Yerix: *Yerix sits on Moonfrost riding down the path*
Kel: *Kel sits on the grass, working out some figures on a slate* Carry the four, three times seven...5, carry the two...
Sam: *walks down the path*
Kel: *finishes and records her answers on a piece of parchment* Now, to find a component seller
Yerix: *she swings down for lunch near Kel coincidental*
Kel: Oh hi
Yerix: *looks at Kel* Hello.
Kel: *stands up, dusting herself off* I'm Kel.
Yerix: Yerix. *She nodds her head*
Sam: *is.... alone...for once*
Mark: :Is asleep against a tree or something:
Yerix: *sits down then reaches up and pulls a bunch of ruby red grapes out of nowhere*
Kel: Well, nice to meet you. I'm going to go into town and find the components seller...I'll be back, though. It's better out here.
Kel: Roiga Thiloi *walks into the portal she created*
Mark: :Sleep sleeps:
Mark: :Is in town, actually. Asleep on a random bench: x.x
Kel: *zooms off to the town* *walks up to the components seller*
Kel: Hello, Miss. I need this, please. *Hands over her piece of parchment*
Yerix: *chews the grapes thoughtfully looking at the spot where Kel vanished*
Yerix: Looks like it's faster but I'd miss u, Moonfrost.
Kel: *the shopkeeper rummages around her stall, and returns to the front with a sack* Here you go. *Kel checks the sack and then pays the lady* Thanks
Mark: :Sits up suddenly, shaking his head. He raises a hand to his side and grits his teeth, then lays back down:
Yerix: *reaches up and pulls a piece of bread out of nowhere*
Kel: *goes over to the food seller to buy some dough and eggs and chocolate*
Mark: :Sighs and stands up, digging around in his pockets for money. He walks off to find some food:
Kel: *buys the items, and then stands to the side to make a cake*
Mark: :Orders some bread, glancing curiously at Kel:
Kel: *adds the dough to the eggs* *feels that feeling of someone watching her* *looks up* Uh..hi
Kel: *adds the chocolate to the egg dough, and then cooks it with her magic*
Mark: :Shrugs and takes the bread, glancing once more at Kel before stumbling off to the bench across the street:
Kel: *takes the cake and then, looking at the person one last time, casts a spell to take her back to the grassy place she was sitting at* Roiga Thelem
Kel: *steps down onto the grass, and twists her ankle* ARGH
Kel: Stupid ankle, stupid grass, stupid place, stupid cake! it's all your fault, cake! *chucks it into a tree*
Mark: :Blinks and mutters a quick spell to find out where she went and, uttering a few more words, follows her:
Kel: *sits down on the grass, healing her ankle* *muttering* stupid cake...Puish Zharil
Kel: *applies pressure to her foot* better...
Kel: *wraps it up with a bandage*
Mark: :Sits down near a tree, watching her. He stands and slinks behind her, quietly, and presses the flat of his sword against her neck: One of such rank caught off guard is a rare experience indeed, miss..
Kel: *stays still*
Kel: Yes, it is
Mark: Nothing to even say in your defense? Oh well. :He chuckles and pulls the blade away, sitting down:
Kel: I give no excuses for my mistakes
Kel: *glances at the cake-stained tree* Well, at least not usually
Mark: Fine then, miss. :He smirks, sheathing the sword:
Kel: Want some cake?
Mark: :Looks up: Not after it's been in a tree..
Kel: Okay. *some falls onto the ground* How bout after it's been in a tree then on the ground?
Mark: Naaah. I'll stick to the plain ol' bread. :Hands her a piece: Want some?
Kel: No thanks.
Kel: *passes it back*
Kel: I've got an apple. *pulls it out of her pack*
Kel: *eats her apple*
Mark: :Yawns and munches on the bread happily:
Kel: *plants the apple core and mutters some words* Malar Casith *a sprout shoots Mark up* It's going to be a pear tree.
Mark: And how long will it take to grow?
Kel: Same as usual
Kel: But I just helped it along a bit
v: I'm just working on my magic.. I stick more to the physical fighting than anything..
