You awaken in a strange place. The air sells old, like a room that has not been opened in a very long time. You are sitting in the dark on what feels like an ancient stone throne. Sitting in your lap is a crystal that is giving off the same level of a light as a cell phone. In the other corners of the room you can see four other glowing objects just faintly. The stone throne if you move your hands around, without first grabbing the crystal on your lap, is covered in strange runes. They seem so familiar and you are sure you know what they mean despite never reading runes before. If you try to call out you notice how silent the room is. You hear nothing not even your own voice.

"Huh, what, where am I? Why can't I hear my own voice?"Looking around, James takes in the contents of the room before picking up the glowing crystal for closer examination, "and just what do we have here? Dang, still no sound!"

Daniel

Dan looks around as he absently scratches with a nail at the carvings on his seat. No sound...no light, aside from some creepy glow in the dark novelty shop knock-offs...I've gotta stop sneaking Good n Plenty's before bed time... He shifts in his seat impatiently. Why can't I ever dream about Laura Fisher from down the street? This has to be some kind of wierd dream. At least I'm not naked this time. The last thought is accompanied by a silent sigh.

He picks up the crystal in his lap, and gazes into its depths....suddenly he wasn't so sure it was a dream...

Percy

Surprised that he feels calm and comfortable instead of fearful and cornered, Percy reaches for his flash-light and inhaler.
No pockets. No sound either. More glows in the dark.
He tries to reach out: "Hello? Anyone out there!?"
Still no sound. Still not worried either. Odd.
Ok Perc ol' boy, time to scout your immediate surroundings. What are you sitting on?" Stone, marble maybe? Adornments. Runes? I know this. How do I know this?
He bends over slightly, bringing his head closer to the light in his lap.
"Siri, where am I?"

Conleth groans as his hand moves up to reach for his head. When he is surrounded by darkness his first thought was that he was hung over and lost somewhere. When he realized that he could not even hear his own groans he freaked.

"Is anyone there?" He called out, well he tried to call out. That was when his eye caught the light source on his lap. With his right hand he reached out to grab it.

When you reach out and grasp the crystal something happens. It starts to glow and brightly. The crystal becomes warm in your hand while you become stiff and cold. After another moment the color of light Changes. Lightning surges forth from The Crystal James holds filling the room with the loud crack of thunder. Light like a bright summer day spreads from the Crystal in Percy's hand. Conleth and his crystal burst into flames filling the room with warmth. Finally The Crystal In Daniel's hand pulls in the light calming it bringing shadows to the room.

Then each one explodes and a creature made out of either fire a storm light or shadow stands on your lap. It looks strangely human and quite happy to see you.

If you look around you are in a thrown at the corner of a perfectly square room. The walls floor and ceiling are all covered in rules that for some reason you recognize as spells to summon bind and hide something very powerful. If you take some time you will notice the runes on the chairs are now glowing but you are not completely sure anymore what they mean.

Please describe your new attire. Everyone can see everyone.

Dan the Shadow-man

Daniel stifles a gasp when the gem explodes in his lap, leaving behind...You're kidding me... a small human-shaped...glob of dark? If this IS a dream, it's a weird one.

"Don't mind the duds though, pretty damn sick!" He plucks at his garb as he stands from the throne, Pitch black pants, well-fitting, plenty of room to wiggle. A little emo for my tastes, but hey, at least they match the shirt. As he feels under his shirt he notices Body armor? No...a chain-link shirt? HA!

He reaches up to adjust his customary ball-cap only to find it's been replaced by a cowl, complete with a mask covering his mouth and nose. "I'M A GODDAMN NINJA! SCORE!" he shouts in surprise. "If I'm dreamin', don't wake me up!"

Shoulder length White hair blows around in an unseen wind as the lean but well muscled man looks around, then grabs at his white and blue Karate outfit

A thousand questions run through his head as he looks around the room.

"What happened to my normal clothes? where did this come from?"
"Hey, I've never felt this good, am I taller?"
"I had short dark hair, why is it long and white now?"

