The Abduction and Death of Emora

A young demorian woman is wandering through the Laanx dungeon all alone. Little does the know, the wandering grendols and thugs are the lesser of the many dangers in store. A diaboli wearing a strange mask and a dark cloak follows her closely - synchronizing his footsteps with hers.

(00:43:23) Outlaw1 notices a young, beautiful demorian girl with brown curly hair and sneaks behindher (00:43:53) Outlaw1 says: He follows her from a safe distance stepping gingerly (00:44:12) Emora's ears twitch a little at the sound, but she's too nervous to find her way out to notice anything. (00:45:59) Outlaw1 peeks around a corner breathing slowly as he creeps up (00:46:33) Auctioneer reaches out to grab hold of Watcher (00:46:53) Outlaw1 runs down the spiral stairs on the tips of his toes careful not to make a sound (00:47:57) Outlaw1 creeps though a passageway and notices the girl (00:48:45) Emora stops and looks down, frowning when she realizes the road only leads deeper into the cave. (00:49:21) Outlaw1 creeps up behind Emaros and attempts to put his hand over her mouth from behind. (00:50:20) Emora eyes widen and she automatically presses back against Outlaw1, trying to get away from the hand and the cliff. 'Wha!!!?' (00:51:10) Auctioneer glances down the hall watching for anyone (00:51:18) Outlaw1 grits his teeth and grabs Emora's head tightly. He makes an attempt to bash her head into a nearby boulder. (00:52:03) Watcher peers out, then back, still slightly mystified "uh...whats he doin..?" (00:52:23) Auctioneer reaches out to grab hold of Watcher and pull him aside (00:53:06) Emora hands reach up to get the arms away from her head, panicking. She cries out when she hits the boulder, hard. And then all became black.

What to do with a fresh Demorian ?

(00:53:33) Watcher looks at Auctioneer questioningly then turns in surprise to Emora "hey! you knocked her out!"
(00:53:42) Auctioneer chuckles and forgets about Watcher, moving over to Outlaw1
(00:53:47) Outlaw1 feels Emora's body go lime and fall. Quickly, he checks her to see if she has a pulse.
(00:53:56) Watcher says: Wow, nice one.
(00:54:13) Watcher sdmiringly looks the scene over
(00:54:25) Auctioneer grins as he reaches in his sack and digs around for a moment
(00:54:39) Outlaw1 looks at Auctioneer "Hold on, Just want to make sure its still alive"
(00:54:58) Outlaw1 says: "She has a pulse!"
(00:55:02) Watcher says: What are you planning on doing, anyways?
(00:55:23) Outlaw1 drags Emora towards a hook on the wall.
(00:55:33) Outlaw1 says: "Who has the rope ? "
(00:55:45) Watcher says: Um, I have no rope.
(00:55:45) Auctioneer looks to Watcher and snap "We are having a bit of fun!"
(00:56:06) Auctioneer pulls out rope and empty another sack
(00:56:21) Outlaw1 says: "Cmon I want to hang er from this lamp"
(00:56:39) Watcher says: That up there?
(00:56:44) Auctioneer chuckles
(00:57:01) Emora stirs slightly, hearing voices around her making no sense at all.
(00:57:11) Outlaw1 says: Yeah, tie one end to her ankle.
(00:57:27) Outlaw1 says: Wrap it around a few times and tie it good !
(00:57:36) Watcher studies Emora, then suddenly kicks her head, hard
(00:57:37) Outlaw1 says: and Just one ankle
(00:57:46) Outlaw1 says: Doh ! stop!
(00:57:54) >Auctioneer takes a seat.
(00:57:59) Emora is sent back to blissful unconsciousness by Watcher's kick.
(00:58:05) Outlaw1 looks at Auctioneer , "Do you have a customer yet ? "
(00:58:13) Watcher says: Hmmm?
(00:58:26) Auctioneer leans down and takes the rope in his hand. He ties it around Emora's ankle a few times before making a knot
(00:59:56) >Outlaw1 dropped a Dark Way Ring.
(01:00:15) Watcher says: Erm, what's that?
(01:00:21) >Outlaw1 picked up a Dark Way Ring
(01:00:31) >Outlaw1 takes a seat.
(01:00:55) Auctioneer dismisses Watcher's question and stands back up. He takes the other piece of rope and binds Emora's hands behind her back
(01:00:56) >Auctioneer stands up.
(01:01:47) Outlaw1 says: Ok, toss the rope over the light
(01:01:57) Outlaw1 says: I want to hand her upside down.
(01:02:03) Outlaw1 says: *hang
(01:02:15) Outlaw1 smirks holding back a giggle
(01:02:38) Watcher grins slightly and glances around
(01:03:11) Auctioneer nods. He takes the other end of the rope tied to her ankle and throws it over the lamp. He grabs hold of it on the other side and yanks it up
(01:04:10) Outlaw1 grasps the rope and knots it so that it doesn't slip.

Oh, the things that money can buy...

(01:04:48) Outlaw1 looks at Auctioneer , "Ok there ya go, one young healthy demorian. ". He then holds out his hand
(01:05:06) Outlaw1 says: "We agreed on 5000 tria right ? "
(01:05:23) Emora is roughly lifted up by her ankles and swings slightly from the lamp. She makes a small sound, but doesn't wake.
(01:05:30) Watcher tilts his head on one side and studies Emora agian, before turning to Outlaw1 "er..what are you talking about?"
(01:06:08) Auctioneer looks at Outlaw1 and nods
(01:06:16) >Outlaw1 stands up.
(01:08:21) Emora's blood rushes to her head, her brown hair just reaching the sand ground below.
(01:09:16) Outlaw1 looks at Watcher, and then at Auctioneer "Is this your customer ? "
(01:09:29) Auctioneer nods and taps his boot impatiently
(01:09:44) Watcher shrugs "I have no idea what you two are talking about, I'm just along for the ride."
(01:10:25) Outlaw1 look at Auctioneer with a puzzled expression
(01:10:32) Auctioneer frowns and sighs
(01:10:47) Watcher glances back and forth between Auctioneer and Outlaw1
(01:11:10) Outlaw1 glance at Watcher, "I trust you'll keep quiet about this'
(01:11:35) Outlaw1 looks at Auctioneer "how about instead of giving me my 5k, I'll pay you 5k for this one?"
(01:11:40) Watcher says: Um, sure. About what? Still confused, here...
(01:13:13) Watcher walks up and gently pokes Emora in fascination "who is she, anyways?"
(01:13:22) Auctioneer looks at Emora for a moment, then back to Outlaw1 and nods, waving his hand
(01:14:01) Outlaw1 grins evily and hands Auctioneer a small pouch of circles.
(01:14:11) Emora sways slightly in her bindings when Watcher pokes her.
(01:14:23) >Outlaw1 gave Auctioneer 5000 Tria.
(01:14:25) Watcher says: Hey...is she waking up?
(01:14:54) Auctioneer takes the pouch, peaking it in for a moment and then smiling. He puts the pouch on his belt and reaches out to grab Watcher and pull him away again

Pandora's box ? No. Not in Yliamkum. This is someone else's box and its filled with rusty toys.

