"Pirate, Healer, Dragon" | Kil'Kenny, Juniper, Orla, Ayla, Toron, Baldwin
Little song09/11/2019
[Ayla] leads [Kil'Kenny, Juniper, Orla] into the first room of the inn. "May we see the master please?"
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK unsettled by everything they saw, Orla deathly silent. KK crosses arms, looking casual and relaxed.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "He's busy, what's this rabble?"
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK shrugs, clears throat.
Little song09/11/2019 "A dragon person." "And someone from Maire Gliase."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guard turns and knocks on door. A young nurse cracks it open, she is holding a bonnet close to her head.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK shrugs, roughly. "If he's not well, it's all right. We don't want to disturb him or anything."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Her eyes seem full of fright. "Yes masters?" Guard: "Special guests."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK winces at appearance O-o
Little song09/11/2019 "We can come back if necessary."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Nurse: "I'm almost done with his check-up, may I-" Guard: "Yeah, whatever..." Pushes the door open. Nurse yelps, and falls on the floor, careful to keep her bonnet close over her head.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "Well, bless you, ma'am." Extends hand to her to help her up.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Nurse: "NO!" Refuses his help.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper watches from the open door.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guard: "Sire? You have visitors."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK looks a little surprised. Wipes hands off on pants. Orla also stands outside door, holding her breath.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guard whispers to Baldwin, whose back is to the group, he sits on a bed. "A dragon?" He whispers.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Notices out of corner of his eye, keeps casual demeanor.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guard nods. Baldwin: "Show them out back, please let my nurse finish. Don't ever hit her again, good healing talent is rare, especially with humans."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Suspicious. Strides back out the door, glancing at the nurse. Totally winks at her, then walks next to Orla.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Keeps an eye on the guards and Orla.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Nurse ducks her head out of his gaze, in total fear. The Guards escort the group to a wide room where a railway overlooks.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK follows, thinking fast.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guards: "Wait here!"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 A moment passes, and the door opens. In steps ten guards, rifles at their sides, bayonets fixed, and swords strapped to their sides. Then enters the Master, his black shoulder length hair hanging loose. His eyes are brighter than they were just hours ago. He wastes no time. "So, Middlemarch brings many strangers." A comfortable smile.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Gives a small nod of greeting.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Roguish smile. "It sure does! Adventures Outpost. Guess it's called that for a reason... you know Donindor?"
Little song09/11/2019 Gives k a look.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Donindor?" Circles to KK in a friendly manner, gesturing for the guards to ease up. "I have met Donindor but once. He never stays in one place I've learned that much of him." Smiling. "We are speaking of the same Donindor correct? Quest giver? Alludes to mysteries foolish to the scholar? That Donindor?"
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: "I've heard of him but only in passing. Who is he?"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Circling. "He is a man of many talents I'm told. I think his biggest is not staying in one place."
Little song09/11/2019 "We await your command Sire."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Eyes swing to guard. "But what brings you here?" Stopping in front of Juniper..."You're clearly talented yourself." Quickly examines Orla.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: "I was searching for someone but it ended by a grave."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "I am sorry, but I thank you for your service in our hospitals."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Kk: Nods with a grin in response to Baldwin's question on Donindor. "Yes, that'd be the one... I've never met him myself of course, but heard he pays handsomely..."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "His rewards are...quaint, and fleeting. I could perhaps get you in touch with him, what shall I say when he asks who is sending for him?" Slowly walks from Juniper to Orla. "And do all of you come here for the same purpose?" Walks past Orla. "You are all together?" Aside from the Maire Gliasan of course.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Keeps a close eye on Orla, but stays nonchalant.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "That would be grande." Kinda surprised expression. "Seems like alot of trouble on your part. Just tell him another mangy quester with an eye for adventure would be honored to meet him." Chuckle. Motions to Orla. "And, yes, she's mine. Don't worry, swore an oath of non resistance. She knows how to follow orders." Winks. "What about you, what's this wealth you speak of? "I don't recognize your crest... very much like the Order of the Martrs but different color?" Orla: Silent, head bowed, purposely not meeting Baldwins gaze.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Wealth? I have no wealth to offer except eternal life. Your idea of it is rather pathetic my friend."
