The leader is highly protected, since that is the whole point of her guards being there. There is no conceivable way that a snake is going to get her at this point (no offense).
Depending on how bad the cut is (I mean, Theron IS attacking a skilled warrior, but someone who exposed himself) they could conceivably have a healer on board-- in fact, likely do, to help protect their charge. The easiest path for the future of your characters is for him not to die razz
Ronyo, sorry, haven't posted at all in the RP any where sweatdrop

Well, Theron defended himself by defending Arril.
I didn't really think about the healer though... I neglected that... emo

dont be so sure about the capabilities of Sih... You said nothing of a tree being near, or far; thus I assume that there is a very large oak tree next to the trail. It is dark, and Sih is a Burmese python. The sleeping spell wore off more quickly on her than it did Theron or Arril. Seeing the opportune moment, she slipped up the tree, where she awaits to spring onto someone when the time is right. soo... beware the tree... when you least expect it.... expect it. domokun
She just assumes Arril will scent her pheromones when he gets close.

No, I've got to call BS on that. There's no reason for the spell to work less on a snake. Sleep is the same for all animals. You've also portrayed her as having higher thought functions than an actual snake would, so she should be affected more or less the same way in that area as the humans. So, more accurately, she should be slithering away NOW, not later. The strangers should be able to see her though they would be more worried about the human and the now-obviously-not-human Arril. I believe I mentioned that they were leaving farmland, but small farmers can use trees at the edges of their property for wind screens, so that's fine. Lastly, if she is small enough to hide on Arril, even granting him great strength, then she is not her full size and you should keep that in mind when proposing that she should attack some one well guarded. I know that pythons are dangerous but I also know that some Spanish explorers of the Amazon were able to defeat them by wrestling full sized pythons to the ground (with several men)!

AND I have an idea for if you make it to the woods mrgreen
Draco, I took the part out of your post that controlled the NPCs.

Name: Manuel Gender: Male Age: 21 Magic?: Nada Appearance: Manual is rather short, and retains some of his boyish qualities. His light blond hair tells of his past, which he never knew much. It is cut roughly below the ears, whenever he thinks it is getting too long and has something sharp to cut with. Shimmering blue eyes express a lot of emotion, and is a direct passageway into his soul. Even though he is smaller than most his age, he is strong and sure-footed. Years of maintenance and cleaning reluctant grime has developed both of these features. His feet are small, and light, adding to his speed that he had to develop to meet the standards of the women. Personality: Manuel is light-hearted. He just doesn't grasp the concept of resentment. He had always thought of his jobs as challenges, and has an overactive imagination sometimes. Slavery didn't age him into a wiser beyond his years. A long time ago he told himself that he would never let anger get in his way, and so has gone to acting like a little kid in a sense. Still, he knows when he has to stop, though is sometimes reluctant to do so, and can act his own age when needed. He doesn't think much about escape, but does love the concept of a little adventure. He might be able to be persuaded if there was really a good reason to. History: Manuel was not born in the capital, where he spent most of his life. He was born at the very southern part of Tok, though he doesn't remember anything from there. When he was young, too young to remember, he was taken away by some people, and brought to his new home. When he was old enough to do a good job cleaning, he was set to work mostly cleaning and doing maintenance things. Of course, he did other things around the place, but those were, oddly enough, his favorites. Some days, when he had nothing better to do, he would work on that by himself, without anyone telling him to, inventing wild stories in his mind to help the time pass. Now, at 21, he still works there, having not once thought of trying to escape.

If you couldn't guess it looks like I won't be rejoining the roleplay, it was a great deal of fun while it lasted though.

Dema, yeah I kinda figured xd That's ok, though, I'm glad you were in it when you were.
Lover of Roleplay - I'll work on starting a thread for you next time I post in the RP 3nodding

well said Penden. I solved the Sih dilemma with my last post, though I dont know if the procurement of one of their swords helped Arril out any. Maybe it's justified with the coin from Arril's murders, but there is still the boy's evils.
I see them sending someone to hunt them both down to bring the boy to justice, and possibly just wanting to know what the hell Arril is, maybe roughing him up a bit (maybe a lot) and bringing him in for scrutiny.
Of course again, this is just speculation. I have no clue of how Arril or Theron will be integrated into the grand scheme of the Feretris plot, or if we have just missed our chance. I'm thinking that maybe I should have explored more ideas before posting my profile, (like maybe someone from another continent with interesting weapons or abilities with an urge for freedom...) but a character like Arril is all I have ever role played. I dont really see it any other way.
But as for their dilemma now, I have no clue of how it will work out. at least Theron and Arril will have at least a little time to develop some sort of relationship before their next confrontation. unless the men decide to knock them flat as they pass.

Collectively Theron and Arril did mess up my first plan for them, but have no fear biggrin *secret secret* Other people have messed up my plans before but didn't seem to even notice or care. @_@ Were they oblivious or did they have way too much faith in me? xd
To be completely honest yes your character is difficult to integrate into the RP, but yours is by no means the only one (including the many people who have come and gone) and that can be part of the challenge and what makes it interesting for me. That's why I have developed many NPC networks including in the woods that you are about to enter. The RP has always been designed to allow for a wide variety of characters as long as the player was up to par-- the plains people were actually an addition early on to increase the RP's ability to absorb various characters.
I didn't expect your character to offer coins, that's pretty awesome, and your post is fine. Sorry I had to edit your last one but I simply hadn't given you enough to go off of to make a detailed and reasonable post. The delay was because I was formulating a plan B lol

no problem.
If everything calms down for arril and theron, I believe that Arril will try and free the horses of those men. A promise made by arril is not one that is easily broken.
Though the boy may have murdered one of their own, Arril will make it extremely difficult for them to complete their task if there is another outright confrontation. but that is unlikely to happen. As the men are excellently skilled in combat, Arril is skilled doubly so in stealth and tracking. they had better watch their backs. If the two horses they procured by the interlopers disappear in the middle of the night without a sound or notice of their guard, they had better not be so surprised.
of course, this is only if arril and theron dont get caught up in the happenings of the woods. and of course, this is just speculation.

If they sell the horses to a local farm then Arril might be able to BOTH free the horses and get caught up in whatever. 3nodding
Lover of Roleplay, made the thread for you!
ITS MY BIRFDAY!
PS. Draco, If you're wondering about the mythical creatures I reference, I don't know much more about them than what you can find on wikipedia, and in general we can change such creatures from the established legends to fit our purposes if they become important in the RP.

I'M FLEXIBLE I SWEAR!
More specifically you ruined their chance to be part of the group that they just clashed with xd But that's ok, I thought of something else. That's my job as a GM. biggrin You should have your character do what he would do in that situation if he can. That's your job. xp
