Perhaps he would enjoy being a toad. That was an interesting option.Maybe a swamp rat, though that really wasn't appropriate. No, she would make him a big toad, if anything at all. Reaching out to take the Heart, the Hag smiled her shark's teeth at Durgo and mimed a kiss at him. Then, gesturing for him to lok at one of the far walls, she stood and strode to it.The wall was comprised of a huge crystaline facing, swirling colors and whorls of smoke interplaying upon it's surface. With a wave of her hand, the entire wall took on a liquid appearance, forming into a coherant view of the swamp. then, at a speed ten times faster than the most quick of birds, the view raced Northward, across swamplands, showing legions of troops marching northward, Elves, thousands of Aruthian Legionares heading towards Myrach, Dragons in their midst,Treants and Giants as well...Moving further, the view showed the mountains and crags of Myrach, then onwards into the volcanic realm that was Zuregath's.Across the parapets of Castle Zuregath, a battle waged, Black Armored Hobgoblins and Ogres fighting againt like troops in green and white, the troops of Iron King Bevrokk,Zuregath's neighbor to the West.Bevrokk was sacking Castle Zuregath...'Interesting, very interesting...that is unsporting, now isn't it...what a dastardly fellow.' The Hag seemed amused, though at the same time, her tone held a note of unhappiness, as if some machination were being set into play that she did not approve of.Turning, her eyes fell upon your group, and then to Durgo, drawn to his satchel,to something Within...Smiling once again, she waved a Hag-Born over, the female hag/Orc listening to whatever she said in soft tones and then nodding and departing, waving two Ogres with her.The Hag stood there, watching the battle played out upon her crystal wall, frowning and rubbing her chin. Her glamour cast side, she stood before you a jet black Annis, respelndant in a diaphorous shift, younger and less horrid than most of her kin, as if she was recently [I[rejuvinated[/I] some how.Minutes later, the Hagborn (Forlash's sister, one that he didn't completely hate,anyways...) returned, the Ogres bearing several sacks.'You will need stealth, Pawns of Zuregath...I am feeling generous?grateful? Perhaps I am hedging a bet, or preventing a turn of events that do not favor me. At any rate, I have gifts for you, for your endeavor, Captain Durgo. If ever you see Zuregath again, in this life or in whatever Hell he dwells within, tell him that I, Malverna, aided him, and would do so again, to keep this Bevrokk from gaining too much power amongst the Iron Kings.'The Ogres step forward and display several items of fine make, sized for the larger folk as well as for the smaller.Recieved are :Wekerak: A quiver of +1 Seeking, Bane Arrows: Elf (10), Giant (10), Demon (5),Elemental (5),Devil (5),Celestial (5),Dragon (5) Human (5)do stack>a Brooch of Resistance +3a Mithril Shirt +3 to replace his other one.3 Potions Cure Serious Wounds 3D8+54 Potions Invisibility (12th Level use)Bargo: The Hag gestures for you to dip Elf-Hewer into a pool of blood that bubbles nearby, telling you that it will enhance the magic significantly.Elfhewer now has Bane:Giants.Amulet of Health (+4 to Con)a Cloak of Resistance +34 Potions Cure Serious Wounds 3D8+51 Potion Invisibility (12th Level use)1 Potion Silence  (12th Level use)Durgo:The Hag gestures for you to dip Durgo's Maul into a pool of blood that bubbles nearby, telling you that it will enhance the magic significantly.Durgo's Maul now has  Bane:Evil Outsiders.Amulet of Health (+4 to Con)4 Potions Cure Serious Wounds 3D8+51 Potion Invisibility (12th Level use)1 Potion Silence  (12th Level use)Forlash:A Boccob's Blessed Book containing, <20 spells: 5 first,5 2nd, 5 3rd, 5 4th, 5 5thI'll give you the list in email>a Cloak of Resistance +3Wand of Lightning Bolts (8th Level), 25 chargesKurg: Cloak of Resistance +32 Potions Cure Serious Wounds 3D8+52 Potions Invisibility (12th Level use)2 Potions of Silence (12th Level use)(I gave Kurg less because he is an NPC now...)The Hag also has several of her Hag-Born (Human-Hag and Orc-Hag) step forward, casting healing magics upon you all<Healed of all damage>Afterwards, the Hag hands Durgo a small bag, saying that it may helpin securing aid in his cause.Waving at the wall, Malverna says 'Step through quickly, my little lost hounds of Myrach, the Portal lasts for a brief moment more...Stepping through, you find yourself......not at Castle Zuregath, but instead on some plain, crags and mist-shrouded.Forlash thought to himself 'Something must have gone wrong with the teleportation...or there was some Interference from forces arrayed against us? Damn...'In the distance, horns sounded, three quick taps and a long note.Wekerak knew that call, it was an ELven Trumpet signaling a Charge.From the timbre and duration or the echo, it was in a canyon, maybe a valley. Perhaps a quatrer of a mile away...North,most likely.</blockquote>
