Tesarik One: A primordial beast rarely seen has made itself known in a most
beautiful way, a rainbow. A rainbow appeared over Pincer Lake earlier today
for but a moment, but Maria's network of information
Tesarik One: immediately informed her that it was not a normal rainbow - a
near mythical ageless creature that has lived on Arith since primeval times
left the rainbow when it teleported. They are dichotomous nature
Tesarik One: spirits of land and sky, sun and rain, male and female, and
birth and destruction. It is rare that one appears, and so Maria is gathering
a group together immediately to send them to speak to the creature
Tesarik One: in hopes that even just one shimmering scale will be obtained.
Tesarik One: Indrila has been asked to accompany the group, because there is
a certain ritual that must be done to approach the creature in its sacred
site. If it is not done perfectly, they will violently attack.
Tesarik One: You are all commanded to RETREAT if the creature attacks, for
every one of you will die upon that island if you do not. You may very well
die while you retreat, so you will all be compensated well
Tesarik One: for this once in a lifetime mission. Maria tells you all, "If
you cannot follow these orders, if you know right now that your personality,
or utter curiosity, or whatever the hell you want to call it
Tesarik One: is going to make you be stupid and do your own thing...tonight
is not the night for you. Do you all agree?"
Tales0fBeauty: The little kitten was sitting on olans shoulder and mewed
soflty noding her head in agreement with maria's words.
SwordOfAtrophy: The disgraced Monk nodded. Following orders was something he
was pretty used to, from years at the monstery. Also, a respect for the past
and the layers upon layers of ancient history that proceeded his life, as
well as most
Tesarik One: The ghost elf stood there dressed in her diaphonous gown, with
a cloak upon her shoulders, watching those who answered the call and came to
hear of Maria's task she wished for them. When asked if she would obey the
orders, she bowed
Tesarik One: her head and nodded.
SwordOfAtrophy: others. "I imagine we can expect many others to be after the
same objective?"
Roguish Luck: Logen tugged off the rig that held the Wolfblade with yawned
buckles and straps and set it upon the top of the bar. Next to fall away was
the straps that held the Mithral Pillar, setting it next to his blade. He
then sat down upon
RageofNocturne: :: Lorcan stood beside Turlough as usual and nodded a bit--
Aye lass, where there be a rainbow there be magics and if the legends true
maybe even gold. --he said and smiled to her-- Turlough im sure will keep his
hands and all to hi
RageofNocturne: mself aswell. -D-
Roguish Luck: the stool. "You sure you want me on this one, boss?"[d]
Roran Corvinus: Roran stood there, off to himself but still close enough to
hear. He was dressed in his armor, those two katanas hung at each hip. His
blue gaze was on the one speaking and he would nod his head in affirmation.
His blue
Roran Corvinus: gaze landed on Logen for a moment as well as the others
gathered, continuing to lean against the wall with his arms crossed over his
broad chest and waiting. (d)
Tesarik One: "Yes, and bring everyone home alive, along with that scale. You
can do it." She grinned over at Logen as a brow lifted, then looked over
towards Olan with a nod, "Very good. Due to my... associations..I often find
out things before
Tesarik One: the general populace. I am hoping we will be the first to
approach the creature, and if we are not, I am hoping they do not realize
they must have a priest perform a special rite to approach." She motioned to
Indrila.
Tesarik One: "Let's not get our new recruit killed off, huh?" She waved over
towards Roran. "Ready, then?"
Tales0fBeauty: The little kitten looked to maria "how are we to talk to it
if its primordial?"
Roguish Luck: "We'll let Indrila do the talking." Smirk. Rig of the
Wolfblade was set about his waist again, strapped to hold firmly in place. [
Leaving Armor out of this one. ]
SwordOfAtrophy: He reached up and scratched the kitten under it's chin. "If
competition is not an issue, speed shall be. We follow at your pace, Lady
Indrila."
Tesarik One: "Lorcan, you'd better behave on this one. Or you'll be on my
shit list." She eyed Lorcan, and his bodyguard, and then motioned to the rest
of them, "A ship called the Sparrow waits for you at the docks." She eyed the
kitten, "You
Tesarik One: will have to figure it out, though just because it is a
primeval creature does not mean that it hasn't learned other languages over
it's immense life."
Roran Corvinus: There came a soft but deep chuckle from the new recruit as
he moved off the wall, arms unfolding as he just seemed to act as if he
wasn't to worried about dying. He rolled his shoulders slowly, not used to
wearing armor
Roran Corvinus: like this but he was sure he may need it. He continued to
stand off by himself, though he was making ready. (d)
Tales0fBeauty: She would nod to maria, that was true, she hadnt thought of
that. "Alright then, im ready." She would lean into the scrathcing under
her chin and purred softly giving olan a nuzzle before she would leap off his
shoulder and
Tesarik One: She bowed slightly towards Olan, and then reached up to tuck
her long silvery hair under the hood of her cloak as she pulled the hood
upwards. Heading for the door, a very shaggy large dog got up from the hearth
and ran behind her.
Tales0fBeauty: scampered over to logen and leapt up onto his shoulder and
gave his cheek a soft nuzzle with a purr as well.
RageofNocturne: :: Alright lass alright i be playin nice. --he said and
looked to Turlough-- If it doesnt speak like the rest of us Turlough here im
sure will beable to speak with it.-D-
Tesarik One: She turned, and in her usual whispering voice commanded
Melethril to sit, "Stay here with Maria, it is not the place for you tonight,
my dear."
Tesarik One: She headed behind the bar and sought out her expensive bottle
of whiskey, and poured a glass, "Time's a-wasting. Go forth!" She made a
large hand motion and grinned.
SwordOfAtrophy: He took up residence on the ghost elfs right, slightly
behind her, narrowing avoiding being knocked over by a large dog.
Tesarik One: Melethril looked like he sunk a little, but he soon turned and
headed back to the hearth to take a lay down again though his eyes now
watched the party as they made way out of the door and into the city of
Navahla to head to the
Tesarik One: docks. Indrila was well known in the area, and many bowed their
respect to the priestess as she passed. As a whole, even the rookies in
Maria's company were respected in town but those that had earned their
reputation were almost
Tesarik One: considered something akin to celebrities. She walked the
distance through town to reach the docks with the group, staying silent.
Roguish Luck: One hand reached up to give the kitten a scritchin before he
started his way out the door, patting Roran on the shoulder on his way out
the door. "Let's go, Alpha." Logen was following after the Ghost Elf, just
barely a step behind
Roguish Luck: the woman that seemed to glide in gait. "I assume you'll be
letting us know what's needed for the ritual or is this something you're
gonna handle all by yourself...?"[d]
Tesarik One: For time's sake, we will skip ahead and begin as you reach the
ship and board. It is a small but fast ship, that would take them further
into the large lake with ease.
Tesarik One: "I will tell you what is needed on our short voyage," she'd
have whispered to Logen.
Tesarik One: Does anyone speak or read Primordial just so I know up front?
Roguish Luck: [ Not a chance. ]
Tales0fBeauty: (nope that would be luna)
RageofNocturne: :: Lorcan and Turlough would move out after the group Lorcan
feeding seeds to his cranberry raccoon. Once at the ship ofcoarse the raccoon
made itself scarce but would manage to wander over the ship during the
voyage. Lorcan and Tur
RageofNocturne: lough moved upon the ship aswell-D-
RageofNocturne: Turlough has Animism which lets him speak with other living
creatures as though they speak the same language)) if that helps)
RageofNocturne: but Primordial itself no neither of my chars have it as a
language)
Tesarik One: "When we reach the island and find the pool, we must approach
quietly. There are certain ritual words I must say, and each will have a
white candle. You must keep your head bowed as we approach the pool. No
weapons can be drawn,
Tesarik One: you must hold the candle with both hands showing you are
without weapon. We kneel along the edge of the pool and each stir our finger
in a circle," she made a motion showing, it was pretty easy after all.