(01:15:48) Outlaw1 looks to the right at a small crate on the floor. The crate is filled with odd looking hand tools, a whip and some other unrecognizable objects.
(01:16:16) Outlaw1 takes out a broken axe handle and swings it slapping his left hand with it.
(01:16:36) Watcher glares at Auctioneer a bit "You stop pushing me around kay..."he trails off noticing the tools
(01:16:49) Auctioneer steps back, leaning against the wall with a slight grin, watching
(01:17:51) Emora squirms a little in her bonds, beginning to regain her consciousness.
(01:18:31) Outlaw1 grunts for a moment followed by a blunt thud
(01:18:50) Watcher looks on as his eyes widen slightly
(01:20:09) Auctioneer examines Watcher nervously
(01:20:38) Watcher glances at Auctioneer "what?"
(01:20:51) Auctioneer shakes his head
(01:22:26) Outlaw1 grunts again swinging the axe handle at Emora's thighs
(01:23:38) Emora's eyes fly open and she cries out in sudden pain.
(01:23:46) Auctioneer flinches as Emora is struck, although he isn't all that surprised
(01:24:29) Outlaw1 smiles and swings the handle again, this time aiming at her ribs
(01:25:24) Emora begins to struggle in the ropes Auctioneer tied around her ankles and wrists, looking at the three cloaked people around her in fear, before she cries out again when her ribs are hit. 'Naaay!!! Please!!'
(01:25:44) Watcher jumps and gasps as she wakes up, then bites his lip and looks down
(01:25:53) Outlaw1 shouts, "Shut up!"
(01:26:01) Auctioneer shakes his head and glances around
(01:26:18) Outlaw1 says: me drops the ace handle and begins to slap Emora with his bare hands
(01:26:44) Emora whimpers, shaking and swinging from the force of Outlaw1's blows. 'Please!!' she cries.
(01:27:18) Watcher unconsciously chews on one of his fingers nervously, staring at Emora
(01:27:27) Outlaw1 shakes his head and walks back to the box. He bends over and rummages though to see what else is in there.
(01:27:51) Auctioneer looks at Outlaw1 and nods, making a waving gesture with a couple of his fingers. He says quietly between strikes "Have fun"
(01:28:18) Outlaw1 looks up at Auctioneer and nods with a smile, "Goddess bless"
(01:28:24) Emora struggles, panicked, shocked and afraid. 'Please, let me go!'
(01:28:29) Watcher looks at Auctioneer as he leaves "uh..bye Auctioneer..."
(01:28:30) Emora says: 'Sir, help me!'
(01:28:50) Outlaw1 begins to pull a length of chain from the box.
(01:29:00) Emora looks at Watcher with pleading eyes, the blood rush to her head dizzying her.
(01:29:58) Watcher bites his lip again and glances at Outlaw1 "er...Don't you think that's enough..?"
(01:30:09) Outlaw1 growls at Emora and then swings the chain towards her face
(01:31:10) Emora's head is snapped to the right when the chain hits her across her face, leaving a red mark and drawing blood.
(01:31:49) Watcher flinches noticeably and starts forward, then checks himself
(01:31:49) Outlaw1 curses a few times. "Gah! I cut it so soon.. nuts !"
(01:32:21) Outlaw1 looks at Watcher "back up, I paid for it.. its mine"
(01:32:25) Emora sobs, flinching from the two around her. 'Please, help me, let me go!'
(01:33:07) Outlaw1 picks up a stone the size of a gobble skull and thows it at her.
(01:33:12) Watcher gives Outlaw1 an ambiguous look then backs away slowly and sits down
(01:33:24) >Watcher takes a seat.
(01:35:21) Emora's breath is knocked away when the rock hits her stomach, she swings in her bonds, her ankles burning against the ropes from holding her weight.
(01:36:15) Emora screams for help, tears rolling down in pain
(01:36:24) Watcher carefully studies the ground in front of him, avoiding the sight of Emora

Sometimes a man just needs to dump. Men cry too you know.

(01:36:32) Outlaw1 kneels down looking at Emora's upside down face. He caresses her face and whispers to her "Zalloh, why do you hate me?"
(01:36:44) >Outlaw1 takes a seat.
(01:37:12) Watcher looks up confused and gets up to peer over Outlaw1's shoulder
(01:37:14) >Watcher stands up.
(01:37:27) Outlaw1 begins to pull out a long sharp knife
(01:37:34) Emora shivers, attempting to stay away from Outlaw1's touch. 'Please,' she whispers. 'Please, no...'
(01:38:00) Emora says: Oh Laanx please save me!
(01:38:29) Outlaw1 stars at Emora and begins to cry. Agrily he shouts "Mommy ! Why did you freakin do it ? Why!"
(01:38:39) Emora closes her eyes, the tears mingling with the blood from the cut on her cheek.
(01:39:30) Watcher stares at Outlaw1 "What are you talking about?"
(01:39:41) Emora screams in fear when Outlaw1 starts shouting. 'HELP!!!'
(01:39:56) Outlaw1 cries even harder and begins to shake. His hands begin to tremble.
(01:40:04) Watcher backs off again, very disturbed
(01:40:46) Outlaw1's tears rolls down his flesh mask making the green eye shadow and black eye liner run . It creates a black and green line down his cheeks.
(01:40:52) Emora frantically pulls against her ropes, but slowly stills when no more blows are delivered.
(01:41:26) Emora looks exhausted, her voice is slightly hoarse. 'Just, let me go, sir, please...'
(01:41:39) Outlaw1 takes the knife and places it to Emora's throat and shouts "Why ? Dammit ? Why!"
(01:42:04) Emora closes her eyes and shouts back. 'I don't know!!'
(01:42:14) Emora says: I don't know, I don't know!
(01:42:54) Watcher puts a hand out "Um, hey, Outlaw1, wait...you don't need to kill her.."
(01:43:04) Outlaw1 grabs Emora's soft curly hair and drags the knife against her throat.
(01:43:32) Emora swallows against the cold knife pressed against her throat, her eyes wide.
(01:44:05) Outlaw1 leans into the blade and attempts to cut
(01:46:01) Emora's tears stream down her face freely. Too scared to move when the knife begins to draw blood from her throat.
(01:46:48) Emora whispers once more. 'Please..'
(01:47:55) Outlaw1 lifts the blade again and sets it on the far side of her neck. He leans in slashes her throat from side to side.
(01:48:27) Watcher stares in horror at the mess of gushing blood
(01:48:54) Emora gurgles in her own blood, pleading eyes focussing on Watcher. Him being the last thing she sees as her blood gushes to the floor, taking her life along.
(01:49:21) Outlaw1 wraps his arms around the corpse and hugs it tightly crying out loud. His tiara falls off as he shakes and hits the ground.
(01:50:25) Watcher takes a few hesitant steps forward "You...you killed her."
(01:50:34) Emora slowly fades in Outlaw1's deadly embrace, Dakkru's darkness claiming her.
(01:51:00) Outlaw1 looks up at Watcher1 still crying, "Leave me alone !"
(01:52:11) Watcher stares in shock at Outlaw1 "What's wrong with you? You..didn't have to do that...you're nothing but a..murderer.."
(01:53:03) Outlaw1 glars at Watcher,"I do what I gotta do. An your not much better yourself"
(01:53:38) Watcher takes a few more steps forward "But..she was helpless..she didn't do anything to you.."
(01:53:55) Outlaw1 wipes the tears and makup from flesh mask and the pulls it off, crumples it and tucks it into his sack. He picks up the tiara too.
(01:54:06) >Outlaw1 stands up.
(01:56:38) Outlaw1 wander out the archway. "Im getting out of here.. Nothing left. Want to get a drink at Kada's ? "

Some men just have a habit of leaving as soon as their work is done.

