#5364 The Elf King Of Talmarron

Posted by Mizukage on 02 April 2007 - 08:21 PM in RP Archive

'the trial of leading fools' Really it was of no concern that they would run off but we had something to do so until the completion they served under me.

Cupping my hands around my mouth I call out "we have a place to stay! hurry up and get back here! we don't have much time!"

And with that I turn to the boy, pick him up in a fireman's carry and motion the druid to lead on.

appearences could be decieving, and carrying the boy was of no discourse for my deceptive strength. wwhen the knight and peddler rejoined the group me made a slow march to the cave.

As promised it was abandoned but the sent of the previous inhabitant was still present, like a screen baring entrance.

The cave was no more than a hole in the side of the cliff, barely warranting the name cave. The small entrance led into a narrow tunnel that gradually widened the father you went back, the darkness was opressive, denying a clear view of the back of the cave, though a breeze hinted at a back entrance.

Sticking my head back out of the cave mouth I tell the squad, "its a little tight, almost claustrophobic, but its dry and out of the weather, its too late for a forage so we will have to sleep in the dark and hungry."

I turn back into the cave and call back. " we should set a watch, shall we draw lots? or can we decide an order amoungst ourselves?

"hmm, crisis averted, we need to find somewhere to rest, the boy won't be able to make any long trips. Druid? could you do us one more favor?"

I climb on top of the stone embankment and look to the old shell of the house, seeing the flash of the knight's chainmail and make a quick decision.

"we need somewhere, safe and natural to rest up, could you maybe send a scout, like a bird or something to have a look around? somewhere unnoticable, but close to the road if you please."

" come on man, take a look around. My supplies are all but spent and I would like to wash this curse off, use your best judgement, fill a pool or something!" geez, the trial of leadership indeed, I missed this.

'beautiful' "I need to examine one further, watch the boy, druid, and keep an eye on the peddler."

Removing my cloak so that the vermilion tattoo on my back flashes in the sunlight I walk over to the beast that attacked the child and set about doing a quick field dress, blood and ichor spread everywhere.

from the resulting mass an obscure tale arises.

"these are not true beasts, they are summons. the presence of dark magic has twisted these once normal beasts, they fester with darkness and hate. Druid! we need water! Lots of Water! Don't touch the mess, it could kill one who is not equipped to handle it!

I gather up a few important scraps and seal them in a small jar I have, they may prove useful later. and look at my fellow travelers, the slime drips from my arms and face.

"we need a fire, quickly! burn all the bodies!"

Posted by Mizukage on 09 April 2007 - 05:29 PM in RP Archive

with the sudden, and predicatble attack on the cave I watched as my colleuges rushedo ut of the cave, performing to thier utmost. A simple bog witch and her summonings, nothing I should bother myself with, Especially with the merchant collapsing the mountain oon top of his escort.

Thinking quickly I lay down a fine line of powder that blends with the dirt but would give off a blinding flash of light as warning if it was stepped on and then against my better judgement I grab the still prone boy and hurry out through the back of the cave, previously guarded by the she-bear.

as I expected there were no threats to been seen or sensed.

Expecting the worst I drop the boy a couple of paces outside the entrance and stealthily prepare my ambush.



#5716 The Elf King Of Talmarron

For the group to give in so easily, it was disheartening, the boy obviously had some use even as a simple meal for the hag. I had no choice in my actions now, so I went ahead.

taking a rock I threw it with all my might at the merchant, drawing the hags attention to his startled response, then with a quick prayer to the gods I made my attack, aiming for the spine so as to incapacitate
(assasin's strike X2: 3d6 additional damage, crippling fatigue and wounding, magical damage)

the first blade flew way off target, vanishing into the bush but the second struck the witch right in the back, severing her spine.

With her support gone she fell to the ground, landing in a heap with the magic coursing through her body, immobilized and bleeding to death.

Rising from my position I saunter towards her as her body spasms with pain, standing above her to gloat.

" hmmm, so, you think to rob my of my gains? surely one as aged should know better than to cross the wily one."

the name causes a wave of horrid surprise to break through her pain wracked face as her fate dawns on her.

"ahhh, now then, what do you know? what was your side of the bargain? and remember, I will know when you are lying, you can still survive this night, by my whim. Now speak."

"hmm, we cannot travel far in these conditions, and here is just as well now that the past resident has been-" I look at the large boulder that had fallen "-held up. Druid? the boy is out the back of the cave, hidden i have no doubt that you can find him, peddler? erase the dust trap I left at the entrance, throw some dirt over it to break the enchantment."

I finish the bandage with a sharp tug and turn to the vampire

"Now mistress, what can you tell us."

