Shining Force RPG 2 session 18 Text version <Narrator> ===== SESSION START ===== <Narrator> A day has passed... This is the presumed morning after the Shining Force's capture... They are in a cell of horridly small proportions... Two guards wait by the door, playing a game of cards... * Tiernan is asleep, his head resting on Dal's leg. * Jess stays as close to Darin as she can get. * David sits leaned against a wall while sitting on the floor....he is, of course, right next to Rei. ^^; * Dal sighs and watches Tyr sleep, the only thing he can do aside from totally going nuts. * Reisha is leaning against the wall near David, brooding as she awakens and recalls her situation. "Damn it.. damn it.. damn it.." * David looks at Rei, eyes still half shadowed from the day before... "What?" * Jess closes her eyes. "Why did I have to start casting? I got you all into this." * Sasha sleeps peacefully. <David> Yeah, right Jess. Who's the leader here, huh? HUH? Me. * David glares at Jess. <David> So be quiet. <Dal> No, it's me... I shouldn'tve tried to get David's money back. <Jess> you're also not the one they recognized as a magician, David. * Darin holds Jess close.. "Its ok, Jess, you didn't know." * Zoie sits on the floor and meditates * Tiernan mumbles in his sleep, sounding frightened. * David growls and seemingly gets the same look as yesterday... "It was my fault. I am the leader. It was my fault. And I'll get us out of here." * David 's eyes are narrowed and he looks psycho.. -_- * Dal doesn't press the situation further, seeing David looks rather ticked/psycho. ^^; * Tiernan curls up tighter into a ball, which isn't much tighter since he had to curl up into a ball anyway to fit in the cell. * The guard laughs loudly and starts to cough. "DAMN this flu season." * Darin just continues to hold Jess close. * David stands and approaches the bars... "Hey. You. With the cough." <Tiernan> Stop ...Gerad.....stop it....stop it.... * Dal looks at Tyr, concerned... * Jess hides the locket in her shirt. * The guard turns around... "Yeah you... The blonde freak with a bad temper." * Sasha sleeps! * Reisha cocks her head to the guard at that comment. <Tiernan> Dal...get...get...NO! Stop....everyone....get up... Gerad.. stop... hurting.... stop it... * Dal shakes Tyr awake gently... "Tyr..." * David bristles but seemingly keeps cool. "Anyone ever tell you you look like the rotted behind of a centaur?" <Dal> It's a nightmare, don't worry... * Tiernan opens his eyes. <Tiernan> Dal....you're okay. * Tiernan sits up, rubbing his eyes. * The guard gets up. "OH YEAH?? OH FUCKING YEAH?? Hah! Who cares? :P" <Dal> Yeah, for now... are you okay? <Tiernan> I...I think so.... <David> Mmm. Just what I thought. You don't have the balls. What is it these days with guards anyway? ^_- <David> Did your mommy bite them off? <David> Huh? <David> Did she? * Darin looks at Jess.. then blinks at David.. * The guard turns to the gaming table and dumps his cards on the table... "Full house." * Reisha joins David by the bars. "Nah.. that'd be too good for him.." :P * Dal winces and prepares himself for the ritualistic "shit's gonna happen". * Tiernan crawls to the bars, watching the two guards play cards. <Tiernan> What are you two doing? * Johei paces * Jess looks at Darin. "I can't let them recognize me. Hassan isn't far to the west of my actual home." <Narrator> The other guard chuckles... "Ahh freaks... Gotta love em. 4 kings, By the way." * David leans against the bars now and looks over at Rei.. <Tiernan> What are you two doing? <Tiernan> Please answer me. * Darin hugs Jess close. "It's ok.. " <Dal> Tyr, shh... they're bad... and they're playing cards. Once we get out of this, I'll teach you how to play... <Guard> Uhh... We're playing a game of poker. <Guard> Piss off, kid. <Tiernan> Piss...oh that must be another