A World In Chaos

[Ender]

I just thought up a new RP! Here it is! (Set in a fantasy world. Sword-and-sorcery...without the sorcery. You'll understand, just read!)

A World In Chaos

In the world of Nipon, there was once a great Empire. This Empire ruled with benevolence, and the people loved the Emperor. However, this Empire set great strength in its magical power. Magic, while very powerful, and quite beneficial, happens to have a somewhat seductive draw to those weak of heart. One such person, a mage named Telos, fell to this trap. He began to lust for power.

Telos was a very powerful mage, with great talent and potential. As such, his masters spoiled him, thinking him to be a prodigy. Using his influence over them, he began to search for greater power…and immortality. He made great magical strides in research, and was the youngest person to ever attain the rank of Archmage (the most respected rank a mage can achieve, excluding becoming a member of the Council of Sorcery). He neared upon his goal of total immortality, creating a sphere, that could store, he believed, an infinite amount of magical energy, He planned to store a vast amount of magical energy in this sphere, which he then would release upon himself, to increase his power, and, he calculated, grant him never-ending life. Now, everyone knows that some of the greatest scientific discoveries are accidents. In magic, the reverse is also true. Disasters happen because of small things. Telos had a servant, whose name is lost in time, and that servant entered Telos’ room, intending to clean it. While sweeping, he bumped against the Sphere, which came crashing down to the floor. Upon striking the magic-imbued wood, the most catastrophic event in the history of Nipon occurred. The Sphere fulfilled what Telos had believed it was capable of doing; it absorbed all the magic in Nipon. Every structure in the Empire that was built using magic, or held up, or repaired by magic, collapsed, killing everyone inside. Those who had wounds healed by magic, found their skin peeling apart, blood gushing out of those wounds; they had limbs fall off at the point where they were once severed years ago. Millions died in such accidents. Every mage in Nipon perished, their bodies so dependent on the magic, that when it disappeared, their bodies became naught but dust; Telos included. In the chaos magic, the Sphere was hurled into an unknown location. The entire Imperial family of Nipon, being mages themselves, all died, and the Empire collapsed. Law and order disappeared, and pure, total, chaos replaced it. The worst part, however, is what began to happen to the planet itself. It began suffering from odd, devastating weather. Random earthquakes in areas where there are no fault lines occurred without warning. Spontaneous mutations occurred, among human and animal alike. Entire cities disappeared from one place, and reappeared on the other side of the continent. In the past 200 years, this strange things have been occurring more often, with greater severity. One thing is for certain: If the Sphere is not found, and magic restored, the planet will tear itself apart.


200 years after the “Sundering,” various Warlords have taken control of different sectors of Nipon. They each have their own “kingdom,” and search for any advantage over their rivals. Some of these Warlords are kind, and good. Some are not.


You are a descendant of a survivor of the Sundering. You know, in one way or another, the legendary Sphere of Chaos (as it came to be called), is need to restore Order in the world. You decide to set off in search of the legendary object, hoping to acquire it, and use it for whatever reason.


You can be basically anyone you want be, so long as it is a non-magic user. Here is the character sheet. EVERYONE IS HUMAN. HOWEVER, YOU CAN BE A MUTANT. Mutations are somewhat rare, and I will only allow three people to have mutations. First come, first serve. Mutations can give you extra abilites, make you look different, or basically anything else. If your mutations are too extreme, I will make sure you change them.

[Geno]

Name: Karen Jesha

Gender: Female (Yes, Female)

Mutation: None, fully developed human.

Occupation: Servant to a metalworker

Weapons: She stole a Long sword, short dagger, and heavy shield from her work

Armor: Light Plate

Miscellaneous stuff: (This will be my bio) Karen was mistreated as a young girl. She was always picked on, because she worked at a metalworker's house. Sold into slavery at the age of four, she learned anything about her job. She was strong for a woman, and skilled with the weapons she made. Eventually, once she reached the age of fifteen, her master decided that she was very beautiful, and that she should be kept in his room for other things. The first time it happened, she crawled out of his window, slid down, and went back inside. Her master became angered, and grabbed a dagger, and slashed her across the face, leaving a permanant scar, stretching from the top right corner of her forehead to the left eye. After this, she grabbed a long sword, and proceeded to duel her master. After a relentless assult, she found herself in the presense of a dead man. She ran away, hoping not to ever deal with it again. Now she travels alone, draped in rags, but with a Light Plate underneath. She lived with a friend for a year, but soon after that, they perrished in a freak earthquake while she was in the forest, gathering wood for them. The first thing out of her mouth at that point was 'It's time to fix this.' and now she seeks to right what is wrong.

[Ender]

(my mutation doesn't count in the three. There is one more open.)
Name: Lavitz
Gender: Male
Mutation: Increased Physical capabilities (better sense, stronger than normal, faster, but not excessively so. Silver eyes...pure silver)
Occupation: Mercenary
Weapons: None
Armor: Nothing but his travel clothing, which is thick, tough cloth
Miscellaneous stuff: None
Bio: Lavitz is somewhat of an unknown quantity. He is a very successful mercenary, and an even better spy. This is because he carries no weapons, and is a very successful diplomat. Lavitz is a persuasive person, capable of talking his way out of...or into...almost any place or situation. When his words fail, he falls back on his true talent: The martial arts (I'm an avid martial artist, so I can actually portray this role with realism). Trained since the age of 3 by his father, and then later by various masters, he is a master, and one of the best. His identity remains secret to most however, because martial artists are very tight-lipped about their society, and do not give away the identity of their compatriots. He follows a code of behavior that is rarely seen anymore (basically the bushido, the code of a samurai), and has supreme focus and discipline. He serves as a diplomat for a few different warlords, and sometimes fights for them as well. His only distinguishing attribute is his pure silver eyes.

[Ender]

Okay, this post comes as game master. I've looked at few peoples posts and have noticed something.

You guys have quite a few weapons. Very...very...LARGE weapons...for example: Tanain is carrying a sword, a hammer, and a two headed axe. I don't care if you got three arms, that just wouldn't happen. True warhammers were extremely heavy and required the use of two hands to be truly effective, and even then they were so ungainly that they were rare. In addition, a two headed axe was basically a two-handed weapon, because IT can be quite ungainly when used in one hand. With three arms, and one directly under another, and you are trying to use all these at once...well...there is going to be a slight problem: Your arms and weapons are going to hit each other when in use: a lot.

[Holjfie]

Name: Leto Akor
Gender: Male
Mutation: Cannot fully sleep. Aware of things that happens around him while asleep. (Basically like having your eyes closed while awake)
Occupation: Assassin
Weapons: Katana, throwing knives, regular knife
Armor: Just a black robe with leather underneath
Miscellaneous stuff:
Bio: With his mysterious mutation, it's not really surprising he's at peace with himself. Focused on inner seclusion, Leto is a 'deep' person. His thoughts rarely leave himself.

