Sparrow smiles and bows low to Thantos. "I would be delighted to tell you more about us. Have no fear, you are a good person and I cannot harm you with my blade, it will not allow it." He touches the hilt of his sword for comfort. "Be at ease and have no fear." he bows to the rest of the party. "Well, this evil that has chosen you I guess has chosen me also. Shall we look about the room?" Sparrow says as he lays his finger on his lip as if trying to remember something.

He walks to the east across from the window he came in. "I checked these doors when I came in and they would not budge. I also could not see anything with such little light but now that we have light......"

Bob Biter · 09-10-2003, 04:23 PM

Just before Krazixs managed to open the secret door, Vinoh detected a presence in the room with a disciplined mind and a thoughtful disposition. However, he did not have the time to warn the group of this as Krazixs opened the door wide and the presence, thankfully a kindred spirit made itself known.

As introductions are made, the mind mage smiles, grateful to have two new powerful additions to the group. He walks to Sparrow:

"Greetings, Sparrow. I am glad that the presence I detected turned out to be a good one. I can only hope that our combined efforts will be enough to vanquish whatever evil reigns over this place and make our way back home. I am Vinoh Madren, mind mage and pupil to the great Lanodin of the Mind's Eye Guild."

As a few of his companions create some light, Vinoh turns to the group:

"Well, I guess that we should move on, then. I'm partial to the stairs, although they DO lead down, so we should be careful not to end up in the catacombs again. However, since we seem to no longer be in the actual Tomb of Velix, I think it should be fine."

Apokx · 09-10-2003, 04:48 PM

The party had found another companion,the number grew steadily higher.The knight thought back to his easy acceptance into the group,and gave Sparrow benefit of the doubt.
Surely,if his comrades could accept a Dark Knight,they would easily become allies with this "Wind Runner Knight".

Realizing that his ideals conflicted greatly with this man in white,Attrah simply half-sneered without comment.

ooc:Turning the shield off for now.

redravin40 · 09-10-2003, 07:53 PM

From the start Father Quadrial had wondered about the odd group that had gathered together for this mission.
There seemed to be a cohesion that defied the personalities and backgrounds of the individuals.
Perhaps it was the common goal or the sense that there was something much larger then themselves at stake.

rogue49 · 09-11-2003, 04:58 AM

* As Darghon's globe of light ascends.
You can more clearly see the very large room you are in.

It is obviously an audience hall of some type,
used to present petitioners to the lord of the hall,
however as you can see it hasn't been used for ages.

The secret door you came through is still wide open.
Perhaps it was a servant's entrance.
There is nothing with a hordes of cobwebs in the ceiling,
but they don't give you comfort being there.

The double doors have ornate carvings obscured by a thick layer of dust.
The twin stairwells descend with faded carpet covering them.
and the single door to your right is non-descript. *

Darkblack · 09-11-2003, 05:11 AM

As Sparrow explores the east side of the room looking for anything that may provide some information he begins to speak. “We of the White Light live or lives to make the world better. There are 3 Temples, Gods eyes, The Wind Runner Knights, and The Sai Don Monks. The Gods Eye are our scholars. They provide all the information we need and research sources of evil. It is said they can see through Gods eyes.” He smiles as he runs his hand over the wall, then examining the dust on his fingertips. “The Wind Runner Knights are the warriors. We follow the wind and it leads us to evil.” With a chuckle he turns and faces the group. “ I guess that is how I ended up here!” He spreads his arms still smiling. “It is said that we can ride the wind!” Sparrows smile turns into a grin as he turns back to the wall and continues. “ I do not know much about the Sai Don Monks. Only elders are permitted to see them or speak to them. There are many rumors about them, some say they are gods themselves, some say they are not from this world.” He shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head. “It is of no concern of mine really. I must fulfill my destiny by destroying as much of the evils of the world as I can.” He touches his sword hilt again resting his hand on it out of habit.

He notices everyone gathering near the steps going down and moves over towards the group. "there are doors over there." He says. "Do you think we should go down or try to go out one of those doors?"

redravin40 · 09-11-2003, 06:05 AM

A chill runs up Father Quadrial's spine.
"I suspect whatever direction we go will draw out the enemy we seek. It just depends on how quickly."
Opening his pack he takes out a bag.
Inside are six ridged rings each larger then the other.
Upending his staff, he drops each ring from the base to the top and tapes them into place.
What had once been a tool of light, a largely defensive weapon, was now a war mace.

