Sure, that sounds like a great idea! If you like, I can get her involved in the story arc I have planned by sending enemies your way...or I'm about to add an arena setting, in case people would rather just fight without a story for now.

Meanwhile...

---

A green cloaked figure makes his way through a busy street comprising of an odd mix of medieval and modern-day looking buildings. As the space opens out, the crowds are gathering around a massive circular structure made of stone and glass, a recently built arena.

Standing at combatants' entrance, he surveys the battlegrounds, which appears to be a grey area with large hexagonal tiles and a barely visible blue force-field shimmering in the harsh sunlight around the edge, in order to protect any spectators from harm.

He enters the area, reaching to his side and taking, of all things, a large brown book with metal binding rings. The front cover is decorated with a brass phoenix pattern.

i thought about giving her her own post to show her motives and strengths. i am unsure what name to give her though. i thought christina, but it feels too obvious for me and i have no idea what other name could be fitting. anyway, time to introduce her

someplace else in the wilderness a figure can be seen crossing the desolate landscape. it is a beautiful woman dressed in a bright white hooded robe. her blonde hair pokes out of the hood, reaching down to her chest. her robe bottom is cut off at the feet and very loose fitting while the boots have thickened soles, for easier travel through the damp mort myre. her right arm holds an ivandis flail and her left arm tugs on the hood she wears, as if to hide something. around her neck is a blessed holy symbol, strung in a way that it rests on her heart when idle. her face expresses worry as she looks around. she speaks in a fair voice

woman: "He must be around here somewhere. If the rumors are true, he should be close by."

suddenly a hand reaches for her shoulder. as it touches her, she turns around in surprise. earrings, not much different in size and shape as the symbol she wears, sway in the air as she turns her head. realizing it, she quickly grabs at her hood again to hide them, seemingly not wanting to attract unwanted attention. she sees two thugs who have taken an interest in the fair priestess

thug 1: "You lost, Miss? You're a long way from home, you know."

woman: "I'm looking for someone. Leave me be."

thug 2: "That's no way to address a stranger. Give us everything of value and we'll let you live."

thug 2 tugs at the womans amulet and examines it, interested in the jewelry. the woman, distraught, pulls it back

woman: "No! I can't! I don't know what I'll do without it!"

thug 1: "Come on, it's just a little silver. You have plenty at home, right? Donate some to the less fortunate."

woman: "But this is special. The amulet's blessed. I can't afford to lose it."

thug 2: "All right, enough games!"

tbc...

the thugs grab the woman by her arms and she drops the flail as a result. one of them manage to yank the amulet from her neck and stuffs it in his pocket

woman: "No! Give it back!"

thug 1: "You had one chance. Now to figure out what to do with you."

thug 2: "Let's just kill her and be done with it."

the woman looks at thug 2 with a horrified expression

thug 1: "No, she looks wealthy. People will look for her. Let's hold her for ransom."

thug 2: "But we don't know who she is. How can we accept the ransom money?"

thug 1: "Let's just say we got a white robed woman with a staff and star shaped jewelry. They'll recognize her."

the woman desperately looks around. as there is no one in sight except a nearby skeleton, she drops her facade and breaks free, as the thugs did not think of her as much of a threat

thug 1: "What the... You wanna die, woman!?"

thug one prepares to stab her with an iron dagger, but she folds her hands together in prayer and the dagger bounces harmlessly off

woman: "Back off. I need to be left alone. Just give me my amulet back and I'll spare you."

thug 2 responds by shooting an arrow at her. she swiftly dodges it and casts a wind strike spell as a warning, the sharp wind cutting his cheek and causing it to bleed

woman: "I'm warning you. Leave now."

thug 1: "AAARGH! You are really testing our patience! We tried to be nice, now you'll wish you didn't play hero!"

thug 1 cups his hands together and attempts a downwards strike on the priestess, but she puts her hands where he is about to strike and unleashes a fire blast, horribly burning his hands. the two panic and run away, but not before tossing the holy symbol in her direction. she catches it and and puts it back on. she then hides her earrings under her hood again and picks up the flail

"I wish that didn't have to happen. Now to find him. He should be in that cave over there."

your move, duncan

With pleasure.

Wilderness Cave Entrance

As she approaches the cave’s entrance, the priestess sees a large shape moving around just underneath the shadows, making a snuffling sound. It abruptly stops, as two piercing frosty specs emerge, watching her.

The shape slinks out of the entrance, revealed to be some huge beast, like a wolf but as tall as a human. Its matted, greyish blue fur shimmers and clinks as it paces the charred wilderness ground, snarling it this new arrival. The priestess soon realizes that its fur is not matted, but frozen together into clumps. An aura of freezing mist materializes where it walks, covering the ground in frost. This thing simply emanates cold.

