"In that case, maybe you should keep that extra torch and let me hold the one that's already lit; I'll stay near the rear of the line. I mostly use my mental powers in fights and a torch might even come useful if I need to use pyrokinesis."

Having said that, Vinoh hands the unused torch back to Thantos and takes the lit one. He now holds a torch in his left hand and his club in his right hand. Now that he has some light, Vinoh surveys his surrounding and sees...

Overhearing the words spoken between the mage and the knight, D'Aleen moves over to address them...

"Hopefully the light cast by Goban's ring will illuminate enough for him to light the way for those at the front. I could carry your torch for you Thantos, but that would leave me without my bow ready. Perhaps Vinoh could carry it and I will take up mid position...these elf eyes of mine see well in the dim light."

edit....opppps! Sorry Bob - I missed your last post so I sorta doubled up here....great minds think alike though! Sorry all.

Gell shakes his head in amazement at the humans as he looks around their darkened surroundings. "You am small AND you am not see in dark? Me am glad you am have torches, or me and elf am making sure you am not bump into things." Gell chuckles at this thought, then stops as he remembers the sobering position they are all in. "So where am bad things? They am waiting for us at town, why they am not waiting for us now?" Gell's grip tightens on the Axe of Krom, feeling the power that it holds.

GoldenOuroboros · 06-17-2003, 02:50 PM

Darghon gets dragged back down to the ground by D'Aleen. Pulling his wings back inside of him. He follows the rest of the group inside the temple through the crack. Being able to see slightly in the darkness, he doesn't see much.

"Magic is so useful" and with that he conjuers forth a Globe of Daylight and has it hover just above the group.

Darghon looks around to see if there maybe any inscriptions or writings on the walls. He looks up at the ceiling to see what is above them. (OOC: Giant spiders are always fun

Trying to ignore the chatter behind him,the knight tries his best to watch for traps and pitfalls ahead.

redravin40 · 06-18-2003, 06:20 AM

Carefully scanning the walls, floor and ceiling Father Quadrial remembered back to his days as a tunnel rat.
He had spent a fair amount of his early teen years digging under the walls of castles and other fortifications.
He often wondered if that was why he had put on the weight so he wouldn'g be small enough to crawl into those dank holes.
At least here you could stand up.
While he appreciated the knight taking point, he had learned a long time ago that being in the middle wasn't always much safer.
The light provided by the torch and the wizards was comforting.
The only really distracting thing was the way the the new rosery was speaking to him.
Words of comfort none the less but he had never had objects talk to him before.
That and the elves butt was rather cute.

krazixs · 06-18-2003, 06:42 AM

ooc: I don't think I want to be THAT close to father Quadriel anymore lol

Krazixs stays near the center of the group as Father Quadriel takes a position a little ahead of him. The feel of the tunnel, seemed to bring up old memories and unpleasant thoughts. Something about this seemed familiar to the elf, he just couldn't put his finger on it.

rogue49 · 06-18-2003, 09:10 AM

* As the light shows your surroundings
You note that you are standing in a roughly 40-foot square room,
with a high dark ceiling with unlit lanterns above.
The floor is a white marble, dust & dirt cover it all over.
the walls are a dark stone.

A closed coffin stands on each side of the room, left & right.

On the other wall across from you is a staircase.
The wide steps ascend to a landing above flanked by 2 alcoves.
Within each alcove, standing the full 30-foot height of the ceiling,
is a bronze statue holding a spear.

A soft blue curtain of light flows between the two alcoves.
Dimly visible on the other side of the light curtain are more ascending stairs.*

Cubby · 06-18-2003, 02:07 PM

"Oh..this looks interesting", quips Thantos as he moves into the room.

"I see a few different possibilities here. Since we are dealing with horrible unspeakable evils here I'm thinking we should perhaps burn the two coffins or at least make sure they are empty before moving towards those statues. Can anyone see if there are inscriptions on or around the coffins that may give us a clue as to who or what is inside?"

Keeping an eye on the passage way they entered, Thantos waits inside and to the left of the passageway in case anything follows them in or shoots into the room.

GoldenOuroboros · 06-18-2003, 10:58 PM

"Good idea thantos" Darghon looks at the coffins from a distance.. "hrmm" he thinks to himself as he looks closer to the coffin bringin the globe of daylight closer to himself and readying the hilt in his hand just in case of trouble.