Muting his silent questions James speaks out,
"I can clearly remember knowing, for certain, that magic only exists in fantasy but now I know those are runes are active spells..."

Stroking the creature in his lap "And you are defininately not just a fantasy, are you little fellow."

Mercy

Looking around curiously at the other seats of power and each elemental, Percy ends his gaze at himself.

He notes that he is dressed in light flowing garb tied more tightly at the waist, ankles and lower arms. Heavy steel bracers, belt and leather boots of solid black conflict with the soft whites and grays of his clothing. Consisting of a simple shirt and vest and airy britches.

He gives a short greeting wave towards the creature of light sitting in his lap.

Rolling out of the chair to handspring into an arial somersault and landing deftly in a standing position James snaps out a bewildering flurry of kicks and punches, "Hey Ninja, I've become Ryu!"

Visual Image, just think of Ryu but with light blue trim and shoulder length white hair that is somehow always being blown backwards away from his face by a wind that is otherwise imperceptible.

Daniel

Noticing the others around him for the first time, Dan lets out a chuckle, "You aren't hidin' Chun-Li behind you by any chance are you?" He scoops up the little shadow and gives it a perch on his shoulder as he surveys the room.

Offhandedly he offers, "Name's Dan, Dan Brock, from Independence, Missouri." with a bit of a southern accent.

Dan studies the runes about the room for a moment, trying to bring their understanding back to the front of his mind. [roll0]

Medic!There was a very complex ritual done here with old magic. The energy needed would have cost many lives. It was a spell powerful enough to rip a god away stuff it in here lock it away and keep it secret that they did this.

The shadow elemental on Daniel's shoulder clings on tightly," You make a good perch"

The Storm elemental floats after James and says in a calm voice," Sir... please do not leave me behind."

The light elemental smiles happily and waves back" Greetings Creator."

Conleth is dressed in a sleeveless deep red trenchcoat. Underneath is a simple black tshirt and a cord necklace with a strong large tooth on it. He wears a pair of loose white pants, the type one wears while practicing Chinese martial arts. His hands have thick leather gloves on them and his feet on in thick black traveling boots. The change in clothing and in his body has disturbed Conleth no doubt but he cannot stop staring at the elemental on his lap. It in turn stares back at him. After a long pause while the rest of the group is introducing themselves to each other the elemental speaks up.

"You're alright." It says before floating off.

With it off his lap Conleth stands up and accidentally jumps. How could he be so much stronger and so much lighter... This was amazing," Hi guys... I am Conleth. Are you all alcohol poisoning induced hallucinations are are you all real?"

Escheton

Percy

"Hello little one. How am I your creator?" Percy asks the creature of light. He also reaches out to it softly with his hand to examine it's density and substance and if he can gently pick it up, not knowing if he can as it seems to be made of translucent light. He takes it on his hand and stands up, making a formal salute.

"Percy Smith, US army.
We could of course slap each other around with a large trout and see what happens."
Saying this he makes a joking gesture. And with that several gallons of water materialize in midair and fall to the floor in the center of the room.

Dan strides over to Percy, extending his hand to shake, "Proud to meet you sir, I'm shipping out to Navy bootcamp in a few weeks myself! So uh...when does Gandalf come out and tell us about the princess in a tower we have to slay a dragon to save?"

This dream is getting weirder and weirder...I'd wiggle my fingers but I'd probly end up naked in the girls' locker-room or something...

Strainseir
2012-10-31, 06:15 AM
The elemental of light, though it cannot normally be touched by corporeal creatures is touched normally by you. The same with Daniel and his shadow. When Percy Salutes so does the light creature," I do not know how you are my creator, simply that you created me. I am not complete yet, but I am still happy to be here."

Looking at the other men James replies to their introductions,
"I'm James Harvey Jones, formerly of London."

to Conleth James replies:
"I'm inclined to believe the Halucination hypothesis but..."
Observing the flash flood, James's eyes widen slightly.

