CARAVAN IC- the stone forest

[Thaedael]

"If you weren't so weak, I would slap you back harder." She leaned once more into the nook of the tree branch high in the canopy. The day had come full circle it seemed, and she leaned her three-cornered hat further down her forehead, blocking the sun light peaking over the horizon as the morning begun to fully be realized.

“Good map... although I can see a few inaccuracies here and there…. Otherwise it’s the work of a master…you could use with some cartography skills. Logan is your man.” says the leader of the caravan. “Very well place your stuff on a cart and talk to Logan if you have any questions and to sign your name up for the trip.. He’s the guy with purple insignia’s on his clothes… you can’t miss him. He looks like a half shaved yeti.” The caravan leader says laughing at his own joke. He points you in the direction of Logan.

Jinedria:

“Mine??” He suddenly blushes a deep red as he wasn’t expecting you to talk to him. “It’s Zephyros.” He looks down when he says his awkward name. “I’m an apprentice for a brewer. What are you?” He says. He has a thin body as though he was not eating enough food. He has large, lanky arms for someone his age. There are burn marks on his arm. They seem to be the ones that only potions could inflict on people.

Female Guard headquarters (Jennifer and Myu)

“ABOUT TIME YOU TWO GOT OUT!” Grace says. She looks at Myu. “IF YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY SPEAK LOUDER YOU MUTE PIECE OF SHI-!” She is sent flying into the wall by a punch to the face. The old commander steps into view. She is now a General. “HOW ABOUT YOU STOP BITCHING AT YOUR PEOPLE AND GET THE FUCKING JOB DONE!” she shouts angrily. She takes the commander and slaps her hard across the other cheek. She releases the commander and walks over to Myu and Jennifer. “Listen up you two… the caravan is going out into the stone forest… Be careful out there… or you’ll end up like this.” She takes off her armguard and reveals a severe burn. Pieces of melted armor infused within the flesh of her arm. She shows it to Jennifer and Myu quickly and puts her armguard back on. “You two are the best people I know so far in the female guard post. Stay safe out there.” She says before turning her back on Jennifer and Myu. It seems a tear is flowing down her face as she walks away.

Ivan:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The people make way for Ivan as he rides his horse in the crowd. Some of the older members, that have come to know him, nod at him in respect. “Ivan about time you woke up! Help me with this line! This seems to be the biggest line of people we’ve had in ages!” The leader says with panic. Ivan’s experience told him that the leader was just being a lazy bum again. From his viewpoint atop the horse he could see Ginglias, Jinedria, and Fagsag amongst the large crowd of people around him.

Garian and Aessith:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Garian and Aessith both hear the chopping of wood nearby. It signals that a logger was nearby. “HEY RICK! I’M GOIN FOR A WALK!” Jim calls. “ALLRIGHT STEVE HAVE FUN OUT THERE!” Rick replies snickering at the way Jim announced when he was going to relive himself. A silence falls upon the forest once again. The sound of water splashing on a tree emanates to the right of Garian and below Aessith. Jim whistles a tune as he takes his number one.

James:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The two girls scream as James leaps upon them. They manage to corner themselves between the wall and James. “Amy! We’re going to die!! I told you we shouldn’t have come here!” says other girl says. Amy looks at James. “Please… don’t kill us… we were…only trying to get away… sorry for trespassing…” She breaks down mentally and starts crying in fear hugging the other girl tightly. Their naked bodies are pretty defenseless right now.

Ginglias:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

“Can you make me something out of this?” She says taking out a cat’s eye emerald. Her parents watch her take out her jewel. The dad carried a pickaxe and the mother carried a shovel. They seemed to be miners. “Hey Julia; who is this girl you’re talking to?” The dad asks with a friendly smile. The mother shyly waves her hand saying hello to Ginglias. They seemed to be nice people in general

[That_One_Guy]

Garian hears this and looks at Aessith, "Have fun with him, find out if he has a wife so that I can have fun too, or maybe a daughter over 18." He said with a smile to her, even though he had just told her that he'll behave, they still had time before the Caravan started off. He just hoped Aessith didn't refuse.

[SugarCookie]

"Heh, master? More like someone who has been traveling a lot out there" She says starting to wake up, cracking joints in her body that seem impossible. She does as the man says and fills out the sheet, putting her name as Thaedael instead. She heard that name somewhere she can't remember, and thought it good to keep her own name secret.
Then she grabs her bag, plops it on the cart, ties it down, then walks over to Logan with her map "Hey, I heard you were good at map stuff" she says leaning on his shoulder, waving the map in front of him "Don't mind me, justa bit tired..."

[daxtinator396]

James growled at them as they cried in fear and begged for their lives. He looked over their naked bodies hungrily as he claws sheathed themselves having no further need for them. While their naked bodies were defenseless fleshy and soft his was scaly hard and made for defense. He had no need for clothes and as a result they could see the dragon sized erection forming in front of his eyes making his intentions about whether he would kill them clear and he rumbled deep in his throat,"If you wish to live you will please me. If you do well enough I may even let you leave." He said advancing on them and his cock slapping one on the nose.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Jenny was having a hard time resisting the urge to deck the commander - not wanting to promote insubordination - once she started shouting at Myu. She's heard about the poor girl's past grievances, and she's been through enough in life without some authority-drunk CO giving her-

Oh...seems the commander took care of the decking for her...that's a relief.

