The Elf everyone calls Elrick stands on a bench looking at a crowd. Elrick scans the crowd intently looking for those special few who he knew would be the ones he was looking for.
\"I am going on a quest, a dangeroud perilous quest. A quest for something only told in children\'s stories as they go to sleep. A quest for the ShadowLife!\" Elrick stops to let this settle in into the crowd. scattered gasp and members come from the crowd. \"The ShadowLife, for those of you who don\'t know, Is a device that lets one control Shadow Magiks and energy, giving them almost absolute power. I need party members. Who will join me?\"
-
(OOC: warning. Far. isn\'t exactly official. He is an illegal half breed and will become a full blood of one of his two races when the demo comes out.)
Giving a small grunt of dissapointment. Farsareck pricks up his ears as he hears the elf on the stage thingy talking.
\" Lowsy elves.......but Karneth was an elf.......mabey this one knows him or his family....................\"
Jumping off the front of the steps he quickly glides over the crowd to land in front of the elf.
\" I\'ll join you. \"
(OOC: will have a a desc. and info. on Far on my topic in the Newbie area it still wont load and i not have time to type it. Far. )
-
Out of the crowd came a stout but strong looking dwarf, sporting a double sided battle axe with imprints of dragons seared into the metal.
\"I shall most humbly join your quest, though magic is not something of much concern to a dwarf such as myself. I would rather see you have the shadowlife than some drunk fool, so I shall help you obtain it\"
(OCC: I havent really posted anything on this or even been in character before so dont laugh yet ;) )
-
a white enkidukai steps out of the crowd and aproches the bench on wich elrick is standing. The enkidukai is carrying two katana\'s on his back.He also has a scar on his face going over his righteye. Starting on his forhead and ending on his right cheek. His eyes are blood red and filled with anger. or is it evil? Then he suddenly speaks with a low marsh voice:\"I too will join your quest. But first we must decide what I gain in doing so\"
[ooc]: I wanna be a mysterious character for a while.
-
\"My good man, this is not a quest for personal gain. We MUST do this to dstroy the evil of the shadowlife, or give it to a trusted one for safe keeping. Now come my man what is your name. I am kyalin, son of kragoth, dwarven lord of Marlok at your service *bows*\"
Kyalin then reached into a pack on his back and pulled out a small canteen of beer and began to sing merrily.
-
A man slowly steps out in front of the others, he is wielding no weapon, and his clothing is of that of a farmer, his flesh is pallid and reveals that he is a lemur, he speaks in a soft voice: the hands blessing upon you strangers, in battle against the evil, remember that a sword is the very essence of darkness, do not try to kill evil cause murder makes him stronger, but my cause is your cause for the time being.
This shadowlife is evil and we are the protectors of innocence, darkness will never rule.
-
Elrick nods to the one he thinks is a famer.
\"Yes you are absolutely correct my friend. Now that we have a big enough party I think we can start our adventure. But first we\'ll stay at the Eagle Inn so we can get better aquinted with ourselves. We can\'t go out adventuring knowing nothing about each other.\"
-
\"Ah ha. An inn. I do hope theres a bar. I havent had a good drink since I left Maklor. Some good ale would hit the spot I do say. Let us go, but maybe a good sleep will be better, considering there is a lot of road to be covered tomorrow.\"
Kyalin turned and started heading for the inn, as the others followed.
-
When the party is sitting in the inn the stranger dressed in simple farmer clothing pulls out a heavy money pouch and says I pay the first run, and for the introducing I am Tearlach t\'an Ailech fin Leros and I am first councilmember of the Order Of The Hand, our main goal is the preservation of kindness, friendship and many other virtues.
Our guild is still small so anyone can join should you be interested, as a matter of fact the council is not fully formed and those places can be taken by anyone who joins the Hand.
-
\"As you probobly all know, I am Kyalin, son of Kragoth, dwarven lord of Maklor. It is good to see one of your stature here tearlach, and your clan sounds noble in ideals, but watch who you let in, or you may find your self overrun with greed and evil, but come now, who are the rest of you?\"
-
Well, as all of you may or may not know I\'m Elric Lunarian Elf. The reason I search for the ShadowLife is because of an ancient prophecy of an extinct race coming back from the dead and taking whats rrightfully thiers: The ShadowLife. Now according to my calculations the prophecy should be coming true in about a week or so. But our problem is that the sacred realm where the ShadowLife is held is 3 weeks journey. I fear that we may already be too late though, for we are not the only ones looking for this ShadowLife. And all who search do not have pure hearts.
-
the enkidukai speeks:\"My name is long since forgotten. I am an orphin. I was raised by 2 two dermorians who found me.The gave me the name of ninkwi njadro. Our elven friend should know the meaning of it but for all of you who don\'t know it means white rat. I do not know much about an ancient exctinct race but I shall help you for the time beeing. I think my skills will come in quite handy.\"
Then he looks at tearlach and says:\"You of the order of the helping hand are beeing foolish! The way of the sword is not evil if properly used. You may walk upon us warriors but do not get in the way. For then you will stop us from destroying evil.\"
[ooc:] kyalin have U been reading lotr?? o yeah I am still young in this story. and not evil yet. maybe the shadow life corrupted me. anyway I am a ninja. And i tought some controversy in the group would be nice so tearlach don\'t be offended. As for all of you others I
won\'t kill him or something. I just like some arguing and stuff.
has every1 introduced himself?? then we can go now or is there any1 who wants to join.??
-
ooc: Introductions aren\'t done yet. There\'s still farsareck. And if you don\'t mind, I\'d like to join in.
Midway through the introductions, a young Ylian slams down an empty tankard of ale. Yelling loudly, the attention of a shapely barmaid is captured, and she waltzs over to retrieve the vessel. Meanwhile, the human stands up, withdrawing a bluish sword from his holster and throwing the holster to one side. The heavy weapon shimmers in the dim light of the tavern.
He is dressed in a leather jacket , with a white, loose shirt underneath. Deep blue pants stretched to his feet, practically covering two tall boots. A piece of red string and a luminous green jade hangs down from his neck and over the old jacket.
The Ylian walks towards the group, dry wood creaking with the strike of each boot against its cold surface. Something about him puzzles the others; his short stature and unblemished features suggest that his age is around 15, but his body is robust, sporting well honed muscles that are usually present only in trained warriors. His bronzed skin gleams menacingly under the light.
When he is just a metre away, he hoists the sword easily over one shoulder, and smiles. His eyes are twin black pools, alight with an odd brewing of fire. Not piercing, but not soft, either. They are orbs with well-constructed walls, built to resist any form of invasion. Orbs in which nothing would ever penetrate. Not while he lived...
His gaze too, is one of confidence, defiance and ruthless abandon. It is one in which his enemies would cower under.
\"Hello,\" he says. His voice is low and deep, strung with hidden intent. \"Name\'s Galeic,\" He pauses to savour the moment, then continues. \"I am willing to join your mission.\" Another pause, each one calculated with deadly accuracy to instill fear. A toil of light brown hair falls over his eyes as he speaks.
\"That is, if you will have me.\" This was not a mere sentence. It was a statement that expressed complete and total self-assurance. It was a challenge...
ooc: sorry about leaving the name out. I guess I kind of forgot about that... ;)
-
Remember this \'White rat\' that when you cut down a tree with an axe who of the two is the most damaged?
