Post by Cesario on May 16, 2006 18:50:53 GMT -5
Cesario merely stared back, locking his cold, crimson red eyes on the woman. He had not realized it but his hands had still been clutching the handle of this sword. Safarah stood before him, staff in hand and body in a defensive fighting position. He snorted under his breath. What a bold bluff he said to himself. He doubted the woman could have out fought a master swordsman such as himself in close quarters. Even if she tried to cast a spell, he would have made it extremly difficult for her. He turned his direction to the wizard, standing nearby, ready to defend his friends if needed. He turned back to the woman, her seething glare still directed towards Cesario. The woman had misunderstood his intentions. He had never intended on killing the wolf. He closed his eyes and gave a profound sigh. His sword hand relaxed and he allowed the weapon to slide back into the sheath. With a brush of his silvery hair, he spoke to the woman. "Hurry and help me place the wolf on the horse. We don't have much time".

Not blinking, she keept her gaze locked on him, watching his every move, she saw the smirk come across his face, then watched as his hand release the weapon he clutched onto seconds before. In a gesture of trust Safarah moved her hand away from the dagger held in the garter on her leg, and taken a more relaxed stance. At that moment it would of been easy to pull one of her small crystal daggers she had lining her garter and sliced his throat, but it would not solve anything, however mad she was, she still felt something about this man named Cesario. He was definetly a rogue, and one that must have been wronged by someone he trusted deeply, for now it was apparent he trusted no one. This caused her to still keep her guard up with him. She handed off her staff to Tharris and asked him to grab and protect Balfor. She spoke to Cesario in calm but firm undertones..
"My dear, do not think for one moment I did not see your hand on your weapon and sence your inner intent and distrust of the wolf/man. And do not think I did not also sence your confidence in a confrontation with me. But one thing you must learn my friend is to never underestimate me. Now shall we put this aside and continue with the pressing task at hand."
Safarah leaned over and grabbed an arm and leg of the limp wolf/man, while Cesario grabbed the other side. The injured soul groaned in pain as he was moved, but was still unable to muster any energy. She quickly looked around to make sure she did not forget anything, then started to walk at a very fast pace toward the east.
As they started to make their way further from the makeshift camp they were just at, she looked over to Tharris and nodded to him in a thanking way. He had put himself between Cesario and Safarah to allow time for the tension to subside. She grabbed Balfor from Tharris, and turned her attention to Joe....
"Joe, when we are through with this journey, I would like to learn swordsmanship from you. I already have some martial art skills. Nothing to write home about, but I am extreemly skilled with daggers and throwing knives not to mention my speed and agility. I also have the ability to call upon extreeme physical strenght from the blood of the dragon that courses through my veins. and dont forget to consider my mant mastered magikal abilities. Dont answer now, just think about it."
She took a few paces extra to put some space between all of them, and kept walking...
((OOC: hey guys... let me know if i'm making the posts to long and wordy ok. And good writing Cesario..BTW, do you have a char sheet?))

Joe tensed when he saw the exchange between Saf and Cesario. In an instant he was ready to strike the man dead. With everything else going on the last thing this party needed was a rogue in the midst who could snap at any time. He watched Cesario with great care even after the confrontation had passed and they had put the wolfman onto the horse. And after Safarah had asked Joe about training and moved on ahead, he dropped back, to keep a steady eye on Cesario, using the excuse of impending danger to have his sword at the ready.

