Why can't he shut up?
What?! Is it action?! Are you whuppin' an' whippin'?
Nothing, just an overexited child.
Bah! Don't disturb my ride if it's not important!
I was just thinking, you're the one who moved in.
Yeah, blame it on me! That's the real thing to do.
On to other matters, what's going on there?
Nothing really, it's really boring 'cept the view.
Any other students?
Just the two bouncing just below me.
Could you, please, PLEASE, stop?!
I could, but I don't really want to.


Sildarin walks after Lyrique, grasping Charlotte's psicrystal in his hand with white knuckles.
 

Wow, Sildarin's crystal didn't make any comment about Charlotte changing clothes in his presence.

No update until tomorrow.
 


Lyrique, Victor, Sildarin and Mortimer

The inside of the home is silent and empty. There are clear signs of a struggle and some blood on the floor in the kitchen. While at first brush it seems to be a lot of blood, especially to Lyrique, Victor is certain it's not enough blood to represent a lethal wound.

The few valuables that should be in the home -- the silverware, a few objet's d'art, some curios are missing. Some quality paintings are still on the walls where they normally would be, but all the tapestries have been torn down.
 

Charlotte and Rallyn

After gathering their equipment, Charlotte and Rallyn are amazed at how quiet the plateau has become. Even the area near the Smatherspather compound is silent.
 

"Don't worry Lyrique, we will find them." Victor says putting a hand on lirique's shoulder.
"Sildarin, Where are the others right now? Did they find any trouble?"

"We need to know how many orcs are on the ships, and when they intend to leave. Also if we could find their boss, I have some good tricks ready for him."

What am I doing? I am talking like my father, but he knows what he saysand I'm afraid I don't. But they need to think there's still hope. Despair would kill us.
 

Rallyn gets back into the hall and meets up with Charlotte after having gone through and gotten his things and any things from the others rooms that he thinks they might need.

Upon seeing her decked out in her leathers he smiles and says, "Great. Only one more thing to grab. Assuming he's still there at all. Time to sneak over to the stables."
 

Where are you now?
You made me miss it!
What? What are you talking about?
She was changing and you distracted me! I'll get you for this!
Good for her. Now, where are you?
Some stupid hall. Man, I missed it...


"They... seem to be okay... Slith just... seems upset... at something..."
 

Lyriques pale white skin is red and his eyes are swollen. He falls to his knees and starts shaking. "They're gone." He gets up after a minute and runs to his room. he grabs his harp and a spare set of clothing and comes back into the living room. "lets get to the fire and see what can be done." He walks out the door before anyone has a chance to touch him. "Thanks Victor, but I'm sure they no longer live." He looks about to cry but sucks the pain in and continues on.
