RP 13: Destruction of the DarkBlade and the Meeting of Odin

[Astaldolosswen]

"Oh, so an eagle has come to help us? That is quite fortunate. He might be able to scout ahead for us if needed. Where do you think he might be?" *she looks over where the orcs and wargs were and waits for an eagle to show itself.*

[goofoofighter]

*after anxious listening, all goes quiet, and all light is lost to their view. The tension rises as they all wonder if the attack is finished or if they are waiting, waiting to trap them and dispose of them at their own will. The silence is tangible, and they can hear every pebble fall from the roof or walls of the cavern. One lands on the back of a panicked horse and it takes of running, breaking the silence with a suprised scream. The foul voices of their captors laugh as the horse runs buy, kicking up its heels. They let it go and close in to where it came from, and the tension grows thicker...*

*The panicked horse races out into daylight, bucking and kicking at nothing, and screaming out into the clear air. It turns on it's haunches and thunders away in its panic*

[Astaldolosswen]

*Astal had heard the panicked horse and turned to see it racing off. It had also caught the sight of Vanya Ninquë and she mounted him and they were off. She looks at May and says* "Something is wrong with the herd. We must go! Something scared that horse and it went off running, let's go!" *her and Vanya Ninquë get a good galloping start and get to the cave from where the panick stricken horse came from.* "We shall need a light inside this cave. If that horse was a part of the herd, then the rest of the herd shall be in this cave."

[Tolkien Adictee]

Ralecath, who had been perched in a tree, leaped out into the open streaming towards the cave. He landed nearby and waited a moment or tow for the others to arrive, he did not like the feeling he was getting.

[Astaldolosswen]

*she goes into her pack and pulls out a torch and flint to light the torch. she lights the torch, puts the flint away and says* "Come on, we're going in." *she draws her sword and holds the torch out in front of her and Vanya Ninquë so everyone could see and if the herd was in here, they would see the torch light.*

[WarriorMay]

May closely followed behind Astal. She has her bow ready at hand if needed. "Such an odd place to take a herd..." she said to herself. It was safe indeed, but it was odd to her.

[Astaldolosswen]

*she listens intently all around her and hears laughing in the distance. she looks at May and says* "Shh. Listen closely."

[WarriorMay]

May listens closely, her ears catching onto the laughing. She gives Astal a, what-could-that-be look. She looks around, nearly, spooked.

[Astaldolosswen]

*she looks at May and says in a whisper* "Whatever that is, it does not sound good. Let us find the herd and hope that they are alright. Let's move." *she has Vanya Ninquë start up again at a walk, but then she feels that they are slowly running out of time to help the herd. she urges Vanya Ninquë to a cantor so they can find the herd faster.*

[goofoofighter]

*Looking ahead and to their sides, they were unaware of what might be below their feet. They find out their mistake when they trip on something large and black on the floor of the cave. Astal's torch goes out, and everything is quiet for a few moments before they heard sharp metal on hard rock, and they were ambushed by their tortured counterparts. ((remember what I "taught" you last time we RPed, Katie?))

[Astaldolosswen]

((You are really going to be mean to me aren't you? You just had to bring that up. Grrrrrr...I will get you for this. Ummm...when did my character unmount? I don't remember posting it, so, how could she trip if she is on horseback?)) *she draws her sword with the adrenaline flowing through her veins. she slashes at the orcs on top of her.*

[goofoofighter]

((You're sitting on your horse, you're holding a torch, chances are that you can't see your feet. And... by 'ambush' I meant 'attack,' because it isn't really an ambush if they're standing there staring at you. Do you remember that other RPG I played you in? Where you got jumped on and mutilated? That's sort of the situation here...))

*the screeches echo through the caverns as the goblins attack them without second thought. The way out is blocked, and hard hoof beats are heard from deeper in the passageways. ((that's right, right?)) Some race forward towards the fray, and they blend perfectly with the shadows.*

[WarriorMay]

OOC: Are we going to be moving this thread to the new site? Just wondering before it's deleted...

IC: May lets out an odd sound of discomfort and pain. She shoots her arrow at the creature hoping she aimed it properly and killed it. Hesitating to get up she draws out her sword. She just hopes she doesn't accidently gets Astal in all the darkness.

