AvB- Kylar

[planswalker]

"No, and be glad i trust you. What do you need next?"

[vorpal_sledge]

Yes, well...just point me to where the murderer is buried. I must also ask to borrow a holy symbol of your order, if i am to cast this spell.

[planswalker]

"Very well." She lends you her holy symbol and takes you to where he is buried. It appears as though the grave was dug only yesterday.

[vorpal_sledge]

Kylar kneels by the grave, and begins shoveling the dirt out of the way, until the body buried underneath is revealed. he then proceeds to cast Speak with dead using the borrowed energies.

[planswalker]

Although the corpse seems reluctant to rise again, it eventually does so. "What do you ask of me?" the elf corpse queries.

[vorpal_sledge]

Who hired you to kill the priest?

[planswalker]

"A man dressed in a dirty robe who was playing in the dirt."

[vorpal_sledge]

Where did you meet him at?

[planswalker]

"He approached me in the streets, near the Maid and the Mermaid."

[vorpal_sledge]

Kylar sighs. Did he have any distinguishing facial characteristics?

[planswalker]

"He wore a hood covered in pig filth. i did not see his face."

[vorpal_sledge]

Rest, then. Kylar releases the spell and stands up, brushing his pants off and sighing.

[planswalker]

the corpse returns to its state of motionlessness.

[vorpal_sledge]

Kylar turns and hands the holy symbol back to the pristess. i suppose this Maid and Mermaid place would be the best place to start, then. I believe it was on the way into town, yes?

[planswalker]

"Yes on the west side of town. Good luck on your venture." she says, taking the holy symbol back.

[vorpal_sledge]

Thanks you kindly, m'am. Kylar bows, then walks back out onto the street. Well, first stop is the Maid and Mermaid, i suppose. Never hurts to gather information, and i might save a step by meeting this dwarf, if he to is searching....

[planswalker]

you approach the maid and the mermaid from the back, looking for clues as to where that man could have gone. what do you do?

[Rizban]

A terrible explosion suddenly rocks the entire city, and the ground shakes as if an earthquake were tearing the city apart. The sky lights up from a blast many times the brightness of the sun, and you are certain that certain death has at last come to claim you. As the brightness fades, you look toward the Mages' Quarter and see the last remnants of the horror burning directly towards the sky in a seemingly endless stream of raw, burning mana which threatens to tear reality asunder. What seems like an eternity passes as you stare, though it is likely only a few seconds, and at last the blast fades away. In the distance, you hear a building collapse, and you are certain that something horrible has been unleashed upon the city.
