The strange wind of the fae plane blows across Vindsval's skin. Not quite chilling, but not warming either. He drinks a Mulled Wine and a Nostrum to steady himself as they move towards the Tower.

My Thanks, I will remember where It came from. I have heard but tales and legends. What can you tell us quickly that may be helpful. Do they have any common weaknesses? Vindsval stops a moment as the argument over the nature of being a hero once again rises to the fore. He grits his teeth and continues walking. The motivations of the past matter little. We know only now that we are here in this place at this time heading towards THAT tower to find a being a true power. We all hope that that being will aid us. It may be a thin hope but it one we must cling to. Heroica was the first home I knew, but it won't be the last. If I could return to it one day and it it once again risen to glory I would not regret the Path it took to get there. Nor would I change the Path taken if I returned to find it burned to the ground and scattered to the wind. None of us can deny for good or ill that it made us what we are today. Let us use that force within us to face what we find, and do what we may to maintain the hero within each of us.

Vindsval walks along the path, taking in as much as he can of the new place, the new World. I feel I do my Lord Proud. Certainly I am the first of his followers since the days of old to walk these lands. He addresses the fae nearest him. Tell me winged one, my mother's people in the ice north have many tales of the fae and their interactions of the land of men. Do any of your legends speak of the Giants of the Frozen Lands?

You have changed much in your journeys Carverhall. To hear you speak of visions and prophets. . . it is a strange path indeed. Whisperer, he has offered to keep our watch. Allow him to do so and take your rest. WE will all need it. We shall speak again later Master Carverhall, I believe we will have time on our journey to this dark tower. Vindsval pulls out his bedroll and attempts to sleep for a time.

There are those among us who have faced dark druids in the past, and those who have faced demons. If you would have us, I would stand with you. There is too much here for the Paths to not meet.

Vindsval steps forward to look down on his old friend could he possibly say Mentor? Master Carverhall, This is a reunion a long time in coming. A strange Path that brings us together once more in this of all lands. It is good to see you again old friend.

Vindsval accepts the Club, and stuff it into his belt. What is the old human saying? If it doesn't work, beat on it until it does? That should do nicely. Doctor do you know anything of where we may be stepping into? If not, I say we make haste. WE have put these people into enough danger. WE are not the only ones who she be leaving.

Vindsval looks straight into the eyes of the mountain and brings his blade up in solute. An honor sir. He then ducks into the smoke cloud with all of the speed he can muster Fleeing with the rest of the party.

OOC: thanks, fixed my post to reflect adjusted damage taken.

OOC QUESTION: does being immune to dark and demonic enemies protect from darkness elemental attacks?

Vindsval Wipes the blood from his lip. Hold on a little longer, that portal has to be ready soon. Vindsval Drinks a Grand Potion From the Back Row If rapid march is played he attacks the Mountain with Ludeas from the back row.

Lind if you wouldn't mind staying for the action it would be appreciated. Vindsval Attacks the Mountain from the Back row with Ludeas. If rapid march is played he repeats.

Umm That quest literally ended months ago my friend.

Vindsval heaves several deep breaths, the power gifted him as a Vindicator is helpful, but taxing on the body. There was mention of covering him in an aura of darkness. If that is done after the Neuralizer takes effect that would spare many of us his wrath. IF the Darkness Elemental Aura is successful Vindsval Attacks twice from the Front Row with Ludeas IF the Darkness Elemental Aura is not cast or is Unsuccessful Vindsval Attacks twice from the Back Row with Ludeas.

It is an honor to cross blades with one such as you. I solute you Mountain, but even mountains fall. Vindsval attacks the mountain Three Times, from the Front Row, with Ludeas.

Glad you are still keeping an eye on us boss.

Vindsval's head begins to sway with Karie's tune. You gift us again with your song my Bard, Let us use it to spread this man's blood upon the stones. Vindsval Uses his Third attack to strike again with the Wrath Lance from the Back row, swearing an oath of retribution.

So let it be ended. Vindsval Attacks the Mountain Twice from the Back Row with the Wrath Lance. and swears an Oath of Retribution.

Vindsval removes his rock broom, Verkenner, from its scabbard at his hip. he flicks his wrist, causing it to spin in the air an inch or so above his palm. A second flick sends it across the room to Throlar. Let it show you your Path.

We do not leave her behind.

You need to find the line between shuttering the window and removing the wall. Vindsval growls between clenched teeth.

By the gods of those above and below, your name is Whisperer for Wanderer's sake. Can you not for once shut your mouth and keep quiet. Step back as much as you can. Perhaps the Mistress may yet get us out of this alive. Though, if that is truly the Mountain, There is little doubt you have ended all of our Paths. Vindsval pushes back away from the door, doing his best to break any line of sight those outside may have.

Vindsval Equips his Mythril Shield. I believe our time for stealth is over my friends. He turns to the Doctor. If you can get us to Fairy. . .

If there is anything else you would rather not have fall into the hands of the council, point me to it. I will carry it through with us.

I kinda need this.
