"Oh, alright. My name is Imharwen Esslar. I was sent here to destroy the demon lord. Satisfied?"

Kalile · 06-03-2003, 10:12 PM

"I suppose, though I would like to know who sent you, and how I know I can trust you, but there is no time for that." Kalile turned indiferently and loaded her things. As she jumped onto the cart with Tahquamenon, she turned back. "Coming?"

As day broke, they rode into the starving city. Every resident crowded the streets, watching the supply cart. All of them were painfully thin, and many were missing from the last time they had come.
"I don't understand. Another wagon is supposed to be here," Kalile said worriedly.
Someone nearby heard, and turned. "The other cart was found two days ago. It was burned beyond repair, and everything in it and around it was destroyed as well. We also found the drivers' bodies..." a shadow passed over the other's face. Kalile bent her head. A moment later, she exclaimed, "I know you...!"
The other was thin, ragged, with sunken eyes, but it was undoubtably...

Ooc: Your cue, Sane!

OOC: Good to see you. [again]

...Was undoubtedly Leah Mirzay, Kalile's partner and once rival warrior. She had snuck into the city once before with a wagon load of goods, once she tried to go back her wagon was burned and her brother killed in a raid. Somehow she managed to stay alive and reach the city. Waiting for a chance to get out and strike her revenge.

"I though you were back east!"

"Unfortunatly no, Fate has carried and left me here. what are you doing here?"

"besides the obvious?" Kalile smiled in spite of her friends situation.

"how are you going to make it back out?"

"on the main road...How else?"

"pah... Unless you want to sign your own death certificate i suggest you sneak through the wood. Less mercinaries."

"Mercinaries????"

"How else do you think the roads could be blocked so efficiently?? No way one group of bandits could do this alone. Hell This isnt even bandits work! far to orginized! someone more powerful is behind this"

Tahquamenon returned and did a double take when he saw Leah standing above Kalile. he unsheathed a sword.

"Who the bloody hell is that wraith???!"

Kalile · 06-04-2003, 06:26 PM

Kalile paused, then spoke slowly. "I know who's behind this. A Demon Lord."
Leah and Imharwen traced the sign against evil on their chests.
"A demon lord? Are you sure?"
Kalile swallowed before aswering. "We met with one on the road. I thought that this was just a random attack, but I now suspect that this was because they have joined forces. Only Demon Lords hold so much power, or the audacity to attack supply carts. They must be trying to blockade cities, one by one!"

The last sane person · 06-04-2003, 09:46 PM

"well, now that we know who's behind it... what do we do?" Imharwen piped up next to Kalile. That was the questionon every ones mind.

"I opt for a back door assult on the Demon lord. If two little elves could inflict that kind of damage right off the cuff. It ought to get a little easier when we have a plan!" I bursted out. Kalile and the others nodded in consent.

"But what abou the other cities?" Tahquamenon voiced my concern.

"well, we're just gona have to be quick abput it then. Arent we??" Imharwen retorted.

Kalile · 06-09-2003, 04:40 PM

"We can figure out what to do when we've gotten out of the city," Kalile spoke up,"we're stuck here, remember?"

The last sane person · 06-11-2003, 12:23 AM

"Oh fine! This way to the back of the forest! Let us wait till midnight so we can gather what is needed and slip out at the changing og the guards." I was impatient to get on the move.

IC: Imharwen looked inside the pack she carried everywhere. She pulled out a dark green cloak." Are we ready to go now?"
