    It begins, Mal`nak feels himself think almost like the words that would come out to speak to those he shall approach. Feeling the evil beginning to take shape and threaten him and all the worlds at large.
    He forces himself to Coalesce into a form more suited to the task he must undertake knowing he must not allow this to happen and must take action even if doing so may expose himself in the long run.
    He spreads his awareness across the limitless space that is himself and feels for all that are apart of him in some way. Feeling for the spark of change a few specks appear in the void. He follows each and in an instant reads their lives as it would have played out if he didn’t interfere and charge them with this quest.
    He disregards some of the sparks as their brilliance comes too bright and the worlds they would have come from would need them so he seeks deeper and finds more. Lesser sparks of change. It would not be right after all to disrupt a universe even if it would have the chance of saving it. Finding some acceptable sparks who while would have some effect. They would not have one that would span globally or larger in their native realm.
    Finding acceptable sparks he forces his being smaller to a space that is so small it nearly matches the size of the sparks and he feels diminished just from the attempt. Next he follows the flows of time and picks a moment in each of their. “lives is it” he wonders at such a term the concept still hard for him to grasp he watches various versions of each of their lives flowing through each version of them looking for just the right one, following the time passage of each then jumping to the Next string of time and watching the events again much the same each only having subtitle differences from the past all are of the same life but the differences were there.
    Finally deciding on one of the elements of the persons total being they will never them selves realize he sends a second of himself to appear before them. Then begins the search again knowing he will need more then just one aspect of change for there to be a chance of success.

    In the begging I saw the world as a gem to be taken and held in the loving grasp of my house. But over time I saw the truth and was cast out of my homeland sent to wonder the world. For I was not like my kind. I’ve spent my time being train in the world. I was shown the path to my nature in the bottom of the slums and gutter that infest the world. I now set out on the on the one true quest of all quest, to find my place in this world. A movement of a shadow on my right hand side caches my eye

    I waken form a deep sleep. I think to myself {A funny feeling this sleep and was it all a dream}. I stand up and look around and see others fast asleep on the ground. {ok must not have bin a dream}.
    I want to a get a feel for this new area and walk around for a bit. As I walk for a bit, I see a massive amount water all around me and a cliff that rises up beyond even my site. As I start to explore the cliff I find a crack that mite be a cave. {maybe I should back and wait for the other to awaken}. I start to head back to the others.

    Havain Verail (elven ranger):

    The banging on the cabin door awakes Havain. With a grumble he shuffles across the floor of the decrepit old cabin and opens the door, careful to ensure it stays on its hinges this time. Waiting patiently is Garys, a friend of Havain's since their youth. Garys looks at Havain's dishevelled hair and sighs.

    "You know you could just meditate, like everyone else."

    Havain smiles. "Sometimes there's something to be said for a warm bed. Why did you wake me? It's still dark."

    "There's word of a small orc raiding party on the north edge of the forest...apparently one of the human settlers' farms has been burned. We were hoping you'd go check it out and warn us if there were any danger of them entering the woods."

    Havain curses. "Stupid. Of all the bloody...oh, not you...I, I mean why would, y'know...who said they could, well, come, or at least, uh, oh whatever. I'll head out right away."

    Garys keeps any comments at Havain's incoherance to himself. He'd known Havain long enough to barely even notice. He hands Havain a blank scroll and writing tool. "Just make notes on this."

    Havain takes the items, then quickly gathers his belongings. Most are already packed, so it takes little time. Ready to go, he nods at Garys, then takes off northward at a jog. The elven community is in no danger, he thinks, but it's probably best to keep an eye on them.

    Dereck von Braun(merchant)

    In the westgate market a merchant is stalling his wares, fine wines, Dereck von Braun. It was not a good day for him to do business, he was still sore from the fight the other night. Sure the guy that tried to rob him learned the effectiveness of Derecks daggers, but Dereck too had been injured.

    I better take a different road home tonight

    He better should, thieves were getting an ever increasing grip on the city, rumours of night masks were fast spreading, and he'd allready refused to pay them protection money.

    --------------------------
    Later or earlier, in an other time and place

    Dereck wakes and stands up, seeing water stretching to the horison in all but a single direction. Another seemed to have woken up.

    "Great, sleeping next to water...just my luck. Ow and hi, I'm Dereck."

    He aproaches the other his hand streched out to shake the hand his new companion.

