ADMIN:posted in conjunction with RADAN's tale before....(by SHADE)

	Here is some more stuff from me to add to yours..!!!! I'M IN...
[R]	-Tell me about your adventures while you been gone... Radan asked as
	Shade finished the ale.

	Shade looked at Radan...

	"Wonder why they drink this vile stuff when there is good wine to be
	 had..by the Old Ones..."

	Shade smiles a little..

	-Thanks friend..

	He rises from his chair and slips into the crowd followed by Radan...

	-Well I ran into a little trouble at Specifica with some brawlers, they
	 could have been either slavers or a pressgang...once that was sorted
	 out I had to go underground, or rather under deck for a while.

	Shade  watches Radans face for a reaction, but there is only curiosity.

	-Then I got ashore here and found out where Karl was, I thought it was
	 an ordinary inn, but I was wrong..I tried to follow him but lost him
	 in the crowd here....then I both heard and saw you..

	The Dark Ones eyes glitter with amusement...

	-You don't have to alert the whole city you know, but it's good to see
	 a friendly face.....

	He looks over to a stall where they are selling exotic fruits and herbs
	of different kinds.

	-Just a minute......

	Shade goes up to the stall, looks at the herbs availible...sorts 
	through them, smells them and finally chooses three different ones...

	-I'll take these, thank you..

	...the proprietor looks at him wideeyed....

	-You seem to know your business, stranger, but don't mix these together
	 for your own sake...

	...the Dark One looks back at him, smiles a little ruefully...

	-Ok, thanks for the warning...

	"By the Old Ones, I know...but I have no choise..without them I'm as
	 good as dead anyway...I just hope they work.."

	..flips a golden coin to the herbalist and walks of into the crowd.
	Radan looks at him with a strange expression on his face, but the Dark
	One does not seem to notice.

	-By the way, did you see Karl pass by here by any chance..?
                                                                  
ADMIN:Radan starts up here...

Radan looked worriedly at Shade, "N-no I-I haven't, Shade.  Um, well, maybe we
should just try to make our way back to the Inn.  I have a feeling that He
might have gone back there,  I haven't seen Killian and Jenever either, but I
am sure that we will catch up with those two.  Tell me about these Old Ones...
What are they, Who are they to be more polite, I am kind of curious.  Is there
anything that I can do to help you with those herbes?   Let's make our way back
to the inn-"
Klaaannnngg!!!, CHINNGGG! Ummmphhh!   AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!  The sounds of
clanging steel and bones being broke, and a definite WAR cry came from a near
by alleyway.  
Shade looked at Radan, "What the- Let's go and see the action!"  Shade said
running and placing his herbes into his carry pouch, then drawing His blade...

What greeted there eyes were three Slaver thugs mercilessly attacking two
cloaked forms, What these thugs didn't realize was that the odds were going to
turn against them...  Shade engaged one that was about to Attack one of the
hooded forms that was repelling an attack by another, steel sparked and
sputtered as blades clashed.  And a *very* surprised Jenever glanced over to
see Shade quote,"HEH heh, What kept ya?" and then started to kleeve at the
Slaver's sword bit by bit.  THe slaver on another hand, didn't expect such a
wild or skilled attack on his relatively sneaky attack.  Dumbfounded, he fell
back to regroup with his comrades.  

Killian seems to be a bit wounded for a slash on the side just made him more
angry, He started to Change in front of his enemy, into the Creature that made
him famous among Radan, Shade, Jenever, and Rhys.  The Tiger that growled and
crouched in front of his enemy was cold and cruel looking, there was still the
gash on the side, but now, there was a detatched look about the Face of the
tiger, a look that said survive at all costs, waist this scum now.  An the
Tiger form flew at the Slaver that was struck motionless at the transformation
that just happened before him.  The claws of the massive creature ripped and
tore at flesh, entrails flooding the street, blood everywhere, flewing in
different directions.  The other Slavers, needed only hear the blood curdling
screams of their comrad and fled, being chased by their prey back into the back
alleyways of the "fabled" Capital of Rameshan-Pashar.
  Radan could only watch in terror, He had never seen so much blood in one
place, a knot in his stomache(sp?) formed and a funny feeling in his mouth,
made him turn away and vomit into a nearby trash-heap.  After finishing that he
kept hearing the screams of the others, and the tiger seemed to fanish, a touch
on the arm made him start, "Radan, it's me, Killian.  I am truly sorry.  I
never meant to upset you."  Radan just stared.  He had a look on his face that
was like he never knew what had happened, He just confulsed for a moment,
closed his eyes, and said,"Killian, you're injured-"  And Radan touched him
where the wound was.  Killian flinched for a moment, and Looked down.  The
wound was slowly sealing back up.  The blood from the sword slash stopped, and
the fibres of tissue meelded back together.  Radan just Flinched a little and
started to hold his side.  " I am going back to my room now, I will meet you
guys back there, Shade knows where to go."  Radan started to go out the alley
and staggered a little, then turned the corner.  
  Shade and Jenever caught up with the slavers that were fleeing into the night
and made mincemeat out of their remains.  Soon they came back to the spot were
Killian was standing.  
  "Wha is the Problem Killian, thatwas a nasty slash on the- Hey, I thought you
were wounded?  Where's Radan?" Shade was puffing out the words as he finished
running back to catch up with Jenever and Killian.  
  Jenever just looked at Killian, looked at the torn clothing, "What that be? 
I not see Radan in fight, Kitty cat?  Where we go know?"
  "follow Shade back to the Inn, I guess"  Killian had the weirdest look on his
face.  A look of puzzlement, as well as amazement.   Almost disbelief.

The group made it back to the inn, received rooms for the night, the ones
reserved for the Emisary from Generica, and then went to Radan's room. 
Knocking slightly, the door just creaked open.  There they saw Radan on the
bed, there was a lot of blood everywhere, and Radan seemed to be sleeping.

Shade quietly went over to the bed, and moved Radan.  His breathing was normal,
and peacefull, there was a lot of blood on one side, no gash in the clothing,
but a lot of blood everywhere.  Radan's shirt was a mess with it.  Opening it
up, there was no scar, no open wound, just healthy pink skin, with a slight
covering of blood.
Radan stired a little, and mumbled,"stop, no-oh god, oh god, WHA-" and opened
his eyes.   " Oh, Hellow everyone, I think we should stop here for a while and
wait for Karl."

Shade, Rhys, Jenever, and Killian just looked at him...


Radan Tsran-Healer extraordinaire....
