It was the dead of night when the howl came out over the stony landscape surrounding them. Trolls. Gwendolyn and Millicent each looked at each other, nodding before they began packing up camp and kicking out the smouldering fire they had slept beside. They had been tracking this particular pack for the majority of the last two days, having followed monstrous footprints to this particular valley. She reviewed their estimates in her head as she slid on her ebony helm and strapped on her chestplate. There was definitely more than two of them, adolscents by the size of their tracks. They seemed to frequent this ravine quite a bit, so it was presumed there was a den nearby. The trolls would presumably be wielding blunt weaponry of some kind, based on freshly smashed rocks and trees found along the path leading here. No matter what, it would be a tussle of some difficulty for the two of them. Gwendolyn was a formidable spellblade, but taking on three at the same time would be tricky. Not to mention Millicent was more of a ranged fighter than anything. She had hoped one of the guilds would send additional resources based on her report given via letter yesterday, but it would seem that her hopes would be in vain. Quest Name: Initial Contact Participants: Exactly two (you and one other, the other does not need to be interested in the guild) Location: Indicated by Hunt Dossier Post Requirements: 6 post per person, 200 words per post Reward: Quest Completion Description: With all your knowledge attained and preparations made it is time for you to start clearing the hunting grounds of the superfluous and smaller versions of the creature the Winged Expeditionary Force is about to take on. You need to combat and kill 3 smaller Nightcaller trolls, indicated by the Hunt Dossier, then study their corpse. By butchering the body you must study their organs and physical composition, this will help when preparing to face the major threat. Learn what you can from fighting these creatures, as everything you learn here will go a long way in keeping everyone alive during the final hunt. NPCs: Millicent Donwen, Sky Domain Apprentice

Javal and Nadia were walking across Giant’s Avenue after they had decided to take on a mission at Arid Mesa after they finished Javal wanted to go camping for the night and sleep under the stars. Although Nadia initially protested heavily due to her noble upbringing he relented after seeing how excited her liege was about it.
They had just finished setting up camp when suddenly both of them were put on high alert as they heard a loud howl. Nadia quickly packed up and Javal readied himself for battle and both sprinted towards the noise.
They stopped as Javal placed his hand out as he heard the sounds of another party he held his breath and ran towards the nearby sound of someone passing by before jumping out in front of them.
He was surprised to see his dear friend Lady Gwendolyn in front of him. He quickly put away his katana and held out his hand for a handshake, “Why hello there Lady Gwendolyn didn’t expect you here, how have you been my friend? Oh and who’s this where Mori is that she changed her hair? Oh and do either of you happen to make loud howling by chance? If not, do either of you know what that was?”.
Nadia then came running from behind Javal and was worried that her liege had found some sort of beast but calmed down as she saw Gwendolyn there.

Gwendolyn commanded her fuming maul to attack the troll that had jumped in front of them, stopping short only moments before contact once she realized it was Javal. She swore, this man always popped up in the most unexpected places. She called back the hammer, meeting the fell-blood mercenaries hand for a firm shake. “Javal, good to see you. And you as well Nadia” She says quietly as the woman runs out of the brush behind him. “I’ve been well. this is Millicent, head of the manor maids.” Millicent offers a polite bow to the man and his accomplice, before Gwen continues with the rest of the information. “We’ve been tracking a small group of night-trolls for a few days, the howl was probably one of them. They have a den up ahead in the ravine before us. If we’re lucky, we might be able to catch them by surprise.” “Thanks for showing up” Millicent said casually “We’d have probably been troll food without reinforcements.”
The glowing crimson eyes of gwendolyn’s helmet turned to meet Millicents, almost chastising her for doubting her master, before shrugging her shoulders. “Yeah, I guess a pack of trolls in the dead of night would be a bit too much for us to handle. This path leads down into the ravine, where we believe the den is. I’m sending Milli up top, if we can light up a troll she can help with some lightning. Unfortunately, she can’t see in the dark.”
The words were barely out of her mouth before Millicent had climbed the small embankment and begun following the top of the ravine. “I’ll be going through the bottom, can’t do much at range.”

