RP channel logs: Solo: Ordici

The stranger The woman

[RP]: (Ordici): It is night time in the city of Sendar. A shadow is moving down the alley stopping every three or four steps to look off into the distance.
[RP]: (Ordici): The drunkard rubs his eyes, not believing what he is seeing. He takes a look at his empty bottle and looks again at the shadow. Shaking his head the drunkard tosses the bottle aside, but he keeps an eye on the shadowy figure.
[RP]: (Ordici): Finally, as the drunkard is watching the shadowy form comes into the light of the torch. The drunkard recognized the young man with a scar on his chin. But what would Ordici, the youngest of the Adventurers be doing sneaking around the city at night? And why was he acting so curiously?
[RP]: Ordici is looking into the shadows as he is walking down a dark alley in Sendar. He feels eyes on him so he is checking his surroundings often. Thinking he is being followed he ducks into a doorway.
[RP]: Ordici thinks, Ok, I need to get to Floyd's with this letter. But I can't lead my pursuer to his doorstep. What should I do?
[RP]: (Ordici): After several minutes of thinking the situation through Ordici hears a noise from down the street of which he came. Ordici ducks deeper into the shadows to see if he can get a glimpse of who is following him.
[RP]: (Ordici): As Ordici waits he starts to tremble. I got a very bad feeling about this. What am I going to do?
[RP]: (Ordici): Ordici thinks to himself.
[RP]: Ordici ducks deeper into the shadows as a man passes. The man is no one Ordici has ever seen before. And Ordici grows curious.
[RP]: (Ordici): The man passes on his way by Ordici without spotting him. Ordici carefully starts to follow after counting to five.
[RP]: Ordici whispers to himself, 'Now you are mine. The hunted now becomes the hunter!'
[RP]: Ordici follows the unkown man to wall road. As the man turns to the right Ordici gives him some distance and then begins following ever so slowly.
[RP]: (Ordici): As the man comes closer to the west gate of town he gets stopped by the City Guard. 'What is your business stranger?' the guard asks the man.
[RP]: Ordici moves in closer to hear the answers.
[RP]: (Ordici): (Man): 'It is just that. My business.'
[RP]: Ordici moves to a shadowed doorway and snickers.
[RP]: (Ordici): (Soldier): 'There is a curfew in town sir. A lot of things can happen to a man alone in the street after dark.'
[RP]: (Ordici): The City Guard motions behind the man as 3 more City guards come from behind the lone man. The leader of the group says, 'Very bad things indeed.'
[RP]: Ordici watches as the corrupt City Guard start to beat the helpless stranger. Finally not being able to handle seeing the man take anymore abuse Ordici steps out of the shadows as he draws his rapier.
[RP]: Ordici says 'I think that is about enough of this gentlemen.'
[RP]: (Ordici): The guards freeze at the sound of his voice. They look towards the source and see a boy of six and ten standing there with a rapier. His forest clothing helps to hide his features.
[RP]: (Ordici): (Lead Guard): 'This doesn't concern you, kid. Why don't you go find your mommy and tell her to beat you for letting you out alone at night?'
[RP]: Ordici raises an eyebrow.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Let me get this straight. You want my mommy to beat me for being out after dark (sneer) Sir! Why don't you go back to your Captain and have him give you extra duties for underestimating your opponent!'
[RP]: Ordici dashes forward and hamstrings the guard closest to him as the other the other three prepare to defend themselves.
[RP]: Ordici ducks under a high swipe and then performs a rolling dive. As he stands and turns he places himself between the stranger and the Guards.
[RP]: Ordici flares his nostrils disdainfully.
[RP]: Ordici says 'I thought you guys would have learned by now. You do not want to fight when you are so hopelessly overmatched.'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Lead Guard): 'That's it. Kill this brat!'
[RP]: Ordici dives under a thrown dagger and comes up underneath a guardsman. Pulling his dagger from his boot, he stabs down hard pinning the guard foot to the ground.
