Mencot

The man laughs "Hehehe. You are a funny guy, collars..." He looks at the strange things boris has on his face "Or should I call you shades?" Another man walks into the room, a darker figure. He is holding a book and a somekind of a staff. "Eh, oh what the hell is going on here? What are they doing here?" "A, broder. Don´t be so rude to our guests. It seems your master has abandoned us... I told you that Zoot nonsense will get you into problems." He shakes his head and swings with the silver object in his hand. "We are out of here alright but we are not going anywhere with you." He tells Boris. "You can stand in out way and fall.. again or make it easy and let us go." "Eh, they need to die." the staff starts to flash. "You know bro, that isn't possible but we can knock them out."

"yes, I can and I will because you won´t have time to search through all this place before it comes crashing down in your neck. And I know this place like my own pockets... if I had pockets that is. Hang on here goes...." The heroes are swept into a circle of green mist and suddenly everything moves really fast. From what they can see, they pass a great hall and go through some corriders, until they stop by a huge door that seems to lead into a small tavern. "What you are looking for you can find behind this door. Altough most of the bandits have left the temple, I can sence more than one person in there. Good luck and thank you, you and the other humans actions have actually freed me from this places bounds, I am free to go." The spirit disappears into the walls around them. The heroes enter the tavern. It is a room filled with small round tables and at the end of the room is a counter. There is a man standing behind the counter,. He seems to be calm, altough the heroes enter the room he doesn´t seem to move. He just calmly smokes on a pipe, blowing out the smoke through his grinning mouth. With his other hand he seems to be holding and turning a silvery object that is on a chain. "Ah, look who is here. I am and I am not actually surprised to see you! This means either, Dagolar is dead or he has bailed on us... oh, well. Either way I won´t miss him around." The man blows out rings of smoke from his mouth and takes a sip from the bottle that is in front of him. "So, what now? I would not think you came here for a social call, right?"

Altough "hastened" the vampire can´t outrun the spirit. Sarcastic narrator: "What was he thinking!" And Addok-zo isn´t as fast as the others, so he is left behind as Boris and Cedric run. The grounds and the temple starts to rumble and derbis and small rocks fall down from the ceiling as the heroes run up the stairs but as they finally reach the top of the stairsThe wraith turns up infornt of them. "Whaaat did ye think, you can run away from meee? Do you even know where to go to find the Boss?"

"Aye, okay. I have heard o' th' Pongcanae but never seen one miself." Keliim drinks some mead and then goes over to the questboard. "Nothin'... Another Fields o' Glory would be good idea, if th're isn´t goin' tae be any quests soon." And puts up a notice: *Is someone intrested in going to the Fields of Glory!* Come talk to Keliim. And then he goes back and sits down.

The heroes move through the maze and towards the stairway upstairs. As the get there suddenly everything goes pitch black and a cold breeze goes trough the whole place. A howling noice is heard again and a green light emit infront of the heroes. "Aaaaaah, juuust came to say to youuuuu, to hurry. The defiler as nearly drained this temple of its dark powers. And when it is done, this temple is going tooooo collapse. I will hold it, so you can fulfil your mission aaaand get out.... but I can´t hold it forever."

"Oh, okay. Ye work'd many times with th' Dragonlord or just once?" "Ye read mi mind." The big man says with a smile

"Seein' ye around." "Rumors, what kind o' rumors 'nd is th's friend also part o' Heroica?"

Keliim goes to get more mead and when he comes back he says with a smile, "F'r mi, mead actually calms mi down..." He continues "So what be th're tae do now, non o' th' quests fit... hopefuly th're will be somethin', if not I will have tae start plannin' another trip tae th' fields." He says with a laugh.

"I can sence from th't comment th't ye art not tae keen or part o' th' Sungoldies gang!" "So what is yers take or feelin' 'bout what is going on or going tae happen h're in Eubric 'ns around..." "I don't feel anyone in charge seems tae have th' big masses best intrests in mind h're. It is just a big charade th't will benefit th' rich 'nd th' ones who end up winnin' " The big man empties his last mug of mead.

"Ofcourse, I gladly wouldst try th't awesome weapon out... if we ever will quest again but I think we will." "Not exactly mi friend but I have nothin' against him either... if one don´t mind some occasional annoyance." "Tha't be a big squad o' deamons ye fought... 'nd an arch deamon also, impressive." Keliim drinks his mead. "As of th' demon problem gettin' bigg'r all th' time, what be yer opinion on th't?" "'nd maybe someday we will end up on th' same quest 'nd we canst defeat some deamons."

Keliim takes a look at Kiray's weapons, "Really a fine job done on th'm. Th't crossbow... mmm, Even more deadly now." He says with a grin.

