RageofNocturne: dont hold her like that...hold your arm out and she will land on it or she could on your shoulder. --he said and smirked-D-
SwordOfAtrophy: He probably would have done something silly when he was eyeballed, but he was too tired to do more than swiff his arm around in a half hearted wave. Hana came over, to give him a drink, then feel his forehead to make sure he wasn't
Allegro Luna: "Gya! Sorry!" she started to blush and very quickly releases law bird, loorking apologetic! she held out her left arm very slowly with a smile."Let's try that again!" smiling to her daddy excitedly and speaking."H..h.hi daddy..."[d]
SwordOfAtrophy: sick. Satisfied that he wasn't ill, she just a pat him on the head and went back to her duties.
RageofNocturne: :: He smirked as Sheerow landed on the ground then jumped and flapped landing on a table then smelled the girl and reached a large talon out and gripped the girls arm then stepped over with the next one and closed her wings to stay
RageofNocturne: a while on the girls arm now.-- Hi Luvina. What are you doing out and about? Did you let Angelica know you would be?-D-
RageofNocturne: ok brb now)
Allegro Luna: She Was very happy to play with the animal and made sure to stay steady. Walking over to her father to answer his question."N..no.. I was finally able to to walk out the front door... so I came looking for you daddy" smiling softly
Allegro Luna: and sitting down on the edge of a table, kicking her feet.[d]
Tesarik One: (I'll be able to rp shortly)
Allegro Luna: ][ok]
SwordOfAtrophy: Ellis had fallen asleep on the table. Not so much fallen asleep as passed out. Though he was muttering in his unconciousness. The tricky part? He was muttering in Infernal.
Allegro Luna: [now,dinner]
Tesarik One: (back)
SwordOfAtrophy: (wb)
Tesarik One: (ty)
Tesarik One: The portal built into the wall in one side of the inne glowed briefly, and then opened. The long table and rough hewn interior of the hall in Alzorc was seen for a moment, before a woman stepped in front of it and then stepped right
Tesarik One: through. The sigils along the portal arch ceased to glow and the wall appeared again. Dressed for warm weather, she wore a fur edged cloak that just hit the ground around her, and a scarlet and green thick but well made dress
Tesarik One: beneath it. Her chocolate brown hair was held in place by a circlet of leather and bronze. She held a small book in her hands. She paused after walking through, and glanced around with a soft blink of long lashes. "Maria?"
Tesarik One: She paused, and then glanced around, "Viola?" Her voice soft, and very much accented such as a Zorcan might speak common.
SwordOfAtrophy: "Dr'evech ich ittar..." He was muttering over and over, in infernal, in a voice that seemed a bit too deep to be his own. But as the Lady mentioned Viola's name, that seemed enough to wake him from his un-intended nap. He picked his
RageofNocturne: :: He smirked to Luvina and chuckled-- Well thats good your legs are getting stronger. --he said as he watched her while Sheerow stayed on her arm. Cyrus then turned his head to the new arrival and lifted a brow-- Evening.-D-
SwordOfAtrophy: head up off the table, and held it as though a headache was coming. "Who in the hell is... making all that noise?" Then he realized the Inne was rather quiet, and it was inside his own head. "Oh.. nevermind then."
Tesarik One: Despite knowing a good 13 or 14 languages, as it helped her in her time travels, she did not know Infernal so she had no idea what was being said, but she knew enough to realize it was a bit...off. Especially since she'd met Ellis
Tesarik One: at least once before. She approached him since it seemed Maria, nor Viola were there tonight. "... Ellis, correct? Friend of Viola's?" She clasped the journal to her chest and tilted her head, staring at him. "You were talking in
Tesarik One: your sleep, I could not make out the tongue, but it was not of your own voice." She paused, and then reminded him of who she was, "Lady Magritt. Viola gave me a journal to use my chronomancy to return it to a previous version so it
Tesarik One: could be read. Unfortunately it is in Bryonish so I could not read it."
SwordOfAtrophy: "Yea.. that's me... " He was rubbing his temples with his palms, trying to force both the headache and the seeming random noise to go away. Finally he could force his eyes open to look up at her, with a smile. "Ah, pleasure to see
SwordOfAtrophy: my Lady." Then he realized the import of what she said, and he shrugged, scratching the back of his head. One more thing he didn't understand. "Ah don't worry about that. I'll be alright. That's ok, Vi can read it, once it's
SwordOfAtrophy: legible. Thanks for your assistance."
Tesarik One: "Evening," she said softly to the man that greeted her. She was friendly enough, not prone to calling anyone 'svek' or that sort of thing unless they earned it, but this was not her people or her home so she was a bit withdrawn. She
Tesarik One: turned back to Ellis, and held the journal out ot him. Instead of it being rotted and basically a pile of leather and paper it was a leather journal with a leather strap with worn, but easily readable pages. (Used Stitch in Time for
Tesarik One: the journal). "You are welcome. Please tell Viola I will contact her about the instrument she said she'd make for me in exchange for helping her." She tugged her cloak off and put it across the back of a chair, and took a seat at
Tesarik One: the bar, now speaking to Hana. "Summerwine please." She smiled, speaking softly, "We don't get a lot of elven wines in Alzorc. At least not the delicate ones."
