Percy: pegasus, shall we take this up in the corner while those of the religious equation settle theirdifferences?

Pelinavaus: I believe we should. *grabs more food for Kaywinnit and walks to the corner*

Brother Palomo: *cracks nuckles* Ha But You Do Not Have This Body So You Need The Sword, I AmSure It Serves You Well

Pelinavaus: *laughing* are we sure he's a monk, not a jester?

Percy: aren't they the same thing?

Pelinavaus: they'd argue othewise

Brother Palomo: Follow Me On A Job And I Will Show You What Me And This Body Can Do!

DM: *Large muscular man walks into the hall, you recognize him as Kar Von, the drill master.* RIGHTYOU WORTHLESS MAGGOTS, TIME TO START DOING SOME TRAINING. THIS IS ISN'T JUST FREE FOODAND A BED!

Brother Palomo: *drops and beings doing press ups* Work Is Always Needed!

Pelinavaus: *carries on eating*

DM: *Other people in the hall file out. Some look longingly at half eaten plates of food*

Percy: this is where the fun begins *grabs some more pastries and stuffs into bag*

Brother Palomo: *switches to one handed*


4/39

Elihanna Swordhand: *goes to help Percy, muttering about beds and long journeys*

DM : *The cooks and orderlies usher people out of the hall, beginning the arduous task of cleaningup. Training staff herd the less enthusiastic members of the guild*

Percy: don't complain!

Pelinavaus: DON'T YOU HERD ME. I AM NOT A SHEEP

Percy: good point *opens bag and tries a sweet*

Brother Palomo: *does my own work out*

Elihanna Swordhand: *sits against the wall and closes eyes, opens one eye at the shout, sees who itis and closes it again*

Percy: *stretches* there. trained

Pelinavaus: *reluctantly puts food away and stands up. Remember old training drill from the warand half heartedly starts it*

Percy: *offers bag to elli* sweet?


5/39

Elihanna Swordhand: *cracks eye open* ahh go on then, thanks *takes a couple*

Pelinavaus: have we trained yet?

Percy: oi! my food!

Elihanna Swordhand: *winks*

Pelinavaus: KAY! I didn't bring any pastries, you can't eat Percy's food!

Brother Palomo: *starts doing pull ups on a nearby tree*

Percy: first i offered it, then you stole it

Percy: the dragon will have the lot!

DM : *Purrs contentedly*


6/39

Percy: no, not my food *grabs bag*

Elihanna Swordhand: *shrugs*

Hey Brother, fancy making the rest of us look a little less lazy?

Pelinavaus: careful Percy, her bite is nasty is she gets angry

Brother Palomo: *hangs from legs and does upside down siit ups*

Percy: if she sits nice i might give her some

Elihanna Swordhand: I'll take that as a no then... Hmm.. bow, or sleep.. bow or sleep?

DM : *hisss*

Pelinavaus: Kay, come sit here *tickles under chin*

DM : *The bell for free time tolls*

Elihanna Swordhand: My pleasure, bossman

Percy: *follows elli*

DM : *You head to the common hall, where tapestries and murals of great deeds line the walls*

Brother Palomo: *jogs in*

Elihanna Swordhand: *rolls eyes at the Brother*

Percy: does he ever stop?

Pelinavaus: how do you always have so much energy?

Brother Palomo: Never Stop And You Never Tire!

Pelinavaus: I stopped a long time ago

Elihanna Swordhand: Amen to that Percy


7/39

Percy: *yawns*

Pelinavaus: hey, brother, want to compare battle scars *starts pulling top up to reveal scar across myback*

DM : *The hall contains large benches and lounges, a large table contains small pastries andsandwiches*

Percy: *dumps bag on table*

DM : *A few of the people in the hall begin to make wolf whistles*

Brother Palomo: I Have No Scars! May Body Is as Nature Intended!

Pelinavaus: *hurls magic missiles at those whistling*

DM : (no you don't)

Percy: *ducks missile*

Pelinavaus: nature intended me to be scarred *grins, pulls my top down and runs to get food*

Elihanna Swordhand: Hey Percy, did you get any of that stew from earlier? Nice shot btw, Lin

Percy: nature intended?

Pelinavaus: sorry Percy, that wasn't aimed at you

Pelinavaus: thanks ElliPercy: i tried a little, couldn't get it in this though

Percy: oh, ok, thought you were aiming at all the wolf whistlers *winks*

Elihanna Swordhand: *shrugs* Plants are my thing, couldn't tell you about the rest of nature, andshame *grabs a sandwich*

DM : *A cook wanders in, carrying a large cauldron of stew*

Pelinavaus: wait?! you whistled?

Percy: thanks *pull sides down slightly* it's my good luck charm

Brother Palomo: *wonders off to the privi*

Pelinavaus: *shrugs* he didn't take food from us, it's all good

DM : *You recognize the badge as that of Lord Mordar Alenstrov, Justicar of the northern border.*

Percy: oh crap, this can't be good

Elihanna Swordhand: What does a Lord type want with this place?

Pelinavaus: I thought your hat was lucky, it should protect you from things like this

Percy: it's lucky, not magic. that's your department

Pelinavaus: not that kind of magic. I'm only an apprentice *sulks*

Percy: better than most, though

Elihanna Swordhand: *tweaks hood of cloak slightly* Hey, magic takes a while. I'm not all that goodmyself

DM : *The elder members of the guild read the letter, the look on their faces does not suggest goodnews*

Pelinavaus: *perks up and starts eating again* thanks

Percy: uh oh. that is not a happy face

Elihanna Swordhand: *is watching the leaders* errm, no problem.... Well I'm off to bed, night*leaves very quickly*

Varak: *loud and clunky footsteps are heard as a 6ft 2 Muscular man enters the hall, despite hislarge and impressive form, his expression is of confusion, he looks around helplessly*

Percy: yeah, it's getting late, might turn in myself

Percy: who is that?

Pelinavaus: is he one of us or one of them?

Pelinavaus: NEW GUY! FOOD?

DM : *His lack of anything remotely resembling proper clothing suggests not*

Percy: oh yes, excellent idea


10/39

Varak: umm... Food?

Pelinavaus: you know, that stuff you eat...

Percy: don't encourage it!

Varak: *nods intently* yes.. very hungry

Pelinavaus: speaking of eating... anyone seen Kay? Last time she disappeared she'd broken into thestore. They had me washing pots for months

Varak: *rushes over and starts scoffing*

Percy: *head falls on table* try under the table. Probably found my bag again

Varak: *mouthful* who's kay? *spits a bit of bread*

Percy: lovely

Pelinavaus: *crawls under table* KAY! KAY get back here!

DM : *Kay flies in through the door, carrying the letter that the elder members where readingearlier*

Varak: *BELCH* aaaahhhhhhh - very good

Varak: *wide-eyed at the dragon*

Percy: i think that her *turns to look* what's she got?Pelinavaus: *starts climbing from under the table, sees Kaywinnit with the letter and just crawls backunder*

Varak: *stays quiet, eyeing up the dragon and the letter*

Percy: oh no you dont * grabs lin's hood and pulls her out* fancy helping me big guy?

