The Adventure to Kadaikos

[Toru]

(OOC:where did the dark elves come from? I am sooo confused... and larien ...   ... ... .. lol now we can die and not worry about a thing! hehe)

Toru looks around, \"I smell something strange here\", he exclames as he leaps out of his chair.  Bill and larien quickly get up also.  \"Haha, that\'s just what I was cooking, haha\" Darien says.

At that moment the gaint troll jumps in front of us, startling Toru and Larien as they stumble; almost falling down.  Larien strings three arrows and shoots the Troll as it swung Toru aside.  Hitting it in it\'s neck and forehead, the Troll falls down.  \"Increadible!\" Bill exclames as he watched the troll as it layed there.

\"What happened?\" Larien exclames, \" didn\'t we kill it?\".  \"There are many in these parts\" Darien says, \"and don\'t worry, you took this one down easily\".  At that moment Bill was try to lift up Toru, \"Hey! Toru!... uh oh, did you say not to worry about something Darien?\" Bill tells Darien.  At that moment Toru startles and gets up, while Larien watched the Troll get up also.  Toru then said \"Dwinshij ehl gundim!\" and the troll was lifted off the ground with a black and purple aura and thrown down the cliff.

\"Why\'d you do that?\" Bill says. \"The Enemy will find us now!\" Larien follows.  \"I, I didn\'t mean to, somehow I felt powerful, maybe the rubies have increased my magical power?\" Toru says.  \"BUt you don\'t have them anymore!?\" Bill exclames.  \"What rubies?\" Larien says.
Bill and Toru turn around and look at Larien and explain the two rubies found ealier.  \"Hmm, must be 2 of the eight stones that are said to bring back peace throughout the land... but no... it\'s not possible.\" Larien says.  \"You couldn\'t have found one on a horse... unless.. I must think!\" Larien then leaves the area and walks over to the balcony looking down below at where the Troll was, but it seemed to have rolled off so far that it was seen no more.

OOC: WTF?!

The troll is dead, so no more troll. Besides, it was hidden in a trap door at the floor of a large room that was in a locked door that was opened by Toru,Larien, and Bill. The door led to the back room of Kada-El\'s bar. Its a bar, so why would Dorian be cooking anything? Its not his place, so he is gonna be eating some local finger foods or drinking some sort of ale. Toru found the jewels, met up with me, and then gave the jewels to the old man.

Any chance we can start over, because I worked pretty hard on that last part and your parts made the story all strange and sort of didn\'t make sense...

If anyone is getting either annoyed of my long parts, taking other people\'s parts, or just pissing you off, tell me so I can know if I should end my part in this story, it would be fairly easy to do if that is what yall want.

[Dwinney]

OOC: Whoa! No, Bill I\'m sure we don\'t want you to end your part in the story.
Sorry if my part sucks, but I only wanted to have someone die as a sort of twist in the story, as I said we could add some scientific nonsense to revive the dead character. I just thought it would add a certain romanctism by letting one character die, then reviving him. If you dont want that, I can always take it off........

(the dying part, if you want, could be at the near end of the story, when we\'re fighting the major enemy, the Ka-Ching-Nata or something.)

[Bill]

OOC:[EDIT] Whoah, hope you did not read what I just said Dwinney, because for some reason I said your post sucked, and it didn\'t. Ok well, I was sorta talking about Toru\'s post. It sorta screwed things up.

And please do not take Eruin\'s post seriously because he obviously is unaware of the happenings.

[eruinn]

well sorry! ;(

[Bill]

OOC: I did not mean to offend you, I was just saying that you are unaware of some of the things.

If you had read what we all have written, you would know that evil elves are not the problem, and that that has nothing to do with the whole problem. The problem is the emporer Ka-Ching-Nata of Kadaikos who is mistreating his people. He is also in search of \"Laanx\'s Power\" which was locked in a secluded vault that can only be opened with a certain mark that happens to be on Toru\'s hand. Its on his hand because Dorian, his father, over saw the making of(and was the actual emporer until Ka-Ching-Nata) the vault until Ka-Ching-Nata tried to kill him. He used a blade so scratch the mark off (not as in using water to take off a temp. tattoo, its as in ripping your skin off to not let them get the key). Ka-Ching-Nata never found him but said he was dead. Dorian has now met with Toru, myself, and Larien (or Dwinney). We need the power of Laanx to destroy Ka-Ching-Nata and bring peace to the kingdom of Kadaikos, and Toru is a vital key to this because he is the last person with the mark since his father was forced to get rid of his \"key\".

