private An Unexpected Journey of sorts (RP)

[The-Master 1,176]

Helm stood at the head of the cliff, grasping the last of his throwing axes. He looked out across the edge of the forest and towards the lake side. "These trolls could not have traveled in the day light. They must have a hole somewhere, and I think I may have found it." 

 

"Come, we shall inspect the troll cave before we continue north. Carry those who cannot walk themselves. We leave all provisions here."

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

"Oh you need healing?" Star Rain answered Cunning Horn's call. She walked over to Arrow and began casting the healing spell on her. Her magic aura went from cyan to a minty green as a green energy surrounded Arrow, just like how it surrounded herself when she used it on herself. When she was positive that Arrow got at least a good chunk of her strength back, she let go of her focus and asked,"All better now?"

"That is much better...Thank you Star." Arrow smiled. She was still in some pain but thanks to Star, She could walk without help. "Ok...I am ready to go." She said, Grabbing some water from her bag and taking a few sips before they left. *I think Helm said to leave the bag's.* She reached into her bag and pulled out a few essential items.

[MagicalStarRain 599]

"Alright!" Star Rain called back in response. She took her saddlebags off and made them disappear to the same place as her pack. She felt very light-weight now and more free without those bags weighing her down. She looked a little smaller though without them on. She threw her sheathed sword and daggers over her shoulder and began to follow Helm.

Cunning Horn turned to Helm as soon as Star Rain finished the healing spell. He couldn't believe it. The troll's cave. What a nonsense. He trotted to Helm, "Uhm Captain. Don't ye think that's it's kinda addled if ye ask the crew to attack those troll's nest after all of these?" He waved his hoof to the company, "I think it's gonna be a good idea to leave for Canterlot as soon as possible and the crew need rest".

"I believe that the cave will be empty, for as you can easily see here the trolls have been dealt with. There will be little danger to be found there, unless you aren't fond of strong smells." Helm began to walk in the direction of the cave, leading out of the forest and near the shores of the Saddle Lake. "Come, while the morning is still young."

The cold wind whips against the feathers of Sturdy's wings as he circles a landing pad among the top of Canterlot before touching down and retracting his wings, he trots off in to the shadowy corridors of the city, searching for a safe perch to spend his day as he awaits the arrival of Helm and his party

"A good lot they are, but fools for taking the long way" He sighs and gently begins to long, tedious process of removing each wing clip individually... combat would be a long ways off

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Arrow nodded at Helm *I wish we had some time to heal...We better not run into anything in the cave.* She thought. then she trotted over to Seeker. "Hey...You ok ?" She asked, giving him a small smile. "We were all beaten up pretty badly." She said, Looking down at the ground, Then back at Seeker.

Seeker turned his head as he saw Arrow and smiled. "yeah i'll be fine, just a broken rib and a few aching muscles. though it's nothing i haven't dealt with before." Seeker said with a slightly pained smile as he walked with the group. "are you alright, I saw you take quite a hit back there." Seeker said as he looked at Arrow with a worried expression. After a moment he looked at the cave they were walking towards as he prepared to draw his Great Sword if anything happen.

[The-Master 1,176]

The entrance to the cave overlooked the Saddle Lake, it's pits going deep into the hillside. The smell was quite overwhelming, the distinct fragrance of troll ever present. Helm was the first to enter, covering his mouth with his foreleg. As he trotted deeper inside there was a glimmer of gold and silver. On closer inspection the cave floor was practically covered in looted coins, jewels and weapons. Helm could not help but smile at the discovery, taking the chance to look over some of the weaponry.

 

"I think it's safe to come down here, and you're not going to believe what it is."

[Sky Warden 2,243]

"And you're not going to believe what it is" Cunning Horn repeated Helm's word in his mind and trotted happily into the cave. There should be something great in there. He observed the cave quickly. Jewels, coins, weapons, lied on the cave floor. He pulled his upper lip to the left in a weird expression, "No rum". He turned back with an 'okay' face, waiting for Helm's order.

Goldseek dragged himself after Helm, and gasped, which hurt his back a bit. He didn't know what he was expecting, but it definitely was not this. The room shone with gold and rubies. Emeralds and amethyst. You name it, it was probably there. There were weapons. Oh, the weapons. Anyone would think that it was there especially for them. Just waiting to be looted by the gang. He ran his hoof through the gems to make sure it wasn't an illusion.

[~Lawful Sturdy Wing~ 522]

(OOC: Ok, I guess we are just going to take the long way XD well I really don't want to be out of this RP for a while so I am going to fly back)

 

A niggling worry bit at Sturdy as he lay resting on a marble rooftop, fear that the party may run in to danger they could not surpass without his Kirram

Sighing deeply he chastises himself "Yes its the long way, Yes it is more dangerous than needed... But I am a member of the company, and I should be by there side"

 

He stretches his wings wide, now free from their clips and dashes off into the sky, soaring to the caverns the party insisted on venturing into

[The-Master 1,176]

Star Keeper was almost giggling with glee, looking over all the ancient relics that the trolls had looted from travelers. Helm on the other hoof had found a few weapons of interest, long curved blades of superior craft. They seemed to give off their own light, shining a pure silver. When Star noticed him he examined the blades.

 

"These are swords forged by the Alicorns in ages past. Dare I say they are older than Celestia herself. I have never come across such a blade in person."

