Group role-play: RP channel log 2

[RP]: (Ordici): It is a hot and windy day near the Nadrak and Drasnian borders. Qethia, leading Briana, and Ordici are attempting to take Saldris to the Nadrak border for a Prisoner exchange. All of the sudden, a Murgo pops out of the forest to the left of the group.
[RP]: Briana draws her sword.
[RP]: (Qethia): Qethia draws her sword with her left hand, dagger in her right.
[RP]: Ordici draws his sword and stands between the prisoner Saldris and the horse.
[RP]: (Qethia): 'State your business, Murgo!'
[RP]: Briana looks the Murgo up and down, a sneer on her face.
[RP]: Briana says 'Did you not hear the question, Murgo?'
[RP]: Anedhel says 'I was sent to look for you. Some soldiers told me I would find you here.'
[RP]: Anedhel looks Saldris up and down and smile at him.
[RP]: Anedhel says 'I wouldn't trade all the gold in the mines of Cthol Murgos to be in your shoes, traitor.'
[RP]: Saldris turns ashen faced and began to tremble.
[RP]: Qethia says 'You realize the danger you're in, don't you?'
[RP]: Briana looks at Saldris, chuckling to herself at his cowardice.
[RP]: Anedhel says 'No.'
[RP]: Qethia says 'So, lead us to the arranged exchange site.'
[RP]: Ordici says 'Of course you wouldn't, Murgo Dog. He is for the midden heap when the Angarak Army hears what he has said to us.'
[RP]: Briana says 'He certainly won't enjoy his homecoming I'm sure.'
[RP]: Ordici says 'But I wish I could watch.'
[RP]: Briana grins.
[RP]: Saldris whimpers.
[RP]: Anedhel says 'Ok, I will lead you.'
[RP]: Briana says 'The sooner the better to get rid of this dog and get our friend back. Lead on.'
[RP]: Qethia says 'Everyone armed and ready?'
[RP]: Briana nods Qethia.
[RP]: Anedhel leads the group to the arranged exchange site.
[RP]: Saldris says 'I'll offer you gold, Adventurers... Anything! Don't send me back please!'
[RP]: Qethia says 'We don't really know what we're in for. A little precaution won't hurt.'
[RP]: Ordici looks hurt as he replies, 'I am always armed and ready Qethia!'
[RP]: Qethia ruffles Ordici's hair playfully.
[RP]: Briana laughs mercilessly at Saldris.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Let's get going Murgo, before I decide to skewer you!'
[RP]: (Qethia): Qethia follows closely behind the Murgo, her dagger at the small of his back.
[RP]: Briana looks up at the darkening skies.
[RP]: (Maochro): Meanwhile, a few minutes away from where the rescue team was, Maochro begins to give up any hope of ever being rescued.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Hey guys. I hear something everybody stop now!'
[RP]: Briana says 'Smells like rain. Can we hurry this along before we all get soaked?'
[RP]: Anedhel stops.
[RP]: Anedhel says 'What is it?'
[RP]: (Maochro): As soon as he gives up hope, he sees several familiar faces across the rise of the hill.
[RP]: Briana comes to a sudden halt.
[RP]: Ordici says 'I hear horses. A lot of them. Let me go ahead and scout.'
[RP]: Briana says 'Be careful, love.'
[RP]: Briana says 'It could be an ambush.'
[RP]: (Qethia): A few faint torches come into view as they rounded a turn in the path.
[RP]: Maochro struggles with the ropes that bind his hands and a soldier raps him across the face and bellows, "No trying to escape!"
[RP]: (Ordici): Ordici crawls on his belly up to the rise of the hill to take a look. When he gets to the small peak he cautiously looks over the rise and sees a group of 20 soldiers, and Maochro at the Drasnian Checkpoint.
[RP]: Saldris looks around frantically.
[RP]: Briana paces nervously, waiting for Ordici's return.
[RP]: (Ordici): Ordici makes his way back down the hill on his stomach and then when Briana touches his leg. He just about jumps out of his boots.
[RP]: Briana says 'Sorry love, I was worried.'
[RP]: Qethia says 'Let's get this over with, then.'
[RP]: Briana says 'I didn't mean to startle you.'
