Eight-legged freaks?

[Guest]

You hear a faint, barely audible clicking noise.
Nilan glances around the room
Dornax says 'Ye hear that?'
Nilan says 'indeed...'
Dornax says 'What be it?'
*clicketyclicketyclicketyclick* *clicketyclicketyclicketyclick*
Nilan drops to one knee arms crossed in respect to a drow god
Dornax raises an eyebrow. Whats this?
Nilan lowers his eyes
Dornax looks about cautiously.
Nilan says 'forgive me....what is it you will have me do'
Nilan keeps his gaze lowered
Dornax lowers his gaze, emulating the drow.
Nilan says 'my heart...interferred with what i had to do'
*clicketyclicketyclicketyclick* *clicketyclicketyclicketyclick*
Dornax says 'How so?'
*clicketyclicketyclicketyclick*
*click*
Nilan says 'never shall it happen again....spider'
Dornax says 'Show yerself'
Nilan says 'i am ...yours'
You seem to notice something on the wall...
Living Room
Room size: Mid-sized (L:25 ft W:25 ft H:10 ft)
Exits: -N -E -S
Dornax (RP) (Dwarf) stands here.
Nilan (RP) (Drow Elf) stands here.(Red Aura)
Dornax examines the wall closer.
Nilan lifts his gaze toward the wall
Dornax gets some iron rations from his portable hole.
Dornax puts partial in hole.
...which moves to the ceiling, directly above you...
Dornax moves.
..and lowers itself down by a single strand of silk...
Nilan remains kneeling out of respect for the spider
Dornax examines the object.
The spider gazes with all eyes at both of you, staring with solid black pupils..
Nilan says 'i will speak when you demand it, my deity'
'You failed me, Velg'larn. What reason should I ever have of devoting any single shred of my conscience to watching you?'
A mass of shadows coalesce before you, darkening the area...
When they clear, Fotex stands before you, looking extremely tired!
'You broke the rule of silence. You let your emotions betray you.'
Nilan says 'i failed...yes...i let my heart influence my motives'
Nilan says 'i beg forgiveness, my god...'
'Had you even attempted to assassinate that bitch without speaking, I would have still been pleased with you.'
A drow scout frowns.
Nilan says 'see that now....'
Nilan says 'you have my word...i shall not fail again'
Nilan says 'i will do what you ask of me...for the drow people'
Nilan says 'for our world'
A drow scout licks his mouth and smiles.
'But now your wife must suffer the fate of the ring until I decide your actions have atoned for your crime of foolishness.'
Nilan says 'my wife...'
Nilan says 'she...'
'Your foolishness nearly cost her dearly as well. Not that I care any for her citizenship of that wretched city.'
Nilan says 'whatever punishment you desire spider i gladly accept....i failed...my heart betrayed me'
'Your punishment has been meted out, already.'
Nilan says 'what is it you want me to do'
A drow scout looks puzzled.
Nilan says 'you have but to speak it....i shall obey'
'It has come time to choose your path, Velg'larn.
Nilan keeps his eyes lowered
'The fork in the road lies before you.'
Nilan says 'i have felt it'
Nilan says 'i will choose it'
'You must choose...the life that you were born into, or the life you have shown you wish to lead.'
Dornax eyes the drow carefully.
'I cannot, and will not make you choose. But once the choice is made, there is no turning back.'
Nilan says 'i will choose the reason i have ventured here ...that is and always was to aid my people...the drow nation'
Nilan says 'my people must surrive'
A drow guard crosses his arms.
Dornax sighs loudly.
'Then you wish to renege your duty as a lone assassin, and take up the reigns of a crusader, then?'
Nilan says 'i am an assassin'
Nilan says 'i will remain an assassin'
Dornax says 'What will those of the surface who stood by ye say now, drow?'
'A crusader cannot possibly have the advantage of stealth, as popular as your name and face have become.'
Nilan says 'my heart will never interfere with my goals again'
A drow guard rolls his eyes.
Nilan says 'i am an assassin'
'You must either choose to care about your profession, or your life.'
'There is no room for love in the life of an a'quarthus velg'larn.'
A drow guard coughs loudly.
Nilan says 'my life is my profession....i am an assassin...your assassin...assassin for ,my kin'
Nilan 's hands tremble slightly as he remains in his kneeling possition
Nilan settles to his knees.
