"The Cave, Part 2" | Ananias, Sukoshi, Maki
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019
Maki: sitting up in tree, talking with it. Is obviously engaged in a pressing conversation...
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 Ananias walks underneath the tree, his thoughts buried in the letter Maki had given him.
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki spots him. Tells the tree to be quiet and watches.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 Turns the letter over. Mumbles to himself and sits down.
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki sees letter. “What does it say?” Hollers down.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 Looks up. "It's orders from Baldwin on troop movement.”
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki sighs. “Troop movement...” Rolls eyes. “How did these people get everywhere and get everything so quickly?”
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "I believe Baldwin to be a very resourceful man. He must have had several years to get to where he is now."
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki pats tree. Begins climbing down. “So, before we leave, I need to find somewhere they are hiding teleport heals.” :] “And steal all of them. Except I'm not a rogue. Are you a rogue? Do you know alot about stealing?”
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "Do I really need to answer that?" He says half jokingly.
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki grins. “I guess that means yes.” Thinking. “There are some villages out there. With your stealth and my invisibility, we could get in I bet.”
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "Not so fast kid. You can't just go around stealing everybody's teleport heals. And you’re not going to drag me into it either. I've got a better idea." Stands up.
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki: Shoulders slump. Crosses arms. "What is it?" Dully.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 Ruffles her hair as he walks by. "I think what you really need is to stop relying on teleport heals to save you. You should be able to protect yourself from danger.” Walks several paces and turns around. "Let's see how your fighting skills are since the last time I saw you."
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki: Eyes widen. “Uh...” Looks down a little and scuffs foot… “Well, it's not so much that I'm....relying....on them.” Avoiding eye contact 'cause he's totally right “...I just...Xkoll, our leader, he gave me his teleport heal and told me I always had to have one...so ...I'm just following orders.” Big guilty grin.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "Sounds like it might have been Xkoll's way of protecting you knowing your skill level isn't stellar. I think we should work on that."
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki: Blushing. Huffs. “Okay. “I do feel...different now. Like I can reach further around me. “But the reach is still shaky.” <:P
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "We should work on your abilities and move on to fighting with a blade." Thinks for a moment. "Throw an ice spike at me."
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki: Eyes light up a little at the thought of fighting with a blade. Lamely throws ice spike at Ananias' face.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 Ananias catches it with his hand. "Is that the best you can do?"
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki shoots out another projectile, but this time two fireballs at him, her hand lighting up.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 Ananias throws his own fireballs into hers. They dissipate in midair. "You're too slow."
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki gasps in shock, rears back. “YOU'RE A SUPER TOO?” Blinks. “I thought you were a Rogue.” O-O Begins cracking knuckles, starts creating rings of fire around her and sending them spinning like blades. Suddenly launches them all swirling towards him from various angles. Chuckles.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "I'm cross-trained a little bit in both areas, but mainly a Super." Puts up a force shield to block the rings. "Now that's more like it. Your technique needs work however. I see very little strategy in your fighting. You come off as full of anger and just throw everything you've got at the enemy. This will wear you down fast."
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki: Kind of excited about being taught by a Super because that has never happened before. Thinking. “I--I guess I never thought about it before, I mean---when I'm angry, more energy comes out, you know? It's like, it creates energy in an instant.… “And the bigger it is, then--” Slowly getting his point. XD
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "It's an understandable reaction and it may have worked against the Pale, but against the Sanctified....you may not last long."
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki: “So...I need to...strategize more against them... “Usually the leader does the strategy though....” O-O
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "The leader will come up with a strategy for the mission at hand, but there is strategy or technique to fighting your opponent. You must learn to control your emotions. Stay focused on your opponents tactics without letting your anger cloud your judgment."
little Song09/12/2019 “Or when you’re on your own you do the strategy. Not everyone gets a leader.” Sukoshi in a tree.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 Looks up a Sukoshi. "That's not exactly helpful. You know if Barney catches you up there, it isn't going to go well for you."
little Song09/12/2019 “I don’t care what he thinks. Hey. We got another complication.”
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "And what would that be?"
little Song09/12/2019 “We have four Blue Cloaks casing the camp.”
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 Becomes alert. "How far out?"
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki: Thinking over Ananias's words. Then comes alert. Goes dashing off to fight them.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 Ananias grabs her by the arm. "What did I just say?"
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki skids to stop, almost slips. “I'm gonna practice, just watch—I-- “Oh, wait, I see.” Sighs, closes eyes, thinking. “Maybe it would be better if I guarded the entrance to the cave with a shield?”
