[QUOTE="Wrahn, post: 1900794, member: 9191"] Elly~ The skittering gets louder, and she remembers where she has heard it. When she was still a young adventurer, she had been with a group going through the Avinel Woods and they had been set upon by giant spiders. She had been bitten, paralyzed and taken from her companions. She was sure she was going to die… Dimitri~ Thump, drag, thump, drag. It sounds just like the zombie. It had been nothing more than a malicious prank, but Dimitri had only been six and the thing had terrified him… Tares~ Laughter? Is that laughter? The laughter of children, laughing at him because he wasn’t good enough, wasn’t smart enough to be a wizard. It had made him so very angry in part because he was afraid it was true. Ata~ The deafening silence reminded him of the deep caverns which he had called home, where dark things dwelt. Alone what chance did one small Ugruu have? His parents had warned him never to stray too far, but he had and had been utterly and completely alone… Glangim~ Quiet weeping, he knew he could hear it now. The weeping of a young widow, widowed because he had failed the soldier under his command. How much more terrible will it be if he fails an entire dwarven nation? Shifter~ An inhuman snarl, the taste of human blood. He knew what he was, the kind of monster that has no form, not human, the destroyer of everything he knew. What had he done? What had he become and how much longer would it be before he betrayed these friends? All~ It starts as a hint, a sound in the silence that only they can hear, a chain of thoughts that lead them to fears thought long forgotten. The emotion rises as if they were reliving it, then seems to pass out of them and into the room. Then it happens again, and again each time with a different memory a different fear. It continues faster and faster exposing every tiny fear, every thought of inadequacy, till finally it stops, leaving everyone shaken, breathing heavily. They can feel the fear that was ripped from them swirling around the room. A moment later it begins to coalesce, and in the eerie darkness and the flickering light, they can see their fear begin to take form. It stands nearly seven feet tall, it’s body that of a human except it is completely sexless, has gray skin. Instead of a head it has a swirling mass of dark smoke and a dozen floating red eyes. From it’s back springs two pair of gigantically proportioned spider’s legs. (OOC: Weekends are usually bad for me posting and this one is going to be no exception. Combat will commence on Monday) [/QUOTE]