"Alrecht, I go by th' name of Keliim. I been around h're f'r a few years, but aye th're be plenty o' heroes I have not meet yet also. Nay, ye did not come o' as rude, we habt somethin' in common th'n. Altough I don't disdain, I don't like th' big lot o' em. A fairly small amount o' demons can be consider'd good in a someways... I think from mi experience with him so far, Germ is one o' th' few." "As f'r th' ones I fought while bein' part o' Heroica, maybe not nothing if, hmm compar'd tae a person who has sent swathso' demons back tae th' void. But I have stood up against th' Spider queen, a huge ancient demon, we got rid o' her by th't I agreed tae make a deal with her. On one quest we meet a Succubus, dreadful thing. Thankfuly one o'th' heroes in th' party had a weapon th't doom'd her. Th'n I fought some smaller bein's." "How 'bout ye, what kinds o' deamons have ye faced?" Keliim also comments on Kiray's question. "That has much tae do what ye prefer. Both I think both th' sword ye have 'nd th' th't crossbow are awesome, especially th't crossbow is great. If I wh're ye, I would use th' mythril f'r th' Katana ' nd th'n use th' upgrade f'r th' crossbow." "I be still short o' one shard o' mythril but i know I will use it on th's black blade." He take the court sword from his back and puts it on the table. "It is a fine blade but th' will make it even better." "okay."

Hahaha this will probably be a funny quest to follow.

Keliim just shrug and says to Kiray, "Sometimes I don't understand th't One."

"Hmm, maybe we are, maybe we are not. I think in th' end we couldst choose our own destiny. But I don't wanna take th's all tae serious, if I wouldst, I would be a blind psychopat how wants tae hunt 'nd kill all. 'nd th'n our good friend h're, Mr Germ wouldst get it. So th't is not me." Keliim looks around to see who said that and sees a woman wearing much make-up. "Aye, I habt.. eh, Miss, 'nd ye are? Do not think we habt meet before" Keliim laughs and says "Calm yerself down, Germ 'nd sit 'nd have a drink withst us."

"Ah, thank you Boris." As the party with the lead of Lord Cedric, move out of the tourture chamber. They head through the maze and after a while come to an open and broken secret door in one of the walls. "Alright, you mean Cedric if we go through here and up those stairs. It will lead us out of this place? Good, I could think I or Samantha could take anymore battlin' before our wounds have been probably taken care of. So I will lead Samantha out of here and hopefuly we will get some help. Too bad it means I will have to leave you now but we will just slow you down. You have to move quickly, as that mad man Dagolar said, the bandit leader is waiting upstairs... altough it feels like a trap, he and who ever works with him needs to be stopped to get a conclusion to this.... good luck." "Uh, good luck. And thank you for everything... I will see you all on the outside... when you get out, promise?" She gives her 2 potions and 1 smelling salt to Boris. And the the two disappeared out of the temple.

The big man laughs and looks over to where Germ is, "Nay. Altough I am a "Deamon" hunter 'nd he is a pain in th' back at times, does not mean I hunt all deamons." "Th's thin' be also part o' mi heritage. Let mi tell ye a story but I will make it short, I promise." "Alrecht, okay. A short while after I came tae th's place,. I was runnin' away from my former master... I knowst now th't I used tae be a solider o' Karain or Zoot as ye know him here, curse be it's name. 'nd when I came h're I was in a really bad shape 'nd I was beaten tae a even worse condition by some bandits. But I surviv'd. 'nd I promis'd then, swore an oath tae do good fr'm th't day forwards..." He drinks some more from his mead. "I join'd Heroica tae become a hero 'nd I did some quest but I was troubled by strange nightmares 'nd dark visions, sometimes when fightin' 'nd blood was spill'd it felt like I was possessed by somethin'..." "'nd I have th'se stranges tattoos 'nd markin's on my body." He pulls up the sleave on his right arm and shows the tattoos and mark of Zoot on his arm. "In time I found out th't whom or what th't try'd tae get tae me was th's Zoot. 'nd when we wh're in th' Fields, I had an vision again while I was under one o' th' dark sleepin' spells. 'nd I meet him in th' ethereal void. I had found out th't Zoot, Karain 'nd his minions were responible f'r th' death 'nd slavery o' my people 'nd th't he wanted me back as one o' his mindless kill'rs." "'nd now I hunt anythin' th't is somehow part o' Zoot. I know I can't destroy Zoot itself but if there is a way or anythin' I can help out with takin' him down... I will help in doin' it."

