This page is intended to be for Neutral players or those that wish to hire a mercenary.

(Art was done by J.R.R Tolkien)

This place is set up as a camp, both men and women offer their services, for a price, to other travelers.
The smell of camp fires fills the air. These people travel a lot as they need to to take advantage of some of the "services" they offer.
The feel of a desperation for life clings around the camp. You have the feeling that their unity is only brought on for security purposes.
Will you turn away or do you wish to hire a henchman?
This camp is in the woods.


The Tower of Seletar


The Woods of Semedia

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "Who are you?" She managed in a strangled whisper, "why are you helping me?"

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "We help any. Now rest." He replied as he too healed her.

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "Magic won't work... T'suba made sure of that as... a parting gift." She closed her eyes tiredly, "Tasueran..." She thought about the farm.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "Than we do this the old fashioned way.." He started to mix a potion.

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "I... have to get back to the farm... Tasueran will be worried..." She mumbled softly.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "You aren't going anywhere. You need rest and a chance to heal."

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "I don't want him to worry..."

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "Where is this farm? We could send a message."

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "The outskirts of the city... but... the tower is closer... maybe someone else could go..." She winced slightly.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "The witches tower?"

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "The tower of Seletar..." She mumbled.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "I'll go." He handed the potion over to another who started working on it. Then he left.

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "Thank you..."

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "Drink this." A woman said helping her swallow the potion.

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: Raven forced herself to swallow despite her throat's desire to remain closed and the nausea that twisted her stomach painfully.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: A sooting feel swept through her as the potion began to heal her.

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: She sighed, "Thank you... ma'am..." She managed.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "Just you rest now." She replied

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "No complaints there..." She released a strained laugh.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: The woman looked around waiting for word. After awhile Raven's rescuer returned. "He has been informed."

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: Raven nodded slowly in thanks.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: Tasueran enters after awhile, and sits next to her. "Are..you all right?"

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "I will be eventually..." She gave a strained grin, "I ended up meeting with T'suba again..."

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: he grimaced and looked worried. "She will pay."

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "Don't worry... I didn't lose." She said.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "What condition did you leave her in?"

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "I'm not too sure... when our attacks collided she vanished... but I'm more than sure that she was injured pretty badly as well."

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "I hope so..."

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "Wish I could have avoided the confrontation nonetheless..."

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "So do I.."

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "My mind's been really fuzzy- how long was I gone?" She asked.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "Several days..."

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "Oh my..." She brought a hand to her head, "Really?"

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "I am afraid so. I was really worried."

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make you worry..."

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "That's what children do." He laughed. "I am glad you are safe now."

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "Hm..." She smiled softly, "How's the farm been in my absence?"

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "We have two new workers."

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "That's good..."

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "you should rest." He said as he looked at her.

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "I know..." She sighed, "But it's kind of hard to really rest in a place that you don't know..."

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: "I will watch you."

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: "Thanks..." She said, closing her eyes.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: Tasueran sat back keeping watch

2007-03-12 [Ravendust]: She drifted off to sleep slowly.

2007-03-12 [Silver Moon]: her rescuer left them in peace

2007-03-14 [Ravendust]: She awoke after a small while, for a moment unsure as to where she was.

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "How do you feel Raven?"

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "Much better..." She said.

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "I am glad. What did you actually do?"

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "What do you mean, what did I actually do?"

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "To our aunt..When she attacked you."

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "I fought back with every ounce of power I had."

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "Was there a particular spell?"

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "Spell? I don't think so..." She said uncertainly.

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: He shook his head in confusion. "As long as your safe."

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "Mm..." She said softly.

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "You are safe, I am sure for now."

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "That I know," She said, sitting up.

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: Tassueran hugged her gently. "I am glad you are."

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: She was surprised for a brief moment before she hugged him back, "To be honest I kind of scared myself for a while there..." She murmured.

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "How?"

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "It was like I was struggling for control over my own body... nothing like when T'suba used her mind control..."

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "Like you where another person?" Asks in concern

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "Yes." She nodded.

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "You may have the ability of a berserker."

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "What's a berserker?"

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "A man or woman, when in the heat of battle go into a killing frenzy. They feel no pain, and become stronger at this ptime, sometimes they will die on their feet as a result. In severe casses they have turned on friends and killed, they have no control of their body, or thoughts in some cases, while in berserker mode."

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "You think that that might be what it was then?" She asked slowly.

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "It sounds like it.."

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "How would I know for sure though?"

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "There are tests....but they are dangerous."

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "How so?"

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "They are seduations in which the one being tested is placed in life threatening situations. They try to bring the berserker out."

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "I see."

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "it usually results in the death of the one being tested."

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "That's not so bad... especially not if it helps to protect friends in the end."

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "It's dangerious for them too... The usually place them in the vicinity, to see what happens."

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "Oh..."

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "Your not thinking of...trying it are you?"

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "I would want to know." She said.

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: *Sighs* "Are you sure?"

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "Yes."

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "I could...create one.." Looks stressed out.

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "alright."

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "When?" Looks thoughtful.

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "It doesn't matter, as soon as possible."

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "Are you healed?Are you to full health?"

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "Mm..." She nodded.

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: "I will go prepare. You must exercise your mind and body." He said leaving.

2007-03-15 [Ravendust]: "Alright..."

2007-03-15 [Silver Moon]: After a half hour or so, he returns. "Are you ready?"

2007-03-19 [Ravendust]: "Yes," She nodded to him.

2007-03-20 [Silver Moon]: "Than follow."

2007-03-20 [Ravendust]: She stood up, "Okay."

