• Catica seemed wary to enter it at first, and so did Breema, who usually saw such hidden things well before it was right there. Even with that, Breema entered timidly and Catica followed behind trying to remember when the last time she sharpened her dagger was. (NT) -- Breema and Catica, 14:17:27 04/19/05 Tue
• OOC: He he I don't have any clue where I'm going with any of this. BIC: Phoenix entered in behind her two friends. Once inside Spectra touched several silver orbs which imediately filled the room with light. "Feel free to make yourselves at home. We have much to talk about." she indicated several worn wooden chairs. Taking the orb from Phoenix she asks the two "Have you activated it? Or noticed anything strange happening since you found it?" (NT) -- Spectra and Phoenix, 06:27:30 04/20/05 Wed
  • Catica timidly peers at Spectra. "why would something odd occur with the orb? What exactly does it do?" With that question in the air, she walks over to one of the chairs and sits down lightly with Breema curling about her feet. (NT) -- Catica and Breema, 13:18:33 04/29/05 Fri
• Spectra replied, "The orb gives off magical engery. It can rub off on you hand and clothes and sometime has a negative effect. Other times it seems to give the people to handle it the temporary ability to use magic." (NT) -- Spectra, 05:44:12 05/01/05 Sun
  • "Do you believe it has done that with us?" Catica halfheartedly replies as ashe becomes entranced with a tapestry of old Carnerik that hangs from the wall in front of her. (NT) -- Catica, 16:15:24 05/12/05 Thu
• "I wouldn't have asked you if I didn't think that there was a danger." Spectra replied while digging through a cabinet. (NT) -- Spectra, 03:55:28 05/13/05 Fri
• Catica stands up to take a closer look at hte map. "Well I haven't seen anything that unusual, except that we were able to partly uncode what was said." "I have a strange question to ask you, why do you have this portion of the map highlighted?" She points to an area in the deep forest that has few paths as few know of its existence (NT) -- Catica, 13:07:05 05/21/05 Sat
  • Spectra stood up from the cupboard. "Those are the paths that I use for my sorcery. Some are the ones that I need for spell ingredients, others are good places for rituals." Spectra began "Being able to uncode parts of the orb is not unusual. It is written in simply ancient carnerik script. I am glad that the orb has not caused any...trouble though." (NT) -- Spectra, 14:25:34 05/22/05 Sun
  • "How did you come to find such places? I don't really understand what she and I have to do with this orb. Do we leave it with you, or do you need our help?" Catica hesitates, "what kind of trouble would it have caused?" (NT) -- Catica, 15:17:24 05/31/05 Tue
• OOC: Somehow whenever I play a NP character or Fate my other character seems to be unusually quite. Sorry if Phoenix seems a little dead. I'm trying to work on it. BIC: Spectra looked amused, "Would I need /your/ help? No but you are welcome to come along for the ride." she paused "If the orb had stayed in Carnerik for long the results could have been catastrauphic (sp?). The whole of carnerik would be affected by strange magical occurance and if there for long enough the results could become permanent. Carnerik could even be destroyed. This orb brings Chaos wherever it goes. I thought that there was a lot that I would be able to learn from it but at last I have decided that it needs to be destroyed. The ruins that you read on the orb are often different depending on who holds it or who is reading it." Phoenix listened enthralled. Magical things had always interested her and one day she hoped to learn magic herself. (NT) -- Us, 05:48:10 06/01/05 Wed
  • OOC: school is over!! my brother is married! and I'm finally back in town. (even though I will be gone a week next monday)sorry. BIC: "So where are you taking it to destroy it? It seems to me that there is probably a special way to do that. Since it is an orb of chaos, how do you know what to do to destroy it? It could outstep your moves if you aren't careful." (NT) -- Catica, 16:58:03 06/16/05 Thu
• "Well of course we'll have to take certain /precautions/. The place that we are taking the orb is a place where magic cannot be used. However, the journery there will be dangerous and the orb will most likely try to escape its fate." Spectra explained (NT) -- Spectra, 18:39:38 06/20/05 Mon
  • "and where are we taking it?" Catica was ready to get this thing out of her life as quickly as possible. OOC: I really do come into town every now and then, but I'm now swamped with rehearsals for beauty and the beast, but I'm still here (NT) -- Catica, 22:55:34 07/10/05 Sun
    • OOC: That's ok. BIC: "The place is called Ledi." Spectra said simply feeling no need to explain further. Are the two of you planning to join me?" Phoenix glanced at Catica and finally said "I'd like to come." (NT) -- Us, 11:52:45 07/11/05 Mon
    • "I'm right there with you. This might have impending doom attached, but it is an adventure none-the-less. We found it, so i intend to see it to the end." Breema jumps up from the floor and stands ready to go alongside Catica (NT) -- Catica and Breema, 15:01:18 07/18/05 Mon
• Spectra nodded at the two of them. She was glad of the assistance but her outward appearance did not show it. "Why don't the two of you start gathering supplies" (NT) -- Spectra, 11:36:05 08/16/05 Tue
  • Catica takes the time to check her dagger and then goes to the kitchen cupboard looking for food for this now spicy expedition. After doing so she picks up everyithng and says, "well I'm ready, so lets get to it shall we?" (NT) -- CAtica, 07:05:51 09/14/05 Wed

