    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Ch. 5, The Darkening Wood

    Lodric, Valurel, Mardo, and the Wolf. Valurel only growls in answer to Lodric's words before following the orc into the ravine. He shoulders his bow tentatively, not trusting the Widowmaker for a second but realizing that he is still armed, even with the bow not in his hands.

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Ch. 5, The Darkening Wood

    "I believe we have little choice. His actions are peculiar to say the least, especially for an orc. Our little friend seems to be already on the move. I suggest we follow before he get out of sight and into trouble. Let us see if we can determine what this orc's intentions are." Valurel...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Ch. 5, The Darkening Wood

    Valurel actually emits a low growl from somewhere deep in his throat at the sight of the black-clad orc. He brings his icewood bow to bear, notching an arrow and drawing the powerful weapon back. Taking aim at the big orc he growls, "Where is the human child?"

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Ch. 5, The Darkening Wood

    Valurel watches as the gnome digs futilely at the earth that swallowed up their friends. He almost steps forward to attempt to calm him as he begins stabbing at the tree's roots with his dagger but holds himself back, allowing his companion to release his frustration. Valurel is surprised at...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Ch. 5, The Darkening Wood

    Valurel looks on with a mixture of disbelief and surprise at what is happening to the earth beneath their feet but somehow keeps a level head and manages to avoid dropping into the hole. Reflex save = 20

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow [Recruiting Alternates]

    I just put up a post, sorry for not getting one up sooner. Been suffering from vacation hangover I guess. Glad to see Valurel survived that nasty fight... :D

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Ch. 5, The Darkening Wood

    Valurel notches an arrow, fluidly pulls the bowstring on the icewood bow back to his ear, takes aim and fires at the hapless elf caught in the vines. "Be at peace, brother.", he says solemnly. OOC: Gonna put the poor elf out of his misery. From the rather horrifying description, I'm guessing...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow [Recruiting Alternates]

    As to whether I would like to continue on to Book 2, absolutely. I think this has been one of the better run and written games I have been involved in as far as PbP games go. I like the characters and would enjoy getting the opportunity to continue writing Valurel. The bottom line is that you...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow [Recruiting Alternates]

    FYI, I will be on vacation from Monday, July 2nd through Saturday, July 14th. I may or may not have internet access. I will try to post once or twice but can make no promises. Feel free to move Valurel around as needed during that time. Incidentally, a new work schedule and trying to prep...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Ch. 5, The Darkening Wood

    Valurel quietly and calmly scans the battlefield until his eyes lock on the closest foe to any of his companions. For the moment, his feral urges are being shoved aside in favor of using his new bow. The smooth and quiet yet powerful pull is intoxicating. He aims and fires. OOC: Alas...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 4, Pursuit

    Upon receiving the gift of the Icewood Bow, Valurel can only look at it in wonder. He of course has seen these weapons in the past but can not remember a time when he actually held one. Having one in his hands now is nearly enough to make him weep with a joy that he hasn't felt in many years...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 4, Pursuit

    Valurel remains silent after the elves have spoken, not having anything significant to add to the conversation. Remembering the parchment found on the dead horse that no one had looked at yet, he locates it and begins to read... OOC: Okay, I forgot about the parchment. And this post is...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 4, Pursuit

    Valurel rolls to his feet. "Herger! Enough!" he says, starting towards the giant. "We have not been betrayed. The elves didn't bring us here and give us food and water only to take the barbarian and gnome away for some sinister purpose. Something else happened here, something that prevented...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 4, Pursuit

    Valurel drops silently to the ground inside the shelter of the roots of the great tree. He has little interest in eating but does so, if only to regain some of his lost strength. He then finds a soft patch of ground and curls up for a nap, hoping to find refuge from his fatigue and sorrow in...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 4, Pursuit

    Valurel looks down at the despondent Kaela and then back at the elf-woman. His face shows a mix of contempt for his captors and sorrow for the words they have used to crush his hopes and those of his companions. He briefly considers charging the elf and letting her fire an arrow through his...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 4, Pursuit

    "The Whisper is their only proof, Starhl," Valurel says without taking his eyes off the elf with her bow trained on him. "The only way we will get more answers is to comply with her." Valurel, his face expressionless, his emotions held firmly in check, tosses his bow in front of him, followed...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 4, Pursuit

    Valurel relaxes his hostile stance slightly and looks up at Kaela. "There are things in these woods just as frightening as those that we have faced elsewhere, Kaela. Disarming only makes us more the fools that she claims we are. And she has told us nothing that might indicate that she knows...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow [Recruiting Alternates]

    Sorry folks, I might just have gotten the party killed with Valurel's statement and actions. :p I believe his statements and actions are very much in character, especially with his feelings of hopelessness and despair over the past several weeks of game time. He's tired of he and his...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 4, Pursuit

    Having no weapons except for his claws and the bow still slung across his back, Valurel doesn't bother dropping anything. Pent up anger and frustration mixed with feelings of despair and hopelessness surface and the snow elf's normally grayish face turns a light shade of crimson. "Who are you...
