Callith sighs as he walk through, the castles doors, and into the royal chamber, he nods to Moathia who decided to stay, and walks up to the kings in full elven battle armour, and his two swords hanging from his belt, he has a bandage around his neck, and doesn't look well at all. "You called sirs?"

Sevious Helios · Post by **Sevious Helios** » Sat Jun 07, 2003 12:57 am

"Yes we called. We need to speak somethings of tactics with you. First of all we need to know how many elves are in your army and how where do you plan to put them? Our walls our old but they stand high. Perhaps you could put your archers up there. Tell us what you think Sir Callith.", King Sirean says gazing at Callith.

Callith · Post by **Callith** » Sat Jun 07, 2003 1:05 am

" Two thousand elves, all of them, are expert archers and three quaters can are expert swordsmen. of course fiftey are Moathia's personal gaurd, and they will stay with her, so it's up to you lords, if you need more archers or swordsmen." He tells them, as he walks over to them, and pulls up a seat sitting next to the kings.

Sevious Helios · Post by **Sevious Helios** » Sat Jun 07, 2003 1:49 am

"Well we will be fine. We ourselves have almost already over seven thousand men, trained and ready to go up against this 'killer' army of Kalamon. We've already appointed a general. His name is Sir Sevious Helios if you know him. Perhaps you should talk to him about what he needs. We just called you in here for strategy. Not actual war...he is asleep in his room. If you want to speak to him wait for him to wake up. We'll keep talking though. Our men are trained in sword fighting, some of them are going to be riding on the available horses we have. The others will be foot soldiers on the ground standing in front of the wall.", King SIrean says.......

" Your going to engage an enemy, of 31, 000 with 8000, on an open field, your crazy, your people have never fought these orceans, you don't have a chance. Do you know if Kalamon is bringing seige weapons? Or is he counting on you doing somthing stupid like this?" Callith asks.

Armil Darken · Post by **Armil Darken** » Sat Jun 07, 2003 3:59 am

Armil Walks up to the doors of the kings hall, and waits for Sevious, and telling one of the gaurds to inform that he is there waiting. ((When are you going to finally meet me.))

Sevious Helios · Post by **Sevious Helios** » Sat Jun 07, 2003 7:01 pm

Sevious finally wakes up from a long nap and stretches. He peers out the window as it dawns towards the afternoon. The storm seems to be coming in. Sevious climbs out of bed and heads over towards the door. Outside just as he opens the door up a guard approaches. "Sevious, an elf is here to speak with you.", the guard says. Sevious nods. "In the throne room.", the guard says again. Sevious walks down towards the thrown room and into the room. He smiles warmly to Moathia and then sees Armil Darken. He approaches him. "You called?", Sevious asks.

"My men, are skilled in the art of war. Why would you question are strategy? It most certainly will do. And scouts show it that there will be seige weapons. What is a good army without siege weapons?", King Sirean says. "Now we have thought this over carefully. There are not enough spaces up on the wall where all men and elves can stand along with dwarves...", King Prean says. "Aye...my dwarven soldiers are better in open field combat anyway.", King Shezar says.

Armil Darken · Post by **Armil Darken** » Sat Jun 07, 2003 8:53 pm

Armil goes up to sevious ad says, "Good to see you, I wish it was under better circumstances, but the battle seems soon to come, I wish I could have brought men. And, I'm well equipped, my armour is from my elven home, I saved the relics and magical items, and this will be the first time i get to use them, they are superior armour. And, I wanted to show you this sword, I made, infused with diamond in the blade, never been used before, Armil looks down and says "Where's your sword?"

Sevious Helios · Post by **Sevious Helios** » Sat Jun 07, 2003 10:22 pm

"It's put up...", Sevious says gazing back over at Moathia. "The sword I'm going to use is more powerful than that one I'm sure...It was used by the hero thirteen years ago to slay Kalamon....and now I get to use it...", Sevious says. "It's called the Wrym's tooth. It has some connection with whatever is with in me...I have no idea how to control the energy in me at all...", Sevious says again. "You'll see it soon enough....Kalamon is almost less then about a day and a half away...he's getting closer...and so is that storm above us...", Sevious says again trailing off.

