It was a normal day in the life of Valhalla.  Lag was typically bad,
and many adventurers were turning down the option of the more challenging
fights.  A brave few, however, decided to fetch a mighty vampire, Hyacinthe,
from the town of Nuln.
        Myrra led the charge, first destroying the vampire's guard with a few
swings of her mighty hammer.  After provoking the vampire to fight, Myrra ran
for the pub and shouted out the cry to arms.  Great warriors like Darrik,
using the shadowy nightblade, Rokk, who would cast powerful spells at the
vampire, and some lesser warriors like Samwize, who was hurling darts at the
vampire, and finally Silence, who had the awesome soulchiller that gleamed
with the icy cold within it.  Suddenly the vampire darted from a portal and
struck at Myrra, injuring her badly.  But with such great heroes as Rokk and
Darrik to aid her, Myrra did not fear for her life. After trading blows for a
few rounds, Myrra inexplicably stopped healing herself.  This perplexed her
fellow warriors who now feared for her.  Darrik was still hacking at the
vampire with the powerful nightblade, and also creating an orb of immense
heat.  Suddenly, the vampire grew incredibly angry and struck at Myrra
painfully, and Myrra quickly dashed from the room, whimpering in pain and
bleeding from many wounds.
        This left her companions unprepared for the attack that would follow,
and the vampire, enraged that Myrra had escaped, struck at Rokk, pulverizing
him, at which point Rokk smartly ran from the room, joining Myrra just
outside the pub.  This left only one great warrior to defend the others,
Darrik.  There were two others remaining that had to be guarded: Samwize and
Silence, lesser warriors of the realm that may not have stood up
to Hyacinthe's mad rage as well as Darrik.  Tragically however, at this point
Darrik had met his match.  His abilities to act were impaired by a burst of
lag, and his death followed shortly.  Cries of comforting and mourning were
cried out from around the realm-a great hero had fallen.  Many swore to avenge
Darrik's death, but they were scared to aproach Hyacinthe in such a mad rage.
        Samwize and Silence were then left to defend themselves.  The vampire
struck first at Samwize, ending his life with a killing blow.  Silence ran as
fast as he could to escape, but the vampire brutally pulverized him before he
was able to get away, and he barely survived the ordeal.
        After a few minutes, many great fighters from across the realm quickly
vanquished the vampire.  Those involved began to piece together what had
happened.  Two warriors were dead.  The vampire had become enraged and struck
madly at her foes, striking much harder than she had ever before.  Some were
angered to the point that they accused the God's of unbalancing the stakes in
the fight, but the gods replied that they had no doing in the dark vampire's
meddlings.  Darrik scrawled a few words on the town's messge board, and left
the realm in anger, throwing to waste items he could no longer wear and his
powerful sword which had grown too powerful for Darrik to wield.
        Many have become scared of the vampires since this incident, fearing
that a vampire might again become angered and fight with the fury and
intensity of Hyacinthe.  However, those brave enough to risk a duel with the
vampires have found that they have settled back down to normal.  There is
always the chance though, that a vampire may again rise to the occasion as
Hyacinthe once did, and create even more turmoil than she once did.

important stuff that Rokk captured from the fight, and you can see what
really happened.
