On a relatively normal day, in a relatively quiet tavern, evil began to brew in the form of Marsuveus Dastro, a tall, tattooed Ynwyn, who spies a local dancer named Kauwela near him in the tavern. No one knows much about Marsuveus, or how and why he chooses his victims, but as Esorono and Xifer have discovered, he is ruthless, showing no mercy, stopping at nothing to achieve bloodshed.
Marsuveus maintains the guise of a drunken stupor to slip a small amount of a sleeping agent into the liquor which he passes to Kauwela. Also present in the tavern is a skilled healer named Scipion, an Enki named Sacho, and a few others upstairs.
[I took out the /tells and such, they're spoilers at times
]
(19:07:16) Marsuveus stumbles towards the bar, drinking from his mug as he walks over, eyeing Kauwela "Would you...uh...want a drink..uh..."
(19:07:19) [NPC] Allelia Symiestra says: Welcome, friend. What can I get you today?
(19:07:27) Kauwela says: Sure, I'll take a liquor.
(19:07:42) Scipion smiles, nodding "And what about a guild?"
(19:08:13) Racip shouts: Hello to everyone
(19:08:16) Marsuveus slurs his words, managing to convey to Allelia that he desires a liquor
(19:09:04) >Marsuveus gave Kauwela a Red Liquor Mug.
(19:09:05) Marsuveus takes the mug from Allelia, peering into it curiously as he hands it shakingly to Kauwela
(19:09:18) Kauwela takes it and takes a sip "Thanks."
(19:09:36) Sacho says: Yes, I am a member of a guild. Although, I only know two of its members." He smiles a bit. "A friend of mine really wanted me to join. Unfortually, I haven't seen him for some time."
(19:10:03) Marsuveus grins slightly, raising his own mug to sloppily take a few large gulps
(19:10:18) Scipion nods, smiling "Interesting...what guild is that?"
(19:10:24) Kauwela begins to sip the liquor slowly.
(19:11:07) Sacho says: Corps Virtuoso.
(19:11:09) Kauwela says: Liquor's good.
(19:11:44) Kauwela takes another long sip.
(19:11:54) [Tell] Kauwela tells you: [how fast does it act, and what effects does it have?]
(19:11:59) Marsuveus grins, nodding again as he sips his own mug
(19:12:23) [Tell] You tell Kauwela: [about 5 minutes until she's totally out of it...still conscious, but totally drugged...
]
(19:12:41) Scipion sips his beer again "Never heard of them..."
(19:12:48) Racip shouts: I feel more ...enki!
(19:12:50) [Channel] [1: gossip] Shak: What's a decent cooking level?
(19:13:00) [Channel] [1: gossip] Racip: 20
(19:13:27) Kauwela finishes the liquor off unusually quickly and begins to sway ever so slightly on her heels as she sets the mug on the bar.
(19:13:52) Sacho nods. "That doesn't surprise me. I don't believe there are that many members and others have been away on travels for some time."
(19:14:26) Marsuveus eyes Kauwela, eyes glinting slightly before going back to his drunken behavior, spilling his beer all down his chin as he finishes off the last few sips
(19:14:52) Scipion nods in return "That would explain it I suppose...what does your guild do?"
(19:15:09) Kauwela continues to sway ever so slightly, bracing hercelf against the bar a bit.
(19:15:51) Marsuveus slams his empty mug on the bar, continuing to watch Kauwela
(19:16:12) Kauwela is showing increasing difficulty staying upright.
(19:16:21) Sanrai murmers, "Thank you, Allelia"
(19:17:00) Sacho chuckles softly. "Not too much from what I have seen." His voice becomes more serious. "We are to help others as we can and help our members become the best they can."
(19:17:06) Marsuveus steps toward Kauwela, slipping his arm behind her waist "Come on now...upstairs..," he says in a less drunken-sounding voice
(19:17:32) Scipion smiles "Good, that's a very good goal to have..."
(19:18:35) Kauwela begins to walk uncertainly towards the stairs, swaying subtly still as she does so.
(19:19:10) Marsuveus tugs Kauwela a bit more firmly towards one of the rooms
(19:19:16) Sacho says: Yes, I believe so. Do you have any other questions?
(19:19:41) Scipion thinks for a moment "SO what do you enjoy doing in your spare time?"
(19:19:52) Kauwela is swaying noticeably now and tries to brace herself upright with the aid of the dresser.
(19:20:46) Sacho grins. "Mostly studying. I enjoy learning whatever I can."
(19:20:49) Marsuveus kneels down, patting Kauwela's dress lightly to search for pockets, his eyes gleam slightly as he sees her jeweled bracelets
(19:21:11) Scipion smiles, nodding "Which led you to come study surgery, right?"
(19:21:13) Kaerli looks at the box sitting there, then picks it up and shakes it forcefully.