Nothing complicated. I will
Tesarik One: ask for it to appear, and if nothing goes wrong it will be
neutral to us. What happens next... well that is up to us."
Tesarik One: "I will**
Roran Corvinus: Roran took the slap to the shoulder but said nothing to
Logen as he just turned and walked along with the party to Logen's right
side. As they came to the ship, he would wait for the others to board before
he would, his
Roran Corvinus: gaze sweeping over all of them as he inhaled their scents
each time they passed. Once they were all aboard he would follow suit, still
having yet to speak. Call it his normal behavior until he warmed up to
someone. (d)
Tesarik One: If anyone has Knowledge (history), (arcana) or (monster lore)
you may roll a knowledge to see what you remember about this creature.
SwordOfAtrophy: Easy peasy, provided they didn't realize his bare hands were
weapons. "Sounds like prayer breakfast."
Tales0fBeauty: She was still on logens shoulder, she leaned into the
scritching under chin and she would purr even louder from the affections.
Those pointed black tiny ktitten ears flickering atop her head as she
listened closely to the ghost elf.
RageofNocturne: :: Lorcan would look to Indrila and nodded a bit-- Sounds
simple enough. So i take it we wont be seeing a leprechaun at the end of the
rainbow then?-D-
Tesarik One: A finger trailed along the black line upon her lower lip, as
she offered a quiet prayer to Kanesh to guide them. At Lorcan's statement,
the regal ghost elf merely looked his way and just stared for a moment, then
looked out to the
Tesarik One: water again. There was just nothing she could think of to say
to that.
Tesarik One: (Knowledge - Arcana)
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Tesarik One: [INT 13](Knowledge 10)(Witch's Cottage 5) = +28 = 36
Tesarik One: No one else can roll a Knowledge?
Tales0fBeauty: (got no bonuses but I will roll just to see what i get)
Roran Corvinus: (I could if I had chosen a certain type of knowledge but I
didn't know)
Roguish Luck: [ Got none of those. ]
Roguish Luck: [ Dungeoneering is the closest. ]
SwordOfAtrophy: (Ignorant lawl)
Tesarik One: Nah. It's fine, Indrila's is high enough but just wanted to
make sure anyone else that wanted to could.
Tales0fBeauty: (those woud be on my other characters lol)
Tesarik One: So due to Indrila's high roll, I'm just going to save time and
c&p the info, so block of text incoming.....
Tesarik One: 15 - This gargantuan creature is in the form of a snake, and
sheathed in brilliant scales. They are incredibly powerful and not something
even the most brave and strongest adventurer wishes to fight.
Tesarik One: It can move with ease despite it's size, uses radiance magic
among other types, immune to anything that would effect the mind or charm. It
has a high resistance to fire, cold, acid, electricity and is
Tesarik One: immune to light/radiance.
Tesarik One: 20 - It can petrify those that displease it. It likes to
swallow it's prey, which is then subject to a polymorph spell inside the
beast. It knows common, but it prefers to speak Sylvan, if someone
Tesarik One: can speak Primordial that would greatly impress the creature.
If it does come to battle, only a cold iron weapon will do much damage,
anything else will barely effect the creature and it cannot be
Tesarik One: killed that we know of in any way.
Tesarik One: 25 - The area around the creature's sacred pool is always full
of strange creatures that have been transformed into unique species by the
creature's polymorph. The creature is aquatic. When respected
Tesarik One: with ritual and ceremony, it has been known to even bring
protection to neighboring communities bringing rain in droughts, healing, and
even destroying rivals to the community.
Tesarik One: 30 - The creature has a primordial name...it is an andrenjinyi,
a descendent of a creature known as the Rainbow Serpent in some traditions.
Some believe that the rainbow serpent slithered around Arith
Tesarik One: creating the lands and rivers and seas. When she tired, she
birthed Arith's animals and creatures. She created the gods and goddesses and
breathed life into the first sentient creatures to walk
Tesarik One: Arith. She now sleeps in the stars and has left the andrenjinyi
to watch over her creation.
Tesarik One: So, Indrila tells you all everything she knows during the
journey.
Tesarik One: You are welcome to ask her questions before we land on the
island!
Tesarik One: She'd never talked so much in her life at one time.
SwordOfAtrophy: "So basically.. we're walking a tight rope."
Tales0fBeauty: She would look over to the ghost elf and gave a soft mew,
"will this form be ok, or should I choose another?"
Tesarik One: "Yes. But, it is a blessing for each of you to see such a
creature, for you will have seen a creature that most in centuries - ages and
ages - have never seen. A myth to many."
Tesarik One: "If you wish to speak to the andrenjinyi you should be in your
true form. If that is your true form, then you will be fine."
Roran Corvinus: Roran stood close to the group, though his back was to them
as he leaned against the railing of the ship, his blue gaze watching the
waters they passed through. He was being the tall dark and silent type
obviously. He
Roran Corvinus: knew only one person and didn't really like him to much, it
was more of a love and hate friendship. Even though he wasn't looking at
them, he was still listening to everything that was said. Always the
listener. (d)
Tales0fBeauty: She would nod to her and she leapt off logens shoulder and
she would shift to her anthro panther from, which being a natural born was
her true form as she was born the panther, not the elven counter part.
RageofNocturne: :: True form you say....well my true form is that of a
dragon....though im uncertain how the creature will react to a dragon in its
midst-D-
Tesarik One: "If that is your true form, you should take it, I doubt that a
dragon would intimidate a creature that is as large and powerful as this."
Tesarik One: She moved over towards Logen, and tilted her head, "You have
chosen to take on this mission without armor, my friend? You must have faith
that everyone will do as instructed."
RageofNocturne: :: He nodded a bit then looked to Turlough well see you
there. --he said and stepped over to the edge of the ship and began to
shapeshift and jumped off the ship shapeshifting into his golden scaled full
dragon form. He would flap t
Tesarik One: (Free RP on the ship for a few minutes, brb)
RageofNocturne: hose large wings. Afterall like most dragons in dragon form
he was a gargantuan now!-D-
Tales0fBeauty: She being the friendly cat she was would walk over to Roaran
and gave him a friendly nuzzle with a soft purr in greeting "My name is
shalia, I dont think we have met yet." said in a low gruff growl of a voice
with a neverending purr
SwordOfAtrophy: With nothing to do but wait, he simply sat cross legged on
the ship,staying centered even as it rocked gently.
Roran Corvinus: So, hearing that they should be in true form he had a hard
time deciding what the would be for him but eventually the sound of bones
dislocating and shifting beneath his flesh could be heard. White fur, long
and wavy,
Tales0fBeauty: (beastspeak/Purr) the effects of which would cause anyone
that would fall prey to her charms to feel compelled to pet her. If the purr
didnt do it, just her having extremely soft fur was enough most times as
well. Cause who didnt
Roran Corvinus: would begin to appear over his form as the once human took
on the form of his true self, that of a large muscular white furred wolf that
stood close to 10 feet in height. Though once done, his golden eyes turned
down to
Roran Corvinus: the one that nuzzled him and spoke. "Roran.." his own voice
was deep and menacing, tainted dwith a deep resounding growl of it's own. (d)
Tales0fBeauty: love cats?
