Finally I saw my mother walk into the woods, axe in hand, bundled up tight in warm attire. She walked across our weather beaten front yard, and was soon swallowed by the shadows at the edge of the woods. I laughed as I saw a flock of birds fly from the woods, screeching at an unseen terror. It was late now, and my mother had not returned <>. Was she okay?

Whatever power he may have been bestowed when Sepulchure's item was sacrificed still lingers, but that is only a fraction of the power that lies within him. As I envision Baron Valtrith, he was originally among the wealthiest of dark elves- and therefore had access to many tomes and essays that detailed powerful, experimental magicks at the time.

That simply wasn't enough for him, so he made a deal with the Mysterious Stranger. Whenever one of his flunkies failed their attempts to conquer Lore- for there had been a long line of failed Doom Knights even before Sepulchure and Dethrix- their bodies were destroyed and their essence was cast into the heart of Baron Valtrith. In return, the Baron would remain loyal solely to the Stranger.

This is why he is associated with the 13th and all things unlucky. He is not only a powerful embodiment of darkness, but an embodiment of failure. Sepulchure detects this within Baron Valtrith before he starts to fight him.

It's funny Arthur should ask how Aura is doing. At this point in our story, Aura is canonically locked away in Espina Rosa. :)

Oh, then I think that makes for a most interesting crossover. Anyways, what do you reckon Faerdin would talk to Mel about...? I hope I've portrayed your character correctly.

They would likely have a terse discussion about how GOSHDERNIT WEREMONKEES DON'T BELONG IN AMITYVALE!

Monkees are evil, y'know.
