Hedge Havoc

>[WolfTooth] Razor requests that you join them in the Traveling_(Closed) room.

[Wolftooth ] ((Lemme check my char sheet one more time ... found some inconsistencies earlier.))

[MorgenMorgensson ] Hazy's awake and hould be here soon :)

[Razor ] Ok..here the rules. Those promoted...someone comes in and posts w/o asking for invite, kick 'em. I have zero tollerance for idgwits.

Verhowain declares bloodfued on Morgen! The Morgenssons and the Magnisons have been at war for generations!! *G*

Raghnall and his kidnapped GF (only way he can get one) appears. ;)

[Verhowain ] Cool beans Razor.

[Razor ] I cant cause then i'lll lag to hell and back

[Razor ] Kaelie..you can kick Raghnall if he starts to sexually harrass you =P

[Razor ] Someone invite Lin..I've spelled her name wrong 3x's already

MorgenMorgensson Is Morgen Son of Morgen :P

Linsida came on her own thank you. :P

[Razor ] yeah i keep missing the second i and i cant open my user list =P

[Razor ] oks. here we go!

[Razor ] you ARE all prepared to die now right?

Linsida is ready to raise dead yes.

Verhowain 's prepared for all of them to die.. *nods*

[Wolftooth ] ((Char sheet in my profile is updated and ready. Bring it on.))

Kaelie is a dead half-breed walkin' ~.^

MorgenMorgensson thinks this is a good day for everyone else to die :P

Raghnall 's ready for Verh to take his place.

Vivican 'll be ready to die when her eyes actually open

[Razor ] Upon recieving your nice rewards from the Elvin Lady, she asks a small boon from you. To deliver a notice to her people to let them know of her recovery as it will be several days before she can travel. You, being so pleased with the gifts you recieve readily agree. Just as you are readying to leave, Dun receives a missive from his home lands. His organizations greatest warrior, Thurnail, has been currupted by a succubas and needs to be saved. Having grown attached to the walking Tin can, Kesyn offers to go along. Ticker, having thought Kesyn was the woman of his dreams, having wings an all, invites himself along.

Razor really wants to see Lin raise the dead.

Linsida just needs to ok the level boosts. ;D

Vivican notes you only need 5 more, hey Lin =P

Wolftooth doesn't want to go see the elves ... 0.0

Kaelie wonders if she's going to have to make a stop and say hi to her mother along the way.. O.o

Verhowain 's interested in going, it's been a long time since he's been to a town...

[Razor ] So you travel onwards, headed south through the forests, having inherrited the tempermental feline from Kesyn since Razor clearly has some sort of objection to traveling anywhere with Dun. Little happens really, there are small villages you stop in for replenishing supplies and are able to barter room in a stable for the nights that are cold and when you have little desire to sleep out in the open..like when it rains. Along the path there has been errected an ivy wall, stretching far in each direction. As this is the straightest route to where your going, going around it will likely put you back as much as 4 days on your journey because the undergrowth that runs along the wall is so thick that even Razor has a hard time wiggling through it. To the left of the path is an opening that goes through the hedge work. This is where you begin. Wolf, Ver, Kae, Lin

[Razor ] your outvoted Wolf =P

[Wolftooth ] ((Question ... this opening leads to where we need to go, the elven lands?))

[Razor ] -it leads to the coast where you have the option to pass the message to someone going that way =P

[Razor ] going through the opening cuts 4-5 days off your trip..the most direct route.

Wolftooth catches sight of the opening, and knows it to be the quickest way. That's all the incentive he needs. Elves don't like him, and he's not too keen on elves either. The sooner they can get this side trip overwith, the sooner he can get back to life as he prefers it ... on his own in the wilds. So through the opening and beyond he goes.

Verhowain follows along after Wolf, doing his best not to get too far ahead of the others nor lose sight of Wolf. His attentions really have been on trying to figure Razor out... He's certainly curious bout her but hasn't asked many questions yet.

Kaelie peers at the ivy wall as she follows along behind the druid. I wonder who put it here...

Linsida wipes her fore head with her sleave and sighs. "I wonder how long it will be before everyone knows about the healing of The Lady." Keeping an eye out for the back of the party.

Razor 's been acting more feline then not since the incident with the old Druid, not having uttered another 'word' since. She alternates with who she walks beside, her pace altering accordingly. The untamed hedge surrounds you in a riot of growth and decay. Cissus ivy grows thick and tangled on tresslises overhead. all though the walls around you were once meticulously trimmed, years of neglect have given them a shaggy appearance. Leaves blur into organic tapestry stained the color of crushed grapes. No sign of a support structure for the wass is visiable, their tops are atleast 15 ft high.

[Razor ] The path is 10ft across and goes straight for a while, likely it was someones creation a time ago. The path turns right, then left and right again, taking you on a leasurely stroll thorugh the follage. Artifical twilight lights the path, some of the sunlight able to pierce the thick canapy over your heads.

[Razor ] Wolf, Ver Kae Lin

Wolftooth plods unceremoniously along, glancing back behind him every now and again to make sure the others are keeping in time, but primarily he is on alert for any possible surprises. The fact that this place has fallen into neglect makes one wonder just what might have caused the place to be abandoned in the first place. Whatever it is, he hopes he doesn't find out firsthand.

Verhowain 's attention is drawn to the seeming tamed now wild nature of the ivy around them, pausing to look at certain parts of the bush to find out more about it, perhaps how long ago it was last trimmed andthelike.

Kaelie starts humming to entertain herself, while she looks about at the unkempt foilage. It sort of reminded her of a complex garden maze, but so far without any obvious side paths or decrative statuary.

Linsida nudges Alfred on while smileing at the the others, "So how long is this little detour going to take?" as she askes the forward members of the party while ducking the foilage.

Razor pauses occassionally along the path, her nose pushing against the foliage or near the base of the hedges as though she's picked up something. Nothing sets her off though. The scent of the foliage, new and decayed masks some oders, making others more predominate. the path makes a sudden right hand turn, the walkway extending a good distance this time rather then the shorter intervals between turns. Dead leaves crunch under foot as well as the occasional dried out branch that had fallen from above to create a small shaft of light.

