The Harlequin Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 [I]Davien strides in, uncaring of the nead for stealth. His footsteps never make a noise anyway, and he really doesn't care whether he gets attacked or now. The only reason he's here at all is because walking into a large vampyre den is a good way to die. As he had so many times in the past, he damned his twisted sense of honour that wouldn't allow him to kill himself. Or perhaps it was determination. Either way, he wanted to die, but wouldn't allow himself to. He started to walk faster, his hands clenching on the shaft of his twin viper. This may just be it.[/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted May 24, 2002 Author Share Posted May 24, 2002 Kain runs faster and faster his feet only making a small tapping noise.He bends a corner and is confronted by something in the darkness. Kain: Go.....this one is mine. Terran: What is it? Yuugi:*who finally speaks*What will we do? Kain: Find Setsuna and get out of here.Don't worry about the other vampires...there are too many anyway. Terran: Then why did you bring us here. Kain: I needed your help.But now I don't which was unexpected.Wait for me outside the den.If i'm not out in 3 hours leave here and never come back.Now go. A pair of red eyes flicker in the darkness.Kain takes out his bowgun and fires it at whatever it is in the corridor.It dodges and attacks.Kain takes out his sword and fights back matching blow for blow while the others go to find Setsuna.

Terran Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 OCC: Harlequin, I've never even heard of Forgotten Realms. Sounds good though. Driders you say? Excellent... [I]Terran and the others travel along the dark path, on the search for Setsuna. It the shadows, for which Terran has an aptitude, he spots a hidden cave entrance. Terran: You all remain here, I shall return soon. He enters the cave and finds himself in a cavern. It has a ledge running all the way around. The ledge looks artifically built. Suddenly, he spins round, sensing danger, and deflects an arrow fired from above, but another arrow pierces his back. Ignoring the stinging pain, Terran hurls his dagger towards one of the vampire archers, slicing in to its body with such force that it drives it through the wall behind it. Terran leaps into the air onto the ledge form where the vampires had been firing. Another arrow grazes his shoulder from the remaining archer. Sinking into the shadows on the wall, he makes his way through the hole that the previous vampire was smashed. He retrieves his dagger from the pile of ashes and sits against the wall, meditating, sensing the other vampires approach. The Aura of Storm of Destruction fades away and is replaced by blue sparks eminating form his fingers and temples. The Vampire leaps through the hole, and is greeted by a tidal wave of magic energy that throws it off it's feet. An increbible unearthly scream vibrates the walls of the cave system as the vampire clutches his head, in which the eyes have been burnt out. The vampires head bursts into flame as the horrible screams continue. With one last horrifying scream, the vampire bursts into a thousand pieces. Terran stands up, a little shaky on his feet after using Eternal Scream. He climbs down from the ledge and slides into the shadows, not as conceled as usual, due to the lack of magical energy. He sees another carvern through a passage to his left, but decides to go back for Yuugi first befroe exploring it. Terran emerges from the cave and is greeted by the others, who had remained, true to their word. Terran: There is a passage through here, perhaps it could lead us to Setsuna, we must explore it. Come. Together they enter the cave and the passage within.[/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 [color=royalblue] While the others searched for Setsuna, Kain remained battling the vampire. It stretched out its claw to pierce Kain, but Kain dodged and used his fist to slam it back into the ground. The vampire jumped right back up and what little light there was showed a face that looked strangely familiar. The vampire rushed at Kain and jumped for an aerial attack. Kain thrust his sword up, but missed the vampire. He turned around and saw a clear shot of the face as he slashed the arm. Kain: Setsuna?! Setsuna: Void Drift! A green light shot from Setsuna's hands. It grazed Kain's side, wounding him, but not fataly. Kain: What in hell? Setsuna's a.... Setsuna: ...vampire... I played you all for fools. Now you are deep inside the caves of Voldor. No one has ever escaped the garrison of vampires that lurk in the shadows. Setsuna jumped up to a ledge fifty feet up. Setsuna: You shall not escape! Setsuna disappeared in a puff of smoke. Kain went and looked for the others. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted May 24, 2002 Author Share Posted May 24, 2002 Kain runs down the corridor but the vampire he was fighting follows him.He ignores it until it gets close. Kain: Death.... The vampire drops dead and falls to the ground.It turns to dust and Kain finds Yuugi and Terran. Kain: Terran. Terran: What are you doing here? Kain: We must get out of here now. Yuugi: What about Setsuna? Kain: He is a vampire...he's stronger than the rest just like the one I was fighting except stronger. Davien: You finally figured it out then. Kain: I knew it as soon as we started fighting at the entrance.He didn't fight fiercly as if he were in danger. Terran: Let's get out then.

Kinetic Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 [color=royalblue] Setsuna: Guard the exit! They shall not get away from me... A large troop of vampires strode to the exit. Awaiting anything that they should prey on. Setsuna disappeared to take care of...other things. Kain was leading the group down a narrow corridor. They had gotten lost, after searching for Setsuna. There was light ahead. Kain: Wait... Anethama: What- Kain: Trouble... A group of vampires came strolling through. The vampires spotted the warriors, and rushed toward them.