Kel: I've done the opposite. I mainly focus on magic, but I am trained in sword a bit
Yerix: *wakes up from her sleep and sees Kel and Mark * Hullo.
Kel: Hi
Mark: 'lo there. So, miss, what's your name?
Yerix: Yerix. and yours?
Kel: Oh, yeah. My name's Kel
Mark: Pleasure to meet you both. Yerix, come sit and eat if you wish. I'm Mark, mercenary.
Kel: Would you like some cake, Yerix?
Mark: Say no!
Mark: o.o;;
Yerix: Thank you no. My people are allergic to sugar.
Yerix: *looks at Mark * Why? what's wrong with the cake?
Kel: It's on the tree
Yerix: *moves over to join them*
Kel: *points to a tree*
Mark: Oh, poor you. Although you wouldn't want ithat/i cake..
Yerix: *looks at tree* oh. why?
Mark: She threw it. :points to Kel: o.O
Kel: It was an...accident?
Mark: :Laughs, looking at the cake:
Kel: It would have tasted good, too. I think. I haven't cooked much.
Mark: It looks rather under cooked.. I don't know..
Yerix: I've never cooked. Anything i fancy is there when i reach for it. by product from living in the Fairy Mists.
Kel: If anything, it should be cooked the best, but mixed badly. I heated it with my magic, so at least that's practiced
Kel: Oh, that's really interesting!
Yerix: *reaches up and pulls down a glass of a sparkling blue liquid*
Yerix: *sips it*
Yerix: So, where are you people headed?
Kel: I'm just walking around
Kel: Practicing my magic, and I'm on a quest for Ms. Flinarlya
Yerix: I suppose that's what I'm doing. Walking around i mean. I've been exiled.
Kel: I need to retrieve her father's axe from the Redoubt
Yerix: Why do u need to do that?
Kel: Exiled? Oooh
Kel: I like to help people
Yerix: Oh, I see
Yerix: The Fay think that I "tolerate" humans too much. *sighs* they don't really like your kind. and i don't mind u. so, they forced me to live outside the Fay Mists.
Kel: They seek me out to help them, and so I do. Sometimes they reward me, but I do it for the adventure. Would either of you like to come with me?
Kel: Oh. I'm sorry.
Yerix: Sure, what the hey. I've gotten nothing pressing to attend to.
Kel: okay
Kel: Mark?
Yerix: Its ok. They were really stuffy and pompous anyway. *sighs*
Kel: *stands up and winces a bit, but looks at her map*
Kel: The Redoubt is an hour's walk Southeast of here
Yerix: *plunges her hand into the ground and it transforms into a miniature of the continent*
Yerix: *looks at the spot she indicated* There seems to be a lot of people around there. Is that normal? *points to the map*
Kel: Maybe they are also helping Ms. Flinarlya?
Mark: :Draws an arrow from his quiver, and a dagger. He lightly runs the blade along the tip, whistling with boredom:
Yerix: Perhaps. *gazes at the map* perhaps.
Kel: Or maybe those are monsters
Mark: What is it you need, now?
Mark: Me? What?
Kel: Yes. Would you like to come with Yerix and I?
Kel: It's a quick walk, even quicker run southeast from here
Yerix: *pulls her hand out of the ground and it subsides back to normal*
Mark: Fine then. You paying for me to fight for you, or am I coming on my own free will?
Kel: Coming of your own free will, I believe
Kel: It's only monsters, not people. And I don't know if we'll get paid for it. If we do, though, we will split it evenly
Yerix: Sounds good to me. *shrugs* its something to do.
Kel: Yeah.
Mark: Fine.. Although I usually don't come so willingly. I'm bored.
Kel: Okay
Yerix: *reaches up and pulls a slim sword decorated with intricate markings and straps it to her waist*
Yerix: Just in case.
