of black flames: (( Log on. ))
of black flames: (( Welcome to the first TSS Quest. Tonight is going to be a
simple recon mission since it is a small group. If your rank dice is below
d34, you will be using that on tonight's Quest, and all future ones just to
keep things fair and
of black flames: balanced. Standard HP is half your dice, so keep that in
mind. Please state your clan and rank information for the log. ))
poetic bIood: ( I don't know Maks' rank. I've been looking for it. )
of black flames: (( The roster should have it. ))
poetic bIood: (I don't see the roster. )
of black flames: (( What's his profession? ))
OnlineHost: battIe fever has entered the room.
x Silver Heat x: [ If you're a Mage, it's Neophyte. ]
poetic bIood: (Well Magi, but it's not going to be there because he just
said as of yesterday meeting the Clan leader. )
poetic bIood: Mage*
x Silver Heat x: High Clan Leader, Akito Takano of the Tengu Clan.
x Silver Heat x: [ I got the recording, it works out. I haven't had the
chance to update the roster yet. ]
of black flames: (( Kei Takashiro, Clan Leader of the Inari Kitsune. ))
poetic bIood: Maksim Markovic, Neophyte of the Okami Clan
of black flames: A missive has been delivered to all of the Clans residing
within Makai with a request to send forth some of their members to perform a
recon on a village that was rumored to have been taken over by the imps. All
have been asked to
of black flames: gather at the Firepit as the starting point of tonight's
Quest.
poetic bIood: -Maks had made it to the firepit. Ready to get this all
started. He had his gear with him, daggers swords and his own magic were
ready. He was covering all the bases.-
of black flames: Kei was a frequent visitor of the firepit, and seeing as he
had distributed the missive amongst the other clans it was no surprise that
he was already there. He stood calmly next to the pit, arms folded across his
chest as he waited
of black flames: to see who would show for tonight's venture. To be
perfectly honest, he wasn't expecting much but he wanted to gather some info
first before sending people to their deaths.
x Silver Heat x: Akito was in full tengu form as his shadowy form alighted a
few paces away from the pit. His form had seemed to meld with Akihito's as
black wings folded behind him, long hair caught in a loose ponytail down his
back except for a
x Silver Heat x: few loose strands that threatened to hide the three pronged
black scar and crimson orbs. The tengu wore basic black battle gear, katana
at his hip. Booted footfalls barely audible as he stepped closer to the fire
pit to meet with th
x Silver Heat x: He said nothing, but his crimson gaze was trained on the
one who'd called the summons, Kei.
x Silver Heat x: [d]
x Silver Heat x: [ brb a sec ]
OnlineHost: battIe fever has left the room.
of black flames: A disgruntled sound came from the fox lord as only two
arrived on the scene, and one happened to be the tengu himself. How pitiful
this gathering was. Silver hues turned to Maksim briefly, a look of amusement
inching across his
of black flames: features as he identified the scent and the face of the
man. "You are either extremely brave, stupid, or expendable. I would bet my
money on expendable. There is still time for you to back out now if you wish.
We won't laugh. Hard."
poetic bIood: -He kept his distance away from Kei and for reasons only his
own. His eyes would give off that golden reflection of the wolf. He would
then glare at Kei.- And I won't laugh my ass off if you get owned by those
imps. -He flashed a
poetic bIood: devious grin to the fox clan leader.-
x Silver Heat x: [ Back ]
of black flames: "Those imps have a better chance of leaving a scratch on me
than you do, and that's only if they all rush me at once." He smirked before
shifting his attention to Akito now. The tengu form earned what may have
passed for an
of black flames: approving glance. "I take it it's just us."
x Silver Heat x: Akito stared between the two as they bantered between each
other. "Come now, surely you didn't summon us just to get to know us better."
Arms were folded over his chest with a less than pleased expression on his
face. Those two
x Silver Heat x: might just kill each other before the imps do. Still, a
curt nod was given in answer toward Kei. "It would appear the others do not
know the seriousness of the situation."
of black flames: "They will find out soon enough. Hopefully the hard way."
He gave a slow roll of his shoulders before starting forward. After a few
steps, he glanced back over at the other two. "Try and keep up, yeah?" The
shift to his fox form was
of black flames: instantaneous, and achieved solely for the purpose of
faster travel. Then he put on a burst of speed and disappered into the woods.
Along the way he'd explain that within the Onikushi Woodland, there is a
guard outpost. It was
of black flames: situated on the outskirts of the village. Close enough to
keep an eye out on the surrounding borders and report promptly back to the
village if needed. The outpost was their destination tonight.
poetic bIood: -He would then start running, then shifting into his wolven
form and catching up to Kei. He was no more than a blur of white fur. He
