaching down to undo the half knotted cord that secures the hilt of his saber. He looks up and around the tavern slowly. He turns to Elady as she steps closer.
  Elady thanks him for coming on such short notice. She pauses then begins to bring him up to date of the situation. She explains about finding Jaycol near death outside of Gugrontid. Having brought him here to look after him and keeping him safe in the hopes that he will recover.She Glances over at Jaycol. She swallows before turning back to Glundun.

  "We will need you here Glundun. We do not know what has happened to Jaycol. He may still be in danger" She tells him.
  Glundun listens in silence as she explains her concerns. He waits until she finishes.
  "I will stay as I am needed then Elady. I will make arrangements to be nearby when I am not on duty." He offers reassuring her.
   He takes another glance around the tavern, then tuns moving towards to door. He surveys the city quickly watching for movement along the exposed areas visible from the entrance. He listens for a moment before walking back inside to stand guard.

  "I will take my post then, unless you prefer that I stand near him instead?" He asks.
  Elady who had moved over near Jaycol. She kneels down to examine the bandages on the dwarves wound tosee if they need to be changed. She looks up over her shoulder turning her head slightly.
  "Maybe having  you stand closer to Jaycol would be a good idea? Be especially alert for anyone with weapons who gets near him." She tells him.
   Glundun nods and walks around  the tavern's kikiri. Lady Peckerly  watches him pass by before returning it's attention to the bowl of crumbs on the floor. He takes up a post just on the opposite side of the rail near the area where the dwarf lay.
  Elady returns her attention to the task of checking the dressings of Jaycol's wound. She stands placing her hands on her hips. For the moment she is satisfied that everything looks in good shape for now. She takes a deep breath as she looks over the sleeping figure before her.  Whispering something to herself as she reaches out to pull the blanket back up towards his chest. She tucks in the edges and gives a last look of concern before moving towards the kitchen to wash.

   Elady Wanz stands alone in the kitchen troubled at all that has happened lately. She presses the heels of hands against her forehead closing her eyes. Elady has worked here at the tavern for many cycles working tirelessly.The last cycle she has helped to manage the running of the Stonehead as Illysia bacame ever increasingly busy with the growing lists of supplies and orders.
   In the last few cycles Elady had become in a fashion a matriarch figure  here for many of the regular customers. Many seeking her advise and encouragement. To them she always displayed a rare inner strength based on her values and had become well respected for it. Today Elady Wanz did not feel that way.The strain of her fallen friend was taxing to her resolve. So like so many other days before this she busied herself with the chores in the kitchen secluded from the view of others. She lowers her head in silent prayer asking Xiosia to grant her strength.
  The guard's greeting to the arrival of a customer stirs her from her thoughts as she looks up. Quickly she wipes her hands upon her apron. She reaches up to check her hair before walking out to the tavern's open floor to greet her guest.

  Elady smiles as she approaches Qata Nazen offering him a warm greeting.
  "Greetings" Qata returns.
  He glances in Jaycol's direction and walks to where he lay removing a set of of polished swords as he nears. He stops at the stern warning from Glundun he turns to quickly address him.
  "These are spellweave blades for healing." He assures Glundun.
  Elady moves near the guard asking him to run a errand for her. Glundun looks at her in doubt in which she replies.
  "It's okay Glundun I can take care of things for awhile"
  She hands him a few coins shaking her head to confirm her words.
  "I will return shortly then." Glundun tells her as he glances once more in Qata's direction before heading towards the entrance.
 Qata summons his strength to pass on to the injured dwarf laying before him. The air seems to shift between the two as he calls forth the power of the crystal channeling it through his body to Jaycol's. He chants softly as he concentrates through the spell. He wavers slightly as it comes to a close the sudden drain of strength visible only for a moment. He looks down at Jaycol before turning towards Elady.
  "So? He has been Unconscious for it bit?" He asks.
  "We have tried all the magic healing known of. I think it is in the hands of the Gods now if Jaycol lives or dies." She answers.
  "He could wake up now or in a few weeks. If he makes it." She adds with a shrug.
  Qata looks at her thoughtfully."Yes, he is a good dwarf. I am sure Xiosia will provide for him sustenance."
  Elady glances at Jaycol then back to Qata."I just want to find out who is responsible for this and bring them to justice."
  "Did he leave with that woman last night" he asks.
  "Yes." Elady replies. "When Jaycol left he was in the company of that woman"
  "Hmmm? I tried to warn him. I has a bad feeling about her." Qata said then continues. " But? dwarves will be dwarves"
He pauses
  "Liquor and women.It's surprising they have survived this long."
  "But, it could have easily been Jacula with all the death and destruction he has been leaving behind him lately." She says facing Qata.
  "Well, how do we know for sure? I presume Jaycol is the only witness." He asks her.
  Elady looks away as Glundun returns carrying a package. She takes it from him as he offers it to her. She moves around the place where Jaycol lay setting it down then walks back as Glundun again takes his post nearby. She walks towards Qata facing him.
  "Jaycol's possession's were missing. Maybe who ever took them will try to sell one of his items. Like one of the maps or cards he had. We could get a clue that way." She tells Qata. He shakes his head in agreement with her.
  "Yes, That would help." he replies. "But, likely they would just keep the tria and disgard the rest. Unless they are  that foolish?"
  
  Elady turns aside looking down at Jaycol with a sad expression.
  "All I know is he left with that woman, and not long afterward I found him almost dead from a stab wound." She stands silent for a moment. "Maybe, someone traveling to the Bronze Doors saw Jaycol and the woman, or his attacker after they left?" She adds turning back to Qata.
  Qata senses her discomfort and smiles at her.
  "Well, Jaycol is in very good hands with you Elady." He assures her then with a grin he adds. " Just don't put too much weight on him with your excellent cooking."
  Elady returns a smile. "Right now, getting Jayol to eat anything would be a big step forward."
  "I might like seeing the new leaner Jaycol." Qata says jokingly.
  " Hopefully the new leaner Jaycol will be better at dodging daggers." Elady returns in jest.

Already a little earlier (some RL days ago), Doctor Lesiros Forita visited Jaycol together with Elady. He confirmed a rather stable condition of the patient and recommended to try some slow and careful feeding with soup. He will try to return in time with a collection of fresh herbs to support the wound healing...

[Yes, been trying to get in earlier so that I could be on hand for the doctor. Jaycol did get feed. I will get to that part of my logs eventually. There were a few busy moments ahead of that I am still going through, Hopefully I can catch him this week :)]

   Glundun watches as Elady and Qata engage in conversation. Normally he stays to himself while he is on duty. On few occasions when the tavern is slow he has allowed himself the luxury of talking to the other staff or a patron there. He turns to the couple.
   "So it is a woman you think that may have done this? He asks them. "Or do you think that maybe this other person you mentioned may have struck him down?" He look to Elady then Qata as he waits for an answer.
   "Well, all of the horrible things about Jacula has to be kept in mind. Still theft isn't something Jacula has done yet." She says turning to look at Glundun. Her face become firm. " I certainly want to talk to that woman Jaycol left with that night for sure."
   "Jacula, in his madness, wants to kill, not rob." Qata states, adding to what Elady has said. 
   "No one is suggesting that maybe the stabbing and the robbery are linked together." Glundun says turning to face Qata. "The robbery itself could just as well be a farse."
   Elady nods in agreement to Glunduns observation.
   "Maybe someone came across Jaycol before I got there and took his items thinking he was dead.?" She asks giving the idea some thought.
   "Did anyone search the area for clues? Glundun asks Elady turning slightly to meet her gaze. "If he was marked for death his posessions may still be close to there."
   "I didn't have time to search the area." Elady exclaims distressed.
   Glundun stands silent for a moment,
   "That is understandable. It maybe too late now." He states. "Have the city guards been informed of this? They should know what is happenings within their post."
   Elady frowns at Glunduns statement.
   "Do the city guards really care about anything that happens outside the city walls?" She asks him.
   " I think they only patrol within Hydlaa." Qata adds.
   "If he was lead from the city to be robbed or attacked. I would think They would." Glundun said.
   Elady shifts her body placing her hands on her hips.
   "We should seek out information about anyone else who has been attacked in the general area I found Jaycol at." She says looking between her two companions.
   "...and find out if anyone else has had dealings with the woman." Qata adds to Elady's suggestion pointing his finger at her indicating they were thinking along the same lines.   
    Glundun nods in agreement with the others. 
   "That would be a good place to start."