(19:21:34) Kauwela finally passes out from the drugged drink, face down on the floor.
(19:21:37) >Kauwela Marsuina takes a seat.
(19:21:44) Oralon's box feels light but nothing much can be felt in it.
(19:22:13) Kaerli shakes it more violently as she listens to the box, hearing the steady noise inside it.
(19:22:15) Marsuveus grins, snapping out of his acted stupor as he reaches down to slip Kauwela's bracelets from her wrists, and her necklace from around her neck
(19:22:41) Kauwela is still out [note: Kau has 2 necklaces]
(19:22:45) Sacho shrugs. "Some what. I have had interest in healers since I was young, so I started learning about magic. But, not everyone responds well to it, so over time I also begin to learn ways to heal."
(19:23:17) >Xeleana Foronax greets Scipion Darirker.
(19:23:19) >Xeleana Foronax greets Sacho Awotoha.
(19:23:48) Marsuveus struggles to untie the second necklace, yanking it forcefully from Kauwela's neck as he turns his attention to her belt and small pouch
(19:24:12) Scipion smiles, nodding at Sacho as he turns to Xeleana "Hello again miss Xeleana"
(19:24:24) Kaerli casts Psychic Blow on the box's contents "I wonder what's in here..."
(19:24:40) Kauwela is still passed out on the floor.
(19:24:41) Xeleana smiles "Hello"
(19:25:02) Xeleana says: How are you today?
(19:25:02) Oralon listens carefully.
(19:25:05) Sacho glances over at the dermorian for a moment.
(19:25:49) Marsuveus rolls Kauwela over onto her stomach, grunting as he does so, beginning to unclasp her belt, pulling the blue cord out from her dress, catching the small pouch as it drops to the floor
(19:25:59) Scipion smiles "I'm well, and yourself?"
(19:26:06) Kauwela begins to stir as she is rolled over.
(19:26:39) Xeleana runs her fingers through her hair "Oh I'm well too, thanks for asking"
(19:27:00) Marsuveus begins to work slightly faster, continuing to search Kauwela's person for valuables
(19:27:17) Scipion smiles warmly at Xeleana "Glad to hear it"
(19:27:35) Xeleana says: Your friend mister?
(19:27:42) >Xeleana Foronax raises an arm and points towards Sacho Awotoha.
(19:27:49) Kauwela looks up, visibly confused.
(19:27:49) >Xeleana Foronax greets Sulaika Letaza.
(19:28:00) Xeleana says: Hey Sulaika
(19:28:01) Scipion smiles "This is Sacho..Sacho, this is Xeleana..."
(19:28:18) Sacho gives a short bow to Xeleana.
(19:28:20) Xeleana curtsies sweetly "Hello Sacho"
(19:28:47) Marsuveus tucks the looted valuables into his pouch, reaching for Kauwela's neck as he begins to drag her upright
(19:29:10) Scipion smiles, indicating the table next to him "Care to join us?"
(19:29:18) Kauwela wildly grabs for the hand at her neck.
(19:29:19) Sacho smiles. "Nice to met you, Xeleana."
(19:29:35) Kaerli focuses, building a shield of flames around herself (FlameSpire) in addition to dropping Electrotouch on herself.
(19:29:38) Xeleana says: of course
(19:29:44) Kaerli says: Something's quite clearly alive inside that box.
(19:29:49) >Xeleana Foronax takes a seat by Shak Hillrunner.
(19:30:04) >Shak Hillrunner takes a seat.
(19:30:15) Kaerli then brings her hand down on the box full-speed, smashing it open.
(19:30:25) Marsuveus applies a bit more force, cupping his arm around Kauwela's neck as he again tries to force her upright
(19:30:40) Oralon's box smashes and a thousand moth like things fly out of it.
(19:30:51) Scipion turns toward Kaerli, staring curiously at the insects that appear
(19:31:01) Oralon rushes to the door and tries to close and lock it.
(19:31:02) Kaerli watches as sparks and flashes of flame begin to hit the moths who try to converge on her.
(19:31:34) Kauwela is forced upright by Marsuveus, still struggling.
(19:32:35) >Shak Hillrunner stands up.
(19:32:45) Kaerli remains focused on the spells as the hungry moths become flying lemmings in their desperate search for a meal.
(19:33:57) Sacho looks to Scipion. "So how about yourself, do you have a lover or guild?"
(19:34:20) >Xeleana Foronax greets Geoni Lavu.
(19:34:40) Marsuveus reaches behind his back, drawing a long, thin falchion from a sheath in his belt, pressing it against Kauwela's neck as he pulls her forcefully towards him, whispering gruffly in her ear "Make a sound, and I'll cut your throat.."
(19:34:55) >Scipion Darirker greets Esorono Osuiger.
