OOC: Erik is your name in the Albannar RP, Kerik is your name here. Simple, isn't it? Now try remembering names like "Delmenon" and "Draloron" every time you make a post in an RP...

Ooc: That's why I based my characters names upon locations within the middle east, so I would remember. Ie: Jericho, Judas, Euphrades, etc.
Also, try to use the discussion threads for only Ooc posts.

Ic: Jericho stalked into his quarters, slamming the door behind him. He stood in front of his window, forcing himself to calm down as he observed the slow setting of the red sun. He stepped through the small window, and soared away from the inn, back to the Mountain.

OOC: I can't even find the discussion thread anymore.....I think it's a few pages back.

IC: Gwaethir looked around at the other Evils, amusement still plainly showing on his face, "I was actually expecting the Heroes to be stronger, even holding back I was still doing fairly well...though I can't really say the same for the rest of you. They retreated because they expected us to be much weaker, I think." he chuckled, "Either way, should we give the heroes a rest, kill them in their sleep, or formulate a new plan, hmmm?"

************************************************** **************

Draloron sat at the same table as Talos, both of them looking into the scrying bowl, "I can find out their plans with this, and whether or not they intend to follow us and attack us tonight, perhaps I can even locate your sister......Talos, if you have a picture of her, I should be able to find her with this."

"Yes, indeed. I believe they underestimated our strength. For that, there will be blood tonight," Tanthalas replied.

****************************************

Talos withdrew his hand from his cloak. He carefully drew an elaborate Shadow picture in the air. "Focus on that."

"It is obvious that the others left because they accomplished their mission objective." Judas replied, lifting a small chunk of what was left of the beast. "As for the lack of skill, some may be attributed to their surprise at seeing so many of us here."

She casually threw the chunk away. "Besides, there were only four of them."

Judas looked to the slowly setting sun. "From here we should Divide and Conquer. We should send one group to wreak havoc in the world, and force the people into submission. another smaller group should seek out the so-called 'Heroes' in order to decern what they are up to, their actual number, and what their powers are."

******************

Jericho sat on the peak of the mountain, mind going through his standard process of meditation.

I know what I must do. he thought to himself, but how do I do it?

EDIT: OOC: you've seen the Princess Bride, haven't you? :D

Tanthalas raised a hand. "Ze and I volunteer to wreak havoc upon the world," he said, an evil, malicious grin plastered to his face.

OOC: I have, but that quote can be seen elsewhere as well.

"somehow I suspected that." Judas said dryly. "It's hard to disguise an 18-foot troll anyway."

********
Sitting in meditation, Jericho stirred as he sensed movement.

"Hello Kerik, how was your journey?"

Ic what? huh? oh it is you jeric. do you need your peace and where are the others?"
kerik added "journey, what journey? you are the ones on the quests"

"Very well." With that, the two flew away.

They reappeared at a very large fortress held by a 20 foot high gate. "Knock it down, Ze," yelled Tanthalas. The troll charged forward and rammed the door with his helmeted head. The gate collapsed in on itself and crushed three castle guards. "Ze, you make a diversion. I'll target the king!" The troll nodded and advanced, swinging his morningstar at any who opposed him.

Tanthalas ran for the castle, blasting any nearby guards with bolts of lightning. He soon reached a large iron door. He smiled and blasted it with lightning, opening it effortlessly. He then walked through and fused the door shut. The drow strolled casually through the hallways, blasting anyone and anything that got in his way. He swiftly located the king's quarters and melted the door, drawing his sword and grinning insanely.

He smiled. "... and yet you are here at the top of a mountain."

Jericho sighed. "No, your presence is oddly comforting... The others are down at the in to the southwest, you can see it vaguely from here." Jericho pointed to a small light to the southwest.

"Tell me, why do you think you are here?"

"because I have nothing else to go back to." "and yet that means that I have nothing to fight for. odd isn't it?" kerik paused.. "I have failed you. so why to you look to me to help you?" "how desperate are we here?"

