Blade Dance.

*Thinks to himself*
“I remember an Elf....held twin swords an he was cloaked in green. He was an excellent fighter.”

*One night in Cloakwood two figures spinning, and slashing while green scales are covered in crimson.. The dark night held flashes of steel as four blades whirl in a dance of keen edges.*

“Aaghhh” *Stabs with a dagger*

“hhhaa” *Elven blade crosses over the dagger.*

*A rapier comes in stabs low.*

*Another Elven blade whirls around entwined with the rapier hacking a reptilian head.*

*Four blades supporting each other, getting each others back..countering after countering.*

*A dance of shiny flashes..a spray of wet crimson.*

*One Blade always countering the next. With one stab, come a block, with a block comes a counter, with a counter, comes a slash..followed by a pierce, then the cycle repeats until only two are left standing...and four blades..idling*

*Both elf and human panting*

“Our blades combine well with each other’s.”

“Never again will I neglect a humans ability to fight..as you have made me come to respect such.”

“We danced..my fair friend..our prey cannot handle four blades that attack two to four times each.”
“Aye....I am out of arrows..my quiver runs dry.”

“Indeed mine as well.”

“Shall we go to town to refill our quivers?”

“Nay..we should continue the dance of blades.”

*Grins* “Arrows will come later.”

*Again, four blades dance in the night. Yet if it can be seen closely it looks almost as if there is eight blades..*

Learning.

*Speak to himself*

"How is it my little friend that you are so deadly? Funny how you are so small..yet people fear you. Not I ..little one...nay ...I will use you!... In fact I need you...You have something that I want.."

*Speaks to it as it try's to scuttle off.*
"No..don't go my little friend!...I will not harm you...it is other's that I will harm..with something you have."

"Do you want to go back with your brothers and sisters? No? ...I like you as well...I admire your armour...your weapons..your.....essence. Like you I prefer the two weapons in each hands..hmm in a way we are alike.."

"And I like how you use the third weapon...*Grins*...oh I like you my little friend..I will keep you and care for you well."

"You will teach me, and you will help me understand. I will learn from you."

Changing.

*Kneeling in the shadows from a building located in the East District, the Hooded figure thinks about his deeds since the mans arrival here in Baulder’s Gate.*

*Thinking*
“Still short, I will need as bigger purse to purchase all the supplies and equipment that I need.”

*Grunts*
“These pathetic weapons are running dull!!” *Throws the weapons against the ground.*

*Sits back against the wall and lets himself slide to the ground. Then he pulls out a little black box with small holes alone the top of the lid.*

*He opens the box and looks at the small black scorpion moving around in agitation as if it feels the mans moods.*

“Aye my little one, it is because of you that my blades cause harm to my prey.”

*He carefully picks up the scorpion and with his fingers he extracts some poison from its tail into a small glass vial. He then places the scorpion back in the box and closes the lid.*

Image

*He raises the vial to his lips..and tastes the poison.*

*Grunts*

*Shakes his head and tilts his head back. Feeling the warm poison trickling down in throat.*

*He waits.*

*Thinking that since he still lives, he concludes that he is becoming more tolerant to the effects of the poison.*

*He stands up..and picks up his dagger..Then carefully applies some poison to the blade. He waits till it dries a little before putting the dagger back in its sheath. He picks up the rapier and sheath it as well*

*His anger is calmed...he relaxes and takes a deep breath. Then moves stealthy around the town..looking for someone.....*

First Prison Visit.

*As he was walking past the Flaming Fist Head Quarters, he thinks back in time when someone he knew was in prison.*


“Who are you and what business do you have here?”

“Um good morning kind Sir, I wish to visit a prisoner here name Aggribael Greysheyme by way of visitation rights.”

“Hmm..hold on I will need to speak with my superiors,”

“Oh thank you kind Sir.” *Bows*

*The Guard comes back after speaking with a higher ranking officer.*

“You have 10 minutes to see the prisoner and then you leave.” *In an angry tone*

*Humbly* “Oh thank you kind Sir, I thank you very much indeed Sir I will make sure that it doesn’t last longer that 10 minutes.”

