"I think we should go to the house." says Raspin, with Ash nodding in agreement.

"I agree, but we should send Voltir in first, he's the best with melee fighting." says FoolishBalloon.

"Since when? I have a better weapon, more armor and I might go so far as to say that I am stronger than him." objects Ash

Voltir simply stares at Ash with his arms crossed before turning down the path without a word.

As you all follow up, suddenly FoolishBalloon shouts "Wait! What if there is an evil wizard in there?"

"Wizards and bandits, both die just as easy." mutters Voltir as he continues towards the house."Lets stick together exploring the area, we don't know what lives here."

Coming out of the forest, you see the house is a ramshackle old building that's upper floors have fallen inwards from the weight of years.

oltir steps up and kicks down the rotten door."Well we don't have to worry about anything here, whoever lived here is long gone. There is a coat of dust on everything inside, the broken tables and chairs, shards of glass from ancient paintings.

Stepping back out, Raspin has the idea to look around the house once more before they head back to the path. "There, under the window! It's a cellar!" he shouts as he runs up and throws open the door. "It's going to be dark down there, someone grab the old candle from inside."

Migelo runs back with the unlit candle, and FoolishBalloon quickly lights it with his fire magic.

"This does not look good." mutters ash as he descends the steps. "There was dust on everything in the other room, whereas this one has none."

You all descend into a small stone cellar, filled with closed cupboards and chests. "Look, they have weapons." says Voltir gleefully as he goes to pick up two pairs of weapons in the corner for more throwing.
Suddenly the shadows around the weapons from into darkling's, who step towards you.

Seeing that most of the darkling's are dead, you walk over to the fallen scythe from one of the darklings. Picking it up, you examine the scythe, spinning it around in your hands. yes, this will do nicely. You look up at the sound of a terrible scream and see that it came from the remaining darkling. It must have realized that its survival is hopeless.In response to the scream, the altar in the center of the room begins to glow. The shadows from all across the room begin to move in towards it, even the darkling that let loose the cry, though thankfully your darkling is able to resist being pulled in. As darkling reaches the collection of shadow, its form changes, the shadows shift and roil as they transform. The shadows form into a giant as tall as the ceiling, at least twelve feet high. Staring up at it, you see that it is no ordinary darkling, the usual shapeless blob is shaped like the shadow of a massive, muscled human. Deciding that shadow must combat shadow, you try to summon another darkling. Focusing on the image in your mind, you call it forth. Opening your eyes, you see it standing in front of you. Letting out a breath of relief that it worked, you feel like you are at the edge of what your ability can muster right now. If you summon any more without training, you feel that your mind will begin to strain under the pressure of controlling so many creatures.

Laying down on the cold stone floor, you try to get in a comfortable position, but it seems to be impossible on the rough hewn tiles. Giving up on finding a comfortable position, you decide to simply close your eyes and try to go to sleep. Suddenly you hear a terrible scream that forces you awake. You open your eyes and stand up, but the scream left a terrible ringing in your ears. Clamping your hands over them doesn't seem to help, but looking around you see that no one else seems to be affected by the screeching. You notice that the shadows around you are flowing away, so you glance up and see the altar in the center of the room glowing and pulling all of the shadows inward. As the darkling comes closer to the altar, the noise gets louder and more painful, driving you to your knees. As suddenly as it began, it stops, but you feel shaky from the experience and don't think that youll be able to focus well for a while.

Making sure to avoid the darkling, you pick up the spear and all your thrown swords. As you unsheathe your daggers to throw them at the darkling, it lets loose a terrible screech, echoing across the room. Turning around, you see the altar in the center of the room alight, drawing all the shadows of the room into it, including the darkling who let loose its cry. You see Raspin grip his head and fall to the ground, clearly in pain somehow. Watching with awe, you see the last of the shadows flow into the ladder. Just as the darkling hits, the shadows pour out and create a giant, bigger than even you. The creation rises to the ceiling and brandishes the darkling's swords with a mighty roar, though in its hands they look like knives. The thought of knives reminds you that you are holding daggers, so while the beast is looking away you let them fly.

You spin around and see the altar alight. Drawing your sword, you run past a crying Raspin, with his head in his hands, and a stunned Voltir, simply staring with his mouth open at the spectacle. You reach the altar at the same time as the darkling, and as you raise you sword above your head for a final swing on the darkling it disappears into the altar. Staring at the place it was standing, you warily back up. Just as you take a step back, the altar erupts with the shadows of the room, forming a beast that rises higher and higher, until it resembles that shape of a human, though at least double the size of a normal person, it width as well as height. Deciding that now is the optimum time, you swing your sword at its massive leg.

You light up the room with one of your fire farts, but then realize that it is already near as light as it can be, since the shadows have all been pulled away by some fell magic.

As the giant storms toward you, you reach for your sword, but find the sheath empty as you remember that it is off behind the giant.

You get up to walk over to your sword, but somehow manage to trip over your own feet, falling on your sword and cutting yourself. Cursing your clumsiness, you wrap your wound in what's left of your ragged tabard.

Then you take back your bow from the shadow you created, along with the remaining arrows and take the longsword from the dead giant. Only then do you notice your wound aching.

Seeing that Foolish is really dead, a pang of sorrow goes through you briefly until you wonder if he had any good loot. Running over to his corpse, you dig through his pockets and decide to take half his gold. Noticing that seventy-five gold pieces don't half easily, you decide to take the odd coin for yourself, pocketing 38 gold pieces. Examining his helmet, you see that the quality is still fairly good, so you shake the head out and put the helmet on before stepping away. Seeing that all that is done, you notice a gnawing hunger in your stomach as you realize that you haven't eaten for quite some time. Conjuring up your pastries, your mouth waters looking at them and you devour the first in seconds. Passing out the rest to your equally hungry party, they all thank you for your generosity.

Now that the battle is done, you know that its lootin' time! Running over to where lance died, you pick up his spear, then grab all the short swords you can find. The final sword brings you over to Foolish's corpse, where you decide to loot the rest of his gold. Looking around the empty room, you search the corners for some rare items, but nothing pronounces itself save the altar in the center. Walking over to it, you reach out and touch the stone. As your hand comes in contact with the altar, pain lances up through you arm and knocks you back. Grunting, you force yourself off the ground and look at the altar. You are surprised that the altar is broken, your touch seemed to have been all it took to destroy it. Now that you think about it, the very air feels different without the altar, perhaps now that it is gone, the darkling's hold over the forest is gone.

Thanking Raspin for the pastry, you sit down and try to learn healing magic, now that the main healer is dead, hopefully thinking that your knowledge of air magic may let you replace him.

Scene change:

"Alright everyone, let's get a move on, we have been in this forest too long already. I for one can't wait any longer to see the sun again." said Ash as he stood up and began to head up the passage.

His companions followed him wordlessly up the stairs and out of the cellar. Reaching the crossroads again, they wasted no time in turning down the other path. In a matter of minutes the dense brush of the forest was rapidly vanishing, giving way to the grassland ahead.

As they finally left the forest behind, night had already closed in around them, so they decided to make camp for the night.

"I for one," began Voltir, as he piled sticks together to start a fire. "Am looking forward to a good meal, we've been stuck in that forest for near to a day eating naught but pastries!"

"Sorry, I didn't know that you hated my pastries so much Voltir,but perhaps next time you won't have anything to eat and you'll be begging me for my pastries." said Raspin.

"Well, at least we are less than a day's walk to the Emperor's castle. Now that we lost Gerard and his men, we have to rely on our tale to get us in. Hopefully they get one look at your armor and let you guys in." said Migelo. "Wait, do you hear something?"

As they looked up, a bedraggled man came out of the shadows and plunked himself down near the fire.

" 'Ello friends, I saw your fire. You have room for another I trust?" said the man.

