Rescuing Emme (Attempt #7)

[2010/07/30 20:37] Nocra Neuman: /me She had only just awoken and had wandered in to the office to say good morning to the Boss. She wasn't surprised to find him dealing with a captive as it was a common sight in their home. Hearing his command she nodded once, raised both arms in a stretching motion and yawned all at once, mimicking the movements almost of a feral creature awakening from a nap. Once she had done so, she felt more alert and able to deal with the man. Stepping closer her eyes wandered freely over him, his chest rising with hills of bronzed muscle inked in tribal markings. It appealed to her as she had always been captivated by flesh art. "Tal.", she stated simply then canted her head to the side and continued, "What is your name tuusie and what is this about a stock pile?"

[2010/07/30 20:40] Orpheus Fairlock: /me watched as the strangely clad woman eyed him, letting her gaze traverse his body brazenly. He moved his head in order to meet her gaze with his own, her feral movements putting a bit of a scare into him, which he tried to shield her from seeing in his eyes. With his best poker face, he began to speak "My name is Orpheus, of the Skerry of Einar. Your people " He assumed it was her people, even though she dressed so completely differently from the others he had seen "Your people have captured me, and are ranting about some fictituous stockpile."

[2010/07/30 20:43] Salila Seoung: /me calls. "Hit the walls kids! Visitors incoming!!"

[2010/07/30 20:44] Ashlee Mendelsohn: /me cups her hands to her mouth "INCOMING" as she quickly shuts the door

[2010/07/30 20:45] Nocra Neuman: /me A spark of understanding flashed in her eyes as he mentioned the name of the land he hailed from, she knew them well enough and also figured out what Josh had meant of a stockpile... "The supplies under the tavern I suspect is what he meant. I saw them with my daughter. We explored your lands not long ago to look for something of mine that was taken by one of yours. Something I still want back." Her eyes narrowed hearing Elenora shouting and releasing a hiss of annoyance she spun away drawing her bow in a fluid motion. "Stay.", she called back over her shoulder and grinned knowing for now at least he didnt have much of a choice in the matter.

[2010/07/30 20:45] Nocra Neuman: /me Closes the door behind her locking it with a key hidden in a pouch on her belt ensuring he would be unable to get out easily.

(Insert a lot of pew pew here. Result Skerry 1= Talon 1 \o/)

[2010/07/30 21:43] Nocra Neuman: /me Returning to her den she moved towards him with a wild grin formed upon her lips. He remained bound to the cross but still she checked his ropes to ensure they had not grown loose somehow. She worked in a methodical fashion taking great care with each knot. Satisfied that he was properly restrained she crouched in front of him and set one foot down atop his knees to make it more difficult for him to kick out his bound feet. "Good battle!", she shouted loudly, her voice slightly mocking as she continued, "Nearly you escaped, yet, your people failed in their mission and you remain here with me. This pleases Nocra."

[2010/07/30 21:48] Orpheus Fairlock: /me looked at her blankly, you could tell that he just did not give a fuck if she was pleased or not. He was livid with her little mocking show, his face turning red, his chest heaving quickly as the anger raged within. He then tugged at the binds she'd attached to him so methodically, trying to be subtle, and hoping she didn't notice. Indeed he was bound completely, no way for him to escape. He took the moment to look at her once again, this strange creature...he was totally baffled why mambas lived among these people. "Why do they tolerate your lot here, woman?" He had rarely seen such strange looking people before, and someone dressed as scantily as her usually bore a collar as well.

[2010/07/30 22:02] Nocra Neuman: /me She settled down on top of his legs keeping them pinned to the cavern moss. It amused her to watch the display of frustration evident upon his features as he struggled to contain the storm brewing inside. "Let it out, scream if you must...be enraged....release it. Should you not, you will be a slave to yourself.", she spoke wisely. Hearing his question she grinned boldly then proceeded to trail her palms across the mural painted into his flesh and spoke, "It is a long story but one I enjoy sharing so I shall tell you tuusie." Her fingertips skimmed lower circling the spirals of intricate design. "I was born of merchant caste but with a birth defect called Aniridia, which makes my eyes black and processes light differently...like that of a nocturnal creature. My parents thought it to be an omen and were traveling to the jungles of schendi when I was only an infant. They had heard there was a man there who might tell them what it may mean. On the way my fathers caravan was attacked and they were slain.
[2010/07/30 22:02] Nocra Neuman: /me "After the battle a tribe of mamba found the bodies...and me, still alive bundled in a basket. The alpha took me in most likely due to my eyes. Mamba are very superstitious beings. When I grew old enough to learn the story of how I came to be among them I decided to travel and find more about where I had come from. I met a man, a pirate...and together we mated. When the child was born he stole her from me and for thirty years I hunted him to find where he had taken my belly fruit. That is when I found the Black Talon. By then she was grown and companioned to one of the elders here. Yet, they welcome me due to my blood to her. And here I have stayed since with those so different yet so alike to me. I walk the boundary between two worlds. I am a mamba but know of your customs." With that she fell silent and leaned back slightly to await his reply.

[2010/07/30 22:08] Orpheus Fairlock: /me watched as she talked. And talked. And talked some more. And still she talked. He nodded politely at all the appropriate times, even managed a bit of a smile, as he pictured the happenings that she was narrating for him. His arms were a bit sore, and he had wounds of various types across his body, from all the savage fighting in which he had found himself in. Still he felt his ass pulse with pain where Hanna, the one captured with him now, had stabbed him only moments before Black Talon had raided for some reason. He hoped that Nocra would not ask him about the stupid stockpile like they had been before, it seemed they had their own stockpile to worry about down here. Finally, as his mind finished its wandering, her story was complete. It still did not explain why her presence was tolerated here, she had skirted that issue rather neatly still. But he didn't care that much about such things anyway, she had him in a tight bind now and the last thing he wanted to do was piss her off. He sighed, then pushed his weight back into the cross, letting it support him there. "So then, what is my fate now?" he asked of her. It really did NOT look good.

[2010/07/30 22:15] Nocra Neuman: /me She had no intention to harm him, unless he provoked such an act which thus far he hadn't. Despite her primitive nature, she held a few core beliefs....first, do not eat the weak for to do so is to inherent weakness....second, do not eat what you have not struck down with your own hand for that too is weakness. He was not a woman or slave so clearly he was not weak, but he had not fallen to her own hands and so unless he acted extremely foolish, he would be safe for the time being. She did not ask of the stockpile considering she already knew where it lay and how to get into it and unless they had moved its location she was certain she could find it for the Talon Boss again. Instead her interest lay elsewhere. "A hand ago a man of your lands came here and stole from me. He was a beastly man, with a long beard and tall.", she described Din as best as she could recall hoping he might know whom she spoke of. "I want back what he took from me. I have gone into your lands many times in search of it."

[2010/07/30 22:18] Orpheus Fairlock: /me looked at her, she described the man as best she could, he was sure, but that was nearly quarter of the men in the North. He hoped she didn't want him to instantly know who the hell it was she was talking about, because he didn't. Still, she seemed to be speaking cryptically, withholding information, and he was a curious sort, in fact his curiosity had gotten him into many many situations. To satisfy himself he asked her "And what was it that this mysterious man stole from you?"

[2010/07/30 22:23] Nocra Neuman: /me She adjusted her rump where his knee was jutting up into and crouched a bit to the side of his legs to relieve the strain from his thighs a bit. "I tracked him to the lands of Skerry, he lived in a large house on a cliff. On top of his home is a great statue of a woman with the wings of a bird.", she explained a bit more, "It was an item of great value to me. Something I have kept with me, treasured and protected for far too long for memory to recall." She reached then into a pouch and produced in her palm the head of a small doll, so old and worn that its painted features had long since faded and the stitches as thin as a strand of hair. "This is all he left of it with me...he took the rest and stuffed it into his belt to taunt me. I will do anything to retrieve it. Tell me the best way to get back my possession from him and perhaps you will live to tell this tale of how you once met a mamba queen and lived."