Heartless Me Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 *He looked among his troupe and his eyes narrow at the advancing horde of undead.* Yuugi-Get close to me... I can raise a barrier they cannot penetrate while you kill them from inside the force field.. *His eyes close and he starts to chant a 5foot radius translucent aura of blue energy surrounds Yuugi that would protect any good within from anything up to a minor vampire.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Harlequin Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 [I]Reluctant to trust his luck to a forcefield, Davien steps forward enough to give himself room. As such, the vampyres attack him en masse. Holding his staff like a spear, hands reversed, he fends them off with short, vicious thrusting attacks. With a rising thrust, he kills the foremost, spinning and stabbing another one with the other blade, killing it to. as the vampyres back off slightly, wary, the others move to back Davien up. Davien smiles grimly, and strides forwards into the group. Even though he is hard pressed to parry each attack, every move he makes still flows into somethig else. Not once does his motion cease, testament to his reactions. With every move, a vampyre injured. Very soon. he has cut a path through them. He turns, and attacks them from the rear, more than occupied as they are by the others, who are decimating their forces. Even as Kain runs the last one through, it appears undaunted, and claws at him weakly in its death throes. Why are they so persistent.[/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenstorture Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 [color=darkgreen][I]Anathema throws herself into the fight and begins felling vampyres with each turn. One injured, but not killed, reaches up from the ground and drags deep clawmarks down her thigh to her ankle. She yelps and kicks it in the head, sending it rolling across the cave floor. Meanwhile another has jumped onto her back and is attempting to sink it's fangs into the back of her neck, she jerks her neck backwards and headbuts the vampyre strongly, causing it to lose it's grip and fall off her. It lands on it's feet and she spins around to face it, wincing visibly at the pain in her leg. The vampyre takes the hint and moves forward, catching Anathema as she falls to the side. It hisses and leans close to her to feed, but as the Vampyre closes it's eyes she thrusts her dagger into one of it's eyesockets and twists it sharply. The beast screams and drops her, and she regains her balance and removes the dagger from it's eye, stabbing it in the head once more before kicking it in the chest and spinning around to survey the state of the enemy.[/I][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted May 25, 2002 Author Share Posted May 25, 2002 Kain moves down the hall avoiding enemy attacks.He slashes a vampire's head off moving down the hall leading the group. Kain: Don't try to kill them all just focus on the few in front of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 [color=royalblue] They had decimated the group of vampires, but the worst was yet to come. If only they had known, had they made one left turn, they would have found an exit. Yet, they were headed toward another. Kain: We're getting near. Anathema: How can you tell? Kain: Fresh air. Banshees... Anathema: Banshees? Impossible. Kain: What do you think all that screaming was? Yuugi: Hush, they'll hear us. The group advanced down the hall. Where a garrison of banshees and vampires stood. They crept silently, and Kain saw the foot of a vampire. Kain: We shall strike now. No waiting. Whatever happens... happens. If you die, you die honorably. They rushed into the troop, where, unluckily, Setsuna had sensed them coming.

The Harlequin Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 [I]Laughing at their folly, Setsuna attacks, ordering the garrison to wait, wishing to savour the triumph personally. Bad move. Outnumbered, even one such as Setsuna as trouble avoiding the numerous attacks. As Davien and Yuugi flank to the opposite sides, Setsuna's defenses start to go frantic, as he had not counted on the speed of the two, nor on the straightforward skill of the others. Pressed more than he prefered, Setsuna retreated, commanding the waiting undead to attack. Snarling bestially, Setsuna retreats down a side passage.[/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartless Me Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 *As the undead close in Yuugi looks at Davien and nods as Davien cuts through a small group of vampires easily with one continuous liquid motion of his twin viper and Yuugi drops to one knee and activates his Do spell once more his strength and speed skyrockets from the fusion of his spirit and body of one form and he leaps up performing a high leap with a twist enabling him to land facing the side passage that Setsuna escaped down at the same time as Davien arrived and they both dash down towards Setsuna obviously going to take care of him theirself as the rest of the group take care of the undead hordes.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 [color=royalblue] Setsuna was running down the passage, narrowly escaping the vision of Yuugi and Davien. Yuugi was 15 feet behind him, when he stopped. Davien: Giving up? A grin on his face Setsuna: Not so easily. Davien and Yuugi jumped at Setsuna, but once they got there, he was gone. Setsuna reappeared behind them. Setsuna pointed his hands to the ceiling. Setsuna: Void Drift! The passage they had run through caved in. Setsuna pointed at Yuugi. Setsuna: I'll kill you first. Setsuna pointed his bow at Yuugi, and shot an arrow as he flew through the tunnel he created in the ceiling when he casted his spell. The arrow grazed Yuugi's arm, and they had but one choice, they had to climb that tunnel Setsuna went through. Yuugi nodded at Davien and Davien threw him up through the tunnel. Davien then climbed up using his hands and feet. Setsuna was gone, but where were they in this cave. Yuugi: Let's find the others.