would then stop where Kei had stopped to. Those eyes would stare the fox
down.-
x Silver Heat x: A flourish of his wings spread out as he made sure to keep
up with the fox, beating the wind to hover over the land as he flew not far
behind Kei. In hushed tenor he listened and asked. "Raid?" He wondered just
how close they might
x Silver Heat x: get. To say he was anxious to eliminate the problem was an
understatement.
of black flames: He ignored the stare from Maksim, completely unfazed by the
wolf's attempt to intimidate, unnerve, or whatever the hell it was that he
was trying to do. Hearing Akito's question he gave a quick nod. "We're going
to burn the outpost
OnlineHost: x Silver Heat x has left the room.
of black flames: down, kill everyone there except for the guard captain who
we will bring back with us to interrogate, and look for any other information
that might give us a better idea as to their numbers, possible
reinforcements, etc."
poetic bIood: Leave the fire to me.. -He would finally speak after a moments
silence.-
OnlineHost: x Silver Heat x has entered the room.
OnlineHost: x Silver Heat x has left the room.
OnlineHost: x Silver Heat x has entered the room.
x Silver Heat x: [ Sorry about that, can anyone email me what I missed? ]
of black flames: (( Sent. ))
x Silver Heat x: Akito glanced between them and nodded. "I can handle some
killing. Do you know who the captain is?" He'd wondered if Kei already had
insider info.
of black flames: "Slow down. We're approaching the outpost now. Stealth
mode." He slowed to a prowl, staring at Maksim for a moment when he offered
to take care of the fire. Eventually, a silent nod was afforded to the wolf
before turning to respond
of black flames: to Akito. "Yes. Apparently, these imps are so dumb that the
captains have a red bandana tied around their arms so they can distinguish
each other."
x Silver Heat x: "At least they know they're ugly." He shrugged, as wings
buffeted the air to slow the speed of their travel significantly until he was
floating almost.
x Silver Heat x: [ test ]
of black flames: "You think they do? I'm not convinced. They're just stupid
creatures." He came to a stop near one of the bushes. "So how do you guys
want to do this? Sneak in, or just charge in?"
x Silver Heat x: Akito smirked slightly and shrugged. "Maybe ask them as
you're killing them?" He stopped and pondered Maks a moment. "What if the
fire is a diversion and we rush in while they're in a panic?"
of black flames: "You're going to trust him to create a diversion?" Kei
sounded rather skeptical, and for good reason. Though it didn't seem like a
bad plan.
x Silver Heat x: Kei was given a look. "I'm sure he can set something on
fire. Fire's a good panic inducer." He glanced at Maks to see if he'd be
willing to set the outpost on fire just enough to cover them getting in
unseen for the ambush.
x Silver Heat x: [ Anyone else having trouble with ims and bl or is it just
me? ]
of black flames: (( Just you. I've been trying to IM you. ))
x Silver Heat x: [ bleh, let me restart aol ]
OnlineHost: x Silver Heat x has left the room.
OnlineHost: x Silver Heat x has entered the room.
x Silver Heat x: [ if anyone rped after I left I need it XD ]
poetic bIood: -He nodded.- He would then shift back to his normal self. He
would then smirk at Kei.- You underestimate me. But that's okay, everyone
does. They get burned in the literal sense. -His hands would glow that bright
orange. -
poetic bIood: afterwards*
x Silver Heat x: "Just make sure it's the outpost that gets burned, and
maybe a few imps." He said, glancing between the outpost and the two while
waiting for the on go signal. Hand was already grasping his sword hilt.
poetic bIood: Might want to stand back for this.. -He smiled as he would
then go full inferno and would then go ahead and spark a fire that would
catch rather quickly. He was having too much fun already, having him living a
pyromaniacs dream.-
alabaster plume: (( "Might want to stand back for this" <- Adam said to Eve
their first time. -hides- )
poetic bIood: (Lol. )
x Silver Heat x: [ XD ]
poetic bIood: (It was that or Fire in the hole! But that would be bad. Lol.
)
of black flames: (( LOL. ))
x Silver Heat x: As Maks went to work setting the fire, Akito glanced toward
Kei a moment before he was off unsheathing his katana as he flew into the
fray of imps who'd panicked just as he'd predicted and as they'd begun to
swarm him a taloned hand
x Silver Heat x: swept out in a slicing backhand.[d]
of black flames: He didn't bother shifting back into his humanoid form.
Instead, he pushed off his hind legs and joined the fray. He was dodging the
imps swiftly, leading them on a chase before circling back around to tackle
and rip out their
of black flames: throats, one by one. All the commotion caught the attention
of the guard captain and his detail and they ventured outside to meet the
intruders.
poetic bIood: -He would then let the inferno only to shift into a different
form. Wings would then be unleashed, talons as well. He would then start to
ravage and attack some of the imps. -
of black flames: One of the guards lifted his bow and took a shot at Akito.