(19:35:00) Xeleana watches the grumpy patrons enter with little interest
(19:35:01) Kauwela doesn't react much to the whisper, but stills somewhat.
(19:35:01) >Esorono Osuiger greets Scipion Darirker.
(19:35:13) >Esorono Osuiger takes a seat.
(19:35:15) Scipion smiles "Only a guild....House of Trayus.."
(19:35:22) Scipion turns to Esorono "Hello Esorono"
(19:35:23) Esorono says: kga everyone.
(19:35:27) Esorono smiles.
(19:35:36) Kaerli watches as the last of the moths burn themselves out, looking around at the roasted moths before beginning to scoop them up and eat them by the handful.
(19:35:46) Xeleana raises her brows "Trayus, like Lord Trayus' House?"
(19:36:02) Scipion turns to Xeleana "Yes, why?"
(19:36:03) Sacho nods. "Excuse me for a moment, I am going to see what the cook has available."
(19:36:06) Geoni heads over to Allelia, digging kra's right hand into the sac of tria as kra sports a frown at her, looking at everybody for a second before giving Allelia all the attentiion "I want beer!" Geoni slaps a few hexas on the bartop, giving Allelia a look. "Please!"
(19:36:15) >Sacho Awotoha stands up.
(19:36:16) Scipion smiles, nodding to Sacho "Okay"
(19:36:27) Xeleana says: He's a charitable man
(19:36:35) Kaerli then turns and walks up to the door to the room, drawing her swords as the spells die down and she finishes the last of several handfuls of roasted shadow moths.
(19:36:51) Xeleana says: He is however a little cold and distant
(19:36:55) Kaerli chops at the door with her blades forcefully
(19:37:02) Scipion smiles at Xeleans "Yes...perhaps a mixture of both..."
(19:37:55) Marsuveus listens to the sounds of the swords near, pressing the falchion against Kauwela's neck "Not a sound...," he says gruffly, but quietly
(19:38:02) Xeleana says: But it's rather prestigious to be in the House, you must ahve some special talent.
(19:38:14) Kaerli chops through the door and steps through the hole she made.
(19:38:23) Xeleana says: What do you do?
(19:38:36) Kaerli says: I wonder who left me that box of shadow moths...
(19:38:39) Geoni takes a beer from Allelia and gives her a quick nod before gripping kra's right hand firmly on the mugs handle, kra's left hand placed back on kra's back. "Something feels weird 'bout this place today."
(19:38:50) Kauwela stays quiet.
(19:39:05) Scipion smiles "I'm a medic... i thought you knew that miss Xeleana.."
(19:39:10) Sacho looks over at Kaerli with a frown. "Did you have to cut your way through that door?"
(19:39:25) Xeleana laughs "You never told me anything like that"
(19:39:28) >Esorono Osuiger greets Geoni Lavu.
(19:39:33) Kaerli says: Yes, it was locked and apparently you can't get out of a locked room without a key...
(19:39:42) Scipion laughs out loud with Xeleana "Well, I am.."
(19:39:43) Kaerli says: Talk about a fire hazard...but that's neither here nor there.
(19:39:44) Geoni turns around and gives everybody a look before stepping over to one of the bare tables and takes a seat, spilling a little bit of the beer on kra's chest as kra does so. "Not my day..."
(19:40:04) Sacho sighs. "Well, please put them away. You have no more need of them."
(19:40:11) >Geoni Lavu takes a seat.
(19:40:11) Esorono says: What happened?
(19:40:15) Kaerli says: Not sure about that.
(19:40:26) >Kauwela Marsuina stands up.
(19:40:54) Sacho's eyes focus on Kaerli as he speaks quietly. "Why?"
(19:41:00) Kaerli says: Alright, what are you doing here sir?
(19:41:06) Xeleana dips her nose near her charm flower and lightly sniffs it pleasant scent before looking up to Scipion "So what have you been doing?"
(19:41:16) Geoni takes a few gulps of the beer, half of the mug quickly going down kra's throat before kra speaks up. "I see people castin' fire spells on my nice little walk, my back starts hurtin' as I come here, and now I got beer all ov'a my chest."
(19:41:17) Kaerli says: Would you happen to know something about that box?
(19:41:30) Oralon is holding his shirt "Getting ready to go to sleep."
(19:41:36) Oralon says: And no, sorry.
At this point, Kauwela is held at blade-point, forced to remain quiet whilst Marsuveus waits for the sounds of the action in the other room to dissapate.
(19:59:16) Sacho silently gets up and walks back upstairs.
(19:59:20) >Sacho Awotoha stands up.
(19:59:24) Geoni lets out a sigh after the pivoting stops. Kra looks at the menki and says "I don't feel good today, and all the healin' and prayin', and invitoratin' I been doin' hadnn't done a thing, you cant help."
(19:59:57) Geoni frowns and looks away from the menki as he gets out of his seat.