bad word. * Tiernan hmms. <Darin> I won't let anything happen to you while I live, Jess.. I promise you that. * Tiernan sticks up his middle finger. "^_^ Did I do this right, everyone?" <Tiernan> Was this the appropriate time to do it? <Narrator> The guard chuckles... "Yeh.. Bad word." * Dal sweatdrops. ^^; * Jess eyes the guard's cards, trying her best to summon up enough fire power to ignite the cards. * Tiernan crawls back to Dal. * Darin blinks at Tier when he realizes what he did. <Johei> This is impossible... we should be saving the world from the bad demons and we were trapped by thieves. =/ * David crosses his arms almost protectively across his chest.. <Narrator> == Jess' magic powers are drained. The spell fails. <Johei> This shouldn't happen to heroes, should it? =/ <David> .... <Tiernan> Sorry....people are blinking at me again. I must have done it wrong. <Dal> Hey! Uglies! You know it's me you want, so why're keeping these other freaks around? * David 's look darkens further... <Jess> .oO(Great. My magic is my only defense. Without it..I'm...) * The guard turns around. "Are you kidding me, Dal? PLEASE. Stop trying to play good little hero and sit the fuck down." <Darin> Tyr, I was blinking because of the .. courage .. you had to do that to them. <Tiernan> Courage...? <Reisha> You know these freaks of nature, Dal? <Dal> No, seriously, they're incompetent putzes. They're not worth hanging onto. <Tiernan> We have to get out of here... <Johei> What if we explain that we're all heroes and that we have stuff to do..? <Tiernan> ...Dal? <Johei> Maybe they would let us out! =D * Jess looks at Darin. "You'll really need to protect me now Sir Darin. I cannot use my magic." * Dal whispers to Rei. "Yeah, unfortunately." * David walks further into the cell, slumping down into a corner and watching the others from there. <Guard> Incompetent? They're the Shining Force... Are you dumb? Did your magic turn your brain to mush??" <Dal> Nah, you just haven't seen them in action. Trust me, they suck... Listen, I have a deal for you... <Tiernan> .... <Jess> .... <Guard> Deal? I'm listenin'. <Dal> You let these freaks out, I go to Hassan freely. <Tiernan> Dal? No...don't.... <Dal> No trouble, no shit happening. * Reisha watches Dal, hanging on his words. <Guard> HAH! Pathetic deal. I get nothing out of this. Forget it, shrimp. <Johei> Hey, I can fight well. =/ * Dal hopes that Tyr won't pick up his swearing. ^^; * Darin hugs Jess closer and whispers "Don't worry.. they'll have to kill me before they'll touch a hair on your head." <Reisha> Ergh... if only I could blast this bunch of pathetic pigs... -_- * Sasha mutters and wakes up slowlyh <Jess> my sentiments exactly, Reisha. * Reisha tries casting bolt... * Dal chuckles. "You didn't let me finish... you know I was damn good back when I was in the guild. What makes you think that that legendary horde of gold I was keeping is gone? You could have it all." <Sasha> Ugh... what the hell happened? <Tiernan> You got shocked.... <Tiernan> And I used my magic to save you.... <Dal> All. Of. It. <Tiernan> You weren't breathing.... <Sasha> Mmm..... thank's Tyr, <Guard> Horde? Hah. I want proof, kid. <Sasha> Where are? <Tiernan> We're in a cell. :/ <Tiernan> I don't know why either. <Dal> Well hell, I can't damn show you when I'm locked up with nowhere to go. Let the freaks out first, then I'll show ya. <Sasha> Hmph, I'll get us outta here. <Guard> You know what? I'm almost tempted to... But I'll get my ass killed by the guildmaster. * Jess looks around. "It's because they tried to rob David, Tyr. I started to cast a spell and they recognized me as a magician. That's why we're here." <David> ... <Tiernan> Oh....but it's not David's fault or anyone's! * David twitches and hunches lower into the corner.. <Tiernan> David is a good leader! * Dal reaches