Hmph I dont paticularly care that suddenly summonig a demon out of the blue to do your bidding might not be a real spell ill do it anyway because this is just for fun. An illusion? no I intend to keep it for a while.

Jabidas moves to the rear end of the dragon which he decimated earlier, he pulls out his boneblade and begins to converse with it, telling it this is going to take a long time, the sorrcerer promptly begins to cut its tail off, he glances up when his demon returns, blood drenched on its maw and bits of flesh still stuck in its teeth he pauses only to tell it to stop howling. When asked does he need the tail for a spell or something he denies it and says he wants to hang it on the wall.

Silvara, jabidas mutters methinks I spot a dragonlance reference, people pause and he tells them dont worry its a strange and terrible story best not told while the black moon remains in the sky. Oh sure its not like we were going to stop you, youve been by here before havnt you.

When you ask for a rib, Slaughter Margin and the Black Knight both give a monumental HEAVE and the thing cracks! It is huge

BTW, Tancred needed the dragon for something. I shall take it as read that whatever he needed is done as we should move shortly

The collapsed tunnel is a nuisance, but there is a shaft above where the dragon flew in and out, so air isn't a problem. Getting here was a nuisance, but simple teleportation magics would return the chars to the inn

Back at the inn, everybody stumbles inside, quite weary. Skydrac has recovered. There is a big banner saying "Welcome back, guys" and a huge layout of drinks and food. Fortuna embraces Melusine fondly, Lord Shield waddles over to help people in. He has been looking after Karnas in the meantime

OOC: Ash, if the villains try anything in the bar they will regret it - not even the Gods can fight Lord Shield and Fortuna (Lord Thought) - I doubt you planned to anyway , though

The villains get the huge dragon rib over. Lord Shield looks at Celestial Fury. "Don't worry, lads, this one's on me - you can save the rib for later" - he takes both pieces of the Katana and places them together. There is a grinding sound as of a dimension tearing. His eyes blaze electrically and white beams blaze to the snap in the blade. The light is blinding. After he has finished, Celestial Fury is whole and Lord Raptor is one VERY happy chicken

OOC: The light was for show, he was using his strength to reform the blade

OOC: I was afraid of this.

Sorry I've been gone for so long - had to get the computer fixed, and when it was the forums had gone down. The quest seems to have gone a bit awry.
The initial aim was to rebless the sword Tancred carries. It lost its' powers when the Netherese tinkered with it, destroying the blessing and releasing Karnas. As it was initially blessed by Helm when Tancred's ancestor Truori slew a Dragon single-handed, Tancred reckoned he could get it blessed again by doing the same thing. Without the blessing, it cannot hold Karnas' spirit. Unfortunately, as Tancred had no part in the slaing of the dragon, the quest is a complete failure in his eyes. No-one's fault except my own, I guess, and I'm gonna have to write my way out of it now. Bear with me.


IC: Shouldered aside in the initial rush as the entire party charged at the dragon, Tancred regained consciousness shortly after Tunjuk's death, aghast at what he saw. The party had killed Tunjuk, and a glance at his side confimed Tancred's fear; his family's sword remained defiantly unmagical.

The Cavalier sits down on a rock, shock begining to kick in. His hopes, his plan - hadn't worked. The rest of the party crowd around him, cheering and backslapping, handing him the Dragon's heart. Tancred stares at the bloody thing, wondering what to do with it.

He has journeyed back to the bar in a subdued mood, and feels very uncomfortable about the party. He doesn't drink anything, and stays away from Karnas, hoping the mage is too delerious to notice the arrival of the party. He sits down in a chair dejected, letting out a huge, world-weary sigh.
"What in Helm's name do I do now?" he wonders aloud.

OOC: Hm.. you left when I got back.. So we battled Ace's character's, Delphie died, the other two joined us, and we fought the dragon. Tancred didn't participate in the slaying, so his sword was not once more blessed. Now (hopefully), he will travel to Evermeet to slay one by himself.

OOC: About time the forum was back up.. I went on vacation and when I got back I was astonished to find that the forums weren't back up yet.
IC: Rhazor glances over to Tancred. *Something isn't right here* he thinks to himself.. Tancred pulls his head up to find Rhazor standing next to him. "It didn't work.. did it?" the elf seems to peer into the Cavalier's mind. "Tales tell of an evil Shadow Dragon in a cave near my home in Evermeet, the dragon's name is Vhaju.." The elf pulls something out of one of his backpockets. Handing Tancred what seems to be a coin of gold, Rhazor says, "Take this to Evermeet, it is my heirloom. My people will know what to do."

OOC- I actually took the time to read all those posts, so this is what I'd gathered... according to Ace,a looong while back, Delphie isn't dead, that wuz her "shadow" that was killed... Skye got healed (*yay! thanx! ^_^* ).... Karnas wasn't "fixed", which could be a problem... I missed out on lots of kewl battles (*wah*)... we're back to the bar, and we're probably gonna go fix some magical weapon. Did I cover all of it? Oh, and I have to go give Grinch a friendly smack on the head. Didja miss me? ^_^* heheh.