[RP]: Ordici barely blocks a short swipe with his rapier and strikes the guard through the throat, instantly killing that guard.
[RP]: (Ordici): Two guards are wounded, one is dead, and the leader throws off his cape and draws his sword.
[RP]: Ordici says 'You should have thought of that sooner. Never send men to do a boy's work!'
[RP]: (Ordici): The leader screams his challenge as he rushes Ordici with an overhand swing of his bastard sword.
[RP]: Ordici dodges the strike and cuts the leader on his shoulder as he pirouettes around his attacker. Taking a defensive stance he thrusts his sword backwards and through the eye of the hamstrung guard.
[RP]: Ordici wipes his rapier on the clothes of the freshly fallen and pulls a dirk from his belt sheath.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Well, do you care to try that again? Or have you lost your nerve.'
[RP]: Ordici laughs at the city guard mercilessly.
[RP]: Ordici jumps out of the way of a shield bash and takes a sword slice to his knee. The wound isn't deep, but Ordici falters.
[RP]: (Ordici): (Leader): 'I told you boy, you should have gone home to mommy when you had a chance. Pray to whatever god you worship. For you will be meeting him shortly!'
[RP]: (Ordici): All of the sudden the guard looks down. He is surprised to see the sword point coming out of his stomach. As the leader falls off the sword, Ordici looks into the surprised face of the man that he saved.
[RP]: (Ordici): (Man): 'You are Ordici?'
[RP]: Ordici says 'Ordici, Ranger Extraordinaire at your service.'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Man): 'But you are a boy!'
[RP]: Ordici falls down laughing.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Fine then. Ordici the Youthful Ranger at your service!'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Man): 'I need your help Ordici, the Ranger. Youthful as you are, you may be my last hope!'
[RP]: Ordici says 'Then why don't we walk over to the River Bend and have an ale and talk about it?'
[RP]: (Ordici): As Ordici and the man walk towards the River Bend, the city guardsman left pinned to the ground passes out due to the pain.

[RP]: (Ordici): Ordici and the unknown man turn into the dark alley in Sendar. As they are about to enter the River Bend Ordici remembers that he still has to deliver that note to Floyd.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Sir, go ahead and take a seat at a table out of the way. I got an errand I have to finish.'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Man): Uhh... sure thing Ordici. I really need you to hurry back though.
[RP]: Ordici smiles at the man and shakes his head as he turns back down the alleyway.
[RP]: Ordici mumbles to himself, 'Floyd is going to kill me for coming to his door this late. I hope I don't wake up Emily.'
[RP]: Ordici Arrives at Floyds door and knocks. As the door is opening he here's Emily's voice 'Who is it this late father?'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Floyd): Nothing to concern yourself with Emily, go back to bed. Floyd open the door and looks full into the face of Ordici.
[RP]: Ordici smiles a tight smile at Floyd.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Sorry to disturb you this late Floyd, but I have this letter that I was bamboozled into bringing to you.'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Floyd): Well give me the letter so I can go back to sleep young man. And don't you be trying to sneak in here to say hi to Emily.
[RP]: Ordici falls down laughing.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Floyd, Emily is the last thing on my mind tonight. You see, I met this special girl. Her name is Briana and she has the prettiest auburn Hair, and silver eyes that a man can lose their soul in.'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Floyd): Briana, huh? This isn't a trick, is it? I know you have been "running into" Emily a lot down at the market Ordici.
[RP]: Ordici blushes.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Sir, I swear it was only coincidental!'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Floyd): Yeah, well I'll not tolerate you "running into" her any more. You hear me. Now get out of here before you wake up the neighbourhood.
[RP]: (Ordici): Ordici turns to head back toward the River Bend as Floyd closes the door. As he is walking back down the alley he can't seem to get Briana's face out of his mind.
[RP]: Ordici sighs.
[RP]: Ordici mumbles to himself, 'I got to get a grip on myself. I can get nothing done with her always on my mind.'
[RP]: (Ordici): As Ordici nears the River Bend he hears a sword strike another sword. He rushes through the door and what he sees amazes him.
