Back in Baltazars chambers...

Baltazars had observed every battle with intrest learning the moves, strategies and spells off all his unprobable oponents.

Baltazar: Lets see...the gate to my tower is sealed and my army wont brake in any time soon...the garrison I had inside the tower is almost finished that beast Fluffy and a few small bands are are I have left wondering the tower. Mmm, that Alcove betrayed me...I can sense the bracelet no longer, how dare she defy me!! I shall deal with her later...I have more important things to care about right now.

Baltazar moved to the middle of the chamber and comenced a summoning spell, the chanting grew stronger and stronger with each passing seccond until it abruptly stoped. Then he proceded to make a cut on his hand, he presed on the wound and released some blood of his own on the floor around him. As the blood touched the ground it started bubbling and expanding.

Baltazar: ...These pitfull warriors think they are good fighters lets see what they can do against my creations.

The blood soon started to evaporate into four separate figures, as the vapor gained form a humanoid figure was assembling. When all of it concluded four tall undead were standing around Baltazar...they were Lich Lords, masters of the nether, Commanders of the undead legions. The four tormented undead stared blankly at Baltazar.

IMAGE(lich0000.jpg)

Baltazar muttered a few words in some unknown long forgotten laguage as he concluded the Lich Lords walked out of the door and down to meet the Rebels who dared to walk into the upper levels of the tower. Baltazat laughed.

The most magical of all of the necromantic forms, Liches have an innate ability to cast deadly spells and cause immense damage to their opponents. Although Liches are not physically strong, their extensive command of the magical sphere makes them deadly forces in combat. The right choice for Baltazars situation.

(Siris time: 7:OOPM)

OOC: If you encounter any Lich you may not slay it in less than four posts. I will also command them every now and then, so be weary by taking your character too far away from the rest of the group...hehe.

OOC: This is getting good.

IC:

Kel-Aziz finnaly made it to the battle, thanks to his beggar looks he was not a target for many of Baltazars men, wich realy made things easier for him as he dispached enemy soldiers who were unaware of his precense or simply ignored him. He finnaly made it to Molek, who was waving his massive broadsword through the guts of enemy guards.

Molek: Kel-Aziz!! I am glad you made it,...(slash,...bash)...I thought you were dead...(clang,...crunch)...

Kel-Aziz: Dont underestimate my abilities...(slish,...swack)...I know more about combat than what I may apear to.

Suddenly a violent explosion shaked the hole tower. Many men in mid combat, fell on their backs and lost their fighting positons.

Kel-Aziz: I thought is was just one explosion to make the entrance...

Molek: That explosion was not made by my men...

As they thought about what was happening in the upper levels another unexpected even ocurred. Right in the middle of the battlefield a huge wolf like creature teleported in, inmediatly tearing a rebel soldier appart and to the surprise of all tearing one of Baltazars guards.

Molek: What in Siris name is that!!
Kel-Aziz: I would say its a Werewolf, but its just too big...I have seen none of such a size...maybe...maybe it has been magicaly enchanted.
Molek: Then he is no rival for our men.
Kel-Aziz: Let me handle this...
Molek: You are aware that this beast is not a skeleton.
Kel-Aziz: Trust me on this warrior.

Having said that, Kel-Aziz inmediatly charged the huge beast, twin waveblades aside. What apeared to be a foolish frontal attack changed abruptly into a smart move. The huge beast waved its sharp claws around with great speed, more than what Kel-Aziz had initialy calculated. The claws managed to tear through some of Kel-Aziz already shreaded cloak as he swiftly passed right besides the creature, not without dealing a blow of his own.

The creature roared in fury more than pain, as Kel-Aziz noticed it felt no pain by the cut it received on his left leg. It inmediatly turned towards Kel-Aziz, eyes fiery red, and made a charge of his own.

Kel-Aziz smiled as his move had worked out perfectly. He inmediatly stood and began running right through the remains of Baltazars forces with an increadibe ease and speed, more than enough to avoid any of the grunts blades.

The Wolf creature roared in fury as it comenced his own run towards Kel-Aziz, but unlike Kel-Aziz, the beast slashed and cut through his way, tearing the remains of Baltazars men as he went. The rebel soldiers who were watching this bloody spectacle from a safe distance were surprised and horrified at Kel-Aziz agility and the Werewolfs brutality.

As Kel-Aziz almost flied past the enemy force he could not help but remember one of his lesson in youth, when training for a coup in the Darubian War Academy.

Kel-Aziz: (to himslelf)...Lesson number three of the Darubian Combat Code: "Nothing is more dangerous than an attack in disharmony with the mind."

OOC: I will decide when we get to that final chapter. First we must fight Mancire and many of Baltazars hunchmen that are waiting up the tower. I also want to see a cool battle between Fluffy and Eve, feline vs canine, that should be fun to watch (if they are ok with that, that is).

At the top of the tower...

Baltazar: (looking into a crystal sphere) Those foolish rebels, do they realy think they will make it, to the top. I have many surprises left in the upper floors for them...HAHAHAHAHAHA...BWAHAHAHA!!!!

Somewhere in the middle levels of the tower...

Arcadia noded at Delgars suggestion of summoning more aid and inmediatly started chanting yet another spell. As she concluded with the casting a bright flame erupted both on her left and right side, when the flames had disipated two huge muscled demons stared Arcadia waiting for her commands.

