Switch Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Ford shivers slightly at the tone of the man and takes the arrows, looking down at them. He raises an eyebrow. "I only count nine arrows in this batch. There's one missing." He looks up to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 16, 2005 Author Share Posted October 16, 2005 "Don't be ridiculous," The words come out like a snake's hiss. A thing black gloved hand snatches them back. The man then turns to the apparent leader. "He is correct. Where is the tenth arrow?" The leader hurries across and then turns to Siffli. "You had better tell me about this arrow. There is one missing and it is the next scheduled to be used. We cannot use arrows out of sequence. This means we cannot carry out our orders to 'eliminate' the upstarts in the Lindan Yar. This is bad news; bad news indeed. Well, we will be able to in time but we will need to return to Flen and sort out the mess. You thought we were missing one arrow. Do you know where it is?" The last remark is addressed to the whole party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 "I might know where one particular arrow is," Lurel says. "Whether it is the correct arrow, I couldn't say. But I should be able to get it for you - then you could have a look and tell me whether it is the missing one." Lurel relays their discovery to Thaill. "And once you have the arrow back, you'll be able to deal with the Lindan Yar? I'm not happy about them gathering in the forest - not with those poor children so near." Suddenly Lurel frowns. "Who has access to your arrows? Who would have been able to take one?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 "Nobody can have taken one. I only numbered the arrows yesterday. I checked them this morning when I gave them out and there is no risk of anyone taking them from our assassins. What bothers me is that you have been looking for this missing arrow for three days - yes we heard about your questions above ground before you entered the sewers. How did you know the arrow was missing before it went missing? There is something very strange here. Have you any reason to believe that magic might be involved? If so who could be behind the magic. There is almost no magic in Levdia." Somewhere in the dim recesses of his mind Lurel remembers Zekic telling him that as far as most people were concerned there was NO magic in Levdia. Yet this man had made no attempt to suggest he was anything other than hugely powerful. The only magic users known still to be in Levdia were those who predated the sundering of the dimensions. The only thing Lurel can be sure about is that the man is accepting of Lurel's story. And he does certainly sound as if he is on the same side. He says unexpectedly: "Perhaps you have some names I might know?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malchik Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 The man nudges them from their trance. "I believe this is important. I do not understand what is going on. Magic is clearly involved. Magic is very rare in Levdia. To my knowledge there are only a few practitioners left alive. Have you met any of them recently?"

Stampede Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 "Forgive my companions, they are at a loss for words sometimes...I for one fear I do not retain the knowledge to answer your query." *Siffli glares at the others, waiting for one of them to respond.

ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 "Magic users? There are some I know - friends - but I trust them to act for the best of Levdia and its people. However... there are others... we've encountered their influence in other places, where they've been interfering... does the name 'Anromaynyus' mean anything to you? And the one buried at Chert Hollow in the forest? It's there that we first noticed the Lindan Yar following us." Lurel frowns. "The Leader of the Lindan Yar.. some Steve.. Stefan Kovac? Can't remember his name exactly.... he disappeared when we cornered him. Laughed and vanished - as if teleporting away." He looks at the Black Slayer. "Do any of these names mean anything to you?"

Malchik Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 "Like us the Lindan Yar has divisions. You will not have met the leader. Oh I know the name Anromainyus but he is not in Levdia. There used to be several wizards here but most left before the breaking. Anromainyus used to visit - Auran I believe the wizard's name was but he and his wife Damiel left many years ago. Then there was Mascor and Anima and ... but who knows where they are now." He seems lost for a moment in his thoughts. "I was thinking of the four remaining local wizards - besides myself of course."