  Garosan Ringe approaches the Stonehead Tavern in an unsteady gait. He has been here several times before. Often he stops on his way to or coming back from one of his many long travels. The others look up to notice him as he enters.
   Elady sees her friend as he enters the tavern slowly. Excusing herself from the ongoing conversation she goes to meet him. Greeting him warmly as she approaches. He smiles back at her.
  "Afternoon Elady" He said. He stops and awaits as she makes her way to him. She wipes her hands on her apron out quickly of habit as she draws near. She place her hands on her hips and asks him cheerfully.
  "Coming home from another trip to the Bronze Doors Garosen?"
   He laughs outwardly at her question.
  "I wish' Dakkru's realm."
   Garosan walks with Elady as they move over to Qata and Glundun. Garosan exchanges greetings with them as he and Elady approach.
 "Thank ye both" He tells them in acknowledgment. He glances over noticing Jaycol  resting near the pillows for the first time. "Is he alright?"
 "Nothing a little Red Liquor won't cure." Qata adds quickly. They join together in laughter at his quip. Elady steps up and interrupts the men's mirth.
  "I hope Jaycol will be alright. His fate is in the hands of the Gods now I feel."
  "Praps." Garosan comments turning towards Elady.
  "...and the Gods do smile favorably on Jaycol. Qata offers into the conversation.
   Garosan nods at the comment glancing quickly over to Jaycol.
  "The dwarf is lucky to have ended up here" He said.
  "Jaycol...Is lucky his Groffol found me when it did." She states in a matter of fact way. Her voice softens then. "I was lead to Jaycol by the little creature."
   Garosan turns to look more closely at the dwarf lying before him.
  "So, This is Jaycol?" he asks.
  "Yes, this is my good friend Jaycol. She moves up beside Garosan and looks down upon her sleeping friend.
  "Good Groffle" He nods to himeslf then turns to look at Elady. "What do you know bout the attacker?"
   Qata interrupts the two as they talk. He bows to them.
  "If you would please excuse me? I must see someone." Qata said to them waiting for their reply."
  "Very well sir" Garosan said to him.
  "Safe travels Qata" Elady tells him turning to give her friend her farewells.
  "May Xiosia guide your path." Qata says to them as he begins to walk away. He stops and turns back."..and may she protest Jaycol." He pauses for a moment then turns and makes his way towards the door.

  Garosan stands silently with Elady for a few minutes. His face traced in thought. He looks up at her.
   "What do you know bout the attacker?" He asks her the question again that he had asked before Qata had interrupted  with his departure.
   Elady turns back to him after she watched Qata leave.
  "Nothing for sure. All we know for sure is Jaycol left the tavern in the company of a young woman." She looks away and glance at Jaycol for a moment. "After that the next time I saw him was in a pool of his own blood." She says sadly as she brings her hand up covering her mouth. She closes her eyes as she recalls the scene clearly in her mind. She reaches back to check that her hair is in place still. Her mouth tighting slightly.
"..and his trias and items were missing,"
 
  Garosan waits for a moment as his friend Elady collects herself. Waiting until she straightens and turns back to face him before he continues to ask questions.
  "Do you know her name?" He asks in a serious way.
  "I believe she said her name was Syurulla" She said. Her face displaying the hardened strength of her resolve.
   Garosan nods again. He takes out a fold of parchment and charcoal and begins to write down the information that Elady is giving him.
  "What race was she?" He asks without looking up at her.His hand holding the charcoal in place as he awaits her answer.
  "Ynnwn" Elady answers him taking a deep breath. "A little younger then I am. About eighteen to twenty cycles." Elady watches as Garosan begins writing down what she tells him. She waits until he glaces up at her before she continues. " She was wearing a dress." She stops thinking back. "Green I think...and she had boots with heels. She didn't have any visible weapons."
  "Anything else?" Garosan asks her without looking up.
   Elady stops to think if she had forgotten anything the answers him shaking her head.
  "That is about all I can remember?" She said.  
  "..and The groffle? Was it his?" He asks without raising his head.
  "Oh,yes. It was Jaycol's" She tells him.
  "The groffle's name?" Garosan asks.
   Elady shrugs the look of her face uncertain as she answers.
  "I had never seen it before, and Jaycol wasn't in any condition to tell me."

  The rush of movement at the Taverns entrance draws their attention as they both
look up together at the interruption.

[In the next few sections. Another RP had entered into the Stonehead Tavern nd the two became intertwined during the cousre of the evening. As other characters arrived it became fast paced and it was hard to work other arriving players into it. (To which I apologize for. In the event that it happens this way again someone will step back and help bring new arrivals into the RP) Because this wasn't planned the characters worked the two together and it became a very busy if not somewhat chaotic evening]


A darkened Kran enters the tavern quickly carrying a young women in its arms. It walks swiftly to the nearest table setting her down gently upon its surface. It turns around frantically searching for anyone that can give it assistance. The Kran spots Elady and Garosan near the corner of the tavern.
  "Togh need help." It exclaimed urgently. Its head turning repeatedly as it looked between Garosan and Elady with the look of panic in its face.
   Garosan looks up calmly from his conversation with Elady unable to see the women clearly behind the bulky figure.
  "Yes Kra. How may I help?" He asked Togh.
   The kra looks stunned as it considers the question of the man. Then it realizes that the man may not have understood.
  "No, Lady need help." Togh said hoping that Garosan would understand.
  "Aye" Garosan replies walking across the tavern floor towards the table where the girl was placed by Togh."What is wrong?" He asked looking at Togh.
   Togh turns to the young women and back to Garosan as it searches for the words to explain.
  "Lady fall down" Togh said it's voice sad but urgent as it answered Garosan's question.
  "How far?" Garosan asks shocked at what Togh had said as he quickens his pace towards the table. He walks directly towards Togh who steps to the side at his approach. Togh shakes it head at Garosan's
reaction.
  "No. Not like that." Togh said. It pauses as it watches the man trying to find the words."She lose everything." It looks at the woman in thinking. "..and she curse." Togh looks back at Garosan then with some confidence as it continues. "...and then she fall."
  "Where Gemma?" Garosan stares at the Kran raising his eyebrows."It's more serious then...?" His question trails off as he looks back at the women.
  "Near the Bronze Doors." Togh said looking over at Elady as she approaches them.
  "Elady? Your more experienced then I am." Garosan said looking up from the motionless form of the woman.
 
  Elady had turned to adjust Jaycol's blanket after the Kran had come in. Allowing Garosan to see what it had needed. She had walked over slowly after him as he had began to question the Gemma. She was taken aback when Togh had stepped aside. She stood in shock as she recolonized the young woman on the table. It was her friend Aurelyn Tiyel. They have  been friends for for several cycles. She rushes quickly to the table pushing Garosan aside driven by fear for her friend.
   Aurelyn lays unmoving as Elady climbs up on the bench of the table. Elady looks quickly at the paled form of her friend. She leans over the woman placing her hand over her heart as she listens for her breathing. She rises up and looks closely into  Aurelyn's staring eyes passing her hand over the open orbs watching for some reaction. Getting no response she carefully begins to check for any noticeable injury.
  "She not move." Togh shifts uncomfortably. "Then Togh not now what to do?" Togh looks at Garsan shaking it's head. "Then Togh carry."
  "Kra, you have done good bringing her here." Garoasn said placing a hand on Togh's shoulder reassuringly.
  "Togh try the camp, but no one there." Togh said to Garosan nodding it's head. It continues to talk as it watches Elady examines the young woman it had carried here. "We look for friend when she fall. She very sad that friend gone."
   Elady listens to the two behind her as she continues to look along Aurelyn's body for any sign of injury. She opens the lower ends of Aurelyn's shirt checking an old wound on the woman's stomach that she had known was there. It appears to have healed leaving a huge scar along the once softened skin.
  "Did you find any wounds Elady?" Garoasn asks her.
  "There doesn't seem to be any Garosan she tells him before turning to Togh "Did she say anything before she got like this?" Elady asks the Kran.
  "She curse Yliakum..and the she curse the Gods." Togh said nodding it's head.
   Elady sighs. A look of concern upon her face. She places a hand over her mouth in frustration, unsure of what to do.
  "Togh not know, but she scream very loud." It said shrugging. "Togh want to warn her. but then she fall." Togh trails off looking down as the Kran seems to ta talk to itself. "Lady very, very sad."

   Elady gets up from the bench a worried look on her face as she starts to pace back and forth quickly. Overwhelmed by all that has been happening to her lately she begins to mumble to herself.
  "Jacula?..Jaycol?..Now Aurelyn?"
  "Jacula?" Togh blurts out looking out Elady surprised.
   Elady stops pacing and looks back at Togh with a stern and argry look making the Kran step back.
  "Yes! A mad man that wants both Aurelyn.." She points at Aurelyn laying at the table."...and I dead"
   Togh follows Elady gesture with a glance then turns back to her adding cautiously.
  "Lady say..." Togh hesitates afraid to anger Elady again. " Lady say she want kill Jacula." Togh looks down for a moment not wanting to look upon the glare it had received from Elady. Reluctantly the Kran faces her and continues. "Lady say, she very angry with Jacula. Lady say.." Togh hesitates unsure if it should finish. "Jamora gone because of Jacula" Togh rushes to say the words stepping back watching for Elady's reaction. It looks around confused at the others.
  Elady stares at the Kran. Trgh's last statement shocks her as she notices the Kran's discomfort. She shakes her head to clear her thoughts.
  "Togh? She asks the Kran softly. her face saddened as she fears the answer to her question."Has Jacula killed Jamona?"
   Togh stops to think about the question.  Struggling to remember what Aurelyn had said.
  "Togh think she say yes." The Kran looks sadly at Elady then glance at Aurelyn as it rambles on "But, that odd? Togh said. "Must of found way out Death. Because we search now." The Kran finishes with a puzzled look on it's face. It looks at Elady then Garosan."Togh just courier. Togh not understand of life and death."

