Weel, we's died, gots our grave, and founds sum help. lesse, a couple o' lasses, jennara 'n Jade ah think, dat undead hunter Cymeran, an' sumone named Ael. We's went back, Storan talked sum more smack, and sum of us died. So we went to ta Morky's wizzy Tower ta consult da wizzy.

He's all innocent like, so ah went tru mah portable xeen book collection, and showed 'im a few pictures an' instructions. He seemed taken aback, yet kinnae interested like.

*humming, on his way to kill more forest giants he stops. The scene before him is such a sad one, its enough to bring a tear to his eye. He sees a dark clad figure, holding a badly bleeding and broke body. He looks closer and see its that cute elf named Ash he had flirted with a few times and exchanged interesting words.*

The dark clad figure looks in his direction, he can see his lavender eyes glow a eery glow, the figure speaks "You are a priest are you not?" hawk replies "Ah am dat. wat can ah do?" the figure replies "My name is nepp..can *the figures voice breaks* can you raise her?" hawk looks over the figure in the figures arms and sighs. "Ah can try" focusing his thoughts and the magic granted him, he casts the spell. A cold shiver, icely traces a path down his spine and hawk, uncharacasticly sober replies. "Ah am sorry lad. her soul is beyond my reach, ah dun think even da gods can bring 'er back"

A shudder shakes the figures body, and he stifles a sob. "Damn it all to the nine hells!" he shouts. The figure picks up the woman, and slowly fades into the shadows, hawk hears the figures words as he leaves. "Folian. I'll bring her there...her last wish"

Drained of the effort to raise the unraisable, hawk sits down, his mood dark. Not feeling up to commiting his normal genocide of teh giants he brings out his journal and makes a short entry.

Well well.. Dis ain' a good day today. Ah cute lass ah had fun chattin wit is gone. Ah dun know who dat figure was, he said his name was nepp, ah shud ask Tyrian who 'e was. My giant killin mood is gone, but dun worry, in ah bit ah will kill a mountain of dem fer removin such a cute one from the world. Ah had hopes wit her. Ah will haf ta haf a chat wit da soul mother. Ta lef da cute ones alone, an' jus' take dem ugly ones.

Well, since ah got dis journie out, mindsa well record ah few things down.

Ah been doin' welll in huntin' malar's. Ah shud post ah note in da tradehall to offer dem pelts fer sale. Ah need ah source of gold, savin up fer ah house. Be nice ta haf a place ta store things an' fer rissy, give 'er a room, as she's always loaded wit junk. Such a wee pack rat she is. Odd how we ended up friends. Such a fun lass, cute fer a wee one. Too bad she ain' ah elf.

Oh, in a few months or so, its da event wit rhynn leadin' about dat paintin' and other stuff. Ought ta be innerstin trip.

*he closes his journal, puts it away. Takes out an elaborate silver flask adorned with elven runes, and takes a long hard drag from it, almost empting it. He sighs and makes his way back to mistone, to think*

hawklen · « **Reply #6 on:** December 03, 2006, 12:57:13 PM »

*sits quietly on a chair in malor's place, pulls out an elaborate book, the cover is adorned in sliver and semi-precious stones, in purple and yellow. Gaudy as the elf sitting there*

Well well. Dat was an' innerestin trip. We all met in wolfswood, ah kinnae dinnae pay attention, as dey couldnae decide wat ta do next. Finally we ended up at dis baroness' castle, imjam sumthing...allindor, allyfore? dun remmer. Anyways, ah think ah offended miss baroness dere, da guard escorted me ta da garden an' told me not ta lef, and read me book dere. Dinnae bother me much, as da conversation seem not ta go anywhere.

Well, ah was just sittin tehre peaceful like, when ah shadow, pretty durn big, brushed me by. Ah put me book away and proceeded ta follow it. Da bastard made me loose me spot in da book. Ah made it ta da hall, when dis ugly half-giant lad appeared with a big arse sword. He musta had it sheathed in acid or sumthin, ah figgered couldnae take 'im, as ah was unarmed in da castle, so ah dropped darkness and tried ta run. But he incatacypated me, an' last thing i remmer is him dragging me sumwhere.

