00:22:08 Nov 20th 08 - Lord Charley Deallus:

Edward, not Charley, fought hard in the fortress and out on the battlefield.  He then saw the Devarians retreat to the residential areas and followed Arvious into a workshop.  He sprinted into the main road after Arvious and then into the alleyways to sneak into the armoury.  A guard on patrol walked out in front of them and was quickly beheaded as his eyes widened in surprise.  Edward cleaned his sword as he ran past the bloody corpse and sheathed it again.


16:55:57 Nov 20th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

Arvious came bursting out of the main hall, and seeing Anubis asked, "What happened to him?" 

"Tried to use his powers, didn't work," Demonsul said.  "Orders?"

"Yeah,"  Arvious said.  "We're taking an armoury deep in the enemy forces.  The escape route is supposedly there.  We should get going."

Having regained his strength while waiting for Arvious, Anubis was able to stand and join the group in the battle.  After taking refuge in the workshop, Arvious gave his next orders.

"Alright, we have the Devarians falling back, thanks to our help.  However, we need to split up and flank these soldiers in the main road.  Demonsul, Adam and Anubis, you go up the stairs in this building and walk on the rooftops until you reach the armoury.  Charley and Rell, you all are with me.  We're gonna sneak through the alleyways until we get to the armoury.  Hopefully, the guards will be able to hold off the forces.  Let's go, let's go!"

Nodding his consent, Anubis looked at Adam and Demonsul. "All right guys, let's do this!" Taking the stairs two at a time, Anubis ran up to the roof.  Then walking hunched over to avoid being spotted he made his way across the roofs.  Any Devarians unlucky enough to happen below him he would kill by pulling up one of the heavy shingles and dropping it on the Devarians skull, smashing it immeadiately.  Smiling at his companions he said, "It may be a little unorthodox, but it works great."


01:20:57 Nov 21st 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

Arvious ran through the alleys, turning left and right many times.  Eventually, Arvious reachs the armoury, and Charley and Rell follow in suit.  The three of them run until they reached the building, and burst into the armoury.  ARvious looked around and saw that it was empty.  Not a Devarian was spotted as they searched through.  Soon, Anubis, Adam, Demonsul and Darkin ran into the armoury.

"Good, we're all here.  Let's try and find something that looks like an escape route."

Arvious began to look around in the bottom floor, but found nothing but some mold and rats.  Angrily, Arvious walked back into the main room, where everyone else was looking for an escape route.

"Where is the stupid tunnel?"  Arvious asked angrily, and kicked a stone sticking out of the wall.  The brick pushed back, and a section of the wall started to move.  Arvious blinked, and the group began to walk into the tunnel.  Arvious pushed a brick when everyone got in the tunnel, and the wall slid back.  He them rummaged through his bag until he found a torch and lit it against the stone wall.

"Let's get moving."


01:29:56 Nov 21st 08 - Lord Charley Deallus:

Edward, NOT Charley, followed Arvious into the armoury and searched around for the escape route.  He did not find anything and became frustrated with the search.  He then looked over at Arvious and saw a strange stone sticking out of the wall.  He opened his mouth to say something, but Arvious then kicked it.  The wall opened up and Edward decided that he was too slow to get the credit for it.  He lined up behind Arvious and followed him into the tunnel.


02:02:36 Nov 21st 08 - Mr. Anubis:

Finally reaching the armory (after bashing some more heads along the way) Anubis creeped up to some windows that were level with the roof that he was standing on.  The room he peered into was obviously some back room of the armory, and the Devarians had apparently turned it into a party room.  There was some alchohol and they were laughing while torturin*beep*oung woman that they had apparently caught.  Glancing back Anubis motioned for the others on his team to follow him, then dove through the window.  Twisting in the air, his hands shot out and knives killed three of the Devarians and injured a fourth before Anubi*beep* the ground with a roll.  Using the momentum of his roll he came up right in front of the one torturing the girl, and he brought his staff up while at the same time twisting it just right and a slender yet unbreakable blade shot out, cutting the Devarian in half.  Before the other Devarians could react to this unexpected attack Anubis was on them in a streak killing three more.  The whole attack had lasted mere seconds.  Turning to the girl, he used his boot knife to cut her loose then handed her some coins. "Take this and hide somewhere till the battle's over" The young woman looked at him gratefully and while leaving said, "Go with God noble warrior." Looking towards the main room of the armory, where he could here some noises he replied in a cold voice, "Too late for that" Then ran into the main room.

Rather than a room full of Devarians like he expected, he saw Arvious of and the others looking for an escape route.  Peering around Anubis saw a stone sticking out of the wall as if the builders had misplaced it.  Anubis began to walk towards it then brushed it off, thinking that secret tunnels had latches like that only in the movies (how he knows about movies is beyond me :).  He continued to scan the room, till he heard Arvious mutter something in an angry voice, then heard a thump.  Looking over he saw that Arvious had kicked the stone he had been looking at and was now advancing toward the tunnel.  Shrugging ruefully, Anubis moved to follow. 


