Darghon watches in shock as the Wyvern bursts into flame..
"That wasn't cased by any of us Vinoh.." Darghon looks at him "Unless you have some pyrokenitc abilities you aint telling me about" Darghon grins.. still invisible but grins "And vinoh, I think it'd be time to make your into the spire, cause if I know dragons like I know dragons.. It's going to be really really pissed"

Bob Biter · 08-27-2003, 04:38 PM

Surprised by the sudden onslaught and following Darghon's sound advice, Vinoh enters the spire and prepares himself to unleash a mind bolt upon the Wyvern. Someone had taken it upon themselves to attack, so now the only option was to finish it off.

*Psychic power: mind bolt*

Apokx · 08-27-2003, 05:00 PM

"I am attacking NOW!"

Rapping three times on his shield,an invisible bubble surrounds Attrah.Inside the sphere it is calm,no wind..no rain.

"Anyone near me will benefit from the same protection,everyone is welcome..so gather around."

Waiting for those coming along for the ride,the knight begins to make his way toward the wyvern.Attrah leads the way,using his shield as cover for himself and his companions.

Drawing his sword,the knight hopes to take the Wyvern by suprise..or at least get a swipe in before being bitten in two.

GoldenOuroboros · 08-27-2003, 05:24 PM

Darghon.. thinking it maybe too late tries to make contact with the Wyven telepathically hoping that this species has the ability.. in his native tongue Dragonese (Elvish to some) he telepathically says "Please excuse my Friends, we had nothing to do with the initial attack on you.. Be ye Friend or Foe?"

Darghon flies out near to where the Wyvern can see him to communicate with him, disbanding his invisibility and casts impervious to fire on himself protecting him from all types of flame..

Beltruckus · 08-27-2003, 05:44 PM

"Hmm well at least I got it off the roof, I think I just pissed it off lets give this another go" Kentelos thinks.

Again Kentelos's eyes begin to shift colors as 3 balls of fire take shape around him spinning around him faster and faster. He appears to be concentrating very hard on nothing at all. Suddenly the balls of fire launch towards the wyvern slamming into his body in large fiery explosions.

They wyvern while singed is not hurt terribly, but decides to find a different perch to escape the sour weather.

"Looks like I'm still not alone"

"HAIL"

As he says this he opens his arms to show he is unarmed, although he does have a tiny grin while doing this.

Apokx · 08-27-2003, 06:47 PM

The creature now in flight,the knight halts a moment.
It was no longer on the ground,so D'Aleen and Thantos would no doubt begin to use ranged weaponry.
Standing still,the knight keeps his shield on guard,and the bubble up.
The storm would not interfere with their attacks.

rogue49 · 08-28-2003, 04:16 AM

* You see the Wyvern fly away in a panic over the cliffs into the far woods.
Screeching in pain & fear.

From under the hollowed half-turret comes a figure not quite that visible through the weather.

Those persons near Attrah seem to be sheilded from wind & rain of the storm.
A large sphere centered around the dark knight where the rain stops.*

krazixs · 08-28-2003, 12:42 PM

"Well that takes care of one problem, now let's see if our new comer is friend or foe"

GoldenOuroboros · 08-28-2003, 11:42 PM

Darghon flies over to the where this new person is.. "Good day to you sir... Now.. who might you be?" Darghon raises an eyebrow.. hovering just in front of the being

Beltruckus · 08-29-2003, 07:55 AM

"Well it's a day at least. My name is Kentelos Ma'Char, I belong to an order of wizards who focus purely on all that is fire".

As he says this he bows deeply. You may also notice that Kentelos has no hair that you can see, although most of his body is covered in a black robe with flames running up the sides, arms, and front. Also if you look closely you can see the rain hissing on his skin as if it was very hot.

"I was merely trying to escape this unpleasant weather. Now..I have said who I am, might I ask the same curtesy of you?"

GoldenOuroboros · 08-29-2003, 10:24 AM

"My name is Darghon, I am one of the race of were dragons.." Darghon nods his head slightly "Thankyou for helping us out with our winged friend back there.."

"Another thing.. how did you come to be in this castle?"

