Chance: Chan: Well shall we get me fitted then?
DMaster: FER: Don’t forget about me!
Ferellus strolls into the Inn
Chance: Chan: Ferellus, how are you doing?
DMaster: FER: Good buddy, been a long time!
PLUG: Right on time Ferellus.
Chance: Chan: I know where have you been hiding?
DMaster: BRIT: Hey Ferellus…
FER: Hey Brit! Hey Plug!
PLUG: Plugr, Ferellus, Plugr.
He nods to Plugr, blushing a bit.
Chance: Chan: did I miss something here?
DMaster: FER: I swing by all the time but I have been turned away more times than you at a whore house
Chance: Looking at Plugr and Britney
DMaster: PLUG: Ferellus is going to train with you, possibly travel with you. Provided we feel he is ready.
FER: I’ll be ready…
Chance: Chan: you better be
DMaster: BRIT: Ready to shit himself and run
laughs at him.
FER: Damn… all the flavors you can be Britney and you choose salty
PLUG: Enough banter, lets get going
Chance: Chan: I agree, let’s get a move on
DMaster: You four head out of the Inn and you can hear Morty snoring at the table you were just sitting at
FER: Wow, Morty must of been plowing through the drinks if he is passed out already
BRIT: He is not used to the good stuff
Chance: Chan: hopefully Morty is gonna be ready to train us
DMaster: PLUG: He should, he can wait to drink after he trains.
You head into the Islands tourist market area, some stalls with food, and trinkets. It is a typical day on the Isle, small puffy clouds, light winds and about 85 degrees. Plugr leads you into a shop that doesn’t have a lot of flare.
Chance: Chan: you sure you are up for this Ferellus?
DMaster: FER: Sure am… what the hell else am I going to do?
BRIT: Shit yourself and run…
Plugr smirks and shakes his head
FER: Not very confident in me are you?
Britney glances at him, shrugs and walks towards some tunics.
Chance: Chan: okay okay, enough, let’s get serious shall we
Looking around
DMaster: The shop is about 20×30. It smells of wood fire, leather and sweat. The west wall is filled with some mannequin type statues, with metal armor on them. It ends with a small desk and a door. The north wall has shelves with leather pieces like tunics, greeves and helms. The east wall has accessories and the middle has more tables with more armor type products.
Chance: Look around at the goods here
DMaster: PLUG: Ahh Godfrey
GOD: Plugr it is so good to see you
Plugr and Godfrey shake hands
PLUG: Chance, Ferellus, this is Godfrey Trethewey
Chance: I will look at the leather
DMaster: BRIT: Godfrey how much for this?
She holds up what appears to be a leather thong
GOD: *snickers* for you my dear, its free.
Chance: Slap forehead
DMaster: Brit rolls her eyes and puts it back
PLUG: Not so fast Chance, we already have your armor, and Ferellus’s. This is just to get your final fitting
Godfrey heads through the door and then comes back in holding a very dark brown leather armor,
Chance: Chan: don’t I get a say in my armor?
DMaster: PLUG: Nope, its been designed by Cassie, and its what you will need.
Chance: Chan: umm, okay
DMaster: FER: Don’t be a dick bag, jebus, we are getting some specialized armor, for free.
GOD: Cassie was pretty specific about the armor, she said it will fit you and work with you by the style of fighting you do
Chance: Chan: I know, sorry. Do I at least get a say in my weapons?
DMaster: Godfrey hands you the armor
PLUG: Well try it on.
Looking it over
BRIT: You already have your weapon, I gave it to you at your last birthday.
Chance: Chan: Britney, I am sure I am gonna need more than just one sword, although I am very thankful for it
DMaster: PLUG: Yeah, but I looked your sword over and it is better than most seasoned fighters. It must have cost a bundle.
Glances at Britney, she avoids his looks, walks farther away browsing.
Chance: Chan: where can I go to try this armor on… Godfrey is it?
DMaster: Godfrey looks around puzzled.
PLUG: umm. what?
BRIT: What, you want a dressing room??
She walks over, big smile, shaking her head.
BRIT: Its armor silly, just put it on, unless you plan on going commando under it?
She couldn’t even finish saying that before giggling.
FER: I’d rather you not, you could be in the middle of battle, lunge at your opponent and your nutsack pops out.
Godfrey starts to laugh, Plugr giggles.
Chance: Chan: fine fine, laugh it up.
