Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

This time about, Riku stayed close and very too herself.  She was too at odds with herself to make much conversation.  Even so, she took note of the concerns about being watched and she too returned a protective eye over the group that departed with Kree.  Though quiet, it kept her mind busy instead of rummaging through the shoulds and should nots of what had occurred.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

Justin noticed the flighty lass appeared to be less talkative than she normally was. After a short time he gave a shrug, concluding that if she had something on her mind she'd seek Kashteil's, Diana's or Laithia's council.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

  Kree, Riku, Luth, and Justin ( thus far?) headed to the door.

  Ivy was finishing his  meal and drink as he , Liathia, looked to see who was going with them

 One of the Arrow servers  stopped Kree a few steps from the table,..the elf  Mage? He seems to be having some problems...we put him up in a room..Ani Gave him some herbs..he'll be out a while..but...i don't think he would be able to function much anyway?

 Kree frowned , placing a hand on the girl's shoulder, You and Ani did well..keep an eye on him...i think his eyes were opened..too wide...too soon...he might  be more suited to the sage guild..or as an assistant  in the  mage Guild..  the  girl smiled  and  went back to her  serving

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

(( because of the type of area's the two groups are going, I am going to assume Rolf will go with Ivy..since it is more 'wild'..the the stuffy Temple section? if I am wrong  we can easily shift him...I am also assuming Foril will go with Laithia , and Ivy..if I am wrong on any of these..please tell me in PMs  and i'll make  adjustments IC.))

  Kree, moves out the Door with  Luthien, Justin and Riku..they turn back up the docks , the last of the sun is about to fall below the walls..the lamp lighters can still be seen doing their jobs, as they look out over a half-mile, to see the  dots of light  flick on ..they can see the Navy yard, the top of the Palace, and off further, the tops of  some of the temples...a lot of trees are there..Even on the  Rising Mound of   THE Iron Mound...tinylights frame a few  Holes in the Mound that the Dwarves use  for entrances...but the main entrance is at street level, not able to be seen from this side of the river.


  IVy's  Group waits a good 5 minutes, and Ivy places the glass he used on the table. Reedrick looks at them,don't hafta  worry about yer cousin..he's not about  to take anything from no one...you be careful..ya hear?...  Ivy nods with a grin, Reedrick give a look to Laithia ,and a sad wink...then head back to his  office  through the kitchen door.  Laithia, Di , Rolf  and Foril gather their things  and move out.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

  The walk up the  dock, to the River path, Kree points at a couple small side streets they pass, saying,..Tha way takes you to the open market area...alot of Common folks live around there  as well...in the uppper North west corner is the Orc section..its walled off  by a Palisade...but  next to the wall..the orcs have  pledged to defend that corner of the wall..should they ever break their treaty?..the whole town would be burnt to the ground...saddly? They have lived up to their word, more then most of the Humans i have deal with...

 as if on Cue, One of the Orc  carts come down the river path..they are loading the bodies of the dead Guards and  one Halfling  on the cart...down in the river , there is  still smaller serpents snapping at the bits  and pieces,left from the other.   Orcs make good coin, hauling the dead away..most times they get some of the body's  belonings  as well..to sell or use...you would be surprised, what you can by in the Orc's market section...if you dare enter...

 Troops are seen in the distance , marching down the  Avenue towards the Seagate,Kree points to the  wide road as they near itChanging the guard...those troops will have the watch until the sunrises...

  As they went up the Docks, the Inn just at the top of the docks is called 'dockside rest'..it, like all the inns and bars at he  docks, seems pretty full, many folks even eating or  drinking outside  sitting on stools or crates.

  as they walk up the River path, and to the street they came down before they see shops, that are still open ( most shops are open around the clock)..the first is  "ships ahoy" he rents and repairs  boats  and ships, up to the size of schooners.

  abit further  up the pass a shop that simpoly says.."furs".. right now a pair of Men , who look like they could be Rolf's kin,are leaving the shop with a pouch of coin and talking in a garbled thick tongue...the last shop the past before getting to the North-west ( and North East) way is called  'Lamps and LAnterns"..they sell all manner of lighting.

 They walk past the Inn on the  Northeast corner called  'Merchant's rest'...across the Ave they see another  Inn called  "the Bridge Inn" that one is overly crowded, even from where they stand they can see that... a large sign, lit by magic ..down to th the northwest says " Kron's Equipment'...one of the largest stores in the city...some of you might remember seeing branches in Bowshop and Tou..there is a small 'stall' in  Kree's Village..it was all they would allow the  Human-Halfling run company...they turn to their left, heading south ..they notice the signs  by the Bridge..on the North side of the Bridge the sign says 'Northwest way'...on the other side of the Bridge, the sign says 'Southwest way'..one would assume the other  end of  town would be the same...they continue past areas  familiar now as they see the  Main gate coming up on their right, and The Road  Of Kings, on their left....