   Roled Rolak entered the tavern carrying the peices of a small bed that he had promised Elady that he would bring to the Stonehead for Jaycol. He pants from the hard labor of climbing the ramp with the extra weight. He moves over near the carpet where Jayol lays setting the pieces on the floor. He turns  walking over toward the others.
Garosan and Togh talk quietly to themselves as Roled approaches. He walks up behind Elady as she stands slightly rocking back and forth on her feet facing her friend Aurelyn. Roled cannot see the stunned expression on her face as he nears.
  "Elady" Roled said touching her lightly on the shoulder. He doesn't notice that she didn't hear him.
  "I have come with the bed..." He trails off as he realizes she hasn't responded to him. He squeezes her shoulder slightly as he he says her name again.
  "Elady?" he said with concern his voice louder this time. She flinches at his touch. Alarmed Roled takes hold of her shoulders and tries to turn her to face him. She turns toward him slowly.
  "Roled? Elady says surprised. "I am glad you are here." She said relieved.
  "Aye" Roled said as he glances around trying to access the situation. His hands still holding Elady's shoulder firmly he looks at her curiously with concern in his eyes.
  "I....I.." Elady starts to say not being able to finish the sentence. She points first over at Jaycol then back towards Aurelyn shaking her head.
  "Oh,no." Roled exclaims. "what has happened here Elady?" He asks, still holding her shoulders firmly giving her some support. He leans his closer to hers so he can can see into her eyes."are you alright?" He glances over at Aurelyn laying on the table. "what be wrong with this lady?"
  
    Elady throws up her arms in frustration breaking Roleds grip upon her shoulders. She walks away towards the table behind him. Bewildered Roled looks towards the others for an explanation. His gaze falls on Togh.
  "She very, very sad." Togh offers with a shrug. "Then she fall on the ground." Togh looks over at Aurelyn with a puzzled expression.
  "Kra when did this happen?" Roled asks Togh turning back to look at Elady with some concern. "Elady, can ye please bring me some hot water?" He asks of her.  He can see she is overwhelmed emotionally and hopes the small task will help her.
  "Water?" Elady asks. She shakes her head "Yes, water." Elady said turning to walk towards the kitchen.
  "Thankee" Rolded tells her thoughtfully as he watches her walk away. He turns and walks over to the Dermorian laying on the table.
  "Kra, be she a friend of yers?" He asks Togh as he nears the table. Togh nods at Roled. Roled shakes his head. "I be studying the healing arts and magics. May I look at her?"
Togh nods again.
  "We searching other friend. Then?..She very. very sad." Togh said still shaking it's head. "She curse Yliakum. She curse Gods. Then she fall on ground."
  "This were at the Bronze Doors? He asks Togh. "How long ago?"
  "Togh just got here few minutes before you get." Togh answered Roled."Togh run fast as possible from Doors.Stop at camp, but no one there."
   Roled listens carefully as Togh explains what happened. He removes his chain armor setting it aside on the bench. Roled then opens his pack taking out some bags containing herbs and leaves. and two potion bottles spreading them out along the bench.

  Garosan watches Elady as she sets a pot of hot water on the table.She quietly turns and walks to the other table and sits down. Garosam turns to Roled.
  "Sir Elf?" He he said looking at Roled."Is the bed for Jaycol?"
    Roled sits down at the bench at the table where Aurelyn is lying. Sorting through the herbs that he has placed there.
  "Aye Kra, How be Jaycol?" He asks as he begins gathering up a selection of the herbs he has brought. He begins to mash up some devils's claw,strawberries, and charmflower into the the hot water that Elady has set near him on the table.
  "I am not a Kra." Garosan said puzzled.
  "Sorry friend." Roled glances up at Garosan. "I didn't look up." he turns back to what he was doing. "What know ye of this woman? What were she sad about do ye know? What happened to make her sad?" Roled ask in a series of questions as he continues working.
 Togh walks over to where Elady is sitting. Feeling better that it was not in Roled's way. The kran looks down at her.
  "So you know Miss Aurelyn?...and Miss Jamona? Togh asks her.
   Elady does not respond to Togh's questions or even looks up at the Kran. She pulls her knees up towards her cheek, wrapping her arms around her legs. Tears well up in her eyes as she gently rocks her body.
   Garosan Calls out Ibanic his familiar. Quickly writing a note and giving it to Ibanic. He kneels and whispers to the Groffel.
  "Quick take this to Zephan" He stands watching as Ibanic runs out of the tavern.
    Roled looks up from his work turning towards Garosan.
  "Sir Yilan, I be Roled." Roled then turns to Togh. "Kra, Tell me all ye can please." He said before picking up one of bottle setting on the bench. He carefully places three drops of a rejuvenation potion into the Demorian's mouth.
  "Jamona is away." Togh said watching Roled from the other table where Elady sat rocking back and forth on the bench.
  "To much,Jacula..Jaycol..Jamona..
Aurelyn" She mumbled to herself.
  "What know ye of these deeds Roled asks Garosan as he waits to see if Aurelyn shows any reaction. Seeing none he turns and quickly walks over towards Elady.
  "Elady take two drops of this" He said handing her the rejuvenation potion.
   Elady looks up as Roled hands her the potion and takes a few sips from the bottle.
  "Jamona her friend. More then friend. You know? Togh said to Roled.
  "Aye." Roled replies looking at Togh. Thankee kra. What be yer name please?" He asks the Kran.
  "Togh." The Kran said with a nod."Togh Kornar."
   Elady puts the bottle of potion down at the table then lowers her cheek to her knees. 
Roled nods to the Kran and moves toward the kitchen to get some Red Liquor

    Anumesa Venise enters the taven. She stops near the entrance and glances around She peers closely at the figure lying in the corner.
  "Jaycol?" She said moving over near him she that something is wrong. Turning around she walks towards the others at the tables.
  "what has happened here? She asks as Roled returns to Elady's side holding out a mug of red liquor. Her question going unheard as they seem to ignore her.
  "Can Togh help?" The Kran asks concerned as Roled returns from the kitchen. "Togh try to get help from Hydlaa?
  "Everything alright Elady?" Garosan asks as he looks over from the table where Aurelyn lays motionless.
  "To much to deal with" Elady said to herself as she begins to rock again on the bench.

    Anumesa stomps her foot impatiently and raises her voice slightly to be heard.
  "What has happened here? She asks again pointing back towards Jaycol. Why is my dear friend laying in the corner in such a state? her anger starting to surface as she waits for a reply.
  "Jaycol stabbed...almost died...tried to help." Elady rambled almost incoherently.
   Roled returns to Elady's side giving her the mug of red liquor She takes it from him and begin to drink from it is Roled turns to Togh.
  "Aye Togh. Would ye and Sir Garosan Gently lift Jaycol unto the bed?
  "Can do." Togh said moving away.
   Anumesa's eyes widen at what Elady had said.
 "Who would do such a thing?" She shakes her head."Is there any way that I can help?
  "Elady please. Drink the Red Liquor Slowly." Roled said as he turns back to Elady his vioce rising on the last word. He glances up at Anumesa
  "Hello Lady, please a moment?...and then I shall talk with ye." he tells Anumesa who nods to him and waits patiently.
  "Don't know. Lady?..Jacula?..Other?" Elady rambles on.

Title: Re: Jaycol Lays Dying (RP)
Post by: jaycol on September 10, 2009, 05:03:29 pm

    Togh approaches Jaycol where he lays in the corner of the tavern. It was the Krans intent to follow Roled's request and to get the dwarf placed into the bed that Roled had brought. As Togh nears, the armored Kran guard moves to block Togh's way.
 "Do I know you Gemma?" Glundun asks Togh standing between Togh and the fallen dwarf.
  "Togh Kornar," Togh says to Glundun with a bow as the Kran tries to walk around the alerted guard.
  "If you are not a healer, please keep your distance." Glundun tells Togh sternly shifting it's position to stay between Togh and his charge. "The one that did this may try again. It will not be on my watch" Glundun said.
  "Dermorian say Togh, put dwarf on bed with Master Garosan. Togh said to the guard. "Togh sorry. Togh only want to what was told."
     Glundun looks at the other Kran soundly and considered it words. Glundun then nods and sets the shield in it's hand down.
  "Then I will help you" Glundun said faces Togh. The two Krans work together to assemble the pieces of the bed. It did not take long as the beds structure was of a simple design. They move the small bed to the side setting it down.
  "Togh is that where they want the bed?" Glundun asks Togh noticing how close it was to the one-five-three board.
  "Not know, Just told me to put him in."Togh looks at Glundun considering the question. "Togh ask" Togh said with a shake of it's head towards the guard. The kran walks swiftly away looking to find Roled.

