Illynya

Illynya disregarded Perrins instructions to get into the normal party lineup. She no longer trusts the companions very much, they did not come to her and Revlins aid. If Revlin had not picked the lock , they would still be locked in a cage. She quietly slips away from the party and flanks them to the left. She wants to get out of this forest at all costs. She now has a bad feeling about what may lie ahead of them in the forest. She did not trust that the Naga had total control over all the forests creatures.

Korr cracked is knuckles, he felt useless the past few hours. "What is Korr to do?"

Khan made his way through the forest eyeing the elfen village. "They were here." "Yes but they are not far, we will wait." "Yes wait."

Bad Talen! Bad!

OOC: ::thwaps Talen for living in the past:: Sorry about that, folks - Thought y'all were still back in the bar! Let's just assume he's been following and watching like a good little voyeur.

IC: The golden eagle soars silently over the forest, keeping his sharp eyes on the party. He can't hear them per se, but he easily reads their lips to follow their conversation. The eagle is quite surprised to see the bard-mage stopping to speak with his aunt, and as the party stops for a short break, Talen finally makes up his mind. He swoops down, landing directly in their midst, and shifts to his human form. He stands there, hands on his hips, and waits for a reaction, saying

How fare thee, travelers? Hast thou room for one more?

OOC:

... The eagle is quite surprised to see the bard-mage stopping to speak with his aunt ...

HUH?! WW who are you talking about here? Or is this from yer point of view? When you land you should see 2 females (Illynya & Trilla), 7 males (Thruster, Kor, Perrin, Sorien, Arcreaus, Lucas & Revlin) & a thing that looks like a bug (Acorn) in Thruster's hair. Starkynde is only here in astrial form. Did I miss anything here?

 

[WicceWarrior]

seeing the sights

OOC: Talen saw Starkynde from where he was flying about half a click up. Seeing as how he's a magickal-type of eagle, and eagles see really well, it's not a huge leap to say that Talen can see the Astral just as easily as the physical.

Cool?

 

[chewbacca71]

Perrin quickly takes out his claymore. Where did this stranger come from , he did not see or smell him anywhere? Perrin feels a strange kinship to this new visitor, but is not sure why. Perrin turns to Sorian as asks him if he feels that we can take on another companion. Sorian nods his head yes "We can always use another fighter and I dearsay that his particular abilities will help us out with our scouting ability. "
Perrin is confused by Sorians statement , since he had not seen the eagle land. Sorian clarifies it for Perrin, and now Perrin knows why he is very comfortable with a fellow shapeshifter. Perrin goes over to Talen and offers his hand and welcomes him to the group of adventurers.

 

[WicceWarrior]

Talen

IC: Talen takes Perrin's hand firmly and gives it a single pump. "Well met, my fellow skin-changer. Your fighting abilities are quite impressive, from what I observed from above. " Talen's piercing eyes traverse the assembled party, boring into each in turn. It seems to all whom he gazes upon that he is seeing much more than the average man would - and they are right. He carefully studies each aura, searching for any problems that might lie otherwise unnoticed.

OOC: If anybody has anything they think Talen should see in their aura, feel free to post! If it's something that you would like to keep hidden from the rest of the party, go ahead and PM me. In searching auras, Talen would see your general health, any injuries (including old injuries that aren't properly healed), the general mood of the character (but not the cause of the mood), the orientation of the character (good, bad, tricky, perhaps intelligence level), and finally how much latent magickal/physical power the character has. Of course, this is totally voluntary on everyone's part - I suppose if a magickal character wanted to hide something in their aura, they could do so quite easily.

Arc da Rat..you keep good notes!

ooc:i think you described our party very neatly in a very short space. BTW Chewey, i do keep up with the thread, but i kinda painted myself into a corner for a while yet.

i can only get a word in when the action stops, and you guys are really busy kickin'ass here.<lol>

i probably won't need to "conjure" a body unless we get in trouble in a town or something, but you just wait 'til i pick up my dusty old corpus!

WW it'll be great! if you can see me in my astral form. i can 'use' you as a conduit for messages from time to time instead of depending on telepathy or dreams. Sound OK?

i'm still mystified as to how you see Lucas as my "aunt" i'm 180 years old, but i don't think he's even a greatgreatgreatgreat grand nephew. He's not even of the Blue Realm.

