"The three mages here don't, (That would be myself, Johansen and Lord Alteran.) we can just make the damaged wood grow back into what it was. We can also strengthen it. The rest of us, however, have little more magical talent than you do." | ||||
I guess they can't sense the energy...that is good. The less they know about me, the better, at least until I know I can trust them... "I shall help them then..." *Septim walks off and starts replacing broken boards. | ||||
*The 'Blue Ray' had been damaged terribly. There was a giant gaping hole in it's deck. It would have to been striped of it's current one, and be replaced with a new one. Depending on the amount of helpers it would take a week, minimum.* "Hmmm....Doesn't look good the whole decks gonna need to be replaced, Kon go inform Lord Ragnarr that it will take a week minimum." *With that Kon rushed away, to relay the message. Leaving Seloc there staring a the giant hole. Reluctently Seloc turned away to gather his crew and make preparations for the new deck.* | ||||
VII. The Forest's Secret
| ||||
Septim was one of the people who stayed behind. He hammered a nail in and smashed his finger. "YOWCH!!!" *Septim sucks on it for a bit and gets back to work | ||||
Verll was also one of those who stayed behind. But he was sewing together the holes in the sails. He looked at Septim smashing his finger in, and had to laugh a bit, but while he was laughing he managed to pierce himself with the needle so hard that it almost went right through his finger. | ||||
*Seloc and the 8 others had gone ashore to collect wood. The forest was dense, and silent. The labourers filling the forest with there grunts and curses. Seloc took his hachet and swung, it hit the wood with a dull thud, pierceing the bark and resting in the softer inner layer. Pulling the axe free Seloc swung again.* | ||||
Having studied the hole in the Blue Ray, Erunion knew what he needed. Walking forward, he chose an oak. With a mighty cra*beep* uprooted itself, than the layer of bark peeled off, with the wood slowly widening and changing shape. Eventually, the wood was the size and shape of the hole. Keeping it elevated beside himself, Erunion walked towards Seloc. | ||||
Ragnarr showed up at sunset, coming out of the woods to the lumber camp. The men had gathered a good deal of wood, as tomorow they would carve and form it to the elements and parts they needed for the ships. Yet the northman didn't notice that. As he approached them, they could see his armour had fresh blood stains on it. | ||||
Walking forward with the piece of wood, Erunion saw a bloodstained Ragnarr. "Blood and ashes! What happened! Johansen! Alteran! Toreanan! Gather everybody in! Take all that you can, we may have to leave for the ships!" | ||||
"Erunion I understand your want to help out but please, a ship is like a mother to it's crew, if it gets hurt for it's crew, the crew have to make it better. The crew would take it as an insult if anyone were to repair the 'Blue Ray' that is not of the ship." *Seloc nodded glumly, at Ragnarr's orders.* "All crew members of the 'Blue Ray', return to ship." *Seloc did an about swirl and set of for the boats, climbing in he awaited the rest of his crew. Only seven turned up, the eigth presumably dead. Having loaded the crew aboard, Seloc doubled checked the wood was safe, and away from any giant infestation of bugs, thats could slow down work on the ship, then gave the order for the rowing to comence. The two boats of the 'Blue Ray' made their way slowly back to the mother-ship.* | ||||
Night came. The boats rowed slowly towards their ships on the silent water, reflecting lights from the ships and the distant stars above. Ragnarr had always heard of strange happenings on this island. It was vast and plentyful on trees and fertile lands, yet when ever someone came to set up a colony, no one heard of him again. Once, a sea captain Ironfounderson had passed by the shore to gather supplies for his way home. Yet when he came back he was mad from terror, his crew was halved and dying from strange wounds and disseases. Maybe it was a foolish thing to do to come and repair the ships on the shore of Kurthyle Island, but it was either that or with damaged ships in the raging sea, which was maddness. | ||||
(OOC) Aren't I like the watch? Should I be on watch all night? | ||||
