18th Fourth Quarter 998
Night
Tyr Loknar
[2] Tyr left the Golden Goblet and took a walk around the city. It was dark, the lanterns went off already. It was hard for Tyr to find anything interesting, going along to the market.
[3] Moving onwards, he turned left from the market to craftsmen district - it was still lit, that probably drawn him to the area in the first place. Among simple smiths, masons and carpenters, Loknar spotted a firearm manufacture.
[1] It was already closed however, so he had to go back. Suddenly two watchmen with lanterns, patrolling city at night, appeared!
Halt! Loitering around the streets at night is forbidden! - shouted one of them as they were approaching him slowly.
But I just left the firearm manufacture! Can't a gunsmith just go home after a really long day at work!? - Tyr exclaimed once they got closer.
[6] The two looked at each other, then one of them said:
So we'll check it and ask the owner! - knocking to the doors of manufacture.
[4] The doors opened just by a few inches and someone leaned through the doorway. With irritated voice, a man cried out:
Just closed, my worker left a few moments ago. Begone! - then the doors closed tight and watchmen left Tyr on the streets.
Euzaroch
[1] Euzaroch came closer to the edge of a pit in an attempt to climb down. However, as he put his feet on the ground, the edge collapsed and he tumbled down!
Hold on brother! - he heard Kallun shouting while tumbling quicker and quicker.
[6] Eventually, Euzaroch hit the bottom of the crater. The landing was rather soft, as some strange force decreased his tumbling momentum and he only got a few bruises. Euzaroch got up on his legs, and then some strange stone shot out from the ground. It was floating in the air, rotating. Beams of energy protruded from it's sides.
[6] Euzaroch looked up to see if the sorcerer was climbing down, and saw him falling down after a rock he placed his foot on fell out. Kallun tumbled down and hit that glowing stone when landing!
[1] A bright, almost blinding flash of light! Then it weakened into a torch, and an ominous shadow started growing up seemingly from nowhere. The figure writhed and squirmed, turning on various shapes until it popped out as a real being! A twisted, deformed undead similar to bonelord. It was much bigger and had only two arms however, and it's armor was made of a mixture of bones and gold. It's skin gleamed in the light like iron, it had a necklace made of human ribs and golden crown ornamented with teeth. The monstrosity drawn an enormous battle axe forged with a light absorbing alloy, with a bone handle. It emitted a menacing, soul shrivelling shriek!
By Zyugewolg! Is that a Deathlord?! - Kallun shouted, raising his mace.
Euzaroch: Several bruises
Vrillith
[5] Seeing that it was already late, Vrillith decided to take his time ashore the lake. He found a nice spot between three willow trees with nice protection from rainfall and a good view to the lake. He set up a campfire and rested.
Deikos of High Rock
[2] In the moonlight, Deikos was following a path leading from his manor to the city. It was a bright night with a pleasant breeze. The old knight moved on slowly, wondering if he'll meet anyone on these lonely roads.
[3] And indeed, a lone wanderer was heading towards the city! Deikos sped his moved up and quickly caught up with the figure.
Ah, hello traveller! Would you mind keeping my company on the way to High Rock city? - he said friendly and with joy.
[1] Then, the wanderer stopped and slowly, somewhat oppresively turned towards Deikos. Dropping down it's hood, the traveller revealed it's rotten, insect ridden face that looked both disgusting and horrifying in the moonlight. It groaned loudly and stared blankly at the knight-errant!
