never know this might lead into the next part of quest or may just serve as a fun piece of roleplay to add to the already great quest ;D

[Cogleastro]

As i was hunting WW's i meet Skullo and he told me his problems and the described his fearful and teriffing dreams of this "[glow=red,2,300]EVIL FORCE[/glow]" and how it was slowly devouring my friend from inside but as i have known Skullo for many years now i have also found that he keeps things bottled up inside not telling any one for many day posibly even weeks.

"There must be more to this problem"i said to my self

"He mustn't be telling me the whole story he must be keeping something from me..."

So said nothing more about his problems and just tryied to help him find a cure for this dreaded evil....

What will happen next

Start of Role Play

Finally I arrived at the Thousand Years Town with the young warrior. I escorted him to his father. Still concerned about the sense of evil that I could feel, I kept going. I couldn’t wait to meet my angel again. As we walked I noticed all the villagers locking them selves in their homes. “Did we miss out something?” I was thinking to my self. While making our way to the Town Hall I glimpsed at the young warrior and I could see a malicious smile of satisfaction. “What is wrong?” I again whispered to my self.

As we took to the alley heading to the door of the town hall, I heard someone murmuring “Isn’t that the son of the Head of Town”…. “Yes it’s him, Its JAPS!”

When I heard that I froze. All my other Athanstusians and myself sensed something wrong but never thought of this. Japs turned around and realised that I figured out what this was going to lead too. Finding me off guard, all I saw is his staff hitting me just below my chin, a direct hit to my throat, which made me fall unconscious.

All I saw while falling is Japs running to the door and screams and shouts all over the place. I then closed my eyes.

“What happened, I cannot see!” I said shocked….

A soft voice spoke out, “Slowly, stay down and rest. The hit u sustained contained venom that made you unconscious. Gradually you will gain your senses back.”

“Who are you? Where am I?”

“I am the Head of Town’s daughter, I do hope you remember me. You are at my hut. I am taking care of you till you are back in shape”

“You are my angel that lived in my dreams during my travel. I could never forget you. Please tell me your name… I want to know how a name of an angel sounds…”

“My name is Anastasia.”

“I wonder if a Demon and an Angel could fall in love. Do you think it is possible?”

I hear her giggle and does not answer, she just reaches out to me and kisses me softly.

“I have bad news Belial. My brother, Japs, has planned all this to make my father loose focus. After hitting you he ran to my father and he nearly killed him, He stole something from him. He stole the life essence of the demon scorpion. He wants to bring back this creature and attack the Thousand Years Town. This creature is too powerful for our town’s defense. It is also too powerful for Athanatusians to kill. We have to get the essence back before he brings it back to life. I heard that the tomb of this creature lies at the Leo’s Circle of Death. He must be at that area hiding for the appropriate time to bring it back to life. We need to get the essence back, my love.”

“I will not be able to get it back till I gain my eyesight. I will call upon my guild comrades to hunt him down….”

“Thank you my love, I am sure you will do your best to help my father and the villagers.”

“Move back for a moment…”

As she steps back I concentrated to form a white aura around me. I open my eyes suddenly, and rays of a dark aura started to slowly grow and mix with the white aura. Like a battle within of White and Black Magic Aura, my constant battle between by human and demonic essence. The auras grew and then dispersed.

“I have warned my follow Athanatusians to meet and we will build up a plan to retrieve it back, my dear. Do not worry” I said in a confident voice.

“I am sure you will”, she said while I slowly fell again asleep, tired from the venom and battles.

Soon more to come people, feel free to post in but please do not add, change the story. Post in you experiences while all this is happening, and finish it off with you getting the message from me.

[skullo]

Still suffering from my evil dream i hunted and kill many a beast hoping that as i honed my skills i would asertain the power to cure myself.

All of a sudden i hear bel's voice but he was no where to be seen,his voice seemed some what weakend and crocky.

The voice told me of bel's predicament and then stopped as quick as it had started.

Upon hearing this i charged towards tyt, for 2 long days i ran full pelt,finelly reaching my destination.

After some food and rest bel's told me what had happened in more detail and then fell into a sleep again.