Roguish Luck: Logen loved being the odd man out, human and all. When Indrila
approached him with statement and question, he offered a simple smile towards
her. "I'm fairly sure I can out run everyone here." Spoken softly in the form
of a whisper
Roguish Luck: against her ear. He stood straight once more before taking a
lean back against the railing of the port side hull.[d]
Tales0fBeauty: "A pleasure to meet you Roran" she would look over to logen
"you would really leave me behind to die?" her ears went slightly flat on her
head at his words and she slumped a bit in posture.
RageofNocturne: :: Well Logen wasnt odd man out as Turlough was afterall
just human! Turlough stepped along the deck moving his shields and latching
onto his hip to hide his sword from view then looked to the others as they
took their true forms. H
Tesarik One: btw when I said the creature was gargantuan I was using it as a
description for being really big. Gargantuan in game terms is around 30-50
feet, this creature in game terms is "colossal" if not bigger.
Roguish Luck: [...Are we gathering the dragon balls? ]
SwordOfAtrophy: (I think colossal stretches to.. infinite as far as terms
go)
Roran Corvinus: (we need 10)
RageofNocturne: e then looked to Logen and stepped over-- Evening.-D-
Roguish Luck: Brows rose as he looked over towards Shalia. Damn her Vulcan
hearing! "It was just a joke, kitten."[d]
RageofNocturne: 10 dragonballs? Im sorry i thought it was only 7 or did that
suddenly change??)
Tesarik One: Shalia, roll your d20 + CHA to get the DC to resist Purr.
OnlineHost: Tales0fBeauty rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Tales0fBeauty: +11 CHA=19
Tesarik One: She leaned in towards Logen, and a small smirk appeared for but
a moment upon her lips before she glanced towards him and then walked away to
take her spot looking out over the water again. She folded her hands
together, rubbing
Tesarik One: gently at the black tattoos upon milky pale skin she could
reach, all there to represent her goddess, Kanesh of shadows.
Tesarik One: Roran, roll a Willpower. 1d20 + your willpower trait.
OnlineHost: Roran Corvinus rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Tesarik One: If you ever don't have the trait to add, just state your roll
so I know that's the end number.
Roran Corvinus: (9)
OnlineHost: Seifen Frost has entered the room.
SwordOfAtrophy: He wasn't technically non human, just a little angel taint
leftover from a freaky ancestor way back when. He glanced up at Indrila. "Is
aught amiss?"
Tesarik One: Fail. You feel warm and fuzzy when you pet Shalia in kitten
form.
Tesarik One: And you want to pet her!
Tales0fBeauty: No one can resist the purr!
OnlineHost: Seifen Frost has left the room.
OnlineHost: Seifen Frost has entered the room.
Roran Corvinus: (if you only knew what I was going to do.....)
Tesarik One: "No, nothing is amiss, I am just preparing and making sure I
remember the ritual. I had to memorize it quickly once Maria sent for me."
She watched for the island, it would not be long now.
Roran Corvinus: Well, it wasn't that he didn't like the felines, though that
purring seemed to draw his attention as that large calwed hand came down to
stroke over the feline's head and down her back slowly. He then shook his
wolf head
Roran Corvinus: as he then turned back to the railing, that white fur
blowing gently in the wind. (d)
Tesarik One: The ship approaches a large island, and it is lush and fertile.
A verdant forest beyond the small beach.
RageofNocturne: :: Well flying at this slow pace was getting on the dragons
nerves so he dropped down into the water and would rather swim alongside the
ship now since it was much less taxing-D-
Tesarik One: There is no dock, so it will send you forward in a smaller
rowboat to the beach. Everyone roll a Spot.
Tales0fBeauty: She leaned into the petting and purred even more loudly she
oh so loved being petted! Then she looked over to logen and gave him a smile.
Her attention then drawn to the fast approaching
Tales0fBeauty: island.
OnlineHost: SwordOfAtrophy rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
OnlineHost: Tales0fBeauty rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
OnlineHost: Roran Corvinus rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
SwordOfAtrophy: (I see.. everything)
Tesarik One: Indrila was too busy praying or something to notice ANYTHING.
Ha.
Tales0fBeauty: +5 alert= 24
OnlineHost: RageofNocturne rolled 2 20-sided dice: 7 11
RageofNocturne: 7 Turlough + 5 Lorcan= 16)
Tesarik One: Everyone but Indrila can make out animals and creatures here
and there, but things seem a little odd. You see a bird fly by that has a
snake's head. A crab upon the sand as you reach the beach has fur instead of
a shell. A deer on
Tesarik One: the edge of the forest turns, and it's back half is not deer at
all, but a bear! A squirrel runs across a branch, it's tail is that of a
mouse.
Tesarik One: She must have had her eyes closed, head bowed, as the island
came into view. Once the ship had dropped anchor, and the rowboat was ready,
she climbed gracefully down into it and waited for those far stronger than
the frail woman to
Tesarik One: row to shore.
Tesarik One: Turlough doesn't see it either.
Tales0fBeauty: She would see the creatures that inhabited this beach as they
approached and it was most curious to her as she had never seen any creatures
like that before. When the rowboat was ready she would climb into it as well
and waited for
SwordOfAtrophy: "Well, that's unusual.." He unfolded himself and stood up.
He would have flown, but he was bound to protect Indrila, so he climbed into
the boat to use his big muscles to row to shore, provided it only required
one man.
Tales0fBeauty: logen to get into it and then curled herself around his feet
as they made their way to shore.
RageofNocturne: :: Lorcan looked towards the beach as he walked his way out
of the water let the water run off his scales. Turlough meanwhile got in the
rowboat to head for the shore Lorcan was already at-D-
Tesarik One: There would probably not be room for a medium sized anthro cat
creature to curl up at someone's feet. it's just a rowboat.
Tesarik One: As they rowed to shore, her lips were moving but no sound was
heard. She was saying the words of the ritual over and over to cement them
into her brain. She knew very well that one mistake could mean they all died
quickly. If any of
Tesarik One: them did not understand the power and might of this ancient
creature, she hoped they would soon respect the creature birthed from the
rainbow serpent who birthed their whole world.
Roguish Luck: Impious.
Tesarik One: What a great friend he makes to Indrila.
Roguish Luck: Logen just grinned towards the Ghost Elf as he stuck oars to
water and pulled.[d]
Tales0fBeauty: Ok then she will sit next to him.
Tesarik One: With ease they make it to shore, and a path is visible in the
forest, not very large as it's probably a game trail.
Roran Corvinus: So, he wondered if the large lycan would be able to fit in
the row boat. If not, he would just doggy paddle next to the boat.
Tesarik One: Probably be ok, if not they'd send two rowboats.
Tesarik One: She rose and stepped out of the boat and onto the sand, and
dusted herself off. Her cloak's hood was pulled down, and her black eyes
squinted as she stared up and then at the forest line. She caught the trail,
and moved to wait for
Tesarik One: the party to gather near her.
RageofNocturne: :: Once at shore Turlough got out and helped pull the
rowboat ashore so it didnt go out with the tide or drift off. He would look
to Lorcan who watched the group-- It is about time ye all got here.-D-
SwordOfAtrophy: He lept out of the boat, his little fizzwinken item helping
him look to all sides to take in everything as he stretched his arms and
moved to Indrila, waiting for the candle distribution.
Tesarik One: She looked over to the dragon, "You need to stay behind us, if
you fly ahead and do not do the ritual, then you will be attacked. You must
hold back, and land at the edge of the pool once we arrive there so you do
not trigger rage
Tesarik One: in the creature."
Tales0fBeauty: She would look into her claws at the reflection they held
which would because of her handy dandy fizz item reveal anything hidden
around them to her. She would stay next to logen as she walked with the
others.
