   "Seems our hero has already had enough to drink." *Darkness had come, the insistent rain becoming a fine mist.
   
   "I can ask Todos here to give him a room for the night, or would you rather look after him? It is, after all, your territory." *This last bit said with an edge of sarcasm in Crista's voice*

   Argent caught the sarcasm in the woman's voice. It annoyed her. "As long as he doesn't cause to much trouble, the barkeep can deal with him as he pleases. I don't own the place. But I do try to protect this village, more or less. A lot of my men have families. And the people here get shafted enough as it is. They certainly don't need any more problems." She put her near-untouched wine on the table and stood up. "And since we don't seem to be doing much except for casually and subtly insulting each other, I'm going home. I'll see you around." She paused. "You might not see me." And with that she left.

   *Said softly to Argent's retreating form* "But my dear, we will be meeting again....very soon indeed"
   
   "Todos, our young hero needs a room for the night....perhaps his sweet princess will be joining him? Take care of them both, and charge the costs to the Guild. I'll be going up to my own room now....I've much to think about" *She rose from the table, made her way to the stairway which led to the sleeping rooms, and ascended them*

   ((OOC: I'm going to try to continue the thread, because I think we've got a good thing going. If the other two come back, they can catch up to us later, hopefully.))
   
   Argent wandered out to the wooded clearing that was home for the moment. She glanced around to make sure the guards were in their places and alert. As she sat down by the fire, Tobias appeared at her elbow. "So. What's new in town?"
   She sighed. "Eh. There's a princess of some sort in the village, and she's hooked up with what I presume to be a drow adventurer. There was some trouble earlier; in the morning, I want some one to take a large patrol and some archers out to the north forest and make sure that there's not a particularly nasty man hanging about."
   "And if he is?"
   "They never find his body."
   Tobias blinked. "That bad?"
   "Yes. If he hangs around, he'll only make trouble, and quite possibly get someone killed."
   "Anything else?"
   "There's some thief or assassin or some such thing from Rolinport. Irritating woman. I asked some of the folks in town to keep an eye on her."
   He frowned. "You don't think Drake or Hep contracted someone, do you?" It wouldn't have been the first time.
   "Doubtful. She could've killed me tonight, if she'd wanted to. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, of course. But she's friends with the barkeep." Argent yawned. "And now, my friend, I'm going to bed. It's been a long day."
   "Argent?"
   "Hmmm?"
   "My wife said to say thanks for the stuff you sent her."
   "Don't worry about it, Tobias. You'd do the same for me, or for any of our people, come to think of it. I hope your son gets better soon. Good night."

   a stranger walks into the camp with a dark green hood covering his head, the guards pounce on him and restle him down. who are you shouts one of the guards. the sranger only replies a adventurer looking for some fun

6. Wanderer

   #86

   Argent hadn't quite gone to sleep yet when she heard the commotion. She charged back into the main clearing in a foul mood. "Who the hell is this?" she demanded.
   "'E says 'e was just looking for some fun, boss."
   She closed her eyes for a moment. "Just... looking for some fun..." She opened her eyes again. "Buddy, you're in the wrong forest. This is bandit territory. You're lucky it's me, or you'd probably be dead by now. Now. Just who in blazes are you?"

7. Wanderer

   #87

   '' My name is Zaptara i dought no bandit would kill me. I am a wizzard brought to my magic by talgom, arch wizzard of ascar''. Zaptara mutters something under his breath and the guards holding him fly of him.

8. Wanderer

   #88

   Argent snatched a crossbow from where it was leaning. In a split second, she had it aimed at his throat. "I wouldn't try that again, wizard. I'm the best shot in these woods, and I have no respect for Talgom. He and I clashed once. He left in worse shape than I did, and I'm not afraid to repeat the experience. Now get out of my forest. I'll grant you passage to the village, but no farther."

   '' ahhhh a person with the same mind as mine i had never respected tala and youy will be glad to know his dead''

10. Wanderer

    #90

    zaptar mutters some words under his breath and the crossbow bolts all disapear

11. Wanderer

    #91

    Argent glanced down at the crossbow, then glanced over at Tobias. He nodded silently. "So? Is that supposed to make a difference to me or impress me? Talagom learned the hard way not to meddle with me. I don't give a damn. The only thing I care about is keeping my people safe, and you seem to be a very real threat to that safety. You may think that magic gives you free reign. It may, in other places. But not here. I've got my own wizard here, and he learned from the High Magus himself. And you're starting to try my patience."