at him grazed his shoulder ripping a small tear in his shirt sleeve, leaving
a red line there but it was enough to get his attention. Casting the imp
corpse aside he'd just

of black flames: - Captain
of black flames: The Captain of the guards was pretty furious at everything
that was happening around them. His outpost was going to burn to the ground
at this rate. Raising his club he moved towards the fox and clubbed him over
the head.

of black flames: A low, feral growl escaped him as he was clubbed over the

before he could pull away.

him. Being a ranged fighter, he ran in the opposite direction then leveled
his crossbow and shot at Akito again.

of black flames: Miss.
of black flames: - Akito
x Silver Heat x: And he missed because Akito didn't let him get far enough
range before he was on top of him again, swooping in with crimson orbs
glowing and a grin on his face as he grabbed the arrow out of the crossbow
and slashed across guard 1's

slash with his talons.

of black flames: - Captain
of black flames: The first guard was hanging on by a thread.
of black flames: The Captain escaped the fireball for the most part. It was
just a little singe but the bite wound caused by the fox was deep and left
him bleeding. He kicked the fox and swung the club at his face.

of black flames: The fireball from Maksim was a surprise, but then he was
kicked and smashed in the face which caused him to release another growl. He

bleeding profusely at this point. With what was probably his last breath he
fired another arrow at the tengu.

x Silver Heat x: Akito was too busy toying with the imp guard that he barely
noticed another slice had grazed his shoulder. But playtime was over, and he
reached out and seized Guard 1 with one hand and then slammed his talons into
his gut with the

process. He grabbed the fox by the head and bit him.

hind leg before swiping his claws across some very important jewels.

of black flames: - Akito
x Silver Heat x: He'd heard the guard approach, they weren't the most sneaky
of creatures and when that dagger came down he whirled to slap the weapon out
of the imp guard's hand, resulting in his blood mingling with guard 1's as it
dripped. With
x Silver Heat x: his free hand he slammed the guard in the chest with a red
globe of light that detonated upon impact.

of black flames: He kicked the fox in the face before he could reach those

man in the face.

of black flames: The explosion knocked the guard back onto his ass and it
took him a while to collect himself. When he finally did, he was preparing to
take off. You have 2 rounds to stop him before he runs off.
of black flames: - Maksim
poetic bIood: Ow.. My turn.. -He would then grabbed that club and bashed it
at the captains head. Revenge was sweet.-

pushed forward again swooping down once in range and poked sharp talons at
the guard's eyes to put

orange and would then send an inferno at the captain. Fried imp anyone? -

and rolls until it is put out. Then he falls unconscious since he needed to
be captured alive!

in the cowardly guards direction. Another red globe was produced about the
size of a baseball shot out at the imp and detonated upon impact much like
the first.

of black flames: They have time to make a quick search around the outpost
before all the evidence and information that they might find useful goes up
in flames along with the rest of the outpost.
x Silver Heat x: Akito nearly cackled watching the guard explode into
pieces, turning to see if there were anymore blood to be spilled. The tengu's
crimson orbs searched for more imps to kill as he roved the flaming outpost
looking for anything use-
x Silver Heat x: ful or bloody.
of black flames: (( 1d20 search roll ))
OnlineHost: x Silver Heat x rolled 1 20-sided die: 8
poetic bIood: -He would look around for any signs of anything useful.-

