After some thought, and with my preference no longer with Yahoo Groups
as a viable roleplaying site, Amber SOD is both restarting with a
different feel, and moving to www.rpol.net

Modified system, a more freeform approach, and hopefully a much more
open gaming environment. Plus, the ability to have easily identifiable
threads.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Hours later, Annon awoke to an empty infirmary. He slowly got out of
bed, goaning a bit from his bandaged wounds. He gathered up his
clothes, dress himself, and crept out of the infirmary.

He went straight to his apartment in the castle. He gathered up all
his belongings into his backpack and left.

Annon was greatly relieved when he found Goldenwing in the safe care
of Piper, the son of the head groom of the royal stables. Dragonwing
flew to the only other friend he knew in Amber. The young prince
thanked Piper with some rare gold coins he had gathered on his trips
threw Shadow, and took the dragonette up onto his shoulder.

He then went into the stables and spoke with Piper's father. The
groom had found and buried poor Cajan after the attack. The prince
expressed his deep regret at the loss of such a fine animal and
trusted mount. He told the head groom that he was heading away into
shadow, but mentioned nothing about heading for the Courts. He
thanked both Piper and the old groom then saddled up the black steed
Midnight.

It was not too long after that, that Annon had traveled far away
from Amber to attempt a shadow walk. He focused his concentration
hard, until these lands beyond the Forest of Arden took on a much
dimmer cast of light from the newly setting sun.

And Annon rode on.

"Well if it is safe let's try the teleport thing, I

"What do we have to do, so that it works ?"

"But it is underwater, is it some kind of magic...?"
Veronica looked curious and a bit dubious but then
again she didn't see gills on Llewella or Queen Moire.
Veronica shrugged, "I'll give it a shot." She smiled
and walked along with Kari.

Veronica smiled wide, "Wow I have wanted to see that

survive there in the deep ?"  She was giddy, "Are
there really mermaids I met Llewella and she has legs,
I am sorry I feel embaressed I just want to discover

away on business."
She held her hands out palms up, "So I guess that

ooc:  Hey, sorry to be a pain Pete, but could I get a
little ooc update where everyone is picking up in the
game?  What just transpired for Veronica before this
post and what city is she going to roam?  Thanks :-D
Beth

Deirdre and Veronica were approached by some of the warrior women of
Deirdre's force.  After a brief talk Deirdre turned to her daughter and
apologized for needing to attend to some matters but gave Veronica a
small pouch full of coin and gems to spend in the city.

Veronica sighed a bit and hugged her mother farewell before turning to
look at the city before her.

"Well, I hope the natives are friendly."  Veronica roamed into the city
to see what sites and wonders she could find within.

____________________________________________________________________


Annon thanked Emmeline for escorting him to an infirmary cot, by
planting a playful kiss on his fair cousin's cheek. "Thanks Coz! But
I could think of several better places in the castle, were you could
see to my well being in a more private setting." He teased her, but
winced a bit from pain, as he be bent to sit down on the cot.

Annon fumbled around a bit in his shirt till he brought out a silver
flask and raised it to his lips.  Though his red headed Aunt
snatched his flask from him in mid gulp. She firmly pushed him flat
down onto the cot, and splashed some of the contents of the flask,
onto a large open wound on his leg.

"Ouch!" He cried out more in surprize then pain.

"That's a much better use for this scotch just now, young man."
Fiona said matter of factly as she examined his wounds, by poking
and proding them with several sharp metal instraments.

"Seems that Someone in the Courts sent you an invitation, that was
not well received, I see. Fortunately the poison was meant to
immoblize and not kill you."

"Gee I'll have to thank that Someone, next time I'm there." Annon
quiped.

"That's not really a bad idea at all. I'll have to recommend that to
Eric. We could use a bit of new info from the Courts. It would help
me on my research into this odd activity with the pulse."

Annon gave is Aunt a look of sudden disblief, before rolling his
eyes, and putting his head back onto the cot.
