I-Am-X

Then the old faithful is back! We must march forward to victory! xP

 

On other note, GoT is turning out to be great. Tyrion is a masterful character & Dinklage does it full justice.

Indeed, Dinlage has played Tyrion perfectly, a truly wonderful job. He has practically carried the show from the beginning as the show took its sweet time building up Jon lol.

I'll post an update tomorrow for the gobs. How about we drop the human pov?

Nuuuuuuuuu, I really liked the human PoV. = O

There just wasn't much to go in the opening human updates and such, so I can understand not being able to think of things to say. Like with the latest one, I'm not sure what to post for Morrigan. I think if something happens, like some action or simply drama filled scenes, I think it'll make it easier to come up with something. I really do think the human element makes things quite interesting.

Rend

Internally, she wasn't all that pleased that she had to waste her own money for such a low-grade tool. After all, you'd think it'd be already prepared before hand but Rend gave up and decided it couldn't be helped. Besides, it was probably some kind of business ploy between the two. With a sigh, she moved on from the mining pick and examined her new gear and weapons. Well, at least there was something she could be glad about as her new leather armor and short swords were well made. With this she was properly ready for hunting.

Before it was more about her wiles and using her sl---minions but now she had actual armor and weapons. Don't get her wrong, she still plans to use others and what not, just now that she was prepared for whatever now. Speaking of which, she'll need to round up some more meat sh---comrades for the trip ahead. This time she'll look for two, just in-case they should meet this 'Giant Spider' and it feels hungry. After all, if one (or two) needs to die so the rest (Rend) lives, well, Rend definitely wouldn't be one of them that's for sure.

Thanking Mocharr for her good work, Rend bid her farewell as she left the shop. One needs to stay on good terms with ones they do business with, after all. It doesn't fare well to get on their bad side. Except for that ugly shopkeep from before, he doesn't count. With her business at Mocharr's done, Rend went around the village and picked up (abducted) the two dumbest goblins she could find with her usual shtick.  Broom and Diaper. Names as stupid as they were, and quite fitting. Broom looked like one, he was slightly taller then the average goblin, Rend was still a bit taller, and not exactly meaty.

And Diaper.....well, he smelled like one. Personally, she'd appreciate it if the Giant Spider or any creature really, ate him or just kill him and dump him so they wouldn't have to smell him for any longer. Though, with that stench of his, maybe he'd act as good monster repellent and allow them to collect more. Anyways, with the minions collected, it was time to set out and gather the necessary herbs before her second task. First will be the black cohosh and the embereyes soon after. With that decided, she lead them onward.

OOC:

On an unrelated note, I am getting into Game of Thrones. Which are your favorite characters?

 

Also, will Tyrion & Tywin remain so epic throughout?

Tyrion has always been my favorite

I think we lost just about everyone. We should stop, right?

I'm sorry, I just had a busy stretch and just was too mentally exhausted to get on the computer. My stamina isn't what it used to be.

Don't get rid of rend.

Morrigan

It was another long day at work and another long day dealing with idiots. Sometimes she wonders if she should've pick another profession, Morrigan sighed as she glanced at the other guards in the caravan and slowly shifted her posture on her horse and slightly adjusted her helm. Some might say 'oh, being a part of the guards is an honorable profession. It's a step towards better things!' or something idiotic like that but that's not what she meant. In truth, she was no guardsman and 'ordinarily' one of her ilk wasn't exactly supposed to be involved in this caravan. You're probably wondering about that 'ordinarily' bit, so let me explain. Morrigan was a hostess, yes, that's right, a hostess at a local tavern in Atlos City.

Well, 'technically' she was one anyways. Again, I'll explain. See, on the surface she was a hostess but in truth, she was a good ole thief. Not exactly the run of the mill pick-pocket you'd find every now and then on the streets of the city but a genuine thief who slips in where they're unwanted and takes whats not theirs. And Morrigan was quite a good one, she has survived this long hasn't she? Anyways, the next question on the docket would probably be 'What's a 'thief' doing playing guardsman in a caravan?' The answer is quite simple, money. Though, you're probably looking for a less vague answer with more details so here it is. See, it dates back a couple days ago and involves a quite chatty knight.

