Ryudo Lee's Legacy

[Cheese Foxlee]

[Thanks so much to Llearch For providing the information in the links.  I encouage all new comers to read up a little bit.  You might enjoy it, and I shoud give you a couple good Ideas on What may come later in the game.]

Winger sniffed the air and look back to see the "man bat" that had just arrived.  "There's no trouble here, so long as the young miss returns what she took from me.  You can go back you your tobacco." He chuckles and then addresses the lady.

"Miss Rei was it?  I only want what's mine by right, and I'm not going to kill ya.  The fact is, I  doubt that I, or any other man for that matter could." He laughed a bit again.  "You have quiet a talent for mischief. I can see that well enough. Return that bag and I'll give you a tenth of it's content for your trouble."  winger Reached out his arm to take  the bag.  "You have to admit, 27 gold coins is more than generous, especially When I should have you thrown in prison; Not that I believe that to be possible either, of course."

[Hurray Aisha has joined! Welcome back!]

[Joat]

“Do they have any grape soda? I’m quite fond of that.” Sylva sits down next to Cogidubnus. “As for what I wanted to talk about, well… I’m kinda new to this dimension. I don’t know what things are like here. They seem to be the same, but I don’t know for sure.” Sylva looks a bit sad. “I wouldn’t have had to leave if it weren’t for Slevrani. She possessed me and made me kill my friends and family. She turned me into a monster in the eyes of the people. That’s why I had to move to this dimension.” She pauses for a moment. “Sorry. I’m getting off the subject, aren’t I? My name is Sylva Xynthea, by the way.”

[Snuggles]

She looks up at winger "Thank you sir." Now looking at the voice from before to help her, she freaked. She blinked right behind winger. "What the hell are you... oh my... I am so sorry..." She looks up to Sebastian that was kind of pealding him not to hurt her. She slowly gave back the bag of coins not knowing whats going to happen next because she has never been caught.

[topher chee]

As Topher strums the bar top, he observes the ferals around him.  He hears a glass clomp and he turns to find his pint of milk.  He leaves a gold coin at the table and leaves to sit at a nearby round table.  As he begins to finish the pint he realizes he never fed his heeler, Blue.  He gulps down the remaining drops of milk and dashes out the door.  He looks up at the sky, nods, and engulfs himself into a flame.  He speeds throught the air toward the forest and notices a minor quarrel beneath him.

[Aisha deCabre]

((Haha, well, I can't be expected to resist an old RP for too long, now can I? ))

While approaching the bar, Aisha playfully punched Gareeku's shoulder with a laugh.  "Most of the time, you do.  This place carries one of my better ones."

The panther looked around at the assortment of patrons; still as much in business as ever, with some new faces strewn out everywhere merely enjoying their drinks and what have them.  It was the kind of place that anything, creature or being, would have felt was safe to spend the night in...that is if something didn't happen.  To any of those who looked back curiously to see who had come in, she gave a friendly nod and took a seat at the bar.

As she looked around for a barkeep, a thoughtful look came to her eyes.  Huh, I guess Ryudo hasn't returned.  Wonder who keeps this place up and running now?

[Stygian]

The bat's look became a bit sour, even incredulous, as he backed a bit, but then his mouth parted and his fangs glistened in a warm smile. He chuckled a bit.
   "Hehe... It's allright miss. You wouldn't believe how many times I've had that question, really." He let go of her shoulder and stepped back, making a fluid and measured bow. "Sebastian König, priest in her Blind Lady's service, and at yours. And since there seems to be no real problem here, why don't I escort you to a calmer place so you and the good sir can talk this over?" he said, nodding his head toward the avian with a friendly expression and offering Rei a large wrapped arm. His ears twitched only slightly, as he seemed to notice something.
   Hmmm? Someone was quoting Goldsmith? Was there someone from that world here...?

[Cogidubnus]

Cog motions to the large number of wine bottles that dot the bar's shelves. "I'm sure that they carry many, many grape-flavored drinks here. As for grape soda, well, one never knows. The barkeep does seem to be well-stocked: this Whiskey isn't half-bad," He says, taking another sip from his glass. The light reflects off his shades.
"Your story is unfortunate. "When lovely woman stoops to folly, And finds to late that men betray, What charm can soothe her melancholy, what art can her guilt wash away?"," Cog says, shaking his head. "It sounds like you had quite an ordeal," Cog says, smiling sadly.
"As far as this dimension, well, it seems to be like most others. Up is up, down is down, and the sky is high.  I'm new in town, so I couldn't say what to expect around here..." Cog points to some of the newcomers to the Inn, "But, if they are any indication of the type of patron local to here, than certainly we are in for exiting times. My name is Cogidubnus, by the way."

