Phox

Much sooner than Phox would have liked, he found himself at the Arach Village gate. Reaching up to knock, he paused. This was it. He knocked.
"Who goes there?" Phox had planned on announcing himself, but then a thought struck him. "Some tired travellers with urgent information." There were some shuffling noises on the other side of the gate, then the door swung inward.
The guard was obviously not overly concerned for the villages safety, since he didn't even carry a weapon. The guard scanned the odd party with a sweeping gaze, openly curious at the various states of the members. Well, unconcious people are prone to attract attention... The guard, not sure of who had replied through the door, asked in their generally direction, "So what's this urgent information?"

Phox pointed back the way they had come. "A small fishing village in that direction was entirely slaughtered, and whatever did it is roaming these lands." The guard looked as if he wasn't sure whether or not to believe him. "This is a matter for the council, then. I'll contact them immediately, and they'll decide what actions to take on this claim." The guard turned to leave but Phox stopped him. "If you plase, my companions and I haven't had any sleep for the last few days. Could you point us to an inn or hostel of some sort?" The guard pointed down the street and said, "Yeah, down that way. Eventually you'll come to a sign. If you're staying, I'll need your names."
The moment of truth... Phox thought. "These two are Wyn and Dominick, the unconciousone is Alvar, and I'm Phox."
The guard looked at him oddly when he heard Phox's name, and then said he'd look for them at the Bed and Breakfast he had pointed out for them. With that he took off down a side street, without closing the town gate.
"Well, this will get interesting." Phox said aloud, half to his companions, half to break the silence. After everyone got through, Phox closed that gate.

[OOC: Sorry my style is a little off, I'm not very clear headed right now...]

[Mister]

Raheem looked at the male elf and said, "Galdor, the Raiders that inhabit our deserts have been growing in strength and numbers. our Imperial armies are marching even now under my Uncle's guidance. Other than the Threat of the Raiders, Galdor is flourishing and our strength grows daily." Raheem smiled up at the man and commented, "you seemed very well learned, it may please you to know that an emissary from your kingdom has arrived at our palace only months ago."

"Hey" said Umia, suddenly curious "Have you ever met anyone in Galdor named Richard Sarin?"

OOC: okay people, can we seriously stop lulling around and get things moving? I'm back so we should be posting like crazy!

[Mister]

Raheem laughed at the name, he smiled broadly and said, "yes, yes i do. a young upstart, an aspiring soldier last i saw him. his father served my father for many years, and i am his friend as well." Raheem looked Umia and said, "he will be returning here with your Emissary as his escort very soon."

OOC: i'm sorry, i'm juggling work, four RP's and i just fired form my second job lol. i'll be more active i promise!

Strey and Mellara
An emissary? thought Strey. I hadn't heard anything about that; ah well, it's not like I'm immersed in the minutiae of current Okeanus politics. "Fascinating," he said. "So, Mel, I guess this puts a damper in our plans for today, ah?"

"We could take him with us," said Mellara. "Yeah, we could carry him!"

"Brilliant! Umia, get some poles, and we'll make a stretcher, and-"

"I was being sarcastic, silly," Mellara sniffed.

"It could work..."

"At any rate, his health is more important than our little outing."

"Of course I know that, but it might still be worth a try!"

"But even if it is a good idea, we'd have to make sure Master Raheem wants to go, right?"

"Obviously. So! Did you want to come with us?" asked Strey. "We're going into the Galdorian borderlands, to visit an ancient outpost. It'll be great fun, you know?"

[Mister]

Raheem smiled up at the two, he was grateful to them for their hospitality, but he was headed the opposite way. A though struck him as he was about to decline, he needed allies in this land and he owed them for their care anyway, he might as well follow along and act as a guard of sorts.

Raheem stood slowly and took a small step forward, his leg gave a little, but his years of military discipline won out and and he stood straight and tall. He gingerly placed weight on the injured leg. he'd be limping and sore, but the wound was clean and would heal fast enough.

he looked to the others and declared confidently, "well, it seems i will not be needing a stretcher, a cane or staff perhaps, but i will go with you by my own power. if i may inquire though, is Miss. Umia coming as well?" As Raheem asked the final question he smiled at Umia, his pearl white teeth gleaming radiantly against his dark skin.

[OOC: Hey, I don't know if you guys noticed, but there is at least two new char profs in new ideas: United. I need one for my current arc. One thing that'd help it get going is some world activity. Have we heard from the bad guys again? We're forgetting how to spell their names... XP]

[QuirkyIceHeart]

OOC:Woooooooow we've slowed down T_T I expected I would have missed some things during my absence but.... o.o I really like how the story's going, btw... it's just a bit... slow Well, that means my frequent computer outages aren't hurting anything! Well, whatever pace works ^^ I just don't want people to forget about it... so... *BUMPS TOPIC *

OOC: Okay everyone, this thread has majorly slowed, and we (TG and I) are indeed the ones to blame. But, It's to epic to die! Let's revive it now! If need be, I'll PM everybody to remind them XD

"Yes" said Umia "If you don't mind, I want to travekl to the Arach tribe with you. Ordinairily, I have to ask for permission but..." she shrugged "When do we leav?"

[Mister]

Raheem smiled in satisfaction, "promptly" he replied, his voice a little eager. Raheem was ready to get on the road, and there was a loose end that he needed to tie up on the way. he stood slowly from the bed, belted on his sword and grunted, his leg still hurt dreadfully.

OOC: i'll begin to build up to some surprises later, but for now we'll disclose parts of my plan little by little.
