[22:31] * Jynaru ignores her stare and moves slowly within the shadows. It's probably just co-incidence, and even if it isn't, don't betray what you were doing. [22:31] (anything else? And why, pray tell, is Mnemon on a skiff in the freaking swamp?) [22:31] nah, not Mnemon herself. On second look, it just looks like her.... [22:31] She doesn't seem to be following you... [22:32] (What's she doing/where is she going?) [22:33] they seem to be stationary, watching.... [22:33] in every direction, swords drawn. [22:34] (THEY? What THEY? You mentioned no they. Who is they?) [22:34] there is other people on the skiff. [22:34] they make a ring around the side, watching from every direction. [22:34] (Ah. and who might these other people on the skiff BE?) [22:34] There are barrels and crates on the skiff. [22:34] Probably mooks. [22:35] "Do you see anything?" the mnemon asks. [22:35] It's Juniper! [22:35] * Jynaru is amused. Can I speak and stay concealed? [22:35] you remember that voice, even after all this time. [22:36] maybe. [22:36] dare you risk it? [22:36] (Performance roll to throw voice?) [22:36] diff 3 [22:36] WP Burn for autosux. [22:36] !ex 6 [22:36] Jynaru (6) 4, 2, 5, 2, 10, 3, Successes : 2 [22:37] "No, lady Juniper. But we see you." [22:37] "Jynaru?" [22:37] "The one and only." [22:37] She looks around, confused. [22:38] "Odd that we would meet again so soon." [22:38] "Pardon the stealth, but it's been a hard time on the island." [22:38] "But you, at least, have survived." [22:39] "Oh, the others are around. I'm just the only one stupid enough to walk into places like this." [22:39] "All of them? That is good to hear." [22:40] "Well, most. Attrition and all. If you'd care to follow the voice?" [22:40] Storyteller (12) 1, 5, 9, 3, 3, 8, 7, 8, 5, 6, 1, 5, Successes : 4 [22:40] !ex 12 [22:40] you can hardly see her face through the hair, but you can hear the smirk in her voice. [22:40] * Jynaru has circled aroudn to a 90 degree angle and tosses his voice from the way he came. [22:40] "Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not stupid enough to follow a voice that's not there." [22:41] * Jynaru carefully angles his shot and launches it skyward, the arrow thudding down on top of a barrel and quivering. [22:42] roll dex + archery [22:42] !ex 11 [22:42] Jynaru (11) 5, 9, 10, 1, 8, 6, 7, 6, 10, 4, 10, Successes : 9 [22:42] Storyteller (12) 5, 1, 8, 7, 3, 2, 9, 8, 6, 1, 7, 2, Successes : 5 [22:42] !ex 12 [22:43] Mnemon Juniper sees the arrow, but too late. Angrily, she points her sword above her and begins to chant. [22:43] * Jynaru winces. "Shit. I've GOT to get back in the habit of asking first and shooting later." [22:44] turn one. [22:44] turn two? [22:44] Storyteller : 1d10+9, 3 , Total: 12 [22:44] !roll 1d10+9 [22:44] init! [22:44] !roll 1d10+16 [22:44] Jynaru : 1d10+16, 4 , Total: 20 [22:44] you win. [22:45] * Jynaru dives out into the open, firing up Angry Predator Frenzy as he skims lightly over the ground, light flip forward carrying him onto the skiff where he stands in the middle of the boat beside mnemon, bow not drawn back with a chagrined expression on his face. [22:46] "Come on, now. I've spent fucking months here being tempted by Anathema and demons and shit. You can't expect me to just walk into the arms of whoever shows up in a creepy place looking and sounding like someone I knew." [22:46] * Romulus holds his sword at the ready but doesn't do anything yet [22:47] She looks at you with an amused look on her face. The spell finishes, and suddenly a great ball of light explodes from her hands, making the forest light as day.... a tendril of fire snakes around her as she smiles at you. [22:47] "Jynaru. You know you could easily be a ghost, as much as you think I am. Tell me then, who was your supervisor at Malkor's Guard?" [22:48] "You mean the official one?" [22:48] "The real one, the Ledaal." [22:50] "Ledaal Kian. Admittedly, a ghost should have known that as well." [22:51] "If you're the ghost of Jynaru, then at least you're the genuine one." [22:51] she smiles and lowers her sword. [22:51] "Good to see you again." [22:52] "And you as well." [22:52] "The cloud?" [22:52] "A little spell Tabius picked up." [22:52] "Impressive. Quite impressive." [22:53] * Jynaru shrugs. "We've all learned our tricks." [22:53] she cocks her head, smiling towards the cloud. [22:53] "So I hear." [22:53] "And... that would be the others." [22:54] She looks around at the troops, nodding. They lower their weapons. [22:54] * Romulus does as he's told [22:54] A mysterious, bookish person stands next to her. You don't think you've ever seen him before... but you can't be sure [22:55] * Jynaru shrugs it off. He can't know all of her personal staff, now can he. [22:55] Junipers lips seem to move but no sound comes from them. [22:55] the cloud approaches! [22:56] "I must apologize for my lack of manners, lady Juniper. I've been too long from civilized society." [22:57] "It's understandable, Jynaru. I can't begin to imagine what you've been through. Such an empty place." [22:57] ? [22:57] (Yeah.)