in his pocket and pulls out a ruby, and throws it at the guard. "More where that came from, fellah." <Tiernan> I believe in him...he'll get us out! <David> .... <Tiernan> And even if he can't...I still believe in him...because he wants to change things.... <Tiernan> For good.... <Jess> I shouldn't have started that spell. * The guard catches it... "You got guts, freak... I'll give you that..." <Dal> C'mon... it's worth to take a *little* risk for this kind of loot... * Dal winks. ;) * David says nothing, just looking down. * The guard moves to the door to open it... * Darin sighs at Jess softly..unknowing what more to say.. or what more to do other than hold her. * Reisha grabs some of the bars, and starts pulling in futility. :P * Dal whispers softly to the others... "Get ready..." * Reisha turns her head. * Jess nods. <Narrator> A voice from the door makes itself heard. "FOOL! He has NOTHING. Step away from the door. NOW." <Tiernan> Ow! :( He's got a loud voice. <Narrator> The man jumps back as though pushed... <Darin> ... <Sasha> How did I know that was going to happen? <Reisha> What was that? <Narrator> A richly decorated man walks in and glares at Dal... "tsk tsk, boy... I thought I taught you to be more... Persuasive." <Dal> . o O (Fuck.) * Zoie looks up * Tiernan crawls up to the bars, looking at the newcomer. "Who are you?" * Zoie stands up * Jess looks at the man. "Who is this one?" <Johei> Are you here to take us out? * Dal glares at the man. "Piss off, you son of a bitch." * Zoie glares intently at the man * Reisha looks at the man, obviously loaded. "Who the hell are you?" <Tiernan> Are you going to hurt Dal? I won't let you if you are! <Narrator> The man grins... "Oh come now, Dal... Is that a way to treat your mentor?" * Darin glares at the newcomer. * David stands slowly but just remains silent, eyes narrowed at the man. <Tiernan> I won't! <Man> My name is Bryann of Hassan... I am the guildmaster of Hassan's thieve's guild and ruler of Blyght. <Sasha> Big whoop <Dal> Fuck off. Just because I have magic and more balls than you could ever have doesn't make me cannon fodder. * Dal O_O; <Tiernan> Please don't hurt him! <Tiernan> Why do you do this to him? Just because he knows magic? Magic can help people! <Reisha> Yeah.. what do you got against magic.. :P <Jess> What does this town have against magicians? * Darin tries to keep Jess somewhat hidden by shadows.. <Bryann> Oh come now... Since when have you been so insulting in nature? <Dal> Ever since you put a 100,000 gold bounty on my ass. =p * Bryann starts to growl.. "Magic is a plague on this earth. It MUST be dealt with. We are the ONLY ones that actually see this." <Jess> O_o <Johei> I can't use magic. ^_^ <Bryann> As for your bounty, since you left, it has been raised to 1,000,000. <Zoie> I refuse to take part in this... I will resist and die if neccessary. <Jess> magic? A Plague? <Dal> O_O; * Reisha smirks. "I think pompous guys like you are a plague of this Earth.. what's your point?" :P * David places his hands over Sasha's ears :P <Tiernan> It's not a plauge! It's people like you who are! People who kill innocents without a thought! People like you! <Jess> Johei: There are those of us that can. Like Reisha, Zoie, Tiernan and myself that can. <Dal> Look, they have nothing to do with this. Let'em go, and I'll let you kill me or whatever the fuck you want me to do. <Reisha> << heh >> <Bryann> Now what would be the fun in THAT? <Bryann> Please, Dal... Spare me! * David gently pushes his way to the front of the bars and loops his hands around them. "You need a tic tac." * Darin suddenly shivers.. and puts his pendant under his shirt. <Dal> . o O (No, spare *me*. =p) * Jess gets a real frightened expression. .oO(Just what does he mean by "fun"?) * Bryann turns to David and spits in his face... "Yes... I guess I