Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Forsaken One" data-source="post: 611175" data-attributes="member: 799">Doc sits himself down, smiling at his young rash friends and looks at the Elderly Native American and nods.You are right dear sir, and if you would excuse this.. a bit overenthusiatic behavior on the part of my friends... we do not know everything around here like you do so if you would be so kind to let us in where those mines are.. I for my one haven't been there as yet. And one of us had a strange encounter with that Delaney felow... [insert explanation] and last night we had a struggle with that Beast.. that's what you call that Luop-Garou right? [insert story of yesterday] and look what it brought us [points at Jason asleep on the bed]. So some information would be nice to know what is going on here.. not just that Darkness comsumes all stuff, we hear that enough from Raymond already... *grin* Ray's face lights up and looks at Doc.Hey! Whipe that smirk of your face ya old goat! *Grin* A grin keeps adorning Doc's face as he continues. So some info about those mines would be nice.. as well as about that Delaney guy and that wolf... I for one am QUITE interested about how the hell we are gonna go up against that thing! We fought it and only fire and that kinda stuff seemed to hurt it, everything physical we threw against it was useless, it's like it eats bullets and uses crowbar hits to scratch itself with! And that sky-metal thing, what's up with that, without it you will die or something? How's that gonna protect you and your circle of shamans or something? You are mighty vague... so if you would be so kind, wait a minute and feed us the info here. If we are to do your dirty work we like as much information as possible, we are not here to die, and certainly not for some strange cause like your own. So please go ahead. Stonehill is surprised when he hears about your adventure the night before and the cabin they found in the woods. As for the Darkness, I knows only that it was in the mountain long before my people settled in the valley many centuries ago. That it is a malignant force without shape but that it is restricted to one location, this valley where it has it's lair, the nexus of it's power. It’s currently trapped in the valley by our Indian Shaman’s circle-magic but soon it will be able to overpower that magic as well, most certainly now one of our number has died.Then he looks very seriously at Ross for a moment and seems like to hold his breath there.Delaney is the physical manifestation of the Darkness. And this is its form, yes, for we have trapped it in the human flesh with our medicine.As for the beast... The Beast against which spears and guns seems to have very little effect, and that only the sky-metal disc seems truly to cause it pain and injury. So the disc is a weapon indeed, a weapon sent by the gods to aid us in our peril to destroy this abomination. Who knows why it serves the Darkness, I for one cannot imagine that it serves it freely. Only it knows what gives the Darkness it's hold over that abominations mind.But beware as you have foun out the beast is a difficult beast to hunt indeed. Since it wears the skin of man by day, but kills in fur and fang by night. It can change and attack at any time, but it is strongest beneath a full moon. And then about yor destination... you can descend down the Delaney mineshaft... or.... There is a secret entrance into the heart of the Darkness, into that unholy nexus of power. The original mine used by Jasper Delaney a hundred years ago still exists. If you five are willing to brave the dangers inherent in a abandoned mine, you can find the entrance between two large boulders half a mile east of the mining complex itself. But keep an eye out and take care if you proceed to choose that way since no one has explored that mineshaft in 50 years. On the other hand, it probably is not being guarded, so you will have to choose.. I hope you choose wisely.I thank you for your efforts, now I shall pray that they are not in vain and that we shall meet again before the sun sets tomorrow and all shall be covered in darkness and all shall be lost, along with our lives. I will be back tomorrow, and will contact you before we begin the ritual. You will have the disc by then, yes? You better.Then Stonehill leaves and he has disappeared before you can track him to where he should have exited the staircase.Doc stands up and puts his hand on Ray's shoulder and his other hand on James' shoulder, then he takes a good look at Ross.Well my friends, there aren't five of us going down that mineshaft, the live on or the abandoned one. Jason is much too weak as yet and he needs some rest, and I'm a mere old man and will only slow you down. I will remain here and look after Jason if that is ok with the three of you. I'll wish you good luck and hope you find that damned piece of metal so we can end this.</blockquote>