    #93

    zaptara muters some word under his breath. He grew about 4 times the size he was before. ''i dont care about you but you dont see me trying to kill you''

14. Wanderer

    #94

    Zaptara returns to normal size and says '' i can help you my magic is not at its highest peak and i whant to reach that and by helping you i could become closer to that and i can use a searching spell to find the drow and the girl

    (OOC: Sure. Go ahead.)
    
    Argent looked up at the wizard. The fellow was putting on quite a show, and it unacountably reminded her of her father, which annoyed her. "I'm not trying to kill you. I gave you the chance to leave. But there are two other bandit lords out in the south woods that would like to see my head on a plate. Therefore, I tend to take an unduly suspicious view of everyone. There have been four attempts to kill me or my men. Two were obvious, one was stealthier, and one almost made me believe that we had a common enemy. Therefore, when a strange wizard wanders into my camp and starts to make a nuisance of himself, I get a little irritable. Now, you can either stop behaving like an ass and accept the fact that I do NOT trust you and probably never will, or you can get out of my territory and go bother someone in the village, or we can keep at it like we've been going at it."

    Tobias walk to Argent's side. "you called.....shall I?" Said Tobias as a Blue flame egnighted in his hand casting an eary blue all around the spell in his hand oviusly very powerfull.

18. Wanderer

    #98

    zaptara whispers to argent ''im not really that good with magic only the illusion and disapearing and some tracking spells'' zaptara laughs and then faints

19. Wanderer

    ooc is anyone going to do something

20. Wanderer

    #100

    Argent glared at the fellow. "Oh hell. Somebody pick him up and put him over by the fire." She was angry but she wasn't heartless. "When he wakes up, let me know. I would very much like to know what the hell is going on." This was a frontier town, and one that never saw much traffic. Suddenly, it seemed like the place everyone wanted to be.

21. Wanderer

    #101

    zaptara woke up about half an hour later a guard sitting near by saw this and whent to tell his master.

22. Wanderer

    #102

    zaptara starts walking around and looks at the items around the camp waiting for anything from the leader of this ruggard band. 'hmmm that looks like something i could use later on' thought zaptara reaching down and picking up a small shield with the emblem of a dragon red with blood. 'but this isnt the emblem of rogue wonderes' he thought aswell

23. Wanderer

    #103

    Tobais watched the foolish wizard nothing more than a common theif he was. Stealing from us now thats just dumb ill get him for this. Tobais walked out of his tent and sat by the fire aware of the wizards every move.

24. Wanderer

    #104

    ooc the ''wizzard'' has a name please use it
    
    zaptara was suddenly aware of tobias watching him and discided to give him a treat a tast of his illusions. Zaptara ducked under a tent and started to sketch a dragon in the ground

25. Wanderer

    #105

    Agent had been woken up because one of her men had said that the strange wizard had come to. So she went looking for him. As she passed a tent, she saw him sitting on the ground, and it looked like he was drawing something in the dirt. Curious, she peered over his shoulder. It wasn't what he was drawing, but what was lying on the ground next to him that alarmed her. She snatched the shield up, bellowing as she did. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Still holding the shield, she all but ran across the clearing and slammed the thing into a heavy wooden crate. She slammed the lid onto it, and leaned against it, shaking.
    "All right, who in Hades took that thing out of the box?! I told you in no uncertain terms not to open that box!"
    A young man stepped forward uncertainly. "I'm sorry, Argent, I was just gonna clean some of the stuff we've got so's we can sell it..."
    "When I give an order, there's a reason! That thing is dangerous! We'll be lucky if you haven't gotten us all killed by daybreak!"

26. Wanderer

    #106

    '' what is it'' asjed zaptara looking up from his drawing.

27. Wanderer

    #107

    Tobais stood up and walked to where zaptara was and knocked him aside with a back hand. "Stop peding around with your foolish magic and answer Agent now or i shall kill you we don't need another tag along you understand!!!"

