You hear a blood-curling howl come from the grey shape but it can't be a wolf as it must be the size of a horse at least to be visible from this distanst. If only you had elvish eyes then like Khyrdin you could see what it was.

OOC- Having checked out the update, now posting some kind of introduction of Ragnar.
----
Ragnar the Spikewing
The journey of me had been somewhat problematic. Now it wasn't. Actually, all of my swirling dancing made me happy with joy, all of these colours around me, they are so shiny! I am so friendly with them, I need a hug. And in the far distance a small human girl enters the scenery, I hear an applause from beyond, she stands still and looks at me, and I see her and her eyes with moons inside. I laugh with a relieved laughter, she does not know that I will caress her soon with my light touch of the green suns! And I walk towards the girl, her standing still looking at me between the lot of tall trees. I lower down with my elbows on my knees in front of her, staring into her muddy[1] eyes. She begins speaking with the most beautiful scream I have ever heard, she being filled with the most precious of all fears. And I say to the dear child:
"Oh my dear princess, my eyes shone at the sight of these flowery beds, the greens of the trees around me. Dancing in these emerald graves, I gaze at the wilds, the spitting rain falling over me and the sun warmly licking my skin. Please give me more of these pleasures, bearing with my heat below my flesh and feet, I feel my mana stream through me, heating like never before."
My raspy voice was very good to her, she emits a low gurgle of tears. A mother comes from the lively distance, yelling at her daughter to go away from my shade.
And the sky becomes a little darker as I feel that these humans should go away from this forest.
"Why are you afraid of me?" I say to the girl, hissing slowly. I begin to move my hand upwards, raising it towards her. I am almost touching her now. Her mother is running desperately, she is afraid what I will do to her little girl. Holding my hands closer to the shaky child, I can almost cup her head, holding at her face. "Why are you so afraid of me?"
The woman screams. I roar at her, beginning to become frustrated through my hate. I turn around, running away with rage and fury buried within me. I am not welcome anywhere. Why am I the only one? I am lonely.
And the forest is dark while the mother of the child embraces the small one, me being in the distance. All of the flowers are rotten. I hate mothers.
[1] Muddy as in brown. Zigglers refer to brown eyes as muddy as they have all green owns themselves.

And yes, you can guess it. He perhaps has some traces of mental issues - ahh okay, he's completely insane. He'd probably have cursed that poor child if her mother wasn't near her. Or given her pain in any other way. The problem with his spells is that he's actually quite unable in direct combat.
EDIT: Vert, can you add the background story of Ragnar to the Character list, please?

Your backstory is up. Cool intro. My question is what does Ragner want to do now?

Thank you More will probably come.
What alignment do you other guys have? I've considered being evil, but I still do want to help the party out in some way. Well, if I'm evil, there's a much higher chance that I'll get killed, right?

Hakara decides to rest (from doing magic, anyway) for as long as necessary to recover his Fiezar, while trying to secure himself food. He then experiments, first with Conjuration, with creating a Ritual that processes greater powers of Conjuration at the expense of enough Fiezar to knock him unconcious and/or kill his Undead.
Once recovered, he offers his services to a local Warlord (leaving his Undead and/or killing them in his experiments with rituals), revealing his Magi status and driving the best bargain he can under the circumstances. With as much time as given, he will practice Illusion, Necromancy (if he can), and Conjuration (his goal is to get to the point where he can teleport- at the expense of his own unconciousness if necessary).
Possible Conjugation Ritual:
Hakara focuses inward, imagining the place he wishes to go to or the thing he wishes to do. He mentally strokes his own ego, increasing his pride and arrogance higher and higher, focusing everything into one moment...
"HAKARA INVINCIBLE!!!"

Ragnar the Spikewing:
After the meeting with the young girl and her mother, he flees into the forest. However, his thoughts are elsewhere. He wants a town where he can stay. The more people around him, the more... possessions in their inventory to be used in his rituals. He is to find the nearest road which he can follow to some point. Wander ahead. Avoid dangerous areas, he is not that strong in direct combat. Finding a lone man would be great though, perhaps a hermit whom he can live with.

I'll set low level magical charms around our camp, sow weak as to not be a drain, but will wake me if they are disturbed (telling me if anything comes too close)

Mini Update (This will become a full update tomorrow).
Thomas.berubug, MooseWarrior and Abaddon
Dusk draws in as the fire is lit by magic after several goes without, having a Magus around can be remarkablely useful. Thomas then set his charms small magical alarms which will ring in his mind when the thing gets near.
After three hours of staying up you decide that the thing has gone and have gone to sleep. Thomas sits bolt upright and bellows "ITS HERE, ITS HERE." You all go outside and not 50m from the camp is a huge wolf, the size of a small horse. Khyrdin wispers "Its a dire wolf so we have three options: run and die, fight and maybe die or scare it with magic and maybe die. Which shall we use."

This post will become a full update tomorrow and after that I might wipe my computer as I seem to have a bug so, maybe, no internet for awhile but I will keep the stats safe don't worry.

I have power.
I'll subtly use magic to reach inside it's mind to make it not want to attack us (and hopefully tame it)
I'll also summon a deer for it to eat... (condition it to associate us with food coming... but make it feel sharp pain if it acts aggressivly towards us.)
I'l put as much magic as is safe into doing these things.

I will quickly confer with Aiken and Thomas as to our plan of action, whispering hurriedly so as to not attract anything else but the once dire wolf there.

Khyrdin wispers "Its a dire wolf so we have three options: run and die, fight and maybe die or scare it with magic and maybe die. Which shall we use."
Thomas tried to use magic to use magic to stop the creature feeling threatened and to summon a hind for it to eat. The magic fails on to influence the wolf's primitive mind as it is both too subtle magic and the wolf's hunger is greater along with its fear of strange creatures in its territory. The summons sucedes however and a dear is plucked from the forest and dropped at the wolf's feet. It was a small hind but the wolf is not playing ball, it just sweeps the deer aside and strides on determined to destroy the inturders before tucking into a victory feast. For it knows no animal would steal from it in the heart of its teritory. Our intrepid gnome was not put off and lanuched a stone, at high speed, with magic, at the beast's head. The wolf was too quick and the stone was dodged. Khyrdin was ready with an arrow however and managed to hit the wolf in the chest but the wound was non fatal. Then the dire wolf charged Aiken. The wolf lashes out with its teeth and huge paws Aiken is knocked off his feet and badly savaged before he manages to kick the wolf's legs from under it and roll clear. He staggers up with bad injuries to his legs and chest.

Lin has recovered from his illness and brief insanity and is now helping the village recover after the attack. He helps to repair the walls places the woven panels in place and helping with the few burials that still need to be done. Captain Kavin asks him to join him in the taven shortly after the body was snatched and asks him to help him track down and slay the necromancer.
Strategous
The man turns around and says "Sorry didn't see you there. I was thinking of the battle and of the friends I have lost. I am unlucky and lucky in a way. You see I was injuried in a patrol scouting the enemy so I didn't fight but I helped with getting the civilians and wounded to safety and I lived, the last of my kind, so I am lucky. I am unlucky because all my friends died and my lover all dead and burried. But still our task for you was to find the source of demonic activity in the Forest. The elves will help you and I will help you as best I can. So help yourself to the stores but leave some food for me. Once you find the source you must destroy or stop it and no one can help you there.

You find a small town of sea elves near the coast and a small cave near said town with a Grey hermit in it. He is clearly mad but he has strong magic and appears to be some kind of shaman. He met no danger on the road.
