Subject: Shopping
Well it has been nice meeting you all, We have some shopping to do." Zara says cutting four more slabs of bread and loading then with butter ham, bacon, and some sliced hard-boiled eggs, then wrapping then in squares of cloth, before slipping them into her haversack.
There was little left of the tray of food that had been brought to the table.
"Reverend Sir," Zara turns to Jason, "would you accept our company as you leave."

Subject: Culminatiuon of Round 6
Logan cuts into the two Orcs in front and to the left of him, Orc 12 is moderately wounded in the thigh, and Orc 8 having taken 2 of his 3 hits is seriously wounded with hits to the abdomen and the left shoulder.
Two of Vatta’s three arrows find their target in nonvital places, a leg and an arm and still the Big Orc continues to rally his dwindling forces seemingly unscathed.
Lorae’s green wood blade cuts into Orc 9 and return swiftly for another cut in the same Orc before her third strike connects with Orc 10 and slashes deeply into his sword arm. While this happens Orc 9 had fallen to the ground limp and still.
Goblin 1 tries to grapple Brianna and is forced back by the whirling of her swords.
Brianna’s crackling blade ‘Lightning’ strikes Orc 6 instantly killing him, she then strike with ‘Thunder’ and Orc 7 who had moved up, had his head cut from his shoulder (Crit). With her 3rd strike she comes back with ‘Lightning’ and cleaves the Golbin1 in half, his upper torso falls one way and his lower the other. (Another Crit)
Shadowbane spins left and gallops down on Orc 33 one of the Orc Adepts, trampling him, never to rise and doing serious damage to Orc 16, before biting Orc 3 doing crippling damage to his right shoulder. (Crit)
Moon Dancer: Tramples Orc 29 the highest of the Orc Adepts and then goes on to trample Orc 19 doing him moderate damage.
Xuor see his black bear D9 on the field joined by a second black bear O16. Xuor trains his long bow on the Orcs about Logan and Lorae, as Highnar and Brianna have dropped all but one last Orc. Xuor's shot finds a vital mark and he drops Orc 8. He then targets Orc 12 and adds a light wound to what Logan had already done to him, the Orc is still there, barely. It looks like he is one hit from dropping.
Xuor’s black bear downs two goblins 40 & 41 with one massive swing of each clawed paw.
Highnar’s first attack hits Orc 4 and his second strike downs the Orc.
The newest black bear attacks Goblins 10 & 15 killing both of them
Unseen by all, the High Adept Orc 29 is crushed to death along with Orc 23 and Orc 28
Cerric Khalidran is aghast by the horror of the carnage.
Orc 3 Leader swings his orc double ax on Shadowbane and does the big black moderate damage as he charges in, but misses his second hit entirely as his right arm goes limp
While the gods and goddesses seem to be favoring the valiant warriors, the opposite is true for the enemy. Except for the Orc leader all have missed their shots, throws, or strikes. Also sosme of grass and vine entangled lumps have ceeased struggling.

"Sorry," she says aloud and then Zara whispers to the big Felani, "Pretend that you are going somewhere else than us. So you go off your way before we each go our ways. Near the center of the market is a big fountain, meet us there. For the rest of this meal do not use Septimus's name either first, nor last,and don't mention the Barrens, or grouping together."
She starts to sit back up and pauses, "Oh, and the Prince has gathered the needed supplies, and they await us at the Livery of the Stone Horse where we will set out from."
Zara sits up and wipes off the fork. "Thanks for the help. So, you need supplies? The marketplace is in the center of town, it would probably be the best place to buy your supplies. Where are you going?"
Typical of Zara, this was said all in one breath.

Subject: Zara
Zara grabs a plate off the tray and puts on a 1/2 dozen slices of bacon, a thick slice of bread slathered in butter and drizzles it with honey.
"You can't go out witout eating," she says passing the plate to Jason.
Which assumes she does not think what Jason ordered could ever be though of as a meal.
"We bought enough for everyone."
She then returns to her plate and after it is cleaned, she takes the bowl of porridge, put an handfull of nuts and another of dried fruit into it and follows that with a big dollop of honey before stirring it all together and then tucking into it as if she had not just finished a plate of food.
She then drops her fork on the floor and bending over she tugs of the pants of the Felani, hoping he will lean over so she could whisper to him.

