20:18 <~anlarye> < Luc> "It still is. I misspoke. We......should stop and find the
20:18 <~anlarye>         Duke, if possible. Don't worry about being watched. I know we
20:18 <~anlarye>         are. The Duke is a member. One of the highest ranking."
20:18 <~anlarye> < Mirina> "Do you think he can help?"
20:18 <~anlarye> < Luc> "He can shape, form, and change almost anything into almost
20:18 <~anlarye>         anything else. He's a transmuter. Correction. He is THE
20:18 <~anlarye>         transmuter."
20:18 <~anlarye> < Riam> ::Takes a seat on a nearby rock:: "Why would he help us
20:18 <~anlarye>         then?"
20:18 <~anlarye> * Mirina looks at Luc appraisingly.  "All right then.  Let's go find
20:18 <~anlarye>          him...or see if HE finds US."
20:18 <~anlarye> < Luc> "Because of these." *flashes the bracers*
20:18 <~anlarye> < Mirina> "He's part of the Order, so he would help a fellow, yes?"
20:18 <~anlarye> < Luc> "He may. Remember that while we are Magicians, and members of
20:18 <~anlarye>         the Order, and we keep and hold an oath, we ARE still human.
20:18 <~anlarye>         Mostly."
20:18 <~anlarye> * Mirina freezes, her eyes going wide.  "Oh gods, no."
20:18 <~anlarye> < Riam> ::Locks his eyes on Mirina:: "What now?"
20:18 <~anlarye> < Luc> "We need to head towards a more central location. Now. Once
20:18 <~anlarye>         I figure out where we are, we can head for the Ducal Palace."
20:18 <~anlarye> * Mirina stays stock still for a minute.  "Our Anadari friend is
20:18 <~anlarye>          fallen."

20:21 < Riam> ::sighs:: "Fools and heros. Seems like they're one and the same now-a-days."
20:22 < Mirina> "He bought us time.  Let's not waste it."
20:22 < Riam> "We need to get someplace safe or we're likely to join him."
20:22 < Mirina> "Indeed."
20:22 < Luc> "Above all, considering the sacrifice, we should head for the Duke."
20:23 < Mirina> "So where the hell do we find him?"
20:25 < Luc> "The road should lead us to the palace." *looks around for signs of a road*
20:27 <~anlarye> *in the middle of the forests of southern Adan. led by a panic ride away from an invaders army ... there is no road to be seen
20:29 <~anlarye> *travelling in any direction other than south and west will take you further into Adan and presumed saftey*
20:29 < Riam> "I don't see a road mage, north-east looks good to me though."
20:29 < Luc> "North east it is then, until we find a road."
20:30 < Riam> ::Starts off jogging into the night in a north-east direction::
20:35  * Luc follows Riam quitely, looking around still.
20:35 <~anlarye> *within an hour of jogging and walking through the woods ... the trio comes upon a well travelled and maintained gravelled road*
20:35  * Mirina follows Luc and Ri'am, moving through the woods as quietly as possible.
20:39 < Riam> ::Slows to a stop on the edge of the road, out of sight, breathing hard. She pulls out a coin, it shimmers in the moonlight:: "Call it mage. Right of left."
20:41 < Luc> "Left."
20:42 < Riam> ::Looks to Luc for a moment gauging him, then pockets the coin and starts off left down the road::
20:42  * Mirina follows Ri'am.
20:44 <~anlarye> *the road is as wide as a carriage and a half of another. made up of fine stones*
20:46  * Luc continues down the road, looking more intently at the area around them as they travel.
20:47 <~anlarye> *the night air is fresh with a light breeze. the sounds of the road can be heard as the trio walks down it ... a crunching noise as they step on the stones
20:49 < Riam> ::As she is jogging:: "Anybody else getting tired of running from these invaders?"
20:49 < Mirina> "It is wearing, yes."
20:50 < Luc> "Slightly. Though I
20:50 < Luc> 'd rather be running and alive than fighting against an entire army and dead.
20:50 < Luc> "
20:51 < Riam> "If we could understand them, speak their language we might be able to infiltrate their ranks." ::Glances meaningfully at Luc::
20:54 <~anlarye> *the gravel road rises up infront of the trio ... pulling the small stones into itself taking on the shape of man ... 9 feet tall and nearly 3 feet wide*
20:55  * Mirina looks at the apparition in some alarm.
20:56 < Luc> ::A small flare ignites in Luc's hand, ready, before he speaks.:: "Who are you?"
20:57 < Riam> ::Runs off the road and into the bushes disappearing into the night::
20:57 < Luc> ::Glances meaningfully towards Riam after the bushes stop moving::
20:58 <~anlarye> *the creature has pin points of light in the place where eyes should be as it looks about of the 3 of them and watches Ri'am run into the woods
20:59 < Luc> "Speak for your master, creature, if you are sent by the Duke."
20:59  * Mirina waits to see what Luc will do before doing anything.
20:59 <~anlarye> *the creature seems to be looking towards the bushes for Ri'am than paying attention to the 2 on the road*
21:00 < Luc> "Come out here, girl. It won't answer until you do."
