[QUOTE="crazy_monkey1956, post: 4209403, member: 49514"] OOC: Surprise update! ;) Mainly to bump our thread up a bit and everyone has posted, so on we go. [B]Valen and Aleera[/B] Aleera answers the ranger, "I don't know what they are and I don't care. Swift and merciless destruction to the orcs is all that matters." She begins readying her weapons, that fierce, vengeful look still in her eyes. Valen notes a small group of the flyers breaking away from the hive and heading toward the orc troop. [B]Johen, Muzdum, Aohdan, Alaric, and Norali[/B] The strange vision passes and Aohdan finds the others staring at him. The others notice the glow fade from the centaur's eyes. Norali seems nervous and mouths a word, a name... [B][COLOR=DarkGreen][I]Azilyk[/I][/COLOR][/B] [B]William[/B] A day of damp, enclosing darkness passes. The spirit-woman keeps a steady pace and William finds himself utterly lost in the underground tunnels. Finally, a speck of light shines ahead. The tunnel opens into a grand cavern, wooden supports keeping the roof up, magical illumination emanating from the walls at regular intervals. A huge platform adorns the center of the cavern, made of stone, with various ropes coiled near stout poles. It looks as though the platform is meant to tether something down...something the size of a sailing ship. At the rear end of the cavern is a set of worked stone doors, utterly massive in size, a complicated pulley system attached meant to pull them open, though it appears not to have been used in over a decade. At the other end of the cavern are two raised stone platforms, smaller than the central one but still large enough to hold as many as ten people. Above each platform is another stone door, these worked into the ceiling, though there appears to be no mechanism to open them, at least none visible. The entire place holds the dust of many years. William senses that his are the first living eyes to view this place in a long time. [B]Corath[/B] Jolly pours himself another cup of tea as he considers his next words. "I've told you as much as I care to about your history which, in truth, is as much as I know. There are other things I must attend to, and, of course, things for you to attend to as well. Momentous things are happening. Of greater significance than even the Shadow War. You will play an important role in these things. But, in the meantime, your former companions need you. As I recall, you made a vow to protect one of them. That, and my beloved niece, Norali, is with them." Jolly is about to pour a second cup, apparently for Corath, then thinks better of it, shaking his head in amusement. "Well, what are you waiting for. Get going. Lots of ground to cover and little enough time for it. Oh, before you go..." He pulls a slender pole, a staff of sorts, though sized for a halfling, from a nearby wardrobe, "Give this to the alchemist, if you would please.
