Scions of the Wyldewood [Elesiy's disappearance]

[Kitiranna]

Elesiy moves around her shoppe collecting all the weapons and glyphs, and wraps them carefully in clean cloths.
Elesiy gathers up the bundles and places them carefully in the chest at the back of her shoppe, pulls out a good sturdy lock and locks the chest. She takes a last look around the shoppe, satisfied that all is secure she leaves to go home for the night.
Elesiy roots through her belt and gets out her key, unlocks the door and enters her place.
Elesiy enters her apartment and notices the note, reads the note. after a few moments she starts to cry, then she stiffens her back, quickly dawns her armour and daggers. She then locks the door and leaves Oja.
Elesiy takes a quick break at the rivers edge for a drink and to catch her breath. 
Elesiy gets up feeling a little refreshed, and continues to Hydlaa.
Elesiy sniffles as she speaks: Liera, quickly, I need 25 of your best potions.
Liera passes the potions across to the frazzled Dwarf.
Elesiy smiles at Liera: Thank you
Elesiy notices some robed figures in the woods, but in her haste to get to her destination she pays them no heed.
Thug 2 says: HALT!
Elesiy doesn't really hear the words, then three shadowy figures surround her.
Elesiy looks around startled
Thug 2 tackles elesiy
Elesiy falls, dropping her daggers
Thug 1 draws his sword
Elesiy says: whats going on?
Thug 2 says: Nicely done stalking here guys
Thug 3 pins Elesiy's arms from behind.
Thug 2 grabs Elesiy by one arm hoisting her up away from her daggers.
Thug 1 says: Pin her down!
Thug 2 helps in pinning her
Elesiy says: who are you
Thug 1 says: That... you will never know
Thug 2 says: shauddup!
Thug 2 grips Elesiy tighter
Elesiy struggles
Thug 1 grins and punches Elesiy in the face trying to knock her out
Thug 2 says: hit her with the butt of your sword, its harder
Elesiy swings her head back
Thug 1 growls "pin her to the floor"
Thug 2 holds Elesiy tighter
Thug 2 throws his sword to the ground and holds Elesiy's head back so she can't move her head
Elesiy struggles a bit more, to no avail.
Thug 3 binds a rope around Elesiy wrists.
Thug 1 leans over and swings at Elesiy with the sword hilt
Elesiy falls unconscious
Thug 2 grins. "Tie her legs up too
Thug 1 says: Ok.. tie her up.. lets get her out of here..
Thug 2 says: so she can't run
Thug 3 says: Do you thinks she faking?
Thug 3 ties up her legs
Thug 2 punches Elesiy in the jaw hard again
Thug 2 says: Don't think so
Thug 1 says: Now she isnt.
Elesiy's head rolls limply.
Thug 2 nods. "Shes out..."
Thug 1 says: Right. carry her.. lets go
Thug 2 picks eleisy up by her legs
Thug 2 says: get her arms Thug 3
Thug 3 grabs Elesiy by the arms.
Thug 1 says: lets go
Thug 2 says: lets move
Thug 1 leads the way
Thug 1 says: rest coming up...
Thug 2 tosses elesiy on the ground
Elesiy rolls to a thud
Thug 2 snickers
Thug 2 says: what if she wakes up and tries breaking those ropes on the sharp edges of these rocks?
Thug 1 throws a Ulber fur on Elesiy
Thug 2 says: pfft, thats not how you treat a lady, Boss
Thug 1 says: well. we will have to guard her.
Thug 2 grins
Thug 1 says: We will have to keep watch of her..
Thug 2 says: okay, no prob, our BASE is here.
Thug 1 says: just staying in here with her..
Thug 1 says: Shh you..
Thug 2 says: GAH!
Thug 2 says: Intruder!
Thug 1 says: Good..
Thug 2 growls
Thug 1 says: You... eagle eye..
Thug 1 says: you take the first watch...
Thug 2 nods and salutes. "Aye aye Sir!"
Thug 2 shouts: Boss! over here!
Thug 1 shouts: get out of here you little runt!
Thug 2 pulls out a mug of water and splashes it on elesiy's face. "Wake up dwarf!"
Elesiy sputters
Elesiy groans and rolls on her side
Thug 2 puts his mug away.
Elesiy groans again
Proglin while walking in the forest outside of Hydlaa notices a note on the ground. He bends down and picks the note
up, then reads it and puts it in his pack.

