Meanwhile somewhere unknown the dark form advances on our hero.
Demon- "So mortal, you finally awaken. Good now i can kill you."
Alienbob- "tell me foul beast, why did you not strike me down when i was unconscious?"
Demon- "Because then i wouldnt get to watch you struggle." it grins.
Alienbob- "Then attack me beast! In the name of Lathander I will strike you down! you'll not take me alive!
Demon- "Of course, i wasnt planning on it."
The demon rushes toward our hero with blinding speed. Alienbob barely has time to raise his sword in defense.....

And then...
Alienbob is suddenly teleported out of the catacombs, just as the demon is about to tear him limb from limb. He staggers from teleport-dizziness, and finds himself standing in the Copper Coronet. All stare at this odd spectacle. Magus walks over to greet him.
Magus: Long time no see, friend. I see my dimensional portal contingency was a success. Sorry, but I needed to test it out on someone...and I'm sure you're glad to be away from whatever triggered it. Drakron and I were just leaving. Do you wish to accompany us? (shows Alienbob the letter, then the note from the Shadow Thieves)

Ok, ok, ok... this story is getting waaaaaay off hand...

Reminds me of Dynasty or Dallas or something like that (do you folks remember those or are you too young? For those who do not remember, they where two major soap operas back in the early 80's)

back to our story....


Ubik seems surprised by the way things are going. The flying dagger, those people who appeared, Drak's denial to tell the truth ...and the note by Weasel. Everything seemed to move too fast, but he knew now he could get control.

Ubik: Gruntboy, let us check out, seems our friends are... preoccupied. We have better things to do... there are new allies who are waiting for us. Powerfull allies. And you will be happy to meet the one of them, at least. He is a strong fighter... not so brainless as you, my filthy friend, but as strong as you, I assure you.

Gruntboy doesn't feel very well but he nodds his head and gets up, following Ubik into the dark night

(to be continued... AND NO OTHER subplots, gents, or this is going to become a major flop in the box office)

P.S. Weasel, you are sick. "Oops I farted again???"

Gruntboy stirs from his momentary lapse of concentratiion. Where is he? What is he doing? 'Not another micro-sleep', he thinks to himself. Happens all the time in those darned thieves guild meetings... maybe it was the booze. He looks around desparately for a familiar face to remind him what evil-doings are abound, as it is he cannot be arsed to remember what it is he was supposed to be doing for himself. Image

*Seabass (Lawful Evil Mage lvl 37)*
-Familiar Xagion
*Serevon (Lawful Evil Kensai lvl 30)*

---------------------------------------------


After roughly a days travelling Seabass and Serevon encounter Ubik, lightly exhausted, he greets us with a welcoming grin. With him was another character, his identity could not be distinguished as he wore a cloak that made him near invisible in the night. He too, came forward, and his face started to take shape.... I knew this man, it was Gruntboy, I had seen him before.... He was known in the underworld, a mercenary, an evil one too, but he wasn't about to do anything stupid, he only worked for money,and never killed for "fun" .By the looks of Serevon he too knew Gruntboy... but this was no time for resentment, the only thing I wanted to know right now, was why we had been called.

It seemed as though Ubik has gathered a few allies for this mission, and whatever it was, it haf to be very important... It is not often that you call in old favors from people like Gruntboy... But now we were gathered, in the woods outside Athkatla, what was so important they wouldnt wait for us?

(Ubik) It is good to see you once again Seabass, you too Serevon, it has been awhile to say the least.

(Seabass) Indeed it has... What have you been doing for these past few years?

(Ubik) Oh nothing much, small jobs, requiring my expertice if you know what Im (saying...

(Serevon) Hehe, your services have always come in handy friend.

(Seabass) We have found noone to fill your spot you know, you would be welcome to join us on ventures after this ordeal is dealt with.

(Ubik) We'll see friends, but right now, as you said, we have to get down to business, I have brought a friend along, Gruntboy, I think you've all heard of him. Im expecting more to join us at a later date.

(Seabass) aaah, the famous Gruntboy, somehow you d ont look so dangerous up close. I am sure he will be efficient in providing the party with food if his skills are lacking.

(Ubik) There is no time for this right now, evcen if I might agree. Come with us, we'll show you what it's all about.

