#53019, "Talisin's Role Chapter 3"
|
RoleChapter 3 Of Chalices Added Thu Feb 26 23:51:49 2015 at level 46:After some time, the bard reappears near the makeshift stage, settling onto a stool. His face is somewhat flushed, and his eyes blur ever so slightly. In his hand, he holds a massive goblet made of bronze, and, before speaking, he tilts it back before his face, gulping down the wine that did not end up running down his tabard. When he does speak, his voice somehow remains clear and unaffected by the drink.
"This wine cup here, this chalice, well, one like it, figures deeply into the future exploits of our young bard. See, he ended up as a Keeper of the Balance, when Marintok was the Rhyme."
At the sound of the name, a few folks at the bar turned around and looked back at the speaker.
"Ah, good! So you know the Cliffjumper! As fine a leader as the Isle had ever seen, or so the bards say. But he was some inspiration for our young hero. As a Nexun, Talisin grew to relish the thrill and the beauty of battle. He found his senses sharpened when blood ran down his arms, and every sigh, sound, and smell was intensified and more beautiful. To this end, with Marintok's example, he sought out the blessing of the Imperator, Akresius himself. Talisin knelt, mortal before the god and Sanguine Chalice, and was there set upon a quest, to fill the Chalice and prove his worth. He would face five foes in single combat, and blood would flow."
The speaker pauses for another long gulp of wine, and looks around, "Some of you know Marintok, then you, too, know Aoirse, onetime Commander of the Battle Ragers. The two, Talisin and Aoirse, waged a running battle across Thera. The giant was fierce, old yet still strong, and grizzled with the scars of ancient wars. His strength and his cunning were great, time and time again he forced back our hero, as Talisin's blood flowed freely from deep wounds."
"And then, by a stroke of cunning or luck, the wood-elf crept back upon the giant, and, with a somber tune, lulled him into a deep sleep. Talisin's drum beat out soulful song after song, and a web of illusions took shape around the commander, who, upon waking, found himself trapped in a land of fog and mystery. The bard struck then, and the Commander was confounded, his strength for naught, and, when victory seemed at hand, he was off, fleet as a hare. With a shake of his great head, as if casting off the illusions, dashed away to the village and safety."
The bard stands again, and heads to the bar, as an unsatisfied murmur arises in the growing crowd. He glances back and mutters, "What? You thought our young hero already a match for Aoirse? No, but that is a tale for another telling."