Whitti was hurt during the horse race at the beginning of the story, and an old man took him in. Whitti said he would do his own tale. You can join us saying that you have heard of our journey and wish to join us, but it is impossible and not to your part to be talking to Whitti. He is not anywhere near us.

[Dwinney]

Thanks Bill!

[Kada-El]

- Kada-El descends the stairs of the BBB, she immediately heads for the gathered group. One by one they fall silent as her striking elven beauty catches their eye.....

?Good morning gentlemen, I trust you slept well. You will need all of your strength, Dorian tells me the road ahead is long and the task great.

As much as I long for it, I regret I am unable to accompany you on this important quest. Matters beyond my control make it necessary for me to follow a different path and remain here at this time.

There may be a way in which I can offer some assistance to you though. The roads ahead are dangerous and you will encounter many obstacles. Please take this locket with you on your journey.?

- Kada smiles a knowing mischievous smile, which lights up her whole face, as she passes an ornate silver locket to Bill.

?In my *ahem* less reputable past, in my rebellious youth, I was a member of a band of renegade elven thieves known as the Azrach?Tar, they occupy the lands ahead, if you should encounter them or are in need of an expert in stealth, lockpicking or just accessing places where you shouldn?t be, show their leader this locket, they may help.....if they remember me. On the other hand they may slice your throats while you sleep for a few meager possessions ? be on your guard and I?m sure your wits will see you through.?

- Looking into the eyes of each member of the party in turn, it almost feels as if she is looking into your very souls. Lastly she looks over to Toru.

?Keep this one safe,\' she says to the rest of the group.  \'The very fate of all races could rest on his shoulders.?

(Whispers to Bill ? ?He seems a little confused, you haven?t been letting him eat the fungus that grows in the depth of the caverns have you??)

?I wish you good fortune on your quest, know that my heart goes with you.....?

- With that Kada turns and exists the room.


[OOC] ? Maybe you guys would benefit from a GM/DM who could drive the plot without leading characters, just explains outcomes and plot. Then you would be able to concentrate on your characters without worrying about plot driving. Good luck

[Bill]

[OOC] Yeah but I like to write stories. You cracked me up with that \"surprises them with her elven beauty\". lololol. THIS IS A NOTICE TO EVERYONE READING THIS STORY...... I am now changing the emporers name. Ka-Ching-Nata is now Twauron. Ka-Ching-Nata is just stupid. Please remember this from now on.

Kada-El waves a small good-bye and goes to the counter and picks up a tray with some fresh soup and tea on it. She walks up stairs, and Dorian comes down too. Dorian stops by Kada-El and whispers something in her long, pointy ears. She giggles and climbs the stairs, and Dorian descendes them. He is not as happy now as he comes to the group.

Toru is staring at his birth mark, Larien is thinking hard, blue sparks shooting from his finger tips every once in a while, and Bill sits in his brown robe, sword at his side, hood over his head, sipping on some tea. Bill\'s head barely moves, but his eyes move upwards and make contact with Dorian. Dorian looks very nervous, and heaves a heavy sigh. \"They are coming, aren\'t they Dor...Kifi?\", asks Bill. \"Why do you ask questions in which you already know the answer?\", says Dorian, his face still looking serious. \"How close are they?\", asks Bill. \"Close, very close. About 10 miles from the town of BradenBurry which is about 4 miles away. So an estimated 15 miles I would say\", says Dorian.

Bill sips again from his cup. \"Still the Daktreme?\", asks Bill, who is now looking cautiously out the window of the bar. \"Let me tell you Bill, the Daktreme are more of what you could call generals of Twauron\'s army. To be sending the Daktreme to yall so early is frightening, yet slightly comforting at the same time. They know who you descend from and know that you each hold emmense power. This shows that they will not fight easily, and that when you get in a fight, its going to be a big one\", says Dorian. \"Interesting, but you still didn\'t answer my question\", said Bill, sipping again from his tea. \"Ah yes, sorry about that. About 5 Daktreme are leading about 500 orcs. Or rather orc-trolls. About half the size of trolls, but are technically orcs. Like I said, no battle is going to be small\", said Dorian, now also looking at the window.

