Molikai/MastersOfTheLabyrinth

It Began at the Central stairwell of the Master's labyrinth domain: The Silent and swift retribution of the Vengeful dead, the Infinite Divine Blessings of the Crimson Death, and the Inexorable and Certain Executioner of the Ebon serpent, All gathered together for the first time. While they knew each others titles, from critiques during their own training, This was the first time they had actually met: THey were asked by the Soulsteel Serpent to proceed through the labyrinth, and Reclaim his Citadel from those whom had claimed it in his long absence.

And so, they proceeded through the labyrinth. Soon, the first quandary arose: Swift and Blessings could both move in the darkness with absolute certainty, but Executioner still required the light: THe light, of course, interefered with Swift's vision. However, a compromise was reached and, following the map they had been given, they cam to an area of shimmering esssence, flowing between veins of crystal; amongst them, what looked like a dead body lay. After muc debate, they decided to try and pass through, without allowing the light to hit them: the first to do so discovered he could hear what his companions said, but they could not hear him. As each passed through, what they had heard came withthem: the last to pass through accidentally touched the flows.. hereupon they took on the colours of his Anima, to no noticeable Ill effect. Further investigation proved that the effect was totally harmless, and that the figure in the floor was merely a strangely shaped form of stone. I love paranoid tricks like this.

Eventually, they came to a rise, and could see two sentries in the distance: Swiift slew the pair of them with his bow, before they had a chance to react, but one fell against a bell, which created a terrible cacophany of sound: there was no noticeale rsut, after it had been silenced, however.

After some debate, a column of ragged, Ill-trained troops arrived: THey (fairly politely) asked who the Players were.
'We are the servants of the Soulsteel Serpent.'

'Who?'

death!

'death' being Blessings unleashing Death of Obsidian butterflies while the others held the warriors off. ooops. they proceeded down the slope, which opened up into the cavern: a Rude village of worshippers, and the keep further within the rude town. Again, they are asked who they serve. Again, when the people have no idea what they mean, death is unleashed. Panic ensues. Executioner and Blessings stay at the entrance, fighting, while swift bounds on ahead, over rooftops, to get into the keep, and asks to be presented to the guy in charge. meanwhile, everyone has realised that the sensible thing for badly organised, poorly trained spectres to do when faced with a pair of angry deathknights is to run away. of course, said deathknights being a little razy, they chase, eventually entereing the keep. by this point of curse, they are glowing like bonfires, and everyone is keepingtheir distace. Upon entering the throne room, the two of them see the Nephwrack who ran the joint about to blast Swoft with some horrific effect: Not bothering to say anything else, Executioner hits him with his lightning hatchets, and Blessings statrs to launch.. you guessed it.. obsidian butterflies again. At the end of the day, the three of them had taken the keep, done massive damage to the town, and there were bout 20 spectres left. Having done this, they notified the master, And he came and.. Congratulated them.
