Then express an opinion instead of just being deliberately contradictory, we have pmed and my suggestion was not aimed at not posting the logs but adding something easier and quicker to read to each segment not reducing the whole post to a few lines.

Reflections
[ no logs for this summary - I dont want to give too much away ..  yet ..  ]

A cloaked Diaboli rushes though a corridor - boots splashing filth about. He stops and looks around cautiously.. then enters his sanctuary and enters a room full of books some written in ink, some in blood. He meets a member of his faith one who he has seen many times before not knowing all along that this one was of the same fold. They introduce and then conspire to commit an unthinkable deed. The fellow practitioner departs with haste.
 
The Diaboli paced about thoughtfully and then stood by a crackling brazier watching the shadows dance about the room and lick the walls, He recalled the fellow he had met in that same spot days ago. A much older and perhaps wiser follower. A whisper had emerged from their hearts that day and gave birth to an evil plan. The plan begot action but was it still alive and taking root?  I must check he thought. We must not fail.

Then express an opinion instead of just being deliberately contradictory

that's a bit mean, don't you think? I can have opinions too, whether you like it or not, and they can be the opposite of yours. I am my own person after all kthxbai

anyway, Rigwyn, when did that summary take place? that the beginning?

[Rigwyn]

@ Sarras - The first meeting occurs after the attempted conversion of Garosan. The second - the one that the Diaboli recalls by the brazier is deliberately left obscure for now. It may be revealed later on

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

Rigwyn is wandering though Hydlaa when he feels something tugging at his leg. He looks down and notices a groffel with a note tucked in his collar. He pulls it out and reads it.  "Got you a present. Meet me near the burial well and wear a hood. -The menki."  With a grin he tucks it into his boot and then sends the groffel off.

He ventures off towards the howling well and runs into a heavily cloaked Menki. Uncertain if this is the one he intends to meet he says "I'm in search of presents." The thug nods and motions for him to follow. Moments later they arrive at a tied up Nolthrir laying in the grass. Its the same one that he had auctioned days earlier in the sewers while wearing a different disguise.

Rigwyn approaches the Nolthrir wearing an ankle length red robe with a vale sewn on the inside of the hood hiding his face. The back of the robe has an emerald and gold twist identical to the one seen inside the Laanx temple. He asks her what god she worships only to learn that she worships Xiosia. He motions to Thug1 to hold off on marking her and then proceeds to attempt to convert her to Laanx-ism.

(22:32:40) Rigwyn grabs Caira and shouts "Turn your back on Xiosia or die !"
(22:32:57) Rigwyn says: "There is no Xiosia here to help you !"
(22:33:19) Caira flinches, her skin crawling at Rigwyn's touch. "Urgh! Take your hands off me! Joale! JOALE!"
(22:33:32) Caira struggles. "Mellas! ANYONE!"
(22:34:22) Rigwyn attempts to slap Caira accross her face. "Your new god is Laanx! Only Laanx can save you now"
(22:34:22) Thug1 growls "Muffle her. I will give her something she will never forget"
(22:34:53) Rigwyn says: "I want her to woship Laanx first... She must be converted"
(22:35:29) Caira gasps and her cheek is struck again, gritting her teeth together. She looks to Rigwyn, shaking her head. "Dannae! DANNAE!"
(22:36:36) Rigwyn attempts to punch Caira in the nose. "You will worship Laanx. Xiosia will not save you"
(22:37:54) Caira gasps, her head tilting back with a crunch. She closes her eyes, holding back her cries. "Laanx is a masked god, and I don't believe in it. I believe in my friends. And when they find you, your going to WISH you killed me INSTANTLY."
(22:39:30) Rigwyn looks at Thug1, "She will not repent. I think we should tear her body apart until she worships Laanx"
(22:40:52) Caira's eyes widen.

The conversion was a failure. She is a devout follower of Xiosia indeed. Rigywn yields to Thug1 who instructs Rigwyn to flip her over and hold her down. Caira's face is shoved into the grass as she's held down and Thug1 takes out a knife and carves the word "PENANCE" into her back. Another attempt is made to convert her to Laanxism.

(22:46:59) Rigwyn says: "Open your heart to Laanx .. she's a woman like yourself"
(22:47:07) Rigwyn says: "She knows pain and suffering"
(22:48:03) Rigwyn says: "She too was harmed by man. Accept Laanx or we burry you up to your head and cover you in grass"
(22:48:11) Caira grits her teeth, taking shallow breaths. "She gave up her femininity eons ago, you pig. She gave up all humanity she had left, all compassion."
(22:48:40) Rigwyn sighs and turns to Thug1, "What do you think .. bury her alive or kill her ? "
(22:48:54) Rigwyn says: "I don't think she will repent"
(22:49:07) Caira shakes her head, biting her tongue against another cry, listening with wide eyes to what will become of her.
(22:49:40) Thug1 puts the dagger to Caira's throat "Last chance...renounce Xiosia or meet Dakkru?"
(22:50:13) Rigwyn says: "Only Laanx can save you now .. Turn you back on Xiosia"
(22:50:56) Caira snarls, shaking her head. "May Xiosia have mercy on yours souls."
(22:51:24) Caira murmurs quietly, "I love you, Joale."
(22:51:25) Thug1 looks to Rigwyn "Shall I?"
(22:51:33) Rigwyn nods silently
(22:51:51) Rigwyn says: "Laanx will not have her."
(22:52:08) Caira repeats the list of her friends, closing her eyes. "Dannae, Mellas, Tinwei, Timmothy. Havuik. Stashka. Ela."

