Subject: So begins another day...
Kiirnon Talren
Cafeteria - room - Eastern Forest
Week 1: Tuesday Evening to Wednesday Morning
Zeph was walking out of the cafeteria area as Kiirnon finished up with the dishes he had. He stood up when Zeph turned around and spoke to Darkon about using a bow and the down side of that. Zeph then left the cafeteria to get some rest. That boy seems headstrong and a bit hateful, but I think he will make a strong ally one day
Kiirnon started walking toward the door stopping in front of Darkon. He shrugged his shoulders and spoke his thoughts out loud. "Well, other than learning about each other, we didn't accomplish much." Kiirnon fidgeted a bit adjusting soem of his weapons and gear. "My suggestion is to have you be in a strong melee position with support from me with my bow. Zeph and Sintan can support us with his stealth and strike tactics. Once I am no longer able to use my bow effectively, I will join in the melee. I know Zeph said he usually doesn't use magic, but I hope if he sees an opportunity he will." Knowing the time was late he decided that would be enough. "Sleep on it, and we can discuss it in the morning when we meet back up with Zeph at the forest." Kiirnon offered a handshake, and walked out of the cafeteria, bidding Darkon a good night as he did.
********
Kiirnon hadn't thought about the fact that he had no where to sleep yet. With everything going on he hadn't gotten a tour of the school and had no clue where his room was. He figured he would just do a bit of touring on his own. He pulled his hood back up and repositioned his scarf. He put his trust in the students in his class, but wasn't quite ready to trust everyone at the school.
Shortly after walking around he came across a large courtyard. He saw Zeph and the wolf, Sintan, exiting from a different area. Continuing walking around the school for a bit he saw a few interesting sights. There were passageways and doors of all sizes, some as small as a mouse and some larger than a giant. Everything seemed to have a bit of mystery about it. this will take a bit of getting used to The architecture was as varied and diverse as the races of the world. Kiirnon was starting to get tired when he reached what seemed to be a small study library. He found a student who was packing up their things. She was a half-elf, perhaps around his age. It was hard to tell sometimes. He told her his dilema, and she gladly helped him find his room. He thanked her and hoped he might see her again.
Passing through the door to his room, Kiirnon felt an odd sensation but couldn't place it exactly. He unpacked his things, took off his weapons and armor, and stripped down to his breetches. He settled all his things about the room the way he wanted them. Kiirnon made sure everything had a specific and practical place. The most important was placing his sword by the bed and his dagger under his pillow. He went to his window and opened it. Looking out he found that it opened onto a small portion of the roof. He climbed out and lay on the roof staring at the stars for a while. It was very calming and reminded him of the nights he spent on the roof of his own home. When he started to doze off he climbed back in the window and crawled into bed.
********
Kiirnon woke in the morning before the sun came up. He did a few stretches and proceded to a smaller courtyard area he had found the night before. He was barefoot and still wearing just his breeches, but trusted that not many other students were awake yet. He did a few exercises and ran a few laps. When he was done he went back to his room. Cleaned up a bit and and got dressed and donned his armor. He equipped his weapons after thoroughly checking them over. Kiirnon pulled up his hood and set his scarf as he left his room and headed for the cafeteria. There were some students there, but not many. He found a quiet out of the way area to eat in peace.
When he was done he headed to the forest on the east side of the school. The sun was starting to rise as he arrived and he saw Zeph and Sintan approaching from a different direction. I guess it is time to see how things go

Subject: don't be sad
i guess it is really no big deal. the conversation has ended. we never came up with a real resolution. I guess we will have to form a plan when we all get to the forest in the morning.
I still think Darkon out front in melee, Kiirnon archer support until melee, and Zeph pulling sneak melee with some druid support would work. It would be nice to have more people, but alas we have not that luxury. I just hope we don't get beat down too badly.
Hopefully if all hell doesn't go down tonight at work I will have a post up.

Subject: Medic!
We need a mecic or healer. We may be able to get by without one, but very unlikely. I'm not suggesting it be Zeph either.
Also, I wish we weren't the only ones active. Ion, Levanna, and Briar have been out for a while. I think things would be easier and more fun that way.
I think for now..it may be best for Darkon to be a front line character, Zeph to be the sneak attack and druid support. Kiirnon will take a archer role to start off in the battles and assist in melee when combat gets too close. That is the only thing I can come up with with just the three of us.
Also, no offense taken from Zeph. I understand he is a mean little bugger. However, Kiirnon will be trying to make friends with him, and everyone else.