Wolftooth steps on a twig with an audible snap, glancing down at it and pausing a moment before continuing on. He grunts at Linsida's question, distracted momentarily as he does his best to determine how much longer until they reach their destination. In fact, he stops and takes the time now to kneel low to the ground, searching for any footprints or signs of passage. If he finds any, he'd like to determine how old said signs are and make certain he knows which direction.

Verhowain looks back to Lin "This should take roughly 4 days off our travel time." He smiles "And besides isn't it better to walk int he woods rather then on some path?"

[Razor ] -there was some passage not long ago..maybe the day before. There are more then one distinct print where the leaves and debree are crushed or kicked asside. A fairly large print..some others that are smaller, hunan likely as the prints have a normal shape to them. There are a few animal ones as well..iincluding ones that resemble loosely Razors

[Kaelie ] "I guess we'll find out when we get to the end," she shrugs as she glances back at Linsida.

Linsida nods to Verhowain, then to Kaelie. "Just makeing sure, I don't know if Alfred has enough food to last much longer then that, but then again he can eat well..." as she looks at Wolf. "See anything intresting Oh Brave one?" as she looks at Wolf.

[Razor ] -last post i saw was Ver's...

Kaelie reposts :"I guess we'll find out when we get to the end," she shrugs as she glances back at Linsida.

[Razor ] got Lins and wh from Wolf

[Razor ] -wolf can answer while i write up more

Wolftooth humms approvingly at Verhowain's question. Give him cross country over open road any day. "Tracks here. A day old, maybe two. Man-size, except one. Larger. Cat tracks, too. Probably a day ahead of us." He rises, sniffing the air and frowning. "Be on guard ... wild cats are territorial." That being said, Wolftooth resumes his march, eyes still darting from side to side suspiciously.

[Verhowain ] "Cats you say? The size of Razor here?" He asks, moving closer to Wolftooth so as not to have to yell... He's been looking for an Animal Companion afterall...

Wolftooth glances to Verhowain briefly, nodding.

Razor hangs back by Alfred's heels, once and a while she pauses to look behind them all, one paw raised in the air like prey being stalked and listening to the sounds around her. The trail goes on wards, once more turning left then right again till it comes to a juncture that turns right. There are two paths here..one straight, one making a hard right to go back along the path you are coming up. At the corner a space has been cleared, the depree brushed away to accomidate two sleeping bags and a little hole dug out for a fire. The last is placed away from the foliage and no dead leaves are near it, someone very knowledge able in the unpredictability of fire. The remains of a meal are there too, a few bones from a rabbit or other small creature. From how the ground is..they moved on in a big hurry...not more then a few hours ago..as little as 1 if the fire is checked..it was put out with a quick kicking of dirt over it.

Razor 's been passed over for the job..how nice =P

[Razor ] -Vivican and Morgen traveled the straight path, being lured that way by the sounds of someone cursing the foliage, Raghnall, who's became disoriented in the dark when he tried to continue onwards after no more light came through the canopy overhead. Having tried to wedge his way through the hedge, he's become stuck. This is how they find him, wedged half in, half out of the ivy wall.

Raghnall makes notes of bad bad stuff to do to the DM forthat, ;)

[Razor ] Rag Viv and Morgen..Rag first then you two. Wolf Ver Kae Lin along with them, just wait for the person your after. Wolf and rag can start when they are ready

[Razor ] -note we are posting in groups for the moment! so dont wait for the other, just those in your group!

Wolftooth does indeed inspect the campsite thoroughly, poring over the areas for the sleeping bags to get a relative idea of how large the pair of campers were. He even brings the remains of their dinner to his nostrils for a quick sniff, nose quickly wrinkling as he tosses the bones aside. "Yugh ... campsite's not too old. Well made, though." A hand hovers over the firepit, then prods the coals just slightly. "Still warm ... smothered recently." Wolftooth glances down either side passage now, working to see which way the campers may have gone.

Verhowain ponders keeping in sight of Wolf and the others glancing back towards Razor gauging the idea ofher actually accepting another cat around... He looks to Wolf "Does it seem that they may be a problem for us?" he crouches down to look at the scene beside Wolf.

Raghnall sighs and shake his head at the mess he's gotten himself into. He knows better then to try and take shortcuts in his work. He looks behind him away from the path and plants the butt of his spear into the ground. Grabbing the other end just under the head he trys to give himself enough of a push to be through the wall and onto the path again. He Sighs again. "Couldnt wait till morning could you? Had you get stuck Now.. With gods knows what runnig around out there and you her cought in a stupid bush with easy access and everything. They wont have to try very had to get you will they? ... ... ..." He goes on and on. Mostly yelling at himself and the small trip he's on.

Razor just has to wonder if she left a pile of horse manure there if Wolf would check it for warmth too...

MorgenMorgensson suggests Razor go take a crap ;P

Linsida pats Alfred's neck softly and nods to the group. "Ah well I think you two can handle the animals quiet well between the two of you." As she beams, and continues following the trail laid before her. She blinks as she comes to the camp. "So we

Raghnall grumbles and uses his spear on his typos, -_-

Linsida apologizes, then takes the enter key and slays it.

Kaelie purses her lips as dismounts to have a look around herself, but she keeps a firm hand on the reins; the mare was prone to wandering and she didn't particularly feel like having to chase the beast down just to get her things back. "Hmm.." she looks between the two paths curiously. "I wonder which leads to safety and which to imminent doom.." She glances back at her companions with a wicked smirk. "Isn't it always like that in the stories?"

MorgenMorgensson moves withe ease, a calm easy grace, his wolf cloak flowing behind him. His shield is on his arm and his sword is in hand. They dont know what's in here and he believes in being prepared for danger. meet it head on and it#s a great deal easier to believe. he hears Raghnall a long time before he sees him, having to take a turn or two befoer he finds him, wedged into the wall of all things. When he's certain the man is stuck there and thus poses no threat his deep laugh breaks out. That appeals to his sense of humour,m simpl and direct like the man himself "Vivi! Come look at this." Still laughing heartily, highly amused

[Linsida ] "So we're not going to stop here for lunch then?" as she peers around and frowns alittle. She blinks at Kaelie and nods, "At least alot of leagons but I don't think we're quiet there yet."

