VENTURES INTO THE REMOTE (RP)

Arandil had remained quiet. He was just drinking and eating a life time of bad memories away. But from the moment he heard that name again... "Joplin".. he remained still. He didn't eat or drink after that.
All he would do ,was remember the devastation that bastard brought upon his regiment.. and the wild goose chase of retarded proportions that ensued with him after. Both haunting memories to the Gondorian.
 
That looked horrible, Card noted. Upon further inspection he realised it was the armoured, he guessed the screaming giant was to the north east. Yet that led Glorfindel and the Snake unaccounted for. He glanced up at the riders, and hesitantly called out. "Hello?"

"I doubt he'll be alive." Miriel smiled a bit.

"I did nothing of the sort," Lasser stated plainly in the face of Thoruk's anger. Equas leaned back in his chair slightly.

"The one who started this was Morgoth. My kin should not be held accountable for the actions that were forced upon them. The 'armoured piece of orc shit' ya speak of was given a task. Execute it or see his life ended. What would ya do if Morgoth captured yar family? Yar friends? You either kill or be given no reason ta live. And as far as I'm concerned, from what Miriel told me, aren't ya the ones who unleashed Morgoth? So if ya want to be angry at anyone-" He turned to Thoruk, "It should be yarself."

The riders were too far away and did not seem to hear him.

However, his shout had been heard by someone else. The Armoured Giant's eyes opened and it began to rise.

Ha'zi heard something. What sounded like a shout followed by movement. The blackened giant was starting to get up.

Sigeric also noticed something. Two figures appeared at the northern edge of the forest. A duo of men supporting one another. The one with brown hair was wet and the other dark-haired fellow seemed to be limping. The Leviathan was walking in their direction.

"Maybe, i mean the guy is swimming in hate and i doubt it will change. Anyways, what did you think about doing next? i mean hunting and gathering is nice and all, but what will you do when either Morgoth or Gondor will come after you?"
 
"Fine thing ya know.. but i was actually the only one who didn't want to give his blood back then. the others just took my blood when I wasn't looking for a short moment. I mean you can trust my word or not, but I'm not the cause of this since I didn't agree on giving my blood to open this gate..." Thoruk would say, leaning back, making a slight grin before turning into a stone-cold face again. "About the whole captured your family thing ya telling there. My father has gone missing and the guards of our homecity were found knocked out. And to be honest, I don't trust anybody at this point. Not you, neither the gondorians and not even the other shifters. The only 2 persons I trust to a slight degree are the two lads that're here with me, ya know? So if ya wanna tell me anything about who's fault it was, do as you please. How ever the outcome of this will be, I'll be going north next, preparing my kin for the upcoming battle and find my father. I might be the only dwarf with the abilities of a shifter, but none should say dwarves would hide in their holes like cowards, we will fight against Morgoth, if needed to the last, I don't know what you consider doing if not joining us, but let's be realistic lad, your best chances to survive all of this is joining us and defeating Morgoth. He will crush your families after he's done with us and you know that as good as me. So decide wisely lad, die as heroes or die as cowards." Thoruk would say looking at him.
 
Hering would hesitantly sit down, he had so many questions but couldn't hear any answers. Perhaps he was deaf, that would be something they could write about. The deaf archer of Gondor! Silly yet something worth possibly reading. He looked round once more and said, in an actual attempt to speak in a normal voice "We were fools to trust the elf."
 
With this much power from Teli practically crushing him, Dimitri couldn't help releasing a hoarse cry. In retaliation, he turned both of his legs into metals and tried to knee his Lord's Son, all the while exerting all he could into his already steel fist.
--------------------
Ha'zi sighed, and curled both hands into fists. The vision came true. They had failed. The Leviathan...He swore to himself, infuriated. He should have told them about this! Could have prevented so many deaths! Why didn't he? Why did this have to happen...? Ha'zi looked at the burnt Armoured in a hateful gaze. These prototypes... always doing so much harm. He could recall that one by the name of... by the name of "Tytus" explaining that they had no choice. That Morgoth controlled and threatened them. But then... why did they do this?! He was temporarily distracted by his malicious, confused and enraged thoughts when he heard a shout. Curious as to if it was another of those shifters, Ha'zi turned in the direction of it.
 
Sigeric took in the situation. Who were the two figures at the edge of the crater? That blackened giant that was beginning to rise from the ground was so scorched that he could barely identify it. Yet there was only one giant who could endure such a blast. Sigeric noticed the Leviathan begin to walk towards the two figures. Other protos? Either way, he could tell this this situation was a disaster waiting to happen, even if one had happened already. He reached out towards Marco's mind with his telepathy. Could Sigeric communicate with someone who did not also have the ability? It was worth a try. "Marco! Can you hear me?"
 
"Ya know we would've until yar lot started hunting ours." Lasser countered Thoruk's entire statement.

"After we destroy Gondor, we'll take on Morgoth. Could use some help?" Miriel asked Iver, smiling.

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/assassiniv/74.png" name="assassiniv"]14628767[/user]

"Huh?" Someone muttered.

The men began looking at Hering. Some confused. Others leaning in to listen. Someone mouthed something. It was clearly some sort of question.