do." * Zoie sits back down on the floor and places her hands on her knees and closes her eyes <Sasha> Hey, punk bitch, let us go or I'll kick your stupid hairy red ass! * Tiernan sighs and slumps against the bars, giving up hope. * David licks the spit off and raises an eyebrow at Bryann. "Like a llama. So whats the plan here, loser?" * Reisha growls at the man after mocking David. <Bryann> The plan, my fine freak boy, is to burn you at the stake. Marvelous, is it not? * Jess looks at darin. * Tiernan looks up. "NO!" <David> MM. couldn't you be more inventive? I'd like to die with some finesse. <David> Maybe crucified. * Darin gets a dark, fierce fire in his eyes. <Reisha> You and what army! * Tiernan crawls to Dal and puts his hands around him protectively. "I won't let you! No!" <Dal> How creative. Did you read that in your little kiddy books? <Johei> Burn? O_o <Johei> No no no! I won't let you do that! <Sasha> hmmm, burn like witches eh? <Sasha> How... fun <Johei> Give me my sword and I'll beat you in fair combat! <Jess> How cliche. <Dal> Tyr... shh, don't worry... * Zoie stands up.. <Bryann> No, Dal... Actually. I thought it would be ironic to destroy you with a taste of your own medicine... <Tiernan> No...I won't let you die... <Zoie> don't burn him <Zoie> burn me * David eyes the man. <Zoie> I dare you to, I don't think you have the guts * Darin blinks.. "Zoie??" <Jess> Zoie, no. <Dal> Zoie, no... I'm the one he wants... =p * Bryann smirks... "How endearing. The boy loves you, Dal. Oh! And the priest woman also! Such a merry little bunch." <Zoie> stay out of this Dal <Tiernan> Zoie... <Zoie> I know what I'm doing * Reisha tries reaching her hands outside of the bars. "I'll show you merry.. you..." * Tiernan glares at the man, anger being seen on his face for, quite possibly, the first time. <Dal> Yeah, 'cause I'm more likable than your ass-face could ever be. =p <Bryann> ENOUGH. You shall all burn in the town square at sunset. <Zoie> like I said you don't have the guts to try it <Johei> Just you try! As soon as I'm out of here, I'll teach you evil thieves a lesson! <Tiernan> I can't burn! ^_^ <Bryann> Have a nice... Last moment of life. <Tiernan> I'm a phoenix ^_^ * Reisha tries to summon up a bolt spell at Bryan, hands outstretched.. * Tiernan hopes that's the truth. ^_^; * Bryann turns on his heels and leaves quickly. <Zoie> life doesn't end at death... just remember that Hassan * Dal clams Tyr's mouth shut. "Shh, it might be our only hope." <Johei> It's not fair! They can't do this stuff! * David leans his forehead on the bars. * Tiernan 's mouth is clamped * Darin looks at Jess...praying that Zoie does know what she's doing.. and pulls Jess closer.. <Johei> I mean... we have to have a chance! They're not fighting fairly! * Jess looks at Darin. <Dal> They never do. =p <Tiernan> Mmm? <David> ..... * Reisha follows David's example. "It's no use.." * Tiernan 's mouth is still clamped shut ^_^;; <Johei> But they can't do that! =/ * Dal takes his hand off Tyr's mouth. ^^; * David slides a hand over to Rei's and squeezes it gently. <Tiernan> Dal....but if I live....what about you? <Tiernan> And everyone? <Zoie> nobody is going to die... <Jess> Tiernan, if our magic gets restored by sunset, I can create water using my chilling inferno. <Tiernan> Why would it be? <Dal> ... look, none of you are gonna die... 