04:02:37 Nov 21st 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

[[Rofl, sorry Edward.  Get's a little confusing switching the names sometimes.]]


03:26:25 Nov 23rd 08 - Mr. Anubis:

[[Arvious, do you not really want to do this post?]]

 


03:35:58 Nov 23rd 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

[[Yeesh, give me some time.  This is my first successful RP, and I have no intention of ruining it with sloppy writing.  It'll continue tommorow. okay?]]


01:25:29 Nov 24th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

[[?]]


01:32:17 Nov 24th 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

[[It is tommorow now -_-.  I didn't know I had so much crap I had to do today.]]

Arvious and the group grew inpatient as they continued walks through the tunnel.  They had been walking in there for so long, the torch was about to go out.  After much exasperationg, they reach the end of the tunnel, which, of course, was blocked.

"Haha!" Arvious yelled.  "I'll just kick a stone sticking out of the wall."

Arvious looked around the tunnel and found a stone sticking out.  Arvious ran up to it and kicked it.  A few moments later, Arvious is rolling on the floor, yelling in pain.  The brick really was a misplaced brick.

"ARGH, THAT WAS A BRICK!!!"  Arvious yelled.  He miserably got up and pushed another brick sticking out of the wall, and the tunnel opened up.  Arvious ran up to the closeby river and dipped his foot into the cool waters.

"Ahhh...  Okay men.  Geran Fortress is out of our line of sight, so I'm guessing we are closing in on Moorvora.  When we get there, we will rest for a day, and then stowaway on a cargo ship heading to the island city of Porlos.  We will head to Moorvoro... after my foot heals.  Ow, ow, ow..."


02:08:24 Nov 24th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

Edward had been following Arvious through the long tunnel.  His legs began to ache slightly, and he also grew bored and impatient.  He continually thought to himself.
"When does this tunnel end? When does this tunnel end!?"

It dragged on until the torch began to go out.  Edward watched as the flame began to extinguish when they reached a dead end.  He listened to Arvious and was about to warn him, but he watched as his glorious leader ended up on the ground yelling in pain.  He then watched as Arvious found another brick that opened up the end of the tunnel.  Arvious ran outside and stuck his foot into the river, and Edward followed.  He waited for Arvious' foot to heal so they could move on.  He saw no enemies and wondered what Moorvora would be like.


16:07:59 Nov 24th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

  As the tunnel stretched on and on forever, Anubis began meditating to past the time, so didn't even realize that the group had stopped until he heard Arvious yell, "Haha! I'll just kick a stone sticking out of the wall." Opening his eyes, Anubis was just in time to see the great warrior kick a brick which was quite firmly attached then yell like he had broken a couple of toes.  "Is this really the mighty hero that I had heard so much about?" Anubis wondered a little taken back.  After they got out of the tunnel Arvious spoke again. 

"Ahhh...  Okay men.  Geran Fortress is out of our line of sight, so I'm guessing we are closing in on Moorvora.  When we get there, we will rest for a day, and then stowaway on a cargo ship heading to the island city of Porlos.  We will head to Moorvoro... after my foot heals.  Ow, ow, ow..."

Growling with impatience at the unplanned wait, Anubis approached Edward.  "To pass the time, would you be up to a little friendly sparring to improve our skills?"


20:20:45 Nov 24th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II:

Rell's men were following closely as the thief lord watched the dimwit kick the brick.
"Fool..." he muttered.
Rell wished only to get the mission over and done with, it wasn't his type of mission afterall. He preferred to plunder for money, not fight for glory. He left glory to the heroes with their crowds of fans.


22:49:45 Nov 24th 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

Arvious got up and took a look at his foot, which had turned purple.  He stood up and wrapped the foot with a piece of damp cloth and turned to his team.

"Sorry about being an ass and kicking a brick sticking out of the wall,"  Arvious muttered.  "Come one, let's get going."

The group walked for a couple of minutes before setting eyes on the first enemy town they would be visiting, Moorvora.  Due to the fighting in this area claiming and reclaiming this land, Moorvora has become neutral, and harbors both sides of the war.  Arvious continued walking while talking.

"Be very discreet here... unlike my blunder in the caves.  While this zone is neutreal, that does not mean that the inhabitants are all on the same side.  If people were to disccover that we were from the Reveritt Republic, we would not only blow our cover, but we might have to fight all the way to Sairio."

When they reached the town gates, guards walked towards Arvious.

"Your name and purpose."

"Well,"  Arvious said.  He allowed everyone to introduce themselves, and Arvious began to talk.  "And I am Arv... um, Leon.  Yes, and we will be selling goods here, jah."

The group began to stare at Arvious oddly, and th4e guards began to speak.

"I see no goods," he sneered.

"We have many food items ready, yes?"  Arvious showed them their massive food stocks.

"...Okay, we'll let you in.  But, seriously, what land did you come from, with such a strange accent like that?"

Arvious ignored him and walked on past the gate.

"If you're wondering why I did that, I'm pretty sure that guard knows who I am, so I chose I different name.  Okay, I'm going to see the next available boat we can use, the rest of you can go find an inn and get some rest."