Topic: RedWyrm School of Online Adventuring
Subject: forgot to tell everyone the eggs were booby-trapped
(OOC: This was supposed to be said earlier, but I had some issues with the computer. I apologize.)
Kiirnon stayed seated this time still cleaning the pots he was working on. “Darkon is it? It pleases me to know your name. If we are to have this discussion once again, one I thought settled by Professor O'leary behind closed doors, then I will voice my opinion. I don't particularly care who agrees with it and who does not, and you will not convince me otherwise."
He paused while he set one pot aside and picked up another. "Steelight offered them a peaceful solution. He had no weapon in hand when speaking to them. He was merely prepared for a violent solution if necessary. If that is a crime, then perhaps I do not belong here either. However, I do not believe it unwise."
Hearing the emotion start to creep into his voice Kiirnon took a deep breath to settle himself. "So far as his attack on our goblin friend, while I abhor the fact that it went that far and that fast, look a bit deeper at what happened and the chain of events. Steelight spoke, however harshly, and provided options to the imps. Our goblin friend, and I truly hope that title becomes truth rather than a simple honorary, spoke in a manner that could easily be interpreted by the prideful monk as condescending. I do not know his history, but by his rather extreme reaction I would imagine that is not something he tolerates. Should it have gone that far? Perhaps not. But realize, that Steelight was a member of our team. The loss of him removes a large portion of our front line fighting capability. And the loss of him is as much my fault, or Zeph's or Lavana’s or even your fault pureblood, as it is his. We are supposed to be a team. In order to do so we must support each other. We failed that with excruciating ease, and it cost us a powerful ally at worst, and potentially a good friend at best. Perhaps it was not handled in the best possible manner at the time, on either side. But the time has passed, and we must now reap what we, as a team, have sown."
Kiirnon's legs were starting to go numb from sitting for so long. He stood up and stretched a bit before continuing on. "Now, I personally consider the subject dead, as I said before. It has been dealt with at a level above our own, and we should attempt to put it behind us. So far as the leadership issue and your race... I hold nothing against elves in general. I hide my own race because I am hated for it. I do not seek acceptance for my race, but only for myself. I wish to earn that acceptance, not have it given to me on a silver platter. Regardless of my preferences, it is a fact that your kind tend to be rather haughty and aloof. You speak to me of skills good for living in the woods or camping. You think you are better skilled to lead this group than anyone else, based on what? You don't know any of us or what we are capable of. That is where I see you as arrogant. Every pureblood I have met holds themselves higher than other beings. That is what you are showing me now at this moment. I'm sure there will be ample opportunity for you to prove my first impressions of you incorrect, and I anxiously await your proof."
He picked up a pot and started scrubbing it as he slowly walked around the gathered group of fellow students. "So shall we continue the leadership discussion? Steelight went into the situation expecting the worse and prepared himself for it. He had suggested we get ourselves prepared as well, but you wouldn't know that because you rushed off to what was it… oh yes, 'kick some imp ass'. Then you sided with the goblin in trying to do the right thing, however he chose to go about doing it, when your first thought was to beat them down. How is this showing the qualities of leadership? You first preferred violence, then supported the opposite. Beyond that you then criticized someone else who followed a different path, provoked or not. But this debate is not solely about you. A front-line warrior can lead by example certainly. But how can someone absorbed in a sword fight with multiple opponents possibly see the battlefield as a whole? As good as you may think you are with those blades of yours, I don't believe you, or any of us are quite at that level of skill. The point I was trying to make was that, if we choose someone to direct us in combat, we choose someone who tends to stay in a position to see the whole of the field. A wizard or an archer, or even our healer... and I do hope that we have one. It was not meant as any particular insult to you. Though I honestly believe that once we determine the skills of each individual, we can learn to meld our skills and will not need someone to give us orders. We are not members of the military after all."
Kiirnon moved into a position where he could speak to all his fellow classmates. "Teamwork involves close interaction and planning by the whole team. Working together to find out where we need help and what are strong qualities are. Eventually a good team becomes like a family and works so well together they don't even realize how they do it. We may eventually get there, but for now we have to start small and just learn more about each other."
Kiirnon looked at the time and noticed the few dishes that everyone had left. "Does anyone else have an opinion on the matter? I believe our time is nearly up, and I for one would like to be well rested when we enter the forest in the morning. I have a feeling it will not be easy given the events of the day."