When ah awoke, rudely by maev splashin water on me, ah was mighty pissed. Armed myself, and spelled all up, runnin an shouting for da bastidge ta show hisself. Seems people, but rhynn, dinnae beleive me. Lucky Rhynn did an' warned 'em it was sum idjit named boo who dun it ta me. When ah see him, ah am gunna kill him.

Well, still mighty pissed, ah left da castle, followin Vin. But haf way dere he disappeared in da shadows. Musta been da tricksters luck, ah was able ta sorta follow, keep in da general direction he was goin. Ah ended up near bone hill, invisi'd meself, ah found some weird camp. Da markings on it were da same as da dead giants an such at that envoy battle. Ah overheard sum snippets dis lady in purple, kinnae looked like a xeenie ta me, was saying. SHe said dis boo hasnt reported back yet. Dat bastidge. And missed most of it, but she kept sayin 'painting' Guess she wants it.

When ah was lefin, saw da group appeared, geared fer battle, i breifly told 'em what ah heard. Maev bein da idiot toran paladin she is, deceided ta charge da camp, ah followed behind, saw da massed forces of dem, hasted yelled ta dem ta book it, and ran me arse outta dere. Ah got sum distance, waitin fer others, they did show up, but had sum forces after dem, so ah covered dere retreat wit sum darkness, den back ta da river fer a regroup.

Well seems da idjit palidan got captured, and vin came back wit dere demands. 20,000 gold fer her, or dey removed her tongue. Ah say dey pay us da 20,000 an' keep 'er.

Well, almost fergot, me rissy came along ta, she was rather quiet, but she lived, dats a good thing.. Oh, and Rhynn was think of sum plan ta gif dat lass in purple da paintin fer dem ta move on and sum curse go wit dem or sumthing.. Pretty much decided ta regroup, and make new plans in a few weeks or sumthing.

Wish sum people listen ta me. Oh well. at least rhynn sumwhat does..

hawklen · « **Reply #7 on:** December 16, 2006, 01:17:33 PM »

Well well. Been ah good week so far. Finally had enough gold fer ah house, so ah took rissy wit me, and we picked out 249 haft lake. Nice little place. Now we are gittin gold ta put furniture and stuff innit. Ah got ah few things place, few crates an' chests, picked ah small room, an' went crazy, makin it like ah alter room. Jus' hafta put ah wet bar innit an ah am all set.

Feels pretty good ownin' yer own place. Rissy is happy ta haf ah place ta call 'er own. like da little halfling. Think back an' ah still find it odd 'ow we became friends an' that. Oh well, we make ah pretty decent team fer killin giants an' stuff.

Sumthin strange also happened ahwhile ago. Ah cute vampy mage waltzed inta town, askin were ravens is. Besides 'er bein undead an' that, she was pretty charmin'. Garent let 'er inta town, so ah guessin it was fine, so ah showed 'er da place of ravens, den she kinnae vannished in a pillar of light. Later on ah told sum lasses about it, seems dey were mighty upset, one of 'em is da wifey of jachhri, da one da vampy told me ta tell him she was lookin fer him. Seems she kilt jacchris mum or sumthin? dunno, got bored of the whole thing den promptly fergot about it all.

hawklen · « **Reply #8 on:** December 30, 2006, 02:11:30 AM »

Well well. few things ta write down. seems rhynn is enemy numero one in imjam country. Seems da baroness wants 'er dead or somethin. Oh well, missin ah good asset dere. Stupid baroness, hope she chokes on sumthin an croaks

Wat ta say. been huntin an sellin malar's, wen' an got adamentium, sell dat fer sum platinum fullplate, wat else...oh, got me a jet black horse, gunna surprise rissy wit dat one. Things goin well, killin' an' chillin' pullin a few quick jokes, hey not my fault dat guy exploded! Some mages ah tell ya. poor lad tho, maybe ah shouldnae pinned da cheatin on da mages wife on 'im. Oh well.

