Subject: Well, since you asked so nicely
"Indeed, if you have no objections we should make a point of checking on Varis, that casting must have taken a lot out of him." Karrain strokes his beard, half closing his eyes.
"Any practical dueling arena will suit me perfectly, one with an open roof would be the perfect choice."
He could still feel the tug of the prison at his Mana Body, despite the fact that it had long since lost its integrity...which meant that Sy'karios had intended for it to eventually dissolve, drwaing Karrain back not to imprisonment, but destruction. Assuming he didn't do something about it within the next hour.

"Good, good. I'll meet you after the Decadance Parade and have things organised then." With a parting smile, Raichen strides away swiftly, past a familiar, black-cloaked figure walking the other way.
"Well, it's good to see you're all here." Verkoth casts a glance around at the marketplace before motioning for you to follow him. "I'm afraid Al'Ral could be on to us, I sent Regarial ahead to distract him, as the two apparently know each other, and why I don't suspect the elf of betrayal he's taken longer than I expected...meaning we'll have to move fast. Are you all ready?"

No, Savan has no idea what caused the portals to collapse, he's just slightly disoriented and rather confused by his circumstances especially as he can't see the wolf due to the lighting conditions.

Subject: This is why I don't live in trees any more
With a string of tribal elven curses, Savan wrenches open his eyes making a quick appraisal of what he can by the firelight.
"Rotting Ancestors, what is this place." A voice unused to common exclaims, his accent a surprisingly heavy mix of elven and draconic.
The elf pulls his bullseye lantern from his belt, setting it on the floor and beginning to light it.
"And who let that Spirit-Dammned wolf in here anyway?" Setting tinder to flint, Savan grimaces the smoke around him grows, glancing up briefly from his work to meet the golden eyes of Kvashlor, the elf's slate grey ones reflected dimly within their curved recesses.

Later...Redbrick Way
------------------------------------------------
Crystal, Lantaris and Takra stand in the bustling marketplace, eyeing the vendors and their wares, as well as the numerous shady individuals that cast frutive looks at the bulging moneybags hanging by the many off-duty soldiers' belts. A glance to the clock reveals that Verkoth is running late, surprisingly, as well as a few other scences of interest, chiefly a Valsavatharian guard pointing Crystal out to a prospective theif then making a seires of increasingly unsublte warning gestures and...much to the mage in question's surprise, the familiar, pale face of Circle Master Raichen, his green robes a contrast to the crowd as he pushes through the masses, raising his gnarled staff in greeting.
"Ah, Journeymage Hardwood, a word if you don't mind."
Approaching closer, he appraises the trio before drawing his charge aside, his voice low and measured.
"I will be meeting with King Skantea in half an hour to join a council of monarchs, we shall be discussing mage and troop depolyment in the north and south...if the other kings are not adverse I should find you a place alongside several Senan Orange Circle War Mages forming an anti-Celian attack group. That will mean you shall be posted to Orsal to repel the Celian landings there..."
A pause as Raichen licks his dry lips before continuing.
"I probably shouldn't tell you this but you could go far from this, Crystal, many of us have forgotten about Davule's loss and the King himself clearly trusts your records enough to post you in a location as vital as Orsal...if you perform to your usual standards I may even see you promoted to Cadremaster after the initial assault and after that...well, many mages have memories based upon rank."

Karrain shrugs, checking the room.
"I came in just as you'd finished, as for those two missing guards I wouldn't know, when I returned the room was in the same state it is now...this appears to be a day of strange occurences."
"As for our duel, I would suggest somewhere quiet, away from the public view. I'm afraid I am new to this Tithuania, however I recall that the Old Temple was frequented by apprentice mages who wished to settle scores when I was last here."

Great post Chessic. I could have read that out of one of my Heroic Fantasy novels. Although the multicoloured script was slightly jarring...

"Reok Keal." The Barbarian drums his fingers on the pommel of his sword, squinting up at the ship.
"A spoilt, egotistical brat, eh? Sounds like someone I used to know. Don't worry, I'll control myself until we no longer need him."
A pause as Reok adjusts his grip on the blade steeling himself for the hobble up the gangplank.
"Well, at least they'll know how to treat splinters on a ship."

Subject: May the best man win...that's me
Karrain smiles, relaxing slightly.
"If it is acceptable to you we shall duel to the standards of Old Ethros, each of us designate a Second to ensure that no foul play comes to pass, we then fight until first blood or until another is unable to continue physically or mentally. We may at any time agree to a stalemate or back down."
Stepping back and scanning the room the Sacrelarch waited, hoping to pick up anything untoward that the Captain might turn against him.