DMaster: Britney grabs the armor and starts helping you on with it. Putting a strap on here and there and make sure to grab your balls a few times.
FER: Dumbass…
He mumbles, but he is eyeing up the job you are getting from your cougar lover.
Chance: Chan: I can’t wait to see what they get you
DMaster: Godfrey walks towards Ferellus and hands him his armor, looks much lighter, has a hood attached and a long sleeve on his left arm.
FER: Do you have a dressing room? I like to wear my armor, ass-less.
Ferellus starts to put his on, Godfrey loving the jabs, is chuckling.
Chance: Chan: well how does it look?
Move around see how the armor feels
DMaster: Godfrey walks around you.
GOD: stand still, sir
Ferellus is putting his armor on. Plugr and Britney looking on.
BRIT: You sure this is a good idea, Plugr?
Chance: Chan: fine fine
Stand still
DMaster: PLUG: They will be fine…
Looks over at Ferellus
PLUG: well Chance will be anyways, Ferellus won’t be doing anything on the island, he is too green. But when the time comes, if we don’t feel he is ready, we either keep training or we move on. Simple as that.
Ferellus goes to move, stumbles around
FER: HEY!
He almost falls over. Godfrey is fitting straps and measuring things on you.
Chance: Chan: come on Ferellus, get it together
DMaster: GOD: Ok. you are all set you can take it off now.
The Armor is almost like a second skin, when you move it doesn’t stretch or catch.
Chance: Take off the armor
DMaster: Godfrey walks over to Ferellus and starts fitting him
PLUG: We are heading next door next, they are holding a few weapons
Chance: Chan: alright, let’s go
Start to move out after I take off the armor.
DMaster: BRIT: can we wait for slapnuts first?
FER: What is this pick on Ferellus day?
Godfrey finishes up the fitting
Chance: Chan: well it just might be
Nodding at him.
DMaster: The 4 of you head over to the smithy, he doesn’t have many weapons out, mostly trinkets (for the tourists)
Chance: Looking at the trinkets, let Plugr do the talking
DMaster: The smithy heads in the back and comes out with a bundle wrapped in a blanket and puts it on the counter
BRIT: Smithy, did you get the special request?
SMITHY: Just came in yesterday!
He heads back and grabs something
FER: Oh…. oh… wow
Grabbing at the weapons. The smithy hands a large compound bow to Ferellus. He grabs the bow and draws it back, or tries too, its wound tight.
PLUG: Hopefully.
He stops a moment
PLUG: SHE, sticks around to teach you a few things Ferellus
FER: She?
Britney glances around
BRIT: We’ll fill you in later
Chance: Chan: agree with that hopefully she does. You better do that bow proud
DMaster: Plugr unwraps the bundle and there are daggers, a short sword, and a few items you’re not sure about
FER: *drool* I might have to take a moment
Chance: Look at everything, especially the items I am unsure about.
DMaster: Plugr hands you 3 daggers
PLUG: These 2 will fit in your cross band, and this one will fit in your boot
They are weighted perfectly, made with Bluesteel
Chance: Chan: Thank You.
DMaster: but very plain. You also noted the armor had no symbols or flourish worked into it
Chance: Chan: these will go good with my sword
DMaster: PLUG: Ferellus, if you are done making the Bow feel awkward, I have a short sword for you
Again it is made with dimasticated steel and plain. Ferellus grabs the sword.
FER: Nice, it’s like fricken Winters Eve!
Chance: Chan: now don’t cut yourself
DMaster: Plugr Looks at the smithy
PLUG: You have been paid for this right?
SMITHY: Aye, and paid well. They are all yours. Oh wait
He runs back and comes back up with a quiver slammed with arrows, and another large bundle tied together
FER: Ohhh yeahhhh…
Chance: Chan: wipe the drool off your chin
DMaster: Plugr wraps up all the weapons including the quiver, you 4 head back to the Inn on a gorgeous late afternoon.
Chance: Chan: well at least Morty picked a good day to pass out
DMaster: Everyone agrees by nodding their head. You make it back to the Inn
Chance: Chan: anyone thirsty?
DMaster: One of the Knights of Camerondale that stuck around walks over to Plugr
PLUG: Calisara, you know Chance
CAL: Yes… we had a little talk yesterday.
Smiles at you, She was the knight that talked to you about Affinity
Chance: look over at her, and then look back at everyone else
DMaster: CAL: I have word from the Royal party
PLUG: Already? uh oh
CAL: No, my lord, all is well… they are making good time
Plugr sighs
PLUG: thank Animax, and Calisara, it’s Plugr.