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "Now your using your head."
little Song09/12/2019 “Just out of sight. I think they might try to attack as well.”
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki goes back to the cave, mumbling, but also knows this is a good thing.
little Song09/12/2019 Watching Maki. “Sorry. To interrupt.”
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "Don't worry about it. Let's take care of the knights. Which direction?" Draws sword.
little Song09/12/2019 “There’s no one near here. At least I don’t think.” Still in the tree.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "I thought you said there were four of them coming?"
little Song09/12/2019 Smiles.. “Baldwin. They’re casing the sanctified.” Grows serious. “It’s... I know blue cloaks. “Remember how we were thinking poison the camp but worried about prisoners. “They won’t care. And a lot of them use poisons.”
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki comes racing back. “Oh, so I don't need to guard the cave?” :]
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "What does that have to do with the four blue cloaks you were just talking about?"
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki: “The blue cloaks are going to attack the fort, not us?” At Sukoshi.
little Song09/12/2019 “Yeah.”
little Song09/12/2019 “It’s going to weaken our enemy at least.” Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki: “But...they'll kill anyone and everyone. Even Guiscard and Kashi.”
little Song09/12/2019 “I would say work together but they’ll kill us after.” Points to Ananias and himself. “Yeah. Probably. “We are big enough of a group to maybe take them down first. But I don’t know.”
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki: “I could inferno bomb--” Stops. Sloses eyes, trying to practice strategizing.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "I've ruled out poisoning the army. It's too much of a risk. If anything Tovian will try to knock them out with a sleeping potion."
little Song09/12/2019 “That only works if we can group them. “You might be able too.”
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 "We might put it into the drinking water."
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki: “What do you know about them, Kashi twin? Tell us EVERYTHING about them.”
little Song09/12/2019 “Alright. But it’s a very long story.” Drops down from the tree.
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 Sheaths sword.
little Song09/14/2019 “The blue cloaks began almost 600 years ago. In those days Tir Cendel was being... unfair to elves. Questionable. I... I don’t know the details. But... my teacher told me any non human was being forded into servitude. He wasn’t alive then but he knew people who were. “Anyway. Five elves joined together to take vengeance on the nation that was harming them, the leaders name was Indigo. And he wore a blue cloak. That’s how the uniform started. “They... now they are bitter and brutal elves. “So... any non elf but especially humans they want to... die. “Painfully. “They use poison a lot. Poisons that cause people extreme pain and fear as they take hold. “They are very skilled fighters. “And if they sense their enemy’s weaker that them they will toy with them like a cat to a mouse. “They mostly wield daggers. They’re made with a layering folding process that takes months but in the end makes them extremely durable and sharp. They can shred through most types of armor. “They’re also very resilient. They go through poison training and are immune to a lot of the regular stuff plus... well. They can fight and think through pain. “But... they’re fast and sneaky but not very loyal to each other. They can work together but tend to work alone. Like me... I guess. Honestly Hwarang is trained in a similar way.”
ThatGuyOverThere09/27/2019 Ananias listens quietly as Sukoshi finishes his story of the Blue Cloaks. "So, are saying these men are here now causing trouble for Baldwin?"
Commando Chipmunk09/27/2019 Maki: Listening, interested, thinking. Pipes up. “So...they wouldn't kill...me?”
ThatGuyOverThere09/27/2019 "Don't get your hopes up Maki."
little song09/27/2019 “I don’t think so. They’d probably try to recruit you”
Commando Chipmunk09/27/2019 Maki shrugs. “That's...interesting.” Amused look.
little song09/27/2019 “Don’t.”
Commando Chipmunk09/27/2019 Yawns. “Well...if you need me to go after them, just lemme know. I'm gonna nap for an hour or two.” Begins climbing up a tree. “Super training is hard work.” Looks at Sukoshi. “Wait, don't what?” Blinks.
little song09/27/2019 “Don’t join them.”
ThatGuyOverThere09/27/2019 "Wouldn't dream of it."
little song09/27/2019 “You couldn’t.”
ThatGuyOverThere09/27/2019 "Oh don't worry, being a former member of one evil group is enough for me."
little song09/27/2019 “... Alright.”
ThatGuyOverThere09/12/2019 Ananias walks underneath the tree, his thoughts buried in the letter Maki had given him.
Commando Chipmunk09/12/2019 Maki spots him. Tells the tree to be quiet and watches.
