<DeathStar> Date: 3.26.2389
<DeathStar> Location: Inn
<DeathStar> 6* It's just a little before midnight. Rachael has awakened and eaten a small meal, before moving to the window to peer out thoughtfully at the night; the town is lit up still considerablely with the shinerocks, and the giant statue moves about the city's pier. Now and again soldiers and Templars can be seen patrolling the streets.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean remains asleep, oblivious to what is going on outside, looking peaceful again with the troubles not in her mind. She lays across Zeal's lap like an oversized child.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sits in a chair, leaning back slightly with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, it seems he fell asleep while watching over the others.
* Kaelan is snuggled into Zeal's side, keeping her crowded, her eyes closed in a troubled sleep.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen stirs after a bit and opens his eyes, peering around slightly to let his eyes adjust. 1The time? 6He asks out to Rachael.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The moon is almost at it's highest point.
<DeathStar> *er, moon pieces
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods slightly and slowly pushes himself up with a groan. 1We should go soon.
* Kaelan rouses a little bit and opens her eyes a little, looking at the two, staying in her position against Zeal.
<Zeal> <Zeal> Alone?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes. We have matters to attend too, besides, they both could use the rest. 6He nods towards Kaelan and Jean.
* Kaelan opens her eyes more. "...I'm not getting anything in terms of good sleep tonight."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael bites her lip. "We might could use them to keep a lookout. And if we separate, we might have trouble meeting up with these patrols."
<Zeal> My thoughts exactly.
<Zeal> Although I am quite well weighted currently, what better to keep watch than a renowned archer?
<Kaelan> "It's better then closing my eyes again." *she sits up*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Kaelan and Zeal's faces are known to the Templar and their patrols are out in force, it's risky.
<Kaelan> "We could wait here and let Jean sleep... we'll be awake at least."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> True... 6* She bites her lip. "But once we have the information, we should work on escaping the city. We have to consider how long it'll take us to get what we need, then return here, then leave. I do not think we want to be in the city come daylight."
<Zeal> Oh, well that." 6She notes, reaching up and unpinning her hair, shaking her head and letting it flow more wildly. It's true she's kept it quite neat.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers up at the Glittering, the glowing rocks that circle the night sky.
<Zeal> Rachael, trade me clothes.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks, peering down at her native fur outfit. Then up at Zeal's clothes. She nods, stripping out of her bra top slowly and holding it out
* Zeal peers toward the others, narrowing her eyes, as if daring them to look, as she sneaks out from under Jean, placing her head on her quiver and leaving her bow.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen rubs the back of his neck slowly as he shifts to peer out at Amazo.
* Kaelan moves around to sit next to Jean, looking down at her thoughtfully.
* Zeal moves over to Rachael, apparently allowing her to see, or since they're sharing it's allowed... or something. She exchanges their clothing piece by piece, though refuses to give up her fancy undergarments.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael puts the fur top down for Zeal to reach, then shifts out of her loin cloth, completely nude now and sets it down for her. She stands there in teh shadows, her body visible to those looking in the Glittering light
<DeathStar> 6* After slowly putting on Zeal's outfit, she frowns, having to tighten the top as her breasts are not as epic as Zeal's.
* Zeal peers at her 'new' clothes thoughtfully. 1"W-Well, it finds itself lacking in comfort to weaved cotton and silk, but retains its own... natural charm, I guess."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a breath slightly. 1Are you finished?
* Kaelan looks back at the two, frowning a little. "They seem finished."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to bend her body like a gymnist, testing her flexibility in the outfit. She goes onto her hands, spreading her legs as far as they can go, hmming thoughtfully
* Zeal reaches up, rustling her hands through her hair furiously, mussing its neatly combed behaviour, then dons her gauntlets and her grieves and the swords, apparently not going to take her bow for further change.
* Zeal kneels and smudges her fingers along the floor, drawing a sort of pattern along half of her face under the eye and along the cheek, then nods.
<Kaelan> "So are we all going? Should I rouse Jean?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns slightly as he glances to Rachael and Zeal, then down. 1I suppose.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael finishes her testing, Zeal's skimpy cloth showing off more than ever with her since she lacks the undergarments. "I'm ready. Valen?"
<Zeal> Kael, cover my bow and keep it with you.
* Kaelan nods and shakes Jean a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stirs, then sits up, looking around in a panic for Zeal
* Kaelan points her out. "She's right there Jean."
<DeathStar> 6* Pausing, Jean glances over and relaxes. She then peers at everyone. "Good morning."
<Zeal> 6Zeal rubs her neck, then blows some of her hair from her nose-- without it pinned as usual, it does an even better job covering half of her face, left long and unbound, teased wildly now thanks to her handiwork, she peers at Rachael, then Jean. 1"Well? Is this better?"
* Kaelan quietly moves over to wrap up Zeal's bow and quiver and shifts them under her cloak.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You don't look like a Templar Knight anymore. 6* She nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Jena peers at Zeal, then begins to mess her own hair up, making it wild; since it's long enough to reach her butt, she makes quite a mess of it, even getting some of the 'dye' out of it
* Zeal nods, then makes a face as she uses more of the soot and dirt of the floor to sully up her armor from its polished sheens.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen tilts his head slightly, peering towards Zeal thoughtfully.
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl, please desist. You will reveal yourself.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves over to retrieve her equipment, then opens the window to exit through. She leans out to study the street below, then shifts to climb and drop down.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, peering at Zeal with her hair going every which way, and some in her face now. "Resist?"
<Kaelan> "I'll need to change clothes or do something to change my looks soon, with my picture up all over."
<Zeal> I warn you. I may have a decent eye, but I am far less competent in bladework than marksmanship. I taught myself a style mainly for defense.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods to Zeal and then leans out the window slightly, before shifting to make his way down after Rachael.
<Zeal> I can help myself, but helping others may be beyond my skill.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers out the window, then shifts to climb out - stumbles, and falls comically toward Valen
* Kaelan looks down with concern, gritting her teeth.
* Zeal rubs her face, then crawls out after Jean slowly.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks to try and catch her.
* Kaelan follows aftter Zeal.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean lands in his arms; she blinks once, then gives Valen a smile and kisses his lips with a peck like she saw Rachael do before.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks, looking stunned.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes Jean now, crossing her arms, but doesn't comment. As Jean gets off of Valen from knocking him over, she looks around curiously, peering up at the Glittering and stares in awe.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slowly pushes himself to his feet, letting out a slight cough, peering off to the side as if he's looking for patrols.
* Kaelan slides down after Zeal and crosses her arms under her cloak after pulling her hood up.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Which way, Valen? 6* She asks, once again showing her confusion and lost nature in this huge city.
* Zeal peers either which way as she trails along with them
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and glances left, then right before moving off in the direction they need to go.
<DeathStar> 6* As they travel the streets, some dark, some brightly lit with Shinestones, Zeal would see they're traveling in the direction of the church, strangely enough.
* Kaelan follows after Valen, her movements a little more deliberate then usual. She frowns as she walks along, trying to decide what they're really up to.
<DeathStar> 6* As they approach the Church, Valen would actually stop a bit short at the City Archives building, which is not open to the public without going through a lot of hoops. The Church is located across the way so they can keep tabs on the Archieves, considering the written knowledge inside. The Templars stand on patrol outside the Church complex, but something else of interest is there - three Templars are dragging a handcuffed man along.
<DeathStar> 6* Dahok Fyro.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and peers ahead, then glances over his shoulder to direct the others to the sight.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I know I look good in these, but are they really necessary?
* Kaelan peers over, pausing as well and moving closer to Valen.
<DeathStar> <Templar> You should be proud you will get to lure out the Angel. The Gods may even favor your sacrifice.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, shifting into the shadows of the CA building, peering toward the Church complex with a worried frown, recognizing Dahok. Jean stands obliviously there ni he open
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I hope this angel's a woman and bea...wait sacrifice?
