At the Junction

After a quick glance round the corner the mage pulled his head back.
“They don’t seem to have been attracted by the fight. Very odd.” Miklos had an idea, “Feldard your crossbow may prove useful. Firstly kindly fire a bolt down the passageway the Siswa vanished into I’d like to see if it too vanishes. Secondly, [...]

Shadowy Figures

The treacherous looter dead, Saeth returned the way she came, following the bellowing voice of Feldard. Hopefully that berserker hadn’t destroyed too many of the Elves…
Back at the intersection Maruc wiped the sweat off his forehead. This armour would take some getting used to he thought. “Well we lost them, so the games up as [...]

What Trickery Is This?!

“What trickery is this?!” the priest glanced around to his dwarvern companion. “Well that’s ruined our chances of surprise. Well at least there is some comfort, they do not attack relentlessly unto death.” Maruc saw Feldards attention was down the northern corridor. “Are you listening to me?”
Then he followed his gaze to the [...]

Disappearing Act

Miklos lowered his staff. This was not good, the Siswa would be alerted to intruders because of a bunch of inept thieves that had beaten them into the temple. Well, it was too late now.
The priest leapt forward and struck at the retreating Siswa guard in front of him. He steeled himself against the thoughts [...]

Running Around the Temple

Maruc pressed his advantage and launched himself at the next guard. His bravado sagged as the rest of the guards pressed into the fray. He rather hoped that seeing their comrades fall they might fight off the charm that had trapped them.
The dwarf bellowed a war cry as he turned to face the next Siswa, [...]

Battle in the Hallway

Feldard turned to meet this new charge, his axe once more at the ready though this time he was cautious to only use the flat of it to bring down his opponents. These were the villagers’ husbands, sons and brothers whom they were here to try and free from the Rahib’s ensorcelment.
The priest leapt forward [...]

Wicked Creatures and Spellcraft

“Teikus, you are a fool to think that money will buy your life. If you had any experience of the Faith of Halav Incarnate you would know we would only seek to defend ourselves. You cast yourselves at our weapons then sue for clemency?” The priest shook his head. “In my opinion you should escort [...]

The Lost Bandit

Saeth threw back the cowl of her cloak and scowled at the man with her good eye. “You want to kill Elves?” Smiling menacingly, she stepped forward.
“State your name and your purpose swiftly or you may find yourself following your brethren.” The priest’s voice was level and firm despite the shallow wound in his side.
Seeing [...]

Stop! These Aren’t Siswa!

“Vas’tul!” the epithet spewed forth from the Elfin swordswoman in surprise. Recovering herself, she took a step back, murmurring words softly in a rhythmic tongue, the words hastened to complete the ritual of arcane protection by the time the men were upon her. Her sword–a pity that Nicolai had disappeared with her blade!–rose into a [...]

From Out Of Thin Air

Keeping to the mage’s suggestion of staying to the left, Feldard entered the ‘dead end’ hallway to the west trying to move ahead of the mage’s lantern light at first to have better use of his infravision peering into the shadows. Then as the others moved forward the dwarf studied the far wall of the [...]