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

   Ivy leads the Team out the door and to the East, down the docks...they pass the  "Bronze Goblet'..which, like  the other ins..is packed now, and will only get more business as the night goes on. East Bank Street..leads  directly to the Bazarre ..Trader's Rest..another  dockside bar is on the  corner of that street..they pass' Cor's Pawn Shop'..a place where many items end up, when adventure folk need coin..'.Boats and Things'..is next, they sell small fishing  boats  and fishing gear for both  fisher men, and  those who fish for fun. ' Sabre's Inn' is next..another packed  inn..the sign, is alot like  The Plank's..magic in nature..it shows a Sailor Stabbing a Kraken and putting up both arms in victory..then and arm grabs him..it then resets and does it again...to the north, they see the walls of the Prison and its shipyard..lights are on as the prisoners work around the clock, in shifts,,a small park is  on this side of the prison, a lot  of tress and  flat grass...there is a line of  small houses there...

 Ivy points to them,we shall stop at Laithia's first, so she may check on her house  some of the people who own or rent the other houses watch the group walking towards the houses. It is nothing new to see groups of armed folks walking about..they come to Laithia's house...the Door is half hanging off the  hinges..a sign..in common says This building will be taken over  by the Ironmound housing  company if not contacted by... the date is scrimmbled and smudged, the best any one could make out was..two days from now...

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

Laithia hugs Reedrick whispering a thanks to him for answering her questions. As they walk through the streets and get closer and closer to her small house, the knots in her stomach tighten. Her steps even slow a bit as they reach her street.

When she sees the door hanging off the hinges, she lets out a strangled cry. Her hand shakes as she takes the note off the door, her mind trying to decipher what it means. Tears roll down her face, as she hands the note to Foril and pushes the door open not really wanting to see what was taken or destroyed but needing to know. She had clothes here and a few items that were her mom and dad's. Her father's bow was here along with her mother's hunting knife. Her parent's wedding bands were here as well as she tries to take in the state of her place and where to look first.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

Foril cast another spell, detect magic to be precise... he would learn shortly if there was magic active or recently so, on the place, though it might take a little study to determine the specifics, "Just a moment.  There's clearly been time for someone to take valuables left here unless they were well hidden... if they suspected you left anything they couldn't find, they'd leave traps or ambushes.  Though if the bitter miss really thinks your as trampy as she touts, then she really wouldn't think you'd come back."

Foril gestures to the dagger that has stood out to him thanks to his temporary gift to sense magical auras, "It looks like the damage was likely done by physical power rather than magic.  That dagger yours?"

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

  Ivy and His group return to the Plank, Reedrick see Nara  and he furrows His Brow, Motioning the Group to the stairs, that lead to the   Basement.


  As they moved  down  the steps, they could hear More noise, there were several large, stoneworked, rooms. each with a double door...most of the rooms were empty, though one had a group of Arrows  talking and going over  Maps.

  Reedrick  sent  Ivy's group to the  last  meeting room down the Dwarven made hall,

 so? Whatcha got  here..and  why didja brink the vamp here.?


  Ivy  motioned for NAra to sit, Nara  was scouting for Kree..she has found out some news..that may . aid us..in out  next steps...

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

Laithia was quiet during the trip back to the Plank. Her mind was taken up with everything that had happened. She had lost a lot in her life but this last was something that left a bitter taste in her mouth. Her hand went to the knife, the only thing left now of her parents, as anger welled within her. She would pay that woman back if it was the last thing she did! While Calise grew old and withered, Laithia would remain young and beautiful and she would spend the time making the human woman pay for her actions.

Reedrick's words bring Laithia's attention to the present as she looks around the room they are now in. Her green eyes flit over to Nara, studying the vampire as she leans against the wall. Turning to Foril, she offers the elf a small smile as they wait for Kree's group to return to the Plank.

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

His return smile was kind of sad.  Foril had his own obsession of conquest... but he sorrowed a little for Laithia on account of her loss.  He knew that she was as passionately invested in those things as many humans... which was a bit unusual to him.  He didn't yet know that she had plans to make the human woman's life miserable.  Foril could associate the loss of parents though.  His were still alive but they were... like a saddening number of the elves from his homeland... vacant.  Lost shells of who they once were to their loved ones.