Javal quickly bows toward Millicent as Gwendolyn introduces her and he stands back up and says, “Night-trolls huh? That’s good, at least you’ve found them. We would be delighted to help you guys out. How many of them are there? What is a night-troll? Is it like a regular troll? I haven’t fought a troll, I just knew them from other adventurer’s stories. I’m sure we can take them on four against however many of them there should be more than enough”.
“I’ve never fought a troll before myself, so that’ll be an exciting first”, he says, punching his fists together”.
Nadia sighs and says, “It’s good to see you again Lady Gwendolyn. Do you have any other information on these night trolls? I want to know at least what we’re getting into. Unlike my liege, I’d rather go into a mission with some background information instead of throwing myself into action".
After speaking for a minute or so Nadia sprints alongside Millicent to accompany her and provide assistance.
Javal sighs, “I’d like to provide frontal support as well but it seems those two are already ahead of us. Let’s not keep them waiting”, he says as he increases his pace to catch up to the others.

Gwen nods at Javals suggestion to get moving, and starts into the ravine. Several piles of bone and refuse littered the canyon floor, indicative of a monster den nearby. Trails of dragmarks, as well as dark marks that looked to be dried blood led further down the ravine. Gwendolyn slowly advanced, weapons floating closely behind her, before pausing. Another howl pierced through the night, this one dangerously close. /It came from behind her/. She turned quickly only to be met with the blinding impact of a monstrous fist from the darkness. The strength lifted her off her feet and caused her to crash into the stone wall opposite the direction. It was hard to breathe, her breastplate had crumpled to absorb the blow. Desperately she gasped, reaching for the straps located on her side before being able to undo one of them, the armour clanking to the ground. She willed the light on her maul to activate, sending a pale blue light through the ravine, and illuminating the enemies that had ambushed them. Three nightcaller trolls, each bristling with energy and eagerly anticipating the fight. Barely a second passed since the light came on, and a shot of lightning erupted down from above. Millicent stood with Nadia, her finger pointed at the troll that had hit her master, smoke still billowing from it’s tip. The troll howled in pain, recoiling at the blast, before regaining it’s footing, and snarling at the scowling maiden above.

Javal moves into the ravine excitedly scanning the floor for clues about where the trolls were.
So far all he could see was dried blood, bones, and footprints, all a tell-tale sign of monsters.
He took out his katana, placed its sheath into his pocket, and followed behind Gwendolyn keeping a close eye ahead of them in case the trolls were to rush them with brute force.
His eyes darted across the room as he heard a loud howl once more, that had to be those nightcaller trolls Gwendolyn mentioned.
Javal’s shocked as he suddenly turns to see Gwendolyn fly through the air and crash into a wall.
He turns around to look at the group of trolls sneering at the two adventuring and looking at them like some sort of meat.
Nadia stood alongside Millicent drawing her back and aiming at one of the trolls nearest to her liege firing off a shot that was aimed at its eye.
Javal’s blood started pumping as a large grin grew, “Man these guys look tough”, before opening his mouth and sending out a large cone of fire (1) at one near him.
The troll holds his hands to block the brunt of the blast only to find itself getting slashed painfully in the abdomen by Javal.

Gwendolyn blinked, looking up at the fireball that lit up the night. She caught her breath, and stood back up, using her maul as leverage. She must have hit her head, her ears rang at it felt as though she had been asleep for months, though it looked as though only a few seconds had passed.
“Shit… Think she’s alright?” Millicent muttered to Nadia, before quickly drawing her aim towards a troll lumbering towards her disoriented master. It was hard to get a full count of their enemies from up here, what with Gwendolyns light source being her primary weapon as well.
The noblewoman gathered her wits about her, and threw herself back into the fray. Her attention was drawn towards a troll still reeling from the effects of lightning searing it’s flesh, smoke wafting from it’s fresh wound that even now, seemed to be slowly healing itself. It was time to bring this to a close, they’d have to hit hard and fast. She hefted her maul around her head, imbuing it with the magics of the incense within. A large ball of smoke emerged from above her, climbing slowly until it reached even above their cohorts above. The scent of lilac floated down with it, reinvigorating her and her allies.
She smiled, then shot off at the lightning struck troll with blinding speed, slamming her fuming maul directly into it’s skull. It only had half a second to react, an attempt to block only met with the blinding weight of a hundred pounds of gilded steel.

