“I heard some of his underlings saying they think he’s a vampire, he whispered quietly “If that’s true, and you say he has magical laces on the hood that covers his face, that must mean they protect him from sunlight.” Azura seemed stunned, that made a lot of sense.

“Yeah, probably. Well that’s a mystery solved, can’t they also turn into mist? I guess that’s how he snuck up on us.” Johnny nodded, but this meant he had to challenge Elder to a duel, for he had a plan.

Midnight, Barbarian Village.

Anastasia and Forrest entered the longhall, and was pleased to see all her favorite people, except for Azura, and Ko, where were they?

Lowe decided to bring the two up to date.“So we’ve decided to try and get assistance from Falador if it’s at all possible. We’re not sure if Varrock has a government anymore, and Azura is either dead or stuck in Varrock somehow, and Forrest we have a very special job for you.”

“What now, 'bout that part on Azura? Wait ya’ll know what, how the hell this all happen in tha’ first place... and who’s tha’ guy in the red armor?” Moric simply smiled thinly in response.

“Hahaha!” Eckhard laughed at the uneducated city folk “You never heard of Karamthulhu in your silly schools did you?” Eckhard drank from his large mug and then resumed looking bored.

“Well are you going to tell us?” Moric asked.

“I know that legend.” Anastasia said firmly. Eckhard looked amused again.

“You are not from here.” he said pointing at Anastasia.

“I come from a land of ice and snow, is not important right now. Now do you want me to tell them about Karamthulhu, or do you want to do it?”

“I thought Karamthulhu was the name of your squid thing.” Lowe asked raising his eyebrow.

“I’ll tell this story, I am Chief!” Eckhard’s voice boomed. He began to explain to them the untold history. Anastasia thought back to when they were attacked in the elven lands since she had Overlord present at the table, was it because they feared the god Karamthulhu, was it because they understood the danger? The tribes in Karamja seemed to be aware of the legend and danger as well, and so did this village of barbarians. So far it was only isolated, and relatively uncivilized people who knew about this. Why?

“Wait a goddamn minute.” Aiden said as he tried to wrap his mind around the 'history’ the chief had just told everyone.

“You’re telling us, an ancient fish god is angry and returning to this realm with undead legions and squid to reclaim his land?” Caden finished. Forrest began laughing.

“I guess der ain’t many other ways ta explain this stuff though.”

“And if you go in... Mister...?”

“I’m Forrest, man nice to meet you.” he shook Moric’s hand, and nearly crushed it with his tight grip.

“Moric, nice to meet you too,” he slung his hand to get the blood flowing again “Forrest, your friends say you can be stealthy and quiet when you want to. So we want you to enter the city, and observe the undead, see what they’re doing. We also want you to see if anyone else is alive, and so on.”

“I can do that.” Forrest nodded.

“Mean while we’re just going to hang tight here, and wait for the messengers to return from Falador.”

“And protect the village! We live only twenty feet from a river, it’s perfect for Overlords and their undead minions to come in and take over.” the Chief’s voice echoed out.

“And if we can get their attention on us, instead of Varrock, we could pull off a rescue mission.” Lowe suggested.

“Yeah, that’s a perfect plan, me and Caden and Moric can stay behind with the Chief and his family to hold down the fort, and then Anastasia, Forrest, Ko, and Lowe can go in all stealthily with some of your most quiet hunters-”

“Ko is not here.” Anastasia told him.

“Where the hell is he? I thought he was light on his feet.”

“I have not seen him for.. almost two days.”

“So we have Azura and Ko missing?” Caden sighed.

“That is a good a good plan!” Eckhard nodded vigorously.

“Now we just have to find a way to cause the... what should we call them?” Lowe scratched his head, he was sick of not having a formal name for their newly found enemies.

“They worship Karamthulhu, they are a cult, let’s call them the cultists?” Anastasia suggested.

“That works,” Lowe shrugged “So we’ll have to find a way to lure the cultists into attacking here so we can sneak around and yadda yadda.”

“I say we build some big fires to get their attention.” Moric said.

“Forrest could leave a message to the person in charge, if there is a person in charge...” Aiden began

“That their god is false and that he could never conquer this village with his fake god and some more rage inducing things.” Caden finished.

“I could whip up a cocktail to go with it.” Anastasia added.

“What do you mean?” Moric questioned.

“A firebomb basically. This way he’ll feel like we could be a threat if he does not put an end to our rebellious actions.” she explained.

“Alright people, we have ourselves a plan... Forrest, I guess there’s no reason you shouldn’t leave now.* Lowe patted him on the back. Forrest left behind his hatchet, and opted only to bring a few throwing axes, a fighting knife, and a grappling hook.

He decided against opening the gate to the village to leave, he thought it’d draw to much attention himself. He instead had a few beefy men toss him over the wall, where he landed with surprising grace. He moved shrub to shrub in order to avoid any possible detection. Peeking out from behind a fallen tree, he noticed a skeleton and several zombies just wondering aimless near the bridge leading over the river. He quietly entered the river submerged himself as quickly, and silently as possible. Swimming under the cold water made his heart rate go way up, but he would just have to get it under control on dry land.

The strong river current fought against him, but soon he was on the other side of the river bank. He crawled quietly behind some large bushes, and scanned the area; it was empty besides the bodies. He began jogging off the road leading to Varrock to remain unseen. He looked at the tall imposing Varrock wall, and tried to see if he could find any silhouettes of undead guards, but from what he could tell there was no threats around. He swung the grappling hook around and around and tossed it, but it deflected it off the wall. He tried again, this time with success.

