The Red Lantern TrailDeep in a stand of dark and gloomy woods, a series of dim red lanterns lights a poorly-kept trail. All the locals know about the trail, but none ever venture down it. Nobody really knows why not, except that they've been told not to their entire lives. It's said that those who venture down the path never return, although that could very well be overdramatic speculation. Nobody knows, really. After all, nobody has ever been brave enough to try.

Konan

Roleplay posts: 73
Age: 14
Physical Description: Standing at a height of 3 feet 2 inches, Konan does not seem to be a very intimidating fellow. Like many of his race, he is of diminuitive size. Konan is what is called a halfling, an animal-like and child-like race. Halflings are generally between 2 to 4 feet tall, with animal like features, usually mammalian, although some reptilian halflings have been known to exist.
Halflings can look almost completely animal-like, with fur covering their whole body, or they can be almost human like with only some animal like features. Konan is of the latter, with only large furry ears and a tail manifesting itself. His feet also seem to be small paws, which are quick and allow for quick agile movements.
Konan has bleach blonde hair along with similar colored fur on his animal like parts, and dark brown eyes that hold a determined fire almost always. Although like many halflings they also hold a mischievous glint.
Clothes and Equipment: Konan is an adventurer, and therefore travels lightly. He only has one set of clothing which is actually a very lightweight but durable armor. This armor gives him as much protection while offering the greatest freedom of movement. Hidden within this armor are four enchanted daggers that seem to have peculiar markings on them.
He also carries with him an unassuming looking sword, that is about a foot in length. To a normal sized human, the sword would look nothing more than perhaps a long dagger, but to Konan it is a full fledged long sword.
Aside from this he carries a small backpack on his back that has all the essentials for traveling, along with some other unknown things.

Konan eventually came upon the trail through the dark and gloomy woods. From every one of the locals he had asked, apparently, no one ever returned alive after a trip down the path. Konan, being the daring adventurer he is would, of course, choose to venture down this very path. He began to sing a song he had heard a bard sing once to keep his spirits up.
"Risin' up, back in the woods Took my time, took my chances Went the distance Now I'm back for the goods Just a man and his will to survive So many times, it happens too fast You trade your brain cells for glory We rush right in to take down those drow Never seeing the eyestalks of terrorrr...!"

"SH!" came the sound, just a little off the path where Lavender had had enough guts to venture. It wasn't very far. Probably, like... two feet. But all the same, she had a lantern beside her (not red), and was writing something down in her journal.
And she was glaring.
"Some of us are trying to research," Lavender told Konan, and then actually had a look at him. "My, but you are a strange specimen. What are you? Any relation to filipidae agapanthus, perhaps?" she asked, her accent posh and high in the step, hinting to a rather wealthy and privileged background.

The woods were dark and oddly quiet, without so much as a whisper of wind to break the silence. The trees were still, and no owls hooted in the dark. The dense canopy covered the sky and blocked any moonlight, leaving the path illuminated only by the red lanterns (and Lavender's own lantern). Konan's voice didn't echo at all in the woods, no matter how loudly the little fluffy-eared adventurer sang.

Konan paused in his singing when he noticed Lavender.
"A filip-what? No! I am the halfling adventurer Konan!" the Halfling said, ending in a rather dramatic tone, "...And what might a young lass such as yourself being doing in these deep... dark... spooky woods all alone?" he asked, "Oh and what is your name?"
Konan's fluffy ears perked up slightly as he listened for her answer. She had a funny accent, he thought.

Behind the two talking was a third person- a woman in a red tunic with orange hair. She kept her head down as she wandered along the trail. Thanks to the lack of echoing she didn't notice Konan and the alchemist as she wandered by.

"Never heard of you," Lavender replied flatly, but she picked up her lantern and moved off the log she'd been sitting on, snapping her journal closed with the pencil in between the pages. She walked over to Konan, who was the size of a child, and tucked her journal beneath an armpit so that she may hold out her hand.
"Lavender Flynn, Alchemist," she introduced herself. "I'm here to gather ingredients of course. The forbidden places always seem to have the best store of ingredients given no one comes in to pick it all."
She stopped talking to glance over at the road and watch Kelly walk on by. Lavender and Konan -- they weren't very far. Two feet, literally, and Lavender had a lantern in her hand, and they weren't even trying to be quiet, but the girl walked right past them and continued on down the road.
"Strange," Lavender commented, then turned her attention back onto Konan. "What are YOU doing here? I can tell just by looking at you that you're not a native to these woods. Your coloring is all wrong for having evolved in this ecosystem."

As Lavender spoke, Kelly snapped out of her trance and looked back to the two. She only glanced at Lavender's general direction before her eyes fell on the 3-foot-tall halfling. They widened as she blushed bright red. Kelly slowly began to walk back towards the group.
"Holy crap, is that a fairy?" She said to herself, almost loud enough for the others to hear.

"Well I am an adventurer, so what do you think I'm doing? I'm adventuring of course!" Konan said, smiling brightly. He drew his sword then (which was more the size of a dagger to a normal human) and he pointed it down the path with a dramatic flair, "Wherever danger is, that is where I seek to go. Where others dare not venture that is exactly the direction I head towards."
His point made, Konan sheathed his sword again before his sharp ears caught on to the sound of Kelly approaching. He would turn around then, offering a friendly smile, "Did you finally decide to join us? I am Konan, a halfing, not a fairy," Konan's sense of hearing was much better than Kelly probably expected it would be.

