>{ROLEPLAY}<

(You are so ungrateful. I save your life, and you SLAP me? How uncouth)
My face still stinging, partly from my less than fun encounter with the floor, and partly from Baldruf's slapping my face. With armoured gloves on. Nether-the-less, we're alive, thanks to me of course, and not too badly wounded either! Baldruf appears to have broken his fourth and seventh ribs, which might take some time for me to heal, but Cavall seems to be ok, apart from a nasty bruise on his chest. Ah well, better get on with healing Baldruf, lest we get attacked again. I'll have to ply his ribs back into place, with a little luck, and a lot of Alberry juice slathered over the cut I'll have to make, he should be just fine. I believe I also have a couple of brews that should ease the pain. There's going to be a lot of it. I don't envy him right now.

 

This is madness! How could those fools mess the assassination up so badly! These... people Will. Die. I want another assassination team on them pronto! This time, I will up the ante. They are badly wounded. Another assassination will be quick and easy. I'll send teams of assassins out into the forest and set traps. As soon as one of the bastards trips a trap, they're a goner.

 

(No seriously masonmistel, stop reading peoples' minds with your strange magical powers. They are far away, you can not know instantly that the assasination failed.)

 

Wow, I didn't even actually think about that! That was quite stupid off me. Carry on, the assassination was "called off" until my assassins don't return.

 

Everytime I told Baldruf that his plan to, and I quote, his plan to "Find out whoever tried to kill us. Kill them. And then see what happens" would never work, he just stared at me while tapping his new 'pet' mace suggestively. I got the idea, and shut up. But still, we have NO IDEA who is trying to kill us, or even why! And now he's muttering something about people 'reading his mind' or some other rubbish. He's gone completely barmy! Or...maybe its because of the hallucinogenic mushrooms I fed him to relief the pain while I cut open. One or the other anyways. And another thing, this armour is RIDICULOUSLY heavy. I know its only leather, but still, what is the point of these countless little metal studs coating it? They just weigh it down, and worst of all, Baldruf is refusing to let me take the blasted thing off, claiming that we 'look' like the assassins! There's Baldruf, who looks like a five year old playing at dressing as a big bad knight. There's me, struggling to wear a light piece of armour, not exactly the stuff of legends. And there's Cavall, who isn't even disguised as anything! Never mind anyone looking too closely at us, we could be standing at the opposite end of a field, on a foggy day, in the middle of a hailstorm, and people would see through our 'disguise' Hmm....maybe the mushrooms really have clouded his judgement... Oh well, it's not as though we can turn back now anyways, though we still haven't a clue where we're going.

(I was wondering how he knew it was I who tried to kill you!)

 

My assassins have not returned. Something bad must have happened. I knew I shouldn't have sent those stupid fools! The keep is now on lock down. Nothing gets in. Nothing gets out. Guards are watching 24/7 for any intruders. I feel something eerie lurking within my forest. I AM my forest. I feel what it feels, and it obeys my every command.

 

Now even the somewhat dim-witted Cavall has noticed somethings wrong with Baldruf. I mean, "Elephantine menaces"? What the snazberry does that mean? I think the mushrooms I gave him did more than take away his pain for a while, they seem to have taken away ALL of his senses, like sight, smell, and logical thought. Not that he had much of the latter to begin with, but even so, that just makes the situation even more dire. It got even more out of hand, when Baldruf, now flushed in the face for some reason, drew his mace from behind his back.
"Um...sir?" Cavall said respectfully, touching his shoulder as he did so. But his words seemed to have no effect on the deranged idiot, as he opened his mouth to deliver a mighty war cry.
"DEATH TO ELEPHANT KIND! DEATH TO ALL FASHIONABLE TOP HATS! DEATH TO ALL THOSE THAT MOCK ME!"
Now, that would've been fairly heroic, had there actually been any evil, mocking, top-hat wearing elephants nearby. Sadly, there was only a few trees and boulders, which Baldruf seemed to have a personal grudge with. He ran forward, swaying as he did so, and raised the mace, dizzily, to strike...

 

(I wish that you would keep it sane, dylanduran and Hella. I was also kind of hoping we'd bump into each others in the forest and dada and whatnot :L

Also SonicSonic, if you will not remove the latest story post of yours and fuqen bring me to dem safety soon, I'll transform your character into an NPC.)

 

(Fine, turn me into an NPC. )
(EDIT: My brain still aches anyway. )

 

(You can continue in the story, just do as I told you
Edit: @The_Khan let's pretend there was no one in that cave, since I forgot to tell you that SonicSonic isn't there, he's carrying me on his back, to safety from the zombies.)

 

(By the way, since every fantasy story needs a map, I 'ought to make one:

Spoiler: Le Map

Is everyone fine with this?)

 

(So your with Sonic?)

 

(Yep, read my wallpost a few pages ago.)

 

I get bored of waiting, it had almost been all night I was sitting in that tree. I sneak in and wait for my eyes a adjust, I see a bed (quarters) and a spent lantern on the ground. I really need a lantern. I grab the lantern and neatly put it in my bag. I quietly make my way out . I look down and see a second pare of footprints, I must've went to sleep without me knowing. I take my mask off and put it in my bag, I keep my Cloak on though. I turn around in circles trying to decide which way to go. Than I hear noises, more of those blasted things. Too tired to fight, I decide to head North East, around the mountain, for I can't take Nero over. I hop back on Nero and off we go again.

 

(Nice map Monsteri :) I'll work on creating a 3D one using an ancient program I hopefully still have installed. If I find it, and make the map slightly prettier, then I'll post it here :))

(Nvm about the map, I think I must have uninstalled the program some time ago :( Another idea I've got though is creating little 'pictures' of the characters. Say, if Hella tells me what he wants Baldruf to look like, I'll do my best to make a good image of him with a character creating program I luckily still DO have installed. Wadda ya say?)
