Mercbird Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Lisette shudders vissibly, shocked out of a daze that held her immobile throughout the conversation. Was it my that my grasp on fire magic slipped while trying to light the the way? Could the Kharvan Yar's ward have done something to me? No one else seem to have been this much affected. Where is Midge? Who is Midge! While trying to hide her sudden panic and uncertainty from the others around her, she focuses on the one person she does clearly remember.Lurel. "...The Held village..."gritting her teeth"...We may need some help..." To signal her readyness for bladework she takes out what looks to be an ordinary dagger, concentrates, and holds in her hand a slender Katana, breathes deeply as she begins whirling the blade through a kata, hoping to still her mind. Who is this arrogant Siffli? Where did Ari come from? Breath in... and out...No one can see can they? Breath in... and out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 OOC> Mercbird is helping out when she can as Lisette for the moment. Philemon turns to Lurel. "When you have finished whatever you are doing in Branden Forest, let us talk Time. For now where is it you want to go?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Ford looks round at Lisette. He raises an eyebrow. "Are you all right?" He ponders at the mention of picturing a location. He turns to Midge. "Hey, you're better than any of us at photographic memory. Can you picture the location with the kids near the Held village?"

Mercbird Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 The agitation in Lisette's mind eases as she hear Ford's voice. Ford The Tall, how could I get so lost... Stopping the rythmic swing of her blade but not sheathing it, and gives him a small smile."Will be, soon as I get my balance... but just you throw a fight my way, I'm ready." She gives a quick bow to the group" Apologies for baring blades in company, but there did seem to be some urgency? Do we need Midge's memory?We've all been there...lets go already" Patience is for dressing wounds... Aside to Ford: " Is it that da.. obvious?, I thought I was covering rather well" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 "Philemon," Lurel asks, "can you send us to different locations? The children will need out protection, but Thail also suggested that we may need to ask the Held for help. Ari - you know your people better than we do - what are your thoughts? Who should go and ask the Held for help when everything tells me that the children are in danger, and we should be there to protect them?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 Ari tells you that he is sure the Held would all help fight if the children were under threat. "After all they are only a short distance away. Our leader trusts you now. If the children need defending against large numbers of attackers then the larger the defence the better." Philemon says: "I can send different people to different places but perhap that is running a greater risk than you should. The Lindan Yar was assembling in small parties. The Slayers are going to a place a little to the south of where the leadetrs of this campaign have set their camp. Unfortunately I have no idea where that is in relation to the places you speak of or I might suggest we all went together. What I could also do is send you first to the village and then to the children or vice versa. I would recommend keeping together." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 "Very well," Lurel decides. "To the village first, to alert them to the danger. Then on to the children, as quickly as we can." Lurel pictures the Held's village, in particular the defences he helped build, in his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 Your arrival at the Held village is just inside the defences Lurel had helped build. There is no one there now. As you look towards the village proper you see with horror that there are people lying on the ground motionless. From the distance it is hard to make out who but as you dash forward you see two members of the Held and about four others all are dead. The makeshift huts have been ransacked but there are no bodies within. With no time to worry about the whys and wherefores you are taken to the area just outside of the children's refuge. You arrive among trees that conceal you. Ahead in the clearing you can see the refuge is being defended by the Held all bristling with bows and arrows. To your right and left are two large groups of fighters sheltering under the trees. They are equipped with melee weapons. A half dozen bodies so full of arrows they could be porcupines lie between the refuge and the groups of fighters. Things seem to be at an impasse. However the fighters are clearly not too worried. They have access to food supplies. Also they seem to be waiting for something or somebody. You get the feeling that if whatever it is they are waiting for should happen the Held and the children will all be lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Ford grins at Lisette. "You just looked a little agitated. And you hadn't been talking for a while, so..." Once they're teleported into the Held village, he looks around in horror. "Are we too late?" Upon arriving at the refuge he almost breathes a loud sigh of relief that the children are okay, but stifles it as he sees the warriors in the trees nearby. He looks to the others, and then to Lurel with questioning eyes, wondering what to do. (OOC: Welcome to the game by the way, Mercbird. :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Lurel quickly looks around, trying to assess the situation. 'The Held can't hold out indefinitely. What are the fighters waiting for? For the Held to use up all their arrows? If we try to join the Held, we'll most likely come under attack from both sides in the confusion... yet we have to find out what is going on. If we could incapacitate those fighters somehow, to gain time.... but how? I don't like the thought of killing them all - even if we had the means...' He looks at the terrain, and takes a deep breath. 'Perhaps if I could open up the ground beneath them, and drop them into a deep hole.. it would take them time to get out again - valuable time for us and the Held. But will the earth elementals permit it?' Lurel briefly closes his eyes, and attempts to use his earth magic to carry out his plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
