Game Start; Febuary 22nd, 852PA. Avery Palace, Harlech City, Harlech. Let's get it oooooooonnnnnnnnn baby ; ) *gives bee a shot of xanax :) * ROFL *xanax ??* *slowly slipping into seducer personality* Okay, all of you are in the very messy room. its a sedative type drug :) ((wait)) since Kopporu threw all the books on the floor (( i have to get all my screens)) *has desc ready, say when hatch* Lady Alexis is tall for a half-elf at about 5'8". She is solidly build and muscular, but not quite thick. She has dark auburn hair that reaches past the middle of her back, usually worn in a long, single braid. She is plain of face, slightly freckled and fair-skinned, with piercing blue-grey eyes. She walks with the graceful, steady gait of a warrior who trusts her abilities. She wears no covering on her head, prefering to leave her hearing and vision uncompromised. She leaves her hands bare as well, but uses a set of heavy chainmail armor, which she keeps impeccably clean. She has a longsword swung over each shoulder, and carries a heavy longbow of fine workmanship. You see a woman with two long black braids trailing down her back. You would think the tight black leather armor that covers her from her feet to high on her neck would be the most striking feature but the white and black cermic looking mask blocking all view of her features is easily more impressive. Even though you cant see the woman underneath the leather armor its tightness reveals easily that its a woman in great shape and possibly considerable beauty under it. She carries a leather bag thrown over one shoulder, and a crossbow of very small size actually in a holster at her hip. Two short swords are in scabbard crossed on her back. You cant make out her race but she might be human or elven. Middle length brown hair, and a "Lion's Mane" beard, (Sideburns, jawline, no mustache), His eyes are usually a leaf green color, but being hazel they change. Tall and slim, he is not heavily muscled, but is usually wearing concealing robes, this would describe the good looking human known as Alexand Di'Mere. He carries several daggers on his dark brown leather belt, and a staff is gripped easily in his hands. The only major finery you can see on him aside from his nice simple dark blue robe and leather boots, is a large heavy metal ring hung from a cord around his neck. You see a short adolescent human(you think) girl, with short blazing orange hair cut in a haphazard way that compliments her dissimilar eyes, one being of the palest blue the other of the deepest brown. Her skin is a light tan, setting off her orange hair quite nicely. She wears leather armor of an uncommon sort, with spikes instead of studs littering the surface, around her waist is something that looks quite out of place, a decidedly rusty chain being used it seems as a belt... with a very peculiar sword tucked in it. She carries with her a fairly large trident... which suprisingly looks as tho' it has had little use(as with the sword). Her hands on the other hand are wrapped in blood stained and rather dirty heavy cloth around the knuckles and palms, and yet her hands seem to feel no pain. Apon her shoulders rests a beautiful white cloak, with the remains of an animal of somesort's head hanging limply behind her... it looks as though it could be pulled over as a cap/headdress/hat, you wonder how the white could remain so pristine next to everything else she wears. ((ROFL!!! Chain! ;-) The CHAIN??? A catching glance during a yawn reveals teeth that look... not quite altogether human, her canines being somewhat more pronounced and sharp looking than they should be. {mwahahah} I can't believe you kept that. :) ((I can. ;-))) (At least she kept the sword too.) I must have missed something. ((Better get my dice ready. ;-) ((ROFL, is that princess monoke ?)) Anyways... (nothing Bob, it's from her intro. One of the kobolds had a chain) About 5 feet, 8 inches tall, Gohrn is very slim, with an athletic build. His hair is red, untamed, and usually, unwashed. He has elvish features. His eyes are green, and usually bloodshot. His cloak is black, and held together at the neck with a simple pin. The cloak is black, travel-stained