Plains of Trelaharme
#41*looks at the newly displayed weapon in alec's hand* Looks like a pitch black long sword. Does your's produce the black flame as well?
Wait a minute, you aren't a werewolf are you alec?
*shakes his head* Can't we find a way to work around this? -

#42"You all make nough noise to wake up a sleepin dragon now can't ey all shut up so a humble dwarf lord can get his well deserved sleep BAH." Said Wolin shaking sleep from his eyes and holding his axe tightly and puting on his helmet. It wasn't hard to tell he was a Dwarf lord even if he hadn't have said it aloud the aura of his beeing was clear. "Now then tell me your names and status....BY THE MOUNTAIN THATS A VAMPIRE!" screached out Wolin and jumped to his feet and got into a fighting stance. A low growl rumbled from deep in his chest. -

#43"No, Penguin, I'm not a werewolf. I am a Shadow Walker. It means I have learned the ability to manipulate shadows and walk within the Plane of Shadow. This weapon is in actuality a shadow, which I have manipulated into a sharp blade. Again I ask you, Vlad: What is this about?!" -

#44Look, we will need to work together to find this artifact. During that time, we are likely to get into some conflict. Through test of arms you can see which of you is more productive. Afterwards, if you are both still interested in killing each other you can do it then. But why not make use of your abilities until then? -

#45Redwick, who had walked a bit ahead of the rest of the group, noticed the ruckuss going on and turned around. He saw the dwarf lord.
"Hello, M'lord, what's the problem with my companions?"
Then he noticed Vlad's change of appearance.
"Oh, yer a vampire eh? No worries people, I've met plenty of 'pires in me days abroad, and they don't always have to be after yer blood."
He drew his sword, which blade was a magical flame.
"This is my weapon. Now that we've all know each other, let's get a move on." -

#48"Ah, that sounds like a good way for 'pires to live" said Redwick as they kept on marching. The plains were getting rougher now, with more rocks and less trees. -
Plains of Trelaharme
#49"BAH" said Wolin steping down from his fighting stance and glancing at the half-dwarf who spoke to him. "I was try'n tah take me a nap but now that I sees beings drawing weapons and talking...." he continued to complain for a while when he noticed the travels leaving him behind. "Wait! What you be searchin for I know the mountains and the hills around her and ifn yah go the wrong way trouble yeh find." said Wolin jogging to keep up staying near the half-dwarf for he suposed that they would get to know each other better seeing as how they were bolth dwarfs. "Well I supose I better introduce my self, I am Wolin Dwarf Lord of mountain range know as "The Horn" and who might you be." said Wolin extending a hand twords the half-dwarf. -
Plains of Trelaharme
#50"I am Redwick Undersoor of Kazordoon." said Redwick and took the hand as he kept on marching.
"I wonder, what is a dwarven lord doing all by himself out in the fields, without any guards? Where I come from, the lords usually sits in their throne halls, and if they ever go out, the strongest of his men carries him on his throne..."
He tought for a while.
"Now that I think about it, that is pretty lazy..." -
Plains of Trelaharme
#51"I my freind am hunting...or was." said Wolin producing the hide of a Wolf. "and yes its true most dwarf lords sit around but I lad i go out on my own. Though my guards are never far." said Wolin puting away the hide and taking out an apple and a excusitly crafted knife and began to eat the apple. -
Plains of Trelaharme
#52Pleased with the answer, and with the fact that there was still dwarven lords out there who didn't just sit around in their mountain keeps, Redwick walked onwards, while merrily whisling an old dwarven tune.
The ground didn't have much grass on it anymore. The red soil was showing trough like wounds, and Redwick tought he could smell something burning in the distance... -
Plains of Trelaharme
#53*Currently in the lead, he notices a barely descernable trail leading up to and through a patch of heavy bushes. Suddenly he stops and as the group approachs the source of the burning is obvious. Within the bushes you see a wide circular opening about 20 feet wide and who knows how deep. The walls are made of quarried stone that has been cemented in place and which go straight down. Peering down* What is this? -
Plains of Trelaharme
#54Redwick walked up to the edge of the opening and looked down.
"Well, it looks like..."
Suddenly, there came an angry roar from the hole, and Redwick tought he saw an enormous black shape start to climb uppwards.
"...trouble." -

#55*vlad reappears looking a little worse for ware*

Plains of Trelaharme
#56"C'mon people, get yer weapons ready!"
The black was coming up through the hole. It seemed humanoid, but completely black, like it was made from some dark rock. -
Plains of Trelaharme
#57Alec closes his eyes for a second, and the shadow-sword in his hands shifts then settles into a new shape. Alec steps toward the black monstrosity and swings his shadow-axe in an arc before it. "You had better return to the black hole which you emerged from, beast. We are more than a match for you." -
Plains of Trelaharme
#58Suddenly, the shape opened a mouth and spoke with a tone deeper than the darkest of crypts.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THESE LANDS, LITTLE ONES? I AM TORAL, GUARDIAN OF ALL THE LAND YOU CAN SEE AND MUCH MORE!"
Redwick raised an eyebrow.
"Really? Ya don't happen to own a certain Phylactery?"
"AH YES, THE PHYLACTERY. THAT IS WHAT KEEPS THE NATURE IN ORDER IN THESE LANDS. YES, I OWN SUCH A THING, OR SHOULD I SAY...OWNED..."
"What? Someone took it?"
"YES. THEY CAME FROM THE FAR NORTH. GREAT BEASTS, EVEN GREATER THAN ME. I BARELY SURVIVED THE FIGHT, BUT THE LAND HAS GOTTEN SCORCHED, AS YOU MUST HAVE NOTICED."
"We-el..." said Redwick and turned around to the others.
"Whaddya say, people? Should we go look for his Phylactery?" -
Plains of Trelaharme
#59"Beast who are yeh calling little I Figured you had more respect for an old freind..." Said Wolin lowering his axe and frowning at the guardian. -
Plains of Trelaharme
#60So you are toral, eh? What does this Phylactery do? How does it work? Why do you live in this hole in the ground? And this rock, doesn't look like the stone you see around these parts? Tell me more about these great beasts! And where specifically from the North did they come from?