And the third arm thing is just a waste of a mutation.

[Protosschick99]

I'm soo in! I'll post later though :)

[Ender]

Excellent...we are getting quite the group. Mutations are now closed. There can be no more, unless we get a really LARGE RP going.

[ShadowCrusader]

Name: Vaus Zecewns
Gender: Male
Mutation: None, Human
Occupation: Wanderer, Beggar, Other stuff.
Weapons: Staff
Armor: Just a cloak
Miscellaneous stuff: Dumplings. Pretty much it.
Bio: A man who blinded at the age of 14. He had much trouble living in the natural world. He was blinded by a show of falling obisibian rocks. He then learned how to cope by a blind hermit who found him lying by the road. This hermit taught him how to fight with the staff and to "see" people by juding their auras. Being blind has also enhanced all his other senses.

[BlackHawk]

Name: Xuther
Gender: Male
Mutation: None, fully human.
Occupation: Gardener.
Weapons: Samurai Sword named "Ketcu"
Armor: A Kimono on most accounts, with some chain mail under it.
Miscellaneous stuff: Necklace with a crystal angel hanging from it.
Bio: Xuther is a very calm man, and very thoughtful. He takes many things into account before making decisions, big or small, and is a very philosiphical man. He enjoys time in his Zen garden he made on his employers property, where he sits under a tree he planted for his parents who died after a freak earthquake in a forest.

Xuther is a fierce warrior but is very merciful, and will not fight anyone without a weapon if he can help it. He follows the Samurai culture strictly and can be very ignorant this way because he may not accept other peoples beliefs.

[madman5]

[Ender]

madman, good idea. I was waiting for someone to become a warlord. Beware, however. Do not rely on your people too much. There WILL be times when you get separated from them.

[madman5]

Thanx Ender, but I don't need to rely on my ppl. I have a warhammer :)

[tanain_hawkwing]

my hammer is a small noraml hammer.and when using the axe(which is my main weapon cuz my character only uses his three others when he breaks his axe!) he uses all three hands.

[Ender]

ooc: I still think that you have a lot of worthless weight, but whatever. LETS GET THIS THING GOING!

Lavitz trudged along the beaten-down road. He was off to see one of his better employers. Combats between warlords were picking up, and the one he was going to see was quite powerful: one of the most respected military leaders, who had the added bonus of being a political mastermind and amazingly powerful and persuasive leader. If Lavitz had to pick a leader likely to be the man to rebuild the Empire, Lord Hawkins was it. With the increase in military confrontation, it appeared as if a great war was coming, and he planned to take advantage of it.
Of course, one has to be on the winning side!
Lavitz has a lot of core values, such as honor and courtesy and truth and loyalty, but these were becoming strained of late. He was being forced into more and more situations where he either had to break one of his beliefs, or lose his advantage.
And advantage is everything.

[tanain_hawkwing]

Edanon wandered off to somewhere beyond as his customers were vanishing from the area. He found a place near where all the warlords were were at war. The smell of grass was heavy in the air and the trees behind him swayed in the wind with their leaves illuminated by the sun. Edanon set uo his stall and walked off to explore. He walked through the trees examining all the creatures and plants around him. In the background he could hear screams of warriors preparing for battle by attackin dummies 'Lunatics!' he thought. Soon he decided to return to his stall. He walked back the way he came when suddenely from above him a bandit dropped form the trees. All he had with him was his axe so he drew it and attacked back.
The bandit attacked his left but Edanon blocked it with his axe striking back at the bandit's arm. He struck the arm of the bandit and he let out a bloodcurdling scream as blood began to cover the grass. Edanon quickly spun his axe and delivered the killing blow on the bandits head. Edanon returned to his stall with the bandits belongings and put them on the front hoping to sell them. He soon packed up and slept under the stars.

[Geno]

Karen is found walking down the road towards a nearby city, hopefully where she can mooch off of someone (OOC: Yes, this will be a different role for me...), so that she can at least eat and run...

"Man... Where are all the travelers lately? I can't even find one measley person to steal from... Guess I have to forage for myself again this night..."

Karen knows full and well that noone travels by foot anymore, so seeing a passer-by would be a rare occourance... If one did, though, she would be able to get the jump on them, and get at least a little gold from them...

"Hey... What's that up ahead? Oh my gosh! A caravan! Time to do my little act again..."

Karen sits down at the side of the road, and begins to cry... The caravan nears her, and a gentleman speaks to her.

"Young lady, why are you crying? Can I help you?"

"Why yes... I got lost from my parents... I need help getting to that town over there... And I am really weak. Could I possibly have a little food and money to get by, at least until I find my parents?"

She wipes tears from her face. The man takes a look at her, and in reply says...

"Well... Here's a few gold pieces. Don't spend them where you shouldn't. And here's a couple slices of bread... Be careful, and I hope you find your parents... Onward, my friends, we mustn't be late."

"Bless you sir (She wipes the last tears from her face), and I am sorry for any trouble..."

The caravan travels on, and she turns around

"Hah! So easy anymore... Now to go repair this damned dagger... That wolf back there was a bit rough on it..."

[Ender]

Lavitz stood in hall of Lord Hawkins. One of the last REAL nobles, Hawkins was a brilliant military commander and political mastermind, but that wasn't why he was respected. That wasn't why his men followed him, why his men loved him. They loved him and followed him, because he showed them respect, he led them, and he treated them like people. Lavitz's eyes fell on Hawkins narrow longsword.
And they follow him because he is arguably the finest swordsman in the land.
"Lavitz! My most valuable agent! How are you my friend?"
Lavitz, unable to restrain himself in light of his long-time friend's good humor, grinned. "I'm just fine, milord. Anyway, I've been hearing some things..."
Hawkings sighed, and lowered his eyes. "I bet you have." The tall, slender man rose from his throne, and strode to the window, clasping his hands behind his back. "My enemies are trying to undo me. No doubt what you have been hearing is about the other warlord's military buildup, and probes into each other's borders."
Lavitz was disturbed. He has known Hawkins for a very long time, and never once has he seen him like this. "Aye, milord..."
Hawkins glanced over his shoulder at Lavitz. "What you haven't heard, is that there have been raids into my lands...from every direction."
"What?"
Hawkins crossed the ground between them in an instant, dropping his hand on Lavitz's strong shoulder. "I'm losing my advantage, Lavitz. They know that I have a legitimate claim to the throne, being one of the last nobles. If I get enough support, I can take it. They won't let that happen. They are banding together to stop me."
"What can I do? I'll do whatever it takes."
Hawkins looked at his throne. "I need you to find the Sphere."
Lavitz was shocked. "What?"
"It's the only thing that can restore me to power! If I can get it, then nothing will stop me! Nothing will stop us! It is the most powerful artifact in the world! I can restore the planet to the way it was before! I can stop all the conflict, and the bloodshed...I can bring peace back to the world!"
Lavitz stared into Hawkins' eyes, and felt the man's passion. He felt the man's pure, raw spirit and his unsullied sense of honor, duty, and courage. He had but one choice.
"Very well. I will find the Sphere, and bring it back to you."
Hawkins sighed, relieved. "I would almost recommend getting a group to help you, but they might covet it for themselves."
Lavitz waved his thought away. "It won't matter. I won't let anything stop me."

