hundinman Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Aerial, on his way home from a hard days work at his Alchemist job, decided to go into his favorite tavern, The Lion's Den. Screams of laughter drifted from the tavern among the evening breeze as the sun went down behind the mountains. "Seems like a busy night", Aerial thought to himself, "I hope I brought the package for Mr. Keling that I promised Amy I would deliver." After checking his robe pockets and feeling the small lump of the package, he felt relieved, ready to do some relaxing and drinking. But mostly the drinking. As he stepped inside the dark, cold, smoke filled tavern he noticed what looked to be a piece of parchment lying on the floor. It was almost completely concealed under the bear skin rug which occupied the entrance hall to the bar. Bending down to pick up the paper was a challenge for Aerial. Stooping over the Alchemist's couldrons all day was no easy task for an already weak back. After reading what the parchment had to say, he turned around without even thinking until he was well on his way to the burnt mill.........................

Breton Thief Oriana Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Kataiyo appears dissapointed, but understanding. He then speaks, "Ok then. I'll go hunt for some provisions, as long as you guys are ok on whatever I find. While I'm out, I'll keep my eyes open for a suitable weapon." As Kataiyo stealthily wanders the wilderness, he comes upon a dead villiger with nothing but a peasantry shirt and pants. With his small iron blade, he cuts the cloth into rope. Kataiyo then uses this rope to bind the glass bottle shards to his right bracer. He pierces the cloth with the glass making sure that a smooth side is toward his skin. He makes sure that it is suffeciantly anchored. Kataiyo then uses this rope to attach the five inch blade to his left bracer by tying it down. Kataiyo comes upon a nest of black snakes in the river nearby, but, although snake meat is tempting, he dares not delibretly disturb them, as they might be poisonous. He then sees a small shrubary of wild onion growing. He picks all that he can and quitly makes his way back to the burnt mill. "I know that you've seen enough fire, Quarian," Kataiyo proclaimed as he entered, "but these are just as good raw. If you are interested, near where I found these, I also saw a nest of moccasins, which are delicious smoked in onion. Are we going to camp within this building, or out in the wilderness, inconspicuously?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDRud216 Posted February 13, 2004 Author Share Posted February 13, 2004 Sounds great, It will be just like old times Quarian once again let the memories of his family seep into his thoughts. Coming back to the world, and seeing Kataiyo waiting with an expectant look on his face, he said: I am not sure that it is safe to stay in the mill another night, The soldiers have probobly stumbled across one of my letters by now. But we must return here often, we will wait out of sight for any other people who wish to offer resistance. Let's move out, I think it is worth our time for me to explain some more about my plans once we reach a safe distance away from here. The three walked out through one of the empty doorways and out into the wild, Kataiyo leading the way towards their next meal. ooc: check back in the sign up thread, you will find something very interesting that I hope you guys will enjoy!

Peregrine Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 As the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, Alenee finally reached her destination. The source of the smoke the day before that had drawn her here was obvious, a burned mill stood next to burned houses and burned crops. An unusual place for trouble, that close to the Imperial capital, she had thought when she decided to investigate. Where punishment by fire was, rebellion could not be far. And rebellion this close to the Empire's heart was just what she needed..... Now she only wished some of her soldiers were here. Even an army of peasants could be dangerous if led properly. But wishes had no purpose here, even by the fastest messenger, her troops were weeks away. Whatever would happen here would be her duty alone. The three men walking away from the mill caught her attention. They didn't look like Imperial soldiers.... but she couldn't afford to get careless. Staying carefully covered in the trees, she followed behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsidianKnight Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Armiena sees a fire, and hears conversation near the burned mill.Obviously not Imperials. They'd want to stay quiet. She decides to follow them, and introduce herself at a more convenient time. If they decide to return to the mill, she will introduce herself then.