Thug1 then sends her off to Dakkru. She passes away painfully choosing to remain faithful to Xiosia in the face of death. Rigwyn attempts to loot her carcass for money and goods but fails. Thug1 says to Rigwyn "That will teach her to interfere with a robbery". Rigwyn inquires about the Robbery that Thug1 is concerned about.  He asks if there were any other people involved. Thug1 replies with a list of names, A Menki named Alliva and a girl named Tinwei. They agree that these people should be watched.

Before leaving Rigwyn mentions that Giroum will need to be informed that the Nolthrir failed to convert to Laanx. With a nod the two part going their separate ways, one heads out for a good stiff drink while the other moves on to attend some unfinished business matters.

A day Later Rigywn dons his Red cloak and sneaks over to the Hydlaa message board. He leaves a message and then skitters off.

The Kidnapping of Giroum - A Laanx Priest (Devotee)
Full logs here: The kidnapping of Giroum - A Laanx Priest


Rigwyn disguises himself in a an old raggedy pair of clothes that he finds on a clothes line in an alley.  He takes some bed sheets and a burlap sack and puts them into his bag. He then heads over to the Laanx temple and walks to a spot close to the rear of the temple where he kneels down with a cloth draped over his head and pretends to grieve. Giroum approaches him to inquire about his grieving. He consoles him and the two meet. During the course of discussion Rigwyn mentions that his wife has died and had asked him to make an offering to Laanx on her behalf.  A Fenki walks in and observes the discussion but seems somewhat uninterested in their 'religious crap'. Giroum shows him to the rear of the temple and tells him how to make an offering. He asked Rigwyn if he has something that he would like to toss in as an offering.  Rigwyn nods and makes his way up the stops to the top of the opening with Giroum. He makes a mock attempt at a prayer - careful not to pray to Laanx, and then he shoves Giroum in.

Giroum falls in and hits his head against the opening. His helmet files off and his body falls in. He hits the floor losing consciousness.  Rigwyn and Sally jump down after him. They stuff a sack into giroum's mouth and and gag him with a strip of cloth. They then proceed to drag Giroum deep into the dungeon.

Little do they know Mellas has caught on and is searching for them.

They drag Giroum down to the mines at the bottom of the spiral staircase but then notice that there are people down there. Not wanting to attract attention they go back up and then descend down to the ruined floor.  As then enter Sally notices an elf (Mellas) run by. She motions for Rigwyn to wait and then Sally moves out to create a diversion. She sends a message back to Rigwyn via her groffel indicating where Mellas  is. Taking this queue Rigwyn drags Giroum's body to another spot. He looks at Giroum carefully to see if he is still awake and then smacks him on the head with a stone just to be safe. He lays him against the corner of the floor and wall behind a pillar and then robs him blind. He walks away with a golden sword, a named sword,  a silver Falchion, some glyphs, a silver ingot, and close to 6,000 tria. He then runs back and pulls a pair of radiance rings off Giroum's hands before skittering off into the shadows.

Later on he meets Sally and another acquaintance over by the magic shop., She tells him about the small mob that she had encountered. They suspected that she was involved in the abduction and were not happy. Fortunately she was able to convince them of her innocence and avoid disembowelment. Rigwyn and then Sally spit the looked money and goods . He hands Sally half of the money, a golden sabre and a pair of radiance rings. After some idle conversation with the two he looks around and then dashes off.

[Zephan]

Emerging from the Winch after another visit to their home village, the Dermorian huntsman Zephan Cystennin left his Nolthrir wife Calluna to rest while he set off to visit the Iron Temple, as he strived to make his habit each time he was in Hydlaa. He trotted up to the city messageboard, scanning the new postings. Then he came across one that made his blood run cold.

Beaten senseless... by Laanx priests... torture and abuse... Giroum...?

The words strung together in the paragraph twisted and turned in his mind, his vision beginning to darken. Not a few days ago, Mellas Fenixxes had shown Zephan a book Giroum allegedly wrote, 'The Way of True Darkness', and this had angered the young Dermorian. After what Giroum had helped him to understand about Laanx... no, Zephan would not believe it. He could not.

His thoughts and eyesight beginning to swim, Zephan rushed madly towards the Temple, but before he reached the steps he spotted a familiar young dwarfess in the middle of the plaza. She was trembling and holding a familiar-looking holy helm in her small hands. Alce Martlet.