Razor cocks an ear in Lins direction at her words, once more following the conversations with movements of her head. she plops down and starts knawing on the little bones, cracking them periodicly to slurp out the tasty marrow inside. It sounds like she's chewing marbles, making a hellish amount of noise as well to those close by, the hedge acting almost like solid walls. Amurmer of voiceis is heard from somewhere to the left, through the hedge, a louder Vivi comeing clear enough around the twists and bends.

[Razor ] -same again both groups

Wolftooth looks up at Ver and shrugs. "No way to know." Following what he sees, and perhaps a wild hunch, he moves to the junction and looks down the straight path for a time, then looks down the other way that bends back along the way they just came. He picks something out of his teeth before answering Kaelie. "Safety is back that way," he says, pointing down the side passage. Turning the other way, he says, "We go straight." It's not quite clear whether he's kidding or not. And now his ears perk up at the sounds of voices ...

Vivican 's not but a few paces behind at the yell, sun streamers of plates whipping out behind her at the increased pass, fluid in motion, an animal grace to the woman, tall and imposing, a large handaxe swung easily in her hand, the other not far from the scabbard at her toned waist. The bear, roaring as it is in motif on the sheild resting at her back. Laughter booms out, the feminine amusement that of a warrior "I thought it was tradition to have to capture yuor prey...Not for your prey to capture himself.." She can't help it, the woman slaps the trapped man on the rump with a hearty resounding slap, friendly as they come "Nice ornament really....Shame we need him..."

Verhowain nods and turns to smile at Lin "The steed should be fine I would imagine." He looks over to Razor and tries to pet her this once while she's busy with bones. He grows quiet upon hearing the faint sound of voices, though more noticing Wolf's reaction then anything he actually heard.

Razor now see's Rag as a sacrafice at Viv's words

[Kaelie ] "Imminent doom it is then," she rolls her eyes when his back is turned to her as she remounts. The voices catch her attention, but she's disinclined to lead the way down strange paths. So, she waits for thier galant leader to make the first move.

Linsida makes alittle o with her mouth as she nods to Verhowain, while looking toward Wolf. "Um I'm guessing I'm not the only one that hears that. So are we going to look or camp?" as she chuckles alittle and leans forward in the saddle.

Razor doesnt bit the hand that pets her, even gooing so far as to make a low rumbling sound that resembles somewhat of a purrrrr. Who ever was camped there went straight, likely from there around one bend or another but they dont sound threatening, the words that are caught are full of merth. She flicks the pieces of bone from her mouth with her tongue, almost like spitting them out as she gains her feet to follow along behind them when they move, once again she looks in another direction first, this one the path they are not going down and freezing solid for the space of several seconds. then she bolts forward, passing the others and finally Wolf until she's waits them at the corner which goes left or up a ways then right.

Raghnall glances at Morgen and Vivi. "Oh. Yes. Ha! Ha!. Funny aint it? ...Look if all your going to do is stand there and mock me you can move on. Its not like i Ment to get stuck in this ....this ....Damnable wall . This ...place is Confusing that im just trying to get out before nightfall. ...Or i Was at any rate. Stupid bushes." He goes back to cursing his ...path and the fact that he's here. He keeps pushing on his spear trying to atleast pry himself out or something ... Anything. ....damn .....Weeds.

[Razor ] -keep going in order till i tell you otherwise, I'll go each time after Lin for Wolfs group, the other group can go on as they are until we catch up to them

Wolftooth watches Razor's peculiar antics, noting them. Without a word, he shakes his head and resumes the trek, making no effort at stealth. After all, his group does have the advantage of numbers. "On we blindly stumble," he mutters under his breath, grinning and chuckling to himself as he hefts his pack into a more comfortable position.

MorgenMorgensson Stops laughing slowly, pointing at Raghnall with his sword "What for we need a man who gets caught by plants? Unless we use him as bait." Yes, good plan, bait. He turns away a moment, looking up and down the green lined hallway, all trace of his earlier mirth gone from his face now as he tries to work out where they're going "Okay, if he knows where the rest of the pieces are we'll rescue him." Huge warrior having a sulk moment? Surely not

Verhowain chuckles and rises to follow after Wolf humming a song infact, true it's likely twenty years out of style but still he hums it... badly... He uses his cudgel as a cane as it were just incase we do have to flog someone ahead.

Razor atays more the the front before the horses then to the back with them, alternating between nearly being on Wolfs heels to halfway hiding under Ver's cloak/robe. Since Wolf is following his ears as well as the marks left by two..one likely female, both tall from the long legged strides, its not long before the voices are much much clearer. In their glee over Rags perdiciment, Viv and Morgen do not at first hear the humming until Wolf turns the corner to the passage they are in. There are two that Wolf see's both looking rather intently at a wiggling section of hedge about 50ft up the walkway.

Vivican 's tut is audible, the thunk of her handaxe going back into it's sheath on her belt echoing with finality "We are not so mercenary...He is a man in need and we have means to aid him. His aid will not be given by threat, good acts breed goodness, Morgen." Her tone low, direct and dissapointed, eyes lingering over the frame of the massive warrior, cheeks heating as she turns to the stuck man....Reaching to lung in and grab him at the waist, the towering warrior woman set to just yank him from the bushes, realeaseing pent up tension with a yell to rival Xena on her best days.

[Razor ] -tuck that in after Lin's post

Kaelie seriously tries not to cring at Owain's odd little tune as she nudges her mare onward.

Linsida smiles only slightly at Wolftooth's words, then nudges Alfread to follow. "So what are we doing after this little romp?" as she askes the others in the group.

[Razor ] Razor atays more the the front before the horses then to the back with them, alternating between nearly being on Wolfs heels to halfway hiding under Ver's cloak/robe. Since Wolf is following his ears as well as the marks left by two..one likely female, both tall from the long legged strides, its not long before the voices are much much clearer. In their glee over Rags perdiciment, Viv and Morgen do not at first hear the humming until Wolf turns the corner to the passage they are in. There are two that Wolf see's both looking rather intently at a wiggling section of hedge about 50ft up the walkway. With a screaching yell the woman 'attacks' the hedge with both hands. From it comes out a man sized figure, suddnely free'd he over sets Vivican's balance with his flailing arms.