[Anfa]

[OOC I was asked to post the happenings within this rp..cheers]
*edit this is a very shortened version of different events happening around Hydlaa   

Anfa sat quietly, concerned about the long absence of Elesiy. No word or ramsom note had been sent to the Scion's on where their guild sister may be. Frustrated and beginning to feel desperate she send a small prayer to whatever gods may be listening...

[a young fenki new to our land enjoying the fire in the tavern]

Shahar was eating slowly as she contemplated the fire. Gasping she felt the "vision" claim her, an image rising up within the flames. The words flowed out of her as she was in the grip of the vision.
 "She who is lost can now be found...send the huntress to the darkened realm".
Shahar shuddered and collapsed haunted by the image of a Dwarfen Lady trapped and dieing.
She felt tears fall gentle reflecting the tears of the strange Lady,
 one word heard in the Lady's cries..
....."Proglin"

[a friend of the fenki]

Callysta growled knowing Shahar was upset but not knowing why. She prowled the streets of Hydlaa searching for her friend when at last she found her, althought the company Shahar was in, upset Callysta as well. "What is she doing with them??" Callysta snarls a curse and closes her eyes sending a summons for Shahar to come to her. Finally alone with Shahar, Callysta was able to find out about the Vision,  and recognized who Shahar had seen.
Callysta held Shahar reassuring her that all would be well and she knew who to find. "Go to sleep my friend, I will go and find the huntress...Kitiranna of the Scions of Wyldewood...I will tell her of your vision..."

[informing the scions]

Callysta ran to find Kitiranna. Running straight to Harnquist's Callysta was sure Kit would be found there working the forge. Callysta found Kitiranna and quickly explained the vision Shahar had and frowned at shahar's unknown place..this darkened realm.
"Kitiranna, Shahar has never been to the Outpost at the Bronze Doors. I am sure this is the area we can find Elesiy."
Nodding to herself Kitiranna remembers the clue the elders of the Wyldewood had given her when she sought their council.."Beware your brother with the bird's eye..."
Kitiranna could not see how the cryptic message could be of help..all her brother's were dead with the rest of her family...as far as she knew..none had survived.
Kitiranna shakes her head but goes to consult with Anfa. Perhaps she can make sense of all this...

[a search for clues]

Upon hearing of the vision Shahar had, and willing to take whatever possible clues she could get, Anfa raced to the military outpost at the bronze doors hoping to find some answers. As for Kitiranna's cryptic message from the elders she was baffled... Muttering under her breath as she ran the long road "darn Elders and their darn hints...can't just tell a person right out...nooooo...gotta be a darn lesson in everything..."
Upon reaching the Outpost Anfa begins to wander around searching the faces around her.
Suddenly a flash of green and a familiar crest catches her eye in the hand of Taemian Yangnk. Anfa grabs the cloak turning on the merchant snarling a question.." Taemian Yangnk where did you get that cloak?
Anfa recognized the cloak of Elesiy and quickly pulled her blades wanting answers. Elesiy would never have given up the cloak willingly, a gift from her guildmates.
Anfa growls low in her throat and gets very close and quiet with the merchant who looks frightened
 Anfa whispers fiercly rising her sword to the merchant's throat "who sold you this cloak little dwarf?"
Taemian babbled that he did not know the one who sold him the cloak but recognized the "gentleman" with the seller and quickly told Anfa the name.
Anfa grins coldly snatching the cloak and whispering a name "Kominus Raveneye"
Now the Scions had someone to find and ....talk to.
Quickly turning away from the merchant to head back to report to Sreamah, Anfa sees Eid and Gwinn walking up to her. Smiling despite her frustration Anfa hugs her two friends. She brings them up to speed with all that has been going on and with their assurances that they will keep an eye out for this Kominus Anfa set off to return to Hydlaa