To the familiar he replies "grab a shoulder then little one, and hold on tight!"

Percy

Like his fellow King of Old he puts the creature on his shoulder and shakes the hand of the ninja.

"Alright Dorothy, lets look for a yellow-brick road.

He wanders around and examines the walls whilst looking for an exit. All the while trying to recreate the motion that emptied the bathtub.

Strainseir
2012-10-31, 06:21 AM
Almost as if commanded by Daniel's words orbs of light form on the walls. From them energy trails along the runes traveling along the floor. They reach to the center and form a perfect circle. Inside the circle of light a strange symbol forms that you all seem to know as the symbol for hope. The rock fades away form the floor and a pedestal rises. On the pedestal are four more runes.They read Fire, Storm, Light, shadow. These runes however do not glow. Instead they seem to be palm sized coins.

Strainseir
2012-10-31, 06:24 AM
Despite being made of wind the tiny elemental holds on to you as if it had hands However in response to the water being thrown the elemental lets loose a tiny zap of energy at Percy.


If you want to try and dodge it dc 1 reflex or you take 1 nonlethal.

Daniel quietly asides to the shadow on his shoulder, "Whaddaya say Boss, that one looks like ours..." as he snatches the Shadow coin off of the pedestal. He examines it closely for a moment as it rolls back and forth across his knuckles.

Strainseir
2012-10-31, 06:27 AM
As Daniel rolls the coin in his hand it cracks in half turns black then fades away. Then almost immediately he hears something.


The sound of two beautiful women yawning form a long sleep can be heard coming from your shadow, but only you hear it.

"Good morning master." They say in unison.

As Conleth stands up his familiar flies over and grabs at the coin trying desperately to lift it,"Come take this so that we can go fight! Hurry!"

Conleth Scratches his head and blinks a few times before just ignoring the fiery creature,"Um... Conleth Gaston. I am from Seatle. I do not think this is a hallucination. You lot seem far to real, especially compared to this place... And the knowledge I have. It is not even odd, I feel as if I always knew it."

Percy

"Looks like ya got a feisty one there, bub.", Percy responds after adeptly dodging the little outburst.

Using his momentum, he moves towards the light coin. But does not pick it up, instead he turns to Daniel.
"You ok?"
Hearing the flame speak of battle he asks his light: "Fight? Who do we fight? And why?"

When James Pick's up the coin it turns into a gust of wind that then form into handwraps floating in the air in front of him. They call out to James as if alive wanting to be worn.

Ember the Fire elemental looks to Percy and practically growls,"Whatever comes next. This is just like in the comics my master has read. We are in some kind of dungeon. The only way out is going to be through glorious combat... or a door might just pop open and let us outside. BUT somewhere outside there will be heroic deeds that need doing!!"

Conleth could not help but laugh at the hyper comments of his tiny would be hero. He reached out and grabbed to coin that immediately exploded into flames. When the flames coalesced they formed a greatsword.http://www.freewebs.com/voiddemon/Ichiteix.JPG

"Let us out... We want to play."
"Yes. It is stuffy in here."

James smoothly binds the Handwraps around his hands, the complex pattern seems to be natural to him as he doesn't hesitate or waver.

Laughing he says, "Fiesty isn't the half of it, he's after you now."

Daniel

Daniel kneels down pretending to tie his shoe (and belatedly realizing his shoes have no laces), serreptitiously looking at his shadow, trying to figure out who's talking to him.

"Oh, yeah...sure, just fine. Dandy. Why wouldn't I be ok?"

Strainseir
2012-10-31, 07:36 AM
The light elemental looks to the fire then back to Percy," I suppose he could be right... What is my name sir?"

Escheton
2012-10-31, 07:36 AM
Percy

Being quite familiar with dungeons Percy quickly reaches for the coin in hopes of a weapon. As one does not want to stand empty handed when the dungeon brings the party to you and you feel the breath of a cave-troll on a troglodyte diet.

"How would you wish to be named?"