'You are drow. That does not mean you have to love them, nor care for whatever goals they may have. You can achieve these goals in your own way, should you prove to be worthy enough to be a master velg'larn.'
Nilan says 'i am worthy'
'Do you really believe that?'
Nilan says 'i have seen the errors of my heart'
Nilan says 'i do'
A drow guard flies east.
'Or do you only wish to be worthy of those you love and call friend?'
Dornax says 'Speak the truth, drow'
'They cannot bring you the sheer pleasure of a shank sinking deep into a noble's back.'
Nilan says 'no...the friends i have made on the surface will not stand beside me...this i have seen and felt'
Nilan says 'i choose my profession'
Nilan says 'my profession is my life'
'Then you must sever all ties to those you love and care for.'
Nilan says 'even if that means aiding these realms from the terrible evil that has entered'
'You do not need them, other than the final purpose of destroying the rings.'
'I will ask you again. Are you ready to cut the ties that bind you to those people?'
Nilan says 'information is both valuable to an assassins skills as is my blades'
Nilan looks the spider in the eye
'As is your maintenance in stealth.'
'Which you recently proved you were incapable of managing when your emotions were in the way. Who's to say your judgement wouldn't be clouded with the truth or fiction of information?'
Nilan says 'i am ready ....i will do what is necessary to see this evil destroyed'
Nilan says 'i am ready to be a drow assassin...as i have been taught all my life'
Nilan says 'its all i ever knew'
The spider seems to stare harder at the drow...
'Then you are ready to forsake those vows you made?'
Nilan says 'the surface cares not for me or my people....i have seen it'
'And break the hearts and promises of those you care about?'
Nilan says 'forsake my vows?'
'You know damn well what vows I speak of. Let's not beat around the bush.'
Nilan says 'will my wife not suffer if i do'
Nilan says 'you have forced her to bear something that you know will destroy her'
'Heartbreak? Of course. This is your role as an assassin. You are not allowed the luxury of emotions.'
'You still seem unsure of your path.'
Nilan says 'no i am not'
Nilan says 'my path is clear'
'Then swear to me you will sever all ties to the surface.'
Nilan says 'but will you entertain one question from me'
'As you wish.'
Nilan says 'i am Nilan Al'Shadraazar, Velg'larn of a destroyed house, now employed with Orbdrin D'oloth....i have one question for you spider'
Nilan says 'i am drow....i serve drow gods...never shall i serve a human god....reveal yourself to me so i know i serve the gods of my kin'
'My identity is not important, until you have proven yourself. I told you this long ago.'
Dornax says 'Perhaps yer merely a shadow'
Dornax says 'And not a God after all'
Nilan says 'and in proving myself i must choose a path?'
The spider glares at Dornax...
Dornax says 'The drow has a point is all, spider'
Dornax says 'Moradin would not hide from a dwarf'
The spider spits venom in the dwarf's eye, rendering him sightless!
'Then do not see.'
Nilan says 'what is it wish spider...ask again i will answer, but know this if you are not a god of my people....the assassin that you made will desire what he has always desired most....vengeance'
Dornax heals Dornax.
Dornax says 'Show yourself, spider'
'I ask only for you to choose.'
Dornax says 'Reveal who ye be'
The spider ignores the dwarf.
Nilan says 'i choose...my people'
Nilan says 'drow people'
Dornax says 'Bah'
Dornax says 'Foolishness, drow'
'Then you wish to continue the pursuit of your trade?'
Nilan says 'with all my heart'
Dornax says 'Ye toss about yer allegiance like candy'
Dornax says 'Ye know not if this spider is a god or a shadow or a demon'
Nilan lowers his eyes out of respect
Dornax says 'Fool'
'Then swear to me now, that you will sever ties to those you have cared for and allied yourself with.'
Dornax says 'Swear not, drow'
Dornax says 'This spider is no god'
'Including...your wife.'
Dornax says 'Do not break the bind, drow'
Dornax says 'You ask fer my trust'
Dornax says 'I give it'
Dornax says 'Give me yers'
Nilan says 'the spider knows if it is not a god of my people i shall become the assassin he made and i shall hunt him'
Dornax says 'If this was a god, I would be dead'
'Silence, dwarf.'
The spider glares at Dornax, as the dwarf seems to turn to stone.