The tree can if left alone regrow whilst thee sap of the tree stains the axe making it corrode and rust, who is the most damaged?
the tree is harmed but will survive whilst the axe corrodes, remember that evil first makes you kill evil and then it says kill the innocence and you say yes, remeber that ninkwi cause your road may be long and twisted, hard and lonely, but even when your walking that path the order will try to help you, straighten the road, take the rocks from your back, giving you comfort, you need never to kill to triumph over evil, cause there is only one way to the light but many to the Fall, and not all of them are a counscious act of will.
and you my young Ylian what is your name?
-
The enkidukai speaks once more:\" and how will you stop an evil goblin from killing you without a fight?? That\'s right you don\'t! You just get killed yourself. And I as a bushman axed down a whole bunch of trees and never a tree regrew. Not one!! But let\'s stop arguing. We will see who will succeed in battle. The sword or the light. Not that don\'t allready know the answer.Now you said this ancient race will come back in 1 week and traveling to the shadowlife takes 3 weeks. So stop talkin and start walking.\"
Ninkwi Njadro walks to the door looks at the group and sais:\"now come on what are you waiting for??\"
-
Take it slow Njadro, we will need supplies, wouldn\'t be so glorious to die of starvation out in the wilderness, would it?
We could also need a wagon of some sort to transport our supplies and us, making it go faster and we shouldn\'t rush ourself, you forget an awful lot of important thing when your in a hurry.
And if that goblin attacks me I charm him or make him sleepy.
And you won\'t gain anything of destroying the shadowlife if it would only corrupt yourself to something worse, therefore we must have a plan on how to stop it.
And one last thing, that Ylian over there has not presented himself properly yet.
-
Elric looks at the Ylian secrectly judgin him to see if he is fit for the journey.
\"And for what purpose do you wnat to join our humle party? For personal gain? Revenge?\" Elric then looks at Njadro and Leros \"Take it easy my friends. We can\'t have quarelling inside the ranks, for then we shall fail most certainly. And as for this plan we will simply make it up as we travel the road.\"
-
I\'m not quarreling, merely teaching.
But I\'m also interested in our \"mysterious\" friend.
-
\"now now, Raeon is right. No need to argue or \"teach\", let us go get a wagon and supplies now that we know eachother. I shall be able to borrow a wagon from my fathers friend in the city. One person come with me and the rest head to a genral store. We will bring the wagon around to it.
Turning, kyalin walked to the door.
-
Stay your hand Kyalin, there is still one person that is not presented and we must wait for him, it\'s that ylian over there, how can it be that you missed him?
Anyway since I\'m paying this stay so you can just grab a tankard and be merry, and of course make some serious planning.
You can never be to prepared.
-
[ooc]: ey U Dwinney come on introduce urself!! I am not gonna wait around for weaks just cause he didn\'t introduce himself.
Njadro speaks:\" come on man tell us your name! and be quick with it for I do not love ylians! But you say you can help us with our quest! and all help is welcome. But first tell us your name.\"
then he drinks some of his beer, stands up and walks outside.
-
You must excuse the young one, he hasen\'t found out that life is about waiting yet.
With those word the old Lemur takes a sip of his mead.
Hmmm, this mead is of a very good brew, not that the BBB doesn\'t serve better but their quality is of a kind you won\'t find anywhere else.
-
ooc: Hehe, sorry about letting you guys wait. I have edited my post above and included the name. Why this took so long is because I had to go to a friend\'s house today and so arrived home quite late. Once again, I apologize for any inconvienence caused.
-
i dont mean to interupt nut hi dwinny i think you replied on my first post. Were you ever on mpogd forums? any way hi again its been like 4months
-
\"Well now we are all aquainted (occ: I hope ;) ) i think we must be on our way, with the shadowlife a 3 weeks trip away. Though I myself would like to stay and enjoy a good beer and long rest, im afraid there is much ground to cover and very little time with the evils of the world already comign out and wreaking there mayhem upon this land. Come let us journey wiht little rest and break, we MUST do this now if we do anything at all, for so many lives may depend on every decision we make, and though some of us may never return it does not matter, for if we can do anything one thing that is truley good and heroic to stop this storm of evil, I believe it is worth any price, and I myself will sacrafice my blood, flesh, and very life to stop the coming of the storm.\"
-
Strata: Yeah I\'ve been on mpogd forums. Still am. But over there I was mainly a lurker, just skimmed through posts and did nothing except at times advertise planeshift ;) . What\'s your username on those forums? And hi too :D .
By the way I would like to know more about these Shadow Magiks, what are they exactly eg. what race and how they look like. I am also interested in their motives for getting the ShadowLife. What do they plan to use it for, besides controlling the world?
By this time Galeic had found a seat and there he rested, listening quietly, but also with barely concealed disdain. When Kyalin reaches the part about sacrifice, he jerks visibly, then stands up, pushing the chair back with a scraping sound.
\"No,\" he says hoarsely. \"I\'ll will not kill, or as you speak of so valiantly, sacrifice myself for this cause.\" He shoots Kyalin a contemptuous glare, then resumes his speech. \"I will fight to stop evil, gladly, but nothing in this world is worth my life, or my...\" he swallows, uncharacteristically nervous. \"...my death.\"
(This seems to relay an idiosyncratic fear of death.)
He sits back down.
ooc: I\'m sorry if anybody finds the words I use here offensive in any way. This is just part of Galeic\'s character. Please bear with it :)
-
I will also sacrifice everything I am to stop this evil, I would die with a smile on my lips if it would stop this evil, and if it\'s not stopped it will kill us all, even you Gailec.
But let not our death bother us now, let\'s go to the market and supply us, get us transports, if we pool our resources together mayby we can get some of those flying pterosaurs. They cost 45000 trias...
Those would surely make our trip shorter, how much do we have?
Tearlach fetches his pouch and looks down only to discover that the beer digged a large hole in his economy.
He looks up and says: Well, I don\'t have much here sorry.
How about the rest of you?
-
then the group sees that the enkidukai is standing in the doorway.\"I can get us a pterosaur if you want\":said ninkwi njadro. \" And I for one am not planning to die.If you people want to sacrafise yourself go right ahead. And I haven\'t met anyone capable of killing me yet.\"
-
That\'s because you haven\'t start too look yet, but for you to know, a farmer could kill you, it\'s all about timing and what the gods thinks about you.
But we need more than one Pterosaur, we need one for every member plus some to carry our goods.
(OOC: Besides the GameMaster must aprove this since he is the one who is doing all the planning, and maybe it should take three weeks to get to our target.)
-
\"no gods have nothing to do with it and you are right it is about timing but not just timing it has to do with mind and strength too. And I may not seem so smart. And I can\'t do math or magic but I am smart in a different way. there\'s more to it then the eye can see. And about the pterosaurs we need about 8 of them 6 to carry ourselfs and two for all our lugage maybe one for the lugage is enough for I travel lightly. but that\'s good there\'s a pterosaur farm nearby. Come my lemur friend for I need your help\"
-
How are you going to afford it?
If we buy eight, I say we should have ten for all ths supply, the petrosaurs and we need to eat you know, they cost 45000 trias, that is if we buy ten 450 000 trias and if we buy eight it will be 360 000 trias.
After a little paus Tearlach adds.
and the gods have much to do it I can tell you, my god has judged several thousand of people that has failed and lost. And those are only those who has asked for the judgment, knowing that they would pass.