[Razor ] Wolf Ver Kae Lin Rag Viv Morgen

Wolftooth gives Razor a strange look, thinking he'll need to have a word with that cat at some point. He then turns a corner and spots the source of the voices, hearing the woman's loud war cry in the distance. No time to answer questions ... Wolftooth quickly draws his axes and charges down the passage to close the distance ... only to stop halfway as he realizes there was never any combat to be had anyway. It looks as if the pair have just helped a third out of the bushes. Wolftooth stows the axes as quickly as they were drawn, letting out a loud "Gfa ha ha!" and continuing towards the pair, now a trio.

Verhowain follows Wolf quickly and can't help but chuckle when he sees the Hedge nearly having 'et' someone. "Here now there's no need to hack the poor thing to mulch!" He offers... "I'm sure I can make it easier..."

Razor btw is seeing multiples of everones post so bear with her for screw ups and the like

Kaelie ,after seeing the antics of the group they've just come upon, casts a sideways glance in Linsida's direction with a miscivious smirk, "I wonder if they'll be in need of your services, O'Lady Fair."

Linsida raises an eyebrow at Wolf's laugh, following behind Kaelie before comeing about the group and not quiet understanding the laugh. "I can cure alot of things with the power of love, but I do not know if madness is one of them." as she smiles back at Kaelie.

Razor peeks out from the edge of Ver's coverings, looking much like they are attached at the calf. Though something in here definately spooks her, its not those ahead as she lays back her ears to emit a rather impressive growl at them.

Raghnall gets freed and goes deaf in one move. His eyes go wide at being pulled out of the hedges where he was stuck. Spear and all in one tug. His spear getting hooked slightly on his way out. His refusal

Raghnall gets freed and goes deaf in one move. His eyes go wide at being pulled out of the hedges where he was stuck. Spear and all in one tug. His spear getting hooked slightly on his way out. His refusal to let go of it however due to the sudden act of being pulled right out of the hedge creates a slingshot effect. When the spear come loose. He goes forwards, colliding with Viv and probably knocknig them both to the ground. He lays on her for a second almost too stuned to know what to do.

Vivican tumbles in a surprised 'umph' of sound, the tall woman upended like a tree hit by a gale, the man she's so valiantly plucked free still held by the waist, chest to chest, though it seems that he's set to strangle her, his spear springing forward to settle across her throat. It takes just a few seconds for her to realise she's on her back, on the floor, and she's not alone, a roll of powerful hips sends the man from her frame, pushing him off and over onto his back beside her, still not realised they aren't alone

Razor checks Morgen for a pulse.

MorgenMorgensson reacts almost instantly, all trace of humour gone from his face now as he reacts to this new party arriving. He does not know them and therefore does not trust them. He steps over Vivi's lithe form with ease, his foot coming back down just past her waist. Unfortuanately for Raghnall that puts his foot directly over his right side. Morgen doesnt appear to notice, his full weight on that foot as he steps forward three or four paces. His shield is up, held ready, but his great longsword is he;d so that the paryty can see the flat of his blade, not a thgreatening position, but a polite threat that an attack will be met in kind. He hasnt spoken yet since they havent spoken to him or Vivi. The wet leaf he doesnt think gets a vote yet

[Razor ] Rag Wolf Ver Viv Lin Kae Morgen

Raghnall quicky scrambles a few feet away from Vivi after being removed from his postion on top of her. Thus putting a nice few feet from Morgen's foot at the same time. Unsure of how she would take such an action. Even one as unvolintary as that and even in that short time since he met her. He's sure she isnt someone he wants to offend. He raises up just slightly, using his spear to party porp himself up. He stampers slightly at Vivi. "im so...rry. I didnt.... I mean it was.... my spear.... and i.... and ..." He sighs deeply and trys to catch his breath, closing his eyes for a second to center himself. His face gone slightly pale and red at the sametime over the whole event. He opens his eyes and looks at Vivi again. "Th..Thank you.. for your ...helpinthat ...small ...matter." He coughs slightly.

Razor inches further with menicing growls as Morgent brandishes his weapon at them. Her pace is slow but steady, one paw being placed before the other as her body lowers to the ground by fractions to make her self a smaller target. Her lip curls up as the growls continue, inching free of Ver's cloak and starting to come even with Wolf.

[Razor ] -spear and 'small matter' should never be used by a man in the same sentence =P

MorgenMorgensson will return.........

[Vivican ] - Well in this case, I think it fits.

[Kaelie ] ((*snickers*))

Raghnall grumbles slightly,..........

[Wolftooth ] ((My go?))

Wolftooth doubles over now, unable to advance further as he holds his gut from laughing at the slapstick sideshow going on just ahead, stumbling to one side to lean against the hedge wall at the side of the path and steady himself. "Gwah ha ha haa!!" He then raises a fist to pound it against the hedge, but his fist ends up going clean through on the first stroke, not having yet tested his newfound strength. His arm is now stuck in the hedge, and once he realizes this he quickly shuts his mouth and calms back down, clearing his throat and pretending his actions were completely intentional as he works to free himself.

MorgenMorgensson is goign to take a shower just ignore his posts as necessary till his player gets back :)

Razor can smell you across the ocean Morgen baby!

[Razor ] dfgjmwsdfkbm

Verhowain holds up his cudgel ready to react should something ill toward happen... Such as Wolf getting stuck... He sidles up to Wolf and works hopefully his druidic trickery to get Wolf free without the need to dismantle half the hedge.. Looking around at the new trio "Just a moment and we'll be right with you.."

[Razor ] -sorry, just dropped a lit cigarette into my lap and shoved the keyboard off to get it..owies!

[Kaelie ] "Friend or Foe?" she calls out to the trio with a faint trace of mirth in her voice.

Kaelie appologies for the early post..

[Razor ] *The ivy moves just a little, as though alive, sweaving for a moment back onto itself in a section that goes up and down from Wolfs arm about two feet. For a moment, the other side is visable..somethings there..then not as the hedge starts to close again when like its fighting Ver..giving Wolf no more then a glimpse before it starts to close once more.