---(Dornax gets major para’d here)

Nilan says 'you dwarf never wanted my trust nor my aid....you fueled the fires of the surface to harm me'
'I would not waste the effort of killing you, dwarf, when I can petrify you so much easier.'
Nilan says 'why now do you desire this alliance'
'He will not answer you. He's a little hard-headed at the moment.'
Nilan says 'the dwarf?'
'Of course, observe him, his stony texture.'
Nilan says 'may i ask one question spider'
'Another? Go ahead.'
Nilan says 'you spoke the word crusader what did you mean by that i not understand the word'
'You act as though you wish to lead a crusade of the drow people to invade the surface and take back that which was once ours.'
'You seem to be determined in this goal, and no assassin would pay homage to Selvetarm.'
Nilan says 'our people deserve to take back what indeed was taken....i pay homage to vhaerun...or i thought i did,,,,yet you do not seem to be him'
'Of course. But your role is not this.'

---(Dornax’s paralysis removed)

Nilan says 'my role?'
Dornax says 'Yer wife speaks to me, drow'
'Your role, as an assassin, is to kill.'
Dornax says 'Yer wife begs of me'
Dornax says 'Not to let you give up on .. her'
Nilan says 'vhaerun desires to further drow aims and power on the surface'
Dornax says 'Do not do this, assassin'
Nilan says 'assassin serve vhaerun '
Dornax says 'Turn yer back on this spider, ye must not listen to it'
Dornax says 'The path it leads ye on is not one to destroy the rings'
'Go ahead. Turn your back. It will be the last time you ever see me.'
Dornax says 'Nor one with those who care fer ye'
Dornax says 'It seeks to use ye'
Nilan says 'do i not follow vhaerun roles as his assassin'
Dornax says 'And when yer of no use, yesterday's news ye will be'
Nilan says 'i have indeed tried to further vhaeruns goals as his assassin'
Nilan says 'i ask only questions to understand'
Dornax says 'Drow listen to me'
Dornax says 'This is madness'
Nilan says 'dwarf...i will not listen to you'
Dornax says 'This creature dares not reveal itself to ye'
Dornax says 'Ask yerself why'
'This is your last chance.'
Nilan says 'you who turned me over to them...'
Nilan says 'will you answer my question spider'
Dornax says 'I stand with ye now'
Dornax says 'I demand nothing of ye'
Nilan says 'have i gone against the teachings of vhaerun...as his assassin?'
Dornax says 'If not listen to me, then listen to yer own wife'
Dornax says 'Or are ye a greater fool than I ever thought possible?'
'Your role is not one to lead holy crusades.'
Nilan says 'my role is....to be an assasin for my people'
Dornax rolls his eyes.
Nilan says 'and i will do that'
Dornax says 'Yer arguing semantics'
Dornax says 'Drow, I will not let ye turn yer back'
'Then swear to me now that you will sever the bonds you have to the surface.'
Dornax says 'Not on those who care fer ye'
'Or else I leave.'
Dornax says 'If ye do, I will slay this spider'
Dornax says 'Or die trying'
Dornax says 'And ye will be next'
Nilan says 'Vhaerun encourages the union with surface elves to further bring the drow people and power to the surface...is that not what vhaerun teaches'
Nilan says 'do not leave'
Nilan says 'i desire answers to my questions....is that not permitted?...I serve Vhaerun...as his Assassin....'
Nilan says 'he is drow god of assassins....'
'What's Vhaeraun have to do with any of this?'
Nilan says 'he is the god i serve'
Nilan says 'he is the Drow god...i serve'
Nilan says 'for the Drow nation...i am his assassin'
'Then serve him. Good bye.'
Nilan says 'i will not forsake my god nor my people'
Nilan says 'i am Nilan Al'Shadrazaar, Assassin for Vhaerun'
Nilan says 'I serve my people....I serve no god but Vhaerun'
'Then assassinate. You seem to talk a lot more than you act.'
'I'm beginning to believe you'd have made a better bard.'
Nilan says 'when Vhaerun desires the target, I will follow his order'
Nilan says 'so far Vhaerun has given me no orders...only you have...and you are not Vhaerun...'
'Or you can follow mine.'
'I hold control of the ring, and the fate of your wife.'
Nilan says 'and forsake my drow heritage...my kin...my god vhaerun....'
Nilan says 'to follow you, who does not serve...the drow'
Nilan says 'i am an assassin...and you should do well never to harm my wife'
'I am just as much drow as you are, you ingrate.'
'You dare threaten me?'
Nilan says 'least you feel the power of my blades backed by the might of my god, vhaerun'
Nilan says 'show yourself...if you be drow'
Dornax licks his mouth and smiles.
Dornax says 'Finally!'
Dornax utters the words, 'vitality'
Nilan rises to his feet
Your blood freezes as you hear the rattling death cry of Nilan.
'Join him, fool.'
Your blood freezes as you hear the rattling death cry of Dornax.

