Rumour Has It / Re: Darkness descends on Arnax
« on: February 27, 2011, 06:17:49 pm »
A few days later heavily armed and armored Ravens begin to march north from the city on their demonic steeds. Whispered rumors state that the forces of the Mad One and the Destroyer are descending upon Holar, though these words are of course unfounded. What is obvious however is what is left in their wake. As far as the eye can see, stretching from the cities gate along the northern path, crucified cultists line the road. Though their dieing moans of agony can be heard for days after, their fate is a pleasant one compared to those who were taken within Tower Vereor itself.

A message is being sent to those who would seek to claim what is not theirs to trifle with, cultist or otherwise.

The sickening sound of steel rending through flesh filled his ears. With a smile he steeped back to examine his handiwork. The pile of corpses had a new arrival; a tattered and bloodstained banner to the Dark Lord, which flew proudly from its base of death, a testament to a night filled with bloodshed.

He moved quickly through the wreckage of the former command post, passing dead cultist and Raven alike. After a few minutes of searching, he spotted his goal, the battered and broken body of the cultist commander, still clinging to life through shear fear of what lay after. He moved slowly to the body, pausing only for a second to slam his great sword through the chest of a badly wounded cultist, sending a scarlet spay over his already gore splattered armour. He bent over to grab the commander by the neck, dragging his weakened form into the air. The commander’s face turned purple, his eyes bulging out of his skull as the life was strangled from him. Vainly he beat upon the hands that were choking him, whilst spluttering out a sentence.


“The Queen... said. *cough*... Why?”


The commander’s lifeless body was dropped to the ground with a dull thump. He pulled out a short sword, and went about the grisly task of extracting the commander’s skull. It would make a fitting new death mask.


“Suffer not the Indigni to live.”

Maybe not the weak sanity your foolish, pathetic morals would dictate, but a true sanity where the human condition has no place! Mawhahaha! MAWHAHA! *cough cough* Anyway... nicely written. Its a shame this isn't a viable option for PCs though.

Hey Mix,

I'd like to request the third and final CDQ (hopefully) needed for Jehoram. PM sent.

Okay my bad, should have clarified that before.

For the time being PC's can continue to use Nith and Arnax for general play but I'd like to ask you to RP that you entered Belinara via Albon.

Of course in quest and gm led situations Arnax and Nith are both closed to players and controlled by nesar and the Cult. Only access to allied troops is from the eastern side of Belinara.

Hilm can still supply through Albon.


So what about us guys in black? Can we still move about freely? Also see my other post here:

There are three avatars of Mortis Mentis. Know them and fear them, but also learn from them that you do not make the same mistakes should you be the next.


Gotta keep reaching for those stars.

*He stood there unmoving, like an ornately carved statue watching all who passed by with a weary glance. Hooded acolytes rushed by, eager to complete unknown tasks and not to draw attention from the faceless helm of the armored giant. Other dark figures marched pass clad in similar dark plate, saluting the statue like man before continuing down the dimly lit corridor. Silence descended, and what seem like an age passed before a new presence emerged. The skeleton warrior approached slowly, methodically, the clacking of its heels on the stone floor marred by the sound of scraping metal made by the large blade dragged behind it. A blade that seemed like an exact replica of his own. In its left claw like hand a roll of parchment was clutched, sealed with wax and embossed with a mark he knew all to well. Eventually its skull stooped a few feet from his own face, its hollow eye sockets somehow conveying a look of anguish. Slowly it raised the parchment for him to receive, how own armored gauntlet almost crushing its hand as he took it.*


Raven,

Have you forgotten the bargain you maid so long ago? He grows impatient, every second that passes here is an eternity of torment for him. Finish what you started. Shed the traditional black, discretion is far more important than tradition in this matter. Nightmare waits for you outside.

~S~



*He moved forward, allowing the skeleton to take up his former position. Resolutely he made his way up the corridor, to a sun he had not seen in many years.*

Sanctus Mortis,


As per your request, here is my account of the events that took place regarding the events after my last message (I trust you revived it).

The reason for the request of the Black Wizards has become clear, it seems that the artefact which they sort was not discoverable by any means magical (more on that later). I mentioned in my last report a shaman named Fengil, it was he who led us onwards along our path at the request of the Paladin Lance Stargazer. The party numbered several of our enemies but at the unspoken request of Steel I remained unmolested. Fengli led us deep into the mountains and for a number of days we walked in silence in a vast circle until he deemed us worthy to peruse this 'dream of rebirth'.

