    I hope you won't start acting death or that kind of shit Quethim.
    I am sad to anounce but I'll be away for 9 days starting from Friday although I'll enjoy that time.

    Hmmmmm...It seems that city guard might sometimes be really useful.
    I remembered my plan to get a technologists soul and the best technologist in Tarant was Gilbert Bates.I quickly walked up to his mansion.Two guards were standing at the gate.
    I took the sword in my left hand and the axe in my right and jumped from the dark slicing their both heads off.I silenlty went through the gate.I stealthly walked hiding in the bushes.I came to the side of the mansion then I crouched and then I leaped on the roof.I silently cut off a hole in the roof and jumped inside.My welcome wasn't very nice-a half-ogre's fist in my head.
    "Chukka,what is happening"I heard some sleapy old man's voice.That bastartd half-breed pulled me up and threw me at the wall. Now I was mad.I saw the old man running for his rifle so I launched my sword at him.Then I leaped to the bed and threw at it to the door so I wouldn't be disturbed.The halfogre charged at me like a berserker but I met him with my palm at is chest.He fell down,I jumped on it and sensed his power,strenght,potential...We looked at each others eyes for a minute.Guards were trying to bash the door.Then I breathed dark energies in to Chukka and from now on he was my servant.I realised the old man was Bates.I started sucking his soul out.Windows shattered and the grandpa's body burnt to ashes.Now my head was full of new information.
    One down,one more to go.I left Chukka unconscious (he will come to the inn at the morning).I leaped through the window and the fense.My strentgh was returning.I concentrated,whispered an incanation and teleported to the G.Bates factory.I quickly took out the gem and threw it inside the biggest steam engine.Technology and magic colided in to explosion but I was already teleported near the inn's entrance.The sun was rising,the richest man in Tarant lay dead in his mansion,his main factory was burning and the gem was destroyed.I silently went inside,ordered a mug of ale and started sipping it smiling darkly...

    So much for stealth. Between the dead guards, and the explosion at the factory, If anyone didn't know already, they would know soon enough when the story hit the papers.

    Myself? I heard the explosion all the way back at the Inn. And I pretty much figured this mysterious figure was the cause of it as well. This guy has to be powerful. Or at least he THINKS he is powerful, to go around showboating like that. Almost as much of a show-off as Payne. *mutter mumble*

    That night I waited. Waited for him to return to the Inn. Somehow I knew he would, but there was still that lingering doubt in my mind. I wanted to try to get some idea of what I was dealing with. So I waited. God, I HATED waiting.

    That's when I saw him come back in. Getting a drink and smiling like nothing happened at all.

    "So you do not want to talk? Well I will be back but I have some business in this time."
    I left the mages area.I had no clue how I died and how I got resurected.I decided to go back to the inn. For I knew the Soul Reaver did something to the gem and I needed that gem. But I was stopped on my way to the inn. It was an old man. And he looked familiar.
    "You..I remember you!"
    "Ah..it is nice to see you again Kingar Bloodbane."

    I was only just getting back into bed when I heard it.... The loudest explosion I had ever heard in my life roared across the still night air. So startled was I that I fell out of bed and hit my head against my bed side nightstand. Soon after, my doors burst open and one of my guards came in.

    "Sir, Sir!!" He panted. "Gilbert Bates' Factory has just been blown sky high!"

    "Has Mr Bates been informed?" I asked.

    "That's just it sir, he's missing!".

    "How? Was he kidnapped?" I asked.

    "Well, we're not quite sure sir... We've only just been told by his personal guards ourselves." Came the reply.

    Well great. Just great. There goes my night. Not only have I had to deal with some prick who killed two Orcs guards and then broke out of jail, I now have a fire in the city and the wealthiest man in Arcanum has gone missing. Oh fantastic. I'll never get to sleep now.....

    I dressed yet again and called all the guards out, yet again. And then, yet again, I called the Master Mage. As a Firearms technologist I find that it is necessary to have a mage handy at times. Particular in times as strange as these.

    With everyone assembled, we headed off into the night air, yet again except this time, we headed towards Gilbert Bates' Mansion. The scene was a disturbing one. Somehow, someone or something, had gotten in through the roof, there were broken roof tiles on the ground outside as well as a gaping hole in Mr Bates' roof. Chuka, Mr Bates' bodyguard was lying unconcious on the ground. A doctor at the scene advised he be taken to the hospital and left to rest. I hope to question him tomorrow. Strangely though, there was a little pile of ash on the ground. It was strange because it appears to have been the only thing in the entire room that was burnt. It was my old friend the Master Mage who informed me of the grim news.