RageofNocturne: :: He nodded to th woman and seeing as how Ellis was helping her out he looked to Sheerow and Luvina then ordered a bowl of venison stew-D-
Tesarik One: By the way, Maria has been gone since last evening and has not returned from Zyon!
SwordOfAtrophy: He took the book from her, and bowed his head respectfully. "Will do, Lady Magritt. If ever I can be of service, please let me know." Ellis may be a silly kid, but he respected his elders and nobles who deserved it. He'd slip the
SwordOfAtrophy: journal into his little travel bag, and deliver it to Viola personally later, when his feet felt up to walking more. He took a drink from the mug, and stared at it a long moment. Muttering in his sleep, sure, but in another
SwordOfAtrophy: certainly Magritt would have recognized Doxenian.. the only foreign language he knew.. so what gives..? The questions kept piling up.
Tesarik One: For but a moment, Magritt seemed to turn to a stone statue. She still looked human of course, but she became so still that he would not even see or hear her breathing. While she waited for her wine, it was as if she froze solid
Tesarik One: there beside him (Magic Quirk: Stillness) but when the wine was pushed in front of her, she reached out and it seemed as if nothing had happened. When one traveled the strings of time, it did seem that little quirks beset the person
Tesarik One: as with any magic, just sometimes quite odd ones for a chronomancer. She took a sip, and glanced around again, nodding at the fiery girl before glancing back to Ellis. "I am surprised that Maria is not here, unless she is merely in
Tesarik One: the kitchen."
SwordOfAtrophy: "As far as I can tell, she left for Zyon last night. I'd assume she'd be back by now." He hadn't been at the Inne at all during the day, instead just wandering Navahla after leaving Viola's. "Hope nothing bad happened."
Tesarik One: "Nor I. Though, Maria can take care of herself quite well. I met her once, but it was centuries ago. She was a dwarven knight named Marthona." Magritt was human, but one of the perks of being able to use chronomancy was time travel.
Tesarik One: "She still had red hair," she laughed softly.
Tesarik One: (brb)
SwordOfAtrophy: "Oh you people and your silly long lives.." He assumed Magritt to be some kind of immortal as well, as the intricate concept of magic was beyond him. "Still, it isn't like her to just up and go for days at a time. At least not from
SwordOfAtrophy: my experience."
Tesarik One: "
Tesarik One: "Would you like me to try and scry where she is?" She shook her head a bit and laughed, "I'm human, my life will be short, shorter than a human from here no doubt. Alzorc is harsh. But, I am a time mage, and have traveled to various
Tesarik One: times and places a few times. I'm still trying to learn how to do it without getting myself lost."
SwordOfAtrophy: "I'd say let's race to see which is shorter, but.. that just sounds way too morbid." He laughed a bit, lord he was becoming rather depressive lately. He took a deep breath, and then let it go, thinking a long moment.
SwordOfAtrophy: "To be honest, I would like you too. But I'm just a simple little adventurer, so it's not really my call. I'm certain if she was in need of aid, we'd know."
Tesarik One: "If she is in trouble, then I am sure she would want her adventurers to know." She asked Hana for something she knew Maria had touched recently, and a bowl of clean water. When that was brought to her, along with Maria's expensive
Tesarik One: whiskey bottle, she poured a drip from the whiskey into the water and gave it a little swirl as she stared into it. Her eyes seemed to unfocus for a moment, and she spoke softly in Zorcan as her finger swirled the water and then
Tesarik One: both Ellis and Magritt would see a scene forming in the water... blurred at first.
SwordOfAtrophy: "I knew there was something I liked about you.." He leaned over to look, not too much as to be in the way. Hopefully his keen eye for detail would be of some help. "Please show me something good, water..."
Tesarik One: First, he'd see a dire wolf... he should recognize it as he'd let it get away. Then Maria came into view, very much well and alive, walking along a very rocky sloped path. Behind her, trailed a young girl. Probably about 8 or 9. She
Tesarik One: was a bit large for her age though so they migth think she was older. She had wee tusks, and elven ears, blonde hair, hazel eyes ....looked a hell of a lot like Ingrud the half-orc they'd killed.
SwordOfAtrophy: "Oh son of a...." He exhaled a sigh. While he wasn't happy to have needed to do what they'd done, he was even less so now.
SwordOfAtrophy: (brb)
Tesarik One: "What...what is it? She looks well enough to me. Helping a girl... are those tusks? An orc child?" She frowned, she didn't really like orcs all that much. Pains in the asses always trying to come cause trouble down from the
Tesarik One: Knockskulls. "Pretty wolf though." She frowned, as much as she wanted a nice animal companion she just wasn't able to ever get one to stay more than a day. Even as a child, all her pets ran away from home!