Roguish Luck: Boat ran ashore and tugged fast. Out he would step and flip
the damn thing over for final touch to make sure it did not drift. Back to
the group he walked, drying his hands off on his pants. "Yeah... Maria told
me to keep you all
Roguish Luck: safe and bring you back alive... I can't do that if you're
going to make stupid decisions."[d]
Roran Corvinus: Roran would stay back as well, walking behind the group but
in front of the large dragon. He looked down to the feline walking next to
Logen before turning his golden gaze to the back of Logen's head. He then
turned his
Roran Corvinus: gaze back to the trail as he lifted dthat snout to the sky
and sniffed, just getting a feel for the area. (d)
RageofNocturne: :: He would look to Indrila and nodded-- Dont think i can
walk through the forest there anyhow. --he said and would wait for them to
move ahead-D-
Tesarik One: She pulled out a small bag from her pack, and began to
distribute the small, white candles. As they clasped them with both hands, or
claws, whatever they had the wick would light up magically. Once they were
all distributed, she
Tesarik One: began to head towards the path. "We are safe, until we spot the
pool. Then, you must stay behind me, hold your candle and put your head down.
Keep your head down until the creature speaks to us. I will lead you in what
you are to do
Tesarik One: at the pool." And, onto the game path she began to walk,
pushing away vines and bushes from her tender skin not covered by her flimsy
dress or cloak.
Tales0fBeauty: Those black pointed ears would flicker atop her head as she
listened intently to what Indrila was saying to them all and she gave her a
nod "Ok will do!"
RageofNocturne: :: He would nod and took the candle in his claws...literally
two claws to hold the thing. Turlough took his candle and held it in both
hands-- Alright, lets get this show on and road then? -D-
Tesarik One: It was extremely thick vegetation, and the path was not very
wide. As you walk, you still see all those odd creature combinations around
you. All sorts of things (I'll let you make them up within reason) of unique
creatures that
Tesarik One: the andren polymorphed together.
Tesarik One: "Does anyone speak Sylvan?" She asked in but a whisper, though
each heard it clearly in their ears as if she'd whispered it right beside
them.
SwordOfAtrophy: He walked, head down, candle held, like he had a zillion
times during prayer, or this that and the other thing way back when. It was
second nature by now. He apparently made a friend doing that, as a fox with a
rabbit head circled
Tales0fBeauty: She would look to the ghost elf and noded "yes I do, my
counterpart is Elven."
SwordOfAtrophy: his feet. He shook his head. No, no fancy languages for him,
save celestial which he just.. knew..
Tesarik One: "So you speak Sylvan... Not Elvish." She wasn't sure what the
woman was saying.
Tales0fBeauty: She would nod to her "yes Sylvan not elvish."
Tesarik One: "If the creature deems to speak to you, then speak to it back
in Sylvan."
Roran Corvinus: The lycan took the candle as it was given to him. He looked
down as it magically lit on fire, though it was so small in his grasp. he
knew what to do to stay alive, hopefully. (d)
Tesarik One: The path widens a bit, and before you know it, a very large
pool of water comes into view in the near distance.
Tesarik One: "Here it is, stay behind me, do as I do, but do not speak nor
raise your head." She just wanted to make sure they were going to do it. She
drew in a deep breath, holding her candle in her hands, and began to move
forward slowly.
RageofNocturne: :: Turlough followed along with his head down while Lorcan
had to fly over the forest to get there and waited over the forest to be
signaled down-D-
Tales0fBeauty: She noded to her and then she would do as was instructed
holding her candle the way they were told to do and walking behind the ghost
elf with her head bowed.
SwordOfAtrophy: Be silent, look down, hold a candle and watch the ghost elfs
feet to know when to stop moving? Easily done.
Roran Corvinus: The candle held in both claws, he lowered his eyes to the
ground as he continued to walk forth, though he wanted to look up....so very
badly. He never bowed his head to anyone or anything, though he attempted to
restrict
Roran Corvinus: himself so he didn't cause others to die as well by angering
this creature. (d)
Tesarik One: "The progeny of the rainbow belt of colors. For on Arith day
light crossed the firmament from side to side, from front to back,
distributing wealth." She spoke in her normal whisper, though with as
respectful of a tone as she could
Tesarik One: while staring downwards. They moved closer to the pool of
water, and she said, "I am one with the Light. I am filled with the Light. I
am illumined by the Light." Very odd words from a priest of a shadow deity,
but it was a
Tesarik One: prismatic based monster! By the time she said the last "light"
she was at the edge of the water. She kneeled, and waited for everyone to
move forward and kneel as well. Hopefully someone would motion for the
dragon, she was kinda
Tesarik One: busy.
RageofNocturne: :: Turlough would would lift his hands with the candle to
more or less signal down Lorcan who landed off to the side of the others
still behind Indrila. Turlough would kneel with his head still down and the
candle held in both hands
SwordOfAtrophy: He took up the spot on Indrila's left, kneeling and waiting
to continue when she pressed forward.
Roguish Luck: Hopefully the dragon remembered to approach when he was
supposed to. Logen was literally biting his tongue to blood letting to keep
from saying something stupid. When Indirla moved to kneel, so did the
Northman holding the candle in
Roguish Luck: both hands. Farfignufen! Cult crazed crap, just kill it and
you'll get TONS of scales. Chomp.[d]
RageofNocturne: . Lorcan meanwhile landed and moved ahead head down and
wings folded as he would....kneel as best a dragon could but kept his head
down and the candle in both claws-D-
Tales0fBeauty: She would kneel beside logen, as she made sure to mimic
Indrila in her posture and holding the candel and everything.
Roran Corvinus: Oh, Logen might have been having the same issues as Roran at
that moment. He kneeled down beside the Northman, head still bowed, a low
rumbbling heard in his chest. He obviously wasn't comfortable with this sort
of
Roran Corvinus: thing, he'd never bowed down to another and now he was made
to. (d)
Tesarik One: She leaned forward, putting one finger into the water, and
began to stir it in a circle and nodded to the others to do the same.
Roguish Luck: Logen dipped his middle finger into the water and made the
same motions as Indrila.[d]
Roran Corvinus: Roran would then take his right claw and lower it to the
water, his one index claw doing the same in the water.
SwordOfAtrophy: He watched her carefully, mimicing her gesture, trying not
to screw up, drawing a perfect circle was hard.
Tesarik One: 4/7
Tales0fBeauty: She would do the same putting one claw into the water and
swirling it in a circular motion.
RageofNocturne: :: Lorcan moved his massive claw forward to swirl the water
in a circle as did Turlough with his finger in the water following the lead
of the others-D-
Tesarik One: "Come, wise one, and fill us with your radiance," she completed
the ritual, and stared down at the water and waited anxiously.
Tesarik One: The water began to bubble and small waves rolled across the
surface. First the head of the creature emerged, it was massive. Then more of
the creature began to show. This colossally huge, black-headed
Tesarik One: snake is sheathed in brilliant scales, each splashed with
vibrant patterns of every imaginable color. The air around the serpent is
heavy; redolent of the quenched red desert after a torrential
Tesarik One: thunderstorm. At least 60 feet of rainbow coils appeared, who
knew how much more was still under the water. It glanced across to them all
kneeling, and made a hissing sound as it's tongue tasted the air.
Tesarik One: (True Seeing - can see them in their true form if they did not
approach in it.)
Tesarik One: Everyone's in true form, yes?
Roran Corvinus: (affirmative)
SwordOfAtrophy: (Yes)
Tales0fBeauty: (yep)
RageofNocturne: yes)
Tesarik One: "Who kneelss at the edge of my pool ssseeking my wisdom?" It's
voice was booming, yet like gentle thunder. It did not hurt the ears at all,
yet you all could feel the entire earth around you rumble as it spoke.