Though this was only the second time that Zephan had crossed paths with the Laanx devotee, she would not be easy for him to forget. She was there when Zephan first met the Lemur priest Giroum Duphra in the Temple of Laanx... and their openness had drawn his curiosity closer to the mysterious Masked Lord. Where is Giroum? he asked Alce, and she pointed him to the Temple, telling him of a Diaboli and a fenki who pushed Giroum down the well, Mellas following suit. At that very moment, Garosan Ringe of the Brotherhood of Talad appeared on the scene. Though his current chosen path was at odds with his friend, Zephan knew Garosan was one he could count on to help. The three of them descended down towards the dungeons beneath the Iron Temple.

They split up, Garosan and Alce setting off to search the Windowless Tower, and Zephan running in the opposite direction. Before he could descend towards Zak's lair, he heard voices, and entered the vast room of columns, following his hearing towards the set of stairs on the right.

At the top of the steps he saw a cloaked figure, and Mellas, talking. Garosan and Alce soon appeared behind Zephan, but as they could see no aggression between Mellas and the cloaked one, they emerged from the shadows of the staircase. The figure in the cloak jumped back, surprised, drawing a galkard. It was a fenki.

Alce immediately reacted, recognizing the fenki. However, the fenki - later introduced by Mellas as 'Morila' - reasoned she feared for the priest's life and offered to help his Diaboli attacker. The tension lessened, though did not disappear. Morila stayed behind as the rest of the group agreed to search Zak's lair and ask the rogue if he had seen anything.

Garosan mentioned he didn't trust the fenki, as they descended without her into the mining tunnels deep below the Temple.

Zak had no information to provide, unfortunately. The present search proving fruitless, Alce looked up to the rest and said she wasn't going to give up. Snapping out of his deep thoughts, Zephan heard Mellas promise to help searching. No, Zephan certainly wasn't going to give up on Giroum at all, either. Not after all he'd done for him. Giroum didn't deserve this.

The group parted ways, for the moment.

Zephan went back to Calluna and told her all that happened. Bidding her to stay safe where she was, he headed to the Eagle Bronze Doors and sought the young Xacha mage Sysial Shillor. Gaze cold as ice, Zephan held his Azure Way glyphs in his hands as he faced his new trainer. He knew he didn't have much time, but he had to prepare, somehow.

Smelting Oil
Full Logs  Smelting Oil

A few days later Rigywn gets an idea. He head off to the arena and begins slaughtering Tefusangs and collecting lard. After getting a significant sized wad he rushes off to the arena kitchen where he attemps to *smelt* it into oil. His metalurgy skills are of no use and he fails miserably. Just as he is about to complain about the stove being broken he is interrupted by Celeva who kindly offers to help. With a little effort and the retrieval of a spoon Celeva melts a batch of hot cooking oil. Rigwyn expresses his gratitude and leaves.

The Auctioning of Giroum - A Laanx Priest

Full Logs:  The Auctioning of Giroum - A Laanx Priest

I strongly recommend reading the logs for the full story instead of the summary as the logs render the story much better. For those who just want a quick overview the summary is below. Much detail is left out of the summary in order to keep it brief.

A week later Rigwyn sneaks back into the Laanx dungeon. He meets an acquaintance there. They have a brief discussion about the Lemur and then go about their separate ways. Rigwyn then puts on his red Laanx priest cloak and covers his face with a semi-transparent vale thats sewn into the inside of the hood. He searches for Giroum and finds him just where he left him. Still bound and laying upon the floor of the dungeon. He examines Giroum and checks for signs of dehydration. He then tosses Giroum a piece of rotten meat and a small piece of pie. Giroum is starving and wolfs the food down only to puke it back up. Apparently the rotten meat was not easy to keep down. He sends a groffel out with a note anouncing the auction of Giroum. Jacula appears cloaked in a filthy robe. After some brief talk Rigwyn realizes that his is his only bidder. This will be a tough auction. They take Giroum up stairs to the base of the tower where they set him down.  Giroum begins to chant a prayer as Rigwyn and Jacula begin to negotiate a fair price for the Lemur. Giroum continues to chant despite interruptions, mocking, and being kicked. The Prayer of Giroum: Forged over the hard hearts of the spurners With the molten metal of the faithful and the skilled hammer strikes of the soulful Laanx`s book of names hath called for its priests. Tend now to the chaos in the crystal Let his mighty name ring forth in echoes and scatter his enemies in death throes while awaiting converts at each portal. For Laanx, highest lord of Yliakum hath made a home of this cold lifeless stone and brought souls from the Azure Sun Let none question the lessons of the crystal`s hum. And let us pass in passion the messages Marked out for us each in Laanx`s passages Some rise by sin....others by their virtue fall.