IC- Skye jumps up, revitalized. "Let's go do some more adventures!" she cries out, happily. The poeple who had just returned from the dragon all groan.
Ash- "Here we go again..." He promptly starts chasing Skye around the bar room, after her friendly thwack to the head.

^_^* Cheers!

Um I've been missing for a while, is Tiax still in the collar dungeon or has someone been controlling him? Oh where are we, on Titon?

I'm well confused after all this time - we're back in the tavern (currently on Titan) after completing the Dragon Quest

Link storms into the bar, his sword still drawn. Blood is dripping off his face and his sword, and he grins in an evil way. He smiles at Lord Shield who looks shocked. He wipes some of the blood of his face, and puts his sword on an untaken table.
"Have you got something to clean my sword with, Lord Shield?"
The bartender hurries off, and a few moments later he returns with an old towel. He throws it to the warrior, but doesn't get any closer.
"Thanks"
Link takes the towel and starts cleaning his sword. While cleaning he remembers the battle fought only minutes ago. He can still hear the screams of the terrified Lizard Men trying to evade the vicious blows of his sword. Waisted efford. No living creature is able to survive an encounter with him. He knows that.

His sword is clean. He carefully places it back sheath and throws the towel in the air. Mumbeling a few words, Link waves his hands in a patern, that only the trained eye could follow. Immediately the towel is set to fire and burns to ashes within a second. Everyone in the bar stares at the vicious warrior, but when he glares back, they all get back to the things they were dealing with before.
Link sits down on a chair and waves at the bartender.
"A forever ale"
After saying the three words Link puts his feet on the chair, and relaxes. He wants to think of nothing just now. He closes his eyes, and concentrates on getting rid of the thoughts in head. He hardly notices Lord Shield placing a mug on his table. But he notices. He can notice anything when fully concentrated. Some say it is like a sixth sense. It might even be the correct name for it. A sixth sense. Link knows better than that. It is far more than a sixth sense. Far more than that...

He opens his eyes again and looks around in the bar. Nothing unusual this time. He remembers old times, when you could expect some weird creature to step into the bar any minute. The old fights. Yes, he still knows. Times have changed, or have they? He takes the mug of the table and brings it to his mouth. Indeed times have changed. Since the death of Atuan, he has been different, in some way he can't explain. He does not know what exactly has happened to him.. yet. He will find out.
He places the mug bag on the table to take a look at the treasuries he stole from the Lizard Men. A few coins, an angelskin ring, and a strange stone. Nothing as usual. He should have known it. Lizard Men aren't the type of creatures that steal a lot of things. He should have gone for the group of Goblins he saw in the distance.
"Damn" he mutters, as he puts the things back in his bag. Before putting the stone away he takes a closer look. This object might turn out valuable after all. The red stone shivers in his hand when he holds it close to one of the candles in the bar. Runes. He hadn't noticed them before, but now he sees them clearly. He takes the stone out of the light, and immediately that runes disappear again. He holds the stone in the fainting light of the candle and the runes reappear. How strange.
While wondering what the stone could be, he feels something hot inside his hand. The stone is shivering in his hand and is glowing red hot. He places it on the table before it gets any hotter and looks at it. The heat seems to be intensifying because the table is smoking. Moments later the stone falls on the ground and a hole is revealed in the table.
"What the - " Link mutters. He stares around, but no one seems to have noticed what's happening just yet. Under the table the stone is sending out rays of red light, which are getting stronger each second. Suddenly the bar has noticed something odd is going on. They all stumble upon their feet, and walk closer to the red-glowing stone. Meanwhile, Link is watching the stone cautiously. He does not know what is going on, and that can't be good sign.
"What is going on here?" an old man asks Link
"I don't know" is the only answer he gets. Before the man can ask another question the light intesifies rapidly and everyone falls back on the floor. The stone is glowing so bright, that no one is able to see it anymore. Suddenly, the glowing stops.
"Is it over?"
"What happened?"
The people in the bar look scared, not knowing what exactly is going on. Link isn't one of them, although he doesn't know what is going on as well. Fear is a word unknown to him. He laughs in the face of danger. But is it danger he is facing now?
He gets back upon his feet, and walks to the place where the stone had been lying. Was lying, indeed, for now a black hole the size of a table is in the bar. Unearthly sounds seem to come forth from the hole. Link turns his head towards the bartender.
"Lord Shield? I think we have a situation here.."

------------------
In the foul darkness one figure will emerge to save the world from evil and despair.... Light flashes as his sword comes down, and thunder rolls through the sky when he points his sword up to heaven to signal his victory....People whisper his name as he walks by, evil tries to hide as they sense his presence nearby.... His name? Link......
