[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune noticed Perseus's mistake in language usages. Two in fact, but let it go. He had enough word fun for today. He nodded to Steel and felt something weird in his hair, he reached around it and pulled out...

A flower. A map. And the woman's shift key.

He shook his head and just motioned Steel to follow the way.

[Steel Samurai]

Sadly, Steel was blind, and therefore only detected a few slight fluctuations in Kitsune's aura. He sat there on his horse for a moment, and then said. "Well? The city's right over there." He pointed across the flatlands where a walled city could be seen, far in the distance. "Come on." He wheeled his horse and galloped off.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune motioned because of the power gained by the shift key. Now he could *fights* or *smack* or *punch*, something not many could do without the Shift key and...eight.

He *telepathically all Z like in some ultra unexplained way tells steel to lead the way* and followed.

[Ransom]

Perseus plunged down from the cloud level and spun down thudding roughly in the sand in front of Steel and Kitsune. They both stopped their horses, just to laugh at him.

He straightened up, pretending to be dignified, as he told them his report.

"We will reach the city by nightfall at our current speed. Damn those walls are huge."

They continued, the mounted companions going at a trot while Perseus glided leisurely above them.

They were now within 20 miles of the huge mass of Van'Duras' walls. The horses had slowed to a trot as they neared, and the sun was going down. "We should pick up our pace. The gates close at sunset." Suddenly, out of nowhere, a strange, tubular creature reared it's massive head from the sand. Steel's horse spooked and it sprang forward suddenly. Steel fell off and his his head on a rock. All became black.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune stared at it. "What the heck? Tubular? That's all? You know for a place named Van'Duras...you'd expect a wookie or something..."

[Ransom]

Obviously angry, tube-head lunged towards Kitsune, trying to suck one or all of his organs out of his body.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune realized something was wrong. A tubular monster going to suck on him? Now he was worried.

He threw the map at it's face. Randomly.

[Ransom]

The tubular Monster swallowed the map, and confused, spun around wildly, lunging accidentally at Perseus.

Perseus drew his knives quickly and slashed wildly at the creature.

He yelled to Kitsune amid the melee.

"Am i the only one who thinks this monster looks remarkably like a giant penis?"

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune was glad he threw the map rather than the shift key. But was disturbed to hear that comment.

"You didn't have to say that!" He said as he threw the sword to Perseus and turned around.

"You kill it. I'm going to take too much physical pain through images in my mind when I see you cut it, though." He said turning around to face the other way.

The sword spun wildy into the air, and sliced the thrashing creature right at the top of its head/body/whatever-else-it-could-be.
A giant round piece of flesh landed next to Steel's unconscious body.

The tubular monster writhed about bleeding from the top of its body wildly, until finally, it was still.

Perseus looked over at Kitsune with his mouth open.

"Yoou bloody circumcised it!"

[Mystic Kitsune]

"I didn't need to know that!" Kitsune said in disgust as he reluctantly picked up his sword.

He wiped whatever was on it on Perseus's wings. He noticed the map had come back out, with the words messed up due to the blood, saying "You suck"

...god why do they always relate this thing and sucking?

Kitsune kicked the remains out of disgust. A whitish fluid came out.

"Okay. That's just nasty, and doesn't help the situation much." He said stared awkwardly at the thing.

[GuardianNinja]

Hazaku walked up and over a small hill
"Hey I wanted to apologize for... WTF
Is that thing?!?!?!?" "You need any help
with that ?" Hazaku said while pulling
out some shurikens.

[Mystic Kitsune]

"It's fine. It's already dead. I hope."

"Your grammar improved. What happened?"

[GuardianNinja]

"Oh I cleared my head Btw I wanted to
apologize for going demon on you guys
I could've killed you sorry man"
"Do you want me to come with you and
help out with whatever you need dont worry
I've got everything i would need I wouldn't
be a bother.

[Steel Samurai]

Steel awoke suddenly, just in time to hear the ninja-boy talking. He got unsteadily to his feet. "Generally when someone says that, they end up getting into all sorts of trouble. And We," He paused and shifted the scabbards on his back. "don't need help." He turned to his horse, whose leg had been broken. With a sigh he straddled its neck and gripped its head with both hands. A sudden twist and snap, and it was over. "Come." He said to Perseus and Kitsune. "We need to get to the city gates before sundown if possible. As for you" He turned to Hazaku. "I hear there's a demon in Ikana you may wish to check out." He tossed the map which Kitsune had thrown at the Phallic Monster at the boy, then turned and began walking towards the vast walls of Van'Duras.

[GuardianNinja]

"Hmmp" Hazaku through his hands
together "really?!" *Halo remember-
-ance theme starts playing "I guess
I better go check it out" Hazaku yelled
"Speed Jutsu" and took off in a kick of
dirt forgetting to say good luck.

[Ransom]

Perseus followed behind Steel, waving a pleasant cheerio to Hazaku as he did.

As they reached the crest of the hill Van'Duras came in full view.

