Blood settled in rancid pools at the base of the gore soaked alter. A woman stood, chained befor it.. Her face streaked with tear and sadness. She stood within an ominous fortress, twisted, coated in flesh bone and indescribable thing most foul . A stench most indecent choked those who entered this evil city, the city of Perdition. Outside the fortress stood several adventurers� King Steven Dragonscale, His wife Queen Winnowill, Father Gentry and the Exalted Pyrogeny. Beckoned here by unexpected visions of suffering, a plea for rescue, a sudden and shocking turn to Winnowills long Quest to save the her mother that began countless many a year ago. Pressing on into the wicked fortress.. to find the woman chained and pleading for rescue� and when she hath seen the face of her very daughter.. And her daughter see hers� angels did weep at the heartfelt reunion that the Queen Winnowill had been waiting a lifetime for. Alas, the Reunion was short lived� for as they struggled to free her� the minions of chaos were closing in. The Exalted Pyrogeny felt a surge of evil pulse through him� his very form changing to a demon most dreadful � but the blood of one who follows Malorn burns hot and did keep the essence of evil from taking hold. And soon she was free� exhausted� she was taken hold and carried by Gentry as he followed the Queen Winnowill from the fortress. Pyrogeny and King Steven had engaged in battle with the chaos beasts in the Fortress.. Holding them back to allow escape. |
