DM:
|
Alright, this one won't be too long
|
|
thePeople:
|
I cant see anything?
|
|
thePeople:
|
ah there it is
|
|
DM:
|
yeah, a bit off from center
|
|
thePeople:
|
ok, well i guess im ready
|
|
thePeople:
|
oh yeah, did i heal all my helath
|
|
DM:
|
not yet. I'm actually going back to
the night before, despite what I said last session
|
|
DM:
|
it's during your shift, while
Earth-looker sleeps
|
|
thePeople:
|
anything else?
|
|
DM:
|
nope, I will start now
|
|
god:
|
You cannot run from me, Hunter!
|
|
Hunter:
|
I know that, you have been with me all
my life and i doubted that i could be rid of you so easily
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
I cannot run, however, as i am, i
doubt i can face you either, one day however, i will be stronger,
and with my brother, we will free my people from your grasp
|
|
god:
|
My sovergnty is good! I am God!
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
... I wasnt to believe you, i truly
do, I want to blieve that there is a kind god, always watching
over me, however, I have seen too much, I have seen that both your
bliss and your agony were lies, and that all the deed you wished
for me to commit were just done for your own wellbeing and
amusement. I can't believe in you anymore. I can't.
|
|
god:
|
You deny your creator, Hunter. You run
away from the one who raised you, who gave you all you have.
|
|
god:
|
And what of your family, Hunter?
|
|
DM:
|
damn you are taking a while to type...
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
You did not give me what i have, I
gained it with my own will, you have only made me commit actions
that i now regret deeply. And don't you cdare touch my family, if
you do, I sear that me and my companions will bring pains upon you
a thousand fold of what you give them
|
|
thePeople:
|
sorry, something weird was going on
with the window where you type, and i was considering how hunter
would awnser the trhreat, not sure i did it right though
|
|
god:
|
You are blinded by your pride, Hunter.
You can never de-throne the ruler of all that is.
|
|
god:
|
Have you even considered why I sent
you to this cave?
|
|
thePeople:
|
what was that womans name again?
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
Do not lie, you did not bring me here,
the Wishmaster did, she brought us here so that we can help peopl,
and one day, after I become stronger, she will help us dethrone
you you false god. If you were truly almighty, then my brother and
i would have never been able to escape your bliss and agony
|
|
god:
|
I allowed you to leave, as a test of
your faith, Hunter.
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
WELL THEN I HAVE FORSAKEN IT, I do not
believe you anymore, I can't believe that a kind god would make up
a fake hell and heaven where they could make real ones instead
|
|
Earth Looker:
|
Ahhh!
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
Brother, brother it's ok, im here,
wake up, it's just a dream
|
|
|
Earth Looker:
|
I dreamed of Agony, brother.
|
|
|
Earth Looker:
|
I was there again!
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
No, you will never be back there, for
as long as i live, i will make sure that you never have to return
to that place.
|
|
|
Earth Looker:
|
How can you ever be sure of that?
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
... I can't, yo be completely honest,
I can't, but I will try, I wll do everything i can to stop you
from being forced back into agony, and even if I can't I am sure
that wish crafter will aid us as well.
|
|
|
Earth Looker:
|
I can only hope so, but don't forget
that we are fighting God himself.
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
No, this isn't a god, what we are
fighting is merely a mad man, who calls himself such. He may be,
no he is incredibly powerful, but brother, we aren't weak either,
and we are onlygetting stronger, while he has probably long since
grown content with his power. We also have wishcrafter at our
side, she has pwer that might even be close to rivaling his. It
might be hard, but we will fight him, we will free our people, and
we will never again be his slaves
|
|
|
Earth Looker:
|
But he can control all those people in
the afterlife. He rules all of wrieph with his power. He can
teleport us to anywhere in the wastes. He can see into our minds,
brother!
|
|
|
Earth Looker:
|
What if he really is the master of
everything, but God is just evil?
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
If that was true, then we would have
never been able to escape, if that was true, do you think that
agony and bliss would only exist in our own mind. No, i am sure
that if he was the true master he would be capable of far greater
horrors, and that we would already be his mindless slaves,
however, were not, so therefore, we must assume that he is not
God, remember that brother, because if you put him in such a
position of power, then you will only open yourself to his control
onc more
|
|
|
Earth Looker:
|
You are right.
|
|
|
Earth Looker:
|
How about you take your rest now. I
need some time to think.
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
Thanks brother, I guess i should rest
