Re: The Cleansing

The conversation cut short by a door of all things opening up in the rock, mentally noting taht it wasa rather uncommon occurance. The figure that greeted them being a repulsive looking hunchback that looked like some mages experiment gone wrong, hidng his phyisical replusion at the sight. Volthar had seen worst sights though not by much only an encounter with a skin changer and lepers seen begging in city streets. Curling up one end of this mouth letting out a quick huff of air.
"Well I am sure we could ask you the same thing under other circumstances, but the situation as it is demonstrates I have little idea of what to expect at this point. So I will leave it to those who know this area to inform you"
A shudder creeping its way down his spine maybe it was the sight of this strange creature or maybe the nagging feeling he simply did not trust anyone in this group besides one.

Re: The Cleansing

I know not... I shall accompagny you to the king, tomorrow. now we sleep...

Jacob tought... would the king be angered by his less than strict obediance to his orders? or would he be pleased that the man was brought to him alive, and able to tell his tale? Jacob was sent to gather information about vicotnik's plans, ... this seems rather important... maybe he'll even be rewarded...

Re: The Cleansing

Gark stared after the Tirak as he sped on. He himself had stoped quickly gasping for breath, it had been a long time since he had really run any where. The heat from the Iron works was oppresive and was robing Gark of his energy, but the few seconds lent against the wall was enough to regain enough energy for the run that caught up with Garks leading Tirak.

"So this...new master. What is he like? You spoke to him, I saw that when i arrived. What did he say?" The Tirak finally spoke, Gark had almost thought him a mute. Despite his talking he did not slow his pace.
"He is worthy. I only had the pleasure of talking to him for a short while, but it was all I needed to decide I liked him. I know he means business, he is not one so easily controled and quietened. I can see him doing much, and I have given him my aid unquestionably and you all should too. As to what he spoke to me about there is not much to say. I was a bit confused it was almost like he had never seen my kind before, and despite whispers in his ear he made the decision about my evilness himself."

Gark paused and panted while running, "Now you answer me a question, How much further must we go at this ghastly pace?"

Re: The Cleansing

Seeing the food, he smiles. A warm and friendly smile, also an appriciating one. How long had he not eaten? He couldn't tell, but his first guess was that it had been a long, long time. Continueing on to the table, he sits down (be it on a chair or the floor, whichever is appropriate) and nods at the tiraks serving the food.

With great hunger and not many manners, he starts eating. It tastes good - but then again; every food he had now would probably taste good. Had he been insane, he could've sworn he heard his stomach mutter in thanks - but he wasn't insane, so he did not hear his stomach speak out.

"So what do you want to do with the people at the gate master?"

He looks up from his meal at the tirak and thinks for a split second. Then, after having emptied his mouth, he speaks.

"Send them here, if there are too many, send one that speaks for them all here."

The tirak messenger leaves to carry out his task, leaving him to carry on eating - watching the supplies that were being brought in as he chewed. Clothes, food for long journeys... He would have to remind himself later on for a map, or maybe directions. Or maybe he'd recognise the world once he got to the surface again....

For now, he'd just eat and wait for the visitors.

Re: The Cleansing

Nibimacarion Diciple Árgun smiles faintly and sits down on a particulary large rock.

-Ofcourse we can sit, I remember you are pretty fast when you have to get up aswell.

He hands the bag over

-It is a nice bow you carry, you elves should really be selling them.

He leans back.

-So, I have a proposition for you.

Volthar The hunchback just hisses a little bit and looks for a reply from someone else in the group. He seems to look most intently at Älhjögg and Kalthas, who seem to be in command.

Then a messenger arrives from behind the hunchback. This one might actually be even more ugly. They speak to eachother in a weird, yelping language and then the guard turns to you.

-The master wants you. Follow me.

Fluffie

A tirak steps up. It is the one you saved from your "saviour". He has something in his arms. It is a sword, you can see the hilt sticking out. The blade is wrapped in cloth.

He looks a bit nervous.

-Master. There is something that we would wish to present you.

The hilt looks familiar somehow. Something is stirred in the back of your mind.

Jacob You quitly go to sleep and wake up to a beautiful morning. And you wake up to the confused mumblings of people outside. They have found the dead dogs.

Do you wish to do something before taking off?

Gark The tirak looks embarrased and slows down.

-Not much further now little friend.

He seems to ponder what you said and suddenly you have reached a cavern, it looks like a guardhouse with two tunnels paralell to it. The tunnels are connected to the cavern with small openings, not big enough even for you to pass. The tirak sees your interest and replies before you ask.