Time ta give me legs ah rest. Im sore in places ah dinnae know existed. be a bit till ah am used ta da horse, fine animal, tempermental, likes ta bite people. Pretty funny. Now only if da chafin goes away..

hawklen · « **Reply #9 on:** January 16, 2007, 11:23:23 PM »

Hrm hrmm. Have'n written 'ere in awhile. Not much goin' on ah can remmer. Gettin ah wee bit stronger, can summon storms ta help me out, an' ah sweet lil' celestial lass. SHes cute ah cute thing. Helpin' rissy out wit sum trainin, an' gettin 'er sum things ah think she could use. Wats da point in havin all dis gold, iffin ya not gunna spend it? Figgered she could use ah enchanted diamond eagles ring, an' ah sorcerer's ring too.

Did more stuff wit dat group, ya know, injam baronness ah wrote about earlier..hrmm, wrote that like sum one is actually reading this! *he chuckles here* Welp, went ta sum baron nearin da dark lands, seems he singed da same contract wit milara as plen did. An' centries ago! Seems sum lass did counter magic thingies, so hes basically one with his barony, not bein' able ta lef. Lost sum chalice dat sealed 'is fate, iffin we can find it, prolly uncurse or watever. Oh well, sure is entertainin.

Dat odder day travelin' wit rissy, met up wit ah groub of gnomes an' dwarfs mebe..Dinnae wanna, but rissy insisted. So we traveld along in da desert. Group o' giants, ah run it, yell out "Fire! incommin" an' casted ah firestorm. Seemed sum silly bugger ran inta da area, an' almost fried hisself. Moron. Ah wanred 'em. Shrugged said ah apologetic (somewat) oh well. Stuff happens in combat. Sure was amusin see da guy on fire, rollin on da ground tryin ta put hisself out *chuckles* Me an' rissy left dem. No fun at all. Bloody hate dwarves..dirty creatures. Dem gnomes, ah am afraid da trickster be ahshamed ta call 'em gnomes.

Been travelin' wit voon,boon,tegan, armolas an' Jin a wee bit. Fun guys..Jin, think 'e wants ta convert me ta be ah treehugger. Voon an' boon know how ta haf ah good time, an' tegs is sure ah pretty lass ta tag along. Anyways, off ta 'elp armolas wit sum silver gatherin', notice dat same group dere, we jus' passed 'em by, let 'em haf fun wit da giants. We dinnae wanna, jus' silver. Hope the whinin' bugger gets stepped on.

Hrmm, 'bout all ah can remmer at dis point. Odder den da trickster showin' me favor wit nifty new spells. The pranks ah can do now should make 'im smile some.

Odd. Odd. Was headin' in da desert cave wit da silver innit, met up wit tegan an' avar an' jin. Dey were meetin wit sum rough stuff down dere, big arse snakes, spiders. tough tough battles, teg an jin found ah mechanical device thingy on ah corpse of ah spider, so tegs took it, den we headed on up. Jin left an wen sumwhere, dunno, dun really care.

den dis weird mage waltz on up sayin he owns da cave, an' hes making magical and mecanical devices ta control does beasts.. Made ah offer ta us ta wipe out sum mercs, tegan dinnae wanna ah think, but she followed me ah beleive, mebe ta keep me safe..

It was ah tough battle, but we prevailed. Avar found sum notes statin dis was da weird mages brother, lookin fer him an wunderin why he went on ah dark path. Ooops. Oh well, since me sword was melted from some critter, da mage promised me ah new one ta replace it. Dun really bother me much. Oh, had ta dump da bodies off in da harbor. odd request.. oh well. mebe wrong choices, but it was much fun. much much fun.

Ta top it off, ah look down, an ah black dagger is sittin' on da bench, curious ah pick it up, an; felt sumthin strange. Kinda freaky, so ah ran ta da portal an' went ta da temple.

Showed Bel da dagger, said it was made outta onyx an' cursed, an' not ta lef it 'ere. ah tried droppin it, but da bloody thin' just jumped back inta me hand, den slithered inta me belt. Now, gotta find celgar or rhynn mebe ozy ta, ta tell me wat da 'ells is dis thing? ah can' get rid of it or nothin..