-
ninkwi njadro mmbles:\"grlmrlr you and your gods\"
\" and you said you can charm animals. you can do that?? cause I do not think that pterosaurs will listen to me if I just open the gate. if you could charm them.They would listen to us. and you are right we indeed lack money. I could suply that too. I can get plenty of it but I just don\'t like to spend it if you know what i mean\"
-
Galeic intrudes into the heated conversation. \"Fighting depends both on skill and luck. And yes, the word \"smart\" can be applied to many areas. Everyone is smart in his/her own special way.\" his voice is infuriatingly calm.
\"Plus, I would rather walk on foot than rely on some animals . He spat the word. \"And,\" he continued, regaining his composure. \"Ninkwi, it is impossible to acquire so many pterosaurs. They are far too costly, furthermore we would need to spend too much time taking care of their needs.\"
His voice tightened. \"So would you guys stop your senseless arguing!!\" he almost screamed, finally losing it.
ooc: ninkwi how did you get so much money in the first place? Anyway I basically think we shouldn\'t have so many priviledges/advantages right at the start. Otherwise there would not be so many obstacles for the heroes to overcome. eg when we needed to buy something expensive, we just get some of our own private mountain of gold and buy it?? Where\'s the fun in that? Also, the obstacles could lead to a lot of sub-quests, eg. the king/queen/leader of a certain town wants us to do something (defeat a dragon, recover a lost magical item etc.) in exchange for giving us what we need (money, permission to cross the town without obstrusions).
-
ooc:
I WAS TALKIN ABOUT STEALIN!!!!!!
STEALIN I AM A THIEF
ninkwi:\"what I ment was maybe we could aquire the pterosaurs ilegaly.but I didn\'t want to say that in here for that guards do not like me and there\'s a price on my head. there know you know it but still I will gladly help you in your quest to batlle evil. \"
suddenly a shuriken flys trough the room ninkwi ducks. the shuriken goes into the wall but more follow ninkwi runs outside while dodging the attackers weaponery trown at him. a man in dark clothing walks outside slowly his face is covered under a great black hood. when the hooded man comes outside he sees ninkwi standing before him. they stand still not speaking just staring at eachother. Ninkwi speeks:\"faroth. faroth show yourself I know it is you under the hood.\" ninkwi\'s eyes are thin cracks compared to what tey used to be. His red eyes shine brighter then ever. He is in the highest state of alertness. The black hooded man moves one step towards ninkwi and trows his hood of along with the rest of his cape. now everyone (who obviously walked outside to see what was going on) could see the hooded man was in fact a white enkidukai who resembled ninkwi.. ninkwi laughs:\"haha faroth I knew it was you.\" faroth draws a sword. it\'s a dadao he is holdin it with two hands. ninkwi draws his two katanas.they are still standing silently. then they simultaniasly rush towards eachother. Ninkwi jumps high up and lands behind faroth then he quickly slashes with his sword but faroth was allready turned around and parries the attack. then ninkwi launches anoother series of quick blows one after another. but faroth blocks them all. then suddenly faroth jumps back and attacks. he slashes with his sword.but because he uses only one big sword his blows are stronger but he is slower much slower then ninkwi\'s attacks. ninkwi is trying hard to block all of the attacks. he succeeds but he is growing tired because faroth\'s attacks take much more power to block. ninkwi\'s left sword is blown out from his hand by a strong blow of faroth\'s dadao. his right swrod soon follows. ninkwi is now unarmed faroth laughs:\"haha so I finnaly got you\". He quickly grabs ninkwi\'s arm and turns him around. faroth is now standing behind ninkwi with one arm hldin down ninkwi\'s arms and his other around ninkwi\'s neck. \"haha you are going with me this time\"faroth sais. then he shouts out in pain. ahh he releases ninkwi and grabs his leg \"ahh U stabbed me\"he shouts \"I will get you, little brother\" then he runs away into the woods.
-
((OOC: Sorry I haven\'t been posting lately, Me and my computer got into a fight and well.........She doesn\'t wanna so anything for me anymore. ;( Also the Shadow Magiks aren\'t a race. Shadow Magik is simply an element of magik. The ancient race that is searching for the ShadowLife no one has ever seen so no knows anything about them, except that they search for the ShadowLife.))
As all this is happening Elric is still in the bar slowly sipping his ale. His face staring off into nothing. Abruptly he gets up and looks at his companions.
\"Ok, here\'s the plan. I doubt that we could afford any p-p-,\" The Elf struggles with the foriegn word. \"pterosaurses. Also even if we could simply walking or flying or whatever these things do, to the Shadowlife would attract too much attention. We must travel lightly to travel quickly. And most importantly we must travel in the shadows.\" Elric gets up from the chaird leaving a tip behind for the bartender, picks his Dual Blades up and walks outside the bar heading for the road.
-
ooc: do we have to wait for every1 to post that they get up and walked outside or can we just go now?
-
It\'s still this little thing about food that everyone seems to forget, it\'s also that little thing to transport the food and what animal we should us to transport, since pterosaurs cost what they do, we have to take one of those gigantic spiders, they can carry a bit I must say.
Then the only wonder is the price, does anyone know it?
And how much food we need, thats one rashion of dry meat and dried bread, we need one of each kind every day as a minimum it\'s approximately a three week wandering, that means we need food for at least six week, there and back, add two weeks for safety and we have 56 days rashions for every person, that means 56 rashions of dryed meat and 56 rashions of dried bread, we may need some fresh fruit to not gain diseases, for that i suggest seaweed, pretty cheap and maybe a little fresh fish, we need something to drink for that I suggest beer since it holds longer than water, a ordinary human drinks two litres a day, but since the dry food we will need three litres, thats 168 litres of beer. Then every person needs a 150 l barrel and a water skin (20 l), that means that we take 150 liters of beer and fills our water skins in the lake, we should find additional water in the labyrinth so we do not need to stack up on extra.
I think everyone needs a spider, but thats good since we can ride them also which would shorten the trip.
Hmmm, now we only need to find out what it costs.
-
\"First of all ninkwi I am NOT trying to die, I am simply acknowledging that risk, and accepting that I will take that risk to accomplish any task I believe truley right. But I do not think we should take animals. Not only do they cost money, but we would have to feed them and take care of them, not to mention giving them breaks. We should just travel swiftly on foot, carrying what we can on our backs. I do not plan to be carrying enough rations to last the whole way. I seem to remember that there are wild animals still in this world. Maybe not as appetizing as dried meat(lol), but enough to keep us alive. Take a week of food and water and the rest we shall find on our way, but come we MUST depart now. Too much time have we wasted im afraid, for every second will count.\"
Kyalin heads to the door once again motioning the rest to come, than exits the door out into the market.
-
It will take longer time to hunt than to have our own supplies with us on some sort of animals, if we must hunt to survive it will take about 4 - 6 weeks to reach that place, do we have time for that?
I am thinking of how we can obtain at least one animal with out getting broke and I am more and more thinking about stealing it, may the Hand forgive me.
That seems to be the only way to stop this evil and preventing a greater evil by doing a lesser evil can be justified.
When the judgement comes I will know if I\'m right.
-
\"No I agree with kyalin. I always lived in the wild. I say we take food for a about a week and the rest we will gather on our way. there is always hunting and we can eat at some taverns. And I also don\'t like the idea of riding on spiders. I travel faster on foot.I say we steal some horses they travel much faster then spiders and they can carry a lot more weight too.Tearlach you are gettin better at surviving in this cruel world. where everything is about money\"
ooc: It\'s all abou the benjamins as a wise man once said. altho I can\'t say U could call puff daddy a wise man. But he was right never the less.
