(Start of Story)

Sigrid, Kailin and Haggerty arrived in the city of Alexandria only a few days ago. When they went to the adventurer's guild hall to inform them of the events that have happened in Glenspiel, they were not amused or impressed.

As expected, the guild withheld the pay that was stipulated in the contract as the objectives were not fulfilled. They seem uninterested in pursuing any ventures to help out repopulating the dead village, saying that there are more important stuff to deal with. News about the unknown entities that have brought about destruction to Glenspiel were recorded, but otherwise not actively worked upon. The information will likely be traded off for money or favor to people who are interested with the knowledge.

Still, the guild showed some leniency by not removing the three from the guild's list of prospective employees. They even allowed them a chance to complete the contract. The contract necessitated haste, but it never stipulated a date to which it would expire.

The three left the guild and began making plans on how to achieve the contract's objectives.

Sigrid went back to temple and informed them of the events that have taken place in Glenspiel. Alarm and a promise of action is offered against the forces that destroyed the village. Support and a willingness to help repopulate the village is given for as long as the endeavor is deemed feasible. The temple has a few names of the people that once lived in Glenspiel. They offered Sigrid the names of next of kin that can be found in the city.

Kailin goes about seeking institutions that may be interested in financing people to relocated and repopulate Glenspiel. A lot of merchants and a few nobles have shown interest in doing so, but upon learning on how the village lost it population, they became less inclined to support. Most of them require an assurance that village is safe for the people to live there. If this can be assured, then they will help in getting the money needed to finance people to live there.

Haggerty is interested in getting the village viable for re-population and has been studying the maps of the area surrounding Glenspiel. He has found some assistance in the library staff who became aware of what happened in the fallen village, and his effort to get it up running again. They offered Haggerty permission to read books that the average Alexandrian is not allowed to read, but only those books that concern the village of Glenspiel. It is a wealth of information that will likely help him in the days to come.

The three eventually meet up and shared information with each other. They begin going around the city, seeking the living relatives of those who once lived in Glenspiel. The news comes as a shock and a great sadness for some, but for others it mattered very little to them. Offers of having them repopulate the village is met with deep reluctance if not a down-right refusal. The idea of suffering the same fate as their relatives does not go down well with them.

As the trio continue with the difficult task of finding relatives of the slain villagers who would accept going to Glenspiel, they notice that several figures have been following them. The figures would always be at a distance, and would disperse if any of the trio approach them. But after observing them for a while, a pattern develops.

It would appear that these people are of the same mind as the trio for as soon as the three have concluded their talk with the relatives of the slain villagers, they would come up to the homes these people as well and offer them money to get the village repopulated, specifically to get the dark wood flowing again.

It seems someone wants control of the dark wood business in that village.

As the trio make their way to one of the living relatives within the vicinity, they could hear a raucous nearby. Someone is raising his voice and doesn't seem to like something being said about him. As the three get closer to the commotion, they see five figures standing around one man who looks quite obstinate.

"No! No matter how much you will pay me, I will not cut dark wood for you or for your boss. You might as well give up." Says the bearded man with a heavy set built.

"Well, I guess your young niece of little importance to you then?" Says one of the five figures standing around him.

You say, "Arabella? No! You did not?!" yells the man in disbelief.

The other person merely nods, smiling wickedly.

"Give her back to me or I will kill you all!" Says the bearded man.

"Get the dark wood running again, and you will get her back." Says the other.

The bearded man turns and at that very moment spots Sigrid. Seeing that she is a daesusite, he begins yelling for aid. "Help! Help! These hooligans have kidnapped my niece!"

The first thing Sigrid does is file a complaint about the mission-givers with the guild. It certainly wasn't any failure of theirs that prevented the mission from succeeding, and they gained valuable information and fought and killed some dangerous monsters. There ought to be some compensation for that. She scoffs at the idea that the guild would delete them from the rolls or forbid them from working for the guild because the mission-givers had made false assumptions. On the subject of the families, she assures them that they won't be asked to come back to the village until it's safe. But that there's land and houses and jobs, and that should at least be of interest to some. As they stumble upon the kidnappers, she pauses, taking in the situation for a moment, then steps forward, drawing her blade. "You men," she addresses the fellows threatening the old man. "You say you have kidnapped this man's niece? That is atrocious, and you shall be judged for your crimes. Stand down now, or face me."

Kailin looks towards the the five that the bearded man has labeled as hooligans, moving past Sigrid. "To hell with little girlies. What's this about dark wood? Who's lookin' to get the dark wood runnin' ag'in? I have a mind to see it done and a strong wood choppin' arm." He gives his hammer an outward swing through the air to show the motion and give a show of his muscle. "I'm in fer some work if ye have the coin for it."

The five thugs don't look happy at the appearance of Sigrid, Kailin and Haggerty. "This is not good." says one of the thugs. "We have to get rid of them before they can tell the authorities of our plan." They quickly unsheathe their weapons and move menacingly forward towards the three adventurers, their intentions hostile.

Haggerty composed a writ to file a complaint about the Mercenaries' conduct, especially their task giver, but did not officiate it by sending it in. The still travel-disheveld arcanist did speak up in the temple of Serriel to make road wardens aware of the dangers and ask about new folk traveling into and possibly from the area. There were a number of other activities, but the most sought-after is not one, because the group did not get paid! As such, he squints and eyes the suspicious folk and lawbreakers with his blues while he gauges the distances and purses his lips to say something as well, but will not be between the huge woman and her calling. Then, the northman starts chanting in the strange tongue which shapes astral energies.

Round Zero - Init 21.
It is now Kailin's turn! Sigrid is next!
<OOC> Kailin says, "Ready my hammer and bard for inspire courage."

Kailin sets his pack as the men continue to move forward and his speech changes back to normal, no longer taking on the language of the barbarians of the north. "Well, I guess this will have to end the bloody way. Tragic." He then starts up a song as he whips his long lucerne hammer around his body, holding it at the ready as he belts out the deep, low notes that rumble from his belly. His long hammer can reach quite a distance around him and he planned to use it to his advantage if at all possible.

Round Zero - Init 16.
It is now Sigrid's turn! Haggerty is next!
<OOC> Sigrid says, "Let me stay back with the others and form up a sort of line so it's harder to flank us, and ready an action to hit one with PA if he comes in range"

Sigrid is a bit harder to hurt in her new armor, still fresh from the smith, and with her blade out, she stands ready for action. But she's not quite ready to go out among 5 enemies and get surrounded, so she forms up with the other two, her blade out, standing ready to receive their attack.

GAME: Benthus advances the initiative order.
Round Zero - Init 9.
It is now Haggerty's turn! Thug5 is next!
<OOC> Haggerty says, "Ready color spray and cast it defensively when they come within range."

Haggerty builds up the the active cone of arcane might he is capable of controlling while the redhead releases the charge through his mind and to his fingertips for the casting which gives the gloves a faint rainbow sheen. A small droplet of sweat builds while the hatted man holds his shiny staff in the crook of his right arm and the little dog watches from between the caster's legs, looking up. He finally gets to wear a new green woolen tunic with a horned whale motif which is something less smelly than the elk sweater became in the days of travel back to the big city. Kuno currently lets his long tongue hang from the side of his mouth. It is more like a frog's, only more drooly and less sticky.

It is now Sigrid's turn! Thug4 is next!

Sigrid wasn't standing ready just to look cool, either, the giant woman was ready for the enemy to attack. She begins her swing as the first man runs up, and just as he gets within range, her blade is coming across at neck level. His body stumbles forward a couple steps, then crumples as his head goes the other direction with a surprised expression.

GAME: Benthus rolls 1d8+3: (3)+3: 6
GAME: You damaged Kailin for 6 points. 12 remaining.

The first thug goes for Kailin, charging towards him. As he gets near, Kailin uses his long reach to attack his incoming foe. Thug1 sidesteps during the charge and narrowly avoids being brained by the massive metal ball that was aimed for his head. He slashes at the giantborne opening a large wound on his chest.

<OOC> Kailin says, "I'll move back out of his range and attack again from 10'"
GAME: Kailin rolls melee + 1: (6)+6+1: 13

Kailin takes a swing at the one that comes his way as the first two are dropped low, missing him as he closes. He's cut from a slice from the man, the longsword drawing a gash across his thigh. He swings his hammer again after hoping back, favoring his good leg, but this again misses wide and the bardarian struggles to keep his composure. He stays strong belting his tune, gaining resolve from the familiar melody of heroes.

The three remaining thugs go after each of the adventurers separately. The one on Sigrid misses her, but the other two manage to land their weapons well on their marks on Haggerty and Kailin.

GAME: Sigrid rolls 1d20+6: (9)+7: 16
GAME: Sigrid rolls 2d6+10: (9)+10: 19

Sigrid is in the center of the line and holding all right so far. Seeing Haggerty wounded, and the attackers all about the same distance as they've come at us, she shifts a bit, and suddenly, she thrusts with her blade, which takes the man in front of Haggerty from an angle he wasn't expecting at all. He crumples to the ground, bleeding, as Sigrid brings her heavy blade back to en garde.

GAME: Haggerty rolls bab+4+1+1: (12)+1+4+1+1: 19
GAME: Haggerty rolls 1d6+1: (2)+1: 3

Haggerty gets bloodied when struck by a longsword of narrow make which looks more like a long knife, but that hardly makes the blade less effective, because he lacks all of bulk and chain and board to have protection in the way when his parrying move misses. The red soup trickles down and messes up the fine green garment of the worried looking Kuno. The robed man has no more target right next to him so there is space to cast again. Then the guy who stabbed him -which burns like a truly biting winter wind- becomes a faucet. Helped by song and the fact that his mind is stronger than his body, the blue clad man lets his staff dance through the air and knock the guy who fights Kailin in the right shoulder, but the result is not too fancy.

<OOC> Kailin says, "AoO."
GAME: Kailin rolls melee + 1: (15)+6+1: 22
GAME: Kailin rolls 1d12 + 8: (1)+8: 9

Kailin sees his attacker move in again and he takes a swing at him before he can get in to strike. He clips the man with his weapon, the top of his lucern hammer scratching a line through his arm by way of the spear tip. The force of the blow does most of the damage, rather than the weapon, but it is enough to keep the man at bay long enough for Sigrid to drop him to the ground. He moves then with a calculated series of hop steps to surround the last of the men. His weapon swings high and dives down with a heavy pull of the haft, but slams into the ground without hitting its target yet again, sliding by as the human ducks out of the way.

<OOC> Benthus says, "Sigrid, roll AoO as it is moving through your squares as well."
GAME: Sigrid rolls 1d20+7: (14)+7: 21
GAME: Sigrid rolls 2d6+10: (5)+10: 15

The man attacking Kailin is a bit too narrow-sighted, focusing on his opponent and not realizing his movement leaves him open to the giantborn woman. Sigrid does not miss this fact, and drives her blade between his ribs as he goes past. He falls to the ground, bleeding, gasping.

<OOC> Benthus says, "And I forgot Thug3. This is his roll."
<OOC> Benthus says, "On Sigrid."
GAME: Benthus rolls 1d20+3: (1)+3: 4 (EPIC FAIL)
GAME: Benthus rolls 1d20+2: (4)+2: 6

The thug that charged Sigrid earlier positions himself to initiate a flurry of sword blows on the sunblade. But her skill in combat proved superior than his and all his attacks fail to draw blood.

GAME: NEW ROUND!

<OOC> Sigrid says, "Attack with PA, pls."
GAME: Sigrid rolls 1d20+9: (10)+9: 19
GAME: Sigrid rolls 2d6+10: (10)+10: 20

Sigrid faces off against the last of the assailants, who's now caught between her and Kailin. As far as rocks and hard places go, this is pretty much the textbook case. His weak attacks are brushed aside as she steps in and with a sweeping stroke, slices with her greatsword deep into his gut, doubling him over, and leaving him to bleed and wheeze on the ground.

"Thank you for coming to my aid." Says the bearded man. "Those scoundrels have been pestering me since that day when news of Glenspiel's dark wood production collapsed has been made public."

The trio would later learn that the bearded man's name is Barkeley Thingol. He is more popularly known as 'Ruf-Bark' because of his gruff nature as well as his skill and expertise in relation to Dark wood. He had stopped doing his profession as a specialized lumber-jack/tree grower ever since the parents of Arabella died in a freak accident. That was like ten years ago. Arabella is now a teen-ager at this stage and Ruf-Bark would be willing to help in the dark-wood production if they can find her and bring her back to him safely.

"The city boys are a danger to my wee lass. I do not want her to suffer the fate that has befallen to so many young, unwed mothers in this city. Some time in the country-side might help in lessening her interest in the other sex, until the phase has passed." Says Ruf-Bark. "Find her and you will have your dark wood business working again."

After interrogating one of the five thugs, the trio become aware of who hired them and where that person is located. Sardonis Krimshaw. Nothing much can be learned about him other than that he used to be a member of the guild as well before his termination from work. It is not clear what the reason is, but it is likely something not good.

Kailin focuses healing jingles on himself and Haggerty, then goes about finding the next information. "I guess we're heading to the vicinity of Alexandria's ship harbour." He then grabs his back and begins going in that direction, once everyone else is ready to join.

Sigrid is liberal with the laying on of hands. "Be healed. The light if Daeus grant succor," and so on. She'll even bandage up the villains as best she can, so they'll survive on their trip to the magistrate. She's pleased that they're more willing to divilge their boss's whereabouts, that'll make things easy. "So," she says to Kailing and Haggerty. "Do we just storm this villain's lair, or is there some more complicated plan?"

Haggerty says hurridedly, "Please stabilize at least one more!" and breaks into a hustle along with the trundling compatriot to get to the unconscious guy, kick weapons away from him and bind the guy. He nods thanks to the kind healers while busybodying. Next is cart time while rounding the bad guys up in full.
Time passes.

With the new information, the narrowly build shortest one of the trio voices his agreement which is kindly underlined by a snort-bark. "Let's go now that we are cleaned up. Thanks for not charging in, by the way. I appreciate it. A lot." He is clean again, too, as is the canine pal. Tapping his chin, the shorter male nods to the Daeusite, "We should scope it out and make others aware of where we are going. If we rush in, masybe somebody can hold the other doors shut?"

GAME: Haggerty rolls +4: (18)++4: 22 (Locating Krimshaw's whereabouts with Knowledge/local)

Sigrid nods about not charging in. "We should of course scout out the situation if we can. If we are fortunate, he will not have heard about ... this." She gestures to the fallen thugs. "But we should expect he has, and that he has taken precautions. Though if we are fortunate, he is a man of not too great means and won't have too many guards." After all, he hired /these/ guys. "You're right, of course. We should alert the guild as to where we are going, in case we fail, or if they need to take some other action."

Kailin gives a shake of his head to Haggerty and says, "I suspect we'll go looking this fellow, fight him and a few lackeys and if we win, save the girl." He looks then towards the fellows on the ground, nudging on e with the end of his polearm. "They don't seem particularly conversational or stealthy."

Haggerty nods in agreement. Several times. "Temples, too. And the druid union." To Kailin, he shrugs, "Really? Letthe innocent girl be in the guy's clutches should we falter? Not good. Us testinjg our mettle for you to recount is marvelous, but not on the back of the girl's fate!"

Sigrid agrees with Haggerty, "We must not fail. And we should make it known what it going on, so that if we fall, someone else can take up the task. But we should not tarry too long, or we'll give news a chance to filter back to this fellow, and that would be bad, too. I think we should just notify the guild, and then go quickly."

Kailin gives Haggerty a nod and a shrug. "I meant after we check in. I'm not that cruel. I doubt it will make a difference if we do notifications. We can split up if you think time is an issue and meet back up elsewhere." He shrugs again. "Whatever."

Haggerty thumbs up and adds, "So if we fail, another epic will be greater, because they shall succeed where we failed and fell." The comparatively puny man gives a big winning smile, "Great. I did not mean to jump to conclusions." He breathes silently and goes on, "Big cities like Alexandria are strange places, but this place should be one of hope and is from what little I have seen. I do agree on going speedily."

Sigrid shakes her head to Haggerty, "We will not fail," she says confidently. "We must not. Our honor, and also a little girl's well-being are on the line. But we should not tarry overlong, either. If we are to regroup, I will notify the guild of what we are about. And raise some issues about the group that has hired us. I am finding myself less and less pleased by their attitudes."

The trio make their way to Krimshaw's safe house, which is located somewhere within Alexandria's harbour district. It took a while to locate the right building, but when the three arrive at the area, they immediately began scoping out the building and looking for ways and means to get into it. It is a small wooden hut that is perched over the waters of the harbour by wooden stitlts. It would appear there are many, many means of getting into the house, from either the main door, to coming from under the building, from swinging from one of the tall buildings on top of the flimsy roof, to downrigth bulldozing straight into the thin wooden walls.

The three continue to observed the building some more, noting any activities inside the building. Apparently, there are no one inside which leaves you to wonder if you got your information right.

It doesn't take long when you hear a roar from behind you and realize that while you and your group have been examining the building, Sardonis has been observing the group from one of the nearby buildings, giving himself time to get ready and attack the group with opportunity.

Sardonis is a brute of a man with long dread-lock hair that is swarming with lice. He has a feral look on his eyes and foaming at the mouth. He is carrying a great-axe of exquisite craftmanship and appears to be gleaming with magical energy. He moves fast and carries himself with skill and expertise that has been acquired from long years in doing hazardous jobs. He appears to be a man with little to no scrupples when it comes to killing people, whether innocent or not.

Haggerty is aware and has a watchful pair of eyes and a very sensitive stubby nose to help. He does not move much from his vantage but one finger to zap the encroaching guy with a spell, that dark streak of sorts again. However, it goes wide, because the blue-eyed mage should have bothered to aim and strike true.

Kailin hears the roar and is able to react, seeing Sardonis rushing forward. Without hesitation, Kailin whirls around, stepping just off of the man's path and stabbing forward with the tip of his hammer. It strikes home, but he takes a strike in return and he grunts against the pain, doding the next when it comes.

Haggerty lets the carefully crafted stick dance through the smelly harbor breeze, but there is no hitting the charging SK. He grunts with some startlement when his attempt merely bounces off the armor and the stick flies back into the wizard-in-the-making's hand. Kuno winces with a faint wheeze which is lost due to the mighty swings and meaty impacts of the decently sized weapons in use here. Should Hagg die here, he would be felled by an ax, at least..

Kailin matches the fury of the lice ridden man with a yell, letting out his fury in a yell. He whirls his polearm again and smashes it down recklessly, beatting the end of his hammer against the man with a thump. He was a different person now, one that was without abandon and ready to go down swinging against Sardonis if he had to.

It seems like Sigrid is the last one to find out these things! Even as Sardonis puts in his appearance, she's squinting at the house, trying to work out the best way in. She waves off the others' indications of crisis as she mumbles, "I think it may be best if I go to the front, and the others of you come in the other entrances, that way if he tries to escape, you'll be there." It's only after the shouts and scuffle of fighting grabs her attention that she ohs! and turns to face the enemy. Drawing her sword, she'll rush in to try and flank this maniac. "Stand down!" she orders. "Stand down and surrender! In the name of Daeus the Platinum Dragon and justice!" Not that he's listening, but she can at least say she offered the chance to end this peaceably. When he doesn't stop, she channels holy power into her blade and brings it around in a flat arc that leaves a slash that seems to hurt him before he rolls away from her strike.

Sardonis will not be denied his kill. His focus is on the mage as he perceives him to be the weakest of the three. He swings his axe overhead and brings it down with all the fury and anger that he has inside of him, focused on cutting Haggerty into two pieces. By some stroke of luck, Haggerty manages to dodge a few feet out of the lethal down-ward strike to evade death.

Kailin brings his hammer around again, fully engaged in the warrior spirit within him. He cuts through and sends the weapon around to Sardonis with a masterful blow which catches him square in the midsection.

Haggerty steps back just the same to strike from distance and deceptively outside of harm's way. He does prod the raging guy, but it only a glancing hit the guy likely does not even feel. Then comes the ax. It splits a rib and almost halves the mage's thigh who bites back a groan of pain while blood wells from the massive cut. His vision blurs, adrenaline charges him more actively and he can almost smell himself and the lice ridden charger twice.

Sigrid is now in the thick of things, swinging her huge sword with abandon and singing brave fighting songs in a pleasing contralto. A bit low, and no bard by any means, but not bad for an ameteur. She twists the sword behind her back in a huge windup, and unloads on Sardonis with all she's got. And she's got a lot. It hits Sardonis like a ton of bricks, taking the huge man in the side and bowling him over, her blade pinning him to the ground. Though it doesn't matter too much since it looks like he's not going to be getting up.

GAME: Kailin ends his rage.
GAME: Benthus removes the timestop.
Timestop by Benthus has left.
GAME: You remove the timestop.

With Sardonis down for the count, the group has free rein in entering the shanty and search it out for other occupants. Inside the hut, bound up with ropes and gagged with a piece of cloth, is Arabella. The girl is roughly 16 years old and is showing the feminine curves that is typical of her age. She looks very frightened and is screaming through the gag when the trio approach her.

Kailin stays back and calms down, letting all the rage out and recovering from the affects of it. The withdrawls were never a good feeling, cold and nauseating. But the rush was worth it, almost every time. He watches the girl with the gag as he recovers, leaning on his polearm as he allows the others to do the actual rescuing.

Haggerty is a right mess and has a soaked bandage while he carries himself by using his staff as a crutch to hold himself upright. His braids are rife with clotting blood. Not much appeal there. The Stormgardian draws breath noisily because of the split rib and the resulting damage to his chest which entails one of those strange umlaut vowels, "Hello, fair maiden. We're here on behalf of Ruf-Bark. As you can see, we have an ordained sword of Daeus with us to to make things right. Sardonis will not harm you anymore!" The little dog jumps up, lands on the girl and views her with his big cute eyes, then snorts-barks..
Sigrid does some quick first aid on Sardonis, muttering, "Oh, no, you're not getting away from this by dying." She binds the wound as best she can so he won't die. "Is the girl OK?" she calls out.

Arabella looks at the trio and listens to what they are saying. After Haggerty informed her of who they are and that Sardonis is under control, she began screaming again but this time of relief. Tears roll down her face. Thankfully, the gag is still in her mouth or the teen-ager's shriek would have been deafening.

Arabella is still gagged and bound, but she looks relieved rather than distressed now that she knows she is rescued.

Haggerty plainly replies after a drawn-out, wet sigh which comes with a faint trail of lifesauce dribbling down the corner of his mouth, "Yes! She's fine. Very healthy lungs!" He chuckles and groans while the tiny pug jumps to try and lick the girl while the northman gets his dagger out, say with a cough, "Going to cut you free. Nothing else." Then he goes about that part of things with a shaky hand.

Kailin sighs at the girl's reaction but doesn't give much more than that. He simply continues to lean on his polearm and wait patiently.

Sigrid, having taken care of Sardonis's wounds, uses some rope to bind his arms behind his back. Just in case. And it seems like things are OK inside the shanty. "Bring her out, let's take her home!" she calls out.

Ruf-Bark's niece is reunited with her uncle. They were both happy. The uncle began to explain to his niece that life in the city has become dangerous, and the longer they stay, the more life-threatening it will be for the both of them. They have to leave the city behind and go to a place called Glenspiel. There, her uncle will be working once again. Arabella wasn't too pleased at the prospect of leaving the city, but considering the dangers that she went through and the possibility of more of it happening in the coming days, she acquiesced to the departure.

With news that an expert on dark wood is going to Glenspiel to resume the trade there, people who have little to no prospect in the city are taking their chances in going to that fallen village as well. There are not many of them, and most of the people who have agreed are not really fit for working... yet. Too emaciated, or suffering from some sort of illness, those desperate enough to join come with little or nothing with them. Getting them ready for work there may have to wait. Getting them ready for the travel and reach the place without dying on the way would be a primary concern.

(Start of story)

As the intrepid adventurers leave the village of Glenspiel behind, a pervading sense of being followed is felt by each member of the team. As the distance from the village to Alexandria is several days away, the long trek back is likely not to go without incident. One evening as the group rested, they had strange dreams of people calling from beneath a large, dark abyss. Calling for help and release. The group awakens tired and troubled.

A snow blizzard decided to visit the area where the trio's were travelling and this further hampered their haste to return home. Forced again to make camp to weather out the storm, the group rest in a cave that they manage to find before the storm overtook them.

Sigrid is at least not bothered by the temperature as we wait out the snow. "I wonder if there's any more we could have done for the people," she laments. "A whole village. So tragic."

