[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6928982, member: 9255"] THE MORGRAVE ADVENTURES “07 ARCANE CONGRESS” SEGMENT 69 “ARCANIX” 04/11/16 THERENDOR 6, 1001 Walking about, still unaware of what has happened below, Diana encounters something she has never seen before- a Celestial being. A Trumpet Archon gently lands on the ramp. Though the introductions are sincere and pleasant, the winged being never takes her eyes off Diana’s bundled book. When revealed (in part) what she has, the Archon makes a point of talking to the arch-mages about the book and possible sale. She returns to the ground and learns what has happened. She and Gears immediately goes to the barracks of the town. She is not allowed to see them or free them. The judge will decide their fate the following morning. Unhappy but understanding there is little she can do she returns to the towers hoping for answers. There is interest but nothing settled. Everyone wants it and warns about the power held within. She goes back to the ground and to the closest inn for the night. Ally’s Rest is located on the second floor over the temple and several stores. A halfling with the approval of House Ghallanda gives her a room. Diana takes in a hot scented bath and a good meal with drink before settling down for the night. Gears settles down at the foot of her bed. She is briefly tempted to look at the book but decides to call it a night instead…. Never once thinking about Kar-Draith or Charger. Hours pass when Gears stirs. He is uncertain what he has heard but suspects it is not good. Just as he is about to growl the door bursts in. Twin red pin-lights stare in from the dark hall. “Give me the Book!” it snarls. Gears immediately attacks the creature as Diana tumbles out of the bed. The mechanical companion attacks the undead creature keeping it at bay busy enough to not be able to dominate the halfling artificer. Each bite releases electrical energy that the vampire ignores. “Give me the book and I will let you live.” Instead she releases energy to burn the creature. Pained and angry, the undead slams the metal homunculus. Metal bends and pieces break free. “Gears!” Seeing the damage to Gears hurts her, the undead smiles and slams it again. And again. And again. Gears stops fighting back or attacking in any way. Suddenly there is a yell from the entrance of the inn. The cleric of Aureon has come to investigate the noise and battle above his temple room. He drives the creature away from the destroyed Gears and the threatened artificer. Having no where to go, the vampire hisses and backs away deeper into the inn. It has no exit nor windows to escape through. Furious, Diana attacks the retreating but trapped undead. She releases magical energy blasts one after the other. The entire inn catches on fire. The cleric calls for her to stop but in her anger and grief she instead increases her attacks. Even as the undead creature turns into burning ash she continues until she has no energy left. Gears is dead. Destroyed. [/QUOTE]