[RP]: (Ordici): The unknown man is in the middle of a sword fight with 2 men who look like mercenaries. Ordici doesn't stop to think. Coming from behind, he draws his rapier and runs one of the assailants through.
[RP]: (Ordici): (Man): Ordici! Look out behind you!
[RP]: Ordici dives forward and comes up rolling facing in the opposite direction. Just as he is about to go spring forward he notices that his attacker is a woman.
[RP]: Ordici hesitates for a moment, and then he is dodging another dagger. Suddenly, Ordici springs forward and runs the lady through. As he is turning to help the stranger he sees the stranger finish off his opponent.
[RP]: (Ordici): (Man): We got to get out of here. There will be more where that came from!
[RP]: (Ordici): Seeing the wisdom of this, Ordici and the Man head out of the River Bend and head for the West Gate. As they exit the gate, Ordici pulls the man off the road and into the forest.

[RP]: (Ordici): As the unknown man and Ordici duck behind a couple of bushes you can hear several horses charging down the road from which they came.
[RP]: Ordici whispers 'Ok, let's keep quiet. When they pass you have a lot of explaining to do.'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Man): I understand Ordici, but you may not be able to help me.
[RP]: Ordici pushes the man's head into the dirt as he counts 4 horses with riders passing them by on the road.
[RP]: Ordici mumbles 'How did I get myself into this situation?'
[RP]: (Ordici): As the Ordici and the unknown man wait for the sound of the horses to disappear Ordici stops the man from speaking 3 times. Finally the noise of the horses disappears.
[RP]: Ordici says 'Ok, what is this all about stranger. And how am I involved?'
[RP]: Ordici sits as the man gets a leather thread and a steel needle. The man begins to sew on the leg wound as Ordici grits his teeth and bears the pain.
[RP]: (Ordici): (Man): Well... I mean... that is... Look, Ordici, I really need your help. I have to get to the Isle of Riva safely. I have come across some information that the Rivan Warder MUST know about.
[RP]: Ordici says 'The Rivan Warder! What possible information would you have for Brand?'
[RP]: Ordici gasps in shock as the man removes his hood. This is the first Ordici has seen of his face. 2 scars from a blood offering are on the man's face.
[RP]: Ordici draws his sword as he points it at the stranger's throat. The man seems not to move.
[RP]: Ordici says in a deadly quiet voice, 'What is a Murgo doing sneaking around Sendaria, and just needing to get over to Riva?'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Murgo): You don't understand you fool! This is a matter of life and death, A million deaths if we are not careful!!
[RP]: Ordici says 'And why should I believe you Murgo! Your kind bear mine no good will!'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Murgo): Ordici, I came to you because you were highly recommended by a man of mutual acquaintance. I believe his name is Floyd!
[RP]: Ordici mumbles 'What is Belar's name is Floyd thinking! This dog wouldn't last a day in Cherek let alone Riva!'
[RP]: Ordici says back to the man. 'Ok, We need to see King Fulrach. We are in his domain. We will let him decide this issue!'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Murgo): 'No!! We have no time. It is running out you little fool. I need to be in Riva by Erastide! I tell you the fate of the world is now in your hands!'
[RP]: Ordici points back to the gate of Sendar. 'What we are going to do is go visit the Palace, Murgo. There you will be very convincing as to why you need an audience. If we get turned away, you are on your own!'
[RP]: (Ordici): (Murgo): Friend, I hope you know what you are doing. If you are wrong, the world may come to an end!
[RP]: Ordici laughs evilly.
[RP]: Ordici says 'I am no friend of yours, Dog. But only the King can save your hide now. Now, march!'
[RP]: (Ordici): Ordici and the unnamed Murgo walk back into the city gate, pausing to kick the passed out corrupt city guard in the head a few times. And then they head for King Fulrach's Palace, where they are halted by the Palace Guard.

[RP]: (Ordici): Ordici and the Murgo get halted by the guard at the gate to the castle in Sendar.