[RP]: Briana says 'Did you see Maochro? Is he ok?'
[RP]: Ordici says 'Ok. We have a group of about 10 soldiers. Maochro is in the middle. (Grins) He looks like he is inventing swear words on the spot.'
[RP]: Briana laughs.
[RP]: Briana says 'Sounds like our Mao.'
[RP]: Maochro sighs and mutters something. The soldier pull out his dagger and slashes Maochro's arm. The soldier says, "No muttering!" Maochro notices his bleeding arm. He notices the dagger didn't go too deep.
[RP]: Ordici says 'They are just lollygagging around and I think the way to the gate is clear.'
[RP]: Qethia strides forward to meet the soldiers with the Murgo in front and the rest of the group following.
[RP]: Anedhel glances at Briana and dries his mouth.
[RP]: Briana keeps her sword at the ready, palms sweating a bit.
[RP]: Qethia confronts the group of soldiers.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Well, Qethia, what do you think? Should we go over the hill?'
[RP]: Qethia says 'Who's in charge?'
[RP]: Saldris struggles in his bonds.
[RP]: (Jhelya): Ordici nearly jumps out of his skin as a hand touches his shoulder and a familiar voice whispers in his ear.
[RP]: Ordici laughs at Saldris mercilessly.
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Need some help?'
[RP]: Qethia says 'You have our man, Maochro. Release him immediately, if you value your skins.'
[RP]: Jhelya smiles at Ordici.
[RP]: Briana jumps, startled at Jhelya's appearance.
[RP]: Ordici says 'What!! Jhelya! It is so good to see you. We are taking Saldris to be exchanged for Maochro.'
[RP]: Jhelya looks at Qethia, her mouth dropping.
[RP]: Maochro hears Qethia's voice but he can't see her. He feels weakened.
[RP]: Jhelya grabs her dagger from her side.
[RP]: Saldris glances at Jhelya and turns white in the face again.
[RP]: Briana says 'Good timing, Jhelya.'
[RP]: (Qethia): The soldiers snicker at Qethia's bravado.
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Let's get Maochro back then.'
[RP]: Briana glares at the scum holding Maochro hostage.
[RP]: Jhelya looks over at the soldiers, and laughs out loud.
[RP]: Saldris says 'I'm not worth much guys trust me.... let me go please...'
[RP]: Ordici says 'But he is worth a lot to us. (points to Maochro)'
[RP]: Briana says 'Quit your bellyaching already dog.'
[RP]: (Qethia): The oldest looking of the Angaraks steps forward, dagger in hand.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Not one more step. Or Saldris gets it.'
[RP]: Jhelya looks at Saldris. 'How do you fit in, I wonder?'
[RP]: Anedhel raises his sword and points it at Saldris.
[RP]: (Maochro): A soldier takes Maochro away from the ones trying to save him.
[RP]: Saldris says 'They don't care whether I die or not Adventurer.'
[RP]: Ordici says to the guard 'We are here for a lovely exchange. Can we have our friend back please?'
[RP]: Saldris trembles as he sees the guards approaching.
[RP]: Briana steps forward, next to Ordici, sword raised in support.
[RP]: Qethia says 'Is there some misunderstanding? Hand over your prisoner immediately!'
[RP]: (Maochro): The soldier takes Maochro toward a tree. Maochro is dragged there.
[RP]: (Jhelya): Tension rises as the guards begin to pull weapons from scabbards
[RP]: Anedhel runs like a sheep back home, hoping to not encounter the one they call "Erepitus"!
[RP]: Briana looks around nervously, the hairs rising on the back of her neck.
[RP]: (Jhelya): One of the guards, apparently the leader steps forward
[RP]: Ordici says 'Now, let's not get touchy here friends. We got what you want, you got what we want.'
[RP]: Briana says 'Nobody has to die here today, let's just get on with the exchange.'
[RP]: (Jhelya): The Veteran Guard looks amused. 'We outnumber you fool. How do you plan to win his freedom, with such as you have?'
[RP]: (Qethia): The Angarak leader lunges at Qethia, sword flashing in the moonlight.
[RP]: Jhelya says 'This is your fight Ordici, I will follow your lead, but if they do not hand over Mao, shortly I will become vexed, and well, you know how I get.'