OnlineHost: poetic bIood rolled 1 20-sided die: 3
of black flames: The fox poked around to see if he could find anything of
interest, though he really didn't care whether or not they find anything at
this point.
OnlineHost: of black flames rolled 1 20-sided die: 4
of black flames: Maksim and Kei find nothing of interest. Some rations for
the troops, but nothing else. Akito manages to salvage half of a missive from
the Imp Chief to the Captain. It would probably help to interrogate the
Captain once they
of black flames: return. The outpost continues to burn and it is suggested
that the trio depart the scene before scouts from the main village are sent
to investigate. Someone needs to carry the unconscious captain.
x Silver Heat x: Kei could drag him by his teeth, or on his back in fox form
or Akito could hoist him back for interrogation.
of black flames: There was no way in hell. Akito could do the honors.
x Silver Heat x: Darn so much for that ammunition. Very well, Akito got a
hold of himself and grabbed the imp by the scruff of his neck and flew him to
Ravenstone Keep's dungeons for later interrogation.
poetic bIood: -He would then return back to normal. He would then look to
the fire then he would shift back to his wolven form and looked to Kei before
running off.-
of black flames: With the Captain in their custody they make a hasty retreat
and the imps are left to wonder just what in the hell happened to their
outpost. To be continued.
of black flames: (( Log off. ))

poetic bIood: Maksim Markovic, Neophyte of the Okami Clan
of black flames: A missive has been delivered to all of the Clans residing
within Makai with a request to send forth some of their members to perform a
recon on a village that was rumored to have been taken over by the imps. All
have been asked to
of black flames: gather at the Firepit as the starting point of tonight's
Quest.
poetic bIood: -Maks had made it to the firepit. Ready to get this all
started. He had his gear with him, daggers swords and his own magic were
ready. He was covering all the bases.-
of black flames: Kei was a frequent visitor of the firepit, and seeing as he
had distributed the missive amongst the other clans it was no surprise that
he was already there. He stood calmly next to the pit, arms folded across his
chest as he waited
of black flames: to see who would show for tonight's venture. To be
perfectly honest, he wasn't expecting much but he wanted to gather some info
first before sending people to their deaths.
x Silver Heat x: Akito was in full tengu form as his shadowy form alighted a
few paces away from the pit. His form had seemed to meld with Akihito's as
black wings folded behind him, long hair caught in a loose ponytail down his
back except for a
x Silver Heat x: few loose strands that threatened to hide the three pronged
black scar and crimson orbs. The tengu wore basic black battle gear, katana
at his hip. Booted footfalls barely audible as he stepped closer to the fire
pit to meet with th

OnlineHost: battIe fever has left the room.
of black flames: A disgruntled sound came from the fox lord as only two
arrived on the scene, and one happened to be the tengu himself. How pitiful
this gathering was. Silver hues turned to Maksim briefly, a look of amusement
inching across his
of black flames: features as he identified the scent and the face of the
man. "You are either extremely brave, stupid, or expendable. I would bet my
money on expendable. There is still time for you to back out now if you wish.
We won't laugh. Hard."
poetic bIood: -He kept his distance away from Kei and for reasons only his
own. His eyes would give off that golden reflection of the wolf. He would
then glare at Kei.- And I won't laugh my ass off if you get owned by those
imps. -He flashed a
poetic bIood: devious grin to the fox clan leader.-
x Silver Heat x: [ Back ]
of black flames: "Those imps have a better chance of leaving a scratch on me
than you do, and that's only if they all rush me at once." He smirked before
shifting his attention to Akito now. The tengu form earned what may have
passed for an
of black flames: approving glance. "I take it it's just us."
x Silver Heat x: Akito stared between the two as they bantered between each
other. "Come now, surely you didn't summon us just to get to know us better."
Arms were folded over his chest with a less than pleased expression on his
face. Those two
x Silver Heat x: might just kill each other before the imps do. Still, a
curt nod was given in answer toward Kei. "It would appear the others do not
know the seriousness of the situation."
of black flames: "They will find out soon enough. Hopefully the hard way."
He gave a slow roll of his shoulders before starting forward. After a few
steps, he glanced back over at the other two. "Try and keep up, yeah?" The
shift to his fox form was
of black flames: instantaneous, and achieved solely for the purpose of
faster travel. Then he put on a burst of speed and disappered into the woods.
Along the way he'd explain that within the Onikushi Woodland, there is a
guard outpost. It was
of black flames: situated on the outskirts of the village. Close enough to
keep an eye out on the surrounding borders and report promptly back to the
village if needed. The outpost was their destination tonight.
poetic bIood: -He would then start running, then shifting into his wolven
form and catching up to Kei. He was no more than a blur of white fur. He
would then stop where Kei had stopped to. Those eyes would stare the fox
down.-
x Silver Heat x: A flourish of his wings spread out as he made sure to keep
up with the fox, beating the wind to hover over the land as he flew not far
behind Kei. In hushed tenor he listened and asked. "Raid?" He wondered just
how close they might
x Silver Heat x: get. To say he was anxious to eliminate the problem was an
understatement.
of black flames: He ignored the stare from Maksim, completely unfazed by the
wolf's attempt to intimidate, unnerve, or whatever the hell it was that he
was trying to do. Hearing Akito's question he gave a quick nod. "We're going
to burn the outpost
OnlineHost: x Silver Heat x has left the room.
of black flames: down, kill everyone there except for the guard captain who
we will bring back with us to interrogate, and look for any other information
that might give us a better idea as to their numbers, possible
reinforcements, etc."
poetic bIood: Leave the fire to me.. -He would finally speak after a moments
silence.-