Malinne · Post by **Malinne** » Sun Jun 08, 2003 10:00 am

Malinne walks to what used to be her favorite fishing spot in a heavy black cloak with the hood shielding her eyes now sensitive to the sun. She wonders if she will ever get that letter from Armil, though somehow it now seems ever so slightly a petty thought to her. She tries hard to remember how it felt so significant to her. Not remembering the feeling, she changes her thoughts and wonders how they are doing, and what Armil will think when he comes back to find that she is no longer the same person, or a person at all...

She watches the waves roll, still finding pleasure in the oceans beauty, no matter how much the reflected light burns her eyes. She still waits for something that happens to remain important in her mind.

Callith · Post by **Callith** » Sun Jun 08, 2003 7:09 pm

" I question your strargey, because we are out number, at just over three orceans to one of ours, now he have many good men fighting, and I can assure you each one of my elves will take down their three, but you have seen the Kanglingers they are riding, they count for three men each, and thats only if they are three very good fighters, at least on a wall, they can't bring them into play." Callith tells then, before stepping down, and walking out of the main hall.

Sevious Helios · Post by **Sevious Helios** » Mon Jun 09, 2003 3:43 am

"Oh well....anyway...we must hurry...I sense Kalamon is coming.", King Sirean says. Sevious looks around past Armil and sees guards peering around as something begins to happen. Abose Thaisis thunder rolls in and rain begins to hit the roof. "It's coming...", Sevious says worriedly. "Aye indeed it is Sevious...", King Prean says. Suddenly a man bursts through the door at the end of the hallway soaking wet with blood running down his body. "Sir...my scout group was killed...about a day away...Kalamon is coming...He'll be here by morning!", the man says falling to the ground dead as several guards run over to help him.

"Oh no....", King Sirean says. "Sevious! Get the men to their positions! Set up wooden shields around the front lines! We must get our men on the field before Kalamon arrives! Hurry! Set up the catapults as well along the back of the wall. We must hurry here!", King Sirean shouts at Sevious. Sevious looks up at him and nods. "Can I have the Wrym's tooth too?", Sevious asks. "Aye you can...", a guard says walking up to him with the sword. He sets it in his hands and smiles. "Let this serve you well like it did to Sir Edron...you will need all the luck commander.", the guard says bowing down to Sevious. Sevious looks around as all the other guards bow their heads in respect. "Sevious...this is your hour to shine! Now get your men out there!", King Sirean says.

Sevious nods and runs out of the court room. He emerges into the court yard as the rain falls down and hits his armor leaving a clank sound. He finds a horse and runs up to it. He quickly hops up on it's back and kicks it's back. "Yah!", he says shouting. The horse neighs and rushes off into town. "All citizens! Head to your homes! Lock up your doors! Kalamon is coming! OUr hour of darkness is upon us. It is time that you keep bravery in your hearts and hope for the better! For there is always hope! All capable and armed soldiers head outside towards the north wall! All men! Move out!", Sevious says shouting repeatedly. Citizens begin to grow scared as they head for their homes. The knights and soldiers begin to assemble near the gates and start to march out in formation. Human archers run up onto the walls and over towards the North wall as they prepare for the battle ahead of them....

veralion · Post by **veralion** » Tue Jun 10, 2003 7:03 pm

Veralion walks to the highest point in the port area of the Bloodskull island. A long grey cloak swings and drags behind him and his chain and splint mail armor shimmer in the sunlight.

