Tesarik One: Mistakes? IM me. Otherwise, we will begin shortly. BRB.

Tesarik One: Ok!

Tesarik One: Everyone ready?

questing requiem: [ Indeed. ]

Lord Kissekatt: (Mostly)

Nobilis Arcanus: (Yup)

Tesarik One: With summer heat comes the melting of snow and ice in the

regions far north. Of course, summer in the north is nothing like summer

elsewhere for it is still incredibly chilling. The seas have melted,

Tesarik One: allowing for travel through the once-frozen ocean and a pyramid

thought to belong to Pharoah Upsha was discovered in the ice in a barren part

of the Ice Floe Inlet.

Tesarik One: A man seeks our aid to help find his son who was part of an

expedition to uncover the tomb. He was due to be back days ago but has not

returned with the half a dozen others that went with him. So, we

Tesarik One: are asked to investigate and hopefully return the son to his

father! The Port Union mages are waiting, the portal open and beyond the

portal flurries of snow and a cold chilling breeze await them.

Tesarik One: (Begin RP)

Lord Kissekatt: Well, here came the good Baron Kissekatt, looking as

amicable as ever. Sour expression on his face, like the very thought of

spending time with any of these lesser folks just tasted foul. Still, he'd

not shirked from doing some work

Lord Kissekatt: before, and he was fairly good in cold weather, so he may as

well tag along, right? He was equipped somewhat differently from normal.

Still had fancy clothes on, but rather than his coat, he had on studded

leather armor emblazoned

Nobilis Arcanus: :::Moving forward he was always ready to head out on trecks

like this. The warmage coat remained half buckled, which the gloved hand rose

and rest against the spider silk covered chest as he tapped into the arcane.

A quick casting

questing requiem: Rarely did venturing into tombs once concealed by layers

of ice and snow prove anything but illfated for those involved.. a moral

usually learned by the rescue party. In this case.. them. Yet forgotten tombs

also tended to habor

Lord Kissekatt: with his house's sigil, as well as a spear on his back

rather than the customary shortbow. Thumb fiddled with one of the many rings

he had on, and he scowled towards the others, waiting for them to head

through that damned portal

Lord Kissekatt: first.

questing requiem: specimens of the undead.. something the minstrel certainly

proved knowledgable of in the past. Onward to the adventurer's task.. and the

acknowledgment of those coming along to that portal to the destination. " ..

Ah, the Catlord

Indrila: The cold would not bother the ghost elf, it normally wasn't as bad

to her as others but her new acquisition, a ring of cold immunity, helped any

other part that caused discomfort. She was quiet as usual, nodding to the

others as her

Nobilis Arcanus: the Cat's grace spell on himself just incase. It never hurt

to be prepared. The feeling of his steps becoming far more agile and graceful

in each step, small smirk given before adjusting and tugging the gloves

tighter on his hands.:

Nobilis Arcanus: (Cat's Grace +2 Stat Boost to Quicken)

Indrila: hand patted the head of her sainthound beside her, that big shaggy

dog of hers. Blade at her side, she stared into the portal then patted

Melethril and he bounded on through, followed by the ghost elf.

questing requiem: joins us, hm? I hope the Lady Mourne's stay was a pleasant

one. " Well that had been the last bit of hearsay the minstrel had of the

Lordling. The minstrel diverted his attention soon after.. to a little

spellcasting of his own..

Tesarik One: Noted.

questing requiem: choosing the aspect of a spectral undeath.. ah..

necromatic casting.. how nice. [ Aspect of Undeath (Ghost) +2 Charisma boost

]

Tesarik One: Noted.

Indrila: (Ring of Cold Immunity being used.)

Lord Kissekatt: "I do hope that beast is going to behave itself." Said to

Indrila, what with her having that huge dog. Cats and dogs tended to not get

along well, after all! He looked to Girard as well when spoken to and gave

him a blank stare for

Lord Kissekatt: a moment. "And why should it not be?"

questing requiem: [ Mantle of the Snow-witch for cold immunity (in place of

cloak of defense +3)]

Tesarik One: Both noted. Remind me when needed during the quest.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::A gave a nod of greeting to Indrila, Baldur and Girard

before he was turning and heading into the portal. A quiet, whistled tune was

given while a quick glance around once through the portal.:: (Ring of

Adaptation)

Indrila: Indrila stared at Lord Kissekatt a moment and narrowed her dark

eyes, then gave a brief nod as she spoke very quietly. "Melethril is well

behaved. He may very well save your life, so hold your tongue." And into the

snow she went!

questing requiem: " Well you've a talent for unleashing horrors upon the

word, my Lord. Naturally someone might concern themselves with the safety of

the young Lady and the Knight Pearce. " At the very least the minstrel did

apply some feigned

questing requiem: respect.. couldn't let that well cultivated ability to

carouse with the likes of Kissekatt's ilk go to waste could he now? -d

questing requiem: world*

questing requiem: And off into the snow.. he hated the cold.. reminded of

Rumeria. Horrid place! -d

Tesarik One: The wind upon this area of snow and ice is harsh and cold.

