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

[o3caudata]

[sblock=all but Ti]Alexis stands well behind Boldak and stares at Trenton with a cold, stern face awaiting some answers.[/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Sans Ti]Trenton gingerly sits up in his resting place and begins to stretch when he quickly pulls his arms back in. "OH!, Damn, never felt like this before. Our accuser was his bird. It's the same one that Nav kept as a pet. It told me so. He's seeking revenge on the sawrm for Shavora"

Feeling the uncomfortable gaze from the others, Trenton quickly cuts off any possible responce. "The bird!...... I told him about how nothing but the fire harmed the swarm, and he said that he can produce enough fire that should probably kill the spiders off. He'll be a valuable contributor to our group if he can kill the swarm. Plus, he feels that he is supposed to be with us. He says he was destined to find us, which means he'll be quite willing to help us search the cairn."

Trenton pulls himself out of the bed and begins packing up his things. When he reached under his pillow, and pulls out his dagger, there is noticeable blood on the sheets, most dried, but some fresh from the wounds breaking back open from his movement this morning[/SBLOCK]

[sblock=! Ti]For a moment Alexis stands unwavering as Trenton hobbles and limps through his explatation, then however she bursts out laughing. "Nav's bird.... That's what he told you?? Nav's bird was wondering what happened to him? My god, he's more of a fool than I thought"

Still laughing, Alexis walks up to Trenton, and lays a hand on his forehead."This might sting a little."

[sblock=ooc]Alexis casts CLW on Trenton, asks if he's feeling better, if he requests it she'll cast another.[/sblock]

Alexis moves to Trenton's bed and sits very regally for a woman in scale mail. "I gather that means you're coming with us Trenton.... But if the dolt speaks true, and can burn the swarm.... We could use him and possibly even seek revenge for the bird. I can't say I trust a man who'd threaten us on the random squakings of a bird, but he could be useful." She giggles wildly again and looks from Trenton to Boldak and back. "So?"

[SBLOCK=For those non-Ti people out there]Trenton smiles a bit and looks at Alexis and smiles a bit "Thank you, I feel much better"
[SBLOCK=ooc]If the CLW roll is a 7 or 8 I'll say I'm ok, if it's lower, I will ask if she can do that again[/SBLOCK]
"The only time his sanity will matter is if he can't actually use the fire he talked about, otherwise I say we have no reason not to believe him or his bird. Plus, I need this. I need the revenge on the swarm as much, if not more than Shavora does. I am responsible for Nav's death. Nav was trying to save me, and died. If I had just run out of the building, instead of to the other side of the room, Nav would be here. We all would be here. I need this to ease my soul." Trenton begins to calm down after pouring out his heart, picks up the last of his things and heads to the room's exit.

"I'll go get him." says Trenton as he starts to open the door.[/SBLOCK]

[sblock]Boldak gets a more consternated look on his face as the others continue the discussion. As Alexis giggles at him he finally bursts out, "What?! You're laughing at me now, aren't you? Well, I won't go and get in a fight with this fellow just for your enjoyment. And I'm not about to go sneaking about or slinking back to the work for Dourstone just because he decides to tag along to the office."

Boldak begins to pace back and forth in a huff, waiting for Trenton to return, and finally blurts, "I won't hesitate to deal with him if he tries any more funny stuff, though, so don't get any plans about getting in my way if it comes to that. Now stop it!"

[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

[sblock=michael_noah and Di]After Trenton has rushed off, Alexis turns to Boldak. "Come now, I wasn't just laughing at you, i was laughing at the lot of us. All screwed up, defensive and hostile to boot. Some country bumpkin waltzs in of the street and threatens us.... It was a bird." and she falls back on the bed laughing anew.

Sitting up and trying to compose herself, Alexis continues "I don't mind your concern of this new fellow though. In truth, we should all be as wary. I have a feeling we should be doubly so, as Trenton seems like he'd trust anything that asked him to. A bird...." Alexis resumes giggling.[/sblock]

[sblock]Boldak struggles to maintain his composure, caught halfway between anger at the stranger's threats and Trenton's naivete and amusement at the fact that he was ever concerned at threats from a birdkeeper. The end result is a twisted grimace that would be hilarious in its own right if it did not give the impression to an onlooker that the dwarf is about to stab them in the kidneys.

"Still with the laughing! Arghh!"[/sblock]

[SBLOCK=I don't even really know who should and shouldn't]Trenton heads to Breth's room and knocks on the door.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=Not Ti]Alexis' attempts to heal Trenton meet with less success than she had with Boldak earlier. After two administrations, the warrior is better, but still not well off.[sblock=OOC]Bad rolls. 1+1=2; 3+1=4. Adding in the 1 from rest, I think Trenton still has 5 damage.[/sblock][/sblock]
[sblock=Ti & Worthley]Trenton knocks on Breth's door, and awaits his response.[sblock=OOC]Since Ti doesn't know, I'll note that it is only you two present now.[/sblock][/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

does this thing add on a new reason each time?

[sblock=Di and Worthley]Breth wakes up to a knock on his door. He sits up on the bed he's on and tries to remember the bulk of the night before. Looking around the room, some parts come back to him more than others. How he ended up in this hole doesn't quite sink in though. After a few deep breaths while squinting at what little light is coming in the room, Breth stands up and answers the door. He sees Trenton standing in front of him, and more of the night starts to come back. After a few seconds of silence Breth appears to know who is in front of him and most of the night before.

"Ho there, what time is it? Any word from your fellows?"

[sblock=more edit]Once Breth starts remembering the night before he also remembers that he's standing there in his skivvies. He invites Trenton in while he starts making himself presentable to the day (or night) before them.[/sblock][/sblock]