-
As Ninkwi is being attacked, Galeic sits unruffled, only glancing up from time to time, almost as if calculating who would win. When Ninkwi stabs Faroth, a faint smile of satisfaction crosses his lips. Now, he listens to the conversation, and without warning, speaks up.
\"The giant spiders are called Megaras. I also agree on the idea that we take about a week or so rations, for each of us. As for food and water...\"
\"...I am an accomplished Hunter, I can forage food for everyone should there be a shortage.\"
\"As for the horses, they are okay, but still take one or two Megaras along if the need arises for us to carry heavy loads.\"
He stands up, hoists his sword up on this right shoulder in that ever-familiar stance, and without a moment\'s hesitation, follows behind Kyalin as he walks out into the market.
-
The group arives on the market. It is very crowded with all sort of races. there are all sorts of shops. The shops surround the market place.
ninkwi speaks with his ussual low marsh voice\"now let\'s see how much money do we have?\". Everyone gives some money.\" this isn\'t enough for horses and food. I say let\'s split up 1 of you come with me. We will get some horses. the other two go buy some food.\"
-
(OOC: sorry.........got grounded for being on too long. By the way, Far. is a Klyros. )
Looking between the group Far. gives a small grunt then starts off in the direction of the closest healing items vendor.
\" Get what you want, but if your injured not my fault you didn\'t get some herbs. \" he says over his shoulder.
-
If you diden\'t know this ninkwi there is no horses down here, besides megaras are gigantic bats and a spider can carry more load than a horse and is faster than walking, we could cut down the travel time to 2,5 week with one of those.
But if you insist on it taking 4 - 6 weeks then it\'s your fault when we comes to late, far too late.
Oh and I\'m a healer by trade, I\'m a priest so I have both curative magic and some first aid knowledge.
-
Elric walks into a stable and buys two Megaras.
\"There now we have enough to carry a heavy load. Horses are not nesecarry and would be to much to worry about anyway. And about food, that will be provided by mother nature. Now we must travel now, no more arguments about buying anything or what we need. We will travel along side the road but not on it.\"
Elric walks out with the two Megaras and heads to the road leading outside the city. The others follow.
-
(OOC: ignore this. We over posted each other. Be on again in about....................1-2 hr.
-
By the time we set out it was almost dawn. The fog was rising, and the refreshing smell of damp grass was enjoyed by most who smelled it, but not all was in order. As it may have looked like dawn, it was not dawn. It was actualy midday, but little light shown through the blackish fog that we hoped would lift. It soon got darker and no one talked. Everyone just walked in the darkness in silence not seeing where they were going. Each thinking up a different version of what was going on. Than without warning wild hoots came from all directions. Red eyes could be seen in the unholy fog that covered all. Then without warning a horde of goblins came crashing down on the group. I swung my axe madly, but with precision, striking goblins in the stomach and taking a few of their heads clean off, but there were many more, and everyone was very busy.
-
Walking along, and listening to the bickering of the healer (Tear.) and the enkidukai (Nin.) Far. gave a quiet growl to himself, when all the sudden the goblins appeared.
Quickly blocking the first thrust from the goblin sword with the wood of his staff, he twisted the end down neatly slicing away the goblins legs. Then he reversed the twist bringing the blade back up and slicing the goblins head clean off as it fell.
Jumping up into the air, and floating he surveyed the battle. It seemed about seventy goblins were there all in all, and all were on the bloodlust. Just then he noticed the healer surrounded.
\" Great! \" he mumbled, as he flew down to his aid, cleanly slicing of two of the goblins head.
(OOC: will finish later)

And then one of the goblins turned on the others, fighting desperatly for the healer.
\"I guess he wasn\'t joking about having some talents.\" Far. thought jumping up into the air and kicking another goblin in the face.
\"Watch out that\'s the goblin king!\" Someone shouted as a huge roar fills the air, and a huge goblin walks out of the fog.
\" Blood and Bloody ASHES! \" Far. shouts as he lands next to the one ylian human.
\" Time for some fun eh? \"
-
ninkwi was walkin behind all the rest when suddenly the goblins attacked. ninkwi quickly ran around the goblins and attacked them from the outside of the circle. He ran with his two katanas pointing out both sides of him this way he quickly slashed a lot of goblin troths one after another fell down. Now he was standing in the middle of the circle along with al the others He was fighting fierce. Then they heard a loud terrifing growl. it was so loud you couldn\'t even hear the dying goblins scream nor the metal swords clashing. the goblins retreated when suddenly out from the fog a huge goblin appeared. ninkwi shouted:\"Watch out that\'s the goblin king!\"

Galeic was being his own indifferent self when the goblins appeared. Light pattering of goblin feet, however, soon captured his attention. He stood in his classic combat stance, sword held firmly in a inclined position before him, ready to block or strike at any time. A goblin swiftly came over to challenge him, and at this the Ylian snickered sardonically. He attacked first, hardly allowing the creature even a moment to catch its breath. It only gaped in shock as Galeic spun in a blur, the wind catching his jacket. His blade came down, triple force with the momentum of his fluid spin, slicing cleanly, deftly...
Crimson blood painted the arid ground a slick, wet colour. The goblin wavered on his feet, slowly at first, then with increased speed, as its body failed. It fell.
Smug and triumphant, Galeic went on to dispatch the remaining goblins, fuelled by his victory. As the very last one died, he heard someone shout, \"Watch out that\'s the goblin king!\"
Turning around smoothly, he was caught off guard by the enormous creature standing in front, roaring a battle cry. It was approximately 4 times larger than the average goblin, and towered a good metre over Galeic. Its fiery red eyes burned with evil fire, and the Ylian could almost feel its anger radiating. Indeed, he was conscious of the others\' obvious fear...
-
Tearlach was staniding and looking when the others slaughtered goblins, a goblin come to close and with a flickering of a finger it\'s little brain was attacked and filled with a message: he\'s your friend, he is of the Hand and the Hand always look after it\'s own, protecting him and he will protect you.
The goblin fought valiant for his friend until they heard someone scream \"The gobling king\"
Then he and the goblin looked upon the large thing.
-
Elric had just beheaded another goblin with his Dual Blades when he saw the goblin king emerge from the shadows. It was a monster Elric never seen before. Of course he had heard rumours, but he never thought that they were true. But now as the goblin king approached him Elric only stood there in pure fear, forgetting completly of the battle around him. A small lesser goblin saw Elric standing there and charged at him. The elf never saw what hit him. A sharp pain ran through Elric\'s stomach. The elf looked down and saw a scimitar sticking out of his stomach. The scimatar had a pinkish look at the top. The blood of himself mixed in with the white poison of the goblins. Elric collasped to the grounda s the terrible warmness spread throughout his body.
-
Tearlach sees what\'s happening to Elric and rushes forward to him, he drags the scimitar out of his body, careful to not give him further damage, looks on the blade and notices the rest of the poison, quickly he depletes some more mana to slow the poison, and after that he tears of an sleeve and raps it around the wound to stop the bleeding, after that he says to the goblin: Guard us my friend let no enemy reach us.
Then Tearlach starts to examine the poison to determine the nature of it.