*Tharris figured the confrontation was going to happen eventually, but had already done what he could to delay it in order to allow tensions to simmer before blowing up. He carefully held the dragon and staff while Saf prepared to leave, and when he handed them back to her he made sure she was set and then went over to ensure the shapeshifter was secured well on the horse.*
*Tharris looked at Cesario, "This man is injured and going to be in your care, till we reach our destination." Maintaining eye contact long enough to convey that he was going to hold him responsible for his condition upon reaching where they were going. Tharris turned and moved to the back where Joe was to make sure he was ready for this, then he went to Saf. "You are the one with the destination, where are we aiming for? Or are we just trying to get away from here?" Tharris pulled out his compass and began contemplating the best course to their destination, as he looked over the group one last time. Joe watching their backs, Cesario on his horse with the shapeshifter, Saf taking point and Himself moving between everyone keeping an eye out for threats coming from the sides. He handed his signal whistle to Joe, "If I get too far out or you see something behind let me know." With that he turned and took off. Moving with the group keeping a wide berth watching for threats.*

Stepping softly but in a swift manor, she moved through the thick overgrowth of the woods towards the east. Not only did they need to escape this stifiling presence that was coming down on them, but she also had to make up for lost travel time. She kept looking over her shoulder to check on the status of Cesario and the wolf/man. Her mind kept telling her he was not to be trusted, and she should listen to it, but her heart was kind and forgiving. She didnt realize she had drifted off into her own thoughts until Tharris spoke to her..
"Well, at this point, I believe we should head towards my destination which it in an easterly direction, but we must move swiftly, as we also should avoid this danger. I must say that I felt the threat more now then I did durring the day, which could be because it is closing in, or it could be more safe to rest durring the day. I will know better as the sun rises. For now I believe we need to keep moving."
She moved forward with her staff in hand, doubling as a walking stick. It was better to put some space between them as it allowed a makeshift parimeter to cover all sides. She had hoped for the sun to rise soon for she had not rested properly, and was physically at a disadvantage....
((OOC: sorry on the bad quality on this one.. I have a creative block t-day or something..LOL))

Yung Gun slowly opened his eyes and sat up. He was riding on a horse with these strangers.
*Why did they take me? They jus should have left me. Not again...........*
An arrow came from one of the trees towards the girl's head. Yung Gun jumped off the horse and grabbed the arrow before it reached her. He landed on his feet and said to his companions, "Please leave. They dont want you......."
From the trees, a voice says, "Its the demon!"

As she walked along at a fast pace, she could see the orange and purple hues of the coming sunrise. It was a site she welcomed with open arms, and it allowed her to relax a bit. She decided that it would be a good time to go check on the wolf/man and see how he is doing.
As she approached Cesario and the injured shape shifter, she noticed that the injured soul was stirring and starting to wake up. She rushed to his side and caressed his head.
"Please take it easy, dont try to over do yourself."
As she spoke, she turned to get a flask filled with fresh water, to give to the still injured man, thats when she saw him sit up mumble something. Before she could to turn to him, with an amazing agility he reahced out and caught an arrow clearly directed at her with the intent to kill.
She shook inside, for it was here, the thing they had been running from all night was here, and there was no escape. The only thing they could do was fight. The problem is that she could feel this evil, but not see it yet, and that made her terrified for her companions safety.
As she readied her staff and drew a throwing crystal, the shapeshifter spoke to her in a suprisingly stern voice for his condition, telling them to leave, and making it appear as though this thing wanted him. Well surely she would not leave, as this thing had just tried to kill her, and let alone she also made a vow not to let him die, a vow she intended to keep.
"This is hardly the time to be a hero. First what is your name. second why did he call you a demon. Third, I will not leave, I promised you I would not let you die, and I mean it. "
As she spoke, she saw it...coming towards them....The time had come so she readied her self. With one swift motion, she pulled out a throwing crystal and reared back her arm, as she lunged her arm forward, she released the crystal with lightening speed and threw the dagger right at the the thing coming toward them...
"Umm Tharris, Joe... A little help here!!!! "

since he was at the back of the group when it attacked, Joe had a clear line of site...
he turned to Tharris, "make sure Cesario or this new guy don't do anything stupid, kill them if they do," then he turned and ran headlong into the oncoming battle, electricity arching out from his body to connect with whatever evil intended them harm.

