Leera Fenwick
Lighthouse
Leera stopped three quarters up the ladder, looking down. Morec's left hand was ready with ice magic; Zeeta was playing with her great axe. Both looked at the ready. A sudden creak in the timbers above made her look up. The hole was empty, but the creaking sound? Someone was up there.
Now came the time where she had to risk one thing or another. 'Protecting' herself from whoever was up there would be an easy task... They wouldn't know what hit them. That would blow her cover wide open, though. Decisions, decisions. If not...
She made her way up the rest of the ladder, stopping just beneath the opening. She popped her head up for just one second. Three men lunged for her, swinging clubs wildly. She ducked down the hole, lowering herself a suitable amount.
Now, one of the men crawled all the way to the opening and tried to strike her. After a deep sighing breath she threw herself at his arm, hanging on with both her hands and working her weakening magic into his body. Unless the other two held onto him, she would soon bring him down with her onto the floor - to Morec and Zeeta. She grinned evilly at the man, pleased with her silly proceedings. This was actually way more entertaining...
And then they fell.

Mathias Straz
The Isle, Outland
"Well well well. Look at this." A voice said from behind Straz, and the human turned around, staring out from under his hood at a pair of people standing in front of him. One was a gnome, wearing the robes of a priest while the other was a dwarf in mail with a pair of short axes.
"Just give up elder." The dwarf said, sounding sad as he walked towards Straz. The human grinned, tilting his head.
"Am I suppose to be frightened of this?" He asked, grinning wider was the gnome flinched back from the harsh sound of his voice. "So, you are playing this game eh?" He said, as the dwarf stopped a foot and a half in front of him.
"Only because we want to live." The dwarf said, pulling his weapons free.
"I see." Straz said, making a clucking sound, before lashing out with his staff, cracking the dwarf across his face and knocking him back. He was already moving as the gnome yelled out a word and a beam of white streaked past the human, who pointed his staff at the short figure and hissed a word, black energy spiraling towards the gnome who barely dodged it.
"My nose! He broke my nose!" The dwarf yelled, and flicked a hand at the human, sending lightning arcing towards him. Straz continued to grin as he dodged the attack, then hissed another word. The dwarf got to his feet and threw one of his axes at Straz....and the weapon was stopped by a skeletal minion.
Others stepped out of the gloom and rattled towards the gnome, who blasted the undead with holy spells, trying to get to the dwarf.
Straz laughed to himself as he spun his hand in a circle, and an orb of shadow slammed into the gnome from behind, bouncing him across the ground as the skeletons fell on him, ripping and tearing.
The human howled as a blast him in the back, and he was sent rolling across the ground, throwing off his cloak. The dwarf let out a battle roar and jumped at the necromancer, swinging his remaining axe down at him...and the human blocked the attack with his arm; a limb made of green metal. "What the hell?" The dwarf asked in shock as Straz parried the attack and knocked his axe loose.
The human kicked his foot out and caught the dwarf in the knee, dropping him down and then lashed out and hit him in the face again. As the dwarf fell back, screaming as his nose was hit again, Straz got to his feet. He grunted and spoke a hissing word, having a pair of his minions grab the dwarf and hold him to the ground.
"First rule of hunting; know what you hunt." Straz said, summoning his staff to his metal hand. "Second rule; kill on sight." He growled, lifting the staff and slamming it down on the dwarf's ankle, shattering it. "Third rule; don't be stupid." He laughed as he rained blows on the dwarf, breaking joints and making him scream. After about a half hour of this, hitting him everywhere but his head and neck, the human crouched down by the dwarf and put his flesh and blood hand on his face. "Rule four: Don't %^&* with the necromancer." He said quietly, as he burnt the dwarf with shadow energy, sitting back on his heels while he watched him burn alive."Gonna have to find a new cloak." He said absently to his skeletons, who were standing around him, their bodies covered in blood from the mess that was all that was left of the gnome.

The man with the wolfish grin looked at a paladin and a death knight, beating whatever the hell was left of their lives out of eachother with swords and asorted energy blasts.
Never wear yourselves thin when theres a hunt.

Faust
Location:
The Isle
Two wisps of placid white began to rise from the corpse of the gnome and dwarf respectively, snaking listlessly into the air to hover over the bodies tentatively, like a parent, unsure how best to care for a weeping child.
They never saw the clawed hands form behind them. Jagged and bony, with errant wisps of the purple smoke which formed them drifting about like tattered cloth, or skin barely clinging to rotting bone. Neither errant soul realized what was happening until the hands suddenly swept forward to clutch them in a deathly grip, and slowly began to drag them down. With screams of such horror that no mortal throat could make, heard only by those accured to such things, the two souls writhed helplessly until they vanished amongst the stones of the tainted earth, leaving but echoes and a single puff of smoke like the end of a magicians trick.

