Rafia: Blackwind Mountains and Necropia

[Crazy Cow]

Not realizing he had been holding his breath, Mourg let it out. He slipped one shoulder strap under the blade of the sword and let it fall. He then leaned on the blade, getting the other shoulder strap right on the hilt. Able to carry the sword safely, Mourg turned to Taiion and the werewolf newcomer.
"Taiion!" he yelled. "Stop, you idiot!"

OOC:
Sorry about my absence. The server has been screwy all day for me.

 

[grygon]

Raylik reached Taiion but had to fling himself out of the way immediately to avoid the energy spheres headed towards the werewolf "Stop them Vall" He said "Trap them in a force field or something, they'll kill each other otherwise"

 

[dead-man-walking]

Kloth's ever-hated Werewolf instincts began to take over, and he pulled out Hunger mid-air, leaving himself open to attacks.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Taiion sent a jolt of energy and then leapt after it towards Kloth.

 

[Fussiler1]

''Grah! Stop!'' he roared.
He sprinted forward to interrupt Taiion's leap, trying to push him aside before he'd hit the Werewolf.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Taiion detected the subtle pressure changes and added a slight beat to his wings, angling them, managing to pull a few feet higher, but angle down sharper to hi kloth head on.

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: Imma back people!
Hope you dinnae suffer too much during my absence.

Also, BTW.
There is no Vampire-Werewolf conflict in Rafia.
There might be one where Taiion's from, but Kloth is supposedly completely clueless about the vampire's behaviour.

IC:
In the same moment, Kloth swung his axe at Taiion, Taiion lunged out at Kloth with his Soulblade, Niahcluc pushed Taiion, the unnamed wolf tried decide whether to attack Kloth or to prevent Taiion from doing so and Vall cast an unknown spell.
But none of these actions were actually brought to an end.

Zarator, poked the wall for a second time, and a loud,
"WHOUUUUUM"
were heard throughout the cavern.

A force blast flung everybody backwards, though none of them were actually hurt, and out of the wall, a massive, runed golum appeared.
On it's left shoulder, a Drak'Ron clad in black robes sat with his legs folded.
He did not look happy.

 

[Fussiler1]

''What!?'' he shouted, shocked.
''What is the meaning of this?''

 

[Dragonson]

"Shouldn't I be asking that?"
The Drak'Ron says coldly.
"What on earth happened here?"

 

[Phoonix]

OOC: could i get update on recent events? i am interested in re-joining this.

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: M'kay.
How far are you in the story?

 

[Phoonix]

OOC: eh well i left the RP when we were in the big city on that tower thingy. and i don't know what page that was and how many pages i have to read so I'm just asking a general update.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Taiion stumbled back.

"some demon attacked us. and when we defeated it, it exploded.

 

[Dragonson]

OOC:
Generally, they now own a fort called Brenrok, and they are in the middle of a dungeon crawl that has gotten out of hand.

IC:
"And you expect me to just beleive that?
By Ahmon's scales! Why would a demon show up here?!"
He shaked his head, frustrated about something.
"You're coming with me to the capital."
He said in the kind of voice that does not invite disobeidance.

 

[Fussiler1]

''Or else..?'' he asked, hiding a grin.

 

[Dragonson]

"...Or else i will order my golem here to knock you unconcious and THEN bring you to the capital."
The Drak'Ron said coldly.

 

[Crazy Cow]

"I think following him in one piece might be the best idea," Mourg said.
"Xall," Mourg whispered to said person, "Now might not be the best time, but I would like your opinion on this sword. I grabbed it and got knocked unconscious. Taiion had to pry it out of my hands. Do you have any idea what it is?"

 

[grygon]

"I agree, I for one think it would just be easiest to follow him" Raylik said.

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: Hesa called Vall.

IC:
Vall's hollow eyesocket went wide open for a second.
He then quickly signaled to mourg that he should hide it away, fast.

 

[Crazy Cow]

OOC:
Vall, Nall, Xall... they are so simialr! D:

Mourg let the hilt of the sword hit the ground, opened his backpack, flipped it over and impaled it on the sword. He then put the backpack on, hiding his real soulblade in his robes. Hopefully, the Drak'Ron would just think the sword was his soulblade.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Taiion hissed, but did not attack.

 

[Fussiler1]

''Hmm..'' he mumbled, peering at the sudden newcomer.
''Sure thing, lad.''

 

[Dragonson]

The Drak'Ron muttered a few words, and the adventurers all found their hands bound by some kind of glowing thread.
The Golem and it's rider turned around, and beckned the adventurers to follow them.

 

[grygon]

Raylik followed him quickly.

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: Any more reactions before i ship you to the Drak'Ron capital?

 

[grygon]

OOC: Nope

 

[The World Is Flat]

ooC: naop

 

[Dragonson]

After a few hours of walking, the group arrives at some sort of portal.
The Drak'Ron beckons them to enter it.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Taiion motions for the others to hold as he boldy tests the portal... striding into it gloriously...

