The Gray Spire (Game)

[Droon]

The gnome decided that it was too early and everyone is tired, so he asked the gathering postponed till tomorrow midday. Take watches over the prisoners and he'll pop in every so often to check up on them.

 

[Charberus]

"Well, last night was eventful." Bazut says to the gnome as they change their watch. "I am Bazut, and thanks to your skills and abilites, the girl was saved. Are you here to travel to the Spire too?"

Other then finding a way to turn the wolfskin into a cloak, or just getting it cured (so it will last longer)...I will help with the clean up.

 

[Droon]

As he pops in for your watch Bazut, he decided to say for a while to talk seeing that you started up a conversation. "Yes, it was." he pauses a moment. "As for the girl Beth, I..." rubbing his side as if an old bruise flared up, "think she was just in a bit of a shock, but I don't think she was in too serious a danger." He gives a light smirk, "I've seen her in much more dangerous situations. But you'll have to ask her about that." He then stiffens raising his chest up high. "As for me, my name is Parken Rutergein, and I am-" clearing his throat "returning there, I was escorting the girls to the spire. I suppose I shouldn't be telling you, but I see no harm in it. We tend to treat the girls first test differently then the boys." He takes a long breath, "At the spire's founding originally we had done them the same but, incidences have occurred that caused that to change. Mind you, they go though the same kinds of hardships but an escort is placed to make sure there not put into too much danger." he smooths his hair with a hand, "I was retired for a time and decided to wander the world, I had come across these girls one by one and decided to return and see how the spire was holding up." Random scratches on his clothing start to move about him and coalesce into the symbol of the Grey Spire. "As proof. But tell no one please." winking. "I am retired." yawning, "As for how I came to find them that you'll have to ask them."

Dreylin sleeps fitfully during the night. After a time of sleeping poorly, he leaves the room and positions himself on the floor next to the door just outside his room to get a good view of the hall. He keeps his blade close at hand while he waits for the time to pass by.

 

[Droon]

A light from the room at the opposite side of the ship looms into sight, it wavers back and forth. A figure behind the light approches turing into the girl you think is named Varen. She is dressed in a pink night gown near trasparaency, you can smell a bit of jasmine about her she approches smileing at you, then about 10 feet away the old gash opens to spew blood all over your face but her smile holds but her eyes roll back into her scull and she jumps at you!-wake up a cold sweat beeding your head, breath hoarse and dry. (HA! Beat that DM meanness) And you do what you say you did.

But as you stand in front of the door this time you see movement in the dark apporching you. A bout 30 feet away glimmer of eyes like brown cats eyes blink at you, the figure shakes it's head and quickly speaks in a whisper to herself, "Oh! Crap!" Then you hear some shuffling and you hear a scratching sound and a sunrod lights up.[sblock=Meow]

[/sblock]Varen blinks at you then quickly looks to the ground. "It-It's dark." she scratches her side, as if unaccostomed to the new night gown she is wearing, it looks slightly smaller then her or she might just be too big for it, your not entirely sure. "Um, I didn't thank you for earlyer...I" her feet shift slightly. "Um, yea. So. Thanks." She then turns with a sigh, and starts to walk back to her room.

 

[Dog Moon]

Dreylin scrambles to his feet as Varen turns away. "You welcome," he tells her quickly. He hesitates for a moment, unsure of what to say. "Are you feeling better?"

 

[Droon]

She turns and bears her teeth, as if unaccustomed to smiling, and nods vigorously. "I was healed by Kyre, s-she's realy good with that kind of stuff. I-I try but, it doesn't...I guess the light doesn't want me. But I'll show it! I am gonna be Evanúrtai then...then..." She closes her hand over her mouth as if she swore, and pauses a moment, "See you practice the sword. I think Kyre said something about that she-" She blushes deeply and covers up a wide grin, then quickly raises a hand slightly waving it. "Sorry, it's nothing. She said you were...Proficient with it." She places her hand where a hilt might be and waves it off realizing it's not there. "Maby we should spar some time. I-I would like that."

 

[Dog Moon]

Dreylin nods, startled at the nervousness of this girl. He always before seemed swift with considerate words, but now, they seem to escape him. Attempting to speak, to say anything, he blurts out, "I would like that."

He suddenly scratches the back of his neck, hoping the darkness hides his blush. "I fought a little bit in the army back home," he says after a moment, attempting to recover from his period of silence. "That's where I was recruited into going to the Spire. In this war, occasionally we are forced to fight those who we previously called brothers. It-" He decides he does not wish to speak of the war at a time like this. "I would like to spar." He winces at the abrupt change in conversation. "After we leave the boat, however," he adds. "The swaying of this boat is something I'm not accustomed to."

He again changes subject as if incapable of dwelling on a single topic for more than two minutes. "How did you get chosen for the Spire?" he asks her, then blushes again. "I don't mean to pry," he adds hastily and then stops, waiting for her reaction.

 

[Droon]

She puauses for thought, "I am...I was found on a ship when I was verry young. My parents had stareved in the middle of the sea, or that's what my foster parents said. They said it was pure chance when there ship has spoted the mine, but they took me in..." She smoothes her hair back. "They had children of there own but there were 5 boys, and the mother...she realy wanted a girl so they rasied me. When I was old enough they told me about it, at first I denyed it but, they took out the items that were recoverd, 2 curved blades one much longer than the other" Chuckes a little, "the long one was taller than me at the time." then a sigh "a forgin emblem chisled into it's hilt, they told me that they looked for the house it belonged to but noleads, so I left looking for anything that might point me in the right direction, I was never good at fishing anyway. While hunting for some rabbit I spoted a girl walking the road going the other direction, it was a common road but it was getting dark so she didn't see me, I set up some bedding inside an old giant stump I found. I was about to go to sleep when I heard some rummbling, horse moveing along quickly, there were 3 gruff dirty faced men on horses riding in the direction of the girl, one stoped and looked in my direction and said, "I think I heard somthing, you two go on ahead, we don't wanna loose her trail," the man started for my positon and saw my eyes, he wisperd somthing but I only heard...demon and he lunged at me" She looks to the ground "I'm not tho, I an't!...at first it was like fighting a blind man. He was right in front of me but he's swings were too wide sometimes. I was angry at him for calling me that...I coudn't stop myself I attacked him, I-I didn't think somone could bleed so much...but I took his horse and whent to go warn the girl, when I got there she was fending them off with a spear. She was luckly they wern't trying to kill her. I was able to help her, it became easyer the more I swung it...we decided to travle togather her name was Kyre, after a time Master Rutergein found us, acculy we found out he was following Kyre for some time, Kyre said she knew him from somwhere but she couldnt place it, and he didn't say. He changed subjects every time we woulg bring it up." Brushing her bangs aside she takes a breath, "He told us aboout the spire and here we are now." She yawns, "I'm abit tired, but I would love to hear your story about how you got your note." A small smile "Durring breakfast? Me and the girls have been helping in there the past copple days, Master Gnome says it bulids character..." She turns and walks away her movments like a panther in the night she turns to say, "Oh, the names Varen." she walks around one of the mast pillars, you hear her stuble and a thump. She quickly says, "I'm ok, I'm ok." And you hear a hissing sound and the sunrod goes out. "Stupid box..."

OOC: Damn, try and sit though that in a real DnD session, lol.

Dreylin stares in shock at the suddenly verbose girl standing before him. Maybe she talks a lot when she's nervous, he thinks. "That sounds like an excellent plan," he says when she has finished. When she turns around and says her name, he smiles and says his aloud: "Dreylin. It is a please to make your acquaintance."
