Classic 3.0

[deadestdai]

Brechin starts a little at the scroll's sudden change, he was not too comfortable with arcane majicks.

I agree. A shame it is that we cannot find out what these things do or are worth ourselves.

The young warrior turned to the Princess and hoped she hadn't been too startled after hearing the words of the scroll.

Highness, He started a little too formally.Are you ready to move on? It is far too obvious now that you are being saught after by evil persons. Do you have any idea who this Drocus may be?

 

[Mithreander]

The princess, having feand sleep had actually fallen asleep, being exauhsted from the nights encounter, and the terror she had felt since being taken by the orcs.

If the girl is woken by the group and asked about the girls knowledge of a Drocus, she'll answer in a negative. She knew no one of that name.

 

[Verbatim]

While it would have been helpful to them all if the Princess possessed knowledge of Drocus, Veitus could not hold her lack of knowledge against her.

"Do not trouble yourself princess, whoever this Drocus may be, we will force him to look harder than he anticipated to find you."

 

[Mithreander]

THe companions get their stuff together and move out, continuing east.

Once more, the only sign of life are the recently burned remains of farms, though no bodies can be seen from the road. They travel for half a day without seeing a soul.

Aenilan notices that... everything it too quiet... something around was causing every living thing, including the bugs of the air, to quiet. Something was about to happen, or was around that everything felt threatened by.

 

[Verbatim]

Looking around at his companions, Veitus noticed that Aenilan seemed to be tensing in her saddle.

"Is everything alright lass?"

OOC: (Sorry about the long delay guys. My compy is dying and I plan on getting a new one. In fact, I'm on my sister's computer.... Anyway. As soon as my refund comes in. New compy time. ^_^. It should be in by friday. So my posts should be more regular as usual by next week sometime.)

Aenilan blinks, her face tense. All around her, she could feel something strange and eerie. "Can't you feel it? Listen. No birds. No sound other than what we're making." she said as she unstrings her bow, getting her arrows and other arms ready. "Get ready. I don't like this..." she murmured, her elvish accent more intense with stress.

OOC: If nothing else, perhaps Aenilan's parents can identify their nifty new sparklies. Nice having a mage and cleric for parents.... Sometimes. ^_^

Hearing the elven girl's warning, Brechin heads off ahead of the group a small ways and with shield strapped to his arm and sword in hand readies to make himself the target of any ambush that may be set along the path.

 

[Mithreander]

Brechin finds nothing ahead to indicate a reason for the suddon quite.

After a while, the group continues, not finding anything in the corn fields surrounding the road, or in front, or behind them.

For the rest of the day, the earie silence continues. Night begins to fall once more, a road to the north appearing from the horizon.

 

[Verbatim]

His shoulders knotted from the tense ride throughout the day, Veitus tries to relax as the sun begins to set.

"I say we look for a place to rest for the night, as we are all tired and could use a few minutes of peace."

 

[Mithreander]

The group stop for the night, once more finding shelter in an abandoned house, this one seeming to have escapred the torch the others had fallen to.

The group sleeps with out issues, and the watch sees nothing that forces them to wake the others. By morning, every thing seemed to be normal once more. The question was now, should they finally head north now, or continue east.
