Vlad had become bored in his pursuits it wasn't that he didn't like helping people because he did it was just the enemies were rather weak compared to him being a universalist he was fluent in all forms of combat. He could dis spell just about anything with a silvery tongue a good handle on black smithing along with a very good stealth ability and some detection capabilities made you regret picking a fight with him. Fortunately there was always an idiot somewhere.
King Tritarion had summoned him for some odd reason or another so making his way to Ysa to see what his old friend wanted. Ysa looked better than the last time he was here the water was clearer the buildings looked greener. So making his way up the steps passing the guards with a simple nod for greeting. The king made his way over to Vlad and spoke.
"You are needed elsewhere." The kings voice was tired.
"Okay that wasn't cryptic at all, so where am I off to next?" Vlad was a little upset over the riddles but he bore with it.
"A place where a god is spreading it's corruption." That got his attention.
"Oh are the tuatha back because that means I can kill them again." Tritarion would never understand this mortal.
"No this time you will need to accompany two people one is an almain named Alistair and a strange looking Alfar named Rita it is important the complete their mission in destroying the tainted god."
"Sounds good let me just... Wow I suddenly feel tired." With that he fell into slumber
Standing back up quickly and looking around the place looked dull not that it wasn't pretty in its own right it just looked less colourful. He was at the edge of small town that looked a little bit more crowded then was safe to be the people looked desperate to his right a small cage with some one in it.
"Alright where am I this time?" Vlad's question was directed at the giant in the cage.
"A town called Lothering." The giant responds.
"Just my luck." This should prove to be interesting.