With this i desided to stand guard at the door but i had a feeling i would not do much good but would be willing to die trying.

end of role play

this ok bel

[knifey]

Belial turned away and lead the young man towards the head of town, I smile to myself, in a way of congratulating myself on a mission well acheived. Moments later I hear a thud, that only a body hitting the floor could make. I spin round and my eyes lock onto Belials fallen state, taking in a huge gasp of air i scan the area looking for the cause.

A local calls out JAPS, and my memory serves me on a previous encounter with this name.

"Belial was right...." I mutter to myself and call upon Josephine to attend to Belial.

Jo doing her best to attend to Belial, I take pursuit on the fleeing evil. I seem to be gaining on him at a rapid pace, when suddenly he dissapears..... I slide to a top, kicking dust into the air. Confused i look around, managing to catch sight of him heading into the Head of Towns mansion.

In fear for our Towns leader i burst into the mansion after Japs. I find him just as he knocks the Head of town to the floor, Japs raises his staff above his head and begins to chant mystical words, a magical glow surrounds him and i can physically see the power in the spell grow. Unsure of what to do i tackle him to the ground, breaking his concentration and causing the spell to fail.

After an exchange of fist shots i draw my Crusher. Sitting over him i swing it down towards his head, but he manages to roll out the way and get to his feet. Again i swing, but the weight of the weapon makes me attack slowly. While my axe is on the floor from a missed shot he hits me in the ribs forcing me to take a large healing potion.

In the time it took me to drink the potion he had long enough to run away. Disheartened by my failiure to stop him i walk back out into the fresh air of town, i see the head of towns Daughter crouched beside Belial talkig to him. I watch from a distance when suddenly a burst of Black and White auras explode out infront of bel and seemingly begin to battle. This only strengthened my suspictions that Belial is slightly out of the ordinary ()

I begin to ready myself, as i am now certain this guild had another part tot this journey.

ROLE PLAY BEGINS

Gathering in the tavern once more, the troubled warriors of Athanatus discussed their predicament in hushed tones.

"Well you won't get far without these", said a voice from the gloom. A tiger oil lamp sputtered into life in a dark corner of the tavern, and the eyes of the assembled warriors were drawn to a figure seated at a table. The wizened veteran, who, for an obscure reason, sported hair dyed a shocking pink, sat cross-legged on a bench carving the finishing touches to a spirit crossbow.

Seemingly oblivious to the patiently awaiting assemblage, the man peered suspiciously at the weapon. With a satisfied grunt, he laid it to one side on the table in front of him.

"Ah yes, as I was saying..." Reaching beneath the table, he drew forth a backpack of roughly cured leocrot leather. Rummaging within for a moment, he pulled out a rolled up strip of tiger leather, and unfurled it carefully on the table before him. Immediately, a sorcerous glow illuminated the area, drawing a gasp of surprise from the watching warriors.

"Bel..." said the man, picking up one of the bracelets from which the glow emanated, and holding it out to a bemused Belial.

Frowning, Belial stepped forward. "What the....oh, yes, the skeleton jewels..." he said, grinning as realisation hit him.

"Put it on mate", said the smiling veteran. Belial snapped the bracelet into place on his wrist. "Lovely mate, cheers" he said, reaching for his brimming tankard.

"What do those things do, then ?", whispered one of the apprentice warriors. Without a word, the old crafter picked up the crossbow from the table and hurled it straight at Belial.

Pivoting on his heel, Belial spun and deftly caught the bow one handed an inch from his face. The movement was so fast and precise, it belied belief. Not one drop of ale was spilt. Noone spoke for a long moment. Eventually, the apprentice gulped and said "oh...".

Chuckling quietly to himself, Barinov, for such was the veteran's name, said "don't worry lads and lasses, plenty more where that came from...oh, and can someone see to Gens ?".

All eyes fell upon the Guild leader who, to everyone's surprise, was face down on the bar floor.

"Drunk already ?", said Belial, his voice revealing his incredulity.

"No mate. I believe he fainted when he thought you were about to spill your ale just now..."

ROLEPLAY ENDS

Hope this is okay, and to everyone's liking.