and hooded, but it's rare to see Gohrn use it. You can see splint mail of a black color peeking out from beneath it. He carries a large scythe that seems to radiate a unearthly power. It has many uses, serving as a backscratcher, a lantern holder, a reaver of souls, and a walking stick. Ohh, you also see a tall human man with black hair and soft brown eyes, dressed in a brillant white cloak and gleaming armor sitting on the arm of a chair in the corner. ((ACK !! it's a Whitecloak !!)) No its not! He's very friendly. {psst.... are we starting? ;)} Yep! Everyone go about your meeting {describe the room again} It's a 12 by 15 foot room. Empty bookshelves line the walls. Books cover the floor. *walks in with confidant step* ((i Wonder why??? ;-))) One shelf still has books on it. There's a few chairs in the room. *sitting and staring at the oragne haired girl* The only doors are the two you came in. ((heheheh cause I got some that's why, and I'll probbaly get more, he's just that cool : D )) **pacing** ((hehe)) ((I said wonder why to the books on the floor. ;-))) (heh) *stares intently at the book case* **starts putting all the books in one pile** *whoho* "So..... does anyone know why we're here?" **procedes to make a book fort** (ROFL!!) *is watching all these women standing around, and not one has noticed me, is disturbed by this* "im supposed to find someone" "thats all i know" "Well, you know more than I do." **ignores everyone in the room** *walks farther over to them, still in a confidant step* "Like I said, you're no help, Brendon." (Because soooome people were too eager to follow the beautiful people!) "hello" {where is Brendon Hatch?} I would guess I probbaly know the least, hello, it seems I've walked into a small paradise (Sitting on the arm of that chair still) "A small paradise?" ((dammit)) (Bob?) ((just lost him)) **throws book at Brendon** "Hey!" *gleaming seducer smile of doomed hearts attack !!* {lost bob} (He said his ethernet card is shot.) User Gohrn Da'ell has left the chat Brendon looks up. "Yes?" "Why are there so many people here?" **I.e. one of those really nice looking smiles* He looks around "...because we're waiting." "So you know nothing?" ".... waiting?" 'i not much up for waiting" Just asked to help, and directed to go to this room, and that was all I was told He looks to Alexis and smiles. "I didn't say that, did I, Lady Alexis?" *nods slightly at domino* I hate waiting .... it's so ........ boring "okay, I'll give you that." "So, what are we waiting for?" "i would more say its less 'productive' then i like to be" "Ryan." *stands up* Although it is hard to be bored in such wonderful company *not a trace of sarcasm* *walks to the book case* *examines the non moving row of books* okeh. They look like books. "oddly enough, this look like books here" **goes back over to the book pile out of boredom** "But the little one couldn't move them. Odd." **begins flipping through books... looking fro pictures** Hmm, do they have Tenser's ultradynamic hydoform formula theory ? Gohrn Da'ell enters the chat **is in engrossed in her picture search... doesnt hear Alex** "Right. Hello."((Sorry.)) "Was that Dwarvish?" 'sure that woudl on the bottem of her fort somewhere" (Flying Disk?) *smiles* I like to read, it comes in handy with what I do "And what do you do?" ((Ummm I basically said formula for fluid water)) {do i find any pictures hatch?} ((You found a, N'Sync coloring book!)) (Some, not many. Demons, skeletons, and dark shadowforms) *snaps fingers* *casts cantrip ..... light music plays* I make stuff happen now and then "Ah, nice." {like what type of pictures hatch... describe one i find} **ears perk** *pleasant tune plays, you find it oddly soothing and nice .... ;)* **looks.... alarmed** "I am Alexis." **looks around the room** *walks to the door tha we entered and tries to open it* *shakes Alexis had* I am Alexand User Gohrn Da'ell has left the chat ((bang)) (You find a rough red-ink sketch of a large demonic darkness. At his feet lay hundreds of dead people) The door is locked now. "Nice to meet you, Alexand." **shakes her head and goes back to pic searching** *squeezes back but not as hard, no change