(01:57:14) Watcher stares at Outlaw1 "What? That's it? You just walk away?"
(01:58:08) Outlaw1 wipes his nose in his sleeve and then clears his throat. "Its gone. Time to move on"
(01:58:43) Watcher stares a moment longer then slowly nods and follows
(02:02:05) Watcher steps closer to Outlaw1 and sets his mouth in a line "But...she hadn't done anything to you..."
(02:02:45) Outlaw1 turns to face Watcher "I paid for that thing. I had every right to destroy it !
(02:03:11) Watcher clenches his fists"She...is not...a THING!"
(02:03:43) Outlaw1 laughs, "Its just a flesh puppet"

A man with morals.. tisk tisk..

(02:03:53) Watcher gives a short cry of anger and pushes Outlaw1 backwards with all his strength
(02:04:47) Outlaw1 waves his arms in circular motions trying to get his ballance. The soil beneath his feet gives way and he falls backwards off the cliiff
(02:05:23) Outlaw1 lays on the ground bleeding profusely.
(02:06:34) Watcher climbs down and stares at Outlaw1 panting
(02:07:01) Outlaw1 squirms and tries to pull a glyph from his sack.
(02:07:42) Watcher bites his lip and undoes the axe on his back
(02:08:28) Watcher says: Outlaw1...you're nothing but a disturbed murderer.
(02:09:09) Outlaw1 stumbles and stands. Seeing the drawn axes he pulls out a pair of sabres
(02:09:43) Outlaw1 says: "I don't think you want to be pointing that axe at me"
(02:10:59) Outlaw1 glares at Watcher and limps away
(02:12:17) Watcher raises his axe, then lets it fall with a sigh


I suppose this villain feels a bit better for now. But is he the only villain that needs a little er eh.. therapy ? Somehow I don't think so... this is certainly not the end.

[Timmothy Perriwinkle]

The caps are distracting. In the future, to hide identities name outlaw1 phil and the victim susan.

[Rigwyn]

Thanks for your suggestion. I agree and will replace with mixed case later.

[garoninja]

[That has to be alot more than PG-13 or PG-14]

[Sarras Volcae]

rigwyn, idk if you care rly (yes i kno my spelling sux atm im in pain) but so far i know All thr names of the chars who ur truing to witness pritect or whatever. u using a progrM to alter the names?

[Rigwyn]

[
@ Sarras  - In theory we should not have to mask names. Players should never take OOC information like these logs and use them ICly. Unfortunately it does happen sometimes. I know one player in particular who has done this and then tried to justify it by saying that he had *instinct* or *psychic powers*  - which is cheating. Personally, I'll just ignore anyone who does this so I'm not too concerned about showing my name in OOC logs. In some cases I'll leave mine masked if I'm cloaked. ( all three players in this RP were cloaked )

For editing I used plain old "vi" which has a global replace feature. The tricky part is locating misspelled names.   :g/name/s/name/ALIAS/g    Most text editors should have a "Replace All" feature that does basically the same.

@ garoninga - Regarding violence level, I agree that some parts are/will get pretty intense hence the warning in red at the top. However - I don't think the actual actions depicted are *much* worse than a typical RP-fight but if any of the forum moderators suggest that I tone it down I'll certainly do so. Also worth noting - there was an ooc discussion with the player of Emora in advance to ensure that the player was comfortable with this type of RP.

The Abduction of Celeva

Three grim conspirators meet to discuss the details of a job.

(23:22:05) Outlaw1 nods at Auctioneer "Good to see you " (23:22:34) LadyThug says: What are we doing? (23:22:38) Auctioneer nods, looking at LadyThug pausing for a moment, before nodding to her (23:22:51) Outlaw1 says: "Do you know one another ? " (23:23:27) Auctioneer nods "Aye, we pulled a job together....didn't see any loot from it though" (23:23:32) Auctioneer looks to LadyThug (23:23:58) LadyThug gives Auctioneer the finger, then tosses a small sack to him (23:24:04) Outlaw1 looks at LadyThug and then at Auctioneer , "She ok ? one of  ..." (23:24:32) Auctioneer looks at Outlaw1 and shrugs "She's willing to kill for some tria" (23:24:42) LadyThug says: I am a member.. yes. (23:24:59) Outlaw1 smirks, "pleased to meet you." Outlaw1 holds out his hand to shake. (23:25:03) Auctioneer catches and sack and peaks into it, before smiling and placing it onto on of his belt pouches (23:25:19) Outlaw1 says: Names Outlaw1. (23:25:36) LadyThug takes the hand, somewhat cautiously "LadyThug." (23:26:10) Outlaw1 nods with a sligh smile, "Auctioneer has found a new way to make some income.. And I found some product" (23:26:24) LadyThug says: ...and? (23:26:26) Outlaw1 says: "But could use a little help .. eh .. carrying it somewhere" (23:26:45) Outlaw1 says: "It has legs...it just needs a little guidance... persuasion" (23:27:13) LadyThug chuckles "Name, location, armor, weapons, race, gender?" (23:27:43) Auctioneer looks at Outlaw1 with a grin (23:27:53) Outlaw1 says: All I know its its sitting near a tree an unaware if its fate. (23:28:07) Outlaw1 says: I dont care for its name personally. Would you like to see ? (23:28:08) LadyThug gives Outlaw1 a 'You've got to be kidding me look' (23:28:18) LadyThug says: Shall we? (23:28:48) Outlaw1 looks at Auctioneer curiously, "Do you want to get your hands dirty too ? or should we do the lifting ? " (23:29:21) Auctioneer shrugs "I could use some fun if you need me. I'll keep a look out and lend a hand when needed" (23:29:23) Auctioneer grins (23:29:52) Outlaw1 slips the flesh of a demorian woman's face over his head and puts a tiara on his head. He then pulls the hood of his cloak over it. (23:30:21) LadyThug pulls her cloak over her head, tightening it so it doesnt fall off (23:31:26) Outlaw1 says: "Please follow me.."

Celeva stuck between a rock and eh .. three not so nice folks. Well, on the bright side, at least she still has her ring.

The three casually enter the garden careful not to look suspicious...

