Apoline RP - Children of Isya

[Takimi]

Children of Isya


Once, long ago, the Gods created a world. They called it Isya. They wished to create a status amongst themselves, and so they created the elves, half elves and humans. To them, these creatures were playthings- means to an end. The more followers one had, the more status.


These creatures they created, were flawed. The Gods had not intended for such large amount of free-will. The "children" broke away, some staying loyal to some Gods, some finding their own path.


Civilization began, cities sprouting up everywhere. Roumen, Elderine and Uruga. Named for legendary adventurers. Fighters, Archers, Clerics and Mages flocked together, thriving in numbers.


And now, the time has come to follow the steps of new Legends. Small children really, to the eyes of time. But they will each, in their own way, shape Isya with their actions.

Your task is simple. Create a character using the following profile skeleton:


Spark ID:
Name:
Race:
Class:
Weapon:
Biography:
Picture: (keep it small)
Other:


Start in Roumen like the game. Please keep in mind a few simple rules.


1) No God-moding
2) No auto-killing
3) Please keep your writing literate. Meaning, don't use 1337 or abbreviations. ie: "U <3 Me, I <3 U, I R Best." Please, none of that. If you have issues with spelling, use the Firefox browser, it auto-checks your spelling ^.^
4) In your replies, keep it more than one-liners. I'd prefer minimum would be 2-3 sentences to give each post some body to it. Also, include the picture of your character in each reply, this keeps confusion at bay ^^
5) Please PM me your profile, do not post it here. I will send you a PM if your profile is accepted.
6) When speaking outside of the RP, use either (), [] or <> to indicate you are doing so and avoid confusion.
7) Have fun.

[Takimi]

=Accepted Male Profiles=

Spark ID: autarchaurzel
Name: Zariel Aurel
Race: Half-Elf
Class: Archer (for purposes of rp considered a sniper/assassin)
Weapon: Bow
Biography: Zariel grew up alone and learned to survive by himself on the streets. He was a member of several gangs over his youth and teenage years, only leaving when his natural manner caused him to become unpopular among the other gang members. Due to the elven part of his heritage, from his mother's side, he seems to age very little despite the fact that he's in his late twenties he still looks like a teen, though even he doesn't know his real age.

His natural dexterity and skill with a bow led to him being a very able thief and assassin over the years of his gang work. Due to this life style, despite still having a certain sense of right and wrong he won't hesitate to do something if it's in his best interests.

Picture: http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg
Other: Being an assassin Zariel focuses on the poisons side of an archer's abilities, refining their potency to greater than average strength, not to mention a few of his own concoctions, but due to this he's neglected the more upfront methods of archery (ie: anything which doesnt dot)

Spark ID: saint_attila
Name: Joseph D. Valcross, prefers to be called Valcross.
Race: Human
Class: Paladin
Weapon: A simple hammer and shield
Biography: Joseph was born a normal boy, into a normal family and lived a normal life. However, he was not as normal as some people thought. Joseph, or Valcross as he prefers to be called, loved to tinker with things. Movers, weapons, armor, potions, monsters, anything you can think of he would enjoy tinkering with. If it was a weapon, he would examine it, test it, measure its quality, bite it, throw it against a wall, temper it, break it, reforge it, all sort of things. Valcross had an undying thirst to know how things worked, or at least, know what would happen if he threw dim soul dust on a honeying.

However, fiddling with things would not provide a living. As Valcross grew, his parents told him he would need to find a way to make money of his own. And so, Valcross decided to become a Paladin. He finished his training as a Cleric, progressing to High Cleric, and finally, after a long, brutal journey, Valcross succeded in becoming a Paladin, but his desire to fiddle with things had not died out. Now he works as a bit of a mercenary, taking on odd jobs here and there for the different people in Elderine, Roumen and Uruga, to earn his keep. All the while, fiddling with bits and pieces of different items to see what would happen if he decided to mix common mushrooms with old spirit dust.
Picture: >.> I honestly hate using picture for roleplays.
Other: He loves Honeyings and hates all of Ancient Elven Woods. If he had his choice, he'd have it razed to the ground.

SparkID: ILiKePieLoRDoFKNiVeS
Name: Knivy
Race: Elf
Class: Archer
Weapon: Bow
Biography: Knivy used to be very reclusive and lived alone in forests, moving away when too many people started coming in. Then, he was dangerously hurt and almost killed, but was saved by a kind person who cared for him until he recovered. Knivy tried to go back to seclusion, but he found that he couldn't stand the loneliness. He still prefers to spend a majority of his time by himself, but he enjoys a good conversation.

Picture:http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m409/hollyoftheknife/elf_archer7001-1.jpg
Other: He always pays his debts, and doesn't take gifts. Also, he carries a brace of throwing knives everywhere, hence his name.

Rules Edited. Please read to understand new parameters. Rules are subject to change without notice, but I'll keep you updated if they do.

[RikoRain]

[[ Taki just as a thougth I think you should make a "post requirement", stating things like.. you must state your characters name at least once in the post (so people know who is posting, some of us wont remember each persons sparkID), min post either in paragraph size or character size of some sort, and stuff. Just so that we avoid those people posting two sentences and thinking that will be enough to form an rpg out o. And yes, I tend to post my OCD in double brackets or parenthesis ]]

[autarchaurzel]

I'll be sending in a profile too but i'd like to know how you intend to rp battles, is it sort of D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) style or just maybe a basic roll for each battle ... or is it just all rp without chances of losing etc?

edit: in response to the way riko said he writes ODC (is that the same as ooc (out of character)?)
the way i do it is, everything is IC (in character) unless i say

ooc: <text>

[RikoRain]

[[ Ah yeah I typoed that its mean tot be OCD "Out of char discussion" lmao xD And I think the way she means is classic openly played RPG type over the net; that being that each character understands that they can miss, will miss, but can also do special things, but also miss those. It kinda trusts each person to give their character faults. Thats kinda what the "no god modding" rule is for, basically: dont make your character God, and dont try to act like God in the story. Dont just kill off people without giving them a chance, and dont make your character so PWN that theres no point. lmao ^^ Ill be sending in my character soon, and of course, it will be male, and of course, it will most likely be similar or will be one of my fiesta characters]]

I was thinking include the picture of your character in each reply, to remind people who's who, which is why I asked for the picture to be small. I'll include that in stuff to remember. And OOC I usually have mine in () or [], so either works.

Battles, I'm not sure. Most other RP's I've done do battles as one person does something and then the other person reacts, really kind of "do and react" kind of thing. And yes, OOC is "Out of Character." So you can use like (), [], <> or something similar to show you're not talking in the RP.

Exactly. I notice it's hard to play a character who's "God" or has "god-like" abilities. I was thinking of joining this RP on Gaia that was Dragon vs Phoenix based, and this one girl created a "Void Dragon" that can make anything she wants disappear at will or stuff it in a pocket dimension for her own use. I saw that and I was like, "Hell no, that's practically god-moding yourself."


Stuff like that, if I see it in your Bio, I'll PM you back and ask you to change it, because in a realistic RP, your character has faults. And no one is that powerful. Which is why I didn't include a "Power" section in the skeleton of the profile.


That's also where the RP God comes in (me). Monitoring what's going on and making sure no one's taking cheap shots to being the "best." If I say it's out of line, it's out of line, no ifs ands or buts.


[[ Hey Taki for each char accepted can you maybe pu tthe persons name or sparkID with it xD for reference sake >.> ]]


And I'll include that for future profiles and stick it in right now. Thanks for reminding me.

I thought I'd include an example of an RP, see next post ^.^

Myelin looked around slowly at the crowds. She clutched her staff closely to her and stepped hesitantly off the boat that had brought her to Roumen. She'd heard rumours of tihs place, brigands, mercenaries, thieves... But what she saw seemed to contradict that entirely. It was regular townspeople interacting with each other, peacefully and kindly. She took a few more steps forward and looked around.


She saw a crowd near the waterfountain and walked closer to it. "Come one, come all!" Shouted an older man. "Adventurers this way! Join the Attack against King Slime!" Intrigued, she stepped forwards.


"Sir, are you in need of a Mage? I could offer my services..." The man instantly smiled and grabbed her hand, shaking it hard.
"Yes! Yes of COURSE we need a Mage. Here, sign here! We leave in ten minutes!" The man, she noticed, had a curious badge on his chest. Looking closer, she saw it was the sign of the Town Chief. Well, that would explain it. He's the Town Chief Rumenous.




{{ Now, in this, I don't necessarily play Town Chief Rumenous. He's what I'd call a neutral character. One that you need to manipulate briefly to make a certain thing work. This however, is not encouraged, but it's sometimes necessary. If you need to use a neutral character, like one of the general NPC's in the game, I'd advise doing it not very often. As the RP gets going, it's easier to make the NPC posts by themselves. If someone is interested in taking control of an NPC character, PM me and explain why you should have that certain character. That way I can tell if you'd use them responsibly. Instead of like, taking Item Merchant Pey and be like, "Oh hohoho, I'm going to give you a free hobby 'cause I like you." Because that necessarily wouldn't happen. She's a merchant, and therefore, you must buy/trade with her. }}

[autarchaurzel]

ooc: ok i'll send you profile tomorrow (its late now lol) and i've played an rp like this before, basically when any sort of uncertainty action was required we'd ussually agree on a D6 (regular 6 sided dice) roll
e.g. someone's just suprised you
1-2 = you're stunned and suffer a hit (damage taken)
3-4 = you're suprised but recover fast enough to block the attack
5-6 = you respond to the suprise with ease, you're on equal footing with your attacker
its a very simple table but thats the kind of idea i've used to work with

also if it's ok with you taki, maybe we can put together a sort of "Gear" table, each new character has a certain number of points to pick gear such as weapons and armour so that it helps tailor the character to a player's desire (e.g. a fighter can pick a good sword for x points or instead buy a weaker sword but can also afford some armour, thus being more a tanker which would also give bonuses or saving throws) i know it sounds complicated in theorey but i've seen it work well.

{{ To tell the truth, I'm really unfamiliar with that type of RP. I usually prefer not to use dice or use some type of point table for gear and stuff. This is a very general RP- not like hard-core Dungeon + Dragons. Gear and weapons is generally decided by what class you pick. You're a mage, you wear robes, cloth and pick between a staff and a wand. If you pick a cleric, you wear light to heavy armor, and decide between a hammer or a mace, shield included with both... Fighter, between a 1hand/shield, 2hand or axe, and you wear heavy armor. It's a lot simpler. }}

Kitone walked out of the woods into the town of Roumen, the salty winds that blew in off the sea filled her nostrils. She had been walking through the woods for a few days, having heard that someone in this town was recruiting adventurers for something that sounded pretty big. It didn't take her long to find what she was looking for.

"Come one, come all!" Shouted someone in the distance. "Adventurers this way! Join the Attack against King Slime!"

Kitone didn't know what this 'King Slime' was but she was in need of some coin and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. She ran to where the voice sounded like it was coming from and almost ran head-first into the small crowd of people gathered around the fountain.