He sees on the coffin..

rogue49 · 06-19-2003, 05:15 AM

*The coffin is an ebony stone,
with a unknown bronze symbol in front*

redravin40 · 06-19-2003, 06:10 AM

"You know I can raise the dead?
"Well not really raise the dead but I can sort of help the almost dead.
But not very often."
The rosery was starting to be annoying so Father Quadrial kept focused on the way the bow and quiver bounced up and down on the female elfs behind.
"I'm very powerful.
There is nothing that can hurt you now.
Well maybe trolls, or ogres. And the undead I can't protect you too much there. Oh yea, and the really big monsters can't help you there. But if it's a little monster...."
As the party entered the room the stones around his neck went silent for a moment then started up again.
"Evil, theres a whole bunch of evil. It's right over there. Over to the left....no my left. I mean I think there's evil. Sort of."

krazixs · 06-19-2003, 06:44 AM

Huddling in the middle of the group Krazixs is feeling very uneasy. "There's evil here, great evil. . ." colors, flashes of light permeat in the elf's mind ". . .it's everywhere. . ."

Bob Biter · 06-19-2003, 07:59 AM

As his companions check out the coffins, Vinoh heads for the blueish veil that seems to be barring the way up.

"Hmmm... maybe this is some kind of magic barrier. Sometimes, barriers are connected to guardians, which must be defeated to open them. Otherwise, magic or a special mechanism must be used."

Vinoh inspects the immediate area around the barrier, looking for anything that might be connected to it.

Minx · 06-19-2003, 08:10 AM

(occ...lol redravin, for a while I was worried you were admiring krazixs ass!

)

Entering the dim room D'Aleen looks around, taking in the statues and the two coffins. She watches as Darghon steps closer to the one to try to makes sense of the markings on it. Feeling uneasy at the overwhelming presense of evil, she grasps her bow, sliding her fingers along the softness of the wood as she pulls it from across her back.

"Take care Darghon....there's not much hope we will be finding an ally in that sarcophagus...not in this place, I wouldn't think."

"Vinoh you are most likely correct....we will have to find a way to open those coffins if that is the case." Letting her eyes travel the full height of the enormous bronze statues, she mumers to herself "I certainly hope those aren't going to come to life...."

Cubby · 06-19-2003, 08:13 AM

Glancing over his shoulder at the Darghon and the rest of the company, Thantos notices the Father's staring gaze. Responding to Darghon he says..

"Stone? Damn. That makes it a bunch more difficult to burn the coffins...anyone want to try opening them or should we just let them lie and move on? Can anyone actually sense the source of evil that we are here to remove or is it just to cleanse this entire place? If we have to cleanse this place we may as well start with coffin number one!

Oh, and Father, can you have a look at the symbol and see if it means anything to you. With your vows of celibacy you must have had plenty of time for studying ancient texts, especially those related to the unholy."

krazixs · 06-19-2003, 08:20 AM

Krazixs turns to regard the rest of the group, "There is evil here, make not mistake, it inhabits everything around us." looking around the small elf shivers "It's too much I can't pinpoint anything, it's everywhere."

forgotten_dream · 06-19-2003, 10:43 PM

Gell looks cautiously at the huge statues, waiting for some sign of life. Then he looks to the coffins in similar fashion, but quickly looses interest as neither seem to show any signs of being much of an opponent. "You am not sure which one to worry about? Me am not worried. Me am pick up statue and hit dead thing with it, take care of both!"

GoldenOuroboros · 06-19-2003, 11:54 PM

(OOC: Cubby I almost cracked withs Thatos' comment to Father Quadrial, good one!

)

"But is it something we have to defeat..?" Darghon takes a cautious step back from the coffin "Or something we have to open..? Say a key to a lock" Darghon grins.. "mmm, I love puzzles"

Darghon looks around for a loose stone "Hrmm.." He looks at Vinoh "What you reckon? If there is a guardian, maybe whatever it is needs to be woken up" Darghon flicks the stone up and down in his hand...

Apokx · 06-20-2003, 03:54 AM

"Don't do any rash-or stupid.Check the other possiblites before any throwing of stones or opening of coffins...Unless you really want to,which in that case,I'll be in the hallway."

redravin40 · 06-20-2003, 06:38 AM

Father Quadrail looks closely at the symbols.
"Nothing I recognize, maybe a long dead language."
"I can read any language. Well not that one but just about all others. Not Orkish that too simple. And not elven ths..." the necklace whisped.

Cubby · 06-20-2003, 07:57 AM

(OOC: Golden..glad to bring a smile..I try my best.

)

Hearing the arguments for and against Thantos adds...

