So I’ve thought through how exactly we can keep the Book of Seraphim from falling off the face of the forums, and I’ve decided I’ll pop it all into a blog, as I make my random updates to it.
BTW, I’ll probably have each update be for individual attempts, rather than trying to cover multiple attempts per update. So I will be following down the list of attempts.
Meaning, the more often we attempt, the more often I have to write, to prevent myself from falling too far behind.
Speaking of which, it must be about time for the next teaser.
Oh, and ballababy, what is your character name and class?

FIRST DEATH"ADVANCE!"
Michael’s command cut through the sounds of battle like a scythe.
The Angels had been fighting the demons for less than a day now, yet already they had struck fear into the hearts of the enemy.
It was a strange world they fought in, and the rules were truly alien to them.
To survive, they found the must use great weapons, armors and charms of wondrous enchantment, and focus all their skills upon their chosen course of destruction.
The battle had raged fierce throughout the day, and there seemed to be no rest in sight. But the Angels were not discouraged, for they knew a sense of purpose seldom seen in this world, and fought for a cause which was worthy.
Michael, spraying molten fire around him in a blazing fury of death, suddenly looked up, and paused in shock. Coming down out of the heavens was a dragon!
This was no ordinary dragon, however. It was one of the ancient fell beasts of lore, it’s body three hundred feet long, with a wing span of over one thousand feet. Body the murky black color of dried blood, it spewed fire and acid upon both it’s own allies, and the Angels who were destroying them.
Paralyzed with fascination, Michael watched as the dragon swooped down, presumably to remove his head from his shoulders with it’s great polearm-sized talons.
Suddenly, from behind and to the right of him, a great blast of arctic ice rushes toward the great dragon. Bellowing in rage, the dragon scoops down towards its attacker.
Lucifer!
With a cruel grin, Lucifer blasts another jet of Ice at the great beast, simultaneously calling down a great blizzard, shattering all the more common beasts nearby.
Screaming in fury, the dragon rushes toward the overconfident angel, and a piercing whistle deafens the battlefield at the speed of its descent. Just as it reaches Lucifer, it lashes with its great tail, driving the great spikes into the Angel’s chest, and hurling him a thousand feet into the air, only to fall, broken, deformed, at the feet of a horrified Michael.
Roaring in triumph, the great beast flies back the way it came, bellowing out warning gusts of flame at all would-be heroes who try to bar its path.
Staring down at his brother in Shock, Michael watches as Lucifer lets out one agonized moan, then inhales his last breath. As his eyes glaze over, Lucifer begins to fade…
Standing over the spot where his brother, the Arch-Angel Lucifer, had died, Michael suddenly knew fear, for the first time in his existence. He could die here!
Then a hand came to rest on his shoulder.
Spinning around, ready to blast whomever was restraining him, Michael found another shock…
It was Lucifer! Naked, tired, and without the great amounts of power emanating as before, he appeared as he was when they first projected themselves into this world. But oh so tired, with the echoes of the pain he had endured fighting the dragon still in his eyes…Sitting around the Campfire, with the wards to protect them from any unexpected onslaughts from the hoards of enemies just outside the firelight, the Seraphim lean forward to hear Lucifer tell what happened, enrapt by the knowledge they could now die…
“I saw the dragon going towards Michael, and it was a simple reaction. I had not yet faced anything that could do me true harm, and had great power to back me in my attack. I did not see any reason why this dragon shouldn’t fall, just as it’s smaller cousins.”
“When it pierced me with the spikes on it’s tail… The pain was indescribable. I could no longer breathe easily, it felt like something, or many somethings were broken, even thought was difficult. Then when it threw me up, and I landed hard on the ground…”
“The pain faded fast though, and it was as though I saw everything through a narrowing tunnel, then all was black. The power spoke to me then. He told me that all was well, and he was proud of our efforts, and the energies he had set in place for us to enter this world would ensure that we would never truly die.”
“Then I was back. I had lost all of the skills and powers that I had gained through my journey to the top levels of power, though I remembered certainly how to attain them again.”
“Oh, and before I should forget, the power told me it was a Master of this realm that I fought. This is our quest, to hunt down and destroy all these masters. For should all the great Masters of this world be defeated, this world will be cleansed of its evil, and we can go forth into the next world, and clean it as well.”
Intrigued, Michael asked, “And what would happen should we defeat one of these masters, and how many of these masters are there?”
“Should a master be defeated, you will gain another level of knowledge and ability. There are 8 levels of ability. Should you unlock them all, and defeat but one more master, then the secret of how to clear the world of all the rest of the masters, and the minions who serve them will come to you.”
All the Angels fell silent, pondering this intriguing thought, planning how they would go about their mission of clearing these worlds of evil… This post was edited by InsaneBobb on Jul 8 2007 02:19pm