The man at the center of the crowd peered over the crowd to look at Kitone, who had tripped over herself trying to not run completely through the crowd, and said, "I see we have an eager, young fighter here wanting to join, if I'm not mistaken."

"Yea, I want to help out on this quest. Where do I sign up?" Kitone asked, getting up off the ground and dusting herself off.

"Right here," the man replied holding out a piece of paper, "Just sign your name and don't wander too far, we'll be leaving soon." Kitone hurriedly signed the paper and handed it back to the man. "Good, good, Kitone is it?" Kitone nodded in confirmation, "Well Kitone, I'm Town Chief Rumenous." the man said, shaking her hand profusely.

After she had exchanged a few words with Rumenous, Kitone stepped out of the crowd and looked around the harbor at all the busy people going about their busy lives when her eyes caught a mage, standing off by herself observing those around her. She seemed a little uneasy of her environs and clutched her staff to her chest, like a child would their teddy bear. Kitone thought back to her last discourse with a mage and remembered walking away sans eyebrows and having her claymore reforged because it 'broke due to extreme cold', so she decided to start things off on the right foot this time. She walked up behind the mage, who still hadn't seen her, and tapped her on he shoulder causing the mage to jump and spin around suddenly.

"Geez, I'm sorry if I scared ya, my name's Kitone and you are?" Kitone said apologetically while extending her hand for the mage.

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin spun around at the tap on her shoulder and looked suspiciously at the fighter standing next to her. "Myelin. My name is Myelin." She looked the fighter up and down and studied her. Kitone, she said her name was? Myelin relaxed a little, lowering her staff toa comfortable position. She didn't, after all, need the staff upright to cast a spell..

[T3h_SyN]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

"Myelin. That's a nice name. You're not from around here are you?" Kitone responded, turning towards the sea but keeping an eye on the mage's movements, she knew that they could cast a spell from almost any position. The mage stared, dumbfounded, by the question.

"How can you tell that?" Myelin responded.

"Three things. Firstly, you keep looking around as if you're not sure where exactly you should be going. Secondly, I've never seen clothes like those on mages here, they make you look like royalty or something. Thirdly," Kitone said pointing to the cat at Myelin's feet, "Not many people here have a pet like that. So what brings you here to this port town? Riches? Fame? Adventure?"

[Takimi]

{Not to nag, but let me talk for myself? ^.^}


http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg

"Oh, well, yes, I am not from around here... Across the sea actually. Adventure I suppose... and Nya is just a cat. Well, unless the cats here are different?" Myelin looked down at Nya, sitting by her feet. Of course to her, Nya was an ordinary cat. Four legs, striking white fur and very sleek. True, she was a very pure breed of cat and available to those like her family, but still... Nya was just a cat.


"And what are you here for? I just happen to be making my own way in the world. I heard that Town Chief shouting for adventurers, so I thought I'd volunteer."

[autarchaurzel]

ooc: i didnt mean like all that but any time an important even or the climax of a fight occurs a single dice roll to direct the outcome i think would keep it interesting (better that than certain people who will always win their fights by a landslide so to speak) anyway you should be getting my profile in a few mins

[T3h_SyN]

/*sure, didn't mean to insult or anything when I used you*/

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

"Me? Well, I guess you could say I'm here for the adventure but that wouldn't be fully correct. I'm here more for a good fight than the adventure itself. I heard that someone her was getting some people together for a quest and I figured that anything that sounded that grand should have some pretty decent battles along the way." Kitone said while cradling the hilt of her short sword. She always did this when she started to reminisce about battles past. She peered over at Myelin and noticed her cautiously watching her movements and quickly withdrew her hand from the sword.

"Sorry, old habits die hard," Kitone said, jokingly adding, "So you've joined the quest to attack King Slime, you sure you wanna take this up? You don't look like your too sure of your abilities. Have you ever been in a true fight?"

[Takimi]

{{ Not offended, just a small reminder }}

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg

Myelin looked at Kitone, eyeing her. "Yes, I have." She didn't elaborate. There wasn't really a need to. Stepping to the side, she leaned back as a random fighter came bursting through the crowd. If she hadn't moved, she might've been knocked over.


"Hmmph, insubordinate whelp..." She murmured under her breath, barely to be heard by anyone. She brushed back her hair, watching Rumenous call for more adventurers. It looked as if it might take a while. Myelin sat down on the fountain's edge. Nya jumped into her lap and she petted her absently, watching the crowds warily.


{{ Ack, I uploaded the wrong RP picture xD. Good thing these posts are editable. }}

Zariel looked around at the hustle and bustle that was the people of Roumen. He stuck to the shadows of the alley way he'd concealled himself in and continued to view the crowd gathering around Roumenus. He knew his target was here somewhere but he'd failed the glimpse the figure he'd been described as yet. As the crowd parted to allow more volunteers for what ever the town chief was calling for, he could a glimpse of two people sitting alone on the other side of the fountain. He peered through the falling waters and just picked out the forms of two women, one sitting and cradling something in her lap which he couldn't quite descern, she wore flowing robes and a staff lay at her side, a mage, not his target. Then Zariel looked at the other one, she was still standing and watched as her hand with occasionally slide to the hilt of her sword as she eyed everyone around her, almost as if she was expecting a fight would break out at any moment.

The crowd closed in again before he could study the two of them any more and once again the blairing voice of the town chief echoed across the square again. This time he could discern some of the words, despite the accent being thick and foreign to him. Something about a raid, but he ignored those words. Zariel darted through several more alleys till he could see the two solitary figures by the fountain. He eyed them again and decided he could do worse. He let his bow hang down by one hand, a measured gesture to appear non-threatening but also not so hard to bring it up again if there was trouble. Zariel strode across the square in a confident but not overbearing manner and stood a few paces from the two women.
"Good day to you," he said, aknowledging them both in his statement, "I go by Zariel these days, to whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?"

"Good day. I am Myelin." She gestured to the cat. "And this is Nya. Welcome to Roumen, Zariel. Are you new here?" She tipped her head slightly to the side, examining his features. He was of a strong build, fairly good shoulders. She surmised he was probably an Archer... his legs weren't stocky or heavily built up as a Fighter would be. Nor was he lean like most Mages. And seeing no mace or hammer, she guessed he wasn't a Cleric either.

Kitone stood up rapidly, her hand not leaving the hilt of her short-sword. In fact, if anything, her grip tightened. "My name's Kitone." she said.

There was a noticeable tension between the fighter and the archer, both held their weapons in such a way that if the other so much as twitched too sharply they'd be drawn and loaded in a fraction of a second.

"I hope I'm not coming across as rude, but you're holding that bow pretty securely with that one hand, if you know what I mean, and I'm not one to avoid a good fight..." Kitone said, flashing a devilish grin, "but I'd rather save my energy for the attack on King Slime's camp." She released her grip on the sword and said, "Maybe when I'm done with that we can have a little sparring match over in the arena? ", with the grin still on her face.

Myelin giggled and looked back and forth between the two. "Do any of you like ice? It's a fun thing to use. I'm sure it can cool any temper." She arranged her skirts and sat primly, providing a sweet, adorable picture. "Come now, let's not fight, neh?"

[autarchaurzel]

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel eyed the fighter for a moment longer before he relaxed the grip on his bow. "Indeed, Myelin is right, Kitone was it?" Zariel said, rolling the names over his tongue as he tested them in his accent. "Though your offer is intriguing, I would feel inclined to pass, I rarely like getting into face to face confrontations," he slung his bow in a gesture of non-violence and instead drew an arrow and fiddled with the shaft and tested the point, a little habit he'd picked up either when he was thinking or waiting for something to happen.

He eyed both the women for a moment, sizing them up before he spoke again. "So I gather then you've both put yourselves down for this ... raid that is occuring?" Zariel gestured towards the still calling town chief. He received nods from both of them and shrugged, "What the hell, may as well go, I've got nothing better to do at the moment." Zariel started walking towards Roumenus when he stopped for a moment to say, "And to answer your first question, Myelin, I'm here on business."

[T3h_SyN]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

"Tch, fine... no sparring," Kitone said, the disappointment clearly evident in her voice. "Business? what kind of..." Kitone began, stopping only because she felt like she was overstepping her bounds, "Nevermind... I'll be right back, I'm just gonna see if the local smith can sharpen my swords for me before we have to head out."

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


"We'll see you in a a little bit then, Kitone?" Myelin smiled and turned her attention to Zariel again. "Is it business you care to speak of? If not, it really is none of my business." She tilted her head to the side and looked behind Zariel, curious to see why there was a disturbance. Seeing it was only a couple of people haggling over some items, she ignored it and looked back to Zariel.

[autarchaurzel]

ooc: i'm assuming this is after i went and registered for king slime

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

IC: Zariel gave Myelin a mysterious grin and said, "Nothing I'd care to discuss with a couple of strangers."
Myelin tilted her head to the other side with a questioning look but before she could say anything, Zariel cut in with, "Have you come to Roumen before? Personally I haven't been here for years and I'm not too impressed with the progress its made since then." He waved his arm round taking in a fair amount of the port town with his gesture before turning his attention back to Myelin.

[saint_attila]

((Yeah, I don't really have a picture. Mainly because I hate using pictures in RPs. However, Taki, if you want me to find one, just tell me. I'll go scrape one up. And that profile is so low quality. T-T I'm embarrassed to have submitted that. Anyway, moving on.))

In the small city of Roumen, not too far away from Remi, next to the ferry to the sea of greed, stood a young Paladin, his back to the world. A hammer was slung through a loop in his belt and a shield hung on his back, covering up his armor. His hands were moving, poking, fiddling with something that sparkled slightly in the morning sun. He gazed intently at his work, oblivious to the rest of the world. The materials melded together flawlessly, becoming a stone that gave off a teal-purple hue. The Paladin grinned at his creation and tossed it in the air a few times, catching it as it came back down.

"Hopefully this time it will work." He mumbled as he stopped tossing the stone. "If it works, I can finally start marketing lucky and blessed weapon enhancements stones to people and make a fortune! No longer will I have to fight for my daily bread!" The paladin threw his hands up in triumph and felt a weight leave his hand. "Oh no." He gasped as he watched the stone tumble through the air and land on the ground several feet away and shatter into a thousand tiny fragments. "My get rich quick scheme!" He cried out as he fell to his knees, small tears forming in his eyes. "All that work for nothing!"

Moments passed and he stood up and kicked the shattered stone away. "Oh well, I'll just have to try again." And with that, he went on his way, passing by a group of adventurers standing around Roumenous. "Good day." He said as he passed by.

((Not one of my best posts, sorry for the low quality.))

[Takimi]

{{ Umm, you don't have to have a picture, it's just easier to keep track of who's who. And your profile's fine Attila ^.^ }}

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin giggled a little, then straightened her face. "Oh, no I haven't. This is my first time to Roumen." She set her staff against the fountain lip and stood up, after nuding Nya to the side. Her less than five feet of height suddenly made her feel quite small compared to this tall archer. She shrugged it off quickly however. She was used to it.


