Post by Damien »

One evening, a short while after Drakhen Vorkalion's first attack against Troll's Bane, Damien starts to search Olorin. Because of city defenses, and increased Guard activity, he is a bit short on time, just managed to escape all the trouble for some minutes.
Leaving the Library, but armed and with his magic staff ready, he walks a bit through the fewer populated village parts. Walking around the small creek, he finds himself in front of the tavern.
"Hmm... no light inside. Sure, in times of trouble... but well, i will take the tunnel to avoid meeting people on my way back."
Walking inside, and behind the bar tables, Damien starts to descend - suddenly stops. Sniffs around... then, grabs his wand, and whispers a word. Immediately, light floods the tunnel.
Seeing no monsters down there, Damien jumps down the ladder, quickly turning around.
The smell down here has become a stench... stench of indigrients and blood... and black magic.
Alarmed, Damien slowly walks through the tunnel, examining walls, floor, and ceiling with more than three senses. The stench becomes more subtile, and after leaving the magic tunnel passage, Damien stands under the Library.
Slowly, and carefully, Damien examines floor and Walls... finally finding some drips of dried blood on the floor, and on one wall. And weird marks on a brick...
Damien closely examines the Brick. The smell comes from there... finding no traps, Damien grabs his sword, and hits the Brick with the handle.
It breaks, revealing to be a fake brick, in the place where it belongs, lies something. After taking a closer look, Damien puts on leather gloves, takes his dagger, puts the stuff on the floor, and examines it.
The thing looks like a half-rotten small dove, tied and bound in three colored strings, attached with different weird looking knots. A small clay-made amulet is attached to it, in shape of a heart, and broken in two halves, the bird's dried blood in form of weird looking runes on it.
Damien's face turns pale a bit, his lips trembling as he bites on them in anger. Then, recognizing the spell, he steps a bit back, and burns all of it in a big fireball, then burns away the blood on the wall...
Afterwards, he draws a rune into the ashes, and mumbles : "Your harm shall be no more, your spell shall be broken."
Then, he climbs upstairs, and walks to the shop pinboards where he pins down a note :


"A Curse has been casted in the library. I have removed its components, and stopped its effects from getting worse. But to neutralize it completely, we need to know WHO was cursed. As it seems, the used curse works by perverting the feelings of people nearby, especially on the feeling "love".
As it seems, the time when the evil spell was casted, was during the preparations of the concert, or DURING the concert. It could have affected every person who was in "love" at that time, but by analysing it, i found out that it is concentrated against two persons, maximal four. These person's names must have been spoken through the ritual - we must find out who that persons are, and get a Sirani priest to remove that curse."

Waiting for Dyluck she happened by the boards a begun to skim over the many writings. She was just about to leave when Damiens post had caught her attention, her face draining of color.

She made a small fire to warm to night and read his post over and over again.. could it be true?

She remebered seeing Olorin.. and all that had happen with Gala.. it was her fault..

Then a thought struck her.. something Dyluck had said "maybe he is inside you"

Her hands begun to shake violently, a pain hidden deep inside the pit of her stomach.. and with a final resolve she took a charred stick from the fire and scratched a reply.

Damien, I know who, I know when and I think.. it was because of me..

Damien checks the pinboard for replies. Finds one, and quickly, without showing any expression on his face, writes a reply:


Because of Whom ? Dammn... this curse wears the signature of Drakhen Vorkalion personally. I think, he just tries to turn the people against each other.
Immediately tell us who the targets  are !
And think about the possibility that you yourself are one of them. Your answer sounds like you are about to feel guilty for something. Keep your mind clear.

Dyluck woke up early again that morning. Sabrina was still lying sound asleep next to him. Good. This was the opportunity. No need to put any more burdens on her, I'll just go by myself. Birds sung their morning hymns nearby as the sun shone gently on the moon elf's skin. He planted a kiss on her forehead. This will all be over soon he whispered to the sleeping angel.