“Very well follow me.”

“Yes ...kind Sir.”

*As they walk down into a lower level the Jailor stopped them*

“What do you want.”

“This man is here to see a prisoner.”

“Oh yeah, which one?”

“His name be Aggribael Greysheyme Sir.”

*The Jailor raised and eyebrow* “Oh that one eh? A lot of people wishing to see that one. This way follow me.”

*Scanning the prisons west wing one would notice the disgusting unkept cells, with mattered dirt and grim along the walls. The odor was just as bad..almost as if prisoners never take a shower.*

*As they reached the last cell on the left, the Jailor kicked on the cell door making a irritating sound that had the other prisoners grinding their teeth.*

“Hey pig! Get up..you have a visitor.”

*As the man name Bael sat up and walked over to the cell door, the Jailor turned to leave down the hall.*

“Hey you!” *The Jailor looks to the visitor.* “No funny stuff!”

*Sel nods, then turns to face Bael*

*Mockingly* “My my my....is it rather cozy in there?”

*With a surprised look.* “Sel?......what are you doing in here?”

“Tsk..tsk..tsk....I came to ask you the same question...what’s this rumor of you assaulting someone and extortion..and kidnaping? Why I thought you the mercenary..*Smiles*...looks to me that your not that good after all.”

“It’s a long story...I don’t want to be bothered.”

“Oh but I have been given 10 minutes with you and I will see it through..besides...if I knew what befell you I might just be able to help you..for something that is.”

“Name your price..I’ll give you the gold when I’m out!”

“No..no...you misunderstand me..I don’t want your money.*Smiles*.

“What do you want then?”

“I have a job coming up..and I may need your help to complete such...help me..help you so that you can help me..*Grins*

*Sound of footsteps made them turn to see the Jailor approaching.*

*The Jailor stares at the visiting man.* “Just checking...no funny stuff eh.?”

*While bowing he speaks quickly.* “Oh no kind Sir..I was just asking him if he needed anything to eat...he looks rather thin.”

*The Jailor smirked and turned around to speak with the Fist member.*

“Okay Sel what do you need..name it?”

“Umm I need to know how may I get you out? And your word that you will assist me in my task.”

“What you need me to kill someone?”

*Sarcastically* “My my...I don’t think your in a position to speak of such..”*Chuckles*

*Stares hard* "Beside, I don't think I'd be asking you to help with something, that which I can do on my own."

*Bael signals Sel to come closer to the cell and whispers in his ears.*
*After the whispered discussion Sel steps back and turns to leave.*

*Raising his voice he says.* “Bael could you do me a big favor?”

“What is it?”

*Mockingly smiling* “Could you ppleasee take a bath..your stench is ruining my sense of smell mind you.” *With that footstep and a humming tune was heard leaving the last cell on the left*

*Thinks now in the present day, he whispers to himself.*
“Funny how I find out that someone else helped you before I did. Good my friend..Bael you are good indeed.” *Grins*

Changing Part II


*Feeling very agitated and angry, he storms through the dark street keeping within the shadows..he crosses a street..a beggar comes up to him..about to ask for coins with the gestures of cupping his hands out palms up.*

*Instead of ignoring him or giving the poor man something, he reached out with his right hand an grabbed the beggar by the throat pulling him down to his left side while towering over the beggar, panting...panting....slowly...panting.*

*In a harsh quiet voice ((stealth specialist)), he say’s,*
“Know that your foolishness to approach me this night will be the cause of loosing your life!”

*Still in shock from the quick takedown, eyes wide in terror as he looks upon a man in a hood with emerald color eyes......He stutters with tears filling his own eyes afraid that the hooded man will kill him.* “Ppplease...ppplease ddon’t kill mme....I’m jjust hhungry.....I hhaven’t eeaten in ttwo ddays...."

