Outskirts of Galath - Entrance

IC: Malto

"Well..." said one of the guards uneasily. He glanced toward the other one as if to ask "What do we do?"

"How do we know it's really you?" the other bursted. His face expressed his joy of finding a clever response.

"Yeah! You could be a Black Dusk member in disguise!" the first agreed. "You'll need to prove that you're really the tournament participents."

Malto was clearly sick of this. Shaking himself fully awake, he pulls out what appears to be a large section of tree trunk from his back. "Well, allow me to demonstrate." Malto smiled. Within a moment, Malto's gentle smile was replaced with an angry one. His expression became that of a raging bull. His posture became hunched, and his arms began to bulge. Taking his staff, he twirled it around and slammed it against the ground, shouting in a deep voice separate of his own. "Down The Mountain!" he casted. The land itself shook, tilted, and rose, slanting toward the gates of Galath. The minotaur was perched on the top, holding onto the staff to prevent sliding down.

The guards began let out small noises. If they had been less terrified, the noises would have been shrieks. "You have two options. You can open the gate, or I can." the beast called down. The guards were all but eager to bang on the gates frantically, and let them in.

Malto pulled the trunk-sized staff from the ground, and the mountain returned into the land. Malto needed to find his way toward that disturbance. It was faint now, but Malto might be able to collect some of it. The hulking figure moved quickly through the gates and toward the Knight's Court Inn.

Speared Grape Inn - Tronfros's Room

Debatra's Identify Effect: Neither the book nor the envelope held any magic of its own, magical residue was fresh on it. It came from a transportation spell of some kind, but the residue wasn't good enough to tell of what kind. Whoever put the envelope there knew to cover his tracks.

IC: Narrator

After casting Identify on the book and envelope, then shaking the book violently t- reveal nothing but dusty pages. Debatra takes the envelope, and begins to open it to reveal another note.

Mr. Debatra Fallin,
You caused quite a bit of commotion at the Inn. We were unable to meet and chat, but your scuffle with the gnome was satisfying. We will meet again soon, and alert you in this manner, as it as proven effective.
-An Impressed Friend

P.S. - Don't worry about the note. We'll take it from you ourselves.

Speared Grape Inn

IC: Raz'nak

The cow became riled up, rushing toward the unconcious bald man. From his position, the man's head had suffered a good beating, and he was losing a fair amount of blood. The position the man was laying suggested that his spine was damaged. His spirit was still very much alive, however. Yet voice reached out to him, and it was from the body. It was like a spirit encased inside of the man. Raz'nak could do nothing but look baffled at the man lying lifeless on the table.

The bartender rubbed his head and began to send a curse or two at the minotaur. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Speared Grape Inn

IC: Tronfros Gronintur

Tronfros stared down at the man. The smack had failed to wake him up, so he was clearly more than unconscious. It appeared he was heavily injured as well. His head was bleeding profusely, and it looked like his back may have been broken.

Tronfros reached into a pouch and pulled out one of his many flasks and potions, along with a roll of bandages. He poured a bit of the flask onto the bandage, then gingerly wrapped it around the man's head. "That should stop the bleeding quickly, and remove any infection. As for the injuries to his back, I can do nothing. In my land, that kind of wound is fatal, but maybe there is something you can do for him here?"

Speared Grape Inn - Lobby
IC: Debatra Fallin

After reading the note, Debatra looks around, searching for the stranger from the alley. He didn't see them, and there was no puff of air to warn him this time. Taking advantage of everone's attention being focussed elsewhere, Debatra puts the note back in the envelope and holds it out. After it's taken, he puts his book away and moves to the group.

"Nobody try to move him. I'll fly out and bring help." He offers. "Does anyone know where the nearest hospital is?"

Speared-Grape Inn - Lobby

IC: Raz'nak

"There's one on the other side of the the Knight's Court Inn. Put it there when they made the Arena. Figured someone would get hurt." Raz'nak said to the bat. He watched the body begin to react to the potion. The fresh, warm blood stopped dripping from his head slowly. His blood was flowing, but in a strange fashion. "CRIMSON! GET YOUR DRUNKEN ASS DOWN HERE! YOU'RE NEEDED!" Raz'nak commanded. Many of the still sleeping residents began to shout curses from their rooms, banging on the floorboards in protest. No matter how tired Crimson was, the chorus of mayhem would be hell for his head.

Sure enough, Crimson began stumbling down the stairs holding his head.

***
IC: Crimson

How much would it hurt to take a dagger and just cut off his head? Crimson's throbbing head asked himself. It had better be important, or else Crimson would see to it that Raz'nak's skull was made into a goblet. Crimson entered the lobby to find a man bleeding out of his head.

"What's wrong with him?" Crimson murmured.

"His back is broken, and his head is bleeding," Raz'nak summarized. "He's not dead yet, but I hear something coming from him. I can't explain it."