Kel: *pulls out her blinky orb and holds it in her right hand* Okay, this way. *Starts jogging south-east*
Yerix: *pulls out a small dagger and slips it inside her boot*
Mark: :Stands and puts the arrow back in the quiver, following her:
Yerix: *leaps on Moonfrost and follows Kel*
Kel: *her sword is in its sheath*
Kel: *keeps jogging* *sees someone close by*
Kel: Hello, miss. Are you also going to the Redoubt?
Sam: uh.....I'm walking...down the street...
Yerix: *stops Moonfrost and looks down at the person*
Kel: Okay...Would you like to come on a quest with us?
Sam: *thinks* ok
Kel: okay
Kel: this way
Sam: *follows*
Kel: *runs off, and we're almost there*
Yerix : *clucks to Moonfrost and she leaps forward again*
Mark: :Chases after her, running up to her side:
Kel: *run run run run run run run run run run STOP*
Kel: We're here! *points towards the spinning purple portal* that way.
Yerix: *Moonfrost skids to a stop and Yerix swings down from the saddle*
Mark: :Blinks and stares at it:
Sam: interesting
Yerix: *touches Moonfrost's nose and she turns into a little horse figurine*
Kel: Just walk through it, like this. *walks through*
Yerix: *slips it in her pocket*
Yerix: *walks through*
Kel: *appears in an underground room, with a bed in the corner and a chest*
Sam: *follows*
Sam: I'm not last.
Mark: :Sighs and grabs his sword hilt, walking through:
Yerix: *appears next to Kel* so, what are we looking for? the ax?
Kel: Yes. the Axe
Sam: an axe?!?!!?
Kel: It should be around here...somewhere
Yerix: *strides over to the chest* interesting. come look at this.
Kel: *opens the doors* *a vast chamber with four doors out of it comes into view*
Kel: *walks over to the chest*
Mark: :Blinks and follows:
Yerix: *there is no crack where the opening is only a handprint on the top of the box*
Kel: What is it?
Sam: *last
Kel: Open it
Kel: *hands over a key to Yerix*
Yerix: but there's no keyhole.
Kel: Okay
Mark: :Presses his hand in the print: I don't get it. o.O
Kel: Then, by magic
Sam: put your hand on it...like he did
Kel: Milam Sorris
Yerix: *looks at her hand* my fingers are too long.
Kel: *presses her hand into the print*
Yerix: *presses her hand as best she can into the print*
Kel: *the chest opens* Just some magic
Kel: *looks at her little hand, then at the print* It must conform to your hand
Kel: *looks in the chest*
Yerix: *looks in chest*
Yerix: What is that?
Kel: I don't know
Sam: don't ask me
Sam: *me
Yerix: *reaches in and pulls out a flat strip of metal that is purple and silver*
Kel: A...throwing weapon?
Sam: it's.....
Sam: metal
Yerix: *the metal comes alive at the touch and forms itself into a snake*
Sam: interesting
Kel: *jumps back*
Yerix: *Yerix shrieks and drops it*
Yerix: *it turns back into a strip of metal*
Mark: :Draws his sword and stands in front of the metal, in case.: What the hell..?
Yerix: What WAS that?
Yerix: I HATE snakes.
Kel: Chaos...that's crazy
Yerix: *backs up*
Sam: um......crazy
Kel: *surrounds it in a small barrier*
Kel: *lifts it up with magic* anyone want it?
Mark: :Digs through the rest of the trunk: Seems to be filled with nothing but bits of metal and blankets.
Mark: :Holds out his hand: I'll take it.
Kel: *gives it to Mark *
Mark: :Tosses it to Jen:
Kel: *catches it*
Kel: *her eyes kind of glaze over and she screams*
Sam: eep
Yerix: *shivers and steps back more*
Sam: i dun want it
Yerix: *snatches the metal from Kel and throws it on the floor*
Yerix: *the grim or the reaper thing*
Kel: *falls to the ground* I hate that thing
Kel: *puts her head into her hands and rocks back and forth quietly*
Yerix: what was it for u? *she shivers*
Sam: its okay, Kel
Kel: I was falling
Kel: Forever and ever
Kel: Thank you, Yerix
Sam: oooo
Yerix: *looks at her wings* I'd catch u.