Tesarik One: "Give you real names," she whispered to them quickly through
the insignia, hearing the creature. "It will know if you lie."
Tesarik One: Roran would have been given an insignia as well, I will send
the info, I forgot to forward an update.
SwordOfAtrophy: "Olan Rauko."
Tales0fBeauty: "Shaila Ithil Calti"
Roran Corvinus: "I am Roran Corvinus" The lycan's voice deep and soft at the
same time, though that hint of the growl in it's undertone still.
Tesarik One: "Indrila Greysong." She never used her last name, and almost
winced saying it.
RageofNocturne: :: Lorcan Murdough Fayden. --the dragon said.-- Turlough
Connelly. --Turlough would then say-D-
Tales0fBeauty: Spoken in that deep gruff growl of a voice.
Tesarik One: your*
Roguish Luck: Of course it was Logen who dwelled for a moment. "Caddoc..
Logen... Wolfsbane." Flare of lips made, allowing a small portion of blood to
seep from the corner of his mouth.[d]
Tesarik One: "I ssseee." It's head moved forward, coming within inches of
Logen's face, it's head was bigger than his body! It pulled back, tongue
slipping out again before speaking, "Do you come to merely pay me reverence
and worship, or do you
Tesarik One: come with a need?"
OnlineHost: an insolent minx has entered the room.
Tesarik One: Indrila drew in a breath, this was the part that was
unscripted, she wasn't sure what they'd all do!
Tesarik One: "You may raise your heads, and I will bow mine to you in
exchange." The creature's head tilted down at the group momentarily.
Roguish Luck: "A need." Logen would answer for them in a graveled voice as
he swallowed his own blood down. Chin lifted and gaze set to the creature.[d]
Tales0fBeauty: She would speak in Sylvan to the creature "We come in
reverence and to ask if you would grace us with one of your scales." She
would say as she heard his words. And she would raise her head to him.
Tesarik One: "Speak of this need, Caddoc."
RageofNocturne: :: Lorcan would lift his head along with Turlough the pair
looking upon the great serpant-D-
Tesarik One: It's serpentine gaze swept to Shalia as she spoke of wanting a
scale, and it hissed and bobbed its head for a moment while waiting to see
what Logen had to say.
SwordOfAtrophy: He looked up, unblinking. That was a big snake. He tried to
eye Shalia to signal her to keep her mouth shut until she was spoken too.
Silly cat.
Roguish Luck: "For us, simply a scale." Oxygen filled his lungs for a long
moment before he exhaled, not enjoying being on his knees. "Will you grace us
with one or shall we earn it?"[d]
Tales0fBeauty: She gluped a bit as the snake moved its head to her and
caught olans gaze and she would indeed keep her mouth shut.
Tesarik One: It did notice her speaking Sylvan, but she would not know that
by its demeanor. Its attention now fully upon Logen since he was speaking for
the group as well. "And what will you do with this scale if I grant such a
boon to you and
Tesarik One: your companions?"
Roguish Luck: "I don't know of your omniscience, but I can tell you it will
be in the hands of a good woman. One better than I."
Tesarik One: It wasn't totally all-knowing, but it could tell truth from
lie, it nodded to him. It picked up upon his surface thoughts though, "A
daeva. Hmm." It shifted in the water, and then spoke again, "Rise. You will
earn this scale from
Tesarik One: me."
OnlineHost: Roran Corvinus has left the room.
Tesarik One: Assuming that Maria is the name Logen was thinking of when he
spoke of who wanted it, I figured.
OnlineHost: Roran Corvinus has entered the room.
Roguish Luck: Logen planted a foot to the earth and pressed himself into a
stand. Candle extinguished and tucked into a belt so that his hands would be
opened to the creature.
Tesarik One: She rose and dusted off her knees, and continued to hold the
candle in her hands to show she meant no harm to the creature. She did have a
blade hidden under her cloak, but it would do nothing against this creature.
Roguish Luck: [ Nah, Sessa. ]
SwordOfAtrophy: He stood up, unsure as to what they were going to be tasked
with. But well, he was prepared to try!
Tesarik One: (Lord)
Roguish Luck: [ Heh. Yeah, Maria. ]
SwordOfAtrophy: (<3 Pinky)
Tales0fBeauty: She would stand up to her feet as the snake said to do so.
RageofNocturne: :: Lorcan would rose closing his claw around the candle he
held and watched the snake and Logen. Turlough himself rose and blew out the
candle and slipped it into his bag-D-
Tesarik One: It slithered within the water, and waited for them all to
stand. Once they had, it spoke again, "Climb upon my coils, and dig your
hands beneath my scales to hang on. Lorcan, change into a suitable form to
ride upon my back." The
Tesarik One: water froze in front of them, providing a solid walkway towards
the rainbow coils of the primeval serpent.
OnlineHost: lupine nightmare has entered the room.
Tales0fBeauty: She would nod and moved to do as the serpant instructed as
she would walk over to it and carefully climbed on its back, she hesitantly
dug her claws beneaths its scales to hold on as she didnt want to hurt the
creature. but that is
Tesarik One: Indrila had not expected this, and she was not sure what they
would do to earn the scale by riding upon the creature's back. But she
obeyed, and stepped out gingerly upon the solid surface of what had been
liquid and moved to the
Tales0fBeauty: what it said to do, so she did so as much as she could with
great effort not to dig her claws into him as well.
RageofNocturne: :: He would blink and then would shapeshift back to his
human form and ran his fingers through his hair as he was again clad in his
taurus hide armor compliments of the fizz. Turlough moved ahead and dug his
fingers beneath the scal
RageofNocturne: es as did Lorcan and the pair would wait now-D-
SwordOfAtrophy: Well, if it was what the creature wanted. Carefully he
walked across the frozen water, and climbed aboard, trying to find a handhold
or something to stay mounted.
Tesarik One: coils of the serpent. Candle put into a pocket, the light
extinguishing, she dug hands on the scales to crawl to a spot where she could
shove her hands deep under a scale and hang on.
Tales0fBeauty: She of course put her candle in her pouch, after the flame
was extengusihed before attempting such a feat.
Tesarik One: "Do not worry of harming me, you cannot harm me in such a way.
Push your hands deep beneath a claw, you must hang on tightly!" It began to
slither slowly, waiting for them all to saddle up.
Roguish Luck: Eyes glanced to the side towards Roran as he was the last to
move forward. Logen then stepped forward, getting to second base with the
primeval god so that he could climb up to the nook that he was directed
to.[d]
Tales0fBeauty: She would hear his words and she would indeed dig deep to
hold on with all her might!
Tesarik One: "You must earn your scale!" it boomed out, and what sounded
like a raging hissing laugh echoed around the area.
Roran Corvinus: Roran would stand as well, blowing the candle out and
handing to Logen since he had no where to put it and he walked across the
frozen water towards the creature. The lycan climbed onto it, those claws
digging below it's
Roran Corvinus: scales to take a strong grip. (d)
Tesarik One: As you all dig your hands in deeply beneath the scales,
suddenly, you feel your hands locked in place. You cannot remove them, the
scales and flesh of the creature has grown over your hands and it is as if
you are now a part of it's
Tesarik One: body. It's body began to curl around and around as it began to
sink back beneath the water. Yes, that is right, you are being submerged with
the snake and there is nothing you can do to stop it!
Tesarik One: Can anyone breathe underwater? If so, you don't need to roll
the END check I'm about to ask for. Just state the ability that lets you
breathe underwater.
