a terrible thing


The Mad Professor, As you stand in line you hear a child scream off in the distance beyond the entrance to the gate. You see the dragon born at the gate rip off his coat and tear a wooden plank off the gate, he takes off running towards the scream. Most of the others around you are standing there looking confused, some annoyed, no one seems like they are running to assist. Sheamus runs past you with his weapon out, “saying thats my queue”.

Yougotnick: You hear a child scream off in the distance

High Queen of Skyrim: You see a cloaked figure appear and grab the boy. The boy immediately screams for help. The cloaked figure takes off towards the dark forest. Most seem to be standing around doing nothing to help.

Lachlan Rocksoul: As you stand up to exit the tent you see a little boy around three years old standing looking out of a rip in the tent. His mother is not paying attention chatting away with another women. You see a cloaked figure appear out of nowhere and grab the boy. The cloaked figure takes off running, some people in the tent look horrified, but no one is stepping up to do anything. The boy starts screaming and you see the horror etched on his face.

  4. High Queen of Skyrim, the cloaked figure stops and turns to you, you see bright green eyes looking at you from under the hood, you see that the creature does not have hands but has paws, one of them appears to be on backwards. She says "what is this boy to you?" "He is mine now, he shall serve me" you see her put a claw to the boys throat, you see a little bit of bright red blood as the boy struggles to get free he is moving his neck against the claw "or he shall die"... "your choice". with pleasure in her voice she says "all it would take is one swipe"

    LachlanRocksoul: as you get closer you hear a female voice say what is spoken above.

    The Mad Professor. You see that the figure has stopped and is facing the dragon born speaking with her.

  5. The Dragonborn strengthens her grip on her axe and says to the cloaked figure, "Fight me first! If you can slay me then the boy is yours!"

  7. High Queen of Skyrim:

    With a smile in her voice she says "Why would I fight you when there is no need? The boy is already mine. However, to show I do have some compassion, I am willing to sell the boy to you for say, 10 thousand gold pieces"

    And to show you I am not afraid to hurt the boy, she takes her claw and swipes gently at the boy's cheek,blood begins to pour, he lets out a cry, and says "Help me, I want my mommy" She then puts her claw back at his throat.

  8. Tybor holds up his hands. "Okay. Everyone relax. There is no need for anyone to get hurt. Tell us what you want with the boy."

  9. LachlanRockSoul: she says "I am in need of a new servant, children make great servants"

  10. "Aye. That they do, for small things. But, someone like myself would be able to handle anything you need done. Take me instead of the child and I promise to serve you until you no longer need me."

  11. Lanora's eyes narrow in anger at the harm done to the boy. She readies to call down Moradin's Judgement (Thunder of Judgement encounter) to push the figure away from the child at the first moment it appears the figure's grasp on the boy wavers.

  13. LachlanRocksoul and High Queen of Skyrim she looks between you two. "I am sure you would make a wonderful servant, however I think this boy will be more moldable" "Well this has been fun, I must be off, if you want to buy the boy back you can leave a message for me with the pixies in the dark forest, seek the one who calls himself Antonio."

    she looks up, I am ready my Goddess, she and the boy vanish....

  14. Tybor shakes his head and turns towards Lanora and the Dragonborn. "Well, lasses, looks like we are off to the dark forest."

  15. Lanora nods grimly in agreement. "Aye...clearly this cannot be allowed to stand." She looks around at those still meekly waiting in line. "I don't suppose any of ye know anything about that child stealer?" Figuring not, she turns back to those few who showed the gumption to object. "I be Lanora Spirit-talker, Invoker of Moradin. If ye are of a mind to take chase, I be with ye. By Moradin's Hammer, we shall rescue the lad from durance vile. Whether we face foes few or many, none can withstand the fury of Moradin"

    (OOC: Her powers are mainly ranged bursts and blasts and, in the case of her encounters and dailies, the more creatures targeted, the more damage she does to each.)

  16. The Dragonborn looks over at the Dwarf and says, "I am Sora Stormcaller, the mightiest of Barbarians! My axe will taste blood this day for the kidnapping of that innocent boy! To the forest with us!"

  17. Tybor nods to his two companions. "The name is Tybor Gunderslash. I carry a glaive and welcome the chance to cleave that little beasty in two."