Kel: *stands back up*
Yerix: Your welcome.
Kel: I'm okay now
Mark: :Picks it up and looks at it curiously. His eyes glaze over for a minute and he mouths something, as though he can't talk. Stumbling backwards, he clutches it harder:
Yerix: *tries to snatch it from him and fails to get it away from his grasp*
Yerix: HELP ME!
Kel: *reaches out with her magic and flings it back into the chest*
Yerix: *slams the lid shut*
Sam: Amen.
Mark: :Falls backwards, and sits up: What the hell is that damn thing.. :he breathes hard, glaring at the chest:
Yerix: What... what did u see?
Kel: *shakes her head, getting the fear out*
Mark: Nothing. I couldn't talk, see, or hear. Damnit, it was like I was dead or something.
Kel: Maybe we should move on...
Mark: :Stands back up, his hand on his sword hilt: Fine then..
Yerix: U ok Mark?
Mark: I'm fine. :He looks around for the next door, all the fear gone from his face:
Kel: Okay, well, into the next part. *walks through the door*
Sam: *follows*
Yerix: *follows Kel, looking around warily*
Sam: I'm not last
Mark: :Walks after her silently, drawing his sword in front of him:
Kel: *the cavern splits into four corridors* Split up?
Yerix: *pulls her sword out, it makes a steely noise*
Yerix: I guess so.
Kel: Okay
Sam: ok then
Mark: :Passes out a few whistles:
Kel: *hands each person a small stone*
Yerix: *stands in front on the left most one*
Yerix: *takes the whistle and the stone*
Kel: Whistle for trouble, talk into the stone if you find something
Sam: *takes the stuff*
Mark: :Takes the far right one:
Kel: *stands next to Yerix*
Sam: *takes the last one*
Yerix: Good luck.
Yerix: *starts down her path*
Kel: Good luck, also
Sam: ditto
Kel: *walks down, looking for monsters and such*
Sam: *hopes she doesn't get attacked by bugs*
Yerix: *as soon as she starts down it, the temperature begins to rise*
Kel: Corsum Malath *her inner senses search for items in her path*
Mark: :Walks down the cave-thing silently, wrapping his cloak around him as the temperature drops:
Sam: *looks around*
Yerix: *suddenly, there is a burst of flame in front of her and she stops just short of a being a tasty critter*
Kel: *walks up a ramp, and the temperature increases*
Yerix: *there is a burst behind her and she begins to run stopping here and there avoiding the flames*
Kel: *opens a regular chest, but there are just some shirts in there*
Sam: *is about to walk on and there's a nice big pit in front of her...blocking the way*
Yerix: *at the very last flame burst, her left wing is caught in the flame and with a shriek she collapses*
Kel: *Quietly walks into the next room, and sees a monster*
Yerix: *Yerix gets to her feet looking back at her charred wing and she grimaces* can't stop now...
Sam: oh great....a nice big pit
Kel: *hits it with a flame bolt, and then a lightning bolt* Xhpaja! Dummon!
Yerix: *keeps walking and a goblin like creature with a sword jumps out* you shall not PASS!
Mark: :Drudges down the cave, and realizes that there is half a foot of snow on the cave floor: What the heck? =/ :Keeps walking:
Kel: *goes over to the corpse, and looks through the purse of the monster*
Sam: *thinks of how to get over it*
Yerix: *she begins to struggle with the goblin and finally pierces his shoulder*
Kel: *retrieves a healing kit and a spell scroll*
Yerix: *with a shriek he lunges at her... conveniently right onto her sword*
Mark: :Enters a large cavern, and looks up, realizing that there's a medium-sized Frost Dragon there: Oh, this is great. -.-
Yerix: *with a sneer she kicks him off her blade and wipes his blood off*
Yerix: *she then continues to walk*
Sam: oh gees..........this is dandy
Kel: *enters what seems to be the last cavern* Nothing here...*sits on the ground to think*
Kel: *starts to sink into the floor*
Mark: :Tiptoes past it's sleeping form, not wanting to wake or kill it. He draws his sword silently, and enters another cave, behind its thrashing tail.:
Sam: ok I'll just have to jump
Kel: Oh no! Of all things, I'd have to fall through something--*falls down through the floor, her fear building up* *falls onto a monster*
Kel: YAHHHHH!