Roguish Luck: [ Hah. ]
RageofNocturne: Lorcan can breath underwater)
Tales0fBeauty: Well as she felt her claws locked in like that and the snake
started to sumbmerge into the waters a bit of panic started to ensue inside
her after all she was a cat! she was not to keen on water!
Tesarik One: A bit of fright appeared upon her normally placid face as she
felt her hands grown into the creature. She tried to pull them free, but it
was to no avail. As the creature began to sink beneath the water, she took a
deep breath right
Tesarik One: before it submerged, her silvery hair floating like a halo
around her before she was fully under.
SwordOfAtrophy: So this is how it ends.. he thought.. drowned by a god for
it's own amusement.. maybe. Inhale, hold, monk training don't fail me now.
Tales0fBeauty: Panic aside she would try to take a very deep breath just
before it sumbmerged itself as she would try to survive this!
RageofNocturne: :: Well down below the noble and bodyguard went! Lorcan
didnt bother with a deep breath as he could breath underwater. Turlough
however did and would take a deep breath but lord knew how long he could hold
it-D-
Tesarik One: As she submerged, she quickly cast a spell in her repertoire
that would encase her in a bubble of air (Air Bubble - Skill Effect Spell)
Tesarik One: Her spell failed. Their magic did not seem to work.
Roran Corvinus: He did not seem afraid of this creature's intent. death was
Death..if it happened,d it happened. The large lycan laid down on the serpent
as it began to sink back into the waters, his breathing calm until he felt
the
Roran Corvinus: water and took a breath of his own, eyes closing. (d)
Tesarik One: Everyone roll an Endurance!
Tesarik One: 1d20 + End trait
OnlineHost: Tales0fBeauty rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
OnlineHost: SwordOfAtrophy rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
SwordOfAtrophy: (yay.. 6)
OnlineHost: Roran Corvinus rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Roran Corvinus: (18)
Roguish Luck: Big deep breaths were taken as he readied himself to submerge
underneath the toil. At the final moment, Logen took a deep breath and held
it.
OnlineHost: Roguish Luck rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
OnlineHost: RageofNocturne rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
Roguish Luck: [ 16 ]
RageofNocturne: 8)
Tesarik One: No magic? This was suddenly not fun to the ghost elf.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Tesarik One: +2 END = 20
OnlineHost: DaemianBerazalle has entered the room.
Tales0fBeauty: 16
Tesarik One: Olan, Turlough, you hold your breath as long as you possibly
can, but it runs out and you begin to panic and feel like you are drowning.
OnlineHost: Letoffsomsteam22 has entered the room.
OnlineHost: Letoffsomsteam22 has left the room.
Tesarik One: Roran, Logen, Indrila, Shalia - so far so good.
Tesarik One: Did I miss someone?
RageofNocturne: Lorcan lol)
Tesarik One: Oh Lorcan, but he can breathe fine.
SwordOfAtrophy: Come on hands.. come freeeeeee.. Nope, of course not. Glub
glub.
RageofNocturne: :: Turlough would clench his teeth trying to force himself
to hold out longer. But it was no use he began to struggle -D-
Tesarik One: Deeper and deeper you go into the pool of water, and the water
grows so dark around you that you no longer can see your companions. The
serpent is going further and further down, blackness and cold all around you
the deeper you go.
Tesarik One: You then notice that the scale you've dug your hands beneath
begins to shimmer, all those colors like a kaleidoscope pull your attention
if you aren't drowning yet.
Roguish Luck: The first to belch being the monk, Logen started counting in
his head the time that would pass by. He was gonna have to break Olan's chest
when he got free from the creature.[d]
Tesarik One: Roll another Endurance, everyone.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
OnlineHost: Roguish Luck rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
Tesarik One: 20 wow
Roran Corvinus: Seeing as he was still lying against the serpent as it dodve
deeper andd deeper, his eyes remained closed, breath held, meditating on
keeping himself calm as his fur waved around his entire form in the waters.
OnlineHost: an insolent minx has left the room.
Tales0fBeauty: Oh good she was able to hold her breath, though being in the
water was a bit terrifying! Especially now that she couldnt see anyone
anymore, but then she noticed the scale in her hands shimmmering and that got
a curious look from
Roguish Luck: [ 13 ]
OnlineHost: Roran Corvinus rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
Tales0fBeauty: her enough to get her attention for a while cuase of her
curiosity (flaw)
Roran Corvinus: (9)

Tales0fBeauty: 10
OnlineHost: RageofNocturne rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
RageofNocturne: 11)
RageofNocturne: :: Lorcan looked around then to the scale he held onto as it
began to shimmer and he went all dragon eyed over the shimmery beauty-D-
Tesarik One: Indrila, you've got incredible endurance and while you feel
lightheaded you are not drowning yet. The same cannot be said for Turlough,
all goes black as he passes out.
OnlineHost: SwordOfAtrophy rolled 1 20-sided die: 19
SwordOfAtrophy: (19)
Tesarik One: Logen and Roran and Shalia begin to struggle, you have very
little breath left. Olan you are hanging on by a thread, still on the way to
drowning but something is keeping you from blacking out.
RageofNocturne: :: Turlough meanwhile was well he was out! And if not
attached to the serpant would be sinking from his armor-D-
Tesarik One: She focused upon the glimmering scale that she'd seemed to
become part of, surely a test of endurance was not all the creature wanted to
give them a scale? This might be as dangerous as fighting the beast! She held
her breath still,
Tesarik One: hoping her companions were not dead yet.
Tales0fBeauty: Damn her curisoty it must of have distracted her from
concentrating on hoding her breath and now she was stuggling for sure!
Roguish Luck: Abyssal, wet grave. That's what Logen was going to. Was it the
pressure of the depths that had his head buzzing, or was it the damnation of
a primal god?[d]
Tesarik One: The serpent begins to move faster, and faster and it is
something like being with Willy Wonka as those who are left awake begin to
see shapes forming in the darkness. Light here and there. Forms of creatures,
mountains, clouds.
SwordOfAtrophy: Monk training seemed to be worth something as he was dying,
but not dead yet.
Tesarik One: Roll your last endurance please if you aren't passed out yet.
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Tales0fBeauty: She suddenly felt like she was tripping on some strong
pshycodelic drug as she saw the strange lights and everything, which made her
more curoious but equally terrifed as well.
Roguish Luck: [....::smack::]
Roran Corvinus: He was beginning to feel the loss of air in his lungs as
those eyes finally opened, though he still remained calm, that lycan gaze
burning into the scale he was attached dto.
Tesarik One: Indrila passed out rather suddenly.
OnlineHost: Tales0fBeauty rolled 1 20-sided die: 5

Roguish Luck: [ 17 ]
Roran Corvinus: (4)
Tales0fBeauty: (were all going to die!)
RageofNocturne: :: Lorcan continued to look at the scale then around at the
shapes as they formed as he was fine underwater!-D-
Tesarik One: Shalia, you black out. Roran blacks out. Logen, you miss by 1
point, you black out as well.
Tesarik One: Olan?
Tales0fBeauty: The irony that the cat should find her death in the water
from a snake of all things. She thought before she passed out into darkness.
Roran Corvinus: Roran's eyes slowly closed, not really thinking of anything
in particular as he blacked out, his large body going slack against the
serpent. (d)
Tesarik One: You aren't dead, that is the odd thing, though you are too far
gone to really think about it. You've simply blacked out into nothingness for
the moment.
Tesarik One: I'll keep moving, Olan can roll when he gets the chance.
RageofNocturne: :: Well Lorcan was still awake and fine!-D-
Tesarik One: I'm going to assume he blacks out since his DC is 22.
