- >>Turning to the Dwarf, Briggs said "I'd like you to meet Cranach Wynn, he's not
- >>your typically rouge. If you give him a chance I'm sure you'll grow to like
- >>him". Turning back to Cranach "And this is... Oh dear, I didn't get your
- >>name." Mr. Briggs turned to the Dwarf expecting some kind of response.
-
- Before the dwarf could answer, the strange looking elf that Mr. Briggs had
- paid dinner for, came into the back storage room where the meeting was being
- held. "Its about time to quite eating. I've never seen an elf that could
- eat more than me."
-
- > "Look, I'm sorry it took me so long to compose my thoughts, but this is a
- >little distracting. I thought I had completely escaped the "family " squabbles
- >that control my land, but I seem to have landed in another." Dahvyn sips the
- >beer he bought with the last of his own coins.
-
- Mr. Briggs and the others listened politely, but the discussion of family
- matters was far from their minds.
-
- > " I think there are beings from my own land here. It is a long story on
- >how I would be mixed up with them, but they are called the Dark Wind and they
- >are Dragon. For the same reason that I know them, I believe only two of the
- >Dragon are here. Their names are Sahnsyn (Red Son) and Sythyka (Black Death).
- >The others, there are 7 dragon in the clan, are hunting me on the other side
- >of the portal I used to get here, but, I assure you, both of those remaining
- >are deadly foe. "
-
- Mr. Briggs was getting a worried look on his face the more the elf talked
- about his family having a feud with a Dragon clan of some sort. Usually it
- was Dwarves and Dragons that had problems, since both of them like dark
- caves in big mountains. But then again the man speaking was the strangest
- looking elf he had ever seen.
-
- > "Sahnsyn is a 1/2 red 1/2 black dragon. He is an idiot but an incredible
- >fighter. Sythyka is far more dangerous, she never fights but she is the
- >second greatest wizard among the Black Dragons, the only greater wizard is her
- >mother Wythyka(Black Wind) who rules the clan and holds great power in my
- >land."
- > Dahvyn looks around uneasily a thoughtful expression on his face. "This
- >is probably Sythyka's work. Otherwise why is the map appearing now after so
- >many years. No, it is a trap for me. If I do not go to her I can never
- >return home. I would not suggest any one else be so foolish as to face her
- >for treasure. I simply have very little left to lose. " Dahvyn smiles
- > "Well, perhaps I have some unfinished business with the woman who made me
- >kill my brother. Yes, I think it is time we had a talk. I haven't sat down
- >with her in one hundred years and its a long time to let such things lie."
-
- "I don't like that fact that you are embroiled in the dealings of these
- dragons. But then again, perhaps we can use your knowledge against them."
-
- Mr. Briggs started to smile a beaming grin, that made everyone else in the
- room just a little bit happier. "Come on in and have a seat, we were just
- getting through introductions. My name in Barnabus Bristlemyer Briggs, most
- call me Mr. Briggs or just Briggs. Just try to say it right would you please".
- He looked at Cranach and the dwarf as he said that. "This here is Cranach,
- a unique individual, I'm sure you'll grow to like him in time." The dwarf
- was busy thumbing through his manuals so Briggs skipped over him for now.
-
- "I am known as Dahvyn Gray", the elf said.
-
- Mr Briggs smiled again and said "Let's get down to business then. Cranach,
- pull up a chair, I'm gonna want to know everything you have to say about
- the Troll mountains." Mr. Briggs unfolded the map again that he hadn't
- quite gotten out of view when Cranach came barging in. The dwarf was
- still buried in his books.
-
- "Mind if I call you Gray?" he said to the elf. "You look like an educated
- elf, why don't you tell me what these elven runes say? We can discuss
- rewards and payment after we get organized a bit"
