-------------------------------

The dragon Baltimore had met soared high above the walls of Kuri-Lenghe. He swooped down, and landed in the Imperial Courtyard. A few nearby inhabitants of the city briefly panicked but the Imperial Guard bowed their heads to the dragon, and rushed inside the palace to fetch the emperor.

Soon the emperor came out, along with his physicians.

The Emperor whispered something to his guard.

'Ah, Blunt,' said the guard.

The Emperor kept whispering his words to the guard.

'The Emperor greets you. Do you bring the medical aid you told us of?'

'Yes,' said Blunt the dragon. 'If I could just bring you inside some kind of operating chamber, I could show you.

'Very well. Follow us round the back of the palace to the grand medical hall.'

Last OOC from me: No more OOC's, get up with the story, let's get on to the exciting part once we're all out of the city in a party and fighting!

Guardian of the Light · Dec 10, 2005, 09:54 PM // 21:54

Jack Yawned it was a tough duty to keep the Capital in order.

Last night the fire guardian had come and decided to say "hi" to the dragon and fired a "little" fireball at the dragon. The dragon and him had a little fight but no one was hurt seriously.....however they did wake everyone up

.

Alex: *Yawn* whens the meeting start?

Jack: When the Wind Guardian gets here

Alex: I think I see him coming.

Wind Guardian: Hey Guys am I too late?

Jack: Nope your early but lets start the meeting.

The Guardians went into their headquaters to decide on how to split up these adventurers. No one other then them was allowed in.

Jack: Well I think each group of 8 should have one of us since we know the lands of Cantha

Alex: I agree but how are we going to split them up.

They went over discussing about balancing them in the end there was 1 monk left to deal with.

Alex: Hmmm we have one one monk left to spare.

Jack: Well my group needs another person which should be a monk because we have only one(Eric) I'll take him.

Alex: Nice idea spliting up the teams according to us Water Guardian

Water: Thanks so Alex your stealth team ....(goes on explaing other teams)

Jack: Ok now lets go over plans to defeat the Sengii

By the time that the meeting was over it was time for bed they would explain this to the adventurers in the morning.

That night Alex and the forest Guardian were in the same room (the Guardians had 4 rooms 2 per room).

Alex (quietly): Do you think they know?

Forest Guardian: Jack is smart but I don't think he knows we're together.

Having an afair with someone was not illegal for the Guardian but having an afair between two Guardians WAS. The penalty for it was exspelltion from the Guardians.

Alex: What do you want to do when this war is done

Forest: Perhaps we should just tell Jack and live in peace

Alex: Not right away we should enjoy our secretly newly-weds for a while

Forest: We would have to get Married secretly first

Alex: ^_^ mybe after the war

Forest: well lets get some sleep

Alex: Ya....Sleep

They went to their seperate beds and went to sleep. Alex had remembered the 'sleep' they had gotten on their assignment together

Let the Fun BEGIN!

Shimus DarkRaven · Dec 11, 2005, 06:45 AM // 06:45

Here we go.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Shimus dabbed the sweat from his forehead with a loose piece of cloth. Man, thought Shimus, this jungle is bloody hot! William, closing up behind Shimus, sat to rest on a log. The men were already four days into their cross-jungle expedition. The Jungle of the Kiurn-Hai was no place to be lugging full metal armor with the heat and humidity both easily past mid-summers heat. So they decided to sit and rest a bit, on the condition they push even harder when they have to leave.

"This jungle is hotter then a chacken on fire!" Snorted out William Carlyle.

"Luckily for us, that means a pleasant evening." Shimus quietly replied.

William started humming an old warsong from the sounds, but Shimus was too concentrated and tired to tell him to stop, while he focused on the map.

"One Day more, at best. Only one day, and I'll reach it. Then maybe I can get some definite answers." Shimus mumbled, half under his breath.