[Razor ] -early postings ok guys..I aint trying to kill you...yet

Vivican flips to her feet, well she kinda rolls and gets up really, but a flip would have been so much cooler. Morgen's actions having drawn the ice inlaid eyes of her wide eyes taking in the rabble in front of them, and the man behind her, she's poised for movement, the obviously powerful woman raising her chin to meet the glances coming her way, her hand gesturing to the rampant mouthed man to shut up a moment "No thanks are needed, but silence for a moment is..." The intent the stammering speaman is to stay in his place implied as she looks to the other group again, a step forward with her hands free of weapons and palms open "Well met, fellow travellers. I am Vivicen Morgensson and this is my brother, Morgen..."

[Vivican ] (Notes the a is cause she typod vivicen's password and hasn't sorted it out yet.)

Linsida coughs lightly at the group and shakes her head before speaking. "Oh Dear I don't think we need to fight them, unless they mean us harm, but jugdeing by the laughter comeing from boths sides I don't we need worry." She nods to Vivican, with a slight bow in the saddle of her horse. "I am Linsida, priestess of Aphrodite, and my friends can introduce themselves."

[MorgenMorgensson ] My post?

Kaelie makes a slight guesture of greeting with her right hand. "Kaelie Greyselk," she smiles but says no more than that as she gives them a cursory glance over.

Razor gets fully past Wolf and Ver as they play in the bushes with each other. She's still snarling at the group before them, teeth bared and the tip of her tail twitching as it rests close to the ground. The hackles on her neck and back are raised to give her a larger appearance.

MorgenMorgensson doesnt appear to be laughing now. Little fornicating weasel manages to get away after all that? Moves like a weasel, and robbing him of his one little revenge. This hasnt done much to improve his humour right now> What comes out of the almost regal looking Warrior is a rather trite "That depends." In response to the "Friend or Foe" question

[Razor ] Wolf Ver Morgen Rag Viv Kae Lin (women together, men together sicne the ladies appear more friendly towards each other =P)

Wolftooth manages to get his fist unstuck thanks to Verhowain's assistance. He quickly dusts off his sleeves, yet slows as realization hits him just what he almost saw on the other side of the hedge. He slowly takes a step or two away from the hedge to stand at the center of the path, wide eyed. Something that sounds vaguely like gratitude is mumbled in Owain's direction before he looks to the others at the far end of the path. He isn't about to give his name unless asked ... or prodded. He growls right back at Razor. "Quiet, you."

Razor stops her noises but not her movements, still creeping closer to the other three with likely murderous intent on her mind.

Verhowain looks to Wolf at the seeming livingness of the Hedge and more importantly if he got a better look at what was back there then he did. He smiles at Vivicen "Verhowain Magnison, at your service Ma'am... well currently at his service..." Indicating Wolf... He tries to be the druid and takes a step or two to Razor hoping to calm her down without losing limbs or skin.

Razor stops at the touch on her back, going still like a statue, ears still layed back.

MorgenMorgensson 's blade flicks at the sight of the rather large feline prosling closer. The razor sharp and very dangerous looking edge is facing the party now, ready for any attack that may come. He has only one real purpose in life and that's the protection of his sister. He hasnt moved yet, just waiting, but he's ready, wolf pelt cloak hanging behind him, wolf's head in a silent snarl on his shield. He's the very picture of a Norse warrior from head to toe and while he doesnt look dangerous as such, the threat is there, his face impassive

Raghnall sits where he is for a moment. Almost panting. His normal color returning to his face. He sighs ....but quietly as he pulls himself up off the ground behind the two meeting groups. He glances over them all and starts to mutter something about some loud mouthed old fool while he dust himself off and check his clothes for damage. He doesnt need all this. The places back in Ptolus were Alot easier to get to and all mostly in the same area. ...Damned old fool. Talking him into coming clear out here. For what? A hedge maze and some bizarre ....Zoo?! Damnable Animals . He sighs and straightens himself out slightly. Watching the somewhat small gathering. Though not saying anything nor introducing himself just yet.

[Razor ] -ladies, you can post when your ready, dotn wait for the men!

Vivican 's hand comes out, gripping to the lower arm of her brother, stilling his blade, her eyes blazing with the secret communication of those who have known each other too long. Then back, to the rest of the assembled group, and the huge cat out front, she may not be the sharpest crayon in the box, but she's observant, each glanced at slowly "I hope to say Friend, Goodwoman. For we so hate to make enemies where friends could be sewn. There is enough in the world to find sadness with as it is." A step closer, slow as not to disturb the large cat. "You are travelling for a great purpose, as we are?"

Kaelie eyes Morgan openly with a slight twist to her lips. All rippling muscle and very little tact.. "Hmm.." Might be useful.. Kaelie glances over the other two newcomers again before letting a faint smile take hold as she settles on Vivicen. "Yes," she smiles vaguely. "I don't supose you and your brother know the quickest way out of here?"

Wolftooth catches Ver's look and nods briefly, seeing that he has Razor under control ... so far as possible, anyway. He's curious about that hedge, or what's behind it. He's never been the social type, anyway. And so, he now proceeds to do something potentially stupid, backing up a step or two before charging headlong into and hopefully through the hedge and full speed.

[Razor ] -please note, if you need to post 'out of turn' just let me know before hand if you want to react to something major..minor things you can post out of order for if you think that others should be aware of your actions early!

Linsida sighs as she dismounts and starts walking forward toward the other group, her weapons by her side but nowhere near her hands as she walks over to them with palms face up. "We come to bear news for the elves that their Majtisty is healed and will be heading home soon, after that we may go our ways."

Verhowain kneels down on one knee beside and slightly behind Razor "She gets spooked by strangers you see..." He smiles brightly hoping that his raggedy 'man of the mountains with the weird eyes' doesn't make the smile look rather.... crazed. He glances back towards Wolf and the others his eyes wide and gesturing either towards them or beyond them before turning back to the trio smiling again "There there girl It's okay..." He leans down to murmur to her and doing his best to cover his casting of Magic Fang on her with this action.

[Razor ] roll a d20 please Wolf- against strength

[Wolftooth ] ((Booyah!))

