That comes up to a count of three things by now, right? Counting blocking out the sun, the character/scenario Duncan is based on [wait...does that make four? oh, whatever], and the idea for a vampire with a soul who used to be Evil. That's not as much as, say, Admiral has lifted from Norse mythology, or Scar has lifted from Anne Rice/Kain universe. And those examples aside, I believe I have used more original material than anyone else in this RPG. So there!

Raschel: *under her breath* Great.

Marin: It shouldn't be too much trouble. I expect Svafa here...or the other Aesir...know something about these traps.

Aidan: *muttering* Traps. Sure. Whatever. So long as I can get in open air again...

[Deac]

[Hey! Most of my stuff is mine or carefully disguised so you cannot tell I stole it.]

Orthos: What? More? Just for once, couldn't we find a helpful sect of monks that will give us the next piece and let us spend weeks and weeks at their beautigul monestary and give us cool stuff when we leave? No? Aww well

*Puts down copy of LOTR*( )

[Kuuki]

((You sad little man, deac. you sad little man...))

*WH Irvine exits via cargo ramp* ((The best way to leave a ship, btw (actually i have no clue why i typed that...)))

*WH Irvine looks at the scenery, and sees a calm land fulled with trees and semi tall grass. 'Must be spring here on this planet. I wonder how far we are away from the temple...' he thought as he walked through the neglectedly untrimed grass.*

[Redwing]

((Hahahahaha @ Deac ))


Aidan: I don't think he was listening when they were talking about traps.

Misae: He never listens.

Raschel: Someone should warn him...

Misae: Why bother?

[Kuuki]

*WH Irvine stops.*

WH Irvine: "Whats keeping them?"

[Admiral]

((Of course I use Norse mythology. I also use other mythologies as well, from greek to celtic. I think anyone with any bit of knowledge in mythology could see that.))


*Coming up behind WH Irvine, Idun grabs his collar and yanks him back sharply and non to gently. She then shoves him back towards the group. Right in front of Irvine was a trap*

Idun: Idiot. Did you not hear what Svafa said? There are traps all over so you just decide the mindlessly wander off. Not to mention going in the wrong direction. Next time pay attention.

*With the two returning to the group. Svafa looks around, everyone was accounted for. Going up to WH Irvine*

Svafa: Your lucky Idun is here. I would not have gone after you.

*Turning around she heads in the direct opposite direction that WH Irvine was going in.*

Svafa: Follow me carefully. Traps are everywhere and extermly lethal. This will take at least two of your standard Coruscant days. While we are here we will also not see a shread of sunlight, so for those who don't see as well at night be extra careful.

[Kuuki]

RH Irvine: "Shouldn't really scold him as much, I don't think he was with us when you explaned that little detail about traps."

WH Irvine: "And just what do you mean by that?"

*RH Irvine smiles.*

WH Irvine: "Hey start stop speaking in riddles, and stop speaking basic!" *sighs* "Whats the use..."

RH Irvine: "You give up too easy. Just come allong, and follow their instructions to the letter..." *turns and follows Svafa*

[Deac]

*Orthos follows carefully behind*

Orthos: Why didn't we just land closer?

[Admiral]

((does anyone actually read what Svafa said?

"Svafa: We had to land a good distance away from the temple to avoid traps."
------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone can tell me why I choose to name the ship Asgardreid I'll give you a cookie. Red you excluded since I told you.))

Idun: THat is no excuse, and we landed far to avoid traps. Please pay attention...

*Heimdall Joins Svafa at the lead. The group begins to enter a heavily forested area*

[BattleDog]

((I'm still waiting to see when Admiral is going to introduce the eight legged horse.))

Hal: Has it ever occurred to you that you Asier always really over do things?

