The Stormborn

The Stormborn
14:26:45 Nov 7th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II: [[OOC: I will now introduce the third item, but they will all come into play in the middle of the biggest battle...]] "I shall talk later...", said Erunion as he walked off, Septim walked over to the edge of the ship and saw a small bird fly up to the edge, the bird had a sack tied to it's leg, Septim took the sack off and looked at what was inside. It was a gold ring with a blue gem. Septim tests it for magic and puts it on, nothing happens. "Hmmmm..."
15:37:51 Nov 7th 07 - Mr. Might: Might came back to the ship with a cart load of assorted weapons carried by the two sailors. He walks up to one of the sailors. "Why is everyone hurt? Did I miss some kind of battle?"
15:57:34 Nov 7th 07 - Lord Seloc: Seloc is still fast asleep on the 'Blue Ray' [Too lazy to write anymore.]
15:58:39 Nov 7th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II: [[OOC: I felt that way too, now I am not too lazy anymore!]]
16:51:48 Nov 7th 07 - Mr. Might: [Ew! nothing happened with me! I thought someone was gonna play me while I was gone.]
16:52:47 Nov 7th 07 - Mr. Revenge: ok?>?>?
21:33:30 Nov 7th 07 - Lord Ragnarr The Wolf: XI. Silent Night, Night of Flames Midnight. This time most of the crew was onboard the longships, either sleeping or at post. It was expected to be a normal night, with everybody at their work and Ragnarr silent at the deck, looking at the stars. An arrow made a sudden journey from a dark unseen shade to the ship's deck. It was flaming. The arrow was followed by another five. They were followed by another four. Olaf and Jens jumped first to their feet to grab some buckets to extinguish the flames. Suddenly everyone on the longship was moving, running, searching for a bucket, or filling it from the sea, or throwing sea water on the fire. It couldn't spread quickly, since the deck was moisty from the long years of sailing. Yet there were ropes near by and suddenly the fire was devouring the mast. Ragnarr was on his feet at once. "Get your hands on a bucket!" he had one in his hands already. There was sudden chaos on the deck...
21:43:33 Nov 7th 07 - Lord Seloc: Seloc was awoken abruptly by Finre. Finre:"Captain!! the 'Stormborn's' under attack, there's fire everywhere." Seloc:"What!? fire?" Seloc jumped up, and ran for the railings. He could see the near to flaming mast of the 'Stormborn'* and sprug into action immediatly.* Seloc:"Kon see that everything flammable is moved below deck, Finre you put out any fires aboard the 'Blue Ray'." Kon: "Right Captain." Finre: "On it." Even as Seloc said it, the flaming trail of fire arrows swept up and landed upon the deck. Seloc motioned the nearest five men to follow him and he jumped of the ship and went in search of the source of the arrows.
22:18:18 Nov 7th 07 - Mr. Might: Might follows Seloc with his sword.
22:22:56 Nov 7th 07 - Lord Seloc: [lol forgot you were on my ship, my bad 0.o]
23:32:03 Nov 7th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II: Septim turns to see the fire. "Ragnarr will lead, I must seek the archers!" Septim runs over to a crate and pulls out a bow and quiver, he runs to the edge of the deck and sees a small flame, he readies an arrow, aims, and lets go of the string. The arrow zooms into the night and far away the light lowers. "Got one..." *Septim readies himself for more.
17:35:28 Nov 8th 07 - Lord Ragnarr The Wolf: Ragnarr's eyes dulled from the fire, yet he still spotted the shades running from the Blue Ray and his own longship. He emptied the bucket from the water with a mighty thrust. Moments later the veteran crew was slowly reducing the flames, which had stopped licking the mast. Only small fires, spread on the deck remained and the crew quickly acted against them. No great damage was done, since the flow of enemy arrows was not constant, as the ambushers were spotted immediatly,... Ragnarr threw the bucket on the deck and grabbed his sword hilt. "Lord Bacardi, Verll, garb weapons and come with me. Erunion, you're coming as well. Thoren, finish off the task,..." He ran down the boarding plank and followed Prince Septim, who was searching a good position for a shot. "Come, we're going to finish this even if we have to follow them to hell,..." "That is probably where they want us,..." Septim grinned. Ragnarr, followed by his closest battle commrades, ran after Lord Seloc, who was cutting down an ambusher,...