“Yes she must be my liege is confident in her abilities and so am I”, Nadia yells as she quickly grabs Javal’s bag pulling out his ray bow to use.
She notches an arrow of light and fires towards the nearest troll flying straight it at’s head. Javal rushes over to clash against a troll not even worried about Gwendolyn knowing his friend’s power and strength. He pushes against the troll in front of him, his blade clashing against its large wooden club. Javal is suddenly filled with an intense feeling of strength as the scent of lilac floats through his nose. He is then able to overpower the troll slicing through its club and right into its shoulder. He digs in further, slicing its arm off from its shoulder. However he knows that is not enough to keep a troll down for long. Before the troll is able to regenerate its arm back, the fellblood spins back and this time his sword glows a vibrant ethereal white and the runes on its metal glow a bright blue. Suddenly the troll in front of him screams in anguish as the holy aquatic light of his sword pierces its body cutting it in half.

Gwendolyn whistled, signalling for Millicent to cover for her. She took out her smelling salts, cracked the vial, and took a deep sniff. Moments later, a thick plume of smoke covered her position. Millicent had cast as heavy cloud obscuring her master so that a short study could be conducted whilst Javal and Nadia took care of the stragglers. Gwendolyns vision shifted, the clouds parted for her as the potion took effect. She could see the bisected troll lying in half on the ground by javal. It’s chest pulsated on closer inspection, revealling that it had already stopped bleeding. In fact, after she had put on her fine leather gloves, it would seem that the entire wound was closing off. Such quick regeneration without a spell catalyst was unthinkable to her…and yet. Looking around, it would seem that the troll she had slammed with her fuming hammer had yet to even begin to regenerate. The singed burns along it’s skull sizzling softly in the cool night air. A crook of her eyebrow brought the thought to her attention. Was it fire? She summoned her maul from it’s normal standby position, and shoved the smoking head of it into the healing wound. The troll let out a soft groan as the regeneration slowed around the tip. “It’s fire!” She shouts, before lifting the maul above her head, and putting the troll out of it’s misery.

Another light arrow would fly through and hit a troll right between the eyes causing it to reel in pain before loud laughter would fill the chambers as the trolls begin to regenerate. As Javal stood over the troll he cut it in half he jumped back as the monster swiped for his feet and its body became one once more.
“What do we do my liege”, Nadia would yell notching in another arrow of light as she glanced around the room worried at their current situation.
“I’m not too sure. Everything I’ve done just seems to have not worked at all, I can’t think of anything else that could put these guys down once and for all”.
Javal then dodged an incoming club smash that barely missed his head before hearing Gwendolyn give them the answer.
“Fire?”, he’d remark finally understanding what he needed to do, he tapped his cuirass the red dragon plate (1) on his chest starting to shine. A deep burning sensation would fill his stomach before it would erupt out of his throat. Javal would then spew a small cone of fire at the troll in front of him causing a loud shriek and cry of pain to come from the monster. It seemed like Lady Gwendolyn had hit the nail on the coffin, and now that they figured out their weakness it should be easy to finish them off.

