Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard

[ethandrew]

While the others talk hurriedly, about leaving or staying or playing with the dead, Estelle slowly moves her way through them. Her eyes focus on Muzdum, everything poriferal becoming black and nonexistant. In slow motion everything parts in front of her, leaving the dwarf alone on the edge.

She closes the gap between them in a flash. Anger, desperation, lust line her young face as she clenches her fist tightly into the straps of his backpack. The feralness is back, her teeth exposed as her eyes maniacally stare at the dwarf. "Give it to me now!! Give me the stone!" She shouts this, shaking him as she does.

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Wow! Let go of me crazy human!" Barks Muzdum upon been taken by surprise, as he is shaken by Estelle. Muzdum tries to turn and separate himself from the woman "What's wrong with you? Leave my things you thief!" he growls with fury. A dwarf is very attached to his materials belongings. "Stop before Ah' have to hurt ya lady! Ah'm warning ya!"

Valen Sablewood

The ranger's eyes narrow at Estelle's actions. He steps forth placatingly. "Now, now, my lady. Please stop this. We can surely speak calmly about this stone of yours."

 

[Yttermayn]

"The stone..." Aohdan muttered, his eyes distant and glazed. As the vision passeed, the light of consciousness returned to Aohdans features. He approached Muzdum, quickening his step as Estelle started to man-handle his friend. When she mentioned the stone, urgency became alarm and Aohdan charged in, attempting to force himself between his friend and the seemingly crazed Estelle.

OOC: Do I need to make a roll? Bull-rush or grapple or something?

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

OOC: Do we want to roll initiative? I think that mainly depends on ethandrew. Is Estelle able to be reasoned with? If not, initiative is in order, I think.

 

[ethandrew]

OOC: That depends on if the command issued was an actual command or merely a voice suggesting it. Since people can talk during rounds without needing initiative...

...Initiative of 24. Ooooh boy.

OOC: There isn't anything magical influencing Estelle at the moment, just a sense of compelling urgency in the voice. Estelle's will is still her own.

 

[ethandrew]

OOC: Then it would stand to reason that she could be convinced her actions are improper. Right now, she knows what needs to be done and has initiative I reckon.

William stands dumbfounded, staring as the beautiful woman goes crazy. "W..What is going on here? Estelle, what's wrong?"

[Amaury]

This was found in the old mines of Silvergard. I send it to you as a gift for your continued support of our cause. The stone you have provided has made it possible to partially rebuild the fort. We now have a garrison of Reapers stationed there and, with any luck and the dark will of the Lord of Death, we should have a truly defensible position by year's end. A few more shipments will ensure that this comes to pass and your final pay will be doubled as added incentive. Your continued secrecy in this matter is of utmost importance.

"Nice found Alaric.. Hum.. Stone? Reapers? Lord of Death? This sounds bad.. What is this talking about?" Johen wonders aloud. But Alaric quickly take the figurine and vanishes outside...

So he walks out as well and heads back to the halfling priestress, worried about the donkey. He checks the skies for High Flyer.

Norali

As Johen takes the reins of the donkey from Norali, she looks up at with tear streaked eyes, "I...I...think the Redeemer has forsaken me. Why can I not exert his will? Is my faith not strong enough? What have I done wrong?"

"Hum.. do not let your heart fill with these thoughts.. Gods and Nature are hard for us their servants to decipher somethimes... Sometimes Good can come out of Evil.. We're all alive that's what's important.. Tonight we should pray for these poor souls who have not been so lucky.." he says reassuringly.

Looking around and hearing the commotion he wonders: "What's going on now?? We should leave! Hey? HEY? Stop this!" he shouts when he sees Estelle and Muzdum come to grips.