Stretching, Myelin looked around and watched as a young cleric drop an enhancement stone, looking quite broken up over it. He passed their way and mentioned a hello. "Hello to you to, fellow adventurer!" She called out, her voice light and easy.

[saint_attila]

The paladin looked at the group of people standing around Roumenous. An Archer, a Fighter and a Mage. And he, a Paladin. He couldn't help but chuckle. "Yes, yes, hello, hello. Good day, good day, and all those other pleasantries." He nodded and looked over at Roumenous, then back to the adventurers. "Let me guess, he's got you doing some sort of job, right?" The Paladin motioned towards Roumenous with his thumb. "Good luck with that, his jobs are usually rather annoying. Though he does pay well. Yes...pay..." The Paladin trailed off, losing himself to thought. It had been a long time since he had taken on a job, and those last few experiments had taken a bit of cash. "Excuse me for a moment." With that, the Paladin hurried over to Roumenous and struck up a conversation. It was going fine until Roumenous shook his head and made a motion for the Paladin to leave. This was not a good answer. The hammer left its belt loop and found it's way to Roumenous' knee. After that, Roumenous seemed to approve.

The Paladin strode back over to the group of people from before. "Well, it seems I am taking that job as well. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to offer this group my services as a healer." He let his hammer rest on his shoulder, a small smile on his face, a hand extended. "I'll make sure nobody gets hurt too badly and I won't steal all the drops either. So what do you say? Can I join up with you guys?"

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg

"I don't see why not..." Myelin looked at the Cleric and smiled. "And what is your name, oh Cleric?" She swept some of her hair back, pushing her bangs from her eyes. She shifted alightly on her feet, settling her skirts again as she paid attention to the new-comer.

[saint_attila]

"Fantastic." He said with a quick laugh. The Paladin took one step back, and with a grand flourish, returned his hammer to his belt before bowing to the mage, as any gentleman should do when faced with a pretty lady. "I am Valcross, Paladin and inventor, at your service...." Valcross stopped mid sentence and rose from his grand gesture. He scratched his cheek and chuckled sheepishly. "Forgive me, but I forgot to ask your name, miss...." He left the sentence unfinished, waiting for her to complete it for him with her name.

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg

Myelin giggled and smiled. "I am Myelin." She didn't supply a last name, there really was no need to. She curtseyed gracefully and tipped her head towards him. "I would assume we're leaving soon...? It seems to be filling up."

[saint_attila]

Valcross looked at the mage for a moment, a puzzled look on his face. "I am Myelin. Did your parents not love you? I wouldn't name my child I am Myelin." The Paladin scratched his chin as he continued to stare at the mage. He grunted slightly and shrugged his shoulders. "Ah well, my name is Valcross, which is just as strange, if not more strange than your name. Who am I to judge?" He continued to scratch his chin as he started to walk in circles around the group. "Tell me when we are ready to go. I'll never figure it out if you don't tell me."

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin looked at him oddly. "I was stating that my name is Myelin... therefore, 'I am Myelin.' And I believe we're waiting on Kitone to come back." She eyed him as he walked around her and Zariel, and shrugged her shoulders and looked up at Zariel.

[autarchaurzel]

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel fidgeted and continuously turned to face the cleric as he walked round them both. Zariel never liked someone behind him, particularly a stranger he'd just met, too much opportunity to be attacked.
"Excuse me can I help you!" he snapped at the cleric when he'd become fed up of this circling.
Would the world judge me to harshly if I took him out without a hit out on him? Zariel thought to himself as he eyed the cleric.

[saint_attila]

Valcross heard someone speaking to him, and contemplated answering. He weighed the pros and cons of answering with a sarcastic comment as well. So far, nothing was looking good. But he had to answer at some point, better to answer than to stay silent. "I don't think you can help me." Valcross said as nonchalantly as possible. "However, I do think I can help you out. Here, watch this." Valcross clapped his hands together in a symbol of prayer, before raising them towards the heavens and opening them. A blue circle of light, filled with intricate symbols and designs, appeared around Valcross as two angel wings seemed to open behind him. The circle of light disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, but left whoever was near it feeling stronger. Valcross chuckled and sat down in his spot. "Now you won't die as easily, but you'll have to stay relatively close to the rest of the people in the group, or more specific, me, else the protective barrier will fall."


((And just for the people that I didn't describe it well enough for, he just cast protect.))

[autarchaurzel]

ooc: yeah pretty clear lol, but i think the wings appear above dont they not behind :P

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel stepped back outside the protective barrier. "I don't like having to rely on anyone else except myself to get the job done," he explained to the questioning looks. Zariel knew he'd have to get used to it though if he was going to tag along with the group, his mark was close, and needed to secure himself somewhere while he picked an opportunity to find and strike his target.

He thought back to the last time he'd been paid for a hit ... too long, he was almost out of money, and the only things he owned in the world were what he had on him, and that was barely enough to feed him for another month if he rationed it. He thought back to his target, going over the details, the warnings, the research he'd done. He suddenly was pulled out of his thought when he heard calls from nearby.
"I think they're getting ready to go," Zariel said and looked at there strange looks before he realised his mistake, he repeated the phrase in their own language and inwardly cursed himself for speaking his own language out loud.

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin giggled. She understood it just fine, but then, that was because they shared a hertiage of sorts. "Your fluency is quite good." She commented. Continuing on in Elven, she asked, "Was your mother or father Elven? Your lilt makes me think whichever one was quite possibly from a welathy family?" She smiled and looked around. Switching back to Common, she murmured, "I wonder what is taking Kitone so long..."

[T3h_SyN]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

As if on cue Kitone came walking down the stairs towards the group, her short sword in hand, its newly honed edge gleaming in the sunlight. She stood near Myelin and whispered into her ear, "Hey, who's the cleric?"

Myelin turned to answer the question but she apparently didn't answer fast enough for Kitone, who turned to the cleric and asked, "Hey, I don't know you... My name's Kitone, who are you?" In her head Kitone was sizing him up, like she did with everyone she met. He looked like he'd do well in combat. She was itching for a fight, it had been days since she fought anything that remotely posed a threat to her.

[autarchaurzel]

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel was taken aback by the mage's understanding of his particular dialect of elven, few people outside his home town knew it, especially with their strong accents it was near impossible to decipher from only a few words.
"I'm afraid I can not say," Zariel replied in a more common form of elven, before he could ask a question of his own though, Kitone returned and began sizing up the cleric.
"Maybe you should save that energy for later, we appear to be leaving now," Zariel said.

[saint_attila]

Valcross stood up when he heard someone asking for his name. "My name is of no importance, but if you must know..." He trailed off as he turned around to face whoever had spoken to him. A female Fighter carrying a sword was eyeing him. In all honesty, it made him feel uncomfortable. "First, you'll have to stop looking at me like that." Valcross mumbled as he scratched his head. "Secondly, my name is Valcross. I'm a Paladin."

((bleh, short, rushed post.))

[T3h_SyN]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

Kitone stared quizzically at the archer and paladin wondering what they were going on about and then she remembered about the sword in her hand. "Oh, right... the sword," she said twisting it in the light, "I was just admiring the sharpening the blacksmith here did. He mentioned something about enhancing it but I didn't have any materials to enhance it with." Kitone noticed the paladin's eyes gleam as she mentioned enhancement. "But anyway, when do you think we'll head out to this King Slime's lair?"

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg

"Fairly soon, I should say." Myelin gave Zariel a quick smile before turning her attention to Kitone. "We seem to be nearly ready to go... Town Chief Rumenous seems to have stopped yelling for adventurers." She stood up and stretched, her cat Nya mewling insistently. "Eh? Oh, right Nya, of course." Myelin pulled a small strip of some kind of meat from her pouch and fed it to Nya, sho seemed to get a little larger? The cat meowed and jumped up onto Myelin's shoulder. "I would think that Rumenous would have us meet him somewhere..."

[autarchaurzel]

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

"That's an interesting species you have there," Zariel nodded his head towards the cat. It was then that he noticed that Roumenus was coming towards them. "I believe we are ready to go if the four of you would follow the rest, I have arranged escorts from the town guards," he said when he was standing just in front of them. Zariel eyed everyong as they all took in the news. "We good to go then everyone?"

ooc: i believe a little pushing along was appropriate plot wise :P

[T3h_SyN]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

Kitone was staring at the cat, in awe due to its sudden yet subtle growth, barely caught what Zariel had said. She fumbled in her pockets, feeling around for the small vials of healing potion she always kept on her, just in case.

"One... Two... Three... Damn, I'm missing a few." Kitone thought, as she tried to remember when she last restocked them, "But I have enough to get me through this quest."

"Yea, I guess..." She said smiling at the thought of the battle to come, motioning to the mage and the paladin, "How about you two?"

[saint_attila]

"Alright then.." Valcross said as he started after the archer. "Let's get going." As he walked, Valcross pulled his hammer from its belt loop and tossed it in the air. He caught by the handle as it came back down and pulled his shield off his back. The woosh of a heavy object being swung through the air followed as Valcross took a few practice swings with the hammer. "Always warm up before you fight. Don't want to hurt yourself mid-fight." He said with a chuckle as he went over what protections he had placed on the party. Protect was in place, resist was not up though. 'I'll just leave it down for this one. I don't think anything will use magic. Not on this job anyway.'

[T3h_SyN]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

Kitone watched as the two men began walking off and smirked when Valcross readied himself for battle. She reached behind her left shoulder with both hands and firmly gripped the hilt of her claymore, drawing it from its sheath. She swung it a few times in front of her, dexterous and graceful yet filled to the brim with raw power. She let the guard fall to rest on her shoulder, the long blade of the sword lay horizontally across the back of her neck.

Turning to Myelin she said, "Looks like the men are eager to go. Shall we join them?"

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin nodded her head, twirling her staff a few times in midair, planting it firm in front of her and activated a circle around the group. "It's merely a warm-up for opening up conduits of power," she explained. "it isn't really a spell." She gave one shake of her head in affirmation and lowered her staff, raising an arm up. "Come Nya." Tha cat jumped up, settling on her shoulder. Myelin walked over to Zariel and Rumenous. "Quite, let's go then."

[autarchaurzel]

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel pulled an arrow from his quiver, he looked the tip over and noticed the slight hue of the poison coating it, he'd placed it back and pulled a normal one out, letting it hang for a moment and then practiced nocking and drawing it in one smooth motion as he brought the bow up to aim. He did this twice more before returning the arrow to his quiver as he noticed the other 3 coming towards him. The town guards had already arrived and were herding the rest of the adventurers off towards a forest trail.
"After you," Zariel said in elvish as Myelin approached and motioned accordingly, falling in step beside her while Kitone and and Valcross caught up.