[Gareeku]

Observing Aisha's reaction to his teasing, Gareeku laughed softly as he walked to the bar with her. Ordering an ale for himself and whatever drink Aisha wanted, the wolf gave the bartender he had caught the attention of, and ordered from, a couple of gold coins for a pouch that was attached to his waist, before sipping his drink and observing the others who were in the room. The tavern reminded him of the one near his hometown of Harkhun; creatures and beings could be seen socialising with each other, enjoying a drink together as the tensions in the outside world had seemingly been forgotten; something which Gareeku could not help but smile softly at.

"So, who's this Ryudo character I keep hearing so much about?" the wolf asked as he turned to Aisha, a look of curiosity on his face as he spoke.

[Cheese Foxlee]

Winger, nodded and headed backward the bar, glad to have his gold back.  "If only things had gone so easily two years ago."  He laughed to himself.  "Rei, I'll get you your gold once We are back inside, perhaps you would be so kind as to tell us why you want it so ba..." His thought was interrupted upon entering the  door way of the bar.  "Well, I'll be a yellow belly tree toad!"  He said with an expression of shock on his face. "Aisha? Is that you?"

[Joat]

“I swore off alcohol years ago. Anyway, I wonder if there are any magic shops around here,” Sylva says.

[This one may be small, but the next one should be quite large.]

*digs around and finds original character post*




Character Name: Carra'Rosgon Su'Arraen Ernil(short name: Carran).

Character Age: Appears to be around 16 to 18, actual age is unknown.

Species: Grey Fox, appears to be Kinain (descended from the fair folk).
Sex: Male.

Description: Appears to be a simple fox (but no fox is simple ) He has gray body fur except his face and front side, which are white. His face is accented by gray fur that also runs as a stripe from his forehead, down his muzzle and ending at his little black nose. His ears, paws and small marks on his muzzle are black. He has eyes of nearly electric blue and dusky blond head fur/hair. His attire is a mixture of arcane mystic and stylish fighting attire, a cross between Chinese kung-fu outfit and rune embroidered wizard's robes in blue and black with silver embroidered runes and symbols. He carries a fine silvery long sword known as Isenrail.

Classification Type: Warrior Mage.

Special Powers: Possesses spells of Elemental Magic, Dark Magic (not evil magic!) and minor spells from Light Magic (healing mostly). The sword Isenrail is magical and ancient, but itself does not possess any amazing attack powers other than its ability to channel a spell of its user to enhance its own strike (at a detriment to duration and area of effect).

Items of note: Silver Long Sword "Isenrail", Arcane outfit, Bracers, Flute, Rowan Staff with Sapphire orb.

Special notes: Vulnerable to Necromantic magical effects (life draining, Inflict wounds), mostly unaffected by Spirit magics (Soul captures, Spirit healing) and abhors armor (with the exception of bracers and light chain shirts *that's stretching it though*).


EDIT (03/02/07): Companion character added: Alia Beshley (canine, gypsy-mage)





After many long months of travelling through jungle, desert, forest, tundra and plains the fox mage had finally made it back to civilized and somewhat more familiar lands. 

"This would have been easier if I had not gotten lost back there in the desert.  That rabbit looking for Al-ba-kirk-ee did not help either, his directions were bad."

The gray fox spied a bar just up the road and headed towards it, a spot of tea would be nice.  He nearly bumped into the fellow taking up the doorway.

"I say, mind if I pass and enter here sir?"

[Snuggles]

Looks around Winger to see all the new people at the bar. Upon Seeing one of her own kind at the bar, she blinks right  next to her and starts to talk to her in their tongue. >"It is nice to one of your own kind out here. So how have you've been, sister?"<

[Stygian]

Stygian stepped in through the doors along with Winger and Rei, moving behind them. He stopped halfway in through the doors though, turning his attention to two of the figures at the bar, more specifically the panthress and the wolf, though it would be very hard to tell for anyone else that he did.
   That was... did he know...? No. Not this way, or this time. Yet he knew. Damn things for being so complicated. Ah, well... He walked up to the bar, deciding he'd play the part he had chosen for now. If it turned out that things were different from how he perceived them he would adapt. And he'd have to talk to them anyhow. But now was not the time.
   Smiling again, Stygian sat down beside the panthress.
   "Hmmm...? A meeting of friends? Well... I who thought this was a rather gloomy day up until now... Barkeep! A good shot of single malt, please," he said, and turned his eyeless gaze to Aisha. "Good day miss." He nodded to the wolf too. "And a good day to you too sir. I take it you frequent this establishment?"

[Aisha deCabre]

Sparing a smile to Gareeku as she recieved an ale of her own, she became thoughtful while taking a sip.  It had been a while since the whole angel fiasco, but she could remember much about the events and their party leader.  She swallowed.  "Ryudo and his family used to own this bar, I think...I believe I told you of the quest we all went on.  Afterward, nobody's seen them since, but he's the one who found the first angel part..."