[2010/07/30 22:28] Orpheus Fairlock: A look of revelation passed over his face as she clearly now spoke of Din. A brief "Ah hah!" graced his lips, but died there before he uttered irt. But the look of recognition on his face would be unmistakable, there was no way that she would have missed it. He was never good at hiding his thoughts, they danced upon his face as clearly as the bawdiest kajirae dancing in the filthiest of taverns. He shrugged, though bound, and pierced her directly with his gaze. "Why, you speak of our High Jarl, of course" he wasn't really revealing much, since she had already tracked him to his home. "I don't know why he would steal your doll, and, more importantly, I have absolutely no idea how to wrest if from his grasp." He thought to himself that it was rather odd that a grown man would steal a doll, what fetish would have motivated such a thing. And because of this, it might be well-nigh impossible to part the man from his doll.

[2010/07/30 22:34] Nocra Neuman: /me "You shall not leave until you have given me a possible plan to retrieve it. So here you shall sit until you can think of something. I've exhausted every plan I can think of. Five times now I have ventured to the lands of Skerry to seek it. I've crept among your people, hunted each inch of every home and even stole something of his I thought he might value enough to trade what is mine back to me. An old helm of what seemed to be of value was found in his home, I have it hidden still. I even left the mark of the Black Talon in its place so that he would know who had taken it. But yet he did not come. So that leave me to assume he did not value it or he fears me.", she grinned darkly and tapped the side of his head leaning forward a bit, "So think well, you give me a better plan and perhaps you shall be released. If you value life I suggest you help me with my mission." She knew now it was up to him, the debate he must make between valuing his own life or betraying his high Jarl.

[2010/07/30 22:37] Orpheus Fairlock: /me sighed "Maybe he does not realize what is going on...perhaps if I were to tell him that you had that helm, that you were looking for your errm...doll torso...then he might take it upon himself to come trade for it with you...but, if he is a serious doll collector, all bets are off."

[2010/07/30 22:37] Nocra Neuman: /me Curses venomously hearing Jesses muffled call and the ring of the alarm bell and jolts to her feet drawing her weapon as she did.

(Insert MORE pew pew here... Result Skerry 2 = Talon 1 boo!)

Rescuing Emme (Attempt #6)

[2010/07/29 06:13] Nocra Neuman: /me Stalked her way up to the peak of the hill having spotted the man there from her view no the docks. Halting before him she spoke and kept watch on the seemingly quiet lands around her. "You...man I do not know...are you from these lands?", she asked bluntly and canted her head slightly to the side awaiting his reply.

[2010/07/29 06:18] Lasher Xue: /me , having only just woken from this very spot and stood, could only hear the footsteps approach; they were light, so he assumed it would be a woman of some sort. He squinted as the sunlight wove its way beneath his eyelids, and a hand was raised to block it out and hopefully see who had thought it a good idea to disturb the man prior to his first cup of blackwine. She spoke and he assumed from her timber and choice of poorly spoken words, that it must be one of the women that claimed the forests as their home. "I'm from wherever I say I'm from," he answered in a half-groggy, half-annoyed tone. "Either state your business or move along," he set his jaw, teeth fairly grinding as he waited; he only hoped she wasn't as stupid as the last panther that put herself in his path. It was far too early for all that.

[2010/07/29 06:23] Nocra Neuman: /me Her attempt to be civil seemed to go unnoticed by him and she swung her head in his direction gazing towards him with a blank stare. Orbs as dark as a moonless sky slid over the hills of muscle spanning his chest and torso. He was bigger than she was, though nearly everyone was in comparison to her pint size. Yet, his impressive size did not trouble her much, should there be conflict she was certain that she could outrun him. "I come for something of mine that was taken by a man from here.", she responded curtly. Her tone was thickly accented as only one of the schendi jungles could be, clearly not a panther of the north. If he had studied her close enough perhaps he would notice the adornments which would make it clear as to what she was.

[2010/07/29 06:54] Lasher Xue: /me sighed as his vision finally cleared, glancing at the girl momentarily before scanning the grounds as was his habit. He was extremely tired and really had no care for what was hers or what was not hers, or whether whatever it was she were looking for resided here or in Turia. "Speak with someone else on this," he grumbled at the creature, and whether she were panther, taluna or slave, mattered even less to him. "Perhaps someone in the village can help you, I haven't the time. Nor inclination." He turned and looked towards the docks, empty; no ship to garner the supplies he needed. He would have to travel to a larger city he supposed. These were the things that were on his mind, the girl in front of him almost -- almost, forgotten.

[2010/07/29 06:59] Nocra Neuman: /me She had not expected much in the way of assistance from the man, he had been silent for far too long and in fact when he spoke at last she was slightly surprised that he had even bothered at all to speak since his statement was truly unhelpful. "There were none in the village when I first checked it.", replied the mamba, "The man I seek is large, obnoxious and has a beard as long as the vosk." She pressed offering the best description of Din that she could recall. "Do you know when he is around to reach him?" Again she looked towards him and waited with an eerie sense of patience. Spotting the woman rush upon them her body tensed slightly though she made no motion to draw arms and spoke loud enough for her words to carry, 'Tal woman."

[2010/07/29 07:01] Jalen Francois: /me pondered being called a woman for a moment as her own sense of free being flooded her for only a slight moment before she crashed to her knees. She wasn't about to get beaten and thrown in a cage again by Corey, thus, she decided to mind her manners: "Tal there Mistress feral maybe panther not really sure what you are person!" She sat in the mud and paused. "Oh, Tal to you too Jarl..." this was a bit less friendly and more hesitant know he was probably the start of this whole collar idea in Corey's head. Yes, Jalen blamed him for it.

[2010/07/29 07:06] Lasher Xue: /me seeing that annoying woman that usually brought trouble with her wherever she went, he smiled briefly; not for her, but for himself. There now would be someone else to deal with this.. this.. well, whatever she was. He turned his gaze once more to the docks, hoping a merchant vessel had somehow silently come to port, but of course it wasn't to be. "I don't care." His answer was impatient and to the point. He had no cause to speak to the woman, noting that as he'd looked towards her when she spoke her teeth were filed in that grotesque manner he so hated. Mamba, he assumed, and his skin almost shrank from his body entirely. He weren't afraid of the creature, rather he found her loathe and disgusting; he had nothing further to say to her, nor would he share the small plot of land between them any longer. She was, actually, quite lucky that he had something more pressing to attend to rather than take the time to properly dispose of her. He left, recognition towards the slave not offered.

[2010/07/29 07:09] Jalen Francois: /me twiddles her thumbs awkwardly glad to see Lasher was his usual angry self...and then...Jalen spotted a cute thingie on the docks. Yes. Must have...cute baby bosk. "Be well Mistress!" Jalen said as she ran towards the water to leap within, heading her way right to the bosk.

[2010/07/29 07:10] Nocra Neuman: /me "I am neither of those things. Feral nor panther.", she replied frankly but did not openly say what exactly she was. It was unlikely those of her kind were welcomed in such lands as these and it was commonly wisest to conceal such facts with a man the size of the one beside her in range of reaching distance. She wasn't foolish enough to press her luck regardless of how brave faced she might appear. Yet as he fled her tension faded and her posture relaxed slightly. The man had been a thorn in her side and she was glad to be rid of him. Turning back to the slave she spoke briskly seeking some information, "Girl, can you answer then what I need to know? I'm looking for a man who has something of mine I want back. He's a beastly fellow...with a flowing dark beard..", she explained describing once more Din's appearance.