Rigwyn starts by offering the Lemur for 100,000 tria but Jacual does not bite. The price for Giroum gradually falls to 25,000 and eventually Rigwyn gives up on trying to sell him.  At this rate he might as well use use Giroum for his own amusement. He then dumps a sack of cooking oil over Giroum's bagged head and lights him on fire. As Rigwyn and Jacula gaze upon the blaze and laugh at the burning priest a pair of daggers fly though the air. One hits Rigwyn between the neck and shoulder blade. He shouts in pain and the two turn only to find Mellas and Garosan behind them. Rigwyn pulls out the dagger as Jacula darts for Garosan and raises his axe high. Meanwhile Mellas rushes towards Giroum to help while keeping a sabre pointed at Rigwyn. Giroum is franticly trying to pat out the grease fire as he roasts. Not wanting to harm Mellas, Rigywn raises a sword at her and tries to scare her off .. but to no avail. Mellas continues to try to put out the fire as Jacula and Garosan continue to battle. She shouts at Rigwyn "BACK OFF!". Oddly Rigwyn turns away and casts "Taste of Death on Garosan". This spell hits but has little effect. With a little effort Mellas manages to cut Giroum loose with her sabre.  Rigwyn beings to swing at Garosan but is knocked forward into him as Mellas shoves him from behind - apparently trying to escape with Giroum. Garosan points his claymore at Rigwyn's abdomen and Rigwyn is slammed into it. He is impaled and falls to the floor where he bleeds profusely. Garosan searches his body and finds a number of items, some swords, glyphs, Giroum's staff and other trinkets. Giroum takes his opportunity to run for help. He runs to the plaza shouting for help and catches the attention of Merivo and Ereressel who quickly run to the base of the tower to assist. Giroum follows them back up to the tower base despite the pain in his badly burnt legs. Mellas then attempts to heal Rigwyn as Jacual tries to escape while trying to fight off Merivo, Haart  and Ereressel.  She uncloaks him and discovers the identity of the Diaboli in the red cloak. Mellas gasps when she recognizes Rigwyn, breaking her healing spells in shock. 'R... Rig..' she starts, before closing her eyes tightly. 'Why?' Rigwyn's eyes open wide staring into Mellas's eyes.. he begins to speak but then becomes faint. Rigwyn passes away and Mellas terminates her healing spell sensing that he is dead.

Jacula continues to fight off Merivo, Haart and Ereressel and somehow manages to escape.

Mellas takes Giruom to the sanatorium where she tends to his wounds and feeds him. Giroum expresses his gratitude for Mellas and Garosan's help.

(01:12:08) >Giroum Duphra takes a seat by Hydlaa Sanatorium.
(01:12:55) Giroum eases himself onto a bed with a long sigh and a pained expression
(01:13:23) Mellas supports Giroum to one of the beds and sits beside him. 'Here's some more water and fish.. I don't have much else on me,' she sighs and looks over his wounds.
(01:13:40) Giroum smiles and shakes his head
(01:13:59) Giroum says: If it weren't for you and....that man...I would be dead now....if not permanently.
(01:14:19) >Mellas gave Giroum a Water Pouch and 3 Fish.
(01:14:40) Giroum accepts the food and eats ravenously
(01:14:53) Mellas says: Garosan, he is a brave warrior. I'm glad to see you again, Giroum. Alce, Zephan and I were so worried!
(01:15:30) Giroum says: Garosan, you say? I shall have to thank him when next we meet...and I must send word to Alce, poor girl...and Zephan too.
(01:15:38) Mellas smiles at the priest. 'Why don't you rest as I work on your burn wounds?'
(01:15:51) Giroum says: I cannot thank you enough, Mellas. You are always in the right place at the right time...a rare gift.
(01:16:57) Mellas shakes her head and chuckles. 'Not always a gift, but if it helps my friends, then yes. I am grateful.'

Yeah... Hmph... Somehow that blond fishelf always manages to be in the wrong place at the wrong time 
The do-gooders may have had their victory for now .. But we'll see what sort of rottenness the future brings in.

[ Thanks to all who participated in this RP. I had a great time with it. If you have any additional logs, summaries, photos or comments please feel free to add them. I know there are one or two events that did not get added yet. I'm also holding back on a few dialogs so as not to spoil the "A Flame Rekindled" RP event which is still progressing. I may tack them on at the end once its finished. ]

[Thidin]

[Sorry I couldn't make it for the auctioning of Giroum. I tried as hard as I could but there was no way I could be there.]

[Sarras Volcae]

[figured I should try my hand at posting a log. I believe this occurred before the kidnapping of Giroum, I'm not sure]

Sarras, a young dermorian, is ordered by Havuik to babysit Tinwei at the tavern while he and volunteers patrol the sewers. After Tinwei heads home, Sarras feels she has to prove herself and searches for Havuik in the sewers. Her search fruitless, she resurfaces at the opposite entrance near the gate.