Subject: Elessarae
Steel. That she had steeled herself to battle on, was what now keep her from falling on her face even before the dead Goblin Captian hit the blood spattered earth, with some of the blood her own.
Steel and the knowledge that what they were to do was vital to the Elven Kingdoms drove her to remain cognizant enough to apply healing to herself as fast as she could activate the wand.
Steel to the earth, using her sword as a cane she pushed her weary body up from her knees, the echoes of her magically heal wounds, made her stomach roil. Before coming round the building she stuck the captain head on her sword, and picked up the other goblin's head and carried it in her upraised left hand.
Steel stiffened her legs and she lifted the Captain's gory severed head right arm high so all could see their leader's head as she moved to where she hoped the Mage was.
Steel fills her voice, once she could see enough of the goblins. She cries out in a loud voice, the goblin words bursting from her mouth.
"Fools, the Army is right behind us."
Even as she speaks she analyzes the field and the conditions around the Mage. She is hoping to demoralized the goblins, but is prepared to throw the heads at some of them, and go to the defense of the Mage.
Steel-heartened, she advances with determined tread.

"I bet I can make it better," Zara reaches into her haversack and pulls out a honey pot because that was what was glazed on the small ceramic jar, and a small mesh bag and hands them to the Felani. "Here, add some honey and some of the stuff in the bag. It's sliced nuts and dried fruit."
"Ahhh good, here comes Septimus and some of our food."
Behind the pirate came a serving lad carrying a tray loaded with bread, cheese, butter, some hardboiled eggs, a bowl of fruit perserves and two quickly fried ham steaks.
"Cook says the rest'll be ready in 15 minutes." On the tray were plates and eating utensils.
"Dig in, friends," pipes Zara cutting a thick end piece off a still warm loaf of bread. This she slathers with butter and jam and a piece of ham on top of it all. "Bring back a bowl of porridge for me," she calls after the boy.
"Yummmmmm, I'm famished." She mutters just before biting down on the open-faced sandwich.

Subject: Zara
A quick flash of tongue shot out as Dae departed. She look over at Septimus, at his hip high black boots and tattered black cloak.
She gathers her haversack and staff and leaves the room, "If your late to breakfast you'll only get the bottom of the porridge pot."
She dances down the stairs and looks for Dae, who she found ordering breakfast. She licked her lips at the mention of slabs of ham steaks, a rasher of bacon, two loaves of bread, a half wheel of cheese, and 2 dozen hardboiled eggs, and big serving of shredded potatoes cakes fried in butter.
As Dae ordered Zara looked about, her eyes came on the first Felani she had ever seen. She could not help but stare at him, he was so massive. The color of a clouded snow leopard, these she knew since they lived in the mountains where her home was. AS he lifted a large spoon of porridge, She caught site of the the Ring on his finger. This Felani was one of their party.
"Dae, another party member," she says before hurrying across the room.
"Hi, I didn't expect to see you here, can we sit with you." She looks like a short teenaged Elf dressed in tannish gray and green. Her hair is unbound in a glorious riot of golden waves falling well down her back held somewhat in place by a diadem of rose-gold with a bright goldish-yellow faceted crystal in it the size of a copper coin(a bit bigger than a nickle).
She holds out her left hand with the ring and sits before he even answers, then she whispers, "You're one of us. Act like you know me, name's Zara."

"Can't I just shine and not rise." Zara mumbles from under the covers. And then what shows of her does shine, a bright golden white glow that came from within.
Then one eye opens, "Oh, bother!" she says as Dae is standing there already dress and packed, She pushes back the covers, the shine gone and she uncoils from the warm nest she had made for herself. "There goes my beauty for the day."
Zara yawns, and begins to undress. "Time for traveling clothes."
She stands by their bed and pulls out what she packed for traveling. Taupe gray leather pants, and moss green shirt, a taupe gray leather jerkin with pieced and pierced work of moss green and darker taupe gray, and a set of high laced boots with the same designs as the jerkin.
"Watch this," she announced and with a few words of an arcanae encantation, the clothes disappeared from the bed and appeared on her.
"Oh, Varax," as she looks down and see that her pants were on over her boots, and her socks were on her hands. With a creak of ropes she plots down on the bed and pulls off the socks, and then her boots and then puts them on correctly; socks under her pants and boots over her socks and pants.
"I have to work on that."
She looks to Dae, "Have you washed, or do you want a quick clean and freshen?"

Zara looks at her half sister, as Jason enters the room through the window.
"Its Jason's companion," she relies pulling her stuff from the bed where she had recently wakened. "I have invited Septimus to join us as there in a dead man in his room."

Subject: Dwarf Mage.
(Before Jason climbs the rope.)
The old Dwarf mage watches for a bit then turns to Septimus and Jason. HE clear his throat with a deep cough.
"Well Lads, I don't think this mission is for me. I promised the Prince to get someone to join you and I thought that I would be the man for the task. But I will be the first to admit that these old bones of mine and this bad leg." he taps his leg with his staff and what you hear is the thunk of wood on wood. "will not get me through this. Nope, But I will get back and find you the best mage I can to fill my place, now they may not be me but neither will they have my drawbacks. So by morning One will return here if I have to curse them. They will have the ring."
He shakes his head his long bread shaking with it which scatter a spray of sparkling drops into the air. "I was kind of looking forward to another adventure." he says gruffy, perhaps to cover the hint of sadness in his voice perhaps because the wet weather was making him hoarse--one couldn't tell for sure.
The old dwarf looks up and then back to the two men, "Best o' luck, to you all, your going to need it" With that the old dwarf turns and limps off leaning a bit heavily on his staff, fading into the shadows of the night.
This left Septimus and Jason standing there alone and the drizzle turned into rain and the rain increased.

