The road to Tristram

[NPC]

<The road is a long one. Obsticles include high mountains and gassous swamps. It begins in the flat grasslands outside the academy.>

<This thread is read for RP. Students currently at the academy are expected to embark on this journy. Tigiat this includes you. Some one will have to explain the quest on the road. SO LETS RP!!!>

[Kashal Mirodin]

Kashal stepped through the acadmey gates onto the road. The mage had given them directions to the town. It would be a difficult journy, but a fruitful one he was sure. He almost began down the road alone before he decided it might be wise to wait for the others.

Kashal was patient though. They would reach Tristram whenever Scion wished it. And that was enough for him. He could wait all day if he had to.

[Khynes Pakti]

Khynes padded out of the gates, stopping just short of Kashal. He was anxious to be off, but they were travelling as a group, along with a newcoming orc hunter. He waited, shifting from one foot to the other impatiently.

[Tigiat Lymewoire]

Tigiat strolled out of the gates nonchalantly. He had unpacked and dressed into attire more suitable for a battle. He wore a padded leather jerkin and leggings, with a chain mail vest over it. His broadsword was strapped against his lower back, just above his buttocks, his bow against his upper back. The pocket crossbow and hunting knife were strapped to either side of his hip.

He stopped next to the priest, and said politely, "I hope you know where Tristram is, because I do not."

[Jole Quinn]

((NPC told me to just start here so thats what I'm doing))

Jole saw three people standing outside the gates as he approached. One horrid demonic being, a human, and a half-orc. Wonderful bunch of people to travel with. Demonic companions and blundering half-orcs are bound to make their tasks easy.

The demon would make it impossable for them to blend into crowds and a half-orc would make civil conversation next to impossable! And if his companions were any indicator, the human was probably just as useless. He sighed inwardly. He hoped they would have talents to counter their faults. The last thing Jole wanted was to have to make up for everyone elses weaknesses.

"Good morning! This is the kenset Academy is it not?" he said in greeting, "I am the mage, Jole Quinn."

[Lephilia Renout]

Lephy happily skipped out of the gates and towards the other four men. She tucked her fans inside of her pockets and skidded to a halt at the others. She saw 2 new students... or at least... she /thought/ they were students.
She turned towards them and grinned.
"Hello sirs! I'm Lephilia Renout! But you can call me Lephy if you wish, sir!" she greeted happily.

[Jole Quinn]

Jole turned to look at the newcomer. She had short brunette hair and sparkling eyes. She wasn't the most beutiful girl Jole had ever seen, however, she was far from the worst looking one.

"I am Jole Quinn." He said bowing to her politly. "I take it from your use of the word 'student' that this is indeed the Kenset academy?"

[NPC]

<Alright! Time to start this thang! Given Kalia's posting issues it will simply be assumed she is there and she will make posts whenever she is able.>

<You have a single horse that is carrying provisions for you journey. It is supposed to take roughly 7days to reach your goal. You have just enough provisions to last those 7 days. The road ahead goes through the valley winding around ponds and what not. Trees are scarce. Several miles ahead the trail heads into mountains.>

<I'll post when epic events occur, daybreak, noon, nightfall, zombie invasions, terrain changes, forks in the road, nuclear winter strikes, and the likes.>

[Devaki Asura]

ooc: Sorry internet issues

With quick strides she was outside the gates, she was clad in her traveling attire. Her chest was covered by a hard leather which was fit to each muscle, and only fit her. The leather looked soft to the touch, but it would take a good battering from an Orc’s ax before it would crack. The top was a lighter color, and a single strap seemingly held the top in place, a leaf pendant as the clasp. A thick band of her clans hardened leather looped around her breast, a complex iron clasp secured the strap around her. Another followed further down, another right after. The last seemed to be attached to her leather skirt. It was short, yet she wore leather shorts beneath it.

The shirt had a slight slit in it and it was also made of the same illusionary leather. Covering her legs, and up to her upper thighs clung tight leather legging like boots, crimson dyed leather was weaved into the leather which was tied at the side of her leg at the top of the boot. Around her left arm was a gauntlet like glove. A crimson crescent moon imprinted on the leather. The rest of it was made of, again the same leather, yet this time dyed black, the same crimson hued leather securing it to her arm. Her right was a softer leather glove that claimed most of her arm. Her feet were partially covered but the tips of her feet were allowed freedom from the cloth where clawed fox like toes protruded out. Two golden bangles enclosed around her right wrist. Her hair was left down her long brown locks flowing down past her lower back; red-orange ears peeking out from the top of her head. Behind her flowed her giant plume of a tail.