Varak: *nods*

Pelinavaus: *from under table* Kay you get down here! You are in so much trouble young lady!

Percy: help me than

Pelinavaus: *whines* but Percy, I'm safe down there...

Percy: go to her you lazy arse!

DM : *HISSSSS*

Varak: *rolls 22 to pull her out*

Percy: you're really not

Percy: look, the stew's still hot


11/39

Pelinavaus: what did you take that letter for? Do you have any idea the trouble I'll be in for this

Percy: unless they don't find out?

DM : *You get the feeling the elders have more important concerns*

Pelinavaus: they're going to notice the letter's missing

Pelinavaus: *stomach grumbles loudly* ok, fine, I'm coming up, I need more stew...

Varak: *looks away and awkward when the letter is mentioned*

Percy: not now, it's late, they'll be out cold till morning just *takes letter of Kay and tucks it into Lin'srobes* hide it for now, tomorrow morning we'll put it back, no one need know

Varak: *grabs more grub*

Pelinavaus: *distracts self with food*

Pelinavaus: we can read it later though, see why it made them pull those unhappy faces?

Percy: sure, not here though. the rooms are pretty private

Pelinavaus: *blushes slightly and touches the part of robes Percy tucked letter into*

Varak: So.. um.. you guys also here for adventurer guild?

Pelinavaus: we are. Who're you?

Varak: I'm Varak.. from up north

Percy: Percy

Pelinavaus: I know you did Percy

Varak: *giggles* hi Brother!

Pelinavaus: *hisses under breath* don't encourage him!

Varak: *jumps up and down in his seat* you're going to be my new friends, aren't you?

Percy: *looks at them both* do you think the monk will be jealous of Varak? he's pretty big

DM : (you do not "giggle")

Pelinavaus: *rolls eyes* yes, we're all friends here *forces smile*

Brother Palomo: Yes! New Freined With New Adventures! *draws imself up and laughs heartily*

Varak: loud manly giggle*?

Percy: (there's no such thing as a loud manly giggle)

Pelinavaus: I don't know, at least he's not posing and flexing like the monk

Varak: *rises with open arms* Brother!

Percy: doesn't need to, his presence does it on his own

DM : (you chuckle)

Varak: (loud manly chuckle-giggle)

Pelinavaus: true

Elihanna Swordhand: *appears* Brother, I can hear you upstairs.. which is a little crowded at themoment. Oh, hi new guy- Elihanna Swordhand or Elli

Pelinavaus: so vain...

Varak: More friends!?

Pelinavaus: *sighs* yes, lots of friends

Varak: *is obviously getting stupendously excited*

DM : aaaaaand the bell tolls for lights out

Pelinavaus: I'm northern too

Brother Palomo: Ha You Are Not A True Brother Of The Order, But I will Call You Friend *gives Varaka big bear hug*

DM : (sorry lads)

Elihanna Swordhand: I guess this is Varak then. *Sits and grabs a roll* still eating the roll

Brother Palomo: Apologies Eli, We Have New Friends!

Varak: *hugs back, turns to Pegasus* In the snowy place

Pelinavaus: *magics a small light* so, someone going to show me where these beds are then?

Varak: *Recoils at the magic*

Pelinavaus: ah, I am not from the snowy place.

Percy: don't think he likes you now

Varak: *turns away from Pegasus*

Pelinavaus: ah well, at least I won't have his ego hanging over me

Varak: *makes for bed* It was nice meeting you all.. *winces at Pegasus*

Brother Palomo: Beds Seem Like A Good Idea! Good Night Friends! *heads up stairs to find a space*

Percy: come on Pegasus, i think the beds are this way. *leans in and whispers* we can find thatprivate place if you want

DM : (You aren't obligated to be scared of magic btw Josh)

Elihanna Swordhand: Aand I'm going to take that as my cue to go *disappears*

Pelinavaus: night brother, night Elli, night Varak.. *follows Percy* we can read the letter...

Percy: yeah, that's what I was thinking of doing

Varak: *stomps off out of sight*

Pelinavaus: *is a little niave*

Elihanna Swordhand: Letter? What letter?

Elihanna Swordhand: *pretends to be naive to save sanity*


14/39

Percy: nothing! *grabs Lin's hand and runs off*

Elihanna Swordhand: Charming

Pelinavaus: *runs after Percy to avoid being pulled*

Pelinavaus: *shouts* SORRY ELLI, I'LL EXPLAIN IN THE MORNING.....

Elihanna Swordhand: *shudders* -muttering to self- That'll give me nightmares *Finds bed again*

Percy: *alone with Lin* ah, problem. *turns to Lin* serious moment, you don't mind, secrets, doyou?

Pelinavaus: secrets, no, i like secrets, i have a lot of them myself, mostly from the war

Percy: well, what about secrets about someone's...identity?

Percy: *whispers secret in Lin's ear*

Brother Palomo: (then kisses it?)

Varak: *rolls a listen check*

Varak: *gets 8*

Pelinavaus: that's ok Percy *smiles reassuringly*

Varak: *hears nothing.. continues to stare at the stars*

Percy: *grins* really?

Pelinavaus: of course

Percy: great. well, let's go...read that letter *walks to empty room and holds open door*

Pelinavaus: *follows Percy into the room* yes.. the letter

Elihanna Swordhand: *was sitting in empty room* Err... hi?

Pelinavaus: *sqeaks in surprise* ELLI!!

Elihanna Swordhand: *grins* Did I hear something about a letter?

Percy: sorry, wrong room. well try to keep it quiet *smiles and hooks Lin round the waist

Pelinavaus: *coughs* yes, a letter..

Percy: no no, not at all. that's a point where is that bloody dragon?

Pelinavaus: Kay stole it, we need to read it later

Elihanna Swordhand: *raises eyebrows* well... maybe I should hold onto it for safekeeping?

Pelinavaus: *whiney pouty voice* Elli, have you seen Kay?


15/39

Percy: she's probably scarfing the last of the stew

Pelinavaus: *grins at Percy's arm hooked around her waist* we should go get her back...

Elihanna Swordhand: Sorry Lin, though Percy's bag is probably a good place to start

Percy: come on then, can't waste any time

Percy: crap! i left it in the main hall!

Elihanna Swordhand: *chuckles*

Pelinavaus: *stumbles out of room with Percy* better go back, don't want to be washing pots again

Percy: and i need that bag! see you tomorrow Elli! big day!

Elihanna Swordhand: Okay then, I'll pretend that was totally innocent

Pelinavaus: *back in main hall* kay, kay, come back, i've got food for you

Percy: *distracted* no problem, thanks *follows Lin and shuts door*

Percy: Kay, if you're wrecked that bag I'll...be very cross

Pelinavaus: i'll get you a new bag if she's wrecked it

Percy: thanks

Pelinavaus: Kay!

