Plains of Trelaharme

   As dawn approaches on the open plains, there is suddenly a movement in the shadow of a lone tree. A dark figure steps out of the shadow. It is humanoid and almost six feet tall with long flowing black hair tied into a pony-tail. Clothed in blackened leather and a black cloak with all but invisible silver designs decorating it, the figure slowly steps out of the shadow, revealing itself to be a human male. His piercing blue eyes scan the flat landscape as though looking for something specific. "Strange place... where are all the people?"

   The same tought went through Redwick the half-dwarf's head as he came wandering down the road known to the locals as "Road of silence." It was indeed a strange road, for no sound was made when he stepped on it. Then he notice the dark figure by the tree.
   
   "Ahoi there, who are you?"

   The figure turns slightly and notices the diminutive person on the road. He takes his cloak in one hand and bows deeply "I am Alec, goodsir. May I have the honor of your name?"

   "Me name is Redwick Undersoor." said Redwick. Then he noticed that Alec obviously didn't hear him. He realised that he would have to yell to get his voice trough as long as he stood on the road. Therefore, he stepped of it, onto the plain.
   
   "Ahem...Me name is Redwick Undersoor. What is this place?"

   "This place is known as the Plains of Trelaharme. It lies on the northern end of the continent of Nor'Doth. I am here searching for a lost artifact. Would you have any interest in joining me in trying to find it?"

6. Plains of Trelaharme

   #6

   "Ah, so THAT'S where I am..."
   
   Redwick took out a crumbled old map and drew a line on it with an old pencil.
   
   "Very well, Mr Alec, it would be most interesting to search for an artifact. But what sort of artifact is it?"

7. Plains of Trelaharme

   Alec smiles and sits down, his back against the tree. "Well, that's a rather difficult thing to explain. You see, I don't have the foggiest idea. It's known as the Phylactery of Toral, but I don't know what it looks like. The quest for this artifact came to me from the highest in my order, but that was all the information I was given, except of course, that it is in this world."

   the dark figure grinned from his perch in the trees as he overlooked the odd pairing on the road his cat eyes focusing a little harder to see if their purses were fat with gold

   "Okay, so we're looking for something which location we've nailed down to "this world", and wich very nature, look or anything else except its name we don't know."
   
   Redwick looked around. It felt like somebody was watching them.
   
   "It seems like a challenge to me. Let's get movin'!"

    the dark figure lept silently off of his perch to a noisless landing on the ground time to hunt he thought to himself while he enabled the masguerade causing his fangs to retract and his eyes to return to normal by human standards as he took one silent step out of the tree cover

    #11

    "Whoa! Hello there, mr...?"

12. Plains of Trelaharme

    #12

    Alec turns to face the new figure. "Hello. May I ask whom you may be?" As he speaks, he discreetly shifts his position until he is standing with his right hand within the tree's shadow.

    my name is vlad do you travelers know where i am i seem to have lost my way in theese strange woods

14. Plains of Trelaharme

    Redwick looked over the plains.
    
    "We-eel, I don't see any woods 'round 'ere, but according to Alec here, these plains are known as Trelaharme. If you walk down the Silent Road, you'll find a li'll village down south."

15. Plains of Trelaharme

    #15

    A silly little well dressed short guy waddles into the scene from the south. Is that a tux he is wearing? He carries a spear in one "hand" and in the other is a fish he just pulled out of large pouch. He opens his mouth and slurps the fish down his gullet.
    
    Hello, couldn't help overhearing the bit about the south. I was just there and there is trouble down there. You would be better off finding somewhere else to go.

16. Plains of Trelaharme

    #16

    Hmm, tought Redwick to himself, this is indeed strange lands. I've seen many weird things, but talking penguins? Oh well...
    
    "Trouble? What sort o' trouble? Last time I was there, everything seemed fine."

17. Plains of Trelaharme

    Well it started in the deep south a troubling coldness beyond what you would normally expect. Some thought it was just a very long winter, but the wise old birds said something foul was going on. As the years went by the great ice grew thicker and you had to travel further north to find thin ice and open water to fish...
    
    *Head looking down with sad expression* But the sea has become frozen... crushing ships and killing fish. The seals. *expression is more energetic* Yeah that ice killing seals, yup, more and more of them. An Whales too!! *remembers this is supposed to be sad*
    
    It has already started, for it is snowing in the village to the south. Perhaps I am wrong, maybe it normally snows this time of year?

    "Humm...Alec, maybe the thingy we're lookin' for has somethin' to do with this?"

