Kadan stands, breathing heavily a moment to acknowlegde the defeat of the beast. Arzel is running to the pendant Kadan whips around, axe firmly in hand, trying to ascertain the actions of the two wizards. Kadan: That voice... it is what brings the statues to life. GMRune: Tarrant follows Arzel to the pendant <> Kadan attempts to keep a constant watch on what is going on around him. GMRune: The remaining cravings are still moving, but they seem much more muted now. Kadan hides behind the dragon statue and watches the wizards with suspicion GMRune: Arzel sees the pendant still lying on the ground. Arzel: hehehe GMRune: The pendant looks so harmless. =) Arzel attempts to smash the pendant with his staff GMRune: A backlash of magic hits Arzel's staff, causing it to rebound into his face. Arzel: I thought something like that might happen Kadan stumbles backward, covering his eyes. Kadan whispers to himself. "That pendant..." --> Kadan Is kadan following Arzel? Or if he still at the ring of stone slabs? Arzel walks back aways and casts fire arrow at the pendant *Kadan* Kadan is hiding at the foot of the dragon statue. --> Kadan There's no dragon statue. :\ There was a dragon carving, but that was on the ground. Kadan winces at the sight of the magical plume of burning flame. GMRune the pendant seems to harmless absoprb Arzel's spell. *Kadan* Oh. =) Pick another amusing animal then. =) Arzel: sigh, well I'm out of ideas Kadan: Hmm... even the wizard cannot break it... GMRune: Kadan hides behind a statue of a warlock out in the streets. GMRune: The two of you hear a chuckle up above you. Kadan turns his attentions to the sky. GMRune: You see the white-haired young man from the tavern sitting on the rooftops. Arzel looks at the man Kadan observes the man quizzically. GMRune: Man: You won't be able to break the pendant that easily! *** Tarrant (beatlem@ppp51.s5.pgh.net) has joined channel #lunarrpg5 *** Mode change "+o Tarrant" on #lunarRPG5 by ChanServ Arzel: I figured that out Kadan looks at the pendant, then back at the man. GMRune: Man: True enough. You'll need a much stronger power to do that. GMRune: Man: But you're wasting your time here. Arzel looks at them man Arzel: Power? GMRune: The man appears to be in his early twenties, except that he has long white hair. Kadan stands up. GMRune: Man: Yes. And you won't find it here. Besides (he shrugs), the Serpent Staff is no longer here. Kadan cups his hands around his mouth and shouts. "Where is the staff?!" Arzel: The staff? where did it go? GMRune: Man: The staff was taken by the warlocks. Kadan curls his lip at the mention of the warlocks. Arzel: Da*n Tarrant: Where was the staff taken? GMRune: Man: While you were busy with the magical guardians, one of them was able to steal it away. Arzel sighs Kadan: What the... I saw no warlock there! Arzel looks at Kadan GMRune: Man: They have ways of hiding from your sight. Kadan peers at the man with a puzzled look. Arzel: they have more magic than me or Tarrant GMRune: Man: Anyway, they've taken the staff to their base in Shelladon. Kadan acknowledges Arzel, takes a step away, then returns his gaze to the white-haired man. Kadan 's eyes open. "Shelladon... I've heard much of that city." GMRune: Man: They plan on using it for some ceremony of their's. *Kadan* that's where the resistances biggest base was, right? Arzel: Well thats always a fun place to go (sarcasticly) --> Kadan Yes, is *was* one of their biggest bases. *Kadan* Right Kadan looks down. "Blast!" GMRune: The man nods solemnly. Kadan: How dare those fiends defile such a glorious city with their... their... magic. Kadan looks up at the man again. "What do you have to gain by telling us this?" GMRune: Man: I wish I had arrived in time to aid you, but I had... pressing business. Arzel looks back down a the forgoten pendant GMRune: The man smiles. "You can say this is a sort of duty of mine. Arzel examines the man looking at his clothing GMRune: The man's wearing a simple grey tunic and pants. Kadan: Well, I certainly know what needs to be done with that staff. Kadan takes a deep sigh. Arzel leans back against a close building GMRune: Man: So if you still want the staff, you'll have to go to Shelladon. I can arrange for a way for you to carry this pendant too, if you wish to keep it. Arzel looks at the man Kadan grins. "Well, I suppose I had really hoped that this operation wouldn't have been so easy. Thank you, oh mysterious sir! If you need to contact me, you may find me in Shelladon." Arzel: That would be much appreciated. Kadan looks around for an exit to the