[Valjean]

Narias, a loyal of Lord Hawkins, guarded the inner parts of Hawkins' Fortress. Narias my have been a mercenary, but he was willing to serve Hawkins for almost free. (about 5 gold coins). As Narias putrolled the halls, he heard Hawkins talking with his friend, Lavitz. He heard their conversation, all of it. He was surprised at the other Warlords. Why did they want Hawkins gone from power so badly? Narias decided he'd ask Lavitz if he could be in the search party for the Sphere.

[tanain_hawkwing]

(can i say that im on your road when your searching for the spehere and then thats when i join up with you?)

[Ender]

ooc: You can do whatever you want. You don't even have to join up with a party, or you can start a party of your own.

Lavitz, in the midst of talking with Hawkins, froze, and held his hand up to halt his old friend. Lavitz brought a finger to his lips, then darted around the corner. There was a scuffle, and Lavitz came back into the room, whirling a man around. He pushed this man against the wall, holding him by throat. It was then that Lavitz identified the eavesdropped.
"Narias," Lavitz hissed venomously, "I never figured you for the sliver-tounged spy type! Lord Hawkins, this little rat was paying close attention to our conversation."
Hawkins frowned. "Let him go, Lavitz." Lavitz released him and Narias rubbed his sore throat as Hawkins continued. "Explain yourself, Narias."

[ShadowCrusader]

Vaus Zecewns, thats what people had called him. People had called him many things. Positive and negitave, yet he felt that was all trivial things. So he walked on as children made fun of him and teenager's taunting him except for the occasional adult or mature teenager who stood up for him. A little smile of thanks came from his lips every time he heard them.

But now, he sat in a tavern drinking the heavily watered down ale. He then heard the rustle of the occasional tusle and the break up of it fairly quickly. It may seem strange to some listening to everything and nothing at the same time but for Vaus it was just another day. He had payed more attention of the commotion from a party in which they found a spy. The highlight of his meaningful day maybe. "What would that serpent say in order of that mess", he wondered. So many characters in the world.

[Valjean]

ooc: You can do whatever you want. You don't even have to join up with a party, or you can start a party of your own.

Lavitz, in the midst of talking with Hawkins, froze, and held his hand up to halt his old friend. Lavitz brought a finger to his lips, then darted around the corner. There was a scuffle, and Lavitz came back into the room, whirling a man around. He pushed this man against the wall, holding him by throat. It was then that Lavitz identified the eavesdropped.
"Narias," Lavitz hissed venomously, "I never figured you for the sliver-tounged spy type! Lord Hawkins, this little rat was paying close attention to our conversation."
Hawkins frowned. "Let him go, Lavitz." Lavitz released him and Narias rubbed his sore throat as Hawkins continued. "Explain yourself, Narias."
"I am sorry, Lavitz. I was just patroling the halls when I overheard your conversation. I am sorry for eavesdropping. And I was thinking, now that I've heard this, I could aid you on your quest." said Narias, nervously.

[Ender]

Lavitz studied Narias closely as Hawkins spoke. "You know," said the Warlord, "that's a pretty good idea. You could use help, and if he IS a spy-unlikely, but possible-you can keep an eye on him! Brilliant! Lavitz, take him!"
Lavitz frowned. "Narias, you will be under my command. You have to follow my orders."
Hawkins pointed at Narias. "You must pledge your loyalty and servitude to him. Not only that, but since you previously pledged to me, if you do not, you will be considered a traitors-on two counts- and will be treated accordingly."

[Valjean]

Narias didn't know why they suspected him so much. He was known to be one of the most loyal people to Hawkins.

"I swear my alliegence to you, Lavitz. I agree to the terms set." said Narias.

[Ender]

The next day, Lavitz rode on a new horse signed out to him by Lord Hawkins. Next to him rode Narias. Lavitz had grown up and been trained in the business of spies and intrigue, of political upheaval, war, and shifting alliances. He had relied on his gut instinct for many years. Right now, his gut instinct told him that this quest they were embarking on would be the pivotal point in the history of the world. It occured to Lavitz, and his shifting outlook on life, and on himself, that this could be a golden opportunity for him, to take advantage of his unique skills. He slowly grinned. Yes, he knew what he was going to do when he found the Sphere of Chaos. And nothing would stop him.

[Valjean]

Narias was very glad the others chose him to be in the party.

"So, what are we goingto do when we find the Sphere?" said Narias.

[BlackHawk]

Xuther sat motionless on his mat woven of fine threads in the garden he had made for his master. His eyes were the only thing moving, the only thing sensing, and the only thing to notice the leaf trickle down from the tree.

So it is fall, once again we come to the time of beautiful colours, in a time of terrible pain. But what can one do in a world of the corrupt and sinister, where the good are to be lowlifes as the evil rule unchallenged.

Lord Hawkins grows weak thought Xuther, as he thought of the shifting alliances, moving in favour of a world in chaos. They wish to rid themselves of Lord Hawkins for he can rule this kingdom. Why would they want that? He is an admirable general, and would make an even greater King. I can never fathom the way politicians minds work.

The stomping of horses awoke Xuther from his thoughts. "Speak of the devil" muttered Xuther as he saw Lavitz, one of Lord Hawkins spies and friends, ride along a dirt path that passed by his garden. I wonder who the other man is thought Xuther as he noticed the man next to Lavitz.

Xuther stood up slowly, his hand sliding across his Samurai sword as he stood up. He walked over to the side of the path and waited for Lavitz to come along. Lavitz slowed down to a trot as he saw Xuther.

"How are you Lavitz-san" asked Xuther politely, adding 'san' to the end of Lavitz' name which basically meant "sir" in Japanese. He bowed to Lavitz, as he would have if he were in Japan. He had grown up with his culture, and it had been quite hard to live among these 'barbarians' as his mother called them.

[Ender]

Lavitz, recognizing the Samurai who pledged his allegiance to Lord Hawkins, grinned and jumped off his horse. In respect for the warrior, and in respect for his culture, he initiated the formal bow, heels together, balls of the feet spread apart, arms at the sides, bend at the waist. Then he resumed his normal stance.
"Xuther my friend! I'm doing very well thank you!" Lavitz thought for a moment, then posed the question. "Xuther, I'm sure you have heard about the going-ons in the world recently. I know you Lord Hawkins' most loyal supporter-excluding myself, of course-and I believe you could be of great help to him now. Narias and I," gesturing to the warrior who watched the two of them converse, "are off on a quest to give Lord Hawkins the heavy advantage in the upcoming conflict. I was thinking...perhaps you would like to join us?"