Percy: I think I heard something in the kitchen

Percy: (bear in mind Pete can't be Kay)

Pelinavaus: *goes to kitchen*

Percy: (Kay is curled up on top of the oven)

Pelinavaus: *smiles at sleeping Kay* you are going to end up so fat if you keep eating like this*shakes head at Kay and scoops her up* come on Percy, let's find an empty room..

Percy: (Kay purrs in her sleep)

Percy: *smiles* sure. She'll be alright?

Pelinavaus: she'll sleep in my robes, I'm not leaving her in here

Percy: and where will your robes be? if you don't mind my asking?

Percy: *winks*

Pelinavaus: in the corner, on the floor

Percy: excellent


16/39

Pelinavaus: have to make sure the room really is empty this time

Brother Palomo: *is snoring loudly in the first you check*

Percy: that might be easier said than done

Pelinavaus: *whispers* not that one then.. I want to drop ink on him, see what happens when his'perfect body' isn't so perfect..

Percy: don't, there'll be a tantrum in the morning

Varak: *is awkwardly sprawled out on a clearly undersized bed, a minuscule blanket covering all thewrong parts of my hairy naked body*

Pelinavaus: but he'll never know it was me

Percy: it doesn't matter

Pelinavaus: *backs out of Varaks room* not that one!

Percy: ewww

Varak: *snorts and scratches arse*

Pelinavaus: I told you not that one!

Percy: i know i know!

Pelinavaus: there must be an empty room here somewhereVarak: *lets off a loud and nose-destroying flatulent*

Pelinavaus: *coughs and slams door*

Percy: i say again, ewww!

Pelinavaus: yes

Pelinavaus: *opens another door* I think this one's empty

Percy: hello? anyone here?

Pelinavaus: *silence*

Pelinavaus: think we're good

Percy: finally *smiles* come on then

Pelinavaus: *closes door and takes off robe, carefully tucking Kaywinnit into it and moving the letterso she can't destroy it in her sleep*

Percy: *locks door and turns around* wow.


17/39

Pelinavaus: *is smiling at peaceful, sleeping Kay* what? *notices Percy looking at state of undress*well, take your hat off then...

Percy: Oh, right *pats hat* but, it is my lucky hat

Pelinavaus: *winks* you'll still be lucky without it

Percy: *touches edge of hat* you sure?

Pelinavaus: take it off before I do it for you

Percy: *pulls it off and pushes short hair off my face* there, better? *starts to unbutton waistcoatand pulls shirt off

Varak: (is this normal for this society? Pseudo-Homo-Hetero-Fantasy-Sex?)

Pelinavaus: (haha yes, very much so)

Pelinavaus: *unlaces trousers, kicks off boots and flops back onto the bed yawning*

Percy: *Copies, except I lie on the bed a little more gracefully to not crush you*

Pelinavaus: *smiles and yawns, wrapping my arm around you*

Percy: *brushes hand across scars* they look painful

Pelinavaus: *shrugs* they don't hurt now. Besides scars are beautiful, they show my enemies that Iknow I can survive

Percy: Wow, thats...*leans in, brushing cheek with my nose* amazing

Pelinavaus: *smiles and blushes, reaching up and pushing your hair off your face* thank you

Percy: *leans in and gives you a soft kiss*

Pelinavaus: *smiles and softly kisses back*

Percy: *smiles* Are you tired?

Pelinavaus: *yawning* a little

Percy: Ok, I'll try not to keep you awake *kisses you again, while stroking a hand through your hair*

Pelinavaus: *smiles and curls against you, pulling you closer to me, kissing your cheek*

Percy: *runs a hand up your back and strokes your hair with my other hand*

Pelinavaus: *shudders slightly as you stroke over the big scar on my back* *mumbling* that's nice

Percy: good, *strokes over it again*

Pelinavaus: *breath catches in my throat and I kiss your neck softly"

Percy: *gasp slightly* what happened to sleeping?


18/39

Pelinavaus: *yawning and sleeping* you distracted me...

Percy: apparently not well enough *kisses cheek*

Pelinavaus: *smiles in my sleep and cuddles in close*

Percy: *i cover us with the blanket and wrap my arms around you* we'll have some fun tomorrowthen

Pelinavaus: *mumbling in sleep* mmm fun

Percy: *smiles as i close my eyes*

*Wilkas enters the dining hall the next morning, peering around* Percy? You here?

Percy: *walks in, yawning* took you long enough. don't tell me you got lost again

Wilkas Carter: A bit, then someone called the guard over 'trespassing'. Her garden wasn't that greatanyway. What's it like here? Worth staying?

Silver Blade: *Enters the hall* (you haven't seen me in a few days, but know better than to askwhere I've been) Greetings ladies and the rest of you. Fear not, The Silver Blade has returned *bowsin an over the top manner with a flourish of my wide brimmed fancy hat*

Silver Blade: What fun and games have I missed?

Percy: i was going to say yes, but *looks at new guy* how badly do you want to eat?

Silver Blade: The "food" they serve here, well I suppose I must sustain myself.

Percy: the stew's good.

Wilkas Carter: Hey, anything's better than the stuff in the guardhouse!

Wilkas Carter: Though the company was nice and peaceful..

Silver Blade: Good stew, what a quaint concept. More of a stuffed quail man myself, but necessitydictates. To the Eatery!

Percy: quail? Where did they find this guy?

Silver Blade: Where ever evil hides or corruption lurks, you will fine The Silver Blade.

Wilkas Carter: Did he just call the guild evil?

Silver Blade: (yes he is a bit of a dick)

Percy: i'm not sure

Percy: (we got that)

Silver Blade: All that glistens is not gold, as they say. But don't worry your mind about it.


19/39

Percy: charming! *nudges walker and whispers* food's normally this way, we'll eat outside

Wilkas Carter: Look, are you giving out money or not? It's too early for this.. I'll follow as soon as Ifind out if there's money in staying Percy.

Percy: *rolls eyes* just ignore the fake noble man and come get some coffee (or whatever themedieval equivalent is)

Wilkas Carter: Sensible plan.. I knew I kept you around for a reason. *pushes past Silver Blade*

Percy: kept me around?!

Silver Blade: I am neither fake nor noble, I am a brother in arms against the dark forces of this world.Coffee would be good *strolls after them, dropping the over the top mannerisms as soon he he's outof sight of the main hall*

Silver Blade: So guys, what's been happening?

Wilkas Carter: What else would you call it? I'm just so damn generous I let you follow around on mycoattails *Is clearly being sarcastic*

Percy: generous are you? im surprised that word's in your vocabulary

Wilkas Carter: I'm a surprising man. I've even been known to occasionally share the pay. By the wayis that guy following us?

Percy: yeah, in my dreams. *glances behind us* maybe if we ignore him he'll leave us alone

Wilkas Carter: When does that ever work? Let's just skip the queue for the food and nick something,if he can follow us through that then he deserves to

Silver Blade: *bellows* Why the hushed tones? Is there mischief afoot?

Percy: *already at the table* there's a queue?