They all regarded him warily as the light lit up his face, revealing dark hair and shifty looking eyes, with a scar across one of them. All of them were clearly thinking the same thought, that this is not a good man, when more voices sounded.

"Ah, we've finally caught the dirty scum, said a soldier as he came into view with five other men. "And his friends it would seem."

As Ash stood up and began to object, to tell them that this man was no friend of theirs, the captain drew his sword.

"In the name of our Emperor, Cicero, I place you all under arrest. You will come with us back to Camtaer and await judgment in our cells."

Any chance for a peaceful resolution was lost as the man jumped up and threw a knife at one of the guards, embedding it in his throat and killing him.

"Take them dead or alive!" the captain shouted as he drew his sword.

You are not a soldier, this is not your fight. You had prepared to leave in the morning back through the woods, but unforeseeable circumstances forced you to leave early. As the guards drew their weapons and charged forth, you slipped into the shadows and fled, heading the long way back to Akadan.

You then turn as run after the fleeing soldiers, propelling your shortswords towards them with your air manipulation.

Nezak(Flamelasher)

Action: Answer any questions but keep the fire. I like it.

Roll(3)

You stand by the campfire and watch the two men return from their chase, the big one limping and leaning on the other man, who walks over to you after leaving the bigger man. "Who are you?"

"I am Nezak, and you are?"

"A soldier, what did you do to have them chase you this far?" says the soldier, who looks as if he doesnt want to know.

A wicked smile lights up your face "Oh, you know, I stole a few things, killed a few people, judging by your equipment, I would say that you have done the same."

"What brought you to kill these people?" asks the soldier, who clearly looks offended at your response.

The smile remains on your face as you speaks "They angered me. It began as a child, when others would insult me. I didn't know what to do, so I endured. Then my wishes came true when my father gave me a sword, he did not know what I would do with it. I slipped into one of the others houses at night, and killed him in his sleep for what he had done to me, then I collected a vial of his blood and stored it in my room. Every night I did this, until they were gone, and whenever another would anger me, they would meet the same fate. Nothing could be traced back to me, save the blood hidden in a chest in my room." Then your smile disappeared "Then I made a mistake, a few days ago, I finally decided on what to do with my collection. I went to a smith that I thought could be trusted and had him melt down my sword and reforge it, though with the blood added to it. He did the job of course, and upon finishing ,my blade was returned to me, the blood had given the blade a fantastic red color. Unfortunately, he then alerted the city watch, who found me. Rather than submit to the axe, I fled and was pursued. Looking back on my mistake, it's no wonder that I was discovered, I should have done the deed myself.

The man is shocked by what you say, his eyes give that away, but he surprises you with his response"Keep your head down as we pass through the gate."

You feel your eyes widen. "You want me to go back there?Are you out of your mind?Well, I suppose it gives me the opportunity to kill the blacksmith..."

"You may be a murderer, but you seem to have some skill with that sword. And when in the town, you will not kill anyone. We saved your meager life, you at least owe us your blade for a time.

Seeing that it is hopeless now to try and catch the last few soldiers, you walk over to the fire and sit down beside it. As you stare into the flames, you are suddenly struck with an idea, If I can conjure cloth, surely I can learn the ability to summon iron.You focus on what you already know of conjuring cloth, picturing a nice shirt, (not quite as spiffy as your current one, but still nice) then envisioning iron shields covering the area over your heart and stomach. Seeing the image clearly in your mind, you attempt to call it forth, pulling your creation into the fabric(Get it?Cloth?Fabric?Haha Cool

Grabbing your daggers off the ground, you sprint after the soldiers that are running, trying to stop them from escaping. Unfortunately, you are running down a hill, in the dark, and did not notice the sharp rock sticking out of the ground. Not only does your foot slam into it, causing you to leave a bloody trail, you are also sent flying over the rock where you begin to roll down the hill. Finally stopping your horrendous ride, you manage to open your eyes and see one of the soldiers throw something as he runs past you. Squinting your eyes, you only just make out the shape of a sword before it digs into your leg. You cry out in pain and yell for help.

Roll(4+3=7)

"Voltir, can i borrow a few shortswords?" you ask as both of you are heading towards where his daggers landed.

"Sure, here." he says, as he quickly unsheathes two swords and hands them to you. Just after you find his daggers, you both begin to run. Him in front, you behind, charging down the hill. Suddenly you see the shape of Voltir disappear as he lets loose a cry and begins to roll down the hill. You stop running and move cautiously forward, feeling a jagged rock push lightly against your foot. You step around it and continue down the hill, though more slowly than before for fear of falling. You hear a cry of pain close in front of you and wrap air around your swords, ready to propel them off at a moment's notice. You hear Voltir yell for help and run over to where he lays, seeing a sword in his leg. Your eyes lock on to one of the fleeing soldiers as you send both your swords flying towards him.

The blades fly toward the soldier and dig into his back, driving him to the ground and killing him. Looking around for the other, you curse under your breath at seeing him nowhere, and return to Voltir. Pulling the sword out from his leg, you have him lean on your shoulder as you begin the long trek back up the hill.

Finally reaching the top, you leave the captains longsword by one of the soldiers corpses, then pick up your flail and greatsword from where you left them. Walking over to the fugitive, you clear away the impedance and begin to question him.

"Who are you?"

"I am Nezak, and you are?"

"A soldier, what did you do to have them chase you this far?"

A wicked smile lights up Nezak's face "Oh, you know, I stole a few things, killed a few people, judging by your equipment, I would say that you have done the same."

Alarm bells go off in your head as Nezak speaks, reassuring you that this is a very evil man. " What brought you to kill these people?"

The smile remains on his face as he speaks "They angered me. It began as a child, when others would insult me. I didn't know what to do, so I endured. Then my wishes came true when my father gave me a sword, he did not know what I would do with it.

You stare at him in disbelief, words going through your head all telling him to leave, but your mouth disagrees as you hear yourself speak. "Keep your head down as we pass through the gate."

Nezak's eyes widen. "You want me to go back there?Are you out of your mind?Well, I suppose it gives me the opportunity to kill the blacksmith..."

"You may be a murderer, but you seem to have some skill with that sword. And when in the town, you will not kill anyone. We saved your meager life, you at least owe us your blade for a time.

Scene change: Perspective of Nezak

Morning comes too soon as you roughly force yourself off the ground, knowing that all of what lays ahead of you today is returning to the place of your crimes. As everyone packs up and prepares to leave, Raspin turns to you.

"You should lose the fire, it will probably attract unnecessary attention in the city."

"I know that" you spit back angrily, but inside, you regret that you actually had forgot about the fire.

You walk across the plains to the city in the distance, all manner of scenarios going through your head. What it the guard who fled has warned the city about these soldiers? What if the gate guard recognizes me? This proves to work up your fear, but also passes the time, as before your know it, you're are staring up at the gates, mixed in with a long line of travelers and merchants waiting to get inside the city. As you pass under them, the guards only give you a passing glance, though they stop Voltir and Ash, who are still wearing their ragged soldiers clothes. Knowing that you have to keep moving to avoid suspicion, you don't wait for them until you get inside, stepping out of the crowd for a moment and scanning for them. You briefly entertain the thought of leaving, but some thought in the back of your mind keeps you standing there. You spot Voltir towering above the crowd and wave him over.
"Ok guys, I have one friend in this town, she probably is at the flying goose right now, it's the tavern just up there. I'm sure she's willing to join us."

"Very well, but no funny business." says Voltir gruffly

You walk into the tavern and see her, standing over by the counter. A few people were glancing at her, as they might, she was half dragon. A human in shape, but with navy colored scales covering her body.

"Amina!" you call out, and she runs over to you.

"Nezak! I heard terrible things, I thought you were gone, but you're back! Who are your friends?"

