Subject: Watch out... Author: Darksong [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:50:40 07/14/04 Wed The black vixen comes in. She isn't currently a member of the Fortress, but who cares? Her yellow eyes gleam with anticipation as she looks around the room. Her left paw caresses the pouches at her belt. Who knows what is in them? The dagger stowed almost inside her brown shirt looks a little threatening - though not too much. And what about that strange stiff thin rope hanging from her belt? Who knows... The vixen walks into the room. She doesn't know if anyone will challenge her. Maybe they just don't want to tangle at the moment. She stalks along the wall, keeping the the shadows. As an assassin, she is anti-social. Prefers to kill quietly. but she needs a little practice out-and-open. Finding the darkest corner, she leans against it, her narrowed yellow eyes glittering. She hopes she isn't too intimidating. Her mouih wrinkles in a humorless smirk. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date A male ferret, also not a part of Fortress Zion but still wanting to tangle, walks up to Darksong. "Looks like your hankering after a fight!" he snaps. "I know you, Darksong!" Ranna; 14:57:41 07/14/04 Wed OOC: we're on at the same time! IC: Darksong's ears go rigid with sudden surprise. Then she thrusts herself from the wall and goes eye-to-eye with Rannal. "I know you too, ferret. You've beat me once, but not again!" Her paw darts to her dagger hilt. "Perhaps you'd like a new friend. I can introduce you quite quickly." (NT) Darksong, IC and OOC 14:59:54 07/14/04 Wed OOC: yah, we are! IC: Rannal pushes his face close to Darksong's, his eyes narrowed into slits. He grabs the hilt of his own dagger. "I'll fight you, daughter of black crows!" (NT) Rannal 15:01:42 07/14/04 Wed Darksong bristles with fury. "Daughter of toads! Well, Rannal, be prepared. Be VERY prepared." She draws her dagger and steps back a bit. "I've seen you around, ferret. You fight like a lousy mouse. Come and meet me!" (NT) Darksong 15:03:11 07/14/04 Wed Rannal snarls and lunges for her. "I'm prepared!" he spits. Suddenly he draws up short and ducks low, hoping to grab Darksong's leg, and hopefully break it. (NT) Rannal 15:04:40 07/14/04 Wed Darksong was actually going to dodge to the side as Rannal would have swooped past. She could have then easily dispatched him with a blow to the back. But as Rannal and dived for her leg, the vixen had already sprung out of the way. Her surprise made her slower, but Rannal missed by three inches. Assuming the ferret would fall flat, she jabbed downward hard at his back. (NT) Darksong 15:06:40 07/14/04 Wed Rannal fell flat as he missed. Cursing, he flipped over quicly, knowing that Darksong would try to stab him. He was right. The dagger thudded into his left shoulder. The ferret let out a shriek and wrenched free from the dagger. (By the way, I have a dirk and crossbow hidden somewhere on me.) He sprang up, dashed away five paces, turned, grabbed his crossbow, fitted a bolt, and fired at Darksong. Rannal 15:19:28 07/14/04 Wed Darksong let out a screech and ducked. Considering that it wasn't very useful, for bolts travel at almost the speed of a bullet. Darksong knew that, but it was an instinct to duck. The bolt thudded into her shoulder and she let out a scream. By sheer willpower she managed to pull it out. Weakly she lifted her paw and hurled her dagger at Rannal. (NT) Darksong 15:39:25 07/14/04 Wed The ferret easily dodged the weakly thrown dagger. Knowing Darksong could probably not dodge a bolt a second time, already weak from her pain, he stowed the crossbow beneath his cloak and stood watching his rival. That was the one thing that bothered him - no killing on this board. But he could wait for her to attack. (NT) Rannal 15:50:52 07/14/04 Wed Darksong pretends the pain is much worse than it really is. Which is hard to do. She grasps her shoulder, while the other paw retreats