---(A minute goes by...)

An aura of intensly bright light surrounds Nilan for a moment.
Nilan comes to life again! Taking a deep breath, Nilan opens his eyes!
An aura of intensly bright light surrounds Dornax for a moment.
Dornax comes to life again! Taking a deep breath, Dornax opens his eyes!
Dornax flashes a wicked grin at Nilan.
'Must I continue?'
Nilan says 'ooc malar bah can you post that my log messed up'
You tell Nilan 'post what?'
Nilan says 'ooc on the rplay story board my log screwed up of our rplay, my choice etc'
You tell Nilan 'where did your log screw up at?'
Dornax says 'Continue all you want, spider, I will die a thousand deaths if I must'
Nilan says 'must yu continue....do you desire me to forsake my god Vhaerun, Drow God of Assassins'
Dornax says 'But ye will not take this drow from his duty with these rings'
Nilan says 'ooc it screwed up from the begging sigh....'
Nilan says 'err beginning'
Nilan says 'i will not forsake Vhaerun, my profession as his Assassin, or the drow people'
'As I told you. I do not need to reveal myself.'
Nilan says 'Vhaerun grants me my skills my life so that i, as his assassin, can build drow power upon the surface'
'Your worth will determine that.'
Dornax says 'The spider is scared'
'Scared? I just killed you with a thought and I'm scared of you?'
Dornax says 'Why else hide yerself?'
Dornax says 'I still breathe, do I not?'
Dornax says 'Ye may slay me, but Moradin is watching'
Dornax says 'Moradin has guided me back to my body to live another day in his graces many times before'
Nilan says 'you know what i am spider...i am Vhaeruns Assassin...my life belongs to him and the glory of the drow nation'
Dornax says 'Today would have been no different'
'Then you should know very well what I am.'
'I tire of these games.'
Dornax agrees wholeheartedly.
Nilan says 'i know you can not be vhaerun...for vhaerun does not abhore my union with a surface elf...in fact he relishes in the power that the drow might obtain'
'Either swear allegiance to me, or go to your grave wondering just what I was.'
Dornax says 'I say today is a good day to die, drow'
Dornax says 'What say ye?'
Nilan says 'your cruelty reveals yourself...spider'
The door is opened from the other side.
Gbiran enters from the south.
Gbiran peers around intently, looking for something.
Gbiran says 'ack drow!'
Dornax beams a smile at Gbiran.
'Choose.'
Gbiran leaves south.
The door closes quietly.
Nilan says 'you are Lloth....and I do not serve Lloth....I am Assassin to Vhaerun'
The door is opened from the other side.
Gbiran enters from the south.
You hear a faint snort.
Gbiran closes the door.
Gbiran sits down.
Gbiran relaxes a bit.
Nilan says 'Vhaerun guides my blades...not Lloth'
Dornax says 'Who cares which god it is?'
Dornax says 'It is not ye, spider'
