What is this feeling that's put you in your place?

[elvenking]

CHARACTERS: Thranduil, Nuada, Legolas, Arya, Fili, Morgana, Galadriel, Eric, and Godric.
LOCATION: The network, the hallways.
WARNINGS: Blood.
SUMMARY: It is not cool for someone to attack one of Thranduil's liegemen. So Thranduil sends out a party to hunt down the demon that did it.
NOTES: Depending on what the party and its members actually do, Snow will PM folks with information they've gleaned from the search. Basically the aforementioned minus Thranduil are following a trail of Nuada's blood to where he fought a "demon" in the hallways. Might even find the culprit. Be brave.


You don't attack one of Thranduil's own and get away with it.

The first person he speaks with, in person, is Legolas. He will lead the expedition. Everyone else is contacted individually. This will be solved quickly, quietly, and efficiently. No one else needs to be hurt. He will remain in the gardens. His place, as always, is as the chessmaster and not the game piece.

[elvenking]

I need your help. Now.

[wolfchild]

Did you find out who it was?

[elvenking]

Nay, child. I need Nymeria's nose for an altogether different matter. Something has attacked my liegeman and remains a threat to the rest of us.

[wolfchild]

We'll go. Where are you?

[elvenking]

Bring her to the gardens in an hour. You will not be going.

[wolfchild]

But—I have to be there! I have to be with her!

[ robb told her so! …and she wants to be part of the fun :c ]

[elvenking]

I think you do not. This is no piddling pirate, Arya. This is a demon of black powers, and I will not put you in harm's way.

[wolfchild]

I can stay in the back. [ for five minutes. ] I know how to stay out of the way. I can help!

[elvenking]

No. I will not tell your mother when she wakes that I endangered you so, nor your brother. If you wish to help, stay in the gardens with me and help guard the wounded.

[wolfchild]

How many are wounded?

[ wasn't it only one? if there are so many, why hasn't security been informed? ]

[elvenking]

One, as you well know. But your eyes would still be helpful.

[wolfchild]

I will be there.

[inafadingcrown]

[She's had an ill feeling that she just couldn't shake since the last jump, so Galadriel is honestly not terribly surprised to receive a message like this. Dismayed, but not surprised.]

Explain.

[elvenking]

Something has attacked my liegeman. He described it as a demon. I am assembling a party to seek it out and destroy it.

[inafadingcrown]

I will come. [There's no question. It's the sort of threat that can't be ignored.] We will meet in the gardens, I assume?

[elvenking]

In one hour. Lady, I am in your debt.

[inafadingcrown]

Speak not of debts. A threat of this nature concerns us all. I would be remiss to ignore it.

[elvenking]

Nevertheless, call on me if ever you need me.

[inafadingcrown]

I shall. Until later. [And then she turns off the device. See you in an hour, Thranduil.]

[faderbroderson]

Name it.

[elvenking]

Something has attacked my liegeman. A demon, he said. I am assembling a party to hunt it and kill it before it attacks again.

[faderbroderson]

[Well. Hunting and killing is basically what Godric is built for.]

Where shall I meet the others of this party?

[elvenking]

The gardens, in one hour.

[faderbroderson]

I will be there.

[doesntdohumble]

Help?

[longestnose]

With what?

[Not his normal reaction, perhaps.]

SUMMARY OF THE ACTION AS WORKED OUT ON PLURK

[elvenking]

The party found the area where Nuada was attacked. From there, they tracked the faintest scent of Morgoth's blood a short way until the trail went cold.
