Lond time since Craig+new message=People listining but her gos nutin
Chapter 1 The meeting
Genilia was bored, even though she was in a pub, she was starring at her drink, not a pint of bitter as you may have thought, but some evermead for the time was 1447Dale Reckoning
Genilia was a halfling (Also known as a hobbit), the small stumpy people of luiren, equipped with the finest of weaponry and armour crafted by her father, this was magical studded leather, a fiery long sword and a Great horned helm (The helm wasn’t made by here father, nor made for her but for baldur, founder of baldurs gate) and her thieving skills had more than once got the attention of the shadow thieves of amn. Her friend beside her was Jan, a Gnome, he was showing some (unfortunate) bystanders His automatic crossbow, and Jan was an inventor as well as a mage yet which profession he was best at depends on if you use his inventions or if you see his magic!
Genilia was special, No one but her closest friends knew, and even I do not know it
Many people Came to the Five Flagons, Volo the story teller, Minsc (brains of a 2 year old and the brawn of an ox) and Boo (his miniature giant space hamster) Mincs got Boo when he was setting off hamsters to disarm trap and got too fond of one when he bruised (smashed would be a better word) his head, and (on rare occasions) Elminster. Minsc came up to the bar “Barman! Boo and I would like some...” Minsc asked
“Boo what would you like?”
“Some Bhalor ale.”
“What brings you here in such festive a mood?” asked Genilia
“Ahh It would happen to be Boo’s second birthday.” Shouted Minsc Merrily
Chapter 2 A message
“Ohh here comes Imoen!” Imoen was Genilia’s half sister
“Genilia! Urgent news! From Luiren, Here is the scroll they sent me.”
This is the scroll translated though
I write this in hurry my dear, an evil magic has come over the nearby wood our Village shaman has no idea what has happened and you have experience in adventure and I call upon you in our time of need please hel…
“That is not the end of the message Imoen!” said Genilia “my father has never left a letter like that!”
“He also left the messenger your Birthsword”
“But who would he entrust with these?”
“Jui’ae the village ranger”
“Then we must set off immediately!”
And so the grand adventure begins, although it has hardly begun
“We will need to get equipment,” Said Jan
“Yes, we will, I have on my travels, though collected many things of numerous use but our party will need more than just that, I shall show you to my house.”
Chapter 3 Their journey
When they reached Genilia’s house (Outside of Amn near the Spine of The world) they found the door open
“Quickly it has been broken into! “ Shouted Genilia
They had arrived just in time; some Orcs had smashed the door down.
“Wait” whispered Genilia
Genilia had some how become invisible (this ability is trained to many thieves).
As she crept up she saw that the Orcs were more up-right than she thought possible also she could understand there tongue, they said
“This good place, many treasures!”
“We must tell Him”
“No they won’t!” thought Genilia
She continued her silent walk up to them, for now she knew their plan and who they were (or so she thought). When she reached them she stood behind the leader and swung, the sword had been sharpen the other week so what happen was not to much of a surprise, lets just say she had to wash her tunic later on.
She dealt with them quite well (and a fight is a fight is a fight yet I wish not to write about this one, I will leave it to your imagination).
“Genilia!” said Jui’ae “they were no ordinary Orcs they were, as you may say, Half-Orcs. Did you not under stand what they said? Did you not see them upright?”
“Yes but, I don’t know, they where in my house I…I. ”
“What done is done, you can’t turn back time like uncle…”Said Jan
“We get the idea!” said everyone (except Jan) in unison.
So after getting equipped they set off for luiren. Now Genilia was feeling better and was ready, that night they rested in Genilia’s house Jan was memorising his spells, Jui’ae was keeping look but nothing was out there, not any more.
When they woke up all they saw was a black cloud hanging over the land like a dark omen, which it was.
“The gods are angry in some way,” said a passing dwarf
“Umm” said Genilia not paying attention, she was eating well-deserved venison.
Chapter 4 Luiren
That day was stormy and not much appeared, no tracks, this was not a good sign.
After much walking, climbing and generally being bored, they arrived. The cloud covering the woods next to the village, was thick with blackness, knowing they had to venture into it dispirited the group, and as they grew closer they saw that the town had been somehow raided (under estimating a halfling because of there size was a big mistake) and set on fire
“These tracks” Exclaimed Jui’ae ”There’s only one!”
“Something strange is about, surely one person couldn’t do all this” said Genilia
“Helppppp!” The voice came from an abandoned house, which was on fire.
“Don’t worry!”
