"NO! Stay away from me!" I was trapped within a circle of unheard looking demons. They had just killed Andy. I knew that I could never defeat them. Then all of a sudden they were gone, in it's place was an old wise looking man . . . . our elder. He had a white looking aura around him. He spoke in a kind voice. "My son, never give up. Have courage and have faith in yourself. I will guide you along on your journey. Now, you close your eyes." I closed my eyes. When I opened them again, I was back on my cot in the rogue encampment. "Was it only a dream . . ." I pondered on it. I saw Andy over sleeping on his back, his javelins were close to hand incase we needed him. I decided we had slept enough. I walked over to Andy and gently shook him. "Andy wake up. It is time to go." He slowly stirred. "Alright I'm up"
We walked over Kaysha. "Listen, Bloodraven has arisen from the dead. She is raising dead from our Graveyard. If you can destroy Bloodraven than the dead will not arise around here at all. We will be able to push back all of the monsters to at least the stony field." She put a rare smile on her face. "Thanks to you now, we have all monsters pushed back to the cold plains. We have a rogue named Flavie out there to hold them back. We need you to go now, kill Bloodraven with vengeance!" With that we set out to see Charsi to see if we could better equip ourselves. Andy walked over and talked with her a little bit. Andy always was one to flirt. I looked over and saw nothing I could use. Andy however, came over with a new sash. It was red so it probably gave a little bit of fire resist. He told me. "I will probably need this, Charsi told me that groups of fallen have shamans. They tend to cast a lot of fire spells. Here I bought you one too" He handed it over to me. "Thanks you." I could feel the magical properties in it. Since we now had belts we decided to go over to Akara. We bought some more healing potions from her and set out on our way.
We set out on the waypoint that we acquired yesterday. It is always weird going through a waypoint. You don't just teleport, but you make a rip in the dimension and go through to another rip. It always shakes me up at least.
I arrived first to secure the area. I was always supposed to go in, and Andy would come in one minute later. I noticed a group of rouges over to my left. They did not look like regular rogues. I decided to wait for Andy. When Andy arrived I said to him. " I do not think those are regular rogues, follow me and keep your guard up. If ever we run into a champion or overseer, make sure to chill them." Andy nodded. We walked through the cold plains slowly, coming upon a group of monsters here and there. We saw a large group, no more like a colony of fallens and shamans. Then we saw an overseer. Akara told us about him. He was named Bishabosh. We would need to take him out, otherwise he would just resurrect the shamans which in turn would resurrect the fallens, unless we could freeze some of the shamans, thus stopping the resurrection. "Andy, this is not going to be easy. Throw some javelins at the shamans, then fall back so the fallens will chase us, leaving them easy prey." Andy threw two javelins, each one instantly shattering two shamans. "FALL BACK, FALL BACK!" We ran back as the fallens followed us. All of a sudden we turned around, throwing a javelin and slashing down with the sword instantly killing both. The rest of the group ran in every which way panicking. I saw the fallen I killed drop a red hued scimitar. I picked it up and felt the magical properties in it. I took out a scroll and identified the magical properties. It boosted its damage by adding jagged ridges on the sword. It also added a little electric shock in it. "Lucky you, just what you needed." I looked at Andy. "Yeah, it is quite nice, we should go after Bishabosh while his fallens are scattered. "Yeah, lets go".
We headed back to the camp. There were four shamans along with the overseer himself. They took up a V-formation. I saw this and looked deep within myself. "Elders, I ask you to help me in this battle" "We will strengthen all of your swords skills. You have deemed yourself worthy of this gift. Now go use it to benefit your people!"
All of a sudden, I was back on the battlefield. I yelled and charged in. I saw the shaman on my left attempt to hit me. Feeling my new skill. I hit more accurate and harder then ever before. The shaman was dead before he knew what hit him. All of a sudden I all four of them shot fireballs at me. I dodged the first on by moving to the left, while putting up my shield and blocking two more. The fourth one was unavoidable. It hit me right in my back. My belt took some of the damage but I could feel the burns on my back. All of a sudden I felt two cold chills go by me. I saw two of the demons instantly shattered by Andy's javelin. I took up my charge with renewed energy. I put my shield up and blocked two new fire bolts coming towards me. I reached the last shaman. I slashed diagonally sending electric shocks through him. His charred carcass dropped to the ground. I looked at Bishabosh as he sneered at me. "You will not defeat me!" As he said this he charged at me. He swung his puny knife. I blocked his attack with my shield. I swung at him with all of the ferocity that my bash would allow me. He was instantly damaged. Then with the physical damage the lighting damage took affect. He stumbled. "NICK MOVE NOW!" I jumped to the left as a javelin flew through Bishabosh's chest shattering him instantly. If it had not been Andy and I, I would have been impaled right now instead of our enemy. I took a healing potion and I could begin to feel my back starting to heal. "Andy, you dog! Always trying to get the kill for yourself." He smirked "Hey now, I just saved your ass!" I laughed "I am not even going to argued with you. Lets get going, I think that is the graveyard right over there."
We entered the graveyard with the feeling of plain and utter disgust. People who had been buried were now being raised against there will. As if someone read my thoughts two skeletons came lumbering right up to us. They crumbled with ease, then we saw Bloodraven, she was standing inside of a fence by a tree with dead rogues hung from it. The look of it made us run in without even thinking. Before we knew it, we were being overwhelmed! Just when I thought we were going to die Andy yelled at the top of his lungs. All of a sudden I felt more aware of everything. I blocked the attack from a skeleton, turning around and shattering his bones everywhere. I yelled "ANDY GO AFTER BLOODRAVEN, I WILL TAKE CARE OF HER MINIONS!" Andy managed to slip out. While he was trying to take care of Bloodraven I had my own hands full with the surround undead. I hacked and slashed, drinking a healing potion or two. Finally after killing the last zombie I looked to see Andy fighting valiantly. He was throwing with more skill then I had ever seen before. Although I guessed the elders gave him those two new skills, but even with those two new skills he was still loosing. I looked around and saw a javelin that Andy had used. I picked it up and threw it with all of my might. It impaled her right arm, making her unable to use her bow. With that Andy threw a javelin. It went in her head and came out the other end. All of a sudden a lighting bolt came out from the sky striking Bloodraven's now dead body. We looked around. All the carnage we saw. . . . . All of this had been done by Diablo. "You will fall Diabl.," I told myself. After that, we opened up a town portal and went to talk to Kaysha. "I am impressed. Although you managed to kill Bloodraven, I still doubt your skills. I am going to give you two mercenaries. One for" I cut in "Thank you for the offer Kaysha, but we fight alone. You have good intentions, but we do not need them to come along" She looked at us blankly. "Alright, but if you ever change your mind just come back to me!" She then walked away from us. We didn't want to make them feel unwanted, but we always fought together. "Well Andy, lets go relax for the rest of the day." With that we went off to go eat.
