The Wicked Ring of the Republic of Fwuvoghor

After a long journey, Ariana arrived at Askileon, bringing the Wicked Ring of the Republic of Fwuvoghor in a small purse, close to her body. She did not knew the new people that was hunting near her and learned to not trust anyone since her father left to some distant island and never more send any message.

"I need to rest, and take a shower before meeting Lord Cicero. He seems to be a good man and this gold will help me to improve my abilities. Perhaps one day I will be so good as my aunt, Ayrin."

Ariana wander if her name was some kind of tribute to her aunt, who never happen to see her, not even as a baby. Her father did not have much time to stay with her and so, did not know how much she looked like him with her long, black hair and her deep, black eyes. Her eybrow were so thick that gave her a angry appearance. This was a good thing when fighting monsters. They seemed to be afraid of her just at first sight.

The Emerald Bathrobe of Piety

Letter from Sholan A'Valti Ranger Ariana,

I have had my prized Emerald Bathrobe sent your way. If you could have it repaired for me, I would be quite grateful. It is an atrocious thing to wear into battle, but it entertains me to do so when your enemy is quite visibly shocked to see you do so. Faithfully,

Sholan A'Valti Suzerain Emperor of Luria Nova Royal of Luria Nova Duke of Sky Hall Margrave of Giask

Ariana took the robe carefully in his hands, thinking how strange it would be to see a king wearing a bathrobe in a battle. "Well, Kings are always very strange people," she whispered to herself. She put the piece into his bag and walked the long road seeking a sage. Hearing rumors, she went to Dantooine but on the way, in Nid Tek, she found a wise man who promised to restore the delicate piece. She gave all that he asked but he left quickly with all the items and no improvement.

Ariana thought she was lucky to still have the robe.

Continuing the journey to Dantooine, she found only traces of the sage ...

Waking up early, she prepared to travel to Lupa Lapu where other magician had been sighted, when she saw a strange figure walking in circles as if lost. It was a wise man, a strangerone called Kalas, the grim.

Ariana approached cautiously the magician and asked if he could repair the robe. He looked the piece, and said he could not fix, but that he could improve it by 64 golds and some items. She gave him gold, not without fear, and the items he asked.

The sage went behind some bushes and a loud noise could be heard from there. Suddenly, an explosion and a flash illuminated the still dark day. A fire appeared behind the bushes and Ariana started running.

"He will burn the robe and Sholan will kill me."

Before she could reach the fire, the fire vanished, just like that started. It was a magical fire.

The magician gave the rope back to the woman and quickly packing his belongings, he vanished into thin air. Ariana took the robe, looked carefully and saw that now it has a thousand colors that shine when handled. It seemed that she was earning magic power when dressed. Whirling, she pretended to be a fairy and pointed to a frog, ordering him to jump without stopping. The frog started jumping with the spell and frightened, she quickly took off the robe, wrapped well and tucked it deep in the bag. Spell casting was not for anyone, especially her.

After a few days searching sages, Ariana found two at same time at Shomrack. How happy she was to see them both wandering nearby. Taking the bathrobe from her bagpack, she asked the first, Perbroth, the sinister, if he could repair it. The wise man took the robe and asked for oaks and feathers and came back with the robe restored, almost as good as new. Ariana danced with the piece of cloth in her hand and went to the second one.

"Good Sir, can you please try to fix this for me?"

The sage, T'sker'ch Ach'tzalik, took some Thief's Hand and vanishes into his workshop, or whatever it is he was hiding back there. After a while, he emerged and announced that the Emerald Bathrobe of Piety had been improved. The skill bonus to Spellcasting has been raised by 4 % to a total of 10 %. The sage leaves while Ariana was still shuffling around in her belongings. She also felt strangely tired.

Another day in Ariana´s life

Tired of fighting, tired of running after - and from - the beasts, Ariana decided to travel to some far place. Perhaps she could meet that Dame Luarin that was a cousin of Mattias.

At Palm Sea she met a sage, Ildnbel that was known as a lazy wise man.

Hello Sir, she said. Are you willing to try something different today? she asked, not knowing if she could speak to him like tha, but really, not caring that much about that.

The wise man answered in a very weird accent, making it hard for the woman to understand all words. She could deduce from what she heard that he could make an item with some special ingredients and hand her a list with these items on it:

Dragon's Tooth, Rusty Signet Ring, Broken Sword

He also said that at this time, considering the season, the stars and some other mystic things, the chance of successfully creating a unique item was almost hopeless.

Ariana gave him what he asked and sit in a rock staring at him.

The sage took the items and tinkers with them for an hour or so, coming back with a destroyed broken sword and... nothing else.

A new and unique item

After being running from region to region, Ariana finally found a alpha leader, a big and awful monster, with disgusting theeths and a awesome blade, the "Cold-Forged Nightblade".

Chasing emotions, a new and shiny Sapphire Ring appeared to Ariana while investigating the monster situation in Outer Giask.

The effort gave some results

Ariana was at Girich were some unique was lost, trying to find it. She stay there for a few days digging and running around, trying to escape the huge hordes destroying everything. Wherever she looked there were a group of monsters or undeads beyond her abilities. During her investigations, she also find herself unbelievably lucky, or maybe was just fate that make her found the Splendid Cane, a unique and legendary item (Weapon, +6 prestige).

Another day hunting

While chasing in Cadier, Ariana fought a alpha, a big one, being defeated and forced to hide to heal the wounds before going after it again. It, not a him, or she. It was a ugly, huge, big, nasty one but she needed to kill it before a destruction happen. While hidding, she saw a sign, hidden behind some bushes:

"The Angels of Ulrith give stregth to the God of Man, Ulrith, who is imprisoned in the Netherworld. Once enough followers praise his name, Ulrith will have the strength to tear free from his bondage at the hands of the Daimons, return to Dwilight, and cast out the dark and evil forces which plague the continent."

Ariana remember to hear some stories about the Overlord and the Netherworld but this? Althou very curious, she did not find the courage to enter the place...

The Whispering Scythe and the Whispering Trumpet

The night was coming and Ariana could not see the ground anymore. Better stop and rest a while after that long way searching for a Sage. It was worth it. Both uniques where fully restored in her bagpack.

"Now its time to give the Whispering Scythe back to whom it belongs and I believe that Lady Tyra Andrasta is that person" said Ariana to herself, looking one more time to that awesome piece that was one more time shinning. It was not the first, nor even the second time that Ariana has it on her hands. Lord Cador used to ask her to repair it a few times and she lost it once in a battle with undeads. Fortunatelly they dropped it at same region and she was lucky to find it before any other person.
