malik21 12-13-04, 10:23 PM	((Welcome all, welcome!!)) Two miles away from the DarkHole Inn two figures can be seen in the distance. The look like regular humans, except a few abnormal features. One of them has a blue tint to their skin and another red. They both seem to be made of a thin substance, but also seem very solid the shorter one, with the blue skin seems to be talking to something on its shoulder, which upon closer examination seems to be a miniature devil. The blue one, names Vent pays no attention to the larger red skinned one behind him (Combus). As they get closer to their destination, where they would meet with their team to go save the Material Plane, the winds pick up and the temperature soars. They look around for their fellow adventurers in high hopes of restoring balance to the plane.

Lord Tarran 12-14-04, 05:10 PM	Along the great cave runs a great wolf. He is a little smaller than a polar bear, his fur and fangs both silver. His eyes are not evil, but are loving human eyes, the color of the sky far above these horrible caves. He barks a canine greeting as he stops before Combus and Vent, looking down at the slightly shorter men. Glad to see you could make it, Tarran, Says Vent. The wolf nods, as the fur on his body retracts into him, and he shrinks in general. He stands as a man shortly after the sickening bone crunches ended. His clothing was coarse, brown, and simple, his skin light, though worn. His body rippled with muscle, but not in a body builder like fashion, as the old Veran adjusted the kukri knife at his side. Honestly Vent, Tarran says in a calm voice, have I ever missed a chance to slay demons? When a Veran swears an oath, he plans to keep it. When do we leave from here? Do I have time to stop by and say hello to Christopher or not?
malik21 12-15-04, 07:16 PM	"We leave as soon as everyone gets here...You can see Chris afterwards,they will be here soon." Combus merely sighs.
Arcuna 12-17-04, 06:29 PM	Two new figures approach the group. One of them appears to be only a child, maybe 10 years old. He is dressed in strange clothes that look both royal and flexible. The other is a grown man in a blood red cloak. The other one, probably in his mid 20s, seems to be in meditation as he is walking. When they get to the circle, they stop. Vent and Jake stare each other down. After a little while, Combus breaks the silence. Jake! I'm glad you could make it. Vent glares at Combus, and then addresses Jake. I thought I told you to stay behind. Jake responds cooly. You don't actually think I'm going to take orders from you, do you? Vent starts to get angry, but quickly contains himself. This isn't the time or the place to be arguing. We have a job to do. He turns and looks at the older man. But I will not allow Heimosu to come along. That would just make this too dangerous. The grown man chimes in at this point. Actually, this isn't Heimosu, this is Avernus. Remember me, from Varangia? I'm taking over Heimosu's body for the time being. Otherwise, as you said, having Heimosu here would be too dangerous. Vent still seems quite angry, but he decides to put up with it. Fine, but if either of you start acting suspicious, you're outta here. You hear me? Avernus says telepathically to Jake, Kinda hard to not hear him. Jake smiles briefly, and they proceed to wait for the others to arrive.
malik21 12-17-04, 07:07 PM	Suddenly a bright light seemingly explodes from the center of the group of people. As the light recedes a single man can be seen. He wears dark clothes and has a blindfold around his eyes.He stands at about 6' 11" and seems to be about 21 years of age. He walks up to Jake about to say 'Hey' when he is interupted by Vent "WHO are YOU and what are you doing here?!" "...I am Itos" he says with a small bow to Vent "Jake invited me, I am here to hel-" "We do NOT need your help!" Vent turns to Jake "Why did you say he could come?! He is full of EVIL! I can sense it!!!" Vent continues to glare at Jake even through the complaints of Itos.. "I AM NOT EVIL YOU...YOU LITTLE....WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO CALL PEOPLE EVIL!!!"
Arcuna 12-17-04, 07:20 PM	Jake quickly steps in between them. Both of you shut up. Vent, I invited him along because he would be a great deal of help to us. Even if he was evil, he wouldn't necessarily be here to harm us. Did you ever stop to think that his goal could be the same as ours? I assure you, he isn't here to cause us any trouble. Jake then turns to Itos. Please forgive hm. He is very strongly opposed to both good and evil, and, no offense, but the aura you emit is, at first glance, evil. Jake turns to everyone now. He speaks calmly and professionally. His tone doesn't sound anything like how he talked earlier, it's more as if he had been trained to talk like this. As Vent has already said, we have a job to do. If we are constantly fighting and arguing, we aren't going to get anything done. We need to learn to put aside our differences, at least until this mission is over. Vent, how many more people are you expecting?