[tanain_hawkwing]

Edanon wandered over to a road and set up his stall.

[Geno]

Karen continues along the road... Talking to herself... Um... And stuff...

(OOC: Someone interact. She's bored out of her mind ;)

~Larry "Geno" Meyers

P.S. This is your guys' call. Not mine. Usually, I try and interact, but I'm doing this different, for a change of pace, hope you understand. Broadening my ranges :p)

[Ender]

ooc: I would, but I got to wait for Blackhawk to post!

[BlackHawk]

(OOC: Sorry :shiftyr: ).

Lavitz, recognizing the Samurai who pledged his allegiance to Lord Hawkins, grinned and jumped off his horse. In respect for the warrior, and in respect for his culture, he initiated the formal bow, heels together, balls of the feet spread apart, arms at the sides, bend at the waist. Then he resumed his normal stance.
"Xuther my friend! I'm doing very well thank you!" Lavitz thought for a moment, then posed the question. "Xuther, I'm sure you have heard about the going-ons in the world recently.

Narias and I," gesturing to the warrior who watched the two of them converse, "are off on a quest to give Lord Hawkins the heavy advantage in the upcoming conflict. I was thinking...perhaps you would like to join us?"

So they go on to search for the orb in hopes it will help Lord Hawkins. A good cause...if Lord Hawkins handles the power and uses it wisely. I have been wanting to get out of here for a while, and now my master would have to permit me to go, thought Xuther.

"Of course Lavitz-san, it would be an honour to help Lord Hawkns. First though, are you blindly wandering off in hopes of a miracle, or do you really know where the orb is?" asked Xuther, glancing up at Lavitz, who gave him a suprised look when he mentioned the orb.

They think I know not of the secrets of this world. It was only too obvious they are seeking the orb, the question is, is it obvious to their enemies? Xuther asked himself.

[Ender]

ooc: Its k BH. Didn't mean to sound evil. Had a BAD day lol

This comment made Lavitz wince. "Actually, we DO have a plan." Lavitz pulled a ragged scrap of scroll from his robes. "Hawkins has had his historians going through tomes and ancient lore for a long time and they found this. It tells the tale of the Sphere that most people know, except for one extra tidbit." Lavitz grinned. "This tome tells the location of the ancient location of where the Sundering actually took place! We are going to head there. Glad to have you along."

[madman5]

(OOC: Im here ppl)

A bird perched on a stick and took in his surroundings. A man was standing there with a large hammer in his hand. It was a cold night, but the man stood there without moving. He made a shrill call and a wolf came running to him.

"What did you learn?"

The wolf growled a few times and then yelled loudly.

"Excellent. We will move at dawn in 2 days."

The man mounted the wolf and rode towards a clearing.

Who is this man and why does he have a wolf friend

The bird never knew because it was attacked(what eats birds?) by a [insert bird predator here] The man heard this and instantly leaped of his wolf and ran through the woods bringing his hammer through the [same animal here].

"A nice little piece of meat for hunting. Common Erad lets go."

The wolf nibbled on the meat as the man went back to the clearing.

[ShadowCrusader]

Vaus was now travelling down a well known road. He as a wanderer had taken this road many times before. But not under these circumstances. A fight had broken out for no irrational reason in the bar so he had to ponder upon such. Usually fights start due to one's inability to react properly to the situation. But this one was different, someone was caught spying, and how fun it would of been to actually SEE it. But one does not cry over spilled milk.

He heavily pondered in thought and thus dulled his senses. Before he could counter-react he had walk into a person. He expressed his most sincere apologies. "I am sorry, I forgot about this road being well travelled. Please accept my apologies, I am very sorry for your inconvenience."

OOC: I didn't exactly express his physical features. He is a lean guy who always keep's his eye's shut. He usually wears a bandana-ish thing over his eyes, but not know. When he opens his eyes, it is almost clear white. He is in his mid-20's. Black hair. Plus a medium tan. so he is lightly bronze.

[Whiteknight]

Can I still join? If so, i'll post stats tomorrow.

BIO:

Okay I'm cutting past all introductions and I'm just gonna go straight to it since I'm short on time)

Amber glided low amongst the trees atop her friend and companion--Stormbringer the Gryphon. As she neared a clearing in the trees, she sees a young woman lazily walking on a path talking to herself.

[i]"Let's land down there Stormbringer!" Shouts Amber.

Stormbringer obeys and lands right in front of the woman. Amber smiles, glad to show off her gryphon and says, "Are you okay? You lost or something? Cuz when someone is talking to themselves it's usually said that they are not in their right mind." Says Amber in a smart aleck and joking tone.

Name: Ane
Gender: Female
Mutation: n/a
Occupation: Was a Warden, right now a slave.
Weapons: Chains, throwing mauls. (right now: none)
Armor: Light breastplate. (right now: none)
Misc: none
Bio:
Ane was born in a bandit family, and was raised under strict rule of the bandit lord.
She was trained to capture and keep other humans, and was pretty good in it.

One night, though, she was ambushed by a rival bandit group when she was patrolling for possible intruders. They wanted to punish her because Ane had captured some members of that group, and decided to enslave her.

Ane's training had worked well, and she resisted greatly under the enslaver's torturement, but her spirit broke after countless hours of torture.
From that, she obeyed them, without any questions.

She was about 20 years old when the slavers sold her to a wanderer.

(ooc: Now it starts. Ane is still the slave of this wanderer

Feel free to meet this wanderer, he counts as a NPC, so kill him or whatever.)

[Whiteknight]

Let the two newbies to this story start out together (Seal/Hylfe or w/e)! Working on story and on character now.

[Whiteknight]

Name: Dimitri
Gender: Male
Age: 31
Mutation: n/a
Occupation: Was a paladin to a warlord, now just wanders around, looking for rightous things to do.
Weapons: Silver-plated sword
Armor: Paladin Armour (Breatplate, helmet, legs), shield.
Misc: Armoured Horse (Although a pegasus would be nice if I'm allowed)
Bio: Dimitri, as a small boy, aspired to be a paladin and defend people from any enemies there may be. At the age of 12, Dimitri still showed no sign of mage-like abilities. He began to give up hope of ever learning magic, although he still aspired to protect people.

At age 14, Dimitri's father was unable to provide for Dimitri any longer, and he was sent off to a training camp for knights. For 8 years he fought and trained there, and showed considerable promise to be a great knight. A powerful warlord took an interest of his skill and was sent off to a training ground for established knights.