[Cogleastro]

After Gens had awoke from being slapped a few times by Jo he was put onto the nearest chair and we gave him a few minutes to focus.Once Bel had given out all of the braclets that this mysterios person had given us and then giving us a demonstration of what they do when placed on your wrist we set off now looking for this trouble maker Japs.

[glow=red,2,300]BANG[/glow]

As i and Strom turned around to see where the noise had come from we saw Gens on the floor in the middle of the tavern door way. So we piked him up and moved him agaist the wall.

Storm told me to go get the others back so i ran forth and called upon the rest of the guild for help.

A few moments later Dawn had come bak with some sort of herb and waved it under Gens nose and a few seconds later he sat straight up.

and said "Have i mist anything" but then fell bak to sleep.

"We shall have to start our jorney at first light tommorow morning" said Bel

So i and the rest of us went back to our homes and rested up for the ran hunt the next day....

Mwuahahaha… I now have the essence of the Demon Scorpion. When combined to the other essence in my possession it will be unstoppable. You will all fall to my doing and the Thousand Years Town will be MINE!

The power of the Demon Scorpion combined to the intelligence and dexterity of the goddess of the Valley of Death will blend into my perfect servant. You will have no way of defeating me you mere human scum. You will all die to my doings! NOW DIE SCUM!

Start of Role Play

You do not know what you are doing. You will never be able to control that beast you fool. We will stop you. I know where you will be doing your deeds.

Fellow Athanatusians, I can feel the manifestation of evil close to the Orc woods. He must be close to that area. You will all realise when he will be at his doing cause foolish enough he will taunt us. His confidence will make him fail comrades. Only thing I can tell you is to kill this disgusting evil spawn. Be aware though he will either flee or attack back. Make him drop his essence. I can only help you here by sensing his location, as I am still weak and I will not be able to withstand his MAGIC abilities!

End of Role Play

Rules of manhunt:

• Hunt will ONLY start when Japs talks in guild chat.
  
• Every time Japs will be killed he will warp. With a chance of dropping essence. The main one will be the scorpion essence (there could be more then 1).
  
• There is a hidden surprise within the character that he might drop. If this special item is dropped, it cannot be sold. If the user does not need it give back to Japs.
  
• If when warping he drops his armour or weapon it must be returned without killing him.
  
• If he kills you, do not warp you will not loose stats.
  
• Japs will not attack if you are being attacked by a mob. That does not mean you should not attack him while he mobbed.
  

A special note. When I am on Japs, I am not Belial and I might sound different. With Japs I do not follow community rules. I might go around and attack you while you not ready.

Event will be active from next Sunday and it will last more then one day. This manhunt will be ideal for the young in heart to start getting a grasp of pking/warring. You cannot imagine how though it is to get someone killed when he is ready. Let see what you made of.

[Japs]

You are only miserable fools that will make my day in trying to kill me. I will only but laugh at your dead corps in a pool of blood laying on the floor. Mwuahahaha!

[Cogleastro]

Event sounds fun m8 ;D

[glow=red,2,300]Japs is a dead man!!![/glow]

[knifey]

The messages sent to the guild from this master mind of evil, startle all members, but knowing their duties as an athanatus'ian, they all leave to their respective places and prepare their weaponry and armour for battle. Not knowing the true power of this man each member takes only their best.

Knifer , after breifly talking to the Warehouse keeper, is given a halberd from his stash. He goes over every square inch of the weapon to make sure it is perfect, knowing from his previous encounter, there is no room for poor weaponry, and more than that, no rom for mistake.
He takes out his hero armour and begins to put each peice on. With every peice he puts on his moral begins to rise, he begins to belive that in a guild so strong that the spawn of satan would stand no chance!
Around the fountain of TYT Knifer begins to practise with his axe, swinging it in every direction...with deadly accuracy, although he now sees a problem.... the weapon is too slow.
He takes another journey to the Warehouse keeper and draws a Dragon Claw, the speed is amazing....the power low but knifer now seems confident.
Knifer now ready for battle, is only left with the flickering of a lit torch and the pain his mind can produce.