Those unprepared would find their exposed flesh frozen, lips chapped and

cracked and violent shuddering as the body attempted to keep warm. There was

a soft glow across the

Lord Kissekatt: "If he does, then I shall thank him. Until then, his

behavior remains to be seen by me." He looked to Girard once again then and

narrowed his eyes a bit. "And what sort of horrid host do you take me for?

Guests are guests, and have

Tesarik One: white landscape, and they'd see ahead of them the chunks of ice

some as big as a house floating in the inlet. It is summer, so there is not

as much snow and ice as usual. The snow is 3 to 4 feet deep and falls in

quiet flurries.

Tesarik One: For the time being, they are able to see ahead of them so they

can move along the cracked shoreline towards the direction they have been

told to go. North-west, following the line of the Ice Floe Inlet.

Lord Kissekatt: no reason to be mistreated." And then yep through the

portal. Good thing he was bundled up, even if not magically so. He pulled a

scarf up over most of his face to protect it and had a look about, then

followed along with the group.

questing requiem: " I suppose it wouldn't be proper to compare you to a

Rumerian noble.. perhaps you are correct and you prove a better host than I

presume. If that is the case.. than do accept the humble apologies of this

noble turned minstrel. Yes?

Tesarik One: Girard, roll a Perception check.

questing requiem: " Yes, all condescending words and smiles..-d

Tesarik One: Spot

questing requiem: [ -2 (inattentive) = 12 ]

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He just shook his head and the slight bit of verbal

sparring as he continued forward. Remaining silent he glanced around, hand

raised to stroke the braided beard.::

Tesarik One: Nothing is noted out of the ordinary.

Tesarik One: (If anyone wishes to roll a Knowledge (Rumeria), or Knowledge

(History) or something else you think is pertinent, do so now.)

Tesarik One: (This is to find out information about Upsha)

Lord Kissekatt: "Is not the lowest peasant in any kingdom a better host than

a Rumerian noble?" He snorted a disgusted sort of snort. "I'll thank you to

not speak to me again unless it is necessary."

questing requiem: " Mm.. Experience does make me agree.. " Rumerian Nobles

weren't exactly pleasant hosts now were they? -d

Nobilis Arcanus: (Archeology)

Indrila: **INT not PER =

Indrila: 25

Tesarik One: Ok hold a sec while I give you the info via IMs.

Tesarik One: Ok. Continue!

Indrila: Indrila walked along beside her sainthound as they moved in the

direction they were supposed to be going. She'd done a little bit of research

before they left, finding out a bit about Upsha. Probably nothing the others

did not know,

Indrila: so the quiet ghost elf just stayed silent and kept her eyes on the

lookout for a pyramid poking out of the ice and snow.

OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 2

well so he just continued forward. :::

OnlineHost: Indrila rolled 1 20-sided die: 9

Indrila: 13

Lord Kissekatt: He lifted a brow and squinted a bit, then trudged forward

and moved over to whatever it was he'd seen, nudging the body in the snow

with his foot. "Hm. Seems someone wasn't very lucky."

Tesarik One: In the snow, there is a frozen body of a human male, lying dead

near a pile of wood that it clearly set up for a fire. Any money or weapons

it may have had in life has been stolen by whoever murdered

Tesarik One: it. Even the man's clothing was stolen, including hits boots.

His skin has turned blue, his hair frozen.

Tesarik One: his*

questing requiem: Not exactly known for been of keen senses, quite the

opposite in fact for the flighty perceptiveness of the minstrel. Noticing the

difference from snow and then the Catlord's apparent mention of noticing it

as well. The minstrel

questing requiem: considered the very dead man. Well.. he could present the

man's spirit the chance to confront his killer.. still a chance it was

unrelated to the task at hand. " Hm... could still lead the way to the

killer.. " But he'd yet to see

Indrila: She did not notice the dead body until Kissekatt pointed it out.