Taking one more look around, he used his strong arms to quickly pull himself to the stop of the wall. He rolled the hook back up, and continued on. He climbed down from the wall and quickly delved into the shadows as a pair of hooded men walked past, talking with each other. He quietly snuck past them and into a run down building that had a few anvils inside. He peaked out the window and noticed several men leaning on a locked Palace gate, that seemed interesting.

Sprinting from the run down building to the Varrock West Bank, he managed to go unseen or heard. From there he took note of how eerie this place seemed at night. He continued on, listening closely to all the sounds he heard. He finally existed through the back of the bank, and had the ability to either visit the abandoned Grand Exchange, or head on to a, hopefully unguarded wall to scale up.

Swinging the hook, he let it go and was surprised by the noise; instead of the “clang” you get when metal lands on something hard, it was a soft squishy noise. He shrugged and pulled to make sure the hook was in place, and then began scaling up. He reached the top and nearly fell down as he tried not to burst into laughter. The hook had been snagged on a guard’s throat, and apparently snapped his neck when he tugged the rope to make sure it was in place. The poor guy never saw it coming. He quietly took note of the pendent on the guard’s shirt, and removed it and wore it himself. He wasn’t sure if it’d actually fool anyone, but it was worth a shot.

He noticed lots of prisoners in the courtyard from his vantage point, good to know there was still people left to rescue. A strange feeling gripped him, and though he knew it would be very unintelligent to go down there and expose him to the watchful eye of the apparent guards, he felt compelled. Securing his grappling hook, he slowly descended down the wall. Most people were huddled together trying to keep warm as they slept on the cold cobblestone ground. He noticed a petite figure dressed in robes that caught his attention. He stealthily moved across the ground to it, some people began to whisper and talk about the odd person, but most noticed his pendent and assumed it was just another gang member entertaining himself.

“What do you want?” Azura sighed out, she wasn’t able to see his face in the encroaching darkness.

“Jus’ ta make sure you’s okay.” her heart pounded.

“Forrest?”

“Shhh darlin,” he peeked over his shoulder “I can’t take ya wit me right now, but just stay strong alright?” he put his hand on her shoulder “Jus’ hang in there, we’ll be comin’ back soon fer tha’ rescue.”

“Okay...” she sounded very worried, and he did*’t blame her, but he somehow doubted he’d be able to sneak her all the way out to safety by himself.

“You there!” a voice hollered from behind.

“What?” Forrest said turning around.

“Alright, I heard a noise thought the prisoners might be escapin’ or something.” the gang member turned around and left. Forrest was instantly confused; there was something like ten zombies watching over this area, why did he feel like he needed to check up on things?

“Listen though babe, who’s in charge ‘ere?” he asked her.

“From what I can tell it’s a man named Elder. He wears a hooded black jacket with armbands that have eyeballs on them, he also has this girl following him around in a short dress.”

“Alright hun, jus’ hang in there, we’ll be back as soon as we can ta getcha, and all these folk.” he made his escape back up the rope without being noticed. Azura thought back to when Ko and Anastasia had to pull her to safety when she was hanging on the rope over the ledge. She wasn’t sure if she could climb all the way up the wall, she wasn’t very strong. She sighed and thought hard. Aiden and Caden had started running when they realized they weren’t very good at it... she was going to start lifting weights when she got out of here.

“Who was that... ninja?” Johnny asked, he had woken up half way through their conversation.

“He’s a good friend of mine... apparently he’ll be back soon with help. But don’t tell anyone that please, I don’t want the guards to find out.”

“Yeah okay, I won’t.” he assured her. Good, things were looking up, a promise of a rescue had been issued. But hold on, he was a friend? So it was just a few random nut-jobs who considered themselves skillful enough to perform high risk rescue missions coming to save the day? He sighed, things could always be worse.

“Learn anything yet?” A voice ringed in his mind, it was Anastasia.

“Yea sure did,” he began to explain everything to her, as he moved swiftly towards the Blue Moon Inn.

Forrest attempted to open the worn out old door, but it was oddly locked. He looked around the streets and noticed a few items he could use. He picked up several discarded newspapers and shoved them into his supply bag, and he picked up a length of pipe. He smashed open a window with the pipe and then used a flint to light the newspaper on fire. He tossed them inside the Inn so he could make sure nothing he did*’t like was inside. He was pleased by the lack of hostile creatures. Inside he quickly located a small black lantern that hung on the wooden walls of the Inn. He lit it, and began searching for the items he would need for the firebomb.

Anastasia explained how they worked before he left the village, it shouldn’t be very difficult. He selected several of the strongest alcohols he could find, and then placed them on a table. He explored the Inn’s small kitchen and found several dry wash rags. “Too easy” he giggled to himself, as he jammed the rags into the neck of the vodka bottles. He only needed one, but he made four. Who knows, they might need them when they come back for the rescue. He searched the Inn further, and found paper, ink, and a pen behind the bar. Probably for keeping track of stock.

Now what to write, he wasn’t exactly a wordy person. “I, Chieftain Eckhard of the Barbarian Village hereby issues a challenge to the man named Elder, are you prepared for War?” he sighed, would that be a good enough note or no? He thought for several minutes, it’d be good enough. He exited the Inn from the same way he entered, but something was different. This fog had come from no where, so thick you could chop it with an axe. He jogged behind buildings and using anything he could to make sure he went unseen, and soon found himself in range of the Palace gate, that’s where he’d leave the note and chuck the bomb.
