Twilight the Ghost
As related by Narranon
As many adventurers relaxed at Kazola's Treetop Keg and Winery,
the dragon Tal'Hur suddenly appeared in the courtyard!
He quickly got to the point...
Phelan: That...is a mighty fine dragon.
TalHur: Humans *sigh*
TalHur: We must seek the ghost
TalHur: He has the bolt
TalHur: This foolishness must be stopped finally.
TalHur: There is only one man.. that can help us
TalHur: His name is Starkuyl
Fayrwynd Mordayn: And where...may we find him?
TalHur: Rumors be
TalHur: He lives on the isle of fire
TalHur: We must seek him out..
TalHur: Only then we will retrieve the bolt from the
ghost
Kazola: Where on Fire Isle is he?
TalHur: He is a medium of great power..
TalHur: Just south of the northern mountain range is
where he lives
Phelan: *mutters* ...I hate the Fire Isle...
TalHur: On the isle
Tempus: at the Temple?
TalHur: Not in a temple
TalHur: In a house
Fayrwynd Mordayn: never been..how do we get there?
Cernynnos: a mage might gate us all
Phelan: Antigon's tower were there, Fayr. We jus' dinna
go wanderin' round.
Kazola: I may have a rune to the entrance of Hythloth
Phelan: Blasted bone knights e'erywhere.
Arda: That is close enough kaz
Kazola: I'll go get it
And so we all followed through a gate to Fire Island. We began
just outside dread Hythloth and moved north, following Tal'Hur
across the island. It was slow going. We did get to know our
dragon protector a bit better on the journey. This may not have
been a good thing.
Armorz: *pets TalHur*
TalHur: *snaps his jaws at the foolish human*
Armorz: I am not a human
TalHur: You smell like one
Armorz: *sigh*
Fayrwynd Mordayn: *thanks her stars she is not a
virgin*
Lance: how do we smell?
Lance: like chicken?
TalHur: A mix of mongbat dung and month old cabbage
Lance: d'oh
---
TalHur: All these infernal houses
Narranon: You could smite some of them
Armorz: Burn them down
TalHur: I should
Narranon: We wouldn't mind
Armorz: Please do
---
TalHur: Poor hu..mans cannot fly
As we penetrated deeper into the jungle, our party began to
become seperated from one another. Bands of bone mages and
skeletal knights came at the group from behind, and energy bolts
flickered among the jungle. Tal'Hur continued on, heedlessly,
until after a little while he noticed that there weren't too many
"hu...mans" left following him...
Lance: oh-uh
Kyra: hmm?
Lance: methinks they ran into trouble
Narranon: We seem to be missing an army
TalHur: GRRRRRRRRRRR
Lance: great Dragon many are missing..
TalHur: Where are the rest of the ants
Lance: Fighting in battle...
TalHur: Ah well
TalHur: I care not
Lance: "..."
Kyra: are all dragons this mean?
Narranon: Yes
Narranon: This one at least hasnt killed you yet
---
Lance: Too many are missing
TalHur: fine
TalHur: we will wait a minute
Kyra: ok i think im scared now
Lance: Alright...
Lance: stay here
TalHur: *stomach growls*
---
Lance: BAD news...
Kyra: what?
Lance: They were overwhlemed
Twang: what happened?
Lance: All dead...
Twang: how many dead
Lance: or at least most...
TalHur: ALL?
Lance: Most..
Lance: Few stand fighting...
TalHur: Hmm
TalHur: Time for a snack then
And with that the dragon turned around and headed into the
battlefield, tearing apart the undead as he went. Eventually the
battle was won, in large part with Tal'Hur's help, and we
regrouped and set forth again for the medium's house. It wasn't
too far off.
Starkuyl: I wasted my time stupid Dragon!
Starkuyl: *glares*
TalHur: Excuse me?
TalHur: What did you call me, human?
Phelan: Found'im! An' there he be!
Starkuyl: *smiles a bit*
TalHur: I do not stand for insolence
Starkuyl: and that is the dragon
Starkuyl: who jakked about me?!
TalHur: Starkuyl
TalHur: Let's be done with this
Starkuyl had us form a loose circle (with 50 or so
independent-minded folk, it's harder than it sounds) and began
the incantations necessary to bring the ghost Twilight back to
realm of the living.
Starkuyl: Corp Kal Rel Mani
Starkuyl: Corp Kal Rel Mani
Starkuyl: Corp Kal Rel Mani
Starkuyl: *chants*
Starkuyl: Twilight show thee!
Twilight: OOo
Starkuyl: very well
Starkuyl: I wil let thee speak with normal tongue
Starkuyl: I summoned thee!
Starkuyl: I have done my part.
Starkuyl: *frustarted waves*
Twilight: oOOOo OOO Oo
Starkuyl: now ask him
Sarah Mordayne: Thank ye Starkuyl
Starkuyl: I am ready!
Arda: Twilight, do ye have the bolt?
Cernynnos: where is the bolt!