Indrila frowned and moved forward, kneeling at the side of the poor man and

resting her hand upon his frozen forehead as she offered a soft prayer, then

looked over to

questing requiem: one of his ghosts react outside of combat.. go figure. -d

Indrila: Mel who was sniffing around the camp. She glanced to the others,

then slowly turned about trying to see if the man's ghost was nearby.

(Shroudsight)

Tesarik One: The ghost was nearby, anger marked upon his face, trapped in

this world due to the violent way he'd died.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Walking over for a moment looking down to the corpse.

Turning he moved around the area slowly examining to well see if anything

might give a clue while the others stood over near the corpse. Yeah dead

bodies,..not his area of

questing requiem: " ... See something we do not, Indrila? " Well the least

he knew was that she happened to be a devotee unto Kanesh.. reason enough to

seek her counsel in such a situation. -d

Nobilis Arcanus: influence so he left that up to the Ghost Elf. A slight

frown forming as he gave a small tug to the braided beard.::

Lord Kissekatt: "Hm." he didn't see any real need to let the ghost confront

its killer, but he didn't see any reason not to, either. He didn't really

have a problem with ghosts, and he certainly knew he intended to be an angry

one someday. (brb

Indrila: "You must leave this place, only pain comes from an attempt at

retribution." She said to the spirit, then nodded to Girard. "His spirit is

here, being consumed by the anger as most spirits are that cannot move on. We

should burn the

Indrila: body." She glanced to Rhyss, then Baldur, "Either of you have means

to burn in this cold wasteland?"

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Looking over at the question he gave a nod,:;I figure I

can work something up. ::He was moving over and knelt down next to the

corpse, pack shifted around and off digging in the pack. A flask removed, cap

taken off and he sniffed

questing requiem: " Hm.. Indrila perhaps there is another way to soothe this

spirit. " About the best method he knew to do that was 'awaken' the undead in

question. " We shouldn't waste an ally who can reach peace through means

other than direct veng

questing requiem: ence.. " -d

Nobilis Arcanus: at the contents. Yeah,..didn't need to be pouring water

again in an attempt to burn something after that failed attempt for a

whirlwind of flames. Looking up to Girard then to Indrila, brow arched some

while holding the flask over

Nobilis Arcanus: the corpse ready to pour.::Shall I wait then?

Indrila: "What is it you suggest?" She rose and moved away from the body,

and pulled on Mel's collar since the sainthound was barking at the man's

ghost, that's what sainthounds did after all!

Lord Kissekatt: "Burn the body?" He shrugged, then tugged the spear off his

back, activated the flame enchantment, then gave the corpse a good stab right

in the chest. Oh wait, was Girard wanting to do something else? Oops.

questing requiem: Girard certainly would attempt his idea.. kneeling before

the corpse.. since he couldn't rely on his eyes to view the ghost in

question. " A spectre's rage is as bad as a ghast's mindlessness.. perhaps I

can restore some of his

Indrila: "...."

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He just shook his head some before a gloved hand ran over

his face. The flask was slipped back into the pack before once more

shouldering it and rose.::

Indrila: Baldur got a frown from Indrila, then she looked over towards

Girard and ripped the flaming spear out of the dead man's body. The body was

probably already burning, but there was time to put it out, maybe, before the

entire body was

Indrila: destroyed.

Lord Kissekatt: He didn't attempt to remove the spear either, just left it

in there so a good fire could catch, and shrugged at Girard kneeling next to

it. "Sorry mate, selective hearing I suppose." Grin. Although he'd tug the

spear out before he

Lord Kissekatt: let Indrila get her paws on it!

questing requiem: sanity.. for a time at least. " The fact that he reached

for his ankle sheathed dagger was likely not a fair sign either. " If any of

you disagree with this idea.. speak now.. " Indrila's ditaste was rather

abrupt displayed and cert

questing requiem: ainly made the minstrel jump back from the flames. " ... A

little warning next time? " -d

Indrila: She just kept on frowning, and whispered..."Your selective hearing

is going to get you killed."

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He was removing the flask that held the endless water

now, shaking his head he was pouring the water on the flames since there was

an endless flow and all.::

Lord Kissekatt: "Hey, you're the one that suggested it in the first place."

Tesarik One: It was too late, the body was consumed with fire, but oddly

enough they each heard a hiss of "thanks"in their heads before those that

could see the ghost disappeared.

OnlineHost: tehcontractor has entered the room.

Tesarik One: see the ghost watched it disappear.*

Tesarik One: (Spot Check!)