*The hooded man with emerald color eye’s..sneered.. then quickly spins forth his dagger laced with scorpion venom and raises the blade high for the killing blow....*

*Time slowed......
The air was still....
There was a sound with no sound...
The Blade held high...
The Flash of remembrance......................
....When he was hungry...cold...scared and dirty.........locked in a prison cell.............his mother was sick at home.............she was dying..............he was not there.............he was confined.
He frowned...
The thought of a cold blooded murder was not his way....not without reason...this beggar...had no reason to die by the hands of him..


He screamed* “AAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!” *Looking down on the beggar who was already close to death by the sheer sight of the dagger before him...he spoke.*

“Get out of my face...and if I see you again I will kill you by thinking you a spy!” *Grabs the beggar by the collar and throws him forward.* “Now Move!!”

*The beggar stumbling as he was pitch forward silently gave thanks to the Goddess of luck for letting him live this day.*

*The other figure was already sipping the poison from his vial..in hopes to calm his nerves.*

The poison flows and does its job by calming me...however...even gaining a high resistence to it doesn’t mean there are no side effects. What is the side effect that I feel? What does it do to me? At that moment in time I didn’t know........*Grins*

IN TOO DEEP.

*Leans on a wall under the shadows by the gates. Watching the two Fist guards sleep standing up.*

*Speaks to himself in a whisper*

"So easy...like eggs waiting to be snatched by a snake."

"Times have changed. I am hardly the same man I once was. Things are much more the same however. It seems that ever since my mysterious trip to the Underdark..something has awakened me."

*Thinks about t his moment in the Underdark.*

*He wakes up in the Fungue plane to meet the God of Death.*

*Speaks to himself*

"Damn fool I am to trek alone that path! I should have turned around when the undead tried to swarm me!"

*Angry at himself.*
"Well lets see if the God of Death will take me!"

*As he was about to pass the bridge in the fungue plane, He felt himself feeling transparent*

*Suddenly he was ported in a dark cave filled with what it looks to be never ending tunnels.*

*He looks around thinking himself in Hags caves. Quickly he jumped in the darkest of shadows. *

“Whoever was the prankster that teleport me to here will suffer dearly. That is one game I do not tolerate. Magicians and their tinkering with magic!”

*Panting and darting his eyes left and right. He looks around and from remembering hearing the tales in taverns, he knew he was in the Underdark.

*Carefully he faded into the shadow’s...not wanting to be seen by anything, he remembered when someone once said that stealth is his defense*.

*He looks around and see a several tunnels, he chooses the right. And decided to stay going right. Slowly creeping along the walls of the tunnel concentrates completely on sound.*

*He comes across an open area with the tallest mushrooms he’s ever seen. He waits and scan the area looking for signs of a possible threat...non noted. He continues the trek..suddenly he hears some sort of crawling sound....He crouches and looks around..using his ears to determine the direction of the sound.....too late a fast movement along the wall quickly rushes his way...he steps back and ready his blades..*

*His eyes widen at seeing some sort of large insect coming forth as a predator....Not knowing what manner of creature it was he tumble to the side...getting back on his feet..he strikes with his rapier and lands a piercing hit, however the creature only hissed....it lunged forward to take a bite with its insect like fangs..Sel successfully dodges the bite and unleashes a four hit combination...dealing death to the creature..*

“What from the nine hells are you?” *He’s says to the dead creature.*

A Gift for a name or was the name needed?

“Why do you want a name?”

“Just to fill my curiosity. Here take a look at this....give me the name and you may have this.”

*He inspects the dagger seeing the quality of the blade..he is impressed that this person would so easily give up such for a simple name. He admires the blade...however if give he would seek a smithy to change the appearance..for the style of the weapon will not balance well in his hand.*

“Very nice indeed. Very well follow me into the corn fields”

*They walked into the heart of the fields pushing pass the stalks and upsetting the crows..when he stopped he made a sudden movements with his arms then the area suddenly became shrouded in darkness.*

“What’s with that?”