The last of the trolls bellowed mournfully into the night sky, before swinging twice at Gwendolyn. She ducked under the first one, but the second one slammed into her torso, sending her sideways into the canyon wall. Slumped against the cold stone, she raised a finger, a drew a burning sigil into the air directed at the monster. As her hand pressed into it, the ringing sound of chains could be heard, directly before they erupted out of the ground underneath the troll. Another attempt at a punch was thwarted as burning restraints wrapped themselves first around the wrist, and then around the rest of it’s body. Sizzling troll flesh could be heard as the beast strained against the chains of fire that encircled it’s entire body. Gwen could hardly stand, let alone finish the creature off, so she gestured towards Javal. “The honour is all yours, hunter. Dispatch with it how you see fit. We have discovered how to hurt it’s master, therefore it’s usefulness has come to an end.”
Her left arm unstrapped her Cuirass, and it’s bent form clattered to the ground. Damaged enough that she would probably be needing a new one… annoying. But worth it. Scerns God Killer Unique A very powerful spell that was crafted by Scern and used against Ziev in the battle over the Sol Stone. To cast this spell, you must have made no offensive actions on your last post (nothing that intended to deal damage, injure, hurt or afflict some kind of negative effect). When you cast this spell, you target one enemy you see within 20 feet causing red hot burning chains to burst from the ground and wrap around the target. The target will take medium amounts of fire damage and be unable to make movement or take any actions (including casting spells) for their next two posts. This spell can only be used once per topic and cannot be used against Player Characters (unless permission is given).

“Gwendolyn”, Javal would cry out seeing her slam into the wall with a loud thud, “Oh no! Are you alright there?”.
He would stop his fire spewing already finishing burning the rest of the trolls with his father’s red dragon plate. Rushing over before stopping in his tracks as the ground shook erupting and wrapping the last of the trolls with burning sizzling chains.
“Woah”, the fellblood would exclaim completely impressed at such a cool-looking spell, “No need to tell me twice my friend”, he’d remark charging forth as fast as he could his katana in hand as he jumped.
He placed all of his strength into the last attack swinging his blade forward and cutting the troll’s head clean off a trail of light and faint waves following his blade’s slash (1). He landed behind the troll’s body unable to regenerate thanks to Gwendolyn’s chains burning it but just to be safe Javal would tap his cuirass once more and burn the monster’s head sealing its death.
A loud “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO WE DID IT” would escape the eager fellblood’s mouth as he quickly ran over to check on his friend, “Are you okay? Do you need some medical attention? How many fingers am I holding up?", he'd ask holidng up five fingers, "Would you like to have this muffin I have in my jacket?”

She chuckled, wincing at the pain in her ribs as Javal fawned over her injury. Millicent rappelled down to tend to her master as well, offering water and beginning to wrap her injuries. “I will be fine, thank you” She says, quite flattered with all of the attention she was getting, and pushing away Javals hand with 2 fingers extended. With Millicents assistance, she got to her feet and started to survey the surroundings. Javal was right, we did indeed do it. They had more than enough combat information to relay to the guild for the fight that still awaited them. Hopefully, the big one wouldn’t leave her this shattered. “Millicent, bring back a flesh sample if you would. I’m sure they would like to study the effects of flame for themselves. Let’s get out of here before more show up…” She says, using her maul as a walking stick to limp her way out of the bloodstrewn canyon.

“Understood my friend, your strength is truly commendable”, Javal would say, tucking the mushed-up muffin in his hand back into his pocket to eat himself another day much to the dismay of his loyal retainer.
He had a huge grin on his face as Gwendolyn got back to her feet and cheered, “WOOHOO goodness those fiends didn’t even know what hit them. Those moves and techniques you showed out there were so amazing”, once more excited about their great victory. Nadia would signal to her liege that Gwendolyn and Millicent were probably tired and needed to do some guild work. So the duo would depart themselves walking out of the cave and heading in the opposite direction of Gwen.
The fellblood would turn around and say his goodbye yelling as loud as he could so his friend could hear, “Farewell Lady Gwendolyn it was a pleasure to fight alongside you once more. Those trolls were truly worthy opponents and seeing everyone work together with such skill was inspiring. I hope the next time we meet our encounter will be just as awesome and epic as this one”, and with that Javal and Nadia would continue their exit and head towards another adventure.