Yerix: *the temperature continues to rise to an almost unbearably temp*
Sam: *jumps....but doesn't make it* eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Kel: *stands up, to find she knocked it out* I am lucky...*breathes out*
Mark: :Slinks into a smaller cavern, and three Orcs jump from a ledge above him. He draws his sword and lashes out, running past them. One falls:
Kel: *sees it was guarding a long corridor*
Yerix: *walks right into a pit not even noticing*
Sam: *keeps falling*
Yerix: *falls onto Kel*
Kel: *walks down the corridor*
Kel: *is knocked down, the wind blown out of her* OOF
Yerix: *jumps off Kel, her head spinning*
Yerix: Kel, u alright?
Kel: *breathing hard, trying to breath better* you...okay? I'm fine
Kel: *sits up*
Sam: *is still falling and is getting fed up*
Mark: :Jumping up onto another ledge, he draws the bow and an arrow, aiming with deadly accuracy. He shoots the other two down easily, then runs on:
Mark: :
Yerix: I'm fine.
Kel: I fell on something...
Yerix: *shakes her head to clear it*
Kel: *picks up a ring*
Kel: *The ring is white ivory, with pieces of diamonds all the way around*
Yerix: *a goblet comes down the shaft and hits Yerix on the head*
Yerix: *she falls to the ground*
Sam: whhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttt thhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee mmmmmmmmmmoooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Mark: :Dashes past a goblin and an 8-foot troll, hoping not to get hit with the goblins arrow. He notices a short axe in the troll's hand: Oh damn.
Yerix: *the goblet is made of marble*
Sam: *finally hits the ground*
Sam: ok.......*breath* that hurt
Kel: *puts it on her middle finger* Maybe someone lost this. I should return it...and if no one claims it, sell it.
Yerix: *looks at Sam in surprise* Hullo.
Kel: Hi Sam
Sam: ow
Yerix: *looks at the goblet* its still got water in it!
Yerix: After that long fall.
Sam: falling for 5 minutes isn't fun
Kel: Unbelievable
Yerix: *without thinking she drinks it*
Kel: Falling for 5 seconds isn't fun
Yerix: *immediately she chokes and the wing behind her grows whole again*
Sam: can u imagine falling...and falling...and falling?
Sam: cool...
Kel: I'd hate to imagine
Sam: i thought i was gonna make tea or something
Yerix: Wow! My wing! It's healed!
Kel: Whoa
Yerix: *stares at the goblet* look, its refilled.
Yerix: I just drank the whole thing!
Kel: *stands up* I wonder where Mark is...
Sam: wowie.
Mark: :Dashes around and leaps onto the trolls back, shooting it in the skull with a poisonous arrow. It falls and he grabs the axe, ignoring the goblin. Seeing a hole in the rock where the troll fell, he walks into it, and stumbles upon
Mark: the group: x.x
Kel: Hi
Sam: hello
Yerix: Oh! hullo Mark.
Kel: Now, to get out of here
Sam: *is still on the ground* nice ceiling
Yerix: *hands the goblet to Kel* Take a sip.
Mark: :chuckles and looks at them: 'lo again.
Yerix: *helps Sam up*
Kel: *takes a sip*
Sam: thanks.
Mark: :He slips the axe in his belt:
Kel: *a surge of energy goes through her, and her breath has returned, her cracked rib mends itself*
Kel: Great! we got the axe, and a goblet, and this ring
Yerix: *looks at the goblet* Look! It's filled up AGAIN!
Sam: I'll be right back
Sam: *jumps up into the hole
Yerix: Mark, care for a drink?
Kel: That's... abnormal
Yerix: yes it is.
Sam: *climbs.....into another hole in the wall*
Mark: Don't know.. often times things such as that can have bad long-term effects..
