Sword.  Not a good combination, right? Well... its not. But when you need someone with you that can help your party, this guy is who you wanna party with (played by Ceredhion)Umger: a Dwarf who prays to the God of Fire, War, and Wine of this plane, a forgotten deity known as Woldan.  Prime... but he holds authority with the very symbol of respect from his deity: the Crimson Rose: the blessed weapon of his deity. (played by Umger)Locke: An aristocrat, diplomat, and thief... Locke is a rogue who has master the rapier.  He excels in getting the party out of tight spots (played by Wolvorine)Arethul Lothen: An acerbic wit trapped in the body of a masterful fighter.  Arethul is the type of warrior that any warrior wants to be: Powerful, charming, soft and cutting whenever need be. (Played by Falex)Part 1: (Starting Members: Umger, Locke, Hydwen)The Guild took us in... and we acquainted a Poin by the name of Et'Kien'Poi (First Brother Poi, for those keeping track).  He was a transitionist, one who helped the Primes (those who were not born of this plane) feel welcomed and knowledgable.  The Crimson Star were going to set out for Reivale, the only true City in the Lands... we rested for a few hours, and awoke to alurums...The Camp was under attack... Pale Riders and large beasts with hair like iron wire ran through the streets... the combat leaders of the Crimson Star, the Spheremasters [Who use great techmancic devices that come to their bidding) rushed to the attack... Locke was almost slain in the first attack, left by the rest after a debate.  A great alarm behind, and the group dodged out of the way just in time not to be crushed by a great horseless seige engine they refer to as the Grinder  The battle was still hot, and the group rushed in... 10 Crimson star regulars, including one riding on a steel horse, ran with the party into battle... where they met a Pale Rider.  The Rider blew half of the group back with a powerful surge of energy, and Ku'Kol rushed in... it was then that the beasts were named... those beasts who spewed the fire that burned Hydwen and Umger... the group fought with a vengeance... but all was lost in time.  Riding out on the Grinder, the remnants of the camp went to Reivale... to the Crimson Star base at the Gray Widow Tavern.  It was only a short time until then... when they met Arethul Lothen.  A man who loves the finer things in life, Arethul had decided to drink his cares away and grab a room... but alas, when you are that intoxicated... things happen.  Not usually as bad as catching a drunk guard with his youthful (and married) lady love; but it may just occur.  The cards seemed to be up for our drunk hero... he battled it out, then laid a punch to the groin that knocked the brute out of the game.  Leaving the tavern, the three members saw the lad attacked by a group of drunken guard angry over their friend's loss... after a time of boxing, pommel-striking, and tossing, the three members found their newest member and had laid the guards down... except for one, but a little coercion goes a long way.A lady of the shadows approached our brave men here... and asked them for information on the incident between the Crimson Star and the Pale Riders.  After a time of scanning by a Mind-reading creature who had been summoned for the task, the party learned the truth: the Hui Dal, banished from G'esh for all time, had returned somehow... it was announced at the breakfast of the Temple of Palde M'ka (where the lady of shadows had taken them) that the Poin of the outlands were at war... and our heroes were to be diplomats to earn aid of the Western Empire... That is, of course, a tale for another day... Chapter 1: Closed!</blockquote>
