=== Timed events === {{TEheader}} {{TErow| 1 |Day 1|We had marched across the barren [[Fiery Moon]] to this remote place with [[Skizzik]] as our guide, ready to do battle with [[Vorr]]. Or so we thought.<p>This time, [[Vorr]] came to us, and he threw everything he had at us. His magic was incredible! [[Fireball]]s and [[Chain Lightning]] decimated much of my troops in the opening minutes of the battle. I tried to climb over the bodies of my men to reach my enemy, but I paused when one of my hands fell across the dead face of the shaman, [[Wern]].<p>[[Grumba]] fell right before my eyes, consumed in a blaze hot enough to melt steel. Soon after, the fires reach me as well.<p>We lost!<p>When I woke, most of the clothes and armor had been burned from my body. I should be dead, like much of my army. I managed to find a few stragglers who fled the disastrous battle. We lost our friends, our brothers, everything, and still we had to stop [[Vorr]].<p>But now, I want [[Vorr]] dead!}} {{TErow| 3 |Day 3|At least my small group weren't the only survivors. A couple of my Captains have managed to pull together some stragglers as well, although they're scattered about. At least I have a town where I can rebuild my army.<p>Unfortunately, [[Skizzik]] is among the missing, those believed to have been so badly burned by [[Vorr]]'s magic that there wasn't enough left of them to identify. What a disaster!<p>But this time, I will be ready for [[Vorr]]. I will not lose again!}} {{TErow| 7 |Day 7|I entered my tent last night to find a pair of glowing figures - the [[Ancestors]].<p>"What do you want?" I said sharply. It was about time they showed.<p>"We've brought you more sap from the [[World Tree]]," said one of the [[Ancestors]]. I followed their eyes to the table where I ate - resting on it was a bottle of the glowing sap.<p>"We miscalculated [[Vorr]]'s power," they said in unison. Was that their apology?<p>"Me too, but that won't happen again," I said.<p>"Also, [[Tarnum]], we've come to tell you to seek the [[Hut of the Magi]]. He will show you a place with several treasures that might help you in your battle with [[Vorr]]."<p>After a few moments of silence and suspicious stares from the [[Ancestors]], they vanished.}} {{TErow| 12 |Day 12|This morning, I woke to find one of the [[Ancestors]] standing over me with a concerned expression. Slowly, he reached out his hand and produced the bottle of sap from the [[World Tree]].<p>"Why did you leave this behind?" he asked.<p>"Because I won't be needing it," I said. As long as I was awake, I might as well get a couple extra hours of sword practice. I reached for my blade.<p>"No, [[Tarnum]], you must not!" the [[Ancestor]] said.<p>I belted the sword around my waist, not bothering to put on my tunic. It was hot at all hours of the day here on the [[Fiery Moon]].<p>"I tried it your way," I said firmly. "Now, [[Vorr]] must die before he turns my world into a copy of this cursed place!"<p>I stormed from the tent.}} {{TErow| 13 |Day 13|The [[Ancestors]] visited me in a dream last night, bringing the sap from the [[World Tree]] again.<p>"Throw that away! If you want to help me, join me. Show me your [[Barbarian]] blood and fight!" I begged them.<p>"We realize [[Vorr]]'s power is great, [[Tarnum]], but we cannot use our powers against our brother! Nor can you kill him," they said.<p>"Watch me!" I growled through clenched teeth.<p>"No!"<p>"But look at what he's done! He killed [[Grumba]], and [[Wern]], and my men! He's killed so many. He's tried to destroy the world. I didn't even try to do that!"<p>"You must not kill [[Vorr]]," they insisted, but they refused to explain further. "Defeat him, [[Tarnum]], and give him the sap from the [[World Tree]]. If you kill him, you will forever be cast into Oblivion! Your torment will be as legendary as your misdeeds."