ooc: this is my new quest thread, anyone can join, anytime if you want, no prior experience needed.

in a valley between great mountans lies a simple monastery. it is little more than a artificial plateau with surounding walls. the surrounding village is in flames. inside a battle has been raging 50 students armed with various weapons stand together as a fury magus laughing hiddiously with his oversised sharp-toothed mouth, and three mobs step through the gateway. many students litter the stone ground, as well as several mobs. it is clear the wariors will loose this fight. it begins to rain. the rain picks up. lightning arcs across the sky. sudenly, as the magus raises his arms and begins to roar, a bolt of lightning slams into his face, crushing him like a paper cup. master mian gou stands on top of the evicerated creature.
a young man wearing training robes made from animal furslands behind one mob, grabs him by reaching backwards, and hurls him away. his fingers have grown green claws.
the mob gets up, snarls, then dies of his seemingly minor wounds

ooc:ill leave the third for smoke

A cloaked being blurs towards the third mob. A clawed rat-like foot escapes the bottom of the cloak and strikes the mob's chest. At the same time as the kick connects with the mob, the cloak flies back to reveal the attacker. It is indeed a black furred ratman is beneath the cloak. His eyes are red and he wears tight leather armor now. A smile spreads across his face as he swings his clawed hand at the mob, the knife-like hand accelerates faster then should be possible and hits with enough force to bury itself deep into the mob's skull. Before it can be fully registered that the ratman struck the mob, his hand is back by his side.

The mob falls to the ground with an escaping groan from its dying body. Smoke cocks his head sideways, ears twitching until the heartbeat stops. The ratman turns back to Mian Gou and the others, confident that the mob has died. He begins to pull his cloak back over him as he looks over the students.
lunoc

03-18-08, 05:32 PM
the mass of students seem shocked at the mob's defeat.
one of the students steps forward. and points with his weapon at lunoc, who had been slowly walking along the temple wall

"wait, you! your lunoc! you were banished from this place! "
he advances but mian gou speaks
no! he would kill you like a small dog. lunoc has turned from his old ways, he is assisting me.
Sorcen_Anenooata

03-18-08, 06:28 PM
Smoke finishes pulling his cloak around him as he watches the events. He nods to Lunoc as the damwulf comes into view.
lunoc

03-18-08, 08:50 PM
lunoc in human form laughs
realy what gave me away.
he looks at his clawed hands.
ahh... right
as he talks his clothes seem to merge with his body, becoming black fur. his transformation is sudden, is seconds he is a damwulf once again

mian gou walks away from the gate towards the back wall. this area is clear from the buildings in which students live. as he reaches the wall, it seems to melt away. a white archway springs from the ground, and stairs upward begin forming in front of him. they form as he walks.

come, follow me.
Sorcen_Anenooata

03-18-08, 10:06 PM
The cloaked ratman follows Master Mian Gou without hesitation. He tests the stairs at first but grows to trust them as he ascends them.
Aqua

03-19-08, 04:36 PM
A cold wind rushes through the area and stepping out of nowhere is a true genasi. He has short white hair and eyes filled with all the elements swirling within them. He is large and very muscular. His face has a cold expression on it. He has a huge greatsword strapped to his back and two guns strapped at his side. He has light blue hakama, he also has light blue sashes covering his fists up to his shoulders and then they cover his whole chest. He looks around the area and the whole area seems to shake. Who is the leader of this area?
lunoc

03-19-08, 04:55 PM
(hi aqua, welcome to the thread.)

the stairs lead upward into the mountans, untill an large stone watchtower comes into veiw, where they level off thousands of feet above the ground.

mian gou spins around to face the newcomer.

i am master mian gou, elder spirit, what is your purpose here?

blades appear in lunoc's hands and he assumes a fighting stance but mian gou moves in front of him
Aqua

03-19-08, 05:05 PM
(Thanks)

The man's facial expression doesnt change if anything it grows colder. The air around them seems to freeze sucking out the heat out of everyone. I was brought here by something what I dont know. He looks around and then back at the two who seem ready to attack. I have no weapon drawn you could at least control yourselves before something gets out of hand...I dont think you would want your precious arms broke now would you? My name is Tempest Blackmoon and what is this place?
lunoc

03-19-08, 05:17 PM
lunoc growls at tempest
id love for you to try it
mian gou holds him back

lunoc, calm down, now then tempest currently you are standing on my bridge very high in the air, but we were just headed to that tower over there. your welcome to accompany us, perhaps i can help you find what brought you here.
the old spirit turns away and continues walking

this tower was built long ago by human explorers, i happened across it when building my monastery. there is somthing there i think you should see

lunoc waits for a moment, looking at tempest, then continues walking, his blades fading away
Aqua

