For a fraction of an instant, the glow wavered, radiating a sense of profound anger- which quickly turned to fear. Not fear at Demon Bane, or it's weilder, however. Rather, a vague purple radience was rising in the center of the yard, off a tall mausoleum, one carved of granite and frought with fres...
Sorry for the inactivity, everyone. I've been pretty sick and could only get on a few times. I'm sorry again. Elandar, I doubt you'll even look at this thread at this point, but I want you to know that your bio is excellent.
Winhab, who had been somewhat concerned by the news of magical murder, glared at Sin. "No! Hardly a tome worth the time to look at the cover! I mean 'The Talons of the Skies', you foolish child! In inexperianced hands, that book is..." "Murder." completed Lavic, walking into the ...
1. "Wait! Wait!" Tom shouted, mounting (with some effort, and nearly failing) his horse. "The the smoke extends up to the mountain! The storage house may already be ablaze, Kaine! Winhab might have dangerous... oh, ye gods, what is THAT?!" As they exited the forest, they could se...
1. "Stop shaking me! I'm awake! I was awake afore ye, you lout. Do I sense the delicate aroma of pepper?" Tom did not so much roll out of his blanket as he did... unfold. With practiced ease, he took to his feet in a matter of seconds. He sniffed appriciatively at the scent, and smiled ble...
1. "Indeed." The Butler said, "Do follow me. Be sure to take careful note of our route- the Manor of Winstrom is an old house... a very old house. It is quite easy to become lost in the corridors, and I do not think you would like that. Nor be lost for long, if you take my meaning.&qu...
1. "Aye," Said Oakenspar, seeming truely troubled for the first time since Kaine had met him, "But ye do be sure to let me know aforehand, so that I can get ready to flee, eh? Well, let's eat and sleep. If we find this tablet thingydoodle, then we'll know about all 'o the magical dist...
"Spices? I dunno if the old man would want 'te pay for all that. Then again, the meat might be a touch old, so the guards might have insisted... yeh, I'll check." The jovial Tom began to poke about in the wooden box, muttering to himself. As such, he did not see the way everything outside ...
1. As had happened with Tom and Kaine, several guards peered out of a balcony at once. This time, however, they didn't shout a single challenge- instead, they simply glanced at the dark sky and called inside. At once, the door opened inwards, revealing a well-dressed servant of some kind. "Good...
Tom shot a look back at Kaine, and it was nothing like the dismissive and jovial assessments he'd made before. This time, Oakenspar was suprised, and his glance was sharp and measuring. "For all I know, it's just a glow. I'm surpised, however, that you've noticed it. Thus far, only one other pe...
1. In the interest of time, Fayte soon found himself approaching Winstrom Manor, right behind another traveller. The manor was located up against the side of one of the low mountains, and with the sun nearly completely sunk over the horizion, it was just possible to make out the random stirrings of ...
Oakenspar met Kaine in the courtyard, rather less prepared looking- he had shunned his packs, and bore only a sword and a long, rude spear. "Hah!" He barked as Kaine caught up with him, "You're looking overprepared. They've got little one-room guard buildings every few miles in Winstr...
Tristefan skulked moodily through the city, composing his thoughts. Or, rather, not composing them- one of his favorite activities on passable days was to simply walk the streets, forgetting all of the burdens and worries of life and simply enjoying the walk. This was, he reflected, something like a...
Name: Dyn Alpawhyn Race: Nominally halfling, with predominately human features and bearing Age: 47 Appearance: Dyn is perhaps 5'11'', but stands and walks with a trained bearing and demeanor, so that he projects a sense of being somewhat larger and imposing than he actually is. He is fairly lanky of...
1. Captain Lavic nodded curtly to the two of them as they entered the room, gesturing for silence. He pointed to the opposite side of the library. There, at a bank of several long (if course) tables, a group of perhaps a dozen grey-robed men, fairly young, sat, pondering over tomes. "Those are ...
As Kaine pushed in the door, he realized that Lord Winhab was already speaking... but not to anyone. "Fah!" The old man exclaimed, peering intently at the air in front of him, "What's that supposed to mean? I know, I know, but there was nothing he could have done! Oh, you're not objec...
"Oh, you know why we're here, Lavic!" Tom shouted, "We want in on his lordship's offer." The captain squinted. "Tom? Tom Oakenspar? I never thought you'd have this kind of timerity! Alright. I'll get the door opened." Lavic vanished back inside, leaving the guards to st...
Winstrom Manor was located directly inside the vale. Winstrom Vale itself, convienently enough, was demarcated by four low mountains which formed a rough circle around the lands. Several small brooks abutted the road leading south from the vale, and in the middle of these, the Manor had been built. ...
