((Join whenevr you want, just come in with a suitable intro, no player limit, i'll be the gm if you don't mind)) The Ras Kar forest is one, with countless routes, some ending in places that create a completely delightful sensation of euphoria whereas others create a feeling of dread and suck the freedom of life from you. However in this quest of mine, you will be the master of what path you decide to choose. You head into the forest in search for adventure, however you decide to choose a path less tread upon by man, a path used by the beasts... This path leads you through caves dark and dyed with the blood of many-a-victims, you however being a hero ignore these. The soldiers following you however aren't so succesfull in hiding their fear. * The batallion of the kings finest follows you, 13 of them in all, an unlucky number as you told him , but the kings reply was simple, "Where you now tread, luck has no value." You then asked him,"What is our mission, King of Shandon?" He laughed,"You will find someone , who'll tell you, now go!" * Not wishing to anger him , you are now here. As you now tread on this path, seemingly un-inhabited, you sumble upon a single house, held together by sticks and branches of the surrounding , dead black trees. A man walks out , unarmed, from this shack you see, he gestures for you to come. Your mission begins now, you will decide your own fate.What do you do?

At first, Aten was hesitant to move towards the man who beckoned him forth. Men who lived in the Ras Kar were usually not this jovial. After all, he had lived there as a child, he knew the effects it could have on one's psyche. Living in a dark, misreble cave for years on end, venturing out only to hunt rodents, was probably a major factor that contributed to creating the sober, silent man that was Aten. However, after years of living the good life, he could now appreciate humor and the little things in life.
Aten strides forward with a wide friendly smile. He sticks his hand out and he greets the man. He wondered what relation the outcast could possibly have with the king.

The man looks at Atens hand, then with speed impossible for his age, he grabs your hand and pulls it towards him, you scream in pain as your wrist glow red.The soldiers around you are held in place by the fear of what is hapenning to you. * The Commander of the men assigned to you, comes for your help, and asks you,"Sir, is you wrist burning?" You reply writhing in pain,"NO..... It..it..is freezing." * The old man now lets go of your palm, and says,"Aten, travel north, and remember there are more valuable things than life."He stops, and takes a long sip from a wine-skin.Then once again looking at you says,"In your case, look out for the 'Red Stone'" Then the man smiles, gives a little chuckle and says,"This may sound a bit cliched, but all that shines is not gold." * You feel the energy return to your hand, and you reach for you weapon, hoping to incapicitate this man, but once again he surprises you..With a click of his fingers, an aura of numbness envelopes you.You forget what you were going to do.You look up at the man, but doubt wether you actually saw anything, the man was gone.Your memory returns to you, Now will you retreat or head North? By now, you are completely sure that this is the man the king wanted you to meet.

Aten was rather distressed.
"Curses! I should have known better!"
He staggers onto his feet and quickly organizes is troops into an arrow head formation with himself at the front.
"Attention!!" he yells.
The men click to an upright position.
"The man we encountered minutes ago is the person the king wanted me to meet."
Some meeting!
"We will follow his directions and seek out this 'Red Stone'. We will move north.. that way!"
Aten pointed in a general northward direction. After a few frenzied commands, the men begin trudging behind the Woodsman.

Accept.
Having been a little tied up with a bit of unfinished business, Xan had reached the kings castle a little late. Due to this, he missed the adventure party. Though he made up for that by finding out where they were at this precise moment. He saw Aten leading a group of thirteen soldiers.
" 'Elow! *he laughed* Greetings Aten i apologise for my lateness but i was *ehem* a bit caught up. Where are we headed?" Said Lord Xan

Kravis one of the thirteen soldiers quietly looked into Atens hand from a distance. He wondered why did he touch Aten so? Why did he not ask for help. Why was he so scared of magic. This baffeled him. He decided to look out for anything suspicious from now onwards.
When Lord Xan. One of the greatest Knights of Rythanis. He wondered why he came alone. He tread a very long distance on foot? Yet, so fast.Something was afoot. He clutched his Dwarved battle swords as Xan greeted thier leader. He filled the formality. He waved out to Xan. If indeed he was a Xan, he would know him.
"Hello there friend. It has indeed been a long time since our last reunion."
Kravis smiled and walked on.

