A Map
By Andryss
From the Scrolls of The PRC
*Andryss
gathered her new runebooks from her bank box and set out to find unmarked
runes so that she could fill them with her favorite and most visited
locations. The shops in Moonglow were sold out, so she headed for the
bustle of Britain. After waiting for the merchant to restock his supply,
she made her purchase and headed back to Moonglow. The bag was heavy,
and she was eager to drop off the extras that she wouldn't be needing
right away.*
*Moonglow had been quiet all evening, and she felt no trepidation at
travelling alone. The other Wolves were on the prowl, seeking information
on the drow, but she knew they were going to be in and out of the city.
She would be safe.*
*She cast recall to the Moonglow gate, thinking that she would take
the runes to Jennae's home in Felucca rather than crowding her bank
with them.*
*Appearing at the gate, she was about to step through the blue orb,
when suddenly a woman appeared, swinging her broadsword at Andryss without
a word. At first sight, Andryss knew her to be DRO.*
*Andryss jumped back, her reactive armour saving her from the biting
edge of the sword, while she gathered her wits about her. She was not
well practiced at using her magery to harm others, but her life being
threatened, and it being only one person, she chose to stand her ground.
This was, after all, her city!*
*While she tried to remember what she had been taught, the drow hesitated.
Andryss quickly cast a spell to curse the woman. Panic began to set
in as she tried to remember what she should do next... With shaking
fingers, she chose explosion as the drow ran back toward the moongate
and was about to follow it with an energy bolt... Her face paled when
suddenly two more DRO appeared out of the gate and began to attack her.*
*Outnumbered, and feeling the effects of their attacks, Andryss pressed
cloth to one of her wounds as she began to run for the city and the
safety of the pack... But her bandage was slipping off, and everything
she had been taught seemed so confused. Their spells were following
her, and she was only moments from certain death. There was only one
thing she could do. She ran straight through them, and into the moongate...*
*From the relative safety of Felucca, Britain, Andryss staunched the
heavy flow of blood from a deep gash to her thigh. When her head had
cleared, she cautiously made her way back to Moonglow to seek the pack
and tell them what had happened.*
"We chased them out of Moonglow," asserted Reinhardt, "They
came to battle VOW, not us, but we removed them anyway."
"They attacked me at the moongate..."
*Reinhardt suddenly noticed her state. The drying sweat on her face,
the ripped shirt and skirt which hid the bandage that was leaking blood
onto the material. Without more than a look at the other Wolves, he
had them assembled and ordered Andryss to take them to DRO territory.*
*The sandstone was empty, but the group noticed on the front step that
someone had left a map. Whether on purpose, or by accident had yet to
be determined.*
