Botar 39 Share Posted May 23, 2013 "A man's corpse has been found in the farming and slum's district of Malinor!" wrote the heading on the news flyer in front of you, posted along with many other titles and notes looking for your attention. "The decrepit and decayed corpse of a male Dwarf or possible human has been found within the lower class home's district of the elf's great city. Current identity of the body is unknown, for any help identifying the body, please come to the sentinels main office to help solve this mystery!" You notice that the flyer in question is a few days old, and has been sitting out at the grand crossing, seeming to have been taken off its nail, put back up, crumpled and so forth, having been put through the ringer of the public's grasp. As you look at the rest of the flyer's and notices you hear a string of swears and grunts coming from down the road to the elf lands. "Come on ya hunk o' crap! Don't break now, onl'eh another mile or two!" the voice declared to himself and the wind. You look down the way to see a human male, kicking a average looking cart, seeming of quite worn quality, pulled along by a bored looking donkey. You decide to see what he is yelling about as you casually walk over, letting your curiosity guide you. "Agh! I swear I am going tah break ya down into fire wood a-" He shouts at the stopped cart, but stops short as he see's you walking over "Oh 'ello there! I did not see ya, sorry fer making a ruckas, as ya see this old bucket of scarp can barely hold ter'gether. Ah'n considerin' wat she be carrying, I can't afford her tah break tah bits." Out of curiosity you ask just what exactly he is transporting, and to this he responds with a smile and a dramatic wave of his hands "I be transporting tah deeeaddddd... whhoooooooo~" He says as he lets out a hearty laugh. You look behind the man and to the cart to see there is in fact a coffin, closed and hitched to the cart. You think to the flyer you saw earlier and you ask the man if it is the same body in question. "Aye it is, I picked him up this mornin from the elf hospital. Teh tell me teh poor bugger killed himself, drank some sorta poison er somethin. A shame really." You then ask if they ever found out who he was, your curiosity getting the better of you. "Aye teh did, has some man com' in, said he recognized some of his markins, and honestly from teh way he looked when I got hem, I got tah say that person has some strong eye's. Bloody animals and critters been nibblin on him something fierce." You ask the question again, trying to draw his attention back to the original thing you asked. "AH right right, his name. Sorta a odd on, it was B.. Bo.. Bo -somethin..." He thinks for a moment before stamping his foot and shouting "I remember now! Botar Blackrock was his name... some sorta docter fellow." He looks to you with a cocked brow and a smile's "Did ya know him or somethin?" (( so OOCly I meant to make this post a few months back but to make a long story short, finals computer exploding, real life and ect. stopped me from putting this out sooner, but still the question stands, Did you know him? )) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hex37 737 Share Posted May 24, 2013 *Nienna stares at the body grimly. She has seen many corpses over her lifetime, buried some, cremated others, even dissected one or two. Nienna's eyes narrowed. She wouldn't be desecrating this one, though. She didn't even know if she could bring herself to bury it.* "Yes... She replied. I knew him very well." *Nienna climbed into the cart with the man, regardless of his protests.* "Where are you taking him?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bircalin 332 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Eclipse, the tall figure blanketed by his ominous green robes and sharp black mask, watches over the cart from an isolated trunk of elder bark. The mouthpiece grill filters his slowed, broken breaths as his abyssal white eyes stalk the all-too-familiar corpse. A rare occurrence when donned in his 'night robes', he mutters in a muffled tone beneath his mask, feeling that none would be near enough to hear his true voice. "Why, Botar... What drove you..." Watching as the also familiar sight of Nienna heaves herself onboard, Bircalin relaxes his fists as his legs spring outwards, launching him towards a nearby trunk as his hands hurriedly clasp around the bark, one leap closer to the cart. He rises from his crouched position on the new perch, shuffling the short bow comfortably on his back with his free gloved-hand. "Unlike the empty promises of our time's kin, I will -not- forget you, old friend. May you rest in the halls of Urguan, the comfort of Malin and the love of Aeriel..." "Good hunting, Botar..."

Botar 39 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 "Aye, very well, so what was ya association with him? Old friend? Family? Yer his wife or sumthin?" He says as he manages to get the cart to move, heading down the road to the temple Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairn. 17 Share Posted May 26, 2013 *whips around unsteadily to face the cart driver, just as he begins to move away.* "Nay ser, b't ah'll beh damned if'n ah let a kinsman go unmourned by 'is fellows!" *Kairn piles onto the cart along with everyone else.* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hex37 737 Share Posted May 26, 2013 "Aye, very well, so what was ya association with him? Old friend? Family? Yer his wife or sumthin?" He says as he manages to get the cart to move, heading down the road to the temple *Nienna answers as she sees the dwarf board with her.* "I once worked with him, as a healer. To date, I've never been so humbled by another doctor, he was amazing. He had others talk to the children when he healed them, to make them less scared. That might seem like something silly to respect a person for, but it absolutely blew me away." *She gives a nod to Kairn as he boards.* "I won't see his like again for a long time."

Aedan The Bard 350 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Aedan sighs with a hint of melancholy, observing the ball and chain that are locked around his right ankle. He begins to think about his past, about people. Eventually, he remembers his best friend. As his thoughts slowly take shape, another breaks into his consciousness. "Where is Botar?" he asks himself, worried. He frowns as his cat purrs by his side. The thoughts are quickly pushed away, but the doubt remains...

But still mah heart goes out to ya, always harsh tah lose a friend" The man say's as the cart comes close and closer to the temple, only about half a mile away from it "I wonder if anyone else guna jump on in?"

Botar 39 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 The rest of the ride is uneventful as the cart comes to a stop at the temple, as the man goes to the back and pulls out the coffin, lugging it onto a smaller cart placed nearby and carrying it to a spot some distance away, a fresh grave dug by two young monks. The man grumbles " Bah, wishin some one help meh with this bloody thing " as he is pulling the smaller cart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hex37 737 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Nienna Huffs at the monks as she dismounts the carriage. She's always hated monks. "Not much help to be found. Even his own daughter is dead. Now, it's just you, me and the respectfully patriotic third one." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feller must had a neather of a life then, gota wonder.. what drove him to do this to himself? from what I herd about em he was not a bad sort." The man says as the other two monks depart back to their own duties, as he places the cart and the coffin next to the freshly dug grave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hex37 737 Share Posted June 3, 2013 "Driven mad by loss, I'd say. He might of realized that his job only delays death, and that no matter how hard he works, he can't save anyone. Not really, not forever." *Nienna kneels by the coffin, pressing two fingers against her lips, then placing those fingers on the coffin. She raises a single palm facing perpendicular to her chest, in a form of prayer.* Eventually, she begins to speak, words from another language flow from her mouth, and sound clear as crystal. "...Ciwe, Bortu'laureh. Ehire fiyem ito sul kina, llir. Lye llim'sae tenna omentae'yem." *Finishing her brief words, she looks up at the undertaker, giving him a nod. She waits for the man to lower Botar in.* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
