Vulcuran: laughing

DMaster: CASSIE: It was sweet

Vulcuran: Vulc: hey cCassie how do you like the ring by the way

DMaster: CASSIE: hmmm it will do... I guess *winks*

Vulcuran: Vulc: well Xavier helped me pick it out

Vulcuran: smirk at Xavier

DMaster: XAVIER: *looks around* Whaaa? It was the most expensive one there is....

Vulcuran: chuckling

DMaster: XAVIER: You are lucky I didn't steal your engagement ring for him.

DMaster: THe night goes on and everyone starts to leave

DMaster: They all come over and congratulate you and hug you

Vulcuran: say my goodbyes to everyone

Vulcuran: hug everyone back

DMaster: Cassie takes your hand and walks you to your room through the

    utility doors.

Vulcuran: let her lead the way

Vulcuran: so I can enjoy the view

DMaster: You can only see the outlines of her curves and the dress sway

    back and forth.

DMaster: she opens your door whips you in the room and walks in

DMaster: closes the door behind you and locks it.

DMaster: She turns around and walks to you andputs her hand on your chest

    and pushes you on the bed

DMaster: she slowly moves her strap off her shoulder on one arm, and than

    the other and the dress drops to the ground.

Vulcuran: Vulc: now Cassie slow down we have all night

Vulcuran: smirking

DMaster: CASS: *looks at you funny* I know... you can last all night too.

DMaster: She was cammando. She slowly takes off her bra and wings it

    across the room.

Vulcuran: Pull her close and kiss her neck

Vulcuran: and let my hands go down her back

Vulcuran: and go back up her back to her hair

DMaster: she leans in and starts taking your cothes off, unbuckeling your belt.

Vulcuran: I let her take my clothes off definately no resistance from me

Vulcuran: play with her hair alittle

DMaster: Takes off pants, shirts, everything else.

DMaster: you two intermingle for a while, just enjoying each other's warmth

DMaster: kissing, rolling around, laughing

DMaster: then she pins you down and starts riding you

Vulcuran: buck my hips a little

Vulcuran: kinda have an evil smirk on my face

DMaster: you two switch positions 40 times it seems each time getting better.

DMaster: sweat rolling down each other, you can taste it when you kiss her

Vulcuran: sure we wear each other out

DMaster: you two nap a bit but wake up and start again

DMaster: just as wild as before

DMaster: than both of you go to far to one end and fall off the bed

DMaster: both landing with a thud

DMaster: Losing your breath... you hear her gasp a little

DMaster: you both laugh for a while...

DMaster: and you start to go at it on the floor

Vulcuran: sweat rolling down each other

Vulcuran: floor works just as well

DMaster: you two eventually fall asleep on the rug that is on the floor and

    around the bed

DMaster: you are laying on your back and she is laying across your chest

Vulcuran: no complaints from me

Vulcuran: probably sleep a long time too

Vulcuran: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Vulcuran: wink at her

Vulcuran: Vulc: suppose we better get dressed and go to the meeting

Vulcuran: pull myself up to Cassie's face and give her a kiss

DMaster: CASS: Unless we want to go naked...

DMaster: She kisses you back

Vulcuran: Vulc: umm no we dont smirking

Vulcuran: Vulc: only one person is allowed to see me naked anymore and that is you 

Vulcuran: laughing

DMaster: CASS: *scrunches her nose* lucky me!

DMaster: CASS: I didn't have a change of clothes, so I had Xavier go get me some

DMaster: She stands up and starts to get dressed

DMaster: She slaps your ass as you walk by

Vulcuran: Vulc: remember ass of steel

DMaster: She is standing at the door

DMaster: CASS: Are you ready or did you want to go knit a blanket as well...

Vulcuran: Vulc: we better get to the meeting before they send someone to get us

Vulcuran: Vulc: and ya didnt wake me up

DMaster: CASS: Nope. You need your... ummm rest

Vulcuran: Vulc: and what is that suppose to mean? You trying to tell me I am old?

Vulcuran: smirking

DMaster: Shrugs her shoulders, opens the door and walks out

Vulcuran: follow behind

Vulcuran: walk next to her as we head down to the meeting

DMaster: Vatikus was making his way up the hallway

DMaster: VAT: Oh m'lord they asked me to get you

Vulcuran: Vulc: I am on my way as you can see

Vulcuran: Vulc: tell them we are on our way

DMaster: VAT: yes m'lord

Vulcuran: smirk at Cassie

DMaster: You two walk into the meeting room

DMaster: Xavier, King, and Alyndri are there

Vulcuran: Vulc: sorry we are late 

Vulcuran: I bow 

DMaster: King looks up and smirks

Vulcuran: Vulc: that would be my fault since I sleep like a rock

Vulcuran: smirk back

DMaster: KING: Tis ok Vulc

DMaster: XAVIER: *rolls his eyes* your just a shade under 2 hours late, great....