RageofNocturne: :: He snapped his head up and blinked and stepped over to the pair as they watched the water and lifted a brow-- What wolf? --he asked and lifted a brow to them-D-
Tesarik One: "Big wolf, dire wolf as far as I can tell." they were looking into water after all, it wasn't crystal clear. "Maria's with a dire wolf and an orc child. Half-orc maybe... she isn't quite as ugly as a full orc."
RageofNocturne: :: He lifted a brow-- Interesting. Maybe i could go see what about. --he said lifted a brow-- I can shadowwalk.-D-
Tesarik One: "I can see her but I'm not quite able to pinpoint where she is. In the mountains...somewhere in Zyon. Pretty sure it's the range nearer to Madder than the coast. But that is a huge area. She doesn't seem at odds to me, perhaps she's
Tesarik One: just helping the kid out?"
Allegro Luna: [thank you]
Allegro Luna: she was relatively quiet because she was actually a very shy lady and still dealing with something terrible. She walked up behind Cyrus with her flaming tail wagging wildly. fiery ears slightly raised. proceeding to suddenly bi
Allegro Luna: te Cyrus's ear.[d]
RageofNocturne: :: He turned his head and looked to her and blinked-- Hey what are you doing there Luvina. --he chuckled as Sheerow jumped and flew over to the table and landed once again there-- D-
Tesarik One: "Do you not fear she will...catch the table on fire, or the chairs, or the whole building?" She would not allow a flaming creature inside the Hall, as it was all made of wood, moreso than this place. it would go up in flames quite
Tesarik One: easily.
Allegro Luna: "nothing ..."she actually started to laugh out loud and carefully stands up straight. Reaching out to delicately pet the bird. Her flaming parts soon to be very vibrant with flames. " I don't think you are in danger?"[d]
RageofNocturne: :: He looked to Luvina-- She has not set my home of wood and stone aflame in the past so no i donot fear it occuring.-D-
Allegro Luna: she very politely bowed and she seemed to be shaking for no real reason that was apparent .[d]
Tesarik One: "Danger? I am of course not in danger. I may look like a mild mannered woman but I am Zorcan, and I have learned to defend and fight with the best of them. I was more worried about the chairs and tables. Maria does not seem the sort
SwordOfAtrophy: "I know where that is... It's by.. Swerdesmere? Swer.. something. The little girl looks like the offspring of some orcs that attacked us. The wolf was there pet." He slumped onto the bar heavily, head in his hand.
Tesarik One: of lady that would be fine with her inne going up in flames." She turned and listened to Ellis, nodding. "I see."
Allegro Luna: beginning to feel uncomfortable, even though she was 18, she kind of hugged Cyrus as tightly as possible and Softly whispered." have a good night"
Allegro Luna: [d]
SwordOfAtrophy: "I see what she meant by a complication." He sighed heavily, more problems heaped on top of him. "Tell me this job gets easier., lie to me if you have to."
Tesarik One: "It does not get easier, but you become more skilled in dealing with the ...after effects. Of that I can promise you. Though when nothing effects you at all anymore, then it is time to find a wife, retire, and have many children."
Tesarik One: She nodded, and sipped her wine.
OnlineHost: Tales0fBeauty has entered the room.
Tesarik One: affects*
SwordOfAtrophy: "Fan... freakin.. tastic.." He slumped his head down on the bar with an audible thud. At his age, retirement seemed like aeons away. "Am I too young to say I'm too old for this?
RageofNocturne: :: He keot his eyes on Luvina then looked to the other-- Well she is my daughter adopted or not she is mine and im not making her stay outside. --he said then looked to Ellis-- Indeed you are. Far too young my friend. --he said and
RageofNocturne: smirked- The work is hard but to see the good that comes from what you do makes it worth it. The lives you change for the better.
RageofNocturne: Yes there will be times you have to thrust your hands into the mud and get yourself dirty. And others may think ill of you for it. But it is for the betterment of others not ourselfs which makes it worth it in the end.-D-
Tales0fBeauty: The arch angel would make her way to the inn appearing inside it in a swirl of shadows, those pure white wings were stretched out ever so slightly then folded back on her back and given a soft ruffle, as the shadows dissipated from
SwordOfAtrophy: "Look at that little half orc girl and tell me how her life is any better. If you can do that, you're a better man than I." Hell he probably was in most peoples eyes anyway. Maybe that's why he wasn't sleeping. Guilt.
Tesarik One: "Most adventurers retire in their 30's, depending on their race of course. Many make enough gold and hoard enough treasure to retire before they are even 30. After all, adventurers are probably one of the highest paid people in
Tesarik One: Arith. Even at times rivaling nobles and royals in some kingdoms." She looked down at the water, the scene was already fading but they could make out the half-orc girl plodding along after Maria.
