Part 1 or 2
She stood upon the broken plane of Avernus, surveying a field of carnage. Endless rows of fiends and mortals surged forth beneath her, crashing into her enemies. Expendable. They would die killing diabolic shock troops who were themselves expendable to their master, the Lady Zariel of the First. Somewhere beyond those lines her true enemy hid, cloaked in magic. And killing her would not only win the battle but this entire stage of the endless Blood War. Unlikely as that would be, her schemes had made it a possibility. Diplomacy could someimes win greater victories than any battle.
But this battle was more than a distractrion, her enemies had important resources here in the Golden Forges of Kagat and looting them would take her closer to victory. The Diabolic line rolled back, putting her vanguard in the beginning of a bulge that would surely turn into an encirclement. She sneered. Her opposing general thought her a fool, and he could go on thinking that for a while longer. The loss of a few thousand Dretches, Manes, Rutterkin and Mortals would weaken her less than overconfidence would weaken the Baatezu. Devils were predictable when you understood their way of thinking. They would crush her vanguard, and were surely already moving up hidden troops to attack her flanks and rear. When she moved to protect her flanks they would commit their fliers and then their elite reserves. She shook her head. Her flanks would hold longer than their apparent strength would indicate, her center was unassailable (unless her opponent had the mind of a Demon), and her back protected by a few unpleasant surprises. Her opponent thought that he had chosen the site of this battle. He was mistaken.
They moved sooner than she had expected. So much the better. Fighting a Demonic army on the defensive must have unnerved them. Before the jaws of the enemies trap closed on a near third of her shock troops she felt the report of Asenavi the Merciful, her Captain of the Left. She was under heavy attack by a sizeable force of Hamatula and Barbazu, joined by a company of Osyluth and an elite core of Cornugons. It was a force designed to cut trough the corps of Babau, Bar Igura and Hezrou it attacked and in time it would. Even the skill of her officers could only delay the end. But that would have to be enough. A brief command sent a fraction of her reserves to their aid. That, and the strength of the demonic resistance would convince the enemy general that she had committed a major portion of her strength there. That and - silence.
So, her enemy had some tricks of his own. Several spellcasters of not inconsiderable level if they could act on such a scale. Lieutenants on the edge of the flank confirmed her suspicions, as did a dark miasma on the horizon. No demon would leave that part of the battlefield alive, blocked off from teleportation, burning in black flames and under assault by a force a fraction the size of their own but a dozen times their power. It wouldn't be long before the enemy would commit that force again to another part of the battlefield, all but undamaged by her defenders. She ground her teeth. Never underestimate a Devil. Now the real battle would begin and the pace shift to lightning strikes.
In the center of the battlefield the two vanguards battled on, all but irrelevant to the final outcome. Daiasath the Bold had done well in that ungrateful role, breaking the encirclement, reuniting her two forces of rabble and cutting off a slice of the enemy's rabble in the process. Clever girl, too bad her disloyalty was so obvious. Still, if she survived this she would deserve a promotion for that feat alone.
The strength of the enemies assault on her flank meant that a significant portion of their mobile forces were committed there. That would make this the perfect time to go on the offensive. Sending her center forward like an avalance in a pincer movement around the blood drenched vanguards and her right flank moving with unnatural speed into the surprised enemy Left she signalled open desperation to her unknown opponent. A feint, but not one he could afford to ignore. The attack would cause a ripple in the lines of her foes, a wave of communication that could be read and traced to their source. And then...
"My Lady," a tiny mortal in a dirty cloak, a Halfling or perhaps a Gnome if such distinctions mattered, spoke out in a weary but triumphant voice. "I believe I have found him and I know his defenses." He coughs, expelling blood and viscera, only some of it his own. "Now, can I have More?" "You can have all you desire, once our victory is complete. Those were the terms of your contract, and far more generous than you deserve. Ready yourself, and your acolytes. The time has come."
Space folded and she stepped trough. To the chanting chorus of a hundred mortal casters, the roaring of the Horde and the shrieking noise of layers of magic wards ripped apart she committed herself and her elite guard to combat. There stood the enemy general, a Pit Fiend towering over all others in the great hall, fury radiating from him in palpable waves. "Filth! Incompetent traitors!" She gave him no more time to curse his troops. With a hiss she crossed the space between them and her many weapons clashed with his flesh. He did not last long.
2/2 (unfinished)
Trough some intrigue and support from her victorious army she manages to briefly become the ruler of a level of the Abyss (let's say nr 1351). While she struggles to maintain control of her realm it's invaded by another Lord. Betrayed, she's defeated in battle, captured and put to death. A long drawn out death that makes her question her alignment. Then, some 3400 years later, she awakes in the strangest of circumstances.

Additional Feats/Class Features:
Skill Focus (Diplomacy), Stunning Fist, Unarmed Strike, Minor Aura (Over the Top).
Power Lunge
Type: General
Sources: Enemies and Allies
Ghostwalk
Sword and Fist
Your ferocious attack may catch an opponent unprepared.
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +3, Power Attack.
Benefit: A successful attack roll during a charge allows you to add double your normal Strength modifier to the attack's damage, regardless of whether you're using one- or two-handed weapons. You provoke an attack of opportunity from the opponent you charged.
Leap Attack
Type: General
Source: Complete Adventurer
You can combine a powerful charge and a mighty leap into one devastating attack.
Prerequisite: Jump 8 ranks, Power Attack.
Benefit: You can combine a jump with a charge against an opponent. If you cover at least 10 feet of horizontal distance with your jump, and you end your jump in a square from which you threaten your target, you can double the extra damage dealt by your use of the Power Attack feat. If you use this tactic with a two-handed weapon, you instead triple the extra damage from Power Attack. (Erratad to x4 for two-handed weapons)
This attack must follow all the normal rules for using the Jump skill and for making a charge, except that you ignore rough terrain in any squares you jump over.
Shock Trooper
Type: Tactical
Source: Complete Warrior
You are adept at breaking up formations of soldiers when you rush into battle.
Prerequisite: Improved Bull Rush, Power Attack, base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: The Shock Trooper feat enables the use of three tactical maneuvers.
Directed Bull Rush: To use this maneuver, you must make a successful bull rush attempt as part of a charge. For every square you push your foe hack, you may also push that foe one square to the left or right.
Domino Rush: To use this maneuver, you must make a successful bull rush attempt that forces a foe into the same square as another foe. You may make a free trip attempt against both foes at the same rime, and neither foe gets a chance to trip you if your attempt fails.
Heedless Charge: To use this maneuver, you must charge and make the attack at the end of the charge using your Power Attack feat. The penalty you take on your attack roll must be -5 or worse. In addition to normal charge modifiers (which give you a -2 penalty to AC and a +2 bonus on the attack roll), you can assign any portion of the attack roll penalty from Power Attack to your Armor Class instead, up to a maximum equal to your base attack bonus.
Special: A fighter may select Shock Trooper as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Improved Grab (Ex)
To use this ability, a marilith must hit with its tail slap attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it succeeds on the grapple check, it can constrict.
Spell-Like Abilities

Part 1 or 2
She stood upon the broken plane of Avernus, surveying a field of carnage. Endless rows of fiends and mortals surged forth beneath her, crashing into her enemies. Expendable. They would die killing diabolic shock troops who were themselves expendable to their master, the Lady Zariel of the First. Somewhere beyond those lines her true enemy hid, cloaked in magic. And killing her would not only win the battle but this entire stage of the endless Blood War. Unlikely as that would be, her schemes had made it a possibility. Diplomacy could someimes win greater victories than any battle.
But this battle was more than a distractrion, her enemies had important resources here in the Golden Forges of Kagat and looting them would take her closer to victory. The Diabolic line rolled back, putting her vanguard in the beginning of a bulge that would surely turn into an encirclement. She sneered. Her opposing general thought her a fool, and he could go on thinking that for a while longer. The loss of a few thousand Dretches, Manes, Rutterkin and Mortals would weaken her less than overconfidence would weaken the Baatezu. Devils were predictable when you understood their way of thinking. They would crush her vanguard, and were surely already moving up hidden troops to attack her flanks and rear.

Her opponent thought that he had chosen the site of this battle. He was mistaken.
They moved sooner than she had expected. So much the better. Fighting a Demonic army on the defensive must have unnerved them. Before the jaws of the enemies trap closed on a near third of her shock troops she felt the report of Asenavi the Merciful, her Captain of the Left. She was under heavy attack by a sizeable force of Hamatula and Barbazu, joined by a company of Osyluth and an elite core of Cornugons. It was a force designed to cut trough the corps of Babau, Bar Igura and Hezrou it attacked and in time it would. Even the skill of her officers could only delay the end. But that would have to be enough. A brief command sent a fraction of her reserves to their aid. That, and the strength of the demonic resistance would convince the enemy general that she had committed a major portion of her strength there. That and - silence.
So, her enemy had some tricks of his own. Several spellcasters of not inconsiderable level if they could act on such a scale. Lieutenants on the edge of the flank confirmed her suspicions, as did a dark miasma on the horizon. No demon would leave that part of the battlefield alive, blocked off from teleportation, burning in black flames and under assault by a force a fraction the size of their own but a dozen times their power. It wouldn't be long before the enemy would commit that force again to another part of the battlefield, all but undamaged by her defenders. She ground her teeth. Never underestimate a Devil. Now the real battle would begin and the pace shift to lightning strikes.
In the center of the battlefield the two vanguards battled on, all but irrelevant to the final outcome. Daiasath the Bold had done well in that ungrateful role, breaking the encirclement, reuniting her two forces of rabble and cutting off a slice of the enemy's rabble in the process. Clever girl, too bad her disloyalty was so obvious. Still, if she survived this she would deserve a promotion for that feat alone.
The strength of the enemies assault on her flank meant that a significant portion of their mobile forces were committed there. That would make this the perfect time to go on the offensive. Sending her center forward like an avalance in a pincer movement around the blood drenched vanguards and her right flank moving with unnatural speed into the surprised enemy Left she signalled open desperation to her unknown opponent. A feint, but not one he could afford to ignore. The attack would cause a ripple in the lines of her foes, a wave of communication that could be read and traced to their source. And then...
"My Lady," a tiny mortal in a dirty cloak, a Halfling or perhaps a Gnome if such distinctions mattered, spoke out in a weary but triumphant voice. "I believe I have found him and I know his defenses." He coughs, expelling blood and viscera, only some of it his own. "Now, can I have More?" "You can have all you desire, once our victory is complete. Those were the terms of your contract, and far more generous than you deserve. Ready yourself, and your acolytes. The time has come."
Space folded and she stepped trough. To the chanting chorus of a hundred mortal casters, the roaring of the Horde and the shrieking noise of layers of magic wards ripped apart she committed herself and her elite guard to combat. There stood the enemy general, a Pit Fiend towering over all others in the great hall, fury radiating from him in palpable waves. "Filth! Incompetent traitors!" She gave him no more time to curse his troops. With a hiss she crossed the space between them and her many weapons clashed with his flesh. He did not last long.
2/2 (unfinished)
Trough some intrigue and support from her victorious army she manages to briefly become the ruler of a level of the Abyss (let's say nr 1351). While she struggles to maintain control of her realm it's invaded by another Lord. Betrayed, she's defeated in battle, captured and put to death. A long drawn out death that makes her question her alignment. Then, some 3400 years later, she awakes in the strangest of circumstances.