'cause we're gonna escape... somehow. <Jess> for some odd reason, inside this cell, we can't use magic. I wonder how they sealed magic if they don't use it. * Zoie sits down again and closes her eyes and starts to talk softly to herself * Reisha tenses her hand as David's touch them, sighing gloomily. "This is not happening.." <David> ..... <Sasha> You know you people really need to lighten up! <Sasha> We're going to make it, trust me on this. * Dal punches the nearest wall. "Sure, we will." <Sasha> We're the Shining Force after all. <David> ... <Reisha> I don't even have my daggers... <Johei> Right! <Darin> Zoie said that none of us are going to die.. I say we trust her word. <Narrator> The guards yawn... "Let's bail for a few... There's no way they can escape anyways..." <Johei> And we can beat up these people when we get out! <Sasha> We can't be defeated by being burned, come on its rediculous. <Jess> and every kingdom in the world except for Granseal and Guardiana. * Tiernan coughs. * Reisha checks her cape's hidden pockets just to make sure. <Jess> and every kingdom in the world except for Granseal and Guardiana is after us for some odd reason. :P <Guard> Yeh... I'm hungry... Let's go fetch some grub. * The guards leave. <Zoie> weapons are but an extention of your soul... think of it that way, why should a dagger make you any more or less couragous or willing to fight this. <Sasha> Hey! Bring me a piece! <Reisha> Zoie.. what am I supposed to do with no weapons and no magic..? <Tiernan> Dal.....is the world a bad place? * David's eyes get a sudden gleam to them as he gets an idea... "Dal..." He whispers lowly, almost inaudibly....his tone is oddly vacant.. <Narrator> A small spider scuttles into the cell... <Dal> ... yeah...? <Jess> my sentiments exactly, Reisha. My magic is my only defense. I don't even have a weapon. <Tiernan> ... <Dal> Tyr, it isn't. There's just some bad people in it. <Zoie> Reisha: why should you need them? if you believe in yourself anythign is possible <David> Could you pick the lock on this cell? <Tiernan> Okay.. <Sasha> I've been in worser situations than this.... * Darin eyes the spider... <David> If you had the right instrument? <Sasha> Can't think of anything right now. <Dal> I could if I had my lockpicks. =p * Reisha remains silent at that... * Zoie puts her hand out near the spider and waits for it to walk onto it <David> ......Rei? Are you still wearing the hairclip? <Tiernan> «ooc: The spider humps Zoie » * Sasha pulls out a bobby pin that keeps her hair in a bun <Sasha> Will this work? <Dal> Maybe... <Narrator> The spider crawls on Zoie's hand and stops there. <Reisha> I just.. * Sasha hands it to Dal. * Darin looks at Zoie... and the spider.. * Dal takes the pin and tries to pick the lock... * Zoie moves her hand closer to herself and looks at the spider * Reisha turns to david. "yeah.. are you going to try it as a pick again?" <Zoie> so little fella.. come to say hello? <Dal> Gimme that other one, too... two picks always work better... <Tiernan> I wish I had my notepad.... * Jess looks around wondering what's going on. <Tiernan> I could draw...drawing makes me feel better... <Narrator> The spider looks back... His eyes staring coldly at Zoie... * Reisha remoevs it from her hair and chucks it at Dal. "Go for it.. not like I can lose anything else.." * David looks at Dal and then to Rei, suddenly wrapping his arms around her waist protectively. "Hey. We'll get out of this. You're not dying on my shift." <Zoie> that's ok fella I didn't expect you could answer <Dal> C'mon, damn you... friggin' rusted lock... * Dal takes the pick and keeps working... * Tiernan waits. <Narrator> The lock clicks... <Dal> Ah! <Jess> al right, Dal! * Reisha runs her eyes over David. "Where have I heard that before..?" ^^ <Johei> Yeah! =D * Dal hands back the hairpins. "Let's get the hell out of here..." <Narrator> The spider leaps off Zoie's hand and starts to change shape... * Darin smiles * David winks at Rei and squeezes her before releasing her. "Lets roll." * David freezes and looks towards the spider. * Darin looks back over at Zoie.. and the .. spider? <Narrator> The body reforms into Jeyer... <David> .... <Jess> Jeyer? * Reisha affixes it back in it's golden home, and is about to take a step out when suddenly she spots Jeyer. <Jeyer> I wouldn't try to escape if I were you.. *sends a quick glare at Kodah..