Ellyssa Sahrawian

Having given the stubborn battlemage an antidote, all Elyssa had to do was wait. It took an agonizing five minutes, but Elyssa had her answer: The antidote seemed to be working The lines in his eyes were disappearing. With so many dead, What was there left to do? As far as Elyssa could tell, she and Alexandre were the only ones left. That changed when a wounded soldier, A drow came out of the forest. Apprehension welled in Ellyssa at first. Was she on the vampiric side of the battle? That answer came soon enough when she began examining Alexandre. She was an elderly drow, wizened and wrinkled, but she seemed to have no interest in the battle, and instead in scrutinizing Alexandre, and perhaps judging Ellyssa's skill as a healer.

"Hmm. human, balding," She opened his eyes. " Blue eyes, pink armor. Well-treated, well taken care of. Signs of poisoning, but poison symptoms have all but disappeared." Alexandre began vomiting." Except for one thing. She checked his breath and coughed. backing up in horror.

"This is an aconite potion infused with toxic sludge form the Mirtinas Vanduo Swamp, enchanted to make it far deadlier than it would be. You cured one set of symptoms, but not the other. There is a berry, white in appearance, with a red center. Most people don't go into the forest to look for them, anymore, but they are still around in plenty. Back in my day, they were rare. They grow on bushes, if you see any deer, you could follow them to a source, as the berry is something they eat -- It's called Lathana's Grace. Better hurry, I can only keep the poison in check for so long.

Whomever this drow was, was not interested in battle. She was a healer, perhaps Elyssa could learn much from her. It was an odd prospect, drow usually don't come to the surface unless they want to become vampires, Elyssa knew this. There was a story here. but that would have to wait.

Riniya:

Elyssa has cured one set of poison symptoms, but not the other, the Old drow suggested Lathana's Grace. It is a white berry with a red center. It means trekking into the forest. As an elf, Elyssa would know how to track animals, as hunting in the forest is how elves get their food most of the time.

As such, Ellyssa is uniquely suitable to the task of tracking deer, which eat the berry. This is a two post affair. One for collecting the berry, and one for giving it back to the drow elder.

Vyrl

Desire.

Desire was what had taken over Vyrl's mind. The desire to see what his new staff could do. His ability to sense the dead around him had greatly improved. The Skull had implied that it would grant him that ability. His talents greatly enhanced, and without needing to waste his energy on maintaining the army he created, he maintained his focus on finding new bodies.

A task that was easy, as Vyrl was able to easily pinpoint where bodies were, no matter where they were in the castle. What was more was that the undead seemed to be coming to him. the resurrected corpses of other necromancers were actively leaving the one's who had raised them from their eternal slumber, and making their way to him. It was made clear when a skeleton had opened the doorway to where Vyrl was hiding. Coming in the doorway were more undead. Perhaps he could use them as bodyguards.

Even more problematic for the resistance necromancers was that their undead were now attacking their masters. Vyrl knew from his time as a novice necromancer learning the basics that experienced necromancers don't usually have their own undead turn on them. The staff seemed to be hijacking the link, somehow. Of course these are resistance fighters, they could be novices, for all he knew.

Predictably a resistance fighter went into the doorway where Vyrl lay in wait. He was a grizzled elf with short grey hair and a scar on his face. For whatever reason, Vyrl had the desire to raise his staff. The urge was strong. Very stong. would he dare give into such an urge.

Elyssa was staring at the destruction in front of her and was transported back to that day all those years ago. It was such a peaceful day, just like the ones that had come before. One of the scouts came in late and was out of breath. They had fallen asleep at their post and the group of vampires had made their way past. The scout did not notice the drow, but even if he did would it have made a difference? Would she still be safe with her parents?

Elyssa was snapped out of her memories when the sound of a branch breaking drew her attention. She noticed an older woman walking her way and began to brace for an attack. The woman instead examined Alexandre and informed Elyssa that she would need to go into the forest to track a berry. Elyssa remained silent as the woman talked and promptly set off with no questions to do as she was bid. Elyssa cleared the battlefield and entered the forest, not looking back.

