| Leeches! |
Hail my friends, and welcome to the wonderful, dangerous world of Shadowbane! This land has shown great promise as a home to my first love: loot.
Many a weary traveler throughout these lands have pressed on past the point of exhaustion to gain power and fortune in these lands. These poor individuals have grown so tired they fall asleep during the heat of battle! "I don't believe it!" you may exclaim, but I have proof, you see. For years myself and Regulus have attempted to erradicate a growing plague throughout the lands of Sosaria. Tis a dark day, indeed, for this sickness has traveled to Aerynth as well!
Harendiel informed me of a group of adventurers that were killing creatures far above my power level, of which he was a part. Intrigued and quite vulnerable on my own, I decided to join their group to gain the honor and trophies of such powerful creatures. After a few hours of destruction and murder, I was feeling quite good about myself and my purse weighed heavy with loot. We decided to move on to less powerful creatures, since it took far too long to kill these fearsome beasts.
 |
| Tip: Do not fall asleep! |
Harendiel, our fearless leader, led us to a location of Irekei fighters and mages. Here we found a great deal of treasure and fame! With some help from our fearless leader, I was dubbed "Head Looter" and worked my hardest to not let such an awe inspiring title down. Everyone in the group rejoiced when a magical item was found for us to divy up! Nevermind that for each of those, four more were going into mine and Harendiel's private collection.
Sensing that some in the group were not pulling their weight, we decided to regroup and see who had fallen asleep at their post. Sure enough someone had exhausted themselves and fainted! Calandryll the Centaur did not move an inch from his position. We decided to just fight around him and not split our treasure or our glory.
Eventually my purse became so overburdened that I was forced to leave. While banking the loot, I met up with another member and brought them out to our festival of carnage. He considered himself a looter as well, but the other members of the group asked him to leave it to the professionals. Only at their behest did I continue my services, har har har!

| Is it Calandryll of UO? |
Inevitably, every group must disband. Our group was no different. Harendiel wished for sleep as did a few others. They each left one by one until six of us remained. It seemed that another had fallen victim to this sleeping sickness, but we did not catch it in time to reform our group. That scoundrel, Xanthor Blackfeather had amassed quite a sum and done nothing for it! As the new party leader I disbanded the group and bid them all farewell. I picked a direction and ran until I could no longer see them on the horizon.
For a moment, rage filled me, and I knew what I must do. I contacted Harendiel and he remained on standby in case I was not successful in my mission. I must kill these two infected individuals for the good of the land!
When I was sure our former group had left, I made my way to our previous hunting ground. There sat Calandryll and Xanthor, eyes glazed over and motionless. I called forth the destructive powers of magic and began to lay waste to the horse-creature!

| It's all about the loot. |
As the last bit of my energy was exhausted, the mighty beast fell with a tremendous thud. I quickly moved in for the loot, hoping I had not awakened the slumbering Xanthor. After relieving the corpse of such unneccessary trinkets, I retreated and collected my thoughts for a moment.
I returned a few moments later to see Xanthor in the same vulnerable position as before.
Rage, again consumed me as I launched my destructive arsenal.
After much less effort, he too painted the sand with his lifeblood.
After two kills, such as these, I was quite overburdoned. With Harendiel's help, I was able to loot the bodies clean after only two trips.
I claim this loot in the name of the Shadow Alliance!
Neutrality Uber Alles!
All for Loot, and Loot for all!