Kailin, like Sigrid, is used to weathering cold temperatures and waits at the edge of the cave, keeping a watch out into the storm. "I've felt like something was following us the entire time, but I haven't seen anything. And then last night I had dreams of people calling from a dark pit." He shakes his head slightly and says, "I don't think that area is quite as clear as maybe I'd have hoped it was. It may be following us." He looks to Sigrid and gives a shrug. "But I don't know what else we could have done. We searched the area, we identified the magic used. We even buried the bodies properly. There was literally nothing else we could have done." He turns then to Haggerty and asks, "Unless one of us has further abilities that we haven't shared?" He finishes, "Filing that, we did what we could. And that's all anyone can reasonably expect."

Haggerty groans and looks about, kisses Kuno on the dome of the hairy head and goes to wash his features and arms with the snow to wake up properly, likely procured in a bucket or on stips of bark near the entrance. They made sure not to offend any bears, rite!? Good. Now, travel was not that bad when the wizard called mounts for a few hours to help the heavy armor wearing woman bear her load more easily and help the other find an hour of rest while moving -when the magic made sense and the phantasmal steed could be employed for any such means. Now in camp, he gets dressed fully again. "Sadly not. Negative again. Only learning will get me farther and to where I should be to have more impact here, but I make do in the meantime with what little I can. My spells are for other situations than battling undead." He clears his breath to the side. "This was magic on levels the cursed Charnites and the thrice darned Kulthians enacted. Normally, this takes circles of acolythes. It is something so powerful I can barely believe it were there not some previous events which exceeded the scope of this terror. It's.. really strong. The kind of gem this would take would need to be huge. Like put on a trek wagon big."

Sigrid nods to Kailin. "I agree, we have done what we can. If something else is following us, it will either give up before it comes to the city, or someone in the city will figure out what it is and what can be done." She peers at Haggerty, the says, "If that's the case, then we must notify my temple as soon as we get back."

Kailin listens to Haggerty and gives a nod to Sigrid. "We'll take an accurate recording of our findings and submit them to people in the city so that someone more equipped to handle the situation can be assigned to check it out." He shakes his head and says, "This isn't even a matter of our particular job, anymore. That back there..." he shakes his head and continues, "...goes way beyond a breach of contract dispute." He scoops back his white braids and lays them across his shoulder. "If this wood is as important to the city as we were told, one - if not more - of the organizations in Alexandria will respond appropriately to the situation."

He pauses as he says that and adds belatedly, "Then again, we have to make it back to do that. It could be that whatever caused that massacre has realized that exact thing and means to prevent us from alerting anyone..." That might explain the sensation of being followed. Kailin's brow darkens at that.

Haggerty watches the pug dog stretch and then plop down on his red sweater again which seems to go with a slow grunt-snort and a silent belch accompanied by eyes too cute. Unglueing his vision from the tiny friend, the redhead observes the others once more and nods to what they say. His hair got a bit frazzled in the days past, but so be it. "It sadly is. They stole ALL life essence, all souls from the entire valley." The Stormgardian shakes his head, messing up the braids some more. "This is a major occurrence and a tragedy. Valiant souls must live a fruitful afterlife." He nos to Kailin again, "They might have destroyed the trees' lives, too, which harms the magic of the wood, because all druidic magic is tied to life in some way. Indeed, Kailin. We are being followed or sensored which I cannot stop, unfortunately."

Sigrid nods about sending out people better equipped for this. "That would be wise. I am not concerned for their commerce. But if it was as vital as they say it is, they should have had guards and such there. I can only conclude that it is not so vital as they now claim." She considers Kailin's comment, and nods. "I hope that it's not after us, but it's something we should be wary for." She frowns at what Haggerty has to say, and replies, "They will have resources in the city to take action."

Kailin packs away his large metal maul and instead takes out his long, thinner lucerne hammer as he shrugs to Sigrid. "I can't imagine that even a standard guard would have made much of a difference in what took place there. We're talking about stealing the souls directly from living things. Guards shmards, I think." He shakes his head sorrowfully, thinking about what that event must have looked like. "And let us just be as prepared as possible if they do come after us. That's as much as we can do and hopefully our gods will be with us."

As the group get settled inside the cave, they begin to smell something pungent. That pungent smell soon became malodorous, and then just plain foul. The sound a growl can be heard deeper inside the cave...

<OOC> Benthus says, "Roll survival or knowledge/nature"
GAME: Kailin rolls bardic knowledge +2: (15)+bardic knowledge+2: 17
GAME: Malkael rolls survival: (8)+10: 18
GAME: Haggerty rolls knowledge/nature: (10)+8: 18
You paged (Kailin, Malkael, Haggerty) with 'Without seeing what it is yet, you are sure that it is a grizzly bear. But the smell is definitely not something a living bear could produce, but something that of death and decay.'

Malkael has been tracking the group, staying out of the way and doing as he is tasked, making sure everything goes without trouble. However with all the undead activity he's seen the group engage in he has decided that perhaps having someone to watch his own back is not a bad idea. Walking out from the woods he holds up a hand, despite his dark appearance and hoping his grim countenance doesn't count too much against him. "Hail... I have come to render assistance." he says from behind the steel helmet that covers the top of his face. "From that smell you may need it."

"To even wield such power is staggering. This requires artifact level abilities and handling techniques. Only the guild's veterans should ever bother with this kind of terror," tells the pale guy, "But you two can whether this for as long as we must." With a shrug, "They had a heavily armored guard, the one the monsters re-purposed when we got to Glenspiel. They were more interested in the profit than in the safety. Follow the wiles of Rada they do. Guarding is important. Order must be enacted for cultures to thrive. Within reason. That is for..Some other time.."

Sigrid says to Kailin, "They might not have been able to stop it. But they might have recognized sooner that something was wrong, and helped the town organize an escape." She shrugs to

Haggerty. "Though I suppose it's foolish to speculate now." She sniffs. "Ugh, what was that?" she wonders, glancing into the depths of the cave. Wait? "Someone is outside?" She puts her hand on her sword hilt. But ambushers would just attack, yes? "Who goes there?"

A large ursine creature comes lumbering into the light of the camp's fire. For those with enhanced vision, they can actually see that the creature has large gaping wounds on its sides and head. Maggot can be seen crawling out of the open wounds. The creature has lost one eye, but the other eye is glazed by a milky white film, effects of the optical lens decaying. It is likely attracted to the heat produced by living flesh than that of the fire nearby.

Kailin turns towards the growling as soon as he hears it and lowers his hammer in that direction, back to the cave entrance. "That smell..." He shakes his head and says, "A bear... but... an undead one. Like the townspeople. So the town was not the only target." He mentions with a casual say, "I'll do my best to try to remain upright through this particular fight this time." He resets his grip on the end, the long weapon, making him feel a touch safer.

Haggerty moves his head to tell his assent to Sigrid's statement. He motions for Kuno to keep to his back while the wizard awaits what is to come, preferably away from the actual trouble, "<<Incomprehensible wizard talk.>>" He shudders and casts his spell, a pale, blightly colored ray aimed to dismantle the undead to a degree, but the attack goes wide, because the human is not equipped to see in the dark. The zigzagging stream of arcane energy goes right over the thing.

The zombie grizzly bear comes roaring and charging at the female sunblade. One of its massive paws swings from the side and clips Sigrid on the thigh, and attempt to grapple her. But she manages to maintain her balance and move away from its deadly embrace. But the claws manage to rend through her armour and cut her flesh deeply.

Sigrid is philosophizing one moment, and then she's got a zombie bear in her face. "Daeus!" she gasps, and reaches for her sword. How she keeps back from it's paws is a miracle pure and simple, but she does, slashing back at it with a good solid blow from her sword. "Looks like it's not over yet," she says to her friends.

Kailin begins circling as the bear charges at Sigrid, moving around the side of it and keeping it within the long reach of his polearm. As Sigrid slips the bear's hold, he whips the weapon downward, smashing it into the bear's flank, but there is not nearly as much damage as he might have liked. And from his experience, only a complete destruction of these things will keep it from moving. He keeps the weapon at the ready, aiming to take another strike.

Malkael comes walking out of the woods, drawing the long steel greatsword, heavy boots pounding dirt as he closes to leave a long gash in its side. "Stand firm sunblade. You have support." he says calmly and cooly despite the intensity of the situation.

The zombie grizzly continues its assault on the sunblade. It mauls her again, but this time, it manages to grab her and draw her to its decaying body. It rakes her hard with the claw that has her pinned to it.

GAME: You damaged Sigrid for -1 points. 7 remaining.

Sigrid is caught by the bear's second attempt at grabbing her, her luck doesn't hold out that long. But she can try and do something about it. With a grunt of effort and a herculean strain, she manages to get control of one of the paws, and there's a shift, and suddenly, she's the one in control of the grapple. Small wonder with her attention on a giant undead bear wrapped around her that her prayers to Daeus for healing are not as bright as they might be.

Kailin sees the bear get ahold of Sigrid and goes all out, letting a roar loose as he winds back his polearm. Sigrid actually gets the upper hand on the bear, but his rage is already loosed and he smashed down his weapon. It speeds through the air and the square hammer end smacks into the bear's side, breaking through its flank and crunching ribs. The head of the hammer buries itself deep within the bear's chest and Kailin yanks it out violently, bringing with it oozing dead flesh as the bear goes limp in Sigrid's hands. He suppresses another yell for the good of not attracting more attention, but his shoulders slump and he leans heavily against his weapon, looking towards the newcomer. "Hail..."

The cave is quiet. A contrast to the howling winds outside. All seems to have settled for the moment. For the moment, the group can rest at ease.

Malkael offers Sigrid a hand after the bear has been dispatched. "I'm the backup." he mentions grimly, the glowing hand healing the process. "I am Malkael, is anyone else hurt?"

Sigrid breathes a sigh of relief for the healing, slight as it is. "Thank you," she says, bowing her head. "The town has been completely destroyed," she reports. "We're trying to get back to Alexandria to report."

You paged Haggerty with 'Looking at the corpse of the bear, you find a symbol branded on its forehead. It's one of the symbols of Thul.'

Haggerty breathes and views the charging folk and their swinging of immense weapons which reminds of home, only with less axes. He squints his eyes and watches the scenery for a moment, "We need to throw the dead flesh out, please. Or get moving." Then, "Greetings, friendly assistant. Do you have a writ from the guild, maybe?"

Kailin rests a bit, letting the tingling in his blood drain from his system. He gives a nod to Malkael and says, "Glad to have you. I think there's something that doesn't want us to make it back to the city though." Once the adrenaline has faded, Kailin does his best to try to heal the wounds on Sigrid. It is negligible, but it helps. "If you can help us get back, obviously that would be very much appreciated."

Haggerty struggles with the huge bearskull for a moment to roll it out of the cave, but pauses, his narrow chest heaving with the strain, "Swordmaiden and guys? It is Thulites. See here, please. The symbol is unmistakable."

Malkael offers a scroll, with the seal of the guild on it. "I can take first watch if you need rest. Se to your wounds." he says taking watch his enormous steel and wood repeating crossbow.

(Group goes to rest. First watch: Sigrid Malkael. Second Watch: Haggerty, Kailin)

A twig snap somewhere close outside the cave's mouth.

You paged (Sigrid, Malkael) with 'You see a lone figure crouching low and approaching the cave's mouth with two weapons drawn, one on each hand. A scimitar. The other, a kukri.'

Sigrid looks up as the twig snaps. She grips her greatsword and looks around for the source of the noise. "Halt!" she calls out pretty loudly. "Who goes there? Show yourself!" She peers at the shadowy figure intently.

Malkael looks up, raising his mechanical crossbow to his shoulder and then looks at Sigrid and gestures over to the cave with his head "Supicious individual..." he says before nudging the others with his boot, crossbow fixed on the cave mouth.

"I didn't thought there would be anyone coming to these parts anymore. Considering how efficient my brotherens have been in culling the living. But I am lucky to have found your trail. And it looks like you are worthy foes for my consumption. Soon, your powers will be mine. And I. I will become part of the elite." Says the man covered in dark, green tattered cloak with his scimitar and kukri at the ready. He grins malevolently as he breaks away from his cover and attacks the first one nearest the cave entrance.

Sigrid grunts, "He said we're foes for his consumption. He's not going to come along quietly." She shakes off his hit, channeling some positive energy to try and counter the wound, while hacking back with her greatsword. Her blow is weak, though, and even with Daeus's favor, it's not a true enough strike to draw blood.

Haggerty is kicked and jumps to his feet with beady eyes. Kuno stays at his neck by biting into the shoulder section of his cape, then slides into the waking wizard's hood. Rubbing dirt from his eyes, the northman is faintly aware of what is going on and sees folk engaged in melee once more. One has a bolt sticking somewhere. He mistakes the precise coloring and frequency of the assailant's bloodletting to hit him with another pale ray which hits but does nothing. This madman is alive! He purses his lips and has another option now which seems to be very much in order.

Kailin sitrs at the sound of battle and curses himself for being caught asleep. He scrambles to his feet and to gather up the weapon laying near his hand, trying to asses the situation as quickly as possible. He knew who his allies were and he knows they are faced off against a cloaked individual so there's no question what side he's on. He begins belting out a booming dirge, singing his allies on to victory. He clenches a fist as his notes sustain, the deep sounds echoing through the cave entrance.

The intruder is very good with his weapons. So much in fact that he is able to cut Malkael close at the neck. Just an inch more and it would have been his jugular. He continues his flurry of blade with a kukri past his thigh muscle, aiming for his femoral artery. "Wonderful! So much potential. You will indeed make me very powerful!"

Kailin dramatically dips low with a long step in rhythm with his song and his long arm scoops up his polearm. As soon as he brings it to bear, that is the only hesitation he makes before he darts forward, a sprinter out of the blocks. He brings his weapon in an arcing swoop, the long weapon sliding out and around the field of view to come darting in again at the murderous cannibal. It swings wide of its mark and wooshes through the air as Kailin redirects the weapon back to a neutral position, all the while signing his song.

Haggerty is rather out of spells to affect others with or effect them, but there is another source of mana stockpile to tap in which he does. The dagger the young wizard uses flies right past the nasty attacker and so the most useful thing to do is catch it back when it returns to the arcanist's hand.

<OOC> Kailin says, "Ah. Just the flank then. Regular old attack."
GAME: Kailin rolls melee + 2 + 1: (9)+6+2+1: 18

Kailin moves around the fighting to try to get behind the cannibal just as Malkael goes down. He skates the outside edge of combat, his weapon staying warily between himself and the cannibal as he goes. He continues past to give himself room, then pivots and steps in behind the cannibal, trying to catch the cannibal off guard while it is busy fighting Sigrid. His weapon wings horizontally now that he is on the side free of allies and he lets it loose with abandon, trying to connect with a desperate shot. He moves out of the way just in time and the hammer head misses its target a second time, but he has the figure trapped between himself and Sigrid now with his song still booming loudly.

It is now Sigrid's turn! Malkael is next!
GAME: Sigrid rolls 1d20+9: (17)+9: 26
GAME: Sigrid rolls 2d6+11: (8)+11: 19

Sigrid fights on, desperation and piety combining to guide her blade. She swings across at waist level and plants her greatsword hard in the fellow's middle, doubling him over as she follows through. He drops, motionless finally, and she says a soft prayer for his soul.

Kailin finishes out his song and gives the man on the ground a swift whack with the haft of his hammer. "Damned creature." He motions and says, "If there are more of these as indicated, we'd best be moving on quickly." He grabs the dead body by the ankle and lifts it into the air. "Perhaps we burn this one with the bear?"

Sigrid nods to Kailin about getting out of here. "Maybe it'd be better to forget sleep and move all night, whatever the weather?"

Haggerty flexes his hands and stashes the dagger again. The blue-clad man lowers his head to the warrior skald, "Sounds good, but we need enough dry wood for this. Let us search him first, but please be careful. This guy was too darned good. Took many strikes that would hack most wild humanoids in two, fell many militia men. The flesh eating part is particularly worrisome."

Kailin nods to Sigrid and says, "Sounds about right to me. These things don't have any trouble getting to us in the weather so we'd just be sitting ducks." He tosses the body down in a heap by Haggerty and says with a smirk, "Search away, at your pleasure." He moves quickly to begin packing up the camp so that they can leave as quickly as possible without leaving too much behind.

Haggerty says to Sigrid and Kailin, "Making headway sounds good enough. Agreed. After we buried or burned as we have to. I do not want to fight this creep again."

Haggerty does just that and begins the strip search.

Sigrid frowns at the body, then shakes her head. "Let's not burn him. Now that I think about it, our people may need to come back and examine him for clues. Let's just ... say a prayer for his soul and get moving that much faster?"

Haggerty first says, "Guess we have to." He sighs before he resumes pointedly while the strangely long tongue is what kuno maneuvers all over the back of the blue eyed man's neck, right under his shock of braids which tickles, but the situation is grave enough, "I want to take his weapons to be sure, but he attacked us like a warrior."

Kailin takes whatever time is left to rip the bear's head from its body with a massive pull and says, "We'll take this with us and they can examine this. Also, it makes for good showing during the recounting of the tale." He hooks his belongings over one shoulder and hangs the bear head over the other one. "Alright. Ready when you are."

(Start of story)

A messenger arrives at the place that you frequent to deliver a missive for you. In the letter, sealed with the symbol of the explorers' guild, is an invitation to a nearby warehouse where the new guild house has been relocated. You are familiar with the place and know where to find it. The invitation is very short, stating that there is work for you should you accept it.

As you arrive at the warehouse, you see several individuals stationed at the place's choke-point, all dressed for combat. They have an intense look in their eyes, as if their gaze can kill. And likely some of them do. Most of them look at you, but immediately recognize you for who you are. Just like that, they ignore you, giving you access to the area.

As you move further on, you spot other guild members strolling in the premise, doing odd end jobs only who knows what for. But most likely important. Nobody tells a murderhobo to do something inane anyways. It is too expensive to do so.

You follow a person who took a notice of your presence and ushered you to the briefing room. Most likely, this is his part time job in the guild until he gets called forth to do a commission. He opens a door for you and waves you in. The door is promptly closed behind once you stepped inside.

There are several other people in the room, either sitting down or standing or some other posture that would likely look cool in the public. All seem to have their attention focused on the man with dark red and black coat sporting a 3-day stubble on his face. Despite being rugged and handsome, the man doesn't seem interested in anyone's attention, going straight for the topic in hand.

"Alright, listen up, kill-jocks and hero-wannabes. We got something going on at the northern part of Alexandros. It seems like one of the villages there has stopped supplying us with some of their commodities. Commodities that this city needs. We want them to return to their normal activities right away or else there will be a lot of pissed-off people who will be clamoring up some politician's behind which will result with our asses getting spanked. And not in a nice manner."

He begins handing out papers which provide some intel on the location of the place, the population size, the local heads that you should get in touch with, and what commodities you should take an interest in preserving. There are other information on the sheet, but it is only the ones that are highlighted that seem to be of interest as far as you are concerned. The problem would be in remembering all the information.

"Glenspiel. A backwater village near Felwood forest has provided the city with the material known as dark wood. Don't expect me to spoon feed you what it is, you only need to know that the city needs it. We've had a good rapport with the local chief in the area. Mayor Gorlein has been the resident authority figure for some time until we lost contact. He is a dwarf by the way and he doesn't like new comers much, so you all be on your best behavior when you meet up with him. Just because you are called there to do guild's work, doesn't automagically make you best buddies."

He shifts the groups attention to the map, which shows the layout of the city of Alexandria and the location of Glenspiel. There are various legends marked all around the area between the city and the targeted village, some having the skull and crossbones mark on them.

"We want you get to the place as soon as possible, establish communication with whoever is there that can get the ball rolling again and then make sure that whatever caused the hiccup to never happen again. I mean it. We need their goods, and any delays in their transport is going to result with people's head on the chopping block. Literally."

He raises his hand which suddenly causes the lamps inside the room to dim. He pulls out something from his pocket that looks like a gem. He shows the gem to everyone and then waves his other hand over it. An image begins to get projected upwards.

"Recent intel on the area indicates some unusual energy fluctuations. Negative energy fluctuations. I don't need to explain myself what that means. You just go there and rectify the situation if you see that it is contributing to the delay in the production of dark wood."

The images projected from the gem disappear and the lights from the lamps begin to shine back to its normal level. He stows his gem back in his pocket as he nods to you all.

"I know there isn't much information here. And that is why you have been called forth. We need those materials like last year, and anymore delays in unacceptable. We are taking a risk in having you do the job, considering that hiring you is as expensive as hell. But someone wants to get the job done right away and wants the highest success probability there could possibly be in this scenario. This could be a walk in the park wherein someone forgot the shipment date and everything gets sorted. Or this could be a planar invasion of the worse kind. Either case, you got to get that village back into the business of producing those darkwood for the city. And you are going to make that happen one way or the other. The guild has a reputation to uphold, it does not take kindly to failures, no matter what the odds may be."

He draws a deep breath and sighs, having come to the end of the debriefing and nods his head to those present.

"Transport is via teleporation, care of one of the resident mages in the guild, all cost paid by the employer. It'll get you within half a day of Glenspiel. Get there quickly, solve the problem, then get back. Your money will be waiting for you here, just as soon as the employer receives confirmation that the darkwood is on its way to the city."

Work is the only explanation necessary for Kailin to put away his journal and make his way to the warehouse. Entering inside, he follows and listens carefully, taking the informational pages and reading them over carefully. He reads them quietly, trying to concentrate on how everything fits together, then folds them up and slides them into his bag. "Got it." That's about all that he says to acknowledge his end as the man with the dark red and black coat doesn't seem particularly interested in much besides making sure the job gets done correctly.

The mission organizer nods his head and says, "Now go. Time is money. Get the job done, find proof of your success and deliver it back to HQ. You'll get your money as soon as it is verified." He doesn't say goodbye, he merely leaves the room and another person steps in. He says he will direct you to where the wizard is located.

You are assisted in finding the mage who will teleport you to your destination. When you meet him, he doesn't speak to you. He merely looks you over, checks on the person who brought you in, and begins waving his hand.

"Begone!" He says, and that is the last you heard from him. The world around you begins to change and a moment of light-headedness fills you. When you get your bearings back, you are in a different part of Alexandros. Based on what you remember, you are about half a days journey to Glenspiel. You make your way there now...

(Free RP)

Sigrid shakes her head to clear it. "Well," she remarks. "They are certainly interested in getting this done fast. But not fast enough to get us closer to our destination." She shrugs. "Well, I guess we walk from here." And she'll walk in the direction we were briefed to go.

Kailin heads out in the direction of Glenspiel along with the group, his long legs carrying him quickly with his equally long stride. He makes casual conversation if others are amenable to it but little about the job itself, since they all have such little information on it. Instead, he hums a light tune to give a bit of distraction for the journey.

As you journey towards the village, you detect something perceptibly strange about your surroundings. The closer you get to Glenspiel, the darker and more mistier it gets. What is even more strange is that the trees around you are showing signs of decay, or dying. The natural critters and birds that should inhabit this area seem to be hiding... or are not there at all. As you continue to progress, the mist gets more frequent and thicker. Then, as you reach around a bend of a road, you see something large standing on the road. You don't know what it is exactly as the mist at that very moment chose to cover it. It hasn't moved since you arrived.

<OOC> Benthus says, "Perception checks, please. The group is roughly 30 feet away from it."

You paged Sigrid with 'As hard as you try to pierce through the fog, you see little that could help you in identifying what it is.'
From afar, Sigrid will try to detect evil on it?

Sigrid makes casual conversation, though it's a little stiff since she lives at the temple and doesn't have a very varied life. She's fairly new to Alexandria, besides. She'll pause at seeing the shape in the fog, and she squints towards it. "Can you see what that is?" she whispers.

You paged Kailin with 'You see that it is very large, and appears to be carrying something very big, like a tree trunk. And you hear what sounds to be steel plate grating against steel plate.'
You paged Sigrid with 'As you give a moment to concentrate on the creature's aura, you see that it is covered in black. (evil)'

You paged Haggerty with 'You pierce into the veil of mist and see the creature for what it is. A skeletal ogre carrying a log for a weapon, covered in full plate armour.'

Kailin pauses as they come across the thing in the road. He holds out a hand as he stops, not that anyone needs to be warned - but better safe than sorry was usually his way. He whispers back and says, "Grinding metal, holding a big club... Some kind of construct. Something... unpleasant." He shakes his head slightly and says, "If you want to go around it, I'm good with that idea. Otherwise, this could be rough with just the two of us..."