03-19-08, 05:19 PM
Tempest follows just looking around taking in everything. He seems to like to know what his surroundings are by just watching him. He just follows the sprit and keeps an eye on Lunoc.
Sorcen_Anenooata

03-19-08, 05:36 PM
Smoke shivers some at the genasi's cold aura. He follows after Mian Gou and Lunoc. As they walk he extends a clawed, black furred hand to the genasi. "I am Smoke Evatar, nice to meet you."
Aqua

03-19-08, 11:13 PM
Tempest looks at the hand and reaches his out greeting him in what looks to be a warriors handshake. Tempest Blackmoon at your service. It is also nice to meet you. Tempest notices the shiver and lessons his aura and replaces it with a warm feeling nothing harmful more of a comfort. He continues to follow the group.
Draginja

03-22-08, 10:39 AM
As the group walks along, a shadow suddenly detaches from the wall and walks beside them. The shadow blurs into the shape of a human woman, dressed in all black, even a black masklin covering her face from the nose down. Her eyes, one red one silver, and shiny pink hair clearly show she is more than human. "Well, well. And just where might you fancy people be headed?"
Sorcen_Anenooata

03-22-08, 11:12 AM
Smoke's ears twitch as the shadow woman appears. He is not startled as she silently sneaks upon them and queries them. "According to Master Mian Gou, we are headed to the tower in the distance, I'm sure you are welcome to follow us."
Draginja

03-22-08, 04:56 PM
"why thank you. That sounds like fun." She falls into step with them, looking at Tempest. "You're a Blackmoon, aren't you. There's no doubt. You look like one."
lunoc

03-23-08, 05:27 PM
when they reach the tower, the wolf man's fur dissapears, as he assumes human form.
lunoc turns to the newcomer
i am lunoc, what would your name be? he grinns with his pointed teeth



the tower is lit by streams of light pouring in the broken walls. the old master leads the group through several corridors, through a tunnel and finaly into a room with a surface blasted as if with fire. verry old and burnt skelotons in posisions of aggony litter the floor. engraved in every surface in the metal room, even on some of the bones, are strange letters. the same sentance in an uninteligible language.
Aqua

03-25-08, 01:56 PM
Yes I am and who might you be? As they reach the room Tempest stares at it with cold eyes. The area around him seems to start coating over in frost.
Draginja

03-26-08, 03:15 PM
"I am called Kerri. Mostly because that's my name. And it's a... *rolls a d20* ...pleasure to meet you all."
Aqua

03-26-08, 10:43 PM
Tempest bows and looks around the room some more.So what are we going to do in here?
lunoc

03-27-08, 08:25 PM
mian gou stands in the center of the room, facing the others

the mobs, those beasts that attacked my monastery, are failed attempts by devils to create somthing much older, and powerfull. humans, once attempted to do the same, thankfully they failed. you see their fate before you. but somehow, the nine devils have created somthing, some abbomination that spawns these mobs. if they manage to refine the procces, a creature will be born with power enough to chalenge all of mortal, imortal, and even godly life. you must destroy this object before that happens

the walls seem to slowly move, like water pushing slowly upward.

there is still a trace of that energy here, enough to follow anyway. the trail is weak, but you should be able to track it within a hundred miles.
Sorcen_Anenooata

03-27-08, 10:36 PM
Smoke nods as Mia Gou speaks, his rat nose twitching. "Yes their smell still lingers, although it is faint as you said."
Aqua

03-27-08, 11:14 PM
I hope you all can move quickly I dont want to loose you.Tempest begins moving and his eyes glowing as he does. He also sniffs the air. He begins following the tracks moving quickly.
lunoc

03-28-08, 10:12 PM
(aqua, there arent litteral tracks, just energy, but i dont think you have to edit)
the energy leads to the wall, which opens to the side of the mountan. lunoc hesitates before leaving
your not coming master?

no, i will go to find the creature legion, he may yet be a powerfull ally to us. good luck with your mission
Aqua

03-29-08, 04:23 PM
(No Tempest can follow anytime of energy with his True sight vision. Its a special ability we made up for one of our games. It slows everything down for him and he can see everything as it truly is.I should of said something about it in the first place i had his eyes glow lol)

Tempest continues moving he only stops to see if everyone is following him as he moves.
lunoc

04-04-08, 06:45 PM
alright master, more for for us
lunoc runs at the cliface, and just as he reaches the edge, dissapears. a sound shockwave follows soon after.
(lunoc is moving at an angle towards the forest. verry fast)
Sorcen_Anenooata

