Kira stands tall and strong but without aggression, "My name is Kira," he starts in a level voice, "I have come a great distance to this planet on a quest of a semi personal nature. My home planet is under the threat of an immediate attack of extra-dimensional evil forces and I have been injured in a way that is difficult to heal, I have been told that One Colonel Solomon Gunn has the material that I need in order to mend my injury, and that he is on Thantum VI in the Anvil Galaxy. I was unaware of the political situation of this area before I arrived and assure you that I have no political affiliations that are relevant to your conflict. Could you at least tell me if I am on the right planet?"

The Wolfen nods to one of the men near him after having been told something. "I am Colonel Solomon Gunn. As for political affiliations, that will be determined in time. But suffice to say that you are on the right planet, and in the correct galaxy. If you want something from me, then you are going to have to provide either goods, or services in return. I am a mercenary after all, and I will not just give things away, I do have a reputation to uphold. Tell me what your abilities are, and we will see about a straight trade. You help me win this conflict and I will provide you with what I have".

Kira grins, this might be fun after all. "I am a human, though you could hardly call me one anymore. On my home planet I was known as a psy slayer, a powerful psychic with abilities well suited to solo hunting and killing operations. As such I myself have been a mercenary in the past as well. At this point those abilities have faded but still remain in a basic state due to unfortunate circumstances, but I have obtained other gifts in exchange." Kira changes his appearance to that of 3-4 different ethnicities, "I'm also fairly durable and unrealistically intelligent, to put it mildly.

"What I seek from you is a rare mineral needed to repair a stone of supernatural origin. A woman known as the artificer told me that she required it in order to fulfill my request. She also told me that you have it and where to find you."

Solomon nods going over maps and recon reports as Kira talks. "I know about Psi-Slayers, I have two in my army right now. However both of them are indisposed with other missions, and they don't have your particular talents. I have need of someone killed, someone that may prove useful to us both dead. How long has it been since you last fed? You are starting to look a bit peckish. The leader of this opposing army is a water Warlock. He is sitting in the middle of a lake, really a small sea, and any time I try to get close the whole body of water rises up with elementals and such and I get driven back. I was about to resort to the use of tactical weapons. You get in there, kill him, bring him out alive, doesn't matter. I will provide the substance you need, as well as enough money to keep you in business for some time."

The psi-slayer smiles, "just give me my equipment back, provide any intel that might be useful, and point me in the right direction. Soon, you will have one less warlock to worry about."

Solomon nods to his men who hand over everything they took from Kira. The Colonel hands Kira a map of the area with the various approaches that have been tried. At the center of the map is a massive island, about half the size of North America. Sitting on the coast of that island is the only inhabited city. "The city is where the Warlock is. Do you need anything else from us"?

"I need a cover story for why I should be allowed into this place. You have them under siege, which means there are probably supplies that they need. You load me up in a vehicle filled with those supplies and make it look like I somehow snuck past your siege lines, even if they don't trust me they will want to take me alive for the sake of the supplies. Then I'm in. Give me info on sympathizers so I can play the role and do anything you can to make it look like I'm not associated with you at all."

"We will move you to the town not far behind the lines and you can pick up some medical supplies, food and basic goods. Once there we will treat you as a potential combatant. When you begin your run to the island, we will be fireing at you with live ammo, while we won't be activly trying to hit you, it may happen so stay on your toes".

The plan sounds as good as it is going to get to Kira. He takes the time to load up with everything he can and signals, then starts the run.

The trip starts out normally. When you get about 10km out into the sea around the island, the Colonel's army opens up. Medium Range missiles, Short range missiles and anti-aircraft flack cannons open up.

(Two Piloting rolls @ -10% to make it out of range of most of it, plus 3 dodge rolls, 12 or better to not get hit)

Pilot: APC (74%-10%) - 1d100=99, 1d100=47 = 1 fail!

Dodge: 1d20+7=27, 1d20+7=26, 1d20+7=12 = All passed.

Kira, the trip is probably the scariest thing you have ever done. Missiles, flack and some other things that are best left not thinking about explode around the RV. You finally make it to the island and you can not only feel a nexus, but see it as well. Also standing in the bay of the city is a massive colossus. It is the Legendary Colossus of Rhodes. Around the whole statue Kira can see a mist circling it. (Lore: Demons & Monsters) As Kira draws close he is radioed to set down on dock 76 and to prepare himself for a search.