in facial expression at all* "ooooh..." Nice to meet you as well *kneels down and examines the lock* **tears out the demon picture** acK!! "this you can keep me if i dont want to be kept* ... Umm, and who might be the small impulsive one ? "I don't really know." "I sure do wish my Master would stop dragging me away like this." *yells* "thats fuzzy over there" *watches the destruction of the book with a pang of sympath* "SHe hasn't said much." ((ROFL Bob)) Fuzzy huh ? matches her apperance *pets fuzzy* **while ripping out the picture accidentally breaks the book's spine** "bad move magician" "Have you a name?" {pets fuzzy where?} *eyebrow again raises at domino* ((ROFL pan)) (...you broke one of my books!!!) "domino" thats what im called *on the top of her fuzzy head* **looks up kinda confused** "eh?" *smiles at fuzzy* Hello "I'm Alexis. I'm lad to meet you." lad=glad **holds up the book** "i think I broke it" {while looking up at Bee} Brendon stands up from the chair, looks around and stretches, then sits back down and yawns. *nods* I think so .... maybe if you didn't pull on it so hard it the others won't break "How mucy longer?" Brendon smiles. "Not too much longer, I should think." "but it made such a nice cracking sound...." "good." *smiles* you like cracking sounds don't you little one ? "Hello." *stands up and walks to the red head slim man that is staring at the wall* "Seems in a trance of come sort." *nods... obviously bored with the conversation and continues looking through books** "what an odd collection of people" "I'll ask again, and hopefully I won't be dragged kicking and screaming into hell again. Are any of you named Ryan?" "That it is. I'm having a hard time figuring out what would bring us together." *walks over to alexis and domino* She doesn't seem so bad ... a little savage, but not bad "I hope we get an answer soon." *ears perk* "shes fuzzy, thats all i know" "Savage?" Acually I think it rather makes sense the group of us "I AM NOT AMUSED!" Im domino "really? How so?" **turns to face Domino Alexis and Alex** (Kelemvor is displeased! ^_^) *jumps back a bit* ((rofl)) "Savage????" I am Alexand **snorts** "I'm sure he meant it as a compliment!" Umm, sorry fuzzy, umm .... uninterested in reading **throws book at Alexis** *ducks* **looks confused** "Fuh-zee?" "Are you in there?" Everyone roll Wis/Int with a -4 Average of Wis/int? (yes) ((made it by 2)) failed by a mile {whoa! i succeeded} (like you can fail, Bee.) {its... a miracle} You forgot to tell us your name, so someone told me your name is fuzzy, little one "yes, please tell us your name." ((with a -4 penalty ?? heck yes I can)) User Gohrn Da'ell has left the chat *alarmedly looks about in a panicy way* (succeeded) *turns to face the door* Gohrn Da'ell enters the chat *looks over* "It's ok. If you don't want us to call you fuzzy or little one, we need to know your name." *turns around to face the oppisiite wall from the door* **isnt hearing Alexis** *listens intently* **gets up and starts... searching** "Is something going on?" Everyone roll Dex/Int :) *hands are raises slightly* Made it {failed} ((Umm rolled a 2)) 9 (( : ) )) {i faaaaaailed.... do i die?} (killed it) ((hehe)) That wall is about to open I think *points* {figures thats when i'd roll a 17} (Lightning burst through the roof and kills.... Kopporu1!!!) *backs away from it* {ack!} **sizzle** **sizzle** *steps back away from the wall The one section of shelving that still has books on it slips backwards slightly, then stops. User Gohrn Da'ell has left the chat It lifts slowly upwards into the ceiling. *draws a sword* A rather short tanned man dressed as one of the palace clerks steps through, bowing to you all, and announcing that they're ready for you. "AHHHHH!" "Nice entrance." **throw book at him** ((throw the book at him!!)) Gohrn Da'ell enters the chat It misses. He steps to the side and becons you into the room. *walks into the room confidantly* **holds hand over chest breathing heavliy** "Excuse m Aside from the hidden one you came in, there is one door on the south wall and two large double doors facing west, and a large window on the east wall behind a large redwood desk that sits facing the door, a large high backed chair stands behind it, bearing the sword-and-sun crest of Harlech and the Avery family. *follows but way back, and very alert* ((mwahahahah I am Alexand)) (Somewhere I actually have a picture, but I can't find it.) A tall dark haired man stands behind the desk with his back to you, looking out the window. *after she catches her breath she follows in* *stares angrily at the crest* ((Is Brendon with us?)) (yes) "Is this him?" **walks up to the desk** *doesnt sheath my sword* "You mean Ryan?" He nods. {whats on his desk?