Rokugan- An area in Dungeons and Dragons that is based on Asia, very Asian like.

Ex-Samurai-If a Samurai goes against being lawful they are not samurai anymore.

Halfling- Short little creatures much like Hobbits.

Drow- Dark Elves, they as mostly evil creatures that live under ground, which is called the underdark.

Gypsy Rouges- A very charismatic rogue.

Copper Pieces: The equivalent to cents.

The Phantom of the Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter One

Erik

The Phantom of the Opera, he was the bringer of many disasters. Yet, it all started with a normal adventure in Faerun, or after an adventure to be precise.

It was a group of three party members that began the story. One was a male human Rokugan Ex-Samurai, who was now a fighter, traveled all the way to Faerun. With a katana and a wakizashi on his side and he fights very well. In Rokugan humans had clans, he use to be a member of the Crane Clan. The party members just called him The Rokugan. He was quite used to that nickname.

Another was a young woman, a Halfling bard. Antionette was her name, but she was less then the typical halfling. She took her job seriously. She danced and sang to inspire her companions to fight. But she could also heal her companions and fight with her rapier.

Jules, who was a halfling and a very skillful rogue since he could pick locks; disable traps and many more things. Charisma wasn't his main stat. That would be dexterity and wisdom and with his crossbow he could hit any target.

The three got out of an abandon church as they looked for treasure and gold. They did find some and were ready to get some new weapons, magic items and things like that. They were at the city of Waterdeep which was where the church was located.

Jules separated from the group right away. With his knowledge of many cities he knew where places were. He went straight to a magic item's shop.

Antionette and The Rokugan were left alone. Without the streetwise of Jules, they did not know where to go, or even when they will meet their companion again. They just walked around the city. But that was when they found it, something that would make them change the world, probably not for the better: It was a group of gypsy rogues, mostly drow. It caught both of the heroes' attention.

They saw some performances, dropped some Copper Pieces. But they heard of something called Cyric's Child. The Rokugan looked at Antionette for her bardic knowledge. She said that he was an evil deity of destruction and lies. Also to be known as the dark sun.

This interested them both so they walked up to the performance and saw a cage with a boy in it. He had a bag over his head. Nothing too special, it was a potatoes bag really.

There were quite a lot of people watching, it was nothing too interesting, "Let's go find Jules," said The Rokugan.

Antionette nodded her head they were about to turn to find their party member. But a drow rogue came in with a whip. He took the bag off of the boy's face. The boy was a drow elf with half of his face in an extremely nasty skin condition. But the sight wasn't the only thing, the rogue began to beat him and everyone except for Antionette and The Rokugan began to laugh. But it wasn't humor to them. Out of her own anger Antionette drew her rapier, opened the door and attacked the rogue right on the gut. She was close on getting a critical injury, but it just didn't hit that hard.

But the rogue drew another whip and slashed one right at her. She jumped out of the way on the first but the second hit her on the arm. The sleeve cut open and there was a slight scrape on her arm. But it hurt so much, these can't be normal whips.

The boy with the skin condition was still in pain, but he took some fleece from his pocket and waved his hand. An orc appeared, and both Antionette and the Rouge scream. The orc thrust his ax at them. The rogue ran out of the cage. But The Rokugan blocked the cage with his katana.

Antionette didn't get hit by the orc, but neither did the orc make any sound when he hit her. She looked at the boy. It must have been an illusion spell, he just smiled nervously. She saw the Rogue who was facing back of her and on the other side was her companion. She then hit his back with her weapon.

It was The Rokugan's turn; he slashed his katana at the Rogue. It put the pervious injury on his stomach even worse. He crouched down in pain. "Let's not kill him," said Antionette.

But the boy disagreed; he grabbed some rope and knotted it in a way that looked like a lasso. The Rogue got up, but with a surprise. It went over his head and tightened on his throat. It got tighter and tighter, until he could breathe no more. The Rokugan and Antionette both looked at the boy. But the boy put the bag over his head and walked out of the cage. The audience was already gone, probably of fear. The two began to leave but the boy stood still.

"You can come with us," said the Rokugan.

Antionette looked up at him, "But what would Jules think?"

The Rokugan put his sword back to his waist, "the boy has talent, he could cast illusions and he needs experience."

So Antionette let The Rokugan let the boy come with. The Rokugan asked a question, "What is your name?"

"Umm…" The boy looked down, "me really don't have name."

A voice came from behind that suggested a name, "how about Erik?" It was Jules; he had a bag on his back filled with magic items. "So why is this boy with you?"

"Well," said the Rokugan, "We saw him with a group of gypsy rogues."

"We rescued him from them," Antionette explained, "one of them was beating him with this strange whip that hurts more then a regular one. But during the battle he cast an illusion spell. So after the battle The Rokugan let him come with us."

Reni was surprised, "So he's a sorcerer?"

"Read books I have," said the now named Erik.

"So you are a wizard," Antionette guessed, "you seem to have good skill."

"Erik gain many skill from gypsy," he referred.

That was when Antionette realized about his speech. He was already talking in the third person, even when he had just gotten the name. It just seemed strange, but she decided not to ask.


Over the years each of the four improved on their skills. With the money saved, Erik bought material and workers to build an Opera House that he designed. After the Opera house was built he was not seen again by any of his party members.

Ever since the Opera House was built Antionette, who is now married to Jules, taught ballet at the Opera house. Jules managed the Opera House for a very short time. But with his lack of intelligent he quickly gave up the job and gave it to someone else. The Rokugan still adventured but when he wasn't he always stayed at the Opera house.


It was five years and business was doing well. But it wasn't until the manager received a letter that requested money. It was sighed, 'OG,' the manager didn't give the money at first, but that was when the whole stage had the image of fire all over it. It scared alot of people, but soon found out that it was an illusion. It seemed to be a bit of a warning. So the manager gave money to this Opera Ghost.

Also, Antionette and The Rokugan began to hear Erik's voice through the walls. They knew right away that it was him. He showed them his lair under the Opera House and the many ways to get there. Antionette interacted with him once in a while, becasue she was so busy they didn't interact often. But The Rokugan talked to him much more. But they were unaware of his plans.
