For Justin’s character:
The screaming has stopped. You turn to leave when a shadow catches the corner of your eye. Or at least you thought it did. You scan the room but no one is there. The light coming from your brow clearly illuminates the small dining room and casts shadows about. Maybe it was your imagination. Still you can’t shake the feeling you are being watched.

Drip. Drip. Drip. The sound is distant and ethereal but its there. You stop your gaze on the far side of the room opposite the dinner table. There you see it clearly. Shrouded in shadows stands a humanoid figure. Seven feet tall with dark red skin and skeletal features. Its mouth is drawn back into a rictus exposing blackened fanged teeth. Its eyes are inky black. Blood drips from each finger in rhythmic timing. It is dressed in a long leather coat that appears to be made from tanned human flesh. When it notices your gaze fall upon it, the creature shrieks and recoils into the shadows. It hisses at you: “You are all supposed to be gone. Not this. Not now. I didn’t do anything. I guided them. You can’t punish me from that. Let me go Prince of the Earth.” “Cant you feel that? We have to go. Now. Its coming.” As if on cue the lights seem to dim. The air grows cold and stale. You can see your breath and the hair on the back of your neck stands up. Something is very very wrong.
I’m going to step closer to him and say in an angry voice. “WHAT ARE YOU BRINGING FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL ONTO TO MY WORLD?!!” “I will not let you go, depending on your actions, you may die, And what would happen if all of my kind where gone?” (I figure that what ever it is he is bringing Its going to find me one way or another, So I would like to see what it is, so I have the upper hand by evading in my surrounds if needed and knowing what I’m fighting)

“I didn’t bring anything here. YOU did. Can’t you feel it?? We have to leave. Death is coming for us.”
(Essence rolls – 2, 5, 9, 2, 10, 7, 2, 6, and 6) Im going to try and attempt to sence what he is talking about. Also im going to say back to this “Thing” “Can anyone really ever escape from death?” “From what I’ve seen he always hunts his victoms down, but maybe an escape would buy us some time to regroup and plan for the situation that is arrising at hand.”
You feel darkness grip the core of your soul. The lights flicker and fade away. The air takes on a winter chill. The shadows seem to lengthen and whisper in your ear. “no hope” “no escape” “forsaken”. The creature before you shrinks into himself. He speaks in a whimper: “Golden one, release me and I swear I will explain everything” instinctively you grab the creatures arm. Golden light bursts from you as you speak the words"So be it". The light of your anima swirls and form strange symbols before fading away. The light dies as black lightning fills the room. Time stands still as you exhale one last chilled breath. The room explodes and your vision goes black. You feel yourself break through the wall behind you. You hear the sound of your body hitting the wet pavement of the street. In the wreckage of the house a giant black skull roars in defiance. Then you black out.
Oh wow =P good times. ahhahahahahh humm… What happens when I snap out of it?
You awaken to the sounds of birds chirping. You feel the familiar warmth of the sun on your face. It seems to soothe and comfort you. You glance around to get your bearings. You are on a bed laying in what appears to be a rustic cottage. You have bandages wrapping your head and ribs but can’t find any sign of injury beneath them. To your right on a small table are all of your possessions stacked neatly in a pile. You appear to be alone.
humm.. Im going to continune to examine the roomm for a min, then ask “Hello? Is anyone here?”

“Ah, right on time.” A tall woman with dark green hair walks into the room. You instantly notice her emerald eyes and detect a faint floral scent. She has an athletic build and is quite attractive. She almost seems like she would start glowing at any moment. “I hope you slept well. You were out for almost two days. You had a couple of broken ribs and a concussion but you appear to have healed completely. Grandmother does good work. Take your time and gather your possessions. Grandmother and Master Talos are expecting you.”
I will start gathering my things and putting my belongings into my pockets, I will then turn to the green haired woman and ask them “how they found me, Also what happend to the creature that came into the world from the underworld.”

“It wasn’t hard to find you. Your little adventure destroyed one of the oldest mansions in the Bastion district. Luckily, a Black Executioner patrol was in the area and found you. Of course they brought you to us. Master Talos ordered you brought to Grandmother Alethia for treatment. As Ive said you’ve been out for nearly two days. As for the creature, she escaped into the underworld. I understand your friend Tavin has been waiting for you. Seems you made quite the impact on the creature.”
“Well buisness is buisness I guess, can you take me to Master Talos and also send my thanks to Grandmother?” “Two days is a long time to be gone in my line of work.” “Also I will have to see Tavin at some point after I meet with Master Talos.”

You are lead down a short hallway into a small den. Three large overstuffed arm chairs are arranged facing each other with a small tea table at each side. This forms a triangle pattern. Two of the chairs are occupied with the third empty with its back facing against the door. Your impression is that this room is designed to feel homely while at the same time keeping any audience member on their toes.
The two occupants smile at you warmly. The female to your left introduces herself. “Welcome Trizma. I am Doctor Alethia. Master Talos brought you to me nearly dead. I can see you are feeling better. Please have a seat. We would like to talk to you about a business proposition.” She looks to be a slightly older mirror image of the woman that escorted you from your room. She couldn’t possibly be more than 30.
In the other chair sits who you can only assume is Master Talos. He appears to be of average height. His hair is chalk white and he is dressed completely in black. He has an athletic build and you would guess him to be in his mid 30s. He is dressed head to toe in black. Black boots. Black pants. Black tunic. Black gauntlets. We smiles at you and you catch a flash of his eyes. Deep violet irises that appear to have stars scattered in them.