As he hears this,Attrah speaks up.
"Darghon,if you would be so kind as to invite our new guest over this way.We can all escape the rain while questions are asked and answered."

ooc:I keep the shield activated to keep us dry

Beltruckus · 08-29-2003, 11:20 AM

"Yes, well, he looked like he was cold so I decided to warm him up a bit. I...hope he wasn't really your friend..? I really don't know the relationships between your kind. And as for being hear, well I was travelling through the forest on personal business when I came upon a large body of fog, I made a hole through it by heating the air and saw some sort of structure ahead of me. Did I mention my focus is fire? I think you can appreciate that can't you? Can you work fire? Oh yes, well I came upon this castle and the storm started. My curiosity was already peaked and the storm just made it convenient to seek shelter and quench my curiosity. I came in and started wandering around and eventually made it up here. Seemed safer than actually in the castle, I didn't see anything but I sensed it. Anyways I've told you my story, how about yours?

Looks over at the sound of the strange voice

"hmm yes seems you have a little party going."

krazixs · 08-29-2003, 11:45 AM

The small elf huddles within the protective aura of Attrah's shield. Shivering from the cold rain that had too late sunk into his robes,
Krazixs tries to rub some warmth into his numb appendages.

". . .well I was travelling through the forest on personal business when I came upon a large body of fog, I made a hole through it by heating the air and saw some sort of structure ahead of me. . ."

Krazixs listen's partially to the conversation going on when something strikes him as odd.

"Do you think you could inform us of any news from the surronding countryside?"

The small elf looks at the bald man infront of him with one eyebrow raised.

Beltruckus · 08-29-2003, 11:58 AM

"If you are asking for news, unfortunately that was part of my business that I have yet to complete. But i notice that you seem a bit cold, if you would like I can warm the air inside this knights protective covering. And if you really want to trust me I can specifically warm you up personally. There is no danger to you or anyone else, in me doing this."

Kentelos heats up the air inside the protective cover without waiting for an answer.

Apokx · 08-29-2003, 12:08 PM

Watching Darghon and Kentelos hover in mid-air,Attrah knew that his comrades would ask all that needed to be known.

The knight had little use for formal introductions anymore.His invite to join them was purely etiquette.
The dark knight took some time to scan what he could see,for good measure.
Although he had to admit,this place was full of suprises.
If Kentelos were an image,a hoax..it would not suprise Attrah.

Turning again to the horizon,the knight looked to the night sky.The rain pounded away at the bubble,never ending.

GoldenOuroboros · 08-29-2003, 11:50 PM

"Attrah, you should learn to enjoy the rain my friend, for it is one of the givers of life.." With that he gives Attrah a grin and a wink, turning back to Kentelos, "Yes I can work fire.. But can you levitate?" Darghon looks around for his friend Vinoh "If not I think maybe one of us could help you over.. if you can.. come over to where the main part of the group is.."

Darghon ventures back tothe spire where Vinoh is.. Looking in the hole in the roof he whispers to Vinoh "So.. what do you think of the new comer? And do you think we should check out the rest of these spires?" Darghon looks down into the spire..

Beltruckus · 08-30-2003, 09:26 AM

Kentelos raises his voice so that it will reach Darghon

"Actually sir I have been working on a way to project myself short distances but I really do not want to try it at these heights... yet. I probably coud use some assistance on getting to your main group, then hopefully we can have formal introductions."

Kentelos waits patiently for....something to happen.

Cubby · 08-30-2003, 01:51 PM

After watching flames suddenly burst forth from below the Wyvern, Thantos was immediately put on the defensive, looking for the source of the blast. Unable to find it and hearing Attrah start to attack, Thantos felt it was best to follow along. Making sure that D'Aleen was near he followed Attrah towards the Wyvern. As they approached and the Wyvern started to come towards them, Thantos raised his crossbow and fired. Unfortunately, the strong wind pushed his shot well off target and the bolt continued on into the forest. Cursing under his breath, Thantos bent down and re-cocked his crossbow. Placing another bolt into the bow he looked up and saw the second blast of fire and the Wyvern flying away.

Now concerned that whomever had attacked the Wyvern was now going to attack them Thantos looks around for the source. Seeing a strange man approaching he raised his bow and was about to shout out to the man when Darghon approached him. Feeling that Darghon would handle the situation Thantos kept his guard up and his mouth shut.

Before the man could get up to the rest of the party up on the wall Thantos says to Attrah, D'Aleen and Krazixs...