[Razor ] -you go head long right thorugh Wolf..and half way into the other side!

Razor notes thats the other hedge wall across the path you just entered. =P

Kaelie gives Linsida a searching look and almost murmurs under her breath, "Your honesty is ever so refreshing..."

[Razor ] everyone react to Wolf?

Verhowain just sorts buries his head at Wolf's rather dramatic action "Subtle we ain't..." He mutters.

[Razor ] -after you react to Wolf and his hedge jumping. please pause. you may post in any order.

Linsida looks at Kaelie. "I prefer not too..." as she blinks as Wolf goes head long into the bushes. She sighs slightly and shakes her head.

MorgenMorgensson reacts to Vivi's touch, turning to look at her with a barely perceptible nod. The greatsword slams back into it;s sheath a moment later, a finality to the sound of the guard meeting the top of the sheath. He's nto raggedy in the least, his furs are clean and well tended and very warm and his armour gleams in the sunlight> Even his tied back hair is clean, gleaming gold in the light. He watches Wolf a moment. Fool wants to attack the shrubbery who's he to stop it? But if he's wanting rescuing later he's going to have to ask. he's still smarting ver their last "Rescue"

Kaelie swings her head around as she hears something crashing through the hedgegrowth her eyes wide with suprise, and a moment later realizes it was Wolf. She shakes her head with a muttered curse, "He'll find trouble for us I'm sure of it.."

Vivican hand tightens on her brother's wrist at the turn of events, a laugh bubbling in her throat to spill out, a woman of good humour today it seemed, fingers touch to the skin on his hand by msitake though, and her hand pulls back as if burnt. "Interesting company you travel with...."

[Razor ] *The hedge where Wolf crashed through is already starting to close up, obliterating the passage he made there.

[Razor ] -that everyone? I can only see 4 posts at a time on my screen

Raghnall still stands in the back of the group. Watching them ever so quitely. While he spouts off about mazes, old men and foxes and how they're all just just to make his life miserable. He Sighs and checks himself over for almost the third time to make sure he has all the dirt and dust and leaves and whatever else decided to stick to him, brushed off. He also checks his spear over. Making sure its atleast in useable shape. He shakes himself slightly and plants the spear again, leaning it again his side. His ...cleaning and repairs ...make him totally miss Wolf running through the hedge. He has a pass thought about there being more people around but dismisses it just as quickly. If there was theyd still be here. This ...damnable... place wont let you out That easy.

Wolftooth sails through one hedge only to lodge in another. His hands drop dejectedly, and the others may be able to hear a grumbling string of curses in orcish. At length, he manages to pry himself loose yet again, stopping to look around. Funny ... he could've swore he saw something. For now he bends low to the ground and looks to see what dried leaves and ground can tell him.

MorgenMorgensson 's raection is immediate, turnng to look at Vivi with a broad smile on his face. He cant be angry aroiund her for long. His dear sister's laugh always lifts his spirits. He turns to look at the hedge again, wondering what the odd looking man is doing. He hasnt decided about these people yet. They bring fell looking men and warcats. He's not certain they do not also bring harm. But in deference to his twin's wishes, he'll back down

[Razor ] two hours w/o croaking then i do it big time... i can see Rag's post onwards..was there anything after i asked if everyone reacted?

[Kaelie ] Nope, that's pretty much it :)

[Razor ] umm what did i roll or didnt they come up?

[Razor ] sorry about that guys...

[Wolftooth ] ((You rolled a 2 ...))

[Razor ] posts from Lin and Kae then me..then Ver Morgen Viv Rag Wolf and back to kae and Lin again.

Linsida walks back over to Alfred and remounts him, she looks at Verhowain. "Kind sir of the land, do you think there is away to get Alfread and myself though this brush without tareing like a wild animal." as she blinks down at Razor. "Presant company excutled."

[Kaelie ] "Hell.. WOLF! You damn fool the wall's closing behind you!" She mutters another curse and looks to her present companions. "Well, any suggestions on how to get across to him, or shall we leave him there to his own fate?"

Razor suddnely pulls free of Ver's light touch on her back, muscles bunching as she charges towards Morgen and Viv or so it seems. She 's near the one wall of the hedge, knocking down leaves as she scrapes against it. Leaping when she's almost on Morgen..she doest go at him though, but behind him where something shimmers like light reflecting off a pool. Something long and tenticle like emerges from it, just before Razor slams into it. She vanishes into the shimmering wall with a dull thud of her colliding with something soon heard. Barely is she seen now, looking more like a reflection on a pool through ..something..blurred as she goes sliding sideways down the passage.

Verhowain doesn't answer Lin, oh no he's had a hand on Razor feeling her tense. instead of speaking he readies his cudgel, the words to Shillelagh on the tip of his tongue... When she bolts he's on her heels... He raises his cudgel and bellows like a mad man, the words to the spell tumbling out as he charges after Razor. An animal is in battle and he is not slow it's hip hip hip and away he goes!

[Razor ] -ps..whats there is visiable for a moment...It resembles a emacitated panther with blue-black fur, six legs and a body thats nothing but muscle and bone. A pair of tenticles sprout from its shoulders and end in thorny-ridged pads...its the size of a tiger , about 9ft long and weighs roughly 500 lbs =P say hello to our special guest! Mr Displacer beast!

[Razor ] -thats if you look you see that for about a second or two.

MorgenMorgensson reacts almost instantly, his shield coming up to fend off the charging cat, putting himselgf beetween it and Vivi without even thinking about it. He has his shield out, she rarely fights with one. Seemingly he'll protect her against anything and all comers. His hand goes to his sword, the great blade sinbging in joy at the prospect of gorging itself on blood again

[Wolftooth ] ((Hello, Mr. Beast! It's 4 am! x_X))

[Razor ] -morgan can add to his post since i was late in posting that little extra there..

[Raghnall ] (((Hey'lo new displacer Cloak. ;) )))

[Razor ] -note Razor is still in teh same passage with you..just this big thing is now between you and her

Vivican turns on her heels as the beast goes past, the honed reactions of a fighter bringing both the lightening bolt enlaid blade and a vicious hand axe out into either hand, her back pressing against Morgen's. Old habits, battle ready and together. Confusion on her face but she was ready to hit out at the phasing enemy "Another fine mess, Morgen l-" Her tongue bitten, the smile of the battle willing fading a moment "My brother."

