    Just Another Manic Monday

    This thread was meant to be entitled "Just Another Maniac Monday
    “To those our most trusted diplomats, we are forever grateful for the service you have done both us and our dwarfish allies,” praised Queen Olivia, ruler of a small Kingdom just beyond the reaches of Kebiras in the outskirts of the Outlands.
    A sea of both elves and dwarves spanned over the ten acre, roughly hewn amphitheater which the dwarves had constructed the night prior. Queen Olivia permitted, against her council’s better judgement that King Hronzak’s people clear out a section of the forest to create a theater to honor Gavner and Black Shadow. Although the amphitheater spanned over ten acres, sound from the stage at the bottom still carried to the assembly; a thick canvas canopy, which let in the cool transpiration of the trees but not the harmful rays of the sun, hung in segments above the crowd. Gavner always found amazement in the dwarves’ ingenuity. About five hundred dwarves had done overnight what ten thousand men found impossible to achieve in one month.

    “Your journey has been perilous, and both of you even went beyond your diplomatic duty, as you fought against the insurgency after reforging the alliance between Queen Olivia’s and my Kingdom. Not only did you deliver news of and negotiate the alliance, but you returned to my kingdom and helped take back Al Kitar,” King Hronzak exclaimed.

    “Such display of courage, loyalty, and duty have not been seen amongst our allies since the donning of the Common Era,” Olivia announced in front of the crowd. “For this, General, we would like to extend our hand in friendship to Clan Annoterish for as long as the moon shall rise, and the sun shall set. May you be our allies in the night, and may we be your wisdom in the day.”

    “And may you be our strength in the shadows, and may we be your power from the mountains. Let the dawning of a new age of might set upon the two kingdoms and the clan together, that we should defend each others’ weaknesses, and augment each others’ strengths that the world may never overtake us.” King Hronzak said.

    “And for you, Black Shadow,” Queen Olivia said addressing the Archer. “You have done us a great service, acting first out of companionship for your friend, but continuing on with him out of loyalty for the alliance. For this, we would like to bestow you the gift of our domain. Use it well. May it bring you luck, and may you find fortune to come.” The queen handed Black Shadow a small spherical object, wrapped in white cloth.

    “For incurring great sacrifice, and lending us your great strength in our time of need. For that, we are grateful and hope to return the favor. The royal tailors have fashioned you a new mask, woven from the silk of the fierce burrow-worms which live under Al Kitar. They give strength to the mountain, and establish the King’s right to rule. They guard their space under the mountain, and burrow under the skin of the feint hearted who tread there. May this mask increase the threshold of feats of strength possible to you by threefold.” King Hronzak said.

    “Both of you will always have a place amongst our Kingdoms,” Queen Olivia stated. “May the world never forget your courage, and may the world never forget your courage. Let us all come together now, and join in celebration of the reforging of the alliance!”

    The only parties that Gavner had attended which rivaled Queen Olivia and King Hronzak's joint celebration were the Clan's gathering parties back at his mountain. The elves had the most beautiful spread of colorful exotic fruits and pastries. Delicious glazed cinnamon buns and green leafy salads spread all of the feast tables, and special magical crystals which twinkled with brilliant starlight floated in the treetops. Bright stars shone through the forest canopy, causing a faint glow to shine about.

    Amidst the fair decorations and feast that the elves laid out, the dwarves had laid out large tankards and bottles of brandy and fine wines. Massive mountain boar roasts and trays of bear meat littered the feast. Fillets of sea beasts and fine cuts of massive fish, along with buffalo roast lined the tables amidst the beautiful and lavish layout. Platters of special mushrooms and truly massive kegs of aged mead and spiced ale formed a self-serve station where dwarves filled tankard after tankard of the delicious alcohol, and ate handfuls of the mushrooms at a time. The elves sampled the dwarven cuisine, not knowing the strength of the exotic mind alterations, and the night disseminated into chaos.

    People were running around littering, and climbing trees. Some used magic while under the effects and created powerful illusions and alterations to the surroundings. Others conjured reptilian beasts of the wild which randomly charged at passing dwarves and tackled them to the ground. Elves launched fireballs at trees and electrocuted passerbys in the rear end, falling down and laughing hysterically as their unsuspecting targets rubbed their singed eyebrows, or seized from the thunderbolt. The dwarves also had their fair share of shenanigans as well, however.

    They created large forts out of boulders and stones that they found in the forest, and massive stone slingers. Both the dwarves and the elves formed opposing coalitions and began company sparring as a team deathmatch. The elves acted as battle mages while the dwarves built basic battle machines and carved paths out of the ground. The dwarves work was coarse, and the elves were sloppy. A rogue fireball incinerated the base of a tree trunk timbered into a fort, killing 6 combined dwarves and elves. It took the Queen's healers 4 hours to revive everybody.

    Gavner and Black Shadow enjoyed themselves as the night grew old. They broke bread with the royalty and the councils of each kingdom. Gavner drank about thirteen tankards of mead in ten minutes before he started to feel differently. Partially through the night, King Hronzak's head steward, Woodan, beckoned Gavner to follow. The dwarf lead Gavner to a covered cart on the outskirts of the city, where the party faintly bumped in the distance. He unveiled the cart to find the corpses of eight different people.

    "Woodan, these are not-" Gavner started.

    "No, they are all fresh but none of them are from this kingdom. We found them all along our way, trying to ambush us before they realized our true numbers.

    "I appreciate the offer, Woodan, but I cannot-"

    "Can't what?" Woodan pressed.

    "You call me 'vampire' but I am not a vampire as you understand it. It is far too complicated to explain. If you were an infant mortal, you might know what I speak of."



    Gavner doubled over a mead barrel as he spewed a fountain of blood, ale and meat chunks. Apparently last night, after acting against his better judgment, he had dueled with the drunken and incoherent King Hronzak, the heavily intoxicated Queen, their entire councils of Staff, both of their top military generals, and each of their finest battlemages: 26 on 1. The bloodlusted vampire smoked them all, and then proceeded to tear down trees with his bare hands to barricade himself in with the mead as he drained 3 fifty gallon kegs by himself. He woke up the following evening in the rubble of splintered kegs, destroyed furniture, shattered war instruments and sheared axes, swords and polearms.

    "Xczunge!" Gavner cursed between retches. "It must be a Monday."