Additional Feats/Class Features:
Skill Focus (Diplomacy), Stunning Fist, Unarmed Strike, Minor Aura (Over the Top).
Power Lunge
Type: General
Sources: Enemies and Allies
Ghostwalk
Sword and Fist
Your ferocious attack may catch an opponent unprepared.
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +3, Power Attack.
Benefit: A successful attack roll during a charge allows you to add double your normal Strength modifier to the attack's damage, regardless of whether you're using one- or two-handed weapons. You provoke an attack of opportunity from the opponent you charged.
Leap Attack
Type: General
Source: Complete Adventurer
You can combine a powerful charge and a mighty leap into one devastating attack.
Prerequisite: Jump 8 ranks, Power Attack.
Benefit: You can combine a jump with a charge against an opponent. If you cover at least 10 feet of horizontal distance with your jump, and you end your jump in a square from which you threaten your target, you can double the extra damage dealt by your use of the Power Attack feat. If you use this tactic with a two-handed weapon, you instead triple the extra damage from Power Attack. (Erratad to x4 for two-handed weapons)
This attack must follow all the normal rules for using the Jump skill and for making a charge, except that you ignore rough terrain in any squares you jump over.
Shock Trooper
Type: Tactical
Source: Complete Warrior
You are adept at breaking up formations of soldiers when you rush into battle.
Prerequisite: Improved Bull Rush, Power Attack, base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: The Shock Trooper feat enables the use of three tactical maneuvers.
Directed Bull Rush: To use this maneuver, you must make a successful bull rush attempt as part of a charge. For every square you push your foe hack, you may also push that foe one square to the left or right.
Domino Rush: To use this maneuver, you must make a successful bull rush attempt that forces a foe into the same square as another foe. You may make a free trip attempt against both foes at the same rime, and neither foe gets a chance to trip you if your attempt fails.
Heedless Charge: To use this maneuver, you must charge and make the attack at the end of the charge using your Power Attack feat. The penalty you take on your attack roll must be -5 or worse. In addition to normal charge modifiers (which give you a -2 penalty to AC and a +2 bonus on the attack roll), you can assign any portion of the attack roll penalty from Power Attack to your Armor Class instead, up to a maximum equal to your base attack bonus.
Special: A fighter may select Shock Trooper as one of his fighter bonus feats.
Special Attacks
Constrict 4d6+38+3+16fire, improved grab, spell-like abilities, summon demon
Special Qualities

Improved Grab (Ex)
To use this ability, a marilith must hit with its tail slap attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it succeeds on the grapple check, it can constrict.
Spell-Like Abilities
At will—align weapon, blade barrier (DC 32), magic weapon, project image (DC 30), see invisibility, telekinesis (DC 31), greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), unholy aura (DC 34). Caster level 16th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

Once per day a marilith can attempt to summon 4d10 dretches, 1d4 hezrou, or one nalfeshnee with a 50% chance of success, or one glabrezu or another marilith with a 20% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 5th-level spell.

Mariliths continuously use this ability, as the spell (caster level 16th).
Skills

Name: Omega
Race: Warforged
Class/Level: Warlock 30
Description: Omega stands a little taller than an average human at exactly six feet, though it walks with a slight hunch that makes it look a few inches shorter. Its head is set on a short articulated neck that angles forward, furthering the visual impression that the construct is constantly 'leaning forward.' Its arms are long, but spindly-looking. Its right arm has some kind of complicated weapon system built into it. Its left arm has a reinforced forearm brace with a round plate of metal attached. Its legs are more powerful looking, with digitigrade posture and some kind of advanced 'exoskeleton' built around the feet and ankles.
The construct's 'skin' is silvery metal that gleams like quicksilver. Etched into it, all over, are arcane runes that gleam with gentle blue effulgence. Potent abjurations glare out of every one, creating formidable mystic defenses against harm both magic and physical. There are plates and portions which look removable that radiate magic and could perhaps be adapted to serve as magical items for other creatures. It has no mouth, but can speak in a hollow, inflectionless voice. The only facial 'feature' it has are the red eyes that burn out of its angular head.

Knowledge Checks:
[sblock=DC 10+19 (arcana)] Though resembling a small golem in some respects, Omega displays intelligence and cunning far beyond that of a normal 'mindless' construct.[/sblock]
[sblock=DC 15+20 (arcana)] The intricacy and power of the runes and layered magical defenses and attacks represents advanced techniques that have been lost for thousands of years. Even if those techniques were recovered though, the expense of creating something like this could bankrupt an entire kingdom.[/sblock]
[sblock=DC 20+3 (arcana)] The specific runes and sigils in the construct's hide are of a particular alphabet used almost exclusively by an ancient mageocratic country called Predas. The nation fell to the superior military might of Targas Empire during their third, and last, campaign to extend their borders by warfare. [/sblock]
[sblock=DC 25+19 (arcana)] Records from the Targas Empire during its decline made mention of a 'demon of metal and fury' attacking their border outposts and eventually even razing villages. As this destructive force slowly, but relentlessly, pierced farther into the Empire they were obliged to commit ever larger forces to try to stop it. This weakened their borders sufficiently that barbarian invaders finished what this 'demon' began, and the Empire slowly collapsed over the course of a hundred years.[/sblock]
[sblock=DC 30+4 (arcana)] The demon was said to fight craftily, engaging from afar to pick off commanders and mages (whom it appeared to be able to discern regardless of disguise) before appearing in the midst of the army, blasting indiscriminately with rapid-firing magical bolts that could dissolve flesh or 'devour souls.' Its hide was unnaturally tough, and it rapidly self-repaired what little damage could be done to it. All accounts agree on one element; the beast's furious speed, both of attack and of movement.[/sblock]
[sblock=DC 40+8 (arcana)] The so-called 'demon of Predas' was finally destroyed as it assaulted the capital city of the Empire in an apparent attempt to kill the Emperor himself. One of the Emperor's bodyguards knew enough magic to read a scroll, but evidently not enough to merit assassination by sniping. As the demon murdered the honor guard, and the few mages' still alive watched their spells bounce harmlessly off of its hide and shield, this guard read a scroll of Antimagic, surrounding himself in a globe of negation. He then jumped the monster from behind and latched on as tightly as he could. To his astonishment, he discovered the creature was not particularly strong, and he had no trouble holding off its attempts to dislodge him. In the absence of the magic it depended on, the remaining guard had much less trouble defeating its defenses and finally managed to beat it until it stopped repairing itself. Its inert body was then made into a statue. By that time however, the disastrous toll it had taken on the already overextended Empire made its eventual dissolution assured.[/sblock]
[sblock=A Little History]3000 years ago, The Targas Empire was the force that unified most of the disparate tribes, petty kingdoms and far flung nations of the continent for nearly two thousand years. It is because of the Targas that there can now be said to be a 'common' language, and a common system of measuring weights for coin and other materials. Though it didn't fall in one night, when it fell it took a great deal with it; ushering in a 500 year dark age of ignorance and degeneration that is only now beginning to lift.
The Targas were originally primitive tribal humans who, unusually for such people, had all pledged to serve one man who's name was...shockingly...Targas. The individual became an office when he died, with warriors battling for the honor and privilege of becoming the next Targas.
In time the entire people took that name for their ethnicity as well. Because the tribes acknowledge a single leader, they could more easily coordinate actions. Disputes could be arbitrated, rather than leading to bloodshed. As the tribes prospered, they began to need more land and more food. The obvious solution was to expand. This happened again, in three intervals. By the end of the third, the Empire was so stretched that its garrisons were needed on all frontiers to quell unrest. When trouble struck at home, requiring troops to be diverted...the subsequent weakening of the borders started a chain reaction that eventually led to the destruction of the Empire. The last Emperor is recorded as being slain in the Imperial Year 1997, and while there was squabbling for the throne afterwards, no one ever convincingly managed to claim it. Even so, it was 500 years later before most scholars agree that the Empire was truly dead. [/sblock]
Race: Warforged
Class/Level: Warlock 30
Description: Omega stands a little taller than an average human at exactly six feet, though it walks with a slight hunch that makes it look a few inches shorter. Its head is set on a short articulated neck that angles forward, furthering the visual impression that the construct is constantly 'leaning forward.' Its arms are long, but spindly-looking. Its right arm has some kind of complicated weapon system built into it. Its left arm has a reinforced forearm brace with a round plate of metal attached. Its legs are more powerful looking, with digitigrade posture and some kind of advanced 'exoskeleton' built around the feet and ankles.
The construct's 'skin' is silvery metal that gleams like quicksilver. Etched into it, all over, are arcane runes that gleam with gentle blue effulgence. Potent abjurations glare out of every one, creating formidable mystic defenses against harm both magic and physical. There are plates and portions which look removable that radiate magic and could perhaps be adapted to serve as magical items for other creatures. It has no mouth, but can speak in a hollow, inflectionless voice. The only facial 'feature' it has are the red eyes that burn out of its angular head.

