Faith Kindred

Rameaux: I’m not sure if I trust the old man, but if we are armed, we are as safe with him as anywhere else, and we cannot loose our way if we have a campus. This I know though, that we had better try for the boat, for I would fear to cross a swamp with monsters lurking everywhere. A boat would quicken our progress and improve our safety.…[Read more]

(Cripes! That’s quite a riddle!)
Arianwen: *blinks* “Pardon— the ghost of whom?” *J.R.R.Tolkien shakes head and vanishes into mist* *Arianwen stands confounded, puzzled frown between her brows, thoughtfully biting lower lip**turns to others* “I… I know not what to think. I do not think it would be wise to ignore even the most cryptic warning…[Read more]

As the character head into the woods, they are stopped by the sight of a grey misty figure in the form of an old man. He rises from a moss covered stone and approaches them.
“I am the ghost of J.R.R.Tolkien. I have been sent to test you and to see if you are worthy to take the boat across the great swamp that lies within your path to the…[Read more]

“Oh, that? Well, it’s more of a collector’s item. My brother gave it to me.” *Pulls small Lego figure from pouch* “It’s a character from a movie…umm, like a story one can watch.” *Smiles slightly as she looks at the figure then puts it away. “Suffice it to say that it won’t be of any help to us.”

Arianwen: *takes hand, presses it warmly.* “We shall try not to die here, shan’t we?” *smiles, flashes Anna half puzzled glance from bright eyes* “If I may ask… what is a lego bilbo? Is it… some kind of cordial?”

*Anna glances at Arianwen and slows a step to walk along side her* “It’s a dream, for all I can tell. Except I know it’s not a dream. So…no, I don’t know where we are thought I heartily wish I did.” *She clenches her jaw and shakes her head* “I’ve a battle to get back to. Hopefully this will be one of those cases where no time passes when I’ve…[Read more]

Quinn: *smiles* true, my lady. Better survive in good company.
*drops back beside Ashe* *holds out hand * Hello, I’m Quinn.

Arianwen: *glancing at Quinn* “No, my lord, to speak truth I do not.” *steps on thorny creeper, grinds it into ground.* “But it seems to me that some of them—” *flashes sudden smile, glances ahead, lowers voice* “May need what little assistance I am able to give. And I also must find a way to leave this place. I am willing enough to go in their…[Read more]

Quinn: *takes out compass* Southeast it is, then. *strides up beside Arianwen* *leans over* Pardon, m’lady, but do you know these people?
(Totally, Kate! That’s part of the fun. 🙂 )

Anna…muttering to self: “And how exactly is heading inward going to get us off this island? Isn’t there a boat or helicopter.”
Scarlett: Seriously? You didn’t get here by boat or helicopter, did you?
Maybe I should just go back to sleep.
And get eaten?
That was sarcasm and you understood it very well.
‘Course I did.
*Shaking head at Scarlett,…[Read more]

(Yes)

Arianwen: *sheathes knife, picks up skirts and follows after*.

(Is anyone else enjoying how amazingly different all our styles are?— my thoughts).

*loud cries to all the saints of heaven* It was just in my hand! There is a witch on this island I will swear. *stops to check pouch and pistol, expression of relief* That’s it, the sooner we get off this island the better. I for one will not remain here any longer or I will lose my pistol too and I need it to shoot the witch if I see her. *Puts…[Read more]

Arianwen: “I have only my knife, my sword and…” *hesitates, sweeps eyes over coastline and trees* “Well, I did have…” *shrugs* “It does not greatly matter. He will turn up when he wishes.” *fixes eyes on Rameaux* “My lord… I beg your pardon, but I see no sword upon you, and no sheath long enough to contain anything more than that long, thin…[Read more]

We can discuss what some of those things are latter, but I suppose you can survive.

*Anna looks down to examine herself* “Well, I have my laser pistol, but there are only four shots left and it appears I’ve not brought any extra energy pack here, wherever ‘here’ is. And I have my dagger, a small medical kit…oh yes, and my odds and ends pouch. A needle, some thread, a condensed granola bar, paper and pen, and a little Lego Bilbo.”

*Bows* Rameaux, master of disguises, and of getting away without disguises. I’m not sure if it will be of much use here, but we will see.

*looks at Rameaux rather strangely* may I inquire about the wig?

Quinn: *pats down belt* A dagger and a compass here. *pulls out compass and looks at it* A little wibbly-wobbly, but it works. *claps it shut* That should help us get to the mountain.

Well this isn’t France, I can tell you that, and it isn’t any place I have ever heard of either. Thus I conclude it is nowhere and somewhere. That is to say, we are in a place that doesn’t exist and we are stuck. We need to get out. How about we all review the supplies we have and then make a plan, or I will make a plan. Since if we stay here we…[Read more]