(19:20:19) Sarras shouts: Havuik!
(19:23:40) Sarras says: Oh, hi.
(19:24:27) Thidin turns around
(19:24:47) Shangshi smiles at Thidin and shakes his head slightly and then looks to Sarras "Hello again."
(19:25:11) Sarras glances behind her. "Oh, sorry... Just looking for someone"
(19:25:32) Thidin narrows her eyes "In the sewers?"
(19:25:49) Sarras nods. "Yes, Havuik and Elady."
(19:26:16) Shangshi nods his head back "They were with us, but have gone on already."
(19:26:33) Sarras says: Gone where?
(19:26:43) Shangshi shrugs "They didnt say."
(19:26:52) Sarras says: They came from the sewers?
(19:27:10) Shangshi nods "Yep, we all did."
(19:27:31) Sarras smiles and walks away. "Thanks"
(19:28:02) Baddie sneaks up behind Sarras
(19:28:18) Sarras does not notice Baddie as she looks around for Havuik.
(19:28:31) Baddie takes his staff in two hands and swings it at Sarras's feet
(19:29:17) Sarras falls flat on her face.
(19:29:22) Sarras shouts: Ow!
(19:29:23) >Sarras Volcae takes a seat.
(19:29:42) Baddie closes his fist and swings it at Sarras's face, trying to knock her out
(19:29:56) Havuik shouts: Sarras?
(19:30:10) Sarras immediately goes limp.
(19:31:02) Baddie attempts to pick Sarras up and throw her over his shoulder
(19:31:23) Sarras does not resist, completely unconscious.
(19:31:26) >Sarras Volcae stands up.
(19:31:43) Baddie grins taking out a charmflower and dropping it. He runs off
(19:31:48) >Baddie dropped a Charmflower.
(19:31:50) Sacho looks over at the Diaboli. "Is she alright?"

Baddie carries Sarras into the sewers.