Subject: Sneaky Rogue hid all the Easter Eggs!
Kiirnon Talren
RedWyrm Cafeteria
Week 1: Tuesday afternoon
Kiirnon sat on a stool in the cafeteria scrubbing away at gruel covered pots. this is still beter than Erudan's punishments He had tried a few times to strike up a conversation, but no one seemd to take the bait. I wish someone else would say something
Kiirnon was in the middle of working on a rather tough spot on the side of a pot, when Professor O'Leary walked in. At first he didn't notice her standing there. He sat the pot down and directed his attention toward her.
Once the professor left he returned to his pot, nad the elf immediatly started speaking. Kiirnon had some thoguhts on his mind and was half heartedly listening to the elf. it is saddening that I learn the monks name as I find he is leaving. I'm not surprised at his decision though. He struck me as a stalwart individual He was jerked away from his thoughts as the elf spouted something about nominating himself as their leader. He listened intently after that. When the elf was finished, he went to speak but was beat to the punch by the goblin. I like this goblin's thinking on this issue
With the goblin finished speaking, Kiirnon set down his pot and stood up as he cleared his throat. "Well, isn't that just like an elf. Showing your arrogance by nominating yourself our leader. I think our best chance for someone to be a leader to us just left the school. In light of that point I agree with the goblin." Kiirnon walked around a bit to stretch his legs and let his thoughts sort themselves out before he spoke again. "We don't need to be led. We need to become a team. Figure out our strengths and weaknesses and use them to compliment each other. For example, you elf seem to me to be a capable sword fighter, but you can't lead combat from the front lines."
Kiirnon stopped and took a deep breath. He realized that he knew none of these other students. "Another great example is that I don't know any of you. I don't know your names, though I have told you mine. I don't know who could heal me if I needed healing. I assume the female halfling there," Kiirnon tipped his head in her direction, "is a mage of some sort. Just my guess though. I suspect it is the same for all of us. We need to learn about each other before we can work as a team"
Kiirnon stopped and looked around at the others. He was hoping he was getting his point across. I have to reveal my nature if this is going to work Kiirnon reached up to his hood and scarf as he began speaking again, "I myself am a rogue, I specialize in stealth, quick and quiet murder, and thievery. When not on a job, I wear my hood and scarf around everyone but my family. Not to hide my face so much as to hide my heritage." With that he pulled down his scarf and pulled back his hood. His jet black hair fell down just past his shoulders. A thin white streak started above his right eye and ran the length of his hair. He turned his face upwards and brushed his hair back revealing his slightly elven features, his dark slate gray colored skin, and his ghostly grayish-purple eyes. "Now you can see me for who I really am. I don't want to lead, nor do I think we need a leader. Rather as I stated before we need to become a team. I have revealed my heritage and thus put my trust in the rest of you in hope that we can form a strong team."
With his peace said, Kiirnon sat back down. He picked up his pot and got back to scrubbing that stubborn spot.

Subject: Yeah!!
First, let me say welcome back to Tus. Sorry to hear about rl. It can be a pain sometimes.
Second, I am sad to see the Monk leave. My character was hoping to be friends with him. Steelight does well with combat. I play with him normally and am looking forward to what he has in store for us in this game. Hopefully, it is interesting.
Third, Yeah! I am glad there is another post to get us moving again. Thank you Meri! I know you have been busy. It was nice that you kept us updated though so we weren't just hanging wondering what happened.
Finally, I am looking forward to the continuation of the game. I have some plans for my character, but need interaction from the other characters. Well, I guess that is all for now. I'll be seeing ya!

Subject: Free from the rolling death
Kiirnon Talren
Armoury Proper
Week 1: Tuesday morning
Kiirnon sat looking out one of the available spaces. He could see a large area where the other students were. He saw the monk paralyzed, and the goblin exiting through a different passageway. The half elf with the tap shoes was sitting on the floor, apparently checking to see how bad his wounds were. The other halfling and the elf were making their way through the now receding mob of imps. The halfling stopped and looked himself over once he was through. The elf kept walking toward the die. The elf disappeared from view, but Kiirnon realized he was trying to move the die. (OOC: I assume this is one heavy die, but i'll edit if not) The elf starts to budge it a bit. Kiirnon began trying to push a bit from his end to help, but was weary that it would break loose too quickly. As the two were trying to move the die, a large group broke off from the celebrating imps and approached the die. As they arrived at the die, two of the imps start to shoo away the elf as the rest took up positions around the die. Kiirnon backs away as a few imps squeeze through the largest of openings into the hallway and take positions on his side of the die. In unison the imps lift the die slightly off the ground and begin marching it back to it's proper spot.
Looks like I can finally join everyone else
Kiirnon looks at the elf and dips his head slightly as he walks into the armoury proper. He looks around at the walls, ceiling, and doors admiring the architecture and sheer size of the room he now stands in. Kiirnon turns and addresses the elf, "Thank you for your help."
Kiirnon is now standing in the center of the room with the others spread out around him. I guess I should introduces myself. It's a shame the goblin left already. Well everyone, I know this may not be the best time , but I thought I should introduce myself to everyone. I am Kiirnon Talren. I'm glad to meet all of you. I do wish it was on better circumstances though." As he introduces himself he looks at each of the other students. I'm not sure I quite want to reveal my heritage yet. I'm not sure how they will react. After he introduces himself he walks over to the monk. In a softer voice he says but a few words. "I think you were justified. I hope when you are done with the professor we could talk sometime."
Spinning back around toward the rest of the students Kiirnon speaks up again. "So, I guess we all have to go clean the dining hall now. If someone would lead the way I'll follow. I haven't quite had my tour yet, so I have no clue where to go."