-
ooc: huh It posted the same message twiceso I just edit this into something usefull.
U can read ninkwi\'s biography in another thread in this board it is called big brother. here U can see who faroth is. and this adventure is after the second encounter this chapter I still have to type. I have allready written it on paper.
-
In the mean while ninkwi is still apart from the rest and he can\'t see further then a meter. The goblin king is standing at his side about 2 meters away. but he doesn\'t see him. ninkwi\'s nostriels move and he turns his head. BANG! he is hit with the goblin king\'s giant club. He flies 5 meters trough the air before he hits the ground. He\'s smacked to the ground and he rolls and bounces like a rag doll. His eyes are closing slowly. the floor is shakin. boom..... boom.... \"oh no that\'s the goblin king aproaching\" he tought. \"Get up ninkwi GET UP!!\": He said to himself. but his arms wouldn\'t cooperate.Now the golbin king is standing at his feet raising his club preparing for the final blow. ninkwi closes his eyes and prepares for the worst. he hears a loud growl and a thump. he opens his eyes and sees faroth fighting the goblin. \"what\" he said. faroth looked up at ninkwi and said:\"if you die it will be by my hand. now get up! I am not letting you get away another time\" ninkwi regained feeling in his arms and legs. He got up picked up his katana\'s because they were trown of his back in his flight. and he runs towards the goblin king and he stabs him in his leg. hi katana goes in deep. he puts his foot agains the goblin\'s leg to pull it out. \"what the goblin is still standing\" he shouts\"what do we have to do to get rid of it\". now the goblin king is surrounded by faroth and ninkwi .Faroth in front of him and ninkwi in his back. Ninkwi shout:\"I heard of this creature! he has a very small brain and can only focus on one thing at a time! WE MUST SURROUND HIM!!! I NEED SOME HELP!!
-
Meanwhile, after getting over the initial fear, Galeic charged forward insanely, not caring, nor even seeing anything around him.
He jumped, absurdly high. For a moment he wondered why he could defy even the laws of gravity, but that question was soon banished from his mind as the terrible creature loomed increasingly closer.
He aimed for the eyes. Its liquid red eyes widened as realization struck.
Ah, you were a fool to let me attack first, Galeic thought exultantly. Now I\'ll kill you.
His eyes flashed with the jubilance of imminent victory, and this was for a moment mirrored in his blade, twin sabres of light sparking against the darkening sky.
The sword came down in a blur. Just as it was about to hit its target, Galeic saw in its eyes what he had missed before: an evil, triumphant gleam.
No! he thought in horror, and tried to draw back. It was impossible. As he fell, the goblin king uttered a short, contempeous laugh and swatted him like a fly.
The Ylian dropped to the ground like a stone, then slipped some yards back. Such was the strength of the creature...
He tried valiantly to get up, but his body ached in all places. Blood spilled in a pool around him. He wondered dimly if he was going to die here, now.
Several noises were heard in the distance. Wha... he thought dizzily, then his ears cleared. \"I NEED SOME HELP!!\" Ninkwi! was the first thing that came to mind. An onslaught of emotions rushed past, only to be slaughtered by burning hatred.
Yes,
Now I will have my revenge
He got up, ran forward and positioned himself between Faroth and Ninkwi, sword poised precariously in an attack position...
-
all three of them were fighting bravely.ninkwi,faroth and Galeic. The Goblin king was confused. he didn\'t know where to hit his giant club. he was just spinning and pounding on the floor with his giant club. every time his club hit the floor. the floor trembled and shaked as it was an earthquake. Ninkwi stabbed the king in his side. then faroth did the same. blood was dripping out of the goblin. it flowed very slow because of the goblin\'s thick leather-like skin. To penetrate goblinskin you need to have a razor sharp sword and great power behind it. Ninkwi tought of it in a flash. The neck almost every creatures weakspot is in it\'s neck because the neck connects the brain with the body. take out nerves in the neck and the body becomes uncontrolable. Ninkwi shouted:\"FAROTH!!\" \"YES!\"Faroth replied. \"divert his attention!! make him turn his back to me!!\". Faroth shouted:\"HEY YOU BIG UGLY!! COME AND GET SOME!!\". Then Faroth grabbed some shurikens and trew them at the goblin king. This didn\'t seem to hurt the king. But it did annoy him greatly. The goblin king only attacked Faroth and forgot about ninkwi and Galeic. The king turned his back on ninkwi. Ninkwi tought\"must be fast\" He jumped high up landed on the goblin back with his two feet next to the kings head. He held one katana in two hands to strike with extra power. He raised his sword. and just as he wanted to strike the goblin noticed him. The king kumped and turned. He shook heavily!! trying to get rid of ninkwi.
-
Tearlach saw what was happening whilst he was tryiong to remember what cure he needed to use, he thought: we do not need more wounded, if they were more they would have a greater chance or if the goblin king thought they were more, it would give them a better chance to remain unharmed, with that he throws a confusing spell making the king believe that they are more than they really are.
Then Tearlach t\'an Ailech fin Leros whispered low to himself: Now it\'s all up to them if I\'m going to be any help when the battle is over.
-
As the king is occupied with Ninkwi and Faroth, Galeic rolls off to catch his breath. Out of the corner of his eye, he spots Tearlach, and recognizes by the way he casts the spell that it is one which would make the king believe there were more of them than there actually were.
His eyes dances with a near demonic humour as he sees the king\'s eyes cloud with confusion, and starts hitting thin air, damaging himself in the process.
As the king was close to dying, he leaps upwards, then stays suspended, slashing downwards in a flurry of strikes, blade moving faster than eye could follow.
Blood spews out all over, but none touches the Ylian, who had by this time landed facilely on the ground. The king stands still for a moment, and the others worry if he hasn\'t yet been defeated. Then, it literally falls apart, large pieces of his enormous body littering the ground. Galeic too stands up, pausing for the briefest moment to brush the dirt and mud on his leather jacket.
\"Let\'s go,\" he says impassively, calm and composed after the initial rush of anger. His face and features, once again cool and collected, reveal no emotion and are impossible to penetrate.
-
We need to find a better place to take care of Elric, I have just halted the poison he has in his body, he will die if I don\'t remember what poison it is, think Tearlach, think.
Tearlach stands still thinking, after several minutes he says almost silent:
White poison, victim radiates heat, you can feel it yourself if you touch him, I think it must be Grelnixar, no wonder I didn\'t remember it at first, it doesn\'t exist anywhere near here, it won\'t kill him it\'s an oil extracted from a vrel plant.
The problem is that when he wakes he will start to run and he won\'t stop. It\'s called running death.
I know of a cure but we must travel farther before the plants that are needed will be available.
He must be watched constantly, he won\'t attack you but he will try to run, you can\'t talk to him either, he is to obsessed to hear you.
We will take shifts I take the last, but now we need to move as soon as I stopped his bleeding.
Tearlach touches the wound and starts to chant lowly in a dreadfull tongue, after a while the edges around the wound becomes a little white and the bleeding stops completly.
-
(OOC: who\'s Faroth? )
\"Nice job. \" Farsareck, says to the Ylian, stareing at the bloody chunks of goblin king.
\" Tearlach, what plant is it? I\'ll go get it. I do have wings after all. \" He said as if trying to remind them of the obviose.
