[OOC] The Tree of Astra (LadyAnnaLee and Blackfridayrule)

[LadyAnnaLee]

This was not right.

[LadyAnnaLee]

I think I did this right.

Blackfridayrule

[Blackfridayrule]

Hooray!

[Blackfridayrule]

So I had an idea for getting these two solidly together. Lets say they get to Greyrock and someone there suspects Darin. Ridahne steps in to help her out. Could be that someone brazenly attacks her, or maybe if we wanna get more sinister, someone tries to sneak up on Ridahne in the night to kill her (thinking she's a guardian) in order to get to Darin?

Idk, you got some ideas too? Otherwise Ridahne will just leave her there the next day.

[LadyAnnaLee]

You know I have no idea. Even if Ridahne sees the band on Darin's leg there's no way of knowing what's in it. The Gardener does have some powers, but they aren't physical. Darin's already got them, sort of. They are vague "know the hearts of men" type powers. It's why she's trusting Ridahne as much as she is. It's how she knew the bandits weren't planing on anything nice. It was how The Gardener knew Darin was next. Darin attributes them to instincts or gut feelings. If there's a way to use that that would be awesome.

[LadyAnnaLee]

I had an idea! I had an idea! It involves horses. And the "knowing the hearts" thing.

[Blackfridayrule]

Ooh whatcha got?

[LadyAnnaLee]

So I'm thinking there's a plow horse, or it's supposed to be a plow horse, in Greyrock that's not very well behaved. The badness that Darin is sensing follows them to Greyrock. Darin tells Ridahne what's going on. The person that Darin is feeling has had run in with the pervious Gardener. They know how Darin figured it out. They go to kill her. Ridahne and the misbehaved plow horse save Darin (I'm not sure how on that bit) The horse's owner doesn't understand why the horse decided it liked Darin. It liked Darin because even the animals know that something is wrong with The Tree. Since animals aren't really evil they know what Darin is. That's why she's been lucky enough not to get eaten by wolves or something. Maybe that why Mitaja liked her. And I was thinking the plow horse only looks like a plow horse. I was thinking it would be more like Shadowfaw form LoTR. But not the king of horses. Just really impressive and Ridahne knows what it is really, and knows that he wouldn't pick Darin without a good reason. So she can't deny it anymore. Darin is the Gardener, Darin still tried denying it until Ridahne flats out says it. And Ridahne was right. If she wanted to kill Darin she would have done it already. And Darin is tired of doing it alone so why not. If that makes sense. I'm sorry for all the ands.

[Blackfridayrule]

I like it! I was kinda thinking Mitaja “knew”.

Could be Darin gets cornered and Ridahne goes to save her, but there are more baddies to give chase while Ridahne fights, and this horse comes out of nowhere and helps Darin out?

[LadyAnnaLee]

Yes. I like that. That is brilliant. It may not happen exactly that way bit, I think we have a premise. And premises are a very good start.

[Blackfridayrule]

Indeed!

[LadyAnnaLee]

Awesome. Thank you for hearing me out.

[Blackfridayrule]

Heck yeah. RP is all about collaboration!

[LadyAnnaLee]

What are they drinking? What about eating? Do you have a preference or can I choose.

[Blackfridayrule]

I assume beer and then whatever you want for food.

[LadyAnnaLee]

Thank you.

[LadyAnnaLee]

I am no good at combat RPing. You are more than welcome to write the fight between Mark and Ridahne yourself. I don't care about that.

[Blackfridayrule]

Alright cool. Free reign to kill/maim?

[LadyAnnaLee]

Yep. If Ridahne does leave him alive he'll just go report to the ultimate bad. That could be fun. But if he does it's not a big deal.

[Blackfridayrule]

I think one of them will escape once they see they’re outclassed and deport back. Doubt she’d intentionally leave one alive lol.

You wanna get a poster in or should I just go for it?
