| Rad stood at the top of what appeared to be a spire. There was enough room at the top for roughly half a dozen people to stand before the path down the spire started. The path circled the spire twice before reaching the ground, which was level around the entire spire. Being in the Deep Dungeon, the only source of light were four crystals spaced around the area, two on the path up and down, and two at the base of the spire. Rad could faintly be seen searching around the top of the spire. "Where could that trap door down be?" He lifted his his head as he heard someone near the bottom of the spire. OOC: PM me if you want more intormation about the dungeon.  Like a map.The crystals provide roughly the same amount of light as a bright torch, but disappear and fill HP and MP if touched. |

| A helmeted knight climbed down from his horse and looked about the area. He wore steel armor covered by a silver and white surcoat, the shield on his back decorated similarly. Upon his breast was the stylized head of a unicorn, and that same emblem was emblazoned across the top of his shield. He spoke a firm command to his steed, and the muscled stallion departed at once. The knight armed himself and ascended the spire. Before he reached the pinnacle, he called out, "Foul shadows of night, retreat from my path lest ye feel my god and my blade." In the center of his chest, a faint light appeared. The knight's holy symbol, dangling beneath his surcoat, had become ignited by a mental command. He climbed higher, and stood at the path's end. He saw a presence before him. "What being does Callean Silvershield of the Motley Unicorn face?" |

| Rad turned his head to face the newcomer, and shielded his eyes from the light. His eyes had grown used to the faint light given off by the crystals. After his eyes had quickly adjusted to the light, Rad lowered his hand and resumed searching for the trap door down. He answered the knight's question without looking back at him. "I am Rad, and I'm a little busy right now, could you wait a moment?" He quickly hopped over a rock, and gasped as he spotted a human body at the edge of the spire. He realized the body was that of Charlene, a young woman he had seen in a nearby town's millita, more than likely killed by the monsters that lived in the Deep Dungeon. I guess now I don't need to go any lower. Must have been goblins. The Heartless don't leave bodies of the dead. Rad bent down and gently closed her eyes as he muttered a prayer over her. "Lord, let us feel pity for Charlene, and sorrow for ourselves, and all the angel warriors that fall. Let us fear death, but let it not live within us. Protect us, O Lord, and be merciful unto us. Amen." Rad stood back up with his head bowed, turned to the newcomer as he made the sign of the Cross across his chest, and asked, "What are you doing here? Few people know of this dungeon, and less are crazy enough to come this far down." |

| Callean intimately recognized the form and flow of Rad's quiet prayer, and he replaced his sword in its scabbard. "I know of no dungeon here, sir. A dark messenger sent me urgent notice of some unholy conflict, set to fall upon this very spire on this very night. I set off for this place not a tenday ago," the knight explained calmly. "I sense no evil in you. Tell me, good Rad, is there any deed you might ask of me? I'm all but lost in this place, and I'd rather not stand 'round doing naught." |

| "Actually, there is a dungeon nearby." Rad pointed down, to the spire he was standing on. This would be it. It's called the Deep Dungeon, and it was once cleared. "However, around one year ago, a vile evil appeared in the bottom of the dungeon. My Master, two of our friends, and myself entered the dungeon to find out what this evil was. "Upon fighting to the bottom of the dungeon, the evil was able to convert our friends to his side, and they attacked me. My Master was not able to return them to their former selves, and was forced to slay them. He died from his wounds shortly after. Upon picking up his fallen swords, I passed out and woke in town." Rad's fists clenched in anger. "I didn't see the bastard then, and I haven't seen him yet, but I swear I will kill him." Regaining his frame of mind, Rad visibly calmed himself before continuing. "Since then, the dungeon and levels within have not been touched by natural light, and the nearby town has been harrased by beings of shadow during the night. In my dreams, the evil talks to me and calls these beings the 'Heartless'. "As for an 'unholy conflict', I would suspect that the evil of this dungeon might be planning an assult on the town. However, that would be impossible, seeing as this tower has only a trap door as an entrance, and I can barely fit through it." |

| Recognizable pulses of magical energy resonated in Callean's mind. "Your tale is certainly true, ally. I cannot let such a vile being dwell in these lands. My sword is at your call, noble one, that we might take action." | |||

| Rad asked Callean, "Was the magic you just used to see into the dungeon?" | |||

| Callean hid the surprise he felt when Rad detected the paladin's subtle use of magic. "Nay, 'twas to determine the weight and truth of your tale. I've not much magic beyond that." | |||