-
ooc:read this thread (http://www.planeshift3d.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=679&boardid=15&styleid=1) to learn more about faroth. He\'s gang leader. He attacked me on the first page in this thread (shadowlife) and saved me on the third page
as ninkwi was sitting on the goblin kings back he is beeing trown around like a rag doll. The king is jumping and shaking heavy. Ninkwi tries to hold on. Then the goblin king jumps high up and ninkwi falls off. he hits the floor with a smack.and the pieces of the goblin king fell on him.The goblin kings body wasn\'t moving. bet then there\'s a lump moving. A big flap of meat goes up and from under it ninkwi appears. all covered in the goblin\'s and in his own blood. He stood up and said:\"man it is smelly in there\". Then he laughed.
-
\"Thanks,\" Galeic mutters, then turns his attention to Tearlach who had finished his chant. \"Could we give him a sedative to prevent him from waking up for the time being?\" the priest nods in reply.
Galeic rummages in the pockets of his jackets and comes out, clutching a few leaves that were pinkish in colour.
\"Remlir,\" he explains to the others. \"I may not be a healer by trade, but my mother once taught me about these curative leaves, berries and flowers.\"
He passes them on to Tearlach, who crushes them in his left hand until a white liquid seeps out. Tilting the Elf\'s head back, he forces several drops down Elrick\'s throat.
After several minutes, he stops and announces, \"Done, this should keep him asleep for at twenty-four hours at least.\" he halts for a moment, glances at the unconscious figure lying beside him. \"Meanwhile, we have to travel to find the cure.\"
(Let\'s not drag this on too long, lest the real mission is forgotten. Moreover, we have only three weeks to complete the mission.....right?)
-
ooc: yeah let\'s dump his unconsius body. j/k
-
Since he is the one who knows where we are going, remember he has only said how long it takes to get to our target, the rest we don\'t know so we must find the cure for him, but we can still move in a starightforward direction so we will probably get closer to the target.
The plant we are searching for is yellow, has no leaves is 4 - 8 cm high and may grow on the walls but they grow more often in cracks on the ground.
Oh yes, when you find one, don\'t touch it let me do that job. For the matter of fact, don\'t go near it. The plants name is Shutinis.
-
\"what may I ask happens when you do touch the shutinis??\"ninkwi asked? \"and how willl we move him??\"
-
I have some gear that protects me from the spores that this plant uses to protect itself, it will hopefully be enough.
But let us go, the sedatives won\'t last for ever.
We can tie him to one of the spiders.
-
Galeic nods grudgingly. Looking around, he spots some long vines lying on a patch of grass nearby. Bending down, he picks them up and entwines them together, forming a strong-looking makeshift rope.
Following his example, the others also make similar ropes, then dragging Elric\'s body a little, ties him to the strongest looking Megara.
The Megara grunted, but once the Elf was positioned correctly, it started bounding along easily, hardly noticing the extra weight.
Galeic nods in satisfaction. Running swiftly to catch up with the spider, he then leaps up and settles comfortably on top, at the same time taking care not to let Elric\'s body fall.
-
The group walks on trough the fog. The fog is still dense. from time to time you hear elric mumble something in his sleep. suddenly ninkwi breaks the silence:\"well we have been walking for hours now. Who knows with this thick fog maybe we are walking the wrong way.\" suddenly the fog is getting thinner. The group comes out of the fog. and what they see is a beautifull temple. They are standing higher and they look down on the temple the temple is surrounded with a village. The group walks down towards the village. then ninkwi said:\" no watch out! this is the city of um gollor! Be ware for traps. In the temple you see lives an evil sorcerer called durion. Aare told me about this. I always tought it was a myth. but now I see it is true\".\"do you see that sign.\" ninkwi points at the temple. on the temple are tree triangles that form a triangle.\"
ooc:I am gonna write a story about durion. all U need to know now is that he is an evil elf sorcerer. the thread with further info on durion i will call durion.
-
\" Have fun taking care of the sorcerer, I\'ll go see if i can find the plant for Elric. \" Farsreck says as he turns his back on the village and leaping into the air, soars back towards the forest.
\"Sheesh.....talk about getting sidetracked..........................the flower i understand, but an evil sorcerer......sheesh!\" Landing gently on the outskirts of the forest, he slowly walks into the fog/forest.
\"Sure is hard to see in here, if only nightvision could see through fog as well................Shutinis.........haven\'t heard that name in awhile.......last time i saw some i was on the third level................oh well. \"
Ignoring his thoughts he walked on.
-
Tearlach follows Farsarecks when he soars away, picking up what he says, and Tearlach fin Leros t\'an Ailech thinks: hope he doesn\'t try to collect it by himself he won\'t survive that.
Altough he is right about that sorcerer, we can always take on him later.
-
\"Now i wonder where i will find this shutinis.............\"
He is cut off as an arrow hits his leather jerkin, and luckily didn\'t peirce the skin.
Ducking behind the closest tree, he quickly dug his claws in and swiftly climbed up the tree.
Looking down and trying not to make a noise, Far. silently hisses as another Kyros steps out of the woods. This one he realized, was wearing the strange type of coat as Tearlach.
\"I wonder if that is the coat is the same type of coat as Tearlach, has.........\" He silently thinks to himself.
\" Kyros! Come out. I know you are hiding behind that tree. \"
\" I mean no harm. I am just looking for some.....\"
\" Shutinis i know. That is why i am here. You see, this coat is the only one that\'ll keep you safe from the spores......you don\'t believe me? LOOK!!!!!!\" The other Klyros say, as he opens a pouch, and grabs something from it.
Suddenly he throws it at the trees that Far, was hiding in. Far had just enough time to see that it was indeed Shutinis before it smashed into the tree spraying spores every where.
Quickly, Far jumps into another tree.
\" Klyros, I am here to offer you a deal. The sorcerer, has been watching you. He knows where you are heading. He knows, what it is you seek, and he knows that Elric, has gotten the running sickness. And he knows.........all about each of you. What if i told you that there was a traitor in your group? That he will, eventually, be turned evil by the shadowlife? He wishes for you to join him. \"
\" No. I have given my word to Elric. Will you give me the coat and Shutinis? \"
\" If you want it......you must take it! \" The klyros says, taking off his coat and the pouch.
\" We fight. No armor or tricks, just weapons.\" He says, as he pulls out two long wickedly curved scimitars.
\" Agreed.\" Far says, slowly gliding down, and landing on the forest floor. He takes off his leather jerkin and pants, and gets into combat position staff held vertically in front of him.
( Hope that helps. Ninwik, make sure you include this Klyros in your story about the sorcere. I will do the fight later. Far. )
-
Tearlach sees this, and when Farsareck agrees to no tricks, he silently think for himself then I can just watch, I can\'t break his word.
I really hope he survives this, and that he hasen\'t got hit by one single spore.
-
Galeic stares coolly at the temple, contemplating what paradox the three triangles would hold.
He swivels round momentarily as Farsareck and Tearlach leave, genuinely wishing them the best of luck in finding the Shutinis. Then he returns his attention to the temple.
The fog wavers gently in the air, for a second clouding his vision. Presently it floats away again.
Everything lies still and motionless...
(ooc: Come on Ninkwi, get on with your story.)
-
Elric has caught the running sickness, everyone knew it. But the thought had finally got to his head. He Elric bronzewing. A Lunarian Elf, the proudest elven race of them all had caught the running sickness from a goblin, the most disgusted and hated race. Elric couldn\'t bear the pain of losing his pride and dignity. He just sat there limp as the large spider carried him down the path. Elric in his sleep keeps seeing that same event happen over and over again. The massive Goblin King emergin from the shadows, fear sweeping over him, the pain of the scimatar going through his body.