"I agree with Apokx here but I don't know what else to do. I'm kinda for backing up to a defensible position and trying to pass something through the blue curtain of light. I may be wrong but I'm hoping that the stone coffins' lids are heavy enough to keep anything in them, inside. I think if we open them we may be opening Pandora's box. Perhaps opening the coffin triggers the statues or moving through the curtain of light, or heck there could be trigger stones on the floor. Or, we could be reading too much into all of this and this could be just a room.

I say we back into the tunnel a little and then toss a rock through the curtain of light. But before that I would suggest that Darghon or Vinoh fly up to the lantern/chandelier with the torch Vinoh has and lights the lantern. Light often helps to combat the forces of darkness."

Minx · 06-20-2003, 09:37 AM

Nodding her head after hearing the knight's idea, D'Aleen speaks up...

"I think Thantos is right on this one. We will have enough to deal with without setting free whatever is in those coffins. I say if we can pass through the light without being harmed let's press on and get to the heart of this.

If we find we need to open the caskets in order to pass through, well then so be it....we can deal with it once we know for certain."

Bob Biter · 06-20-2003, 10:19 AM

"Good plan, Thantos. I'll go light the lanterns."

Vinoh then focuses his will, flies up to the nearest lantern and attempts to light it with his torch.

rogue49 · 06-20-2003, 12:57 PM

Vinoh:
* There is no mechanism that seems to be emitting the veil.
It is ending on both side into the center of each statue.

With the light coming from your party's magic within the room you're in,
You can dimly see the wide stairwell ascend straight into a much larger room
with column-like structures that seem to come out of the floor.

After this, when you attempt to light some of the lanterns,
the wicks are so aged that there is no way a natural light
will be coming from them until they are replaced. *

Minx · 06-20-2003, 01:41 PM

Watching Vinoh's attempt to light the lanterns fail, the elf unconsciously plucks the tight sinew of the bow in her hands.

Feeling a slight tremor shiver through the wood, she glances curiously at the weapon and notices the jewelled tip glimmering with a soft, warm light.

Suddenly the elf feels a soft glow flow through her body and a feeling of hope overwhelm her....she closes her eyes to hear a gentle voice whispering from the corners of her mind. Suddenly snapping open her eyes, she strides past her comrades and places herself a distance from the veil of light.

Without hesitation she stands firm and draws back on the bow aiming directly at the light. A bright light flows from the weapon, enveloping the elf. An incredible shaft of pure energy can be seen as, with a prayer, D'Aleen lets it fly right into the heart of the blue veil.

With a soft cry she shields her eyes from the startling myraid of colors that explodes when the shaft touches the mysterious barrier......hoping against hope her instincts are right, she raises her eyes.....

(occ...Rogue you decide now! To the others....had a hunch and had to act on it!!!)

rockzilla · 06-20-2003, 03:09 PM

Having felt uneasy from the moment he set foot in the room, Goban notices D'Aleen walk toward the barrier, it only takes an instant for him to realize what she has planned. Instinctively, he grabs his sword, and shields his eyes from the shower of light, listening for any sign that she may have woken something up.

Attrah watched dumbfounded and steps into the hallway.
"Here we go."

rogue49 · 06-20-2003, 05:31 PM

* The blue-white energy arrow pierces the blue viel with no resistance,
passing through with speed on into the other side.
There you see it's trail through the hazy view follow through
to finally hit the ceiling in the great room at the top of the stairs
and burst into a flash of light.

All of a sudden you see a flurry of blurred activity on the other side.
The ceiling of the great room seems to be moving.
Many dark spots en masse move with speed.
Part of the moving mass comes towards the blue veil.

And through the viel with no hesitation comes HUNDREDS of bats!

The echoes of the squeeking is deafening & confusing
Flying around your room with no direction
Flying in your face, flying around your bodies
Some trying to bite you in flight
A few are even landing on you to have some lunch.
Everything is now a blur of black flapping mammals who like blood. *

redravin40 · 06-20-2003, 06:30 PM

"Bats, bats, I hate bats."
"Shut up unless your going to damn well help."
"Well that's a fine way talk to a finely made source of powerful magic. Just for that I'm not going to help."
Father Quadrial doesn't have time to respond to the necklace but the anger he feels comes out in the slashing moves he makes with his staff.
Trails of light burn through the massed black wings.
Moving towards the other members of the part he tries to signal them to stand back to back.
"We must create a circle that they can't penetrate." the monk bellows against the squeaking, chittering and flapping leather wings.