Vulcuran: Vulc: sorry mother

Vulcuran: smirking

DMaster: Thames walks in after you

Vulcuran: Vulc: well please get us up to speed M'lord

DMaster: THAMES: Holy shit! You are alive, I thought maybe Cassie draining all

    the bodily fluids from you... like a SEX vampire!

DMaster: Alyndri giggles and blushes, the King laughes

DMaster: XAVIER: Not funny man thats my sister

Vulcuran: smirk at thames

Vulcuran: bet even cassie is laughing or smirking

Vulcuran: Vulc: Xavier lighten up alittle 

Vulcuran: smirk his way

DMaster: She is shaking her head and sits down

Vulcuran: sit down as well

DMaster: KING: Ok well now that everyone is here lets start

DMaster: KING: THames, please enlighten us on your little adventure you took last week

DMaster: KING: Ok while all of you were off cutting heads off of Vampires...

Vulcuran: sit back and listen

DMaster: KING: Thames, on my orders, went looking for something.

DMaster: XAVIER: hmmmm I am guessing the Medallion of the dead

DMaster: The King, THames and Alyndri's eyes pop out of their head

DMaster: THAMES: How could you of known that?

DMaster: XAVIER: You left and heading north for the great temple of Animax?

DMaster: XAVIER: You must of ran into some snow driders before you got to

    the burial grounds of the saints

DMaster: Thames looks at him wide eyed

DMaster: XAVIER: Recovered the artifact and barely made it out of there with your life

Vulcuran: just keep listening

DMaster: XAVIER: High tailed it back here and raised your glasses with us last night

DMaster: THAMES: mmmmm ok, what time today did I take a shit this morning...

DMaster: Everyone laughes

Vulcuran: smirk alittle

DMaster: Xavier doesn't laugh and replies

DMaster: XAVIER: 7 o'clock

Vulcuran: slap forehead

DMaster: Thames stares at him in disbeleif

Vulcuran: Vulc: you had to ask didnt you thames

DMaster: Cassie looks over at her brother and smiles with pride

DMaster: CASSIE: He's weird that way, I mean not the poop thing

DMaster: CASS: He can put things together pretty quick

DMaster: CASS: Im lazy and I will just read your mind instead

DMaster: CASS: Speaking of that.... Vulc is thinking about my ass right now

DMaster: smacks your arm

DMaster: CASS: STOP!

DMaster: Everyone laughes

Vulcuran: laugh

Vulcuran: Vulc: Hey I was not

Vulcuran: smirking

Vulcuran: Vulc: okay all now to be a party pooper but we must get serious here

Vulcuran: now+ not

DMaster: THAMES: Well Xavier is... uncanny

DMaster: THAMES: But dead on... I had to barter my way past the Snow driders

DMaster: THAMES: They warned me of the dangers inside

DMaster: THAMES: And they were wrong

DMaster: THAMES: Its a death trap, Wraithes EVERYWHERE. just floating around,

    moaning and whining

DMaster: THAMES: Lets just say think of the OPPOSITE the Summerville Islands...

Vulcuran: sitting back and listen

DMaster: THAMES: I found the Medallion and the second I touched it, it was like

    I rang the doorbell and yelled "HERE I AM!"

DMaster: THAMES: THey all came after me... luckily I am fast and they were not

DMaster: I avoided most, fought a few and got the hell out of there

Vulcuran: keep listening

DMaster: THAMES: I made my way past Rockdale and the only thing Xavier missed was...

DMaster: THAMES: I was ambushed by thieves.

DMaster: THAMES: young and inexperienced I bested all of them but was

    left with this *tracing his scar on his face*

DMaster: THAMES: And yes I made it in time to watch Vulc here dedicate

    himself to one vagina

Vulcuran: shaking my head

DMaster: XAVIER: *taking a sip of juice spits it across the room* PTTHTHTHHTHH

DMaster: XAVIER: Heads up next time Thames... mmmkay buddy?

DMaster: Everyone laughes

DMaster: CASSIE: Gives him a fun-evil look

Vulcuran: smirk alittle

Vulcuran: and sit back and listen

DMaster: ALYNDRI: THe Madallion of the dead is a powerful artifact

Vulcuran: Vulc: pardon my ignorance but just what does it do alyndri

DMaster: ALYNDRI: I'm getting to that

DMaster: ALYNDRI: It was forged and created by the Saints of Animax to ward off

    the evils that can lurk after death. It blesses the dead so to speak.

