Role Playing Story Chapter 4: Infiltration and Liberation

"Jericho, not so conspicuously," Delmenon said, his voice now high and melodic. He silently agreed with the Hero of Air, this WAS weird! "They will be suspicious if they see you using your Mastery of Air to transport her.....but I managed to find out how they bring visitors and prisoners of the non-flying races to their city," he pulled a nondescript brown cape from his pack, and draped it over Tamona's shoulders....the cape rippled, and split apart into a pair of dull brown wings, "These will let you fly....but not very well, since these are designed for prisoners."

Jericho stared at Delmenon, wings quivering in confusion. "Where did you get that thing?"

He shook his head, "anyway, I had intended to use the wind only as a boost. use the wings for posterity sake, but be propelled by the wind itself."

[Dragonsbane]

Delmenon shrugged, "I bought it from a mercenary in the last town we went to, and I made him fly it himself to prove it worked," he grinned, then continued, "Jericho, I get the feeling that Gwaethir himself does that.....if he sees you, he'll know what you are. Just use the wings, and the other Avariel will think you are one of them, since you will be flying more like one than if you used your own powers."

"hey guys, let me go on my own. kay?" I need to go in alone on this one."

Jericho sighed. "Very well, as akward as it seems, let us be off. Talos has had a good 10 minutes to get ahead of us."

With that they took off, soaring through the skies after their shadowy companion.

Judas' eyes snapped open, her body rose erily to it's feet, requiring little to no effort.

This damned host is too weak. I will require a new one soon. she thought to herself, then noticed the turmoil in the sea far away.

Her eyes narrowed as she realized that Gwaethir was taking over her job.

"We can't have that." she said aloud, and stalked her course to the sea.

[Dragonsbane]

Delmenon flapped his wings, attached a collar with a chain leash to Tamona's neck (she's supposed to be a prisoner, she might get away if left unnattended.....details may save your life!), and leapt into the sky, with her following close behind. He found that he genuinely enjoyed the sensation of air rushing through his wings, and performed a few dizzying aerial loops, laughing at the thrill of it, then zooming off to catch up to Jericho. Tamona giggled at the barbarian clowning around, and at seeing his familiar smile on an elvish face, then hurried to catch up.

Talos flew into the gate of the city and accidentally rematerialized, catching the attention of a nerby Avariel guard. Talos grabbed the guard's sword and impaled him upon it. He left the body.

Talos melded into a wall of the Avariel city. He silently moved into a shadow and listened to two more guards talking in an slightly different dialect of Elven. "Did you hear about that murder at the front gate?" asked one of them in a whisper. "It was a suicide, you idiot!" snapped the other.

The field was blood spattered with animal parts as the ogre feasted. The elf pondered the question previously asked.... why were they going north? The elf only came up with the same answer.... gut feelings, internal compass and all that jazz. He crossed his arms and stood there as the ogre chowed down...
After awhile, they were running across the plains full-fledged with speed, like a race horse and it's jockey. Excpet both of these beings could think for themselves.....
After a long days worth of roaming the countryside, they settled down to rest for the night. Scott stirred around his meal in a pot over a fire, while the ogre attacked more unsuspecting cattle. The elf relaxed for a moment, sitting down and crossing his arms around his legs. He starred into the night sky, looking upon the stars and wondering where the next days worth of travel would take them....

[Dragonsbane]

Gwaethir closed his eyes, sensing the approach of another Evil...."ah, Judas is finally ready to begin doing her own damn job.....filthy fish-smelling coastal cities! Feh!" he sneered, then stabbed the mayor of the town he had been systematically reducing to splinters in the belly, slicing it open and spilling his entrails on the ground, then slashing him across the throat.

Tamona smiled at Demenon again, and then stuffed a gag in her mouth to add to the prisoner appearance. She continued to enjoy the flight.

Tanthalas smashed a bottle of wine on the ground and watched Ze plague a fortress with his ballista. "We're getting nowhere! We must find and kill Tamona."
