    Gloria Blackblade
    Gloria smiles slightly as the strains of magic knot within her and quicken her reflexes. It was exhilarating.
    "And now," she says, floating forward on ragged black wings a mere five feet with startling quickness,
    "Taste the wrath of Blackblade!"
    Gloria snaps her silvered fingers with a clink, and out of a nowhere springs a massive blade, black, curved and wicked and its edge incandescent white.
    With both hands, Gloria brings the blade down on Garek, intent on cutting him in half!

    Math takes a few quick steps so that he and Alamandias flank E2 (or E4 if that is closer) and attacks him.

    The vampire, having driven his blade deep into his opponent's soft flesh, continued with unrelenting ferocity as his companion came to aid him. A vicious smile on his face, he continued to fight, his blades dancing and weaving as he mixed blood and steel in a harmonious song of entropy unleashed.

    About the only thing interesting to note in the last round was Garek being smacked so hard it practically knocked him into the river, carrying him and Shiiman's sword off.

    As you began to pick off the rest of your enemies there was a loud cracking noise, and from across the bridge, you were able to witness Felicia's return.
    "Well Garek I trust you-.... Oh. Well, this will never do."
    Though her vocie was calm her eyes burned with an unnatural rage. She heald her hands up, and two black bolts shot forth from her hands, tearing the souls of Shiiman and Math from their bodies.
    "I trust you'll remember to stay out of my way."
    And just as quickly as she arrived, she was gone. A sickening smell drew your attention to your fallen comrades gear, which had turned an inky green color, and began to melt.

    2,500 exp for ya'lls.

    "She will pay for her deception, I shall see to it." Ozzariem growls low in his throat.

    "As is customary after battle, to the victor goes the spoils." He dismounts and begins to search the bodies of the fallen elves. Garek was a caster of some sort, perhaps he had items that would aid the party as well.

    No amount of search checks in the world will find Garek's equipment now.


    On the remaining bodies however you are able to find the following:

    18 days worth of salted meats, Darkwood fullplate, ruined darkwood fullplate, Twilight mithril breastplate, (Assuming you use you low levels spells to identify, you don't need those anyway) 3 +4 Ransuers of Frost, and Fireburst, 3 really nice looking capes that bare strong Abjuration auras, but you are unable to identify, a Scarab Buckler, 14,000 gold in assorted platinum pieces and jewels, and a brooch with strong necromancy but unidentifiable.

    Alamandias picks up the brooch, thoughtfully turning it over in his hands. perhaps I should hold onto this until we can have someone identify it. Even if its effects are... hazardous, it's probably less likely to be detrimental to myself.

    Gloria Blackblade
    Gloria winces as the two are reduced to green ooze, and she looks around, seemingly a little surprised at Ozzariem's seeming apathy.
    "Don't everyone give eulogies at once," she mutters, looking around for any other threats. After a few minutes, she shrugs and snaps her fingers with a dull metal clink. The sword in her hand vanishes, and after a minute the metal armor recedes from her captivating face, a bit nonplussed.
    "I'm gonna...I'm gonna suggest that we go ahead and go quietly from here on out..."

    Gloria shows little interest in most of the spoils of war, but she does scoop up a few handfuls of platinum to put in her pouch.
    "If you're done lingering...we really need to get out of here. You know, before the psychotic bitch comes back and kills us too?"
    The shadowy wings around her beat, yet do not disturb the air as she takes a seat on thin air, placing her chin in her hands.
    "Why is everyone around here so powerful? I've never even heard of any of them, and yet all these people are stronger than the legendary Gloria Blackblade."

    Ozzariem folds the cloaks and places them in his backpack. He ties the powerful Ranseur to his horse.

    "I suspect that these men were supplied from that's woman's forces, or allies." he shrugs.

    He gathers up a few handfuls of the platinum coins and places them in his sack. (say, 500 total) He also grabs a few of the jewels, placing them inside his sack as well.

    "I'm more surprised that these men would be walking around with such a huge amount of loose coinage and gems." he muses.

    1) who attacked Garek? I thought the vampire was attacking some other guy (#4 or #2) and Math was attacking #2.

    Gloria sighs and takes one of the ranseurs as well, tying it to the magical mount.
    "Whatever. Let's just go."
    With that, she alights upon the ground once more and mounts up. Without so much as a glance at the bubbling green ooze that was her former companions, Gloria rides on.

    As the recent loss of your companions hangs over your heads you continue on your way over to Carpathia. The day drags on and your thoughts occasionally return to the strange tree you saw this morning. And as you thought deeper about the conversation with the lich, confusion seemed to follow you.
    But as the day came to a close, and the sun began to set, you saw the old town, a good 4 miles in the distance.

    Gloria swings herself off the saddle gratefully as the night's travel appears to come to a close.
    "Gods, I hate travel." She leaves the magical horse to do whatever, not even bothering to hitch it to anything as she walks around a little.
    She places a silvery hand on her hip and squints into the gloom, looking off at the few lights coming from the distant town.
    "I'm not in the mood to go there tonight, not if there's a fight waiting for us. Didn't the chancellor say that some upstuck anal-retentive control freak took over recently there?"
    She spreads her hands to the side, and the ragged shadowy wings again spring from her back. She floats up and takes a seat in a nearby tree.
    "So not in the mood tonight. We'll deal with it in the morning, if we do anything about it at all."

