Chapter 7: New Members
Savon walks threw the guild hall, still recovering from his injuries, trying to find Theresa, the pink clan's leader. He finally finds her, and announces his presence. "Theresa milord, I have the new recruits for Ghost Squad ready." She stares at him blankly, "You've been training them for 2 hours. No matter HOW good you are, that's too soon to say that their ready." "That's where you're wrong. These trainees didn't even need my training. They are all ready to fight." "Sigh… well, send them in…"
"What do you think she's going to do?" Spida, one of the new recruits asks. "I've heard rumors that if she doesn't like the candidates, she chops off their heads and eats um" Scian, another of the new recruits replies. Spida stares at him angerly and sends a wave of cold from her staff knocking him down. "Oh, very mature…" He says as he uses his scythe to prop himself up. "Shut up" Kita replies "I think Savon's comeing back." As if on cue, Savon walks into the room. "She's ready for you" The four new members of ghost squad exit the room and into the courtyard.
"You." She immediately states as the 4 of them enter the courtyard. "State your name and your class." She points to Chaos. "Chaos Distoni. Paragon. Specialization in support chants." She smiles. It has been a while since a Paragon was in the Pink Clan. And Savon says that they are already good? "Step back. You" she points to Kita, "Name and class" "Kita Turashi. Warrior. Specialization in precise sword strikes" Arg… not ANOTHER warrior… "Step back. You" she points this time to Spida. "Name and Class" "My name is unimportant. You can call me Spida. I'm a necromancer that specializes in the spell Spiteful Spirit" Upon that Savon winces remembering his recent battle with a shadow beast. "Step back. You" she points to Scian. "Name and Class" "Scian O'Nia. Dervish. I specialize in killing." arrogant little… "Well. According to the Number 2 member of Ghost squad, you little punks are ready for battle. Well we'll test that wont we. You four will perform a pilgrimage to Boreas Seabed and bring me a piece of jade that you personally carve from the Seabed." Spida frowns. "That's it? That's your big test? To get a hunk of jade?" "You won't think it's so easy once you get there." With that, the four members head to the docks to book passage to Cantha.
"Damnit Drizzt, we're lost" Bender complains as they walk threw the tunnels of the mines. Drizzt for some unknown reason had taken out a bow, and had been wielding it with about 50 arrows in it for an hour. They finally reach a large chamber with around 4 dozen stone summit in it. Drizzt releases the barrage of arrows into the group, and most of the group falls in an explosion of blood. Shiva stares at him in awe. Man, I wish I could fire like that The rest of the group runs toward the 7 of them and Grant smiles wickedly. He raises minions from every corpse that Drizzt had caused into the room, and they chase the rest of the dwarves out of the room. Grant and Drizzt high five each other, not noticing the ball of flames that came their way. It slams into them, knocking them unconscious. Suddenly the rest of the group hears a shriek as a wyvern, mounted by a dwarf, grabs both of them in its mouth. The dwarf claps. "You 7 are very, very strong. You managed to infiltrate my mines, ruin my sacrifice, kill more then 70 of my men, and come here fairly unharmed. However, I will have my sacrifice." Bender sends out a blast of flames, but the wyvern just blocks them with its tail. Shiva unleashes a barrage of arrows, but they are just reflected off of the beast's hard scales. Mez raises her staff and sends out degenerative phantasm, which seems to phase it a tiny bit. Patsy sends out spirits, some defensive, most offensive, and the offensive spirits slam their blasts into the beast. But their efforts are in vain as the beast along with its master runs out of the room.
