Litheene is swept in surprise by Ryvin, maintaining an expressionless face in front of the Aes Sedai, but she returns Ryvin a friendly look I know how you feel. You are most welcome.
Hesitating on her way out, Litheene turns to measure the Aes Sedai She ordered us, and she managed to ward the matron, strong as she was, without the matron breaking out. Is she really so powerful? Who is she?
The Aes Sedai stares at everyone, and in a tone that is all to familiar to novice, accepted, run aways, kings and queens that do not take heed the advice of an Aes Sedai, she speaks again.
i said
Litheene backs down under the intense order, sitting on a nearby collapsed wall.
Ryvin snarls her rage as she sits beside Litheene. "This better be good, you crazy old bat," she snaps. "If you've gone and lost your mind under the a'dam, I'll leave you here without a qualm. Mark me for true!"
Tesliin brokes no further arguement, taking a seat quickly and silently.
Alathea sits obediently and falls silent. Although her expression is sullen, she lowers her eyes and looks at the ground in front of the Aes Sedai's feet.
in a bold voice
There are no Forsaken here, such warped and twisted evil I would sense Elder Ogier
A'mar looks sharply toward the direction of his Aes Sedie; then relaxes a bit.
quietly to his comrades
[b] did you hear that? the situation has changed; it may no longer be necessary to hold this place, a withdrawl might be wise, I shall go check [\b]
A'mar sprints to check the situation of Tesliin and the others.
Amorial nods to the Ogier. "Forsaken, this term interests me, I should wish to bring you before the Elders of the Stedding to discuss this matter. There must be some misunderstanding here Brother". Amorial holds onto the axe before him in case the response is aggression.
Ryland looks at the giants as they approach and turns his head towards Amorial. "I had always been told that yours was a peaceful people. They. Do not. Look. Peaceful."
The Borderlander snuck up behind these odd people she had come in contact with. She was frustrated as one of these fools had toyed with her skill and fled. She Watched in awe at this huge creature..and the rugged troupe the creature was headed to.
She readied her self drawing Gander and giving a silent salute as she waited for the tumlut to start and she can strike these other warriors to get to the man who shamed her skill.
Much better. Let's start again. Why are you here?
Lowering his axe, the ogier gently drops it to the brick paved path. upon impact, a metallic thud is made as the stones underneath the large axe head crack from the weight of the weapon.
There is no misunderstanding, Forsaken. You and your people, millenia ago were charged with protecting the Valdar Cuebiyari Ta'veren, to ensure that the wheel continues to turn. And yet now, when we come back with Valdar Cuebiyari Tai'daishar, we find the twin heart missing. So, for loosing this sacred item, you, and all those upon this land are now Forsaken, and can only be redeemed of honor in death.
as the floor is literally blown out from under them, litheene, fia, tesliin, alathea fall to the ground from Jolair's unexpected attack. As they plunge, grasping at the ledges, arms of airs snap out and lower them to the ground. The freed aes sedai has helped them. But instead of showing gratitude at being freed, the aes sedai demands to know who they are and what they are doing there?
At the front doors, the honor battle is over quickly, both men killed with effortless grace from Ryland and Amorial. As they finish arranging the bodies to have some dignity in the afterlife, the main quarry walks up the path.
A'mar, feeling something through his bond with Tesliin, sprints to the back to help his ward.
Amorial and ryland, left alone, begin to talk with the tall, menacing Ogier. Ryland cannot help but point out the big difference between Amorial and the new Ogiers
"I had always been told that yours was a peaceful people. They. Do not. Look. Peaceful."
Rhoekk steps closer to the building, in order to make himself a more difficult target to those on the roof, and give himself access to the secret door should he need to slip inside. As he does, he draws his bow, readying an arrow. [ooc](5ft step towards the building. If the door opens outwards, he'll stand behind it, so anyone coming out will not immediately see him; if it opens outward, he'll stand on the hinge-side of the door, for the same reason.
He draws his bow and looses a shot to silence the slave taker. ;
EDIT:
Ryland cleans the blood from his sword and sheathes it. "I do not understand. What is this Twin Heart and why did you leave it? Obviousely your kind has changed from the peacful Ogier that I have heard stories of."
Alathea keeps her face lowered and her eyes on the floor, as much to hide her flush of embarrassment and her scowl as to show respect to the unknown Aes Sedai. She does not say a word, nor does she acknowledge that she's heard the woman's demands.
"Me, I am after getting as far away from any sul'dam as possible," Ryvin growls, "unless the opportunity to slice them like pork presents itself."
Tesliin, are you ok; how can I help!
A'mar rushes in with sword and sheild ready.
"That is the exact misunderstanding I speak of. I know nothing of what you speak Friend. I would like to bring your grievances before the Council of Elders to discuss this unsettling accusation. If you are correct than it would seem we have much to atone for and atone we will if we must. Are these terms acceptable?" Amorial finishes knowing the answer already he does not lower his weapon from its readied position.
Fiallain crouches and pushes her way through the undergrowth, using it to disguise her movements. Nearing the edge of the hedge, she peeks out and spies Rhoeek near directly in front of her then glances up at the guards to see if they've marked her.
What is the status of the room with teslin and the building now that there is a big hole?
Holding the One Power near to breaking point, Kodokura swiftly pokes his head around the corner to look through the back gate.
Tesliin, are you ok; how can I help!
A'mar rushes in with sword and sheild ready.
Tesliin gives A'mar a stern look as he comes in. "A'mar, please keep watch while we discuss matters."
"We are here seeking a friend who was taken from us."
What should I say to her? Wise ones do not dance the spears... even apprentices, I should think. She was a maiden, and a pretty one too... NOT NOW! Thoughts on the enemy!
Rhoekk signals back with his arrow hand, 'Protect me from Lightning. Let me dance against spears, and not fire!'
Rhoekk takes a small step up onto the steps, quickly drawing arrows and peppering them into the guard at the back of the yard.
In a peeved toneNow is not the time to mince words with me, sister. As everyone has pointed out, we are in the open, so while i demand you to pause and tell me what your doing here, we are not on a picnic. So all of you, spill everything. Why are you here? what friend are you looking for?
"The Pit of Doom with this," Ryvin mutters rebelliously. The aura of saidar around her flares, and flows of Air, Earth, Fire, Spirit and Water swirl around the group like ribbons. "I'm not sitting here like mutton, waiting for slaughter," she growls if anyone so much as looks at her funny. "Anyone wants to try it on again, I'll make them work for it. And then I'll make them bleed for it."
Elders? Who are these elders that you speak of? IF they are from this side of the sea, then they too have fallen, and will only be brought back to honor with my axe. But, i must wait. One another has claim upon you first The tall ogier steps aside, allowing another to step forward.
I request we continue our fight, until one side is victorious The small Ogier says, bowing formally.
As the ward surrounds the group, the Aes sedai, for the first time, has a look of utter shock upon her face. It is a strange emotion to see from an aes sedai.
Do you have ANY idea what you've done! You just gave that wilder free reign. Pausing, she looks towards where the matron and handler would be standing.
As you stand at the edge of the thick brush, your eyes are drawn towards the matron and her handler. You are shocked to your bones as you realize that the red dome surrounding the pair is gone. You have to look away and bite your lip as now you feel both the matron, and her handler hold the power, the matron glowing from having so much access to the Source.
A flicker at the corner of your eye draws your attention to the red dome, or as you look, you see that the red dome is no longer there. instead you see a very angry pair of women.
