[Nexus] Bronze Keep-Muh Freedoms
Standing far from Inside, on the border between the verdant, rolling hills of the Meadowgreen and the beautiful but dangerous forests of Wode is a small hill. Atop this hill grows a massive, ancient oak tree with branches as thick as the trunks of any normal tree and roots like boulders. The bark is gnarled and cracked and thick with the sap of aeons passed by since it first sprouted, and stands tall, challenging nature's decree that all things must pass in time. It is, funnily enough, the only oak in the area. The other trees are all maple, juniper, spruce, or apple.
Built around the oak is a castle, its overly tall and thick walls crafted from some strange, bronze plated bricks that have grown greenish and mossy with age. The branches of the tree hang out over the walls and wrap around the five cone-roofed towers and the gatehouse chimney, and the entrance is blocked by a spiked iron portcullis and gate that lack any apparent mechanism to open them. Near the gate, a single brick has a strange rune carved into it.
/Π\
This is the Bronze Keep, Haven to those who would seek it, Sanctuary to those who would need it.
Spoiler: Locations
More detail will be added when I have a computer, but just know that there's the castle, the tunnels beneath the castle and the forests growing in them, the scary forest, the fields, and the village of Meadowgreen down the road.

To be filled out when I have a computer
Spoiler: OOC Rules
The general rules of FFRP and Nexus apply here as well, but there are a few extra guidelines.
Please run any attacks/huge refugee surges/whatever major event by me, first. I'd rather not wake one morning to find eight pages about how Lord Edgy the Superevil tortured everyone to death because nobody could stop his megapowers.
Let me know if you want a character added to the registry here, or possibly even a location.

Re: [Nexus] Bronze Keep-Muh Freedoms
Gate
Keith arrives, Thalia and Bellethille in tow. He doesn't travel slow and easy for the sake of others like Riley does, not even considering the girls' conditions, but he'll make sure they don't fall behind.
"Boss! Open opp!" he shouts, kicking at the gate.
Riley looks over the wall, scowling at first, then sees Thalia and pales.
"****!"
The gates open when Riley kicks the right stone the right way, and he shimmies down a drain point to rush over to Thalia.
"What the hell happened?!"

Re: [Nexus] Bronze Keep-Muh Freedoms
Gate
"Harribald happened. He saw her in a bar and had her drugged and taken home. Don't worry- he's dead now. These guys came and shot him in the head." Bellithele is likely in better condition physically than Thalia, but the elf's unwillingness to let anyone touch her suggests that she does bear her own scars. Since I don't think they've stopped to change, she's still wearing a translucent orange dress that makes it clear that she's wearing nothing else.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Bronze Keep-Muh Freedoms
Gate
Riley stops dead in his tracks when Thalia recoils from him.
That's something he'd do.
"No," he shakes his head, "No, this isn't, this...Come on. Inside. You're safe here. We've got clothes somewhere."
He leads them inside, grabbing Keith and having a quick, quietly hissed argument with the hobgoblin. Riley doesn't need slavers and bounty hunters coming here.

Re: [Nexus] Bronze Keep-Muh Freedoms

Bellithele will follow gratefully, though keeps a few steps away from everyone else, recoiling and looking scared if anyone approaches within that range- Keith is an exception, as hobgoblins don't look very human.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Bronze Keep-Muh Freedoms
Riley notices the distance kept from himself and is honestly really saddened by it. He leads them to one of the dressing rooms, one that still has clothes in it, and stays far out of their way. Even though he didn't do anything wrong, just the fact they're reacting like this makes him feel downright criminal.
"Do you need a doctor?"

Re: [Nexus] Bronze Keep-Muh Freedoms
Changing Room
"I... I don't know." It's clear, even through her dress, that Bellithele is mostly unhurt- there's a few bruises on her ribs from where Harribald awoke her every morning, but he never kicked hard enough to break a rib.
Bellithele doesn't care who's looking as she pulls the dress off and replaces it with a t-shirt and a pair of loose trousers; the dress didn't hide anything, and she's turned around so her back's to them.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Thalia changes into jeans, a sweater, and some boots and gloves. her back turned, one of the two men may notice the antimagic tattoo"Are we living a life that is safe from harm?

Re: [Nexus] Bronze Keep-Muh Freedoms
Riley stays out of the dressing room. He doesn't like to wear short sleeves, much less be seen naked, and affords others the same respect. Keith stays out of the room in respect for their privacy.
"We have a doctor-in-training and a paladin here, if you need them," Riley's despair is apparent in his voice.
While they change, they may hear a whispered argument.
"Fighting slavers, Keith? Are you insane?!"
"Do you haff enny idea what they d-"
"Yes, yes I do! First hand, in fact!"
There's a moment of silence.
"I...I can't have everyone die for one person."
"So what, I should've left her?!"
"I-I...I..."

Dressing Room
"Are either of them female?" She might surprise Riley or Keith with how fast she got dressed. She's gotten used to having to put clothes on or off quickly or be punished, though sometimes she had to do it slowly or be punished.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Bronze Keep-Muh Freedoms
Dressing Room
Riley freezes up when they exit, hoping Thalia didn't hear anything.
"They're both girls. Keith and I are the only guys here."
He'll try to talk to Thalia off to the side.
"I...I thought you were mad at me about the drow and took off...I'm sorry..."

Re: [Nexus] Bronze Keep-Muh Freedoms

"I'd like to see the paladin, please." It's the 'in-training' bit that's making her nervous.
Plus, I dislike characters of mine interacting directly with each other- most of the time, at least.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Bronze Keep-Muh Freedoms
Dressing Room
Riley nods and blinks, gnawing on his dry lower lip. It's not okay. He doesn't say that, though.
"A-alright. Keith, you're the hero, you g-"
"Not happening. You want this place defended, Boss? Hy gotta refill my stash. You kin take, 'em to whatever paladin you found."
Riley glares at Keith, his heart not really in being angry right now. He doesn't feel comfortable being around the girls with how obviously uncomfortable they are around him.
"Fine. Come on."
He'll lead the way to Weiss's grotto, hoping the paladin is there.

"If she is there, would you mind terribly if you weren't?" Bellithele sounds nervous about asking this of her host, but she's going to be nervous and jumpy for quite a while- already she feels as though she's outnumbered, and Keith's only just left.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"That's fine...I'll...I'll leave. Thalia,I won't stop you, but...be safe?"
He starts walking away to let Weiss handle things with Belle, turning around to say one last thing.
"You're safe here. I promise."

"I'm Bellithele. Are you capable of assessing and healing injuries?" Bellithele stays a distance back, not wanting to get too close.

After she enters the grotto's aura of freedom, she isn't quite as nervous as she pulls up her shirt to show the bruising on the right side of her rib cage. It is bruising, with no other injuries- at least, not there. But Weiss might want to do a full check up, I don't know.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!
