Of Beasts and Knights

Thorgar links his mind to hers. ~Think it, and i stop the pain. You need only think the words.~

Zyleena: "Come now catherine."

Vorstan: "No Aneh, for sure." (ah-neh)

*no reply yet*

Catherine: what?

Rosa: probably.

Thorgar: *mental equivalent of a shake on the shoulder* ~Say the words.~

Zyleena: "Do take at least one of my complements."

Vorstan: "What i would give..."

*she seems to be passing out*

Catherine: hm.

Rosa shrugs

Thorgar: "She isn't going to break."

Zyleena: "Please cheri?"

Vorstan: "its my home's drink."

Morkar: she strong.

Catherine just sighs and fires another shot.

Rosa: right.

Thorgar: "Too strong."

Zyleena: "You're no fun." *She fires another shot also*

Vorstan: *Walking towards the tavern* "Brewed from the milk of a kelapa."

Morkar nods.

Catherine just nods.

Rosa: kelapa?

Vorstan: "Its about the size of your head, with a hard brown shell, and white flesh and milky water inside"

Thorgar: *He draws his sword.* "Skulls for the throne." *and beheads her*

Zyleena: "Why not?"

Rosa: right.

Morkar just watches quietly.

Catherine shrugs

Vorstan: "They don't grow here. too cold i expect."

Thorgar: "Heigen, you know what to do." *he walks out of the cave*

*well, this is going nowhere*

Rosa: hm.

Morkar follows Thorgar

*for now correct*

*Vorstan pushes open the tavern door, and wanders inside. the door swings wide, and takes a while to start closing again* 

*Thorgar stands at the lip of the cave*

Rosa keeps up with him

Morkar stands beside him

Thorgar: "...."

*the hubbub dies as they enter the room.*

Morkar: I spread word to bestigors. They rever you for this.

Rosa looks around at everyone else

Thorgar: "Hmn"

*There's quite a few marauders, dressed like thorgar in chain, leather and furs, and one warrior sitting in the corner.*

Morkar turns to look at him "Something wrong?"

*she gauges how they're looking at her, if at all, before following thorgar*

"She didn't break. The torture was pointless." 

*They're mostly looking at vorstan, with a mixture of fear and respect. the few who look at her seem more... wary.*

Morkar: she strong. 

she decides to stay very close to vorstan as she follows him

"Too much, she had help" 

*He walks past the marauders, not even acknowledging them, past the bar, and into the back*

Morkar: maybe.

she stays close to him

"From the lady perhaps..."

*He closes the door to the back room behind them*

Morkar: perhaps.

Rosa: what's back here then?

"I don't like that idea." 

Vorstan: "Lots of alcohol."

Morkar just nods

Rosa: ah.

Vorstan: "Whats your choice? Wine?...... Its mostly wine."

"This spirit you spoke of."

Morkar: shaabhekh. the Soul-killer. Humans call it 'Green Knight'

Rosa: I don't remember what half of it tastes like so...eh, sure.

*Vorstan hands her a bottle.*

Thorgar: "Hmn... I'll have to look into it more."

she takes it and removes the cork.

Morkar: Many think he not real. Have seen him myself.

*He uncorks another* "To victory, i suppose."

Thorgar: "You appear to still be alive."

she toasts him

Morkar: I escaped. Was young. Knew he would kill me if I stayed.

*Thought.* "Lets go somewhere else actually.."

Thorgar: "Interesting..."

Rosa: where?

Morkar: mm.

"anywhere thats slightly less public" *He taps his helmet with a finger*

*at this point, heigen returns, with a liberal coating of blood.* "No more shrine to false gods."

Rosa: let's find somewhere then.

Morkar turns to him

Thorgar: "Perfect, the gods smile im sure."

Vorstan: "Theres no reason to be afraid of them by the way, you looked terrified."

Morkar: aye. They do.

Rosa: of who?

Vorstan: "The rest of the warband." *reaching for the doorhandle.*

Thorgar: "Now back to the city. And hope it hasnt burned down in my absence."

Rosa: scared? ha!

Morkar nods quietly at that.

Vorstan: "You walked very close to me."

*walky*

Rosa: just in case.

*yeeeaaaa*

Vorstan: *he chuckles a little, looks back, takes a second bottle, and opens the door.*

*aaaand its gonna take like, a day to get back*

*tis*

Rosa follows behind him

*vorstan wanders out, the chaos warrior who nodded to him, has passed out completely in the corner.*

rosa follows after him

*Upon leaving the door* "So... where to."

"No idea. not familiar with this place."

*he shrugs* "Just wander into a house."

"Spose so"

"None of them will be inhabited."