[RP]: (Qethia): Qethia swung her dagger across his neck, leaving a gaping, bloody wound.
[RP]: Briana jumps to Qethia's side, lunging at the Angarak.
[RP]: (Maochro): The soldier forces Maochro to climb a ladder leaning on the tree at sword point.
[RP]: Saldris hisses to Ordici, 'Told you I'm not worth much.'
[RP]: Briana jumps back as the Angarak's slash grazes her skin.
[RP]: (Qethia): As Briana finished off the Angarak, Qethia ran quickly to Maochro.
[RP]: (Jhelya): Ordici slips behind a group of trees and attempts to make his way to Maochro.
[RP]: Briana drop lows, sweeping the legs of the Angarak, dropping him to the ground.
[RP]: (Malrevon): Angered by the death of one of their comrades, the soldiers rush the Westerners.
[RP]: Jhelya crouches low and heads off opposite of Ordici looking for the right opportunity.
[RP]: Briana holds a sword at the leaders throat looking at the men around here.
[RP]: (Qethia): Qethia's weapon skewered the soldier guarding Maochro, then motioned for him to climb down from the tree.
[RP]: Briana says 'Stop now, or he dies!'
[RP]: Jhelya laughs to herself as the adrenaline flows through her veins.
[RP]: (Malrevon): The soldiers leer. 'If he can fall into your hands he is not our leader... he's a weakling!' hoots one of the soldiers derisively.
[RP]: (Ordici): The fighting stops as everyone sees that Briana has a dagger to the leaders through.
[RP]: Saldris glances at the blades at his throat and gives a huge swallow.
[RP]: (Maochro): A soldier sneaks up behind Qethia and raps her on her head with the hilt of his sword, knocking her to the ground.
[RP]: Briana presses her sword in to the neck of the leader, causing blood to trickle from it.
[RP]: Ordici cuts the bonds to Maochro free as the soldiers' attentions are elsewhere.
[RP]: Jhelya seeing her chance slips her dagger between the soldiers ribs, angling slightly up towards his lungs
[RP]: Maochro looks up at Ordici, chuckles, and faints.
[RP]: Ordici whispers Mao, here's a dagger, let's hit them from behind. Jhelya is going to flank them.
[RP]: Briana says 'what do you say gentlemen, does he live or die?'
[RP]: Briana glances at the Angaraks.
[RP]: Qethia rolled over quickly and sprang to her feet.
[RP]: (Malrevon): They snicker, far too confident of themselves. 'He can die...'
[RP]: Briana says 'Have it your way, you're next.'
[RP]: (Ordici): The soldiers turn around as Maochro and Ordici come in and attack from the rear giving Qethia and Briana the opening they were waiting for.'
[RP]: (Malrevon): The former leader's eyes widen. 'Please, no!'
[RP]: (Jhelya): 'Arghhhhhh...' screams the guard his voice is cut off by a gurgle of blood.
[RP]: Briana says 'Tell your men to back off then.'
[RP]: (Malrevon): The man's eyes roll in fear. 'They won't listen! You heard them!'
[RP]: Briana says 'Too late.'
[RP]: Maochro wakes up, but is weak.
[RP]: Briana slashes his throat, and lunges into the fray
[RP]: (Malrevon): With practiced moves, the soldiers draw their swords and form a tight circle.
[RP]: Ordici says 'we are attacking form the rear.. and then he wakes up.'
[RP]: (Malrevon): The man collapses onto the ground, clutching at his throat.
[RP]: Maochro sees the dagger and grabs the hilt.
[RP]: (Jhelya): As Jhelya looks to the men before her, she feels the presence behind her, and barely manages to avoid being skewered. The sword however did put a very nice gash in her side
[RP]: Qethia parries her enemy's sword thrusts deftly, then slides her dagger under his ribs.
[RP]: Maochro jumps onto the back of a Murgo, and stabs him.
[RP]: (Ordici): Now the odds are even as five guards have died. Five on five.
[RP]: (Saldris): Making use of the chaos, Saldris frees himself.
