Captive-Chapter 5: Morning Aftermath of Impending Doom

[DameonRules]

Dameon's blades deliver death whenever they are swng. When he hears the outraged cry of the matron mother he moves closer to her. almost getting to her back he deflects a bolt that was aimed for the mother.

Seeing the earth elemental take shape dameon shouts "This ones mine. Swift death to our enemies."

Dameon attacks with such a feroucity that the elemental stubbles backwards confused. It knows that no drow should be able to hurt it. Yet here was ones who great blades where taking chunks out of his skin. It tries a few swings at his attacker. missing him both times he swung.

Dameon's blades work fast and furiously. Making great slashes with his blades. Each time they bite into the elmentals skin dameon wincies, konwing its going to be a pain to fix his blades after this battle.

Dameon had just completed getting off the elementals arm at the elbow when a bolt comes flying in from the walls. "drop a globe of darkness on top of me. i can finish this thing off in the complete dark."

When the globe was dropped on dameon the batte around the mothers kinda dies down trying to make sense of the noise coming from inside the globe. grunts of anger and frustation come from the elemental. while nothing is heard but the constant thump of blades hitting earth.

Finally wih a great roar from dameon one thump sounds. followed a short while later by a second more distinct thud. Dameon walks out of the globe "it is done, lets finish this so i can get a drink."

Seeing her elemental defeated by a lone drow warrior the rival matron mother growls with frustration.

Shadow stops and checks around a corner, trying to tell friend from foe. He sees a group of four drow warriors standing in front of a closed door.
"Well if they still have four guards there after they are attacked there must be something of value in there, its time to be payed."

Shadow decides he is going to have to use some magic, he thinks through his short list of memorized spells. After making his decision and planning the attack he draws one of his throwing daggers and steps around the corner.

His arm jerks forward and sends the dagger flying, not waiting to see if the dagger hit its mark he sends a few magic missiles flying towards another target and then ducks back around the corner.

Placing his ear to the wall Shadow listens to see what reaction his attack has provoked. He hears two people running towards him and concludes his attacks were sucessful. He stands and the first drow is met by a slashing blade, and the second by a dagger's point.

Shadow steps over the corpses and walks towards the room to see what it contains.

Originally posted by Lady Blue03: ooc-me, leave a sig intentionally? never! *snickers* Verloren brings her horse inside because she can, silly goose! He can walk up stairs and manuever just as well inside a house than he could on an open battle field Alliene's swords are named Nizzre and Vilzraquath, lightning and ice. Verloren's swords are Isan and Isak, ice and lightning. And remember, its not Veloren, its Verloren, you keep leaving out the 'r' [img]tongue.gif[/img] Also, I noticed in that 'invitation only' RP, they put the translations at the bottom of their posts. Lets start doing that.

*sigh* Of COURSE you wouldn't intentionally leave a sig, LB. . Bring her horse in because she can... *shrug* if you like, I was just concerened about the horse talking an arrow though the neck or something. hmm, sword names, I'll refer back to this; btw, is my roleplaying of your two characters in character? If you know what I mean.

*looks at spelling and bangs head on desk* I knew it didn't quite look right spelling Verloren "Veloren", I'll go back and edit my posts at some point. When I have time, must dash, College... already late...

and about translations, "yes mistress lb" [img]tongue.gif[/img] I suppose you'd like all of those in for this chapter as well, fine again, when I have time... also I'll add an IC when I have time...

Calaethis having returned to where his cousin said to meet, glanced around, she wasn't there. He shrugged and scouted around... Meanwhile, Alliene was checking the corpse of the mage, and found a wand of fire (two charges left) and a couple of magic missle scrolls. She sneered at this, finding it sickening that 1st House couldn't equip their mages decently. There was nothing else of value except a piece of parchement, with orders on: l'elg'caress lueth ilta inbau orn inbau wu'suul - mir mina tir; dosst dron orn sila bashuk ulu ust qu'ellar Alliene shook her head and left the room, catching up with Verloren, who was waiting outside. Verloren looked around and asked "Wheres Calaethis?" Before Alliene could answer, a grinning Calaethis appeared out of the shadows and replied "Did someone call me?" Alliene shook her head and muttered a few choice curse words. Calaethis's eyes grew wide at his cousin's choice of language, but before he could make a pert comment, Verloren cut him off, "Now is not the time Calaethis - lets get going. We still have to breech the inner sections of the House. Windshadow snorted his agreement, and Calaethis nodded. The three (five including the horse and Sheverash), moved deeper into First House; they were past the boundary for the slave quaters now. It would be more difficult from now on. The party dissapeared into the darkness... *

Translation:

l'elg'caress lueth ilta inbau orn inbau wu'suul - mir mina tir; dosst dron orn sila bashuk ulu ust qu'ellar
the bitch and her get will get inside - hold them off; your lives will bring honour to First House.