Arcadia: (smiling) Is that what you suggested Delgar?

Back at the tunnel, near the exit...

Kel-Aziz had walked long enough in darkness, avoiding the piercing eyes that stared through the intersections with other natural tunnels and caves leading to unknown realms.

He was only guided by the echoes of war ahead and the faint breeze of air that travelled through the tunnel, just as he was tought in his training days...days lost in his memory and the memory of history.

When after a few miles of walk in total darkness a sudden ray of light touched his skin, he gained back his strength, as if blessed by the fresh air and the ilumination of the lower levels of the tower. True, it was still a horrible dungeon, but after the tunnel anything would be be better.

He watched from afar as the battle developed favouring the rebels.

OOC: Chinchilla, please reed it all. Its not as much as it looks like, just take away the rantings and non-productve OOC´s and you will see it reduced almost by half. Besides it is a RP, its suposed to be fun.

IC:

Kel-Aziz made one final swing in total darkness as the last cracking of bones was heard in the tunnel. He had fought the last bunch with no ilumination at all, since all torches were long consumed by fire, he was only guided by the sound and wind waves made by the skeletons. It reminded him of his Royal Guard training at the Mel-Zebub caves.

He had received more than a few blows but none strong enough to damage the armour he was wearing under all his raggs.

As Kel-Aziz looked back at the darkness and slowly walked towards the tower, he could not help thinking on all the remaining battles ahead. Even where he was standing, some place near the end of the tunnel, the battle echoes could be heard quite clearly.

OOC: Good job people, keep up the good RP. Arancaytar, Kel-Aziz is not in the tower he is still fighting at the tunnel with the remaining skeletons. As for Baltazar, no player will fight him untill the last chapter.

IC:
...back at the tunnel...

Kel-Aziz was in total concentration, he had not made such a fight against so many foes in a long...long time. The skeletons bones started piling up around his position as the mindless creatures aproached Kel-Aziz a former Darubian Royal Guard with no tecnical combat strategy whatsoever. They where sitting duks for the twin blessed waveblades and the great speed of Kel-Aziz, not to mention his ability. He was about to strike into the last bunch when a huge explosion made the very tunnel tremble. Kel-Aziz smiled for he knew they had made it to the tunnel.

Kel-Aziz: Good job, keep up with the good work, I will be with you in no time.

With that said Kel-Aziz dashed with incredible speed to the last group of skeleton warriors.

OOC: It is to mine, thank you.

IC: Kel-Aziz watched as Eferas slowly pulled back, wondering if to attack or wait behind the troops.

Kel-Aziz: Eferas, do not wory, have some rest. Let us deal with these creatures.

Kel-Aziz then noticed most of the party was not moving anymore, as they where tired to engage in yet another fight and the Rebels where also moving in quite a clumsy way to meet their undead foe. Then Kel-Aziz noticed the real reason of some of the adventurers attitude, they wanted to see Kel-Aziz fight. He then remembered he had not taken out his waveblades since he reached this Island, it was a common thing in the Darubian Royal Guards, only to fight when extreamly necesary. The rest of the mercenaries and a few rebels were probably wondering what this beggar was capable of besides his great leading ability. Kel-Aziz decided to fight.

Kel-Aziz: We will never make it in time to the tower, we need to move faster...Molek!
Molek: What is it!
Kel-Aziz: Take your men out of here, run towards the tower.
Molek: Are you out of your mind! What about all these skeletons.
Kel-Aziz: Dont worry about them, I will take care of this situation, I have some experience against undead hordes. (see Zombie Attack RP)

For some strange reason Molek actually believed Kel-Aziz could at least hold the skeletons back.

Molek: I hope you know what you are doing...ARMY, DISENGAGE, MOVE FORWARD!!!

Some of the Rebels at the front line were surprised of the new order and wondered how were they going to get pass the skeleton wall when suddenly a dark figure came running from behind them, only two silver lines could be seen comming from its side. As the man passed right beside them and through to the main body of skeletons could they tell it was Kel-Aziz.

Kel-Aziz clashed right in the middle of the skeleton wall blockading the path with both waveblades swinging vicously through skeleton body parts, the rebels were surprised at both the speed and the ease with wich the bones where sliced. Only Eferas, who was more experienced in this matter, could identify the blessing glow of the twin waveblades and the drakeskin speed boots he was wearing.

The rebels were surprise to see the skeletons force was actualy dividing by Kel-Aziz´s piercing attack, the momentum was ended when Kel-Aziz shouted.

Kel-Aziz: NOW!! CHARGE TOWARDS THE TOWER...GO NOW!!!
Molek: ATAAAACK!!!!

The hole body of the army pierced through the gap in the skeleton wall, cutting to pieces any skeletons separated from the rest of their groups. The tunnel was soon filled with sounds of clashing blades, broken bones and ocasional screaming...then it was silent. Kel-Aziz looked back as he could see the last row of rebel soldiers disapear into the dark of the tunnel, he then looked forward to find hundreds of scattered pieces of bones here and there with the ocasional dead rebel soldier.

It was silent.

Then the characteristic "clac" sound of skeletons moving filled the silence. Kel-Aziz took his waveblades into combat position, locked the nearest band...

Kel-Aziz: Just like the old days in the Darubian Empire.

...and dashed with incredible speed towards his foe.