} Nothing, it's empty. {are there drawers?} (nope) When he turns around your gaze is drawn to his ice-blue eyes. His look and stance seem to radiate confidence and power. Meeting the eyes of each of the other people, he nods slightly at Medora, and then is silent, watching you a moment before he finally speaks. (hehe, Medora is passed out, floating along next to you) (honest!) ((ROFL)) User Gohrn Da'ell has left the chat ((Bob won't be back tonight)) (nope) *seems unaffected by mister radiant power, and radiates some of his own stuff back* "My name is Ryan, I have served three generations of the Avery family." "In my station I ensure the stability of this realm from less obvious external threats. There are times, though, when it is needed to seek service from those not of this court." "court?" "where's the jury?" ((like Koppy knows what a jury is! ;-))) "or is this one of those weird forms of governments?" He looks at Kopporu. "The royal court of Harlech, Kopporu." {hey... i can know things!} "Kopporu. Pretty name." "royal? a monarchy?" "Yes, a monarchy." **slits eyes** "i sort of got attached to fuzzy" "a monarchy eh?" **says it like it tastes bad** "You dislike that idea, do you Kopporu?" Me too, it was cute " i may need of your services magician" "and i mean the ones of arcane and not of sexual" "Pardon my interruption, Mr. Ryan, but what does this have to do with us?" ((ROFL Becca)) *smiles* I am happy to help a lady ..... *face takes odd look when she says sexual* *glares at Alexis* "I suppose you support the Monarchy Party" "Of course, Lady Valdius. I was getting to that part." *smiles again* Well I've never had a single complaint *smirk* On anything "I support no one's cause but Helm's." "Thank you, Mr' Ryan." "For many years now, a dark force, aided by people of this land has worked to return to this world. Those of this land who work with these dark forces are, for the time being, beyond even our ability to control due to her position." "you support a peice of armor alexis?" (rofl!!) "Like I've never heard that one before." "so its an old joke, still funny" "This dark force, however, we can work to stop, but to do so directly would be to expose the Archon to his enemies. This is why we have asked you all here." "no one paid me to expose anything" "So... we're supposed to stop this dark force, then?" ((Biting her tongue)) ;-) "No, we wouldn't ask you to do that without understanding what it is." Ryan smiles oddly at Domino. **picks the gunk out of the corner of her left eye** "We would ask of you, not to hunt down and destroy this evil, but to find the one who can. All that we know of him is that his name is Kether." (mmmm, gunk!) *looks slightly bored* "magician, i would ask her to save that for you, gunk is a powerful reagent" "Now wait a minute here." "Kether? I have a half brother named Kether...." "Only legends of Kether exist, and so this is not an easy task in itself. I must ask, will you do this for the preservation of your world?" ((ack ! I can't remember what reagent means)) (Spell component!) (ahh) "You spent all the time and effort to bring me all the way from Coventry, and these others from Helm know where..." My talents are beyond needing such ... crutches "Helm know where?" "...just so we can find someone? Couldn't you do that yourself?" {knows} know=knows "Helm KNOWS where?" "sure find the guy save the world blah blah blah" He shakes his head. "No, we can't. Nor can we really try, for doing so would let those we work against know of our actions." "She has people watching everywhere." And by the way Domino, I would appriciate you not stealing my name