DMaster: ALYNDRI: But things went VERY wrong

Vulcuran: keep listening

DMaster: ALYNDRI: WHat was supposed to be a beacon against the undead became

    almost a artifact of great power for the undead.

DMaster: ALYNDRI: Skello would LOVE to have it... it can control undead, it also,

    as Thames found out, that when worn or touched, any undead will be alerted and they will be attracted to it.

    Now Thames was speciffically warned about wearing the medallion, it would make him mad... no comments please.

Vulcuran: Vulc: so we are gonna use that to our advantage then

DMaster: ALYNDRI: Well there is a catch

Vulcuran: Vulc: always is

DMaster: XAVIER: *rolls his eyes* always is...

Vulcuran: smirk at Xavier

DMaster: Everyone smiles

DMaster: ALYNDRI: Even with my experience and level with Animax himself,

     I beleive WEARING this medallion would make ME mad.

Vulcuran: keep listening 

DMaster: ALYNDRI: IT is very uncontrollable

DMaster: ALYNDRI: It was magic gone wrong and why I for one am glad magic is

    banned in the land.

DMaster: CASSIE: Then what the hell are we doing with it?

Vulcuran: Vulc: so then how are gonna use it to our advantage

DMaster: ALYNDRI: by touching the Medallion it still alerts the undead.

DMaster: ALYNDRI: SO one of you can touch the medallion and...

Vulcuran: Vulc: and attract the undead

DMaster: CASSIE: the undead move away from Skello

DMaster: ALYNDRI: Yes, Skello is much to powerful to be controlled or lured,

    so his legions move away and leave him vunerable to attack OR he moves towards it and you can smash the Phlatercy

DMaster: XAVIER: That could be quite an advantage

Vulcuran: Vulc: yeah to a degree

Vulcuran: Vulc: but we still have to remember his phlatercy is still deadly to us the living, exploding, gases.

DMaster: XAVIER: YEs, Cassie has been practicing her Psoinics and can crush a

    rock at about 200 feet

DMaster: CASSIE: Ive been able to do damage to things at 400 feet

DMaster: CASSIE: But crushing things I need to be 200 feet

Vulcuran: Vulc: and we have to remember we cant be close when it explodes either for fear of what will happen

DMaster: KING: I have the Alchemists working on "masks" of sort for you three...

DMaster: KING: That will protect you from the poisin gas

DMaster: THAMES: Yeah kind of like Vulc after eating spiced potatoes

DMaster: Everyone laughes

Vulcuran: Vulc: or you on a night of drinking Thames

Vulcuran: smirking

DMaster: THAMES: *nods in agreement* yes... Carol will attest to that

Vulcuran: Vulc: yeah poor Carol

Vulcuran: laughing

DMaster: XAVIER: Ok so lets get this straight up

DMaster: XAV: We have a medallion that will lure the legions away

DMaster: XAV: We have masks to protect us from gas

DMaster: XAV: Cassie can be @ 200 feet and crush the Phlatercy

DMaster: XAV: That is what we are going in with?

DMaster: ALYNDRI: Also the Holy water weapon wipe on.

Vulcuran: Vulc: but there still has to be a catch Xavier like who is gonna be the one to touch the medallion

DMaster: KING: That is something you three will figure out

Vulcuran: Vulc: still have alot going in our favor

Vulcuran: Vulc: for a change

DMaster: KING: We picked a good time... you will have lots of cover if you

    leave tomorrow morning...

DMaster: XAV: Oh?

Vulcuran: look at the king

DMaster: KING: Yes Intelligence reports Skello is parked at Tullus Prax

DMaster: KING: Lots of Ruins and trees and the such to hide.

Vulcuran: Vulc: very true our skills will benefit us there wont be able to see us coming

DMaster: Xavier glances over at Cassie with wide eyes....

DMaster: CASSIE: *smiles at her brother* This is VERY good news... we were

    worried about how we could get close enough

Vulcuran: just keep listening now

DMaster: XAVIER: We should leave now, and make sure we get there in time

DMaster: King nods in agreement

Vulcuran: Vulc: I agree

Vulcuran: Vulc: we should all go get ready then 

DMaster: KING: Agreed.

DMaster: THe King stands up

DMaster: KING: You three... have the fate of the world in your hands

DMaster: KING: *looks down* I never wanted to give you this burden

DMaster: KING: *looks up* but I wouldnt want any three other people doing this job....

Vulcuran: Vulc: well it is a burden we accept M'lord Camerondale is our home 

DMaster: KING: COme home safe and we shall feast again with

    the Kings and Queens of Legon!