Percy: *grabs a plate of food and pours it into bag*

Silver Blade: *Sits at the table, winks at a female member of the serving staff, shortly afterwards aplat of hot food arrives, but your sure they wasn't table service*

Wilkas Carter: Wha? Oh damn I'm tired. Hey, shiney sword you can start your good deeds for the dayby fetching me breakfast, deal? *seats next to Percy and steals a slice of toast out of his bag*

Percy: *slaps your hand* what have i said about sharing?

Wilkas Carter: It's better to ask forgiveness than permission!

Silver Blade: *sits up enough to reveal a pair of fine rapiers shethed under his cloak" There's notneed to be uncivil.

Percy: you're confusing me with your conscience again *eyes up rapiers and smiles* whatever yousay boss


20/39

Silver Blade: (for the first time you notice that under the fancy clothes his body he muscled andclearly make for fighting)

Percy: *nudges Carter and nods towards Silver Blade*

Wilkas Carter: Ah, quit your posing Mr. *signals Percy to distract him*

Percy: you're an idiot

Silver Blade: Oh, good times.

Percy: *raises eyebrow* where do they find these people?

Silver Blade: Nothing like the banter of your fellow man to raise your spirits.

Silver Blade: I think we cover this topic earlier.

Wilkas Carter: *waits for Silver's attention to settle on Percy and starts trying to work out where he'smoney bag is*

Silver Blade: *after some time you notice his cloths are fine but worn thread bare. He is wellgroomed but clearly not living to the style in which he is accustomed. No fat money purse in sight*

Percy: *sees Carter's attention and rolls eyes. Shifts slightly away from Carter and leans on table*you like banter?

Wilkas Carter: *settles for swiping his breakfast and shaking his head disappointedly at Percy*

Percy: *kicks you under the table*

Silver Blade: *noticing the pilfered breakfast (eventually) simply shrugs*

Silver Blade: I, a bit of banter is good for the soul.

Percy: *smiles slightly* hmmm, this might not be so bad after all

Wilkas Carter: Healthy attitude, I wish I knew more that reacted that way *holds out hand to shake*

Silver Blade: *shakes it firmly* There are a million things in the world more important than a littlemissing breakfast.

Percy: *mutters* if you say so

Silver Blade: So how do you find yourselves here?

Wilkas Carter: Hey just imagine if he can convince the other do-gooders to be this lax!

Silver Blade: You joke, of course.

Percy: there aren't that many here. there's a crazy monk, a half dressed northern giant, a cleric and awizard apprentice

Percy: of course, we joke. nice knives


21/39

Wilkas Carter: Hmmm, surprising..

Percy: *shrugs*

Silver Blade: *sniggers involuntarily* Indeed, they have served me well.

Percy: *nods* must have fetched a pretty price

Silver Blade: They are a burden I must bear, but yes they cost more than you could imagine *for asplit second his light upbeat facade drops and you seem a glimpse of deep darkness and loss in hisface*

DM: (BEEP BEEP BEEP BACKSTORY ALERT!)

Wilkas Carter: You sure do mood swing don't you? Why carry them if your gonna get all depressed?

Silver Blade: Indeed, I digress. Some sparing anyone or a few miles of running?

Percy: sure, why not? although, if those are as good as you say they are, my hunk of metal won'tstand a chance

Silver Blade: A blades is only as good as the purpose that drives it. *spends the rest of the daytraining hard with whoever will join him*

Wilkas Carter: I'm not such a suitable sparring partner but I could go for a run I guess..

Percy: *to carter* how badly do you wanna join the guild? those swords are nice!

Wilkas Carter: What if there's something better to get though? No point only raiding half a bankafter all..

Percy: wow, you came out with a good point for once

Wilkas Carter: Damn right! I mean I heard rumors there's a pseudodragon just wondering about theplace! Do you how much a breeding one of those is worth?

Percy: i wouldn't touch the pseudodragon if i were you. *fills bag with food and starts to leave to gooutside*

Wilkas Carter: Why not? *collects another plate and runs to catch up*

Percy: it's magic

Wilkas Carter: Guess hitting it over the head might not work then.. Wizards and magic pets huh?Claudius wouldn't believe a word.

Percy: *shakes head* idiot!

Wilkas Carter: Hey, the simplest plans have the least ways to go wrong!

Percy: you want to take out something with magic? you serious?

Wilkas Carter: It can be done! I saw a dead wizard in the war so it must be possible..

23/39

Pelinavaus: Lord Alenstrov is facing an enemy he can't beat. He needs help. He's asking for peoplefrom here to be sent out

Percy: Lord Alenstrov...that northern giant?

Pelinavaus: I believe so

Percy: oh...well i wish him luck in THAT...come on let's put the letter back

Pelinavaus: what if they send us?

Percy: then we'll get elli to pray to her god that we die a peaceful death

Pelinavaus: and the monk. And anyone else who believes in any god

Percy: don't think the monk will pray

Pelinavaus: he might for himself

Percy: he'll be too busy flexing and trying to beat this thing on his own

Pelinavaus: true. bless him

Percy: bless him?

Pelinavaus: patronising endearment

Percy: right...breakfast? *holds up bag*

Pelinavaus: FOOD

Percy: *hands over bag*

Pelinavaus: *through mouthful* thank you

Percy: no problem

Percy: *looks at Kay asleep* that reminds me...you're gonna want to keep a better eye on her

Pelinavaus: I am?

Percy: yeah...i saw someone earlier, ive...had some past encounters with. he's got big eyes, a smallbrain and quick hands.

Pelinavaus: *eyes flash with anger* he touches my baby, I'll destroy him

Percy: *nods* fair enough

Pelinavaus: better wake her up, and put the letter back

Josh Wick *snorts* huh wha? what time is it? *rolls out of bed*

Percy: is it a good idea to wake a dragon up?


24/39

Pelinavaus: wake Kay with food and its fine.

Josh Wick *don's armor and weapon, feels hungry and makes for food*

Percy: great, more of my food she's nicking

Pelinavaus: *takes a pastry out of bag and wakes up Kay* *looking over shoulder to Percy* it's ok, I'llmake it up to you....

Percy: you'd better

Josh Wick *takes food back to the room, has a mid-morning nap*

Pelinavaus: *laughing/winking* oh, I will

Percy: hmm...when?

Pelinavaus: soon. We have to put this letter back first

Percy: *sighs* do we have to?

Pelinavaus: yes! I'm not washing pots again!

Percy: fine, give me the letter

Pelinavaus: what're you going to do with it?

Percy: put it back

Pelinavaus: I can put it back!

Percy: *raises eyebrows*

Pelinavaus: what?!

Percy: nothing, nothing at all *steps aside* you've had experience with pot washing right?