Lord Kissekatt: Head tilted at that hiss, and he snickered a little. "See?

Even the corpse thought it was a good idea." And then, louder, in case the

ghost was still about. "You're welcome, by the way. Just remember who helped

you when the rest

OnlineHost: Nobilis Arcanus rolled 1 20-sided die: 2

Lord Kissekatt: were kneeling and chatting about it."

questing requiem: Girard chose to bite his tongue on the matter.. there was

no reason to antagonise the Priestess after all. He was far more positive

about agitating the likes of Baldur. " A rational ghost could have been given

the decision to move

questing requiem: on themselves.. " Murmured of course. -d

Nobilis Arcanus: (2 + 5 Alert + 1 Perc = 8)

OnlineHost: Georg Pryme has entered the room.

OnlineHost: questing requiem rolled 1 20-sided die: 10

OnlineHost: Lord Kissekatt rolled 1 20-sided die: 10

questing requiem: [8 ]

Indrila: Well it wasn't as if Indrila disagreed with Girard, but Baldur had

jumped the gun and sent the body to burn. At least, whichever way it

happened, the ghost had found himself crossing over.

OnlineHost: Indrila rolled 1 20-sided die: 1

Indrila: She saw...snow.

Lord Kissekatt: 10 + 5 alert, +4 perception, -2 sunblind flaw, and sorry for

not including that earlier. Forgot to ask about the sun. So...17)

questing requiem: [ same.. so 6 ]

Tesarik One: Rhyss, Indrila and Girard just saw lots of snow..... Baldur on

the other hand, he noticed something ahead of them in the snow. Very hard to

see the white stone pyramid amidst the white snow, but there it was.

Tesarik One: Baldur could just make out the top of it, and once he found

that it was easier to make out the stepped sides, half of it still covered in

ice and snow.

OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 10-sided die: 9

Lord Kissekatt: He slung his spear onto his back once more and squinted off

into the distance once again, then perked up a bit. "Oh look at that!" Said

before he pointed.

Indrila: She was having trouble in the snow. She rubbed at her eyes, then

Mel went bounding forward when Baldur called out. Finally, she made out the

stone shape before them and began to look around to see if there was anything

else to be

Indrila: seen to show them exactly where they needed to go.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Looking over in the direction that Baldur had pointed off

to, hand raised to shield his eyes some while squinting.::

Tesarik One: As they move closer, they find clear upon the snow and ice a

trail of blood and large paws in the snow.

OnlineHost: tehcontractor has left the room.

questing requiem: No reason not to move forward with the Catlord pointing

the way with the hound in chase. Least blood showed quite clearly against the

white of snow. -d

Nobilis Arcanus: Hmm blood and paws this could become intresting,::he kept

moving forward and was already tapping into the arcane, more to the point his

lineage and preparing the spell incase something attacked them.::

Indrila: Mel most certainly smelled the blood, and began to follow the trail

of blood sniffing. Indrila tugged her blade out, and began to follow her

sainthound as the trail of blood was followed, taking them it seemed even

closer to the

Indrila: pyramid that looked far more in place in sand it seemed than

surrounded by ice and snow.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He followed the hound then halted, arms crossed over his

chest.::Must have been a sight before the ice claimed it.

Lord Kissekatt: "Bunch of blind fuckers." Muttered under his breath before

he headed over towards the pyramid as well, then eyed all that blood as they

came to it. And the paws. He stopped at one of the paw prints and crouched

down, staring at it a

Lord Kissekatt: moment.

Tesarik One: As they traveled the path of the bloody paw marks, towards the

massive half-frozen pyramid of Upsha, they'd find the dead body of a shaggy

winter wolf......awwwww. Her body was cold, so she'd been dead for a little

while at least.

questing requiem: The pyramind certainly didn't look native by Girard's

opinion.. looked far more at home in Thanes.. or perhaps Madder. And.. low

and behold.. another corpse! Hard not to suspect a trail of bodies all the

way to the pyramind. -d

Lord Kissekatt: "Hm." He had his suspicions at least, which were apparently

confirmed when he moved on and found the body! He smirked just a little. "Oh

look. A canine." Said with a look right at Mel.

Indrila: Death everywhere so far, this was proving quite sad even for the

melancholy ghost elf. Mel sniffed at the dead body, then began to bark like a

crazy dog and nudge the body with his nose. She talked sharply to the dog in



Indrila: ghost elven, but Melethril would not stop pushing at the dead body

and yipping.