"Dark elves! The heathens! Blood and ashes, pirates are more than enough. I'll keep my men on guard all night. They'll be able to see in the dark with a simple spell. Keep your men ready at arms. If there is a fight tonight, we will need every hand, and all of them armed." | ||||
[Verll]::[ No, not really. Watches stand on the bow at day and report everythng they see, such as coming ships and storms and stuff. As at night, several watches (from several men) one after the other, each (watch) at post for three hours is more practical, as they get to sleep after all, and more men are guarding. ] | ||||
{OOC}Ok, thanks. | ||||
| ||||
Verll has
always been handy with a knife and sat toying with one when he heard | ||||
*The creatures leapt up onto the deck, two stumbled and fell as they obviously expected a solid deck, a third fell directly through the opening in the ship to land beside the rowing decks. Men were rising from their so called slumbers, with weapons out ready to engage the enemy. "What do yo........*cough**splutter*" | ||||
The Naergothrendarins were fully awake when the attack came. Unfortunately, the Dark Elves had somehow managed to get through the alarm ward without being sensed. | ||||
Septim stood locked in combat with two dark elves. They struck fast and Septim fought hard to keep them at bay until one of them let his guard down and Septim slashed his throat. Septim then turned his attention towards the other one, the Dark Elf slashed at Septim's head with his blade and Septim ducked, Septim took the opportunity to knock the Dark Elf's legs out from under him. Septim rose and held the sword to the Dark Elf's throat, he stabbed the sword in and blood came out. Septim turned to see three Dark Elf archers aiming at him, so Septim quickly grabbed the dead Elf's body and used it as a shield, he then held it in front of him as he made his way to cover. | ||||
| ||||
{OOC: Give credit where credit is due, it's Johansen's spell... :P} | ||||
*Seloc was being dragged to the back of his ship by friendly hands. There had been no other dissasterous events such as Seloc's to other members of the crew as far as he could being half awake and sprouting blood isn't exactly the best way to gather information. looks like I'm not the only other injured member, there one other at least* | ||||
Septim suddenly jumped from behind cover and cut a Dark Elf in half. Ten other elves surrounded him and Septim took off his glove. He aimed it high and said "Loresin Firene!" and a fountain of flame erupted from his hand and killed the ten surrounding him. Septim put his glove back on and charged a Dark Elf that was just out of range of the fire, Septim cut his head off. | ||||
{As an FYI, My guys (Except for Fintar and the now dead Frelan) Are not from this world, and use a different type of magic. Therefore, we cannot be sensed (our mages create a warding around themselves to make it seem like they can be sensed when they don't want to confuse the poor locals) and we cannot sense you either...} | ||||
Verll manages to turn himself in such a way that they sword only leaves a shallow wound on his left shoulder. He rolls to the left and jumps up, killing one elf by slicing up his throat and then he dodges a blow to his side. He takes a step back and in a blink of an eye, he have threw the knives and killed two elves, and managed to draw the ones in his booths, to parry a stab at his belly and dodge a stab to his right. He tricks his way around the first elf and stab him in the back, then he only stands one to one with a dark elf wielding a couples of daggers, Verll throws the knife at him, but the elf dodges and the knife hits a another dark elf in the back. Verll draws the knife from the sheath behind his neck and starts to attack the dark elf. They both dodge each other’s blows, the dark elf a bit faster than Verll, but not as good with the daggers. Verll finally manages to get in a blow to the elf’s heart and kill him. He notices Erunion lying there, fainted. A dark elf is moving up to finish him. Verll throws the knife and it goes right in through the eye of the dark elf. Verll runs over to Erunion, grabbing hold of him and manage to pull him away from the battle, but are followed by two dark elves. He have to release Erunion to go battle the elves. He attack them with so fiercely that they gets surprised. He kills one of them and slices open the belly on the second. He have to leave Erunion to get back to the battle, so they had a better chance for surviving. | ||||
"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING ON THE BLUE RAY?" yelled Ragnarr between to slashes. | ||||