Minx · 06-20-2003, 10:04 PM

(ooc....bats....uh huh Argh!)

D'Aleen groans at what she has raised and thinks to herself it would have been better to open the coffins.

With no time to react and having released the horde upon her companions she pulls her dagger from her side and, muttering every elvin curse know to her, backs up and starts slashing at the creatures.

GoldenOuroboros · 06-21-2003, 12:19 AM

Darghon groans slightly at the on coming bats... "Damn it.." Darghon casts 'Fiery Touch' An invisible fiery aura surronds Darghon. Any bat touching him is burned as if it had just flown into a fire. He moves his globe of daylight around to fend off the bats as well.

When the bats finally go he looks at D'Aleen and says "Where is your magic elf?" Raising an eyebrow and a hand he clicks his fingers and casts ignite, igniting the wicks above in the lanterns.

Bob Biter · 06-21-2003, 12:26 PM

Still aloft when the bats attack, Vinoh feels his telekinetic hold slipping. Since fighting on the ground with the others is a much better strategy, the mind mage lands and hold the torch in front of him. It's been a long time since he used his mind to harness pyrokinetics, but he would do it now, and with style!

Instead of just fueling the flame of his torch mentally, Vinoh decides to be creative and use his body and an outlet. He takes a deep breath, his mind focusing on the torch and blows straight into the flame, towards a large group of bats. He then sways from left to right to cut a wide swat through the winged little devils, while being careful not to harm his teammates.

Minx · 06-21-2003, 03:40 PM

"I choose to not commune with the servents of the dark side Darghon."

D'Aleen said as she kept an eye on Vinoh as his flame wiped out hordes of bats.

forgotten_dream · 06-21-2003, 09:10 PM

As D'Aleen shoots toward the magical barrier, Gell jumps to the side, instinctively recalling several orcen arrows that had been returned to their sender by similar magic. Instead of an arrow however, a dark cloud rushes back at the party of adventurers instead. Gell howls as his head is enveloped by a dark cloud of bats, and he swats furiously at them in an animalistic panic. He flails his arms furiously as he stumbles across the room, only able to hit a few with his limited batting range. He feels his hands touch something large and flat, and Gell yanks the lid off of one of the coffins and promptly flattens the flying scourge with it, realizing only afterwards what he holds in his hand. Gell looks sincerely apologetic as he glances toward the others, then snarls and grasps his axe as he turns to see what he may have released.

Apokx · 06-22-2003, 12:14 AM

Attrah watches as the situation goes from bad,to possibly worse.

The knight simply simply waits,and hopes that the coffin is empty.

GoldenOuroboros · 06-22-2003, 12:20 AM

"D'Aleen, magic doesn't involve talking to the dark ones... You are an elementalist are you not? You use magic that is entwined with the elements as I do. Did you not summon the horses? What do you think your bow uses every time you pull back on on it and the telekinetic arrow 'just appears'..." Hearing the lid being torn off off one of the coffins, D'Arghon looks straight over towards it to see what has been released. "So be ready to use what ever gifts Nature gave you Elf.."

rogue49 · 06-22-2003, 05:13 AM

* You all see a skeleton collapse to the floor in cloud of dust
after the lid is pulled off with force,
in this coffin...

However, even though serious damage is being done by Vinoh's flame wave,
and some "batted" around by the stone coffin lid.
The bats are further excited by all of this,
the panic & chaos increases.
The shreaking impossibly gets even worse.
They attack you in fear & anger even more.
Some even attaching themselves to you.*

You cannot hear, you cannot see
Concentration is almost impossible.

forgotten_dream · 06-22-2003, 06:51 AM

As the bat's continue to flow out of the passageway, Gell swings frantically with the stone lid at the winged beasts, vainly hoping to be rid of them. None of the humans seem to have any new strategy to rid the room of the bats, and Gell thinks back to his days as a young orc in training to become a warrior.
"Now gunk, what you am do in fight?"
"When you am in fight, you am smash first and think later!"
"You am not think later! You am smash, then you am eat!"
"Ok, you am smash first and EAT later! When you am think?"
"You am orc! You no am think!"
As the memory faded, Gell realized his training in orc strategy was useless. Stupid flying things! They am making it hard to think! They am puny, but am hard to squish- like bug! This thought then jarred loose a second memory from the orc's smallish mind, this time of his mother.
"You am put rock back when you am come in cave! You am let in stupid bugs that am hard to squish!"
Figuring this second bit of advice might be more useful than the first, Gell pressed the lid against the entrance to the tunnel that the bats were coming through, hoping to stem the flow of the biting vermin.