RageofNocturne: :: I was not at this mission of yours in which you faced her possible parents Ellis. But if you had to put them down then I am sure they gave you a reason to do so. Now yes the girl is an orphan. But unfortunately her parents made t
Tales0fBeauty: room seeing who all was there as she made her way over to luvina and scooped her up in her arms and gave a sweet kiss on her cheek and forehead and
RageofNocturne: he choice im assuming to attack you all first for I know you are no murderer Ellis. You had to make a choice your life or theirs. If you didn't make the call it would be your cold dead body laying in the dirt. -D-
Tales0fBeauty: other cheek and then nuzzled softly into her "how are you doing my darling?" came the soft spoken words from the arch angel. (D)
Tesarik One: "It is still heartbreaking..." She picked up her wine glass and swirled it a bit. Even for an orc, which she had no love, it was still heartbreaking to lose your parents. To be left without any family, only the family wolf.
Allegro Luna: she started walking out with a soft sigh and politely smiled to omebody she considers to be her mother, at least until she was the lifted into the air. there is a very mild growling as flames intensified."it's terrible to have
Allegro Luna: no family"[d]
Tesarik One: "He is right. The parents did make the decision if they attacked, and you protected your own life. But never forget, even the worst of enemies has a life - perhaps someone they love, children, servants, a home, animals. Never think
Tesarik One: that an enemy is simply a non-entity. There is always grief, and some suffer for the sins of others."
RageofNocturne: :: He nodded as the other spoke-- Indeed. --he said and looked to Angelica-- Take me for example. I had no family. Lost them to wars and curses. I lived long enough where i came from to go from being a loyal selfless knight to being
Tesarik One: (You all realize that if Luvina is actually on fire, that unless you are immune to fire it's going to burn you LOL)
RageofNocturne: called the emperors dog and having no thoughts of my own because I had to make the toughest of choices in wartimes. I was considered an animal and was indeed treated as one for a very long time to the point it drove me away from soc
Tesarik One: (I'm not going to be a bitch and make you roll damage but you need to be logical about that)
Allegro Luna: [it's just her ears and her tail :-)]
Tesarik One: (ok)
RageofNocturne: iety. And i stayed there only coming out when i was called on to deal with more issues that only one I could make the call on solving. To sacrifice for the betterment of the lands. For the safety of my daughter i gave everything i h
RageofNocturne: ad. I went from being a shining knight to being called the emperors dog and being treated as so. That is the type of sacrifice we give to be called heroes. But to see the happy faces of families and children for what you suffer makes
RageofNocturne: it worth it Ellis. And i am proof that no matter how lost you become...someone will come along to help pull you from the mucky muck . --he said and smiled looking to Angelica-- I was so lucky after hundreds of years of suffering as
SwordOfAtrophy: Of course they were all right, in many ways, but that didn't help him feel any less guilty. "No such things as heroes... just survivors, as my dad used to say. Everyone is righteous to some, and evil to others."
RageofNocturne: you are now. Trust me my friend. Your other half will come and pull you from the muck. Just endure and find the things to make you smile.-D-
Tesarik One: "And every good person has a trace of evil in them somewhere, and every evil person has a trace of good in them. Sometimes things are far more gray, than black and white." She nodded, and stared into her wine. She thought of the man
Tesarik One: she'd met on her travels back in time that she'd fallen in love with, but it was not to be it seemed. She shrugged to herself at that thought, and sipped her wine. "Or your friends will."
SwordOfAtrophy: "I'm just gonna be blue... or purple.. or maybe teal.. just to switch things up." At this point, he didn't much a clue what he was actually talking about, staring into the wood grain of the bar, allowed his eyes to unfocus because
SwordOfAtrophy: his head hurt when he tried to look at things.
Tesarik One: "Teal is a pretty color, it would suit you I think." She smiled, and then stood up and stepped closer to Ellis. "May I kiss you?" She waited, and then clarified, "On the forehead, I mean."
SwordOfAtrophy: "..uhh Sure, if you like. I could use some good news." Though he was probably being unintentionally disrespectful, as he had yet to read up on Alzorc to know what a gesture like that would actually mean. Though she was a lady, so
SwordOfAtrophy: he'd refrain from making an innuendo.
Tesarik One: She leaned down and pressed her soft lips upon his forehead. At first, it just felt like a sweet kiss, but it was a magical kiss! (Though up to the player how they interpret it, will send via IM). The Kiss of Peace, something she
Tesarik One: used every now and again upon those she felt deserved or needed it. Her lips were warm, and the warmth would seem to spread throughout his body. The warmth of a cozy fire, and being in the arms of someone that cared for you. Peace.
Tesarik One: Stress-free. It didn't last forever, but it was a nice break sometimes from the stress of life. When she pulled her lips away,the warmth would lessen a bit but the effects would not. She sat down again and sipped her wine, she was
Tesarik One: nearly done. "You seemed like you needed that," she said softly.
SwordOfAtrophy: He exhaled a sigh, this one rather content. His headache went away, whether on it's own or by the force of her magic he didn't know, either way it was a welcome relief. "I did... thank you.." He murmured against the bar as her
SwordOfAtrophy: remarkable magic did it's thing. Words couldn't express how wonderful it felt to just be tension free, after the last couple days he'd had.