This 'knight' himself isn't entirely important so there's no need to know anything about him. Point being, he visited the tavern a lot and was one of those drunks that never shut up once he got drinking. Normally it's annoying and makes you want to slug them but other times, especially cases like these, good intel occasionally drops. It's kind of funny that it's usually these high up people who tend to spill the beans more than those on the bottom of the ladder do. Anyways, whenever he came he'd always bother one of the new girls, same one every time, and make her sit with him. Given the position he held, it'd be kind of troublesome to refuse him given the potential trouble he may bring to the girl or the establishment, you know how these kind of things go sometimes.

Besides, the time the guy usually drops by was during the places down times so they could afford to 'loan' out a hostess. Anyways, carrying on with the story, every time he came he was always stressed out about something but this particular day he was unusually stressed and in quite a foul mood. After he got a few drinks in him, he started talking. Apparently there was going to be this caravan heading to Red Creek in a few days to offload some of the overflowing Atlos City prison population to put them to work in the mines. The source of his frustration and anger eventually came soon after and was revealed to be directed at the one chosen to lead such caravan. This person in question was revealed to be none other then the hero of Wilvale herself, Lady Isabela Asvianna of the Cirilla household, in other words. nobility. And he especially didn't like Isabela, her personality didn't exactly make things easier.

Like many other noble houses, the Cirilla house was on the receiving end to much animosity from those lesser in status. Though, the Cirilla's in particular were despised even among the other noble families. You see, the Cirilla's weren't always nobility, once long ago, they were once just another family of commoners. The period of time in question was the dark ages back when monsters freely roamed the land laying claim and killing everything they came across. One might say 'But aren't they doing so now?' and they'd be correct but it wasn't called the 'Dark Ages' for no reason you know, it was much much worse back then. Anyways, the head of the family was captain of the lord's guard for the ruling lord of the area.

To speed things up a bit, the local lord was a prominent shithead and when an army of werewolves attacked, the coward fled, not even taking his mistresses along with him. And well, the captain eventually took everything as his own and soon the Cirilla's became the new stewards of the land and were given nobility for their actions and been that way 'till this day. Despite becoming nobles, the older, longer standing noble families still see them as commoners who were simply being given special treatment. Morrigan always thought it was idiotic because, well, every noble family was once, in time, started off as common. Be it 10 years ago, 100 or even beyond 1000, no one was special from the beginning. Unless you were born a god. Morrigan laughed to herself.

Normally she'd probably draw attention to herself but at the time Commander Collin's, of the guards, idiocy was the subject of discussion at hand and thus no suspicion was directed her way. Anyways, to conclude her inner monologue, Morrigan eventually slipped something into the knight at the taverns drinks on the day before they rode out, stripped him of his things and dumped him out in some unknown place ways from the city. Luckily, the knight had the same build as her, she was quite tall herself, and was able to fit into his armor. Another question you might have is, 'wouldn't she get discovered right away?' Again, it's a simple answer, no. By the time the knight in question comes to, which will be awhile because she fed him quite the nasty substance, one that she had few in number mind you, that will keep him out for 10 or so hours, it'll take him sometime to get back to the capital to report it.

Also, in the tavern he was never seen with her so if anyone gets suspected, it'll be the new girl, the scapegoat this time. And quite thankfully, the 'hero' didn't exactly look upon them too highly, so as long as they did their jobs, she didn't really care who they were and thus Morrigan never had to take off her helm. She could also disguise her voice a little, so unless someone got close and investigated, she was in the clear. Now, as to why the 'thief' was here. Given the 'hero' is who she is, she has quite the number of enemies lurking about and not just amongst her fellow humans. Goblins, humans, elves and other non-human beings have a deep grudge, basically all the scum out there wants to put her in her place. Which would mean they'd want revenge, yes?

To put it simply, Morrigan took the information she received from the knight and sold it to various different parties, most of which weren't human. Here's where you'd ask, 'I thought humans wouldn't cooperate with monsters/anyone non-human' and that's where Morrigan would have a stupid look ready for you because to her, it didn't matter if you were human or not, as long as you had money, you were ok in her books. I'm sure you'd be wondering why she'd join the caravan if she already sold the information and the answer is easy, extra profit. Not only could she loot from the village they were heading to, but also the guards. Plenty of different ways to make money. Glancing at some of the woman amongst the caravan, Morrigan thought with a cold grin forming underneath the helm.

