Kayne walks in to the shop with his cloak pulled tightly around him. He walks in to a small empty room which is his shop in the corner of the marketplace and says a small simple spell and suddenly the small shop is littered with various magic items and an illuminated sign out the front reading "Arcana Obsqure "

He sits down behind the desk on a small seat and counts out his gold into a till, looking around every so often he spots a traveller in the shops and gets up to show them his wares.

A man in a teal cloak, with a small patch of green at the bottom, walks into the shop. He is armed with two swords with angelic motifs and wears two bracers with the same motif.

"Well, this place just popped up out of nowhere. How are you today, sir?"
necrodude16

09-04-04, 07:44 PM
Today, Sir i am feeling very good. May i interest you in an item perhaps.
Khylorn the Shifter

09-04-04, 08:16 PM
The man nods, smiling courteously.

"I am interested in a pendant that helps to ward against ghosts. I would also like a-"

He suddenly pauses, twitching. Slowly, his eyes turn from a light blue to a glowing red. He snarls at the shopkeeper, and draws the scimitars at his waist.

"Gimme everything you got or I'll slice your (expletive) head off."

He puts one of the scimitars to the shopkeeper's throat and snarls again.

With a simple flick of his wrist and Kayne is standing behind his attacker with his hands already casting another spell. Thick beams of darkness extend from his hands binding the mysterious attacker and dropping him to the floor.

"You messed with the wrong shopowner"

The man beens thrashing around a bit, and his eyes slowly move from red to blue again. He looks around, attempting to move his arms, and isn't successful.

"What just happened? And would you please get me out of this web?"
necrodude16

09-06-04, 01:49 AM
i would prefer you leave now sir....unless Kayne hurries out the back to fetch a potion and feeds it to the helpless person on the floor.

That should fix that

Come to think of it i need an assistant would you be interested in a job? :confused:
Khylorn the Shifter

09-06-04, 08:40 AM
The man seems surprised by the shopkeeper's request.

"Well...I am out of work right now, but my condition isn't exactly a good one for working in a magic shop. You see, I have a curse of phasmexium. A ghost is possessing me constantly. If you provided me with a pendant or necklace that wards against ghosts, then I suppose I could work here."
Jaded_Garnet

09-06-04, 12:17 PM
Just as the commotion dies down, a young woman... no a girl, slips into the shop curiously. Her eyes dart around, then she sees what has to be the shopkeeper, and flashes her youthful smile.

"Not everyday I get to stumble into a place like this! I'm perplexed," she exclaims softly.

She was dressed like a blasted commoner and suddenly felt out of place, or at least silly. With a shrug, she blinks her eyes and resumes glancing about the shelves.

((may i join? i promise not to cause any trouble!))

A dove flutters down from the ceiling.In a burst of feathers he turns into a small boy,looking about twelve.

"Hello,I am looking for a...a-a...well I don't know what I'm looking for...Something good."
Khylorn the Shifter

09-06-04, 05:52 PM
The man, not at all startled by the boy's sudden transformation, smiles at him.

"I'll help you find what you're looking for, if you don't mind, Kayne."

Without waiting for an answer, the man innocently grabs a pendant off the shelf, labeled "Ether Ward," and places it around his neck.

"I'm named Khylorn," the man informs the boy. "How about you?"
malik21

09-06-04, 05:58 PM
"I am Doughvein.Umm...what's that you put around your neck?"

He stares at the pendant with mild interest.
Khylorn the Shifter

09-06-04, 06:02 PM
Khylorn nods, accepting the question.

"This is an item I have been looking for for a very long time, Doughvein. It protects me from ethereal creatures that might try to possess me. Ghosts and such."

He shudders.