Britney waves the new girl over, Ursula.
Chance: Chan: can we get a drink now? I for one am ready for a drink
DMaster: Ursula walks over in a maids outfit, her big blue eyes beaming.
FER: Whoa… hey, I know you right? Shanna’s friend?
Slicks his hair back
FER: How YOU doing?
The newly hired maid is taken aback
URS: Uhhh… I am doing OK.
Britney’s eyes grow big and turns away, cups her mouth from fear of laughing in his face
Chance: Bust out laughing
DMaster: BRIT: can you get us a pitcher of water and fruit juice?
URS: Yes, right away
FER: What?
Smooths his outfit, and stands up straight
Chance: Chan: Smooth move turd stain.
Snickering
DMaster: Plugr looks awkward, with this teenage flirting thing.
PLUG: Ok, Calisara, any word on Rohlia?
Chance: Chan: yes how is Rohlia?
DMaster: She takes her eyes off of Ferellus; she was looking at him in amazement that he said that to a girl
CAL: Yes, She is awake but still unable to sit up, She has requested to see Chance straight away, Sire
Plugr smiles
PLUG: Calisara, I am flattered.
Gets her attention by staring at her with his baby blue eyes.
PLUG: But call me Plugr, I am retired.
Britney’s eyes perk up
BRIT: Retired?
PLUG: Well… kind of, mostly. Ok, dammit. Semi-retired.
The female Knight face flushes, smiles
CAS:Yes My Lord, errr… Plugr. Damn.
BRIT: Chance, why don’t you go visit with Rohlia and we will get ready for the meeting
Chance: Chan: Aye, I shall try not to be too long
DMaster: Plugr nods in agreement, Calisara makes her way back over to the desk, Ferellus plops down next to his bow and caresses it. You head out to the Temple. Its a 2 minute walk, its a few blocks away
Chance: Stay sharp as I walk to the temple
DMaster: The island is busy since the Royal party has left. The tourist block was lifted. You make it to the Temple in no time. The temple’s front doors are open, and Saundra is right inside talking with an acolyte.
SAU: Oh chance, follow me
She walks over to a doorway and lets you in
Chance: Chan: Good afternoon Priestess, nice to see you
Walk in.
DMaster: SAU: Nice to see you too Chance!
Its a small room with a slanted wall. A big window that has the sun shining in. The stone floor is wet, and there are buckets of water all around; it keeps the room cool and you can tell, it is about 20 degrees cooler. Rohlia is laying on a bed, with a light sheet on her.
Chance: Walk over to her
DMaster: She sees you in the corner of her eye, big smile.
ROH: Chance!
Chance: Smile back, get close.
Chan: So how are you feeling?
DMaster: She goes to sit up and she gasps in pain. There is a monk cleaning in the room
Chance: Chan: You’re going to hurt yourself.
DMaster: MONK: Lady Rohlia, please, for the last time just stay flat
She lets out a large sigh,
ROH: uggg, ok
Chance: I will lean down
DMaster: ROH: I am not sure what you say to someone who saved your life.
She swallows hard
ROH: Thank you, for starts
Chance: Chan: You did the same for me, it was hit or miss there for a while
DMaster: ROH: It is all a big blur for me right now. Did we kill that bitch?
Rohlia coughs a bit
Chance: Chan: No, she got away I am afraid. I looked over to where she should of been and there was no one there. Vanished. BUT, she will be minus a couple of henchmen.
Put my hand on her shoulder, smile.
Chan:I must say, thank you, for throwing me that sword
DMaster: ROH: I figured you were not expecting trouble. I know, I wasn’t. I only knew that warehouse had unusual traffic at night, figured we could look around and chat at the same time.
She coughs a bit again.
ROH: That buzz cut backdoor twat took me by surprise. Then after sticking me, she wanted to “talk.”
Rohlia laughs, then again, coughs.
Chance: Chan: she has a habit of taking us by surprise, but how did she know you would be there, is my question?
DMaster: She slowly shakes her head
ROH: I don’t know. I came in on a provisions shipment with little to no passengers, so no one knew I would be on that, no one on the island saw me.