-It is openings for shooting at intruders through.

He quickly walks through the cavern were there is a small gate. The gate is closed but is opened as you reach it.

Outside there are four soldiers. Dressed in the same way as Gorion was.

They look at you with discuss and one of them mumbles something in a language you have not heard before.

The tirak looks at them and begins to explain that you ahve a message for Vicotnik and you will accompany them, they start to talk back but he threatens not to give them more weapons if they don't cooperate and they just sigh and nods.

One of them, with a nasty scar over his cheek bends over and takes a look at you.

-So duckling, do you have any special needs? Can you walk in our pace?

The other merchants laugh.

Re: The Cleansing

His face turning to a sour smirk, one eye half closing on his contorted face, resembling more a person about to snap from amdness than his calmer look.
"Well thats just dandy we are now udner the bidding of some master or another, I just hope they look a bit more pleasent than those two. I have seen plague victims look more appealing."
His face turing back to a its more slender controlled expression, Volthar letting out a few mumbles his luck was getting worst since he joined this quest not really caring if he offended anyone with his outburst.

Re: The Cleansing

(Is this the one from the picture?)

"Thank ... you."

As the tirak holds out the cloth with the hilt sticking out from it, something seems to budge him from the back of his mind, telling him to go ahead, to go and take it. With his right hand, he reaches out after having put the scimitar away, on the table.
He takes the hilt of the blade, slowly but firmly closing his fingers around the hilt. Reaching out with his free hand, he takes the cloth and opens it, revealing more of the sword. Uncertain as to what he is exactly the feeling, he takes it out of the cloth, holding it in front of him - looking up and down at the blade. It looks, it feels...

He takes a short swing, making sure not to hit anyone or anything.

...it handles, familiar.
He closes his eyes and swings it around, not only trying to feel how it's balanced and how it handles - but also to see if he can seduce the feeling in the back of his head some more to come out into the open... Had this been his' before?

Re: The Cleansing

Nibimacarion sat down in front of the diciple while the diciple spoke, then talked himself.

"Most elven species, you must realise there is not an elven species but many, are pacifists, they would never sell a weapon of any form to anyone. Not to mention a human would probably be incapable of handling it, let alone taking care of it. Unlike human bows, elven bows are made out of living wood, coaxed into its shaped and strung carefully with an enchanted string. The strings are deemed unbreakable but the wood, while powerfull and extremely resilient, requires an extraordinary amount of care, without this care the bow will die in a matter of weeks and become useless shortly afterwards."

Taking his pack and setting it down besides him, the bow next to his right hand and the pack slung over his left shoulder, so that he could get up, prepare his bow, draw an arrow and shoot in a single fluid motion. If he was lucky, he could even mount his pegasus in the same go.

"Quite clearly we do have things to talk about, I assume you and whoever you work for must want my services quite badly, considering the troubles you've already gone through to attain them."

Re: The Cleansing

Älhjögg graces the freaks with naught but a quirked brow and a pursed mouth. Not exactly what he had expected, but he figures this forage into teh underground will most likely be a brief one, so he smoothens his features and follows as the others enter the opening.

Re: The Cleansing

Vea giggles softly at Volthar's comment. It would take a lot to be as ugly or uglier than those two. She keeps herself concealed in his pack, still expecting danger. If they didn't know she was there the better it would be for her and perhaps their group.

Re: The Cleansing

Jacob A excellent choice sir!


You get dressed and leave after Koke has paid your bill.

As you are on the same way back as you just used to getting here Koke sets the pace. And it is high. By midday you go over a large hill and Koke turns around to see if there is anything following you. He halts.

-Look.

His voice is quivering.

As you turn you see something, not on the ground but in the sky.

To the east it is black. Not dark as clouds, waiting to pour rain over the country, but black. Almost like it is sucking the light out of the sky.

-Etin save us.

Koke has turned white.

Volthar, Vea, Kalthas, Älhjögg Heh, you freaks

You are escorted through the gate and into a tunnel. The gate is closed behind you.

Your guide takes you deep into the mountain and into a large cavern, it looks like a entire city is situated here, tough most of it is derelict. The smell is not the nices one you have ever encountered.

In the middle of the cavern there is maybe fifty of the hunchbacks. They are all ugly, tough maybe not AS ugly as the first two.

The guide directs you to one of the houses.