(20:00:28) Marsuveus looks around Kauwela, peering out the door, keeping his falchion pressed against her throat
(20:00:28) Sacho nods as he passes the kran. "I am sorry to hear that. I hope tomorrow goes better for you."
(20:00:47) Geoni lets out a quiet chuckle as the menki walks by.
(20:02:30) >Esorono Osuiger greets Scipion Darirker.
(20:02:34) Geoni goes to follow the menki upstairs, shaking kras head as kra says to kraself "Not meanin to put people off, better go and /apolygize/" Geoni grunts and lets out a sigh as kra slowly ascends the stairs.
(20:02:37) >Geoni Lavu stands up.
(20:03:39) >Scipion Darirker greets Esorono Osuiger.
(20:03:57) Geoni tilts kra's head in an upward diagonal direction "Uh...sir menki, where'd ya go?" Geoni looks through all the doors, clinging onto the walls as kra looks around.
(20:04:40) Sacho smiles at the kran. "No need to apolgize. Everyone has a bad day from time to time."
(20:05:00) Geoni looks in front of kraself and jumps back "Ah! There ye are! I just had this feelin' ya better at healin' than I am."
(20:06:02) Sacho nods. "How were you injuried?"
(20:06:10) Scipion smiles at Esorono "did you see where Sacho went?"
(20:06:48) Geoni shakes kra's head at the menki "I'm not injured, I juss always had a bad back the past few years, but now, these past few days, I been feelin' worse than ever, and nothin I can do is helpin'!
At this point, the people upstairs have gone back downstairs, and presumably, left...This allows Marsuveus to begin his attempted escape.
(20:07:38) Marsuveus roughly shoves Kauwela towards the door, keeping his falchion edge against her neck "Walk, slowly..."
(20:07:47) Sacho nods. "Well, lets go downstairs. I just hear a friend of mine enter and I believe he may be able to help."
(20:08:09) >Esorono Osuiger greets Xifer Fyresoul.
(20:08:18) Xifer orders a liqour
(20:08:23) Geoni looks upstairs, feeling vibrations of slow footsteps coming from above. Geoni then looks down at Sacho for a moment.
(20:08:24) >Scipion Darirker salutes Xifer Fyresoul with respect.
(20:08:36) >Xifer Fyresoul salutes Scipion Darirker with respect.
(20:08:51) Scipion salutes Xifer, saying proudly "Hail Trayan!"
(20:08:58) Kauwela begins to walk forward haltingly.
(20:09:17) Xifer salutes Scipion and says "Hail Trayan!"
(20:09:20) Geoni turns kra's head to the two coming down the stiars.
(20:09:26) Sacho pauses for a moment looking at the party coming down the stairs.
(20:09:31) Esorono says: Hi Xifer.
(20:09:37) Xifer says: Hello Esorono
(20:09:42) >Esorono Osuiger stands up.
(20:09:43) >Esorono Osuiger takes a seat.
(20:09:51) Marsuveus stops abruptly on the stairs, puliling Kauwela back against him as he snarls at the Enki and Kran "Back, both of you!"
(20:10:14) >Zalya Dastrid greets Esorono Osuiger.
(20:10:15) Geoni blurts out at the Ynnwn "Excuse me?!"
(20:10:21) Xifer hears something from the stairs
(20:10:37) Sacho stares right at the ynnwn. "Release her then."
(20:10:56) Xifer hears Sacho speak
(20:11:09) Marsuveus snarls again, pulling at Kauwela, falchion still barred across her throat "Both of you, back up now, or her blood is on your hands...now!"
(20:11:15) Geoni point kra's finger at the Ynnwn in a sloppy fashion, the arm bouncing around "You need to learn ta' be respectful to ya elders."
(20:11:48) Marsuveus turns toward the Kran "Shut up and back up! you have 3 seconds!!"
(20:11:49) Xifer stares at the entrance to the stairs "What's going on..?"
(20:11:54) Geoni frowns as kra sees a falcon wrapped around the diaboli's throat "What you doin to that young lady?!"
(20:12:19) Marsuveus grins wickedly at Geoni "3...."
(20:12:36) Esorono decides to follow Xifer.
(20:12:38) >Esorono Osuiger stands up.
(20:12:49) Xifer sees Kauwela
(20:12:52) Sacho sighs as he holds out a hand full of circles. "Let her go and you may have these."
(20:13:05) Geoni shakes kra's head "I'll remember that voice, go on through and If I do find blood I'ma find you!"
(20:13:22) Marsuveus laughs at Sacho "You think I want your money???"
(20:13:27) Xifer's eyes flash black as the night as he sees Marsuveus, recognizing him
(20:13:33) Marsuveus grins wider slightly "2...."
(20:13:50) Esorono growls a bit seeing Marsuveus.