Little song09/11/2019 "Shall we purify them master?"
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK rubs chin in interest. "Eternal life...huh..." "You mean....living...forever..." Raises eyebrows in interest. "Never heard of such a thing, but--" Cusses "--tell me more."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Moves back to the circle of guards. Gestures for one to escort Juniper out.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK puts arm around Juniper. "Hey, now. She might like to hear too."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Put her to work in the hospital, see if she will give us access to the Glaise pools. if she escapes, place her in irons," he whispers.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla's head comes up. Glances at Juniper in fear. KK clears his throat. "Wait a minute here." "Whatever happened to asking a lady?"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "I do intend to show credit to the lady." Takes Juniper's hand and guides her to the door. "I am glad to have you in our service Madamoiselle."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper forces her inner anger down and looks at the master with a confused smile. "Everyone is welcome to come to Maire Glaire and go to the healing pools."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK shrugs, just a little miffed, but whatever. Grins at her. "Maybe you'll end up healing me some day, Miss!"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin frowns in his direction.
Little song09/11/2019 Looks to Baldwin..
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Show this healer someplace safe from this man." To guard.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Gives KK a look on the verge of an eyeroll.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Smirk.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Holds up her hand and waves them away. "It's okay. He just your normal pirate."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Thought so..."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK salutes. "Precisely. Smart girl. "Served with Captain Viola, fifteen years."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Viola? Such a briggand he was."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK coughs. "Is, sir. Is. He'd love to kill me if he could."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: "I do not mind, helping you, but as a Maite Gliasian I believe I have access to come and go as I please. We have immunity wherever we go since we offer healing to all who are in need."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "They do have the best places to relax down there."
Little song09/11/2019 "Not everyone feels that way miss. "Best to be careful."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 "Sand. Sun. Waves." X]
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Precisely, you're in dangerous lands, Healer. Do take my soldier's advice, and remain here."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla: Watching Juniper...looking around and analyzing room.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "As for you two," Turning to Orla and KK.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK straightens, slow smile.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "How would you like to stay a little while? Donindor will be back at sundown, he always is."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 "I can stay for a bit. But I do need to go back to Maire Gliase and let them know of the person I searched for... I can always send more healers your way."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "I am bone weary, that sounds fine to me!" Heavy, relaxed sigh.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "How about you?" To Orla. "What sort of food do you like? Makes a subtle gesture, which the guards read to mean "prepare weapons."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla: White-eyed gaze fixes straight at Baldwin.
Little song09/11/2019 Tenses.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 She is feeling so many hard vibes right now, she's just trying not to faint.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Your eyes, definitely one of THEM
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "She ate last night, she'll be fine." Waves hand. Orla nods once. There are very obvious scars running through her fire chambers and down her neck, indicating she can't breathe fire.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 He reads the scars, smiles internally. "Nonsense, we could discuss your beliefs, perhaps I could interest you both in learning of a door to the afterlife? A pirate should seek such a great treasure no? "If not that, tell me how you came here."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "Certainly! Please do. Also, I know you all aren't much in the way of business, but..." Taps fingers together..."There was a prisoner out there...a Kokkan I believe....what would you like for her? My purse is rather dry at the moment, but I can tell you right now, my sources and connections are...basically endless." Smirk. "Ah, and, yes, how I came here. I walked." Sighs. "Blasted ship. that's why I need cash."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "That's not the Kokkan you think it is. She will pay for her crimes against Elyon!"
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Blinks. "Not the Kokkan I think...?" Doesn't understand. "I have no clue who she is, I just hate Kokkans."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Then perhaps you would like to step outside, we are about to light the fire."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "With pleasure, hoping you'd ask."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Watching Orla.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 "Can I help light it?" Eyes flash. Orla: No obvious signs of emotion.
