The Flying Cleric of River's Rest
Sometimes being young just isn't easy. Sometimes it is downright frustrating. Sometimes the frustrations have their humorous side. Below you will see the adventures of a young and stubborn cleric (me) as she tries to combat the denizens surrounding the Citadel outside River's Rest. To give an idea of just how much this was a problem, all of the log snips shown here are from within the span of only a few days.

>You exclaim, "we should all go have birthday cake , I made it to 10!"

> Azthra beams happily at you!

You beam!

> Rauny hugs you.

> Feldrich says, "danay"

> Rauny smiles at Feldrich.

>You ask, "aye?"

> Feldrich offers you a blood red eagle feather. Enter ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it. The offer will expire in 30 seconds.

> Feldrich giggles.

> Dallavise says, "yer collectin em too"

> You exclaim, "I am the flying cleric!"

> (Danay flaps her arms)

> Dallavise laughs!

> You grin.

> You put a blood red eagle feather inside your purple greatcloak.

> Feldrich smiles paging through his animal book, stopping he circles the part about Blood eagle appetites and highlights the word Danay

 


[Citadel, Outside]
The mist curls around you, taking almost familiar shapes. Faces, figures and creatures seem to hang back at the edge of your vision. As you near this small brick structure, you see that it still stands, mostly intact. The only damage appears to be the result of time and neglect. Too small to be a building, perhaps it was an oven or incinerator at one time. You also see a blood eagle.
Obvious paths: east, southeast, southwest.

> With blinding speed, a blood eagle swoops around behind you and hooks its claws into you! The blood eagle quickly lifts you into the air and just as suddenly, you notice that the blood eagle is dropping you into a ravine!

The air whooshes by you at great speed, then suddenly stops as you hit the ground with a "THUD!".

A bit later after finding Rauny...

[Citadel, Outside]
In front of you stands a well, covered with a moss so thick that none of the original structure is visible. Though the roof has long since vanished, the well appears to have escaped much of the destruction. To the northwest you can see the collapsed remains of one of the guard towers. Westward stands a small brick structure. To the south and southeast you can make out the outlines of large stone buildings, details obscured by the mist. A walkway leads northeast along the fallen castle wall. You also see a mist wraith, a blood red eagle feather and a gas cloud. Also here: Aethena, Justar, Derenda, Valanar, Rauny
Obvious paths: west, northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest.

[Citadel, Outside Gates]
As would be expected of wizards, the normal drawbridge construction is missing from the entrance to the citadel. Traversing the ravine which surrounds the citadel is a large contraption which resembles a balance with several levers and ropes attached. On the other side of the ravine you can see two doors which form the entrance to the citadel. You also see a rope and a bridge.

Moss covered walkways lead off in several directions, but the passing mist obscures whatever might lay down them. You also see a blood eagle and a door.

[Citadel, Outside Gates]
As would be expected of wizards, the normal drawbridge construction is missing from the entrance to the citadel. Traversing the ravine which surrounds the citadel is a large contraption which resembles a balance with several levers and ropes attached. On the other side of the ravine you can see two doors which form the entrance to the citadel. You also see a rope and a bridge.