"Hmmm... maybe this is some kind of magic barrier. Sometimes, barriers are connected to guardians, which must be defeated to open them. Otherwise, magic or a special mechanism must be used." Vinoh inspects the immediate area around the barrier, looking for anything that might be connected to it. __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	(occ...lol redravin, for a while I was worried you were admiring krazixs ass! ) Entering the dim room D'Aleen looks around, taking in the statues and the two coffins. She watches as Darghon steps closer to the one to try to makes sense of the markings on it. Feeling uneasy at the overwhelming presense of evil, she grasps her bow, sliding her fingers along the softness of the wood as she pulls it from across her back. "Take care Darghon....there's not much hope we will be finding an ally in that sarcophagus...not in this place, I wouldn't think." "Vinoh you are most likely correct....we will have to find a way to open those coffins if that is the case." Letting her eyes travel the full height of the enormous bronze statues, she mumers to herself "I certainly hope those aren't going to come to life...." __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

Cubby Insane Location: BC, Canada	Glancing over his shoulder at the Darghon and the rest of the company, Thantos notices the Father's staring gaze. Responding to Darghon he says.. "Stone? Damn. That makes it a bunch more difficult to burn the coffins...anyone want to try opening them or should we just let them lie and move on? Can anyone actually sense the source of evil that we are here to remove or is it just to cleanse this entire place? If we have to cleanse this place we may as well start with coffin number one! Oh, and Father, can you have a look at the symbol and see if it means anything to you. With your vows of celibacy you must have had plenty of time for studying ancient texts, especially those related to the unholy." __________________ Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted!

krazixs Psycho Location: courtin in the kitchen	Krazixs turns to regard the rest of the group, "There is evil here, make not mistake, it inhabits everything around us." looking around the small elf shivers "It's too much I can't pinpoint anything, it's everywhere." __________________ The Kender in your party has just screamed in fear.

forgotten_dream Psycho	Gell looks cautiously at the huge statues, waiting for some sign of life. Then he looks to the coffins in similar fashion, but quickly looses interest as neither seem to show any signs of being much of an opponent. "You am not sure which one to worry about? Me am not worried. Me am pick up statue and hit dead thing with it, take care of both!" __________________ "A ouija board just works better if you've made it yourself.

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	(OOC: Cubby I almost cracked withs Thatos' comment to Father Quadrial, good one! ) "But is it something we have to defeat..?" Darghon takes a cautious step back from the coffin "Or something we have to open..? Say a key to a lock" Darghon grins.. "mmm, I love puzzles" Darghon looks around for a loose stone "Hrmm.." He looks at Vinoh "What you reckon? If there is a guardian, maybe whatever it is needs to be woken up" Darghon flicks the stone up and down in his hand... __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

redravin40 Loser Location: With Jadzia	Father Quadrail looks closely at the symbols. "Nothing I recognize, maybe a long dead language." "I can read any language. Well not that one but just about all others. Not Orkish that too simple. And not elven ths..." the necklace whisped.

Cubby Insane Location: BC, Canada	(OOC: Golden..glad to bring a smile..I try my best. ) Hearing the arguments for and against Thantos adds... "I agree with Apokx here but I don't know what else to do. I'm kinda for backing up to a defensible position and trying to pass something through the blue curtain of light. I may be wrong but I'm hoping that the stone coffins' lids are heavy enough to keep anything in them, inside. I think if we open them we may be opening Pandora's box. Perhaps opening the coffin triggers the statues or moving through the curtain of light, or heck there could be trigger stones on the floor. Or, we could be reading too much into all of this and this could be just a room. I say we back into the tunnel a little and then toss a rock through the curtain of light. But before that I would suggest that Darghon or Vinoh fly up to the lantern/chandelier with the torch Vinoh has and lights the lantern. Light often helps to combat the forces of darkness." __________________ Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted!

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	Nodding her head after hearing the knight's idea, D'Aleen speaks up... "I think Thantos is right on this one. We will have enough to deal with without setting free whatever is in those coffins. I say if we can pass through the light without being harmed let's press on and get to the heart of this. If we find we need to open the caskets in order to pass through, well then so be it....we can deal with it once we know for certain." __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

Bob Biter Non-smokers die everyday Location: Montreal	"Good plan, Thantos. I'll go light the lanterns." Vinoh then focuses his will, flies up to the nearest lantern and attempts to light it with his torch. __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

rogue49 Loser	Vinoh: * There is no mechanism that seems to be emitting the veil. It is ending on both side into the center of each statue. With the light coming from your party's magic within the room you're in, You can dimly see the wide stairwell ascend straight into a much larger room with column-like structures that seem to come out of the floor. After this, when you attempt to light some of the lanterns, the wicks are so aged that there is no way a natural light will be coming from them until they are replaced. * Last edited by rogue49; 06-20-2003 at 01:00 PM..

