Hallarn awoke to the sounds of yelling outside of his quarters.
"Ne'er a dull moment here" he thought to himself. "Wonder whats happened now."
He sluggishly arose from his bed having stayed up late the night prior in discussion with Elindar and not getting much rest. He quickly dressed and left his quarters to discover the source of all the commotion. As he walked outside he spied a Tier'dal teen rushing by and grabbed him by the shirt.
"Hold there youth, Where ye headin' in such a hurry. Whats all this hubbub about?"
"Someone has stolen Lady Nikki's body. Everyone says the humans did it." The Tier' dal answered.
"WHAT??" Hallarn demanded, suddenly angered at the prospect of Nikki's grave being disrespected. Hallarn left the youth and headed for Nikki's gravesite determined to get to the bottom of the crime.

As Hallarn arrived there some of the gaurds was being questioned as a few of the humans. The village was blanketed with mistrust now the darkelfs spoke out against the humans and some of the elves, and the elves did much of the same to the other races.
"Throw them out!" Darlena yelled. "And I want a party gathered to search the area.... I don't care what they say it was humans that wanted to take her in the first place."
Darlena wasn't helping the situation and Naldany was the first one to challenge her.
"Do not throw them out." Naldany said.
"What?!" Darlena turned to her.
"You herd me do not throw them out then if they did have something to do with this you would be assisting their escape, but yes the area should be searched the thieves could be no further than bobble or tethelan." Naldany said.
Darlena not thinking clearly went to reach for Naldany but was stopped short by Phelan and Elindar.
"Calm down ....." Elindar said softly attempting to passify Darlena's rage. Darlena jerked away and stormed off.
"Do what you want but I'm looking for my mother's body so she might rest." She said leaving.
"I'll go with her my'lords" Andrea said. "I can keep up with her."
Before they could get moving shouts came from the eastern wall.
"KEYRA IS OUTFRONT AND A LARGE GROUP OF LYCANTHROPES ARE INBOUND!"

"I can't believe this why right now of all times." Darlena muttered.
Panic started to take hold as everyone hurried to make themselves ready as the gaurds stalled Keyra and the few accompaning her.
"Hmmm.... something is going on in there isn't it? I can smell humans and they smell delicious." Keyra giggled having said that as she stood at the gate.
"Mistress Kyriko will be here any moment why don't you open the door for us, would rather this be without any scuffles."

Hallarn muttered to himself as he followed Elindar to the gate.
"Nikki's grave is robbed and Keyra shows up at our doorstep? Thats some coincidence eh?"
"We don't know anything yet Hallarn." Elindar replied. "Lets just see what she wants first before you start swinging your hammer".
"Dinnnae worry Elindar, I kin keep me cool but ye know what she wants and it's nae good".

"Haven't you done enough to those humans? They claimed yo attacked them and drove them to us." One of the gaurds said.
Keyra gave them a completely puzzled look and laughed.
"What are you talking about I haven't attacked or killed anything in the past month and a half.... And besides I haven't seen humans that smelled like the ones I smell in there before." Keyra said.
Elindar herd her comments and the expression on her face didn't seem like she was lying. This started to raise more questions for him as he continued to watch her.
"I see something is very wrong here now.... your hiding something aside from the humans. I'm not here to fight just an advance party for the mistress." Keyra began looking over the gaurds shoulder and past Elindar.
"Drop yer act wench....." Hallarn spoke. " Ye know more that what ye speak."
Keyra's eyes then settled on Hallarn. "I do ... do I? I have now clue really whats going on here but I'd like to see those that accuse me.... I'm never shy about my deeds and I'd know if I bothered ridding the world of a few humans."
Hallarn reached up and took Keyra by the arm and marched her inside to the gypsies. Keyra looked at them and they was slow to react to their attacker. Keyra shook her head and smiled at the dwarf.
"Nope ...... never came across this bunch in my life, they are lying to you.... I would not have left survivors much less ones that would grow up to hunt me and take revenge."
Keyra frowned for a moment and placed her hand on Hallarn's shoulder. "Why do I not smell Lady Nikkii anymore..."
But before he could answer she vanished from sight.
"How could you bring that monster before us she killed our men and she is here to finish the job slay her dwarf of brell." One of the women demanded, they now appeared worrying but not scared.
Darlena was one the outskirts of the village area trying to pick up a trace of the robbers when Andrea finally discovered some tracks leading south. Darlena checked them out and picked up a human and dark elf scent.
"It makes sense now.... they are necromancers and felt they was far enough from the village to stop covering their tracks but they have a good days lead on us." Darlena scooped up the dirt and looked back at Andrea. "I need you to inform Phelan and Elindar that it was both human and dark elf that did this.... and those others are probably some kind of decoy for something."

"That is nae your bussiness Keyra." Hallarn spoke.
"What do you mean she raised me just as if she was my birth mother...." Keyra was interrupted when one of the women caught their eyes as she leaped out from the group holding a fist type of weapon and wearing an odd outfit.
Her attack barely missed hitting Keyra but pursued her with several kicks that toppled the elf for the moment. Now more the them has also tossed aside the gypsie robes they wore and attacked the few gaurds surrounding them.
"Monks...." Hallarn said to himself as he readied himself.
Keyra giggled as she wiped the blood from her mouth. "That explains your smell your from Qeynos.

