Roleplay Thread: The World Called Sharma

Erick

The Attackers blade gashes into ericks leg, and erick dropped to one knee, wincing in pain.

Lexi

Lexi thought for a second and then, "There's a cave nearby... but i doubt they would have gone there" Lexi quickly added in, the sharmites who lived in that cave, weren't exactly fans of cuties, or so she had been told, of course most cuties aren't immediately hostile, so she could probably pass through as just another ditsy sharmite who didn't know why humans kept falling flat at her feet, but still, she regretted bringing it up

Maria
Maria heard Lexi's quick adding,and asked. "Hm? Why? Is it dangerous?"

Lexi

Lexi, annoyed at Maria's catching her, replied calmly "Its full of sharmites, if they already have a mistress, I doubt they would have reason to go there"

Maria
"Hm,you have a point there.So,where else could they go?"

Lexi

Lexi's devilish side took hold for a second, "Well, there is the queen's city..." she smiled, "a lot of mistresses live there..." Nothing quite like the queens city to get this girl to sing like a birdy, and tell all her little secrets

Maria
Maria felt a really tiny feeling that it would be a bad idea,so she asked. "Hm,a city would be one good place,but are there any better places besides that one? I guess we should know all the options before choosing one."

Niles

Niles shook his head in exasperation but stayed silent. The fact that Ruby was already being referred to as an ally was worrying to say the least. It was a problem that Niles was familiar with. Many of the people he had escorted in the past had made the mistake of being too trusting towards sharmite strangers. Whether it was due to a sense of chivalry or if people were just thinking with the wrong organ was something that seemed to vary. Either way, sharmites seemed to have a disarming effect on most men... And a handful of women.
"(Wayward must have been pretty friendly place, Blondie is even more trusting then the standard fare.)" He thought to himself. Mattews trust would be admirable if it weren't such a problem.

Niles was jolted awake by another scream.
"Wait, everyone catch that? It sounded close, just to our right, but it was muffled..." He felt the wall next to him then gave it a few quick taps. It was definitely hollow, in fact the wall sounded to be remarkably thin. Niles stepped backwards, took a deep breath, and gave the wall a mighty kick! "Gahk...!" Niles let out a restrained scream as he recoiled in pain. "I uhm... Think I may have underestimated it a little." He whimpered, holding his foot. "Anyone want to handle this?"



Aiko

Aiko hid her notepad in a pocket as she noticed the lapin. "Hmm, she's dressed like a stripper who's dressed like a nurse... I suppose that's standard issue here, can't complain." She shrugged. She gave an enthusiastic wave in the lapins direction.

Mattew
"Handle...a wall?Well...if you say so" Mattew said,a bit confused,since he was in the other side of the passage and couldn't tell what Niles thougth.However,all Mattew needed to tell there was another passage on the other side,was to take two steps toward it. He felt his footsteps,almost not hearable due to his silent nature,echoing in the wall and passing through it,revealing auditively the other path. "Oh,I see now." He got to the wall,and gave a fast punch to it,staying petrified for some seconds "....Sh*t....." He then separated his hand and started waving it up and down,trying to wash away the pain. In the part where the punch was given,there now was a small crack. Mattew tapped the crack a few times. "There we go,it's loosened enough,with a few swings of that pickaxe of yours we could easily bring it down.Mind doing the honors,Ruby?"

Aiko
"Hm?" The Lapin Nurse saw Aiko waving and sashayed over to her. "Oh, you must be the patient~." She began. "Where does it hurt?"

Lexi and Maria
The Oni turned to Lexi. "Silly, how could you forget?" She said. "I'm her mistress now." She took Maria with one arm, around the shoulders, in a "buddy buddy" way.

Niles and Mattew
"Oh, no problem~." Ruby said. She walked forwards, lifted her pickaxe, and brought it down on the wall. After five or so strikes, the wall crumbled, opening a path. "There, done." She said triumphantly.

Erick
The attacker laughed lightly. "You see?" He said. "You have no chance against me. Now give me your cash!"
Pinta looked down at Erick and tried to help him to his feet.

Mattew
"Good,now let's keep going.Which direction did the sound seemed to come from,Niles?" Mattew asked Niles,and putted his hand aside his ear to amplify even more his audition"

Maria
"Huh....I..guess so...." Maria did the same to the oni,although hesitating a bit. "Now that I think about it,I guess....um....calling you a Mistress (or whatever that is) all the time would get boring.Can you tell me your name?"

Lexi and Maria
"My name?" The Oni started. "Right, I never even told you my name! How silly of me..." She put a hand over her ample chest. "My name is Nomi. Pleasure to be your Mistress!"

Maria
"Oh,well,a pleasure to be your...um...slave...too,Miss Nomi" Maria said, bowing to Nomi. She then thought "(I don't have idea what is all this mistress and slave thing,but I might as well keep with it)".
"So....where should we go,then?" Maria asked,a bit anxious.

Erick

Erick took Pintas hand, slowly rose to his feet, and uttered a single word "No" before spitting in the bandits face

Erick
"W-WHAT!?! UGH!" The assailant wiped his face clean and growled at Erick. "You freak, you're going down!" He yelled. He stepped forwards to strike. However, at this point, everyone was able to see what was going on.

Lexi and Maria
Nomi pointed forwards. "We're headed to the field, then we're gonna try to deduce where they went." She told Maria. "Hopefully someone will have seen them or whatever."

Erick

"Go on then," Erick goaded seeing the crowd, "Do something, you know you want to"

Lexi

Lexi smiled and nodded to Nomi "Alright lets go"

Erick
The bandit snarled and struck out at Erick anyway, infuriated by the disrespect and courage that Erick showed to him.

Aiko

"I've a few scrapes and bruises around, but lets start with the bit covered in blood, hmm?" She smiled and pointed towards her forehead.