Posted by Mizukage on 21 April 2007 - 10:18 AM in RP Archive

"come now, theres no need to be so hostile, I am as I have always been, just o so much more."

I crouch down and start binding his leg, all the while exploring my new abilities, giving the leg rough jerks for emphasis.

"besides, you wouldn't want to be without your healer would you? who would take care of you when you have a sore toe? and your right, she DOES have some important information, but I'll let her tell you about it."



#5919 The Elf King Of Talmarron

Posted by Mizukage on 20 April 2007 - 10:23 PM in RP Archive

"hmm, this is excellent, a definite selling point." I look to my new mistress and nod to the cave saying "this is us, watch out for the short one"

Turning back to my shocked compatriots I call "whats wrong? what questions do we have, she definitely can help us."

I start to walk towards the knight and prepare some tensures for his leg.

" or you can take care of yourself, walk cripple for your ,hmpf, faith has made you well HA HA HA!"



#5729 The Elf King Of Talmarron

Posted by Mizukage on 16 April 2007 - 07:06 PM in RP Archive

"do not worry hag, you won't die quickly, if at all. why the boy? surely anyone of us could be a meal, take the cripple" I say this with a gesture to the injured paladin " And of what do you claim your heritage? surely you do not defile the host of elves with your presence?"

Looking for the first time at her face I am overcome with shock and fear, a sensation so strange to me.

"excuse me nosferatu, i did not truly grasp the situation, I should have known better, my humble apologies, I will do what I can to help you, but. you must answer our questions correctly. understand?"

With that I slowly back away, bowing once and never taking my eyes off her.

"oh, great, were somewhere far away from where we started, thank you for that information. with the sun setting i think we can get another hmmm, 7 miles in before we hit dark, i think we should make the most of it"

I look at the motley crew surrounding me, they all seem worn out from the days adventure, or maybe i just don't care

"badtouch? you got lead, we have made excellent time so we shouldn't have to hide our presence anymore, the peddler can take second, boy? you stay close to the old guy and I'll follow up, maintain your intervals and stay ready, we aren't out of this yet. well? lets go!"



#5187 The Elf King Of Talmarron

Posted by Mizukage on 26 March 2007 - 02:15 PM in RP Archive

"Don't stop indeed" I murmur as I survey my new surroundings, looking for any sign of a familiar landmark in the glare of the afternoon sun.

"for the record Uji-san, Where EXACTLY are we?"



#4254 The Elf King Of Talmarron

Posted by Mizukage on 05 February 2007 - 09:37 PM in RP Archive

" of all the luck! good sir" I take the proffered hand and shake it heartily "you are too kind to a poor vagabond such as I, and it is good that you can notice my training, I will gladly tell my tale, but I fear that I must leave at some point, and at that time, surely my unholy huntress will nash at my very heels." I motion to one of the awestruck serving girls to bring me anther drink and turn back to Garrett. " thus it would be unfortunate that I were to leave, as i had arrived, broke. If you could but spare me a slice of your soon to be growing income <of this I guarantee!> I could tell other tales, tales of the anchients, the gods, the adventurer's of yore. While great, and tiring my story was, variety guarantee's a full house" a quick wink at the maid that brought my drink and a smile to Garrett, " and a small uhh, donation could not possibly hurt your swelling purse, I ask only what is fair good master." and with a small flourish of my cloak and a bow I gesture to my fresh tankard " I pray that I am not being to presumptious?"



#4774 The Elf King Of Talmarron

Posted by Mizukage on 09 March 2007 - 08:24 AM in RP Archive

The night had been spent easily enough, I have always been hard to find, and near impossible to notice when i don't want to be. I had sat in the old well, letting the water hide my scent from the beasts that would seek to harm me, the deep shaft and the dark water did the rest, My natural boyancy helping me to catch some sleep as I hung inside my cloak, snagged above the water.

In the morning I had no trouble climbing the slick, cobbled walls with my stiff limbs and when I was just below the lip I slowly brought my small mirror over the top, so that I could see without being seen.

I had watched as the runty boy from the inn had walked from house to house, gathering a small bundle of articles "amature" I murmered to myself. I was just about to follow him and see what he had gathered when I heard a clink of metal. The boy had ducked like a scared phesant when he too caught sight of the armored lad striding self importantly throught the empty town, steriotypical sword at the ready.

"damn, bounty hunter. why do I never get a break?" I climbed out of the well and stealthily approached the two boys as they talked, knives at the ready.