• The Spiral of Paradise. Way to get here, you can almost wake up! Due to length and the fact that this post will DEFINITELY require paragraphs to post properly, it's inside. I realize this is confusing. Don't worry too much about it. It'll either make sense later or it won't. -- Fate, 13:09:14 04/13/05 Wed
  • OOC: You're right. That was confusing. I think I get it though... BIC: Kia glanced at their surroundings. She didn't like this place where ever it was. She looked at the others to see what they would do because she had no idea. (NT) -- Kia, 05:10:34 04/14/05 Thu
  • Ario moved to stand next to Guide again and asked, "Is there anything I can to do help?" (NT) -- Ario, 05:11:39 04/14/05 Thu
  • Naverin is awed by what she just experienced and wondered exactly what this place was. "how far can we wander?" With that question in the air, she begins to move upward in the hazing above. "tis quite different from up here." To her, everything seems a little skewed from this perspective. (NT) -- Naverin, 14:30:21 04/14/05 Thu
  • OOC: Hee hee hee! AP! AP! Long live summer! BIC: Guide shakes her head slowly, 'I don't think we are supposed to be here. I've seen this place once before, and I think I know what to do. If my memory serves me, then the Swamp is...' she closes her eyes. The air around her hums faintly, and appears to shimmer, 'Ah.' she looks up and turns around, 'It is this way. If we can locate the Swamp, then you can all wake up. You will be safer on the real planes.' She starts to walk. Walking is strange, since the ground appears to be wherever the walker thinks it should be. Guide walks at least 3 feet below where Kia stands, at an angle to how Naverin stands, and far above where Chaos rests. (NT) -- Fate, 11:04:35 04/27/05 Wed
• Chaos stands up and starts to follow Guide. After a while he runs ahead and up to one of the spheres. "Hey! What are these things?" Unless stopped, he starts to punch one of them, to see what it would do. (NT) -- Chaos, 11:29:33 04/27/05 Wed
• Kia follows aboves Guide. She was ready to get out of this strange dimension and return to normality. (NT) -- Kia, 09:12:37 04/28/05 Thu
  • Guide doesn't seem to notice Chaos as she walks passed. Chaos manages to punch through one of the spheres, and it feels like punching water, without the splash coming out. His arm simply sinks into the sphere, although after about three inches it stops being water and just feels like warm, stale air. 'Each sphere is a dream,' Guide says to him, as if it explained anything. (NT) -- Fate, 07:47:59 04/29/05 Fri
  • "so he just punched a dream? Does that mean that suddenly while that person was sleeping, a giant fist appeared over head? With that, Naverin walked "up" to where there was another spherical haze and begins circling it. (NT) -- Naverin, 13:25:30 04/29/05 Fri
• Ario wandered after Guide. /Silly humans messing with dreams/ he thought. (NT) -- Ario, 05:45:45 05/01/05 Sun
• Kia, too, went up to a dream to further explore the curious object. (NT) -- Kia, 04:03:14 05/03/05 Tue
  • Lialye stops to look at the nearest sphere. "Dreams, hmm?" she muses aloud, warily poking the bubble with her walking stick. "Interesting...whose dreams, I wonder?" (NT) -- Lialye, 19:48:24 05/03/05 Tue
• 'My thoughts exactly, little one,' Guide bemusedly replies to Ario. She stops and sits down, 'Still, if we don't allow them their fun then they'll get it some other way.' She speaks for all to hear, 'Chaos did...punch a dream, as you say, but it might not be what you are thinking. All people dream, but did you ever feel cramped when you were asleep? You may take a peek inside one of these dreams, but try and be quick about it. This place is for Dreamwalkers, not travelers like ourselves.' (OOC inside) -- Fate, 16:09:44 05/04/05 Wed
  • Kia went up closer to one of the dreams, "How do you look inside a dream?" she asked? (NT) -- Kia, 04:14:54 05/05/05 Thu
  • Naverin hears the guide and stops peering at the dream. Well if we aren't meant for this place, then what about us getting on the journey we are meant for? I think it is high time we return to the others. OOC: AP tests are FINISHED AT LAST!! (NT) -- Naverin, 16:19:59 05/12/05 Thu
    • Naverin begins to search the area they entered. "Is there a portal around here to exit as we entered, or how do we go back?" (NT) -- Naverin, 13:08:43 05/21/05 Sat
      • "Naverin has a point," Lialye says quietly, turning away from the dream-bubble. "We should get out of here and get back to whatever we're supposed to be doing..." (NT) -- Lialye, 07:17:33 05/23/05 Mon
• Kia backed away from the dream once she was satisfied with examining the outside of it. Walking back to Naverin and Lialye she asked, "And what are we supposed to be doing? Some wolf things drag us out here to help them with something we know practically nothing about." (NT) -- Kia, 05:10:16 05/26/05 Thu
  • "I came as support to my friends. I figured this might be an interesting way to spend my time, but if we can't even complete our mission, our time seems to be going in a pointless circle." Naverin begins to look around more frantically for a way out of this place. (NT) -- Naverin, 15:14:21 05/31/05 Tue
    • OOC: is anyone left on this post?? I know I'm not hte best at checking, but it has been over a month. It would be nice to hear from someone (NT) -- Naverin's crazed creator, 23:01:19 07/10/05 Sun
      • OOC: Kinda hard when Fate's dead too though. I mean it's been a long time since I've been on too. If you like check out I'm trying to get it active with a few members. (NT) -- Kia, 11:38:50 08/16/05 Tue
        • OOC: is anyone really playing the site? I know I haven't bee on since school started again so I don't really know what is happening with a once glorious campaign. What to do, what to do? (NT) -- Naverins creator, 07:07:46 09/14/05 Wed

• Skye watched Chaftar for a few moments as if evaluating what would be the best way to approach to attack again. A light breeze kicked up the dust at Skye's feet giving her an idea. Almost unconciously she built up a medium-sized pile of dust at her feet and then without warning she kicked the pile. It rose in a cloud of dust making it difficult to see Skye, however as she ran towards Chaftar her footsteps could still be easily heard. She ran on intending to grab Chaftar by the shoulders and knee him in the stomach if she could find him in the cloud. (NT) -- Skye, 16:12:51 04/09/05 Sat
• Kraven elected to take a few steps back, falling once again into the most relaxed pose you've ever seen on a standing man. It looks like he could fall---or melt at any moment. (NT) -- Fate, 11:51:51 04/13/05 Wed
• Nia carefully regarded Kravens posture, hardly about to attack someone who looked that relaxed couldn't be trusted. (NT) -- Nia, 02:39:12 04/14/05 Thu
• Chaftar saw the dust coming and covered his eyes. instinctively he ducked and lunged toward one side. OOC: hey guys... sory im not going to be able to post a lot... im just kind of preoccupied (NT) -- chaftar, 18:52:01 04/23/05 Sat
• OOC: I don't mind if it's a while between your posts...but please give me nice long posts that I can work with! BIC: The dust settled and Skye looked around. It was easy to figure out what Chaftar had done and it had been effective. She turned to face him and waited for him to make the next move. (NT) -- Skye, 04:13:23 04/25/05 Mon
• Chaftar looked around at the others in the clearing. "im not the one to end a fight but of course bare fisted isn't really my style. and fighting girls doesn't tickle me either. you guys up for a stall?" (NT) -- Chaftar, 19:48:07 04/25/05 Mon
• OOC: Humor a newbie, what's a stall? (NT) -- Nia, 01:14:14 04/26/05 Tue

