Guild:Kittens With Claws/Spectral Delights

History
Not far from Lions Arch the full moon lit the contryside leaving errie shadows from the twisted trees. Angelica looked at her team Dash Nighthawk, Errica Storm, and Goth Vampiress with determination. "Are you ready?" she asked glancing at the old stone keep. Dash put away his bow and pulled out his icy Morrob Axe, "This should do the trick he smiled confidently. "Don't be so sure", her eyes narrowed.  "Alusha said that no one will make it out of here."

The group entered the gothic house with care, the air was musty and chilled from the autumn night. As they stepped into the foyer the door slammed shut. Angelica tired to open it, but it was sealed tight my a magic bond. "Abaddon's touch!", she cursed. "It is being held on the other side by a binding ghost. Vamp drain it." Goth Vampiress cast though the door to the unseen spirit and started to pull away its helath, but after a few moments she looked weary, "It is being healed or protected. We are wasting out resources on it instead of what we came here for." She was right; this ghost was merely a distraction.

Angelica started to lead the group deeper into the keep, through some twistly halls and corridors. As they passed an inset panel Vampiress grabbed Dash into a dark corner and pressed her lips to his. "Mmmm.." she started draining off some of his energy recovering what she lost while casting before. "That was nice", she cooed. Pressing her soft lips to his again she took more of his life force and leaving him quite weak and confused. "Why don't we find a nice cozy room upstairs and let the others finish this silly quest", she suggested pressing her body up against his. Dash had to fight off the suggestion, she was very seductive but something was wrong with the idea. As Vampiress moved her lushes lips to his again Dash turn his head trying to resist her amorous advances. He was losing the battle. "The other? where did they go?", he said not seeing not hearing any trace of them till out of the darkened came a screaming apparition!

“Did you hear that”, asked Angelica as she and Errica entered huge library filled with dozens of dusty books. "We lost Dash and Vamp", Errica whispered. "Abaddon!", Angelica cursed, but it was not for the missing party but the sight of three ghosts that formed behind them cutting them off from the way they entered. Errica sprang into action but her axe merely passed through them. Angelica started to cast but was disrupted by one spirit while the other two spirits sent a chilling draining thought them, stealing there life force. "Get out", Angelica shouted. Cutting across the library they fond another door leading to a dining area. Slamming the door did not help as the pursuing spirits sent another wave of horrid draining through the door.

As they crossed the room 2 more spirits blocked their way, but this time Angelica was ready and generated enough adrenaline to send them into the nether with her Holy Spear. The ghosts from the library pass through the door in pursuit and doubled in number. Fleeting to the next room they found themselves in the kitchen. An eerie light emulated from the room as they saw spectral images of all the dead animals that must have been served here. Floating pots and pans danced above them in a whirling pattern across the full length of the kitchen. Knives from a rack shot at them sticking into the wall inches from there face. As they tried to run though their legs turned to rubber as a sprit in a dark corner hexed them. It felt like their legs were weighed down with stones, as pots and pans now rained down upon them from the ceiling in a loud clatter. They struggled with all their might to get out of the room knowing that they were being pursued.

Dash and Vampiress were not fairing any better. Dash was weak from Vamp's amorous attentions, and now were running for the live from a nightmare ghost. Dash's axe was useless as he desperately tried to reunite the party.

As luck would have it they found each other in the grand ball room. "Angelica!", Dash called as he saw her at the other end. "Finally a stroke of luck to find you", he panted out of breath. "I am not sure about that", Vampiress said coldly. "We did not find them, we were herded here!"

All the door slammed shut with a green glow emitting from around the edges. “I do not like the look of this”, Errica commented. “And we do?”, Dash blurted out. “Calm down both of you”, Angelica Scolded. “If we do not work as a team the end will be nigh.”

Spirits formed around them taking ghastly forms. Errica went at them with full force, but her axe passed through doing trivial damage. Vampiress set up a well of protection, and started to drain them 1 at time. As Angelica's battle fury built she mowed down spirit after spirit with her Holy Spear.

As Vampiress ran though her energy she could not longer hold up the well nor drain the oncoming spirits. Angeliica could not take them all by herself and switched to protect the group from the horrid draining of the encircling ghosts.

"There are too many of them", Errica cried. All four heroes where in the center of the room now filled with hungry spirits that seemed to be growing in number. Angelicas' protections started to fail as she depleted her energy.

Helplessly the group watched in horror as a painful bonder and Vampiress spirit formed. They were doomed! As the spirits closed in for the kill Angelica call out, "OK. OK. We give up." With those words the spirits disappeared and tiny flickers of flame lit the room revealing Alusha Siren standing next to a table of fine food and drink.

The group smiled waking towards her and Angelica laughed saying. "No one puts on a party like you do Alusha." "Best Mad King Thorn partly I have ever seen", added Errica. "It was so much fun to watch you squirm from the hidden passages", giggled Alusha. "But let me bring in the guest of honor. I am pleased to introduce you to Spectral Delight. She provided all the ghosts for the evening. Spectral enter in a Raiment of the Lich costume, and walked up to Angelica saying, "I was so delighted to be invited to such a prestigious guild. Please tell me all about your battle to Droks. The story is famous."

After a long evening of Halloween celebrations Alusha turned to Spectral Delight and said, “Even though this was all in fun after seeing you work, I am glad you are on our side."