"I think we should be very wary about any new members that want to join our party in this god-forsaken place. I agree that I was wrong about Tower initially but once again I have to say I am quite suspicious of powerful mages suddenly coming out of nowhere. Keep sharp everyone."

GoldenOuroboros · 08-31-2003, 01:05 AM

Darghon hops down into the spire where Vinoh is situated and looks around for anything of interest...

Minx · 08-31-2003, 09:33 AM

After following Thantos, Attrah & Krazixs closely and watching the wyvern's mysterious attack and flight away D'Aleen inspects this strange newcomer. Naturally mistrustful with any creature or person they come across she does not yet put her bow away but moves closer to Thantos.

"I agree with you Thantos. I don't think we can afford to trust any creature or person we come across quite yet. Obviously he isn't an immediate threat as he and Darghon seem to be communicating. I'd suggest we get out of these elements and meet up with the newcomer and the others inside the castle. Then perhaps we can determine just what his intentions are."

Bob Biter · 08-31-2003, 09:35 PM

Vinoh watches the mysterious mage's introduction warily from the arrow slit of the spire. He then finds himself sharing the collective sense of apprehension stemming from the rest of his group. This stranger was powerful and seemed to have the forces of fire under his command...

Upon the arrival of Darghon to the spire, Vinoh addresses him:

"I don't know, Darghon... We sure could use a fire mage against the undead, but I'm still wary of anything popping out of nowhere, no matter what assistance is offered. Fo that reason, I think we should go back to the group with this... Kentelos. Exploring the spires further would divide our group for too long, plus it's not like they could back us up if we ran into anything up there, like a pissed off Wyvern returning for some payback..."

Using his telekinesis, Vinoh slips out the spire and heads down to the group. As he approaches the fire mage, he lifts him up as well to transport him to where the rest of the group waits.

"Thanks for your help. Now let's get you down to a more manageable area. I am Vinoh Madren of the Mind's Eye Guild, pupil to the great Mind Master Lanodin. I hope to remain pleased to meet you, fire mage..."

GoldenOuroboros · 08-31-2003, 10:14 PM

Darghon nods in agreement to Vinohs words... "Yeah true.." Darghon leaps up and grabs onto the edge of the hole in the roof.. hoping that that would support his weight, yet falls back on his ass.. "#@$!" Darghon levitates himself out of the hole and then flies back to the rest of the group his butt throbing the whole way..

Darghon rubs his butt a lil.. "So my companions.. where we off to now?"

Apokx · 08-31-2003, 10:55 PM

Attrah watches Darghons's display with a look of slight confusion.
Then,a slight smirk began to form on the knight's face.Not a smile,but definately an improvement from his grim disposition.

"If no one else suggests anything,heading inside would be a good idea,as D'Aleen said."

Minx · 09-01-2003, 05:43 AM

D'Aleen hesitates before approaching the mage newly come to their group. Still she is mistrustful but then remembers how she too was a stranger once to this gathering yet how she was still welcomed. With that in mind she decides it would be far better to have another ally with them than not. Time and actions would prove where his intentions would lie. Stepping forward she nods at the mage.

"I am named D'Aleen, welcome and thank you for your assistance.

I am going to move inside, I suggest we get out of the open in case our winged friend returns with an attitude."

And with that the elf proceeds back down the walkway and into the castle the way they came. Glad to be out of the bitter wind she waits for the others.

Beltruckus · 09-01-2003, 02:55 PM

Kentelos, seeing the mind mage approach him, wonders breifly if he will indeed get to try his projection techneque again, but decides that he will trust this band of travelers for now. While waiting to be levitated to the group, he feels like he is no longer in his homeland, it feels far away yet he did not have to travel far through the fog to get to this cursed castle.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, and i'm not just saying that because my life is in your hands, or should I say mind. HAHAHA. Yes well, perhaps you can tell me when we get to where your group is, where we are, because I do not feel close to my home thats for sure. Also formal introductions are in hand I believe."

Kentelos looks content as he is levitated to where the main group is.

"Ahhh what a comfy ride. Well, hello all My name is Kentelos Ma'Char I am a fire mage. For the last 13 years I have been studying with the Fire monks of Belfos Char, where the last part of my name comes from. Now I know, before I came through a thick fog and found this castle I was relatively close to my homeland, I am very far from it. Maybe you could enlighten me where we are?"