Sam: hmmmm
Yerix: Well, i can fly again. if not for this i would never have been able to fly again. i really don't care about the long-term effect.
Sam: look! Its a book......*picks it up and the ceiling starts to crumble* uh oh
Kel: I'm just glad not to have to climb out of here with a broken rib
Yerix: *tucks the goblet into her pack*
Sam: *jumps down the hole*
Kel: uh oh
Sam: move out of the way
Yerix: *looks at the ceiling* oh no...
Kel: *moves out of the way, into the corridor further*
Yerix: *runs down the passageway*
Mark: :Struggles to stand and runs:
Kel: *mutters a quick healing spell on Mark, one that doesn't have bad side affects*
Sam: *runs away as the cave thing gets filled with rocks*
Yerix: *behind them the stones crash and the dust rises*
Sam: i didn't do it O:-)
Kel: Of course you didn't.
Yerix: of course nooootttt.
Kel: *runs up a ramp, the heat increasing*
Yerix: WAIT!
Sam: but i didn't try it
Kel: *stops*
Yerix: *immediately there is a burst of flame in front of Kel*
Kel: *stumbles back*
Kel: Thanks
Yerix: You're welcome.
Yerix: I guess we'll just have to be careful.
Sam: that's great
Kel: *continues running, and the ramp levels off to a fork in the tunnel*
Mark: :Follows them with new energy, lungs filled with air:
Yerix: I'm sure there's a pattern.
Kel: Ennie meanie minie mo
Mark: :Shrugs and takes the left:
Yerix: *flies after Kel*
Kel: This way to go! *spins around and then stops and points down the left tunnel*
Mark: :Calls back: I already got it!
Kel: *runs down it at top speed*
Sam: ug.
Sam: *follows*
Yerix: *flies as fast as she can, the rocks still crashing behind them*
Mark: :Jumps over a patch of fire that shoots out, still running:
Kel: *cave keeps crashing in*
Yerix: *flies above the flames*
Kel: *Shoots up an ice barrier for one second when she runs through the fire*
Sam: *follows in the back as usual*
Kel: *they come into the original cavern, with the door and four tunnels*
Mark: :Mutters a quick curse as a boulder falls down near him, and continues to run, sprinting faster:
Sam: oh great
Kel: *goes up to the door* It's locked!
Kel: The axe?
Kel: Or magic?
Sam: that might work
Yerix: *from in the shadows comes a cloaked figure*
Sam: axe
Sam: oh goodie
Yerix: Thinking u could leave so soon?
Sam: who's that?
Mark: :Draws the axe and hacks at it, ignoring the cave crashing behind them:
Yerix: Without visiting?
Kel: *spins around*
Kel: Sorry, sir, no time to talk
Sam: what do u want?
Sam: i don't want a splitting headache thank u
Mark: :Blinks and looks at the figure for a moment, before returning to chopping at the door:
Kel: *hopes the door opens*
Sam: kick it
Kel: *shoots a bolt of fire at one side of the door*
Yerix: *the figure points at the door and a force field appears in front of the door*
Sam: oh that's great
Kel: chaos!
Sam: *throws hands up*
Kel: What do you want, Usoae?
Sam: now we're gonna be buried by rocks
Yerix: *figure* you have to get rid of me first *the figure hisses*
Mark: :Brings the axe down once more and it bounces back hard, sprawling him on the floor: . Damn magic..
Sam: Oh my gosh!
Mark: :Stands up and puts the axe back in his belt: Kel, you might want to heal me after I remove the arrow from my side. -.- :Winces and pulls it out:
Sam: *stands behind everyone and looks through the bookie*
Kel: *heals Mark *
Yerix: *the figure points at Sam and begins to chant something*
Sam: uh oh
Kel: *steps in front of Sam*
Mark: :Grins and puts the arrow in the quiver, drawing his sword.: You want a fight, then..
Yerix: *Pulls her sword out*
Yerix: I think not.
