The lost City Of Claymore

[TruorTupnm]

Inghash whistles with admiration at how fast these Halestrikers have made graves for everyone from Sharlas. In fact, he's a little creeped out by it. Nevertheless, he attempts to gather a crowd and raise the town to help him out with this evil Nortes dude, who, besides (in Inghash's version of the story) destroying Sharlas, totally stole some orb that Inghash is currently on a quest to retrieve.

6: You sense a gigantic source of power coming from a castle behind the statue. You feel its power in your bones and are being drawn to it.

Frozen Messiah

Francis quickly checks if he can grab his bow and arrows, and then he sighs in relief that they too have come with him over to this side. Francis takes a small amount of time to figure out what had happened and only one name rushes into his head.

"I don't care if this is the bloody Grave of Vecna, I want that damned skeleton buried and no longer moving. If I have to walk across this whole damned place than I will. No one kills Francis "The Mark" Brown." At this point Francis walks into the city looking ofr anyone that can get him bring him back to life or has any idea of how he can do it himself.

6: A monk approaches you and says "Looking to kill the skelly ,eh? Well I want to kill him too. My brother died churning butter. That's right butter. He churned everyday until that evil creature came and killed him for no reason. This is about revenge. Not just for my brother, but for all of Sharlas. I shall resurrect you then I want you to cast this dust on him. It will turn him human. You can then strike his heart and let him die. And don't worry about him turning back into a skeleton, only once can a man be a skeleton. The man looks grim then says "Deal?"

2: One man steps forward and says in a low voice "I have one question. Do you want us all to die?!? He'll kill us good and dead. You know something? We were told your so called 'ally' destroyed the town. And guess what Mr.necromancer did? He killed the mayor and since he was the mayor's nephew now is mayor. It's enough that he kills us for fun, raises taxes, and robs us of our possessions, but you are asking us to hand our heads to him on a silver platter! You know that fella who gave you that quest? He's dead. They're all dead.The philosophers of the non-magic supporting group died at his hands. Ironic isn't it? The man turns then walks away all the people following him.

"You have got yourself a deal, anything to kill that damned bag of bones. Now then I am going to need to find the bugger, Oh well eternal time means I can take as much time as possible to find him kill him and put his head on my mantlepiece." and then a thought occured to him, "Wait if I kill him than will I disappear? I mean the only reason that I am alive...sort of would be because of my hatred towards him." Franics says treying to figutre out how to get around this technicality if it is indeed true.

[TruorTupnm]

Inghash mutters, "Huh. Plan B, then." He then heads back to the inn that they checked out, in the first place. In there, he'll admit that it was his party member, Talganshu, who destroyed Sharlas. He'll also point out that the guy betrayed them all, killing Francis, who had made some kind of very good deal with someone associated with this inn. That Francis guy was some kind of experienced adventurer. He promised a share of his fortunes to the owners of this inn. Talganshu is most likely having all kinds of fun with that unguarded fortune. Yes, attempting to fight such a thing is quite possibly suicidal, but all Inghash is asking is that they help him out with Nortes, who has something that Talganshu might want.

THE STORY OF THE LOST CITY OF CLAYMORE(I believe its time I tell you)

Once upon a 100 years ago lived the greatest wizard to be born. He did good and helped others and was loved by all. But one day he came upon his group of wizards and told them "The staff tells me that 100 years from now a great evil shall arise and terrorize our world." He was growing old and decided that he must hide his greatest treasure. Which was his staff. The staff could turn one into a god, but he never felt he was meant for godhood and decided just to keep it around gathering dust. But he knew in the wrong hands the staff could destroy the universe. So he brought upon 1 mage, 1 philosopher, and 1 dragon. He told them each to hide the items so that none shall find them, and then split the staff into 3 parts. A scepter, an amulet, and an orb. No one even knows how Banturas Claymore even got the staff in the first place.

"Alright, I have to be smart about this. I can't slip up and I have to come at him frm an angle he isn't expecting." Franics says to himslef as he gets up and dusts himself off, "That monk said that the living can't be touched by the dead. So if that is true than I need to get nice and close to the bag of bones. Hmm, that is something to think about...but I still have to find the bugger." Francis says as he walks over to the point where Talganshu teleported away. "He was standing right there and then he went off somewhere. I am going to need to talk around to...the...town." Franics slowly finishes due to him noticing the amount of gravestones that have now sprung up in the graveyard. "Francis you selfish prick, I am going to kill that skeleton not just for me but also for all of these people, now it's time to go back to the town, if it is still standing and find someone who will point towards the mad mage."

OOC: What was that supposed to be? A shadowy form appeared in front of him, or a showdown form, like a piece of paper that said, "Do you wish to take part in this showdown? Check Yes or No," which sounds kind of silly. If it's the second thing, I think that Inghash would just put a checkmark on No, but I'm pretty sure that you mean the other thing.

IC: Inghash concentrates, then shrugs his shoulders and says, "I don't believe we've met, actually, and I am just horrible with names, either way. You're a fan of riddles, then? I prefer to make myself clear." He studies the thing as well as he can, trying to figure out what it is, but he turns to his companions and asks, "Any of you know what this thing is talking about? Any fans of riddles here?" Anyways, since I am horrible with riddles, Inghash's roll will be all about trying to figure this one out for me.

Talghanshu bides his time, trying to sense out whats going on in the realm of the gods. Are they panicking? Marshaling their forces? Watching and waiting?

If it was a showdown paper why don't you just slice it in half? No, its definitely the first one because I don't see how a piece of paper can kill you other then giving you thousands of paper cuts.

Now you can either kill me and he would get angry because he most likely either wants to kill me himself or wants to talk to me or you can escort me to wherever he is in this horrible city." Francis says to the shadow who had just hovered by.

Inghash nods his thanks, gives the man a wink, and states, "Ah, Talganshu, of course! Now, unless you have riddles for all of us, I wonder if you would be so kind as to point us to any orbs of a mystical nature or mythological significance? I believe that the use of one that's supposed to be here would really inconvenience the old skeleton, curse his bones." Really, Inghash is just rolling with how other people are viewing Talganshu. He just thinks of the guy as a bit extravagant and trigger-happy, since he apparently doesn't know him very well.