to one of her pouches and grips it, as if for something to grasp in her pain. Suddenly the paws digs into the pouch and comes up with a small pinch of powder. Before Rannal can react, she rips a piece from her cloak, puts the powder on it, spits on the powder, and blows. A flame at least nine feet long shoots out toward Rannal. (NT) Darksong 16:45:02 07/14/04 Wed Rannal yelps with surprise as the flame catches a corner of his cloak. He tears off the cloak and throws it on the ground, stamping on the flames hard to smother them. The flames go out quickly, but there is a new light in Rannal's eyes: one of fear. Recovering from his momentary shock, he grabs his dagger and throws it at Darksong's head. (NT) Rannal 16:47:06 07/14/04 Wed Darksong tries to dodge the dagger, but a sudden pain lances through her shoulder. The dagger hisses past her ear, slicing into it. Darksong screeches as it nicks her ear deeply. She reaches for a pouch again, stops, and then backs away two paces. "Rannal," she hisses. "I might be hurt, but come and get me. I can't get over there and you know it. Why don't you come closer?" (NT) Darksong 16:56:19 07/14/04 Wed It's a challenge Rannal can't refuse. He knows Darksong is up to something, but he doesn't know what. Picking up Darksong's dagger, the ferret walks to a space within five feet of her and snaps, "I'm here. What is it, you red-shouldered toad?" His paw strays to the spot inside his cloak where his crossbow is located. (NT) Rannal 17:21:36 07/14/04 Wed Darksong eyed Rannal, watching him eye for eye. Her own yellow eyes narrowed into slits, holding Rannal in their gaze. "You think I'm up to something," the vixen states in a low dangerous voice. "You always were so discerning." The blood ekks from her shoulder steadily but the vixen ignores it - outwardly. With a sudden snarl, she lunges forward and lashes out with a quick right paw. (NT) Darksong 17:44:26 07/14/04 Wed Rannal yelps hard as the paw smashes him across the cheek. Angrily she jab at her stomach with the dagger. (NT) -- Rannal, 17:45:03 07/14/04 Wed Darksong shifts, not a moment too soon. She had been expecting this. The dagger embedded itself two inches off her left side right above her hip. The vixen gave a snarl which was more like a screech and staggered backwards, not bothering to retaliate. (NT) -- Darksong, 17:46:27 07/14/04 Wed Rannal grabbed at the opprotunity. He sprang at Darksong, trying to stab her again. (NT) Rannal 20:38:10 07/14/04 Wed Darksong became as angry as a wet cat. Spouting blood or not, she dodged Rannal's dagger with the skill of a Dibbun escaping a bath. Lossening the noose from her belt, she flipped it over Rannal's head and jerked hard. Darksong 21:23:37 07/14/04 Wed Rannal chokes and splutters as the noose tighters swiftly. It isn't a regular rope, but a thin tight-woven one, so it cuts into his throat. The ferret drops the dagger and reaches toward his neck, desperatly grabbling at the noose. -- Rannal, 21:24:59 07/14/04 Wed Darksong sneers in the ferret's ear. "Too bad here we can't kill each other off," she hisses angrily, drawing the noose tighter as Rannal gasps. Finally, with a dark look on her face, she loosens the noose and slips it from the ferret's head. "Fight's over. I could have slain you, so you're defeated now." -- Darksong, 21:26:44 07/14/04 Wed Rannal collapses to the floor in a choking fit. Once over, he glares up at Darksong. "Terrible vixen! You may have lured me here, lusting for a fight, but it won't happen again! I'll kill you the next time!" The ferret gets up and limps away. -- Rannal, 21:28:34 07/14/04 Wed Darksong watches the ferret go. They were sworn enemies - so what? She'd kill the ferret someday. Grasping her shoulder and side, she managed to pick up the dagger and stagger away - gracefully. The fight had barely lasted a few minutes, but she was glad for wounding Rannal. Another notch in her pole of victories. -- Darksong, 21:30:25 07/14/04 Wed