[RP]: Ordici and the Murgo's halt as the Palace Guard cross their pikes in front of the Duo.
[RP]: (Ordici): (Guardsman): State your business.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan looks in the guards' eyes as he unhinders his lapel. With his insignia pin showing he says in a quiet voice "We are on the business for the Adventurers, of the highest importance. I need to take this man in to see King Fulrach."
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The guards take a look at the pin and then look at each other. After a brief chat one of the guards runs into the castle as the other asks them to please wait while they receive instructions.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan sits with his back against the wall on the hard stone cobbles and sighs as he looks at the Murgo who is once again hooded.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan whispers to the Murgo "You might as well take a seat, or get comfortable. This could take a while."
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): As the Murgo leans against the wall the guardsman jogs back down the stairs of the castle looking winded.
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Guard): "His Majesty has agreed to see you. Please follow me gentlemen."
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan gets up off the ground as he glances at the Murgo who is showing no emotion. Sighing he gets up and follows the Murgo and the guard up the stairs and into the main hallway.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan gasps in astonishment.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'I have never seen such a place like this. And here I thought the clan hall was something.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan and the Murgo are lead up to a large set of double-doors. A functionary asks their names and starts as Ordici draws his Rapier.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan hold his rapier pointed at the Murgo and tells the functionary "Just open the door sir. His Majesty will understand my precaution."
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): A couple of guards, noticing Ordici's reaction drew their own swords and point them at the hooded figure.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says "Let's not keep His Highness waiting. March dog!"
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan and the group enter the double doors as King Fulrach is looking board. As he notices the commotion at his very door he starts and in a voice that carries almost screams "What is the meaning of this! Guards. Disarm that young man!"
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says "Your Majesty! I think that when you learn of why we are here you will see why this is important. My name is Ordici, of the Adventurers. Called "The Youthful Ranger" by some. This man has asked an audience of you of the utmost importance."
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'When he removes his hood, you will see why this is no dishonour!'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): King Fulrach looks at the group and then at young Ordici. "I have heard of you Ranger Ordici. I had thought you would be older! Please continue with this meeting, I for one am now fully at your immediate disposal!"
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan leads the party to the front and centre of the area before the Dias. "Remove your hood, dog. And you had better be convincing to His Majesty or my rapier will be going through your throat before you can sneeze!
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The King looks on as the Murgo removes his hood. The Kings face shows no emotion as he hollowly says "Well, Murgo. Explain why I shouldn't just let Young Ordici here have your head!"
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The Murgo spits in contempt as he looks the King full in the face. "Your Majesty," he snickers, "I have come because the worst thing in the history of our world is about to come to pass. Zedar has been seen in the west. And rumor has it that Cthrag Yaska will soon be his."
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan gasps in astonishment.
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The King is taken aback by this news as he looks full into the face of this Murgo Messenger.
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (King Fulrach): What do you mean Zedar is going to get Cthrag Yaska?
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Murgo): Your Majesty, surely you know what Cthrag Yaska is?
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (King Fulrach): Cthrag Yaska is what you in the East refer to as the Orb of Aldur!
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Murgo): Yes your Majesty. The Orb of Aldur, Cthrag Yaska, The Burning Stone. And Zedar was seen in the West and was overheard talking about getting the stone soon. Your Majesty, we have to stop him!
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'And just why would you, A Murgo, want us to stop Zedar from taking the orb?'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Murgo): Ordici, you should know that Torak is sleeping. I, unlike many of my kind, would prefer if it stayed that way!
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan blinks slowly...
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'Ahhh... And just why would you want your old One Eye to remain in stasis?'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The Murgo's jaw drops and he gasps as he looks at Ordici. "Do you know what you are ASKING? My people would not survive if Torak were to awaken. We would be wading in deeper pools of blood than we do now. Torak's Teeth ranger why do you think I need to warn the Rivan Warder!"
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (King Fulrach): How do I know you aren't going to get to Riva and not just take it yourself Murgo?