Arvious walked off...


01:04:21 Nov 25th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

After signing his name to the guards (Anubis had decided to pretend to be a deaf mute while in the town) Anubis stood quietly listening to the others introduce themselves.  Chuckling at Arvious' clever ploy and bad accent, Anubis followed the others through the gate. 

After walking through, Arvious said, "If you're wondering why I did that, I'm pretty sure that guard knows who I am, so I chose I different name.  Okay, I'm going to see the next available boat we can use, the rest of you can go find an inn and get some rest."  Shaking his head, Anubis signed to Arvious that one of them should go with him.  Then not waiting for a response, he signed for the others to go on ahead because he had some business of his own to do and he would catch up with them later.  He then turned and walked briskly down an alley way and turned the corner out of sight.


01:29:03 Nov 25th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

Edward introduced himself as Hamas Darlim, a trader of cheap weapons.  He pulled out several daggers that he had gotten from his adventures and gave one of them to the guards.  He kept his sword hidden underneath his black cloak and walked past, almost daring the guards to try something.  He listened to Arvious and decided to go to go find an inn to spend the night in. 
He found "The Dragon's Den" which was a older looking tavern.  He walked through the doors, ignoring the glances his way, and moved to the bar.  He whispered to the bartender, who's eyes widened in surprise, and he poured an unknown drink.  Edward drank it down in one gulp and then headed upstairs to a room.  He picked one at the end of the hallway, with a good view of the area thanks to the windows.  It also gave him a good escape route if enemies tried coming after him through the tavern.  There were hay bales outside the windows and several alleyways that could throw off pursuers.  He sat down on his bed and closed his eyes, going into a light sleep.


03:02:36 Nov 25th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

Anubis walked briskly through the back alleys of Moorvora and quickly reached his destination.  He spoke the a veiled man in a doorway for a moment, and a minute later was given a couple of scrolls which Anubis put in a bag.  Nodding to the man he walked off, made a few other stops then headed to a tavern to pick up on the latest talk.  A couple of hours later, he left the bar much more sober than he was pretending and hurried to an inn called the Dragon's Den.  It was the most likely place for the man he was looking for to be, and after surveying the inn for a moment he quickly climbed the bales of hey and knocked on Edward's window.


03:20:32 Nov 25th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

Edward opened his eyes and glanced at the window to see Anubis knocking at them.  He looked around carefully before opening the window and grabbed him by his arms.  He yanked him into the room swiftly and closed the windows again.  He pulled the curtains closed quickly.
"Were you followed? Nevermind that for now.  What do you want?"

Edward walked to the door and made sure it was still locked before sitting on a chair.


03:37:47 Nov 25th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

"I was at the tavern just now.  Some sort of elite guards and mercenaries were looking for some thief or bandit... Arvious was mentioned.  You know the people of this group better than I do, can everyone in our group be trusted? Those men were looking for someone, and they know that that someone is with us.  And there are two many of them for us to fight.  We need to hurry!"


03:51:36 Nov 25th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

Edward listened carefully and then moved towards the door, pressing his ear against it.
"Everyone can be trusted as far as I know.  They were hand picked for this mission.  Get out the window and I will follow you.  Be swift and invisible to all eyes that wish to find us."

Edward moved away from the door and threw his back cloak around himself.  The material would hide him well in the coming darkness that was not far away.  The group had gotten far in a single day, but now they would have to move in the dark.


04:23:50 Nov 25th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

Pulling his hood back up, Anubis melted into the shadows and went through the window again.  After climbing silently down the hay he took off swiftly yet unseen and unheard back through the alleys toward the docks where Arvious was suppose to be.


04:27:45 Nov 25th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

Edward quickly followed after Anubis, careful to remove all trace of his presence in the room.  He closed the window quickly and landed softly in the hay before dashing off after Anubis.  He raced silently down the alleyways, noticing that the docks were not as far away as he thought they were.


04:42:10 Nov 25th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II:

Rell was nowhere to be found when the rest of the group went through the checkpoint, for the city that they were visiting was one of the cities they had a sketch of him in. When they entered the city, they found Rell waiting.
"Finally," said Rell.
Rell did not go to an inn, he instead went to the Guild's Guild Hall. He was not recognized at first, but when he drew his famous cutlass, he was known right away.
"Sorry sir, you can have my quarters," said the Thief Lord.
"Thank you," replied the King of Thieves.
Rell walked up to the room and made sure to set the appropriate traps before falling asleep.


23:37:18 Nov 25th 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

[[Anubis, no pl- oh, I don't give a damn.  I was gonna have me recognized in the plot sometime...]]

"Anyway, I would like to have a look at this boat here,"  Arvious said, pretending to be a dock official.  "There's been a black market trade here, and I've been instructed to check every boat in this town for illegal imports."

"Alright, here, 'ave a look."  The idiot showed Arvious into the boat, and saw there was much room for his group to be when they sneaked onto this boat.  Arvious pretended to look at all the crates, and then walked out of the boat.