"They are Akadan soldiers, coming to the emperor for help in their war." Seeing the soldiers look at you in disbelief, you tell them "Hey, I'm a people person. It helps that you are wearing an Akadan soldiers garb, even though it is terribly torn." Turning back to Amina" I'm thinking that we should stop by the market, these people have quite a few items that they could sell, then we'll head on to the palace, do you want to join us?"

"Well, I have always wanted to go on an adventure, and this definitely seems like one, so yes, i'll go."

"Great, now let's head to the market."

Walking through the crowded streets, you eventually come to the market. "Alright, you can buy and sell what you want here, and when you're done, we will move on to emperors palace."

Market

Amina(Malregima)

Action: minor: buy agile pants, start asking Nezak about what he was up to (read most of the story but my character dont know it )

Roll: (--)

You stand at the entrance of the market, scanning through the stalls and trying to separate the loud voices for something useful. You hear an all manner of sure fire cures for various ailments, tools to ease your daily lives, weapons, armor and finally one specific voice catches your attention.

“Agile pants! They are a must have! Only one pair left, created through magical means to enhance your skill! Buy these Agile pants now, while you still can!”

Focusing on where the voice is coming from, you see a short, stout red-faced man calling out about the pants. You walk over to the man, inquiring about these curious pants.
“Excuse me, kind sir, but may I find out more about these pants?”

“Of course, of course. I have … contacts who sell me magical items, these items are imbued with magic to enhance the wearers ability’s. These pants in particular will help your agility, and for only the low price of thirty gold coins, they can be yours!

“But, how do they work?”

“Magical means, of course. Unless you mean how they affect you, which works through you simply putting them on! Just give me thirty-five coins and it will be yours!” the man laughs heartily

“But you said only thirty before; I’ll give you fifteen coins for the pants.”

The man looks taken aback, the smile falling off his face.”F-f-fifteen? Fifteen coins for these fine pants? I won’t go lower than twenty five!”

“Fine, I suppose I don’t really need the pants” you say, feining disinterest, and you begin to walk away.

“Wait!Come back! Twenty coins, that’s as low as I will go!” says the man pleadingly

“I suppose twenty coins is reasonable.” You say as you nearly empty your coinpurse to pay for the pants. Putting the purse back, you can’t help but feel sad knowing that the only money you have left is a measly ten coins. You glance around and see Nezak with a new studded leather cuirass on, though more importantly; he is glaring at a shopkeeper. You run over to Nezak, making him forget about his thoughts of killing yet another man.

“Hey Nezak, what have you been up to since we last saw each other?”

“Well, I bought this new armor.” He says with a laugh. “Unless you mean since I left town. I told you about my sword, but it turns out that the blacksmith wasn’t as trustworthy as I thought. He alerted the guards, and the next thing you know, I’m running out of town with six lightly armored men on my tail. I kept trying to lose them, but it’s fairly hard when you are on a plain with nothing but hills. I finally saw a fire and decided to head up there, knowing I was too tired to run any longer, and I wasn’t about to go through the woods. I sat down and hoped that the people would help me, but the guards helped that by attacking them before they could make a decision. Then they asked me to come with them here to show them around town.”

Just as you begin to walk away to look around the market some more, one of the soldiers runs up to you.
“Hello, we never properly met. I’m Ash Jiervan, a soldier of what’s left of Akadan.So how do you know Nezak?”

“Oh, well, our parents are friends.” You say, still not comfortable about this man.

“What are you skilled in? and Nezak as well, if he has any other than fire magic and killing sleeping people.

“Um, I know water magic and am pretty good in a fight up close. Nezak also knows earth magic, but he didn’t always kill sleeping people, most of the time they were awake when he snuck up behind them.” Still unsure about telling this man everything, you hesitate slightly.”I try to stop him when I can, but that’s just a problem of his.”

Nezak(Flamelasher)

Action: Buy the Studded Leather Currias

Roll(--)

Walking into the market, you go without hesitation towards a stall selling armor, where you've been a few times before. You examine the studded leather armor on display and politely inquire about its price.

"How much would you ask for the cuirass,Karl? Twenty coins?"

Twenty coins and your bloody hide, Nezak!" the shopkeeper says with a laugh. "Where have you been?" Karl asks."Twenty five coins for the cuirass, that price is final. Do you know how many children slaved away to make this fine piece?" Karl says again with a hearty laugh. "Kidding of course, not about the price though, twenty five coins."

"You sure you can't go any lower? My coinpurse feels terribly light at the moment."

" 'Fraid not, Nezak. I only get these in for twenty two coins, twenty five is the best offer I can give you. It only gives me a small profit, but if I go any higher, all my customers will go over to that other stall"

Handing Karl twenty five coins, you look at the shopkeeper that Karl pointed at and your brow draws down upon realizing that it's the blacksmith. You debate whether to kill him now, or hide from his sight, when Amina runs up.
“Hey Nezak, what have you been up to since we last saw each other?”

“Well, I bought this new armor.” You say with a laugh. “Unless you mean since I left town. I told you about my sword, but it turns out that the blacksmith wasn’t as trustworthy as I thought. He alerted the guards, and the next thing you know, I’m running out of town with six lightly armored men on my tail.

I sat down and hoped that the people would help me, but the guards helped that by attacking them before they could make a decision. Then they asked me to come with them here to show them around town.”

Amina looks satisfied by your answer and turns to walk away when Ash runs up and begins questioning her. You decide to look around the market some more, but don't find anything that stands out.

Walking up to a nearby merchant, you offer to sell your heavy mace, battleaxe, short sword and dagger.

After he inspects the items, he offers up prices "I'll give you twelve gold for this mace,ten for the battleaxe,ten for the short sword and two for the dagger. That's the only offer I'll give, take it or leave it."

You agree and take the coins, heading off to a stall displaying a fantastic looking sword, and ask about its price.

"Ah, this fine piece is a remarkable creation, and its only eighty gold coins."

You nearly stagger back at the price, but you know you have enough. Staring at the sword, with the light glinting off it, you can't help but be lured in. You hand over eighty coins without argument and walk away with your sword. You sit on the ground at the place where you all planned to meet when you were finished and draw the sword out of the sheath. You lose yourself examining every part of the finest blade you have ever laid your eyes upon. This sword would have even left General Tarrn's fine weapon looking like a shoddy scrap of metal next to this. Though you cannot help but wonder why such a fantastic sword would have fallen into your hands for only eighty coins. A weapon like this could easily get three times as much.

Ask a nice looking peasant about the war that is going on.

Roll(--)

Seeing Raspin unload alot of weapons at a merchant's stall, you decide to follow suit. "I was wondering if I could sell you some items? I saw you take some of my companions wares off his hands."

The man's brow lowers at the question. "What did you have in mind?"

"Mostly weapons, but also an old shield of mine."

" Of course, show me what you have and I'll give you a price."

You pull out all the items you want to sell and he examines each carefully before steeping away.

"I'll give you five gold for the sharp spear, two gold for the short spear,ten gold for each short sword, fifteen for the longsword, six for each hand axe, three for the sharp dagger and one for the other one. I'll also give you twelve coins for the shield and eight for the cuirass."

As you walk away from the stall, feeling heavy of purse and light of heart, a cuirass catches your eye. Running over to the object, the blacksmith standing beside it stops you.

"No touching unless you mean to buy it." the blacksmith says in a grim tone.

"It looks good quality, did you forge it yourself?"

"Aye, I've been crafting weapons since I was a boy. This cuirass is mine, as is the sword on display, have no doubts about my skill, I have even mastered the art of recoloring metal. But dont think to buy this piece with words, its fifty gold, nothing less.

"I'll take it then." you say as you take fifty coins out of your coinpurse.