[Razor ] -for those slow ones..(like he of the eternal whispers) Razor is about 50ft away.this thing about 20..its behind Rag who is behind Viv and Morgen..Ver charging..Lin and Kae behind them and wolf in never never land.

[Razor ] -please remember the passage is only 10ft wide and 15ft high when your moving your characters. we're going 30 min more roughly so that will atleast get you into position.

Raghnall blinks and almost squawks as Razor almost charges his way before veering off into .... He gasp as he sees the bluish-black tentacles. He drops his spear down into both hands, almost like he's going to attack the thing, ....but then it seems he thinks better of it as he digs into on one his belt pouches. It looks like ....a ...pen. He then goes about writing something on his arm.

Wolftooth can hear the sounds of combat ... back behind him. "Gyuurgh!" he growls in frustration, turning and looking back at the hedge wall which has already sewn itself shut behind him. Instead of go back through where he did the first time, he chooses to move his way down the passage he's in a short ways in order to get closer to near where he can hear Razor having her fun, and charging through the bushes there, hoping not to run into anybody on the other side. He makes sure to yell plenty loud to let the others know he's coming ...

[Wolftooth ] ((*peeks over Rag's shoulder at writing* For a good time, 1-800-Linsida, Priest of Aphrodite ...))

Razor wonders if Wolf counted the letters in Lins name before posting that?

[Kaelie ] ((*dies laughing..* ^.^))

Razor needs a roll wolf d20 strength

[Wolftooth ] ((Guilty. ^_^))

[Raghnall ] (((Har Har =P )))

[Wolftooth ] ((Dodgammit! >.))

[Vivican ] (That'll teach ya)

Raghnall watches the Hedge kick Wolf's ass over that joke! Wohoo! ;)

[Linsida ] "Well I suppose that does it then..." as she puts her hands together and prays softly to the goddess for protectiong and guideness for those around her. (Blessing everyone that she sees, inclueing The three she just met.)

[Razor ] -you got your head and one shoulder stuck there Wolfykins!

[Razor ] -did i mention this little encounter is work an extra 50 1245056n experiance points?

Kaelie 's eyes widen at the momentary glimps of the creature attacking them. She slips from the saddle as quickly as she can hoping the horse doesn't shy too far as she draws her rapier and starts in the direction of the beast; pointedly at tad bit slower than the rest of the group.

Wolftooth plows into the hedge ... and sticks so that all the others can see is a head and shoulder. Looks like he can see the combat, but won't be participating for a bit longer. More orcish grumbling, only louder and fouler this time.

Razor blinks up at Wolf head..he looks like a mounted bear there on the hedge wall.

[Wolftooth ] ((Actually more like a wolf's head, what with his wolfskin cloak ...))

[Razor ] Wolfs got two heads

Verhowain been bellowing and running all this time and swings with his now empowered stick at the beast.

[Razor ] Ver's close enough to it, was going to hit it when one of those tenticles came at him. you can either hit it and get hit..or use it as a dodge and it misses..your choice in your post Ver.

[Razor ] Morgen Viv Lin Kae Wolf Rag Ver again after he does his hit or miss post.

Verhowain alsa is far too concerned with the safety of Razor to think of his own as he rushes to swing, creating a nice sized windstorm with his miss and takes a tentacle for his troubles.

[Razor ] 8 damgage Ver as your propelled down at Razor..now I have to dodge you!

Razor and Ver get tangled up together..anyone say sitting duck?

Razor was mezmerized by the sight of Wolf mounted on the hedge to notice Ver coming at her with added momentum.

MorgenMorgensson keeps his back to Vivi's turning them so that he's facing the beast. In their extensive experience, enemies usually atatck sooner or later, you dont need to chase them, and waste precious energy. He moves forward, but is in no real hurry, making sure that his beloved twin keeps pace behidn him. This is a well oiled machine, a battle tactic they;ve used time and time again to perfect effect

MorgenMorgensson will brb, bloody keyboard again >.

Razor 's working things out with Lin peoples please be patient

Vivican 's catches sight of the peril of their new found comrades, her eyes darkening as she abandons the standard tactic, the need to defend those unable to defend themselves bringing that yell again, the high pitched gutteral thunder of a War Cry as she charges it....Both weapons drawn an ready, she's aiming to distract it from the obvious targets by burying her weapons in it "Get him out of the hedge..We need the strength...." A glance to her brother as she moves.

[MorgenMorgensson ] Qasolejqfhwerighnbwretjytu

[MorgenMorgensson ] ooops >.

Linsida changes her prayer from one of help to one seeking someone to come to their aid, she holds the small sea shell infront of her hand points to the ground near the beast and speaks loudily. "Come!" and with a suddenly flash of light a heyenna appears, seeming nodding to Lindsida and turns to face the beast ready to fight.

Kaelie tries to use the warrior woman's attempt at distracting the creature to her advantage by attempting to flank the thing for a sneak attack.

[Raghnall ] (((ohp, geuss not, damn, =P)))

[Razor ] (side note: light bending glamer surrounds a displacer, making it difficult to determine the ture location. you have a 50€hance of miss more or less..

[Razor ] thats a 1 aint it Rag?? what were you doing?

Razor might change that for play next time though since it might be too hard..she's had one req for a high low..you post higher then me on a d20 you hit basicly..

[Kaelie ] ((Well, can't see it clearly enough, so my sneak attack's already out then. :) ))

Wolftooth isn't quite sure what you'd call it ... escape-artistry or hedge-swimming. Either way, he's wriggling his way through that hedge as best he can to try and reach the other side.

Razor wodners what Wolf and Morgen are up to..