Lore demons and monsters (74%): 1d100=54, pass

Kira acknowledges the instruction and touches down, powering down the vehicle and following any directions he is given to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

1: The mist around the colossus is the presence of ten Major Water Elementals.

2: Kira is met at the dock by a dozen soldiers, who search not only not only his person but the RV as well. When It is found all he has are supplies the captain asks why he is there, and what price he is asking for the supplies.

Kira waits silently while the soldiers check everything over. When the captain finally addresses him he replies, "I am an assassin sent by Colonel Solomon Grunn in order to kill the warlock in charge of the forces on this island. The medical supplies were a cover and them firing at me was a ruse in order to help me gain your trust. Now that I am here I have an alternate proposal that could help win you this war and end the siege within a matter of days. I need to speak with your master. Enjoy the supplies."

As Kira mentions he is an assassin sent to kill their leader, all the soldiers raise their weapons. "Aha. Well, come right with me then proclaimed assassin, let me take you to our leader, I am sure that you aren't telling a lie, I know these things. Right.. lock him up. I am sure that one of the Elementals will be more then neutral when it comes to drowning him". Kira is handcuffed, shackled and led to a nearby cell that sits partway in the bay. The water is quite cold and the water seems to be somewhat alive.

"You know these things, do you?" Kira laughs at the guard's apparent ineptitude, "I am sure you are a credit to your master and serve him well." He goes along without fighting.

In the cell Kira sits indifferently observing his surroundings for a few moments, well, I could have and still may help them. Or I may bring back his head, either way works. I may have to test the limits of my immortality before then. This should prove interesting, if not all together unpleasant... Uneasy at the thought of drowning Kira concentrates for a moment and activates suppress fear, he then activates all of his psionic sensitive abilities to determine exactly what the possibilities are in this situation (detect psionics, sense magic, sixth sense, see aura). He plays with the water, "so you are going to kill me, are you? It has been a long time since I've seen a water elemental. if you are going to kill me, you might as well get it over with."

All around Kira is the sound of gurgling water flowing over rocks and through crevices. From what Kira knows, it is the sound of Elemental speaking. What it is saying however, he can't fathom. Then a face forms. It looks pained, tortured even. Tentacles raise from the water and begin to form signs. "The Master has broken the contract of Peace and Harmony that all Brothers live by. We are unable to act against him. Follow the current and we shall do what we can to lead you to conclude your task".

Should Kira do as the Elemental suggests then he is led underwater to a cavern that seems to have been formed by the current of water that leads into the city, and under a building.

Kira follows along, even helped by the water his lungs are burning beyond anything he can remember experiencing by the time he emerges gasping for air.

Two things strike Kira when he rises from the water. The first is that it is dark. The second is that he isn't alone. A few torches sputter and spit revealing and concealing in alternating fashion a beautiful man. His hair is long and dark, well groomed. His features are marble like, bearing the features and stature of one of noble birth. He is watching as Kira gets out of the water. Then Kira is struck by a third thing.. the man is a well spring of Energy. Copious amounts of energy. Not since seeing a Dragon or maybe a powerful Intelligence has Kira been in the presence of this much power. "Welcome".

Kira heaves a few heavy breaths before he can regain his composure, or what would be left of it were he not soaking wet, well that was less than fun.... To the man's one word phrase Kira responds, "why thank you, you are very accommodating. Are you are the warlock who runs this place? I'm a little wet and hungry, I don't suppose you would have a towel or food on hand? I did bring you all those supplies."

Kira activates see aura (6)

*note* Kira has sixth sense.

"I am not the Warlock. I am the one who subverted him to break the bond promise to the Elementals, so that this war could happen. So far everything is going as planned, including your arrival. Now, once you are dry, I will lead you to a place where you can do what you came here to do".

Kira dries off as best he can, "I don't suppose you brought me my weapon? I figure it may be helpful in carrying out my mission. What's in this for you?"

The man smiles, Kira can easily make out two very prominent canine teeth as he hands over the dagger Kira had been carrying. "What is in this for me, is a bigger challenge. I like to finish things before I go off to do other things. There are events transpiring elsewhere I would like to be part of, and while this issue remains at large, I can not",

Kira retrieves his dagger, "I can think of a challenge or two elsewhere that may be bigger than this. I'll help you now," as it seems the only feasible course of action at this point in time..., "and we can discuss 'challenges' later if you are interested. Perhaps in time I may find your particular skills useful."
