Intrigue In Candara

[Argent Silvermage]

(OOC too late we knew he was crazy some time ago.)
"Ah. Posession by an artifact. Not very common but I have heard of such things. What can you tell me of this 'Edilritter'?" Tal seems more focused than bfore.

"A good musician? Aye! I can sing, dance, and play a half-dozen different instruments better than anyone you'll ever meet. I speak six different languages, read seven more, and can kill men with a thought. I'm also really a dragon old as the earth and, most importantly, a fantastic and flamboyant liar." Abesh grins and mock-bows. "How's that for a resume, boss?" He begins walking again, ignoring the bemused looks of those around him. "As for cooking, I'm not so good at human food, but dragons like it well cooked."

"M' dad's name is Calmart Runihan. I got his last name, although there was some dispute about that..." Abesh laughs self-conciously. "The ears again there. He's a merchant, I mention that? Has eight kids, and is hell-bent on having something to give to all of them when he dies, Ukko keep that day away. I actually tagged along with him for a long time- as young as I can remember, I was walking along a caravan or through some strange marketplace. Learned a lot I did, working with my dad, especially about people." Abesh's grins dampens a bit. "He got set back something awful, when the Kelts attacked. I don't give a fig about gold, and I don't think he really does either, belive it or not, but he really doesn't want to leave us alone without a penny to our name...." Abesh shakes his head.

"What do I know about the Kelts? Not much, and that's the truth. They're a bunch of greedy, authoritarian, expanionistic and arrogant mages; that's about what I've heard and except for the wizard part I've confirmed it." Abesh looks around and wonders aloud. "I wonder what being in the army'll be like?"

"Now that we are locked in this room, I don't think we need lies and secrets anymore." says Father Antonio, looking at no one in particular. "I can understand that we have no valid reasons to trust each other, but in those three cities 'down' hundreds of people died or suffered greatly. If you know anything that may be useful to stop this massacre, don't keep it for yourselves. We share the same enemy. If you can help the peaceful folk of Candara against this threat, I promise you that your name, your story, or anything you want to keep hidden will never leave this room." He let his words fall in the silence, and take a little sip from his cup.
"I know the language of the Imperium, but I'm not familiar with the terms Crellaigh or Eldritter..."

"The Edilritter was found by Wil Knights father, and a man who's name doesn't matter because Wil killed the scum. The thing's as twisted as any demon lord, abyssal creature, or vile soldier. It's killed quite a few, including Wil's first love and a few others that get in the way. In the long run, Wil was never able to track it down. He lives somewhere quaint now, and I promised not to tell."

"The thing's practically invulnerable to all forms of magic, and it's ripped things apart on it's own. It also enhances the bearer, giving them insane abilities. One story told that an item that repelled dragons was amplified so much that it actually controlled them. Wil's a tough man, took that item and destroyed it -but never quite got his hands on the egg... er Edilritter."

"I've not been told to chase the thing down, but I swear I'll get back my good name. I don't believe the emporer is the real ruler, I think he's an imposter that the Egg came up with. His goal is to take over the world -in the long run. I don't doubt that the eggs able to do it either. It's magic is superior to anyone I've met, and I've been around Cielmer and Ventarbre."

"See, the egg is trying to gather up other artifacts -not the sentient ones mind you- and use them with itself to lay claim to all magic. It's not a good thing, not at all. I'd destroy it in a second, given that I could confirm it's location and form."

"In order to do anything, I need to get around the front line and into Keltic lands, get to the capital, and locate a few of my friends in the region. They could help me get closer to the emporer, and find out the real truth about this problem. I could probably fool the soldiers into letting me by, but I doubt I could ever fool the edilritter itself."

"So, posin that we can get to Kelvin, his lordship, past the Kelts army... we could seriously put an end to this war if I'm right and it's all the emporer's bidding. Like you've debated, there's no need to fight Candara, none at all. I think the Kelt's 'id give right up if they didn't get told to start a war."

(Trying very hard to not sound intellectual...)

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"As the good Father has pointed out we have no real reaspn to trust one another. However I for one would not pass up the chance to halt this war before it starts or gets to bad. And if this turns out to be a wild goblin chase than I at least can say to myself I tried my best to aid the kingdoms." Tal stands "Who is with me in going to the Kelt empire and finding this Egg?"

"Possession by evil artifacts," begins Ariel, "Not good, for if this, er 'egg' or 'edilritter' as it is called tires of the Emperor it will just find another soul to possess in order to spread it's evil." She pauses, takes a sip of her wine, then continues. "So, I agree that we should do something about this item. I am with you."

 

[National Acrobat]

Secrets?!

Ariel has an amused look upon her face at the mention of getting secrets out. "Well, I can assure you that I have no 'secrets' worth mentioning. I am a follower of Aphrodite and my main area of concern are the Healing arts. More specifically, the healing of people and their souls and their well being. I'm not much good in a physical fight, but I am rather good at affecting other's emotions to avoid a fight. I am a staunch opponent of all that is evil and I believe in doing good things. I just have trouble doing them in an organized manner at times. Other than that, I am just a simple woman with some simple pleasures."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Talisian seems almost to be holding back laughter when he hears the priestess. "Well I for one have no secrets. I am a wizard Who specializes in the Necromantic Arts. I am, and always will be, a defender of good and truth." He looks at the rest expecting to hear them say something.

The busty red head flashes a wry smile at Tal. "Something funny?"

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"Somehow even after knowing you less then 20 miniute I don't see the word 'simple' haveing anything remotly to do with you." Tal looks away from her and back to the father. "So where do we start this journey?"