* Should be noted that after the rest of you post, and progress into the 1st house, (whos name LB will really have to tell me... I cant call it "first house" ALL of the time...), Alliene & co will go deeper into 1st House and into the inner chambers. I would say it'd be about 4 more posts (on my part) until they breech the heart of the House. Assuming I don't make any side trips, which I will do if the rest of your are being too slow , Hmm, maybe six more posts, I can make it less if this (the most important battle that everything has been leading up to, but no more hints) gets boring, but... I'd suggest you try to achieve your obejectives within the next five posts so I can bring Alliene & co to the final "Boss" Battle, (with 1st house). What do you think LB? Does six more posts to breech the biggest 1st house sound about right?

There should be more resistance, but 1st house has been caught unaware with most of its troops out of postion (my excuse at least) also, be wary, because there are bands of drow about, patrols of about 5 or 6, including a mage and possibly a cleric. Also, the "inner sanctum" is more heavily guarded; as the slave quaters - the bit we've breeched arnt worth protecting that well. Wouldn't you agree LB?

Is this all satisfactory so far LB?

ooc:seems that Calaethis has changed my subplot for me, so it works Thankyou!!! guess I don't need the gold chain anymore [img]tongue.gif[/img]

ic:Khalraan led Damion through house streea to some large doors.
'C'mon, lets go swimming!'
Khalraan had always used swimming as a replacement for washing, which he hated, and found that he could clean himself without the tiresome scrubbing.
Stripping off he ran and cannonballed the water, splashing Damion all over.
Laughing he swam around, and beckoned for Damion to join him.
'We gotta look nice 'n clean for when they come back to make up for all the stuff we broke, jump in!'

[Lady Blue03]

ooc-Travis, seeing as Matron Shelarth is not your creation, you cannot have her flee, especially because it interrupts my plot. Ammend your post ASAP.

Calaethis-The House we are battling is House Shelarth 6 posts sounds fine to me. You're RPing my characters just fine, so don't you worry about that. And Wind Shadow's skin acts as +2 armour. He wouldn't be a war stallion otherwise

Matron Streea cursed to herself. She had never bothered to memorize a Summon Diva spell, and those creatures would be more than help here. Almost a pity her daughter was inside with her Summon Planetar spells. Not to mention that Dragon Breath...shaking her head, she split her remaining warriors, Maidens, and mages into seperate groups, each headed by at least one Maiden,
"Zexen'uma pholor dosst yiben lueth udos orn inbal ultrinnan," she sent them off patrolling and gathered the remaining around her. Spells like that of the Hand Maiden's were cast by her onto her warriors, and a few special mage spells from her Head Mage, Kr'athin dosst drewstin wlalths," she told him, and he nodded. Urging her party foward, herself at the head, she moved in front of Dameon and stared defiantly into Shelarth's face, "Dosst draeval d'ust qu'ellar unl'r nin, orbb siltrin" Shelarth's eyes widened at the obvious curse to Lloth. Then she snarled,
"Udos orn kyorl, shinduago kyuvr!"
Streea returned the snarl at the affront to her daughter. She hefted her 6 headed flail, her eyes shining wrath. Shelarth brought forward her own enchanted mace. At a quick signal from Streea, the Mage cast Breach on Shelarth, dispelling all of her magical enchantments. The Matron only had time to gasp in surprise before Matron Streea lept forward, swinging her flail. Warriors of both sides watched them in wonder before noticing one another, and soon after the battle had resumed, Streea and Shelarth fighting relentlessly in the middle.