At that Kentelos waits to hear from those around him who they are, and what they do.

GoldenOuroboros · 09-01-2003, 03:42 PM

Darghon meets and greets Kentelos "My name is Darghon, I've been trained in all the powers of the elements, I have psychic healing powers and a few others.. I hail from a society where I was rejected because I was different.. but I found out why not so long ago and things are better.." Darghon grins thinking of his mother and father

"..and where we are Kentelos.." Darghon looks around "I wish we could tell you, but in all truth we don't have any real idea"

redravin40 · 09-01-2003, 06:53 PM

Pulling himself up from the hider hole he had found, Father Quadrial walks to the group.
"Greetings and salutations, I am Father Quadrial of the Abby of Saint Claire. A former adventurer and dabbler in the fine art of herbalogy."
The a pause..."The thing around my neck is a finely crafted necklace of great magical power. It wanted me to tell you that."

krazixs · 09-02-2003, 06:58 AM

The small elf hangs back as everyone introduces themselves. Suspicion fading, the elf merely has no inclination to make a introduction. If the mage has willingness to find out more about him he will ask.

Apokx · 09-02-2003, 01:23 PM

Waiting for everyone to begin moving inside,Attrah wonders how much longer they will take.

Maybe turning off the shield for a second to gain their attention....

..........nah.The knight understood that he and his comrades would not be going anywhere soon.The tower had to be cleansed...and the way home still found.Actually...TWO ways home had to be found.

As introductions are shot between his comrades,the knight remains quiet.

Cubby · 09-02-2003, 01:59 PM

Hearing the confusion in Kentelos' voice puts Thantos a little more at ease.

"Greetings Kentelos Ma'Char. I am Sir Thantos of Moonvale, a Knight in my kingdom's Eagle Order. My longsword and crossbow work well on both demon's and mages. I am sorry I cannot yet trust you as too many strange things have happened in this god-forsaken place. I will try my best to trust you and hope that you are another gift from the gods to come help us rid this place of its evil. However, I will tell you that I will be keeping an eye on you.

As for this castle, I am not sure what it is. We entered a great Pyramid in a clear forest, days (I think) ago and have only just realized we are now in a castle in this desolate place. As of now, your guess is as good as ours.

But let us decide inside away from these rains. Thank you by the way Attrah for the use of your shield to deflect the rain.

Nodding once again to the newcomer, Thantos follows after D'Aleen. Seeing her looking back out at the group, a smile lights up Thantos' face.

Minx · 09-02-2003, 06:48 PM

Hoping she did not come across as overly rude with her greeting of the stranger D'Aleen shakes her head gently...her Father had always taught her the graces of manners, the power of trust and the gift of hope and faith. She must remember that wisdom throughout this venture as their lives were all intertwined now in certain ways and they, willing or not, were each a vital piece of the puzzle.

Rousing herself from her strange thoughts the elf glances back over her shoulder as she reaches the shelter of the castle's overhang and an unconscious smile lights her eyes as her gaze rests upon the knight approaching.

She rests against the stone wall and waits for Thantos and the others to join her.

Bob Biter · 09-02-2003, 08:54 PM

Having already introduced himself on the way down, Vinoh decides to head to where Attrah was waiting somewhat impatiently. He hadn't dropped the magic of his shield yet, so there must be some kind of sympathy lurking in his well-hidden heart. The mind mage smiles at that thought, then waits for the others...

GoldenOuroboros · 09-02-2003, 09:24 PM

Darghon follows behind, lavishing the splatters of rain on his head, Darghon looks ahead wondering what strange event could possible unfold now. He grins he the usual as he reaches the shelter with everyone in it...

Apokx · 09-03-2003, 02:17 AM

Once the introductions were over,Attrah asked if everyone was ready to move inside.

"If everyone is ready,we should move inside.The thought of being attacked by the Wyvern is beginning to bother me.The rain blocks our vision, and clouds our hearing.The fight would not be in our favor."

Once his comrades begin to move inside,the knight follows.
The shield still active....

The knight did know one thing...the shield would never leave his side.

krazixs · 09-03-2003, 06:22 AM

As usual the small elf followed the group inside sticking in the center.

