OOC:
Recently inspired by my Ballad of Sleeping Beauty comics and a thread, I want to run/play A Dragonlance Game merged with "Fairy" tale themes and trappings. i.e. the noble woodsman is now an elven ranger and instead of saving red riding hood, he saves a red robed mage from an evil Dire Beast...no real limit to those who want to join. Ill referee/be GM or whatever it is called in PbP, the first story arc.... Possible class/races for this story-arc: Knight, Bard, Gnome, Dwarf, etc. This story-arc is set one year after War of Souls and begins in the woods south of Solanthus.

IC: Ariel looked out the window of the small wooden hut, noticing that the glass has seen no effort to clean, yawning, she turned back to reading her Music sheets. Ever since she left from Palanthus to travel the road, she has had trouble studying her music. Strange, considering she loved to tale stories and sing songs. However, now it seems so useless. Her husband lost at sea, her daughter somewhere with their Dargonesti kin.... all-alone. Of course, if that old hag she met earlier were correct, she would soon meet new travel companions. All she had to do for this to happen was to wait here in this old hut.... which seems like it was built for Kender...Sighing, she went back to reading, waiting for a knock at the door...

OOC: hey hey heron. i'm joinin'. is it okay that my characteer knows urs?

It was a young half-elf that knocked at the door. "Airel, it's me: Rien. Open the door!" he said impatiently as he tapped his foot.

Heron

10-16-2004, 11:21 PM

OOC: Yes thats fine.

BIC: Ariel sighed and crossed her eyes. "Why did you follow me Rien? I thought I said I would be fine traveling without you." Ariel got up from the rickety chair and walked to the door. Taking a deep breath, she then grabbed the handle, flinging the door open. Her expression is both stern and sad..."Go home Rien...You really shouldn’t be here..." She stared at Rien waiting for answer.

"I can't, Ariel," said Rien. "Some people came by and....burned the house down. My sister didn't escape alive and I don't know where the others are!....Please let me stay for just one night!"

Heron

10-16-2004, 11:27 PM

Ariels expression changed to one of stern disapproval to one of shock and despair..."Oh Rien say it isnt so...how horrible...oh you poor thing..."Suddenly crying Ariel grabbed Rien and dragged him inside, quickly shutting the door. "Tell me what happened." She pushed Rien down into one of the chairs...

dalamar_thedark

10-16-2004, 11:32 PM

Rien looks amazed at Ariel for a moment, then relaxes in the chair and begins. "It was so quiet and I was putting my little sister to bed because Father was too sick to. I was just about to get into my own bed when it sorta began to smell. And then I heard my father choking, so I went to go help him. I got him outside so he could breathe easy. But when I went back..."

He choked back a few threatening tears. "The house collapsed and my sister didn't even get a chance to get out..."

Heron

10-16-2004, 11:39 PM

Ariel gave Rien a hug, then pushed back, getting a serious look in her face, she drew Riens face to eye level "You werent followed were you?" Not waitng for an answer she went to the window and looked out. After a few moments a shudder went thru her. Taking a moment to catch her breath and dry her tears, she turned and faced Rien "Im so sorry Rien, I think this may be my fault. When i left your house the other day, I noticed some strange people in the distance, kinda standying away from the house...I thought they were woodsmen, an gave it no thought." Starting to cry again she crumpled at Riens knees " Oh Rien what have I done..." She began to sob...

dalamar_thedark

10-16-2004, 11:41 PM

"It's okay Ariel," said Rien. Straightening, he got up. "Do you have any....clean clothes? I uh....need to change from these..." his voice faded to an embarrassed squeak as he shifted his cloak and revealed a bloodstained tunic.

OOC: let's not get too weird now...

Heron

10-16-2004, 11:48 PM

OOC: hahaha *shakes head*

BIC:
Drying her tears, Ariel got up off the floor. " I have some of my traveling clothes, do not know if they fit though...hmmm" Looking around the small wooden cottage Ariel began searching for some clothing. "Is that your blood Rien?" She asked over her shoulder. She opened a pantry only to notice a bowl of rotten apples and some old mix for porridge "Well no food...but aha...she pulled an old drape down from a window. Here! this you can use and look in bag to see if you can find any clothes. "Ill wait outside and take a look around.

10-16-2004, 11:50 PM

"Erm...thanks," Rien said, not bothering to answer the other question. He took the clothes and stepped into the other room.

OOC: Okies last post for me till in de'morning...

BIC:
Ariel quietly shut the door and leaned back against it. She closed her eyes, thinking, "He is lying about something." Shaking this thought away, she walked out into the chicken yard, looking up and down the road. She noticed that the hour was getting late and Solinari was climbing the horizon. As she walked around the yard she began to hum a tune, something she had not thought of since she was a child swimming with her Dargonesti kin. This brought a smile to her face and she began to lose her self in her memories, thinking all the while what others she might meet if the old crone was right about their bargain....

Rien came out. "I'm....done," he said. Ariel looked a bit weird, absorbed in her thoughts. ".....Ariel?...."