    On the other side of the tavern away from the two krans, care was still being provided to the young woman Aurelyn and Elady.
  "Aurelyn hurt I don't know how to help." Elady said to herself. Her head still resting upon her folded legs as she sits on the bench opposite of the table that hols her fallen friend.
    Anumesa stands to the side as she waits for Roled. She watches as he moves back and forth between the two women. She moves over near the table where the young woman lays to observe closer as Roled busies himself again with Aurelyn's care.
  "Can you play one of these?" Garosan asks Anumesa turning towards her and holding out a pan flute in his hand. Taking the flute from him Anumesa squints at it, turning it over in her hands.
  "Possibly... its been some time." She said lifting the pan flute to her lips and  softly begins to play a rather simple song.
    Roled stirs the mixture that has been steeping in the pot of hot water as the gentle tune fills the air. He takes the spoon and gently places some the mixture of Charmflower and Devil's claw on Aurelyn's lips. He pinches her nose gently so that she will open her her mouth,  he then swabs more of the potion onto her tongue. He watches as he does so and gets no reaction from her.
     Sitting alone Elady rocks gently on the bench where she is seated. She continues to talk to herself. The many thoughts of all the terrible things that have been happening lately in her life surfacing all at once. She is overwhelmed by  the stress of emotions as they seem to crush at her all at once.
  "Jacula kills. Marked us." She whispers. Her eyes looking straight ahead without focus. "Siteya missing.." She tilts her head to the side resting her cheek upon her knees watching the movement of the flames in the fireplace."Need to make tea...and bake pies."Her voice draws the attention of Roled as he turns to her, concerned for his friend.
  "Elady? He said, knowing that he was not going to get a response from her.

    Sacho Awotowa arrives at the tavern. He has come to enjoy the peaceful surroundings here. He walks inside stopping short of the tables looking over the scene before him.
  "May I help you sir?" Garosan asks him from his seat at the far table where Aurelyn lays unmoving.
  "Greetings Sir Menki." Roled said looking up from his work. "Sir are you willing to help us?" Roled asks him.
    Sacho continues to look around confused. He looks back at Roled.
  ""I would be happy to assist if I can" He said to Roled.
  "There be a Klyros Junction sage and magician in Hydlaa., right now at Harnquists. Names..Rarodele. Would ye Please run and get him? Roled asks turning to look him. "Tell him please that Roled Rolak needs help at the Stonehead. Many injured." The look in Roled's eyes pleading as he gives Sacho his instructions.
  "Very well." Sacho nods. "I will find Rarodele."He said to Roled turning to leave. Sacho turns back once more to glance about the tavern before heading towards the door.
  "Thankee Sir." Roled calls after him as Sacho departed for Hydlaa.

    Roled returns his attention back to Aurelyn continuing to give her a some of the herbal mixture for the pot on the table. Togh approaches behind him tapping Roled upon the shoulder. He turns to face the Kran.
  "Yes Sir Togh?"He asks.
  "Is bed in good position? Togh asks Roled.
    Roled glances over to the corner and nods.
  "Yes it's fine Togh, thankee." Roled replies.
  "Good." Togh said, walking back to the corner where Jaycol lay.

    Togh walks up to Glundun after talking to Roled only moments ago.
  "Say its fine" Togh tells the other Kran. Roled comes up behind Togh and looks at the bed.
  "Tis fine fer now that the bed be here" He addresses the two Krans. He turns to look at Glundun. "Kra, I be Roled. I cared for Jaycol last night when he were injured. Please carefully lift him onto the bed." Roled said.
    Glundun nods as Roled turns away and walks towards the tables. The Kran turns  to Togh.
  "Alright carefully now" Glundun tells Togh as they both move to either side of the injured dwarf. Glundun removes the blanket setting it aside before knelling to take a hold Jaycol gently with Togh's help. Togh carefully places it's hands under Jaycol's body and nods to Glundun. They lift the small body up between them moving slowly towards the bed. Together they lower the weight of the dwarf's body upon the bed, making sure that they do not move him too quickly. Togh releases Jaycol as his body comes to rest on the bed. Togh goes back to retrieve the blanket and with Glunduns help they again cover Jaycol. Togh looks at Glundun and nods before walking over towards the tables where the others are. Glundun retrieves the shield that was set side and resumes the guard post.

      Roled moves quickly back towards Elady. His urgency causes Anumesa to retreat out of his way as he moves by her. He pours another sip of rejuvenation potion into Elady's mouth then holds the red liquor up for her.
  "DRINK! ELADY." He tells her sternly and watches as Elady follows his order taking a few sips from the mug he held for her. He then turns to Anumesa as she continues to play softly on the Pan flute.
  " Lady will ye help? Please, help Elady drink the whole of the red liquor slowly. He asks her as he moves over to the Dermorian lying on the other table. He addresses Garosan as he notices another patron entering the tavern.
  " Sir would you please greet any newcomers and keep them from the injured?"  He asks Garosan.
  "Aye, if that's what I have to do.." Garosan replies as he moves towards the the new arrival.

       Havuik Keleiw enters the busy tavern. He looks around curiously as on one of the tables Roled pinches Aurelyn's nose swabbing her mouth when she opens it to breathe.
  "Injured?" He asks surprised as he looks about the tavern again.
  "Err..? Welcome to the Stonehead Tavern." Garosan greets him.
 Havuik looks at Garosan.
  "Thank you. ..What is going on here?" He asks him. He watches as Roled finishes with the Demorian  picking up a bottle of potion and quickly moving over to the dwarf lying on the bed at the corner.
  "I need more hot water please," Roled calls out looking up momentarily. "Someone?...Anyone?" Roled asked before turning back undoing the belt that was holding the poultice from the last evening, gently removing the now dried mash.
    Havuik looks back and forth between Roled and Garosan.
  "Jaycol was attacked and wounded." Garosan said looking at Havuik pointing towards the corner where the bed was located. "Then Kra here brings in the Elf" Garosan continues explaining as he indicates Togh and Aurelyn turning in each of their directions with a nod of his head.
     Havuik looks back and forth between Roled and Garosan.
  "What? This is an outrage. More crime." He said glancing at Garosan with a shocked expression on his face. " Please, is there anything I can do?" He asks Garosan.
  "Drink slowly..." Elady mumbles to herself causing Garosan to turn towards her.
  "I don't know right now." Grosan tells Havuik as he turns away turns away. "One moment. I'll be back." He adds as he sets off to the kitchen to heat the water Roled requested.
     Havuik watches Garosan walk away and sees Elady sitting nearby. He approaches her giving a bow in greeting. Looking around again before reaching up to remove his helmet. He turns back towards Elady.
  "What is going on?" He asks her unaware of her condition. He waits for her reply as he notices that she stares off in the distance seemingly unware of his question before responding in a strained voice.  "Jaycol stabbed. Aurelyn hurt....Much...Too much." Elady said to herself not showing Havuik any acknowledgment.
    Havuik clears his throat.
 "What was the nature of this attack?" He asks.
 " Jaycol stabbed almost died...Aurelyn different." Elady says still not looking up at Havuik. Who glances over at Aurelyn with concern.

    Roled approaches from the corner interrupting Havuik's questions of Elady.
  "Sir can we talk later PLEASE.?" He asked of him raising his voice as he finished to stress his point.  
  "Aye, what can I do now?" Havuik asks Roled stepping back from Elady. "I am here if help is needed."
  "Sir Menki. Do you wish to help?" Roled asked.
  "I will." Havuik sais with a nod.
  "Are you a mage or a herbal healer? Roled asks him raising his eyebrows.
  "Nay, I am sorry." Havuik shakes his head frowning.
  "Jacula hurt people. Stop Jacula...To much to do...Help Jaycol, Aurelyn." Elady rambles, drawing their attention.
  "This is Jacula's work?" Havuik asks Elady glancing down at her. She ignores him as she takes a sip from the mug in her hands. He looks over at Aurelyn then back towards Roled.
  "We think so, Elady seems to be in a state." Roled replies glancing down at Elady. He takes a deep breath and faces Havuik. "Alright. Would ye please run to the platinum hill and see if there are any Masters of Crystal or Blue Ways there?"
    Havuik nods to Roled.
  "Laanx protect." He said with a bow before departing.