[In discussion with how to precede]

Anfa sits next to Alliva discussing all she had found out from the Merchant..
Alliva says: he is well known yet they didnt give discription
Anfa says: he was having trouble speaking with my sword at his throat
Anfa grins sheepishly
Anfa says: I was a bit ..upset
Alliva shakes his head you should have got description out of him
Anfa sighs
Anfa says: I do not think he will talk to me again
Anfa looks up at Alliva with a speculative look

Happily Alliva has agreed to go out to the outpost to get more information out of the merchant...something a little more concrete on who this Kominus Raveneye is and where he can be found...

Anfa frowns over the list Alliva has given her making a face at the ingredients..."now that is going to be one funky potion, but if it makes him talk?"
Heading off to find the items Alliva needs she mutters to herself..."Has to be a merchant that can't "just disappear", darn I hate the hard way..."
Anfa shook her head willing to help Kitiranna anyway she can  "the Huntress must have a trail to follow" [side note- Jangeol actually ended up gathering most of the ingredients needed with help from others "thank you Knikolas "darn now I want to call you "knick knack"    anyway good job and thank you..continued update soon]

[think I covered most of it here, if I have forgotten anything someone let me know and thank you to those who lent their stories, hopefully I got them mostly right]
 

[Anfa]

[update as promised]

Anfa smiles to herself as she feel that some progress has been made in the search for Elesiy. Still disgusted with how she let her emotions ruin the first attempt to get information out of the merchant, she thanks whatever Gods may be listening for Kitiranna's success.
She goes over in her mind all that has happened in the last while...

[the little Fenki]

Shahar in a noble attempt to lend her strength to Elesiy to keep her alive long enough for the Scions to find her, put her ownself at risk. By creating a "vision-bond" with Elesiy [and this is just calling me to write a story about Shahar's gift...need to talk to them about it] that enabled her to send both thoughts and life energy through the link. It seems one as young as Shahar is unable to control the amount of energy being send and was draining herself to keep Elesiy alive.
Callysta gave it away, demanding Shahar break the link. Shahar refused not willing to leave Elesiy "all alone" again and without hope. This led Alliva, with the help of Laironie a crystalwarrior who has studied the dark way, to form a dark barrier around Shahar blocking all but a small amount of life energy which has been allowed to pass to keep both ladies alive. This was done in the tavern while Jangeo watched over the potion needed to make the merchant talk. As it stands now, Shahar has lost the ability to communicate with Elesiy but claims "the lady now knows they are searching for her." 
[thank you to all who were involved in this bit, the Scions didn't find out til later what was going on with this little Fenki]

[the merchant talks]
Alliva and Kitiranna sped to the outpost with the potion to get the information needed after Anfa screwed up. 
Upset over what she felt was a dishonourable act, Kitiranna went ahead with the plan and used the potion to drug the Merchant. Once the drug took effect he was more than willing to describe Kominus as a dark furred menki with red chested and black armed armor. Kitiranna than stuck around to make sure the merchant was okay until the drug wore off. He seemed quite content with his vague memories of a Pretty Fenki and an apparent hang over and quickly filled in the blanks of what must have happened and happily went off to tell his tale to the guards over a pint of ale.
 {with much blushing, Kitiranna would like everyone to know that Taemian Yangnk's story about the fenki the other night is not true..thank you} 

The Scions are now looking for anyone wandering around in red chested, black armed armor.

[Peacer]

Peacer stands in the tavern and hears the rumors about Elesiy from a distance and a second later standing in the sacred place of the guardians "Hmm, no one touches our ally without making us intefer" and pins up a note at their message board about all he had heard about Elesiy

[Anfa]

[continuing the update]

Anfa, Kitiranna and Alliva discuss all the clues they have found now.
It was known Elesiy was supposedly going to the face to meet her daughter [note Proglin found]
Elesiy is now known to be kidnapped and in the bd area.

