OOC: Interesting character, Ult_Mac_Dady. A boy on 'Entrana' with no 'knowledge' about anything and 'relatively' good looking 'clothes' on. Hopefully he develops rather nicely during this.

THE WORLD OF BLISSARIA
_______________________________________________

"Why in Saradomin's name would anyone write a diary entry on a sword?" asked Alex 43.

"I suppose that is another mystery that will be uncovered in the near future." replied Gia.

They were surrounded with a brief dull-grey light which drowned out their surroundings, and when it suddenly vanished, they were standing in another cave, but much darker.

Arasa explained that the bell brought them to this place because it lead to the castle in this land - the place they would find a portal that led to another world. Whether or not it was still inhabited by monsters, however, she was unable to determine. One this Alex 43 did know, this page hunt wasn't going to be just a walk in the park.

Karl looked at the sword like a priceless treasure, occasionally swinging it at random to test its balance and durability. Seeing as he was the only elf with us, he was the only one fit to wield that sword. Whenever we tried using it, it either slipped from our hand or went completely off-course when we swung. Oh well, I'm better off with a spear.

"Strange." said Arasa, "It shouldn't have teleported us this far from it."

"I suspect something is blocking the teleportation field." replied Alex 43, "It might be the abyss."

Gia was thinking about something else at that time.

"We're going to have to climb that cavern again when we go back to Gielinor, aren't we?" asked Gia.

"I trust you can manage?" asked Alex 43.

"Of course." he replied with a smile, "It's no fun when it's not challenging, is it?"

"There." said Arasa, pointing.

They had left the cave and saw the sky for the first time. It was similar to Gielinor's, except it glowed a dark misty red rather then a brilliant blue. 3 suns hovered over the horizon, signifying that night was about to fall over the land. Up ahead, on the horizon, a large central tower of a castle was easily noticeable amidst the mountains and forest surrounding it. Strange sounds emitted from the heart of the forest that put all 5 of them on guard almost instantly.

"You were saying?" asked Alex 43.

"I still stand by it." replied Gia.

"Good." said Alex 43, returning the smile, "So do I."

-----Blaze Elf City - A minute before leaving-----

Karl 67 wondered what the name of this world was. upon asking, he learned it was called "Blissaria"

He thanked the elf for the info and handed that elf the equipment he looted from the battle. He only kept three crystal seeds as well as the prize sword.

-----Surface of Blissaria - outside of the Forest-----

The sounds from the forest were pretty awkward, yet pretty familiar. Karl 67 held up the sword and concentrated his hearing more, as an attempt to figure out what the emitter is.

A dozen creatures crawled out of the forest towards the group. Gia slammed his sword down on two of them, but they were still moving. Karl 67 slashed another one in a powerful and fast combination. Maeteru and Arasa leaped back a few feet and charged spells. Alex 43 kicked off one of the creatures as three of them tried to attack at once. Valence was also preparing a Magma Elemental attack with the other magi. He got a Magma elemental summoned and both it and he charged into the fray with the other close-range fighters.

By the time the spelled were charged, the dozen were already dead. The spells were not to go to waste though, as two dozen others arrived. The melee fighters leaped back, except the magma elemental, which spread out and converted into a defensive wall of fire.The creatures attempted to get around it, but Maeteru and Arasa unleashed their barrage of Mastery-Class Spells. The two dozen were wiped out and the Magma Elemental was sent forward like a super-charged Fire Wave. If the spells didn't get them all, the Magma Elemental did.

Karl 67 identified the critters. They were Abyssal walkers. The things had long pointed snouts and walked on two menacing-looking legs. Their heads resembled bladders with spines on the front, including the snout.

"Looks like Zaros' army is starting to catch on to us," He told the rest. They recognized the things as well.

"Knowing that it's us, I'd expect some Guardians," Gia replied.

The Abyssal Creatures list consisted of four classes. There were the Leeches, which resembled the walkers except they had no legs. The guardians, which had cubes for heads, each side portraying their status, whether it be hurt, angry, or even dead. They were humanoid and packed a punch. Lastly were the Demons. The most common being in the Slayer Tower in Morytania back at Gielinor. All of them were as deadly as they were menacing-looking.

The group of six began to enter the forest towards the castle.

"How do we know where we're going in this forest?" Maeteru asked. Karl 67 slashed at a tree, hoping to mark it as a way of navigation. The mark regenerated until it looked like nothing happened. Gia swung his own sword, clear-cutting the next ten yards of trees, but they regenerated almost as quickly.

"A complication in getting there, eh?" Valence asked.

"Valence, you don't seem to be needed. You can go back now." Karl 67 replied.

"Understood. Oh, by the way, The pipeline is damaged, so the System hasn't been working."

"I see..." Karl 67 suspected it being Valence that caused it. It's going to be the 7th time he did that. Valence usually did that when something personal was going on. In this case, it must be heritage. Valence disappeared in a purple orb which exploded into blue smoke, which in turn disappeared without a trace.

Gia, being the tallest, standing at 8 feet, could see over the trees for the first hour of travel, but then the trees became taller than him.

Their long trek through the forest had begun.

Sorry I'm taking so long, my comp has been messing up.

__________________________

The Shores of Eastern Karamja
__________________________

The cool breeze brought the stench of death through the jungles of Karamja as Krusk and his crew carried the crates of fish, scimitars, and other valuables to the ship.

"Captain! The seas are smashing and the clouds are trembling with thunder! Should we stay here for the night?"

Krusk, although a viscous killer and non-believer of the common gods was still a spiritual and very superstitious man.

"If we stay here for the night I am afraid the spirits of the dead will rip our souls out... But, if we should set sail we are sure to sink in the bottom of the seas."

"So what are we to do?" asked the pirate as he loaded up one of the last crates.

"There is an island north of here, less then a kilometer away and the only inhabitants are just a bunch of monks."

"Aye captain!" said a few of the pirates as the ship started to set sail.

The members of the Cutthroat Clan admired Krusk. He was more then just a leader, he was more like a father, or, big brother, especially since he recruited most of them 30 years ago when they were just children.

"Land Ho!"

What no one knew about Krusk was that his heart was just as big as his strength. During his free time he either trained or wrote poetry, songs, or stories. He kept these recollections in a secret compartment under the planks of his captain's room.

"The wind is getting stronger! Thank god we made it" yelled a thug as the ship came into the docks.

