Yliakum Journeys (vol.1)
« on: June 27, 2006, 07:57:03 pm »
Eolius came up with an idea and we are currently trying it out on the Protectors site. I asked permission if maybe I could try it here on the main PS forums, as I think with the server down this would be the perfect opportunity. I have posted the link to the story on the Protectors site for all to view.

http://ugo.sinet.it/protectors/index.php/Forum/AJourneyThroughTheStoneLabyrinth

Location and setting: There has been an annoucment posted in the Hydlaa tavern for all citizens of Yliakum to join in on a public camping trip. During that time we shall do many things, like hunt together and treasure hunt. Really anything goes.

Rules:
(1) Use your imagination. Anything goes really.
(2) Please don't make super huge long posts. Remember you are a character in the story, not the story itself. This forum "Game" is not for people who like to hog the spot light.
(3) Do NOT make a post that only you can carry on with. People must be able to respond and react. If this indeed does happen I will ask for the post to be deleted. This is meant for all of us to have fun.
(4) This is all IC, PLEASE no OOC comments in this thread. If we need to discuss the story and where it is going, another thread can be made for the OOC suggestions and comments.

OOC thread: http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=23936.0

Parchment on the tavern wall reads: To all citizens of Yliakum, I want to invite you on a camping trip to explore the wilds, treasure hunt and hunt wild beasts you normally wouldn't on your own. This trip will be most exciting and dangerous. It is a chance to meet new people and get to know the land and what wonders and secrets that it holds. I shall be standing at the front gates of Hydlaa with my supply cart on the seveth setting of the crystal, early morn. All are welcome to join. 


                                        ~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~

Zorbels stands ready and excited at the thought of adventure and danger. "I truly hope many will show up for this adventure!" She goes over her supplies for the fifth time making sure she hasn't over looked anything. She pulls the string on the bag shut and sighs satisfied she has all she needs for this trip. "Well now all there is to do is wait and see who show's up." She settles down by the wagons wheel and uses it to support her back. Zorbels pulls out her sketch book and begins to sketch the front gates of Hydlaa while waiting for others who maybe interested in joining in on the trip. She hears a faint shuffling of foot steps and looks up to see who it is but is blinded by the brightness of the day. "Who goes there?"

Satayne approaches Zorbels and the wagon with a pack slung over his back. He grins at Zorbels. "You didn't think I was going to let you go without me did you?"

Zorbels jumps up and hugs Satayne happily. "Oh I am glad you could join! I know it is going to be fun. Just waiting for others to show up. Come and sit with me, I have some ale in my back pack and fresh pie! I plan on waiting about an hour for others to show before we continue on this adventure."

Easton reads the sign posted on a tree in the plaza. He thinks to himself I could go for some adventure right about now. After heading to his guildhouse to relay the message to all of his members, he heads towards the wagon where he sees two familiar figures.
"Well, if it isn't the two lovliest Enkis in all of Yliakum! Anyone else coming along that you know? A few of the Survivors should be joining us soon." Easton then throws his pack in the back of the wagon and sits next to his enki friends waiting for his friends to come.

Hokinon walks purposefully towards the wagon and the Enkidukai couple and Ylian waiting by the gate, he bows deeply "Lady Zorbels I will join you if that is alright?" and turning to Satayne and Easton nods "Gentlemen" he then moves to stand a little apart a smile on his face that doesn't quite reach the coldness of his eyes......

[ooc]hmm. let's bring out one of my alt chars for this. i think, little miss tovera should have some fun.

[ic]
a young fenki walks up, probably not much more then thirteen. her clothes are clean, but worn. her arms up to her elbows are a light grey in contrast to the darker shades of her fur. she has a bundle slung on her back. she places it on the ground near the wagon.

"umm. this is where the campers are gathering? i'm tovera. i'm looking to sign up."
may laanx frighten the shadow from my path.
hardly because the shadow built the lexx.
the shadow will frighten laanx from my path.

Karyuu makes her way down from the second story of the tavern, still rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She stops by the bar, pondering for a few seconds over the prospect of getting a drink, then decides against it and steps out into the air. The air already has enough liquid. She turns back to survey the tavern, feeling unusually slow and lazy and undecided about the day, when the pinned parchment catches her eye. Karyuu steps closer and skims through the words, until the world seems to rush and roar away upon seeing three words: "...hunt wild beasts..."

She rubs her chin as the world rushes back into her awareness. The prospect of hunting with a group again... An endeavor worth pursuing, especially with nothing else to claim the day. A brisk nod and a run back into the tavern reunites her with her hunting spear, and she is off, her body already yearning for the run. She needs nothing else. As Karyuu approaches the gates and notices the steadily growing group, she pauses. Never good at making conversations... Nevertheless, she then picks up her pace and raises an arm in greeting.
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

"Easton! Hokinon! So glad you could join!" Zorbels offers some ale and pie to the two gentlemen. "Please dig in, I made the pie myself." Zorbels turns to see a young fenki walking up to the group. "Hello my name is Zorbels and it is a pleasure to meet you Tovera. Yes this is the group you are looking for. Welcome aboard. Just throw your supplies in the supply cart if you do not wish to carry them." she smiles humbly at the fenki. Zorbels notices movement at the front gate and see's another familiar face. "Well, well, look what lannx dragged in ... a Karyuu! Welcome. I am so glad you could join!." Zorbels grins from ear to ear.

Farren strolls by when he sees the notice at the tavern and says to himself, "Hmmm, now this could be interesting." Having his supplies with him at all times and therefore not needing to pack, he hurries to Zorbels' wagon. "Well met all!" he exclaims as he approaches, his perpetual warm smile on his face, the ever-showing look of thought on his face. Right now his thoughts are of adventure.

"Hi everyone," Siteri says as she joins the group. "I saw your poster and I knew there was no way I was going to miss this! Never!"

Easton takes a small sliver of pie from Zorbels, "Thanks Zorbels! So when do we get a move on anyways?". Before Zorbels can answer Easton looks around to see many familiar faces and some new ones as well. "Greetings everone!" He says as he smiles and waves...

Karyuu grins back at Zorbels, "Had Laanx dragged me here, I doubt I would be in as fine a condition. Nice to see you," she turns to the rest of the group, "all of you." Her gaze travels from face to face as her awareness tunes in to their heartbeats, marking their distinct patterns in her memory should something happen in the wild - such as lost party members.

Her eyes then turn to the supply wagon, and she idly scratches an ear. "Are we going to be taking turns as pack animals?" she asks with another grin.
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

tovera looks around at the assembling yliaki. she chews on a thin slice of pie thoughtfully. "all of these yliaki are heros, ones that stories are told about," she thinks to her self. "i'm here to learn what i need to." she swallows the mouthfull of pie. "but, perhaps i could have chosen a less famous group to do it with."

she waves back. "hi, i'm tovera."

may laanx frighten the shadow from my path.
hardly because the shadow built the lexx.
the shadow will frighten laanx from my path.

Farren leans back against the wagon, arms crossed, looking around at all the people coming to join the trip. This will be possibly the biggest group of people Farren has been out with since the time he had taken all of the available Guild Knights out on a hunt. Perhaps it is time for the reclusive ranger to get a bit more social. But he'll let others start the conversation, for now at least.

Hokinon declines the offer of the pie "perhaps I'll try the pie later ma'am but thanks for the ale" he says softly as he takes a small sip, and nodding a welcome to  Karyuu as she arrives spear in hand, checks his pack for the dozenth time that morning and watches from his position on the edge as the group slowly grows in number....