Darkblack · 09-11-2003, 09:54 AM

Sparrow watches Father Quadrial turn his staff into a club. "Very handy work there Father." He smiles and nods his approval of the weapon. "Hopefully it will not get to a point that you have to use that."

Sparrow walks over to the staircases to look around. "Let me check this staircase before we head down." He says as he checks first for traps and then for any markings that may hint at someone else passing through this way anytime recently. He then looks down as far as he can to try and see if he can see anything.

Darkblack · 09-11-2003, 05:15 PM

After careful inspection Sparrow says, "Well, I see no traps and nothing out of the ordinary. Shall we go down?"

Minx · 09-11-2003, 10:02 PM

Smiling slightly at the thought of what they had already encountered, D'Aleen slides her bow from her back and nods her appreciation of the Father's quick preparations.
Feeling an unease and a sense of urgency pressing upon her, she paces slowly from one end of the room to the other, awaiting the decision of the others.
The lack of communication with the beasts of the living land was an empty ache to her. Her kin had always thrived on the close bond with nature and she missed communing with the forest and the creatures that resided in her lands. She suddenly felt very isolated for the first time, despite the fact that the "draw" to combat this evil was a pull that would not, could not be denied.

"Well Sparrow, if you have already attempted to escape through the doors to no avail, then I would suggest we move down the staircase....unless you found anything of interest in the room down the hall anyone?"

GoldenOuroboros · 09-12-2003, 12:58 AM

Darghon pulls his wings back inside of himself wincing with the pain... "That should make close combat in confined quarters abit easier.." ginning a little he makes sure his hilt is in it's lil leather sheath on his rope belt.

"Well I am ready to go.. shall we?"

Apokx · 09-12-2003, 01:47 AM

Now weilding sword and shield,Attrah nods to Darghon.
"I am ready."

krazixs · 09-12-2003, 06:43 AM

It's close now Krazixs thinks to himself.

"Let's go"

Darkblack · 09-12-2003, 07:57 AM

Sparrow follows the group down the steps watching the rear. "I will watch our backside."

Cubby · 09-12-2003, 12:45 PM

"Heading down again..Sparrow did say he only tried the double doors...perhaps we should briefly try the single door?"

With that Thantos moves over to the door and first tries to push it at a distance with his sword. Failing that he will pull the handle with his sword while standing to the side. And failing that he will move over and try to open the door with his hand by pushing and pulling.

Beltruckus · 09-12-2003, 02:32 PM

If all those things fail Kentelos will attempt to burn the wood away...

rogue49 · 09-12-2003, 08:47 PM

* As some of you start down the stairwell,
Thantos opens the single door easily...with a simple turn of his hand on the handle.
The door creaks open...

Inside you can see dusty scrolls and tomes lining the walls of this room
and they are scattered all across the floor too.
In the center fo all this clutter stands a huge accountant's desk.

A figure crouches atop a tall stool,
scratching a seemingly endless scroll of paper with a dry quill pen.
A rope hangs next to the creature from a hole in the ceiling. *

GoldenOuroboros · 09-13-2003, 12:33 AM

Hearing Thantos request as he starts heading down the stairs.. "Yell out if you find something Thantos.."

Beltruckus · 09-13-2003, 09:15 AM

Kentelos, hearing Darghon, speaks loud and clearly.

"What sort of creature are you?"

Hopefully the others heard this and will come over, as he says this he prepares for the worst and will cast a wall of fire to block te creature if he decides to make any sudden moves...

GoldenOuroboros · 09-13-2003, 10:28 AM

Darghon heads back up stairs when he hears Kentelos words. Reaching the door he peers in to see the being on the stool.. "a book keeper?" Darghon raises an eyebrow..

Bob Biter · 09-13-2003, 08:07 PM

Vinoh falls in behind those gathered at the wood door. Seeing the rope next to the figure, he thinks that this might serve to trigger an alarm or a trap. With that in mind, he prepares to paralize the "bookkeeper" in case he turns out to be overly frightened.

Minx · 09-14-2003, 02:17 AM

D'Aleen grasps her bow tightly as she follows the others into the room. Standing near the door and off to the side, she closely watches the figure at the desk as, head down, it continues to write. Worried it is a trap, she carefully scans the room for any dangers.