Breton Thief Oriana Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Kataiyo leads the two silently down river towards the snake's nest. One of these serpents menacingly rears up out of the water for a second to gleam at its attackers. "This wouldn't be a very good job for me, as my weapons are short," Kataiyo proclaims to the group, "but, if there was a long weapon available, like a staff or spear, we would easily be able to catch all of them. Maybe even a broadsword would work, although it would be better if it was longer. I'll go pick some more herbs and spices." Kataiyo leaves to gather more onion, garlic, and rice growing in a nearby flooded field. He uses the remaining cloth from the dead villager to make a small satchel. Then he collects all that he can carry in spice and rice. Interestingly, he also notices that in this field are wild crawfish. He creeps in his shoes through the water and gathers them one by one in with the satchel of herbs and grains. However, the satchel soon gets wet. Nearby, he notices an imperialist rookie (noticed from the helmet style) guard spoting him from affar. The guard chases him, as this flooded field is a rice plantation, and he is tresspassing. Kataiyo runs at full strength back towards the river. The guard, apparently very swift, catches him soon. However, Kataiyo has sufficient skill in his martial arts to retaliate as soon as the fighting occurs. Kataiyo's companions are watching from up the small hill as He blocks the sword swing with his left wrist's Iron blade. Kataiyo then strikes the guard in his face with the glass, shearing the guard's eye and busting into the guard's temple. Kataiyo then spins the guard around and brings his neck swiftly into Katiyo's knee, breaking the guards neck on contact. Kataiyo, weighted down alredy, can only take the soldiers curiass, boots, helmet, sword, and liquer by strapping it all to his belt. Katiyo then brings his splendor to share with his new companions. "So, any of you guys want 'Dibs'?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensis Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Akechi walked past dark houses and alleyways for a short while before coming upon Dunahad's Inn, the local pub. He plopped himself down and called to the keep for a mug. The days seemed longer since he was alone; his mother passed away just days ago. I can forget it all tonight, I can let it all go he thought to himself. After a night filled with laughing and storytelling, drinking and the occasional roughhousing, Akechi decided to call it a night. He realized maybe he should've called it a night sooner when he tried to go for the door and fell like a rock to the ground. "Ow! What the hell?" He said as he looked up from a ground to see a scrap of paper underneath the doormat. He grabbed it swiftly as he arose from the ground, and halfheartedly waved a good night to the other patrons. Akechi read the note over and over on his way home, and admittedly drunk, decided that he would sleep, and try to comprehend the note again. As Akechi woke, he felt a strange sensation that his life was going to change dramatically. He rose out of bed and took the note in his hand once more. "By the gods!" Akechi exclaimed. Not another word was muttered until he was at the door with a certain satchel he had pulled from secrecy. "It is time," he said, "Father." He then shut and locked the door to his house, knowing he may not ever be able to return. Silently and skillfully he made his way to the foothills of the Rakatal Mountains. Upon viewing the burnt out mill, Akechi didn't notice anyone there. He decided to make camp for the night there if anyone happened to show up. After he set up camp he went hunting for small game. He found two rabbits and ate their meat. Akechi then went to bed. <OOC: I edited my post, since ObsidianKnight didn't seem to notice that I require him to respond to me.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDRud216 Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 Quarian found sport by picking up small stones and throwing them at the snakes, angering them greatly. Kataiyo, I will have the licker, I need it more than any of you right now. After taking a short swig he pulled a sturdy stick from a nearby tree-branch. He made his way slowley back to the snakes nest, keeping at a safe distance he proded the animals. Maybe trying to coax them out of their defencive position and into a position more suitable for his broadsword. Quarian laughed, as though he got a kick out of his new idea. His iron dagger was loose around his waist, and he removed it efortlessly. took aim, and threw it at the nest. Surprised when he saw the headless body of one of the snakes squirm and wriggle out of the nest before abruptly becoming still. I got one! Quarian proclaimed, showing his more childish side.

Breton Thief Oriana Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Kataiyo then get's an Idea, "The helmet could make an ingenious pot. If it is allright, I would like to keep the boots." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