18:06:07 Nov 8th 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar: "As you wish Lord Ragnarr! Alteran, Toreanan, Johansen, stay and defend the ship. I go with Ragnarr." Loping along beside Ragnarr, he asked; "Can't you run any faster? Let's show these scum what they are dealing with!" A bright light emerged in the air, seemingly coming from each of them, so bright as to temporarily blind any one who looked at them. "This will keep the archers from having a good target, as soon as we go somewhere with less lamps, just say 'Hendal' and the light will go off." {OOC: Sorry, I was away all day yesterday...}
18:33:18 Nov 8th 07 - Sir Verll: Verll grabbed sword and ran after Ragnarr. He was not as good with this weapon as he was with the daggers, but he was not bad either. He cut down a man which ran in his way and blocked a swing from a big sized man. Verll quickly stabbed the man in his belly and ran after Ragnarr
19:01:19 Nov 8th 07 - Lord Seloc: Seloc and his small group had stumbled upon the ambushers. It was a squad of around fifty archers, they were lightly equiped and not suited to close range combat. Seloc: "Charge them!" As the small group ran forward, past where Seloc stood examing the enemy, he was suprised to see you new guy....Might rush past, dagger in hand. In the usual excitment of coming to port Seloc had forgotten all about him. Enemy Commander: "Our jobs done retreat!" Seloc: "O no you don't.." Seloc ran forward and started laying into the mob, saber in hand. He dodged a swing as one of the archers swung their dirk at him, then he brought his sword up in an arch running from toes to chest, and left a gaping hole in the man.
20:42:48 Nov 8th 07 - Lord Ragnarr The Wolf: "Loose!" a bark-like shout came from the ambushers' commander. Ragnarr, Seloc, Septim, Bacardi, Erunion, Verll and Might, as well as other northmen, sailers and warriors had cornered the men in black silks and light armor in a small market square with only narrow streets to run in to. They had no chance, but they were speedy and quick, swift in their jumps, and half had already escaped through the narrow alleys. They were slipping away. A few arrows fell around Ragnarr, who spinned and made high cut, taking a man's chin and neck. Then he made a hack in another's chest from the side. "Don't bloody let them escape, damn it!" He rushed into the alley where most were escaping from and slashed an ambusher's hand off, after which he kicked him out of the way and started following the raiders through the narrow streets heading east,... [ We are going to chase the ambushers to their "nest". It is going to be a long night of city persuit through narrow alleys, streets and stairs,... ]
21:04:13 Nov 8th 07 - Lord Seloc: [Ok I'll meat you at the "nest"] Seloc: "Get them!" Seloc charged, and he was the first one down the narrow alley followed by Might. The alley opened up into a fork of a street, at which the raiders were heading different ways, Seloc ran after the nearest raider, he was short and had dropped his bow and quiver back the way, he now only had a dagger swinged from his left side. Seloc thundered after him, still being followed by Might. Might: "Sir we've left the others behind!" Seloc: "Don't worry they can take care of themseleves." Might: "It wasn't them I'm worried about....." But Seloc was no longer listening as he leapt onto a wall and heaved himself up, and launched himself at the roof the house next to the wall. To contiune the pursuit. Might followed his lead.
23:21:20 Nov 8th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II: Septim remembered his elite training, for he was once one of the strongest, fastest, and deadliest soldiers in the old Empire, yet these enemies were also swift, yet Septim doubted their strength.
00:12:34 Nov 9th 07 - Lord Jonny Bacardi The Ruined Son: Jonny followed a few of the black robed assassins down an alley. It was narrow, and dark, but Jonny could make out their shapes anyways. There was three of em, and they all ran like the wind. Good thing Jonny had been running all his life. The men where silent, no sound escaped from the three men running up front, or the seaman who was stalking them from behind. They slowed down a bit, as the reached a low roof. They easily jumped on top of it, and made their wat up the side of the house. Jonny followed. They jumped from roof to roof for a good fifteen minutes, never once noticing they where being pursued. It wasn't long before they got back to street level, where they met up with another, much bigger group of black robes. They started walking easily, with Jonny following a good hundred meters or so behind. Everyonce in a while one would lag back. Once, jonny actually ran into one of the balck figures, but before the man could make a sound, Jonny had extended his sword through the mans stomach, instantly killing him. It was going to be a long night of traversing around the streets. then, the group stopped.
