Paths of Legend: The Azgundi Tournaments

[Scott DeWar]

"Ah, my lord Captain, Yes I am on hor ladyship's guard. I am Renaldo D'Argaussi, at your service.

I believe i recall that from last night you and the lady estelle were at the Lord's manor, Have you two met before?"

he indicates Estelle and attempts to get estelle's attention, unobtrusively.


Renaldo turns to speak to the woman from the night before, but finds her retreating form instead

"Er, sorry sir. I beg your pardon in this matter. I thought you two might have known each other, is all and thought to bring you two together.

He bows in a very respectful flourish.

edit:
Ach!!!! I posted while he was posting!

[sblock=for memory recall only][sblock=nothing secret here][sblock=not at all]
As Captain Jannus leaves the archery field, Renaldo recalls seeing him in the Lords' Manor on a few occassions. He bears a strong family resemblance to Lord Ezra de Vedlund. He also recalls that it was Jannus that seemed at the center of the commotion at the Lords' Manor the other night as Renaldo was leaving to meet Estelle. And the woman he saw in the crowd at the manor...now that he thinks about it, it could only have been Estelle.

OOC: Posting Captain Jannus's response to keep the pace flowing.

Captain Jannus responds to Renaldo, "I met her briefly last night at the Lords' Manor when she delivered a message for Lord Ezra. If you'll excuse me, I am needed elsewhere."

With that, he starts heading toward the central pavillion where the various tents of the Lords and Ladies are situated.

"Yes my lord captain. pleas give my reaguards to Lady d' anovia."

REenaldo stands quietly for a minute, then tries to locate estelle.

He rememberw that her 'retreating form' was headed in "that" direction...'is that a giant with a crystal sword? how did i miss that? I need to leave that dwarf alone... ' he thinks to himself, as he heads in the diredction of estelle

OOC: what the heck is going on here? this is giveing me a massive head ache, i need food.

OOC: Just FYI, Captain Jannus works for Lord Ezra de Vedlund, who is a widower and in his 50s. Lady Nineveh d'Anovia is unmarried and in her early 30s.

I edited that first line there. I always wondered whey a lord d' Anovia was never mentioned.

hmmm a widower Lord and a single Lady... match maker matchmaker make me a match, catch me a catch find me a find....

ok, i realy am going to make that ham and cheese sandwich.

 

[Arkhandus]

"Master Entan is an old coot in the Adventurer's Guild. My teacher in the art of wizardry. And I guess he's going to be somebody of some kind of importance in the Arcane Academy when we get it finished, I dunno." Alaric responds, shrugging and spreading his arms out a bit. "And entirely too little fun," he adds.

"My dumb crow's more fun than Entan, yet it's taking entirely too long to find some booze. Maybe I need to give Demitri a thorough education on all varieties of booze, so he knows what I expect next time. I've only really brought him in the tavern once or twice, so he probably only recognizes the ale I was drinking." the young man rambles on.

Alaric looks around, no longer focused on his crude painting, the bowshots, and the Emiran fellow. "Whaddya know, almost everyone has wandered away. How rude. They have absolutely no attention span whatsoever. Poor Muzdum and Shayuri have no one to cheer them on." he mutters, before setting down the old sheet of paper and placing a fresh sheet on the board. This time, Alaric tries to paint the Lady Devera, who seems to be winning the archery competition.

For once today, he actually manages to do his subject justice, though he can't see her as clearly as the people around him in the observers' area. And he doesn't know her face nearly so well as he knows Muzdum's or even Shayuri's. So, he paints the Lady Devera at an angle that leaves just a profile of her face visible, shooting the bullseye.

OOC: 23 for Craft (Painting) this time.
1d20+4=23

Renaldo is passing Alaric when he hears the disappearance of every one. "yes, truely rude of them. perhaps the giant over there is the cause of the disappearance. I will have to excuse my self, good sir."

he then contues toward the towering hulk.

 

[Amaury]

Johen checks whether the cloaked figure could be Aleera, and if he spots her still seated, decides to go towards the cloaked figure.

He stands up and walks quickly towards the figure using the crowd to hide his movement. He stops 10 feet behind her, ready to intervene if she turns out to be aggressive.

 

[Shayuri]

This was it...the point she'd make it or break it.

Shayuri stuffs her fear deep down inside, and enchants her heavy crossbow again. She'd only be good for one or two more of those...probably not enough to get through the whole tournament. But it'd have to do.

She then produces one of the scrolls she'd bought specifically for this event. On reading it, a clear white light shines down on her target, creating a sympathetic link between it and her...as well as making it easier to see and predict the movements of.

It was the best she could do. There was still a good chance it wouldn't be enough.

With the sensation of a heavy weight hanging over her, Shayuri lifted the crossbow to her shoulders, sighted down it, and fired...

Even with the magic augmentation, the bolt fell far short of the target, embedding itself into the turf.

(To hit: 5, including range penalties. Roll Lookup )

For a moment she almost dropped the crossbow, and just stood there swaying slightly. Then she put the heavy crossbow back on the rack and retrieved her own, smaller weapon. Through all this her face was set into absolute expressionlessness as she ruthlessly clamped down on her reactions.

 

[Voda Vosa]

[sblock=OOC] I wasn't sure what modifier should apply, so I roller a 1d20 alone. I think it's a -1, I think. I don't remeber what was my crossbow attack bonus was, since I am -I should be- working, I don't have my character files. Roll: 17 -1: 16 I'll write down as if Muzdum hit the target, If I got the modifiers wrong, tell me and I'll edit.

Muzdum looks and negates with his head when the woman makes her shot. "Yer aimin' low lass, ye got ta consider wind direction an' projectile's ballistics. Not har', Ah' could teach ye." the dwarf says, not mocking at all.
He readies his shot, takes in account the wind, and traces the movement of the target. "So ye see the wind's blowin' from there, so Ah' shot there" with a slight inclination of his crossbow, he dwarf scores a hit, almost missing.
