-- NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR --
Before I start this chapter, I would like tho thank Architehieustguesshamalamadingdong (or something) for
reviewing my story, pointing out that Marvin is ignorant. Thank you!
Marvin: HEY!
And, yes, I may use Mind Flayers, providing I'm not too rusty on them. And to Xel, for giving me a reason to post a second chapter.
I've decided to focus more on individual storylines, going from Marvin's character, to Jeric's (thief), to Byara's (cleric) to Kyara's (bard) to Mystic's (mage). But, along the way, so it doesn't get boring, I will include little short stories in between. They will be marked as (SS) in the chapter title.
Ah, yes, and there's a lot of swearing and one gunfight in this one.

Chapter 2: Mielikki's Witnesses from the Nine Hells!
------------------------------------------------------- Pentonville, New Jersey -------------------------------------------------------
The old lady traveled through the forest, grumbling to herself. She finally reached this rock pillar, when two men, wearing purple robes and cowls, stepped out.
"Where is he?" One of the men asked.
"He didn't-" then, stopping herself, changed back into an mage, wearing old ladies' clothes. "He didn't come."
The two mages were laughing too hard to hear him.
"Damnable spell!" The man in old ladies' clothes yelled. The mages continued laughing, until one wheezed out, "Sorry about that. He didn't come with, now did he? Well, let's show that man the wrath of. of. what are our titles again? WHOO!"
"TYR, Bark! We are the MAGES OF DOOOOM!"
"Oh, ok, Bite."
Breath (the man in old ladies' clothes) commented, "Fellow adventurers? Let's go destroy that Marvin knave!"
--------------------------------------------
Marvin finished getting dressed, and then, he picked up his keys, when-
*SNIFF* *SNIFF* "Is something burning?" He walked to the bedroom, where the smell was coming from.
"OH, GOD! MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE!"
The flames quickly spread, in one second, coming from the wall, spreading to his bed, his end table, and then, in just 12 seconds, engulfed the room.
What in the hell!? The source of the fire came from that. that. crazy flask. wait a sec. it's THAT OLD LADY!! Marvin thought.
Marvin roared in anger, and ran into another room, opened the counter inside that room, and pulled out a pistol from the counter, along with two clips. Marvin quickly tucked the clips into his pants pocket, clicked the safety off of his pistol, and quickly ran outside, before the flames engulfed the entire house.
*******************************
The three mages looked outside, watching the pretty flames build up and engulf the house in record time, when Marvin burst out of the house, on fire, who then proceeded to stop, drop, and roll.
"NOW!" Bark screamed.
The three men began casting spells. Marvin looked at them, they were summoning lights. pretty lights! Oooh, and they came out in an arc and they're heading towards- *SMACK!* Marvin tumbled to the ground.
(What the HELL? And what the HELL JUST HIT ME!?) Marvin thought, shortly after being hit with a Magic Missile.
Marvin raised his .45, and took potshots at the mages. One shot hit a tree, the other brushed by Breath (What the hell is going on here? What the HELL IS HAPPENING!? WHY HAS THIS DAMN WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AND WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME!? Marvin ranted.) Marvin dove behind a tree.
The house collapsed, crushing most of Marvin's stuff (the ones he cared about.), and engulfing the rest with flame. The mages ran to face Marvin, in front of his burning house, when-
*CRACK!* Breath took a bullet in the head, and fell down.
Bark and Bite looked at Marvin, then his gun, then at Breath, then back to Marvin and his weapon again, screamed, and ran away.
"NO ONE ESCAPES THE WRATH OF MARVIN!! COME BACK HERE!" Marvin took off after the fleeing mages, shooting wildly at them in the forest. Bark and Bite ran as fast as they could, but Bite tripped, and Marvin shot him in the leg and chest, which caused Bite to have a sudden loss of vitality. Marvin quickly slammed another clip in his pistol, when the turned around and quickly cast a spell (Green! thought Marvin.), and the mage thought he had it made.
But, he said the spell too quickly in excitement, and he failed to cast it. Marvin shot Bite in the leg, then, walked over to him. Bite quickly drew his knife, (Knife!? What the hell is he doing with a knife!? Doesn't he know about guns? Marvin thought.) and swiped Marvin's leg, leaving a medium- sized scratch, and a torn pants-leg. Marvin yelped, and jumped back, keeping his pistol trained on Bark's body.
"Who the hell are you?" Marvin inquired.
"You knave! You think you are invincible, with your precious. precious. uh."
"It's called a gun, stupid."
"Gun? What a strange name!"
(Stupid. Has he never heard of a gun before? And what's with those light thingies? And why do they hurt?) Marvin thought, rubbing the side of his body where the "thingie" hit him five minutes earlier.
"Who the hell are you?" Marvin asked Bark again.
"What's it to you, knave?"
"Stop calling me a knave. Now, where did you come from, dammit?" Marvin inquired once more in a higher tone.
"I've come from the city of Cormyr! Are you happy now?"
(Cormyr? What the hell is that? What's a Corm? Oy. I shouldn't have eaten that three-week old hot dog.)
"Uh. yeah. I guess." Marvin said in a strange tone.
"Ok, bye!" Bark got up, but Marvin fired a shot, which brushed past Bark, and hit the ground behind him. Bark screamed.
"I'm not done, stupid. Now, who do you work for?"
"THE MAGES OF DOOM!! THEY'RE ON THIS MAP!" Bark screamed in fear and in a adrenaline induced state, tossed Marvin his map. "DON'T KILL ME!! AIEEEE!!!" Bark got up, and ran down the forest screaming like no tomorrow.
Marvin picked up the map, and studied it. It was a beautifully crafted map (Cloth? Wha?), tarnished with ink blots, scribbled writing, and food stains. He studied the map, and he eventually figured out that the map was directions, also, for an assasination plot: He figured out all the bad drawings of fire were supposed to be at his house, and that the man with the X's with eyes was supposed to be him. Oh, and that they were also supposed to pick up milk on the way home. Marvin frowned. He then noticed that the HQ was on the map, in a dotted trail a la "The Family Circus", that led back to the base. Marvin smiled. "I'm coming for you. now, to get my truck and-"
Suddenly, a tire flew out from overhead and crashed into one of the trees. Marvin groaned.
