<Teiglin> (sorry, there is a story line though, I'll see you all on Saterday or late friday

* Sphinx hears something in the trees not far from where he is
* Teiglin (huggles her big sis, elvy elvy elven, the silent vala(who has made a name for him
self) and draco who has returned
<Teiglin> (nights and cookies to all)
* Menel turns her head slightly to look over her shoulder. She glances at Sphinx, then back
to the ents
<Maekelor> (bye Teiglin luv ya)

* Sphinx (gives Teiglin a PDH)
<Teiglin> (tyty *eats it muchhly ;D)
* Sphinx looks over at Menel
* Teiglin (qofmkarin@81.phoenix-21-23rs.az.dial-access.att.net) Quit (Quit: And so ends qofm,

wrath O.o)
<Sphinx> As much as I hate to do this, there is something more pressing a nearby. Another is
here
<Menel> Yes, I too can feel the presence.
* Menel grips Ruin's hilt and points the tip of the blade at her foot
* Sphinx walks slowly towards the area where he heard the noise
* Maekelor looks at the deep wounds around her ankles and wrists. Her body suddenly feels the
effects of her previous captivity. The fear and excitement of escape had banished it from her
mind, but now it is all she can do to keep herself aware of ehr surroundings. Her vision begins
to grows dark... a faint voice is heard, but the past few days proove too much for her and she
sinks to the ground
* Sphinx sees someone fall to the ground
* Menel stands straight and watches Sphinx, glancing back to the ents every now and then
* Sphinx rushes over to the person and begins to dig in his pack. He finds a smaller bag that
he keeps all his medicinal equipment in
<Sphinx> Menel, she
<Sphinx> (scratch that please)
<Sphinx> Menel, she's hurt
* Maekelor has fallen partly into the road. She is no longer hidden - and there is a stranger
nearby - but she can do nothing bug lay where she has fallen and gasp for breath
* Sphinx takes a small bottle of liquid out of the bag. He then takes a cloth, and wraps it
around the wounds
* Menel sheaths Ruin, grabs her bag from Sereg's saddle and runs over beside Sphinx. She kneels
beside him and gets out some wraps and herbs
<Sphinx> This is going to hurt a little
* Sphinx pours the liquid on the wounds
<Maekelor> (brb)
<Sphinx> (pause for a minute okay)
* Menel begins to treat the wounds on her wrist
<Menel> (k)
<Sphinx> I think this is a good rp
<Menel> yah
<Sphinx> Although I kinda wanted to cross swords with Teiglin
<Menel> Heh, maybe tomorrow night
<Maekelor> (back)
<Sphinx> (start the rp back up
<Sphinx> )
* Menel wraps the wounds on the stranger's wrists
* pippity (Snak@adsl-66-141-252-123.dsl.kscymo.swbell.net) has joined #rpg
* Maekelor turns her head slightly to watch the strangers but no sound escapes her lips as
her wounds are dressed. She does not resist.. she hasn't the strentgh to, but her heart
beats more wildly as the cloths bind her wounds. She feels trapped again.
* Sphinx treats the legs on the stranger, but did not bring very much healing equipment
<Sphinx> (hello pippity
<Sphinx> )
* Sphinx pulls out a vial of miruvor, his only one
<Sphinx> Drink this
* Menel puts her bag between her and Sphinx so he will have access to her medicine also
<pippity> (hey all)
* Maekelor 's dark brown eyes stare blankly ahead as the vial is lifted to her lips. A
shudder escapes them, and she stiffens
* Sphinx has her drink about half the vial
* Menel wraps the last of the stranger's wounds on her arms and wrists
<Sphinx> We need to start a fire. She can't be left alone
* Maekelor chokes on the fluid, but she has tasted worse - much worse. She feels some
strength returning and manages to pull her wrist away from Menel. Her other hand grabs at
the bandage to remove it as if it were instinct
<pippity> (can I jump in somehow, or are you guys completely alone somewhere in the middle
of the woods hehe)
* Thalion (elven_warr@216.158.74.35.dragonbbs.com) has joined #rpg
* Sphinx is shocked by his own compassion. He never considered himself a hero
<Thalion> (sorry)
<Maekelor> (ew
)
<Sphinx> (You could jump in Pippity. We are directly on the road. Though why a hobbit would
be on the road I don't know
<Sphinx> )
<Maekelor> (why would pippen be on the road lol)
<Thalion> (Lol)
<Sphinx> (Hold the phone)
<Sphinx> (I think I am seeing double)
<pippity> (Lol)
<Thalion> (I am waiting for my name to go away..)
<Sphinx> (Menel)
<pippity> (because... I get around what road?)
<Thalion> (ghost..whatever..)
<Thalion> (yah)
<Sphinx> (The main road leading to Isengard. We are not just out in the middle of nowhere
<Sphinx> )
<Sphinx> (But I like Menel)
<Maekelor> (she'll change back when it goes)
<pippity> (maybe I was saying hi to Ents and stuff lol)
<Sphinx> (who knows)
<Thalion> (..)
<Thalion> (yah..)
* Sphinx gathers some nearby twigs and digs in his bag for a tinderbox and flint
* Sphinx begins to make a fire
<Maekelor> (am i still in the road?)
<Maekelor> (lol)
* Menel (elven_warr@216.158.74.205.dragonbbs.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
<Sphinx> (Okay, we are a little off the road)
* Thalion puts the rest of the things back into her bag