Darkblack · 09-15-2003, 04:36 AM

Sparrow watches everthing closely from outside the room.

GoldenOuroboros · 09-15-2003, 05:28 AM

Darghon can't take this no more.. so he steps into the room and makes himself known making himself sure that he isn't in Vinohs line of sight so he can't use his paralasis...

"Excuse me sir.. Me and my humble crowd are abit lost, could you help us?" Darghon keeps himself ready..

rogue49 · 09-15-2003, 05:53 AM

*A small palid man, with drawn dark eyes looks up from his writing squinting

"hmm? eh?
Master is that you?
I've got those new counts you wanted."

His voice is faded & stretched. *

krazixs · 09-15-2003, 06:53 AM

Krazixs stands at the back of the group, still in the hall where they found Sparrow, unable to see what is going on inside the small room.

Darkblack · 09-15-2003, 08:10 AM

Sparrow whispers to the group, "Do you think he is a spirit? A ghost?" he looks closer at the man at the desk again trying to find a clue to what he is and what he is counting.

Cubby · 09-15-2003, 10:46 AM

(OOC: Sorry I was away for the weekend and didn't get a chance to connect.)

Seeing the strange man, Thantos had moved out of sight until the others arrived. Hearing the man speak to Darghon that way, Thantos whispers to Darghon...

"Play along Darghon...pretend you are his master...ask him about the counts and tell him to be specific."

Beltruckus · 09-15-2003, 10:46 AM

"What is it your counting friend? Who is your master? Do you even know where you are?"

GoldenOuroboros · 09-15-2003, 01:21 PM

Darghon looks at the man not stepping any closer in case he recognises him and trying his best 'evil voice' "Yes give me the counts" Darghon shows an expression of anger as if he'd been waiting too long for the counts as an evil master might do "Tell me what the counts refer to and how many there are while you do it and make it quick.."

rogue49 · 09-15-2003, 01:41 PM

*The frail man's brow furrows, and his eyes open wide...

"What?!
Do you take me for a fool?!
It's one thing when I'm distracted from my work to be mistaken,
but it's another to mistake the Master's voice.
Who are you intruders?
Quickly, answer! I won't tolerate any mincing of words."

As the man's body shifts while he's speaking, the chains on his legs chink against the large ancient table. *

Beltruckus · 09-15-2003, 02:19 PM

Kentelos wondering if this will work says quickly

"We have come to rescue you!!"

he looks at his mates with a shrug..

Bob Biter · 09-15-2003, 03:11 PM

"Enough of this..."

As Vinoh speaks these words, he moves between the chained man and the rope. He doesn't wish to use his powers on such a frail, helpless old man, but also wants to avoid any surprises. Keeping his paralysis power at the ready, the mind mage addresses the man:

"What kind of master keeps his accountant chained to a desk in such a place? What kind of loyalty does this inspire? Please, sir, tell us how you fell upon such misfortune and perhaps we can help each other..."

redravin40 · 09-15-2003, 03:31 PM

Looking over the scene the portly monk is worried.
Freeing this man seems to be a iffy proposition at best.
Who knows what forces would be released if the chains were cut?
Opening his pouch he takes a small heart made of hammered gold with two long strings attached each capped with a glittering bead.

It was a marker used by the monks when they were illuminating texts.
It also had the power to counter the evil powers of some written words.
Using his staff to block the chained man he sets the marker on the pages on the table.

GoldenOuroboros · 09-15-2003, 03:50 PM

"Ok.. so I don't sounds like your master.." Darghon shrugs and raises an eyebrow.. "But like my friend here said.. Why are you chained here and for what purpose indeed?"

Minx · 09-15-2003, 06:45 PM

While listening to the conversation being carried on, D'Aleen continues to scan the dark corners of the room, taking in all the scrolls and ancient texts. This has the feel of a trap to her, and she was worried that this was just another means to delay and distract them. Noticing the Father place some sort of object on the paperwork she hopes that he will be able to discover a few clues to aid them.

Not trusting this apparently frail, old man and his loyalties she now turns her gaze upon him and gets ready for any surprises he may have in store for them.

rogue49 · 09-15-2003, 09:34 PM

* At the sudden move of Vinoh towards him,
the frail man is startled in fright and pulls on the rope next to him.
At that yank, a TREMENDOUSLY LOUD gong reverberates throughout the castle.
And now the man shivers, tightly grasping the rope.