There, he trained for 4 years, and rarely lost a fight, beating even his own master in a mock-battle. Because of his skill, he was assigned the task of protecting a semi-important mage. They became close friends over the years. After 3 years, Dimitri let slip that he had aspired to be a Paladin.

Dimitri's friend, wishing to grant the childhood wish, took it up with the warlord. He agreed that he would be granted paladin status, although he had no magical abilities and was and would always technically be a knight.

He was immediately taken away from his friend and was assigned to protect the warlord. Before he went, however, his former master gave him a silver-plated blade, that had been forged by an expert blacksmith.

Within a year of being reassigned, the unthinkable happened. The warlord vanished and Dimitri took to wandering around, helping anyone he could.

Story:

Dust rose in it's wake as the horse walked along the trail. The sun was low and Dimitri was tired from helping a poor beggar retrieve her money. He considered finding a place to set up camp for the night, but something compelled him on.

In the distance Dimitri spotted two silhouettes walking at a slow, but steady pace. Somewhat bored, he urged his steed onward to catch up with them.

"Greetings!" Dimitri hailed them as he approached. He now recognized one as a mid-aged man and the other as a young woman. The man turned his head; the woman continued to look at the ground with care.

"Greetings, friend," the man responded, his face guarded from emotion, "I am surprised to find another on this lonely stretch. Where might you be from?"

"I... I have come from far away. May I ask why you would be walking here alone, particularily with this," Dimitri stole a glance at the woman, "young woman?"

(OOC: Sorry, I thought that the imperial family was destroyed when the ball fell, unless that was a long time ago too, and I'll have to change my story again.)

[BlackHawk]

(OOC: Are we on the same road as PC and gang, and teh blind man (Shadow)?)

ooc: Its k BH. Didn't mean to sound evil. Had a BAD day lol

This comment made Lavitz wince. "Actually, we DO have a plan." Lavitz pulled a ragged scrap of scroll from his robes. "Hawkins has had his historians going through tomes and ancient lore for a long time and they found this. It tells the tale of the Sphere that most people know, except for one extra tidbit." Lavitz grinned. "This tome tells the location of the ancient location of where the Sundering actually took place! We are going to head there. Glad to have you along."

The Sundering, perfect. We'll see if the legends are true then.

"I am glad to get out of this place, my body has ached some time for an adventure. You have honoured me with just the chance to go on it Lavitz-san. To actually go on it and server Lord Hawkins-sama is an honour I do not deserve!" exclaimed Xuther, truly happy to have such an offer, and to be able to go on such and adventure.

The sphere. Something so fragile, and yet a whole world searches for it. All the power in such a small object, the power to change and shape the world, who knew something could ever posess that power, nevertheless a sphere!

"I will be back in one moment, I must tell my Master, Meadid-sama about this honour, he will be quite pleased that his slave will be serving Lord Hawkins-sama. I must also fetch my gear and horse," said Xuther who saw Lavitz' impatiance as he mentioned his gear. "Do not worry, my gear is already packed, there is no means to touch it regularily."

Xuther disappeared into the house through a door on the back porch. After some moments of waiting, Xuther appeared coming around the house on his horse, a black stalion, along with his master Meadid.

"Thank you Lavitz for this opportunity, Xuther has been quite bored as of late. May he serve you as well as he has served me" said Meadid. Meadid turned and hugged Xuther, they had become almost equals in the last few years of Xuther's service, so close that Xuther had come to guard Meadid's deepest secrets.

Xuther pulled away after some time, and said to Meadid "I hope to make you proud, Meadid-sama." Xuther bowed very low, before jumping back onto his horse and following Lavitz and Narias down the dirt road.

(OOC: Okay, that's it. That a good start?)
You said Imperial Family. There has been no Imperial Family for a LONG time. I suggest you change it to a warlord or something.

[tanain_hawkwing]

(Im wont post that often until you guys meet my character k? Hes so lonely)

[Whiteknight]

(OOC: Thanks Ender. Sorry, I thought that the imperial family was destroyed when the ball fell just recently. Sorry, I misunderstood.)

"A slave? What might she have done to deserve that status?" Dimitri's hand twitched, as if attracted to the sword on the side of his horse. He had never condoned slavery. He had once become a secret friend of a slave. If anyone had found out, his status would have been ripped from him. Dimitri had witnessed the marks of beating on his friend, and he had eventually died from cruel punishment.

[BlackHawk]

The Sundering, perfect. We'll see if the legends are true then.

Xuther pulled away after some time, and said to Meadid "I hope to make you proud, Meadid-sama." Xuther bowed very low, before jumping back onto his horse and following Lavitz and Narias down the dirt road.

The horses trotted along lazily as the riders rode in silence. Left to their own devices and thoughts. Xuther was full of happiness, he felt as if all evil couldn't even drain his happiness from him.

Now I will be able to spread my wings, I can finally soar off into this giant world, open to my explorations now. And to think I also get the honour of serving Lord Hawkins! I shall prove myself as my ancestors, and great ancestors have on many occasions. I shall prove that I am the warrior I was brought up to be -- a Samurai.

I will show these barbarians how true men fight. And I will definitely show the enemies of Lord Hawkins how a Samurai fights, how a sword is wielded, and how vengeance can be so painful. May those enemies be reborn as something peaceful so they may not bring their evil to these lands once more, and so that they may see the error in their ways. A dove perhaps.

He had once become a secret friend of a slave. If anyone had found out, his status would have been ripped from him. Dimitri had witnessed the marks of beating on his friend, and he had eventually died from cruel punishment.
(ooc: talking as the wanderer.)

"That I do not know. I was looking for a slave when I found her, and bought her."

"She has some marks of torturement, so my guess is that she hasn't born a slave."

Ane wears only some rags, along with a kind of collar which tells her name and owner. Right now she is making food.

[Whiteknight]

"Sir, what may you take for this..." Dimitri glanced at her again, "..slave here?" Dimitri spat out the word slave. The man seemed taken aback.

(OOC: Okay, after you post, I'll make sure we catch up with the group. Does the owner run away at sword-point?)

[Seal]

(Start ooc:

The wanderer isn't prepared to fight, so if you start a fight, he'll run to the shadows.
Alternately you can ask to buy her, whatever you like.

If you've thought of different approach, feel free to use it, the wanderer will be a NPC from now.

end ooc)

[Whiteknight]

"Well, she has been good to me so far, I do not know if I would like to give her up. I am sorry, but she is not for sale."

"Are you sure about that, sir?"

"Absolutely. Now do you have any other business with me, or are we done yet?" The wanderer started to turn away.

"In fact I do," Dimitri stated, pulling his sword out of his sheath. The wanderer felt cold, hard metal on his neck.

"Uh..erm.... In second thought, she is for sale. How about I'll ta....." The metal pressed deeper.

