(Official RP) the Battle for the Crook and Flail - Part 1

[melodysangel]

((How much time between reaction posts? Is it 10 minutes give or take?))

Ammelia landed swiftly and silently on her paws and immediately took her right arm and extended it out. A magical sword materialized in the paw from its holding place by her side.

She didn't have to look around and see to KNOW there was undead around. Thank the gods Kirah was not in her place! The slender female looked up and around, taking in the surroundings, and making sure the civilians that went into the rift were unharmed. They weren't in immediate danger so it was best to take her time.

Fia stepped through the portal and stood next to Julian. She surveyed the battle ridden scene before them. "Eh, I think we've been through worse." She said smiling.

[Moophles]

Julian shook off the disorientation and sighed a bit and looked around...something seemed familiar about this but he couldn't seem to recall it. "Probably." he chuckled to Fia

[Ranquillane]

((Very very long post here, sorry. It was the wrap up of the RP from two years ago. In a nutshell the Pharoah asks for sphinxes to join him in questing forth to reclaim the crook and flail))

As the ringing of the battle abated and the city settled the Pharaoh Adjo moved to the top of the stairs of the Palace and seemed to look around at the destruction of the city. Walls were rubble, buildings broken and caved in, some streets were blocked and debris was everywhere.

The Pharaoh looks down at his people before glancing briefly as the tan, hieroglyphed femal sphinx beside him (which some may recognize as the high mage) The High Mage TaRepy casts a quick spell on the Pharoah before he speaks with his voice magically bolstered to be heard by all.





“Citizens of Ahket!”
the Pharaoh said as he addressed the citizens


“You have fought hard, and you are weary, I know. But please listen, for although we have beaten back the enemy here and now, still their leader has survived. The evil necromancer has stolen the sacred crook and flail, and fled, leaving her minions to die in her absence.”

“We do not yet know her precise plans for our ancient artifacts, but it is imperative that we stop her. Her necromantic magics would corrupt the powers of the gods and she will use the artifacts to return and finish what she started here.”

“We must pursue her, into the desert; find the crook and flail, and take them back. Not for me,” Adjo winces slightly, though this was probably difficult to see in the crowd, “but for all of you. To save our city and our land from destruction and enslavement. Enslavement even from beyond the grave.”

“We need those most strong of heart and fleet of foot! Who will come? Who will come with me into the desert to face the darkness?”



Most of the sphinxes from Ahket were battle weary, wounded and exhausted. Many wished to help but were too weak to carry on. (Some would have helped but... a time paradox happens. Again, whatever you wish to have happened paradox wise.)


Ranquillane looked at the group again, her paw lowering. "All right, this is the moment. Make sure to join in with the Pharaoh's quest since it seems to be that you already did help him in one timeline." she smiles a confident smile at the group "I'm not supposed to be a part of this, so I'll teleport into the future to meet you where this flux should have panned out." she tips her hat "Good luck."

[Phoenix Stardancer]

Amihan stepped forward confidently with his falcon on his back "I'll come my pharoah"

He was eager to help right the wrong of the theft and to right the troubles plaguing the future. He only hoped he proved to be as up to the task as he felt. Being a former thief he at least had a few more skills than the normal knight, He felt clear headed and calm. He was ready to meet this threat head on.

Neti touched her arm. This...she did this right? Maybe? She didn't know anymore. She did step forward, however, bowing her head. "I will aid you, my king." She said strongly. This...This was all so bizarre, but she knew she had to help. If this sat wrongs to right, she would gladly face this monster down. There was a part of her that was concerned for the Citizen's and the Pharaoh's health, however. This fight had to have taken a great deal out of him and the others.

Myara approached the, oddly enough, slightly younger appearing Pharaoh Adjo and lowered her head in a bow. She grasped the hourglass that swung from her neck due to the momentum of her actions. Peering up slightly towards Pharaoh Adjo she stated, “My Pharaoh, I will gladly assist in your efforts to keep this land safe and locate the crook and flail”.

[wolfrysk]

Rajan had been about to speak to their "leader", but seeing some already beginning to step forward he instead gave a flustered sigh and stood. As he walked out to where the others were, he spoke up slowly. "I will offer my services."

[melodysangel]

((They are toying with a new modem and im not sure if they are going to install that soon or hold off--so incase I go poof, you know why))

Ammelia narrowed her eyes and looked at the chaos infront of her. A date with a necromancer...well. She had been through worse.

Seemed this was the epicenter of that flux. And it was affecting things back home. So...the sooner this gets sorted, the better.


Carefully and tactfully moving, to make sure dead things stayed dead, the female made her way over. This king was not hers. But he clearly needed help and it seemed most did not have the stamina to move on.


'Where do I sign up?'

[Moophles]

Julian steps closer so that he can be heard as well. He felt like this too, was very familiar. "I too will assist in recovering the crook and flail."

[Nephthys]

"I will come with you into the desert, my Pharaoh," Medea summoned her most courageous sounding voice out of her chest. Although this was in the past, and it had already happened... Medea's instinct to curry favour with whoever she must, whenever the opportunity presented itself, was still present. And so, although she wasn't sure if it counted... she still wanted to make sure that her actions now would put her in the Pharaoh's good books. Even if it was in the past... Ugh. This was a lot to take in, even for her. Well, this would be confusing, but it couldn't hurt to try whatever this was, at least.

[PookaWitch]

Ranquillane gives a sigh of relief that the group is going to work towards fixing this timeline as she carefully adjusts the contraption on the scepter before opening a rift into the future to meet up with them.

[Siopilos]

Captain was feeling well at all after that time portal. It made him feel sick to his stomach with the feeling lingering in his stomach, as he watched the battle below. He couldn't help but notice the official looking lad to his side give the weary citizens an especially moving speech. So much so that Capt. Lin joined the chorus of helpers.

"Aye, I'll help ya for sure! I'm terrible with some things, but I'm a mean stabber... as in, I stab things real well! Not necessarily meaning that I'm mean, or something. I'm really nice. And helpful!" The explorer seemed really pleased with that introduction.

[aholland]

Thingamakig Shrugs as he joins the group of those heading off to try and save the day. He was not sure why he was choosing to help. He figured it could be entertaining. As you know saving the day was not really his thing. He was more of a sit in the shadows, be creepy, and trip people while laughing sort of sphinx , but who knew. it could be fun right? Plus wasn't there always possible loot in these save the day adventure things. Maybe he could find something interesting.

Peeks her head partially from behind a pillar, observing Ranquillane. "Interesting" She retreated behind the pillar again and vanished from the scene while out of sight.

(Note: This has nothing to do with this RP plot! What is going on? Who knows?)