Yung Gun looked at the girl who helped him and shook his head. He then looked at the body of the person she killed.
*its too late......*
Yung Gun turned to the girl, "Now they will be after you, too"
A person appeared from the trees and said, "Were here for our money and we kill anyone that tries to stop us."
Just then a group of people jumped from out the trees and bushes and rushed toward the group. Before Yung Gun reached for his weapon he said, "I think my name's Yung Gun"

Looking down at the group of travelers, that is now its' prey, the evil had to laugh. For they had no idea he was there and was going to kill them. Even better now,was the fact that a group of bandits was distracting them, making the kill even more enticing. He could almost taste the warm blood on his lips. But for now he had to wait, and watch them fight amongst themselves. Stupid mortals.
Without a notice, he was caught in the upper shoulder with a crystal. It was enchanted with something as he felt a rush of cold run through him. Obviously the woman knew he was there as she was not facing the bandits, but was looking around in his direction. Her blood will taste the sweetest. But for now he needed to tend to his wound, as he felt he was loosing feeling, and saw ice crystals forming on his dark rotted skin...
With one swoop, he lept from his perch in the trees, still invisable to the normal eye, and swooped down toward the woman, barely brushing her, then leaving to heal the inflicted wound...
"I will drain the sweet blood from her beating heart."

Post by Cesario on May 24, 2006 17:45:05 GMT -5
In an instant, the enemy erupted from every corner of their surroundings and rushed towards Cesario and the companions, brandishing bladed weapons and closing around the group to prevent escape. Cesario grinned and scanned the area, trying to discern the numbers of their enemies. He had known their presence all along, and he figured that Tharris knew as well since he was acting as scout. It didn't matter how stealthy they had been. It would have been impossible to have missed one with quite a number of them following the group. In one swift motion, Cesario gracefully dismounted from his steed, his boots softly touching down on the ground with his entire body in perfect balance. With a nod and a pat to his horse's side, Vetiver galoped off to Safarah's side with Yung gun still saddled on her back. Immediatly, his sharp hearing detected movement behind him, turning his attention to a pair of nearby bandits who were now charging at him, weapons fully drawn and with killer intent in their eyes. Cesario took a deep breath and relaxed himself. Things are getting interesting indeed. With a blink of an eye, Cesario had his fine mithril longsword in his right hand, his wickedly sharp poison dagger on his off-hand. A favorite of Cesario's and the most commonly used in his repertoire of sword fighting styles, The main-gauche. With that grin still on his face, he assumed a stance with his off-hand as the lead. The balls of his left foot firmly placed forward and his right leg evenly aligned with his right shoulder, both legs slightly bent and not too far apart. He brought his right hand up, arching his elbows and bringing his longsword horizontally pointed forward, the blade a few inches away from his face. In an explosion of movement he met the oncoming enemy's clumsy lunge with a swift parry of his dagger. Amatuer. With a turn of his wrist, the mithril longsword automatically whipped forward into a quick horizontal slash, aiming for the bandit's exposed adams apple with the speed and precision of a demon.

Having to catch her balance, she felt the presence of something playing with her, and it was apparent that it was not concerned with the others, atleast not right now. She knew whatever it was, she had hit it with the ice enchanted throwing crystal, and it did not like it at all. She may not be able to physically see it, but she was not defenseless against it.
She had felt the pressence lift and that allowed her to concentrate on the bandits that also attempted to kill her. As vetiver came to her, she hopped upon her back and drew her dagger from her right leg to defended her companions.
She took note of the where abouts of Tharris, Joe, Cesario, and young gun. It had seemed that there was a larger group ot these bandits heading straight towards yunggun. Safarah gave vetiver a gentle nudge, and spoke softly to the regal animal.
"Well sweetie, it looks like we may have some work to do here."
Vetiver launched towards the group with lightening fast movements, jumping over logs and circling back around for a straight shot at one of the lagging bandits. As if a perfectly timed play, safarah lunged downward on the rogue bandit with the dagger and caught him right at the nape of the neck and drove the weapon in a downward motion. She felt the vibration if the bones cracking and shattering from the force of the blade upon them, then felt it slide out through the front side if his neck, right below hs collarbone.
As she pulled the dagger back, she was sprayed with the warm blood of the victim, as she watched him fall. She wiped the blood from her face and mouth with her forearm and couldnt help but get the taste of the blood. It was not a taste she enjoyed in the least.
As she turned to find her next target, she noticed that she had drawn the attention away from Yung gun and drawn it to her as now, the bandits were all now coming at her...This could get ugly she thought.