04-04-08, 07:39 PM
Smoke half leaps into the air and as soon as his feet touch the ground, he blurs and disappears. He catches up to Lunoc and keeps pace. As they run at supersonic speeds, Smoke calls out to the damwulf. "Should I go back and help the other two track you to our destination?"
lunoc

04-04-08, 07:47 PM
lunoc skids to a halt
yea, your right, ill wait here, maybe scout ahead
Sorcen_Anenooata

04-04-08, 08:18 PM
Smoke nods and changes course suddenly, reversing direction and appearing beside Tempest and Kerri. "I can give you two a lift if you like, I'm sure if you want to take your time that wont be a problem either though. Lunoc and I just travel a bit fast." He says to them as politely as he can.
Aqua

04-07-08, 09:23 PM
Hmm ok well give me one more second if your moving that fast I might need to change my training more. Tempest stops and reaches into his bag pulling out bracers,leg bands and other things. They are a thick silverly,white and red metal with blue aquan symbols carved into them. He begins putting them on and once all are on the ground around him cracks and he falls into the ground a bit more.He speaks in his usual cold manner.Please forgive me but if your moving that fast I need to put more weights on. I dont need help I am and elemental monk and my fathers have granted me the power of the elements. Thank you for the offer but I cant have myself helped it isnt against you it is my training habbits.He begins to burst into speed facing in and out as if there are hundreds of him and he sprints forward after everyone gets everything settled.
lunoc

04-08-08, 08:57 PM
(he puts on weights... to go faster?)

when they arive to where lunoc was, there is nothing there. suddenly, lunoc crashes through a tree, hits the ground once but rolls onto his feet.
a huge (size catagory) black pit fiend knocks over several trees with a glowing maul on his way to lunoc. he wears light plate armor with better joints so he can cast. he swings the hammer through a tree trunk in his way
come back here! im not done with you yet welp!
lunoc dissapears, his soulblades forming in his hands.
the big fiend grabs his side out of reflex, like he was bitten by a bug. doing this, he drops his hammer on his foot. he roars in pain.
the damwulf (lunoc) laughs at him and shouts mockingly
whats the matter xalax? you seem tired, you need rest, i cant imagine what its been like for you, sleeping in a cave with nothing to eat
a ray of energy cuts lunoc off, knocking him several yards away. xalax (pit fiend) goes to retrive his hammer from the ground. (it ended up near the group)
Sorcen_Anenooata

04-08-08, 09:20 PM
Smoke nods to Tempest, "No problem." The ratman turns as Lunoc crashes through the tree. He blurs from view and appears near Xalax, crouched and hidden to the fiend's left. Smoke waits for an opportune moment before attacking.
lunoc

04-08-08, 09:56 PM
xalax is unaware of smokes pressence. he takes a knee to get his hammer.
Sorcen_Anenooata

04-09-08, 07:11 AM
Smoke listens until Xalax is into position, he then darts out from behind his tree. His urumi leaps into existence, slashing at the giant pit fiend's leg even before the blade appeared completely. The intricate dance of the blade aims for the fiend's gastrocnemius (muscle on the back side of the leg, opposite the shin, I may be wrong in the name though).
lunoc

04-09-08, 06:16 PM
xalax grabs his leg and shouts. he looks at smoke and shouts an incantation. the ground below smoke appears to melt, turning to tar.
Sorcen_Anenooata

04-09-08, 07:39 PM
Smoke senses the ground below him changing. He tries to run but his feet hold fast in the sticky tar. The ratman begins to panic but calms himself. He meditates and his legs begin to blur, the tar liquifies and falls away, releasing its hold on Smoke. Smoke disappears and the tar parts as if thrown forcefully upwards. The ratman appears hidden behind trees once again, waiting for his next moment.
Aqua

04-10-08, 11:46 PM
Tempest disappears and a cold wind blows through the terrain. Tempest appears in the air holding his foot up to his head and he comes crashing down letting go of his leg straight at the pit fiends head. Your in our way abomination now leave before we destroy you....
lunoc

04-11-08, 04:38 PM
xalax catches tempest's leg in middair, and uses his momentum to slam him towards the ground.

abomination! you call me an abomination you half mortal waterling!

lunoc recoveres and slams into xalax a supersonic speed, making him let go of tempest's leg and pushing him backwards.
lunoc lands besides tempest
Aqua

04-14-08, 05:01 PM
You have a temper why do most abominations like you have them?Tempest disappears and reappers behind Xalax and flurries into him hitting him 60 times in certain spots on his body he begins to feel with each strike Tempest is trying to shatter his bones.
lunoc