With that out of the way, Jenny listens to the General's advice, and can't help but wince at the armor bits welded into her arm...that's gotta hurt. Did she get that fighting a dragon, or something? "Yes ma'am, we'll be careful. I trained in use of a bow for good reason." She pats Bellona on that last sentence, as a gesture of reassurance. It pays to be ready for archers when you're on guard duty, and sometimes, it's best to fight fire with fire.

[Taria]

GeeGee avoids direct eye contact with the man shyly as he announces his prence. "I am Ginglias, gemcrafter." She says softly. Trying to direct her attention somewhere else she takes a look down at the girl's hand and asks, "May I see you friend more closely?" while holding out her own. With her unnaterally keen eyes Ginglias can examine gems quite easly without the need for microscopic tools or anything of that sort, however she likes to hold them in her hand and feel their weigh and energy when she speaks to them.

[Thaedael]

"Nah not really in the mood. Yes I am a succubus, yes I get those urges, but common man, he isn't worth my time or effort, my flesh is too good for him. Besides, you said to keep a low profile, and what better way then to sit in a tree and relax?" she asked from under the collar of her coat. She continued to survey the city from the tree-top, not giving two shits about the man minding his own business. He had nothing to do with her, and murdering an innocent that isn't in her way made no sense, no matter how morally warped her mind may have become over the last 5 centuries.

[That_One_Guy]

Garian shrugged, "Alright, suit yourself. But you make a point, no need to let them know a monster is nearby." He said and relaxed a little, hands behind his head. The guy was probably single anyways, no wife to seduce or anything.

[napsii]

Jin nodded, trying to be patient. The coming departure of the caravan had at least a third of the town in a knot, but she thought it polite to make room for others. She hummed internally, finding intrigue in his name. Zephyros. It was rather exotic, not unlike her own; Jinedria was an ancient name of the Iievyr. As far as she understood, it had been centuries since an Iievyr of Fire was last named this. Thus, she tried to be courteous.

"Well, I'm a merchant," she replied as she adjusted her armor, "I know it doesn't look like it, heh, but I'm tagging along with this caravan." she went on to explain. She cracked the slightest of smiles at Zephyros' awkwardness, though. It had a childlike charm to it, and reminded her somewhat of the Fayers' clan's relatives. Mrs. Fayers had the most adorable niece and nephew, both of whom were shaping up to be talented magicians. They'd always taken an enormous interest in her.

"I'll call you 'Zeph' for short, if that's okay... are you coming too?" she questioned, looking down at the scars lacing his arms. She knew brewers, and such wounds weren't part of the job. But for the sake of polite conversation, she didn't comment.

[Hazard1325]

Ivan smiled and gave a nod to the leader. "Whatever I can do to help." He splits the line to another desk after dismounting, and begins evaluating prospective guards and merchants. He weeds out the shady or inexperienced quickly and sends the ones he think may be qualified to their respective groups to receive orders. He doesn't mind doing desk work, but the growing paperwork tires him, he's not bad at writing... but his strengths lie elsewhere.

Fagsag:

Logan takes the map. He takes out large pieces of papers. Each paper is labeled with the area the man has been in. He takes out the one labeled Doverum. He lays out the map and you see a drawing with the locations almost everything in and around Doverum. He lays down your paper next to it looking to and fro from his paper to yours. “This is actually a pretty decent map…” He says shaking his head in awe at how a little girl could actually rival his skills in map drawing. “Tell me… have you had any training before or did you do this in your free time?” he asks. He long puffy beard swinging around. He sticks out his hairy hand handing back to you your map. (think of Hagrid except with black hair and less hair)

Jinedria:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

“Yes this is the first time my master has let me go farther than the city walls. My first adventure, for both business and for new experiences! You can call me whatever you want Miss. Jinedria.” Zephyros says with a large grin on his face. “What do you sell?” he asks with curiousity. A tall blundering fool walks straight into Jinedria he continues like nothing happened. Zephyros rushes over and picks Jinedria up. He brushes her armor to get the dirt off of it. “Are you OK?” he says with great worry.

Female Guard headquarters (Jennifer and Myu)

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The General turns around and walks back. She hugs both Jennifer and Myu. “I’ve watched both of you grow up into such mature guards… It breaks my heart to watch the people I’ve trained with my sweat, blood, and tears go away. Promise me something… don’t die like the other fools that have been sent out there like you two are about to be…” she says with a serious face. The memories of General Samantha training and fighting alongside both Jennifer and Myu go through the minds of all three.
(tell me if I should skip the lovey dubby scene and move on)
(Sorry foxy... you didn't act fast enough )

Ivan:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The bartender makes her way up the line. She reaches the front of the line and says. “HI IVAN!!” with her usual over energetic charisma. She runs around the table and glomps Ivan to the floor. “I got permission to come along with you!” she says kissing you on the cheek. The barkeep is in the background. He takes off his hat like he’s saying “You’re welcome” He then shoots you a murderous glance that says. “Make sure she comes back alive.”