    Phaedrc's eyes flutter open and he surreptitiously glances around. He seems to be in a glade of some sort, in a place he's never been, and there are a few people standing around and talking. He senses no evil from them, but it's better to be cautious. He stands up, and calls a greeting to the group. "Hello, my name is Phaedric, and who be ye?" He suddenly remembers what's happened, and why he's here. He collapses on the ground again, overcome with emotion. Tears threaten to overflow, but he manages to suppress them and blink them away.

    "Pleased to meet you Phaedric, I am Dereck, Dereck von Braun. I assume you are one of those send to help me on my endeavours in these lands."

    Dereck sounds completely serious, warm and friendly to Phaedric. Moving over to him he puts his hands on the mans shoulders.


    "Don't worry, things will improve. These lands are full of opportunity for us. Like a second chance."

    "Th-thank you," stutters Phaedric as he accepts the proffered hand. "Forgive me if I seem distracted. I've been through quite a bit just now," he explains in a shaky voice. Phaedric takes a deep breath and composes himself as he stands to his feet. "I was not aware there were others. Were each of you approached by the figure cloaked in darkness?"

    <Anyone will have noticed by now with little looking around that the sun is strange its a deep red but seams Very much larger then any of your home planets, in addition you may find it strange that there are no sea birds at all. The cliff Behind all of you stretches up beyond sight. As does the ocean on three sides of you. the ocean also seams calm, anyone who would have seen the ocean before can Make a Wisdom Check -2 to notice that the water seams impossibly deep and as such you may doubt there is any form of tide. The edge of the outcropping just drops off strait to the water with no form of a beach. Watching the ocean for a while you can notice in the distance the water does get disturbed by large creatures moving under the surface but none approach the outcropping you all find your selves on. Initial exploration of the cave reveals it is a little bit of a squeeze but it does open into a larger single path cave system.>

    From out of the shadows behind Phaedric, you see before you a man dressed in all black studded leather, a black mask and a black cloak. “Good, it seems you all are wake now. Let me introduce myself, you may call me Larry for my true name is going to be very hard for a lot of you to say in you crude vocabulary.” He slowly walks up and checks everyone else out. For those that paid closely to the man’s face mask you see violet eyes behind the mask and a single white hair drifts in the wind over the mask.

    Moogy, a stout, simple Dwarf from the Hills, feels his eyelids grow a little less heavy as they struggle to lift. His vision is a bit blurred, and everything appears turned on it's side...or is it *Moogy*, who's side is turned?

    "Ooo...meee.....ayyken head..."

    Moogy eases himself upright, and quickly, feverishly pats his pockets, frantically searching for something.

    "Where are ye?!? Where are ye?!?!? Ah-ha! There ye are! Me best work yet, couldn't lose ya so soon, before I get ye ta me boy."

    As of late, Moogy has found himself with some free time, away from his family, mainly his son, and away from the trails of adventure. He has been improving his woodworking skills, by carving little figurines out of chunks of wood, into game pieces for his son to play with. This latest "best work yet" just so happens to bare a very striking resemblance to ol' Moogy himself - a brave Dwarven Fighter with his Axe held high.

    "So, where'd that thing take me? All I know is things were a'going backwards...err...something...it's all pretty cloudy, still."


    Moogy, did comprehend during his "flight" that he *was* traveling back through time, or at least that's how he saw it. He recalled part of the reason he was so anxious to join this strange being on his trip was to do anything he could to "save them all." He of course was thinking first of his son (who may or may not have been involved in this stranger's story at all), and his race, the Dwarves. The stranger had told him they were near extinct, and needed Moogy's help. So this apparent "time-travel" actually made sense to the simple-minded Dwarven Warrior. If he could travel back before the Great Evil the stranger spoke of overtook them, maybe that's just what the strange being had in store for him. He wasn't completely sure, but it's all could piece together at this point.

    "Now, did that being drop me here? Is this where he wanted me to go? Where is he now? And more so, who are all ye?


    He approcaches the others he sees in his midst, gathering their own senses and seemingly greeting each other.

    "Heya folks! I'm 'Moogy the ' ...err... 'Moogy of Clan '...err....uhm .... 'Moogy'."

    Phaedric smiles at those around him. "It's nice to meet you all." He glances around and notices someone asleep still. He walks over and gently shakes her awake.

    "Ahhh... what? What happened?" The elven woman mutters as she comes to. She is a slender thing, finely toned and unmarred, save a long scar across her left cheek, running parallel to her jaw.

    Coming to with a start, she bolts up defensively... shoving the man touching her away and climbing to her feet quickly.

    "What's going on? Where am I?" She said, panicked... hands on the paired long blades she wore across her back. "What trickery is this?"