(23:32:29) Outlaw1 enters the garden with his cloaked head facing down.
(23:32:50) LadyThug tightens her cloak a little more, obscuring her face completely
(23:33:01) Outlaw1 steps towards the pool and kneels down gazing into the water.
(23:33:12) >Outlaw1  takes a seat.
(23:33:49) Celeva notices another reflection in the water, jumping a little as she notices the figure to her right. "Oh-uh.. hello."
(23:34:02) Outlaw1 says: "What a wonderful place this is... so peaceful.. so tranquil"
(23:34:27) LadyThug kneels at Celeva's other side
(23:34:34) Outlaw1 continues to hold his head very low - cloak completely obscuring it.
(23:34:38) >LadyThug takes a seat.
(23:34:48) Celeva glances at Auctioneer, tilting her head a little. "It is.." Looking over at LadyThug. "Are you three here to enjoy Xiosia's lovely garden?"
(23:35:06) Outlaw1 says: "We are dear"
(23:35:12) Auctioneer eyes the entrance for a moment before turning to look out the windows
(23:35:16) LadyThug nods assuringly
(23:35:37) Outlaw1 whispers, "Do you pray often maam?"
(23:36:00) Celeva lifts a foot from the pool, watching the water drip from it. "Pray? I don't...think I quite understand your question, sir."
(23:36:48) Outlaw1 smiles slighty, " Pray to Xiosia that is .. for protection, safety, happiness?"
(23:37:22) Celeva nods, looking rather uncomfortable now as she eyes the other side of the pool. "I do, sir. Always."
(23:37:57) Outlaw1 shuffles towards Celeva a bit "Would you pray for me dear ? "
(23:38:06) Outlaw1 says: "For success, and happiness ? "
(23:38:31) Auctioneer turns his attention back to the entrance, moving to it and glancing around before returning
(23:38:52) Celeva glances at Outlaw1, smiling a little. "For happiness and success? Of course. I wish only the best for everyone and anyone."
(23:39:57) Outlaw1 lowers his voice just above a whisper,"Bless you dear. For your kind gesture I'de like to give you something. A little .. er eh .. thank-you"
(23:40:33) Outlaw1 stands up and slowly reaches into his sack with a slightly shaky hand.
(23:40:39) >Outlaw1  stands up.
(23:41:04) Celeva looks up at Outlaw1, a soft smile on her lips. "Please.. I don't need a gift. Life provides that as it is."
(23:41:43) Outlaw1 glances at LadyThug and nods
(23:42:25) Outlaw1 says: Daar lady perhaps a little gift then ? Its from my heart.
(23:42:40) Auctioneer looks around impatiently
(23:43:18) Celeva shakes her head, insisting. "I would feel terrible to take what is not mine."
(23:43:23) >LadyThug stands up.
(23:43:50) Outlaw1 says: It would complete me. What is love without a recipient ?
(23:44:17) Celeva raises her hand, presenting the gold ring on her finger. "It would be nothing." She giggles.
(23:44:42) LadyThug raises an eyebrow to Outlaw1
(23:44:55) Outlaw1 sighs, "So you will not let me give this to you... thats is fine.."
(23:44:58) Auctioneer grins and looks over at Celeva's ring
(23:46:05) Celeva slowly begins to slide herself into the pool, to walk across and away from the cloaked figures.
(23:46:13) >Celeva Briteblade stands up.
(23:46:18) Outlaw1 steps behind Celeva slowly and pulls a small dagger from his sleeve
(23:46:52) Auctioneer grins and takes a few steps forward before turning to look at the windows again
(23:47:02) Celeva tries to leap across the pool water to the other side.
(23:47:30) Outlaw1 attempts to grab Celeva by the back of her hair
(23:47:44) LadyThug unsheathes a pair of sabres, moving to block the exit of the garden
(23:47:54) Celeva cries out, falling backwards as her hair is yanked.
(23:48:00) >Celeva Briteblade takes a seat.
(23:48:14) Auctioneer grins, taking a step next to the pool
(23:48:22) Outlaw1 steps forward and points the dagger to Celeva's back whispering " Sssh"
(23:48:40) LadyThug sheathes her sabres, reaching into a small sack at her waist
(23:48:42) Outlaw1 says: *kneels down
(23:48:47) >Outlaw1  takes a seat.
(23:48:52) Celeva begins to shake, eyes wide. "Please.. you don't want to do this."
(23:49:15) LadyThug produces a small length of rope, tossing it to Outlaw1
(23:49:23) Auctioneer smiles and kneels down next to her, he reaches out to grab hold of her hand with the ring in it
(23:49:24) >Auctioneer  takes a seat.
(23:49:45) Outlaw1 grabs the rope and attempts to tie Celeva's hands together
(23:50:34) Outlaw1 mumbles "we should toss somethign over here .. a cape to hid her hands"
(23:50:41) Celeva tries to slap Auctioneer's hand away, pleading, "I have a family! Please, I'll give you money, anything!"
(23:51:36) LadyThug steps into the pool, unsheathing a sabre again. She mutters a couple curses as her feet become soaked but then moves to put the sabre to Celeva's throat
(23:51:39) Auctioneer withdraws his hand quickly. He pauses for a moment and stands up, still looking down at her
(23:51:40) Outlaw1 drops the rope and picks up the dagger again. He presses the point against Celeva 's back
(23:51:40) >Auctioneer  stands up.
(23:51:51) Outlaw1 says: ( lightly touching it )
(23:52:11) Celeva gasps, a weapon placed to her throat and back. She whispers "please.."
(23:52:34) Outlaw1 whispers, "Quickly, tie her hands"
(23:52:47) LadyThug says: Resist and you die. Scream and you die. As much as try to socialize with someone and you will die.
(23:53:13) Auctioneer glances back at the entrance and then kneels again to help with tying her hands. He picks up the rope and reaches out again to grab hold of Celeva's wrist
(23:53:15) >Auctioneer  takes a seat.
(23:53:29) Celeva whimpers quietly, tears forming at the corners of her eyes. This time not resisting.
(23:54:20) Outlaw1 says: "That ring will stay on your finger if you cooperate. If you resist I'll take it... and the ring too"
(23:54:58) Celeva nods a couple times, blinking tears from her eyes as she looks up at LadyThug.
(23:55:00) Auctioneer grins as he takes one hand and loops the rope around it. He reaches for the other hand and ties the rope around both of them together a few times before knotting it
(23:55:36) Outlaw1 says: "Make a happy face dear. "
(23:55:59) LadyThug says: Smile, you arent bleeding.
(23:56:01) Outlaw1 begins to stand while tugging Celeva upwards "Up we go"
(23:56:12) Auctioneer grins and stands up as well
(23:56:13) >Auctioneer  stands up.
(23:56:18) Celeva smiles weakly, tears rolling down her cheeks as she's tugged upwards. Whispering more so to herself, "I'm sorry.."
(23:56:18) >Celeva Briteblade stands up.
(23:56:20) >Outlaw1  stands up.
(23:56:26) LadyThug says: Hold on..
(23:56:46) LadyThug produces a helmet from a larger sack at her waist "To hide her face?"
(23:56:54) Outlaw1 says: "There there ... come with us and you'll sleep safely tonight"
(23:57:41) Outlaw1 begines to walk towards the exit tugging Celeva
(23:57:55) LadyThug shrugs, sheathing her sabre
(23:58:05) Auctioneer runs off, a few paces ahead

The four casually walk to the Laanx temple and down into the dungeon with a concealed blade to Celeva's back.
Finally they find a cozy spot.