[BattleDog]

Asgardreid: Wild Hunt, a supernatural group of huntsmen in mad pursuit across the skies. Sometimes reffered to as Odin's Hunt or Asgardareia

[Admiral]

((The eight legged horse is named Sleipnir, and I already introduced it, rather it's essences. I don't know if anyone has noticed this but the names of the Aesir's personal ships/transports are named after their horses. Heimdall is Gulltop and Odin's is Sleipnir.
--------------------------------------------------------

Your close BD, but no cigar. Asgardried; Asgard's ride/chase. It is the wild ride (hunt) of Odin and Frigg. However that really isn't the core reason. What you missed is when the Asgardreid is really active. Dark, Stormy yule Nights.))

Idun: No, it hasn't.

[Redwing]

*Marin trots along in wolf morph. These forests were different from the ones the wolf was adapted to, but similar in enough ways.

Raschel uncomfortably pulls twigs out of her hair, wishing she had cut it before leaving*

Aidan: *impatiently* How much longer?

[Kuuki]

WH Irvine: 'She's kinda right, this is boring... Oh well, at least I like these parts. So calm...'

[Admiral]

Idun: Aidan is a male you moron.

[time advance: 1 day give or take]

*After going a long ways with out rest Svafa suddenly stops*

Svafa: Alright we stop here for 6 hours. Please try and get some rest we will be at the temple tomorrow.

*Idun sets down her pack next to a tree, sits down and and seems to be sleeping in minutes*

Heimdall: I'll take keep guard.

*Svafa Finds another spot, opposite to Idun and she sits and rest. Heimdall goes off to stand watch. A seeming fog sets in*

[Redwing]

((Yup, Aidan's a male. In fact I have a (rather simple) picture of my side of the PtH cast (minus Misae): http://www.deviantart.com/view/1834588

Left to right: Aidan, Raschel, Marin, Guy. ))

[Deac]

[Cool!]

*Orthos sits round the campfire*

Orthos: Aren't we supposed to sing songs or tell ghost stories?

[Admiral]

Svafa: Shut up and go to sleep.

[BattleDog]

*Hal begins sharpening his sword, the scraping keeps everyone awake, suddenly he hears something. Hal picks up his rifle, adjusts the sights and fires. Something goes thud in the darkness.

Hal dashes off and comes back with a dead Nerf. He guts it, sets up a spit and begins cooking.*

Hal: Anyone hungry for some real found? I've had enough of compo rations.

((Admiral: Damm, oh well.))

[Admiral]

Svafa: Are you a moron? Traps everywhere so you just head out with no idea where they are. And be quite, and get some rest.

[Kuuki]

*Both Irvine's are already dead asleep, and wasn't distracted. Both of them haven't had a wink of sleep in at least 3 days, training.*

[Redwing]

((Deac: Thanks! ^_^

A cookie to whoever recognizes the inspiration for Raschel's clothing. ))


*Aidan, naturally, doesn't sleep, except for a couple of fitful naps. Gargoyles were day sleepers and if he could he would have been sleeping the entire time the group was walking. He sits and watches the campfire unmoving until Flax returns with the nerf*

Aidan: I'm all for it. I can't stand these rations.

*Marin looks into the forest in wolf morph, seeming to debate something. Whatever it is, she eventually decides to demorph and goes to sleep in her human form, not saying a word.

Raschel gave up on her hair and goes to sleep.

Guy sits silently, eyes open. It took a while for the rest of the group to realize that he actually was asleep, because he never closed them*

[Admiral]

[time advance: Almost 5 and 1/2 hours]

*The fire by now is burnt out. Heimdall who hasn't slept taps Svafa on the shoulder. Svafa is instantly awake*

Heimdall *wishpering*: Come with me I need to show you something.

*Svafa follows Heimdall into the woods. They are quickly hidden from the group. They move quickly and quietly until Heimdall stops. He then points out some folliage to Svafa and the ground*

Heimdall: Notice anything?

*Svafa takes a moment to examine them. The edges of some appeared frozen others burnt. When finished she nods at Heimdall*

Svafa: How fresh is the trail?

