Darghons quick reflexes kick in and he grabs Vinoh and Krazixs out of the way of the fire.. "Damn devil horse..." Darghon looks at Vinoh.. "Nothing good can come from this place.. all of it is possessed and drenched with evil.."

Darghon grabs the hilt to his light blade and activates it.. looking left and right he grins slightly.. "We ready boys? Lets tame that beast..."

Apokx · 06-26-2003, 09:49 PM

OOC: I try to use my blackguard ability to summons mounts on the beast.Im trying to make it my personal mount.

krazixs · 06-27-2003, 06:44 AM

As the black horse of nightmare launches itself fromt the crypt Krazixs is flung out of the way by Darghon, slamming into the crypt behind him his head rebounding off the ancient stone, stars swimming in the small elf's vision. Looking up he makes eye contact with the demon horse and instinct beyond his recognition takes over Krazixs' actions. Without thinking several spells are uttered in a matter of seconds and Krazixs' being is enveloped in holy light. His cumbersome staff is now glowing with a white nimbus and held like a two handed sword in front of the elf. Muttering one last spell the tomb is instantly filled with a incadesecnt almost blinding light. In some dark corner of Krazixs' mind his conscience is wondering what in heavans is happening.

ooc: ok rogue up to you

Bob Biter · 06-27-2003, 08:24 AM

"Wonderful. I guess I should listen to my instincts next time."

Vinoh quickly gathers himself and watches in shock as Krazixs seems ready to rumble. With Darghon also set to fight, Vinoh gets up and concentrates. He gathers the electromagnetic force inside and around him, preparing a powerful mind bolt.

Releasing this surge of energy on the beast, the mind mage readies himself to hurl his club at the horse's head as a follow up attack, if needed.

redravin40 · 06-27-2003, 06:51 PM

Seeing his companians being bowled over by the black stallion, Father Quadrial raises the tiny bit of amber and casts it at the nightmare.
Praying fervently that he didn't throw his strongest weapon away the monk watches as it arcs throught the air.
The sliver of wood inside the amber begins to glow.
On the tip is a reddish brown drop of blood.

GoldenOuroboros · 06-28-2003, 12:20 AM

Darghon feels the surge of magical energies near him.. he holds himself for what may come next, gripping the hilt on his sword. He stares at the steed "Well vagrant beast reborn as a feverish night mare... Let thee be thy tamer..." He says as he lowers his head slightly readying himself.

rockzilla · 06-28-2003, 02:16 PM

Uttering a few very colourful curses as he unsheathes his sword and sprints towards the fight. He stops short as the father launches his attack, hoping that it will give him an opening to attack, if not dispatch the beast outright. Searching his mind for a witty one-liner, Goban draws a blank and settles for an even more colorful stream of curses directed at the Nightmare.

(OOC : I'm assuming Thantos will want to follow my lead, since he's gone for the weekend)

GoldenOuroboros · 06-28-2003, 11:42 PM

Telepathic message to the group while standing on guard in front of the horse.. 'Quiet my friends... don't forget about the bats"

Minx · 06-29-2003, 06:43 AM

D'Aleen spins around at the blinding flash of light and commotion coming from the crypts they had left. "Oh well, at least we know we have an exit of sorts" she thinks to herself as she sprints back down the hallway after Goban.

"Come on Thantos...looks like we're needed elsewhere!"

Sliding to a halt, she is just in time to take in the horror attacking the group and see the Father hurl his amber straight at the beast. Readying her bow, she waits to see the outcome of the combined magic forces...

forgotten_dream · 06-30-2003, 01:24 AM

Lost in a sudden blur of spells and attacks, Gell is confused for a moment as his fellows attack the horse. Quickly regaining his bearings he steps out of the way of the spellcasters efforts and looks to Goban as he waits for an opening for the warriors to launch their own assault on the beast.

rogue49 · 06-30-2003, 08:19 AM

* The Nightmare's rage seems to be distracted for a moment,
and turns it's head briefly towards Attrah.
But suddenly almost at the same moment,
a blinding light surges from Krazitz, seemingly searing the Nightmare,
and sending it screaming in pain & rage again.

The Father's amber piece arcs towards the beast,
only in a unbelievable moment of misfortune,
has it deflected right off the hard flaming hoof of the mare as it rears in pain,
and bouncing back right to the cleric's feet.
And Vinoh's mind bolt doesn't seem to affect the beast from the hells.

The acrid smoke which is choking you and making it difficult to see,
also seems to be pushing back the multitudes of bats.

The both Darghon & Gell seem to be holding themselves in check
to see if their allies magics will fell this hellish beast,
but it looks like strong arms are going to have to do the job after all.

