Author: Torlith Date Fri Jun 10 22:11:03 2005 Stamp 1118459463 Subject Unholiness A nice breezy day in Solace. I wandered through the forest gazing at the trees. Even though I am a Dark Cleric, I do not discriminate between who and what i destroy. Uttering a word, i began to levitate. I glided higher and higher until i reached the Green rooftops... Knowing this area was filled with bees, A single word formed on my tongue and i was surrounded by a white aura. I was right. Bees Swarmed in from all directions. Not hesistating one moment, A string of words spouted from my mouth. An Invisible Barrier barrier encased me in a shell of power. The First wave of bees smash into the shield with a ferocity that made me add more power to the shield. The Bees started slacking their attack, and i started floating downward with the bees continuously smashing themselves into a bloody mess. Once on the floor of the forest i started walking again...only to Fall in to a pit of Endless Darkness. Not fearing danger from falling due to my earlier spell, i casted another spell. an Orb of white formed and drifted downward. it smashed on the bottom of a pit with a drop of 25 feet. Discovering a tunnel, i walked through it. A surpirse was awaiting for me. A drow popped out of the Shadow and attacked me. Casting A battle spell, Flaming Missles darted towards my enemy as i raised my fist. Seared by flame and blinded, i saw my chance. Smashing my Mace against his face, there was a Flash as power helded inside the mace was let loose. Sighing as i moved the body, i was ashamed of the Drow. If he had not attacked me, his death could have been prevented. shaking my head as i thought of the riddle: ...Darkness will turn upon itself... I hold no grudges from killing him. I killed him in self defense. "I don't want to harm you...i just want to leave in peace." They just spat near me and ignored everything i said. That Angered me. I dispise unreasonable people and beings. Reaching deep inside me, i summoned A Blazing Demon That engulfed the Drows. Every last one of them. Sick of what i had done, i gated myself back to my dwelling and started meditating. Torlith The man of confused alignment. Author: Torlith Date Sat Jul 9 23:43:08 2005 Stamp 1120970588 Subject a long walk. Moving silently with the shadows, I quietly left palanthas. Frosty wing nipping my face, I head towards the south east. The night air was cooler than usual, so i casted a few spells. With just a though of my mind, a bright Blue Orb forms floating above the palm of my hand. I hurled the Orb upwards, and it casted its soft blue glow around the area. Sighing as I looked around, i spotted a few goblins. Startled by the light, the grotesque green forms waddled towards me with their weapons drawn. Not wanting to kill the creatures, and not wanting to become mince meat, I raised my hand, and closed my fist. The Orb above completely Exploded and showered the area. By the time the dazed goblins realized what happened, i was long gone. Resting at a babbling Brook, i rested myself preparing for the trip to Klaman... Author: Torlith Date Sun Jun 18 00:37:52 2006 Subject History of Torlith The Dark Torlith...The Dark wanderer. Many have heard of this name. I started out in a small village to the east of thelgaard. It is gone now... I once lived with my parents, but they are gone now. My parents soon heard of the invasion by dark mercenary forces. They were rumored to arrive within one year. We left without haste. I was only 12 then. So i grabbed my meager possesions. a few coins, a quarterstaff, and my carved ebony dragon. We quickly headed to the northwest. To a town known as solanthus. 'It will be safe there...There we will start new lives., she said. We lived in solanthus for 3 years. Every single day, The Solanthus Guard would ransack our shanty for whatever coppers they can find. My hatred for them grew. They greedy Guards armed with swords. My first Diety Mishakal wouldnt help. I prayed. Noone would help. except Her... She filled me with knowledge beyond my age. So i waited. Two months went by before the guards decided we had something more than coppers. My parents gave me the whole top floor to myself. Of course, a room 8 by 5 feet isnt exactly freedom. My parents didn't know, that the night they let me have the attic, we would be attacked. They came at night. When the red moon of Lunitari was waxing, 6 armed thugs kicked down our door. Each wore a cloak of the solanthus guard and carried a monstrous longsword with gold plate. I quickly grabbed my hand carved bone mace from under the matress i call bed. and tried to get downstairs (through a hole *my door*) My latch is stuck... i hear screams from below. beads of sweat drip down my face. Shouts of anger and suprise. My father's voice is one shouting. Using my mace, i smashed the trapdoor open and tumble down. my mother was on the ground...still... My father just bashes one down and grabs his sword. He impales another. 'Father! Look out !' he turned to me at my call. jast as our eyes made contact, a dagger flew from the man on the ground. It hit its mark dead in the center... Crying out in rage, I summon energy from deep within. I sprinted forward in a burst of speed, and smash my mace into the first thugs face. The other 5 grinned and drew daggers or swords. My Mace suddenly Blazes alive with fire and i hurl it towards them. It explodes near them, sending shrapnel into four of them, and injuring the last. The last quivered in fear in the corner. A vision appears to me. A dark dragon appears and teaches me how to cause pain and suffering. I throw a torch into the roof and depart. -***-***-***-***-***-***-***-***-***- I joined the Holy Oder in a hope to bring back the Dark side to Balance Light. I do this to serve my queen. A faction devoted to her alignment shouldn't be destroyed. I have been in Holy order ever since, trying to bring others to my Queen. But my queen wishes me to do something more producive. To be in the Front Lines representing her in the war on Kalaman. -Torlith, The Dark Wandered
