It is Dorakin, and he is mighty indeed. He aided Thrin many years ago in the battle against Chaos in the North, now he shall aid me.There was some discussion amongst the group as to whether or not I should call him. Leo and Tarquin were, unsurprisingly, against it. Leo I find difficult to deal with. He has a fine tactical mind, and is almost paranoid in his ability to forsee problems, but he has no faith. To his credit, when I told him that I and only I would need to fufill the quest laid upon me by the Planetar, he replied "As if we'd leave you to do it alone." I have not told him, but my heart was gladdened. He is a most potent ally.Thana, ever practical, said that if we could summon aid to our side, then we should. Her support was gratifying. Lilliana rather unexpectedly supported me as well, saying that to do otherwise would be hypocritical. After all, it was her summoning of two Avorals that led the group to this action. Xyzzy also advised against the summoning, I feel he is wary of a creature more powerful than he is...Aos and Celia both voted for. They felt that with Dorakin aiding us, the foul Tarkane can be cast down, and Imarr would be a better place for it. It was agreed by consensus that should I still desire to do so, that I could try and summon Dorakin and ask him for help.Before we made the assault on the palace, Aos elected to scout it out. Xyzzy loaned him Hudson, his Owl familiar, and made them both invisible. However, after some time, Aos was spotted and was forced to flee. It seemed that our route into the Palace may now be under watch, a most regrettable state of affairs.We were also introduced by Adam Dickinson to Darius, a scout and tracker*. After submitting him to a barrage of magical tests, we accepted that he was aiming for the same target as ourselves. He told us that Tarkane had launched a surprise attack on Imgart, killing most of his enemies there. This was good news, as it meant that many of the Imperial Knights Bloodhammer were gone from the Palace. Tarkane himself did not go, but Ulfius and his Mage were largely responsible for much of the damage. Ulfius is not a man I wish to cross at any time.Leo managed to negotiate with Ulfius, in secret of course, as regards a monetary reward. It seems we shall be due a vast amount of money, should we succeed. Such things are not as important as the task itself, but money is always welcome to fund further attacks upon the forces of Chaos and Evil. Ulfius seemed wary of me, but so long as our goals coincide, I can see no reason why we should not be able to work together.Whilst Leo locked himself away preparing many scrolls to help us, we practised working in the area of silence spells, whilst Xyzzy practiced trapping moving guard parties in the wall of force spell. Our preparations were almost complete, and I felt confident that we would achieve our goal.We all made our way down to the sewers of Imarr, and onwards to the secret tunnel. We knew it was probably guarded now, and that caution would be ultimately important.Spells were cast, increasing the powers of all present. Leo and Tarquin aided many of the party with bull's strength and endurance, plus cat's grace for those who wanted it. Finally, when all else was done, I prayed to Girru and asked him for his Planetar's aid.In a conflagration of fire that scorched my skin, Dorakin appeared before us. The Planetar stood some 9 feet tall, green skinned and with powerful wings. His greatsword gleamed in the light."You have summoned me, Galak of Girru. What is it you want?""We seek to go into the Imperial Palace and kill Overlord Tarkane this day. I humbly ask for your aid in this task, and will pay any price you deem proper.""The price I seek I shall not set now. It will involve a fight against the forces of Chaos to the North. Will you accept this price?""I will.""Then it is agreed."The Planetar cast several spells upon itself, and we were ready to go.Next: Entering the Palace! A great disturbance in the Force, as it were! Battling demons, and the IKB running scared!*We had a new player joining the group.</blockquote>
