Zerroth
Of the four Dark Alliance priests who started the second
Griffin Sword War, Zerroth was the least
seen; he made very few appearances, much to the
disappointment of V'Tullian PCs. This may have
been the only time I encountered him. Thank you to Rekarth
for the look description.

[Whistler's Pass, Hills]
A rock wall, chinked with earth, wraps around the hillside
to the west. The night brings mysterious shadows with
it. A few stones have pushed out from the wall and now

You peer through the window and see...
An arrow whistles into the room and hits Silverona!
... 15 points of damage!
Strike just below the jaw, nice shot to the
neck!
She is stunned!
>think I think I saw him. I can't say for sure since I'm
only going by what I've heard, but it looked like him.
You focus on projecting your thoughts...
Round time: 5 seconds.
You frown.
The heavy rainfall makes it difficult to see more than just
a few feet ahead.
You hear three heavy *THUDS* on the gate.
>think Someone's pouding on the gate!
You focus on projecting your thoughts...
Round time: 5 seconds.
You release an arrow and it goes flying into the distance!
You watch intently, but your arrow hits the ground.
Roundtime: 11 secs.
Thaxius fires an arrow through the window and it flies off
into the distance!
Fremie fires an arrow through the window and it flies off
into the distance!
You fidget.
Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being
watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.
Roaring wind rushes past you, forcing the pelting rain to
sting your skin.
Dragolyn asks, "Hit Zerroth yet?"
You release an arrow and it goes flying into the distance!
You watch intently, but your arrow hits the ground.
Roundtime: 15 secs.
Thaxius says, "Nope."
You hear a guttural voice from the other side yell, "New
neighbors. Open up."
You peer through the window and see...
[Whistler's Pass, Iron Bridge]
A wrought-iron statue of a drake spreads its wings out wide,
its neck extended towards the heavens. A torch burns
in the drake's mouth. At the south end of the bridge a
series of steps lead up to a hill. To the north, the
bridge ends at another hilltop. You also see an arrow,
an arrow, an arrow, a fair-skinned elven soldier, a

You say, "I don't see him."
Thaxius yells, "No!"
Fremie yells, "Zerroth you scum, I thought we burned your
ship down!"
You belt out, "This fort was not built to be sundered in a
night by the likes of you!"
Kinshack just arrived.
Kinshack says, "Zerroth is outside."
Briah says, "we noticed"
Kinshack says, "Nasty fellow."
Kinshack just went out.
You pace back and forth.
Much shooting of arrows.
Briah says, "He's gone"
Kinshack just arrived.
Kinshack mutters under his breath.
Kinshack says, "Zerroth sent me flying."
You blink at Kinshack.
You ask, "When?"
Kinshack says, "Sent me flying north."
Kinshack says, "Just now."
Fremie exclaims, "close the gate!"
Kinshack says, "The gate is open."
Kinshack says, "I just came in from outside."
You mumble something under your breath.
You turn the iron wheel with all your might, and it slowly
gives way with a screeching of metal.
Roundtime: 26 secs.
The wheel whirls wildly as the ropes connecting it to the
gate draw taut, and with a groaning of wood the gate closes!
The surroundings are blurred with a downpour of obscuring
rain.
Dragolyn says, "Zerroth vacated"
A sudden gust blows the rain at you in a stinging attack.
Fremie says, "all is clear it seems"
Briah says, "That's fair odd"
Errethe calmly says, "gate is locked again"
Zerroth leaps down from atop the building's roof and lands
with a massive *THUD*. He puts one meaty hand on the
wheel and smirks.
Dragolyn drops an arrow.
Fremie drops an arrow.
Fremie drops a steel-tipped monir long bow.
Fremie removes a dark vultite talon sword from in his back
scabbard.
Sylviana's jaw drops.
Briah drops a long bow.
Briah slings a mirror-bright silver vultite targe off from
over her shoulder.
You see Zerroth Wetchir the V'tullian Berserker.
He appears to be in the prime of life and is of an utterly
towering height. He has solid crimson eyes and pale
alabaster skin. He has long matted, black hair tied
back tightly into a ragged ponytail. His hands appear
to have been burnt into huge blackened talons, whose
surfaces are wrought with crimson trails of fiery lava that
shift restlessly with blurred waves of heat.
He has numerous dark markings branded deeply into the flesh
of his face.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a massive serrated black ora sword in his
right hand.
He is wearing a suit of heavily stained black plate set with
curved shoulder-spikes, a pair of ragged black leather boots
reinforced with stained iron, a dark iron-bound sheath, and
a tattered deep crimson cape.
Zerroth says, "So."
You shriek!
Your injuries hinder your attempt to hide.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
You attempt to blend with the surroundings and feel
confident that no one has noticed your doing so.
Fremie says, "Your ship burned."
Zerroth says, "You flew like a ragdoll."
Silverona gawks at Zerroth.
Zerroth slams his massive hammer into the ground, causing an
immense shockwave of hazy white energy to ripple across the
area with a deafening explosion!
Dragolyn is caught by the force and goes soaring out...
Thaxius is caught by the force and goes soaring out...
Briah is caught by the force and goes soaring west...
Fremie is caught by the force and goes soaring out...
Fremie is caught by the force and goes soaring out...
You are caught by the force and go soaring out...
[Whistler's Pass, Bridge]
An iron bridge curves off to the southwest toward another
hilltop. A fog bank shrouds the northern path in

You vigorously shake your head.

I'm afraid that you can't pull that.
With a roar, Kinshack lowers his shoulder and charges the
wooden gate!

leading to a small encampment.
A white-clad elven medic just arrived, crawling along the
ground.
Galesmight says, "Don't break it."
Bartain yells, "Open the gate!"
Thaxius gestures at a spiked wooden gate leading to a small
encampment.
You hear a soft click from the gate and it suddenly flies
open.
You belt out, "Fine! We don't need the stupid encampment
anyway!"
A white-clad elven medic crawls north.
