Ravenwood Cemetery (Open RP, PM please)

[Giggles "Adguin"]

Giggles leads them back to his home. The town smelled faintly of death, and the people moved as though they were just going through the motions.

"Welcome to Ravenwood. This is my town. I bury the dead here which is why it smells as it does. The others here main specialty is of course as grave keepers or coffin makers etc. That's why they seem so lifeless, they aren't doing what they know for the moment."

He takes them to one of the main houses and led him to a some what luxurious dining hall.

"The chef will prepare whatever you'd like. So go ahead and let the servants know. Arsehead!"

Arsehead stumbled his way to them, his disguise being that of a VERY fat hobbit. As his head was shoved his but this was the only one that could work for him.

"When you tell him your order, I'd like us to discuss some business."

He sits at the main head of the table, and asks Wulf, Raku, and the others to join him.

"I apologize for testing you like this. I'm looking for strong fighters to help represent me in these lands. Above all I admire those who stand up for the weak and are strong as well. Please have a seat."

Raku tries to take the seat at his right hand side but he motions her to stop.

"Let the guest have that seat, for now. We must respect him after all."

Raku backs away from him, her posture showing anger and defiance at how she was being treated.

Giggles awaits Wulf response to his generosity.

[Wulf]

He sits at the table on the mans right as he takes his book and writes down his order, a simple meal mostly of bread and milk.

After he sees the fat hobbit run off, still somewhat confused by him, but still not judging, he looks over at the man, trying to guage him to see what we was thinking, starting to trust him a bit more.

Even still, he knew something wasnt right, but for now, what could a proposition hurt?

[Giggles "Adguin"]

"Well I would like to know what else you are capable of. I saw your fingers glow before. What magic were you about to cast? "

After he speaks, Giggles senses a Jovian messing with the fountain in the cemetary. His face shows surprise and anger for an instant as his and all his minions except Raku, disguises fade for just a second, Showing all the death and rot that reside within them.

"Oh, excuse me. Some local, but harmless fell magic around here. It makes us appear somewhat different then what we really are sometimes. Another reason I ask about your magic. Can you affect the local fell magics in anyway."

He hopes this will throw Wulf off his trail.

In the far distance a Jovian screams in horror and pain as he is slowly gummed to death by one of Giggles beings made exclusively for torture. He was being disgusted alive for his transgression against the lich.

[Wulf]

After seeing this, he seemed unaffected about the disuise, though he does kind of look around as the scream rings from far away. After a minute he writes something down in his notebook as he hands it to the man, as it reads:

Thank you for the food and i appreciate any offer you can give to me, but im kinda looking to settle down a bit. Maybe you should look at the inn in the town.

He takes the book back after getting it back from the man.

[Giggles "Adguin"]

Giggles chuckled to himself at the remark about going back to the inn.
"I'll see about that sometime. Well it is late, would you like the best quarters I have? I can have Arsehead or Raku see you off tomorrow. Now not to be rude but I must go. There are certain matters I must attend too."

Giggles leaves and brings Raku with him. He leaves Wulf with the Fallen and Arsehead.

Outside Giggles talks to Raku. "Mittelmarch, especially the Inn has ears. Why did you nearly expose me even more to the populace of MM?! I find out how to increase my power by leaps and bounds and you expose me to a possible new enemy!? Lucky he trust us so."

He awaits her response, while he contemplates how to deal with the Jovian refuges and how to separate his weak self from him.

[Wulf]

Wulf bows at the man as he leaves and looks at the one named arsehead, waiting for the being to lead him to his quarters, though he keeps ready, not trusting the sound of a distant scream.

[Giggles "Adguin"]

Arsehead wobbles his way across the village. Showing significant places as they pass. The mortuary, the vast and almost limitless graveyard, he skims over the center in it. He takes him to a three story house. In it is the finest foods and it is kept very well. Lanterns are sparse but it is well lit.

"This is the masters personal home. He has a lot to maintain in the area so he rarely uses it but for you he has spared no exp[ense. All he asks is that you stay in while night rules the land. There are too many unspeakable evils that try to enter this land at night."

He takes him to the main bed chamber.

"This is the masters room. He has never been in here but he keeps it well maintained. Now he keeps the place vacant except when cleaning it. You will be alone here, but you are free to explore all the rooms you desire, a privilege not even I have.

"Also, over here."

He takes him to the right side of the bed and shows Wulf a bell made of the most purest black metal.