19. Plains of Trelaharme

    #19

    Keeping his eyes on the newcomer, Alec shrugs. "I'm not sure, it very well could have something to do with the strange weather patterns down south. And in any case, it's as good a place as any to start looking."

20. Plains of Trelaharme

    #20

    Perhaps you are right about things being related. As they say, where there is ice there is water.
    
    If it ok with you I would like to travel with you in the safety of good company? Perhaps I can help out. I am pretty good with this pointy stick.

21. Plains of Trelaharme

    #21

    uhhhum i am good with a sword perhaps i will be of use to you as well

22. Plains of Trelaharme

    #22

    "Sure, you can come along as far as I'm concerned. We could use a sword and an...uhm...stick. Whaddya think, Alec?"

23. Plains of Trelaharme

    #23

    Alec furrows his brow in thought for a moment, then looks up at his new companions. "Yes, I suppose this could be a good way to start. Let us head for this village to the south."

24. Plains of Trelaharme

    #24

    after you i insist

25. Plains of Trelaharme

    #25

    I think were you were heading is better. Our people have been seeing the increased coldness for years. It seems to be moving north. Some of our smartest birds theorize that cold doesn't travel, but heat does. Cold is the absence of heat. So heading north made sense for me. Further south seems the wrong direction. Besides, I just came from the village and there is nothing we can do to there to fix this situation.

26. Plains of Trelaharme

    #26

    "Very well, north it is then" said Redwick and swinged around on his foot elegantly as he was about to walk south.

27. Plains of Trelaharme

    #27

    Alec waits for the others of their party to follow Redwick, then he falls in behind Vlad and follows everyone north.

28. Plains of Trelaharme

    #28

    *Start walking.* Hey everyone I told you I am from down south, where are you all from? And where exactly are we headed?

29. Plains of Trelaharme

    #29

    Alec calls up from the back. "I suppose we should just head north until we get to a city or until we find something else that could give us a clue. Personally, I'm from a different plane, one called Arlitan. I was sent here by one of my superiors to find this artifact."

30. Plains of Trelaharme

    #30

    *turns around for a moment and signals to the others* Come on, lets get moving!
    *continues walking north*

31. Plains of Trelaharme

    #31

    falls in in front of alec and follows the odd group
    
    "i too am from a different plain i come from rhapsody OOC:world made by myself and nitouken ic: my coming here was due to a strange encounter at a crossroads"
    
    *the soft breeze reveals a glimpse of an odd sword slung againsd vlads back from underneath vlads cloak*

32. Plains of Trelaharme

    #32

    "Well" said Redwick as he kept on marching, "I'm from Kazordoon, a far-away dwarven city beyond the great seas."

33. Plains of Trelaharme

    #33

    "That's an interesting sword you carry, Vlad. Mind telling me a bit about it?"

34. Plains of Trelaharme

    #34

    draws the black osmium katana out of its scabbard as soon as the blade leaves the scabbard compleetly the blade bursts into a dark black flame
    
    "This is my black fire weighted katana it was forged by the gnomes and dwarves of my land and enchanted at the college of war magic"

35. Plains of Trelaharme

    #35

    *looks curiously at the sword* So what is osmium and what does it do? Can the black flames be used to light things? how long has the war been going on and with whom?

36. Plains of Trelaharme

    #36

    osmium is the heaviest substance on my plane and can only be forged deep in the mountains by the dwarves once osmium attains an edge it never "never" dulls as for the black flame though it is not actually hot enough to burn things and as it is black flame its to dark to brighten anything other
    than my hand and the only war going on right now is the war with baler the sword was enchanted at the college of war magic
    
    there are also vendettas or small personal wars roaming throught the lands my house itsself is in vendetta with the calns of warewolvs that exist in our realm

37. Plains of Trelaharme

    #37

    Alec nods a bit in approval. "Sounds very useful and powerful. While we're at it, how about we all show each other our weapons? It might give us all a better idea on what our abilities are and how we can best work together."

38. Plains of Trelaharme

    #38

    in that case im not done
    
    *instantly vlads face pales and fangs can be seen growing in his mouth his eyes turn into cat eyes and he seems to float about 1/4 of an inch off of the ground*
    
    did i forget to tell you that im a vampyre.

39. Plains of Trelaharme

    #39

    *Eyes Alec with a serious face and asks* What can't be used as a weapon?

40. Plains of Trelaharme

    #40

    Alec recoils from Vlad, dives into the shadow of a large bush alongside the road, then stands up. He flicks his hand back into the shadow, then whips it out, a black shape appearing in it from the shadow. The shadow in his hand shifts and appears as a pitch black longsword. He wields it in front, between himself and Vlad. "What is this?!"