Strainseir
2012-10-31, 07:38 AM
When Daniel kneels down the shadow elemental move with him. It points calmly at to hilts just barely noticeable in Daniel's shadow.

"I think... These are what are speaking."

Strainseir
2012-10-31, 07:41 AM
The coin begins to glow brightly then it suddenly flashes and an amulet sit's i Percy's hand. It is a large gem set in gold on a gold chain. The gem is beautiful unlike anything anyone in this room has seen before. Then rather unceremoniously a rather large hammer made out of a strange black metal clunks onto the floor behind Percy.

"Whatever you choose to call me will be fine. I just want to have a name sir."

Medic!
2012-10-31, 07:41 AM
Daniel

Daniel scoops the hilts up, realizing they are blades. "Er...thanks!" He slips one up each sleeve and glances up at the shadow on his shoulder. "You know, Percy's got a point...you're awfully quiet, what's your name Champ?"

Strainseir
2012-10-31, 07:47 AM
Medic!

Thank you... We have been in the cold dark so long. The warmth of your hand is nice...
Take me into battle and I will not fail you.


The Shadow elemental looked at Daniel curiously," I was birthed of your energy but moments ago. Whether you meant to or not you created me. I would like you to name me, but I could easily choose one for myself."

Medic!
2012-10-31, 07:50 AM
Daniel

"Oh that would never do...least I could do is give you a name I guess...how do you like..."Radar?""

Once that's settled, he addresses the other two speaking things that have dropped into his life in the last few minutes. "And do I need to name you two ladies also?"

Still winding on the Handwraps, James glances at his shoulder, "how about you Breezy, you have any preference for a name?"

Strainseir
2012-10-31, 07:52 AM
Conleth swung is sword around a few times and smirked happily. It felt to light in his hand even though he knew it was so actually quite heavy. What a beautiful thing it was. It seemed hungry though. That was odd.

The Fire elemental turned to Conleth rather expectantly,"So.....?"

"Oh your name is totally Ember." He said with a CHuckle but Ember seemed to like it.

With all 4 coins removed the pedestal began to glow. It turned into energy that flowed through the floor. It moved to the wall before creating a door frame 10 feet wide that reached the ceiling. The section of wall faded away to nothing and the glow died. It was dark but the air began to flow.

Listen checks please.

Strainseir
2012-10-31, 07:53 AM
The storm elemental stroked it's pseudo-chin. "Not sure... but if you call breezy again I will zap you." it said in a quite playful tone.

Percy

"Ow, heck yeah! Bling and a ten ton hammer."
Whilst carefully putting on the necklace he asks his new companion "How does "Thomas" feel? After Thomas Alfa Edison.
Turning around he picks up the beast of a hammer and swings it around a bit to see where the balance lies. Finding out that he is exceptionally adept at wielding it in the process.

"Alright, lets slip into something a little more comfortable and befitting my weapon. Suddenly Percy transforms before your eyes. Size increasing, arms lengthening and skin turning a vile green untill a large hunched over Troll stand before you.
Hmm, nice. But perhaps a bit barbaric. Lets add some armor for a bit more regal look.
With those words a bright shiny plate of armor forms around him, obscuring his looks. With sounds of bone and tendons snapping and breaking he rights himself, rotating his shoulder a bit and doing some light stretching.
"Ok, bring on this dungeon!'

As soon as he sees the spider come fully through the doorway, Daniel springs into action, kukris slicing at the creature's leg joints. Once his routine is finished he vanishes behind the arachnid, making a few quick gestures and snapping his fingers. "Git 'em Radar!"

Radar attacks from Dan's shoulder, delivering the spell his master casted on him.

EDIT: Daniel will cast Touch of Fatigue for Radar to hold the charge on, then follow the spider as it passes by him, trying to avoid its notice as he stalks directly behind it.

Full attack on the spider as it exits the doorway, followed by a 5-ft step to move behind it (into the doorway/to the doorway side of it), and a swift cast of Touch of Fatigue for Radar to hold the charge on as a touch spell.

