"Just tell Narkû what you want Narkû to do. Narkû will try to follow the plan as best as Narkû can."
Narkû just listens to the others, as they offer different options on what to do next, every now-and-then glancing down at the battle stage and gauging the distance of the jump. "So Narkû just has to go onto the Battle Stage, and Narkû will get a fight? Seems simple enough way for Narkû to size them up."
"Halleen, who is this Kardswann or Ugruk or Undrella? Narkû has not been introduced in a long time. Not since Narkû fought in the pits." A look of concentrated thought processing comes across the half-orc's face, and this it is just as suddenly gone. "Maybe introduction of Narkû would be a bad idea. Narkû is suppose to be 'infiltrationing'."
Grabbing another mug of ale, he nods at the watered down swill before saying, "Narkû has many friends ... apparently."
"So how much more money you need to win. If Narkû can find you here, then others can also. Then Narkû would have to hurt them if they came here..." Narkû stops talking suddenly, as a grin comes across his face. He reaches for his coin pouch and makes sure it is snitched close. "Maybe we should tell them where you are, and then let them come here?" He says as he retrieves his whetstone.
Narkû cocks his head a bit and squints his eye, not exactly sure what he just heard. "What did you just call Narkû?"
With two mugs of watered down warm ale in this hands, he begins, "Narkû has been looking for you. Narkû was concerned when Narkû couldn't find you for a few months..." He pauses a moment to down one mug before continuing, "so followed some leads that brought Narkû out in the desert in this direction. Meet up with a couple of wanders and Narkû ended up here." He finishes his answer by gulping down the second mug. <Beeeeeeellllllccccccchhhhhh!>
Narkû follows after Julius keeping his mouth closed for the moment. When Haleen turns to Julius, he gives a quick wave of hello and then motions with a finger twirling around Narkû's ear while nodding at Julius.
As he continues to watch the fight play out, "Narkû has spared with her many times in the past. While Narkû does seek his glory, Narkû will not find it defeating her. Narkû did not expect to find her here."
Narkû watches the fight as best he can from his position. As the fight continues, his curiosity gets the best of him as he unconsciously inches forward to keep the fight in view.
Narkû tries to blend into whatever shadow he can find.
"Narkû would go the northern route also. Give them a big surprise to see Narkû come in from that side." he says with a toothy grin.
"Narkû does not think Narkû can hit it from this distance, but Narkû wanted a bow if it comes closer. Narkû can not even see this 'wolf-bird' yet"
"It is too early to be looking at the sky... give Narkû more bacon." "And someone give Narkû a bow."
After his third plate of food, Narkû becomes bored with all the jaw jacking of godly interests and diseases. Wishing to talk more about his glorious killing capabilities, he seeks out some of the other guards and camp followers.
Level 4 Changes:
Ever using his whetstoneon his falchion, Narkû looks over solemnly and says, "Narkû can make it quick."
Narkû throws the longsword and rope over the bow, grabs the two hanging lengths of rope and begins to climb.
"Hmmm... no one is up there now, do I climb or not? With the rope tied off, Narkû flings his blade in a high arc to get the rope up and over the bow of the barge this time. Then stows his falchion so he can begin his climb in a moment.
With a quick yank of the rope, it comes tumbling back down. He then securely ties the length to the hilt of the longsword at this side.
Not seeing a readily available means to get onto the barge, Narkû grabs his rope from his pack and throws the length over the bow, so it hangs on either side.
"Narkû will be up there in a moment, you crazy nutter!"
Narkû lets Sarala and Thurrios continue to occupy the hermit's attention, as he moves closer to the barge. Wanting to show a non-aggressive stance, he leans forward on the hilt of his falchion and braces his legs, forming a sort of makeshift three legged stool. The torch he has been carrying, he places on the ground at his side. A glace over his shoulder to Sarala and a slight nod, is all the indication he gives that he is ready for any type of hostilities.
Narkû holds the torch high for Sarala, so she can spot any hidden dangers, as he follows her forward.
Gathering up his torch and then moving forward, squeezing in with Sarala to look at the new area, "So what do you expect Narkû to find in this old tomb?"
"Snake does taste good, but there is no snake to eat here."
"Are you able to open that Sarala? Do you need Narkû?"
Another animal appears near the altar, but at least this one is attacking the snake, so maybe an ally has joined their fight.
---------------------------------------------
Narkû drops the torch at his feet as he grips his weapon with both hands. It seems his tusks grow as a large smile appears on his face. "Narkû's turn to whack snake," you hear the sound of glee dripping from Narkû's words as he moves forward, raising his falchion high over his head.
---------------------------------------------
"Narkû will search over here for a secret way to continue, while Narkû lets you search other areas in here." Narkû begins to search the alcoves for secret passages and anything that could be worth something.
Narkû looks around the room after hearing Thurrios' words, but still careful not to touch anything... yet. I am not seeing any useful magical items here. How can he say this place is near full of magic? No weapons... no armor... nothing but blue light and black sky, he thinks in utter frustration.
I am still around. When I GM, I limit myself to just a couple of games. I would rather the pace stays at a higher level then to slow up my games because I did not prepare them properly. While I would like to see this game continue, I would understand if you needed to end a couple.
Narkû pays the comment no heed, as the speaker can not pronounce Narkû's name correctly anyway. ---------------------------------------------
"Narkû will leave the lion statues there, they are dusty and old anyway," he says as he leaves the western hallway and moves over to Ruika. "Non-Orcs will like that they can see with your light Ruika. They do have many shortcomings."
---------------------------------------------
Narkû is back also
I am flying tomorrow also, but will have access through the week.
Sensing that the group is finally read to move on, Narkû carefully moves to avoid Thurrios's tracking attempt, and ends up at the entrance to the opposite hallway. Peering torch in hand he peers down the hall beyond the edge of the torch light.
"Narkû sees no dangers for you this way."
I am enjoying all the role-playin', Narkû is just not of the intellectual bent to add to the conversation.
Narkû just sat down at the bottom of the steps, just outside the room, so not to cramp the scholars in their discussion. He just sits where looking at the flame of his torch the entire time with a blank eyed stare. ---------------------------------------------
Narkû heads down the western passage of stairs, falchion at the ready for anything to jump out at him.
"Looks clear down this way... other than the blue creepy light and some nasty looking statues. It looks like some crapped in the models gruel when they made these though." Narkû says back up the stairs. ---------------------------------------------
Hearing Julius's words, Narkû shakes his head in sorrow, never realizing till now that Anapa was humorless. That explains much for Narkû. Poor Anapa. he thinks to himself. With none but himself remaining after Anapa finishes the descent, Narkû gives warning and drops the torch through the hole, then climbs down the rope himself.
---------------------------------------------
Narkû holds the torch over the hole so others can climb down with the benefit of the light. Then will climb down after all have made it down safely.
Narkû looks back at Sarala, "Narkû does not see anything down there, but Sarala should be be able to climb down on the noses and ears of those faces. Or Narkû can go down first."
Narkû steps carefully over to the hole, testing each step before putting his full weight forward. "Careful Sarala, if Narkû was gonna lay a trap, Narkû would put a open trapdoor in the room to sucker, err... entice others in."
---------------------------------------------
Narkû moves onto the next room with his torch held high. ---------------------------------------------
Not seeing any obvious danger in this lit room, and knowing that anything of value is always beyond four falcon-headed statues guardians, Narkû moves on into the next room.
---------------------------------------------
