Curse

Symeon scared people away.
Anyways...
Elias sighed, reading the scout's report from the archives sent from Ascalon. What a mess!
"Went into Nrthlnds starting at Pkn Sqr.
Followed Charr trcks to NW Surry pnt.
Rsted at West Surry
met up wth charr axe lord at a hot spring
could not continue - walled off.
Will rturn by dwn.
EDITORS NOTE: This note was apparently given to the scout's dog. The scout never returned, presumably dead.

Mylena walked straight into the crowd, and saw a table with several papers on it. Behind the table were a few scribes, who looked tired and overwhelmed. It appeared people were moving forward to sign up to something.
Adventure? Mylena simply joined the queue. Eventually she made it to the table, and signed the paper. Her eyes briefly skimmed something about Ascalon, the King's death, and a party heading to the Northlands.
'Is this a group to go to the Northlands? That's a long way away,' she said to the scribe.
'Yes, and you will soon understand the meaning of it all,' replied the scribe.
Mylena nodded and moved away from the table, She noticed someone looking and moving towards her...looking closely Mylena saw the person was a female mesmer.
'Are you on this adventure?' the mesmer asked as she reached Mylena.
'Yes...though it is quite a long way to go from here...' Mylena said wonderingly.
'Is that pouch on your belt...'
'Yes, I kindle my arrows with the tools inside it,' Mylena said, seeing where the mesmer was looking. 'Not only that...I have skills in the line of the fire element...'
'You can conjure the flame?'
'Somewhat, yes.'
'I am an elementalist by secondary class,' said the mesmer. 'You know, my mother kindled her arrows, too. Though, it was only for hunting aloes, that was probably nothing compared to you skill...'
'I like to think that I can do more damage than a ranger normally would with these skills,' mumbled Mylena. 'Not that I -'
She broke off as someone began to make an announcement.

Hey Symeon, I'm American! I have School!

End OOC

Dream Master Arance stood up once more. She pulled up her staff and walked to the podium once more. "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the last call to leave for the Northlands. We leave in an hour. I have also recieved a scouts report from the Ascalon Archives - north and east of Piken Square is a very dangerous area where larger Charr then ever have been spotted. This is not a place for just anyone. Now I will let my old friend Elias take a turn to speak"
Elias stood up, retied his cape, and came to the podium.
"I do not wish to scare anyone off, but this land is extremely dangerous. I suggest you leave a will to tell friends and family what to do if you don't arrive"
*All run to homes, leave notes, etc, pack belongings. Travelers with no family just stay :P... One hour passes*
"Men, and ladies, we depart!"

FIRST INTERMISSION
As the party left the city, a small crowd thronged nearby where the party left from. One man, wearing a cloak, said, "This will very much displease Lord Aquola. Very much indeed." The man ran to his house, and went to the birdcage. "Hello, dear message bird". He stroked the bird's neck, but the bird began nipping at his hand and he pulled back. "Fiesty, eh?"
The unnamed man begin to tie a message to his bird, when a dagger came to his throat. The first man turned around slowly to find himself in the arms of an assassin. The assassin said, with a tone of despise, "Aquola scum. His henchmen will never live to see the sun while I live. For I am the legendary Tuatha Mos"

Laris walked out of the city with the others who had decided to come along for the adventure to the Northernlands. He looked around, still feeling a little like he was some where where he shouldn't be. He glanced over at the others that were traveling aorund him, with his dark oddly shaped bow over his shoulder, and his quiver on his other shoulder, fully packed. Laris noticed something move very quickly to his right. He quickly unleashed his bow and pulled an arrow out. He closed his eyes and listened for the movment of his hidden enemy. The others looked at him and finaly relized what he was doing. When Laris finaly found his target he pulled his bow string back and let it go. As soon as he saw his awwor stop he heard the shriek of a women. He walks over, and sees a pool of blood on the ground. "Hmph..." Laris breaths. He glanced over at the others and nodded to them, to continue on.

Dhagon was the last in line of the group departing from the city, walking arms crossed, eyes studying, probing.

He took every moment he could to study his companions, taking in facts, observing behavior, all the while remaining silent, unnoticed.

Activaty suddenly sprung up from where the ranger named Laris was, whose bow was drawn, he had shot someone.

Dhagon strode over to where the corpse was, studying it. The arrow penatrated his lung. The figure looked suspisious. He wanted to ask the barely alive man, for any useful information, but he could not speak.

That idiot! He thought to himself, this man could've known something useful.
'Bah!' he continued to think, 'no use to it now'.
With that, he drew his axe, and decapitated the injured character.
He found items of much value, and looted them, without so much of a second thought to it.

With that, he strode over to the head scribe.