[2010/07/29 07:12] Jalen Francois: /me pauses mid-gallop as she frowns, her eyes on the docks where the creature was before turning back to the woman. "I...." she was distracted, in a tizzy over the creature. "Want...." she added, her brain malfunctioning over the adorableness. "I mean, uh...well there is a Jarl I know named Frank with a huge beard who works at the fishing area. Then, another Jarl named Din who my own Jarl Corey often aggrivates over magical beards but I am not quite sure what he does...or how he does it....or where he may be." She furrowed her brows hoping her answer made sense. "They both have beards, though, for my Jarl often craves the beard. He finds them to be powerful, but cannot grow one of his own."

[2010/07/29 07:14] Nocra Neuman: /me Couldn't help but crack a smile at the slaves ramblings, "Din yes that is the one I seek, I remember now the name my sister mentioned. Do you know when he is around these lands?", she pressed and followed the path of the slaves gaze leading down to the docks where a cluster of people were gathered around some small creature.

[2010/07/29 07:16] Jalen Francois: /me once more her gaze glinted over to what appeared to be a tiny baby bosk, perhaps even dwarf sized as she groaned and squirmed in the mud. If there was thing Jalen loved -- it was cute baby animals. What girl didn't? "Well, that particular Jarl has a bit of a finicky habit of being around....but usually later in the day is when I see him emerge, Mistress." It was true, Jalen only saw Din around in the afternoons or evenings. She clasped her hands together in her lap and smiled at the woman.

[2010/07/29 07:17] Nocra Neuman: /me "Go on then...", she answered and gestured downhill to where the slaves eyeballs seemed to be glued. "You have been helpful to me." With that she spun away and soundlessly padded down hill with a sure step being cautious not to slip on the enbankment.

[2010/07/29 07:18] Jalen Francois: /me runs over to the docks and sees the furry friend was gone. "What....." Jalen looks around desperately: "NOOOOOOOOO!" She says in a rage and flops over, teary-eyed.

[2010/07/29 07:19] Nocra Neuman: /me Steps onto the vessel docked in place and gaze a sharp look back to the lands behind here where the slave seemed to be throwing some form of a temper tantrum. Grinning mischievously she headed over to a sack of sa-tarna grain and plopped her bottom down upon it planning to nap there in the warmth of midday light while they sailed onwards.

Rescuing Emme (Attempt #5)

[2010/07/29 00:41] Nocra Neuman: /me "Needs to go check something. Going to scout Skerry, I bees sneaky and come back soon.", she answered while heading down the steps. She had planned to retrieve her bow and club Nos had taken from her and left at the fence the day prior. If it was still there she would collect her weapons and check Dins house again for her doll.

(Sails)

[2010/07/29 00:47] Nocra Neuman: /me Crept off the ship slinking low against the dock in a crouching motion. Her gaze washed over the lands she had scouted numerous times before, but no sign of Nos nor Din could be seen. She cursed darkly and turned her attention to the slave nearby, "You bond girl, come here.", she demanded.

[2010/07/29 00:48] Venom Vemo: /me blinks at the Mistress.. she shades her eyes from the sun after watching the Jarl sail rudely away .. then moved closer to the Huntress " ahhh yes Huntress?" she would say looking at her with question in her eyes..

[2010/07/29 00:50] Nocra Neuman: /me "I am no huntress...", she growled in slight offense, "I hate tree girls, they are a blight on the world." With a swift motion she snapped her hand towards the girl attempting to get a firm hold on her golden hair planning to use it as a leash if successful. "Beg my forgiveness and call me Mistress.", she demanded fiercely.

[2010/07/29 00:54] Venom Vemo: /me gets a huge fright as the Mistress yanked at her hair. Fucker frowns lowering her head abit to loosen the grin of the Mistresses strong Hang but found it useless.. " ahhh yes Mistress.. this beast is sorry for being so ignorant, please forgive this girl Mistress.. " the women dressed alot like a panther.. or a Mamba .. and it was only normal to get the two mixed up .. she wasnt a slave, and fucker knew that by the way she spoke.. goose bumps ate at her skin and she whispers.. " Girl is sorry Mistress.. please forgive her.."

[2010/07/29 00:57] Nocra Neuman: /me "I forgive you beast but you will help Nocra in two tasks while I am here.", she explained, her eyes blazing with wildness and a spark of intelligence. "I am here on a mission to retrieve some things of mine. It may be dangerous alone to do so I need a watcher. Come with me now." With that she stood promptly and keeping a firm grasp on the girls sun stained mane towed her along behind her.

[2010/07/29 00:58] Venom Vemo: /me nods.. " Ohh yes Mistress right away ,. " she was happy to help out as much as she could .. with that fucker got up on her heals and ran behind the Mistress..

[2010/07/29 00:59] Nocra Neuman: /me Points ahead to the woman, "Halts, who are you."

[2010/07/29 00:59] Venom Vemo: /me whispers.. " Mistress .. what are we doing ,. if i may ask Mistress?"

[2010/07/29 01:00] Reba Adder: /me stopped and raised a brow, still gripping the carpet as she stopped, huffing slightly and shaking her head. "I was asked to come get this carpet and bring it to get cleaned. That's all. Not causing anyone any problems."

[2010/07/29 01:01] Venom Vemo: /me smiles looking at the Mistress Reba.. she waves at her like a craxy person.. " GREEETING MISTRESS!!"

[2010/07/29 01:02] Reba Adder: /me blinks slightly at the crazy waving and nods back, still dropping the carpet as she didn't want to stand around forever holding it up and she needed to get it cleaned...

[2010/07/29 01:02] Nocra Neuman: /me "Around this bank I was bound yesterday. A man removed from me a special bow and club carved of bone. I am looking for these things.", she answered to the slave then addressed the female wearing an unusual top that seemed to glow in an unnatural color she had never seen before. "I see...and I don't care. You will help me look for my things as well.", she commanded in a tone that demanded respect and obedience from any she spoke to, slave and free alike.

[2010/07/29 01:05] Venom Vemo: /me nods looking to both Mistresses, fucker bites on her bottom lip knowing Mistress Reba to well, she was not the sort to be spoken like that, fucker lowers her head and stays silent .. until she was spoken too .. good way to keep her from being in trouble anyways..

[2010/07/29 01:05] Reba Adder: /me raised a brow at the woman and shook her head. "Sorry toots, can't help you there. I don't know anything about any bow and if I don't go and get this carpet cleaned my ass is on the line. But I can't tell you the house around the bend is empty at the moment so should be anyone to stop you from finding your things. I wish you the best of luck as I must now be on my way." She hefted the carpet back up in her grip. "Besides, you already got help. You know what they say about too many cooks in the kitchen. There's a lot of them."

[2010/07/29 01:09] Nocra Neuman: /me She gazed to the woman with such a heated expression that could have melted stone had she tried hard enough perhaps. She was use to getting what she wished and that would never change. Nocra was old but still retained her youthful appearance, yet it was plain to see she held high rank among those in her clan. "I do not care how many are helping me. You will assist as well and once I have found my things, then you may go on your way." She glanced down to the slave and motioned the girl away with her left hand. "Search first by those planks, there is where I was."

[2010/07/29 01:11] Venom Vemo: /me nods looking up at the Mistress.. " Ohh yes Mistress right away Mistress.. " then hurried her ass off to find what was hers just where the Mistress told fucker to go

[2010/07/29 01:13] Reba Adder: /me shrugged her shoulders at the woman, hands gripping the carpet tighter still. "Uh, sure. I'll just go up this hill here and check the other side of the cabin, see if he maybe tossed it and hide it. These swamp people are tricky folks. You should probably check in the house behind you too. You never know where they might hide something." She called out, now starting to drag the carpet up the hill to her side. "I just have to keep this thing with me. I loose it, I'm in trouble. I'm sure we'll, uh, find it."

[2010/07/29 01:15] Nocra Neuman: /me Nodded once at the womans words confident that she was running along to help look. "Yes, you do this.", she answered while spinning around to go see if Venom had found it yet. "Well?", she asked calling over louder than she probably needed to at this distance. "You find it yet beast?"