small village. Tarrant: Thank you kind man GMRune: The man grins. He raises a hand and the pendant levitates. A grey pouch appears and the pendant is lowered into it. GMRune: He gives the pouch to Arzel. Arzel takes the pouch GMRune: Man: This pouch will prevent the pendant from harming you until you can destroy it. Kadan heads down a wide road to the north. Arzel ties it to his belt GMRune: Shelladon lies to the northwest. Kadan pauses, acknowledges the instruction, then continues. Arzel looks towards the northwest Arzel wonders if Kadan is traveling with them Kadan peers around his shoulder occasionally, careful to keep a safe distance from Tarrant and Arzel. Arzel: sigh Arzel looks to Tarrnat and the man. GMRune: As the three of you get ready to leave the town, you notice the young man seems to have vanished into thin air... Tarrant turns to Arzel. "Well do you think that Kadan is on our side Arzel?" Kadan takes one last look at the sun, then gazes across the northwestern horizon. Arzel decides to start after Kadan Arzel looks back to Tarrant "I wonder that myself" GMRune: You three leave the small town (Kadan a tad ahead of the others ^_^) just as the sun begins to set. *** GMRune has set the topic on channel #lunarRPG5 to Wilderness - 0 S - 8 MEXP Kadan watches the stars slowly emerge from the sky above, thankful for the cover from sight it will provide him. Kadan: it = night Arzel <> GMRune: <> Kadan is not stopping until he reaches Shelladon. Arzel looks to Kadan Arzel: <> GMRune: <> Tarrant pulls his cloak over his head to sheild him from the cool air Arzel sighs and continues after Kadan GMRune: The three of you continue traveling in the dark, although it is difficult to see. GMRune: A lonely howl echoes in your vicinity. Kadan tries to pick up his pace a bit, sensing in the back of his mind that he is still being followed. Arzel quickens as Kadan quickens Kadan considers the howl comforting compared to the prospects of who is following him. GMRune: Arzel's robe snags on the rough bark of a tree. Arzel tries to free it GMRune: And a crackling sound emerges to your right. Tarrant grabs a mold covered branch from of the ground and uses a weak lightning spell to make a torch Arzel looks to the right Arzel: Umm, Tarrant would you help me GMRune: You see two archbushes emerge from the woods. GMRune: I mean... ambushes... :P Arzel: 2 what?? Kadan spins around as he hears the rustling from the distance behind him. GMRune: Or whatever those stupid bushes in TSS are called... Kadan: <> =) GMRune: <> Arzel: oh great GMRune: The Ambushes chitter and crackle as they head towards the stuck Arzel. Arzel: Tarrant help me get my robe out!! Tarrant pulls on arzel robe and tears it. Kadan sees his two pursuers in a struggle, and quickly tries to take advantage of the opportunity to lose them. GMRune: ---round 1---- Kadan sprints across the road to the northwest. Arzel: Come back here you coward Tarrant: Hey you come back here Tarrant: Ahh that dumb barbarian GMRune: The Ambushes chitter and trundle up to the pair. Kadan <> GMRune: <> GMRune: The first Ambush wacks Arzel for 2 damage. GMRune: Arzel casts Fire Arrow and burns the first Ambush for 16 damage. GMRune: It shrieks and looks deeply offended. GMRune: The second bush whacks Tarrant. 1 Damage! GMRune: Tarrant casts Thunder Bolt! A white bolt of lightning rains down on the second bush! Tarrant: Ya thats right you mean bush GMRune: 23 damage! It squeals and backs off a bit.. Arzel: hehehe!! Arzel: good one GMRune: ----round 2----- GMRune: Arzel lifts his wooden staff and whacks the first bush around the branches! GMRune: 4 damage! Arzel: whoo hoo! GMRune: The first bush trundles up to Arzel and smacks him with its branches. GMRune: 3 damage. Tarrant: Nice try Arzel GMRune: The second bush also attacks Arzel. Arzel: Hey, I don't have much magic left GMRune: 2 damage! Arzel: You kill the damn thing GMRune: Tarrant calls down another bolt of lightning and incinerates the second ambush! GMRune: The bush dies. GMRune: ---round 3--- GMRune: Arzel fire arrows the last bush! It dies!!! GMRune: ---victory--- Arzel: good! Arzel: <> GMRune: I presume Arzel and Tarrant will follow Kadan's path? Arzel: <> Arzel: yup GMRune: Okay. Kadan has more intense passions in this world than wealth. Arzel sprints as well as he can after Kadan Kadan assumes he has sufficiently lost his pursuers, and breaks his run. GMRune: -----End Session #0 Part 2---- GMRune: Okay. We'll stop for now and wait until everyone else shows up. GMRune: Then we'll start Session #1 GMRune thinks this is sooo nuts!