 

[Dragonson]

...and is amazed.
Infront of him, is a enormous cavern. About fifty times as big as the one they just left.
All over it's walls, on the ground, everywhere, exotic plants and other vegetation is growing.
And in the middle of it all, a glorious city hovers.
It's houses and streets are connected with stone bridges, and it is all in ancient Urnic design.

Around it, it's inhabitants are performing their daily work.
Some is flying around it, patrolling.
Others are keeping the plants alive.
Some few harvest the plants' fruits.
Some are standing right infront of Taiion, ready to take him to the High-Seer of Wryrnkeep.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Taiion hissses, but lets himslef be taken...

 

[grygon]

Raylik waited a few minutes to see if Taiion came out of the portal, or if anything seemed wrong, then he followed him.

 

[Dragonson]

Raylik saw the same thing as Taiion.
He arrived just in time to see Taiion walking towards the hovering city on one of the stone bridges.
And again, a group of Drak'Ron were ready to take him with them aswell.

OOC:
DM's Note: This will happen to anybody that goes through the portal.
So if your charecter does that, assume that it happens automatically.

 

[Crazy Cow]

Mourg walked through the portal and allowed the Drak'Ron to take him off to the city.

 

[Fussiler1]

Niahcluc quickly followed Mourg, sharing his fate.

 

[grygon]

Raylik went with the Drak'Ron as well, after looking around at the city.

 

[Dragonson]

Soon they were walking the streets of Wryrnkeep.
It was quite a sight.

Though not as big as The Black Tower, it was not any less impressive.
The houses were built with style, and there were loads of exotic boutiques in the streets.

They would though, not really be able to visit them right now.
They were heading for the High-Seer's Palace, to be questioned, and judged.
None of them had any idea of what was to come, and they all knew that now was their last chance if they wanted to try a daring escape.

 

[Crazy Cow]

OOC:
Prepare for a daring escape!

Mourg knew that the last chance of escape was now. The Drak'Ron seemed to blame Mourg and his companions for the explosion, and Vall's reaction to the sword made Mourg especially nervous about what would happen. Mourg figured that running might be a god idea at this point.
"Excuse me?" Mourg aid to one of his Drak'Ron escorts. As the Drak'Ron turned around, Mourg shot a fistful of necrotic energy into his face.

OOC:
Spell check for a Necrotic Wave, please.

 

[Dragonson]

DM: Spell Check: Roll (1d6 +60 for Unknown Bonus): 4 (64).
Mourg heard Vall yell "NO!", and then a massive wave of necrotic force surged from Mourg's hand, and laid everything infront of it in ruins.
Houses were torn down, Drak'Ron were annihalated, and the guard suffered a painfull death.

 

[grygon]

"I suggest we run" Said Raylik and backed away slowly towards the portal

 

[erdniz]

Zarator knelt down and looked down to the street, obviously showing no attempt of resistance.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Taiion hissed and leapt into the air. his fists welling up with energy.

 

[Fussiler1]

''You.. idiot!'' he shouted as he saw everything destroyed.
''Blagh.. run! We have no choice now!''

 

[erdniz]

"Running will only prove our guilt, if we stay we might convince, whoever we are been taken to, that Mourg is magically unstable." Zarator whispered to the other members of the team.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Taiion hovered high in the air...

 

[Dragonson]

Vall cursed.
"Niahcluc is right. We have no choice but to get out of here.
Even if we prove our guilt relating to the cave, we will now have mass murder on our heads too."
With that, he launched a massive sphere of light at one of the nearby guards, sending him flying through the air.
"NOW! While they're still in shock!"
He yelled as he started running towards the portal.

 

[erdniz]

OOC: when did we get our hands untied???

IC:Zarator did not react to Valls orders and remained passive.
"If we run they will hunt us. when they hunt us they will find the fort and I can not ris... we can not risk that." he yelled back.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Taiion just stood there... floating... channeling energy...

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: Oh, right. Forgot to post that. :S
Mourg broke the spell with his wave. Too much energy in the air for the magical ropes to remain in existance.
And seriously Erd, if you keep sitting like that, your char's gonna die. :S
Your group just attacked the Drak'Ron in the MIDDLE OF THEIR CAPITAL.
They are not negotiating or brining you to the High-Seer now, they're gonna kill all of you and feed you to their household drakes.
And though i usually try to keep all my players charecters alive, i can't just allow that kind of inaction.
If you remain passive, the Drak'Ron either kill you or cripple you.

IC:
"Suit yourself!"
Vall Roared while he grabbed Taiion's Unnamed wolf and dragged it with him.
"But i suggest you dodge those spears!
But the Drak'Ron are not negotiators when it comes to murder, and i'm not paying for your funeral!"


And meanwhile, Taiion had enough energy in his hands to blast atleast two of the guards to pieces.
He had though forgotten to inform the higher forces what he wanted to do with it.

 

[erdniz]

OOC: dose this city have some kind of sewer system???
