“Oh, you mean Titan?” I ask back again, “Is he your friend? And why do you need to remove him from your group?”

I do remember the halfling.  He was a good friend. Apparently we did have some misunderstanding before he left the group which is saddening.  

I’ll wait for Blake’s reply and ask him if he could accompany me to buy items after we have finished studying.

With the chaos of being lord-less, Frosthold surges in productive in the coming weeks.  Merchants egnage in unparalled trading, smiths churn out armor and weapons at an incredible rate, and the bars are absolutely packed at the end of a long day.  The Goddess's reign proves to be a great boon during the long and drawn out War of 5/8.  

Much to the surprise of everyone, the surrounding lands pass no rumors of activity to Moon.  Concerned, but cautious, she has orders the band of heroes to relax and enjoy their new home.  The surprising rest is well-deserved, offering the heroes a much needed break.

Blake and Ceres continue to pour over arcania, scouring thouands of lines of ink, unlocking the mysteries of the acrane.  By accident, the duo discover a lost tome containing a unique spell "Icy Maiden."  During the course of their study, aspiring wizards come to learn, and in short time the Ceres and Blake are teaching basic arcania to those eager to learn.

Saphire's awesome consumption abilities grow to legendary proportions after a two-week bender. Leaving many left paying the tab, the bard often waives debts for assistance in helping a drunken Vlad back to the castle.  When not foolishly trying to match Saphire's fortitude, Vlad and Jade assist in training Frosthold's ever growing military.  Between the two warriors, the soldiers learn the ways of the sword and spear, becomming a mighty arm of the Queen Goddess.  A melee approach is not always wise and under the tutilidge of Winterfate, the army's archers begin to destroy several poor straw dummies.  Between the three heroes, the army becomes force capable of engaging the fearsome army.  

But military might doesn't always win wars.  Sometimes a little guile is needed to level the battlefield.  During the break, Elvin and Mitsu set about creaitng a series of deadly traps around the castle, each more terrible than the last.  Fire, poison, electrical, and holy traps patinetly lay in wait for those eager to defy the Queen.

"Through the efforts of your majesty, the heroes, and the citizens, Frosthold has become a great bastion.  " Onyx states to Moon.  The two, a handful of advisors, and Azagal sit around a wooden table in a large room.

"I'm amazed at how much the city has grown in three months" says one of the advisors.  

"It is quite the feat.  If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would not believe such a thing possible during these times." Onyx replies with a faint, almost non-existent, smile on his face.  His time spent as the Queen's chief advisor has softened him a bit.    

"I'm very pleased with the developments.  Thanks to the efforts of our friends, the military is strong, the economy is rich, and education is flourshing." Moon says with a pleased look on her face.  "I've also noticed that a druid grove has sprung up within our city.  And surely you've seen the temples?"

The chief advisor smiles.  "Indeed I have.  Those two would be happy to know that Lath-"

"I DEMAND TO SPEAK WITH THIS SO-CALLED QUEEN!" shouts a man leading a gang of well-armed men as they march through the doors of the room.  They stop short of Moon's table.  "So this is the usurper?!" asks one indignently.

"And who exactly are you?" demands Moon in a frigid voice.  

"I'm Rolf of the King's Protectors.  Your cronie usurped the king's throne so you could steal it.  And- AZAGAL!  HOW DARE YOU SIT WITH THIS FALSE QUEEN!!!  IT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR FAILURE THE KING IS DEAD!!!"  The man is seething with rage as he pulls a sword on Azagal.  The other men pull blades as well, much to the shagrin of Moon and the annoyance of Onyx.

"ENOUGH!" Azagal shouts even though he does not move as the tip of Rolfs sword is unpleasantly close to his Adams apple.

Azagal: "I must say I had thought to see you much earlier."

Seeing how Rolf can barely contain himself he quickly goes on before Rolf decide to let his sword wander closer to his throat

"Now now Rolf while I'm sure Richard has ordered you to take care of the situation I'm also convinced that he has t you better than to behave like this. Let's forget you for a second. You wouldn't give an very good impression of Richard if you would go on like this now would you? Ever thought of that? Naaaah didn't think so. Bu..."

Rolf: "SHUT UP!! I SHALL DEAL WITH THIS SITUATION AS I PLEASE. I ..."