Pelinavaus: i'm not doing it again

Percy: right, then give me the letter

Pelinavaus: *reluctantly hands over letter*

Percy: thank you *smiles*

Pelinavaus: *goes down to the hall in the hopes of finding breakfast"

Brother Palomo: *starts clearing tables and assisting the staff*

Silver Blade: *approaches the head of guild" Greeting noble sir

Percy: *enters hall and looks at how busy everyone is*


25/39

DM: *You approach the guild master, he is a short grizzled warrior, advanced in age so much that hisscars outnumber his hair strands*

DM: What do you want?

Silver Blade: The stange solider that approached you yesterday seems to have caused quite a stir.

Silver Blade: A Northern soilder in this lands, it makes people uneasy.

DM: That northern lad? Aye, what's yer point? *He looks annoyed*

Silver Blade: I'm simple asking if I can lead my blades to help... calm people.

Percy: *sees the Silver Blade and rolls my eyes, starts to walk past, dodging people bustling*

Silver Blade: Panic can make people do stupid things, and we've got plenty of that already.

DM: Death is the best calming agent for sure. *He laughs* No lad, killing isn't necessary right now.

DM: There ain't no panic right now, I aim to keep it that way.

DM: (He doesn't know you've read the letter)

Percy: *overhears this comments, and whispers* yeah, we'll see how long that lasts

Silver Blade: *Grins in agreement*, very well. You know where I am should your needs change.

Silver Blade: *Bows and walks back to the common tables*

DM: Aye, but I doubt I'd need a green boy such as you right now.

Percy: *tries to get past without you noticing me*

Brother Palomo: *finishes helping tidy and goes outside to start morning exercises*

DM: *He laughs, then stops, he falls down, dead.*

DM: (COMBAT RULES, WHETHER YOU HIT OR MISS DEPENDS ON HOW WELL YOU DESCRIBE YOURACTIONS, NOT TOO SHOT, NOT TOO LONG.)

Percy: oh god

Silver Blade: *Rushes over to see if he can help out* (has a rudimentary knowledge of medicine)

DM: *He has multiple arrows sticking out of him.*

DM: *A man in black leather armour steps over him, and he aims a spear at you, what do you do?*

Silver Blade: *Rushes in the direction the arrows seem to have come from*

DM: *He stabs at you*

Silver Blade: Clearly I spat arrow from my mouth, now get out of my way! The killer is probablyescaping.


26/39

Percy: are you kidding me? *skirts round the edge of the group*

DM: *His spear glances your arm, drawing blood*

Silver Blade: *Draws blades* Are you an idiot or just misguided? He's clearly been shot, do you see

he holding a bow?

Percy: idiot! *moves away from the scene, through the group gathering around*

DM: *This draws no reaction, you see there is no emotion and his skin is pale, he swings again*

Percy: Monk! there's an evil guy killing people over here!

Brother Palomo: *comes back in at the sound of commotion* What Is Going On!

Percy: Guy! Evil! Murder! Help!

Percy: *draws dagger*

DM: (You attack?)

Silver Blade: "I lunge forward with both blades aimed towards his chest"

Brother Palomo: *sees the guy swinging a spear at my friend* WHAT! *charges at him shoulderdropped and attempts to drop him to the floor*

DM: *He bats both blades out of the way with the spear, as the monk catches him off guard andbundles him to the floor*

Brother Palomo: *I attempt some grapple moves to restrain him*

Brother Palomo: What Are You Doing Here!

DM: * He resists you with worrying ease, punching you while going for a dagger*

Silver Blade: *While he is distracted I quickly glance round the room for a would-be archer.*

DM: *You see more men in black armour have appeared, and that you are on your own in this fight*

Brother Palomo: *I attempt to disarm him while striking with my elbow*

DM: *While he is strong, he seems brittle, your elbow crushes his jaw and skull and he liesmotionless*

Silver Blade: (I assume black armour means nothing to us?)

DM: (Nope)

Percy: *where are the nearest soldiers to me?*

22 December at 22:42 Like


27/39

Silver Blade: *Jumps on the nearest table, flourishes weapons* Stay back vile fiends, you leader isfelled, the rest of you can easily follow.

DM: *An archer with an arrow pointed at you Ash is moving toward you*

Percy: not again *backs away in a diagonal direction to get ready to dive while drawing my sword*

DM: *A swordsman rushes you Michael, while another punches you Scott.* (Let me handle Ashfirst!)

Brother Palomo: *i release the crumbled man from my grasp*

DM: *The archer fires, you duck underneath, nimbly avoiding the arrow.*

Percy: (thank you) *i rush forward and jump at him, sword forward*

DM: *The sword slips beneath his ribs, black ash pours outwards, he is very wounded, but managesto punch you before pushing you away.*

Percy: bitch! *I slice at his arm with my dagger and strike for chest again with my sword*

DM: *The dagger slices off his arm and your sword seems to dissolve his chest as he disintegratesinto black ash*

Percy: jesus! *steps back* what the hell are these guys?

*Here lies an epic fight scene that was conducted on Skype. Wilkas Carter has joined the party. Eachof the men turned to ash when they were killed. There was also a giant man whose skin was stitchedtogether from other peoples, he was ridiculously tough but weak to fire .*

Percy: nice shooting there Carter, knew I kept you around for a reason

Wilkas Carter: Damn right you do! What in the hells where you doing jumping around on his back?

Silver Blade: Thanks for the backup guys, that would have taken forever on my own.

Brother Palomo: (was i sucker punched uncosious then?)

DM: (Yup)

DM: *The monk wakes up, a little groggy*

Silver Blade: Is the lady injured?

Brother Palomo: Son Of A Goat Sucker Punched Me!

Silver Blade: or anyone else?

Silver Blade: Do you want me to kiss it better?

DM: (You are a little bruised)

Brother Palomo: What Happened?


28/39

Silver Blade: Evil ash monster killed the guild master, then were "silver bladed".

Wilkas Carter: Well we all had a little lesson in the combat application of fire too.. You always fallover so quickly?

Silver Blade: From the looks of the gear, these things where some soldiers from the war.

Brother Palomo: Hey! He Was Abnormaly Strong And Caught Me Off Guard For A Second

Brother Palomo: They Leave Anything Useful?

Silver Blade: It's ok, if you hand around with me for long enough, something is bound to rub off.

Wilkas Carter: Don't have to be, plenty of farmers sold their kit when they got back. No use of it inthe country..

Silver Blade: Nope, rusted weapons.

Silver Blade: no coins or medals, as far as I can tell.

Silver Blade: I guess we need to find that soldier.

Silver Blade: *starts ask around the remaining adventures if they know anything about the soldierthat delivered the letter*

Wilkas Carter: Why? Let's just get out of town before someone tries to get us in gaol!

DM: *One of them responds* Why!? What does he have to do with this?

Silver Blade: He was one of the last people to talk to the guildmaster. He could know somethingabout this mess. Do you know where he went after here?

DM: He was dressed in the livery of that giant lord, what of it?

Silver Blade: *to Wilkas* I'd prefer to find out why this happened before more of these beastiescome after us.

Silver Blade: Yes, I recognized the livery. Do you know where he went or if he stayed somewhere intown?

DM: I dunno, he seemed in too much of a hurry to stick around!