Will kept singing while he pulled out an olden-style lute. He strummed a few chords, in what seemed to be a melancholy manner. Not wanting to push matters even futher, Shimus thought, he would strike idle conversation with the man.

"So, Will, where do you hail from, eh?" Shimus inquired.

"Native born, local raised. Canthan pure and true." He replied. It took a bit to come up with another question as Shimus was used to being on his own, without the company of anyone, not so much as a bird in a tree. Shimus didn't think much when he asked the following question:

"So, have you always been a drunkard, or is it a recently aquired past-time?" Shimus pondered. This seem to strike a nerve, or a ancient memory of some sort, as William half flinched, half mumbled something.

"You have no right to question me!" William almost half shouted. It was clear there was something that turned him into his self that was situated before Shimus today. Shimus was about to question him further on that subject, but he thought it an ill choice.

"So, do you have any family?" Shimus asked. That was the final straw, it seemed. So by putting two and two together, Shimus inferred something happened to his family and ever since he had been in an drunken stupor.

"I had meself a lovely wife, two fine young sons, and a beautiful daughter. But not anymore. They were taken from me, Grenth bless their hearts, by a plague...a plague of enemies, that is. The damn Sengii!" Shimus could see great pain in William's eyes as he finished his statement. "I just wish I could see them again..it all happened on a trip when I went hunting to fill our tables and storage with food to keep my family alive, to come back and find their mutilated bodies, profane and desecrated, upon pikes in my front yard. From there, I've never been quite the man I was, mind you, but I still am! No more questions!" William barked.

Shimus and Will got up, packed their things, and continued moving. Just another day now, and they'd be into the Temple of the Precursors, and only another two days then from his destination of Kuri-Lenghe.

To be continued...

All crap I deleted the worng post >.<

To sum it up an evil creature talks to the seer about something and how they need Gwen's Blood and 1000 souls

Symeon · Dec 11, 2005, 08:39 AM // 08:39

Bear in mind, if Shimus is reaching the city in 3 days, we should probably have this meeting then we leave 2 days after that, and he somehow will catch up with us from the city.

------------------------------------------

Everyone was getting up, dressing, eating briefly and then making their way to the meeting room, where the Guardians were already sitting. Eventually, everyone was sitting somewhere in the room, and the meeting began.

'We have assigned the groups, but if there are any changes to be made, please let us know,' said Alex.

Symeon frowned. He thought they would be choosing their own groups.

'Group 1, with Jack,' Alex read.
'Myself, Symeon Aethril, Xanthos Antilles, Eric Kasus, Anna Mossity...Inf the ranger? Verisy Maslon, and Puo-Hin, the elementalist.'

They all smiled, and wondered how the Guardians had made that group. They gathered in a corner as Alex began to read 'With myself will be....'

Verisy Maslon was a girl of about 18, a monk. She was quite small but fairly good looking, and looked to be from Ascalon.
And then there was Puo-Hin. He was Canthan, an aged elementalist, wearing an aeromancer's suit. He was middle-sized and very thin.
The rest of the group knew each other. They briefly introduced themselves to the other two.

When the meeting finished and all the groups had been assigned, the adventurers began to file out. The Guardian Jack came over to them and smiled. He knew this group would do well.

---------------------------------------

I have made it 8, but (yes) I was thinking one of them could die (namely, the elementalist, as we need two monks) and Shimus, when he gets here of course, could replace that. And Baltimore could make the party 9 with his necro and ele powers.

The undead Mesmer · Dec 11, 2005, 09:23 AM // 09:23

Hmmmm but what about the tengu and charr they are in conflict now let me finish that first.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The charr are retreating whe have won the battle.
Yes whe wont the battle but whe lost the war i sense undead coming through the portal in the temple.

Undead!!! What are they doing here? Baltimore said confused.
After you killed the lich The remaining undead ran away to the Fissure of Woe where they found a Portal whell they made an alience with the Charr and now they are here.