"Vindsval, aye seems tae be on a quest but th's Namyrra... I don´t know but ye seem tae habt find her sleepin' over th're.." Keliim gestures Kiray to join them. "Hmm, th's outfit. Yes, it fits the nature o' a hunter who works in th' shadows 'nd the mask conceals mi identity 'nd heritage... altough not many people around here knows 'bout it." As Keliim speaks, Fenri sniffs Kiray's hand, he snarls as she mentions cats but then goes back to chewing on the bone Siercon gave it. "But it also gives mystery 'bout mi character 'nd looks stoat, right?" the big man smiles under the mask. Keliim sees the list of merchandise that the strange looking man put up and the crossbow catched his eyes. "When a crossbow seems tae be on sale, it is unusable... oh th' irony." Keliim comments 'nd empties one of his meads.

"Just a small deal..." "Ye meen th' Green giant Vindsval 'nd Naim? Nay, haven't seen em." Keliim replies and eats some of his chicken. "What be yerself up too th'n?"

Keliim takes the shards and gold and secretly passes a leather pouch containing The Scroll of Magic Disguise. "Thank ye f'r a great deal, mi friend." And empties one of his four mugs of mead and offers one of the fresh meadmugs to Siercon. "Mi favorite, Heroica hall Mead." Fenri lying beside the table now, because he was too big to fit under the table anymore. Takes the bone with delight. "Warff, woff. guulfs" "These direwolves grow fast... I remeber liuke just yesterday he was just a pup." Keliim says with a smile, "So what ye be up tae next.. saw yer name on th' questboard, signe'd up? Look'd intrestin'!" Keliim nods at Throlar, "I think we habt meet.. but it was a long time ago?"

Party leader, please distribute the loot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ "Ahh, my wounds hurt and burn... the pain" "We need to get out of here..." He turns to Cedric, "How exactly did you get into this temple?, did you come through some hidden spot or?"

Keliim and Fenri sneak inside the hall... ah, that familiar smell, feels almost like home. He walked to the questboard, nothing for him. Then they walked upstairs, looked around. Many people he knew, the people he had just been to the fields with... he nodded to Ezeran, Kiray, Germ and Siercon. They walked over to the bar and ordered the usual, 4 meads and a plate of chicken. Then he headed to the table Siercon was at and sat down and whispers to him, "I habt obtaine'd th' thing ye want'd?"

As the wolfcouncil had reach a conclusion, the hunter bowed his head and then he sneaked out into the shadows, to go preparing for the libaration of the Hovel and it´s people. But before he exited the tunnels, he stopped by at the smugglersshop. And exchanged 500 gold for a Scroll of Magic Disguise and then he dissapeared.

Not 100 procent completed, will finish it later. A battle ravaged Keliim and his direwolf Fenri walks into the training room. He looks around the room, at all the gadgets and training equipment. Fenri strolls away and searches for some place to lie down. "So th's be th' famous training room o' Heroica... hmm wonderin' if anyone is in h're." The big man shouts out, " 'ello, somebody h're." Copperfox walks out from the backroom "Yes, hello... didn´t hear you come in. I am Copperfox and you are..." He see the fullgrown direwolf sleeping in corner of the room, he pulls his sword. "What is that doing here, who let it inside..." "Oh, calm down please. It is just Fenri, my pet direwolf and he is totally harmless... usually." "Aaah, so you are the barbarian with the wolf... hmm was it Keliim. Oh well but the beast has to go out, it has no place inside my training room." "I am nay Barbarian, I am warrior... Not every other fighter is a stupid barbarian, that isn´t a "holymoly knight"... others can fight, ye know also." "And Fenri, he won´t be in the way, I promise..." "Hmph, but if he makes just one sound... he is out of here. So, lets get down to business... what can I do for you, Keliim?" "Master fox, I wish to finish my training to become a Hunter." Copperfox looks at the big man and sigh "Hunter... finish training? What do you mean?" "And wouldn´t a barbarian... hmm, Warrior be more fitting as something like Beserker?" Keliim tells a story.... (will be updated later.) "Okay then Keelron but this won´t be easy... you have everything you need to finish the training?" "Aye... almost." "Okay, Then lets start!" Time pass and Keliim brushes up on his ranger and tracking skills. Copperfox, gives many great tips and shows the fighter ways of, moving and being more like a shadow. "This is all I can teach you at this time... Now you just need to use your skills in action." Copperfox looks at Keliim. "Hmm, cloths, light armor, fitting for your jobclass but you seem to be missing a cruical thing... a bow or maybe in your case, a crossbow?" "Aye I know. They ain´t easy tae come by... but I will get one, sooner or later? Thank you Master Fox." And the rediscovered "Demon" Hunter and his direwolf walk out of the training room.

Keliim takes the gold and thanks th' farmer f'r having this "splendid" place and then takes his leave towards Eubric. He had not walked far when a familiar beast comes running towards him, the big man gets down on one knee and greets his dire wolf. "Fenri, ye missed me... Ye have grown since last we saw." And then they head for Eubric and the training room.