(00:05:12) Outlaw1 nudges Celeva again, This way
(00:06:36) LadyThug unsheathes her sabres, warily
(00:10:21) >LadyThug stands up.
(00:23:06) Celeva sniffels, "What did you bring me here ? "
(00:23:48) Outlaw1 tries to hod back a smiles while staring directly at Celeva
(00:25:49) Celeva notices the dead flesh on Outlaw1's and begins to scream franticly. She then tooks to LadyThug as if for consolation..
(00:26:18) Auctioneer sighs as he takes his staff in two hands and tries to knock Celeva back against the walls
(00:27:06) LadyThug says: Dont hurt her!
(00:27:18) Celeva stumbles backwards and hits her head on the rock. She puts her fingers to her lips and then holds them back staring horrified at the blood.
(00:27:48) LadyThug says: For the love of... You trying to kill her?!
(00:27:55) Auctioneer ignores LadyThug and kneels down next to Celeva
(00:28:01) >Auctioneer takes a seat.
(00:28:07) Outlaw1 says: We gotta shut er up... but lets not scratch it up too much.
(00:28:43) Auctioneer looks around and then to LadyThug "More rope?" He says softly
(00:28:53) Outlaw1 says: Hold on.
(00:29:08) >Auctioneer  stands up.
(00:29:09) Outlaw1 pulls his cloak off and puts it over Celeva 's head.
(00:30:05) Celeva shakes her head while crying hysterically.
(00:30:32) Outlaw1 looks at LadyThug "Lil help ? "
(00:30:51) Auctioneer looks to Outlaw1 "That's not gonna shut her up. We need to gag her with a rag or tie a rope around her head"
(00:31:31) Outlaw1 says: Anyone got somethign ta stick in er mouth ?
(00:31:56) Celeva screams "HELP !!"
(00:32:14) LadyThug moves forward and cups a hand over Celeva's mouth
(00:32:40) Auctioneer sighs
(00:33:05) Outlaw1 grabs Celeva's head and bashes it into the wall.
(00:33:10) LadyThug reaches into her sack with her free hand, pulling out another length of rope and a small gag
(00:33:22) Celeva's body goes limp and falls to the ground.
(00:33:24) >Celeva takes a seat.
(00:34:08) LadyThug sighs "Alright then.."
(00:37:23) Auctioneer looks down at Celeva and then up to LadyThug and Outlaw1 "We gotta chain her to a rock or something"
(00:37:28) Auctioneer looks around
(00:37:52) Outlaw1 graps Celeva by the armpits and nods at Auctioneer "How about we stick her over there .. in that narrow opeing ?"
(00:38:08) LadyThug nods "Sounds good."
(00:38:18) Outlaw1 grabs Celeva by the armpits and begins to lift.
(00:38:30) Auctioneer smiles and nods. He moves to her feet and grab hold of her ankles to help move her
(00:38:56) Outlaw1 says: "Nice and easy now .. nody wants a bruised elf"
(00:39:22) Outlaw1 says: Ugh .. !
(00:39:43) Auctioneer drops her feet, pushing them away from him
(00:40:26) Outlaw1 pushes some stones over the body.. "We better check on her daily ,,, make sure she stays put"
(00:40:48) Auctioneer nods "And alive until we get a customer to pay us!"
(00:41:32) Outlaw1 says: "Agree.. "
(00:41:41) Auctioneer grins
(00:41:54) Outlaw1 wipes his hands on his trousers, "Anyone up for a drink ? "
(00:42:08) Auctioneer shrugs and chuckles "Why not?"

[ "The Rescue of Celeva" (one post below) is the next event  timewise .. and occurs before this section ]

The Auctioning of Caira

Outlaw1 receives a note via groffel from Auctioneer. It indicates there there is some sort of problem and calls for a meeting at a particular location.

(19:20:48) >Auctioneer  greets Outlaw1 .
(19:21:04) Outlaw1 says: "I got a message.. whats wrong ? "
(19:22:23) Auctioneer sighs and glances around. He then says "We got trouble. Our prisoner isn't with us anymore"
(19:22:54) Outlaw1 smacks his forehead "Darn! we should have secured her better"
(19:23:49) Auctioneer nods "Yes, LadyThug took a nap. No one searched her for glyphs. And worst of all Mellas found her. I ran her off but she came back with help.
(19:23:57) Outlaw1 says: "What happened exactly ? "
(19:24:19) Auctioneer says: I move the elf to another place, but they found us. I had to flee to the tower" He points up to it
(19:24:49) Outlaw1 says: "Agh!... how many were with her ? "
(19:25:03) Outlaw1 says: When she came back with help ?
(19:25:50) Auctioneer shrugs "Maybe two, or three of them. I knew it was Mellas though. However..."
(19:26:16) Outlaw1 waits silently
(19:26:26) Auctioneer takes a deep breathe "I sent the elf to the Death Realm with me...I refused to get caught. I think Mellas join us too"
(19:27:12) Outlaw1 says: Mellas is trouble. We need to steer clear of her.
(19:27:54) Outlaw1 says: Who in DR was that ?
(19:27:59) Auctioneer frowns "Why not get rid of her."
(19:28:06) Auctioneer shrugs "I don't know"
(19:28:48) Outlaw1 says: "We could waste her but she'll only come back in time.."
(19:29:17) Outlaw1 says: Leave Mellas alone for now.
(19:30:10) Auctioneer frowns "Whatever. But both her and the elf were hurt pretty bad, even after coming out of the Death Realm. I think they are either goign to the healers tent or up at Kada's. I went to the healers tent and found nothing. But there was some commotion up at Kada's. Should we try to get this one again?"
(19:30:56) Auctioneer sighs "Or move on?"
(19:34:18) Auctioneer asks "Do you have a customer waiting? Or even a new target? I can always look into getting that elf back"
(19:35:04) Outlaw1 says: "I have a new target"
(19:36:03) Outlaw1 says: "Stay away from Mellas if possible .. whacking her will cause unneeded problems with some of her friends"
(19:36:38) Auctioneer frowns "Alright"
(19:36:56) Outlaw1 says: Let me send a groffel out and see one of my potential customers is interested.
(19:38:41) Auctioneer nods
(19:47:19) Auctioneer looks to Outlaw1 "So who's the target?"
(19:50:35) Outlaw1 says: "Lets go .. I think I know a good place to look"
(19:50:56) Auctioneer nods
(19:51:12) Outlaw1 says: "Gonna cloak up..
(19:51:34) Auctioneer nods and looks around.
(19:53:06) Outlaw1 says: "Cmon"

The two thugs head to the sewers in search of a vulnerable target. Sure enough they spot a female elf wandering all alone.

(19:55:49) Outlaw1 looks at Auctioneer and then at the elf (19:56:21) Outlaw1 then turns back towards Auctioneer and holds his head down (19:56:26) Auctioneer frowns and looks at Outlaw1. He covers his mouth with a finger and then shrugs, raising his staff (19:56:44) Caira walks softly, eyeing to two figures with concern before continuing down the path. (19:57:05) Outlaw1 wanders behins Caira following her from a distance (19:57:31) Auctioneer also follows quietly (19:57:53) Outlaw1 call out "Maam" (19:57:54) Caira wrinkles her nose, taking a deep breath of air before turning right, her footsteps echoing. (19:58:00) Caira spins around. (19:58:21) Outlaw1 proceeds forward with his head facing down. (19:58:38) Outlaw1 says: "You dropped something maam" (19:58:46) Auctioneer quietly makes his way around Ciara (19:59:11) Caira looks around, her forehead furrowed. "Oh! Sorry about that. Can you help me find it, please?" (19:59:27) Caira looks up at Outlaw1, hopefully. A small, hesitant smile spreads across her face. (19:59:31) Outlaw1 beings to hold out his hand - fist closed. (19:59:48) Caira leans forward, straining to see. Let this be a warning about accepting free gifts from strangers (20:00:22) Outlaw1 begins to open his hand "This looks so precious.." (20:00:29) Auctioneer takes a few steps toward Caira and makes a swing at her feet with his staff (20:00:48) Caira gives a surprised gasp, her knees buckling and she hits the sewer-floor. (20:00:50) >Caira Monteverte takes a seat. (20:01:18) Caira looks over her shoulder, her eyes wide. "What in the name of ...." (20:01:40) Auctioneer points the staff at her face and holds a finger over his mouth again (20:02:12) Caira takes a deep breath, readying herself to scream and she stares down the length of the staff. (20:02:29) Auctioneer frowns and reaches to his belt for a dagger (20:03:19) Caira yells, "Help!" (20:03:40) Caira tries to crawl away, toward the entrance of the sewers. (20:04:45) Auctioneer makes a swing with his staff at Caira's head (20:05:14) Outlaw1 attempts to grab Caira by the leg (20:05:28) Caira's head is hit with a faint, 'crack', her body going limp. (20:05:51) Outlaw1 quickly checks Caira for a pulse (20:06:06) Outlaw1 says: "Lets find a room to stick her in!" (20:06:27) Auctioneer nods and grabs hold of Caira's arm (20:06:41) Outlaw1 helps to left Caira (20:06:51) Caira's arm swings lightly in Outlaw1's grasp. (20:06:53) >Caira Monteverte stands up. (20:08:30) Outlaw1 tugs on Caira "This way" (20:10:19) Caira's body swings limply between the two, her hair falling over her face.

