Vanoss and his friends are resting from a great battle with margit. Tho he did put quite a fight but the guys managed to take him down. But his last words was a bit odd about this not being over. But they won't for sure. About a minute they finish resting and ready to move.
Vanoss: alright, let's get a move on
Delirious: ok
Wildcat: let's do this
But before they could move on Melina appears by the grace and the guys stop to see her.
Melina: going somewhere
Vanoss: umm ya, to the stormveil castle
Melina: I see, but I like to talk to you three
Wildcat: ok
Melina: if you must know I've been...testing you three. To see whether or not grace truly does guide you three. And...whether you all are fit to face the challenge that entails.
Delirious: but we kill that margit guy
Wildcat: so you can say we are fit for any challenges
Melina: yes and It seems my worries were unfounded. Torrent had your measure from the very start. Whereas I merely pretended. There is but one other thing I can do to offer you guidance
Vanoss: what is it?
Melina: I can take you three to the roundtable
Wildcat: the roundtable?
Melina: a gathering place of Tarnished champions, guided by Grace. That is where I'll take you three to
Delirious: sounds interesting
Wildcat: well we should take a look, what do you think evan
Vanoss: hmmm..... Ya sure let's see this roundtable place
Melina: Very well. Let my hand rest upon you three, for but a moment
Vanoss: alright
Melina than held out her hand for the three to hold. Vanoss and his friends held out their hands above Melina's hand. Than everything started to be darken as the guys feel lightheaded. Than everything went black again....
Vanoss and his friends wakes to see where there at while dealing with another headache. They look to see that they are not at the bridge, but rather a large room. In the middle of the room is a roundtable with multiple swords and spears pointing in the center to what looks like a giant grace.
Delirious: so this is the roundtable
Wildcat: looks crazy but cool
Vanoss: but what are we doing here
Wildcat: guess to meet someone
Vanoss: ya but who
Delirious: hey look
Delirious points at someone by a wall near a closed door. It a person wearing an armor that looks like a chess piece of a king or something. They walked to him and greeted him.
Vanoss: ummm hi
???: Oh, this is a rare occasion. I can't remember the last time a new Tarnished made their way to the Roundtable. But seeing three tarnishes is something new to me
Vanoss: ya I'm evan and these are my friends Tyler and Jonathan but call him del
Wildcat: nice to greet you dude
Delirious: hey
???: Hmm I see your all polite, Very well. As your senior, I bid you welcome. It is safe here. You may let down your guard
Vanoss: ok thanks
???: Allow me a word of advice, as your senior. You are a mere visitor to the Roundtable, nothing more. A house guest, yet to earn their keep. Remember your place, newcomers
Wildcat: alrighty then, so....
???: There's nothing left to say. Be at your leisure
Wildcat: alright, geeze man
Vanoss: come on let's check to see someone else
Delirious: like him
He pointed to a person wearing a yellow clothing with a big bell on his side and a plank of wood around his neck. He is also blindfolded as he is praying. Vanoss went to check him to see what he has to offer.
Vanoss: hey dude
corhyn: Oh, I see you've just arrived. Welcome to the Roundtable Hold. I'm corhyn, a man of the cloth. I teach incantations, the strength granted us by the Two Fingers, and explore the secrets of the Golden Order
Vanoss: is that so
Corhyn: yes, do you wish to purchase and learn incantation
Vanoss: so you give me stuff like fire magic and healing magic
Corhyn: of course I do
Vanoss: well what do you have
Corhyn than pulls out a couple of pages of what looks to be new incantation spells. Vanoss looks at it carefully and noticed one that look to be perfect. A page with a fireball spell called fire sling, so vanoss purchase it and puts it in his jacket.
Corhyn: now one thing
Vanoss: what
Corhyn: if you wish to learn more incantation, you must find the prayerbooks
Vanoss: prayerbooks?
Corhyn: each book contains new incantation, if find them and bring them to me, than I'll give you new spells
Vanoss: ok
Vanoss was about to leave until corhyn stops him.
Corhyn: one more thing
Vanoss: ya
Corhyn: what is this outfit you are wearing, I have never seen such an outfit.
Vanoss: I recommend I don't tell you about my outfit
Corhyn: I see because I thought it's from the fire monks, you know from the red
Vanoss: oh well ya
While that is happening delirious explore the right side of the roundtable and sees a creature smithing a weapon. This creature didn't seem to notice him, so delirious walks up to him and the smith creature sees him.
???: new faces huh. No matter, it's all the same. Lay out your arms. Let's get smithing
Delirious: umm what? Who are you
Hewg: I'm the smithing master hewg, I Smith weapons for tarnishes
Delirious: ok cool *looks behind him and sees the chains*
Hewg: *notice* I see you've noticed the chains. Nothing special. I'm a prisoner, and these are my chains. I'm trapped by the Hold, undying, smithing for you fools. That's all there is to it.
Delirious: oh your a prison?
Hewg: Nah, don't read too much into it. I've no grudge against you or your friends. My being a prisoner is no fault of yours. Besides, I don't mind smithing. Despite my differences, the weapons get stronger, all the same. Given time, technique never fails. Besides, it helps me forget. The sheer terror of her...