(20:13:58) Xifer's arm lights on fire "Marsuveus, let her go!"
(20:13:59) Geoni grunts out an "Rahh!" of frustration as kra shakes kra's head at Marsuveus and backs up onto the wall, leaning onto kra's back.
(20:14:19) Sacho continues to watch the ynnwn. "See you have taken her necklace and other items, what else would you want?"
(20:14:45) Marsuveus presses the dagger against Kauwela's throat slightly harder, roaring at the crowd as he slashes downwar across Kauwela's chest, running for the rooms upstairs
(20:15:23) Kauwela collapses forward, clutching her chest, bleeding profusely from the sword wound.
(20:15:28) >Kauwela Marsuina takes a seat.
(20:15:29) Xifer backs up, the fire on his arm dieing a bit "Just let her go." he pulls out Marsuveus's falchion "You want this?"
(20:15:46) Geoni leans down towards the ground and tries to pick up the diaboli.
(20:16:05) Xifer throws a fireball into the room after Mar
(20:16:07) Marsuveus leaves Kauwela, racing for a room as he bolts and shuts the door
(20:16:12) Sacho quickly moves to Kauwela's side and pushes against the wound to help control the bleeding.
(20:16:22) Kauwela says: That man...he robbed me...drugged drink...and then he did this...help me...
(20:16:31) >Sacho Awotoha takes a seat.
(20:16:33) Geoni attempts the scoot Kauwela out of the way of the stairs. "Stay still!"
(20:16:45) Kauwela stays as still as she can.
(20:16:48) Xifer makes a dagger out of fire and throws it at Mar
(20:16:57) Esorono goes through his bag.
(20:17:18) Sacho shouts. "Scipion get up here!"
(20:17:21) Geoni tries to pick up Kauwela, struggling to do so. "I'm gettin' you outta here young lady."
(20:17:28) Xifer draws Mar's falchion
(20:17:31) Marsuveus raises his falchion swiftly to block the dagger, but is unable to knock it completely away, and snarls as the blade burns into his left arm
(20:17:47) Scipion races toward Sacho's voice "Coming!!!"
(20:17:49) Kauwela is lifted with but a whimper.
(20:17:53) >Kauwela Marsuina stands up.
(20:18:05) >Sacho Awotoha stands up.
(20:18:14) Scipion curses, seeing Kauwela, as he lowers his sack to the ground "Keep her still!!!"
(20:18:15) Xifer grins as the dagger burns Mar, his black eyes focused on him
(20:18:23) Geoni waddles downstairs, carrying the diaboli as kra does so. "Umph your heavy!"
(20:19:04) Marsuveus steps toward Xifer swiftly, raising his falchion before slashing downward at Xifer's face
(20:19:39) Sacho seems surprised as he watches the kra carry Kauwela off.
(20:19:40) Scipion says: Get her on a table!
(20:19:51) Xifer parrys the blow, but not entirely. he lets out a groan as the blade scathes this cheek. Xifer slashes at Mar's side
(20:19:56) Geoni groans in pain and sets her down on the ground near the table.
(20:20:06) >Kauwela Marsuina takes a seat.
(20:20:18) Kauwela looks up weakly
(20:20:31) Marsuveus continues in the motion of his strike, ducking to Xifer's right as his blade continues his stroke, clashing against Xifer's falchion
(20:20:53) Scipion motions toward Sacho "Cloth and bandages, quickly!"
(20:21:00) Geoni looks at Scipion and shakes kra's head "I can't handle liftin people anymore!" Kra looks on kra's chest, blood staining it, as kra looks down at the diaboli weakly. "Your safe now, just let me get to prayin'."
(20:21:17) Zalya frightend on whats going on watches.
(20:21:31) Sacho pulls out a few bandages from his haversack and hands them to Scipion.
(20:21:38) Xifer glares at Marsuveus as the blades clash. Xifer goes on with a flurry of blows and adds in a couple of punches with his flaming left fist
(20:21:52) Scipion tears open Kauwela's dress, exposing the wound as he graps the bandages and presses them against hte wound
(20:22:22) Geoni closes kra's eyes and casts a healing spell towards the diaboli, muttering something in a low toned voice as kra does so.
(20:23:02) Marsuveus is unable to block a bunch, being focused on parrying Xifer's strikes, snarling again as his side is burned, aiming a powerful stab at Xifer's stomach
(20:23:20) Geoni keeps kra's eyes closed, his face angled down towards the diaboli as kra keeps muttering in prayer, casting crystal way spells on her chest.
(20:23:35) Scipion reaches back, grabbing Sacho's paw "Here....keep pressure on this while the kra is healing her..."
(20:23:42) Kauwela looks up as she begins to feel her strength return "Thanks..."
(20:23:50) Zalya obviosly frightend "Sacho? Is that you? Whats going on?"