The blacksmith raises his eyebrows "You have fifty gold? I'll be the judge of that." he says as he meticulously looks at every individual coin. "Well, i must say, i am surprised. You don't look rich after all, but take the cuirass, it's yours now, put it to good use."

"That sword of yours also caught my eye, how much is that?"

"It's fifty gold as well."

"Then here's fifty more gold."

"How much money do you have man?" the blacksmith says in shock. "Are you some noble in tatters? A great mercenary?"

"Just a soldier." you reply gruffly.

As you leave the stall, you spot a healer calling out his skills,
"Healing remedies for all your wounds and sicknesses!"

Suddenly recalling your injuries, you walk over to the man and ask about prices.

"Hmm, your wounds look serious, but not life threatening, give me fifteen coins and ill bring you back to shape."

"Very well" you say as you dig out fifteen coins and place them into his hands.

The man steps back to a cabinet in his stall, unlocking it and pulling out a few potions. He mixes them together in a bowl and spreads the contents over your wounds.

"Can you not use magic?" you ask.

"Oh, I can and will, but i was just preparing you for the pain."

"Pain?" you say, and then you are suddenly struck by a terrible pain accompanied by the crack of bones. Your eyes refocus and you stand up off the chair, feeling in perfect condition. "Thank you." you say as you walk away, still questioning the odd form of healing.

Seeing a leather helmet of fantastic make on display in a stall, you walk over to ask its price.

"Ah this fine piece is quite a deal, for only twenty coins, and for another ten, I can throw in a return guarantee, if the magic doesn't work, you can replace it with a new helmet!"

"Just the helmet, here's twenty coins." you say as you did the money out of your coinpurse.

"Pity, no one ever wants the guarantee. Very well, here is your helmet, may it protect you well."

You thank the merchant and head over to Amina, deciding to question her on a few choice subjects.

“Hello, we never properly met. I’m Ash Jiervan, a soldier of what’s left of Akadan." you say." So how do you know Nezak?” you ask, hoping to learn more about the man.

“Oh, well, our parents are friends.” she says, as if holding something back.

“What are you skilled in? and Nezak as well, if he has any other than fire magic and killing sleeping people.

“Um, I know water magic and am pretty good in a fight up close. Nezak also knows earth magic, but he didn’t always kill sleeping people, most of the time they were awake when he snuck up behind them.” She says, slightly hesitantly.”I try to stop him when I can, but that’s just a problem of his.”

As Voltir finishes up his business with the blacksmith that Nezak was glaring at, you all have finished what you needed to do in the city.

"Alright everyone, the palace is just up the hill, hopefully they will let you see the emperor just on your claim. Lets move out." says Nezak, as he turns and begins to head uphill.

You can't help but feel nervous as you approach the gate, having never been up this close to the palace in all the time you've lived here. The palace guards look fantastic with the light of midday glinting off their gilded steel armor. They stand in front of you, blocking your path and you make sure to stand back so as not to speak.

"Halt, what business have you in the emperors palace?" one of the guards asks, in the cold voice of duty.

Nezak steps aside from his lead and allows Ash to speak.
"Three of us are soldiers of Akadan, we are the few survivors here as a testament of proof to the Daedalian aggression towards the other nations, we have come to speak with your leader, hoping to assemble the powers of our realm to defeat Daedalia." Ash says in a powerful voice.

The guard who spoke looks to the other, who nods. "Very well, I will escort you to the Emperor himself. If this really is the threat you say, he will want to hear it from you in person.

They guard turns on his heel and walks through the gates, clearly wanting you to follow. Ash keeps the lead for the walk as you pass under great marble arches on the path to the grand palace. Passing through its doors leaves you in awe as you gape at the exquisite stone sculptures and paintings that adorn the walls. After passing through long hallways, you come to a great pair of golden doors that swing open in front of you. A grand carpet leads to the emperor, in all his grandeur, sitting atop his throne. It was quite a walk from the doors to the foot of the throne, most like to intimidate those come to meet him. The emperor was a large man, but the crown atop his head made him seem even larger yet.

The emperor greets you politely, stepping off his throne and heading down to personally shake your hands. "Akadan soldiers, your skill in battle precedes you, but these are dark times indeed for you to come to my hall in this state." says the emperor, gesturing towards Ash's tattered garb. "If the tales are true, your country has fallen. I had hoped these rumors were false, but your appearance lends weight to the other side. What is it you have come for?"

"Your grace, I come before you humbly to request aid in the fight against the Daedalian menace. Me and my companions have taken it upon ourselves to recruit aid and hopefully unite the powers of the land together against daedalia. We are survivors of a firsthand attack by Daedalia, we were prepared, yet still they swept over us as if we were nothing but straw. They are led by a terrible witch atop a massive dragon, and if nothing is done, they will claim the otherland for themselves alone. I beg, no implore you to join forces with the other powers." says Ash with a passionate air about him.

"And you will have the aid of Caehid, i will send riders to the other countries, giving them a call to arms, hopefully this will bring them and we united can crush the daedalians on the field of battle. Steward, escort these men to the guest chambers and prove them with every luxury they desire. You may stay here as long as you want, just tell the door guard what you would like and if in our power it will be brought to you."

You are guided away through yet more extravagant halls until you are brought to a room with a fairly small door, though in all fairness it is still slightly bigger than the doors in your own home, but the massive scale of everything else makes it diminutive in comparison. Entering the room, you find yourself in a grand atrium, looking up through a domed glass ceiling to the setting sun above. Many different rooms are off to the sides, this seems a place where you could stay for days before knowing your way around the whole of it.

Scene Change

Perspective of Raspin:

"If you would happen to need anything, just tell the guard outside and he will send for it." says the steward with a bow as he exits the room.

Idly thanking the man, you step deeper into the room. "Was this place built with the aid of giants?" you murmur under your breath, staring far above at the great glass ceiling far above your head." We could walk around for days and still have things to see, I do not like this. Give me a tent in a quiet forest any day over this extravagance."

"That may be so." says Ash. "But their emperor has been gracious with his hospitality, we should not throw it in his face by leaving so soon, we should at least find out what awaits us in here." he says, gesturing to the many doors in the grand, circular room.

As you step through the first door, you find yourselves in a smaller, but still fairly large atrium, built in the same style as the main one. You groan upon entering "How can people live like this, rooms, that lead to rooms, which lead to yet more rooms!"

Hearing a door close behind you, you turn around and see the steward.
"His grace requests your presence in the throne room, follow me." he says, lacking the friendliness of before.

All of your companions step outside with you, just as you do, guards close in on your sides and begin to march, following the steward back to the throne room.

Entering the throne room, you are all guided down the carpet to the front of the emperors thrones. Many soldiers stand around the throne this time, two standing just out of your way before it. The smiling face of the emperor was gone, replaced by an angry scowl that did not sit well upon his face. As you stop in front of him, he shows no signs of getting up off his throne.

"You have vile crimes to answer for." said the emperor in a tone as dark as his scowl."You came beneath my roof seeking shelter, but not a day before did you slay my guardsman, men sent to apprehend a criminal. Is this not true?"

Ash went to one knee before the emperor. "Your grace, that may be so, but the order of these events seem to have eluded you. We were attacked by your guardsman first, after a criminal wandered up to our campfire. The captain saw him and drew his sword on us."

"Lies!" cried one of the two soldiers standing before the throne, who you vaguely recognized as one of the soldiers who escaped. "Your friend attacked our commander, then you began to slaughter us by some vile witchcraft!"

"He was not our friend, and his attack had nothing to do with us!" replied Ash angrily

"Enough! Guards, throw these murderers in the dungeon, tomorrow they will hang." roared the emperor.

The guards drew their blades, and you drew yours, along with Voltir, Ash and Nezak. Amina on the other hand simply stood closer to Nezak. As the guards closed in, steel clashed on steel. Then it ended, with everyone in the fight locked in position, the emperors mage stepped forward, on old man in a simple grey robe.