Stares at the ceiling in thought
Chance: Chan: makes me wonder, I am just glad you are okay
DMaster: ROH: Well, I am getting my last treatment tonight and that should give me enough strength to get back on my feet. Tell Plugr to come see me whenever he can, no rush
Chance: Chan: I shall do that, it’s the least I can do. You just get better please. I haven’t been slammed up against a wooden crate in at least a day or two.
Smile with a chuckle.
DMaster: She laughs and coughs. The monk nods at you, and hands her a cup of water. She squeezes your hand to say goodbye.
Chance: Chan: I shall let you get some rest, I better get back to Plugr. I am sure I will see you soon
Squeeze her hand back.
DMaster: You leave the temple and head back to the inn. It is getting later in the Afternoon now, some tourists are about, and you can hear some music from a random cafe.
Chance: Stay sharp as I walk back to the Inn
DMaster: You see Shanna on your way back, She is wearing a white muscle shirt with what looks like nothing underneath. She has a short pink skirt on and some sandals. She seems to be looking for someone then turns to see you. She almost catches you staring at her huge bazongos. (He is a horny teenager, yes he is going to stare at boobs)
SHA: Oh hey chance! Do you know where my stupid brother is?
Chance: Chan: yes, he is at the Inn with Britney
Stop, and keep my eyes focused on her eyes.
DMaster: SHA: Oh, ok, are you heading there now?
Chance: Chan: yes I am, do you need me to tell him anything?
DMaster: SHA: No, I’ll go with you then
You figure it is no big deal, since you are almost there.
Chance: Chan: umm, okay
DMaster: You two walk along and its hard not to notice her giant boobs bouncing when she walks. She is oblivious to it really, being on the island most people dress with very little on due to the heat. You two walk into the Inn. Ferellus looks over.
FER: Shanna? What are you doing here?
The group at the table look up and at you. Ferellus stands up looking perplexed.
SHA: Oh? What are you doing here? I am sure Mom and Dad will want you home for Dinner.
FER: You goof, no they know I am here
Shanna looks around and sees Plugr, Britney and Calisara all at a big table with what looks like scrolls, maps and a weapon or two on the table
SHANNA: What. is going on… here?
Britney gets up and turns Shanna around and walks her out the door telling her Ferellus will be home later. She tries to protest a bit, but Britney puts a clamp on it quickly.
Chance: Looking toward Plugr
Chan: M’lord when you get time Rohlia would like to see you
DMaster: PLUG: What do I need to do? Wear a damn sign that says “For the love of Animax, call me Plugr?”
He looks at you a bit frustrated.
FER: Yeah, dumb-ass.
Chance: Chan: Whoa, sorry.
Put my hands out. Give Ferellus a sharp glance.
DMaster: Its late afternoon, the new girl is bringing some bread and cheese to the table. Ferellus sees her and stands.
FER: So.. are you new here? No, I mean, you are my sister’s new friend? Or… how YOU doing?
Looking at her, wide eyed knowing he just dropped the ball.
Chance: Chan: Ferellus, come on get it together my friend
DMaster: URS: Uhh, yes I am new. Are you? Or.. I mean did you just come in… or …
She gets flustered and walks away. Britney wide eyed, shakes her head. Plugr lets out a small chuckle and a smile. Ferellus trying to look debonair.
FER: I think she likes me
Chance: Chan: What is all this?
Britney gives you a frown and a sharp look.
BRIT: Our meeting? We have to get you up to speed on all the things happening in Legon
Chance: Chan: and this is where we will fit in I take it?
DMaster: You sit and everyone settles in. Calisara shuts the front doors to the Inn, 2 guards come down and stand by the back entrance and one in the front
Chance: Chan: Now pay attention Ferellus
Looking at the map
DMaster: Ferellus looks at you, furries his brow
FER: You, pay attention… dick wad.
Plugr ignoring the jabs.
PLUG: There are a lot of things going on in this world, so I’ll just talk about the more pressing matters. There is a new power that is rising just to the West of here. In a land called Weston Gate, there are rumored to be three witches who took over, and from what we have been told, the land is now called Thorn Gate. Our reports say they are connected to a dark Patron.
He frowns a bit.
BRIT: Yes, Fins… err, that Dark Cleric.
PLUG: Some reports of skirmishes with our patrols on some border towns. Nothing too significant, but it’s something we need to keep an eye on. His influence and power seems to be growing.
Chance: Take a gulp of fruit juice, keep listening.
DMaster: PLUG: One that you all were facing head on, the Princess and the transfer of power to the Queen. That speaks for itself, so I won’t get into that any further.