"This bell will summon me not matter what your need. It won't teleport me here but I will hear it and come straight away. All I ask is that you don't use this as a joke on me. The master had a tendency to do that to me a lot. He once kept me up for almost six days straight...... Anyway have a good night and please abide by the one rule we ask. Don't leave at night at all.


Arsehead looks at the clock and midnight fast approaches. He quickly leaves. Giggles discarded his use of the orb leaving all the village and it's abomination exposed as what they are.

[Wulf]

Wulf waits till the thing leaves the room as he lays on the bed, laying on top of the covers, keeping his sword out and in his lap, looking at the slightlydented and knicked blade, keeping it handy, until he trusts these new people.

He decides to sleep lightly for the night, keeping his guard up, as to not be ambushed.

[Kaida NyteClaw]

Taking the scroll in hand, Lord Masahiro decided to head back to the Shogunate Library to do a little research before coming back to the Lichs' homeland to regain his lands at what price it shall be. Things of late were becoming closer and closer to inevitable darkness. Masahiro knew it was only a matter of time before the Lichs' power would grow to great bounds.

Lord Masahiro saw his apprentice scrounging over papers and books for answers.

"What is it you wish to see me about, Hanzo-san?", Masahiro said with bewilderment.

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo half way scared now said.

"My Lord, when I was looking though 'The Era of Good', one of the books I kept with me from Kanthea, I came across a crown. 'The Crown of Honor'. It is said that a warrior that fought with kindness and goodness in his heart wear this crown. And if someone wears this crown for just three days he/she will be as kind and good as this warrior for 10 years. So how did your meeting go with the Lich?"

Hanzo can now be seen putting books back in their place and putting papers away.

[Kaida NyteClaw]

Gasping slightly with this new found information, Masahiro stared at Hanzo Zhou.

Then hearing of the meeting, Masahiro said, "The meeting with the lich was better than I thought. Though I have yet to understand what all of this means because I do not know how to gather our homeland back dear friend."

"Where is this said crown that you speak of friend? Do you think it would work on said Lich to perhaps get him back on our side?"

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo Still putting books away said.

"Well it said in the book that the must power fullest Lich was handed the crown and he turned. As to where it is. It was put back in the warriors coffin for safe keeping. BUT there is one draw back. each time the crown is used the power that makes the wearer nice gets weaker. And I do not now how many times it was used. I am sorry for that bit of bad news but even the best things in life have a bad side."

Hanzo is now walking towards Masahiro Hitoshi.

[Kaida NyteClaw]

Well if things were going to be this way, Masahiro thought to himself about the whole situation and knew that something had to be done.

Masahiro turned to Hanzo and said, "In one week we are to report back to this Ravenwood Cemetary as the Lich put it to negotiate for our homeland."

"What are we to do about this whole thing?"

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo walked over to his short spear.

"His tomb is in a town call Tipa, or at least that is what the book said. So that is a start."

Hanzo now as the spear on his back and is grabbing a couple books for their travel.

"It is open for people to see as long as the sun is out. The question is: Lord, how would you like to break in to get that crown?"

[Kaida NyteClaw]

Thinking to himself, Masahiro knew that they would need all the help they could get in order to retrieve what was once their homeland. And this so called crown may be just a myth and then again it might not be that much of a myth. From the local history books, Tipa was a small town within the borders of Kanthea and Mittelmarch that had such a monument to the fallen warrior.

And yes it also was true that it was open to the day time. But things like this don't just come along everyday. Thinking of this meant that Masahiro might have to use some magic to help with this endevour. But if it meant saving his homeland, then thats what shall have to happen.

Masahiro turned to Hanzo, staff strapped to his back and his magics at the ready, glaring at hanzo, eyes with yellow fire and body covered in blue fire all over while chuckling he said, "Then entering wont be a problem, the crown should be really easy."

[Hanzo Zhou]

"On the centrally, entering is the problem you see. You know with all the traps. But then again the traps have been there for at least 100 years so they are most likely rotted out. But any way, what if the crown is not there. We have to find this crown. What i said is we ask around during the day for two days. Get all the info we can get. Then on the second moon we go for it with the info we know."

Hanzo is now seen picking up some food, med kit, and more.

"If it is not there and it is not a myth then that foolish chaos dwarf took it from us right under our nose."

[Kaida NyteClaw]

"With the traps being there it might be best to be prepared. Gather other supplies and seek out Lady Incondra. She will be able to help us at best as well. Plus I seek her assistance. Hurry along, your burning daylight, friend.", Masahiro said this while shooing him from the library area.