((okay enough of the pleasantries..)) You head north, and as you follow the gradually fading path, laden with the smell of blood of animals and humans alike, past and present, you hear a muffled coughing voice, to the right of your path.You see a woman limping and coughing, she looks at you and cries out,"Soldiers, protect yourselves from what lies ahead, i have gladly given up my life for yours, use it well."
"There are few thing more valuable than life."
She suddenly stops dead in her tracks, points east and collapses.

As you head deeper into the forest you hear voices, shrill laughter as a man dressed in red steps up far in frotn of you, his scraggy hair covers his face like a veil, he shouts out words that make no sense, which you find you can't relate to any language you've heard of. HE moves his hands in a frantic motion and points at the party as 5 soldiers fall down, eyes closed, yoou check their status and find out that they are asleep and not dead.However... each passing moment makes these soldiers around 5 years older, a minute later you see signs of their hair growing white.
The man in red laughs, pushes the hair from his face as a scar contours his forehead, diverting slightly to his left eye. 7 archers step out, arrows held taut, followed by 5 soldiers wearing an armour so worn out, it can't present a clue as to where they are from.
Situation;- You have- 7 soldiers, 5 asleep Kravis - 100% Xan- 100% Aten- 100%
They have- Red robed High Summoner - 100% 7 archers 5 soldiers

By now, Aten was thoroughly confused. The odd string of events had scared his soldiers greatly and to some extent, himself. From the very first instant he saw him, Aten knew that the summoner was hostile.. but then again, so was everything else in the Ras Kar. Large, winged shadows fall upon the ground. An eagle screams from high above. The birds had been keeping up with Aten since they set out from Shandon. Suddenly, root-like tentacles burst out of the soil, coiling themselves around a terrified warrior. "Attaaaack!!"

Marr heard a scream belonging to a voice he recognised. He had been in the Ras Kar forest searching for some rare herbs with magical powers. He rushed towards the direction from which he heard the scream. For some reason, he didnt seem to be astonished by what befell him. He quickly spread his wings and took to flight.

Kravis jumps into a Kinetic Portal and hits the summoner as hard as posible, Then he jumps into anopther portal and continues the attacks on all the infantry.
Message from admin: Write 'Kinetic Portal' instead of 'Kinetic + Portal'.

The 5 heroes and 7 soldiers wage war fiercly against the summoners soldiers, aten roots manaage to temporarily hold on to the soldier, crushing him, with his final breath the soldier utters a word and a blue orb of light flies from his chest, gettion absorbed into the summoners palm. Eagles attack and kill 1 more soldier. The summoner briefly shocked by Kravis' blow, who know had manged to kill another soldier and hurt several, faces his hand at him and a red bolt of light hits Kravis in the back, however not comletely penentrating his armour. Lifaen and marr are still on their way. The archers now open fire on the eagles, piercing one of them through it's wing, leaving it to be nurtured by its comrades, they have scared away the eagles, you can't summon any more allies for thhis fight now. Then the archers line up in a v-formation, string their red yew bows and fire at the soldiers, 2 are killed instantly, but as you stare at them you are overcomed with fear as you see that the arrow has completely traversed the soldiers' bodies, thorugh the breast, you realise just how much power is needed both in the person shooting and the arrows to penentrate the rib cage and come otu through the other side.On closer inspection, you realise that these arrows were made of mithril, you acknowledge the powerful hands required to pull such an arrow. Situation- Evil High Summoner:100-10+5=95% 1 soldier 5 archers
Good Kravis - 90% Aten - 100% Xan - 100% Marr - 100% Lifaen - 100%