Appearance of the Vampire:
In the classic fashion of a bygone era, this striking man could blend into any crowd, on any prime material plane just after sunset. His polished white skin is marbled with the softest network of grey veins. A pair of thin braids fall in front of his long and delicately pointed ears, creating a divider between the white of his stern face and the shining white of the rest of his perfectly combed long hair. When he deigns to slide the pair of burning red lenses down his perfect nose, his pale blue eyes can stop nearly anyone in their tracks.
Dressed in the finest black silks, his supple leather boots and gloves have been dyed the deepest crimson. While the outside of the cloak he wears is the fine black fur of some type of hunting cat, but the inside of it is blood red. And the fact that the garment hangs several feet below his hanging feet only accentuates the truth that Hanshu's boots rarely if ever touch the ground. Nobody is surprised when Hanshu simply vanishes from every form of perception, and ragged wounds appear on the enemy before they fall to pieces.
All of his jewelry and accessories, including the pair of prism crystals that orbit his head, are made of varying shades of red gemstones set in silver. Although he seems to carry no weapons beyond the blackened leather gauntlets on his hands and a quiver on his back, without the slightest indication he can be wielding a huge bow or a pair of immpossibly long black curved blades that shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow if any light reflect off of them. An equally menacing black shield floats beside the ancient vampire, also set with a dark red gem that seems to pull it in front of projectiles sent in its owner's direction.[sblock=Hanshu]
[sblock=Fluff]
Personality:
Having been around for over a thousand years before being
staked, Hanshu has gotten over the whole "Blah I'm evil!" thing and has become something of an altruist. And while he loves nothing more than a good long conversation with a beautiful woman, he is still occasionally plagued by fits of horrendous violence that can be the stuff of blackest nightmare. But for the most part he is the very model of a cultured, if flying, gentleman. This vampire from an age long past is eloquent to a fault, as if his linguistic banter is all that keeps him from slaughtering every living thing in sight.
Background:
Hanshu was a legendary thief, even before he drew the attention of the undead
fiend that killed him... the first time.
The Early Years
Born of wealth and privledge, a son of the tyranical ambassador Tasau (DC 40)
stole away during the night to live a secret life. In those dark hours that his
cruel father would have never allowed, he discovered the truth of the world.
Hanshu's days as a boy were filled with harsh lessons of decorum and poise on
more than threat of violent reproach, should his presentation be anything but
perfect. But by night he learned of excess and to hone his instincts, moving
through alleys that not one of his illustrious tutors would walk down on a dare.
And while he learned to play the part of the dutiful son like a true prodigy,
the lavish galas that he was forced to attend, at all the neighboring palaces
and mansions, became an endless series of scouting missions to case the most
valuable treasures. Later he would return to liberate these baubles, even though
he rarely kept what he stole from the oppulent collections.
The military precision of his daily fencing lessons with the palace gaurd served
him well on more than one occasion, augmented by the savage improv of barroom
brawlers and backalley sneakthieves. During his formative years Hanshu learned
the brutally versatile mastery of the katana in secret, while using the much
lighter western blades of a "gentleman" inside the walled courtyard of his
fathers home. The young aristocrat's fighting style soon became known however,
and during one of his nightly outings, a wealthy onlooker caught the end of an
arguement between a pair of hooded ruffians where swords were drawn. Word moved
quickly through the circles of highest society, and Hanshu was forced to flee
for his life when his father flew into such a murderous rage at the slight to
his reputation.
Needing money for the first time in his life, the highborn rogue was very glad to
possess the skills to suvive. He traveled far from the reach of his blood-thirsty
father. During a spectacular display of athleticism however the elf attracted the
most unfortunate attention of a different kind of creature that hungered for the
blood running through his veins. Hanshu had become quite adept at using words just
as effectively as a sword and had no trouble finding a soft place to lay his beatiful
face each night. His reputation as a legendary lover seemed to almost move faster than
he could, as women began seeking him out to test the legend for themselves. One in
particular watched from the shadows of the brothels and winehalls, to the parlors
and more private chambers of the proper ladies he visited throughout many empires.
And he let her watch, never letting on that he saw her.
Over the decades that followed, rumors abounded that a young elven rogue had fathered
more than a thousand children throughout the whole of the land. Born of everyone
from the lowliest of tavern wenches to the royal consorts of numerous thrones. (DC 30)
He crossed seas and stole fortunes, from the most ruthless beasts and ancient families,
Nothing and no woman was safe from either the skill or the charms of the gentleman
thief, and wherever he went, the mysterious woman with the fiery eyes watched,
and waited. Until he discovered her watching him one night. The woman didn't smile,
or introduce herself, or take him to her bed. She simply tore out his throat with
her teeth and drank his blood until it stopped pumping out of him, and left his body
laying in the street. Nothing more than a meal with an interesting story.
The Arisen
Waking in a box not withstanding, discovering himself now a member of the undead
was quite a shock. In all his dealings before that bitch killed him, he had never
run across any monsters besides those stinking dwarven merchants or those hafling
pipsqueaks. His beautiful golden hair and tanned skin had been drained of all their
lustrous color, leaving him a pale imitation of his former self. But this didn't
seem to matter to the ladies who took him in that night just before dawn. They
fawned over his pale skin and lovely long white hair, saying over and over how
lovely and exotic his features were. At sunset he woke covered in their blood,
and ran screaming from the house in a mindless rage.
For an entire year he fought and screamed in denial at the thing he had become.
He hacked off his hair and carved his flesh only to find himself as handsome and
whole as ever moments later. Weapons did not cut him, poisons could not slay him,
and Hanshu suffered in anguish until he once more felt the craving for blood.
And then she was there again, that bitch that had done this horrible thing to him,
the woman with the fiery eyes.
He attacked her with a fury that he never even knew was inside him. For hours they
fought, tearing hunks out of eachother with hair and blood flying in all directions.
As the first hints of sunlight touched the horizon, the woman put a bit of distance
between them, and told him they could keep fighting after sunset if he really needed
to continue. So they met every night for weeks, fighting nonstop from dusk til dawn.
It became more of a dance after while, once they learned eachother's moves she began
talking to him as he tried to kill her. She told him what he was, how she thought
he could appreciate the gift she had given him, and that she was Evaine (DC 15). But
his rage could not be placated, and as they continued he started getting closer and
closer to casuing her serious harm. So with a wink, she blew him a kiss and vanished
right before his eyes...
The Fury
He raged for centuries, absolutely sure that if he was going to be a monster he would
do it properly. The elf laid waste to friends, families, sleepy hamlets, and after a
time systematically razed an entire city that gave rise to an entire army of vampire
spawn loyal to the legendary progenitor of the great vampiric plague (DC 35) during
the second age of monsters, Hanshu. He carted away moutnains of treasure now that he
had no qualms about slaughtering the owners. The shiny bits he had become so acustomed
to grabbing whenever the opportunity arose became second nature.
Nothing was safe from his endless rampage be it humanoid, beast, undead or aberration.
Anything that had a mind grew to understand that this unassuming White Elf (DC 10) was
a being so purely malevolent and unmerciful that the only thing they could do if they
happened to see him coming, was run in the opposite direction. The mindless rabble that
trudged across the surface of the realm stood little chance against the hell that
followed with him. At the head of a tidal wave of pestilence, nations were divided by
the swaths of destruction he wrought across whole continents. Many fiends and monstrous
races crawled out of the woodwork as they were driven into the open by death weilding
swords instead of the more traditional scythe.
Petty squabbles were put aside, power struggles were paused, and kingdoms that had been
at war for generations were suddenly facing an adversary that they could not vanquish
on their own. Legions of heroes, adventurers, and treasure seekers arose as the 1st
crusade (DC 20) swung into full gear. The cowering masses of civilization grew angry
and took to the streets, burning out every sewer, swarming through every abandoned
building, and scouring every cave for any creature unlike themselves...and kill it.
The parade of hunters that saught Hanshu out to make a name for themselves, honed his
skill with his katanas that he could channel massive energy through his blades...
The Awakened
Eight hundred years of slaughter saw The White Elf span not only several entire material
planes but many inner and outer planes as well. Slowly and against all odds, Hanshu had
grown weary of the sounds of screams. So he desided to seek knowledge for a while
instead of carnage. He began to quest for the most ancient keepers of secret lore and
martial ways...the Masters of the Nine. Atop the highest spire of a forgotten mountain
range on the plane of shadow sat the timeless ruin of a temple. In the center of this
temple, an insectoid being hovered before a single candle in the lotus position. Its
four segmented hands continually moved through a series of alien gestures in smooth
and flowing motions as it stared past the flame. Hanshu wasn't sure if the creature was
conscious or blind or insane as it did not acknowledge his presence as the powerful
vampire stepped through the broken archway and took a seat opposite the tiny flame,
without uttering a word.
Clu'Thrah (DC 25) was a true Master of Nine and had also grown tired of the incessant
noise of other things some time before. So the Thri Kreen became the instructor to
a vampire that was nearly 750 years his senior. Each movement was copied as closely
as a different species could, and the energy flowed between them. From far across the
demi-plane of shadow massive flashes of light could be seen silloueting the temple
against the empty blackness above the ground of that desolate place.
Placing the last great stone at the foot of the master's grave Hanshu placed a pale
hand on the sarcophogus he had fashioned for his friend and teacher in the center of
the temple that become a home for many years. Without the life force of the old bug
however, the ruin suddenly seemed like nothing more than a pile of rocks. So he left
the plane of shadow for the last time, it was time to go back and see the plane he had
originally called his own.
His material plane had changed a great deal since the last time he had seen it. Monsters
openly roamed the countryside while the peoples of the land cowered in their homes.
The great cities that had dotted the lands had been razed nothing but ash, and the great
nations that had claimed them had been all but forgotten. Fueldal lords claimed as much
land as they could, but no more as the terrors that strode through the heavy fog banks
were more than most bands could handle. A few of the people he passed in the towns he
visited bore a passing resemblance to the vampire that passed them unnoticed in the dark.
He found vampire spawn hiding here and there in his travels cowering in graveyards and
ancient sewer systems, snatching babies and drunks in the night.
Hanshu eventually figured he should do something with the veritable ocean of cash he had
accumulated in a myriad of hidden places throughout the lands he had demolished centuries
before. So he decided to build a city just for his kind. He found a bottomless fissure
deep in the misty eastern mountain range and set out hiring every stonemason he could find
to carve a city from the living rock in the insides of the great chasm. The city of
Mon'Sharu (DC 20) was completed in a mere twenty years with the limitless wealth that
the White Elf had at his dispossal.
Word spread through the underworld that vampires were welcome in the new city of shadows.
Beastly spellstitched barbaric vampires came flooding off the windswept plains. Little
more than mindless slavering atrocities, Hanshu was ashamed of his own race for the first
time in half a millenium. Eventually other old vampire would trickle into town, trying to
throw their weight around in the same old ways about the same old topics. This way is
better than that way, or my idea is better than your idea. And the vampire nation suddenly
had a capital. Living workers were brought in from all over and slowly farmed for food
without leaving a huge festering pile of bodies for families to miss and get angry about.
Things were going well in Mon'Sharu for quite some time, when who should walk into the
private chambers of Hanshu himself but the fiery eyed Evaine in the 2 millenium old flesh.
"You ready for the next round?"
The Cleansing of Mon'Sharu
Like so many other societies and kingdoms before, people like having something to blame
besides themselves. Hanshu and Evaine stroll across one of the bridges that span the two
sides of the fantastic city he had built, hand in hand getting ready to retire for the
short day. None of the other vampires were allowed on the lowest levels where they shared
quarters. The sun was just touching the top of the western face as the warning bells
sounded as clay pots of oil began to rain into the chasm of Mon'Sharu shattering against
the high stone walls. Soldiers began to flow into the city, down the steps and ladders
and bridges like water. Every moment that passed brought the sun closer to flooding the
open portions of the city in deadly sunlight. The vampires tore through soldiers as if
they were made of tissue paper, but the living horde of enemy soldiers were spurred on
by the deep pockets of greedy men who wanted the prosperous city of shadows for themselves.
The elder vampires emerged from their chambers to wade into the fray with prescious little
time to spare before the sun bathed them in fiery death. An eerie Deeper darkness rose from
the bottom of the city as Hanshu himself entered the battle to protect what he had spent so
long creating. Wooden arrows rained down from above as battalions of archers on the slopes
above, emptied quivers in high arcs toward the yawning mouth of the fissure in the side of the
mountainous peaks. A few of the elder vampires were not among these undead warriors however,
Anlar, Ronshuvian and Bakalus (DC 35) could not be found.
From outside the city and down the slope of the mountain, a dark curtain started to rise from
the chasm like a sunrise in reverse. Hanshu flashed up into the air above the edge of the cliff
face with that all too familiar burning rage bright in his eyes. He slaughtered hundreds in a
strait line from the city to the malevolently grinning generals at the back of the army.
This wasn't some ragtag army of a neighboring kingdom, but a quiltwork merc army of specialized
squads. This army wasn't on any crusade - they had been hired. Moments before the white elf got
to the leaders of this rabble however, the order was given and a special platoon of fire archers
let blazing arrows fly into the oil soaked city.
The wall of flame that was belched forth from the enterance of the hidden city shot hundreds
of feet into the sky. And to make matters worse, within moments of that fateful instant the sun
reached its zenith and the open center of Mon'Sharu was illuminated by the harsh light of day.
The roars of ancient vampires exploding rocked the montainside, knocking half the remaining
army from their already shaky feet as hanshu cut the last of the generals in half with a massive
single blow that spun him back towards the city just as all this happened. He raced back to the
burning city as fast as he could cut a path back through the milling sea of archers, his arms
and legs peirced by so many arrows that he could barely swing his massive swords. So dismissing
them to the ring that was their sheath, he flew up above the flailing bodies to get back to her.
Topping the edge of the city once more, Hanshu saw all that he had built charred black. The
darkness that traveled with him creating a small area of shade from the burning sun. He flew
down to where Evaine had been fighting before, but the ashes of fallen vampires and men was thick
on these lowest levels. He tore through the deeper chambers where the suns rays and splashed oil
could not penetrate to no avail. Crossing to the other side of the city in a frenzy, he could
not believe what his eyes saw there. The group of old and sodded vampires had Evaine on her knees,
and beheaded her right in front of him, her body falling to ash from the bridge where she was
executed by her own kind. The roar that escaped him then silenced all other sounds of battle, as
the satisfied smirks vainshed from the undead faces that now looked upon their final deaths.
As Hanshu rose from bridge to close with the traitorous fiends, a trio of wicked black arrows
sprouted from his chest, unable to have passed anywhere but strait through his cold dead heart.
The gorgeous white skin of his chiseled face withered into the blackened husk of anything that
had been dead for almost a thousand years must look like. And the last thing he saw as he fell into
the abyss beneath his city of Mon'Sharu was the grins return to the greedy faces of petty things
before he vanished beyond the reach of the suns rays.
Bouncing off the rocky walls of the chasm, the body was broken and battered as a sound Hanshu could
barely hear grew louder and louder. The fissure actually did have a bottom, as an underground river
raged from one end to another, and that would be his true end. No vamipre could sink beneath the
surface of rushing water without being utterly destroyed forever. However when the desicated body
of Hanshu finally hit the bottom, it was not reported with a splash, but with a bristly dry crunch.
His staked form had become wedged in a rocky outcrop, barely a few yards from the roiling black
water where no vampire could come to find it. So there he laid slain and oblivious...again, little
more than a chunk of firewood wrapped in spectacular magic items where nobody ever thought or
cared to look for the legendary White Elf - Hanshu.[/sblock]The Lore of Hanshu [sblock=Knowledge (History)]
DC 18 The Vampire that sired him was named Evaine. Hanshu tried to kill her for weeks after she
turned him. She met her final death during the cleansing of Mon'Sharu, after living with him
there for many decades.
DC 27 Hanshu was known on many planes as The White Elf. Reputed to have been given to him by a
demonic beast who's name has been lost to the sands of time. But it was rumored that the loss of
several limbs was involved.
DC 29 Caused the 1st crusade after his vampiric army became a scrouge to the entirety of living
society, leading to the genocide of all things unnatural.
DC 35 Founded Mon'Sharu, the city of shadows in a mountain ravine.
DC 35 Before he was turned into a vampire, Hanshu supposedly fathered more than 1000 children by
nearly as many women. His line has survived to this day.
DC 36 Hanshu spawned the vampiric plague that began the second age of monsters, by slaughtering
the entire population of a small city single handedly, who then rose and spread across the land.
DC 41 The Master of Nine that taught Hanshu his true mastery of combat manuevering was Clu'Thrah.
Near the end of his time training Hanshu, the Thri Kreen died of extreme old age on the demiplane
of shadow.
DC 43 Hanshu's father was the Ambassador Tasau Mon'saru, who tried to kill Hanshu for streetfighting
as he saw it as an afront to his reputation. He is also where Hanshu got his legendary mean streak.
He was one of the first people Hanshu ate after rising as a vampire.
DC 55 The traitorous vampires Anlar, Ronshuvian and Bakalus hired the mercenary army that cleansed
the city of Mon'Sharu that ultimately lead to Hanshu's slaying.