Sigrid adds quietly, "An Evil one, too. I ... didn't know they could do that." She considers going around, but says, "I'm not too keen on having that running loose in the countryside, either. In the fog, maybe we can ambush it?"

The mist chooses this moment to leave the area. In doing so, it reveals that which is standing on the road. It is large, true, and it carries with it a club the size of a log. It is covered in steel plate (plate armour) and it looks at the world through empty sockets from is skull face. The Undead turns it attention on the group and without preamble, begins to raise its club to attack one of you...

<OOC> Kailin says, "Yeah, I'll do that in an effort not to die in the first round."

As the mists part suddenly, he nods to Sigrid and acknowledges, "Yeah... that might have been a good idea..." He hefts his Earthbreaker off his shoulder and holds it in front of him, warily. He is hesitant to charge into something without having an idea of what he is up against and all he can hope to do is survive the first moments of the encounter in order to give himself a better idea of what they are dealing with. He crouches slightly and waits, ready to try to deflect or dodge or both.

GAME: Benthus rolls 1d20+7: (1)+7: 8 (EPIC FAIL) <attack on Sigrid>

The huge lumbering undead creature has chosen its target: Sigrid. It moves it swiftly despite its size and hefts its huge weapon over his head. But whatever fate there its, it has chosen that moment to intervene in behalf of Sigrin. A low lying branch snags with the weapon that the large creature is carrying and causes it to swing down with less momentum and precision as it might have expected. It misses Sigrid... badly.

Sigrid has no fear as the horrible thing advances on her. She laughs at the danger, laughing derisively as it swings and misses her. "You'll have to do better than that!" she taunts, holding out her greatsword level. Stepping up, she swings it from the side, and slashes the thing pretty hard, though it doesn't seem to have hurt it as badly as all that.

Thoroughly whelmed by the instant travel and the sensation of being summoned elsewhere, this wizard attired man and the tiny dog who still lounges in a bag to peek out from it with the cutest soulful eyes and point one of his tiny forelegs here and there as he communicates in unintelligible snorts, follow the the two martial heroes and seem somewhat lightheaded in their de-lunched state. At last, the carrier sighs and readies one of his two strung and cocked crossbows, but has to steady his hat and aim while wandering sideways through the snow. The little pug dog spits some remaining boiled stomach out and whines very quietly. Bones splinter and the skeleton is maimed some. Good so far! Somebody is singing. Or something.

GAME: Sigrid rolls 1d20+13: (12)+13: 25 <attack on monster>
GAME: Sigrid rolls 2d6+8: (3)+8: 11<damage on monster, DR bypassed by smite>

Sigrid manages to evade another swing of the thing's tree-trunk club, this time by the good graces of Daeus, and she's a bit shaken at the near miss. She slashes back at it as it follows through with the heavy weight, though she's a bit off balance and her back foot slides as she attacks, taking some of the oomph out of her attack. It's enough, though, to cut into whatever foul magic is keeping the thing up, and it crumbles from her attack.

The path heading towards Glenspiel is once again open.

"Most excellent!" Kailin drops his song and lowers his maul. "That had me worried. One good shot from the trunk and I might not be around anymore..." He motions down and says, "I'm sure this has something to do with the commerce problem..."

Sigrid looks to the others, says, "Have no fear. The Platinum Dragon," she means Daeus, "will protect us." She nods to Kailin about the commerce, though she says, "If something like this is here, who can say what we might find in the village. Shall we go?"

Haggerty lowers his weapon and looks about, then at the ground to find obvious tracks like where this one waded along to get here or whether this big thing was installed here. The redhead flicks a few of his braids back and watches the others, "Very good work! If you couldn't hear it through the retching, I am simply known as Haggerty. It's the name I got when traveling here, anyway." He sighs to add, "Can we make some sense of the thing here, please, then march on? I do not want to dally although it is quite nice out, if we were to count the wildlife back in.."

Sigrid intruduces herself, "Sigrid Magni, Sunblade." She nods about moving on, starting on her way. "They were very eager to have us go as quickly as we could, so let's not dally here. We can search on the way back, if we need to."

Haggerty pages: Did the skeleton wander here? Is it here long? What was it made from? Is there snow or is it nasty and wet? Anything prominent to glean from the fancy armor?

You paged Haggerty with 'It is snow, but your survival skill still manages to give you an idea of what happened in the area. It looks like this thing (the undead) was dragged into this particular spot and animated. Those who brought it to unlife left into the direction of the village. The armour is particularly large, which means that it has been specifically made for this creature. Where it came from, you have no idea.'

Haggerty finds a leaf for himself to chew on and gets the canine some water from a puddle to wash its mouth. "Glad to have you. Indeed, let us move on, but not too fast. Charging head on is always a good idea, mind, but look at the way this poor soul's remains were pulled up here. It got animated on the spot to guard the way. Sadly, I cannot tell, if any alarms are triggered by its demise. We got to see to the burial on the way back, if there is nobody left to do it." When the little one's senses are ready again, the thin guy in the robe walks with the others.

You paged Kailin with 'You know very little about this undead. You have some knowledge of the area and realize that this creature is not from around this parts. That is about it.'

And so the three adventurers continue on with their mission in finding out why Glenspiel has stopped delivering dark wood. As they continue onward, they come up to the village's farm lands. The sight of dead cattle can be seen where the snow has not covered it yet. There are no creatures to be found alive as you move on. No people either. As you get closer to the village, you see signs of disturbance on the road. There is a cart on the road filled with spoiled farm products. The beasts of burden that had been pulling it are dead on where it has been attached to the cart. It looked like it has been stabbed, slashed and bludgeoned to death. The group continues even further. When then reach the village, the see that it is deserted. The group starts to search for survivors. There are none. Not even the bodies could be found. Not until they come to the village's festival ground. The bodies of the dead have been piled up into a heap. Snow has covered most of it, but it is still visible. Now you know why Glenspiel has stopped production. All it's inhabitants are dead.

Sigrid sighs wistfully. "This is unfortunate," she says sadly. "A whole village slain. Can anyone see a cause?" she asks. "I think the thing we fought could ... not have caused all this by itself?"

Kailin follows along and mentioning with a shake of his head to the others, "It could have. That thing definitely did not come from these parts. If the village was not prepared, it could have caught them unawares." He shrugs faintly and adds, "But likely you are right. There may be more that caused this and I'm not sure if we can accomplish our job with this being... as it is. We need to figure out a way to make these woods right again."

Haggerty grinds his teeth as he makes a face, "Very much unprepared. The basic reason would be money. The wood is magical and fetches quite some money, but wholesale slaughter when they could have, well, acquired the wares with a few bonks on heads means there is no sane reasoning involved here. I am new to the kingdom and the city, so I have to ask. Do we have any jurisdiction here beyond self defense and basic problem solving, please?"

Sigrid says to Haggerty, "I am a Sunblade," a Paladin of Daeus. "We /certainly/ have jurisdiction to fight a clear evil. Anyone from the Adventurers' Guild has that, in fact." She nods about making the woods right again, but asks, "Do you know how?"

Whether it is the warmth of your bodies or the sound of your voices, five of the frozen corpses begin to move. They slowly stand up and stare at the three adventurers with their death-glazed eyes. They start to lumber towards them, swaying from side to side like imbalanced puppets..

Sigrid's blade is out again, and she's exhorting her companions, "Come on now, it looks like the dead need to be reminded they're at rest." She moves towards them a little ways, and stands, blade drawn.

He squints his eyes when things get moving again and shoots a bolt at the incoming trouble before he first goes to pull the long stick from his back, but then choses a dagger he pulls from the pouches on his belt. The attacker's swing goes flying which is a weird and new sensation which makes it scientifically interesting, but there is no time! "They are rising! Darn it."

He did hit and made the bolt count, but not as much as the young wizard would like, because the magically transformed villager's flesh has no cardiovascular needs to bother with.

Kailin shakes his head to Sigrid about how to fix the woods, but before he can say anything, the corpses start to move. These aren't nearly as big as the other thing, though so he feels more at ease in taking his chances. He lifts his maul into the air and gives a roar, much more ferocious than the deep tonal song that he gave previously. He dashes forward and takes a swing at one of the rising corpse, the heavy meal head swinging in an upward arc towards his target. It scatters the bones in a shower of splinters and Kailin carries the momentum around in a circle, leaving him open and vulnerable. "I gather it starts with continuing to fight the evil that comes at us. But there's got to be something around here causing it. Something or someone."

Kailin is slashed along his arm as he struggles to get his heavy weapon back into position from his reckless, but effective attack. He whirls around and brings his Earthbreaker overhead, directing the weapon back down into the earth, just over the head of the zombie. It plummets downward and catches the zombie right in the crook of its neck. It tears downward, burying itself in the ground and taking the right half of the zombie's body with it.

A bit of magic goes into him to cure his wounds and he gives Sigrid a nod. "Thank you..." He moves over to grab at the handle of his maul, picking it upright, but not lifting the head off the ground yet. "Always go after the injured one..."

Haggerty experiences the surge of holy energy knitting him back together while he regains actual consciousness. He shakes his head and sits up to make sure the little dog is sound and can breathe right. The beginner wizard then recalls the whole dead parts deal and senses that something got onto his clothes. He frowns and gets to his feet. When standing, the young arcanist mumbles, "Thank you, Sigrid."

Kailin glances around again and with a grunt to deal with th pain, he lifts his maul again, settling it on his shoulders. He moves over the area and says, "I'd like to see if I can tell anything of the magic in this area. Give me a few moment's please..." He begins concentrating on the area, casting his spell. His eyes go back and forth over the place, seeing the unseen as he works his magic through his senses.

Haggerty slowly shakes his head, "We cannot go. Not yet. You got the inquisition gaze, don't you? Can you see where the strongest evil is?" The pug snorts, but the stink remains, his senses much stronger than a human's typically are. The man with the besmudged pointy hat flicks his look over to Kailin then back at the holy warrior of Daeus. "Okay, I will look at the other quadrants."

<OOC> Sigrid will detect evil, then.
<OOC> Benthus says, "No more evil in the immediate vicinity, Sigrid. Place is clean. Relatively."

Sigrid squints all around the area for several moments, then finally informs the others, "I can't sense any further evil. If it's here, it's buried or hidden. I don't think there's anything more here we can do other than bury these poor folks."

You paged Kailin with 'You detect a large amount of powerful magical energy in the area, though in a state of decay. It is necromantic in origin. You suspect traces of 'animate dead' is being used, but something else. Something you are not at all familiar. It is like a soul siphoning thing. Looking at the dead corspes piled up, you notice that all of them have been stripped of their souls. Ripped out would be more appropriate. Whatever it is that came here and killed all the villagers and other living creatures, it wasn't interested in anything physical.'

Kailin shivers and shakes his head, stepping back, despite the fact that there was really nothing to step back from. He continues to work teh spell for as long as he can, reading the magical eminations in the area. "Whatever it was is gone now. And it left with these people's souls. Necromancy." He says the word with a bit of disgust. "But it is gone now and has left this mess behind." He looks to the others and says, "There is nothing more for us to do, it appears, besides to report the situation. If our contractor would like to move into the area to set up an operation that would continue the logging of this wood... no one here will contest his claim."

Haggerty nods slowly, "If these.. zombies rose from the pile, it might be there, under all the corpses. Enough material of any kind blocks most magic and holy sight methods. Any practiced methods of how we should get the pile pulled apart to find out? I cannot say, sadly, other than we need to be more careful than before."

Sigrid says to Kailin, "Before we go back, I think we can bury these folks. And some may have family outside the town, who may contest the company's claim." She nods to Haggerty. "Yes, let us lay them all neatly out, and then we shall see what may be seen." She'll move over to the stack and lay the bodies neatly on the open area.

Kailin nods to Sigrid and replies, "I will help in burying the bodies. But I have no say into matters of claims and stakes. That is for them to decide. But we have done our part to clear the wood of danger. It is up to others to continue the shipments in whichever way they work out amongst them." He nods again as he begins stacking bodies, feeling only a slight pain from the fighting. He thanks his magic for the relief as he does so, finding it to be more useful now that he has become an adventurer.

Haggerty nods slowly and rolls up the sleeves of his garments, "We have a plan. We.." He cracks his knuckles and shakes his head slowly, some of his optimism drained, which gives his words a tired ring which is no less compassionate, but all the more sad, "They.. stole the souls. Snuck them away. You know how demons can be locked away or unapologetic criminals. Put their souls into gems for as long as is needed. It is a terrible punishment. Now.. now imagine somebody did that to everyone in the village. Likely every other creature in the area, too."

(Start of plot)

The news about a person hailing from one of Alexandria’s distant farming settlements was met with little interest. The man had a burning fever as a result of an infected wound to his arm. He only lived long enough to repeat his story twice to the local city guards before he passed away.

The city officials were over-tasked with other important matters to have their attention diverted to this case, so the job has been handed over to an aspiring council member with the incentive that should he remedy the situation, he might just get what he wants.

Allan Pyke, the interested council applicant, is a somewhat charismatic lad with some skill in the theatrics. He pounced on the opportunity of solving the undead rising, even though he has no experience in that particular field. Still, he did not waste time on finding a solution to the problem. He simply focused on what was needed, which was gathering intelligence on the supposed undead-overrunned village, determine if it is true or not, and then inform the council of his findings.

Aided by the city council’s treasury, and some connections with the guild of explorers, he picks out several names for his operation. After doing some cost-cutting on the matter and some more evaluation of each member, the final group of individuals is made.

Allan had a contract made with the guild with the express interest that those names being selected would be the ones doing the operation. The contract has been accepted by those of authority in the guild, and a meet-up is made with people selected.

(Point of view of the players)

As you arrive at one of the guild’s temporary work place, you are ushered to a room where a few others have been gathered. Once you have settled yourself, the mission debriefer provides the group with what they know so far.

"A day ago, city guards at the gate stopped a sick man from entering the village as is demanded by the health protocol we have here. He was interrogated as to his purpose of coming to the city. According to the officer who questioned the man, the sick man said that his village is overrun by the undead. The person managed to get away to seek help. He said that he got bitten during his escape by something that walked on four limbs. The man appeared delirious and what was said is doubtful, but again, city’s protocol demands that any news of the restless dead must be confirmed, and thus your presence here."

"Mister Alan Pyke has ‘requested’ that you be part of the reconnaisance mission. He has allocated a great deal of funds as well as procuring many favours to make this happen. Why he has chosen you guys, I don't know, but he seems to think very highly of you all. Or what you have done."

"Mission objective is this simple. Go to the village called 'Netherway', determine the presence of undead, and find out the status of the villagers. Return immediately to the city with whatever news you get and then return to the guild to get your pay. It is that easy."

"The man wants answers right away, so transportation has been allocated to you in the form of horses. If you have other modes to get there then you are free to use that, but you will not be refunded for any cost that your means of transportation requires."

With that, the mission debriefer ends the debriefing and gives all of you your contracts to sign and return.

The distance toward the village of Netherway is four days on horseback.

Kroth grunts, its his prefered form of communication. He looks to the others chosen for the job, nodding "We go find problem, then return. Simple."

Zalara quirks an eyebrow at the name of the village, "Netherway I wonder where they got there name from.

It seems like there should be some connection to what's happening here with that name. At any rate it seems very ominous. Netherway...like a way to the Nether World or something like that." She shrugs a little bit.

Fayde rides along trailing somewhat behind the party with his staff slid in along the side of the seat.

He's quiet as he goes, his gaze heavenwards as always. His is a dream-touched aspect after all, he is more tied to the heavens than most, even for one of his auspicious bloodline. The young sorcerer hasn't been keeping up with conversations as a result, he's never been one to keep up with things around him under such circumstances. The skies are his first and last concern, as befits the professional astrologer.

Schneider was here, but distracted, or so it might seem to the uninitiated. He is, in fact, communing with fire spirits. In his imagination or something. He rides along easily enough, though his feet hand particularly low, nearly dragging through any braken.

The group departs from the city of Alexandria and make their way towards Netherway. The first part of the journey towards the village is uneventful. The cold of winter has made it hard for people to go traveling. Still there are some roving sentrymen from Alexandria who patrol certain areas, and the checkpoints are often manned by guards who actually are doing their job. On occasions, peddlers and farm merchants can be seen on the road, escorted by hired sellswords, some if not all are from the explorer's guild.

As the group is about a days away journey to the village, strange sightings begin to appear. A murder of crows has been spotted flying over the roads as if they were looking for something. Strange mists would suddenly appear out of no where, covering the entire area, before dispersing just as quickly. The sound of birds and other animal calls seem to have diminished if not has disappeared all together.

An foreboding feeling falls on the group. A sense of being watched and observed. It becomes increasingly apparent that you and your party have been discovered. You feel that it is no long a question of 'if' you will encounter something bad on the road, but when.

On the last eve before you reach the village, your group sets up camp.

Kroth grimaces, looking up at the sky after they have setup camp. "This is very strange, that the oddness is so widespread, yet no one beyond a single farmer has spoken out. It is still a good distance to the village and yet." He simply gestures about, "This feels wrong."

Stirling rides his own horse, a trusty steed of the breed riden by the cavalry of Blar which the hobgoblin has some skill at riding. None the less he comes as prepared as he ever does, clad in his chrome armor and fists, furnace on the back belching black smoke into the air as he rides and a large black deathray held across the saddle with its four barrels. "I think its an undead thing, they always feel wrong. Just in the firepower we are bringing to see us through."

Zalara is riding her hoverbike and she looks around as she has her goggles on. She looks around, "My common sense is tingling, something not right here." She gets out her death ray and holds it close as she drives along.

Schneider rides on in just his loincloth, the cold not touching him at all, it would seem. "I have a foreboding feeling. Like we're being watched," he says as we draw closer to our destination. "And I don't hear any animals or birds."

Fayde is quiet for most of the trip, though not entirely oblivious. The young sorcerer peers about big eyed as he thinks to himself on the significance of the phenomena."This is not weather. The cosmic bands are not visible, and the wind is moot so those birds should not be flying this way nor should there be fog of that sort at all. The season is for a southerly wind and no mist whatsoever away from the rivers..." He tends to his horse with a light patting after dismounting for the camp.

Kroth grunts, "I agree this is wrong, we all sense its wrong. Why hasn't this come up before it became this widespread? We are still far away from the village, this must be a very large area of foulness."

Schneider says to Kroth, "I think that as far as we are from Alexandria, there's nothing else in the vicinity." Fayde gets a shrug, he doesn't care much about weather. He can only shrug to Zalara's comment.

"Clearly /something/ is going on. And bad enough that they only want us to find out what it is and run away. But if that's what they're paying for, that's what I'll do."

Fayde rubs the back of his head as he glances to the others with a clearing of his throat as he offers,"I can take first watch if y'all want to catch a quick shut eye, I'll burn any trespassers with prejudice."

He nods curtly at that before squinting the weariness from his eyes."I'd like to observe for a bit longer anyway. See if I can discern the nature of what's causing it."

Stirling grunts "No kidding, although we cannot say what the problem requires until we investigate." he notes as he takes the saddles off of his horse. "Sounds good, I will take the next." he notes to Fayde.

Zalara stretches out, "A rest sounds good. I'll take last watch if no one else wants to." She stops her hoverbike and looks around for a good spot.

You hear the sound of growls and snarls far before you can see the source of the sound. Waking all of your companions for the inevitable encounter, you determine where your foes are coming from and more importantly, what they are.

The sound of growls and snarls are becoming louder far too soon than you had hope for, giving the impression that whatever is heading your way is moving really fast. As for the direction of where the sounds are coming from, you realize that it is all around you. Apparently, this is a coordinated attack with the intention of surrounding you and preventing you from escaping.

In the darkness, you can see the yellow glint of feral eyes staring at you and your team mates. There are many of them, forming a circle of eyes all around your camp's perimeter. They seem to be observing you, checking out what your reactions would be now that you all are aware that they have you surrounded.

One of the monsters dares to step out of position and reveal itself in the light of the group's camp fire. A gaunt, bipedal creature with skin of ebony black presents itself. It is slightly hunched down, its long, dangling arms often times used in moving around.

Its black, leathery skin appears rough and heavily scarred, giving the impression that it has lived a harsh, if not tormented life. Something appears to be wafting off the surface of its skin, like dense steam. But the heavy mist that seem to be evaporating from their skin surface is greenish in color.

The monster's face resembles that of a man but with its nose shriveled off and its lips curled backward in perpetual snarl. Instead of normal incisors and flat teeth that humans posses, this one only has sharp long canine teeth. And it has it in abundance.

It hisses menacingly, opening its mouth wide, much wider than is physically possible for a humanoid creature, exposing it rows of razor sharp teeth.

Kroth grunts as he looks around, passing a wand to Fayde. "This is magic armor, can you use on me?" He then readies himself for a fight, which requires no real prep since he is a monk.

Fayde takes the wand and taps Kroth with it, the item shimmering silvery in Fayde's hand as he invokes its power to protect him. He nods curtly at him,"You're set." He then flips the item once in a swishing motion before making to tap himself with it. Swish and flick, the proper procedure for wielding a wand!

<OOC> Benthus says, "Four get full hits. Even with a direct hit, the three creatures seem to survive being baked in a blast furnace, though very badly damaged. They don't appear resistant to fire however. Just... sturdy. Pose it."

Stirling doesn't seem deterred by the abominations, stepping forward and loading a rocket into the top barrel of his deathray and firing it into the greatest mass of enemies. A whispy smoke trail from his deathray flies into a knot of enemies and lights up the night with a powerfull explosion. "What did I say? Firepower. Overwhelming firepower." he says with a dark grin.

<OOC> Fayde says, "Bloodline ability"
<OOC> Benthus says, "Five are dead. Those who should be dazzled are dead too."

Fayde grins toothily as he steps up to the proverbial plate. His eyes shimmer with silvery arcane fire as his hands ignite, the flames flowing together into a small orb before him that he shoves in the same direction as Stirling's rocket. The firey orb streaks in to burst amidst the horrors with a detonation of white flame and dazzling starlight the illuminates the darkness briefly,"And the darkness was sundered by fire and starlight...DIE!"

Schneider watches to see what's going on, biding his time, it might seem, to wait for the right moment. Or it might be just that he's a slow waker up. Well, the one pack over there is well and truly lit up, he'll pivot 180 and light up a pack behind him. "Spirits of flame," he intones. "Heed my commands: burn everything!" And then the monsters are surrounded by fire.

Stirling grimaces, the furnace on his armor belches thick clouds of noxious smoke and the power cables to Stirling's titan fists surge with power. The cracks between the chrome plates of his armor glow blue and he reaches out and grabs the skull of a foe in each hand, one fist rimmed with frost and the other crackling with lighting. Between his grip the skulls of the undead begin to crack before be brings his hands together crushing the two between in a slash of gore which Stirling promptly wipes his hands of.

The onyx-skinned undead continue to carry away with their prey, but with the sudden appearance of Stirling (again), one is forced to engage him.

Fayde makes his way to his feet, looking around as he steadies himself with a bit of effort. Once he's found the world beneath him and the stars above him, he decides that the world is right as ever and he's still in the the thick of it. He steadies himself off the stars above and draws a bead on the one attacking Stirling with a silvery hand, his palm raised to produce a trio of whirling motes of light that streak forth to nail the undead creature squarely in the chest and punch a burning hole through it."One more down..."

Fayde returns the salute with a grin moments before sending another volley of magic missiles streaking brilliantly towards the last standing undead creature. The poison clawed beast drops as its head is cored and Fayde makes his way to check on Kroth.

<OOC> Zalara says, "If they are all dead I'll fly down to Schneider and use a CLW on him to heal him."

(First scene ends here. Schneider, Kroth and Stirling return back to the city to inform the guild of their finding. The guild sends Dire Wolf as reinforcement to the team that wishes to find out the fate of the villagers. The remaining group took some time to heal up.)

As the group make their way towards the village of Netherway, they discover that the place is situated in a valley between two imposing hills, with one of its sides facing a large, deep chasm. There appears to be only one safe route going into the valley and that section is presently covered in thick snow. Passage through this area would be slow, but the alternatives are worse.

It is presently noon time, but even at this time the sun can barely pierce the gloom that has befallen the village. Thick mist of unknown origin continue to blanket the place like a perpetual shroud, severely reducing visibility.

The group trudge through the thick snow and make their way into the village. So far, nothing has stirred inside the village.

All the buildings appear to be intact, except for certain areas that has either been bashed down, or ripped off. There is a metallic smell in the air, a familiar scene often associated with fresh blood. There are blood splatters on some sections of the buildings nearby, but no corpses have been found so far.