[RP]: Briana parries the first attack, but the second, takes her in the side, causing her to snarl in pain and rage
[RP]: Jhelya grabs at her side as she sidesteps the calculated attack of the soldier
[RP]: Ordici throws his dagger in an Underhand cast that takes a soldier in the neck. He then draws his shortsword.
[RP]: (Malrevon): The soldiers begin to become a bit nervous, but their sword's reach are to their advantage compared to some of their opponent's daggers.
[RP]: (Maochro): A soldier says, "Ha! Look again! The one we took hostage is dying. He's lost a lot of blood."
[RP]: Qethia turns to assist Briana.
[RP]: Saldris grabs a horse from a fallen guard and rides away hurriedly from the mayhem.
[RP]: Jhelya tries to make sense of her opponents fighting style - it seems different somehow.
[RP]: Briana, ignoring the pain, stumbles at her opponent, slashing wildly, when she sees Qethia coming to aid her.
[RP]: Ordici is swept up and is lying on the ground. His opponent is smirking at him as he levels his sword at Ordici's throat.
[RP]: Briana says 'Ordici!! NO!!!'
[RP]: Maochro falls onto one knee.
[RP]: (Qethia): The Angarak, facing two skilled opponents, turned to flee into the woods.
[RP]: Saldris glances behind and mutters, 'Fools.'
[RP]: (Jhelya): Chaos reigns in the clearing, several groans escape the lips of the several wounded.
[RP]: (Malrevon): The smirking soldier pulls up Ordici, his blade at his throat. He backs up against a tree.
[RP]: Briana leaving Qethia to deal with her attacker she runs to her love's side, like a bear protecting her cub.
[RP]: Maochro throws his dagger at Ordici's attacker. It lands in his neck.
[RP]: Maochro falls.
[RP]: Briana runs him through as Mao's dagger hits him in the next.
[RP]: Briana says 'Ordici, speak to me. Are you ok love?'
[RP]: Jhelya steps forward inside of a wild swing, feeling her blade sink deep into her assailant's throat.
[RP]: (Ordici): Preparing to die, Ordici whispers Briana's name. All of the sudden, the soldier falls on top of Ordici.
[RP]: Briana drags the body off Ordici.
[RP]: Briana says 'Stay with me love.'
[RP]: (Jhelya): Their nerve resolving the soldiers left begin to look around for an escape route.
[RP]: Qethia hurries to Maochro's side.
[RP]: Ordici looks up at the sun behind Briana and says 'Briana. You're not dead too. Please tell me they didn't get you too.'
[RP]: (Qethia): Maochro's wounds were deep and bloody, but not mortal.
[RP]: (Maochro): As the bloods dribbles out of his arm, Maochro's life dribbles away.
[RP]: Briana Clutching her bleeding side, she stands over Ordici, her sword ready and waiting for the next rush, but none comes.
[RP]: (Jhelya): Jhelya quickly heads toward Maochro, kneeling at his side
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Maochro, listen to me.'
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Hang on.'
[RP]: Maochro hears a voice telling him to hang on. He attempts to.
[RP]: (Ordici): The 2 remaining soldiers run off screaming in terror. Maochro is being attended to by Jhelya and Qethia and Briana keep watch.
[RP]: Jhelya digs through the pouch at her side "Get me some water quick!"
[RP]: Qethia quickly tears several long strips from her cloak and wraps Maochro's injuries.
[RP]: Briana kneels next to Ordici, cradling his head in her lap.
[RP]: Ordici hands Jehlya his canteeen.
[RP]: Briana says 'Are you alright love?'
[RP]: Jhelya finding what she needs she pulled forth some strange looking leafs.
[RP]: Ordici says 'I think so.'
[RP]: Qethia says 'Look at me, Mao! Can you stand?'
[RP]: Ordici wraps his arms around Briana in a warm and loving embrace.
[RP]: Briana lets out a sigh of relief.
[RP]: Jhelya taking the canteen she looks up at Ordice. 'Boil some water quickly. Now!'
[RP]: Maochro hears a voice but he can't figure out what it's saying.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Briana tend to the fire. I will look at your side in a second.'
[RP]: Jhelya pours a little water on Maochos lips
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Hang in there, Mao. Don't you dare DIE!'
