Alexis fires a bolt into Zander's shoulder that spins him around and drops him. He glances up, smile still on his face, but then his smile wavers shortly and his eyes lock on Cronk. "Cronk?! Cronk... you did this to me... how... where am I? I feel so warm- too warm--" Zander collapses onto the pavement and is still.

Drops: 2 gold "I think it would be better if I showed you. Showed you all." Zane gives a wheezy gravelly laugh. "Embarrassed by your family?" "They're just hard to explain." Vipera flies to Hoke's shoulder and rests there. <The Orc. He is not normal. He speaks with many voices.> Zane turns to look at the Dragon. He winks. "You're very attune to the Spirit Pools, aren't you? This city must be very loud for you. It's very loud for me. So much talking, not much saying." Edited January 13, 2013 by Zepher Quote
Flipz Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 "The Spirit Pools..." What had that Progg said about them? "Erm, I have to confess...I don't know much about the Spirit Pools, despite my widespread studies. I..." Can I reveal this to them? Should I...? Arthur caves, and holds back. "I...would very much like to learn more about them." His own spirit churns in turmoil as he awaits a reaponse. Quote
CMP Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 It's Dyric, not Atramor. Don't scare me like that... Atramor watched Dyric go down, and promptly turned to Zee and the remaining trio of undead, seething. They were so close. "Poletad, I'm not gonna lie, you're not gonna survive this round if you don't get a miracle. Our best chance is if you heal Recent Dead C, back row." He turned to Thothwick. Whatever hostility they may have had earlier in the battle was consumed with desperation for survival and sheer hate for Zee and her minions. "It's just you and me now. Get those last two Ancient Deads, back row." The witch's hands began to glow violently as he attempted to heal Thothwick, from the back row. If he fails, he tries again. If he succeeds, he heals himself, also from the back row.

UsernameMDM Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 "Do they all speak the message or is Zane choosing what to say?" Hoke askes Vipera. Quote
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Master A and B were not awake, so they shouldn't have dealt a free hit to be counterstruck. Only Apprentice B should have been counterstruck last round. Zander? Name was not familiar to Cronk... Did Cronk know Zander? Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 With a grimace, Thothwick nods, and attacks Ancient Dead E and F from the back row. Quote
Zepher Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 In that case Master A had a heart attack from the stress. My present to you. "Zander was speaking on a behalf of someone else, Cronk. Now, bring your weapon up and finish this battle. I have other places to be. Let us see what happens here. Surely either way there will be progress, for Wren or for you or for us." ------ <The Orc is their master, though just barely.> "Just barely, Dragon? I'd like to think I am their master more than most. I'm the success story. Zee and Zander and Mephisto didn't fare so well. I think they're dead now. That what happens- the weak are weeded out. Isn't that what this city does to people? Or maybe its just random. Maybe I just got lucky. That's the way of it, isn't it, Arthur? Chaos is everything?" The Orc grins. "Not truly. I am the master of my own destiny. Zander was too stupid to master his demons, and Zee and Mephisto strived for too much." Vipera shakes her head fearfully again and turns to Arthur. <The Spirit Pools are a little like ether. They cannot be learned, you can sense them or you cannot. They are different from ether- they are much harder to master, more of a force pervading everything, less something you can direct, as you mages can direct ether. They have more to do, also, with life and death. But unless you are born a prophet or dragon or another ancient race, you cannot not learn them.> Again, Zane makes a snide comment. "Unless you cheat the system." The Gray Wizard stares at Zane and tsks, pacing near a window. Bennetton remains silent, but his eyes follow the Gray Wizard. Quote

Some of what he was saying were his words, but coming from the fool's mouth they seemed...haughty. Arrogant. Insincere. His mind was more occupied by other matters. I wonder...? Arthur pauses. <Vipera,> Arthur thinks, <how does this sensitivity manifest itself? For me, with the Ether, I learned of my power when I was mining an elemental gemstone and, upon touching my hand to the crystal, a blast of frost flowed forth upon the cavern wall; I was unaware of my connection until this event. Do the Spirit Pools work in the same way? Have your fellow Dragons ever known of someone who is...unaware of their connection?> "No, Zane. Your fellows do not embrace the Chaos the way I have. If they are dead, then they clearly did not live in harmony with the Chaos of the world. It is not about 'cheating the system'; it is about surviving in an unstable world, no matter what that world throws at you." "Nonetheless...I think I can guess at why your leader is known as Mephisto. Tell me...just how many...spirits...have been fused to your soul?" Quote
UsernameMDM Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Hoke shakes his head at the orc's words. "Cheat the system? Ha! There is no 'cheating the system!' You are only denying the inevitable. Why do you think you can side with or control chaos? It will eat you alive. You will be consumed by the very fire you are stoking."