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


"Thank you." She replied in kind. Myelin tossed a discreet glance over her shoulder and confirmed Kitone and Valcross were catching up. "And off we go- hope it isn't too dangerous." She looked up at Zariel and nearly cricked her neck. Why did everyone have to be so damn tall? She fumed a little inside, then consoled herself by reminding herself that even though she was short, she packed quite a punch.

[saint_attila]

Valcross shook his head as he walked along behind the guards at a brisk rate. It had been some time since he had taken on one of these missions. Well, there was one pressing matter he needed to have answered. "I think I'll just switch between healing and fighting. If you guys get hurt, I'll drop whatever I'm doing to make sure you get patched up." He paused for a moment, rolling his shoulders and letting out a heavy sigh. "I just hope I get a chance to try a few experiments this time around."

((:o We really should get to the place soon. Somebody post our arriving.))

[Takimi]

{{ That'll do, I think }}

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin watched the guards stop and gesture to a large summoning circle. "Here you are, step in here, yes, all of you." She watched as the rest stepped into the circle. "And I'll activate the spell, oh and remember, kill everything. Otherwise they'll just breed again." The guard stepped back and doublechecked they were all safely inside the circle.


Myelin breathed out and embraced the circle's energy as it activated, feeling the spell start up. She left her senses slightly aware, feeling the rest of the group crowd together. The circle activated, Myelin watched through lidded eyes as they were transported to the King Slime's Fortress. The spell quieted, and she slowly opened her eyes, casting her gaze onto the barren land. "No grass, trees or life..." She murmured.


She stepped forwards and her gaze was caught by a quick movement. A slime! She reacted quickly, her staff coming up and her hand reaching back, gathering the energy and letting loose a streaking ball of fire. The flame left her hands and struck the slime squarely. The slime was destroyed, and she yelled, "They're aware we've arrived! Quickly, move!"

[T3h_SyN]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

"You don't have to tell me twice." Kitone said as she ran towards Myelin, her claymore's tip hovering mere inches above the floor. She sprinted past the mage towards her target, a slime slightly larger than the one Myelin had incinerated, and swung the claymore through it, cleaving it cleanly in two.

"Hmm, it appears that the blacksmith knows his way around a sword." Kitone thought as she watched the two halves of the slime fall to the ground and splatter like large drops of water. She turned to her allies and said, "Heh, you three think you can keep up?"

[saint_attila]

Valcross was too preoccupied with an experiment to notice the rest of what was going on around him. The Paladin stood several feet away from the group, holding his hammer like a golf club. He took a few practice swings before finally drawing back completely and shouting, "Fore!". He brought the hammer down, picking a helpless slime up and launching it into the air, where it floated for several seconds before plummeting to the ground and popping into a puddle of purple good. A sly grin spread across Valcross' face as he looked around for another slime. "That was fun, let's do it again."

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin grinned and hitched her skirts up, baring her ankles. She sprung forwards, flinging a lightning bolt followed by a impossibly quick magic missle towards a slime, directing the missle at the last second towards another, destroying both quite quickly. "I believe I can keep up." She stated, running forwards towards Kitone.

She stopped for a second, breathing in, and slammed her staff between her two palms, converting her health into her spirit power. She was weaker, true, but the upside was that she could launch several more fire spells and others towards her enemies.

She dared say she was somewhat enjoying this...

[autarchaurzel]

ooc: anyone feel like people are using skills they shouldnt have in a slime kq? especially seeing as we've just started out, if not can i nature's mist them? :P

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel sent twin arrows hurtling past either side of Kitone's head and struck two different slimes, "Yes I think I can manage thank you." He then sent another arrow into each slime finishing them.
"If the rest of you dont mind," he said nocking a poisoned arrow, "I think I'll scout up ahead." The others of the little raiding group had already begun cutting into the various slimes arrayed before them. Zariel snuck along the side of the combat and spotted a larger, grey slime bouncing towards the battle he pulled the string of his bow back and let the poison arrow fly. The shaft snapped from the impact as the tip embedded itself in the slime's thick hide. The virulent poisones took effect almost immediately and the slime started convulsing in pain. It wasn't long before it was put out of its misery by three more arrows.

[saint_attila]

(( :O Well, I haven't used any skills that I'm not supposed to have yet. Shoot, I haven't even used bash or heal yet. But wait, he might use it in a second.))

Valcross was in the middle of squishing a horde of slimes underneath his hammer when something started poking at the back of his mind. He looked up from the slimes and looked around. "My Paladin senses are tingling." As he surveyed his group, the mage caught his eye. She was a little paler than usual, and looked physically tired. Valcross kicked a slime away before clapping his hands together, as if he were praying. "Don't overdo it. Pace yourself." He said as he raised his right hand towards the sky, causing a column of light to surround the mage for a moment. 'That takes care of that, she should be good for a while.' He thought as he turned back to his little horde of slimes. "Back to business."

[autarchaurzel]

ooc: my paladin senses are tingling, that made me lol XD
and btw you're a cleric not a paladin if you wanna be pedantic, plus you mentioned using a certain buff to do with magic which you're supposed to get at lvl 17 *cough* ;)

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel looked round at the cleric as he healed Myelin. Would be handy having one of 'em around in a scrap, especially when things go wrong ... Zariel thought to himself as he reminisced about all the times he's been injured or incapacitated in his work. In the mean time his arm never stopped its fluid circular motion of drawing, nocking and firing and arrow and repeating.

[saint_attila]

(( >:O Who cares? It's fiction. And besides, there was one event that let people go back and do King Slime at level 70+. We could say it is taking place during that. :3 And sorry for the OOC only comment.))

[Takimi]

{{ Well, since we aren't broadcasting levels, some lines can be crossed. But in my case, I'm not going to start using nova now- I mean, be reasonable. But somethings like the little circle thing that got my magic flowing that's obviously made-up, I mean, you can add little things like that- it does nothing except add some realism to the story }}

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin looked at the cleric. "Thanks..." She knew the risks, but since there was a cleric, she wasn't overly worried. She continued throwing her spells, concentrating on damaging as many as possible. She wasn't watching however, when she used her senses and threw a fireball blindly. She looked up and saw a huge Prince Slime making headway towards her.

"Eeeek!" She picked up her skirts and ran backwards, almost comically, tossing an Ice Bolt behind her as she ran towards her nearest party member, Zariel. "Help!" She called, regretting her ability to aggravate monsters so effectively.

[saint_attila]

Valcross turned his attention away from the monsters for a moment again. "My Paladin senses are tingling again." He turned around to see the mage running from a large white slime. "He needs to get out in the sun. Look at that, he's paler than a ghost." As Valcross spoke, he ran after the mage and the slime, clapping his hands together in prayer before raising them to the sky again. The same column of light descended on the mage again, causing the slime to stop running. Instead it turned it's attention on Valcross. Without a word it bounced over to him, trying to squish the Paladin. Valcross reacted to the change in aggression with a mighty swing from his hammer, bringing it up over his head and sending it crashing down on the slime. "Be more careful next time." He said to the mage as he concentrated on the new threat.

[autarchaurzel]

ooc: well i was reffering to the life tap in myelin's case but in that case *pulls more types of poison out* :P

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel turned when he heard Myelin calling for help, he saw her running towards him as well as a huge slime which towered above any of them. He fired an arrow as it approached but it barely scratched the surface as it rebounded off its thick hide. Valcross came charging in and took the prince slime's attention from Myelin, Zariel taking this chance to check on Myelin, "Are you ok?" She looked a little shaken up but he could see no physical injuries on her. He fired a poison arrow at the prince slime as she calmed down to answer, he checked his quiver again and noticed he'd fired one of his special arrows, coated in a minor paralyzer, it wouldn't work on a monster that big but it would sure make the battle a little more even for the cleric. Zariel turned back to Myelin as she was about to answer.

"Oh, I'm fine." She smiled impishly. "I just tend to attract a lot of attention. Monsters just like me too much!" Myelin joked a little, turning around to face the slime. Satisfied it wasn't interested in her, she raised her hand behind her head and watched the red swirls of power gather around her feet and spiral around her body as she charged the Fire Bolt, hurtling it towards the Prince Slime.

She watched in smugness as the Slime seemed to smoke a bit, taking a direct hit. Myelin quickly threw a few more bolts of power, helping them finish off the slime.

"So we're all supposed to go up the suspicious, amush looking, bottleneck of a ramp?" Zariel said calmly as the ramp came into sight. Two pillars of what looked like worn and very old silver featuring slimes stood an either side of the ramp with energy bolts sizzling the air between them.
"And how are we supposed to get past the gate anyway?" Zariel continued.
"Perhaps we should deal with the guards first?" Kitone said interupting Zariel as the ratmen formed up to defend the gate.
Zariel was quick to pull out a poison arrow and let fly, the arrow striking one of the ratmen in the leg. As the poison took effect the ratman's leg buckled and it collapsed onto its knees, a couple of regular arrows put the monster out of its misery.

Kitone ran towards the ratmen as soon as Zariel fired off his volley of arrows, she was only a few steps behind them when they hit the ratman. It fell to its knees, making an ample springboard. Kitone used it to launch herself over the wall of ratmen, putting her out of the way of the errant arrow or spell. As soon as she had landed she was surrounded by the horde, a quick spiral of her sword took the arm off the nearest ratman. The blood from the wound splashed on Kitone's face, bringing a twisted, maniacal smile to her face. This was what she loved about battle, the exhilaration each slash of her sword brought. She was an artist, her brushes were her blades and her canvas was the bodies of anyone who stood in her way.

She laughed as she started painting her scene of destruction.

woulda been more gruesome :P

Zariel watched Kitone jump into the midst of the ratmen as he drew his next arrow. As he lined up his shot he pictured how easy it would be to hiit her while leaving the ratmen to make it look like a mistake on her part. He pushed the thought away though, this wasn't the time, not now. Without thinking though he aimed towards her, his fingers pulling the string back ready to fire. The string twanged as he fired. The arrow flew unearringly towards the surrounded fighter but at just the last moment the true target was revealed as the arrow passed just over Kitone and gouged out the eye of a ratman about to swing at her from behind, its crude club ready to cave her skull in.
Zariel didn't give a moment's pause and kept up his volley of arrows.

[saint_attila]

Valcross jogged after the rest of the group, cursing himself for getting sidetracked. "Sorry I'm late!" He shouted as he approached the group. He noticed the group of ratmen at the gate and glanced up to the next level of the hill. More monsters were located up there. "Be careful. As soon as that gate falls, we could be in trouble." As he spoke, a Ratman launched himself at Valcross, club raised to strike. The Paladin was oblivious to the approaching danger and took the hit directly to the head.

His vision blurred, his hearing muffled, his knees went weak. Valcross stumbled for a moment, trying not to fall. He lashed out with his hammer, striking wildly at anything surrounding him. One swing connected with something, and the sound of bones snapping under great weight filled the air. The Ratman fell away, part of it's chest caved in. Valcross stopped his swinging and dropped to one knee, holding his head. "That hurt." He mumbled, acting like it was nothing big.