Inside there are more hunchbacks, and a creature so strange you have not seen anything like it before. It looks like a tall man, touch instead of skin it seems to have paper, old yellowed paper. Its eyes is vivid however. It seems to be dressed in some strange, ageold cloth, that seems to be falling to pieces.

In it's hand it carries a sword. It seems to be examining it. Very closely. In fact. he looks almost like he is in trance.

It is a remarkably beautiful sword, tough probably not a good one, since it has a blade made out of bronze.

Fluffie It openes up a window to your youth, your mind goes into the sword and when you can see again you can see a king in a warchariot. He is wearing three crowns ontop of eachother, it is the king you saw in your last vision. It is you.

He is racing his chariot down through the streets, the blades on the side creating a path for him and his followers, following on strange creatures.

He reaches his destination: A huge tower. From the top of the tower energy is pouring out. You can see how the athmosphere is changing were the energy is apearing. Something is entering this world.

The man in the chariot jumps of and races up the stairs. The sword you are holding, is in his hand.

He reaches the top of the tower, it is a huge platform with a sceptre in the middle. It is the sceptre of deamons, the two souls who were chasing eachother are immobilised. The light is focusing on the sceptre. As the king steps up he sees a beautiful man, perfect in every aspect. he is standing all naked, his clothes are by his side.

Vicotnik.

He mutters words into the wind. Words that carry across time and space.

His attention is focused on the light in the sky.

The king steps up

-Your arrogance ends here Vicotnik, you have proven that you are the greatest wizard in the world, your competitors are dead. Why take it further? You are going to bring the gods down upon us. can't you see?

Vicotnik doesn't seem to hear but seconds later he stops muttering.

-Jachul, king of the three kingdoms, commander of the legions and the people of the forests, enslaver of the tirakis. Behold!

Over king Jachuls head the sky explodes. A rift apears. Something cold streams out.

-It is already to late my lord.

Vicotnik doesn't seem scared, nor does he seem to regret bringing down the wrath of the gods.

-The punisher has arrived. He has come to take me. Do you think I should let him?

The rift widens as a great set of grey hands grabs the sides of it and pushes it open.

-Do you! Do you think is should trade MY life for yours! MY immortal and IMPORTANT life for you people, you minions.

Vicotnik clearly seems insane.

-I won't!

Suddenly the rift is big enough and the punisher pushes through. He Turns and seeks for Vicotnik and then


*BAM*

You are sucked back.

You are in the present.

Someone is tapping your shoulder.


-Master. We brought the guests from the western gate.


At least you now know your name.

Jachul.

Re: The Cleansing

Ignoring the sight of most of th creatures with little interest, spotting various bits of trade equitment dotted around the strange city either stolen or made. Being lead to a house by one of the hunchbacks to be greeted by the sight of an aged man, if it was a man, but aged to point of resembling a corpse. Volthar narrowing his eyes to thin slits looking him up and down carefully, seeing the bronze blade held in his hands worn over time but remarkble undamanged for such a soft metal, Volthars expression turning abck to somthing of a more placid look unierested look seconds later.

No I'm not much to look at am I? I can see this will be a very harrowing journey. They still should not mock me though. Garks feelings about himself were coming back. What good is a duck? Gark sucked in a deep breath at the merchants snide remark,

"That depends, on how fast you travel with your large empty head as a burden."
Not smart but it was too late Gark had allready said it. Not that it would really make any difference. They had obviously allready made their decision. To them Gark was a joke and likely to slow them down. Gark hoped, but also doubted, that there would be an oppertunity to try and prove himself to this rabble.

"I'm sure that it will be no trouble keeping up with you, but don't forget that you have to play nice if you want your supplier to continue supplying you with you weapons." This was the one thing that Gark had to buy him some leaniency. Gark was sure that this weapon deal would come to a sharp end once Gark had succesfully delivered his message to Vicotnik. but they didnt know that, did they?

Re: The Cleansing

Gark They stop laughing as soon as you utter the words and their smiles disapear.

They mumble and turn

-So come on then

They are keeping a high pace out through the mountains and down the mountainside.

There is something wrong, when you went inside of themountain it was not near evening, and now it it completly dark. The merchants seem a bit frightened but look determined not to show it to you.

By the mountains there are four wagons, they are being loaded by carriers. Loaded with big boxes, they look heavy.

The merchants begin loading their burdens and soon everyone is ready.

You start your walk, heading away from the mountains.

Soon you start felling tired.

You all stop at a stream to let the horses drink and then you continue. Another hour passes before you reach a inn.

