Dalious

"Well, at the moment I'm trying to figure out what in that very same divine's name you are doing here..." he started, but before he could speak more Cicero beat him to it. Dalious quickly realized with the man's next sentence that he was not here to save him at all and it left the pirate with a disheartened feeling. "Betrayed you!? My word! I was holding down the fort waiting for you lot to come help me. That red headed wench!!"

"Ah, yes," Finny butted in. "Tell us more about that red headed woman again!"

"She tricked me, knocked me out, then sold me into slavery," Dalious reminded the old slave. "She is the literal reason why I'm rotting away in this pit with you fools!"

"Yes, her...she sounds lovely," Finny added.

Dalious huffed, then turned back to Cicero. "Nylah, was it? Yes, that was her name. She was a bounty hunter, I had her right where I wanted her when...when...it all becomes fuzzy after that. She had a crew, or hirelings, whatever they were they captured me and took us deep out at sea. They sold me to a slave vessel, then they sold me to the bastards running this joint. So you see, I was simply waiting for you and Gwyn to return. I was loyal, fooled by Nylah's incredible attractiveness. Something that I will never let happen again, you know...assuming I don't rot in this place."

Dalious crossed his arms as Cicero changed his tone and the subject to a more immediate one. "Well, your tracking skills have not let you down mate. We are being held prisoner by these demonfolk. They..." He was interupted by the sounds of a gang approaching. "Whatever plan you come up with, I'll follow suit." The group then started moving back to their places.

Dalious

As the two newcomers fell down the sand trap, the group of slaves huddled around Dalious took notice and sat up from their rest. Everyone knew what had just happened, though none were quick about doing much about it.

"Aye, the 'ol loose stone bit worked!" Dalious said to the group. "Which of us helped make that trap? Deserves a praise!"

Wiry raised a hand but said nothing.

"Wiry! Fine work. You'll get half of half of my shrooms, assuming we get more than half of what we halved last week. Anyway, I think they were wearing armor. Fish 'em out boys!"

No one moved.

"More mouths to feed," Toothless Tom spoke.

"-But less work to do!" said the oldest and skinniest of them, Finny. His finger was pointed and shook toward Toothless Tom as if his point was more important.

"Let 'em figure their own way out," Toothless Tom added. "If you can't get outta that sand, then you's can't make it here. Who cares if they die, that'd be two less mouths to feed."

"Damn it I'll fish them out myself," Dalious went to the pile of sand to start digging, Wiry jumped in to help once he had started.

"-Well, technically it'd be the same amount of mouths to feed if they died," Finny continued. "Since they weren't here's before, them dying means we're right back to where we started, see. On the number of mouths to feed, I mean. Less of course you count that poor fella Marty who fell into that pit of spikes this morning."

Dalious paused from digging to look over at the aged Finny in bewilderment. "Marty's dead? I'm not aware of any pit of spikes around these parts." Wiry was able to pull both men out from the sand by himself as Dalious got distracted by the current conversation.

"We built it last evening," Finny explained. "Me and Wiry, just down those halls." He pointed.

"Divine's hell, and you didn't think that might be something to mention to the rest of us?" Dalious wondered as Finny simply shrugged. "That's the third man we lost to our own contraptions in two weeks. Hell, at this rate we're killing ourselves quicker than the guards are Finny!! From now on, if one of us lot makes a new contraption, we at least have a mild discussion about it. Fair? Right then."

Dalious turned to see the two men that were freed from the sand. As their faces became clearer, one of them became familiar to him. He squinted his eyes and stared at the man to be sure. His eyes widened upon his own confirmation.

"If you've come all this way to kill me, I assure you I can explain everything," Dalious said to Cicero, taking a step back. "Rather, if you've come all this way to save me...you're doing a piss poor job mate."

Kings and Killers: A Classical Fantasy Adventure (Chapter 1)

@Sol Grimspiffy shit I fucked the mention part up but again.........been drinking

Kings and Killers: A Classical Fantasy Adventure (Chapter 1)

So I have a proposition to not only u guys but newcomers... basically it entails 2 questions... First, to spiffy, I'm thinking about starting a new roleplay for people who want to post quicker than this rp but I think it would be cool to keep it in the same universe. Basically rp and rolling dice theme, in your setting. But I guess on a new continent that has nothing to do with ur story but more for those that can at least post once a week. As I am itching to post however I am still a busy bee with work...the second question...shit I'm drunk currently and I forget this question but it'll come back to me...ugh...anyway, I was wanting ur permission to co- create I guess. If yes, it'll be for those that r sooner posters and be while new characters that r in a different continent however it's possible for news and whatsforth to travel back n forth. ...I have more to say but drunk...if not, cool too I'm thinking I'll then make it a completely new rp/world. What say u?