28. Wanderer

    #108

    ''big mistake i only picked it up it wasnt in no box'' said zaptara. as he said this a dragon appeared at his side even if it is a illusion no one could tell the dragon started to walk towards tobias as it did so it blow out flames and looked like it burnt the ground but no one knew if this was illusion either

29. Wanderer

    #109

    Tobais steped back a pace then smiled and drew out his sword it glemed and shimmered as Tobais screamed a spell out into the air the sword turned red and then flew into the heart of the dragon killing it.

30. Wanderer

    #110

    Argent calmed down. "Let it be, Tobias. The point is, it should never have been taken out of that box, forget lying around. As to the shield... It used to be the personal plaything of Count Rython. I stole it out of his armory. Found out the hard way that I shouldn't have." Count Rython was a notorious figure, and was widely blamed for the Orcish raids that plagued the frontier. "Don't know if it's the shield itself that does it, or if it's a warding spell. The damn thing calls to every sort of unpleasant critter you can imagine. Orcs, goblins..." The camp fire suddenly flared, and a bit of it seemed to scurry out away from it. Argent threw a knife and pinned it to the ground. "Salamanders. Other things. Now that people have been handling it, we're going to have some very unpleasant company very soon."

31. Wanderer

    #111

    Tobais sneered. "i knew this foolish wizard ment trouble." said Tobais retreving his sword from the elusion and walking back into the tent and grabing his staff which had a rather large orb on the end and was glowing from the prezence of danger. "yes somthing is coming or so the orb says best be ready madam." said Tobais geting ready to cast a fireball spell on the first un-freindly being to apear.

32. Wanderer

    (Okay, it's time to handle this out of game. Zaptara, I'm taking out your post about the dragon being real. Umbra, I'm taking out the yelling post. I only do this because it makes more sense without them.)

33. Wanderer

    '' im not foolish you painin the neck'' shouted zaptara

    ::Bell enters the tavern and breathes in the smell of warm food. Her eyes scan the room and she notes a drow, and two young females. She carefully makes her eay to the bar brushing a light brown golden lock from her face with her index finger. Her green eyes look up and she quickly smiles at each before retreating to her own thoughts, thoughts of too many yesterdays. Bell remembers Prince Tomas, the man she loved so dearly who now lay peacefully in the ground and a single tear mists her eyes. Bells mind soon races back to the present and her face grows Crimson realizing she was crying, she wipes away her tears and forces a smile quickly hopping noone noticed. ::
    "Good eve, m'ladies and m'lord how doth this eve find thee?"
    ::Her tounge thick with nobility, that she tries to hide she smiles waiting for a responce.::

    OOC: Hey, Bells, just so you know, this thread has been dead for a while. Don't be expecting much response.

36. Wanderer

    (OOC: Yeah. I'll play with you, but it'll take some contriving to get us in the same area. You might have better luck starting a new thread or joining another.)

    A small cloaked figure feels the call of the shield and starts toward the source. He must go. The shield beckons. He resists and stops in the town until the call overcomes his will-power. He checks into the nearest hotel. Inside he sees a distraught woman. He decides to sit in a dark corner and wait, either for the call or to see what the woman would do. Whichever came first.

38. Wanderer

    #118

    (OOC: Hiyas. See above post about thread being dead. That being said, what the hell.)
    Argent gathered up her men, and they started moving away from the campsite. "I want us totally and completely out of this area and in the south woods before dawn." She glanced back, and saw a couple of guys trying to bring the box with the shield in it along with their other stuff. "NO, boys! Leave that damn thing. It's too dangerous. If it's still here later, I'll get rid of it myself."

39. Wanderer

    #119

    Seeing that the woman doesn't seem to do anything special, the cloaked figure finally gives in to the impulse and follows the call. Going into the forest he finds a trail of the creatures and joins the crowd to the source of the call. He hides in some shrubs when he sees people dragging the box with the source of the now dampened call.

40. Wanderer

    #120

    (OOC: They've stopped dragging the box, btw.)
    
    "Hurry up!" Argent could feel ... things out in the woods, gathering. She was fully prepared to let them have the shield if they wanted it. All she cared about was getting her men out of there safely.