...shhhhit... what do I do now? I knew that they would show themselves sooner or later and that they would send someone to kill me but why WHY of all the personal protégés of the council of 9 would it have to be ROLF? Well I guess that the mean old man with the weird tattoos and the nice god queen could handle these guys easily but afterall this is my mess. Ha maybe this is my chance to show what I'm worth
He smiles .
Oooor to die a painful and most agonising death at the hands of Rolf the king or torment
His smile faints and goes from unhappy to the impression of an impending-painful-death .
He takes a quick look around. The others look at Rolf who stills goes on about how worthless Azagal is, that he will pay for his failure and that he has been a disgrace to the Order of Frosthold. The tension seems to be building up in the room and it wouldn’t be good for the situation to escalate.

Uh-oh. I better do something before this gets out of hand

Azagal: "Well Rolf I you have quiet finished I would also like to say a few words. Rolf excuse meee..."

He slowly places his fingers on the edge of Rolfs blade and gradually pushes it away from his Adams apple. A tiny drop of blood runs down his throat.

"Moon and Onyx I assure you that this will end in a civilized manner"
He gives them a quick smile but there is a hint of nervousity in Azagals face.
The smile disappears from Azagals face and is replaced by a dead serious expression. Even though they haven't known Azagal for long they saw that this wasn't typical of him.
When Azagal addressed the others, all the lightness and former easygoingness of his voice was gone.
"When we first met I explained to you and the others that I was in the cell because I had failed my Organisation. As I said the consequences for my action would be my death."

Rolfs eyes suddenly glow from eagerness. His mouth slowly begins to form a smile and he seems to calm down thriving upon the thought that he would be the one to kill this filth, avenging his Order. He starts to muster Azagal with a gaze which is filled with arrogance. No this dirt wouldn't stand a chance against him, he thinks. Seemingly amused he goes a few steps back and lowers his sword. He wanted to hear what the pity excuse of an extemplar had to say for himself.

"Since you freed me I got the chance to escape the influence of the Order for a moment. But you can't escape their judgement... not as a traitor."

Rolfs smile gets even wider.

"So they have sent an assassin. Rolf however isn't what you would call an assassin he is much more. As I already mention when you freed me, the Order of Frosthold is lead by the Order of 9. These leaders have their personally trainees who they select from the Templars. Richard is one of the leaders and Rolf is his personal student.
I am sorry that it has come this far and that you have been disturbed."
He bows a bit in the direction of Moon and Onyx. He then turns his back against them and  looks straight-faced at Rolf.

"Now I would be happy if you would give me the opportunity to settle this myself."

He takes of his shirt and fine black lines begin to form mysterious patterns on his body. His eyes turn entirely black. With a cold and sad voice he addresses the group.

"Please whatever happens do not interfere... So Rolf... I'm all yours"

Rolf laughs heartily.

So we come to this again... This time it shall end differently.

"THIS COMPANY, IS AT THE POSITION OF ATTENTION!" I shout as I storm down the front rank of the current batch of soldiers that I'm training.

I stop in front of one man and order, "Your blade, soldier." I give a brief inspection of the rusty sword before handing it back and barking, "The only person that is going to die by this blade is you!"

Moving on, I observe another warrior who's arrow quiver is hanging loosely from his shoulder. "Tighten that thing up! A zombie could snort that off your shoulder!"

Finally, I come upon someone who is not wearing his helmet. "There's no helmet on your head, warrior. Is that because there's nothing worth protecting in there?"

I then address the whole unit, "Due in thanks to your fellow warriors, your day off is hereby canceled. Now report to the main gate. We are going to double time our way around the outer walls. Now MOVE!"

"End differently whelp?" mocks Rolf as he watches the black-eyed warrior strike at him.  He deftly dodges Azagal's lunge and with a flick of his blade, carefully removes the young man's right forearm at the elbow.  A mighty kick sends the warrior reeling back.  Rolf's eyes glow omniously as he watches the crimson steaking from the protector's limb.  

Rolf chastises the young man as Moon, Onyx, and the members of the order watch on, silently abiding by Azagal's wishes.  "You never quite got it did you?  Maybe if you had, your end would have been far less embarassing."

