The Blood Knives
Game Master Monkeygod

Natalia turns to Rupert, "A better offer presented itself, both for myself and for the organization. Was sent back home to Whitethrone to improve my ice magic to a deadly degree."

Rupert laughs at the drow. "Us? You may have a knife, but you still have yet to prove yourself, new blood."

Kedrick chuckles at Rupert's comment. Good ole Rupert. We need to go have some fun soon. Maybe crash a wedding party or something? I will let you replace the best man this time. It is my turn to preside...Dearly beloved...We are gathered here today to witness the union between this man and this woman. Kedrick points to Whirrun and Martil. ...if anyone has a reason...yes, do you have something to say sir? What? You two have had relations? The bride and the best man?

Kedrick grandly acts out the part of the cleric from his chair and even uses Silent Image to place a veil and full length wedding dress on Martil.

Rupert...shame on you! You should be kind to our new drow companion. Her infidelity was just revealed to her fiancé.

Ragar throws nhis head back in laughter, as he tries to contain himself.

Kedrick, you kill me!

With quick quip Martil replies to Rupert's comment, "never said 'us', said 'our' but regardless, I do have knife and we all need to prove ourselves to one another." Her hand motions to the table. "Your skill may be what saves our flesh on night, then again it may be my talents."

She then chuckles at Kedrick's wedding comment. "Black is such a nice color for a wedding gown, don't you think Shula?"

The shackleborn reappears, plucking her dagger out of the seat of her chair and sitting on the back. She laughs at Kedrick's theater, and when Martil asks her a question, she bites her lip hard enough to let a little trickle of blood slide down her chin. She looks from Martil to Natalia, and back before she sighs.

"I'm so traditional," she says. "Black is very beautiful, without a doubt, but blood shows so much clearer on a white dress. And what's the point of having a wedding if nobody's going to bleed?"

"As far as proving this and that to one another," she says with a disarming shrug. "Would any of you truly want to put your lives in the hands of someone silly enough to trust you?"

Whirrun cracks a smile and puts his arm around Martil protectively "My own best man betrays me! Oh the heartbreaking agony!" he feigns drawing a dagger "I'll have your head for that traitor!"

Martil laughs with the protective Whirrun.

And ensue Shakespeare scene. In about 10 seconds half the cast is dead lol

Not to nitpick, but the spawn of a kyton would be a half-fiend of some sort.

Or a tiefling variant heritage called kyton-spawn or shackleborn. Nitpick away, my friend.

Yes, I'm aware of the bloodline variants. I presume you don't have Blood of Fiends; the direct offspring of outsiders is always a form of half-outsider, while the aasmiars and tieflings occur farther down the bloodline. In any event, there's no reason to press the point. It wasn't my intention to tell you how to play your character and I never should have picked at the nit in the first place. Carry on.

Rupert jumps to his feet. "A wedding and a funeral! Both yours! And two feasts to the victor!" Rupert grabs what remains of the pheasant off Martil's plate, takes a bite, and brandishes it.

Final selection will be made tonite

Whirrun laughs, then calls to the bartender "I need a weapon my good man, medium rare if you can!"

Bartender or waitress?

I suppose that would be waitress. Lol I just have this image of this slender rogue feinting around with a pheasant while the muscle tries to catch him with like a mutton or something

All because I ordered pheasant.

All because I ordered pheasant.

Or because you slept around. Same difference, really.

The same sexy tiefling waitress comes back, and instead of handing Whirrun a piece of mutton she gives him one of ubiquitous Blood Knives.

She smiles flirtatiously at Shula and says "That's a nice little knife, but I have a better one for ya", she then hands her a Blood Knife as well.

Congratulations, all three of you were chosen! Feel free to chat and relax, we'll pick up perhaps tomorrow evening.

Martil winks at Shula, then at Whirrun, "Congrats."

Whirrun puts on a lopsided smile "Well would ya look at that, seems they were feeling generous today" he reaches for his glass and raises it up "To the knives, and a bloody future with them!"

I'll toast to that. Kedrick lifts his glass. I guess we will all crash the wedding then!

Enough talk of weddings and funerals. The three of you should prepare yourselves. We are sure to be summoned shortly, if our past experiences are any indication. Feel free to party it up until you receive the call, but keep your wits.

Natalia raises her glass to the three "Congratulations to the new blood, and listen to Ragar, your wits will keep that new blood from spilling."

Martil nods her appreciation at the Ragar and Natalia's words of wisdom.

Natalia turns to Martil with a mischievous smile, "Especially for this one!" Natalia grabs her by the back of the neck and plants a kiss upon her lips.

Shula hesitates, thinking for a moment before she takes the offered knife with a shrug and tests its edge across the belly, a thin red line appearing on her belly and a satisfied smile on her lips.

Oh, yes," she says. That'll do nicely."

She whispers in Whirrun's ear, "Congratulations," and turns to Martil. She grins and turns away. "I'll congratulate her later, after we see if there's such a thing as frostbite hickeys."

Sorry I've been inactive. Finals week starts tomorrow. I'll be back after that.

Its cool, I'm waiting for some of the others to reply before moving things forward.

I'm ready when everyone else is.

Same here! Bring it on!

I can no longer keep up with my PBP games due to RL issues. I am sorry, but I am going to need to bow out. Thank you for the opportunity to play. I wish you all well.

Ugh...sorry to see you go Kedrick!
