The Night stone (The late night crew)

The Journey Begins

Cry waited with Cheyenne for the others to arrive at the cave. They were going to explore it in hope of finding the night stone, a legendary stone that grants a wish to an adventurer that finds it. The group had heard about this stone and decided to find it for themselves and wish for peace in the land of Lepstria, so Cry had found a book about it in a library and read of a cave that may have the stone inside, upon reading this he asked Cheyenne and his other friends to explore the cave together.
"When do you they they'll arrive?" Cry asked Cheyenne anxiously.
"Relax, I know this may be exiting for you babe, but we don't even know if it's in there or not," Cheyenne said "They should be here soon."

After waiting about an hour Russ arrived at the camp they set up near the cave they were waiting at.
"Hey guys!" Russ said. He was dressed in mail armor and had his hammer tied to his waist. He looked very prepared to explore the cave.
"Sup Russ." Cry said while waving at Russ.
"Hello," Cheyenne said "Did you see Jund or Snake on your way here by chance?"
Russ shook his head "Nope, didn't see them."
They waited for their two friends. While waiting they talked about their thoughts on what they might find in the cave.

"Heya guys." Jund said with Snake trailing behind him.
"Good Afternoon." Snake greeted.
"Hey, your finally here!" Cry said.
"We should head into the cave soon before the sun starts going down." Cheyenne pointed out.
"Yeah." Cry agreed "Is everyone ready?"
"Hell yeah!" exclaimed Russ.
Everyone else nodded.
"Well then, let's get going" said Cry while starting to walk into the cave.

The 5 of them started walking together in the dark cave. Cry held a torch in his big Orcish hands for the group as they traversed the cave. It was pretty empty, the only interesting things inside of it were stalagmites.
"It doesn't look like there's anything in here" said Jund.
"Don't lose hope. We're not even all the way through it yet." Said Cry.
"Yeah, but don't have too much hope, Cry." Said Cheyenne.

After walking for a bit they found a part of the cave where 2 paths split.
"Should we split up, or just go on one path?" Asked Cry.
"Well if we split up it can go a lot quicker." Snake pointed out.
"Yeah," said Chey "I think we should split up."
"Hmm.." Said Cry "Me, Cheyenne and Russ will go right and Snake and Jund will go left."
"Alright" Snake said.
Jund created a ball of light energy which acted like a torch for Snake and himself and headed into the left side with the light in his hand.
"Well, Let's keep moving." Russ said as he motioned forward.

The 3 of them kept moving onward until they reached what seemed like a room where somebody was staying in.
"There are books here." Cheyenne said
"And a bed" Cry said while pointing at a bed.
There were the sounds of somebody walking behind them. They quickly turned around to see a mysterious figure wearing strange plate armor and a hood.
"Just what are you three doing here?" Asked the strange man
"Looking for something." Answered Cheyenne.
"Looking for what?" Asked the man.
Before Cheyenne could answer Russ spoke up.
"Guys..." Russ said nervously.
"What is it?" Asked Cry.
"It's one of the dark prince's mages!"
The man smiled once Russ revealed who he really was.
"Well, that would be correct. I do research here, along with the other mages." Said the man.
"What kind of research?" Cheyenne sternly asked.
"On the night stone, that's what you travelers are here for, right?"
"Maybe we are." Answered Cry.
"Well, I can't let you have that stone. The dark prince has ordered that anyone who is looking for the night stone will be sentenced to death."
Cry, Russ and Cheyenne looked at one another.
"And I will do it right here for him." The man snapped his fingers and behind him there were 4 other people dressed in the same gear he was. They all drawled their weapons and pointed them at Cry, Russ, and Cheyenne.
Cry quickly pulled out his one handed axe while Russ got his hammer ready and Cheyenne pulled out her two one-handed swords. They prepared for attack.