Vulcuran: Vulc: Aye M'lord we shall

Vulcuran: smiling

DMaster: Cassie has a very sullen look on her face, in deep thought.

DMaster: She stands up, gives you a kiss on the cheek and walks out the door

DMaster: Xavier looks at you, and nods, than walks out the door

DMaster: Thames walks over to you

Vulcuran: Vulc: well Thames looks like I am off to save the world... 

DMaster: Puts his hands on your shoulder

DMaster: looks you square in the eye

Vulcuran: look right back at him

DMaster: THAMES: Come back to me my friend. 

DMaster: and hugs you

Vulcuran: Vulc: I plan on it *hug him back*

DMaster: ALYNDRI: Vulcuran *thames walks away*

Vulcuran: look at Alyndri

DMaster: She grabs your face and brings it to her lips

DMaster: she kisses your forehead

Vulcuran: Vulc: will some of that holy water goop be in my room

DMaster: ALYNDRI: *looks at you perplexing* Animax needs you, you are meant for

    something and I truly think this is it...

Vulcuran: Vulc: still wish I knew what it was

Vulcuran: kinda look down

DMaster: ALYNDRI: WE love you very much and come home to us

DMaster: She hugs you and than walks out the door

Vulcuran: Vulc: I plan on it Alyndri *hug back*

DMaster: KING: Well my boy

Vulcuran: Vulc: yes I know its off to save the world again M'lord

DMaster: HE smiles and puts his hand on your shoulder.

DMaster: KING: I never feel good sending people into battle, but you have

    always come home triumphantly

Vulcuran: Vulc: I just hope Animax knows what he is doing picking me 

Vulcuran: smirk

DMaster: KING: *looks at you, hugs you* I will see you in the back banquet room,

    so no one knows what is going on

DMaster: KING: Too many ears, too many mouths

Vulcuran: Vulc: as you command M'lord

DMaster: He walks out of the room

Vulcuran: sit there for a moment take all this in

Vulcuran: and then head to my room

DMaster: You thought you had a few days

DMaster: now its only a few hours

Vulcuran: well no time to think about it too much now

Vulcuran: head to my room

DMaster: ok you are in your room getting everything ready

DMaster: stealth is the key

Vulcuran: gonna wear my full leather armor

Vulcuran: make sure I coat my sword daggers and arrows with the holy water goop

DMaster: ok you did have a vial of that when you returned from the vampire hunt

Vulcuran: I do believe so

Vulcuran: pluger gave me one when we standing over the hole

DMaster: yup

Vulcuran: so I am going coat my weapons good

Vulcuran: make sure I dont forget anything this time either

Vulcuran: grab sword daggers bow etc 

DMaster: wear your dark leather armor?

Vulcuran: yes

Vulcuran: and a dark cloak as well

Vulcuran: grab some charcoal as well for my face

Vulcuran: so as to color it black later

Vulcuran: and then put armor on 

DMaster: ok so you have all of the weapons you need, cloak, black out (charcoal)

    and your thief armor

Vulcuran: and make sure I have all my sheaths

DMaster: your weapons are coated

Vulcuran: look around to make sure I havent forgot anything

Vulcuran: cant afford any mistakes this time

DMaster: Ok you do have everything you need

Vulcuran: and will head to the back banquet room

DMaster: ok you are the first to get there

DMaster: its fairly dark with only a few rays of light shining through

    the covered windows

Vulcuran: just wait patiently

Vulcuran: kinda play with one of my daggers while I wait

DMaster: The King comes in very quietly

DMaster: he walks over to you

DMaster: KING: Xavier and Cassie are on their way

DMaster: He hands you a bag

Vulcuran: Vulc: *whispering* the medallion M'Lord

Vulcuran: holding the bag

DMaster: He nods in agreement

DMaster: He is holding 3 contraptions that all look alike

Vulcuran: Vulc: and the masks we will need

DMaster: nods again

Vulcuran: Vulc: not as dumb as I look 

Vulcuran: force a smile

Vulcuran: and wait for Xavier and Cassie to get here

DMaster: KING *whispering in jest* debatable my boy.... debatable

Vulcuran: smirking

DMaster: Xavier and Cassie make there way in... through a window on the far wall.

DMaster: Xavier has dark leather on that almost looks like scale mail

DMaster: dark cloak with a hood

DMaster: Cassie has an almost identical outfit on, but has breast plates instead.

Vulcuran: smile when they come in

Vulcuran: and wait to see what the King has to say before we leave

DMaster: Cassie looks tired and worried

DMaster: she doesn't look at you

DMaster: she seems Preoccupied.

DMaster: The King hands the masks to each one of you

DMaster: he grabs one from his pouch and shows you how it fits on

Vulcuran: make sure I pay attention to how he shows us how to put it on

DMaster: you understand and do it correctly.