• Could everyone join me in an OOC for a moment? -- Fate's Player, 11:59:27 03/07/05 Mon
  • OOC: Chaos and Terra and exempt from voting, so it's up to the rest of you to decide. (NT) -- Mayhem, 12:10:35 03/07/05 Mon
  • I, myself, would like to keep going until the end despite the slow pace. I have chars on other boards so I'm not in a big hurry but I'm still enjoying this despite the slowness of it all. (NT) -- Ario and Kia, 14:37:08 03/07/05 Mon
  • I would like to continue. I've been busy lately (school!), which shows in the slowness of my replies. But I can reply faster. (NT) -- Lunae, 21:01:44 03/07/05 Mon
  • I'm with them. I know I really have been a flake with school, but i really like the story. I'm sure we can figure out the plot. Don't give up so easily. Anyways, thats me. (NT) -- Naverin, 17:06:16 03/09/05 Wed
  • Since everyone seems in agreement, that's fine. We'll keep trodding along. I confess, I really like the plot too. I spent a good chunk of an afternoon just sitting and fleshing it. If that's the vote, that's what we'll do. I'll keep up as best I can. (NT) -- Fate, 11:48:52 03/11/05 Fri
• For everyone who is awake. (Currently: Lunae, Terra) -- Fate, 11:50:32 03/11/05 Fri
  • Terra sits and watches the scenery. After a while she turns to Lunae, "Where have you been?" -- Terra Yumakami, 10:28:05 03/17/05 Thu
  • "What do you mean, 'where have you been?' I've been on watch." Lunae stands up for a second and stretches her legs. (NT) -- Lunae, 20:37:07 03/24/05 Thu
  • "Not what I meant. You left for a long time, at the colony. Where have you been?" Terra Yumakami tended to speak less when she wasn't comfortable with the surroundings, and the old habit was resurfacing now. Something about this area bothered her. (NT) -- Terra Yumakami, 11:45:54 03/31/05 Thu
    • Lunae was a bit more relaxed, but she felt the same as Terra. The scenery felt wrong. She keeps her gaze on the surroundings when she replies, "I've been exploring. Don't tell me you stayed here for two years, you're a wanderer at heart." More so than me, she adds silently. She'd never seen Terra settle for longer than a few months. Carnerik appeared to be an exception. (NT) -- Creselin Lunae, 11:54:02 04/13/05 Wed
• For everyone who is asleep (Currently: Chaos, Naverin, Kia, Lialye) -- Fate, 11:55:02 03/11/05 Fri
  • Kia shakes her head in surprise as Terra (who had been standing in front of her) dissapeared. She is further surprised to see the large snakes suddenly appear in this realm. The things looked far too large to fight but there had to be something that they could do. Kia steps nearer Guide and askes "How can we help them?" (NT) -- Kia, 17:12:39 03/12/05 Sat
  • Ario jumps to his feet at the appearance of the serpents. He looks ready to help but waits for Guide's reply to Kia's question. (NT) -- Ario, 17:13:50 03/12/05 Sat
  • Guide does not reply. She is shaking visibly, and seems ready to fall over. She starts to send a message to you, but it is just a jumble of images, all of them either terrifying or painful. There is a hint of darkness and demons, one of betrayal...but no actual message comes through. (NT) -- Fate, 11:56:20 03/15/05 Tue
    • Chaos tries to break free as much as he can. Releasing the blade in his boot (like a spike, typically used for climbing, but I had the dwarves design one for weaponry use) He starts to madly kick at the black bodies. Noticing the change of scenery he gasps out, "Help! These things...I don't understand it, but they can change forms! This one was just a cube of jelly until a few moments ago, and before that it was a pirate...be careful!" (NT) -- Chaos, 11:58:25 03/15/05 Tue
  • Kia stepped forward at Chaos' cry for help. She had no idea whether anything she could do would actually help but she was going to try. Drawing her sword she swung it down at the mid-section of the nearest snake. (NT) -- Kia, 06:21:01 03/16/05 Wed
  • Ario stands near Guide confused at the jumble of images. He remains near her trying to confort her. (NT) -- Ario, 06:22:16 03/16/05 Wed
  • Naverin starts to rush to Chaos, also knowing what the snakish things can do. "Keep your minds blocked off; I think they can read thoughts. Also don't get too close in my opinion." Just as Naverin says this, she stops, realising she was going right against her own advice. (NT) -- Naverin, 14:26:54 03/18/05 Fri
  • Guide continues to shake, and seems incapable of coherent thought so long as the snakes are nearby. The snakes themselves calm down after a few seconds and pause, still clutching the helpless human. They ignore Kia and Naverin for the moment. A low guttural hiss emerges, at first its just below hearing, but it quickly rises in volume until it is deafening. Surprisingly, everyone merely gets the impression that a question has just been asked. Guide falls to the floor...the floor that is merely a section of sky with gravity, held up by her own magic...Ario would be the first to notice that what once felt as solid as thick glass or ice now feels like slowly sinking sand. (more inside) -- Fate, 08:47:41 03/21/05 Mon
    • Ario, noticing that the ground is becoming less stable, moves to Guide's side and communicates, "Do you have the strength to get us back to paradise? Anywhere but here?" (NT) -- Ario, 05:16:51 03/22/05 Tue
    • Naverin begins to be very confused. /what are we supposed to do? The wolves led us here, but should we leave?/ She turns toward the others and hopes that Guide and make a decision. She is willing to stick with it whatever happens, but she is not leading. (NT) -- Naverin, 15:44:58 03/26/05 Sat
    • OOC: I think I beat all of you in slacking off. I blame school and assorted other things like drama and stuff...yesh. Dangit, I hate catching up... BIC: Lialye grimaces, her hands tightening on her staff. The situation's going steadily downhill...lovely. But something in the snakes' communication strikes her as odd, and she narrows her eyes, thinking. Wolf? What wolf? Were they talking about Guide? Hmm...in any case, the situation now was, essentially, leave or die. Easy enough choice. Odd little side comments could be pondered later, in a safer place. "Guide, I really hope you can get us out of here," Lialye mutters tightly, drawing closer to Guide and the rest of the group, "because they aren't leaving us much choice, and I, for one, would much prefer to retreat now and fight later, once we're a bit more prepared." -- Lialye, 19:42:44 03/30/05 Wed
  • Guide shakes her head, ‘If I open a portal, they will follow. I cannot take them to paradise. But we cannot stay here. I do not know what to do! I've been running from this foul beast for so long...I never thought what I would do if I was caught.' Guide is able to rise, but she can't stop shaking. After a while, she speaks to the snakes themselves, ‘Release the humans you have trapped. Release them, and we will leave.' She then privately speaks to you all, ‘But where do we go? I will not take these hunters back to my paradise, and I can't think of anywhere else! I can't think...where? Where do we go?' -- Fate, 11:54:05 03/31/05 Thu
    • Ario looked Guide in the eyes and said /Take us to one of these other worlds. Not your paradise but one of the other paradises. The paradise of rocks or someplace where it wont matter if they follow./ (NT) -- Ario, 04:59:17 04/01/05 Fri
    • Guide focuses on Ario's idea. 'Some place where it won't matter...Some place where they can't do harm...' While she readies herself, the snakes twist and writhe, releasing the human captive and stepping away. ((All players are now free to move, huzzah! Sorry, Chaos, that must not've been much fun for you.)) Guide's mind settles, 'This is too close...the furthest paradise there is...the furthest from the spiral...no harm...Okay. Rocks would work.' Guide begins the spell. ((Now, I would leave it there, give y'all a day to get close to her, then move on, but I'm a loser that way. You can jump through, and I'll do the rest on Spring Break---Wednesday.)) After another spell a portal opens, although it looks a bit unstable. Guide clearly didn't have clear focus. Regardless, she charges through. (NT) -- Fate, 12:12:29 04/04/05 Mon
    • Unstable or not, Chaos didn't care. He just wants to get out of here. "Tally ho! Let's go!" He runs like a bull (slow to get up to speed, but attempting to stop him is like stopping the ocean) and charges into the swirling vortex of uncertain safety. (NT) -- Chaos (Who is glad to be free, btw), 12:41:04 04/04/05 Mon
    • Ario dashes through the portal right behind Guide. (NT) -- Ario, 05:08:52 04/05/05 Tue
    • Kia sheathes her sword and jogs through the portal with the others. (NT) -- Kia, 05:09:52 04/05/05 Tue
      • And Lialye follows behind... (NT) -- Lialye, 19:59:04 04/07/05 Thu
      • I laugh with mirth as I amuse myself. Hop onto the internet during spring break? I don't think I was even indoors or at home for longer than a few hours. I think that was just to eat. Anyway, the thread has moved up. (NT) -- Fate, 11:57:53 04/13/05 Wed