[2010/07/29 01:19] Venom Vemo: /me looks every where under logs and long grass and other annoying things.. she found gross bugs too with strage dots on the back and really long legs.. " ewwwww" she whispers to her self as she backed back from the log with the bugs, fucker looked over by the tree and behind it, she saw the prittest flowers .. she was about to pick them but shook her head,.. " no!!" she didn't want to anger the women, but up by the hill she saw something that caught her eyes.. " is that a.." she walks closer and grins really big and shouted " Mistress .. Mistresss look lookey here.. is this ya bow?" she shouted at the women a huge smile playing on her face.. it looked just like the Mistress said and if it wasnt her Bow fucker would be so disapointed .. she grabs the bow and holds it up in the air.. " Mistresssssss look what i findededed"

[2010/07/29 01:19] Reba Adder: /me blinks and nods slowly, shocked as all get out that that one had actually worked. She was going to have to start writing some of this shit down. She continued to drag the carpet up the side of the hill, only stopping once as she made it to the top. She dropped the edge of the carpet and tucked down, starting to look around and grabbing clumps of moss and dirt off the ground and tossing them over the side of the hill as though she were frantically searching for something. "Damn! I'm not seeing it! You can looking down there, I'm sure it'll turn up!" For the grand finale she grabbed a large rock and hurled it carelessly over the edge, gripping the end of the carpet again and muttering, knowing she had to get the stolen goods out of here and now. "Shit! Still nothing! Any luck down there?!" She called before throwing her small body into overdrive, now dragging the carpet as quickly as could towards the edge of the land where she hide one village over and make the shirt that she need before anyone caught her

[2010/07/29 01:24] Nocra Neuman: /me she padded over quickly hearing the girls excited call and lunged upon the bow laying there. "Mine!", she shouted in surprise and affection then lovingly cradled the bones in her arm and swayed it back and forth as if holding a child. She studied each bend searching for any signs of damage but found none. Exhaling a breath of relief she slung it over the wings of her shoulders and secured it back into place. She still had two more things to obtain in Skerry and one should be nearby still. "My club...its short and bone with spikes. It should be near my bow..", she insisted and stood upright running her gaze down the length of the boards to search for it.

[2010/07/29 01:28] Venom Vemo: /me she nods at the Mistress happy that the Mistress was happy and walked up the Hill abit more looking both ways on the ground, fucker bites her bottom lip then turns around. Fucker was good at finding things , it was now one of her meny skills, and what do ya know, fucker runs over the back of the hunt to find what looked like a club .. she leans down and picks it up, her eyes widen and she would again shout over the Mistress.. " MISTRESSS!! i findeded it i found it, " she runs over to her holding the strange stick thing and shows her just about out of breath.. " is ..... is this it Mistress.. is this your club Mistress?" she would say before she would plonk her ass down at her foot still holding the Mistresses club thing in the air .. and waiting for her to grab it .. her safe (( weapons)) that fucker found..

[2010/07/29 01:32] Nocra Neuman: /me She beamed suddenly exposing her teeth as she did so. "Wonderful!", she cried out claiming the hilt of the club in one hand and swung it in a wide arch testing its balance. With a nod she replaced it onto a ring on her belt and rolled her shoulders back. "You did well jira, who owns you?"

[2010/07/29 01:35] Venom Vemo: /me claps seeing the Mistress happy, fucker beams then looks around for a small stick, finding one she looks for a soft part of the moist ground and wright her Mistresses name in the dirt.. " Mah Mistresses name is -Jalilah- fucker points to the ground that showed the other Mistress who her Mistress was..

[2010/07/29 01:39] Nocra Neuman: /me She nodded once as she listened then looked to the hill nearby where Dins hut was as she recalled. But the lands seemed quiet this time and she doubted he was there. "Seems I will need to return to retrieve my last item, it is in the possession of a bearded man but at least I have my weapons back for this I am glad. Here...take this...", she reached into a pouch on her belt and produced a small feather of onyx hue, the tip was spotted in a pattern so intricate and unique that there was no others she had ever found like it. "I wish you well jira, I must return to my lands before I am seen here without my family."

[2010/07/29 01:41] Venom Vemo: /me smiles taking the Mistresses gift, fucker smiles real big and whispers.. " ohh wow thank you Mistress, thank you so much!! May the odins watch over you Mistress no matter where your foot may roam.." she smiles again and waves at the Mistress and waited for her to leave before fucker would take the boat back home.

Rescuing Emme (Attempt #4)

[2010/07/27 17:23] Evhalyn Serpente: /me cups her hands to her mouth and yells.."INCOMING!!!"

[2010/07/27 17:24] Orpheus Fairlock: /me shouted "Lots of Strangers at the stockades!"

[2010/07/27 17:24] Joshua Pilote: shouts: so surround us so you have the advantage

[2010/07/27 17:25] Cailyn Rowlands: /me feels a surge of adrenalin course through her veins… reaches for her bow, she then carefuly sets an arrow

(Insert A LOT of combat here and pew pew news. Result: Skerry 1= BT 0)

[2010/07/27 17:30] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me kicks her legs together, he then crouches down as he shifts his hand to his belt, pulling a capture fiber from it wrapping it around her legs tightly in a figure of 8 securing them tightly together with a capture knot

[2010/07/27 17:30] Nocra Neuman: /me Takes a nap in some blood moss and snores loud and obnoxiously.

[2010/07/27 17:31] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me forces nocra's arms behind her back and shifts his hand to his belt once more, pulling a fiber from it and wrapping it around the female's wrists, tightly securing them together with a capture knot

[2010/07/27 17:32] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me wrapped another rope around her waist to use as a leash a tied it to his belt to leave his hands free while pulling her

[2010/07/27 17:34] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me waited for the ropes to rez and looked over to doc "yes it is, how are you doing?"

[2010/07/27 17:36] Nocra Neuman: /me Waking from her force enduced nap, she realized two things instantly. The first, that she had been bound but the second was that thankfully she had yet to be disarmed. As he dragged her across the slick swamp grass she turned onto her side so that her dagger would not get stuck in the mud and lost.

[2010/07/27 17:47] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me had pulled her to a rather quiet place and then slipped his body under her body and rolled her over "tal" he simply greeted as he recognized her face "what brings you here in such an armed expedition if i might say?" he inquired her with a grin as he leaned down to her to search for any weapon she might had, he grabebd the bow from her back and moved it to the side and placed it nextto the wooden planks then searched for more

[2010/07/27 17:50] Nocra Neuman: /me When at last they halted in some remote area she winced then exhaled. "I don't see the point of dragging women, are you not a man able and strong enough to carry me? I'm surprised really that more captives do not get choked to death or break bones over some terrain they are dragged across...", she muttered in a foul mood. Her side was lined with small cuts and dotted with the beginning marks of bruises from the stones and rough sticks she had been towed over, though she bit her bottom lip and forced back the pain knowing that to complain too much might mean an even worse experience. As his hands began to creep over her, plucking at her weapons she struggled to contain her anger and answered simply, "To retrieve what was stolen from me but also to gather supplies." Her answer was honest, she had no reason to lie, "But the wind was not on our side when we arrived and your group was able to have an advantage."

[2010/07/27 18:00] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me grabbed what seemed to be a club from her back and also placed it by the planks next to the bow then shook his head "the old and mostly grass of these swamps help on with the dragging, i rather to drag" he simply said in reply then moved his shoulders slightly up and down in a shrug "to retrieve something stolen? and what is that?" he simply inquired her as it left him curious, the supplies part is more understandable "and what supply you were expecting to get?" hasded her aswell. he sat on the ground next to her as he checked her for any other weapons that could be used in her advantage "yes it seems that way, the winds here in the north tend to flow in our favor" he said with a grin

[2010/07/27 18:05] Nocra Neuman: /me She squirmed a bit trying to get more comfortable, though the frown did not fade from her lips. She hated to lose and it was difficult for the strong willed vocal woman to attempt to be humble. "The day your friends came to rescue you, a man bound me...as he did so he took the most important thing of value to me. He ripped off its head and left that part with me and took the rest. Two sisters and I tracked him to these lands and found his hut, In return I took something of his...a helm. But my plan did not work, he did not come to retrieve it and hopefully trade his item for mine. So tonight, I thought to come and try again." She turned slightly gazing upwards to him as he stole her weapons and wrapped in binds it was difficult not to feel a bit intimidated, though her features remained void of expression...something she had learned long ago to master.