(20:23:54) Sacho carefully watches Scipion. Then quickly follows his orders.
(20:23:57) Xifer goes to the side, but not fast enought. The blade cuts deeply into his side, causing him to yell in anguish "Ahh!!"
(20:24:07) Geoni opens kra's eyes and looks down at her, not praying anymore "Do you need me to keep on?!"
(20:24:19) Marsuveus dashes for the door, seeking to escape while Xifer is injured
(20:24:45) Sacho half glances at Zalya as he keeps pressure on the wound. "Yes."
(20:24:49) Vilthis eyes widens as he hears the yell "That sounds familiar"
(20:24:59) Xifer falls to the ground by the door, managing to cut at Mar's leg on his way ouyt
(20:25:03) >Xifer Fyresoul takes a seat.
(20:25:08) Scipion draws a set of fresh bandages, pressing them against the wound as well
(20:25:23) Kauwela continues to lay there
(20:25:35) Marsuveus stumbles slightly roaring with pain as he smashes into Esorono with his shoulder
(20:25:35) Geoni prays again, this time without closing kra's eyes and muttering. Kra fidgets as kra lets out a cough.
(20:25:39) Zalya says: D-Do you need help?
(20:25:40) Esorono looks at Xifer then Marsuveus.
(20:25:49) Esorono gets pushed.
(20:25:49) Xifer holds on to his stomache with is left arm, groaning in agony
(20:26:06) Marsuveus makes a mad dash for the stairs
(20:26:09) Vilthis crosses his arms "Captain, get the doctor up here"
(20:26:16) Sacho quickly answers. "Just wait, we may."
(20:26:22) Esorono tries to grab on to him.
(20:26:47) Scipion loos at Sacho, listening to the action upstairs "Sacho...you need to heal her...once she's healed from the kra's magic, stitch her up like i showed you..."
(20:26:56) Scipion looks at Sacho confidently "You can handle this..."
(20:27:00) Geoni attempts to cast one more spell of crystal way on the diaboli, but the spell is weak, and it stops halfway in it's course. "Ugh, I can't do this anymore!" Geoni gasps.
(20:27:02) Xifer mumbels something, either illegible or in another language
(20:27:16) Marsuveus twists powerfully, losing his footing, but manages to free himselft from Esorono's grasp
(20:27:22) Vilthis grasp his crossbow hanging from his hips and fires a bolt aimed towards Mar's leg fludly
(20:27:40) Zalya says: Merra?
(20:27:42) Marsuveus falls to the bottom of the stairs, leg pierced from Vilthis' crossbow bolt
(20:28:06) Xifer begins to shiver, blood pouring from the woundon his stomache
(20:28:09) Marsuveus struggles to his feet, trying to make it to the balcony
(20:28:09) Sacho frowns as he pulls one of his hands back as he mutters a spell under his breath.
(20:28:10) Esorono looks back at Xifer and rushes into the room.
(20:28:18) >Esorono Osuiger takes a seat.
(20:28:27) Zjok motions to Scipion,,"We need you up here"
(20:28:28) Esorono says: Xife?
(20:28:30) >Scipion Darirker takes a seat.
(20:28:38) Kauwela stirs slightly "Will I get my things...back?"
(20:28:49) Geoni stumbles over to the wall, hitting it hard as kra gasps for breath. "I'm to old for this mayhem!"
(20:28:56) Xifer drops the weapon in his hand, both arms grabbing his stomache "A..Aye..?"
(20:28:57) Scipion kneels down next to Xifer, looking at esorono "Keep talking to him!! Just keep talkign!"
(20:29:12) Vilthis walks down the stairs with immense contempt as he gazes down at the wounded Ynnwn
(20:29:14) Sacho smiles a little as he quickly pulls on some gloves and begins to stitch the wound up.
(20:29:22) Zalya says: Can I help at all, I know some bit about the crystel way?
(20:29:50) Marsuveus roars in pain as he vaults the railing, limping as he hits the ground, trailing blood from a now broken leg
(20:29:55) Merra says: hey Zalya
(20:30:34) Vilthis follows the trail of blood
Now, Marsuveus is bleeding profusely from his sword wounds, and the crossbow bolt which is buried in his leg...The trail of blood leads Vilthis and a guildmate inevitably towards the sewers.
(20:32:34) Marsuveus limps weakly down the sewer stairs...
(20:34:02) Marsuveus glances over his shoulder, cursing as he sees Vilthis following him, and picks up his pace down the stairs
(20:35:25) Marsuveus snarls, finding himself cornered
(20:36:13) Vilthis remarks nonchalantly with his crossbow aimed aquarely at Marsuveus "You best have some explanation..."
(20:37:00) Marsuveus back up to the wall, holding his falchion up defensively "I did nothing!! that idiot Demorian attacked me!!"