Agony rocks Azagal's body as he unconsciouly grabs for his missing limb, resisting every urge to pass out from the excruiating pain.  

"This shouldn't be a problem.  Go.  Find the other so-called heroes and kill them off." Rolf orders.  The members of the order nod, and vanish in a poof of smoke; odors of sulfer and brimstone fill the room as they depart.  

"Onyx" Moon starts.

"I'm on it" he replies as he rushes to the aid of the young protector.  

"Who are you?" demands Moon.  "Who wishes to die before the goddess Moon?!"

"YOUR DEATH!" replies Rolf.  The man begins to groan as he grabs his sides.  Two large bat wings shoot out from his back and his skin begins to peel off, revealing a dark red complexion.  His face twists and turns.  Gone are the nose, eyes, ears, and mouth of a normal human.  In their place, a demonic visage; fangs, horns, and burning eyes that gaze angirly at the queen.

====================================================================

The soldiers, unused to a captain, appear apprehensive yet appreciative of their new commander.  Knowing better to disobey the warrior, they head off for the castle walls on yet another march.  Jade enters as the soldiers depart, smiling faintly at Vlad.

"At least they are making prog-GET IN LINE MAGGOT!!!" she shouts to a soldier resting up against the castle wall.

"Nope.  I'm good here" replies the soldier nonchalantly.

Jade's contorts with ire as she approaches the standing dead-man.  "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO, WORM?!"

"A name on a list."  Like lightning, the soldier backhands Jade, sending her flying through the air.  Her destination:  the roof of the tavern.  After interrupting the young ranger's archery sessions, Fate discovers a crowd forming around the bar.  Inside, lies a badly injured Jade.

The soldier then turns his attention to Vlad.  "Are you going to yell at me too?" he mocks as he slowly advances.

==================================================================

With the last of the traps in place, Elvin and Mitsu celebrate by taking a quick break in the middle of the killing fields outside of the castle.  An electric conflagaration of holy energies would tear apart anybody stupid enough to come remotely close to the city.  Or so the two thought.   As they sit there, one of the traps suddenly springs, spewing fire balls in ten different directions.  After diving to avoid the blast, the two don't notice anybody.  

CRACK.

One of the elecric traps springs, sending arcs of lightning flying through the air.  Miraculously, the two escape being torn to shreads by the electric mayham.  

Nobody can be seen, but a voice can be heard.

"HAHAHAHAHA!  You can't see me!" bellows a demonic sounding voice.  "How fitting you two rigged this field with all kinds of killing devices, seeing as how this will be your grave!"

=====================================================================

"Ah, so that's how it's done!" a young apprentice excitedly utters.  After days of practicing a simple incantation, the relatively dim-witted man is able to grasp the basic of casting a simple identify spell.

As the man boasts about his accomplishment, the rest of the class continues about its business.  Talk of theories and magical experiments of all kind fill the room, wrapping it in a blanket of arcania.  Blake and Ceres's tutilidge of the magically inclined has sparked a new interest in the citizens of Frosthold, providing the classroom with thirty students.  

"Did you see that?  I totally identified that object!" boasts the man to a couple of uninterested ladies.  "Even though it looked like a bottle, I couldn't be sure.  I was like 'hey, is this really a simple potion bottle or is it really an ancient Dwarven cage designed to hold demons'?  So what I started to chant this spell and-"

"Oh, I'm sorry" replies one of the women.  "Don't let me stop you from finding someone who's interested in your trivial accomplishments.  The rest of the women snicker.

The young man continues. "And I uh... decided that I would, uh..." he seems in a daze "kill every last one of you."  

The girls continue to laugh.  "What was that loser?" is the last thing the snooty woman asks as negative energies wither the woman's body.  The young man smiles evily as the class grows completely silent. Blake and Ceres immediately turn thier attention to the student.

"Uh oh.  I hope the teachers don't get mad at me" he snickers.

I go to the tavern to find out exactly how battered up Jade is.

I look at Jade and ask:

"What happened to you? Are you ok?"

I chastise myself for asking a question with such an obvious answer.

Afterwards, I cast Cure Critical Wounds on her. ((if I can't, then the most powerful Cure X Wounds spells I can cast.))

Without budging or taking my eyes off this guy I tell a nearby recruit, "get a healer to Jade. GO."