"Your grace, I will send them to the dungeons myself." he said as he cast out his hands.

The world began to spin, colors all around you ran together until they became indistinguishable, running away and becoming grey, then you began to slow. You found yourselves in a prison cell, old grey stone on either side. Looking around, you found that everyone had been cleared of their weapons and armor, instead garbed in the dirty rags of a prisoner.

"Arrgh!" yelled Voltir. "I didnt even get the chance to fight!" kicking madly at the iron bars.

"So is this it then?" you ask. "The end of our quest, rotting in a prison cell to be hanged the next day?"

No one answered but they clearly heard you. You sat down in one corner and are quickly joined by Voltir and Ash, while Amina and Nezak sit in another. The cell was silent until Voltir suddenly rose, a look of rage on his face."This is all his fault!" he roared, pointing at nezak "If he hadn't come along, we would have been fine! I'm going to tear him apart!" as he lunged towards Nezak, Ash stepped in front.

"What's done is done Voltir, you can't change it, and beating him to death won't solve anything."

"As if he could!" Nezak says sharply, earning another grunt from Voltir, though this time he sits back down.

After that, the silence came back, broken only by a faint sound of water dripping in the distance.

Guards showed up once, if only to spit on them. But finally someone came to help. The old man stepped into view, though still behind the bars, and pushed all your belongings through them. "Put these on and hurry, I will explain while you redress." Seeing everyone scramble and begin sifting out their belongings, he begins to speak. "It saddens me to see that you have lost two since I last saw you."

At that, Ash stops what he was doing. "I knew I recognized you, you were Migelo's master! Before he left, that is, we never should have trusted a Bangaa."

"Do not be too hard on yourself, I was blind to this betrayal as well, but I came to help you. The Emperor has be true to his word, he did send letters calling the other country's to battle, though I fear only the south will heed him, you must go north. The nations of Logellar and Nilne has long been at war with each other, both powerful countries, but held back from greatness by their rivalry. You must go and unite them for the coming battle.

"As much as I would like to help, their feud goes back since our people settled these lands, unless you are going with us, I cant see how we will be successful." says Ash

"Alas I cannot, i must stay behind and conceal your escape, but my friend, Ragnar, will guide you there." he said, stepping aside to let a man through. Ragnar was massive, taller than even Voltir, at least seven feet, with powerful looking arms.
"Follow me." he said as he opened the door with a key he somehow managed to get, best leave that thought alone.

"I hope to see you again, if not in any of the city's, I am sure that we will be at the great battle together." said the old man as he headed back up the steps out of the dungeon.

"There is a passage behind here." said Ragnar as he pulled a torch down. There was a loud clacking noise, and Ragnar pushed his shoulder against the wall as he forced the door inwards. After all of you stepped through, he pulled the door back. As it came back into place, another opened at the end of the passage, revealing the dark of night beyond.

You all follow Ragnar without a word as he pushed past the bush hiding the entrance, revealing the vast plain before you. "No lights, we have to reach that forest before dawn"

Finally after hours of walking, you reach the forest. Going a bit deeper in, Ragnar drops his pack and pulls out some hard bread, he tears it apart and hands all of you a piece." Do what you will, so long as it doesn't involve fire, I'm going to sleep."

You look around the small glade, seeing some mushrooms growing beneath the trees, an old fallen tree, and dense brush in the forest beyond. this is the life you think to yourself.

Roll #37

Amina(Malregima)

Action: major: meditate/sleep to review her spells.

Roll: ( 8 )

Setting your pack down, you lay your head on it and try to fall asleep, but find your mind racing over the happenings of the day. Deciding that you can't get to sleep at this time, you sit up and close your eyes, this time meditating on improving aspects of your spells, as you clearly need to be at your best with this group of soldiers. Focusing on your fairly advanced knowledge of controlling water, for the first time in your life, you realize that you magic is not very useful here. You only know how to shape it to your will and move it, you have no clue how to create water. Deciding that this is the best course of action, you deepen your meditation, focusing on a stream of flowing water in your mind, which was how you started your training in water manipulation. You make a few changes to the picture, mainly removing the stream, so you can place it in yourself. Seeing the picture as complete as you want it to be, you draw your mind into it, and for a moment everything is gone.

Suddenly you are standing in a lush field, with green grass and rolling hills, with a few scattered trees throughout. Looking more carefully, you see an empty riverbed. This oddity causes you to examine the area ore carefully. You notice that the edges of the plain that you can see are turning brown. Then you look to the trees and find that they are dying, which brings you to realize that these plants must have lived off the stream. Suddenly you feel your skin begin to burn, to which you jump in fright. A strange idea hits you, what if you are somehow attached to the stream as well. To say it, it sounds like an idea one would laugh at, but as the words went through your mind, it seemed much more believeable. I have to get this stream flowing again.Deciding that you don't have time to check off in the distance for some sort of blockade, you take it upon yourself to try and create the water. You focus on various pictures, a waterfall, a river, a stream, but nothing works. Finally you try a simple ball of water,Now this feels right you think, as you cast the image out through your hands and water begins to pour out of them. Only a little at first, but your need forces more and more out, filling up the river faster than you thought possible. Smiling at your success, you fall back onto the soft grass and close your eyes.

Then you open your eyes and find yourself back at the campsite, breathing out heavily, you smile at having survived that place again. Your teacher had told you that it was a dangerous place, you forget everything, and if you do not complete what you sent yourself to do soon enough, than you die. It is a good place to learn magic, where else than a place where your need is desperate, but still, it is a risky Endeavour, and know you have survived it twice.

As you finally come to a stop in this place, a sudden rage overtakes you. "I WANT MAH SWORD BAKK!!" you roar, earning an angry look from Ragnar, a confused look from Amina, and sharp words from Ash.

"It's right there in your sheath." he says, pointing.

"Oh, i guess.. i..uh..ill be over here" you say, now angry at yourself for sounding like a fool, you go stand by the trees on the edge and decide to seek the comfort of the earth. You step a bit more out into the forest, looking for some sort of rock, when your boot hits something hard and causes you to trip. You angrily turn to the cause, and find a nice sized rock. "Ah ha!" you shout, as you grip your earth magic, focus on the rock and tear three good sized daggers of rock out of it. Examining them, you find that only one is as effective as a regular dagger, and the other two fall short. You march back to the camp with conflicting feelings, angry that you only made one, but happy that you found a rock.

Roll (8 )

As you sit down, you recall your first encounter with bandits in the cave. "We must not be distracted from our quest. The evil first witnessed in these barbarians back at our cave shelter are still present in this land."

"Not bloody likely." rebukes Ragnar. "The mage told me that they were in the service of Daedalia, wreaking havoc through lands that their army has passed through. The Daedalians may be strong, but they certainly aren't stupid. If every bandit in the land was given one of those notes, it would confirm the rumors of war if one was killed. Either way, don't bother with thoughts of bandits in this forest, they wouldn't dare come near here, and neither will the city watch. Goblins and Gnomes dwell here, always fighting each other. And these aren't your regular dumb goblins, these creatures are smart, with technology that would surprise you, and the Gnomes are small, with little weapons, but they know where to hit you, and with that they hit hard."

"What would they be doing in a forest this close to the city?" you ask

"Ha! This ain't your Akadan Empire, the forests hold many creatures. You've no doubt heard of the Darkling woods?" seeing three of you nod, he continues. "The emperor of this land has always wanted to take control o' these forests, but moving the army in only serves to get more men killed. Once, one emperor thought he was clever, having soldiers through torches into the forest, the fire would take hold and burn it to the ground, better farm land than no land he had thought. The bloody idiot didn't think they would be able to put the fires out, next thing you know, goblins and gnomes start killing any guards close enough from under the cover of the forest, with more joining every moment. I hear that a thousand men were killed that day, probably helped by the fact that the fleeing soldiers didn't bother to drag the wounded away. Chances are good that we'll run into both of them before the we find the other end."