Of course you were-eagles do see thing others of us can't. *chuckle*

i got no action to play here, this may be my shortest post so far. Sorry...i DO get long winded, but i look to the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SS1134...i gotta peek at "DeepCover" even if i don't play...is it spies? i grew up as a spy! i still got some gadgets nobody's ever seen.Maybe i could be like "Q" in the Bond pictures...??

 

[WicceWarrior]

OOC Stupidity

Hmmm...how to squirm out of this one without showing how poorly I read the backstory ? Suppose I can't, so here goes the fix. Let's call it "Bad Talen, v2.0"

Talen sees Starkynde speaking with Lucas. No problem there.
Talen also sees Sorian talking to his, Talen's, aunt. Remember the bird-lady from a while back? That's the aunt I was referring to. See, bad reading - I deserve a spanking from Ilynya or Trilla. The bird-lady Sorian was flirting with can be Talen's father's baby sister.

Work for everyone?

 

[DRxBlue]

Smooooth man..<LOL>

ooc: i can tell, you're gonna be a GREAT asset to this thread...Take two is ALWAYS better.

At least you'll be able to HIT somebody next time we get in a fight. i could give'em fleas or blow'em away with a gust of wind but you'll be more useful. Stick around. Now i know who's aunt you were talking about anyway.

 

[Arc da Rat]

Acorn

OOC: Acorn can wrap you up in goo WW. <G> New Avtar Doc? intresting ...

IC:
While the company regroups, Acorn futter from companion to companion. She finally flies over to Illynya. "Pretty-sun-big-thing no go far. Not safe. Evil-things (rockwolves) not sent by lady-thing. Stay with pretty-thing." She points to the archer. "Lady-thing give word. Lady-thing no lie. Pretty-sun-big-thing know what Acorn saying." She tilts her head in wonder.

"Acorn can talk to other-things in green-place. Big-bug-thing (bugbears) listen to Acorn. Green-ugly-things (goblins) not smart, Acorn have to say what do many times." She taps her fingers against her cap. "White-horn-thing is very deep in green-place. Hooved-big-things here too." She nods. 'Lady-thing make green-place keep safe for all other-things." She goes off to watch Thrustor & gives Illynya something to think about.

Acorn studies the new addition to the troop. "Acorn think gold-bird-big-thing look pretty. Kept safe." She nods to herself.

 

[chewbacca71]

OOC: Ok, we seem to be stuck without direction here, ladies and gentlemen. WW, dont worry about it, I know that we have posted a ton and its a pain to go back and read it all, lol. How about this, lets try to get this started again and if it does not work , then we can just edit it , ok?

Perrin resumes his place at the head of the line with Korr. He is ever watchful of the forest. He sees Illynya talking to Acorn, but it does not seem to have an effect, she still scurries off into the forest alone. Perrin quickly loses sight of her in among the tall trees. He shakes his head and continues his march along the path.

 

[PmTick]

OOC: To be honest with you I'm quite stuck. Don't really know what to do. Seems the board has been slow for the past couple days though.

 

[chewbacca71]

OOC: Yes it has PmTick, but let me see if I can give Korr something to do lol.

Revlin is saddened to see Illynya go into the forest on her own. He understands that is mad with the group for not saving them sooner, but he sees the strength of the enemies that the party had fought. Suddenly, he sees a streak come out of the woods. ITs Illynya. "AMBUSH" she cries.

Revlin sees six trolls come out of the forest where Illynya just came from. The sight of these monstrosities chills the blood in Revlins body. Three more trolls appear ahead of the party and engage the two fighters up front.

 

[superstud1134]

OOC: gonna be busy for the next like 3 or 4 days so i won't be able to post, just don't try to kill him ok, thanks

 

[WicceWarrior]

The birds!

OOC: Time for some Hitchcock...

