h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Two huge steel gates lined with runes and a stone wall lined with runes are visible.*


*Everything behind it is pitch black, black as death. Ghosts and spirits are visible only if they come within a certain range. Try not to call forth too many spirts for too long or you will become weakened and they may force there way out to the mortal plane.*

*A gash opens right near the steel gates picking up the wind. A few of the spirits notice the opening and begin to move closer towards the gate. They see a man exit the portal holding it for more to come through.*


*Luckily the portal is on the other side of the gate blocking off the undead...for now....*

*Drogheda follows Craxus through, looking around suspiciously at her surroundings.*

*Swallows nervously and follows Craxus and Drogheda*

Nice place you've chosen

It was the only quick route. Oh and no mind chatting...its kind of like a homing beacon for the bigger spirits.


*Walks over to teh gate its large length protected by various spells and enchantments. Human bones melded together to make the barricade to hold the dead in their realm.*


*The High Lord walks over and uses his magic to lift the barricade out of its holding spot and holding it in the air as the massive gates open up.*


Ok the spirits around here are fresh so they won't try to do anything to us, since they still have humanity or what ever still in them. So let us move along. If we atttract anything else well then....let us just go...


*Holds the gate open for them so they can go through it.*

*Drogheda walks through, eyes narrowed.*

*Follows after him*

*Pagasus walks up to the gates*
Evil Beware..

*Pagasus walks in the grave yard*

*once inside death she stalks forwards purposefully, she makes no effort to disguise the fact she is there and the dead swarm towards her...suddenly her father is stood in front of her*

[Nick] Where is my little mage

*for a moment Syian seems to have frozen as Lumien thought she would but she manages to croak out her words*

She will not be harmed, you have no power any more

[Nick] No power? I have eternal power over you my daughter

*he moves towards her and caresses her cheek, she stands still but trembles at the touch...suddenly years of surpressed fear and rage takes hold, she throws the bell at his head with all her strength. It knocks him back a little way, she stands with her head held high...triumphant for now*

[Nick] Foolish child, I shall leave you here powerless

*he unsheaths his flaming sword and throws it accurately as a javelin, it pierces her through the ribs and she lies pinned to the floor of death*

*Nick takes out one of his own bells and rings it, stepping into life*

*in death she pales and stops trying to wrench the sword free, her strength is fading quickly. She knows that her father is using their blood ties to protect himself against the water, his injuries will become hers....her hand begins to bleed*

*a rather large shadow appears from the deeper shadows*

What have I told you, leetle man, about hurting my friends?

*the shadow leans down and in the half light it's demonic visage can be seen, it's leathery,, bat like wings are torn and tatered with age and it's face is a grotesque carachature. It plucs the sword from Siyan* and pics her up in it's arms*

Save your streangth necromancer, we need you to open a portal to the magicians guild

*Syian lies still ,the strength drained from her. She is still conscious but cannot move. She is deathly white and blood is flowing from the wound where the sword still pins her to the floor through her ribs*

*the dead souls, no longer nervous, start to latch onto her, sucking out her remaining life*

*she lies in the creatures arms, drained and bleeding*

*the creature walks to where it entered the realm of the dead*

Here necromancer, we need you to open a portal here

Wh - what are you? Why should I open a portal for you?

*her strength dwindles with every passing moment*

I am a friend, probably the only friend you have here. If you do not open the portal then you will die here and I will remain trapped here until anoth comes who can re-unite me with my body

Your body...what are you?

Hah! I am the dead part of a man who can't die, which is why when I entered here, to help someone very dear to me, my body was trapped in the land of the living

Who are you here to...to help?