Araia landed and returned to her humanoid form. "My name is Araia Flameleaf," she said. "Who are you?"
Character:
Morec, House of Rivendare
Location: The Lighthouse
Morec smiled at the sight of the falling trio, he'd have a chance to see what the other two were capable of. He fired out three spikes of ice, intentionally scewing their paths and faking a wave of recoil almost causing him to stumble backwards. He took his time lining up the shots, though, made sure it looked as though he honestly could not hit them.

Leera Fenwick
The Lighthouse
Leera landed on her feet with a not-so-feminine "oof." The man hit the ground next to her just a blink of an eye later, with nothing but a thud and a groan. She stepped back on unstable legs and glanced at the hatch above, where two people were looking down anxiously. She shot them a hateful look and showed a grin that only could mean "you just wait." This she obviously kept out of sight of her two 'allies'...
She saw that the ceiling above was impacted by icicles, and understood that Morec had shot them and missed. "What a worthless death knight," she thought to herself before putting on a more neutral face and turning towards them.
"He must've hit his head," she commented. The man was hardly moving, and if he was then he did litte but squirm. It was of course her work, but the others didn't need to know that. "You think you can hit him now?" she asked Morec a little mockingly. "Or do you want axe here to handle it?"
She nodded in Zeeta's direction. "I think I did my part..."

"And here's mine," Zeeta replied, hefting the axe above her head and bringing it down on the mans neck.
Character:
Gunter
Location:
Fallen Silo
"Hmm! Aha! Hail, fair maiden of the moon!" the human began, sheathing his hammer. "I am Gunter Soreson, aspiring paladin of the service to the most holy and loving Light! It is a pleasure to meet one wielding such holy flame as thee in such dark times and realms! Truly, it must be a sign of the most effervescent and pervading Light!" he said, approaching her with arms wide and a friendly smile.

"First blood!" cried Leera enthusiastically the moment Zeeta's axe cleaved the man's neck, focusing hard not to grin wide by the thrill of the hunt; that would be unsuitable considering how much she tried to conceal. "You're next!" she called up the hatch. She glared at Morec with an expectant look, urging him to make the next move.

Araia took a step back, her hands glowing with firey wrath. "I'd rather you kept your distance," she said.

Morec walked up to the man and slit his throat with his sword. "Quick and efficiant," he said simply.

Zeeta Bladebreaker
Location:

"What the!" Zeeta barked in surprise, taking a step back as wispy white smoke rose from the mans severed neck. The moment it coalesced, it was grasped by a skeletal hand of purple smoke, and dragged, screaming in a voice only those with an affinity for the necromantic could hear down into the earth.
Character:
Gunter
Location:
Fallen Silo
"Why?" he suddenly gasped. "Would my touch sully thine holy flames? A thousand pardons," Gunter apologized fervently, immediately taking a dozen steps back just in case he might somehow fall, chip his tooth, and said chip somehow bounce off the rocks and strike her.

Leera clasped her hands over her ears, trying to shield herself from the eardrum-shattering scream. It clouded her vision, dazing her and in a moment she found herself on all fours, panting deeply. "What the fel was that?"

Straz slowly blinked at the sight, tilting his head. The human grunted and moved over to the gnome's body, and drew a few symbols on it in blood, gaining control of the corpse and forcing it to it's feet. "Come along little puppet." He said and limped off, the staff thumping with each footstep. As he went, he felt another of those strange screams and grinned a little, then changed direction and headed towards the center of the landmass.

"Fascinating." Straz said, looking around the island as he went, seeing more and more dead buried away. "So many dead, yet so little echos of those who had been here before..." He mused, narrowing his eyes as he went. He stopped once and raised his staff then slammed it down onto the ground...but had no reaction here. Grunting, he continued on.

The tooth stung her skin, but did not otherwise harm her. She twitched a little at the pain, but nothing more. "You...," she hesitated to assume, "you are not going to kill me?"
Character:
Morec, House of Rivendare
Location: The Lighthouse
Morec shook his head. "Wasn't me," he said. "I don't know what could have caused that." Hmmm, he pondered silently, could this be another part of this "Faust"'s game? Was he collecting souls for some purpose? If such was the case, he would have to find out what and... assist with the opperation, possibly.

Straz reached the center of the island and looked around. He could sense both death energy and something else here, but could see nothing. Turning slowly in place, he continued to scan, trying to look deeper, to find the source of this place.

"Ancestors alive, what does it mean?" Zeeta asked, still staring at the corpse.
Character:
Faust Kaufman
Location:
The Isle
The usual energies inhabited the Isle, but there was an underpinning, something else beneath the stones, beneath the fel corruption of the place, something more ancient than the ruins of the isle or the energies which had torn it asunder from its mother world. There was something dark in the depths of the place, something which seemed to scream, to laugh, to cry, to gibber in insanity with the voice of legions.
Something looking back.

"Fascinating." Straz said, grinning as he sensed the presence turning it's focus on him. The necromancer pointed at one of his minions and ripped the energies holding it together out, seeing if the presence would strike at the corpse.
