Acoran
Well we have enough people so I'll begin.

You all start trotting along with a caravan, it is across the plains from Eteran to Yileth. Nothing of note in the area. It is about mid fall, the grass is brown. THe caravan is about 60 wagons so maybe 6 or 7 hundred feet of caravan.

I'll let you decide if your working as a guard foir the caravaner or if your traveling.

The caravaner is named Jako. There are about a dozen assourted guards walking with the train, and about 15 travelers.
wesaynothin
Naull, travelling for some reason, wanders upon the caravan.

"hello." He says, riding up to the caravaner.


OOC:Does my temple have money?

(I'm not using th Naull from these forums. He's the high priest of the Death Temple)
Switch
Elbras walks alongside the caravan with his trusty sword Seler by his side, donned in steel armour. He looks around the baron area

"Yeesh. I never guessed signing up as a guard for this caravan would be so BORING!"

He sighs to himself.
Acoran
"Greetings sir.' The caravaner resonds to Naull. Then there is a call from on of his guards, he looks at Naull, shruggs, and rides up to the guard.

OOC: The temple is has lots of money but I'm not going to let you over use it, you can have some...Like Dark THings i'm not worring about money unlesss i don't want you to have it.

(Oh and your history with the hunter...not in this RP)
wesaynothin
Avelyn follows the caravaner to the guard to hear what they are saying.


OOC:Dangit! I cant flaunt my power if I never fought the hunter!

-Does this mean I havent met the Death Goddess/ am over 200?


And when u said I can have some death stuff... I dont have full death set (at least let me have my longsword)
Acoran
Ther guard is simpley talking about a small matter somewhere to the back of the train. SOmethign about a broken wagon wheel...

OOC: See my PM for the rest of that stuff
Switch
Elbras looks around at the desolate landscape, yawning...

"Ugh I thought there'd be some action on this trip..."

He scuffs his feet along the ground discontentedly.
I Am That Is Matthias
Shadow was traveling to Tel Vos for telvanni buisness and is guarding thecaravan until he reaches his destination
Switch
OOC: *Cough* Erm, Matthias, this RP is set in another world from Tamriel. You might want to edit your post...
Acoran
OOC I will ahvea map up by the end of today...

The caravan slows to a halt as they prepar to fix the wagon. It appers to be a wagon full of newly collected jewels that are unique to the marsh. As the men begin to work, there is a strange sound from off to the left of the caravan. It sounds like some bird, then again from the opposite side. Suddenly about 30 men covered in grass leep out from the live grass and begin to rain arrowns down on the gaurds. Several rush in with blades drawn. 1 axe, and 2 long swords.

THe caravan master shouts, "Damn it you gaurds! I pay you to stop this kind of thing! Stop them! Kill them!"
Acoran
OOC: Here is the Wep site with the map


Map of Wentara
wesaynothin
Naull turns pulls out his -You made it weak you bum!- longsword and chargest a a couple of grsmmen, trying to mow them down with horse and sword.
Acoran
Your horse reards and kicks one to the ground to decapitate another. the last plunges his axe head into your hourse's side. The hourse screams and falls to the ground, your leg get trapped benith it. the man with the axe pulls it out and raises it about his head yo chop down. About 3 feet of pike suddenly buirsts from his chest as one of the other guards kills him.
Switch
"At last some action!"

Elbras charges at 2 archers and takes them out with a few strikes of his sword before they can fire again. A few more arrows hit his armour from behind.

"Grr..."

A male with a longsword attacks him from behind, he gets a strike into the back of his armour leaving a slight dent, he turns around and strikes at the swordman, engaging in swordplay with him for a few minutes before finally managing to run him through.

"Whew..."
Acoran
Within minutes the rest of the highwaymen were all killed. Two of the guards were dead as well. One comes over to Naull and helps pull the horse off him.

The dent in Elbras's armor is making it dificult to breath.

The caravaner is assesing the damage, 1 wagon ruined and 2 dead men, four ingered.
wesaynothin
When Naull got up, he looked at the two dead men. He walke dover to them and prayed over them.

He started to help fixing up the caravan.
I Am That Is Matthias
While Shadow had gone off wandering to find food for himself he missed the attack on the caravan. after seeinf the wounded he walked up to the caravan leader and asked if they needed a healer to heal the wounded.
wesaynothin
Writing for Acoran:

OOC:I am That is Matthias, when did you become a healer? Weren't you a guardsman? Your signup said you were a warrior....

Please stay current with your character.
Acoran
OOc Wesay's post is correct....that was by me

Soon the ingered are tended for and the wagon that was ruined had its supplies distributated to other wagons. Once the caravan was on the move the rest of the trip was uneventful, until you reach the small town of Lorkal. The town is, or was, a small trade market, now it is a group of house skeletons. The village was burned to the ground.
Switch
(OOC: Sorry I haven't posted in a while, had problems getting to the forum the past 5 days.)

Elbras has long since taken off his battered breastplate.

"Oh... great... after all this way too! Just when I was hoping to find a blacksmith to fix this..."

Elbras takes a look around the ruins.

"Anyone alive in here?? Hello?"

The only reply he gets is silence.
I Am That Is Matthias
OOC: Mage/warrior minor healing skills a battlemage of sorts.

Shadow walked over to the wounded guards and looked at there wounds. "I cant fix these beyond my power maybe we could find a monk or something.
wesaynothin
Naull looked around, unfazed.

He found the remains of a temple, presumably to the creator (Or whatever. You choose Acoran) and tries to pervrt the magical energies there to those of Death.