Zara had to wrap her arms and her legs around the creature to get him up to the level of the window and from there he was able to scramble in leaving a few clawmarks on the window frame and sill.
"Sort of big for a wolverine," she comments once inside.

Topic: The Chakran Portal - an Adventure in Audalis
Subject: Elessarae
Elessarae blinked back tears of pain brought by the crushing blow to her arm and she drops the head. In a flash she side steps to the Goblin's off side making it harder to reach her and backs well away knowing she had opened a major vein in his neck and he would soon die. Making him come to her would only cause him to bleed even more.
Keeping an eye on the other Goblin's she uses the wand twice to heal herself again, and if there is time she will do so again. Once healed to whatever level she can get for now, she will gage the condition of the Goblin leader. If he falls she will take his head too and if he does not fall she will leave him then go to the aid of the Mage and the other guard, holding the one or two heads high to demoralize the goblins.
She taunts the Goblin Leader in Goblin, she wanted to draw him to move toward her as she moved toward the Mage.
"Come! Come to die on my blade, the maggots wait to feed on your carcass. Are you afraid to join me in battle? Would you let a little elf girl frighten you."
(OOC Up to this point I have counted 16 uses out of 50 for my wand, 17 if I get a third chance to use it.)

Subject: Elessarae
Head in hands she uses the wand two more times as she sees where the Goblin Leader had gone. She judges her position and made a quick estimate of which way around the building would get her to the Goblin leader the fastest. Once her decision is made she races to where she can see around the corner of the building and searches for her intended victim, the Goblin Leader.
She hopes to get a jump on him, She has to kill him quickly. With him dead there would be none to rally the goblins.
She could not now worry about the Mage and the Guards, she could only pray that they were safe. Elessare knew how much depended on her strength and skills, but in the back of her mind she was angry at the tower for not sending out a strong force of fighters.
That anger she now used in making herself equal to the missing force. She would be the army that was not, she had to be for the sake of all Elves.
Once she faces the Goblin Leader in battle she sings her song of battle again, calling on all the deities of good to aid her, in this desperate fight. She was fast becoming like a sword tempered by the the hottest fires and quenched in water in between. She prayed that after this tempering that she would be alive to enjoy the quenching.
As she moved in on the Goblin learder she was that white hot sword, ready to strike, ready to quench itself in the Goblin's blood. There was a look of steel in her bearing, in her movements, and in her determination.
By her blade and by herself would they succeed.

(OCC: the ropes were moved to by the girls' window I will assume you will edit. Also I think we will be loosing the new player, but there are two more coming in. Add one more New member to RDINN Driztts, hopefully making a mage. Will delete this later)
"Jason," Zara softly calls down from the roof, "I can lift Midnight up to our room and you can then take him to yours,"
Zara waits until all are in, then gathers up the ropes, levitates down to the window, and pulls herself in.
She looks up to Septimus, "Please take that bed, I will share with Dae."
Zara then goes to the partly opened door and peers into the hall.
"Dae, we're in here."

Zara takes the ring as other recieve theirs. Looking at it she sees a stylized golden dragon encircling a blue-green field with the Prince's rampant silver stag.
"Mother made these." she comments slipping it on her middle finger of her left hand and feeling it adjsut its size to fit.
"Now we do need to hurry," and as she spoke big fat drops begain falling out of the sky, faster and faster they came.
Zara then walks over to under Septimus's window and levitated up to the roof. There she resets the ropes to hang down beside the gir's window and calls down to the others. "Come on up the ropes."
(The ropes have knots about every 18 inches.)

Zara cocked her head listening so intently that she paused her breathing.
After a few moments she spoke. "He is looking for a hole to hide in."
"Now I think we should get in before it rains again,"
"Jason, are you coming. Your room has two beds, Our new member can bunk with you."
(Now how did she know his room had 2 beds, she and Dae were already in their room when he had gone up.)