    Roled watches as Havuik walks away. He turns back towards just as Riesa Serend entered. He looks up as she and Togh greet each other. Togh looks over to meet his glance.
  "Sir? I go to Hydlaa? Find help." The Kran asked.
  "Aye kra, ask for healers or magicians. Go to Harnquists first, then try the infirmary tent in the Temple greens, then try Kada-Els. Maybe Allelia or her sister." Roled instructed Togh who listened carefully, nodding to him before hurrying away. Roled noticed Riesa as she neared Elady with some concern in her face.
  "Lady Fenki?" He asked. " Know you Elady?"
  "Yes." She stated plainly. She hesitated a moment then continued. "Yes, I work here with her, and in the same guild."
  "Ye are a Daughter of Xiosia?" He asks surprised.
  "Yes." Riesa said.
  "Can ye go and round up any of yer guild sisters? Roled asked her then said to her more seriously. "We need them here now."
    Riesa glanced at Elady then nodded quietly.
  "Thanke Lady" Roled said to her as she made her way to the tavern doorway. He turned to Elady and gently helps her lift the mug to her lips gently patting her shoulder treassuringly.
  "It will be fine Elady. Keep breathing please." He told her as she sipped more of the the strong liquid.
  "Where is that Hot water I asked for?" He shouts over his shoulder.
    In the kitchen Garosan shrugs as he patiently waits for the water to come to a boil.

   Zephan Cystennin passes Riesa as he comes running into the tavern after Ibanic  skidding to a stop. He reaches up quickly removing his helmet.
  "Quite a crowd?" He said surprised.   "What's wrong?" He asks with raised eyebrows, darting a glance from one person to the other.
  "This one is unconscious." Roled told him pointing over to Aurelyn." Jaycol was stabbed and is near death. Elady and I treated him last night.
  "To much to do....To many to care for.." Elady rambles to herself.
    Zephan glances at her curiously.
  "Who went to get the water?" He asks having heard Roled call out for it as he entered.
  "Zephan can you get the water and bring it to me at Jaycol, then tend to Elady.? Roled asked.
  "Aye, well then." Zephan said with a nod. He started to move towards the kitchen just as Garosan came around the counter carrying a pot of steaming water setting it upon the table behind Elady.
  "You needed hot water?" Garosan asked stepping out of the way as Zephan came to take it from the table and carry it over to Roled.
  "Thanke Zephan" Roled told him as he set the water down near the bed. "Help Elady please." Roled added without looking up.
  Zephan moved back towards the table where Elady sat. She sipped more of the red liquor a smile on her face. Her tears appearing to have stopped.
  "Aurelyn." She said.
  "Aurelyn." She repeated.
    Zephan peers at her.
  "Elady?..What's going on?" He asks frowning at her.
    Elady looks up at Zephan.
  "To much to do... Too soon"

    Garosan watched Zephan and Elady from where he stood aback to stay out of of the way as Roled roamed between the three people he had taken under his care.
  "Sir Garosan, would ye help?" Roled asked from the corner where he know cared for Jaycol.
  "What do you need?" Garosan returned his question.
  "Would you please gently swab more potion into Aurelyn's mouth? Not to much, don't want her to choke." Roled told him standing and looking over at Garosan.
  "Help Jaycol..Help Aurelyn...Stop Jacula.." Elady rambled at the mention of Aurelyn's name.
     Garosen simply looked at her and glanced over again to Roled.
  "Very well." He said moving over to the table that held the unconscious Demorian. He picked up the spoon and moved it and the pot of steeped tincture to the opposite side of the table where he could do what was asked of him and enable him to watch everything that was going on in the tavern. He care set them down and taking the spoon placed a small amount of the liquid unto it. Gently he swaps some of the potion into Aurelyn's mouth as he had seen Roled do earlier. He pauses to make sure the she swallows it. Watching to see if there would be any reaction from her.  He shakes his head seeing none.
  "If she doesn't swallow this soon I'll have to remove it." He says to himself as he watches to make sure she does not choke. He then looks up as Roled comes over to check on his progress.
  "Ah, Sir Garosan. Did she swallow any? Roled asks him.
  "Only a little." Garosan replies lookig up. "Did na use much. It slipped down her throat."
  "Good." Roled nodded to response. "If she got some in her that be better then not." Roled said.
  "If you don't mind though I go by Garo." Garosan tells him looking over.
  "Fine Sir Garo. Thanke." Roled said.
     Garosan nods as he turns away. Taking off his arm plating and setting it aside. He picks up the brew and lets some of it waft under the Demorian's nose.
    
     Roled looks up from his care of Jaycol's wound as Havuik returns from his errand.
  "None at the the platinum mine" Havuik tells him as the menki looks around between Elady, Jaycol and Aurelyn in concern.
  "By the Gods!" Roled exclaims excitedly dropping a kingsfoil leave from his hand. "Where be all the mages of Yliakum?" He asks bitterly.
  "Roled, relax..." Zephan calls over to him
  "Aye...I will" Roled nods to himself picking up the fallen leaf crushing it in his hand and letting the peices fall into the hot water. He looks at his herbs realizing he is missing something. He looks up again at Havuik.
  " Sir Menki. Would ye see if ye can find some saffron fer me?" Roled asks him.
  "Where can I find it?" Havuik returns wishing to be of further assistance.
  "Ask Zephan." Roled tells him over his shoulder as he crushes another kingsfoil leaf into the water. He begins to stir the leaves in the hot water impatiently as Havuik nods and walks over to where Zephan was watching out for Elady.
  "Zephan? Where might I find Saffron?" Havuik asks.
  "Hmm?" Zephan looks up. He thinks for a moment and begins to try to explain how best to find the area where the plant is known to grow. Havuik listens closely muttering to himself under his breath.
  "Ain't there some in the pantry Zephan?" Roled asks as he approaches from the bed where Jaycol lay.
  "Pantry?...Saffron?" Elady asks as her eyes start to seem more focused.
  "Elady, Elady, listen to me." Roled said loudly to her as he he kneels down holding her shoulders looking into her eyes as she looks up at him. "Please get me one bag of saffron Elady." He asks her.
  "By door on floor" she tells him.
  "Perhaps, we should try and have everyone calm. Elady's not responding well to all that's going on." Zephan said.

     Elady smiles at at the rhyme of Zephan's words. She stands up slowly, turning she heads towards the pantry with Zephan following closely behind her. They return together shortly afterward as Elady sets some saffron onto the table.
  "Saffron on the floor by the door." Shes says  looking at Roled and pointing to the saffron on the table.
  "Thankee Elady." Roled said to her going over and again takes her shoulders in his hands. "Ye are doing wonderfully helping everyone...Keep breathing please..." He adds.
  "The Saffron from the pantry." Elady said looking please with herself.
  "Sir Zephan? Roled turns to ask. "Will ye help me please for a moment with Jaycol?"
  "One problem at a time, deal with one problem at a time." Elady closes her eyes mumbling to herself trying to regain control of her thoughts.

         Roled looks up as the guard calls out his greeting to those entering the Stonhead tavern He walks over to greet Sacho Awotowa as the Menki returns from the errand that he was sent on.
  "Any luck friend? He asks of Sacho.
  "Yes. He will be here shortly." Sacho replies.
  "Good!..Fine!..Thankee Sir Menki he tells Sacho as he and the menki turn as Rarodele Sarodele walks in through the taverns entrance.
  "Rarodele." Roled exclaims excited and relief at the sight of his friend. He moves quickly towards the Klyros giving him a hug. "Master Sir! ..We need help. Thankee fer coming." He said with gratitude.
  "Roled?..Friend. What has happened? Rarodelle asks looking about the tavern quickly. 'Oh?..course naturally. What do you need?" He said looking at Roled with concern.
     Roled takes a deep breath and begins to explain as the Klyros listens closely to his words.
  "Well?..Jaycol here on the bed were stabbed last night." He said pointing in Jaycol's direction. I have made a poultice and his life is saved but he be unconscious."He looks at Rarodele the turns towards the table where Aurelyn lay breathing slowly.
  "Yon dermorian maiden Aurelyn is unconscious and seems unresponsive...and Elady is under so much stress she be somewhat paralyzed with fear..." Roled said trailing off as he follows Rarodele over to Jaycol's bed where the Klyros knelled down and began to look at the dwarf closely.
     
         Across the room Zephan continues his attention to Elady. He stands with a look of deep concentration. His hand glows a soft azure as he hovers it in front of her forehead.  She looks up him smiling.
  "First relax." He tells her.  His expression becomes serious and stone like as he tries to pick out a thread of thought in Elady's mind. She looks up him  concentrating on his eyes as he continues his spell forming the frazzled threads of her thoughts in his mind eye trying to mentally smooth them. He picks out one to smooth first uttering one word.
  "Jaycol" He said aloud.
Elady tilts her head to the side before him. Her eyes seeming to focus better. She looks up at him with a surprised expression on her face.
  "Zephan when did you get here?" She asks him. She smiles at him asking again as he stands quietly in front of her.
  "Zephan when did you get here?" She looks around the tavern shocked at what she sees. "What is going on here?..Why is Aurelyn on the table? She asks as the guard interupts her questions as he greets some new arrivals to the tavern.
      Haviuk Keleiw returns carrying some fresh saffron in his paw beside him walks another Menki. They are followed closely by Togh and a young fenki. He stops to look at Elady then calls over to Roled.
 "Where do you need that Saffron?" He asks. Not getting an answer he walks over placing it near Roled before returning to the table where Elady and Zephan were, a look of helplessness on his face. Behind him Togh points towards Jaycol, Aurelyn and Elady then begins to explains to the Fenki named Nixe.
  "Jaycol over there be attacked, almost die. Aurelyn she is very very sad and then fall to the ground. And Miss over there..." the Kra points again at Elady. "She is also not good."
 
