The Monster Mash

Vathos and Lilith had been walking for two days through Silverpine Forest stopping only to eat. The twins stopped at a fork in the road and turned west towards the small human town called Pryewood Village and up above it overlooking the town was Shadowfang Keep. The two walked down the road leading to the town until they found a small path that led up to the keep. Vathos stopped and pulled out a moldy piece of bread and sat down to eat. Lilith put her hand into a pouch on her belt and pulled out some mushrooms, that would kill a living human, and ate them. After their small meal the twins continued their hike up the path.

The two arrived at the keep to find the gate closed and locked. "Ok Vathos this is your specialty, open the doors." "Ok," said Vathos as he stepped foreward. He took a deep breath, raised his left hand and with a comanding voice he shouted, "open says-a-me!" The gate didn't move. Vathos shrug at his sister. "Its time for plan B," said Vathos as he pulled an eye sized ball of bat guano out of one of his pouches and put it in another. When he pulled it back out it was covered in black powder. Vathos pulled his arm back and then let it fly. As the ball of bat guano and black powder left his hand vathos spoke words of magic, "Vak Don Le Grandu."The bat guano ignited into a fireball that was big enough it could easily fit two dwarfs in it. The fireball hit the gate and blew it into little smoking shards. Lilith drew her sword and ran in with Vathos walking slowly behind her. A wolf flew around a corner and lunged at Lilith. She smacked the wolf to the side with a blow from her shield. The wolf got up and was about to lunge again when an icelance caught it between the eyes.

The twins turned to their right and passed through a doorway that would lead them to the courtyard. Upon entering the courtyard Vathos and Lilith spotted a werewolf standing by the fountain in the center of the courtyard. (it was the old fashion standing on two legs kind of werewolf.) It stared at the twins with eyes that begged for freedom, eyes that pleaded for the merciful embrace of death. Lilith took a step forward and the eyes changed. They shouted for one thing...blood. The beast ran at Lilith and at the last second jumped over her and aimed for her brother. Vathos quickly used a spell that teleported him over to the fountain. The werewolf landed where Vathos had been a second ago. It spun around and with its claws it deflected Lilith's sword and with one mighty kick it sent her flying across the courtyard. The werewolf slowly walked towards the unconsious Lilith. Vathos pulled out a ball of bat guano and quickly rolled it in some black powder. Vathos slammed the butt of his staff on the ground which got the beast's attention. It ran at Vathos with drool dripping from its fangs. When it was three yards away he threw the bat guano. "Vak Don Le Gran!" The bat guano burst into flames and enveloped the werewolf leaving nothing but the smell of burnt hair and flesh. Vathos fell to his knees exhausted from the spell. His vision was fading. The staff fell from his hand. "Not bad young one, not bad at all,"said a voice from behind Vathos. "This will prove to be fun." Vathos collasped with the sight of wolves converging on Lilith.
