[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 1473973, member: 1210"] [b]Rajah's Relentless Pursuers[/b] It was while they were in Dyshim that the pirates whose adventures we’ve been following fell into their second Elcruche-instigated ambush. This time things were uglier, and they took Rajah. The pirates fought fiercely but couldn’t withstand the assault of Elcruche’s trained WIS troops. The pirates, beat back but not willing to admit defeat, raced back to the [i]Twikwakikikak[/i] to pursue Elcruche’s ship, but the vessel that the half-elf was commanding moved with unbelievable speed, dwindling to a speck in minutes. “How do they do that?” Lyr demanded. “I want that ship!” On board Elcruche’s ship, Rajah learned the answer to this one once he became conscious. “It’s called a sea helm,” Elcruche told him. His expression was sardonic. He tied his long thick hair back with a leather thong. “Don’t try to escape, ‘Rajah-‘ you’re thousands of miles from land. Your little [i]dimension door[/i] trick will just get you eaten by sharks.” “Why are you people after me??” demanded Rajah. ”Orders,” Elcruche said. “But don’t worry. We’re not going to kill you. And as long as you don’t try anything, we’ll even make you comfortable.” Rajah learned that sea helms are a magical means of vastly increasing the speed of waterborne craft. “We can move about a hundred miles an hour,” Elcruche smirked. Rajah also learned that the ship had traversed a seagate somewhere between Dyshim and- wherever it was. On his way to- what? Prison? Execution?- Rajah faded out of the pirates’ knowledge; but most of them- those who survived to the end of Farenth’s game, when it came- would meet him again. The pirates, unable to rescue their friend, took on new crew and sailed further east, heading for Strogass, mythical realm of evil, home of the Dark Emperor and the worship of Bleak. And, as Lyr kept saying, as far from Dexter as they could get. [i][b]Next Time:[/b][/i][b][/b] I’m not sure what tale I’ll tell next. I have three basic threads to follow here- Rajah, the pirates, and Dexter and Malford; and one of my old players (hi Aaron) emailed me and asked me to write about some of his old pcs, so we’ll see... the next bit it [i]yet to be determined.[/i] For, after all, they’re all ultimately related.