Tesarik One: She sat her wine back down and clasped her hands before her, growing still again for a moment, then she turned and stared at him just as peaceful as she had been before, and spoke, "Something within your mind, soul or body did not
Tesarik One: appreciate the kiss of peace I just gave you. It was barely perceptable but... there is something. I don't know what, but something, and you should find someone to see if you are cursed, or being ridden by a ghost, poisoned in
Tesarik One: some odd way, or even possessed by some entity. The feeling will last... about an hour. I'm sorry it does not last longer."
Tales0fBeauty: She would see him looking to her and she would smile to him and she moved over and would give him a kiss softly on the lips then looked to ellis and gave him a wink "who knows what guardian angels you may have watching over you..."
Tales0fBeauty: she would run her fingers softly through luvina fur and moved to sit where cyrus was sitting. (D)
SwordOfAtrophy: "Don't be. You've done... more than enough." So, an hour. He debated on if he should use this time to find what he needed, or enjoy it while it lasted and start once the feeling faded. He decided on the latter. "You may.. have just
Allegro Luna: brb[
SwordOfAtrophy: solved all my problems with one simple gesture. And they say the power of the kiss is a myth." He laughed against the bar, probably too hard for the humor of what he said, but right now he was feeling too good to care.
RageofNocturne: :: He smiled and kissed his wife in return and watched her then smiled aand sat back down near her and looked over to Ellis then back to Angelica-- How are the children all asleep?-D-
SwordOfAtrophy: "And yes, I know one who watches over me constantly." He would have returned that wink if his head would move.
Tales0fBeauty: She would look to Ellis once more and her eyes sparkled with amuesment at his words, then she would look back to cyrus and she would smile that soft angelic smile to him "They are sleeping like the little angels they are my love." a
Tales0fBeauty: slight ruffle of her wings given and she would continue to run fingers soflty through luvinas fur. (D)
OnlineHost: Fatal Varlet has entered the room.
RageofNocturne: brb)
Tesarik One: She finished her wine, and slid the glass across, and paid for it since she was not really a full time employee of Obsidian Heart, more like a contract worker. Then she rose and picked up her cloak and put it back on, and gave a
Tesarik One: slight bow to them all, "I must be on my way. Good eve." She turned and headed for the portal arch against the wall, and touched the correct sequence for the portal to the Saguenay Hall to open, then stepped through.
SwordOfAtrophy: "Stay safe, Lady Magritt."

Tesarik One: turned back to Ellis, and held the journal out ot him. Instead of it being rotted and basically a pile of leather and paper it was a leather journal with a leather strap with worn, but easily readable pages. (Used Stitch in Time for
Tesarik One: the journal). "You are welcome. Please tell Viola I will contact her about the instrument she said she'd make for me in exchange for helping her." She tugged her cloak off and put it across the back of a chair, and took a seat at
Tesarik One: the bar, now speaking to Hana. "Summerwine please." She smiled, speaking softly, "We don't get a lot of elven wines in Alzorc. At least not the delicate ones."
RageofNocturne: :: He nodded to th woman and seeing as how Ellis was helping her out he looked to Sheerow and Luvina then ordered a bowl of venison stew-D-
Tesarik One: By the way, Maria has been gone since last evening and has not returned from Zyon!
SwordOfAtrophy: He took the book from her, and bowed his head respectfully. "Will do, Lady Magritt. If ever I can be of service, please let me know." Ellis may be a silly kid, but he respected his elders and nobles who deserved it. He'd slip the
SwordOfAtrophy: journal into his little travel bag, and deliver it to Viola personally later, when his feet felt up to walking more. He took a drink from the mug, and stared at it a long moment. Muttering in his sleep, sure, but in another
SwordOfAtrophy: certainly Magritt would have recognized Doxenian.. the only foreign language he knew.. so what gives..? The questions kept piling up.
Tesarik One: For but a moment, Magritt seemed to turn to a stone statue. She still looked human of course, but she became so still that he would not even see or hear her breathing. While she waited for her wine, it was as if she froze solid
Tesarik One: there beside him (Magic Quirk: Stillness) but when the wine was pushed in front of her, she reached out and it seemed as if nothing had happened. When one traveled the strings of time, it did seem that little quirks beset the person
Tesarik One: as with any magic, just sometimes quite odd ones for a chronomancer. She took a sip, and glanced around again, nodding at the fiery girl before glancing back to Ellis. "I am surprised that Maria is not here, unless she is merely in
Tesarik One: the kitchen."
SwordOfAtrophy: "As far as I can tell, she left for Zyon last night. I'd assume she'd be back by now." He hadn't been at the Inne at all during the day, instead just wandering Navahla after leaving Viola's. "Hope nothing bad happened."
Tesarik One: "Nor I. Though, Maria can take care of herself quite well. I met her once, but it was centuries ago. She was a dwarven knight named Marthona." Magritt was human, but one of the perks of being able to use chronomancy was time travel.
Tesarik One: "She still had red hair," she laughed softly.
