Guy Gorgon's Story

((Darklancer, man.... I don't want to seem like a dick and I know I'm not the GM but could you be a little more descriptive? I don't have much to play off of here. I'm sorry if that's a mean thing to say but seriously.))

Guy continued celebrating with the other Knights of the order until late night. That's when the stomping began, nobody paid it any attention until they heard a growl and roar to. Guy shot up out of his seat, he quickly put his helmet on and grabbed hi shield, which were both on the ground beside him.

"We didn't want to hurt you. We just want you to die! C'mon guys! Time for another fight!"

Guy heard this and sighed. "Oh Crypt, one of these days." Guy said. Even Guy's thirst for killing demon's wasn't as strong as Crypt's. Guy always said one day that may get him hurt. Guy walked to where he heard the noises He then saw the demon. It was immense. 13 feet tall with horns of stone. This demon was living lava. It had rocks every where but the spaces between those rocks were pure molten rock. Guy had dealt with these before the Order called them Hell Fire Demons. Killing them was easy if you knew what to do. "Someone go get me some water." Guy said drawing up a plan in his head.

Someone quickly came back with the water, Crypt was distracting the demon, it was now blind. "Soak your weapons before you use them on him, or else they will have no effect." Guy said to some of the newer members of the order. Guy then charged The beast was stumbling with no sight it had little to rely on. Guy then saw it turn around it must have heard him coming. Guy did all he could at his height so he slashed at a portion of it's leg and lopped off a lump of rock and then some lava began to flow out of the wound.

Guy jumped back as the beast began to swing in his direction but with it blind it couldn't tell exactly where he was.

...Today the Sacred order of the Crusaders eliminated a Panther.
These heroes are...
Anton was writing down the acts of the day for the bards in his room.
It was the duty of the Lorekeeper to write down the killed demons....and reside exactly in front of the Holy Archivies of the Sacred Order of the Crusaders.
The room was medium sized: enough to store two bookcases tall nearly two meters,a bed,a table with the occur to write and various notebooks,a rack containing his armour and his halberd.
However when a newcomer enters in the Lorekeeper's room he tends to notice first the levitating crystal sphere near his table: this gemstone is white.
"It is an orb of Omniscence: it allows to us,mages,to track the presence of demons.....Unluckly it isn't that precise to say where" This is the definition of Anton.
The only difference is that he modificated it to sense the status of his companions.
Ringratiam Iddius....
As writing the last thanks Anton's sphere of Omniscence glowed: one of his companion engaged another demon.
He took a long breath: it was the first time after so many years that they appeared again....
He worn his blue armour and took his Halberd "Avenger" and casted a portal,giving to the portal dettail of his companion and saying the world "demon".
"Hmpf...Good way to start"By opening the portal he saw the Knight Guy and the assassin Crypt fighting a Huge demon: a Hell fire Demon.
He slowly entered in the portal charging his Halberd with energy of the Second element: water.

In the fields,that he recognized to be somewhere in the North,was hot: he saw a crusaders cut the leg of the beast off.
"Gorgon! Gorgon!" He shouted,running toward the knight.
He looked at the demon and noticed two blades that were blinding the demon.
"Crypt....well allow me to".
With an esclamation he summoned a blue rune: He never liked beign an Hydromancer....but it was necessary.
Here the circles of the seal started to move,fixing themselves,drawing additional words.
Finally after five seconds of preparation the seal released a burst of water.
The impact with the Demon provoked vapour as the beast screamed in pain.
After two seconds the burst of water ended....Anton was exausted but happy for his work
"Again magic helped me....Ringraziando Iddio".
Lastly he took out his notebook and wrote the acts.

"Well done Keeper.Long time no see"
As Gorgon pronounced that sentence Anton shut down the book immediatly pretending to be angry and serious.
As he turned he said with a suprise tone:"Gorgon! Ever thinked to fix your snakes?" He said smirking and shaking his hand.
Gorgon....Gorgon was one of his best friends: he is a great knight,borned to rule,trained to fight and protect thus who needs him.
Apart all these feats that a knight requires Gorgon is also skilled,master,at raising the morale of his fellow crusaders with jokes: yes,Anton like jokes,except while working.
After the classic salutes he looked at the other crusaders:"Well done my companions! Today we did yet few kills,but huge progresses to understand how to defeat these vile beasts! Bards will sing our actions for centuries! Do not exitate to vain these action and empty barrel of ales today! We saved the God's work from this Burning goat!".
He said smiling at the part of the Burning goats: He considers demons goats for their horns and some for their legs.
Then he asked to Gorgon:"Pardon almighty Crusader: I saw Crypt's Dagger.....unless he's under the back of the Hell fire demon ask him to take out his knives before they became Excaliburs"
Then he walked around the wood to see the damage dealt by the beast and puryfing them as best as he can: the priest should see if the wood was tainted but awaiting the priests and all the process the wood would be already dying.
By his skill he determinated that the decaying wood is where they fought the beast.