IC: Talen, upon seeing the monstrosities rambling towards them, leaps into the air. His shift takes but a moment, and he streaks off into the sky. Having reached a good height, he turns in the air, and with a blood-curdling screech, Talen dive-bombs the trolls. As he approaches the first, he brings his rear talons to bear. The massive golden eagle slams feet first into the face of the troll, clawing and screeching. after a few seconds, he kicks off and flies up again, leaving the trolls face a bleeding, mangled mess, both eyes punctured and blind.

OOC: Your turn!

 

[PmTick]

OOC: TY

Korr saw the three beasts before him and took no time hopping into action. He ran toward one of them, picking the beast up by the neck and slamming him into a nearby tree. Though most trolls are slow, they tend to be thick skinned, so this just dazed the creature.

When the troll opened his mouth to yelp in pain, Korr reached his hand inside and grabbed its tougne. He yanked it so that it hung out of the warriors mouth and slammed the beasts jaw down on the tougne. "Korr hate trolls, always steal food!!"

As Korr was beating the troll, another dug a rusty simitar into Korr's back, adding to the scars that decorated his back. Korr batted the attacker to the side, "Wait your turn!"

 

[DRxBlue]

Ambush?! TROLLS??!! Grrrrrrr......

ooc: Starkynde hates TROLLS worse than BUGBEARS!

ic: *From his viewpoint in the Other World Starkynde saw Illynya running back to the rest of the group followed by a half dozen ugly trolls in berserker fury.*

"TROLLS! I despise those things!" he scratched his astral chin, "Well...they DO have one weakness--Their FEET! Anything that weighs 500 pounds and would wear a size 50 boot would be helpless if their feet were injured. Hmmm."

*Examining the field of battle he saw that the hardy band of questers had already begun an excellent defense. Talen and Korr had each incapacitated a troll neatly and efficiently, Korr was about to start work on another when Starkynde waved his hand.

A thick fog, just inches deep, began to spread across the slightly muddy ground of the forest. It was so cold that the water in the mud froze instantly into razor sharp icicles which grew from the soil pointing straight up.

Sorian's party, all wearing boots, hardly noticed the change. The trolls, being barefoot (who would buy size 50 boots for a freaking troll?) immediately began to feel the pricking of the ice razors and then the frigid cold fog that was causing them.

In moments the trolls began to trip and fall and scream in pain. Thurstor, Perrin, Lucas and even Revlin set to the ugly creatures with swords, daggers and rocks.

Sorian barely had a chance to do more than laugh at the mayhem. Arcreaus was bouncing up and down in frustration trying to get a shot in, but his fellows were in his way.

Acorn hovered above the fracas, laughing with delight, She had no love for trolls either. Illynya grabbed a large rock and caved in the skull of a troll.

Tears misted her eyes as she saw the bravery and skill of the other fighters. She began to realize that they had tried their best to help her when she and Revlin had been captured. She also began to realize the power of Sorian's enemies.

Starkynde, gazing into the astral window he had opened to watch the party, smiled at the group.*

"They're a formidable force! Together we just might win this war." he returned to his meditative state, with his ear to the window.

ooc:Mop'em up lads...and brave ladies. i need my rest. Watch out for the swamps straight North of you!

You'll either have to climb the hills to the West or shoot the rapids on the River Glarvine to the East. But Talen could have told you that

Further On Up The Road, mates

Blue

 

[Guest]

OOC: Yes, I'm still in this game. Just haven't had much to do lately.

IC:

Thurstor hears and sees the trolls coming at the party from the woods. He tries to push his way forward, trying to get into the action. But there just isn't enough room. The trail, only about five feet wide, just allow him to slide past his friends between him and the trolls. When he realizes he can't get to the trolls that way, he looks around. Sheathes his sword, picks up a rock from just off the path and holds it over his head. When he gets a clear shot he throws the rock into the air, the rock brushes the tops of the trees before coming down and landing beside one of the trolls. By the time the first stone has landed Thurstor has already launched another and is picking up a third. Thurstor works hard to aim the rocks ahead of the party but at the trolls. The second rock slams one of the trolls in the shoulder. The howl of pain makes the other trolls aware of the bombardment even as a third rock smashes into the same trolls head knocking him silly, but not unconcious. A forth rock slams into another trolls arm, breaking the trolls arm and it's spirit. It turns and retreats just in time to catch the fifth rock a top it's skull sending the troll to the ground.