Tesarik One: The dead dog began to move a little....

questing requiem: " ... This one leave a vengeful spectre as well? "

Directed Indrila's way of course, .... and then movement.. well good reason

to step back. ..And draw his sword. -d

Nobilis Arcanus: :::Seeing the winter wolf then the sainthound going off

nudging and barking at the corpse had an eyebrow arching. Looking towards

Indrila he would tilt his head before catching the slight movement and

frowned,::hmm.

Lord Kissekatt: At the sharp talking, he responded in ghost elven, because

why not? "Oh let him have a bite." And then...it moved? He narrowed his eyes

and pulled his spear free once again. Ghosts were one thing, undead wolves

were quite another.

Indrila: She reached out and grabbed Mel by the collar and pulled him back

away from the body as it began to move, and still held her blade in one hand

as well.

Tesarik One: As the body moved, a white shaggy head popped up from beneath

the dead body....then another... and another. Three itty bitty wolf pups, who

began to yip.

Nobilis Arcanus: :::And Winter Wolves a whole different story, no weapon

drawn but his hands wreathed in electricty, seeing the three little heads the

current was drawn back into his body before moving forward frowning,::well I

doubt we have much to

Tesarik One:

i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss79/Firey_Arcanine/Wolf-White-Pup.jpg

Nobilis Arcanus: fear here.

Tesarik One: Awwwww.

Indrila: Well, that was unexpected. She had thought the wolf was going to

rise as some undead creature and they'd have to fight it off, when instead it

seemed the body was shielding three wolf pups. Mel moved forward and began to

lick the

Lord Kissekatt: "Oh I don't know. They're cute now, but they'll grow into

that." Said with a nudge of his spear to the dead wolf. "On the other

hand....that could be nice to have around." He put his spear up again, then

crouched down and eyed the

Lord Kissekatt: little wolves more closely.

questing requiem: Well that was far ... alright it was a little more

concerning if one happened to have a soft spot for any creature given such a

circumstance. Exactly how he'd wound up with a half-ghost foster-daughter!

Girard did sheathe his blade

Indrila: heads of the little pups, and nudge them a bit, which made them yip

a little more and run about.

questing requiem: and crouch down to inspect one of the pups.. mostly to see

if they'd been harmed in any way by what had killed their guardian. -d

Tesarik One: They had some blood on them, but it was not their own. They

were three healthy pups, but far too young to be without a mother, they'd

need to be cared for at least a little while.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He reached over and lightly pet one of the pups heads, he

then was gently lifting one examining the blood on it.:::Well this one seems

unharmed, what of the others?

Indrila: "Well I expect we'll need to bring the pups back to the inne, and

see if one of the druids can nurse them to health." Not literally of course.

questing requiem: " I'm sure my Bobtail would find dodging the pup amusing.

" Yes, Girard had a pet cat.. how nice. One pup would certainly going with

him. " ... Agreed, Indrila. Though we can not trudge through the pyramid with

them.. " -d

Tesarik One: The pyramid was before them just a few steps away, and there

was a door. Upon the door were carved runes (Runin). One rune each in a

little box that one would have to poke their hand into to push. It was a code

they needed to figure

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Yes he was planning on claiming one as well,..let it play

with golden in the house.::

Lord Kissekatt: "I don't see why we ought to take them anywhere. If they

can't survive out here on their own, and they wound up in this situation,

clearly they were not meant to survive in the first place. We'd be defying

the natural order." Well,

Lord Kissekatt: that and they were wild animals. They'd probably grow up to

maul whoever took one.

Indrila: "I will leave Mel out here to watch them while we enter." She then

gave the command to Melethril, who began to nudge and yip at the pups again

to keep their attention.

Nobilis Arcanus: Think you could return them to the inne Indrila then return

to us? ::He arched an eyebrow looking to Baldur,::or perhaps we were meant to

come upon them and return with the pups. ::He

Tesarik One: out and press the runes in the right order to open the door.

Tesarik One: (

Tesarik One: (Anyone know Runin?)

Nobilis Arcanus: was then putting one of the pups down and rose moving for

the door. Head tilted as he began looking over the runes.::

Nobilis Arcanus: (Yup as well as knowledge on codes and secret scripts)

Lord Kissekatt: "Well that's an awfully arrogant assumption." Coming from a

nobleman, that should be pretty harsh! As for the runes, he had no idea.