(19:33:38) Baddie sets Sarras down and looks to see if he was followed
(19:33:47) >Sarras Volcae takes a seat.
(19:34:16) Baddie waits around the corner with his staff ready
(19:34:39) Sarras remains unconscious.
(19:35:12) Baddie prepares to cast Taste of Death on Garosan
(19:35:26) Garosan throws a gobble ear at the figure
(19:35:53) Baddie chuckles as he swings his staff out in front of him "You again? When will you learn!"
(19:36:25) Garosan chuckles as the wood staff hits his armor "And when will you learn im a tin can!"
(19:36:50) Baddie chuckles and tries to cast Taste of Death on Garosan again
(19:37:26) Garosan steps back as the spell hits him
(19:37:44) Garosan says: We will stop you.
(19:37:54) Baddie grins and moves over to Sarras, pulling a dagger out "Go get your friends then"
(19:38:40) Garosan says: You would never last with out those daggers
(19:38:53) Baddie moves the dagger to Sarras's neck "You wish for me to kill her"
(19:38:54) >Baddie takes a seat.
(19:38:59) Sarras comes to, her face to the grimy floor. She looks around without moving at all, then shuts her eyes to pretend she is still unconscious.
(19:39:35) Garosan says: And what do you plan to do with her!?
(19:39:58) Baddie frowns "Same I did with the others"
(19:40:24) Garosan says: Kill them?
(19:41:44) Baddie chuckles "No, I sell them to people"
(19:42:43) Garosan says: You will never get away with this.
(19:42:51) Fenki says: RUN!
(19:42:55) Fenki says: They are coming.
(19:42:58) Fenki runs off
(19:42:58) Baddie frowns and hears Fenki
(19:43:21) Garosan wonders who they is.
(19:43:25) Fenki tries to grab Baddie, pulling him back
(19:43:25) Baddie looks at Garosan "Back off or she dies!"
(19:43:29) >Baddie stands up.
(19:43:41) Garosan summons Ibanic
(19:44:01) Fenki says: Come on you idiot!
(19:44:14) Havuik shouts: stop!
(19:44:19) Garosan says: Come Ibanic.
(19:44:48) Baddie holds the dagger to Sarras's neck "Stop! OR she dies!"
(19:45:10) Sacho looks at Havuik. "The fenki?"
(19:45:12) Havuik raises his sheild and looks at Baddie "What do you want?"
(19:45:17) Havuik nods
(19:46:45) Baddie sighs holding the dagger to Sarras's neck, he tries to pick her up
(19:47:18) Sarras is picked up.
(19:47:18) Havuik raises his sword "Easy now"
(19:47:21) Garosan says: Drop her....
(19:48:09) Baddie snaps "Back off!"
(19:48:13) Garosan says: I said drop her!
(19:48:55) Havuik watches Baddie and waves Garosan away
(19:49:46) Havuik says: Come on, nobody has to die now
(19:49:55) Garosan begins to speak louder "I said drop her!"
(19:49:58) Baddie frowns "Then let me get out of here"
(19:50:30) Baddie glares at Garosan "You want her dead?"
(19:50:59) Havuik takes a step closer "Relax. No one has to get hurt"
(19:50:59) >Sarras Volcae stands up.
(19:51:27) Baddie side steps, trying to move Sarras over with him. His dagger stil lat her neck
(19:51:27) Fenki crosses her arms "What is going on?"
(19:51:36) Garosan says: You want your consort dead!?
(19:52:41) Havuik looks at Fenki and then at Baddie "What do you want?"
(19:52:48) Fenki looks at Havuik "What is going on?"
(19:53:10) Havuik points his sword at Baddie
(19:54:11) Havuik takes a step closer
(19:54:19) Garosan holds his claymore in ready position
(19:54:22) Havuik says: Just let the girl go
(19:54:41) Baddie tries to caste Taste of Death on Garosan again
(19:54:46) Sarras dares not move her head, her hands at her sides.
(19:55:30) Garosan laughs as the spell hits him, I do not fear death!"
(19:55:43) Fenki looks at Baddie then to Havuik "I don't think he is going to let her go, alive... Make a deal with him."
(19:56:01) Havuik frowns "How much?"
(19:56:06) Elady says: Greetings Sacho.
(19:56:10) Sarras blurts out, "But I'd really like to live!"
(19:56:10) Elady says: What is up?
(19:56:30) Sacho looks over at Elady and answers quietly. "Hello."
(19:56:38) Fenki shakes her head "I... I don't know."
(19:56:42) Baddie chuckles "I want to walk too"
(19:56:53) Garosan says: You kill her and i you will not be walking out.
(19:57:22) Fenki looks to Havuik "Let him go.... You have to."
(19:57:47) Sarras blinks in disbelief at Fenki. "What?!"
(19:57:50) Havuik thinks for a moment "Fine. Garosan move out of his way"
(19:57:56) Garosan seems slightly calmer "Now let her go."
(19:57:58) Baddie grins
(19:58:23) Fenki looks at Sarras "It is the only option."
(19:58:36) Havuik nods, staring at Baddie "You get to leave we get Sarras back unscarred"
(19:58:47) Sarras says: B-but...
(19:58:52) Baddie looks at Garosan, waiting
(19:59:19) Garosan stands obstinatly still.
(19:59:19) Havuik steps closer, his shield up and ready to charge at Baddie
(19:59:33) Baddie shouts: Back off or she dies!
(19:59:34) Fenki looks at Havuik "Don't.."
(20:00:17) Garosan shouts "You will bever get away with this! Never!"
(20:00:57) Sarras looks at Garosan through the corner of her eyes. "Move!"
(20:01:17) Fenki looks at Havuik "Let him go the other way if he won't move.
(20:01:27) Elady looks at Sarras " Are you sure what he has planned for you isn't worse than death?"
(20:01:31) Havuik sighs and steps to the side
(20:01:36) Garosan looks like his either on the edge of lashing out or backing down
(20:02:07) Sarras says: Well d-death is pretty bad.
(20:02:13) Baddie pulls Sarras over with him
(20:02:22) Elady says: There are worse things sister.
(20:02:29) Baddie looks around before shoving Sarras into Havuik and running
(20:02:30) Sarras grunts.
(20:02:59) Sarras stumbles forward, hitting Havuik. "oof!"
(20:03:25) Fenki looks down "Anyone know who that was?"