Keeshe edged around the base of the tower, heading slowly towards the din of battle. Matron Shelarth had given him the most important task: assassinate the Matron Streea. He gripped his poisoned dagger, staying with the shadows, moving without a sound. There. As his Matron had said, she had manuevered herself close to the wall, so that he would not have to betray his precense in his act. Matron Streea appeared to have the upper hand; her unbending will beat mercilessly down on Shelarth, who blocks were getting weaker by the move. He had to act now, or Streea would kill Shelarth and slip away before he could catch her. Holding his breath, less than a foot from Matron Streea, he froze for an instant as his own Matron screamed, the heads of Matron's Streea's 6 headed flail crushing Shelarth's skull. Quickly regaining himself, he jumped out of the shadows and dug his poisoned blade into Matron Streea's neck. She screamed and whirled around, hand on the hilt of his dagger. Her warriors, hearing her cry, saw him and no less than 5 arrows pierced his chest. The last thing his saw before his eyes clouded over, was the Matron Streea next to him, her eyes already glazed.

Claws digging into the hard stone easily, Avalon craned his neck down to survey the battle below him. Swords still clashed, but something seemed amiss. It looked as if the battle was in their favor. With a growl, he smashed his tail hard into the side of the tower. It rumbled under the force of the blow, chunks falling away. Zachana, on the other side, simply melted the rock with her acid as she climbed sinuously. Snorting frost, he contined his destruction of the tower.

Translations

Zexen'uma pholor dosst yiben lueth udos orn inbal ultrinnan=Stay on your toes, and we will have victory

Udos orn kyorl, shinduago kyuvr!=We will see, surface breeder!

Aeris after finsihing off the meddling mages who had attempted to kill him made his way through the house trying to find Alliene's group. As he turn a corner a drow jumped on his back from above.The drow had yet to unsheath his blade.Before he had the chance Aeris dropped backwards ramming the drow into the ground. Aeris jumped up and stabbed his longsword into the drow's neck making the kill swift and easy.He was in no mood to be stalled. As he ran through the a couple of corridors encountering a few drow.

OOC: AH! I'm so confused! Is Alliene with Streea? Where is everybody!? AH!! HELP ME!! AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG!? AH! ....Sorry.Somebody please tell me where Alliene is?I feel safer with her around Aeris.Because I get confsued when he is separated from the group. Sorry guys.

[Calaethis Dragonsbane]

***ooc, good. btw, shall we wait for Skye n the others to post before *cough* letting em in on our little secret/surprise. Btw, does Travish know? It'd be more fun to keep it a secret. btw, 6 *proper* posts ***

They entered the outer rim of House Shelarth; the true part of it. Alliene guestured to the others to split up and scout... which they did. They hid from patrols and reported back; there were several choices of rooms to choose... They took the right one...

*add to this later*

Aeris? erm, he can be... why not look for Skye? Take out the drow armouries as an objective if you need one. Alliene, Verloren and Calaethis are going to assassinate the drow handmaiden - please dont interfere, you'd ruin the subplot... if you meet up with Alliene, she'll give you orders and tell you to leave - its too dangerous to be around her...

Shadow walks over to the door the drow ere guarding and tries the door, locked of course. He places his ear to the door and doesn't hear anything so he withdrawls his thief tools and sets to work on the lock.

[Skydracgrrl]

ooc- damn, I'm away for a few days and already people are hatching plots [img]tongue.gif[/img] too bad i have such an awful curiousity.. [img]graemlins/bigeyesad.gif[/img]

ic- Skye cursed softly to herself, tiptoeing around in the dark corridors. She didn't like to kill, but those male drow deserved it. Her eyes narrowed with anger and pain. She disliked races who looked down on others like that. Skye clutched her upper arm with a small wince, remembering the small knife the last male drow had thrown at her. 'Tch, thought he was dead too,' she thought to herself with disgust. It was her own fault, and she felt utterly humiliated that she had made such a stupid mistake. 'Just hope it wasn't poisoned...' she thought with a shudder, though from fear or the sudden chill she felt, Skye did not know.

Elsewhere...

Damion dived in under Khalraan, and pulled him under the water. "Surprise!" he shouted with glee. "What should we do when they get back?" he asked Khalraan, who was spluttering after getting dunked by the younger drow child.

ooc- secrets are no good unless you tell everyone!

[DameonRules]

Seeing the matron Streea take a dagger, dameon goes into a fit or rage fighting his way to the mother. He didn't have a chance to check on her, becuase seeing the matron Streea fall they see a way for an easy kill. All the enemy drow converge on the fallen mother to make sure she stays down. the bodies of enemy drow pile up around dameon. His blades are whirling bringers of death. A enemy drow almost gets to the mother with a dagger, until dameon sends his knee into the head of the drow throwing him 6 feet away into another enemy drow. "Cleric we need a cleric right now!" Dameon shouts.