“I care not or others eyes nor ears”...”You wished a name fine you will be given a name the name is ....” *He whispers the name in the persons ear*

*Standing shocked...the replay was ....* “I don’t know if I’m suppose to be amused or insulted.” *Narrow eyes can been seen under the hood.*

“Insulted no...do not be...I shall not compare in such a way.” “You misunderstood my meaning”

“How so?”

“That is for another time...I gave you your name. Wasn’t that what you wanted.”

“Yes you are correct here” *A hooded figure held out the dagger as to complete the deal.*

“I will take this as a gift from you and insure that it is put to good use.”

*The two hooded figures only stayed long enough to give a nod to each other and then departed.*

In Too Deep Part 2

*As he continue further in to the Underdark his eyes came upon a Goblin more foul than that of the ones up above.*

*He did the one thing he knew how to do...he stalked. He continued to stalk until he came to an understanding that these goblins will not lead him to the surface......He attacked..the goblin not even seen the threat coming forth..it only had a chance to blink before a blade was pruding from its neck...Sel allowed it to fallow slowly for he didn’t want to alert any others.*

*He continue his path slipping past more goblins and only killing the ones alone. As he came a cross a fork of a path he heard something that made his heart skip a beat...........As he turn to look from where the sound was coming from..he saw an Ogre.*

*Large and nasty it was with a beard as long as a dwarfs...He kept still watching the Ogre head into a room.*

*He snuck close enough to see that the Ogre was guarding a chest...wanting to see what may be in the chest he snuck closer..closer...closer......the Ogre only had a chance to see a human face before it took its final breath, after a second smile was given across its neck.*

*He check to see if the chest was trapped....it was..swiftly with ten seconds it was disabled. And another 10 for the chest to be picked....He opened it and found a strange belt inside...he’s never seen such a belt..he decided to wear it for it must be something special to guarded as such.*.

*As he was about to make his way out of the room.....whoosh...A club was in motion towards his face...he ducked quick enough to dodge the blow..tumbling back he raised his dagger and sword at the ready....”Damn” *he said. Thinking quickly he cast a glob of darkness to blind the Ogre that was storming in the room. The Ogre was blind and swinging wildly......he step back and waited for the perfect timing..for he was use to fighting blind...then he knew...

*Time slowed.....
Darkness hung in the air....
The downward motion of the Ogres swing.......
The wind without sound.....
The blade slicing through the air....
The sword hit home...*

Continue part 3 later

In Too Deep Part 3

*Blood sprayed across the rooms splashing out of the cloud of darkness against the wall of the damp cave. ..The Ogre howled in pain...Sel jumped back and hugged the shadows for it was his best tactic.*

*Holding his breath as much as possible he crept out of the room.....too late...he heard the footsteps...he turned an made a run for it....goblins and Ogres was on his tail....he ran through a series of rooms an tunnels to find a way out..but he was lost.*

*When it looked like he lost them he moves slowly again...down another tunnel...that’s when he saw....
someone.*

*It looked like a Gnome or a Hin. He crept slowly ..since the stranger was busy going through his travel pack...Sel crept on him with ease....*

*As a tip of a dagger was behind his back the man whisper*

“Don’t move unless you want to meet your end.”..................

“Um master I will listen yes yes I will do anything you ask of me. I will serve master.”

“I am not your master..I only want out of here...you will take me to the surface or I will run you through.!”

“Um master is a surfacer!? Umm me no know the way to the surface..never been there.”

“You lie!”

“Master no I no lie ...I never been there nor kkknow the way out.”

“What is the reason then to let you live?!”

“Umm me takes you to the city!..Sshamath!..yes I will take master to the city!”
“No you will show me the way.!”

“Yes yes tis this way!”

*Before arriving to the path that would enter the spiral walkway he let the Gnome go and placed a masked hood over his face so that no one would no he was a surfacer. He passed the Drow guards with only a nod and continued the path down....He was a in aw of the Underground city...such structure left him speechless...however he was not going to talk anyways unless he had too.*


*He was walking in what looks to be a merchant market where strange creatures was making a living.*

*hat was before he saw a Drow coming.........He used his skills to hide in the shadows..as this Drow was making his way to the market*

*When the Drow was near..he snuck up close behind him and pressed this dagger to the Drows back. And whispered*

“Don’t move nor do anything foolish..you will answer my question or you will die...who are you?”