Crimson hastily hobbled over to the body. He reached his right hand under the man's back, fingering each part of the spine while the left hand held the bloody, bald scalp. "You," Crimson motioned to Tronfros, shifting his hand to hold the man's upper chest and neck. "When I say now, push down on his stomach. Careful not to break any bones."

"And if he does, the man's dead." Raz'nak sneered. "Why don't we get my body first? That way, if either of you screw up, I can fix your mistake."

"Because the longer we wait, the more time this man's condition has to become worse. His spine isn't supporting his body right." Crimson argued.

"Are you two even doctors? The kaedan has the right idea here. They'll fix him up no problem!" the bartender protested.

Galath Arena - Waiting Room

IC: Olm

The serpenti, the gnome, and the elf made their way towards the Galath Arena. Past Malto the minotaur, who was thundering through town toward the Knight's Court Inn. Past Cameron, the ragdoll being pulled through a broken inn window. Past the Clock Tower, where magic had dominated their minds the previous night. The trio walked through the still missing doorways of the Waiting Room, a small area that a contestant must wait behind an iron portcullus before charging into battle, surrounded by an oncheering crowd.

The weapon racks, holy symbols, tables, and chairs were all damaged or burned. The fires had since died, most likely from the gusts of wind that swept through the gate every now and then. One of the only things that remained was pull-down spiral staircase, who's polished wood was still intact. "Who left this open?" Olm wondered. The druid moved toward the staircase when the stairs began to shake. Down came Tarln the Yalok.

Tarln's 8-foot figure made him slump over on the staircase. Frosted bandages were wrapped around his furry gray chest, arms, and legs. His greatclub bounced against the wooden stairs.

"Evening, Olm. Who are your friends?" Tarln bellowed. He eyed Dalji, who was giving him a bit of a vicious stare. His eyes turned toward Lucien, causing him to call out in surprise. "Oh, you! Serpenti! I've been looking for you!" Tarln came down the rest of the stairs and pulled a small from his pack. The bag jingled and shook like money. "This was on your medical bed. You forgot to take it."

Galath Arena - Waiting Room

IC: Dalji the Giant-Killer

"Glad to get the pleasantries aside. So, Beast-man what could you tell me about the attacks earlier?" Dal said cutting in. He had been delayed enough as it was. He had people to kill and only had names; Jimmy the Quick, Pouthic the Angry, and Vedere the Smuggler. Those names would help him find the ones he would kill though, whether they wanted to or not.

The Speared Grape Inn

IC: Tronfros Gronintur

Tronfros scowled at the little skull, then tossed Raz'nak over his shoulder, not caring where he landed. "Alright, I'm ready." he boomed, gently placing both massive hands on the man's stomach. It would be tricky business, due to the fact that his palms were both the at least the size of the man's chest, but he had learned how to use a gentle, steady hand over the years, so he would be up to it.

Galath Arena- Entrance

IC: Ki'Vul Geran

Ki'vul entered the large double doors of the arena, he strode to the fighter registration area. He had been traveling for months now and for weeks he had gone without a fight, he needed to feel the rage of battle again before he went insane. From what the he had learned the arena would give him better sport than any tavern brawl. He got to the counter of the registration deck and put both hands down and leaned forward.

"I'm looking for a fight"

Speared Grape Inn

IC: Crimson Urzi

Crimson nodded at Tronfros. "Alright... Now!" Crimson yelled. Tronfros began to push weight into the man. He began to bend like wood under pressure. Then, with a definite crack and a cry out from the man, his back collapsed onto the table.

"Ah-haa-ah!" he exclaimed. His face contorted, and his arms shook out. His head pulsed out and began to turn purple like a bruise.

Crimson winced at the cry, rubbing his head with his right hand. "I think I can take it from here... I'll help his blood circulate through his head, and it'll know where it needs to go." he nodded to Tronfros. Now looking at the man again, he tried to get him to talk. "Sir, can you tell me what happened?"

***
IC: Cameron Moltise

"There's a minotaur, and a dwarf, and a fat human." Topis pointed out. "Ohh, and the floors are made of wood, and the table we're on is also wood, but a different type. And then-"

"Cameron! Get Topis to shut up!" Malis cried. "By Redorente's light! The day we find Markos is the day we can all rest easy!" Malis continued to bicker, but Cameron was in too much pain to listen to it all.

Midanik awoke. "I can sense him." it said to the other Shards, who's mental response was sudden. Midanik was a quiet one, never talking unless it was important. "Cameron needs to get better first. The less you talk, the better."

"He's around..." Cameron said aloud. "My head..."

Galath Arena - Entrance

IC: Counter Receptionist

The woman turned from her book, and sighed. "You're a little late. The tournament's already started." She looked at Ki'vul up and down, and sighed again. She leaned toward a list on the counter, and lifted a few pages. "Capricorn has reserved the Arena grounds for practice later in the morning. He'd probably welcome some practice rounds with you. Try then." She returned to her book.