In the classic fashion of a bygone era, this striking man could blend into any crowd, on any prime material plane just after sunset. His polished white skin is marbled with the softest network of grey veins. A pair of thin braids fall in front of his long and delicately pointed ears, creating a divider between the white of his stern face and the shining white of the rest of his perfectly combed long hair. When he deigns to slide the pair of burning red lenses down his perfect nose, his pale blue eyes can stop nearly anyone in their tracks.
Dressed in the finest black silks, his supple leather boots and gloves have been dyed the deepest crimson. While the outside of the cloak he wears is the fine black fur of some type of hunting cat, but the inside of it is blood red. And the fact that the garment hangs several feet below his hanging feet only accentuates the truth that Hanshu's boots rarely if ever touch the ground. Nobody is surprised when Hanshu simply vanishes from every form of perception, and ragged wounds appear on the enemy before they fall to pieces.
All of his jewelry and accessories, including the pair of prism crystals that orbit his head, are made of varying shades of red gemstones set in silver. Although he seems to carry no weapons beyond the blackened leather gauntlets on his hands and a quiver on his back, without the slightest indication he can be wielding a huge bow or a pair of immpossibly long black curved blades that shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow if any light reflect off of them. An equally menacing black shield floats beside the ancient vampire, also set with a dark red gem that seems to pull it in front of projectiles sent in its owner's direction.[sblock=Hanshu]