[2010/07/27 18:14] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me had noticed a blade on the back o her belt and then he grabbed it, sheathing it immediately on his own belt and nodded twice "i see" he said in reply to her "the name of that man, you know?" he asked her with a small shrug while thinking on her words about some coming and tracking the man's hut " you put the villager's life at risk and that should not be tolerated" he said with a nod "have you ever heard of the name i said before when being held by yourself, the name of the man who stole some supplies from us" he asked her just curious

[2010/07/27 18:17] Nocra Neuman: /me "I do not know his name...but he was large, grim looking and had a lengthy dark beard.", she explained doing her best to describe what Din looked like. As he took her final dagger, she cursed venomously and held back the urge to glare. Remaining calm was not one of her fortes considering she was never captured and had limited practice at it. "I do not recall the name of the man you spoke of.", she answered curbing the bitterness ringing in her accented tone.

[2010/07/27 18:28] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /em nodded as he heard her words about a beard, there was some with a beard but only one to be recognized for it and shrugged "have you ever came to this village to try to speak with the man itself? perhaps to know about the thing you lost" he asked her curious then poked her with his boot "those supplies you spoke of, which supplied were you after?" he inquired her as he searched on last time for any valuables she could have with her bit did not found anything left but a ribcage that seemed to be used as some sort of protection to her own body then paused for a while as he tried to remember the name himself but he had also forgot as he really never got any information about it but a lie "you name?" he questioned her as he never got to know hers the last time they had met

[2010/07/27 18:34] Nocra Neuman: /me "No...I did not come to speak. He knew its importance to me when he took it. I warned him and after he knew its value to me, he broke it intentionally just to be cruel.", she replied in a flash of sudden anger recalling the incident. "The supplies...we discovered them earlier this week when searching for his hut, there is a store room below your tavern in some caves containing food and drink." She wrestled with the binds, unable to stop herself from squirming as her fingertips and toes began to grow numb from lack of proper circulation. "I am known as Nocra by my people.", she answered proudly, "And yours?" Her dark eyes swept over him studying his features in silence.

[2010/07/27 18:39] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me couldn't help but to release a slight chuckle as he heard what din did "the overbeard of Einar is not to be played with" he simply said with a nod then raised a brow as he heard about the supplies "yes there are some crates and barrels underneath the tavern, its where we store the tavern's supplies and the village's as well" he said to her "a bold act, its what you and the others committed, but quite dangerous as her also need supplies and they run over from time to time" he said to her and nodded as he heard her name "well met then Nocra, i am Nos" he said without hesitation as a man's name was his greatest honour and should never be hidden

[2010/07/27 18:44] Nocra Neuman: /me "We are a bold clan.", she answered simply. "Your...Overbeard...committed an insult against me. And my people need food. The Black Talons leader thought perhaps we could kill two birds with one stone. But as I said earlier, the winds were in your favor giving you the advantage. I can not change the results of the battle. I realize I am in your binds and accept that fate. So I shall ask now one thing. What is your plans for me?" She resisted the urge to shudder. A wave of haunting images flashed through her mind. It was clear to see she was a mamba and it was unlikely for one such as her to be treated well in a situation such as capture.

[2010/07/27 18:56] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me nodded her words and smirked "the overbeard can.." it was all he said with a nod, he heard then her asking about his plans and shook his head "i shall warn you that your death might be a possibility" he said to her nodding either being a mamba and trying to steal the supplies this village needs" he replied and paused "i am curious, what did you wanted to inquire me more about it?" he asked her with a grin, she was indeed a mamba but " even when you held me prisoner you were kind enough and did not tried anything towards me" he said with a nod as he waited for her reply, he was indeed curious about what she wanted in inquire to him

[2010/07/27 19:02] Nocra Neuman: /me She spoke in a prideful manner, it was clear she was not the common form of mamba seen in recent times. She was older, wiser and better adjusted to both the world of the jungles and the laws of cities. "I do not partake a feast of flesh against one who was not claimed in battle by my own hand. Just as I do not against slaves or women. To do so would be to take weakness and I am not weak. I may be small but I have honor. My culture may be different than yours but I have learned your ways enough to know a thing or two. But I was curious. I had planned to speak with you about these lands, your family, your homestone, your caste, what news you could bring me of lands I have not been to. I enjoy learning of people, their ways and cultures...to do so makes me wiser and with information, I can better defeat my enemies again should our paths cross."

[2010/07/27 19:18] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me nodded hearing her again as she replied and explained her own intentions towards him as he was once held by her in her camp "so you know im of no caste, i am a mere man born and raised in the north which some actions made him leave to become an out law" he said with a nod "but after sometime i started slowly leaving the outlaw life and moved to this quiet fishing village where i simply live and do what i can to help the village and the villagers" he said to her with a nod then with the blade he took from her he leaned closer to her and sewed on the ropes that were holding her ankles together "there" he simply said as he stood up "i must say that it you did not seemed hostility towards for even one ihn while i was held, i am tired after this busy day in here and should rest" he said as he started trailing off and yanked slightly " come" he just said

[2010/07/27 19:21] Nocra Neuman: /me She masked her surprise as he unbound her feet with the slash of the dagger but didn't object to this new turn of events. She followed silently, struggling not to trip as the rope jerked from time to time. Uncertain of where she was being led she spent her time walking with observing which way they were going. The marshes were a tangled nest of huts and hills and made navigation difficult at times.

[2010/07/27 19:31] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me was still barely walking into the stockade as he was already hearing the yell of a woman, he shook his head and smirked "go look for yourself there such people are in here, i know nothing about them" he said with a nod then pulled nocra behind him and tied her leash to the mast of the boat and thrust the blade he took from her into a crate next to them "there you have your blade that you can use as you arrive to your home" he said with a nod and looked to the ship master "take her home if you do not wish her and as you arrive, giver her this blade so she can cut herself free" he said with a nod then stepped out of the boat "it passes for this time as i have the hint it would pass when it was me, but beware that your boldness leads to nowhere in these lands" he said nodding "what you lost to the bearded one, is most certainly lost forever to you, dont bother anymore" he warned her as it would be only better for her

[2010/07/27 19:36] Nocra Neuman: /me "I can not make to you that promise. I have already made a vow that I would retrieve what is mine, even if I must hunt the man to get it back for the next five hundred years. He was told this when he took it from me. If he does not want me to do so, then simply, he should give back what is mine. My issue was not with you Nos, but now you have taken from me as well. I suggest, my bow and club are tended for well while they remain in your care. Or you can come and return them to me when you have rested. Should you not do so...then I shall know you wish to have issue with me as well. I will leave the chose to you.", she replied before the plank of the ship was raised and the crew began to tug the sail lines allowing the ship to break away from the dock. "I wish you well until our paths cross again.", she called louder then fell silent.

[2010/07/27 19:44] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: /me nodded hearing her words "very well then, you risk yourself but its your life not mine" he said with a nod then shrugged slightly with a small movement of his shoulders "maybe you will see the weapons i took from you again but we will see about that sometime" he smirked as he then sail the boat slowly moving away from the shore "i wish you well" nocra and until some other time" he said with a nod

Rescuing Emme (Attempt #3)

2010/07/27 01:07] Nocra Neuman: /me Crept closer remembering the way to the hut she had discovered this week as Bones. "Yeller!", she called out spotting the back of her friend outside the door. Though the stranger behind her caught her attention moments later. The man she didn't recognize and her curiosity sparked wondering who he might be and what his dealings with Bone was. For now she hung back, awaiting a return to her greeting.