Tesarik One: (brb)
SwordOfAtrophy: "Oh you people and your silly long lives.." He assumed Magritt to be some kind of immortal as well, as the intricate concept of magic was beyond him. "Still, it isn't like her to just up and go for days at a time. At least not from
SwordOfAtrophy: my experience."
Tesarik One: "
Tesarik One: "Would you like me to try and scry where she is?" She shook her head a bit and laughed, "I'm human, my life will be short, shorter than a human from here no doubt. Alzorc is harsh. But, I am a time mage, and have traveled to various
Tesarik One: times and places a few times. I'm still trying to learn how to do it without getting myself lost."
SwordOfAtrophy: "I'd say let's race to see which is shorter, but.. that just sounds way too morbid." He laughed a bit, lord he was becoming rather depressive lately. He took a deep breath, and then let it go, thinking a long moment.
SwordOfAtrophy: "To be honest, I would like you too. But I'm just a simple little adventurer, so it's not really my call. I'm certain if she was in need of aid, we'd know."
Tesarik One: "If she is in trouble, then I am sure she would want her adventurers to know." She asked Hana for something she knew Maria had touched recently, and a bowl of clean water. When that was brought to her, along with Maria's expensive
Tesarik One: whiskey bottle, she poured a drip from the whiskey into the water and gave it a little swirl as she stared into it. Her eyes seemed to unfocus for a moment, and she spoke softly in Zorcan as her finger swirled the water and then
Tesarik One: both Ellis and Magritt would see a scene forming in the water... blurred at first.
SwordOfAtrophy: "I knew there was something I liked about you.." He leaned over to look, not too much as to be in the way. Hopefully his keen eye for detail would be of some help. "Please show me something good, water..."
Tesarik One: First, he'd see a dire wolf... he should recognize it as he'd let it get away. Then Maria came into view, very much well and alive, walking along a very rocky sloped path. Behind her, trailed a young girl. Probably about 8 or 9. She
Tesarik One: was a bit large for her age though so they migth think she was older. She had wee tusks, and elven ears, blonde hair, hazel eyes ....looked a hell of a lot like Ingrud the half-orc they'd killed.
SwordOfAtrophy: "Oh son of a...." He exhaled a sigh. While he wasn't happy to have needed to do what they'd done, he was even less so now.
SwordOfAtrophy: (brb)
Tesarik One: "What...what is it? She looks well enough to me. Helping a girl... are those tusks? An orc child?" She frowned, she didn't really like orcs all that much. Pains in the asses always trying to come cause trouble down from the
Tesarik One: Knockskulls. "Pretty wolf though." She frowned, as much as she wanted a nice animal companion she just wasn't able to ever get one to stay more than a day. Even as a child, all her pets ran away from home!
RageofNocturne: :: He snapped his head up and blinked and stepped over to the pair as they watched the water and lifted a brow-- What wolf? --he asked and lifted a brow to them-D-
Tesarik One: "Big wolf, dire wolf as far as I can tell." they were looking into water after all, it wasn't crystal clear. "Maria's with a dire wolf and an orc child. Half-orc maybe... she isn't quite as ugly as a full orc."
RageofNocturne: :: He lifted a brow-- Interesting. Maybe i could go see what about. --he said lifted a brow-- I can shadowwalk.-D-
Tesarik One: "I can see her but I'm not quite able to pinpoint where she is. In the mountains...somewhere in Zyon. Pretty sure it's the range nearer to Madder than the coast. But that is a huge area. She doesn't seem at odds to me, perhaps she's
Tesarik One: just helping the kid out?"
Allegro Luna: [thank you]
Allegro Luna: she was relatively quiet because she was actually a very shy lady and still dealing with something terrible. She walked up behind Cyrus with her flaming tail wagging wildly. fiery ears slightly raised. proceeding to suddenly bi
Allegro Luna: te Cyrus's ear.[d]
RageofNocturne: :: He turned his head and looked to her and blinked-- Hey what are you doing there Luvina. --he chuckled as Sheerow jumped and flew over to the table and landed once again there-- D-
Tesarik One: "Do you not fear she will...catch the table on fire, or the chairs, or the whole building?" She would not allow a flaming creature inside the Hall, as it was all made of wood, moreso than this place. it would go up in flames quite
Tesarik One: easily.
Allegro Luna: "nothing ..."she actually started to laugh out loud and carefully stands up straight. Reaching out to delicately pet the bird. Her flaming parts soon to be very vibrant with flames. " I don't think you are in danger?"[d]
RageofNocturne: :: He looked to Luvina-- She has not set my home of wood and stone aflame in the past so no i donot fear it occuring.-D-
Allegro Luna: she very politely bowed and she seemed to be shaking for no real reason that was apparent .[d]
Tesarik One: "Danger? I am of course not in danger. I may look like a mild mannered woman but I am Zorcan, and I have learned to defend and fight with the best of them. I was more worried about the chairs and tables. Maria does not seem the sort
SwordOfAtrophy: "I know where that is... It's by.. Swerdesmere? Swer.. something. The little girl looks like the offspring of some orcs that attacked us. The wolf was there pet." He slumped onto the bar heavily, head in his hand.