* Kaelan pulls Jean gently into the shadows.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slides to the shadows slightly and peers towards the scene, trying to determine where Dahok is being taken too.
* Zeal glares around Valen. 1"How could he have not known?" 6She hisses.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean wobbles as she's pulled along. The Templars laugh menancingly at Dahok, passing through the Church Gates to the streets. "Yes. You'll be put in the city square where your execution will begin in the morning. As part of the Angel's corrupted posse, if luck favors us, the Angel will come for you. And we will get her."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks a bit then suddenly goes dead weight on them to make it harder
<Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns. 1We need to rescue him.
<Zeal> If we do so it could destroy your plans." 6She notes.
* Kaelan frowns, her hand moving to her blade handle under her cloak, cold fury filling hidden eyes. "Yes."
* Zeal glares with even more fury upon Kaelan. 1"Not everyone is evil at heart, Kael."
<DeathStar> 6* The Templars annoyedly jerk him about, then resign themselves to having to carry his dead weight. They begin to pass the team's position as they head for the city square. Jean stares, then steps out, waving her arms. "I am the Angel!" 6* The Templars pause, turning to eye Jan
<Zeal> I--
* Kaelan goes to look at Zeal in confusion, then turns the look towards Jean, she groans a little.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think we should atleast...6He eyes them stop then shifts to try and wrap his arms around the neck of a templar and bring the chains against it.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks as Jean steps out, then blinks as the Templar flails with the chains against his throat, struggling pathetically to free himself. His partner turns to eye Dahok, going for his sword.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a tone of annoyance and shifts out of the shadows, breaking into a dash for the fight.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pulls back tigher as he eyes the templar. 1"Ut...You do that and he wont' walk away from this."
<DeathStar> 6* The free TEmplar turns his head to shout at those near the gate, when Jean pauses and hits him on the head once. The Templar maeks a face, eyeing the woman. "Are you mad, you crazy whore?"
<Zeal> 6Zeal springs out after Valen, quit nimble herself.
* Kaelan moves forward, rushing in to try and catch the soldier before he can draw. Her own blade coming out.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldier pulls out his sword aleady as they come in, not noticing them yet as he approaches Jean, who backpeddals. Rachael notches an arrow quickly in case the other Templars take notice
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts up behind the one that has his sword on Dahok and throws his left foot out towards the arm to loose his grip.
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Zeal> 6Zeal leaps forward, if he hasn't spotted them, and reaches for her own blade, but oddly to slam her hilt forward to impact with the bronze knob at the base
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I warned y...6He blinks as he eyes the others coming in
* Kaelan moves around, charging for the one on Dahok already, she slices, aiming to get the back of his leg.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldier's grip on the sword loosens from Valen's hit, then falls out of his head altogether as Zeal hits him with her sword. He stumbles, and shifts back to avodi them, losing his leg completely to Kaelan. He cries out and falls over
<Xanatos> 6* Valen widens his eyes slightly, eyeing Kaelan, he quickly moves to Jean's attacker in an attempt to put him in the sleeper hold.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok quickly tightens the chains to try and choke his templar out
* Kaelan is a little shocked a moment, since she wasn't aiming to lob off a limb, she moves down to cover the man's mouth with a gloved hand.
<DeathStar> 6* The last soldier shifts forward behind Jean as Valen comes, grabbing her throat with his arm like Dahok has with his buddy
<Zeal> 6Zeal quite literally steps on the one they felled, moving quickly toward the one upon Jean
<DeathStar> 6* The man's muffled screams ring through the glove, cursing them in the name of the gods. The choked Templar struggles, then goes deadweight
<Zeal> Rethink this, sir, before you regret it.." 6She poises, a hand on either sword hilt.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and frowns, he holds up his hands slightly. 1Easy.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok drops him then eyes the last templar
<DeathStar> 6* As he goes deadweight and is dropped, a pouch of 50 gold and a key falls out
* Kaelan attempts to knock the man out as he screams.
<DeathStar> <LAst Templar> ... 6* He turns his head to begin to shout at the Templars at the gate.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen motions to Rachael with his left hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes and fires the arrow into the man's shoulder area from the side, causing him to jerk and let Jean go momentarily
<Zeal> 6Zeal rushes forward, aiming to punch him with her left sword hilt like the first, aiming for the jaw
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan's punch hit disorients the man, who keeps struggling and screaming, blood pooling out
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal's punch then makes the last Templar stumble pathetically, disoriented.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slips forward to take Jean's arm and pull her back to safety, before kicking out for the man's gut.
* Kaelan keeps his mouth covered, she grumbles at the man's resilience.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks over at the one screaming. 1"He's bleeding out."
<Kaelan> "Tie something around the leg. I move he screams a lot louder."
<DeathStar> 6* The Last Templar is hit in the gut and he keels over. He tries to find his sword on the ground
* Zeal grasps her swords with a finger over the guard, keeping hold of the scabbard, sliding them from her hips still sheathed like so, and turns, proceeding to beat the man until unconscious
<DeathStar> 6* The man finally stops screaming and goes limp, no longer moving
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck awkwardly then he bends over, checking his templar's body for things
<Kaelan> "I didn't want to... rrggh..." *she tears some cloth and ties the man's leg to slow the bleeding*
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal manages to beat the last templar unconscious as well. RAchael lets out a breath, eyeing the bodies; Jean kneels at the leggless templar, trying to touch it and heal it, looking upset when it doesn't work
<Xanatos> 6* Valen goes to finish him off but pauses at Zeal taking care of that, he glances around. 1We need to get them out of sight...and get out of here. 6He frowns, glancing towards Rachael now.
* Zeal slips the swords back to her hips and grasps the man by his shoulders, dragging him back toward the shadows they hid in.
<Zeal> We need to quickly finish what you set to do and be gone.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We're os close... 6* She eyes the CA building, then the bodies. She grabs the one Dahok go and strains to move him into the shadows.
<DeathStar> *got
* Kaelan helps with the legless one, feeling responsible for him.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves to help her. 1They'll be sending guards soon, Zeal. We can't afford to linger, even for this.
<DeathStar> 6* The legless one remains dead weight. Emphasis on dead. Jean eyes her bloodied hands.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll do it alone, then. 6* She says stubbornly to Valen, clearly not wanting to give up.
<Zeal> They each have their own quadrants to patrol... these will be unconscious for a short time. Can you accomplish it before they wake?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a breath of annoyance. 1Fine, but we have to be quick.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves after them then quickly goes back to searching them for keys and whatnots
<Zeal> Hm. I have another idea.
<DeathStar> 6 *Dahok would find the 50 gold pouch and key.
* Zeal sizes up Rachael in her clothes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Perfect. 6He shifts the gold pouch onto his self and he takes the key and starts to unlock himself.
<Zeal> You three keep watch. Rachael and I will acquire what it is you desire.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I won't stay here. 6He notes.
<DeathStar> 6* If Dahok searches all the bodies, he'd find a city pass on another guard
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok holds up a pass. 1"Hey look at what I found.
<Zeal> If you do not it will cause problems for the church official and myself.
* Zeal smiles softly.
* Kaelan nods a little. "Good, that could come in use."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael studie the CA building, peering at the second floor windows.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't think I can climb the wall.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen eyes Zeal, his expression showing that he's not staying if he has a choice.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> For what? Oh and thanks for rescueing me. Did you know they wanted to execute me?
<Kaelan> "We heard. We'll talk about it later."
<Zeal> Rachael, you speak quite well when you need. Remain it so, demand what you need, and we will go through the front, no need to climb.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts the pass in his pocket and then eyes the two ko'd guards and cuffs them together.