#4228 The Elf King Of Talmarron

Posted by Mizukage on 02 February 2007 - 12:21 AM in RP Archive

" good folk, I am Lolith, traveller and loremaster extrordinare!" a flourish of my multihued cloak " I have travelled across this fair country, learning and sharing the tales handed down from the gods themselves! truly no man can match my knowledge of the old masters, that fated race, now departed across the lake! but of all the tales, of all the stories I have, none truly can compare to my on trials, I am not a hero, but I have faced horrors no mere mortal should have to." I reach into my cloak and take out three of my knives and begin to juggle them while still facing the crowd

" and of the gods! how they see to torture me!" a fourth knife joins the others " ohh, how I pray! to the righteous Phaligne, the pious Ellitre, even the beautiful Farouglin! none to hear my plight, Simic, the trickster, Tarl, the strong
or even my matron, Kelepsi, the shining! daughter of truth and knowlege! the dark lords too, give me no sign. I am caught-" I grab one knife and balance another on the point, the next on the pommel of the second, and the fourth upon the pommel of the third for a count of three, then begin juggling them again.

" Know you that I am an orphan, a child unloved by the world" I slowly turn to face away from the eagerly listening crowd. a normal childhood, but when I was but a wee lad they just up and," I snatch the blades out of the air where the watchers can't see, deposit them in my cloak again and turn back to face the crowd with another flourish. "Vanished! leaving me with nothing, no one to comfort me. how cruel a thing! imagine, a child no more than seven, crying, lost in this open world, a quiet home, no longer! I walked, with nothing to my name but a small blanket, from Colmsville, for three years, oh how I walked, begging until I reached the smaal town of whisper, where I had my one respite, " I throw a pinch of powder into the lantern to change the colour to light green "a shimmer of joy in my otherwise dismal existence. A beautiful woman, truly a descendant of the worthy themselves! Meline, my teacher, my comforter, and my friend." I begin to walk down the bar, dancing and skipping " a loremaster, like myself, she taught me all that I know now. we travelled together everywhere, to all points of the map, even far east, across the lake of mist, to see the strange sights, men who walk only upon thier hands "

I stop walking, do a backflip to land on my hands and walk back to my lantern and stand up again. " winds, that could blow a man down the street!" i step back to teeter on the edge of the counter. " but kindness, unlike some folk in this world. upon our return, we wintered in Rockcharge city, home of the delvers, mighty men who craft great works from mere stone."

i get back into the middle of the bar and crouch to look everyone in the eyes, pointing around the room as I look, pointedly not looking at Rod "but as well as it is, there are some that seek only to cause harm, all kindness is invaritably repaid with unkindness. in the deep snows, my master and I spent time in a tavern, entertaining the miners. But one of the populace, a human was unpleased with our demeanor, we never harmed a soul, and we were some of the few the great dwarves welcomed, a stoic and surly people, hearts of gold. but the woman, Talien, a hurtful and vile woman, beautiful, if but for a scar on the back of her hand, thought only of destroying what little happiness I had achieved."

from my crouch I toss some powder into the flame to make it a dark red and do another backflip to lad behind the bar with only my eyes looking along it to my listeners " she caused a riot, a band of bloodseekers to rise from our new friends, she falsely accused us of degrading the great elven image, she labelled us blasphemers! In cold blood she killed my teacher, slaughtered her infront of me." I do a handspring up on top of the bar and land litting with the lamp between my legs, dangling down, a pinch of powder to change the colour to a shimmering dark blue.

"again! I was alone again! the one person I loved, taken from me! surely-" I my elbows on my knees and rest my head on my hands, as though weeping, " certainly, that woman, that poor, cruel woman was jealous, she had no friend as close as I did, she had no skill as my sweet Meline! I was captured, and for one whole week, i was tortured by her and her cronies, cruel and vile people, and no help did I recieve! the dwarves, whom we had entertained, and grown so close in such a short time,they did not question the murder, did not question my disapearance" I look up to the crowd " surely it is suspicious? it is not easy to leave the mines in the deep snows, but leave I did!" I jump up onto the bar and raise my hands to the roof " finally, after much pain, I escaped my bondage, with the aid of a small man, a halfling, he gave me this glorious cloak" flourish" and a few supplies, he freed me! I fled, deep into the snows, without a thing to my name, dessed only in my what I wear, deeper into the falling snow, living off bark and snow, freezing, amazing it was that i made it, to come north, rather than south, for beyond the mountains lies a death worse than any other.

I rushed, through the blizzard, hoping against hope, that I could escape, i know not if that creature of hate still follows me. since this winter, i have travelled here, poor and friendless, telling my stories for a crust and mayhaps a bed in the stable, nothing I had, to trade, or barter, turned away from most as I was deemed a vagrant. until I came here, the first true city I have seen in ages, it is certainly fine that you have recieved me with kindness, instead of swords. i thank you for hearing my tale, It has been good to tell it to someone who truly cares" and with a bow I tumble head first, off the counter, over the lamp simutaniously tossing some powder to make it burn fiercely white, place it on the ground and sit back in my stool.