before the big day tommorow, and remember, we can do this, us
brothers, side by side, will be unstoppable
|
|
DM:
|
just then, Whisper and Echo form
|
|
Whisper:
|
We bring two gifts from our master.
|
|
|
Echo:
|
Gifts
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
What are they?
|
|
|
Whisper:
|
The first are this bow and this axe.
|
|
|
Echo:
|
a weapon
|
|
DM:
|
whisper hands you a bow, and
Earth-looker a greataxe
|
|
DM:
|
the bow is of whatever type you want.
It is also a +2 Merciful bow
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
can it be a +3 composite long bow, and
does merciful mean it can only do non lethal damage, or does it
mean i can choose to do it
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
without penalty
|
|
DM:
|
merciful deals and extra 1d6, and all
of it is non-lethal, but this can be turned off, making it just a
+2 composate +3 bow
|
|
thePeople:
|
ok, i guess i'll usually be doing the
non lethal than, and then if i really need to kill an ememy i can
just coupde grace them later
|
|
|
Whisper:
|
Your other gift is a lesson in the
speach of those you will save tomorrow.
|
|
|
Echo:
|
a toung
|
|
|
Whisper:
|
You will need to learn how to speak
with them as best you can.
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
Is there some magic that will aid us,
because i imagine it will be difficult to learn a whole new
language in a mere day?
|
|
|
Whisper:
|
We will teach you some phrases. It
will be enough for now. We will be present to speak to them as
well.
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
Thank you
|
|
DM:
|
Ok, note these, as these are the only
phrases you will know in this tounge:
|
|
DM:
|
"The wishmaster is your salvation"
|
|
DM:
|
"Fear not, you are saved"
|
|
DM:
|
"I, too, have been saved by the
wishmaster"
|
|
DM:
|
"You must follow me to fort highpeak"
|
|
DM:
|
"There, we will be saved"
|
|
thePeople:
|
Do i understand what any of these mean
at all?
|
|
DM:
|
yes, you know all of their meanings
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
Wait, isn't there a good cahnce that
they might take these phrases as meaning that she is some kind of
goddess?
|
|
|
Whisper:
|
What do you mean?
|
|
|
Echo:
|
Explain...
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
Well most people would associate
someone talking constantly about salvation and being saved as
being some sort of preacher for a god or goddess, but, I guess it
shoudl not matter, I guess any confusion will be cleared when we
reach the fort
|
|
|
Echo:
|
Clarity...
|
|
|
Whisper:
|
You must remember, Hunter, that these
are scared people, just as you were not long ago. They do not need
complex explainations. They need hope.
|
|
|
Echo:
|
Hope.
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
Very well, I guess that sometimes such
measures may be the best, as long as all things become cleared up
in time
|
|
|
Whisper:
|
Good night, you two.
|
|
DM:
|
they deform into worms and crawl off
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
Well, on that note, I guess I will go
to be notw brother, though i guess now you can spend the night
admiring that fine new axe you just received, lets hope that
tommorow will turn out well
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
go to bed*
|
|
|
Earth Looker:
|
Goodnight
|
|
DM:
|
It is nothing like your sleep in
bliss, of course, but somehow, this stone floor is far more
restfull than any imaginary bed ever was in that place.
|
|
DM:
|
You awake in the morning, to find
Earth-looker missing.
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
Brother, where are you?
|
|
god:
|
He has returned to me, Hunter...
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
What? You took him, you, you bastard.
How dare you.
|
|
god:
|
He came to me of his own free will,
Hunter. He saw the truth.
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
I... I promised him that i wouldnt let
him return to agony, I have to tell the wishcrafter, she should be
able to help.
|
|
thePeople:
|
that order didn't turn out well
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
You lie, Brother wouldn't return to
you, why would he after all you ad done to him. GOd damn, you and
your tricks
|
|
god:
|
You lie to yourself, Hunter. I mearly
spoke to your brother, and he saw that he deserved my justice.
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
God damn it, sadly, In this case i
might even believe you, he was so scared of what you had done to
him and probably feared even more retribution. But, I know that
this doesn't mean that life will be good to him now, you are a
being willing to betray another and stab them in their back after
they were willing to follow you to even thier own graves
|
|
god:
|
You will see oneday that my reward is
the best there is for you. Untill then, I will await your return.
|
|
|
Hunter:
|
I will get him you bastard, I'll free
him from your grasp, I'll free everyone, One day, one day yor
reign will end, and it will be because of your own arrorgance and
because of those you have wronged
|

|

Hunter:

I train my body and exercize my self
to prepare for the evening and to train myslef further for when we

|
|

Then this is session.