"Anyway, what sort of item are you looking for?"
malik21

09-06-04, 06:07 PM
"I don't really know,perhaps something with invisibility?"
Jaded_Garnet

09-06-04, 09:58 PM
THe young woman tilts her head as her greeting goes unanswered. 'Perhaps my kind is not welcome here...' she thinks to herself in dismay.
malik21

09-06-04, 10:05 PM
Doughvein looks to the girl "I'm sure your welcome here.They just can't tend to everyone at once in this packed place!:) I'm sure Khylorn won't mind helping you first though.Khylorn,I'm gonna think about what I want while you help her. Ok?h
Jaded_Garnet

09-06-04, 11:34 PM
"Wait... you are? Are you who I think you are?" she replies, staring at him, nearly searching through him. She gasps then begins muttering to herself before stopping abruptly.

"Tell me I've found you... didn't you know someone of the name Kriel?" she inquires, folding her arms and smiling.
necrodude16

09-07-04, 02:26 AM
You keep that Khylorn as a present. Now young lady may i help you there. What are you looking for?
malik21

09-07-04, 07:45 AM
Doughvein looks to the young lady. "The name seems familiar,but... He thinks a little while "Yes! I did know someone by that name,but you...
Khylorn the Shifter

09-07-04, 03:34 PM
Khylorn looks at the two children as they talk together, and leans towards Kayne.

"Is it just me, or do they know something that we don't?"

A tall, slender half-elf shrouded in a black cloak enters. "Hello," he says curtly. "Do you have something that will let me communicate telepathically with someone on another plane? Or maybe something that could enhance the fighting prowess of large numbers of men simultaneously? I can pay you a lot of gold for items such as those."
Jaded_Garnet

09-07-04, 11:12 PM
"Oh, is it really true?! Kriel... I am Kriel," she replies, her eyes lighting up and filling with joy.
malik21

09-07-04, 11:23 PM
Doughvein smiles,tears running down his face. :bounce: "Got somethin' in my eye."
Jaded_Garnet

09-07-04, 11:26 PM
She blinks, then adds, "But I don't know who you are... only that you look so familiar and that I've been looking for you. Can you tell me why this is?"
malik21

09-07-04, 11:30 PM
"You don't remember?!" :eek: Surely you do!
Jaded_Garnet

09-07-04, 11:32 PM
Kriel feels alarmed for a moment, not sure what she should do.

"I... I know nothing about you... only your face and voice. Please, who are you?" she urges, becoming a bit wary and uncomfortable.
malik21

09-07-04, 11:40 PM
"Stop playing games!" he laughs, but upon seeing the look on her face he can tell she isn't joking.

He feels somewhat awkward for a moment. "Why, I am Doughvein! Your close friend when we were little! But then,... IT happened..."
Jaded_Garnet

09-07-04, 11:45 PM
Kriel looks on with interest, but then quickly glances around the shop.

"This isn't the time, nor place... Doughvein... perhaps you should tell me our 'story' another time...?" she suggests timidly, edging to the door.

"Or.. well.. nevermind, I have much on my mind right now," and with that she slips out the door. Whether he follows or lets her go is his choice alone.
malik21

09-07-04, 11:50 PM
KRIEL!!!Wait! In yet another burst of feathures he turns into a dove and dives throw the door with enough force to pull itoff its hinges. He flies just above Kriel before landin behind her.
Jaded_Garnet

09-07-04, 11:53 PM
She whirls around, her long trails of obsidian black hair spreading over her shoulders.

"I'm not sure I want to know what happened to me. I don't want to know what destroyed my memories, or what invaded my mind," she calls back, breaking eye contact once again.
malik21

09-07-04, 11:57 PM
Kriel! Please! Why don't you want to know?At least stay a little longer! :weep:
Jaded_Garnet

09-07-04, 11:59 PM
"I admit it, I'm scared," she says softly, taking a small step backwards.
malik21

09-08-04, 12:04 AM
The past won't hurt you!You atleast need to know what happened.There is no reason to be afraid.It is as it is now and its alot different than back then. He smiles.
Jaded_Garnet

09-08-04, 12:08 AM
"Then what's the truth? Why do I only remember you? Why is everything else gone from my memory?" she asks suddenly, obviously becoming a bit emotional.
necrodude16

09-08-04, 02:53 AM
Ok..............Kayne moves towards the newest customer.