 "Did someone say JAYCOL, stabbed?" Kieve's eyes widen as he realizes the mix of information coming from the conversations  about the room. "I leave town for a few months and all hell breaks loose." He exclaims frowning.
  "He is over here Sir" Glundun tells Kieve looking over at him as the menki walks closer.
  "The Kran said a dwarf had been stabbed. Never expected it to be Jaycol." Kieve said looking at Jaycol soberly.
  "It is all we know know Sir. He was found in the hills outside the city." Glundun explains to the Menki.
     
         Roled drops some of the fresh saffron into the hot water.
  "I used this poultice to staunch Jaycol's wound last night. Making a fresh mash now."  He tells Rarodele as the klyros takes out some bandages and herbs mixing them with a pot of ointment and applies them to the wound at Jaycol's side looking at the dwarf again as he works.
  "Sir Glundun?.. Can ye please keep the onlookers back a little from the patients? Roled asks the Kran as he continues to mix the poultice within the bowl.
  "Yes" The Guard replies moving forward addressing the gathering crowd. "Please step back so Roled can see to the wounds" Glundun tells them as Kieve and the others step back from the bed.
  "Rarodele, he were stabbed in the side, lost much blood. Elady, Dragonis and I all sent healing spells to no effect" He tells the Klyros at Jaycol's side. "But? He is still alive at least."
  "His body is resting It is what he needs most now." Rarodele replies to Roled with a nod of his head. "He will will not wake for some time."
  "I made a mash of Kingfoil, potion of healing and saffon to heat his blood and keep it moving. It seems to have given him pain relief but, not his consciousness yet." Roled explains.
  "Did he hit his head at all Roled? Rarodele asks. "When he fell perhaps?"
  "I do not know" Roled said shaking his head. "Elady found Jaycol in the hills by Cutthroat Pass already down and bleeding."
  "He seems in a deep trance, and I supect he has a head injury. For now he must wake on his own." Rarodele explains rising to look at Roled.
  "Perhaps Sir Rarodele ye can look at the demorian lady next? I am at a lost as to what to do with her." Roled asks as he moves towards Jaycol to checking the fresh bandage and then pulling the blanket up to cover the dwarf.
 
        Havuik looks around the tavern again then to Zephan. He sighs and says to him.
  "I am not much use here. Wish I could be more help. Perhaps I should organize a party to hunt these attackers down."
    Behind him Nixe flick's her ears up at the conversation of Roled as he speaks to Rarodele.
  "Judging, I'd say that there's not much I can do 'cept stand here and pretend I'm useful. That elf there seems to know much more than I." She tells Togh
  "I as well Miss" Havuik replies turning to look at her.
  "If I can assist, I will. Until then though..." She said trailing of as she shakes her head then looking around the room.
  "Only thing Togh can do is run. So Togh run for help." The kran tells Nixe.
        Havuik turns to Roled as he approaches the table.
  "Sir, perhaps I should take a party to Cutthroat's Pass? Do you know if there are any more victims?" He asks looking at Roled.
  "Good idea Menki. I did not e'en think there may be more." Roled answered in thought.
  "The women Jaycol left with, she wasn't there when I found Jaycol." Elady offers in information.
  "I shall go to Cutthroat's Pass and look for traces of the attackers or more victims." He announced loudly drawing out his sword. "Anyone who can be spared should come. Laanx protect all of you" He says moving towards the open doorway.
  "Wait Havuik" Zephan cries out. "Please excuse me a bare moment I'll be back. Something I need to give you before you leave." He said moving to the back of the tavern retuning a few minutes later carrying a sword in which he presented to Havuik.
  "To the success of your militia" Zephan tells Havuik with a bow as he offers him the sword.
  "Thank you friend." Havuik said returning the bow of respect to Zephan. Then he turns the sword in his paws examining it closely. "This is a great sword!" He exclaims. "I am honored."
  "I should be working not sitting around here. Does anyone need a drink?:" Elady calls out interrupting the two men.
  "Aye, I better get back to helping too" Zephan said looking back at Elady.
  "I must be going. Good luck." Havuik tells Zephan with a nod before glancing about the tavern. In the corner he watches as Kieve kneels beside Jaycol's bed for a moment.
  "Hang in there, old friend. We'll get to the bottom of all this somehow." Kieve says quietly to Jaycol before rising to join Havuik near the entrance.
  "Laanx Bless" Havuik calls back as the two Menki leave together as they had come.

         Aurelyn's right hand starts to twitch slowly. Her arm stretching out as if trying to reach for something.
  "How is Aurelyn?" Togh asks Garosan as the moment of her arm catches the Kran's eyes.
  "She wants something." Garosan said looking up at Togh as Roled crosses the room to the table.
  "Did she have anything in her hand when she fell" He then asks of Togh. As Aurelyn's body starts to shake slowly, her legs quivering a little. her right hand still twitching in the air. The motion drawing more concern from Togh as kra looks on. Garosan holds her hand in his firmly.
  "Your going to be alright" He tells her reassuringly.
  "What she want?" Togh asks. "She say anything?"
  "Not a clue." Garosan said with a shrug. "No, not yet." He replies in answer to Togh's questions.
Aurelyn suddenly clenches down upon his hand at the feel of his touch. She scratches at it still unconscious.
  "Togh, Sir Garosan? Have either of ye tried any healing magics?" Roled asks as he watches Aurelyn's actions.
  "I could, though I am not extremely versed." Garosan informs Roled.
  "Togh? No. Togh only courier." Togh said looking over at Roled.
  "I can do it. I just wondered if you had tried that." Roled said to them as he looks over at Garosan to see if he reacts to Aurelyn's scratches. Garosan catches his glance and looks down at his hand noticing them for the first time.
  "She will have to do a lot worse to hurt me." Garosan  comments looking over at Roled.
  "Kra Togh, would you please tell us again exactly what happened with this lady Aurelyn?" Roled asks turning to face Togh.
 
        Togh nods politely as the Kran takes a seat on the bench at the table.
  "Togh start at begin.' The Kran said taking a deep breath it begins to tell the others what kra knew.
 "In morning, Togh see Jamora walk. She strange. Then Togh try to find Aurelyn. She,..her love friend." Togh pauses for a moment before continuing.
  "When Togh find. Aurelyn very, very sad.
  "Very sad? But ye knows not why?" Roled asks Togh.
  "Say we must search Jamona." Togh answers Sad because Jamona away"
  "Yes Togh. We should indeed try to find Jamona and as soon as possible. " Roled said.
  "When we look for Jamona, she suddenly mad and angry for Jacula and curse." Togh begins.
  "Say that again Togh." Roled interrupts. "Jamona was mad about Jacula and a curse?" He asks not understanding.
Togh looks at Roled then shakes kra's head.
  "Aurelyn mad. Jamona still gone. Aurelyn curse Yliakum and the Gods." Togh replies correcting the misunderstanding.
 "Where is Jamona?" Zephan asks Togh.
 "We don't know Zephan." Roled said.
 "Jamona walk away."Togh answered Zephan.
 "To where? Was she with anyone? Zephan asks the Kran.
  "She not good. Act like baby." Togh said to Zephan.
  "Like a baby?" Zephan asks confused.
  "Normally they are never apart" Elady comments. " I thought I heard that Jacula recently killed Jamona?" She asks Togh.
Togh nods to Elady.

        Roled turns his attention back to Aurelyn. He begins to cast a healing spell while keeping an eye on Garosan as he did so. Aurelyn begins to writhe, her eyes rolled upwards. Covering her face with her hands she seems to wince at the effects of the spell.
  "What magic are you using?" Zephan asks seeing her response to it.
  "An infusion of life" Garosan answers him.
  "Is she wounded?" Zephan then asks moving closer trying to get a good look at what was happening.
  "All we could finds was an old scar." Garosan answered watching the woman before him on the table.
  "Ye mean on her body, an old scar?" Roled asks surprised. "Where Sir Garosan?"
  ""Aye, on the abdomen." Garosan informs Roled pointing at the area of the scar.
  "She was stabbed in the stomach a while ago, but a piece of the metal was left behind. I recently removed what was left and the wound has finally healed." Elady said stepping closer.
  "Elady thankee fer that informatiom." Roles tells her watching as Aurelyn continues to writhe, winching more and more on the table. Her mouth slowly opening.
  "The metal seemed to have a strange reaction around Dark Way Glyphs though." Elady tells the others.
  "What sort of reaction? Zephan asks frowning.
  "What effect?" Roled asked almost simultaneously.
  "That is not good." Rarodele said stepping up to the table where Aurelyn lay." It must be removed. Has any of you healing potions? The greater the better."
  "The metal was already removed by Elady." Zephan said to Rarodele.
  "No, no, the metal was removed. I did that a while ago. She is very close to her friend Jamona. If Jamona is missing...." She trails off as Rarodele nods in response to her and Zephan.
  "Aye Sir Rarodele." Roled says as he steps away to alow Rarodele to get closer to Aurelyn.
  "Jamona is probably the key to Aurelyn's condition." Elady said to Rarodele who nods at her suggestion. "Normally they are never apart." She adds.

