For Andrion:
The skull sat motionless, yet one could almost discern a sneer on the old bones. He said: "You had better not be lying to me mage! A proper burial is what we have been waiting for! I have lost count on how long it's been! Well...the cave...let's see...what would interest you?...Hmmm....Ah yes...there is a Lamia guarding the doorway. She cast a spell on us and the next thing I know, she was chewing on my arm! hah! What ya think o' that! Let me tell you, it was no picnic for us! Hah! Picnic! That's a good one! Right,,,well...let's see...oh yes...down below, there are several traps. My fellow thieves and I disarmed most of the ones we found. Nothing was hard about it. We knew that we'd find a good treasure here somewhere. So we came prepared for the worst. It was actually alot easier than one would think. There were two doors, and the first one was unlocked...the second was locked but by magical means. This was down on the ...I think maybe the third floor. When we saw no way of opening the magical door, we decided that we'd check out the unlocked one, and boy did we hit it big! There was gold and jewels everywhere! I started stuffing my pockets, and my companions were doing the same. We got as much as we could, then started our trek out of this filthy dungeon. That is when Merlando started screaming. We turned around to see him holding a rock in his hand, and then he started emptying his pockets only to find more rocks! We looked into our pockets to find similar rocks. The gold and jewels had been an illusion set to the specific room we had come out of. We were so angry and mad...none of us even heard the woman approach. Then she started talking all sweet to us, and I am sure you know the rest of the story. That is all I can tell ya, Mage. Can I go now?" |

![]() For the Inquisitor: Marcos had been riding in concern that there was not much going on in this mad land of danger. However, after a while, his senses told him that indeed he was now being tracked by something that could hide itself well, and could not be heard, only felt by special means. It was lucky for the Inquisitor that he had the necessary sensory receptors to detect this dark predator. It was keeping a good distance. It appeared to be a natural at stalking prey. However, in the past hour, it had made no attempt to advance on its target.

Andrion Wilgor
"I only have one more question to ask you. Did you see any sign of a candle during your brief stay on the lower levels?" OOC: After the answer Andrion shall ask for Roderik's and Silt's help to bury the bones outside the cave. |

Liam
The tall man padded silently like a cat into view of the campfire, unnoticed until he cleared his throat politely. "It seems that I have missed much while I was away," he murmured. "I scouted norrthwarrd and then cirrcled back, to make surre we had no unwelcomed guests happen upon us. I came acrross a rratherr unusual sight. A being cast a spell on two animals and two humans, and they disappearred! And the darrk casterr appearred to be made frrom living shadow... I have no otherr way to explain it." The tall aristocratic man gracefully sat himself cross-legged on the ground and fixed his feral eyes on Larry, then KayLisa. "Perrhaps this crreaturre sounds familiarr? Orr is a minion of the darrk one?" ooc- Larry, where was the being sighted? Northward or Southward? And in my post I assumed it was night, because TAO mentioned the campfire... pmed you.

Candle Team:
"Candle? Er...no...no candle that I can recall. A bunch of torches will burst into light as you walk down the corridor of the third level, however. The light glows purple. Pretty torches. Spooked the hell outta us when they lit, but they do no harm. Now bury me!" |

OOC>>>Was South of where the party is now. Ruby and her companions were following us, and the Mage took them out of the game with a spell.
Larry 13/13 Larry shuddered involuntarily at the mention of the description the scout had given. It sounded like after the Shadow Mage left Tao to deal with Morgie, he had found and pestered others along the path on his way back to the tower in the South. Larry felt sorrow for those that had suffered the evil of the Mage, knowing that the Mage would not be in existance had he not borne him. He looked sadly at Tao, the only one that seemed to know him from both aspects. |

She looks at Liam, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully, then pats Larry's shoulder.
"Yes Liam, we know who it was. It was the Shadow Mage himself. Those poor creatures happened to be at the wrong place and time it seems. He probably took them to get over not getting Larry or I, being distracted as we were by Morg's sudden appearance and disappearance. Would you like some tea?" She leans back to grab another cup, and throws it to Liam. She thoughtfully stares into the fire, then whispers to Larry.. "Now what, Larry? You seem to have retrived what we came for... what do we do now?" She rolls a mysterious looking seed between her fingers, every once in awhile looking into the sky and smiling.... OOC: welcome back Sky!! ![]() [ 05-31-2004, 11:37 AM: Message edited by: TAOWolf ] |

Larry
"Now we head back to the Inn and see if the others are there, or wait for them to return with the candle. I can't imagine them being any longer than we took, unless they ran into more trouble than we did. I suggest we just get rest tonight and start in the morning. It'd be much too hard to travel at night and I am a bit exausted from the day's adventures. I think I'll turn in now. Good night everyone!" |

[i]Arcades' wide yawn is a definite sign of his agreement. After resuming his natural size, the dragon curls up and falls asleep soon after closing his eyes. The firelight creates quite a light show refracted off his scales, casting rainbows and phantoms along the trees and ground.
In the old dragon's unconcious mind, memories play over and over of the events in his youth. Particularly of a time when the Gold Dragon's lair was attacked swiftly and brutally by a combined force of Red and Black chromatic dragons. Arcades himself and a handful of others made their escape to start their own lair, and his memories have always tugged at the back of his mind, where he locked them away. |

She leans against Arcades, and shares his dreams, while also mingling her own with his..........
A lit up sky, the sky on fire as though the night suddenly bloomed with the light of the morning sun.... paladins ravaging the country side, black dragons blotting out the sun with their shear might of wings... massive explosions of an unknown chemical yet to be seen by the current residents of this realm.. flashback to the days of old, when she first met the windbringer.... Days of living in hiding with the gold dragons and first meeting Arcades... She rolls over in her sleep, unknowningly shifting to wolf form, and curls up next to Arcades, her tail wrapped around her nose... feeling safe.... then she feels the touch of the Shadow Mage.. she snarls in her sleep...
