Heroes, Inc.: Kryptgarden

Timrin is seething inside after having fled the vampires ambush. He only half hears the exchange between Alethia and Maggie. If Peregion is inextricably merged with that beast, then he's better off dead. No paladin worthy of the name would abide such a horror simply to keep a chance of his survival alive.

This was not at all turing out as he had envisioned it.

Suddenly he remembers the unmoving bundle in his arms, "Arundel, we've a man down. She fell to Kurin's energy daggers. Can you help her?"

 

[kirinke]

Alethia sobers. "The only reason why I'm willing to let you examin us, is that even if we kill Kurin permenantly, there is a good chance that even in true death, Kurin may still be able to hold onto Perigeron. And he does not deserve to be sent to hell, simply because his soul is enslaved by a vampire."

You get the distinct impression that Naveron is nodding in agreement. It isn't a matter of returning Perigeron to life. It is a matter of saving his soul. Literally. The demon adds.

 

[Falkus]

"Well, all this magical theory is beyond me. I'm guessing it's going to be rather more complicated than just simply carving Kurin open and removing Pereigon's soul." Dyria said with a shrug.

 

[kirinke]

The demon chuckled, his mental voice like dry leaves crackling in an autumn breeze. Quite a bit more complicated.

Even in death, you cannot be assured of freedom. he added thoughtfully. Or rest.

ooc:
If the demon knew what was going on with Kurin and Perigeron's spirits/souls, would he be able to extract the paladin's soul from the vampire's?

That mainly relates to what exactly is going on, which is not yet known. If Maggie is right, then no, he doesn't know how to do that. If he did, he would probably not be trapped in your body.

So what is you guys' next move?

 

[Hawkeye]

"So do we try to capture Kurin or do we return to Waterdeep? We do know now where Piergernon's soul is. That is half of what we wanted to accomplish.

[kirinke]

"We can do nothing about Perigeron right now, as we don't know what's going on with Kurin." Alethia said and quickly explained what they found in the castle. "Much of the fiendspires are not here. They may be counterattacking somewhere else or being held in reserve. This is a goose chase, no more. We need to return to Waterdeep and regroup. Once there, Maggie and whatever experts Aleena thinks might be able to help can examin Naveron and I. From there, we may have a better idea of how to save Perigeron."

 

[Hawkeye]

"So there may be thousands of these creatures and we don't know where they are? Can anyone contact Waterdeep!?"

OOC:
So those cultists that tried to kill Allie when she was a kid are connected to this. Neat!
And it looks like, what's going on with Kurin and Perigeron is a more vile and nasty form of what's going on With Alethia and Naveron.

Timrin's looks down at Vara's corpse and his frustration spews forth at the pointless debate, "I don't know about thousands, but there may be a couple hundred out in the woods right now planning a counter-attack! We don't have the luxury of debating the do's and don'ts of magical experimentation people."

"There is a force of demonic undead loose in the woods around us. Regardless of who made them or why, I think it's a safe bet that no good will come of it. They need to be stopped and now. If that means destroying Kurin and risking the same of Piergeron... then so be it", Timrin says hauntedly.

"We need to seize this opportunity."

His look is hard and grim, like that of a condemned man. It is clear this decision is not one made in haste or zeal.