        Rarodele leans over Aurelyn speaking softly.
  "Can you tell us what happened?" He asks her.
Aurelyn suddenly sits up letting out a desperate scream. Covering her eyes with her hands.The scream startles everyone as they all look up in surprise. Roled moves to the end of the table cradling her head in his lap stroking her hair to calm her down. Elady quickly goes to her friend reaching out to hold her as Rarodele moves aside to sit down at the other table.
        Aurelyn slowly opens her eyes getting back to the harsh reality. She stares in space for a long moment.
  "There, there sister. It will be alright." Elady tells her holding her close as Aurelyn closes her eyes again, still covered with her hands. She begins to cry silently.
  "Zephan? Do ye think ye can find a blanket, or a sheet, and a pillow please." Roled asks him from the head of the table where he sat.
 "There is a pillow there." Garosan indicated with a nod of his head.     
            Roled picked up the pillow from the bench nearby placing it under Aurelyn's head as he slipped off of the table slowly. Aurelyn reaches up as he moves away putting her hands in her hair. Her eyes still closed as she winces at her inner pain. Elady continues to hold her making gentle comforting noises.
 "Togh hear you know Aurelyn and Jamona?" Togh asks Elady.
 "Yes, I know both of them." Elady said looking over at Togh. "If Jamona isn't by Aurelyn's side then there is something wrong.I have never seen them apart."

         Roled approaches where Rarodele sat at the other table sitting down beside him placing a hand on the klyros shoulder in gratitude.
  "Sweet tea and comfort." Rarodele sais aloud. "Has any searched for her love? Do any know where Jamona might be?" He asks. His face very pale and his breaths in deep gasps.
  "We search but not find." Togh said looking over at Rarodele.
  "Roled?, would ye be so kind as to bring me a bit of bread?" He asks as Roled stood up beside him. "I am nearly spent, I fear."
  "Certainly Master Sir Rarodele." Roled replied.
  " I'll go get you some bread for you." Zephan offers as he moves towards the kitchen.
      Rarodele attempts to sip the tea but his hand shakes too much and it spills.
      Roled moves behind him after nodding to Zephan placing his hands on Rarodeles shoulders he sends healing crystal energy into the klyros.
  " I just need some food my friend." Rarodele looks up at Roled and smiles his thanks. " I will be fine in but a moment."
  "Thankee good Zephan." Roled said as Zephan returned placing some fresh bread on the table near Rarodele before moving to stand near the front door of the tavern.
      Rarodele picks up the bread nibbling at it as his face slowly returns to it's natural color. He continues to eat.
  "I am merely tired friend Roled." He said slowly standing to his feet.
  "Dear friend, ye have saved many today." He tells Rarodele as he continues to pour Crystal energy into the klyros elder. "Come sit down good Rarodele"
      Rarodele finishes the last of the honey bread as the two sit down together at the table.
  " That was exactly the right thing to give me friend." Rarodele said. "Now could someone please explain to me what has happened here?"
     Roled leans close to Rarodele and whispers to him as they watch the others at the opposite table.

        Aurelyn slowly raises her head and looks at Elady, but doesn't seem to see her.
  "Aurelyn, do you know where you are at?" Elady asks smiling at Aurelyn with her hands around her shoulders.
Aurelyn nods very slowly.
  "Do you know who I am?" Elady asks.
Aurelyn nods again with tears in her eyes.
  "You will be fine Aurelyn. We are all here to help you. Try to be strong sister." Elady said reassuringly. Her face changes as she is a bit unsure before asking the next question. "Can you tell me what happened to Jamona?"
          Aurelyn tries to speak but her voice slowly fades, becoming more and more hoarse ending in an almost inaudible whisper.
  "Oh,,, I know where I am,,, I don't want to be here..." She said finally.
  "Where did you want to be?" Garosan asks her.
  "Where do you want to be Aurelyn?" Elady asks as Aurelyn winces at the questions but doesn't answer. Elady hugs Aurelyn and just holds her for awhile.

         Havuik and Kieve return from Cutthroat Pass. Havuik moves in ahead panting. He bows to everyone before going back to breathing heavily. He looks over at Aurelyn with a smile.
  "I am glad we are doing better here." He said.
  "Better...Yeah..." Aurely whispers her voice almost inaudible.
  "One second Rarodele." Roled excuses himself as he rises to greet the two Menkis.
          Havuik looks to Roled before taking off his helmet and placing it under his arm returning Roled's greeting.
  "Sir Menki, what did ye find if anything?" He asks.
Havuik takes a deep breath and looks to Kieve.
  "Glad your back Tabei." He said as Kieve
 catches up. Then he turns back to Roled.
 "We didn't find anyone, but we did find a band of thugs and this." He said holding up a potion of healing.
  "Same." Kieve said with a nervous laugh. "What a bloody nuisance he was.
  "Maybe someone dropped it when they were attacked." Havuik offered.
  "The cutthroats and bandits carry them too." Rarodele said.
   "Hmmm? May I smell it Sir Menki? I am Roled Rolak by the way. I do thankee fer hunting fer other injured." Roled tells the menki.
  "I am Commandant Havuik Kewleiw." Havuik returns with a bow. "I only hope there were no more victims." He said as he hands the bottle to Roled to examine.
  "Commandant Havuik. Tis the blessing of Xiosia that ye happened in upon us." Roled returns as he opens the potion and smells it. "It smells like Levrus's common potion."
  "I am here to help. I only wish I could have done more. He also deserves soome honor" Havuik said pointing to Kieve. "very helpful he is."
  "Roled looks over and greets Kieve Svetnikov.
  "Me?" Kieve laughs. "All I did was run. Well... after poking that Brigand with a spell, I mean."
  "Only thing we found. Havuik said with a shrug to Roled about the potion. "Could have been dropped by an attack or someone in here."
 "Thankee too good Sir Menki, I be Roled." Roled said to Kieve with a bow.
  "Thank you anyhow" Kieve returns the gesture to Roled as Havuik makes his way towards him.
         Havuik said reaching out to shake Kieves paw.
 "Glad to have worked with you tabei."
 "Likewise, Comrade." Kieve returns taking the offered paw shaking it.
 "You handled yourself quite well. You interested in more of this kind of work? He asks. Kieve blinks in response to his question unsure of an answer.
  "Well you seem like the kind of Menki I need." Havuik continues reaching into his sack and pulling out a flier. "have a look at this." He said handing it to Kieve.
  "I'll look over it, I suppose." Kieve tells him. "But for right now, I'd like nothing more than some rest. My magic isn't what it used to be."
  "I'll be glad to talk to you more when the situation allows." Havuik said reaching out to place a paw on Kieves shoulder. "Well get some rest tabei" He adds with a bow to Kieve.
  "And may Laanx frighten the shadow from your path." He adds.
  "Take care of y'self, Comarade." Kieve said with a nod turning towards the door.
     Havuik waits until he departs then moves near the fireplace to stand quietly out of the way.

[Awesome writeup Jaycol, for something that had a large amount of unrelated RP no less. Here's a small conclusion (?) of the evening, though it is completely unrelated to the RP, just in case anyone's interested. That was very interesting. And yeah, my version can't be as neutral as Jaycol's, of course, but I hope it's enjoyable anyways. Wow, didn't expect this to take two and a half hours.]

  Togh still looks slightly puzzled, trying to understand why Aurelyn returned from her unconsciousness that quickly, as he didn't even understand how she got into it in the first place.  Elady releases her hug and asks Aurelyn quietly "Let me know how I can help you. Would you like something to drink, Aurelyn?" Aurelyn shakes her head slowly, looking at the floor and she seems to have hard times speaking, her voice merely audible "I want nothing..." Garosan turns at Aurelyn, "Miss, I am not so sure. You were grasping for something until I put my hand in your reach." Togh opens kras mouth slightly, about to say something, but then closes it again and remains quiet.

  Garosan and Rarodele meanwhile start to worry about Elady's condition. "Elady, quite frankly, I don't think you're in the best condition either.", Garosan says, and Rarodele confirms him, "Indeed Elady needs rest." Garosan tells her, "Elady, sit down. For once you need to be served.", which is again affirmed by Rarodele: "Listen to Garosan Elady. It is truth he speaks." But Elady doesn't seem to be in the mood to follow their commands, as she turns to Garosan briefly, staring daggers through him, before returning her attention to Aurelyn. "You have spent yourself and need rest.", Rarodele adds, looking ernest, to what Roled nods his agreement.