"How about this for a deal, good sir? You drop the chains, run, and I won't come after you. Do you accept?" Dimitri would never attack an innocent man, so he had to hope that the wanderer would run. It turned out that Dimitri was in luck.

Dimitri shielded his eyes a he watched the wandere kick up dust, trying to get away from the 'murderous paladin' as fast as he could. The paladin turned his eyes to the slave.

"Who might you be? You do not seem to have been born a slave."

[Seal]

(start ooc:

I hopefully will be using Ane from now on.

end ooc)

"You.. want me to talk?
No one has asked anything from me for years.. who are you?"

(ooc: Dimitri now lets Ane know who he is, or does he?)

[Whiteknight]

Dimitri scratched his head. He knew he should have known she wouldn't be partial to talking. He decided to tell her some things about himself first.

"Hm... Okay. I am Dimitri, a paladin guard of a former warlord. Now I roam around, trying to help as many people as I can. That's why I helped you. I have rescued you from that man. I could not bear to see a person like you bear the weight of slavery. You are free to go.

However, I would feel privlaged if you would join me in my quest of justice. You look like you have seen the face of battle before, and you may be able to help me.

I would prefer to know some things about my companion, though. Would you tell me how you ended up a slave, or at least your name?"

[madman5]

(OOC: Im here ppl)

A bird perched on a stick and took in his surroundings. A man was standing there with a large hammer in his hand. It was a cold night, but the man stood there without moving. He made a shrill call and a wolf came running to him.

"What did you learn?"

The wolf growled a few times and then yelled loudly.

"Excellent. We will move at dawn in 2 days."

The man mounted the wolf and rode towards a clearing.

Who is this man and why does he have a wolf friend

The bird never knew because it was attacked(what eats birds?) by a [insert bird predator here] The man heard this and instantly leaped of his wolf and ran through the woods bringing his hammer through the [same animal here].

"A nice little piece of meat for hunting. Common Erad lets go."

The wolf nibbled on the meat as the man went back to the clearing.

She starts laughing at her own joke. Karen looks at her with a raised eyebrow.

Karen: Ha, very funny. Really though--Where are you going?

Amber leans back in the makeshift saddle.

"I'm just strolling along........Looking to pass the time. How about you? You off to find wealth and riches or something ghetto like that??" :p

(ooc: hehe. Wonder if they have the word ghetto. ;))

Narias rode along with Xuther and Lavitz. He felt so calm...yet he senced something strong and forboding about this quest...something...

Suddenly, a crack was heard from a near-by group of trees and bushes. A medium size figure crawled out. It was hunched over and seemed to be growling or panting. It wasn't a werewolf though, it would either be on all fours or be much larger...or both.

Narias pulled out his sword. The others didn't seem to notice the creature that had lurked out. Narias then yelled to them, "Guys! Over here!" and pointed his sword in the direction of the creature. Suddenly, it charged Narias. As it got out of the cover of the shadows, it reavled itself. A troll!

Then, about 9 more trolls came running out. They all carried crude, misshappen weapons.

Narias quickly knocked the first troll's weapons out of his hands, but he didn't care. He countinued to charge Narias. He smashed into Narias very fast and hard, hitting him between the chest and the stomach. Narias fell onto his knees. As the troll tried to attack again, Narias threw his sword, hitting the troll in the same area the troll had hit Narias. The troll fell over in a matter of minutes, dead. The remaining trolls rushed at Narias.

The remaining trolls rushed at Narias.

Xuther jumped out of his saddle, landing on the back of one of the trolls attacking Narias. The Troll hit the ground hard, and tried to roll over to meet his attacker. But a hot piercing pain in his back told him otherwise.

Xuther withdrew his bloody sword from the back of the troll and spun around to meet the next. Xuther gasped as the trolls blunt weapon caught him in the stomach, winding him. Just as the troll was about to deal a fatal blow, it froze.

The trolls hand let go of the weapon, and it fell to the ground with a thud. His hands went to his stomach, and the protruding sword point. Lavitz gave Xuther a wink before pulling his sword from the troll and kicking the scum to the ground. Lavitz turned and hurled himself into the other trolls.

Xuther got up after recovering from the blow, and ran to Lavitz' side. "I've never seen trolls around here before Lavitz-san" said Xuther, as his sword found a home within a trolls stomach.

"Neither have I, but with this world current state, I'm not suprised by anything anymore."

(OOC: lolz! This calls for a reaction :p :D)

Amber looks over at Karen shocked. Did she just call her a hoe?

"Uh--No. I am no hoe sweetie. I'm an independant woman thank you very much! I need no man! Call me that again and I'll slice your boobs off and feed 'em to my gryphon!"

(OOC: lolz! I still luv ya Geno, dun trip :))

(OOC: I have to use it once... LOLZ!)

"No, I meant look, there. Ho wasn't meant to be rude, but hun, from where I come, it would be more of a compliment. It usually means you are beautiful, and guys like you."

Amber glares over...

"Ok, so forget it..."

(OOC: And actually, read Macbeth. Oh! Romeo and Juliet have a part where they say something like 'What, ho?' and it really means 'What, where?' or something like that... Oh well, just some old English for you ;)

(OOC: lolz, I know about old english--I read Romeo & Juliet, Julius Caesar, and Macbeth in highschool, I was just fool'n with ya :p lolz. I had to do this long drawn out study and even act out some parts!)

Amber takes a deep breath sarcastically.

"Whatever--Let's just go check out that stall with that dude."

Amber looks over at the extremely unattractive man who is waving at them. She shudders.

"Ugh.......That fool is soo not cute." Amber grins and looks over at Karen. "I think he's checking you out Karen!" :p

[tanain_hawkwing]

OOC: I guess youre talkin about me PC!

Edanon looked down the road and saw two travellers. He had not had any customers for ages so he waved at them to get their attention. He saw the lady look at him and shudder
"Pah!" he thought "Yet another person to think im a freak of nature. O well. She isnt that pretty herself!"

Karen sees the man up ahead, and laughs at what her companion has said. Then she realizes the man is looking at her. *Shifty eyes* Oh my gosh, he's ugly, and looking at her... This just doesn't look good for her... She pushes Amber, and she slips, almost falling. The man takes his eyes off of Karen, and begins to gaze at Amber... She feels much better now...

"I hate people that stare..." (Whispered to Amber)

"What... You little..." (Whispered to Karen)

"Hello there... Um... Sir...

Dimitri and his newfound friend travelled along the road for quite some time before spotting a stall in the distance. He urged his horse on and was surprised to see a group of 3 standing around.

"Hail, good wenches and good sir!" Dimitri called out.

P.S. Heh... I know it was a joke, but I just wanted to make a big deal out of it ;))

OOC: COME ON PEOPLE! DON'T LET THIS DIE!!!!!!!

(OOC: We're on the same road, just down it a bit. I'd say just on the border of a small village, beside a forest?).