*The Drow only smirked as if he wasn’t afraid to die*

“Hmm...why should I tell you anything.? Just because you have a blade to my back doesn’t mean anything to me.”

“Fool you are in no position to say such.”

“You sound like a surfacer!”

“Quiet or I will kill you now!.”

“How will you kill me and get away..as we speak my friend comes to meet me. He will be one you will fear.”

“Look I only want out of this place..I have no quarrel with you. You will take me to the surface.”

“Ha I don’t even know the way.”

*Movement can be seen coming close. Sel releases the Drow and fades to the shadow...as the new Drow arrives and greets welcome in there tongue..he suddenly stands behind the new arrival and uses the same tactic with his dagger.*

*However this time the Drow he is holding speaks first.*

“You would be wise to remove that blade from my back.”

*Seeing as this new Drow seems to be an experienced fighter..he removes his blade and says*

“Very well..since I wish no trouble.”

*The two Drows turn to look at the man and the second one asked*

“Who are you?”
*The First Drow spoke up and stated that he was a human.*

“Look I wish not trouble nor any plot against your kind. I only want out to the surface.”

*The second Drow replied*

“There is no way to the surface.”

“Don’t lie to me..I hear of your surface raids all the time. Do you want payment? “

*laughs* What makes you think we won’t just take your coins surfacer?”

*Seeing that he is in a bad situation he quickly come to another idea.*

*He looks to the second and most season Drow.* “You will take me to the surface, or I will kill him.*points to the lesser*

“Hmm ..very well for his life I will take you to the surface.”

*After tunnels and tunnels and beasts and critters.. They took him to a path and stopped*

“This is as far as we go..your sun world is this way.”

*He only nods and continue his path back to the surface.*

STUPIDITY

*He walks the city in an unmasked hood for in fear of bandits and drows. Yes the dark elves have been more seen of late and he does not want to be a victim of slavery.*

*Stupid him he tried to seek the entrance once. He traveled far south beyond the town of Beregost, pass the cloud peeks..he remembers is well*

*He slew Frost Giants in his path to see this entrance. As he entered he thought he must really be out of his mind. But he wanted to see this Dragon. He pulled his hood close to his face for the cold, “Damn its freezing” he said to himself. As he got deeper into the cave he saw something. “A box?...no chest!”

*He looked around but didn’t see anyone around..so he slowly made his way to the box..as he got closer however he saw a body. He stopped .Before he had a chance to acted...the ground below him became black and sudden light started flashing all around him....he rolled out of his current position and listen to the sound of thunder roaring into the cave....he ran for the nearest shadow and covered himself with his cloak....the sound of heavy footsteps approached....he held his breath....then around the corner a Balor came ...He eyes wide in shock..thinking what in the creators name let that loose.!*

The creatures and Demons walked past looking for him...

Continue later..

UNITED FINALLY

"Alot of new faces, and old ones disappear."

"I think its time. I will finally be what I wanted, but more ...much much..more. I have finally did my final deed that makes me truly what I wanted. I have completed my goals."

*Spins a dagger in his hand* "you have served well, but I think its time to give you back to the rightful owner"

*He pulls out another dagger that seems to pulse with and angry glow and it is marked with a fresh engraving on it* .."This is mine..this is what I had wished for so long...funny how when I first laid eyes on you ...you was about to be given to me for a small price. Yet I was not ready. And you was sold to another right before my eyes. I kept you close I always had my eyes on you.. Now your mine, and now I am ready."

"You .....the very same dagger that I almost had..came to me..as a gift to me. As if you called on me, as if you summoned me. I have took you with me to the most teacherous of places and you served me well."

"Indeed the name I gave you fits you well...you have not failed me, and you are my most prized possession."