Kel: *puts a spell on Mark and Yerix's swords*
Sam: *says something from the book and it hits the dude*
Yerix: *the dude is thrown backward with a hiss of pain*
Mark: :Dashes around to the other side of the figure, sword singing as he slices it downwards:
Sam: wowie. look at that
Yerix: *Yerix strikes the figure at the same time as Mark *
Kel: *the blinky orb builds up a great power of flying light* EVERYONE DOWN
Yerix: *drops to the floor*
Sam: *goes down then*
Mark: :Mutters something and ducks to the floor:
Kel: *lets it go*
Kel: *the light flies in a straight line towards the monster, weakening it greatly*
Yerix: *behind them the cave continues to crumble*
Kel: Okay, go!
Sam: *gets up then*
Yerix: *jumps up and begins hacking at the figure*
Mark: :Stands and goes to the door: Keep fighting, I'll get this :He draws the axe and hacks at a small hole, slowly widening it:
Kel: *sways slightly, then sit down*
Kel: **sits
Sam: u ok?
Kel: Major Magic, I'm fine
Kel: Keep going at it
Yerix: *the figure draws a sword and begins fighting with Yerix*
Sam: i like this book :-D
Mark: Damnit.. :He turns back and grabs Kel, bringing her towards the door: Rest up. :He chops at the door again:
Yerix: *at a pause Yerix throws her dagger hilt first at Sam*
Yerix: *she then hisses to her* get it from behind!
Kel: *rests a bit, and then uses the healing kit she found on the monster and heals herself quicker*
Yerix: *she continues to hold it's attention by fighting fiercely*
Sam: *takes it and gets the dude?*
Kel: Okay. *grabs her sword, and runs towards the figure*
Mark: :Turns around, throwing the axe straight for the figures back:
Yerix: *the figure hisses and turns to Sam then Yerix and Kel and Mark strike and there is a horrible smell an the figure falls
Sam: ewww
Kel: *covers her nose with a cloth*
Kel: I believe it's dead
Yerix: *Yerix steps back with a grimace*
Yerix: I sure hope so.
Sam: don't rest in peace
Kel: Me too
Mark: :Snorts and shakes his head, ignoring the smell. The door shatters to pieces:
Kel: *pulls the axe out of the monster thingy*
Yerix: Come on!
Sam: *runs out*
Mark: :Runs through, avoiding falling rocks:
Kel: *mutters quick cleansing spell, and it is not bloody anymore* Coming! *runs*
Yerix: *behind them the cave collapses*
Kel: *runs through the portal to outside*
Yerix: *flies through at top speed*
Mark: :Jumps through it, as a loud BOOM sounds behind them:
Sam: *is out before everyone*
Kel: *stumbles out into a forested area*
Yerix: *falls to her knees gasping for breath*
Kel: *leans against a tree* Whoa. That's sure more of a quest than I bargained for.
Sam: i now dislike rock
Sam: *rocks
Yerix: *laughs*
Yerix: I must agree.
Kel: *grins weakly*
Kel: Yeah
Kel: *slides down the trunk, sitting on the ground* Now...to get to the owner of the axe
Mark: :Coughs and sits down, slumping against a tree:
Kel: After...we rest up a bit
Sam: u ok?
Yerix: *looks at Kel in dismay then takes a sip of the goblet* I think I'll be needing this.
Yerix: *passes the goblet to Sam*
Kel: Yeah
Sam: *is actually ok*
Yerix: Kel, you want a sip?
Kel: Please
Kel: *takes a small sip*
Kel: *passes it back to Yerix*
Yerix: *looks at Mark *
Yerix: What about u?
Mark: None for me..
Yerix: ok then.
Kel: *sighs and does an easy healing spell once more*
Mark: Don't waste your energy on me; I don't need it.
Yerix: *stores the Goblet in her pack and looks around feeling much better*
Kel: I've got plenty of energy to spare, thanks to that Goblet
Yerix: *reaches up and pulls down a bunch of ruby red grapes and begins to munch*
Kel: *stands up and stretches*
Yerix: Anybody hungry?
Sam: now....what was the point of this?
Kel: Starved.
