Character: Maldan
Location: Aldur'thar
Maldan was held in a chokehold by the iron dwarf. He felt his life slip away... and he smiled.
- It is... in death... we are... rewarded!
It was with the greatest effort he spoke the words. The room turned dark before his eyes.
The iron dwarf let go of his neck. Maldan fell to the floor, unconscious.
((OOC: baaaaad idea to finish him off!))

Character: Maldan
Location: Inside Aldur'thar
He had never been especially adept at evocation, but the rage was fueling him and his energy seemed infinite as he created spheres of death and flung them at his enemies. Every cultist that fell was immediately brought back to fight again. When their bodies had been damaged enough to make resurrection impossible, they were instead risen as ghouls. The Damned fought with whatever means possible, throwing daggers and bones, wildly swinging scepters and even decorative statues, hurling vials full of deadly brews. Those skilled in the arts of evocation conjured balls of fire and ice and sent them at their enemies. The chaos was total. The Crusaders each fought like ten ordinary men, but they could not withstand the onslaught. One by one they eventually fell, until only five remained.
The five stood back to back in a circle, the cultists forming a larger circle around them. There was no escape.
((OOC: Ok, we take you prisoners, your friends die, you and I have a little duel and you escape. Seems like a good outcome to me.))

((OOC: Heh, I never intended to die... that's why I wrote "unconscious" :P so let's say I didn't, makes things much easier))
Character: Maldan
Location: Malykriss
When Maldan woke up, he was alone in a dark chamber. He felt weak. He remembered fighting.
After a moment in the darkness, he heard metal clad footsteps. A death knight holding a torch appeared in a doorway he had not spotted before. The death knight spat on the ground.
- Where am I? Maldan asked.
- You are in Malykriss, cultist.
- What happened?
- The Skybreaker was landing marines just as we arrived. We killed every single one of them.
- My brethren?
- Many of them are dead.
The death knight smiled a little.
- They're serving us now, he added.
- No! That's not their fate!
- They're serving us, and there's nothing you can do.
Maldan laid back on the floor. Death was of no concern to the Damned, but serving death knights as
ghouls
?
- Why am I here? he continued.
- You were found passed out next to an iron dwarf. We have him held here.
- I demand that I be returned to Aldur'thar!
- You should be grateful, cultist!
- Return me and the dwarf, now!
The death knight kicked him with his armored foot. Pain shot through his body, but it did not concern him. He would have vengeance on the dwarf. He passed out again from exhaustion.
He woke up in his quarters at Aldur'thar, Talah tending his wounds with an oozing elixir.
Corann, one of his other apprentices, stood beside her.
- My brother has fallen. So has a great number of others.
- Corann, what happened?
- You told us to stand down as the dwarf asked. You dueled him and you both passed out. The death knights arrived just as the Skybreaker landed reinforcements. The humans were wiped out, and the death knights... they raised our brethren as slaves.
- And the dwarf? Where is he now?
- He's being held in the dungeon, but we're not sure if it will hold him once he regains his strength. He is incredibly powerful.
- Don't let him escape.
Maldan passed out for the third time.
((OOC: Edited to add more))

(( OOC - Well, the events at icecrown are rolling nicely along during this other "meanwhile" scene. ))
Character: Dralas
Location: Grizzly Hills
- The Light of Dralas continued to try and hold off the unholy energy during their fight. Dargren had tried to intervene but was stopped before he could do anything.
Light: "I can't give in.. can't."
Dark: "Your soul does not belong to you! It is now the Lich Kings!"
Light: "No! The Lich King did not ressurect me! He ressurected my hate, my anger, not what good was in me!"
Dark: "You cannot win!"
Suddenly, Dargren had pulled out the crystal again and threw it at the two energies. The crystal hit the Light and quickly the Light began to grow brighter and brighter until it looked like the sun itself.
Light: "Righteous Fury!"
The Light had let out a surge of holy energy through the Dark. The Dark had screeched in pain and fell back, sword still in hand. The Light quickly ran at the body of Dralas that had collasped at the beginning of the encounter and entered it, taking control of it again.
Dark: "Fool! You think you won just because you have that pathetic body? I will find a new host, and we will meet again.."
The Dark dissappeared, and Dralas stood up shaking, trying to fully use his body one again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dark appeared before a cultist, inspecting him wondering if this cultist could actually help.
"Hello... Maldan."
(( OOC - Go ahead and take control of "Dark", I can't be controlling opposite sides.))

