private An Unexpected Journey of sorts (RP)

[aRegularPony 306]

Goldseek's eyes were open. He didn't remember why he woke up, and just assumed he had a bad dream. He started thinking out his adventure. "There is something they aren't telling us." He told himself. "Surely, If it were just the dragon, an army of kinds would come. No. There is something else. Maybe..." Then he realized.

 

He ran out of his room and yelled out to Star or Helm. They had left to sleep since he was out here. He spotted the map. Trailing his hoof to the mountain, he saw the location. And oh, would it be a challenge.

Helm was obviously not very happy being woken so late. He threw on his cloak and met Goldseek in the tavern. Star followed soon after, not in any better mood than Helm.

 

"What is it? Why do you call for us at this hour? If there is one thing we all need before tomorrow it's rest."

 

Star waved a hoof. "I don't know about you, but I'm going back to bed. I don't have time to look at the map again, I can do that when the sun comes up."

Dyn dipped his head politely and murmured a thanks as he turned to the bar and ordered some mead. Tasting it he made a slight face, as it was slightly sour, but it was wet and refreshed him.

He had no need for more weapons-the heavy shoes on his feet and the small assortment of knives in his bag were quite enough. He was the cook; he didn't need to fight much, or so he hoped.

He sipped his drink again, eyeing the others up. He didn't feel safe just yet.

((OOC: Sorry. I don't know what's your OC looks like. ))

 

Cunning Horn spotted a large hooded figure in the tavern. Had no better idea to spend the night, he decided to make a conversation with the stranger. Still with a bottle of rum in his hoof, he staggered to the figure and dropped down in a seat next to the stranger.

"Ahoy there matey!" He glanced at the stranger's glass, "Mead 'eh?" He snorted and drunk from his bottle. Almost half bottle of rum, and he wasn't drunk yet.

Star Rain was getting sleepy, so then she went off to bed. I have a long journey ahead of us, so I need all the rest I can get. she thought as she went back to her room. She ran a hoof over her saddlebags that held her fake gems and her books and satisfied that everything she needed was in her bags. She yawned and went to sleep.

Descant nodded, and drank from his mug of cider again. Once he emerged, Star Keeper had gone, but Sweet Love hadn't budged. She was still glugging away at the glass of water she held. He stifled a laugh, and instead said conversationally, "Well, it looks like we're going to be seeing rather a lot of each other, doesn't it?" The thought did not seem to upset him in the slightest.

Realizing it was weird that she was still drinking water, she emerged. Yet again failing to conceal a smile, Sweet replied, "Yeah. This might turn out better than I thought it would." Looking into his eyes, she could tell that if they didn't die, they would both be very happy.

 

((I'll be at school today, so no posts for the day :/ Sorry guys.))

[The-Master 1,176]

Helm grew impatient, turning to look out the window. The sun was beginning to creep over the hills, banishing Luna's night once again. "Once again I must go without a full nights rest before a journey. It is unlikely I will have another chance to do so." He strode of back to his room to get ready for the days travel. "We will talk about what worries you later, Goldseek."

 

He hefted his ax to his side and clipped his armor on. It didn't cover very much of his body, being more tradition that practical. His jacket was reinforces with steel, weighing him down but offering more in protection. As he gathered the last of the supplies he wandered back down the hall, yelling at the top of his lungs.

 

"Awake! We set off in one hour! Awake!"

((We're running behind. We need to go to sleep and wake up!))

 

Descant nodded slowly, and added, "Yeah. It might." He drained the rest of his mug, and set it down on the counter. "We'd probably better get some sleep, don't you think? Helm's probably going to want us leaving sooner than everypony else..." It was not an invitation. He ambled into the room he had rented for the night, and shut his eyes.

 

"Awake! We set off in one hour! Awake!"

