Chapter 38
Bloody discovery
T.A. Grimbergen: Hail, Phiip
Philip Cruz'ado: Hail, friend. I am pleased you were able to join us.
T.A. Grimbergen: Aye...it was most distressing leaving Kyil behind.
Philip Cruz'ado: You left her behind?
Saraphin: TA *weeping*
T.A. Grimbergen: What...what is the matter, Saraphin?
Saraphin: Did you see the grave? The others. They must be in trouble
Spag Hetti: [Shout] ooc I need 5 mins afk... brb.
T.A. Grimbergen: the...others?
Saraphin: Did you see the baby's grave?
Maglor the Singer: Grimbergen, thank the Gods!
T.A. Grimbergen: Philip...i had no choice...besides, she is one with the woods and i would have only been a bother. Maglor! What's Saraphin speakingof, these graves?!
Maglor the Singer: We have been sorely beset, brother
Philip Cruz'ado: We have met more of the winged people. It is not safe.
Lytha: What did you do to Josephine?
T.A. Grimbergen: I'm afriad I don't comprehend the situation still...
Saraphin: it was Gunther Tanesson
T.A. Grimbergen: Lytha...don't you mean...AManda?
Lytha: WHERE IS JOSEPHINE? No. Amanda right here. Where is Josephine.
T.A. Grimbergen: Tanesson? Any relation to that cleric Hold?
Saraphin: Did Hold and his Ladyfriend Jacia, I think *looking thoughtfull* did the have a baby?
Lytha: I'm related to someone named Hold? {confused}
Saraphin: It was a baby's grave
Maglor the Singer: We have found evidence that would indicate that Hold Tanneson's group has been destroyed
Saraphin: less then the size of a normal infant...
T.A. Grimbergen: What?! Hold and Jacia...but...
Saraphin: And tracks leading this way... but I lost them...
Maglor the Singer: We found much blood
Saraphin: I am so worried for them... *distraught*
Maglor the Singer: And it appears that Oswald, at the least, is dead
T.A. Grimbergen: Jacia was one of the most powerful paladins next to Sir VIco ...
Saraphin: My heart betrays me with a desire to find them, to... *softly* see what happened...
T.A. Grimbergen: So it is, then. *sighs* There is so much bloodshed in these lands....
Maglor the Singer: Indeed......let us not add ours to the mix
Lytha: Eps
Saraphin: / *softly crying*
Lytha: {hugs Amanda} Why make icky water?
T.A. Grimbergen: Maglor...I had to leave Kyil behind...
Maglor the Singer: Why?
T.A. Grimbergen: She was still too distraught...and perhaps it is better that she had not witnessed this grisly scene
Saraphin: *wrinds hands anxiously*
Maglor the Singer: For my part, life has been a walking shadow, since Moonbeam fell. I am more wounded by his loss than the loss of even fair Belindra
T.A. Grimbergen: Before I left, though, i made certain that she could take the utmost precautions. Besides, she often seems much more comfortable in the woods alone.
Spag Hetti: [Shout] ooc back
Maglor the Singer: Yes.....yes, you are right
T.A. Grimbergen: Indeed...he was a brother to us. General.
Spag Hetti: Grimbergen... good to see you.
Maglor the Singer: It would seem that we three are all that remains of a once-mighty band
Spag Hetti: What of Kyil?
Maglor the Singer: She will return to us........someday
T.A. Grimbergen: Aye...you are all the family I have now, and it pains me to be separated
Maglor the Singer: *nods
T.A. Grimbergen: She sought comfort in the woodlands, alone...and my presence only brought danger to her.
Spag Hetti: I see.
Saraphin: Will she be with us soon?
Lytha: {keeping carefully away from TA. Holds Amanda's hand}
T.A. Grimbergen: I gather so...she has always shown a knack for catching up with us in the utmost efficiency
Saraphin: [Whisper] I wish I could talk to you Lytha
Maglor the Singer: Remember, when next we face the winged devils, we must stay together........... Do not chase them.....let them come to us
Lytha: [Whisper] {giggles} I can talk.
Saraphin: I only chase after those of my friends that need healing
Maglor the Singer: And you will not have to chase if we are all together
Saraphin: *looks at Maglor plaintifully*
T.A. Grimbergen: I gather...that you trek with Spag proved no better in finding Vren's whereabouts, Maglor?
Saraphin: I would very much appriciate that
Maglor the Singer: Nay...... Long did I search amongst the river rocks. All the while weeping
Lytha: [Whisper] What is a Vren? Is it those birds?
Saraphin: I could do a better job protecting my friends *emphasizing friends*
Maglor the Singer: And nary a hair of that wizened head could I find. *smiles at Sara
Saraphin: Vren was a beautifull elf. He was wonderfull. and he taught me something special
Maglor the Singer: There will never be his equal
Saraphin: I will never forget him
Maglor the Singer: But hark you all....when next we return to Esirup
Saraphin: but now he is broken
T.A. Grimbergen: Sara...would you be willing to lend your arms to use if need be in melee?
Maglor the Singer: We must seek out the wizard Aldur
Lytha: Oh. {looks sad. THen brightens} But My isn't broke!
Saraphin: I cannot fight and heal...