Elric woke up one day and saw a dense fog. Of course he thought he was dreaming, but he heard Ninkwi speak and he knew then it was real. But the elven sorcerer Durion, it was nothing but legend. A story told to children as their parents tuck them into bed. But Elric knew Durion was more than legend. He was real, very real. The evil elven sorcerer, cast out by his own family went to live in the forest to work on his masterpeice. Elves are immortal creatures, they survive through age. Durion was there at the creation of the ShadowLife eons ago. He even helped make it himself. He knows what the ancient race is.
Elric tried to say something to his companions, he tried to tell them what Durion really was. All that came out was mumbles. Then Elric felt his legs burning. A dull burning, but it grew and grew untill Elric couldn\'t stand it anymore. He had to get away, he had to run away.
-
Galeic found his mind wandering.
Durion... Where had he heard that name before? It seemed to bring back distant memories...memories of bloody battles, wars and death...
They weren\'t anything good, that was for sure.
A sudden movement out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. Elric!
Quickly, he bent down to hear what the Elf was saying. Elric\'s eyes were glazed with panic, and his mouth opened and closed, yet no sound came out. Not a good sign.
\"What?\" he found himself saying. He leaned in even closer.
\"Du - Durion...\" was all he heard, followed by weird, senseless mumbles. He frowns in puzzlement, then notices Elric\'s legs twitching furtively.
Realization hit, followed by growing horror.
\"Ninkwi!\" Galeic shouts, calling out to the Enkidukai who still stands staring fixatedly at the temple as if entranced, oblivious to the happenings around him.
\"Wha-what?\" Ninkwi swivels round in surprise, then he too notices Elric\'s condition.
\"I thought your leaves\' sap was supposed to keep him asleep for a day at least?\" he grunts as the two struggle to restrain Elric.
\"There are exceptions,\" the Ylian mutters after a short pause.
-
OOC: sorry took so long...grounded from internet.
Standing in a defensive position, Far studied the other Klyros across from him.
He stood in three pronged lightning, on foot forward, the other turned to make an L shape, one of the scimetars, held above his head horizontally, and the other held down vertically in front of his body.
Far realized that he was facing a master blade,and was quickly thankfulof the blade teaching that Karneth had given him, before he had died. A quick pain of quilt shot through Far as he thought about Karneth, and he shook it off.
\" Begin \"
Far and the other Klyros launched themselves at each other. Quickly the other Klyros twisted his hands so that he had a blade held on each side horizontally and left his chest open.
Had Far been using a sword or blade, he wouldhave died right then,but there are some advantages, to being a Klyros, and having a staff as a weapon. Digging one of the blades into the ground, he jumped up onto the blades protocter and from there, into the air. Where opening his wings, he flipped over the other Klyros, and pulling his blade free clipped the Klyros on the shoulder with a blade as he landed.
\" I just realized, \" said Far backing away from the other klyros, towards a bush where he had heard some rustling, \" You have the advantage over me. \"
\" How\'s that? \" Asked the Klyros, slicing at Far.
\" You know my name, while i have not an idea of yours. \"
\" Tarfen! \" Shouted the Klyros aas he launched him self at Far blades extended.
\" Well, Tarfen, \" Said Far nimbly knocking the blades aside, and slamming his hip into Tarfen\'s side, \" I guess we are equal now. \" Jumping up he quickly backflipped over the blades coming towards his back.
Backing away, he warily studied Tarfen, and the new position he had taken. The boulder.
\" I know about Karneth, Far. \" Tarfen suddenly says.
Staggering back Far stared at Tarfen.
\" How? Can you know about him? \"
\" Easy.........i was the one who killed him when we attacked you. \"
Suddenly images of that rainy night came flashing back to Far. The swordist, that had seperated Far and Karneth, the large Kran that had attacked Far from behind.......the gloden dagger he had lost when the kran attacked him.............
\" YOU!!!!.......\" Far shouts throwing himself at Tarfen.
The river rushes the Boulder, The leaf, meets the lightning storm. Knocking away both blades, Far dropped to his knee\'s and undercut at Tarfen\'s legs, knocking them out from under him. Jumping up Far stabs at the empty spot where Tarfen had just been. .........and ducks in time to avoid the chop at his neck from behind. Rolling he catches sight of Tearlach hiding in the woods.
\"The healer! Why did he follow me!?\" Quickly Far jumps up and swings his staff under his legs, and feels the jerk as they bite into flesh and hit the bone.
He heard a sharp intake of breath and quickly soared in the opposite directionas the intake. Spinning in the air, he looked at Tarfen nursing a chopped ankle.
\" Farsareck, I know everything. From how your parents tried to kill you, to your solitary wanderings as a young theif. I even know about how Karneth rescued you when yo got caught that one time, and how he earned your trust. I even know why, you are so hard trusting. I know how you would gladly die for a friend................like Karneth, \" as he was speaking he slowly started to fade into the background and dissapear, \" Farsareck, you have won this battle. As agreed you may take the plant and the coat, and you may trust the healer hiding in the woods over there. For you will be needing him in the close future. You all will. \" And with those last words, Tarfin faded completely from sight.
Turning back towards the woods, Far staggered and grabbed his side. Looking at his hand, he noticed the bright red blood, and the huge slash running down his side, before he collaspsed and the darkness overcame him.
The last impression he had for awhile, was of Tearlach leaning over him mumbling some type of strange language, then the peaceful darkness
-
After completing the Crimson song Tearlach takes out his protective gear from his backpack and walks towards the spot where Tarfen left the clothing and the plant, he slowly grabs the plant under the leaves and then put a it in a reinforced ringmail pouch, then he wraps the pouch in a piece of silk.
After that he bandages Farsareck with the suit that Tarfen left behind.
Then Tearlach fin Leros T\'an Ailech lift Farsareck up with a groan, thinking: I\'m to old for this, running around and saving the world, if I had some mana left I could throw a levitation spell and just drag him home, but no he must get wounded and pass out, wasting my last mana and then forcing me to use my old arms.
Tearlach walks towards the rest of the party, stagering a little because of the heavy burden.
-
Far is slowly awakened to hearing someone mumbling under their breath.........something about their age, and how they weren\'t fit for this anymore.
\"Where am I? \" he wonders silently........then all the sudden everything came back to him.
\"How much did he hear and understand.......?\" He silently thinks..
\" Why did you follow me? \" He asked Tearlach.
-
Tearlach stops mumbling and answers:
I followed you because I didn\'t think that the wizard where important enough for the time being and I wondered what you were going to do, and if you had found one of those plants we need I would have stopped you from going near it.
Did you get hit by a spore by the way?
It\'s really important to check...
-
\" That i can believe Tearlach, but i still think you had another reason..............No i was nor hit, but if you would not repeat anything you heard, or saw to the others in the group when we get back, i would be most grateful.....I believe i can walk now. \" He says as he lightly gets out of the healers arms.
\" Will you agree not to tell anyone, what happened?\"
-
Tearlach puts down Farsareck and says:
I cannot lie, but I will help you to the limit of my ability.
But how are you going to explain your bandages?