Chance: Look down. Swallow hard.
DMaster: PLUG: To the far west, in the Onyx Elf realm, there has been some significant news. There have been rumors of massive explosions and crazy lights, fires, even weather phenomena that are unexplained. Our guess is…
Britney’s eyes perk up
BRIT: Oh no… no they aren’t
He nods his head.
PLUG: Our guess is whoever they are, they are trying to use magic. That would explain the reports that are coming in.
BRIT: Well it’s definitely not Ferellus and his flirting.
FER: WHAT? That’s not all that is magic. ahem
Looking down at his pants. Britney rolls her eyes as Plugr snorts.
Chance: Chan: I can’t believe I just heard that.
Look amazed.
DMaster: PLUG: To even think further west, apparently, a team of adventurers made it over or through the Thundrad Mountains. From the news we got, only 2 returned but spoke of a new land… I am sure every adventurer here to Zdroks way will be gearing up and heading that way now. Would have loved to know more, but its spotty info at best.
Chance: Chan: That would be amazing to explore. So where do I come into this picture?
DMaster: BRIT: Slow down Chance, let him finish
FER: “I” did you just say, “I”
He gives you a sharp look, crosses his arms
FER: dickbag…
Chance: Chan: okay, I apologize, to… the both of us.
DMaster: PLUG: Augustia is in need of help with the Flame waters being the hottest they have been in decades.
He continues on some more news but it was inconsequential really
PLUG: and finally, this poor girl
Nodding over at Ursala
PLUG: Needs help from this horn-dog
Nods at Ferellus. Ferellus, eyes wide, almost daydreaming, looking at the map tracing his hand down the mountain range to the west, not paying attention.
Chance: Keep listening, then glance at Ferellus
DMaster: BRIT: He is not even paying attention
FER: Oh sorry, I am just fascinated by what could be on the other side of that mountain range
PLUG: Aye… its called wanderlust, and I fear it will hit many people. Many lives will most likely be lost, just to catch a glimpse of something unexplored.
Chance: Chan: I just want to catch a glimpse of Ferellus not making an ass out of himself.
Glance at Ferellus
Chan: stay focused please
DMaster: FER: You, Stay, Focused. Weiner licker.
Plugr ignoring the jabs, again.
PLUG: So…
Flattens the big map down
Chance: Looking at the map
DMaster: Plugr points out some areas of interest and you two take it all in. Some fun information, and it’s good to see what is out there.
Chance: Keep listening as I look at the map
DMaster: PLUG: We want to have some sort of plan moving forward. As of now, it is barely even on the drawing board. It is too far in the future to really plan. Anything can happen from now to then. Most of it will be intel, observation. Understand? No running in blades drawn. Look, watch, gather Intel…
Chance: Chan: Makes sense.
DMaster: Ferellus eyes widen a little and nods his head sarcastically.
FER: We get it, we are INTEL-Legent enough to understand it.
Plugr stares at him blankly… Blinks his eyes. Britney is doing everything in her power not to laugh, a smile growing on her face.
Chance: Chan: I… I… can’t even.
Shake head.
DMaster: The semi-retired knight snorts a bit and smiles
PLUG: keeping a sense of humor is going to be important, if any of this comes to fruition, then you will need it. These journey’s can be frustrating and tedious.
Chance: Chan: Hear that, your face can be comedy relief.
DMaster: FER: My foot up your ass will be comedy relief.
Britney puts her hand out seeing Ferellus fire back. Helynne sticks her head in the front door.
BRIT: …and for the grand finale.
She takes a deep breath. Calisara walks over to the doors, opens them up
Chance: Look over toward the doors
DMaster: Helynne walks in with 4 guards, you see a platoon of guards outside that appears to be on patrol around the Inn. The knight closes the doors. The guards set up in the farthest corners and they have drums in their hands. They start beating the drums giving the room a certain hum.
Plugr looks around the room
PLUG: I know, it looks ridiculous but we can’t chance anyone listening in. This was an old trick we used to do back in the day.
BRIT: No pun intended, of course
Helynne sits down at the table
Chance: Frown.
DMaster: HEL: Ladies, Gentlemen. and you too Chance
FER: HA!
He laughs, Britney smiles and shakes her head.
Chance: Smack Ferellus in the arm
DMaster: He pushes you, you push back and then Plugr gives you a look. You both stop immediately.
