**nocturne's wrath**

before i open the door i listen to know if there is somebody inside. then i look if there is a trap in the door and then i look if its locked if its locked i try to lockpick it as silent as possible and then i use lightbend and sneak in the door (if there are people then forget about sneak in then i look for what i do)

**The Bringer**

Ranun continues to strike at his foes. Whatever the chant of the knights, it makes Ranun less cautious and he charges deeper into the horde of skeletons yelling, making wide sweeps with his kanabo

**Tyranic Marta**

(Ranun) After a time you realize that the skeltons have been destroyed and the chant dies away, you turn to the knights, they barely look phased by the battle. Their mounts are calm and even in thier heavy armour they arnt breathing any heavier than normal.

You yourself are quite fine having spent your entire life in martial pursiuts, your body is incredibly powerful able to withstand much more than the pathetic blows of the skeletons.

One of the knights turns to you, "You fight well, we would consider it an honour to have you eat with us and lodge at our fortress this night. There are other bands of undead around, we would appreciate your aid in defeating them. The knight takes of his helm to reveal a mane of pure white hair, "My name is Tyranic Marta, I am the captain of this company, and i invite you to stay with us and fght by our side for a time, unless you have other matters to attend to?

**Tyranic Marta**

(Nocturne) There is noone in the rom, and the door is locked but it is no match for your skill, it appears to be the room you are looking for, a large richly adornded bed is in one side of the room and many comfortable rugs and cusions are arrayed on the floor.

**The Bringer**

"Thank you sir Marta, you yourself fight very well, as do your men. I am called Ranun of Crisela. I have nothing important to attend to, so it would be my honor to lodge with you, and also my honor to help you fight of the bands of undead."

**nocturne's wrath**

i walk to a shadowy place next to the bed. there i stay until i hear some1 enter. cause then i will use lightbend

**Tyranic Marta**

(Ranun) The knight nods, ereplacing his helm, "this is to the good, see our castle? that is our destination,"

The knights lead you across the plains quickly realising that you can happily keep up with a slow canter, nearing the fortress you are awed by the sight, The gates are made of a pearlecent light that shimmers as you watch it, one of the knights dismounts and grips your upper arm, as the pair of you walk through the light it parts around you, the knight looks at you "If i hadnt gripped your arm the light of phobos would have registered you as unholy and would have smited you with holy fire, because i am touching you i have given you a temporary blessing, you are our guest here, you need but ask to leave if you so wish and one of us will aid you through the lighs of phobos."

**Tyranic Marta**

(Silentsong) you are forced to wait for a long time, the party downstairs drags on and on, eventually however you hear the door click open and a man walk into the room, he is your target, dressed in richly embroidered robes of deep purple he walks calmly although with a slight stagger from intoxication of alcahol.

**mezorgon1234**

the archers quickly dig a pit and lure the golden warrior towards it. when the sticks snap the warrior falls onto the spikes below.

**Tyranic Marta**

(Trayln) The warrior screams in pain as the spikes drive the gold leaf into his body the natural toxins in the heavy metal begin to poison his system at an alarming rate and he quickly dies.

**nocturne's wrath**

i wait until he walks to his window then i use lightbend again and then i push him through it let it look like an accident. then i walk down the stairs woth lightbend.

**Tyranic Marta**

(silentsong) The man falls screaming to his death several stories down, he lands headfirst on the cobblestones outside the front door. You quickly evacuate the building, using the general hubbub as cover to escape, swiftly you descale the walls and dissapear into the surrounding township.

**nocturne's wrath**

i run to the town and take a random horse to the guild

**Tyranic Marta**

(silentsong) The guild welcomes you in and your horse is takento the stables, a group of acolytes surround you asking you questions about the assassination

**Tyranic Marta**

(sos cruor kinda forgot about you) Your request is granted and several undeathknights are assigned to your command

**Cruor Defaeco**

Gathering up the gear and ordering his knights to move out they head into the forest.

**Tyranic Marta**

(crour) The group looks eeiry in the half light shed by the moon, the group of insubsantial knights moving swiftly but in near silence through the forest.