"You, elder, how long?" he asked.
"Oh, it promises to be a long journey, I--"
Dhagon had left before he could finish. He had the information he wanted.
He took his place behind all the rest, arms crossed, thinking.

Rianna was packed and ready to go and had been swept along near the middle of the group of adventures as they filed out of town, She was keeping to herself so far, not speaking to anyone, just listening and watching.
The trip promised to be a long one and there was plenty of time for meeting people. There was a scream from the rear of the group but she didn't turn to see. She would not have been able to see anyway, there were many people between her and the source of the scream. Suddenly the hair on the back of Rianna's neck stood up and she trembled slightly as a rush of power briefly infused her. "Someone has died", she said to no one in particular. She resisted the urge to raise a minion and just kept walking.

"Follow them, Krall! Follow the trace" whispered Artan to his stalker, who promptly disappeared into the shadows. "Today is going to be a good day" he said, smiling, as he followed his stalker.

Mercenary662 · Jan 20, 2006, 02:07 AM // 02:07

Laris didn't have to be a mesmer or elementalist genious to know that they were being followed. When the Head Scribe called for a rest stop at a spring, he knew something was bound to happen. He decided it was someone elses turn to deal with these trouble-some fools. As he knelt down, he dipped his hands in the spring and brought them back and drank from his cupped hands. While doing so, he heard the sound of something he wasn't quite sure of what it was.

Rafe · Jan 20, 2006, 02:44 AM // 02:44

Elias saw the enemy seconds before it happened. A small band of humans, eight people strong, leapt out of the undergrowth and began attacking.
Elias cryed out, "Dwayna! Help me guard these men from enemies who provoked us!"
As he cryed this out a white layer of armor formed around the team.

As he was walking, following his prey cautiously, Artan heard a noises ahead. The prey was fighting. This was not how it was planned. The prey shouldn't be harmed. His master would not be pleased if one of prey was harmed. He stopped, wondering what to do next. His stalker watched him silently, expecting an order. He decided to remain behind, and wait, hoping that the party would survive the attack. He petted his stalker, and whispered "The prey is mine, Krall. Their blood is mine. Mine! Soon enough, i will get what i seek...our master will be pleased, Krall."
He sat down, and listened to the distant fight, absorbing every single movement of the nature, gaining strenth from it. "Soon we will have blood, Krall" he whispered.

The attack was unexpected, but Dhagon did not flinch.

He looked around, and saw that the others had caught on.
The monk had even casted a protection spell already.

Dhagon decided it was best to conserve energy, and he also wanted to see his companions in combat. He wanted to study them, sight their weaknesses, observe their individual strengths, so that someday, he might use them to his advantage..one way or another..

He leaned himself on a nearby tree, a good distance, crossed his arms, and began to observe, as he has done so many times.

In the shadows, a small man, wielding a knife, crept up on the Dhagon. He licked his lips, and moved closer.

Just close enough or a quick slash to the throat he thought, and chuckled to himself.

The chuckle was enough for Dhagon to notice him.

Slowly, he looked over his shoulder, and right into the assassin's eyes. They glew green, and then black, and the poor man with the knife, was reduced to a pile of ash. {OOC: Skill - Vampiric Gaze}

Dhagon laughed harshly, and looked back upon the battlefield.
As predicted, the group was having no trouble dealing with these amateurs.

As the band of eight bandits were worn down to three in only a few moments, he saw one of the bandits forgetting his comrads in need, sneak around the side to a bush. The bandit has his eyes set on one of the scouts from the Shining Blade. The Scout only intended on taking the group out of the jungle and then resume his post. The bandit watched his second comrad slain, and wormed his way towards him. He drew his short dagger, and had it aimed towards the Shining Blade Scout's neck. Laris watched the bandit and pulled out his bow, but remembered his life as a White Mantle, and how he was supposed to hate the Shining Blade, how he could still hate the Shining Blade. He hesitated, but closed his eyes in regret and killed the bandit.

?? whats confusing?

Synapse · Jan 23, 2006, 03:20 PM // 15:20

I'm confused on two points. One, how does the shining blade fit in? The shining blade scout.....where did he come from , how long has he been watching our party? You said, "The Scout only intended on taking the group out of the jungle and then resume his post." What group? Why did the bandit want to kill him?

Point two: Artan, Who is his master? Who is "the prey" ? Isn't Artan a member of our group?

OOC:
ok, the shining blade scout was just a watch man in the city that went with the party (all of us), just to help them a certain distance and then return back to his post in the city or what ever. The bandit wanted to kill him cause...well there raiding party obviously didnt work, and if your a bad guy like him you''' want to take some one down if your going down. Laris didnt want to let the Shining Blade guy live because he was once a While Mantle, and they hated the Shining Blade, but he didnt want to "get his cover blown", so he let him live by killing the bandit.

Better??