We were led to a hidden cavern entrance deep within the mountains and bade enter. So began a journey deep under the earth's crust, and according to a dwarf, under the sea bed as well. The tunnels were long, twisting, winding, ad full of death. Undead roamed freely, earth elements attacked without warning, but still we pressed onwards towards an unknown goal. Eventually we came upon dwarven  territory, a mining expedition centuries old. Rusted tools littered the floor, yellowed bones were scattered at random and at the end, a well leading to a second level.

It is here that the truth became apparent. We entered a gigantic series of dwarven halls, filled with rotting animated corpses. Finally Sanctus Mortis, this 'dream of rebirth' showed its true form. A blood pool.

It appears that the Black Wizards knew this well, as there were remains of a former expedition of theirs. A nearby ruined statue of our lord had this inscription carved upon it:



“Lord of unliving shells, see the blood flowing oven the alter and know that I kill for you. I beseech you to grant me the power to raise this husk to be my servant, you who know my true name. In the name of your corruptions, pain and power”


These were the words of the Black Wizard Logan Shofield.

The indigni, after learning of the nature of Steels agreement gnashed their teeth and whined pathetically as is their way, but they complied and accompanied Steel to inform the Black Wizards (the area around the blood pool its self was protected from discovery by magical means, which explains a lot). It was myself and the Aeridinite Razeriem who remained to oversee the pool itself. A week passed ad we were forced to band together  against the constant attacks of the undead. I am surprised that Aeridin looks with favour upon this one after the things he has done. Still I like to think the seeds of doubt have been planted if not by myself, then by his own actions.

Finally the wizards showed themselves and we were taken aside for 'questioning'. Me, a Raven of the Grave Lord treated like some common indignus? I assure you, if my path ever leads me into a similar position but with myself as the 'power' I will treat our allies with as much respect as they gave me. They 'allowed' me to leave (such a thought!) and as such I have returned here. The alliance between the Black Wizards and the aptly named 'Big Red' as now set, their target the Green Dragon Cult. I must return soon to aid Dr. Vensk, any other requests must be sent soon before I return to Mistone.


Your humble servant,

Raven

I think there's only one way to put this... MAUHAHAHAHA! (congrats)

Revelations come in many forms, and can have many effects. It is the way we deal with them though that show our true character.

It has been over two years now that I have searched tirelessly for these artefacts. I chased mad dwarfs though Whitehorn forest, battled demi-liches in their lairs, deceived Toranites into doing my bidding, sacrificed both my body and my mind to this cause and now? Now that has finished. Was it time wasted? Perhaps, perhaps not. All paths lead to death, but those that writhe in chaos are most pleasing to the Mortis Mentis.

It saddens me to know that such a work could be destroyed by a Gold Dragon lover. An insult to all involved. But the irony of being betrayed in turn by the Toranites? Now that is amusing. I had always thought that the Toranites would hold true to their weak ideals, but it seems we are more alike than I first thought. There may be hope for them  yet. But, unfortunate, it seems I have failed in my task. One is destroyed, the others unreachable. In our walk of life there are no second chances, failure is met with death.

Yet it's not over. I have spoken with him, I have spoken with Mechidli. He is a twisted creature, raked with pain from his imprisonment on the planes. He has not forgotten what Quantum did to him and seeks retribution, something which, perhaps I can provide... for a price. Socha, after revealing his true nature has taught me well of the path of the Raven. I have been awarded the full black plate and a Nightmare steed from the city of Arnax. My work is beginning to pay off, but for the moment it must be put aside.

The Doctor calls, it is time.

« on: June 08, 2010, 06:00:29 pm »
This sounds interesting, lasting character effecting changes is right up Jehoram's ally (as I'm sure some of you know... pseudonym ;) ). However I do have one concern. In your intro you say that this would be open to all alignments and faiths. Yet the player population is vastly in favour of what I like to call 'heroic' types, meaning that most likely that the majority of the eight would be said heroic types. I guess my fear is that if I was to attened, would my character be sidelined in the quest as his actions/views would be most likely the complete opposite of the party?

Hey, thanks for that. I would have been pretty positive that an admin posted or spoke to the contrary before, and that they were on the same timer.


They did indeed, but there you go ;) .