...They had all dreamed about this moment. Every rebel warrior at the tunnel that day would never forget what was about to happen. This was an historic moment for Siris Island The tyran wich ruled the land with an Ironfist would, as Arcadia once said "Meet his end this very night". Soldiers prepared their weapons, healed their wounds, prayed and meditated for the day of the liberation had arrived. Behind that illusionary wall was the last obstacle to encounter Baltazar himself. The very structure they stared with fear from every corner of the Island, the simbol of Baltazar´s power. His tower.

CHAPTER V: The Tower

...With Arianne watching the lizzard female at the tunnel entrance, Kel-Aziz fighting the remaining skeletons at the tunnel and the Archmages fight in the tower, the Rebel army finnaly arrived at the tunnel exit where the illusion machine still covered their master plan. All this ocurred while Baltazar rested at the top of his tower, oblivious of the attacks magnitude.

Molek: This is it men...!!

Everyone stared at Molek who was now making his last speech before all hell brakes lose.

Molek: This is the moment we have been waiting for, for so long. This is the reason why many of our fellow warriors have died. We have made it this far...we are only a few steps away from our liberation, let this day live in the memory of all of our children and our childrens children, as the day Siris Island regained its freedom!!!

The hole army shouted in unison. Molek walked towards a band of rebels who were holding some crates.

Molek: Are the explosives ready?
Soldier: Yes sir.
Molek: You now what to do.

The group of soldiers ran out through the ilusionary wall. On the other side Mancire and Fluffy were just recovering from their recent battle when they spoted the band of rebel soldiers charging in. Mancire was about to pierce then to death when Fluffy stoped him.

Fluffy: Explosives, they carry explosives.

Mancire quickly took hold of Fluffy and carried him away through the tower halls.

Soldier: Crates in position, move back!!!

The soldiers ran back into the tunnel when the bomb activated itself.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The underground levels of the tower where shattered almost entirely, many of Baltazars barraks where destroyed by the explosion. The hole tower, solidly built, did not colapse but moved from side to side by the impact. At the top of the tower Baltazar was awakened from his slumber.

Baltazar:...No...this cant be happening...

At some intermediate point in the tower Arcadia was smiling for she new her plan had succeded. Back at the underground levels a battle scream could be heard.

Molek: FOR SIRIS ISLAND!!! ATTAAAAACK!!!!!!!

OOC: From now on, there are going to be deaths. Anyone posting please state if you wish your character to survive, flee, or die on this RP.

OOC: Ok MSW that information was usefull but plese limit your OOC use and make some more IC. If you are a good RPyer you should be able to send these messages through IC. Take premonitions example. She did not post any OOC explaining that she did not want to continue into the tunnel with the rest of the party, she just RPed and made it clear to everyone that she was at the tunnel entrance waiting for the Slith warrior to wake up. Ok, enough OOC.

IC:

As the army got closer to the end the soldiers got more and more impatient eager to fight for their freedom and slay Baltazar. Kel-Aziz stared at ShadowWolf and Eferas who seemed more impatient than most.

Kel-Aziz: (to Eferas) What is wrong old man? I see something is perturbing your mind.
Eferas:...Magic...I sense constant bursts of magic...at the tower.
Kel-Aziz: Must be Arcadia, thats a good sign. She is still alive, maybe we can make it in time and save her.

Suddenly Kel-Aziz walked over a different surface and he noticed it. He the heard as all the rest of the nearby soldiers passed through his same location and strange cracking sounds could be heard as if they were walking on eggs or...bones.

Kel-Aziz: HALT!!

The hole army stood still as the halting shout could be heard in a echo through the dark tunnel.

Molek: What is it now.
Kel-Aziz: Give me some light here.

A nearby soldier handed his torch to Kel-Aziz and then screamed when he saw what he was standing on.

Soldier: We are on a graveyard.

The hole army started moving around trying to avoid contact with any corpse. Kel-Aziz leaned over the ground and touched the soil.

Kel-Aziz: This is no rock, this is volcanic rock!!
Eferas: Then these skeletons are the victims of an ancient volcano eruption.
Molek: Intresting archeological find, but we must go on now if you dont mind.
Kel-Aziz: Not so fast.

Suddenly from under Kel-Aziz raggs a shiny golden glow could be seen. Kel-Aziz stared at the source.

Kel-Aziz: Its my waveblades, they glow when undead are nearby.
ShadowWolf: That explains why I didnt feel any precense before.
Molek: Undead! That is just what we needed now!!
Kel-Aziz: Dont worry if we are carefull there wont be any need to fig...
Some Rebel Soldier: AHHHhhhhh!!!

Everyone turned to the source. It came from the front lines. Suddenly out of the darkness, white figures could be seen with the light of the torches walking slowly towards the rest of the army.

Eve: Skeleton Warriors!!
Molek: No boney army is stoping this rebel force. CHAAAAARGE MEN!!!!
Kel-Aziz: Where is a priest when you need one.

IC:

The rebel army had just finished dispaching the last rats back into their dark lairs.

Mole: We have lost too much time here, double the speed people!!

The hole army started moving quite faster, even as some rebel warriors were healed from the recent battle.

Kel-Aziz: How much more ahead Molek...
Molek: Just a couple of miles, but be weary we dont know what else may lie ahead.
Firedrake: What! More miles ahead!
Molek: Yes, hold it like a warrior!! (to Kel-Aziz)...your recruit is starting to get impatient.
Kel-Aziz: I am sorry Molek, I recruited these men from an Inn, I do not know what are their backgrounds, their fears or the arts in wich they have been trained, I can only tell if a man is a veteran warrior, nothing else.

