"Put that down, Mr. Eric." He said. "She's obviously not a chicken."

Clive gritted his teeth in disgust at that...thing.
"You- all of you- are not dead. Though soon that may be so."
Some of you may already be forgetting things, little things, things that you didn't know you knew, until suddenly you realize you no longer know them.
This world, Mordurn, is unforgiving and will kill many of you.

Ossric wrote:"To be honest I would have preferred the winged maidens my mother used to say would retrieve warriors to an old man. I have to wander if I took a wrong turn somewhere to wind up on the...er, darker road." The young warrior was actually rather disappointed that the storied beautiful maidens weren't there to carry him up to the gates of paradise. He definitely wanted to know what he did to annoy the gods and earn this end.
"The name is Tyric Vorgund by the way, a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Likely the last pleasure I'll have if I am reading this setting correctly." He introduced himself as he released the handshake of the man.
"You- all of you- are not dead. Though soon that may be so."
"My, my. Have some faith. I can spot some formidable warriors within our ranks. Perhaps it is true that this 'Source' chose us at random, but everyone here seems to be able to contribute. Well, not so much me, at least until I get some tools." Johann replied.
"I am Master Damocles, last of my brothers and sisters who awoke in this room over a century ago. You all are the first of many whom will awaken and take on the duties of your forebears. Of my friends who no longer walk this world." the old man continued, moving his head in a level sweep back across the group, resting his eyes on the golem which seemed to flicker with a brightness which put the meager candles within the chamber to shame.
"You are in an ancient ruin called, The Source. The Source of what is unknown, but this should not be your first concern. As to who I am, I am your first light in this world and the one who can send you on your way- though I cannot depart with you. While you may have cast magics and sorcery in the world you came from, I regret to inform you that it is all for naught here. As all of you will soon learn, Mordurn is not kind to those who try to hold on to their past lives. Some of you may already be forgetting things, little things, things that you didn't know you knew, until suddenly you realize you no longer know them. Memory is a currency of sorts in Mordurn, as is your life, as is your death. Understand this well, for we did not when my wave awoke."
"This room is the Waking Hall, you'd all do best to remember this place, to carry out your duties should you all fail. You will return here, to greet the newly awakened, as I have done for you, and in their awakening achieve final peace as I will shortly."
The old sage shifted his head and looked at the mothman.
"Where they are from, they will forget soon if they cannot remember already, it was what left me first when I awoke."
Damocles continued. "As for what you all are, Revenant is a word used by some, but Champion is the title thused by most. You are here to fight, and serve, and one day die protecting this world as mine did for a hundred years before you and their forebears a century before them. What you will fight has no name, but is only an idea of evil called the Corruption."
"This world, Mordurn, is unforgiving and will kill many of you. Some have already awoken and left this place, while others have yet to awaken. Understand that there are many in this world who care not for your mission and will only seek to survive and profit from your deaths. They must be killed. There is no other way. Trust me, for I lost sisters and brothers who failed to do so and paid the final price."
"Ah, just like the Vaults. If there's plenty of strife, there must be plenty of chances to do some science. This is good news for me."

"Science? Bug fella', you're transported to another world and you want to do...science? I admire your dedication, but what kind of science are you planning on doing in the middle of a scrap?"
"Forgive me, the term science is new to me, but I imagine it may come in handy, not necessarily in the form of fighting, but in healing and medicine. I can't imagine all the ills of this world require murder, perhaps some call for a gentler hand."

"Ah, but science is always important! Perhaps we can help this world with it. Not even old age can withstand the unrelenting tidal wave of science, when all the variables are accounted for, at least. Maybe the people of this world needs science. Better crops, better tools, better medicine. All of those would be a godsend, if the state of the world is as terrible as I'm expecting it to be. I don't know much about you, but you do look like someone whose in tune with some of the sciences, particularly weapons." Johann said, turning his head to look at the much taller Clive as they walked.
"Forgive me, the term science is new to me, but I imagine it may come in handy, not necessarily in the form of fighting, but in healing and medicine. I can't imagine all the ills of this world require murder, perhaps some call for a gentler hand."
"You are correct. I specialize in a form of healing and medicine, particularly relating to the health and capability of living beings. Unfortunately I'm not much use in a fight for now." Johann replied, pausing before continuing. "We'll see if the problems plaguing this world can be solved by the sword. However, perhaps arming the good with the knowledge to fight evil might be the solution. Still technically using the sword, but I believe it's a better way to go about things."

Lazarian wrote:"Excuse me for a moment, good sirs." he said to Johann, Tyric, and Tralios. "I've got some business to attend to. I'll catch up with you lot in a minute."
Walking backwards through the hallway, he drew closer to Faye. The man looked like a ghost - his face and skin were a light blue, and he trembled or shivered from the cold. As Clive approached, he scanned the lad over. Younger than the majority of the group, though perhaps age showed differently in nonhumans. Delicate hands and fair skin, not scarred. Looked like he was on the verge of tears, to be honest.
"Ay, chappie, it'll be alright." Clive said gruffly, extending a hand to the scared youth. "Come along now. You can't stay here with the rocks and puddles. I get that these circumstances ain't the greatest. But whether we like it or not, we're here and we've got 'ta deal with it."