Anfa frowns, "but how did she get from the face to the bronze doors?

It was quickly decided a more leisurely and attentive walk to the face was needed to search for clues. Kitiranna and Alliva went ahead with Anfa catching up to them as they paced the area around the crossroad outside Hydlaa.

As Anfa ran up Kitiranna held up a belt. "Elesiy's belt, I found it off to the side, and this is where Proglin had found the note."

After some investigation it was determined where the kidnappers must have hidden to catch Elesiy by surprise. Alliva was bothered by a strange scent he caught while investigating where one of the kidnappers must have waited.
It was quickly determined that a search of the bronze door area was needed.

Kitiranna says: now we need search parties i think
Anfa says: yes but it is big, swamps, caves where to start?
 Kitiranna says: that gonna take lots of people
Anfa says: most probably
Anfa starts to check off in her head who she could call on
Kitiranna says: so 2 teams?
Alliva says: no 3
Kitiranna says: ok
Anfa says: nice if we could just follow one of those red-chested wretches
Anfa laughs grimly
Kitiranna says: that would be nice
Kitiranna says: but do you think it would be that easy?
Anfa looks up and shakes her head
Anfa says: Not the way the Gods treat me...
Anfa laughs
 Kitiranna says: so we go back to hydlaa and get an army
Anfa says: a small army?
Anfa grins
Kitiranna grins
Kitiranna tells you: need a few days to get everyone together
Anfa says: Let's head back to Hydlaa, don't think we will find anything else here
Alliva says: ok
 Kitiranna says: yes boss

[so as it stands now the Scions will be calling on friends and allies and anyone willing to help to form search parties to search the BD area for Elesiy]

This is the announcement that will be posted around Hydlla and Oja as well as send to guilds within our alliance.

OOC: announcement

On Saturday Jan. 20th , 17:00 GMT those participating in the search for Elesiy are asked to appear just outside the BD load point. There, three search teams will be formed to be sent to different parts within the BD area to find Elesiy. The Scions welcome any who wish to help!!

[Kaerli]

Alas, Kaerli cannot make it [I have a meeting to go to...]

[Anfa]

hmmm [due to the difficulties Elesiy's player is having getting her ingame and playable we may need to postpone the searchparties..we will make a more official announcement tomorrow..her player has not given up yet..lol]

Cheers

[Anfa]

So It's Officiail.. [Elesiy has made it in and is movable Yah!!  ]

Today Jan 20th at 17:00 GMT the Scions will be heading to the BD area to search for their missing Guildmate and Proglin's Wife Elesiy. Any who wish to help in the search can meet us at the load point just before entering the BD area.

Cheers

[Anfa]

[As promised the conclusion as it happened, sorry for the delay, had logs to assemble]

Part one..searchers gather
[rescue day...from Kitiranna]

Anfa collapses wheezing
Kitiranna says: hiya boss
Anfa says: Ohhh I have to cut back on the beer...
Huor says: Greetings
Huor smiles
Kitiranna hugs Anfa
Panthra hands panting anfa some water
Anfa says: -pant, pant- "hye there"
Kitiranna hugs Anfa again for Verlikchte
Anfa smiles
Anfa says: Good to see you Huor
Kitiranna says: Verlikchte is on her way here asked if we could wait for her
Anfa nods happy to rest
Huor nods with a smile "It's a pleasure to help Milady"
Anfa says: so I hear you have some new information Kit
Kitiranna says: while hanging out at Harn's i was told Elesiy was seen being
brought into a cave in the bd area
Anfa nods thoughtfully
Anfa says: That makes sense
Huor says: aha
Anfa says: Would be hard to hide her in a more populated area like the
outpost
Anfa nods at the weapons
Kitiranna says: true
Anfa says: I think that is a very sensible idea Kitiranna
Anfa says: we can only assume that those who have her will not give her up
willingly

A discussion followed as they waited for others to arrive. Unable to dismiss the mines as a possibility, it was decided that it would be searched first to make sure Elesiy was not there before proceeding to another cave Anfa knew of. The possibility of splitting into two groups was discussed with all first meeting up at the mines.