Wilkas Carter: *Snapping back at Silver Blade* Why would they? None of us have power or authoritylike a guildmaster. Do you know why they'd come after us? ASKING QUESTIONS!

Percy: well...good luck with finding out about that. I'm going to go umm...*pats shirt* go deal withsomething

Silver Blade: Ok, thank you for your help.

Percy: good point, very good point, now if you'll excuse me *backs away slowly* thanks again, withthe shooting and all


29/39

Wilkas Carter: *Frowns at Percy, is clearly thinking*

Brother Palomo: *sits around still feeling groggy*

Silver Blade: (to the group) Don't you remember the letter? Don't you think these things are related?

Do you know how much money (insert name of norther warlord) has?

Percy: letter? What letter?

DM: (Ask then!)

Wilkas Carter: Who got post?

Brother Palomo: Eh? Whats This Letter?

Silver Blade: This (shows them).

DM: *Percy is looking very shifty*

Percy: (how can you show them?)

Silver Blade: Something bad stirs up north.

Silver Blade: Because I took it from the guild master's body.

DM: (Will copy and paste the letter)

Wilkas Carter: (I though Percy had the letter still?)

Percy: (impossible, i have the letter dumbass)

Percy: To Cassus Facinus, Guild Master of the Adventures.

Old friend, I desperately require your aid. A dark force stalks the streets of my city. It kills, not caringfor age or gender, guard nor citizen. I am at a loss as how to stop it and my soldiers are powerlessagainst it. I need your aid, my city will not survive without it.

Ever yours,

Lord Mordar Alenstrov,

Lord of DrakesHolm, Justicar of the Nothern Border.

Silver Blade: (well God said it was on the body)

DM: (it was)

DM: (5 past plot)


30/39

Percy: (when?)

Silver Blade: (Peli's dragon put it back)

Percy: (what? kay stole the letter, then lin gave it to me this morning, i was going to put it back when

the soldiers came in)

DM: (I plotted it back onto the body)

Percy: (Kay didn't do anything like that)

Percy: (Well i don't remember you telling us that, and it makes more sense for me to have the letterwhich is why I'm acting all shifty so Carter calls me up on it and i have to show you)

DM: (Fiiiiiiiiiiine, that's how it happened)

Silver Blade: (letter disappears from my hands in a puff of logic)

Silver Blade: (anyhooo, must dash. I'll basically be spending the day asking around town to see if anyone knows anything about the black leather clad guys or the solider, and if possible convincingothers from the guild to help out)

Wilkas Carter: *Carter sneaks up behind Percy and grabs him*

Percy: Oi! What are you doing? let go!

Wilkas Carter: Percy, tell me something; do you have anything you want to confess about what we'redoing standing over a dead guildmaster we wanted to work for?

Percy: No! No! Not at all! Now let me go!

Wilkas Carter: As much as I love and trust you *Rolls eyes*

Percy: Fine! Fine! Fine! Just let me go!

Wilkas Carter: Sensible *Walks off to the side of the hall and sets him down*

Percy: Just, make sure neither of those fluff heads sees it, they'll get themselves killed *pulls letterout of shirt and hands it to you*

Wilkas Carter: *Scans it over quickly* Aww crap, both why and how do you have this?

Percy: i was just about to put it back! it would already be there if it wasnt for those damn ashmonsters

Wilkas Carter: Brilliant, good plan and we're still running with that, but I also want to know HOW yougot it in the first place. This could be important Percy!

Percy: it obviously is important, and i offered to put it back for someone else

Wilkas Carter: Can you not hear how much this sounds like a train of evidence? Thank the gods Inoticed you! *Is pacing a little* Right, want me to run distraction while you plant that on the old


31/39

man? Or we could leave it in his room before they clear it out I guess.. And then we're going to seewhoever it is you're doing this for.

Percy: Oh please, I'm not an idiot! Like I said, if it wasn't for those guys it would already be back inhis room. Just...let me handle it ok? I've been doing this my whole life

Wilkas Carter: *Sighs a little OTT* Yeah, you've got this. Go take care of it, but we're still BOTH goingto find this guy. They could have been trying to set you up!

Percy: No way. They're too nice to do something like that *looks around at the rest of the hall to seeif everyone's distracted*

Wilkas Carter: Because no one's ever lied before? *Walks off and starts a loud discussion about theguildmaster s movements over the last few days with the still confused crowd, drawing everyone

Percy: always so cynical *looks down nearby corridor and sees multiple guards round Guildmaster's

room* shit!

Percy: Carter?

Wilkas Carter: Yeah? This is good news isn't it? Pretty please?

Percy: I might need a hand with this one

Wilkas Carter: What's the hold up? *makes sure everyone else is busy*

Percy: *nods towards the corridor*

Wilkas Carter: *Walks over and peers round* But I asked so nicely for it to be good news!

Percy: since when do we ever get good news? *pats shoulder* do we plant it on the body or what?

Wilkas Carter: Might be good, then we can let one of those idiots back there "find" it.. Or we couldtry the oldest trick and just run at these guys screaming about the guildmaster being attacked in thehall?

Percy: they know he's been attacked, that's why they're clearing out that room!

Percy: we could just leave it somewhere random? someone would have misplaced it, they'll find it inthe end

Wilkas Carter: To be fair we could just burn it right now? Let's get out of the doorway first though..

Percy: come on, this way *walks across the hall to the next corridor

Wilkas Carter: *Follows, looking out over his shoulder for anyone following*

Percy: hold on, did you just say burn it?

Wilkas Carter: Well if they never find it they're first thought won't be "I wonder if it was those two

guys, who turned up the other night, who somehow got hold of that letter and then disposed of itASAP", unless this friend of yours grasses on us.


32/39

Percy: if they never find it how are they gonna help the Lord?

Percy: look, let's just *grabs Carter and drags him down a corridor* hide it somewhere down here

Wilkas Carter: Sure, why not? *Starts looking for hiding places*

Wilkas Carter: *Goes into a side room* Hey, I reckon we could reach his window from here, put it inthat way?

DM: *A guard notices you acting strange*

DM: OI!

Percy: *turns* hello?

DM: What are you clowns up to?

Percy: *look at Carter* getting away from the crowds.

DM: You what?

DM: *He's very unimpressed by your story...*

Wilkas Carter: Yeah, we got a bit freaked out by everything going on.. I have a very nervousdisposition.

Percy: i mean, we didn't want to get in your way while you were trying to work out what happened

DM: Well then, you might be in the wrong line of work.DM: Well get out of here!

Percy: sure, no problem, *grabs Carter* don't mind him, he's an idiot

DM: You're not much better.

Wilkas Carter: Sure, sure, I'll think about your recommendation sir! *Grins stupidly and stumbles abit as they leave*

Percy: *walks very quickly down corridor*

DM: *He goes back to his post outside the door*

Percy: oh brilliant!

Wilkas Carter: Yeah, that's not going to happen. Plan B for Body then?