HEL: If I may…
Plugr nods to her
HEL: We are going to clear out this base sitting under the island. Camerondale is sending a brigade (24 troops) over the next week, little by little to not raise suspicions
Chance: Chan: Good idea.
DMaster: HEL: We will hit it from two fronts. As you pointed out in front of everyone yesterday…
The captain glares at you.
HEL: We think there is an entrance in that fish place that leads down to the compound. One group will go in there. The other group will enter the place where Britney, Chance and Ferellus went in, got caught, and lied to me. How does your head feel, Ferellus?
Ferellus has wide eyes, pushes a fork on the table, whistles a little. Helynne raises an eyebrow
HEL: No more lies, no more secrets… we need everyone on point. It could mean the difference between a clean sweep or us getting routed.
Chance: Chan: Aye, I agree
DMaster: Britney trying to look innocent after what Helynne said.
PLUG: So 10 days from now, we will make that happen. We are giving ourselves a 3 day window to move on the underground facility. Ferellus will have some catching up to do, and he will not be part of the compound raid.
Chance: Chan: My mom is safely away from here now, so I say bring them on!
DMaster: PLUG: It is going to be a grueling next week or so. Mornings will have you and Ferellus training with Morty for a few hours. Then you will study with me; the finer things like infiltration, intel, scribing, etc
Chance: Chan: We are up for this
DMaster: PLUG: Hopefully afterwards, Rohlia will stick around and train both of you on the Bow. Ferellus, pay attention to every word she says, everything she does, you will not find a better teacher of archery anywhere. After the siege of the compound, Chance will train with Morty and Ferellus will train with Rohlia exclusively, if she sticks around.
Chance: Keep listening
Chan: So ready for this.
DMaster: HEL: You really trust these clowns?
PLUG: Yes. I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t.
Plugr says without hesitation looking at the captain. Ferellus looking hurt.
FER: Clowns?
Britney nodded her head in agreement.
BRIT: They might be a little dense sometimes, but they will train hard, learn all they need.
Chance: Chan: thank you for trusting us. We won’t fail you
DMaster: PLUG: No, Chance, never say that.
HEL: I will have another meeting in a week to inform you of the progress and give you updates
Plugr nods
PLUG: Thank you, Helynne.
HEL: I will take my leave then
She reaches on Ferellus’s plate, pops a piece of cheese in her mouth. The drums stop and the guards follow Helynne out
Chance: Grab some cheese and a drink
Chan: can I make a suggestion while I am still on the Isle? Perhaps we should move me to another room till I leave
DMaster: Plugr smirks and looks at you, then at Britney.
BRIT: oh way ahead of you
FER: yeah, roomie!
Chance: Chan: oh boy
Smack my forehead
DMaster: PLUG: Until the siege, you will live with Ferellus’s family. Keep a low profile. Make sure no one sees you coming and going, understand? Afterwards you will move back into the Inn.
Chance: Chan: I can do that, I sure hope you don’t snore.
Smirking, take another sip of my drink
DMaster: PLUG: so go pack up. Ferellus’s home has a secret entrance you will use, apparently.
Ferellus looks over to you
FER: You better not rip ass at night, I don’t want to smell you…
Chance: Chan: Aye, M’lord I will get right to it
Get up and bow
DMaster: FER: who you bowing too dude? The stale cheese at the end of the plate?
Plugr looks at you, frustrated.
PLUG: Plugr, Chance. Call, me, Plugr.
Britney giggles and shakes her head.
Chance: Chan: Oh damn, sorry.
Look at Ferellus.
Chan: Such an ass hat.
Head up the stairs to my old apartment
DMaster: Getting up, flashes his eyes a bit to Britney, playful smirk across his face.
PLUG: oh yeah, this is going to be fun
You and Ferellus pack your shit up, and head back down. You put the necklace somewhere safe. A guard is standing at the stairs
GUARD: I will take that to the house
Its early evening, the sun is heading for the horizon
PLUG: You should go with him now Chance, he can show you the secret door
Chance: Chan: Aye, well let’s get this circus on the road
Behind the Scenes
Plugr makes his way up the stairs, down the hallway and into his room. He closes the door, looks around again and smiles, seeing how luxurious it is. Never much for style, functionality is what he really feels comfortable with.
He places a few notes on the table, stretches a little and walks to the window. He looks out, still a little thrown by his surroundings, paradise. He frowns a bit wishing his wife Victoria was here.