 

Helm recoiled after hearing they were forged by the Alicorns, moving to place the weapons back. Star stepped in, seizing one of the swords off of Helm. "You could not ask for a finer blade." Helm reluctantly took the sword, strapping it to his belt since his old axe was long gone.

 

Star Keeper found something of his own interest; a short yew bow. It ha only a few arrows in its quiver but it seemed appealing none the less. Star strapped the sword and quiver to him, keeping a firm hold on the bow string. "We can't take all of this with us. We'll block up the entrance once we're done and come back for it after our journey."

[~Lawful Sturdy Wing~ 522]

Time passes and Sturdy bursts through the air at breakneck speed before arriving, exhausted, at the cavern where the rest of the party seems to be busy, and excited.

 

"Good afternoon friends, what seems to have lifted your spirits so highly after such a brutal encounter?"

Nodding at the parties leader Sturdy Wing speaks

"Commander, I apologize for my absence, I am ready to enter the fray when needed"

Helm pivots on the spot, drawing his Alicorn blade from its sheath. "Where have you been? You can't expect to just leave us in the thick of it and return like its all dandy. Understand me when I say you will not be going off on your own again."

 

Helm kept his temper, taking a deep breath. He sheathed his sword, refusing to make eye contact. He grabbed a nearby pair of  gauntlets, tossing them to Sturdy. "Take these. They are of my kingdoms make. Now spear nor sword will lay a dent in them. Now we must make full haste to Canterlot, blocking the entrance to this cave before we depart." His tone was less than friendly, but at lest he had calmed down a bit.

Sturdy is taken aback at the commanders harshness 

"Sir, I did not abandon you during the combat, I left after things were wrapped up and I assumed Canterlot was our end goal" He enters the cave, wings tucked in 

"Ugh it smells awful in here, wait... why are we here?" He remarks, taking the gauntlets in hoof and equipping them instantly 

"Thank you commander, these shall serve me well"

Arrow nodded. "Im still hurting...But thanks to Star's magic, I am feeling better." She smiled.

 

When they arrived at the cave and grimaced at the smell. "That...Is dreadful." She muttered, Following the other's into the cave.

She looked at the jewel's, And the weapon's then said. "I like my spear...So unless the alicorn's forged a double ended spear and left it here...Than I am sticking with the one I have." She said.

Sturdy's eyes opened wide at the sight of the clearly injured Arrow, approaching her tentatively he asks "Where is it that is hurting miss? I may be able to assist you if it is not too severe" He begins to fumble through the pack on his back, searching for something of use.

Arrow smiled at Sturdy. "If you have some bandages...That would be nice." She said, Leaning against the wall of the cave. "A few broken's ribs...Star Rain managed to help ease the pain with her magic but the only other thing that can help is time...And bandages." She said.

[aRegularPony 306]

Goldseek pocketed a new weapon, however, this time, instead of the usual knife or dagger, he chose what appeared to be a scimitar. He didn't know why he chose it, perhaps because it reminded him of his fathers old scimitar, but he liked it. The weapon was golden, and had gems embedded into the blade. It seemed natural to him. He stumbled out of the cave, blade at hand and ready for whatever happened next. 

[~Lawful Sturdy Wing~ 522]

Arrow smiled at Sturdy. "If you have some bandages...That would be nice." She said, Leaning against the wall of the cave. "A few broken's ribs...Star Rain managed to help ease the pain with her magic but the only other thing that can help is time...And bandages." She said.

 

"Of course, let me see what I can do" Sturdy responds in a hurry, searching through the deep pockets of his satchel before pulling out a long pad of woven cotton to be used as a bandage

 

"Well alright then, this should do for ya" He remarks trotting over to the injured dryad "This WAS part of an old blanket but it should serve our purposes well enough, can you apply it yourself or would you like help?"

[Descant 1,898]

Descant, limping slightly, had lagged behind the main group, sitting near the mouth of the Troll Hole, and was tenderly applying pressure to various places. A spike of pain. Must be a cracked rib. He had been lucky; the troll's flailing club had only dealt a glancing blow. Right flank, too. Must have been where he hit the tree. He was no good with healing magic, but he did pull a potion out of his saddlebag, and chugged it down. Throwing the empty flask aside, he began to attempt to do his own bindings. He wouldn't exactly be comfortable on the trip, but he would in no way be a hindrance. He would not allow it.

"Thank you Sturdy. And I can get it on by my self thank's." She smiled and took the bandages from Sturdy. Then she opened her leaf like wings and started wrapping the bandage's around her chest (Or barrel if you want to be specific.)

When she finished, She tied the bandages tightly and folded her wings. "Ok...That will help me not over do it. Does anypony else need any medical attention while we are here ?" She asked.

Taking the bandages back after Arrow had finished using them, Sturdy turns to Des

"Are you in need of any help Des? I have some basic healing herbs and bandages... They're nothing really magical but enough to keep you walking and, Celestia willing, fighting"

Descant looked up from his bandages, which he had somehow managed to get his hooves tangled in. "Well, I could never say no to a helping hoof... Especially when I'm... Like this." He gestured at the bruises down his side, disgustedly. "I managed to procure a few healing potions from an alchemist friend of mine before I came on this journey... I just can't get the ruddy... Bandages... Gah! Domen dail!" He managed to extract his hooves from the tangle by ripping one of the bandages.