The group continues to search for signs of life until someone in the group notices that further down the streets, some of the buildings have shown structural damage. Inspecting the damages from a distance, the group manages to learn that some sort of explosion has occurred that resulted with the affected buildings' side blown off or shorn away.

Tracing the path of damages roth by the hypothetical explosion, a massive hole on one side of the hill that surrounds the village is revealed.

Zalara finds a place to park her hoverbike and she gets off to look around. She has her death ray out and she hmms as she looks over the village, "Something bad happened here." She says as she pulls her goggles down and activate them to look for any signs of magic.

GAME: Zalara rolls knowledge/engineering: (9)+12: 21

You paged Zalara with 'Since you've engaged some of the improved ghasts, you surmise that they were the

ones who broke into homes and attack the occupants.'

Whether she possibly overheard some echoing destination, is distrustful of the unnatural miasma in the valley, or caught some suspicious scent on the wind, a large, light-pelted lupine descends the hills into the valley. Her coat blends well with the snow-covered ground and foliage, neither of which seem to impair her movement.

Fayde has his own new spectacles on as he looks around, eyeballing for anything out of the ordinary. He adjusts their position on the bridge of his nose as he narrows his eyes to get a closer look at things through the long distance viewing specs, they're intended for astrological viewing but they work fine for jobs like this he reckons. He makes his way over to the parked hoverbike and its occupant stepping out.

Zalara is checking out some of the broken buildings and she hmms, "Looks like something those ghasts we encountered before can do. Those things were big and nasty. These poor people."

GAME: Fayde rolls perception: (13)+8: 21
You paged Fayde with 'There is blood splaters in most of the building that you have inspected. But surprisingly little blood. You notice though that there are drag marks on the floor and deduce that the people in the village have been taken away. Whether they are dead or not, you don't know. But you know that most, if not all, did not die inside their homes.'

Fayde kneels down to inspect a bloodspatter, then a drag mark. He hrms to himself as he follows it with his unblinking gaze for a bit just to get an idea where it goes."Well...these people were apparently abducted, in a fashion."

"The fools could have created their own destruction..." comes a growl, an intelligible one, from the sizable wolf as she reaches the valley floor and periphery of what remains of the village. She lifts her nose to the air in the area, then lowers it to the ground to gather information for her own opinion.

GAME: Fayde rolls 1d100: (94): 94
GAME: Zalara rolls 1d100: (62): 62
GAME: Dire Wolf rolls 1d100: (79): 79

You paged Fayde with 'Acute head ache. Feels like your skull is being split open. You then hear voices of people crying out in pain. The incident went as quickly as it came. The voices somehow linger at the back of your head.'
You paged Fayde with 'Will check please.'
GAME: Fayde rolls will: (15)+9: 24
You paged Fayde with 'You suffer no lasting effect (save success).'

Fayde puts a hand to his temple, then slides it to the back of his head with a groan,"People...screaming...This place, it is marked..." He rises to his feet shakily,"I can't...Goddess..." He winces and grinds his teeth for a moment more until it passes. He then exhales, rubbing his eyes to clear his vision."This is a bad place..."

Zalara nods in agreement, "Yes they probably did, they didn't get as lucky as we did. I did see a sizeable hole in one of the hills, perhaps that's where the undead came from." She looks at Fayde, "Are you all right? What happened?" She looks around death ray ready to shoot whatever is hurting Fayde.

<OOC> Benthus says, "Anyone want to roll knowledge/religion or arcana?"
GAME: Fayde rolls knowledge/arcana: (1)+6: 7 (EPIC FAIL)
GAME: Zalara rolls knowledge/arcana: (13)+19: 32

Fayde is still working his jaw and rubbing his head as the less pleasant sort of stars clear from his eyes, he's not the foggiest what just happened to him in his clearing daze,"I don't know, I just heard people screaming and...a motley of voices in pain and this horrid headache like my skull was tearing itself open..."

Dire Wolf peers at the half-mul and snorts, "The vile speak with the vile." Her muzzle lowers again to the ground and she begins to move about. Her concern is far less on the buildings or the missing denizens than on the earth and snows, themselves.

Zalara looks at Fayde closely and adjusts her goggles, "I think what you heard was a psychic scream. It's when the life force of a sentient living creature is being dragged in a painful method. It only occurs at the very height of pain. It has to be nearby or have been done very recently." She says as she continues to look around for the source.

All the buildings appear to be dark, except for one large building which appears to be the village's chapel. There appears to be light in the chapel, judging by the illumination provided through one of the painted glass windows. It was just for a brief moment before the light is extinguished and everything in the building is once again in darkness.

(Group decides to go into the chapel)

As the group make their way inside the chapel, one can feel a great sense of evil inside the area. It is like the very air itself has been corrupted causing the unnatural wind the sweeps through the inner halls to whisper words of profanity against the good gods. One can also notice that all the windows have been boarded shut, putting the entire building in darkness.

If the group has a light source of some sort, they can see profane writings etched on the walls. The place has been 'desecrated'.

Fayde shudders as he looks around at this place, feeling a little gunshy after his brush with the unnatural. He puts a hand to his glasses with one hand, then works his staff with the other to cast Dancing Lights.
GAME: Fayde casts Light. Caster Level: 7 DC: 16

Zalara hmmms as she examines the writing, "Well that's not good, desecrating a church is bad news." She tries to look to see who the church is too perhaps it will give some idea of who might have desecrated it.

Dire Wolf follows her nose, hackles rising at the desecrated place of worship. While she may not follow, or even trust, all deities, she is wise enough to at least respect them. She is far less dependent on light , but it is helpful nonetheless. "Why this valley? This village? This place?"

GAME: Fayde rolls knowledge/religion: (20)+3: 23

You paged Fayde with 'The chapel is dedicated to Verdama. The profane writings look that of Thul.'

Fayde takes a moment to inspect the script around the temple, verifying aloud,"This place was dedicated to the Gray Lady Verdama, this script however...is attributed to the followers of Thul." He snorts derisively at that."Light take them all."

"You are either very brave, or very foolish to have come this far, warm-skin." says a male voice, exuding both annoyance and anger.

"Break the land and break the chain..." this growl is low, annoyed. It suddenly grows deeper before snapping into a sudden snarl at the additional voice. Ears, then head, eyes, and subsequently body turn towards the source.

Zalara turns towards the voice and she has her death ray on him, "Who are you?"

Fayde spins on heel, his left casting hand arching in a claw manner with silver flame spring to life around it,"Explain yourself." He glares sharply at the insinuations of the voice addressing them.

From the darkness steps out a tall humanoid creature. As light is cast upon him, one can see that he has deathly white complexion with his dark veins visible on his skin like black thorns. Upon seeing his face, one would not be far from wrong in describing the person as beautiful, for even though his complexion is pasty white, he still exudes much charisma.

"I am called by many names, but I will allow you to call me 'Agony', for I am that to many. What is it that you seek here? Don't you see that there are no living creatures scurrying out and about? This place is dead. And so will you be if you stay any longer." Says the male voice threateningly.

Fayde sniffs as he stares down the bigger thing addressing them, eventually replying,"Why have you come here, what did these people do to deserve this?" He grips his staff tightly as he refuses to glance away for a second.

Zalara frowns at Agony, "Are you the one that caused all this?" She asks as she keeps her death ray aimed at Agony. "If so you've hurt a lot of innocent people."

"This place is not dead," the Dire Wolf growls, "Ea cannot be slain and will recover. Those responsible will not." She remains fixed on the ... thing, stepping closer. "You are not pain. You are nothing."

Agony replies menacingly, "They are a source of wealth. Their life force can be drawn into soul gems and used to barter with the denizens of the abyss, or the iron hells. They can even be used as bargaining chips to your celestial ally if there is a need for it. Once their lives have been sucked dry from their useless corpses, my brothers and sisters can feed on their remains. Nothing is wasted. Now, you have a choice. You can leave with your lives intact, or you can stay here and be cattle for us to drain of life force. What will it be?"

The otherworldy young sorcerer-astrologer raises his burning hand towards the thing that speaks to them. Fayde simply intones,"Eluna holds those accountable who defile the night. The stars harbor a rage all their own, it is you who will quit this place or suffer." He intones this with a bitterness that doesn't allow for mincing of words.
GAME: Fayde casts Shield. Caster Level: 7 DC: 16

Zalara looks at Agony, "Yah I don't think so." She activates her titan armor and casts a spell of protection on herself. "You are going down."
GAME: Zalara casts Shield. Caster Level: 10 DC: 17

Dire Wolf snarls at the fiend and looses a roar. One that grows louder, and deeper as the lungs behind it also grow.

Agony bares his teeth, exposing rows of canine teeth instead of incisors. "So be it."

Dire Wolf grows in mass and muscle, surface thickening into stippled dark hide and jaw expanding into a

massive reptilian maw filled with vicious teeth.

Agony did not like the fireball that hit him. It did not like the lazer beams that bore holes in his dead body. Most of all, it does not like the look on itself being all banged up.

Agony is filled with rage. Nothing will stop him from getting vengeance, and so he continues to attack Zalara, unmindful of the others that are flaming it or mauling it to bits. He goes about slashing the prone artificer, eliciting horrible wounds on her body. Finally, a second slash is made that brings her down completely. Zalara is dying.

<OOC> Benthus says, "You break it. Pose removing the stench of evil from the chapel."

The small sorcerer-astrologer looks on as the shapeshifter tears into the demonic undead reducing him to ash before looking to Zalara. Taking a moment to ensure she's still alive, he glances back to the shifter and says,"Let me see what I can do about the corruption of this place...no promises of course." He then renews the light at the end of his staff to get started.

Moving to the head of the chapel he clears his throat and offers a quick prayer for success to Vardema and Eluna, the ousted goddess of this chapel and his own patron respectively. Invoking his magic initially proves a bust, as he's still abuzz from the conflict he presumes. Not to mention the spell is new to him and as yet relatively unpracticed so he takes a moment longer to center himself properly. With that, he gestures a bit more broadly, intoning a personal mantra of his as he does. He radiates a silvery aura and the atmosphere...changes. His palm becomes bright like a star as he undoes the negative arcana releasing the curse upon the temple and he suddenly goes lightheaded with the eldritch release brought forth with his effort.

Allosaurus clears the undead detritus from her mouth and sinuses with a final snort. As the half-blood moves to cleanse the shrine, she leaves him be. Instead, her attention moves to the fallen one in foul-smelling artifice. She leans her muzzle down to bump Zalara, exhaling hot breath (and hopefully keeping the stench at bay) and calling upon Ea's own breath to mend some of her wounds.

Zalara ughs as she gets up and she looks around, "I hope we won cause if not I wanna speak to the Grey Harpist...I've been a good girl." She winces as she gets out some disks with green glowing liquid and she picks one to put it on her skin. She winces and ahs softly as the healing magic of her contraptions takes effect.

Fayde leans on his staff for a moment longer,"I hope this wins me a few towards redeeming my ancestry." He then rights himself from it to step towards the other two.

(Aftermath)

Agony has been guarding the passageway into a unhallowed catacombs found in the cellars below. Probably his handiwork. But the place had several people tied up and seated close to a gem that seems to be leeching life force out of them. There are not many, which makes one wonder where the others are. When revived, the prisoners say that some of the villagers were taken to an underground passageway that was opened up by an explosion. No one knows how the explosion came to be, but soon after that, the undead creatures were swarming out from under the hill and has been capturing and taking prisoners back into its dark depths.

(Start of the story)

Trouble is brewing at the corner of Gofred’s tannery, somewhere in merchant district. Someone is shouting obscenities, drawing a crowd towards their location. The source of commotion is from a balding, pot-bellied man who wears a rich, fur coat. His neck and fingers are adorned by jewelries. He is flanked by two beefy-looking flunkies who seem to be taking delight at the distress of someone else.

That someone happens to be a very young woman, no older than 18 years old, with a tattered cloak that she wraps around her like it could provide her protection for the angry man’s tirade. Her hands clasp the edges of her cloak as she weather the relentless verbal abuse she is getting from the man.

She’s slightly tall in standing, 5’7" in height, with dirty blonde hair that falls down to her waist. A blue ribbon ties her hair at just below her shoulder. Parts of her hair are braided to give her a dignified appearance, something she is struggling at the moment.

Her eyes are of the coolest blue framed by thin, dark brows that give her an intense look when she wants to. Her lips are ruby red and slightly pouting. The features of her face are smoothly angular and symmetrical.

She is beautiful.

"If I don’t get my money by then, your house is mine. Do you hear me!?" Screamed the fat, balding man, spraying saliva as he does so.

"I will have your money. Just stop harassing me and my brother." She responds as calmly as she could manage at the present circumstance, drawing her younger brother to her like she could protect him somehow.

The brother is about 7 years old, brown hair and the same smooth angular features that his sister possess. He attempts to look brave, scowling slightly at the one who is shouting at his sister. "Yes, leave us alone, you...over-sized toad!"

This gets the over-sized toad’s attention. He draws back his walking baton for a backhanded swing at the young child's face.

At the same moment, the sister saw what was coming and tries to cover her brother from the swinging stick. "Noo!"

With all the troubles of late Yngvild is almost always in her full plate armor, making her tall form even more imposing. She clanks towards the budding confrontation, a frown darkening her face "What is going on..." she begins in her deep contralto voice, then as the rich man raises his cane to strike the defenseless the Cleric of Angoron makes a grab for his arm. Missing that she does however get the length of wood. Her hard face twists in anger as she takes it in two hands and snaps it over her armored knee "Try that on someone who can defend themselves" she rumbles ominously as she tosses the two broken bits aside.

Kiroth hears the yelling going on and he is quick to move to see what happens. He spots the fat older man and the beautiful woman and her brother. He moves in to find out what's going on as he sees the older man raise back his cane. Kiroth rushes ahead and he puts his shield up to block the cane. He waits for it to hit and instead he hears the dull thump of flesh hitting his shield.

Duncan happens to be wandering through the same merchant district. The shouting draws his attention, as it's somehow different the normal haggling, hawking of merchendise, and other sounds you hear in the middle of a market. Then he hears the loud 'no' he guesses that something is not right and begins hurrying in that direction. "What's going on?" he bellows as he goes. The crowd finally parts and he sees for himself. "Stop this!" he points one finger in the direction of the merchant. "Stop or you'll regret it!"

A half-sil scoundrel happens to be walking the pathings and byways of the merchant quarter, no doubt on the heels of one of the many tasks that usually glean rumor from the general noise of communication of Alexandria's populace. Still, not exactly his business to interfere with well off merchant types with connections and bully boys 'less it happens to be against their interests indirectly. Grey eyes give a brief flickering glance to Duncan before focusing on the source of the commotion,"Now, I'm fairly sure assault in Alexandria - let alone on a child - would preclude involvement by the Watch and a fine of no less than 5 silvers and possible arrest." Latenat reaches up to grasp his smoke languidly as his conversational mode of interjection continues,"Which wont be that much of a stumbling block in truth one can imagine, but to be /seen/ having to deal with such, a reputation could suffer, 'tis all I'm saying." the scruffy half-sils grin is lazy and road.

Kira is drawn by the initial ripple of commotion and crude language. When fists or weapons are raised, she gasps and moves her way through the crowd. "Stop! Whatever's wrong, I'm sure we can resolve it..." She looks to the woman and child, then the other man and his associates, then to the others intervening. "What IS the matter?"

Schneider is walking along, eating ... something. Whatever it is, it seems like it's drippy meat wrapped up in some kind of edible wrapper. Or else he's eating the paper, too. But probably some sort of edible wrapper. There's some sort of street theater going on, so he pauses to watch it. As it plays out, he applauds. "Well done!" To someone beside him, he says, "The tall woman. That was well done, breaking that over her knee. Totally convincing." More applause.

The young woman had raised her arm instinctively to shield herself from the oncoming stick. But it never came. When she opened her eyes, she sees a man has placed himself between her and the pot-bellied rich man, shield drawn to receive the fleshy fist that hits his shield. She draws a quick breath, surprised at the sudden change of events. She winces slightly at the sound of broken bones, still feeling pity for the one who abused her verbally. Her eyes shift to those around her when she notices more and more people seem to have shown an interest in her predicament, and are assisting her. It had been so long before anyone had come to their aid. She felt hopeful, but denied herself that feeling as she knows it to be temporary.

The two thugs are a bit slow in reacting to the threat against their employer but eventually begin to act. Their first reaction is to attack the ones who are threatening their boss. Both of them take out saps and are prepared to use them against those they perceive are a problem.

As the thugs start forward the towering Aesir woman draws her huge earthbreaker. Taller than the child and likely heavier too she holds it easily between her two hands. A wolfish smile crosses her face, casting it into an even harder light "I am Yngvild Bloodmane..." she rumbles in a cold tone of voice as ice cold eyes move between the two "...Warrior of Angoron. I would suggest you back off, as the Iron Mountain has no time for those who threaten women and children"

Schneider seems to be enjoying the street theater, and he watches, rapt, to see what the fellows with saps think they can do to Yngvild. The Earthbreaker? This promises to be good! He finishes his meal and licks his fingers, half searching for another food vendor while keeping an eye on the altercation. "Take them down!" he calls out to her encouragingly.

Kira rushes the rest of the way to the escalating altercation and tries to de-escalate it. She slips herself between the angry man, his sappers, and everyone else, spreading her arms wide to shield and interpose facing the man and saps. "Stop this! Please! Why would you want to hurt anyone? It doesn't solve anything! What is wrong?"

Duncan moves to stand in between the thugs and the woman and the thugs - although now that he gets a closer look he realizes she's little more than a child. He pulls a flail out of his belt, and moving it lightly back and forth so that the spiked balls at the end of their chains sway.

Far be from it for Latenat to be the instigator in any conflict... his forte is information and rather more diplomatic endeavors. Still, he is no stranger to back alley skirmishes and is eyes harden as he places a hand upon the haft of the sap hanging from his own belt by a loop of leather. Sometimes actions or non verbal signals are far more eloquent than words after all.

Kiroth keeps his shield up and in between the fat old man and the young woman and boy. He pulls out his sword and points it at the thugs, "I am Sunblade Kiroth. You will leave or you will deal with me..." He looks around at the others who are here, "You will deal with us. You are outnumbered, stand down and let us figure out what's going on."

The two thugs are taken aback by the fierceness of the people who have stood against them. They thought they were only to contend against a woman, but now, it is more than that. Fear sets into their hearts and they feel like they have a better shot of escaping the ire of their employer than they are with these heroes. And so, with tails between their legs, they dropped their saps and run away.

Alone, the rich man favours his broken finger and realizes much too late that his body-guards have deserted him.

"Wait!" Said the fat rich man. "I am a very important person. Some of you look like you belong to the adventurer's guild. I am a very generous beneficiary to your organization. If you harm me, your guild master will not be happy with you."

"Please, don't kill him. He may be an evil man, but you can't execute him without due process." Says the young lady who was a few seconds ago about to have been hit hard by the man's baton. "It is not right."

From afar, Latenat would like to know if this merchant is a notable local figure!
From afar, Kira wishes to use LoH to help with the man's hand, and speak.

GAME: Latenat rolls Knowledge/Local+5: (1)+14+5: 20 (EPIC FAIL)
From afar, Latenat was using National Konwledge for two dice ';P
You paged Latenat with 'Gilbert Marfungs. That is the name of the rich fat man who almost attacked the girl. A very influential figure in Alexandria, offering generous amount of money to charity, and helping in sponsoring activities that would help the city prosper. But he is also known by another name. The collector. He doesn't collect material stuff, but people's lives. He denies it, but he has connection to the skin trade and most of his 'employed' staff he 'hires' off to business associates. He has enough money and influence to make the authority look the other way when he does something dastardly. It might not be good to tell everyone about who he is as you will likely get assassins after you. The young woman you know little of as she doesn't seem to be that important. But a name comes into mind. Sarah Kopins. You seem to find the surname familiar though.'

"No one is harming anyone," Kira assures everone. She lowers her arm and reaches, slowly for the injured man's arm. "May Althea's grace be upon you, and us all." With the touch, and brief prayer, she calls some mending comfort to ease the main's pain and injury. He smile returns and looks from the man to the young woman with whom there was the disagreement. "Could either of you please explain what happened?"

Yngvild allows herself a wolfish smile as the paid thugs retreat. That done she turns her hard gaze down to the rich man. She rests it there coldly for several moments "Your yapping curs have slunk off..." the huge cleric rumbles as that cold smile broadens "...join them" she finishes as any trace of a smile fades away "I was thinking a sound beating might be in order, but if he doesn't raise his hand again..." she says to the young woman but keeps her eyes on the rich man.

Schneider continues to watch, laughing with amusement as the two bodyguards decide there's safer places to be than in front of Yngvild's earthbreaker. "Kill him!" he shouts out to her in counterpoint to the man's pleas, and in spite of Kira's healing. It's street theater, right? "Show him what it's like to be the helpless one!" Because that's what this is about, yeah? "Stand your ground, shylock!" he shouts to the fat man. Because that's going to work SO well.

Duncan squints at the merchant, then begins to tuck his flail back through his belt. He casts a quick glance back at the lady, then pans his gaze around to take in the rest of the adventurers present. "Now wait just a moment - we don't even know who these people are! Who are you, girl?" he asks in what for him might pass for a mild tone. The only reason it seems so is that when he turns toward the merchant, his tone is gruffer and much more hostile. "Who are you both?"

Kiroth uses his banesight as his eyes glow with golden light and he looks first at the young woman and boy. He then turns his sight upon the old man and he narrows his eyes as he fights to stay conscious. He turns his sword upon the old man and he says to the woman and boy, "Get back away from here now." He looks at the old man, "Who are you?"

"Listen... Gilbert? Or do you prefer Mr. Marfungs?" Latenat's hand drops away from the truncheon he was considering defending himself with, proffering a shrug as if it were no matter as he puffs away upon his cigarillo,"I don't believe there is any benefit to you to remain here for at this juncture. Shall we bid each other a good day?" a not-quite-human eyebrow is arched speculatively at the merchant, providing a level head as he looks meaningfully toward the exit his thugs used.

The fat man eyes Latenat with what looks like surprise tinged with slight admiration. He continues to ignore the questions raised by the others around him. He does look uncomfortable though, considering that he is now without bodyguards. "You better keep your eyes open at nights now." He eyes Kiroth coldly and then directs his stare at the young woman, "You. You know the alternative. Just one night. Who knows. You might like it." He grins evilly.

The girl shivers in revulsion and says, "Over my dead body."

"That can be arranged." Says the old fat toad, before arranging his coat and going away before anyone could stop him.

"Thank you for interceding in our behalf." Says the young lady, a tinge of pain on her face as she continues, "But it wasn't necessary. The one you accosted is Gilbert Marfungs, a rich and powerful aristocrat who is said to be the head of a powerful criminal syndicate. I fear that you may have brought danger to yourselves for going against him." She sighs as he draws his younger brother to herself for support. Benjamin squirms but does not push himself away from her. "My name is Sarah Kopins. This is my brother, Benjamin. We live in a house nearby. I ask that you come with us and offer you something to drink. It is the least we can offer for your kindness. And I will explain what had happened earlier."

She leads the group to an old dilapidated house. There isn't much furnishing in the house and some of the guests are forced to stand up will drinks are being offered to those who entered. "This house used to be for visitors of my family who come in from far away. Now, it is the only shelter we have left that we can call our own. We used to live in a bigger home than this."

"A mansion with many servants and guards and cooks." Blurted out Benjamin, a big grin on his face.

"Hush now, Benjamin. That was in the past. We have to content ourselves with what we have now." Sarah places a comforting hand on Benjamin's shoulder. She looks sad as she continues, "But we may lose this one too unless we can pay up for the cost of the house. You see, the title to this house went missing, and for some strange reason, Gilbert Marfungs has papers indicating that the house partially belongs to him. But he would offer it to me if I were to pay the sum that he had bought it for."

"I have a powerful urge to break his face" Yngvild growls as she watches the slimy man head off. Leather and metal creak as she unconsciously clenches her fists around the oak haft of her hammer then lets out a slow breath, her gaze shifting to Duncan questioningly.

Duncan glances around the inside of the house as Sarah and Benjamin speak. His expression tightens at the story - or at least the part he hears of it, that of a once-proud clan fallen on hard times. When the tale is finished he turns to look Sarah. "You think this Gilbert Marfungs has any true claim to this house? Or is it some kind of underhanded merchant's trick?"

Schneider goes along with the group, because, free drinks. It's at once not what he was expecting, and exactly what he was expecting, and he comments sourly, "You seem to have fallen on hard times." He looks around at the group. "But, as I look around, I see the makings of an expedition that /might/ be able to restore your title." He smirks. "As well as provide a good drubbing to that toad and his toadies."

