#12441, "Dinkertot's Role Chapter 1"
|
RoleChapter 1 Awakenings Added Tue Oct 17 22:36:32 2006 at level 15:Darkness everywhere. Tangible. A chilly, slimy feeling surrounds her, as she gropes and cautiously steps forward, wading through the thick blackness. Her eyes are wide open, yet useless. Her tongue feels dry, but at the same time feels covered with the murky darkness. A sharp, acrid taste causes her to choke up some bile, whose taste is by comparison a relief. The ground beneath her bare feet is solid, but cold and lifeless. Hollow whispers fill the air, speaking words of doom and death, but their sentences overlap, making any single cohesive sentence impossible to comprehend. Their themes, however, are of a single nature.
A sharp wind blows, and Dinkertot braces her face as the shrieking wind increases in power. When it subsides, she removes her hands from her face and winces as her eyes adjust to daylight. She gazes down from the clouds upon the lands of Thera, her vision somehow sharpened far beyond the clarity of a bird of prey. An endless field of green and brown cover the landscape in the forms of valleys, forests and mountains. The grey, crumbled stone of cities is barely visible beneath the overgrown vines. All but a single city seem to have suffered similar fates. The one which rises above the wilderness is a palace of shining mithril and pearly white marble. Darsylon seems to be at peace, though the usual mix of citizens is absent. Elves alone make up the city, and the few moving specks of adventurers who wander outside the lone surviving city appear to be elves as well. The elves live alone in harmony, but seem lifeless and without purpose. Their faces all reveal a similar look of sorrow and regret.
The light of day begins to grow brighter and brighter, once again causing Dinkertot to shield her eyes. This time she sees a village surrounded by legions of pikes to the ends of which are attached skulls. She sees cities with empty streets. Through the broken windows of homes, she spies people huddled together in fear as roving warriors with blood-red eyes seem to strike to strike out in madness at any living thing that moves. Commerce is gone. Forests are silent, but for the cracking of dead sticks as the barbarians march across the lands in a crazed, fanatical blood-rage.
Over and over, these visions and more appeared to Dinkertot as she slumbered. When she finally awoke in a groggy stupor, her head pounding with pain, she examined her unfamiliar surroundings with curiousity.
She was in a small, straw hut with barely enough room for two gnomes to move about in. Strange fetishes adorned the ceiling and walls, and a small table littered with various alchemical reagents and trinkets stood near the doorway covered with string beads.
Without notice, a gray-haired head popped through the beads and with a shreak of glee was shortly followed by the hunched frame of an old, gnomish hag.
"Ah! Wonderful! Wonderful! You're awake! It's been nearly a week. I thought you might never wake. Ah, but my teas and potions haven't failed my yet, they haven't. Except that one time. Oh, that was awful. Awful! But let's not dwell on the past. Not when you're here, safe and sound, and likely starving half to death. A strong little creature like you can't live on tea and soup forever. You must be famished!"
Her mouth agape with shock, Dinkertot had no time