14:08:22 Nov 9th 07 - Lord Ragnarr The Wolf: The black cloaks split up, and so did they. Ragnarr was followed only by Eyjolf and Kormac - the rest had taken different routs. Lord Bacardi was persuing the ambusgers through alley parallel to this one further north. Prince Septim, Sir Verll and Erunion had taken a route further south of this one and Seloc was somewhere ahead with his warriors. Yet it was obvious in the end they would meet up in one place, and that place was the snakes' nest. Ahead of Ragnarr ran about fifteen black robes, of which three turned round in a sudden swift move. Ragnarr was expecting that and stabbed his way through one of them. The other two were cut down by Eyjolf and Kormac. They followed them through a narrow street. Ragnarr jumped over a few barrels the men ahead pushed in the way in haste. Then they turned right and climbed up some stairs and continued running and jumping from balcony to roof to column. Ragnarr followed closely. Then the men ahead entered were back on the street. Through yards, buildings, alleys, shadows, bridges, among columns,...the persuit was close and long, until the ambushers met up with some others. When they looked back, they saw darkness. In the shadows, Ragnarr, Eyjolf and Kormac were hiding, unseen to the black robes, who continued forward, slowly, tired from the long run. Further ahead, a large group of balck robes was walking ahead, quietly. "Ragnarr,.." a quite voice said. Lord Bacardi was behind him. "They gathered here. There guild is somewhere near." he said,.. And he was right,...
17:32:21 Nov 9th 07 - Lord Seloc: Seloc watched the figure slide down between the buildings. Leaning to his left Seloc used his momentum to slide down the slope of the roof on his side. He landed heavily on the ground of the alley, slumping abit from the impact. Might landed beside him, alot more gracefully than Seloc. They contiuned the chase as the fluttering of a black robe was seen flailing round the corner, but as they turned the corner a large group of the black robes was in front of them. Seloc halted abruptly and Might rammed into his back, Seloc then forced then both back into the alley way as fast as he could. Might: "Oww cra-" Seloc: "SHH!" Might: "p......" Seloc and Might listened intently, but there was no uproar, evidenly the raiders haden't seen them, and the raider that got away haden't told them. Might: "Sir look." Might had strode out into the open, and was pointing to where the raiders were moments ago. Seloc joined him, and to his suprise the raiders had vanished, and there on the road was Ragnarr and his group approching staring at a door on the building to their left. Seloc and Might jogged over to join them breathing heavily. Seloc: "Where'd they go?"
18:08:45 Nov 9th 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar: Damn this one's a good runner. Erunion was sprinting down the street. This one was probably the best human runner he'd ever seen, so it was going to take a while to catch up. Septim and the others were lagging a hundred or so meters behind, this chase had been going on for a while. Just lead me to the vipers nest... Turning a corner, Erunion saw his query, stopped unmoving. Ahead were Ragnarr, Seloc and the rest. Erunion wrapped the man in solidified air. "Thank you, you've done very well in leading me here." Turning towards the main group, he spoke; "Ragnarr, what should we do with him? I'm certain that head of his has at least some useful knowledge..."