The walls were enormous, Spanning at least a mile at the front of the city, and because of its oblong shape at least two miles on either side. They were thick enough that 8 men could walk abreast upon it comfortably, allowing for a ridiculous amount of defensive advantage from the walls.
Five Van'Durian guards stood at their posts about every 100 metres, but this was obviously not the full extent of their defense force. Just a mere precaution. The Giant two-doored gate stood in the middle of the wall, the gargantuan iron doors no less indestructable then the rest of the walls when closed.
In the centre of the city stood the mighty palace of Bal'Duran, which was practically a fortress, and could be well defended from every side. They would use it for a second defensive line if the walls were ever miraculously breached.
With their large store of food and weapons, the city was practically invincible.

In front of the city stood a surprising array of lush farmland, and workers could still be seen rounding up their day's work.

The doors of the city were starting to shut lazily as the sun went lower and lower on the horizon.

Perseus cursed their luck.

"Damn our luck."

[Steel Samurai]

Steel, however, ignored the massive gates entirely and began working his way around the city, keeping what he thought was a set distance of around 500 feet from the stone walls. He stopped about a quarter of the way around and snuck closer, keeping low to minimize the chance of being spotted by the guards. He spoke to Perseus. "There should be a tiny stream coming out of a small iron grate in the wall and then turning immediately to the west . . . do you see it?"

Edited by Steel Samurai, 23 April 2007 - 07:21 AM.

[Ransom]

Perseus searched the wall with his sharp eyes.

"I see the grate. but no stream... it must be blocked off."

Steel cursed under his breath.

Perseus turned to both of them.

"How do you think we should get in then?"

[GuardianNinja]

Hazaku walked over a bit and saw them coming into
Van'Duras "Hey guys what you waiting for?" Hazaku
said while on top the wall "turns out the Fox Demon
Came this way" Hazaku said under his breath
"I just hope it didn't go into the labyrinth" Hazaku
turned and started to walk away from the others
into town.

[Steel Samurai]

Steel thought for a moment. "The walls. Come. No flying. Guards see." With that, he dashed forward, keeping low to the ground, and ran right up the the base of the walls. He ran his hands along their surface. Smooth as glass. Magick had obviously been an aid in the building of these. Steel withdrew from his belt some twine, attached to a small grappling hook. He whirled it around his head a few times and threw it unerringly up. The hook whipped around one of the merlon of the wall and held tight when Steel gave it a tug. He snapped the twine into a small crevice designed for the purpose in his gauntlets, and pulled himself up the rope, reaching the top in a matter of minutes. He waited until the guards had gone past in their never changing patterns, then pulled himself over the edge and slipped into the guardhouse. The twine could stay there until they left.

[GuardianNinja]

Hazaku stopped to think for a second
then continued hopped from the wall
to the ground and continued into the
city "I shouldn't worry if they need
help i asked them and they said no
thanks hmmp" Hazaku walked right
into town without a second thought
"were did he say to... WAIT i can
sense something" and Hazaku took
off into the complex of the city.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune caught up with Steel in the guardhouse.

"You know, it's not like they will care too much. It's not a prison or anything..."

[Steel Samurai]

Steel turned to Kitsune. "Need the practice." He slipped down the spiral staircase of the guard tower and into the city, pulling his hood over his head to conceal his features.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune followed. He felt like whistling, but that would be stupid. If you want to be ignored, you don't whistle.

A short fellow with hair at the height of 36 inches above his head popped out of a side alleyway. Bumping right into Steel and causing a static shock by the amount of hair he had, which gathered the electricity from the hair.

"Y WNN MSS WTH M MN?" He said while shaking his head in a silly manner to gather more static.

Obviously he had no vowels. He should be taught a lesson. He threw a punch at Steel.

[Steel Samurai]

Steel seemed not to notice the man, whose punch brushed the back of Steel's head and slammed into the brick wall beside him. The man yelled in pain. "LL GT Y, Y FRKN WRDS!" He stood there, rubbing his knuckles, and then disappeared back into the alley. Steel continued on in silence.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune just followed shaking his head.

Farther down their path, this time a man with no hair came out, pretty well built, and tall.

"u hrt my bud there, k? so im gona get u 4 tat"

This man had no sense of grammar. But, through deciphering, is a friend of the other guy's.

[Steel Samurai]

Steel ignored him and continued on. The grammatically incorrect one, infuriated chased after him "U F! WTF R U doin? LTP N000b!" Steel turned. The man seemed appeased for the moment, but the Steel spoke. It was one of his acts, the proud, sarcastic nobleman, Steel's most common character, and the one which fit him most closely as he might have been. "I'm sorry, Kitsune, did you hear something? It almost sounded like that turd over there spoke." The man's face was becoming red, barely containing his fury. "Oh well, must've been nothing." Steel turned and continued on his way.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune walked by, whistling. It was too late, he should have remembered that whistling does not help in anyway, just attracts attention instead of diverting it.

The man performed a headbutt to Kitsune, well tried to. He missed horribly and smashed his head on the floor. Well, he didn't look dead, but not conscious for sure.

He continued on, no whistling in mind.