"That could have been much worse."
Anton continued walking not even looking at Guy:"You think? I say that we are already in the Tenth circle of Inferno: You know what I mean.....Alighieri's Divine Commedy....forgive it" He laughed "Hell fire demons doesn't appears like cats or dogs....I have a bad feeling Guy....I fear another Invasion...."He slowed down his walk and looked down.
The last time he fought a Large scale invasion was nearly a thousand year ago: when the red comet surged the skies of the eleventh century an horde of demon appeared and afflicted the people with diseases,strifes and famine....like the Medieval men thought: the Apocalypse of the 1000.
As they walked he noticed that part of the horn wasn't turning into dust: He decided to see how resilient it was by infusing some energy: the horn broke only when Anton released a particle of light: even if it was not more than two centimeters wide it blowed great part of the horn.
"Here's a way to eliminate demonic remains".This was his first idea.
At last he took out his vial and stored the dust of the horn.
"Ah....Just thinking that I will have to battle these abominations for an Eternity I'm feeling already bad....we must advise the Grand Crusader....your friend Lance Volkrag Issaiah.Tell him that the "Stupid" Nostradamus was right,even if he missed twelve years..."Anton never liked thus who tries to break the cycle by seeing what lies ahead...Except Nostradamus: he was a born Prophet,useful tool to set the The Circle of the Ancients,a "secret" order of mages where Anton was the third Grand Master,aware of any assaults or simply events.
After casting for somewhat like three seconds he summoned a portal,indicating the name of the Grand Crusader.
He then waved in the direction of the portal kneeling aside it.
"Ladies first" He said while smiling at Guy.
That's because Medusa was the youngest of three sisters and the only mortal Gorgon.

Anton exisitated a bit: He preapared an improvvisation to advise the Grand Crusader.
Now he entered in the Church of Archangel,residence of the Paladin Volkrag Lance Issaiah.
The Church's structure followed the form of a Latin Cross,made by the fusion of Gothic and Baroque: it could be compared with San Pietro,one of the greatest buildings of mankind.
He saw Gorgon lying on a wall with the Priest Emilie.
Emilie was one of the few priests Anton knew: even if he wask monk,then priest,he met only a few of them,since he passed most of his time by reading,studying and again reading.
She's an hybrid of Light and Beauty:Her hairs are white,for thus who doesn't dare to stare at the light,but her hairs are of a light blonde.
She was asking to Guy if he was wounded: ahead there was the Altar made of stone,with golden burdens decorated with famous episodes of the Bible.
"Priest,knight,Grand Paladin...." He said looking at the fabolous altar turned in a table with a chair behind it.
"Am here,as duty of the Mage, to advise you about as danger....Before the eath Nostradamus left us a prophecy....The Mages considerated this,but we thought that he was wrong,a first time....but WE was wrong: I fear another large scale invasion....the Hell fire demon we saw and fought is a demonstration....am here to advise you Grand Crusader this....how shall we act?"
Anton spoke with a little melanchony in his voice and made many pauses to think how to announce the event.

Anton spoke with a little melanchony in his voice and made many pauses to think how to announce the event.
(Double post)