This first Knight of Camerondale is the most decorated warrior in the history of the realm, and probably top ten to ever walk Legon. After years of blood, sweat and tears, Camerondale finally had a foothold. The King implemented a division of the Army, and that was the Knights of Camerondale. Plugr was the first, first Knight. He has served the Realm with the heart of a warrior and the blade of courage.
His lack of interest in politics keeps him under the radar; but he never imagined taking office in that capacity, and he never wants to.
Plugr met the love of his life on a mission to stop pirates from pillaging the waterways with the late, great Duke Vulcuran. Since then, he decided to start taking more administrative roles. He eventually reached a point where he wanted to retire, but with a bit of pressure, he only semi-retired. He only takes on little jobs like the one he is on now, well at least he thought it was going to be little.
He has a daughter named Talia, she will set sail for the isles in a couple days and he looks forward to seeing her.
The couple tried to have kids, but due to Victoria’s unique abilities, it all but rendered her infertile. After a year of trying, they met Esmershard, an older alchemist who created a potion to curtail Victoria’s powers for 9 or so months. It worked and out popped his second love of his life, Talia. She is a little spitfire in the mold of her father.
Plugr chuckles to himself thinking of his daughter and the fiery relationship he has with her. Some people look at it and feel it’s on the rocks, when it’s exactly the opposite. Their love for each other is so fierce, it sometimes surprises his wife and her mother.
The semi-retired knight thinks back to his days with Vulcuran, all their barbs and ball busting. He lets out a little laugh, now thinking of Chance and Ferellus going at it all the time. He shakes his head and gets ready for bed.
He giggles one more time putting his head on the pillow remembering Ferellus talking to Chance, “who you bowing too dude? The stale cheese at the end of the plate?”
DMaster: You two make your way across the island, take the bridge to West Haven. It is where the commoners live. It is a small city with homes, apartments and a more appropriate market place. You get to this shed that is behind Ferellus’s house, it is kind of hidden by brush. You two walk in and head down a ladder, a short hallway leads to another ladder, That leads into his room
Chance: Chan: very sneaky
DMaster: FER: HA! Now you know how I always got in and out without noticing
Chance: Chan: Oddly, I am impressed
DMaster: There is a cot set up on the opposite side of Ferellus’s bed. A knock on the door
Chance: Set my stuff down
Chan: think you might wanna get the door, dingus?
DMaster: The door opens a bit. Ferellus looks over.
FER: DAD!
DAD: Hi Chance, nice to see you again, settling in?
He walks in the room.
Chance: Chan: yes I am thank you for having me, nice to see you as well. You won’t even know I am here
DMaster: He raises an eyebrow
DAD: So you will be invisible for Dinner?
FER: Don’t worry Dad, Chance randomly says weird things
Makes a circling motion around his ears
Chance: No, not invisible for dinner.
Give Ferellus a sharp glance.
DMaster: A woman sticks her head in.
MOM: Everything ok?
She walks in, stands next to his dad.
FER: Yeah Mom, we are good. I’m starving. What are we eating tonight?
Shanna bops her way in the room looking around.
SHA: What the hell is going on here?
Chance: Keep putting stuff away while Ferellus keeps talking, laugh a little.
DMaster: FER: Yes, Yes, come one, come all! Someone get Helynne and Saundra and we can have the whole damn island in here!
Your best friend is waving his hands around dramatically.
DAD: Ferellus…
SHAN: Why are you such a dork?
MOM: Chance is staying with us for a while until he has to go…. places…
She shrugs her shoulders
SHAN: (sighs), Great…
You and Ferellus finish putting things away, meet us out here for dinner.
Chance: Smirking to myself
DMaster: You eat dinner with their family, it was really nice. Afterwards you and Ferellus head to his room. You try and see what Shanna is doing as you walk by her door, never know. She is on her bed, on her belly, elbows up. Reading a book. Her cute butt up in the air a little, deep cleavage. You keep walking, get your flopper under control.
Chance: Oh well. I will crawl into bed and hide the necklace
DMaster: FER: Going to be pretty brutal next few weeks.
He says with a sigh, lays in bed
FER: Wonder if we will be allowed to join the siege? Probably not.
Chance: Chan: Yeah probably a good idea. Need to get you ready for the long term. We can do this Ferellus.
Wait a few minutes.
Chan: Can I show you something? But you got to keep this between us, okay?
DMaster: FER: sure
He sits up, interested.
Chance: Show him the necklace
DMaster: FER: Oh man, did you lift that?