"I agree. Let's get the heck out of here." Conleth says before he helps to collect the goods.

If you follow the way away from where you come out, after about a mile it starts to slope upwards. You here the sounds of spiders moving away or going up as you head forward. They are obviously afraid of you. After another mile up a steep slop of close to 45% you come to another room like the one you entered. The same spells are inscribed on the walls and the floor but instead of four thrones there are four gems the size of a fist on the far wall. One is deep black, another glows, a third looks as though a storm cloud is locked inside of it, and the final one looks to be flowing lava behind glass.

Jared walks toward the black gem and touches it, giving little regard for the risks of not analyzing it first.

Officially naming his familiar Ace, for future reference.

Strainseir
2012-11-25, 04:55 AM
Upon touching it you feel a deep connection to the crystal. Something surges back into you like a lost piece of yourself returns. Energy surges into you reaching deep into your very being. Shadows shroud your form partially obscuring you from view. The three remaining crystals begin to resonate calling out to the other three to touch them.


You can roll a will save if you really choose, but the dc is so high you would need to be epic level to actually pass it.

Once you touch the crystal each one of you gains special power. Everyone gains +2 to all stats except your main casting stat that becomes +4. Any spell points that were spent are now restored. Jared and James have their familiars grow into a medium elemental but they take on the form of either a male or a female human. Percy's familiar becomes a Wyrmling radiant dragon (http://kahdnd.pbworks.com/w/page/5588962/Radiant%20Dragon) that has his alignment. Conleth's Familiar becomes a Pyroclastic dragon wyrmling (http://kahdnd.pbworks.com/w/page/5588961/Pyroclastic%20Dragon) with his alignment and radiant stats.


Everyone Also gains a new custom spell like ability that costs 1 sp to activate.

Casting time Immediate action.
Effect gain 1+1/4 your CL in an untyped bonus to ac.
Duration 1 round/cl
Special

Shadow Master(Jared): Gain concealment. When not in bright light you can hide in plain sight. Healed by cold damage, immune to shadow type spells. Healing is 1 point for every 4 received.

Stormlord(James): Gain fly speed equal to land speed +20 perfect. Must choose aspect when cast. Choose to be healed by sonic and immune to lightning or healed by lightning and immune to sonic. Healing is 1 point for every 4 received.

Divine Light(Percy): Gain immunity to death magic, energy grain, and negative energy. All undead within 20 feet take your Hdx5 damage a turn amd and any undead in that radius that have 10 hd less than you are completely destroyed. Whenever you cast a healing spell you can temp hp equal to 1/4 the healing you delivered to a max of your Hdx10. These temp hp points can be transferred as a free action on any turn to any ally you can see. The temp hp lasts until the aura ends.

Pyroclasm(Conleth): Gain Fly speed of base land speed +20 perfect. Healed by fire 1 for 4 and take 3/4 damage from sonic.

The Caster is wrapped in their element like a shroud protecting them as well as empowering them.

Feeling the call resonating towards him James answers it, turning and walking to the crystal.
He reaches toward it, his hand stopping an inch from the crystal and his fingers spread, as if absorbing the storms within, then his hand plunges in the last inch and the storm within the crystal expands outward to surround him.

The Storm cloud surrounding James soon shrinks again, seeming to pour all of its energies into James and Stormfront. Under the inrush of energies Stormfront swiftly grows in size and settles into a female form. James also seems to grow slightly with the concentrated storm power flowing into him.

When he feels the surge of power fade he withdraws his hand and clenches his fist, feeling better in almost every way. He turns to see Ace grow to his size and take the form of a woman.

Jared smiles, and says to the others "At this rate those spiders won't be even remotely problematic." He looks to Conleth and Percy, "Come on, see what you guys get."

He begins casting some defensive spells in preparation of what is likely to come.

Spells Cast:
Mage Armor for +4 armor bonus to AC for 9 hours.
Spiderskin for +3 Natural Amor, saves against poison and hide checks for 90 minutes.
Shield for +4 shield bonus for 9 minutes.

