The Dance of Souls

[Xaov]

OOC: nope I wanted 50 ft. of a certain Juneau sei qua, or what the French call a certain.... I don't know what. Heh but in all seriousness that was what I meant.
Heh patlin I think you may have my character confused with the realm in which Warcraft takes place.


Upon seeing the old man Azaroth will introduce himself, hello sir my name is Azaroth VanHaydren, I'm a bloodcaster by trade but have a personal vice for stories of the occult. In Lathirn my friends and I heard rumors that you once worked in the now supposedly haunted Keep of Bloodstained Dreams, and we were hoping that we could borrow a few minutes of your time to hear your tale. What do you say?

 

[SlagMortar]

Beamer also steps forward to introduce himself. "I am Beamer. You seem respected here for your knowledge of the area far and wide."

 

[Patlin]

Banion will stay back, caring for the horses and ponies.

OOC: OK, Azaroth not Azeroth. Too much WoW.

 

[Knight Otu]

(Let's not forget about the confusion with a certain CoC entity here.)

The old man giggles. "Taka's gift! Whoever you talked to, was a big, fat liar! I didn't work there... no one works there! But... I was ...there!" The man's remaining eye scans Azaroth, commenting "Bloodcaster, ur? Don't see no scars on you - you sure that's what you are? And don't wave around that honeyspoon, Steamer, no one here respects me, specially not those kids! Come on in.!

 

[SlagMortar]

Beamer follows with a smile, saying "Well you must possess a bit of wisdom at least to not be taken in by strangers with kind words. Thankyou for your hospitality."

 

[Patlin]

Banion ties the horses up carefully, taking his time until he gets it right. He then follows, quietly.

ooc: What does CoC stand for?

Edit: Answering my own question: Call of Cthulu

 

[Knight Otu]

"More like experience, that would be." The man almost smashes the door into Banion's face before realizing there is another person. "Where'd you come from? You ought to consider some glaring colors if you want to be seen. Where were we? Ah, yes, the Keep of Bloodstained dreams. What have you heard about it already?"

 

[Xaov]

ooc: lol yes indeed. I noticed that at the very start that I was being called Azatoth. Heck ancient devil god sort of thing Aza could live with that save for the fact that Azathoth was blind and idiotic, that part he may have problems with. But overall the whole devil god of Nuclear chaos thing, wouldn't be all that bad.

Azaroth will follow the old man inside

We haven't heard that much. We've been told that its supposedly haunted, but it seems that most people in town refuse to talk about it. Its as if they are worried they will be cursed or something.

 

[Knight Otu]

"A very understandable worry. My advive? Stay away from the keep. But you're propably an adventurer, and never take such advise. I should know, I was like you back then...

We were four people, back then. Two knights, with a subtle, but existing rivalry for the love of Talina, a wandering mage from the southwest. And me, Taras, the scout. And, err, trapmaster. The knights heard about this ancient keep, apparently fallen in disuse after a series of cave-ins. The locals called it Keep of Bloodstained Dreams. We decided to pay it a visit..."

Taras closes his eye, apparently trying to shake the memories.

 

[Xaov]

*intrigued by the old man's apparent discomfort Azatoth will enquire*
You seem bothered? What was in that keep?

ooc: just for clarity is the old man Taras?