    "That's not ordinary ash from an ordinary fire, Skcus', that there is the remains of a magickal spell."

    "What did the spell do?" I asked.

    "It killed Gilbert Bates is what it did."

    I was shocked. How? Why? Was it possible? Gilbert Bates wasn't missing, he was... Dead??

    "I'm never going to get to sleep now..." I muttered.

    There was nothing else to do here, I left one of my senior investigators in charge along with the Master Mage for protection (in case whoever did this came back) and headed off with the rest of my men to survey the fire.

    The fire was only just being held under control. Several people were helping to put out the flames of the burning factory. Unfortunately for me, any evidence of what went on here would not only be destroyed by the fire, but by all the water that would be used to put the fire out. Unfortunately, saving the lives of the citizens of Tarant is my first priority, so I grabbed a bucket and started pouring water on the flames......

    The morning came.I finished my ale and ordered breakfast so I wouldn't seem so suspicious.I started eating.The food was good but far from the real taste of souls.Damn I was still hungry.I finished my "breakfast" and headed out for some real breakfast.The day was gloomy.I liked that.
    I went to the back of the boil where all the scum of this city would gather during daytime.Most muggers tried to avoid me but then I was stopped by three half-ogres.
    "You come with me!We go meet Pollock!"he ordered.I started laughing.What could some lowly gang do to me?
    "Alright."I was led to some dirty abandoned warehouse turned into a hive of scum.Another half-ogre stood before me.He was the leader of this gang.
    "So killer of Bates what you be doing here?"
    "How the hell you know I killed that old geek?!"
    "I have my sources"he answered still thinking he was safe."Maybe you want to work for me?"
    "Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!Yeah right."I nimbly leaped behing Pollock,unsheated my sword and held it by the halfbreed's neck.
    Two halfling gunslingers came out from the dark corners of the room.
    "Don't shoot"Pollock screamed.
    I quickly pulled out and threw my sword at one of the halflings.Then I cut the ignorant Pollock's throat and threw my axe at the other gunslinger.The three half-ogres saw me unarmed so they charged.I raised my hand and my axe returned to my hand.I cut one ogre in half and I gutted another.The third one hit me in the head with a mace.I fell to the ground.He aimed for another hit but I threw my axe and cut his balls off.
    "Hehe there goes your manhood" he fell to the ground moaning.All the floor was filled with blood.I quiclky started sucking the souls.They started flying towards me but he building was too old.It started colapsing.Some gang members ran through the door but were hit by roof tiles.I finished my breakfast and teleported out just before the building collapsed to dust.I teleported to the ouskirts of the city.After such a big breakfast it was time for a rest so I sat down and started scheming my future plans.

    I remembered this old man from somewhere, but where.
    "Do you remember I was the one who made you a slave in the void. I was the one who changed your future and made you different. I gave you that scar.."
    "No I do not remember my life in the void. I do not know what happened. But I remember you for you have done something to me.."
    "I killed you!"
    "No..no I can not be a clone...."

    The fire took several hours before it was under control. It took all night to actually put out. After that, there was not much more I could do, I still needed to investigate the death of Gilbert Bates AND work out who started the fire. However, those are things that I'd have to later. Right now, it was day break and I badly needed some sleep.

    I am back!!!

    I stood up and looked around.It seemed if I was sleeping a long time.Ooooookeeeey.I guess I'll be going on soul hunting but first I'll need some provisions.Having eaten Pollock's soul I came to know the location of his gang's "treasury".I walked there and saw a group of ex-gang's members fighting each other for the treasure.I waited until only one of them was left alive.I leaped at him and stabbed him through the heart.Then I sucked-in all the souls around.
    I opened the chest and saw 21000 coins.Not bad,Pollock,not bad...I packed them in a bag and went shopping.I bought lots of potions and that kind'a shit.Then I went to the inn to drink some beer before the journey.I liked that stuff.
    I came in and shouted
    "Gimme a pint of beer!"
    "Righty-o"ansewered the bartender in some gay fashion.Yuck.
    "One coin oh mighty warrior"he said handing me the beer.
    "Here!Take five"I started laughing.

    "You were a failure. That is why I came to get you. You do not need to be in this world. You are nothing but a clone. A clone that has the memory of the real you."
    "But why? Why did you kill me?"
    "You were the one who attacked me first. I saw your great power and that is why I cloned you. I will now take you back to the void and finish what I was doing."
    I then felt myself being dragged out of this world. I large beam went around me and then next I knew I was in a dark area. Back where I started.