YET ANOTHER OOC:

Woha! Lets calm down people we were doing just fine. As far as I am concerned all IC posts until the last rant of Zephr will be ignored, as Arancaytar and Namothil explained before the party is still in the tunnel facing the wererat. Enraged Slith cogratulations for the cool fight.

Murder She Wrote, please calm down...I dont like your tone. Omlette si right about the fact that Arcadia admiting that Delgar was shamming, she would never do such a thing, as far as Alcove can tell Delgar is a noble servant of Baltazar. As for Omlettes post, I dont see anything wrong with it, he never mentioned anything about a short fight or that Arcadia would kill Alcove or anything to make you angry, he is just involving his character into the fight and he has the right to do that. It will also add more fun to the fight and even help Alcove discover Delgars true intentions (If Omlette is OK with that). If Arcadia lives or dies is up to both of you, but it has to be a long cool fight.

Lets read the posts more carefully please. Cheers.

Arcadia finnaly reached the tower gates, at the entrance two huge golems guarded steady like two pillars. Every now and then Arcadia could see as a huge chain turned opening the tower gates wich glowed magicaly.

Arcadia: Enchanted chains...there si no way I could cut them...those two golems however may prove usefull.

Then it struck her, if those two golems where disabled they would colapse over the tower entrance...it would take heavy use of magic or man labor to move them out of the way again.

Arcadia:...But how can I turn them off for good?...maybe if I made a few golems of my own...only to disctract them...yes that should do just fine!

Arcadia closed her eyes and visualised the golems, then she muttered some strange words and out of the very ground came four medium sized golems.

Arcadia: Go forth my minions, fight those guardians!!

The rock brutes moved mechanicaly towards the huge golems as both of them slowly turned to meet their sorry imitations. One of the Guardian Golems sent its huge hand down right above one of Arcadias golems. The impact made the very ground tremble. As this golem was burried the other three reached their targets hitting hard but in vain, causing just minor damage on the solid Guardian Golems that reached for their new victims. As the two titans where about to burry yet another golem, Arcadia, out of nowhere, fell over the head of one of the Guardian Golems, the creature did not even flinch and ignored her precence as yet another of Acradias golems was burried into the very ground from where it came from. Arcadia touched the rocks surface on the Guardian Golems head and a golden glow came from her hands and eyes. Suddenly the eyes of the Guardian Golem was devoid of the characteristical glow...it was disabled.

Arcadia: Minions, push with all your strength!!

The two remaining smaller golems pushed the disabled Guardian Golem over its twin partner. It seemed they tried in vain, but Arcadia joined in with a glowin beam of pure blue energy that managed to cause the desired effect. The huge piece of magical rock fell right over its slow partner, both of the creatures colapsed and fell with the sound of a meteor hitting the very gates of the Tower, a few human guards were unfortunate enough to be patroling just by the gate.

Arcadia: Well, that will shurely sound the alarm and gain some time for the rebels!!...hurry up comrades!!!

OOC: Fine, I will take care of Arcadia, but be prepared because I will make a living hell for all those who are at the tower. BTW, please lets avoid unecessary OOC writings (such as why I havent posted, the weather, my abilities as a RP(yes, that one goes for you MSW), when will I post, how I like my dog, etc), they are almost as much as IC!!

IC: Back at Baltazars tower...

Arcadia watched as Delgar disapeared and as Fluffy regained his conciousnes from the hit against the wall.

Arcadia: Oh, no you wont.

Arcadia ran towards Fluffy and placed her hands on the creatures head. The beast tried to move in vain as Arcadia accesed his small but usefull brain. In his mind Fluffy could hear...

Wolf Man...hear my call...wake from that darkness the man that once ruled this tormented soul, I ARCADIA COMMAND YOU TO BE FREE!!!

The mind spell worked but it would not last long on the beast, hopefully it would give her enough time to distract the other strange lizzard beast guarding the tunnel entrance.

Arcadia: Wolf man...find the lizzard creature and slay it!!

The beasts roared in fury, and runned with surprising speed down the hallway to meet the lizzard creature in deadly combat.

Arcadia: I wish I had time to see that battle between beasts but I have other more important things to do right now.

Arcadia made her way towards the tower gates, she had to get them closed somehow and prevent the entrance from Baltazars army to the tower and into the tunnel.

OOC:

Arcadia was always a woman, sorry if I made a mistake somewhere. That other mage can reveal whatever you want but Arcadia will stop any try to organize a defensive force...it is supposed to be a surprise attack and it shall be so. There you could make a special duel against her, I understand you have a side story against Arcadia. I dont care what you do to her just make her gain some time for the Rebelion to reach the tower. She was supposed to prevent Baltazar from knowing about the attack but its a bit late for that so do what you will with both Arcadia and that other mage.

IC:

Kel-Aziz was about to draw his own waveblades from under his rags when he noticed what Namothil was doing. Namothils blades easily cut through the slimes but to his horrors these continued living even if they were cut in half.

Kel-Aziz: HALT!!! PULL BACK!!!