Returning my full attention to this guy I draw my weapon and answer, "Well now that you mention it, I am going to yell at you, I'm going to keep ******* yelling at you, and when you're dead and buried, I'll still be ******* yelling at your rancid carcass. I mean, where do you get the ******* rocks to interrupt us like that? Don't answer, I already know you don't have any. And furthermore..."

I continue the verbal assault as long as the situation allows. The reality is, I've got my physical response at the ready. Intercept an attack with the blade, shift, and tear out his throat with my canines as close to all at once as I can manage.

"No!NOOO!! How...RRRRGH"
The pain seemed inbearable to the young figther. During his training he had experienced his fair share of pain but never anything quite like this. Panic started to rise in his chest.
"NOOO!I CAN'T DIE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!No no NO!"
Azagal did his best to defend himself while Rolf chastised him but his pathetic struggles only made him look more helpless than he already was.
Ngghhh...He breathed heavily Pull yourself together... you worthless idiot!!... This is not how you want to die is it?!
It was hard to tell what was worse the excruciating pain or being at the whim of Rolf humiliated in front of his friends, former Brothers and the people that had helped him so much. The pain blurred his senses, his vision was unfocused.
Heehe...looks like it was going to be "a painful and most agonising death at the hands of Rolf the king or torment"...Haahaha... I'm sorry I let you down like this.
He smiled a faint smile... a tear was running down his check.

<<"Onyx" Moon starts.

Mitsu pulls Elvin close, and casts Wall of Force surrounding them.  She knew it would take a bit for the enemy to take the wall down.  Focusing she created a small earthquake, which would trigger the rest of the traps around them, nullifying that particular problem.  Once the traps stopped going off, she casts a sight spell and drops the wall.

I run towards the stale victim gazing at her with awe and confusion.  I wonder how one of my students can have done this to his fellow since me and Blake are very cautious in teaching them, always applying safety and most of all promoting respect to each others.  

“Have I done something wrong?” I whisper, thinking about the matter and close to blaming myself thinking that I might have taught something not right or I have missed teaching something important. But I don’t want to close it right there I know there’s something more, something deeper.

At first it looks like an accident for me, but after a very short moment of observation and pondering it doesn’t appear to be.  I ask those who are close at the scene to bring the emaciated woman to a nearest healer immediately and seek aid.  Then I motion the others remaining to leave the room silent but fast.  

“My dear student,” I say softly as I put my gaze on the guilty apprentice eyeing him suspiciously, “It appears that you know more than what you have already shown.”

I will cast Bigby-G, if the man starts to gesture unkindly.

"It was either that or allow him to use our traps against us." Mitsu feels confident with Elvin at her back.  The two of them are much stronger as a team.  No mere demon will be able to take them.

I walk over, and stand next to Ceres. I am cautious of the man, continually ready to attempt to counter any further magic he decides to cast. Something seems strange here, and I don’t trust anything he would do. He doesn’t even seem as he did before.

“Who are you? What do you think it is that you are doing?”

I still stay ready to attempt to counter any spells cast. If I can’t counter a spell being cast, I will cast Bestow Curse upon him, lowering his Attack Bonus, Saves, Skills, and ability checks.

"DEMONS!!!  DEMONS!!!  RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!" screams a rather portly fellow as he runs past the grand doors.  Cries of terror can be heard coming from the main hall of the castle.  Another demon has made its way into the great hall.  

A buzz of energy hums through Azagal's body as a violet rune is drawn on to the stump of his arm.  The wound is instantly cauterized.  A hand tugs at Azagal and lifts him to his feet.  

"If you have a time to cry, you have time to fight.  Right now, there are people being attacked by a demon.  You have sworn to defend the Queen and her kingdom, haven't you?"  Asks Onyx as he drags the young protector out the doors where Moon and the Demon were fighting.  A streak of lightning zips past his head, yet he doesn't flinch.  

"We'll just let those two fight it out for now."  He relaxes his grip.  "Now, as I was saying, we have some fighting to do, so stop crying about your arm.  We'll deal with that problem later."

As the two enter the main room, a bulky demon is flying around the room, maliciously slashing and striking everybody he can.  

