Dungeons and Dragons: The Time of Dragons (IC Thread)

Miaaa had no desire to search bodies of goblins really but it was probably a good idea to do such things. She comes across 3 gold and a couple daggers nothing spectacular really but enough to provide everyone with a few things at a store probably. She wouldn't really know though she hadn't been out of the church in a very long time. "Well I've found 3 gold and 2 daggers." She smiled and felt accomplished for defeating the goblins.
 
Drec:

OOC: I found a +1 mace

IC:"Well Ezmi isn't allowed to be near sharp objects, so if any one can get the one she has away from her we can decided who gets the scimitar who gets the daggers and who gets the 3 gold."
 
Raven stroked the hawks head as his skwaked on his shoulder he smiled at his companions as he said " if we must take any thing let it be only what we need im shure that these goblins were not alone and their friends might come looking for them" he said a small prayer in sylvan to the gods of nature as he waited
 
"We should probably hurry on soon. I want to rest soon because my gods faith in me has been shaken for the day." She smiled at the 2 new comers and pointed a finger at the other girl. "Drop the sharp objects and your boyfriend won't have to hurt you." She giggled at her own joke.
 
Raven smiled as he spoke another prayer in sylvan and said " perhaps the lady likes for her men to be rough with her you never know now a days what people are into" he smiled a bit enjoying his barb at sharp tounged woman
 
"Excuse me"

A rather rough-looking human man stepped out from behind a nearby tree and smiled pleasently when he saw he had the group's attention

"Nice work with the goblins there. I thaught they were never going to leave. Teach me to stray off the beaten path, eh?" He chuckled to himself. "Anyway, might I ask where you are headed?"
 
"We have always treated one another this way, Drec and I." Ezmi said as she looked at Miaaa, almost appraisingly before saying. "You know, you remind me of Melda... She gave me that sort of look once... Or twice..."

Ezmi turned her eyes upon the half drow next, getting the same smirk she always got when she would make a comment about Drec, or his heritage. "Starcatcher, eh? Its a wonder how your forebearers managed to catch them, let alone see them through a few thousand miles of solid rock...

Drec commented that they fought like an old married couple, at which Ezmi only scoffed. "Feh, you a child of the gypsy, Drec? Don't make me laugh! You're about as gypsy as a bog troll is white."

Ezmi was silent while the others collected their findings from the goblins, noticing air of femenine standoffishness from the one known as Miaaa in the way she stripped the bodies. "Not like Melda at all..." Ezmi muttered softly lowering her eyes from the group.

Lowering them until Drec suggested she be releived of her blade, that is. She snapped them back up with a cat like sharpness in them. She remained silent until Miaaa made her comment, to which she spat. "And the last time he tried take something from me, I gave him those..." Ezmi pointed at three faint, but distinguishable scars, obviously from her finger nails, along his bare forearm." Smiling wickedly at him.

At the appearance of this new individual, Ezmi spun about, leveling her blade toward the man, in all his roughness, as she crouched in a defensive posture. There was an artistic quality to how fluidly she had moved though, much like a dancer.
 
IC: ' And the last time he tried take something from me, I gave him those...' She pointed at my arm.

"Ah Ezmi will make some unlucky bastard very unhappy one day, but it won't be I to marry her."

A strong man steped out from behind he bushes. Seems he is quite adept at hiding. 'Nice work with the goblins there. I thaught they were never going to leave. Teach me to stray off the beaten path, eh.' He chuckled to himself. 'Anyway, might I ask where you are headed?'

"Well perhaps your the unlucky bastard. If you wish to marry Ezmi I will take you to the chapel provided you can keep her in a warm kitchen."
 
The man chuckled at the comment of marrage and raised his hands in mock surrender. "I swear by the ever-watchful eye of Helm, I have no designs on the woman"

He stepped closer to the group, keeping a careful watch on their weapons. "No need for those with me, I assure you. I'm just a simple carpenter looking to make my way through these woods. Pavel be my name, and if you're heading to town, I'd appreciate the company" Pavel put on his best reassuring smile
 
"One more chauvenistic word from anyone, and I'll make the speaker a eunuch!" Ezmi hissed, swinging her scimitar before her, making the air whistle as she did. She grudgingly stowed it though as the stranger came closer, though she did not relax her posture.
 
as raven bowed to the new comer he thought to himself that something wasnt right what force of nature could bring about such strange events " My name is Raven Starcatcher " he said as he stood up and extened his hand to the man
 
Miaaa waited a second and listened to Ezmi rant before speaking under her voice in Draconic. She wasn't impressed with this girls attitude but she was a bit jealous of her outspoken nature.