"I'd rather blame them for starting it!" snarled Krusk as they lowered the planks to the dock.

Krusk rarely showed happiness, fright, sadness, or any other emotion in public. The only time he really did was when he was running through the forest as a young boy and accidentally crushed a rabbit. He was even more saddened when the humans in town laughed at the small half-orc and just threw the carcass into the fire. This was also the day he ever killed another humanoid

"Sorry, but these are private doc- Oh Saradomin! What kind of hideous beast are you?!"

"The kind that does this!" howled Krusk as he knocked the monk back with the back side of his ax. Krusk walked over the dazed body and past the frightened monks.

That night most of the men slept on the ship but some, including Krusk, made camp on the shores while he stared at the sea.

"Is something worrying you?" asked one of Krusk's right hand man.
"What makes you ask that Griggory?"
"Well, do you remember twenty years ago? When I stowed away on your ship?"

"Grig' ol' boy, I can tell you every event hat happened on this day ten centuries ago, of course I remember."
"Anyways, you have always been predictable during those years, but you have been acting strangely this past month."

"Your a holy man aren't you?"
"Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?"

"One of your gods, I think, contacted me in a dream. I'm not going into the details about it but I feel that e needs to contact me."
"Oh! Blood Farmer! To meet the glorious gods is something to be joyous about, not depressed!"

"Glorious?! Ha! You are like a brother to me, but, you humans, you are so naive! You men bend history so, so, much. These "gods", as you say, were just mere men with magical, not godly, powers. I could have easily crushed them with one blow if I wanted to."

Standing up Krusk whispered "Griggory, you are one of the best pirates I have ever met, and soon, the whole world will know you because you will be the same as what I am now."
"What are you saying?"

"I have lived four thousand long years wasting my life and now I must find my destiny."
"No!" yelled Griggory as he grabbed Krusk's arm, "You can't leave us!"

"I will always be a pirate at heart, so I will keep this patch, but I leave my hat in your care."

Krusk dropped his hand and let it splash in the waves of sand. He started to walk away when he the shouting coming from behind him.
"No!!!!" You are a brother to me!!! You can't leave! I know! I challenge yo! The stakes-- you leaving or not!" screamed Griggory as he lunged after Krusk with his Dragon Scimitar, "Have at you!"

Right when he thought he had Krusk the half-orc grabbed Griggory by the neck, turned him around,and held him tight until he lost his consciousness.

"I am sorry friend..."

____________

The Next Day
____________

Griggory had found Krusk's hat lying next to him with a note in it which included a list of daily duties, the rations for each day, and a list of all crewmen.

Now, Krusk was on his journey...

He was surprised by how many people didn't stare ate him as much without his pirate hat on. Krusk had swam from th island of Entrana to Crandor and then ended up on the shores infested with Mogres. After Krusk dried his equipment and brushed off the seaweed he started to head north. But, he did not know of the party he would eventually cross paths with...

If anyone wants to included Krusk in their plot make sure he does not come nicely and remember that most people he crosses he will ambush/pillage.

I just hope I can force him into the story. It's going to be harder than having 4 mods leave then introducing them back in.

Is Krusk on the island or Griggory?

My character has the ability to bend heat, cold, movement, and energy. IE if he catst a heat blast the air around him will get colder.

He can transfer energy to another person.

I think this is more realistic than just pulling fire out of nowhere.[/OOC]

"Why would it not?" Questioned the monk.

"I wonder if THEY know." Whispered the boy to himself.

"They know what boy?" said the monk

"Um... I never introduced myself did I?" Asked the boy looking as if he could not tell the monk anything. "My name is..."

But he could not finish, because another monk pushed open the door quite fast and smashed it into the wall. The noise masked the boy's voice. The monk ran up to the original monk, whispered something, and ran right out.

"Who was that!" shouted the boy.

"Josh, a monk" calmly replied the monk.

"Whats your name?"

"David" said the monk

Then they heard a banging outside. The monk began to move towards the door, but the boy was there, staff in-hand, before the monk took his third step.

"Please boy, hide!" said the monk "Dieing wont do either of us any good!"

"It may be nothing," said the boy, "but if it comes to it, can i use some of your energy?"

"You can..." said the monk

"Yes" said the boy.

Then...

Not sure what will happen next. Witerz block plz.

OOC: It might take a while, seeing as our crew is in a completely different dimension at the moment.

_________________________________________

BLISSARIA FOREST
_________________________________________

"Have you ever seen trees like this before?" asked Gia.

The forest wasn't consisting of pines or spruce. These trees were long and twisted, bearing no fruit or leaves, but instead large patches of inflated bark that appeared to burst out the seeds from random areas. They had to be careful to avoid these explosions or else they would be covered in not only the seeds, but also the thick gooey sap that went with it. This regeneration wasn't natural.

The sky darkened to a black and the forest began to come alive with noise. Fortunately, each of them had their own light source: Alex 43: his chest symbol, Gia: his eyes, Karl: his sword, Maeteru a quick light-orb spell, and Arasa with one of her bells.

Suddenly, Alex 43 tripped over a dead abyssal demon. It was missing several limbs and covered in roots that were slowly squeezing the blood out of it. It appeared that the trees themselves were consuming this dead body of its internal features. There was a moment's silence as the group absorbed the shock and picked up the pace.

"Castle of Death." said Alex 43, "I suppose it's to be expected that the forest kills as well."

"I don't like this." said Gia.

"It's simple enough." said Karl 67, "We don't die and they don't eat us."

"I'm into that." replied Alex 43.

A hour of walking later bestowed upon them a sight that made them almost throw up. Several abyssal creatures were caught almost inside the trees, held in by twisting roots and over-growing bark. Some of them were even still alive, and were shrieking into the night in an attempt to escape, but it was all they could do.

"Change of plans." said an un-nerved Karl 67, "Let's stay away from the trees altogether."

"Ah, I like it when you think outside the box." replied Alex 43 almost as nervously.

"Guys, keep your wits about you." said Gia, "They're just trees. So long as we move quickly, we'll be fine."

"You're right." replied Alex 43, "They can't get us if we-aaaaah!!!"

Alex 43 was yanked off his feet by a root that entangled his foot and was being quickly dragged into the darkness. Gia, panicking, gave immediate chase and was closely followed by the rest, fearing separation.

Gia finally found Alex 43 on the ground. His spear was stabbed into the ground and he was holding on for dear life.