* Zeal gestures. 1"Keep it short, authoritive and we will leave before anyone is the wiser."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, jerking. "M-Me?" 6* She begins to look wary.
* Zeal holds out a comb to her.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms as he peers towards the window.
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I--don't think I can do it. 6* She says quickly. "They're very strict here and I don't have the proper documents to get inside."
* Kaelan rips some more cloth and makes gags for the guards, tying those on.
<DeathStar> 6* The dead guard stares at Kaelan accusingly
<Zeal> If I knew more about what you were looking for I could adjust appropriately... however, I promised not to ask.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances around, looking for another way to reach the second floor.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We could just hoist her up there. 6He motions with his hands
* Kaelan does her best to hide her ill look. It wasn't her first kill, but it didn't seem right at all.
<DeathStar> 6* There doesn't seem to be one, other than trying what Dahok suggests.
* Zeal crosses her arms. 1"I do know that higher officials often seek to satisfy their own whims and curiousity without proper procedure often, and do not like questions to be asked."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods to Dahok. 1That sounds like a plan. 6He motions to Rachael, holding his hands out.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts over to help Valen
<DeathStar> 6* Jean remains in the street still, peeing at her hands still; people begin to head her way.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves over to take their help, thankfully light-weight for her size.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Someone grab her. 6He breathes out as he shift to lift Rachael upward.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pushes up with Valen, glancing up a bit.
* Kaelan moves over to Jean and leads her off to the side. "Shh."
* Zeal peers at them doing it the old-fashioned way, then blinks, gesturing. 1"Lady Al'ryl..!"
* Kaelan leads her over to them.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen clears his throat, eyeing Dahok.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Kaelan almost creepily, as if a different person, then blinks, distracted. She peers at Dahok. "Good morning!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Valen. 1"What?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok quickly looks at Jean, smiling. 1"Hey beautiful."
<DeathStar> 6* Dahok would get a great show glancing up, since Rachael is in Zeal's outfit without underwear
* Kaelan blinks, "Jean, keep a quiet voice for now." *she says softly, looking about*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to grab the window and works to try to pry it open with her sword, then pushes it up. She climbs in, then peers down, then around. "I'll be right back."
<Xanatos> <Valen> BE careful. 6He stresses.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I could hoist you up after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean quiets down like a scolded child. She pauses, then tries to climb Dahok and Valen next
<Zeal> "Lady Al'ryl..!" 6She hisses
<Kaelan> "Jean... hold still."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes. Thanks you. 6He holds up a hand for Jean to wait, then uses Dahok's help to climb up to the window.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok laughs a bit and he grunts as he lifts Valen up
<DeathStar> 6* As Valen is lifted, he'd almost get hit in the head by something coming otu the window; a ladder from a bookshelf
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks slightly to try and catch it and place it down, using that to help Dahok out.
<Zeal> Hm. Everyone up, then, and pull the ladder with us.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers down. "I found this; it should help." 6* She blinks at almost hitting Valen.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts around as the ladder gets set down. 1"Woh that was close." 6He then motions Jean to head up it
<Xanatos> <Valen> Excellent idea. 6He gives her a smile, climbing up.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stares at the ladder in awe, then tentatively tries to mimic Valen's climb. In her grassland outfit, she'd give uqite the show, too, since Kaelan took her cloak part.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok whistles lowly as he follows after her
* Kaelan shakes her head a bit and follows after Dahok.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen kneels slightly once he's inside, peering around.
* Zeal shivers slightly, making a face, thankful perhaps to go last, pulling the ladder in after her.
* Zeal slowly closes the window, making sure no one notices from outside.
<DeathStar> 6 *The group would find themselves in a large dark room full of bookshelves of parchments. They seem to be details about the city and the families in it, as well as other information regarding buildings.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers around, a curious look. 1"Think they have anything about Digging here?"
* Kaelan looks around slowly. "So... what are we looking for?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks around curiously, peering at some parchments, then sneezes from the dust
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms and begins to move around to look for something in particular.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pats Jean's back and he begins to finger through parchments now
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows after Valen, looking around curiously. "I don't know, Mr. Dahok - maybe if the city is allowed those documents. Lady Zeal might know"
<Zeal> It would be the case in Sinas, perhaps. As I have said, my knowledge here is limited.
* Kaelan looks around, frowning a little. "I was never a fan of books..."
<DeathStar> 6* Dahok would see the section he's at is about city buildings and planning.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Dahok, then runs off through the large room quickly
<Zeal> 6Zeal jerks, running after Jean
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well that's unfortunate. 6He shifts the parchments back then glances around for different sections but pauses moving after Zeal and Jean
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl! Cease at once..!
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Not so loud, Zeal. It'd be bad if we woke any guards up.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean runs through the shelves, peering at things without comprehension as if she can't read a word, then stops at one section, pointing at it. What's curious is despite text they can read, one parchment has unreadable text.
<Kaelan> "Jean... damnit..." *she heads after the three*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slides to a stop and he eyes the parchment, pulling it out to look at it
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be a list of Dig sites in Navarro without much detail; it seems it's there just so the country knows what is what to monitor things for the Church
<DeathStar> 6* The most recent entry details one to the north, near Nuege.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances slightly at the others moving off and then looks to Rachael, continuing her search.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grins a bit as he studies it. He then pats Jean on the back. 1"I'll teach you how to fish for this."
<Kaelan> "So what is it, Dahok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael scans names, mumbling the quivaelent of the alphabet. She stops at the 'L'. "Here, Valen."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean beams happily, though probably has little clue what a fish is
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts over to her and begins to thumb through them quickly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> A record of known dig sites. 6He rolls it up carefully and shifts it in his shirt.
<DeathStar> 6* Near those with Jean, they'd hear the sound of a door opening and footsteps. A shinestone in a lantern is being held to provide the person with light
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok holds a finger to his lips and he grabs Jean, moving quietly back towards the others
* Zeal jerks, then motions for the others to back up behind the bookcases.
* Kaelan moves quietly as well, avoiding the light.
<DeathStar> 6* The person with the light nears Kaelan, blocking her path to follow Jean and Dahok. Jean puts a finger to her lips, following Dahok soundlessly
<DeathStar> 6* Valen would spot a thick parchment of Lankin.
* Kaelan moves to hide instead, lest she be discovered.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts to pull it out, unrolling it quickly to peer it over.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods to Jean as he leads her towards Valen/Rachael's location
* Zeal pulls Kaelan back with her, spying through the gaps in the books
<DeathStar> 6* The figure with the light, hard to be made out since the light blocks their features, steps onto the row next to Kaelan and Zeal's. They move down the row, shining the light
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers it over, smiling. "Well, now we have leads. It's a shame we can't visit the address here in Navarro, but it's too risky right now." 6* She seems sad.
* Zeal gets low and shifts oppositely, but remains frowning, trying to see.
* Kaelan gets down low as well, she motions to Zeal wordlessly, indicating they should try and join the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal would spot a man in his early twenties with dark hair. The man thumbs through some parchments, grabbing a few, then turns to exit the way he came. The only thing that is noticeable is a small scar on his upper lip.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smiles slightly and nods, rolling it up to store on his belt. 6He glances around for the others now.
* Zeal gestures her on if she wishes, but frowns, trying to think.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok steps upto the two. 1"Someone else is here." 6He says quietly
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks at Dahok stepping up, not having heard him approach; to her credit she doesn't make a noise, and peers at Dahok, worriedly. "Templars?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean puts a finger to her lip, facing Rachael innocently
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Not sure. I grabbed Jean and..." 6He pauses to look behind them. 1"Crap, they didn't follow."
* Kaelan watches the man go and waits for him to pass totally before moving to join the others.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen holds up a hand to the three and creeps forward to peer out towards where the others may be.