04-29-08, 11:26 AM
xalax snarls in pain, but about half way through tempest's assault, slams him with his wings
Sorcen_Anenooata

05-16-08, 11:19 PM
Smoke zips from behind his cover and charges at Xalax. Multiple sonicbooms erupt as he swings his fist at the fiend's stomach. As his punch lashes out, he turns his body in a way that allows his other arm to attempt to smash Xalax's leg at the knee.
lunoc

05-23-08, 06:46 PM
xalax grabs his leg (the same knee that was broken by legion).
arhh, you lowsy-
xalax raises a fist full of lightning, but stops. he looks over to the left, shocked.

a large figure stands beside a tree. legion was watching the fight for, who knows how long. he has new clothes, travelers clothes of good quality. his strange eyes move slower, they seem glazed over.
well, i knew i couldn't expect sorcen, so i guess you people will have to do. smoke, put down xalax, he might be useful.

xalax limps forward
because of you i have lost everything! my armies, my fortress, my knee! what makes you think ill help you?

because, i can give all you have lost back, once your old master, that dirt that tricked me asemodus, is dead there will be nothing in your way.
Sorcen_Anenooata

05-23-08, 07:16 PM
Smoke was just about to run upon seeing the lightning in Xalax's hand. He halts his retreat though and glances at Legion before turning his gaze back to watch Xalax.
Aqua

05-24-08, 12:51 PM
Tempest gets up off the ground popping his neck looking at everyone.''Great Gaia where am I....''Tempest continues to look at everyone then at smoke.''You know any of these people?''
Sorcen_Anenooata

05-25-08, 09:51 AM
Smoke nods and moves to stand near Tempest. "Yeh for the most part." He points to each of them as he lists off names. "Legion, hes some powerful outsider slaying force that wants to kill Asmo. Xalax, one of the pit fiends working for Asmo kinda. Lunoc, well you know him."
Aqua

05-25-08, 11:33 AM
Tempest nods and bows at smoke. ''Thank you. Now what are we going to do with them?''
lunoc

05-25-08, 05:34 PM
i can take you to the cyst, the thing that creates mobs. i will help you destroy it must destroy it.... destroy... no more time.
Aqua

05-25-08, 05:42 PM
''What do we get out of destroying this Cyst?''
lunoc

05-25-08, 11:52 PM
what would you want mortal? besides preventing the collapse of the universe? greater evils will pass out of the cyst in time. they will destroy your worlds, all life, until the dimension is remade for them is that not enough?
legion seems calm, but the black tendrils under his skin contract and move violently
Aqua

05-25-08, 11:54 PM
''They can't be as bad as the one my Grandfather fought in our world....Noone is more powerful then Baaltriel....But if you wish I shall aid you just tell me what I need to do to help you.''The air around Tempest begins to freeze and the ground is start to coat with ice.
lunoc

05-26-08, 12:01 AM
these are not devils, these creatures should not exist. the gods entrusted me to destroy them. i entrusted them to hold their secrets locked away. it seems we have both failed

ill finish tomorrow
Aqua

05-26-08, 12:02 AM
Tempest nods and pops his neck.''So these things are powerful will we need reenforcements?''
lunoc

05-26-08, 09:48 AM
no, no time timetimetime if we act quickly, there should only be the lesser beings there, but if we do not destroy the cyst soon it will bring forth a creature that even i cannot stop. continue moving towards the cyst, i will meet with you there
legion fades and disappears if nothing else is said

xalax turns to smoke and tempest
well, i gess we work together. smoke, you saved me before, but are you sure about these others?
Aqua

05-26-08, 01:48 PM
''Hurry abomination you are slow and I do not want to have to destroy you because you held us back to talk....Tempest begins running full speed toward the cyst.
Sorcen_Anenooata

05-26-08, 01:58 PM
Smoke nods, "Trusted? Yes, or at least more then some people in our present company group." His eyes stay on Xalax and keep from hinting at anyone in particular.
lunoc

06-21-08, 02:36 PM
( wow, sorry for my long absence, this thread has been giving me some problems)

the cyst
a giant rolling, boiling, mass is being tended by mobs. a woman can be seen standing on a ridge, supervising the work. she is heavily armored, but carries no weapons. the mobs snarl in approval as more of there kind are churned forth. another group of the creatures are leading a line of mortal slaves to the cyst, were they throw them in.
the woman raises her hands
brothers! do not loose strength! soon the fool asemodus will be dead, no longer giving us orders. our supreme ruler is near, every moment brings him closer to creation. do not fear the traitor, he will be crushed beneath us!
the mobs roar and double their work

legion silently appears
i am partly to blame for this. if i had not been blind, if i had seen what was happening... none of this...