After Ragnar's tale, everyone is silent, and you look nervously around the edges. Suddenly you jump when a shout is heard.

"Ah Ha!"

"Was that a goblin, or a gnome?" asks Voltir.

"Neither, it was Nezak, i'd know his voice anywhere." says Malregima

Breathing out in relief, you notice that your hands are dreadfully unprotected, so you set out to create iron gauntlets, similar to how you made an iron shirt. You focus on a picture of an cloth glove, then place iron plates over top of it in your head. You call the object forth and there it sits in your lap. Putting it on, you feel more protected, but oddly, you feel more protected there than anywhere else.

As Nezak runs off into the forest, you spot a tree that is perfect for practicing your throwing skills, so you use your conjuring to summon up daggers, throwing them and focusing just enough for them to hit the target before letting them disappear. While you throw, you decide to lighten the spirits with a little amiable chatter."So, this turned into some adventure, eh guys?" you say, clearly directing your questions toward your two fellow soldiers, though you notice that they are too engrossed in what Ragnar is telling them. It's not like they need to focus that much, Goblins and gnomes, alright, lets kill them if the attack us

Perspective of Voltir:

"Wake up, you lot. We have to reach the bridge today, get up and get moving." shouts Ragnar.

Grumbling at being awoken so rudely, you slowly wrap up your bedroll. "Is it far?" you ask.

"Depends. We might run into Goblins or Gnomes, and that will slow the trip. If we dont however, it shouldn't be long. There's a good sized clearing at the old bridge, still there from when men used to walk through the forest." he answers. "Is that seriously how you tie a bedroll? Don't they teach you soldiers anything? Give it here."

"They taught me to do it this way, if you're so smart, then show me how you do it." you say, thrusting the bedroll at him.

A few quick twists and he packed it up neatly, handing it back to you. "Here, and close your mouth, it's pretty basic knowledge where I come from. Come on, let's get moving!" he calls, beginning to walk before checking to see if anyone was following.

Forging through the bushes at the speedy pace that Ragnar set definitely gave no time for your mind to wander, always having to focus on keeping up and dodging thorned branches. Suddenly a strange cry was heard just to the side.

Ragnar drew his sword and steps into the bushes, closely followed by you.

"What was that?" you whisper.

"A goblin, what's confusing is that they didn't attack yet, meaning they must be fighting something else. Gnomes perhaps.There!" yells Ragnar, pointing at a bush

You look at him oddly until you see a small little green creature dart out from under it, charging off towards what must be a gnome. A small creature not even half your height dressed in clothes that would be seen in any town, except smaller.

"Remember, they are both our enemies, but they stand against each other as well." calls Ragnar as he runs in to the fray.

Bursting through the bush with Nezak as you followed Ragnar and Voltir, you notice many creatures moving throughout the trees.

"The goblins and gnomes are fighting each other." says Ragnar" But that doesn't mean they will ignore us, keep your guard up, they are both our enemies."

Taking keep your guard up fairly literally, you decide to create a shield of water around everyone in your group, hopefully providing some small protection from the enemies. You focus on the image of a ball of water, as you did in your mind before, casting it out in front of you. The water begins pouring out of the ball and forming into a small shield orbiting around all of your companions, as if it knew your will.

Having finished creating the shield, you move behind Nezak, but just as you do, he bursts out of your shield into the fray.

Satisfied with the location, you draw your NORMAL longsword, making sure specifically that it is not your longsword of health, as well as conjure up a dagger. You stare intently at the foes until you spot the clear leader of the goblins, deciding that he will be your target, you throw your weapons towards him.

Amina(Malregima)

Action: minor: watches everyone to see if the shield did it's job and restore shield if necessary, except wondering if her shield is more of annoyance to Nezak since he uses fire.
Major: "drown" a nearest enemy (gnome1) by summoning ball of water around its face

Roll: ( 6+1(Staff)=7 )

You glace around to your companions, watching your shield deflect most of the blows that are directed to them. You see Nezak go through your shield to fight, showing that it is more an annoyance than an aid, but decide not to take it away just yet, maybe waiting until he asks you. Your glance switches to Voltir, where your shield failed to stop one of those strange devices that one of the goblins is throwing. Then you see Ragnar, who did not even need your shield, easily crushing the skulls of goblins and gnomes alike with his claymore. Mesmerized by his fighting, you only notice the gnome charging at you just in time, throwing up a ball of water and wrapping it around the gnomes face. For a moment the gnome looks confused, but then rage crosses it's face as it realizes what you have done. Knowing that all you have to do is survive this fight to win, you ready your staff.

Damage roll: Gnome dagger(2d2,x3)=2(x3=6),1=7

The gnome charges at you and you swing your staff at its head, but the creature proves to be quicker than you expected, it jumped and grabbed onto the end of your staff, but before you realize what it had done, the gnome jumped off the staff and at your torso. As the sharp pain of the dagger drives into you, you are sadden to find that your scales offer no more protection than human skin in the face of blades. Grabbing the gnome and throwing him off, you see him struggling to get up, clearly for lack of air.

Warily watching the drowning goblin convulsing on the ground in front of you, you attempt to imbue your water with healing powers. Focusing on what you know of water magic, you create some water and place it over your would, all the while imagining your wound closing shut under the thin watery film. Examining your handiwork, you see only smooth unbroken skin where there were cuts.

Responding to Voltir's thanks, you yell out. "No problem. Just remember me in turn next time." Spotting the Gnome captain closeby, you think about engaging in combat on seeing how weak he looks, but think better of it. Instead you conjure a large piece of fabric over top of him, hoping to suffocate him as well, or at least immobilize him. It falls perfectly into place, trapping the creature under fabric too heavy for him to lift out of.

Turning to face the last standing Gnome, you find him impaled on Nezak's Longsword. You instead settle with (1d2=2,Gnome 1) finishing off the drowning gnome. Conjuring two daggers, because for some reason you don't want to face the drowning gnome up close, you throw them at the beast.

Scene Change: Perspective of Ash

Now that the battle has been won, you all begin to go through the usual looting of the battlefield. Reaching for a gnome's dagger to examine it, you hear Ragnar's voice.

"You won't want to be keeping that, the gnomes and goblins in this place make weapons specifically for their size, in anyone else's hands, they are useless. Let's get a move on, this battle took long enough."

Falling in behind Ragnar, you begin to trudge through the forest behind him.

You all walk for some time, managing to avoid contact with any other gnomes or goblins until you finally came upon the bridge.

"And here we will cross the river." said Ragnar as he walked to the bridge, suddenly stopping. Then he turned around and knelt to the ground, examining something. "There has to be a grotto nearby, perhaps it will go under the river." he muttered to himself.

"What are you doing, Ragnar? Can we not simply cross the bridge?" you ask.

"The bridge is out, we have to find another way." Ragnar responds sharply.

Walking over the where it stand, you see for yourself that it is true, the wood had clearly rotted and fallen through some time ago. "You said there might be a grotto nearby, do you happen to mean where the goblins live?"

"Aye, they're scattered all over this forest, the goblins burrow underground and the Gnomes dwell in the trees. If we are lucky, the one nearby goes under the river and out the other side. Follow me." he says, clearly having got a lead from the footprints.

It isn't long before you are all looking out at a hollow stump, unremarkable but for the fact that two goblins stand guard. Without a word of warning, Ragnar charges out of the brush and slays the creatures before they can move to defend themselves. "It's right here." he says, pointing with his claymore into the stump, where a metal ladder descends into the earth.