Bill heaved another sigh. Toru was now listening to Dorian, and shaking his had. \"Damn them\", he said, and stood up and banged his hand on the table, \"DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!\" Everyone gasped and turnd around. Larien put his hand on Toru\'s shoulder and pushed him down, telling everyone sorry and that he had had a bit too many drinks. \"Are you coming with us\", asked Larien, hand still on Toru\'s shoulder. \"Yes, but not for long. I have a friend who shall be meeting me. He might be able to help us. He is a strong warrior, but an even stronger mage\", said Dorian.

\"Well anyways\", said Dorian, \"I think yall should pack, now. We will be leaving in about 5 minutes.\" Bill swung a satchel over his head and pushed it too his side. \"My clothes, money, a few spells written down. They seem to slip my memory every once in a while. And the ingriediants for a potion to help our health if we are in need\", he said, never letting his eyes move from the window, and still sipping his tea. \"Same here\", said Toru, \"I\'m packed.\" \"Dastroofa dakroota\", said Larien. A bag appeard in his hand, and he forced a small smile.

They stood up and Bill lifted his cup to his lips and tilted his head back to get the last sips of his tea. Suddenly a whistling sound came from nowhere and barely missed Bill\'s head. Kada-El was standing at the top of the stairs with a bow in her hand.

\"What the hell was that for?\", shouted Toru. \"There was a man about to kill me, or rather rob then kill me\", said Bill, \"I was about to get him Kada-El, you take the fun out of surprise.\" Kada-El made a serious face and lowered her bow. \"Surprise is nothing if your dead\", she said. \"Help is not evil, just helpful\", she said and giggled softly. Bill smiled and they left the bar. Bill pocketed the money that the dead thief had and Kada-El dropped the body outside and waved good-bye as the group loaded their belongings onto their horses and road off.

[Toru]

OOC

Sorry about all that guys, I won\'t take anymore mushrooms from the caves :-( LoL.

Bill, I am sorry, but please don\'t get so angry! But it is good you straightned everything out. I alos said that the gems gave me strange power... even thought they are gone from me now, the power still lingers... can I go on with that idea? or should I just drop it?

and also, Keldain, my friend who is a increadibly roleplayer wants to join, maybe he can be Demorains friend who will join us later?  Magic is Keldains lane.
(He always is a mage)

well I would like Bill to get us into a situation soon, and then i will be able to get typing again! LoL, I just don\'t know what should happen now.

/OOC

[Bill]

[OOC] I\'m sorry man. I have been sick with a kind of flu and I have that whole \"depresion\" part of the sickness where you just don\'t like everything and just linger around all day. Lets just start from my post, and go from there.

Dorian has told us that the Daktreme are leading a large army of orcish half trolls towards us. They approximately 15 miles away which means we have no time. Dorian will assist us on our way to Kadaikos, but soon he must go and consult a friend on what to do. And don\'t worry, I am going to do a situation. And of course your friend can join, I am going to get him to meet us in this post, so this will not have much of the situation, and I cannot describe him(as in the way he really is) because he must do that himself.



We galloped on for two days straight. Dorian left after only the first night but said he would be back after he consulted his friend. He also said he would meet us at DarenKas, our safe point in which Bill\'s dwarven friends were ready to guard us because they knew of the happenings on Kadaikos and feard that Twauron may come for them next. We were very hungry, but we had about 10 golden circles after we pooled our money together. This was enough for a nights stay at an inn and a good dinner.

We galloped on to the down of Kadroosh, which was really a small village with a town hall, a small neighborhood of about 20 families, an inn and a bar, and a pawn shop. We tied our horses up in an alley alongside the inn. We went inside and rented a room with three beds. We then went to a small restaurant inside and had some porage to eat, for we were very cold too. We bought some ales and sipped on them until Larien noticed someone.

\"Bill\", Larien whispered, \"Don\'t look now, but that Demorian over there \'as been starin\' at Toru for quite some time. Toru was knawing on a block of cheese when he heard what Larien said. He slowly moved his eyes over to the man sitting in the corner. He was surely a Demorian because of his pointed ears. He sipped on some ale and just staired. As Toru raised his hand to scratch his cheek, Larien to clearly see the man\'s eyes widen. Suddenly the man\'s head shot up. He turned around to the window behind him and and stood quickly up. He walked over to us.