Xuther jumped out of his saddle, landing on the back of one of the trolls attacking Narias. The Troll hit the ground hard, and tried to roll over to meet his attacker. But a hot piercing pain in his back told him otherwise.

Xuther withdrew his bloody sword from the back of the troll and spun around to meet the next. Xuther gasped as the trolls blunt weapon caught him in the stomach, winding him. Just as the troll was about to deal a fatal blow, it froze.

The trolls hand let go of the weapon, and it fell to the ground with a thud. His hands went to his stomach, and the protruding sword point. Lavitz gave Xuther a wink before pulling his sword from the troll and kicking the scum to the ground. Lavitz turned and hurled himself into the other trolls.

Xuther got up after recovering from the blow, and ran to Lavitz' side. "I've never seen trolls around here before Lavitz-san" said Xuther, as his sword found a home within a trolls stomach.

"Neither have I, but with this world current state, I'm not suprised by anything anymore."
Lavitz turned from the stoic Samurai to face the last troll. The troll lunged with his spear, but Lavitz sidestepped and palmed the weapong off to his side. He shifted in and brought the blocking hand up and a strike to the throat. The troll began to reel away, and his hands rose to his throat, but Lavitz grabbed the creature around the neck, pulled him close and twisted his body around, hurling the troll around his leg and dropping him to the ground. Lavitz then dropped quickly, bringing his knee to the troll's stomach, and sending the beast's head up as he curled in t protect his stomach.
Curled in until Lavitz's fist followed his knee down and smashed into the trolls long nose. The was a sickening crunching off bone and black blood spurted from the troll's nose. Lavitz fist kept forcing in, until his knuckles were flush with the troll's cheeks. The gnoll lay limp of the ground, and his eyes began to glaze.
Nose into brain always works.
Lavitz stood and faced the other two.
"We don't have time to find out why the trolls are here. We have to carry on. Let's go," commanded Lavitz, vaulting onto his horse.

[Geno]

OOC: COME ON PEOPLE! DON'T LET THIS DIE!!!!!!!

[ShadowCrusader]

(Yay... Off groundation.. Woot!) (intresting.. I thought trolls were supposed to regenerate from anything except fire and acid.)

Tirion sat amused on his horse watching comical scene after comical scene. When the trolls arrived, he seemed all the merrier, but he was just to lazy to get off his horse, so he let the others combat the trolls. He now rode up to Xuther and commended him on his fight, doing the same to Lavitz. Now was not a time for pride and showmanship. A contract was made and it had to be carried out.

"Yes Lavitz-san" said Xuther before following Lavitz' lead and jumping onto his horse. The horse raised it's front hoofs into the air as Xuther pulled it's reins back, preparing to march off and leave behind his town of 20 years. The town of pain, sorrow, death and hatred. Yet also the town of love, happyness, and life.

How can I love a village so much, yet hate it with a passion? Ahh, my dear Master, maybe it's you? It does not matter, we all only have one true liege lord in our time, and forever you will be mine, whether I will be proud of it or not. But I will make you proud of me when this is over.

[madman5]

(OCC: I hate it when im ignored......)

The man stood alone in the shadows looking at a few mounted men killing some trolls. Or at least it would seem that he was alone. Several guards silently waited in the trees above the man. No one would think that this man was a warlord, let alone a terrible mercinary.

"Stay in the trees as close to me as possible. If i'm attacked kill every1."

"Yes sir Arcbourn."

Arcbourn approached the men with his wolf at his side. The wolf stayed as close to Arcbourn as possible to avoid being killed.

"It's not everyday that I see any1 in this forest. Where are you from and who are? Why are you here?"

[Whiteknight]

(OOC: Hm, me and Seal are basically stuck alone here, no one is responding. Any chance we can catch up to you guys, BH?)

[Ender]

ooc: Please do WhiteKnight. I don't really care how, as long as this RP gets moving again.

(OOC: Hm, okay. I'll do it today after I finish writing up my post for Seal's RP, or tomorrow.)

Arcbourn approached the men with his wolf at his side. The wolf stayed as close to Arcbourn as possible to avoid being killed.

"It's not everyday that I see any1 in this forest. Where are you from and who are? Why are you here?"

Just as Xuther and the others jumped onto their horses a peculiar man came out of the shadows of the forest. "It's not everyday that I see anyone in this forest. Where are you from and who are you? Why are you here?"

Xuther took a quick glance into the forest and noticed some odd shadows among those of the trees. Having been taught of nature all his life he had picked up a few things, and knew how trees moved -- they didn't. Then he looked back and the man who seemed extremely comfortable, yes he's obviously got troops in the forest. Does he wish to ambush us? Is he an enemy of Lord Hawkins?

"We are just mere travellers passing through. We mean no harm to you or your men" said Xuther as he nodded towards the men in the trees. The man didn't look to happy know that his men's cover was blown, but he withheld his frustration well. "If you will allow us to pass we would be most gratefull" continued Xuther.

[madman5]

Arcbourn motioned at his men to hold there attack.

Damn I hate people who can see well

Arcbourn looked a the symbol the man who spoke had on his chest. The symbol of the great Lord Hawkins. Sar'gal had spoken highly of him.

"I do not wish to harm one who comes from Lord Hawkins land. My former Lord, Sar'gal, would discrase my crops. Now that all is made secure, tell me who you are and why you are here."

[Ender]

Lavitz peered at the man, then leaned back in his saddle.
"You're Arcbourn, the warlord." The man nodded slightly. "You say you don't mean harm to Hawkins, but I've never seen any warlords entering another's lands without permission, and I know Hawkins didn't grant you permission. Explain yourself. Now."

[BlackHawk]

Damn I hate people who can see well

(OOC: Rofl.)

And so the tables turn, so it might be this Lord was trying to ambush us. If it's true that no warlord wanders into anothers territory without permission. Though he could be seeking refuge. Then who are we to turn down one of such a need, especially when we could provide them said refuge and get something from them for it...

But Xuther stayed silent and shifted in his saddle. The men in the trees weren't any less of a threat know and they could easily overwealm them if need be. Xuther's hand went to his sword subconciously, and he was sure to sell the motion off as an innocent hand gesture so this Arcbourn didn't get worried. Desperate men do desperate things afterall though Xuther.

[madman5]

Arcbourn spent a few seconds trying to figure out what to do.

"I have no thought to bring harm to any1. My people do not have a set position in this world. I am currently scouting out the path to our next settlement. You are currently in the middle of my progress, so I have to press you for information. Please tell me why Hawkins would send a small group of warriors towards my people. I have already talked with Hawkins about my people's mission. If he wanted the Sphere for himself, he should have come to me formally."

The mounted men held back shock as Arcbourn mentioned the Sphere.