Climbing down after Ragnar, you find yourself in a room with a metal roof, floor and walls, with a closed door on each of the walls. Ragnar mutters something incomprehinsible and quickly climbs back up, finding that odd, you follow him back.

Emerging from the stump your find Ragnar furiously searching the two goblins corpses. Finding the strips of paper that he seemed to be looking for he heads back down.

"What's that supposed be?" you ask.

"A map. Clever little creatures these goblins, the place under there is a maze. Clearly they assign sections to the guards to patrol." he says, waving the paper in his hand.

Re-entering the room, you notice a wooden desk in the center that your gaze seems to have skipped over before. Ragnar rushes up and puts the two scraps of paper on the desk. "It looks like the goblins each patrol three different areas, we are going to need to find more maps to help us get out."

*You can split up, but try to stay in groups of three (Ragnar can follow the smaller group)
*You can move through three rooms per turn, with a minor in each room.(Combat ends your movement)

"We could split up to cover ground faster." suggests Ragnar.

"And if we run into more goblins than a small group can handle, what then Ragnar?" says Raspin as he examines the map."I think left is the best course of action for us."

"Left seems good to me." Voltir says simply.

"But if we split up," says Amina, pointing at the map as if to emphasize her point."We can get through faster, and possible find some good loot. I do want to go left though."

"I'm all for finding more loot." says Nezak with a wicked grin. "I'll go with the smaller group."

"Then I suppose we are splitting up, I will go with Nezak to the rooms on the right." says Ash.

"Very well, I will go right then." says Ragnar, heading off to the door.

You step through the first door on the right, and to your surprise you see a few piles of coins, and some items clearly taken from adventurers. You take one of the coin piles, which looks to be about fifty coins worth. Then you see a cloth robe, which seems to have some magical properties, your put it on for the time being and feel your magical abilities strengthened.

Pleased with your success, you rush on to the next room, and find some more coins, though less then before. "How many have died to fill these halls with so much gold." you wonder aloud as you stuff yet more gold into your purse. Beside the pile you notice a white stone, similar, but different to the one you saw Raspin pick up, you put it in your pocket for safekeeping until you can find out more.

Seeing the torchlight flicker off the glint of more coin, you once again run to the largest pile and stuff it in your coinpurse. Then your eyes pass over a dagger that looks like it would work well paired with your blade, you quickly strap it on to your belt and once again head into the next room.

A smile creeps onto your face as you see more coins, less than before but more than the first, you charge into the room, laughing as you take more coins with you.

You step into the room behind Amina and see her already rush in to pull coins off one of the tables, and grab a robe. Following her example with the coins, you take a pile yourself, though it looks a bit lighter than hers, perhaps only 30 coins. Most of the remaining items in the room don't look particularly useful, though you see an odd looking rock, something that you may be able to examine in full later, and put it in your pocket.

Following Amina into the next room, this one seems emptier than the last, without other objects, only small piles of coin, you take one, again feeling cheated by its weight before moving on to the next room.

This time you step into the room first, hoping to get your hands on some more treasure, instead you find a short little wrinkled green creature behind a table, bent over its work, who looks up at you blankly for a second before reacting. It grabs a strange looking weapon, a handheld object that looks to be crafted of mostly coils of wire to your eyes, and fires a blast from the weapon.

You then find a pair of leather gloves, and testing how they feel compared to your previous gloves, you find that your aim is improved with them on, although your healing powers feel diminished.

Trailing behind Raspin again as you step into the next room, you see a simply table with one pile of coins on it, the others clearly already taken by your gold hungry friends.

As you follow them into the next room your hear noises.
Being behind Raspin, you see him get flung out of the way by a blast from a strange weapon. Your eyes lock on to the goblin and you charge. As it looks at you, its eyes widen as it furiously spins a crank on its weapon. You attack while it seems unarmed.

Following behind Nezak, you see him take the largest pile of gold, leaving the two smaller ones for yourself and Ragnar. "Which pile do you want?" you ask, as he walks in behind you.

"I have no need for coin, nor whatever scraps these goblins hold here." he says simply.

"What man needs no coin?" you say with a laugh, but when you only get a blank stare from Ragnar, you turn away and take the coin piles. Then follow Nezak into the Next room.

Your mouth falls open of its own accord as you see yet more gold. "How much gold do these creatures have?" you wonder aloud. "There is more treasure than goblins down here."

"I wouldn't be so quick to judge." says Ragnar in response to your thoughts. "It is a long way from the entrance to the exit, and a lot can happen in that time. Your eapons will taste more than thier fill of goblin blood before we are done here."

In such a hurry are you to keep up with Nezak, you quickly grab the coins and move on, stopping when you hear Ragnar.

"Nice work Goldeneyes." he calls out. "There was a piece of the map here that you both missed, even though it was here in plain sight.

Stepping into the next room, you almost groan when you see more coins piled on a table.

"Why the sour look?" Ragnar asks. "Better gold than goblins. You won't be running into times like this often down here."

Nodding in agreement you take more coins off the table and take a look at the map piece Ragnar holds.

Roll(1)

You let out a roar, announcing to all around of your victory. You charge towards the corpse, meaning to kick it, while yelling. "Your magic gun cannot stand against the plain fact that IS Voltir!" On your way to teh corpse, you try to overturn the table, but are frustrated at finding it bolted to the ground. Deciding to make a show of your manliness, you decide to tear it out anyway, you grip onto it and pull. You are shocked, quite literally, when you discover that the table seems to have a defensive electric change running through it. The shock knocks you back and fazes you for a moment. Amina is looking at you as if you've gone mad, but you brush it off and decide to move onto the next room, Not realizing through your adrenaline rush that your body is failing you. You fall over and lay on the cold metal floor, unable to move.

Roll: (6)

"...uh... did Voltir just die?" you say to Raspin as he stands up off the ground. "I think we need to move on." you say, confused as to what just happened. "Before anything else happens." You walk over and check on Voltir, finding him only unconscious, you decide to heal him. Examining his armor, you see quite a few gashes and remove it, finding him terribly wounded beneath. "Why didn't he mention this." you mutter while conjuring up water to heal him with.

Successfully healing Voltir, he opens his eyes and roughly tries to get up off the ground. "Thanks." he says, as he tries to walk, only succeeding in stumbling and falling to the ground.

"I think you need to rest a little longer, but after that we need to go." you tell him, as he grumbles and sits down.

After some time, Voltir gets up and walks toward the door behind the goblins desk.

With you and Raspin following closely behind, you enter an empty room, with nothing good and nothing bad. At least there aren't any goblins in the room. you think to yourself, trying to make positive light of the situation.

Confused as to what just happened to Voltir, Amina quietly says something that you can't quite catch, then walks over to Voltir.
You wonder to yourself if he just died, but when Amina begins to heal him, you know he survived. You watch him get up and try to walk, only to stumble and fall.

"Great, we have to wait in this room even longer." you mutter, not feeling in the mood to do anything at all.

Finally Voltir gets up and walks into the next room, with you following closely behind. You look past him into the room and find nothing. The place is empty.

"What kind of useless room is this?" Voltir yells.

"Maybe its trapped." you say, half jokingly, but you notice him walking cautiously walking around the room, not walking to get caught by another one of the goblins tricks.

Opening your eyes, you see Amina sitting above you. What is she doing? you think, them look down and see how terribly wounded you are. How did I not notice that?

"Thanks" you mutter when she finishes, trying to stand up. You can but the pain is difficult to bear, and adding a few more steps to the mix proves too much to handle when you fall down. You somehow manage to find comfort resting on the hard floor, finding it much nicer than standing.

You get up after a time, feeling much better and deciding that you can move on to the next room. You roughly push the door open and step into the next room, finding nothing but a doorway across the room. "What kind of useless room is this?" you yell.

"Maybe its trapped." says Raspin.

Those words make you look warily around, not walking to get another blast of whatever was running through that desk.

