(if its not the same thing, she doesn't hesitate to remove it, i'd thought it was for some reason *shrug*)

Janvier nods "It was evil, now it seems content to only be annoying. i cast it away once when it sought to control me, only to have it reappear. it causes no harm now, so i will leave it alone if it stays benign. taints fade, it is not who i am, nor who i will become. I am Janvier, a locksmith currently employed by the crown as an investigator, though i certainly wasn't looking for all this trouble tonight. Aiding you was an honor, it seems you have great purpose here and are a capable and decent leader of men, your loss would certainly been a blow against us all." she replies with serious honesty.

OOC Understandable... she'd be wary of most new items trying to avoid another cursed object.

The barbarian keeps out of the fleeing robes' way and pursues after them. Perhaps these are the ones who bring taint into the world. Their pack leader may be dead, but another will soon rise. So to his ability the human animal tracks/ follows the cultists to their den/ hide out/ fall back place...whereever they go. If discovered during his tracking than he retreats to start tracking anew, or fights off any assailants to make a tactical retreat and pick up the trail anew.

The cultists fall back through the cities, through several dark alleyways and there is one major thing that you feel as you go. Something is fishy in the heart of this city. Then they pile into a man-hole anmd the last one leaves the man-hole cover open. Their robes all depict the same image. It is of a grand skull with two floating red lights planted in its depths. You do not recognize it at all.

The barbarian waits outside of the hole, in some hidden spot like ontop of one of the buildings or from a distance of at least 50-ft away from the hole. He watches the hole waiting, listening for anything that may happen. He knows better than to dive into another creatures lair. To all his knowledge it could be a trap. The barbarian waits and watches this end of the rabbit hole, keeping his senses up for any other movement in the alleys in case the other hole(s) is/are close by. He will wait here for hours...until either something pops up (including sunrise) or someone comes through the alley to disturb him.

(((For now I am going to be playing a big waiting game...so dont expect much action even if you throw something at me. Fight or Flight...if there is a place to flee to he wont fight.)))

Aradin looked to the locksmith.
"She does seem to act of good intentions, though when she picked up the dagger there did seem to be a change over her. Still, as she said she seemed to break that hold. The thing is, I thought that dagger had been destroyed when it was droped later."

Krovvair looked intensely at Aradin, then at Janvier, then at the dagger. "You are lucky it did not simply sieze control of your body... and you... my priestly friend... are lucky she did not stab you in the back with that blade. It is a Soulshard... one of 7 weapons holding the souls of the original seven heroes and villains involved in the Great Wars 500 years ago. The dagger is said to house the soul of a greedy burglar lord, who coveted gems and fine art unto the end of his days... he died defending these coveted items from a mob of people... and... as he died, his body was turned to ash, and so was his dagger. the metal and his soul fused together, creating this dagger. If you wish to destroy it... there is but one way..." He looked off into the distance at a mountain peak on the horizon, "You must immerse both yourself and the dagger in lava, letting it destroy the two of you, and you, yourself, will then become a Soulshard on the other side of the process. I, myself carry a Soulshard, in my sword, which holds the soul of Falmor the Grand, the first known paladin of Pelor."

Aiden frowned.
"So there is no viable way to be rid of the acursed thing... yours however does not seem so bad if it is the soul of a ritious man."
He tilted his head.
"The thought that comes to me though is if it this dagger is part of the soul of this burglar, was he a fallower of the nameless one given the symble on it?"

DungeonMaster · #89 (**permalink**) 12-23-2007, 03:05 PM

The paladin held up his mace, which had the sybol also imbued upon the head. "The symbol is sent of the Unholy One as part of the curse. Only when all seven Soulshards are brought together and then destroyed can any of the souls truly be free.

Janvier... you feel the presence of a large stockpile of gems moving at a reasonable speed somewhere off to your left, you believe it about 20 or so feet away.

Janvier quickly looks in that direction, trying to see if its a cultists with stolen goods.

"That hardly seems like a fair trade...."she says distractedly in response to the mans description of how to destroy the blade in lava, "Is there something over there? The dagger seems to think there's gems, the greedy burglar lord in action no doubt." She points in the direction of the gems.