Tesarik One: (Or have Knowledge (Secret Codes/scripts)?)

questing requiem: And there came the thoughts of dragging the Catlord into

the shadow plane and leaving him there. he was fairly sure the Obsidian Heart

Ring wouldn't get him out of that paticular plane! .. Swallowing distaste

ensued instead. -d

Nobilis Arcanus: ( yup x 2)

Tesarik One: (Ok)

questing requiem: [ nope. that's Kythin's game. heh ]

Nobilis Arcanus: As is your assumption Baldur,...do me a favor come and

stick your hand in the left hole and press the rune.

Indrila: The quiet ghost elf snickered hearing Rhyss tell Baldur to stick

his hand into the hole. She moved to the side, watching Mel and the three

pups a moment, then back to the door. "Well, it is some kind of puzzle.

Unfortunately I do

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He looked between the runes in the little boxes,

fingertip tapped his chin.::UR PI SS HE AS.

Lord Kissekatt: He blinked at that and gave Rhyss a very taken-aback look.

"If you can explain how letting the natural order of things decide what

should happen rather than some misguided sense of compassion for a wild

animal is arrogant, sure."

Tesarik One: Indrila would be able to at least make out they were letters.

Indrila: "UR ...PI....SS...HE...AS..." Her knowledge of secret codes and

scripts was coming in handy as she attempted to figure out what exactly was

going on. "The name of the person buried here was.... Upsha?"

Nobilis Arcanus: As stated sometimes things happen even in the natural order

that can not be expalined,::a faint shrug was given.::They are given the

chance to live by being found, and yes Upsha.

Indrila: She pointed to the U. "Well, perhaps we must spell out the name?"

Nobilis Arcanus: Upsha Rise,::he tilted his head staring at the door. Brow

arched and he began to press the runes in that order.::

Nobilis Arcanus: Well rises,::he looked over towards Indrila then the

others.::

Tesarik One: So, he poked his hand into the openings to press the runes in

that order?

Lord Kissekatt: He was about to mention the man forgot one of the S's, based

on the letters he'd heard. He wasn't poking his hand into any of those holes

though.

Tesarik One: It was a good thing he got it correct then.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Yes he was poking his hand into the boxes poking the

runes in that order.::

questing requiem: " Upsha.. Rises.. " .. Well that sounded quite fitting for

a tomb as he expected them to be. And Rhyss hadn't loss a hand so things were

off to a good start. Time to watch.. the pyramid open up? -d

Tesarik One: The door slid in on itself and there was a corridor before

them. The door made a lot of grinding noise, so there was really no way for

them to sneak into the pyramid, because as soon as the pyramid door started

opening the Tomb

Tesarik One: Robbers already inside knew they were there! There was a blast

of ice down the corridor from the room within, aiming right for Rhyss!

(possibly more elsewhere!) but for now a mage, a rogue and a fighter. As the

group makes their

three dead bodies on the group of folks dressed like explorers, and two tied

up barely alive. None match the description of the boy they were sent to

find, but it is quite

Lord Kissekatt: Oh good, a blast of ice! "And that is why you don't go in

disappeared! Well okay. Oh look, hostages.

questing requiem: The initial blast of icy magic Rhyss's way and the

fellow's adequate defense let Girard turn his attention elsewhere.

Specifically he focused on a little spellcasting intending to grant himself a

little surprise versus the Tomb Robb

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He snorted softly,:;of course not those who are easiest

to injure should always stay in the rear.

questing requiem: ers. The purpose.. was not immediately obvious once the

shadows coalaesce about his hands and booted feet. And then.. Girard pulled

off his best Hexenthral impression.. taking to the walls of the pyramid and

up ceilingward! [ Dance

from the blast of ice, well snow and slush making his way forward and looked

to the folks tied up.::Got anything you can do for them Indrila?

Tesarik One: Xue-

Lord Kissekatt: "I've got a few potions I can spare for them. Indrila seems

to be better suited fighting, if you ask me."

Nobilis Arcanus: Alright that works thank you Baldur,::he was knelt there

next to the two tied up and was cutting them free while Girard went up the

wall.::

Indrila: She was not a healer, oddly enough, but she nodded. "I have a

wand." But, she was readying her legacy weapon and figuring out which spells

she was going to use.