OOC: I'll wait and see if anyone else wants in on this.

 

[Arc da Rat]

Trilla

OOC: I haven't been posting much, I got upset at what was writen in the OOC of another thread I am in. Haven't posted there either yet too.

IC:
Illynya comes running out of the woods. "AMBUSH!" She cries out. Trolls following her. Trolls are already swamping Perrin & Korr. She starts to cast a spell of cestial healing, (during a short period of time whatever wounds you have will start to heal up), on Korr & Perrin.

Illynya & Revlin get thier shot in when they can. As the icy cold fog rolls in & the trolls get frost-biten toes. She smiles at the handy work of Starynde. "By the Dragon, I must slow them down or we will be over runned." Trilla concentrates & cast her root spell several times. Vines & roots grab on to the ankles of the Trolls, slowing them down.

Thurstor unable to engage in the fighting chucks rocks at the oncoming trolls. Lucas snaps his finger & pops around tossing a fireball or two at the struggling trolls. Arcreaus gets frustrated at not beign able to shoot any arrows off. "Friend Archer, do not worry about the front, guard our back. I sense that we have spronge a trap."

The fight goes on ...

 

[WicceWarrior]

Hiiii-ya!

OOC: OK, folks, I'm a little intoxicated (4 rum & cokes) at the time of this posting, so forgive me for any failings...

IC: Talen, soaring again high in the air, sees the instant, ultraviolent reaction of his compatriots to the sudden onslaught of the foul beasts. His heart swells with pride, but before he can enjoy it, he spots a troll creeping up behind the back of the husky skin-changer, his wickedly sharp blade poised for attack. So, Talen dives again, dropping like a stone from the slate grey sky, talons poised for attack. The razor-sharp claws found their mark, easily plucking the throat from the troll at the wrong end of the attack. However, as Talen swiftly flew from one victim to the next, a troll that was luckily hidden on the other side of a massive oak swung his club, promptly knocking the attacking bird to the ground.

OOC: Help!

 

[WicceWarrior]

Hmmm...

OOC: Sooo...nobody's got anything for Talen to see with his sexy aura-vision? Go ahead and PM even if I'm not online - I'll still get it, kids!

 

[PmTick]

OOC: Arc who's fucking with you? Tell me whom to smite and they will be smoten

IC: Korr was countiuing to bash the troll against the tree when Illyna's celestrial healing spell surrounded him. However, Korr feared magic, barbarians seldom use or even see magic.

"AAaaaarrghg" Korr went into a blind range, unsheathing his two handed blade and flailing it wildly. "Must kill sparkles!!!"

Outside the elf village:

Khan hid in the bushes, waiting for more of the elfen children to pass by. He already had grabbed four of them, he just needed two more.

 

[chewbacca71]

OOC: If its the same post that I think Arc is talking about, I can see why Arc was so Pissed, I sure was. Perrin sees the onslaught of the approaching trolls. Korr jumps in ahead and begins to bash away. Perrin sees a second troll attack Korr from behind . Perrin is able to bash the second troll in the back of the head with the flat side of his claymore. Perrin looks in wonder at the fog that seems to erupt from nowhere. He sees the way that it works to their advantage and knows that someone up above is watching their quest with favor.

Perrin did not notice the troll behind his back till he heard the cry of Talen as he streaked to the attack. As Perrin turns, he is engulfed in a stream of blood erupting from the throat of the troll. Perrin acknowledges the help with a short wave at Talen. Then Perrin sees the troll hit Talen and knock him to the ground.

Perrin is not going to let his new friend be hurt. He lets rise to a bloodcurdling battle cry and charges at the troll. He takes a mightly hack into the arm of the troll. Green blood spills from the gash in its arm. Perrin rolls under the trolls blade and scoops up Talen in his off arm. He quickly retreats back a few steps with the eagle in his grasp. He turns from the injured troll and sees Sorian coming to his aid.

Sorian jumps in to engage the troll, while Perrin brings Talen to Trilla to make sure he is not too badly injured. Perrin puts his back to Trilla and Talen, vowing to protect them from harm at all costs.
