MYSTERY LOCATION - January 13, 1999 - Author Unknown
Being awoken to her masters, Dell was
summoned to join the Clan of Vampires in a valley of their ritual
gatherings. It was to be here that they would seal their hold on Dell, thus
sending a permanent and unwavering message to the citizens of Corwyn that
they are not ones with which to trifle.
The ceremony began which required all of the Vampires to remain within
the Circle of Enchantment. During the ceremony, a groan echoed throughout
the stone valley, "Uhhhhhnnnnn.....". One of the mysterious creatures known
only as "a lost one" had appeared in the midst of the CoV. Looking
bewildered and confused it seemed to listen to the events transpiring. Many
of Dell's former companions found their way to rescue her. The battle cries
were shouted out as the mystical Corp Por was flung about the area, an
Energy Vortex was also thrown in the midst of the Vampires and did fell one
us. Arrows flew to their marks and three of her rescuers were forced to flee
- two were not so fortunate.
Despite forcing the heroes to flee, one of the Kindred had fallen, thus
keeping the ceremony from completion. It seemed a small victory for those of
Light, as the denizens of Darkness feasted upon the corpses of the fallen.
It seemed that much of the control that was held over Dell was broken as
a result and she left the presence of the Vampires to return to her friends
and loved ones in Corwyn. The "lost one" remained however, trying to
communicate with the other undead present. Although cryptic in his garbled
speech, the lost one spoke long with the Vampires. From the conversation,
Hephaestus and Charity were able to decipher his warnings of the
"Bluuuuuuuueee.....Skkuuuuuuuuuuullll....", obviously referring to the Order
of the Blue Skull. After some time he began to wander, Blade and Varra
DarkMaer followed the creature to the Suicide Device where he subsequently
disappeared. After the Vampires began to experiment with the device and
examine the tomes near it, a spirit was seen walking the forests. An unusual
spirit this one, quite unique in fact, a Lurker, as described in the various
tomes found nearby. This Lurker went by the name of Zaine, and communication
with him proved even more difficult than with the lost one.All in all, the
events of the evening were very interesting, and most enlightening. At this
very time, the Kindred search the lands for more information on this Order
of the Blue Skull. Some information has already been gleaned, and new
theories have been proposed, but only time will tell the validity of such
theories. Fortunately, we have all eternity.....