So you mean that the undead and Charr are allies now?
Yes and now whe have lost this part of the jungle whe gotta close it down come with me.
So they walked 5 miles away from the temple the tengu pushed a lever in the woods.
Watch out the vines might grab you.
And as soon as there whas a clear path everything whas covered with vines making a thick wall unpenatreble. Whe lost the war but they also did. They could hear Charr screams getting killed in the thick vine wall.
So now the temple is gone forever?
I dont know but it is for now. The time whill learn it....
-----------------------------------------------------------
rather short i know il expand my story sometime after you posted something.

BAD VERY BAD

!!!! If you put Jack in a different group it screwed up the idea of making different groups for different jobs plus I want JAck with you guys

. We can change around things its not like this HAS to be 'realistic'.

Should have posted this earlier

Light: Aggresive attack (warrior charge

)

Dark: Stealth

Spirt: Stardard group

Wind: Spiker

Water: Snare and RUN!

Fire: AoE stack

Forest: any ranger group anybody want to fill.

Besides a story with all melee guys is funner

. Also Assassin are melee too so I don't see any change.

Shimus DarkRaven · Dec 11, 2005, 09:42 AM // 09:42

OOC: I can always be the "flashto" story, I don't have to merge with you guys. I could be seperate, we meet for a brief time, and then I leave again on another quest. This way it wouldn't interfere with Jack

--The Shim

Guardian of the Light · Dec 11, 2005, 06:47 PM // 18:47

OOC: Actually I was wanting all groups to merge on the hill where the Sengii Leader is. There would be Sengii, Charr, Undead, Titans and us all fighting and then all of a sudden I throw in my twist

Sorry if this part of my story seems a little late.
-----

Eric awoke in a jail cell. He looked around.

Eric: ...so is this part of the deal?
Guard: Oh good your awake. *opens cell* *grabs Eric by the neck*
Eric: Ummmm...I can't breathe...
Guard: That's the point
???: Stop Major Eps.
Eps: My lady *drops Eric* Please forgive me...*begins to choke*
???: ...You know the punishment, an eye for an eye.
Eps: Ugh! *passes out*
Eric: ...so you know the Dark Arts?
???: As you know the Ways of the Monk.
Eric: Well can you help me? I'm looking for an alchemist named Serena, do you know where I can find her?
???: You're looking at her.
Eric: Well, its an honor to---
Serena: I know what you have come for. Amora has already filled me in. Here is the potion and Strangleweed.
Eric: What is the potion though?
Serena: You'll find out...*Fades into the shadows*

Eric left the cell room and went outside. Night had already fallen. Before Eric forgot, he wrapped the Strangleweed around his right hand. Eric thought, "How is this gonna protect me?" It didn't matter, for he saw something in the distance. It was some people wearing Green-Blue armor. They charged. Eric knew that it was a trick so he waited. The rushing men halted.

Eric: ? Who are you?
???: Is that him Jicmo?
Jicmo: I think it is. All hail Eric! The Grand Ruler of the Forgotten Canthans! *??? and Jicmo start kneeling before him*
Eric: Ummm...
Guard: Hey you! Get away from those guys! They are going to turn you into fodder!
Jicmo: Don't talk to our liege like that! *pulls out sword* AHHHHHHHHH! *charges*
???: Come this way my liege.

Eric followed the unknown man...

You were away for a while but I read the bit about Amora telling you to go to the alchemist so I made reference to it in my story, but then we brought you with us to the capital city...like thats wrong now or something?

you'd better continue this quick so we know how from here you managed to get to the capital city with us

OCC: sorry haven't posted in a while - story is becoming quite disjointed - I wil wait for a lead.

Synapse · Dec 12, 2005, 07:53 PM // 19:53

OCC: double post, sue me.