'You are no assassin, you're a child with two daggers in his hands, scared that he doesn't know what to do.'
Dornax says 'Be gone with ye'
Nilan says 'I am Vhaeruns Assassin'
Nilan says 'and I will prove it'
Dornax does a full heal on Dornax.
Dornax utters the words, 'vitality'
Dornax heals Gbiran.
Dornax says 'Show yerself, spider'
'You didn't seem to prove it the day you had a blade shoved through your chest after you spoke at the trial.'
Gbiran gets out his tinkered spider shoo-awayy.
Gbiran swats at the air frantically.
Nilan says 'i...i failed...but i will not fail him again....'
'I seriously doubt you will do anything but fail with your attitude, velg'larn.'
Dornax says 'Why do ye stay here, spider?'
Dornax says 'What is it ye want?'
Dornax says 'It is almost as if ye *need* the drow to choose yer way'
Nilan says 'never...and you, spider know that i will not fail again....i am Assassin to Vhaerun'
'You say that over and over. Seems that you're trying to convince yourself.'
Dornax says 'ooc afk as ec'
Fotex peers around intently, looking for something.
Fotex looks at Gbiran.
Gbiran begins searching through his bags.
Fotex drools down his chin.
Gbiran gets a magnifying glass from his bag.
Nilan says 'no...i know what i am, i will serve him and only him , twas he that trained me, and twil be him and his goals i hold true'
Gbiran intensly studies the room with his magnifying glass.
'Then do your duty and quit associating yourself with vermin.'
Gbiran says 'HEY'
'They do nothing but try and turn you away.'
Fotex agrees wholeheartedly.
Fotex taunts Nilan, 'Nah-nah! Nah-nah!'
Nilan says 'i know my way...they will not dissuade me from my kin and attaining what my people deserve'
Nilan says 'i now what i must do...and vhaerun will guide my blade'
'You will someday realize who I am.'
Nilan says 'indeed...im sure i shall spider'
Nilan bows out of respect to the spider form
Gbiran shivers uncomfortably.
'I shall return when you have made up your mind.'
Nilan stands proudly and only nods
The spider scuttles across the ceiling, then down the wall, and out of the room.
Gbiran says 'I need to make a tinkered spider trap next time we come here'
Nilan paces slowly
Gbiran swats at the air frantically.
Dornax utters the words, 'vitality'
Gbiran clambers to his feet.
Gbiran opens the door.
Gbiran leaves south.
The door closes quietly.
Nilan looks at the dwarf, his hand shakes as he thrusts it into his cloak

'I'm beginning to believe you'd have made a better bard.'

Truly, though, it was a riveting performance given by all. Dornax should be played by Tom Cruise. That is all!

Well done. This story gives good
meaning to the bond between mortals
and ummmm...whatever that creature
of the dark was. Even deities need
followers; to carry out their mortal agenda.
Nilan's struggle with his alliances is something I plan to keep an eye on in the
future.
