Shards of Memory--Act I: The Boundless Void

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: You have to admit it would be ironic, in a morbid way )

 

[unleashed]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist (6/18 hp)

When Zaeryn finds she isn’t breathing, he drops to his knees next to her, and begins shaking her shoulders and stroking her face, blocking out the reality of the situation, as he repeats, “Come on Valyssa, breathe for me...”

OOC: You broke Zaeryn.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Yuriko remains standing with an expression that clearly reads 'If you wait around there, she'll start moving again, alright, and not in a good way', but she doesn't say anything right now, as it would be rude.*

(OOC: Sorry Every once in a while in combat, somebody dies. Honestly, I'm surprised this is the first time--you owed the grim reaper after Kiss of Darkness)

 

[unleashed]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist (6/18 hp)

*After a few repetitions, it seems Zaeryn has come to terms with what’s happened, as he leans forward and kisses Valyssa, before just getting up and walking away silently, a broken man.*

OOC: I’m sure he’ll bounce back eventually, but he’s going to be very different for a while... perhaps a long while. Having a character that could fight back might have been nice though.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: That's true. Although then she would have had no spells and would have been easier to hit, so she might have gone down faster )

*Yuriko simply nods, realising that at the best of times she didn't have the Charisma to console him, and after her drain the only thing keeping her out of a coma is her Charisma-boosting item. Once Zaeryn is away, Yuriko decapitates Valyssa's corpse.*

"So do we look for the Voidwight?"

 

[Bront]

Kirkesh looks at Vanessa, hoping she can do something for Valyssa, but he knows it is too late. He walks over to Zaeryn and puts his hand on his shoulder, "We'll get it for her. We won't let it take another."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*As this is going on, the ship stops moving.*

 

[Bront]

"To the helm, quickly!" Kirkesh says.

OOC: We're not at the helm, are we?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: No)

*Kirkesh dashes down towards the hatch to get to the Helmsman's Chamber just as Allure, enervated and her head badly bruised, tumbles around the corner and slams into him before coming abovedecks.*

"We're under attack!" she shouts, looking around, "They, they killed my sister. My sister!" she cries dejectedly, tears filling her eyes, "But I have no magic left--make them PAY!"

 

[Bront]

"Is it the Voidwraith?" Kirkesh says, weapon at the ready.

OOC: He'll continue on once he gets the answer either way. Hopefully Vanessa is following.