Caria is dragged deep into the sewers and bound to some old rusty pipes.

(20:10:38) Outlaw1 says: "Before she wakes up .. lets tie er to the pipes"
(20:10:59) Outlaw1 takes out a length of rope and tosses it to Auctioneer
(20:11:12) Auctioneer nods "Make sure to gag her and blindfold her. I'll search for weaposn and glyphs"
(20:11:44) Outlaw1 attempts to drag Caira to the pipe - positioning her arms around the vertical pipe.
(20:11:47) Auctioneer takes hold of one of Caira's wrists and loops the rope around it, tying a knot.
(20:12:08) Outlaw1 says: "Go ahead .. tie her good"
(20:12:33) Auctioneer throws the rope around the pipe and loops it around her other wrist, tying another knot
(20:12:34) Caira stirs slightly, her eyelids fluttering and her wrists are bound around the cold metal, her body slumping forward slightly.
(20:13:06) Outlaw1 stuffs an empty sack into Caira's mouth
(20:14:01) Caira coughs slightly as the sack is pushed into her mouth, her head swaying left as she tries to regain conciousness.
(20:14:08) Outlaw1 looks up at Auctioneer "Check her .. I'll send out a groffel"
(20:14:25) Auctioneer finishes tying up Caira and begins searching for weaposn or glyphs on her

Outlaw1 sends a groffel out summoning a few potential customers- - Ellesmere, Silk, and Zatium

(20:15:56) Auctioneer takes the galkard out of the shealth and throws it to the side away from her
(20:16:02) Caira's eyes flutter open slowly, a tear running down her cheek as the pipe pushes into her wrists.
(20:16:28) Auctioneer takes out his dagger and cuts the glyph sack from Caira's belt and throws it with the galkard near the wall
(20:17:27) Caira blinks, trying to make sense of the dim light surrounding her.
(20:17:47) Auctioneer takes out another empty sack
(20:19:54) Auctioneer opens the sack and throws it over Caira's head
(20:20:51) Caira gives a muffled shriek as the sack goes over her head, the dim light turning to pitch black. Her knees tremble slightly against her bindings.
(20:21:09) Outlaw1 says: "Good idea"
(20:22:16) Auctioneer takes a few steps away and looks around
(20:22:53) Outlaw1 notices that his groffel as returned. He picks it up and pets it gently .. then begins to laugh
(20:23:18) Outlaw1 says: "I like the expression on his face .. .It looks promising"'
(20:23:52) Caira strains against her bindings, trembling as she tries not to choke on her crude gag.
(20:24:30) Outlaw1 walks up to Caira and whispers "Speak and I'll remove your tongue"
(20:25:12) Auctioneer frowns at Outlaw1 and says in a muffled voice "It's better for her not to see or hear much from us"
(20:25:25) Caira freezes, a shudder running down her body.
(20:25:30) >Panyo Ellido greets everyone.
(20:26:08) Outlaw1 says: "Greetings sir .. Just having a private discussion. Good day"
(20:26:25) Panyo says: One ear twitches as Panyo says 'Aye..'
(20:26:49) Outlaw1 lets out a sigh of relief as the menki leaves.
(20:26:57) Auctioneer frowns and watches Panyo, he looks to Outlaw1
(20:27:21) Outlaw1 says: "I hope they come soon.. Im getting impatient"
(20:27:57) Outlaw1 says: "The ole lemur wont get this one ... "
(20:28:06) Outlaw1 nods at Auctioneer and winks
(20:28:17) Caira strains to hear the menki, her breaths becoming desperate gasps as his steps retreat into silence.
(20:28:39) Auctioneer frowns and looks at Caira
(20:29:36) Caira grits her teeth together, her forehead crumpling in confusion and fear.
(20:30:21) Outlaw1 whispers again to Caira "Want to keep that tongue ? "
(20:31:13) Caira cries softly, nodding as much as her bindings allow quickly.
(20:31:54) Auctioneer shakes his head and takes a few steps toward Outlaw1, saying quietly "Be careful what she hears and sees."
(20:34:47) >Outlaw1  greets Silk .
(20:35:00) >Outlaw1  greets Ellesmere .
(20:35:34) Ellesmere giggles happily, "Hi!"
(20:35:34) Outlaw1 says: "I see my groffel has done well.. "
(20:35:58) Outlaw1 glances at Silk "Please, join us"
(20:36:06) Caira closes her eyes tightly, her lips moving in silent prayer.
(20:36:41) Ellesmere looks around, "Hm... Guess I kinda look out of place without a cloak. You shoulda put that in the note."
(20:36:47) >Outlaw1  greets Zatium.
(20:37:19) Outlaw1 glances at Ellesmere "Sorry, I should have mentioned that. "
(20:37:46) Silk looks at Outlaw1 and points to Ellesmere

Let the unlawful auction begin !

(20:37:50) Outlaw1 holds his hand out pointing to the elf. Her head has a sack over it.
(20:38:14) Outlaw1 says: "I would like to er eh .. sell this fine piece of meat to the highest bidder"
(20:38:17) Ellesmere shrugs, "Just as well, I probably wouldn't've worn it. They're ugly." She follows Outlaw1's hand, looking to the Nolthrir.
(20:38:47) Caira strains against her bindings, desperately.
(20:38:57) Outlaw1 says: "I assure you its in good shape - minimal scratches, no bruises... and its still alive"
(20:39:12) Ellesmere claps her hands together "Oh funnnn! Five thousand!"
(20:39:43) Outlaw1 turns towards Auctioneer "I'll defer to you sir. Im not good with auctions"
(20:40:21) Silk looks back at Zatium
(20:40:32) Caira tries to make sense of the conversations, her whole body trembling against the pipe-metal.
(20:40:46) Auctioneer nods and motions to Ellesmere "5 thousand. Do I hear six?" He turns to Silk and Zatium
(20:41:00) Zatium stands silently looking at the Nolthrir.
(20:41:32) Silk nods to Auctioneer
(20:41:42) Caira gives a muffled snarl, struggling more.
(20:41:58) Auctioneer nods "6k!" He looks to Zatium "You come to watch...or to play?"
(20:42:03) Auctioneer chuckles
(20:42:11) Outlaw1 snickers and this pokes Caira in the side with his finger.
(20:42:25) Ellesmere says: Seven!
(20:42:46) Silk looks back at Caira, looking her over.
(20:42:54) Caira shudders against Outlaw1's touch.
(20:43:41) Auctioneer nods "Seven!" He looks to Zatium "Why so quiet?"
(20:44:09) Zatium looks at Auctioneer "Nothing that needs saying."
(20:45:03) Outlaw1 shrugs and looks at Caira , Ellesmere , and then back at Auctioneer
(20:45:07) Auctioneer frowns "Do I hear any other bets?"
(20:45:17) Auctioneer looks to Silk "8k?"
(20:45:22) Caira grits her teeth.
(20:45:42) Zatium looks at Silk "If you think you can handle her."
(20:46:08) Silk looks to Zatium and then to Auctioneer and nods
(20:46:21) Auctioneer looks to Ellesmere "Eight thousand tria!"
(20:46:51) Ellesmere gives Silk an irritated look, "Oh buzz off already. It's my fishelf." She looks to Auctioneer, "Twelve thousand."
(20:47:29) Auctioneer grins and looks to Silk "Do I hear fifteen thousand?"
(20:47:35) Outlaw1's eyes widen for a moment followed by a upressed smile.
(20:48:02) Silk looks at Caira closely then to Outlaw1 motioning him closer.
(20:48:21) Outlaw1 walks towards Silk
(20:48:23) Auctioneer frowns "Twelve thousand going once!"
(20:48:27) Zatium crosses his hands behind his back watching Caira.
(20:48:45) Caira struggles hopelessly against the ropes.
(20:49:02) Silk whispers to Outlaw1
(20:49:12) [tell] Silk tells you: "Any others?"
(20:49:13) Ellesmere paces over to Caira, then goes to flick her in the forehead, through the sack.
(20:49:13) Outlaw1 leans towards Silk
(20:49:39) Auctioneer looks over to Ellesmere and snaps "Wait until the auction is closed!"
(20:49:47) [tell] You tell Silk: "Thats it for now.. but I am planning on nabbing a priest in the near future"
(20:49:52) Auctioneer looks over to Silk and watches her talk to Outlaw1
(20:49:55) Caira's head turns sharply away from the flick, a startled, muffled soung coming from her mouth.
(20:50:09) Outlaw1 straightens up and steps back
(20:50:11) Ellesmere rolls her eyes, turning around, "Oh you're such a /bore/."
(20:50:35) Caira grits her teeth, blindly trying to hit the fenki. [[with her head]]
(20:50:44) Auctioneer looks at Silk "Twelve thousand going twice!"
(20:51:02) Silk nods to Outlaw1 and looks to Auctioneer "Let her have it."
(20:51:28) Ellesmere claps her hands together, giggling madly, "Yay! My very own fishelf!"
(20:51:41) Auctioneer looks to Ellesmere and nods "All yours, tria first though"