Subject: Well then.
reok grins with as much of his face as he can, before motioning to the door.
"You read me like a book, half-orc, the less the authorities and I see of each other, the better." The barbarian begins to hobble towards the doorway, unsheathing his sword yet again, and using it as a crutch.
"So, tell me, if I'm to sign up to this mad scheme of your's where exactly are we going? What's the pay, how long are we going to be at sea and can I strangle that Behorned Son of a Cambion once we're on board?"

Topic: Nomachron: Tides of Time
Subject: Dungeon Crawl
Savan ducked the ancient scimitar, kicking the skeleton's feet out from under it before stamping hard on its skull. Whipping around a gloved forearm snapped another creature's neck as his crossbow felled the last of the undead quartet.
"Karal Vast Entah-May you stay dead."
Shouldering his weapon, the Elf stares around the masuleum, satisfied that it is cleared.
"Kvashlor, come, we must go now..." Both Eagle and Elf stop as a faint rustling of bones on stone echoes softly through the chambre.
"-Your life as you has known it changes this night. Nomachron is in great peril, and you are all that stands at the brink of her destruction, capable of bringing her salvation. I implore thee, for whatever reasons may guide your step, enter now the portal before you, accept your part in the world’s destiny, and carve out your own.-"
The two shared a look, even as the bones swirled together, forming into something shaped vaguley like a man.
"Hmm." Savan apprised the fast-growing monstrosity before him before turning to regard the doorway, fifteen paces away and surprisingly larger than it had been before...
His departure was silent, save for a hiss from Kvashlor as the eagle's green feathers were brushed by the glowing energies of the portal.

Subject: To settle a score...
As DHarem leaves Karrain turns from Thomas' unconscious form, striding back down the way they had come. He had endured too long in the Mana Prison to be trapped in another cage of politics and unfortunatley for the Tithuanians he was exceptionally good and breaking out of prisons.
Flinging the door open the Sacrelarch strides back to the main room, a dozen Anathemum incantations on his lips.
"Well, Captain, I almost forgot that you'd mentioned a duel. Now that you seem to ahve been relieved of your responsibility of guarding the 'assassin' perhaps we could expand upon that theme?"

Rege grins, taking a draught of wine.
"Well, if you'll excuse me mentioning, you've got the look and accent of a foreigner, not unlike myself. I take it that you've been in Coast for a while, long enough to call it home at least." He pauses, finishing the wine and setting the empty cup down.
"As for me I've been wandering for so long I can't remember where I'm from exactly. Somewhere in the west, north west, it was lush, green land...called Talfel or something like that. Hopefully the Celian's haven't got there yet...although I'm sure my countrymen would bloody their noses." The Elf trails off his eyes snapping into focus.
"Well, that's my story, wandered the north and west for almost a score of years now, what are your tales?"

Nodding to Bon, Karrain strides into the guardhouse before apprising the scene before him with a glance.
"I see you haven't had a drink for a while. Remind me to get Varis to tell you all the bad news."
"I assume that the captain did not let you see master Thomas and did his best to ensure we would not see you again either. In which case I suggest we remove our friend from this place, a man who believes that murder can solve his problems is unlikley to be a good gaoler to an injured foe of his."

"Indeed." Karrain crosses his arms before striding towards the guardhouse. "I'd like a word or two with Thomas myself or to at least see the condition he's in. I'm no healer but pumping enough mana into a wound generally makes it get better."
"Care to join me or watch our good friend coreograph his men in another dance of futility?"

"'Afternoon, Captain." Karrain looks up, eyes cold and blank, haven't mistaken DHarem for another murdering fugitive, have you?"

"I take it the continent you have heard of is Sylvor, I spent a few weeks there myself before moving on. As for the other one, well I'll make you a deal, you find me a healer and I tell you about the Daemon-infested, ash-choked, flame-blasted wilderness I call home."
Reok holds out his good hand, smiling through his bruises and splinters.

Rege nods before striding over to the bar and, after a quick apprisal, retrieves an aged bottle of wine, it's label so faded it's origins are indecipherable.
"Well, looks like all we've got up here is vinegar...which'll be a nice change from what I saw down below." He flicks the corck out and proceeds to retrieve a number of glasses from the counter.
"As for the Greenjade you can forget about me and the rest of this suburb going up in amusingly coloured gouts of flame, when I arrived here at Orsal I had most of my kit siezed 'for the war effort' I'm just limited to a few quarrels at the moment which might, if you wish hard enough, blast a hole in my pack."
The Elf hands out the drinks before returning to his seat.
"So, how's life been treating all of you?"