* Thalion is now known as Menel
<Maekelor> (some caretakers i was going to say)
* pippity rides up on a pony towards the smoke/fire
<pippity> What's going on here?
* Menel glances up at the rider
<pippity> (you don't have to glance too far up LOL)
* Sphinx ignores the small hobbit, he does not wish to engage into conversation. And hobbits
are far to inquisitive anyway
* pippity waits patiently for a reply
* pippity clears his throat
* Maekelor coughs and a faint moan escapes her lips but no other sound is heard from her besides
her labored breathing as her eyes follow the strangers cautiously
* Sphinx takes out a little waybread and breaks it in half. He then proceeds to prop the wounded
person against a tree. He gives her the small piece of bread
* Menel returns to packing up her medicine and such. Sereg comes walking over and she hangs
the bag on the saddle horn
<Sphinx> *to himself* What has happened to you
* pippity looks at Menel with concern
<pippity> Do you need help my lady?
* Sphinx is reminded of a person just like her. A women holding a child, two arrows piercing her back.
Two of his arrows
<Menel> I'm fine.
<pippity> (oops, stupid typo, i mean Maekelor)
* Sphinx shakes away memories of the past. Now is not the time, he thinks
* Menel returns to the fire. She takes a seat across Sphinx and the woman. She
stares into the fire, deep in thought.
* Maekelor ignores the food as her her strentgh seems to be slowly returning.
All her attention is turned to the bands on her wrists.. she can not yet
move enough to reach the ones that bind her ankles.
<Sphinx> You should leave those. Your wounds must be given time to heal
* pippity gets off his pony and walks up to Maekelor
* Maekelor 's fierce eyes flash with panic
<pippity> What is the matter with her? Someone speak to me Do you not know who I am?
* Sphinx sees the panic in her eyes
* Maekelor looks quickly up at the man before her
* Menel thoughts are broken as Sphinx talks. She looks up at them
<Sphinx> I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE
* pippity glares at Sphinx
* Sphinx tries to calm the woman
* Maekelor starts and looks quickly for an escape
<Sphinx> It is alright, you are in no danger here
<Sphinx> (This guy is not near as friendly as Draco)
<Maekelor> (lol i noticed heeheh)
* Menel stays where she is. She feels if she went over to try to comfort her, she
would just feel more trapped
* pippity backs away from Maekelor slowly, so she does not feel threatened
* Sphinx backs away slowly. This person is like a cornered animal, the most
dangerous kind. He continues to try to calm her
<pippity> (that's cool I'm just playing along witih ya)
<Sphinx> You are in no danger here
* Maekelor calms a bit.. she understands the strangers words and suddenly realises she has
no reason to mistrust him
* Sphinx lays his sword on the ground
<Sphinx> Now, with your leave, I need to treat your wounds
* pippity looks to Menel, giving up on Sphinx for any answers. Who is she, and what is wrong?
* Menel keeps her eyes on the two, We do not know who she is. No wis not the time for questions.
* Maekelor lowers her gaze and relaxes her strong limbs
<Menel> (now is*)
* Sphinx senses a stength in this woman, and something else, yet what it is he cannot tell
<pippity> You just found her here? All alone on the road? *pauses* My God..
* Sphinx begins to treat the wounds with the Menel's herbs
* Menel snaps, Hush.
<Sphinx> (Okay guys, I need to leave in a couple of minutes
<Sphinx> )
<Maekelor> (ok)
* pippity frowns at Menel and keeps quiet for once
<pippity> (awww)
<Sphinx> (Pip, she is not the one to turn too for friendly conversation)
* Sphinx works at healing the woman for a few more minutes before pure exhaustion hits him
* Sphinx walks over to Menel
<Sphinx> Can you take over from here, I need to rest
<pippity> (That's okay my char just found that out the hard way, it's great
I wouldn't have known that before she snapped at me.. perfect)
* Menel looks up at Sphinx
* Menel nods
* Maekelor relaxes more as does her breathing
* Menel gets to her feet and walks towards the woman. She sits a few feet
from her, watching over her
* pippity eats an apple from his bag, crunching loudly
* Sphinx leans against a tree, and lays his hat over his head. He drifts off
into sleep quickly, suffering
from pure exhaustion. His last thought before he goes falls into a dreamless
slumber are This would be my luck.
* Sphinx wakes a little from his sleep at the sound of the apple
<Sphinx> Quiet
* Sphinx drifts back to sleep
* Menel flashes a quick glare at the hobbit
* pippity gulps down his peice of apple and tries to eat quietly
<Sphinx> *last thought before sleep* As if my luck isn't bad enough, now hobbits
<pippity> (LOL)
<Sphinx> (Okay, I have to leave, but this I believe has merit, so let's attempt to continue this tommorrow,
okay)
<Menel> (alrighty)
* Maekelor turns her attention to the bread on the gound beside her while keeping a cautious eye on the
woman. She lifts it to her chapped broken lips and sighs as it is the first bit of food she has had in a while