21:58:24 Nov 9th 07 - Lord Ragnarr The Wolf: Ragnarr saw Erunion's prisoner. "How many of you wretches are in there?" No answer, only an impassive look of silence. Ragnarr pushed the black robed man who fell to the cobblestone street. "He won't say a thing. Tie him up and throw him in some dark alley or something,..." Ragnarr looked around. Everyone was there, with their weapons ready in their hands. Some of Seloc's warriors quickly tied the man up and threw him in some dark shadows, where he would not make trouble. It was amazing how the city had changed after their long run. The buildings around them were palaces - white marble stone, large red ebony or pink marble columns, entangled in vines,.. large tall exotic trees, splendid beautiful statues, marvelous fountains and wonderous gardens... The structure they were about to enter was huge. The main gate was made from iron and gold, with expensive red wood and metals. The building itself was from different sorts of marble, creating a palace of dreams. Several towers flanked the green and blue roofed central part. It seemed as if it was a guild or so,... Large eastern letters in silver were enscribed on the whole door. "Well, storms and homour, lets end this,..." said Ragnarr. He opened the door and entered the soft-litten hall...
06:06:06 Nov 13th 07 - Mr. Might: Might follows everyone in with his dagger out.
06:20:50 Nov 13th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II: *Septim holds Firengard's hilt in his hand as he walks in behind Ragnarr.
21:02:59 Nov 13th 07 - Lord Seloc: Seloc stared in awe. Seloc: "By God!" There in the middle of the room, was a dazzaling sight. The raiders they had followed were grouped in a circle, grouped tightly two deep. Four giant men stood holding chains just outside the circle equally spread out. The chains were of emmence proportion, the thickness of a mans skull at least and shining gold. The chain lead to a gathering in the middle of a circle attached to a giant gold collar. But that wasn't the most unbelievable part. The collar circled the neck of the most enormous beast Seloc had ever saw, it had a vague human like appearance, two arms, two legs, a head. Except it's skin was molten flame, rolling in a swirling mass of deep blackness. It looked like something conjured from a mine in a mountian from a film with a hobbit and a ring and a giant evil guy in...... Confusion followed awe as Seloc was asking himself where that had come from....and what a film was.... Ragnarr: "...We have to slay that, forward lads!" Septim: "Yes right....well then ummm yes..." Erunion: "I'm too young to die : (" Might: "HA ha ha ha ha.......o crap." Jonny: "Well you know what they say......just add water." Verll: "O, yes lets spit on it till it dies....."<sarcasm> <Some other people said some stuff but I forgot who else plays.> As the group stood there they were notice and the ring of raiders dispersed running for the doors at the side of the room. Gathering their wits Jonny and Might ran after the raiders but when they arrived at the doors they were all locked. The four strong men and the giant were left, and when they were sure everyone had left the strong men dropped their chains, and picked up their weapons. The beast was now free and on a rampage, it ripped one of the strong men up in seconds with its unnatural claws, then it charged for the group of onlookers. The remaining strong men ran to cut the groups exit off. Seloc: "Told you eleves bring bad luck....."
21:08:45 Nov 13th 07 - Mr. Might: Might quickly uses his dagger to try to pick the lock while Jonny watches his back. [Ragnarr its up to you if I succeed.]
21:15:45 Nov 13th 07 - Lord Ragnarr The Wolf: Ragnarr looked around as he walked ahead. The hall was all luxury and exotics - no money was spared creating this place splendid. No body awaited them. This was a trap. They all knew it. They also knew that it will all end here. Ragnarr walked up the main broad stairs ahead of them, made from ebony and bronze. They lead to a corridor, which hopefully lead to where the leader of these ambushers is. Everybody were on their highest guard. Lord Seloc, Prince Septim and Lord Bacardi had their baldes out, looking around for any potential traps or threats, walking silently after Ragnarr. Erunion was doing some spell, mummbling quietly elven words of magic, yet he also held his sword-staff firmly in his hand. Might and Sir Verll were close behind, followed by the rest of the warriors - about twenty northmen. beepstacles. No guards. They were expected, obviously... They reached high doors, casted in gold and silver, covored with a universe of gems, rubies and diamonds. Ragnarr opened it, barely slowing down his large pace. Inside waited at least a hundred or more of the black robed ambushers. They had formed a semi-circle around the doors, yet had their blades in their sheaths. In the centre, right in front of them, stood a figure. By the swarthy face, roughened by sand storms, the black-grey beard hanging from his fierce face and the impressive half-helm with chainmail hanging around the rims, one could immediatly understand thsi man was a quarbic warlord. He too was wearing black robes, with silver decorations and shiny, almost symbolic light armor. He had his sword in his sheath, hanging from his leather belt. "We can settle this matter here and now, like normal people, Stormguard,..." the man spoke. Chain-mail rattle was heard from the back. Ragnarr did not turn to see the guards, coming to block their way from behind. He entered the hall, followed slowly by Seloc, Septim, Bacardi, Erunion, Verll and Might. The other warriors preffered to stay by the doors, neither inside nor out of the hall. "What the hell are you talking about?" Ragnarr asked coldly. "I believe you have something mine,..."