Perhaps it was the perpetual wonder of the land in which they lived that made them seek such an extreme state to consider themselves in a good state.  But that was a concern less immediate.  The vampire... Nara if he remembered her name right... supposedly had great important news to share.  She would probably want to wait for Kree's return.  That meant that it would be a concern to ensure the safety of those around here until she gave her message and could go.

He began making some preparation to use magic... a simple trick really, not a real spell unto itself.  "Nara... are there maps or persons particular to your message?  I'm going to prepare a spell to write what you say in case we need to take the words with us or go over them later.  How are you for having eaten?"

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

Laithia found herself once more moving closer to Foril. There was something comforting about having him around as Nara voices how she was snooping around and The Golden Horn caught on. With a sigh, she runs fingers through her red hair as she takes a wine from one of the serving girls.

"The real question is what have we gotten ourselves into here! I feel we are being set up for something. Why the hell would the emperor do this? Sounds like we are on a wild goose chase here!" she hisses as she leans against Foril.

In a quieter voice that maybe only Foril can hear, she continues "all this time we will be gone and Calise will be walking around free! She will think she got away with this all! I will not let her go unpunished for her actions. She will pay for what she has done. I will make her suffer!"

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

Foril started at Laithia's rage, he offered quietly, "It is near the wound... but I have to ask, is she really worth it?  I would suggest just letting her die of old age... it ravages humans far more than we could hope to with violence and as a target for your anger... well... that is the closest thing to immortality she can hope for, to live on in your mind."  He stayed in place for her to lean on but it surprised him... and he admonished himself for it.  The lands here were harsh enough to where most wouldn't expect a long life unless they were in secured walls with many soldiers at their disposal.  "Just keep yourself alive and enjoy the misery she is destined to sink to if she lives that long.  It would be sadder to me to see you lose out on life being consumed with such a trivial woman... however offensive she may be."

Re: THE WALK THE PLANK

Laithia thought about his words as her head leaned against his shoulder. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes contemplating her possible actions. He was right and she knew it. This way of thinking of all consuming and not how she wanted to live her life. She tried her hardest to keep her chin up and enjoy the life she had due to the sacrifice her parents made. If they had not fought so valiantly, the slavers would have found her. And if they had found her, she would not be here right now with Foril and Ivy and Kree and the others. Life would have been so different!

"Maybe you are right. Not sure my parents would approve of this but I guess I just need to let go. He knew he was married and he still....thank you Foril,"she turns her head, her lips pressing against his chest before she goes back to resting her head on his shoulder.

"I am glad I have you as a voice of reason. I may have to come to you more often for advice," she says a large smile on her face as she looks into his eyes.

  Kree asked a woman , if the others  came  back, she jerked her  ehad towards the  stairs down..as she went to walk away, Kree Said..If  some one from The Alpower comes in here..ask them to leave...if they refuse..get them a ride  on the Orc Cart...

  The woman Nodded grimly Aye Lord...I mean Captain Quickshadow..I will pass the  word along to the look outs as well.

   Good Lass...  he  smiled  and lead the rest of the team down to the  Lower meeting rooms. When they came through, Kree asked 'What did you find out...."

 He looked at  Nara. The Vamp moved a bit closer to Ivy, especially , when she  saw the gaggle of holy warriors with Kree.

Luthien also looks troubled...for the things his temple told him...there'd be a war in the heavens soon. And mortal warriors like himself and Justin and Riku would soon be called in to fight it. Especially Luthien himself.

When Kree said 'no Alpowers in here' he nodded grimly. That's not the kind of command he'd ever thought to hear in his life, but...it's the way it has to be. Everyone had to band together now.

  Everyone Settled in, more  drinks  were brought..a thick Goblet was handed to Nara. she looked at The Server  Girl who shrugged  and walked away. Nara took a  sniff and  then a long  sip...her hand  stopped shaking a bit.

  The Dwarf shrugged,Had one of the Boys  watch for the Orc  cart....

 Kree  chuckled and shook his head.  From our  Part?..we never  made it to the Wizard or the Witch....the  Larger Temples have  sent thier  top  leaders, towards the Fur Man's Chain...It would seem, The Alpower wants to take over  all Control of the Heavens...he ..supposedly
,seeking allies  for himself with the Dark gods to HArgen...


 Thant will not  work, some of those gods  are just  ours, with differant names... Ivy protested.

 Aye...but not all. So any he gains  will add more power to His  side... he shrugged, The Pirests, Clerics  and Paladins left..one large Group...Only Eta, and Neta's people travel  alone....
