Vrakrash climbs down off Drolr and heads for the path.

'Thank you Drolr. I trust should we return from within, you will bring us back to where we entered the Inner World...? Or is this goodbye.'

I dismount

"Tindolin is where I was told I'd find the sword." Iuric looks down the path and then turns to his companions "Shall we?" as he gesture towards the path.

"Oh I'm staying here just outside the valley, to lick up any wounds you've caused in time, looking forward to it.
Taking you back will be the least I can do for such a tasty meal."

Necro

Vrakrash nods.

He gestures to Iuric and the others.

'Lead on then.'

Karinth turns.

"Jeremy isn't it? We haven't been introduced. I am Karinth, nice to have a scholarly user of magic among us. Most of my own is inborn."

Sarric gets up out of the comfy spiralce and jumps of drolrs back to land gently on the ground beside him.

"Thank you for the passage, theres no mistaking it now, kindolin is the name Iuric used.

So, when we notice you getting all excited, thats when we know the **** is about to be flung about the place and we should be careful, or is it already to late by then."

"If you can still see me when you are in the Valley...but yes. I'll be watching here quite eagerly."

Drolr drools slightly.

Fourier

Walking along the path, as it begins to slope into the valley, Iuric sees a group of Clerics, twenty in total, bowing and praying in front of a chalk line in the ground.

Occy salutes Karinth.

"Nice to meet your acquaintance Vampire."

"Similarly Demon of the..." Karinth looks at him closely "...6th circle?"

"You know your stuff..." Occy turns to Jeremy "...I'd be careful here Jeremy, I don't get a good feeling from this place"

<tele- any details young one ?>

“You worry too much Occy.”
I try to keep me cool.

Evade

Iuric approaches the clerics "Greetings, I am Iuric Mercutius, Paladin of Mesharum, the Final Arbiter. I am looking for the legendary sword, Durandal. Have you heard tell of it?"

On closer inspection ten of the Clerics have one symbol on their cloaks, the scales of law, the other ten the eight arrowed symbol of chaos.

One of the law Clerics turns.

"Mesharum...a powerful Outer World god of law!!!" He shouts to the others.

"This place is an abomination fellow worshipper of law, all is undone here, stay with us and beseech your Mesharum, as we do our respective gods of law, to remove it from the world. Please!!!!"

The Chaotic clerics begin to chant that the valley is necessary, a well spring of the new and one of the only escapes from the rules of the world.

One shouts to Iuric.

"The sword lies within the valley indeed!!"

"What laws does it violate?. I am not one to beseech, I am one to intervene. If there is evil in this valley I will deal with it directly."

Iuric looks wide eyed further down the trail

sKeith

"Later then drolr."

Sarric follows after Iuric.

Iuric looks wide eyed further down the trail

The law Clerics see his intense attraction to valley and beseech him.

"Many of them, the laws of basic sense, yes sometimes for Good, but Good and Evil should not concern us. Good it may be, but Chaotic, occurring without rules. Do not cross the threshold of chalk, for then you will be in the valley proper!!! It marks the end of reason!!"

Evade

"Would it not be better to find the source of this chaos and stop it? How long have you been praying for divine intervention?"

The Clerics look at each other. Some are obviously ashamed.

"Twenty years, we come for a week each year, then when our week is up, a new group of ten replaces us...we do not have the bravery to enter..." one says.

"Bravery?!" shouts another "Nay, we lack the madness of loot seekers and adventurers!!"

"Spineless dogs!" Karinth shouts, before hitting one Chaotic and Lawful cleric each.

"You mewl over the status of the valley, yet lack the conviction to experience it. The world is not changed by worms such as yourselves. I will follow you Iuric"

He steps across the chalk and looks around. "The Sun?" he remarks, before he then walks into the vegetation ahead and out of sight.

Evade

"20 years without intervention? Perhaps you are mistaken or perhaps your intervention may well have come. Who could know for sure? Either way..." Iuric steps over the line following Kanrith.

sKeith

Sarric asks the clerics do they have any more chalk.

They look around a bit.

"Yes here is some" one of the chaotic priests offers a stick.

sKeith

Sarric takes the stick of chalk, "thank you, if the chalk has held back the insanity of the valley for 20 years, then it is bound to help me stay sane in there"

Sarric takes a bite of the stick and begins chewing, then proceeds past the chalk line following Karinth and Iuric.