Little song09/11/2019 "Master. If I may. I’m confused."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla puts her hand out and holds onto KK's wrist, digging fingers into his skin.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Good. Cause nothing that I said is meant to make sense. This man is a pirate, and seems to adhere to everything "I say, regardless of whether or not I contradict myself."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 He shakes heroff, giving her "cut it out animal" look.
Little song09/11/2019 Chuckles.. "Very well."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Shrugs. "You do...have ten guards behind you. We don't mean any trouble, honest."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "You're hiding something pirate...I'd like to know what it is."
Little song09/11/2019 "But I am confused about the Kokkan. I thought there was a bounty out for them."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "There is...I just needed to know if this briggand's intentions were with it. I don't think he wants the bounty. I think he is working with Donindor."
Little song09/11/2019 "I understand. Are we actually burning her then?"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Perhaps, let the others think that."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Shrugs...grows serious. "All right. I knew this territory wasn't...quite as receptive to trade as--" Stops. "Working with Donindor--well," Curses--"No, good man! If you must know..." Sighs..."I came here looking for a valuable healer."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Suddenly stabs Baldwin in the side with a dagger then hits him in the throat with a hard punch.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Whips out pistols. Points at Baldwin's head. "DON'T."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Pulls away and rips the cloak from Orla and says in Viridian "Fly*"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Dagger stops on his armor, he instinctively goes to stop the punch, softening the impact. Guards aim rifles, open fire.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla throws herself around Juniper, wrapping her in her wings.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 One uses the butt of the rifle to attempt a waylay on Juniper.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: hits the ground and rolls grabbing at her unstrung bow.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK shoots one pistol inches from Baldwin's face. "I SAID DON'T." "EVERYONE STOP, next time he dies!"
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 "Let go. I must be able to move."
Little song09/11/2019 Draws daggers. And shields Baldwin. "And I thought I liked you too." Little song09/11/2019 "Your orders sir. Kill the healer?"
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla rolls off, but still shielding her, an array of bulllets embedded deep in her scales. Quivering, a few of the shots having pierced.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin: "Kill them all, don't worry about me."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla glances from Kil'Kenny to Juniper in shock, knows she can't save both.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guards aim weapons. Bayonets fixed. Baldwin: "I SAID SHOOT!"
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Another knife comes into her grasp and she slits the throat of the closet guard, ducks under his arm and tackles the feet of the one beside, starting a domino effect with the knights and there heavy armor.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Pistols still fixed on Baldwin and Ayla.
Little song09/11/2019 Flings the dagger. To hit Juniper.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Is hit in the arm, but keeps going yelling through the pain.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 BLAM.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK fires at Ayla. Orla takes more bullets, lets out small cry of pain--dashes after Juniper.
[Ayla is hit, but continues to fight through the pain.]
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Gunsmoke, their weapons discharged at Orla, they go for their swords.
Little song09/11/2019 More draw weapons and go for her in the hall.
Little song09/11/2019 A runs after..
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla snatches Juniper, using body as shield. Bleeding.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 9 guards remain, one is killed by Juniper.
Little song09/11/2019 Draws bow, firing at dragon. [Pierce arrow]
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla grabs Juniper, lets out shriek and begins tumbling-flying out window. Smashes through. One arrow hits her squarely in shoulder blade and pierces deep through scales.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Sees the arrow.
Little song09/11/2019 [Ayla] swears and jumps down. Rolling and rushing outside.. "Take out the dragon!"
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Drawn knives, fighting, and losing.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: "Save your friend, not me!!"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guards flank Kill Kenny.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin gets off the floor holding his throat, draws his pistol, aims for Kenny.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla staggering in flight from wound, but still flying over outpost as fast as she can. "He'll be alright!!"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Another Guard falls on Kenny's knives. 8 Left.