"All looks good,"  he told the man.  "Good to know there are a few good boats here."

Arvious walked up, but behind him, a man approched the boat captain.

"I would like to have a look at this boat here,"  he said.  "There's been a black market trade here, and I've been instructed to check every boat in this town for illegal imports."

"Wait,"  the man said.  He looked at Arvious walk away and pulled his sword out.

"Wait here."

The man began to pursue Arvious, who noticed the man running at him, and began to run at full speed.  He ran until he reached an alley, and pulled his sword out.  The captain followed him into the alley and ran up to Arvious.  It really wasn't much of a fight.  Arvious quickly parried the first blow and struck the captain on the side with the blunt end.  Arvious then struck with quick, yet deadly swiftness, and knocked the man off his feet.  He then noticed people heading toward the alley.  Arvious pulled his bow out and aimmed at one of the men, when he recognized the man to be Edward , with Anubis running by his side.

"What are you two doing here?" Arvious said.


00:22:43 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

[[you can still be recognised]]

   Anubis turned around the corner at a stealthy run, and spotted Arvious slaying a man who looked like a captain.  "I hope he has a good reason for doing that" Anubis thought.  Spotting them, Arvious turned and raised his bow then lowered it as they drew closer.  "Arvious we may have a problem." He quickly filled Arvious in on what he had heard at the tavern.  "We should leave.  I don't know who they are looking for, but they are the kind that kills first and asks questions after.  And they're elite.  Even if we could take them all out it wouldn't be worth it.  And every merc, soldier, and spy within a couple hundred miles would know that we are here." He handed Arvious the scrolls he had obtained earlier, "These may help us leave.  They are certificates of purchase showing that we sold many goods to several different companies.  That way if any of the guards want to know why we are leaving so soon, we have proof that we did our business here."


00:26:51 Nov 26th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

Edward followed Anubis and listened carefully.
"It would be best to run now and chat afterwards.  I am probably better than any mercenary or elite soldier following us, but we are outnumbered greatly.  Let's get to a ship and get out of here."


00:37:52 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

[[Anubis, did I say I killed the captain!?  I never kill except when neccesary.  Remember that...]]

Arvious listened to the two speak, and then looked around.

"Where's the rest of the group?" Arvious asked.  "We'll wait until we find our comrades, and then we will take the ship I 'inspected' to Porlos."

Arvious and the two walked off silently towards the Dragon's Den.


01:16:03 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Himanil V:

Adam had been watching the proceedings of Arvious, he had decided to maintain a low profile after sneaking past the guards especially when he saw the best of the elite Devarians roaming the city looking for them. At once he knew that there was a traitor amongst them, they couldn't have been discovered so quickly and so precisely, his mind began to suspect those whom he hadn't seen in quite a while. He dropped himself from the building which a jump amidst swirling robes. He got up and called out to the 3 of them, 'Hold your fire, (looking especially at Arvious, annoyance about the tunnel incidence still etched on his face) It's me Adam.


01:20:39 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

[[...there are no traitors Adam.  *sigh*]]


16:24:41 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

[[It was from a distance, Anubis just thought that you killed him :) ]]


16:27:52 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

[[...okay... when everyone in this RP posts, we will continue.  Darkin, Septim, your turns.]]


16:45:59 Nov 26th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

Sitting in the darkened room of the Dragon's den.  Anubis began pushing at the curse that bound his powers.  Testing very slowly he tried to do the simplest and most basic signs and powers.  Even though he could not do them, and trying even on such a small scale was making him sick, he pushed past the pain and nausia determined to regain some of his powers.


02:59:56 Nov 27th 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

[[Moving forward...]]

"You reckon we might find him 'ere?"

Three mercenaries were leaning on a wall close by the docks.  They all had two broadswords in both hands, and had on robes concealing metal plate armour.  The man in charge looked at the two.

"Yes, if our info on this is right, they will be heading to that boat in a while.  In a couple of minutes we'll be heading to Sairio for our reward."

"And there they are," the third man said.  A group was walking up to the boat they indicated before.  The man that walked up to the dock official had the descriptions they were looking for.

***

"Yes, my men and I were told that several chests of gold were stolen from the treasury, and we are searching every boat for traces of gold."  Arvious glared at the man, and the man stepped aside.  Arviosu took a look around the docks, and then grabbed the official.  He knocked him unconscious and laided him on the dock.

"Quick, everyone on the boat," Arvious said.

"Hey, you!"  Three men were walked towards Arvious, and the broadswords in hand told him they aren't friendly.

Arvious pulled out his bow and fired at the leader of the group and struck him in the chest.  To his dismay, it splintered the moment it contacted the man's chest.  Arvious pulled his sword out and began to duel the leader of the group.

While Arvious was attacking the leader, more hired men came running onto the dock, and charged at Arvious's team.

[[Let's see how you people far against these guys...]]


03:09:12 Nov 27th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II:

Rell drew his bow and with lightning speed, he shot off an arrow. It struck one in the neck, he shot off another, and it struck another man in the head. Then, when they got close, he drew his cutlass and began dueling them.