DM: *You head back to the main hall, the guild master's body is surrounded by guards*

Percy: plan C for Crap then?

Percy: how about outside? it could have dropped out of his pocket during his rounds


33/39

Wilkas Carter: Yeah, do you know the back way out? Is there an exit through the kitchens orsomething?

Percy: Kitchens! Come on, this way! *grabs Carter's hand and rushes to the kitchen*

Wilkas Carter: *Pushes door open* (Is there anyone in there?)

DM: *There's a cook*

Percy: come on, get some of the wood for the stove

Wilkas Carter: Yeah! *Runs slightly too fast to the wood pile*

Wilkas Carter: *knocks it over*

Percy: oh, hi *waves at cook*

DM: *Cook yells at you*

DM: GET OUT OF HERE YOU OAF, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE PLAYING AT?

Wilkas Carter: Sorry, let me pick this up for you!

Wilkas Carter: *Starts re-piling wood*

Percy: sorry, he's an idiot *helps to pick up wood*

Wilkas Carter: *Whispers* What now? This idiot's blocking our way out.

Percy: *sneaks some thin pieces of wood into shirt*

Percy: sorry again *leaves kitchen*

Wilkas Carter: *Also leaves*

Wilkas Carter: Did you have a plan for those?

Percy: *grabs a torch*

Percy: you have a good throwing arm right?

Wilkas Carter: Yeah, I can do pretty well

Percy: great *goes to corridor, and lights a stick with the torch and hands it to Carter* you said youdo distractions

Wilkas Carter: Yes, I did. Where exactly is this fire heading Percy?

Percy: down there *nods towards guards*

Wilkas Carter: What, as just a stick? Or are we talking arson here?

Percy: (i've already lit the stick)


34/39

Wilkas Carter: (Yeah he meant do you want it built into a larger fire)

Percy: *shrugs* making it up as i go *hands over another lit stick*

Wilkas Carter: Excellent, I think I can see a nice, dry tapestry that should go up like a treat..

*And lo, for the DM had corrected their plans in the interval.*

Wilkas Carter: *Throws the stick too hard, putting the fire out as it flies* I think we need to go backto basics; there are some windows that'll lead out onto the roof in the dorms right? And it's nowherenear the hall or his office so it should be clear..

Percy: Fine. Lead the way

Wilkas Carter: Okay, then. *Heads to the top floor of the dorms and finds an empty room*

Percy: You first

Wilkas Carter: Wonderful. *Opens window and starts feeling for handholds above the lintel* Got anyrope?

Percy: Umm *looks around* I think I saw a storage cupboard nearby, I ll go have a look

Wilkas Carter: I reckon this first bit'll go nice and smoothly *Now crouching on the windowsill andbeginning to move up* If we need to we can always use the bedsheet..

Percy: *goes down corridor and starts opening doors, finds a long length of rope and rushes back*

Wilkas Carter: (Yeah, very keen to get everyone else involved again :P) *Is now calling back into theroom from the roof* That you back Percy? If you throw me something I can haul you up and I reckonI can see the stupid office already!

Percy: *sticks head out of window* wow, you climb fast *hooks rope onto arm and climbs out,pulling myself up onto the roof*

Wilkas Carter: Well it wasn't as hard as it looked was it? We've got a small jump up to the roof of thehall but then we can just follow that round till we're over the office I think, you ready?

Percy: *checks rope* sure. Honestly I didn't think you were this good with climbing, which is why Iwas thinking of an indoor route

Wilkas Carter: Yeah, I more used to trees if I'm honest but it seems to be working so lets not jinx it..Any idea how we're going to open the window to drop this stupid letter?

Percy: *taps dagger* ill think of something, come on we need to get there first

Wilkas Carter: Right you are! *Runs across the roof to do a long jump up onto the edge of the hall'sroof* (Trying to keep it quick, might be rushing a bit..)

Percy: *crosses rope over body and does a run up, grabbing the edge of the halls roof and pullingmyself up* there we go


35/39

Wilkas Carter: *Peering down at lower roofs* Is it this way to get over the office?

Percy: I don't know I was following you

Wilkas Carter: Let's hope we're lucky then, I really don't fancy hanging around up here.. Ladies first?

Percy: Careful with that, especially when were here *takes a step back, then runs and jumps, rollingonto the lower roof*

Wilkas Carter: Why, gonna push me off? *Lowers himself over the edge of the roof an pushes off Prince of Persia style*

Percy: Don't tempt me, show off *looks over edge and takes rope off body* I think the office is downhere

Wilkas Carter: Right, give me one end of that and tie it tight round yourself; I'll lower you and you

get rid of that bloody thing! *Holds his hand out*

Percy: *hands over one end if the rope and ties other end around my waist* please don't drop me*stands at edge of the roof*

Wilkas Carter: There's no way in hell I'm dropping you till you've got rid of that evil bit of parchment!*sits down and braces himself against the roof tiles* Just don't be too sudden about going down..

Percy: Wish me luck *grabs rope and jumps backwards. My feet and knees skid against the stonebefore I straighten my legs and absent down the side of the building to the first window*

Wilkas Carter: Ooof! Do you see the office?

Percy: Hold on...yes! Oh (in case Pete wants to add something)

Percy: Thats beautiful! Carter you should see some of the stuff he's got in here

Wilkas Carter: Anything you think they won't miss? Wait that's how we ended up here.. As soon asyou've got it in there, I'll lower you to the ground; we split up for a while and make sure no one getsany smart ideas about this whole mess, alright?

Percy: Fine, but seriously, you should see the bow *draws dagger and uses it to slit open window

lock. Opens window and jumps into room. Throws letter onto desk and climbs onto window to leave,grabbing a couple of white bone daggers and a money pouch in the way, closing window on my wayout* ok, done. You sure I shouldn't come up?

Wilkas Carter: Well I'm going to have to come back for it! Are there any other windows between youand the floor? If not then it'd be a hell of a lot easier on my arms..

Percy: *looks down* a couple, I ll find an empty room and cut myself loose *tugs on rope for leewayand climbs down to a middle window, which is empty. Opens window and jumps in, cutting rope andshutting window. Removes rope belt and sneaks outside and in a corridor*

Wilkas Carter: *Feels the rope go slack, pulls it up and leaves the roof the way he came up mutteringabout how awesome he is, sets up camp in the empty room they left from to sleep*


36/39

Arc Corona: *knocking furiously on the door* HELLO? I WAS TOLD TO COME HERE! *mutters* Poorturnout if this is the place...HELLO? IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED IN HIRING THE BEST DAMNSWORDSMAN...ah forget it.

Elihanna Swordhand: *opens door* Hello?

Arc Corona: About bloody time! What happened - no, nevermind, I'm here to see the guildmaster. Ithink he's going to be interested in my services. Can you take me to him?

Elihanna Swordhand: *raises eyebrow and steps aside* Be my guest-can I ask who I'm letting inhere?