"This is unreal..." Conleth says as he touches the crystal before being consumed in fire.

Once all four of the of the crystals have been touched the wall glows a bright blue color then fades away just like the other. This time however the door opens up to the outside. Clean fresh unpolluted air surges into and down the room into the shaft you left. Outside the doors however, standing in the noon day sun standing are people all roughly 5 1/2 foot tall and what you are quite sure are elves in armor holding spears that you can see have a weak magic.

One of the elves, one that looks older and is wearing a shimmering black robe instead of armor calls out in Elfvish(German),"Hold my brothers. These people are not the destroyer." The elf then looks at the group as he speaks in Common(English),"Greetings strange ones. We mean you know harm. How did you get in there, and more importantly, did you come across a massive spider like creature?"

"10 legs, glowing gems studded around its carapace, penchant for spitting acid at people, Uglier than a Gungan getting electo-shock treatment?"

"Yeah, we met it."

Strainseir
2012-11-26, 07:12 AM
"It did put of a pretty good fight though. We were lucky that the thing had **** poor aim."Conleth said with a happy chuckle.

The wyrmling, Ember, at his side puffed out it's chest triumphantly at that statement,"Indeed, the beasty and it's kin put up a good fight, but they could not stand against our combined might. "

The elf stood there in silence at the stories of these strangers, but when he took notice of the dragons and the elementals talking calmly and in common his jaw hung open a bit. All that he could muster up to say was,"I am Erthon, mage captain in charge of the forces guarding the tomb."

"So was there anything else in there for us to fight? Big Ugly put up a bit of a scuffle but all the smaller spiders are cowering in corners now and it's too much trouble to drag them all out."

Slowly the light attuned druid catches up with the group, lagging behind a slight bit examining and interacting with his familiar.
Thomas? A dragon. How are you enjoying this more physical form?"
Yes sir. It's quite alright.

Addressing the mage-captain in english:
"Tomb...what can you tell us about it, the arachnoid and the markings? If guardians, I assume you have some knowledge of it's lore."

Aldurin
2012-11-26, 12:35 PM
Ace leans against Jared's shoulder, "Yo, you have real spider problem in there. I recommend fire."

Jared smirks momentarily, "We're not entirely sure what happened in there, one moment we were in our homes going about our daily lives, and suddenly we're here with familiars and the ability to generate craters in our foes."

Whispering to Ace, "Why the hell are these . . . elves . . . speaking German?"

"Because that's what they speak, just go with it."

Strainseir
2012-11-26, 07:47 PM
The elf pales as these creatures before him speak of a creature that terrorized his childhood,"The Spider creature was called the Destroyer. It was once the guardian of this place when I was a boy. It protected the last tomb of the Ancients. The magic that radiated from this place empowered the Destroyer making it grow strong, but soon it became wild and destructive. We lost many but were unable to stop the beast. Eventually our leader gave his live to trap the creature back into the tomb and lock the doors sealing the tomb. If you truly say that you woke up in there and then defeated the destroyer... You four are the lost ancients.."


"What do you mean Ancients? We are humans." Conleth asked with a raised brow.

"The ancients died out long ago saving this world from the twisted dead." Erthon said with a slightly trembling voice.

"I am sorry, but I only know legends. When magic was returned to this land, the ancients grew powerful and wise. However not all forces of magic are good. Some of those ancients that were once strong were not weak. They turned to dark forces and started war. The war cracked the planet. This freed the twisted dead. Dark and powerful souls escaped from whatever hell they were from. The souls corrupted living flesh man and beast alike. For many years the ancients fought with their machines and they magic they had found. In the end the planet was made barren by the war, and only a handful survived. They were indeed mighty mystics. They found the very heart of magic itself and healed the crack in the earth and brought light back to her. This left them dying and very weak. With the last of their power they created a tomb prophesied to hold the keys to restoring the ancients to this world and permanent;y quelling the darkness that spawned the twisted dead before they can return and finish bringing death to all on this planet." Erthon said in a calm tone trying to hide the wonder in his voice that he was standing in front of ancients.