21:36:12 Nov 13th 07 - Lord Seloc: [lol, looks like I got bored to soon.]
21:59:01 Nov 13th 07 - Lord Ragnarr The Wolf: [ Gah, how could thsi happen,.... Sorry it is all beeped up, lads, but as I was writing it nothing was there before I posted it and now,... well beep happens,... ] [ What say we forget what I wrote - ignore it and instead continue Seloc's post,...]
22:01:35 Nov 13th 07 - Lord Seloc: [Looks like we posted at the same time, great minds think alike. I don't which we use, it would be biased for me too say one.]
22:04:25 Nov 13th 07 - Lord Ragnarr The Wolf: [ Anyway, should we continue your post? Mine seems more "monotonous" than yours ... ]
22:25:31 Nov 13th 07 - Lord Jonny Bacardi The Ruined Son: [I don't know, I kinda like Ragnarrs, seems to fit more into the story.....although I love the quotes Seloc, they're really funny, Especially Erunion's.]
22:37:23 Nov 13th 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar: {Yours is good Ragnarr, but Seloc's is hilarious... And I love hilarity. Go with Selocs.}
22:38:38 Nov 13th 07 - Sir Verll: [Seloc's post were funnier and more action filled, but Ragnarr's were more in tact with the story...(loves the quotes btw ;)]
22:38:50 Nov 13th 07 - Lord Ragnarr The Wolf: [ um,... I don't mind which one,... if you people want Seloc's, then post first, I will be away for some time,... ]
23:26:15 Nov 13th 07 - Mr. Might: [I agree with Verll I think Seloc should do it. But Later Ragnarr should continue.]
23:52:56 Nov 13th 07 - Prince Lucias Septim II: [[OOC: Due to Ragnarr being gone for a while, I think Seloc should do it until Ragnarr can continue, BTW, I am leaving for five days starting tomorrow]] Septim aims his blade at the beast and blue energy strikes out at it, Septim remembers one of his grandfather's greatest phrases. "You will not pass", says Septim. The beast roars in defiance, but Septim does not stand down. "You will not pass!", yells Septim louder than the beast ever could, the beast charges Septim and Septim smashes the ground and a hole appears, both Septim and the monster falls in.
15:47:42 Nov 14th 07 - Sir Verll: Verll looks at Septim falling down the hole. "Smart..." He storms over to the hole and looks down. It seems it is only darkness down there, but where the beast is falling it is light. Suddenly he see a blade coming from him from the left. Trying to avoid the blade, he falls down the hole. "Oh damnit" he thinks while he is falling.
17:16:09 Nov 14th 07 - Lord Seloc: Seloc drew his saber, and charged the nearest strong man. He was holding a spear and sword, noticing Seloc approch he stabbed with his spebeeploc ducked under it, useing his saber as protection from the warrior bringing the spear down on his head, but having it horizontal sliding down the spebeeploc then ran towards the man, with his spear diabled, he swung his sword in to meet Seloc's head. Seeing the danger Seloc drew his short sword and blocked the blow, then dodged out of reach of the sword, but near enough to stop the man from using the spear. "What the hell is happening over there?" [Some jokes don't need to be contiuned. 0.o]
17:57:58 Nov 14th 07 - Mr. Might: Might quickly jumped back and hid behind some chairs. After a while (A few minutes) Might saw someone trying to sneak up behind Seloc while he was fighting the strong man. He drew his dagger and jumped from his cover using the surprise to stab in his unprotected belly. [What joke?]
