Author: Grishnakh Date Wed Oct 26 11:44:20 2005 Subject Unto the Darkness Stalking carefully amongst the ruins of a small dwarven town Grishnakh looked for any signs of life that he might be able to put out. These midgets were an odd kind, living outside of Thorbardin. His patrol swept right through them on their way back to meet up with Grumblock. A scout had been sent ahead to inform Grumblock of the great news of the attack on the High King Loror. But for now his patrol was camped just outside this village with goblins and hobgoblins wandering around looting what they could find. As he walked across a destroyed hut he felt something squish under his boot and a small moan escape. With a malicious grin Grishnakh stomped harder and heard an even louder moan. Pulling back the straw roof covering, Grishnakh found nothing. Confused, he looked up, down, left, right, northwest, southeast, behind, below, and in back of himself and could not find the source of the moaning. Letting down the straw roof covering, Grishnakh turned around to find a dwarven warrior covered in boils. With a shriek Grishnakh backed away from the diseased being as he struggled to draw his sword. The dwarven warrior raised a pus covered hand and said, "Halt. " Refusing to obey the warrior, Grishnakh finally withdrew his sword only to see his own hand covered in boils. He turned to the dwarf only to find him gone, and a figure cloaked and hooded in black staring at him with burning red eyes. Suddenly, boils and warts began to surface and break all over his body. He screamed and clawed at himself but it did nothing to ease the pain. And suddenly as the figure spoke, the boils and warts stopped. "You know now who I am, and what it means to disobey me. Kneel and offer yourself to me or suffer evermore. " The boils still fresh in his mind, Grishnakh knelt at the feet of the figure whom he now knew to be the Black Wind. The figure nodded and Grishnakh felt something icy cold brush against his forehead. When he looked up, the figure was gone. Not knowing what the cold was, Grishnakh sat there recovering from the onslaught. His boils and warts were gone without leaving any scarring or marks. But now he had a new mark, one he did not know about.