Little song09/11/2019 Ayla fires another arrow at Orla but stumbles and swears. "That’s just perfect." Holds side.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guards outside aim weapons, shoot at Orla as she flies.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla reaches tree line, panting with all her might. Crying. Dives into trees.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Toron clashes blades with Kenny.
Little song09/11/2019 Starts heading back, but falls at the door going unconscious.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK sees Ayla, feels bad. KK trying to fight way through to window as well, but knows he's not going to make it. Laughs.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guards close in...Toron goes for his knee, while another takes a high blow. Baldwin is behind them, aiming his pistol at KK's chest.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Eyes flashing. "You all know nothing of Elyon."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin: "Do I?" Pulls trigger. "Cause your not going to meet Him."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK grunts, sags. Dead. Teleports.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Good. He'll live through the consequences of his actions." Pacing, thinking. "A pirate is he? What was the name of his captain?"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Toron: ["Captain Viola."]
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin: "Aim the weapon for Pura!"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "But sire!" Toron objects. Baldwin snap turns. "You defy my orders!?"
Little song09/11/2019 "Sire. Won’t that also harm the Sanctum?" Other guard.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Toron freezes in fear, but then gains confidence. "The Sanctum Sire! They would-"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin's anger subsides, he sees their reason.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Malice and hatred comes into Baldwin's eyes...
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "The Maire Gliasians will not be very apt to helping us...that is a tactical advantage no one else should have over us."
Little song09/11/2019 "They would be very useful though."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Toron: "But they heal people Sire..."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin: "Not if that Healer sends word telling them not to help us. That is what she would do I fear." Toron: Nervous, then he remembers Ayla! And he rushes to go find her.
Little song09/11/2019 Several already carrying her to the hospital section.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Finds Ayla while she is being carried. "Oh thank the Lord! Are you hurt badly?" Knight: "Go away kid, we got this!"
Little song09/11/2019 "I hate dragon people..." Groggy.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "I promise this will all be worth it. We'll get through those gates you hear?" Just keep thinking about the gates!
[Meanwhile, in the woods outside Adventurer's Outpost]
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: looks at Orla. In Viridian, "Thank you."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla: Shaking, choking on her words. "I-I--I---we need to hurry." Is bleeding badly, crying. Starting to go still as bleed out takes her.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Pulls out a healing stone and water. "Here put this under your tongue while I bandage your wounds."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla takes the stone, painfully looking back through the trees. Uses her strength to hug Juniper. Hides face in her, and wraps bullet-ridden wings around them both, still sobbing.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Is startled, then hugs her back. "Shhhh, it will be okay."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 "You'll be alright. Let's go deeper into the woods."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla nods hard, starts walking/stumbling/crawling after her, the healing stone giving her enough strength to stay conscious.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla: In Viridian, "Who are you?" Tears rolling down cheeks. "Are you...the sister? How do you know my tongue?"
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: "Yes."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Pulls out a small thing of healing water. And applies it to Orla's wounds.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla slowly beginning to calm down, swallowing hard. Shivers. Her wounds already begin to feel soothed.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 In English, "Kil'Kenny...has a teleport heal...he saved me...he--he has to be alright..." Painstaking folds wings behind her. Wipes at eyes, but still haunted look. Very hot tears hitting ground and steaming. "I--I know your father."
VioletofSherwood09/12/2019 Juniper: "If he has a teleport heal he'll be fine. I'm sure--" Pauses.
VioletofSherwood09/12/2019 Swallows, then continues walking and hugs Orla. "KilKenny will be fine. He doesn't seem like the type to die easily."
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Orla looks hopeful at Juniper. Doesn't respond, but does smile a little.
[Back at Sanctified Headquarters...]
Yankee Samarai09/12/2019 Baldwin looms over map, plotting. So many enemies. I should level the playing field. He stares, but his thoughts stray when he his hand touches his dagger...Guiscard's dagger that he gave to Kashi. Perhaps that Kokkan is more trouble than she's worth. Then he reaches in his pocket, retrieving the origami bird that Kashi made for Guiscard. Perhaps before going to Pura, and to heaven, I should settle this family matter.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK unsettled by everything they saw, Orla deathly silent. KK crosses arms, looking casual and relaxed.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "He's busy, what's this rabble?"