[2010/07/27 01:09] bone Breen: /me looks over her shoulder as she heard someone calls loud "yeller".....she groans loud not liking that name at all....her eyes search around knowing only the old clan members called her like that

[2010/07/27 01:11] Gen the Fallen (Gen Morane): /me glances over the shoulder of the women as the other greets her stepping back and glancing over, thinking this was the moment he needed to find his walking papers to this land

[2010/07/27 01:11] bone Breen: /me looked straight at nocra.....a grins was on her lips...."nocra"...she says...what brings ya here?"..she moved infront of the male behind her....her arms lightly spread as was she trie to hide him....

[2010/07/27 01:12] Nocra Neuman: /me A wild grin twisted upon her lips catching Bones reaction to the old nickname that had a disturbing past. "I'm heres to get back something stolen from me by one of these lands. I thought you should know there may be troubles. I don't wish to bring you trouble so if I fall, do not interfere.", she commanded then turned away promptly planning to head off and face Din.

[2010/07/27 01:15] bone Breen: /me narrowed her eyes hear nocra's words....some danger was to here in her tone....still she nods her head ....moved her hands on her ears and said...."mees no hear"...then she covers her eyes and said..."mees no sees"...before her small claws moved over her lips...."and mees no tal"...an evil grins was to see in bone's eyes....

[2010/07/27 01:18] Nocra Neuman: /me Smirked back to her friend and reached behind her ensuring the bone carved club was still hanging in place. Rolling back her shoulders she ventured off uphill recalling the way to Dins hut where she hoped to find him alone and asleep. If so perhaps she might be able to steal back what was heres without his notice, if not, there would be bloodshed...perhaps even her own. But what he had stolen from her was worth the risks of getting back and she had vowed to him when he had stolen it that she would hunt him until the day either one of them died.

(Searched but found no sight of Din or Emme and left Skerry)

Rescuing Emme (Attempt #2)

[2010/07/25 01:47] Nocra Neuman: Thinks this will end badly.

[2010/07/25 01:48] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: moved shrugged with a slight movement of his shoulders, he managed to understand some of the words "looking for some funs is it?" he questioned him not really understanding the words peef peef

[2010/07/25 01:49] Philip3465 Kharg: falls over upon his ass and begins to twirl around in circles on his back, "Jesss Jesss wets dooz dats"

[2010/07/25 01:50] Nocra Neuman: Locates my mentally challenged brother and looks nervously towards the cluster fuck of people. "This is not a good Idea lip, why did you run in here like an idiot? You trying to get us killed?", she asked snapping to Philip in a hushed tone. Her eyes twitched towards the group of people again, she recognized some and had enough common sense to know they were outnumbered. "LIP! We go NOW! You're so stupid, you can die if you want to, Nocra should have been an only child anyway."

[2010/07/25 01:52] Philip3465 Kharg: thrusts his hand down into his pouch and pulls out some kanda leaves shoving them into his mouth instantly. Chewing wildly upon the Kanda phil blinks wildly at the people then to nocra. He kicks at her with hiss foot, "Shoosh swiswa joo wuins dits "

[2010/07/25 01:52] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: slightly lifted his shoulders "and what do we have to do with you liking to have fun?" he questioned the male then looked to the side as he recognized one female from a previous encounter, he nodded slightly to them as a greet

[2010/07/25 01:52] Ravyn Navarathna: steps up behind the two mamba's wondering if they didnt eat something that messed with their brains.. and glanced at the assembled, thinking this was NOT good.. but, tried to be all nonchalant about the whole thing.. and Phil wanting to play made her groan slightly. Stopping by Noc she leaned down and whispered.. 'was he in the kanda?'

[2010/07/25 01:57] Nocra Neuman: Her eyes narrowed into savage slits catching sight then of Din in the distance, it took every ounce of strength she could muster to simply not act a fool and rush upon the man who had something she wanted back with a passion. But now was not the time nor place and she was patient enough to wait for a better opportunity than this to retrieve her stolen goods. "Yes, he is in the kanda.....AGAIN! I shall cut out his tongue and make him a mute if I must at this rate.", she growled casting a glare of frustration in her retarded siblings direction. She felt his kick and winced but bit down harshly upon her bottom lip to prevent herself from crying out and appearing weak. Flicking a glance in Nos's direction she spoke to the man she had held hostage the day prior but had managed to escape. "You are well...you live yes..good...we shalll be going now...right Lip?"

[2010/07/25 01:59] Philip3465 Kharg: flips up upon his feet and twirls around staring at the m all. Stopping he begins to sway back and forth as he stares at Nocra, "Nocawak jooo shhh." He says waving a finger back and forth before hsi face. Taking a few wildly loos step s he turns back facing the men, "so jo wanz to pway "

[2010/07/25 02:01] Ravyn Navarathna: sighs, thinking this may take a while, contemplating leaving Phil to 'pway' while she snuck out... hey, she wasnt a coward, but she wasnt stupid either.. glancing at Noc, seeing if she was gonna grab his ear or somfin, and drag him out.. or leave him here to play with the kanda.. Glancing back at Amir, she gave him a sharp nod and stepped back slowly..

[2010/07/25 02:03] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: simply nodded as he heard nocra's words "aye i am well and so are you i see" he said to her "you are not in the easiest situation tho" he added then looked down the the male once more, he did not understood all the words he was saying but soe he could recognize then looked to the others that came with him "well i dont think this is the best way to treat someone special, shouldn't let him around like that" he said with a nod trying to understand what he meant with play

[2010/07/25 02:05] Nocra Neuman: Groaned openly at her brothers moronic behavior, even a blind man could clearly see that these were not the sort of people you simply walked into their encampment to ask to borrow a cup of sugar. "Damned you, If you wasn't mine blood Lip I'd have slit your throat while you slept...", she muttered to him, it was the closest thing he'd ever received as something as a compliment but not really. "I'll remember to put a leash on him next time we go out hunting...and a gag...or maybe cage him and leave him home all together. EVERYTIME! I can't take him anywhere without him doing something to embarrass me."

[2010/07/25 02:09] Philip3465 Kharg: scratches his ass and walks up to nocra. Stopping a few feet from her blows a raspberry at her. He disliked listening to his sister. She was boring and old. Looks over to the man before him, "you thinks lips bee especial"

[2010/07/25 02:11] Ravyn Navarathna: flashes the swamp people a grin, wondering if the moss grew as thick in other places as it did on the men's chin, but decided she really REALLY didnt want to know.. 'Nocra.. grab your brother and lets go..' she whispered through clenched teeth, forcing the smile, listening to these two argue, they could be here all night, and that was so not what she wanted to do, the swamp made her itchy, and she really didn't like the smells.. sounds.. or anything for that matter.. place made her depressed really, dank water, and bugs.. suppressing a shudder, she glanced at Phil and then back at Amir.. thinking now would be a good time to beat feet..

[2010/07/25 02:13] NosferatuAlucard Ulrik: nodded as he heard nocra speak, a small grin formed on his lips with her words "yes, perhaps that would be the best option" he smirked out then looked down to the male once more "oh you are special and there is nothing wrong on wanting to play, yet this isnt a playground, i recommend to search for it in another land" he said

[2010/07/25 02:15] Nocra Neuman: Her eyes rolled skywards as she looked to him, "Yes...you're very special...", she answered sincerely then exhaled a breath of relief as he seemed to at least be planning to go now and stop instigating for a fight they would be unlikely to win. Nocra was a tactical person, she preferred to have the upper-hand in any battle and parading in asking enemies to "play" was not the wisest decision. Despite how much he irritated her at times, she did care for him but never would openly admit it. "Be well tuusies, we shall meet again.", she answered with a wild grin. Oh yes, their paths would cross again...Din still held something she wanted badly and Nos....she was annoyed he had escaped before she could question him.