| OOC: Hope I understand what you did correctly. Joy. A telepath. Rad was furious that this person had the nerve to probe his mind. However, he was taught that a surprize attack can allow one to gain the upper hand in battle. Rad hid his anger and replied, "Ok then, just making sure. If you did have the power of Clairvoyance, you might have been able to tell me what that evil was planning. "Since you cannot, I must go down to check this myself." Rad stepped towards the edge of the spire, away from Callean and over the body of the dead lady. |

| [Out of character - Callean's ability to detect truth is something of a variation on the more standard ability of alignment detection (that is, the ability to determine whether a person is good or evil). He can employ it at will without making any visible gesture or audible vocalization, but its use can indeed be "sensed" by those with appropriate powers. It is normally failproof, but can be fooled by a target with sufficient talent or natural immunity.] "Wait, what is this?" Callean asked as he hurried to the body. He'd not seen it before in the darkness, but Rad's movements had indicated some obstacle in his path and drew the paladin's attention to the nearly invisible heap on the ground. |

| Motioning to the body at his feet, Rad stated, "This is Charlene, a member of the nearby town's millita. She went missing a couple days ago, and I was sent to look for her. Seeing as that evil seems to have turning my life into hell, he must have lured her here and goblins found her." Rad glanced at the four crystals around the spire. "It must have been the same goblins who were here when I showed up." |

| Callean gestured solemnly and spilt several drops of holy water onto the body from a flask on his belt. "Let us advance on this place," he suggested, "and confront its evil." | |||

| Rad returned to facing Callean, arms loosly at his side. He stated, with minor anger in his voice, "I cannot allow that. You do not seem stronger than, me, and I have a hard time fighting down there. Should you still strive to enter the Deep Dungeon, or inform any others about its presence, it will be over my dead body." What appeared to be two giant keys flashed into existance in in Rad's hands. Both were the length of a bastard sword, but had no visible edge. This was because the Keyblade's cutting power was from the inherent magic in each Keyblade. |

| "What is this treachery?" shouted Callean, incredulously. He immediately drew his sword and dropped his shoulder, allowing his trusted shield to fall down to his arm from its perch on his back. The paladin stood with a defensive posture, ready to defend against an attack from his friend-turned-attacker. |

| Rad muttered to himself, "I have seen too many killed or changed by the Heartless. That will happen no more, even if I must kill to do so. Better a thousand die at my hand then one fall to the Heartless." He then placed his left Keyblade to his forehead and said aloud, "Layer upon layer, make your mark now! Haste!" His movments quickened as he slowly started towards Callean. |

| Callean refused to advance, remaining in his spot but hopping a bit on the balls of his feet to generate a bit of body heat. He ducked and feinted and dodged in place, keeping in motion always but never letting down his guard. "Strike first, heinous knave!" he taunted. | |||

| Rad charged towards Callean, randomly shifting from side to side. Because of the Haste spell, Rad had about the same forwards speed as a stampeding horse. As he entered melee range, he swung up with Excalibur in his left hand and down with Chaos in his right. | |||

| Callean raised his shield upward, and Chaos' impact made its paint flake away (though the block was effective). His sword shot forward in a similar motion, and the mighty Excalibur crashed against it and threw sparks all about. Both attacks were shrugged harmlessly aside, though Callean's hands shuddered from the excessive momentum behind the strikes. The paladin struck conservatively with his sword, but made a more powerful attack a moment later when he tried to bash Rad's face in with the steel shield. |

| Rad quickly swung Excalibur back into the fray, and was able to parry Callean's sword. Rad then dropped to his knees, allowing the shield to fly harmlessly over his head. Rolling backwards, Rad returned to his feet a good ten feet away from Callean. He then shifted into a defensive stance, and waited for Callean's move. |

| The knight nodded subtly, acknowledging his adversary's talent. Judging the distance between himself and Rad, Callean found himself with suitable time to weave a defensive spell. He dug his hand into a belt pouch and came up with a bit of fine, golden dust. The knight tossed it into the air above himself and, as it settled, recited a specific prayer to his god. As the powder descended over him, angelic wings sprouted from his back; they lingered for a moment, and then dissolved once more to dust as the enchantment took hold. Having gained significant resistance to damage from sword and spell alike, Callean advanced conservatively but without fear. He reached striking distance, but made no attack: the paladin wanted to appraise his opponent's reaction to the magical spell. |