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK shrugs, clears throat.
Little song09/11/2019 "A dragon person." "And someone from Maire Gliase."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guard turns and knocks on door. A young nurse cracks it open, she is holding a bonnet close to her head.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK shrugs, roughly. "If he's not well, it's all right. We don't want to disturb him or anything."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Her eyes seem full of fright. "Yes masters?" Guard: "Special guests."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK winces at appearance O-o
Little song09/11/2019 "We can come back if necessary."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Nurse: "I'm almost done with his check-up, may I-" Guard: "Yeah, whatever..." Pushes the door open. Nurse yelps, and falls on the floor, careful to keep her bonnet close over her head.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "Well, bless you, ma'am." Extends hand to her to help her up.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Nurse: "NO!" Refuses his help.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper watches from the open door.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guard: "Sire? You have visitors."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK looks a little surprised. Wipes hands off on pants. Orla also stands outside door, holding her breath.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guard whispers to Baldwin, whose back is to the group, he sits on a bed. "A dragon?" He whispers.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Notices out of corner of his eye, keeps casual demeanor.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guard nods. Baldwin: "Show them out back, please let my nurse finish. Don't ever hit her again, good healing talent is rare, especially with humans."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Suspicious. Strides back out the door, glancing at the nurse. Totally winks at her, then walks next to Orla.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Keeps an eye on the guards and Orla.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Nurse ducks her head out of his gaze, in total fear. The Guards escort the group to a wide room where a railway overlooks.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK follows, thinking fast.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guards: "Wait here!"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 A moment passes, and the door opens. In steps ten guards, rifles at their sides, bayonets fixed, and swords strapped to their sides. Then enters the Master, his black shoulder length hair hanging loose. His eyes are brighter than they were just hours ago. He wastes no time. "So, Middlemarch brings many strangers." A comfortable smile.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Gives a small nod of greeting.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Roguish smile. "It sure does! Adventures Outpost. Guess it's called that for a reason... you know Donindor?"
Little song09/11/2019 Gives k a look.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Donindor?" Circles to KK in a friendly manner, gesturing for the guards to ease up. "I have met Donindor but once. He never stays in one place I've learned that much of him." Smiling. "We are speaking of the same Donindor correct? Quest giver? Alludes to mysteries foolish to the scholar? That Donindor?"
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: "I've heard of him but only in passing. Who is he?"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Circling. "He is a man of many talents I'm told. I think his biggest is not staying in one place."
Little song09/11/2019 "We await your command Sire."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Eyes swing to guard. "But what brings you here?" Stopping in front of Juniper..."You're clearly talented yourself." Quickly examines Orla.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: "I was searching for someone but it ended by a grave."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "I am sorry, but I thank you for your service in our hospitals."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Kk: Nods with a grin in response to Baldwin's question on Donindor. "Yes, that'd be the one... I've never met him myself of course, but heard he pays handsomely..."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "His rewards are...quaint, and fleeting. I could perhaps get you in touch with him, what shall I say when he asks who is sending for him?" Slowly walks from Juniper to Orla. "And do all of you come here for the same purpose?" Walks past Orla. "You are all together?" Aside from the Maire Gliasan of course.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Keeps a close eye on Orla, but stays nonchalant.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "That would be grande." Kinda surprised expression. "Seems like alot of trouble on your part. Just tell him another mangy quester with an eye for adventure would be honored to meet him." Chuckle. Motions to Orla. "And, yes, she's mine. Don't worry, swore an oath of non resistance. She knows how to follow orders." Winks. "What about you, what's this wealth you speak of? "I don't recognize your crest... very much like the Order of the Martrs but different color?" Orla: Silent, head bowed, purposely not meeting Baldwins gaze.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Wealth? I have no wealth to offer except eternal life. Your idea of it is rather pathetic my friend."