x Silver Heat x: [ Sorry about that, can anyone email me what I missed? ]
of black flames: (( Sent. ))
x Silver Heat x: Akito glanced between them and nodded. "I can handle some
killing. Do you know who the captain is?" He'd wondered if Kei already had
insider info.
of black flames: "Slow down. We're approaching the outpost now. Stealth
mode." He slowed to a prowl, staring at Maksim for a moment when he offered
to take care of the fire. Eventually, a silent nod was afforded to the wolf
before turning to respond
of black flames: to Akito. "Yes. Apparently, these imps are so dumb that the
captains have a red bandana tied around their arms so they can distinguish
each other."
x Silver Heat x: "At least they know they're ugly." He shrugged, as wings
buffeted the air to slow the speed of their travel significantly until he was
floating almost.
x Silver Heat x: [ test ]
of black flames: "You think they do? I'm not convinced. They're just stupid
creatures." He came to a stop near one of the bushes. "So how do you guys
want to do this? Sneak in, or just charge in?"
x Silver Heat x: Akito smirked slightly and shrugged. "Maybe ask them as
you're killing them?" He stopped and pondered Maks a moment. "What if the
fire is a diversion and we rush in while they're in a panic?"
of black flames: "You're going to trust him to create a diversion?" Kei
sounded rather skeptical, and for good reason. Though it didn't seem like a
bad plan.
x Silver Heat x: Kei was given a look. "I'm sure he can set something on
fire. Fire's a good panic inducer." He glanced at Maks to see if he'd be
willing to set the outpost on fire just enough to cover them getting in
unseen for the ambush.
x Silver Heat x: [ Anyone else having trouble with ims and bl or is it just
me? ]
of black flames: (( Just you. I've been trying to IM you. ))

would then smirk at Kei.- You underestimate me. But that's okay, everyone
does. They get burned in the literal sense. -His hands would glow that bright
orange. -
poetic bIood: afterwards*
x Silver Heat x: "Just make sure it's the outpost that gets burned, and
maybe a few imps." He said, glancing between the outpost and the two while
waiting for the on go signal. Hand was already grasping his sword hilt.
poetic bIood: Might want to stand back for this.. -He smiled as he would
then go full inferno and would then go ahead and spark a fire that would
catch rather quickly. He was having too much fun already, having him living a
pyromaniacs dream.-

of black flames: (( LOL. ))
x Silver Heat x: As Maks went to work setting the fire, Akito glanced toward
Kei a moment before he was off unsheathing his katana as he flew into the
fray of imps who'd panicked just as he'd predicted and as they'd begun to
swarm him a taloned hand
x Silver Heat x: swept out in a slicing backhand.[d]
of black flames: He didn't bother shifting back into his humanoid form.
Instead, he pushed off his hind legs and joined the fray. He was dodging the
imps swiftly, leading them on a chase before circling back around to tackle
and rip out their
of black flames: throats, one by one. All the commotion caught the attention
of the guard captain and his detail and they ventured outside to meet the
intruders.
poetic bIood: -He would then let the inferno only to shift into a different
form. Wings would then be unleashed, talons as well. He would then start to
ravage and attack some of the imps. -
of black flames: One of the guards lifted his bow and took a shot at Akito.

Captain once they

that the trio depart the scene before scouts from the main village are sent
to investigate. Someone needs to carry the unconscious captain.

or Akito could hoist him back for interrogation.

hold of himself and grabbed the imp by the scruff of his neck and flew him to
Ravenstone Keep's dungeons for later interrogation.

and the imps are left to wonder just what in the hell happened to their
outpost. To be continued.