Having been around for over a thousand years before being
staked, Hanshu has gotten over the whole "Blah I'm evil!" thing and has become something of an altruist. And while he loves nothing more than a good long conversation with a beautiful woman, he is still occasionally plagued by fits of horrendous violence that can be the stuff of blackest nightmare. But for the most part he is the very model of a cultured, if flying, gentleman. This vampire from an age long past is eloquent to a fault, as if his linguistic banter is all that keeps him from slaughtering every living thing in sight.
Background:
Hanshu was a legendary thief, even before he drew the attention of the undead
fiend that killed him... the first time.
The Early Years
Born of wealth and privledge, a son of the tyranical ambassador Tasau (DC 40)
stole away during the night to live a secret life. In those dark hours that his
cruel father would have never allowed, he discovered the truth of the world.
Hanshu's days as a boy were filled with harsh lessons of decorum and poise on
more than threat of violent reproach, should his presentation be anything but
perfect. But by night he learned of excess and to hone his instincts, moving
through alleys that not one of his illustrious tutors would walk down on a dare.
And while he learned to play the part of the dutiful son like a true prodigy,
the lavish galas that he was forced to attend, at all the neighboring palaces
and mansions, became an endless series of scouting missions to case the most
valuable treasures. Later he would return to liberate these baubles, even though
he rarely kept what he stole from the oppulent collections.
The military precision of his daily fencing lessons with the palace gaurd served
him well on more than one occasion, augmented by the savage improv of barroom
brawlers and backalley sneakthieves. During his formative years Hanshu learned
the brutally versatile mastery of the katana in secret, while using the much
lighter western blades of a "gentleman" inside the walled courtyard of his
fathers home. The young aristocrat's fighting style soon became known however,
and during one of his nightly outings, a wealthy onlooker caught the end of an
arguement between a pair of hooded ruffians where swords were drawn. Word moved
quickly through the circles of highest society, and Hanshu was forced to flee
for his life when his father flew into such a murderous rage at the slight to
his reputation.
Needing money for the first time in his life, the highborn rogue was very glad to
possess the skills to suvive. He traveled far from the reach of his blood-thirsty
father. During a spectacular display of athleticism however the elf attracted the
most unfortunate attention of a different kind of creature that hungered for the
blood running through his veins. Hanshu had become quite adept at using words just
as effectively as a sword and had no trouble finding a soft place to lay his beatiful
face each night. His reputation as a legendary lover seemed to almost move faster than
he could, as women began seeking him out to test the legend for themselves. One in
particular watched from the shadows of the brothels and winehalls, to the parlors
and more private chambers of the proper ladies he visited throughout many empires.
And he let her watch, never letting on that he saw her.
Over the decades that followed, rumors abounded that a young elven rogue had fathered
more than a thousand children throughout the whole of the land. Born of everyone
from the lowliest of tavern wenches to the royal consorts of numerous thrones. (DC 30)
He crossed seas and stole fortunes, from the most ruthless beasts and ancient families,
Nothing and no woman was safe from either the skill or the charms of the gentleman
thief, and wherever he went, the mysterious woman with the fiery eyes watched,
and waited. Until he discovered her watching him one night. The woman didn't smile,
or introduce herself, or take him to her bed. She simply tore out his throat with
her teeth and drank his blood until it stopped pumping out of him, and left his body
laying in the street. Nothing more than a meal with an interesting story.
The Arisen
Waking in a box not withstanding, discovering himself now a member of the undead
was quite a shock. In all his dealings before that bitch killed him, he had never
run across any monsters besides those stinking dwarven merchants or those hafling
pipsqueaks. His beautiful golden hair and tanned skin had been drained of all their
lustrous color, leaving him a pale imitation of his former self. But this didn't
seem to matter to the ladies who took him in that night just before dawn. They
fawned over his pale skin and lovely long white hair, saying over and over how
lovely and exotic his features were. At sunset he woke covered in their blood,
and ran screaming from the house in a mindless rage.
For an entire year he fought and screamed in denial at the thing he had become.
He hacked off his hair and carved his flesh only to find himself as handsome and
whole as ever moments later. Weapons did not cut him, poisons could not slay him,
and Hanshu suffered in anguish until he once more felt the craving for blood.
And then she was there again, that bitch that had done this horrible thing to him,
the woman with the fiery eyes.
He attacked her with a fury that he never even knew was inside him. For hours they
fought, tearing hunks out of eachother with hair and blood flying in all directions.
As the first hints of sunlight touched the horizon, the woman put a bit of distance
between them, and told him they could keep fighting after sunset if he really needed
to continue. So they met every night for weeks, fighting nonstop from dusk til dawn.
It became more of a dance after while, once they learned eachother's moves she began
talking to him as he tried to kill her. She told him what he was, how she thought
he could appreciate the gift she had given him, and that she was Evaine (DC 15). But
his rage could not be placated, and as they continued he started getting closer and
closer to casuing her serious harm. So with a wink, she blew him a kiss and vanished
right before his eyes...
The Fury
He raged for centuries, absolutely sure that if he was going to be a monster he would
do it properly. The elf laid waste to friends, families, sleepy hamlets, and after a
time systematically razed an entire city that gave rise to an entire army of vampire
spawn loyal to the legendary progenitor of the great vampiric plague (DC 35) during
the second age of monsters, Hanshu. He carted away moutnains of treasure now that he
had no qualms about slaughtering the owners. The shiny bits he had become so acustomed
to grabbing whenever the opportunity arose became second nature.
Nothing was safe from his endless rampage be it humanoid, beast, undead or aberration.
Anything that had a mind grew to understand that this unassuming White Elf (DC 10) was
a being so purely malevolent and unmerciful that the only thing they could do if they
happened to see him coming, was run in the opposite direction. The mindless rabble that
trudged across the surface of the realm stood little chance against the hell that
followed with him. At the head of a tidal wave of pestilence, nations were divided by
the swaths of destruction he wrought across whole continents. Many fiends and monstrous
races crawled out of the woodwork as they were driven into the open by death weilding
swords instead of the more traditional scythe.
Petty squabbles were put aside, power struggles were paused, and kingdoms that had been
at war for generations were suddenly facing an adversary that they could not vanquish
on their own. Legions of heroes, adventurers, and treasure seekers arose as the 1st
crusade (DC 20) swung into full gear. The cowering masses of civilization grew angry
and took to the streets, burning out every sewer, swarming through every abandoned
building, and scouring every cave for any creature unlike themselves...and kill it.
The parade of hunters that saught Hanshu out to make a name for themselves, honed his
skill with his katanas that he could channel massive energy through his blades...
The Awakened
Eight hundred years of slaughter saw The White Elf span not only several entire material
planes but many inner and outer planes as well. Slowly and against all odds, Hanshu had
grown weary of the sounds of screams. So he desided to seek knowledge for a while
instead of carnage. He began to quest for the most ancient keepers of secret lore and
martial ways...the Masters of the Nine. Atop the highest spire of a forgotten mountain
range on the plane of shadow sat the timeless ruin of a temple. In the center of this
temple, an insectoid being hovered before a single candle in the lotus position. Its
four segmented hands continually moved through a series of alien gestures in smooth
and flowing motions as it stared past the flame. Hanshu wasn't sure if the creature was
conscious or blind or insane as it did not acknowledge his presence as the powerful
vampire stepped through the broken archway and took a seat opposite the tiny flame,
without uttering a word.
Clu'Thrah (DC 25) was a true Master of Nine and had also grown tired of the incessant
noise of other things some time before. So the Thri Kreen became the instructor to
a vampire that was nearly 750 years his senior. Each movement was copied as closely
as a different species could, and the energy flowed between them. From far across the
demi-plane of shadow massive flashes of light could be seen silloueting the temple
against the empty blackness above the ground of that desolate place.
Placing the last great stone at the foot of the master's grave Hanshu placed a pale
hand on the sarcophogus he had fashioned for his friend and teacher in the center of
the temple that become a home for many years. Without the life force of the old bug
however, the ruin suddenly seemed like nothing more than a pile of rocks. So he left
the plane of shadow for the last time, it was time to go back and see the plane he had
originally called his own.
His material plane had changed a great deal since the last time he had seen it. Monsters
openly roamed the countryside while the peoples of the land cowered in their homes.
The great cities that had dotted the lands had been razed nothing but ash, and the great
nations that had claimed them had been all but forgotten. Fueldal lords claimed as much
land as they could, but no more as the terrors that strode through the heavy fog banks
were more than most bands could handle. A few of the people he passed in the towns he
visited bore a passing resemblance to the vampire that passed them unnoticed in the dark.
He found vampire spawn hiding here and there in his travels cowering in graveyards and
ancient sewer systems, snatching babies and drunks in the night.
Hanshu eventually figured he should do something with the veritable ocean of cash he had
accumulated in a myriad of hidden places throughout the lands he had demolished centuries
before. So he decided to build a city just for his kind. He found a bottomless fissure
deep in the misty eastern mountain range and set out hiring every stonemason he could find
to carve a city from the living rock in the insides of the great chasm. The city of
Mon'Sharu (DC 20) was completed in a mere twenty years with the limitless wealth that
the White Elf had at his dispossal.
Word spread through the underworld that vampires were welcome in the new city of shadows.
Beastly spellstitched barbaric vampires came flooding off the windswept plains. Little
more than mindless slavering atrocities, Hanshu was ashamed of his own race for the first
time in half a millenium. Eventually other old vampire would trickle into town, trying to
throw their weight around in the same old ways about the same old topics. This way is
better than that way, or my idea is better than your idea. And the vampire nation suddenly
had a capital. Living workers were brought in from all over and slowly farmed for food
without leaving a huge festering pile of bodies for families to miss and get angry about.
Things were going well in Mon'Sharu for quite some time, when who should walk into the
private chambers of Hanshu himself but the fiery eyed Evaine in the 2 millenium old flesh.
"You ready for the next round?"
The Cleansing of Mon'Sharu
Like so many other societies and kingdoms before, people like having something to blame
besides themselves. Hanshu and Evaine stroll across one of the bridges that span the two
sides of the fantastic city he had built, hand in hand getting ready to retire for the
short day. None of the other vampires were allowed on the lowest levels where they shared
quarters. The sun was just touching the top of the western face as the warning bells
sounded as clay pots of oil began to rain into the chasm of Mon'Sharu shattering against
the high stone walls. Soldiers began to flow into the city, down the steps and ladders
and bridges like water. Every moment that passed brought the sun closer to flooding the
open portions of the city in deadly sunlight. The vampires tore through soldiers as if
they were made of tissue paper, but the living horde of enemy soldiers were spurred on
by the deep pockets of greedy men who wanted the prosperous city of shadows for themselves.
The elder vampires emerged from their chambers to wade into the fray with prescious little
time to spare before the sun bathed them in fiery death. An eerie Deeper darkness rose from
the bottom of the city as Hanshu himself entered the battle to protect what he had spent so
long creating. Wooden arrows rained down from above as battalions of archers on the slopes
above, emptied quivers in high arcs toward the yawning mouth of the fissure in the side of the
mountainous peaks. A few of the elder vampires were not among these undead warriors however,
Anlar, Ronshuvian and Bakalus (DC 35) could not be found.
From outside the city and down the slope of the mountain, a dark curtain started to rise from
the chasm like a sunrise in reverse. Hanshu flashed up into the air above the edge of the cliff
face with that all too familiar burning rage bright in his eyes. He slaughtered hundreds in a
strait line from the city to the malevolently grinning generals at the back of the army.
This wasn't some ragtag army of a neighboring kingdom, but a quiltwork merc army of specialized
squads. This army wasn't on any crusade - they had been hired. Moments before the white elf got
to the leaders of this rabble however, the order was given and a special platoon of fire archers
let blazing arrows fly into the oil soaked city.
The wall of flame that was belched forth from the enterance of the hidden city shot hundreds
of feet into the sky. And to make matters worse, within moments of that fateful instant the sun
reached its zenith and the open center of Mon'Sharu was illuminated by the harsh light of day.
The roars of ancient vampires exploding rocked the montainside, knocking half the remaining
army from their already shaky feet as hanshu cut the last of the generals in half with a massive
single blow that spun him back towards the city just as all this happened. He raced back to the
burning city as fast as he could cut a path back through the milling sea of archers, his arms
and legs peirced by so many arrows that he could barely swing his massive swords. So dismissing
them to the ring that was their sheath, he flew up above the flailing bodies to get back to her.
Topping the edge of the city once more, Hanshu saw all that he had built charred black. The
darkness that traveled with him creating a small area of shade from the burning sun. He flew
down to where Evaine had been fighting before, but the ashes of fallen vampires and men was thick
on these lowest levels. He tore through the deeper chambers where the suns rays and splashed oil
could not penetrate to no avail. Crossing to the other side of the city in a frenzy, he could
not believe what his eyes saw there. The group of old and sodded vampires had Evaine on her knees,
and beheaded her right in front of him, her body falling to ash from the bridge where she was
executed by her own kind. The roar that escaped him then silenced all other sounds of battle, as
the satisfied smirks vainshed from the undead faces that now looked upon their final deaths.
As Hanshu rose from bridge to close with the traitorous fiends, a trio of wicked black arrows
sprouted from his chest, unable to have passed anywhere but strait through his cold dead heart.
The gorgeous white skin of his chiseled face withered into the blackened husk of anything that
had been dead for almost a thousand years must look like. And the last thing he saw as he fell into
the abyss beneath his city of Mon'Sharu was the grins return to the greedy faces of petty things
before he vanished beyond the reach of the suns rays.
Bouncing off the rocky walls of the chasm, the body was broken and battered as a sound Hanshu could
barely hear grew louder and louder. The fissure actually did have a bottom, as an underground river
raged from one end to another, and that would be his true end. No vamipre could sink beneath the
surface of rushing water without being utterly destroyed forever. However when the desicated body
of Hanshu finally hit the bottom, it was not reported with a splash, but with a bristly dry crunch.
His staked form had become wedged in a rocky outcrop, barely a few yards from the roiling black
water where no vampire could come to find it. So there he laid slain and oblivious...again, little
more than a chunk of firewood wrapped in spectacular magic items where nobody ever thought or
cared to look for the legendary White Elf - Hanshu.[/sblock]The Lore of Hanshu [sblock=Knowledge (History)]
DC 18 The Vampire that sired him was named Evaine. Hanshu tried to kill her for weeks after she
turned him. She met her final death during the cleansing of Mon'Sharu, after living with him
there for many decades.
DC 27 Hanshu was known on many planes as The White Elf. Reputed to have been given to him by a
demonic beast who's name has been lost to the sands of time. But it was rumored that the loss of
several limbs was involved.
DC 29 Caused the 1st crusade after his vampiric army became a scrouge to the entirety of living
society, leading to the genocide of all things unnatural.
DC 35 Founded Mon'Sharu, the city of shadows in a mountain ravine.
DC 35 Before he was turned into a vampire, Hanshu supposedly fathered more than 1000 children by
nearly as many women. His line has survived to this day.
DC 36 Hanshu spawned the vampiric plague that began the second age of monsters, by slaughtering
the entire population of a small city single handedly, who then rose and spread across the land.
DC 41 The Master of Nine that taught Hanshu his true mastery of combat manuevering was Clu'Thrah.
Near the end of his time training Hanshu, the Thri Kreen died of extreme old age on the demiplane
of shadow.
DC 43 Hanshu's father was the Ambassador Tasau Mon'saru, who tried to kill Hanshu for streetfighting
as he saw it as an afront to his reputation. He is also where Hanshu got his legendary mean streak.
He was one of the first people Hanshu ate after rising as a vampire.
DC 55 The traitorous vampires Anlar, Ronshuvian and Bakalus hired the mercenary army that cleansed
the city of Mon'Sharu that ultimately lead to Hanshu's slaying.