    Phaedric recoils, startled. "No trickery is afoot m'lady. As far as I can gather, each of us is here to fight a great evil. Speaking of here, where are we?" Phaedric glances around at the red sun, the ocean, and the cliff.

    Phaedric turns his attention to Larry. "There are caves, you say? In the cliff? That seems convenient, as, at least from here, the only other way to go would be into the water..." He glances around again, and peers toward the sun. It seems to be...

    rolling a Wis check to tell the time

    (1d20-1)[6]

    It seems to be about noon. And it seems that the sun hasn't moved since I've awoken.

    Phaedric says to Larry, "Come, let's explore these caves you speak of. It may lead us to somewhere on the other side of that cliff." He starts walking toward the cliff at a brisk pace, his armor clanking all the way.

    "I... wait, what?"

    The elven woman will shift demeanor from defensive to simply confused.

    "I don't know what is going on here. Are you saying that you do not as well?" She spoke, gazing about at her sorroundings. "I was tricked and led here by a... It wore the guise of an elf, but it was like nothing I have seen. It spoke about evil and something that pursued me... I believe. Know you all nothing?"

    Moogy hefts his axe over one shoulder and safely pockets his wood carving.

    "Well, unless ye feel like going for a swim, I guess we may as well see what's in that cave."

    He starts with a spring in his step, knowing full well his short legs will be pumping to keep up with some of these taller, more slender folks.

    { the cave is relatively easy to get into but it does require the removing of backpacks and such to slip in while wearing your armor. the cave system is dry and continues in the same general direction those with direction since will have decided this direction is north. the walls appear to be natural though the stone will interest anyone with an aptitude for it. its a type of Slate they will mention having never seen it in such quantity before it takes about 3 hours of a good pace till you reach the other end of the cave system uneventfully. before the exit is a large patch of light that filters down through the Rock about 10 feet from the end of the cave. it may be possible for smaller members to stay out of the light and circle around to the other side but not everyone in your group would be able to.
    Through the cave mouth those with elvan eyes will see that the grass is natural though growing a little wild beyond the cave exit. And beyond in extreme distance you see the beginnings of a forest and possibly what may be a road. }

    Phaedric sees the light and exclaims "At last! It's high time we're back out in the open!" He stumbles out of the cave into the clearing. "Now that we're out of there, we can talk a little bit. M'lady, you said you approached by something under the guise of an elf and recruited to fight an evil of some sort, yes? I too was approached, only the figure was cloaked in the darkness and shadows themselves!" He turns to the others and asks "And the rest of you?"

    eek Re: Woe.

    {As Phaedric any anyone else who may have walks into the light before the cave exit. There’s a loud Rustling sound heard above some rainbow colored feathers begin to fall from overhead. A few moments later another larger sound is heard outside the cave it almost sounds like wings but there appears to be a lot of them. Above Phaedric and anyone stepping outside the cave with him a cloud begins to take shape. Anyone looking up will see the cloud is swarming from what appears to be massive amounts of nests in the cliff wall outside the entrance to the cave. The swarm already massive continues to grow as more of them gather together from the nests till they completely block out the sun above the swarm begins to look like its moving down towards Phaedric coming in from the east.}

    "I don't understand any of this..." Tyrielle spoke, as she moved through the cave. "If there is some great evil to face... why does this thing that asks this of us not show himself to explain?"

    Finally, the cave disappears, as light overtakes the party. Squinting against the light, she stepped out from the cavern, and gazed around warily. The sudden surge of movement caught her eye, as several creatures moved in her direction. Then several more... then several more.

    "We can not fight so many! We need to seek cover!" Tyrielle yelled above the din of the swarm, "We must flee!"

    She stood poised to do just that, giving the others only a second to choose if they would follow her, or not.

    Phaedric shouts out, "Everyone run! I'll see if I can hold it off!" Whatever it is... he thinks to himself. He crouches down and crosses his swords over him, ready to spring into the oncoming attack. He silently sends a prayer of fortitude and protection to Helm.

    Moogy's jaw drops as he witnesses his party split at their very first encounter together.

    He squints to try to see exactly what the "cloud" is, to gauge whether or not he should seek cover. The colored feathers on the ground initially intrigued him, but this new rustling and amassing of forms has his full attention now.

    He sees Phaedric and realizes that he must not leave a comrade to face an unknown alone. He will stand along side him if he must....or grab him and drag him away if this "cloud" threatens.

    He strains to visually make sense of what is happening.