* <Reisha> Not him again.. <Johei> ..? <Jess> look, if we don't get out of here, we're as good as dead. <David> And why is that, Sir Jeyer? <Dal> What?! Thanks, but I'd rather not be extra-crispy. =p <Tiernan> O_o Who are you? <Jess> He's Jeyer, a major pain in the neck. * Jeyer snickers... "You wanna try escaping? Fine... Open that wooden door over there *points* * David blocks the cell door's path so it can't be closed again without someone moving him. * Sasha pockets the bobby pin and walks on out of the cell and stretches * Johei trots outside, looking for a weapon <Jess> and what would you suggest we do? Just wait to get barbecued? * Tiernan follows everyone else, blinking at Jeyer...a lot O_o <Narrator> No weapons can be spotted. * Zoie stays <Reisha> Just what are you trying to pull, Jeyer? * David looks wary and opens the other door, the way out.. <Jess> I don't think I want these thieves feasting on barbecued Jessica Sorenson tonight. <Jeyer> What am I trying to pull? I'm trying to help your ungreatful asses like I always do. If you don't want my help and want to try to escape, fine. I'll leave. * Darin stays.. * Jeyer starts to cast a teleportation spell. <Jess> wait. Let's hear his plan. <Dal> Wait. <Jeyer> Oh now you wanna trust good ol' Jeyer? How sweet... * Dal hangs onto Jeyer. * Reisha takes a few steps out of the cell, cautiously. "Somehow I know we're not going to like this... " <Jess> I am always open to suggestions, Jeyer. <Tiernan> Why are you so angry, Mister Jeyer....I see.....something....wrong...in your eyes.....it scares me... <Zoie> fools, remember who's more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows. <Narrator> As the door opens, David spots around 20 other locked gates, all more complicated than the other... After a little investigation, tons of trap holes can be spotted. <David> ..... * Dal peeks. <Dal> Ergh. <Jess> What is your plan, Jeyer? * Jeyer glances at Tyr and snickers.. <Johei> This is all so complicated.. <David> Ninjas of Hassan, Thieves of Hassan...jeez. <Reisha> What's out there, David? Welcoming party? <Tiernan> Why are you laughing at me like that? <David> Lots of fun. Mainly, locks. Traps. A lot of each. <Reisha> That doesn't sound reassuring.. ^^ * Jeyer turns around and looks at the party... "Now. Stay in the cell. And learn to trust me. I'll get you people out of here.. As much as I hate saving Kodah also.. <Tiernan> You hate Kodah? Why? * David smirks and closes the door, wandering back into the cell. <Jeyer> Just wait until sunset.. <Tiernan> He's my friend.... * Dal looks skeptical. <Zoie> trust is not something that you can ask freely, you must earn it <Sasha> Hmph, whatever * Jeyer growls softly as he hears Tyr speak.. <Sasha> How do these guys get out? <Tiernan> What's wrong with you? * Reisha heads back to the cell, begrudingly. "I guess we have no choice here.." * David leans against the wall, eyeing Jeyer and recalling the stories his mother told him about. <Jeyer> Zoie.. I have been helping this party since.. Agh. Trust me or not. It's your loss. I'll be waiting with my plan at sunset.. Until then.. <Sasha> I am not going back into that cell. * Tiernan takes a step towards Jeyer, looking concered, and not knowing Jeyer is a pigheaded bastard :p <Tiernan> Why do you hate Kodah....? He's a good man. <Zoie> <m> I've compassion for strangers, an affinity for danger, won't you be my sacrifice...... -_-; * Jeyer glances at Kodah, Tyr then gazes at David for a few second before teleporting away without an answer to Tyr's question.. * Darin stays where he is, near Zoie, still holding Jess. * Tiernan sighs. "He's got so much...much...anger..." <Dal> So... um... <David> ...hm. <David> Well. <David> He has his reasons. * Tiernan steps