[PBP] Tholestia Chapter 1: Minotaur trouble and a failed ambush

[Sullaf]

*bump*

 

[Ilan]

OOC: I changed my character so that i am now a full tholestian ranger.

I whisper in elven to Roland:"Mabye it in't such a good idea to make our intentions known until I have had the time to investigate the area where the four knights were ambushed. this could only mean more complications. The village may have something to do with it.

 

[Ravellion]

The farmer's speech is somewhat slurred:

"Well sih, I was ac'ually hoping tha' you wou' be able to investiga'e tha'! We were wondehin' wha' kinda t'ouble those knigh's had go'en themselves intah. Pehhaps you should be talkin' to Selwick, he's the village phies' and leader of sowts. He should be in the buildin' nex' 'o the mill. We've been havin t'ouble wi' this fully ahmou'ed Minotauh."

[Castho]

well my dear friend, the reason for my current capabilities within the field of magic is the extremely intensive training I have undergone. My father has always told me that he commenced spell training even before he learned me to talk. Needless to say this is an exxagarartion, but this example demonsrates how keen my parents were tranferring their great knowledge and skills to me......
Are you a spellcaster yourself, perhaps? if that is the case we surely could learn from each other. This mutual benefit might greatly help us during our quest.

Than, Louder:

People! let us hold still for a second and await the message that approaching farmer will bring us. Surely, he can inform us on what is going on in this region for I have noticed that the harvest is not yet completed and it is one day before the great festival, an annual highlight! /OOC or so I hope....OOC/

 

[Ravellion]

[OOCMost people haven't given descriptions of themselves yet (though Deepwinter 7's avatar is quite apt!). Instead of posting them here, email them to me and I will put them up in the characters section of my website here

I will also cut and paste backgrounds there.

As Roland does not speak a single word of elven he looks at Ilan with a puzzled expression. Just as he was about to comment on the strange but beautiful language, his attention is drawn to the shepherd. "Thank you kindly good Sir. You have helped us on our way. We shall find out what happened, I can guarantee you that."

Roland shares this new found information with all who did not hear it and ends with: "Let's go to the mill immediately."

OOC: I finally fixed Caspers problem. Castho is a test. I do not know if he will continue on this account, but this one works. I like the name though.

OOC: To mighty DM Affirmative / Roger that

 

[Ravellion]

OOC: Keep the account. If you really don't like the name, post in the META forum that you would like to have it changed. Very funny that you didn't speak elven though. I just noticed that Ilan doesn't speak Amstradan however, so what choice did he have?...

 

[Ilan]

OOC: I now know what to do with my xtra 2 skill points, I learn amstradan from Deepwinter

 

[Deepwinter 7]

OOC: Luckiliy I do not only speak elf but speak eleven as well... I guess I'll have to translate everything again, just like in the old days with Tobias

When moving away and out of sight of the peasant, Deepwinter 7 moves up to Sir Roland and says in Amstradan:

Brave Sir Knight, please pay heed to the words of the Elf. It is indeed not wise to make our intentions known to everyone we meet, as I and others have remarked before. This time rumour will not catch up with us, for the speed of our horses is unmatched by those of the peasants feet"

Moving closer and leaning towards Roland, Deepwinter 7 adds in Tarnian so Ilan can hear it as well:

"Surprise us and don't rush into that building to make a public stand in the courtyard, bleeting out our mission's objectives to friends and enemies alike. I recommend that we first give the Elf some time alone to look for tracks in and around Highloom. Meanwhile or preferably a little later, we could visit this Selwick guy and see what this Minotaur stuff is all about."

"If you and the others approve I will render the Elf invisible for the remainder of the day, so he can do his things unnoticed."

And if (and only if) everyone approves, to Ilan:

"After you're finished, meet us at Sunsdown at the horses, or if anything happens track us down. I can undo the spell at will, or you can undo it yourself when making your precense known in an active manner. If you want to I can also lend you my Facial Helmet of Light Amplification for even keener eyesight"

 

[Ilan]

"Good idea, Deepwinter, you would only slow me down. I was thinking about the same thing. It would be nice to lend you're mask"

OOC: This results in an increase of 5 to spot since they don't stack with my eyes of the eagle???

"Take my horse, I will only take my bow and sword with me. I will meet you at the inn. If there are complications, I will wait in the woods."

I wait for deepwinter to make me invisible and then walk towards the mill.