I don't know how you fight now, but I trust you." he then drops any kind of battle posture and starts to calmly walk towards Skye.

  • Kraven's movement is unheard of. All his muscles are relaxed, and he walked in one motion, as if strolling down a street. He doesn't even seem to be paying any attention to where he's going, or who he's about to face. In this manner he gently glides into striking distance, but no further. It's curious. He seems to be just within reach. To get any real power into her shots, Skye would need to move towards him now, since he's stopped. It's worth mention that Kraven probably has a longer reach... (NT) -- Fate, 10:26:21 03/17/05 Thu

OOC: no, nice job Nia that was fine. (NT) -- Chaftar, 16:51:49 03/19/05 Sat

It looked like he took the kick at full force. Since he was on the grounds and out of bounds, he kept rolling until he was clear of the now-three-man fray. After a short pause he lets out a bear like roar and charges straight at all three. It appears as though he is attempting a dog pile...((I realize that this is a dumb move. And it is. I love Kraven so much. I promise he can fight, you'll see)) (NT) -- Fate, 08:30:48 03/21/05 Mon
• One of Chaftar's kicks hits Skye on the forearm. Another hits her shoulder (OOC: I'm assuming that you kick more than once. If that is not the case, I apologize and retract the first sentence of this post.) Skye rolls to avoid any further attack from Chaftar. She stands back up and backs away from Chaftar and Nia for a moment. (NT) -- Skye, 05:13:14 03/22/05 Tue
• chaftar, swung too his feet. "you doin fine kraven?" he asked teasingly. (NT) -- chaftar, 08:55:49 03/23/05 Wed
  • Kraven had stopped before actual impact, and was advancing on Nia when Chaftar spoke, "Oh, I think so," he laughs. He then charges at Nia, in a body slam. (NT) -- Fate, 16:30:16 03/23/05 Wed
• Skye approaches Chaftar on his left side and sends a kick towards his arm. OOC: *sigh* Sorry guys but I really don't know that much about fighting and all of my moves pretty much suck. (NT) -- Skye, 05:14:21 03/24/05 Thu
• Chaftar took the kick and grunted as it hit his arm squarely. yet with one motion he grabbed at her leg with his other hand. if he got it he planned to twist it flipping her on to the ground. (NT) -- chaftar, 20:26:33 03/27/05 Sun
• Skye was on the ground before she had fully comprehended what Chaftar was going to do. Once on the ground she had an open shot at Chaftar's stomach. She kicked at it. (NT) -- Skye, 18:17:48 03/28/05 Mon
  • Nia? I'd like to destroy your character. How can I do that if you don't fight back? *wink* (NT) -- Fate, 12:55:03 03/29/05 Tue
• OCC: Sry guys I've been on holidays. BIC: Nia can't dodge Kravens tackle but manages to tuck her feet up as she hits the ground so that they're braced against his stomach and tries to kick him off over her head. OCC: let me know if I've gotten the wrong idea about the way your attacking me. (NT) -- Nia, 20:38:45 04/01/05 Fri
  • OOC: Welcome home, child! You got his approach exactly right. BIC: Kraven felt the legs against him and thought ahead. As Nia heaved him (and it really would be a heave. Kraven is pretty heavy.) He tucked his head down and threw his legs up. It caused him to flip off of Nia, instead of going flying. He lands on his feet, and starts to rush the fallen Nia, but stops just before here and offers his hand instead, "If you're on the ground, you can't be hit. Want to stand up again?" (NT) -- Fate, 12:00:11 04/04/05 Mon
• chaftar grunted and fell to his knee . keeping his eyes up he raised to a croched position. (NT) -- chaftar, 07:51:07 04/05/05 Tue
• OOC: Long time no post, eh Chaftar? BIC: Skye takes advantafe of Chaftar's "keeping his eyes up". She was still lying on the ground. She rolled over out of Chaftar's reach, stood up and waited for Chaftar to do the same. (NT) -- Skye, 05:08:45 04/06/05 Wed
• Nia grinned and flipped herself onto her feat without Kravens help and back up to prepare for his next attack. (NT) -- Nia, 02:33:43 04/07/05 Thu