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Murgo): How could I take that accursed stone from it's resting place? The whole world knows that it sit's in the Rivan Throne room and will Destroy anyone who touches it! But Zedar thinks that he has found a way. And Brand must be warned!
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan bows to King Fulrach.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'Your Majesty, if needs be I will go with this Murgo to Riva and keep an Eye on him, and make sure he is safe, UNTIL his message has been received!'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Murgo): Until? And what happens after that?
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan grins maliciously at the Murgo.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'Why then, you are fair game for any Alorn in all of Aloria that can take ya.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan laughs an evil laugh.
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (King Fulrach): Young ranger, I will make the decisions here. Tonight I will provide you with a room. You may eat in the servants' mess. I will summon you in the morning. Good night gentleman.
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): With that King Fulrach stands up from his throne as Ordici and the Murgo bow. As the king exits the throne room by a back door one of the Guardsman take Ordici and the Murgo to see the Chief Steward about their rooms.





[RP]: Ordici Rhellan walks down the silent halls of the Adventurers for the last time. Looking around he gets wrapped up in his memories.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'So, my career as an adventurer is over. There is no recourse for Urmela to think about. I have dishonored the Adventurers this time.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan walks down the empty halls and sits at a window seat and just looks down on the courtyard below.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'So, I had to go and do it. I had to kill my father, and disgrace my teachings. Damn that old man for all he has done to me.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan sighs.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan thinks 'I just don't know how it is I could have let it happen. I mean, there we were in the kitchen one minute, and finally I couldn't take it anymore. How, How could I have allowed what happened?'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan wipes a tear from the scar on his cheek as he loses himself in more memories.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'I just had to do it. I couldn't bear that smug look on his face when I told him I have failed the prophecy again, and that my poor Briana had died in my arms.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan shakes himself as memories of a better time siege him.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'My life was so much better back then. Now, I have nothing else to live for, but my revenge. Yeah, I broke the rules, my father lied murdered at my feet as I cleaned my bloody rapier on his clothes.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'But that bastard through me out a long time ago. And then trapped me in a prophecy that was none of mine. The prophecy that cost me everything.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan stands back up and shouts throughout the empty halls.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan shouts 'Why Belar, Why have you placed this Burden upon me!?'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): As Ordici screams down the halls he hears the guard challenging a non-adventurer in the courtyard below.
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Guard): Sorry ma'am I can not let you in there.
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Female voice): But Ordici is in there and he needs me! Please you must let me in, or send for him!
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan sighs.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'Will I never be alone with my thoughts?'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan walks down the stairs to see what the commotion is out front of the hall.
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (A voice behind him yells): Hey Ordi! Urmela is looking for you. She said to go to her office immediately.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan turns around and gasps as he sees the man who has been closer to him than a Brother.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'Maochro, There is a lady out front asking for me. I will go see Urmy, can you ask the lady to wait for me in the lounge?'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): Maochro nods as he silently grips Ordici's shoulder. Maochro whispers "Ordi, it isn't all that bad man. You don't have to do it."
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'Maochro, I killed my father in cold blood. I have lost the one thing that I love in this world. And you would have me dishonor the Adventurers by staying. I will be lucky if
Urmela doesn't have a noose waiting for me!'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): Maochro sighs as he squeezes Ordici's shoulder once more. "It won't be that bad Ord, just remember, if you don't mind, the pain doesn't matter."