[2010/07/25 02:19] Philip3465 Kharg: looks to the left thent o the right . Glancing back and forth with everyone here. Plops on his ass and begins to rub his chin. Back and forth he looked at everyone he, "Sway or pway stay or pway" he kept saying over again. He stopped and looks at nos. Shakes his shoulders and looks to nocra and proceeds to walk out .

Rescuing Emme (Attempt #1)

[23:18] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna peers at Nocra.. 'What are we looking for again?' she whispered softly, not wanting to alert anyone who lived here..

[23:18] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Enters the first hut peeking through the curtain and motions for Cai and Ravyn, "Is a doll, he cut the head off it. Should be really olds looking and many stitches and has a brown leather thigh strap."

[23:19] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna nods, thinking that should stand out pretty well... 'got ya...' wondering where Din hung his hat now a days..

[23:19] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands followed behind the two... she herd her mother talk of the doll and she nodded... she loved to tout that thing around...

[23:20] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna rummages thru a few crates and couches, but nothing looked like it belonged to Din, nor looked like a doll with no head.. sighing, she peered out and exited.
[23:21] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Had never told anyone the story of where it had come from or why she had clung onto it her entire life, but anyone who knew her well enough, knew that she never went anywhere without it. Searching the room all she could find was a candle, so she took that and moved on to the next place.

[23:21] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands moved to closed to the building keeping an eye out as the two searched the dwellings... she stayed in teh shadows spying the pair on teh distant roof top "keep close to the buildings I think we are watched"

[23:22] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Pushed open the unlocked door and sighed, "Just cages in here...not good place for us to be me thinks."

[23:23] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Enters another shack as Cai kept watch, again the hut was mostly empty but she took time to search under the barrels and cloth for what she sought.

[23:24] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna sighs, wondering where Din was staying.. his stench should give the place away...' We will find it.. promise'

[23:24] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman "This hut reminds me of a mamba place...see all these bone things?", she gestured to the remains which wear human scattered around the floor and the skull nearby on a crate.

[23:24] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands moved from house to house.. she felt as if they lingered too long and all the eyes of the town were watching them.. but her mother was suborn she looked about hoping that the eyes stayed only curious for now..

[23:24] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna waves to Cai.. 'get in! hurry!' she whispered

[23:25] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman "Its not here either...", she hissed angrily wishing she knew which of the dozen or so homes belonged to Din.

[23:26] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna pressed her ear to the wall, listening for movement, and voices, wondering if it was clear to exit the house.. Glancing to Cai and Noc, she placed a finger to her lips, for silence, not wanting them to get caught before they found what they were looking for...

[23:28] Nocra Neuman: "I have an idea.... we get a huge empty crate and all three of us pretend its really heavy and wear masks so no one can say they know us...right...then we say we are a shipping company and that he hired us to bring something to his house for him and we walk in and ask someone to just show us the way.", she thought it was a brilliant plan, insane, but brilliant never-the-less.

[23:29] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna glanced at Nocra and bit back a laugh, thinking it might work.. but then again, it might just land them in a cell too.. giving a silent chuckle, she peered out the doorway and window, not seeing anyone, she pressed her ear to the wall once more, listening..

[23:30] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands nodded as she moved to ward the side wall pressing an ear agaist it.. she heard the faint sounds of people... she herd her mother "I think I have a cloke stashed away at home some where" she giggled softly but her eyes darted to the door... she hated not knowing where all the bodies were at

[23:31] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Recognized something in the corner, a pillow, and while it might be a common item...this one she recognized as the one she had stained and hand woven for bone. "I know who's hut this is, we are safe at least in here. Bone and Rahls home it must be."

[23:32] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna glances at Noc, bringing her ear from the wall, and nods, a bit of a sigh of relief exiting her, but knowing they were far from out of the woods yet.. but, thinking they could at least be somewhat safe for the moment..

[23:32] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands let loose a sigh of relief and she walked about picking up the odd bits and ends about the cabin "thank the priest kings..." she whispered

[23:33] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands gets all coz feeling a bit exposed by the window

[23:34] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Cramped into the corner with Cai and Ravyn, listening for any signs of movement outside the cabin, "Which way do we go from here to search?", she whispered in a hushed tone.

[23:34] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna shifts slightly, trying not to make noise.. 'we need to go south.. its where the toher houses and buildings are..' she whispered softly..

[23:36] Sirus Ying: hearing some stuff moving around slightly raises hand up an chuckles with a tone , looking up staring over the house as he starts walking forwards..stoping easily he leans close and growls out."Who Goes There Speak your name's out right NOW ! "speaking into command easily raising his hand back grasping his sword tightly .

[23:37] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna bites her lip, barely breathing and freezes, not moving a muscle, as she heard the man outside the house.. turning eyes to Cai and Noc, she purses her lips, into a shhhhhh, silently.

[23:37] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands nodded listening and she leaned against the wall looking at the door periodical "well we can't stay held up in here all night.. but I think I hear people out there still.." and her heart sinks hearing the voice... she looks to Rav and Noc her heart pounding against her chest now as the adrenalin rushes through her

[23:39] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Leaned against the wall ever so slightly, her head canted to listen, she heard a voice bellow but held her silence and remained motionless. Whom ever it was would leave soon and then once they had, they would be able to slip out and continue their search.

[23:40] Sirus Ying: shake's his head lightly not knowing whats going out moving his stance back easily an relaxs himself breathing in softly , shaking his head thinking abit he growl's out with anger. "Darn it just the dam urt's crawling around , i swear one these day's ima just burn stuff down so it has to run out ." laughs softly turning himself around an walks around the house silently with his step's.

[23:41] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna looked down at Nocra.. lifting a hand, she plucked a bit of twig from her dark strands, wondering where it came from, then decided she really didn't wan to know.. her ears straining for sound, as the world silenced around them, and the man spoke.. almost heaving a sigh of relief..

[23:43] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman While they remained in Bones home, they were safe she knew but they couldn't stay here all night. They needed to get out without being seen and for that they would need a distraction. She wished there had been a window built into the back they could slip out of but there was only one entrance.

[23:44] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna shifts, not having heard anything for a few moments, and moves to the door, carefully poking her head out around the corner to see if anyone was about..

[23:45] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands slid down the wall slowly and sighed quietly looking between Rav and Noc... she wanted to crawl toward the window to see if he was really gone... but she didn't dare... she watched rav make the move... and she nodded..s he was dressed to hide in the shadows and moved up behind her peering carefully around the corner

[23:45] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna darts back behind the wall, baring her teeth as someone starts to come into view.. taking a deep breath, she glances at her two sisters and shakes her head..

[23:45] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands jumps back and grumbles as shes forced back into a corner

[23:45] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Thankfully it was well after dark and since it was a cloudly night, it could help conceal them as they crept around. "Shall we try throwing something?", she whispered into Ravs ear

[23:46] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna thought about that for a moment, 'in a few moments.. it may work, but if we move to the door, we will be seen.. 'her whisper, barely above a breath, as she struggled to remain silent.

[23:47] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman "Not if we throw something and they turn to chase after the sound....we could slip out then...", she suggested keeping her voice low.
[23:49] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna glances around at the sparse furnishing's..'This Din's?" she asked softly..

[23:49] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Searched the crate first since everything else seemed to be out in the open and with a sigh she turned away,"Just beans in here..."

[23:50] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna sighs.. ' stoopid Swampdwellers.. need to mark their home's better, so we know which one!' she hissed

[23:53] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands runs up to the house... the water levels seemed low... she smirked at the 'no tresspasing sign

[00:00] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna slips her bow off her shoulder, other hand withdrawing an arrow, places it against the string, ready for a fight.

[00:00] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands pulls out her leather fold, flicking her wrist it opens and all the tools lay out before her... it was handy she led the life of an outlaw for a time... and she just wouldn't mention this little escapade to Haz... she puled out the picks and took a knee looking at the lock

[00:01] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands then inserted the tools and she wiggled and moved them feeling out the tumblers..s he twisted and worked the lock... tension growing in the mechanism and the first tumbler fell pray..

