Chapter 2
"Hold on one damned minute, I'm preparing my spells," Nystak replied to Tarvin's rushing words.
"There breaking into the town NOW, the rogues cant hold them all off, hurry it up." Tarvin remarked as he fled out of the tent to help the rogues fight off the incoming monsters.
It had been 8 days, since they got back from Tristram, and it had been silent in the fields. Even while scouting they had only encountered a few beasts. Now a small herd of them were attacking the small rouge encampment. Skeletons, quill rats, and a couple Brutes.
"You foul beasts, you will all fall before this encampment!" Tarvin exclaimed, as he struck down a skeleton. Striking at the closest monster to him without hesitation. Another quill rat shot to death by a rogue scout.
"Be careful young Barbarian, do not lose yoruself in there herd," Kashya warned Tarvin. "Let my rogue scouts hold them at bay, and tear down there front line."
Kashya was the leader of the Rogue Mercanaries in the encampment. AFter there order was backstabbed by the traitorous Blood Raven, who was once a leader of the order. Blood Raven took to the side of Andarial, and attempted to destroy the order. Kashya leads the Rogue Mercanaries to protect the encampment, hopeing one day they will be able to strike back at Blood Raven, ending her hellish reign.
Tarvin heeded her remark, and backed off slightly. "Damnit Nystak where are you?"
As Tarvin said that, a trail of white bone flew past his left side, flying into the herd of monsters. Four beasts dropped dead in its path. "Here I am, was the wait worth it?" Nystak asked. As he prepared his next spell.
"What was that?", Tarvin quickly asked anyone who could supply an answer for it. "No matter, it worked nicely I suppose, keep those spells coming."
Cain watched the Necromancer as he casted his Bone Spear without flaw. "Stronger yet, perhaps I shall teach him a curse or two after this." he whispered under his breathe, barely audible. He watched the battle for a minute longer and ducked into his tent.
"Another is ready, move aside quickly," Nystak told Tarvin as he casted a second Bone Spear.
Tarvin rushed to the side, and watched as the white stream flew into the monsters killing several quill rats, and ending its flight in the abdomen of a Brute. Also he noticed each skeleton it passed by fell apart instantly. "Very nice, now let me take these Brutes on. They are no match for me now." As Tarvin said this he put his knives, and his broad sword in there hilts, and grabbed his newly obtained Bardiche. "Let's see just how enchanted this thing is," he muttered and charged the nearest Brute.
The look on the Brute's face was enough to make the last two Brutes flee from the battle. The Brute had only enough time to let out a roar, before he fell to his death before Tarvin. "I see its enchantment now," Tarvin remarked, as he looked at his leg, which was dripping blood. He knelt down, to find a quill in his lower leg. "kashya your rogues missed one of those cursed overgrown rats." Throwing the quill down, he returned to the encampment and headed for Akara for a healing spell.
Akara easily healed the wound. She was the only sorcerer in the encampment. She is also the only one in the encampment, with magical healing aid. She is a Sister of the Sightless Eye, a great order that existed in the plains. As the Roue Mercanaries, this order to, was corrupted. This order however was corrupted by Andarial herself. Who searching for greater power found herself aiding Diablo and his brothers. Andarial took over the Rouge Monestary Gate, preventing anyone from going to the east into Lut Gholien. Akara agrees to help any who may have a chance to defeat Andarial, and returning the Monestary to the Rougues.
As Akara was healing the wound on Tarvin's leg, Kashya approached them and told the story of Blood Raven. "So she must be stopped. I believe she is the one behind these attacks, and she will not stop until the rest of the order is as corrupt as her," she continued. "It would be a great service if you and Nystak would search her out, and and end this. If you would do this, I believe I can give you a reward for the deed. I would deal with it myself, but the remaining rogues are t ofew, and not as strong as you two, and I fear I would lose many more."
"Yes, I agree," Tarvin replied. "I shall talk with Nystak, he is learning a new skill, and this owuld be oppurtunit to test it. I am sure he will agree to help."
As he said this Akara finished healing his wound. "Barbarian, you are brave, and strong. In your quest for Blood Raven, take these," she said handing him a belt of potions. "These will allow you to heal much faster than normal. They may be of use in your next battle."
Tarvin returned to the tent, he and Nystak were staying in. As he stepped inside, Cain was standing up, "Ah, hello there Tarvin, we have just finished here. Another spell complete for the necromancer. A golem of clay, risen from the ground at his command," he described.
"Thank you Cain, in two days, we can test it's worth. Kashya has asked a service of us. She wants us to search for Blood Raven, and end her reign of death and corruption." Tarvin continued, "Would you perhaps know of Blood Raven?"
"Blood Raven, a familiar name in the plains. Once part of the Rogue Mercanaries I believe." He stopped to think, "I hear stories of her raising the dead rogues in the graveyard, and corrupting their souls. A formidable foe indeed. Take caution on this quest, to not rush into it blind sighted."
"Thank you for the information, we shall make a plan before searching her out." Tarvin stopped, and turned to Nystak, "You will join me on this quest will you not?"
Nystak sat there for a minute, "Of course, I wouldn't let any who have been tainted by the passing of Diablo live. In two days then, I shall have spells prepared. We shall be ready."
"Hold on one damned minute, I'm preparing my spells," Nystak replied to Tarvin's rushing words.