"Time fer ye to stop yer lyin' and start givin' some answers" Hallarn said to no monk in particular as he struck down the nearest monk with a lightning quick strike from his hammer.
"Since when did you move that fast?" Keyra asked Hallarn as she raked a Monk with her claws, severing arteries and flesh.
Hallarn and Keyra moved back to back defending against a flurry of attack from the Monks. Many of the town guards stood nearby unsure of which side to help. As Keyra dispatched one Monk a second one moved in on her blind side bringing her staff down on Keyra's head. At the last moment before impact the monk was struck in the small of the back by hallarn's hammer, folding her in half.
"How dare you!!" Keyra protested. " I don't need any help from the likes of you." Keyra emphasized this point by grabbing a Monk by the head and snapping her neck.
"Your welcome" Hallarn said as a blow from his hammer sent another Monk flying through the air, her lifeless body landing in Nikki's empty grave.
Keyra and Hallarn continued to hold their own against the onslought of the Monks until one managed to sneak up on Hallarn and drive her clawed weapon completely through his body. Hallarn retalited with a backhanded swing from his hammer crushing the Monks skull. She fell dead to the ground leaving her weapon impaled in Hallarn's back. Hallarn struggled to reach the weapon, unable to grasp it with his small arms. Keyra was both amused by the Dwarf's struggles and amazed that he was still standing.
"How are you still standing?" Keyra asked. " You should be dead".
" Never ye mind that, just pull it out" Hallarn answered angrily.
Keyra grab the claw and pulled it out with a quick jerk. Hallarn's wounds seemed to heal almost instantly.
"How did you get so powerful?" Keyra asked as she tossed the weapon to the side.
" Ye look surprised Keyra. Haven't ye seen yer mothers power at work before?".

"She was far too gracefull to allow a foe to inflict such a wound on her... I've only seen it used on others but I didn't know you was a paladin............ your ugly for one." Keyra tossed the weapon aside and drew out her swords. "I hope your not going to faint on me little man."
The gaurd finally decided to assist them in stopping the monks as the captains was on their way. Darlena continued to follow Nikki's scent southward until she met with an ambush of her own.
"That's as far as you go. You will not interfere with our plans." One said.
They stond six in all robed men that wore the plaugebringer's medallion and carried glowing green staves.
"So servants of Bertoxxuous..... Get out of my way." Darlena growled.

They simply smirked at her comment and circled around her. They began to chant spells to attack Darlena but she lashed out at one interupting him. A few bolts of acid flew past her and hit the ground around her thinking quickly she grabbed the man and used him as a shield allowing him to take the spells casted at her. After the spells hit him his flesh dissolved off his body leaving a heep of smoldering body parts.
"So no quarter given for your own comrade?" Darlena said stepping away from the remains.
"He knew that we are lay down our lives at a moments notice." one of them replied."You have no where to dodge this time..... prepare to go into the afterlife."
Right as he finished two arrows struck one of the remaining plaguebringers then two more int the other leaving one.
"Sorry I just couldn't leave you like that." Andrea said stepping out into the open.
Darlena smiled and then turned back to the last plaugebringer. Taking out her sword she attacked him severing his arm holding the staff letting him fall to the ground.
"Now tell me why did you steal my mother's corpse?" She asked stepping on the mans shoulder.
He smiled and coughed before replying. "Ask the Mistmoores.....He payed our temple very well...... So my guess is that your kind is going to enjoy a long hard ......... years of service to them."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Andrea said.
The man smiled as his life slipped away leaving the two women standing there. Darlena burned with rage wanting to continue chasing the thieves but with the chaos left in the village.
The fighting was at it's end in the village most of the monks was dead and a few crippled. Hallarn had a seat next to a few of the crippled as Phelan and Elindar questioned those that was able.
"Are you badly injured?" Naldany crept up behind Hallarn asking in a soft tone. "You should go to see our healers to make sure you are fine."
"Oh he's fine .... I gave him more of a beating than that." Keyra giggled. "The mistress should be hear any moment and she will want those gypsie's for herself."

"Why don't you question them like you use to do to me? Lost your touch?" Keyra said mocking him.
Phelan herd enough from Kerya an in a few steps quickly pushed Keyra face first on the wall.
"I have tolerated you last time but you have worn your welcome well out.... get out of the village now." Phelan said pushing a little harder.
"Oh I'm not leaving and your not going to hurt me..... if you know whats good for you." Keyra smirked.
"MY'LORDS!!!!" a tower gaurd called out.
"More have emerged from the kithicor forest..... atleast a hundred."
Keyra started laughing an shoved back off the wall breaking free of Phelan's grip."The mistress is here I'm sure you all will accomidate her needs as she wishes."

After a few moments several ogres marched passed the village gate gaurds each giving each other a fowl look. Shortly after them came the shamen of the lycanthropes she looked no more than a mere small woman but they knew otherwise.
Keyra smiled at Phelan when they came into view.
"Now you better treat me better..... brother." She giggled.
This was happening all over again Keyra....... Keyra always brings destuction where ever she goes. Anger swelled in Phelan an he thoughts was growning fuzzy as the beast within was gaining controll of him.
"Calm yourself pup." Kyriko spoke when she saw him.
The other villagers was uneasy with so many lycans walking amongst them. Whisphering about their doubts in leadership and confidence was starting to grow.
The shaman looked at the monks that was still alive in custody.
"This is desert filth..... Phelan... Why did you not detect them an even now why do they draw breath." She said without looking back to them.
But before he could even reply. "Kill them." Kyriko ordered.
Her bodygaurds rushed the captives prying them from the grips of the gaurd an slayed each one without a second thought not even the children was spared.
Naldany was horrified by this and started to approach the shamen and before she got within reaching distance started to reach for her an pull her. Phelan quickly reacting dashed between them and knocked the ogre to the ground.
"You don't lay a finger on her." he roared.
Kyriko smiled. "I see why the harlot chose you to protect her offspring now... And I need that aggresiveness for what I have planned for the hunters."
Hallarn held his tounge and observed the woman who seemed to be more evil than Nikkii was.