Anfa says: i am sure if you proceed south along the cliff wall from the
mines you will find the other cave
Pojo draws his short swords
Kitiranna says: remember we give them the option of surrender first if they
dont take it subdue them so they can be brought to trial
Huor nods "We'll keep our eyes open"
Anfa says: Lets go, to the mines
Everyone agrees to stay to gether and head to the mines then this other cave
if need be, and run in search of Elesiy

Unknown to the group a late arrival tries to catch up and goes to the
campfire.
When he doesnt find everyone he starts searching for the group again and stumbles apon a cave.

[Special thanks to the "Felecitious Fenkis","Survivors of Vaern" and the "Plakkem Hverrjanor" for helping us Scions find Elesiy. Divided it up into two posts due to the length.]

[Anfa]

Part Two..Our Hero 

[From Elesiy "darn we missed the rescue.. " edited a bit..]

A Dermorian wanders into the cave, cautiously looking around every rock in
the dark cave. He hears faint sounds of muffled grunts and whimpers, and
laboured breath. He enters around another turn and emerges from between some
boulders that were much bigger than him. Then notices a Kran standing before
him.
Neleor says: halt, what are you doing here?
Granden says: who are you?
Neleor says: I am Neleor
Granden raises his shield.
Neleor readies his daggers
Granden says: Step aside!
Neleor says: Not going to happen.
Granden says: Kran... you don't want to do this
Granden pulls out a second sword
Neleor says: I cannot allow you to enter
Elesiy makes another muffled groan
Granden hears a noise. "Who else is in here?"
Neleor grins: No one
Granden says: Hmmm, I don't believe you, allow me to search the cave...
Neleor stands as tall as he can: No! Leave or things will get hairy.
Granden says: You must have Elesiy, my leader's wife... well one of my
leaders, let me search or I WILL make things hairy!
Elesiy moans
Granden coughs
Neleor then lunges at Granden, slicing with his stolen daggers. He missed,
Granden skillfully dodges the attack, the two combatants circled in the
confined space of the cave. Granden takes a swing as Neleor trips, the blow
rings off Neleors Black and red chain armour. Neleor screams "RRRRAAAHHH!!"
He takes another daring slash, knowing he is out classed at this point any
damage before he gets captured would make him happy now. Granden takes
another skillfull slash at Neleor, this time luck didn't save him, the sword
finds a weakpoint in the fancy armour dropping the Kran to his knees, Neleor
takes one last slash, but Granden was faster and knocked Neleor out,