CorneliusMurdock Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Who was Zander speaking for? Cronk wants answers. Cronk will bash Magician from front row twice. If magician is already KO'd before Cronk first or second turn, Cronk will bash Apprentice B (and then anything else) from back row. Alexis, target magician using darkness but also try to make Master B fragile using lens. Felton will bash Magician from front row twice. Gnash will bash Apprentice B from back row. If Apprentice B is defeated, Gnash will attack anyone but Master B. McColt, Encourage Gnash. Order is: Felton Felton Alexis Alexis McColt Gnash Cronk Cronk Quote

Perhaps not immediately, but there you will know one day if it is there. It is impossible for someone who has not experienced it to understand. It is being out of your body and inside your body at once.> "Zee and Mephisto aren't dead. They just aren't the same as they used to be. Their souls got eaten up. I told Mephisto, I warned him, you eat a soul eater, they'll probably eat you back. But why listen to me? I'm but a fool." "As for my number of spirits-" "Souls. My brother deals in souls, among other things." "The number of souls- I have no idea. I got bits and pieces of more than enough. They nearly drove me insane, but I told them if they didn't shut their mouths I'd jump into the sea and drown us all, and then they got quiet and stopped trying to burn my insides." Zane smiles. "You just need to know what people want and don't want, and they're very easy to control. Hoke shakes his head at the orc's words. "Cheat the system? Ha! There is no 'cheating the system!' You are only denying the inevitable. Why do you think you can side with or control chaos? It will eat you alive. You will be consumed by the very fire you are stoking." "I don't give a rat's megablocks about Chaos or Zoot. I owed someone a favor, that's the only reason I was at that damn gate. And to do some shopping. I guess I do want to meet Wren, but I'm more interested in a different group of beings. Bringing Zoot to Olegia seems a folly, and unlikely to be honest... can't blame Zee and Mephisto for trying- well, at least the beings inside them for trying- but I've got other fish to fry. The Magician has piqued my interest. She's very interested to meet you, by the way." Zane winks at the Gray Wizard. ----------------- "He spoke for Zed. In part.

CMP Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Atramor ignored the fact that Thothwick avoided his healing. It may as well have saved him from the free hits. He winced and stumbled onto one knee at the latest undead attack, yet at the same time marveled at how much punishment he'd been able to take thus far. But everyone's suffering would be rendered pointless if they were defeated...he got back to his feet, shaking his head. "Revive Nyx. We can't make it out of this alive without someone else, and if there's anyone who knows best how to fry someone alive, it's her. Then, you're gonna have to hit yourself with that....banana sword or whatever, or down a potion. In that order, mate. Tell Nyx to use her Holy Bomb when she gets up. If Zee hits me, I'll be overrun by the dead, but since Nyx'll be back it'll hardly matter." He swept the Heavy Flail out of his cloak. With it in one hand and a glowing Ratsbane in the other, he advanced on Zee. As he made one last desperate attempt to heal himself with Ratsbane from the back row, he let out a feral hiss as the Heavy Flail came down at Zee's head from the back row. Thothwick revives Nyx, back row Atramor heals himself (Ratsbane), back row Atramor attacks Zee (Heavy Flail), back row Nyx uses Holy Bomb, back row Thothwick uses Banana Sabre/Grand Potion on himself, back row Quote

UsernameMDM Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 "I don't give a rat's megablocks about Chaos or Zoot. I owed someone a favor, that's the only reason I was at that damn gate. And to do some shopping. I guess I do want to meet Wren, but I'm more interested in a different group of beings. Bringing Zoot to Olegia seems a folly, and unlikely to be honest... can't blame Zee and Mephisto for trying- well, at least the beings inside them for trying- but I've got other fish to fry. The Magician has piqued my interest. She's very interested to meet you, by the way." Zane winks at the Gray Wizard. "A favor? For whom? Is this magician of yours at one of the gates?" Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) To his surprise, Thothwick followed the Witches instructions, almost without hesitation. "That has lead to much anguish before now..." Shaking it off, Thothwick knelt down beside Nyx in the back row, placed one arm behind her back, and carefully lifted her, brushing her with the Phoenix Essence as he did so. "Up you get, Ms. Nyx, we're not finished yet." Making sure she was up on her feet, Thothwick tapped himself upon the head with his Banana Sabre, hoping the rejuvenating energy of the blade would work.