03:26:28 Nov 27th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

Edward tossed aside his black cloak as he drew Purilas.  He rushed at the closes man to him and ducked a horizontal slash.  He slashed the man's neck and kicked him to the ground.  He spun and blocked the attack of another man before kicking him off his feet.  Edward looked around him and saw two more hired men coming for him.  He drew two throwing daggers from his leg sheaths and threw them both, striking one man in the chest and the other in the neck.  He turned around to see the other man back on his feet and rushing at him again.  Edward blocked the man's slash and punched him in the face, stunning him.  He then kicked him to the ground again and pierced his chest with Purilas. 

One of the three original men that spotted the ground charged at Edward and slashed quickly.  Edward dodged and attacked back ferociously, hoping to throw the man off balance.  It failed miserably as the mercenary blocked each attack swiftly before attacking back more.  Edward retreated to the edge of the dock, his back to the water.  The mercenary struck at Edward's leg, but was blocked by Purilas.  Edward then backhanded the man's face and threw a dagger into his chest.  The man began to retreat slowly, drawing out the dagger and throwing it at he turned his back.  Edward was struck in the shoulder with the dagger, but chased after him.  He took out the dagger from his shoulder and threw it into the man's back, knocking him to the ground.  Edward then quickly beheaded him and tossed his head into the water.  He then wrapped some cloth around his shoulder as he cleaned his sword.


05:55:37 Nov 27th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

As the group of men rushed forward, Anubis ran to meet them.  Twirling his staff over his head, he brought it down hard on the head of the first warrior crushing it like an over ripe melon.  Then he was in the thick of the group, blocking and twisting with lighting speed.  Whenever a man would thrust at him, Anubis would quickly turn the blow aside and the sword would take his attacker's companions instead.  One threw a dagger at Anubis and he dodged in by a hair letting it sail past him and take an different attacker in the eye.  In no time out all over half the group he had engaged were on the ground with wounds and the others were trying to run.  Giving them no chance to do so; however, Anubis leaped acrobatically into the air twisting over the fleeing men's heads and landed in front of them.  Before they could react his hidden sword shot out and he decapitated the first row of men.  The others turned around and again began to flee.... right towards Anubis' companions.  Knowing that his fellow warriors would finish them off, Anubis chose to finish off the fallen rather than purser.  After assuring himself that all of the fallen were dead he went to join the other members of his group.


12:18:48 Nov 28th 08 - Mr. Himanil V:

Adam stood his ground despite the fact that 3 of the mercenaries were charging him, as the first one drew close Adam swiftly unsheathed his katana and *beep*ed his left hand high up forward (the one with the sheath), a black substance flew from it and made contact with the assailants eyes instantly blinding him and causing him to shriek in pain, Adam silenced him by piercing him through the throat with his sword. As the second mercenary drew up Adam continued with from his attack on the first assailant and swept his sword wide to male contact with his opponents sword, Adam slammed him into the wall and saw surprise in the mercenaries eyes at the simpleness of his moves, there was a rapid movement made by Adam and then a sickening crunch as the armour of the mercenary was rent into two, the look of surprise in the mercenaries eyes turned into one that Adam recognized to be that of death as Adam pulled back his silver dagger from the mercenaries heart.

In his assailants dead eyes Adam saw the reflection of a sword coming down from behind him from above to split him into two. Adam swung around and ducked remarkably low and saw the look of immense surprise and pain that he always found singularly interesting when his victims realized that there was a sword sticking through their torso. As Adam pulled back his sword and watched the open mouthed mercenary fall into the water with a splash he wiped his sword with a cloth, turning around Adam saw two injured mercenaries fleeing combat from Anubis, Adam made a mental note to thank Anubis for his dagger throwing practice. Whipping out 4 knives, Adam skilfully threw them all at the mercenaries, two caught one in the back who had spotted him and made an attempt to flee too late, while there were two daggers nearly overlapping each other in the other one's head.

Humming a tune to himself Adam twisted his wrist and thrust it in the backward direction, Adam kept pushing his blade till his face was nearly level with his assailants face. Adam said to him in a low voice, 'I hate to clean my blade, once i've already done it.' Pushing it a bit more and then twisting his blade, there was a sharp hissing noise as the last of his life left the assasin, Adam pulled out his blade. The assailants blade fell from his hands which were holding his own sword in the air, he fell on the ground as Adam went to join the other members of his group after cleansing his sword and ensuring that Dragfury was in it's place.


18:29:47 Nov 28th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

Rejoining his group, Anubis nodded towards Adam.  "You're a good man to have in a fight" Impatient to bored the ship, Anubis turned towards their fearless leader who was still battling the commander of the group that had attacked them.  Wanting to help but knowing that it would be unappreciated, Anubis sighed and began readying the ship for launch. 