(20:37:56) Vilthis replies cooly "If that is so, surrender yourself then and stand trial to defend yourself"
(20:38:30) Vilthis points to Marsuveus' leg "Resistance would be futile..."
(20:39:33) Marsuveus spits "To whom? corrupt members of your own tribunal?"
(20:40:37) Vilthis retorts "The vigesimi shall preside over your charges"
(20:41:23) >Marsuveus Dastro takes a seat.
(20:41:38) Marsuveus collapses on the ground, shaking as he sobs "I've done nothing!! I'm innocent!!!"
(20:42:40) Vilthis comments nonchalantly "Tell it to the judge"
(20:43:24) Marsuveus sobs on the ground, apparently unable to rise
(20:43:40) Vilthis approaches cauttiously with his crossbow pointed at Marsuveus "Do you yield?"
(20:44:24) Marsuveus sobs again, tears flowing from his tattooed face "Yes....just please...please don't kill me..."
(20:45:05) Zjok draws 2 throwing knives into hand as a precaution
(20:45:48) Vilthis nods as he performs a somatic component to a binding spell through azure way, locking the Ynnwn's arms behind him
(20:46:31) Marsuveus waits until Vilthis is as close as possible, then rolls swiftly to his right, wincing with pain as his arms are bound first, lashing out powerfully at Vilthis' chest with a vicious, two-footed kick as he spirals through the air
(20:46:33) >Marsuveus Dastro stands up.
(20:48:12) Zjok moves quickly into a throwing position and with expert accuracy drives hard two knives into Marsuveus chest with great force"
(20:48:20) Vilthis gets caught off guard in the middle of the somatic components and his spell is interrupted in an effort to deflect the blow with his superior melee abilities
(20:49:39) Marsuveus is thrown backward as the knives embed themselves in his thick leather chestpiece, the tips penentrating his chest slightly as he preses his advantage on VIlthis, stabbing at the joint of Vilthis' shoulder with his unbound arms
(20:51:15) Zjok moves again and draws two more knives
(20:52:11) Vilthis skillfully anticipates moves and jams his crossbow before him to catch the blade between the prods
(20:52:55) Zjok shouts at Marsuveus "Come to your senses man"
(20:53:30) Marsuveus twists his steel blade, twisting powerfully to his left, trying to free the weapon from Vilthis' grasp as he strategically postitions himself behind Vilthis
(20:55:38) Vilthis gives the crossbow a firm twist to discard the blade caught in it and draws a knife from his bandolier an the similar motion and plunges behind him
(20:56:16) Vilthis says: in*
(20:56:22) Marsuveus dives in a directly backward motion, his flachion clattering uselessly to the ground as he draws a long, thin dagger from his belt
(20:56:27) >Marsuveus Dastro dropped a Steel Falchion.
(20:56:55) Marsuveus holds the falchion out, ready to block any incoming knives as he sprints for the stairs
(20:57:32) Zjok sees Marsuveus move to escape and turns to give chase
(20:58:02) Marsuveus ducks behind the grendols to avoid any knives as he passes them
(20:58:21) Vilthis remarks "poor fool" as he utillise his superior dark way mastery and animates the Ynnwn's shadow
At this moment, something interesting occurs. Instead of the shadow ripping at Marsuveus' flesh, the shadow is absorbed into Marsuveus, his wounds darkening, then beginning to heal slightly...
(20:58:47) Marsuveus grins, his wounds seeming to slightly heal as the dark way magic encounters him
(20:59:06) Marsuveus sprints off toward the other end of the sewers at a renewed pace
(21:00:47) Vilthis watches the peculiar phenomenon with shock
The pursuit continues, bringing the group to the end of the sewers, in a damp and dark pit, where Marsuveus suddenly finds himself surrounded.
(21:01:03) Marsuveus snarls, finding himself cornered again
(21:01:25) Vilthis lifts his cabalist axis and attempts to cast Claw Vortex to surppress Marsuveous movements
(21:02:43) Zjok remains at ready and keeps a distance
(21:02:58) Marsuveus snarls, fighting the bonds as he tries to escape
(21:03:22) Marsuveus roars, succumbing to the powerful spell as he collapses
(21:03:41) Vilthis watches the spiraling claws overcome Marsuveus in a bloody and brutal spectacle
(21:03:47) >Marsuveus Dastro takes a seat.