(((I can't log in at my work, so... eesh, can't edit this if I screw it up)))
As Joe reached the first bandit, four had already fallen from his lightning.
Not knowing who was the real evil here, he decided not to use deadly force on those he attacked, just enough to incapacitate. He let his sword loose in the air, using it only to defend against blows against him as he levitated it around him. This left both of his arms free to do all the non-lethal damage he wanted to.
Joe caught the man's arm, breaking it as he threw him to the ground, then put a well placed kick to his jaw before turning to see the rest that were near him veering away towards yungun instead.
He smiled a wicked smile and let his control of his sword go.
"Not so fast" he said to himself as he channeled his magic to send three more bolts to hit the front of the group causing the others to stumble momentarily. Quickly his sword rose back off the ground again as Joe rushed towards the rest.

Yung Gun smiled and felt his body change.
*if they want to see the demon. then they can see the demon.......*
Yung Gun started to change. He transformed into a weird creature. It was unlike any animal ever seen. It stood on 2 legs with fur all over it. It looked like the type of creature that only appered in your nightmares.
The people looked at him with great fear. Yung Gun then quickly ran towards a person and ripped him in half and ate the top part. The people turned around and screamed running. All that was heard was the people screaming 'Demon'.
Yung Gun then turned back to human with his hood still covering his face. He then laughed and said, "That was fun......."

*Tharris was off to the side of the group at the moment and had seen a few of the bandits before hand being a forest hunter by trade he had little difficulty sneaking up behind the group on this side. "Ametuers." He thought to himself, "You brought this many people to take out a group of 5?" As he snuck up on his first victim he pulled his knives out of his boots the first one was quick he came up behind him holding his left knife in his teeth, hand clamped over this ones mouth while the knife came around and up through the bottom of the chin, twist and a flick of his wrist thats one down 2 more to go he pulled his knife out and layed the man down with his left hand, and while wiping his blade off on the mans shirt he quickly searched the man for any identifying marks of organization. "Blast! Nothing. ill just make sure one of these bastards lives i want to know what they are after." he set off after the second of this group coming up quickly he reversed his grip, putting the blade out in his left hand. covering this ones mouth with his right hand he brought his knife around and punctured the side of this throat then pushed it across ripping out his throat repeating laying the man down while wiping his blade off he looked around. "Good," He thought, "Noone has heard me yet and there is one left, now to keep him here and alive for questioning." Tharris paused a moment to pull out a short length of rope and put one of his knives back in its boot with the rope hanging around his neck he came up behind the thrid member of the little squad he was taking out left hand over the mouth right hand blade on the neck he leaned forward and whispered in his ear "You move, You die. It's that simple. Do you understand?" Tharris waited for the man to nod. Tharris tied the mans hands behind his back then kciked the back of his knees taking the man down he slammed the man down on his stomach and pulled up his legs hogtieing him then he slid his knife away and stood looking over the rest of the group drawing his scimitars he ran into the middle looking around seeing who could use his help the most and heading in that direction. He had a feeling in the pit of his stomach that these were not the problem but he couldnt sense what the problem was and he began to ask mielliki for help in this matter.