[00:03] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands continued to work the picks in the lock she nearly had to start over and she lucked out catching the second tumbler as the pick slipped into place... her tongue peeked out of her mouth as she knelt before the lock... almost holding her breath as she worked

[00:04] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands tried to steady her hands.. it had been some time since she had worked magic with locks.. the pins move.. and the thirds and forth fall into place and finally the mechanism slips and she raises a hand to lift the leaver... she held her breath as her thumb pressed the latch

[00:05] Cailyn Rowlands: /me heard the click and a smile bloomed wide and she looked back at the two "were in my darlings..." she swing open the door and slipped the tools away folding up her pouch and tucking it in her belt

[00:09] Ravyn Navarathna: Where does this door lead?

[00:10] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands pears up through the cracks as best she can "bah it looks like the tavern.. she mutters softly...

[00:10] Ursuul KiranovUrsuul Kiranov cocks his head, thinking he heard voices. Probably Eden talking in her sleep again, fuckin bitch.

[00:11] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman "Not his house it seems... guess we need to keep looking.", she answered with an over dramatic sigh and turned away from the ramp planning to head back out the door Cai had just picked the lock to. For a moment she was tempted to steal some of the supplies here but now was not the time....they were on a mission.

[00:14] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands sighs as she faces another door to unlock.. she pulls out the leather fold once again and she crouches low examining it... she looks to her tooks and pulls out the same as before and she licks the tip of the slender once then inserted them into the lock to try ehr luck again

[00:15] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands twisted and turned the picks and the first tumbler fell easily into place.. the other door had warmed her up... she looked upon her work, and expression of deep concentration over her face... one would wonder if a hurt of bosk stampeding through would distract her...

[00:17] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands then worked the lock it was all coming back to her now, twidting and turning gingerly as she listened...then finally the tell tail click sounded... and she smiled and her hands rose to lift the latch to the door...

[00:17] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Paced around uneasily her mind distracted trying to think of where Din's home could be. It seemed as if they had search almost everywhere and yet, no sign of her possession could be found.

[00:17] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands pushed it open "here we go.." and she said with a smile.. she put her tools away once again...

[00:20] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman "Just a rug in here nothing else...", she called out to Rav in a stealthy whisper.

[00:20] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna rummages through the hammock, cause ya knever knew, he may be snuggling the thing for his daytime nap. and doesnt find it.. 'anything in there???'

[00:21] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman The fungus in here seemed fitting to the man they were looking for but alas no sigh in here of her doll either.

[00:22] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna slips in the curtained door, rummaging through the luggage, tossing clothes here and there, finding only woman's stuff.. 'Apparently not Din's.. unless there's something he isn't telling anyone.'

[00:22] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands moved out of the cave and grumbled looking through the trees in a hushed voice she whispered back to then "bah there people in the direction we need to go..."

[00:24] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Grinned finding the broken window on the right side of the house from the backside and points up to it, "Give me a boost I'm smallest and can peek in to see if anyone is in here before we go in."

[00:25] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna grins at the broken window, and sees the crate, stepping up, she carefully squeezes through the panes of glass, careful not to cut herself, and gasps as a piece falls to the floor.. But, she is the biggest of them all, so if she fits they all do... ' I got it, Noc...' Falling to the floor in a heap, she huffs, and smoothed out her skirt, and reaches threw to help nocra...

[00:25] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands comes upon the broken window to the side of the house... this had to be the place she thought they had looked everywhere.. she rose upon her tip toes.. and speared in,,, she heard her mother and stepped back and took a knee holding her hands out for her to step up

[00:26] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman With Cai's help she managed to get a boost and lifted into the dwelling, pulling herself through she tried to make sure not to get cut on the glass or make any sound.

[00:27] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands placed her hands on the ledge and grunted.. she hoisted her body up and crawled threw the window... she almost lost her balance but she caught her self..and crawled off the small cage onto the floor

[00:43] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Nocra Neuman Hunted around the large room and moved over to the brewery, she opened the lid and filled her bota with whatever brew it contained inside. Grinning she continued with her search, "Any idea who lives here?", she asked motioning to some papers on the table for Ravyn to read for her.

[00:44] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna smelt the paga before she turned and seen Noc pouring some, and curled her nose.. then seeing the papers, she flipped one around with her finger, and grinned, nodding.. 'Din..' was all she said, eyes lighting with a feral gleam, and grinning at Nocra and Cai...' Lets find it!'

[00:47] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna quickly scurries to some crates and starts rummaging thru them, lifting the lids and moving the contents around, piling them next to the boxes and finding.. nothing. Growling, she moves to the next, not caring to be careful anymore, she tosses things willy nilly here and there, seeking the doll that Noc was never seen without.. Clothes, furs, books, papers.. all tossed, floating and dropped next to the place that they had been stored as she searched.. her patience at an end.. 'Not finding it!' she hissed at Noc and Cai..

[00:49] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands looks about it seemed to be the place where the leader of this small village would reside.. she smirked and a brow quirked her hand slipping beneath the layers of her skirt.. her fingers curled around the dagger hilt and she pulled it from its sheath... she swaggered up to the southerly adjacent to the window they crawled threw.... her toned arm rose and came down into the wood... and she worked and whittled away ... chipping into it as deep as she could... she carved a decent size Talon... she stepped back and folded her arms tapping he lips through the rag veil with the blade... she nodded, some of her best work even... she enjoyed whittling... "well that's my contribution in thanks for the recent surprise visits they have dealt us... done you think?" she says canting her head and her voice lilting as she smiles cheekily to the pair as they searched.. she saw Rav grumble in frustration.. she joined in the search for the doll.. but she came up with nothing...

[00:50] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman She searched the place from top to bottom, peeking under tables, behind and inside crates, searching the cages but nothing..it simply wasn't anywhere to be seen. "He must still have it on his belt.", she cursed bitterly. Feeling a flash of vengeance she decided then to take something that seemed to be of value to him, there wasn't much in the room but on a shelf sat a helm. It seemed old and battle worn but well take care of. She lifted it from the shelf surprised by its weight and set it atop her own head. It wobbled for a moment until she learned how to properly keep it balanced. "I'm taking this...and now he knows who has it. If he wants this back, he will have to return what is mine." She looked at the marking of the black talon that cailyn had carved into the wood and grinned.

[00:54] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Pulls the chair over tot he window to stand up on and squirms out into the side of the yard.

[00:54] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna stepped up on the small barrel and pushed the window open, and squeezed out into the grass, straightening out, and glancing around....

[00:54] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands saw the distillery.. and she pouted.. she wished she had a wagon... she needed more gear for her operation... but she made her way to the other broken window and followed ehr family out

[00:56] Ravyn NavarathnaRavyn Navarathna leaps aboard the ship, grinning like a fool and laughs! 'Come on sisters.. home!' she yells to the captain, and sets sail for just that place...

[00:57] Cailyn RowlandsCailyn Rowlands scurries to teh boat and hops aboard plucking out her copper and tosses it to the captain... she settles on some cargo say "I am with them" pointing to rav and Noc she sighs a sigh of relief as the ship departs

[00:57] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Lept upon the ship with a sly grin, the mission hadn't been fully successful...she hadn't found her doll...but stealing Din's helm did make her feel a bit better. "Sail!", she ordered loudly then sank down onto a sack of grain.


[02:14] Nocra NeumanNocra Neuman Running into camp she darted up the steps and into the small cave on the wall, stored inside was a large crate filled with all the various things Nocra had aquired, stolen and borrowed (without intention of returning) over the years. Opening the lid she removed the helm they had stolen from Din's home and stashed it below a pile of random junk to keep it safe. Using a lock and key she closed the hinged top and secured it close then wove the key into her dark hair to hide it. "There! Now he can't get it back until I get Emme back!"
