(My guy is neutral...well...he just tries to destroy what he views as injustice so I guess he is against Gorges at the moment. And I'm changing Shaeage to a citadel)

Eran al Kasian looked out from the pinnacle of his citadel in the mountains. He could sense Gorges thinking of another attempt to attack Staragias. Over the past years, the Death Bringers have been working feverishly to restore the balance between the two countries. Now that he thought about it a bit, it would be better if Gorges just died. Eran altered his gaze down towards the walls that guarded his citadel, where five men with longbows were posted. Though the walls and archers were vital, they didn't protect Shaeage as much as the mountains itself. The flutter of wings disturbed his thoughts as he looked up to see a raven fly towards him with a letter attached. Eran extended his hand out and allowed the raven to land on it. He then took the letter and perused it. He folded it and sighed. Fifteen minutes later, he and about ten other Death Bringers were riding towards Longras where the Gorges were planning to attack. The numbers of Death Bringers had slightly increased to 300.

Tyhon waited until the ships were close enough for his keen eyes to make out targets, and then started firing. His arrows made streaks of gold in the air as they buzzed towards the ships, sounding like a swarm of angry bees, but the end of the buzzing was normally accompanied by either a scream or a gurgle. He could hear reinforcements coming from the city, which was a relief - the last time, the enemy troops had landed before reinforcements had arrived, and he had had some close fighting before they got driven back. He grunted as a crossbow quarrel bounced off of his dragonhide armor on his chest - even if it would stop any unenchanted weapon (unless it hit between the scales), he still felt the impact. He would likely develop a bruise there later on. "Their crossbowmen have light to see!" he shouted out in warning to the reinforcements, who were now shooting their own arrows at the ships.

Silent as wraiths, the Death Bringers rode towards Longres. Armed with crossbows, longbows, halberds, and short swords, the Death Bringers waited for Eran's orders. "Raen," ordered Eran. "Take five men and go to the ships over there. Kill everyone on board the ships and burn it. The rest of you, follow me." His orders made, the Death Bringers quickly began to follow them. Raen, who was second-in-command and brother of Eran, took his men to the docks, where they jumped into the water and began to swim towards the ships. Eran's archers, which numbered two, took out their bows and aimed for those that looked like they were leading the Gorges men.

(i edited my bio so it tells you which side shes on! Now that I look at that I'm not so tired... my cherry seems very depressing to me... oh well! And last night I watch x-men 3! Wootwoot! It was awsome! though I hate that three of the main characters died... *sigh* oh well!)

Saphire ran through the forest, a trail of destruction fallowing from her magic that she did know how to use. She stopped and clutched her head.
"Get out of my head!" she yelled. She heard voices in her head that seemed to be coming from everywere. One voice, that came the clearest, said something about the Gorges attacking Longress. Saphire gritted her teeth. A tree behind her became uprooted, flew fifty feet in the sky and fell to land inches away behind her. Another did the same thing inches infront of her.
you really should at least try to control your paowers. came a voice in her head as a black cat jumped onto the fallen tree.
"You know, people say black cats are bad luck. I'm starting to believe them!"
Some people say firey red heads are bad luck. I'm starting to believe them. came the cat's reply.
In a fury, Saphire started off tward Longress...

(the voices in her head... thats her reading peoples minds and not knowing it!)

Name: Alhmarz`Dar
Called by: Dar
Age: Unknown
Race: Ulitharid aka Mind Flayer (actually a more powerful individual that is thus far more arrogant etc)
Hair: None
Eyes: White as pearls
Other: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/lom_gallery/88147.jpg
Weapons/skills: His magic and few psionic abilities such as his normal speech as he can read peoples minds and speak without using his mouth, which would in anycase sounds rather weird with his 6 tentacles surrounding his round mouth.

Home:

None really as he was formerly a part of an ithillid community in, which every individuals final goal is to merge with the mother brain that controls the community yet Toren decided to forsake that path as he was not willing to be a part of it all. Thus he became an exile and he fled the community also because he had been able to gain magical abilities, which is against the normal mind flayer community. He is referred as Alhoon by those who even know of his excistance as that is the term for ithillids that have

Asha woke up by a lightning flash which was followed by the low rumbling of thunder. It had to be past midnight and she knew what would be happening in Longress now. She'd heard them plan the attack step for step, but there was no way for her to warn the city as she was held in this house of whic hthe magic prevented her from being able to use hers.
Quietly she fell on her knees and took a pin from her hair and started to fumble in the lock of her door. Another desperate attempt to escape.. To her suprise the door unlocked and swung open. Asha started running, hardly making a sound, as she was on bare feet. Left corridor, right hallway. The place seemed abandoned and without any trouble she reached a dark courtyard.
Would she be able to escape? As there was only one way to find out , she concentrated on the very place she wanted to be right now: her hometown Ubey.. She closed her eyes and stood perfectly stil. After a short while she felt the familiar feeling in her stomach like she was being lifted.
When she opened her eyes Asha found herself in a harbor. There was fire, shouting, crying. She could see the ships and soldiers coming from the city. Still a bit drowsy she shook her head: this was not Ubey.. she was in Longress. Only now she realised how long she hadn't used her magic anymore...

Saphire soon made it to the port, though she wasn't happy. Voices were going through her head as she looked around at all the people.
"Stop!" she yelled at the top of her lungs, and the voices were gone. She sighed in relief, her eyes going from a flaring red to a much calmer orange...

(Caunion note my post)

The tentacles around the mouth of the Ithillid tightened around the head of the gorge and finally infiltrated it`s head, feeding on the stupid humans brains Alhmarz`Dar enjoyed himself. He stood in the ship cabin, the gorges had just attacked and the captain of th ship had stayed aboard. The Gorges had taken Dar as their ally, but truth Dar was only after some information and a meal that both he had aqquired just moments ago. The stupid captain was off guard as he had actually trusted the ithillid that was only looking out for his own interest.

Dar finally pushed the limb and shocked body of the captain to the floor, his six tentacles whipped around and then calmed down falling down. They seemed to create him a beard of tentacles that way(think of Davey Jones). Dar corrected his robes and exited the cabin to the deck, he gazed around the deck and examined the attacking troops ashore as they would run into their doom. Yet Dar was not aware of the deathbringers approaching the ship....

While Eran's archers picked out captains and sergeants among the Gorges men, Raen's men reached the first boat, which happened to be the flagship. All but one of them drew their swords, the other took out his longbow. Two of them went below deck to see if anyone remained while the rest went to the captain's quarter. There they found the dead captain, the top of his head missing. Blood and what remained of a brain was left. Wondering who would that, Raen and his men went to the deck. They found a strange looking man with tentacles that made his beard. Raen's archer drew his bow and looked at Raen as if asking whether or not he should fire. Raen nodded and the archer loosed the string.

Meanwhile like ghosts, Eran and his two soldiers slipped through the ranks of Staragias and into the ranks of Gorges. They proceeded to kill the soldiers behind their back before disappearing into the shadows. Then they moved towards the ships before any of the Gorges soldiers realized the peril they were in.

Blayge scrambled up on deck, his smallish body was frighteningly wiry, and he bounced about from deck edge to deck edge, frowning deeply at the mayhem. His sharp eyes saw all the danger they were in, but his mind didn't take it all in.

"Who on bloody earth are you?!" he muttered, for the first time noticing `Dar.

*EDIT*

And then he saw the soldiers. His spry young body dodged the arrows, and running updeck, he saw the slaughter.

"Once upon a time, and not a very good time, there was a ship..." he muttered incoherently to himself. He had to get overboard, had to warn the other ship... if it wasn't too late. He dove off the edge, going down, up, down, up... much like the way a dolphin swims. He swam down more than up, fearing the elf's arrows.

Saphire ran to the shore, feeling salt water on her bare feet for what she thought was the first time. There was one power, the only power, she figured out, and that was how to levitate. She levitated to the first ship that the Staragiaes warriors hadn't reached yet, and started to get mad, and that triggered her powers. The man up by the wheel decintegrated. She took out her twin swords, and started cutting down the sailors.
"This is for my family and what you did to me!" she yelled through gritted teeth...

(i'll be eviil!)

Drizzt watched the new arrival (Dar) with great interest. Drizzt had sneaked on the ship just to get a ride to Longres.. The vampire had business there.
When he spotted the arrival he slinked into the shadows, and the shadows hid him. He cursed as he saw the deathbringers approaching.. "What have i gotten myself into this time?" he muttered to himself.

_________________

Raen was a bit disturbed at the entrance of the vampire. He gripped his sword as he watched the vampire. He had no way of communicating to Eran but could only hope that he would arrive soon.

Dar noticed the arrival of the two deathbringers and his tentacles began to squirl in excitement, he had no come across these elves yet their minds could provide him vital information that he could sell to any side that would be interested. Information reigned and that was what Dar did, he tipped sides about their enemies movements for a suitable price. He sold to all as long as they payed, no matter who he angered, and Dar might even double cross them.

As the arrow flew Dar was ready and had already cast his spell, a blueish magic shield appeared before him and stopped the arrow in the air. The arrow dropped to the floor uselessly as the words of Dar rang clear trough the minds of the deathbringers. They could not resist, no mind actually could as they would hear the speech of the ithillids in their minds due to their psionic abilities eventough dar`s were minor.

I suggest you try again elves or run for I have no love for your kin, you might have found the captain and he is just a proof of what I might do to you

Dar prepared and cast another spell towards the two, a lightning bolt charged trough the deck, sparkling as it crossed the air with a great speed, ready to shock the living hell out of the two elves.

From what Eran had discovered, Raen knew that water could increase the powers of the lightning bolt that raged towards the sky. He, along with the four men he had with him, also knew that this person had broke into their minds and would soon extract information. They all knew what to do at that moment. One of the Death Bringers took out a vial of purple powder and threw on the deck while the rest of them, including, Raen, took out a small leaf from their robes. The vial exploded upon contact with the deck, releasing a cloud of purple smoke while all of the Death Bringers on the deck ate the leaves. Within minutes, they all died from poisoning, snubbing the tentacled man's attempt to extract any information.

Eran saw the purple smoke and knew that his brother had died. He motioned his two Death Bringers and they retreated from the ships. First his wife, then his brother. How many more people had to die before the world Eran envisioned would become reality.

Once Saphire finnished off all the sailors on the ship she was on, she collapsed onto the ground, not caring that she now lay in a puddle of blood. She was worn out, either by the uncontrolable magic, or the sword fighing, she didn't know. Breathing heavely, she stood up shakely, and skanned the water around the ship. A couple dead bodies could be seen. Before she was totured she would have been sick to her stomach, but now she was used to death, because that was what happened to the people who came near her because of this magic.

Saphire ran to the bow when she saw lighning at another ship. She couldn't see clearly what was going on because of the mast, so she levitated over to the ship, and hid behind the stearing wheel and watched...