[goofoofighter]

(( Delete it?? I thought we had an unlimited deadline? How do we transfer it?? ))

*Slash! Fwack! The goblin's strikes fall...*

[Astaldolosswen]

((yeah, goofoo, you're right. JFYI, I changed that post up there then ^^''))

*the hatred is in Astal's eyes and she is full of pure hatred. she shoves the orcs off of her and she stands up. she slashes at the orcs. Slash, fwack, slash...her sword comes falling down upon any orc in her way.*

[WarriorMay]

OOC: Hmm...I didn't read the unlimited deadline thing. Just wondering if you were going to or not.

[Astaldolosswen]

*she continues to fight her way out of the group of orcs and she takes off an orcs head when she says* "May, follow my voice and I will lead you out of this mess of orcs!" *her sword continues to fall down upon any orc in her path and she takes no mercy toward them. after what happened to her, her hatred for them has become stronger than any elf imaginable.*

[Tolkien Adictee]

There is no deadline, just finish at your own pace :) Just don't start any new RP's (not that you could anyways, since you still have to ask and I'd just say no, hehe).

[WarriorMay]

OOC: Thanks.

IC: May has a bit of a struggle but soon replies, "Ok."

It's hard to tell where she is hitting her targets and she isn't very sure if any of them are actually dead or just badly cut.

[Astaldolosswen]

*Astal continues to call out to May so she can find her way and at the same time, she is killing every orc in her way.*

[Glory]

((OOC: *haven't been able to read all the previous post, but thinking in posting anyway* hey guys!! me back!!! been busy lately....anyway I'd like to come back to the RPG, anyway i'm going to play my characther bellow if you're not agree with anything I might write hehe let me know, I'll edit it. ))

IC: *comes riding (aparently from somewhere :rolleyes: ) , pulls out her sword and tries to helps them out* :p

[Astaldolosswen]

OOC: Don't worry Glory, it works. ;)

IC: *Astal hears Glory ride up and says* "Glory! It is good to hear your horses hooves again!" *she continues to fight off the orcs and she finds her horse and mounts him. she has him go off on at a walk and she is slowly killing orcs as she rides through them.*

[WarriorMay]

May whistles for Iarabeleth and after a short period of time she feels a small nudge. She carefully and slowly mounts Iarabeleth and follows the sound of Astal's horse's hooves.

[Astaldolosswen]

*Astal rides as fast as she can through the orcs always killing the orcs that try to pull her off.*

[goofoofighter]

((sorry if you don't like this Katie... ><))

*In Astaldolosswen's speed comes unstableness in the dark. Her horse trips as the swing an orc was taking at Astal falls on her horse's leg, throwing off his balance in the least.*

((please don't be mad at me, but you don't always come out of a battle unscathed...))

[Astaldolosswen]

OOC: Well, actually I don't. I'm just glad that this RPG is before one that I'm in. My characters hand was nearly biten off. Not cool and in another I was knocked out...lets see...I was kidnapped...and got slashed in the throat nearly dieing. So you cannot say I do not leave a battle unscathed. And lot of this I did to myself. Hehe...

IC: Astal is thrown from her horse and she lands on the ground about ten feet away from her horse. She lands on her body face down and lands on her right arm very hard. Her face is badly scraped from the rocks and her right arm hurts. She tries to fight with it, but it hurts too much to fight with. She then sheaths her blade. The first thing that comes from her mouth is "Is Vanya Ninquë alright? I'm not going on without him." She scrambles in the dark to find Vanya Ninquë. When she does find him, his knees are bleeding from the swing of the orc blade. She tears off her one sleeves, tears it in two and uses it to bandage his knees. She then stands up and leads him out of the fight as quickly as she can, but with his knees like they are, he moves slowly. She draws her sword with her left hand and it is hard for her to fight with. As she is unfamilar to using her left hand. She stumbles once and a while trying to lead Vanya Ninquë out of the fray. If orcs attack her while she is trying to get out, she just slashes at them and Vanya Ninquë tries to help her out as much as he can by neighing threatingly at the orcs.

[WarriorMay]

"Glory! It is good to have you here again!" she says, quite happy. May hears the sounds of Astal falling and is worried. "Astal? Are you ok!?" May swings her sword at the orcs, half the time not hitting anything at all.

