"We don't know what killed him, or what he was doing. Find out what we can, then bury the poor man."

[3-Erunion can do the digging.]

"Hmmm that was quick......you guys are like a bad omen not even a day goes by and we already find dead people....."

*Seloc pokes the corpse with his sword.*

1. "oh by the way any o you guys gonna eat that? naaaw im too full from breakfast plus xiax has done his dirty buiseness on it"

get the cash and leave it there we have a quest to do we shudnt be chasing down corpses when we can be making our own.

"Am I the only sane one left? Ragnarr, find out what killed him and how he died, I'll start digging a grave."
"Some air, earth to loosen the soil, and pack it into stone on the sides... Ah hah!"
With that the group sees a hole in the ground blow open, the sides pushed into a wall of baked mud.

"I told you going through a day without killing anything was bad luck! Now look what happened Gaius! I say we kill the monster to appease Bhaal and Myrkul!"

"And before I forget, what did we find on the adventurer's corpse? And also why do we have to cross the mountain? Do you have a map of where we have to go?"

[Choose: 2]

"Blast it, kill the beast. I'm sick and tired of this madma... Ermmm, Xiax, charge!"
"Might as well throw a little light on the situation..."
With that, a light blossomed above each of the groups head, illuminating the area.

[ Choice : 2 ] "..best make sure no more men die from this,.."

*Jonny stands to one side of the group, still wondering why he was left out of just about anything. Then he realizes that he was drunk half the morning and that Ragnarr had carried him up to the cave as it was*

"So, I say we let some one who has a big wepaon and a lot of strength. I can go second I guess, I'll have their back. Honestly, as long as the rest of you follow at a decent pace. But theres no way I'm going first. Sorry"

"Why is it called Bull strength? because its bull $hit!"
slight laughter ripples through the group, as the classic drum bu-bum-chi goes.

"That's it elf boy, you're going down!"

*Xiax casts level 6 Eroticism and turns Erunion into a real beautiful woman.*

*Jonny looks on, dumb founded, at being reprimanded by what appeared to be, a person.*

"Well, umm, I feel bad. I got your back there Seloc!"

*Jonny charges in, a dozen or so paces behind seloc, and a bit more cautiously. too*

    Erunion, seeing that, shook his head, and snapped the illusion. Then he started jogging towards the monster, long strides eating up ground, when he started to get close, he strung his bow...

{OOC} When I use my arrows, it's mainly as a transfer point for spells. A spell is a lot less tiring when you tie it into an arrow. In this case, it'll will send a burst of fire out of it's tip on impact, and since it would already of pierced the beasts skin, the burst of fire would be primarily inside the thing.

{That was my own Idea... I didn't steal it from a book, although multiple people can have the same ideas... BTW, what book is it in?}
"Xiax, fry the thing!"
Arrows started to launch from Erunion's bow, one after another in quick succession.

{Right, now I remember. Actually, I'd used the idea before I read that book... But I see your point.}

OOC soz i havent spoken was wrestling with my brother for control of the PC lol

*With a great Warcry Kassius's eyes glow red and his body takes on a reddish sheen and the veins stick out like steel rope, he sprints off, taking a scouting position up ahead ......... not noticing the large trail of vegitative destruction left in his wake........Kassius dont do stealth* 

"Have you fellows never heard of silent attacks?" sounded a voice from the shadows.
Ragnarr was slowly walking in the darkness of the cave, only a slight shine from his great-sword indicating his preasance.
"Now what ever is there knows we're here, you fools."

"Oh dear. Why did we take Kassius along again?"

[[OOC: Septim the self-proclaimed spammer is here!]]

And so the group went through the tunnel looking for the beast, and instead of finding him they find an exit...so they leave and forget about the monster.

[Rising action...rising action...rising action...flatline]

They soon leave and happen upon the dwarven city of Nerimor, they decide to spend the night there, they find a small tavern called the Trolls Head tavern and Gaius buys eight rooms. He distributes the keys and sits at the bar.

"I'll take an ale..."

*Jonny walks in behind his two comapnions. He decides to sit at the bar with Seloc, and see how hes doing.*

"Pass me an ale as wel there, good barkeeper."
"So seloc, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing great mo*beep*n I've had in ages, how about you Jonny?"

*Seloc contiunes to convesation.*

"Amazing... I'm here with a madman, an anger management escapee, a drunk, and a person who cannot refrain from spamming but somehow manages to hide. Other than that I have Iceboy here, a farmboy and someone who I can't for the life of me remember..."

am i the madman or the anger management escapee i feel my talents encompass both

*Jonny looks over at Erunion, and smiles weakly*

"At least I make conversation, ey esa?"

*Turns back to seloc*

"Thats good to hear bro. I saw you charge into that fake monster. I thought it was real. I'm pretty impressed. You wanna join me, after this whole *waves hand around* quest thing is over?"

"ey man, no worries. You've got courage and spirit. Te world needs more people like you, to keep it from being, well, not courageous and spirit like."

*Jonny takes a sip of his whiskey, he doesn't feel like talking, as three arrows are sticking out of his back XD*

*Septim turns around from his seat at the bar

"No, ith becase yor noth imporont"

*Septim gets up and stumbles to his room

***

The next morning the group left in the early hours of the morning, Septim did not talk much as he had a tremendous hangover. They walked for many days and many nights until they came upon the Plains of Verdillia, the Cave of Ages was rumored to be there. They wondered what guardians the cave must have when suddenly a large bull came out, the group looked at him, and suddenly he rose onto his hind legs.

"Leave adventurers, or face certain death", said the bull.

Choose one!

1. Refuse and fight the angry bull

2. Run like cowards

3. Offer him something as a bribe
