Nathrangking Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 "I vote for a quick and quiet infiltration. One must be cautious when a battle is being fought on the enemies terms." 37 minutes ago, Vapor said: Vapor looks down at Rish. "I stopped it!" she calls excitedly. Rish looks up silently. There is nothing in her eyes. Neither pleasure nor disappointment. The cup remains empty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, they don't know what locks are. "Locks have a trigger. This one - " Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: Fadran doesn't hesitate. He slaps Martin in the face. Martin cuts off as Fadran's hand collides with his cheek. It hurts. Quite a bit. And then, a familiar numbness settles over a corner of his mind. "Thank you," he says. His voice is different, smoother. Blanker. The rapier is free, then. "What do you need me to do?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herate looked closely at Martin, looking for any difference in how he looks. She can't see any, so she nods. An inferior version of Essence Marks, then. Except it is kept in your mind, which could be an advantage.

Would you like me to scout ahead of the group?" Martin lets the rapier's voice overtake his own, letting himself sink a bit. It will be a while before he can come back, so he might as well rest.

It's a system based on trust, not subjugation." Ayia returned, hopping off her Line, expression more serious than it was usually. "I didn't see him in either, but the lighting wasn't great.

Rish takes a step forward and the cup in Vapor's hands explodes in a burst of power. "Such power and promise. Yet you were too foolish to follow even simple instructions. How will you ever learn." The waters melt, rear up as a lion and slam into Vapor. "If you will not learn the easy way you will learn the hard way." "We are hidden for now. I have bent the light of day around us.