[Astaldolosswen]

In reply to May, Astal says "I am fine, but Vanya Ninquë's knees have been hurt. He was bleeding, but I stopped it with a quick form of a bandage of one of my sleeves. My right arm is injuried and my face is all scraped up, but that is the least of my worries." She continues to fight the orcs and lead Vanya Ninquë out of the fray.

[Glory]

*Dismounts her horse and in a blink of a an eye she moves toward Astal* "ught!" *she manages to kill as many orcs as she can, a strange look is seen in her face ...like something were different about her*"aght!" *with one more movement of her sword she kills one orc and turns at Astal* "are you ok?" *looks at astal's horse a little bit worried* "he'll be ok I can manage to get him out of here, but you guys will have to fight on your own, against them" *bites her lip*

[Astaldolosswen]

She looks at Glory and says "I am alright, but I can't fight as well as I normally do. My right arm is very sore. I do not know if it is broken or just spranged, but I am forced to use my left hand when I am not the greatest when fighting with my left hand." She continues to lead Vanya Ninquë out of the fray. She stumbles and when she does, Vanya Ninquë brings his head down by her, she gives him a gentle pat on the nose and gets up. She soon starts to struggle on her way out. She slashes at the orcs that come after her, but just barely being able to stay stand the pain from her arm.

[Glory]

*She looks at her wounded arm* "mmm... I can cover your back while you manage to get out but, they're too many for us. I'm afraid they might harm you even more."

[Astaldolosswen]

"I would have more power against them if my father would have told me the way true way to use his sword, but he didn't and I don't mind, but at times I wish he had. I guess he just figured it would put me in more harm than he wanted me to be in." She continued on her way through the orcs. She continually slashed at the orcs that attacked her. She was getting better at using her left hand, but not much better. Her right arm was very sore and it just hung on Vanya Ninquë's neck.

[WarriorMay]

May continues to fight the orcs but suddenly, Iarabeleth bucks backwards and May falls back and looses the grip on her sword. She gets back up quickly and draws out her dagger.

[goofoofighter]

*the way out is blocked by raging orcs, going that way would be walking blindly into death. The only way is to go towards the herd if you want to excape the action for a period of rest.*
*Help arrives from the cavern the herd is hiding in, the stallion and his older sons join the fray, if only for a little while. Their deep black coats hide them from easy blows, and give off a sense of mystic to the attackers because they cannot be so easily seen.*

((I would love to describe more, but I have to get to bed, I have a soccer game tomorrow that we expect to win, and they're relying on me to be the best goal keeper I can be. Sweet dreams ya'll! BTW, Katie, I might ask you to work with May to run this for a while, at least until the season is over. You'll know if I tell you...))

[goofoofighter]

((sorry, I've just been informed that you guys weren't heading out... ^^ my bad))

*((erm... what do you guys need???))*

[Astaldolosswen]

Astal hears a thump on the ground and realizes that it is May, she then says "May, are you alright?" Just as the words left her mouth, an orc attacked her. She got her blade up just in time to block, but she could not hold it long. She then stabs the orc and continues further into the cave.

[WarriorMay]

"I'm fine, what about you?" she yells over all the noise. Slightly dazed May finds her way to Iarabeleth. She tries her best to mout her, but the orcs keep interfering. She finally gets half way onto Iarabeleth when one of the orcs slash at her leg. She yelps loudly but is able to get onto Iarabeleth.

[Astaldolosswen]

"I am alright." She continues on her way into the cave towards the herd and was attacked by a barage of orcs. She managed to get out, but she was slashed at and she got hit almost every time. She was bleeding badly, but continued on her way out.

[goofoofighter]

*making their way into the cave, they hit a smooth end to their current path. They can't for forward anymore, but the echo of worried hoofbeats could be heard through a pathway to the left which otherwise would have most likely been left unknown.*

((I can start compiling what already happened into a summary if you guys want me to move this to the other site.))

[Astaldolosswen]

((ummmmmm...if everybody else wants to move it, then I don't care.))

*Astal goes to the left with Vanya Ninquë hoping to get him and herself away from the blades of the orcs.*

[goofoofighter]

*the herd goes silent as they hear Astal's shuffling feet approach them, but when they hear Vanya Ninquë, they settle down and welcome them both. Though the orcs still worry her until the rest of the fellowship enters*

*In the darkness, she sees only one light, muffled by the stone slab that covers the container it is kept in*

[goofoofighter]
