Dark Age Legends

[Aminaga]

"I beg your pardon, but who is this Draven you speak of? And what is the Crimson Empire?" said Aminaga. "Are they working with Mavas? Or are they your own enemy?" "And Ven, are you asking us to find the Kelvos for you?" said Aminaga.

"Also, everyone, I apoligise for that sudden rage conttroling me."Aminaga said. "For it was a sudden darkness trying to control me. I still have yet to discover what it is..."

[Xorlak]

Ven adjusted a strap on his silver gauntlet.

"Hmm... Draven... yes, I've heard that name.  A former general of the Dark Empire turned emperor.  Not very surprising, considering what I've heard.  A man who has destroyed cities with his open palm and can incinerate a man with a glance.  I've heard other sorts of rumors as well.  A god among men, people in some areas call him.  An accomplished dragon slayer.   And a few people insist he has saved the world at least once.  I'm not sure which ones to believe.  I don't intend to go anywhere near the Dark Continent again anyway..."

He then turned to Aminaga.

"I certainly hope Mavas isn't with this... Crimson Empire...  I'm not asking you to find anything for me.  I just want to collect as much information as I can."

[Aminaga]

"Don't worry, Ven, I will do whatever you say." said Aminaga. "I'm with you till the end..."

A breif pause for 10 seconds...

"Okay, now what?" says Aminaga. "Must we go after Mavas, or should we try to find this Draven the man with the wing speaks of. That is, if Draven is still alive..."

[Dude Man]

Duilin snorted after Ven's description of Draven. "Saved the world? The only thing he's saved is his own sorry ass from a multiple headed black dragon. The man, is powerfull I'll give him that, but if you want to make a choice of what to belive about him then here is it: He's a hartless freak, and he is the one true mistake the gods made in this world."

Duilin crosses his arms and then looks at Aminaga "I assure you Draven is still alive. You can rip his hart out, if he had one, and shove it down his nose, and he'd still probabbly have enough energy to pillage a small town and order a bunch of stupid brutes around and capture young childern and eat there parents."

Marshal narrows his eyes at Duilin "I take it your not to fond of this 'Draven' character?"

"Oh what are you kidding? I love him! He's like a brother to me." He replies sarcasticly

"Calm, Duilin." Rink warns "Whenever the name Draven, or Nex, or Darion, or Veronika comes up you get angry. Now hush!"

Duilin sighes and then turns around.

"Might I subjest..." Marshal says "That we go in search of Mavas first, since he is closer, and we know that he is a bigger threat at the time."

[Trent]

He offered a nod of greeting to Duilin, and simply listened in to everything.

[Zeros']

"Dark Continent..." he whispered under his breath, etching the name of the continent in his memory. He nodded in thanks to Ven and turned to Marshal.

"That is partially true. If Mavas and Draven join their power, I'm not sure if we can stop them in time. And I agree. Mavas is a bigger threat as of now," he turned to Ven. "Would you know where the man might be hiding?" he inquired.

[Dippy]

Meanwile on the shores of river town a watchman spots a small dot on the horizon he suspects nothing and contunues on his watch.
After a half hour or so the dot turns out to be a ship with a black sail that be a pirate sail with a big dark age dollar G with cross bones.
soon the ship pulls up to the dock and a slim trim jamacian looking pirate walks out, from the crossplank
"Who are you and what do you want?!?" exclams the watchman.
"The names' Captain Jonny Albatrash, and I have come for your money, your boooze and your women!"
"You can't just waltz in hear and-" He was cut off by the sound of Albatrash's shotgun blowing his brains out all over the dock. Him and his crew walk off the dock and step into the town, filled with frightened townsmen.
"Now every one! you heard me hand over your stuff!" Albatrash then motions for his first mate, Skippy and a bunch of pirates to collect the goods. Albatrash smiles and then a small monkey wearing a bandana runs out of the ship and climbs up onto the captain's shoulder.

[Dude Man]

"Huh!? What's that?" Duilin turned around hearing a noise.

"What?" Marshal asked.

"I herd yelling and...gun fire..."

"Gunfire?"

"Yeah, sounds like a Calibrate Auto Shotgun..."

"What's a Calibrate Auto Shotgun?"

"It's a handheld gun, that you can load with as many ammuntion as posible, and it just fires all of them out..." Duilin responds "I remember somebody useing one. The sound is comeing from the town, near the shore. This shouldn't take to long, let's check it out."

Duilin jumps up into the air and flaps his wings and Rink jumps up and grabs onto Duilin's leg. He then sores off into the derection of the comotion.

[Aminaga]

"What the hell?" said Aminaga. "What do they mean by that?" Aminaga said. "Guys, do you happen to know what Duilin could be talking about?" "I mean, this can't possibly the Draven you guys are looking for! Is it?"

Aminaga wondered, "Should he follow them, or stay behind?"

[Dude Man]

"Listen Aminaga." Marshal said "As you can plainly hear, there is a town, in danger from 'something' and my best bet is that it might be the Crimson Empire Tax Collecters. They are a band of cold blooded pirates, that raid towns for money to aid the Crimson Empire war fund. I've confronted them before, and I had hunch they would come here. You shouldn't question helping people in need Aminaga."

Marshal then runs off following Duilin.

[Aminaga]

"You're right, Marshal! I must assist them immediatly!" said Aminaga. He then followed Duilin and Rink, wondering what this danger was.

[Xorlak]

"Well..."

Ven partially ignored the commotion while conversing with Zeros'.

"He's been running around the world aimlessly since he has been afflicted.  At least it appears aimless...  I can sense the pendant's aura when he uses some of it's stronger power sometimes, but I believe that may be intentional.  He has been trying to spread the curse to me as well, you see...  I can also usually sense his own aura within a half mile or so.  He has left to the south, which is the direction I intend to go.  It's usually hit or miss. Sometimes I wonder if he isn't following me...

"I am worried, though, that he has begun to ally himself with other forces of evil.  I doubt the hordes of undead that attacked this village could have been summoned by him, you see..."

More commotion emanated from the harbor, which Ven couldn't ignore.

"Perhaps we should... see what's going on?"

He began to walk in the direction of the harbor, briskly, his black cloak flowing with him.

[Dude Man]

Duilin and Rink arived near the town. Duilin pointed to Albatrash. "You! What the hell do you think you're doing?" He yelled

Marshal runs up and spots the pirates. "Just as I thought." He said to himself. "Let's see what dose this call for..."

[Dippy]

"Ahh... so is this resistance? Perfect, now i get to have some fun!" Jonny Albatrash says as he aims his gun.
"gawhah shugg fshihhh!" a crazy peggleged tungeless man with two hook hands runs out of the ship and jumps at Duilin. Albatrash's first mate Skippy, swings out his scimitar. The burly man walks toward the group of heros, along with a large group of pirates.

[Zeros']

Zeros', himself, flaps his winds, dust and dirt fanning out behind him as he rose into the air. He then flaps his wings again and propell's himself towards the harbor.