"Attention! Give me your ears Bloodskulls and others! Within the next few hours, we set sail. I am not forcing you to come, but I do strongly urge you to accompany me on this mission...for we need all we can get. We go to save all of the lands in this world...and the people in it. We go to aid our friends as well."
Veralion points to the few hundred goblins that survived and escaped and fled to the island.
"Goblins, you have seen Kalamons wrath on your homes and empire. I am sure you do not wish for your blood and struggle to go in vain! I have givin you aid here, now I ask you to aid me, the bloodskulls, and our friends there!"
Veralion turns to where he sees all who has gathered in the rally. Most of the kingdom is present, and it grows to a slow silence. Clouds from a storm brewing flow in.
"Everyone! Let us make a name of ourselves! Let us prove to all other races that we are strong, and much more than what they think! Let us go forth, and win this war again Kalamon, and prove to everyone, and ourselves, that we are orcs, that we are Bloodskulls!!!"
Veralion draws his sword and raises it high in the air. The thousands watching and listening snarel scream and shout as they hoist up spears swords maces and everyday items and such in to the are. The goblins screech and jump around.
"Bloodskulls who shall join me, arm yourselves. Load the galleys with wargs and siege units. Board them yourselves. Make haste! For we leave, and ride this storm in to battle!"

Boremier · Post by **Boremier** » Tue Jun 10, 2003 9:31 pm

thirty minutes ago:

Boremier Xantam and the scout from Boremier's home land are gallopping towards Masmaturia to help the people there.

"How much further?" asks Boremier
the scout replys : "Not to far we're nearly there but we need to go through those woods as a short-cut"
Boremier looks over at Xantam to see if he is ok nods and the three gallop towards the woods.

Xantam. · Post by **Xantam.** » Tue Jun 10, 2003 9:34 pm

Xantam nods back at Boremier and looks into the woods curiously "Hmm... these woods look familiar" Xantam keeps looking at the woods while the group turns and starts to ride through the woods " O yes! Now i remember, I hid a weapon in here" Xantam stops his horse and turns towards the woods "Dont wait up, i will be back soon" Xantam rides off into the woods

Boremier · Post by **Boremier** » Tue Jun 10, 2003 9:38 pm

Boremier turns his horse around and shouts out : "Xantam you don't know the way back shall I wait for you here?"

The scout looks at Boremier and says : "We have togo now we cannot wait!" Boremier nods and slowly turns around and leaves a trail for Xantam.

Xantam. · Post by **Xantam.** » Tue Jun 10, 2003 9:52 pm

Xantam gallops through the forest and comes to some rugged ground with many vines and a well "This is it..." Xantam gets off the horse and ties him to a tree. He walks into the vines and crouches "Where did i put it" He moves his hands along the ground brushing dirt out of the way, as he is doing this a slate with the letter X written on it "Ha! Found it" Xantam pushes down on it and the X rises a few inxhes on an axel. Xantam twists the X in a 180 degree angle and pushes it back in.

Then the ground starts to shake and trees are moved, by the opeing doors in the ground. Xantam walks in looking around at all the weapons on the walls. "Ahh, havent been here in a while" Xantam walks through the room looking at each weapon there "Scimitar... no. Halberd... no club.. no i will need something that can pierce armor, my 6 foot hardwood staff wont work. How about the... yea those will be good." Xantam walks up to a wall with holes, adn in each hole are some small boxes. Xantam looks at each one and pulls out a long green box, blows off the dust and says "This is the one... this will work just fine" Xantam holds the box under his arm and leaves the room, and closes, harnesses the box onto the horse and quickly heads back to find Boremier.

Xantam reaches the trail, and follow the horsesteps on the ground.

((Just incase you dont know, i am Salathe, this is my new char))

Xantam. · Post by **Xantam.** » Wed Jun 11, 2003 2:01 am

Xantam looks back at the darkening sky then looks forward, seeing Boremier and the scout in the distance on there horses. Xantam looks to see if the box is still there, he tightens the knot... just in case.

Boremier · Post by **Boremier** » Wed Jun 11, 2003 10:06 pm

Boremier notices Xantam catching up with him.
The three eventually reach the once proud kingdom of masmatruia
the scout begins to speak.

