Id like to apologize for my sudden absence. Lots of things came up that I had to deal with and I was without access to the site or other internet options for most of a couple weeks. At which point this site was at the back of my mind. After things settled down I remembered that I never got the chance to let people know. Due to my rudeness and sudden absence I'll bow out completely and formally if you so wish.
unfortunately I must decline your offer for the time my fair lady. We have business yet to finish here and I am afraid our reason for coming here yet beckons. Fret not however, a grander feast shall I arrange afterwards. That is, if you would be willing to travel with us a few days? After all it would seem by your tragic story that you don't have much to return too. he gives a pained expression at the end as he mentions her loss.
as always my dear, honestly I'm not one to err on the side of caution. Besides, surely such a pretty face wouldn't lie. he chuckles a moment. still, I'm willing to trust her until her actions prove otherwise. Besides, I have utmost faith in our groups ability to handle one hmm, elfkind. He picks up the keys and goes to unshackle the woman if no one stops him, however, as he does so he makes a mental connection to her. Now, remmy, oh, do you mind if I call you remmy? It goes without saying I will trust you, however, I am also obliged to say that I draw upon powers greater than you can imagine, and this group as of now is under my protection. Ahem. That bit of unpleansantry away, do tell me more of the dark lady. What is she, who? Why does she remain here? Just think your response.
Valik rubs Hedgecat's head as you would a pet. He also takes note of her hint. now now, good kitty, finding a way down. No need to threaten someone that is all chained up. I do so love the more..
Valik opens the door with prestidigitation and takes a step in if he can. hmm, but feasts can be quite boring my lady. So many people and so much to do, and so often are they held. Hardly any quality time to get to know someone. and he pointedly looks towards her Hmm. Do you have any inkling to where the keys for your shackles are? Or are you expecting a more, forcrul method?
Noticing the teiflings activities Valik recalls one of the most terrifying female voices he has heard in his life and speaks in Azayzel's mind
Azayzel:
ahahaha! I am the dark lady, reaper of men souls, and I have come to claim thee as my next victim! Ahahahaha! All as he follows the others. He does shout back to the trapped woman however you know, I don't think one in your predicament has any right to be bossy, ungrateful or rude my fine lady.
truly? Are you chained to the side of the wall or behind a door? Who are you, and how did you come to be here. Valik doesn't like this one bit. In a quieter voice hopefully only the people above can hear the problem here is, if this is a trap, or even if she is truly in need, and we go down. Say someone comes and cuts our rope. What then? Also, weren't all the victims in the tale men? he puts emphasis on the last word, recalling that tale told by the tavernkeep referenced only to males.
Valik peers around the room and the whole. (dark vision 120ft through magical and non magical) He casts mending on any parts of the floor he steps through that seem weakened, cracked or damaged.
Valik covers his mouth with a handkerchief
how crude. Still, I suppose it is a deserved death what with how much death they've likely dealt out. Hmm. I'll take that jewellery box, its rather exotic and honestly I don't think it's gonna be useful to him anymore. As he watches the dwarf morph into an animal he speaks up.
He looks around, his eyes landing on thorin. either way, I can perfectly fine even in the blackest of dark, I'll follow behind anyone that deigns to lead the way.
Part of my warlock partron package.
Whatcha mean.
Azayzel:
you hear in your head. more magic hm? Know then Azy, you don't mind being called that do you? Yes good. Azy, Would you be so kind to tell me where you studied? Oh, and due pardon the rudeness, not everyday a teifling offers to join a quest from a temple and the like. Oh, just think what you want me to hear, I'll hear it. Don't worry, I won't pry your thoughts. His grin grows wider as he listens to the tale. well, I'll be, who doesn't love a good mystery. Secrets held from such a place, why, discovering them alone would be worth a trip. Though, in all likelihood, its probably a front to a band of theives or cult of some sort. I'd wager this lady just lures em in. Still it's worth checking out.
(Sorry, been sickly)
likely its to be bandits. Moving across the land. Unruly and thugs the lot of them. At the mention of the abandoned house Valiks eyes perk up and a grin slwoly grows on his face. you don't say. Well, I think I've just found our first stop. Come friend. Tell us what you know of the place.
yes, I've heard great things of this establishment and I must say, you do not disappoint. Hmm if you could I'd like a bottle of each, er well, except the Pulass I'm sure this writ of pay will be accepted? Oh, and a cup for each of my companions my good sir. he points to the members of the group.
Valik walks in and up to the bar, not far behind hedgerow. Hmm. Do you have anything of fine make? A type of wine perhaps?
yes, I also agree that we should make sure we are in fighting condition upon arrival. Lest what befell the first group, befall us. Oh, I'd like a potion if you would dear. Ashi: you here a voice that sounds just like celephix in your mind.
no need to say anything, I can hear anything you think if you wish me to. You said you were sent here by augury and portent. Would you care to tell me just what you meant by that? And what was told to you?
Celephix:
you hear in your mind what sounds perfectly like Thorin. so, tell me, what's yer story lass? No need to be speakin', just think it and I'll be hearin ye. ah yes.. I believe I'd like some stusded leather, fitted, you will be repaid of course.
A man wearing rather posh clothing and a top hat walks in. His voice is not as loud as it is pronounced, and it holds a large measure of nobility and gravity to it. Good evening lords and ladies! I am sure that you will all be happy to hear that I, Vazenic of the house of Amcathra will be joining your expedition. Of my own violation of course. he moves to the teifling, gentle takes her hand and places a small kiss on it as he bows. Surely a race with ones as beautiful as yourself cannot be worthy of the reputation it bears. I forsee great things from you my lady. he gives a small smile before turning to inspect the others present. Ah! noble dragonkin, yours is a powerful heritage, always striving to better yourself and those around you. I will feel much safer on this journey knowing that two of your strength are around. He gives a deep bow to the dragonborn. And stalwart and noble dwarves. Surely our expedition will not falter if lead by thee. and he gives a dwarven salute to them. he then addresses the entire lot. I am looking forward to getting to know you all. I'm sure that my services will ease the burden of this task for all. he then makes his way to stand next to Celephix, giving a small nod as he does so.
just need a name of a noble to be ready.
sorry, finals week and the like.
Here's my druid, back story isn't finished yet but a rough idea is him and his master managed to make a small haven in a forest with his master managing to keep the mist out, however it took all he had and eventually drained away his energy, bringing him to his death much quicker than he would have. Now Arendal travels the land trying to fuffil his masters last wish of healing the world. |
