"Good thinking, V," Lily says approvingly. "Why don't you do the talking when we get to that tower? Which we should probably head out for now, yeah?"

She nods at Markus. "Thanks, Markus. For all the help. We'd still be lost if you hadn't come through like that."

Farewells done for the moment, she heads for the door.

Seifer shakes his head. His companions have seemed to have found some answers and a direction; a motivation. He looks to Chester, whom seems as lost as he.

"Wizards and cultists? Demon summoning? I feel like a spectator in my own life. I don't really know who I was, but something about this whole situation feels especially alien."

Seifer starts for the door, speaking towards Lily.

"Let's go see about this wizard. I doubt things could get more confusing for me, so it must be a step in the right direction."

"Hrm... priests, now wizards... i'm feeling a serious urge to go hunt some bandits now... ah well. where we off too?" Zzerki will ask the group.

 

[hafrogman]

Chester can only shrug.

"I'm sure action will come to our lives soon enough, Zzerki. For now we seek knowledge. Then, with knowledge in hand we can seek to sort out the rest of our problems. It doesn't seem like any of us are on the route to a relaxing retirement."

"I wonder. . . have any of your considered that maybe we were trying to summon this Ziffy guy ourselves? Maybe we used to all be evil. Or maybe Ziffy's really a good guy and we needed him to save the world. That would explain why I'm hanging around people like you, I was the demon's drinking buddy, we've got a cleric to do the summoning and some bodyguards, and Lily for a virgin sacrifice. But Lily wasn't true to Ziffy so he erased our memories as punishment."

"Um, I for one prefer to seek a little more knowledge before we go trying to summon demons. I say we make for the tower."

 

[Moonstone Spider]

"Um, I for one prefer to seek a little more knowledge before we go trying to summon demons. I say we make for the tower."

"But you have to admit it's a good theory. It fits all the facts right?"

[sblock]I'd just like to comment that I'm well aware of the idiocy of Skitha's comments. She doesn't believe it either as any halfway decent sense motive will show, she's just bored and making things up to amuse herself.[/sblock]

 

[hafrogman]

Chester rolls his eyes slightly at Skitha's suggested history.

"I seriously doubt we were trying to summon a demon, or were evil at all for that matter. We seem to have a pretty good sense of who we are, if nothing else. We are good people, we were good people. . . I hope. You might drink with anyone that was buying, but I doubt I'd be a demon's bodyguard and Lily. . ."

He stops and gazes at the dark robed woman, trying to judge her suitability as a virgin sacrifice, grinning rather foolishly. Chuckling to himself, he shakes his head.

 

[Shayuri]

Lily pauses for a moment, narrowing her eyes to give Skitha a glare over her shoulder.

"You know, you have a very big mouth," she says angrily. "How about plugging it back up again with another flask of booze, huh?"

She resumes walking...a bit more stiffly this time.

 

[Amazing Triangle]

You make your way out of the Church of Johan sans Grokkun. Proceeding down the front stairs you begin to make your way down the main road toward your first turn.

"That's them boss," you hear a slightly familiar voice. As you turn around you see the boy, Sabastian, who was harassing the Smith along with one other person. Beside the whiny brat stands a gaunt 12-foot-tall creature resembling a mummified human corpse with rusty red skin, thick greenish black hair, a hooded black cloak, and eyes, teeth, and nails like poisonous verdigris. In his hand is a scythe to match his size.

In a deep calm sinister voice the very large figure addresses you, “Ahh so it is you,” he addresses you each by name in turn. “This wimpling of human flesh said he had seen you. I almost didn’t believe him. But here you are…” he turns to Sabastian and gives him a wave of his hand. Sabastian runs off at a speed you didn’t think he could have.

“Steady your swords and spells,” he lifts his hand to the party and looks at Voadam with a keen glare. “I did not come here to fight you if I had you would all be dead. The mortal to whom my master sees fit for me to serve asks that you stay away from his men. He thinks it better you leave all together. I don’t think like that. I wish the chance to kill the Ungotu. So I leave you with a choice.” He pauses. It seems the whole city is quietly waiting his choices.

“One, you walk out of this town into the fire peaks and stay there for eternity. Or Two, you meet the Mandin bandits at their base camp and remove them. Because I hate Yogoth, their leader, more than I currently hate you I will spare you your lives for now, and leave after the bandits defeat. Or you can fight me now and all these innocent lives can hang in the balance.”

Reaching into his cloak he drops a piece of paper on the ground, “Here, a map,” the thing turns and walks away from you at a nice leisurely pace.

OOC: Each of you at the mention of the Fire peaks remember that it is a chain of volcanoes that separated the humans and the rest of the world after the First Great War.
Just for effect imagine the man's voice as this voice only a little deeper and robust