"Get off me! I got no insides!" Alex 43 shouted to the darkness behind him, but nothing listened. The root expanded itself to tie around his legs and around his waist, and several others were going for his arms. Gia swung his sword and sliced the root going for his left arm, but another swift root took its place and grabbed Alex 43.

Suddenly, Gia took a hit to his own arm. A root from the tree behind him took interest in White Dragon and wrapped itself around. Gia let out a loud roar of effort and yanked, not only the root, but the entire tree out of the ground in a hard forceful pull, sending it toppling over into several others.

"Get Alex 43!" shouted Karl 67, who was also being attacked by the trees along with Maeteru and Arasa.

By now, Alex 43 was almost completely covered in roots and was being dragged away again. Gia gave chase again but was pulled back by 2 other renegade trees, to which he deliberately ripped out of the ground as well.

Unfortunately, in the time it took him to break free from the tangle of roots, Alex 43 had vanished. Karl 67, Maeteru, and Arasa too refuge in the clearing that Gia made by ripping out the trees that grabbed him and were, at the moment, out of range from the roots.

"ALEX 43!" shouted Gia into the dark forest, "ALEX 43!"

Only the empty silence save for the rustling of a few unworthy roots answered his called.

"NOOO!" he roared into the night sky.

"No, he CAN'T be gone!" said Karl, "He can't be!"

There was a long silence. Gia had his face in his claws, resisting the urge to weep and gathering his wits. Although Alex 43 was gone, they weren't, and they still had to get out alive.

"Listen up." said Gia finally, snapping out of his grieving, "Apparently they take movement as seriously as death. If we travel at a steady pace and keep each other in close contact, we should be able to get through this. We're almost there."

"What?" asked Maeteru, "We can't just leave Alex 43!"

"I know, but if we went to search for him, we'd probably get taken too." replied Gia, "At least we can make his death a distraction for us to get through."

"No." said Karl 67, "I gotta find him. You guys go without me. Whatever happens, Guthix is watching over me." He attempted to rush towards where Alex 43 vanished, but Gia grabbed him.

"We're not losing you too, Karl!" said Gia.

"Let me go!" Karl 67 shouted, "I gotta find him! I gotta-"

"SPIRIT OF PUREBLADE! STRIKE!"

Alex 43's voice boomed over the heavens. Above them, a bright white glow appeared in the clouds, lighting up the sky and the forest around them. Suddenly, the giant lightning sword they knew so well shot down into the area in front of them and shot a huge chorus of lightning around the forest, vaporizing some trees and burning away others. The trees that it did not hit seemed to shrivel up because of the light alone shining on them. Finally, the sword itself exploded in a huge blast of lightning orbs, converting and and all trees within a 60 feet radius into ash and all was dark once again.

Gia saw the light from Alex 43's symbol dimly glowing up ahead and rushed over to help him, Karl, Maeteru, and Arasa right behind him.

"You don't know how much of a relief this is." said Gia, almost in tears as he lifted Alex 43 up and hugged him. His armor was bent and twisted in many areas because of the roots, his left leg being the worst.

"I hoped I wouldn't have to use Pureblade this soon," said Alex 43, "But it couldn't have been helped."

"At least you cleared the trees away for us." said Maeteru.

They looked. The remainder of the trees separating them from the castle had been converted to nothing more then a disintegrated ash. Trees can respawn from a chopping, but there was no recovering when the entire root system keeping them alive was nothing more then a smoldering ruin.

"Let's go." said Karl 67, "Before they spawn more trees."

"I need you to carry me." said Alex 43, "I'm too weak to move."

"Of course!" replied Gia, slinging Alex 43 over his back and dashing for the castle alongside Karl, Arasa, and Maeteru. Castle of death or not, it HAD to be better then this horror of a forest.

Karl 67 · **Posted:** April 6th, 2007, 11:15 am

-----Mastery of the White Dragon HQ - Weapons Locker A-6-----

"Valence, what are you doing back so early, weren't you with the others?"

"I was, but I felt I was no longer needed. I also have personal busines to take care of."

"I was wondering why the System was inoperable."

"... Shut up."

Valence and another Mastery member he was familiar with were looking for weapons for a military operation about to go on in half an hour. They had a crew of ten members, including Valence. They would separate into two teams and complete the certain objectives to complete the mission assigned to them.

This mission, however, was of incredible importance.

"The others are ready to teleport. do you have what you need?"

Valence checked under his black naval shirt. A glittering chain mail comprised of runite seemed to glow. He felt inferior inside the armor. But for this mission, he will need it.

"I'm ready. Lets go."

Valence rubbed his Mastery Amulet, same with the other member. When Valence could see his surroundings again, he was with the nine other members. They were in three groups already.

They were currently in the Fremmenik Province. The river was a hundred yards south. The river was literally flooded as the dam built at the Troll Stronghold was deliberately smashed. The river is pretty wild, any Abyssal creature that dared to cross it would not survive. Survivors were finished off by Barbarian defenses.

"So, Valence... What's the mission?" A member asked.

"Azzandra's Shock Troops have attacked the Barbarian Outpost, our only base that is across the river. The barbarians managed to hold back, but they were distracted, as the Abyssal creatures have released the Penance.

Penance, the mere name strikes fear into warriors. The Barbarians in the Barbarian Outpost contained them, using them as a form of a Rite of Passage for future Barbarian Warriors. It trained them in combat and teamwork at once, bonding their brethren together as to make them nearly invincible shock troops for the Nomads of the North.

One thing that was strange to others was the fact they the barbarians claimed the Penance to be brought by the Gods as a test for Worth. The entire ideas were pretty absurd anyways.

But the thing that mattered now was the fact that the Barbarians are holed up in their outpost with Penance swarming across Northern Kandarin. This crew of the Mastery has been ordered to remove all Penance from the Outpost all the way to the cliff side that led down to what was the Dwarven Outpost.

Seemed simple, except for one major snag:

They need to GET to the outpost first in order to get suitable provisions to attack the enemy. They also don't know what to do if they ran into the Penance Queen; as they lack an Egg launcher or anything to make Omega Eggs out of.

The group silently sped towards the lighthouse, as to run across the lesser-known salt collections. The reason they were lesser known was that they were apparently washed out by the increased river size. Valence and the others noticed that this area wasn't as wild as the main river.