If the wound is healing okay by itself, create another water shield for everyone.

Roll: ( 5 )

Seeing Voltir leaning against a wall, you ask to check his wound. He grunts, which you can only assume meant "Go ahead." Deciding that it needs more healing, you conjure up water and imbue it with healing properties. It floats back and forth over his wounds, closing the worst of the bunch up. "That's all I can do for now." you say, stepping away and letting him go into the next room.

Following behind Raspin, who was behind Voltir, you find a room without any special items, but with a bit of gold. You manage to work out that everyone will get about twenty coins and then move on.

You enter the next room and find a prison cell holding three people captive. One of them is unmoving in the corner, but the other two look up at your entry. The room has a few dim candles in it but otherwise nothing of note. You cannot even seem to spot a keyhole or a padlock anywhere.

Damage roll: Nezak's Longsword(1d10,x2),Fine Dagger (1d6,x2)=5,4= 9

Fueled by rage from what the goblin did to your arm, you rip through his defenses and kick him to the ground. As the creatures stares up at you, you drive your sword down into its chest, but to you surprise the creatures seems to still be breathing, if barely. You cut his throat with your dagger and pull yourself up. "Let's get moving." you grumble as you head through the door to your left.

You enter the door and see a single skinny goblin bent over an object that it clearly created on its own. You charge the goblin, ready to kick it down like you did with the last goblin. The creature turns around, shocked at seeing humans in the grotto, and is shocked for a moment, but that quickly wears off and the creature brandishes its weapon. It looks similar to your Grenades that you took from the goblin commander, but some features are different. It seems larger and has a handle.

The Goblin rolls his firebomb across the floor, but he didn't count on your agility. You evade the bomb and it rolls past you, thankfully crashing into a wall and not your companions. The Bomb explodes in a blast, melting through some of the iron wall behind you. The goblin runs off to grab another one of his two remaining from the corner, but you manage to cut him off, and his head as well. "I'm sick of running into these beasts. Someone else can go first." you mutter angrily.

Ash takes your offer, heading down the next door into a room. You follow behind see the glint of gold once again, you and Ash split the coins, and then move on to the item you spotted. A very nice looking dagger sits on one of the tables. You walk over and take it, noticing the leather grip and the fine quality of the blade, you take it for yourself. Glancing around, you notice that there are no doors in this room, and Ragnar seems to have spotted it as well.

"We'll have to go back." He says, to which you and Ash agree.

Entering the room, you find a nice pile of gold awaiting you. You quickly take it and move on.

You stumble into the dim room and trip, falling on top of the table and giving your head a good knock. You get up and jump back at seeing three people trapped behind a set of iron bars, with no noticeable exit. At first, with the shadows playing tricks, you feared that they were Nezak, Ash and Ragnar, but these people look nothing like your companions.

The pain of your leg has you leaning against a wall, and it seems Amina notices, because she came running over.

"Would you like me to look at your leg?" she asks.

"Sure, go ahead." you reply, soon feeling the cool touch of water over your wounds.

As soon as it finishes, you get up and move through the next door, coming to a room stacked with even piles of gold and nothing else. You take one set of coins, and continue on to the next room.

There are a few candles lit in the room, but the main thing you notice are the thick iron bars, holding three people behind them.

You turn to Nezak and see his goblin still fighting, but just as you are about to help, Nezak delivers a powerful kick to the goblin's face. Not leaving much time in between, he quickly kills the creature and moves on to the next room.

Again you seem to miss a fight, as you and Ragnar enter, Nezak jumps out of the way of a rolling black ball that comes too close for comfort to you and explodes in fire. You look in shock at what the ball did to the iron wall, and when you turn back Nezak has killed another goblin.

"I'm sick of running into these beasts. Someone else can go first." he mutters, sounding understandably angry, the beasts are all over this place.

You take that opportunity to go in ahead of Nezak and find another room with gold. Calculating the rounded average percent of 50 and 33.3, you get the number 42. Then you take 42% of the gold in this room, which turns out to be an easy 42 coins. You spot a pair of leather gloves, with some iron scales attached to parts. Remembering that you don't have any gloves, you take these.

Amina(Malregima)

Action: minor: examine the prisoners
major: if they look hostile, ignore and continue to examine the room for anything useful
if they look harmless, try to find the key to free them
if they look harmless and cannot find key, try to use water to erode the bars' hinges.

Roll: ( - )

You walk up to examine the strange prisoners through the bars, unable to fully examine them in the darkness near the back of the cell where they dwell. You think there is a man and a woman, but the unmoving one in the corner is too well hidden to make a good guess.

Voltir steps up the bars and quickly stretches his muscles. "Raspin, help me pull these open with some of your iron magic."

"Are you sure you want to do that?" you ask. "Last time you touched something the goblins made, you almost died."

Voltir laughs heartily. "There is already no lock, what more protection do goblins need for prisoners?" He grabs hold of the bars as Raspin tries to make the connection from Iron conjuring to Iron manipulation. Yanking on it with all his strength, the bar snaps of and Voltir flies back, through his own force this time, and not some goblin creation. "Haha, what did I tell you?" he says, holding the bar triumphantly.

You notice movement in the cell as the two people within slip through the space left by the broken bar.

"Thank you," says the woman, taking off the hood of her cloak and revealing and elf with tan skin,blue eyes and long red hair. "I don't know why you sacrificed yourselves for us, but thank you."

"Sacrifice?" asks Voltir, eyes widening. He lets go of his hold on the bar. "I didn't sacrifice anything, I just broke the bar."

Now the man spoke, also removing his hood and revealing a human face with sparse freckles dotting it, along with brown eyes, wavy red hair."You didn't know then? I'm sorry for you." After receiving questioning looks from Amina, Raspin and Voltir, he continued. "The prisoners trapped inside can be freed, but breaking the bars binds you to the prison. We made that mistake nearly a month ago now. The goblins will feed you, if only to let others be trapped."

"Why didn't you warn us!" Yelled Raspin.

"Because I wanted to be free." The man answered simply.

"So we're all just stuck here until someone wanders along?" you ask. "We don't seem to be stuck."

"You aren't, they are." said the woman, "They won't be able to get through the doors, and when they step into the prison it will shut behind them."

"But what about your friend?" You ask, gesturing to the man still in the cell.

The man casts a wary glance back at him. "I think he's dead. He hasn't moved in all the time we've been here."

"Alright then." said Voltir, Drawing his sword. "If you don't leave, then we should go free."

The man backed away to the door. "That won't work, you'll only hurt yourself. And you might want to step in through the bars, or the food won't be sent." He turned away and opened the door. "Come on, Aenkidu."

Voltir rushed after them, but open door would not let him pass through some strange force. Voltir's face contorted with rage at being helpless, but then the look faded and he lowered his head, walking through the bars, followed shortly by Raspin.

Raspin turned back to you. "Well? Get going Amina. You can't just wait here for someone else to come along. Find the others, maybe you can journey with those two for a time. We know where you're headed, as soon as we get out we will try to catch up."

You still waited for a moment, hesitant at leaving these people after only learning to trust them a short time ago, but Raspins voice sent you on your way as you rushed to catch up to the two who had escaped.

They were still in the next room, gathering up their lost possessions it would seem.
"So you decided to follow us." said the elf, Aenkidu.

"I don't really have much choice, there's strength in numbers." you say, wanting to get out as much as these people clearly do.

The man walks over and offers his hand. "Well then, I'm Rulyon." he says with a charming, slightly lopsided smile. "And thats Aenkidu."

You hesitantly shake Rulyon's hand. "I have friends that went the other way, when we join up perhaps we could work together to get out of here.

"Sounds great to me," shouts Aenkidu from across the room. "But we've got to get moving, I don't want to spend any more time in this pit."
