*the paragraphs on this page are scattered throughout the page in no perticular order* *the page also looks worn and old somehow* All it takes is a little faith. I was walking through Hampshire one day when I met up with 2 people that would change my life forever. Herman, and Chris Chiro. Herman was a fellow priest of Lady Lucinda like myself and Chris was a swordsman of some type, he carried around a giant sword and swung it insanely hard. Well, anyway, we decided to try and get some platinum in the Battle Fens, I cast my protective spells and we easily dispatched the first group of lizards, but, of course, something went wrong, I don't rightly recall it but Chris got shot down by a barrage of arrows and Herman shortly after. I ran, but the sticky swamp sucked my feet in and shortly after I died too. I found myself laying on the ground near the bind stone in Hlint and ran back to Hampshire. I rested and prepared to bring them back from the Plane of the Lost, the lizards had regrouped and were blocking my way to get to my friends, so I developed a plan to try and sneak by them. I summoned my new golem and as he distracted the lizards I ran past them into the next section. I prayed to Lady Lucinda and brought them both back to our plane. We easily fought our way out and ended up in Hampshire. Chris and Herman thanked me greatly and Herman even went so far as to give me a platinum ring. A true sign of friendship among priests. To this day I still have that ring. Kata... how I remember her vividly. So open to life, so true hearted. An inspiring scorceress of Lady Lucinda. Gone...all gone, disappeared one day, never to return. Hard times after that my life that was. I shut myself away, to my god, to everyone, yet I remained hopeful that she would return one day, or at least give me a sign. Never. The sign. I was in Fort Hope one day comming from the Broken Forest when a lady came by, Lia was her name. She asked me if I would come with her to certain death, "chasing a demon" that was haunting her mind she said, I didn't care anymore, my life was over. I followed her into Xantril, land of Xandrial and Bloodstone. Left we took, from the dreary lake, into a red mist that sucked your breath out of you. I prepared us both for the impossible as we walked for a bit, eyes open, watching, waiting for our deaths. I summoned my Lady's powers, to this day I can't believe She was there for me, and called a golem, later called Lightning, unto this plane, a moment later a giant appeared out of the mist and came charging. Lia cast a holding spell as my golem and I charged the giant head on, dropping it within a few seconds. Neither of us smiled at our skill, or luck, and we trudged on through the mist. As we traveled farther we dropped several giants by the same method and finally came upon a group too large for us to handle. We rested and and prepared, and as the last spell was cast several giants flanked us from behind. Stupid...they knew we were here, we were in their home. My golem dropped as soon as I summoned it and we ran. I was but two steps from my spot when blackness took me. I woke up next to Lia...weak and spent. We traveled back. Bruenor and Kaizer. It was about a month after my expedition to Xantril when I wandered into Velensk, alive and still thinking. I was muttering to myself when I hear "Git da bloody bas'terds!" and a bang of metal against metal. This small mass of muscle was shouting at a full grown human man! I walked closer and noticed the man holding his sides laughing. The dwarf turned with a "Bah!" and he walked, muttering, towards me. "Wat yer do dere lad?" The short dwarf, staring up at me, said "I am a priest." I replied. "Well git yer arse over 'ere den" Shruging, I followed the dwarf to the human who was smiling widely now. "Dis 'ere is ah priest" He said to the human as he walked next to his side. "Kaizer Thell is my name, and this here...errr thing is Bruenor." Kaizer said, still with a boyish grin on his face. "Sand Krows" I replied. "Ya, ya lets git some o' dem giants now" Bruenor said impatiently. "Are you going to join us Sand?" Shruging I agreed and followed them into the mountains. I cast protective wards and other strength enhancing things as I studied them both. Bruenor was about 4' 3" and stock, probably all muscle. He had a long brown, greying, beard that he took great pride in. His eyes had a grey-blueish tint to them, a life that has seen too much and felt too little. Kaizer was about my height and weight with a darker brown colored hair than Bruenor's. His eyes were sky blue with a light in them, a light of adventure I call it. We killed all the giants in the mountain easily and headed back out to the Fort. At that moment, Bruenor grinning from ear to ear and covered in giant gore and Kaizer smiling the same, I knew that this was a path, a new future I could start at. The Cave. If I remember correctly it was Derrick, Brue, myself, and about 3 others that I do not remember, well anyway, we decided to take a little trip into the deeper regions of Berhagen. We were having a grand time slaughtering giants by the hundreds and asking for more. We arrived at the Berhagen cave full of spirit and cockiness, I guess you could say, we buffed at the cave entrance and ran on into the caves with ease, slaughtering giants the same as the surface, until we came upon the last huge group of giants and their leader. We lured a few at a time and picked them off until their numbers were few then we charged and killed the rest. We celebrated our victory and rested. But as always our cockiness was overbearing our heads so we thought nothing of an ambush. About 20 giants rushed in and slaughtered the lot of us besides myself and as an act of desperation, I ran. I prayed the whole time I ran and by the time I got to the entrance the giants were gone. Disappeared into thin air, Lady Lucinda came through to me yet again and asked for nothing in return. I prayed yet again to ask for my friends souls back and Lady Lucinda, as always, came through for me. They were all brought back and sent directly to me. We walked out nothing in our path directly to Lady Lucinda's temple.