Beltruckus · 09-03-2003, 07:33 AM

Kentelos begins following the group, and realizes there is still one member he has not yet met.

"Excuse me, sorry yes excuse me, I still have not been introduced to your ENTIRE group. Elf why have you denied the curtesy of you introducing yourself to me? Have I offended you in some way? Wouldn't surprise me but an explanation would be nice."

krazixs · 09-03-2003, 08:37 AM

Slightly taken aback by the approach of the mage, the elf looks confused.
"I'm sorry, not that I ignored you, it is however a little difficult to tell you about me when I know so very little myself. All I can tell you is that the furthest back I can remember is right around the time I bumped into my companions here. You can call me Krazixs however that is not my name, it is the only one I can remember being called though. I've found that I seem to have some control of magic, but as to what kind exactly I don't know as I usually do it on instinct. As to why I am here, I don't know that either, all I know is that something here calls to me and I must find it."

"Please take my rudness as simply inexplicable ignorance on my part"

rogue49 · 09-03-2003, 01:34 PM

* Through the boundaries of Attrah's Shield's globe of air
you see it mold and stretch itself against the aged and smoothed walls of the stairwell.
Shifting the dust, slightly aside, moving the cobwebs also.

The rain & wind left behind...
and just in time too as the storm's intensity increases
with the thunder clashing and the lightning flashing in the sky.
You feel the wind at your backs.

Ahead of you on this confined stairwell
you see the highest landing as before. *

GoldenOuroboros · 09-03-2003, 04:01 PM

"Spring cleaning Attah?" Darghon gives him a wink and heads towards the landing up the stairwell..

". . .well I was travelling through the forest on personal business when I came upon a large body of fog, I made a hole through it by heating the air and saw some sort of structure ahead of me. . ." Krazixs listen's partially to the conversation going on when something strikes him as odd. "Do you think you could inform us of any news from the surronding countryside?" The small elf looks at the bald man infront of him with one eyebrow raised. __________________ The Kender in your party has just screamed in fear.

Beltruckus Psycho Location: Salt Lake City	"If you are asking for news, unfortunately that was part of my business that I have yet to complete. But i notice that you seem a bit cold, if you would like I can warm the air inside this knights protective covering. And if you really want to trust me I can specifically warm you up personally. There is no danger to you or anyone else, in me doing this." Kentelos heats up the air inside the protective cover without waiting for an answer. __________________ The most important things are the hardest things to say.

Apokx Yo dawg, I herd u like... Location: memes.	Watching Darghon and Kentelos hover in mid-air,Attrah knew that his comrades would ask all that needed to be known. The knight had little use for formal introductions anymore.His invite to join them was purely etiquette. The dark knight took some time to scan what he could see,for good measure. Although he had to admit,this place was full of suprises. If Kentelos were an image,a hoax..it would not suprise Attrah. Turning again to the horizon,the knight looked to the night sky.The rain pounded away at the bubble,never ending. Last edited by Apokx; 08-29-2003 at 12:10 PM..

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	"Attrah, you should learn to enjoy the rain my friend, for it is one of the givers of life.." With that he gives Attrah a grin and a wink, turning back to Kentelos, "Yes I can work fire.. But can you levitate?" Darghon looks around for his friend Vinoh "If not I think maybe one of us could help you over.. if you can.. come over to where the main part of the group is.." Darghon ventures back tothe spire where Vinoh is.. Looking in the hole in the roof he whispers to Vinoh "So.. what do you think of the new comer? And do you think we should check out the rest of these spires?" Darghon looks down into the spire.. __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

Beltruckus Psycho Location: Salt Lake City	Kentelos raises his voice so that it will reach Darghon "Actually sir I have been working on a way to project myself short distances but I really do not want to try it at these heights... yet. I probably coud use some assistance on getting to your main group, then hopefully we can have formal introductions." Kentelos waits patiently for....something to happen. __________________ The most important things are the hardest things to say.