Telimekhtar's hand released Dimitri's as he was pushed and kicked back.

------

The Armoured stood up just as Cardiloc slipped behind its feet. It looked up at the Leviathan and glanced at the line of riders beyond its humungous legs.

Ha'zi and the Armoured's eyes met. It grunted.

As Sigeric tapped into the mind of that gargantuan beast a single line repeated over and over.

"Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill." It went on and on and Sigeric found himself becoming compelled by that voice. It wasn't Marco's voice. It was someone-

"BERETHOR!" The same voice shouted from across the clearing. "LET'S FINISH THIS!" Tytus yelled to the Armoured Giant.

Hering couldn't hear what the man said, but he continued on talking. "We should of known that the plan would fail. We knew of their healing capabilities and how strong they are. You all heard what happened in Dale and Mordor. Only one giant transformed and look at all the damage it did. We should of just blown them to bits, not followed the way the elf wanted to do it. I don't care where his alligence lays, but if I have to put my blame on anyone it's him. He struck the blow, he started this." He'd mumble.
 
Iver sighed "Not that i hold anything in favor of Gondor with their 'superior Numenorean blood' and shit, their ego is way too big. Yet, do you really want all of that blood on your hands? The king of Gondor is a reasonable person and i believe that he will listen to what you guys have to say, maybe they kidnapped Mercedess to force you into negotiation, i mean we cant know for sure until Tytus return. Give it a thought will you? Shouldnt you let the past go and unite against the common enemy? 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'" Iver replied quoting his brother in the process his brother.
 
"No you fucking don't." Card thought, he'd then try to climb up the armoured giants leg, onto his back. Using possible chinks in his blackened armour to do so.
 
"Bastard." He muttered upon making eye contact with it. Ha'zi then drew his bastard sword as he heard shrieking- no- high-pitched yelling nearby, and he turned to face it.
------------
Dimitri took advantage of Telimekhtar's stunned backstep to lunge forward, swinging his steel fist at him.
 
A few men turned away from Hering, but some nodded their heads and a few shrugged. Someone said something and one of the rangers hit his comrade. It was clear their was division. Discord was rank amongst them. The blame it seemed did not fall on a single one.

"I was merely joking, Iver. But since you're serious, I have to say this. I will not aide someone who has my family. And Tytus wanted to do things diplomatically. That's why he, Berethor, Even and Taras went. If it had been me...the discussion would've gone differently. There wouldn't be a discussion. Just bodies. And blood. But noo. Tytus wants to be some sort of peacemaker. So why not? If this all works out...there won't be any blood. I pray that Mirecyla and Endo are returned to us without any strings and maybe we can talk about fighting alongside after that."

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/assassiniv/74.png" name="assassiniv"]14628767[/user]

-------------

The fist missed Telimekhtar as he fell back and grabbed onto Dimitri's arm, twisting it.

Cardiloc found the climb difficult. Would this even be a good idea?

The Armoured began to move. Too late. If he dropped off now he might be crushed. Or worse.

Ha'zi saw the shouting coming from two fellows which were directly in the path of the Leviathan. One seemed to be shouting orders at the Armoured whilst the other held onto him.

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/UnusualBrit/74.png" name="UnusualBrit"]12700073[/user] [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/9842Kye/74.png" name="9842Kye"]16315828[/user]
 
Cardiloc held onto his leg, he needed to get off though, he jumped off to whatever side was not between the armoured giants legs, when the armoured giant put the leg he was on down..
 
"I hope so as well, every ally you have is one less enemy" Iver said, although he hoped they will return in one piece for the sake of gondor rather than the sake of the protos.
 
"If he hadn't missed our men wouldn't be dead. Tildir and Pethon killed. Erchirion injured. Minas Tirith is luckily intact but imagine what it could of been." He'd stand up "How many of you came with Glorfinel to capture one of the proto shifters? Those who came all saw and felt what it did to us. The man turned one of out own into a giant and disrupted our ranks. I won't commit treason but fuck it with this plan. We've made enemies, imagine what happens when they come to kill."
 
Feeling himself beginning to be driven towards bloodlust by the voice, Sigeric quickly severed the mental connection. He recognized that voice. Tytus. The Screaming Shifter seemed to be influencing Marco somehow. But why would he compel the Leviathan to attack him? Nonetheless, it was clear that Tytus was the key to defusing this. Sigeric addressed Helvion. "Take your men and keep that scorched giant distracted. Stay out of its reach, and avoid the Leviathan as well. Don't throw away your lives. Ha'zi, you're with me." Sigeric spurred his horse forward, moving towards Tytus and Evenis. He shouted across the clearing. "Tytus! This doesn't have to end in bloodshed!" He had not yet drawn his weapon.
 
Ha'zi nodded and rode along with Sigeric, also awkwardly sheathing his weapon once the Dalishman spoke of avoiding bloodshed. His attention is focused on Tytus and Evenis as they ride forward and he places a hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to pull it out in case the shifter duo do anything... shifty.
----------------
He grunts and groans as his arm is pulled. Fearing that Teli would rip his arm out of its socket, and not at all doubting that he could, Dimitri releases an exasperated cry as he lets loose a steel kick towards the Vala, hoping it would be enough to knock him off.
