Once upon a time, in The Faraway Land, there was a bitter battle between the Champions and their nemesis, the Warlock. They survived the assault, but were far from beating him. Until they could reach their first objective in the dwarven lands of Khazak-Run, they set up camp for the night about a day's journey away. Laina offered to make dinner with freshly hunted deer, while Kaite drank herself to oblivion and the others stood watching. Then, an elf woman charged through the trees claiming an orc was trying to steal her bag. In reality, the bag was the orc's, which Tiberius sorted out. Despite her lie, Tiberius let her stay, and she rewarded him by insulting Laina.

The Ring, having overheard people discuss the Maw and the dreadful urges it brought, and the curse associated with it, decided to try and do Vert a favor by closing it up. Unexpectedly, Vert wanted her accursed weapon and expressed her displeasure - loudly. Now everyone is suspicious of the Ring and its master, Erudessa.

Ivan, meanwhile, took patrol into the forest. It was pitch-dark and frightening. Then the feeling of the place changed to something friendlier. Suddenly, an arrow shot into a tree bearing a message in Eru's handwriting: "Dance with me." In typical elven style, she played cat-and-mouse with him for a few minutes before formally introducing herself.

She revealed that she heard Ivan's secret wish. That meant she was the wish-granter behind the Ring, none other than Erudessa herself. She removed her mask for Ivan to visually confirm. As the two walk back to camp, they are blissfully unaware of the trouble brewing with the Warlock's general, Edward...

Main points from current stand point as I see them:

1: Group was attacked by Wargs which where dispatched rather quickly with easy, stupid dogs making me look bad. Followed up by a meeting with the story's current Antagonist, the Warlock. A fight broke out with the Warlock taking stock of the warriors and showing them how out classed they currently are against just him.

2: Despite bad feelings, the group decided to stay in that forest and camp up for the night. Thinking that a nights rest would do them all some good, which is a good idea, they pitched tents and got the fire going once more. Followed by dinner being killed and currently being preped for eating.

3: Strange Elf Thief rushes into camp calming she is being attacked by an Orc who is trying to 'Steal' from her. Orc walks into camp and is dumbfounded by what he sees. Taking the best advantage of the situation at hand the Thief pushes the fact she is innocent. Fails once the contents of said item that is trying to be 'stolen' is taken. With her rouse shown false she is given a choice, leave or stay but be watched like a dog basically. She stayed.

4: As the night started to set in more, the Orc decides to try and help as best he can after everyone read the letter in the bag that was now returned to the Orc. Everyone is trying to relax and get their heads straight. The Spirit Walker is Spirited away for a fateful meeting. The rest of the gang tends to their wounds and dinner is now cooking. With this out of the way we find out the name of the Thief and a relation between her and the Warlock might exist. No one presses questions, instead she plays over the Noble Knight Leader of the group and thankfully his wits are about him as he resists her temptations.

5: A new comer known as The First Transendent shows up and explains why he is there as well as the fact he is non-hostile to the group, which is met with disdain and distrust. The Thief says the Transendent is here for her further reveling that she dose indeed have a rather strong connection to the Warlock if the 1st Division Commander and one of the Warlocks most Powerful Generals was sent to get her. At the same time some one went to scout out the area running into the second reason the Transendent was sent out there to that camp.

Cu: As it stands he has stated he ain't leaving and tough get over it. Dropping a line as to one of the reason the Ruling Elf's built their capital City where they did. Now Players are prompted to make posts around getting grub, asking questions, or going to bed and rest up. The Choice is, and always will be yours to make.

Or Thin and beat me to it by 2 hours... >.>

If nobody posts by tonight, I'm picking someone tomorrow morning. I did say someone had to post every other day, after all.

Joy.

@Thinslayer

What do you mean by picking someone?

I mean that I'm going to pick someone and give them a deadline to post something.

Howdy Doodily! This sounds like a marvelous Rp. Is it still open by-chance? Perhaps it wrong of me to ask, but even despite my eyes spying the "Full" marker I must be bold and brazen with my questions. I would fancy a good character on this roster and the joyful pleasure of signing on with the band of battlers and broads.

Okay I'm back! Post will be coming later, sorry for the delay.

A couple things about that post. Tiberius hasn't actually offed himself, not yet anyways. He got into that particular mental state because of everything that happened that night plus, the forest is exerting that dark presence is it not? I mean If I was in there and feeling pretty bad about myself, and the forest itself was making things worse, then anything could happen. So I'd say that the point he is at is quite justified.

@Lord Zee

I have an idea about your Character if your willing. Run me a PM, also will throw it at Thinslayer so he is in the loop. Perhaps a reason to keep him going en?

I was going to say, I may have ideas for posts both this rotation and next before Zee's next post.
I was kinda waiting on them. >_<

I do have a post ready.

Kaite is leaving to find Tiberius and doesn't give two fucks about Fin and her pimps.
If they mean the group no harm, then there is no sense in worrying. However, it ends with her in the process of leaving...assuming anyone has the nerve to try to stop mostly-dead Kaite from going on a manhunt for both Tiberius and Sir Ivan Stonewall.

She is taking her armor with her.

Kaite is pushing Edwards Buttons.

Darn, here she was trying to be everyone's friend.

Be friends with Edward, it is good idea.

I think this is now one of the longest RP's I've been in on here. So good job everybody, here's to another 4 months!

Anyone have any idea on what Laina could do?
I'm kind of stuck (obviously *heh heh*)

@Lord Zee@Hawlin
Would it be okay if Laina could step in and help Tiberius?
I feel like it might be a good idea for Laina to put her healing powers into use :)

Anyone have any idea on what Laina could do?
I'm kind of stuck (obviously *heh heh*)

Could also try to help Vert who is in pain, maybe see if she can remove the wires