And the gong's tone fades, there is deadly silence,
except for the fast breathing of the pale fellow...

"Don't hurt me!, Don't hurt me!
Oh Master, please protect me!"

his voice trembling... *

GoldenOuroboros · 09-15-2003, 10:22 PM

Darghon swears in his native tongue of Draconian/Elvish, the elves and anyone else able to speak it understanding him "..This is bad peeps" Darghon grabs his hilt and holds onto ready to activate it.. Looking to the old man.. "we weren't goin to hurt you.. we're sorry we startled you.. but now I think we're all in abit of trouble.."

Darkblack · 09-16-2003, 06:01 AM

A slight grin crosses Sparrows face. He places his hand on the hilt of his sword ready to unsheathe it at the first sign of danger. He listens carefully for any sound of something approaching. "Be ready friends." He says quietly.

krazixs · 09-16-2003, 06:42 AM

Krazixs is still standing at the back of the group his short stature has made him unable to see the owner of the voice that seems so frightened. As the loud gong echoes throughout the castle, the small elf feels the tension growing among his companions. Still a little unsure of what is going on the elf prepares for anything.

rogue49 Loser	A small palid man, with drawn dark eyes looks up from his writing squinting "hmm? eh? Master is that you? I've got those new counts you wanted." His voice is faded & stretched. Last edited by rogue49; 09-15-2003 at 05:55 AM..

krazixs Psycho Location: courtin in the kitchen	Krazixs stands at the back of the group, still in the hall where they found Sparrow, unable to see what is going on inside the small room. __________________ The Kender in your party has just screamed in fear.

Darkblack Banned Location: Pennsytuckia	Sparrow whispers to the group, "Do you think he is a spirit? A ghost?" he looks closer at the man at the desk again trying to find a clue to what he is and what he is counting.

Cubby Insane Location: BC, Canada	(OOC: Sorry I was away for the weekend and didn't get a chance to connect.) Seeing the strange man, Thantos had moved out of sight until the others arrived. Hearing the man speak to Darghon that way, Thantos whispers to Darghon... "Play along Darghon...pretend you are his master...ask him about the counts and tell him to be specific." __________________ Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted!

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	Darghon looks at the man not stepping any closer in case he recognises him and trying his best 'evil voice' "Yes give me the counts" Darghon shows an expression of anger as if he'd been waiting too long for the counts as an evil master might do "Tell me what the counts refer to and how many there are while you do it and make it quick.." __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

rogue49 Loser	The frail man's brow furrows, and his eyes open wide... "What?! Do you take me for a fool?! It's one thing when I'm distracted from my work to be mistaken, but it's another to mistake the Master's voice. Who are you intruders? Quickly, answer! I won't tolerate any mincing of words." As the man's body shifts while he's speaking, the chains on his legs chink against the large ancient table.

Beltruckus Psycho Location: Salt Lake City	Kentelos wondering if this will work says quickly "We have come to rescue you!!" he looks at his mates with a shrug.. __________________ The most important things are the hardest things to say.

Bob Biter Non-smokers die everyday Location: Montreal	"Enough of this..." As Vinoh speaks these words, he moves between the chained man and the rope. He doesn't wish to use his powers on such a frail, helpless old man, but also wants to avoid any surprises. Keeping his paralysis power at the ready, the mind mage addresses the man: "What kind of master keeps his accountant chained to a desk in such a place? What kind of loyalty does this inspire? Please, sir, tell us how you fell upon such misfortune and perhaps we can help each other..." __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

redravin40 Loser Location: With Jadzia	Looking over the scene the portly monk is worried. Freeing this man seems to be a iffy proposition at best. Who knows what forces would be released if the chains were cut? Opening his pouch he takes a small heart made of hammered gold with two long strings attached each capped with a glittering bead. It was a marker used by the monks when they were illuminating texts. It also had the power to counter the evil powers of some written words. Using his staff to block the chained man he sets the marker on the pages on the table.

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	"Ok.. so I don't sounds like your master.." Darghon shrugs and raises an eyebrow.. "But like my friend here said.. Why are you chained here and for what purpose indeed?" __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!
