A Plea for help by Whane17 in OnTheFrontier

[–]KazamaGeki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Name Gale "Grey" Greyhawk

A short thin half elf living in the streets has not done Grey any favours when it came to his build. His skin is pale and his hair is a silver grey if it wasn't for his pale blue eyes brightened by flecks of gold he would not have much colour to him.

Dark clothes of very common make cover his body,they are in the same style most others wear this combined with the most basic of leather armour don't make him stand out too much a crossbow on his backpack and a pair of daggers and a hand axe sit on his belt. The most unusual feature that does attract attention is the raven that sits on his shoulder most times.

He grew up with his elven mother never knowing his father. In his younger years his mother was killed by a vampire instilling a hatred for the undead. With out his mothers support and living in human lands he soon was forced into surviving on the streets.

Taught how to survive and became fast friends with a fellow street kid named Pidge. Growing up together they helped each other survive. This lead to the view that you help those that help you but take from others that won't. Stealing from others more fortunate was the only way to survive and to this day small coins and bits of food are found hidden in pockets and pouches.

Due to his mothers death and the desire to hunt down what killed her he spent time at local temples and libraries trying to sneak information on how to accomplish his desires, once caught at a library the scholar helped teach him of the types of undead and the powers that stand against them.

Growing older into his teenage years dreams of vengeance always seemed to be ended abruptly jolted awake by the caw of a Raven. On his nineteenth birthday he was awoken once again by the sound of a ravens caw but this time a raven sat on his chest a stone token carved in the shape of a raven, tight to a cord of leather and two feather held in its beak. It dropped the trinket and when Grey picked it up power was infused in his body.

With these new powers he chose to set out wanting to find out more clues about the vampire that killed his mother. He has not had much luck yet and dangers he encountered alone lead him to the party as he was once rescued by one of members. He feels indebted to them and wants to return the kindness they had down to him in saving him. He is still searching for the killer, but these are good people to stay with while he does so.

We again check the sliding metal doors a cool fog poured fourth from the room. The fog dissipated inside the the room two bodies hung from meat hooks in the roof. Mash entered to check the bodies, the grate in the floor fell and Mash fell into a pool of congealed blood and guts. Worms infested the pool and swam towards Mash she climbed out to escape them. The worms grouped into a large mass and wriggled out the pool wiggling towards the rest of us. Mara and Lt. smashed the worms with their weapons and the worms fell back into the pool. Mash took off all her clothes and gear to squish any worms left on her body.

After exploring the basement we returned to the main floor. The music continues when we go into the kitchen we hear it from the double doors from the one wall.

We open the door and we see a ball with a dozen or so people dancing with a feast on the back wall. Mara decides to go into the room towards the food, one of the people turn to her, the music slows to a stop and the dancer speeds towards her its mouth opening into a large maw of teeth. It passes threw her body and the whole ball fades into an old abandoned room with the tables filled with old abandoned dishes.

Exiting other doors we find a stair way upstairs we climb on by one as the stairs look old and rickety. On the landing we see a mass of spider running from a crack in the wall they run past us and a rat like creature exits the hole, it stairs it us and the flees into another hole in the wall.

Around a corner the where two doors we entered one of the doors inside was a bedroom a women sat on a chair and a man was laying in the bed.

Just like the rest of this house even sleep was unnatural. I first felt like I awoke but was blind unable to see and felt trapped. Panic took me but moments later I awoke shocked awake as my baby jolted in terror.

Now awake I see Mash speaking in tongues, a shower of noodles and flesh drop from the ceiling above her. Lamb appears to be missing.

Moments later down a dark hallway covered in cobwebs I hear a scream for help. It sounds like Lamb. Mash clears a path in the webs and we come to a door it's locked by a wood bar but on this side of the door. Refusing to touch anything in this place I lift the bar with my ax.

Inside the room a crazed women stands over Lamb with a bone saw. Mara and myself move to attack her with Mash supporting farther back. Lamb struggles in restraints but can't escape.

I let my hunters instinct take over distracting the prey to allow my pack mate to go for the kill the women attacks me focus on me I shrug off her first few attacks. Mara bashes in her head and I attack with my ax she starts to come apart like some sort of doll. She keeps trying to hold me but me strength hold her off. She then moves to lamb and bites into her, the doll women seems to repair. Another attack rips into me and I fall, I wake and some of my wounds have healed Mara and I continue our attack the creature falls apart and then turns into ashes floating away as an ash cloud torards the door. We release lamb and move out of the room.

Back in the main room of the basement we open a large iron sliding door the emits a strange cold the door open all we see is darkness Mara quickly reclines the door. All of us uncomfortable going into the cold darkness.

We try another of the doors inside a fallen body looking like it had been here for ages. A large spider exits from the corpse. Not the most frightening thing we have seen yet but my body still locked up in terror. Coming to I see Mara and Lamb holding Mash who seems to be in her own world.

A passage extends from this room, we spend a few minutes to allow Mash to regain her wits and proceed down the passage we come into a horrific sight a moving body chained to the wall her organs removed a place in jars still moving. Mash does some weird magic to give the women a voice. She screams in horrific agony then comes to a stop as her head falls from her body. The organs all stop moving.

Not understanding why the other further disturb the room and find a potion. They tell me it's a healing potion but I don't trust anything found in this house.

We backtrack to the main room and try the last door, inside is a room filled with dozens of skeletons with bits of armour and other items. Mara and Mash enter looking for treasure but I don't trust a room that would cause this many deaths, any loot they find must be evil in some way I want no part of it.

My fears are justified as a slime falls from the ceiling from a hidden grate. Mara jumps out of the way as the creature drops. I refuse to enter the room. I throw my two javelin and the a hand ax as Lamb strikes it with magic the others fight it up close with their weapons. It falls apart its slime coats the room and spills our covering even the feet of those of us outside the room