(20:03:31) Havuik catches Sarras, alsmot falling himself "You alright?"
(20:03:42) Sacho walks up to Havuik. "I am sorry. I could not find the way the other went."
(20:04:28) Fenki turns around "I'm going to find him"
(20:04:48) Elady says: I'll go search myself.
(20:04:56) Havuik looks around "Hold on!"
(20:05:00) Sarras stands straight and rubs her jaw. "Sorry, sir."
(20:05:50) Havuik looks at Sarras concerned "Are you alright?"
(20:06:22) Sarras nods. "Yes sir, I'm fine. Only knocked out."
(20:07:15) Havuik frowns and looks to Sacho "Thank you tabei for helping"
(20:08:20) Havuik looks to Sarras "Where's Tinwei?!"
(20:08:38) Sacho half frowns. "I didn't do much. Couldn't even track down the person you sent me after. I hope I maybe more useful next time."
(20:09:01) Sarras turns to Sacho. "Thank you." She turns back to Havuik. "Home, she went home."
(20:09:42) Havuik sighs with relief "Good, so she is safe for now. Let's get you out of this place then"
(20:10:08) Sarras says: Shouldn't we, um, help the others?
(20:11:27) Havuik looks over Sarras "First I need to make sure you are okay and out of this place. I had a Captain patrolling the entrance to the sewers earlier. Hope he ran into the thug
(20:11:51) Sarras nods. "All right."
(20:11:53) Havuik sees a groffel run up to him. He takes the note it has and reads it
(20:12:03) Sacho looks at Sarras. "Why did he take you?"
(20:12:48) Havuik frowns and looks to Sacho and Sarras "They are in the dungeon I must guard the exit!"
(20:12:52) Sarras shrugs. "Probably wanted to auction me or something."
(20:13:07) Havuik says: Let's go. With haste!
(20:13:13) Sacho shakes his head.
(20:15:55) Sarras says: Elady, what happened?
(20:16:58) Sarras runs up to Havuik and glances at the exit.
(20:16:59) Havuik sighs
(20:17:39) Elady says: Guess you have had no luck also
(20:17:58) Sarras says: Havuik says he's in the dungeon.
(20:18:23) Havuik nods "I have a captain who followed him. Sent me a groffel. I can only hope he's alright"
(20:18:43) Elady says: Guess I could use a trip to the dungeon then.
(20:19:03) Sacho looks at Havuik. "So what exactly is your plan if you catch him here?"
(20:19:27) Havuik sighs and looks around
(20:20:47) Hevore looks down and lets out a long sigh, sheathing his longsword.
(20:20:55) Hevore says: He killed himself.
(20:21:19) Sarras's mouth gapes. "What?"
(20:21:37) >Havuik Keleiw salutes Hevore Tefarey with respect.
(20:21:48) Havuik sighs "It's alright. You did good Captain, thank you"
(20:22:02) Hevore says: Whoever that man was.. he ran out of the sewers and ran into the dungeon when I confronted him. He jumped to his death after we began to fight.
(20:22:17) Sacho says: 0
(20:22:39) Hevore gives a slight salute to Havuik, breathing heavily
(20:22:52) Sarras utters, "Coward...."
(20:23:10) Havuik nods "Sounds like him. Rather die than be cuaght"
(20:23:29) Hevore says: Sir... he said you're a dead man.
(20:23:45) Havuik frowns
(20:24:06) Havuik shakes his head "He's a sly one. Going after people to get to me"
(20:25:01) Sacho says: If I may ask, what does he want?
(20:25:17) Elady says: Yes exactly what happened?
(20:25:30) Havuik shrugs "I don't know. Tria probably. But I do know that he leaves behind charmflowers one his victims to tell me that it is him"
(20:26:06) Sarras shrugs. "He knocked me down, I think with his staff, then hit me in the face. Don't remember much after that, but I woke up in the sewers."
(20:26:45) Havuik frowns "Let's get someone to check you out then"
(20:26:51) Havuik says: Make sure you're all right"
(20:27:39) Sarras rubs her chin. "I'm fine, he only knocked me out."
(20:28:30) Havuik frowns and sighs looking around "Well thank you everyone. I suppose we should head to someplace safe for now. I've had a long day"
(20:28:55) Sarras says: Sorry for the trouble sir, I should have been paying attention.
(20:29:20) Hevore says: Ma'am.. dont appologize, anyone can fall victim to a coward's attack.
(20:29:29) Havuik shakes his head "Don't worry Sarras. I'm just glad you and Tinwei aren't hurt. I should go check on her anyways"
(20:29:43) Elady says: This has been happening to often. THe people behind this must be caught.
(20:29:54) Sarras nods, looking down.
(20:30:10) Hevore nods to Elady "It seems they are getting more desperate.. more violent if you will."
(20:30:43) Sacho says: Have they killed anyone?
(20:30:48) Havuik nods
(20:30:51) Havuik says: I believe so
(20:31:12) Havuik looks around "Actually I think that Ylian was taken once"
(20:31:41) Sarras says: Garosan?
(20:31:48) Elady gives Havuik a serious look. " If one of those people has a knife to my throat and you have a chance to capture him I tell you know capturing him is more important than my life.
(20:32:40) Havuik frowns and shakes his head "If we sacrafice lives for there imprisonment then that is no victory at all"
(20:33:26) Elady says: No Havilk as I said before there are things worst than death. Like living in fear that you will be the next victim.
(20:34:11) Hevore stands silently, listening to the conversation
(20:34:29) Havuik frowns "Aye. We will stop these people"
(20:34:29) Sacho's ears lower. "It wouldn't have been needed, if I had figured out what was occuring before he had taken her.""
(20:34:48) Havuik looks at Sacho "No one is to blame here"
(20:35:10) Sarras seems to be thinking in silence, then raises a hand. "I still think we should ambush him!"
(20:35:15) Hevore raises his eyebrows slightly
(20:35:36) Havuik sighs "Now I must get going. I will check up on all of you later"
(20:36:00) Sacho nods. "Take care."