* Zeal rises as he's gone, following Kaelan, but her arms are crossed, continuing the thoughtful look.
<DeathStar> 6* The man steps through the door he came in, turning the Shinestone off and closing it
* Kaelan waves to the others as she approaches. "All clear." *she says softly*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok let's out a sigh of relief.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean puts her finger to her lips, peering at Kaelan
* Kaelan blinks a bit and mirrors her.
<Chad`Winters> 6He then lets Jean's hand go
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods and moves towards the window now, peering out slightly to check for guards.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We're done here as well. Now we just have to figure out how to escape the city.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his head then pulls out hte City Pass. 1"This thing be useful for thaT?"
<Zeal> Watch the window. If he is going to leave, we should give him a moment so he does not walk upon us making our leave.
<DeathStar> 6* There doesn't appear to be any. However, there's a sudden rumble and a giant stone fist comes smashing through the roof, causing the entire building to shake.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok tumbles a bit and he falls on his ass, he eyes the giant stone fist
* Zeal can't help making an exclamation as she throws her hands out to steady.
* Kaelan looks up in shock, "I think we've been found out."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stumbles as the building shakes and the wood floors groan, collapsing in from the fist as it goes all the way down to the bottom floor. Jean falls on her rear.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen stumbles, almost falling out of the window as he claws out to keep himself inside.
* Kaelan falls down as well, landing near Jean with a grunt.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stumbles forward to grab Valen's arms, holding on as best seh can; Amazo's statue peers in through the hole, then reaches for Kaelan
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Does anybody else see a giant stone fist?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes!
* Kaelan grabs Jean and tries to move away from the fist.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think we should go then. 6he quickly gets up, grabbing Jean and lifting her up himself self
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods to Rachael, and then grabs the ladder to set outside, quickly scrambling down it.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean is grabbed, but this just manes she's caught by the fist; however, Dahok's grab as well keeps her from being grabbed entirely, unlike Kaelan
<Zeal> Kael-- she is blonde." 6She hisses, crouched not unlike an animal on a slant of floor
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael turns, her eyes widening. She notches an arrow and fires it at the statue's arm, but it simply breaks
* Kaelan struggles to get free, looking startled.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh crap. 6His eyes go wide at that. He glances around then points at the statues eye. 1"Rachael hit it's eye!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean strains in fright, and the fist begins to pull back with Kaelan and her.
<Kaelan> "J-Jean... save yourself!" *she struggles more*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses at the edge of the window and spring in, running toward to reach otu and grab Jean and pull her back.
<Zeal> Rachael, give me your bow!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grabs onto Jean to try and keep her from getting pulled out
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael notches an arrow, aiming for the statue's eyes and lets loose an arrow, but hits the eyebrow instead
<DeathStar> 6* Jean whimpers in pain, but is freed by Dahok and Valen. The statue rears back with Kaelan, pulling her up to it's face.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, then tosses Zeal her bow, drawing her sword
<Zeal> Quickly..!
* Kaelan looks up at it in fright.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pants a bit then eyes it having Kaelen. 1"We need to do something!"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen quickly checks Jean over for serious wounds.
* Zeal reaches over to steal two arrows from Rachael, twirling it in her hand and landing on the cusp of her other hand's index finger, kneeling for more stillness, squinting upward, aiming to fire one for either eye.
<DeathStar> 6* Seh just appears to be bruised along her arm and side. She looks up at the statue, her eyes widening and freaks out. "Not another death."
<Zeal> Sir Lankin, I am counting on you. You are quite the catch--" 6She notes, then releases both arrows.
<DeathStar> <Amazo> You are not the Angel. Though you reek of disbelief. 6* It pauses as the arrows strike it's eyes, and tosses Kaelan aside like a rag doll, sending her flying out of sight across the rooftops.
* Zeal pauses.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Kaelen!
<Zeal> Forgive me, even I cannot commit you to such a feat." 6She winces.
* Kaelan cries out as she's thrown out of sight.
<DeathStar> 6* JEan blinks, then vanishes from sight momentarily. Rachael peers around, trying to find her, then eyes the statue focus on them.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen makes a face. 1Damnit. We...6He blinks at Jean vanishing.
* Zeal reaches over, stealing another arrow and fires up for its face.
<Zeal> Move!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok blinks as Jean disappaers. 1"...Ok we need to get out of here now."
* Zeal hit or miss aims to slide down the slanted floor, making a break for the front entry.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves for the window to slip out and climb down the ladder he dropped.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan collides nito something soft, and crushes it under herself. She seems to be on a rooftop a few buildings away
* Kaelan blinks, looking down in surprise at whatever broke her fall.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok turns and moves fter Valen
<DeathStar> 6* Jean lays there, unconscious and looking pained.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to follow Valen down, sliding down it and landing on top of Valen
<Kaelan> "J-Jean..." *she looks about for a way down, righting herself and working to pick Jean up*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts out the window after Rachael and he slides down and kicks off, tumbling away from the two
<DeathStar> 6* A man passes by Kaelan and Jean, working his way across the rooftops, leaping from one to the next like some expert assassin. The statue eyes Zeal, trying to smash her with a palm
<Xanatos> 6* Valen staggers and sets down Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks around, then at Valen, panicked. "What do we do now?"
* Zeal meets the others out the door, looking uncertain for once. 1"What do we do..? We cannot fight that thing..!?" 6She notices the shadow and shifts, moving to leap and avoid it with a cry
* Kaelan stares after the man for a moment, surprised at a night time climber during a moment like this.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pushes himself up, wincing a bit
<Xanatos> <Valen> We have to hide from that...think.
<Xanatos> NRP: thing
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And how do we plan on doing that?
<DeathStar> 6* The man leaps off a rooftop into a bale of hay, rolls out, and is on his way.
<DeathStar> 6* The statue shifts around the building slowly, working it's way to their side of it.
* Kaelan looks to see if she can get over there with Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan would probably break her neck; though off the side of her roof is a cart of melons
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We should atleast head the way Kaelen was thrown. Hopefully she landed somewhere safe.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I agree. 6He nods to Dahok and moves to run in that direction.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok groans and he moves after Valen
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael turns to follow after Valen and Dahok, running as fast as she can manage. The statue steps around and stomps toward Rachael, about to crush her
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses to turn and reaches out to grab her and dive out of the way.
* Kaelan moves over to the side of the roof with Jean, looking for a way to climb down if possible.
* Zeal shouts up at the statue going for Rachael.
<Zeal> You ill-tempered beast!! Is it not me you want?" 6She turns, making for another path
<DeathStar> 6* The stomp misses RAchael barely, throwing up dust and whatnot around them. Templars head toward them, having noticed the commotion.
<DeathStar> 6* The Templars head after Zeal, while the statue pursues Rachael, Valen, and Dahok.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan wouldn't see a way down with Jean. She could leave her behind and climb down, but not with her
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a grunt and pushes himself up to begin running again, pulling Rachael.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> This is so not fair.
* Kaelan grumbles and holds onto Jean, then leaps for the cart of melons.
* Zeal tchs, eyeing her path for anything to disrupt or lay in their path after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan would painfully smash into the melons, getting covered in melony goodness; it would hurt like hell, but she's alive and can move
<DeathStar> 6 *Zeal would notice the street is fairly deserted, but has many side alleys she can take. Up ahead is the familiar horse stable she tried to rob the other day
<Kaelan> "Gonna feel that in the morning." *she grumbles and picks Jean up, looking around to get her bearings*
<DeathStar> 6* The statue begins to gain on them. Dahok and Valen would notice many side streets they could duck into it, possiblely eluding the statue due to it's size
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts a bit and darts down a side street
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers left and jerks to follow after Dahok.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael is pulled along. The statue stops, trying to step over the buildings to reach them, but seems to be having trouble. Valen and Dahok would notice they are near the gate out of the city, and up ahead would see a melon soaked Kaelan
* Zeal shakes her head, then twists around, straining to aim an arrow at them and see how they react.
