Dragon Age: Sundering

[Tusk]

Kras stormed down an alleyway with Kain and Ham following. All he could think of at the moment was seeing Daltres and making him pay for his crimes. Kain would not interfere but help with the guards and that was good enough for Kras. He was suprised the templar was even coming along, rather than running to the dwarf. The unaromored Templar was hopefully skilled without his greatsword or he would only add to the body count.

Kras soon found himself to Daltres' manor. There were no guards outside and the closer he got, the more uneasy the feeling was. Ham began to growl loudly as he sniffed. Something was not right about the manor. Kras steeled himself as he walked forward and through the gate. The closer he got, the more angry he was getting. It was a mixture of rage from the last time he walked through the giant oak doors, and anger at himself for this feeling getting him. Even Ham seemed off as he began to sniff loudly and was there a bit of a wimper? It then dawned on Kras that there was a feeling death about the manor. Did someone already kill Daltres?

Kras walked toward the great oak doors, Daltres' Eagle symbol was on the doors. Kras Let out a growl as he took out his greatsword.
" I hope you are skilled with that dagger. " Kras spoke to Kain as he noticed the door was slightly cracked. He pushed open the door as Ham growled loudly and Kras knew the growl. It was the same growl that happened when they saw the town guards when they were ambushed. Kras heard movement. It sounded like walking, but the steps were off as if a drunk was walking. Kras' eyes suddenly grew wide as the steps soon had the light to shine on the figure making it. It was a pale human who looked as if the life was drawn out of him. The armor was that of of the same symbol that was on Kras' armband. Kras gripped his greatsword as his voice showed just the anger boiling in him.
" What magic is this? "
He could remember when the eyes he was looking into were filled with life. Now the man who Kras once called a friend was now a walking dead.
" I am sorry friend. I will make sure that you no longer suffer like this. "
The man let out a roar and suddenly there was sounds of running. The windows shattered as More undead began to run out and into the city. The man Kras used to call his leader took out a longsword and began to swing at Kras. There were also more coming for the door. Ham jumped and took the arm off of His former leader and Kras swung cutting his friend in half. They were brittle, but they were still dangerous. Kras stood over his leader as he stomped on his head thus stopping him from moving.
" Daltres!"
Kras roared as he suddenly went into a frenzy. He charged toward the Undead in a violent roar. He began to cut through the masses of servants and guards as through he had lost all sense of himself. He did not even notice the cuts he was starting to get from the guards.

OOC: Let's Do the Time Skip Again!

IC: "Pack up, the lot of you!" Selphina snapped her fingers several times rapidly. She had a scowl on her usually pleasant face, and seemed to be more than a little annoyed. The crisis in the marketplace had quelled, but the Wardens had attracted so much attention from it. Selphina had corralled all of the recruits together and taken them back to the castle. All of her belongings were packed, not that she had very many. So she stood at the entrance, arms crossed.

As Kennith packed up his robes and potions, he thought about the long-term effects that the brawl would have on the Wardens' reputation. Sure, they had just saved the COUNTRY, but the common folk had the memory of fishes. Oh well, nothing he could do about it.

As all of the recruits returned to the entrance, Selphina unfolded her arms and addressed them. "I negotiated an agreement with King Alistair and Queen Anora. To placate the worries of the people of Denerim, we are leaving immediately. Our original mission is still intact, however. We shall take a ship to the port city of Amaranthine, and from there we shall travel to Vigil's Keep, where we will gather information and resources. Our actions after that will depend on what we learn. Do you all understand? Good, now let us head for the docks."

The ship ride was mostly uneventful, save for a few cases of sickness and more than a few complaints. There was a bit of unease amongst crew and other passengers about the presence of Wardens, mages, elves, and the various other problems that the group was bound to bring, but no conflict came from any of this.

After little over a week of travel, the group saw the docks of Amaranthine, and there was celebration among those who had grown weary and tired of each others' company and the cramped spaces. Upon docking...

"Everyone, stay together. We shall not be splitting up any time soon." Selphina ordered. The group garnered stares of awe and pointing, and Selphina made a point of ignoring them. "This place smells like fish and disgust." Kennith said, making a gagging face. The city was not in the best shape, and showed the results of its assault at the hands of the darkspawn only a few years earlier. "Father told me about the Vigil, and the siege that it and Amaranthine went through. He said that the Warden-Commander himself saved the city, and that his hard work gave the Keep the defenses it needed to survive its own siege." Janne said to the others. "It is a shame that he is not here himself. I wonder, will we be the only wardens at the Keep?" she wondered aloud.