Tesarik One: of lady that would be fine with her inne going up in flames." She turned and listened to Ellis, nodding. "I see."
Allegro Luna: beginning to feel uncomfortable, even though she was 18, she kind of hugged Cyrus as tightly as possible and Softly whispered." have a good night"
Allegro Luna: [d]
SwordOfAtrophy: "I see what she meant by a complication." He sighed heavily, more problems heaped on top of him. "Tell me this job gets easier., lie to me if you have to."
Tesarik One: "It does not get easier, but you become more skilled in dealing with the ...after effects. Of that I can promise you. Though when nothing effects you at all anymore, then it is time to find a wife, retire, and have many children."
Tesarik One: She nodded, and sipped her wine.
OnlineHost: Tales0fBeauty has entered the room.
Tesarik One: affects*
SwordOfAtrophy: "Fan... freakin.. tastic.." He slumped his head down on the bar with an audible thud. At his age, retirement seemed like aeons away. "Am I too young to say I'm too old for this?
RageofNocturne: :: He keot his eyes on Luvina then looked to the other-- Well she is my daughter adopted or not she is mine and im not making her stay outside. --he said then looked to Ellis-- Indeed you are. Far too young my friend. --he said and
RageofNocturne: smirked- The work is hard but to see the good that comes from what you do makes it worth it. The lives you change for the better.
RageofNocturne: Yes there will be times you have to thrust your hands into the mud and get yourself dirty. And others may think ill of you for it. But it is for the betterment of others not ourselfs which makes it worth it in the end.-D-
Tales0fBeauty: The arch angel would make her way to the inn appearing inside it in a swirl of shadows, those pure white wings were stretched out ever so slightly then folded back on her back and given a soft ruffle, as the shadows dissipated from
SwordOfAtrophy: "Look at that little half orc girl and tell me how her life is any better. If you can do that, you're a better man than I." Hell he probably was in most peoples eyes anyway. Maybe that's why he wasn't sleeping. Guilt.
Tesarik One: "Most adventurers retire in their 30's, depending on their race of course. Many make enough gold and hoard enough treasure to retire before they are even 30. After all, adventurers are probably one of the highest paid people in
Tesarik One: Arith. Even at times rivaling nobles and royals in some kingdoms." She looked down at the water, the scene was already fading but they could make out the half-orc girl plodding along after Maria.
RageofNocturne: :: I was not at this mission of yours in which you faced her possible parents Ellis. But if you had to put them down then I am sure they gave you a reason to do so. Now yes the girl is an orphan. But unfortunately her parents made t
Tales0fBeauty: room seeing who all was there as she made her way over to luvina and scooped her up in her arms and gave a sweet kiss on her cheek and forehead and
RageofNocturne: he choice im assuming to attack you all first for I know you are no murderer Ellis. You had to make a choice your life or theirs. If you didn't make the call it would be your cold dead body laying in the dirt. -D-
Tales0fBeauty: other cheek and then nuzzled softly into her "how are you doing my darling?" came the soft spoken words from the arch angel. (D)
Tesarik One: "It is still heartbreaking..." She picked up her wine glass and swirled it a bit. Even for an orc, which she had no love, it was still heartbreaking to lose your parents. To be left without any family, only the family wolf.
Allegro Luna: she started walking out with a soft sigh and politely smiled to omebody she considers to be her mother, at least until she was the lifted into the air. there is a very mild growling as flames intensified."it's terrible to have
Allegro Luna: no family"[d]
Tesarik One: "He is right. The parents did make the decision if they attacked, and you protected your own life. But never forget, even the worst of enemies has a life - perhaps someone they love, children, servants, a home, animals. Never think
Tesarik One: that an enemy is simply a non-entity. There is always grief, and some suffer for the sins of others."
RageofNocturne: :: He nodded as the other spoke-- Indeed. --he said and looked to Angelica-- Take me for example. I had no family. Lost them to wars and curses. I lived long enough where i came from to go from being a loyal selfless knight to being
Tesarik One: (You all realize that if Luvina is actually on fire, that unless you are immune to fire it's going to burn you LOL)
RageofNocturne: called the emperors dog and having no thoughts of my own because I had to make the toughest of choices in wartimes. I was considered an animal and was indeed treated as one for a very long time to the point it drove me away from soc
Tesarik One: (I'm not going to be a bitch and make you roll damage but you need to be logical about that)
Allegro Luna: [it's just her ears and her tail :-)]
Tesarik One: (ok)
RageofNocturne: iety. And i stayed there only coming out when i was called on to deal with more issues that only one I could make the call on solving. To sacrifice for the betterment of the lands. For the safety of my daughter i gave everything i h
RageofNocturne: ad. I went from being a shining knight to being called the emperors dog and being treated as so. That is the type of sacrifice we give to be called heroes. But to see the happy faces of families and children for what you suffer makes
RageofNocturne: it worth it Ellis. And i am proof that no matter how lost you become...someone will come along to help pull you from the mucky muck . --he said and smiled looking to Angelica-- I was so lucky after hundreds of years of suffering as
SwordOfAtrophy: Of course they were all right, in many ways, but that didn't help him feel any less guilty. "No such things as heroes... just survivors, as my dad used to say. Everyone is righteous to some, and evil to others."
