Mad mage around ! - flee, people.

A grey robed figure quickly enters the tavern, and pins a note to the board:

"A mad magician seems to be around. I have never met or seen him, but i seem to be close on his trace, for i see the fires wherever i follow it.
Some people blamed me for attacking them, what i do not know of. Either, this mad mage put a spell on me, or he somehow casted me unconscious, and then casted an illusion over me, casting at people. I will try to prove this by catching him. But i don't seem able to get close to him. Please report strange persons, or persons who act strange, under this post !"
The robed person hears footsteps, and leaves the tavern, quickly grabbing something to eat. Then, he quickly steps into the shadows. As a person moves towards the board, Damien quietly steps out of the door.
Outside, he suddenly changes - his eyes start to burn with fire, and a smoke-like grimace covers his face. He removes the robe part covering his face, looks at the tavern doorway, and suddenly, the doorway starts to burn. Damien throws his head back, and maniacally laughs in a total different voice. Then he quickly runs away...

Evening.
Dyluck and Badmosche bring a very angry Damien to the place, where the Statue and the lava fields are. Damien dissappears...

Night time.
Again, some sensitive people, priests, mages, elves and fairies for example, got a strange dream.
A thin, tall person wearing a torn, burned grey robe is bound to a kind of pole. A magic wand lies next to the person. From somewhere out of the fog, a kind of mad laughter can be heard. The person's lips seem to form words: "Dammn you", or likewise.
Flames spring from somewhere, and repeatedly hit the person. The dreamer feels pain - and awakes, screaming.

hmmm... I think there is no doubt that his mind is obsessed by a strange power, perhaps the bone-lord (damien always uses this name)
I'm not sure but I think this all happend perhaps before Damien fumbled his ritual in the northwest....
To free his mind we'll defenetly need some good mages or priests.
Tell us immeadiately if you find something in the bib., olorin. I'll do some research myself.

But at first we shall capture damien again!

Night time. And another dream time...
Forest. Pictures of moving plants. Plants everywhere..
A figure, wearing a torn dirty robe, using a staff as a help for walking, slowly wanders an overgrown path. Mist lies around the path, and trees and plants in the mist are left and right from it. Suddenly, the plants move on the path, blocking it. The mist gathers, and several figures shape out of it. The tall person stops in its movement, and slowly turns around. The robe's back is cut into burned pieces, as from a hot whip.
The figure is surrounded by the misty shapes. Some of them start to burn with fire. All movement, even that of the wind, stops. Silence...
In a single moment, the misty and burning shapes start to move at incredible speed, towards the figure - passing through it, again and again. The staff falls to the ground, the person goes to its knees, and a scream is to hear...
The dreamer awakes screaming, with a burning feeling in the chest, almost unable to breath for a moment.

a Tale from the faeries of the woods.

They had seen the petriefied Girl move, - quiet a wounderous thing -
how could a Statue move... maybe she wasnt all stone, ore maybe there were times
when the stone grew soft enough for her will to move her legs......

but then there were trees, and no statue, as mobile as may be, can climb them or walk through them.
a hopeless situation.... for the trees are strong, and a hidden will protects them from damage..

on the other side of the groove there is the lavapool, which has left a trail, indicating it is moving too. will it be able to go on, or has something blocked its path...

but who knows what will happen if any of the two continues, or if they ever meet.
will it be wholesome or devastative......

The Statue and the Lava now have met. Stilll standing there, but something seem to have changed.

Some people arrive at the place, and create a ritual cirlcle on the floor. They start to meditate, throw mushrooms on the floor, start to burn fires and water and wind arrows all over the place. Then, they intonate magic words, repeatedly, meditating and concentrating, shouting the words...
A burst in the middle of the circle. A figure stumbles out, as if trying to stop from running at full speed...
The thin figure wears an old, torn grey robe, and crashes into a nearby standing tree, going unconscious from the crash.

A short time later, Sir Sirius, Peregrin and Damien reach the library. Damien brings out some words : "Beer..." and immediately takes one out of the magic box in the entry room. Empties it, and another one, and the next... Peregrin and Sirius persuade him to go upstairs.
After a short stop at the magic box up there, Damien is some beer bottles richer. To keep the others from stopping him drinking it, he says (quite drunk meanwhile) something about party and giving some beer. It does not sound very convincing. After Damien mumbles something about forgetting things, monsters and stupid experiences, he simply falls asleep...