Foul mood, way ta da boat ta karthy, took da dagger an' knicked da dock keeper. wunner if sumthin' happens ta him? oh well. wouldnae be da first time sumthin happened ta da dock keeper. 'e does work in arabel...

Now ah got Broegar or sumone playin games wit me. bah, why'd dem so called 'eros let da bloody midget take pranzis?

So ah curse dem all, curse dem wit all da art ah have learned. *some strange flowing text is here, when looked at, it seems to shift away from the eye, appearing oily*. Excluding Tegs, who jus' accepts me as ah am.

*he slams the book shut, sighs and walks down to the docks, booking passage to karthy*

*on the boat back to leilon he opens the book back up, appends another quick entry*

Well well, finnaly 'eard from me rissy. Seems shes travelin' a wee bit. Hope she dinnae mean nuthin' 'bout lookin fer mithril..thats too dangerous fer her, she said shes doin' fine. Gotta ask 'er when ever she comes back. Miss the wee lass.

Not much goin' on, but ah do be wishin dem folks lookin' fer crap on allindor fails an' worse. Dun get ah priest like me pissed off, ah can do lots of damage, an ah hope dem barons stay cursed an' mebe die too. *he mutters a bit here*

Goin' off on ah trip soon, git mer info an' maybe git rid of dis dagger, ah be hearing dat Allei lass has ah cursed flower or sumthin' an' ah group of 'em found another cursed item. Jus' hafta see wat happens. Mebe ah can git rid of da dagger onta someone else an; let 'em deal wit it.

C'mon Rissy, mover yer behind an' git home soon..

Bah. Pyyran da harlot male elf sailor lover. 'e sumhow ended up wit ah ring, dat was cursed like ma dagger an' Allie's rose. Fer sum reason ah was fascinated wit da ring on his finger, wanted ta cut him.. Gods ah dislike dat human. When 'es old an shriveled, ah will cut his heart out an; present it ta karn. Luckily 'e gave da ring ta Allei an' she put it on da rose, shes more innerstin' den Pyyran, least ah dun wanna gank 'er...yet.

Figured ah fell unner da spell of da dagger an' somehow ended up almost killin' Allei. But thnaks ta me strong will ah was able ta slice da rose she had an' free as all. As normal, no one thank me fer solvin' da problem. Jus' more grief. Ah am gittin' tired of dis, dey all can go ta hell now, an' ah will be dere laughin' as dey go.

Port hempstead. Sucks arse. Why ah hang aroun' dere escapes me at da moment. Its worse den hlint...maybe ah stay cause ah can disturb da peace of da so called 'heros' of layonara. Ah well. Everyday carin' less an' less 'bout people....

*He sits down on the benches in hempstead, always watching he then proceeds to take out an elabroate gem incrusted book and starts to write on a clean sheet of parchment*

Well well. Met up wit kinai again in ol' hempy. Thought bout our talks on da trickster, so spur of da moment ah grabbed 'er and said we're goin' ta Arnax.

When da boat got dere, ah grabbed 'er hand an' went righ' ta da temple. She seemd impressed wit it. *he grins here* While she was occupied, ah went up ta da lass sellin' temple supplies, boutgh ah cape an' flag, wrapped it all up an; gave it to 'er.

It seemed ta make happy ah think. Ah den grabbed 'er hand again, made us invisble an; showed 'er ah bit of Xantril.

Carefully, ah crested da hill an' showed 'er da balor. Hear 'er gulped. had ta grin at dat, was contiplatin' ta attack it ta see da expression on 'er face, den remmered she'd die right quick. So ah showed 'er da drake an' giants, den da peaceful spot. High lake. After ah bit o' talkin' got me an idea an' we went ta find sum of dem ol' bloodstone rogues.

Told 'er ta git good at hidin' in da shadows, an' set 'erself ah goal in sneakin' by dem. When she feels ready, ah will take 'er back an' cut 'er loose. Swim or sink. *he chuckles softly, closes his book and heads into the ethreal*