The creature lets out a bloodcurdling howl into the air, then charges headfirst at its target, as more howls sound in the distance.

i think i will just call the woman christina from now, though for the sake of the story the name is still unknown. the name just fits and i can think of nothing else. also, is the wolf creature related to my character in any way? just considering the similarities and so i know if i can involve him or not

the priestess lets out a shriek as the wolf charges against her. she barely dodges, but trips in her dress and falls to the ground, not yet accustomed to such close fighting. as the wolf pounces on her, she manages to knock it back with a fire blast spell and uses surge to get to a distance. growls can be heard all around her and the wolf waits, apparently for the correct moment. the priestess takes this moment to channel a fire surge. as she holds her staff up, her hair, jewelry and dress seem to float in the air as fire surrounds her. at this time, a ring of life can be seen on her finger

this might not seem like much, but i would rather not change so much when i know little about the current circumstances. rarely do i know how you think. also i think you have grasped by now that christina likes jewelry. i have written her as a somewhat feminine character

(That wasn’t the original idea, but now you mention it the appearance and behaviour are eerily similar)

The wolf creature lets out a ghastly wail, scorched by the intense blast of flames.

It flails in the air, landing in a heap with a strangled whimper and a sound like ice on a lake cracking. As it pushes itself back up, a visible burn now smeared over its already gruesome visage, its coat re-freezes itself with the same chilling noise. Its glowing blue eyes stare in blind anger and fury as the priestess charges up another spell.

The creature inhales deeply, and lets loose a furious blast of freezing air and biting chips of frost.

(also, sorry these posts are short, I will probably start writing longer, more detailed ones after a while. Hopefully)

the priestess unleashes a fire surge, but the icy wind overpowers it and cuts through her as she yelps in pain. she does not notice, but a small shard cuts the string that holds her amulet and is on the verge of falling to the ground, only held by one end getting caught in a crack in the clothing

a sharp yell can be heard across the plains, shaking the ground. the priestess sees a familiar face as i sprint into action and take a huge leap, impaling the neck of the wolf-like creature with my sword. due to my exposure to cold and protection against physical harm, the wolf is powerless against me. the ground shakes once again as i land on the ground

priestess: "Barlor!?"

me: "Christina. Never thought i would see you again. No time to catch up, however. I feel this battle has just started."

christina: "Oh, right."

me: "Get behind me. If memory serves, you were never physically strong. Seeing you die is the last thing i need."

and now you know my characters name. i named him after the fremennik name he was given ingame. your choice if the wolf survived the onslaught or not

One final shriek escapes the beast’s lungs as it crumpled to the ground.

As it dies, its body freezes through completely, encasing itself in a thick layer of dry ice and trapping its killer. However, he is unaffected by the cold and simply pulls himself free, shattering it. It seems the battle is over at first, but the two fighters know better.

Only moments later, the sound of snarling and feet hitting the ground can be heard approaching from opposite directions.

The first beast to come into view is made obvious by its fierce golden-orange glow. Wisps of flame dance on the air as it breathes, and everywhere it walks it scorches the earth black. As it takes in the view, it appears to notice the frozen corpse of its cohort, and gives out a howl that sounds like the shriek of a firework, before launching itself at Barlor.

i barely manage to dive out of the way and christina knocks it back with a hastily cast water blast

me: "Fire. Why fire?"

the wolf pounces again, but i manage to strike it up the chin, knocking it down for a while

me: "Christina, does that ring of yours work here?"

christina: "What? It took me so long to find you, and now you want me to leave you to die!?"

me: "Not precisely. I just want to ensure your safety. People will grieve should you die. Not so much with me."

christina: "Quit saying that! Your life is just as important as... Ah! The beast has awoken!"

something catches my attention, however. her chest was not as shiny as before and as i take a glimpse down, my suspicions are confirmed. she lost her amulet, though she did not notice. however i have no time to tell her as the beast strikes, nearly hitting me with its claw

me: "Keep it busy, Christina! I have a crippling weakness to fire if you remember. I'll scout instead."

as i climb the nearby hill to investigate, christina attempts to hold the beast in place with an ice barrage and soon charges up a powerful tsunami ability. however, she realizes her amulet is not floating in place like usual and gets momentarily distracted

There are no visible or audible signs of life in the surrounding area at first. As Barlor surveys the barren, shadowed landscape, however, he does spot an odd disturbance here and there. If his ears are sharp enough he may even pick up a faint crackling noise. And, could those have been eyes glinting menacingly in the darkness?

The ice from Christina’s spell encases the burning creature, but not long before it rapidly melts, dissipating with a painful whistling noise. The wolf snarls, slowed down but not stopped. It seems to limps slightly, as if greatly damaged by the spell.

Then, just as the priestess is about to deliver what could be the final blow, she hesitates. The wolf-like beast sees this and wastes no time in exploiting the opportunity. Charging wildly forward, it swoops out of the way of the delayed spell, eyes ablaze and red plasma trailing from its mouth like some infernal foam.

But instead of pouncing on Christina, the beast darts past her, instead moving toward Barlor, howling with uncontrollable rage.