Subject: Zara
(Riverwalker delete you second post and edit you first one to indicate that you get to the inn and two figures on the ground near two ropes leading upwards. One of them you just saw jump down but fell slowly from a spot about where you saw the magic missle come from.. One of these seem to be the man bressed in dark closthes described to you by the Prince, you have his signet ring which is to identify you to any one of the party members. Good luck this message will self destruct when we all bet back on track.)
Zara slips out the window and floats to the ground, she lands close, but not too close to Septimus.
"Nice jump," she comments keeping to a neutral subject.
"Anyone you know or was it just bad luck?"
She waits, for a reply out of politeness though she also realizes he might not give one.
"Come to our room," she says moving up to him, "We can let the constabulary know in the morning since he ran off already."
She waits, but when he does not speak right away, "If there is anything you want from your room, tell me and I will get it for you."
Suddenly her head turns ,"Someone approaches," she says looking into the darkness as a figure emerges. Not much is discernable except height and breath since the figure is covered in a long cloak. The unknown one continues to approach.

Topic: A Cold Day in Hell
Subject: Inga Borg Johannsen
Inga walks into where most of the team had gathered waiting for the next transportantion to their destination. Setting down her packs. She looks around for a comfortable place to sit and at the same time looks over the two new members of the group.
One reminded her of some of those old Norse pictures of Vikings. A bear of a man. big framed plenty of muscle and fit as a fiddle. THe other endemolitions expert was so physically differnt, but then neither would have been assigned to the mission had they not been capable-more that capable. Rangers were very capable or out of the Rangers.
(OOC I am not sure how equal ranks, if I am with these two newcomers, deal with each other. Someone PM me if this is not right. Inga does things properly, by the book.)
Inga moves up to the smaller man. "Cpl. Inga Johannsen, medic. Welcome to the team."
When the other is finished she walks over and introduces herself to him also, "Cpl. Inga Johannsen, medic. Welcome to the team."
Introductions made Inga moves back towards her packs and settles somfortably nearby and studies the notes she took during her talk with the base medical personnel. Some of it was old and some common sense, but some of it was new. When the team was nest called together she would go over the common sense, old and the new. Plus she planned to record blood types so she armed with the ncessary information; hopefully it would not be needed but better prepared and ready than not.
Inga lifts her head up every so often to watch what the others are doing. Mostly she just keeps her ears open for what is going one. It is a trick she had taught herself. TO listen while she reads or takes notes. It was like she was alboe to keep it on a seperate channel of input while her mind was eslewise occupied. Not that she ever did it on duty but on her own time she could and did.
If food is available she will eat as she reads--jotting down notes and questions in her own medical journal as she does.
At one point she approaches their computer whiz, the Warrent Officer. Saluting her, she asks. Sir, Can Do you have access to the blood types of the all the team members?"

Subject: My the Pricking of my Thumb
Zara sat up and went to the window, looking out she saw s roguish fellow dangling from a rope and the window open. Sound came out of Septimus's window that told her another was in there already.
Suddenly the man on the rope kicked his foot out of a loop and scurried down the rope like a rat deserting a sinking ship. Then he ran and cursed lowly as his bare feet connected with loose cobblestones.
Beore he got too far Zara sent him a little get along, two fingers of Magic Missles that elicited sharp yelps.

Subject: In the Shadows
"Are you sure, Curly" whispered the first man backed against the wall, a shadow in a shadow.
"Sur' as 'm standin' 'ere, Rat," muttered the second. "It 'as to be 'im. I seem 'im 'nough to know 'im. I knowed 'is walk the moment I set eyes on 'im, same as what he walked the deck with."
"Ok, I got one of the wenches to tell me what room he was in," he points, "that one right there. I already set my rope on the roof now all we got to do is get up to the roof and let ourselves down and into the room. And if'n we wants there are two nubile elves two rooms away, just waiting for us."
Curly gives a quick laugh, "Sounds good, us pleasurin' ourselves adter we does him in. Reember we need his boots and that necklace."
"You get me in quick and quiet and I'll scrag 'im. Price on 'is 'ead is Dead or Alive. Dead is fine with me, as he literally throwed me off 'is ship."
Using a convenient chimney sweeps ladder the two moved quickly and cautiously to the roof, having taken off their shoes and boots to lessen the sound thay made as they crossed the roof and to stand over the indicated window to Septimus's room.
There were two knotted ropes hung over the edge and both men went off the roof over the side with practiced ease. Rat was an accomplished burgular and Curly, having to leave his sea haunts for the sake of his "health" had luckily found a kindred spirit. The Rat knew his buisness, like how he used a ropr loop the he could quickly tie above a knot to slip a foot into and another about should high that he could slip an arm through and be able to work on a window with two hands.
True to the Rat's skill he oiled the window and opened it with caution until a man could easily enter. He then points to Curly to enter.
******
It was hard to say what woke Septimus, was it the pain in his thumb, like when one picks up a piece of mended sail and finds the needle still in it, or was it the cool night air wafting in the window.
******
Both Dae and Zara feel a pick on their thumb. Had Jason been in his room he would have felt it too.