• "I suppose you could say that. We stumbled upon it half-buried in a hole. Then we weren't sure what to do and my friend here told me of a sorceress in the forest who might possibly be able to help us know what to do with this fascinating orb, which brings us to you. So I suppose if it is yours, perhaps we should turn it over to you? Catica pauses to see what Pheonix, who actually has the orb (i'm guessing, I think it would be too large for a halfling to carry.) to do with it. (NT) -- Catica, 14:36:19 03/18/05 Fri
• The woman turned around finally to look at the two. "Follow me please," the woman started up a forest path. (NT) -- The woman, 10:22:00 03/19/05 Sat
  • Catica, not sure of what to do, follows the woman and hopes this is the right thing. /what have I got to lose?/ At this thought, Breema begins to whimper but also follows. "So you can help us? " Catica makes fleeting glances at Pheonix hoping that this is what was intended. (NT) -- Catica and Breema, 15:47:48 03/26/05 Sat
• Phoenix looks back at Catica. She had no idea what was going on or whether this was in fact how it was supposed to happen. She was surprised that they even found this woman at all. She sticks close to Catica and waits to see where the sorceress takes them. The woman started down a new path and answered Catica's question without looking back at them. "I am the woman that you have been looking for. My name is Spectra. The orb you have is an ancient artifact from the early days of Carnerik. When the settlers first came to Carnerik there was a very powerful wizard among them. He sent the orb into the sky. I'm not entirely certain why he did so. Was it to protect the orb from the hands of men or to protect men from what the orb could do." (NT) -- Phoenix and Spectra, 05:17:40 03/28/05 Mon
  • Catica follows on this new path, but looks about her warily, for she has never been in this part of the forest. "So where are we going exactly? And how do you know what to do about the orb if it was not yours?" (NT) -- Catica, 15:30:17 03/29/05 Tue
• "I never said that I did know what to do with the orb. I did however say that it belongs to me. The man I just told you of was called Spectrum. He was my great, great grandfather, whom I was named after." Spectra began "Do not worry about where we are going. Don't worry no harm will come to you." (NT) -- Spectra, 09:13:30 03/30/05 Wed
  • "and where exactly would that be?" Catica looks around as they go ever deeper into the forest that she once thought of as her home. (NT) -- Catica, 14:30:54 04/01/05 Fri
• "I told you not to worry about whither we are going," Spectra snapped. Phoenix glanced at Catica she was starting to get a bad feeling about all of this. Soon they all reached a clearing. Runes had been carved into the trees and rocks surrounding it. Before entering Spectra said one word, "Cirith". There was a faint popping noise, she then entered the clearing. (NT) -- Spectra and Phoenix, 11:27:57 04/03/05 Sun
  • Catica kept looking up at the fear in pheonix's eyes and wonders what she has gotten them into /she almost feels like this whole ordeal is her fault/ the clearing is like nothing she has ever seen. There seems to be numerous plants and rocks that she could never recognise, even though she grew up in the forest. Breema begins to sniff around warily and senses the growing fear of her party. (NT) -- Catica and Breema, 14:33:40 04/14/05 Thu

• "Judging allows me to find out who I can trust...and who I can't," Skye replied with raised eyebrows but she did not answer Chaftar's question. That she left to Nia. (NT) -- Skye, 20:15:15 03/04/05 Fri
• "I'm sixteen. Maybe I look younger cause I'm an elf. As for why were here, Skye was attacked by a normally docile bird and we found out that it came from the tree where you met us." Nia said. (NT) -- Nia, 23:28:41 03/05/05 Sat
• sixteen is young chaftar smiled. im twenty one... i think thats right at least. soo.. why were you two out in the forest? (NT) -- chaftar, 18:04:23 03/06/05 Sun
• "You call me young yet I'm older than you." Skye began "We were taking a walk and decided to spar, then that bird attacked me." (NT) -- Skye, 18:20:54 03/06/05 Sun
• ah but how old are you? (NT) -- chaftar, 07:35:35 03/07/05 Mon
• Kraven appears during this small discussion, "Ha! You should never ask a lady that question and expect a straight answer! They always lie. However," Kraven winks and mockingly takes a bow, "this one wouldn't need to lie at all." He wanders back into the clearing, covered in stray leaves and twigs from the trees he must've run into. His face is red, but it's slowly fading back to its regular color, "You were out for a spar match? Well now, I'm sorry my bird interferred! A spar sounds like good fun, why not hold a match right now?" (NT) -- Fate, 12:09:18 03/07/05 Mon
• Skye raised her eyebrows seeming intrigued "Between whom?" she asked Kraven (NT) -- Skye, 14:33:51 03/07/05 Mon
• Nia grinned her hunting knife immediatly appearing in her hand. (NT) -- Nia, 21:37:40 03/08/05 Tue
• Chaftar watched both skye and nia with amused look. "a cat fight eh? this might be interesting (NT) -- chaftar, 09:00:42 03/09/05 Wed
• Skye glanced at Chaftar and then at Nia. She somehow didn't think that's what Kraven meant. (NT) -- Skye, 05:05:16 03/10/05 Thu
• Kraven grins again, and it is clear he has something "up his sleeve." (I mean that figuratively, in case you are wondering. His sleeves are bulging naturally with his own flesh.) He stands up and brushes himself off, "Not a one on one. Those are easy. Why not have a two on two? I think Chaftar and I could still make a good team, even though we're a bit rusty. Or, we could divide it differently, I don't much mind. I just want to have a bit of fun." He throws his hand sharply into the air, "Naturally, there will be no lethal weapons, and once someone is down they are to be considered harmless until they stand up again. No cheating, no serious injuries, no deaths. That should go without saying." From how Kraven was talking, it was clear he didn't spar too much. He was treating the training like a real brawl. (NT) -- Fate, 11:59:12 03/11/05 Fri
• Nia shrugged, Kraven may not have sparred much but she was happy to fight hand to hand. Then she sheathed her hunting knife and put it on the ground then removed the six other knives that she kept in various places around her body. "So me and Skye against you and Chaftar then? Oh and Kraven, none of your little magic tricks. Lets keep this clean." (NT) -- Nia, 21:01:18 03/11/05 Fri
• Skye smiled. This seemed like it would be rather interesting. She proceeded in unbuckling her sword, taking off her quivver and bow and removing several other weapons on her person and placing them out of the way in a pile on the ground. (NT) -- Skye, 17:16:13 03/12/05 Sat
• Chaftar sheathed his sword and threw it to the side. "well unarmed combat isn't my prowess but this should prove interesting. You ready old man?" chaftar smiled sideways at kraven. (NT) -- chaftar, 08:15:34 03/14/05 Mon
• Kraven eyes Nia as she set down her knives, then watched as Skye and Chaftar disarmed themselves. He seemed ready to say something, but instead shrugged and set his own set of knives onto the pile. Then he scoops up all of the weapons and dumps them carefully off to one side of the field, clearing space. He then drops his pack, and walks back. "Okay then," he stands about ten feet away from the two women, "the boundaries should be obvious. Don't step out of the clearing. Ready when you all are!" OOC: Whoever posts next, post as a new message. Unless it's me that posts next. In which case, head up. (NT) -- Fate, 12:08:43 03/15/05 Tue

