On The Path.. to nowhere

[Midnight]

*The womens gaze went from the strange sounding man and the women named Raven, her knuckles turning slightly pale as her grip tightened once more on the stone to be ready to throw it.*

Where are these others you speak of?

*She directs the question hesitantly to wards the strange man trying to reign in the urge to suddenly scan the surroundings.*

[Suh Wok]

"Well, re have a history. Miss Ray-ven has been stuck in a twisted vehsion of th"

[Raven]

"I think we can spare the lady the lesson in life history. If your intentions are as honorable as you say, you will not come after me."

*At this, Raven turns and runs deeper into the woods*

[Midnight]

*The woman looks after Raven as she runs off deeper into the woods, leaving her feeling torn and unsure how to react as she eyed the strange man warily. There seemed to be a reason for Raven to have run off that was caused by the strangers appearance and brief talk, though seemed the book was either of some financial or at least knowledge value. Though such did not gain her interest, she did some how feel as if she had been brought into the trouble seen as she had thrown the rock that had caused Raven to be found.*

Urmmm....I guess I no longer need to be here.

*She half mutters under her breath but then turns and walks in the way she had been coming wondering if she could catch up with Raven.*

[Suh Wok]

"Wait"

*Suh Wok calls after the stranger*

"I would talk with you.We have not been properly introduced."

*Strangley.. Suh Wok seems to have dropped the Chinese accent, and is speaking in clear words*

"If you have any intention of going after her, know this. That book is the key to a very dangerous position."

[Midnight]

*When the stranger first calls out she does not turn nor pause in her steps but when his accent seemingly drops she turns around her gaze narrowing once more on the stranger. Not trusting some one that chops and changes something that can be so vital so easily.*

I doubt introductions are really truly needed in this circumstance mister.

*She keeps a tight grip on the stone as she turns once more again heading back along the path she had come from ready tot hrow the stone if required.*

[Suh Wok]

*Suh Wok shouts after her*

"The book can cause great instability!"

"Damn."

*Suh Wok turns in the diretion Raven went, and attempts to follow her*

[Midnight]

*The woman turns her head slightly in the direction of the man and Raven cursing under her breath before picking up speed then turning sharply into the woods. Trying to see in her mind where Raven would of ended up if she kept going on and telling herself off for getting herself involved in something that was not her business but now some how seemed to be.*

[Raven]

*Making the most of her brief head start, Raven decides to find a good place to hide for the immediate duration. She could climb a tree, but if she did and was discovered.. escape would be hard. A cave, or some hollow tree... best now to keep running and focus on the path ahead.

Clearing and ducking around trees, Raven hears the voice of a newcomer.. can't be Suh Wok or the lady.. the voice was too clear. Regardless, it might just buy me more time.

Raven continues running, until her foot hits something decidedly wooden, and decidedly not strong enough to support a full grown woman wearing armour and weaponry. With a loud CRACK and other accompanying noises, the wood gives way beneath her, and she falls....


about three feet, before her bow snags on a piece of the wood that remains. Clinging desperately onto her bow, Raven now has to think of her options.

The wood will eventually break, so she needs to lose some weight. Unfastening her pouch (Containing many of her ropes, hooks, etc) she sighs and drops it. Listening, it can be heard bouncing off the walls.. stone walls... and then a splash. So this is probably on old abandoned well then.

The book.. where is the book.. ah. It is caught on my chest plate. Looks lodged enough for now...*

[Midnight]

*As for the woman she continued to move through the woods for a while at a more leisurely pace than what she had started to,pausing a few minutes when she had heard a loud, clear voice. Hiding amongst some trees a moment though while she waited she heard what seemed to be thumping in the distance then a loud splash though at least there was no actual scream which could be a good sign.*

*Moving out of the little alcove of trees she ran in the direction of the sounds rushing past the person talking to some small crowd gathered in the woods though she thought that rather peculiar but then her day so far had not exactly been normal*

*She picked up speed then suddenly stopped as she suddenly saw Raven below her, having to dig her toes into the ground and throw her weight back to prevent herself falling where Raven had.*

You should really be more cautious , especially when you are traveling through lands you obviously seem to have no idea about.

[Raven]

"yes, as if I really thought that the chances of me finding possibly the ONLY structurally unsound abandoned old well in the entire forest, were really that high."

*The wood gives way a little bit, and Raven bounces lightly off the wall*

"Allright allright. Help me up will you?"

[Midnight]

*The woman shakes her head slightly down to Raven before looking around the area, the old well belonged to a old farm that obviously had long since been abandoned hence the poor weels state. Luckily old rope still hung from the top as well as a small empty bucket. Unfastening the rope fromt he bucket and throwing the bucket into the distance she tied the other end of the rope to a near by tree and then started to lower the free end into the well, keeping a tight grip on it as she let itdown the first foot then the second and then the last.*

Actually there are probably dozens of abandoned wells around here, and every step can lead you into trouble if you do not watch wear your going. Especially when you were wearing such heavy equipment. You may as well go drown yourself in the nearest lake you see from the start wearing that!

It may offer you protection but can bring it's own levels of danger and trouble.

[Raven]

*Raven reaches for the rope, and uses it to get her high enough to grip the surface*

"Hey, you don't have to tell me. I have lived in these dungeons for ten years. heck, I battled Lord Fear for most of those."

*Raven contiunes pulling herself to the surface*

[Midnight]

*The woman tries not to snort, turning it quickly into a cough while keeping a tough grip on the rope winding some of it slightly around her wrist even when Raven pulls up to the surface.*

Well then you must of missed the news of late. Lord Fear does not seem so involved in the ways of this realm as much as he once was and things change. Obviously or you would learn that unless your going into battle, such armor is pretty much useless. Lord Fear fights with magics that such armor would be pretty much useless against unless magical itself.

*She presses her feet a little firmer into the ground.*

[Raven]

*Raven finishes climbing out of the well*

"True, but Goblin Fodder is the last thing I want to be.. and well, I have only come into this area of late."

*Raven stops, bends down and picks up her bow from the well*

"Well then, I guess this puts me in your debt."
