Destiny's Tears-Prologue: A Jewel in the Shadow Part I

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]

"My house is just past there," Esperanza says, "But I guess we could go all the way around."

"If we do," Wei-Han ponders, "He wirr plobabry chalge us. However, there is no dishonour in defending oulselves in that case."

*The Martial Artist smiles, despite his warning. It is clear to him that Molpe has made this choice for herself due to respect for him, and not just because she wanted to acquiesce to his opinion.*

[Brother Shatterstone]

[sblock]* As she lowers Esperanza to the ground, or more truthfully as she allows the child to slide slides down her silky dress cause of her weight, Molpe can’t help but return Wei-Han’s smile and as they start walking its her hand that hesitates to reach out for his, she hoped she had avoiding dishonoring him but she wasn’t really sure. *

“Come let us hurry from him.”[/sblock]

Fedowin:
[SBLOCK]
*Completely ignoring the beckoning of the innkeeper, you walk past her through the tables, listening.*

*The innkeeper pouts at that.*

*The pretty girl and the others are all speaking in Seelie, which you recognise from that Nymph you saw last week, but you don't understand it.*
[/SBLOCK]

Fedowin, Rowaini Charmer

[sblock]

Now now, I clearly nodded and winked at the bartender, not completly ignoring her. But since I can't understand what the table with my prey at it is talking, I'll go chat up the bartender.

"Sorry my lovely love, I thought I saw someone I simply had to talk to! Surely you know that only the most desperatly pressing of business could stop me from comgin straight to your side! Tell me darling girl, how goes the evening for you?"

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*As the trio turns to walk away, the big man growls and charges towards Molpe, leaving no time for anyone to react--except Wei-Han. The Martial Artist channels his emotion into motion. As the man rushes forward, Wei-Han grabs him by the side, and uses his own momentum to pick up the attacking man, who is more than twice the Larakese man's size and swiftly throw him to the ground prone over his back.*

"You two get out of hele, and I'll make sule he stays down. I can walk fastel than he or any of you, so he won't be abre to catch me when I forrow after you have made an escape." Wei-Han suggests, "I know you don't want to hurt anybody, Molpe, and so this way we don't have to."

[OOC: Initiative
Big Guy 5 + 2 = 7
Molpe 3 + 3 = 6
Wei-Han 18 + 10 = 28
Esperanza 1 + 4 = 5

Wei-Han's Trip Attempt:
Touch Attack 3+8 = 11, Hits!
Opposed Roll: Wei-Han 18 + 4 = 22, Big-Guy 1 + 6 = 7, Success!]

[Keia]

Zykovian T’Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist/Marksman

Abdiel & Melody:

[SBLOCK]

"Unfortunately I will not be able to help you very much. I do not know how large it is, as I have never seen it, only heard stories of it. Obviously I have never touched it. However, I do know that if ever I came to be less that one tree length away from it, that I would be able to detect its presence."

Zykovian nodded understandingly, "My thanks, Abdiel, you have provided some enlightenment in my search for the 'Heart of Arris' of your world." Looking at his drink and the company, Zykovian smiled and continued, "I would stay for a few moments longer . . . to learn more of what is going on in the city. Convocations and Amphitheatres sound quite interesting."

**Rystil only**
[sblock]'Well, he was a waste of time,' Zykovian thought. 'Perhaps I'll learn more by not being so direct.'[/sblock]

"May I inquire what it is that you are saying when you are speaking to the others? Maybe it is different in your world, but we find it to be very rude to speak in a language that someone does not understand without at least apologizing for having to do so."

*Zykovian turned from Amity's direction to look at the Mojiin. His eyes narrowed and seemed to almost darken. He stared hard for a minute, then softened.*

"Of course, Mojiin, my sincere apologies," Zykovian replied in Seelie, "I will try to be more considerate to you in the future . . . I imagine you are offended quite often when on a planet in which you don't even speak the language of most of its people."

In a soft, quiet voice, Zykovian explained in Seelie, "I was speaking to my friend, Amity, and the conversation did not concern you, but the rather large man with the big axe ove there that probably doesn't speak Seelie or your tongue."

*Zykovian smiled pleasantly and tried to absorb the ambience of the inn, yet was keenly interested in Melody's discussions of exploration and adventure.*[/sblock]

 

[Eonthar]

Abdiel Lyanthra, Mojiin Preserver

Rystil:
[SBLOCK]

OOC: :It just occurred to me that I had not mentioned where my Selar, my Eagle animal companion would be while I am in the Laughing Sail Inn. I suggested to him that he eat and then find himself a spot on top of the inn so that he could see me if ever I needed to leave. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Abdiel, Zyk, and Melody, but in Eldish:
[SBLOCK]
"Sorry my lovely love, I thought I saw someone I simply had to talk to! Surely you know that only the most desperatly pressing of business could stop me from comgin straight to your side! Tell me darling girl, how goes the evening for you?" a Rowaini who had previously ignored Amity's beckoning says to her.
[/SBLOCK]

Everyone except Molpe, but in Rowaini:
[SBLOCK]
"A most lovely evening, my friend. What's your name? Are you here for the convocation too?" Amity asks Fedowin in flawless Rowaini. She even gets the accents perfect.
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Abdiel:
[SBLOCK]
*Selar, through his mental bond with you, is getting restless. Something is tugging at the eagle's heightened senses, which was an unusual for the usually calm bird. Well at least except on Arris, where he feels more at home.*
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Molpe had swelled very nymph like when the man had rushed her would never have been able to defend herself it Wei-Han hadn’t been there to protect her. She heard his words and nodded dumbly at them, they made perfect sense, but she didn’t know which way to run or how he would catch up with her if she ran out of sight. *

Finally she gains some sense and grabs Esperanza by the collar so she couldn’t get lost, as she spoke firmly but with a touch of fear, “Where’s your house? Take me to your house!”

OOC: Most of Molpe’s actions are based upon Esperanza’s lower action. So delay action to then. Double move action or running if the terrain isn’t that bad.
