**Tyranic Marta**

(I see you have all pressed on in the story since i was last awake)

(Rab) The body is still there, the cause of death quite apparent a large multi pointed throwing star sticking out of the back of his head, and the front of his face caved in from contact with the cobbles.

(Tallon) The message writhes and fades seemingly burn off the stone of the fortress, you look around to other walls and see them covered in more of the writing

(Ranun, Eagle) Marta looks at Rarora shrewdly, "Deal, but when you say access to the walls??"

**Tyranic Marta**

(ohmygosh i just realised that the high elf Noccy was reffering to like 4 pages ago was you Tallon, sigh,) ok just as you are walking to the walls the door behind you opens and the Librarian calls to you, "You wanted entry?"

you nod and enter to see a Dark elf in robes at the far end of the room, seeminly intent on something in the wall

**Tyranic Marta**

(Proto) (did you read it?? either way you can head off)

**EagleArk**

I feel safer when i can look in the distance, to see for myself if i am truly safe.

**nocturne's wrath**

(OMG MARTA WHAT DO I FETHING FIND IN THE VAULT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

**Tyranic Marta**

(eagle) Marta nods, "It is the same with us all"

(noccy) You open the vault and move into its reccessed confines, the walls themselfs are made of the same white marble as the rest of the fortress but grooves have been ground out of the stone to allow for gold to be hammered in viens along the surface of the stone, wooden chests bound in gold line the walls and racks of weapons stand in the corners, in the center is a strangley ornate sword, you recognise it immediatly, it is the blade of secrets, the twin of which, the blade of truth, has been lost to some private collector, but this weapon is an assassins best friend, the graceful handsword made of beaten white gold enchanted to never dull or dent or break is inlayed with lines of what the blacksmiths call "Black fire" liquid enchanted obsidian that bonds to the metal it is cast with but never sets.

**Rabtorian**

I take the throwing star and clean the blood off. Time to pay a visit to the Blacksmith.

**Tyranic Marta**

It takes a while to find oyur war but you eventually get to the blacksmith

**Rabtorian**

I get him to analyse the make of the weapon, the material, etc.

**Tyranic Marta**

He has a look at it and grimaces, "Its made of simple iron but its well balanced, theres no makers mark but the curves of the points suggest this would be silent if thrown, i dont know how to identify whos this would have been without a makers mark, and if i diddnt know better i would say it was mine, the workmanship is similar

**Rabtorian**

I thank him and wait until nightfall. I then break in as silently as possible and look around going upstairs etc. being careful not to wake anyone.

**Tyranic Marta**

you find nothing that would point to the blacksmith being involved

**prototype_X**

i have not read it what does it say?

**Tyranic Marta**

erm well your search more or less should start on the route to the city of phobos

**prototype_X**

i g start on the route to phobos but noy t without better deamon killing weapons

**Tyranic Marta**

you get your weapons blessed by a cleric before you head out

(your free to control encounters until we get thr and indeed how long it is till you find her)

**prototype_X**

ooc can there be trolls in this?

ic if there is i jorney before stumbling on a trio of trolls

if not then i encounter some men inste4ad

**Tyranic Marta**

hmmm, no trolls became extinct along time ago, but Orcs are close

**RaptorsTalon**

As I finaly manage to gain entrance to the libary, I make a mental note to come back and examine some more of these strange words.

Once i'm inside, I walk over to the librarian and ask him whether they have any books on magic or incantations, particularly anything very old. As he leads me towards a dark corner of the libary, next to a shelf stacked with very old books, I keep an eye on the dark elf. He soon leaves though, and I can continue with my search.

After a while, the librarian returns and asks me if I have found anything of use. A look at him and say, "Yes, I have. in this book I have found many spells of ancient power but only some of them are still legable" He nods and turns away. I continue reading, making note of all the spells I can use....

**Tyranic Marta**

many of the spells found are so aincient in origion that their meaning has become obselete or confused with the passing of time, one however stands out as useful and useable, as the spells that are still legible are generally far more powerful than a mage could hope to control on his own, it would need a coven of ancient sorcerors to cast the spells, let alone control them

the spell you manage to find is an arcane spell

which i wil pm to you....

**Rabtorian**

I say meh and decide to forget it and go hunting whilst waiting for the town crier to get a simpler merc job.

**Tyranic Marta**

lols you dont care about ur former employer?? epic

anyhoo

you hunt for a time and improve your skills testing and refining the new trap weapons until a passing caster finally offers to make the trip wire magical and ethereal

now the weapons trip wire automatically senses movement in its field

and aditionally it automatically goes until it hits an obstruction regardless of distance, but be careful if your putting it in open terrain, the results could be amusing

the crier gets a simple kill-pay job through for the required cleasing of a bandit group of orcs outside the city walls.

**Rabtorian**

I go out to lure them into a trap. I place some gold in a clearing near, but not too near, their base of operations. I then set up hidden snares and then set up a cross fire with my tripwire tracks, which are disguised, and myself, dug into a pit and with plenty of food. I then wait for the Orc gang.

**RaptorsTalon**

I go out into the town and find a place to advertise a job. I try to recruit warriors, alchemists and mage to join my party. I am going to gather this group and go out into the northen mountains to search for magical knowledge as well as treasure and, prehaps, even a magical steed such as a pegasus or even a dragon...

(Thank you)
I search for a trap mechanism under the sword.
[To the quarter master. Milord i have found the sword of secrets
. The lord has said that i could keep everything that was inside this vault but i now ask if i could keep this artifact to.]

**nocturne's wrath**

(Oh and raptor you couldn't see me i was lightbended and i entered an hidden room before you entered ythe library.)

**EagleArk**

ooc: marta, you said you would give me my skills?...

Edon Garaklore
I put forward my services as a scout for your party, once i have had time to restock and repair my equipment.

**RaptorsTalon**

EagleArk, I thank you for accepting my offer and I look forward to working with you.

While I wait for more replies, I visit the local blacksmith. I purchase from him a well made silver dagger and a scabard which I fasten under my robes. Next, I visit the town jewlers and buy myself an enchanted jewel of protection to ward off the dangers I will undoubtedly encounter. After I finished at the jewlers I finish my little shopping trip with a visit to the town cartographer to purchase a map of the northen mountains.

**EagleArk**

ooc: i assume i have a place to stay in the city?

Visiting my room i make sure that the small chest at the foot of the bed is strong and the lock working and in good condition, i remove my chest plate and rifle placing them in the box. Locking it i turn to the the door and begin to walk towards it. My small bag of coins clutched tightly in my hand. I intend to see what the local blacksmith is selling, and to take advantade of the beer i was entitled to.

**RaptorsTalon**

After my shopping trip, I return to my house to prepare for my quest...

(I assume I have a house)