Chance: Chan: Affinity left it behind for me, left it in a bed she made for us to, you know.
DMaster: FER: Affinity? Wait isn’t that the Princess? You are on a first named basis with Royalty?
His eyes wide looking at you and the necklace.
FER: Wait, you and the Princess. No, you are so full of shit.
Chance: Chan: No, I am not. We did things at Glimmer Bay when she was here.
Stare at him, serious.
DMaster: FER: So… you like, did it with a princess, in Glimmer Bay? You didn’t get caught? Really?
Chance: Chan: Dumb-ass, the island was empty with the Royals here.
DMaster: A look of realization washes over his face, eyes get bigger, mouth opens.
FER: Holy shit, you really did bang her? Holy shit.
You see his mind racing.
FER: I only saw her once, and she was, whoa.. wow. Fucking gorgeous. Her ladies were hot too, did you bang them? Did they watch or something? Hand you a towel or a cigarette?
Chance: Laugh.
Chan: Really? No. We snuck out, no one even knew we were gone, until her Mom… but, we won’t get into that.
DMaster: He is still staring out, mind racing.
FER: How’d her tits look? Was she tight? Did it smell like sugar cookies? Damn that’s pretty amazing.
He looks at the necklace you are holding.
FER: This probably means you did her right my man, getting a gift like that. If I got a gift for all the times I did a girl right… I would have an empty dresser drawer
His eyes are big, laughs.
Chance: Chan: it’s more than just that man.
kinda staring ahead
DMaster: FER: and your still banging Brit too… kudos man, you got game. Goddammit, you have serious game.
Drops back into his bed.
Chance: Chan: I think I am done with Britney for now. But not a word to anyone, okay? I plan to meet up with her in Camerondale.
DMaster: FER: Who would I tell? and why stop with Brit? You have fun with her. Can you let her know I am free and willing?
Chance: Chan: Well, the princess has my heart now
DMaster: He lets out a loud laugh. Covers his mouth and sits back up
FER: Did you get brained recently? She is the Princess! She has to marry some jamoke from Vermeer or some shit, what do you think these parties and meetings were about? Hell, didn’t you even help Cater their engagement party? It wasn’t to show off some dress or have a few ales.
Chance: Chan: Maybe not, you never know.
DMaster: Ferellus falls back down into the bed again
Chance: Chan: I mean if we become great heroes?
DMaster: FER: What? that’s going to happen in a month or so?
He slowly sits back up, laughs again.
FER: Oh man, you… don’t know do you? She is engaged now. You might have banged her while she was betrothed. When she returns to Camerondale, she will marry some Bozutto clown, a Prince of a hold in Vermeer, on the first day of summer. Hell even I knew that… and I am not even living on the same island.
Chance: Chan: ughhhhh let’s just go to sleep okay
DMaster: FER: This wedding is not going to stop for a half-breed bastard rogue.
He sees you are hurting
FER: Oh bud, I’m sorry. I’ll shut up now. I just thought you should at least know now. She didn’t tell you?
Chance: Cover my head and let a few tears flow
Chan: let’s just go to sleep, we have a lot to do tomorrow.
DMaster: Ferellus falls back down in the bed. You eventually fall asleep, but you do not sleep well
Chance: Pull the necklace close to me and try to get back to sleep
NEXT DAY
DMaster: You are sleeping, when suddenly, around 7:00 am the door swings open
Chance: Look up startled
DMaster: Shanna comes wheeling in… small undersized top, boobs bouncing all over in some sexy boyshorts. She is shaking a toothbrush in her hand
SHA: Ferellus, if you use my Toothbrush again, so help me Animax…
She stops suddenly and looks over to you, eyes widen.
SHA: Ooops….
The blonde girl looks down to see her tits half out, covers herself and walks out the door
Chance: bust out laughing
DMaster: FER: Welcome to my world Chance
Ferellus bounces out of bed
FER: time to get up slapnuts… I’ll hit the bath first
Chance: Chan: well having me around might keep her out of your room.
Giving Ferellus a look
DMaster: FER: Ohhh bonus!
Chance: Sit up while I am waiting on Ferellus to get done
DMaster: DAD: Chance did you want something to eat before me and Shysha leave for work?
A voice booms from the kitchen.
SHY: Get chance up, I have breakfast ready!
His father smirks.
DAD: Apparently you are eating
Chance: Chan: apparently
Sit down and eat