Kelly raised an eyebrow.
"Halfling? No, halflings are just smaller humans. Hell, I remember this one halfling girl who was just adorable...chocolate skin, sweet voice, legs for days....u-uh but she didn't have giant fox ears or tail like you do. You're a fey for sure." She said, blushing a little.
"I've been looking for a fairy companion actually. What would it take for you to join me?"

As the three adventurers chatted and debated exactly what sort of creature little Konan was, they might notice a soft sound coming from down the path. It was so quiet that it wouldn't have been heard in any ordinary forest, but in the unnatural silence, it would be heard easily by everyone (especially Konan with his giant fluffy ears). It would be difficult to identify at first, but if they all quieted down and listened, the adventurers would recognize the sound of soft sobbing.

Lavender blinked as Konan gestured and spoke. Perhaps to a softer heart and a younger girl, he would have been adorable. For Lavender Flynn, Alchemist, she found him interesting. And odd. And strange. But willing to partner up with him.
Maintaining her quiet, she looked over at the redheaded bandit that came to their group, asking if Konan was a fairy. She scoffed at the implication, having studied fey creatures for only a bit of time but knowing full well that Konan couldn't possibly be that. She nodded with Kelly, however, when the bandit woman insisted that Konan couldn't be a halfling and spoke of what halflings were. When Kelly began to reminisce about a chocolate-skinned one however, Lavender frowned, her nose wrinkling a bit with distaste.
Coitus was disgusting, and no doubt Kelly had plenty of it with that halfling girl, wherever she was. The two of them were chatting easily back and forth when Lavender picked up on the extra sound, and then sliced her hand between Konan and Kelly. "Sh!" she said again.
"Do you hear that?" And then she immediately walked away from them, back onto the path and down the way where the sobbing seemed to be coming from. "Let's investigate," she said without pause and walked forward, expecting Konan and Kelly to fall in line.
Lavender didn't even have a sword.

Konan looked at Kelly with a look of confusion, "Join you? What for?" he asked. He was about to inquire further when Lavender's hand swished in-between them and shushed them.
Konan's ears were immediately able to pick up the distinct sound of sobbing, and he would follow Lavender without question. He would catch up to Lavender quite quickly, despite his little legs. Unlike Lavender, Konan did have a sword, albeit a little one. He unsheathed it now, just waiting for some vicious monster to pop out and attack them at any moment.

( Strangers and Travelers) Upon hearing the crying and Lavender speaking of, Kelly spun around and put her hand on her rapier's hilt. "...do either of you use magic regularly?" She whispered to them.

Following the sound of crying down the path, the odd trio would stumble upon a steaming hot spring. A rather scantily-clad young woman sat in the pool, sniffling unhappily. When she spotted Lavender and the others, though, she brightened up considerably.
"Oh! Can you help me? I was taking a nice, soothing bath in this hot spring, but I...uh...fell and twisted my ankle. Can you come here to the water and help me out? It's awfully nice, but I'd sure love if someone big and strong could come lift me up and pull me out of this water here..."
She smiled innocently at the trio, licking her lips hungrily and glancing between the three of them. If they looked around the clearing, they'd see another similarly-dressed woman sitting in a tree, watching the proceedings with a bored look on her face.

Lavender snorted through her nose at Kelly's question. "Please. Fairytales do little when compared to the true power of science," the alchemist said, not even trying to disguise her arrogance even though she spoke quietly as they moved up the path and toward the crying.
They came upon the scene of the bathing woman and the other in the tree, and Lavender immediately reached out and put a hand to cover Konan's eyes from the woman's scantily-clad body. Her other hand went subtly into the bag at her hip. "Big and strong? Neither of those adjectives describe a single one of us," Lavender answered. "Lavender Flynn, Alchemist," the pale-haired young woman went on to introduce herself. "Also--not an idiot."

Konan caught a glimpse of the young woman in the pool before Lavender could cover his eyes though, and when she did he was quick to protest.
"Hey! What are you doing? I can't see with your hand in my face like that!" He would bat Lavender's hand away then, before growing thoughtful.
"I think we should help her!" he said, clearly not holding any suspicion for the nice young lady in the pool.

She scoffed, settling her hands on her hips as she half-turned to Konan and half-ignored the woman in the pool and her friend in the tree. "We are NOT helping her. No one sobs and cries while they relax in a bathtub in.." Lavender glanced at the woman and then gestured vaguely in her scantily-clad direction. "... That."

Kelly paused for a moment before pulling a crossbow from her pack and shooting the woman in the face.
"Not in the mood to deal with this!" She yelled as pulled her rapier free. All magic in the area around her was immediately nullified.

"Whoa!" Lavender cried, taking a step back so she wasn't near Kelly's line of fire. "Could you have possibly given a warning?" Lavender asked, the hand in her bag clenching around a vial as she drew it out of her bag. Her gaze immediately searched for the woman in the tree, assuming that Kelly had mark on the girl in the pond.