Cubby Insane Location: BC, Canada	After watching flames suddenly burst forth from below the Wyvern, Thantos was immediately put on the defensive, looking for the source of the blast. Unable to find it and hearing Attrah start to attack, Thantos felt it was best to follow along. Making sure that D'Aleen was near he followed Attrah towards the Wyvern. As they approached and the Wyvern started to come towards them, Thantos raised his crossbow and fired. Unfortunately, the strong wind pushed his shot well off target and the bolt continued on into the forest. Cursing under his breath, Thantos bent down and re-cocked his crossbow. Placing another bolt into the bow he looked up and saw the second blast of fire and the Wyvern flying away. Now concerned that whomever had attacked the Wyvern was now going to attack them Thantos looks around for the source. Seeing a strange man approaching he raised his bow and was about to shout out to the man when Darghon approached him. Feeling that Darghon would handle the situation Thantos kept his guard up and his mouth shut. Before the man could get up to the rest of the party up on the wall Thantos says to Attrah, D'Aleen and Krazixs... "I think we should be very wary about any new members that want to join our party in this god-forsaken place. I agree that I was wrong about Tower initially but once again I have to say I am quite suspicious of powerful mages suddenly coming out of nowhere. Keep sharp everyone." __________________ Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted!

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	After following Thantos, Attrah & Krazixs closely and watching the wyvern's mysterious attack and flight away D'Aleen inspects this strange newcomer. Naturally mistrustful with any creature or person they come across she does not yet put her bow away but moves closer to Thantos. "I agree with you Thantos. I don't think we can afford to trust any creature or person we come across quite yet. Obviously he isn't an immediate threat as he and Darghon seem to be communicating. I'd suggest we get out of these elements and meet up with the newcomer and the others inside the castle. Then perhaps we can determine just what his intentions are." __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

Bob Biter Non-smokers die everyday Location: Montreal	Vinoh watches the mysterious mage's introduction warily from the arrow slit of the spire. He then finds himself sharing the collective sense of apprehension stemming from the rest of his group. This stranger was powerful and seemed to have the forces of fire under his command... Upon the arrival of Darghon to the spire, Vinoh addresses him: "I don't know, Darghon... We sure could use a fire mage against the undead, but I'm still wary of anything popping out of nowhere, no matter what assistance is offered. Fo that reason, I think we should go back to the group with this... Kentelos. Exploring the spires further would divide our group for too long, plus it's not like they could back us up if we ran into anything up there, like a pissed off Wyvern returning for some payback..." Using his telekinesis, Vinoh slips out the spire and heads down to the group. As he approaches the fire mage, he lifts him up as well to transport him to where the rest of the group waits. "Thanks for your help. Now let's get you down to a more manageable area. I am Vinoh Madren of the Mind's Eye Guild, pupil to the great Mind Master Lanodin. I hope to remain pleased to meet you, fire mage..." __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen. Last edited by Bob Biter; 09-02-2003 at 08:44 PM..

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	Darghon nods in agreement to Vinohs words... "Yeah true.." Darghon leaps up and grabs onto the edge of the hole in the roof.. hoping that that would support his weight, yet falls back on his ass.. "#@$!" Darghon levitates himself out of the hole and then flies back to the rest of the group his butt throbing the whole way.. Darghon rubs his butt a lil.. "So my companions.. where we off to now?" __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

Apokx Yo dawg, I herd u like... Location: memes.	Attrah watches Darghons's display with a look of slight confusion. Then,a slight smirk began to form on the knight's face.Not a smile,but definately an improvement from his grim disposition. "If no one else suggests anything,heading inside would be a good idea,as D'Aleen said."

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	D'Aleen hesitates before approaching the mage newly come to their group. Still she is mistrustful but then remembers how she too was a stranger once to this gathering yet how she was still welcomed. With that in mind she decides it would be far better to have another ally with them than not. Time and actions would prove where his intentions would lie. Stepping forward she nods at the mage. "I am named D'Aleen, welcome and thank you for your assistance. I am going to move inside, I suggest we get out of the open in case our winged friend returns with an attitude." And with that the elf proceeds back down the walkway and into the castle the way they came. Glad to be out of the bitter wind she waits for the others. __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