Sold !

(20:51:49) Outlaw1 laughs and shouts at Caira "Youv'e been sold ! Greet your new master!"
(20:52:11) Ellesmere paces over to Auctioneer, reaching into the pouch on her side and counting out a handful of circles.
(20:52:34) Caira snarls under her breath, rubbing her binds up and down the metal pipe, her ears twitching with the strain.
(20:52:36) Auctioneer holds out his hand
(20:53:07) Outlaw1 walks closer to Caira checking to see that the ropes are still tight.
(20:53:11) Auctioneer nods and motions at Caira
(20:53:17) Ellesmere spins around, pacing back over to Caira.
(20:54:09) Caira presses herself against the pipe, holding her breath as Ellesmere approaches.
(20:54:37) Outlaw1 says: "Does the new master wish to slaughter the fish elf ? you to you prefer to take it ?"
(20:54:47) Outlaw1 says: *or do you wish
(20:55:09) Ellesmere moves her head down, close to the sack covering Caira's ear, "Oh don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you..."
(20:56:09) Caira leans away from Ellesmere in disgust, her breathing becoming half-gasps of panic.
(20:56:25) Ellesmere stands back up, aiming a hard kick for Caira's stomach, "Just kidding!" She giggles madly, looking to Outlaw1, "I'll take her to go, thanks."
(20:56:51) Caira slumps, coughing violently into her gag.
(20:57:10) Zatium watches Ellesmere interested wtih what she is going to do, smirking as she land a kick on the Nolthrir.
(20:57:36) Outlaw1 laughs loudly and then turns away, "Enjoy your new toy. "
(20:58:07) Outlaw1 says: "I think our business is done."
(20:58:20) Ellesmere giggles, "I will! And kudos to you guys for actioning a fishelf. I would've felt bad if I was hurting an actual person."
(20:58:42) Auctioneer nods
(20:58:54) Outlaw1 turns and laughs at Ellesmere's remark.
(20:59:14) Zatium turns his attention to Outlaw1 and Auctioneer, observing them closely.
(20:59:25) Outlaw1 turns to Auctioneer "Buy me a beer ? "
(20:59:53) Caira sways in her bindings, her teeth clenched to stop any noise.
(21:00:13) Ellesmere looks over to Zatium and Silk, "Oh and don't feel too bad about losing. You can always come talk to me and I can rent her out to you."
(21:00:18) Auctioneer nods
(21:00:52) Auctioneer looks to Silk and smiles "Don't worry there will always be more"
(21:00:54) Auctioneer chuckles
(21:01:21) Silk nods and looks at Outlaw1 "I want the one you said."
(21:01:34) Auctioneer looks to Outlaw1
(21:01:50) Outlaw1 turns towards Silk, "It will take a litttle work, but yes. I will."
(21:02:25) Zatium looks at the group again and turns and leaves.
(21:02:29) Ellesmere looks to Caira and furrows her brow, then turns her head to look at Outlaw1, "This one is tied inconveniently to a pole. It makes her difficult to move."
(21:02:37) Outlaw1 glances at Zatium "Sir"
(21:02:47) Silk nods then turns around
(21:03:11) Outlaw1 says: "Would you like help loosing her ? "
(21:03:22) Ellesmere says: I figure it ought to be only professional to do the slave-trade equivaelnt of putting her in a doggy bag.
(21:03:24) Auctioneer looks to Ellesmere "She's yours now, not our problem if she runs though"

The Rescue of Celeva
Full logs here:  The Rescue Of Celeva

Inside the Laanx dungeon, Melly is hiding above the spot where Celeva is being held..

Celeva lays awake, but with her eyes closed, peeking... waiting until LadyThug falls asleep. She struggles with her ropes and manages to free herself. Slowly, she gets up and makes her way towards the exit. Right above her, Mellas crouches low as she walks quietly. She jumps down in order to help Celeva out, but Auctioneer spots her and whacks her over the head with his staff. A little stunned, Mellas finds her chance to run away and seek help.

Auctioneer turns around to check on Celeva and runs into her. The nolthrir is shocked and lets out a small cry as Auctioneer sweeps her feet with his spear. She pleads with him to let her go, but he refuses and forces her back into the hole where she was previously stuffed.

Meanwhile...

Mellas finds Garosan and asks him for help. She explains that she saw three cloaked figures enter the Laanx dungeon the previous night and followed them. She also mentions that two of them were down there today guarding a Nolthrir girl. The two agree that they should go and help her. To avoid the clinking of his armor Garosan stick pieces of leather in between the plates.
They descend the hole in the rear of the temple.

Back into the dungeon

Now that Mellas knows their location, Auctioneer decides it would be better to move Celeva. He takes her with him, through the mines and up the spiral staircase. When he reaches the top, he suddenly turns around, watching... waiting...
Did he notice that Garosan and Mellas had been following him? Standing on the stairs right beneath him? Celeva's rescuers hold their breath, not moving a muscle. Auctioneer puts a blade to the girls neck, apparently ready to make his threats would anyone face him now. With Mellas and Garosan not responding, he drags Celeva with him to the green room, hiding on the right side, up the stairs.

Below the stairs in that same green room, Mellas and Garosan discuss their situation and search the area. When Mellas spots Auctioneer and his victim moving down, she runs over and hides with her ylian friend to prepare an atttack from behind. However... an opportunity never presents itself. They follow the two once again from a safe distance, towards the high tower, whispering, planning. Mellas asks Garosan to send his yulbar to Llyn, ensuring that someone knows what they know, should they fail.

It's a long climb up the stone and wooden stairs, but eventually, they reach the opening in the floor that leads to the top. Garosan makes an unfortunate step, taking a tumble down, while Mellas carefully checks the situation, not showing herself. Instead, she sneakily flies one of her daggers at Auctioneer, hitting him in the shoulder. The masked thug stumbles and pulls it out, grabbing Celeva to move her towards the edge.