    Alamandias smiled as they moved to set up camp In my experience, even the most 'anal retentive', as you put it, always has a weakenss. A vice. a crack, a chink in the armor... I'm sure we'll be able to find something to use to our advantage.

    He laughed again when Ozz glanced his way. Don't worry, I can take care of my own needs... I'll just find something small an unwary and take my repast that way.

    At Gloria's second comment, he shrugged a little Oh, I don't know... ever seen a beholder?

    Gradually, She floats off the branch and back down to the ground. She holds out her hand, and the silvery armor flows off her body and into a globe in her hand. she stows it away and tends to her golden hair.
    "Huh," she comments

    "Yes indeed, my home would not be very welcoming to your kind." Ozzariam nods at the vampire.

    He grasps briefly touches the amulet at his neck and speaks a few words, and the magnificent table and food appear as they did last night.

    "The Light has always been, and will always be. The Light is not simply the source of creation, as some supposedly 'learned' people believe. The Light is creation itself. The Light created all living things. We, the Lumi, were created from the first rays of The Light to be guardians, servants, messengers, and worshipers."

    He continues talking of his people as he eats. "But The Darkness struggles against The Light constantly. It consumes, destroys, and through its darkness breeds chaos. The Lumi seek to bring Light to the Darkness, order to chaos, and creation to destruction."

    The vampire grinned the same Cheshire cat grin, draped across the branch comfortably, speaking down to the two on the ground

    Hmmm... you know, that's a little different from the way I've heard it told. Of course, I'll add as a caveat that the fellow I heard this from was a necromancer, so his biases are a just a bit different from yours... anyway, the way I heard it was that the positive energy plane is, indeed, the raw stuff of creation... the very essence of life, birth, all that sort of thing... but it is creation without purpose. It's energy that has to be harnessed, and has no sentience. It creates because it is, just as the flip side of the coin, the negative energy that is my own... well, call it rebirth, exists pretty much to destroy. Entropy incarnate and all that... Neither of them are necessarily concious, though Alamandias shrugged Eh, that's just what I was told when I asked. The old man always did have a habit of overexplaining things. The original question was why it stung so damn much when I bit through a paladin's holy symbol. He grinned wider, chuckling a bit at the memory.

    "Of course he would espouse those ideas. That's one thing that the Darkness thrives on and fosters: deceit. When the Light of Truth is shone upon it, though, it shrivels and dies." he shrugs.

    He stretches his luminous arms above his floating head, his joints popping slightly.

    "Someday, perhaps you'll see the truth of the matter." he says simply.

    Gloria takes up a seat at the table happily, once again serving herself with abandon.
    Around a mouthful of fruit, she comments "I sunburn easily. The shade's good enough for me, most of the time."
    She laughs, quietly, then, looking at the apple in her hand.
    "Yeah, some of us? we didn't get to choose where we stand. Like you, I guess; when you got made, you traded in your neck for a hard-on for rules. Whatever."
    She flicks a hand through her golden hair, and picks up a goblet of wine, swirling the liquid in the cup for a little while before drinking.

    Alamandias

    Alamandias had to laugh a bit at the Lumi's words. No disrespect, but that's what every two-bit zealot I've ever met said. Me? I don't think there's such a thing as objective truth. It's a hell of a lot easier to say 'well, I'm right and everyone who disagrees with me is heathen scum' than it is to actually look into the matter and try to see whose words make the most sense. If you want my personal opinion, though, nobody's ever going to be completely right, because what you think is right is colored by the things that make you... well, you. Everything we see, hear, touch, taste, smell is... how did that philosopher put it... "through a lense tinged by the colors of existing experience." Smart guy.. knew him... what was it, two hundred years go? I think. Anyway, like I said, brilliant fellow... probably why he needed to drink all the time. It's a lot easier to see things with comforting ideas like "right" and "wrong" than to face the thought that maybe those things aren't even real.

    The vampire shrugged, nodding in agreement with Gloria. I didn't ask that necromancer to change me... though it's a hell of a lot better than what I was before.. he trailed off, then shook his head. and I don't remember too clear, but I'm fairly sure I didn't ask to get made into a vampire in the first place.

    Ozzariem says plainly. "I do believe that this world, and indeed, all worlds, would be far better off without the influence of Darkness and the Chaos that it breeds. I work toward that goal in all things I do." he chews upon a grape. "It is not right and wrong...good and evil, some call them...that I espouse, Alamandias. It is Order versus Chaos, Light versus Dark, Truth versus Deception. There are some of my race who do advocate such fancies as good and evil, but I am most certainly not one of them."
    He smiles at the vampire. "The Lumi too have philosophers among them. One of whom said '"One cannot see their reflection in running water.'"