Pandora Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Nyx is dreaming of dragons and frogs and swirling chaos and orcs and magicians and ice cream. Specifically pistachio, with chocolate sprinkles. She feels herself moved, gently, and lifted, as a familiar voice speaks to her. A face swims into view, and a smile spreads to a grin. "Thothy!" She feels her strength return, although she doesn't feel quite so dangerous as she did before, and looks around. Atramor is out of breath, and it's clear he... they all have been fighting valiantly, and to the end in Dyric's case. A cold shard stabs her heart to see Poletad frozen as he is and she quickly turns this sadness to anger, and then focus. She gets to her feet with Thothwick's assistance. "Thothy, you are always a gentleman, thank you. Yours is one face I don't mind seeing when I wake up." Nyx thinks about what she just said, and quickly adds: "Not like that I mean, I mean, I know you have your.. companion, and uhm, anyway nice to see you again friend. Right then." She walks towards Atramor and gives him what she hopes is an encouraging smile, putting her hand on his shoulder, knowing the imminent risks. "So, you want a Holy Bomb at everyone. Done!" And she steps to the back row, and lobs her holy bomb at the assorted skellies with of all her deceptively considerable strength, before hunkering down and waiting for the onslaught of free hits and hoping every single one of them still makes it through.

Professor Flitwick Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 "Not like that I mean, I mean, I know you have your.. companion, and uhm, anyway nice to see you again friend. Right then." A crimson hue appears in Thothwicks cheeks, and - despite the severity of the situation they find themselves in - he laughs, and whimsically responds. "Not to mention, my dear Lady, I am like old enough to have fathered you!" Quote

Thothwick beats back a few of them hopefully, but he soon meets the same fate. Nyx stumbles back and trips over the frozen Poletad, his eyes still barely darting below the ice, but of course he is freezing slowly... Zee steps forth. "I have no reason to show you mercy. You will perish with the rest. We will all die when Zoot comes, and Olegia will burn in ice and fire and electricity, as has been foretold. We are all just tools." Zee raises her staff, ready to slam it into Nyx's stomach, but a voice rings out. "Stop!" Nyx and Zee both glance over, and walking slowly and calmly over the field are two faces- ones Nyx recognizes, though Zee cannot and does not. "We've been sent for a parlay." "A parlay? Who are you who speaks to me thus?! Who orders me to stop?" Zee shrieks. "I am Sphinx. Once I served a greater God than this Zoot, but that God chose to no longer walk Olegia. It was the will of the Chimera that he should not grace us with his presence. Everything happens as it should, though that made me very sad." Sphinx picks up Poletad and breaths on him. The ice melts away and the little frog gives a shudder. "I'm XX." XX leans down to Nyx and whispers. "Again, my fiery lady? We've gotta stop this habit. Cover your eyes, close your eyes, and hope for the best, same as last time." XX stands up and wheels on Zee. "Also, by parlay, we meant more a hostage exchange." "You have no hostage." Sphinx places Poletad gently next to Nyx and smiles sadly at her as well. "Where is your Barbarian friend? You must take better care of yourself if you're going to kill Wren." "Well, yeah, this is the part where we collect the hostage." XX claps his hands and suddenly the ground is afire and so is the sky. Nyx's ears can't hear a thing except ringing and then her vision blurs and she is lost. ... Some time later, no way to tell how long, the party begins to groggily awaken. Poletad croaks mournfully. The ground is pock-marked and dirt still hangs in the air like a veil. They glance around and see no one. Edited January 14, 2013 by Zepher Quote

CMP Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Atramor cracked his eyes open, and found himself staring at a tombstone. After a minute or two of it, he finally garnered the strength to sit up. He didn't need to look around to get an idea of what'd happened. He got to his feet, shaking some dirt off his cloak, and wordlessly healed everyone at the cost of 5 ether. McCafferey's beady eyes flickered between all of them, but she remained silent as well. "...Sorry, mates," he mumbled at last, retrieving the weapons he'd dropped from nearby. He felt exponentially weaker; whether it was a result of the crushing defeat or because of the brew's effects dissipating, he was unsure. Edited January 14, 2013 by CallMePie Quote