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan silently nods as he hugs Maochro to him fiercely. Then squaring his shoulders he begins the long walk to Urmela's office.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan walks down the hall, past the empty rooms of Jhelya, Reidia and Czrel.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'They all left, and some would say they are better off. How can I go on, alone in the world again. I owe everything to the Adventurers.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan goes into his own room and gets into his finest Erastide clothing. As he slips on his shirt, he unpins his Adventurer's pin from his lapel. Looking at it, he remembers the time
when Mortiris pinned this on his shirt.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan remembers '(Mortiris): Ordici, lad. You have proven yourself worthy of this pin this day. You have strived to become one of us, and in your success, you honor our clan.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan grips the pin in his hand, piercing his palm but not noticing. As the tears flow freely down his face, he turns to look into his bare room, the one that a couple of months ago he had everything a young Drasnian could want.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan thinks 'Pull yourself together Ordi. You knew this is what was going to come. Face this like a man! Life will go on.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan walks back down the halls as he passes a mirror he notices his hair is kind of ragged so he brushes his hand through his hair and lays it smoothly upon his head.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan walks up to Urmela's door and sighs.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan thinks 'This is it! This is where there is no turning back. Come on Ordi, time to be strong.'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): Bringing up the image of Briana in his face, he resolves himself for what he must do. He knocks on the door and hears Urmela say enter.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan opens the door as he sees Urmela reading something behind her desk. She puts the scroll down and looks at Ordici. Before Urmela can speak, Ordici begins.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'Urmela, I have thought long and hard about this on my way back from the city of Sendar. I can no longer be in this guild. I have murdered in cold blood. I have damned the world to the dark prophecy. I am unfit for my position in the Clan.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'Just know, I am sorry that I have dragged mud on our good name. And I will not be here any longer to cause you any more such difficulties. If you ever need to get a hold of me, send for me, I will come. But I can no longer be a part of this clan.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan slams his Adventurer's pin down on the desk and walks out of the room. Slamming the door behind him he takes one final look around, and heads for the Lounge, and his unknown guest.





[RP]: Ordici Rhellan slowly turns down the dark alley in Sendar as he just left Floyd's little shack.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'Why do I always get the hard assignments?'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan sighs.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan merges with the traffic in the Common Square, with the stench of the dump coming from the south.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan shakes his head.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'I tell ya, Floyd has got to move away from this dump.'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): As Ordici turns onto Main Street from Market Square he stops dead in his tracks.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan gasps in astonishment.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan yells 'Briana!'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan shakes his head as the young lady turns around and shows that she isn't his beloved.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'How long is it going to be until I can get Briana off my mind? It has been a couple of weeks already.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan sighs as he heads east out of Sendar heading down the road to Tol Rane.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mumbles 'You think that by now I would learn not to ask Floyd if he needs anything else. And now I am seeing Briana in the streets, Belar what is wrong with me?'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan set's up his camp off the road a couple of leagues from the Checkpoint between Tol Rane and Sendar.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan starts a fire after his tents are set up. He pulls a cooking pot and some meal from his rucksack as he begins to make porridge with water from the nearby stream.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan thinks 'Why does Briana haunt me this way. I mean, after I get done with this business for Floyd I promised Oriana that I would go see the old man. But what will I do when he knows of my failure.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan looks off into the night sky as he finishes his meal in silence. All of the sudden he hears the bushes off to the left start to move.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan dives towards his rapier as a human figure comes out from the bushes. Blinded by the fire, Ordici only sees a shadow as he frees his rapier from his sheath.
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Female voice): Please sir, I mean you no harm. I.. (nervously) I just saw the fire, and haven't eaten all day.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'Come into the light where I can see you.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan lowers his rapier slightly as the female walks into the light. Ordici gasps as the lady's clothes are torn in places and there is a nasty cut on her forehead.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'What happened?'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Lady): I... I don't know. M....My husband was... we were jumped by... Oh Malkris why did you have to die?
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan gasps in astonishment.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'Lady, come sit here bye the fire and let me get you something to drink!'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan grabs his wineskin and let's the lady drink half of the contents. As she is about to down some more Ordici pulls it away from her.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'Take it easy lady. I still have to see to that cut.'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Lady): P..please don't bother yourself with me. I.. I am... not worth it
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan raises an eyebrow.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan thinks 'Not worth it? Belar, what is the woman thinking?'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says gently, 'Lady, everyone is worth kindness.'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): (Lady sobs): It's just no use. Malkris left me there to die, and got shot in the back by an arrow. It's no use, if my own husband won't protect me, why bother!
