As they plodded along, heads bent against the wind, something large and scary looking outlined itself against the snow in front of them. A halt was unnecessarily (sp?) called some distance away from the thing, and they sat/stood to discuss it.
"What do we do about it?" Kalile asked urgently. Sane was all in favor of attacking immediatly, and many of the others agreed. "No, no," said Kalile impatiently,"it might have magic like the cold-drakes of Valdemar." Seeing the blank looks on her companions' faces, she continued, "They can take over the minds of creatures with their eyes, not to mention their claws and ice magic. Honestly, don't you people read?" Ooc: If anyone has read about the cold drakes of Valdemar, feel free to embellish.

OOC: I am Not called Sane! or should I change it to Sane?
We trudged along until a threatening sillhouet loomed in the distance. Kalile was all in favor of sitting there like ducks and waiting for the thing, that happan to be some sort of Drake, complaning that we never read. Sane: Oh brother! To hell with reading, although I do, I have fought with these stupid creatures! Oy! Imhuriel, you contact hte thing and keep it busy while I go from the back and see what the hell it is guarding! Ranwen: Wait! if you're going to do some sneeking, you'll need some one small to do the actual sneaking! Sane: Fine. Then i'll cover our backs. Kalile: But wont it notice you're missing? Imhuriel: Not if we do a Cloaking. And with that Ranwen and I snuck off while Kalile, Imhuriel and Rowena kept what-ever-it-was busy.

Suddenly, her falchion glowed blue and red and green - all the colors of the spectrum passed over the steel, and then a great bolt of white shot skyward. Just as quickly, Kalile found herself dodging the monster's attacks. That was her own doing, but then she began to fight back. Before she realized it, the thing was dead. Wiping her face, Kalile saw that she was dressed in armour to match the sword - a shirt of mail, light as a feather, incrusted with gold and jewels, and flexible golden leggings. Oddly, they did not seem frivolous.
"Oh dear."

"What the...... " The same was happening to Imhuriel" What is going on here???" When her armor stopped changing, it was pitch black, like you could not belive, her hair was black, and her circlet dissappeared. "Guess who, Kalile? he he. I thought you would have guessed who I really was by now. Oh well, I guess you don't know everything, now do you?" but your transformation does surprise me, considering you are not back home yet."

Ooc:
Ic: Kalile threw the blade as far as she could, and went back to search for hers in the snow. After a while, she found it and came back. "Damn that Galadriel! She must have slipped me a charmed blade when I wasn't looking! Stupid elf!" After ranting a while, she suddenly remembered Seth. "Hey! Where'd he go?"

Meanwhile Seth and Ranwen are still behind it. (oh so you notice Seth but not me?
ic: Ranwen: Look Seth. The elves. They're changing. And hey! Dran's missing. *sigh* Again. Seth:*shakes head* He's over by the others. See he's flying over Kalile Ranwen: So now what? It's cold here in the snow. Should we go back? ooc: Yeah sane now what?

"Da*n that stupid elf Galadriel, she slipped us the swords of the spirits Raywood [ray-wood], yours Kalile, and mine, Darkwood. They were the best of friends in the Valley, were they not?"

"Oops! Yes they were, and are part of the legend as well."
Kalile quickly ran over the snow to find it again. "I'm not using this again, though." Suddenly, her foot broke through the crust, and she fell. "Hey! Something's under here!" She began to sink through the snow in other places, and shouted, "Give me my harp! My harp, dammit!" Those were the last words she uttered before disappearing completely. As the ice closed again, the hawk gave a cry and dove in after her. Then there was no sound. The sword still lay there, as though nothing had happened.

"Kalile likes trouble doesn't she?" I asked

OOC: Oh bah! Gone for a few days and nothing has happened! Time to budge you all!
"Indeed she does, Indeed she does." I sighed and abandoned my search. Ranwen ran heedlessly over to the spot where the ice had claimed Kalile. Silly girl. I wonder, why would such a beast be purposely stationed in the middle of no where. The exact spot in the middle of no where that they were bound to stumble upon it. Was it guarding something? If so, then what? I shrugged and went over to where my companions were gazing at where Kalile had stood less than a moment before, calling for her harp. Her harp?! Why on earth would she want that? Was she going to dance a jig while trapped down there? Yet another mystery to be solved. "Well, she did ask for her harp. I think it would be rather rude for us to with hold it from her now. Dont you think?" I went over to her horse and grabbed the desired item. Why a harp, of all things? "Boy! Ya know, I think that is the most i've ever heard outta ya!" Ranwen smiled cheekily. "Well, then it shall be the last you shall hear out of me if what i have planned goes south on us." I went forward and grabbed the blade that was lying in the snow. As i had figured, the ground opened up and I fell in with a thump, before the ice closed over i threw the blade back to the surface along with these instructions: "Thrust that in the ground and hold it there so all the horses and you lot can get down, then take the blade out and jump down here with it!" The ice closed over me and all went dark. "Aha! Thank you Seth! I was wanting my harp! Boy, what were they doing up there to take so long?" "Starring at the ground." "Oh brother!" "You have a brother?" "No, thats just an expresion." "Oh. You poeple have such curious expressions!" We waited for the lot above us to figure out what i had said. We made a bet to see how long it would take them. I said that it would take them longer than it took me to say it. I won the bet.

Imhuriel did not use Kalile's weapon to get into the ground. She simply went over to the spot where Kalile sunk, took her blade out and sunk out of sight.

"Well, whatever it was has gone now. I wished for my harp so that I could fight it. But for now...." She played a quick, fiery tune and heat began to radiate from the harp. Noting her companion's looks, she said, "I'm a bard. Didn't you know? I play magic songs."

Ooc: You read my mind! But....
Ic: "The others." Imhuriel turned back to her, written plainly across her face. "You asked what we were waiting for. The others. I believe they are still uncertain up there, and there isn't a way back. I know, I tried."

OOC: So kalile, are you a bard or a kinslayer? Or a Kinslaying-Bard?
I had heard Imhuriel's footsteps above and made room for her. She landed in between Kalile and I with a thump. "well, what are we waiting for?" Imhuriel was impatiant to get on the move again. I gave a slight growl. I forgot momentarily that we were in a cavern, so my growl sounded more like a roar. "We are waiting for the other two ta get down here with our horses in case you didnt realize it!" as if on que, Ranwen and Rowena came down with our horses. Rowena was holding the enchanted blade somewhat gingerly. "Now can we go? Sir Growls-alot?" Imhuriel snapped back, i didnt bother to reply as I had taken Shabaq and was about 10 meters away by the time she turned around. Apperantly this was a long tunnel, I was leary about it so i drew my weapons, I heard my comrades do the same.

Ooc: Kinslayer???????? Great. Now I'm confused again, just before finals. You'll have to explain, for my brain is forming a puddle on my shoes.
Kalile shivered despite the heat from her instrument. Being in the cold, or underground, were bad enough, but both made her clammy.