Kira wouldn't be so rude as to turn down hospitality, though she is much more interested in learning the story behind this rather than food. "You are very welcome, but he shouldn't be accosting anyone. If he's involved in other illegal activities, he will be found out and punished appropriately." When they reach the house, he smile widens at Benjamin's innocent blurting before she states, "You both have a lovely home. I don't want you to lose it, especially if it is some kind of trick. Do you know where the title might be? Could anyone else vouch for your ownership? Is it possible that his claim is true?"

GAME: Latenat rolls Knowledge/Nobility+2: (5)+8+2: 15
You paged Latenat with 'Do you remember the plot I ran entitled 'Hunter and Prey'? This girl is the last surviving member of that clan. But I ask that you keep this knowledge for now, as the story does revolve around her and her family.'

Kiroth goes to jump after the old man to try to grab him or stop him, but the old man is out of his grasp. He grits his teeth as the man gets away and he can't leave to chase on his own. He'll have to report this to the temple. He looks towards the young lady, "It's all right it will take more then him to scare me." He follows after the others. "Are you in danger of losing this home or the one that was stolen from you?"

Yngvild waves off the concern of the woman as she accepts a drink "Takes more than a puffed up nobleman to scare me. With that she moves closer to Kirth "What did you sense?" the towering Aesir rumbles quietly to Kiroth. Well quietly for her which is not far below normal speaking volume for normal people.

"I do not know of how he has partial ownership of the house, because that would mean that the real deed is somewhere and not missing. Yes, we fear of losing this house. We'd be forced to live on the streets." She looks down on the floor, forlorn. She raises her head again as she continues, "If you wish to aid us, then please, find the title to this house. We gave it to a friend of a friend, entrusting the deed to be given to the proper authorities. When we went to the city council to authenticate the ownership of this house, they told us that they have received no document of such a thing. When we asked the person who delivered the paper on where it is, he informed us that he gave it to the city council, and that they were lying about it not being there. The person we gave it to is named Aaron Kesh. He usually can be found in the market district. He works as a deliverer of parcels."

"Mr. Marfungs is wholly capable to send... disreputable types to do his dirty work I'm afraid." Latenat mentions blandly, keeping his interjections down to a minimum until the tale is told. The half-sil looks utterly at home as he slouches against a wall, swirling the drink in his hand around idily,"Kopins, now where have I heard that name before." the scoundrel says thoughtfully, shrugging after a moment"I don't usually get involved in such things. But he threatened me in public and annoyed me into the bargain."

GAME: Schneider rolls knowledge/the planes: (18)+1: 19
<OOC> Schneider says, "He is not an efreet."
GAME: Latenat rolls Knowledge/Local+6: (6)+14+6: 26

Kira nods as she listens. "We can speak to the courier and he can share who he gave it to. We can follow the trail to the documents you need..." Her smile widens more at the young woman. "Don't worry, we'll find them. Will you be safe here?"

"Aaron Kesh," Duncan murmurs, committing the name to memory. "That sounds like a good place to start. A friend of a friend, you say? We'll keep it in mind."

Schneider looks a little bored at the talk of investigation and who has what document. "I can set him on fire, if you like," he offers helpfully. Well, his tone is helpful anyhow. "People are often helpful at such times." He finishes his drink and sets the glass down wherever, glancing around in case there are snacks.

Kiroth shakes his head a little bit, "He's not a jumped up nobleman. I have never seen evil like that inside of a person before. He could be some demon or devil is disguise or he is just really really evil. Don't worry we shall find out what happened." He looks to Schneider, "He might be immune to fire."

Kira turns and looks over with a frown. "There's no reason to set anyone on fi-" she stops mid sentence and blinks at Kiroth. Now her frown is growing quickly. "Are you sure of this? That's... terrible."

Yngvild cracks her neck from side to side as she listens to the others "I am better at healing and hammering" she admits a touch ruefully "Paperwork? meh. Still for what it is worth you have my aid, especialy with what the Sunblade said"

Schneider looks very sad at Kiroth's news. "That is unfortunate. Luckily, I can use .... /more/ fire." That seems to him like the perfect solution for when fire doesn't work. Though there's a greatsword at his hip in a well-used scabbard with more than a couple bloodstains on it. "So, shall we be off, then? If he's no nobleman, then he'll have no one to complain to when we take him by storm." By firestorm, of course.

As the group bid their farewell to Sarah and Benjamin, Latenat leads the group to where they can find Aaron Kesh. As they find the man, Aaron spots the group as well. For some strange reason, he suddenly begins to make a run for it.

GAME: Yngvild casts Hold Person. Caster Level: 8 DC: 16
GAME: Schneider casts False Life. Caster Level: 7 DC: 15

Yngvild spies the person described to her running for it. Rather suspiciously. She raises her hand and booms out "IN THE NAME OF ANGORON STOP!" her voice booms and echoes through the streets as the person running headlong comes to a screeching halt.

Duncan's eyes fly open. "Wait!" he shouts. He breaks into a run after the man. "We'd like a WORD with you!!"

Kira follows Latenat's lead in weaving through the many wares and stalls of the district. When Aaron is spotted, she waves, but he only seems to want to hurry the other way. Maybe he has an urgent delivery? "AARon, please wait!" She starts to rush after him. Without heavy things like armor or weapons, she moves pretty quickly.

Aaron Kesh is a tall, lanky person with freckles and his face. He is also suffering from acne infection. He has a two big front teeth, and beady eyes, giving him a ratty appearance. A tall ratty person.

Aaron is immobilized in place, and looks scared. And he just soiled himself, so he smells as well. "Please! Please! Don't kill me! I swear, I did not know." He whimpers.

Schneider watches as his allies seem to catch the man without much effort. Well, this looks like it'll be a quick job. And it's always interesting working with actord, of course.

Kiroth breaks into a run as well and he clanks along after the others. He sighs deeply, "We are not trying to hurt you, we just want some answers."

"Why does everyone think we are going to kill them?" Kira asks rhetorically with a small amount of exasperation but also no small amount of concern. She's worried there's perfectly legitimate answer. With Aaron halted, it's even easier for her to catch up to him. "It's alright. We only wanted to talk to you about the documents for the Koplin home. Who did you give them to?"

Perhaps it is the group of people following him, or the merchant is already throwing his weight around but Latenat is about to set up a good old fashioned foot race when cries of dismay break out and a cast is flung. The half-sil winces visibly, giving a brief look at the sky as he gives the pantheon a silent plea,"Listen good-man, I'm not terribly worried about what you didn't know. But rather interested in what you /do." a forced grin appears on his face as he shrugs,"After that we'll let you on your way so you can tend to your uhh...." his nose wrinkles this time as the scent of panic reaches his nose,"Package."
"I can't think why...' Rumbles the heavily armed and armoured Aesir down to Kira. She is rather slower than the less encumbered folk, but she holds him in place with the aid of her deity. She takes up position behind him, blocking off any escape as she folds her arms across her chest and glowers menacingly.

Duncan slows to a stop next to Kira, just behind her and out of her sight. At her words he looks surprised for a moment, then resigned. Guess that's how they're playing this one. He doesn't say anything, but also tries to keep his expression neutral.

Part of the deal would be in having his way with Sarah when everything has fallen according to their plans)

Schneider frowns at the fellow, and says, "This man's a liar, and a bad one. I say we set him on fire and have done with it." Of course this is Schneider's /normal/ response in any event, and there are already motes of fire flickering in the breeze that draws back his hair melodramatically.

Duncan squints as he tries to follow the story along. But as the man goes on Duncan's expression darkens until he's glowering. "You honorless worm," he growls. "Who did you give the papers to? Was it a fat man, almost like..." he describes Gilbert briefly (and rudely). As he speaks he pulls out his flail again, and this time the heads start to glow, one with an angry red and the other with a sickly green.

Yngvild's knuckles crack and metal creaks as the Aesir clenches her rather large fists "I suggest trying again. And -not- lying this time" she rumbles, her icy eyes looking down to the nervous man "Or you might make me angry. You wouldn't like it when I get angry"

Kira wants to believe him, she really does... but she is optimistic and hopeful, not inattentive. She catches some inconsistencies and body language. Well, eye movement, since he can't move much else. "Please, who did you ACTUALLY give it to... and no one is setting anyone on fire!" That's for Schneider, with a frown. She turns her frown at the rest. "Or otherwise harm him."

<OOC> Schneider says, "Can I roll intimidate to maybe get him more cooperative?"
Kiroth looks to his companions and then to the man, "Aaron. We all know that you are lying to us. Why don't you tell us the truth? We know that you care about Sarah and I'm sure she'll be grateful to know that you played apart in helping her get her home back for her and her brother." He moves closer to her, "Although if you try to take advantage of her I'll know and I will be disappointed."
Watching the flurry of questions beset the panicked human Latenat takes the back seat, all the better to watch you with my dear... and getting the sense of his story not quite adding up,"Kid wants to help, let him help. Not as if he is putting up much of a resistance."

"Please don't kill me. I don't know the man. I have never seen him in my lift. He does look like Gilbert Marfungs, but no, he is not. He is shorter, haunched back with a rat-face (not literally, no). All I know is that when she is 'ready', I am to go to this place to get my prize." Aaron gives out the address to where he is suppose to meet with the fallen-from-grace Sarah.

Yngvild's nostrils wrinkle in disgust, both at the smell and the man himself. The towering Aesir somewhat reluctantly leans closer her ice cold eyes resting on him "If you are in any way lying to us again I will rip your arms off and beat you death with them. Then I will get nasty" she rumbles ominously.

Duncan peers at Aaron, then finally shrugs. "It's the best lead we have," he remarks. The only lead they have, but the Khazad leaves that part out. "Shall we pay a visit to this shop?"

Kira frowns at Yngvild. "He gave us the information we need. He'll face justice for his crime. You don't need to threaten him. We need to find the document." That is their overall concern and goal. She nods to Duncan. "We should hurry."

Schneider isn't sure what to make of all this, exactly, though it'd help, in his opinion, if there were more fire involved. "Is this before or after I set him on fire?" he asks Yngvild conversationally. Of course near him the scent of candles is muted. The air around him swirls lightly and causes his hair to billow back dramatically.

Kiroth crosses his arms as he looks at Aaron and then he looks at the others, "Well shall we go to this location then." He looks at the man again, "And don't tip off the others that we will be there."

Yngvild looks down at Kira, her nostrils flaring in a snort "You have much to learn about dealing with cowardly weak scum lass" is all she says before hoisting her hammer back over her shoulder and deliberately turning her back on the man as a show of contempt "And lets not set things on fire just yet" she says to Schneider with a faint smile softening her face.

"Intimidation would be of use if he was putting up a resistance to answering our questions." Latenat voices philosophically as he raises his hands in a placatory gesture, the half-sil having taken a back seat to the 'negotiations' with the overly loquacious runner,"As you can see, this is not the problem. But." the scoundrel turns his attention to Aaron,"It is good that you haven't collected payment yet, for I hardly think it would be in coin that you would appreciate."

A shrug is proffered and Latenat retreats further out of range of the fecal miasma,"Needless to say, he has done the lass an exceedingly poor turn. Our silence upon the matter shall be the insurance we need, now let us withdraw before the watch sees us accosting this individual."

Schneider looks disappointed as Yngvild puts his fire out. "I'll be ready, should the need arise," he tells her. As far as accosting the fellow, he says, "If the watch stops us, it will be to hand out medals for capturing this fellow. He's stolen the girl's home and sold it off for his own profit. There's definitely a crime in there. They'll probably string him up and leave him there for a month." He asides to the fellow, "Going all manky and runny after the first week, and all the women will cry."

Duncan peers at Latenat, trying to piece together what he said. At last he huffs. "Then we are in agreement?" he says. "Good," he adds without waiting for anyone to actually agree. " Lets get this over with, then." He turns and looks about. "Ah, which way is it...?"

Schneider turns on the fellow who's already confessed, and demands, "All right, where is this place?"

Kiroth is ushered to the location by a very enthusiastic girl. Schneider manages to intimidate another person to pointing him in the right direction. All in all, both methods work.

Kiroth thanks the girl for her help and warns her to get out of the area. He looks to the others, "This is the place were the meeting takes place." He looks around, "Should we try to take cover and see who shows up?"

You paged Latenat with 'It's a normal shop. Likely a front for something more sinister. You know that the shop is well liked by the locals and the owner is good-natured.'

GAME: Kira rolls diplomacy: (1)+16: 17 (EPIC FAIL)

Duncan scratches at his beard. "Seems to me we 're not necessarily interested in the who -- more the what. If they have papers and such, where would they keep them?"

The scented candle shop appears to be a normal looking shop. Well, as normal as any other shop within the vicinity. There are people going in and out of the shop. People of varying degrees, either light and bubbly to some shady individuals. Still, an average type of people that you would expect who would enter a scented candle shop.

Schneider says to the others, "We can probably pose as customers. They can't kick us out for shopping. Or if they do, we'll just nab them. Then just wait for the contact?"

Kira asked for the wrong shop, and has to catch up with the others. "Yes," she nods to Schneider, smiling at his idea. We can shop and wait." She inhales. "The candles smell wonderful, don't they?" Going in and looking at them won't be difficult.

Kiroth hmms as he looks over the candles shop. "So do we know what the person looks like that Aaron was going to meet?"

Duncan gives Kiroth a blank look.

"He didn't say..." Kira purses her lips at that, then steps inside to look around.

Schneider goes inside as well, ducking his head as he enters. He looks around thoughtfully at all the .... stuff. Well, this place could use a good tornado. He doesn't voice that opinion just yet. But it will probably come out.

Kiroth follows along after the others and he hmms as he starts to look around the candle store.

Yngvild 's nose wrinkles at the mixed scents of the shop. Still rather more pleasant than the courier. She steps in as quietly as she may. Which is actually fairly noisy. Her eyes scan the shop carefully but the large woman keeps quiet for the moment.

Duncan starts to go in with the rest of the party, then stops outside of the door and in a rare bit of subterfuge decides to wait a bit so that it doesn't turn into a line of adventurers filing in. Instead Duncan turns to survey the street and the surrounding shops. Only after he's counted to thirty in his head does he also enter.

As the group make their way inside (except for Duncan who is staying at the out at the front entrance and Latenat who has gone somewhere to the back of the shop) the scented candles shop, they find a middle-aged woman arranging stuff inside. At first, when she heard the bell ring, she was enthusiastic. Probably happy at the thought she has customers. But when she sees who it is that has entered her shop, her expression change slightly to caution. She tries to cover it up with a smile, but the caution in her eyes is still there.

<OOC> Benthus says, "Perception checks when you are finished posing a cursory look around the shop."
GAME: Kiroth rolls perception: (3)+2: 5

Kira turns her smile to the woman. "Hello. Your shop smells wonderful. Do you have any favorite scents or recommendations?"

GAME: Kira rolls perception: (17)+13: 30
GAME: Yngvild rolls perception: (11)+9: 20

As the larger part of the small party enters the shop, Latenat smiles plainly and stays outside with Duncan, quickly disappearing down a tight passage between the shop and the next building over after a moments wait.

GAME: Schneider rolls perception: (5)+6: 11

Kiroth moves up towards the shop keeper as well and he smiles, "Yes your shop is wonderful." He says as he picks up a candle and he sniffs it.

Schneider just kind of wanders aimlessly around the shop. The ... the fires here are captive and yearn to be free. Soon, soon.

The woman nods nervously and ushers Kira to a stall which is marked 'recommended'. She starts describing her products to her, trying to sell her merchandise without being too obvious. The process alleviates some of her cautiousness and she begins to relax a little.

You paged (Kira, Yngvild) with 'Floor appears hallow below a carpeted segment where you passed through.'

Yngvild pauses a moment, her large form on one of the carpeted sections of the store. Her shaggy brows furrow and she lifts a booted foot and brings it down fairly hard. As it makes contact a hollow wooden sound echoes around the room, and she turns her ice blue eyes to the storekeeper "What do you keep down here?" she rumbles softly. Well for her, it is about normal conversation volume for most.

"Oh my. I do like some of these..." Kira takes the time to wave the aromas from individual candles to her nose. After Yngvild asks the question of the moment, Kira leaves the shopkeep alone to answer her other customer's question.

The shopkeeper is once again nervous. More so now than before. She looks left and right before looking at Yngvild. "Ahmmm... S-storage room for more candles." She says quickly, fidgeting slightly under Yngvild's gaze.

GAME: Kiroth rolls sense motive: (9)+14: 23
You paged Kiroth with 'She is lying. She doesn't even know what is under the floor.'

Schneider idly browses while keeping an eye towards the door. If our mark comes in, Schneider will close the door behind him and block the way out.

From afar, Kira tends to doubt it, but... is she evil?
You paged Kira with 'She does not register as evil.'

GAME: Kira rolls sense motive: (18)+8: 26
You paged Kira with 'She was lying. She doesn't even know what is under the floor.'

Yngvild keeps that cold gaze on the shopkeeper, the usually fairly affable cleric looking rather annoyed today "What is it with people lying to me today?" she rumbles as she looks around to the rest of the party then back to the storekeeper. Her gaze rests on the woman in silence for a few moments "We are trying to stop an innocent young woman from getting repeatedly raped by cowardly, weak, thugs. Open this or I will" she adds with a hand reaching back to rest on the thick oaken haft of her earthbreaker.

"Please," Kira asks the woman after looking at her intently a moment. "If someone is bullying you to help them, we can help, but you must be honest with us."

The shopkeeper covers her mouth in shock and shakes her head, her eyes becoming teary, "By the gods, I did not know! Please, don't have the city guards arrest me. I have a young daughter to support. I owed money from a man known only as Mattias. In exchange for cooperation, he would not be asking me for what I owed him. I thought it was a good deal so I took it. I never realized what I signed into until I saw those poor young women lead into the passageway. They looked terrified. Please believe me. I did not want to be part of this, but I had no choice."

GAME: Kiroth rolls sense motive: (2)+14: 16
You paged Kiroth with 'She appears to be telling the truth.'

Kiroth sighs softly, "Please don't lie to us. You don't really know what's under there do you?" He asks, "We are trying to stop these men." He listens to her and nods, "We are here to help you."

The door swings open...

But it's only Duncan. The Khazad puts on a completely obvious show of looking around at the candles before he realizes the shopkeeper is being 'questioned'. So he drops the charade and just watches.

Kira blinks. "A passageway? Is that is what's under the rug? There were others?!" Ok, now she's more than willing to move the rug to see what's underneath.

"If you were not strong enough there are those who are" Yngvild rumbles, softening just a little but still hard. As the shopkeeper mentions terrified young women anger sparks in her eyes, reflected in her voice "Especially when you saw terrified young girls. Are they still down there?" the thunders in a dangerous voice.

The shopkeeper shakes her head slowly and sadly, "I don't think you can. Those who have... control of me... They are far more powerful than you think they are." She shifts her attention to Yngvild, "There have been many, and it happens a couple of times a week. A young, pretty woman would be escorted here by some thugs." She breaks down into tears and says, "Please, I don't want my family to get hurt. I ask that you say nothing to anyone about this. Please."

Removing the carpet reveals a large, and obviously locked, trapped door.

Schneider glances casually at the trapped trapdoor, and winces. He takes a step so he's in the doorway, and waits to catch Latenat's glance, nodding for him to join us in the shop, then returning inside.

"We will stop them, they will be brought to justice, and you and your family will be protected," Kira assures the woman. She looks to the locked door, then back to the woman. "Do you have a key? Do you usually open this?"

The woman shakes her head, "The escorts to the young woman are the ones who have the keys to the lock."

Kiroth looks to the shopkeeper, "Is it just one man that brings them in or all sorts of men. Did this man ever bring them in?" He asks as he describes Aaron to the shopkeeper.

A broad smile crosses Yngvild's face, doing a little to soften her roughly-hewn features "Reckon I have a key right here" she rumbles as she pulls her huge hammer over her shoulder, but peering closer at the door-hatch she pauses, enthusiasm dimming a little "Also there was one describe as looking like a rat" she adds, idly turning the hammer over in her hands.

Kira listens to the answer to her own, and the others' questions, now. They're all good questions, and the shopkeep seems to honestly want to help. She was just caught in a bad situation.

The shopkeeper shakes her head again, "I can't recognize the faces of the people who escort the woman. They always seem to be different from the other. One would think that I would recognize at least one of them as having come around a second time. But no. I do not recognize one of the escorts coming to the shop again." To Yngvild, she shakes her head, not recalling one looking like a rat. "They all looked... average. I can't even recall their faces at all." She seems to have come to this realization just now, and is startled by that thought. "I swear! I am telling the truth. I don't recall their faces at all!"

Seemingly oddly attuned to the alleyways of Alexandria, Latenat years a sound and moves toward the passway only to see Schneider looking down the tight thoroughfare. When the larger giantborne moves away without a word the scoundrel shrugs and wriggles back out into the street and in through the storefront entrance. It is clear he has been summoned!

"Hmmmmm?" the dawn's child inquires eloquently upon witnessing the odd situation with a large portion of the folk within looking at a trapdoor,"

"I believe you. They could have used magic to obscure your memory?" Kira isn't sure, but it's certainly in the realm of magic. "If there are others down there, we must help them!" That's for the others. She then looks to Yngvild. "Can you open it?"

A cursory look at the look reveals that is is a very, very well crafted lock. It would appear that someone is more likely to break down the trapdoor first before breaking the lock.

"I can destroy it" Yngvild rumbles in reply as she considers the other folks around her "Not quite the same thing," She smiles faintly as she adds this bit "Anyone good with locks?"

Glancing left and right -just to be sure- Latenat reaches into his vest, having to undo a few buttons to reveal a leather satchel which when withdrawn proves to be a not quite so legal set of thieves tools,"Not my forte to be honest, but I can try." the half-sil says rhetorically as he sets to work apon the trapped entrance

Schneider hrmphs about good with locks. "I can burn doors down," he replies with a smirk. "I can also command the spirits to open a door if it's not locked."

GAME: Latenat rolls Disable Device+4: (14)+10+4: 28

You paged Latenat with 'You have managed to disarm a poison needle trap that is hidden inside the intricate lock. But the lock is still... locked.'

Kiroth moves to let the others do their work and he keep an eye on the door looking for the rat faced man they are supposed to meet."
You paged Latenat with 'You broke your tool trying to open the lock.'
You paged Latenat with 'Well... Almost broke your tool. You fail to open it on your first attempt.'

Setting to work without much ado Latenat takes care in disarming the ironically trapped trapdoor,"The trap is disarmed, but I'm having a bit of trouble with the lock." the scoundrel admits, taking the time to wipe his forehead with the back of one sleeve in relief, in the past he hasn't had so much luck with the break and enter oriented aspect of his career,"Feel free to have at it, mind."

"Thank you for that," Kira is grateful. She's also sure that they'll find a way in. Like Yngvild having at it.

The shopkeeper waves her arms, "Please don't break the trap door, or they would know someone has tampered with it."

<OOC> Yngvild says, "Can Lat have another go? I have an idea >.>"
<OOC> Benthus will let Latenat have another go before altering the story a little.

"Aye if I smash it in it will be a bit obvious" Yngvild rumbles. She slings her hammer over her shoulder again and then reaches down to grasp Latenat's shoulder "Iron Mountain, we are working in your service, grant this man some of your fortune" she rumbles in a soft prayer.

<OOC> Yngvild says, "Luck domain, give him a second roll :P"
<OOC> Benthus nods, "Make the second attempt now, Latenat."
GAME: Latenat rolls Disable Device+4: (15)+10+4: 29
<OOC> Kira woos! "That's definitely much better!"
<OOC> Benthus says, "But not enough."

You paged Kiroth with 'As you are observing those outside the shop, you spot two shadowy figures with non-descript faces escorting somebody covered in a thick and long black cloak.'

Kiroth looks towards the others, "Hey...there are two thugs coming with a woman. We can hide or look inconspicuous as possible."

Kira blinks. "Quick, we need to cover the door!" she whispers before moving back to look at the recommended table again.

Yngvild looks down over herself at mention of the word inconspicuous, then over to Schneider and smiles faintly "I will go with hide" she rumbles and looks for a place to do so. At least until the thugs are inside.

Schneider goes back to 'browsing' the contents of the shop near the door.

No sooner has the trap door been covered again when the door opens. One of the escorts steps inside and looks around, seeing the other people inside. He moves towards the Shop owner and says. "Shop is closed. Tell your customers to go out. Now."