 

Descant's eyes flew open. The first rays of dawn were peeping in the solitary window in his room. He hopped up, and equipped his light halberd and belt, into which he stuffed each of his jeweled daggers, and his enchanted, intricately carved flute. He fumbled with a pouch on the belt, next to the flute, into which he dumped several small orange darts. He put more darts, sorted by colour, into the other three pockets he had on his belt, in blue, green, and black. Once they were sorted, he threw on his cloak, as he had had on yesterday, over it all, concealing his light armour and weaponry. Moments later, he emerged into the hallway, seeking Helm. 

[aRegularPony 306]

Goldseek slipped on his vest, picked up his puzzle box and started practicing his aim. Like yesterday, he threw the single bladed dagger straight at the bullseye and hit the mark. He kept his dual bladed knife in his puzzle box, not willing to test it in the inn full of ponies he would soon be travelling with. He retrieved the sharp weapon, accidentally cutting himself in doing so. He takes a vial out of his vest and puts a drop of liquid on the cut, killing the poison before it could kill him.

Arrow finished her water then stood up. "Well seeker...I am going to go try to get as much rest as I can before we leave. It has been nice talking with you. I feel like we have a connection." She smiled. "Goodnight." And with that, She trotted off towards her room. (She never bought one but we can just say she pays for it in the morning or something)

 

 

Arrow awoke to the sun shining through the window onto her face. She lay on her bed for a few minutes until she heard Helm yelling for everypony to wake up.

She reluctantly climbed out of bed and put on some very simple, very flexible armor.

[MagicalStarRain 599]

Star Rain woke up, very startled by the waking call. She was fully awake, ready to go. She threw her sheathed sword over her shoulder, levitated her saddlebags onto her back, and then walked down to the bar. Once there, she paid for some milk and drank it up. She then levitated a spellbook out of her bag and read it until it was time to go.

Waking with a start, Sweet tried remembering how she had gotten to bed, but she couldn't. Getting up and brushing her mane and tail, she noticed she still looked pretty tired. Maybe I should wash my face... That'll help. So she got up, dampened a rag, and sat with the warm rag on her face for a moment. It felt good.

 

After she finished washing, she made sure she had the few belongings she brought with with her. Stepping out into the hallway, she looked around and spotted Descant. She trotted down the hallway, calling, "Good morning, Descant!" as she got close.

Descant's expression softened slightly when he spotted Sweet emerging from a room and trotting towards him. "G'morning," he said, and was surprised by the fatigue in his voice. He felt fine. He shook himself slightly, humming an invigorating tune of his own composition, that seemed to restore the energy he required. As he did so, his horn glowed softly, and faded as he stopped humming. "How'd you sleep?" He asked, not breaking pace as he passed her in the hall, assuming she'd walk with him.

Following him, she replied, "Heavily... I can't remember any of my dreams, which is unusual for me. I almost always do. What about you?" She said this all in one breath, which was a bit hard. Subconsciously matching her pace with Descant, Sweet Love turned her head and looked into his eyes.

 

((A little fact about this post- I based how she slept off of how I slept last night, and how often I remember what I have dreamt.))

Descant sighed, and thought briefly. "It's always hard for me to fall to sleep in the first place - sensitive ears. But after I got there, I slept like a little foal." He smiled when she ended up walking with him, and when they rounded a corner, spotted Helm. He ran up to the heavily armoured pony, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "Did you want us to leave before the rest, Helm?"

 

@@The-Master,

[aRegularPony 306]

Goldseek stood on the spot, ready to leave as soon as the word was given. He dislike sitting still for long, and would rather keep moving. He was fiddling with his puzzle box for something to do as the clock ticked time away. He just wanted to set off, despite what he now knew he had to face. He was now opening and closing his puzzle box rapidly, wishing that time would just speed up and he and the rest of the party would leave on their journey.

@,

((OOC: is it alright that i changed Seeker's weapon into a great sword?))

Seeker looked at Arrow as she walked to her room and smiled, with a quick movement of his head he looked around the bar to see that everypony had already gone to a room for a good night sleep. Seeker looked down at his mug as memories began to replay in his mind, without a second thought Seeker downed what was left in his mug and forced himself up to a room.