Silk: On the isle of Fire.
Twilight: I know no Mordread
Twilight: How doth this concern me?
Twilight: Why hath ye brought me here?
Gill-Galad: are you a follower of the virtues?
Garet Jax: Explaining this evil one to yah, would take

Sarah Mordayne: We asked Starkuyl and he brought ye
Twilight: I was able to touch it even though dead
Twilight: I thought has much
Twilight: power

Kazola: 'tis the essence of good...it is the only thing
which will let us destroy Mordread
Sarah Mordayne: We need that to destroy Mordread
Heather: we seek no power for ourselves
Twilight: and Mordread is who?
Sarah Mordayne: An evil liche who threatens the world.
Twilight: is he that red liche?
Twilight: I saw him right before I died
Kazola: the evil lich who seeks to destroy our friend
Rhysart.. and everyone else..
Sarah Mordayne: A vile creature
Twilight: *thinks*
Sarah Mordayne: Please
Sarah Mordayne: Help us
Twilight: and ye need the bolt?
Sarah Mordayne: Aye
Heather: we do
Fayrwynd Mordayn: We plead with thee.
Twilight: may I have it back when the liche is dead?
Sarah Mordayne: T'is not mine to give milord
Heather: you are welcome to pull it from his corpse
Twilight: Tis mine
Sarah Mordayne: But I would if I am able
Twilight: hmmm..
Fayrwynd Mordayn: The Mordayns stand as one.
Twilight: *hates the thought of giving up his bolt*
Twilight: but
Sarah Mordayne: If I can return it I shall
Twilight: you promise?
Sarah Mordayne: I swear I will try
Fayrwynd Mordayn: Aye...we shall
Twilight: very well
Twilight: you... you
Twilight: may....
Twilight: errk..
Twilight: have it
Sarah Mordayne: I thank thee Twilight
Twilight: *looks at the bolt one last time*
Twilight: *sighs*
Twilight: noble and good.. great
Twilight: *hands Sarah the bolt*
Twilight: er..
Twilight: umm..
Heather: Thank you Twilight
Kazola: Aye, thank you Twilight
Twilight: can i hold it once more?
Starkuyl: *rolls eyes*
Twilight: I need my bolt!
Hunter X: You will get it back
Twilight: give it back!
Sarah Mordayne: I shall return it if I can
Twilight: no!!
Heather: i think he means right now

Starkuyl: I disengage thione bonds
Starkuyl: with this world!
TalHur: Enough of this already
Starkuyl: back to the reighn of the death!
Twilight: Oo oOOoooo
Twilight: OO ooooOOO
And so, Sarah Mordayne of the Mordayne Sisters recieved the Bolt
of Purity from Twilight, and gave it to the dragon Tal'Hur fo
safekeeping.
TalHur: Now give it to me
George: And how are you going to use it dragon?
TalHur: Away somewhere safe
Sarah Mordayne: There Talhur
Sarah Mordayne: Take it
Sarah Mordayne: But please
TalHur: thank thee, milady
Sarah Mordayne: I have a debt to Twilight
Sarah Mordayne: if I can I would return it
Fayrwynd Mordayn: Aye...the Mordayns must return it if
we can
Tal'Hur then spent a moment giving two knaves some richly
deserved dragon's breath before leaving...
TalHur: I am leaving now
TalHur: 'til the moons synch
TalHur: Then we shall meet again
TalHur: I thank thee
TalHur: If I see those other two mongbats again
TalHur: I will devour them whole
a spectre: Taaalhurrrr.... farrrewellll
TalHur: *smiles*
Vicktoria: tasty snack
TalHur: Farewell
And with that he left. Although we still have no clue as to the
fate of Rhysart's soul, surely its liberation has moved a step
closer tonight as a result of these events.
