VENTURES INTO THE REMOTE (RP)

"Heh, indeed I was. I have something that I need to get to Gondor. A letter to my family. I need this to get to them so they can at least know I am alive. I can't leave, but can you find a way to get this message to my parents?"
 
“Uh, Daugo, something's going on with your bud over there,” Galador whispered, nudging the hobbit.
[rule]
Shin muttered, “Thanks for being so useful, Osto,” as he continued to run after the superpowered individual, being careful of the gauntlet projectile’s flight.
[rule]
“Seems I'm a horrible father… I wouldn't let any son of mine have that atrocious taste in fashion.” Ha’zi pressed a palm to his head, sighing as he sat down to fully assess this.

So, he was a parent. Seems Iver was actually being logical for once when he had that rant about protection, Ha'zi thought with a sad smirk. Though, he did have some small suspicion it would still do no use… Oh well.

Beren and Laurel… He thought he recognized the first from one of Dimitri's tales, and Laurel… Hm… Now, what was that from? Ha'zi couldn't quite tell, though he did know that it was right at the edge of his memory. Despite this, he liked both names, especially that Beren one. Nice job on his future self there… or maybe that was what future Miriel chose.

Miriel… he flushed, thinking of her, which brought him a spike of anger in turn afterwards. What was going on with… No, he wouldn't let himself delve down that rabbit hole. He'd already been in it enough, the first few months after Mordor being some of the most miserable in his life. That is, until he really accepted being one with the rangers.

His stomach twisted. The rangers… damn. Ha'zi recalled the bloodfest in his vision, the misshapen monster devouring his comrades. He couldn't remember if any familiar races were among the slaughtered, but it didn't matter, really. They would die in the worst way possible, it seemed. While he did nothing…

“Keldar… how did I come to see the future through your mind?” Ha'zi asked, his hands tremoring.
 
Sigeric smiled. "My weapon?" He drew his shortsword, holding and looking at it for an unnerving amount of time. "I suppose you can have it. I do not see why I would need it, with the battle over and our mission complete." he said, gesturing towards the group of soldiers gathered by the Executioner's crystal. He tossed the blade at Mateus's feet. "Now, I'm going to check in on the Serpent. You captured him alive, did you not?" Sigeric asked, walking past Mateus while ignoring his belligerent stance. Meanwhile, Sigeric would attempt to delve into the ranger's mind, predicting his next actions.
 
Mateus readied himself as the Guardian drew his shortsword, unsure if he would actually comply to reason or if he would attempt to fight back, however to Mateus's satisfaction he threw the weapon away. Opening his mouth to give his next order he'd stop with the rambling of the man, what was he playing at? Did he really think they would view him as being innocent after a stunt like that? "What a dumbshit." He thought to himself as he went to walk past him, without hesitation Mateus would go to step forward and ram the spearhead through the thigh of the Guardian. Although it was an arrest, he never promised it would be clean or unharmful. After all, they had a new enemy of the realms.
 
Sigeric saw the stream of thoughts traveling through Mateus's mind as he prepared his next move. Did he just call him a dumbshit? How uncalled for. Speaking of uncalled for... Sigeric quickly lifted the leg that the spear was aimed towards, and brought it back down, stomping on the shaft of the spear just below the blade, and forcing it to the ground. "Attacking an unarmed man? How honorable of you." Sigeric would step off of the spear, turning to face Mateus once more. "Now, I am going to speak with the General. You can escort me there if it makes you feel more comfortable." Sigeric continued walking toward the area where he had noticed Belzagar giving orders. He continued reading Mateus's thoughts, ready to react if the agitated ranger attempted violence once more.
 
Daugo sighed, knowing that the situation could very easily escalate. "I'm going over there to see if I can smooth this out. Will you have my back if that brute tries anything funny?" he said, starting towards the scene of the arrest.
 
Mateus blinked in surprise as the Guardian countered the attack without even looking, how the hell? His thoughts drawer back to when the man had frozen anyone, it was done through his mind. Could it be? He wondered to himself. Going to test his theory he would go to do a flurry of attacks. Thinking of swinging to cut the leg then spinning around and aiming the end of the spear to hit the base of the spine. Yet his actions channeled differently, Mateus going to cut across the back of the man and then swinging the spear so the flat part of the blade hit Mateus's back and the end of the spear cracked against the head of the shifter.
 
Iver's speed allowed him to dodge a few swings before one of them caught him in the stomach, winding the Dalishman. The air was knocked out of his chest and for a moment his body seemed on the verge of collapse.

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

"Manwe really did a number on you," The Trickster muttered under his breath, yet of course, Vana heard it. "Remind me again who was it that allowed them to come into our home and raze it? Who was it that ordered a death sentence upon our daughter and I?"

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

The name of the Elemental Giant blew open with a fume of steam as Thoruk emerged from it. He felt the wetness of the air around him and saw the plateau around him, far off to the edges he could glimpse the city of Dale which had a downpour coming across it from the northwest. It seemed his water show had other effects...

It was quite an aesthetic sight. Beneath him, the dwarves clapped in awe and clamored with their trinkets and arms as they spotted their chosen warrior.

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

"I can try," Dina smiled and took the letter from Arandil, should he have offered it to her.

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

"Let's rescue Berethor and myself first. Once their safe, I'll do whatever you want, Card." Endo told him, taking ahold of Cardiloc's shoulder and waiting for the inevitable churning of his stomach that came with the Dunlending's flights through time and space.

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

Ostopher lined up his gauntlet as it began to pick up speed and aimed it at Berethor, "Got you."

Shin heard a click and a dozen bolts flew at the Armoured Shifter just as he turned a corner. Two of the bolts missed him but the last snagged his backside. A painful cry escaped the man but he ran into the alleyway.

"Corner him. Do not allow the prisoner to escape!" Ostopher yelled at his men who then marched forward and block the alleyway.

Meanwhile, Belzagar noticed the little quarry the Guardian Shifter and ranger were having, yet, rather than intervene he pretended as if he had not realized that and continued to admire the crystal. "I want her carted off this instant before any civilians return. Lock down the third level and clear a path to the Citadel." He told one of the officers present who took off at his behest.

Keratos watched Mateus engage the Guardian with confusion. What was he doing? He felt the little girl on his leg and craned his neck to glance at her. "Oh, are you scared?" He asked her.

Galador and Daugo both witnessed Mateus move in to assault Sigeric and the Dalishman pictured the ranger's movements identically to his mental train of thought, including the deceit and counterfeits that lay in that attack.

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

"Not my mind," Keldar intoned, "The memories of the Warrior Giant. You beheld certain memories through feedback with the inheritors of the Warrior Giant." He shrugged, "You saw what they will see. Whether it be through your eyes or the eyes of whoever inherits the Warrior Giant. Those memories are real. Though, who exactly owns those memories is unknown to me."

Thoruk would slide down the decaying body. "A little shower won't hurt 'em, aye" he'd say to himself. Looking out for the Chieftain, then walking towards him through the little rain-shower. It reminded him of the day when he met their little fellowship in Bree. A muddy and rainy day aswell. Some good feelings and some bad feelings came up, yet he made some friends, a good day it was.

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

Tamara would barely shake her head a bit, not even looking at Keratos, still starring down the others.
 
“‘Course, Daugo. It's my obligation.” Galador smirked, then noticed what was happening. “The hell is he doing to the Guardian…?” He asked, putting a few fingers on his hilt.
[Rule]
The racing Shin gladly registered the Armoured's cry, and tried to increase his velocity and catch the blasted shifter.
[Rule]
“That's… confusing,” Ha'zi says. “How exactly did you find about… all of this?”
 
Iver was knocked back by the hit and fell on the cold marble floor. "So this is the end" he thought to himself as he saw Dimitri and tali slowly getting their ass beaten. "I am gonna fucking die, alone surrounded by idiots" he thought to himself. Iver felt alone more than ever, even Vlad was nowhere to be found. But as he was about to give up, a certain memory came to his mind. A sentence, said by a feminine voice "I will be with you always", it was Shiva who said that. Iver wasn't alone, he had Shiva with him, and he made her a promise, a promise to release her, and he wasn't about breaking his promise. Iver tried to get up as fast as he could, asking in his mind "Shiva?".
[rule]
Vana ignored his mean comment, she did not care for that. However, a tear went down her cheek as the trickster mentioned the razing of her home and death of her daughter. "The only regret I have, is that Manwe didn't get to you before you corrupted my daughter. You destined her to death when you decided to join morgoth and then corrupt her." She said, not being able to look at his face.
[rule]
Radmir didn't have anything better to do, so he started walking, looking for a higher ranked officer to get new orders.
 
"Thank you." And for the first time that day he smiled.
"You don't know how much it means to me to find out about my family."
 
Daugo nodded gratefully and walked towards the two, a speech already forming in his mind. "Let's all calm down a bit," he began saying.
 
To Endo’s surprise, Cardiloc shrugged off his hand, turned to Endo. “I’ve probably used up too much energy, and I’m in no state to intervene, I mean look at me I look like an unwashed barbarian. We move out tonight, the battles likely over by now anyway. And I need a bath, you need to wash yourself as well Endo; you stink of death.” Cardiloc decided.
 