<p>"What use is the sap? He's insane! [[Vorr]] lives only to destroy!"<p>The [[Ancestors]] were silent for a long time.<p>"At one time, [[Tarnum]], you lived only to destroy," they said. The [[Ancestors]] vanished, and when I woke the sap from the [[World Tree]] was in my hands.<p>But they still can't make me use it. Perhaps it's time for things to end. The violence never stops, and I'm beginning to wonder if it ever will as long as I still live.}} {{TErow| 27 |Day 27|Lately, I've been meeting with [[Skizzik]] each night after which pitch camp as if he were my second-in-command. I guess, in a way he is. The way the [[Familiar]] has been bossing everyone around, [[Skizzik]] sure thinks he's in command.<p>Unfortunately, [[Skizzik]] hasn't been able to help me solve my dilemma over the [[World Tree]]'s sap.<p>"Just cut his head off!" [[Skizzik]] roared. "That's what we [[Barbarian]]s do best!"<p>Was it? Is that all we are, all we ever will be? Did my hatred and rage taint the [[Barbarian]] bloodline forever?<p>I pick up the bottle of sap and shake my head. How is this vial going to change things one way or the other? Dead or alive, [[Vorr]] isn't going to change the [[Barbarian]] people.}} {{TErow| 33 |Day 33|Last night, I saw [[Vorr]] in my dreams.<p>At first, I thought it was the [[Ancestors]] visiting me again, but then I saw [[Vorr]]'s cruel eyes. He reached out and grabbed my by the throat, crushing my neck until I heard the bones crunching together.<p>"Why do you fight me, [[Tarnum]]?" [[Vorr]] said. "Don't you remember what it felt like to have this kind of power? Don't you miss it? There was a time when a single gesture from you would take a man's life. Now, that's a power even the [[Ancestors]] don't have!"<p>"And where did it get me?" I said.<p>"I can give you that power again. Think about it! Join me and you will live forever. Nothing can stand in our way," [[Vorr]] said.<p>"Just...one...thing."<p>[[Vorr]] paused, softening his grip slightly. I could tell he was afraid he had missed something. So, he wasn't completely confident of his victory. That was a good sign at least.<p>"What?" [[Vorr]] asked.<p>"Me!" I snapped. "I'm going to kill you!"<p>"Kill me and you'll be killing yourself!"<p>But I woke up gasping for air. I had nearly choked to death in my sleep.<p>Once I recovered, I came to my feet and whispered, "Yes, I know. I'll be killing myself."}} {{TErow| 37 |Day 37|As if they knew I wanted to speak to them, the [[Ancestors]] appeared in my tent this morning shortly after I woke. I still didn't feel much like talking, so I immediately asked them the question that was on my mind.<p>"Will I die if I kill [[Vorr]]?"<p>"Yes," the [[Ancestors]] said.<p>It made sense now. Not too long ago, I began aging quickly as if my body was trying to make up for lost time. After I rescued the [[Ancestors]] from their prison, I returned to normal even though the [[Ancestors]] appeared weak from months of magical torture.<p>Somehow, my immortality was linked with the [[Ancestors]] - all three of them. So, if [[Vorr]] were destroyed I would die as well.<p>"Don't you see now? Not only that, but if [[Vorr]] dies so do we!" the [[Ancestors]] said.<p>I nodded and said softly, "Maybe the time of the [[Barbarian]] has come and gone."}} {{TErow| 44 |loc={{tan}}|Day 44|What luck!<p>The people who used to live on this planet before it became the [[Fiery Moon]] are still fighting their war against the [[Demon]]s. Today, while scouting the flanks for any signs of ambush, [[Skizzik]] discovered a concealed cave. Inside, he found sacks of dried food as well as other resources and Gold.<p>This discovery couldn't have come at a better time.|effect=+15 {{w}} [[Wood]], +4 {{m}} [[Mercury]], +11 {{o}} [[Ore]], +7 {{s}} [[Sulfur]], +5 {{c}} [[Crystal]]s, +4 {{gem}} [[Gems]], +6470 {{g}} [[Gold]]}} |}