Myelin looked sideways at the cleric, but said nothing. She stared ahead and waited for her spells to recharge and threw a few magic bolts into the sea of monsters. The last few were standing and she helped finish them off as they gathered around. "I think that's the last level... I suppose King Slime is back there, with many minions."

She looked at the rest and sat down, resting her energy. "I don't know about you, but I need to rest a bit. I don't fancy going in there unready."

[autarchaurzel]

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Most of the people seemed to agree with Myelin, though a few didn't, Zariel was one of those few. "You people rest up, I've got an idea," with that he ran off back the way they'd come. He reached the cliff face up to the next 'level' and pulled out a rope and grappling hook, he swung it up with a throw that was somewhat lacking but it managed to snag anyway, slowly he started scaling the cliff face, careful to avoid falling. As he got closer to the top he thought he heard a chittering sound. He peeked over the edge and found himself facing the back of a yellowish creature floating just off the ground, its wings were the source of the chittering as they beat fast to keep the brave honeying aloft. Hanging by one hand onto the rope, Zariel pulled a poison arrow out of his quiver and drove it into the brave honeying's back, it began to spasm as the poison found its way into its body, the wing it had been pierced through quivered feebly as it continued to attempt to keep the brave honeying aloft. He used the arrow as a handle and yanked the honeying, letting it tumble down the cliff, its descent halted by a sickening thud.

Zariel peeked over the edge again but immediately dropped back down as his eyes analysed what was out there, several slimes of varying types were arranged, ready to close in on the raiding party as soon as they began coming up the ramp, he slipped back down the rope as fast as he could and sprinted back towards the others to relay the news just as they were getting ready to head up the ramp.

[Takimi]

Myelin watched Zariel scale the cliff face, carefully observing his reaction. She gathered her mana, slowly conserving her energy and gaining her health back at a steady, but slow rate. Standing up slowly she set her staff on the ground again, standing proudly.

[T3h_SyN]

Kitone stabbed her claymore into the ground and rested against it, she needed to come off the adrenaline high the last battle had given her. She watched as Zariel nimbly scaled the cliff-face.

"A little recon never hurt anyone.." Kitone thought to herself. She looked around for the others and spotted Myelin standing up, looking at Zariel climbing the cliff face. Kitone turned and looked the other way and saw Valcross, resting on his knee and holding his head. She could see he was hurt, but that lack of much blood showed told her that it wasn't a serious wound. She pulled herself to her feet.and walked over.

She held out her hand to the paladin and asked him, "You doin okay there buddy?

[autarchaurzel]

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel skidded to a halt in front of the others, huffing and puffing. "Ambush," was all he managed before he had to take several more deep breaths. Once he'd composed himself he started again, "There's at least a dozen of them, they're ready to ambush us as soon as we ascend the ramp, there's probably more on the other side but I couldn't see." He watched each of their reactions as he sat down to give his heart time to slow down.

[saint_attila]

"I'm fine." Valcross mumbled as he dropped his shield on the ground. Using his now free hand, he fumbled through his armor for something. "Where is it?" He asked no-one in particular as he tried to find what he was looking for. His fingers felt something sharp and glass like, prompting a quick grin. Valcross removed his hand from his armor and looked at what he had pulled out. A blue stone, hardly any wider than one of his fingers, lay flat in his hand. "This'll fix everything." He mumbled as he brought his hand up and tossed the stone in his mouth. A few loud crunches later, a soft blue glow shone around Valcross.

Using his hammer as a crutch, Valcross pushed himself upright before clapping his hands together and raising them to the sky again. The light shone down on him and the pain in his head disappeared. "See?" He said to the fighter lady. "I'm fine."

(( :O And as for the stone thing, that is always how I've thought they worked.))

Near the base of the slimes hill, Knivy gazes over the bodies of uncountable slimes. Dang it, I guess I am too late to destroy the slimes. Then, a few seconds later he sighs Oh well, they always miss a few. In a week or two they will be back to full strength.

As he starts to walk away, faint sounds of fighting floated down to Knivy. He paused for a moment to be sure of it, then started sprinting towards the gates. He wasnt going to miss out on destroying the ones who poison the rivers and forests. Passing through the second set of gates, he was suprised at the completeness of the destruction of the slimes. He hadn't even had to string his bow.

Just before coming into sight of the attackers, Knivy decides that it wouldnt hurt to wait a little while before joining the group, just to be sure that they are any good. It wont do to offer help to those who wont take it. Waiting a few moments wont kill me. He thought to himself, then smiling but it might kill them!

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin looked over her shoulder, and noticed an archer just standing there. She quirked an eyebrow and shrugged her shoulders. Not her fault if he was going to be more of a hindrance than a help. She squared her shoulders and stalked forwards a bit, coming even with Zariel as he arrived back. "What do you see?"

[T3h_SyN]

{{Yep, I'm still here. Just had a lot of work to do this past week.

@Knivy: HAI!!1!}}

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

Kitone looked at Valcross, just looking him over to make sure he was as okay as he said he was. When she confirmed his well being she turned and started back to Myelin, pulling a small piece of jerky out of her pocket. She stood beside the mage chewing at the meat. She tapped the mage on her shoulder, "So what's the plan?"

AS Kitone waited for Myelin to answer she got the sudden feeling that she was being watched, but then Zariel returned. The next move would soon be made.

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


"I'm not sure, I'm waiting on Zariel, he just came back from scouting." She looked at Kitone for a second, then turned her attention back to Zariel. Waiting, it seemed, while he gathered his thoughts.

[ILiKePieLoRDoFKNiVeS]

http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m409/hollyoftheknife/elf_archer7001-1.jpg

Why dont they just get on with it? Then he saw an archer come around the corner, and new he would be trouble. Deciding that it would be better to wait with a confrontation with this mysterious man, Knivy backed around the corner, out of sight of the attackers, and pulled out a scroll. Reading the incantation inscribed on it, he wispered the spell and the scroll disolved. A slight barrrier on his leather armor, offering some protection from attacks. Suficiently prepared, he started climbing the cliff to the next level.

IC: "Sorry I just ... thought I felt something," Zariel shuddered before beginning again, "Anyway I'd say if we go charging up there blindly they'd have us surrounded, no way we can take on 20 enemies at once, even with that extra guy standing behind me!" Zariel raised his voice on those last three words, making the man behind jump in suprise. "If some of us climb up the side we can distract them and hopefully allow everyone else to make it up the ramp safely, we can't give them the advantage of controlling the high ground after all can we." He looked at each face, curious as to whether they'd go along with his plan simply because he wasn't used to having to explain things to anyone.

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


"I like that idea, but I can't be in the "advance party."" Myelin giggled a little, and resettled her grip on her staff, anticipating the coming fight.

[autarchaurzel]

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel looked at Myelin quizically before saying, "Because it's unlady-like?" He raised the tone of his voice a little at the end but not so much that it sounded like he was making fun of her. Two people volunteered from behind, a fighter and a cleric who joined Zariel's side while he looked at Kitone and Valcross waiting for their response, while the archer that had been trying to sneak up on them, or so Zariel had assumed, came closer as he listened to the conversation.

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


She giggled. "No, because I can't take much damage before I can't help at all. After you loose so much, you know, you get teleported back. They don't want the group to be "hindered" by injured people." She smiled. "It's okay, the majority of the DD's can stay here, while the hardier of us go distract."

[ILiKePieLoRDoFKNiVeS]

http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m409/hollyoftheknife/elf_archer7001-1.jpg

About halfway up, knivy noticed that the attackers were preparing for an assaut. Abandoning his climb, he jumped back to the ground and walked up to them. They probably wouldnt like it if he attacked just before them. Coming up to a Mage, he asked, "Do you mind if I join you guys?"

[autarchaurzel]

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel grabbed the archer by the arm and yanked him along, "We're going to ambush the enemy, you're coming." He made to protest but hushed up when he noticed the poison coated arrow Zariel was removing from his quiver. There was a cap on which he pulled off as they reached the base of the rope he'd left. The poison started glowing a greenish/teal as it came into contact with air. He watched as the archer's eyes were glued to the arrow. Zariel grinned and said, "You dont want to be touching this, it'll paralyze you before you can blink." Without another word he put the shaft between his teeth and slung his bow before grabbing onto the rope and starting his ascent.

[T3h_SyN]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

Kitone stood with Knivy at the base of the rope watching Zariel climb up at a fairly rate. She wiped the last bit of ratman blood off her claymore, flicking it onto the ground before she sheathed it. She turned and looked back at the other group of players and besides from Myelin she wasn't entirely confident in their abilities to hold to to any possible ambush the monsters may have planned. Kitone knew that in the chaos of bettle even some of the best laid plans go awry. Turning to Knivy she said, "I'll hang back with the other group for some added protection. I'm really a bit worried about them, well not Myelin so much, just the rest of them." Before Knivy could retort Kitone had already began walking back towards the group.

"I guess I better go with him." Glancing back at the fighter once, then pulled out three of his knives and a small pouch filled with a light liquid. Dipping the knives in the pouch, he chanted something inaudible, then returned the knives to his belt. Looking up and seing the archer looking at him menacingly and motioning him to hurry, Knivy started to climb, but he didnt use the rope.

[autarchaurzel]

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel muttered under his breath, "Show off." Without a second thought he reached over the top of the cliff and pulled himself up. There was two gold slimes just in front of him, focussed intently at the ramp and hadn't noticed the four people that had clamboured up behind them. Zariel motioned for everyone to hide behind the nearest boulders. Everyone ducked down while Zariel silently stooped down and grabbed a stone. He weighed it up in his hand for a moment before hurling it towards the party below. It landed in front of them and one looked up searching for the source. When he spotted Zariel, the sign was given and everyone got ready to charge the ramp while the four already up got ready to take out the slimes from behind. Zariel quickly ducked behind the boulders himself before whispering to the others, "Ready? Show time right aboouuut ..." he strained his ears listening for the beginnings of the sounds of battle."

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


"Hahahahahaha!" Myelin let out a somewhat disturbing laugh and hurled a firebolt directly into the middle of the slimes. "You think you can defeat me?!" She let spell after spell fly, careful to dodge around the slimes, confident that the cleric was backing her up. She ran into the middle, using her presence to attract many of the monsters. She glanced up, watching the Zariel jump down behind the slimes as she attracted their attention in a different direction. "Come and get me you icky slimes!"

[autarchaurzel]

Zariel fired the paralysing arrow at the slime closest to Myelin, as soon as the arrow pierced the slime's back it stopped mid bounce and collapsed to the ground, he quickly knocked another and fired at the second closestslime, giving it the same effect. Another slime turned it's attention to where the arrows were coming from, Aurzel started firing off arrows one after the other, barely letting one leave the string of his bow before he pulled another from the quiver.