Sighing she walked till she had taken the space beside the small familiar girl. "Lephy, you forgetting someone?" she murred, her blue-violet eyes glimmering as she looked at her. It was hard for her to admit it, but she had grown fond of the younger female. Pulling another small pouch of cookie from her person she presented them to the girl. "I brought plenty, so eat up." she stated in a soft voice, before she let her eyes glance at the others that had appeared so far. Kashal, Khynes, and two others she did not recognize. Again Kalia was absent.

Looking at the other two, it was easy to tell what the one was, human, but the other was a mix of some sort.. Orc and something else. She'd figure it out later, she was feeling a bit lazy today. The human was apparently Jole, he seemed to be haughty like the Orc mix she'd met briefly before. "Yes this is the Academy, but your outside it's gates at the moment. I am Devaki, my scaly companion is Khynes, Lephy has already introduced herself, and that is Kashal." She stated, though her voice wasn't as kind as it had been when she had spoken to Lephy. Her eyes then darted to the Orc mix. "I believe we've met before, but I did not catch your name." she stated, though it was clear to anyone with ears that her statement held a question as well.

Slowly she turned to look over the supplies they had been given, her mind turning over numbers and estimates. Turning once more to the group, she closed her eyes and thought of how to place her words. "There is enough food for exactly seven days.. Not one more.. If you eat to much, you eat someone else’s food, and will prove to be a glutton. If at all possible on our trip, Hunt. Hunt for your own food, or if you feel generous, for your team. Remember, monitor your food intake.. be careful. It's a long trip.. that I am sure." she stated as she slowly opened her eyes, immediately looking at Lephy.. She'd give her share if needed, but only to her.

"How will guide the horses, I cannot because I will be moving around to much." she stated, they needed this settled before they set off or things would get hectic.

[Keila Datlow]

Keila smirked to herself after hearing Devaki's talk, even from her currently catching up status behind the rest of the group. I think we have a know it all on our hands she thought to herself. She than ran to catch up with the others and only then she noticed the new Human. Deadweight? she thought, but then remembered not to judge before she knew his capablities. She spoke to the entire group "Once again, I apologize for tardiness" She then turned to the human, "I am Keila Datlow, and I am pleased to make your acquaintance"

[Tigiat Lymewoire]

Tigiat glanced at the three women, hearing what they said, but paying little attention to what anyone said. He was thinking to himself, about his companions, their usefullness, what their place would be in a war band. He grinned widely, putting on a face of pleasure and amicability.

"My name is Tigiat Lymewoire, and I am pleased to meet you all." He said with a polite bow. A squirrel darted out of his shirt and onto his head, chittering angrily. "And this is Gurr, he is my companion wherever I go." Hearing the furred girl's comment he nodded to her. "I am sorry, but it cannot be me, see how they refuse my presence?" He gestured towards a horse, and true enough, it shied away from him. "So you understand why I cannot."

[Khynes Pakti]

Khynes nodded at the half-orc and the new human. "I am Khynes Pakti, a Skraeling from the northern cavesss." He watched curiously as the squirrel, Gurr, chittered at the orc, Tigiat. "Doesss he speak to you?" He asked.

He cocked an ear at Devaki, and watched Tigiats display. Curious, he also reached his clawed hand towards the horse and frowned as it jumped away, whinnying. "It seemsss that I also cannot guide the horsesss.

[Lephilia Renout]

Lephy had an idea.
"Ooh! Sirs and Ma'ams, could I possibly lead the horse? I love animals! I dont know of what other things i could be useful for, but I could do that if you wish, sirs and ma'ams!" she suggested.
She graciously accepted the cookies from Devaki.
"Thankyou so much, Devaki ma'am! I appreciate your kindness!"

[NPC]

<Like I said above, I will mainly only be posting when epic events occur. Or just to let you know I'm still here. So.... You people just keep talking.>

[Jole Quinn]

Jole looked at the late arrivals, "Well there are a few of us aren't there." He turned to Keila, Lady Keila," he said bowing "I am Jole Quinn. It is rare that I find myself in the company of so many beuties like yourselves." The last part of his comment was directed at every female in the party.

"Lady Lephilia, I would be honored if you would allow me to assist you with the horses."