The lead merchant grumbles and walks up to you.

-So you kept up....so, do you have money to pay for the room? And not that western money, I mean really money with the fist of Vicotnik stamped on it.

Nibimacarion

-Well yes.

Árgun listens to your words and then replies.

-We have kept our eyes on you for some time now and we would like to know if you want to serve us in a task. What can we offer you? Is there something you want?

Jacob Koke nods and you continue, tough he still seems a bit shook up.

You see the capital city far in the distance, but the day is nearing it's end. Do you wish to rest or to continue until you fall over (possibly to reach the city before they close the city gates)

Re: The Cleansing

Digging through Volhar's bag Vea finds a small sharp bit. Too long had she been in the bag without knowing whtat was going on and everyone was being too quiet, Cutting a small hole in the bag she peers out and gasps softly, but loud enough for Volhar to hear. The first sight she saw the figure with the sword. He looked so odd, she didn't really know what to think. And what was he doing with all these hunchbacks.

Re: The Cleansing

"So come on then," One of the merchants said before they continued on. Gark stood for a second, he had managed to get out of the confrontation unscathed. He would have to be wary still though, who knows what would happen if they caught him unawares. Gark skipped to catch up and stayed near the back of the group so he could see where they all where. Trudging through the mountains Gark could not shake the feeling of foreboding. The eve was dark, far to dark for the time and steadily the group seamed to grow more agitated. Jumping at shadows and checking their weapons constantly. Fear seeped into Garks head and grew like a blossoming flower. Gark could not fathom why he was so scared but he tried his best to cover it up, and he felt he was doing a better job than any of these merchants.
They reached the inn when Gark was in a state of tired delirium and several times he caught himself before he tripped and collapsed on a small pebble. His leg was also playing him up and a few times he had to stop and stretch it out.
“So you kept up....so, do you have money to pay for the room? And not that western money, I mean really money with the fist of Vicotnik stamped on it.” The lead merchant grumbled at Gark. Gark floundered, he had no money. All he had was his mothers ring, but that was for emergencies.
“No Sire,” Gark began, “Unfortunately I have managed to get by with out the need for much money.” Gark had decided that he would only say of the ring if the merchant got too angry.

Re: The Cleansing

Älhjögg follows quietly, remaining alert just in case. His brow raises as he sees the city contained within the mountain. A question came to his mind, wondering whether these hunchbacks had created all of this, or if they had taken it from some other subterrainian civilization.

In any case, they are brought into a house and presented with a creature of ancient appearance. Älhjögg makes no move to initiate conversation: Right now this is the rangers' expedition. They will be the mediaters.

Re: The Cleansing

Nibimacarion looked straight at the diciple, then thought, nothing moved around them as he listened to only the wind blow for a few seconds, the heavy breathing of the diciple in front of him, the soft and ryhtmic breathing of the pegasus and, most interestingly, the complete lack of movement amongst the others on the mountain.

"You must know then that I'm a rather lopsided person, I'm a smuggler which are generally seen to do just about anything for money, but on the other hand I'm a silver elf, a pacifist of nature who would prefer not to mingle with humans at all. My choices where made long ago and you must see that I shall not fight for money or power, like many a silver elf I would rather retreat from where my enemy goes then to fight unless I have good cause to stay. As such the only thing that I can ask of you, would be to show me a cause that I respect, 1 that I feel deserves to be fought for. You shall also find that it is not easy to convince a silver elf, for while I am 1 of the younger silver elves, I've already lived longer then most humans will live."

Re: The Cleansing

Jachul quickly steadies himself, controlling the anger. He would very much like to drive his fist into something, or someone... But this wasn't the time, these weren't the ones to hurt. He turns around, looking at his visitors.
He nods his head and his shoulders a bit, almost like a small bow.
"I am Jachul..." he says, with a serious tone; after all, this was for the first time since his awakening that he had spoken, or even known, his own name.
He lightly leans on the hilt with on of his hands as he speaks, the tip of the blade down on the ground, the sword standing up.

Re: The Cleansing

Jacob You and Koke quickly close in on the city but before you have reached it, they have closed the gates. Koke seems selfconfident and starts to look for his letter of passage.

It is gone. It must have been lost when the dogs attacked.

He looks at you in a hopeless kind of way.

-They won't let us in before dawn, and by then it might be too late. What are we going to do?

Fluffie, Volthar, Vea, Älhjögg The tiraks all look at you. Awaiting your next move.

