Bio

You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.
Thanks!

A Chilling Message has been created, the prelude to the upcoming Frigmount quest, featuring one Rilana Aurorime'.

More will be coming shortly!
Starting Date and Time: 5th day of Ceruleo, 300 DM

Starting Location: Western Gatehouse of Ebonfort (Capital)

CS URLs: Rilana Aurorime' and GM

Sergeant Nidic sighed as he watched the line of people and carts and beasts of burden move through the massive gatehouse. All were checked for citizenship, all the merchants were checked to ensure they'd paid their taxes on their goods, and if they hadn't, were taxed on the spot. It wasn't particularly exciting work, but at least it was in the capital. Nidic was new to his position, having recently been promoted after the latest debacle that could only be described as a drunken orc brawl he'd won. He still occasionally rubbed his forehead where he was sure he had a dent from headbutting a particularly large male.

Normally as Sergeant on duty at the gatehouse, his main job was managing the lesser ranked Knights. The only time the humdrum was interrupted was when there was a need for a duel to occur. It was a rare occurrence, for only the most angry, stupid, or confident dared commit a crime in the capital. And Nidic always takes his subordinates chances at duels. It was one of the best parts of holding a senior position.

However, since his rotation brought him to the gatehouse at the beginning of the month, there had been a standing order, straight from Lord Knight Svarak. They were to keep their eyes open for a very specific Moon Fey woman. The order was to stop her, confirm that she was in fact Rilana Aurorime', then initiate the second part of the orders. The second part made him smile, it was only something that Lord Svarak would order someone to do.

"Sergeant Nidic, the scouts believe they see the Moon Fey woman approaching the city, she should be here in fifteen slips."

Nidic nodded at the Knight, "You know what to do." The Lieutenant nodded and began issuing orders. The flow of traffic was redirected, so that the people flowed alone the edges of the road. Nidic walked forward, through the parting waves of travelers, until he was just outside the gatehouse. He stood there, tall, in his odd armor. It looked large on him, and had some... odd placings at the joints. His sword and shield were large and heavy, and the grin upon his face was smug.

He'd wait until he saw her approaching, and he'd lock his intense gaze on her, indicating that he was the one waiting for her. Upon arrival, "Welcome, Rilana Aurorime', I presume? I have orders from Lord Svarak to escort you to his office on your arrival, assuming you have the signed permission he gave." He waited for her to produce the document, or not. If she did, "Good, that's settled. However, I have one more order. Prepare yourself, Svarak would like me to do a full combat sparring with you."

With that, he drew his Ebonsteel longsword. With a devilish grin, he shifted, his form growing slightly, so that it filled his armor more properly. Sergeant Nidic is a were creature, and his face changed to a more feline form, possibly a lynx. He let loose a feral, challenging scream, his feline eyes staring down the woman. And with that, he charged her, his sword already drawn back over his shoulder, before being swept down toward her with a backhanded slash, aiming for her left shoulder.
The moment the door was locked behind Vera, the front door to their home was kicked open, the hinges shattering, splintering wood and dust filling the air. Kazdar was lucky enough to be standing off to the side, coughing and sheltering his eyes. He figured they were just going to arrest or admonish him, so he really didn't expect the edge of the sword to slice through his torso, spraying blood all over the room. Hitting the ground with a squishy thump, his vision started fading fast, not even feeling the massive pain that should've been there. The last thing he saw was the orc head upstairs, searching for others. At least he'd bought Vera some time, and he smiled lightly as his life faded away completely.

As Vera and her father made their way toward the edge of the city, a drow man, a citizen they'd recognized from their village, stepped out from the shadows. Everyone knew of him, but no one knew what he did or who he was really. Just that his name was Selzin. He was wearing dark leathers, and had at least two sheathed daggers visible on his person. He held a finger to his lips, gesturing for them to follow him, not to the edge of the village, but rather, further in, behind the buildings. He crept along the shadows, peered nervously around the corners, waving at them.

When they got closer to him, "If you try to leave the city, they'll slaughter you. We need to hide, not run," his voice hushed and raspy. "They are killin' as many humans and dwarves they can find. If you survive the night, you'll be fine tomorrow. It's the way it works here. And I can make that happen, for a price, which we'll discuss after."

He waited for the orc patrol to move past the alley he was planning to cross, and he did so, footsteps carefully placed to be silent. He ducked in behind the other building, a gem shop, the man peering through the bottom of the window. In there he saw some drow laughing as they butchered the dwarf family inside. He gestured for his companions to follow, but to stay low, as he continued to watch the scene. The drow finally finished with their quarry and left, not looting the store, as per the agreement, after all, there'd be a new shopkeeper in the morning.

Waiting for the door to shut, their shady companion pulled out a set of picks, and made short work of the lock on the backdoor. He slipped inside, and made his way to the front windows, and peered at them, watching for any prying eyes, before closing the curtains. Then he relaxed. He turned to look for his new companions, knowing they'd likely have many questions for him.
