"They are simply the next to be harvested for Lord Nito." Drake paused and thought a moment, "there are a half dozen or so groups worth any mention. The Knights are one of these and they seek to cleanse Lordran of our Lord." Drake looked around at the other loyal Gravesworn, "we have already defeated them once in the Painted World, but they went into hiding. This time we will expel their advance on our Lord's tomb and then track them back to whatever hole the climbed out of and extinguish them forever."

"Interesting" Lethard muttered. He looked at the sky, now bright from a million stars and noted the position of the moon. "Bout time to wake her up." he said, getting up and walking ovre to Adra. Drake's eyes followed him closely, still not entirely trusting the man. He pulled out his own talisman, a beautifully crafted ivory and straw piece. Placing it against her forehead he muttered a few words of prayer and light surrounded the pair. He continued to chant and the light settled, seeming to be absorbed by Adra. He put his talisman away and sat the girl up before tapping her spine 3 times. A torrent of foul red and green liquid was expelled from her mouth as she gagged, ridding her body of the final traces of the wound as she woke. Lethard pulled a cloth from his coat and wiped her mouth clean. By this time Drake was at her side, almost throwing Lethard out of th eway in his rush to appraise her. "She's fine." sulked Lethard, pulling himself up.

Drake tried to check Adrasteia over but she brushed him off and stood up, "do you feel alright?" She moved about, uneasy on her feet for a few steps before answering, "I believe so." Drake watched as she stretched her legs and gained her bearings, "feel up for a walk down to New Londo or do you need to rest?" She quickly turned and glared at him, "I told you I'm fine."
Drake grinned and turned towards Lethard, "well it does appear I owe you. What is it you would like in return?"

Lethard's mouth slowly split into a grin. "Show me necromancy."

Re: User Covenants RP Thread
Drake paused deep in thought for a moment, he did not know the arts of necromancy himself and tended to stay far away from those practicing it. He also was unsure of how much to trust in this relative stranger. Drake made his decision, he would have to put his faith in Avrik to decide how to handle this matter for this was Avrik's area of expertise. "Very well then, while I personally cannot be of much assistance to you on this matter I believe Avrik will be more then happy to educate you." Lethard was visibly excited by the news, he nodded his head vigorously as he moved towards Avrik. As Drake watched he spoke quietly to himself, "Please Avrik I am trusting you to handle this with care."
Drake turned to address the group of Gravesworn, "Adrasteia and I will be headed down to New Londo to answer the summons from the DarkStalkers. You all may come with us or go in which ever direction pleases you at thsi time." With that Drake turned towards the stairs down to the ghost town of New Londo, Adrasteia following behind.

"Then it seems we must go to the catacombs. Rayne can you take Lethard there. make sure he doesn't die. I don't want to have to resurrect him."
Ranyne nodded simply, gestured for the healer to follow him. Lethard did so and jerkily got to his feet, excited at the possibility of seeing real necromancy.
"Wait" the healer directed his question at Avrik "where are you going?"
Avrik began to walk away. "I'll be gone for half an hour. I need to collect some bodies"

Lethard looked at Avrik leaving. Bodies were not things he liked created, they went against his goal. But he supposed if necromancy was to bring them back it would be ok. He turned to Rayne "Lead the way." he said, ginning happily.

As Drake entered the grand hall he was impressed by it's construction, "I appreciate the lengths you've gone to support the Gravesworn in this war, it is not your home the accursed Knights plan to attack yet you aid us anyway." Drake pauses to look briefly down at the table and the many maps and notes covering it, "this truly is a grand gesture, but before we get to business." Drake moves to the DarkStalker's seated positions and extends his hand, "Abel, how are you friend?"

Re: User Covenants RP Thread
- The Alliance:
- The alarm sounded, sentries were instantly alert. Ballistae were loaded and crossbows mounted on the wall for accuracy. Troop formations appeared through the archives marching to the front door, ready to repel invaders. The Dragonslayers assembled at the forefront, spears held ready, the Knights of Havel and Sunlit Knights covering their flanks. The seekers lined the upper aisles; supported by the mage knights they raised their catalysts ready to rain sorcery on intruders. The lifehunters had arrived.
They arrived in a group, 4 wide and 20 deep. Crossbows, ballistae and talismans followed the group, each targeting a separate part of the group showing the hours of training the knights in defence of their new home. At the front a group of 3 led them. The Wyrmhero walked in the centre, his armour freshly painted and resplendent in its colour. Ahhotep, his newest second in command, replacing Etraiu the deserter, walked on his left. His twin blades sheathed on his back. The crossbreed dragon Spurgun was on his right. The Dragon’s form raised mutterings among the assembled soldiers and even some Dragonslayers raised eyebrows at their brazenness.
The procession halted with the hand 5 metres from the Dragonslayers. Neither of the 2 sides had weapons drawn but the tension was easy to see. The 2 sides stared at each other for a minute until the Dragonslayers broke into 2 groups forming an aisle. Between them walked the Noble Knight’s command. Oscar passed through first in his golden armour followed by Lady Mildred in hers. Ser Allant in her brightly polished Astoran armour came third and Gabranth rumbled in forth, his rock armour shaking the floor with each step and Judgement hanging from his side.
“Hand” growled Oscar.
“Oscar” responded the Hand coldly.
The pair stared at each coldly again, the entire hall silent in anticipation. The Hand raised his hand and waved his ranks apart. The 2 outer ranks split off allowing the 2 inner ranks to move forward. A barely dressed woman led the groups, innocently twirling a massive scythe in her hands. It was then Oscar looked past the lifehunters and noticed who the centre ranks contained. Row upon row of men and women in the armour of knights made up the bulk of the lifehunter force. Each had a hood over their head but their armour made them immediately identifiable. Oscar was taken aback for a second, unbelieving of what he was seeing.
“I request your aid Oscar. I bring your knights taken prisoner back as an offering of goodwill.”
Oscar was silent for a time. The lifehunters were a sworn enemy. “What do you want Hand?”
The hand waved again. The barely clothed woman walked back into their ranks and pulled out a man dressed, unlike the others, in rags. With a flourish she pulled off the hood and Aeter stared back at Oscar. For the second time Oscar was speechless. He had
assumed Aeter dead after he had stayed behind to buy the knights enough time to escape.
“The Gravesworn must fall Oscar. I am willing to put aside your actions until they are destroyed.”
Oscar turned to his regimental commanders. One by one they nodded at him. He turned back to the Hand and stuck his gauntlet out. “Till the Gravesworn are destroyed.”
The hadn grasped his gauntlet “Till the tomb is cleansed.”