Garian and Aessith:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The lumberjack finishes. He walks away unhurt and unscathed. The sound of axes pounding on wood rhythmically disturbs the usual silence of the woods. A tree timbers and nearly breaks the branch Aessith is sitting on. The tree is slowly dragged away like nothing happened.

James:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

“Felicia… should we?” Amy asks. Felicia is too stunned to respond with the large membrane in her face. She opens her mouth and sticks out her tongue. She licks the long membrane following James’ command like an obedient bitch. “You… sick bastard…” Amy says snarling at you. Tears flow down both of their down both of their faces as they realize they are going to be fuck… raped* by a dragon.

Ginglias:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Julia places the cat’s eye emerald in GeeGee’s hand. It weighs about 100 carats. The thin line in between the jewel makes it look as though it can read your future and beyond. The jewel itself however looks like it just came out of a mine. “Ahh… so you understand jewels I see… So tell me what type is it? I’ve been wanting to know ever since I found it 2 months ago… oh, where are my manners… my name is Calvin and this is my wife Nina. We’re miners. She’s mute so she doesn’t speak.” He says kissing Nina on the head. The wife blushes and nods in agreement while Calvin explains the situation

Emily:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Emily wanders into the city and finds a large crowd of people. The sounds of the caravan pounds in her head from her years spent in solitude. The first thing that she notices are two people on the ground (Ivan and the bartender) the second thing she notices is the girl wearing some weird gauntlets (Ginglias). Emily’s sharp and wary eyes noticing things other people would not. Of all the sights and sounds where shall she go first?

[Taria]

Ginglias turns the gem over in her hand in quiet contemplation. "This is cat's eye emerald. She is very subtle, but interesting. Perhaps she would do well in an amulet, to help you see things you might otherwise miss. Hints about the future..." Ginglias clutches the gem tightly in her hand before releasing it, gingerly handing it back to the little girl.

[That_One_Guy]

Garian watched this and laughed as Aessith was nearly hit, "You okay there?" He asked with a smile, hands behind his head still, relaxing. Though the axes hitting wood pissed him off, he was put into a better mood with that display.

[Hazard1325]

Ivan gets up pulling the bartender (Who needs a name) up with him. He nods to the barkeep and turns back to the girl putting a hand on her shoulder. "This is dangerous work traveling the routes, are your sure your up to it?" Ivan pulls one of the worker sheets over handing her a quill. His imagination treats him to all sorts of horrors that might ambush them out on the roads. "Think about it before you sign." Once shes taken care of he continues thinning the crowd either sending them home or assigning them to a leader.

[SugarCookie]

8D I LOVE HAGRID!

"Free time, I've been around for a while, I look older than I am. But no, this is the result of luck, a directionally challenged girl, and lots and lots of time on her hands..." She said grabbing his beard and playing with it a tad.

[daxtinator396]

James gives a happy rumble in his throat as Felcity licks his member and with her mouth still open he thrusts his dragon cock down her throat mercilessly as he puts one hand on her head to keep her from pulling away and the other on Amy`s arm as he pushes her down to Felicity`s crotch and shoving her face into her snatch. He felt words weren`t neccasary for that and their tears prevented them from speaking. Well that and having their mouths full of genitals. Their tears only egged him on in the brutal hate fuck that was about ot ensue.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Jenny's eyes widen a bit when General Samantha hugs her and Myu. Then she hears the General's concerns, and starts having flashbacks. The three of them had spent so much time in training alone, and even more in the field. Jenny herself remembers several occasions...like the time she climbed to the top of the training pole. With the thing about 40 feet high, doing that's no small feat. Jenny also remembers saving Myu from a dwarven berserker; that dude took more arrows than she thought possible from such a short and stout guy.

Seeing General Samantha so worried ill suits her, however, so Jenny might as well give her some words of encouragement. "I promise you, General, we'll both come back alive. I've outlasted those creeps this far, and that's not a streak I'm willing to break." Jenny doesn't say it out loud, but she'll make sure they don't get Myu either; the two are indeed close like sisters, and no one would let their sister fall prey to horn-dogged beasts.

[KnightVanilla]

Emily never stayed in these kind of cities too long. She didn't like the idea of being lost in crowds like these. It was very suffocating being in large crowds. She takes a deep breath to keep her thoughts under control. Carrying her staff along as she walked towards the two who fell a moment ago. She tugs at the mans sleeve and asks "Is this where I sign up?" Giving him an blank stare.

[Hazard1325]

Ivan feels a tug on his arm and looks over smiling. He then puts a fresh form in front of him and looks at Emily. "Name, age, profession, and relevant skills please." He's dressed in worn full plate and his weapons are leaning against the desk, he doesn't seem like he should be filling out papers at a desk but he does it with a good natured smile.