back into the cell with everyone else. <Reisha> That guy is a load of trouble.. <David> We trust him. * Sasha mutters and heads back into the cell. * David closes the cell door. * Dal sighs. * Reisha folds her arms, back to the cell bars. <Zoie> I am going to stay put, if I burn I burn, what's the worst that can happen, I'l die and my soul will come back and haunt them for eternity. * David sits down again, leaning back onto the wall.....he gazes up at the ceiling.. * Tiernan coughs a bit and sinks down against a wall. * Reisha tries sparking a few more magicks again.. <David> How are you, Tyr? * Dal sits down next to Tyr... <Tiernan> I'm okay... <David> ...that's good.. <Tiernan> But this place is damp...it's making me do this strange thing.... <Tiernan> Like this... * Tiernan coughs. <Dal> I could have gone through maybe half of that hall without any problems... the rest would have been chance. * Zoie closes her eyes... "I am at peace.... I am one with my soul... I am not afraid" <David> Ah. The air, yeah. It's just bothering your lungs. It's okay. Nothing harmful....just what you're doing is a reaction, called coughing. <Tiernan> Okay. * Johei sits down beside a wall <Sasha> I hate this <Tiernan> Me too :/ <Johei> Well... wake me up when it's my turn to fight the bad guys. ^_^ <David> Yeah well.....you won't need to put up with it much longer. <Sasha> I wanna get out, and I want a bath <Narrator> Time slowly passes... <Reisha> Forget about a bath, I want my magic.. * Dal rests his head on his knees, slowly panicking... * Tiernan falls asleep against the wall. * David glances up at Rei and leans his chin on his knees. * Sasha mutters curses * Reisha slides down the bars with ehr back, coming to rest to the floor. <David> So... * Reisha closes her eyes, and leans her head back. <David> So. ^^; Hey, did I mention I'm sorry for leading you all into this? * Tiernan wakes up slowly, rubbing his eyes. <Reisha> David.. how many time have I told you to stop apologizing.. <Dal> It's not you, David... <Tiernan> David...you're a good leader. * David shakes his head, unbelieving... "It's true though. I'm the proclaimed leader. Yet so far.....we've gotten into so much sh-...stuff....that....that its just not right." <David> Sasha dying...Tyr almost dying..... <Tiernan> It's not your fault. It was mine... <David> I led you into that battle, Tyr. <Tiernan> I should have told you when I tried to save Sasha that I wouldn't really be hurt... <Tiernan> Oh..you mean with Gerad... * David nods. <Tiernan> I'm not angry about taht. <Narrator> Dammit, stop trying to find who's to blame! You people are so... So... BLAH! :P <David> I led you to everything. I led you all to everything. <Reisha> Just shut up all of you... you're just getting me more depressed. * Reisha holds her head with her hands. * Dal fireballs the Narrator. =p <Tiernan> David....please don't blame yourself for that! It's because of your quick thinking that I lived! ^_^ * David eyes Tyr... <Darin> ...... * David then looks at Rei.. * Narrator watches Dal's spell fizzle... Cuz... HEH. I decided to! * Narrator goes back to Narrating * Reisha looks really lost.. <Reisha> My magic.. damn it... -_- <Dal> Look. Everyone. I think we should rest, 'cause whatever Jeyer's got planned, we need to be ready... * David looks down for a second and gathers his wits together, sliding closer to Rei and wrapping an arm around her shoulder.... "It'll be back...." * Johei snores. ^_^ * Darin curls up, keeping Jess close.. and dozes. * Tiernan sighs and slumps against Dal a bit. <Tiernan> I want something good to happen....only bad things happen to me... <Tiernan> Do you think I'm cursed? <Zoie> Tiernan: there is often good within the bad if you look for it * Reisha looks like she's going to cry, but doesn't let it show. <David> No. Hey.....uh.....we