Subject: moving the die
i'm sure i could get the die rolling if i pushed on it but I was afraid that it would run over more imps and player characters and make an eewy gooey mess.
I had also thought if no one did come to help me....of having a team of the imps come over and start moving it back to it's proper place. I'll try to post something tonight regardless. Gotta work in my gardens today.

Subject: I see....
Well, I guess I do. I understand Zeph's plight. I am sure I may have reacted the same way if I were in that situation. In the year that Zeph has been at the school I am sure he has had some bad situations. He hasn't made any change though. I am sure not everyone treats him like garbage, if he would just stop to see it. He is too wrapped around the hatred for everything, with the exception of himself and Sintan. I know he is evil by nature, but perhaps let him open up and make some friends. Then he would have some support from others and not always get the crap end of everything.
For instance my character Kiirnon has been mistreated all his life by the people in his town, with the exception of a handful of friends and family. He is trying to find companions and friends though, instead of being bitter and hateful about it.
Anyway. I'm not trying to lecture or force my views on anyone, just thought I would offer an opinion. Besides it is in the past now and it's time to move on with the game.
Speaking of moving on...really looking forward to seeing the outcome and what Meri has in store for us now.

Topic: RedWyrm School of Online Adventuring
Subject: Stuck in the hallway and missing out on all the fun
Kiirnon Talren
Ouside Armoury
Week 1: Tuesday morning
Kiirnon had arrived at the Armoury with the rest of the group. A few of the others, started making their way through the mob of imps. The monk that had suggested the silver weapons was at a door and just about to open it. I don't even know where to start. I have no clue what is past this mob and behind those doors. I wish I would have gotten that tour already. Perhaps I can help someone else.
Kiirnon stepped into the Armoury proper, and was about to ask where he could help, when off to his right the monk opened a door releasing an enormous purple die. The die was cutting a path through the mob of imps and the rest of the students who had made their way into the mob. Kiirnon stepped back into the hallway leading into the Armoury. The rolling monstrosity was still coming. He took a quick look around and saw no other way to go but back into the hallway. He took another step back as the die came closer, slowing to a stop just before him.
"That was close." he said as he let out a sigh. The problem now was that this enormous die now blocked the way into the Armoury proper. Well this is just great. I'm stuck over here and they may need help.
Kiirnon took a moment to think about his options. Do I try to push the die out of the way? No that would cause it to go rolling again and do more damage. The gaps between the die and the wall were too small for me to fit through. Those angles and number indents would make great handholds for climbing. I can't see how much space I have up above though. Damn this thing is big! Well, for now I'll try yo see what is happening.
Kiirnon peered through a crack that allowed him to see a good amount of the Armoury proper. He saw the goblin helping up some of the imps as the monk emerged from the door he had opened with a set of silver nuchaku tucked in his belt. The monk then started yelling at the imps. He couldn't hear everything but made out that they were being given a choice to play nice or go home. Then the goblin stood up to the monk and started yelling a him. this is not going well at all.
"Damn it looks like they may need some help after all."
Continuing to stare helplessly at the situation he saw the monk strike the goblin, and the wolf lunge for the monk. The goblin was speaking again, but he couldn't hear his words. Then the elf drew his swords, and jumped in to defend the goblin. now that is strange. The situation was tense from what he could see and had escalated to this point quickly this is an unfair fight. someone will be hurt or killed and I am sure it won't be the monk. He seemes too experienced and focused. If I could just get in there and subdue that fool elf, or the goblin. Then perhaps it might calm down. Just then Kiirnon saw the professor emerge from the shadows. The professor gave another woman standing just in the shadow a signal. He couldn't tell what had happened but the monk looked frozen in place and the professor was speaking to him. The imps had stopped the revolt, and began what looked like celebrating. One imp stopped and seemed to be speaking to the professor. As far as he could tell she didn't notice. With the situation calmed some what Kiirnon saw a chance to get out of the hallway.
"Excuse me! I know the situation is tense, but I'm trapped here in the hallway! If anyone could spare a moment I would appreciate some help in getting out please!" Kiirnon yelled loud enough to be heard or at least hoped he did. I guess now I just wait
