Planetouched Peril

[Fangor the Fierce]

OOC - Hey Isida, I am a bonehead!!! I completely forgot about the Search Skill for trapfinding!!! Can I redo my skill points or is it too late? I understand if it's too late....my mistake...

*Ashlie eyes the padlock on the counter, and with a fluidity of ease, grabs her masterwork tools, flings back her hood, to reveal herself, and proceeds to work the lock. * This old lock has seen its days...she thinks to herself.

"If a demonstration is needed, then so be it. Weapons or no weapons does not matter to me. Death is inevitable and we are all dying, just some at greater rates than others. I will pay your initial fee, although I see it as a bit high. Now who would you have me spar against?"

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

OOC - Fangor, no problem.

*Ashlie, the locks parts with just a bit of work under your skilled fingers, and Sarwen smiles.*

"Excellent. I am Guildmaster Sarwen Tash, by the by, just in case you wanted to know. As for who you are to spar against... how about against Saku here, if he deigns to answer my questions," she says, the last with gentle good humor.

 

[Emperor Valerian]

"True, Pharos. I think this shall be interesting to watch."

*Aeron will continue to approach, and assuming he and Pharos have yet to be noticed, will introduce himself*

Myself and my cleric friend here could not help but overhear the conversation... and your offers to spar. We too are looking for some assistance, with escorting some pilgrims. I don't know if Sarwen has informed you yet or not that more are needed to form the escorting party for this group. I remember one time..."

*His voice will trail off, and then he'll realize he needs to get to the point*

"Ah, yes... um... anyways. I find sparring so... interesting. I myself don't have mastery of sword and spear, but nonetheless the fluidity of movement... Oh... how uncouth of me. My name is Aeron."

*He'll extend a hand*

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

*With a glint of mystery, Ashlie grins and looks over to Saku.*

"I am up to the challenge of sparring with this warrior by the name of Saku, Sarwen Tash. I am most proficient with my Shortbow, but I can hold my own in combat. Would you like a display with weapons, or unarmed combat? And don't worry Saku, just because I am a woman, you shouldn't go easy...it may prove a mistake." *Ashlie winks at Saku, if only to have him underestimate her abilites.*

He seems to be searching for an excuse to fight, and death is always one step away. It only matters which way you step. ...she thinks to herself

*With the arrival of the other two patrons, she takes note of their comments and waits for the response from Sarwen...*

 

[Cannibal_Kender]

*Zafira turns to face Pharos and Aeron.*

"It is a pleasure to meet both of you. I am Zafira."

*shakes Aeron's hand.*

*Looks back at the lightning genasi woman.*

"Who shall I spar with?"

 

[wolfheart]

"If a sparring partner is needed, you may try your skill against me." Pharos crosses his arms, putting his hands up the sleeves of his robes, trying to look as unthreatening and pious as possible. "I would enjoy the challenge."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"That sounds well, Saku against Ashlie, and Pharos against Zafira. Come on out to the training yard and we can get things started," she says, gesturing for you to come with her.

*Sarwen will lead you out the back, to a fenced-in training yard. It is packed dirt, not too dusty, and fully open to the sun. A small pump is under the porch behind you, several buckets behind it, and several locked chests probably hold practice gear. Several dummies and a few targets line the right side of the yard, a sturdy wall behind them.*

"First off, those of you who fancy yourselves to be archers, line up on the left side and fire me three arrows into one of those targets," she says, waving to the left. It is about sixty feet to the targets.

[OOC - Temujin, you can do Saku's responses to Sarwen's questions retroactively, as she won't start the challenges until you say a little more than "I hit stuff." ]

 

[Cannibal_Kender]

*Zafira will move over to the left side, draw her composite longbow, and fire three arrows at one of the targets.*

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Zafira, two of your arrows find the center of the target, and one goes just a bit high, but still hits. Sarwen nods and seems satisfied.*

"Anyone else who fancies themselves an archer?" she says, smiling and gesturing to the targets?

[OOC - Guys, can everyone turn off their sig from now on please? Thanks.]

 

[Temujin]

"I was trained by the streets. These are my only weapons, and these are all I need." He says confidently, holding up his fists.

"I can also climb quite well and am a fair swimmer."
* Saku smiles at the though of combat. *

"Unarmed of course, Wouldn't want any permanent damage."