The other thug is looking at the PC's critically, a frown on his average-and-forgetable face. The other person covered in thick long black cloak stands quietly and still.

<OOC> Yngvild says, "How far in are they? Can one of us block the front way out"
<OOC> Kiroth says, "Yes I'd like to block the door way"
<OOC> Benthus says, "Only one of the thugs is inside the shop. The cloaked figure and the other non-discrept thug are just outside the door. The thug outside appears suspicious of your group."
<OOC> Schneider was trying to place himself so he could block the door.
<OOC> Yngvild says, "Rgr"
<OOC> Kiroth says, "Will move out of the shop then and try to get behind the other thug."

Flipping the 'evidence' out of sight in a flash Latenat turns to browsing without pause... luckily his secret ability is looking like he belongs in any urban environment. In response to the 'request' however he looks up and raises an eyebrow, a passive inquiry like one confused.

Kira looks up from the candlers at the sudden demand. "Oh, I'm sorry," she apologizes to the shopkeeper, then looks to the man. "I didn't realize it was closing. Is everything alright?"

"Closed!" Duncan repeats incredulously. He looks between the thug and the shopkeep, as if to see how she's going to stand for this.

Schneider has decided, like the flicker of flame, that right now is when he goes boom. But like a fire, there's a little trace of smoke first. In Schneider's case, it's an entreaty to certain spirits to guide his hand unerringly to his target.

Kiroth shrugs a little bit as he puts down the candle he was looking at and he heads towards the door. He leaves and heads outside and move behind the other cloaked figure.

The other thug finally speaks, "Jeremy, we should leave." He cocks his head to his side, urging his companion to get out of the shop quickly. Apparently, it was a coded gesture because the other thug suddenly begins moving his fingers, "Die!" He points at several people including the shop owner... (Spellcraft DC14: Lightning bolt)

The thug outside raises his hand at Kiroth and does the same thing. (Spellcraft DC14: Lightning bolt)

Jeremy has his hands extended and an electrical surge is beginning to focus on the palm on his hands. He has his hands pointed at the shop keeper as well as Schneider and Kira. Latenat's earlier attempts at sapping the fellow might have failed, but the second time around did. It was enough to break the person's concentration and caise the spell to fizzle. The person shouts expletives at Latenat.

Ahh, the good old fire fight in a candle shop. Latenat is on a hair trigger and when the code word is spoken and the thugs start their casting the rogue whips out a sap and leaps forward! His first strike goes awry, being a touch hasty, but when the spellcasting begins he takes the opportunity and nips that in the bud, striking the thug's forearm with a swift but solid blow .

Schneider reconsiders his actions in light of seeing both of these fellows going through the motions he recognizes as calling lighting. Too slow to avoid the first one, he lucks out as the fellow is interrupted. Himself, he shifts into a defensive stance facing the other and calls out, "Spirits of Lightning, -I- demand your service! You are forbidden to serve him!" There is a faint crackle or spark, perhaps, and Schneider smiles as he draws his greatsword, flames licking up and down the blade, incidentally lighting a few of the candles.

Duncan puts a hand on the flail tucked through his belt, eyes shooting daggers on the first Thug, the one inside...but then the Khazad's eyes shift slyly towards the window. He leaps at it, and then through, landing in a shower of glass next to the Thug outside. "Closed? CLOSED?!" Without missing a beat he yanks his flail out and swings a quick blow, sending both flail heads, one tinged red and the other green, smacking into the enemy. "Close THIS!"

She twists, forcing him around, then immediately steps in to pivot his weight slightly off his feet using her hip as a fulcrum under his. She reaches up with her other hand to grabs his other forearm, pull it behind her, and holds it there to lock him in the awkward position. "You will NOT be harming anyone with your magic."

Thug 1 breaks away from being flanked by both Duncan and Kiroth, followed closely by the cloaked figure. He turns around and draws a pellet from his pouch. Encanting some strange words, he hurls the pellet at Duncan and Kiroth.

The pellet burst into a fireball, spreading outwards, fire rolling like waves, concussing those near enough and burning those that are inside its range.

Duncan manages to duck and roll, taking lesser damage. But Kiroth is hit full force.

Yngvild moves forward through the shop as it looks like Kira has the inside caster well in hand. She lifts a hand up to the heavens and bellows "ANGORON WITNESS." Her powerful voice echoes around the streets as she holds out one hand. A bright light gathers in her palm which she extends to the caster outside and a searing beam emerges, burning into him and sending him reeling backwards, gravely wounded.

Jeremy laughs at Kira and then grins, "Fools! You all will die this day!" And with that, he rolls his eyes to the back of his head and starts to convulse. All of a sudden, his body becomes hot. Extremely hot! The flesh begins to blister and char. Certain parts of his body erupt with fire, until his entire body is covered in fire. The fire spreads, engulfing the entire body and more. It spreads until it has covered an area of fifteen feet radius.

Jeremy is no more, burned to ashes. What has replaced him is a huge humanoid figure covered in fire. And it is not happy at being brought out of its home plane.

<OOC> Benthus says, "Hmmm... It also has a reach of 15 feet. Meaning it can hit everyone inside the shop."
<OOC> Benthus says, "Still going to get the shop owner out of the shop, Kira?"

To say Kira is a little surprised when the man she grabbed bursts into flames, steps away, and grows... would be an understatement. He's on fire, then the entire room seems to be on fire, and lightning is zapping around. Kira isn't immune to fire, nor does she have any means handy to deal with flaming, teleporting, magical self-incinerating people. She's also pretty sure that the shopkeep isn't any of those things, either. Kira jumps over the counter to reach for her. "I'm sorry about your shop, but I need to get you out, now!" She may not wait for an answer before trying to get the woman out by the easiest or least dangerous option available.

Huge Fire elemental spots Kira moving within his area of attack and slams his two fiery fist on where she is located...

Well that was entirely unexpected. Yngvild blinks as the man turns into a huge fire elemental. She doesn't take long to react at least stepping foward a little she raiseses her hammer but more in a defensive manner than usual "AGORON WITNESS" she begins, but something goes wrong and the usual glow in her eyes burns out quickly, leaving her looking rather non-plussed.

GAME: Kiroth rolls 1d20+14+1+2+2-4: (2)+14+1+2+2+-4: 17
GAME: Kiroth rolls 1d20+14+1+2+2-4-5: (5)+14+1+2+2+-4+-5: 15

Kiroth takes a hit from the element and he swings his sword at the elemental, but even with it's large side it's hard to strike at it with the intense heat blinding him. He gives a grunt of frustration at missing twice.

GAME: Benthus advances the initiative order.
Round Five - Init 14.
It is now Kira's turn! Yngvild is next!
<OOC> Benthus says, "Kira, action please."
<OOC> Kira will try grabbing and yoinking the thing out of her or at least keeping it from hurting people.
GAME: Kira rolls cmb+7: (3)+11+7: 21
GAME: Kira rolls cmb+7: (8)+11+7: 26
<OOC> Kira says, "Yeah, not with those."

Kira barely got her plan of action voiced out to the others when she lost her grip on the elemental. Burnt skin aside, she tries again, but grabbing flaming parts continues to be difficult... and painful. "Stop this! Why are you doing this?!" YEs, she's asking the elemental. It isn't the first fiery elemental she's met. Not that she's met many, but the last ones seemed rather reasonable.

The huge fire elemental looks at Kira as she raised a question for it. It appears to ponder for a moment and then, the sound of crackling branches and roaring wind gives rise to a sound. A melody even. And then a voice. "I... don't want... to set the world... on fire... I just... want to start... a flame... in your heart."

Literally...

GAME: Benthus advances the initiative order.
Round Five - Init 10.
It is now Yngvild's turn! Latenat is next!
<OOC> Benthus says, "Yngvild, action please."
<OOC> Yngvild says, "Everyone is in green, so full attack"
GAME: Yngvild rolls 1d20+10: (17)+10: 27
GAME: Yngvild rolls 1d20+10: (1)+10: 11 (EPIC FAIL)
GAME: Yngvild rolls 2d6+5: (8)+5: 13

Another quick scan of those around Yngvild shows no-one grievously wounded so the Aesir Warrior grins wolfishly and raises her huge hammer up "IRON MOUNTAIN GUIDE MY BLOWS" she demands of the heavens as her first strike slams into the creature. She brings it around again but having to avoid her allies around her and rather uncertain footing almost takes Latenat's head off as she misses completely.

GAME: NEW ROUND!
Benthus advances the initiative order.
Round Six - Init 23.
It is now Latenat's turn! Huge Fire Ele is next!
GAME: Latenat rolls 1d20+7: (18)+7: 25
GAME: Latenat rolls 1d6+2: (1)+2: 3

Latenat attacks the huge fire elemental and hits, but the damage is ignored by its tough, fiery shell.

GAME: Benthus advances the initiative order.
Round Six - Init 19.
It is now Huge Fire Ele's turn! Schneider is next!
GAME: Benthus rolls 1d5: (4): 4
GAME: Benthus rolls 1d20+15: (19)+15: 34
GAME: Benthus rolls 1d20+15: (13)+15: 28
GAME: Benthus rolls 2d6+4: (9)+4: 13
GAME: Benthus rolls 2d6+4: (4)+4: 8
GAME: You damaged Schneider for 21 points. 45 remaining.
GAME: Schneider rolls reflex: (6)+5: 11
GAME: Benthus rolls 2d6: (9): 9

Huge fire Elemental attacks Schneider once again and hits him twice with its huge fist, but the fire does nothing to the giantborn.

GAME: Benthus advances the initiative order.
Round Six - Init 19.
It is now Schneider's turn! Kiroth is next!
<OOC> Schneider says, "So, my attacks have been pretty useless. I'll walk out of it's threatened area, sucking up an AOO, and I'll lightning bolt it (ref save) from an angle that won't hit any allies."
GAME: Benthus rolls 1d20+15: (11)+15: 26
GAME: Benthus rolls 2d6+4: (4)+4: 8
<OOC> Benthus says, "reflex save, Schneider."
GAME: Schneider rolls reflex: (9)+5: 14
GAME: You damaged Schneider for 8 points. 37 remaining.
GAME: Benthus rolls 2d6: (9): 9
<OOC> Benthus says, "Still ignored."
<OOC> Benthus says, "Cast away, Schneider."
GAME: Schneider casts Lightning Bolt. Caster Level: 7 DC: 16
GAME: Schneider rolls 7d6: (27): 27
GAME: Benthus rolls 1d20+14: (17)+14: 31

Schneider grumbles as his swordplay has been less than effective. He dodges out of the creatures huge zone of control because he's poor at casting while being beaten up, and while he takes a smack getting out of range, it's all in a day's work for the sorcerer. "Zarzardo! Bakemono! Lightning, heed my call!" he shouts, and holds out one hand, palm out. Lightning shoots forth, and this time, the elemental sort of writhes, then dissipates. "Take that!" he shouts to the empty air. Then he looks around. Wasn't there another bad guy? The fact that the place is on fire doesn't seem to bother him that much. It smells nice?

Vodrick’s desc:

Vodrick Nimble-Fox Olefur apears to be a rather innocuous looking Lucht. Handsome by the standards of some, He has a wide toothy smile and deep, friendly looking eyes. His hair is long, resting just behind his shoulders and his bangs rest in small braids which seem to frame his face, yet never seem to obscure it. He also has one long braid in the back which gathers the rest of his hair neatly together and held in place by a strip of leather wraped around the length of the braid much like the handle of a sturdy sword. Even though he stands little higher then a foot stool, he seems to project himself with the bravado and swagger of a creature at least twice his size with an entusiasm to match. Despite all this, you can't help but feel that if you take your eyes off of him, even for a second, you may lose track of him in an instant if he so wished. While he wore a cloak over his diminuative frame, the hood is down. He carries a Bow lashed to his back and seems to have a small blade at his side. While he carries a pack that seems reletively used and full of assorted travelers gear, he doesn't seem to carry much more then his apparent needs require. All things considered, he seemed as your average traveler; if a bit more prepared at least.

Soon after his first real adventure on his own, He somehow acquired the tooth of an Ice drake. He Proudly wears the trophy on a string of leather around his neck, and someone even seems to have gone to the trouble of Scrimshaw etching tribal markings into the enamel that seem to depict key scenes of an epic story

"Yet without the blessings of the gods I would venture, somewhat immodestly, that neither yourself nor the less than charming witch would be here today" Rakim counters with an elegant motion of his hand "Beyond the metaphysical gods created the universe, the gifts they grant to those who follow them more directly help keep the less than pious alive. Of course..." he adds as one side of his mouth curves elegantly into a sardonic smile "...feel free to tell the next servant of the Gods you don't require healing or blessing"

Rakim’s Desc:

With smooth olive skin, a mass of long black curls, lengthy sweeping lashes, deep dark eyes and delicate bone structure Rakim is far closer to pretty than handsome. There is however an edge that belies the prettiness with a long scar across his left cheek and a certain cold and keen watchfulness in his gaze. He also has a rather sharp van dyke goatee, the edges of his moustache and beard coming to waxed sharp points. Still he has a ready smile that often spreads his rather full lips and an elegant, languid grace to his movements and mannerisms. His voice is surprisingly deep and resonant considering his slenderness. His accent speaks of The Vast but seems tinged by many nations, even with a large hint of elvish in it.

He is dressed to match the somewhat effeminate, foppish impression. From head to toe he is in the cool colours of Eluna, including a bejewelled holy symbol that sits in the middle of a silvery white lace jabot around his long slender neck. Day to day he wears a white silken shirt with a high embroidered collar and long trails of lace at the sleeves. Over the top is a blue silk waistcoat trimmed with silver pipping and buttons. His pants are a blue leather with matching buttons down the sides, boots the same with a silver chain belt around his slender waist the buckle a crescent moon. In all but the hottest of weather he wears a rather dramatically and cleverly tailored azure leather coat. Buttoned in silver with turned back cuffs decorated in the same way it darts it to his narrow waist, only to flare out down to his calves, sweeping dramatically with every movement. It also contains a multiple of cunningly sewn pockets, sheaths and places to hand various bits and pieces. Finally the entire ensemble is topped by a matching cavalier hat, a silvery plume decorating it and when shooting one brim turned up and pinned by a Crescent moon broach when aiming is required.

Location:

The common room of the Fernwood Pub dominates the inn, spacious and airy because of the high, vaulted ceiling. Ornately carved beams of dark, polished wood form a lattice overhead, supporting the arched roof two storeys above the floor. To the right of the double-door entry is a spiral staircase, winding upwards to a balcony that rings and overlooks the main area. Large windows at this level grant an excellent view of the river to the west and colorful market stalls to the north and east. An air of coziness is salvaged by keeping the pub dimly lit; parchment-shrouded mana lanterns hang at intervals from the base of the balcony, nestled amongst lush, magically propagated ivy and ferns that grow over this false demi-ceiling and the struts that support it.

The bar is sleek and simple, comprised of meticulously polished black lacquer. Tables are set under the darker niches formed by the balcony floor as well as on the balcony itself. A few are deliberately sized to accommodate halflings and gnomes, but the majority are meant for human-sized individuals. A large common table is on the main floor, set before a semi-circular stage situated against the western wall. Beside it, with pipes mounted upon the wall and running up past the balcony and almost to the ceiling, is a refurbished pipe organ made to look like the one lost when the Fernwood was destroyed during the Merkabah Siege.

(Start of the plot)

Vodrick waves a hand in a polite, yet dismissive fashion. "Eh, still seems like a lot of studying. I follow my own whims and do what I can as an explorer. I look for my own wealth, search for my own hapiness, and make life for myself wherever I can find I am useful. That said, I am not really much for books or study. And because of that, I know little about any of the Higher powers people seem to hold up on a pedestal...no pun intended." He shrugs and refills his glass. If any of em decide I am important enough to be worth a few words, I may listen if the day comes. But till now, the sky’s have been fairly quiet save the singing of the birds. ....and the occasional ice drake apparently."

Vodrick flushes a little behind his mug before setting it down "I suppose that is true, though they don't seem to have an over concern with urgency. If I didn't take it on myself to make the mother angry by waving about bits of her shatter hope of children, you might not well have had the chance to pray enough to even help her. And while it hurt to do so, I DID manage to take it down at the last..." He grumbles idly thumbing the tooth on the leather chord around his neck. "While I can't say whatever interactions the followers have with their gods isn't helpful, I still trust my own bow to silent whispers to the sky. But, again, this is merely my own experience."

"Again I flatter myself that I am rather harder to hit than one might guess at first glance" the languidly foppish Tsurani gentlemen counters in a sardonic drawl. Another pause to sip at his wine, casting a somewhat suspicious glance at the ruby red liquid "An...unusual...vintage" he drawls then glances up to Vodrick with a faintly razor edged smile "I will be sure to remember your preferences should we find ourselves in battle again"

A group of people comprising of middle-aged individuals in well-to-do apparel can be seen entering through the main doors of the pub. They are busily conversing with one another, but some of the members would glance around the pub before resuming in their chat.

A server approaches the group and welcomes them to the pub. She ushers the group towards a reserved table.

Just at the group depart from the main entrance, another figure comes into view. A tall person covered in sky-blue coat with the hood drawn up over his head. His eyes are shadowed by the hood and only the grimace of his lips shows any indication of the person's disposition. He walks into the pub and then halts when a server greets him. He simply nods and listens as the person speaks, asking him what his preference would be for the day.

The tall, coated man simply shakes his head and shifts his gaze to the bar area, before looking back at the server.

Understanding the gesture, the server bows her head and allows the man go about his business.

The sky-blue coated man heads towards the bar and unslings some of the heavy stuff that he carries on his back. He orders something from the barkeep and then settles himself on a chair. He looks around the area for a moment before refocusing his gaze to the bar.

Vodrick sputters in his drink a moment before he sets it down to wipe his face. His face grows a faint shade of crimson as he waves his arms a bit. "Whoa there, I only meant in my personal practice not all encompassing. I know little to nothing about magic either, but can understand the benefit of an enchanted bow, or similar such spells. I just meant you wouldn't catch me in any sort of service in the immediate future." He says hastily with a slight nervous chuckle.

Rakim is seated in the paranoid's corner. Back to the wall where his faintly cold dark eyes can watch those who come and go into the inn. He notes the arrival of the new people, glancing over them with faint curiosity but looking away before it becomes impolite. His sardonic smile returns, wide enough to send his long scar twitching "So you are more than happy to accept their blessings, but not enough to consider actual worship?" he surmises, both finely arched eyebrows arising.

A female server with her brown hair braided and tied up around the back of her head in bun waits patiently by the entrance way of the bar. She smiles and bows her head, greeting some of the people who pass through the entrance who venture a gaze into the bar. She tries to get some of them to come in. Most would smile at the pretty face and shake their heads. Some would downright ignore her.

The young, petite server continues to wait by the entrance of the pub when a man in black coat strides into area. She looks startled by the person's sudden appearance, but gathers her wits around her and is able to say a few words of greeting. But she could not finish. The man roughly pushes her aside, eliciting a slight cry of distress from her. The man continues to walk onwards, heading to a table which is now occupied by a group of people who arrived earlier. He opens the buttons on the front of his coat and spreads his coat open, revealing several glass vials strapped to his chest.

Some of the onlookers look nervously at the man and try to move out of his way. Those who are not fast enough are pushed aside, violently, causing distress to other patrons nearby. His actions caught the attention of the group found in the reserved table. One of the individuals there immediately tries to get out of his chair, a panicked scream coming out of her mouth. The rest note the sudden movement and all of them begin to move out of their chairs in panic.

The black coat man, draws out two glass vials and says with a sneer, "For your sins! Burn in hell!" He begins to throw the potions at the group located in the reserved section.

Vodrick thinks about that a moment, visibly tilting his head up in thought before he smiles and gives a quick nod and raises his glass up a bit in acknowledgment. "Yep! That sounds about right. Besides, with as many of them floating around up there it seems the only fair way when you think about it. Why be loyal to just one when you can just accept that they are all their in their equal form of Omnipotence? Then I am not showing any sort of favouritism for any one. Again, it isn't as if anyone in specific has ever made themselves personally known to me. So, I could only assume they don't seem to mind. It isn't as if I am condemning them or anything, I just haven’t really felt any personal, notable draw to any of em." He says before downing the rest of his drink. He notices when he glances away and out of curiosity he spins in his chair to try and see what he saw. "Whatcha lookin at any ARG!" Unfortunately, the unfamiliarity to the much larger chair, a touch to do with his drink of choice, but largely to do with his apparent knack for falling prey to the whims of gravity, His spin somehow ended him just a touch too far over the edge of the seat. He flailed a bit to try and catch himself but, ultimately, ended up on the floor with a sound, "Whooph". He groans from his new seat and reaches up for the table edge to help pull himself to his feet....which managed to tip his now empty cup off the table and squarely onto the top of his head "Ugh....I'm fine, happens all the, *Clonk* "ow... time."

Rakim moves rather faster than his usual languorous would indicate himself capable of. In one motion he kicks the table over for cover as his chair comes down on all four legs. He ducks behind the table and pulls out his rather fancy crossbow from under his coat "Speaking of religion" he drawls as pressing a recessed button the arms and lever of his crossbow spring out from the filigreed stock and he ratchets a bolt back before peeking over the top.

Vodrick Squeaks in sudden surprise as the table lands just beside him and quickly slides a few feet away from it at the motion. He looks up to the commotion in the bar and back at Rakim as he sets up. His eyes fall on his bottle which had been on the table before, now smashed on the floor. It's contents slowly spreading in a puddle. He slumped and raised an arm at the bottle in disbelief. "Ah...Ahhh! I spent 3 silver on that rum!" He says before quickly crawling back behind the table with his companion. He frowns for a moment at the man and reaches for the bow on his back. "Someone owes me a drink after this..."

The two glass vials fly into the air, one after the other before landing and cracking against the surface of the hard table. No reaction occurred on the first shattered vial. But whatever was inside the second vial catalyzed with the content of the first and produced a devastation explosion. Fire and flame, along with splintered table fly all around the point of impact. Those near the table didn't have much chance at all to escape. The explosion ripped through them, the debris perforating their skins and vital organs. Blood flecks and pieces of flesh can be seen flying out from the victims in that explosive moment.

The man in the black coat covers himself against the shock wave of the explosion, but doesn't move away. He drops his arms down to look at his handiwork. Most of the victims of his attack are dead if not dying. A smile comes over his face.

At this point, screams and yells can be heard all around the pub. People begin running for the exits, some even trying to jump out of the window.

"Daeus, grant me healing." A voice can be heard nearby as the man in blue coat moves towards the area where all the victims are sprawled down. A burst of light erupts from the man, and the dying gasps from those who were hit by the explosion turns into heavy breathing. They are still injured, but at least they are not dead. But not all of them were saved. Some continue to lie immobile on the ground.

The black coated man sneers at the blue coated man and begins to run for the exit, grabbing and tossing anyone he can get a hold of into impeding the other person from following him.

The sky-blue coated man looks at Rakim, his eyes narrows as he assess the other person in that split second moment. "Go!" He points at the black-coated man.

"STOP!" Rakim says commandingly as he rises up to his full height behind the table. The languid fop is gone as he assumes all the authority of his office as an Inquisitor. His eyes glow with a silvery light as he motions towards the fleeing figure "KNEEL AND BEG FORGIVENESS FOR YOUR OWN SINS" he adds in the same stentorian tones, the force of his goddess behind him.

The man in black coat immediately starts to shake and quiver, but he manages to shake off the effects of Rakim's spell soon after. A glare is flashed at Rakim.

The man in black coat winces as an arrow impales into him from behind. He tries to grab the arrow but it is positioned where it is difficult for him to pull it out. He rages even more and takes out a potion and smashes it on the ground where he is standing. Smoke immediately covers him and everything else within 10 feet of him. More screaming people.

GAME: Rakim rolls perception: (6)+14: 20

Rakim 's sharp eyes track movement through the smoke, his loaded crossbow tracking along with his gaze. Spotting something at the fringe his gloved finger starts to depress the trigger but with running 'civilians' everywhere he doesn't quite fire, rather he moves as swiftly as he may towards what he thinks is the dark angry figure.

Vodrick frowns at the smoke and glances at the windows of the pub. He stands, and fires at one of the glass panes and then quickly turns and just barely clips his arrow inside the frame enough to assure both windows shattered in a shower of glass. "Let's see if that helps with the smoke a bit" he mutters before turning back towards the smoke. He readies himself to fire again should the man become visible soon.

GAME: Benthus advances the initiative order.

Round Two - Init 4.

It is now Angry Man's turn! Rakim is next!

