Message: <blockquote data-quote="DiFier" data-source="post: 712633" data-attributes="member: 2345">Dulanos Crept up to the edge of the platform.  fifteen feet below he saw his partner kneeling infront of Rheonvan.  Rheonvan was an infamous theif know through out the kingdom.  He had decieded to make Freeport his next stop while plundering the kingdom.  He was notorious for stealing famous, magical and expensive items through out the kingdom.  Dulanos and Caryddry had been tracking him as best they could him since he arrived.  But he had proved a very slippery charachter.  In fact it was only a missstep by Rhenovan that had led them here in the first place.Rhenovan had made the mistake of trying to steal from Falthar, and while Falthar was home.  Rhenovan wasn't able to take anything from Falthar's except wounds.  While investigating Dulanos had discovered the trail of blood.      "The Freeport City Watch? . . . I think you are little out of your league today."  Rheonvan said, pointing a rapier at Caryddry. "I'm under arrest?"  his laugh echoed off the walls of the small warehouse. Dulanos Recognized the sword.  It was Aethyrraent Lonvan's sword.  Lovan had been distraught when it disappeared.  he said it was worth over 20,000 gold pieces.  Lovan's father had been a famous adventurer and while Aethyrraent looked for his adventures in the merchant's district, rather than the mainland, he had kept his father's sword.Luckily Rhenovan was not a swordsman.  He was a master theif, adept at getting into the most secure places and getting out with out anyone noticing.  lately he had become more violent He had killed a merchent soon after he had arrived in Freeport and had injured quite a few people.  taking unnessissary risks.  It was almost as if he want to be caught.Dulanos obliged.  He drank two of the three potions that his wife had given him.  He rolled to a standing position and yelling, jumped off the platform, sword in hand.  Caryddry was waiting for this, he ducked under Rhenovan's sword and tried to tackle the theif.    Rhenovan surprisingly parryed Dulanos' blow and returned the attack slicing deep into the watchman's side,then sliced at the watch man trying to lift him up and drive him into the ground.  Dulanos paused for a second, feeling the potions in full effect making him stronger and nimbler.  He ignoreed the pain and struck the thief.  Which the thief returned. But Caryddry had gotten a grip on the man's wrist and Dulanos saw his opening sending Lovan's sword clattering to the ground.  Alone Dulanos probablly could not take Renovan even with the buffing potions.  And the two of them could not take him with that sword.  but now they had the advantage.  Caryddry had worked around and now had him immobilized in a choke hold.  Dulanos reversed his sword and struck the man in the head with the butt.  knocking him unconsience.They had gone through everything in the warehouse.  Rhenovan had been busy.  Captain Jaric had congratulated them both.  Only one item didn't fit.  It was only worth about 300 gold. It was a beautiful, well made, bastard sword but the aprentice wizard had assured him that it wasn't magical or special.  It was also the only item that they didn't have an owner for.  Dulanos had decieded that he would take it to Falthar just in case. But Capt. Jaric decieded,"We can't afford that, we can barely afford the aprentice wizards that do our detection spells.""So what do we do with it" asked Dulanos."I don't care." said Jaric, "You could even take it home"Dulanos did just that.  He wasn't sure why.  He knew that Di'Fier would get a kick out of it.  His mother had him studying and doing wizardly stuff but the boy still loved swords.  Perhaps he would give it to him thought the sword was taller than the boy was now.  Perhas he would become a swordsman rather than a wizard._______________________________________________________________________"You gave him what?" asked Elenor watching Di'Fier try to weild the sword but he was barely being able to lift the tip from the floor.  "He's going to hurt himself.""We'll keep it out of his reach untill he's old enough to use it.  Di'Fier please bring me the sword.  Beside even your father has a sword, Ana. . . Anar . . . ""Anarásolis . . . and that is a famous, intelligent sword.  it has gotten him out of quite a few scrapes""exactly.  Every wizard needs a sword . . . just in case.  This one will be Di'Fier's.""father's sword is a long sword . . . that thing is . . . well it's too big He'll need two hands to use it.  How can he cast spells while weilding that sword?"He'll just use his off hand, you can't cast spells and attack at the same time.  We wouldn't let him use it untill he's big enough. I'll hang it above the mantel or something"Elenor gave him a sour lookDi'Fier looked disappointed. but he slide the sheath back on the sword and carried it over to his father."Thank you. When you are older I'll teach you how to use it."Difier shrugged and ran off to his room to get the wooden sword he had made."Perhaps he'll forget about it.""I doubt that very much."____________________________________________________We skip back about 8 years here to when Di'Fier is only 10.  A few Things of note: the rapier is actually a lawful rapier and so Rhenovan was at one level lower but didn't know it.  When I began writing this (about a month ago) Di'Fier's father name was Di'Fier's Father.  We had never named him and when we attempted to; none of the names fit.  for that matter Di'Fier didn't have a last name untill last week.  He has an Uncle on his mother's side named Jardek Anton.  So we decieded that the faimly name was Anton.  We had decieded earlier that most people especially commoners don't actually have last names.  Di'Fier's father was just Watch Sergeant  Dulanos.  He didn't have a family name.  So Di'Fier got his mother's last name.</blockquote>