I'm only typing with one hand right now, so I'll be brief. Basically, I swerved off the road and hit a tree. In my parents car. Totaled it.
Luckily for me, and all you Yorg-loving escapist RPers out there, I came away from the wreck with not but a sprained wrist and a black eye. I'm lucky to be alive, as I barely missed a light pole.
Unfortunately, my right wrist, which is my dominant one, is badly sprained, which means my posts will be sporadic and brief for... about a week. I'll try to post as much as I can, but if it gets too much I may have to ask a few people to take over my chars.
I'm also in a terrible funk, as you can imagine, so my creativity has basically gone down the pot, at least for the next two days or so. I know this comes at an incredibly bad time, so I'm sorry.
I'll be PMing a few ppl and posting in my RPs to get some of my more prominent chars into good hands. *cough* Aqua *cough*
And again, I'm terribly sorry.

Ouch, well it's good you came out relatively unharmed. Hope your hand heals fine.

Galath Arena - Waiting Room

IC: Lucien Z'rai'thai

"Be silent, gnome." The Serpenti hissed softly, taking the sack from Tarln and looking inside to affirm that it was money, or anything else important. "Patience is a virtue, and one that even some humans possess. You will get your information in due time, but almost certainly not by demanding it." He advised, turning his attention and words back to the Yalok. "Thank you. May I ask the source of your injuries, or would you prefer to address the gnome's question first?"

He seemed unduly and uncomfortably polite to Tarln, as if he owed him something - which he well and truly did. Despite the common association with Serpenti as dishonorable liars (due to the symbolism of snakes as deceitful animals), they took repaying their debts to an extreme level. Tarln was now under Lucien's protection (to the extent that the only thing that wouldn't be offered was his life), but whether or not that was a good thing was debatable.

Galath Arena - Waiting Room

IC: Tarln

The bag opens to reveal a large spiked chain connected by three handle rings. The chain resembles the weapon used by Lucien's previous arena combatant.

"Ah, just the injuries from yesterday's fight. Rushing into battle against those assassins made my injuries flare up some more, so I've decided to wear them again today to be safe." Tarln smiled at Lucien. He held his smile until he looked at Dalji with disdain. "About the assassins... well, there were four at all times. Killing one made another come out of the shadows. If you hit one, they turned into smoke-"

Olm looked up. "Actually, you usually never hit one." Olm corrected. Realization spread over his. "Moments before you hit one, it would burst into smoke. There's a chance that he doesn't move through the shadows like I thought. He might just have access to summon spells that can do that, and he simply swapped places with them."

Galath Arena- Reception

IC: Ki'vul

Ki'vul grunted, it irritated him that he would not be allowed to join the main event but a fight was a fight.

" When and where will we fight?" Ki'vul asked without the slightest hint of courtesy.

IC: Dalji the Giant-Killer

"Hah! The thanks I get for trying to help a Beast-man. I will find these would-be assassin whether you help or not." Dally said to the Beast-man with equal disdain. He didn't really care if the thing liked him or not, if it was going to be uncooperative there were always other methods Dalji could resort to. "Either way, if the attackers were present here in a physical form no matter if they were using magic, I would bet that they left some trace behind. Did either of you see someone or something out of place before the attacks? Anything you may remember could be crucial." Daly asked gesturing to Olm and the Beast-man.

"Please refrain from making rude comments, Snake-man. You seem no more patient then any human. I demanded nothing from the Beast-man, I just tire of your slow snake ways." Dally said as an insult. Dally made no pretense about his distaste of others, but he did not have time for such delays. Ever second they wasted an already dwindling trail became colder. The assassin's were after something here. They left when they chose to meaning that they must have accomplished what they were after. All Dalji had to discover was what.

IC: Lucien Z'rai'thai

"You are shockingly rude to a being capable of swallowing you whole, gnome." Lucien commented snidely, coiling about himself as he usually did when expecting not to move for even a fairly short period of time. He didn't have much to do, his battle with Raz'nak not to begin until later that day, and decided he may as well help Olm and Dalji out, even though he bore a particular distaste for the gnome. After all, he could well have been crushed by the wreckage which he at least suspected was a result of the criminals, and had taken part in the fight with the 'assassins'.

Now that he could at least suspect that the assassins had been members of Black Dusk, he would hunt them down and strike quickly and quietly, like the serpent (well, Serpenti) that he was. And like any other, he would not miss.

Wow, this one just keeps on truckin'. I have to say, it seems as though it's way past it's due, but just the simple fact that it's still alive(barely) makes me want to keep it going. Damn me and my forgetfulness.

I'm too tired to post any more tonight, as I just got back from a trip, unpacked, checked up with friends, ate an amazing sandwich, and made a big post in Surge, but I'll try my bestest to post here tomorrow. Let's see how long we can prolong this RP's death wait, shall we?

EDIT: Just remembered Tronfros can't really do anything more at the moment. So... I'll post as soon as Tiki updates. By that time I'll probably have forgotten about it >.>

RAAAAGE! There's a reason I made a usergroup. I get alerts when people make chat comments, so it's better than posting in the thread. kthx