<DeathStar> 6* The Templars react by charging for her'
* Zeal releases the arrow-- aiming just slightly to the side of the lead's face, then breaks into a rush down one of the side alleys.
* Kaelan holds Jean to her, looking less then happy but still alive at least, she spots them coming and waits for them.
<DeathStar> 6* As Zeal rushes, she'd collide into Dahok practically
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a whistle for Kaelan as he moves for the gate, peering out for guards.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok bowls her over?
* Zeal twists, stumbling, but staggers to remain on her feet.
* Kaelan joins them when they near and moves for the gate with them, holding onto Jean wearily. "Good to see you all alive..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stumbles and plants his hands to the ground to keep himself from going all the way down
<DeathStar> 6* The city gate has 10 Templar Knights on hyper alert.
<DeathStar> 6* And 4 city guards.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's not over yet. 6He pauses, staying short of the gate, glancing around with a frown. 1Damnit.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to get up quickly. 1"Shew that was close."
<Zeal> I am being chased! MOVE IT!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What do we do now? 6* She pauses as five Templars rush into sight near Zeal
<Kaelan> "We need to leave... so we run for it?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pulls out the city pass again.
<Xanatos> <Valen> TO where? 6He glances left and right quickly.
* Zeal keeps moving her direction, not toward the gate, peering back for where the statue is
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses. 1The Catacombs, perhaps we can hide there.
<Kaelan> "The gate... use the pass I guess. The... what?"
<Chad`Winters> 6DAhok looks at Valen. 1"Catacombs?
<DeathStar> 6* The Templars pause at seeing the others, aiming their weapons at them. The statue steps into sight finally, approaching them from the opposite way of the city gate
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks equally confused, holding her sword carefully
* Zeal launches another arrow up toward the statue's face, running toward a dead end against the gate wall
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks to move after Zeal, eyes going left and right for an entrance.
<Kaelan> "Look, we're running low on time."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks to follow Valen, and the Templars charge at Kaelan, swinging their swords at her
<DeathStar> <Amazo> You will not escape. 6* It stomps forward
* Kaelan follows after Valen, running from the swords with Jean.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok turns to follow after Valen
<DeathStar> 6* Due to just running, Kaelan would get cut along the shoulder, causing her to stumble forward and fall.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to grab Kaelen/Jean and pull them up from falling completely
* Zeal pauses in front of the gate wall, then turns, glaring up at the statue. 1"Give me your best swing, 'god.'"
<DeathStar> 6* The Templars advance on Dahok now, as he supports the females.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen eyes the direction Zeal's going with with a slight look of confusion as he hmms.
* Kaelan grumbles in pain, having trouble holding onto their Angel now with a bleeding arm.
<DeathStar> 6* The statue seems focused on Kaelan and Jean and Dahok for now, since he's closest to them. It reaches for them
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh this won't end good.
<Kaelan> "R-Run!"
* Zeal grinds her teeth slightly, aiming another arrow, taking her time to aim for the eye again since it's not paying attention to her
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok takes Jean quickly. 1"Kaelen run." ^he shifts to try and avoid Amazo and the templars
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slides to a halt, after realizing what Zeal's doing. He peers at Rachael and hands her his crossbow, so she can help the others.
* Kaelan moves to do the same, trying to avoid them all and running as she can.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael turns back, blinking. The Templars swing out at Dahok, but they are avoided. The statue reaches down for Kaelan, grabbing at her leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes it, notches an arrow, and takes careful aim
* Kaelan leaps to avoid getting her leg caught.
* Zeal releases, hissing. 1"Over here, coward!"
<Kaelan> "I'm getting really tired of this statue!"
<DeathStar> 6* The eye is hit, and the statue turns toward Zeal and Rachael. After Rachael's arrow hits it, it shifts to lift up a house and hurls it at them
<Xanatos> 6* Valen widens his eyes and reaches out to pull Rachael down, shielding her with himself.
* Zeal stares, widening her eyes, a bit more than she intended, quickly peering for a place to leap to the side and hopefully cover.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pants as he tries to get past the Templars.
<DeathStar> 6* The Templars stop attacking Daho kto stare in awe at a flying building
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal would find nothing to take cover at beside the city gate, since the buildings are in front of her, not beside her. The house comes ozoming in
<DeathStar> *city wall
* Kaelan moves along with Dahok, to avoid the templars.
<DeathStar> 6* The house will impact in 5.
<DeathStar> 4.
<DeathStar> 3.
<DeathStar> 2.
<DeathStar> 1.
* Zeal ducks as low as possible since there's... no cover
<DeathStar> 6* The building smashes into the city wall, causing a thunderous boom as brick and pieces of both rain down on them; Zeal would feel pieces of it impact into her back, tearing into her flesh and pinning her, and Valen would feel his right arm get crushed, burying him and Rachael alive where they can't move.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Shit. 6He carries Jean over to the shattered house to try and get them out
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a grunt of pain, jaw clenched tight as he tries to force enough room for Rachael.
* Kaelan moves over with Dahok, helping him.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stirs awake finally, opening her eyes. The statue begins to advance on them. Rachael shakes herself off from under Valen, but is too pinned to get out herself. The air is thin for them all. "Are...you okay..?"
* Zeal lets out a pained breath with a slight whimper. She just wasn't raised for this kind of abuse.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods once with a wince, jaw set as he focuses on fighting the pain.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We need to distract that thing.
<DeathStar> 6* As Jean awakens, she peers at the rubble, then at the statue. She gets out of Dahok's arms and waves at the statue to get it's attention; it seems to work, as the statue locks onto her
<DeathStar> <Amazo> The Destroyer.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Jean...
<Kaelan> "Distract... that thing... oh what in the gods..." *she peers between Jean and the statue*
<DeathStar> 6* As Jean backs up a bit, just ni range of the rubble, Valen and Zeal's pain fades enough; their wounds aren't healing quickly, but it seems the nerves aren't recognizing the damage right now.
* Zeal quivers, trying to move, but just hisses in pain, murmuring. 1"... Al'ryn...!"
* Zeal strains with her arms, trying to push herself up, pinned face down and unable to see what is around her int he first place.
<DeathStar> 6* Dahok would probably notice the three's spots, since their movement would shake the brick.
* Kaelan peers at Dahok. "It's distracted, what now?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok look at Kaelen. 1"Don't let her get taken." 6He shifts and moves for the closest one and starts to dig that person out
<DeathStar> 6* The statue reaches out for Jean to grab at her, and she darts aside, stumbling, clearly hurting herself. The Templars rush forward to block her path of escape for the statue.
* Kaelan nods and draws her sword, frowning as she considers what she's doing.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen keeps himself tense, steadily pushing agains the ground in and attempt to free themselves, but with all the weight, he's not having much luck.
<DeathStar> 6* The statue grabs another building, lifting it up over it's head and steps toward Jean. Dahok would manage to unbury Zeal, who would otice the city wall has a hole now
* Kaelan sheaths her sword and moves over to work on one of the rubble piles, keeping an eye on Jean and the statue.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts and pulls her out. 1"You alright?" 6He turns and moves for another moving spot to start unburying
<Zeal> ...It ... w-worked." 6She rasps, then winces. 1"Though not as... i-intendedly successful..." 6She pauses, eyeing a shake, and widens her eyes, moving to try and dig out Valen and Rachael
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal, Kaelan, and Dahok would quickly unbury Rachael and Valen, with Rachel under Valen. Amazo smashes the building down on top of Jean's location, making the block shudder and dust fly up as pieces of wood and brick fly about
<DeathStar> <Amazo> My brothers and sisters will despair that I have claimed the kill.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks as it comes smashing down into Jean, his eyes going wid.e !"JEAN!"