Looking first to the hand proferred, then to the mage himself I slowly shake my head " thanks but no thanks, Rodderick" I turn to look at the gathering, I walk into the crowd to the nearest table and take the grubby lantern off the table at place it on top of my recently vacated stool, I then turn back to the people and I do a neat backflip up on top of the bar and to the bartender I say " if i may?"

" My seat is fine, but he may listen, in fact as I am well trained in the verse I can aid you in gaining customers, I have been told that my stories have the power to transport you to far away places, as is my job as loremaster. but i would not presume to tell you how to run your business, but I can guarentee that I could fill this hall to the breaches, I am called Lolith, a name my recently lost master gave to me, she said it was of an elven origin, but it hasn't brought me any luck." I turn from the bar and say to the gathered, " what say you? would you as well like to hear my tales? I guarantee a pleasant time"



#4793 The Elf King Of Talmarron

" well sir Badtouch, I do not make a habit of sleeping in the town's water supply, nor do I seek to interrupt your illicit business. If you are so curious, ask your victim." he will explain all."



#4805 The Elf King Of Talmarron

Posted by Mizukage on 09 March 2007 - 09:06 PM in RP Archive

" how, foolish of me. the circumstances merely pointed at an unpleasant arrangement. I thought only for the best of the poor lad, we have been through so much this past night." So he is a bounty hunter.

" a acute and obviously dangerous man such as yourself, well trained in wilderness lore. you should be able to recognize what has happened, open your eyes boy and look around, how dense can you be? now if you excuse me, I must leave for Aldreida, Someone has to tell them what has happened."

I quickly stride forward and shoulder the paladin out of the way "excuse me sir Badtouch."

"not so fast, foole. Your story has a few, ahh, minor contradictions."

Laviler huh? this was getting interesting.

"Why are your hands in such poor shape, such deeply fine cuts are not habitual with a long fall into a treeline, nor by any usual hood weapon. plus the fact that the marauders would spare you your life, one of such a wealthy, sordid background. A foolish way to eliminate even an unknown merchant. now, if you please- "

understanding the minds of such gentlemen I pull out a flash of water that I had filled in the well I had spent the night and proffered it mockingly, keeping the other hand obviously on a set of knives.

"the truth if you will, I won't tolerate another lie from a supplicant."

"hmpf, foolish meatshield, running around the multiverse looking for sidequests, all the aid we need is right here. But like I said it is rather drastic. there is a force in this forest that can be summoned, but you must light the trees on fire, he will be summoned by the departing spirits of the trees and he can heal this interloper, we don't have much time so you should hurry, I will try to stop the bleeding and help him a little, I have a few items that'll work, here" I toss my flint and tinder to the boy " we need a huge fire, that oak he was hanging in will work"

and with that I give a smirk and turn to the body, taking out a flask of whiskey I had grabbed at the tavern the night before and pour some of it into the mans cuts.



#4843 The Elf King Of Talmarron

I stand awhile as if in thought, but my desires had already been met, a meat shield and a booty boy, what else could I desire? they seem to be good chaps, this will work. I continue on past the two and call back "so be it, but I do not have time to wait, we humans are now prey and to draw attention to our location would be folly, follow of your own accord Sir Badtouch, but remember, I Do not take kindly to failures. Your will be joining us to boy? lets go then."

With that I break into the trees, always searching for trouble, I like trouble.



#4816 The Elf King Of Talmarron

Posted by Mizukage on 09 March 2007 - 09:57 PM in RP Archive

I stop and turn to the boys " don't worry, they won't bother here again, especially with the armored child. If you will join me however, at least let me know why I would bother? What do you bring to a squad? it is very dangerous to trust someone you don't know and I wouldn't make such a mistake."

upon seeing the runtish boy hobble up to the counter with my food I reach out and grab it from his trembling hands, " you can take the roll lad" and with that I wolf down half of the simple stew.

Satisfied with the meal I look up and see the bartender talking with a rather boorish looking man, I quickly notice him to be a spellshaper, and with a quick sniff of contempt I finish my meal. " holding the bowl up I call to the keeper, "ahh, now thats a meal to be proud of, now, you were wanting to her of my travels then? It is good to be back amongst civilized people. Let you first know that I am a Loremaster, I have travelled far and wide across this continent, I have even travelled past the Far Seas, strange folk out that way. but if you'd rather speak with your, hmmm, friend over there, I can hold my tongue"