As he prepared his belongings, his mind wandered to his conscience again. This is wrong it told him. You're being selfish. But then he brushed it aside. It can't be helped. Her love was the most important thing I ever had and I will do anything for it. Anything.

Then he heard the dark voice echoing through his head again. Go. He picked up his belonging and headed off. He kept running and running, as fast as he could, trying to drown his conscience to deepest recesses of his soul.

Finally he stopped at his destination. He knelt down behind the trees on the hillside looking down on the impressive contours of the castle that was the home of the knights of the grey rose...

I don't want to do this....but...

A man with a green cape strode out from the front gates of the caste and trodded on the path along the hill. He couldn't see the man's face from here. Was it him? Only one way to find out...

He was about to get up to intercept the man when he felt a hand on his shoulder....

A tall, almost elven looking woman stands behind him, seemingly appeared out of nowhere. A white dove with golden eyes sits on her shoulder.
"And you're not thinking she may loose her trust in you for doing that ? Come on, find another way..." Then she disappears, with a weird sound resembling the ringing of small bells, and suddenly, golden light from the rising sun baths the whole place...

Damien pins another note on the pinboard:


The curse Victims have been found. Olorin and Galadria, please meet me as soon as you can. Don't start any trouble.
The curse may have worked side effects on Dyluck and Sabrina. You two, meet me as soon as possible, too.

To remove the curse, we need a priest... most preferably a Sirani or Tanora Priest. Darzog, you have already proven that your goddess supports you, i would be glad if you could answer.

No. Thats not fair. Master Olórin is the most friendly person Ive met.
But yes. Yesterday he was not himself. I was irritated in cause of his kind of speaking with his wife Galadria.
Please, Damien, help both.

*thinking: Why Olórin? Why not Badmosche?*

Wieder einer dieser Planlosen Tage die mich durch die Stadt jagen. Kein Ziel vor Augen nur Sorgen die mich plagen. Sorgen um meine Freunde. Sorgen um meiner selbst.
Ich traf zu meinem eintreffen in der Stadt sehr viele Freunde die mir ans Herz gewachsen waren. Unteranderem verlor ich mein Herz an einem der mir nicht gehören darf. Aber das habe ich überwunden. Ich hab wieder zu mir gefunden. Ich war wieder guten Mutes. Doch dann geschah etwas was mich total verwirrte. Beim Konzert wurde ein Fluch ausgesprochen. Ein Fluch der wohl genau die traf die mir viel bedeuten.
Was konnte ich tun? Solte ich zusehn wie sie beide zu grunde gehn? Sollte ich abwarten?
Nein das war nicht das was ich wollte. Mein innerstes sagte mir das ich was unternehmen muß. Ich muß ihnen Helfen. Gala und Olo bedeuten mir zu viel als das ich da nur tatenlos zu sehn konnte. Ich redete mit beiden. Beide sind Totunglücklich. Das kanns doch nicht sein.
So versprach ich Gala mich auf den Weg zu machen um eine Lösung zu finden. Eine Lösung die ihrem Leiden ein Ende machen sollte.
Zudem schwor ich Gala das ich erst eine Lösung finden werde und mich dann um meiner selbst kümmern würde. Für mich bedeutete das das ich solange ich keine Lösung gefunden habe mein Herz niemanden geben werde. Finde ich niemals eine Lösung werde ich meinen Namen gerecht werden und die "Ewige Jungfrau von Orleans" bleiben.

So machte ich mich auf um eine Lösung zu finden. Mein Gedanke brachte mich darauf zur Göttin Sirani zu beten. Sie die Göttin der Liebe muß doch einen Weg wissen.
Ich überlegte sogar eine Pristerin Siranis zu werden. Doch das war keine Lösung. Ich machte mich also auf den Weg um einen Prister bzw eine Pristerin zu finden vieleicht konnten die mir helfen das Sirani mein Wort erhört.
Doch dann geschah etwas was mich noch mehr verwirrte.
Ich traf einen Elfen. Einen Elfen der auf eine sehr merkwürdige Art und weise mein Herz gefangen nahm. Ich spürte Wärme, Nähe und Geborgenheit. All dies was ich vorher dachte verloren zu haben. All dies was ich Sehnsüchtig suchte. All dies was ich Gala abschwor.