Little song09/11/2019 "Shall we purify them master?"
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK rubs chin in interest. "Eternal life...huh..." "You mean....living...forever..." Raises eyebrows in interest. "Never heard of such a thing, but--" Cusses "--tell me more."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Moves back to the circle of guards. Gestures for one to escort Juniper out.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK puts arm around Juniper. "Hey, now. She might like to hear too."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Put her to work in the hospital, see if she will give us access to the Glaise pools. if she escapes, place her in irons," he whispers.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla's head comes up. Glances at Juniper in fear. KK clears his throat. "Wait a minute here." "Whatever happened to asking a lady?"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "I do intend to show credit to the lady." Takes Juniper's hand and guides her to the door. "I am glad to have you in our service Madamoiselle."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper forces her inner anger down and looks at the master with a confused smile. "Everyone is welcome to come to Maire Glaire and go to the healing pools."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK shrugs, just a little miffed, but whatever. Grins at her. "Maybe you'll end up healing me some day, Miss!"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin frowns in his direction.
Little song09/11/2019 Looks to Baldwin..
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Show this healer someplace safe from this man." To guard.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Gives KK a look on the verge of an eyeroll.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Smirk.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Holds up her hand and waves them away. "It's okay. He just your normal pirate."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Thought so..."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK salutes. "Precisely. Smart girl. "Served with Captain Viola, fifteen years."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Viola? Such a briggand he was."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK coughs. "Is, sir. Is. He'd love to kill me if he could."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: "I do not mind, helping you, but as a Maite Gliasian I believe I have access to come and go as I please. We have immunity wherever we go since we offer healing to all who are in need."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "They do have the best places to relax down there."
Little song09/11/2019 "Not everyone feels that way miss. "Best to be careful."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 "Sand. Sun. Waves." X]
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Precisely, you're in dangerous lands, Healer. Do take my soldier's advice, and remain here."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla: Watching Juniper...looking around and analyzing room.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "As for you two," Turning to Orla and KK.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK straightens, slow smile.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "How would you like to stay a little while? Donindor will be back at sundown, he always is."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 "I can stay for a bit. But I do need to go back to Maire Gliase and let them know of the person I searched for... I can always send more healers your way."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "I am bone weary, that sounds fine to me!" Heavy, relaxed sigh.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "How about you?" To Orla. "What sort of food do you like? Makes a subtle gesture, which the guards read to mean "prepare weapons."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla: White-eyed gaze fixes straight at Baldwin.
Little song09/11/2019 Tenses.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 She is feeling so many hard vibes right now, she's just trying not to faint.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Your eyes, definitely one of THEM
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "She ate last night, she'll be fine." Waves hand. Orla nods once. There are very obvious scars running through her fire chambers and down her neck, indicating she can't breathe fire.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 He reads the scars, smiles internally. "Nonsense, we could discuss your beliefs, perhaps I could interest you both in learning of a door to the afterlife? A pirate should seek such a great treasure no? "If not that, tell me how you came here."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "Certainly! Please do. Also, I know you all aren't much in the way of business, but..." Taps fingers together..."There was a prisoner out there...a Kokkan I believe....what would you like for her? My purse is rather dry at the moment, but I can tell you right now, my sources and connections are...basically endless." Smirk. "Ah, and, yes, how I came here. I walked." Sighs. "Blasted ship. that's why I need cash."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "That's not the Kokkan you think it is. She will pay for her crimes against Elyon!"
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Blinks. "Not the Kokkan I think...?" Doesn't understand. "I have no clue who she is, I just hate Kokkans."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Then perhaps you would like to step outside, we are about to light the fire."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: "With pleasure, hoping you'd ask."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Watching Orla.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 "Can I help light it?" Eyes flash. Orla: No obvious signs of emotion.