21:02 < Riam> ::Peeks out from behind a tree near to the bushes where she disappeared originally::
21:03 < Riam> "What does it care about a little girl. Speak your peace monster."
21:03 <~anlarye> *the creatures eyes glow brighter at the sight of Ri'am*
21:05 < Riam> ::walks slowly out, staying well away from the golem::
21:05 <~anlarye> *a voice comes from behind the 2 on the road* "It doesn't speak"
21:05 < Luc> ::Looksaround sharply::
21:06  * Mirina spins around abruptly.
21:06 <~anlarye> *a man, in chain armor rides on a horse, he is armed with a sword and shield strapped to the horse.*
21:06 <~anlarye> (( perception all ))
21:06 < Riam> ::ducks and takes a half stride toward the bushes before she stops::
21:07 < Mirina> !df 4
21:07 <@ChanServ> Result: ( )(+)(-)( )
21:07 < Luc> !df 4
21:07 <@ChanServ> Result: (-)(-)( )(-)
21:07 < Riam> !df 4
21:07 <@ChanServ> Result: ( )(+)( )( )
21:16 <~anlarye> *the rider looks at the 3 of them* "What business do you have here?"
21:17  * Mirina looks alarmed but waits for Luc to do something before she acts.
21:18 < Luc> ::Keeps eyes on the rider:: "We seek the Duke. We have business with him, as it were."
21:20 < Riam> ::Slowly moves to stand beside Mirina::
21:21 <~anlarye> *rider* "You had best be more specific. What is your business with the Duke or have you not heard that the Empire is at war."
21:21 < Riam> ::Whispers up Mirina:: "Look at the hooves."
21:22  * Mirina whispers to Ri'am.  "I see them."
21:23 < Luc> "We seek assistance, soon after an ally, and a shelter of the order was overrun and destroyed by invaders. Bracers taken from the invaders seem to inhibit magic in all forms at the will of the wearer." ::Flashes the bracers::
21:26 <~anlarye> *the rider looks at the bracers* "Continue down the road" *he says with a gesture towards the creature*
21:28 < Luc> ::nods towards the direction and then at the rider, then continues walking::
21:28 < Riam> ::Continues walking, tugging at Mirina's trouser leg to follow::
21:29  * Mirina walks down the road with Luc and Ri'am.
21:31 <~anlarye> *as the trio turn back to the stone creature on the road and walk towards it ... the beast falls apart back into the road stiring up a bit of dust*
21:33 <~anlarye> *just over the next hill of the road, the trio can see the lights of the ducal palace in the distance, lights burning in many rooms of the large palace that must be hundreds of yards across*
21:35 < Luc> "Ladies, the Ducal Palace."
21:35  * Mirina makes an odd noise that might be something like a sigh of relief.
21:38 < Riam> "Oh yeah, the army will never find us here."
21:39 < Mirina> "I expect this place is well protected."
21:39 <~anlarye> *even at this distance one can see that the palace is a hub of activity well into the night*
21:40 < Luc> "More so than you can imagine. Stick to the road. You don't want to step into the grass."
21:42 < Riam> "good to know. How well will all this nifty magical defense do against an army that nullifies magic as it goes?"
21:43 < Riam> ::moves off down the road::
21:44 < Mirina> "I think that's where the bracers come in."
21:45 <~anlarye> *within 10 steps further down the road, the trio finds themselves suddenly at the gates of the palace grounds. flags and banners fly from the towers overhead. the imperial flag, Adan's flag and the bannder of the Dukes of Stonemont bearing their arms*
21:46 < Riam> ??are they open??
21:47 < Luc> "You were saying?"
21:49 <~anlarye> *the gates are closed at the time the trio arrives but open as they approach*
21:51 <~anlarye> *within the gates the road turns to cobblestone and a man walks up to them from the palace now less than 100 yards away. as he approaches he is dressed sharply. obviously an attendent to the Ducal household*
21:53 < Luc> "Sir. We seek the Duke. He needs to see these if he hasn't already." ::Bows and flashes the bracers::
21:55 <~anlarye> *he looks at the 3* "His Grace has been expecting you. Come this way your apartments have been readied"
21:56  * Mirina looks a little taken aback, but follows the attendant.
21:57 < Riam> ::follows the man::
21:59 < Luc> ::Follows the man as well::
22:01 <~anlarye> *the attendant leads the group into the palace, through the main hall. the Dukes of stonemont are wealthy indeed. fine cut marbles are everywhere. the celings are vaulted. tapestries and paintings, and other works of art and craftsmanship are everywhere*
22:05 <~anlarye> *there are other people that pass by while the attendent takes you to your destination. and opens a door to good sized room. very much like the common room at the cottage*
22:07 <~anlarye> "this is your apartments. each of you have your own private rooms with baths. and you share this common area. it is late. relax and refresh yourselves. his grace will see you in the morning."
22:07 <~anlarye> *he parts closing the door behind him leaving the trio in the common room together*