Gark The merchant grumbles and then walks in

-This is only a loan you halfman.

He pays for your sleeping quarters.

-You are to sleep with the lower classes.

He points at the large room.

-You sleep on a chest, in wich you place your belongings.

Then they all disapear upstairs to the better rooms.

The clientel all seem to be invalids, lacking arms, legs, noses or just carrying huge scars.

They all seem to have been in battle.

And they all stare at you.

Nibimacarion

-Well well, I am also a man of principle and I think we can agree that some things are just sacred. We are commencing this cleansing, not in order to kill innocent people, wich we will try to avoid but to SAVE innocent lives.

Árghun smiles.

-You have been around a while, you are probably as old as I am, maybe even older. You have seen that humans are growing, both in power and numbers.

He looks sad.

-Have you seen any dragons lately? I saw one when I was a boy, it was dead. Slain by a thousand men. That is the future of ALL species. Humans will grow more and more powerfull, and choke the rest of the world.

Suddenly Árghun straightens up and looks you straight into your eyes.

-If not Vicotnik is there. With all of mankind under the rule of Vicotnik they...

Árghun hesitates

-We, will be a force to reckon with, but not one that would be hostile. It would be a empire of peace and understanding.

"Aye! We bring news for the king, let us in or it'll be your heads hanging atop the city gates to warn wrongdoers!"

Re: The Cleansing

The creature or whatever it was seemed to speak its name as though it was newly learned, least thats how it seemed for the briefest moment before being replaced with a harder tone, though he could of been mistaken it did not really matter. The serious tone of the greeting throwing him of for the breifest second, Volthar deciding to introduce himself in a formal manner considering the perilous situation they where in.
"Volthar the swift, entertainer and adventurer of no famed skill yet, at your service"
A mannered low bow followed suit quickly, one hand tucking itself under himself, whilst the other sways outwards a little. Rasing slowly only to reach back and fiddle with his blade for the few second, pushing the blade out a little so it would not get so close to his head next time.
"Apologise no harm meant simply making sure I dont cut myself stupidly, would be all rather embarrasing to be injured by your own hand without even being in combat."

Re: The Cleansing

"None taken, bard."

Jachul looked at the group brought in front of him, wondering if they knew the land - and more importantly, wondering if they were travellers, perhaps capable of giving him directions. It was likely, an entertainer wasn't likely to stay put... Or at least, that's what he figured.

"If I may ask, why have you come to this... place?"

Where they here for him maybe? Could it be, after all, he had just awakened.
He had killed Gorion, a servant of Vicotnik though. Did his foul magic spread so far? Could he sense his subjects, and more importantly in this case, could he sense them... dying, and the reason why?

He tilted his head and frowned for a second, with eyes closed. When he looked back at his 'visitors', his expression was a more grave one.

Maybe they are...

"Surely you haven't come for... me?"

...assassins.

As Jachul suspisciously spoke the last word, his right hand switched from leaning on, to steadily holding the hilt of his blade. The bard had already drawn his partly, seemingly to just keep himself from beheading himself. Jachul's muscles tensed slightly, keeping the tip of the blade on the ground, but ready to defend himself.

Re: The Cleansing

Volthars eyes following the creatures hand slowly tighten a grip on the hilt of his blade, listening intently to the words he spoke. Closing one eye in an odd manner holding it for a second before leting his eyelids snap open, hands staying pacily by his sides for now.
"Truth be told I know not, we travel the path of a blind eye, scurrying away from the watching glares. I am no assasin nor am I a messenger, I may not seem much to you but my pride would shudder at such a sinister or demeaning task. No I say to you I am simply a traveller seeking tales of excitment and adventure of a specific kind"
Volthar shifted the weight on his left leg, space them apart a little more if this turned bad the room allowed in the hut meant he would have to act quick.
"Mayhaps you may want question our guide more than me, though he seems the quiet type so what you would get I be certain it would quench your parched curiosity"

Re: The Cleansing

ooc:
yay... read up. i am assuming that i am speaking to...

dunin - a champion warrior person, bit silent and straight to the point
darkling - a 'disturbed' elfish bard kind of person, with dragonsjem in his backpack, who is an equally funky brownie
two NPC rangers who guide you

or are those others also still with the group? mrmao, the lizardman and the knight no dachi?

//

So he isn't an assassin... Or at least he doesn't claim to be. thought Jachul. Even though Volthar changed his stance, it was understandable: wether he was an assassin or not, seeing someone else ready himself for battle meant it was only natural to prepare yourself. Jachul looked at the others, they were being suprisingly silent. Maybe they were tired or hungry, because from the looks of their clothes, it looked like they had been journeying.