I happen to have a very powerful device ,like the one you decribed, in my personal collection. It not only lets you talk to the person but veiw them and track them to the spot..... all for the modest price of 100,000 gold coins. :smirk:
malik21

09-08-04, 07:53 AM
Doughvein frownes and his voice seems emotional as he tell what he knows.

((I'm a horrible writer))
"You and I were playing in the field out of the boundries of the town when a huge black mass seemed to float over us and into the village.The warm summers day seemed to freeze with anticipation.As it reached the village you went home to see what was happening.I stayed behind.Just as you were about to enter the door to your house,the blob seemed to explode in a burst of white light.Everyone seemed to forget about everyone and everything,except the last person they saw.Because I was outside of the village it had not effected me.The town 'through me out' for 'spreading lies about happening to the village'.Of course the town soon broke down into pandemonium when they couldn't remember anything. I wondered around for quite a while after that,but no place was like home..but with you around I feel that I am :)
Devourer of Dreams

09-08-04, 07:52 PM
"Hmmmm... Yes, that will do nicely. Now, about that second item I mentioned. Do you have anything like that?" the half-elf says.
Jaded_Garnet

09-08-04, 10:27 PM
"So we were close friends, you say?"
malik21

09-08-04, 10:34 PM
:) He smiles "Yes."
Jaded_Garnet

09-08-04, 10:36 PM
Kriel looks down for a moment, as if considering something. Then she asks, "Well then... if you knew me, was my tongue forked before or after that incident happened?"
malik21

09-08-04, 10:53 PM
A forked tounge?I was not aware this was so,but then again I never saw your tounge!
Jaded_Garnet

09-08-04, 10:56 PM
She sticks out her tongue for a moment, humorously.
necrodude16

09-09-04, 02:02 AM
No sorry although there is a good battlemage just down the street who may have one.

Kayne quickly recites a summoning spell and the pendant he has recently described apears in his hand.

Now how will you be paying?
Devourer of Dreams

09-09-04, 07:39 PM
The half-elf pulls out a small, black disk, lays it on the counter, and reaches through it into the counter to pull out sevaral bags stuffed with gold. "I have some magic up my sleeve as well," he says. The man takes the pendant and the black disk and leaves.
malik21

09-09-04, 07:59 PM
"O-o-.K Like I said before I had know idea your tounge was was forked....
Jaded_Garnet

09-09-04, 11:11 PM
She nods.

"Well then, Doughvein was it?... I've got to be on my way now. Good day to you," she says, briefly smiling before turning to leave.
malik21

09-09-04, 11:18 PM
Wait!Where are you going?
Jaded_Garnet

09-09-04, 11:22 PM
"On my way..."


(( :P ))
malik21

09-09-04, 11:25 PM
Please don't go!
Jaded_Garnet

09-09-04, 11:28 PM
"It was nice meeting you... again," she calls back, still walking down the path, "But I believe things are best left alone..."

Then she stops abruptly.

"...wait..."
malik21

09-09-04, 11:39 PM
Doughvein walks back into the market and sits down,not noticing kriel stop.
Jaded_Garnet

09-14-04, 10:38 PM
She continues out of the village, obviously not finding what she sought here.

((malik, read my pm))

((Another werecobra Jade? My my, and I thought Nezumi was a handful. :D))

Out of the corner of Kayne's eye, a shadow flickers behind the counter. Only noticeable by the mage, a man of considerable youth appears there, looking fairly bloodied up, like he had been attacked with a knife. His hair, had it not been caked with mud, would be blond, his skin creamy, his eyes green. His black clothes spoke of one who did not often get their needs by legal means. In his hands, however, he holds a black diamond, glowing with magic. Catching Kayne's eye slightly, he smiles ruefully. In a tenor voice reflecting his age, he says,

I got it Kayne. Damn skelkies nearly killed me, but I got it. So, could you help me out before I croak?