Valence tested the water with a Magma elemental, the water was waist deep and still pressurized enough to not be considered a safe ford. Valence asked the others if they brought a grapple. He immediately caught a crossbow loaded with one. Everyone else had theirs.

"You should remember yours," A Mastery Warrior said.

Valence shrugged and lined up with the rest of them along the shore of the ford. They fired at once as if they were experts at missions like this. The hooks grappled onto random things on the other side. Rocks, trees, even ground. The entire group pulled themselves across the water. Thanks to the elemental Valence provided, the water was not as cold. There was thin forest ahead of them when they made it to land. They slung their crossbows and rolled up their grapple ropes. They then pulled out Mastery-Class weapons and plodded through the forest, which, thanks to Penance, was all marshy.

The Outpost was missing its roof when it came into view. The Agility-course was burning and the houses around the course were missing. Barbarian corpses littered the entrance to the Outpost, which was barricaded with a powerful-looking door. The Mastery group hailed to anyone who was still alive. The familiar face of Captain Cain appeared in a makeshift tower. which stood above the enterance.

"Hail Mastery of the White Dragon. What brings you here?" the captain called out.

"We need this area as a vantage point and we don't want to lose it." Valence called back, "The Penance are to be cleared out of this entire region so we can fortify defenses on the cliff side to the south."

"We have a huge load of egg launchers and enough wood to stop a Dwarven steam engine from breaking through; we'll help out."

The gates opened and a huge cart loaded with egg launchers rolled out. The vehicle was easily almost as big as twenty dwarf multi-cannons. It was loaded with fifteen Egg launchers and two multi-cannons. All of which manned by a powerful-looking barbarian Warrior. The treads were spiked and pushed by a steam-based engine. Five dwarves were spotted working on the engine making sure it continued to work.

"Witness the greatest creation ever built by the minds of humans and the hands of dwarves, We call it "Pride of Keldagrim". It is loaded to the brim with firepower capable of taking on the Queen herself. We have tonnes of green, red, blue and omega eggs and enough cannon ammunition to flatten Falador itself. Isn't this thing a beaut?"

"Charmed." Valence replied as he and the others hopped on board. The deck was surprisingly roomy, even with the added crew. There were even some archers ready to attack close-ranged enemies, and another five warriors for closer-ranged combat. This thing was a war machine by itself.

"You think we could build more of these?" Valence asked Cain.

"Most likely, but we'll need to secure the blueprints away from Azzandra's forces, so they don't get to use these against us." Cain replied, "For now, we push the enemy out. More troops are still in the barracks ready to help us build defenses on the cliff edge by the time we win."

The steam engine roared and the machine moved southward. The Penance will not know what was coming to them.

-----Blissaria - Castle of Death courtyard-----

Almost immediately after they entered the courtyard, the weather seemed to have changed. It was pretty stormy and occasional lightning flashed into existence and left as swiftly as it came.

Karl 67 could see the rest of his comrades as they walked. "This place is based around fire... how is there rain?"

"This place is most likely called the Castle of Death because Blaze Elves hate water, most likely because it's their opposite element and might die in it." Maeteru's voice replied.

"Alright everyone, this castle is pretty huge and the portal is going to be hard to find. We have two options: One, we separate and meet at the entrance hall after an hour of searching, whether we found the portal or not. Or two: We stay together, the search takes longer, but we don't have to search for everyone else." Arasa explained to everyone.

"I would of course be easy to find if we took option one." Gia said after briefing.

"We'll have to take up a vote," Alex 43 confirmed.

Is Krusk on the island or Griggory?

Griggory will be sailing his ship between Port Sarim, Karamja, Pest Control Oupost, Entrana, Tutorial Island, Ape Atoll, and Crandor. He will make stops at all these islands if you want him in your story. But, if you are sailing in these waters their is a always a chance that he will attack your ship to loot since he is a pirate (theres yourself a good action scene

)

____________________________

Edgeville
____________________________

Krusk has been wondering for about a day until he finally found his home town of Edgeville. Krusk first decided to check his old home, he saw it was built back together with a new family of store owners and he noticed that they built the barn that his parents had always wanted.

After resting a bit Krusk decided to find his master, Vanaka. He was one of the few that new about the secret trapdoor in the old church south of the bank. He was also one of the few that new why it was there.

When Krusk was a child he always liked to see what others did and would even spy on neighbors. One day, Krusk was walking around the backside of the bank to see what some guard's mistress was withdrawing from the bank when he heard a horrific moan come from the old church. He decided to see what was up when he saw the priest their opening all the caskets of the heroic ancestors of Runescape that were tombed their. It turned out that the priest of Edgville was actually a Necromancer which were starting to be common in the olden days.

But the Necromancer hadn't summoned the undead to do evil. He had summoned and sentenced them to live under the church for an eternity to keep the Giants from coming back to the surface but since Necromancy was frowned upon the villagers burned the church and the necromancer after word got out of what the priest was doing.

Now, Krusk was climbing down the latter as the memories of his past were running through his mind. Krusk was trekking through the underground lair. It was dark and musty as the stench of the zombies, skeletons, and hobgoblins filled the dark crevice of the underground passage. Krusk was feeling around the place until he saw te flaming torch at the end of the tunnel.

He saw the shadowy figure of what he assumed was Vanaka or one of his students. He was here to get some sort of mental elp about his dreams from him. As he got closer and closer he saw the shadowy figure thrusting in different directions very quickly, then he started to hear the sound of blades, then some grunting. He started to urge closer to see what was going on until finally, he heard a lound thump as something hit the ground. The shadowy figure he had seen was hooded and had a Dragon Dagger, and beside him Krusk saw Vanka laying face down on the ground in a puddle of blood. The hooded figure, seeing Krusk, quickly lunged at himdoing some damage to him.

"AGHH!" growled Krusk as the poison of the dagger started to sink in to his blood. "Take this!" yelled Krusk as he lunged his Greatax at the man nearly ripping his upper body off of his lower torso if it wasn't for whatever chain body he had underneath his robes.

"You shail not prevail..." said the figure as his last breath escaped his limp body. Krusk, still in shock, went to Vanaka to try and help him but as he got closer his vision got blurry and he couldn't hear anything until when he was beside Vanaka and Krusk himself had collapapsed.

The poison had set in...

______________________________

The Dark Forest of Blissaria
______________________________

Krusk awoke with a note strapped to his wrist saying:

"Today is not the dy you die,
You have much to do in the forest,
We will meet soon my friend."

