Re: Thread VII: Family matters
Water Hornet listened with a thoughtful look. 'So, yet another Magnakai is here,' he thought to himself. When Sun Fox finished, he looked around, looking each of the Kai and the Drakkarim leader in the eye.
"These are strange times indeed," Water Hornet shook his head and smiled at something only he knew, then continued, looking mainly at Silver Raven, "and if these Drakkarim have your trust...they have mine, too."
The Magnakai hesitated for one more second, then spoke: "Now, to answer questions... During my mission, beyond the Tentarias I have encountered the group of Ceners. Following them I have come here - they are the group battling the Acolytes of Vashna right now. I, too, have learned they are seeking this Deathstaff. Unfortunately, I do not know why, but that they want it is reason enough to prevent them from reaching their goal. Besides, I have also learned they are too in league with other servants of darkness...and that is not a good sign at all." Again, he looked at the leader of Drakkarim group: "I suppose this is a time for strange alliances."
Water Hornet paused to let his words sink, then moved to the task at hand. "The fighting the Ceners started is merely a dstraction. It should draw out and occupy as many Acolytes as possible. The leader of the group has send one specific druid to steal the Deathstaff. His name is Yugash, he is quite young, but don't let that fool you - he seems to be a very capable infiltrator. He has donned garments of some Vashnites' so will be all the harder to find. There is also another Cener - Baghar - if you see a druid literally emitting colorful smoke, kill him fast and, most importantly, do not inhale the fumes coming from him. Apart from Vazhag, there are also armoured soldiers with them - so-called White Tigers. You will know them by the symbol of a tiger on their armour and by their white hair," Hornet gave a wry smile at these words, but it quickly disappeared as he went on. By now he was talking as much to the Kai as to the Drakkarim. "They are one of the best fighters I've ever seen - do not try to intimidate them," Hornet was talking to Drakkarim, but looked significantly at his Kai brothers and sister, "they do not know fear or fatigue. Fight smart and fight dirty. And beware of their staves - those are capable of shooting rays of energy." Hornet emphasized his words by raising his cloak for everybody to see the piece of it having been burnt away. "There's also a woman with the Ceners who can cast balls of fire...but she seems not to be from Ruel. And perhaps because of that it seems she is not so ready to die for their cause."
Water Hornet stopped to draw a breath and sort his thoughts. "One of the Vashnites' leaders talked about their High Priest. I think he will be the one carrying the Deathstaff - we have to find him before the young Cener, Yugash, does. I propose we use the chaos to sneak into the temple, steal the Deathstaff and disappear before both the Acolytes of Vashna and the Ceners are after us."