My name is Archae- Arc. I'm an ex-soldier, mercenary, man-of-fortune and I'm currently freezing myarse off. They told me it was cold in the north - I didn't think we were that far north. Anyway I needto see the guildmaster. I didn't walk this far for nothing!

Nice to meet you Arc, I'm Elihanna Swordhand, Cleric. You'll get used to the cold.. The stew helps too

So...any special reason you need to see the guildmaster?

Arc Corona: Ah, don't mind my manners, it's a pleasure to meet you too. No special reason inparticular - only I was on my way here to join this guild. If that's not convenient, I wouldn't say no toa few minutes by the fire.

Elihanna Swordhand: *smiles* no offence taken and I think we could get some food by the fire if youwant to warm up? I have no idea where everyone has disappeared to..

Arc Corona: That sounds...thank you. But I wasn't expecting the warmest of welcomes anyway.

Arc Corona: *steps into entrance hall*

Percy: *walks in from down a corridor* Elli! God am I glad to see a sensible person, who's yourfriend?

Arc Corona: Arc Corona - something I should know about?

Elihanna Swordhand: Percy! I was starting to think that everyone had run off..

Percy: Umm...I don't know...I'm Percy *offers hand* you joining the guild? Or just visiting?

Arc Corona: Joining...I think. Who's run off, and why?

Percy: Everyone dotted around, I think they're keeping quiet after what happened

Arc Corona: For the love of - WHAT HAPPENED?

Elihanna Swordhand: What? What happened?! Is everyone okay?

Percy: You don't know?

Elihanna Swordhand: I've been..busy...


37/39

Arc Corona: *mutters* knew this guild business was too much of a long shot...no good comes out of the north... Please. Enlighten me. What catastrophe has occured?

Percy: The guildmasters dead. This weird soldiers in black killed him. A few of us took them out andwhen we did they turned into ash. And the really weird part? They used old weapons, like the war

old weapons

Arc Corona: Dead? Arse. There goes my job. Wait - turned to ash?

Percy: What the he'll have you been busy with to miss that memo?

Arc Corona: Turned to ash? That's a natural sort of thing to happen round here?

Elihanna Swordhand: Turned to ash? Wait- the guildmaster's dead? And I was busy..thats all *looksshifty*

Percy: Yeah, he looked like a porcupine before we noticed them. They were all pale and dressed inblack, oh and there was this big one that had patches of skin stitched on him from other bodies. It isnot right for a cleric to look shifty like that

Elihanna Swordhand: Oh shit...This does not sound good.. And I was not looking shifty! We havemore important things to worry about here Percy!

Arc Corona: You know something? Forget the stew and the fire. I think I'll walk home...What do youmean, 'patches of skin'? Are we talking undead here?

Elihanna Swordhand: Sounds undead-like, yeah. Arc- it sounds like we may need some muscle

around here if this sort of thing is happening.. Stay?

Elihanna Swordhand: *smiles sweetly*

Percy: No clue, I'm not paid to know stuff like that. But my gut instinct says something evil is coming.

Arc Corona: Now how could I say no to that? Oh, wait. Very easily.

Percy: we're gonna need all the we can get. You said you're a soldier right?

Arc Corona: Ex-soldier...and fine. It's against my nature to walk out on a fight. Or a lady.

Elihanna Swordhand: Well repelling undead and evil stuff is kinda my thing.. And this place beatswandering around the North forever-believe me.

Percy: The little ones would be no match for you I'd reckon, it's the big ones we're gonna need towatch out for.

Elihanna Swordhand: *grins* I'd love to give it a shot though

Percy: We might have to as well *looks around* if I warn you about something swear you won t getme in trouble?

Arc Corona: From the sound of it we're already in trouble...


38/39

Elihanna Swordhand: My lips are sealed-though Arc has a point

Elihanna Swordhand: So..whats the big secret Percy?

Percy: Ok, Ellis remember that letter me and lin absolutely did not have? Well it was the

guildmasters, from the lord. The big one. He said there's an evil in his land his guard cant defeat, hewas asking for help from the guildmaster

Arc Corona: 'Evil in the land some big lord cannot defeat'? Yeah, that definitely sounds horrible.

Percy: Not some big lord. The big Lord.

Elihanna Swordhand: *sigh* sounds like more travelling and less comfy beds... and a big evil-soundsfun

Arc Corona: As in Lord Mordar Alenstrov? Oh. Even better. Now wait one minute. Travelling? I only

just got here! Unless, of course, you're suspecting undead or other nasties to still be here. In thatcase I'm ready to go. Ready...and freezing...

Elihanna Swordhand: Couldn't agree more Arc. Though I guess "big evil" means cleric duties wouldhave hauled me away at some point. So-who else is going?

Percy: Wait, you can't just volunteer, that means you have to know what the letter says! Whichmeans it must have been stolen from the guildmaster!

Arc Corona: ...And that's an issue how? Isn't your guildmaster dead? And I don't see anyone elsehere to complain.

Elihanna Swordhand: Or we could say he gave it to us? By the time it s all worked out, we'll be off anyways

Plus I don't think my god would be too pleased if I just sat here and ate stew while there's evilrunning around and I kinda like being a cleric

Percy: Irrelevant. I'm losing my head over something that wasn't even my fault

Arc Corona: ...So three of us against something the lord high-and-mighty Alenstrov can't deal with.And I thought they were all out of impossible odds.

Percy: Do I really have to go?

Elihanna Swordhand: I could see if Lin wants to come too..

Percy: *sighs* fine fine. If I have to, I know one or two other people that could help.

Elihanna Swordhand: *chuckles* Thought that might tempt you.. We should probably get a fewmore people though

Arc Corona: I second that motion.

Percy: Well we can use the monk as a shield, that varak looks tough too. There's this ponce calledthe silver blade who might be useful. And an old mate of mine, goes by the name of Carter.


39/39

Arc Corona: Northerners?

Percy: Varak and lin are, not sure about the others

Arc Corona: Ah. That might be a little...problematic.

Percy: They're both nice enough, whats the problem? Xx

Percy: (don't know why I put the kisses on there, I'm on my phone, it's automatic)

Arc Corona: Nothing at all, no reason to worry. Thinking out loud. Do that sometimes. (and the kisseswere sweet!)

Elihanna Swordhand: Sounds like a good idea. And no one cares much about background here, don'tworry

Percy: I don't like that

Arc Corona: ...The thinking out loud or the idea of a problem? Everybody's got secrets, you know.Mine just happen to be...bloodier.

Percy: I mean, I like that no one cares about background, I don't like him being all...secretive. Thatseems to be a common one round here.

Arc Corona: I ain't about to murder you in your sleep. Either of you. Unless you carry on like that, of course.

Elihanna Swordhand: Let the man have his secrets.. I'm sure there's stuff you wouldn't tell us Percy

Percy: I'll shut up

Percy: In fact, I'll go find carter and tell him weve been recruited into a crazy-ass mission

Arc Corona: Sounds good to me.

Elihanna Swordhand: Oh great, I guess I have to find the Brother and Silver Blade then? Joy..