DMaster: KING: *whispering* There is a tunnel I have never told anyone about...

    you will be taking it out of the city. It will take you to the banks of Northern Shimmer bay

Vulcuran: put mask where I can access it easy

DMaster: ok

DMaster: The king walks you to the utility door you walked through last night

DMaster: Down a passageway that would normally lead to his chambers

Vulcuran: and let the king do his thing

DMaster: but he stops halfway

DMaster: pushes a stone and a door slides open

DMaster: It is a drop of 20 feet, a ladder on the far wall, a lantern hanging

    and lit above you in the open area

Vulcuran: just keep listening and looking

Vulcuran: taking all this in

Vulcuran: Vulc: well at least no one will notice us leaving

DMaster: you three walk down the ladder

DMaster: than start down the dank, moist tunnel

DMaster: you walk for almost a half mile and reach the tunnel

DMaster: that leads outside

Vulcuran: well keep moving

DMaster: you reach the outside

DMaster: its 15 oclock

DMaster: time to open dukes den you think to yourself

Vulcuran: thinking of all the loved ones I am leaving behind

Vulcuran: as well as friends

Vulcuran: and thinking what I do is for the safety of all of them

DMaster: you head immediately east and take cover into the lush forest that is

    north of the City of Camerondale

DMaster: you pick your way through the forest

Vulcuran: this should feel natural to me anyways

Vulcuran: since I am a ranger 

DMaster: you walk for what seems 5-6 hours and you stop

DMaster: XAVIER: Lets just get something in our stomachs, and than keep moving

Vulcuran: Vulc: I agree with you

DMaster: you guys nibble on food, none of you are hungry but understand that it

    will be important to have energy

DMaster: thats Xavier

Vulcuran: okay

Vulcuran: nibble and kinda remain quiet

Vulcuran: deep in thought

DMaster: Cassie has been VERY quiet

DMaster: she seems to be staring out into space all the time except when you are

    moving than she is alert

DMaster: you guys finish your rations

Vulcuran: let her do her thing

Vulcuran: Vulc: suppose we should get a move on eh Xavier

Vulcuran: Vulc: I am glad to have both of you by side

DMaster: take a long swig of water, you all take a leak and move on

Vulcuran: back to being quiet

Vulcuran: and stay sharp

DMaster: you guys rifle through the forest like a young deer, barely noticeable

DMaster: you guys move pretty quick 

DMaster: you watch as the sun sets through the trees

Vulcuran: look to the heavens and think to myself I hope you know what you are doing animax

DMaster: you cant really see the heavens yet from the tree cover

Vulcuran: well look toward where the sky would be

DMaster: it is a bit warm with a light breezes that runs through the budding leaves

Vulcuran: keep moving

DMaster: you guys reach the edge of the forest, you are looking over the

    north-eastern portion of the teeter wind plains

DMaster: Its about 22 oclock.

DMaster: XAVIER: Well... I dont want to camp in the middle of the plains,

    so this is as good as any

DMaster: Cassie nods and breaks out her backpack

Vulcuran: Vulc: sounds good to me

DMaster: Xavier throws you a ration

DMaster: Xavier clears a spot for all of you, behind a bush that gives you good cover

Vulcuran: let them do their thing just kinda look out into the distances

DMaster: the sky is cluttered with stars shining bright

Vulcuran: deep in thought and praying... well brother I hope I have done you proud

DMaster: the moons are rising in the NE so you can't really see them but the

    shadows from them are cast across the trees and plains

Vulcuran: looking at the stars

DMaster: XAVIER: All set, we should get rest right away... we can set off early morning

DMaster: Cassie grabs your hand and you two lay in a sleeping roll together

DMaster: snuggling

Vulcuran: just try to relax

DMaster: she rests her head on your shoulder, eyes wide in her lalala land again

Vulcuran: and close my eyes a bit

DMaster: you slowly doze off

DMaster: you get woken up

Vulcuran: look around

DMaster: Its cassie, she is balling on your shoulder, crying uncontrollably

Vulcuran: pull her close and hold her

DMaster: she is trembling... 

Vulcuran: Vulc: my love what is wrong

DMaster: CASSIE: One of us are not coming back... I had a vision

DMaster: CASSIE: I WILL return... it is for certain...

Vulcuran: Vulc: well then that means it is either me or Xavier

DMaster: CASSIE: *sob* you *choke* or Xav....

DMaster: She rolls over ontop of you and fiddles around with your pants

DMaster: she puts you inside her and you guys make love... quietly not to wake Xavier

Vulcuran: let things take their course

DMaster: you two finish and fall fast asleep

DMaster: you are woken up

Vulcuran: look around yet again

DMaster: XAVIER: Time to go sleeping beauties...