**Cruor Defaeco**

Seeing a light far of in the distance Cruor sets of towards it aprocing with the wind in there face. Cruor orders his men to unsling there weapons

**Tyranic Marta**

(Cruor) There is a dry creak as old leather bends to the need, hands gripping old worn blades, the hill you approach levels out and in the distance you see a well lit fortress, with a surrounding town.

**Cruor Defaeco**

Seeing this they head to the edge of the forest. Cruor calls one of the undeath nights back to camp to inform of the town saying make hast. Telling the other knights to dismount and cloth up "cause the didnt want to scare the locals" says "Where going to scurt round the town find a place to stay or make one but first lets remove stranger infront of us or lest identerfy it". Riding out clothed up they aproch the stranger wepons at ready.

**nocturne's wrath**

i promise the acolyts i will tell them every thing but first i need to the master. as he gave me the mission and the mission is not completed when i not report

**Tyranic Marta**

(Silentsong) The acloytes nod and smile, understanding, you walk though the guild and to the doudle doors of the Chamber of silence. Pushing the doors open the swing silently around and hit padded stoppers, again silently. you walk forwards and the familiar padded floor muffles all sound of your steps. To all intents and purposes you arnt there and you never were. In the middle of the room is a middle aged man wearing pitch black robes of velvet. He isnt facing you.

"You are back,"

As yousual this startles you, you are still not used to him being able to not only notice when people enter the chamber but identify them as well.

**Tyranic Marta**

(Cruor) The Stranger infront of you is tall, he would be a full 8 feet at the shoulder, slung from his back is a powerful recurve bow and a leathal looking sword, several other weapons hang from his belt and a spear is gripped in his hand, shifting onto his back foot he gets into a defensive position. The undeathknights check their steeds and sit calmly observing the stranger, awaiting your command.

**The Bringer**

"This is truly a beautiful place, Marta...

Can you answer me one question though, skeletons are hardly a mighty adversary, but you spoke of other bands of undead wandering these lands, is there something greater to fear than skeletons that has been raised?"

**nocturne's wrath**

"yes father im back and my mission is done"

**Tyranic Marta**

(Ranun) Marta dismounts and heads towards one of the buildings, "walk with me satyr". This fortress is not placed here by chance, the two of you walk deep into the fortress, passing great doors and facades made of wrought gold and silver. He opens a door and you see stairs leading downwards.

At the base of the staris, some 400 down you come out into a huge chamber, Completely circluar with a large crystal set in the center of the room, it is about 9 feet high.

Marta stops and tells you to walk forwards, "No holy knight may enter the circle of Phobos without a blessing from the Grand master of the fortress, but you may approach, do not touch the cryst."

You walk forwards, noticing lances of runes, in massive spiraling patterns criscrossing the floor, when you get close to the cryst you look into it, set into the cryst is a massive skeleton, about 8 feet tall, its withered body still clutching a massive greatsword, made of pure obsidian.

**Tyranic Marta**

(silentsong) "tell me, give me the details of his death."

**The Bringer**

Ranun looked around, taken aback by the odd and glorious sight. He wanted to touch the crystal and feel its cold surface, but he heeded the warning of the knight.

"I have traveled and seen the greater part of the civilized world, and never have I seen or heard of such a device.

My mind is filled with many questions now. What is it, and what is its purpose, and how does this relate to the undead?"

**Tyranic Marta**

The being you see in the center is one of the great undead ataani lords, known as the sons of Plague, the crystal is a highly rarefied form of mineral that you would know as diamond, however our order knows it as angels tears, as this stone was formed when a thousand angels wept over the body of their fallen champion, that was this warrior, he was ressurected by an ancient entity, known as Plague, but was trapped in the cryst formed by the angels tears, if someone were to touch the crystal it would shatter, and he would be released. And not even the order of Phobos could defeat such a foe. The undead scouring the lands around are attempting to free this evil."

**nocturne's wrath**

"i made it look like an accident. i waited in his room and i pushed him from the balcony. he was drunk so it was possible."