Delmenon focused on the picture, and the image in the bowl shifted to show a castle. The view changed, going through the door and travelling until it encountered some stairs down, going down into a dungeon. In one of the cells sat a beautiful drow female, a single barred window shedding light onto her ebon-skinned face. Her red eyes were downcast, her long silver hair was unbound and fell about her shoulders like a waterfall under the light of the moon, her elegant dark robes replaced by a threadbare brown shift, the garb of an imprisoned peasant......apparently Tanthalas or Gwaethir had decided to humiliate her (they would be the ones to think of something like that, IMO). She shook her head, sighing, as though not really surprised by the treachery that had landed her here. She looked up, almost as if she could see them...Delmenon seemed utterly awestruck by her. "She is truly beautiful, my friend" he said to Talos, his eyes still fixed on the image in the scrying bowl.

I sugest we folow them it never hurts to know what your enemy is planning does it not come lets go find them thier trail should not be hard to follow

ooc: DB your name is Delmenon remember? And after someone else posts I'll start a new thread. Probably. But let me start the thread since I have a good name for it.

in:"Hm... It is quite confusing for good and evil to be in the same team. Oh well." Crash! "Foolish Mortals I speak to all of you goods and evils. I'm back and you'll never find Talos's sister. She is locked away in a farther away dungeon. And you only have a week to find and save her. Before I destroy her. Muhahahahahamuhahahahahaha!" "Oh no not another quest. Hm... you're just lucky we have to join forces again Ziff."
*****
"Oh no not again. What is the matter with the creature? Can't he give us a break? Oh well. Looks like we'll have to team up again."

OOC: sorry, talking about character names must have messed me up......

IC: Gwaethir also decided to wreak havoc...flying from village to village and creating immense tornadoes that destroyed entire cities. He was especially devastating in the farmlands, where he destroyed entire fields of crops and scoured away the dirt beneath. He briefly considered entering the barbarian lands, but decided to continue with the more civilized areas first.

Judas looked to the floating spirit. "Nosfors, you more than any of us are built for infiltration. If you should be one to monitor the actions of the so called 'heroes'. I will head to the sea in the east, and destroy the coastal ports."

**************
Jericho smiled dryly at Kirek's comment. "You failed no more than the rest of us. We all have a part to play in the scales of life, just some of us don't know what that purpose is. We succeeded in destroying the beast, but failed against the combined evils. we need to be united in order to defeat them the next time... As for our siduation, We're not too desparate yet, we just need to know who to take on individually."

He leaned back. "For example, you cannot fight fire with fire, all you get when you do that, is extra fire. Ice is needed to extinguish it's foul flame."

Tanthalas strode towards the king, who was cowering in terror, and stabbed him through the heart. He walked out of the castle and was not surprised to find it blanketed in snow and blood. The two headed away to the next fortress, thirsty for more blood.

*********************************************

Talos jerked convulsively as Tanthalas stabbed the king. He then replied "Yes, she is beautiful. My brother has humiliated her so. That bastard."

Havelorn had been the champion fighter of his city for many years, and his darting blades were well known in the surrounding kingdoms...but the creature he now dueled was barely paying attention to their battle, toying with him like a cat plays with a mouse. The golden-winged elf hovered overhead, spiked chains darting and spinning as Havelorn dodged them, panting with exertion...yet it was obvious that the Hurricane wasn't even trying hard. The Avariel's smile turned cruel, and one chain suddenly snapped into Havelorn's temple, blowing his head to bloody shards..."The fight was becoming monotonous anyway...now, I believe I promised to kill you all if your champion lost? I would so hate to lie to you, dear worthless humans..." he smirked at the trembling bystanders, and the winds began to blow a funeral dirge for them, as they were torn to shreads by Gwaethir's power.

************************************************** **************

Delmenon nodded, "I swore to rescue her, and now I see her for the first time.....I have an idea, I may be able to get a message to her, but it will take time to devise the means of accessing Earth's power."

"Tanthalas forced me to put those Shadow Chains on her." Talos pointed at the chains binding his sister to the wall. "With those on, she's unable to cast her magic. If I can get close to her, I'd be able to remove them."

************************************************** ************

Tanthalas and Ze continued, destroying and pillaging 64 cities, and enjoyed every minute of it. They stole everything of value, save those that were on fire.

ooc:I made a chapter 3.