The smoke dissipates quickly, and on the spot where the black coated man was standing earlier, there is only a few speck of blood visible. There are several people cowering nearby, all begging for mercy and to spare their lives. The exit from the tavern is now clear. But it appears that the young, petite server waiting at the door is now missing. A short female scream can be heard from outside that is immediately silenced.

GAME: NEW ROUND!

Benthus advances the initiative order.

Round Three - Init 20.

It is now Rakim's turn! Vodrick is next!

Rakim manage to get out of the pub, and as soon as he is outside, he can see the black coated man dragging away the petite, young server, one hand covering her mouth. The aggressor looks back and sees Rakim. He looks livid. "Why!?" He screams at no one in particular." (Rakim's move action completed. Waiting for standard action.)

GAME: Rakim rolls intimidate: (4)+12: 16

Rakim slows down his headlong rush as he spies the angry man and his captive. He stalks slowly closer, lifting to aim down his crossbow at the man. The heavy bolt from this angle looks particularly large as he aims it carefully, and with a murmured prayer a silvery glow appears around it "Let the innocent go and put your hands atop you head. This is your last warning..." he says, voice still hard and cold, his finger tightening on the trigger as the bow seems to creak hungrily.

GAME: Benthus advances the initiative order.

Round Three - Init 17.

It is now Vodrick's turn! Angry Man is next!

GAME: VodrickNEW rolls acrobatics: (17)+5: 22

Vodrick takes off across the room. He slides and ducks around table legs and those belonging to still frantic patrons as he makes his way to the window now free of the glass in it's frame. He hops up onto a nearby chair and, seeing out the window, takes aim at the back of the man waiting to see how he would react to his companions threat.

GAME: Rakim rolls reflex: (18)+4: 22

The girl manages to uncover her mouth and screams, "Please! Save me, please!"

The Angry man rattles her in his arms and shushes her forcefully. He grabs something within his coat and throws it at Rakim's feet. The bag burst on impact with green sticky goo stretching out everywhere. Everywhere but at Rakim. He sneers again at his foul luck.

Vodrick watches as the man begins to pull his arm back and throw something towards Rakim. In an attempt to interrupt the throw, He takes aim at the man's arm just behind his elbow and draws back his bow for the shot. As he begins to fire, however, One of the still fleeing patrons backs into him on his perch in the chair and his shot goes out the window.....and directly into some poor individual's front door. He looks up and winces as he hears a crash from across the way and begins looking for who bumped him with an angry frown on his round face. "stay back back wouldja?! Trying to save someone, thanks!"

"You have had more warnings than I usually give..." Rakim says as he dives out of the way of the sticky bag of whatever. He comes up in a semi crouched position and squeezes the trigger but the sudden movement throws off his aim and the bolt sinks deep into the wall behind the man and his hostage.

Round Four - Init 4.

It is now Angry Man's turn! Rakim is next!

Vodric returns his attention to the man and lines up another shot. He takes his time with this one and and makes sure to try and avoid hurting the woman he is holding. He fires and smiles as he sees it make it's mark. Unfortunately, it looks to him that he merely got meat and fat rather then anything vital. That aside, a wound is a wound and he will take that over a miss any day.

At this point, Angry man realizes that he has enemies behind him as well. He grabs another vial and hurls it at the window where Rakim is located. The vial breaks on impact and fire begins to spread out within a ten feet radius. "Why can't you just go away!"

Rakim flinches a little from the fire that breaks out as the angry man tosses another vial out "Let go of the hostage" he repeats, but squeezes the trigger anyway. Once more he misses, his eyes turning to the heavens as he mutters "Give me a break Silver Lady" and cranks down another bolt.

It is now Vodrick's turn! Angry Man is next!

The angry man is very angry now. So angry that he isn't thinking straight. He throws his hostage against Rakim, hoping that would slow him down. As he does so, an arrow hits him from behind (again). He really is smarting now, but he still has enough clarity of thought to pick his way through the streets and drop something on the ground.

Vodrick flinches as the fires lick just inside the window and scorch his skin he glares in anger at the man and quickly draws another 2 arrows. He fires One directly into the man's back as he tries to flee and the sound of the solid impact reaching his ears was very satisfying indeed. He quickly nocks the second arrow and just as he is about to fire, his foot slips on his perch on the chair. and he watches as his vision suddenly starts sliding upward. his arrow is released just in time to find it's way sailing into the rafters of the pub as he lands with a solid "Omph" on the floor after his sudden decent. He could do nothing but lay there a moment with a look of utter disdain on his features as he grumbles. "Back to religion....exactly which of you is laughing at me right now?" He mumbles to the sky.

Rakim automatically reaches out to catch the woman flung at him. He offers her a bright smile "Do pardon me ma'am" he says somewhat gallantly as he lets her go and aims his crossbow down again. It seems his somewhat impious prayer has worked as the crossbow twangs and the enhanced bolt sinks deep into the angry's man's back "I did warn you" he calls out as he ratchets down another bolt.

Petite, young girl holds on to Rakim as if her life depended on it, all they while crying her heart out from relief at being released and fear that she might still be killed yet.

Round Seven - Init 20.

It is now Rakim's turn! Angry Man is next!

Angry man effects his escape by running around a corner, shoving people aside who are blocking his way.

Vodrick grumbles out a number of obscenities as he quickly clambers back into his position. He huffs and takes a quick, sloppy shot at the fleeing man as he makes his escape. He sees the arrow goes a touch wide and embeds itself in the wall just inches from the man's head and he swears again. Thinking quickly, he takes in a deep breath and yells out of the window for any who might be listening. "Guards! Guards! Injured criminal running from the Pub!"

(Continuation of plot)

Recap: The angry man managed to escape by running around a corner of the street, dropping something on the ground before doing so. A hysterical and still weeping server girl is clutching tightly to Rakim, still traumatized by her abduction. A small fire has erupted near the window of the Fern Pub that is being doused off by water. The sound of people groaning out in pain can be heard from inside the pub. A man in blue coat is attending to the injured. A few city guards make their way into the area, likely responding to the call of distress in the vicinity.

"Who was attacked?"

"Some Dranei nationals, at least that is what I got from the reservation list."

"A terrorist attack? Why would anyone do that here? This is Alexandria!"

"Nowhere is safe anymore."

Having had some experience detaching himself from ladies Rakim does his best to be gentle about it "If you will forgive me my dear, I have someone to catch..." he drawls whilst trying to extricate himself and give chase to the angry man.

GAME: Rakim rolls perception: (9)+14: 23

with many a stumble, shove and pointed shout, Voddrick was finally able to make his way out of the front of the building. He hefted his cloak properly around his shoulders as it had shifted in all the chaos and began looking around for both the man he was fighting along side, and the one they were against. "Rakim? Where'd he go?"

"Caltrops" is all Rakim gives as a verbal reply, but he does nod his head in the direction the angry man ran. He slows down as he picks his way carefully through the field, then as soon as he is clear accelerates again.

GAME: Rakim rolls perception: (8)+14: 22

Vodrick nods at the warning and tries to follow rakim's lead in tracking carefully through the street he had been warned about. He tries to keep pace, but soon begins falling behind. He just didn't have the same stride as he did, but he did his best to keep him in his sights

GAME: Vodrick rolls perception: (1)+5: 6 (EPIC FAIL)

"Stop!" Rakim yells out towards the fleeing man as his rather fancy boots skid a little whilst he turns a corner at top speed. If the halfling can't spot the quarry at least Rakim in his street clothes rather stands out as he turns and accelerates as fast as he can.

"I am going to nail this guys prick to a wall" Rakim mutters rather inelegantly as his, perhaps, suprisingly keen eyes note the trap. He manages to avoid it and just in the nick of time yell a warning back "Trap under the board, don't step on it" as he runs after the madman.

Vodrick seems to be having a reletively hard time navigating the streets. It was as if no one was paying attention to anything below their knees. He first stumbled just on the other side of the caltrops, and only just barely avoided getting run over by a passing cart. The interuption had cost him some distance, and as he rounded a corner, he was not paying quite as much attention as he should have been in trying to catch up. He was quite a way away from Rakin, but no sooner had he heard the called warning from him, he glanced down in time to see the board. He flails his arms, stopping just short of the board before he had stumbled on top of it and sighed in relief. This chase was turning into quite the dangerous obstacle course. side stepping the trap, he peers ahead to try and see which way the man was heading, but more importantly, keeping Rakim within earshot at the very least.

Angry man makes his way towards an old abandoned warehouse.

As you get nearer to the warehouse, you note that is no one else around the premise, not even vagrants. There is an old dilapidated sign hanging from one of the boarded windows.

No tresspassers allowed!

For a brief moment, the sound of shattering glass can be heard from inside the building.

GAME: Rakim rolls perception: (1)+14: 15 (EPIC FAIL)

Rakim kneels a moment to trace gloved fingertips across the drops remaining, bringing it up for a very cautious sniff "Hmm..." he says then heads within a little more cautiously then his rushing through the streets, his crossbow carefully leading the way.

GAME: Vodrick rolls perception: (8)+5: 13

Vodrick runs from around the last corner and stops as he sees rakim beginning to enter the building. He pants a little out of breath from his multiple close calls and groans as he notes the building. "well, anyway in should have a way out. Maybe I can cut him off?" he mutters to himself and begins searching for an exit and listening for movement. Finding none, He changes tactics and opts for a slightly different approach in an enclosed area. He returns his bow to his back and instead draws an imposing, yet old, looking scimitar from his hip. from near the sheath of the blade, he also detaches a small buckler and begins to affix it to his wrist as he begins to carefully make his way inside.

Inside the warehouse, there are several broken bottles of unknown content littering the floor. The remaining liquid in some of the broken glasses seem to fluoresce, and some carry an acrid if not foul odor.

Following the trail leads to a section of the warehouse that is covered by a wide curtain. There appears to be movement behind the curtain. The sound of heavy breathing become more audible the closer one gets to the curtains.

Suddenly, silence. No heavy breathing. Just a deathly stillness.

A faint growl that is starting to become a loud roar can be heard from behind the curtain. And then, Angry man bursts forth with a dagger in each hand. He looks fully healed. The daggers seem to be coated with some unknown liquid.

Vodrick scuttles inside with his blade and diminuative buckler at the ready. He makes his way just behind Rakim just in time to hear the strange sounds from the curtain before it was torn away to reveal the rather pissed off looking man. He grins widely as he shows himself and raises his sword as he cbegins to close the distance. "Finally, Given up the coward act eh? Works for me!" He says as he steps in and delivers a solid strike towards the frothing man's legs.

Angry man howls in pain at the Lucht's slashing attack to his knee cap. This draws his ire on Vodrick. With his two daggers he begins to stab at the halfling...

Rakim drops down into a firing stance as the crossbow comes up to his shoulder. He aims down the fancy stock, some of the decoration actually serving a purpose as aiming points. Not a good enough one however as the heavy bolt manages to bounce of the angry man's armor. Calmly Rakim ratchets down another bolt from the magazine, although his eyes look far from calm.

Vodrick clashes blades with the now very pissed off man but fails to deflect the second dagger as it finds it's mark, skimming across his neck and drawing a line of red. He gritted his teeth against the pain and directed a focused glare into his eyes. He flicks his blade to the side and spins around in an attempt to bring the blade up in an attempt to catch him off guard as well as keep a bit of space between the two of them. His attack didn't seem to connect with anything but the side of the man's blades, but he was able to keep the larger side of the blade between him and the man for a bit of added protection

Angry man succeeds in injuring Vodrick once again. He roars bloodthirstily.

"Silver lady grant thy servant a damn break" Rakim pleads heavenwards as yet another bolt misses the man. Frustration is starting to show more visibly on his fine bone features as he ratchets down a forth bolt with a soft sigh.

Vodrick winces as yet another stab in the side gets inside his defenses. He groans as he feels his arms start to feel slightly numb and his legs a little heavier. He groans as the assorted cuts and bruises on his side start to take their toll on his maneuverability and while he was able to deflect at least one more attack, yet another gets inside a swing and wounds him again, though not before he was able to get a swing up and against his shoulder first. He readies for another attack, his eyes beginning to flutter in pain. He needed to hang on just a bit more. His aggravation was noticeable beginning to grow however as he hears the twang of yet another missed shot. "next time, I'm shooting!" he grumbles out.

Round Five - Init 15.

It is now Vodrick's turn! Angry man is next!

Vodrinck brings another swing forward, but his attack goes wide as it is deflected against one of the daggers. He Oofs loudly as the second dagger is brought around with a solid thunk into his stomach. He chokes and strains to stay on his feet as his wounds are almost too much to take. He coughs a splatter of blood onto the floor and grips his sword tightly. "you.....are pissing...me....off" he mutters weakly.

It seems the impious prayer has in fact worked this time, for as Rakim squeezes the trigger the bolt flies true and sinks into the mad man, aided by the holy blessings upon the heavy bolt sinks in. The tension across the inquisitor shoulders ease a little bit as he levers down the last bolt in this magazine and takes aim "Surrender or die" he calls out as the bolt rests on the man.

The angry man senses that the Lucht will not last long against his attack and so pushes on with his aggression. The first dagger stabs the lucht in the shoulder. As he withdraws the blade, he thrust again with the other dagger. This one misses.

You paged Vodrick with 'Yes. I'll let the dice decide if he will continue to attack you or not, but he will certainly recognize the vial in your hand.'

Vodrick is rather unsteady on his feat at this point, but is not about to make it easy on this man. He reaches back behind him into a small pouch and pulls an item from within. he makes sure it is visible in front of him and coughs another spot of blood onto the ground before him before stepping forward for another swing. It goes wide but he could only yell angrily at the man in front of him. "fine then, let's do this!"

A moment of clarity passes through the eyes of Angry man as he looks at the vial held in Vodrick's hands. He sneer and then says, "You'll die first." And with that, he stabs the lucht in the chest. The vial falls to the floor and shatters. The surrounding air catalyzes the chemicals in the vial and the area with 10 feet of the vial erupts in flames. Angry man growls in pain.

The final bolt sings out from the crossbow and sinks into the angry man. Despite this he is still up. Rakim curses softly in a harsh sounding language and puts the crossbow down on the ground, just in time to cop the charge of the angry man. Not in his usual armor the dagger manages to hit him and he curses again.

No sooner had the Lucht's defiant cry left his lips, he recieved another rapid flurry of attacks from the man. Unable to defend fully from the attacks, he gasps as the blade sinks into his chest and the blade falls from his hands. from the other hand, a vial of blue alchemist fire falls to the floor and awashes the area in blue flame. He was unconcious before he hit the ground, but the addition of the flames had his cloak smoking as he was propeled to his back onto the floor. His breathing shallow, and his eyes clossed, there was little more he could do for now but try to hold out as best as he could.

Rakim's eyes narrow as he steps back elegantly, his long leather coat flaring wide. One hand reaches down to pull out a rather less than stylish morningstar, but rather than trust it he holds a palm up. As he starts to cast the angry man somehow follows and scores another slash across the Inquisitor. Shaking his head he keeps his concentration as the silvery glow radiates from his eyes "IN THE HOLY NAME OF THE SILVER LADY I COMMAND YOU TO REPENT YOU SINS AND PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS"

Rakim 's sharp eyes take in the ominous still form of Vodrick. Healing not really part of his training he has no idea how bad the Lucht is, but he prays softly as he approaches.

Rakim's lip curls up into a snarl "Well that will teach me to be merciful" he mutters under his breath as with not much other option he hangs his morningstar under his coat and picks up his crossbow.

Vodrick inhales deeply as a strange force seems to course through him. he shivers a bit feeling a bit....strange but soon frowns as he realizes where he is. He groans as he pulls himself into a kneeling position and turns to face the man that had injured him this badly. He quickly pulls his bow from his back and readies to take aim as he sees him turn and run out of the door. He is REALLY starting to hate this asshole.

Vodrick had had ENTIRELY enough of this man and sighted up his shot as the man tried to flee. He concentrated all of his focus on his fleeing target and lets fly the first arrow. He barely flinches as he sees the arrow sink deeply into his back. Just to make sure that the job is well and truely done, he quickly draws another shaft and lets fly another shot out of the door. It too sinks into the man's back right beside its brother and he watches as the man FINALLY slumps forwards and falls to the ground. He then, slowly, lowers his bow and pulls himself to his feet. One arm is gently holding his midsection where the wounds from those painful daggers had definitely left their marks. He makes his way to the door, and spits a wad of blood in his direction with as much ire as a 3 foot tall Lucht could muster. "And....stay down.....Dick"

"A rather irritating chap..." Rakim drawls casually as he approaches the man. Rather expert hands disarm him of anything that might even be conceived as possibly being vaguely associated with being a weapon. That done he ties him securely and only then does he heal him. Once sure the man is not going to die any time soon the rather pointy toe of his fancy boot 'accidentally' sinks into angry man's groin "Fetch the guards master Vodrick" he suggests "Once they are here I might search the warehouse"

Vodrick winces as he turns to observe the inquisitor and gives a quick nod. "forgive me if I take my time....next time I decide to jump to the front lines to try and hold off someone twice my size drinking gods only know what....stop me. If he has a healing potion or 3 on him, I call dibs when I get back" he adds as he makes his way off in a slightly pained jog in search of any law enforcement.

(Start of the Plot)

"And so the end game begins." Sighs heavily an old but wise cleric of Daeus as he watches the gathering of what is left of the temple factions. "So few, yet so brave. May they all come back to us. If not, may the heavens grant them their eternal reward." He says, slightly above a whisper, more to himself than to anyone else.

A serrielite adjutant rallies all those assembled to their staging points, to which the respective faction leaders reminds those on the mission on what they are to do. Each member has rehearsed inside their heads what they are going to do. They are aware of the dangers of their mission. Some look ashened but determined to continue.

Many of their number have died in the attack that was just more than a day ago. Now, they go to apprehend the ones responsible.

The religious factions have gathered at the temple of Elune where many runes and sigils have been marked on the floors and walls to serve as focus for their teleportation. Groups converge towards their rally point and await for the signal to go.

You and your group are brought before one of these teleportation foci and told to wait as diviners and scryers literally sweat blood as they thrust their consciousness into an alien plane, making sure that your entry point will not be prevented as that would likely result in your deaths.

You have been told prior to your assembly what your task is. Apprehend the one called Matthias Fold. Bring him back dead or alive, preferably alive so that just sentencing could be brought upon his head.

It is a daunting task, but there are very few people who are powerful enough to face the monster, and those who are more powerful than you have been assigned elsewhere. You are not informed of what those other tasks are. 'The less you know the better' they say.

A prayer is made for everyone, empowering them all with the blessings of their gods, and then they wait for the signal.

A flag is raised.

Suddenly, there is a frenzy of movement as spells are being cast and energy vortices come to existence. Whole groups are swallowed and thrown into the ether. There isn't much to think, let alone to panic, as you and your group are sucked into your own teleportation vortex.

You feel like you are drowning inside a swirling maelstrom, your body twisting and spinning in a sea or dark energy. You can't breathe, and you feel like blacking out as your body is subjected to heavy G's. Just when you thought your life has flashed before your eyes, you crash land on firm ground.

You know you can't remain idle as you very know that the enemy is waiting for you. And so you push yourself up from the stone hard ground on where you landed, and prepare for the fight that you know will be coming your way.

You orient yourself to the place of where you are as quickly as your mind can allow it. And it begins to register to you that you have landed on some large dais. You register something else as well. You and your party are not alone in the room.

Standing to the relative north of where you are standing are four humanoid creatures wearing ornate battle armour. Full plate armours that have magical runes scribbled on the surface and gems that seem to give off wafts of potent energy.

The wearers of these armours have human faces, all marred by scars that have been made by whips and lashes. They appear to be sleeping, leaning slightly on their magically enhanced double blades. But it is not true. They are not sleeping. They are resting. Waiting. Waiting for you.

Their eyes open in unison as they stare unflinchingly at you and your companions. There is no fear in their eyes, but a curious gaze, as if wondering if you and your companions would even be a challenge for them. They begin to move as one, extending one of their hands out towards one of your companion.

You sense what will happen next.

He later caused caused many deaths to people living at the outskirts of the city, posing as a magician entertainer and then summoning demons to kill all the villagers in the area. He has disrupted many businesses, both legal and illegal, and many people are after his head. Recently, based on this plots continuum, he attacked the temple district. Many died that day, not directly by his hands, but by the monsters he had summoned into existence. When the dust cleared, the orphans in the Temple of Althea are missing, and presumed kidnapped. A few hours later, a scouting group has confirmed the location of the man. About 24 hours later, a full scale assault is planned on his stronghold, said to be in another dimension, linked to the material."

They have a unique aura that if you are within 5 feet of them, you will have to roll will or be affected by an affliction called 'insolence'. Basically, you stop looking at your allies as allies, so flanking and all other aids are no longer applicable. You have to succeed a will check of 19 to be immune to it for 24 hours. And if you are hit by the two ends of their double swords, you are compelled to attack your group's leader (which would likely be Cesran), for one round. A will save of 19 will resist the urge to do so. Also, they can smite good."

Kravar slides his sword from its sheath and raises his shield so that only the top half of his head is visible over the round edge. He squares off with the center-most armored figure, then begins to advance on it. "Tormenting orphans?" he calls out as he approaches. "For shame! Time to put an end to this villainy!" His voice is jovial, although his eyes behind the shield are wary and almost calculating.

Godwyn... says nothing. Not yet. These... things... are not her target. No, there is a different goal to be met, and she will meet it. They are in the way. She does however draw her great sword. It was time to end this.

Godwyn's eyes narrow, her head tilting to the right. "I've seen you all before... I've *fought* you before." She steps forward and whirls her weapon above her head. "You are nothing but in my way. So I'll remove you."

(Kravar readies an action)

Kravar leans forward, his weight coming onto the balls of his feet. He hears the familiar sounds of spell-chanting behind him, and then feels the tingling of magic seeping into him. If anything it makes him more eager to get into swords-length, but he manages to restrain himself.

Cesran eyes the demons as they are all bunched up, "Hold on for a moment." He says as he takes out a rod and then casts a spell of haste on himself and his allies.

He casts another spell at at the gates centered on the middle demon black tentacles shoot up from the ground and try to grab onto the demons, "That should drive them to us."

The elite guard at the center has a slight grin on his face when he sensed Godwyn attempting something on him. He shifts his gaze to Kravar when the person suddenly went into a readied position. His grin turns into a sneer. Suddenly, the ground around him and his men bursts and black tentacles begin to wrap around them. Or are attempting too. Powered by infernal energy and inhuman strength, the five elite guardians make little of the attempt to subdue them. When it is finally their turn, they move. The one at the center charges head first into Kravar, ignoring the intruders attempt to shield bash him. He drives one of his blades into the side of Kravar, and grins once more when blood is leaking through his opponents armour. The other four begin to move into their position, almost as if rehearsed...

Godwyn turns to her left as they surround them, and it's not long before she comes up with an idea. Instead of just focusing on one, she swings her weapon in a wide arc... and her weapon punches through the armor of one of the demons. It's unfortunate though that it doesn't seem to do much to the second enemy... and that makes her angry.

"Enough of this." She glances toward Kravar. "Get ready! We're breaking out of this circle!" With that, she takes in a breath and shouts her battle cry. "Forward Unto Destiny!"

Her weapons glow... but not just hers.

Weapons, armor... everything that everyone is wearing glows with the bright blue aura. "Let's go!"

The elite guards are slowed (except for g5) and damaged by Godwyn. Then they all get hit by a flurry of blows coming from Kravar. Only the toughest amongst them manages to shrug it off. The one at the front attacks Kravar but misses.

The two other guards positioned besides Godwyn recognizes her and declare their smite attack on her, calling upon their evil master to grant them with more demonic powers to slay her. They attack her in their slowed state, and their experience and strength as well as the will of their dark masters enable them to hurt her.

And hurt her badly.

They grin at her bloodied state, but somewhat amazed that she is still standing. The other two guards attack Cesran, both of them being able to hit him and draw blood...

She stares at the demon in front of her and staggers to her feet, her right hand on the torn rose emblem adorning the front of her tabard.

As the glow fades, she points her weapon at the demon in front of him. "You're going to regret that." And with a roar, she brings her blade to bear, ramming into its armor. Sparks and blood fly as the empowered blows strike home, the first one sending a resounding clap of thunder through the chamber.

The fourth strike scrapes against armor... but Godwyn does not care in the slightest. It won't be long now.