After trimming the sails, making sure the anchor would lift easy, [[btw what kind of boat do we have? Is it a junk?]] and securing the equipment on deck, Anubis went below to inspect the cargo hold.  Noticing all of the crates, Anubis began to wonder what could be in them so began to look around for a crowbar.  (Why haven't these barbarians heard of labels?)  Suddenly he heard a sound to large to be a rat.  Immeadiately beginning to move stealthily,  he tried to find the source of the sound.  Hearing it again he walked towards it and found that he was facing what seemed to be crates that were side by side all the way to the wall of the hold.  Upon feeling them; however, he found one that was loose and was able to pu*beep* to the side.  Getting on all fours he saw that a tunnel had been created using the boxes, and drawing his dagger, he began crawling through it.  Obviously the tunnel was only a foot or so, but at the end it made a 90 degree angle and opened into a little room made from a space between the boxes, and the boxes on top being held up by a board.  In the room was a little boy who had been croutching just out of sight and hidden by the darkness lunged suddenly at Anubis with a knife.  Catching sight of his attacker out of his periphial he twisted quickly and caught the boy's arm just as the knife tip penetrated the meaty part of his shoulder.  Anubis quickly twisted the boy's arm so the knife fell then threw the kid back against the wall.  Not giving the young fighter a chance to react he pinned him there and drew his blood red dagger back.  He paused however at seeing the boy's eyes.  Even though severly outmatched, unarmed, and facing death; he glared up at Anubis with defiance and an obvious willingness to keep fighting.  Admiring the kids spunk, Anubis asked him without lowering his knife, "Why did you attack me?" In a cold voice that would have raised goosebumps on the most hardened warrior. 
"I won't go back! Never! And I know what the captain of this ship does to stowaways.  So you just go ahead and turn me over to him! Or be kind and finish me off now! I don't care!"
Smiling, or what passed for a smile for Anubis, he lowered his blade and let the kid go.  "I'm not going to hurt you.  And the ship has new... owners now.  If you are going to ride this ship; however, you must be able to prove yourself useful.  And you will have to work.  Can you bind a wound?" The boy nodded slowly,  a wary look in his eyes.
"Yeah, my ma use to be a herb woman in my village.  I can heal anything!" Suddenly, warming to the matter he began blabbering, "And I can work too! I'm strong for my age and I know how to sail! I know the currents and the shoals around here and can safely take you where the soldier's ships don't go! I can help mister!"
Anubis eyed him critically.  "Very well.  Show me what you can do by starting with my shoulder.  If you do a good job, you can tag along with me as my helper.  Don't expect it to be easy though.  And you will need this."  Anubis said while handing him his dagger back.  After getting his shoulder bandaged, Anubis lead the boy up on deck to present him to Arvious.


18:42:21 Nov 28th 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

[[I'm speeding this along, I won the fight.  Yeah, the boat is junk.]]

The ship from the docks sailed full speed towards Porlos, hopefully not being attacked on the way.

"Who is this?" Arvious asked Anubis.  "Surely you don't expect a kid to fare long on this trip?"

"Hey, I'm well skilled!" the boy shouted.  "I can work and fight and heal an-"

Arvious cut him off.  "Anubis, I suppose he could be of soem use to us."


18:59:51 Nov 28th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

Anubis smiled at the kid's spunk.  "If he becomes a bother we can always chop him up and use him as bait to fish."
"I won't be a bother! And you can't do that to me! I'll"
"You're gettig on my nerves.  Knock it off and learn some respect." Anubis told him in a chilly tone.  Surprisingly, the kid dropped his head and blushing apologized.  "I will try to be good sir, and not be a bother.  And I will work really hard." Nodding his head, Anubis went to sit at the bow and work some more on regaining his powers.  "Between this ship and the curse binding me, I'm going to be really sick." He thought to himself.  Sighing he began trying to use his powers of regeneration to heal his shoulder...


00:26:06 Nov 29th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

Edward had pulled his cloak back on and cleaned his blade upon a dead mercenary.  He stepped onto the boat and found a place where he could sleep.  He dropped his pack on the ground and yawned silently.  He was tired from not having slept in so long.  The last time he had tried to sleep, he was woken up by Anubis.  Edward dozed off until he was needed again.


04:55:32 Nov 30th 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

Arvious sat at the edge of the ship for hours, bored to tears, due to the calm winds slowing their ship speed.  The ship had barely a few miles of sailing completed before the winds failed.  At this rate, they'll be at Porlos next month.  Arvious took another swig of beer and looked towards the sea.  Something caught his eye.  A ship closing in on the trade ship.  The flag was black and had the desert skull waving high in the sky.

"Desert pirates," Arvious muttered.  "Everyone, to your stations!  Load the cannons."

"Um, sir, we don't have any cannons," one of the crew members said.

"Dammit," Arvious said.  "Everyone good at archery, at arms!  Everyone else, prepare to hold off boarders!"

Arvious ran to the poop deck and picked up his bow lying in a corner.  He picked it up and got into his ready stance, the pirate ship barely a few meters away...