Heron

OOC: we are near the forest south of Solanthus/Elmwood.

BIC:
Ariel did not notice Rien for a moment, she continued to hum, looking north towards the Garnet Mountains. It was a while before she aknowledged him, a serene expression settling over her. "Yes, Rien, you look better. We need to make way for night, so go start a fire while I look for something to eat." Ariel moved pass Rien back into the house....

dalamar_thedark

10-17-2004, 09:41 PM

Rien looked at Ariel strangely, then followed her back in. "Ariel what is it?" he asked tentatively.

ooc- Hope you don't mind if I join in...;)

ic- A small face appeared in the window and looked in at the woman puttering around in the kitchen and the man wearing a dress-like thing " Hello there, do you know that curtians are supposed to hang in the window? Although I am sure you can make a nice dress out of it, I can help you!" and with that a small female kender climbed in through the window " Hi my name's Ima Thistleknot, here let me help you." she said and started to lift the curtian to help wrap it tighter around the man, the more she tried to help the worse the makeshift clothing became. " Boy it sure was a good thing I was walking by and saw you, you may not have been covered decently without me." Spinning around so her mass of auburn hair spun out behind her, Ima stuck her nose in the air " Boy, something sure smells good, thanks for inviting me to dinner." she said as she wandered towards the kitchen area. Walking up to the woman Ima smiled innocently, as if a candlestick and small trinkets hadn't already found a new home in one of her numerous pouches " Nice place you got here."

OOC: oh boy. a kender.
BIC:

"A kender!!??" Rien shouted in dismay. He hated kender. "Why the heck is a kender in the house!!"

Heron

10-18-2004, 09:53 PM

OOC: Sure, Kyra! Welcome...

IC:
Ariel did not immediately answer Rien as she entered the house. She had a lot to think about and the best way to think was to act. Continuing to ignore the question, Ariel dug in here knapsack and pulled out the food she bought at Solanthus. Mostly it was jerky and biscuits, but she also had some fresh rabbit meat leftover from this morning. After she got the food, she handed Rien her flint and steel, and watched him carefully as he began a fire in the cottages fireplace. After a few seconds, she pulled her cauldron out and began working on a Coney stew, humming a tune. It was then that a flame haired kender came squeaking through the window. After a second or two, Ariel laughed in surprise and then there decided to answer Riens's question. "I met a witch on the road to here yesterday, she said I would have company this night and so I have..." She eyed the Kender for a moment or to, before turning back to the stew, laughing lightly at Riens's prostrations.

Kyra Starleaf

10-19-2004, 07:01 PM

Ima's eyes widened in fascination " Really, you got to meet a witch? Was she ugly with warts all over her face? Did you get magicked?" she asked excitedly " I have never been magicked myself but I am sure it will happen to me soon, hey can I meet the witch too?" At the sound of groaning coming from the other room Ima looked over her shoulder " Are you sure your friend is ok? It sounds like he has a problem, then again it may be that he is wearing a curtain instead of proper clothes." Ima hopped up to try to peek into the pot " Boy something sure does smell good, I am starving, when do we eat?"

Heron

10-19-2004, 07:15 PM

Ariel swatted at the Kender, shooing her back a bit "Silly chit, you'll burn yourself" Ariel said, thinking about the Witch she met on the road to this cottage. "Yes, perhaps you may little Kender meet a witch or perhaps the same one I met." Ariel looked down at the Kender, her facing growing cold and firm. "The witch I met was not ugly, no far from it. Her beauty was fey and her eyes black pits that try to suck your soul from your very body. Her voice was like the crackling of fall leaves and the smell..." Ariel leaned back, pulling a bit o'paper from her pocket..." She smelled like lavender..." Ariel studied the paper a bit before she went back to stirring the stew.” Pay no attention to Rien, he is upset over his family’s ruin, though from the sound of it...it seems no longer to matter..."

10-19-2004, 07:25 PM

OOC: Mind if I join?

IC: A human who appeared to be in his mid-twenties came to the door and knocked. When he got no answer he shouted, "Hello I'm with the watch. There have been some reports of theft around this area, and I someone told me that they saw a kender." The man waited there until he got a reply

Heron

10-19-2004, 07:32 PM

OOC: Nope not at all:)

BIC:

Ariel paused...Another one so soon? she tought. Looking around, she grabbed the Kender by the shoulder, "Ima, be a good hostess, an show the man in. He must be addled to wander these woods at night. The Watch, Hmmph!" Ariel left the stew, went towards Rien, pulled him over close, "Mention not of your family...yet." Pushing away, she smiled, turning to greet the new arrival.

10-20-2004, 03:59 PM

ooc: hi there im kinda new but hope its okay if i join?

IC: An unusually thick-set dwarf with a large red nose and bushy eyebrows half covering his eyes bustles through the door right after the young human. "Aha! I knew I recognized that squeaky voice! Where are they kender? I've been chasing you for Reorx knows how long and I better get my eye-spectacles or theres going to be trouble." With that he stands expectantly before the female kender with arms crossed and a steadily tapping foot.