Niles

Niles stepped through the improvised doorway and into a large open room. "Well uhm... Right here..." He muttered in confusion. "Yeah, the sound should have come from this room..." He looked around nervously. Aside from its size and the occasional gemstone the room was completely unremarkable. Niles quickly turned back towards his companions, his face plastered with worry. "You... You heard it too right? The scream I mean, that wasn't just me...?"

Mattew
Mattew looked at Niles awkwardly. "Scream?....Um...Niles,are you sure you heard something?"
He then looked at the room. "Empty....too empty I would say for a room built in a cave,I was expecting at least some skelletons"
"Well,Ruby,do you think those gems would be valuable for you? After all,if we get out of here,at least let's take some souvenirs"
Then he looked back at Niles. "Well,I can say two things:either that headache is getting you mad,or......wait" He then started looking in his backpack,then finally found a package of some yellow leaves. "Alright,Niles,eat one of these,and if you start to glow...then you are under a confusion spell and we are in big trouble" He gave one to Niles and inmediately putted his hands in the hilts of his two blades.

Aiko
The Lapin hugged Aiko and gave her a big kiss on the forehead. She voraciously continued to kiss her forehead until the blood was all gone, the pain went away, and the forehead was healed. All that was left was several pink lipstick marks. "There's the forehead." She said. "Now lets do the rest." She holds Aiko close and kisses her all over, not only healing with her kisses, but wherever she touched Aiko.

Niles and Mattew
Ruby took a look at the gemstones, then pulled out her pickaxe and began to dig them out. "Thank you~." She told them. When they began to discuss the leaves, she turned to look. "You didn't hear any screams?" She asked. "I thought I heard a scream before..."

Mattew
"You mean,as of,right now? Well,maybe I was the one that dind't heard it,but let's just make sure"
Mattew chilled a little,but kept his hands on the hilts of his blades "After all,allucinations are one of the common spells of Illusion,but easily not effective with people versed in the matter"

Niles

"Well, I just happen to be versed in the matter." Niles stated defiantly while examining the strange leaf. "I live with a mage after all..."
"I think I'll hang on to this for now." He slid the leaf into a pocket, reluctant to eat herbs from a relative stranger. His face changed to a glare as he looked up at Mattew "Ehh? Whats with the swords Blondie? You getting paranoid?" He asked in frustration. "Do me a favor and chill out pal, before you do something stupid. The air is thin down here after all, you're kinda out of your element..."



Aiko

"Wh- Hey!" Once she was over the initial daze Aiko quickly pulled away and awkwardly folded her legs, adjusted her seating, and leaned her shoulders on the table. "That was a tad more sudden then I was expecting. You really don't like to waste time do you? Didn't even offer to buy me a drink first..." Aiko smiled and wiped her forehead with a sleeve. She was impressed to find it completely smooth, as if there was never a wound there to begin with. Aiko's curiosity was once again piqued, after all this was just a young nurse, yet she seemed to have healing capabilities on par with a few white mages that Aiko had met.
"Naydene was it? You are very talented for someone your age. I'm assuming your local? Perhaps you could take a moment to answer some questions?"

Erick

Erick dodged back again and countered by attempting to grab his opponents wrist, so as to subdue or disarm this thief

Mattew
Mattew stood there,looking at Niles. ".......As you wish" He putted his hands back to his sides,leaving the swords alone,which made them become hidden again in his cloak "I'll give you a recommendation for the future though...don't mess with the elements" As if supporting his words,a strong gust of fresh air invaded the cave. 
"If it's poison you're worried about,there's nothing in it.Let me show you" He grabbed another of his leaves and ate it. Then stood there for a minute mand nothing happened. "See? I'm not lying. But if you're not going to eat it,then throw it away, those leaves rot very fast, and when that happens,they taste horrible....oh, and they stop working too" 
Mattew then examined the room. "Well,there isn't anything here after all. I guess it was a bait room for wasting time or some-" Then the sound Niles heard appeared again "Oh...so it did existed in the end. But why didn't I heard it before?.....Anyways,that's not important now. Let me see where it comes from." He then went the way it came and found some tiny holes,that were in fact very deep. Mattew used the torch to see in the darkness of that hole,but found that it's insides were way too small for even a cat to fit in. "So it comes from here. The passageway leads to the left,and we came from the right before finding this so we should keep going through where we were going before finding this room."

Niles

"More screaming? Well this isn't a safety cave at all!" Niles groaned, scratching a nervous itch on his head. He once again asked himself what he was doing in a labyrinth of a cave with two strangers despite hearing numerous screams. He didn't expect to find an answer, and he didn't. The only reason he was still there seemed to be out of some irrational compulsion to keep moving forward. It somehow managed to outweigh his usually great sense of caution. And while he doubted that magic was affecting his mind, he was certain that something was.

"Hey Blondie, hold up a second. Notice how we heard a scream but found nothing when we went to investigate? Heard another scream nearby... And found nothing when we went to investigate? Heard another scream nearby... You see where I'm going with this right? We're being herded. I'm pretty sure an ambush isn't far off..."

Mattew
"Well, that's a possibility, but right now we don't have much of a choice, since we got three options: Either stay in this room,go back to where we came from, or keep going to where the sound is.And since that room is totally empty,we only have two choices now.Either leave this cave or go right into the so called trap. Can't say this wasn't expectable anyways. But let's rewind a bit. There are both sharmites,and humans in this cave,acording to the thieves I met earlier. If this was a trap, then it's either sharmites that want to make us slaves, or human thieves looking for gold.That is, those are the most probable ones,since we're in a cave close to the queen's forest. So, i'd say this cave is nowhere near safe,as you're probably thinking. Should we get out before we're attacked?"