Little song09/11/2019 "Master. If I may. I’m confused."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla puts her hand out and holds onto KK's wrist, digging fingers into his skin.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Good. Cause nothing that I said is meant to make sense. This man is a pirate, and seems to adhere to everything "I say, regardless of whether or not I contradict myself."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 He shakes heroff, giving her "cut it out animal" look.
Little song09/11/2019 Chuckles.. "Very well."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Shrugs. "You do...have ten guards behind you. We don't mean any trouble, honest."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "You're hiding something pirate...I'd like to know what it is."
Little song09/11/2019 "But I am confused about the Kokkan. I thought there was a bounty out for them."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "There is...I just needed to know if this briggand's intentions were with it. I don't think he wants the bounty. I think he is working with Donindor."
Little song09/11/2019 "I understand. Are we actually burning her then?"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Perhaps, let the others think that."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Shrugs...grows serious. "All right. I knew this territory wasn't...quite as receptive to trade as--" Stops. "Working with Donindor--well," Curses--"No, good man! If you must know..." Sighs..."I came here looking for a valuable healer."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Suddenly stabs Baldwin in the side with a dagger then hits him in the throat with a hard punch.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Whips out pistols. Points at Baldwin's head. "DON'T."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Pulls away and rips the cloak from Orla and says in Viridian "Fly*"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Dagger stops on his armor, he instinctively goes to stop the punch, softening the impact. Guards aim rifles, open fire.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla throws herself around Juniper, wrapping her in her wings.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 One uses the butt of the rifle to attempt a waylay on Juniper.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: hits the ground and rolls grabbing at her unstrung bow.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK shoots one pistol inches from Baldwin's face. "I SAID DON'T." "EVERYONE STOP, next time he dies!"
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 "Let go. I must be able to move."
Little song09/11/2019 Draws daggers. And shields Baldwin. "And I thought I liked you too." Little song09/11/2019 "Your orders sir. Kill the healer?"
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla rolls off, but still shielding her, an array of bulllets embedded deep in her scales. Quivering, a few of the shots having pierced.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin: "Kill them all, don't worry about me."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla glances from Kil'Kenny to Juniper in shock, knows she can't save both.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guards aim weapons. Bayonets fixed. Baldwin: "I SAID SHOOT!"
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Another knife comes into her grasp and she slits the throat of the closet guard, ducks under his arm and tackles the feet of the one beside, starting a domino effect with the knights and there heavy armor.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Pistols still fixed on Baldwin and Ayla.
Little song09/11/2019 Flings the dagger. To hit Juniper.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Is hit in the arm, but keeps going yelling through the pain.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 BLAM.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK fires at Ayla. Orla takes more bullets, lets out small cry of pain--dashes after Juniper.
[Ayla is hit, but continues to fight through the pain.]
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Gunsmoke, their weapons discharged at Orla, they go for their swords.
Little song09/11/2019 More draw weapons and go for her in the hall.
Little song09/11/2019 A runs after..
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla snatches Juniper, using body as shield. Bleeding.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 9 guards remain, one is killed by Juniper.
Little song09/11/2019 Draws bow, firing at dragon. [Pierce arrow]
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla grabs Juniper, lets out shriek and begins tumbling-flying out window. Smashes through. One arrow hits her squarely in shoulder blade and pierces deep through scales.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Sees the arrow.
Little song09/11/2019 [Ayla] swears and jumps down. Rolling and rushing outside.. "Take out the dragon!"
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK: Drawn knives, fighting, and losing.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: "Save your friend, not me!!"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guards flank Kill Kenny.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin gets off the floor holding his throat, draws his pistol, aims for Kenny.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla staggering in flight from wound, but still flying over outpost as fast as she can. "He'll be alright!!"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Another Guard falls on Kenny's knives. 8 Left.
Little song09/11/2019 Ayla fires another arrow at Orla but stumbles and swears. "That’s just perfect." Holds side.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guards outside aim weapons, shoot at Orla as she flies.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla reaches tree line, panting with all her might. Crying. Dives into trees.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Toron clashes blades with Kenny.