He began backing up as two more slimes appeared behind the pincushioned one. He kept firing at one but before he could finish it off his foot found itself hanging in mid air, he didn't need to look behind himself as he withdrew it to know he'd reached the edge of the cliff. The slimes were getting closer. Zariel shifted his foot over the edge of the cliff, seemingly testing as the slimes came almost within striking distance. He fired one last arrow before jumping backwards over the edge of the cliff and dropping out of sight.

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin looked over as she saw the first arrow hit a slime she'd attracted. She found Zariel's face and winked at him, turning around to fire off a Lightening Blast at a slime nearby. She smiled grimly, throwing spells where she could. A flutter of fabric attracted her attention. She looked over right when Zariel jumped off the cliff. Her shout was lost in the clamor, as she rushed to the edge, watching slimes drop off the edge with him.

[ILiKePieLoRDoFKNiVeS]

http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m409/hollyoftheknife/elf_archer7001-1.jpg

Seeing the mage run off towards Zariel without paying any attention to her back at all, Knivy cursed and pulled out three of his specialy prepared knives and stuck his bow back into his quiver, made specialy to fit both arrows and strung bow. He threw one of them at the slimes following the mage, then ran into the middle of them, knowing he had to make it fast or he would be crushed.

ooc: handy since kit is mia lol

As Myelin rushed to the place where Zariel had jumped off several arrows came soaring over the edge of the cliff, they didn't strike anything but they did scatter the slimes that had been advancing. As Myelin looked over the edge of the cliff, the first thing she noticed was the squished forms of the slimes that had followed over the cliff, taking the full impact of the fall. Then she saw Zariel dangling by the grapling rope, he'd found the hook when he'd been sweeping his foot along the cliff edge. He'd managed to find a couple of appropriate foot holds and had fired up into the battle where he'd seen the most slimes before he'd jumped.

Seeing Myelin he scrambled back up and over the cliff's edge to find the battle still going in full swing. He fired an arrow at a nearby slime before turning to Myelin. "What are you doing here? We need everyone fighting," he said, adjusting his bow string which had snapped in the fall and the newly strung one hadn't been set tightly enough.

[T3h_SyN]

Kitone shook her head lightly, bringing her back to reality.

"Damn it Kit, now's not the time to wonder if the white slimes taste like vanilla gelatin..." Kitone thought to her self while she looked towards the sound that had snapped her out of her own world. A group of players were running towards the edge of a cliff face right behind a bunch of slimes jumping off it.

"Well... you don't see that everyday. I wonder whats-" Kitone said to herself but her words were cut short as a large boar hustled past her towards the lone archer who was fighting a bunch of slimes with, which surprised Kitone, knives. The boar was dead set on relieving the archer of his live while his prey was preoccupied with the group of slimes in front of him. Kitone had to act fast.

She threw down her claymore, it's weight would bog her down and she might not make it to the archer in time. She started sprinting, her pace faster than the boar's, and she was gaining on it fast. She drew the short sword from her waist and shouted at the archer, "Duck!" The archer didn't think about it, he just acted. The boar who had reached his target and had his hand poised to strike heard the cry and started looking over his shoulder but there was no way he'd be able to react in time. Kitone charged into the boar with her shoulder, causing him to stumble backwards tripping over the crouched archer finally squashing a slime under its girth.

The other slimes watched as the jelly that once made up a gold slime started seeping out from under the boar then turning back their attention to the duo. The boar began to stand up, growling heavily, quite irritated that its ambush had failed. Kitone turned to the knife wielding archer and said, "Ready for this?"

[FlaredanceR]

Kyo walked through Roumen, holding his sword over his shoulder. He looked at the Town Chief and realized he had just missed signups for the kingdom quest. "Next round I guess..." He set his sword next to him and sat down, humming a little to himself

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin looked at him and gave him a flat stare. "Excuse me for being worried. You looked as if you just fell off the cliff, most people would think you had fallen to your death." She flipped her head around and stalked back over to the fight, purposefully ignoring him as she searched for a suitable target. She noticed Kitone and that archer facing the boar. He looked awfully big... She concentrated, and flung her hand back, summoning her Lightening Blast again, throwing various other spells after it towards the boar, determined to help wheedle its strength down so Kitone could take it out.

EDIT: CURSE YOU TAKI!!!}

Nodding to Kitone, Knivy stuck his knives back in his boots and belt then pulled out his bow. "Lets get them." Then started making living, make that dead quivers out of the slimes while Kitone held them back from him. After finishing with the knot of slimes, he faced the boar, who was still recovering from the hit Kit gave it, suprised that the mage had already started on it. "Thanks, I would have been as squishy as those slimes if you hadnt helped."

[FlaredanceR]

{OOC: Hi people ^_^}
Kyo looked around and stoped halfway through the song he was humming. He jumped up excitedly and started running toward the town's exit and said, "I completly forgot I was asked to kill some slimes!!! Ahh!" He ignored the looks he got from some of the people in town and stoped when he reached the field where the slimes were. He walked up to the closest one and quickly stabbed the slime through the center, leaving it no time to react. He sighed and said "One down... countless more to go..."

Zariel spoke smugly to Myelin as she turned away from him, "I'm not an ordinary person though." He immediately set about killing the closest slime which was, too his amusement, bouncing on the prone form of a mage which unwisely had gone running towards it. By the time the slime was dead the mage had dissappeared. Undoubtedly the protective magics that kept people from dieing on these dangerous quests had been triggered, dragging the unforunate person back to Roumen.

"Well we're down to ten, eleven if you count Mr. 'Big Knife' over there," Zariel said, indicating the well within earshot archer who seemed to have just thrown several knives like boomerangs.

[Takimi]

Narrowing her eyes at him, Myelin stepped to the side as a small slime flew out of nowhere and smacked straight into Zariel. Giggling lightly as he flailed trying to get it off his face, she zapped it with a Magic Arrow and watched it melt off his face, slowly dripping down like goo. "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you could dodge that, you are special after all..." She moved to the side, coming around behind Kitone as they finished off that boar. "I believe... we're at the end. One more level, that is, the King Slime."

[FlaredanceR]

{Epic slime killing quest ftw xP}
Kyo brought his sword down once again, cutting the sime in front of him in two. He looked at his sword, then at himself and said, "Ugh... these things always get somthing on me..." and brushed a bit of slime from his shoulder. Finnaly I can turn this quest in and get paid for it... he thought to himself. He walked slowly back to Roumen and then quickly ran over to Grandpa Robin. He walked away, a shiney new silver in his pocket, and once again went over to sit near the Town Chief. "Just over seven hundred slimes and for one silver... I need to increase my rates."

Kitone pulled her sword out of the chest of the now slain boar and flicked the blood it before sheathing it once more. She turned to the archer and said, "That was fun uhh... I never got your name," she offered her hand to him, "I'm Kitone."

Zariel rolled his eyes and said, "I was more worried about the prince slime right next to you than this little fire slime." He tried to flick the remains of his boots as he wiped the rest off his face. "Maybe next time I won't bother." Without another word he spun round on his heel and stooped at the edge of the cliff to retrieve his grappling hook and stowed it again before he was ready to continue on, wondering half-heartedly whether anyone would offer him something to target her. He quickly emptied his thoughts though and remembered the job he did have and when he'd get a chance to carry it out, as he walked silently in the direction everyone else was heading.

"I'm Knivy, nice to meet you" Knivy walked over towards the rest of the group. And just before getting there, he noticed they were missing a person, and asked Kitone. "Wasnt there another guy with you guys?"

Myelin glared over her shoulder, then her face softened. She really didn't need to be so mean, she's apologize later, right now they needed to concentrate on the task at hand. She walked up to Knivvy and looked him over. "My name is Myelin, we really need to get going, time is running out. Look, we cleared out most of the minions, so the King Slime should be open to an attack. Who is tanking?" She looked the group over, then noticed her own ragged breaths and sat down, recovering her energy a little bit.

[ILiKePieLoRDoFKNiVeS]

http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m409/hollyoftheknife/elf_archer7001-1.jpg
"Um... I volunter Kitone." Knivy said, slowly edging his way behind Kit. "Just make sure to keep them off me" Then, turning to the mysterious archer who still hasnt told knivy his name, said "We should make sure we didnt miss any, just one getting behind us could be deadly"

[T3h_SyN]

Kitone walked slowly over to her claymore, partly to look cool but mostly to catch her breath. A small group stood around it, watching a fighter trying to pick it up. Kitone snickered loudly and took the handle from him and hefted the blade up and onto her shoulders.

She turned back to Myelin and Knivy and said, "Sure, I'll tank. But I can only guarantee that I'll hold em off you guys if I get proper support, especially from the clerics. But first..." Kitone pulled out a scrolls from her pocket and read the incantation on it. A blue glow surrounded her momentarily then faded away almost as quickly as it appeared. Kitone spoke again, "Okay, I have about an hour before this scrolls magic wears off, you guys ready?"

[autarchaurzel]

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel shrugged and said, "I dont mind working alone so I'll go check if we missed any while you guys deal with the rest guarding the ramp up to the King Slime if that's ok with the rest of you." He sat for a moment against the side of the cliff face leading further up and stretched his legs out for a moment. He unslung his quiver of arrows and pulled out several, examing the tip of each before replacing them while the others talked and planned. After another couple of minutes he stood up, quiver slung securely over his bow and an arrow hanging loosely between his fingers and the bow string, ready to be drawn at a moment's notice.
"Seems there's no objections, I'll be heading off," Zariel said as he kicked a stone over the edge and watched it tumble down before turning to the others and nodding to them.

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin watched as Zariel ran off, concentrating on the task ahead. He could handle himself just fine, she didn't think he needed any back-up. "We'd better get going then." She said, looking around, spotting a slime and threw a lighting bolt at it. The slime sizzled satisfyingly, before charging at her. She threw a few more spells at it, watching it sink to the ground like a deflated balloon after she was done with it.

[FlaredanceR]

Kyo woke up and shook his head a little, looking to see if anyone new had gotten there or if the people from the Kingdom Quest had gotten out yet, and didn't see anything. "If they don't finish up soon they might just run out of time... and that wouldn't be any fun at all..." He got up and started to walk over to the stone seller and got all he could carry, checked his bag to make sure he had scrolls, and then started to talk with some of the people that had just arrived in towns

Kitone watched as Myelin obliterated the Slime. "I think we got 'em all guys, the gate's open!" She shouted as she charged up the ramp ahead of the others, claymore dragging slightly on the ground. The top was empty, aside from the large and foreboding King Slime. Kitone had never seen a slime so big, and paused a bit to observe it move around its quarters before the clearing of a throat brought her back to reality.

She stepped forward, cupping her hands around her mouth and shouted to the slime "Hey Fattie!" The slime looked at her, then to its sides, finally looking at her quizzically. "Yea fattie, I'm talking to you!" Kitone continued, having the desired effect on King Slime. King Slime charged headfirst at Kitone at a speed that she never expected a creature of that size to move at, she barely managed to get her claymore up in time to block the charge. Even though the claymore took the brunt of the attack Kitone was thrown backwards by the force, rolling along the ground like a ragdoll before crashing into the wall surrounding the hilltop. Some of the other people there looked on in shock as Kitone stood again, visibly shaken by the attack.

