Two-two


Garrett was amused by Annie’s spurt of fiery magic. From her bush, Two-two mimicked Annie’s hand movements, but nothing happened, save for a butterfly fluttering about.

Amidst further discussion, Keldagrim and Kandarin were places Two-two had been. She was never too fond of underground, same with Father. Aureus shared more bread, and some dwarves approached from afar. Joric did not like masks, it would seem, and he had a point that a mask would only draw attention. Annie mentioned she was half-elf, but Garrett did not notice significant elven features, and neither did Two-two, who, like her father, was indifferent to elves.

Whether Annie was happy or scared was anybody's guess.

“Oh, I’m doing fine. I’m used to long periods without food or drink,” Two-two replied to Aureus. Though, she accepted the half a loaf. “An inn at a port sounds good. Would like some beer.”

“Are those dwarves running after us?” Two-two asked as she looked around. Articulated plates click as they move, after all, and then...

(( Presumably, I begin re-introing Mercadier after they group with the dwarves? I will also tone down the action when I do ))

Annie nodded and said,
Ok. I will try not to worry. Then the inn will be fine.”
She heard loud clanking of their metal Armour coming towards them. She felt scared but ready to fight if needed to.

Gareth

Gareth did not meet Sir Amik's gaze. The Blacksmith assumed the pose and stature of a man who simply felt humbled to be there, and that looking Sir Amik in the eye would cause some sort of offense. Internally, there were many things that either confused or disgusted him. Sir Amik on King Vallance's throne, his strange obsession with these strangers, his odd staring, and what seemed to be paranoia from the Knight who thought himself a King.

At Sir Amik's question, he shrugged. "They went south, my lord. I didn't join them, because I have no reason to. I don't know who they are, that woman was clearly unstable, and I'm already set up here with money and a forge. The city has been good to me. Why would I want to leave?" He asked, and then after a moment he added, "my lord."

Oops sorry, my ears had failed me. The noise was coming from behind.
Aureus turned to see 5 dwarves approaching them. He didn't recognize any of them under their beard and heavy armor, but the short stature was a giveaway.

Aureus stepped aside, looked towards Joric, and then Aranel, waiting to see what they'd say.

Garrett quirked an eyebrow at the suggestion that he could have some elf somewhere in his ancestry, admittedly not having been expecting such a full answer from Aranel. Still, it explained why the kid had magic - but he somehow doubted that he had any elven blood.

That aside it seemed as though the group had decided his suggestion of the inn would be the better option. Meaning, of course, they would definitely be passing through Port Sarim - something the sailor had been holding off on doing for quite some time. He had to return one day, and while this wasn't how he pictured it happening he couldn't say it wasn't a good way to push him into it.

Suddenly, the group was alerted to the sounds of clanking metal hurrying towards them. Garrett turned along with most of the others, spotting the incoming group of dwarves running down the road towards them. For half a second the sailor wondered if Amik really HAD sent someone after them, but realized moments later that these were dwarves - no way Amik would send a group of dwarves after them, he'd be far more likely to send some of his knights, if anyone. Runners from the mines, perhaps?

As they approached Garrett motioned to the group to move to one side of the road. It was possible the dwarves were making their way to the port as well, and their pace indicated some urgency. If not here for them, there was no use in blocking their path.

" Ahoy there! What seems ta' be the hurry? " He called out to them with his friendly demeanor.

Aranel watched as the group of dwarves came racing towards them. It looked as if they had no intention of stopping. Aranel put her bow away as she didn’t fee that Amik sent them. They looked like they were going to keep moving but slowed when Garrett called out to them. The dwarves stopped and pulled off their helms, they looked.... frightened. One of the dwarves stepped forward. “ The black knights are moving. They took our outpost, collapsed the mines to keldagrim, murdered and captured a lot of us. 2 groups escaped. Us and another who went to Sir Amik to alert him. I believe they have already begun to seal off the Falador entrance to the mines. If not, they are idiots. We need help, we need to find people who will fight with us.” The dwarf looked at the group expectedly.

Aranel looked around. She knew what she wanted to do, but could not decide for the others. “I will help. I can’t speak for my traveling companions however..” She turned to her group. “I never turn down someone in need. If you would like to continue onto the tower, I understand. I fear a bigger war is coming. But we aren’t far to Port Sarim. I would like to rest for a night before I return to Falador.”

*****

Sir Amik listened to Gareths reply. “Very Well then.” He seemed to ponder something. “If you have news of where south they went, it would be best to tel me now, lest I find out later you lied to me. Otherwise, could you fire up your forge and make us some armor? The... “ Sir Amiks voice trailed off and it seemed he decided not to tel Gareth what he was about to. “ we need Armour but we do not have the resources of the mine anymore. Can you make us some with the ore you have in your stock? We will pay well. “”

**** East Falador Mine Entrance

A group of knights and dwarves worked together to seal the mines. They collapsed the stairs leading down into the mines and boarded up the windows and doors, under Sir Amiks Order

Annie felt very confused what to do. She wanted to learn how to use her powers better in the wizard tower was but she also wanted to stay with Aranel too. Then said to Aranel,
”If you go back, Sir Amik would lock you up. I really don’t know what to do.”

Aranel shook her head at Annie. “If I got back,” She sighed. “ If I go back, I will reveal something to Sir Amik that will make sure he does no harm to me. “ Aranel did not meet the gaze of anyone around. She did notice the dwarves looking between themselves obviously confused

(( The secret Aranel is hiding is a twist to RS lore. Just a heads up ))

Annie nodded but, still very confused. Then said,
"Please be careful my friend. I was wondering, if I go back to Falador, would he hurt me when he captures me?"
She was terrified of the thought. She wants to help but scared to do it because of Sir Amik.

Gareth

"I think they mentioned Port Sarim or the Wizard's Tower. They didn't seem to be sure," Gareth said with a shrug, unsure why Sir Amik was so fixated on finding them, when he faced far more pressing issues. Then Gareth's expression turned apologetic. "As for the armour... apologies, my lord, but it can't be done. I'm already running out of metal as is. Tomorrow I'm supposed to receive another shipments from the dwarves, but with the mine taken... it won't come."

---

Joric Ironfist

"Either that, or yer running away."

The dwarf stepped forward with an angry expression. "Ice Mountain is that way," he said, and began shoving two of the dwarves back in the direction of Falador. "What kind of dwarf abandons his home? You've no reason be down 'ere. A bunch of sailors and farmers aren't going to follow you up that mountain. Come on, follow me!"

And without waiting to see if anyone would actually follow, Joric was already jogging back toward Falador.

---

Darcius

There was a crack, followed by the fall of timber, as the tree fell. Without wasting any time, a group of men immediately began sawing off branches and logs.

Darcius watched the process, his true thoughts and expression hidden beneath the helm. He had always made a habit of walking among his men. It reminded them that he was present, that he was listening to their concerns, and it also shushed any talk of desertion or mutiny.

One of his Lieutenants approached him. "Sir?" the Lieutenant asked reluctantly.

"What is it?" Darcius asked, still watching the work.

"Why aren't we attacking?"

Darcius turned. "What?" he said, as if his subordinate had just asked why humans couldn't float on air.

"Why aren't we attacking? Those tunnels lead right beneath the city. But you collaps-"