When they found the person, under a beam, Jan said “This should do!” and without any incantations, just lifting his hands, he raised the beam.
Genilia rush forward past the flame and grabbed the poor man, then it all went black.
Chapter 5 Trapped
“Orghh”, it was Genilia; she had been knocked out, not physically, but by magic.
“We are awake then, yes? Hrmmm” the person who spoke these words was hidden, probably for dramatical reasons.
“You are more then I expected, Hrmm. But you fell, yesss.”
“I know why you want me!”
“Brain as well as brawn, hehehe hahaha!”
“You shall remain here until I have a Challenge”
The cell she was in was guarded, by spells; spells that could snuff out a life by clicking fingers, and spell that could heal or even bring dead back. So she could not pick the lock, especially one she could not see.
“Imoen!” whispered Genilia
“Yes?” answered Imoen
“I something important to tell you!”
“I, I mean we are Bhaal spawn”
“How…”
“Wait,” said Jui’ae I hear some thing!”
“You will come,” commanded the dark figure, snapping its fingers; opening the cage door of Genilia
Chapter 6 Tests
The room that she was lead into was blank and had a sword and a shield inside
“Take up arms!” The voice commanded.
She did and out rushed an army of goblins all screaming war cries, and of course Genilia fought she slew them all.
“Very good!” Said the Voice” More.”
She fought all day, the cut and scars healed* but her hatred for the goblins is unsurpassed and arises when they come near. When she returned to her cage she slept, only to be woken again when Jui’ae was taken to the Room, as Genilia said, and returned not so well.
*How is explained later in the story
“This must stop, I will reign righteous but kicking upon this foul wizard!” Exclaimed Minsc
“Yes next time he takes me to the Room, I will come back and open the locks, the person who takes us, is not the wizard, an ogre I believe.” Explained Genilia
“More foul beings! Such an evil have I never seen! And all of which must be righteously admonish, admonish was boo’s word I made up the rest”
After that talk they planed in great detail, and when the day came it was put into action.
“More test, come new room.” ordered the ogre
And she went. This time (to her like and dislike) she was faced with an ogre.
“I will crush you, crush…”
“No you won’t!” Replied Genilia.
“Return,” Said the Voice
When she did Genilia hide, no one looked because of Jan’s illusionary magic, which made it look like she went in the cage.
“Quietly now,” Whispered Genilia, as she unlocked the doors to her friend's cages, and as they left foot steps were heard,” There is no escape!” Boomed a close voice, and at that the evil mage transformed into a fiend of the lowest pits of hell, ”You will all die!” Hissed the voice suddenly attacking, the mage ripping with the strength and claws of a beast and Genilia her Birthsword, and after a fight of equal control, the foul mage in striking his final blow hit Genilia ripping the armour off, digging in and poisoning the blood, mortally wounded her.
And as the warlock died he returned to his normal form and then turned to dust.” We must hurry, the mage is died and the enchantments are wearing of and the Dungeon can’t hold any longer,” said Imoen
“But Genilia! Look at her She is not alive we must avenge her!” Cried out Minsc, almost in tears
“Take her outside! We must hurry!” Said Jui’ae.
Chapter 7 Escape
After dodging many beams that had fallen and crawling through the dust they escaped and found them selves, ere long outside, and quick to the command they headed off running behind Jui’ae
“In my Childhood I remember running through these woods as an elf I see this magical place differently, a spring is near her” Said Jui’ae ”Forewords!”
The magical Grove the ventured into was silent, not the silence of cold, hard solitude as in the cells they had in the dungeon, no this was the noise of nature.
“Boo is very excited but I can’t help mourn Genilia this place is not for death it feels wrong for such a moment of despair” Grumbled Minsc “Boo is very sad!”
“Do not despair! I have come here for a reason!” Exclaimed Jui’ae “This is the sight of a magical spring one which the elves of old found and it amazed even them this spring will bring the life back to our lost companion”
And so Genilia was laid onto the fountain and revived.
“Couh...couh what happened? Where am I? Where is…”
“He is dead”
“Genilia!” Cried Minsc, tears were in his eye.” Boo is SO happy!”
“What happened to, to the village?” Asked Genilia
“Come on will go see!”
Chapter 10 Return
When the group reached the village they saw that mostly all of the residents returned safely and as soon as Genilia party arrived her father came and announced, “We owe Genilia much and to thank her we shall have a great celebration in honour of her” And after that and many years later Genilia stay and help rebuild the village.
Long story?