[RP]: Qethia says 'There'll be reinforcements soon. We must move on, quickly.'
[RP]: Briana clutching her side, works at building a fire as the blood continues to flow down her side.
[RP]: Briana get to her feet, but stumbles, feeling dizzy and light-headed.
[RP]: Qethia says 'No time for that. Ordici and Jhelya, get Mao on a horse and let's make tracks.'
[RP]: Briana says 'Let's go, I can't go another round.'
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Ohh Maochro is hurt. Soldiers ran off trying to get him, gone before reinforcements...'
[RP]: Jhelya stands and looks Qethia in the eyes.
[RP]: Jhelya says 'If you move him he will die.'
[RP]: Qethia says 'If I don't move him, we all die.'
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Hold of all of the Angaraks in the world if you have to.'
[RP]: (Ordici): Ordici goes to the top of the hill to scout. He looks over it and sees nothing coming their way.
[RP]: Briana clutches at her side, but gets her sword readied to fight again.
[RP]: Malrevon hears some voices coming from somewhere behind a hill, and nudges his horse towards it, cloaking himself in an illusion.
[RP]: Ordici says Nothing coming from here. Hurry up and heal him.
[RP]: Jhelya goes over to the fire and pulls out a metal cup from her pack, puts the leaves and some water in the cup and sets it on the fire
[RP]: Maochro moves his hand to his waist.
[RP]: Qethia joins Ordici on lookout for more trouble from the Angaraks.
[RP]: Malrevon blinks at the sight of some Westerners, some injured. A Drasnian man is bleeding badly. He stops his horse.
[RP]: (Jhelya): As the water begins to steam she pulls the cup from the fire ignoring the pain in her hand and returns to Maochro
[RP]: Briana leans heavily on her sword, blood loss making her weaker, she calls out for Ordici.
[RP]: Maochro utters the words, "Hand me my sword."
[RP]: Malrevon senses soldiers coming in from his right, and sighs, turning his horse in that direction and kicking it into a gallop.
[RP]: Briana says 'Help me on my horse.'
[RP]: Jhelya bends down pulling Maochro to her lap.
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Drink this, Mao, it will help.'
[RP]: Ordici runs to Briana and catches her as she falls. Ordici then starts to tend to the wound on her side.
[RP]: Jhelya puts the cup to Machro's lips.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Come Briana. Hang in there we are almost out of here my love.'
[RP]: Briana smiles up at Ordici, nodding.
[RP]: (Malrevon): The reinforcements freeze at the sound of a horse galloping, but they see no one.
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Mao, drink.'
[RP]: Briana says 'I can make it back, let's get out of here.'
[RP]: Maochro drinks.
[RP]: Malrevon glances over his shoulder to make sure the Westerners cannot see him, and drops the illusion.
[RP]: Qethia walks over to where Mao is lying on the ground next to Jhelya.
[RP]: Maochro says coughs and utters the words, "Hand me my sword."
[RP]: (Ordici): Getting his travel kit Ordici pulls some field bandages out of his kit and tightly applies it around Briana's stomach, protecting her side and applying pressure.
[RP]: Qethia says 'Can he be moved?'
[RP]: (Jhelya): the leaf's effects are felt almost immediately Maochro feels strength returning to his legs.
[RP]: (Malrevon): They stare at the man who suddenly appears out of nowhere.
[RP]: Jhelya nods to Qethia, gently.
[RP]: Malrevon smiles wryly. 'What business do you have, soldiers?'
[RP]: Ordici says 'Healing our friends then we are getting the hell out of here.'
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Can you hear me Maochro?'
[RP]: Maochro begins to feel strength return and utters the words, "Hand me my sword."
[RP]: (Malrevon): The soldiers bow. 'We have some Westerners who attacked us, sir. Some of them can be used as valuable hostages, for a clan called "Adventurers".'
[RP]: Jhelya looks behind her and sighs.
[RP]: Ordici helps Briana to her feet as she leans on him for support.
[RP]: Jhelya says 'get up, you fool! This isn't the place for heroes.'
[RP]: Jhelya looks for Maochro's sword.
[RP]: Maochro says 'I want my sword. Tell Ordici to give me back my sword!'
