[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 1018687, member: 1210"] [b]A Visit With Anvar[/b] Teleportation magic whisks Horbin, Lester and Orbius to a distant plateau in the Bendrock Mountains. A small cabin, built from stones and wooden logs felled by strong arms, sits there; a garden is next to it, neat rows of plants tended by the dark-skinned man currently hoeing away, who looks up with a faintly disgruntled look on his face. "Anvar!" the L calls. Slowly Anvar straightens up. The look on his face has grown darker, turned to a deep frown. "I asked you to give me a week," he states flatly, "before contacting me again." "Yeah, too bad," Lester retorts. "Listen, you're one of my old apprentices and I need your help. I know your experiences have left you unhappy, especially whatever happened with the horrors, but you can't just turn your back on our religion." Anvar opens his mouth to respond, but Lester plows ahead without stopping. "Things are ugly for us now. The Temple of Elemental Good has been overthrown, my followers are scattered, and they need some help and protection. The enemy is after me and struck at them to get at me. I need you to help them. I can't right now- I'll just bring more trouble down on them. While I strike out at the Temple of Elemental Evil, will you help them gather and reform?" Anvar frowns deeply. "I have not practiced actively in some time," he answers slowly. "Yeah, I know, but it's time you picked up the mantle again. [i]I need your help![/i] They need your help! And it has nothing to do with the clockwork horrors this time. It's actually far worse, but my companions and I will handle it. I'm not asking you to act directly against the enemies I have- not even against the Temple of Elemental Evil, which I know you worked against for years- just to help my followers rebuild. Please." Anvar looks down at his sandaled feet.

Less than an hour later, Anvar is dressed in his mithral armor, unused for years. He's strapped his blade to his side. And with him is his companion in the simple life- Krunkshank. Together, the five teleport back to Var. Anvar departs within another hour, mounted on one of the warbirds called kocho, leading a pair of equine pack animals called linneps, following the trail of Lester's dispersed followers, half-hoping he does not find them. Krunkshank stays in Var, at least for the time being. "Well, that wasn't so hard," Lester muses, then starts washing up.