It was then she began laughing. At first it was just giggling but slowly it evolved into full-blown maniacal laughter. "Finally," Kitone said with a demented look on her face, "Something worth fighting... I apologize for the insults noble creature, but since you set the standards of attack let me just say... I won't hold back!"

Kitone began walking towards the charging-again King Slime, her sword held firmly in front of her. She was ready for him this time.

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin eyed Kitone carefully and backed up, letting her take the King Slime. She looked over her shoulder, looking for Zariel. She didn't see him, and it worried her a little. IF the gate had opened, there wouldn't be any others would there be? "Knivvy, we should probably get working on those mobs. It seems no one else is..." She fired off a Magic Missle, settling herself down to work on getting rid of the minion-type mobs.

Before turning to the smaller, less important slimes, Knivy selected a arrow with a odd looking head and fired at the king. Before it had hit its target, another arrow with an red liquid on it was already on its way. As he was selecting another target, a white blur flew past in his peripheral vision. Pulling back extra hard, he loosed an arrow at the blur just as he was knocked to the ground. "HELP"

{OOC: To keep the RP alive, im going to post again}

Just after knivy shouted, the giant white slime made a deep gurgling noise, then was hit by a flurry of spells. It was drove back away from Knivy, who was still recovering from the huge hit. As Knivy turned toward Myelin, he pulled up his bow--which was miraculusly undamaged--and fired three arrows past her head. "Thanks, I owe you."

He turned towared Kitone and the King slime, and saw that even though Kitone was holding off the King, she wasnt doing much hurt to it. It even had stopped bleeding from the special arrow he hit it with. Firing another of those special arrows at it along with one of the arrows he had prepared earlier with poison, he put down his bow and pulled out two knives, with an eager glint in his eyes.....

[Takimi]

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin flashed him a smile, happily firing off a few more spells. "We squisheys need to stick together." She turned towards the King Slime with Knivvy. Aiming carefully, though it wasn't hard, the King Slime was huge, she fired off a flurry of spells. "Die you big glob of goo!"

[FlaredanceR]

{I'm back everyone!! Glad to see the thread is still alive~ well, somewhat.}
Kyo sat down on the railing just behind the fountain that he considered to be in the middle of town and looked out at the water, a bit frustrated that he had nothing to do, and began to drift away in his own thoughts, memories of friends past flashing in his mind.

[T3h_SyN]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

Kitone barley halted her assault on the giant slime, but even she could see she wasn't making much headway. Before she noticed it she was only parrying the attacks of King Slime. She reached into her pocket and grabbed one of the small vials she had checked for earlier, a special potion she had made herself for moments just like this. She planted her claymore into the ground and braced behind it. Quickly she popped the cork out of it and quite literally threw it down her throat.

To the untrained eye it was just a regular healing potion, but it was actually a super-concentrated brew. It worked more than instantly, it practically started working from she removed the stopper. Kitone could feel her energy come back and then some.

King slime 'pounced' at the girl hiding behind the sword, even as Myelin's spells peppered its back, he was pretty intent at killing the fighter. As his weight pushed on the claymore it was met with equal resistance. Kitone stood behind the sword holding it with one hand. She pulled the sword out of the ground and started twirling it as if she was wielding it regularly. She drew the small one-hand from her waist and pointed it at the giant slime saying, "Fine. No more holding back... KYAAA!

The new onslaught that Kitone bore down upon the slime was at least thrice her initial attack. Her attacks were slower, but there was more power behind them. The slashes bore deep grooves in the gelatin body of the slime. "This time," Kitone thought to herself, "You'll go down."

As Kitone pushed the slime back with her attacks she noticed Knivy heading towards her, blades drawn. "Knivy, attack the wound on his flank, I'll keep him distracted. If we can get some poison inside of him, he'll go down in no time!"

[autarchaurzel]

ooc: i suppose i better start from where zariel has been all this time

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel walked quickly along the path of blood and slime goo their battle had marked out. He thought about what he was doing here, tracking a target he told himself but he found himself warming to some of the people here, something he definately didn't intend. He turned as he heard a coughing sound and headed towards it. He came across a mage who was sitting up against a large rock. He was tattered and worn and his arm broken and bleeding from several deep cuts.
"Why haven't the protective magics sent you back to Roumen?" Zariel asked kneeling beside him.
"I don't kn-" the mage began but was seized by another bout of coughing, blood splattered on the floor in front of him with each wretch of his lungs. Zariel held the mage's shoulder to keep him steady while he slowly coughed himself to death, once he had recovered slightly he asked the mage's name. When he heard it though he stood up suddenly and took a step back. The mage looked up at him quizically.
"That's your name? You're sure?" Zariel asked.
"I had it since I was born I think so," he replied and coughed again.
Zariel knelt again and muttered, "Do you believe in fate?"
The mage looked up at him, still confused, he was about to say something till he caught the glint of metal. He was suddenly overcome by another bad bout of coughing and never noticed the small dagger quickly slicing towards him and across his neck.
Zariel carefully lay the corpse on his side and wiped the bloodied dagger on the mage's robes before sheathing it again and stood up. He picked up the staff lieing near by and studied it for a moment. He snapped the staff in half, took the top half and snapped that again, each time cracking sharply over his knee, he made sure the sigil on the piece was undamaged and stored it away out of sight. As he walked away he thought back to the list of people he'd been given. Few people from his little organisation travelled to Isya and when they found out he intended to go there, he suddenly had several clients willing to pay big sums for jobs. He mentally ticked off one name on his list as he walked away.
It was never easy, he thought to himself, but it was how he survived.

"Knivy, attack the wound on his flank, I'll keep him distracted. If we can get some poison inside of him, he'll go down in no time!"
Zariel heard Kitone shouting as he ran up the dirt ramp and saw quite a sight. Myelin was blasting at as many slimes as she could, getting chased by several more as weight of numbers threatened to overwhelm them all while Kitone was just about managing to force the biggest one, the king slime no doubt, back across the way and the new archer was advancing with a pair of knives, though the cleric was no where to be seen. Zariel raised his bow and went to work firing on the slime chasing Myelin, they didn't hurt the slimes much but they gave her a moment to breath as they turned their attention to the new attacker. Then he remembered what Kitone had called out. With the slimes bearing down on him he had precious few seconds to help out but quickly pulled out one of his paralyzing arrows and took aim for the deep gash down the king slime's side. He was acutely aware of the fact that he would be surrounded if he didn't start running in about ten seconds but remained perfectly still as he aimed. Kitone forced the slime back again, it slid across the dirt from a forceful blow and just as it came to a stop, Zariel let his arrow fly. He didn't even have a chance to see the result as he took off around the perimeter of the pallisade lining this top hill, he wondered what effect the arrow would have. On a creature that big the best it would do would be to slow it down fractionally, but every little helped right now. This shot through his mind like the arrow he'd just fired as he ran from the slimes, at least five or six were on his tail and would tackle him to the ground and surround him if he slowed down, he just hoped Myelin would recover in time to help him.

Myelin realized suddenly that the slime behind her wasn't there. She turned her head around, seeing it deflating a few feet from her. She tracked it's progress and noticed Zariel had returned. A smile lit across her face, then she noticed him running from about 4-5 slimes. She giggled a little and threw a Firebolt, hitting one of the slimes.

She drew it off of him, hitching her skirts to run back a little ways and drew it into a corner where she proceded to demolish it. A small gleam shone in her eyes as she turned around and fired a Magic Missle and Lightening Bolt at two more slimes, leaving Zariel with one. She finished them off, trotting lightly towards him after she was finished.

"Hey, I was starting to get worried. I am glad you made it here safely." She flashed a quick smile, then turned to track the rest of the minion's progress. But astonishingly enough, there were no more... It was just them and the King Glob of Goo. A razor thin smile appeared on her face.

Kitone kept slashing at King Slime, though she seemed to be using an unlimited source of energy to power her attacks she could feel the strain on her body. Her muscles practically screamed fatigue, she didn't know how much longer she could keep up this level of attack before her body simply gave up on her.

She peered away from the slime to see the condition of the others. To her surprise the others had managed to kill all of King Slime's minions. She saw Zariel and Myelin heading towards the lone slime. It was then she noticed that King Slime's movements had slowed down considerably. "Ah so Knivy must have reached..." Kitone thought, pausing when she saw one of Zariel's arrows deep within the wound, "Hehe... So he is useful!"

With her enemy weakened she took in a deep breath and began her attacks again with a renewed fervor.

"You didn't think something had happened to me did you?" Zariel returned Myelin's smile and nocked an arrow aiming it at a slime cowering behind the centre pillar, obviously trying to avoid the same fate of its comrades but was quickly turned into a pincushion as several well placed arrows embedded themselves in its body. He turned back to the king slime. Kit was doing her best to keep up her furious assault on it but he wondered for how long, no matter who you were you got tired, he only hoped she would be able to hold on.
"Where's that dam cleric?" Zariel muttered in his own dialect as he prepared to open fire on the king slime.

Myelin looked around worriedly, but saw no Cleric. "I think the Cleric died..." She pivoted around and picked up her skirts, stepping around some debris. She looked at the King Slime and resolutely started firing spells at it. It was slow work, but surely, the King Slime's HP began to drop.

"I wonder..." She murmured, and then keyed into her innate magic that all races were born with, studying her status. She was almost there... if she acquired the kill on this Slime, she could gain more power! Determined, she renewed her efforts furiously. She would pass this level of power!

Knivy threw the knives in his hands, then sprinted behind the King Slime. Just as he reached it, He was almost crushed under it as it was forced back. As he jumped back, he produced two more knives and started cutting it up. Every once in a while, he hit a spot that caused the glob to lose concentration. Noticing an area that seemed to be weaker, he started to attack it when it broke off, and started to form into new slimes, some of them two or three times as wide as he was tall. Realizing he stood no chance - and neither did Kitone if she was forced to deal with them as well as the King - he quickly caught their attention and ran back towards where he put his bow shouting "Mysterious archer guy, lil magie, HEEELLLLPPPPP!"

Zariel saw the other archer grab the attention of several new slimes, they stood taller than any of them and were white from the tip of their slimey head/body to the greyer base below. They all start charging at the archer who started backpedalling, trying to get his bow ready and shouting, "Mysterious archer guy, lil magie, HEEELLLLPPPPP!" Zariel had an arrow laced with poison nocked and fired at the bigger of the three slimes. You could almost hear the sizzling as the acid ate away the slime's skin. It turned towards him and glared before bouncing its way towards him as fast as it could. Zariel turned tail and ran as fast he could while he pulled out another arrow, turned, fired and kept running.

Myelin looked up at the archer's call and abandoned her current project on destroying the King Glob of Goo. She drew one of the slimes off of Knivvy, letting it rush towards her. Firing off a flurry of spells, she brought it down nearly to last health, but was shocked to find herself low on health too.

