[*Neil hesitates a good couple of hundred yards away from the two figures. He was convinced that Julia would have come this way, certain that some unspeakable evil would have befallen her on this unforgiving path. Yet as he squints, eyes glimmering, into the gloom, he merely sees two men talking, aparrently in the midst of some kind of trade. He has no need for such business at the moment, although the need for supplies and equipment occasionally intrudes at the corners of his mind.*]
[*Julia is nowhere in sight. She must have left him behind, her fleet-footedness undoubtedly the result of her imminent romantic liason with the minstrel. She can probably handle hersef, he reasons, and the Gods only know what other-worldly curios she conceals in her knapsack to ward off assailants. Yet still his concern for her safety remains, offering him the strange sensation of another emotion he isn't supposed to feel. He curses under his breath, before offering a silent prayer - to whom, he did not know - that she would be kept safe from harm.*]
[*Rain begins to fall lightly through the canopy of leaves overhead. There is no point in returning to the inn. He finds a sturdy tree and, climbing up into the branches a few fathoms into the air, pulls a blanket from his haversack and settles down to sleep. His hand never leaves the pommell of the dagger on his belt.*]
[*A few hundred yards away, Nesty watches, momentarily puzzled as the two lights recede and disappear as suddenly as they had appeard. Shrugging inwardly, he returns to his discourse with The Ringmaster.*]

* ...which is abruptly interrupted as a small, hard missile hits Rob on the head, knocking him unconscious. The arrival of the hitherto unseen Hands putting away his catapault indicates the projectile's source. * [ModNote: Hands was last seen here.] Stupid mage. Can protect 'imself against all sorts of magic, but an unexpected stone floors 'im. Should we take 'im along too, De- Nesty? Deal: No, leave him. I don't think his Lordship would relish his company. He'll be all right soon enough. 'Ave you darkness-powdered the gel? Deal: I'll do it now. She's stunned, in those bushes. * Deal applies the powder, which does its task but has the side effect of reviving Julia, who begins to protest vociferously. * Shut it. * Ties Julia's hands behind her back with his ostensibly magic rope before putting a sack over her head. Begins, with Deal, to usher her towards the Dungeons, where this plot (as far as Deal, Hands and DG are concerned, at least) will continue, in the thread "New Guest". *

*As the trio near the portal into the dungeon the tempoaly blinded DG is still protesting sulkuly.*
<Nesty wispers harshly.>
"Shut up or what I did to Kully will seem like a simple banged knee compared to what I'll do to you."

*RMR's eyes spring open, he has a high recovery rate. His head is splitting and he feels a lump forming where a projectile hit, he gets up and vomits all over the ground. He then sees a large stone wetted with his blood. It's still fresh*
Rob: Where am I? I remember Nesty saying something den a lots of flashishes. Where ish he?
*Rob looks around but sees no sign of either Nesty or the thrower of the stone that struck him. Taking some time to gather his thoughts and stop everything spinning he resumes his walk to the boarding school, he doesn't make it the whole way, instead the spinning scenery is too much and he collapses just of the road where he awakens midday the next morning*

*At the time he awakes he saw something crawling near him. At first he was scared, but after he looked closely enough he saw what it was… It was Magnus!! [ModNote: Last seen here.] He was bleeding all over and was mumbling a name.* *whispering* “Nesty *cough* Nesty” * At that moment the ring master knew what happened. Nesty and the other men knocked him down on their way. They were scared if they would let him go he would told someone where they were heading.* *whispering* “Nesty *cough* Nesty” *Magnus passed out. Ringmaster looked a bit scared but he knew one thing. Nesty was fleeing… (OOC: this is like a book man, what a good story)

*As ringmasterrob opens an eye, he hears crawling, His head still hurts and he feels afraid. If it's one of Scareye's minions it could be the end of him. Despite the spinning he crawled towards the source, he didn't recognise the youg fellow due to the injuries, his mind suddenly twigged. It was the chap who had offered him help the previous night, he'd never caught the boy's name. As he leaned closer he heard him muttering;* “Nesty *cough* Nesty” *and once more he heard in more desperate tones* “Nesty *cough* Nesty” *With that the young mage passed out, Rob surveyed his injuries, they looked serious. He would have to figure out what had happened with Nesty later. Upon examining his robes he finds a membership pin marked "KK Kingdom Krew" and a few other of the mages possessions.* * Rob takes out a potion from his own bag and drinks it, his head clears and things stop spinning. His head is still badly bruised from the stone someone had hurled at him the previous night. He slings the unconcious mage over his shoulder after bandaging him slightly and heading into Wolfenden to find someone with the appropriate skills* (OOC: Good ideas here Magnus, but did you ask Nesty about this? his character is still with Lord fear so I don't see what he could've done to Magnus. Plus you shouldn't control my character's actions either. Continued in "A Healer and A Fight" in "The Marketplace")

*[Awaking to the sound of birdsong, Neil decends from his perch and spends a few moments stretching to relieve the inevitable stiffness brought about by his less-than-comfortable resting place. The storm has since passed, and it is developing into a clear, fresh morning. He lights a small fire and eats a plain breakfast of bread and bird's eggs, acquired from a nearby nest, washed down with several gulps from his water-bottle. He has been travelling for some time now, and will soon need to replenish his rations.]* *[Returning to the path which had seemingly swallowed Julia up the previous night, he sees no visible trace of the two men either. He looks one way, in the direction which Julia was heading, and then looks the other way, back to the village. He finds himself suddenly aware that he does not know what to do next. Julia is perhaps the only person in the realm who will be able to help him achieve his goal, and the sensation of having let her slip through his fingers galls him. Still, he takes some comfort in the fact that she is probably embroiled in a heated, lust-fuelled encounter with the minstrel at that very moment. Their paths will certainly cross again, he will just need to wait for a time when she isn't, well, otherwise occupied. He lets fly a loud laugh, which echoes through the forest, as though the trees themselves were in on the joke.]* *[Perhaps he will be able to get more answers back in the village, and at the very least he'll be able to meet some more of the locals - who, he hopes, will be slightly more accomodating than the stony-faced horde at The Crazed Heiffer. He sets off for the local marketplace, as the sun begins to break through the clouds overhead.]* [*Continued in The Marketplace: The Shadow Of Conflict.*]