10-20-2004, 08:12 PM

Ima's eyes widened in innocence as she looked up at the big human claiming to be part of the watch " Oh dear, a thief you say? Why that's just terrible, I hope you catch him!" she said as the dwarf burst into the small house and started yelling at Ima. " Oh hello again." she smiled " Have you lost something?" turning back to Ariel Ima shrugged " I think the dwarf is a little absentminded, he lost all kinds of stuff and needed me to help him find them again! You know I am really good at finding things." she said proudly then glanced at the dwarf and grinned " Did you say you were missing your spectacles?" she asked then at the dwarf's affirmative nod, she started giggling " Have you looked on top of your head?"

Coralskipper

10-20-2004, 08:24 PM

The man smirked as he watched the kender.
"I think I've found my thief. Now if you will just empty your pouches so I can see what is in them we can clear this up without taking you to jail."

muchogusto19

10-20-2004, 08:47 PM

"Confound it I think I would know it if my own spectacles were on top of my own head." Said the dwarf tugging on his beard in frustation. Just in case he decided to do a quick scan. To his surprise they were indeed located right where the kender said. Hurriedly he grabbed the metal frames and placed them on his overly large nose. Oddly his specactles didn't seem to have any lenses but the dwarf seemed unperturbed by this.

"Reorx's beard," said the dwarf "I've never felt so foolish. Sorry about all the yelling, I'm normally a very decent fellow but a Dwarf can't survive without his lucky glasses you know?"

After a slight glance around the room and with a slightly reddish glow around his cheeks the dwarf introduces himself as "Dobson Woodenborough".

The man smirked as he watched the kender.
"I think I've found my thief. Now if you will just empty your pouches so I can see what is in them we can clear this up without taking you to jail."

Ima's face turned beet red and her eyes bulged out " THIEF!" she shreeked " Are you calling ME a thief?! Why you addlebrained, wartfaced son of a diseased Ogre...." she sputtered, then with a small cry attacked the human, her little fists pounding on his chest and small feet kicking his shins before anyone could stop her, but of course Ima did not inflict any hurt on the big human.

ooc- lol...I didn't really mean to call you all those bad names, you just can't call a kender a thief!;)

OOC: Welcome all new players...

BIC:

Before Ariel could get two thoughts in a dwarf came into the cottage, muttering about missing spectacles. Then as she was about to make him welcome, the human looked at the Kender and accused the small chit of being a thief. A second later she watched in growing amusment as the small thing attacked him. This brought giggles bursting forth, however, in the rucus no one noticed. Getting her wits together, Ariel reached over in her pack, and pulled out her trumpet, taking a deep breath, she blew *BROOM-BLAP!* "Excuse me! Everyone calm down!" Waiting for a reponse, Ariel leaned against the wall....

As they spoke a shadow moved over to the room to appear as a frail, black robe mage, named Nuel. He sat down not to close but not to far from the group ,but soon after he snatched up his robes once he noticed the kender noding back and forth happily near him, he glanced at everyone around him with his dark green eyes, triangle shaped pupils.

10-20-2004, 09:37 PM

"Who are you?" Rien asks the mage, seemingly unperturbed, but his well-being as not so.

Coralskipper

10-20-2004, 09:39 PM

The human smirked at the kender and turned to face the woman who appeared to be taking hold of the situation, "Sorry about this miss, my name is Deudermont and as I've already stated I'm with the guard. I just need to collect the belongings of other villagers from the kender and then I will be on my way. Really I don't plan on taking the kender in because my job sort of relies on people committing minor, easily solvable crimes," Deudermont smiled at the last part apparently thinking it funny even though it is doubtful that others would find it equally funny.

Heron

10-20-2004, 09:40 PM

Ariel nearly jumped out of her skin, when the Black Mage appeared, talking to Rien. Thinking quickly she, pulled out her wad of paper and crossed something off, then went back to waiting for things to calm down...The human addressed himself as Deudermont. A most unusal name. Smiling she said "Dear Guard o'the Watch you will do no such thing but sit and join us this night." Seeing things come to an order, she called for everyone to sit and eat dinner, to Rien she asked him to see if the mage needed any special assistance, casting about she pulled out her mandolin and the parchment of paper, letting the other mingle awahile she prepared her story for this night...

In the middle of trying to introduce himself properly to the little kender Dobson was thrown off track as she started to pick a fight with the young human. Apparently she didn't agree with his use of vocabulary, though he didn't see how she could be complaining!

Suddenly a loud trumpet blast hit his eardrums completely disorienting the poor dwarf. Not to mention the startling addition of a black robe in the room with eyes that scared the "ba-jeezies" out of him. Moving as silently as possible for a dwarf of his stature, Dobson shuffled over to the corner as far from the magic-user as possible, while also maintaining a firm hold over his ears incase the lady decided to play anymore music on her trumpet.

*Better wait this out and not make any sudden movements* he decided.