Krusk was still dizzy and passed out again...

___________________

A Few Hours Later
___________________

Krusk had felt the sun high above the trees shining on his face. He first got up to see check his surroundings. First he saw a man-made campfire that had been doused with water. Beside it he found a pack with monkfish, potions, and a map. He also noticed that his weapon was gone. On the map he saw the cropped circle that he was currently standing in and a few yards later was a small trail iwth an arrow indicating that that was the path he needed to take and a about a kilometer away from the trail was a road that said "DANGER! DO NOT ENTER" scribbled all over it but they met at a crossroad about seven kilometers north and then he noticed a picture of a castle not far from the crossroads.

Krusk ate some fish and started to head onto the trail...

Karl 67 · **Posted:** April 6th, 2007, 1:36 pm

OOC: How the heck did Krusk get through the portal to Blissaria?!

-----Outskirts of the Barbarian Outpost Ruins-----

The Pride of Keldagrim lumbered across the plain pretty silently, even with the steam engine. They easily obliterated a few hundred Penance within the past hour. Patrols of warriors returned from the entire region of the Outpost and confirmed the elimination of all Penance presence.

By then, towers and walls were built at the top of the cliff, with the rock solidified without any hopes of breaking. The pathway was also prepared with a load of towers. The army of Barbarians reached 250 when some Fremmenik Warriors came to help.

"This Vantage point gives us the River leading down to the waterfall, We're going to be at an advantage..." Valence thought. He turned towards Captain Cain. He was sitting at a table with Commander Connad and two Privates named Logan and Perrdur

"What's our attack plan?"

"Well, your mission as the Mastery are already done, but we could use some aid."

"How so?" Valence asked.

"Your friends there can go back to their Headquarters. I'll need you and your abilities."

"Alright, shoot." Valence said after signaling the other members to disband. The group nodded and teleported back to HQ.

"You are to take the Pride of Keldagrim out on a real test run. If it works out well, We'll send this back to the builders as a morale boost, and they will most likely build faster and better. Failure on this will cause the dwarves to lose confidence. We cannot let this happen."

"I understand," Valence replied.

"Then hop aboard that thing and give those things what Guthix made them for."

Valence thought that the only place for evil was hell, so he got the phrase. He got onto the bridge of the vehicle and ordered full speed ahead. He slung his scimitar in case he needed it and summoned a Mastery-Class Interactive World Map. He zoomed in on their position, inside the foot-long/wide square until he could see the machine and the next fifty yards.

They just got out of the fortification and Valence already detected Penance.

-----Flashback for Karl 67...

-----Thunderbird Mountain - Battleground-----

Karl 67 ducked a flying leech. The fortress was being pummeled, even with the eight Void Towers were obliterating 800 enemies per minute. Warriors of other origin were being diminished in numbers below the Main Tower, where he stood, charging the most powerful Claws of Guthix spell that could ever be conjured. The spell alone would be enough to obliterate the Twelve Nexuses surrounding the entire base.

Karl 67 cursed under his breath at Alex 43's lateness. Especially since the ThunderBirds, though being hidden in the cavern-like cellar beneath, were most likely fearful of their lives as well as their home, which is being pummeled by nexuses.

The other sad part is that instead of the lush green forests consisting of pines standing almost a mile high, were all gone. In place was sand. Even the fortress was seemingly made out of sand. Due to some sandstorms, so did the nexuses. Zaros' power had the upper hand.

Karl 67 stomped on the leech before it could corrupt the giant purple pulsing energy orb and continued inserting Blood, Air, and Fire runes into the orb, increase its power even more.

Karl 67 shouted more orders to other soldiers seemingly confused. They got to their senses and continued to guard the hole that was blown through the first wall out of three.

"Ten minutes until regeneration of the walls!" A Void Knight shouted. Those words boosted morale as the warriors began to push the Abyssal creatures back through the hole which they broke through. Once the wall regenerated, Everyone could rest until another breach occured. They have been fighting for about 40 minutes straight. Where was Alex 43?!

OOC: How the heck did Krusk get through the portal to Blissaria?!

[OOC]
Someone took him their while he was passed out from the poison. But, I can't tell you who it is yet.

Krusk has been walking for hours through the trees of this strange land. He is running low on food and needs to find a good place to camp out for the night.

As he walks through the forest he makes sure that he is aware of all his surroundings because he feels that their will be something ready to jump out at him and he must be prepared at all times. All he sees is the dwindling path about nine feet wide and the mountainous trees on each side of the trail. All he hears is te strange noise of creatures walking through the forest and he's not sure but he could have sworn that he keeps hearing people having conversations but everytime he tried to stop and listen he couldn't hear them.

Krusk was getting closer to the crossroads as his feet were getting more and more tired.
"I hope this crossroad will be a good resting spot." Krusk said to himself as his feet were starting to drag from the tiredness...

___________________

About an Hour Later
___________________

"Finally" murmered Krusk as the crossroads came into his sight. He started to walk towards the crossroads until he heard music. It was a very luring tune coming from behing a large boulder set in the middle of the four roads. Sounded like a flute or some sort of musical pipe. As he walked closer and closer he could feel the music regenerating like a river of energy through his skin. Krusk looked over teh stone to see a figure in cyan robes with a white trim. He was also wearing a triangular gold ammulet with a thick, brown string. Beside him laid a staff with a brown orb on it. All ofthis looked wothless to him so he decided he won't rob him.

"Excuse me." Said Krusk. The man quickly looked up and stopped playing his musical instrument.
"Oh, why hello there Krusk!"
"How do you know my na-"
"Oh I know everythign about you dear boy!"
"Who are you?" asked Krusk with a puzzled look on his face.
"Why, I am the Avatar of Armadyl, The Great God of Purity! Did you not notice my music purified your body?"
Krusk sat silently with that puzzled look still on his face.
"Oh you don't know what I'm doing here do you? Well, I'll tell you how it all began..."

