UaVS-Yrtchull's Return...

With Cambrech on watch andthe others sleeping/meditating, things settle down. Looking over the blade in his hands, the Dark Elf wonders as to just who put this blade in that vault, guarded by such a horrific Fiend, as it was obviously the thing that was being protected amongst the other items. It was obvious that the Sword was...

What were these thoughts in Cambrech's head? It was almost as if the sword were...

Shaking off the odd probing of the sentience in the blade, Cambrech took another look at the Short Sword. It was old...stylistic grooves along that blade showed that, even to one not versed in Swordcraft. Several Centuries at least, if not longer. The hilt grew warm in Cambrech's grasp and he was about to set the blade down from discomfort when he heard a slight *pop* just outside of the chamber, and saw a flash of light from under the door.

A moment later, the door opened and there stood, of all people, Cambrech's brother Wesellu, along with another Drow and a Bugbear...

Grolvus blinks a couple of times upon seeing Cambrech. He scratches his head, then nods as if comprehending something.

He sheathes his bastard sword, and looks to Wesellu and Arngen.
 

"Uh, people we have company. Family..." Cambrech keeps alert, unsure whose side his brother is now on, his or his b*itch of a cousin's that betrayed him and Yrchtul.

OoC:Cambrech and his brother, along with Wesellu had always been fast friends. I am NPCing Wesellu until Caliber can post, as I wanted to get this story moving in a productive direction.

IC:Grinning sheepishly, the Wizard stepped tentatively forward, even as Urftuk rose to stand beside Cambrech, showing that he hadn't been sleeping at all.Wesellu looked the Orc up and down, mumbling'Extraordinary...' as he did so.
Nurin and Yrtchull easily came to as did Vorath, who had sensed the tremor of the Silver Door's depositing the three new arrivals outside.
All were now awake and aware of one another.
Wesellu spoke again'A most interesting tale we have to tell, Brother, Cousin...as do you, I assume? Suffice to say for now,I have put quite a snag in the plans of House Ferach, which would have killed myself and these two scallywags by the end of Longdark <midnight> this day. ENraela and Gentaria are quite angry with e, in fact...'
The last was said with such mock alarm that even the dour faced orc got the joke,hissing out a reptilian laugh.

Grolvus recognized Yrtchull as the Firstborn Son of House Ferach. he was known as a fair commander and an honerable warrior, if that were possible amongst the Drow. Theother Ferach, Cambrech, was unknown to him, as was the third Drow in the chamber. As well, there was a massive Orc who looked to have been crossed with a lizardman...and a skulking Dwarf who looked half insect. Drow experiments, perhaps? From what brief information Grolvus knew,Yrtchull has been betrayed by Enraela (was it true that he'd never have to see that scheming she-demon again? Thank Huggrek on that one...), left for dead a few weeks ago in a botched raid or some such.
 

Grolvus is heavily built, like most of his race. His eyes are greenish in colour, with red pupils, and his fur is yellow, save for the black hair on his head which is currently styled into spikes. He is also well-armed and armoured, a slight spattering of blood on his person suggests getting here wasn't a leisurely stroll.

"I am Grolvus," he introduces himself with a respectful inclination of his head to Yrtchull and the other drow, "My sword is at your disposal."

Grolvus realises the trio has found ideal allies, considering how they just made an enemy of Enraela. It would be far better to serve Yrtchull than Enraela anyway. He considers himself quite fortunate that Yrtchull isn't half as dead as he was thought to be, quite a pleasant surprise indeed. Escape from the she-demon and deliverence into the presence of the best ally he could think of. Hruggek be praised indeed.

The bug-duerger and lizard-orc were another matter entirely. Best to leave any questions about them unanswered unless necessity dictated otherwise.

OOC: With this new information.

After waking the others,Cambrech goes to embrace his brother. Then stops, and sheathes the sword, no need for Wesslu, to experience that pain. He then embraces his brother and friend and shakes the bugbears welcoming them. It is clear he to feels this is an auspicious meeting.
 

Yrtchull rises from the floor and greets Wesellu, Arngen, and Grovlus "well, this is indeed a surpise. 'tis good that you have decided to drop in, and not a bit too soon. we seem to be getting our fair share of hardships, even after our escape. With me is Uftuk, who at one point was an orc but is now the result of a wizards experiment. the same goes for Vorath, who is the duergar in the corner... But enough of my rambling. i will let each introduce themselves to you all, and then i can tell you how it was that we came to this place still holding on to what is left of our lives."
