[QUOTE="DiFier, post: 723079, member: 2345"] Di'Fier ran through the street, the sword gripped tightly in his hand. Behind him the hoards of Cumarigi close on his heels. He turned and slashed at the closest one it's pain obviuos as as is said "ow" and fell to the ground. But stopping had been a bad idea. Now the hoard tied to surround Him. He parried a blow from one but the other got under his defences and struck a glancing blow to his side. he ignored it. Striking the attacker and causing him to drop his sword. The attacker looked up at Di'Fier and said, "No fair. I got you in the heart, you're dead." "I am not you just hit my shirt. It barely touched me. Armor would have stopped it no problem." "Who said you had armor?" "We all have armor, but I killed Vinnon. I knocked him over. Besides there are 6 of you. I have to have armor." "We need 6, Euth isn't here today and only he has a chance of beating you." "I don't know Philiat, your hit came really close. I think you are improving." The rest of the hoard arrived panting and wheezing. _______________________________________________________________________ Di'Fier had only been to the Wizard's Guild tower a few times. Today his mother had insisted that he come. She gave him the names a few books that had cantrips in them. He was to spend the day studying. He got the first book "wizard basics" and began reading. He finished reading about an hour later there wasn't anything new in here. every spell memtioned was a duplication of something that he had spied in his mother's books. He could even cast a few of them. He looked at the next book on the list. "Disipline and hard work" and groaned. He and wondered into the stacks looking for the book. Who ever the librian was Di'Fier was certain he was mad. None of the books were where they should be. He was sure that the wizards had to use spells just to find the books they hunted. Then He saw it. Not the Disipline book but a huge black book with a heavy steel binding. It didn't fit with the rest of the books on the shelf. He pulled it down. "Obscure Evocation" He grabbed it and a book on scribing scrolls hiding the evocation book behind the other as best he could. He found the closest study nitche and climbed in. Once in the nitche he discarded the scribing book and opened the black book. The begining was an introduction for the reader who didn't know the basics. he skipped over that part. The second part was basic evocation spells. Di'Fier had read up on most first circle spells especially the evocation ones. If His mother was going to make him become a wizard at least he would be able to blow things up. He Started with the 2nd circle spells and began reading. Hours later he had read about every regular evocation spell 2nd through 4th circle. He had re-read fireball a number of times. Then it was on to the enhancements and odd Evocation spells that were more powerful and had surprising effects. He didn't get very far. In his mind he heard his mother's voice. "Di'Fier. It is time to go home." "O.K. I just have to return these books." He got up and headed back to where he found the books returning them to that location as best he could. he remembered the spot for the next time he would be here. As he was about to leave he heard someone muttering the next row over. "Damn book. . . I know I put it here somewhere. . . I was sure it was the last row . . . we'll check there again. . . " Di'Fier Ran to the end of the stack and watched as two wizadrds turned the corner. The one was extremely tall human with long grey hair and a long grey beard. He was wearing a long black robe that had stars on it. The stars seemsed to stay in place as he walked among them. Standing next to him was a gnome with deep black hair and wearing a bright red high collared wizard's outfit. The tall wizard said nothing but glared at the shelves as the gnome muttered on about the missing book. Di'Fier looked to where he had just reshelved the book Obscure Evocation. The book was no longer there. "Perhaps it is down further" said the gnome. Di'Fier turned and ran. [/QUOTE]
