The world as humanity knew it was gone. In its place was a radioactive wasteland, scorched by nuclear furnaces. The third millenium passed unmarked and uncelebrated by those in the safezones. The rich took to the oceans, and to the skies, leaving everyone else behind. Stranded in the isolated "safe zones", with no knowledge of the worlds above their heads. Igor Jonovich changed everything. Nanotechnology, long thought to be impossible, flourished under his genius. Even as the walls of their radioactive cage closed in, humanity pushed back, harnessing Jonovich's creations to explore the radioactive wastelands. To challenge the twisted creatures that lurked in the ashes of their former glory. Humanity thought they, at least, knew this scarred earth. It turns out even that was a lie. Yesterday Jared found a message hidden within Professor Jonovich's greatest work that changed everything.

A Warlock....a Risen Demon......a Necromancer to save the day!! Preview I always did like to make a grand entrance. Unfurling my wings I slid in between the newbie necromancer and the two paladins. Surprisingly there were enough streetlights working tonight to make it easy to see. "What's up boys?" I asked sardonically. The two men in front of me pulled up and readjusted their weapons. Short swords and pistols. "Just bringing in a rogue Necro, no concern of yours, fiend." The blonde haired do gooder replied. His swarthy counterpart stood up a bit taller, probably trying to look more intimidating. I laughed. Playing with newbie Paladins was so much fun. "Well far be it for me to interfere with such esteemed paragons of virtue as yourselves." I replied. "But I have to ask, do either of you have a detainment writ for this poor little lady?" The look on their face was priceless. I knew they were expecting something different. Damned if I didn't like stirring the pot.