Boremier · Post by **Boremier** » Wed Jun 11, 2003 10:15 pm

The scout begins to speak : "We are here we should gather the knights as soon as possible" Boremier nods to the scout and they begin to round up the troops.

Salathe · Post by **Salathe** » Thu Jun 12, 2003 2:14 am

Salathes reaches Darishnia. He gets out of the water and looks around and says "Salathe remember.... helios go to castle, maybe man who take necklace with helios. Salathe go to castle" Salathe looks to see the the castle then heads towards it.

Once Salathe reaches the castle he asks a gaurd if he knows where a man named Sevious Helios is.

((read "lizard in forest" and "the 2 items" formore info))

Sevious Helios · Post by **Sevious Helios** » Fri Jun 13, 2003 3:11 am

The storm clouds roll in quickly over the horizen. Thunder strikes the area all around. Sevious looks up at it with confidence in the upcoming battle. His hair flaps in the wind behind him as he rest his hands on the hilt of the Wrym's tooth. As the lighting flashes, his eyes flash with it, the glowing effect to them flashes... Sevious looks around as several calvary men come riding up to him. "Sir, King Prean requested you get this horse to ride.", the man says bringing up a familar white horse. "No...can it be? Hevana?", Sevious asks as she comes up to him and neighs. Sevious puts his hand up to her nose and pats it softly. "You're a lovely horse...", Sevious says smiling to her.

Lighting cackles again and the storm clouds grow thicker. Rain pours hard and hits their armor with clanking sounds. The men line up in formations one behind the other. Sevious mounts Hevana slowly after gazing at her one more time and rides to the front line. He stares down at the scared men as they shake in their armor. He nods to them reassuringly. He rides out in front of them all slightly smiling. They look up at him as he rides past. Hevana turns around in front of them all. The ground starts to rattle and rocks begin to move past their resting positions. "He comes...", Sevious thinks.

Meanwhile back in the castle a guard peers out of his armor at Salathe. "Hmm...he is outside...outside of the outer walls too...if you want to speak to him...wait towards the end...", the guard says. Shezar, King Prean, and King Sirean walk up towards the tower to watch the battle. About 1000 dwarves line up between the humans as well. They hold their axes ready for battle. Shezar peers down at his men. "They look like they are stronger than yer men! Heheh", Shezar says grinning up at King Prean and King Shezar. "We'll see...", King Sirean says. Shezar nods as a straight look comes back to his face. "Yes....we shall see...", King Prean says eyeing Sevious.

Salathe · Post by **Salathe** » Fri Jun 13, 2003 3:26 am

"Salathe need find friends.... Salathe need undo curse" Salathe says to the gaurd. Salathe walks out of the castle, to the gates and looks out, waiting for someone he knows ot come