"Sit if you wish, there ought to be enough to go around." he said, gesturing at the table. He himself kept standing, though relaxing his sword arm and body. Looking at the group, he waited for one of the guides to speak, hoping one of them would state their purpose here...

Re: The Cleansing

"Your intentions seem noble, though I have my doubts on wether they can be executed as easily as you make it seem, regardless, you have my bow and my eyes, but my trust you are yet to earn. If you are not afraid of heights, and my friend the pegasus is willing, we can be anywhere in Nidland before the end of the day."

After saying that, Nibimacarion got up dexteriously, slinging his backpack over his shoulders and fastening it as he stood up, securing his sword once more and carefully attaching his bow to the rest of the pack, then extending his hand to the diciple to help him up.

Re: The Cleansing

OOC: Okay Ärk: It is seriously getting time to weed out the deserters. Only I, Dark and dragon are playing in our party, so lets just be done and over with the NPC's.

Älhjögg frowns as it turns out the rangers seem to be cowered by the sight of the creature, thus leaving the talking to the other two, visible, members of the party.

"I'm Älhjögg and we are here to negotiate for passage under the Wall, nothing more" he says plainly. When the king creature takes a hold of his sword, Älhjögg straightens up from his formerly leaning position and brings his spear to his side, though it is still standing with its butt to the floor. With only one hand on it, the other is left free for his sword. Mind you, it rests idly by his left side.

He glances over to Volthar, thankful that the elf hasn't revealed their mission and hoping that he won't later on. They know nothing of this creature's allegiances save for what it chooses to tell them, so the Kar has no plans on making them seem anything more than a group of travelers or pilgrims.

Re: The Cleansing

Jacob ooc: lol

A head is seen atop the crest of the wall.

-Who dares to speak! Identify yourself or I will have the archers pierce you!

Nibimacarion

The diciple accepts your help but shakes his head at the possible flight.

-I am not scared of heights, but I do not trust the pegasi kind. They have never had a keen eye on me. Anyway, I do not need you to go eastwards to Nidland. I need you to go west. To Hynsolge. You are correct in your estimation of the difficulties, but with your help and that of others it is possible to outweigh the numbers of the opposition. That is why we need a smuggler. We need you to bring us something, an object of great power. We need you to bring us a sceptre from the kings old. Do you think your mount can take you to the coast and back without resting?

(will do the rest of you when i get home this afternoon, have to dash now

Re: The Cleansing

(I'm assuming I don't know where I am, so that I also don't know where they are going.
And I agree on the dusting out the NPCs really, two rangers as guides seems fine, but the other are just not active... Maybe they can fall in love with a Tirak? )

Their leader, or at least, that's what Jachul assumed the now speaking warrior was, too shifted into a more battle ready position - though not in an all too obvious fashion.
If they were just seeking passage - and they seemed honest in their intent - they probably were not here to try and defeat him. So he relaxed entirely again, going back to just leaning on his sword; using it as a kane. He hoped this'd settle the tense atmosphere in the room a bit...
Looking at the leader, he spoke. "If you seek passage I am sure you will find it here, unless the Tiraks give me a reason not to allow you. But if I may ask, where are you going, I am not familiar in these parts, and with what purpose?

Re: The Cleansing

"There and back in a day and a half, but not without rest. My pegasus excels in speed, not durability. At most it'll fly 4 to 6 hours straight, and it's already done 3 today. I'll have to go out to the coast and rest there, I know some places where I could harbor a pegasus for a night without attracting attention, well, to much attention anyways."

Almost jumping over to his pegasus, Nibimacarion again nimbly mounted his pegasus, then looked back at the diciple.

"Name the town, I'll be there by high noon and back here before noon tomorrow."

Well he was stupid enough to pay for my sleeping quarters, but maybe the joke is on me. These quarters are terrible. Gark stared at the horrific injuries these men bore. All eyes that could see were trained on him. Gark was sure that he would have to sleep with one eye open, if he could manage it. The journey had tired him out and all he wanted was a place to sleep.
"Which chest is mine?" Gark queeried after clearing his throat.

Re: The Cleansing

Gark The atmosphere is indeed tense.

The innkepeeper gestures towards one of the large, flat chests.

-I don't have one as tiny as you, maybe you want to sleep somewhere else?

He has a disgusted look on his face

Nibimacarion

Árghun smiles.