rescued you! That's a good thing, right? ^^; <Tiernan> ....Yes....I guess. :) * Dal pat-pats Tyr, but his hand shakes as he does so... * David looks at Rei with concern in his eyes and he runs his fingers over her cheek lightly. "Hey. Besides, your magic isn't all you are. You've got that whole...Rei-ness about you....you don't need the magic, anyway! You can stomp baddies with your big boots!" * Tiernan sighs and falls back to sleep. * Reisha blinks, and starts up intoa small giggle. "Boots.... hehehe...." <David> ... ^^; You do wear boots right? * Darin snores softly. <Reisha> Too bad I can't get a couple shots in right now.. it's make me feel a whole lot better.. <Reisha> Get some stilleto heels too.. * Reisha starts raising to a laughter... <Reisha> Then I'd rule a kingdom with my iron legwear. :p * Reisha drops again. "But first we've got to get out of this joint.." <Narrator> ===== Cut scene! ===== <Narrator> An assembly takes place... Many of the thieves of all guild houses in each town attends... Gerad sits at a table, pleading his case. <Gerad> I only want one. The others you may keep. <Bryann> Ahh, but why should we? Are you also against magicians? * Gerad frowns.. "No... I am not. And I cannot believe I am dealing with criminals. But I need a man you are holding. I will pay whatever you request." * Bryann chuckles... "Anything? That is an interesting offer indeed." <Bryann> Well now, sir... Gerad is it? I want this and this alone: * Gerad looks up, waiting for the offer.. <Bryann> I... Want you to get your horse ass up, turn on your heels and leave. <Gerad> ... What?! How dare you..! <Bryann> We do not deal with pathetic bounty hunters. Finders keepers.

Oh...I see a notepad too! ^_^ I can draw again! * Tiernan fluffs his wings happily ^_^ * Reisha rummages through it's contents, chucking out various things to the ground. * Dal doesn't think he needs to take back his daggers, but does so anyways. <Narrator> An enveloppe lies over one of the bags...

"Are you going to be okay?" * Reisha picks up a few daggers from the crate, and finds herself thumbing over the books.. <Tiernan> I think so...I'll just miss her. <Tiernan> She was the first girl I ever met... <Tiernan> Or remember... * Reisha smiles... "It's always the first you remember the most..." * Darin gathers his blade and his other things.. <Tiernan> Yeah.... <David> .... <Dal> Well... * Reisha pulls out a leather bound book. "Hmm.. look at this.." <Reisha> It looks like some kind of historical book. * David glances at Rei and heads over. <Reisha> Not like I read much though.. ^^ <Tiernan> Really? * Tiernan looks it over. "Can I have it when you're done?" ^_^ * Reisha hands it to Tyr. "Go ahead..." * Tiernan takes it.

"I'm not getting any younger standing here.." * Tiernan puts the book away, running out of town. ^_^; * Dal follows everyone else, wishing for a nice cozy bed to sleep in and snore... ^^; * Tiernan suddenly stops for a moment. * Dal looks at Tyr. "What?" * Tiernan bends forwards, panting. <Dal> ... Tyr? * Tiernan then stops, shaking his head. <Dal> Tyr, what's wrong? <Tiernan> Sorry...I felt dizzy for a moment...but I'm better now. :) <Dal> You sure? * Tiernan nods. <Tiernan> I'm fine. It was strange though... <Tiernan> Maybe I'm just tired from all that happened today. * Reisha grabs David's arm on the way out, heading for whatever my lie ahead... <Dal> Probably. I'm sure as heck tired. ^^; * Tiernan laughs a little ^_^ <Tiernan> Let's go to the next town. * Dal still can't believe what happened. "Yeah..." <Narrator> the Shining Force heads out... (Or what's left of it. :P) The last events cleared Dal's spirits... His mind a little clearer... Jeyer helped the Shining Force, regardless of his feelings towards Kodah... The future holds more mystery than this day.... <Narrator> ==== Session end! =====
