***No fighting. We had been harrying the Maran after Granaak died trying to retrieve the Scepter with myself and Gnarugk. He began to speak of how he grew weary in this life...***

(PK) Restraal At the Base of a Towering Mountain
(PK) Granaak At the Base of a Towering Mountain


Granaak says 'Speak with Muse now.'


You say 'Truly my mightiest sheep.'


You say 'And most true ally.'


Granaak twitches his head to one side


Restraal brushes off his robes and slowly rises.


Granaak says 'Our time has passed.'


Restraal sighs deeply, and seems to become much older.


You say 'I think you may be right.'


Restraal shrugs his aged shoulders.


The hollows in your flesh collapse, and your skin flows until smooth again.


You say 'We are remnants of days past.'


Granaak nods.


You say 'Both of us, I think.'


Lightning flashes in the sky.


Granaak says 'Have shed much blood, slain armies.'


You say 'My blood begins to run cold as well, not hot as it used to be.'


Granaak says 'Granaak feel this yes.'


You say 'Challenges simply repeat themselves with new faces and new names.'


You say 'I will accompany you to the Muse if you wish.'


You say 'And watch your final consumption.'


Granaak says 'When Muse calls, we will go.'


You say 'I will ensure that gods and men remember the name of the Ravager.'


You grizzle your teeth and look mean.


Granaak twitches his head to one side


Granaak says 'Tombs of enemies, they will remember.'


You say 'As I say.'


You say 'They will all remember.'


Granaak says 'Let us make way. To Furnace.'


You close your eyes and hum for an instant.
Granaak vanishes!

]
An unholy taint radiates from the towering black giant, Muuloc.
A tall woman wreathed in shimmering black flames stands here.


Granaak has arrived.


Restraal nods curtly, obviously agitated.


Granaak twitches his head to one side


Granaak says 'Here, yes.'


Eshval nods.


Muuloc looks at Granaak.


Granaak says 'Granaak is pleased.'


Faint whispers evoke wicked thoughts while dark images caress the mind and soul.


Eshval says 'That is all that is required.'


Eshval opens the iron door.


Muuloc stops using a mask of tormented black flames.


You say 'Wait.'


Muuloc grins evilly.


You say to Granaak 'Wait.'


Restraal steps between the giant and the door, and turns to face you, small frame breathing heavily.


You say 'That is all?'


Muuloc shrugs.


Muuloc says 'If how he wants it.'


Eshval says 'The Furnace is odd...'


Eshval says 'Nothing is ever lost.'


You say 'He has served beyond all else in the Chasm.'


You say 'And I have made him a promise.'


You say 'That the gods and men of these lands will remember his name, and quake with the same fear as his enemies on this earth'


Granaak says 'This fire, will consume Granaak. Granaak is pleased.'


Granaak says to you 'Have slain armies. Not forget.'


You say to Granaak 'You will not pass me until I have the promise from them.'


You say to Granaak 'That your name will be remembered, both within the Chasm and without.'


You close your eyes and concentrate for a moment.
You are surrounded by a white aura.


You close your eyes and hum for an instant.
You are surrounded by a protective shield.


Eshval says 'For a time, memories will remember...all things fade.'


You say to Eshval 'Nothing fades that you do not wish to.'


Muuloc says 'I will remember.'


Eshval says 'I shall add you visage to the Gallery, Granaak.'


Granaak nods.


Eshval says 'Your visage.'


Thinking deeply, Muuloc strokes his beard.


Muuloc says 'Perhaps will do piece.'


You say to Eshval 'I will return when it is done.'


You say to Eshval 'None were a better servant to you or ally to me.'


Muuloc says to Granaak 'Why now?'


Granaak says 'Use blackened ashes of Granaak..rain night on Maran and Village.'


Eshval says 'In time, even the Gallery will fade.'


Eshval nods at Granaak.


Granaak says to Muuloc 'Granaak have slain many, bring much to Furnace. Granaak has gathered what wished. Granaak's blood begins to cool.'


Restraal bows his head.


Muuloc nods.


Eshval says 'Sometimes, it is time to go.'


Eshval says 'Rather than become less.'


You say quietly 'The giant is right. His time is past.'


Granaak says to Muuloc 'Fire once had, when young..time when we shed each of our blood in chasm, has passed.'


You say 'Perhaps both our times, but I yet cling to my life.'


Muuloc grins evilly at Granaak.


Muuloc says 'Now you will fuel Creation.'


Granaak nods.


Granaak says 'I go.'


Granaak looks down for a moment.


Eshval nods at Granaak.


You bow before him.


Throwing back his head, Muuloc cackles with insane glee!


Granaak gives you 4 gold.


Granaak says to you 'As always.'


Granaak leaves down.
You hear someone's death cry.


Restraal bows his head, eyes glittering wetly.


Eshval gives you a steak of the corpse of Granaak.


Grrrrrrrrrr...


You say 'You offered me the butchered body of my friend when you promised he would fuel creation?!'


Eshval says 'I will use the ashes not the corpse.'


Eshval says 'It is the soul that burns.'


Muuloc says to you 'Furnace not mundane thing.'


Eshval says 'Flesh is nothing.'


Restraal growls and then begins to weep.


Muuloc says 'This no time for weepin.'


Restraal snarls 'Safe in your paradise, you forget the pain I force myself through, Furnace.'


Eshval says to Muuloc 'You have some creating to do?'


A burst of black fire appears from nowhere burning Muuloc into nothingness in its passing before fading.


Eshval says 'I shall watch his soul.'


Restraal bows his head.


Eshval says 'He was not mine, but I will do what I can.'


Restraal looks back to you, black eyes devoid of expression.


Restraal bows his head again, staring at nothing.


Eshval says 'Pain will stay.'


***And that's all for now. Good luck, Granaak***


Thanks for posting this, Restraal!