"HOHOHOHOHO!!!  I haven't had this much fun in ages" the demon says as he bites the head off of a poor woman trying to protect her kids.  "Mmmm... meaty."  He drops the headless corpse to the ground with a sickening splat as the children are paralyzed by the horror of what they have witnessed.  The demon fixes his eyes on the dessert.

"I love kiddie food!"

He swoops for his prey.  "HOHOH-RWAR!!!" The demon sreams as his balance is destroyed by Onyx's polar ray, sending him crashing into the wall.  With a mighty red arm, he picks himself up and glares at the rune master and protector.

=====================================================================

"Can you be quiet?  You're disrupting my pace" aks the solider quietly as he counts the vains popping out of Vlad's neck.  Without warning, his arm flails out, catching the warrior completely off guard.

Or so he thought.

Prepared for such a cheap attack, Vlad counters with a heavy slash across the soldier's body.  Bile and blood paint paint a macabe desing against the wall he was leaning on.    

"Urrgh...I guess this isn't going to be as easy as you thought" the solider smiles as he delivers a kick to Vlad's ribs.

Again, the attack is parried and met with a fearsome riptose.  A bloody "X" adorns the surprised soldiers armor.  

"N-no.. You...you can't be h-human" he moans, staggering against the wall.  But he doesn't appear to be in any pain.  He smiles.  

"Good."

The solider's body begins to bulge as muscles start rippling through his now-black skin.  Three massive horns pop out of his head and several spikes appear on his shoulders and forearms.  His fingers fuse together, leaving him with two large phalanges on both hands; long claws portrude from the ends.  

"I've shown you mine, mock-human, now why don't you show me yours?"

As the two monsters face eachother, Jade remains unconscious despite the aid Fate's given her.  From the looks of things, she won't be getting up for awhile.  Shady begins to bark at the ominous black figure standing before Vlad.  

===================================================================
 
The wall's shimmering protection offers little comfort from the invisible fiend's taunting.  

"Oooo... Interesting.  I bet it's going to take quite a bit to damage that wall.  Quite a bit indeed."

The dozen or so fire traps in the field start to rise off the ground.  Hovering in the air, a feeling of dread washes over the two as they realize what is about to happen.

"FIRE!!!" shouts the fiend as the traps fly into the wall of force.  The protective energies begin to fluxuate wildly as the conflagaration ignites the area.  After an intense moment, the flames die down and the wall shatters.  Smoke fills the air.  A very faint outline can be seen hovering around the field.

"A waste of some great traps, don't you think?  Hmm... Acid or Lightning.  Which to finish you off with?"

=====================================================================

The apprentice stares blankly at the instructors before snapping to attention.  He panics as he sees they are prepared to hurl magical arcania at him.  

"Wha-What are you doing?!  What's going on?!"  Fear fills his voice as he starts trembling.  "I-I haven't done anything wrong!!!"  The man seems completely oblivious to what he has done.  He looks down to find a corpse at his feet.

"WHAT?  WHAT HAPPENED???!!!" Beads of sweat drip down his face as he looks at the corpse.

"Why, you murdered that poor young girl there" says an older student, as she points her wand at him in an accusing fashion. "And murderers must be punished!"

The apprentice's eyes light up as he spews blood from his mouth.  A smoldering hole rests comfortably in his stomach; experty carved out by the woman's lightning bolt.  The apprentice collapses to the ground, dead.  

"You certainly have some naughty students.  I think they need some detention."  The woman smiles as the doors and the windows of the room are magically sealed shut.  The twenty-some students left in the room start to panic.

I look over at the battle scene, and then look back at Jade.

"Darn, I hate to leave you here in this state, but Vlad needs my help."

I call Shady to my side as I stand up and take aim with my bow, using a magical arrow for my shot. ((Do I have any left?  It's been a while since I've had to use one of those.))

I aim a Called Shot at the demon's leg, since that's the spot that seems least...spiky and also in the hopes of giving Vlad a tactical advantage in his struggle.

Only a few things could breach a wall of force.  Still she will need to lower it before engaging the enemy.  First thing first.  Ways of harming the demon.  She knows mundane weapons are unlikely to harm it.  "It will take a bit for him to get past the wall, especially if he relies on the traps.  Unfortunately the wall won't move with us. You have two options hun.  I can call you one of these or cast a modified flame sword on yours that can be either ice or lightning.  Your call."