-I knew I could count on you!

He reaches into his robe, and gives you a map.

-The village is called Grönäng. The problem we have been facing is that it is not on the ground but in the air.

Seeing your puzzled face he laughs

-Yeah, not very common is it? It is a floating village, made out of the same wood as our magnificent ships are. A year ago a graverobberer managed to steal a sceptre that should belong to US, to the dynasty who ruled Nidland thousands of years ago. It is connected to our faith and we need it.

You are a smuggler, maybe you can sneak in and grab it. It is probably locked up.

Can You do it?

Tirakcity (Volthar, Vea, Fluffie, Älhjögg Let's say that they can act as a buffert, your flak

The tiraks all pay attention to you, they seem to be unsure of how to act.

Re: The Cleansing

"I believe you mistook me for a common thief there, but I will see what I can do. I'm neither a master of stealth or a master of the lockpick, but I am a master of negotiation and a master of my bow. I believe the last 2 should do. Either way, I assume you want me to bring it directly to your capital? That seems like the safest place for an artifact anyways."

Waiting merely for a reply, a simple yes or a no followed by where he should be bring the sceptre, Nibimacarion checked over his gear again, then used the map to plot the fastest possible route

Re: The Cleansing

-Yes, take it to Khánikhèl. Take it to the large palace in the middle. The labratia, it will come to good use.

As you mount your stead Árghun hesitates.

-Better yet, take it to the fortress of hell. It is marked on your map.

On your map it is marked, in the mountains betwean Hynsolge and Nidland. Not far from where you are now.

Re: The Cleansing

"Very well, I shall be there as soon as I can."

With a short wave and a whisper into the pegasus's ear, Nibimacarion takes off again, the pegasus quite clearly eager to get away from the place for it almost throws Nibimacarion off with its sudden acceleration, followed by jumping off the side of the road, falling a good 3 meters and then picking up enough speed to go airborn, the pegasus's wings flapping at an abnormally high rate as it picks up speed and altitude faster then ever before, the diciple disappearing into a small dot within minutes, then disappearing altogether as the pegasus rounded a mountain, its wings now back to normal.

After only an hour and a half, they cleared the mountains and changed course towards the city that was marked on his map, villages and cities passing below, the humans so small they where almost invisible even to Nibimacarion's trained eyes.

Re: The Cleansing

"I don't have one as tiny as you, maybe you want to sleep somewhere else?"

"What could be better than this? Or were you meaning that my filth has no place in even this humble room? I have traveled many miles from the city under the mountains carrying a message of great importance to Victonik and anywhere I can rest my head is a blessing. So unless you want to keep me awake much longer I must sleep to forget my hunger. And this chest," Gark gestures towards the deteriating chest, "is more than addequate, thank you very much."
Gark looked around the room at the man staring eyes, he had hoped that the mention of Victonik would calm them . but he still could not tell.

I cannot run if iI do where will I go ? I could go back to the City under the mountains? No, iI could not stand the shame of failure. but where then?

Gark could not think of anywhere, because he had never been to this region and he did not know his way around. He thought about the blow pipe conceled in his jacket.

That at least would buy me some time.

Re: The Cleansing

Nibimacarion And they in turn cannot see you. As you climb you glance behind you.

It seems like stormclouds are gathering over the mountains.

Then you realice they are covering the horizon, it is like blanket över Nidland, and you can almost swear that it is moving towards Hynsolge.

You quickly put the clouds behind you, moving towards the coast.

You see the village, it does indeed look terribly unusual. It looks like a platform of wood, with a couple of wooden houses on top of it. Something is hanging underneath it. It looks like a set of anchors.

You see several people out on the platform tough you are so far away they probably haven't spotted you yet.

Gark As soon as you drop Vicotniks name the innkeeper freezes. He bows slightly and drops off without a word.

As you turn towards the chest everyone is looking at you.

One man, missing his right arm and left leg comes up to you, supported by a crutch.

-You are doing WHAT little one?

He seems both surprised, and angered.

Jacob

-The Vile One?

Conversation erupts atop the crest and soon the captain in charge leans over.

-You have a leter of passage stranger?

Re: The Cleansing

OOC: No, I insist. Lets dump all the NPCs and continue alone.

(Map < search for Hynsolge and Nidland to the east.

Älhjögg's eyes scan slowly over the gathered tiraks, his face plain. He disdains this place. Dark cavern roof instead of the open skies of his home isles. The sooner he gets out of here the better.