Kravar grimaces in pain as one of the guard's blows gets through his defense. He turns to focus on the enemy directly in front of him. Already in a fighting crouch, he leans forward even more to slam his shield into armored shins. It's enough to knock the enemy off balance, leaving him open for a few sword slashes. Every time the armored figure tries to fight back Kravar slams his shield into him once more to keep it off balance, and the rain of attacks slowly starts to wear the guardian down.

The lead elite guard and the two other elite guards that are flanking cesran recognize the aura surrounding the two and declare a 'smite good' attack on them. The lead elite guard attacks Kravar but misses in his attempt, slowed by Cesran's spell.

The other two elite guards flanking Godwyn continue their relentless and brutal assault on the Althean paladin, further increasing the amount of damage she has already sustained and bringing her closer to death's door.

The two other elite guards close to Cesran begin to engage him. The first one moves closer to him but is smacked down by a lunging shield attack by Kravar. The other one moves five feet closer and unleashes a battery of swings at the mage. Three of the nine Cesran images poof out of existence.

Everything happens all at once. She is assailed again from both sides, and falls to one knee again. The hand on her chest is the only sign she's still moving, but somehow she gets to her feet. With a shout of defiance, she raises her weapon and comes at the demon in front of her again, refusing to leave him alone!

One strike, two, and the first one slams home, taking a good chunk of flesh out of the Insubordinate. Yet her weakness shows... the next two do nothing. What armor is left on him protects him from her wrath.

But there is an evident smile on her face as well. "You're mine."

Cesran manages to finish his summoning and in a flash of bright white light there is a golden and white Triceratops. Cesran moves back and places his hand on the triceratops, "Grow big Alaster...grow big." The already huge triceratops grows to gargantuan size and Cesran points at the guardian that attacked him, "Push him back!" The celestial triceratops, see the halo above its horns stamps its feet and then rushes at the guardian. It hits the demon and pushes it back into the other demon, but moving two demons is tough as they are barely able to hold on.

The prone guard attacks the Tricratops and damages it three times.

She's stopped a lot of their attempts to kill her and her companions, but she can't stop everything.

Godwyn is too weak, too battered to avoid the attacks that come at her, and the second strike causes her to slump to the ground in one good hit. It catches her in a bad place, but just enough to where she blacks out.

She might not get to see justice done, but she can't say she didn't try... and before her vision goes dark, she sees the glow of Kravar's sword and shield.

Well, at least they still have a chance.

There is the sound of shattered gems and a demonic howl as the demons are ripped from this plane back to where they came from. Cesran gives a knowing, almost arrogant smile as he leans on his staff for a moment and he heads over towards the other two, "How bad is she?" He asks, "I have some potions if that will help."

<OOC> Godwyn says, "Oh come on."
<OOC> Godwyn says, "Okay. No pose then."
<OOC> Benthus says, "Intimidate away. You succeed."
<OOC> Cesran says, "Try some diplomacy. Kravar is the bad cop all ready"
<OOC> Godwyn says, "Hmm... Cesran's right."
GAME: Godwyn rolls Diplomacy: (7)+18: 25
<OOC> Godwyn says, "That's fair, I think."
<OOC> Benthus says, "What are you trying to reason with him, Godwyn?"
<OOC> Godwyn says, "1. Stop lying. 2. Stop crying. 3. Just tell the whole truth, please? It's been a long day for all of us. XD"
<OOC> Benthus says, "1.) He is not lying as far as you know. 2.) He stops crying, but can't stop sniffling. 3.) He has told the truth. The children are in the hands of the demons. To which another group of adventurers were tasked of rescuing. That part is uncertain, and you have no idea if all the children got saved or not. This was a compartmentalized (is there such a word?) mission."
<OOC> Godwyn says, "Yeah, pretty much."
<OOC> Benthus says, "Anyone of you would like to roll a heal check please."
GAME: Cesran rolls heal: (4)+2: 6
<OOC> Benthus says, "Alright... Cesran think that the man is normal."
<OOC> Benthus says, "He is just having a bad day."

Kravar moves forward and then rests a heavy hand on Matthias' shoulder. The other hand holds the axe uncomfortably close to the villain's neck. "There's almost no point in slaying him now." The look he gives Matthias seems to imply that Kravar would still be more than willing to do it. "Let's take him back to Alexandria," he suggests. "To face justice."

GAME: Godwyn rolls Heal: (7)+10: 17
<OOC> Godwyn says, "Okay, better..."

Matthias whimpers like a little dog when Kravar places his big menacing hands around his neck. He visibly pales as the axe is brought close to his neck and, in fact, he faints.

<OOC> Benthus says, "Godwyn, you *think* that Matthias is mentally unstable. What reason it is that has unhinged him is something you guys may have to dig into. But that is another story for another time."
<OOC> Benthus says, "Btw, there are several beautiful slave women still chained to his bed. They look spaced out, like having taken a lot of recreational drugs."

Godwyn takes in a breath and nods... just as the man faints. "Well... let's hope the other teams find them. We have what we came for. In the meantime... you're right. There's no point in killing him, because he's gone unhinged. I dare say some time in a cell may actually do him good, but perhaps I'll find out how far gone he is later. See if there's something to bring back." She ties his hands behind his back... and then looks around the room.

"Goddess, no... get them unchained!" Oh yes, he's definitely going to need some work done.

<OOC> Benthus says, "And with that, I close this plot. Thank you all for coming."

Cesran gives him a couple of shakes to see if he's faking it or if anything jingles. Like a secret key or money pouch. He looks at the women, "Let's at least help these women get out of here." He says as he looks to Kravar and Godwyn before he takes a deep breath as he briefly contemplates using his spell to throw him out a window. He finally nods, "Agreed...it's not our place to dole out justice." He grips his hand tighter so Matthias won't get away and then heads out.

(End of Plot)

Benthus: /* Our Logs */

[[Category:Logs]]
Roleplay is central to Tenebrae, and consists of a mix of scenes, grid, and PrPs. Here you may read some of the logs our players have posted, or wanted to share. This page may also be used to post logs for PrPs, to share an item for staff review, or to tell players about a great scene. Remember too, if you're RPing in a public area, a log may end up on this site. ''Roleplay Rooms are not private spaces.'' Most recent logs are at the '''bottom.'''

{{CPSUBHEAD-START}}About My Character{{CPSUBHEAD-END}}

Desc:
<pre>
This person stands at roughly six feet tall and is broadly-built. He weighs around two hundred and ten pounds. A great sword can be seen poking out of a slit-hole at his back, as well as a composite longbow and a quiver of arrows. There are several daggers strapped around his body, numbering six in total. A falchion blade is strapped on one hip. A magical glaive crisscrosses the greatsword behind his back.

An elegant blue cloak with gold trimmings covers his body. The cloak is drawn together at the front to keep the warmth in, but not fastened. If by chance a strong wind should push aside the cloak for a little while, one could see the intricately crafted breastplate of unusual material beneath. Engraved on the chest-piece is the symbol of the sun.

The hood is worn over his head, but not covering his face. The face, if one manages to get a look at it, appears part human part sildanyari.

His eyes have a soft, patient quality to them, giving him an appearance of a kind-hearted individual. When he speaks, he speaks in a soothing tone, almost hypnotic. But it is not spoken barely above a whisper, for his voice can clearly be heard by those around him. His appearance may suggest a docile person. But the armaments he is carrying clear says otherwise.

He walks about in a a calm and collected manner, tipping his head and offering silent hellos to anyone who would glance his way. There is a grace and strength to his movement that sets him apart from the normal populace. But it is his presence that seems to hold most people's attention. Exuding out of him is an intangible aura of goodness that sets people at ease (and probably unease to those that are not good).

But much of that has changed about him in the recent days, and his once humble veneer has changed to that of grim foreboding. He no longer talks to people as he has once before. He no longer looks at the people as he has before. He moves likes someone carrying a great burden in his heart, and the once smiling face is replaced by a sad and bitter grimace.

When he looks at people, there is judgment in his eyes. Mercy is no longer a quality he holds, and it is shown in how he deals with the people around him. Much has changed.

Benthus: /* Our Logs */

[[Category:Logs]]
Roleplay is central to Tenebrae, and consists of a mix of scenes, grid, and PrPs. Here you may read some of the logs our players have posted, or wanted to share. This page may also be used to post logs for PrPs, to share an item for staff review, or to tell players about a great scene. Remember too, if you're RPing in a public area, a log may end up on this site. Most recent logs are at the '''bottom.'''

== Log Info ==
*Title: Dying Paladin
*Emitter: Benthus
*Characters: Munch (Bbn4/DDs4/Sor1) Lothos (Wtc7)* Sophia (Clr9/Pal2)*
*Place: Desolation
*Time: Dec 25, 2014
*Summary: A paladin of Daeus and a fellow guild member is under the possession of a very powerful entity, after he offered himself as a vessel to save the life of a fellow Daeusite. The said paladin manages to maintain a tenuous 'hold' on the powerful entity and serves as a medium for communicating with the possessor. The being is said to be a Mystic Theurge of great power and renown, but his capture, torture and and inevitable death made its spirit vengeful. The only way for the entity to 'go on' is that if the monsters responsible for its demise be destroyed. Only then will it release the paladin, and only then will it leave this plane of existence. A clue is given to the Daeusite as to the location of where the nefarious killers are located. The paladin is being held inside the temple of Daeus to prevent the vengeful entity from wrecking havoc in the city.
*APL: 9
*Encounter 1: 1x Vrock, CR9
</div>

Whether you are asked for a favour from the Daeusite or a contract is offered to you by the guild of explorers, you have accepted the task of locating the whereabouts of the monsters said to be responsible for the demise of a Mystic theurge. You are quickly brought to the airship yard, and a fast transport ship is commissioned for your group's use. The pilot and crew immediately set 'sail' towards the location said to be a clue as to where entity's enemies might be located.

The ship is unusually fast, and it actually teleports from point to point making the trip uncomfortable but quick. Soon, the ship heads through a barren desert that many travelers know is the great desolation. The captain of the ship has every man on board on alert as the dangers on this region is real and that an attack can happen any time.

Whatever gods there may be, the ship manages to reach the location of interest without any mishap. The passengers (you) are being dropped not too far from the site, as the area is too difficult to land in safely.

The group make their passage towards the destination on foot.

It does not take too long before the group comes upon a ruin of sort. The desert sand has covered most of it, and if it were not that you and your group are actively searching for it, you might have missed it all together. An opening/hatch can be seen in one of the platforms that make the ruin. After a bit more inspection, you realize that the platform is the roof of a big building.

It appears that the only way to get inside the submerged building is through the hatch.

Lothos sighs, looking up at the sun for a moment. "Well, inside we will be out of the heat at least..." He then shakes his head a bit vigourously, "And get the sand out of my hair." He looks to the others, "So, lets see...um, ohh yes, lets look for magic and traps and all those sorts of nasty things first, shall we?"

GAME: Lothos casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 7 DC: -85

<OOC> Lothos says, "Looking for magical stuffy trap thingies! or, anything."

Munch hrms, absently tugging upon a leathery dreadlocks upon his head, mashing the chemicals inside together to start a simple reaction. A tiny bit of heat, and a lot of glowy light. "Dead guy happen to mention what it was that actually killed him? They didn't let me get too close to listen."

GAME: Munch casts Light. Caster Level: 4 DC: 11

<OOC> Munch casts light. And rolls k/nature for monsters native to this area?

GAME: Munch rolls knowledge/nature: (10)+5: 15

GAME: Lothos rolls knowledge/arcana: (19)+13: 32

GAME: Sophia rolls perception: (14)+14: 28

Sophia shakes her head, "Nothing beyond 'monsters'... which really doesn't narrow things down at all." She glances back and forth, looking a bit tense but not too much as she rests one hand on the hilt of her longsword.

You paged Munch with 'There are many monsters that live around this place, from giant scorpions to wind elementals, to demonic creatures that have slipped through the tear in the dimensional barrier. Your knowledge of the area tells you that demons may be of a greater chance of encounter than any other, considering that a known tear in the fabrics of time and space is somewhere nearby.'

Reaver the GreatAxe pipes up. "Demonic monsters, most likely. They always seem to hang out in this sort of place."

You paged (Lothos, Munch, Sophia) with 'You look around your area for anything out of the ordinary, and find some writings on the bricks and stones that are scattered all around the ruined area. There are no tracks that you can see going in or coming out of the hatch. The hatch appears to be closed, but the years of neglect has made the wooden door and hinges very brittle. It is likely a little prodding would be enough to break it.'

You paged Lothos with 'You spot several magical runes etched on the many bricks that comprise the roof of the building you are standing. They still glow with faint magical energy that only you can see. At first you don't seem to understand what the runes are for. But you begin to see a pattern. When magical runes are looked at from a high perspective, one can see a symbol, and the symbol is that of a lost god that once fought against the gods of light. The name of the god is Ekeshius, the sadist.'

Munch eyes the nearby stones a few moments. Covered either with writing or the strangest erosion patterned the metal man has seen, they don't offer much insight to the barbarian. "Figure I can take point, keep the squishy guy in the middle, and you can bring up the rear?" he suggests, nodding to Sophia.

Lothos frowns, looking around a bit, stepping back, then walking forward, then back. "Runes.." he points around at various things that some only he can see with detect magic. "Seems to spell out Ekeshius, an old god that fought the gods of light. The sadist.....ohh, that sounds delightful." The last is said with sarcasm.

A few dust devils can be seen spinning on the desert floor on the horizon. They vanish as quickly as they appear. The sun is immediately on top of you, indicating that it is now noon. It is very hot in the area...

Sophia nods, "Sounds like a plan... we'll need to get out of this sun, and soon." She glances at Munch and Lothos, "Let's get moving... but if this is an old temple to an old god of darkness, I have a bad feeling over what sort of monster we may be facing."

Munch nods. "I hope they're the spicy sort of demon and not the gamey sort of demon." Priorities. Munch has them. Moving over to the hatch, the barbarian jumps on top of it. A few hundred pounds of metal man should be enough to take him right though... why wait for silly things like being cautious?

GAME: Munch casts Feather Fall. Caster Level: 4 DC: 12

Munch crashes though the hatch... and yelps in surprise when there isn't a landing a short distance below. Stubby little wings flap desperately, but uselessly, far too small to be of any help... until gossimer filaments spool off from the membrane, weaving themselves into a large web of thin wings... the weight of the golem rips these delicate wings to shreds almost instantly, only for more strands to try and repair the damage. The end result means the barbarian continues to fall, but far slower than he elsewise might.

Lothos looks down, and nods, "Ok, well, you have a way yes?" He looks to Sophia, and if she confirms she is fine, he too will jump after munch. Floating slowly down, but without any fancy wings, pure raw witchy magics!

Reaver the GreatAxe, arguably the smarter of the golem duo, inquires "Okay... so how will we be getting back up?"

Sophia steps off the edge and descends slowly, no visible effect coming from her as she floats down as well. Though about halfway down, she does draw her longsword, the silvery blade glowing with azure light, the priestess glancing back and forth as she eventually lands next to the other two.

As Munch lands on the dust-covered floor, the light he has cast on himself illuminates the vast chamber he is in. There are many skulls and bones that decorate the chamber, and a sense of unease can be felt by those who enter the building. The ground looks tarry, but experience and knowledge offers a hint that this may have been blood long time ago. It would appear that the entire walls and floor is covered by it. An dark altar can be seen on the far end of the building...

Lothos looks around, needing that light created by Munch to see. "Well, at least its not a maze, and we have lots of room to maneuver when soemthing does try to kill us...cause, you know something will."

GAME: Lothos rolls perception: (3)+9: 12
GAME: Sophia rolls perception: (12)+14: 26
GAME: Munch rolls perception: (9)+17: 26

Munch huhs, keeping Reaver firmly in hand. "Usually have to look harder for the blood covered altar..."

Lothos says, "Just no clay golems I'm hoping, last evil alter had those."

Munch says, "'Try' to kill us. That's the important bit. And yeah, those things suck."

Sophia smiles faintly, "If there are, I have just the thing. Though hopefully no golems at all." She glances around, keeping her sword raised somewhat to provide more illumination.

You paged (Munch, Sophia) with 'You see two shapes on either side of the altar. It looks big with wings.'

Sophia pauses, then points her sword towards the altar, "Um, do you see what I see, fellows?" She points towards the altar, specifically the ends, "Something... big, with wings?"

Lothos squints, "Its a statue right, tell me its a statue..."

Munch blinks with a soft click, and nods towards the altar. Specifically, the large shadowy shapes to each side. "Yep. Think we've found what will be attempting to kill us."

You paged (Sophia, Munch) with 'It looks statuesque. It has not moved ever since you landed.'

Sophia hrms, "Hasn't moved yet... I would think that it would have reacted by now... particularly to me." She smiles faintly, "Still, best to be careful. No telling what sorts of things could still be lurking around here."

Lothos nods, and continues to look around, "Lets see about finding more magic." He whispers a few words, detecting magic once more.

GAME: Lothos casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 7 DC: -85

As Munch approaches the altar, he could see that the two winged figures on either side of the altar are statues. Statues of two grotesque-looking demons. They stare menacingly at anyone approaching the altar. On the altar is a glass case. There is a book inside it.

Munch peers, and shrugs... "Stone golem, maybe? OR they only react if we get close to that altar? ...or maybe they really are just statues."

Lothos peers around with slightly glowing eyes, "See its a trap, you think those statues are going to attack you, but its likely the book that's going to either suck you inside it, or eat your hand and then fly around trying to bite everyone."

You paged Lothos with 'The statues are magical. So is the altar. The glass covering the book is magically trapped, or so you think.'

Lothos points to glass, "Glass seems to have an enchantment, and statues are magical, altar magical, but the glass, definitely trapped."

Munch ehs. "Wouldn't be the first time something ate my hand. Didn't end well for the bug, wouldn't end well for the book."

Sophia blinks, "Well, that's different. It seems like a rather silly thing to intentionally trigger that trap, though." She glances over towards the other two, "Unless... do we believe these are the monsters that we're looking for? They seem a bit passive."

Munch shrugs. "Guards who watch the book, which summons the monsters? I think we should break them -before- they start to move."

Lothos nods, "Might as well, I mean, worst case scenario they just form back together and attack us, but that gives us a second or two."

Sophia hrms and sheathes her sword, "Alright." With that, she draws out her mace instead, the black metal blending with the shadows as she moves towards one of the statues, looking rather intent on smashing it.

Munch nods, and heads towards the other, ready to take out a stone kneecap. The golem remaining careful to stay well away from the altar and book.

Lothos moves back "I'll stay back a bit, just in case you know...I can heal a bit, for emergencies."

GAME: Munch rolls 1d12+10: (12)+10: 22
GAME: Sophia rolls 1d8+1: (5)+1: 6

The moment the statue is struck, it's eyes blaze red, and the stone covering begins to crumble and fall. Before the dust and debris settles a creature lunges forth and attacks Munch.

Benthus has dropped a TIMESTOP!

GAME: Lothos rolls initiative: Roll: 9 + Bonus: 4 = Total: 13
GAME: Munch rolls initiative: Roll: 19 + Bonus: 3 = Total: 22
GAME: You roll initiative for Winged foes: Roll: 8 + Bonus: +7 = Total: 15
GAME: Sophia rolls initiative: Roll: 14 + Bonus: 1 = Total: 15

<OOC> Sophia is much better once she gets her buffs going. But hasn't bothered yet. ;)
<OOC> Lothos says, "Drat, this shall prevent me from Fireballing!!!! Your too close!"
<OOC> Munch shall one day resist fire, and won't mind. For now, yes, fire still hurts.
<OOC> Benthus says, "Okay, the winged foe had a surprise round and attempts to disarm Munch."

GAME: Benthus rolls 1d20+20: (11)+20: 31
<OOC> Benthus says, "It disarms Munch."

The creature behind the statue that is brought to life by the crumbling of its restraints attacks the first person it sees, Munch. It does so by using its incredible long arms to swipe at his hands and disarm him before he could even react to the threat. It stares malevolently at everyone before it unfurls its wings and begins to rise up from the ground, hovering...

GAME: Benthus advances the initiative order.
Round One - Init 22.
It is now Munch's turn! Winged Foes is next!

GAME: Munch rolls knowledge/the planes: (9)+2: 11
<OOC> Munch says, "Move to fetch Reaver... and if that doesn't consume my Standard Action, use Dragon Breath."
<OOC> Benthus says, "Okay, picking up an item triggers an AoO, Munch. Proceed?"
<OOC> Benthus says, "It's a standard action."
<OOC> Benthus says, "That elicits AoO."
<OOC> Munch says, "Darn. Take the attack."
<OOC> Benthus says, "It attempts to trip you..."
GAME: Benthus rolls 1d20+20: (4)+20: 24

Munch acks as Reaver is swiped from his hands, and scrambles after the axe. He acks again as the demon swipes at his feet, but manages to remain upright, grabbing the blade and glaring at the monster. "You! You suck!" As yes, the height of witty banter....

GAME: Benthus rolls 1d20+6: (18)+6: 24

Lothos takes a few more steps back as the thing appears, grunting, "Vrock, dancing lightning demon...nasty thing. Well, lets see if I cant trip it up." He draws a tarot card from his pack and throws it at it....though, well, nothing happens. "Ok, well....its um...tough."

The demon simply stares at the tarot card thrown at it and ignores it...

The creature continues to hover about 10 feet above the ground as he lets Munch step away from it. Then it feels searing pain as Sophia brings forth the power of her god into the fight.

<OOC> Benthus says, "That hits its touch AC. If can't fly and falls to the ground."

Munch grumbles, and grabs a different leathery dreadlocks from his head, ripping the 'bag' free. Crushing the chemicals within together, the golem hurls the fizzing mix at the demon, where it bursts into a bubbeling green foam, which then swiftly dries into a sticky green goo. It's wings covered in the sudden chemical tar, the demon has a heck of a time staying in the air. The landing is hard, but not enough to hurt the infernal beast.

GAME: Benthus advances the initiative order.
Round Three - Init 15.
It is now Winged foes' turn! Lothos is next!

<OOC> Benthus says, "The demon uses its turn to tear down the sticky goo attached to it. And since it can attack 5 times in a round, it would be safe to say it is successful. It is still blinded, but it can make another save roll at the end of its round. Which is now."
GAME: Benthus rolls 1d20+6: (7)+6: 13
<OOC> Benthus says, "It is still blind."

<OOC> Sophia also thinks even if you miss the AC by like... 5, I think, you can pop an image possibly.
<OOC> Munch says, "Activate Rage, activate Boots for Haste, activate Dragon Claws. base attack, haste attack, second attack, offhand attack, bite attack."

<OOC> Benthus says, "Okay, you miss all attacks, but there are only 3 images left."

Munch grins, his face splitting open to show off row upon row of gleaming metal fangs. Chemical bladders collapse, sending waves of toxic chemicals into the golems limbs, powering muscles in a destructive fashion. His feet tingle, and a shower of rainbow sparkles rise, draping his limbs in magical speed. Rubbery flesh pulls back from his fingertips, leaving gleaming mithril claws behind. Munch attacks, blurring though the host of fake images, turning the horde into a few stragglers, but finding no solid flesh.

Munch buzzes happily, blade whirling though images and flesh, destroying the last of the arcane images before Reaver sinks into the feathery hide, the corpse starting to dissolve away even as the metallic teeth give a piercing snap. "Ha! ...that was nasty."

Lothos shakes his head, looking around for a bit and finally putting away his rods, "Well...that was something special wasn't it. Very good work both of you, I only got the one lucky shot in there." He detects magic once more, and finds the case is no longer enchanted. "I think we can get the book now."

GAME: Lothos casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 7 DC: -85
You paged Lothos with 'The magical trap on the glass case has been sprung. You can now retrieve the book without any further incident.'

Sophia smiles, "Always a pleasure to send one of /those/ things shrieking back to the Darkness." She nods towards Lothos, and goes over to retrieve the book, cleaning the foul ichor off her blade as she moves.

Munch nods, and spits out a stray feather. "Those aren't one of the spicy demons. They taste like bitterness and hate. Nasty. Still, glad it's not around any more."

Lothos moves over, and carefully reaches to take the book. "Ok, so, this has the answers we need to free the curse thingy.....right?"

The book talks about the god Ekeshius, and how it and its many minions waged war against the Sildanyari so very long ago. It was one of the many gods that were destroyed, or left floundering in limbo. Still, the servants of this evil god continue to operate, even though their patron is no longer there to listen to their cries. The book talks about the many rituals they have which consists of the torture of many good creatures, including the angels themselves. One particular thing of interest in the book is a location not far from the dawn elves home region. A clue as to where the remaining cultist are located maybe.

(End of plot... for now)
