The Mystic Cave

[AmberVael]

Within the woods there lies a small cave hidden in the brush. This cave is filled with darkness, and secrets. As you enter, light glitters out of a sparkling pool towards the back of the tiny cave. It is rumored that those who drink of its waters may have visions of the past and future...
The cave is a rough 25ft radius chamber with a narrow 50ft long, winding tunnel leading from the entrance of the cave.

[AmberVael]

The Master sends his two unconcious victims into the cave before him, and begins murmuring softly over the sparkling pool.

[InaVegt]

Gezina

*One of the victims, a wereofx girl is moaning the name of a familiar familiar*

[AmberVael]

We need something else as well.
What then, Sound? You know more of this than we.
I am uncertain. Perhaps I should share with you my thoughts, and together we can devise something.
The Master sits and speaks to himself, devising a plan to summon the next Master.

[InaVegt]

Gezina

*The heart of the werefox girl finally stops beating*

[AmberVael]

The Master looks up and quickly holds out a crystal to her dying form. Her soul flies into it and he smiles.
Not what we had planned, but workable. Now, to find that one last thing.
He gets up and exits the cave.

[Deadly]

Ilias enters warily, followed by Achim.

[InaVegt]

Willem

*Willem enters and looks around*

[AmberVael]

Earin is right behind Ilias.
***
Soft, eerie singing echoes down the narrow passageway. The langauge is unrecongizable...

((You're still moving through 50 ft narrow entrance, Gezina))

[Seseinak]

Follows in Silently and Hides in a corner.

[Deadly]

Ilias fades away (incorporeal) and follows the passage silently. The others hears his voice in their minds Going a bit ahead, to spy

[AmberVael]

Earin mentally growls, but stays still. He glares at the supposedly hidden Seseinak.

[Deadly]

Ilias continues warily into the main room, looking around...

[InaVegt]

Willem

*Willem goes ahead as well, though not as far as Ilias*

[Seseinak]

Seseinak sneaks behind the Master. Getting really really close before....
He starts to play his pipes!
do do do do do do do
You know what you are looking for!
I do!
He skips merily around him!

((hey thats a +45 MODIFYER with just dex and ranks alone!))

(( and no.. I cannot spell modifyer))

[AmberVael]

Earin, not the Master, who is not yet there, reaches out and grabs the satyr by the neck.
"Shut it or die."
_______________________________

Ilias sees the Master in the main cave area, singing over the pool as he hold a strange, glowing crystal. Elya and the body of Gezina lay nearby.

((Your hide matter not against blindsight, Yarram.))

[Deadly]

Ilias jumps at the satyrs song, but manages to stay silent while studying the room... and the master. The others hear his voice again That lunatic we just killed is here, singing and doing stuff. I'm going to kill him once and for all!

He sneaks up on the master, his blades hidden

((Ilias doesn't know that.)) ((This is not easy))

[Seseinak]

Seseinaks hackles raise as he wrenches himself from the masters grip.
So you want to die then!
You don't want me to tell you whats ahead?

((bugger. Wait... how does blindight work again?))

[AmberVael]

The Master hears the song and looks up, his eye glinting dangerously. He looks around his cave, sensing Ilias's presence, but now looking as well.

[InaVegt]

Willem

*Willem's curiosity gets the better of him and he rushes forward*

I thought we killed you, leave my half sister alone!

[Seseinak]

Seseinak instantly shrinks from the glare
Don't hurt me please! I'm just a poor poor Satyr He sounds almost, but not quite mocking when he says this.

[AmberVael]

EARIN, not the Master, attempts to render the annoying the Satyr unconcious with his mindm and then follow his friends.

The Master smiles.
Flesh is so weak, but so repariable. The soul is not so. If you disturb me now, you sister might never return.

[Deadly]

Ilias looks up at the Master briefly before jumping at him, blades drawn.

[Seseinak]

The Satyr, with his very high will save resists the spell and blows a rasperry at Earin but falls silent anyway.

[InaVegt]

Willem

You stole her soul!

*Willem draws Death by the morning fox, his legendary scimitar*

[AmberVael]

Earin growls and heads off.
****
The Master steps away very swiftly from Ilias's attack.
I'll not warn you again...
A spirit writhes in the pool, suffering intense agony. It seems to resemble Gezina.
Damn it! Leave this be or she will suffer even more! It need not be this way.

[Seseinak]

A tussel! This will be fun! He exclaims before drawing his bow.

[InaVegt]

Willem

For what foul purpose are you using her, self proclaimed master?

[AmberVael]

Stay out of this and I will have no reason to kill you.
((And he can, Yarram. This is a serious warning from me and him.))

She is helping me to summon my brothers.
He attempts to return to his strange task with the crystal and his song.

[Deadly]

Ilias stops his attack briefly Return that soul to it's body!