Jetzt war ich echt verzweifelt. Alle meine Vorstellungen schwanden dahin. Ich lief Gefahr den Weg meiner Aufgabe zu verlassen. War mir auf einmal alles egal geworden?
Nein das durfte nicht geschehn. NIEMALS *Ich schrie auf*

Ich ging sofort in die Kapelle. In die Kapelle in der ich hoffte einen Näheren Kontakt zu Sirani zu bekommen. Ich flehte sie um Hilfe an. Hilfe in erster Linie für meine Freunde Olo und Gala. Hilfe für meiner selbst.
Doch bis heute erhörte Sirani nicht mein Flehen. *Ich sank weinent zu Boden*

So faste ich mich erneut obwohl ich schwach war. Schwach um meine Aufgabe zu lösen. Schwach meiner selbst zu finden. Doch meine Gedanken waren bei diesem Elf. Diesem Elf. Ist er es vieleicht der mir helfen kann.
Aber ich stehe doch an letzter Stelle.
Verzeifelt und verwirrt betete ich erneut zu Sirani in der Hoffnung das sie mich nun endlich erhört und meinem Leiden ein Ende setzen kann.

* Sirani du Göttin der Liebe erhöre mich. Ich Jean  brauche dich. Ich brauche deinen Rat. Deinen Rat um meine Freunde Olo und Gala von diesem Fluch zu befreien. Ich brauche deine Hilfe um einen Weg zu finden. Einen Weg um diesem Elend ein Ende zu setzen.
Sirani ich brauche deinen Rat für meiner selbst. Ich weiß nicht was mein Herz mir sagt. Es erfüllt mich mit Kälte und sehe ich diesen Elf verwirrt es mich da es auf einmal ein großariges Gefühl aufbringt. Doch weiß ich nicht ob es nur einseitig ist. Ist dieser Elf doch selbst gefangen. Gefangen in meiner Augen fremden Welt.
Sirani ich bin noch jung und so unerfahren. Sirani lass mich nicht im Stich.
Sag mir Oh Göttin der Liebe was soll ich tun? *

Mit diesen Gedanken sank ich erneut zu Boden und weinte. Weinte über meine Verbitterung.
Doch was kann ich tun um die Göttin zu erfreuen. Da kam es mir in den Kopfgeschossen. Als wäre es schon immer da gewesen. EIN FEST!
Richte ein Fest für Sirani und vieleicht erfreut sie es.

Ja das wollte ich tun. So stand ich auf und machte mich auf den Weg alles notwendige für dieses Fest zu organiesieren. Es sollte ein besonderes Fest werden. Sirani sollte hoch erfreut darüber sein. So ging ich zurück zur Stadt um alles Mobil zu machen.

Sometime after Drakhen's defeat, Dyluck wakes up in his bed with a severe headache. He thinks to himself....'Hmm maybe i should find Sirani or a priest, just in case i'm really cursed.'

#me posts a note on the board:

Damien, I can make anti-curse potions to try to remove the curse...
Free of charge... I just need to see you.
And those attending the party be careful, it is a perfect chance to strike.

#me walks back out and stands guard next to the library.

#me makes a strange face at the note of Dyluck's.

Oh, no! I've overslept again! Must have been a curse... ;)

#me posts another note up:
I have seen a strange rune symbol in the grass behind to my shop... it is unrecognizable.
Please, I need to see a priest about this!
Yours truly, Erdrick the Merchant
#me hammers the note so it will stick there.

And Damien, I see you found some different colored ink...
Could you lend me some? :)
