Arena IC - Week 1

[Rino]

astaldo walks back to his room and looks at the schedule and sees he isn't requires soon. he goes back to the courtyard to she what kind of people are walking there.

after looking around he checks if there are any balltes taking place right now, if any he watches them.

 

[Corlon]

278 for great advice, 278...grr I'm a bard and I can't even think of a simple rhyme
17 hours, aw cmon, I just got here. Well, no use complaining, I guess I'll just have to beat this "Gok" as quickly as possible .

With these thoughts Corlon walks out into the courtyard looking for something to do.

 

[Starman]

Before heading to the courtyard, Thakk sees his schedule and looks at it.

Hmmm...Durin'dal, I believe he was in the group I came in with. I should speak with him.

Thakk goes in search of Durin'dal.

 

[Keia]

Durin'dal was in his room, becoming comfortable with his new living conditions. A long way from being the Temple champion and Protector, Durin'dal thought. A sound at the door brought Durin'dal out of his deep thoughts and he opened the door.

"Yes?" Durin'dal slowly asked as he opened the door. He nodded upon seeing Thakk, one he recognized that had arrived at the same time that he did. "What can I do for you?" Durin'dal asked warmly.

 

[Starman]

"I...uh...well..bah, we have to fight later and well...may the best warrior win," Thakk says. He is clearly uncomfortable speaking to Durin'dal. He shifts his feet while crossing and uncrossing his arms.

He thumps his right hand on his chest and holds it out to Durin'dal.

"By Unruuk's hammer!"

 

[Keia]

Durin'dal looked and listened to Thakk who was standing outside his door. He smiled and said in a deep bass voice, "I am unfamilar with your customs, Thakk, what would be the proper response for me to provide?"

[occ: Jemal, I can't find the rules for free for alls, I've misplaced the OCC thread or something. Could you go over the rules again, I want to discuss them with Thakk and strategize. ]

 

[Jemal]

my e-mail's jemal@shaw.ca
I'll go searching for the Arena OOC thread and give it a bump so everyone can check out the rules and we can talk about anything that's not clear.

 

[Starman]

Thakk gets a puzzled look.

"Uh...we...clasp arms and offer praise to the war god, Unruuk, and ask him to bless our weapon and give us strength."

He thinks for a moment.

"Unless you don't worship Unruuk. Then I suppose you can say what you want."

 

[Keia]

"Well, Thakk, I serve a war god as well, though his name is Ares. At the world where I was from, some said that I was offspring of Ares. I'm not certain that I believed them, for Ares was a great god of war and I could only hope to fight and die well," Durin'dal explains.

"Speak to me of your god of war, if you would. Perhaps only the name has changed and we worship the same god?" Durin'dal asks.

 

[Jemal]

while Durin'dal and Thakk speak, the others look over the rules, etc, finding that it doesn't seem to put a limit to what kind of, or what amount of 'buffing' is allowed.

Astaldo and Corlon head out to the Courtyard for something to do. Exiting at the same time, they both arrive in time to see one of the Naked human Monks having a heated argument with one of the fiends. Behind the monk, some of his companions are looking on angrily, and similarily there are a few devils + demons watching from the other side. From where they stand the two can't hear what the argument is about though. Soon the two are yelling at each other, and some of their 'friends' have moved forward and begun yelling, as well.

As Durin'dal is asking about the war god Unruuk, he and Thakk hear shouting from the courtyard, one a normal voice and the other a very low-pitched, evil sounding voice, though they cannot make out what is being said.

The rest in their rooms can hear a faint commotion.

oodm: what're the rest doing?