Looking back to a shelving unit and a small closet right beside Masahiro's work table, he gathered some food, bandages and medicine, grappling hook and 500 ft. of rope, caltrops, shurikens, a bag of marbles, and a mirror for just in case. All of these supplies immediataly went into a black silk bag that was on Masahiro's side.

Time to go he thought, much to be done in short amount of time.

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo, grabbing just one more item, left to get Lady Incondra, and it get his gold kuri "Alpha".

[Kaida NyteClaw]

Grabbing a small book with a leather binding, Masahiro knew it would be a long journey. Things would get better or be better at least because of his friend, Lady Incondra. He hadn't seen her in years. She was a close friend since his childbirth. She grew up with him and they both went to school together. As friends they went fishing, horse backriding, and also fenced together.

But after sometime, Lady Incondra had changed when she left the village to go see some family. When she had returned, it was almost like she had a rude awakening. To what had changed, he knew not of.

[Incondra]

Inocondra was at her study's in the Library in the up stairs of the River Dale Castle but something came to here mind. So she stopped what she was doing and walked over to a window and looked at the mountains wonder if there is some one that is trying to contacted her. She grabbed her necklace thinking that some one needed her help but couldn't remember who or what it is. She looked down at the city because she heard a commotion in her city.

Her nana came up stairs and opened the door to the library where she's at "Lady Incondra. They need you to take care of that commotion in the city."

"Yes ma`am. I will be there."

She ran over grabbed her cloak, put her arrows and then her bow on her back, and then she put her dagger in it's sheaf but she new she wasn't alone in the darkness of the room. She grabbed her dagger and swung around but the person dodged her dagger.

She looked up and she said to him " How did you get passed my guards..."

He walked to her that she will never help her friends if he has something to deal with it. He grabs something out of his cloak and a black cloud of smoke filled the room.

"What the..." She passes out onto the floor.

The guy from the darkness grabs her and puts her in his arms and takes her outside the castle. Hanzo just got to the castle away from the mob that chased him. The guy disappeared with Incondra in his arms.

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo sensed that Incondra was no longer then. Rubbing the top of his half horn *fyi read my charter page i made a change* he said.

"Why it is like she just upped and gone."

Hanzo walked up to the castle, and knocks on the door. He looks behind him and sees the mobs is still coming after him for stealing that bread.

"Forget waiting for the door."

Hanzo looked at the top of the castle and jump half way up the castle. There he sat and waited. By the time the mob got to the castle the door opened. He person who open the door screamed and closed the door quickly.

Hanzo laughed and looked at the mob.

"Even now you cannot touch a half-breed."

Hanzo rolled down the backside of the castle and jumped though a open window. Hanzo looked at the floor and saw some powder.

"Great someone took her."

Hanzo reached on his back pocket and pulled out the item he took from his Lord before he left. It was a pair of all black glasses.

"Even the magic glass can't tell where the guy went. Well back to my Lord."

Hanzo left though the same window. And traveled back the his Lord.

[Incondra]

Incondra awoke into one of the forest near the mountains.

"Where am I? Which forest am I in?"

She walked around and she looked down.

"Wow, who ever kidnapped me did a really bad job of not hiding his foot steps."

She followed the foot steps not knowing that her weapons are missing. Not even looking up rams into Hanzo head first into his chest scaring the crap out of her.

[Hanzo Zhou]

"To bad I gave up eating animals."

Hanzo said looking down at her.

"Plus you need to come with me to see Masahiro Hitoshi. You should remember him. Right, you vam! But do not worry he still does not know that you are a vam . . . yet that is."

Looks toward the castle of his Lord.

"We should head back before dark."

[Incondra]

"Masahiro, What's going on? Is he okay? And fyi I'm not only a vamp, I'm also a elf nimb wawd."

She left with Hanzo.

Got half way there she felt around to feel for her weapons.

"HOLY... They took my weapons. Dam, now I have to build them again. Is there an armory store so I can get my weapons built again."

She looked at him still holding her necklace and bout to cry. She felt like she was bout to cry because her heart warmed up as what he told her before they left. She clinched her fist with her necklace still in her hand and looked away from Hanzo.

[Hanzo Zhou]

As they was getting closer Hanzo said.

"I am sorry for calling just a vam. It is that I can smell different types of animals and all I smell on you was vampire. And do not go to an armory i have some things you might like at the castle. And nothing is wrong with Masahiro Hitoshi we just need your help getting a, umm, crown."

At this point they were at the castle doors.