OOC:O.k., I'm going to explain my character here, since you probably have no idea who I am.

Naull is THE High Priest of the Death Temple. (He deserves it too. If you know what he's gone through....) He has a sword that Acoran made really weak, but was a gift from the Death Goddess herself. Thats basically all the knowledge needed for him.

Acoran, If I forgot anything/ you changed somethin, please say
Acoran
The ashes were cold, as well as the magicka from the temple.(fire) The caravaner says "This, THis can't be I was told that jyst 1 week ago this was a live prosperace city..." he trailed off
"Come we should find the dead and perfore rights or something." a guard said.

THe gaurds and a few travelers spread out and begin to bring the bodies to the street.
Switch
Elbras carries the charred corpses of a man and female on his shoulders over to the collection that was now building up in front of the caravan, looking a bit paler than usual. He puts them down and heads back into the village to gather more.

"Well this isn't exactly what I envisioned when signing up for this... corpse duty..." He sighed as he picked up another 2 bodies.
wesaynothin
Naull sat walked over to the large pile of corpses and started praying over them.


When he was finished, he tried to find the caravan leader
I Am That Is Matthias
Shadow walks into the town and goes over to waht looked like A sewer entrance.
Acoran
Mattias find the sewer enterance, it is a little battered but appers to still open. THere is the stench of burned feces riasing form the small door.

Naull finds the caravaner sittign on his horse overseeing the corpse removal.

Soon all the boodies are found and piles in about seven heaps.

THe guards begin to salvge what is left of the suplies in the town, whih is almost nothing.
Switch
"Well, one bag of half burnt rice, and a few pieces of cheese, think it's gone off though..."

Elbras adds the stuff to the salvage pile and walks over to Shadow.

"Yeugh! What's that stench? You found something?"
I Am That Is Matthias
" Yep theres some form of necromancy going on down there and im goint to fid out what it is. Are you with me?" Shadow then pulls off the cover and slides down into the sewers.
Switch
"Hmm..."

Elbras walks back over to Jako.

"Shadow's found some sort of sewer entrance or something. Maybe we should check it out?"
Acoran
"Ah, well go if you want, we're staying here for the night."


As mattias drops in he lands in somesort of half hardend liquid. It smells like sewage. There is a tunnel goign both ways about 7 ft in diameter. It is pitch black other than the light comeing in the man-hole.
Switch
"Very well then..."

Elbras shouts out to the rest of the caravan.

"Anyone else want to come? We're checking out the sewers! Maybe we'll find some clues as to what happened... anyone??"
Acoran
A few of the gaurds come, as well as one of the travelers.
I Am That Is Matthias
OOC: Are we using dnd rules because then i would get a elven sight bonus that lets me see any living thing in the dark. red aura. Like a light spell cast by a 5th lvl cleric.

Shadow moves along the tunnel to the left and runs down it towards another passage. He pauses and motions to Ebras
Switch
Elbras had caught up to Shadow along with the other guards. He walks up to Shadow.

"What is it? Found something?"
I Am That Is Matthias
I think i saw something lets go check it out.
Switch
"Alright then..."

Elbras motions to his fellow guards and they follow Shadow down the passage.
I Am That Is Matthias
Shadow gets his hands ready for a spell and casts light (of a 7th lvl cleric) He then draws his steel poison dagger and walks over to what looks like a charred body.
wesaynothin
"Not the sewers.... AGAIN!!!" Naull starts yelling as he walks over to the entrance.

"Goddamit. Oh well, cant say Im not used to it by now..." He says, jumping down into the hole.


OOC:Acoran, why do you love sewers so much??????????????
Acoran
OOC: Mattias wanted them i hjust let him have em'

OOC...again: AMttias no elvish sight bonus and i don't really care what leel spell it is....

The corpse appers to be fresh as it is not at all rottem, even after sitting in sewage. As the 'party' looks at it there is noise from down the sewer tunnel. at first it sounds like a rat but then here is a grunt and muttering.
wesaynothin
Surprised at the noise, Naull sends his flanking spell down the tunnel in the direction of the noise.


OOC:Acoran, I think you know the spell I'm talking about?
Acoran
ooc, no i don't....could you remind me?
Switch
"What's that??"

Elbras looks, puzzled, down the passage ahead.
I Am That Is Matthias
"I think its a corpse. lets go take a look"
Acoran
Wesaynothin your spell heads around the corner and you here another grunt and muttering. As the other two walk down the passage they turn a crner and there is a passage going straight with a dim light at the end, as well as a passage going left.
Switch
OOC: God I'm getting confused... there's another corpse, but some sort of monster at the same time... "the other two"?? Who?? Erm... could you clarify what's going on please? Thanks! tongue.gif
I Am That Is Matthias
OOC: Im confused to

Shadow sees the spellcoming towards him and Ebras and shuts duck to Ebras "Watch ir you buffoon." Shadow gets his hands ready for a fireball spell and shoots one off into the darkness.
Acoran
OOC no, no, no your all together, not shooting each other, there is one corspe that mattias found right away and while lookigna tb it you heard some sort of noise from down the passage, as you walked down you see:

"...they turn a corner and there is a passage going straight with a dim light at the end, as well as a passage going left. "
Switch
OOC: Thanks for the info!

Elbras heads down the passage with the guards, swords drawn, listening to the grunting...
Acoran
You rounda corner and see a small lantern sitting on the floor, on a lip above the sewage. around it are two men in red robes. and a third bend over another man in ripped but plain brown cloths. he seems to be very brused and cut up.