05:22:44 Nov 30th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

Edward woke up, started by the shouting.  He instinctively grabbed at his sword and moved towards the voice.  He found that it was Arvious and that a pirate ship was trying to board them.  He rushed to the side of the ship where the pirate ship was, just as two pirate swung onto the deck.  The drew sabers and moved towards Edward.  He drew Purilas and raced to meet them.  Edward dodged both of their sabers and sliced their stomachs wide open, causing their insides to plop out onto the deck.  He then beheaded both of them as they stood and stared at what used to be their insides. 

Three more pirates jumped onto the deck of the ship and surrounded Edward quickly.  Thinking they had the advantage, one of the pirates rushed in swinging.  Edward easily blocked his attack and sliced off his arm and then his head.  He kicked the still standing body off of the ship and sprinted amazingly fast at another pirate.  He cleaved the right leg of the pirate off before slicing his head clean off.  The remaining pirate's eyes bulged in horror, but he charged at Edward having no other choice.  Edward parried the attack and wrapped his free arm around the pirate's neck.  He snapped it like a twig and watched as the man fell lifelessly to the deck.  More pirates were coming and Edward continued killing any that came near since they were nowhere near his level, even on a ship.


00:31:52 Dec 1st 08 - Mr. Anubis:

Anubis, still sitting at the bow trying to regain his powers, jumped up when he heard Arvious shout.  Swaying dizzily, still sick from pushing against the curse upon him, he grabbed his weapons and headed towards the starboard side of the junk.  Sensing someone near him, he looked down to see the boy.  [[I don't think I've come up with a name for him yet... hmmm.  I guess I'll just call him kid]] "Get below deck kid."
"I want to fight too!"
Seeing the speed with which the pirate ship came in, Anubis knew he didn't have time to argue.  Grabbing a rope, he threw it around kid before the boy could react then tossed him overboard.  He knew that by the time the kid could climb back up the battle would be over.  Looking back up, Anubis was just in time to see the pirate ship grapple with the junk.  Jumping on the enemy ship, Anubis ran with incredible speed towards the captain's cabin.  Reacting subconsciously, Anubis had not only snapped out his staff's hidden blade, but was also using his god powers consentrated on the jackel's head.  The head was glowing like lightning and anybody it touched died screaming and burning.  Rushing forward with incredible speed, Anubis cut down any in reach on his way across the boat.  Seeing him coming, a miniature giant stepped in front of him with a gigantic scimitar.  As Anubis drew close, the giant thrust his weapon at Anubis, planning to use his own momentum to stick him through.  Anubis; however, leaped up at the last moment and throwing his feet straight out, took the giant full in the face.  The monstrous fighter pulled back, his face a bloody mess, then swung his scimitar down with a herculean force.  Anubis lifted his staff to block the blow and as a result was smashed to the deck with the giant's superior strength.  Rolling quickly to the side, and gasping for air, Anubis came up stabbing the giant under the arm.  A battle between the giant and Anubis quickly ensued.  The giant was infinately stronger than Anubis, yet Anubis' speed was unmatched.  Minutes passed, as the two combatants, lost in the bloodlust of battle and oblivious to time or the wounds they received, fought on and on.  Finally, dripping sweat and gasping for oxygen, Anubis spun to the side, sliced the giant who already looked like he had gone through a meat grinder one more time than feinting knocked the giant's scimitar from his hand.  Turning quickly yet much to slow for Anubis, the giant found himself facing the red-glowing jackel headed side of the staff.  Lowering his hands in defeat the giant waited for death.  Still breathing heavy Anubis told him "It would be a crime to kill such a powerful warrior.  Pick up your scimitar, grow stronger, and we will meet again." Then lowered his staff.  The giant looked at him for a moment the bent to pick up his sword, "I look forward to the day!" Then the giant jumped over the side of the ship and began swimming to shore.  Anubis muttering under his breath and just realizing the extent of the wounds which he had not felt turned to see the outcome of the battle.


14:22:47 Dec 1st 08 - Mr. Himanil V:

Adam shot another pirate hidden from view, thanks to the pile of bodies that totally hid him. Adam notched another arrow and looked down at the composite bow, it was a terrifically good one and Adam had a good mind to take it along with him, Adam had seen some inscriptions made on it but hadn't been able to read it as Adam bent closer his sixth sense warned him of an incoming attack, instinctively Adam leaped back acrobatically and the pirates sword chopped off his bow into two. Swearing Adam rolled towards the pirate at amazing speed while whipping out his sword such that by the time he had rolled past the pirate, both legs of the pirate had been cut off. Adam got up and dueled with 2 more pirates who pounced at him, he disposed of one instantly and crushed the larnyx of another one with his hand in his rage when the pirates's sword nearly cut off his hair. 'You never touch the hair, get it,' muttered Adam in his rage over the dead pirate.

Looking around Adam saw more pirates swarming overboard, this boat of ours will capsize any moment now Adam thought,, he wondered where the weak point of the pirate ship was as he was considering taking over the pirate ship, even as he downed 2 pirates with his throwing knives and proceeded to board the other ship.


17:06:55 Dec 1st 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

[[Pulling out of all RPs...might as well take myself out then]]

Edward silently cut down another pirate before seeing a small boat of pirates attempting to board the ship.  He jumped off of the ship onto theirs, killing or tossing all of them overboard.  He then realized that there was a strange current pulling his boat away.  He shouted several more times before he was dragged farther and farther away until he was gone from sight.