OOC: Would you mind if the Green Knight joined? The signature below is during the WoS. At the end of the WoS he became a pure blooded elf, whith every Dragon aspect vanishing from'em, including his magic. He's a knight in breastplate, shoulder pads and bracers of green plating which have been decorated with vines, leaves and a few flowers. He has twin small dark green capes on each side of his arm which cover his sides instead of back, leaving his longsword strapped in the center of his back in plain sight but his daggers on each side of his belt hidden along with his hands gripping them. Since the WoS and his completed transformation of the curse into a full elf he has been searching for magic to replace what he lost. However he has been unable to access this 'wild' magic and has since been on the route to discover another means, an elven means...

Lemme know if you want'em in. Perhaps his horse can be killed and you could find'em on the road next to his dead horse and the group offers to help bury it and that's how he could join up?

Heron

10-20-2004, 10:00 PM

OOC: Okies Morcalivan. I like this idea....you can join now with your own intro to this party or you can wait for a little bit and the group comes to you.

Ariel looked at the mage as she tuned the strings on the mandolin So he knows of Riens family? Sealing that thought away for later, she went back to her situation. So the witch Ladonna was correct, they have all come to this place on this sacred night. Do they have any hint at what is pulling them together? Let us hope they are up to the task at hand for this night shall be dark indeed before the coming dawn. Ariel had a far way look about her as she absently played with her instrument.

Everything appeared to be going fine for Dobson. No one paying him any mind as he huddled in the corner. Just then he got a whiff of something burning in the room. He stood stepped forward a little to tell the woman with the mandolin that her food was getting a little too done when he realized it was his own shaggy hair becoming a fiery inferno.

"Aaaah!" he shouted, grabbing a pitcher of he hoped water from the table and upending it over his head successfully squashing the flames. Dobson then pulled a light hammer from his belt as he peered over at the mage. Looking from mage to hammer and then back he again he muttered,"Can't take this anymore" and swung his weapon down on top of his own head knocking him flat out on his back.

the mages face grew twisted in rage, he stood up and yelled" if you shall not tell me then mabe this will shake out the answer" the mage pulled a burned skull with a few strands of skin still on it out and threw it on the table, then he yelled" now can anyone guess whos that is now give me what i want to know!"

Ariel watched in dumbfoundemnt as the dwarf brained himself, then turned slowly towards the now blacked skull lying on the table. Forcing herself not to retch, she grabbed Riens hand, "Tell him fool, tell him why before more blood is spilt!" she said, her eyes aglow with emotion.

Deudermont could do nothing but watch the whole scene in amazement. Actually check that, he did mutter out loud, "What kind of house is this. Its insane."

OOC: Last post for me till in the morning...

Seeing that Rien was standlt mutely, perhaps in some form of shock, Ariel looked coldy at the mage and told him the tale Rien spoke of earlier this night. After she was done, she took a deep breath and calmly asked the Human to move the dwarf from the table, ignoring his muttering. "Please try to bring him around." Sighing deeply, she waited for Nuels response.

Death

10-20-2004, 11:00 PM

the mage wispered"me and her dad where war friends believe it or not, and i plan to revenge his daughter for who ever killed her shall feel pain thatwill be remebered through out all time i plan to leave in the morn if you plan to journey with me be ready by then." then Nuel slipped out the door into the dark night. :D

10-21-2004, 02:27 PM

Deudermont got out his water skin as he went to pick up the dwarf. He was still amazed at the sight he had just witnessed. He picked up the dwarf and brought him to corner. Deudermont procedded to try and get the dwarf to drink some water in hopes that the dwarf would regain consciousness.

Heron

10-21-2004, 08:35 PM

INSIDE: Ariel looked up at Rien, waiting for an response to his answer. Seeing none forthcoming, she thanked the Guard O'the Watch for tending to the dwarf. While she did this the mage slipped outside, leaving as quickly as he entered. Turning about her eyes stopped at the Kender. She looked at the chit for a bit before heading to set the table. Moving the mandolin from her lap, she readied the food, then bade all to listen to her tale. However before she could continue shw waited for the dwarf to awaken.

OUTSIDE:The wind picked up as Nuel stepped outside, causing his robes to flutter about him. The night was restless, trees swayed in the breeze, limbs creaking as the leaves whirled about. The little light coming from the cottage deepened the night, leaving the yard around the cottage obscured. The horses tied near by nickered and shook their manes in greeting of the black mage.
In the darkness, yellow eyes looked upon the slight form standing in front of the cottage. It tried the air, smelling man-flesh. Better than pig meat it thought dropping down low to shuffle away from the cottage. We are hungry this night, yes. Thinking, it went into the night...to wait...

10-21-2004, 09:02 PM

Ima sat at the table hungrily eating the food set out in front of her, and some of the food not placed in front of her but on other plates as well, uncharacteristically quiet while the dwarfs head caught aflame and the skull bounced on the table. Ima looked around at the comotion then peeked down at the object she held in her hands hidden under the table. What a wonderful object she had found, it almost looked magical, maybe she should ask the mage what it was then clenched her hands tighter around it, no he might want it and while she was fairly generous with her treasures, always giving things away to people she liked Ima wanted to keep this particular thing awhile longer so she tucked it away into a secret pocket in the inner lining of her tunic for safe keeping.

