"The Prisoner at the Stake" | Juniper, Kil'Kenny, Orla, Ayla, Toron, Kashi
little song09/03/2019
[Ayla] "Hey!" From the wall. "Juniper!"
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper looks up. Shields her eyes trying to see through the rain.
little song09/03/2019 "You're not allowed to leave the town girly."
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Calls back up, "I wanted to find my sister's grave." More somber, "I think I did."
little song09/03/2019 Sigh... "Alright alright... just we can’t ensure your safety if you leave."
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper: Nods. "I understand."
little song09/03/2019 Jumps down to help her back in. "Older or younger?"
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper: "What?" Walks over.
little song09/03/2019 "Your sister?"
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 "Oh..." Looks down briefly then back at Ayla. "Older. She was my older sister."
little song09/03/2019 Nods. "I lost my younger... and a brother... and uncle... it hurt. But you’ll be okay." Pats her head.
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Nods, then looks back over at the grave site. "It's not as painful as that... I actually have never met my sister... in fact that is the most painful part of it all. She never even knew about me nor me her until three weeks ago."
little song09/03/2019 "... sorry. Maybe later. I can go with you and you can plant flowers."
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper: Small smile. "Thanks. I appreciate that."
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny comes marching up to Adventurer's Outpost, Orla close behind, in a hood.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 From the walls the guards inspect the strangers for suspicious movement.
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper: Walks with Ayla around the corner towards the gate and spots Kil'Kenny.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny: Sees Juniper and waves in greeting, rascally smile, stops in front of gate.
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper: Mental head desk. "Oh no..." Small groan.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny: Talking to guard. "This is adventurer's Outpost, isn't it? I'd like to speak to Donindor, good man!" Noting the guard's attire.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 Guard whispers to his buddy. "Open the gate!"
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny bows slightly with a wink. "Thank you." Marches in. Orla follows.
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper glances over to Ayla.
little song09/03/2019 "That guy bothering you?"
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 "Not exactly."
little song09/03/2019 "Don’t worry. I’ll bash his head if he try’s anything." Smiles.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 They eye them all very closely.
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Glances at Ayla amusement in her eyes and a small grin pushing on the corner of her mouth. "Well, he's more annoying than anything."
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny: Arms crossed, eyeing him back. "Who're you?" Blurts.
little song09/03/2019 "I’m sanctified. You got a problem with that." Getting up in his face.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny: Blinks. "You can be sanctified all you want, I just like to know who I'm talking to." Orla: Soft sigh.
little song09/03/2019 "Ayla."
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny: Smiles. "Hey, Ayla. You wouldn't happen to be the tour guide around here, would you? I'm Kil'Kenny, by the way." Coughs.
little song09/03/2019 "No."
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 Guard to Ayla, "He mentioned Donindor by name, I think he should see the Master."
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny shrugs. "Aaach, shame."
little song09/03/2019 "Ohhh... heck yeah he should. Can I take him?"
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 KK: Turns to guard, listening.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 Nods at Ayla.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Orla places hand on Kil'Kenny's arm in warning.
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper watches from beside Ayla. Then notices Orla.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny clears throat. "Yeah, I'd....be glad to see the Master...."
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Raises an eyebrow then looks at the gate.
little song09/03/2019 "Cool. Follow me. Hey stay safe okay kid." To Juniper.
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 "Could... could I meet this master too?"
little song09/03/2019 "... there... I mean... I don’t think... well you're a healer... yeah. Come along."
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny keeping chin up, looking around at everything as they walk. VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Follows along. "Thanks."
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 As the group is pushed along towards the inn, one of the sights is a Kokkan, on a raised wooden platform, many men attend to it, appearing to be preparing it. The Kokkan is bound with chains, and gagged and blindfolded.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny notices Kashi. Brow furrows in anger, glances back pointedly at Orla. Orla's skin crawls with fear, can hardly breathe.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 They also see the many cannons, man-at-arms, and military equipment replacing much of what was the peaceful outpost.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny: "What'd she do...?"
little song09/03/2019 Kashi: Hanging slightly limply. Like asleep or trying too.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 Men stack bundles of wood around the platform.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny: Clears throat, struggling to contain composure. "You all seem busy, danger in these parts?"
little song09/03/2019 A: "Heathen." Matter-of-fact-ly.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny: decides he hates the Sanctified, but instant calm washes over his features. "Good. Tell me more...I'm interested. Have a score to settle with those no good Kokkans anyway."
little song09/03/2019 Glances... "That’s odd though...." Shrugs. "I don’t know. The master hasn’t decided about them yet."