Heimdall: It is fairly fresh. Let's return to the group.

*The two set off back towards the group*

Heimdall: They don't know that we are here. With any luck we will go unnoticed. The ship has already cloaked.

*Svafa nods in agreement. They are going to have to alert Idun to this.

They return to the groups camp site*

Svafa: Wake up, it's time to go.

*Idun is awake at Svafa first words and is already getting ready.*

Svafa: We leave in five minutes.

[Kuuki]

*Both Irvine's wake up rather relucently, both mirroring each other in stretching and yawning, unware that they are doing so.*

[Deac]

*Orthos gets up and splashes his face with water from his canteen*

Orthos: Heh. Deac used to do this sort of thing...then he got captured. Oh well. No project, no jedi Starkiller, no DNA, no 25% Orthos.

[BattleDog]

*Hal has not been sleeping, rather he has been meditating. Sensing the movement around him he opens his eyes and stands. Then he proceeds to wash and check his gear.*

[Redwing]

*Raschel smirks, rubbing her eyes* You don't have DNA, Orthos?

*Guy wakes up. The others can tell because he starts moving again. Aidan stares.

Marin wakes up, oddly muttering "Water..." She stops when she become aware of Aidan and the others staring at her as well. Aidan offers her water, but she refuses.

Misae fingers her lightsaber and paces, waiting for the others to get ready*

[Kuuki]

*RH Irvine stands up and walks upbeside Misae, keeping his back turned from the group.*

RH Irvine: *softly, enough for Misae to hear* "I hope you don't mind me intruding, but you wouldn't be happening to be looking for the quicker way, right?"

[Redwing]

Misae: What are you talking about?

[Admiral]

Svafa: Alright we are moving out.


*Svafa and Heimdall once agian take point, and Idun covers the rear*

Svafa: We will reach the temple today, so be prepared.

*Svafa goes off making her way towards the temple, Heimdall at her side*

[Deac]

[Get there already!]

*Orthos treads behind them*

Orthos: What can we expect to find?

[Admiral]

((Patiences. They will be tonight when I get home form work. (unless something happens))

[Kuuki]

RH Irvine: "Well, maybe if you put thought in what I said and in yourself, you wouldn't have asked..." *smiling*

[Redwing]

Raschel: *to Orthos* I don't want to know, I really don't.

Misae: *to RH Irvine* Starting making sense, or go away.

[Kuuki]

RH Irvine: "I shouldn't have to rephrase myself, you are not comprehending, that is all..." *increases the distence between himself and Misae*

[Admiral]

*Idun places a hand on RH Irvine's shoulder and pulls him to a stop*

Idun: Maybe you are making sense in that feeble mind of yours but to the rest of us what you said is pure nonsense.

[time advance: 8 hours]

*The forest starts to thin and eventually the group comes upon the ancient Sith city. In the center of the city was the Sith temple. A large ziggurat, it dominated the sky line*

Svafa: *motioning to the temple* That is our destination. Be on guard, something doesn't feel right.

*Svafa walks towards the main street leading directly to the temple. *

[Redwing]

Misae: No kidding it doesn't feel right. This is a Sith temple.

*Raschel readies her blaster. Aidan sniffs the air for suspicious scent trails*

[Admiral]

Svafa: The Sith have nothing to do with this. Hell, I would be happy if there were just Sith here. They would be easy to handle.

[Kuuki]

[pre-skip]

[edit]((Just for the record, I did make it quite obvious what the hell RH Irvine was talking about))[/edit]

RH Irvine: *pulling away from Idun.* "I don't think I was talking to you... And no I was making sense."

[/pre-skip]

WH Irvine: "Either way this will be an interesting day, wouldn't it?"

[BattleDog]

Hal: Easy? What kind of Sith did you fight? Even if there aren't anySith here their evil is and evil breeds evil.