Anton sat on the bench,thinking....
"Another invasion....and yet I fear very soon....will we have the time to get ready?
He was watching at the white floor,made of pure marble,wondering how to push away this horde.
In all his carrier he fought two hordes of Demons,even with losses they alway made it
"I think that to defeat this invasion,firstly we have to reunite the platoons: Subside them in legions and keep the calm....this world is going to become a war field....what are we going to do with the Humans?".
Anton said looking at the Altar,impatient: He had to admit that it was hard to keep the boiling spirits cool.
After his other companions expressed their opinion he stood up and said that he had to preapare his weapons and that he will contact them if he found any new methods to defeat these vile beasts.
"...Not even the Order of the mages is ready for such tragedy....".He was ampliating what was wrote,and after that, he went to the Circle,to inform the followers of the problem.The Order meets in a Cathedral,far from the Church of Arch Angel: The Cathedral of Holy Knowledge,is the name.
It follows the form of a Latin cross and it is built with Baroque designs.
On the roof there are many vaults,filled with draws and gold.
It's glasses are made of various colours,representing scenes of battles against the demons.
At day the Cathedral is magnificent,but at night....it becomes the perfect place for secret meeting.
During all the session they spoke in an unknow language,known by them as "Deanatian": it is a code used by the mages of the Circle to communicate,also with messages.There is also an higher "Deanatian" used to rituals,also for the sacred ones.
"My brethrens...." The Lorekeeper said in front of the Altar "The Dark times are coming once again affermating what was told to us: I will join the war,fight for the light,and for thus who require aid" Anton ended his presentation lowering his arms.
"You do not understand Sénechau! There can't be another invasion!" It was the voice of Malkrag,the Fourth Sénechau of the Circle.
"I fear he is right Malkrag: The Hellfire demon explains everything...And yes Sénechau Anton: I will join the war.It was the Grand Sénechau,Daren,master of the four elements and Loremaster of the Circle: he was who leads the ritual and accept the Apprentices.
"Yet we can't fight alone! The other Organisations must be informed! It will take weeks if not Months! Malkrag said dropping his fists on a wooden table.
"Dear Sénechau Malkrag....you forget that we own an "Evangelist....we will use that...." The "Evangelist is a relic,made of silver and covered with rubins.Every Circle that is respectable owns an "Evangelist": it allows to send messages from the "Evangelist" to another.
The message is as quick as the light,if the words utilized to compose the words are short and not more than five.
Additionally the "Evangelist" messages can't be sent with lies: it's meaning is one and no need to interpretate.
Here,the Sénechaux whispered the words: Demon.Invasion.help.
After that Malkrag said:"Alright you coinvinced me Sénechau! I will join the war!"
"I will join....the war!" An apprentice said followed by a chorus.
After this discussion the ritual began with the Angelus and ended with the Ode to Earth.

[Ignore this, I posted on Earth.]

Luna appeared on the bench from seemingly nowhere. It was hard to tell how long she had been there. Her eyes flickered, the way they did, and then darted from person to person, absorbing the scene. Guy's leg was the first thing she noticed.

"Sorry, seems I missed the party." her tone was casual, but changed quickly; it became dripping. Those who knew her, the Crusaders, could tell this was a sign of curiosity. "We said something about a demon invasion, did we?"

Well, if an invasion really was on their tail, keeping humans alive would be more than difficult. Unless, of course, they were quick. It was all about being quick in a war. The strongest human would not best the fastest- he would never even catch him. They'd need a decision made about their battle plan and they'd need one soon.

(Note: This post and words come BEFORE the meeting with the members of the Circle)
As Guy looked at Anton he answered the look:"Lucifer....became the Lord of the Infernal circles for his vanity and his excessive security....we shall not commit the same mistake Guy....we have to evaluate the situation: first we save the world and then MAYBE we purge that Dark entity" Anton said with a serious tone.
"Well...cleared this am ready to answer more questions" He said looking at his companions.

The next day Anton woke up calmly and took a few seconds to recognize if the last day was a dream or reality.
Particullary he felt bad about the idea to siege Hell: it was a suicide mission,not only....it was useless,to pass ten circles of sins and then the last to be punished.
He took a long breath,and then got dressed.He passed all the morning writing notes,and in a secret tome the results of the secret meeting.
Impatient,he decided to visit the market,particullary the shop of Medea.
This shop was known to alchemist,but also mages: Medea is one of the most mysterious member of the Ancient Crusaders.
For more than one time she refused to join battles.
Despite all of this,she is a mage with excellent elemental knowledge and also a pretty good brewer.
Walking around Anton noticed various stalls: from vegetable to crossbows.
The market was,usually a place where to meet old friends or even business meeting in the various taverns.
However in that young afternoon he noticed more silence than the other days.
The Shop of Medea,called "The Forest of Runes" is situated at the end of the Market,near the castle of the Blade master.
When he arrived he looked up,at the towers of the Castle.
"I wonder if our knight is passing some time with the Blade Master Anton was thinking by looking at the gates.
Here was the "Forest of Runes": He wondered if Medea was in the shop.
There was no door,but a veil of stones that separates the jungle of the shop from the lands of the Crusaders.
He looked inside...without his suprise he saw trees,flowers and even heard some screams of monkeys ahead.
He smiled and searched for Medea.
"Medea? Medea! I need some oils!" Anton actually screamed.
From nowhere a voice answered:"Anton! Since when you didn't visited me?".It was Medea,somewhere in that magic forest.
"Which kind of oils my dear?" Medea asked.
"Cooking oils....you didn't hear the news?"
Suddenly a thin arrow broke the immobility.Just before it could hit Anton's right shoulder his arcane forces stopped it.
Medea laughed.From a nearby tree Anton saw a figure moving: He laughed."Medea are you going to lose the habit to kill your customers or..." Just before he could finish the sentence anothen thin arrow passed the air,and again got blocked by the Arcanic aura.
"...go on?" Another arrow searched to pass Anton.This time it succeeded,hitting Anton's leg.
He took a breath,impassible....the arrow are so thin that a simple spell is enough to heal the wound.
"I guess you will go on" Anton removed the arrow from his leg and Medea came out from the camouflage.
She was smiling.
Medea is thin,tall and she never loses her smile: her irony surpasses Anton's and her hairs are black.
"Ah well....the news? The presumed "Apocalypse","Ragnarok","Armageddon" and so on?" Medea said walking with a Machete,made to cut down plants.
Anton was following her:"Yes....and I need some herbs to enchant my armour....better if you have the oils".
Medea looked back."Name the list Lorekeeper!"
Anton named his vast quantity of herbs' oils and wondered if John,the Alchemist,needed something.
"Ah...do you have Boom daisies? A friend of mine might need them.
"Boom daisies....Hmmmm....here!" Medea guided the way.
Medea's shop was worse than the Labyrint of the Minotaur.After an half hours of walking Anton said:"That's why they say to don't judge a book from the first page....Medea your shop is bigger than I thought!"
Medea smiled,while chopping down the unlucky trees."Neither I know how big is this shop...." She said laughing.
Ten minutes later they found these "Boom Daisies":"Here!"
"How much is all this timeless list?"
"Well let's see...." After minutes of calculating "It's free....gratis..."
"Meh....I can't accept Mede...".
"Oh wait...if you can do me the favor to tell me what do you think of the incoming invasion...."
Anton sighed....He forgot that Medea doesn't accept classic cash.
"This might be more digestive with...some tea..."
After an hour af talking Medea freed Anton
"Thank you "Illuminated"! For the company!"
Anton smiled as he was heading to the Alchemy room.

