Good idea Kitan! I ran with the idea of that lead bandit being a bit more than just a thug.

It might, as you've said, prevent Alexandros from drawing the conclusion that they'd dealt with their cannibal.

I've set the stage with the concealed forth member...


Over to you, peoples!

Should be Clar now, right? With the combat going, she's got no reason not to intervene. Still, I can post if she wants to wait.

Yup its my turn, I should have one up by the end of the night, been busy this weekend.

Error here...
"raised her knife to burry it in his neck"
And here...
"slicing threw the cloth and part of her face"
Two errors here...
"throwing axe burred in their friends spine"

I'm going to go get my post up.

EDIT: Aaaaaand posted. Methinks now would be the perfect time for Lurus to show up. It'll be almost like we ambushed them! XD And Alex, I apologize if I controlled you too much by having the big guy continue his fight with you. I just wanted to keep the flow of battle going. I can change (or even add) anything you want.

Ball is in your court, Morveya. I'll let you decide if our last bandit makes a valiant (I guess?) last stand or tries to get out with his hide intact.

Ah - decisions, decisions!

Let's have him survive, and show up months of game time later. Hell bent on revenge. Tattered and torn. And wielding a very rusted butter knife.


"You - you people. Thought you'd seen the last of ol' Brigand Bob, didya? Ahahahaha!!"


Okay, maybe not.


Probably no post today, but tomorrow almost surely.

I decided that the only ending that really made any sense was having Clarisse kill him.

I didn't consider the bandit either brave or loyal enough for a suicide attack. Nor turning, running and committing suicide by 'arrow in the back.'

His bravado caused him to hesitate, but then he would have given up. And squealed on his employer for revenge. In very end, he knew something was wrong, and that's why he thought about hacking Morveya; to spite the employer.

Of course, Clarisse cannot let him live to talk to the guards. That runs against her whole contract.

And, in this situation, she can fairly easily fob her action off as trying to do the right thing, or the reflex reaction of a trained warrior.

And sorry for just a tad of god-modding there, Clarisse! But I really wanted to neatly dispose of the informant, and write Morveya's reaction to it all.

Your character is well-setup for her introduction now.

Eh its no biggie Morveya, I don't mind being god modded every now and then and as you said it made the most sense.

Also now Clarisse is introduced, well somewhat lol, glad we just got a regular posting order now.

Normally, I do not ever do that. Never, never, never.

But, the brigand's fate was left to me, and it just seemed the cleanest and best wrap-up.


Not looking to start any issues between Alex and Clarisse. So, if it is going to be any true problem with the guards (beyond any that would be agreed as enjoyable RP between you two) then I will edit.

EDIT: Oh -- never mind on that! I see she's posted and in! Can we go ahead and run as is-?

Wheeee Kitan's going crazy!

Looks like I'm finally writing half decently again, at any rate. The post before this one was complete garbage. ._. This time I at least had the idea of contrasting Clarrise's casual looting against Kitan's dramatic, "Oh god what am I doing" which will become a little more apparent in the next post.

I figure Kitan's childishness and Alexandros's encouragement might be just enough to convince Lurus to betray everything he's grown up beleiving, but that doesn't mean he's going to like it, and he's going to half heartedly repress the fact that Kitan is magical at all just to cope. That's why I threw in that delicous little scene.

I've never seen you turn in anything less than a quality post, Kitan. You tend to step outside the box (in a good way), and strive for things that require thought, feeling, and imagination. That's all ace in my book!

Kitan - sorry I didn't get to you in this latest post. During the next round Alexandros is going to bring Kitan up to ride on his horse with him. That way atleast he can feel he has Alexandros between him, Lurus, and the rest of their hard luck world tonight.

Also, if Alexandros passes out from blood loss Kitan can take the reins. Haha.

Morveya won't be happy with that! She is counseling against being a bloody fool on the matter of not paying attention to over demanding wounds. ~_^

Whoof! That was a long one. Slightly over two pages in the word processor. You peoples gave me much to chew on! In a very good way.

And, I did get to Mr. Valyra. Though at the end.

Ms. Dronne...over to you.

I would have been completely fine with letting Kitan traumatize himself in the background a little bit more, but this works just as well. XD

Haha, Alex, you had better hope you stay up. Kitan doesn't know the first thing about how to ride a horse. You'd probably wind up getting thrown right off. Wait, maybe we should go with that- after all, I don't think we've fallen into the mud quite enough yet.

Also, I'm making a motion to keep the rain for the rest of the story. I'm loving the stuff.