"More importantly perhaps: Where are we geographically? What is the socio-economical position of 4 freshly awoken ancients? And would that whole reincarnation return whatsit have side-effects?"

The large metalic beacon of light walks around a bit to take in the scenery. Closely followed by the young dragon, making smalltalk about the flora and fauna.

2012-11-30, 03:59 AM
"Indeed, I would also like to see this prophecy, if there is one." Conleth said as he eyes the elf for a moment... that was until an overzealous dragonling bit at hit foot,"Arg you bastard!"

"You are a mile outside the city of Dunlock. It is not the largest of our cities, but you should bind everything you need there. If there are indeed children of the Destroyer in there we must stay and root them out. As for the rest, I am not entirely sure the words you were using." Erthon said the last bit to Percy.

Jared:

He responds to Erthon (in fluent German): "Percy is asking where we are on a world map, how important we are and what exactly is happening with us regarding our powers. I guess some aspects of the english dialect were lost over . . . however long our jump in time was."

Ace:

Impatiently nudging Jared, "Look man, we need to go to town and start shopping, if you're going to do more fighting then you need the right bling for it. Quit making small talk with strangers."

2012-12-02, 12:45 PM
"We have no world map. I cannot say how important any of you are. You could be the herald of some ancient prophecy or could could be four ancients that just put yourselves in a magic sleep and woke up now. I know not of your powers or what will come of you in the future, but know... most shall treat you different for what you are." Erthon said almost timidly. For the first time it was obvious now that though he was being polite and calm this elf was afraid of you four," The children can be easily mopped up the the forces here. We have used magics to protect us from their poison. With the Destroyer gone, that magic will not be consumed removing our protection."

"Right.", Percy says as he walks off to town, looking for a pawnbroker/metallurgic gem-smith, weapon-enchanter, town-hall and police station. To sell his loot, upgrade his weapon and inquire about hunting laws, travel papers and citizenship.

Strainseir
2012-12-08, 04:08 AM
Conleth follows after the group standing to their side,"I wonder just what the town is going to be like without humans.."

The town is fairly large and busy. It is not quite a city, but much trade happens here. Everywhere you look you see half orcs, halflings, a few gnomes, a dwarf or two, and many elves. Everyone that takes long enough to look at you quickly steps out of the way and seem in awe. Everyone but the tallest of half orcs, known here simply a orcs, can stand eye to eye with most in the group.

If you go looking for a guard to tell you about hunting permits and citizenship he looks at you strangely. There currently are no such things as identification papers or citizenship other than being a landowner. You can travel anywhere if you can pay the border tolls. However, unless you are a merchant hauling trade goods you can simply take a wider path around the tolls off the roads.

Enchanters look at each one of the four strangely. They stare at you in awe but trade with you happily.

You will find a party is hard to throw together. IT is easy to pay for but quite difficult for you to get anyone to show up, However two elves, rather large ones for what you have seen so far though not as large as the members of this group. They are heavily armor that you can see glowing with magic. The slightly older looking elf speaks in Elven,"The elder requests the presence of you for at the wall of memories."

2012-12-19, 02:12 PM
The two elves look quite confused at the words being used. They escort you through the streets without speaking for about 5 minutes until the group is brought to a small palace like building that is shaped like a ring. They lead you through the lavish building and into the center, but they do not step through the doors to the forested area that is the center courtyard. Inside, other than the plants and animals is a single incredibly old elf and a stone block that is perfectly square and stands 15 feet by 15 feet by 15 feet. It is a deep grey and without a single blemish or scratch despite having a feel of being very very old.

Conleth Follows the elven guards to the wall and simply stares in aw at the wall. He can practically feel the magic radiating from this thing. Almost without thinking he starts to walk towards it nearly dazed, but he snaps out of it when James says something. Then he as well bowed," Greetings and salutations Elder." he speaks in common.