The beast kicks out at them both with it's back hooves,
fortunately just grazing Darghon.
This places the beast slightly off-balance, while it's trying to sink it's fangs into Krazits,
missing with a NASH!! of its black teeth.

Goban, D'Aleen & Thantos are able to make ground quickly.
But as they turn the corner and run down the walkway,
they see smoking chaos in front of them.
The cloud of acrid smoke billows toward you and your sight cannot place your allies well.
Flame and darkness is what you see in a glimpse.

It's breath is burning your lungs. *

krazixs · 06-30-2003, 08:51 AM

The hot breath bathes Krazixs' face and the nightmare's teeth come within inches of his head. As the foul demon horse rears on it's back legs the elf notices the fathers charm get deflected, and the warriors waiting for an opening. Krazixs prepares to distract the beast in hopes of giving the others an opening to attack. He didn't think he'd be able to hold this beast long. The hell beast again screams and pitches forward hoping to catch the small elf with it's flaming hooves. All the while a voice in the back of his head gibbering madly at the insanity of what he was doing, but instinct had taken over now, and Krazixs is what he once was. Seeing it rear up again gives Krazixs all the opening he needs as he grasps his imbued staff with both hands and shoves it point up underneath the chest of the horse, pinning it up, it's churning hooves inches from Krazixs face.

"I can't hold him long, hurry!"

Bob Biter · 06-30-2003, 01:24 PM

Seeing that any mind manipulation tricks have no effect, Vinoh decides to make use once again of the blue crystal hovering around his head. Concentrating, the mind mage focuses his thoughts on it, as it starts to glow and centre itself in front of him.

Feeling incredibly empowered, Vinoh rears back and attempts to strike the nightmare with all of his mystical might between its eyes with his reinforced scout's club, hoping to kill it or at least stun it long enough for his companions to finish it off.

GoldenOuroboros · 06-30-2003, 01:54 PM

Darghon feeling the graze he has received from the beast, thank fully his bio regeneration from his dragon side has already started to heal.. it will take a while but not as long.

Thinking and hoping this hellish beast maybe immune to fire, he hopes that it will receive a mightier blow from the cold. He casts 'Shards of Ice' Pointing his palm towards the Night mare, a razor sharp shard of ice fires from the palm of his hand.. (OOC: Rogue

) He readies himself for the next shard, holding his still active LightBlade in his other hand in a defensive pose.

Jinger · 06-30-2003, 02:21 PM

(OOC: Cubby here..back from Vegas with a much lighter wallet

)

Rounding the corner of the crypt just behind Goban and D'Aleen, they run right into a cloud of smoke. Having only glimpsed what looked like a horse on fire, Thantos isn't quite sure what is going on. He only knows that his lungs are burning with the effort of breathing through the smoke.

Grabbing D'Aleen and Goban by their packs he pulls them back to the edge of the billows of smoke.

"We can't get at them from this direction, we'd never make it through the smoke, let's try to move around a few of these tombs and try to pull out our friends out of the fire. D'Aleen, I thought I saw a horse on fire down there. Was I mistaken? If so, can you reach out to it and try to help it through the pain of the fire? Goban, did you happen to see what was attacking our friends? "

With that, Thantos moves left (looking at the fight in the corner of the room) down the first corridor he finds while backing away from smoke. He then turns right at the next intersection that isn't filled with smoke and begins to move towards the fight.

krazixs · 06-30-2003, 02:39 PM

Krazixs was having a hard time breathing, smoke and dust stung his eyes. The beast struggling above him was screaming in pain further enraging it. Krazixs was losing strength fast his self shielding wasn't going to hold as long as he had keep the power flowing into his staff also. . . where were the others?

Apokx · 06-30-2003, 05:23 PM

Realizing that controlling a beast this magnificent would have to wait for another day,the knight readies himself for battle.

Seeing a wavering in Krazixs' power,the knight rushes forward to place his shield and himself between the steed's body and Krazixs'.

The knight simply concentrates on defense,using his sword to parry if possible.

"Krazixs,try to fall back."

krazixs · 06-30-2003, 08:15 PM

Krazixs looks up to the Knight gratefully, gathering his remaining strength the elf gives a great surge of power throwing the creature back enough for him to escape. Staggering a few feet away Krazixs gulps down air and feels as if his body is at the point of exhaustion. Reaching down within himself once more Krazixs casts a spell of strength on the dark knight and then falls to his hands and knees in exhaustion. . .

redravin40 · 06-30-2003, 08:52 PM

Swearing in five different languages (two dead for a century) the rotund monk grabs the piece of amber.
Yanking the necklace from around his neck, Father Quadrial wraps it around the haft of his staff.
Despite the faint complaints of the 'finely crafted source of great magical power' the monk points his now brightly glowing staff like a lance and charges the nightmare.
His last thought is, "Dad, don't let this be the stupidest thing I will ever do for the rest of my life."

rogue49 · 07-01-2003, 12:34 PM

* Not realizing that part of Krazixs exhaustion
was a graze to his forehead by one of the front hooves
while he had been holding the beast with his staff
when it reared up.

