Roykagh Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Bernud scans north. Bernud rides north. You follow Bernud. The Council of the Shadows [Exits: south] A black stone table is sitting here. A torch is set into the wall here. Bernud is here, sitting astride a white stallion. Bernud closes the carved wooden door south of you. The Council of the Shadows You stand within the Council of the Shadows. A dark black table is set in the room here, and you see strange and unholy runes carved into the walls around you. Several small torchiers burn here, unendingly, and the room is filled with an almost hallowed stillness, as if something deadly were being planned here. You feel all at once at unease. [Exits: (south)] A black stone table is sitting here. A torch is set into the wall here. Bernud is here, sitting astride a white stallion. Bernud sits down and rests. The table is made of black stone. Within it, are carved runes of undeath. You dismount from a white stallion. You rest. The sound of hushed voices fill your ears. Bernud adjusts the torch so that the light displays across the table. You rub your hands together in greedy anticipation. Bernud brings out a set of weathered cards, most of which seem to be very ancient. Bernud shuffles the cards rapidly, he cackles, 'So you want your fortune eh?' Rineslorbel peers at the cards with doubt, and perhaps a hint of interest. You say 'I suppose.' Bernud cackles to himself. You nod. Bernud places the deck of cards on the right hand side of the table. You say 'Show me what you have.' Bernud slowly draws a card... Bernud draws a tarot card and reveals [ Fool ] to you. A burden has been placed upon you... af You are affected by the following: Tarot: [ Fool ] : for 24 hours : modifies dex by -2 for 24 hours Spell: protection : modifies savingspell by -1 for 8 hours Spell: detect invis : for 9 hours Spell: detect good : for 9 hours Spell: mounted : for 104 hours You snort derisively. Bernud examines the card closely. You say 'Are you sure you did it right?' Grrrrrrrrrr... Bernud cackles, 'Your destiny is that of the fool.' You stand up. You glare icily at him. Bernud continues cackling, 'Watch your path young one.' Bernud throws back his head and cackles with insane glee! You say 'I should...' Rineslorbel stills his anger. You rest. You are affected by the following: Tarot: [ Fool ] : for 22 hours : modifies dex by -2 for 22 hours Spell: protection : modifies savingspell by -1 for 6 hours Spell: detect invis : for 7 hours Spell: detect good : for 7 hours Spell: mounted : for 102 hours Bernud says 'There might be much you will regret.' Bernud throws back his head and cackles with insane glee! You ponder the question. A human of an ordinary size holds a pan pipe. His face is emotionless and his red lips are set in a grim line. His thin grey hair strays across his face. His complexion is pale, yet seems to be quite alive. His blue eyes gleam a brilliant light and reflect their splender upon you. His neck is encircled by a red string of unknown material. It appears to be moving and writhing around his neck. A black shirt covers his slender body and seems torn in some places. A silver plate gleams underneath both sleeves upon his shoulders. Red inscrred inscriptions are etched in them, a foreboding sense surrounds them. His intricately thin fingers wrap around the pipe. He wields in his left hand a sword writhing with black fury. A belt of a crimson color is interlaced with the skin of his waist. A skull of the head of a rat is used as a belt buckle. Scales, as black as onyx, and as brilliant as the night sky protects the limbs of the human. Finally, as the scales lead towards his feet, they end in pointed cloth tipped with golden bells. He has travelled quite a lot. Bernud is in excellent condition. Bernud is using: (Glowing) a blood candle an onyx ring an onyx ring (Glowing) a rusted medallion (Humming) a Humanskin Cloak a white king's head-dress (Humming) an onyx earring a steel breast plate some mithril sleeves a pair of minotaur combat gloves some chimera scale leggings blue scalemail boots a thick animal hide a blue scalemail girth (Humming) a titanium bracer a gleaming steel bracer holy Avenger (Humming) a venom tipped blade the High Guardian's facemask an ashen shortbow You stand up.

(White Aura) A dark-knight mercenary wanders around the streets here. Bernud throws back his head and cackles with insane glee! Bernud says 'I hope you aren't planning on changing destiny.' Bernud utters the words, 'oculoinfra uizug'. Bernud stops using a venom tipped blade. Bernud stops using holy Avenger. Bernud wields a silver flute. Rineslorbel turns to face Bernud again. Bernud strikes a sweet melody on a silver flute. Bernud prepares to sing 'Battle Hymn'. Bernud sings 'You stand ready on your feet,' Bernud sings 'Marching rhythmly to the beat.' Bernud sings 'The sounds of battle fill your ears,' Bernud sings 'Fuels the fire to drown your fears.' Bernud sings 'Rushing foward to your crusade,' Bernud sings 'Longing for their blood on your blade.' You feel your heart beating faster to the rhythm of battle! Bernud looks more ready to do battle.

A Small Alleyway Small candles light a cobblestone pathway that leads down to the end of the cul-de-sac. In the distance looms a large mansion, dark and foreboding. Dark shadows can be seen flying above the mansion, circling in the dark haze above, but you are too far away to discern their physical form. You notice that the familiar sounds of the streets of Miruvhor have died down, and the usual riff-raff that clog its streets are not present.

You stop following Bernud. Bernud opens the fence north of you. Bernud says 'There you go.' You nod. Bernud says 'May uncertainties lead your path.' Bernud throws back his head and cackles with insane glee! Rineslorbel actually chuckles a bit. Bernud examines his shoes for a moment. You say 'Yes, I have never believed in cards, and I don't think I ever will.' Bernud throws back his head and cackles with insane glee! You say 'This only proved me right.' Bernud says 'There are many things you don't believe in Rineslorbel.' Bernud throws back his head and cackles with insane glee! You grumble distractedly to yourself. The sound of hushed voices fill your ears. You say 'Perhaps you think too high of yourself, bard.' Bernud cackles and points at your chest, 'I'll be watching you.' -And then he is gone- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