Description: The Lady of Dismay has become warped and disfigured after her descent into hell. Her body holds some likeness to a hound archon, but the comparison can easily be missed by the horn sticking out of her head, her demonic wings and claws, her bear-like mouth, lions feet, and cat's tail. Her skin is dark and metallic as if made of cold-iron, and her eyes and mouth emit the eerie glow of hellfire. She wears the same tattered robes she ventured into hell with, all color blackened away as it was near burnt to a crisp from her ordeals. Her only other possesion being a pouch attached to her hip containing components that allow her to use her magical powers. [/sblock]
Backstory:
[sblock]
The tale of the Lady of Dismay is one of trajedy. The forest her clan had lived in for as long as their history draws back had over the last hundred years had become filled with wandering devils. They had long since dedicated themselves to the eradication of the evil invaders, with their clan producing a long line of devil hunters. Dizzy's mother was a story teller, charged with making sure the children of the clan knew their history and role to play in protecting the forest. One night however, she became possessed and started slaughtering the village's children. Dizzy watched as her mother was cut down, as the twisted fiend controlling her popped out and laughed as it scurried into the woods. It was on this day Dizzy's fate as Devil hunter was sealed.
When she was 16, the age of adulthood in her clan, she went with her father on her first hunt. She came back wounded, but in high spirirts as they had brough back the heads of a dozen vile creatures. Her skills continued to develop until she became one of the best hunters in the whole clan. When she was 19, her hunting party stumbled on an excavation site being run by devils and slaves. They launched an attack on the site, and her entire hunting party was slain including her father. However the site was destroyed and all the devils had been slain or run off. She found what looked like a piece to a strange artifact at the site and decided that it must be what the devils were after. She dropped it off at a town bordering the edge of the forest, leaving it with the local church to protect. As she travelled home, she ran into a devious looking sorcerer. The man ranted and raved about how she years of hard work and planning. She knew the man to be dangerous so she drew her sword but it was far too late. With a flick of his hand she lost her ability to move. Laughing maniacally, he introduced himself as Kainin, and proceded to cast a dark and evil incantation on her. Telling her death was too quick, he cursed her and then let her go.
Upon returning to her clan's village, she was greeted by a sight of destruction and agony. The village in ruins, all of her clan slaughtered on the ground. She knew it had to be that damned sorcerer's doing. She buried all of her fallen clan members in their ancestral burial grounds and left the forest in search of Kainin. The devils had spread to the entire area, making her find alot of work as a devil hunter over the next few years. But she began noticing an odd feeling whenever she slayed one. Unsure of what was happening to her, she sought out divine assistance from a church. At first she was turned away, the church members being suspicious of her for some reason. After explaining her plight, they revealed to her that she had a distinctly evil aura around her. They attempted to break the curse that Kainin had set upon her, but his magic was too powerful. Dizzy kept wandering, searching for Devil's to kill, searching for Kainin so she could extract her revenge, searching for a cure for the curse that was afflicting her. It was not long before she noticed the taint of her curse was spreading into her gear. Her sword and armor gained voices, whispering poison into her ear. She resisted them. They instead began to reach out to the people around her, corrupting them into performing evil acts. She would then be accused of working with devils and chased out of town. She knew it was time to get rid of her gear, passed down to her from her father as it was passed down to him for generations. She returned home to lay the items to rest in her clan's burial grounds. She returned a week later to destroy the her familys undead bodies that were ressurected by them.
The act of slaughtering her family was too much for Dizzy, and she finally gave up on life. Screaming to the heaven's, she demanded to know what to do. She was shocked to recieve a response. Out of the forest emerged a whirlwind of glittering sand. Dizzy watched in awe as the sand reformed itself into an elf-like being. The stories her mother had taught her as a child came to mind as Dizzy finally realized who it was that had come calling. Gwynharwyf herself was standing before Dizzy, and the prescense of such a divine entity left Dizzy absent of words. Gwynharwyf informed Dizzy that a great evil was sweeping the lands. And that Dizzy's fate had wound up entwined with that evil. Long ago a wizard with an obssessive quest for knowledge had wanted access to the planes of the gods themselves. When denied, he began constuction of a great portal that could force open any realm. When the gods discovered this plot, they punished the wizard, but found that whatever he had used to overcome the planar protections of the gods made the gate indusctructable. So they dismantled it, and scattered the pieces over the world. The evil sorcerer Kainin was attempting to reconstruct that gate for his master Mephistopheles, ruler of the 8th layer of hell. With that gate they could lay siege to any plane, putting the balance of the world at risk. As for Dizzy's involvement, she had unknowingly prevent Kainin from getting one of the pieces of the gate. The curse placed on Dizzy was designed to corrupt her with the essence of every devil she cut down. Such corruption would eventually consume her and make her a new powerful pawn for the dark sorcerer. However the divine Eladrin offered Dizzy assistance in order to harness the dark powers attempting to consume her soul, and use them to defeat the very man who had placed them upon her to begin with.
Dizzy renewed her quest, backed by the divine power of Gwynharwyf herself. Channeling her dark curse, she found new and powerful ways to employ it to her advantage. Yet, the more powerful she became, the more powerful devils she began to slay, the more powerful devils, the stronger the curse, and the dark manifestations began to appear on her body. Ignoring her deteriorating state, she hunted after Kainin and attempted to prevent him from getting his hands on all the gate pieces. After years of struggling however, Dizzy failed in her quest. The dark spellcaster successfuly collected all the pieces and fled into the depths of hell. Informed by Gwynharwyf, she knew she had to follow. Followers of Gwynharwyf had secured a passageway to the first layer of hell for Dizzy, and she descended into its depths without a second thought. Fighting her way through each layer of hell, she finally made her way down to 8th layer where the portal was being assembled. She finally located Kainin, but was told if she killed him the curse would never go away. The portal was now active and a hoard of devils were travelling to the material plane. She had to act fast. She defeated him and tried to force him to release the curse, but he ended up being slain by an agent of his master Mephistopheles. In the Devil's hand was a soulstone connect to the bargain Mephestopheles had made with Kainin, glowing with the soul of the only man that could save Dizzy. She fought with the beast, but when he was about to lose he used Kainin's soulstone as a spell component in an attempt to empower a spell strong enough to defeat Dizzy. even though the spell failed to stop her, the true damage was done, as the soul of the only person who could break the curse was now forever destroyed. She cut the Devil's head off and proceeded to destroy the magical power sources to the portal. Then she used the divine energy implanted into her by Gwynharwyf to tranport the gate deep into the heart of Celestia where the dvils could not reach it again. The unstable portal itself was still not completely closed after its source was cut off, and Dizzy managed to leap through the rift in order to escape back to the material plane.
Dizzy was expecting to face the devil horde that had crossed through the portal when she reached the other side. She was instead greeted by an army of paladins who had arrived to fight the devils. Corpses of slain fiends littered the earth as the paladins finished off the last of the invaders. Turning to Dizzy, they began to attack her as well. She tried to tell them to stop, but soon realized that the number of Devil's she had butchered on her way though hell had completely transformed her into an abomination of hell. They would not leave her be. Knowing she could not bring herself to attack the forces of good, she was forced to surrender to the paladins. Exhaustion from all the ordeals she was forced to face finally caught up with her as they decided on a scentence of death. The last thought going through her head was that she could finally rest as they chopped it off. [/sblock]