________________________________________________

The Avatar tells Krusk about the god Armadyl [OOC] INFO

Krusk pulls his thoughts together as the man rummages through his pack that was hidden from Krusk's sight earlier.
"Here take this." Says the man as he hands Krusk a strange staff. "you can use it to communicate with me anytime as long as you are standing near a fire but right now their are some people in the forests that can help you leave this dreadful land."
"Dreadful?" asked Krusk, "This seems like jsut a peacful forest."
"Oh, to the naked eye it does but the deeper in it you go you will see that change. Their are some of teh most unimaginable beasts you couldn't think of. Also, I know your low on food now, so here." The man hands Krusk some sharks for his pack.
"Now, I am going to teleport you out of this forest to that castle on your map. After these people take you back home you need to make contact with me so we can discuss that dream of yours."
"Why can't you just teleport me back home and how do you know about taht dream?" asked Krusk but it was to late- The man raised his staff, said some sort of canitation and Krusk's world just filled with a purple light. He could feel himself falling deep into the purple vertex. In just a matter of seconds Krusk felt him slam into the ground. It was dark but he could still see his surroundings. Looking up he saw the castle, turning his head around, he saw four humanoids and a large creature large white creature all glowing with light.

[OOC]Hehe I forgot about pureblade ^^

Heat then cold combo is good for my dude, and cold then heat is too. Remember, he sucks the cold/heat out of the air.

David = The monk

And can I make Kruzina one of the 7 worlds?[/OOC]

Then the island shook, miscellaneous items fell of shelves, and the door flew open. In came a beast that barely fit inside the doorway. The boy backed up and looked at the monk.

“Energy, protect David the monk!!” shouted the boy as he pointed his staff at the monk. A purple ball of energy came from David’s chest and expanded into a ball of protection. The beast swung at the boy with his sward, but missed.

The boy then said “Heat blast!” You could feel the drop in the temperature as the boy was pushed back 6 inches. The beast was hit in the head and toppled backward out the door. The boy then said “Cold strike.” The beast screamed in pain then disappeared.

The boy walked outside and saw what was happening. Entrana was being overrun by these black beast, Just like the one he battled. “There is no use saving them,” Said David “you’ll just die.”

“Morbid aren’t we.” said the boy.

“Quick in here!” shouted the monk, ignoring the boy, and opining a hidden hatch, unseen until now. The duo climbed into the hole and the monk closed the hatch. The room was pitch black and was quite small. The hand to crouch. David heard something outside shuffling around. He held his breath, hoping it would go away. It eventually did and David smiled. He knew he was stuck in the hole, but no beasts were in the house. Then he thought of his friends. How were they? Were they dead? Were they being tortured?

“Don’t think like that.” whispered the boy.

“You can read minds?” whispered David back.

“No, but you’re just really predictable.”

"I am?"

"Yes"

"Where are your from boy?"

"Kruzina."

"Is it one of the 7 worlds?"

"(yes/no)"

"Whats your name?" said the monk "I didn't hear it."

"Kivvi TonTon, but my nick name is Kiv."

[OOC] Ok were stuck in here until someone comes and saves us. So um… help. Were going to talk for a wile so you have time. Cable tanks pie.[/OOC]

Karl 67 · **Posted:** April 6th, 2007, 7:46 pm

Egg Launchers on the starboard side turned and fired at a load of runners. The Penance started using them as cannon fodder to take the hits for Fighters and Rangers. The archers on deck fired their shots over the blobs-on-legs. The recognizable screech of Penance Rangers broke out.

Then the Fighters arrived. They were humanoid, but easily 7 feet tall. Their one eye was all they had for seeing, if they had two, they would be hundreds of times stronger, as their claws are capable of tearing plate mail right off the most battle-hardened warrior.

The Rangers, being medium-sized bugs, fired corrosive acid towards the machine. The firepower being thrown at them took the corrosive hits, but didn't falter any shots. The fighters and rangers were flattened after two volleys.

Valence called for the Port Side to get ready. There were five Egg launchers on the right, five on the left, and five at the front. The multicannons took up the dead center, being manned by a dwarven expert.

The machine plodded and blasted all the way to Hemenster until they realized that they went too far.

The Pride of Keldagrim turned and began to plod back until blue disks of energy smashed against the port side.

Everyone turned to see the Penance Queen aided by a literal sea of Queen Spawn. The Barbarian Warriors leaped off port to welcome the oncoming spawn. The Egg launchers switched ammunition to Omega Eggs and the Multi-cannons fired at the swarm, flattening hundreds of queen spawn per shot. The rangers, like the multi-cannons, fired into the swarm.

Valence looked at the map. The Queen was the only real threat there, but the swarm seemed endless. He didn't even have time to zoom out when he found out he was needed with the ground troops. He leaped off and aided the warriors in keeping spawn away from the Pride of Keldagrim

Fifteen egg launchers were loaded at once and they fired at once. The Penance Queen was bombarded by super-charged yellow eggs and lost five of her eight legs in the explosions. The Queen lost balance and ended up flattening another thousand spawn. The Egg launchers were being reloaded quickly and fired a second volley. If they missed the queen, they vaporized a load of spawn. The queen could not survive the second volley. Once the queen vaporized, the spawn disbanded in all directions.

"We gotta get out of here!" Valence barked. He and the warriors leaped back onto the machine. They all cheered victoriously as they managed to kill not only the Queen and a huge number of spawn, but easily twenty waves worth of Penance monsters in less than an hour. The experiment was complete and the Pride of Keldagrim will be receiving its own brethren.

-----Blissaria - Castle Lobby-----

Karl 67 woke up after losing consciousness from the flashback. Everyone was looking over him. Alex 43, in particular.

"What is it?" Alex 43 asked.

"Flashbacks, I probably lost consciousness for this one. Don't worry about me."

Everyone else didn't know what Karl 67 was talking about, but Alex 43 did. The only flashbacks Karl 67 has been having were about the Last Campaign.

The Last Campaign was a terrible war, in which Zaros returned with a second attempt to conquer Runescape. He introduced the Nexuses and the Creatures of the Abyss. Gielinor was attacked with a terrible spell which turned the entire landscape into sand. Everyone, apart from Karl 67 and Alex 43 and many, many others, were covered in sand and were in a form of half-death; they were alive, but not alive at once. Once Zaros eliminated opposition, He would have removed the sand, uncovering Runescape as a new Overlord of the World. Karl 67, Alex 43, eight Void Knights, and many armies following the two 'brothers' managed to defeat Zaros.

There were twenty-one major battles in the entire Last Campaign. Three of them were the worst.

The first was a battle on the cliff side of a huge drop off. The entire landscape itself was re-crafted by the large amounts of sand. Zaros' armies were at the top and Karl 67's crew had to scale it and take it over. If it weren't for the Thunderbirds under Alex 43's employ, none of them would have lived.

