Assault on the Ravenholdte

Chapter VI

All of the adventurers sat down in the pavilion. It was twenty feet high, and had a radius of thirty feet. A large table dominated the center of the pavilion. At one end was Fahrad. He wore sturdy leather armor, with dual swords. Carana sat at the other head. At Fahrad's right was Duilas. To the left was Carthith. At Caran's right was Haladora. To his left was Sedanaru.

Fahrad continued dragging on with a long speech about how the criminal society called the Ravenholdte wanted them to join. Carana was barely listening. He was staring blankly into space, slightly drawn to a picture of the desert of Tanaris that was hanging on the wall. Drawn inexplicably to it....

Pain. Figures all around, slaughtering each other, on one end, undead and large bugs, on the other, humans, orcs, elves of all types, and goblins. A fireball whizzed past, hurtling towards a undead night elf wielding a bow. "We need help!" Yelled a voice. A figure leapt passed, it's face too bloody and grimy to make out. Could it be...

He was back. Carana breathed in deeply, and looked around. The speech was finished. Fahrad walked around the mahogany table, then faced them all.

"What is your choice?" Fahrad asked. He glared down at them all.

"Yes." Ziggy said.

"No." Crytyster said, and began to re-read a dusty tome that he had brought with him.

"Yes." Tyrannia answered, "Now can I get my gun?"

"Yes." Fahrad replied. Tyrannia left to go to get her gun.

"No." Sedanaru said.

"Yes, yes, I understand with the paladin." Fahrad yawned.

"No." Carana said, standing up.

"What?!"

Assult on the Ravenholdte

Chapter V

After traveling for three days and nights through the Hillsbread Foothills, the caravan of travelers found themselves in the Alterac Mountains. Joining them was Tyrannia Windspike, a tauren hunter; Ziggy Warmheart a gnome priest, and an undead mage named Crystyster. Carana avoided Crystyster like the plague. The came upon a small but powerful fortress in the mountains, secluded extremely well, found only by entering a special way. Carana took note of this. They entered the fortress, many on their guard, hands on their swords, or other weapons.

As they approached the end of a long hallway with bamboo wooden floors, and weapon racks on all the walls, Duilas turned around and held out a hand for them to stop.

"I am afraid I cannot let you into this room armed." He stated flatly. Carana pulled off his sword and hung it on a rack, with his wands and magical torch. Sedanaru placed his sword and shield on the floor. Haladora dropped her dual shortswords and her bow, and her bear stopped and sat on the floor. Crystyster dropped his staff, Ziggy dropped his hammer, and Tyrannia set down her gun, and her dagger. Crythith placed his crossbow, sword and shield on the ground.

Carana moved up to Duilas so fast none could see it, and said calmly, "Don't think I need the sword." He then backed off.

Duilas backed away for a second intimidated, but then walked forward and said, "May I present Master Rogue Fahrad, leader of the Ravenholdte. The doors swung open.