* Kaelan holds up an arm, she stares. "Jean..."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers up slightly. He frowns as he helps Rachael to her feet, nodding for their help, his arm hanging uselessly at his side.
<DeathStar> 6* The statue stops moving, going dead again, the God of War clearly confident
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok darts towards the smashed building now
<Kaelan> "Please be alright... please Jean. You're my path..." *she moves towards the building too*
<DeathStar> 6* Part of the building shifts and Jean stumbles out, glass embedded in her and bleeding heavily, apparantly having been standing just right to get hit by a window; she has an eerie blue glow about her, that fades as she falls over
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok catches her and he scoops her up
<Kaelan> "Let's go." *she draws her sword to guard Dahok and Jean* "The way out is clear now."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael rises to her feet painfully, taking Valen's arm worriedly. "Are you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Templars, five of them, rush forward at them.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods and he moves back towards the other and the open hole in the wall
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods to her. 1I'll be alright. 6He slips his sword out and back sup towards the hole-y wall.
* Kaelan moves after him, keeping her weapon at the ready and carefully keeping up her guard for them.
* Zeal tiredly draws both of her swords. 1"Carry on..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael fires an arrow at one of them, it bouncing off his armor, then steps through the hole. Running up is deeratard, sniffing Valen and then Jean in Dahok's arms.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks in surprise. 1You came back.
* Kaelan moves back with Dahok and Jean still, she looks over and raises a brow. "...You really did tame the beast it seems."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes go wide at the Deeratard.
<Kaelan> "It's alright Dahok... it's... a friend."
<DeathStar> 6* It nuzzles Jean, then waits for them to climb on.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's huge.
* Zeal retreats along with Kaelan to provide little opening to get to the others, a determined look in her weary eyes. After backing through with Kaelan, she jumps to kick at some of the fresh rubble with her grieve, trying to collapse their escape.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen motions up. 1It'll only fit about 4, maybe five max. I can run to keep up.
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal has a single piece fall down - on Kaelan's head
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Jean and the girls for sure.
* Kaelan pulls herself up on the creature ahd holds out her hands to help Jean up.
<DeathStar> 6* Deeratard shifts to pick up Jean with it's antlers
<DeathStar> 6* Somehow it keeps from impaling her, but it seems to provide an extra spot
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches and let's out a whistle. He quickly climbs up.
<Zeal> Do not patronize me-- I can... run iwth sir Lankin..!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen motions to Rachael to get on, giving her a stern look not to argue.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes him, then nods, climbing up onto the deertard and shifting in close to Dahok, wrapping her legs around him to pull in closer.
<Zeal> ...
* Kaelan grumbles. "I'm about ready for a nap... and a week's holiday. Something tells me we just got started though." *she leaps back against Dahok*
<DeathStar> 6* The rock that hit Kaelan's head begins to make it bleed, due to being ignored. Rocks hate that.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances down at her legs, smiling a bit. 1"Valen, Zeal get up before the Templars try to cuff me again
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...He might be able to hold us all, it will be close. 6He motions for Zeal to get on.
* Kaelan rubs her head and grumbles in pain more.
<DeathStar> 6* The Templars point at them. "They are working with monsters now!" 6* They seem horrorfied.
<DeathStar> 6* The rock will now slowly work it's way ot Kaelan's brain over the RPG and eventually kill her. Perhaps.
* Zeal eyes Valen and the extra space, then Rachael in her outfit and Dahok, frowning at Valen. 1"F-Fine, but do not get any ideas.." 6She sheathes her swords, moving to try and hoist up
<Xanatos> 6* Valen helps her up and then slides up himself, digging in his heels. 1Hang on tight. 6He wraps one arm around the deer and another grabs a tuft of hair.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at the Templars. 1"Let's see your god Amazo do that." 6He pats the deeratard once they're all on
<DeathStar> 6* The deertard takes off rapidly
* Kaelan tosses the rock away.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks back from the sudden take off and he grabs on tightly
* Zeal makes a slightly frightened noise-- not used to riding animals and clings to whomever is in front of her.
* Kaelan holds on, leaning back into Dahok for a bit of support, working cloth about her head a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan, on the first bump, is sent right off the Deetard; apparantly treating a head wond on a fast beast is a bad idea
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> WOH! STOP! 6He pats the deer to try and make it stop
* Kaelan rolls along the ground and passes out.
<DeathStar> 6* The Deeretard comes to a stop; Rachael smashes into Dahok's back and Zeal into Rachael's bac
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slides forward as he's smashed into, letting out a cough of pain
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a groan, crushing Zeal, he slides off and moves to get Kaelan. 1This girl is quite dumb.
* Zeal eyes Kaelan flying off and looks even more frightened about riding, wrapping her arms around Rachael and hardly noticing as she clenches at the woman's chest in a childish deathgrip.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael makes a face, but doesn't complain about Zeal's grip, since it's practical. "We should teach her if she is in front to use both hands."
<DeathStar> 6* The deeretard walks over to Kaelan, as if debating eating her, but instead eats the melon pieces on her
* Zeal shivers complacently. 1"I-- I do not like these animals."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You can use both hands if you want. 6He smiles at Rachael as he shifts to hold on to the deertard with both hands now
<Xanatos> 6* Valen kneels and pats the deers head. 1Let her ride up there? 6He motions to the antlers with jean.
* Kaelan remains unconcious, possibly having done a dumb thing thanks to the rock falling on her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Sure. Nice try. The rock sinks in deeper at being accused.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen kneels to lift her up and gently place her with Jean, checking to see if it's okay with the deet.
<Xanatos> NRP: deer
<DeathStar> 6* The deeretard stabs at Kaelan with it's antlers and lifts her up; well, it would have, but Valen beat it to the punch
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pats the deers neck and gives it some semi-squashed berries, shifting to climb on again.
<DeathStar> 6* Once Kaelan is on, the deeretard rides off again at high speeds. Rachael calls out. "Where should we go?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Somewhere they wouldn't expect us to go?
<Xanatos> <Valen> West. For sure. Anyone have any locations in mind?
* Kaelan grumbles in her sleep, bleeding.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm not familiar with this land
* Zeal vicegrips Rachael lecherously since she's too frightened to pay attention. 1"I-If we find any temperance or meadows, please allow me to forage for medicines."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Perhaps southwest. We may be able to get passage off this continent. 6he calls out.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Which was is that?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: way
<Xanatos> <Valen> Slightly left to the direction we're going.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes that way and then the deer and he tries to steer it that way gently
<DeathStar> 6* The deeretard obeys and gallops in that direction; after an hour, it stops at a meadow with a pond, shifting to drink and dumping Kaelan into it, waking her up, and Jean on top of her
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to drop off the deer and he moves for the waters edge to pull them both out of it
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael climbs off, sore, and rubs at her breasts, which look like they've been molested a lot
* Kaelan splutters and groans a bit, sitting up, lifting Jean with her, looking around. "God my head hurts..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stirs, opening her eyes, then flails on the water, paniced
* Kaelan getnly hugs her. "Calm down... that hurts more."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok quickly pulls Jean up and out of the water now. 1"It's alright.
* Kaelan pulls her out of the water with her.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slips off of the deer and continues to pat him, kneeling to drink some of the water himself.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael gets some water, then shifts her back painfully, eyeing the Glittering. "We should make camp here, then decide where to go exactly. We can build a fire to keep monsters away."
* Kaelan looks at Jean. "Are you alright?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sounds like a good plan.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods. 1Zeal can search for herbs as we do that. 6He peers at his arm slightly, then shifts a strap off to begin to wrap it around in a makeshift sling.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean calms, looking pained; ironically, everyone elses' wounds are healing slowly, but not her own
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It'll be fine Jean, just take some deep breathes to relax. 6He glances her wounds ovre
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl, I will return shortly to help... I promise.