All the rebels moved to the right side of the cave, even if Kel-Aziz was nothing but a beggar in apearence his voice had such authority in it that they obeyed, just as the other adventurers had joined him in this quest. Kel-Aziz knew his experience as a Darubian Royal Guard served him well in these kind of situations, since he remembered quite well the battles he had made for his now forgotten Darubian empire.

Kel-Aziz: Molek! Do you have any of those explosives to spare.
Molek: What do you have in mind.

Kel-Aziz just smiled.

Molek: Over there, those men have some. Hope you know what you are doing.

Kel-Aziz carried an explosive crate towards the other side of the tunnel.

Kel-Aziz: Tell the troops to advance faster...just ingore the slimes.

As Molek gave the orders and the Rebel army ran through the right side of the tunnel fending of the ocasional slime, Kel-Aziz ran at an incredible speed towards the left side of the tunnel right towards the slime concentration.

Kel-Aziz: I will need some space here Eferas, care too make some room!!!

Eferas as tired as he was lifted his hands and threw a huge fireball near Kel-Aziz, right in the middle of the slime concentration. Kel-Aziz quickly ran to the site of the explosion left the crate and ran even faster towards the tail of the Rebel army wich was leaving the area.

Kel-Aziz: One last favour. Can you take a firebolt shot from here Eferas?
Eferas: Phew...your lucky its only a fireball, I am an old man remember.

In one last effort Eferas aimed at the crate and shot a decent fireball at it. Then it happened. The explosion blew up the hole slime horde into green soup and luckily for the army, it was not big enough to colaps the tunnel.

Kel-Aziz: Good job Eferas, my respects.
Eferas: Just leave this old man alone will you.

The pair joined up with the rest of the band, wondering what other dangers might they face ahead.

(Siris time 3:30PM)

OOC: Feel free to add more encounters.

As Molek and the band leaded the army through the tunnel Kel-Aziz abrubtly stoped.

Kel-Aziz: Wait!...do you hear that dripping?
Molek: What!!
Kel-Aziz: Guess it was nothing, probably cave ponds.

As they where about to continue ShadowWolf stoped the party.

ShadowWolf: No wait!! Kel-Aziz is right...there is something out there.
Kel-Aziz: Eferas, can you lighten the place.
Eferas: No problem.

Eferas raised his hands muttered some strange words and with a scream streched his arms towards the darkness, suddenly a huge flamethrower came out of his hands lighting for a few seconds great portion of the tunnel. He then lowered his hands tired by the effort.

Drakefire: Over there, on the left!!!
Kel-Aziz: Cave slimes!!! Thousands of them!!!
Molek: Chaaaaaargee!!!!!

A group of the front army moved with the party towards the huge amount of cave slimes.

OOC: Time to hurry up the plot.

IC: Kel-Aziz had just finish putting his rags out of fire when the last of the Ice Hydras was killed by Firedrake.

Arcadia: ...We have lingered too much in the cave entrance, we must get to Tunnel Base now and join the rest of the group...follow me, quick!!

Arcadia suddenly started running into the darkness with great confidence as if she knew every part of these caves like the palm of her hand. Down, up, left, right...had it not been for Arcadias guidance they would have lost themselves in those caves. Finnaly the party arrived at what the rebels called "Tunnel Base". It was a huge complex built under the solid rock, obviously with the help of magic. Half a thousand men where moving around in the huge complex...barrels here, crates there...the base was in total activity. Suddenly a Rebel Guard aproached the party.

Rebel: Arcadia (kneeling)...we have been waiting for you.
Arcadia: Are the troops ready?
Rebel: The are ready to fight.
Arcadia: Any news of the scout guards we sent to the tower...

The Rebel guard suddenly changed his expresion to the one he was used to see in Siris islands inhabitants. Sorrow.

Rebel: We have not heard of him, we fear the worst.
Arcadia: What!! then we can not waste more time, we must begin the journey through the tunnel before its too late!!

The order was abruptly interrupted by a rebel soldier who suddenly screamed in joy...

Soldier: Molek is here!! They have made it!!

The party turned to see a hole garrison of men walking out of the tunnels, all showing signs of recent battle. The rest of the soldiers in Tunnel Base cried in joy as they saluted their rebel comrades. Molek, the big armoured warrior aproached Arcadia.

Arcadia: Molek!! You made it, where is Pachu!!

Molek noded.

Molek: We lost very good men out there...our base was destroyed...this is it...this is all we have left.
Arcadia: Do not worry my brother we still have enough men to slay Baltazar and free this island once and for all. Call every men to the Tunnel Entrance,carry all weapons, explosives supplies and potions...this is it. It is time to commence the journey.

They had finnay made it...all heroes and adventurers arrived at the tunnel...the tunnel that would lead those men and women to the very tower of Baltazar. That tunnel would pass right under the huge mountain of Siris Island and the walls of Siris castle and drop these men at the very gates of Baltazars hellish home. All those warriors knew this was it...their great chance to gain back what they lost before, their freedom. But freedom did not come easy, they also knew these tunnels ran deep into the mountain through many other caves and other natural tunnels wich they new nothing of...tunnels where unknown creatures lurked, creatures unknown to surface dwellers. But it was there...the path was there, only darkness was in between and they were rady to fight their fears and gain their freedom through the guts of Siris Mountain...the underworld...