-
\" I thank you. You don\'t have to lie for me, but mabey give an edited version of what happened cutting out the fight.............just say a creature gave us the Shutinis.......as for the bandages............a tree exploded in the forest for some reason, when i jumped on it. You think that will work? \" He says,studying Tearlach out of the side of his eye.
\"What did Tarfen mean?\" He quitly thinks to himself.
-
I can\'t do that, I can tell the truth and nothing but the truth.
But I\'m no old fool, you will see that it will all work out for the best, if the Hand helps you.
Shall we continue our journey to the others now?
-
Giving a smal resigned sigh, Far started to slowly walk back towards the town.
\" Oh well.......just don\'t make me a bloody hero or anything. I did something that any normal being would do for another. \" Hoping that his feint had worked, Far again studied Tearlach, who was keeping pace beside him.
\"What did Tarfen mean?\" He found himself wondering again.
-
Slightly smiling Tearlach says:
Don\'t be humble, You are not that great.
I presume you don\'t want to tell me what that really was about?
It\'s not everyday you get assaulted by a stranger in the middle of nowhere you know.
And if you don\'t want to tell, take someone with you that can look to your wounds...
-
Giving Tearlach a stare at even mentioning that he might desert the group after having given his word. Far decides to finally explain.
\" I just bloody don\'t want to have that young elf in debt to me..............last time time that happened they ended up dead. Of course i\'ll stay with the group, but i just didn\'t want the elf.................i\'m repeating myself arnt I..........I tell you something healer. I know you heard what Tarfen said. He wasn\'t a complete stranger. We had met before............what he said about me being hard trusting, was true. But i\'ll tell you this healer, and friend Tearlach. You have just gained the trust of a very good friend and protector. \" He says stareing Tearlach straight in the eye.
-
Tearlach puts is hand over Farsarecks heart and recitates with closed eyes:
May our friendship be as strong as the rock and as everlasting as the crystal, may our lives be eachothers shields and may our souls protect eachother from the darkness in the dark Umbra, may we meet again on the other side of hell.
Tearlach then opens his eyes and smiles, and says:
I\'m not one of those that lets my friends down, you can trust that.
Silently Tearlach thinks for himself: wonder how I shall explain to my charmed Goblin how important he is now.
-
Looking at Tearlach, Far feels something strange and then shrugs it off, knowing that what the healewr just did was somehow very importeant.
\" Mabey we should go catch up with the others. \" He says turning and slowly starts to walk of back toward the village.
-
Yes, let us get back to the others, we can cure Elric now so we can get ourself over to the Shadowlife and make a stop to it.
Wonder were my Goblin is by the way...
-
\" hmmmm.............i don\'t know...............can\'t you find him somehow? \"
-
He is probably hiding in a tree near the camp, he\'s afraid of the others when I\'m not around.
If he spots me he will probably reveal himself so I\'m not that worried.
But let us go now.
Tearlach starts walking toward their camp.
-
taking one last look around. Far turns and follows Tearlach back towards the camp.
-
OOC: Far. slips and BUmpos thisa to the top of the list.,
-
The two travelers have now walked a bit and when they are almost in the camp a little green thing jumps down from the tree and throw itself on Tearlach with a happy little scream, digging his little goblin face into Tearlach shutinis suit.
Tearlach says to the happy little creature: I wasn\'t away that long was I?
Come on now, stay close to me, we shall see what the others have done when we were gone.
The goblin follows Tearlach and Farsareck into the camp.
-
OOC: Not going to let this die.
BUMP

On seeing Tearlach\'s and Faraseck\'s return, Galeic turns and waves, a faint smile on his lips.
However, it soon vanishes as he catches sight of the little green goblin hiding behind Tearlach. His eyes dart suspiciously between Tearlach and the creature, and a black gloved hand tightens around the hilt of his sword.
Frightened, the goblin lets out a high-pitched shriek, then bounds forward in unrestrained terror, brandishing long curved claws as weapons.
It takes a huge leap, aiming its claws at the Ylian, for once catching him completely unawares...
-
When the little goblin starts clawing at Galeic Tearlach immedialtely runs after him and as the Ylian gets his sword out of its sheath Tearlach gets a grab of it\'s little ear and drags him from from his intended victim.
Then Tearlach starts to comfort the little being.
As he is stroking the little green thing he says to Galeic:
You should be a little more trusting, Goblins do react against thrats you know. But this is not that important, the important thing is that we found the shutinis that we need, can some of you untie Elric, he may wake up when you are moving him, hold him down even if he is still asleep.
-
taking a look at the goblin. Far quickly jumps in the air and soars over to the elf\'s unconcious body.
\" Hang on, this might be painful. \" He whispers into the elf\'s ear, knowing that he could hear and understand him. As he gently unties him and sets him on the ground holding him down for Tearlach.
-
With a sad look on his face, Tearlach takes forth his pouch and a knife, he gives it to the goblin and whispers something in it\'s ears, the little goblin walks away a bit from the others, opens the pouch and takes out the plant, he takes the piece of silk that Tearlach had wrapped around the pouch, puts it on the ground and then he carefully lays the plant on it, he then takes the knife and cuts the plant open, when he does that the plant fires out a cloud of spores that sourronds the goblin, the little green creature is screaming and rolling around on the ground, slowly the scream fades to a little whimpering.
After a few seconds more the goblin stops to whimper, gets up, shakes his head and starts to wander of to the woods.
Tearlach goes to the Shutinis, picks it up and pours some oily substance from it into a bowl, then he goes back to Elric, forces his mouth open and pours down the fluid and then he forces him to swallow.
Almost directly Elric starts to scream like his body is pierced with red hot needles, he rolls around throwing Farsareck away and then his whole body shudders of all the spasmes going through it, as his body twists forth and back you can hear Tearlach through the screams: some of us thought it where the pain that made them snap out of their wandering lusts others thought it were some magic property the plant had, and a third part thought it were a combination of both, they tested to see if it were the pain that made them snap out of it, my faction were of course against that action, (a long high scream makes the rest of the party unable to hear what Tearlach says) -ied other tests also to find out if it were magical, but it werent, there is no healing pattern at all in that plant, but still the only thing that stops that disease is that sap, it\'s lightly poisonous you know, (another scream) -t will soon wear out and he will be awake in 2 - 8 hours, I will take some needed rest while we are waiting for him to wake, I just want to make sure nothing goes wrong.
Then he sits there watching Elrics fight against the pain for another 5 minutes, then Elric passes out.

all of a sudden a group of demorians walk in and sit around the bar. ur guild overhears them talking about the shadow life. this is bad, real bad, because this is the group of dermorians called the DLA (dermorian lifelong alliance/its not a real guild just in the story) they are a large group of experienced hunters and adventurers. after a half an hour they then out of the tavern ahead of u.

Besides i am waiting for someone to post, i have almost every second post. And I\'m not that good as leading character.)

Galeic frowns. \"Two to eight hours?\" he mutters.
Then aloud, \"Never mind the fog, I shall go down to check on the village.\"
He tightened the strings on his leather jacket, picked up his sword, and before anyone could protest, was racing swiftly down. The last words the rest heard from him was \"Take good care of Elric!\"
And then he was gone.

Tearlach looks on Farsareck and says Elric will be fine, he has survived the dangerous parts and won\'t be needing us in some time, Gailec on the other hand will surely need some help if he is going to take on a sorcerer and his lackeys by himself, in a worstcase scenario this evil magician may have allied himself with the forces of the Dark Umbra itself.