Once clear of sight, she slumped against a nearby tree.
"I should just leave. What use am I here? I can't fight like the rest. I'm just going to end up Vampire Food."
Elyssa rested for a moment before noticing the odd quietness of the forest.
"Strange."
It was clear as they were entering the battle that nature has been disturbed by the war raging just outside the forest line. So why was it so quiet? Elyssa moved slowly from the tree and began to look for any sort of clue.
"Quiet means a bigger beast is nearby and the rest of the animals and creatures are trying to stay hidden. So what is this beast?"


Elyssa understood having to remain hidden. She did it for years before her mentor found her that fateful day. But that was a memory for another time. Elyssa pulled her bow off her back and prepped an arrow, not yet drawing back the string, but at the ready. Elyssa watched as squirrels darted in front of her, across the roots of the trees she was surrounded by. She tracked them with her
There isn't one.

bow before losing sight of them behind the foliage. Elyssa kept moving, slowly, calculating. She watched her footsteps closely, making sure to step toes down and only shift her weight when she was sure no or only slight sound would be made.

Elyssa kept her eyes out for the berry.
"Tracking a deer is fine and all but what are the chances that during this battle a deer will be out looking for food?"
Elyssa heard a snap behind her and turned her body to face it, but nothing was there.
"You must be the beast the rest of the forest is afraid of. So what are you? A bear? A Wolf?"
She remained still with her arrow at the ready for a few moments before continuing on.
"I will not be apart of your cat and mouse game."


Elyssa came to a stream that wound its way through the various trees and brush. Towards the right, a dam was being built. Elyssa watched as a few beavers steadily traversed the current, adding twigs to the growing stack. She looked across the stream, maybe 5-6 feet in diameter and noticed a couple of tracks in the mud.
"Maybe?"
Elyssa sighed.
"I didn't want to get wet today."
She looked around and saw a tree breaking over the water. It was large enough to support her weight.

She sheathed her bow across her back and began to climb. She slowly made her way up the trunk and was soon hanging over the water. She braced herself and stood, keeping her balance easily. Elyssa jumped and pushed off the tree, landing smoothly and gracefully in a crouch on the other bank of the stream. She stood up and approached the tracks, noticing correctly that they were in fact, deer tracks.
"Okay, So I'm not following a deer, but the tracks.."
She noticed that they made their way deeper into the forest and cast one last look towards the now abandoned dam, noticing the missing beavers, before disappearing into the trees.
There isn't one.

Balta Mirta


Patikimas had spent much of the next fifteen minutes explaining to Balta just what had happened in Balta's absence since she left to battle Alexandre.

The stress of the battle, coupled with Lexius' antics was draining. It was a good thing none of the original members of House Gern were alive, none of them knew the reason they were in Sudovia. And she planned to keep it that way. She was certain she destroyed all links to that secret.

Lexius' whereabouts were being discussed, and his foolery needed to be punished. "Lexius was that much of a fool that he decided to release my pets?" Balta asked. Patikimas nodded coldly. "I can stab him for you if you wish, my love." Patikimas offered.

Backstabbing really does suit you, after all, you are the antagonist in a silly fairy tale Balta mused while staring at her current lover.

"That won't be necessary." Balta informed him. "I'm going to find him myself." Balta said non-chalantly. " You'd go onto the battlefield without a mount," Patikimas asked. Balta glared at her lover. Her eyes read "you know the answer,""I'm the only one who can calm the monsters he released. Once I find Lexius, I will punish him severely." Patikimas' gaze remained fixed on her.

"Sensible, I guess. I will go look for Vykdyti." Patikimas informed her.

Suddenly two very large bats flew into the aerie. A flash of light revealed to Balta that of two of Lexius' Vixnar Brutes. They were terrified.

"Balta, Balta, Lexius has released your pets!" they informed her. Her cold, stressed eyes gave them the death stare. " I already know, you dunderheads! Be a dear and help me find Lexius, else I shall feed you to my wyverns after I find him, and how dare you call me by my first name. I am Lady Balta Mirta, and you will address me as such, or I will have your heads on my wall!" she threatened

Of all the ignorant... she thought to herself

"Yes ma'am," they said in obedience and left the massive wooden door to the aerie. Balta's patience was at an all time-low. she sank to her knees. " If Tingus were still sane..." she said, "Then you wouldn't have your job," Patikimas informed her, sinking down to the floor with her. Balta rubbed her head. she had a headache.