Tesarik One: Xue was the mage, a female Iceborn with long blue hair in

braids, white skin, and very little clothing as was the style of the iceborn

who were immune to the cold. As they entered the room, she let off another

blast of ice magic

Tesarik One: towards them, this one aiming for the one scuttling up the wall

with shards of ice. (Girard)

Auran, of course.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He just shook his head before consuming another of the

sulpher spheres in his casting. Another ball of fire appeared in his hand

before it met Tuyet in the back while he argued with Baldur.::

did it the old fashioned way, darted for the door and on the way slammed her

Lord Kissekatt: (Shoulda been 43 too. >.> Glad I had that evade hah)

Tesarik One: (Oh forgot to double didn't I)

Indrila: She spun around when Xue tried to escape, she moved after her with

quick steps, trying to stop her before she got too far away. She had no

qualms with hitting someone in the back, and Xue would hopefully feel her

thinblade rip down

Indrila: her spine from behind.

Lord Kissekatt: He hopped right out of the way of that incoming staff and

flipped that dagger around in his hand, throwing it at the back of Xue's

head. He'd miss, but oh well. They didn't need to know he missed on purpose.

(Declining strike roll

Lord Kissekatt: to miss on purpose!)

Lord Kissekatt: (Unless you want me to roll high enough to miss on purpose

lol)

Tesarik One: No that's fine, if you purposely missed so be it!

Tesarik One: Rhyss - Last chance to get Xue before she disappears into the

snow!

Lord Kissekatt: "Damnit, I am just not at the top of my game today."

Indrila: "Are you ever?" Indrila was possibly teasing, but really one could

never know with her.

Lord Kissekatt: "Of course, I oppress the peasantry with the best of 'em."

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Well,...he couldn't blast her due to the magic so he opted

for another trick. He would swirl that ball of flame then threw it past the

woman to strike the ground right infront of her so she would run into the

impact of stone shards

Lord Kissekatt: "And you people call me a dick." He shook his head and

picked up his spear, sticking it on his back. "So far I've only burned

corpses, not living creatures."

Nobilis Arcanus: Whatever it takes to get the job done,::he gave a smirk

then looked to Indrila and Girard,::can one of you catch her spirit before

she escapes away and find out about the one we are here to find. I really

just ment to take her legs

Nobilis Arcanus: out.

Tesarik One: Going further into the pyramid, you go through several tunnels

and come into the main burial chamber, which is painted in all the colors of

the rainbow. Atop a pile of what seems like glittering

Tesarik One: prismatic diamonds is the mummified body of Pharaoh Upsha. A

golden crown and a necklace of amber is around her neck, a golden ring with a

glittering gemstone is upon her finger, and her bony hands clutch

Tesarik One: a golden rod and a black spear. A boy of the description they

are looking for is crouched with his arms around his knees, hiding from the

robbers while gazing in awe at the scene before him.

Indrila: Indrila moved out to where the woman had burned to death, making

sure she was dead and finishing her off if needed, then knelt down and gave a

prayer to Kanesh for the spirit as she used her Shroudsight to gaze around

for it. Though

Indrila: they didn't need to be all that fancy did they? There was that

woman left alive from the group cuddling up to her sainthound. She glanced

over at her a moment, then to the spirit, and back. "Where is the young boy?"

Said to them both

Indrila: .*

Lord Kissekatt: He stayed with Indrila, curious if she'd be able to talk to

this particular ghost! Well, she was certainly looking at nothing. Once again

that spear burst into flames, and into the corpse it went. He at least made

it look like he

Tesarik One: The girl hugged Melethril, shivering with cold, she wasn't much

older than the boy, late teens. "He ran further into the pyramid to escape

and hide."

Lord Kissekatt: tripped and just...caught himself flaming-point-first in the

corpse.

questing requiem: Capturing a spirit did not happen to be among Girard's

necromantic capability.. and sending the spirit after her killer wouldn't

exactly help them. The minstrel followed along with the Priestess and the

Catlord. Frowning at the burn

Indrila: She jumped back as he went all speary flamey again, and rose to

glare at him. "Kindly allow me to move away before you do that again." She

turned and relayed the message to those in the tomb, then moved over to put

her cloak on the

Indrila: poor woman.

questing requiem: ing of yet another corpse by Baldur. It was becoming

rather strange really.. especially after the mention of speaking to the

spirits had been rised.. " ... What are you up to, Catlord.. " -d

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He didn't follow but moved along slowly working into the

tomb. A glance around before spotting the kid, then further inspection of the

room had him tilting his head. Had Nani been here she would probably be

drooling, moving forward

Lord Kissekatt: "Well." Shrug, innocent look. Thought maybe he'd get thanked

again, but he didn't hear anything. Oh well. He looked to Girard then and let

out a guffaw. "I hardly think I need to explain myself to the likes of you,

bard." And then

Lord Kissekatt: it was further into the pyramid for him!