Whichever he decides she casts then warns.  "From here on out it will be steel on demonic powers.  Want to conserve my strength, don't think this thing is the major threat."

Despite my shifting, I keep up the barrage of words. If nothing else, it'll keep his attention from that arrow that Fate's about to let fly. "What? You don't give orders around here. You've got less authority than a one-legged goat! And now that you've shown yourself, I'm now completely certain as to who you are and where you came from. You're the repulsive biproduct of a horrible turdsmith's mistake! That explains the open latrine smell around here. Oh, so that was your plan. After we killed you, we were going to die of exhaustion trying to dispose of your putrid corpse! Diablolical."

If the arrow accomplishes what I hope it does, I'll launch the follow-up attack.

A buzz of energy hums through Azagal's body as a violet rune is drawn on to the stump of his arm.  The wound is instantly cauterized.  A hand tugs at Azagal and lifts him to his feet.
Just when Azagal thougth he couldn't take it much longer the pain
suddenly stops and his vision slowly refocused. He felt a hand lifting him to his feet. He was a bit unsure on his feet after having lost blood then he heared Onyx talking to him.  

"If you have a time to cry, you have time to fight."

"Crying who's crying?"
He replied with a grim smile while he tried to wipe the tear of his face with his lost arm. When he was hitting his head with a stump he first realised that his arm had suddenly healed. Before he could even react to this surprise a streak of lightning was flying towards Onyx head. He wanted to do something about it like pulling him down or something but his reaction were still slowed down by the agony and the bloodlos from before. The lightning bolt ziped past Onyx head without him even flinching.
Azagals stares at him in disbelief... "Didn't he see that thing?! F@%&# that almost got him and didn't even freakin blink?!"

"We'll just let those two fight it out for now."  

Still not able to speak due to his overhelmedness he justs nods lively. To think that I wanted to fight a guy the godess is fighting... how the hell did I manage to survive? Oh right... I didn't he more or less was just playing with me...
Azagal was disapointed in his own strength and didn't know whether to laugh or be angry at himself for even thinking he could have had a chance against Rolf...
Well what's done is done and now stop feeling bad for yourself!!
He couldn't help looking at the bit of arm he had left with a feeling of sadness though...It seems as if Onyx had noticed the expression on his face.

"Now, as I was saying, we have some fighting to do, so stop crying about your arm.  We'll deal with that problem later."

Azagal noded again but this time with a grim smile.
Heehe... well atleast I'm with him so I guess my situation is not as worse as it could be... I hope the others are alright.

<<As the two enter the main room, a bulky demon is flying around the room, maliciously slashing and striking everybody he can.  
"HOHOHOHOHO!!!  I haven't had this much fun in ages" the demon says as he bites the head off of a poor woman trying to protect her kids.  "Mmmm... meaty." >>

Paralized by the horror of the scene he just saw Azagal stops running. Lord no... this can't be hapening!! Helplessly he just watches as the Demon swoops down for the children.

<<"HOHOH-RWAR!!!" The demon sreams as his balance is destroyed by Onyx's polar ray, sending him crashing into the wall.  With a mighty red arm, he picks himself up and glares at the rune master and protector.>>

Seeing Onyx fighting Azagal immedialty snaps out of his shock, eventhough he is still shacking a bit. ...This is bad...

Azagal will first try to get the children to safety incase the Demon has not lost interest in them over Onyx and him. If the Demon does not show any attempt to harm the children Azagal will try to get into melee contact with the demon, not in order to attack it but in order to keep it's attention focused on him in order to give Onyx time he needs to prepare whatever spell he has. He doesn't know what Onyx can do but he knows that Onyx is the far more powerful than he is and though will be able to do far greater damage on the demon.

"Great, gimme the icy one. If he's not the main threat then we'll play with it for a while, oh any chance you have protection spells?"
I lean to Mitsu's ear to whisper.
"My aim may be a bit off, a vague outline does not help. We should split  so as to fight him each from a different direction."

Mitsu casts a modified Fire Sword to give the weapon a icy element, then grins.  "Not that would do much good right now. I'll see you soon." with that she drops the shield and whichever way he goes she goes the opposit. Either way the creature goes, with him or with her, she is prepaired for.  She hopes it isn't prepaired for it quite as well.
