Twinklemoon — Roleplayer Guild

It has been a long time since the group met at the city fo Quelath and decided to take on a request from a local influent noble, who was hiring any able bodies to make the long travel to the continent of the Great Desert in order to access the old ruined city in its center. In the ruins was rumored to be an artefact of great value that would, apparently, make a great addition to the man's collection. Days later, the group left the port city of Ami'teth aboard a ship headed for the desert city...but things took a turn for the worst. Their ship came accross the wreckage of yet another trading ship...bringing the news of the ultimate fate of one of the group member's sister. Angered and determined, they took it upon themselves to chase the pirates who committed the act in hope of finding the missing Kantonian. After being attacked by one of the great sea serpents (that was supposed to live and get away, but apparently died thanks to the initiative of one fo you T_T) they themselves were wreckaged upon the shores of the Windy island, home to the savage elves, the Kel'dians. After passing some time in the dense jungles of the island to heal their wounds, as well as meeting a new dwarf friend, the group moved on. They did not go far before being anbushed by the very same pirates that attacked they're friend's ship. Their camp was not far from here, as was predicted by Marren, an ex corsair from Ari.

Captured and dragged off to the pirates camp where they were separated, the group passed one of their worst moment so far...even losing their newly found companion, who also was a dear friend. They eventually managed to escape and group up, create a prisoner uprising and finally to flee from the wretched place until they reached a small elven farming village surrounded by fields submerged in water, a particularity of the crops they grew here (rice fields). A few days passed where the group finally had some well earned rest and peace, if not for yet another newcomer who had a thing for ladies. As if a curse was placed upon them, peace did not remain. They soon received a message destined to Maria, the so to speak leader of the company, well against her will. The apparent leader of a group of mercenary camped in the surrounding jungle gave her an ultimatum; to come alone or they would raid and sack the village. Maria's friends opposed for her to go alone, and she accepted
However, the very next night...

-- -- == -- -- == -- -- == -- -- == -- --

Maria had already woke herself up a few moments earlier. They had set ''camp'' inside of the house of their most recent friend. The original plan was to wait for day light before heading outside in order to confront the bandits...but she had other plans. While the ex-knight already try to convince them she'd go alone, they refused. Further insisting would have resulted to nothing, so she faked to surrender to their judgement. When everyone was sleeping, Maria woke up and took only her sword, her armor would hjave alerted the others, and she left the house. She was determined to settle this alone, no matter the outgoing. There was no mistake about the author of the letter...it had to be her sister. The signature did not lie.This news came to Maria as a shock. It was as if a ghost came straight out of the past to haunt her, and it was a pretty accurate comparison. It was fresh outside and there were no clouds in the sky, allowing the moon to shine bright. To notice such things...could she be more tense than she forced herself to believe? Nonetheless, it took her only a few minutes before she finally left the village on her way towards the flickering torches that were visisble not too far from the jungle border.

As soon as she was a few steps away from the trees, no less than six men came out of the vegetation, armed and ready. ''I came to speak with your leader. Where is she?'' Maria demanded, actually much louder than necessary. The bandits looked at one another, her confidence and lack of apparent fear made them confused, but there was no reason to be scared. They approached her not to harm her, but simply escort her to the heart of the camp. Maria posed no resistance for now. As they were walking, Maria saw what they were up against. The group of bandits were not so numerous, but had good equipment. They probably turned mercenary and received their gear from the employer, there was no way a group of bandit originating from Cabadra could have ambushed a Cabadran military force to steal it from them, they would have been slain without doubt.

''I want to see my sister. Now.''