CHAPTER IV: the Underworld

As our heroes gathered near the Tunnel entrance, Acradia stood high above some crates so that all could hear her before the journey started. The Tunnel was at her back, a perfect circle magicaly opened into the solid rock was awaiting the brave rebels and adventurers like a big worm opening its mouth ready to devour these pitfull creaturess.

Arcadia: The time has arrived free people of Siris Island. Our master plan is ready...only the underground journey is left before we reach Baltazars tower. This is the day all of us have waited for so long...this is the day....we shall regain our freedom!!!

Suddenly the hole cave was filled with a loud ovation a shouts of joy from the rebels united there.

Arcadia: We shall travel through darkness as fast as we can, time is against us for our enemies have found of our plans...but do not fear...I knew this might have happend.(she paused)...This is why I shall transport myself to the very tower in hopes to gain you some time before you arrive.

Sudenly the rebels started talking to each other and the tunnel entrance was filled with muttering.

Arcadia: Silence!! You must trust me, I shall give you time to make the surprise attack. Molek here shall guide you through the tunnel, he knows the place as much as I do. As for me...it does not matter if I live or die this day, for I am shure you will be victorious by the thime the sun sets. You shal once again...be rulers of Siris Island...farewell my people and wish me luck.

With that said Arcadia was covered in a bright light that blinded for a few seconds most of the men standing near her. When the light was gone...Arcadia had gone with it.

Molek: You have heard Arcadias will!!! MOVE FORWARD!!!

With that shout all the troops started walking forward into the darkness. Leading the group, Molek and the party moved with great confidence.

(Siris time 3:00PM)

OOC: MSW, Arcadia is now in your control. Let her gain some time for the rebels and make a great fight...it is up to you, Zephir and Fluffy if she survives

OOC: Good Idea Firedrake. Maybe Theobold and Arianne can prove they dont mean harm by killing the beast...thats up to them.

Arcadia: Arena!! These spiders inhabit these caves, be carefull with their poison!!

Each member of the party carefully surrounded the huge beast. Suddenly its eyes glowed in red and from its very vicious jaws came out a fireball that swept through the cave, Kel-Aziz and Arcadia managed to jump aside just i n time avoiding the fiery missile. Kel-Azizs dirty rags caught on fire.

Kel-Aziz: Ahhh....curse this fire....
Arcadia: Look out its coming again...!!

----IC BLOCK----

After this post only Arianne, Spider and Theobold are allowed to post, since they have to explain what they are doing in the cave entrance.

MSW, Omlette, Zephir, Fluffy and the Slith Captain may still post since they are in a different location. The party on the other hand cant post until replied by either Arianne, Spider or Theobold.

OOC: Im sorry I had to hurry up like that but it seems you didnt read the post where I and Firedrake said we should burry the bodies, so there isnt much interrogation to do. Also, premonition and EataChinchilla spoted our group entering the cave so I was forced to hurry things up realy.

EDIT: Omlette: I erased your character from my last post. I thought you had arrived at the same cave that led to the rebel tunnel, sorry about that. Please edit your post and type some RP in its place. Also, wach your grumpy attitude. I was pissed too when you and spider entered this RP too late in the game but you didnt see me posting like you did, not to mention Zephirs posts. IMAGE(rolleyet.gif)

OOC: I think Spider will join the party only during the tunnel chapter, it would spoil a serious ending.

IC: (Siris time 1:00PM)

The Party had made it to a very unatural clearing in the middle of the jungle where a huge rock wall blocked further progress.

Firedrake: What now?
Arcadia: Well, we enter the tunnel and meet with the rest of the Rebels who made it here.
ShadowWolf:...and this tunnel is....where?...
Arcadia: Stare at the rock...just for a few seconds...

Before their eyes what apeared to be just another piece of mountain, turned out to be a small cave entrance.

Eferas: Intresting.
Arcadia: Hurry up, we dont want to linger outdoors.

One by one the party members entered the cave, suddenly ShadowWolf stopped abruptly.

Eferas: Whats wrong ShadowWolf.
ShadowWolf: Shhh....someone else is in these caves, I sense three creatures nearby...one of them is faint, I cant quite identify them...
Arcadia: It is probably some of the Rebel Guards protecting the place...

Kel-Aziz who had not spoken or done much during the whole journey besides the recruiting suddenly threw himself towards the cave wall, in an apperently idiotict act he streched his hands towards the wall as if trying to grab it, surprisinlgy he did. His hands grabed into what first seemed to be some weird soft cave substance only to later reveal it was a cloak and under it two humanoids and one spider came flying out.

Kel-Aziz: Who are you?!
Arcadia: Those are not rebels!

Eferas and Firedrake quickly grabed the two infiltrators, Kel-Aziz stared at the Spider wich had been standing there all the time, it was quite big and had a cartain air of intelligence about it. Arcadia noticed the Spider.

Arcadia: Spider!
Spider: Arcadia! This is the human mage I told you about ('Staring at the two unknown subjects).

The hole party was shocked to see this little creature speak.

Arcadia: Tell me spider, who are these people...
Spider: They are cute humans! I heard that they want to kill the bad wizard that kills our bugs!
Arcadia: I see, (staring at the two newcomers)...who might you people be.

Kel-Aziz now took a good look at the infiltrators, the male one he did not know but there was something about the female, even in the dark of the cave, that he knew. She had a familiar beautifull pale face.

Male: Theobold, that is my name.

The female seemed quite reluctant to speak but Kel-Aziz did it for her.