Nuel was walking down the road thinking to himself, when he heard a small brush move he reached into his pocket to find his fire orb,but to his dismay it was missing his eyes starred long into the eyes of the demon and reached to his belt to prepare for a spell....

As Nuel reached into his puches for the componenets of the spell, the yellow eyes darted about flitting between the trees. Soon two sets of eyes were watching him off a bit from the road to the south. Clouds obscured the moons this night, an details were hard to acertain. Nuel knew for certain however that there was more than one beast out tonight watching the little cottage and now watching...him.

Dobson came awake with a start. "What happened?" he said,"Oh, now I remember sorry about all the fuss everyone, please lady continue with your story; and do you mind if I have some of your stew?" The dwarf finished his long-winded sentence while feeling the tender spot on top of his head with a grimace.

10-22-2004, 09:24 AM

the mage steped back muttering the words of a spell, within moments thin bolts shot from his finger tips and struck to the first demon knocking it dead, but to his dismay he saw 5 more eyes appear. He made another step back towards the cottage,the mages eyes narrowed as the demons slipped from the shadows, he began muttering many long words as the sky slowly began to spiral......

OOC: lol...shakes head....

IC: (OUTSIDE)

Nuel let lose his spell sending bolts of energy towards the yellow eyes, a yelp of pain told him he struck true. The beast now angered by this sudden attack rushes out of the darkness, rearing up as a sliver of light from Solinari gives away its shape....http://www.rpg-icons.com/images/icons/bof2/bosses/augus.gif The Augus stands the height of an Ogre. Its twin wolf heads snap at the air, slinging sizzling saliva about. In its rage it grabs a small tree and up roots it, brandishing it as a club. In his mind Nuel heres a voice You have hurt us little mage, we will not wait. Now we will feast up on you and leave the bones for the condors to pick clean The Augus steps closer, its great heads lowering to snap at Nuel.

Ariel nodded towards the dwarf and began telling them the tale of a cold night, a vampire princess and her lone step-mother, however before she could continue further a great howl of pain startled her. "In the name of the gods, what was that?" Ariel looked towards the others as she rose to her feet.

OOC: I suppoe this is as good a time as any. Don't kill them all just yet, my horse still needs to get clubbed, heh.

IC: Morcalivan's horse naighed(sp?) at the sound of a great howl of pain. He swiftly shook the reins and got his horse under control and sensing trouble he kicked at it's flanks motioning it to pick up speed. The obeyed and picked up as if to charge into an invisible oponent. It's body was weighed down by something heavier yet lighter than the rider. Scales surrounded the horse's flanks and covered it's face, green scales. They were from that of a Dragon Morcalivan had had found slain by the Overlord Malys years ago. And luckily for him his mount was not opposed to having dead dragon parts covering it's hide.

Morcalivan could tell he was close as he began to hear shouts just around the bend and decided to take the horse offroad and cut straight through the trees.

The dwarf, perhaps wanting to show he had at least a minimal amount of courage, stands up with hammer in hand. Walking over to the window he peers out into the darkness.

"Yikes!" he bellows,"Looks like theres going to be trouble and the mage is in for it!" With that he opens both window shutters and deftly throws the hammer out into the night. A heartbeat later and there is a grunt outside as apparently the weapon struck true.

"I think its going to take a bit more than that for this beast." States Dobson with a nervous look on his face.

The dwarf futily attacked the wolf thing as Deudermont got up, and joked "I actually have to do work. I thought this job was supposed to be easy.

He procceded to draw his short sword, and attack the beast head on because he thought he could "handle it". Needless to say that it did not work out well as Deudermont got thrown five feet away by the monster.

http://www.rpg-icons.com/images/icons/bof2/bosses/augus.gif The Augus grunted in pain as the war hammer bounced off his left side, forcing his left head to look about at the cottage. Deudermont took the chance and charged the beast only he was thrown back to the ground. Busy with the Guard, It noticed the rider to late and lost a foot of its arm. With a roar of pain, the Augus swung at the rider, hitting the horse and sending it reeling.

INSIDE: Ariel grabbed her slender blade and yelled at Rien and Ima to follow her as she ran out the front door of the cottage.

OOC: Are there still 5 of these things? Is that why that one creature did all that?

IC: In his moment of glory Morcalivan lost his concentration on the battle, not noticing the quick recovery and rage of the creature who spun around and knocked the horse in the head, sending it to the ground and it's rider flying.

As the horse's legs buckled under the pressure, Morcalivan was caught unprepared and was immediately dislodged into the air landing on his back hard but quickly rolling with the fall and unsheething his long sword. Making a show of strength he rubs his back behind the cover of his cape and grits his teeth from the pain, prepared to defend himself.