[Razor ] str roll wolfy

[Wolftooth ] ((*squirmy squirmy squirmy ...*))

[Vivican ] ((Wolf, just roll a d20))

[Razor ] -*EG* your my prime target when we play next week if you dont get out Wolf-

[Vivican ] (We can add + 5 in our heads))

Raghnall blinks at the tentacle attacking Verh. Like hes going to take that chance. He sighs slightly at his previous wasted effort, or so he considers it. He then pulls out his dagger and leans his spear against his shaft. He eyes get a slight green tint to them as he glances around his head. Seemingly at thin air. He then reaches up and with two fingers he drags something down and onto of his Dagger. Which he then proceeds to trace out over the side of the blade. An odd symbol flashes over the dagger about the same time as his eyes flash a bright green. He then grabs the dagger by the blade and throws it at the beast. The dagger sailing straight for it. ....At first. It then veers off to one side like someone holding and getting ready to attack the beast upclose. Raghnall stands still. His eyes slightly aglow as he watches the dagger, but otherwise he moves not.

[Razor ] -you cant do all that in one fricking action Rag!

[Raghnall ] uhhh, yes, it all part of a spell, it takes one round to cast,

MorgenMorgensson cant even see Wolf, since he's on the other side of it., But he charges with Vivi> No way she's leaving him behind and chasing glory on her own. They fight together, always have. He howls his wolvenm warcry, barreling into the action behidn her. The silly shrubbery atatcker can get himself out of trouble, after all he got himself in

MorgenMorgensson was arguing that exact point earlier o.O

[Razor ] -right cast 1 round throw 1 round.

[Razor ] -15 Kaelie...miss

[Kaelie ] ((*blinks* Wow..))

[Raghnall ] the dagger isnt attacking

[Razor ] you need a 17 to hit it btw.

[Raghnall ] thats Next round,

[Wolftooth ] ((Don't forget drawing a dagger counts as a move action ... dagger drawing, then casting, then throwing makes 3 actions.))

[Razor ] if you had gotten the 17 you;d of got it

Raghnall notes the WHOLE action waspart of the spell

MorgenMorgensson stabs himself successfully in teh foot O.O :P

[Razor ] *The beast lets out an ungodly noise as the big bad Morgen nails the beast along its flank, exposing muscle and bits of bone..its pissed now..severly so.

[Razor ] Whats your ac flat footed there Wolf? *EG*

Razor 's gonna post the beasts attacks then we're stopping

[Razor ] Ver..roll a d20. your lower then me i get it..your higher then me i get it

[Wolftooth ] ((*winces*))

[Razor ] *tenticles go whipping through the air like ropes whiping in the wind. They lash out violently. One rakes across the hedges, catching Wolf across the shoulder and part of his face (damage to come), the other strikes Razor broadside as she rises from the tangle she's in with Ver.

[Razor ] 8 damage wolf

[Razor ] we're done for the day guys..everyone have fun? Wolf and Razors reactions will come first when we start up..then Lins hyenna and we'll go from there. any comments?

[Verhowain ] YEah the druid in everyone's life needs to learn to hit things with that stick of his! *G*

Raghnall going to go back to jsut making one line post.

[Wolftooth ] ((Stupid fecking one way hedges ... >. Why I oughtta ...))

Kaelie realizes after the fact that her bonus should've been five not three... >.

[Vivican ] ((Learn to roll di? =P))

[Kaelie ] I looked at the wrong thing on my char. sheet... -_-

Razor thought panic gave you incentive Kaelie =P

[Linsida ] Not many, fun, to be here for the happy stuff but sadly the meds her player took are makeing her pass out. -_- ZZZzzzz

[Wolftooth ] ((Okay ... so you guys don't want me adding my bonuses to the dice rolls anymore, right?))

[Razor ] night night then Lin

[Vivican ] ((Just try it...))

Verhowain 's hiing off to bed too, it's nearly 8 am and I no been asleep!

[Vivican ] ((See? It's for your benifit...Unless yuo like the hedge))

[Razor ] you roll twice..once with the bonus added into it like 1d20 +5 then once with out adding it in..i'll add it to the second roll which ever is higher is the one you use

Linsida will be kissing those hurt next game session ;) Night night folks.

[Razor ] so the second of Viv's would be a 16 instead of an 11..higher then her 12

[MorgenMorgensson ] Yeah, they tend to lower the total, for some stupid reason >.

[Kaelie ] Night Lin :)

[Vivican ] ((Everytime really))

Verhowain has no bonus thus it's a mooot point, G'night people..

[Razor ] makes it easier to roll well depending on the teperment of the dice.

[Vivican ] ((Up up and away, Ver))

[Kaelie ] G'night Ver :)

[Verhowain ] When animals are in battle I am not slow it's hip hip hip and a way I go! *G*

[Wolftooth ] ((G'night, all!))

[Razor ] but do you really want me to do that with the monsters? imagine the hit i'd a scored then on Wolfs pretty face and Razors side

[Wolftooth ] ((*blinks* Uhh ... pretty face?))

Razor wants to see Lin heal Wolf...it'll be the highlight of her day next week =P

MorgenMorgensson grins, yup, that'd be something to watch

Wolftooth wants to see that too. Heh!

[Razor ] you gots about 4 'claw' marks on your face and shoulder there Wolf..mgiht have hurt your cloak there too

[Wolftooth ] ((By the way, I'm trying out a new format for Wolfy's character sheet ... care to check it out and tell me what you think?))

[Razor ] As you all might have noticed, i'm a little different from Wolfs dming practices.

[Wolftooth ] Sweet ... another new scar to brag about. "Got this one from a displacer beast while I was stuck in a hedge ..." Hmmm, maybe not.

Wolftooth nods, wide eyed. "Are you ever ... I'm still getting used to the way you do things."

[MorgenMorgensson ] And he had beutiful women laughing at him too :P

[Razor ] could have been worse..you could have been stuck the other way and taken it across the ass!

[Razor ] Course watching Lin heal that would have be much more fun!

[Razor ] I thought i scared you yesterday Wolf with how the other group is =P figured you were afraid to show up today *snickers*

[Wolftooth ] 'And the half-orc said to the healer, "Kiss my @$$!!"' ^_^

Razor now NEEDS some male to take damage across the groin o.O

[Wolftooth ] The other RP from yesterday isn't in a specific system, is it? This was supposed to be D&D, which is why things are still confusing to my brain at times ...

Kaelie 's willing to provide that entertainment.. *EG*