Tesarik One: Lorcan, you black out as well, though the creature does know
that you did not black out because of your lack of endurance.
OnlineHost: SwordOfAtrophy rolled 1 20-sided die: 9
SwordOfAtrophy: (yep)
Tesarik One: Because.... as you all open your eyes from the black out, you
find yourself sitting in a very large, ornate room full of mirrors. You are
all sitting at a rectangular table, you are dry, and you feel just a little
woozy.
Tesarik One: At the head of the table sits a large snakey humanoid, with the
same glimmering scales as the creature you rode. His hands are crossed and on
the table before him.
RageofNocturne: :: Opening his eyes Turlough would cough a bit and look
around taking in breaths quickly as he did so. Lorcan himself woke and
looked around and blinked-- Strange....how did i manage to black out...-D-
Roran Corvinus: Having passed out in wolf form, Roran would wake up slowly
though in human form once more. He shook his head slowly as he saw he was
sitting at the table, wondering where the heck they were. Finally, his gaze
landed on
Roran Corvinus: the humanoid sitting at the head of the table. (d)
Tesarik One: "You are in the depths of my retreat, and I give you this
opportunity. You each may ask me one question, any question you wish. I may
know the answer, I may not know the answer, but it does not matter for you
will be judged upon the
Tesarik One: question that you ask. One question to a creature who has been
here since Arith was made, what would you ask?"
Tesarik One: (I will give you all a few minutes to think about this, feel
free to continue rp but don't ask the question yet.)
SwordOfAtrophy: Ugh. Last time I... Oh, he hadn't been drinking. He'd
drowned. But apparently not. It took a moment for what the snake had said to
sink in. Hmm. He had a million questions that were unanswered from the
monastery, but to pick just
SwordOfAtrophy: one would be rather ludicrous to rush. So he'd bide time for
a bit, to think, and let others ask first.
Tesarik One: She suddenly awakened and glanced around, she wasn't wet, and
she wasn't dead...or was she?? She was at a table, sitting with a creature
who looked very much like the one they'd spoken to, sorta. He was all
rainbowy at least. And
Tesarik One: then they were to ask a question, and be judged upon what they
asked? She traced the black circle upon one arm and considered this
carefully.
Tales0fBeauty: She would blink as her eyes opened and she found herself in a
mirrored room and she was ever more filled with curiosity as she looked
around the place.
Tesarik One: "I will not let you ponder long, when I call your name, you
must ask your question."
RageofNocturne: :: Hmm.... Lorcan would begin thinking deeply about what to
ask. Turlough aswell would rub his his chin and think on his question-D-
Tesarik One: It leaned forward, bringing scaly palms together and tapping
its fingers as it watched the group. After giving what it felt like was
enough time, it turned until it was facing Turlough.
Tesarik One: "Turlough."
Tesarik One: ^v^ 9/23/2015 11:18:47 PM ^v^
RageofNocturne: :: Uhh.. yes....great serpant.... My question is... Why have
you chosen now to return to Arith? -- Yes it seemed like a waste of a
question but it was the one on his mind!-D-
Tesarik One: "Return to Arith? Young one, I have never left Arith. I just
rest unseen beneath the water for thousands of years at a time."
Tesarik One: It turned to face Indrila then, "Indrila."
Tesarik One: She was ready, it was the first question that popped into her
head so she would ask it. She spoke softly, as always, and first bowed her
head in respect to the creature before speaking, "Why must the innocent
suffer?"
Tesarik One: "Suffering is universal, and has been that way since the dawn
of time for there is always evil to balance good. The innocent do not earn
suffering, it is a symptom of being
Tesarik One: part of the universe."
Tesarik One: "Shalia," it turned to face her.
Tesarik One: ^v^ 9/23/2015 11:24:10 PM ^v^
Tales0fBeauty: She would look to him and canted her head to the side in the
most curious of fashions as she spoke in that low gruff growl of a voice
"will I ever have the chance to get justice for the deaths of my family?"
Tesarik One: "Justice will come, one way or another, whether by you or by
another or by the universe itself. Justice is always given, though you are
not always privy to what is happening elsewhere. They say, what goes around
comes around, yes?"
Tesarik One: "Olan," it now turned to him.
SwordOfAtrophy: He only had one question, posed to him by someone who was
not a Monk, he just said it. "Does a flower... understand the sun?"
Tesarik One: "All of nature understands Bright Eye, and our moons, and all
is connected for when Bright Eye shines in the sky, the flowers turn their
heads. Does that not show they understand?"
Tesarik One: "Lorcan," he now turned to him.
Tesarik One: ^v^ 9/23/2015 11:30:27 PM ^v^
Tesarik One: (His aol froze, I'll give him a few extra moments before I move
on.)
OnlineHost: RageofNocturne has left the room.
OnlineHost: RageofNocturne has entered the room.
Tesarik One: "Lorcan."
RageofNocturne: :: I dont know if you can possibly answer this but i must
ask.... Will my child grow strong and live long in this world? -D-
Tesarik One: "Your child will live as long in this world as is gifted by the
universe and the fabric of time, and will be as strong as you teach your
child to be. Be thankful for each day that you awaken and find your
daughter's smiling face to
Tesarik One: greet you."
Tesarik One: *son
Roguish Luck: [::cracks::]
Roguish Luck: ["Oh what a beautiful...little..gir-guy!"]
Tesarik One: (it's his fault)
Tesarik One: "Logen," it now turned to him.
Tesarik One: ^v^ 9/23/2015 11:37:51 PM ^v^
RageofNocturne: not my fault)
Roguish Luck: "Your wisdom is vague and worth no more value than ten silver
in a gypsy's vardo. I have no question for you, nor do I care about your
judgement." Logen pressed himself into a stand, scooting the chair behind him
having had enough
Roguish Luck: time to rid himself of the daze. He had been tricked by the
primeval god and was not happy about it.[d]
Tesarik One: It nodded, and then looked towards Roran, "Roran."
Roran Corvinus: Roran listened to all the questions that were asked as each
person was called on by name. His hands remained palms down on the table as
he sat there, those blue eyes paying close attention to the serpent
humanoid's
Roran Corvinus: behavior and body language. He listened to the questions,
his blue gaze never leaving the creature. Though as he turned his eyes to
Roran and said his name, his gaze remained on the creature, never swaying or
blinking before
Roran Corvinus: he let out a soft exhale of breath. He turned his gaze to
Logen as he did exactly as he was planning to. Damn northman, always having
the same mind as him. That deep voice finally came forth, "What is your
name?"
Roran Corvinus: Everyone else's questions were so demanding, he thought this
a simple enough question as he awaited his answer. (d)
Tesarik One: "My name is in what you call the primordial tongue. It is
Oshoraxzkeiaghusis. You may call me Osho if you cannot say the name fully."
Tales0fBeauty: (try saying that 5 times fast!)
Roguish Luck: [I'd go with Gus. ]
Roran Corvinus: (it's like she just typed a bunch of letters randomly..Gus
Bus is good)
Roguish Luck: [The crazy thing is. She didn't. Pam is like a language savant
like Tolkien. ]
Roran Corvinus: (I'm sure..i was going off my own knowledge)
Tales0fBeauty: (that she is)
Tesarik One: It stood from the table, and looked at them all, and leaned
forward with palms against the table. "You have shown me who you are, by the
questions you have asked me - or not," said as it looked towards Logen, then
at everyone again.