And so the four walked deeper into the dark woods, only to fade away into the shadows minutes later.

Magus hardly notices the bartender as he is preparing to leave, but at the mention of Aerie, Magus turns and glowers at the bartender suspiciously. "Why would Quayle be inquiring? As far as he knows, Aerie is back at the Planar Sphere. And if you were a paladin, what's the oath of your order? Explain yourself immediately," Magus demands.

Sidenote: I have to agree with Ubik, Weasel. You're a very sick man. Image

if you haven't noticed yet

Ubik Shadowkiller (perverted Evil (TM) Necromancer, lvl 37 - I would stick to 19, but this is obsene, we have lvl 39, 30/16 etc. ok I will settle with the super high levels, and I shall improvise my own spells too Image )


The time: well into the night
The place: The Athkatla graveyard

Four figures come out of the shadows. One of them, a sturdy figure with broad shoulders and a katana in hand, steps front.


Serevon: So, Ubik my ...friend, why have you brought us here. There is a major thief war going on lately and the graveyard looks like the main theater for it. NOBODY comes close to it at night. Nobody!!! Not even a damned necromancer as yourself.

Ubik smiles - it is more like an evil grinn, but he looks quite fascinating this way. His dark eyes have their usual red glow.

Ubik: A man of action, eagering to put himself with no armor into the heat of battle, and yet feared of the unknown.

Seremon: Not fear! No!!! But this place is dangerous. Very dangerous... I have seen men, some of the best thieves in the guild, being killed with just one blow from those ...creatures that reside here.

Ubik: Those creatures, yes...

Gruntboy: Ubik, he has right. But, anyway, my sword is looking for flesh, so I do not mind if it is living or dead. Let us proceed and destroy 'em all, and...

Ubik: Stop it, Grunty, you will have to do without fight for a little more. Because here we are going to meet with a valuable companion. And a powerfull allie.

He looks up and front, right into the heart of darkness. Seabass shivers - somehow he knows that his companion is not just looking around... he is looking at a certain point.

Ubik: Bodhi, my dear, would you care to join us?

The three comrades of Ubik step back, while a figure comes out of the shadows. A woman with black hair, pale skin and a beauty that's beyond description.

Ubik: Gentlemen... meet... Bodhi! With her help, we will crush our enemies. She and I... and US are walking the same direction for a while..

Ubik and Bodhi look at eachother. An evil smile grows on both faces, just as they hear a wolf - or something worst... - howl in the distance...

(to be continued)


Damn! I couldn't help it! There is another subplot Image Image Image

Seabass surprised at the sight of Bodhi, not sure of her past , nor her present, but disgusted at the mere thought of cooperating with one such as cold as her. He didnt need to know who she was, she radiated a hate that was beyond evil, what had Ubik been thinking when he joined with this monster. Even though Evil, I still had some dignity and self respect, and sought rather to his own downfall than this, this creatures rise. I had to talk to Ubik alone, ask him about his later ventures... But if I know him as well as I do, I bet he has some plan that rose above both bodhi and this petty guild war. But at this time I was having a hard time knowing his true feelings, and who his real allies truly were. I wasnt expecting him to turn on me, nor Serevon, since we had known each other for as long as ´we all can remember.... but you could never be sure about Ubik. Bodhis black eyes inspected the crowd that she just came in contact with, with a dissapointíng look. With a surly voice she uttered.

(Bodhi) Very well, if this is all I have to work with, we're not going to accomplish much, but we can always try.

A foul grin graced her face as the last words exited her mouth, to make everyone sure she was expecting casualties, and that she wasnt going to regret it.

(Bodhi) Well meet here at midnight tomorrow.

Bodhi left the scene, but it didnt look as though she was walking. She just swept away like a shadow, an eerie sight indeed. Xagion suddenly came to life and started growling after her in anger, he calmed down, but he made sure he didnt want with this bodhi to do. After she dissapeared into the night I quickly turned to Ubik.

(Seabass) Ubik, you better have a greater plan than just cooperating with this scum, although I am naturally Evil, she is vile and horrid, and I do not like to be associated with her.

Ubiks face lit up and with a reassuring voice he uttered.