Verll slices open the throat to the last elf, and sprints to an oar and started rowing. | ||||
The longship gained speed across the low waves quickly. They men were rowing with their whole force and will to help their brothers on the Blue Ray. The Stormborn lightly passed the small distance in what seemed a moment of a second and stopped steadily by the other ships board, the two of them being parallel, leaving only a meter in between. | ||||
Verll leaps over the small patch of sea and attacks the dark elves. He dodges and parries most, and when he have the chance a stab or slice that will always end in death. | ||||
*A group of 10 sailors cluching there weapons, had surrounded Seloc's body and the bodies of the other fallen solider. Gamely they held their position, lunging and slashing their enemies. This was happening everywhere around the ship, infact seven sailors had managed to cut away the resistance and were holding the starboard side of the ship. Stopping the dark eleves in the forest from helping their comraides on the ship, not that they needed help.* | ||||
"Attack! Odinn is on our side!" yelled Ragnarr just before landing on the Blue Ray's deck. Almost at that instant and arrow passed bu his head, missing with an absurdly small distance from his face. The northman slashed the dark elven archer's chest, leaving the black creature to die on the bloody deck. | ||||
*Septim slashed in an arc, cutting off an elf's head and legs, Septim then snatched the fallen elf's blade just in time to block two blows. He pushed his blades forward and the elves fell back, Septim then stabbed both of his blades into the fallen elves. An arrow flew into Septim's leg, piercing his leg, and then a sword came upon his back, creating a long deep gash. Septim roared like a wounded dragon and turned, slashing down his attacker. He then ran at the archer and jumped in the air, he brought his blade down upon the elf and sliced him in half down the center. Septim turned towards a large group and ran into them, he blocked two blows and returned them with a stab, he then swung around and chopped three elves in half, he turned and almost killed a northman, but stopped his blade in time and turned to an elf. "You're lucky!", yelled Septim as he jabbed his blade into an elf's neck. Northman: "Sorry sir!" Septim kicked an elf over the side of the ship and roared. He then realized that he had killed the last elf, they had won. | ||||
*A very worried looking Kon, ran across the deck of the 'Blue Ray' in a very reckless fashion. He bumped into Septim accidently knocking him overboard, the sailor hesitated a moment but contiuned his dash, pulling up in front of lord Ragnarr.* [OOC: Sorry Septim couldn't resist.] | ||||
*Septim was about to stab his sword into the ship when a rope was lowered, he climbed up it quickly and jumped over. | ||||
Verll gets hold of the closest rope and throws it to Septim who is muttering curses and freezing in the cold water. | ||||
[OOC]Lol Can I delete my own posts? | ||||
Ragnarr was exhausted. He realized how many wounds he had. Two arrows were stuck in his leg, his face had a bleeding scar, sword and axe gashes marked his shoulders and chest. He cleaned his sword in some cloth near by and placed it back in its sheath. He headed slowly after Kon to see what had become of Seloc. | ||||
Laughing, Lord Alteran said to Ragnarr; "We are cousins, but we don't look that much alike! Some Dark Elf sorcerer has a few of our men unconscious, and the Dukes one of them. It's not life threatening, so Johansen here is healing what is lethal. Look, he's going to Seloc now. The rest of us will just keep the men alive long enough for Johansen to get to them." Poor Johansen's going to be exhausted... | ||||
*The elf walked up to Septim, but Septim looked up. "I'll take care of them...they aren't that bad! Take care of the mortally wounded!" *Septim then grabbed a large case and pulled out a pair of pliers and a saw. He cutt the feathered end of the arrow off and then grabbed onto the other end, he pulled it out and quickly poured a clear liquid into it, afterwards he treated the arrow wound and wrapped a cloth around it. He then muttered a few words and the needle and string started sewing up his back, after it was done Septim rose. "That didn't feel good..." *Septim examines the damage and returns to Ragnarr. "Well, there are around ten of our own dead, meaning we will have to hire more in the next town. There are also a few holes in the hull that'll need fixing." | ||||