Delirious: ok than, oh hey you wouldn't have to have any staffs right
Hewg: I Smith weapons, not sell weapons. If you need anything you can see the twin maiden on the left side of the roundtable
Delirious: ok
Hewg: now be on with ya and feel free to see me if you want your weapons improve
Delirious: ok
Delirious walk into the next room and sees a lady in a black dress. Her hoodie covers half of her face, but it looks to be that she can see him.
Fia: Greetings, great champion called by grace. I am Fia. Circumstances have compelled my stay at the Roundtable Hold
Delirious: umm I'm Jonathan, but call me del
Fia: Great champion, would you allow me to hold you, but briefly?
Delirious: I'm sorry what now?
Fia: is something I do, Perhaps you might share with me some of your lifely vigour, and your stout-heartedness. Doing so will grant me the warmth of a champion. And you, I am sure, will bear a baldachin's blessing
Delirious: I don't know about this
Fia: Do you think it vulgar, perhaps? Where I come from, it is a sacred act
Delirious: ok than
Delirious walks up to her and she opens her arm out like a hug. Delirious let's her hold him as she puts her arm around him. Tho where he's at his head is close to her chest, his mask hid his blush. If his wife was here she would kill him for this.
Fia: Ah, my thanks, great champion. You are...very warm...
Delirious felt something in him like a warm feel in his body.
Fia: What you felt light up inside you was a baldachin's blessing. Though it is but a fleeting thing, I am afraid. Come back to me, should you require another. I will take you in my arms as often as you need
Fia let's go of delirious and he heads back to his friends. He's also going to try not to tell anyone and his wife about hugging another woman, if that is a hug. Meanwhile wildcat see someone in a silver armor with bits of red on it. So he thought of greeting him for just to see him.
Wildcat: sup dude
???: *Confused*
Wildcat: oh I mean hi
Diallos: Ah, hello. You must be new here. I'm... Well, just call me Diallos. The honor of one's house holds little import in these lands
Wildcat: well I'm Tyler
Diallos: nice to meet you tyler, By the way, have you met a young woman named Lanya on your travels?
Wildcat: umm no, who is she
Diallos: She's my servant, but fickle as the wind. Take your eyes off her for a moment and she's good as gone. If you find her, please be sure to tell me
Wildcat: oh than, I will
Diallos: thank you
Wildcat heads back to his friends, but he decided to wait for his friends at the roundtable. About a minute later his friends arrive with some news about the place.
Vanoss: so what do yaw think about the place
Delirious: looks cool and I met a smithy guy
Wildcat: really, that's cool
Delirious: what did you do Tyler
Wildcat: I talk to that guy name Diallos
Delirious: ok
Vanoss: I got a new spell
Delirious: what is it?
Vanoss: a flame sling or fireball is what it is
Delirious: you can throw a fireball now
Vanoss: yup and I can't wait to use it
Delirious: so how do we get back
Vanoss: I don't know
Wildcat: hmm *looks at the guy the wall* hey buddy how do we get back
???: Use the grace in front of you and picture the place you wish to go
Vanoss: alright, hey we didn't get your name
???: You won't, I won't tell you my name until you do something that will impress me
Wildcat: which is what
???: Figure it out
With that the guys went to the giant grace and sat down by it. Than they close their eyes and picture the place they previously were at, mainly the bridge. As they did this they felt lighted and everything eventually went to black.
The guys woke up with a headache again and see that they are back at the bridge they left from.
Wildcat: ooh man we got to get use to that
Vanoss: no shit man
Delirious: well he is right about how to use the grace
Vanoss: ya, now where were we
Wildcat: we were going to the stormveil castle
Vanoss: oh right
Delirious: oh ya umm evan
Vanoss: yes del
Delirious: I need to borrow torrent
Vanoss: torrent?
Delirious: the ring to summon the horse
Vanoss: oh ya, but what for
Delirious: I need to go look for the sorcerer so I can get new spells and a staff
Wildcat: but we might need your help
Delirious: but I don't have a staff, without a staff I do my magic
Vanoss: *think for a minute* ok but once you do you have to return to us
Delirious: I will
Vanoss: here you go*throws the ring to delirious*
Delirious: thanks.... Umm how do I use it
Vanoss: I don't know
Wildcat: I meant it's are first time seeing torrent
Delirious: it has holes
Vanoss: maybe a whistle, try blowing it
Delirious blows it and the horse they wanted to see appears underneath delirious. He sees that he is on the horse who is torrent and from the looks of him is just an average horse, but with horns.
Wildcat: how that's some horse
Delirious: no kidding
Vanoss: you know how to ride a horse right
Delirious: maybe
Vanoss: well be on your way and remember to return to use
Delirious: I will, giddyap horse *no movement* ummm lets go *no movement* lets move torrent
As he said that torrent moves and delirious grabs a hold of the saddle. Vanoss and wildcat saw this and was funny to see. After their laugh they head on to stormveil castle and see what's awaits them in this stormy castle.