Lord Tarran 12-17-04, 07:34 PM	Tarran is busy sitting crosslegged, looking up at the arguing men above him. Chuckling to himself, he wonders when his companions will stop arguing, and start talking business. He had spent the past week getting here, and was ready to do some work. Are you planning on stopping gentlemen? We have work to do, and an annoying doppelganger to save.
malik21 12-17-04, 07:47 PM	It is hard to tell what expression Itos's face shows(because his eyes are hidden), but Vent's is one of pure anger "Only one or two more" Vent growls, his attention still on Itos. Combus resists chuckling to see the two men fighting. "What an exciting trip THIS will be" he exclaims.
turalisj 12-18-04, 02:22 PM	"indeed" an elven voice says from the shadows. "tell me, who are you waiting for? hmmm?"
malik21 12-20-04, 07:36 AM	Just as Vent was about to reply a little gnome (npc) came scurrying down the path. "M-Mr Vent..I-I brought t-the m-materials y-you wanted," she stuttered, obviously trying to avoid being yelled at. She holds out several somewhat thick looking cards. Vent snatches them from the gnome's hand sending her off to where she came from. Vent places them on the ground and they begin to morph into a tent looking thing. Vent walks in, combus following behind him. "Come, my friends"
Arcuna 12-20-04, 10:48 AM	Normally, Jake would have said something witty about Vent referring to him as a friend, but that wouldn't look too good after giving that little speech. Jake and Avernus follow Vent inside quietly.
Lord Tarran 12-20-04, 04:38 PM	Standing slowly like an achy old man, Tarran follows his friends into the tent. He speaks to all of them. You said when you sent for me that this was urgent. Why are we dragging our feet along on this?
malik21 12-20-04, 09:38 PM	As the group walks into the tent they see a variety of weapons of various sizes and shapes, sizes, and powers. There are also several gold pieces scattered across the room. There is a room of the tent off to the side,it seems to glow. "Take your pick" "I'd rather not...you don't seem to have very high quality equipment," says Itos with a smirk. "They are the finest in this plane" Combus states, somewhat agrivated at Jake for bringing this newcomer. "You need to respect your superiors"Vent says, his tone rising. "You?!..My superior?" Itos scoffs. "Yes, I am your superior. Dont you forget it!" "Whatever.." We are leaving in just a second Tarran.." Vent says ignoring Itos "We want to make sure everyone is fully equiped first"
Arcuna 12-20-04, 09:46 PM	I think Heimosu has enough equipment as it is. Avernus says with a laugh. Jake, however, picks up a morningstar, looks it over thuroughly, and begins to channel strange energies into it. After about a minute, Jake smiles and says, I'm good. :D
malik21 12-22-04, 08:28 PM	Itos leans down and picks a coin off the floor. Suddenly it disappears in his hand with a poof of smoke. The smoke gathers to make a strange face that seems to be sticking its tongue out at him. He shrugs it off and picks up another coin. It doesnt seem to do anything and he pockets it.
turalisj 12-23-04, 06:00 PM	"am i too late for this folly of a quest?" what appears to be an elf walks into the tent. his face has four golden whiskers, and his skin shines slightly like gold. on his back are two angelic wings. on his cloak is the symbol of correllen. on his hip is a lonsword, and on his chest is a chain shirt of fine mithril.
Arcuna 12-23-04, 06:18 PM	((Um, just so you know, we're two miles away from the inn. We're in a weird tent-like thing arming ourselves.)) Not at all, Jake says before Vent can say anything. Avernus smiles when he sees the newcomer. Glad to see that another person is helping. The more the merrier.
malik21 12-24-04, 12:58 PM	Combus walks over to the newcomer. "Please, take any item you want for our journey" He smiles. The winds outside seem to pick up a little.
turalisj 12-27-04, 10:27 PM	"i have my own weapons, but i thank you anyways. is it ok if a friend of mine comes along? he is a storm elemental though, so i dont know if you would like him amongest you.
malik21 12-28-04, 09:19 AM	Combus smiled "You may bring anyone along that you want"
malik21 01-16-05, 10:41 AM	(this thread will be left to die (mainly because i cant be on lately :( but when i get back i will restart it...sorry every one) :weep:
