"I hear this guy is the big cheese of this place." Nenam said with weapons
drawn as he walked through the passage into Mistmoore. "He is, and he's
crafty, evil, and can and will kill you before your mind can process the
fact that you're dead." "So, how do we get his tooth? Ask the tooth fairy?"
Nenam inquired as he opened the door to the mansion. "No, she wouldn't give
it to me if she had it." The tiny wizard replied as a dark elf maiden
rushed them. With a quick sidestep, Nenam tripped the elf and sent her
flying out the door, crashing into a gruesome statue of a gargoyle. "Pretty
easy, if I do say so myself." the Ranger said as he continued deeper into
the mansion of Mayong. "If only you knew….." Whiz said to no one as he ran
to catch up.
It was ok when they encountered the brownie. A few minutes ago, it was bad. Now, it was hell. The bold, or stupid, adventurers had become surrounded by undead. Nenam was hacking left, slicing right, casting his simple fireball spell left and right. Whiz was using his Area Effect spells to good effect, but there was a ward on the dammed mansion, preventing it from being destroyed or any magic powerful enough to kill Mayong to be used. But suddenly, the undead stopped swinging, stopped moving, stopped....killing. Then, in unison, they all backed up, forming a circle around the heroes.
A zombie interrupted his meditation. He had news of a couple of heroes trapped inside the mansion. One was a Wood Elf, the other a Gnome. "Good, Gnomes always were so tasty," he thought to himself as Mayong licked his fangs in response. "Keep them there, I want to meet them myself." He would eat well tonight.
Nenam's heart was pounding, no, racing as the undead stood there, motionless, staring at nothing in particular. Whiz was calm, however, despite the fact that he knew this was going to be bad. Very bad. The circle of zombies parted, and a tall cloaked figure walked into the circle, which closed behind him.
His cloak was blood red, his boots were stone black, his leggings and tunic were as blue as the Vampires eyes were red. His hair was white, showing age. But his skin was dark blue, not showing any sign of aging. "I am Mayong Mistmoore," he spoke, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" "My name is Whizbang Dustyboots, this is my guard Nenam. I have a proposition for you. I have this here assassin spider. It poisons whoever you tell it to. I take it a vampire like you would want one to kill someone during the day that can't wait until the night. I want to wager it against you. A game of chance." "What do you want if I lose?" Asked Mayong. "A tooth from your own mouth," the Wizard replied, "Nothing more." "What is the bet then?" Whiz explained the bet to the Vampire. Whiz would hold a diamond in one hand, a piece of coal in another. All Mayong had to do was to guess where the diamond was, and he would get the diamond. "Fine, lets get this over with." said the Vampire. Whiz took two pieces of coal from his pocket and closed his hands around them, and held them in front of him. "Guess." the tiny caster said to the looming vampire. Mayong pointed to his right hand. "That one. I win." Quickly, Whiz focused his energy into his right hand, using it to pressurize the coal. The piece of coal was now a diamond, which he gladly showed to Mayong. "Wrong, I win." Mayong picked the gnome up with one hand, hissing in his face. "Impossible, I WIN. Kill them!" He commanded his minions as he flung the wizard into the wall.
Nenam was into the air before Whiz left Mayong's fingertips. His fist slammed into the Vampires face, which wasn't defended in any way since he was overcome with rage. Mayong's head snapped back violently, his tooth flying backwards and sending the vampire to the ground. Nenam kept going, however, following the tooth to the ground.
Whiz hit the wall, but his quick thinking threw up a mental shield before he hit. He was casting the evacuation spell before he hit the ground. All Nenam had to do was to wait.
Mayong was on his feet instantly. How dare a Fier'Dal strike him, how dare him! Mayong spun around, searching for the infidel. He saw him, pocketing his former left fang. Mayong launched himself at him, drawing his dagger in mid-air, as he was about to strike....
The air about Whiz crackled violently, with a portal opening around Nenam and Whiz. Wind was being sucked into them. The portals were stable, and they closed around them, but with another passenger, the Vampire.