[RP]: Malrevon raises his eyebrows. 'Ah, so those are the Westerners I came across. Too late...' He flashes his most intimidating smile at them. 'They're dead.'
[RP]: Qethia shook her head. 'I knew we'd have company.'
[RP]: Jhelya looks at Qethia.
[RP]: (Malrevon): The soldiers pale but bow again.
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Get this fool to his feet, I want to go look at something.'
[RP]: Briana leans heavily on Ordici as he helps her on her horse, making sure her hands on strong on the pommel.
[RP]: Jhelya heads at a sprint towards the direction that she heard the hooves.
[RP]: Malrevon pretends to consider something, and waves at them. 'Go back. I'll investigate this... "clan" myself.'
[RP]: (Briana): Ordici looks up at Briana, reassuring himself she can stay on her horse before going to mount his own.
[RP]: (Malrevon): The soldiers leave hurriedly in the direction they came from, eager to get away from the Grolim.
[RP]: Briana says 'Let's get out of here, the sooner the better.'
[RP]: (Jhelya): as Jhelya makes her way over a small rise, she sees the soldiers talking to a man on a horse.
[RP]: Malrevon watches them march away with a half-smile.
[RP]: Briana says 'Someone grab Maochro's sword for him.'
[RP]: Briana says 'Then let's leave this place before I bleed to death.'
[RP]: Ordici says 'ok you right in front of me then ok. I will hold youup ok?'
[RP]: Jhelya notices the way the soldiers fell over each other bowing at the man. Who could he be?
[RP]: Malrevon swings his horse around and shuts his eyes, spreading his awareness around to check that no more soldiers are headed this way.
[RP]: Jhelya sees the man turning towards her and ducks below the rise.
[RP]: Briana leans down from her horse, grabbing Mao's sword from Ordici and tossing it to him.
[RP]: Jhelya peers over the rise again looking at the man.
[RP]: Malrevon starts at the presence of a woman... another Drasnian. 'Hello.'
[RP]: Briana says 'Can we go now, love?'
[RP]: Maochro grabs his sword and says, "Let's go." Maochro stands up and walks to a horse and mounts it.
[RP]: Jhelya didn't know why, but she was not afraid that he would turn her in to the soldiers.
[RP]: (Ordici): Ordici Briana and Maochro and Qethia leave for boktor. Jhelya shook her head at their asking her to join them.
[RP]: Jhelya stands up and walks over the rise towards the Man.
[RP]: Malrevon cocks his head. 'I think your companions are getting ready to leave.'
[RP]: Jhelya says 'You have some power among them I see.'
[RP]: Jhelya looks over her shoulder.
[RP]: Malrevon half-smiles again. 'A Grolim does, yes.'
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Probably. I am not so easily frightened off however.'
[RP]: Jhelya smiles at the man.
[RP]: Malrevon raises an eyebrow. 'And why would I want to frighten you off?'
[RP]: Jhelya shrugs indifferently at the man
[RP]: Jhelya says 'Why did you run the guards off?'
[RP]: Jhelya looks eagerly at the man on the horse.
[RP]: Malrevon shrugs. 'Because I don't want you and your friends to get slaughtered, perhaps?'
[RP]: Jhelya smiles evilly at him. 'It appeared as if we had the upper hand.'
[RP]: Jhelya says 'But for whatever reason, I thank you.'
[RP]: Malrevon shrugs again. 'If you did then I wouldn't want my kinsmen to be killed. And it's not a problem.' He smiles at her.
[RP]: Malrevon asks 'How did you find me, by the way?'
[RP]: Jhelya says 'I have a knack. Besides, even if you are shielded by magic, you should really learn a way to quiet your horse's hooves.'
[RP]: Malrevon starts, and laughs softly. 'Ah yes... I always forget.'
[RP]: Jhelya says 'I suppose this is where we will part. I am sure we will meet again.'
[RP]: Jhelya looks at the man.
[RP]: Malrevon inclines his head politely. 'I'm sure we will. Good luck in your travels.'
[RP]: Jhelya smiles wearily. 'To you as well.'
[RP]: Malrevon gives her a friendly wave. 'Fare well.' He nudges his horse into a trot after the soldiers.
[RP]: Jhelya watches the man ride off.