 

It was not Helm's yelling that woke this griffin but the repeating nightmare....the villager's scream and death of his guards in arm. even though a few months had passed it still shook him to his very core, and yet hear he was going on an adventure to face a dragon. Seeker looked around himself as he grabbed his cloak and put it on without a word. With quick movement Seeker had grabbed his great sword and attached it to his back as he walked to the others. The moment he saw Arrow he gave her a small forced smile as if acting that he had had a good night sleep.

He ran up to the heavily armoured pony, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "Did you want us to leave before the rest, Helm?"

 

"You seem only too eager. So be it. We cannot allow our presence to be revealed, no word of our passing must known. Take Sweet with you and find us a way out of this town to avoid the guards. In the mean time I must take a head count, there must be some unaccounted for."

 

 

 

((OOC: is it alright that i changed Seeker's weapon into a great sword?))

 

 

((That's fine, just make sure you state it by choosing another weapon. They're still all laid out in the tavern waiting for you. In the mean time I'm going hunting for members who haven't shown up yet. We'll need most of our numbers if we are to set off. Once we do the company is set in stone.))

Arrow grabbed her double ended spear and trotted out of her room. She smiled at Seeker as she trotted into the bar area of the in.

"I'll get a water please." She said to the bar tender who nodded and filled up a glass. "Thank you." She took the water and sat down at the bar, Waiting for the rest of the group to get up.

[Ghostpony 17]

Seeker looked at Arrow as she walked past him with a smile. Just like that his forced smile felt a bit more natural then anything. He soon walked to the bar, "some bread and water." Seeker asked the bar tender as he took the same seat from the night before. His mind began to wonder to what could possibly happen, as he waited for the rest of the group come from the room part of the inn.

[Sky Warden 2,243]

Cunning Horn woke up with a half empty bottle of rum next to his head. Dark brown wood was his first sight that morning. He snorted when his dizzy head struck him. He moved half of his rum to his small bottle which he carried in his saddle and moved outside.

He sat as he waited for the other companions to wake up and used his magic to harden his horn, just like usual. He then sharpen it with his schianova. Odd scenery for regular ponies, he thought, but he's used to do it every morning.

[The-Master 1,176]

Helm walked into Star Keeper room, giving him a good shove in the side. "Get up friend, we don't have long here."

 

"Star grumbled at the sudden use of force. "Give me say 5 more minutes." As a response to this Helm shoved again, only this time with enough force to send him off the other side of the bed.

 

"Is that long enough?"

 

"Fine, I'll get ready. The journey packs are out back. I'll need help bringing them in."

 

Helm helped up Star giving him a pat on the back. "Shouldn't be an issue. I've asked our two scouts too look for a way out of town without being spotted. Hopefully they ill return in near an hour."

 

"In the mean time, I think we should gather them all in the tavern."

 

"On it."

[Descant 1,898]

Descant walked out of the tavern, and glanced around. The landscape was cast in deep shadows by the early morning light, and as he looked, he saw the borders of the town were crawling with guards. There was no way they could simply walk out undetected. He cast around slightly, trying to think of an idea. Then, suddenly, as if by a stroke of inspiration, he bent low to the ground, and touched his ear to it. His horn started glowing, and he pounded on the ground with one hoof, listening intently.

"Well, I apologize for my lateness... Not the fastest flyer in Los Pegasus am I?" laughing heartily

"So, yes, My name is Sturdy Wing and I am excited to be with you all, I may not be as dodgy or swift as you guys, but I can't wait to get into the fray, lets make this work-

Hoofs clomping loud on the tavern floor, Sturdy approaches the seated pony, taking his helm in his teeth before placing it on the nearby table. Hovering a few feet above the ground he stretches his legs

"Good afternoon to you miss, nice to meet you" he extends a wing

"May I ask your roll in this bit?"

@, 

"Well met, but we have little time for pleasantries. I'm sure you are still wondering what kind of journey this is but we can explain that later. Can you wield a sword? What is your weapon of choice, for I have many?"

 

Helm was in a rush to get everything organised, but he still had to account for his company members. "What are your skills?"
