The Adventures of Indie the Bard

Post by Nathan Scorne »

**Please refrain from replying on this topic. This is meant for story purposes only. Thank you*

These are the journals of an educated ten year old human that was accidentally left behind during the exodus from Blackstone Keep.

Part 1. The Tyranoid Swamp.
Narrator/Indie: White text
Sir Edmund Dante, Blackstone Knight: Light Blue ext
Orphans: Dark Green text

*In the dark barn shines a dim candle. The rain falls on the leaking roof but no one seems to notice as their attention is drawn to the slightly larger figure sitting in the middle of them all, cradleing a baby in his arms.*

And the knight said to me "Come along brave one, we could use your help"
*The children smile and clap*
So I brought with me my magic trumpet, some protection from acid and my Elite Archers belt. I then ran leading the charge into the darkest and murkiest swamp you ever saw.
The knight and I protected the women that came with us into the cave full of *with a roar* GIANT LIZARDMEN! (Tyranoids)
*The children are all captivated, some even shiver at the tall tale*
We battled for what seemed days in the cave, hiding and dodging, shooting bow and sling. I saved their life more than once even without the armor the knight has.

Child 3: You saved the knight?
Well no, not him, he is so powerful the lizard giant men would run from him. I was saving the women fighters. So we took the necklace from Kyron and then fled the cave unhurt! So the knight gave me this for saving their lives. *He shows them the Bronze Forge Stone* *"Is it magical?" Asks one of the children.* Yes, but I don't know what it does yet. *Shaking the stone in his hand*

*One of the smaller ones asks as they are all getting into their straw beds. "Why was that naked man trying to hurt us?"*
His name is Arihant, he is in the resistance. I don't know yet but I'll find out, Good night everyone.

Part 2. Arihant and the resistance.

Vayne was put in prison for his crimes and in the vacuum emerged a more powerful leader. Enter the Arihant.

Arihant is a half naked crazed savage with great magical powers and a thist for baby blood. He also commands a giant black raven that steals babies.
His sidekick, Cervantes teleports from from shadow to shadow bringing fear and terror to all around him.

It all started with Arihants bird chasing me through the keep. When I got to the Hamlet, Noigan, a dwarf I never met before saved me and we killed the black raven. Arihant was enraged. We used to watch the robberies take place at the gates in the Hamlet. The resistance was taking all passerby's gold. 20 gp. When the knights were around, they would find peaceful ways to have the robbers leave but then later that week, they would return. The knight are no longer here so a fight broke out, many died and Arihant was raging with incredible powers, glowing eyes and all manner of glowing shields of force and magic.

He was about to burn the barn whena heroe emerged, Dante, The Demiliches Cultmaster himself. He is 7 feet tall with brighter glowing eyes of flame and powers beyond belief.

I was trying to give Arihant a forge stone if he left the barn alone when the Cultmaster old him to leave us be and told me to take my forge stone and go and that he would handle Arihant. We hid in the barn and heard great spells and magic and then.... silent. We dared not look out after that.

the next day....

I left Baby Joey and Baby Johnny with a kind woman, Keira Amaliaan. She held Baby Johnny while Baby Joey was sleeping peacefully on the grass under the tree.
I was trying to get an audience together so as to make some gold for supper when suddenly Arihant snatched up Baby Joey and ran around the tree holding him by one leg. I chased him as long as I could but could not catch him until finally he gave Baby Joey back..... But Baby Joey was no longer breathing.... He had passed.

The temple healers said he was too small to raise from the dead.

Afterwards, I went to face Arihant and the Swordmistress Raven wanted to put me in jail or kill me for what Arihant did, calling me negligent for leaving the babies under the tree with Keira. She did not care to listen to me just blame me for his death so I left to the crypt escorted by Erok the babyeater. The only person in Blackstone that would help me at that time besides Keira. Erok waited outside as we put him to rest in the crypt.

Erok then escorted us to our new home, the barn at Skara Brae that Edmund Dante, The last of the great knights, pays the rent for.

p.s. If you were part of any event and wish to be mentioned, please send me a PM and any information you want me to include. There are many participants but I cannot recall all the names or the actions they took in the storyline.

Thank you.

Tonight I leave this monestary forever. The other orphans have a better home and Sire has Jadie.

I overheard Sire talking to some representatives of the Starkson Protectorate and I think they won't accept him because he has an orphan of questionable bloodline as a squire. Jadie and her friends were so happy but Sire was sad. I cannot allow this to happen so tonight, I leave forever. Where will I go? What will I do? I don't know the answers to these questions but I do know this.

I won't get in the way of my heroes dreams.

**Arrives by portal to Skara Brae, walks to the temple and sneaks in. Leave a weathered journal and an IOU on the nightstand in the room where some of his friends sleep**

The only evidence found in the morning are tiny bloodied footprints throughout the dormitories, study supply closets, hallways and the kitchen. :lol: The trail ends at the runegate where the highly educated child left a print on every rune to disencourage would be persuers.

// FYI, Not returning to BSK. Just doing what I promised a friend so don't get them in a bunch.

*Edmund Dantes returns to his room giving a concerned look to the bloody footprints along the way and slowly makes his way to the journel and begins to read it*