Suddenly, she was interrupted by a familiar voice and turned back her head to glance at the door.  Her eyes widening in surprise, she stood and took a polite bow of greeting.  "By the gods, it's good to see you again, Winger.  Why don't you come in, you're blocking the doorway.  Tell me what you've been doing all this time," she laughed and pointed to the avian while sitting down.  "My old friend here might tell you about Ryudo better than I can."

With a smile she relaxed and sipped more of her drink, swallowing and nodding her greetings back at the other panthress that had greeted her.  <"I have been well, and yourself?"> Finally, she also greeted the individual who had sat with she and Gareeku.  At his inquiry, she spared a knowing smirk. "I've only had the pleasure of frequenting here once..."

[Gareeku]

Listening to Aisha explain, Gareeku took a few sips of his ale.
"Ah yes, I remember." The wolf commented, nodding in acknowedgement slightly before taking another sip of his ale.

Turning to see who had called out Aisha's name, Gareeku blinked and watched as Aisha and the stranger greeted each other. Getting up, the wolf walked over and, with a friendly smile, shook the stranger's hand and bowing politely.
"My name is Gareeku Manoko. It's a pleasure to meet you." Gareeku said warmly, before returning to the bar and taking his seat.

Listening to Aisha and the other panthress speak to each other, the wolf smiled slightly.
Hmm, I didn't realise Panthers had their own language. Gareeku thought to himself, taking another sip of his ale before turning to the stranger who had greeted him and Aisha.
"I've never been here before in my life." Gareeku replied with a slight smirk, "Though I've stories about it."

[Stygian]

"Stories?" Stygian said, going along. "I haven't really had the time to get up to date with things here... but where are my manners?!" The bat stood up and walked over, reaching a large, long-fingered and clawed paw out at the wolf. "Sebastian König. That's Ke-eu-nich. Minister of the Blind Lady. It's a pleasure to meet you, sir." Then, his head turned to the panthress again. His smile was warm, and almost familiar. "Y está bien verle también, señorita."*
   There, he thought. If there is anything to talk about, that should put some questions for later into their heads.

[*And it is good to see you too, miss.]

[Cheese Foxlee]

Winger laughed as he settled into his chair.  " Stories! Yes I suppose I could tell you  quite a tale, but I've no doubt that Aisha filled you in on most of the details."

"Ryudo was a good man, and a wise and powerful Dragon to boot." Winger smiled as he glanced up at Aisha.  "Oh, the first time I saw him shapeshift was a big surprise."  I was so angry and confused.  I could have killed him!" Winger said slamming his fist  on the counter top. "Or rather, he could have killed me, Depending on who you ask.  I thought he stole my bag of gold! Which reminds me..." He said turning to Rei. 

"Here is what I owe you. I'm bird of my word." He said handing over twenty-seven gold coins.  "Oh what the heck! here's another three, that will make it a round 30 gold pieces. spend it wisely and don't let me catch you piking anyone else pockets while were here!"

Winger order a tall glass of ale, and took a big sip.  "Now where was?   Oh yes, Ryudo! He taught me a great deal about dragons, As did my little friend, the rabbit.  those to where probably the best and worst thing that ever happened to me."

[Cheese Foxlee]

[Before I foreget.  What are peoples thought on a posting order?  Should we have one?]

[Gareeku]

((OOC: on one hand, it would make things more orderly. On the other hand, people could suddenly disappear or be a long time, leaving everybody waiting and getting peeved (i know i can be like that sometimes, i'm impatient. XP). I don't think we should have one, but that's just my opinion.))

Shaking Stygian's hand, Gareeku smiled warmly.
"My name is Gareeku Manoko. It's a pleasure to meet you." the wolf replied, before turning back to the avian. Listening to his explanation, Gareeku nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
"Heh, sounds like quite an interesting guy." Gareeku replied with a smile, "I've heard bits about him from Aisha on our travels, but I think someday I'd like to meet him if given the chance."

[Joat]

[Posting order is only a good idea for a small RP, which this is not. And do you mind if I post an hour early?]

[EDIT: Never mind. I had but only to look at Gareeku’s times to see what a silly question that is.]

[topher chee]

  As the group that seemed to have made their peace began to seperate among the city and toward the bar, Topher dashes into the forest.  Wizzing through trees and colliding with a few twigs here and there and as he came to a rather thick tree, he made a vertical spree avoiding the branches that came in his way.  As he came closer and closer to the branch he usually lay he returned to his normal state and bellowed, "BLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEE!!!!!"

[Joat]

[Before I break what could potentially be a rule, mind if I role-play another character for one post (a magic shop owner). After the said post, he will probably never come into play again.]