2007-03-20 [Silver Moon]: He led her outside
**********************************************************

2007-03-20 [Ravendust]: ((where is outside? Is it still here or do we move?))

2007-03-20 [Silver Moon]: (Here sorry)    Tasueran leads her to an enclosed training yard. "Are you certain you want this?"

2007-03-20 [Ravendust]: "Yes," She nodded firmly.

2007-03-20 [Silver Moon]: "A..all right. Than go in." He said uneasily.

2007-03-20 [Ravendust]: "It'll be fine," She said softly, slipping inside.

2007-03-20 [Silver Moon]: He closed and locked the gate. Raven was than plunged into darkness. She could sense that she was not alone.

2007-03-20 [Ravendust]: She closed her eyes, standing silently where she'd entered for a moment so that she could get her bearings.

2007-03-20 [Silver Moon]: something slammed into her and dug claws into her legs

2007-03-20 [Ravendust]: Her heart leapt into her throat, and almost immediately instinct took over as she brought her fist to it powerfully.

2007-03-20 [Silver Moon]: The thing released her snarling in pain.

2007-03-20 [Ravendust]: She took a few steps forward, eyes still closed. (Agh, gotta go...)

2007-03-20 [Silver Moon]: She heard rustling as something prepared an attack

2007-03-21 [Ravendust]: Her head snapped in the direction of the sound, and she balled her hand into a fist, preparing to counter-attack should something leap out at her.

2007-03-22 [Silver Moon]: something from the front and back attacks at the same time, knocking her off her feet.

2007-03-22 [Ravendust]: "Oof..." She exclaimed and almost automatically she released a burst of magic from her entire body, knocking whatever it was back that had attacked her.

2007-03-22 [Silver Moon]: A snarling sound came from the darkness, several things rushed her at once.

2007-03-23 [Ravendust]: She stood still, trying to pinpoint the attack.

2007-03-23 [Silver Moon]: She felt something attack from the sides, and back.

2007-03-23 [Ravendust]: She lashed out almost immediately, her heart hammering in her chest as she attacked almost thoughtlessly.

2007-03-23 [Silver Moon]: The attacks stoped, and the far door opens. "Raven.....come out now.."

2007-03-23 [Ravendust]: She blinked, "Is it over?" She asked cautiously.

2007-03-23 [Silver Moon]: "For now....we should talk.."

2007-03-23 [Ravendust]: She made her way over to the door silently.

2007-03-23 [Silver Moon]: Tasueran looks at her with worry.

2007-03-23 [Ravendust]: "What is it?" She asked, noticing his look.

2007-03-23 [Silver Moon]: "Your not a normal berserker.....your a soul berserker..."

2007-03-23 [Ravendust]: "And what is that?"

2007-03-23 [Silver Moon]: "One who ........"Shakes head.

2007-03-23 [Ravendust]: "Please tell me." She said pleadingly.

(Gee, thanks, leave me with a mysterious answer :P)

2007-03-24 [Silver Moon]: "One.....who uses soul energyu to destroy those around them."

2007-03-24 [Ravendust]: "Oh..." She said simply/

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: *Looks worried*

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "I'm guessing that it's worse than a normal berserker?" She said softly.

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "Y...yes." Sounds reluctant at admitting it.

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "Please, you've got to explain it to me..." She said.

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: *Sighs, an motions for her toset.* "There are the normal berserkers, who get lost in blood lust during battles, they have been known to kill there own.

Than....there are those who are Soul berserkers...they have been thought to be extict. They are more akin to animals...they have little or nothing to do with humans.They use the soul energy of those around them and turn it back on them, destroying their enemies, .......they also are able to key in on the soul of their enemies and pinpoint where they are...like you did during the test..."

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "So how is it worse?" She asked as she sat.

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "They...have a tendency to take the soul energy of those around them.....even when they don't mean to."

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "Oh..."

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "Raven.....we must find someone to help you control it..."

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: She nodded, "But how will we find someone?"

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "I....don't know."

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "Is there anything I can do to... prevent it happening before we can find somebody?"

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "I haven't heard of any..."

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "I see..."

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: *Hugs her like a father* "We will find out a way to help you.*

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "I know..." She said softly. "I just... I don't want to hurt anybody because of it..."

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "I know...."

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: She sighed softly.

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "Have any ideas?"

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "No... do you think it would be better if I maybe lived in seclusion for a while or something?"

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "Where?I..don't know if it would help.."

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "I don't know..."

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "Do...you want to take care fo the farm while I search?"

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "I wouldn't mind taking care of the farm, I adore all of the animals..."

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "I know. Will you be safe?"

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "Yes..."

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: *Hugs her close and hands her a dagger with gems in the hilt.* "I will do what I can, good luck."

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "Same to you, stay safe." She murmured.

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: He heads away

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "Goodbye..." She murmured after him.

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "Take care."Than he was gone.

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: She watched where he'd disappeared for several long minutes in silence.

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: all went quiet except for the mercinaries moving about

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: At last she looked away from the spot, "Stay safe..."

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "Are you all right?" A young boy asked coming out of a tent

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "Fine... thanks." She said softly, "Just... a bit worried."

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "Oh....can I help?"

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "Probably not unless you know where I can find a sould berserker... or at least someone who knows how to help in the matter..."

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: *Looks frightened*

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "I'm sorry... I was just kidding." It was worth a shot...

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "Oh...ok..."

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "I should probably go..."

2007-03-25 [Silver Moon]: "All right..bye."

2007-03-25 [Ravendust]: "Goodbye..." She said, walking slowly into the woods.