Kel-Aziz:...Arianne, that is her name if my memory does not fail me. She is a vampire.

The party suddenly felt quite uncomfortable with the creature there.

Eve: She explains that strange death precense I felt before.
Kel-Aziz: Do not worry, she is...a good vampire.(see Zombie attack RP)

Aracdia: Ok, we wont continue unless both of you tell me what are you doing here...

(Siris time 1:15)

OOC: Your turn to IC premonition or EataChinchilla.

EDITR: Delgar, extracted from this IC post.

OOC:

Zephir: As far as I am concerned you have not left the tower. You shall be freed by Baltazar or MSW once we reach the tower. Be patient.

Omlette: Although I said no more players allowed, I will make an exeption on you, since I think you are one of the good RPs around. What I will ask you to do is that you read the hole RP...yes all of it. Its the least you can do if you wish to join a RP.

Omlette: Character aproved.

IC: (Siris time 12:00AM)

Kel-Aziz was surprised as how the group had handled the fight, he didnt even raise one of his hidden blades. Luckily for him he was not even a target for the assasins, he could not blame them, after all, he looked just like a beggar with those rags and dirty cloak all over him. He was also surprised these assasins had attacked them out of nowhere.

Kel-Aziz: Arcadia, what do you think about this.

Arcadia and Kel-Aziz were standing on a mound and had seen all the fighting from there.

Arcadia: Bounty Hunters...they know we are up to something. I bet we are going to encounter more groups like these before we reach Tunnel Base.
Kel-Aziz: Then we should move faster. Arcadia, can you heal Eferas?
Arcadia: It should take just a few seconds.
Kel-Aziz: Good. Firedrake, Namothil, ShadowWolf, Eve...lets get these bodies out of sight. We dont want any troops to follow our path.

Tommy: I will leave that hero fight up to you. Just be shure to get hurt and suffer some losses. Let one of the rebel heroes to flee so that he may tell Arcadia what happened to the base.

Arancaytar: You can make up the Siris Island forest encounters. Maybe make a huge encounter were we migh be saved by Thebold and Arianne so they can also join the group.!!

IC: (Siris time 11:30)

As the party ran deeper into the jungle they could hear the echoes of battle. For a moment Kel-Azizs battle instincs grew stronger, he felt the sudden need to run back and join in battle, but in his mind he knew he would serve much better killing Baltazar.

Arcadia: Hurry men, we need to get to the tunnel entrance before the sun rises even more and covers all the land...ShadowWold, Eferas hurry! We shall have enough time to prepare for the attack at the Tunnel.

OOC: We will also have more encounters during the Tunnel Trip, wich shall be in Chapter IV, then more encounters while we travel up the tower Chapter V and finaly the last encounter against Baltazar, Chapter VI. So dont worry we shall have a lot of battling to do. IMAGE(biggrin3.gif) IMAGE(wink0003.gif)

OOC: Thanks Tommy IMAGE(smile003.gif) . I think MSW and WiseMan were a bit confused. If you still feel confused, try reading this posting page again.

IC: (Siris Time 10:30)

The party had already made it to the lower levels of the Rebel base. To their surprise, the lower levels of the Rebel base were a huge network of tunnels streching across for a few miles. Luckily a Rebel guard was guiding them throw the tunnels.

Firedrake: Impressive base you have here.
Rebel: Indeed, we must have enough space for all our barracks and supplies.

Soon they arrived to what seemed to be the main cave. A huge cavern that streched high enough as to look like a castle hall. This room was carefully decorated and magical light ball lightened the place. In the center of the hall there was a long wooden table that ocupied most of the cave, on one end of the table a beautifull women in purple robes was waiting. At her left side a huge man with heavy armour, on her right side a slim small man with leather armour an eye patch and an impressive amount of daggers.

Arcadia: Welcome travelers, we have been waiting for you.

...Our heroic adventurers have arrived at the very heart of the rebel base, before them Arcadia was waiting. Long had the rebels waited for this moment, soon they would have the chance to battle the enemy forces. All of it depended on their master plan...The Tunnel. For years they have diged and blown up tons of rock, deep within the Island and finnaly they have made it to the very Tower of Baltazar. The only missing piece of the puzzle was the band of brave adventurers that would fight their way to Baltazar and slay him...luckily for the rebels that piece has just arrived.

CHAPTER III: The Tunnel

The band slowly aproached the table and took their seats. As they did, other rebel high officials entered the main cave and joined the table.

Ariande: Rebel Comrades, free people of Siris, loyal warriors of king Theodus. Today may be the last day we gather under this rock, today may be the last day we live hiding under ground, today...may be the last day we live under the shadow of Baltazar. Gentlemen, the last piece of our master plan has just arrived...meet, the assasins of Baltazar.

All eyes of the table turned to the band of adventurers.

Eye-patched guy (Pachu): They seem more like a bunch of sailors to me.

All the hall cracked up in laughter, exept for the adventurers and Arcadia.

Aracdia: Do not be deceived by their looks Pachu, for I have seen in their minds and hearts since their arrival and they have survived more battles than any of us.
Heavy Armoured Guy(Molek): Is it so...(aproaching the adventurers)...well I hope these so called veterans dont spoil our master plan.
Kel-Aziz: Pardon my interruption but ..what mission are you talking about?

