You tell Heureush 'H...help...'
Shufei tells you 'What seems the be the matter?'

You tell Shufei 'It's coming...va...iran...'
You tell Heureush 'It's coming...va...iran...'

Heureush tells you 'Heureush on way!'
A Storm Giant guard walks in.
Shufei rides in.
Shufei sheathes his weapon.
[Volgathras] 'I rather enjoy whatever it is that plagues you, paladin.'
Shufei peers around himself intently.
Shufei looks at you.
Shufei looks at alehkzan in alarm 'Are you alright there?
A Storm Giant guard walks south.
A blanket of darkness settles in on the Square and Alehkzan hides himself under the nearby fountain rim.
Brrrrrrrrr.
Shufei's entire body shivers uncontrollably ' who goes there?
Alehkzan says timidly, 'Please...no...
Alehkzan twitches uncontrollably, 'Bernath, make it stop...' Alehkzan looks helplessly to the dragon on his shoulder.
Shufei looks at you.
Heureush rides in.
Alehkzan looks helplessly to the dragon on his shoulder.
Heureush peers around himself intently.
Alehkzan is suddenly jerked back as if pushed or pulled by some unseen force.
Your view through your helmet is clouded by your breath.
Heureush narrows his eyelids as his eyes begin to brighten.
Shufei shakes you by the shoulders 'Snap out of it.
Alehkzan cries, 'Please, hel...' His words are cut off suddenly as he finds himself unable to speka.
The Golden Banner of Val Miran flaps triumphantly in the city's glorious winds.
Shufei seemingly whispers in two separate voices ' there is nothing here.
As if he had wings, Alehkzan is tossed into the air. Bad intentions fill the Square as he is thrashed violenty from west to east by an unseen force.
Shufei looks at Heureush.
Heureush peers around himself intently.
Heureush shakes his head and says 'This bad. This very bad'
Heureush shakes his head and says 'This bad. This very bad'
Shufei looks at your body as it is thrashed from left to right 'Oh my.
Heureush sits down and thinks deeply.
Screams fill the Square as Alehkzan cries out, his helpless body suspended above the fountain.
The Golden Banner of Val Miran flaps triumphantly in the city's glorious winds.
Heureush narrows his eyes even further and takes a step towards the fountain.
Shufei yells 'UNHAND HIM YOU COWARD! WHAT HAS HE EVER DONE TO YOU!
Maddening laughter echoes from the fountain as Alehkzan is tossed into it. SPLASH
A snarl curls Heureush's lips as he watches you fall into the water.
Shufei peers around himself intently.
'THIS NOT RIGHT!' Heureush screams as he rushes to the fountain.
The laughter fades into silence and is soon gone. Alehkzan's hand can be seen on the fountain rim.
Shufei helps up you 'Are you alright?
Heureush closely scans the area as if something is still wrong.
Water dripping from his clothes and blood streaming from a gash on his forhead, Alehkzan manages to get out of the fountain with Shufei's assistance.
His armors appear to pulsate rapidly, as if speaking with Shufei ' can you speak?
Heureush glances back at Shufei and you, looing you over and wrinkling his brow.
Alehkzan manages a few words - blood trickling onto his lips. 'W...what happened?
Shufei Watching your movements, Shufei says 'Perhaps you should slow down a bit?
Alehkzan collapses onto the street. 'I don't feel so well.
Shufei continues to help you move about, 'We'd say, you had quite the tumble there.
Heureush quickly strides over to you and Shufei and looks from one to another as if confused about what to do.
Heureush throws his hands up in the air as if in anger. 'How fight when enemy can't see!'
Alehkzan rubs his stomach, his wet clothes have produced goosebumps that you can see on his forearms.
Shufei turns to Heureush 'That is a good question.
Heureush looks to Shufei as if longing for some kind of answer.
Shufei seemingly whispers in two separate voices ' a question neither of us may have an answer to.
Alehkzan weakly drinks from the bottle of milk.
You drink milk from a bottle of milk.
Heureush sighs deeply and reaches slowly for his blade. Pausing a moment, he relaxes and calms.
Shufei seemingly whispers in two separate voices ' perhaps that will help you feel better.
You tell Volgathras 'Just...just stay away! I don't need you or that locket!'
Alehkzan takes another long drink from the bottle. 'I just hope I can hold it down.
Heureush walks over to you and stops abruptly.
Heureush crosses his arms across his chest and just glares.
Ah, don't take it so hard.
[Volgathras] 'Aww, puppet! Sometimes I really must believe in fate - you bother me so terribly for that trinket, and now you wish it gone.'
Shufei looks upon his bottles 'You should be fine. It is afterall only milk.
Shufei chuckles politely.
Heureush quickly snaps a glance at Shufei, obviously put out at an enemy he can't fight.
You tell Volgathras 'I've had it destroyed, yet this curse remains! You did this! '
Heureush returns his heated gaze to you.
Alehkzan sighs audibly, 'I am sorry, whatever I've done. You both look frustrated.
[Volgathras] 'Oh? I did? Perhaps I am more powerful than even I knew, to place a curse unbeknownst to myself.'
Shufei sighs 'More helpless is the correct wording.
'Not know what do, that why Heureush mad. Know enemy around, but not be able do anything' Heureush says as he nods at Shufei.
Shufei seemingly whispers in two separate voices ' even with our abilities we were powerless to help you.
You tell Volgathras 'Bah! Trickery.'
Heureush uncrosses his arms and throws them up in the air, howling in frustration.
[Volgathras] 'What happened to that ever-present warm smile of yours, puppet? Are we getting... angry?'
You tell Volgathras 'Furious.'
Turning to the dragon on his shoulder, Alehkzan remarks, 'We'll find our way soon enough Bernath. I can feel something calling for us.'
[Volgathras] 'How delicious.'
Heureush stomps over to you and reaches down forcefully. Yet, when he grasps your arm, it seems gentle.
[Volgathras] 'Your uncle would be proud.'
Brak rides in.
Brak gallantly tips his hat to you.
Brak drinks water from a granite fountain.
His armors appear to pulsate rapidly, as if speaking with Shufei ' looks at the darkness over the horizon 'with the day gone, perhaps we shall let you sleep the rest of the night away in peace.
You tell Volgathras 'He will be once I have exterminated this vile beast of yours.'
Heureush looks up into the sky.
Brak yells out his warcry.
Brak yells 'Lytholm, bless me with your power!'
Shufei bows before Brak.
Alehkzan sighs audibly, 'I just want to do as my Uncle taught me.
Heureush nods to Brak, but keeps his focus on you.
Brak says 'This one here is a lucky fellow.'
Heureush peers around himself intently.
Brak slap alehkzan on the back.
[Volgathras] 'Quite a change in you puppet. Whatever this affliction of yours, it has had an affect.'
Heureush winces.
Shufei looks upon Brak 'Oh?
Brak says 'Drank some poison not long ago.'
Brak says 'We saved his life.'
Heureush says 'If see what Heureush and Shufei saw, might not think so though'
Brak says 'What is it?'
Shufei nods gently.
Heureush flails his arms and says 'Him fly all over
Brak says 'Oh, the thrashings.'
You twitch nervously.
Brak says 'Brak just pick him back up!'
Heureush crashes his arms down hard. 'No fly then SPLAT fountain!'
Brak says 'Steady his feet'