T.A. Grimbergen: Aldur? I had not heard of him.
Maglor the Singer: And demand to know about the claw that he had us seek
Spag Hetti: *nods*
T.A. Grimbergen: True...your healing touch is invaluable.,
Saraphin: I will fight only in the direst of situations...
Maglor the Singer: Are all rested then?
Saraphin: oh... my no. *gasping. excuse me
Lytha: {looks nervously}
Spag Hetti: *eyes follow Sara*
Maglor the Singer: We are in strange waters now lads
T.A. Grimbergen: So...what are your thoughts on these 2 new companions, my friends?
Maglor the Singer: And no mistake of it. The woman is ........troubled. As to PHilip.......
T.A. Grimbergen: And, almost a troublesome burden, at times, that girl is
Maglor the Singer: I withhold judgement, but he is a demon with a sword
T.A. Grimbergen: Precisely.
Maglor the Singer: The girl is certainly less burden than was Polradia
Spag Hetti: Hmph.
T.A. Grimbergen: He seemed ...mildly interested in my offer to him for teaching my fellow guardsmen some of his skills.
Maglor the Singer: *looks knowingly at Spag. He holds himself aloof, 'tis true. And he is not overly prone to cooperation. Methinks there are demons that haunt him
T.A. Grimbergen: I cannot imagine ever holding company with the sort like Polradia...it is far more dangerous than travelling without a sword
Maglor the Singer: Agreed. Gro,bergem. *Grimbergen
T.A. Grimbergen: Demons seem to haunt us all...perhaps that is the attraction of this Jacklepine
Maglor the Singer: But it may well be that you will never have to look upon Polradia again. *glances at Spag
T.A. Grimbergen: Oh? How are you... *voice trails off*
Spag Hetti: *coughs* Let us continue on to Osirik...
Maglor the Singer: Agreed
T.A. Grimbergen: I see...
Lytha: {smiles} Ok!
Maglor the Singer: There are many dangers in Jackelpine Grimbergein
Saraphin: I wish we could just teleport there instantly!
Spag Hetti: We move.
Philip Cruz'ado: Good
Lytha: {panting} why run? Birdie!
Philip Cruz'ado: It will be back.
Lytha: Birdie fly away
Maglor the Singer: Let them come
Saraphin: no one is hurt. *smiles lightly*
Lytha: {giggles} Birdie fall down
Philip Cruz'ado: more
Maglor the Singer: let me goive them a spell
Lytha: Don't touch me!~
T.A. Grimbergen: Lytha?
Lytha: Stay away!!!!
Philip Cruz'ado: keep an eye out for that one. I expect it to return.
Saraphin: Sorry TA. That is my fault...
Lytha: Hyperventaliating} Stay away!
Maglor the Singer: Lytha's magics are powerful
T.A. Grimbergen: Ah...I understand...Lytha is special
Saraphin: He won't hurt you... he won't touch you...
Lytha: I won't break Josephine!
Philip Cruz'ado: An interesting group you have, General.
Saraphin: and if you get close to him that won't break Josephine....
Maglor the Singer: Arrows? Are there any arrows to be had?
Saraphin: Just touching him will...
T.A. Grimbergen: Surely Lytha....how can you break her if she's not even here?
Spag Hetti: They are not mine... I am theirs.
Saraphin: That is my fault TA
Lytha: If I touch you I will break Josephine! Stay away!
Saraphin: If he touches you, that will not break her...
T.A. Grimbergen: Agreed, Lytha.
Philip Cruz'ado: You are a General, yet you do not lead in the field?
Lytha: Why? If he touch me don't I touch him?
T.A. Grimbergen: I'll...make an earnest effort to avoid you, Lady Lytha
Philip Cruz'ado: Hm. Things are different here than in my homeland.
Lytha: [looks at Amanda curiously}
Saraphin: well ok, I was not completely fair when I told you that... if you touch him naked... or try and kiss him... that is what will break Josephine
Spag Hetti: We are no army... nor have I ever lead anyone. Maglor named me General for some reason...
T.A. Grimbergen: What?! Saraphin!
Saraphin: *blushes*
Lytha: {confused}
Philip Cruz'ado: Ah. You do have the skill of a soldier, though.
Saraphin: I messed up, ok
Lytha: Oh! I can't love him {nods} Ok!
Saraphin: and it would break her. just not quite the way she thinks it would
T.A. Grimbergen: *sigh* That is ...understandable, given your upbringing with the Aphrodite temple
Saraphin: I hated that temple. *sighs*
Lytha: Temples bad. They break people
Spag Hetti: *looks confused*
Saraphin: Kyili would be terribly hurt...
T.A. Grimbergen: Philip...though Spag may not bark orders, his fighting spirit and tactical mind are an inspiration to us all
Saraphin: I was trying to make thing better
Philip Cruz'ado: I do not question his skill. Or heart.
Lytha: I not break Josephine {nodding}
T.A. Grimbergen: I understand, Sara. It was actually a very creative way that you explained it to her.
Saraphin: I am sorry TA
T.A. Grimbergen: No need to apologize...i also misunderstood.
Lytha: {looks longingly at Amanda}. {smiles}
Saraphin: *holds her hand*
Lytha: {hods it tightly}