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	Watching Vinoh's attempt to light the lanterns fail, the elf unconsciously plucks the tight sinew of the bow in her hands. Feeling a slight tremor shiver through the wood, she glances curiously at the weapon and notices the jewelled tip glimmering with a soft, warm light. Suddenly the elf feels a soft glow flow through her body and a feeling of hope overwhelm her....she closes her eyes to hear a gentle voice whispering from the corners of her mind. Suddenly snapping open her eyes, she strides past her comrades and places herself a distance from the veil of light. Without hesitation she stands firm and draws back on the bow aiming directly at the light. A bright light flows from the weapon, enveloping the elf. An incredible shaft of pure energy can be seen as, with a prayer, D'Aleen lets it fly right into the heart of the blue veil. With a soft cry she shields her eyes from the startling myraid of colors that explodes when the shaft touches the mysterious barrier......hoping against hope her instincts are right, she raises her eyes..... (occ...Rogue you decide now! To the others....had a hunch and had to act on it!!!) __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

rockzilla Junkie Location: The Kitchen	Having felt uneasy from the moment he set foot in the room, Goban notices D'Aleen walk toward the barrier, it only takes an instant for him to realize what she has planned. Instinctively, he grabs his sword, and shields his eyes from the shower of light, listening for any sign that she may have woken something up.

rogue49 Loser	* The blue-white energy arrow pierces the blue viel with no resistance, passing through with speed on into the other side. There you see it's trail through the hazy view follow through to finally hit the ceiling in the great room at the top of the stairs and burst into a flash of light. All of a sudden you see a flurry of blurred activity on the other side. The ceiling of the great room seems to be moving. Many dark spots en masse move with speed. Part of the moving mass comes towards the blue veil. And through the viel with no hesitation comes HUNDREDS of bats! The echoes of the squeeking is deafening & confusing Flying around your room with no direction Flying in your face, flying around your bodies Some trying to bite you in flight A few are even landing on you to have some lunch. Everything is now a blur of black flapping mammals who like blood. *

redravin40 Loser Location: With Jadzia	"Bats, bats, I hate bats." "Shut up unless your going to damn well help." "Well that's a fine way talk to a finely made source of powerful magic. Just for that I'm not going to help." Father Quadrial doesn't have time to respond to the necklace but the anger he feels comes out in the slashing moves he makes with his staff. Trails of light burn through the massed black wings. Moving towards the other members of the part he tries to signal them to stand back to back. "We must create a circle that they can't penetrate." the monk bellows against the squeaking, chittering and flapping leather wings.

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	(ooc....bats....uh huh Argh!) D'Aleen groans at what she has raised and thinks to herself it would have been better to open the coffins. With no time to react and having released the horde upon her companions she pulls her dagger from her side and, muttering every elvin curse know to her, backs up and starts slashing at the creatures. __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	Darghon groans slightly at the on coming bats... "Damn it.." Darghon casts 'Fiery Touch' An invisible fiery aura surronds Darghon. Any bat touching him is burned as if it had just flown into a fire. He moves his globe of daylight around to fend off the bats as well. When the bats finally go he looks at D'Aleen and says "Where is your magic elf?" Raising an eyebrow and a hand he clicks his fingers and casts ignite, igniting the wicks above in the lanterns. __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

Bob Biter Non-smokers die everyday Location: Montreal	Still aloft when the bats attack, Vinoh feels his telekinetic hold slipping. Since fighting on the ground with the others is a much better strategy, the mind mage lands and hold the torch in front of him. It's been a long time since he used his mind to harness pyrokinetics, but he would do it now, and with style! Instead of just fueling the flame of his torch mentally, Vinoh decides to be creative and use his body and an outlet. He takes a deep breath, his mind focusing on the torch and blows straight into the flame, towards a large group of bats. He then sways from left to right to cut a wide swat through the winged little devils, while being careful not to harm his teammates. __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	"I choose to not commune with the servents of the dark side Darghon." D'Aleen said as she kept an eye on Vinoh as his flame wiped out hordes of bats. __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!