DMaster: HE is all set to go with his cloak over him

DMaster: Cassie jumps up and gets ready

Vulcuran: get ready as well

DMaster: you three get ready and head out into the plains

DMaster: moving quickly you move at a pace quicker than a fast walk but
 
slower than a run

Vulcuran: keeping sharp as we move

DMaster: after 6 hours of traveling Cassie pulls up

DMaster: CASS: lets just grab a bite, Xav you still have that rough map of Tullus?

DMaster: XAVIER: *throwing everyone a ration* yes here *pulls a scroll*

Vulcuran: nibble as I look out on the plains

DMaster: You glance over to Cassie and Xavier and you realize how close they are

DMaster: talking in a weird 'cant' that you can't understand

DMaster: it almost seems like they communicate better that way

Vulcuran: not gonna try and understand

DMaster: crouched next to each other they look over the map and trace their

    hands where they think they should go

Vulcuran: keep looking out at the plains

Vulcuran: grab my charcoal and coat my face with it

DMaster: XAVIER: *walks over to you* We are thinking of taking a NW approach,

    there seems to be the ruins of the City there and lots of ruins

Vulcuran: Vulc: that sounds logical more cover

DMaster: you see beyond Xavier to see Cassie is throwing up

DMaster: CASSIE *gagg* dammmmm I didnt see that coming.... *bleck*

DMaster: Xavier looks at you with concern

DMaster: XAV: Cass you ok?

Vulcuran: Vulc: are you okay cassie

DMaster: She looks as shocked as you do

DMaster: CASS: I am just really stressed.

DMaster: CASS: Ill be fine *wiping her mouth*

Vulcuran: Vulc: you sure that is all and not more

DMaster: Cassie grabs a water and drinks it down

DMaster: CASS: I feel better

DMaster: XAV: Ok, probably just nerves

DMaster: Xavier looks at you with concern again without Cassie seeing him

DMaster: Xavier looked as though he said "we'll talk about it later"

Vulcuran: I will let it be for the moment

DMaster: you three move on as quick as before

DMaster: nothing, you see a few deer and critters but nothing of interest

DMaster: Clear blue skies

DMaster: good temperatures

DMaster: 65-70

Vulcuran: staying as sharp as my sense allow

DMaster: you can see like 5 miles away

DMaster: you guys stop once more and eat

Vulcuran: keep moving

Vulcuran: okay I will eat kind keep an eye on cassie

DMaster: its like 21 oclock (5ish our time)

Vulcuran: since I am concerned

DMaster: You guys sit in a circle and eat

DMaster: Xavier is testing out the masks

DMaster: it wraps around your neck and over your mouth

DMaster: XAVIER: *muffled* Well designed

Vulcuran: just stay quiet for a change

DMaster: CASSIE: I dropped a rock about 300 feet away

DMaster: Xavier turns to her

DMaster: XAV: Go for it sis

Vulcuran: let them do their thing 

DMaster: you see her put her hands by her temple... you see her strain 

DMaster: shake

DMaster: turning red

Vulcuran: fidget with a dagger a little to calm nerves

DMaster: about 300 feet away the rock explodes

DMaster: you see dust fly

Vulcuran: smile alittle

DMaster: Cassie gets out of her trance and she falls back a little

DMaster: Xavier puts his arm around her

DMaster: XAV: How do you feel?

DMaster: CASS: Kind of wiped out

DMaster: XAV: That settles it

Vulcuran: looking at them

DMaster: XAV: we will have to get closer

DMaster: XAV: Can you continue?

DMaster: CASS: OF course

DMaster: the two look at each other and nod

DMaster: XaV kisses her forehead and sits back down and finishes his rations

Vulcuran: fidget with dagger alittle more

Vulcuran: I got a feeling whats going on but I wont say anything until Xavier approaches me about it

Vulcuran: just stay quiet and think about my experience at the temple

DMaster: Cassie walks off a bit to take a dump and leak

DMaster: Xavier sits next to you

DMaster: XAV: She is ok

DMaster: XAV: I never seen her bust a rock from that far away

Vulcuran: Vulc: you sure she is 100% okay

Vulcuran: Vulc: got a feeling you arent telling me something

DMaster: XAV: I am not sure I am 100%... this is a suicide mission my friend...

    we fail... the world becomes skello's playground

Vulcuran: Vulc: we wont fail Xavier

Vulcuran: Vulc: we cant

Vulcuran: Vulc: and I will be damned if I am letting the world become skello's playground

DMaster: He nods his head in agreement

Vulcuran: Vulc: we have too many friends and family to let him hurt 

Vulcuran: Vulc: I for one aint gonna let him do that and if it means I must go be with Animax so be it

Vulcuran: look down alittle

DMaster: Cassie returns

DMaster: she looks at you two, pauses and smiles, a tear runs down her cheek

DMaster: CASS: Lets go you slackers

Vulcuran: smile at cassie

DMaster: she smiles back, a forced painful smile

Vulcuran: Vulc: guess we should get a move on eh Xavier

DMaster: He nods, gets his stuff and you three move on

DMaster: The way you figure you are about a days journey from Tullus Prax. 

