Think Tougher Kangaxx. [/QUOTE]Argh! That overloaded stumpy? It is a stain upon Imoen's Information!
"So, what was the most powerful thing you vanquished?"
"A Dwarf. Yeah... a really scary one, with beady eyes and an unkempt beard."

"Uh huh."
"Grave danger, Rena! They will stop at nothing!"
"So what's new?"
Suldanessellar, a grand hidden city of Elves. Now playing host to a party of adventurers lead by a Human female named, 'Rena Ryuuguu'. The situation. A gang of Bhaalspawns was leading a rampage throughout the Sword Coast, leaving behind a bloody trail of innocents in their relentless hunt for rival Bhaalspawns.
"Rena!", Elliseme said, in an almost wretched voice, "Are you not concerned about your life?"
"Concerned?
Con-cerned? For the past four years, or has it been longer, ever since I stepped foot out of Candlekeep, my life has been one big game of, "Let's try to kill Rena!". I ceased to be concerned long ago. I have accepted my fate. I am no longer going to sit back and let them come to me. Nope... not gonna do that. I am sick and tired of being their walking targetboard. No. I have decided, long ago. Jon Irenicus was the last straw. I am going to get them before they get me."
"Is that truly how you feel?"
"Yes."
"I do not share your sentiment, but I also do not know enough to question you. Per-perhaps the ancients might give you more to ponder upon. Will you accede to my request, Rena? I ask only that you listen to what the ancients might have to say, nothing more. What you do after that, it is up to you."
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to just listen. Very well, Elliseme. Lead on."

The Glade of the Ancients. A sacred plot of land known up till now, only to the Elves. Monolithic stone heads litter the glade, their eyes mysteriously shining blue.
"Let's see... just rub the cheek of one of the faces, she said."
"We Awake. Who Summons?", voices thundered. They spoke one after another, as though many, but united.
"Rena Ryuuguu, ward of Gorion. I-"
"We Know. It Has Been Foretold. One Of Many Prophesied Ones."
"Well, yeesh. If you knew who I was, why did you even-"
"Brief Or Verbose?"
"Come again?"
"Brief Or Verbose?"
"Well... I was kinda hoping not to get stuck here for too long, so I-"
"Screwed. Yes. So Screwed."
Silence.
"I... What in the Nine Hells is that supposed to mean? Is that it? Fine! What about the verbose version?"
"An Unfortunate Fate. You Are A Magnet For Hate. Blood Flows From Your Path. Countless Stricken From Your Wrath.

Your Anger Blinds You. It Darkens Your View. An Appetite For Death. Many Draw Their Last Breath.

"Hold one second there. How long is this going to take? Isn't there some middle ground between brief and verbose?"
"No. We Speak No More."
"What?! HEY! Don't you go silent on me now! Talk to me!" Rena shouted, as she bashed one of the faces with the hilt of her sword.
"Ow," was the only reply she got before the stone faces went silent for real.
"Graaaah!"

Coming up next, Rena's first ToB fight!