Beltruckus Psycho Location: Salt Lake City	Kentelos, seeing the mind mage approach him, wonders breifly if he will indeed get to try his projection techneque again, but decides that he will trust this band of travelers for now. While waiting to be levitated to the group, he feels like he is no longer in his homeland, it feels far away yet he did not have to travel far through the fog to get to this cursed castle. "It's a pleasure to meet you, and i'm not just saying that because my life is in your hands, or should I say mind. HAHAHA. Yes well, perhaps you can tell me when we get to where your group is, where we are, because I do not feel close to my home thats for sure. Also formal introductions are in hand I believe." Kentelos looks content as he is levitated to where the main group is. "Ahhh what a comfy ride. Well, hello all My name is Kentelos Ma'Char I am a fire mage. For the last 13 years I have been studying with the Fire monks of Belfos Char, where the last part of my name comes from. Now I know, before I came through a thick fog and found this castle I was relatively close to my homeland, I am very far from it. Maybe you could enlighten me where we are?" At that Kentelos waits to hear from those around him who they are, and what they do. __________________ The most important things are the hardest things to say.

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	Darghon meets and greets Kentelos "My name is Darghon, I've been trained in all the powers of the elements, I have psychic healing powers and a few others.. I hail from a society where I was rejected because I was different.. but I found out why not so long ago and things are better.." Darghon grins thinking of his mother and father "..and where we are Kentelos.." Darghon looks around "I wish we could tell you, but in all truth we don't have any real idea" __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

"Greetings and salutations, I am Father Quadrial of the Abby of Saint Claire. A former adventurer and dabbler in the fine art of herbalogy." The a pause..."The thing around my neck is a finely crafted necklace of great magical power. It wanted me to tell you that."

krazixs Psycho Location: courtin in the kitchen	The small elf hangs back as everyone introduces themselves. Suspicion fading, the elf merely has no inclination to make a introduction. If the mage has willingness to find out more about him he will ask. __________________ The Kender in your party has just screamed in fear.

Apokx Yo dawg, I herd u like... Location: memes.	Waiting for everyone to begin moving inside,Attrah wonders how much longer they will take. Maybe turning off the shield for a second to gain their attention.... ..........nah.The knight understood that he and his comrades would not be going anywhere soon.The tower had to be cleansed...and the way home still found.Actually...TWO ways home had to be found. As introductions are shot between his comrades,the knight remains quiet.

Cubby Insane Location: BC, Canada	Hearing the confusion in Kentelos' voice puts Thantos a little more at ease. "Greetings Kentelos Ma'Char. I am Sir Thantos of Moonvale, a Knight in my kingdom's Eagle Order. My longsword and crossbow work well on both demon's and mages. I am sorry I cannot yet trust you as too many strange things have happened in this god-forsaken place. I will try my best to trust you and hope that you are another gift from the gods to come help us rid this place of its evil. However, I will tell you that I will be keeping an eye on you. As for this castle, I am not sure what it is. We entered a great Pyramid in a clear forest, days (I think) ago and have only just realized we are now in a castle in this desolate place. As of now, your guess is as good as ours. But let us decide inside away from these rains. Thank you by the way Attrah for the use of your shield to deflect the rain. Nodding once again to the newcomer, Thantos follows after D'Aleen. Seeing her looking back out at the group, a smile lights up Thantos' face. __________________ Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted!

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	Hoping she did not come across as overly rude with her greeting of the stranger D'Aleen shakes her head gently...her Father had always taught her the graces of manners, the power of trust and the gift of hope and faith. She must remember that wisdom throughout this venture as their lives were all intertwined now in certain ways and they, willing or not, were each a vital piece of the puzzle. Rousing herself from her strange thoughts the elf glances back over her shoulder as she reaches the shelter of the castle's overhang and an unconscious smile lights her eyes as her gaze rests upon the knight approaching. She rests against the stone wall and waits for Thantos and the others to join her. __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

Bob Biter Non-smokers die everyday Location: Montreal	Having already introduced himself on the way down, Vinoh decides to head to where Attrah was waiting somewhat impatiently. He hadn't dropped the magic of his shield yet, so there must be some kind of sympathy lurking in his well-hidden heart. The mind mage smiles at that thought, then waits for the others... __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

Apokx Yo dawg, I herd u like... Location: memes.	Once the introductions were over,Attrah asked if everyone was ready to move inside. "If everyone is ready,we should move inside.The thought of being attacked by the Wyvern is beginning to bother me.The rain blocks our vision, and clouds our hearing.The fight would not be in our favor." Once his comrades begin to move inside,the knight follows. The shield still active.... The knight did know one thing...the shield would never leave his side.