* Kaelan looks her over. "Can you... heal yourself Jean?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to lay on her back, looking exhausted. Jean's wounds seem to be along her back and shoulder and neck, where glass can be seen. Her arm also seems to have been cut heavily. Jean peers at Kaelan with no understanding
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck. 1"Jean, I'm gonna try and pull some of this glass out."
<Kaelan> "How you fix us, can you do it to yourself?"
<Zeal> Lady Hilund, do you wish your... clothing back?" 6She tilts her head, looking apologetic about her breasts, but seeming a slight desire for her own comfortable fabrics back, even if Rachael's are technically warmer.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean shakes her head, wincing at it, then nods at Dahok
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes, please. 6* She sits up to begin undressing immediately
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok makes a face and he slowly starts to pull the shards out
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets to his feet and moves to find scraps of wood.
<Kaelan> "Kay, try to relax and not move so much." *she tries to soothe Jean while Dahok pulls out glass*
* Zeal pauses, peering about at the others, narrowing her eyes. 1"Do not look!" 6She orders, then starts to slip out of Rachael's hides and such.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean whimpers in pain as he yanks out the glass, like a child that's being given treatment it's told will help, but doesn't believe it
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves over to Zeal, completely naked, holding out the outfit to her again. Jean's hair, having been touched by water, now seems to be half-black, half-blonde.
<Kaelan> "I'm sorry Jean, but this needs to be done."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok continues pulling pieces out. 1"You're doing good so far."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves back with piece after peace, making a pile.
<Zeal> L-Lady Hilund, are you not concerned with even a bit of modest in... current company?" 6She shifts uncomfortably in just her undergarments, holding out Rachael's to exchange and begin redressing.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles a bit at Dahok's complimenting her, then winces as another piece is pulled out; by the time Valen finishes with the stack of wood, Dahok has as stack of glass.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Valen has seem be naked before and Mr. Dahok is busy.
<Kaelan> "Zeal, no one's even interested in looking right now..." *she holds Jean still*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael begins to put her loin cloth on, then her top, looking like she feels more comfortable again.
<Zeal> Mmh." 6She notes skeptically, turning away to slip into her clothes, appreciative that they're warm, but hrmphing at Kaelan.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses to rub the back of his head as he eyes her back for any more pieces
* Kaelan checks down her arm for pieces as well. "You were very brave back there Jean."
* Zeal returns to the others a moment to recover her bow and quiver, slipping back into the half-plate and moves to go foraging. 1"I will look for remedies."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen kneels and glances towards Rachael. 1Could you spark it?
<DeathStar> 6* He seems to have gotten all that he can reach. She seems to be bleeding abit more now with the glass removed, but not in danger of dying
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods, moving over to the sticks and getting the fire going. The deeretard retreats from the fire to hide somewhere.
* Kaelan looks over at Rachael. "Do we have any spare cloth for bandages?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think I got it all. You did good Jean. 6He shifts to pull his shirt off and presses it against her back to try and keep the bleeding from going crazy
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gives her a smile and gets to his feet, moving to go give the deer a bit of fruit as a reward.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at his chest curiously, then her own, then his, as if comparing them.
* Kaelan blinks, looking back to watch Valen and Jean. "What is it?"
<DeathStar> 6* AS Zeal ventures out, she would spot what appears to be some good herbs - with three killer rabbit like monsters gurading them.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Why does Valen and Dahok have flat chests?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok blinks then looks at his chest. 1"I have muscles..."
<Kaelan> "They're men. Men don't have breasts."
* Zeal crouches slightly, judging them for size before she brings up her bow.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen makes sure the deer is okay and then moves back to the others to lay down by the fire and rest.
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be about the size of rockweilers.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. Men. 6* She repeats curiously
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That's what some girls call me.
* Zeal exhales slowly, steadying herself, then remains at the extent of her comfort in long range, quietly notching an arrow and taking aim for the head of the farthest, then releases, using her advantage as a ranged combatant to hopefully elude immediate detection.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What do others...call you?
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal impales the head of the rabbitmonster, the blood gushing out as it tips over. The other two bounce to attention, trying to find their attacker
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Good looking, pig, jerk, sauve, romantic...
<DeathStar> 6* Jean seems to take note.
<Zeal> 6Zeal remains as still as possible, bringing up her next arrow and taking aim, exhaling-- then releases.
<DeathStar> 6* Another goes down, screeching loudly in pain. Jean jerks at the screeching, peering around in panic. The last rabbit hops toward Zeal, pissed like Bugs Bunny with the AVGN
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers up slightly, sitting up to glance around.
<Zeal> 6Zeal remains calm, bringing up one more arrow, using the distance to guage her shot before firing again.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok raises a brow as he looks around
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, then hurries out to find Zeal quickly
* Kaelan shakes her head, she leans over near Dahok. "So what happened? They didn't hurt you did they?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal hits the rabbit, who bounce stumbles, and drags itself toward Zeal, trailing blood
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets to his feet and moves after Rachael.
* Zeal shoulders the bow and draws both swords if its slowed down, eyeing it almost pitifully. 1"Forgive me, creature."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck. 1"Oh...I'd rather not talk about it."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael arrives behind Zeal, peering as the rabbitmonster drags itself toward Zeal's foot.
<Kaelan> "Alright..." *she sighs a little and sits up* "At least we saved you in time."
<Zeal> 6Zeal leans and thrusts a stab for its neck as it draws close, keeping her other poised to defend
<DeathStar> 6* The rabbit monster jerks, and dies. It drops 10 gold.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen approaches from behind slightly and pauses. 1I do hope Solomon doesn't see this.
* Zeal pauses, then peers over as she notices Rachael, gesturing. 1"Dinner."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Solomon? 6* She takes the rabbit, handing it to Valen to skin
<Xanatos> 6* Valen takes the rabbit. 1I...named our friend.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok gives her a bit of a smile and he pulls his shirt back to eye the wounds again
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers out into the night worriedly. She gets up, as if to investigate.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How like you. 6* She says with a smile.
* Zeal moves to clean her blade on the grass, then check for which arrows may be recoverable or merely need a new arrowhead, then to check on the herbs they were near.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's fine Jean, they'll be right back.
* Kaelan slumps a bit, "Please rest Jean..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then sits obediently. Her back seems to have stopped bleeding thanks to the shirt
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gives her a sheepish smile and moves to take the rabbit back so they can skin and cook it.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok smiles a bit and he shifts to eye her arm that was bleeding before and he wraps the shirt around it to try and stop that too for now
* Kaelan gets a sullen look, staring at the water.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows him; some time passes and Zeal gets her herbs together, and after horrorfying Jean by skinning the rabbit, she eyes the cooked the rabbit, not eating it.
<Kaelan> "I've failed." *she slowly gets up*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen eats with one hand, eyeing the ground.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Failed?
<Zeal> 6Zeal sets the other two rabbits near Rachael and Valen since they have more experience with drying and skinning, then sits, sorting the herbs and preparing them. She notes quietly to Jean without looking. 1"The only thing more disrespectful to the animal than ending its life is ending it wastefully."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pulls out the parchement he stole and unrolls it, eyeing it over now as he eats some rabit
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eats the rabbit as well, looking pleased with it's taste, though it's still not that great compared to food from an inn. Jean jerks. <Jean> But-- ... 6* She sulks, like she might cry.
<Kaelan> "Yeah..." *she sounds dry throated, and moves over to the water*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I was thinking about what you said, Valen. Heading southwest. They would probably have that port heavily fortified, waiting on us.