Little song09/11/2019 Starts heading back, but falls at the door going unconscious.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK sees Ayla, feels bad. KK trying to fight way through to window as well, but knows he's not going to make it. Laughs.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Guards close in...Toron goes for his knee, while another takes a high blow. Baldwin is behind them, aiming his pistol at KK's chest.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Eyes flashing. "You all know nothing of Elyon."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin: "Do I?" Pulls trigger. "Cause your not going to meet Him."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 KK grunts, sags. Dead. Teleports.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "Good. He'll live through the consequences of his actions." Pacing, thinking. "A pirate is he? What was the name of his captain?"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Toron: ["Captain Viola."]
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin: "Aim the weapon for Pura!"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "But sire!" Toron objects. Baldwin snap turns. "You defy my orders!?"
Little song09/11/2019 "Sire. Won’t that also harm the Sanctum?" Other guard.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Toron freezes in fear, but then gains confidence. "The Sanctum Sire! They would-"
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin's anger subsides, he sees their reason.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Malice and hatred comes into Baldwin's eyes...
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "The Maire Gliasians will not be very apt to helping us...that is a tactical advantage no one else should have over us."
Little song09/11/2019 "They would be very useful though."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Toron: "But they heal people Sire..."
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Baldwin: "Not if that Healer sends word telling them not to help us. That is what she would do I fear." Toron: Nervous, then he remembers Ayla! And he rushes to go find her.
Little song09/11/2019 Several already carrying her to the hospital section.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 Finds Ayla while she is being carried. "Oh thank the Lord! Are you hurt badly?" Knight: "Go away kid, we got this!"
Little song09/11/2019 "I hate dragon people..." Groggy.
Yankee Samarai09/11/2019 "I promise this will all be worth it. We'll get through those gates you hear?" Just keep thinking about the gates!
[Meanwhile, in the woods outside Adventurer's Outpost]
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: looks at Orla. In Viridian, "Thank you."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla: Shaking, choking on her words. "I-I--I---we need to hurry." Is bleeding badly, crying. Starting to go still as bleed out takes her.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: Pulls out a healing stone and water. "Here put this under your tongue while I bandage your wounds."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla takes the stone, painfully looking back through the trees. Uses her strength to hug Juniper. Hides face in her, and wraps bullet-ridden wings around them both, still sobbing.
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Is startled, then hugs her back. "Shhhh, it will be okay."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 "You'll be alright. Let's go deeper into the woods."
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla nods hard, starts walking/stumbling/crawling after her, the healing stone giving her enough strength to stay conscious.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla: In Viridian, "Who are you?" Tears rolling down cheeks. "Are you...the sister? How do you know my tongue?"
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Juniper: "Yes."
VioletofSherwood09/11/2019 Pulls out a small thing of healing water. And applies it to Orla's wounds.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 Orla slowly beginning to calm down, swallowing hard. Shivers. Her wounds already begin to feel soothed.
Commando Chipmunk09/11/2019 In English, "Kil'Kenny...has a teleport heal...he saved me...he--he has to be alright..." Painstaking folds wings behind her. Wipes at eyes, but still haunted look. Very hot tears hitting ground and steaming. "I--I know your father."
VioletofSherwood09/12/2019 Juniper: "If he has a teleport heal he'll be fine. I'm sure--" Pauses.
VioletofSherwood09/12/2019 Swallows, then continues walking and hugs Orla. "KilKenny will be fine. He doesn't seem like the type to die easily."
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Orla looks hopeful at Juniper. Doesn't respond, but does smile a little.
[Back at Sanctified Headquarters...]
Yankee Samarai09/12/2019 Baldwin looms over map, plotting. So many enemies. I should level the playing field. He stares, but his thoughts stray when he his hand touches his dagger...Guiscard's dagger that he gave to Kashi. Perhaps that Kokkan is more trouble than she's worth. Then he reaches in his pocket, retrieving the origami bird that Kashi made for Guiscard. Perhaps before going to Pura, and to heaven, I should settle this family matter.