Tesarik One: (Girard, roll an Insight Check)

Nobilis Arcanus: he gave a nod to the kid.;;Your abductors has been dealt

with, my associates were sent to find you if you go right outside you will

fnd them. ::He turned and moved around the room slowly examining everything

and anything. A hand

questing requiem: [-2 Sunblind = 9 ]

Tesarik One: Fail.

Tesarik One: The boy nodded and ran out all the way, all the way into the

arms of his friend who wrapped Indrila's cloak around him as well. He tugged

a couple of those radiant diamonds out and showed her.

Nobilis Arcanus: reached out, the glove removed from his right hand. On the

bronze tinted flesh was traces of viens glowing an off tone blue, fingertips

touched the golden rod casting Identify on the rod.::

questing requiem: " ... I do not trust this... the Catlord is up to

something. " Said after he felt Baldur was assumedly out of ear shot. Then of

course there was the woman who had escaped to able to cuddle the ghost elf's

hound. " I don't suppose

questing requiem: know whats going on.. " Motioning back at where Baldur had

gone.. yes he was sticking out there for the moment. -d

questing requiem: you know*

Indrila: Indrila frowned and shook her head. "I do not know him well enough

to determine what game it is he is up to. But..." She pointed to where the

dead body of the other captive was located. "He said that one just fell over.

I wonder."

Lord Kissekatt: He said keeled! That was a much more colorful word.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::His hand slid from the golden rod moving from the rod to

the spear, then to each of the items that he had touched. Being the crown,

ring, necklace and spear. All of those having the identify spell cast upon

them.::

questing requiem: " Well.. we could test that theory. " Responded the

minstrel.. who affected by the negative influences of his own magic.. went

over to said corpse.. and kneeled by it. While he wasn't all that certain if

he could still summon the

Nobilis Arcanus: (Castin Identify on each item,..so 4 identify spells used)

questing requiem: spirit.. well he'd certainly try. After all.. they'd have

their answer if the ghost came out.. and went for Baldur's sorry hide! [

Summon Vengeful Spirit - Summoning - yep there we go. ]

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He reached out trailing his fingers over the blackened

spear, he would look down and around for any sort of trap the spears endcap

could be resting on.::

Tesarik One: The ghost appeared quite visibly, and of course since Baldur

HAD killed it, due to the spell it would be Baldur alone that it went after.

Claws ripped into Baldur's very soul as it screamed.

Lord Kissekatt: Oh dear. Chased him down the hallway and everything! He

heard it screaming at him at least and scrambled out of the way, blinking.

"The fuck.."

Indrila: Oh dear, Indrila was laughing. It really wasn't a laughing matter,

at all. Poor man had died, but watching the spirit chase after Baldur was

just poetic justice.

Lord Kissekatt: Except now he knew to always, always burn the corpses.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Hearing the scream and baldur he turned his head.::What

the fuck is going on out there?

questing requiem: " We have our answer Indrila.. " He didn't have to possess

the same sight as the Ghost elf to realize where his summon had gone off to

now did he? " We will be informing Maria of this I hope.. " Minstrel's were

known for their silve

questing requiem: r tongues.. who knew how sullied the man's reputation

could become. -d

Lord Kissekatt: "Some screaming phantom of murder came chasing at me." Was

it still around? He had no idea. If it was, he felt it was well past time to

get out of here. He started back down the hallway towards the corpse! He

could just burn that

Lord Kissekatt: damn thing too.

Tesarik One: Ok folks, let's wind this up, of course you can continue to rp.



Nobilis Arcanus: ::He was extracting the spear very carefully,..didn't want

to break off any fingers or anything now did he? So working the spear free

Lord Kissekatt: Would love either of those defensive items and the

shortsword, but is too ghost-attacked to do anything about it.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Was goina spread the wealth also,..the spear was his!::

Tesarik One: After everyone leaves the area where Upsha sits, her eyes open

glowing a soft red. Upsha has Risen.

Tesarik One: ---the end.....mwahahaha---

questing requiem: Girard will blame... Baldur.

Lord Kissekatt: Well at least something horrible was awakened and Baldur

actually had nothing to do with it this time.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Of course he will,...due to all the sacrafices made!::

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Killing an innocent and all tends to raise evil

spirits.::

Lord Kissekatt: (Taking obviously cursed mummy stuff is a terrible idea. I'm

up for some.)

Tesarik One: There is a ring non magical.

Tesarik One: A crown that controls weather but you lose strength while using

it.