(21:04:43) Marsuveus lies, panting as he bleeds from an unnumerable amount of deep scratches and cuts
(21:06:06) Vilthis watches the bloodied and raw body of the Ynnwn with some disappointment and cast magical sleep on him to effect his arrest
(21:06:43) Marsuveus rolls over, his near-black eyes staring at Vilthis with a look from beyond the grave
(21:06:57) Marsuveus struggles, reaching his hand slowly to his pack, with great effort
(21:07:25) Vilthis leaps back astonished by the movements
(21:07:33) Marsuveus grabs hold of a small, black glass capsule, struggling immensley against his bonds, and the oncoming sleep
(21:08:24) Zjok motions toward Marsuveus "Watch him Vilthis"
(21:08:30) Marsuveus slowly brings the capsule up towards his mouth, mouth open in effort and anticipation
(21:09:09) Marsuveus expends his last effort, squeezing the fragile glass capsule, sending a small amount of glass fragments and a dark, bubbling black liquid into his mouth
(21:09:18) Vilthis uses his psychic blow to impact hard against the Ynwwn's head in effect to knock both pill and his head away
(21:10:27) Marsuveus's head twits in silent fury as it is pushed powerfully to the side, a great percentage of the liquid falling from his mouth, but the deadly poison has already begun it's work
(21:11:15) Vilthis uses his newly discovered epiphany and surges the Ynnwn with a deadly surge of Dark Way Weakness spell
(21:12:26) Marsuveus's body twitches, the Dark Way spell driving the poison from his body, exiting through his ears and nose, his veins near his wounds turning jet-black and they begin their strange healing work
(21:12:29) >Marsuveus Dastro stands up.
(21:12:38) Vilthis grasp on to the Ynnwn tight like a nice grip and deadyly entropic energies shrouds him before looking up at Zjok "Captain, disarm him!"
(21:13:19) Zjok quickly disarms Marsuveus
(21:13:43) >Marsuveus Dastro dropped a Steel Falchion.
(21:13:51) Vilthis looks down coldly at Marsuveus "I need answers...And you will not have the mercy of death until i get them.."
(21:14:19) Marsuveus struggles against his bonds, rising to one knee "Death isn't a mercy, it's living here that's the death for me..."
(21:14:24) >Marsuveus Dastro takes a seat.
(21:15:26) Vilthis grasp Marsuveus by his throat and glares at him intently "I'll re-write the definitions for you..." and looks up at Zjok "Have him in binds captain"
(21:16:53) Zjok removes a rope from his pack and securely binds Marsueus hands behind his back
(21:17:55) Marsuveus spits at VIlthis as he is bound "And what do you know of death?"
(21:18:38) Vilthis looks at the still conscious Ynnwn and quotes from Dakkru's revelations "When you die without dying, that is to know her"
(21:19:40) Marsuveus grins through his bonds, showing blackened and bloody teeth at hearing the words
(21:19:56) Vilthis lifts his morbid appendage in plain sight and throws a brutal blow to Ynnwns face to knock him out forgoing the less painful sleep spell
(21:20:05) Vilthis says: to the*
(21:20:35) Marsuveus is thrown sideways with the force of the blow, falling unconscious, the wicked grin still plastered on his face
(21:21:57) Vilthis looks up at Zjok "Captain, bring him to our quarters in the Winch... And get the doctor too" grinning with a degree of satisfaction
(21:22:40) Zjok nods "Yes sir"
(21:23:42) Zjok summons a familiar "Give me an hand to strap him on the Rivnak here"
(21:23:54) >Marsuveus Dastro stands up.
(21:24:16) >Marsuveus Dastro takes a seat.
(21:24:36) Vilthis telekenetically through his azure way potential lifts the Ynnwn up onto the beast of burden
(21:24:40) >Marsuveus Dastro stands up.
(21:25:08) Marsuveus's body is lifted by VIlthis' psychic potential
(21:25:52) Zjok leads the Rinak with his burdon on the the winch location
(21:25:58) Vilthis eases his concentration as he steadily lowers him on the rivnak before remarking to Zjok "Wait"
(21:26:22) Zjok halts
(21:26:28) Zjok says: What
(21:26:35) Vilthis says: Search him for remaining arsernals...I am not keen on surprises apart from my birthday.
(21:27:43) Marsuveus's belt only contains an empty beer mug, a few lockpicking tools, and an extra set of leather bracers
(21:27:57) Zjok carefully does a complete search of the limp body of Marsuveus and finds a small sack "Whats this" handing it to Vilthis
(21:28:27) Marsuveus's sack contains the lockpicking set, as well as the looted materials form Kauwela
(21:29:58) Vilthis receives the sack and rummages through the articles "They are distinctly familiar...The tavern wench?"
(21:30:28) Zjok looks at Vilthis "Should I proceed"
(21:30:57) Vilthis nods "Be careful, he has already demonstrated his cunning"
(21:31:32) Vilthis says: I shall take these to Kada El
(21:32:04) Zjok slowly looks over the bindings before proceeding to walk the rivnak to the winch carying Marsuveus
Marsuveus is taken to the House of Trayus' Headquarters, still unconscious as he is bound to a wall, in the dungeon of the house. The episode ends, Scipion and Vilthis struggling to understand their new captive, as he is doomed for either torture, or death at the hands of his captors, unless escape or rescue comes.