"If you need supplies or guidance, then you should come to my village. We are preparing a feast celibrating the move, if you would like to join me."

[Ender]

Lavitz glanced at Xuther and Narias, then looked back at the warlord. "We may be in your path, but you are in our territory. We will join you if you disclose troop numbers, location, and composition, right now."

[madman5]

Arcbourn thought a minute.

"Lets see...about 100 active troops bearing spears and bows. The location can not be revieled to you, for this would endanger my people. In the morning we will be leaving, and then you may see were you are. We won't be going back to that spot unless we forget supplies."

[Ender]

Lavitz sat in his saddle and thought. He turned to Narias and Xuther and held a whispered conversation with the two of them, with Arcbourn and his men couldn't hear.
"Well boys, what do you think?"

[BlackHawk]

"Well" whispered Xuther, "it seems like a good choice. He obviously knows something of the sphere, and he could perhaps help us with some information. Whether volunteered or not. And we could camp their, we need a camp for the night either way. So I'd say we can trust him for now, if he did wish to ambush us he would have already."

[madman5]

(OCC: Lalalalala...........HURRY UP SO WE CAN CONTINUE THIS STORY.......)


BUMPAGE

[Ender]

Lavitz turned back to Arcbourn. "Very well, Warlord, we will join you." The warlord grinned and started to speak, but Lavitz held up a hand. "On one condition: We have a plan of action. I'm in charge of the Quest, and the Sphere goes to Hawkins. If you help us with this, you will be well rewarded by Hawkins. I mean lands, hereditary titles, money, women, and power. All after he becomes Emperor of course."

[Geno]

(OOC: It's too far dead for me... Sorry, but the person that I was interacting with, and the comrade for me both left. I shall disappear as well now... Sorry, but with 4 or so pages of nothing for me, I'm done.

P.S. Besides, I needed to free a slot... Now WK and I can release our newest RP for all... ;))

[Whiteknight]

(OOC: Yeah, sounds good. Email me anything new, and I'll work on it over the weekend.

Now on with the story)

Dimitri bid farewell to the travellers he had met and continued on. He conversed with his companion, but she soon fell quiet and he kept to himself. They walked in silence for a while, and soon spotted shadows in the distance.

The paladin urged his horse forward to catch up to them. Dimitri spotted several people gathered around together.

"Hail, good sirs!" Dimitri scanned the area and spotted the blood and the bodies. "What might have happened here?"

[madman5]

Lavitz turned back to Arcbourn. "Very well, Warlord, we will join you." The warlord grinned and started to speak, but Lavitz held up a hand. "On one condition: We have a plan of action. I'm in charge of the Quest, and the Sphere goes to Hawkins. If you help us with this, you will be well rewarded by Hawkins. I mean lands, hereditary titles, money, women, and power. All after he becomes Emperor of course."Arcbourn thinks for a second.

"Ok then. You will come with my men on horseback. You will be blindfolded so the guards won't attack you. When you reach our village, your blindfolds shall be removed, and I shall take you to my lodgings. I hope you like roast pig."

The men jumped from the trees, called, and were soon on horses. Arcbourn mounted Erad and had the men blindfolded.

"Any moves to your weapons shall be counted as an attack towards my men. Lets go"

Just then Arcbourn spoted a lone travaler in the distance.

"Who the hell is that? You were not alone! Ready yourself men!"

[Ender]

Lavitz remained impassive as he was blindfolded. He had been trained to rely on his other senses, and, with proper focus, he can pick up people's "auras". (It's like a sixth sense, we use it in Karate a lot.) He could fight blindfolded, but not always as well. He did, however, frown when he heard that another traveler was coming down the way.
"Dammit..." he muttered.

[Whiteknight]

Dimitri inspected the men on horseback and realized some of them were blindfolded. The paladin slowly lowered his hand to the sword's hilt and let it rest there, ready to react if there was a situation.

"Again, what has happened here?" Dimitri asked cautiously, eyeing the blindfolded men.

(OOC: Is Seal's character still with me, like is he still posting?)

[madman5]

Arcbourn eyed the traveller. His hand was next to his sword.

"We are travelling away from here. They are not prisoners as you might think. Now then, who are you and what are you doing here?"

Arcbourn's warhammer was uneasy in his hand. His men had there spears set for a fight.

[BlackHawk]

Xuther was felt naked with his eyes blindfolded. He didn't trust these bandits to not do something while there eyes were blindfolded. That would be most dishonourable thought Xuther, certaintly even these bandits would not sink so low.

"Who the hell is that? You were not alone! Ready yourself men!"

Another man? There were but three? Perhaps a passerby? Will they kill us because of this extra man? Questions like these ran through Xuther's head as he strained his ears to sense what was going on.

He felt a man brush by on his right, going around behind him. Maybe they are protecting us? Or preparing to stab us in the back? though Xuther gravely.

"Again, what has happened here?"

"We are travelling away from here. They are not prisoners as you might think. Now then, who are you and what are you doing here?"

Xuther was getting nervous, if there was a standoff blindfolded he would be an easy target, and unable to defend himself.

[Whiteknight]

"If they are not prisoners, then why must they be blindfolded?" The same man who had adressed him earlier started to speak, but Dimitri halted him.

"Let them tell me, for I do not ...willingly believe someone who appears to have other's at their mercy."

[BlackHawk]

God this is taking forever, either they kill him or move on, why must they stand here chatting like it's some tea party? thought Xuther, fed up of being blind to the activities. Fed up of these men around him. Fed up of this pointless chatter as the enemies size eachother up.

"We are not prisoners! We are but travellers being taken to their village, blindfolded only to protect their secrecy and location. Now if the two of you are done your chit chat, can we get moving?" said Xuther, his anger rising.

[Ender]

Lavitz heard Xuther speak, and was proud. "Indeed! In fact, I demand that we be unblindfolded! They very fact the we are blindfolded on our on territory is ridiculous!" He paused before he continued. "In fact, if we are not unblindfolded, Hawkins will know. I have a report due to him by magical device in naught but ten minutes! If he does not recieve it within five minutes of the deadline, he will spread his forces out through this area! We will be recognized on sight, and you will be destroyed utterly!"
This was a total bluff, but they couldn't know that. Some magical devices did still exist, communications ones being the most prominent. He waited to see if they fell for it.

[tanain_hawkwing]

(Sorry but no one seems to want to interact with my char so I might aswell leave!)

[Whiteknight]

(OOC: Ender, there is a bit of ...conflict of interest in your story compared to BH's. He says for me to be on my way and that it's all fine, you want your blindfold off. So... uh... right. Tell me which is right type thing before I continue. Ignore the bit below until someone tell's me which is right or if they are both are.)

Dimitri grew increasingly interested as the conversation progressed. The paladin noticed the men fidgiting with their fingers, and realized that they would not allow much more questions without a fight. Unless...