The horse now withers and frantically tries to get up a number of times only to fall back down dazed and confused, the pain of it's broken legs in combination with it's fear of the great beast's growls at the new incoming oponents.

Nuel, seeing that the beast was now occupied with the knight he began chanting the words to a fireball spell.Soon after a ball of fire appear in each of his hands he threw them both at the one beast hopeing to wound or mabe kill it, he knew know that his strength was starting to fail him from the use of his magic, he could possible cast one more spell he thought to himself, he began chanting a spell and pointed it at Morcalivan and sent a enchantment spell at his sword, as Nuel passed out he saw the sword glow red.....

http://www.rpg-icons.com/images/icons/bof2/bosses/augus.gif The Augus raised its arms in defense of the fire blast, singeing the hair of its body and catching the small tree it held on fire.

And be more patient when it comes to forum posts, there's allot of characters and not all of'em are on your schedule, so give them time to post. If you're bored I suggest you work in multiple threads. I'm looking for others myself so that I can settle to craving to outpost others.

Hearing the screams of some little girl... j/k

IC: As Morcalivan's mount raced through the forrest darting back and forth as he advanced avoided trees he could see large shapes in the distance and growls that sounded like those similar to wolves or bears. He expected to find a wanderer being harassed by a pack of animals, and in a way he was right. Drawing his sword from his back he and his mount jumped through the bushes coming onto the back of a suprised beast as it reered it's head in shock as it leaped out of the way of the horse, reflexively swinging it's club at the horse and it's rider only to have Morcalivan's swinging blade severing just below the elbow as he narrowly avoids a skull bashing of the large club.

ooc- Why is it that everyone assumes that kender are going to be annoying?...I guess I will have to work a little harder at meeting everyone's expectations! ;) Oh and if anyone is looking for another thread to post in, you are all welcome in mine- A New Dawning...

bic- Ima's eyes lite up with wonder as she beheld the wonderful sight of a two headed monster engulfed in flames " Wow would you look at that! " she said in awe, and keeping a firm grip on her hoopak walked closer so she could get a better look at the burning demon. With the light of the fire in her face Ima almost tripped over the prone body of the black mage and loooking down saw him sprawled at her feet.

Morcalivan, standing in pain prepared for anything as the mage casts fiery balls of flame at the giant beast before falling exhausted. Thinking he was on his own as the beasts began to look his way, he felt a perculiar but familiar sensation.

Magic! He was shocked and almost dropped his sword as it hummed eminating a magical aura around the blade. He could feel the old pulse of magic within his veins again and a blissful exileration came over him, seemingly unaware of the beast a large grin appeared on his face. He grasped his sword tighly and could do nothing but sile as he cut through the burning tree with ease. His sword now pulsing with energy he looked at the beast who had turned his attention to the mage thinking Morcalivan nothing more than charred paste.

The Augus stopped short as he noticed a little Kender in its way. "You wee one have what we seek, yes." It spoke in a growl. "We shall smash you, then eat you then leave your broken bones about, yes." With a quickness belying its size it snatched the Kender up in one pawed fist and attempted to swallow her. At that moment its back was turned towards the knight.

Morcalivan7

10-23-2004, 10:45 PM

Morcalivan gripped his sword tighly and charged at the beast.

"Drop the Kender!" He couldn't believe the words that had just come out of his mouth. He would have pondered it except for the fact that he was now battling for his life. Looking out of the corner of his eye as he charged the two headed fiend others poured out of the hut. Not wanting anymore captives he decided to use some quick thinking, dragging his enchanted blade across the ground as he ran, the energy sparked and flared causing the ground to catch fire and halting some ways before the beast he swung his dragging sword toward the beast's faces, launching sparks and heated earth at it's eyes, dazing it and providing what time the newcomers and kender needed.

Dobson hurried out of the cabin on the heels of the kender only to be stopped short by a horrific sight. The two headed beast now only had one arm but it didn't seem to be slowing it down. A horse lay sprawled near it clearly in much pain and a elven knight was charging it from the side. Seeing his hammer out of reach for the moment he looked around for something he could do to help.

At that moment the dwarf saw Nuel lying on the ground maybe passed out or worse and, putting small squabbles aside, ran to his aid. Grabbing the mage by his shoulders Dobson pulled him back to the doorway of the cabin and out of harms way.

Ariel and Rien came to a halt behind the Dwarf, watching with horror as the Kender struggled vainly against the grip of the Augus. "Tend to the guard Rien, ill help the other against this beast." As the green armored fighter struck his blow against the beast, Ariel darted in and sliced the belly of the beast. The renewed attack sent the Augus spinning around forcing it to drop the Kender. "Curses Little ones, curses I say to you.." The Augus kicked out catching Ariel in the ribs. She flew and hit a tree knocking the breath out of her. Grunting with pleasure, but clearly pained, It turned toward the fighter. With a growl it charged, fist raised to smash the unlucky green clad warrior.