<Zeal> <Zeal> As we all come from the dirt and earth, so we all return. Respecting life is knowing that life does end and with it doth life prevail. So we take thy life that ours may continue. Without malice we act, and without malice we live.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Jean. 1"I know it may not seem appealing and all, but you should eat some to regain your strength."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes, I imagine you're right. Our only other option is north.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Then--if one of us dies... we eat the person? 6* She looks ill.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok blinks at that one. 1"No..."
<Zeal> Of course not. We are not animals.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sighs. "I guess we can explore Navarro more later."
* Zeal says it simply as if that's an obvious fact.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused. "What is difference between us and animals?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's a shame they saw our faces. We could have seperated from the group to explore at our leisure.
* Kaelan looks for some stones, she starts tossing them into the water.
<Zeal> <Zeal> We think for ourselves, above our instincts. We strive for greater good, not simply existing. Improving life, not merely being led by it, lady Al'ryn.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at the map, looking to see where the closest Dig sites are. 1"I guess you could say we don't all try to kill everything
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael lays back on the ground, her head near Valen. "Going north. It's cold up there, right? And a ship would cost more to go back home."
* Kaelan hurls rocks into the water like she has a grudge against the liquid.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean tries to absorb that all, but looks more confused and lost.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes. Much more. 6He reaches out with his free hand, after cleaning it off from eating and brushes his hand through her hair. 1We'll find out way back though, eventually.
<DeathStar> 6 *Dahok would see dig sites peppered about; one's even close by, just an hour or so, but probably not the best place. The newest one is north, near Nuege.
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryn..." 6She sighs a bit. 1"It would have killed me had I let it, instead I acted first. Rather than waste its efforts in this world, I make them a part of my own. We live in its stead."
* Kaelan runs out of stones and moves back to sit with the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael considers, biting her lip, as if debating taking their chances with the southwest port.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances over to Rachael and Valen. 1"You said north, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean considers, then nods once. She picks up a piece of the meat and eats it, after saying a prayer.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes. 6He nods.
* Kaelan looks over at Jean, trying to hear the prayer.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> There's a new dig site nearby Nuege if we go that way.
<Xanatos> <Valen> And you want to...visit it?
<DeathStar> 6* Something about bunnies finding peace.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> If we're going that way, I'd like to.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Do you have a Digger License?
<Kaelan> "Who do you pray to... Jean?"
* Zeal smiles, nodding approvingly at Jean, then stows any extra or unapplicable herbs she may have ground, but moves to kneel beside Jean as she eats, holding out a leaf with a spread salve and a small brush of sorts, spreading it lightly across her cuts and bruises.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Um. 6* She looks confused again at Kaelan.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> ...No. I was working on getting one but I got bored with all the laws.
<Xanatos> <Valen> They most likely won't let you in. It may even result to a fight.
<Kaelan> "In prayer you usually address a god... or something..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean winces at the touch, but doesn't complain more than that.
<DeathStar> <Jean> I just wished the bunny monster found peace and wouldn't attack people anymore.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Unless you can steal it without being noticed. 6* She sounds curious about the dig site, too.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Those are the exact laws I didn't care for.
<Kaelan> "I see." *she nods, looking satisfied*
* Zeal eyes her reaction and attempts to be more gentle with the brush, a soft bristle to begin with likely made of an animal's hair of some sort, though doesn't admit it or say aloud about being easier.
<Xanatos> <Valen> If you could steal a license, immensely helpful.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok point at Rachael. 1"It's a new site meaning it shouldn't be too guarded."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Or guarded at all.
<Xanatos> NRP: it would be*
* Kaelan reaches around, grabbing another stone, she inspects it slowly, then takes out her dagger.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It wouldn't hurt to check it out, if we do head that way. Unless you think it would be better to take our chances going south west.
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at Valen
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles at Zeal, then touches some of Zeal's own wounds, healing them a bit. She looks drained afterwards, but smiles like a child
<Xanatos> <Valen> As much as I want to go home, I don't think it would end well for us.
* Kaelan slowly starts to run the blade over the groove of the stone, switching side to side, as she does she seems to relax and get lost in the act.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, even if we do go north, we might can come back later after time has passed. Navarro is large. They--would give up eventually searching it all, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Jean. "Or would they always look for us?"
* Zeal pauses, looking surprised, then eyes her sternly. 1"Please do not tire yourself too much on my account." 6She peers back at her wounds, trying to look indignant.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Possibly if they think she died.
<Zeal> Or went somewhere else." 6She points out.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hmm. Dahok's right. The god seemed to think she was dead.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> But the Templars saw she lived. They will come agian, right? Do you hink they are all that strong?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And it would be blasphemy to doubt a god
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks scolded, peering down.
* Zeal reaches out, patting Jean's thigh comfortingly.
<Kaelan> "That he did. As long as we're not spotted for a while, they may spread the word that she is dead. It would look bad to not do so for too long, especially after a God already declared her dead."
* Kaelan keeps on sharpening.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I guess we'll travel north and go from there.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I hope so. 6* She lets out a breath. She then peers at Valen to decide their path, nodding at his decision
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Nuege it is then.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We should stop at any towns that are to the north, also, to find warmer clothing. How...cold is it to the north?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Wait...It's cold up there?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Cold enough that if you don't have the right amount of warmth, you'll die.
<Kaelan> "Anywhere as long as it's far from here... and I think it gets colder, your... clothes aren't going to do well Rachael."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers down. 1"Well I better find some clothes then."
* Zeal pauses, peering down at her's, intended for a desert city after all.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Dahok's parchment, which has the cities located. "We are east of the major city of .... "
<Kaelan> "We should all change clothes at any rate, and work on changing our looks."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Thome. Also, it seems there's a small city near the border called... Turonia. That would probably be the place to buy new clothing.
* Kaelan flips the dagger over, sharpening the other side.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Rachael, impressed with how much she remembers.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at the map and the towns she pointed out. 1"Sounds good to me."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I think having Blonde hair should be out of the picture for the ladies.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Really? I kind of like blondes
* Zeal hrmphs indignantly, finishing with Jean she hands her the brush, holding the leaf in her left hand. 1"Lady Al'ryl, can you spread this amongst my wounds..?" 6She turns, since her new wounds are along her back, tilting her head forward and using her right hand to gather her hair in front of her, taking out her comb to start retaming it.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Do you think we would have time to see Thome, or would it be too big for us to visit?
<Kaelan> "We're going to need a lot more of that ink then."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Thome is almost fort-like. It may be a mistake to linger there for very long.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then shifts forward and presses against Zeal, peering at her wounds, then trying to apply the stuff like was done to her, not seemingly noticing personal space as she works
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well as long as we stay ahead of them, we should have an advantage.
* Zeal pauses, looking a little awkward, but since it's Jean, pays it less mind, returning to combing her hair in the meantime, refusing to make noise or wince.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods, considering, then closes her eyes. Apparantly she's fine with whatever route Valen plans.
<Kaelan> "In a day they discovered my face, arrested my father and set his execution... I won't be surprise if word is way ahead of us."
<Zeal> Navarro and the kingdom to the north have little good relation... I doubt word can spread as quickly as amongst the capital city itself.
<Zeal> Your discretion is a welcome adaption, however, Kael.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Tehy---fight a lot, right? Are they at war now?
<Zeal> I do not believe so, however, it was not long ago a ten year long war waged.
<Kaelan> "I'll stay my temper, Zeal." *she sounds defeated*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck as he looks at Kaelan. 1"Sorry that happened, Kaelan."
* Kaelan looks over at Dahok. "It's alright... you didn't kill him. Kalo did."
<Zeal> Resentment between these two is likely deep, and 'relations' as we put it, difficult.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I believe we should all rest up now and move for Thome in the morning, from there we can head north, to Turonia.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods.
<DeathStar> -END-