Description: The Lady of Dismay has become warped and disfigured after her descent into hell. Her body holds some likeness to a hound archon, but the comparison can easily be missed by the horn sticking out of her head, her demonic wings and claws, her bear-like mouth, lions feet, and cat's tail. Her skin is dark and metallic as if made of cold-iron, and her eyes and mouth emit the eerie glow of hellfire. She wears the same tattered robes she ventured into hell with, all color blackened away as it was near burnt to a crisp from her ordeals. Her only other possesion being a pouch attached to her hip containing components that allow her to use her magical powers. [/sblock]
Backstory:
[sblock]
The tale of the Lady of Dismay is one of trajedy. The forest her clan had lived in for as long as their history draws back had over the last hundred years had become filled with wandering devils. They had long since dedicated themselves to the eradication of the evil invaders, with their clan producing a long line of devil hunters. Dizzy's mother was a story teller, charged with making sure the children of the clan knew their history and role to play in protecting the forest. One night however, she became possessed and started slaughtering the village's children. Dizzy watched as her mother was cut down, as the twisted fiend controlling her popped out and laughed as it scurried into the woods. It was on this day Dizzy's fate as Devil hunter was sealed.
When she was 16, the age of adulthood in her clan, she went with her father on her first hunt. She came back wounded, but in high spirirts as they had brough back the heads of a dozen vile creatures. Her skills continued to develop until she became one of the best hunters in the whole clan. When she was 19, her hunting party stumbled on an excavation site being run by devils and slaves. They launched an attack on the site, and her entire hunting party was slain including her father. However the site was destroyed and all the devils had been slain or run off. She found what looked like a piece to a strange artifact at the site and decided that it must be what the devils were after. She dropped it off at a town bordering the edge of the forest, leaving it with the local church to protect. As she travelled home, she ran into a devious looking sorcerer. The man ranted and raved about how she years of hard work and planning. She knew the man to be dangerous so she drew her sword but it was far too late. With a flick of his hand she lost her ability to move. Laughing maniacally, he introduced himself as Kainin, and proceded to cast a dark and evil incantation on her. Telling her death was too quick, he cursed her and then let her go.
Upon returning to her clan's village, she was greeted by a sight of destruction and agony. The village in ruins, all of her clan slaughtered on the ground. She knew it had to be that damned sorcerer's doing. She buried all of her fallen clan members in their ancestral burial grounds and left the forest in search of Kainin. The devils had spread to the entire area, making her find alot of work as a devil hunter over the next few years. But she began noticing an odd feeling whenever she slayed one. Unsure of what was happening to her, she sought out divine assistance from a church. At first she was turned away, the church members being suspicious of her for some reason. After explaining her plight, they revealed to her that she had a distinctly evil aura around her. They attempted to break the curse that Kainin had set upon her, but his magic was too powerful. Dizzy kept wandering, searching for Devil's to kill, searching for Kainin so she could extract her revenge, searching for a cure for the curse that was afflicting her. It was not long before she noticed the taint of her curse was spreading into her gear. Her sword and armor gained voices, whispering poison into her ear. She resisted them. They instead began to reach out to the people around her, corrupting them into performing evil acts. She would then be accused of working with devils and chased out of town. She knew it was time to get rid of her gear, passed down to her from her father as it was passed down to him for generations. She returned home to lay the items to rest in her clan's burial grounds. She returned a week later to destroy the her familys undead bodies that were ressurected by them.
The act of slaughtering her family was too much for Dizzy, and she finally gave up on life. Screaming to the heaven's, she demanded to know what to do. She was shocked to recieve a response. Out of the forest emerged a whirlwind of glittering sand. Dizzy watched in awe as the sand reformed itself into an elf-like being. The stories her mother had taught her as a child came to mind as Dizzy finally realized who it was that had come calling. Gwynharwyf herself was standing before Dizzy, and the prescense of such a divine entity left Dizzy absent of words. Gwynharwyf informed Dizzy that a great evil was sweeping the lands. And that Dizzy's fate had wound up entwined with that evil. Long ago a wizard with an obssessive quest for knowledge had wanted access to the planes of the gods themselves. When denied, he began constuction of a great portal that could force open any realm. When the gods discovered this plot, they punished the wizard, but found that whatever he had used to overcome the planar protections of the gods made the gate indusctructable. So they dismantled it, and scattered the pieces over the world. The evil sorcerer Kainin was attempting to reconstruct that gate for his master Mephistopheles, ruler of the 8th layer of hell. With that gate they could lay siege to any plane, putting the balance of the world at risk. As for Dizzy's involvement, she had unknowingly prevent Kainin from getting one of the pieces of the gate. The curse placed on Dizzy was designed to corrupt her with the essence of every devil she cut down. Such corruption would eventually consume her and make her a new powerful pawn for the dark sorcerer. However the divine Eladrin offered Dizzy assistance in order to harness the dark powers attempting to consume her soul, and use them to defeat the very man who had placed them upon her to begin with.
Dizzy renewed her quest, backed by the divine power of Gwynharwyf herself. Channeling her dark curse, she found new and powerful ways to employ it to her advantage. Yet, the more powerful she became, the more powerful devils she began to slay, the more powerful devils, the stronger the curse, and the dark manifestations began to appear on her body. Ignoring her deteriorating state, she hunted after Kainin and attempted to prevent him from getting his hands on all the gate pieces. After years of struggling however, Dizzy failed in her quest. The dark spellcaster successfuly collected all the pieces and fled into the depths of hell. Informed by Gwynharwyf, she knew she had to follow. Followers of Gwynharwyf had secured a passageway to the first layer of hell for Dizzy, and she descended into its depths without a second thought. Fighting her way through each layer of hell, she finally made her way down to 8th layer where the portal was being assembled. She finally located Kainin, but was told if she killed him the curse would never go away. The portal was now active and a hoard of devils were travelling to the material plane. She had to act fast. She defeated him and tried to force him to release the curse, but he ended up being slain by an agent of his master Mephistopheles.

[sblock=Backstory]
Kayla Elzmyr was descended from a long line of heroes and legends. The Elzmyrs before her had all been mighty and noble.. Paladins, Sorcerors, even a few Dragons were amongst her ancestors. Her youthful obsession with music came, needless to say, as somewhat of a letdown to her parents. While her siblings were beginning their careers in politics, studying the finer arts, or off adventuring, all she seemed interested in was music.
Ever since she had been a child, Kayla had heard the Song, it was inside her, all around her, in everything... But when she tried to express it, the sounds she produced came as a shock to those around her.. Metallic, loud, sometimes jarring, and rarely melodic. It wasn't long before she was sent to the temple for some 'military and spiritual guidance'. The two years she spent there, although informative, were hard - both on Kayla and those around her. She was not cut out for the life of a paladin, and though she managed to tap into the divine spark, she could tell that she was 'doing it wrong'. Her power came not from a deity, but from something else, something that called to her. Her time at the temple did settle her somewhat though, calming the chaos within her.
After her unsuccessful attempts to join the ranks of the holy knights, it was decided that perhaps the minor arcane proficiency she'd developed (at the great consternation of the temples head paladin) could be focused into something constructive. Thus was Kayla sent east, to enter the tutelage of her uncle, a wise and powerful master of arcane secrets. She learned quickly under him, and her focus and clarity grew, taking her beyond the shortsightedness that had hindered her as a child. It was while she was attempting to learn the art of combining her different magical styles that she heard it again - The music that had been her life when she was young - only know, it came through so clearly, and at last she understood. It wasn't just about the sound, she was actually hearing the magic behind the world itself... Her mind had just been so unfocused before that it had been unable to translate what she heard. And again, something was calling to her.. but this time, she could follow the call.
Her journey took her deep within the bowels of the earth, over pits of tar, beyond a portal of fire, past the corridor of contradiction, and through the hall of the mountains king she travelled. She bested a devil in a musical duel, convinced a Trumpet Archon that she was worthy of his blessing, and crept past a dragon asleep for so long it had become covered in stalagmite formations.
Finally, Kayla found herself in a chamber untouched for millenia. The song of the ages reverberated throughout the auditorium, and in the center was a pedastal holding an ornate book, its silver-trimmed exterior covered in musical and magical symbols. Above the book floated an imposing looking mace, which introduced itself as the defender of the song.
With the help of "OF", and a great deal of time, Kayla was able to translate and understand the mystical music of the Songbook of the Ages, finally tapping into the song of the universe. Once she understood the book (Or at least a good portion of it, there are verses yet beyond even her grasp) she set out into the world, to spread the word.. Or at least, that was the intention. On her way out of the cavern, she passed once more the sleeping ancient wyrm, and such was OF's hatred of the beast that he could not keep silent, crying out for its death. Although she was able to (just barely, with the help of the universal song) defeat it, it inflicted her with an ancient curse which stole her voice.
Through her magical prowess, Kayla forged powers of telepathy that allowed her to converse with those around her once more, but without her voice, she was unable to properly spread the song, and fell into a great depression. She gave in for a time to OF's hatred of dragons, for their part in the fall of the song, and the two of them quested after many great wyrms, destroying any they came across. It was while hunting a Great Silver, a reputed relative of hers, that she heard the song for the last time, and understood how far off the path she had gone. Her actions had become meaningless, almost evil, and there was but one way to atone. Against OF's very vocal objections, she offered her life to the Silver, convinced that if the curse could not be lifted, the song should find a new messenger. Impressed by her offer, and chagrined at his races part in the downfall of the Song, the Silver made her an offer. Its power could not match the evil drake she had fought before, even in final death, but together they could. The two wove a communal spell, breaking the curse and freeing the Song at the cost of both of their lives, knowing that it was now unrestrained, and would find a new messenger, she died at peace, not knowing that it would once more choose her.