Miaaa extended her hand to everone's to shake. Miaaa Nightwhisper.
 
"Starcatcher, Nightwhisperer... I am begining to see a trend here... Tell me Pavel, might your last name be something like Shadowstalker, Mistdancer, or some such? I... Am Ezmirylda Corvaran, and the oaf over there that fancy's himself a cleric goes by the name Drec... He has never told me HIS last name, but if your last names are any indication, it's probably Skywalker. He seems a daytime sort of man." Ezmi smiled like a cat teasing its prey as she spoke.
 
Pavel shook all the proffered hands. When he got to Ezmirelda and her comment about surnames he let out a herty laugh "Why no, miss Ezmirelda. My surname is not Elvish, Gnomish or Dwarven. Quite simply, it's Umar. Making me simple, plain, Pavel of Umar" He chuckled again at the woman's gaze and her mention of another elfish-style name "Although, I could take a haughty name if it would make you all feel more relaxed"
 
Miaaa put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrow. Her eyes glaring at the human woman. "What prey tell is wrong with my Elven heritage. If it isn't blatantly obvious I am an Elf." The young girl sighs with a bit of anger in her voice.
 
"It just might at that, Pavel." Ezmi said with a sly wink as she turned to face Miaaa, still smiling that cat like smile. "Nothing at all, it seems to fit you, however I had thought most elven names were more... Flowery, such as Almaphloriea, or Venusuvian... What with your kinds fanatic love of nature."
 
Miaaa lifted her chin and made a sighing sound. "Well I never!" this girl Ezmi was getting to her nerves quite easily and she didn't have the patients to deal with it right now. She turned and headed towards the east.
 
Raven began to smile a broad ear to ear smile as he said sence everyone is so concerned with heritage i might as well embrace mine and tell you out right that i have only been using a more pronoce able name my true name is Din-Doril of the house of Arab-afin" he then began to speak in sylvan thanking the gods of nature and his dead mother for thier protection
 
Drec:

"Well let us not stay here growing old togeather, afterall this conversation is groing quite stale and perhaps the good carpenter can ut us up for the night in town. Or were our two elvish friends leaving town?"
 
Raven followed miaa to the east " hey settle down dont let her get under your skin" he placed his hand on her shoulder " its not worth it to let some one like her get you all worked up like that"
 
"Never?" Ezmi asked after Miaaa, teasingly.

"Duly noted, Din-Doril of house Arab-Afin." Ezmi said, sharing his smile.

"You are quite right Drec... Skywalker... we have dawdled here long enough, Inari has grown quite restless, it would seem." And that she had, she tossed her head about, snuffling as she stomped a hoof against the ground.

Ezmi followed after Raven and Miaaa, not so close that she would intrude, but close enough that she could make out what they were saying. "Correct me, if I am wrong, Drec, but isn't getting them worked up the enjoyable part? "
 
Raven turned around and walked backwards while he looked at the gypsy woman and said " Ezmi i would welcome the company of one such as your self if you would promise to keep that barbed toung of yours in check you see i dont think it wise to provoke someone with out do provication and though you have an elegant way with words my dear lady your talents are all but lost on some one quick to temper" he gave her a smile and turned back around
 
Ezmi was silent for a moment at Raven's words, but only for a moment. "Your chivalry surprises me, Raven, but if the woman cannot weather my barbed tongue, I wonder if the life of an adventurer is suited to her? After all, such a life is filled with pain and discomfort, as I am sure you well know, coming from the world of the underdark as you must have."
 
Raven shuddered visably at the mention of the underdark as dark memories came swiming back into his mind. he turned around once more with a smile on his face and said " many adventurers start out much the same as her though as we both well know and there is noting wrong with some one being honest with ones self about who they are and what offends them" he spoke a curse in sylvan to his sisters who had sold him to the breeding camps after his father had died
 
Miaaa turned and looked at Ezmi. "Please forgive me Mi Lady. I was raised that a woman was to act proper. I'm new to this adventuring and the head cleric wouldn't of sent me on this mission if he didn't think I could handle it. In due time I'm sure I'll be able to trade verbal assults with the best of them but that doesn't mean I have to. You are welcome to join us in this quest you all might find yourselves useful in one way or another. Once we get to town though i must rest and pray." Miaaa turned and headed back towards the city to the east.