(Ubik) You know me to well, my plan will lead to Bodhis , but not only that, she's hidinbg something, something very valuable. When you see what I mean you'll know it'll all be worth it. Just wait, come, I'll show you.

Ubik but his arms over the shoulder of Serevon and Seabass and said.

(Ubik) This way gentlemen, you'll see, we'll be seen as heroes even though we will be the only once gaining.

(Serevon) I hope your right

(Gruntboy) Ubik knows his stuff.

(Seabass) what was thatg

(FLASHBACK)

The deepest night. Darkness that cannot be pentrated by anything. Whispers and sounds of anger and pain everywhere. And in the middle, two pairs of eyes that glow in the darkness.

"Bodhi my dearest... Bodhi, you wich. Why in the nine hells have you done THIS to yourself???"


"You are asking why? But, this is obvius, my once loyal love. We are after the same thing. Immortality, Ubik. Endless living. And ruling over the weaker. Isn't that what we were dreaming, my once beloved?"

"But... this is not the way... I could turn myself into a lich, to reach the higher levels of power. But I did not. I decided to stay human, even if my power wouldn't be so devastating that way"

"Yes, my sweet soul, your heart deep inside is not made of cold Iron, as I thought it was... Still, it was my decision to make, not yours. Not after you walked away..."

"Let's not remember those days. A moment of weakness and everything torn apart... Oh, Souls of the Demon Lords, if only I could go back to those days and choose a different path..."

"The past is past and today is today. Also, tommorow is another thing. And we have to work towards it. Are you ready to go on that little... hunt of us".

"A practical mind... Still a woman, under that vampirism... Yes, my dear, we have to get going. I am about to meet with Weasel, the fallen Paladin, Gruntboy and Carrot. They are on their way. Weasel is looking for a powerfull artifact, but I think it is not the same we seek. Still, our enemies are the same, so it is a good thought to team up".


"Week mortals! Damn, can't we go on together, the two of us, like the old days?"

"Huh? A romantic vampire??? Funny to hear that from you"

"No romancing intented, my dark soul, just a distaste for the weakness of your future allies".

"They will help. Even you can't do much with a stick in your black heart, my long gone love"


"Yes, indeed..."

Behind closed doors in a luxury estate in the middle of Athkatla.

(Ubik) This is a nice place you keep my friend.

(Seabass) It is suitable for spontane visits to the city, but I prefer sleeping under the stars, I've always been an adventurer, you know this. Now I must now what you're prurpose of dealing with this witch is, I hope it is not because you enjoy her company?. I will tell you this, I am not going along with any of your plans unless you tell me , that this will for sure, end in her harsh death and her vampire followers termination. I cannot stand the likes of the undead, and I am not going to force myself to negotiate with them unless there is great profit to be made, so tell me honestly, have you truly sided with bodhi or are you simply putting on a play for a greater good?

(Ubik) Am I really that predictable? If you must indeed know, NO, I will never side with that monster, you know me better than that. But we need her for now, her participation is vital for our proceedings, you know I wouldnt call her otherwise. She is in dire need of a certain artifact, but this must not come into her hands... she has tried telling me I will stand by her side as she becomes mightier than any god, but I too know that I will be killed ruthlessly like everyone else to walk into her path.

(Seabass) an artifact eh, and what do we need this artifact for? Where are the battles and the prizes, you said there was going to be treasures, and loot beyon dor imagination. Has these all been empty promises?.

(Ubik) No my friend, there is a way we can use this artifact fto our advantage, I have been studying the history of it for years now, and it's magnificent, here , look.

Ubik hands an old dusty paper with ancient writing to Seabass. Seabass becomes very interested in the item in his hand, and tries to find something to confirm its authenticity.

(seabass) Indeed it seems real , but how do we get there?

(ubik) This artifact, it's some sort of key, I know its a part of the puzzle somehow, here, come and see more of my research.

(Seabass) I will do so, so you're giving my word on that Bodhi is simply a pawn in our game of chess? If so I am relieved.

(Ubik) Yes, trust me friend.

Magus's manner eases a bit. "Very well. I will make a visit to Quayle. He deserves to know, after all."
Magus (to Drakron and Alienbob): Are you all ready to depart?
Magus then remembers Marya, and he turns to her. "Will you be coming too?"
