IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part I

[worthley]

Trenton gets up without a word, and follows closely behind Berth. His eyelids still haven't closed since his last words.

With a completely unfounded air of authority, Boldak looks about the room as the human exits. Seeing that all is well, he plops back down on his chair, weary and ready for a good rest.

Alexis visibly relaxes as Breth turns to leave. Hoisting her mug in the direction of the door she nods then returns to her sullenness and the ale to relieve it.

[sblock=Trenton and Dichotomy]As Breth leaves the bar he holds up his right arm for Shavora. She wings down to him and lands while he keeps walking. As he reaches the center of the square he turns towards the Feral Dog again to see that Trenton alone followed him.

"Here is your accuser." He says simply.

"Left for dead! Tato left for Dead!" The raven screeches accusingly at Trenton.

[SBLOCK=Ti and Di]"I assume that Tato is what you called Nav. Now, since your bird saw that we left......Tato, that maybe it could explain to you that Tato was eaten by a swarm of spiders. Also, you are probably wise enough to realize that my friends and I almost suffered the same fate. As I said before, he died trying to save me, because I made a mistake back there. I have to live with the guilt that I am the reason someone died. That guilt cannot be cured by anything but my own death. Now, do you plan on removing the guilt from me, or may I head back in and drown my pain, only to wake and realize my nightmare isn't over?" responds Trenton, keeping his eyes locked on the man infront of him, ignoring everything around them.[/SBLOCK]

"Well, girl, I..." Boldak mumbles to Alexis after the others have gone. "I must say that was the worst day I've ever had. Which is saying something..." he continues, looking her over to see if she's listening, or if his words are having any ill effect.

"I'd just as soon it be over. I don't know about you, but that's what I think," he states as he gets up to leave. "I'll be wanting to find out what caused that mess of bugs... and I'm not about to give up the search of the cairn after going to this much trouble. I'll get myself patched up as best I can, and be back on the road day after tomorrow."

Boldak shrugs sheepishly at this, "I'd be happy if you'd join me again. Feel free to let Trenton know the same if he comes back." He then ventures back out into the rain, taking care not to run into the threatening stranger.

[sblock=ooc]Boldak is going to try to rest until he's healed up. He won't be to hard for anyone to find, and will gladly accept healing (or Heal-the-skill-ing from Alexis if she offers it in the intervening time.[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

Alexis looks directly in Boldak's eyes the entire time he's speaking, but says nothing. She watches him leave, finishes her ale and goes out into the rain.

[sblock=ooc]Alexis is gonna go to the church of st. cuthbert. She'll pray there until she's sleepy. Heal herself as she can,rest wherever, prepare spells again and go looking for Boldak.[/sblock]

[sblock=Dichotomy]As Alexis prays she slowly chants to herself, It's not my fault. I did all I could. I would have died too. He knew what he was risking. again and again until she's tired.[/sblock]

"Tato, Nav, Papin, Tacho, Jonr, Mov, Mora all left for dead. All one! All gone! Fix it! The bird pecks at Breth's head as it recites names and then a couple more times for good measure.

"Ow! Ow! Easy Shavora, I'm trying! Trenton, allow me to introduce Shavora. I believe she was once Nav's familiar, I also believe that she is the reason why I came to this town and why I've been tied in with your affairs. Breth sighs heavily, "I did not mean to tear open such fresh wounds, but I didn't appreciate the attitude the dwarf was giving me after all I was doing was trying to help. I suppose I did present quite the sketchy character though.

Shavora pecks at Breth once more. "Blast it! I'm getting there!

Now what was this swarm of spiders? How did you try to fight it? What did and didn't work? If we are going to avenge Nav, I'll have to know how I can help. That's all I can offer you Trenton, revenge. That, and maybe helping to finish what you set forth to do in the first place. Drowning your pain won't solve any of your nightmares, but it will dull the pain of the rest of your wounds. C'mon, first rounds are on me.

Shavora resumes her perch in the eaves. [/SBLOCK]

Breth walks back into the Feral Dog to find an open table ignoring the dwarf if he is still there.

 

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=Ti & Worthley]As the pair heads back into the Feral Dog, it appears that Alexis and Boldak have already taken their leave. As Breth gets the first round of drinks, a new group of patrons comes in led by the ugly albino half-orc Trenton recalls seeing there the previous night. Apparently a dog fight in the pits is about to begin.[sblock=OOC]Feel free to keep up the conversation as you'd like, or feel free to summarize if you'd rather do that.[/sblock][/sblock]
[sblock=MNW & o3]As you both go about the rest of your evenings, the town winds down (or winds up, in the case of the nightspots) in the manner to which you've grown accustomed. You each make it back to your beds and find the new day dawning.[sblock=OOC]Let me know of any particular plans you have. I presume by your last posts that Alexis will set out to find Boldak. If you'd like, feel free to just pick up with the two of you encountering each other. If you'd like, you can either carry on some conversation, or just summarize. Whichever you'd prefer. Oh, and keep it in sblocks for now.[/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=Di&O3]Boldak awakes and, feeling only a short sight better than he had the past evening, hangs about the flophouse watching the comings and goings of other residents.[/sblock]