Re: User Covenants RP Thread
Standing quietly in the background, his usually stoic face etched with faint hints of disgust, stood a broad, dark skinned man, once gleaming steel armor covered in dirt and grime, a massive hooked blade, its red hue darkend by dry blood and marred by cracks, rested on his back. The only hint of the importance and trust once placed in him, still placed in him by some, was a brass crown, gleaming even in darkness. Its prongs extended outward around his face, as if rays of sunlight in the shadows in which he stood. He was banished from the land of the Lady to which he was sworn to protect, and his exile had not been kind, but he intended to honor his bargin. He had, to a fury that had spent hours echoing through the abandoned hall in Anor Londo that served as their base, forbidden the few who still followed him from coming, else they risked being hunted by the people in this very room. Though he would be facing his former allies, and fighting with hated enemies, he would not falter. He could only pray that he was doing the right thing, and that his men would follow his command.

I'm getting faster but *** I took forever to make some of the earlier posts in this thread. Just keep at it and you'll get better and learn to channel your characters better. Practice really is everything.
Side Note, I just wrote an awesome reply to Billy's last post and *** lost it to a browser error. ***!!!

Abel returned to his seat " I long to Restore this city"
As Drake moved to assume his seat he spoke, "And the Gravesworn will be there to aid you in that endeavor, once these Knights and their lap dogs have been dealt with." Drake took his seat across from the Dark Lord and motioned for his companions to join him, Adrasteia took her seat on his right with Wulf and Moon seated on his left.
After a moment Drake pulled the map of the Tomb of the Giants, his home, in front of him. It was beautifully illustrated, and much more detailed and accurate then similar maps found about Lordran. "This is impressive, besides the maps Avrik has provided for all Gravesworn I have never seen one so detailed. I couldn't imagine how you gained this much knowledge of the tombs." As he spoke Drake reached for a piece of charcoal and began filling in some blank areas on the map, "though you're missing a few important details." Drake shaded several spots and marked dangerous pitfalls, "while the Knights know little of the Tomb's layout they acquired detailed maps of the catacombs in our first battle back when the Gravesworn were young." He sat back and admired his work, "so they will know of all entrances into the tomb and we must prepare for that."
Wulf we are trying to not rush through this so we can give you a chance to get in! You've been hinting at discussing battle plans for some time!

"Yes we've found our skeleton hounds feasting upon the remains of scouts sent in to the Tombs." Drake showed a wide sinister grin under his hood, "so while they're knowledge of the perimeter is great they have learned little of the inside."
Drake paused and marked several points near the primary entrances to the tombs, "We will position bunkered defense forces at these points." Drake first pointed towards the entrance from Lost Izalith, "the Followers should choke off the route from Izalith, their demons and intimate knowledge of the area will prove the Knight's undoing there."
Drake then pointed at another spot on the map, "Our Red Hand will work with Pinwheel to secure the main entrance from the Catacombs. They are powerful magic weavers and the dead giants reanimated by Pinwheel can serve as the front line."
Drake paused and traced his finger to the last point marked on the map, "my concerns lie with the Ash Lake entrance, I believe your DarkStalkers would work best alongside Avrik's Ebon Hand working as a mobile force reinforcing any lines that faulter and striking at key persons. However I do not know who should defend the entrance from Ash Lake." Drake paused deep in thought, "we need Nsane of the POLG here to offer his thoughts on where they would be most effective."

A low, smooth voice floated from the fringes of the light.
"And the catacoumbs path directly to Nito? The coffin. Is it secure? I've never risked it myself, so forgive my ignorance."

Laplace bit back a scoff, but looked back at the map. He always disliked fighting in these wars, they always distract from his set goals. "Drake, I am aware of your skeleton archers. I assume they will be in the rear offering just support to the main force?"