\"Quickly, come with me, they have found you. There is no time, you must come\", said the man. Toru got up and motion to the others to follow. The man lead them into a back room and went to a desk connected to the wal. He pulled on the end of the desk and a passage way under the desk flopped open. They crawled threw and the man secured it once again. He then ran over to a bed in the corner and twisted a knob on one of the bed posts. The pushed into the wall and the man motioned for them to follow. They were outside, and once they were all out the bed slided quickly back into place.

Their horses were already ready, and each had a dagger made of Ragof, a fine and hard metal, tied onto each. They threw their belongings on and followed the man.


\"I am sorry that I have not been able to introduce myself. Leading you this way may not have made much sense, but actually if you had stayed their you would be dead in about 10 minutes. They galloped threw a small prarie and neared a river. \"My name is Keldain. Just so you know I dabble in magic, so if you need some magical help just call me\", said Keldain. \"A few of us bar owners have been looking out for ya. Myself included, but I just help clean up every once in a while. Kada-El \'as been helpin\' also. We and Dorian have been helping you and making sure you are safe. It was obvious you would stay at our inns when you had to come to our towns after Dorian led you to us, and that we are the only inns in our town. But anyways, I am leading you to my small boat who I call Mardoka. She is a very sea worthy vessel so no need to be alarmed. We will be traveling down the Barfod River were we will meet Dorian at an abandonded farm. We will get there in about 4 days\", said Keldain. \"Ok then, we\'ve got a plan!\", said Larien.

They galloped over to the river edge, and suddenly they heard screams. They turned back and saw the Daktreme on their horses. Keldain\'s eyes widened and he picked up his belongings from his horses and held them under his arm. As he neard the boat he flung himself off his horse and onto the relatively large row boat. He cut the ropes on the boat and stuck a stick into the dock to keep from floating away.

The others neared him and jumped onto the boat. Toru\'s horse was getting slightly shaken a few yards from the boat. He patted his horse and grabbed his belongings and ran towards the boat, the Daktreme in pursuit. He ran as hard as he could, and Keldain pushed away from the dock. He drifted slowly out and yelled for Toru to jump. He reached the edge and lept into the air. He soared high and with a loud thud, slammed into the deck of the boat and they sailed off. The Daktreme stood at the river\'s edge, staring at them with under their black cloaks.

[eruinn]

ooc:this sounds like lord of the rings

[Bill]

Yeah I got a few things from it. But the whole plot is nothing like Lord of the Rings. So whatever.

[eruinn]

umm.. what does ooc stand for anyway?

[Dwinney]

ooc: Cool, we now have a mage I guess I\'ll still continue with Larien as a fighter mage, but I think he should concentrate more on healing spells and fighting from now on. (that is, if Keldain\'s going to be a permanent char)
OOC means Out of Character

The Daktreme stood staring as if entranced for several moments, then turned and galloped away. Larien knew they were probably going back to report to the Twauron. Anyhow, they were safe. For now at least....

Larien turned back and saw Bill conversing with Keldain and Toru. They seemed happy as they laughed and joked, and in order not to interrupt, Larien simply found a place on a chair and sat down.

Several minutes later, he got up and went to the deck. The Mardoka was indeed a fine boat. Resting his arms on the cool metal railing, he stared out at the blue, boundless sea which by now covered them at all sides. A gentle breeze gusted past, and he sighed contentedly. Out of the blue, the boat started to rock. Larien\'s head snapped up in surprise. He saw that the once calm sea was now rough, with enormous waves.

What the.......? he thought. Just then, a huge wave rocked the boat tumultously. Larien balanced precariously for a moment, then stumbled, falling over and crushing one of his delicate wings. At that very moment, his sharp eyes caught sight of a dark, gaping hole far in the distance. It was approaching them at an incredible speed! He felt a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach suddenly, as if something very, very bad was going to happen. Ignoring it, he rushed in to warn the others...

ooc: Since Larien\'s grandfather, Exeter, had mild psychic powers, Larien should have inherited them from him....
Whitti, you there? About time you added something to your story....