00:53:59 Dec 2nd 08 - Mr. Anubis:

Seeing that the battle was still raging and pirates were boarding the junk as fast as his friends could kill them, he ran to the wheel and began slowly turning the ship away from the junk.


12:56:20 Dec 4th 08 - Mr. Himanil V:

Adam leapt on to the pirate ship and decided that he would take the ship for their own. Adam went as far up as he could on the pirate ship and viewed about, he saw that the pirates were on their last legs but were still more than enough to wipe out them all out. Adam saw out of the corner of his eye Edward leaping overboard and kill all pirates but in the process he got sundered from them. Adam sighed, he hadn't meant to reveal himself that early but he had no option, he saw that they were being separated and Anubis wouldn't make it on time.

A great fire rose inside Adam and all about him, all who saw him trembled in awe and fear for suddenly he seemed to grow in size, his countenance grew fair yet terrible, the sea currents swirled about the ships and the ocean seemed to tremble, Adam put his hand on the hilt of his yet undrawn sword and drew forth his enchanted sword 'Dragfury', made of a material unknown in the times of old by the elves and dwarves together, there was no other blade like it. It sparkled golden and white but to his enemies it instilled terror and dreadful fear in their hearts. Wha followed in the next few minutes was indescribable, 1 stroke by Adam's sword would go through even rock trolls with unpenetrable armour like a knife through butter, the pirates didn't even know what hit them, all were killed before even the thought of drawing their weapons could pass their minds, all this happened in a blur to even the fastest of the eye. Adam literally raced from place to place like a thunderbolt, the very air around Adam seemed to have turned golden, his sword flaming a terrible Golden-red whenever it drew blood. Pirates who even attempted to throw themselves overboard were killed before they took two steps.

Before the minute was ended the colour of the ship had taken a totally new colour, 'Red', Adam had slain every foe aboard the ship, he drew up to the last opponent, the captain of the ship who had thrown his weapons to the ground and was lying on the deck his hands above his head begging for mercy, Adam said in a voice that wasn't his own 'Get up,' the pirate looked at Adam, he immediately stopped moving, his body went limp, moments later he fell. Adam re sheathed his sword, he swayed momentarily on the spot before falling on the then foe dereft deck, he required immediate attention. The strain of using Dragfury had been too great.


22:47:19 Dec 4th 08 - Mr. Arvious VIII:

[[Just to update this.]]

Arvious grabbed his bow and ran up to the stern of the boat.  He immediantly grabbed onto one of the ropes hanging from the ship and took a deep breathe, and jumped off the ship.

"Ahhhhhh!" Arvious yelled, as he spinned around and around the ship.  He knocked into a pirate, whom held a bulky gun.  Arvious kicked the man in the crotch, and grabbed the gun.

"Thank you!"

Arvious jumped off the rope and landed on the pirate ship, landing on some poor lad.  The archer grabbed the stolen gun and fired several times at the pirates, missing everytime.

"The reason I don't use these," Arvious muttered, "is because I am more successful with this!"

Arvious shot bow to bow at the pirate member*beep*ting each one surrounding him in the throat, and fell to the wooden deck.  More pirates jumped at Arvious, and more polluted the sea around them became.  Arvious then finally ran up to the captain and said one word.

"Boo."

"AHHHHH!" the captain yelled, and jumped overboard.

"See how simple that works, eh?" he said, and then ran under the deck, where the cannons where. He grabbed a cannon and aimmed it at the bottom of the pirate ship, and fired.  A spark of light burst from the cannon, and destroyed the bottom of the ship, which had a little amount of blasting powder at the bottom cellar.

Arvious climbed back onto the deck.  "After all of this turmoil, we might be able to make it to Sairio.  Just spend less time for antics like-"

The whole other half of the pirate ship exploded, bursting into the sea.

"...that."


03:23:29 Dec 5th 08 - Mr. Anubis:

Anubis, still at the helm, watched his comrades jump into action. He watched as Arvious used his fearful bow skill to drop pirate after pirate.  Then saw the captain jump into the sea and Arvious ran below deck.  About the same time, Adam sprung into action, moving with a speed matching Anubis' one, but with much greater strength,  then the captain that had jumped overboard climbed back on the ship, only to die when spoken to by Adam.  Anubis took a deep breath, the battle was over.  Leaving the helm, Anubis approached Adam smiling, "Well, it would seem that our fortunes have been increased by a ship.  And one much better than..." At that very instant, the ship blew up, throwing Anubis to the deck.  He didn't really know hw it had happened, but the ship was now sinking and he scrabbled quickly back into the junk. "By Osirus! What just happened? If I hadn't turned the boat away, our junk would have been capsized! Who did that?  Oh well, at least we are safe."  Anubis then preceded below deck, followed by a very angry and sullen Kid (I think I will call him Kip instead), to continue trying to regain his powers.  Hopefully is peace this time.