Arcadia quickly briefs the hole party of the tunnel and the mission to slay Baltazar.

Eferas: I understand. I think I speak for all this group when I say we are more than willing and capable for this task.
Molek: So it is done, we shall show you the way to the tunnel entrance behind Siris mountain and escort your way there.
Arcadia: The entrance is covered by an illusion but you shall be able to see the entrance.

Arcadia mutters a brief spell and all the party feels a warm sensation around their bodies.

Suddenly the meeting is interrupted by a Rebel Guard that bursts in the Main Cave almost breathles.

Rebel Guard:...an army....Baltazar....!
Molek: Calm down soldier!
Rebel Guard: ...they are comming this way! They will soon discover our secret base!
Pachu: Quickly, prepare the defenses, sound the alarm!!
Aracdia: The adventurers may not be harmed, they shall travel with me!! We shall leave through the back tunnel!! Any survivors shall meet with us at The Tunnel!!
Molek: I and Pachu shall command the resistance here.
Pachu: Do not worry, we shall give you enough time...now GO!!

The party quickly follows Arcadia through the tunnels and out of the Rebel base and into the wild jungles of Siris Island. Back in the Rebel Base, Molek and Pachu are preparing their surprise assault .

(Siris Time 11:00)

OOC: Ok, no more players may join, let the first battles begin!

IC:

Kel-Aziz was running out of patience. There he was, in the middle of a crime scene, leading a group of adventurers to a Rebel leader he had never seen.

Kel-Aziz: Speak woman!!
Eve: I told you I dont know what happened here.
ShadowWollf: She is probably right Kel-Aziz, look at those markings.

Kel-Aziz took a closer look at the body.

Kel-Aziz: Ineed, these are huge claw markings, there is now way this girl had anything to do with this.
Firedrake: But a beast could not take a heads man and carry it away could it.
Kel-Aziz: I believe this was no common beast. It was a smart one...
Eferas:...a werewolf.(He then lifted his arm and showed everyone what he had found nearby. He was holding a piece of grey fur so that everyone could see.)
Sailor: Bah, that could be any dogs fur!! I say we teach this girl a lesson.
Namothil: Wait!

Everyone turned to the new arrival.

Namothil: I have seen these beasts before, they are half men, half wolf...that old man speaks the truth...this was the work of a werewolf.
Eferas: True, besides the footprints I found down there where far bigger than those of a common wolf.

The man that was holding Eve released her.

Eve: I told you I had nothing to do with this.

Kel-Aziz aproached the new arrival and separated him from the group.

Kel-Aziz: You seem to know quite enough of these creatures and by the looks of you I can see you are a man who has survived many battles, what is your name stranger...

Namothil: Namothil...I have indeed vast knowledge in combat and strange creatures such as werewolfs.

Kel-Aziz proceeded to explain Namothil the situation on the Island and the Rebels necesity to hire adventurers for the sneak attack on Baltazars tower.

Kel-Aziz: So...are you in?
Namothil: You can count on it.
Kel-Aziz: Exelent, come with us then.

Kel-Aziz quickly introduced Namothil to Eferas, ShadowWolf and Firedrake.

Kel-Aziz: Ok, this seems to be quite a decent group. We better get moving before noon, or we might have some trouble with the local authority and Bobs remaining corpse.

Kel-Aziz quickly ordered some of the locals to burry the body and go back to the Inn as if nothing had happened.

Firedrake: Where are we going now?
Kel-Aziz: We shall meet the Rebel leader.

And so the new formed party walked out of the port towards the secluded home of the Rebel leader, just outside the city by the eastern beach.

(Siris time 10:00AM)

OOC: I hope I represented each character well. Sorry for playing your character Milla but you took to long to answer. Milla If you want your character to join make her follow us.

IC: As the party cautiosly left town avoiding eye contact with any other local sailor the managed to make it and arrive in one peace at the eastern beach.

Kel-Aziz: Thats it, that the house Bob told me about.
Drakefire: Doesnt look much like a Rebel HQ to me.
Namothil: Maybe thats why they need our help so much.
Eferas: There is more than what meets the eye. These Rebels were smart in choosing such a small unremarcable cottage as a base for their leader.

Kel-Aziz aproached the small cottage and knocked the door carefully, avoiding throwing the weak door over. No one answered, sudenly they all felt a wave swept through their brains.

ShadowWolf: What was that.
Eferas: My guess is that they scanned our minds. Mmm, there is a powerfull mage working for these people.

Suddenly they all heard a voice from inside the hut.

Voice: You may come in. Arcadia was expecting you.

As they entered the were greeted by a rebel guard.

Guard: You cant be to carefull these days. A flying lizzard captured one of our mages this morning at a nearby Rebel base. Please. Follow me.

To everyones surprise the guard started walking towards the wall of the wooden hut, suddenly he passed right through it!

Kel-Aziz: Intresting. Lets follow.

As the party passed through the ilusionary hall they where surprised to see what they met at the other side.

OOC: I will let anyone of the party describe the real rebel base.

OOC: Zephir, you are about to brake rules 5 and 10 of this RP. Go any further and we shall be forced to kill your character or make him flee out of this RP. This RP is called "Baltazar the mad" not "Mancires Tale". Your character must go around Baltazar not Baltazar around you, so fix that. You can escape yes, but no drake-man mage allowed.

EDIT: Good thing you edited your previous post Zephir, thanks.
