Master sets us on a course towards The Blood Ward, but along the way the is a manor and an armory we have heard of and this may be a good stop. We make it as far as the docks, where the harbor is destroyed, and a vortex of destruction blocking the way. Master advises we all take the long way around, in order to keep Miss Amrith safe, a noble choice.
Along the path my nose starts to pick up something rotten, and I can hear bleating, what twisted form of goat is this, better not touch this. I bring the shadows about us so (6/8 ki) we can remove ourselves from this scenario when Varta, the blockhead, yells out in greeting. It seems they know him, I can see the resemblance, they both have too much dirty hair and fill their bodies with trash. After Lady Elya explains they could be trapped elves and Miss Amrith scares them into leaving... Varta will have none of it though, dancing motes of light into their path.
At this point Master has had enough of this and goes to skewer these creatures, as they wrap them in thorns and tear them apart. Varta does something to separate out the infestation from whatever is left of this elf. I don't understand how they worry about these lowly creature when this creature waits to play with its food. Finally it takes off after the group, and I can strike, though it is clearly native to the skies and is able to avoid most of the strikes, I couldn't cut off his flow of energy (5/8 ki). I must stop this creature, his energy (4/8 ki) must stop, I watch my prey plummet to the ground and present its skull for me to crush.
Off in the distance Master runs towards Lady Liam, who should not be here at all, and is being chased by another miscreant. I will stop this creature (3/8 ki) the moment I determine its form. Finally this thing is pinned (2/8 ki) but it put up one hell of a fight, but now it is nothing more than meat. As the Master stabs his lost love it transforms into some other form of hell spawn. They attempt to flee the fight, but we cannot have another hunter coming after Miss Amrith (1/8 ki) , but I am unable to stop them, and almost lose this gift in the process.
They are after the Ebon blade, and Miss Amrith think they wish to posses it.