[Or is that up to the GM to do?]

[Snuggles]

With a smile she relaxed and sipped more of her drink, swallowing and nodding her greetings back at the other panthress that had greeted her.  <"I have been well, and yourself?"> Finally, she also greeted the individual who had sat with she and Gareeku.  At his inquiry, she spared a knowing smirk. "I've only had the pleasure of frequenting here once..."

Rei looks up at Aisha <"Well as you can see i have fallen on ruff times."> She motions to her ragged clothes that she looks to winger when she hears her name. Takes the gold. "Thank you very much. I have never seen such kindness from a stranger." She looks even more homely and humbled then before at the sight of the coins in the lap.

[Cogidubnus]

[My apologies for the lateness of this post, but such is life, yes? I'll try and be more on time, tomorrow]

"Magic shop?" Cog murmurs, keeping his face carefully expressionless. "I have no great love for wizards, I will confess. Magic is a subject for which I have great respect: there are far too many pretentious fools slinging fireballs when they should be back in the Apprentice's classroom..." Cog casts a careful glance at  Sylva. "I will be gracious, and assume that you are not a fool. There are magic shops about, like any large town."

Cog shrugs his shoulders, and removes a few items from the inside of his coat. "I might even have a few trinkets I would be willing to part with, if you're interested." He sets them down on the table, and takes a drink of his whiskey.

[Azlan]

[finally the appropriate post]

Something about the fellow in front of him seemed familiar as he entered the common room of the tavern itself.  Being mostly a stranger here, it would be quite a while before he would be able to find out if anything of interest was in the area.  He did not know how adventurers were received here, so best to act the part of the traveller.

He was about to ask a question when someone spoke about wizards, now would not be a good time too auspicious was the timing.  Carran took up a corner table with his back to the wall where he could observe the entrance and everyone in the tavern presently.

[Joat]

“Cool. Say, um…” she seems to hesitate for a moment, “Would you happen to have any good items for a good necromancer for $21.97 or less? Preferably a Staff of Healing or something like that? And I do mean good items for a good necromancer. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been offered items such as the Staff of Unholy Energy.”

[Necromancers are a subclass of cleric. As a result, they have very similar sets of usable magic items, though there are a few items only usable by necromancers, such as the staff of Control Undead (which I just created off the top of my head). Anyway, not adding a magic shop owner into this lowered the post length quite a bit.]

[Cheese Foxlee]

[Not a normal post: If you want to play multiple characters, that is fine by me.  I just said that I personally would try to refrain from it.  It can be fun, but it can also get you jumbled if you're not careful.  And thanks everyone fore your thoughts on the posting order.  Don't be too worried if you have to post an hour or so early or later than normal, because the 24 hour rule is more of a guide line.  Let's make that more of a once a day rule.  If you've noticed my posts can range anywhere from 6PM to 10PM]

[Aisha deCabre]

((The once-a-day thing is fine with me I think...heh, there are those of us who worry about posting TOO much.     ))

Aisha had quirked an eyebrow at the minister who called himself Sebastian, amused a little at how proficiently he seemed to know the tongue of her region.  Still, she nodded politely and answered, "Y usted, tambien (And you also).  Always a pleasure to see friends old and new in this place."

With that out of the way, she took another sip of her ale, settling in comfortably as she listened to Winger's tale about Ryudo.  There was a smirk in her face as she listened to him tell it almost akin to a traveling bard.  I bet the story of Ryudo and the angel is quite a knowledgeable one around here...but then, nobody counts on being famous...

"You haven't seemed to change a bit, Winger," the panthress commented.  "Any word from how your friends are doing as well?"  She couldn't help but remember Quill with a laugh.

[Joat]

[Posting too much?]
[Sylver: You know, that thing you do in the Character Lounge.]
[*Laughs* Oh, right. That. Anyway, I am very good at handling multiple characters at once (I have four in CL). Multiple characters does have its perks, but I agree that it can be a bit complex for the untrained.]

[Stygian]

The bat smiled at the panthress' reply. He took the glass he'd received shortly after his order, and downed it quickly, then ordering another one which he enjoyed more slowly. Memories and images passed through his mind, bright against the darkness despite their gloominess and often also their pain, bittersweet to him. Then, after he'd finished his second drink and almost his third, he hefted his bag and his cross again, and stood up, turning to leave.
   "Well. I shall be going now, but I hope to catch up with you all soon. Just to see that things turned out allright. So here's to reunions," he said, and emptied the last of the wiskey in his glass. Then he turned around and walked out, slightly hunched under his packing, singing lowly in a soft hum to himself.

   We will meet again,
   don't know where,
   don't know when...
   But I know...

[Leaving on a two week hiatus. Expect to see more of Sebastian.]
