Romance of the River Kingdoms II

Maidhc O Casain

Na Bith Mo Riocht Tá!
As soon as Chaarr can see the creature once more, he flings out an arm. The sleeve of his shirt lengthens, stretching impossibly long to snap in the horsey face before returning instantly to it's original size. Even as he's attacking, the courageous little warrior-priest moves toward the foe.

--------------------
Chaarr was born 'Third Child' to Duul and Chari of Ghost Stalker lineage in the Snow on the Sand clan. His family trace their line proudly to the great warrior who hunted and slew the desert bandits who had preyed on his clan, eliminating all but the Ghost Stalker himself. The doughty warrior not only tracked down and put under the sands the entire group of bandits, he then saw fit to stalk and slay their spirits as well, so that their own line would be truly and forever erased from Conclave. It is said that the Gods bestowed their blessing and forgiveness for this vengeance by causing a foot of snow to fall on the dunes over Ghost Stalker's clanhome on the night his mission was complete.

The Gods blessed Ghost Stalker with long life, and saw fit to reward his prowess with a new wife from a nearby clan. Together with his mate, Ghost Stalker founded the Snow on the Sand clan on the site of his original clanhome, thus bringing new life from and restoring the sanctity of that cursed place.

~~~~~

The boy who would become Chaarr, being the third child of his parents, perceived that he had little responsibility to his family and clan and that his two older brothers were sufficient to carry the family honor. He grew from a beautiful infant to an impetuous youth, and as a young man spent his days getting into all sorts of mischief. On the fourteenth anniversary of his birth, his mischief was so great that his parents and clan despaired of his ever taking proper care of his honor - and that of the clan. He was judged harshly, and sent out into the world to make his own way, to grow up or to perish.

Bitter and alone, the young Ura made his way after some few misadventures to the great trading city of Ok-Tom-Bo. There he continued to use his talents for mischief and his not inconsiderable charm to pursue a frivolous life of petty crime and minor misdeeds, living one day to the next. He was not a malicious child, just thoughless and care-free.

Then one fine evening, his fate once more caught him up, and his mischief brought about the death of another. A young girl, the beautiful daughter of an iron merchant whom the miscreant Ura had decided would provide the where-with-all for his next few meals, caught him at his pilfering and made to capture him for her father. In the course of the chase, the poor lass fell to her death from the rooftops.

Devastated by this turn of events, Duul and Chari's third child spent weeks in grief and mourning, all but senseless to the turnings of the city around him. And here is where his story turns for the better, at long last.

For the young merchant's daughter, slain by the child's thoughtless behavior, was in fact not only an exceptionally generous and happy soul, gifted with a most mischievious streak herself, but also an adept student of her father's ways, of the Mysteries of Metal. She came to the Uran youth in his despair and harangued him until he brought his thoughts back to the world around. At that point, she informed him that she bore him no ill will but recognized the pattern of fate in their lives. She would be both the instrument of his penance and his salvation, were he only willing. Without hesitation, the young man accepted the words of this happy spirit. She bestowed upon him her connection with the Mysteries of Metal, and resolved to be a guide to him in his life studies and a constant reminder of the cost of thoughtless mischief.

And so, the young "Third Child" of Duul and Chari took the name Chaarr - meaning "Steel" in his native tongue - along with the study of metals of all kinds. He now wanders the lands of Concord, practicing his craft to make a meagre living and for the benefit of others and accompanied - haunted and harrassed - always by Taibhse, the spirit of his sole unintended victim.

His mischevious nature continues, and he remains good natured, impulsive and full of humour; however, his mischief is now tempered by at least a measure of forethought, enforced by Taibhse's "gentle" reminders of the consequences of his previous actions.

Chaar's sleeve misses the tagamalang and instead slices a branch of a tree. The spirit creature flies up and out of the trees, hovering about 10 ft. above the group on the path. It points an outstretched finger at Annika, who feels weariness threaten to overtake her.

[sblock=OOC]
Chaar's attack misses.

Tagamalang - move, SLA on Annika, [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] Will save please (DC 16)

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
[MENTION=21938]Dr Simon[/MENTION]: Is it close enough to Mystal to be attacked with Focused Move? (for some extra damage)... also, what would be the skill needed to recognize that it can take some extra damage from silver (this is only OOC guess, but how would Mystal know such?)

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
OOC: I still have Health/Grace on the character, would someone remind me please how is it calculated? There was some discussion of abandoning it and I notice that new characters all have HP. Help?


Mystal observes the giant creature and swings on a branch closer to it. Unaware of the threat until mere moments before the attack, the creature cannot defend, but it's bulk sways the branches so much that Mystal is flung up at the exact moment of the attack.

Little swordsage quickly recovers and swirls his small weapon in strange pattern, preparing to unleash the fire inherent in the metal in case the monster attacks.

Drain vitality vs AC; damage (1d20+10+2=14, 1d4-1+4+4=9) - I don't think even touch AC is 14 (monster is flat-footed vs stealthed attack, right?)
OOC: Mystal is in giant killing stance and he just missed with Drain Vitality - also use Fire Riposte if the monster attacks.

[sblock=Mystal Marr]

Active Stance: Giant Killing Stance (+2 to hit and +4 to damage to creatures larger then Mystal)

Readied maneuvers:
Fire Riposte

Drain Vitality
Mind over Body

Annika closes her eyes, pained, as she tries to fight off the evil magic that worms its way into her. Flames flare up brightly, and she makes a slashing gesture with her hand. "Enough!"

(Will save 17) http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4017919/

Her exclamation is accompanied by a screeching pillar of flame that rips from the burning aura around her and tracks across the creature where it hovers! Unfortunately, in her anger, the blast is poorly aimed and it easily ducks out of the way.

Ape swings out as far as he can, bouncing on the end of a flexible branch, but his strike just misses the tagamalang. Annika's fiery ray streak past the hovering monster, whilst Bijoa ducks for cover in the undergrowth and Ape transforms into his baboon shape.

OOC: [MENTION=29558]Mowgli[/MENTION], Chaarr up next.

An Uran curse flies from Chaarr's mouth as the tagamalang flits to the trees and out of the little warrior's reach. He abandon's previous plans and once more sends his sleeve streaking through the air.