"We are headed for Khaanikel and its port, and our business is our own," he says, his face neutral. An uneasy feeling about this whole situation rises slowly in his belly, and his thumb taps restlessly against the pole of his spear as he looks to his companion.

Re: The Cleansing

Nay, ofcourse not... if I would have been caught with that in Nidland, they would have cut me open to see if there was anything magical residing inside of me. I received no letters from our king, all he gave me was the order to retreive all the information I could uncover, and his best wishes

(ooc: I don't think he gave me a letter of passage, right? or did he? if he did ofc I'll be showing it...)

Re: The Cleansing

(Link doesn't work...)

Their business is indeed their own... thought Jachul, eyeing them over once more. They didn't seem to expect, or even accept, hospitality, for none of them had taken anything from the offered food. Raising his shoulders and nodding towards the exit as a gesture that he thought it was alright for them to pass through here, he had one last question. "So no business with Vicotnik then?"

Re: The Cleansing

Nibimacarion carefully steered the pegasus around, making a couple of circles at ever decreasing range to try and see if he could see some place to land easily, preferably without destroying things such as 1 of his pegasus's wings. It was painfully obvious none of the buildings would make a good place to land, and the walls while not very high where not a preferable place either.

Left with only 1 option, Nibimacarion turned the pegasus directly towards the village, aiming to overshoot it at a dozen or so meters, high enough to not be so threatening as to get shot at, but low enough to make sure he would be noticed. Swooping low over the wall, no more then 4 meters seperated the pegasus's feet from the top of the wall and the guards that would invariably be on it, then crossing over the city at a reasonably low speed.

Pulling up a little as he crossed the wall again and left the village, only to turn around and come back on the opposite course, lower and yet slower this time, the pegasus almost stalling as it crossed the wall at less then a meter, the guards having moved out of the way already. Coming down far faster then normal, Nibimacarion didn't want to risk overshooting and smashing into a wall, before pulling up at the very last moment, the pegasus almost stopped in mid-air, before landing softly slightly after where the 2 roads crossed eachother.

Re: The Cleansing

ooc - i say give them achance or at least leave them around to be a meat sheild er i mean backup and we where offered food? im losing my touch

Volthar letting the scene playing itself out smple smillingt a little as the two talked, mulling over his growing hunger. Stepping over to the table oicking up what appears to be bread though rather mishapen at that. Bringing it up to his nose giving it a sniff before taking a chunk out of it greedly.
"Vicotnik, vicotnik..."
Reapting the word a few times in a puzzled manner as though appearing confused, taking a few more bite of bread followed by some fruit slices.
"Ah yes as i recall that refers to some self procliamed prohecy of genocide, cannot say i find that kind thinking appealing myself. Though I never admitted madness helped ones sense much, least total madness its alright in small doses mind you, sharpens the mind"
Letting of a rather wide grin holding piece of undercooked pink meat between his slender fingers, a burst of flames suddenly coming searing hot flames springing forth between his fingers.charing the meat to almost a black cinder for a few breif seconds, giving it a shake and blowing on it before eating it down in a few bites.
"By the way might want tell your freinds that not all of us like our meat raw, I preffer mine well done myself"
The same burst of flames coming forth a few more times as Volthar asatisfied his hunge, giving his backpack a slight shake.
"I know your in there and if have not eaten all our supplies yet there food out here of some kind,I had plans for that fish so you had better not of gotten into that"

Re: The Cleansing

Vea gives an slightly annoyed "humph" before climbing out of the bag and onto Volthar's shoulder. Placing her hands on her hips she stomps her foot once in stubborn manner.
"I was SUPPOSED to be hiding"
She pulls on Volthar's hair defiantly before noticing the food. Her eyes growing big in hunger. She had resisted herself....mostly...while in the pack so she still had a little room for a feet. Jumping to the table she picks up the nearest small piece of bread and stuffs it in her mouth, turning back to Volthar remembering she was supposed to be upset with him.
"And I won't forget what you did!" She utters muffled. Swallowing the piece of bread she sticks out her tongue before turning back to find a piece of fruit.

Re: The Cleansing

"Yes, yes as you wont forgive me for the last time I upset you either or time before that and so on, though that has not stopped you staying around regardless for someone who is supposedly upset with me so much"
Sighing to himself in a serious moment for a change, his mind having having gone back to thinking about this whole mountain situation. Putting any grim thougths aside considering how it was imrpoving slowly, letting out a slight chuckle out of nowhere.