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper: Watches everything and doesn't say much. "If they need medical treatment I can help with that as well."
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 Toron walks by, carrying a gunpowder barrel.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny: "He wouldn't be interested in selling her, would he? I wouldn't call myself a slave trader...but..." Shrugs.
little song09/03/2019 "Hey Toron!?"
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 Stops in his tracks. Very sharp..."Yes!?"
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper: Raises an eyebrow at Kil'Kenny's last words and glances towards the hooded figure of Orla.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Orla meets her gaze, eyes wide.
little song09/03/2019 "What’s going on? We burning her or something?"
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny listening carefully.
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Moves beside Orla and uses a low tone under her breath that only Orla can hear. In Viridian. "Are you a slave?"
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Orla: Eyes go huge, stares at Juniper in utter shock. Then breaks into big smile.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 "What? Her?" Looks. "Master's orders is all I know. Said to pile it high, that is it."
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Orla: Shakes her head quickly. "No longer," she says back in Viridian.
little song09/03/2019 "Weird... "This way."
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny clenches fists, keeps walking. Orla looks back at Kashi, scared.
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Glances at Kil'Kenny, eyes narrowed, then gives a quick nod and continues to follow Ayla.
little song09/03/2019 "So the master has actually been sick bleeping elves did it. So if you can help that would be good."
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 BOOM! A cannon test fires.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Orla: Lets out little squeak-roar sound and drops to a crouch. Kil'Kenny: Spins around, guns drawn.
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper: Turns towards the sound, trying not to be startled since she's been around the noise for a bit anyway.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 Guard takes Kashi by the hair. "Hear that heathen!? Next time you'll be on the other side of it!" Shoves her head down.
little song09/03/2019 "Put it down." Arrow on KK point blank. Kashi: Muffled cry. "You're not in a good position to fight, Mr." Put the guns away.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 Toron puts down his barrel, draws flintlock at KK. Other guards notice and bring their hands to their hilts.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny puts them away quickly. "I'm sorry, nervous instincts. You have to watch your back in unfamiliar territory." Orla gets up again.
little song09/03/2019 "Yeah yeah."
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 Toron goes back to work, the guards seem to eye Orla, hands remain on their hilts.
little song09/03/2019 Looks back up to the Kokkan. Kashi: Alert and listening.
VioletofSherwood09/03/2019 Juniper had moved discreetly in front of Orla when the cannon went off to shield her with her long traveling coat. Moves onward not looking at Orla.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Orla almost steps towards where Kashi is. Kil'Kenny slams arm in front of her. "MOVE," low bark. Orla steps back quickly, continuing following him. Looks at juniper in thanks.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 It isn't Orla's shielded appearance, it is the strange sound and behavior she made...
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 Guard: Thick Vachelous accent. "I bet you are feeling the heat heathen, not as much as you will soon." Evil laugh.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny: Mutters to self. "Hope I can be there to watch the show."
little song09/03/2019 Kashi: Looks up. Sorta.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 Another Guard: "So when do we get to light this thing?" 1st: "Perhaps soon. Master didn't specify. "Just keep rigging for now."
little song09/03/2019 Probably no one can see it but tears starting to fall from Kashi.
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 KK and Orla both listening carefully, pretending to be waiting.
little song09/03/2019 A: Leads to the inn. "You coming."
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 KK and Orla follow.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 2nd: Says quietly. "Rumor has it that the Traitor gave this heathen a dagger?" 1st: "That's privileged information, Master still sensitive about his brother losing his faith." 2nd: "I understand. He going to make him watch her burn?" 1st: "It's what I would do."
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 KK still keeping calm exterior. But REALLY wants to help.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 1st: "You know the old mantra 'Through pain and suffering, there is purification...'"
little song09/03/2019 Leads in.. "Good morning. Is the master available. This man was asking for Donimdor."
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 2nd: "...To detach us from the things that bind us to the flesh."
Commando Chipmunk09/03/2019 Kil'Kenny: Cynical smirk at the words.
Yankee Samarai09/03/2019 "This way..."
little song09/03/2019 Leads to him.