Character: Dancel
Location: Grizzly Hills
Dancel was fighting, when he saw The Dark flee from Dralas collapsed body.
I may be in trouble
he thought, and turned towards Dralas.
'You shall not live now, human'' he said and swung his sword towards Dralas.

Character: Maldan
Location: Aldur'thar
A few hours had passed since he had fallen unconscious the last time. He felt much better now. The brew had healed his wounds almost completely. He stood in his quarters and thought about what had transpired. Many of his brethren had fallen, including the highest ranking. Thus, he was now in charge of the whole Aldur'thar section.
The room became colder. A voice spoke behind him. As he turned around, he could see the shape of a man, only it was not made out of flesh and bone, but of pure energy.
- What are you? he asked the figure.
- What I am is not important.
- What are you doing here?
- Searching for a host.
- A host?
- A capable body. A living being to take control of. I cannot fulfill my goals in this form. You are the servant of my king.
- And you need... me?
- No. You are weak.
Weak? This body might be weak...
- Can you follow me?
Maldan headed for the dungeons, the dark figure following him like a shadow. The iron dwarf was certainly physically strong, if that was what mattered.
Perhaps too strong?
Without Maldan as much as raising an eyebrow, the cultist standing guard before the dungeon gate unlocked and stepped aside. He walked through the dungeon, the shadow still following him. In the far end of the long corridor, he opened yet another door. A steep stair led down into another torch-lit hallway. In the far end, behind saronite bars, laid an iron dwarf.
- If strength is what you request, this might be what you are looking for.
- No.
- No? Then I can not assist you. I will not give away one of my brethren as a
host
to a creature I know nothing of!
- Fool... I take what I need!
Pain streamed through Maldans body as the shadow entered him. He was no longer in control - he was still seeing with his own eyes, feeling, smelling, but he could not move.
-
You are more powerful than I thought.
-
Leave my body immediately!
-
No. When I have reclaimed what is rightfully mine, I will return it to you.
((OOC: "Dark" is in Maldan's body, "Light" is in Dralas. Time for a showdown?))

((OOC: We're getting pretty powerful as it is I guess, some more resistance would be just awesome. If you wish to continue scourge I can raise you, but a crypt lord lich? Besides, don't you need preparations to become a lich, and eventually die in a "controlled" way, storing your soul?
Edit: You could take control of "dark" also, would let me get rid of him in a nice manner. Unless Dralas had planned to rejoin the two?))

Character: Dargren
Location: Grizzly Hills
Dargren saw Dancel begin to cut down at Dralas. Dargren rushed with all his speed, ignoring the immense pain coming from his knee, and got in front of Dancel. Dargren fell to the ground bleeding after getting stabbed.
"Dralas.. go! I.. can handle.. *cough* them.." Dargren said as he tried to heal himself and stumble up.

((OOC: Ok, I don't think Rhonin will mind you battling in his city... or will he?))
Character: Maldan
Location: Aldur'thar dungeon
As the initial pain subsided, another feeling started dominating Maldan's mind. His body was a slave to the being inside him, and yet he felt more powerful than ever.
-
What if I can regain command of my body? he thought.
-
I know what you're thinking. It cannot be done.
The entity seemed to know his thoughts. It made sense, and yet it was disturbing.
All of a sudden, Maldan found himself in a distant, forested place. Two men where engaged in a fierce duel, a third lying down apparently injured. Spectating through his eyes, he felt his hand rise. Black mist formed around his fingers. A dark stream shot out and connected to the forehead of one looking like a paladin.
The victim of his spell screamed under the torture. Paladins where strong, their faith usually protected them from great pain. The magic was so powerful however, even Maldan felt some of the force backlash on him...
Such power... I remember now, why I began studying dark magic!
A moment later the paladin laid knocked out on the ground.
The being controlling Maldan's body turned to Dancel.
- Step away! Maldan's voice commanded the death knight.
- Who are you to order me,
cultist
?
- Step... back...
Maldan felt a rising rage inside him. He pointed his hand at Dancel, dark mist forming.
- You wouldn't dare!
Dancel fell to the ground under the torture.
-
Now... I will reclaim what belongs to me.
He walked over to the body of Dralas.
Maldan felt like he was torn into pieces as the being began leaving his body. He fell to the ground, trembling. The shadow stood bent over Dralas.
When he regained his senses, Maldan felt a great desire. A hunger, burning like fire inside him. Hunger for power. He stood up, his legs still not obeying him completely.
He mustered all his might and rage and with a bloodcurling scream he absorbed the shadow into himself once more.
Your powers... are mine!
((OOC - edit: Ok, seems powerful and yes, it is. Very. But remember I won't go around obliterating towns like a certain... death knight))
