    Default [Nexus] (Plot) Hunt the Dark Mage

    As you leave the door through the over side you will see yourself standing on a crossroad in the mid of a strange forest.
    The forest first seems like a nomal on. The trees grow there and there kind is the same as in every Nexus forest. If you take a closer watch you note how accurate they where placed. The distance between each tree seems to be the same and if you take a closer look to the grass under your feets you will note that they are ordered the same way only with a much smaller distance between them. It's obviously that this ground isn't natural. After all it seems to be late afternoon, because the red gloom of the sun can be seen through the crowns of the trees.

    The sign infront of you points at three directions. The one pointing to the left side which should be West says: "UpperRed" the one pointing to the way in front of you says: "MidRed" and the last one points to the East and says "LowerRed". The signs give no distance, but you can hear the sounds of a city nearby.

    Harnel turns to Sarah, "Where do you think we should go? I don't think we even know where to start looking for this guy."

    I'm guessing Vutha is there as well?

    "He's probably hiding somewhere." Sarah says with a smirk, "We should probably ask around for some powerful wizard guy in the cities though. Question is, should we use these lowly forms or our true forms?"

    She looks around the area as her silver hair suddenly shifts into a natural dark brown. While this should give them slightly less attention the fact that Harnel is a half-dragon and she is a very beautiful human woman won't be in their favor if they are planning to sneak.

    Are dragons ever ugly in human form? Sarah wouldn't stand it.

    "These ones." Harnel says, "If there's people around, we don't want to intimidate them out of giving us answers, or making them think they need to fight us. Change when we're challenged."

    Harnel begins walking forward, heading in the direction the sounds of a city are coming from; no point in standing around

    Also the spund comes from all directions seems like at the end of each road lays a town.

    "I can't. I don't have that kind of magic." Harnel says, wondering how long it'll take for Sarah to catch on about his nature not being a dragon anymore.

    sine sound is coming from every direction, Harnel will start walkiing in the direction of LowerRed; may as well start from the bottom

    Vutha follows Harnel as well.

    It takes a bit of time until you reach the end of the forest. in front of you appears a shield saying:

    "Welcome to LowerRed"

    The road continuses and becomes more like todays streets. The city in front of you is ordered like the trees befor allways in blocks of 9. but in this town there are only hills with small doors and windows. The only execption is a building that looks like a dice in the middle of the town and the tavern nearby. The name of the Tavern is "The Crown".

    Also this city isn't dead. people walk around, but there are mostly halflings gnomes, kobolds and other small races. A few Dwarfs and An Ogre can be seen as well. All wear either the necklace or another part of the set.

    When he spies the controlling artifacts that are situated on every person, he says, "Somehow, I don't think that's going to be too much of a problem anymore." It's clear he doesn't like this - what sort of monster enslaves so many people with magic?

    "Looks like a demons personal playground to me." Sarah says with a snort. "All simple minded thralls... perhaps we should go elsewhere? We will stand out quite well here with all these demons."

    Her own world only had demons, humans, dragons and dragonborns after all. (Half-dragons aren't really a race where she's from.)

    "They aren't demons. They're what my world calls the savage races - Kobolds, goblins, Halflings. That large one there is an ogre." Harnel sighs and shakes his head, "I think I know how these 'Reds' are organized. The easily dominated races in LowerRed, and the higher you get, the more difficult it was. I wouldn't be surprised if there's dragons in UpperRed."

    Knowing they won't get much out of this, he turns back, and begins heading for MidRed, mostly to see if it's any different, "Vutha, is there anything you can tell us about this place?"

    "No Master Harnel I can't tell you anything. My old master keeped me in his home until he was send out."

    MidRed is very different to Lower Red. After all the System is still kept here as well. the buildings are ordered in niner blocks. The only difference is that this city seems much bigger. The buildings are mixtures of todays skyscraper, houses and knigh time wood houses.

    To find this out you have to go into the city. The people won't even really take note of you. They just keep on there live. The main population here seems to be humans, but there are also elves halforks lizard Folk and other races of en equal heigth. There are still some halflings gnomes and Ogre around. As in LowerRed all people wear one part of the set, but since you know more about these races you could notice that they don't have the same blur in there eyes like Vutha.

    "Might as well be demons, they sure look like them." Sarah says with a shrug.
    "An entire plane with enslaved people and he have them just wandering around? What a waste, I would have them build gigantic statues of me at least or something like that." She says with an hand gesture. It's hard to tell if she's joking or not. <.<

    "Hey you!" She calls up the closest person. "I need to buy some slaves, who can I buy it from?"

    The human man turns around and looks much confused at her.

    "I'm sorry, but we don't have slaves here." The man shakes his head and goes on with his daily working.

    Sarah sigh and shakes her head, turning back to Harnel, "It was worth a try, maybe you should ask for whoever rules this place instead?" She gives him an odd look, "What you really thought I was going to buy slaves? Geez, I'm better then that. Humanoids make poor slaves anyway."

    Harnel just gives her a skeptical look. He doesn't follow up on it though, instead just sighing and saying, "Maybe we should get to a vantage point, such as in the air. Maybe then we can figure out where everything is and what it's for. And why Everybody has the same glazed eye look as Vutha here, if we look hard enough"

    Well, Sarah was a slave at one point, or well at least imprisoned in human form for some time. She isn't very found of slavery.

    She shrugs, "Fair enough, can you turn into a bird at least? Or do you have to use your dragon form for that?" She asks with a raised eyebrow.

    Well the people don't react much to the two halfdragons. Since Sarah is in her human from she is threated like normal people.

    If you enter the tavern you see just a normal bar with many tables. The tables are mostly human size but there are also a few bigger and smaller once. Since it's afternoon the tavern isn't filled. On the left side are some stairs down on the right are some stairs up. The sound of a bowling alley can be heared from downstairs.

    "She's going to become immortal if her spell works. If I'm lucky, I'll have about four hundred years under my belt by the time I die. As a dragon, I'd have thousands of years of life, and could be with her that entire time. I worry about her. I don't want to leave her all on her quite so quickly as all that, even if I'm more comfortable in a humanoid form. It's... a difficult choice for me. For now though? I'm just a Half-Dragon."

    Yes, Harnel enters the tavern and sees all this

    "Sounds complicated, why don't you turn immortal somehow as well then while keeping this form? I know Damon, my mate, turned into a dragon for me." Sarah says as she start to look around a bit, was Harnel seriously going by the stereotype bartender who knew every rumor? Ah well, surely there was some bits of truth in that fairy tale right?

    She looks for a bartender.