As the Pure energy started to decimate the demons,nearly entering in the portal the Phase walker appeared on the trajectory of the ray,raising his blade.
Beign made partially by light The Inexesting blade managed to,first parry the ray and then push it on the left.
In the meantime the demons were looking at the Phase walker,suprised.
The demons,in their home closed to portal in fear...
Again Az'Ghardhren'Vor saved his brothers by creating a distorsion in space.
Then he disappeared doing the best thing an assassin could: stalk the interested person.
He followed them in the a great building.
Currently he was in the Aethersphere of the Earth realm,seeing the Church as a blue colossus,emanating an aura made entirely of light and energy.
To avoid exposures against too much light he sheltered himself with a dark barrier....the first thing he wanted was to be noticed.
He entered following the mage.
He heard all the dialogue about the Demonic pact of the Humans.
"We are generated by them....sins...."

Az'Ghardhren'Vor

The demon didn't Said anything: he actually allowed to the Paladin King to drag him around the castle.

"How did you in here? This place is filled with barriera of lights!Even if I Was Sorry for you father you cannot enter in this church!"

As two blades were pointing at his neck he left out a grin: the first sound he produced in that day.
"You...are hopeless...there's no Way to defeat this Invasion!"
His Voice was deep with a demonic tone,amplified by his mask...meanwhile the tentacles of the Netherstone amor was Entaglaging the dagger.
Az'Ghardhrend'Vor,meanwhile had his fingers on the Crusader's sword.
"Why am I here...am here to break the laws of my fa there's Crusader...I'm here to join you Order"
Az'Ghardhrend'Vor had his right hand on the sword of the Crusader.He Was moving it away,with a force that he neverwinter knew to on.
"Alway if you allow to,Grand Crusader...Even if you killed my Ahz'vjol...my teacher..."
After he Said his words he moved backward.
"Think about it...if we Will be victorious am going to convert my self in your believes.Careless of the Price."
Then he looked at the Knight and the Berserker.
Before to completely disappear he ordered to his Netherstone armor to leave the dagger.
After that he threw,on the feet of the assassin,somewhat like a red dagger.
Then he left the chamber without making any sounds.

Anton Wardenveld.

After the words of the Paladin King Anton started to Think.
"How to detect demonologists....hmmmm..."
Meanwhile he felt a disguisting quantità of darkness behind him.
"Our strange demon friend...he is...without dark intensions...good for him.

As the Dragoon landed and introduced him self Anton didn't exitate:
"My pleasure Dragoon! Am Anton Wardenveld,lorekeeper of the group,known as the "Illuminated" due to my researches...
So you own a dragon! One day or another we should sit and have a tea...We could share our knowledge about the skies and the Ancient ones...what a villan...i forgot to Thank you about your supports."
He said,while Lance Was charging at the demon.
Anton Was impassibile,till that when the demon passed he lifted his shoulders and whispered.
"He's Alway like this...for your luck your Captured wasn't Dante".
He pointed to the duelist.
After the meeting he went to the Cathedral of Purifications to help the Apprentices with the in spells.