Tesarik One: "I asked for you to earn your scale. You have traveled with me
to my home, you have sat with me at my table, and we have had a discussion of
which I have not had for many, many ages. I will grant you what you wish." It
stood back
Tesarik One: and clapped its hands together, suddenly everyone was on the
back of the serpent again, hands slid deeply under the scales so deep that
the skin and scale had grown over your hands like before. You were part of
the creature, this
Tesarik One: time moving upwards out of the darkness in such a great speed
the water rushed by you and you felt no need to even breathe until you
breached the surface and could gulp in the air. "
Tesarik One: (Oops remove that ")
Tales0fBeauty: Panic ensued as she felt herself upon the back of the snake
with her claws stuck there once more as she knew what was coming as they had
done this ride before, but all that panic washed away when suddenly she could
breath and never
Tales0fBeauty: really had to struggle to do so, though she still wasnt happy
about the water.
Tesarik One: This had been an interesting experience, though that might not
be the word she'd use in private. She had, for a time, thought they would all
never see Arith again but upwards she went, hands part of the creature and
when the air
Roguish Luck: Once he was bound again, he was pulling hard with his arms to
free himself of the creature. That is until it was stream-lined for the
surface. Breach of waters and rush of atmosphere had him pulling air deeply
in feared lungs. Still
Tesarik One: was available she drank it in, deep breaths, so quickly she
coughed. "Thank Kanesh, fresh air, we are not dead. yet."
SwordOfAtrophy: He hoped this wouldn't be a habit, suddenly this way and
that. He was still mulling over what was said, and so he didn't really even
have time to notice he wasn't about to drown this time.
Roguish Luck: alive. Coughs from his own lung paired with Indrila as they
seemingly had the same bad idea.[d]
Tales0fBeauty: "thank lunne, i survived that, that we all did!"
OnlineHost: Time Lost Legend has entered the room.
Roran Corvinus: Roran found himself on the serpent's back once more, hands
now stuck under it's scales. He opened his eyes after they surfaced, taking
in a deep breath of air before looking around slowly. This place was so much
crazier
Roran Corvinus: than he was used to. (d)
OnlineHost: Time Lost Legend has left the room.
Tesarik One: The colossal creature curled it's way further upwards out of
the water, filling nearly the entire pool of water with it's body. "Pull,
pull hard, and you will be released," it said to them.
OnlineHost: Time Lost Legend has entered the room.
RageofNocturne: :: Once on the other side again Turlough took in a breath
and looked to the others then to the serpant he was attached to once again.
Lorcan looked around as he was fine with the travel unlike the others it
seemed. When told to pull
OnlineHost: Time Lost Legend has left the room.
RageofNocturne: to be released the pair would do so and would pull against
the creature to free their hands from it-D-
Tesarik One: She began to tug her hands trying to pull them from the flesh
and scale of the creature where it had buried them. She was not very strong,
she might have to have someone help the fragile woman. She was sure trying
though.
Tesarik One: "Logen," she whispered.
Tesarik One: As they were freeing themselves, it curled its head around and
used one of its sharp teeth to pry one rainbow scale from its body and tossed
it to shore. It was as large as a shield.
Roguish Luck: Teeth grit down and Logen's armssurged with renewed strength
with oxygen flowing throug his blood stream from the pulls of air from
before. The Northman was one of the strongest on Arith, if not the primus.
His hands clenched
Roran Corvinus: Roran pulled hard, straining a bit as he was not used to
being so weak. He let out a low growl as he pulled harder and finally his
hands were ripped dfree of the scales and he would leap from the serpent's
back to the
Roran Corvinus: ground. (d)
SwordOfAtrophy: Huh.. oh, he could be released. He pulled his hands free,
finding it did take a considerable amount of effort. Once he was free, he'd
assist Shalia, then Indrila if Logen hadn't gotten around by then.
Tales0fBeauty: Those pointed ears of hers would flicker as she heard the
creatures words and she would growl as she pulled as hard as she could to get
free from her grip and oneness with the creature. And with olans help she was
able to do so with
Roguish Luck: and the pull freed himself. Eyes set to Indrila and quickly he
was making his way over towards her and rather than tearing her arms out,
Logen shoved his hands within the scales
Roguish Luck: to capture Indrila's hands to help her in the removal from the
creature's entanglement.[d]
Tales0fBeauty: ease! then she would see the scale on the beach and went over
to it and just looked at curiously, before she would shift back to her tiny
kitten form and would leap onto olans shoulder and nuzzled him softly with a
soft mew and a
Tales0fBeauty: purr.
Tesarik One: She looked with relief as Logen made his way to her, and his
hands slid beneath the scale to help her pull her hands free. That was
thoughtful, it might have hurt to tug by her arms. Once pulled free, she
wiped her hands upon her
Tesarik One: cloak and then reached over setting a hand upon Logen's
shoulder, then gave it a gentle pat. Then, off from the creature she went,
and over towards the scale that had been tossed to shore. "We owe you our
gratitude, wise one," she
Tesarik One: said to the creature.
RageofNocturne: :: Once free they moved over to Shore where Turlough would
look over the scale and then to the creature and nodded-- Thank you
friend.-D-
Tesarik One: Now - as you all pull your hands free, something is new... one
of your fingernails is now a small bit of scale from the creature. Vibrantly
colorful, that one fingernail has been gifted to you from the creature. (It
can be removed,
Tesarik One: if you peel off your nail, but you lose all benefits and it
disappears in a puff of light if you do so.)
Roguish Luck: [Is it the finger you stirred the water with?]
Tesarik One: (I'll let you decide which finger it is.)
Roran Corvinus: (lol, that would be funny. Logen's middle finger)
Tesarik One: (lol)
Roguish Luck: [Yeah, it's gonna be that one.]
SwordOfAtrophy: He didn't even notice, he was busy with a cat crawling all
over him. "Are you alright, Shalia?"
OnlineHost: Sister Casianna has entered the room.
Tesarik One: Once everyone was off, and the scale given, it said no more
words and then simply disappeared as it teleported to another of its sacred
pools since this one had been found. A rainbow appeared dancing across the
sky as it disappeared
Roguish Luck: Logen would drop down off of the creature, standing between it
and the others as if some warden of the Heart.[d]
RageofNocturne: :: Lorcan would notice how one of his nails shimmered unlike
the others then looked to it then to serpant-- Thank you for the gift my
friend. --he said and smiled to the serpant and nodded to him-- I am
eternally grateful. --he said
OnlineHost: Time Lost Legend has entered the room.
RageofNocturne: then it was gone and he would look around-- The
rainbow...where is that pot of gold?-D-
Tesarik One: for only a minute before fading away. All they were left with
doing was grabbing the scale, and getting back to the boat. Also, once the
creature is gone, you do not see any other odd creatures while you are on the
island.
OnlineHost: an insolent minx has entered the room.
Tesarik One: ^v^ 9/24/2015 12:03:23 AM ^v^
Tesarik One: Alright folks my time is up, thank you for attending! You are
as always, welcome to keep roleplaying or head to the inne and keep
roleplaying.
Tesarik One: Log Off
Roguish Luck: "G'damn greedy dragons..." Logen started his way over towards
the group with the mutterance on his lips. Logen set a hand to the scale to
tug it up off the dirt...hopefully it didn't require two hands.[d]
Tesarik One: One hand was fine.
Tesarik One: Oh before I close log, is anyone going to rip the nail off?
Tales0fBeauty: She would shake her fur from the tip of her ears to the tip
of her tail and she would let out a frustrated growl "if i didnt hate water
before i surely do now...."
Tales0fBeauty: nope)
RageofNocturne: nope x2)
RageofNocturne: Just a reminder. Treasure Hunter, Midas Touch and Cranberry
Racoon))
Roran Corvinus: (no)