Breathing heavily from the rather easy battle they encountered, she looked around and saw her companions finishing off there advisaries. She could not help but wince at the grusome violence of Yung Gun tearing the bandit apart. It was not something she expected to see, ecpicially from a soul she had sensed so much innocence from. As she looked at Tharris, she was truly impressed by his skill and precision, however the one that made her stare in awe and amazment was the outsider Cesario. Clearly he was trained, and trained well, but it did worry her.
Kicking the dead bandit, she decided to see if there was anything worth collecting off of him. She had felt badly for doing it, but they were intending on doing the same to them, had the tables of turned. As she foraged through the warm blood soaked thin leather armor of her recent victim, she didnt find much except a few gold piecessome teeth, and a very strange saphyre blue gem. The inside swirled continously as if it had a life of its own. She decided to keep it and see what made it act in this way.
She walked over and petted Vetiver as she watched the others gather up with her...

(((ok, I was trying to wait my turn, but i'm sick of waiting on cesario once again.)))
As Joe rushed towards the remaining bandits, he saw the wolfman suddenly change for again and devour part of a would be attacker. As the others ran away, Joe stopped and looked at Yungun intently. Cesario had been the one he was worried about, and he was a good swordsman, but swordplay along was no mach for magic. But this one, who exibited such power after being badly injured, and the grotesque laughter afterwards...
Quickly glancing around at the remaining unconcious guards on the ground, Joe walked up to Yungun and spoke, "Perhaps I acted rashly when I healed you. Tell, me, why were these men chasing you, and more important, why the hell did you do that? Answer quick or I may be inclined to put you in a similar state as when we found you."

*vampressqueen was travelling from Torm Guardians to Bloodfin when she heard a lot of commotion coming from the forest. Stranger yet, Nautilus-her black wolf- started to behave oddly & took off towards the ruckus.She mounted Equila & followed her wolf with apprehension sensing the great evil in the air. Smelling the scent of fresh blood in the air filled Equila with bloodlust as the 3 companions charged into battle killing a bunch of the bandits.*
Vamp also saw an aquitence (sp) Joe threaten a wolf that was in the thick of the battle with her friend Safara. Nautilus suddenly dashes toward those 2 & separates them to prevent a fight.
Thinking to herself, Vamp says," Well that explains Nautilus' strange behavior. There was a fellow wolf nearby."
She then yells at her wolf telepathically, "You could have answered me when I asked you what was wrong earlier instead of ignoring me & charging recklessly into battle! Honestly, you can be so stubborn!"
Vampress then goes to Safara to find out what has transpired here.
"That's a pretty mare there, Saf. Is she yours?"
* goes to pet the brown mare*
"Are you ok? Were you hurt at all, Saf?"

As she gently caressed vetiver, a deep rooted chill ran up her spine. Although some would run in fear from it, Safarah was all to familiar with with the feeling, and knew who was approaching before visually seeing her. She turned to see Nautilus in a full charge toward Yung Gun with Vampress Queen close behind.
She looked at Nautilus and Vamp and smiled.."Ahh Animal magnetism...I'm fine, it takes more than a few rogue bandits to get me."
"Oh this beautiful mare, no I'm afraid not, she belongs to the man over there."
Safarah points to the newcomer called Cesario and smiles.
"She truly is beautiful isn't she? So tell me, what brings ya so far off the beaten path today? I'm sure you smell what our day has entailed thus far. Feel free to feed on any one of these worthless creatans."
Safarah retrived her baby dragon balfor that had been strapped to the side of Vetiver. She knew that with the amount that the little guy could eat, he would be very hungry, and there was plenty of fresh meat laying aroung for him to feast on. As she took him out of the carrier she had him securely placed in, she noticed the tension between Yung Gun and Joe. At this point she was tired of playing peacemaker between the men and figured to let them do what they do best, fight it out if they so choose, but she would not let them kill eachother. As she put Balfour down near the newly slaughtered bandit, Safarah smirked as she watched him dive into the the corpse and tear and ravage the meat off the throat of the unlucky rogue. He definetly had strong instincts, and it made safarah realize that her intent of delivering this beautifil creature to one of his own kind to be properly raised was still the pressing issue. It would hurt to leave him, for she loved the little albino dragon, but she trusted draco, and knew how important it was for him to be raised by his own.