Yerix: what would u like?
Kel: Anything?
Kel: The point of this was to retrieve the axe for someone who asked me to help.
Mark: :Digs into his pocket for the bread, and eats another piece. He sits away from the others:
Yerix: *reaches up and pulls down another bunch of grapes* Try these there my favorite. *tosses it to Kel*
Yerix: Sam, how about u?
Sam: no thanks
Kel: *eats them* these are delicious. Mark, would you like some?
Kel: *holds out a few*
Mark: Nah, I'm fine.
Yerix: *chews the grapes thoughtfully* ok Sam. Kel, how far away is this person?
Kel: Well, I have a portal tie to the town she's in
Kel: Roiga Thiloi
Sam: ok so it's a she
Kel: yeah
Yerix: *stands up and finishes her grapes*
Kel: Flinarlya
Yerix: Well, shall we go then?
Kel: Sure
Kel: *walks through the white portal*
Mark: :Stands and puts the food away:
Mark: :Walks through it:
Yerix: *flies through the portal*
Sam: *follows*
Yerix: *they land in...*
Kel: *walks out to the center of town*
Yerix: *or at*
Yerix: *looks around the town nervously*
Yerix: *murmurs a chant and her wings vanish in thin air*
Kel: She's this way. *points down the road*
Yerix: *looks more comfortable now* ok then.
Mark: :Follows, almost bored. He looks at all the people, a few of which are staring at him: . Damn weirdos..
Yerix: *starts down the road*
Kel: *looks where Yerix is looking* Uh oh
Yerix: *stops* what?
Kel: *a fire burns in this half of town, and is creeping towards them*
Yerix: Oh my gosh!
Yerix: *she jumps back to join the others* what do we do?
Mark: :Nudges Kel: You're the magic one, put it out..
Kel: Run!
Kel: Oh yeah
Kel: *calls up a shower of water and ice* Crusith Mitidth
Kel: *the ring flashes brightly, and the water flies away on the wind*
Kel: I don't know what happened...
Yerix: try it again.
Kel: *looks at the ring curiously, and tries to pull it off*
Kel: Okay
Kel: Crusith Mitidth
Kel: *the ring flashes again, and flowers fall into the fires*
Kel: *tries to pull the ring off again* its not coming off!
Yerix: *looks at the ring* what is it?
Kel: I don't know...
Kel: *looks carefully at it*
Sam: *is somewhere.*
Kel: *tiny words are carved into the diamonds* Well, we can read this later. For now, let's get out of here!
Kel: Roiga Thiloi
Kel: *a new portal opens, which Kel runs through quickly*
Yerix: *follows Kel quickly*
Yerix: What about the people?
Yerix: and the town?
Sam: *follows then*
Yerix: and your friend?
Kel: They're coming, I believe
Kel: *looks through the portal to the other side, and only half of the townspeople come through*
Kel: Excuse me, sir, what happened?
Mark: *Mark comes through the portal but the ax tugs him to another destination for another quest*
Kel: Sir: A fire started, in the middle of the night. Many died.
Yerix: *whispers to Kel* is your friend here?
Kel: No
Kel: *she looks sad*
Yerix: *looks at the ring* quickly! if we can figure out how to get it off, we might be able to go back and save the rest!
Sam: can u people read this...it may help
Kel: *pulls it off with all of her strength*
Kel: *didn't work*
Kel: *holds out her ring* Can anyone read the inscription?
Sam: *sigh*
Yerix: *looks at the ring and a tear falls from her eyes*
Yerix: Its Fay.
Kel: What does it say? I'm sorry if it hurts you to say, but I need it off to help people!
Yerix : *she looks closely at the ring*
Yerix: "If things are not meant to be, then do not try to change them."
Kel: *looks shocked, then whispers* No. It's not fair!
Sam: um...now if we read that sooner
Yerix: *looks at Kel* Perhaps we were meant to keep the items.
Yerix: Perhaps they have uses for us.
Kel: Perhaps
Yerix: *the ring suddenly vanishes in a burst of light and they ride off to find other adventures*