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan thinks 'Saving his sorry skin, marking this poor lady for life. At least Briana died fighting by my side. BUT I COULDN'T SAVE HER!!'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan wipes a tear from his cheek as he goes into his pack. He doesn't have a needle or sinew so he knows he has to delay his trip longer to get this poor lady back to Sendar.






[RP]: Ordici Rhellan walks through the east gate of Camaar and wonders at the novelty of what had transpired with that person at his camp.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan wonders 'At least they dissapeared before we killed eachother.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'walks to the dark alley and stops at a door hidden in the shadows. Looking down the alleyway he silently opens the door and heads to the back of a the room.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan walks to the dark alley and stops at a door hidden in the shadows. Looking down the alleyway he silently opens the door and heads to the back of a the room.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan whispers to the old man "Ok, the job is done. Now where is my pay?"
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The old man looks him up and down and sighs as he opens his small chest. Grabbing a pouch from withen he hands it to Ordici and says in a low voice "Remember, this stays between us."
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan whispers to the old man "Have I ever betrayed you?"
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan raises an eyebrow.
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The old man sighs and shakes his head. Ordici nods once and then walks out the door, back into the alleyway.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mutters 'Now, time to get back to Boktor. Reidia will skin me if I don't get back in time.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan makes his way to the west gate as he notices someone step out of the shadows.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan gasps in astonishment.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'You! '
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): the person in the shadows chuckles under their breath and nods slowly. In a soft voice the person says "It's been a long time, young man. Perhaps you would come inside. We have to talk."
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan nods as he follows the person into the bar. Looking around Ordici notices that things haven't changed much, since his exile began.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'This better be important. I have some things that need attending too.'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The person chuckles lightly, and from beneath his hood comes the same quiet voice It is always important when I ask you to stop by, friend."
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan nods.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan whispers 'So, what's do you want. Last time you almost got me killed.'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The man chuckles a little and whispers in a tight voice "there is one I need dead on the morrow. Perhaps you know of one who can help?
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'That all depends, my friend, who is it you need dead at this time?'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): the man looks around and places his face closer to Ordici's Ears. "I need Naraj, the bastid killed by noon tomorrow. The pay will be good."
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan nods his head slowly and wonders why this man, of all people would need an assasin. Sighing Ordici nods his head.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan whispers 'And what need have you for an assasin? Surely you can take care of such a minor inconvenieniance on your own.'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The man says in even a lower voice "Ahhh, but Naraj may not know it is I who send this gift. Can you find me somebody who would do the job?
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan raises an eyebrow.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan whispers 'I may have a friend who could take care of it for you... but I must seek her out in stealth. But tomorrow will be hard to time. Why noon Tomorrow?'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The man takes a deep breath and says a little too loud "That bastard will not marry Frelda, my friend. I have staked my claim in that mountain, as it were."
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan chuckles politely.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan whispers 'keep your voice down you fool. I didn't know Frelda was that much of a prize. Perhaps you could learn to let her go?'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The man slams his hands down on the table hard "Stop talking such nonsense. Frelda will be mine, or no ones!"
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan sighs.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan says 'If you like that type of camp follower, more power to ya. Tell me, what are her rates now-a-days?'
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The man goes for Ordici's throat and begins to squeeze. "The next time you talk of my Frelda like that... I will kill you. Now, get out of my sight. I will find someone else to do this work."
[RP]: (Ordici Rhellan): The man throws Ordici to the floor and then two muscular men throw him out the door. One of them Yells as they close the door "Don't come back, or it be your life."
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan chuckles as he picks himself up off the ground. Brushing himself off he shakes his head in wonder and heads for the west gate.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan walks down the path heading for the great west road. Wondering why that man of all men would want whoever this Frelda woman was.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mutters 'Well, at least I don't have to find a killer... as if he needed one. Perhaps I enraged him enough to make the kill on his own.'
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan shrugs helplessly.
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan stops at a small stream and takes a long drink,
[RP]: Ordici Rhellan mutters 'Damn me, I need to get to Boktor in a hurry. I hope Reidia hasn't left yet.'