Plenty of ways.

OOC:

@X: Great CS. So how did Morigann end up joining the caravan to Red Creek?

While working at the tavern, she heard word/rumors about the caravan, well that the hero of Wilvale herself was leading it, she figured she'd sell the information to anyone with a bone to pick against her or just scum in general, be it human, gob or whatever. Not only that, she'd disguise herself as a guard in the caravan (which would be easy since she works at a tavern and just get one really drunk or slip'em something) to loot the village and/or knights/guards for extra cash.

Yea, I'm back and here's the human I decided to roll out with.

Rend

With her reply, Akta gave Rend her first 'task'. It would probably be best to sum all of this up as a 'Trial' to see if she had what it took to be taught. Obviously one just couldn't waste their time teaching an idiot who wouldn't amount to much and Akta didn't seem like the type to simply take on anyone with a (fake) sob story or for free, anyways. After that, she was tasked with going to Mocharr's to pick up an axe to aid in her mission. Which was quite convenient since she planned to go there to pick up her new armor and weapons anyways.

Having nodded in affirmation to the order, Rend made her way out of the temple and onward to Mocharr's shop. When she arrived, she took a brief glance around the shop before walking up towards the counter to speak with Mocharr. Once Mocharr was free, Rend relayed what Akta told her about the Axe. While she was curious about whether her things were ready or not, Rend decided to hold off on bringing that up. After all, one must never get impatient, especially with an Orc.

OOC:

Each player's top 3:

 

Brix: Fae, Hobgoblin, Vampire
Dar: Orc, Hobgoblin, Nephilim
Frisk: Hobgoblin, Elemental Lord, Orc
Rend: Fae, Hobgoblin, Vampire

Fae, hobgob and a vampire, what a trio so far xD

Gots a long way to go for my prize.

X will show up sooner or later. I was mostly wondering about you two. And now I have my answer. =D

I do apologize for vanishing, been spending too much time on that mmorpg  xD

Alright! For the next few chapters, we'll be following the story from the perspective of the humans. If your goblin hasn't made it to Day 3 yet, don't worry. This just means that now you'll have more stuff to add to your posts. ^^;

 

@UM: I'll post an update for Frisk tomorrow.

Sweet, we're doing humans in this story as well? Me like, me like.

I'll try to catch up as much as I can. Sorry for being so behind on part of my laziness xD

Mission onnnn, will attempt a post later this week.

Alright, made a short post. Once she gets her quest, it's off to Mocharr's for her new gear and offf to the forest and catch up with others. Weeeee!

Rend

From Akta's reaction it looked like the waterworks and her little schpeel didn't have any effect. Though, from what followed afterwords, it was enough for her to be accepted as an apprentice. It's a good thing the priestess wasn't a mind reader. That wouldn't go well. On cue, her expression brightened when informed that Akta would take her on as an apprentice. Nodding at what she said, "If it means becoming stronger, to obtain my true d-desire. I-I'm more than willing to sacrifice everything to obtain it." she said with strong determination. .....or everyone.

Of course she didn't say that last part.

The fastest way would be to go to Reck and learn from him. Otherwise, you'd have to become a mage first. Tailoring and Enchanting aren't tied together, so you can learn bother at the same time.

Gotcha, well, I'm in no hurry. Rend got other things to learn before she starts to dabble in enchanting. xD

Since other matters have been settled, I'll get up a reply soon so Rend can get her mission and get her new gear.

\0/

Just noticed Rends new update, woo apprenticeship gettt.

Does this mean it concludes her temple business, go back to mocharr for new weapon and gear and go hunt?

(reason I ask is to make sure there isn't more to do with Akta atm)

Also, can Rend stay at the temple as a live-in apprentice? Just curious, if not i'll just have her find some random place or whatever.

Alrighty, edited!

Also, other person. I don't believe we met.

MR is DR's brother. He first came on to announce DR's passing and stuck around.
