He pulls back with Blackthorn at his side as the two take in the room. There is a glowing blue portal in the center of the floor. There are two statues of stern looking woodsmen holding out old wooden lanterns. Each lantern is lit with a small flame in its heart. The room itself is not much bigger then the room the two are standing in. ********************************* Duncan, Daniel and Alain stand at the top of the second floor stairway waiting to see if anything jumps out at the two fighters. ******************************** Khord watches as the two fighters bust in the door. If they head off into the room he will lose sight of them. Movement to his left draws his attention. Looking in the window he sees a second portal that glows red, not blue, set into the floor three steps. A man, who�s appearance is obscured by the long dark blue robe that he wears with its hood up, holds a dagger in one hand and in the other is a young human woman. She is crying and looks petrified. There are two orcs wearing the same blue robes standing by the door. ***************** End Of Article ****************** Blackthorn posted Message 11251 Dated : November 14, 2002 at 18:29 GMT Subject: Re: The Portal "Well, are you thinking what I am thinking?"

But are there any hidden or secret doors elsewhere in the room? I will only enter this portal as a last resort. Spread out and let's search for an alternate passage..." as an after thought he adds, "Please." Utar then sticks his head out of the door and announces to the others lagging behind, "Hurry up there! We need your assistance. We have found a magic portal!" Aside to Blackthorn he says, "That should get the attention of all those cowardly magic users in this group. Maybe they can tell us where this goes or if it's safe to enter." Utar then begins a thorough search of the room in an attempt to locate a secret or hidden door in the room, feeling for air flows, light coming through a crack, the sound of footfalls on the opposite side of the wall. Failing the finding of any such passage, Utar then lets the dwarf know his feelings on letting the situation stand until the others can catch up. "I think we should wait here until the others catch up." --Utar ***************** End Of Article ****************** Alain posted Message 11253 Dated : November 15, 2002 at 03:25 GMT Subject: Re: The Portal Alain walks up to Daniel and Duncan, giving them a brief cursory look.

Whether you are here to destroy the evil at its core or simply to loot the place doesn't concern me. I will travel with your group for a time, at least until we get to the bottom of whatever is causing this foul taint upon the land. " Alain seems to look past Duncan, over is shoulder at what is happening in the room. "Your friend in there wants your attention I believe. The way he is waving his hands about its either very important, or he is still on fire."

Blackthorn crosses the room with strong purposeful strides raising his axe to cleave the man in two. His swing finds its mark and the man is thrown to the ground by the blow. The woman, now free of the man's grip, collapses into trembling heap. at Blackthorn's feet. Utar attacks the orcs swinging once at each. The first blow is a little weak, but the second falls the orc. Khord sends the remaining orc crashing to the ground. Daniel he draws the hood of his cloak over his head and fades into the woodwork. (OOC: What are you doing? If you want it all hush hush, e-mail me.) Alain feels a little left out as no one talked to him and chose to attack the man and his two orcs. He stands in the other room hearing the combat in the next room. Duncan shakes his head at his head strong companions. He stays where his is as the two fighters seem to have everything under control. The man appears stunned. He finds getting to his feet difficult as he retreats backwards towards door out of the room. He is mumbling something under his breath.

And nothing is destroying the land. The land is unfertile do to the poral. There are many fine scholars looking to solve that problem as we speek." At questions about the owner Robb laughs, and you are sure it is at you. "Why Lord Mallus owns this land and this castle. Oh that?"He looks toward the window. "That was one of the guardian beasts. They protect the castle from any threats. "He sighs and straightens his robes."The blue portals allow movement between the floors here. That one leads to the third floor.

"May your death bring life to another." he quietly intones. He then turns his attention back to the girl, seeing if she has come out of her shock yet. ***************** End Of Article ****************** Alain posted Message 11299 Dated : December 11, 2002 at 22:21 GMT Subject: Re: err....ooops? Alain turns to stop Ardith before she leaves. "Ardith, perhaps you could answer a few questions for us. Tell us what you know about your Lord and this Castle. Perhaps we could speak to him. I know I have a few questions for him, I believe my companions do as well." ***************** End Of Article ****************** DM posted Message 11300 Dated : December 12, 2002 at 17:25 GMT Subject: Just a few Ardith nods, "I will answer what ever you ask, but please make it quick. I am sure that the other priests will return shortly." She speaks quickly and with wide eyes. She watches the door as she tries to position herself to run if need be. "I did not volunteer to be feed to the beast. I was chosen. I could not refuse the will of the Lord. It would have meant dishonoring my family. Also, the beast must be appeased or it will destroy our world." She looks to each of the adventuring party around her. "I am a simple girl and have no means to pay you, but just my thanks and that if we ever met again I will always remember today." ***************** End Of Article ****************** DM posted Message 11301 Dated : December 12, 2002 at 17:38 GMT Subject: Re: The Lass OOC: I think that was ok on your part to move the Knight off stage. If the player pops up in the next few days he can easly rejoin the game. Smart thinking. Also, if anyone knows a person looking for a game, send them my way. I would like to add an other fighter.

If the other priests return we can tell them that he valiantly sacrificed himself, so that you would not have too. Afterall he is not likely to dispute you." Alain looks at the rest of the party for a moment trying to see if they agree with him, before continuing. "Maybe you could tell us a bit more about this keep, while your still here. Is it your Lord's Keep? Or does he live elsewhere. Is there more of those guardian beasts that we saw briefly outside the window, or just the one? How many priests or other guards did you see when you were brought here? Are they likely to be more friendly?" when Alain finishes his questions he waits patiently for Ardith's response, hoping she stay's long enough to answer some of his questions. ***************** End Of Article ****************** Utar the Willing posted Message 11304 Dated : December 12, 2002 at 22:25 GMT Subject: OOC: Roger-Wilco Daniel-san OOC: Thanks!

"I will tell you what I know. The beast came to your land over 20 years ago. At first the Lord at that time, Lord Halvic, tired to get rid of it. He brought people from all over to try to close the portal that appeared. But when the new Lord came to power after Halvic's death, things changed. He said that we should use the beast to strengthen our kingdom. The priests of the castle started to fallow the words of the beast in exchange for the lending of its power to your Knights. That is how our Kingdom became as large as it is today. Though within the last two years the beast has changed its demands and now calls for the sacrifices of women to the portal. We have lost many fine people from this. The good Lady Airabeth was lost to the portal not last month." She pauses realizing that she is babbling on. "The Lord does live here. His quarters are on the 4th floor. The guardians come from the portal on the 6th floor. Their numbers is unknown to me. I do not know how many priests there are. I saw 10 during my short stay here. I saw 5 guards. I don't know if they will like to see outsiders in the castle." Ardith stops talking as if she just remember something. "There is an other person like yourselves. She is in just the next room. She knew nothing about the Realm or the Lord or the beast for that matter. She is in the cage in the far back corner. Now I really must leave." She hurries out without another word and only glances back a moment as she starts down the stairs. ***************** End Of Article ****************** Blackthorn posted Message 11306 Dated : December 13, 2002 at 17:12 GMT Subject: Re: There is another "Someone else got messed up in all this...this crazynees?