Dipping her hand into her side pouch, she drew out a small red potion and drank th contents down. She gasped in relief as her health came flooding back to her. She drank another red one, and a blue one. She was definitely ready to go again.

Myelin picked her skirts up and ran towards Zariel, throwing lightening bolt as she went. She stopped a fair distance away and helped him destroy the rest of the slime. She turned her head to the side and noticed a slime had detatched itself from Knivvy and was behind Zariel.

"Zariel, behind you!" Myelin shouted. She threw a Magic Missle, hoping hse was in time.

ooc: i know i sound like i complain a lot (mostly because i want this rp to sound authentic and real) but is it really appropriate to be talking about hp? remember hp is a general measurement of someone's exhaustion as well as physical damage taken (there's a great explanation in my old D&D book which i've found to be very helpful to picture what hp is about i can post that if you want)

http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo46/soulful_plain_strider/1114986862_thumb.jpg

Zariel turned and was almost hit by the slime, he ducked out of the way just as Myelin's magic missile hit the slime, sending it several feet across the ground. He quickly nocked and fired three arrows in quick succession and was returned with a sudden burst of energy as it propelled itself towards him, knocking him to the ground. He groaned in pain as he felt the slime's weight resting on him as he tried to move, pushing all the air out of his lungs. He could feel his ribs bruised from the impact which sent pain shooting through his body.

[Takimi]

{{ I'll edit to feeling tired or something- work it out so it doesn't sound so measured }}
http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff29/TakimiRyumi/Whitemage-1.jpg


Myelin's face looked stricken as she saw the white slime crushing Zariel. Quickly, she yelled at the slime, throwing a Fire Bolt at id to distract the thing from its objective. The slime looked up, and came after her. She took off running, throwing a Lightening Bolt at is as she did, glad of her spell that allowed her to use it while moving.

As she ran, she yelled back towards Zariel, "Are you alright?" She kept running the slime in circles. It felt like she was flying a kite... She laughed at this and thought of how she used to go kiting when she was little. Myelin thought the term somewhat appropriate here. She was "kiting" a slime! Oh, the hilarity.

[T3h_SyN]

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f58/Tru_SyN/n685194039_5278.jpg

King Slime had slowed his attacks considerably, he was obviously on his last legs, so to speak. With the distant gaps between his attacks Kitone had time to look around for her comrades. She spotted Myelin gleefully running in circles, slime in tow, plastering it with a variety of spells. She watched as Knivy helped Zariel to his feet, he looked a little shaken and a lot bruised. She embedded the claymore into the ground and continued to dodge and parry King slime with the short sword as she felt around in the pocket.

"One... Two... Three... Four. Good, I can spare one" She thought to herself as she counted the vials in her pocket. She drew the first one out and said, "Oi Knivy! Catch!" as she threw it in his general direction. She listened for the sound of glass breaking and since no such sound came she assumed he, or Zariel, caught it.

"Let Zariel have a mouthful, A mouthful. That's a potion of my own making. I made 'em tailored to my body's limits so I don't know if his body, or any of you for that matter, can handle an entire bottle in one go. That single mouthful should heal whatever's ailing him, without causing him any 'complications'." Kitone said as she redrew her claymore and continued pummeling the last flames of life out of the Slime in front of her.

Myelin finally finished off the slime she was "kiting" and slowed down, turning her body to face the scene. She wished again that she had some sort of healing art, but she had none. Finding herself unable to help, she turned to the King Slime and began throwing spells. It was high-time that this King Glob of Goo was done with!

[ILiKePieLoRDoFKNiVeS]

http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m409/hollyoftheknife/elf_archer7001-1.jpg

Catching the potion tossed by Kitone, and seing that Zariel was ok for a bit, he took a small sip and instantly felt revitalized. He then ran over to Zariel and handed it to him, giving Kitone's warning. Seeing that Myelin was already aiding in the distruction of the King, Knivy picked up his bow and started adding piercing arrows to the mages spells.

Zariel grabbed the potion handed him and gulped some down without thinking, he'd drunk at least a quarter of the strange tasting concoction and started to feel the effects the moment the first drop touched his tongue. He stoppered the vial as quickly as possible before he seemed to almost lose control of his muscles. He was up and his arms seemed to move of their own accord has he nocked an arrow and fired, his arms moving almost as a blur. He also barely realised that his bruises and pains were disappearing almost miraculously.

Myelin looked towards Zariel and smiled, seeing him up and going. She quickly turned back towards the Slime and concentrated. His health was quite low, any hit would do it. She picked her most powered-up spell and timed it to one of Zariel's arrows and Kitone's hits. The combined result splattered green goo everywhere. Ducking fast, she stood up slowly after green chunks flew past her head. She looked around and saw no danger. "I think it's over?" She walked over to the others and stood gingerly.

A guard came running up and stopped near them gasping. Myelin eyed him, wondering why he hadn't come sooner. He gasped a little more, remindeing her of a fish, then stood up. "Guardsman Torkey here! I have brought the materials to take you back to the Town of Roumen!"

"...and you couldn't come earlier to help?" Myelin's dry voice replied. She watched him make fish-like mouth movements before trying to set up the 'port circle. She winced as he knocked a crystal out of alignment then pushed him aside and set it up herself. "Just let the mage do it..."

ooc: I apologise if some people don't like this post but I feel this kq has gone on much longer than necessary so I think it's best for us all, as well as the poor guy that didnt make it in time, if we get out. Oh btw, in case you didn't figure out from my post, those guards that arrive just as the kq ends ... i hate 'em.

Zariel caught the guard as he stumbled from the shove, looking him over as he continued to gasp for air almost comedically. He let go of the guard who promptly collapsed onto the ground.
"Oh leave him," Kitone said moving towards Myelin.
"Yeah I was going to," Zariel replied.
Those of them surviving gathered near Myelin, waiting for her to begin the incantation to take them all back to Roumen.
"What happened to that cleric that was with you guys when I showed up?" Knivy asked.
"I don't know, I think he got pulled out," Myelin said as she finished the circle.
"Mhm I remember him getting knocked about by a few slimes," Kitone said, wiping the last of the goo off her swords.
"Ok I think that's the last of it we should be rea-" Myelin was cut off by Zariel's raised hand.
"Do you hear something ... or rather not hear something?" there were a few shrugs as Zariel reached down to his waist and seruptitiously unsheathed his dagger. He waited with his dagger half raised and seemed to wait for nothing. A moment later there was the sound of angry screams. Zariel pivoted on his heel and slashed out in a wide arc with his dagger, slicing the neck of the guard who seemed so pitiful a moment ago, now with a broadsword raised ready to cut through the closest person.
Myelin looked down at the dead guard as he fell on his face, "How did you know?"
"I heard him stop panting while you were talking, no one recovers that quickly," Zariel replied matter of factly, "Can we get out of here now?"
"Ye-ah ... everyone in the circle," as soon as everyone crossed the boundary Myelin finished the incantation and there was a yellowish white light which gave them all a sense of light weightedness before they all touched down again near the Roumen fountain.

ooc: where is anyone, get to it peoples

{{ I'm waiting on someone else other than me =x }}

[FlaredanceR]

{Hey everyone I'm back~}
Kyo looked over and saw a bunch of people teleporting into the town, obviously from the last kingdom quest. He stood up and shouted loud enough for the entire town to hear and asked, "Uh... Anyone want to make a party for quests?"

[autarchaurzel]

ooc: hell no we aint doin another! O_O

[Takimi]

{{ That's what I was about to say... }}

Myelin finished the incantation, seeing everything freeze for second, then a sudden pulling. She opened her eyes and was instantly dizzy. She wobbled a bit, then fell to the left, on top of Knivvy. "Oh, ouch, I'm sorry!" She mumbled a quaint little elven curse under her breath, not happy she had fallen over.

She looked around, and recognized they were back in Roumen. The Town Chief was looking immensely pleased at their work and there were many just milling around. She rubbed her ear as the town-wide shout hit her ears. That wasn't something she was used to...

ooc: feel free to join in or not, i can handle myself solo for a while if the story splits

Zariel reached a hand out to steady Myelin as he saw her stumble onto Knivy, as he helped her up he closed his eyes in frustration as he heard the booming shout echoing down the streets.
"I guess someone missed the kingdom quest," Zariel said rolling his eyes. "I don't know about you guys but after that I need somewhere to sit and something to eat so I'm off to look for an inn, I enjoyed our little adventure, quite useful all in all." With that Zariel headed off down the main thoroughfare of the town, looking left and right among the buildings for anywhere where he could get food.

{OoC: Well damn, I missed king slime's death... surprise vacations suck.}

Kitone closed her eyes and breathed in deeply, she wallowed in the scent of the salty sea air. She felt the numbing ache of the muscles in her arms and an even more pronounced one in her stomach. She heard Zariel mention something about an inn and even more importantly, food.

"Hey Zariel," Kitone called out, opening her eyes, "I know a place. There's an inn in the upper part of Roumen, it's right beside Healer Julia's place. I'll lead the way after I collect my reward from that quest."

A short walk later her coin bag was filled with coins and she was on her way to the inn, making a short stop at the town's questing board, simply a bulletin board that had quests that people needed done. She glanced over a few of them, puling down ones that caught her eye and folded them up and put them in her pocket. She'd read them properly after a good meal.

"Maybe," She thought while eyeing the group she just worked with and the lone fighter shouting for a party, "They'll wanna come."

[FlaredanceR]

Kyo stopped shotuting and thought to himself, Guess I'll be questing alone today... I should get some potions... and maybe some of those stones from Julia He started walking over to the quest board when he saw someone looking at him. He walked up to her and smiled, then said, "Hi. My name is Kyo. What's yours?"

[T3h_SyN]

Kitone turned to the fighter, sizing him up before she replied. Holding out her hand she said "My name's Kitone. You must be the guy who's looking for questing partners." Usually by this point she'd challenge him to a fight but the aches in her body advised her against it. "Anyway I've gotta a few quests here," she continued motioning to her pockets, "I'm gonna head to an inn to meet up with a few friends and see if they wanna take one, tomorrow of course. We're all bushed from taking down king slime. If you want you can come along too... the more the merrier."

[FlaredanceR]

He shook her hand, and decided that he should make some scrolls for tomorrow. "Alright then. I'll probably be around the fountain tomorrow." He started to walk to a somewhat quiet place near Julia and started to focus the limited magic he, and the other people who took up scroll making, stone making, or any other side profession, had to start making some sheild increase & aim scrolls.

{The comp/decomp and etc are gonna be just like the HUD thing stated a few pages back, since thats what I came up with ^^ lol}

Myelin hurried after Zariel and fell into step with him. "So, do you have any idea of an inn nearby? I haven't really ever been here before." She spotted a small inn tucked behind a merchant and gestured to it. "That looks fairly nice, not overbooked, quiet. Do you want to check it out?"