IC:

The skirmish with the Sengii had gone well the day before. Anna recalled those first moments when the creatures rushed them. They were huge and powerful and surprisingly quick. Anna had her gaze fixed upon one that was headed towards her and just as it fixed it’s eyes on her she filled it’s brain with her illusions of fear and pain. They were brutes, but they had simple minds that were easily overcome with the images Anna placed before them. Anna quickly cast her IW enchant and the creature was already dying before her blade bit. Anna could feel the zip of arrows in close proximity to her head but she had faith in the archers. She made quick work of three of the Sengii before the IW cooled down and just as she looked to disengage for the cool-down the wet smacking sounds of minions rising came to her ears. She saw out of the corner of her eye, the distaste on Symeon’s face as the minions lurched into the fray. The big warrior did indeed have an aversion to Grenth and his ways. At any rate, the minions gave her the chance she needed to wait out the recast time in safety. She cast IW once more and let her fathers sword loose on two more beasts before it was over as quickly as it had begun. She was pretty much drenched in Sengii blood and had a nasty rip across her shoulder but before she had a chance to consider the pain the monks began work on her and others with non critical wounds and her flesh was sealed.
Now, fresh from the morning meeting with the Guardians, she learned that she was to be teamed with all her companions from the ship in addition to a new monk and an elderly elementalist.. This was good news to Anna as she was comfortable around all of them and they had seemed to gel as a team. Now they were waiting for the proper time to depart, Anna wasn’t privy to all the details so she decided to take a walk and see if she could find something besides chacken to eat.

Guardian of the Light · Dec 12, 2005, 11:49 PM // 23:49

Nm its all good now

Shimus DarkRaven · Dec 13, 2005, 12:43 AM // 00:43

Where was I? Ahh...
-------------------------------------------------

"Here we are! Just as you asked me, I have led you!" Stated William Carlyle.

"Where's.."here" exactly?" Asked Shimus

"Don't be daft man, The Temple of the Precursors!" He exclaimed.

"Where? I don't see it." Shimus said.

"Right ahead of you, or are you blind?" Said William, half-jokingly.

Shimus plodded ahead, all he saw was thick undercover. He felt a slight downgrade in the hill, and he unsheathed his flamberge and used it as a machete to chop away dead limbs and underbrush..and when he did, he fell breathless..

Below them, in a vast jungle valley, like nothing he has ever seen before, was a great stone Temple, sided by two rivers. This was the Temple of the Precursors. It could only be described as sight-blinding, as it's walls were made with a smooth light-blue stone. Shimus half stumbled, half mumbled to himself about something always being at the bottom of a blasted cliff. William however, strode ahead and made way for Shimus.

After bumbling down the slippery slope for what seemed to be ages, Shimus and William reached the bottom of the valley. They were immediately greeted by some temple acolytes, which brought them to the stairs. There, the acolytes told Shimus to wait, while they took William off in another direction. That was the last time Shimus saw Will.

Shimus crested the top of the four hundred and thirty step jaunt with only minor sweating. Upon reaching the top, he was ushered into a room. Inside this room was a man in what seemed to be priestly robes.

"Welcome, Shimus. We've been expecting you." The unknown man said.

"Tell me how you know my name, sorcerer!" Shimus was ready for anything.

"Please, don't insult me. I'm a precursor, one of the few Canthan Precursors still alive. My name is Hylion, the lost one." Hylion replied.

"Well, then, sir, might I ask how you came to expect me?" Shimus inquired.

"You see, son, I'm blessed with the gift of foresight. I knew you would come seeking answers, and I'm here to direct you on the path towards enlightment" Hylion stated, point blankly.

"First off, I" Shimus started, when he was cut off.

Hylion picked up his sentence, "Want to know where my sister is. That was what you were going to ask, was it not?" He said.

Shimus gave his consent with the merest of nods. There they sat and coversed over lunch, dinner, through the night, and into breakfast before Shimus succumbed to his worldy fault of sleep. The Priest never seemed to tire. So they both consented they would continue their conversation on the morrow..

To be continued...