Granden drops to one knee, holds his side as he looks around the dark cave.
Elesiy eyes flash with relief at the sight of the Dermorian.
Elesiy says: mmff!!
Granden says: Mrs. Unsir?
Elesiy lies bound and gaged on the floor.
Elesiy says: MMMMFFF!!
Granden spots the bound up dwarf
Granden says: Mrs Unsir!
Granden tries cutting the bonds with his gladius. They slice easily.
Elesiy rubs her wrists, then removes the gag: Thank you
Granden says: Are there any others?
Elesiy says: no they all left... to get supplies, I guess.
Granden says: alright, lets get you out of here before they come back! Looks
at the unconscious Kran.
Granden says: can you walk?
Elesiy tries to stand, stumbles and grabs Granden's arm, then steadies
herself: I think so.
Elesiy continues to hold Granden's sleave.
Granden says: alright, lets go.
Granden says: lets head to the pool close to the bridge to the bronze doors
Elesiy says: ok
As they arrive at the clearing they are met by a large group. Granden pants,
Elesiy puffs as she sits down heavily on the ground.
Ralleyon says: By Laaanx!
Silavur says: Granden!
Anfa puts away her weapons and grabs Elesiy in a hug
Kitiranna hugs Elesiy tightly
Elesiy smiles at all the people: Thank you.
Einnol smiles.
Elesiy says: hi Anfa
Anfa says: Are you well?
Einnol bows "Tis good to see you well, Lady Unsir."
Elesiy says: EINNOL!!
Granden says: I was lucky, there was but one guard...
Elesiy looks very tired
Einnol sheathes his weapons.
Kitiranna says: you should have been with the rest of us
Granden says: I got lost...
Elesiy looks at Kitiranna
Ralleyon puts his weapins away
Ralleyon says: 'tis an honour to meet you milady
Elesiy hugs Kitiranna
Kitiranna hugs Elesiy
Ralleyon says: What happened?
Mordaan smiles
Ralleyon says: I sensed danger
Anfa says: Elesiy, forgive us for not coming sooner, we did not know you
were in danger
Kitiranna says: we missed you sister
Elesiy says: how did you learn where i was?
Kitiranna says: I did my best to find out what happened
Anfa says: What happened Elesiy???
Elesiy looks at Anfa: It, it was my.....
Elesiy's eyes start to tear up
Huor turns towards Granden and whispers "Was Lady Panthra with you"
Granden raises a brow. "Panthra?.... can't say I was accompanied, I was
walking along looking for the group, you guys ran ahead of me, I thought the
camp site might be your location, but no one was there at that time, so I
wandered around until i found a cave."
Anfa frowns
Kitiranna pats Elesiy back
Anfa says: You know your kidnapper Elesiy?
Einnol looks at Elesiy with concern.
Kitiranna says: take your time.
Elesiy says: No, only who hiered them.
Anfa growls
Huor nods to Granden
Anfa looks over and smiles at Granden,"Perhaps the otherwise useless Gods
were actually helpful.."
Granden says: well if it means anything, a Ylian, when I came here told me
"Laanx bless you." He throws his head back laughing.
Elesiy says: I never thought i would see her...
Anfa says: See who Elesiy?
Anfa looks confused
Elesiy says: my..
Elesiy says: my daughter......
Elesiy sobs on Anfa's ahoulder
Einnol's eyebrows jump up.
Anfa blinks and opens her mouth.
Einnol says: Daughter?!
Mordaan looks sad
Anfa holds Elesiy in shock
Einnol says: You mean ...
Einnol stands with his jaw open.
Elesiy says: I thought I had escaped that life...
Eldkin bows
Huor smiles to elesiy "My name is huor, a good friend of sir Proglin. Glad
that you are safe and sound"
Anfa nods at Eldkin still not sure what she is hearing
Elesiy says: have you seen my husband?
Huor says: I'm affraid not Milady.
Kitiranna says: he been very worried about you.
Elesiy wipes her eyes, so she can see who is talking to her.
Einnol says: Aye. I saw him a few days ago.
Anfa whispers "We will send a message to him, do not worry Elesiy"
Kitiranna says: shall we take you to Hydlaa Elesiy?
Huor bows to everyone "Was a pleasure to help."
Elesiy says: can.. can we please.
Anfa says: Can anyone spare some healing energy for Elesiy?
Huor says: Hope to see you all soon.
Ralleyon casts life infusion.
Anfa says: It is a long journey home.
Kitiranna says: I can.
Mordaan steps forward.
Elesiy says: I am just hungry and thirsty.
Elesiy looks a little healthier.
Huor smiles and put down a pie.
Anfa looks in her bag for food other than the smelly fish.
Huor points at he pie "Have some of this Milady."
Anfa smiles a thanks to Huor.
Elesiy takes the pie and devours it.
Elesiy says: thank you Huor
Kitiranna hands Elesiy some ale
Huor smiles "My pleasure."
Silavur quietly bows out and lets those who know her tend to Elesiy.
Elesiy smiles and downs the ale in 2 swallows
Huor waves
Anfa nods a thanks at Silavur.
Granden sighs and walks off.
Elesiy says: thank you everyone
Kitiranna says: Feeling a little better now sis?
Elesiy says: yes
Ralleyon bows
Anfa says: Huor, once this is over, the Scions owe a great debt to your
guildmate.
Anfa nods at the retreating Granden