"..let me go, or we'll both die!" Celeva cries out.

Auctioneer gets hit with another one of Mellas' daggers and stumbles backwards against the pillar, still holding Celeva tightly.  She struggles trying get free but to no avail.

Mellas' voice appears from below. "'No one has to be harmed... just let the girl go."

Celeva gasps at Auctioneer. "No! Please! There're other options!"

Mellas offers to heal the masked thug if he just lets Celeva go, but instead, he pulls her closer to the edge of the tower. He places the dagger to her neck and demands her ring - but she refuses and balls her hands into fists to prevent removal. Instead, Auctioneer makes her empty her pockets, taking anything of value. Celeva pleads with her captor not to take her ring. He ties her hands, stuffs a sack into her mouth and then pries it off anyway.

Taking advantage of Auctioneer's current distractions, Mellas drops her bag, keeping only what she needs most, and focuses on the crystal to summon three magic arrows, sending them after the thug. She jumps up out of the opening, running right after these arrows to attempt a jump over Celeva, on top of Auctioneer. The latter slides his arm around Celeva's neck, while trying to shake Mellas off. Feeling her moment of surprise leaving, the blonde nolthrir slashes the thug's leg with her sabre.

But then... he just gives up.

Auctioneer leaps from the tower pulling Celeva down with him. Mellas grabs at Celeva desperately trying to save her but the weight of the two is too much. Within seconds the three are smashed against the stone pavement leaving Garosan atop the tower staring angrily at the ground in pain. In all his honor... he follow his friends.

Inside the Death Realm

The three awaken in the death realm horrified and trembling. Celeva is still gagged and tied up. Her eyes widen as she feels the ropes being undone by Mellas. As Mellas examines Celeva for wounds Celeva expresses guilt and sorrow. Seeing that her ring is gone she cries bitterly. Mellas uses her magic to help console and heal her but its stength is reduced due to their location. Garosan builds a small fire and continues to console her.

Mellas leaves for a moment - heading towards a fond memory, a familiar spot in the death realm. She falls down and cries out Jacula's name. When she returns, Garosan and Celeva are sitting by the fire. It's time to leave this dark place...


Short summery of what happened after...

Garosan, Celeva and Mellas slowly find their way out way out of DR.
On the stairs [nolthrir spawning point], they meet up with Caira.
Caira took them to the tavern to rest, went to get something to help out, but didn't return.
Melly woke up from her short sleep in a frenzy, blaming herself for everything that happened.
Garosan, Alcarin and Joale chased her around town while she searched for Auctioneer [who was in the sewers].
They meet up with Celeva at the plaza, when Alcarin suddenly becomes ill. Mellas draines her last healing energy on him.
Celeva and Joale brought Alcarin and Melly to the sanatorium, where Alcarin mysteriously explained his situation.
Joale leaves. Mellas wakes up and tries to tiptoe away but got busted. Shortly after she receives a groffel note smeared with blood.
"Plaza Sewer Entrance. Need Help!"
Mellas and Alcarin head over to the sewer entrance where Joale comes out limping and bleeding. He explains what happened.
After slight healing, Alcarin stays behind to guard the sewer entrance while Joale and Mellas move on in search for Caira.
They find Caira and Eresmere. Mellas attacks, Eresmere escapes. Mellas chases Eresmere through the sewers until she loses track.
She finds Eresmere again, being healed by Voen on the tavern roof and eavesdrops in a room below.
Later Melly takes a seat in the tavern, staring at Eresmere. Eresmere comes over and they have a short talk.
Melly's moon glyph suddenly changes color and she lures the fenki to a silent spot, where she kills her.
Caira heard the fenki's shouts and understood what happened. They both fall asleep in front of the fireplace in the tavern...

The Attempted Conversion of Garosan
Full logs here: The Attempted Conversion of Garosan

In the plaza Vayl approaches Rigwyn from behind -surprising him innocently. Rigwyn jumps and seems somewhat on edge. In the course of light conversation Rigwyn discretely inquires about obtaining a potion and hints at an opportunity to make some tria in a not so honest way. Vayl offers to see what she can do and Rigwyn leaves unsure if she understood what he was suggesting.

A little later Rigwyn conspires with Auctioneer and Vayl and then heads down to the Laanx dungeon. He wears a red robe that he *found* in the Laanx temple which has a gold and emerald colored twist on the back. Over his face a vale that hides most of his features. After a long wait, Auctioneer shows up with Garosan. Rigwyn steps out from hiding and greets Garosan. He and Auctioneer attack him - attempting to knock him out. Mellas comes out of hiding and tries to aide Garosan flinging daggers  as she rushes forth but to no avail. During the struggle however Rigwyn accidentally drops a book which Mellas manages to snatch. Its titled "The way of Darkness - Giroum". The two are knocked unconscious, tied up and searched for weapons and glyphs. Rigwyn then mentions to Auctioneer that he is being paid well by Giroum to convert Garosan to Laanx-ism. The two are dragged down the spiral staircase and down a ladder. Garrosan is beaten and ordered to abandon Talad but he refuses. The beating continues and persuasion gets heavy but Garrosan valiantly withstands the failed attempt to convert him. Eventually Rigwyn threatens to kill Mellas if he does not convert. A small dagger laced with a paralyzing agent flies through the air and hits Rigwyn in the neck causing him to fall over. Auctioneer then shoves Mellas off the cliff. Auctioneer scolds Vayl for hitting Rigwyn instead of Garrosan however Vayl does not offer an explanation. He then struggles with Garrosan and Rigwyn continues to badger Garrosan about converting to Laanx. Auctioneer eventually flips him over the side of the cliff. He lands rather hard and bleeds heavily. Rigwyn rushes down and finds Garrosan laying in a pool of blood. He points a saber at his mouth and thrusts it in sending him off to Dakkru. Vayl offers to guard the exit as Rigwyn and Auctioneer search for Mellas however they eventually give up. It appears that either she has died from the fall or else she has found another way out. The three then leave the dungeon.

[Mordraugion]

a small suggestion if I may, stick with short summaries rather than posting lightly altered full logs that take forever to read

[MellasFenixxes]

Personally I prefer reading logs. 
They are standard, easy to understand, and require a lot less work to post. [and you get to know all the details <3 ]
Especially since I read both the logs and now the short summary, I can tell you the second is a lot more vague.
P.E. I find reading what was said between Vayl and Rigwyn for example far more interesting than the description of it.
[Sidenote: This is also the reason why I'm not really interested in reading Jaycol's RP event, miss the logs.]

Rigwyn's solution should indeed please all, so if these posts will become short summaries, I hope Riggy still decides to post the entire logs elsewhere.
[Btw, I can send you the logs of how Melly escaped with help too . The RP was great! You missed out on Auctioneer's creepy hunting act in the beginning xD My hair was standing on end!]

[Rigwyn]

[
Please PM the logs to me - I'll host them on http://sites.google.com/site/rigwynsetson/ as soon as time permits.
Same goes for anyone else who has rp'd off of this and would like to post related logs.
I'll continue to post summaries here.

A big thanks to Celeva and Mellas (and everyone else who partook ) for adding creative original twists to this. I am hoping that these crimes will help to continue to spur more opportunities for role play.

Stay tuned, there is much more in store ...

I have as much a right to voice my opinion as you, quit deleting my posts (or whoever is doing this)

I enjoy reading the actual logs. putting something like that into a short summary would be a pain. imo it's fine as it is, plus it's entertaining