• Catica and her fox Breema enter into the foest and see Pheonix. "Well here we are, I really hope this will help for the orb is quite burdensome at the moment i think." (NT) -- Catica, 16:03:04 02/10/05 Thu
• Phoenix leads Catica down an eastward path. (To make this short) soon the trail branches off into three new trails. "From here I don't know where to go. So why don't you pick one?" (NT) -- Phoenix, 05:17:24 02/11/05 Fri
  • Catica looks at the 3 paths and looks down at Breema, who seems to want to head down the far left one. "I think Breema has decided for me. Shall we?" with that Catica begins to follow Breema until they come to an oddly shapen rock with writing on it. it appears to be a similar form of sandscipt as on the orb. "What do you make of this pheonix?" (NT) -- Catica, 00:19:35 02/18/05 Fri
• Phoenix walks up to the rock and begins to interpret "Woe to all those that travel further. All who proceed will be cursed..." (NT) -- Phoenix, 07:51:34 02/18/05 Fri
  • "That sounds encouraging. So what should we do? I think I already have enough cursing that it won't matter if I add a little more." With that, she continues on the path (NT) -- Catica, 14:47:40 02/27/05 Sun
• OOC: So would you like to play this sorceress or would you like me to? I'm fine either way. BIC: Phoenix shrugs and follows after Catica, thinking to herself /It's probably just an empty threat anyway/ (NT) -- Phoenix, 16:49:20 02/27/05 Sun
  • OOC: I think it would be better if you played the sorceress if thats ok. BIC: With such a note Catica leads the way until it begins to become darker. "I've never been in this part of the forest, have you? I'm not really sure what to expect." Catica begins looking about her warily as Breema begins sniffing the air curiously. (NT) -- Catica and Breema, 17:39:54 03/01/05 Tue
• OOC: Perfectly fine with me. BIC: Phoenix looks around and cannot help but feel a sense of unease. As they went deeper it continued to get darker and a fine mist began to rise from the forest floor. Ahead of them a woman can be discerned bending over the roots of a tree. She appears not to notice them. (NT) -- Who else?, 18:35:45 03/01/05 Tue
  • Breema aproaches the woman, so Catica follows and calls out. "Excuse me, but could you perhaps help us? We are looking for someone who can aid us in deciphering and decoding an object. Would you perchance know of someone who can help? I think we are looking for a soceress, but any positive input would be appreciated." Catica stays where she is after advancing until she is about 5 feet from the woman and waits with Breema still approaching with her nose sniffing all about her in a very foxlike attitude of wariness yet playfulness of the situation .

BIC: The hunter scratches his head nervously, "There's a few bits and pieces I ain't tellin' ya, but seeing as I'm tired, and we have visitors, I think that what I may have to say can wait for another time." Kraven then stops and looks directly at where Nia and Skye are hiding, "Well? Are you gonna sit in that uncomfortable plant all day?" (NT) -- Fate, 20:49:14 02/11/05 Fri

• Chaftar sprang to his feet at the sound of other voices, drawing his sword he eyed the intruders. "I see you managed to follow a trail after all. Funny you didn't have the common courtesy to show yourselves instead of eavesdroping." he spun his sword around in his hand. (NT) -- Chaftar, 19:34:26 02/13/05 Sun

• Kraven laughs, ignoring Nia's question entirely. He grabs Chaftar's shoulder lightly and pulls him back, then steps forward, "While it isn't very nice to be eavesdroppin', I can't blame ya fer being careful now, can I? If you all really want to be at each other's throats, I won't stop ya." To demonstrate his point, Kraven takes three steps off to one side, clearing the way between Chaftar, Nia, and Skye. "If you do happen to start something, I'll warn you that I think I know who'll win, even if he is a bit rusty. But I confess, I think we all got off on the wrong foot here."

  • Kraven doesn't bother to wait. Even before Skye finishes sheathing, he's right up next to them reaching for their arms, "Grand! You've 'eard this once already, but now it's official, so we'd better be official. I'm Kraven. Ex-Assassin, Pro-Hunter. 'Tis a real pleasure." He then bows to each of them in turn, regardless of how close that puts him to their weaponry. (NT) -- Fate, 08:35:06 02/18/05 Fri

