Chapter 2
The friends made there way up to the inn. This inn was unique in and of the fact that all the rooms and the bar were on the second floor. As the companions ascended the stairs they let the familiar sights and sounds wash over them. Dellthas separated from his friends to talk to the innkeeper while they found seats at a table next to the fire. The friends were sitting for only a few minutes when Dellthas returned saying,
"Follow me were going to go and speak with a few friends of mine." As the friends entered the kitchen a trap door was opened by a cleric of Serratha. They stepped down the ladder into a small secret chamber.
"Wait what about the others?" asked Teidra,
"I told the innkeeper to give them a charm that will teleport them to the top of the stairs." Responded Dellthas. At the sound of there voices a man who had been sitting at a small table stood up he was a huge man one eye was covered by a patch the other was bloodshot. He staggered forward running a hand through his salt and pepper hair saying, " Hello gorgeous how about we have a little fun." Swaying slightly he grabbed Teidras' dove colored robes attempting to tear them off her. Several things happened in that moment Teidra made a small gesture hurling five fiery darts into the drunks chest Dellthas stepped forward his eyes glowing an eldritch purple making a gesture hurling the offender twenty feet across the room and a loud wet crack resounded from a thrown war hammer striking the man square in the forehead. The friends turned to see a beautiful elven cleric of Telaina,
"Tenera!" screamed Teidra running forward embracing her childhood friend,
"Teidra it's so good to see you glad I could help with that guy…" Teidra stared down at the torn sleeve of her robe
"Ah shit these were my only robes I'm going to kill that bastard for ripping them."
"… who's with you is that Jaen and Talan and is that Dell in the trench coat?." Said Tenera.
"Yes it's me and I where this trench coat to honor my friends amidst the red robes since I left the order, oh and Teidra you won't have to kill him I was told to deliver this to you, you were placed into the order of the Black Robes." Said Dellthas. There was a collective gasp from everyone except for Dellthas and Teidra as she took the robes from Dellthas. As the friends spoke down the stairs came the rest of there friends one was a human dressed in the armor of a knight, one was a kobold, another was a human in plain clothes of a middle class worker, the last was a dwarf in scale mail carrying an ax.
"Hey Rengar, Squeaks, Jerral, Tendar." Said the friends in unison
"What happened to your clothes Teidra?" asked the knight Rengar,
"that idiot," she said inclining her head "Which reminds me Dell what spell was it you used to fling that drunken bastard across the room." Asked Teidra,
"Yea we've never seen you use that one before." Said the others. At this Dellthas broke into hysterics, which shocked the others for they rarely heard the usually serious young half elf laugh.
"I'm sorry I forgot we haven't seen each other in ten years. Shortly after we split I met a elven woman named Alana Silverbow," at this many of the male friends laughed seeing as Dellthas didn't have very good luck with women, "keep it in your pants she was my cousin on my elven side. Anyway she took me and trained me in the art of psionics till she was killed by a roving group of vampires." Snarled Dellthas.
"Ahem I apologize for Borats' behavior he's a skilled swordsman but a hopeless drunk, oh by the way my names Teld…" murmured the cleric as he said this a loud crash came from above,
"Ah shit there doing a raid just what we needed ahhh ok Teld revive Borat and provide a distraction me and my freinds will deal with the tyrant and take your vengance for you." stammered Dellthas.
"Sure and Dell thanks." replied Teld hefting a warhammer. "Quickly go you can escape out the backdoor of the kitchen."
As the freinds ran for the door they could hear sounds of battle and Borat cursing, as they ran out the door a cold sneering voice from behind them said "You aren't leaving are you Dellthas?"
"No way it can't be..." said Dellthas spinning around "Telar you traitorus bastard you did forske your oath to Alana." Standing in the doorway was a vampire outfited in a similar outfit to the one they had vanquished on the path. Telar motioned with his hand unleashing a telekinetic blast knocking the freinds off there feet.
"I have come to claim what is mine snd maybe sate my hunger on the elf and half drow both look so deliciuos." said Telar sneering.
"You will not touch my freinds!" screamed Dellthas unleashing a telekinetic blast of his own hurling the vampire through the wall of the inn, again and again Dellthas unleashed these blasts until a squadron of twenty skeletons arrived at which point Jean and Talan dragged Dellthas away.
"Let me go I'm going to rip that bastards head from his fucking shoulders!" screamed Dellthas,
"Theres a time and a place for vengance this isn't it." replied Talan.
"Follow me there are a few things we need to pick up." said Dellthas throwing the mangled flesh that was Telar one last murderous look. The freinds quickly made there way to a small smithy they could feel magic hanging in the air...