Everyone left discusses how to capture the kidnapper. Not soon after, they depart to get some rest. The end!

Memories

Rigwyn steps slowly through the death realm still in shock from his unexpected death. He wanders around the back of the exit portal, climbs an old familair chain and perches himself atop a large stone surface. Peering into the distance he begins to reflect. Images begin to flow though his mind - each memory with its own set of feelings, smells, and sounds.  He sees his adoptive father Izalox entering the house and slamming the door behind him. Zalloh cringes but then approaches him with hands out stretched as if to embrace him. The Lemur grabs a fist full of her blond hair and swings her head launching her into the wall. Pots, pans and utencils fall making a loud clamoring din. Izalox's voice overpowers the ruckus as he shouts at Zalloh "I told you Shaven doesnt know squat about Laanx. You will woship my way only !"  Rigwyn holds his ears as if to block the memory out. An image of Mellas follows. She strokes Rigwyn's head casting a healing spell that soothes his mind for a moment. Her eyes convey confidence, belief, hope. The healing touch feels unusually clean and has a sensation similar to energy but it moves like water. Rigwyn opens is eyes horrified looking up though a layer of water at Zalloh. As he screams he sees bubbles float form his mouth and away, and Zalloh's hands around his neck choking him and banging his head against the bottom. Next Caira laying on the emerald green grass by the howling well bound and screaming for help as a crimson stream flows from her back and onto the grass. The colors clash painfully. The tan ropes wrapped around her greenish flesh creak and groan as he bellows  "Laanx is your new god !" . Next an image of Giroum screaming and burning to death on the flagstone floor as Mellas tries to muffle the flames. He smiles and begins to laugh recalling the stench of burnt flesh and the sound of Giroum's annoying Lemur voice. Next he sees Zalloh trying to silence Izalox as he rages about her inability to follow instructions. He beats her and shouts  "May the master strike you down you worthless Demorian we.." A Carakas flies by and brushes against Rigwyn knocking him off his perch. He awakens from his stream of memories and breaks into a scream as he feels his body falling into the abyss. Instinctively he reaches out with his hands and legs as if to grab something. His legs move rapidly as if running, and his arms flail as if swimming. He runs out of breath and can no longer scream. As he begins to inhale as he hits the Death Realm floor with a loud thud that resembles a crunch and a splatter. He lays there in extreme pain and broken and unable to move but not quite dead yet. Wrath rats slowly approach his carcass as they sniff and squeak. He dreads the gnawing and tearing that he will soon endure and begins to wish for death and thus another chance at life. "Be patient" he thinks to himself. "This too shall come to pass."

Revenge !


Rigywn is laying on the grass near the Sanitorium. He is tired and sick from a disease that he had caught. Along comes a Nolthrir elf cloaked in a pine needle green cloak. Her face is carefully concealed

(06:43:31) Rigwyn leans back against the tent tired and weak.
(06:44:30) Caira grabs him by his deadlocks, tilting his head up towards hers. "Hello there Rigwyn. Whatcha up to?"
(06:46:48) Rigwyn leaps upward swinging his fist at Caira's abdomen with a loud grunt.
(06:47:24) Caira steps aside, swinging her left leg at his gut. "Tsk, tsk. Such manners! We'll have to work on that."
(06:48:37) Rigwyn spits in Caria's direction and shouts "What's this ? Who do you think you are ?"
(06:48:44) >Rigwyn Setson stands up.
(06:50:31) Caira juts her chin out, side-stepping the gesture with a withdrawn expression. "Goodness, your manners /have/ gone to the gutters. Whats next? Giving up bathing? Scratching your crotch in public?" She kicks at his knee, trying to catch him off guard.
(06:52:16) Rigwyn falls over having been caught by surprise and shouts, "Wench ! "
(06:52:18) >Rigwyn Setson takes a seat by Caira Monteverte.
(06:53:47) Caira aims a kick at his stomach. "Thats meee! And I hate to tell you this, I really do. But i'm not a happy little wench, Riggly. I can call you Riggly, can't I? I'm just not content."
(06:54:15) Rigwyn attempts to grab Caira's foot.
(06:55:34) Caira curses under her breath, struggling to her leg out of his grip as she bends down, trying to grab him by his dreadlocks.
(06:56:51) Rigwyn attempts to twist Caira 's leg hard enough to dislocate it.
(06:58:02) Caira cries out as her leg makes a small *snap*, her free hand reaching for her glyph sack.
(06:59:49) Rigwyn stands up and attempts to kick Caira in the face.
(07:00:34) Caira catches his leg, shifting her weight to her good foot and she snarls, trying to rake her fingernails down his face.
(07:01:28) Rigwyn holds his hands over his face for a moment and shouts.
(07:01:41) Rigwyn says: "You stupid fishelf !"
(07:03:01) Caira makes a face, pulling out a dagger and throwing it as his right leg. "No, silly! Stupid you."
(07:04:25) Caira pulls out a short sword and tries to slice his throat, taking advantage of his confusion.
(07:05:24) Calak says: hello you two
(07:05:28) Calak says: ...
(07:05:30) Rigwyn's eyes open wide as he gasps for air. Blood sprays from his neck and he desparately stuggles to breath.
(07:05:40) Calak says: caira!
(07:05:47) Caira looks up
(07:05:54) Rigwyn holds his neck looking paniced
(07:05:55) Calak attempts to push caira
(07:06:05) Caira cries out, falling back.
(07:06:07) >Caira Monteverte takes a seat.
(07:06:17) Calak sheaths his axes and pulls out a long thin blade
(07:06:37) Calak says: you do it quick! not like this
(07:06:57) Calak grabs Rigwyn and trys to pull his head towards himself "this will only hurt slightly"
(07:07:07) Rigwyn's hands loosen and his body plops to the ground.
(07:07:28) Caira quickly leans over him, searching.
(07:07:31) Calak looks at the body

[Caira]

*Caira still feels bad for this. Sorry Riggly! <3<3