19:21:14 Nov 14th 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar: Erunion put his hands together, and a stream of fire leapt out, burning those in it's path as it turned aside. As it disipated, Erunion drew his sword, leaping forward he brought it down on a man, cleaving most of him in two, and throwing a burst of fire out. Kicking the body into another man, Erunion stabbed at another, backfisting him in the head, the spike ripping into his skull, then kicked another in the gut, sending him flying. Hacking into another man, Erunion continued his deadly dance...
22:14:56 Nov 14th 07 - Lord Jonny Bacardi The Ruined Son: Jonny looked around. The fighting was very fierce. However, they had to get through these guys, and past that door. Jonny lunged, catching a man runnig at him completely off guard, as the both fell to the ground. Jonny pushed off of him, launching himself into a summersualt. Pulling out his weapon, he landed on the ground in a crouching position, sword drawn. He immediately jumped, like a loosing coil, into a group of three black robed men, knocking them all down. Jonny jumped up agian, parrying a sword thrust, and elongating his weapon, slashing it back through the mans neck. This was going to be some intense fighting...
22:27:54 Nov 14th 07 - Mr. Might: Might in the confusion of the battle Might sneaked away into a dark place trying to get behind the enemys.
22:47:37 Nov 14th 07 - Lord Ragnarr The Wolf: Ragnarr stood up from where he was flung by the abomination. No time to look around, he blocked a blade and ducked under the deadly arch of another, then he slashed, but his sword was parried. He turned and made a second strike at the black robes warrior, this time taking him by the shoulder and then in the chest. He ran forward towards some stairs, seeing an advantage in height. As soon as he ran up, he turned swiftly and kicked a persuer in the face. Then he turned once more to block the attack of another. By the time the man tried to strike a second time, two more ambushers charged Ragnarr from behind. Ragnarr slashed powerfully, making a wound on one, but they were damn quick and swift in their moves. He suddenly became cornered by four black robes. As Ragnarr parried a blow, another came for his left hand, wounding him. The northman turned and made a high hack, taking one of the warriors' heads and hitting another on the shoulder. The other two hesitated to strike, which was their mistake, as before they could, they were choking blood on the ground, and Ragnarr was running amongst the corridors, searching for his battle commrades, striking ambushers in his way,...
18:00:58 Nov 15th 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar: Striking forwards towards the hole, Erunion looked down. About 50 feet down was an underground river, and a cave, on the bank were Verll and Septim, both battered from their fall into the river, and shivering from the cold. Erunion was about to move to continue fighting, when out of the water the beast emerged. A black mass of slime, wings unfolding to leap towards the unsuspecting men on the riverbank. Why do I let myself get into these things... Erunion yelled out, creating a flare in the cave, then leapt down into the river...
18:29:34 Nov 15th 07 - Sir Verll: Verll awake on the ground. He touched his forehead witch throbbed with pain. While holding his hand to his forehead he stood up and looked around to see a light which blended the beast. Verll looked towards the beast as the light started to diminish. He looked up and saw Erunion falling right at him. He then saw that the beast started moving towards them, still blinded by the light. Looking at Septim he said to himself "Oh crap..." He grabbed hold of Septim and pulled him away, further into the shadows of the cave.
20:05:39 Nov 15th 07 - Mr. Erunion Telcontar: Attaching the light to the roof, Erunion swam out of the water, quickly evaporating the water on his own clothes. Quickly kneeling over Verll and Septim, Erunion heals their injuries, while the beast adjusts to the light... {OOC: Being a fire mage, the corny joke possibilities here are endless. (I am the servant of the secret fire, wielder of the flame of Arnor! Dark fire shall not avail you, Flame of Udun! :P}
22:36:50 Nov 15th 07 - Lord Jonny Bacardi The Ruined Son: Jonny continues fighting on the upper level. The black robes are starting to deplete in number, but a good number of northman are hurt or dead on the top level. Jonny and Seloc are back to back, slashing and hacking at any who dare come within the range of their weapons.
22:41:51 Nov 15th 07 - Mr. Might: Might picks up a dead mans spear and throws it into the back of a black robed man. Then he twists stabing at a man coming behind him. [EEk! Im all alone :( ]