[ I'll be gone for 24 hours so you lads feel free. Septim, your takin' my place as game master. When I get back I'll PM you. While I'm gone presume I had too many wounds or something.. ] | ||||
Jonny, who had played no big part in the battle, havin been jumped upon by the first three dark elves that boarded the ship, came too, having been revived by one of the elven healers. "Thanks bro. I really needed to get some life back into these limbs, eh!" He started to laugh and walked towards the main point of focs, somewhere around Septim and Ragnarr. [OOC:Sorry I was out Boyz, I thought I messaged ya ragnarr, I guess not] | ||||
[Fine, I'm back. This thread doesn't seem very active, yet I shall continue it anyway. ] | ||||
Erunion was worried. What had that sorcerer been doing? He could have killed dozens of men and elves, yet he just used that strange ball of darkness. He must have needed to capture someone alive. He could just have been after a sacrifice to make unto the dark one. How many names for that have I seen in different worlds? Hundreds, I'm sure. But that wasn't it. I don't think he was just after a few people to sacrifice. When I was out like that, I didn't have even the limited consciousness of my mind that I usually do when I am sleeping. I was dead to the world, my mind shut down and my soul dormant. With that, he could have searched my brain to his hearts content. Searched all our brains. | ||||
{OOC: You are the driving force behind this very entertaining RP. Without you, nothing happens...} | ||||
[OOC: I must agree with Erunion here, your needed. Although I must say I'm still half dead.....] *Seloc spurted up another mouthful of blood over the side, it mixed with the violent waves as soon as it landed. A small fin appeared out of the water where the blood had been a moment earlier, Seloc blinked and rubbed his eyes. It was gone. Damn I hate elves. Earlier on that blasted elf from the 'Siren's Call' came to him to 'try to heal him'. Seloc was having none of his blastphamous gibberish and sent him off with the starp end of a sword. What was his name again?.......Johensea...or..Johensan....Johansen! * "Kon get that rope ready looks like we're in for a bad night, Finre! dam you get me some more wine! and fetch DOC these bandages are getting bloody and unconfortable!" *As he was shouting it he knew it was a bad idea, the exsertion caused him to cough up yet more blood. It dripped down the side of the 'Blue Ray', curiously there wasn't anymore mysterious fins.* | ||||
As Jonny walked around the deck with Veryll and Kormac, they heard the shouts Seloc was giving to the rest of the crew on the Blue Ray. "Good old Seloc. There may be something wrong with him, but dam him, he wants to get his ship up to speed, instead of gettin himself helped out." Jonny and Kormac continued to patroll, as Veryll went the other way, to see how the captain was doing. Just then, they heard Seloc sputter up some more blood, and kormac went to see if he was alright. Darius walked up to his old friend, and told him what he had heard and seen. "Sir, we have a problem. You remember the poweful amulet thing. And the mage last night, the evil one? Well, he found out about it, and I think they're after it. Its going to make a real problem for everyone if they do. This isn't about Ragnarr and his friend anymore, we're going to have to try and save the whole blasted world." With that, Darius walked away, his report complete, not even giving Jonny a chance to thank him. It was going to be a crazy night at sea, agian! [OOC:They are right Ragnarr, you control it, your the one making this RP work, we all just kind of sit around and say stuff. We need ya, eh!] | ||||
[[OOC: Dang! Well...I must say that it is sort of inconveniant that I am leaving for five days in about fifteen minutes, although I will try to get on as much as possible between now and Sunday]] "The amulet? I thought so, we will need to guard it in shifts then, seeing as we are the only ones who know about it..." | ||||
Verll was standing right next to Johnny when Darius told him about the amulet and saving the world. Verll did not know what this amulet thing was, but he knew what saving the world was and he remembered well those Dark Elves. Verll walked up to the bow and decided to hold extra good watch tonight. Standing there he, he checked his knifes were okey, and ready to be used at any second he might need it. | ||||