Naverin stays wary and prepares to fire. (NT) -- Naverin, 15:59:59 02/10/05 Thu
  • OOC: Ach, ye play a hard game, lassie. BIC: "Kuku...Wouldn't tha' be nice?" the pirate takes /no heed whatsoever/ at the bow being raised at him. Instead he shifts again, contorting to a new shape...Which might as well be no shape at all. A clear, gellatinous substance, now cube-like in nature, is advancing towards you. OOC: Inside, por favor. -- Fate, 20:55:47 02/11/05 Fri
    • Naverin tries to quickly dodge the strange object and fires one arrow into it. now she just hopes for the best. (NT) -- Naverin, 00:11:40 02/18/05 Fri
    • The arrow pierces through the cube, but the strange substance simply slows the projectile down. About halfway into the 6-foot wide cube, the arrow comes to a complete halt. The cube stops for a moment, then moves towards the direction that Naverin dodged in, without turning to "face" her ((indicating, btw, that it has no face.)). It doesn't move any faster than a normal walking pace, but something about it calls for the word "relentless." As it moves, Naverin could note that the arrow is beginning to break apart, with the smaller splinters already dissolving...((Another note inside)) -- Fate, 08:49:47 02/18/05 Fri
      • OOC: That, I think, can wait 'till later. BIC: Chaos recovers himself and starts to creep up on what he believes to be the back of the cube. If he gets within range, he intends to cut off a small corner, so that his sword doesn't have time to get caught. (NT) -- Chaos, 11:52:37 02/23/05 Wed
    • OOC: Hrm...Yeah, okay. BIC: The cube either doesn't see Chaos, or doesn't care. Chaos successfully gets within range, and manages to clip off a corner of the cube. The corner dissolves before it even hits the ground, but the cube just "refills" the cut. (Granted, it is now fractionally smaller) The cube still ignores Chaos. (NT) -- Fate, 12:42:04 02/25/05 Fri
      • OOC:this is confusing. BIC: naverin seeing that an arrow would do no good pulls out her dagger and begins to try and also cut off a piece hoping the get it as small as possible. (NT) -- Naverin, 14:54:19 02/27/05 Sun
    • OOC: I know. I'm sorry. I think I better get back to the, um, y'know, the plot? That might be easier. BIC: The cube does continue to shrink gradually, until it is a tiny drop and it dies. All the other snakes are silent, then one hisses, 'Enough. We leave /now./ You shall pay for this, humans.' The snakes all leave, and you are now alone with the wolf spirits. OOC: It's sudden, it's mean, but it'll be different for 3rd watch. Yeesh. (NT) -- Fate, 19:45:32 02/27/05 Sun
      • Naverin begins circling so all of her sides are covered as she holds the dagger threateningly. "Chaos, what do we do now? It seems to be gone, but what was it doing her in the first place." (NT) -- Naverin, 17:43:44 03/01/05 Tue
• OOC: Behold, the paradise of errors! We need an unhappy twist in this thread. Take a look inside, anyway. -- Fate, 12:37:26 01/21/05 Fri
  • "Ugh," Terra falls down to her knees and rams her eyes shut, "You thought it was a good idea WHY? This place is terrible!" She tries to keep her stomach to herself, but she'd never felt so...spaced out before. Chancing a glance, and finding a grass blade at eye level she leaps to her feet---where the grass was brushing by..."Let's get outta here. I'll do anything I can to get out of here as fast as possible." (NT) -- Terra Yumakami, 17:33:09 01/21/05 Fri
• Ario remained silent for a few moments then finally directed the following thoughts to the new form of their guide 'If you cannot call up these vortexes at a whim how then will we ever leave this place?' The strange movements of the realm made Ario dizzy but he seemed to be otherwise ok. (NT) -- Ario, 14:57:59 01/24/05 Mon
• Kia felt like her stomach was in her throat and everything else seemed to be in the wrong place to. She couldn't tell if it was this place that was moving or herself. She shook her head, trying to rid herself of the feeling and asked "Are we in any danger from these demons?" (NT) -- Kia, 14:59:30 01/24/05 Mon
• OOC: Oooogh. Sorry 'bout this "uncharacteristic" waiting time. I've had a pretty bad case of the flu. BIC: Guide shakes her mane, 'I can't call them one right after another. That's all I meant. I need a short resting time...' she looks at the humans and sighs, 'Hold on. I think I can at least make it more comfortable.' she raises her head and howls for a long while. As her voice echoes, the landscape shifts once more. Now everyone sits on the same floor, and the horizon is the correct shape. The grass is all on the same level. The clouds are all on the same level. Everything is still shades of grey, but at least now it seems more organized. The only problem is that you are all now upside-down. Clouds drift past your feet and the grass now looks like the sky. Guide stops howling and quickly advises, 'I don't think any of you should like to look down...I understand that it can be uncomfortable to see that you are not standing on anything at all.' (NT) -- Fate, 11:33:03 01/29/05 Sat
  • Despite the Guide's warning Kia couldn't help but look down. She swallowed a yelp and promised herself that she wouldn't look again if she didn't have to. She hadn't done well with heights since...since Karia's accident. (NT) -- Kia, 20:09:49 01/29/05 Sat
  • Ario bounded about happily. He had always wondered what it was like for birds. He was sure this was a little different but he was fairly sure a tiger couldn't get much closer. (NT) -- Ario, 20:11:04 01/29/05 Sat
  • Terra chose to listen to guide, and keeps her gaze steadily forward or upward, electing not to see what is around her feet. Curiosity eventually gets the better of her, and she hauls out a bead from her pocket and drops it. She glances downward to see if the bead lands on the same plane she rests on, or if it falls through. (NT) -- Terra Yumakami, 11:25:08 01/30/05 Sun
    • Terra's bead does not make a sound, and a glance will tell anyone that it fell right down...or in this case, up. It would seem that whatever is keeping you in place is only keeping /you/ in place. (NT) -- Fate, 21:16:21 01/31/05 Mon
  • Lialye grimaces uncomfortably and shifts her feet as she casts a long look down - up? - at them (her feet, that is). How awkward...though admittedly much better than before, it's still absolutely bizarre.... -- Lialye, 16:46:00 01/31/05 Mon
  • OOC: Welcome back Lia. BIC: Kia held her head up trying not to look down "So what now?" (NT) -- Kia, 06:39:54 02/01/05 Tue
    • Guide shakes her head wearily, 'Now I rest. I can keep the world like this, but if I try to flip it, I'll be exhausted. I'm afraid I must sleep for a short time, then I will make this mistake up to you. Please, is there anyway you can occupy each other's time for a while?' Guide waits for a response for a moment, but even as she was communing, her head was drooping into her paws. Within seconds, she was asleep. OOC: The rest of Second Watch is intended as a 'Getting to know you' section for you guys, so that you know what the others are like, and what they can do. Sorry if it is a let down. (NT) -- Fate, 12:30:09 02/02/05 Wed