DMaster: about a day earlier than an army would arrive

Vulcuran: well yeah a small group can move fast

DMaster: tomorrow night is what you are figuring

DMaster: 28 hours and its gonna be the battle for Legon

Vulcuran: keep moving trying not to think

DMaster: you three move through the plains for almost the entire night under the cover of 
darkness

DMaster: only stopping momentarily for a pee/poo break and something to eat

DMaster: the weather is cooperating, clear skies temperatures are good

Vulcuran: need something to go our way for a change

DMaster: about 3 oclock

DMaster: 2-215ish AM our time

DMaster: XAV: I am sure you guys are exhausted

DMaster: Xavier puts his gear down

DMaster: Cassie digs in her puch and grabs rations

DMaster: throws them to the both of you

Vulcuran: kinda sit and look out to the sky

DMaster: XAV: CASSIE!

Vulcuran: look over at cassie

DMaster: she is laying flat on her back passed out

Vulcuran: run to her side

DMaster: Xavier does as well

DMaster: she is unconscious

DMaster: Xavier looks at you

DMaster: XAV: This is not good, we can't have her konked out while we fight Skello

DMaster: XAV: *shakes head* she must of been struggling for hours... Cassie... dammit.

Vulcuran: Vulc: no kidding Xavier

DMaster: CASSIE: *grumbled* shut up

DMaster: She leans up and you and Xavier help her lean up

DMaster: CAS: I just got dizzy from running so much

DMaster: she has her head in her hand while you and Xavier exchange glances

Vulcuran: look at Xavier 

DMaster: he looks at you with great concern and than looks back at Cassie

DMaster: CAS: Lets just sleep...

DMaster: She lays back down

Vulcuran: I will stay awake for awhile

DMaster: Cassie surprisingly fell fast asleep

Vulcuran: let her sleep

DMaster: Xavier covers her with a blanket

DMaster: you and Xavier walk a bit

DMaster: XAV: Vulc... *shaking his head* what the fuck is going on.... *rubs his temples*

Vulcuran: Vulc: Xavier I know she is stressed but there is more than that going on

Vulcuran: Vulc: I may not be a cleric or anything

Vulcuran: Vulc: but if ya ask me alot of the signs cassie is showing makes me think she might be ummmmm

Vulcuran: look down

DMaster: XAV: ummmm what the fuck is Ummmm *showing his stress for the first time on the 
trip*

Vulcuran: Vulc: maybe with Child Xavier

DMaster: XAV: Ive never seen her like-

Vulcuran: Vulc: unless I am wrong

DMaster: he stops mid sentence

DMaster: you see the wheels turning in his head

DMaster: looks at you

DMaster: crouches down puts head in hands.

DMaster: XAV: Not now... NOT now...

DMaster: rubs his temples more

Vulcuran: crouch down as well

Vulcuran: staying sharp

DMaster: Xav: well lets get sleep

DMaster: XAV: We dont know for sure

DMaster: He puts his roll out

Vulcuran: lay near cassie thinking alittle bit

DMaster: you slowly drift off

DMaster: you are woken by birds chirping

Vulcuran: sit up and look around

DMaster: Cassie is still sound asleep

DMaster: Xavier is rubbing his eyes and looking at a family of birds

    just a stones throw away making a ton of racket

DMaster: He has that evil twinge in his eye as he glares at the birds

Vulcuran: let him do his thing

Vulcuran: look out into the distances

DMaster: you get hit in the head

Vulcuran: with what

DMaster: rations

Vulcuran: looking around

DMaster: XAVIER: *smirks* sorry man thought you were paying attention

Vulcuran: Vulc: sorry was distracted

DMaster: XAVIER: Wake cassie

Vulcuran: go over and kiss cassie on the cheek

DMaster: she doesnt wake right away

DMaster: but she leans up out of no where and yells

DMaster: CASS: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

DMaster: sweat running down her face

DMaster: she is brething heavy

DMaster: Looks around and sees you two

Vulcuran: Vulc: cassie are you okay

DMaster: CASS: Oh thank Animax... what a nightmare

DMaster: Xavier looks away like he doesnt want to show that he is worried

Vulcuran: touch her cheek with my hand

Vulcuran: Vulc: are you gonna be okay my love

DMaster: Her frantic expression almost instantly turns to relief once you touch her cheek