The Harlequin Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Davien: Have you noticed any pattern to this cave complex? Or has it just seemed random? The last thing we need right now is a labyrinth to run through. Like mice in a maze... Yuugi: We can handle anything we run into. Davien: Most probably, but we don't know what exactly Setsuna is up to. Besides, the others may need us. Yuugi: They can fend for themselves... Davien: Yes, but we are outnumbered as it is. We may need help. [I]With no further conversation, Davien and Yuugi set off silently down the tunnel, each alert in his own way.[/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartless Me Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 *Yuugi could hold up the Do spell no longer and it diffused leaving him somewhat winded but able to continue... he still kept his awareness to it's full however... after a short time of travel davien make a grim realization.* Davien: We've been here before... Yuugi: How do you know? Davien: Look at the walls... Notice anything? Yuugi: D*mnit... The grain in the walls... their exactly the same as the hallway we passed just a few moments ago... *Davien nods and lets out a sarcastic almost what looks like a smirk.* Davien: You're not as stupid as I thought... Yuugi: I tend to let people think I am.. It gives me a psychological edge... By the way, I'm going to start marking these walls... *Yuugi smirked and Davien nodded.... Pulling out his Kuri-sigama he used the bladed part to etch a rune into the wall, so that if they cam across this spot again that they would know to go a different route.* Yuugi: Alright, let's go...

The Harlequin Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 [I]After avoiding several groups of vampyres, Davien and Yuugi hear the echoes of faint footsteps. They stop, alert.[/I] Davien: I've never known a vampyre to make noise like that. Yuugi: Listen. The steps are followed by a slight scraping. Davien: Which means? Yuugi: Someone is wounded. Davien: Then it wouldn't be vampyres. Can you tell where the echoes are coming from? I never learnt the trick to it. Yuugi: I think so. This way. [I]Davien and Yuugi set off in a new direction, Yuugi pausing to listen periodically.[/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenstorture Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 [color=darkgreen][I]I dragged Kain for about fifty meters before finding a crevice in the rock wall. Pushing him into it, I turned him on his side and checked his pulse, breathing etc and consciousness. He opened his eyes and looked at me reprovingly, as if to say "Don't rub it in, ok, I'll be fine." I smiled and stood, freezing as my eye caught a flicker of movement down the corridor to my right.[/I][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anethema: Kain was stabbed in the stomach. We've got to get him out. All of a sudden, there was a noise down the hall. A hole burst open in the wall. Terran: Quickly! They ran down the hall, carrying Kain. They ran through the hole, quite near the town they were heading to. They rushed towards the town.

Ravenstorture Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 [color=darkgreen][I]Anathema falls back to Davien and walks with him in silence for a while.[/I] Anathema: Can I ask you a question? Davien: You just did. Anathema: Don't do that, please, it's rather irritating. [I]The soft moonlight reveals a slight smile on Davein's face, gone in a moment.[/I] Anathema: How did you find each other? Are you part of an organisation, of sorts? Where you called? Or did you all just sort of, come together? Davien: Too many questions. [I]Silence.[/I] Anathema: Well, answer me this... Who are you?

The Harlequin Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Davien: Whoever I want to be. I don't have a past. At least, not one I'll relate. Anathema: You can tell me. Davien: That is really cliche. [I]It is Anathema's turn to smile.[/I] Anathema: Well, tell me anyway. [I]Davien is silent a moment more, than relents.[/I] Davien: My parents were murdered by vampyres when I was 8. Went through a few years of acute mental disorders, before I got my lfie in order. I was a sneak thief for a while, but after stealing a knife at eleven, I started killing people for a living. Since then, I've been around a lot. Mostly studying. Anathema: About what? Davien: Vampyres. I actually considered allowing myself to get bitten, but I didn't like the odds. There was however, a blood transfusion or two... Anathema: That explains some things. Davien: So, who are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenstorture Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 [color=darkgreen] Anathema: I don't know. Davien: Not funny and not fair. Anathema: No, seriously. I can't tell you who I am, you will have to decide that for yourself. But I can tell you my past... Davien: Go on... Anathema: Oh, don't pretend you are interested, please.... Davien: Whether or not I am interested is against the point. Go on. Anathema: Ok, well...I grew up in the village of Ghrendail, and lived good happy life until I was expelled from the village for slaughtering and mutilating seventeen children of the community. They labelled me 'insane' by trial and I was exiled into forest. That was about five years ago. My only regrets were that I cannot do it again. Davien: So... your opinion on vampyres? Anathema: I like killing anything that moves. If people are on a quest to kill something, I'm in. I sensed that that is what you were doing, so I followed you. Davien: Why were you lying outide a nest of vampyres, is what I was really asking. Anathema: Oh, I was contemplating going in there myself. Davien: Feeling a bit suicidal lately, are we? Anathema: yeah, actually... I was. Davien: Was? Anathema: I would do anything for a kill, if it was left long enough.... Davien: And it has been a while, then, I suppose? Anathema: Oh yeah, I just got released from imprisonment.... Davien: Let me guess. For murder? Manslaughter? Genocide? Anathema: Insanity. Davien: close enough.
