[QUOTE="Fangor the Fierce, post: 1640983, member: 17100"] As each of you looks around, you all begin to hear a low rumbling sound. The skies begin to thicken with black clouds, gathering above your heads. The trees of the forest sway with dismay, as the winds pick up. Those who can see the small hooded figure that had gathered you now see that he has disappeared. The ones in the cart now see that the horses are spooked, and seem to sense something that they do not like. They will not move forward another inch. Then you hear it. The very ground you are one rumbles from the clashing of thunder, right above your heads. Lightning strikes near the cart, sending debris into the air, and you can smell the burn of grass and rock. The ones on the road see them first, as they charge out of the woods, straight at you, with weapons held to attack. Arrows fly into the air, and the thuds can be heard, as they hit the cart and horses, dropping one immediately. You hear their shouts, sparatic and senseless. [color=red][b]"The Prophecy will not be finished", "You will never live to know the truth", "Die, you chosen ones".[/b][/color] You can see the frantic warriors pour forth, surrounding you all. With luck and skill, you all manage to hold them off somehow, as if the gods were watching with great interest as to the outcome. But the odds are too much, and you all begin to falter. Then it halts. You are there, panting heavily, rain now pouring down. You can see the blood on the ground, soaked from those that have fallen to your blades. [color=red][b]"The runts have fire in them. I will give you that much. But you will not live long enough to know what it means. Your power will never awaken. This will be your graveyard."[/b][/color] The voice comes from a well armoured man. His cloak covers most of his body, but you get glimpses of his armour underneath. In his hands, he is wielding a great warhammer, with strange markings on it. [color=red][b]"Your death is near, and I am here to deliver it!"[/b][/color] With outstretched hands, his fingertips begin to glow, and you suddenly feel an overwhelming pain. It is not in one place, but all over. Your very flesh burns to the core, causing you all to scream in pain, dropping your weapons and falling to your knees, crying out in agony. As you lay there, you look up, not being able to defend yourselves or move in any manner. You can't even speak, for the pain is too much for you. The enemy moves in, and raise their weapons, and you see the glints of their steel as they crash downwards, towards your bodies. And then a white flash sears over you, and you can neither hear, nor feel, not see anything. You awake, in a sweat. Frantically you look around, and realize that you have just awoken. You are in a small cot, and you share this room with more. The noise you hear is a gong being hit. You do not know why, but it sounds familiar. As you raise up to get a look around, you notice that the others in your dream are laying in beds around you as well. A small cabinet along the wall has small containers and bandages. Then you hear someone approach. Reactively, you reach for your belongings, but notice that they are not here. What is going on? Was that a dream? Then a woman walks in. [color=darkorchid][b]"Sure am glad that you all are alright. Must have been a nasty fever, to have knocked you out like that. Still kinda strange though, that Maximo said you all had the same illness at the same time. But he has seen more in this world than I would ever dare to imagine. Now drink up, as he says that when you awake, you must go see him immediately. I will show you the way. Now come along."[/b][/color] OOC - Ok, I need a roll call, to see who all is still in this...Sorry for the long intro, but I was trying to get all of your characters in the story before you set out, and this was one way to do it. Seems as though I will have to modify things when I get a count of who is still in this. You are just about to start your fisrt quest, so I would like to know who can still play, and if someone is out, then let me know, so I can ammend the story. [/QUOTE]