DMaster: CASS: *shaking her head* yes... I will be fine

Vulcuran: kiss her cheek again now that she is awake

Vulcuran: and look over at xavier

Vulcuran: with concern

DMaster: he isnt looking

DMaster: you know why he is just keeping to himself

DMaster: Cassie gets up and gets ready

Vulcuran: go sit near xavier 

Vulcuran: while cassie gets ready

DMaster: he is standing up and all geared to go

DMaster: XAV: We have to decide who is doing what

Vulcuran: Vulc: yes we do

Vulcuran: sigh alittle

DMaster: XAV: Cassie... you are using the medallion and crushing the Sphynckter

DMaster: CASS: DID you just call it a Sphynckter *giggling*

DMaster: shrugs his shoulders

Vulcuran: smirk at Xavier

DMaster: CASS: I thought we decided we were going to let Vulc do that

DMaster: XAV: *looks at her for the first time since she passed out* well....

DMaster: CASS: Ok... fine. I will but don't think I wont be running in kicking

    some ass later

DMaster: he nods in agreement

Vulcuran: smiling 

Vulcuran: Vulc: and just what am I doing then

DMaster: XAV: You are with me, we have to go after Skello it will take both of

   us to kill the fucker

Vulcuran: Vulc: yeah I am sure it will

DMaster: CASSIE: I will situate myself at one of the farthest ruins and

    touch the medallion

DMaster: CASSIE: This will bring them legions to me

Vulcuran: Vulc: just be careful cassie will you

DMaster: CASSIE: as well as Skello I am sure he is wondering what the hell is going on

DMaster: CASSIE: Once the legions have gotten close enough and Skello, I will crush 
his... what you call it... SPHYNKTER

Vulcuran: Vulc: his phlatercy

Vulcuran: smirking

DMaster: CASSIE: Funny... it sounds like we traveled this whole way to destroy

    an undead creatures poop shoot

Vulcuran: Vulc: it does doesnt it smirking

DMaster: Xavier shakes his head smiling

DMaster: XAVIER: we are about a half day to Tullus and another two hours to find out way 
around to the NW side

Vulcuran: Vulc: well then we better get a move on shouldnt we

DMaster: XAVIER: Yes, but we wont move as fast

DMaster: XAV: Conserve the energey *glancing at Cassie*

DMaster: CASS: Bitch dont look at me like that

DMaster: He shakes his head and starts to head out

Vulcuran: kinda look over at cassie as well

Vulcuran: as we move out

DMaster: she shakes her head and moves out as well

DMaster: a brisk walk is the pace you use

Vulcuran: stay sharp

Vulcuran: and keep moving

DMaster: you guys move along

DMaster: you stop for 15 minutes to potty and eat

DMaster: it was about 15 oclock

Vulcuran: eat and stay quiet

DMaster: by 18 oclock

DMaster: you see storm clouds rolling in from the south

DMaster: XAV: Good. The darker the better

Vulcuran: still staying kinda quiet

DMaster: you are on the outskirts of Tullus prax, in the distance you see what

    looks to be armies... of undead presumably.

DMaster: XAV: Ok we need to circle around them 

DMaster: XAV: I don't think they have scouting parties, we would of seen them by now

DMaster: CASS: any movement they see will alert them

Vulcuran: Vulc: well lets be careful not to be noticed then

DMaster: XAV: Lets back track a half kmile and make our way around and wait for night 
fall

Vulcuran: Vulc: okay lets do it 

DMaster: you three back track.

DMaster: XAV: Here eat *hands you and cassie a weird looking ration*

DMaster: CASS: Oh shit his crazy ass rations

Vulcuran: Vulc: what the heck is this

Vulcuran: eat it up

Vulcuran: trying to keep calm

Vulcuran: and wait to move out

DMaster: CASS: its filled with vitamins and stuff helps you keep alert

Vulcuran: Vulc: ahhhhh I see

DMaster: she chokes it down

DMaster: gags a little

Vulcuran: chomp on mine

Vulcuran: and keep an eye on cassie

DMaster: it does taste horrible

Vulcuran: try and ignore taste and get it down

Vulcuran: Vulc: you could have at least made it taste good Xavier

Vulcuran: smirk

DMaster: he shakes his head

DMaster: you three make your way around the ruins

DMaster: and sit at the ruins of a tower of the old Tullus Prax

DMaster: a good mile away from the closest undead

DMaster: ok