On her way out of the cavern, she passed once more the sleeping ancient wyrm, and such was OF's hatred of the beast that he could not keep silent, crying out for its death. Although she was able to (just barely, with the help of the universal song) defeat it, it inflicted her with an ancient curse which stole her voice.
Through her magical prowess, Kayla forged powers of telepathy that allowed her to converse with those around her once more, but without her voice, she was unable to properly spread the song, and fell into a great depression. She gave in for a time to OF's hatred of dragons, for their part in the fall of the song, and the two of them quested after many great wyrms, destroying any they came across. It was while hunting a Great Silver, a reputed relative of hers, that she heard the song for the last time, and understood how far off the path she had gone. Her actions had become meaningless, almost evil, and there was but one way to atone. Against OF's very vocal objections, she offered her life to the Silver, convinced that if the curse could not be lifted, the song should find a new messenger. Impressed by her offer, and chagrined at his races part in the downfall of the Song, the Silver made her an offer. Its power could not match the evil drake she had fought before, even in final death, but together they could. The two wove a communal spell, breaking the curse and freeing the Song at the cost of both of their lives, knowing that it was now unrestrained, and would find a new messenger, she died at peace, not knowing that it would once more choose her.

[/sblock][sblock=Background]Before I can tell you my story, I need to tell you a bit about my people; the Cuna. A nomadic tribe of some one hundred clans, who lived and roamed the Verde plain. Mostly herders only a few clans ever left the plain to trade and explorer in the surrounding lands.
In the middle of the plain is a circle of standing stones, that the Cuna called the Cakra. I don't know if it still exists but it was ancient when I was born. Every year all the Cuna clans gather at the Cakra to celebrate the summer solstice.
My birth clan, the Amar, roamed the plane with their herd of cattle, sheep and goats. I spent my childhood looking after sheep and goats. As I grow older, I also helped protect the heard from the occasional animal predator and the more common Orcish rustlers.
At the solstice meet following my coming of age, I met and married Juan Wesmer, leaving my birth clan and joining the Wesmer clan. I won't say it was a love match but we grew to like and respect each other, so I don't suppose I can complain.
The Wesmer clan consisted of 20 extended families, travelling the world in horse-drawn caravans. Ostensibly they were supposed to be traders. Although if truth be told they were more interested in seeing what was over the next hill than in trading.
I spent the next several years acting as scout for the clan and rising my five children. At the same time my mother-in-law capitalised on my natural agility and started teaching me the Cuna's unique fighting style, known only to a few tribe's members; mainly women.
Having just finished my preliminary training, I was just starting to master the slashing dance, which characterised the style, when the daemon war started. We never found out who did it but someone left a gate open to the abyss, permitting demon hordes to teem onto the prime.
At this time the clan had just discovered an unknown pass through the southern mountains and we were as far from the Verde plain as we had ever being. The first we knew of the invasion was when we received a message from the tribal elders telling us the clans were assembling at the Cakra and that we should return as soon as possible. This was the start of the Warmer clan's long hard fight back home.
In actuality we probably did not meet many demons probably only one or two a day but it felt like we had to fight for every mile we gained. Eventually we made it back to the Verde plain and were starting to relax, that's when things went from bad to worse. Orcus joined the invasion along with his hoard of undead. Instead of the odd demon looking for a meal, it was groups of zombies trying to kill you for no other reason than you were alive. We finally made it back to the Cakra. Everyone was injured, some seriously but miraculously no-one was dead.
Not all the clans made it and most of the ones that did had suffered fatalities. However, a surprising number did make it; the Cuna were a tough people.
The elders started to organise the tribe's defence. Much to my surprise, I was made tribal champion and presenting with my matched pair of scimitars.
The tribe had longer then they expected to prepare but eventually the demons got round to the Cuna. The fighting was long and protracted and while I could easily handle one or two demons, they eventually recognised my importance and came at me in hords. Although I destroyed what seemed like thousands, they were just too many and I was eventually overwhelmed.
How much time had passed I don't know but eventually I recovered conciousness and found myself covered in rotting demons corpses. Pushing my way through I emerged to a slaughterhouse. There were rotting bodies everywhere, human and demon. Plus some unidentifiable things that were long dead. Feasting on this carnage were what seemed like the plain's entire population of scavengers and vultures.
Needless of my own safety I started to run round in a panic checking the human bodies. I found my husband, in-laws, father and brothers. But there were no signs of my children or my mother and sisters. Calming down I noticed that most of the tribe's men had been killed but a lot of the woman and almost all of the children were missing. Checking the area outside of the battlefield for tracks, I finally found faint indications of a large group of humans surrounded by demons.
Revealed that my children were still alive but realising that I was very weak and in no fit state to rescue them, I belatedly sat down to think things through.
Firstly why was I still alive? This one was easy, it could only be the unusual wedding ring my husband gave me. What to do next? Obviously follow the track. At the moment I was in no fit state. So I started to search the bodies, demons as well as humans for anything useful. As for the bodies themselves, there were just to0 many for me to bury. I did briefly think of burying my relations but in the end decided to leave them with the others. As an aside, I did eventually find out that the demons intended to come back and raise the dead but got distracted.
Having found a number of unique items and emptied three curative wands in the process, I was ready to depart. The tracks were old and difficult to follow but I persevered. In the process I encountered a number of other tracks indicating that some of my people had escaped.
I followed the main tracks for several days. At last I came to an underground complex that the Cuna never even known existed. I'd rather forget the next few days, as I scouted an underground cave system teeming with demons. Knowing that if I was found my children were doomed but i needed all the information I could get if I was to rescue them. I found the prisoners; they were safe but very well guarded. I also found the gate that was the source of the invasion, also well guarded. As it was impossible for me to save the prisoners and destroy the gate alone, I had to retreat. I then set about rounding up the Cana survivors.
Eventually we attacked the complex. Split into two parties, the main party's job was to rescue the prisoners; while I lead a small group of heroes and set about destroying the gate.
Unfortunately things did not turn out as planned. Orcus' avatar had taken over guarding the gate. The fight was long and fierce and I ended up sacrificing myself in order to destroy the gate.[/sblock] [sblock=Knowledge Checks][sblock="15+6=21 (Religion)"]Ishasha Wesmer was the Cuna tribal champion during the demon war[/sblock][sblock="10+17=27 (Religion)"]The demon war occurred in 6,572 Common Reckoning, when demon hordes invadid the Prime through an unsecured gate[/sblock][sblock="10+20=30 (Religion)"]Ishasha Wesmer destroyed the gate, thus ending the Demon war[/sblock][sblock="25+5=30 (Religion)"]Ishasha Wesmer lead the Wesmer clan in there heroic odyssey from the southern mountains to the Verde plain at the beginning of the demon war[/sblock][sblock="30+1 = 31 (Geography)"]The Cakra was an ancient stone circle which held some religious significance to the Cuna[/sblock][sblock="15+18 = 33 (History)"]The Cuna were a nomadic tribe of herders that lived around the middle of the 6th millennium Common Reckoning.[/sblock][sblock="20+20=40 (Religion)"]Ishasha Wesmer died during the Cakra massacrer.

Instead of the odd demon looking for a meal, it was groups of zombies trying to kill you for no other reason than you were alive. We finally made it back to the Cakra. Everyone was injured, some seriously but miraculously no-one was dead.
Not all the clans made it and most of the ones that did had suffered fatalities. However, a surprising number did make it; the Cuna were a tough people.
The elders started to organise the tribe's defence. Much to my surprise, I was made tribal champion and presenting with my matched pair of scimitars.
The tribe had longer then they expected to prepare but eventually the demons got round to the Cuna. The fighting was long and protracted and while I could easily handle one or two demons, they eventually recognised my importance and came at me in hords. Although I destroyed what seemed like thousands, they were just too many and I was eventually overwhelmed.
How much time had passed I don't know but eventually I recovered conciousness and found myself covered in rotting demons corpses. Pushing my way through I emerged to a slaughterhouse. There were rotting bodies everywhere, human and demon. Plus some unidentifiable things that were long dead. Feasting on this carnage were what seemed like the plain's entire population of scavengers and vultures.
Needless of my own safety I started to run round in a panic checking the human bodies. I found my husband, in-laws, father and brothers. But there were no signs of my children or my mother and sisters. Calming down I noticed that most of the tribe's men had been killed but a lot of the woman and almost all of the children were missing. Checking the area outside of the battlefield for tracks, I finally found faint indications of a large group of humans surrounded by demons.
Revealed that my children were still alive but realising that I was very weak and in no fit state to rescue them, I belatedly sat down to think things through.
Firstly why was I still alive? This one was easy, it could only be the unusual wedding ring my husband gave me. What to do next? Obviously follow the track. At the moment I was in no fit state. So I started to search the bodies, demons as well as humans for anything useful. As for the bodies themselves, there were just to0 many for me to bury. I did briefly think of burying my relations but in the end decided to leave them with the others. As an aside, I did eventually find out that the demons intended to come back and raise the dead but got distracted.
Having found a number of unique items and emptied three curative wands in the process, I was ready to depart. The tracks were old and difficult to follow but I persevered. In the process I encountered a number of other tracks indicating that some of my people had escaped.
I followed the main tracks for several days. At last I came to an underground complex that the Cuna never even known existed. I'd rather forget the next few days, as I scouted an underground cave system teeming with demons. Knowing that if I was found my children were doomed but i needed all the information I could get if I was to rescue them. I found the prisoners; they were safe but very well guarded. I also found the gate that was the source of the invasion, also well guarded. As it was impossible for me to save the prisoners and destroy the gate alone, I had to retreat. I then set about rounding up the Cana survivors.
Eventually we attacked the complex. Split into two parties, the main party's job was to rescue the prisoners; while I lead a small group of heroes and set about destroying the gate.
Unfortunately things did not turn out as planned. Orcus' avatar had taken over guarding the gate.