Armil Darken · Post by **Armil Darken** » Fri Jun 13, 2003 3:48 am

Armil inside of the castle, in a completly empty room, that was hours ago a armoury, sits, his eyes glazed over, with a samuri sword resting in his hands. Armil, with a spirtual connection with his hawk veiws the enemys forces soraing overhead as they march toward the fortress, and the opposing army. Guidind the hawk swooping down towards the gaurd of Kalamon, he flies overjead of Kalamons personal gaurd.
---
Kalamon, quickly looks up and sees a hawk flying over, he calls a halt to his gaurd, and watches as the hawk fly over. He orders them to continue, he knows that the hawk, is a fimilar with someone, but unconcerned, he orders a scout to go shoot the hawk down, out of his own evil cruelness. The scout quickly departs in the chase but if far slower Armil guiding the hawk leads the Orc, into a small party of scout soldiers, who quickly dispatch of the Orc. The hawk guided returns to the castle and perches on top of one of the towers, overlooking the two armys, seeing far into the stormy fig with it's keet sight.
---
Armil quickly gets up, and begins swing the samuri sword at a unbelivable rate, and while doing so recites a chant, and the blade bursts into flames leaving a stream of flame behind the blade. Armil stops, and releases the enchantment on the blade, and sheathes it. Soon after he could hear some of the battle horns. Armil notches one of his explosive arrows into the long bow, and waits. He launches the arrow out the wiondo, as soon as it is launched flint attached to the bow lights a layers of flammable liquid, and it flies into the air, at the arch of its flight it explodes from the gunpowder sealed inside the head of the arrow ignited by the heat of the flame. A rmil satisfied at the arrows effictiavness returns his view to the mist shrouding the army he would soon take part in fighting. After a few minutes he looks sees a lisard stand by the entrance to the castle, he directs the hawk to fly down to the lisard, realizing it is Salathe, he directs the hawk to land on Salathes shoulder. And returns his view towards the horizion.
---
As the hawk swoops down one of the gards says, "Thats odd, I would have sworn that hawk was owned by a strange elf named Armil. or atlast he had a hawk almos exactly like that, but that couldnt be a wild one, to come so close to a person, and to be anywhere near the city."

((I'm a druid officially, but i'm rp'ing that my char is learning an arcane form of magic, practiced by none on the island, and very few in the world, my char has spent loooon times in the library rp'ing reading on the topic.))

Salathe · Post by **Salathe** » Fri Jun 13, 2003 4:27 am

((by the way armil, its lizard not lisard =P))

Salathe look at the hawk, he tilts his head looking slightly confused and says "Salathe.... remember Armil. Armil Salathes friend" Salathe turns to the gaurd "Where Armil stay? Salathe go see armil." The gaurd points out where teh armory is and says he last heard Armil was there. Salathe heads to the armory. Once he gets there, he grabs teh knob, opens the door, and sees Armil in the room, practing with hsi sword.

Armil Darken · Post by **Armil Darken** » Fri Jun 13, 2003 11:04 pm

Armil turns around, and faces the entrance in the middle of practice and stops dead, drops his sword and stares at the lisard, with a blank face, he manages to get out the single word, "Salathe" knoticing the lack of color in the lisard amd the lack of emothon, he suddenly asks "What Happened?" Armil realizes tha Salathe is not the same, an may never be, noticing the staff, but not the necklace. He wonders what it could mean.

Salathe · Post by **Salathe** » Fri Jun 13, 2003 11:12 pm

Salathes face changes to a delightful mood seeing another one if his friends "Salathe find Armil. Armil not know what happen to Salathe..." Salathe walks over to Armil looking at his sword curiously and begins to talk to Armil and tells him all that had happened.

"Salathe wonder if... Armil know where necklace are. Salathe not know. Salathe hope friend know where necklace is. Necklace fix Salathes mind. Salathe no think striaght with no necklace" Armil thinks and looks at Salathe. "No... Sorry, but i do not know what happened to your necklace... Maybe one of the others have it, but I dont know where they are at this time." Salathe looks around the empty room. "Where Salathe neckalce..."

Moathia · Post by **Moathia** » Sat Jun 14, 2003 12:52 am

Moathia stands up when she hears the call, and runs out to find her gaurds ready. " Stand behind the human lines with the rest of the elves, and use your bows, wait there, I have to get my equipment." She orders before running back into the castle, while the rest of the elves run out with bows, and wait.

Armil Darken · Post by **Armil Darken** » Mon Jun 16, 2003 6:59 pm

Armil picks up his sword and reives himself form the room, saying goodbye to Salathe. He walks out ang prepares for battle.

Salathe · Post by **Salathe** » Wed Jun 18, 2003 8:58 pm

As Armil leave Salathe runs and catches up to him and says "Salathe not see any friends here, and Salathe cant fight like this, so Salathe go back to town. Salathe want Armil send notice (Scran) when more Salathe friends come." Armil looks at Salathe and nods, the Salathe walks to the coast and rapidly swims back to Trollsbane.