The second was when Zaros' army attempted a counter-attack on the same cliff edge. Karl 67's crew were scouting for a new home for the Thunderbirds after this war was over. The birds themselves were facing endangerment and were needed out of the war. Zaros' army were expert mountain climbers, but it was thanks to the Void Knights under Karl 67's command that that battle was won.

The third was the worst. A huge fortress was built at the top of a huge mountain of sand, which was claimed to be the Thunderbird's new home. The Fortress was comprised of three layers of self-regenerating wall, which regenerated every hour on the hour. The Eight Void Knights single-handedly worked eight towers with the most elite of Void Knight Magic. Huge orbs were filled with near-infinite power which fired beams of anti-Abyssal magic. The orb fired hundreds of shots per minute, but even with eight of them, The Abyssal creatures nearly won. Karl 67's crew were alone at the first three parts of the battle. Alex 43's team were a little late with reinforcements on the fourth part and Karl 67 destroyed the twelve surrounding nexuses at once with the most devastating Claws of Guthix spell ever recorded in the history of Runescape. Literally impossible to re-create too.

Karl 67 noted that Alex 43 knew what Karl 67 was thinking about. Will Zaros recreate that warzone? If so, will they need to employ the Thunderbirds again?

MattVortex · **Posted:** April 7th, 2007, 6:01 pm

Thunderbirds, Karl? Maeteru thought to Karl.

Karl looked up at Maeteru.

I would prefer it if you didnt read my thoughts, Maeteru.

They do float around inside that crystal head of yours quote prominently sometimes, Karl.

Oh.

They left it at that.

'Come, we must find this portal.'

Maeteru sighed. 'Oh, why do you always do it the normal way?'

Maeteru seemed to be mumbling something under his breath. Smoke was puring out of his mouth as he did so - a sure sign of free magic. A little yellow ball of energy appeared in front of him.

'Off you go.'

The ball whizzed away, moving incredibly quickly. A couple of minutes passed, and it whizzed back, smaller now. It zipped around in the air in front of them, tracing lines and shapes - clearly a map of the house in three dimensions. After about 20 seconds, it was finished, and just as it did finish it seemed to run out of magic. There in front of them was a two-foot tall replica of the house, made of a wierd magical glow which hung in the air.

The portal was easy to find - on the first floor the orb had traced a little ring, just like the portals used in houses.

They entered the house, leaving the door ajar, but it promptly slammed shut with a gust of wind. The house was quite ornate, or was, anyway. They climbed the stairs as quickly as they could, and reached the room with the portal in.

There it was, still powered up and ready to use.

'Who's first?'

They all seemed to hesitate for a while, but Arasa went first, followed closely by Maeteru and Karl, then Alex and lastly Gia.

What they saw was not good.

'Where are we?'

All around them, the land was dead - black rotting trees and plants, animal carcasses. Above, abyssal birds cawed in their horrible shrill way. The sky was blood-red, and there was smoke pouring out of the ground in various places nearby. Fires were visible in the distance, but no life seemed to exist, other than Abyssal creatures. A small abyssal spider walked by their feet.

Gia knelt on the ground. He took a handful of earth, a branch from a burnt and rotting tree, and a small rock, smelling them, examining them.

'This is Trachk-nae. It was a hugely prosperous and thriving world just two or three hundred years ago.'

'You have been here before?'

'No, but some of the other white dragons have. It seems the whole place has been destroyed by Zaros and his Abyssal minions.'

In the distance, there was a human-shaped figure moving along. The five of them ran over to him. He was of average height and build - much like the normal people of Geilinor. He wore red armour made of some kind of plating and lacquer, and wielded a relatively large sword, stained with the blood of Abyssal creatures.

Alex recognised him at once.

'Gargaros!'

'Alex? It cant be... Alex the fourty-third? Spirit in adamant, messenger of saradomin?'

'Gargaros, the Sixth Keeper of Worlds.'

They embraced, although a little awkwardly because of their armour.

'How is ol' Geilinor doing?'

'Oh, good at the moment. Clearly Trachk-nae is not doing so great.'

'Zaros. Guthix did nothing. He is sleeping. He has been for the last two hundred years.'

'Hmm.' Alex paused, realising his rudeness. 'Sorry, Gargaros, these are my friends. Gia, a white dragon of the second age; Maeteru and Arasa, two powerful elven mages; and Karl, who is made of crystal now, although is actually a Void Knight elf. Everyone, this is Gargaros, the keeper of this world, just like Bob is the keeper of ours.'

Gargaros put his hand into a small pouch by his waist, and took out a piece of paper. It glowed slightly.

'Here. I know you seek to save the world, and I know you have the cover already. I have no use for it anymore. My world is laid to waste. You take it.'

Alex took the page. Karl took out the cover of the tome, and Alex put the page into it. It seemed to stick fast as soon as it touched the cover.

'Now it would be best for you to leave this world. There is nothing more here. Trust me, i've looked. Everything was either destroyed or taken by Zaros and his minions. If you want to get into any of the other worlds, find Bob. He's annoying sometimes but can be persuaded to give up information. Just offer him some salmon, and give him this piece of paper.'

He handed them a small scrap of parchment with a few scribbles on. They were unknown symbols, but there was clearly some magic behind them.

'No mortal can read it. It is impossible, and will send you mad before you can read it, so dont try. It is written in ancient Guthixian. From before the first age.'

Gargaros vanished. Karl put the tome away, and they turned back to the portal, walking back through it.

'We have to find Bob.'

'First, though, we must get back to the Mastery HQ. I can sense something not too far into the future... I just need to enhance my visions in our psychic chamber.' Maeteru said.

They headed back into the woods, towards the strange portal to the realm of Death, and to Geilinor.

Karl 67 · **Posted:** April 8th, 2007, 10:09 am

Karl 67 managed to contain his thought so they couldn't be read as well. He pocketed the Tome, rubbed his amulet, and teleported to the Message System. He would meet up with the others soon. As he suspected, Valence smashed the central Pipe. Shards of crystal were everywhere, some even impaling the wall. He looked around for Valence and then confirmed he was on a mission. Karl 67 fixed the System and made even more deliveries in record time.

"I'll have to get to the psychic chamber now-"

-----Flashback for Karl 67...