  Elady raises her hand and, with a finger on Aurelyn's chin, lifts her head so she looks into Elady's eyes "I know you miss Jamona deeply, and we will find her. But you need to recover your strength first." Aurelyn closes her eyes and winces. Zephan walks back into the tavern, Zephan perches himself onto the railing and watches. Elady says more firmly to Aurelyn "We will find Jamona and she will be fine. Have faith, Aurelyn." Aurelyn shakes her head slowly, her eyes still closed, wincing and making desperate efforts not to cry. Elady holds Aurelyn "Go ahead and cry if you want." Aurelyn shakes her head again, slowly.

  Meanwhile, Capilon Spantry enters the Stonehead Tavern, and Rarodele standa up to greet him. Capilon says: "Rarodele, I am really worried about Lady Elady... can I do something? Anything?" Garosan laughs a little "You could get her to sit and recover", to which Capilon answers jokingly, "My name is Capilon, not Laanx" Rarodele makes the more realistic suggestion, "Have you a blanket? If so, put it around her shoulders." Togh looks around, feeling a bit helpless in all this mess, and sighs "If there anything Togh can do..."

  Roled checks on the fresh poltice, and dips it in the saffron mix again before replacing it and redressing Jaycol's wound. He strokes the dwarfs brow gently and then places his hand on his own heart and on the dwarfs for a moment. Hearing Rarodele's suggestion, he turns around at him and tells him "Sir Rarodele, we did put that carpet o'er her..." Rarodele nods and agrees "Elady needs warmth and rest. Rest she will not take for now, but warmth you can give her. Has anyone got a blanket or fur, to put around her?", sounding a little exasperated. Zephan looks at Rarodele, seeing he misunderstood Roled and tries to clarify "Roled has already given Aurelyn a blanket and pillow, Rarodele."

  Elady meanwhile just keeps holding Aurelyn giving her support. While Zephan doesn't seem to hear Garosan's question, "Ibanic get the message to you alright?", he immediately reacts as Elady looks around, catches his eye and mouths the word "tea". Zephan wanders over and hands Elady another mug of Sweet Tinga Tea. A fenki named Jita enters and looks around the tavern. "Wow... That's more of a crowd'n I remember there bein' in 'ere." Zephan turns to her and confirms, "The tavern seems to have become a sanatorium temporarily." Jita furrows her brow. "What's goin' on?" Roled turns to Jita, explaining: "This good kra Togh brought the lady in unconscious and cared fer her."

  Aurelyn slowly wipes a few tears with her palms, opening her eyes again, staring desperately at the floor. Togh sees Aurelyn's despair, looks at her and says "Togh sorry. It all Togh's fault." Aurelyn shakes her head as she hears Togh speaking and tries to speak, whispering as no sounds come from her mouth "No... I have what I deserve..." Togh frowns at her comment, "No one deserve this. Why would good lady as you?" Elady holds the mug of tea in front of Aurelyn and encourages her "Try to take a sip." Aurelyn raises her head slowly and tries to focus on the tea with her eyes, then shakes her head slowly.

  Zephan turns to look at Elady again, while Rarodele still insists "Elady needs a blanket, she needs warmth. Roled, can you find something to wrap around Elady?" - "Aye I can...", he replies. "She will not rest. Not while Aurelyn needs her," Rarodele says. Roled walks into the corner in which the Ojavedan textiles and Jaycol's bed are set up, and gathers up a small carpet in his arms. Rarodele nods and smiles at him, "Thank you." Roled places the carpet around Elady's shoulders and tries to guide her to sit next to Aurelyn, which she declines: "Thanks but I think giving Aurelyn a chance to sit quietly will be the most help for her now." - "I understand that, Elady. But you have also had a deep shock. Take the blanket.", Rarodele answers, seeming to be satisfied as she takes it.

  Roled makes his way out of the tavern to announce "FRIENDS ALL! We have had us a bit of ... excitement ... here this night. Please fergive us, but we be not up to serving food just yet. Thankee fer yer understanding and please come again sometime..." Zephan sighs and shakes his head. "Well I don't know about the rest of you but I'm going to give Elady and Aurelyn some space for a bit," he says, as he moves a bit out of the way. Togh nods at Zephan and says "Togh leave too if they wish", which Roled mistakes as a reaction to his shout, and answers "Sir Togh ye may of course stay.. I were just trying to maybe calm things down a bit." Just to be sure, Togh looks at Aurelyn and asks "Togh stay or Togh leave?", not receiving an answer.

  Garosan realizes that Jita is still armed, and tells her "Ma'am please put your weapons away," which she immediately does, and thanks her for doing so. Rarodele wanders back to the bench and thankfully sits down and listens. Zephan asks Garosan if he can bring him a tea, which he declines "Nay Zephan, thank ye for the offer though." Jita looks to Zephan, and asks: "Hey, what's goin' on in 'ere, anyway?", to which Roled answers "Taa, this has been a difficult night.", and Zephan adds "I wish I knew the whole story, Taa. But I don't." Jita furrows her brow and glances over her shoulder towards Elady and Aurelyn, then looks back to Zephan. "So I ain't the only one confused 'ere?" Zephan shakes his head and shrugs simultaneously.

  Another Kran enters, who apparently did not hear Roled's shout, and greets everyone, and starts a meaningless converation with Rarodele, who kra had met before. Garosan reminds kra: "Kra, please put your weapons away." Garosan asks Zephan again: "Did Ibanic get the message to you?", again not receiving an answer. Aurelyn winces again, looking tired, and slowly closes her eyes, her body slowly leaning as she seems to fall into a deep slumber. Rarodele looks at Aurelyn and smiles "Good, she needs sleep."

  With Krrukk and Rarodele still chatting, Roled sees Aurelyn falling asleep and directs to everyone around: "Folks it might be best if everyone wer to leave fer a while? Would ye all mind please? I be sure Kada El's will welcome ye, and the Stonehead will open again ... sometime soon...", to which nobody seems to react at first. Only Garosan prepares to leave, strapping his armor back on. Zephan gets up to be of service to the fenki.

  Elady also sees Aurelyn has fallen asleep, and asks around "Can someone help me get her to the pillows? I'll sit quietly with her there." Togh nods and gets up, ready to carry the Dermorian over. "Kra Togh and I will help Aurelyn to the pillows, wont we, kra?", Roled speaks to Togh. But Togh already started to lift her, and like before, her weight was like a feather to kra. "Togh can do alone," kra replies, and carries her over to the corner, carefully laying her down on the carpets. Elady sits next to Aurelyn and continues to hold her while she sleeps, while Roled puts the carpet back over Aurelyn and greets Togh "Kra Togh ye are a fine and helpful kra indeed. Thankee sir, tis an honor to meet ye," and kra bows back to him.

  Zephan hands Jita a mug of red. Jita looks to the mug in Zephans hand and shakes her head. "Ah, sorry, no thanks. I ain't in much of a drinkin' mood." - "No drink for you today? Ah, no problem, then," Zephan replies. Jita leans on the bar, "If ye got somethin' like cider, though, I wouldn' mind." Elady looks over to Zephan "Could I impose on you to get food and drink for anyone who needs it Zephan?", but, again, no answer is heard. Roled gathers up the remnant of the potions and healing mixtures, while Rarodele introduces himself to Glundun.

  Togh looks over at the sleeping Aurelyn, figuring it might just be the best to let her be for the moment, looks around and says "Everyone, Togh tired and go now. Good know everyone.", whispers over to Aurelyn "We find Jamona.", and waves at the crowd. Krrukk waves back and answers: "Fare thee well. Togh."

  Rarodele whispers quietly to Elady, "How be you now?"

[Thank you very much for that derula. I had just woken up to work on that. When we decided to set this up on a whim it was intended as a free flow RP to allow player characters to participate or not as they chose to. It was also to allow them to bring a twist of their own into it.(and many have) That first night came rather unexpected. I have to borrow another set of logs to fill in some gaps since my range was limited. You also nicely worked in a few of the miner RP's that came in late that I was unsure of how to approach. Again, I appreciate the work you put into this]

Wow, didn't expect this to take two and a half hours.

[ Heh? You don't know how many times I said that myself  :lol:]

[Though there was a lot of different conversations that seem unrelated at the time they did become a steady part of conversations from the characters involved and others later throughout the following days. Adding a reference/center point for characters to work from. It also added a twist of confusion that participating characters had to sort out and solve. Which made it rather interesting. For that reason I thought it was important to add as much of that evening as possible. I'll be editing and adding pieces that are more centered to Jaycol's situation now. If anyone wishes to add some that I missed or other pieces that stemmed off of this particular evening please feel free to add them.  I learned some small parts of Aurelyn's story from my bed in the corner. I am still interested in how she made out.]

[ * Note: My RL schedule took on a change last week so I habve been trying to work around that. But to bring everyone up to date. Jaycol has begun to stir and should be up and grumbling in a day or two. Thanks to everyone who has stopped by to join in. I hope I can catch a few of you that I have missed so far]

[I thought of maybe summarizing the Aurelyn / Jamona RP some time, but I'm not really sure if it's worth the effort, it would mean going through megabytes of logs again. I'm sure there are as many as 4 or 5 people that played a small role in it who'ld like to know the whole story. Er... I'll think about it.]
