Message: <blockquote data-quote="Joachim2" data-source="post: 859321" data-attributes="member: 11494">What Ever Happened to Joachim?[This is the short version of what Joachim has been doing.  Please pardon me if I am not as eloquent a writer as Master Gfunk...]Joachim sped over the Cormyrian countryside on his flying carpet.  Frustration welling up inside him, his thoughts turned to his old comrades.  The Inquisitor had prepared the group to the best of his abilities, but it was all for naught.  They were defeated handily by the forces of evil.  _He_ would have to see it through by himself.  While flying towards his destination, Joachim formulated a plan...Speeding along on the carpet, Joachim made for Thunderstone, where he knew the remnants of the Vorpal Blades to be waiting.  He had to let Alphar know what was happening so that the attack by the Knights of the Undying Dragon could be altered.  Entropy and the Kiriansaleeans had no idea about the Knights still, and that could still work towards the Dales' benefit.Joachim spotted the small hamlet, and flew to a ruined shrine to Kelemvor.  The Tyrite landed near statue of the God of Death (beheaded by looting Lolth worshippers during the initial takeover of Cormyr), and pulled a lever on its sword arm.  A trap door in the ground opened up, revealing a stair case leading into darkness.  Weaving his way through a carved underground tunnel, Joachim reached a small room where he found Alphar and Thorack, deep in a religo-philosophical discussion about the dwarf's ambition to extend his life as an arch-lich servant of Dumathoin.Joachim, his armor covered in blood (not his), rushed into the room, startling the two allies.  Thorack spoke first, "Joachim!! What has happened?!"  The Tyrite recounted his story with the two.  Joachim explained that he had expended all of his magicks that would have allowed him to instantly travel elsewhere, and he had nowhere else within reach to turn.  Alphar, the Deathwarden, spoke, "This is grave news, but it is not too late for you to be victorious.  Our paths are similar, young Tyrite.  I too know the pain of defeat, but I have returned to redeem myself.  What will _you_ do now?"[OOC Side Note:  Alphar is my old character, too.  I have a talent at playing priests that survive and escape while simultaneously killing everyone in the group.]Joachim nodded at the elder priest's words.  "I will make their lives a living, or rather unliving, Hell."-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------The next morning, Joachim memorized his spells, and opened a portal to the Just House in the Mounting Heavens of Celestia.  From there, in the domain of Tyr the Even-Handed, Joachim would conduct a series of hit-and-run strikes on the Temple, with his primary objective being to end, or at least slow down, the research into the Great Revenance.Sitting in the Great Courthouse where an avatar of the God of Justice himselft was conducting court, a portal opened up in front of Joachim.  The priest recognized the spell, with its desired effect being to summon him.  Joachim knew no one who used that spell as prolifically as Entropy.  He ignored the summons, and grinned at the prospect of making the sorcerer and her allies suffer mightily.  Revenge would be his!</blockquote>