-----ThunderBird Mountain - Fortress Main Tower-----

Karl 67 couldn't believe his eyes. Huge battering rams made from Abyssal flesh and metal was attempting to smash in the wall again. Even with two of the eight towers concentrating on it, it just wouldn't die!

The whole fortress rumbled as it took a second attempt to blast the wall to bits.

Karl 67 looked at the orb of magic he was guarding and charging. It ws not even 70% complete. If the wall takes one more hit, then two of the Void Knight Towers would have to empty for safety reasons. That would seriously pummel their defenses.

Karl 67 looked at the leech he stomped on earlier. He kicked it off of the tower in disgust. This battle was hopeless until Alex 43 arrives. He inserted even more runes into the orb, knocking a leaping Walker out of the sky, smashing its skull in quarters. Karl 67's Void Knight mace was stained to the point of permanence. His gloves and boots equally stained. shattered crystal and discharged crystal seeds were everywhere. He didn't think he would have time to collect them all.

The fortress rumbled again. The wall was surprisingly intact. Two more Void Knight towers concentrated fire on the battering ram. Defenses on the south and east sides were next to none, as the towers there were trying to kill the ram.

The ram smashed the wall a fourth time. "How the heck is the wall still up!?" Karl 67 thought.

"Spirit of Pureplade!!!" A voice shattered every other noise. Alex 43 had finally arrived.

The recognizable lightning blade smashed right into the ram, vaporizing it almost instantly, more blasts of lightning crippled, killed, or vaporized even more abyssal creatures. The sword then exploded, sending lightning-infused shrapnel to kill off even more critters.

Alex 43's group of reinforcements charged down the only road in or out of the Fortress. The walls were made of the same material as the fortress, and twice the height. Alex 43 was seen standing on top of one of the walls. He collapsed from the immense power he had used and was carried by two more of his group.

Arrows littered the sky as they hailed down upon the enemy. The added strength tripled fighting ability. The Void Knight Towers went back to normal business since the ram was dead. The actual battle was not over until Karl 67 used the Claws of Guthix to finish everything off.

The orb itself was at 80%. Karl 67 wondered how that severely weakened wall will hold off another wave. The seventeenth wave was seen appearing around all of the nexuses. They all charged. The speedy walkers took the front. Leeches carried by Guardians were behind the walkers, and Abyssal Demons and TWO more rams took the rear.

Karl 67 doubled rune charging. He knew that four Void Knight Towers were not enough to kill one ram and that Alex 43 was fatigued. He had to get this spell ready to destroy every last one of them.

-----end of flashback-----

-----Barbarian Barricade Base (Codenamed B3) - Command Post-----

Valence reported the victory to Commander Connad; who, in turn, reported to Captain Cain. Even from a distance, it was impossible to miss Cain cheer with the others.

"Get us a falcon, We'll need to bring this message to Keldagrim now."

A falcon was quickly brought and the message was made. There will be more of those tanks pretty soon.

Valence watched as the Falcon made its way to Rellekka, so it could pass it on to Brundt the Chieftain. The message would then be sent via Fremmenik runner to Keldagrim.

"What's next, Mastery member?" Cain asked Valence.

Valence rubbed his amulet to establish a communication spell with someone in the Mastery. He came up with Karl 67. His face was plain and yielded an expression of disappointment.

"Karl 67!" Valence stammered.

"I'm presuming that smashing the System was the only way you could get out of there."

"Yes... sir. My apologies."

"You could just ask and I could tell you how to shut it off so I don't have to repair the system AGAIN!"

At 'again', Karl 67 showed complete anger. Valence, though bearing the genes of something stronger and more fearless than an Elf, was shuddering in partial fear.

"However, I forgive you, as that was a pretty good swing you made to break the System." The elf continued.

"I need a mission while I'm here at the B3." Valence finally said.

"I heard. Pretty good thingamajig you got over there. While you're there, ask if it has naval capabilities."

Valence asked, he got a reply of "Unfortunately, no."

"I see," Karl 67 muttered, "I need you to remove Opposition in the Sinclair Mansion area. It may be blocked off by the rivers and that lake, but it'll be a perfect vantage point for our future assault on Seer's Village and Catherby."

"What if we fail?" Valence asked, looking at the machine and wondering if it could make its way around the lake without being overwhelmed.

"You won't. I'm presuming that falcon has a message to make more of those whats-its."

"Yes, that is true."

"Wait for more of them to arrive. I was told by one of the members at the map room about that battle against the Penance. I'm impressed it could annihilate the Queen that easily. However, As I see it not, the Penance have spread across Northern Kandarin. The region, save for two cities, is taken over by Penance. A walled road links those two cities around and is immune to any Penance attack. Those cities are Ardounge and Kandarin. But those cities are crawling with Abyssal troops. Southern Kandarin, however, is like those cities."

"What about the Tyras army in Isafdar?"

"They cleared a quarter of the forest and successfully made them into an incredibly powerful fortress. Don't worry about them yet."

"How about the Naval Blockade around Kandarin?"

"The Shipyard in Karamja is making ships to help the Tyras Army if they get into real trouble. Other than that, the only area they are not blocking is the Piscatoris Fishing Colony. But thanks to Alex 43 and Gia's relations, The Dagganoth are helping hold off. The Sea trolls and Mogres are practically the only things sea-wise that are not even in this war."

"How's the White Wolf Mountain?"

"It's good. The weather is still too much for the Abyssal creatures. However, they are training themselves to be immune to the cold. I suggest you hurry on making those machines, We need to take back Catherby by the next two months."

"Understood." Valence discharged the spell and turned to Cain.

"We'll just have to wait until the reinforcements arrive. We need to hold this position until then. I'll stay with you guys to make sure it goes smoothly."

"I see." Cain replied.

----------------------
--Two hours later at B3--
----------------------
A lookout yells out "Three ship are coming in from the north-west. They have a Mastery standard!"

A small boat is lowered from one of the larger vessels and many soldiers and what appears to be a captain get in and push off heading for shore. In a few minutes they reach The Barbarian Base. The man who looks like a Captain comes forward.

"Mastery Commander Valence? I am Commander Jason, i've brought some reinforcements. I was sent because the captain at HQ said we'd need more troops here. I've brought with me 200 Mastery minors, 150 Keldagrim black guards, 500 Kailenian elven warriors, and 2 more of the machines. All the men know how to kill Penance and Abbyssal. What's our current position and do you have any other orders?"

The soldiers unload and wait for orders