10-24-2004, 10:30 AM

Morcalivan was suprised to see the Dargonesti use the beast's blindness to her advantage, swooping in and slicing it's belly, but only to be swatted away. Blood dripped from it's belly and it howled in pain. As Morcalivan closed in on his opponent and swung the beasts budged avoiding a fatal blow only to be scared by the magical heat of the blade with melting skin.

Grabbing his arms as he reacted to the miss, the beast crushed the grip of the warrior, forcing him drop his sword. Kicking the beast's grip off his bruised arms Morcalivan turns his back on him, places his hands inside his capes and grips his long daggers. Within moments Morcalivan pulls the dagger, crouches avoiding a grapple and stabs both of the beast's kneecaps simultaneously, leaving the daggers inside and rolling to avoid it's clutches as he picks up his fallen blade.

The beast howled in pain as it struggled with the green warrior. The little gnat actually managed to wound the beast in such a way that it feared for its life, however that thought quickly left its twin mind as the cursed warrior impaled its knees. With endurance known to its species, the Augus with its remaining hand balled a fist an slammed it down on the head of the warrior. Stepping back, it grinned and bounded off into the night howling with rage. The group all heard its retreat in their heads:

You think that I am innocent
any my purity comes from the heart.
However i have so many secrets
therefor tell so many lies.
I am darkness in disguise.
I will charm you with my smile,
Hypnotize you with my charm.
Send you to insanity,
until your world turns upside down.
I'll watch you like a hawk
as you are my prey.
I'm going to get to know you in every possible way.
Your secrets will become my thoughts
your weakness will become your fears.
I will destroy you
and use you
break you down
until you have no self-esteem.
You'll have no where to run.
You'll have no where to hide.
Because everywhere you'll turn
I'll be in your mind.
And when you think you've found
a way to stop me in my tracks.
My game will only worsen
and you'll become my past.
So if i were you
I'd pack up my bags and leave.
Turn and run
Never make conversation with me
Because in the end
I"ll be in your dreams.
Haunting and taunting you to the extreme.
I will tear you apart
and push you aside.
And when you think its over
I'll eat you alive.
I'll sit back and laugh
watching you whither away.
And as your world is collapsing
and you've come to your end.
A new victim has just arrived
and i am darkness in disguise.

Morcalivan saw nothing but a blur and felt nothing but the unbearable pain in his pain. His ears rang like drums unable to make out any sounds. After looking around however he started seeing shaped blurs instead of a really big blur. The magical sensation from his word was gone, the enchantment ended. A wave of sorrow came over him as his loss of magic came back in his mind. He could hear a feint and irregular breathing off to the side of the road. My horse! The realiztion sent him into action, at least, the actions he was able to take. Stangering to his feet he was about to fall when a hand clasped his arm.

Nodding at him, she picked herself up. it was then that she saw Rien holding the Kender in his arms, tears streaking down his face. "OH no, no, nooo..." Ariel went to the Kender. She was dead, her life crushed from her little body. She fell to her knees, weeping as she sung a song for the passing of Iam:

'An evil death has set forth the noble warrior
A song shall sing sorrowing minstrels in Solmania...'

she took a deep breath then motinoned for the Dwarf to help the mage up. Looking over to the Green Warrior, she saw him tending to his horse. With deep regret she got up and walked over to him. "I am at a loss for words, warrior, but my thanks you have this night."

As Dobson helps Nuel to his feet he says a prayer to Reorx under his breath. The gash across the mages chest closes slightly helping to clot the blood. Seeing that he is strong enough to stand alone the dwarf then goes and picks up his warhammer attaching it once again to the loop on his belt.

That done Dobson says another prayer for the soul of the kender, that Reorx guide her to the next part of her journey.

"This is a sad beginning to a campanionship," the dwarf tells Areil.

As to the what the beast meant in its message, I think it means we must beware the darkness with in us." She gave a stern look to all around. "Rien please allow me to see what poor Ima gave to you." Rien handed Ariel the crsyatl ball, tinged in red. It had a warm sensation to it, an could almost said to pulse with life. Ariel turned towrds the wizard. "Is this yours, Mage?

IC: Ariel sighed. Nuel was correct, when she knew little of what was going on herself. With reluctance, she sheathed her blade and told Rien to put away the dagger. She looked around seeing the people gathered here really for the first time. It was then she choose to tell her story.