((Hey necrodude, do you mind?))
necrodude16

11-02-04, 08:16 PM
Using a healing spell Kayne quickly heals the wounded person.

11-06-04, 09:00 PM
Now may i help you??

The half-elf returns. I have another item that I would like to purchase. A mass-mind control device. Do you have one?
Sliver_Over_Mind

12-16-04, 07:45 PM
a young human women nudged open the door. she looked completely normal except for her eyes, one with three tails stretching out from the iris, and bright violet. the other eye pure darkness with no whites, iris or pupil. her thick brown hair flowed straight down. a light speckling of freckles sported her nose.

she whispered quielty to the store keeper "excuse me, but I understand you need money in order to buy food right? and that in order to make money you need to work? if this is true, I would like to inquire about a job"
Devourer of Dreams

12-17-04, 05:18 PM
Who are you?
Sliver_Over_Mind

12-17-04, 05:59 PM
"Oh sorry, but from where I come from names aren't neccessary" "you can give me one if you like" she tilted her head to the side. "Other than that, there is nothing truly important about me, I am nothing particularly special, only my parents are special"
Devourer of Dreams

12-17-04, 06:20 PM
Who are your parents?
Sliver_Over_Mind

12-17-04, 09:21 PM
"My mother was a Half-celestial, my father was a Half-fiend, both were incredibly powerful hero's of light and darkness." "my mother went by the name of Elstia, my father by the name simply Mort." "my father charmed my mother with his powerful magic, and my mother, Elstia gave birth to me 9 months later." "my mother knew what she had to do, after giving me to a solar, she went to slay my father." "neither have been seen since". " I have never seen either of my parents, but both are called into high regard by light and darkness respectively".

((OOC: sry haven't posted in a while, my computer was having probelms, and then I got sick))

"I am familar with most kinds of magical devices, mostly devices that deal in holy or unholy power, particularly powerful ones. As for artefacts, I know all about several rather unique holy and unholy devices"
Devourer of Dreams

12-21-04, 05:18 PM
"Interesting... Could you tell me anything about these artifacts?"
Sliver_Over_Mind

12-28-04, 09:02 PM
"The highest amongst these are also quite famous, such as the infamous hand and eye of vecna, and St. Cuthbert's mace." "But also there is an axe, currently in possession of a minotaur, known only as the devil's axe, most people have never heard of it, considering it is only useable at it's maximum capacity by one of minotaur blood." "never have all it's powers been used, considering each time the wielder uses one of them, the axe itself illicts a mighty price from the wielder, the axe consumes part of his soul" "another fine example is the Budokan, a wooden sword blessed by the power of the eladrin." she looked straight at the shop keeper, "the final weapon I will tell you of is the most powerful sword to ever work for the side of good" "the Masamune, said to be blessed by the heavens themselves, this sword is so powerful it is said that only a true hero can wield it, no normal mortal can wield it, though only a mortal can wield it" "Only two beings have ever been known to wield this impressive weapon" "I would not suggest seeking out the Masamune, those not worthy of wielding it tend to... have accidents, yes thats the word, very very messy accidents"

a cloaked figure steps in, eyes glow from under the cowl and tow blades can clearly be seen on the newcomers belt. "do you have any poisons usefull against vampires? my people are currenlty plagued by the fould creaturessss."
Sliver_Over_Mind

01-04-05, 02:11 PM
the girl looked at the cloaked figure, reached into her cloak and pulled out a large flask of clear liquid. "first, what race of beings are you? I am just curious really, if you are Yuan-ti I don't really care, so don't worry about it."

she reaches over and profers the flask, "this is easy for me to make, you can have this for free".