While he awaits for the Elders response to his greeting James starts examining the stone block, somehow resisting the temptation to touch it, he puts on his new monacle and examines it closely.

James has not cast detect magic yet, he's still waiting awhile for a response from the elf, if no response comes in 10 minutes he will cast detect magic to activate the artificer's monacle's full ability.

The elder looks to the group and bows lowly,"Greetings children of the ancients. I am Ekkiron the last of the first generation. When I was born into this world at the return of my people, there were but few of yours left. They taught magic to me so that I might bring it back to my people. I watched then work the magic that built this stone. Many of them died from it... The rest lost themselves in constructing your tomb. All will become clear soon. Please, the four of you must choose a side of the cube and press your hand to it. I do not have much time. Please allow me to see the magic of the ancients one last time..."

With an accelerated step Percy moves to the stone, not caring which of the remaining sides he touches.

Strainseir
2012-12-23, 03:37 AM
Conleth moves as well placing a hand on the last open square.
All everyone's remaining spells points are drained but no one is exhausted.

The wall springs to life rippling and writhing. The wall of grey in front of you turns from stone to liquid yet it holds its shape. The face of the wall begin to play out a scene on every facet of the cube. Towering structures rise in incredible detail showing cities like the ones in the world each of the four came from. Then suddenly you see a single man in a lab that creates a terrible explosion then several more follow. Cities die and each one of you can feel that one of you had lived in each of the four cities that exploded.

The mural changes once more to a scene of way. Outsides came and invaded the untied states. There was a terrible war, but in time the forces were pushed back, but they were not pushed back by soldiers. Men and women casting magic crawl out of the wreckage of the Lost Cities. Each group is led by a slightly older looking version of the four. The Four push back the invaders. The four spread their magic and teach others. In less than a generation the world has peace, and all men and women have magic. Everything is has become a utopia, but not all humans wanted it that way.

With the return of magic, the forces of light and dark became able to influence this world once more. While the forces of light built the utopia, the forces of dark worked quietly. A cult formed, and the cult made a weapon. The weapon was built with profane magic twisted into a nuclear weapon. It was designed to crack the very seems of reality to allow evil onto this plane. In secret they detonated it killing themselves off in the process. With this a city fell to ruin, only the people in the city did not die. Their souls were twisted and shredded. They were alive yet dead, Twisted aberrations of what once was. Leading this army was the risen monstrous form of the cultists massed into one terrifying beast. It has the shape of a man, but it stood 25 feet tall made of eyes that belt, mouths that wailed, and tentacles.

The infection spread on the wind as the tainted energies flowed out of the crack. In under a month most of the world has been twisted. The combined might of the four only protected the last 10 percent from being turned, though every human life was now at least partially infected. For 4 long years the living battled the aberrant undead. The fighting left the planet barren and cold. Out of options the Four chose the only path. The 4 and any volunteers, which was the vast majority of the survivors, began to cast a ritual. They gave up their own life force empowering the four to the level near that of the gods. With that power they were able to fight their way into the crack to fight the Twisted King. They pushed him back into the crack. There they finished the ritual and gave up their own life force. It surged into the crack and into the ley lines of the planet. It up heaved the earth killing all of the twisted dead. The crack was sealed off by the life force. However something good happened. The concentrated magic released freed the creatures of old. Life spread across the planet turning it green again in a matter of years. From the vast forests elves wandered lost and confused. Dwarves crawled out of the mountains of the upheaval. Many other sorts of beings once lost time time returned. The last humans taught the first generation as best as they could before their own time came.

The humans were still infected. Using life force and magic they built the tomb around the crack and the stone corpses of the four. Those that survived that effort did not survive the creation of the cube.

Then the cube goes still, but as you move to take away your hand a faint image appears. It shows four humanoid shapes stepping out of the Tomb. They stand before a being that looked like a blurry version of the abomination. The four humanoids raise their hands and the creature falls to pieces. From each piece a baby forms and soon the four are surrounded by other humans in a beautiful city.