RageofNocturne: you are now. Trust me my friend. Your other half will come and pull you from the muck. Just endure and find the things to make you smile.-D-
Tesarik One: "And every good person has a trace of evil in them somewhere, and every evil person has a trace of good in them. Sometimes things are far more gray, than black and white." She nodded, and stared into her wine. She thought of the man
Tesarik One: she'd met on her travels back in time that she'd fallen in love with, but it was not to be it seemed. She shrugged to herself at that thought, and sipped her wine. "Or your friends will."
SwordOfAtrophy: "I'm just gonna be blue... or purple.. or maybe teal.. just to switch things up." At this point, he didn't much a clue what he was actually talking about, staring into the wood grain of the bar, allowed his eyes to unfocus because
SwordOfAtrophy: his head hurt when he tried to look at things.
Tesarik One: "Teal is a pretty color, it would suit you I think." She smiled, and then stood up and stepped closer to Ellis. "May I kiss you?" She waited, and then clarified, "On the forehead, I mean."
SwordOfAtrophy: "..uhh Sure, if you like. I could use some good news." Though he was probably being unintentionally disrespectful, as he had yet to read up on Alzorc to know what a gesture like that would actually mean. Though she was a lady, so
SwordOfAtrophy: he'd refrain from making an innuendo.
Tesarik One: She leaned down and pressed her soft lips upon his forehead. At first, it just felt like a sweet kiss, but it was a magical kiss! (Though up to the player how they interpret it, will send via IM). The Kiss of Peace, something she
Tesarik One: used every now and again upon those she felt deserved or needed it. Her lips were warm, and the warmth would seem to spread throughout his body. The warmth of a cozy fire, and being in the arms of someone that cared for you. Peace.
Tesarik One: Stress-free. It didn't last forever, but it was a nice break sometimes from the stress of life. When she pulled her lips away,the warmth would lessen a bit but the effects would not. She sat down again and sipped her wine, she was
Tesarik One: nearly done. "You seemed like you needed that," she said softly.
SwordOfAtrophy: He exhaled a sigh, this one rather content. His headache went away, whether on it's own or by the force of her magic he didn't know, either way it was a welcome relief. "I did... thank you.." He murmured against the bar as her
SwordOfAtrophy: remarkable magic did it's thing. Words couldn't express how wonderful it felt to just be tension free, after the last couple days he'd had.
Tesarik One: She sat her wine back down and clasped her hands before her, growing still again for a moment, then she turned and stared at him just as peaceful as she had been before, and spoke, "Something within your mind, soul or body did not
Tesarik One: appreciate the kiss of peace I just gave you. It was barely perceptable but... there is something. I don't know what, but something, and you should find someone to see if you are cursed, or being ridden by a ghost, poisoned in
Tesarik One: some odd way, or even possessed by some entity. The feeling will last... about an hour. I'm sorry it does not last longer."
Tales0fBeauty: She would see him looking to her and she would smile to him and she moved over and would give him a kiss softly on the lips then looked to ellis and gave him a wink "who knows what guardian angels you may have watching over you..."
Tales0fBeauty: she would run her fingers softly through luvina fur and moved to sit where cyrus was sitting. (D)
SwordOfAtrophy: "Don't be. You've done... more than enough." So, an hour. He debated on if he should use this time to find what he needed, or enjoy it while it lasted and start once the feeling faded. He decided on the latter. "You may.. have just
Allegro Luna: brb[
SwordOfAtrophy: solved all my problems with one simple gesture. And they say the power of the kiss is a myth." He laughed against the bar, probably too hard for the humor of what he said, but right now he was feeling too good to care.
RageofNocturne: :: He smiled and kissed his wife in return and watched her then smiled aand sat back down near her and looked over to Ellis then back to Angelica-- How are the children all asleep?-D-
SwordOfAtrophy: "And yes, I know one who watches over me constantly." He would have returned that wink if his head would move.
Tales0fBeauty: She would look to Ellis once more and her eyes sparkled with amuesment at his words, then she would look back to cyrus and she would smile that soft angelic smile to him "They are sleeping like the little angels they are my love." a
Tales0fBeauty: slight ruffle of her wings given and she would continue to run fingers soflty through luvinas fur. (D)
OnlineHost: Fatal Varlet has entered the room.
RageofNocturne: brb)
Tesarik One: She finished her wine, and slid the glass across, and paid for it since she was not really a full time employee of Obsidian Heart, more like a contract worker. Then she rose and picked up her cloak and put it back on, and gave a
Tesarik One: slight bow to them all, "I must be on my way. Good eve." She turned and headed for the portal arch against the wall, and touched the correct sequence for the portal to the Saguenay Hall to open, then stepped through.
SwordOfAtrophy: "Stay safe, Lady Magritt."
