The Bear and the Lock....

Once upon a time in a universe far away, there was a handsome bear who liked to help rid the world of evil and would get right up in their face doing it. Well, Ylee was really a druid who shapeshifts, but really, he thought of himself mainly as a bear. And on this day, he choose to go to free slaves and kill evil undead in a place called Pit of Saron......

He chose some of his best friends who had seen him through many dark and dangerous places.

Two warriors, Gargle and Vagrant; his wife who is also a druid in the form of a tree, Splinter; and a warlock, Zanex.

So the group meets up at the opening of the cave to defeat this new evil. Ylee checks to make sure that everyone is ready and they proceed in.

"Wow there are a lot of undead here" Ylee mutters. "I guess it is a good thing they are all mindless or we could be in trouble".

Gargle and Vagrant are looking the undead over and discussing how to kill them the best. Splinter is making sure her leaves are in place so her healing spells are most powerful in case they need them. Zanex is cackling quietly to his imp minion while straightening his robes.

The group starts forward to the first group of undead and Ylee says "Well, you all know the drill, give me a couple of seconds to round them all up so they don't hurt you guys." Ylee prides himself on keeping his friends safe from harm while they do most of the damage and kill the undead minions of the Lich King. And so Ylee roars and charges ahead to get the monsters in the first pack to attack him so his friends would be safe when they started damaging the undead. All goes as planned and the first group dies quickly.

The next group is tricky because if Ylee and his friends aren't careful, they could accidentlly attract the attention of another two groups of nearby undead and drakes and their riders.

"Let me try and grab these guys and bring them back to y'all" Ylee says. Gargle and Vagrant think that this sounds like the best idea. So Ylee runs up and attacks the main guy on the drake and begins to run back to the group but somehow, the rider starts running directly for Zanex. Ylee notices this and starts running toward the rider with all the other evils trailing behind him but before he can growl menacingly at the rider, Zanex gives a howl of fear and creatures start running around in different directions.

Ylee angrily growls and then the worst thing happens, several of the scattering creatures run into the other two groups, so now instead of 2 creatures to try and kill, the group has over 10. Ylee frantically runs around trying to gather up the evil creatures to save his friends. Splinter is casting healing spells so fast you can barely see her branches move and Gargle and Vagrant are running behind Ylee trying to kill the creatures as quick as they can. During this time Zanex recovers and is also casting spells killing things.

Miraculously, the group survives but none quite know how.

As soon as all the creatures are dead again, Ylee runs over to Zanex and pushes him over and stands on top of him pinning him to the ground.

"I told you never to cast that spell in a place like this" Ylee yells at Zanex with saliva dripping onto Zanex's face. "You almost killed us! If you have a death wish, let us know now cause Splinter and I don't want to die and I don't want to have to tell Moppy that Gargle died or Mayhem that you died. You can just go home if that is the case!"

Ylee is continuing to stand over Zanex huffing into his face when Zanex whines "But it was coming after me!"

Angrily Ylee responds, "That is because you didn't wait for me to get them into position and truly command their attention. I know you like to brag about your number of kills after a run like this, but I've told you before if you get any of us killed, what good is your number of kills?"

Ylee steps off of Zanex and allows him to stand while saying "The most important thing is that we do our part to rid the world of these undead minions. The number of kills we each get is meaningless if we die in the process only to be resurrected by the Lich King. We work as a team, remember! Try to remember that next time instead of worrying about how many you kill."

Both Gargle and Vagrant stare angrily at Zanex while Splinter is tending to Ylee's wounds.

"Sorry" says Zanex, "I will wait longer next time. I don't want us all to die."

And with this the group continues to kill the undead minions in this place so that hopefully soon, they can make their way to the Lich King and kill him once and for all.