• OOC: I think we need it. I really know nothing of your guys' characters. But how to start? BIC: Sensing that they were going to be here a while Kia carefully sits down, trying, still, not to look down. (NT) -- Kia, 05:06:32 02/03/05 Thu
  • OOC: Like this, I guess...If you take the bait. If not, we can just...be blunt, I guess. BIC: "Have any of you met Lunae before? I haven't seen her in a long time, and I've been wondering what she's been up to." Terra sits perfectly straight, and her natural position makes her look ready for a fight. She stares down occasionally, trying to adapt to the sight. She murmurs as she glances, "We've been through a lot together, but I don't know a thing about where she's been after we got seperated." (NT) -- Terra Yumakami, 15:06:57 02/03/05 Thu
    • "I haven't. I really don't know anyone in our happy little group. I know names but nothing else." Kia said. (NT) -- Kia, 07:36:02 02/04/05 Fri
    • Ario grew tired of bounding around and curled up on, what was to him, the ground. As the humans couldn't understand him he lay still and listened. (NT) -- Ario., 07:37:21 02/04/05 Fri
    • OOC: Oh, no. Did this thread die? No one, but no one, has posted on any of the other sections either. Geez...I wanna finish the Swamp, not let it die. BIC: "Well, all right then. She said that we should know each other, and I agree. It's good to know who I can rely on in combat. Kia, why don't we spar or something?" Terra stands up, and brushes herself off. She was a very skilled martial artist, and was aching for a chance to practice a little. (NT) -- Terra Yumakami, 19:05:19 02/07/05 Mon
  • Kia smiled. A spar would be fun and they weren't doing anything but sit here anyway. Looking up at Terra she replied "Sure. What weapons?" (NT) -- Kia, 05:15:17 02/08/05 Tue
  • OOC: Meh! This site is dead! We need some happy long break. I don't think I'll make it to summer at this pace. (NT) -- Kia, 05:00:33 02/10/05 Thu
    • OOC: I know how you feel, although I suppose I'm not posting as fast as I should. At this point I kinda want to go play with others...BIC: Terra shrugs, "I've got a few small weapons on me, but I was thinking we could either do some hand to hand...or...well, I s'pose I don't have access to my other things, so all I have are my fists." (NT) -- Terra Yumakami, 10:24:05 02/10/05 Thu
    • Kia still had her sword, bow and a few smaller weapons but had no objection to hand to hand combat. "Fists it is then," she replied while unbuckling her sword. She stopped in the middle of what she was doing and on second thought rebuckled the sword "I'm not sure I want to set these down," she said with a half-smile. (NT) -- Kia, 05:14:37 02/11/05 Fri
  • Terra smiles, "If they get in your way, you could hand them to someone else." She then takes a few steps back and away from everyone. Taking three deep breaths, she relaxes entirely. She doesn't exactly fall into any recognizable stance, but it's clear that she's ready for combat. (NT) -- Terra Yumakami, 20:47:14 02/11/05 Fri
    • Kia smiles "I'll be alright." She stands opposite of Terra, begins the breathing patterns she had been taught and waits for Terra to make the first move. (NT) -- Kia, 05:22:31 02/14/05 Mon
  • OOC: Which under normal circumstances, never happens. Alas. BIC: Terra and Kia spend quite some time staring at each other before Terra decides to give in. Normally she can wait hours for the opponent to move first, but she was eager to get some serious practice. Easing one toe forward, she begins to advance within striking range. Watching her move is kind of disturbing. She walks like water, taking one brief step and then gliding back into position in smooth and continuous motion. The effect is quite hypnotic. When Terra finally moves within a kick's distance from Kia, she stops again, and waits to see if there is a reation. -- Terra Yumakami, 08:32:55 02/14/05 Mon
    • Kia watches Terra a moment more standing still as she did before at last she jumped forward, dropped to all fours and kicked out at Terra's shin. OOC: Her position is a bit weird but she's kind of looking back at you over a shoulder. -- Kia, 05:23:54 02/15/05 Tue
    • Lialye watches them for a while, still unnerved by the whole world-upside-down effect, then moves a few feet away off to one side. Upon considering sitting down, she decides not to...that just seems like trusting the air she's standing on too much, so she remains standing. Inwardly, she hopes they can get out of this place soon.... -- Lialye, 16:16:25 02/22/05 Tue
    • OOC: What the---I replied to your post days ago. Sorry about that, I don't know what happened there. It was pretty long, too...I'll condense it quickly: BIC: Terra steps back with the leg that was being kicked at, putting her into a traditional kendo stance, with weight equally balanced on each leg. She then "tsugiaches" forward (a shuffle move, but it's pretty quick. It moves forward without taking a step, so if you start with the right leg forward, it stays forward.) She then attempts to throw a punch at Kia's back, aiming straight down at the spine with an open palm. All of this happens in the course of about 2 seconds, realistically. -- Terra Yumakami, 11:58:15 02/23/05 Wed
      • As soon as Kia felt her kick miss she started to roll but before she could complete the roll Terra's downward thrust caught her on the right shoulder (in the front). Kia was forced to the ground but she quickly recovered, rolled again and got to her feet. She is now on the side of Terra. Kia attempts to hit Terra in the stomach. OOC: I know nothing of martial arts so I'm at a bit of a disadvantage. (NT) -- Kia, 07:41:50 02/24/05 Thu
    • OOC: In fairness, I know diddly-squat about hand to hand. I've done mostly swordsmanship, with a hint of judo. Most of what I'm writing is stuff that I've seen my sensei (teacher) do. The rest is stuff I'm just making up. Whee! BIC: Terra relaxes her stomach as much as possible and takes the hit, exhaling as she is struck to soften the blow. She then grabs Kia's...arm? leg? Whatever Kia used to hit, and twists it outward in a small attempt to lock it. She also adjusts her legs, so that she can stand up quickly. (NT) -- Terra Yumakami, 12:34:05 02/25/05 Fri
      • OOC: It was Kia's arm. BIC: Kia swings a leg around attempting to trip Terra again so that she will loosen the grip on Kia's arm. (NT) -- Kia, 07:12:22 02/26/05 Sat
    • OOC: Okay then. BIC: Terra rolls to avoid the kick, releasing the arm in the process. She stops on one knee, facing Kia at about two arms length. "That was pretty good," she admires, "you ready for more?" (NT) -- Terra Yumakami, 19:47:26 02/27/05 Sun
      • "Absolutely," Kia replied grinning. Kia stood ready to block waiting for Terra to attack first this time. (NT) -- Kia, 04:57:19 02/28/05 Mon