"Yes, but also, perhaps Lexius wouldn't have gone down the path he did, had he not come to the dinner table dressed in that manner." Patikimas felt bad for Balta, she did not dare show weakness in front of anyone but him, it would have been problematic, but Patikimas was the only one who ever saw her this way. He knew that behind the tough fury of the head of Clan Gern was broken woman at her wits end, plagued with regrets, and pondering what-ifs. Struggling to teach her son the joys of responsibility.

"On your feet, my love." Patikimas urged her. "You are a strong woman, a smart woman. Lexius could still salvage himself. He needs a good teacher. Patikimas soothed her. Balta stood up.

"The last teacher who tried to "salvage" him ended up boiled alive in blood at his orders."
she informed him." Her furious gaze returned. she grabbed her scythe from the table, and began her preparations.

Annie

Chaos reigned supreme in the tower, just as it did all around her. As Annie used her magic to tie the ivy around the undead, a brick fell loose . Annie did not know it at the time, but she had uncovered something. Annie's focus was on the battle. The body that was once Nimenor shabled over to Lithia, who punished the twice-undead vampire with her consecrated silver dagger by slicing the neck. Unfortunately that did not kill her. She playfully giggled with glee as she killed undead around her. She took scratch wounds on her shoulders, which caused her to wince in pain. To Haegar, the display of Lithia's giggling was unsettling.


Annie's fire magic had scorched two other zombies. The acrid stench of burnt flesh permeated the air, as smoke rose from their bodies. Undead did not scream as they burnt to a crisp, however they did drop to their knees. Haegar chopped with his axe at several undead, Lithia slashed, stabbed, and parried with her dagger while being pushed back, all the meanwhile ignoring the scratch wounds she had taken on her arms.

It was as she was being wounded that Lithia heard her brother "SISTER," Brimblemir shouted, Brimblemir rushing up the stair with his bow out. Having seen his darling sister wounded set off his protective instincts. Arrows flew, as he charged up the stairs, one flew past his own sister, and landed in the center of the skull of the vampire that was once Nimenor, as Nimenor fell to her knees and to the ground, Lithia gave the undead sack of burnt flesh a merciful stomp to the neck with her boot causing the crunching of bone.

Annie's telekinesis spells had dislodged the stone gargoyles as well. After tying up the mages with the ivy, she used the gargoyle as a bludgeon to smack the tied up vampires. The cracking of skulls of grey brain matter and blood sprayed on the floor of the grey stonework. It was as Annie did this that she realized that the undead were finally at peace.

With all that had transpired, it was easy to miss what was the most crucial bit of information. Fortunately Haegar's curiosity got the better of him.

Why did such a brick become loose he thought. He stepped up and looked at the brick where the ivy had once been. Inside the hole was a book. A journal.

He began reading.

Jan 11, 640, Ancient Era.

We have arrived in this land, what the captured mortals call Sudovia. Our incursions have uncovered that all this time, Sanguinos could have expanded west, we did not know, nor did we want to know what lie to the west. What was it that caused Balta to decide to move the entire house so suddenly? Were the rumors true all this time? Did Balta actually kill him? The entire clan desires her to answer this question. Yet she dodges the answer. It is always the same answer, " We are on an expedition." she lies t happened on Sanguinos last year, I doubt that to be the case. ~ Lord Inspector Nezla Gern "


Haegar turned the page.

Jan 21, 640. Ancient Era.

It is fortunate that my position as lord inspector has given me access to the reports from our forces, I have decided to keep a record of each report I receive. Reports abound that the Sudovian Royal Palace has fallen, according to the stories, the king and queen were bit in the neck, and bled out. A toddler princess has escaped, fleeing with retainers. It is not clear where they will end up, but they are a threat, Balta has dispatched Lexius to track the princess down, it may be a while before that drunken buffoon returns to Castle Gern. Belmordia save us when he does, Reports also claim that a Prince Metras has been winning victory after victory with his son, Patikimas. Unfortunate.

Haegar put the book away. With a smile on his face he told each and everyone in the tower. "If what I have read is correct, Balta has enemies everywhere. Let's go tell this news to the old Man."

Annie,

Return to Vyras and company, the way behind them is clear, and the main group can move into the hole in the wall.
