VENTURES INTO THE REMOTE (RP)

"Aye lad, I just need to cross the high pass, from then on I won't bother you any longer" the dwarf says while thinking "Elves are so dumb.. glad that we don't have to stay with them."
 
"Actually, I am afraid that is not the case." Sigeric said. "We seek the council of your kin in Rivendell, regarding important matters that cannot be disclosed at this time."
 
''Oh, my name is Henry, I'm a blacksmith's son and I must avenge my family that was killed by invading Easterlings.'' Deslan stated sarcastically. ''If I told you I was a maia in Aule's service, you wouldn't believe me. And if I told you that I was the bastard of some noble from a far away land, you wouldn't believe me either. Let's stick to one incredible story - and the one that is also the most urgent to resolve?''
 
"Actually I completely believe you," The elf said, shutting the book. "And it's pronounced, 'Carol-tie'. So, Dagor Dagorath is upon us? And if you were a Maia, you would know who I was and I would likely know who you were. And you, sir, are no Maia. You look to me like an amputated human with some sort of mechanisms. Quite crafty, I'll give you that but nothing like what the Maiar of Aule could do. So, tell me, what is your name? It surely isn't Henry? Mine is Maglor, son of Feanor, Lord of the Noldor in exile. At your service, Mr, um, noble bastard?" The elf stood, offering his hand to the shorter man. He had raven dark hair and was six foot three.

"Clear your camp and follow us." The elf stated, returning to the bushes and moving out towards the East Road. More rustling revealed the other elves watching them, follow after the lead one.

''Noble Bastard. That's my next horse's name.'' Deslan shook the elf's hand. ''Deslan, professional bounty hunter, burglar, smuggler and currently employed in Aule's halls.'' Deslan straightened himself.
''The plan is simple. This group of eight has to be stalled, enough for me to approach them and do my trick. Two important details: one, it has to be in open air... I think, and second, they must be held back non violently. We shouldn't give them any reason to... you know...'' Deslan mimed a giant's transformation in a goofy manner.

"Looks like we dont have anything better to do" Iver said and packed his things. Did he keep his wooden spear and rope that he got from the dream?
 
"I understand." Maglor said, "I shall rouse the garrison." And went about calling a couple of the guards from their posts.

"Elladan, son of Elrond." The elf bowed, respectfully before continuing on his path out of the clearing.

Once they had all gathered up their supplies, they were led by the elven escort to a ford, over it then to a spot between two large hills. Ahead of them was a small gate that appeared out of the forest with a dozen or so elves standing guard above the battlements. Upon seeing the contingent, the gates opened, allowing them through.

Their eyes fell upon Rivendell, the hidden valley, in all its splendor and magnificence. The city was woven into the hills and above rivers which flowed beneath. Waterfalls cascaded from the hills and into the rivers creating a continuous torrent and as they passed underneath the cliff face on their way to the city, some of the water splashed onto them and cooled their warm bodies. A bridge lead them over to the majestic city of the elves and ahead of them was a gathering. Fifty elves stood many armored and bearing weapons. It was an unusual shock. After such natural beauty to see this- an armoured column ahead of them.

And at it's head they saw what appeared to be half-human, half-robot. A familiar face they hadn't seen in a long time with additional prosthetic limbs.

Deslan.

"When you went missing, i never thought you will get all the way here and leave us behind" Iver said to deslan

Sigeric was busy admiring the beauty of the Elven city when his thoughts were interrupted by the armored column.
He hesitated, a look of concern on his face. Obviously, the Elves had been expecting them. His wariness intensified when he noticed a familiar figure at the head of the column. At this point, Sigeric had many questions. He dismounted, and approached the gathering, stopping within fifty feet. "Deslan! I had assumed that you had perished. You appear to have fewer appendages than before, but it is clear that I was mistaken." Sigeric glanced at the armored column. Clearly, they were not present just for show. How had the Elves anticipated their arrival?
 
''Yeah, yeah, it's not like you guys ever looked for me or anything.'' Deslan said to Sigeric. He then answered to Iver: ''I used a little cheat... which I'm going to use again.''
Deslan raised his mechanical arm and a cannon popped out. A puff of smoke and something was shot upwards in the sky. It was like a firework, but it kept glowing and releasing red smoke instead of exploding.
A flare, Aule called it.

"ahhhhh........ Isnt Aule one of those valar dudes that are friend with that one guy who wanted to smite us to death?" Iver asked with a scared voice. "Deslan you are not calling those valar and maiar dudes to come here and kill us..... Right?" Iver asked him even though he knew he couldnt trust his answer.
 
The flare blazed in the sky and fluttered about dying in the midday haze. Nothing happened for a few seconds.

"What do we do? Should we expect something or-?" Maglor asked.

Elladan was quite confused. "What is happening here? And who is that?" He pointed at Deslan.

Something had gone wrong. Or so it seemed.

"I have a bad feeling about this..." Sigeric muttered, as he watched the flare fly ever higher into the sky. Then it clicked. They were fleeing from the Valar. Who were those most devoted to the Valar in Middle-Earth? The Elves. They had made a terrible mistake coming here. Sigeric turned around, and walked back towards his horse. "We need to leave. Now." He said to the group.
 
Ha'zi whispered to the group, "Psst, who's this guy again? I forget, he seems familiar though." After the flare went off and Sigeric's sudden command, Ha'zi just stood by, confused, "What? Why?"
 
"ahhhhh........ Isnt Aule one of those valar dudes that are friend with that one guy who wanted to smite us to death?" Iver asked with a scared voice. "Deslan you are not calling those valar and maiar dudes to come here and kill us..... Right?" Iver asked him even though he knew he couldnt trust his answer.
((That was a narrative statement, you don't know it's Aule's flare. You don't even know what a flare is))
 
''I mean, it's not immediate. Just wait a while.'' Deslan said. He spoke to the group. ''Stay right there, it's totally cool! Nothing bad's gonna happen... I think! You're not gonna get killed, I'm sure of that... kinda.'' He motioned Elladan to walk closer, to warn him of the magical giant shifters in front of him and to be ready for anything.
