THE HIGHLANDER'S TOMB (TEAM FORUM RPG)

Posts

Before I knew it, it was over. The Murkals were dead and we evaded the bullet of death for now... After taking a deep breath and assimilating the victory, I run towards Kairy and I tell her:

"Kairy! Are you okay? Man, sorry about that, I almost screwed us up! You must think that I'm a burden right now..."
Looking at Wes, I ask:

"Why do you need blue sap?
You should get the hides."

I know why, but Razuna doesn't...

By the way seiromen I love how you crossed the hearts in river. :)
But seriously, where's my bird!?
"Oh? I suppose I should explain! We went to the mining camp, but sadly, the Taskmaster, who is a rather rude fellow, I must admit, would not give us any supplies. He wouldn't even sell them to us! However, there was a miner who told us he could get us such supplies, however he requested we get him some... spice, as he called it. When I asked him what sort of spice, he looked slightly... annoyed for some strange reason and told us to get some of this sap. So we decided to get some of this sap and we came across you. There you have it. I suppose we SHOULD get some hides too, though, shouldn't we?"
When Wes asks if I'm okay I begin to reassure him I'm alright, but he's already moved on. I chuckle a little to myself.

I'll be a good little boy and collect some blue sap! I was going to do it anyway, but all the better if I'm being helpful!

I'll try to collect a little excess of what I see as a good amount. We have no idea how much our miner broseph wants and even if he doesn't want a lot we may need blue sap later. At the very least we could sell the excess.

Hahaha I love the hearts crossing!

*Pant, pant* "No time for talk right now," I snap at Zuko and attempt to push him towards the water. "Come on, we got to get to the river and get that acid off of us."
As we arrive at the water, I pour some of it over our injuries in an attempt to wash away the acid. Still breathing heavily, I then say: "What did you say? A burden? Are you kidding me? You killed four of those runts with one slash! We just both saved each other's lives. Good thing you didn't go hunting alone..."

After I've had some time to rest and restore my strength, I suggest we collect the scales of those murkals and then get away from here before more of them can show up.


Edit: JJJ7, you sent your raven to the mysterious house, remember?

Yes, but why hasn't he come back yet!?

"You're done with that?"

I ask to Wes.

"Then let's get some hides, I didn't came here for nothing!"

"Oh, and.......thanks for the help..."
"I'm glad too. And thanks, you did it pretty well too, you have very good aim."

After some heavy breathing, I proceed to help her collect the scales.

While we're collecting them, I say to Kairy:

"And I promise that I won't never again try to use my demonic charm on you, from now on, I will limit myself to the classic ways of flirting."

I wink twice to Kairy.
"You're welcome," I pipe in cheerily "we're were kinda obligated to help though. Wes and I always help whenever we can."

I will also throw in that I totally ship KairyxZuko. Not in...dialogue. Just as a thought.

It's a work in progress.
(ZukoxKairy OTP :D)

"You're most certainly welcome, Razuna! Well, I suppose we should indeed collect some hides, then we can head back to town!"

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

I'm just playing around. It's very fun to play with emotions.
I'm going to get mine one day though.

---------------Turn 8---------------

Wes + Razuna + Bazyli------------

With a few chants and some elbow grease Wes uses Soothe Wounds!
2! Nothing happens. Soothe Wounds are now on CoolDown.
(BTW, you actually rolled a 1, but you're MAGI adds a 25% chance to get a +1 to all MAGI rolls. You got the 25%! Good thing too, or you wouldda torn his arm open more.)

"Ah, that doesn't usually happen. I'm sorry Razuna! Guess it's just bad luck!"
Apologizes Wes, his healing spell failed.

Razuna retorts "Ugh, can I only rely on myself in this group? Ah well, I'll tough it out. Help me get these pelts."

While Wes and Razuna gathers the 7 pelts, the 8th being ruined by Wes, Bazyli Uses the jars by the tree, 6 to be exact, to collect the blue sap. It's slow as molasses, but you get the job done.

With 7 pelts and 6 jars of Grainy Blue Sap in hand, you guys head back towards the miner's hut. For some reason, Bazyli thinks to himself "I bet Zuko and Kairy would be good together.... woah, where'd that come from?"

Meanwhile, at the miner's camp...
The quartermaster sits, waiting for your arrival, the gear he promised nearby.
His eyes glow with delight at the sight of Bazyli's handful of blue sap! Or spice as he called it. "About time! What took ye so long? In nearly had the taskmaster bite my head off about unused gear, now gimme da spice!"
As he says this, a bellowing roar explodes from the mine! The taskmaster runs out yelling "Guardssss! Quick! It'ssss a Balgroth!"
Having said that, three guards rush into the mines.

What do?

STATUS: Razuna: Your left arm is still torn up and bleeding. 3x Ferall Hides.
Wes: 4x Ferall hides.
Bazyli: Blue Sap Jars x6

Zuko + Kairy--------------
Blundering into the river you drag Zuko inside. As you two converse, you wash away the Acid, and your burn is no more!
After another exchange you suggest to collect the scales of those murkals and then get away from here before more of them can show up. 3!
You manage to gather 67 scales from all the Murkals, however Kairy falls to her knees, breathing ever deeply! The defile-ation is taking it's toll, Kairy is now Tired her effectiveness is halved. Zuko manages to help her away from the river and near the armor shop.
Zuko regains his breath, but Kairy is weak.
Kairy: Defiled and tired! You're feeling very weak all of a sudden. Burns cured!
Zuko: Burns Cured! You're worried about Kairy.
--------------------------------------

It's a work in progress.

I feel ya bro. Don't worry.

EDIT: Maybe you could worry just a little.

You guys... seriously. Just because I'm the only woman in the group. Not nice... ;)

-------------

After that fight and because I'm still feeling weak from the burns and the defilement, my patience has finally reached zero.
"DAMN IT! Stop getting on my nerves already! We've had enough trouble as it is, why must you always make it worse?! If you don't knock it off for good right now, you're going to catch a crossbow bolt right to where it hurts most! Got that?!"
Having exhausted myself like that, I take a deep breath and sit down on the ground again, not paying any attention to Zuko any more for the next few minutes.


Edit: Blech, ninja'ed. I slightly edited my post, but my point still stands. Muhahaha!
"What the...?"

"Whatever, I'm not going inside, at least not with my arm like this,
Give me the rest of the hides and I'll take them to
the armor shop, is that okay? I'll think you two can handle this."

While talking I rip a part of Basyli's cloth to make a bandage
around my right arm, then I go the armor shop.
(A failed healing attempt, ruining one of the Ferall pelts, I must not have the greatest of luck today...)

"Hm, I do believe I should assist those guards! I would take you with me, but you are a bit fragile, Bazyli... I would prefer if you stayed here... or perhaps you could leave the sap with that miner and go with Razuna?"
Even though Kairy keeps yelling at me, I can't help but to feel worried about her. I tell her:

"Kairy, you're really hurt. Seriously, after we end up talking to the blacksmith, you should go to the Inn. I don't want nothing bad to happen to you..."
author=Zuko
I don't want nothing bad to happen to you..."


Awww...
In response to Wes I suggest this: "I'll stay here - both to watch the sap and come running if you need any help. Just yell, okay?"

After Wes confirms the plan, I turn to the quartermaster and smile, "Do we get our things now?"

Reluctantly, I acknowledge that Zuko has a point. I do indeed feel extremely weak and powerless. I try to calm down a bit. "Alright then. Let's go to... the weapons and armour shop first, then I'll... go take a nap at the inn..."
"Yeah, let's go..."
