Age of Heroes - LR's Gestalt Game.

With the dawn comes a faint sound of weeping from the far side of the ruined hamlet. Moments later a strange figure ambles into view. The odd newcomer seems to be a melding of bat and human, standing only two feet tall and wearing only a loincloth. Tears wet his wrinkled cheeks as he approaches in a slow shuffle from around the corner of a burned out building. As he looks upon the assembled heroes a look of hope lights the features of the small creature like the breaking dawn.

"Even in the midst of tragedy, I see that once again the great mother provides. Though we have not met, my eyes are glad to see you."

Silvanyck

A tall wood elf in forest colors steps up to the little man-bat. He greets the creature with a little bow. "I am Silvanyck Greenbough, are you a survivor of the destruction here?"
 

Ilshana, hearing some commotion, unrolls from her bedroll and blinks blearily at the newcomer. Suddenly her green on green eyes are open wide, and she's vaulting out of the bedroll, yelping delightedly, "Hey everyone! Look at the cute little...BAT-THING!" In a heartbeat she's circling him, peppering him with questions.

"Can you fly? Do you squeak? Mosquitos or fruits, which taste better? OR BLOOD!"

All the while interspersing exclamations of how CUTE he is.

Finally the ordeal ends when her stomach growls, and she blurts, "Come have breakfast with us and tell us your story!" and flickers off to the fire to stoke it back to life.
 

Gereon raises his eyes from the large tome of study, Ilshana was an odd character, although he believed the flighty girlishness was much more an act than anything else. He closed the tome, his studies complete for the day and wove the eldritch tapestry about his companions, including this new one as well.

"Greetings friend, join us for some breakfast."

OOC: You all recognise the Bat-like creature from your dreams!

Let me know when you're ready to go, and how you're going to travel to Jarl Gnorgrak's Fortress
 

Though his cheeks still glisten, the batlike figure grins serenely. In a voice that is high pitched yet melodious like a celestial choir he says, "I'm Vhandamere, a humble servant of the Mother of Us All. I dwell in the forest several miles from here. This is not the first time I've come to investigate smoke coming from a local town and found utter desolation."

Vhandamere joins his new companions by the fire, "I hope you will not be offended if I'm not up to sharing in your repast.
 

"We have been called here to stop these attrocities." The large figure with the motled gray skin says in his deep voice, "If I am not mistaken, you may have been as well."

"I am Ununkua'em, sometimes called the Vanquisher, servant of Valadis. Welcome to our little army."
 


Silvanyck

"Indeed, we have had dreams and visions of a terrible machine with a demon lord at its core. Our research indicates that it has been built for a terrible purpose. We believe we have been called by our respective deities to stop the killing and destroy the machine." He gestures at the ruin about him. "We think that heads are being collected for the machine."
 

Vhandamere blinks at the red-haired elf, "A demon lord you say? I suppose that makes sense given the scale of atrocity that was shown to us. I had hoped that the dreams were somewhat figurative."

The small creature's brows furrow slightly, and his eyes seem lost in thought.
