Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

[Bront]

RA:
[SBLOCK]

*Kirkesh stabs the bullrushing guard, dealing a glancing blow, as she deftly dodges all three swords once more and prepares another attack.*
(OOC:
15 + 4 = 19, hit.
Guard B takes 8 damage--minimum
8 + 8 = 16, miss
11 + 7 = 18, miss.
3 + 6 = 9, miss.
Kirkesh's turn.)

Kirkesh attacks B normaly, and is now dodge guard C. Kirkesh takes a 5' step again to try to avoid a flank after her attack. She takes a quick look at Vanessa, letting her know she's all right.

"That is true," Talia conceded with a warm smile. She waited just inside for him, and took him arm when he stepped across the threshold. "And I am glad you did!"

[SBLOCK]
"Why, she wants to speak with you, of course. Did you not receive her letter? Oh...of course...apologies for sending a letter when perhaps you cannot read. In any case, Senator Olivia wishes to speak with you. It is a matter that will be to your benefit, I believe. If you would come with me?"
[/SBLOCK]

[sblock]
"Da letter was no problem, but da guards at da gate won't let me trough. And everyone keeps saying dat da senator is not in town. So where are you taking me den?" Gaius asks suspiciously.

*As Valyssa and Zaeryn quietly cuddle and talk, looking up at the stars, Valyssa gets excited and points up to a bright streak in the sky.*

"Look, Zaeryn--a shooting star! Make a wish!"

Kirkesh:
[SBLOCK]
*Though Kirkesh moves a bit to prevent flanking, the two guards who now go at the same time can always follow her steps and continue flanking. Nevertheless, Kirkesh stabs at the injured guard as two swords come slashing down on her from opposite directions and another from the side.*

*Somehow (perhaps due to the immortal hatred of a certain unseeable fortress), when everytyhing clears up and Kirkesh ceases dodging wildly to catch her balance, nobody was even nicked at all by all that, in fact, there were almost several terrible fumbles.*

*Trying again, this time Kirkesh suffers a minor wound from one of the swords, and her dagger is barely blocked by the guard's armour.*

(OOC:
Invisible Castle hates you all and wants you to suffer. I ran the round twice since the last one did nothing.
Kirkesh 1 + 4 = 5, fumble chance
Fumble roll 14 + 3 = 17 averts a fumble
Guard B 4 + 8 = 12, miss
Guard C 1 + 7 = 8, miss
Fumble roll 4 + 3 = 7, but it doesn't matter, since he had no more iterative attacks anyways.
Guard A 14 + 6 = 20, miss.
Kirkesh 13 + 4 = 17, miss.
Guard B 9 + 8 = 17, miss.
Guard C 18 + 7 = 25, hit by just a bit.
Kirkesh takes 4 damage.
Guard A 13 + 6 = 19, miss.)

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*Zaeryn closes his eyes and wishes for continued health and happiness for them both, before replying:*

“Done my love, but I couldn’t think of much to wish for as at this moment I have everything I want.”

*He says as he raises himself on one elbow, looking into her sky-blue eyes.*[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Talia:
[SBLOCK]
*Subterfuge smiles back.*

"And I am glad that you glad," he says with a laugh, as he walks arm-in-arm with Talia right up to the front row, which is so close to the stage that the actors could literally reach out and touch them if they wanted to, where there is a pretty red ribbon over the two seats in the middle to indicate that they have been reserved.

*Subterfuge takes off the ribbon and makes sure Talia is seated comfortably before sitting down himself.*

[Rystil Arden]

Gaius:
[SBLOCK]
"Why, to Senator Olivia, of course. She is indeed in town, though she doesn't want everyone to know. Will you please come with me, sir?"

*The Pleb stands up and gestures to the door.*
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Valyssa looks back into Zaeryn's eyes as she smiles.*

"Good--Then my wish has already come true!...Oh, but of course, we mustn't tell what our wishes were, or they'll go sour," Valyssa grins mischievously.
[/SBLOCK]

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*Yuriko finds everything still there where she left it.*

"Is everything and everyone ready to go, Shinoa? If so, we leave at once,"

"Yes, Yuriko-sama. The children and I are prepared to go, whenever you are ready and alert enough to continue."

"Do you know why I napped now, Shinoa-sama?" Yuriko asked, gauging her expression. "It is because with the nap I hope to be able to stay awake longer this evening to watch over you and your children in the night. Hopefully, it will be enough."

*Shinoa nods solemnly.*

"I suppose that is for the best--the kyuuketsuki may have had friends that are following us and waiting for nightfall, or something."
