((Here it Goes eveyone, jump right on in.))


Hennet was walking around in circles in the border forest trying to find a way out. "Find a road he said, follow the map he said. That guy probably sold me a fake map anyway." Hennet came to a large oak and noticed claw marks in it, he had left them over four hours ago. "O COME ON!, am I just going around in circles." He sat against the tree trying to think of a way he could somehow find his way to the human side. Something snapped a twig behind him. Qucikly getting up he set off his polymorph and changed into a large pure black panther keirdan with bright yellow eyes. Ready either to defend himself or run for it. He started a couple of spell to make sure he had the first go at anyone that would jump at him as he called out {Who's there?, show yourself.}

<Whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this? A panther kiedran barking upon me? I should probably go around it, it might be infected with something.> Argus jumped out, not understanding what the hell the keidran was saying. He stopped and thought about what he said. <drat, I am sounding more and more like a human everyday. I should really stop learning about human culture and being around humans so much.> he sighed and shrugged. <I guess this is my consequence for being a hunter.> He slithered in a half of sphere around Hennet and walk forward.

((yay it has finaly came out, And why is my posts seem to be in italics?))

Hennet looked all around him trying to listen for more steps, speaking human since Keidran wasn't getting any response he called out again. "I know you're there, come out where I can see you." Still looking ahead of himself he thought it best to run and if anyone were to chase him he would have some distance. Turning around he ran for it and as he ducked through the under growth he tripped and went flying and seeing Argus right before he collied head first into him.

The sound was not lost on another in the forest. Stalking silently, another bastian slowly and stealthily made her way toward the disturbance. She saw a panther collide with a fellow bastian, and her natural pride flared at such indignity for her people. Leaping from the tree to land about three feet from the sprawled duo, she held her scythe at the ready.

Malaki walked slowly through the forest, reflecting on the beauty surrounding him and recent events.
That shopkeeper sure was nice, especially considering how I helped him out. It's a relief to see someone who doesn't hate me instantly. And the mana stones he gave me sure are handy. I wish I wasn't so poor.

Malaki heard a crash, and some one shout out in his native tounge "Who's there? Show yourself." and then switch to the human tounge he only barely understood. The speaking was soon followed by a crash.

Someone might be hurt. Time to go.

Racing towards the sound, Malaki came upon a pather Keidran on top of a Bastian. He had a worried look on his face as he spoke.
"<Is anyone hurt? I can heal you.>" Wow, a Panther! I've never seen one of those before.

Looking around, he saw a Bastian woman standing with her sycthe at the ready.
"<ma'am, can you kindly move away? I just need to see if anyone is hurt.>"

After waking up from a hard blow to the back, he got up and saw what he had collided with him. He looked back to see what hit him, there he saw the panther he tried to avoid. <You stupid keidran,> Argus dusted himself off, and then looked angrily at the panther. <You are lucky you are not a human, or I would have ripped the spine out of your back.> he said. <But since you are a keidran, I let you up and hope that we both apologize for our mistake.>

Rick moved along the road at a quick pace, whistling when he heard some really loud noises ahead on the road. He quickly moved forward thinkign that it was someone getting attacked by a Keidran or something. He's never actually fought a Keidran. When he reached the disturbance, he saw an extremely rare black Panther Keidran sprawled on a Bastian who was slowly standing up, a Bastian holding a scythe, and a Keidran moving towards the people on the ground and saying some Keidran words he could barely understand,I wasn't given training to fight these many people!

Hennet was rubbing his head speking in an odd mix of human and keidran, "Ow, what the {hell}, what {did I hit}" Hennet looked up at the bastain and still on the ground backed away startled by the look of the warrior. "Were you {the one} sneaking {around?}" Then seeing several more people he became scared and started backed away. He realized that he couldn't understand a single thing that the bastian was saying.

ok, remember what dad said about being out numbered, look harmless The little panther keidran looked up at Argus and cocked his head sideways looking cute and confused. All Argus saw was a rather young keidran black panther all alone seeming completely confused and lost, wagging its long black tail, wearing human attire, with a small bump starting to form on its forehead.

{Hey, Max, sounds like a fight, up ahead. You wanna check it out?} asked Kheldar. Max nodded and loosened his sword in its sheath. Ducking his head down slightly, he accelerated to a run and rounded the bend about two hundred meters away in about a minute. Several people were standing around and all seemed to have a weapon handy, {Who are you guys?} he asked

(for the record, I'll use {****} for keidran and "*****" for english)

(( This really is like D&D. Getting a party together is like trying to get post traumatic stess victims to engage in trust exircises))

Gwydion couldn’t pry his eyes away from the map he held.