"Years ago as Rien partly knows, I was a Dargonesti maiden whose clan lived of the coast of Palanthus. Minions of an Amphi dragon were ravaging us. During one terrible raid, I left seeking magic strong enough to thwart its schemes. I looked beneath the waves and found nothing. I went elsewhere to the land of the surface dwellers, however, ignorant of their ways I soon was captured and enslaved by a group of foul reavers. I prayed night and day to Zeboim to shatter the vessel that was my cage but to no avail the bitch queen of the sea heard me naught or perhaps she did." Ariel brow furrowed in confusion. "There was an attack, a vessel of Palanthus attacked the reavers and it was there I met my husband for the first time. He freed me my husband. He was a Marnier, his name was Peter. Alas, our fate was to be separated by the depths of the ocean. Foreseeing this I resolved to one-day return to him. Needless the say, a Siren helped me and I, as you more or less see me now, a Dargonesti no more. I do not know." Ariel set down on the ground, next to the kender, starting to prepare the body for its last rights. "Years went by. Happy times in Palanthus with my husband. We sailed the seas together, in time, we had a family. All was well, even if twilight closed in on my husband; I still loved him even though he was grey and our children grown and traveling the world themselves. Nevertheless, my happiness was shattered over a year ago when the Great Storm came to our world. My husband was out at sea when the storm came and was lost to its murky depths. I looked for months for any sign of him surviving...there was nothing." Ariel was weeping now, using her tears to remove Ima's blood. "After the return of the gods, I suffered...a fit. It was during this fit that a heard the cries of a boy and a girl, lost in the darkness searching for the way home. They had each other but some unseen darkness haunted them, hungered for them. They cried for succor and I tried to reach them but the closer I came the farther away they were. I awoke in my room. My attendants claiming I was out of it for three days. Taking this to heart, I resolved I would find and save these two children. Therefore, I set out on my search. I knew immediately dark things tracked me. I believe they are the ones that killed Rien's family now." Ariel paused, deep in thought. Her expression was mingled with sadness and anger. " I met a witch on the road to these woods yesterday. She called herself Ladonna. She looked to be an elf but she was clothed in the blackest velvet and her skin paler than the old moon. She knew my quest and spoke in a musical voice that she was here to help me. It was then she cast her augury and spoke of companions joining me this night. Drawn from across Ansalon, ripped from their lives unbeknownst of why and how they ended up here at this old cottage that once was a home of dwarves...."Ariel finished with Ima and bade the warrior and guard to begin building a pyre. She got up and went to the dwarf. "Perhaps your kin lived at this cottage, I know naught, but if so, I must tell you their fate...one day." With this, she turned and went back into the cottage to gather her things. "We leave at dawn to track the beast. Sleep as best as you can on this fey night..."

At minimum the orb itself must change description of it's abilities if it is to exist in this thread for it could make him next in line to challenge the Pantheon for godhood. So I ask, what is the point of even having other adventurers with such a powerful character? Even without the orb if he's as old as he says he is he'd be one of the most powerful of the 'atm' rare and nearly extinct mages as knowledge comes with age. So yeah, w/orb = badass = dead enemies. Flavour is spelt with a U. What a silly american. :p And, before Chaos there were many Dragons on Krynn, including the cowardly green who used their magic or ran away. (even Beryl at the Window of the Stars ran with her tail between her legs from softskins, lmao)

I least I know how to spell Colour damnit! Anyhoo, as to Nuel, One he prolly isnt old as he says he is, two I wont let him be all powerful and all knowing. Third the device is a prop, a deus ex machina, plot device from high above and fourth I am not American! ;)

PS1: All I did was give it a description....of what it looked like. Who gave it abilites??? :confused:

PS2: Ah ha, so I see now...hmmm well we will have to see about it curing weakness...and storing spells...

Ps3: As this recent (1 year) after WoS, Nuel if is a Black Robe, then a a Young one, otherwise he would be 60+ years and during forty of those years he would have no High Magic, but instead Sorcery...Perhaps he is a Sorceror and only pretending to be a Mage?! The Direness of it all thicknes the plot...so you gonna post a reponse or talk more OOC Mr. green?

as to Beryl, like all greens she is a bad smell on hot wind... ;)

Nor did we, but thank you for pointing that out. As for your age...

"You must open you eyes, raistlen gifted Palin the white mage with the staff of maguis, he also spoke with me that day, and i recieved this"
Which means some time before Palin's brothers even died, you were given this extremely powerful orb, which in that time would have made you a legend for in that time the full magic of the gods would have been present.

It also makes you over 60 years minimum. 45 years between Chaos and WoS, add the time it took for you to take the test, (Majere was around 20 when he took his, the youngest mage ever), that would = 65 years, then add the time between the test and the time Raist gave you the orb.

You are an old wrinkly fart, lmao. That is the reason why I made the Green Knight and elf. He's not the oldest elf, but he woulda died if he was human by now. Or at least retired.

OOC: Your character insisting on bringing Raistlin into the picture caused some of the other players, myself included, to get off topic and argue about your character. There have not been in roleplaying posts for at least a day, and the issue of your character has yet to be resolved.

OCC: Coralskipper is right, no offense. As sated prviousliy in this thread I wanted to use fairy tale scences in Dragonlance. For Example, my NPC, Ariel is based upon the Little Mermaid. The cottage we are currently was once the home of the Seven Dwarfs. The Augus is the wolf from Red Riding Hood. The Hag Ladonna (I wanted to use the Silvenesti Queen who worships Chemosh, but I forgot her name) is the archtype witch from Fairy Tales. As to the vision Ariel had, It is about a boy and girl lost an she is seeking to rescue them. That is were we are at. I posted alengthy post on this on my previous IC up above. So, Are we still going to play or not? If not then let this thread die and I will move on to another idea...