The Chieftan's eyes were widened as Thoruk approached him. "Oh Great Warrior, forgive my ignorance. Mahal did not bless me with such foresight-" He rambled apology after apology for questioning the dwarf's capabilities.

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

"Mmm," A smile appeared on Dina's face as she curled up in elation at Arandil's joy.

There was a moment of silence as she stared at him awkwardly after pocketing the note. Dina seemed to take a step towards Arandil and-

BOOOM. BOOOOOOOM.

Dina fell as the ground shook under the sound of...of no...Arandil remembered that dreaded sound. It was the sound he heard when the Armoured and Serpent appeared out of thin air at the rear of his regiment.

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

Iver heard no response. The guards were closing in and even as he slowed time, they rushed towards him. For a moment he had lost all hope.

"Iver,"

A horde of dark coils and black tendrils enveloped the Dalishman. Iver saw the closest eternal guard become consumed by the shadowy mass just before it covered over his eyes. He heard muffled screams, shouts, and other unearthly noises before the blackness slowly recoiled and absorbed back into his skin.

Before Iver were a mass of bodies, tangled into one another in the most grotesque manner possible. Legs were embedded in heads, arms went through chests, and so on. Blood pooled everywhere. One of the eternal guard's fingers twitched spasmodically through a moving eyeball.

What the fuck...

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

"Eru, you're so blind." The Trickster sighed, "I'm sorry, Vana. I truly am." He took a step away from her. "I'll end it all. So that you won't have to cry anymore, Vana."

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

"Bathsmath." Endo muttered. "Hurry up, I'll take a 'bath'." The man grumbled and walked up the staircase, peered through the door then after a moment, disappeared.

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

Radmir saw Keratos with the General. They were staring at a large block of ice...no was that...diamond?

As per usual, everyone seemed to be ignoring the Hobbit.

Shin sped around the corner and down the alleyway where he found the man removing an arrow from his right buttock. He tossed it on the ground then turned to see Shin. With a grimace, Berethor turned and ran, blood seeping out of the wound. Shin was only four meters behind him when he reached the end of the alleyway, jumped onto a box and leaped onto the dead-end wall, his hands gripping the top. He started to pullup.

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

"I don't know," Keldar thought to himself. "I suppose it's just a superstition. That and the fact someone gazed into my memories. Is it not far fetched to say that we could gaze back?" He posed the question to Ha'zi as they had their subconscious discussion.

"We must get the fuck out of here, I think that's clear enough. Got any bright ideas on where to go, because I remember those sounds. I know them all to well."
 
"There is no need to apology my brother." Thoruk would say, approaching him. "But there is something I'd need, since I'm about to travel for quite a while again. Do you have any goats left at your dispossal or any sort of battle wagon that could shorten my trip? It is of high necessarity." he'd say, breathing a bit. "Of course you can ask what you want to know about the 'giant-thingy' before I leave, but if you could provide me something I'd be more than thankfull." He'd nod towards the chieftain, looking out for his axes to pick them up.
 
"Yes, yes, of course. Anything you need." The Chieftan said. Behind Thoruk, dwarves rushed towards the Elemental's decomposing body, scooping samples of tissue up and marveling it.

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

"Uhh," Arandil failed to catch Dina and she landed on the ground with a slight thud. "Oww."

"Leave? You can't leave-" She quickly stood up and blocked Arandil's path of movement with her body.

"Miriel! It doesn't have to be this way! You can still surrender!"

Arandil heard a thundering voice. It was the first time he'd experienced the Screaming Giant's bellows.

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/Yiannis123/74.png" name="Yiannis123"]18199471[/user]
 
"Aye, thank you my friend." he'd say, laying his hand on the chieftains shoulder. "You're doing me a great favor, I'll not forget that." he'd take a little break, picking up hix axes, then looking at the dwarves rushing towards the giant body. "Is there anything more I can assist you with?" Thoruk would ask looking at his kin, rushing towards a dead body, a enjoyable sight.
 
"I suppose it's not too odd, being able to go both ways... This whole time thing going on in my life just confuses me nevertheless."
[rule]
"Scum, you're not getting away!" Quickly, Shin held back his short sword, then threw it forward with whatever energy he had left, aiming it right for the shifter's leggings to pin him.
[rule]
Having followed Daugo and noticing none were giving him satisfactory acknowledgement, Galador went to attract their attention
. "AHEM!" He said, stepping forward and clearing his throat loudly. Proceeding, "Hey, the Behemoth has something to say! Listen up!"