It was unfortunate actually, if he had been paying more attention to actual landmarks, and less attention to the map, he might not have been so hopelessly lost. As it was, Gwydion was certain that there was a road somewhere in the vicinity, but all the trees looked so similar he couldn’t tell where it might actually be. He wasn’t desperate enough to use a mana crystal to perform a divination either. So for the time being, he had decided that aimless wandering would serve just as well.

It’s not like I’d be able to do anything at the Tomb anyway… Gwydion mused cantankerously. Still, he would have liked to at least have seen the damn thing.

He stopped in mid step suddenly, his left ear pricking up. There was noise in the distance. About 30 or 50 yards away, or so Gwydion estimated, there was some sort of commotion. With his Keidran hearing he could make out words, not only in Keidran or human, but in Bastian also. He blinked in confusion, Keidran, Human, and Bastian together in one place? Unprecedented. He didn’t hear any steel against steel either, so they couldn’t have been fighting. Gwydion rubbed his chin absently, wondering at the unique nature of such a situation. His curiosity getting the better of him, he set out towards the noise.

A few moments passed as Gwydion pushed his way through the dense foliage of the forest, and as he did the voices became more and more distinct. And Heated. Eventually however, He stepped out into a clearing.

He gulped. It was a clearing, from what he could only describe as nervous, and heavily armed people. He glanced around the group nervously, noticing the wide and fearful expressions on some of the members. Oh damn, what have I gotten myself into now? Gwydion thought.

He gave a weak smile, and said <Uhmmm… What exactly is happening here?> In Keidran. Than he repeated it in Bastian as well as he could (Mine Gentlefolk, what hast taken place upon these verdant premises?) and yet again in Human “Happenings what is in location? Yes?” To himself however, only one thing was going through his mind: This is going to end in fire.

He wasn’t to exited about his prediction though, to tell you the truth.

(I wish everyone would use Human as,"Bla" Keidran as,<Bah> And Bastian as,{Apple Cider})

Rick began to walk backward from the small cluster of people,Thank goodness none of them saw me...What the hell. He had accidentaly bumped into Max and obviously noticed he was a Keidran. And as he knows, Keidran normally do not take well to Templar.

Argus just looked blankly at Hennet. <what the hell is this guy saying?> saying to himself as if he was talking to someone. He then looked around and saw he was not alone. He even saw a another bastian, only with a gaint scythe. He walked up to the other bastian and bowed. <Finaly another bastian, I thought I would never see one out here. Hello I am Argus Ackland, hunter of the bastian. who might you be?>

Hennet starting to look around saw all of the others. He wasn't used to so many non-keidran around. Starting to get nervous he looked up at the other keidran he tried to stand but just havening hit something hard head on he didn't quite have his balance and landed back on his but with a rather loud "Nyaa" He looked back up at the two bastains and the wolf that seemed concerned. Rubbing the back of his head looking embarrassed. Looking up at Malaki he spoke like a kid would {Im ok, but I think I ticked this guy off a little} he said rubbing the small bump on his fore head that had begun to smart a little.

(Ok from what iv'e seen so far its like this, Human= "" , keidran= {}, and bastian= <> , just for the record. )

<My birthname is that of Zenith Moonraker, my enemies... the vile humans... know me as the Silver Demon.> She said, eyeng the others present, then noticed a human amongst them.

in Templar armor.

With a tribal yell of rage, she flew at him, swinging wildly at, where if Rick had delayed a second more, he would have been a head shorter.

<Vile being! Die!> She yelled, preparing for another strike.

Chase was taking cover behind a tree his crossbow raised to his shoulder. "Come on, come on. Just one more step." He breathed quietly to himself.
"O COME ON!"
"What was that?" he said, turning his head to the sudden sound. He stepped on a stick and the deer that was his prey immediately galloped away. "Damn it!" he cursed.
{Who's there?, show yourself.}
"That's strange. why would they speak in both languages? I think I'll go check this out."

He casually emerged from the trees and on to the path. The sight of Keidrans, Basitins, and Humans all in one place looking confused and concerned took him by surprise and he walked closer to see what was happening.

(Sorry to be tardy to the party)
