Lunar Umbra

No there is nothing wrong with it and never let another convince you other wise.

Ümbrgrèss shakes his head and slowly got up from the ground, his head throbbing. He saw the mages surrounded by darkspawn and threw an acid flask at the darkspawn, though he knew it was a long shot as he could not see to clearly from the impact. He went to pick up his daggers and tried to clear his head.

Sorry I was wrong, in non-human animals that is what a sexual means.

You should have an option for those who have no sexual attractions whatsoever like me. And A sexual is not having no attractions it is preferring to have sex by yourself.

Ümbrgrèss throws his right hand dagger at the ogre while he is holding him. He then tries to throw an acid flask he has on his side at the gaint darkspawn with his now freed right hand. He glances over the battle field (if he can from his position) if he can see he tries to taunt the ogre to get its complete attention.

Ümbrgrèss attempts to take the opportunity to jump on to the trolls back daggers first and tries to stab him over and over with his curved elven daggers while the others attack him from the front with weapons and magic. Hopefully distracting the ogre as well. He prayed to Elgar'nan for his success in murdering these foul beasts.

"I'm going to try to sneak around to the ogres back to see if I can get in a good hit. If the warriors would charge in after that it would be much appreciated." Ümbrgrèss said. Ümbrgrèss tried to sneak around the darkspawn's range of sight using the buildings for cover whenever he can and prays to his gods that he is successful.

"Lets go and kill them before they get away." Ümbrgrèss said. He walked over to Conor "Sometime your going to have to tell me where you found a wyvern to kill." He said jokingly. Ümbrgrèss quickly cleansed off his daggers and wiped a little blood of his face. "Wait!" He said, "we need to get these two's blood!" He quickly took out two glass vials from his backpack and filled them with some of their blood and put them back in. "Will those work Rica?" He asked.

"Uhh Anna, scratch that." Ümbrgrèss said after seeing the Reaver use his magic. He then walked up to Connor. "I was curious as to how one learns blood magic like yours, you are not a Mage yet you can use it. How is that so?" He asked slightly in awe in spite of himself. He was beginning to like this warrior.

Ümbrgrèss put a hand on his forehead and groaned. He pulled Anna out of the Chanters range of hearing. "Anna, you know we where bluffing right? What would we accomplish by actually doing that. We where trying to intimidate him and know we have to wait for Thomas' translation while his people are being slaughtered because he took a vow to only quote his relgion. Think about it. Our empty threats where saving lives and you put an end to it." He berated her.

Ümbrgrèss smiles wickedly as he takes out a dagger and starts sharpening it on his whetstone. "Ah, but Conor you should really let me make him suffer before you do that. He can take a dozen or so cuts in the right places before he bleeds out." Ümbrgrèss said with a hint of glee in his voice.

Ümbrgrèss grabs him by the shirt and yells angerly at him. "Would the Maker really rather let his people be slaughtered by darkspawn or would he rather you keep reciting verses! If you do not tell us what we need to stop them you are just as guilty as the dark spawn!" He said his faces inches away from the preist's.

Ümbrgrèss was the first to act, he hid behind the tree line and exited to the trail right behind the glenlock alpha and stabbed him in the back, kicked him n his privates and cut him with his off hand dagger in one smooth movement. (PS: for future reference Ümbrgrèss is left handed).

Ümbrgrèss drew his daggers and hid behind a tree, waiting for a signal. He hoped that the swords and magic would be flashy enough for him to get a chance to drop a few of the darkspawn from behind. He noticed Annabelinda tapping Conor's foot and realized it was very swollen. Great one of the warriors is going into battle injured.

Ümbrgrèss trailed behind the rest of the group with Anna as to not be as easily seen when the battle begins, still he keeps sharp frequently checking behin him to see if the group is being followed. He was curious about the path they where taking however, did they already know where the dark spawn where? Our was Rica simply just walking in one direction until we found them, because she did not seem to be following any trails to him.

Úmbrgress nodded and stood at the ready. He was eager to began, going this long without stabbing or cutting something was making him antsy. He wondered about Rica herself, it appeared that she was a stealth fighter, with her daggers. But if she is attacking from stealth then how would we all do as she says as she mentioned?

"Should we discuss battle tactics before we go?" Ümbrgrèss asked. "I would hate to see a couple of you burnt to a crisp when you run out right in front of the mages." Ümbrgrèss explained. "I will try to sneak around to the back of the enemies and stab them if I can, I might also be able to scout ahead and provide intel." Ümbrgrèss stated.

Ümbrgrèss quickly got up out up of of the floor , disarmed his backpack trap, put on his backpack, and stepped outside (He had slept in his armour), "Ready." He said simply, looking a little eager to began. He wondered if they would get on with the joining right here and now. Might as well, he thought. Better to get it over with.

Ümbrgrèss found himself with the urge to comfort her, put his arm around her. But he drove it off this is the first time a sheml....human had apologized to him before. "It was not you who did, or people like you. Mages, elves, dwarves, blood magic, it is all feared because they are different and unknown there are the shems like the ones that killed my family and there are the true humans like you and most of the others that accept each other." He said quietly. "Maybe that's why I hide in the darkness... Because I like the people who have to..." Ümbrgrèss looked a little embarrassed at the exchange. "We should head back to camp, and attempt to get some sleep" he said in his usual cold voice. Just before he got up he touched Anna on the shoulder, "Thank you." He whispered into her ear before leaving.

"As a child my keeper found me among my family's corpses, they where killed by shemlen" he said in a quite tone. "He looked to her, how about you?" He asked softly. "Hey it looks like Yuriel is keeping watch." He said more quietly pointing at the campfire. "We better whisper." He added, in a whisper himself.

Ümbrgrèss turned around a hand on his dagger, then saw it was Anna and put his hand away. "Yes, we might die you know." He said softly. "But I am out here, because I like the sounds a creatures of the night..." he confided in her. "Other elves thought that I was out of touch with nature, but it was not true i liked a different sort of nature." He continued. "Just as I found that there are two types of Humans, there are the shems who are ignorant and hateful, and ere are the humans who think for themselves. I do not have a problem with humans anymore just the shems." He concluded. Why am I telling her this? It just makes me a more vulnerable target! And even if she is not a Shem she's not even your race! Ümbrgrèss mentally berated himself.

Later that night Ümbrgrèss woke up and silently walked out of his tent to sit under a tree and listen.... The crickets, the owls, the moths. The few living beings he actually cared for... There might be another though..... "She's a shem." He whispered to himself in protest. He looked into the silvery radiance of the moon. He was begining to think it might actually be more fun to actually join these Grey Wardens than to run away as he had initially planned...... She was not like the other shems, she was not ignorant, she treated him as more than an elf, and she had true power... Ignorance is why he disliked the shems, but a lot of these wardens where not so ignorant, they are outcast from that society just like he is.. These are a different kind of shemlen.. They are humans.....
