[Game Thread] Act 1: Subplot: Martigan

[Evil Pie]

night watch Martigan grabs a few of the more naughty books that don't involve gore and tosses them into his pack. he checks the books wondering if this man was the author of the books. He takes the writing material and fallows raph outside, after a few hour and Feldt comes out Martigan heads back inside and finds a nice little corner of the room, removes his gear and lays out his bedroll using his cloak as his blank it like he has done so many times before. Sleep overtakes him and his dreams are of continued battle with the undead, falling to their attacks and becoming one of them. He stirs a bit with grunts and groans as his stomach turns .

after 2 hours of sleeping 5 hours since people went to sleep. Martigan wakes in a cold sweat and a muffles gasp as he inhales his cloak that covers his face. He calms himself and after a few moments he begins getting his gear together. Martigan goes to one of the chests and tosses the undead head, and flask of ashes into it and takes his key. After gearing up and still a few hours before sunrise, Martigan goes outside and lights a fire. He searches for fallen branches and logs that the man might have stockpiled to feed the flames. As his fire grows he feels exceptionally good and begins to dance, he dances in the shadows the flames create as he stays at the end of their radiance. his movements become erratic at he moves with each flicker of the flames lapping at the air that feads them. He almost seems to become one with that shadows movements while he performs his routine. He feels in such high spirits but knows that it is not to last. For a few bream moments he had been generally happy with himself as he reverted back to the mind set of his simpler days. Out of breath he rests and studies the fire for a bit contemplation.

Martigan hears the other stir in the house and watch as they each file out one at a time shaking the sleep from their bones.
He fallows them to their destination and doesn't bother trying to try and find out where they are going since they seem to know the place better.

He does, however, keep a watchful eye about his surroundings listening, looking, and sniffing.
The thought of the Elf from the tavern pops in his head btu he shakes it away trying to focus on his surroundings.
He collects various items along the way, sticks, small rocks, and some patches of moss that he comes across.

OOC By my count, I think I've given you a description of everything you were looking for. Is this correct?

[Evil Pie]

Martigan walks away from the stairs a few feet looking at the pillars with great warriors on them and feels his chest where he knows he felt the huge chunk of metal slice into. No....... NOOOOOOOO! IT'S NOT MY TIME THIS ISN'T FAIR! Martigan Runs up to one of the pillars and begins punching the monolith of marble till specks of red begin to pock park the white slab with each punch.

Martigan gives the pillar a few more punches each one slower then the last, he falls to his knees and keeps his hands balled and hits the pillar again and again in a stabbing motion like a little girl trying to beat up her much older brother. His breath becomes heavier and heavier and then turn into small quick gasps. his eye well up, but not from the pain, The realization of what has happened and where he is, sinks deeper and deeper into his mind. His eyes burn with a warm heat as a single tear falls from his face, another, and another.
He sobs quietly to himself, his balled up hands on the pillar are the only thing keeping him from just collapsing on the floor.

A few moments pass and his sobbing subsides. Martigan pulls his hands free from the stained pillar and feels the blood try to keep him glued to it. His hands drop to his side, shaking from the pain and damage to the nerves as his adrenalin no longer flows through him.
Martigan stands and begins walking to the staircase slowly, then picks up more and more speed.

His sorrow turns to anger then into a full blown rage. Its not my time, I will not stand for this. I will get back even if I have to fight my way back I WILL NOT PASS ON! Though they are in great pain, he balls his fists and heads up the stairs with great speed ready to do battle or charge through any line to get out of this place that he has been summoned to.

Great Post. Amazing post. I would give you RPXP but I gave it to you pretty recently already.

[Evil Pie]

I'm sorry I can say the same since I do not know who you are. He clenches his fists a bit tighter letting a drop or 2 ooze from his wounds.
Religion was never one of my best subject. He looks around a bit nervous, both at the build of the dwarf and that he is armed and no where Martigan can run to. I believe there has been an error, I'm not supposed to be here, If you could kindly point me to the nearest exit, I wish to return from whence I came..... please.
His eyes dart around looking for an exit should this turn ugly.

Devin carefully examines the statues, taking a closer look at the eyes and mouths. Something is not quite normal here, but this is clearly not a normal place anyway. He ignores the figure running up the staircase for the moment...there will be time to go up after he is certain that he has learned what he can here. He is clearly not in immediate danger-either he is already dead, and thus beyond harm, or someone is watching out for him, and would not have sent him someplace dangerous. He does not touch the statues, but does look very closely at them in the hopes of learning anything usefull. He also glances around, trying to get a feel for how far the pillars extend.

OOC You guys can use secret tabs or non-secret. I'm just keeping stuff secret between you because you're in different places.

Devin hears a small poof and Raph suddenly appears behind him, precisely where Devin found himself. Raph is also wearing a loin cloth.

Raph looks up at Devin inspecting one of the pillars. The dwarf is wearing a loin cloth, showing off his rear end to either side. It's not really a pleasant sight.

They seem to both be here.

'Am I dead... Is this what awaits us in death? I imagined light... In the least being able to lay eyes on the sun god himself...' I see Devin, but unable to speak for a moment. 'Devin? I must be dead...' I step forward a bit towards Devin. "Devin? Is that you?" I approach slowly to the pillar he is inspecting. I slowly place a hand on his shoulder. "Come. Someone is waiting for us." I walk towards the stairs, waiting for Devin to follow. 'Pelor... guide us well. And care for the others in their fight. Should they fall as well, let their end come swift and painless.' I start walking strongly. No fear resides in my step. As I walk through the darkness, no evil shall I fear. Sure as the morning sun breaks the shadow of the night, Pelor shall guide my step through the unseen valleys and deliver me to the divine realm of which he reigns."