It is pressed back by Attrah and his shield,
right into the oncoming charge of the Father.
Trapped between the herding of the dark knight
and the pain of the holy symbol in it's flank.
It is not able to get an attack
for an instant...*

Apokx · 07-01-2003, 12:40 PM

"Now is our chance! Attack quickly!"

The knight continues to stand between the steed and his companions.

krazixs · 07-01-2003, 01:57 PM

Kneeling in exhaustion, Krazixs feels a trickle of blood run down his face. The horses flaming hooves must have grazed him. A warm feeling was spreading to the area, Krazixs feels the power of the amulet take hold cleansing him of the poison and sickness already beginning to fester. Feeling a bit sickly the elf gets shakily to his knees vertigo spinning his vision around. Wondering if the amulet had power enough to cleanse the wound completely, Krazixs waits for the others to attack.

GoldenOuroboros · 07-01-2003, 04:45 PM

Darghon fires another volley of Ice Shards at the Devils Steed..

Bob Biter · 07-01-2003, 06:07 PM

Vinoh maintains his efforts to bludgeon the beast with his club and the strength boost provided by his amulet.

rogue49 · 07-02-2003, 07:39 AM

* With the dark stallion screaming
and trapped between pain & pressure of the Father's symboled lance & Attrah's shield.
Darghon's volleys of ice rip into the beast repeatedly.
Vinoh's pounding on it's spine
And final slash of Gell's black axe.

It roars a last flaming belch into the air,
and the Nightmare fades.
The great figure before you collapses into heap of ash.
Only the choking smoke of its breath left behind. *

Minx · 07-02-2003, 07:54 AM

D'Aleen feels herself pulled back from the smothering wall of smoke that is somehow coming from the nightmarish beast. Thinking there is no way she can tame a creature this blantantly evil she tries to see into the thick smoke to determine if further help is needed. Not being able to see her comrades makes it impossible to aid with her bow for the risk of hitting one of them is too great.

She prays their combined strength and magic powers will be enough to subdue this newest nightmare and heaves a sigh of relief as, through the thick smoke, she sees the devil horse let out a final cry at the assault upon it and fade into ash.

Moving over to Krazixs' side, she helps him to his feet, steadying him after his efforts to subdue the beast.

krazixs · 07-02-2003, 08:19 AM

Giving Minx a smile of gratitude Krazixs leans against the cool stone of the tomb trying to get his mind in order after the events that just occured.

Cubby · 07-02-2003, 08:57 AM

Running down the corridors near the battle, Thantos and his companions round a corner just in time to see the horse fall and disappear into ash. As D'Aleen attends to Krazixs, Thantos moves over to where the beast died, kicking through the ashes with his foot and looking around at the other combatants.

"Are you all unhurt? "

"What was that evil looking creature? Where did it come from?"

Minx · 07-02-2003, 11:18 AM

Thankful to see that Krazixs and all the others are relatively unharmed, D'Aleen frowns slightly and slowly surveys the group gathered there...catching their breath from the furious onslaught the others endured.

"Well...if we are to open every crypt and battle a beast or undead from hell...well, this shall prove to be a very long night my friends. I feel the source of evil does not lie here....but rather these are more the sentinels meant to guard. We must remember we are at the heart of where the evil that we all feel lies......I dare say none of these tombs we open will bring us any goodwill at all.
I can appreciate the need for any information we can gather to aid us but......"

Sighing slightly and then casting her eyes back down the direction of the passageway she, Thantos and Goban had just started to explore she debated the need for information at the risk of losing valuable members towards the need to move on and attack the heart of the evil.

"I suggest moving on or combining our efforts to examine each crypt. This past altercation should prove that perhaps we are not as all-mighty as we would like to think."

rockzilla · 07-02-2003, 12:14 PM

As the last of the smoke clears, Goban looks up to see if they've managed to avoid disturbing the bats any. He wasn't looking forward to getting any more bites.

"I'm not terribly interested in meeting any of the other pets that may be resting here. It won't do us any good to go up against the source of this evil having been beaten on by every ghost and monster in the place. We should save our strength for when we have no choice but to fight, we'll all live a little longer that way."

GoldenOuroboros · 07-02-2003, 02:08 PM

Darghon walks over near Krazixs and puts a hand on his shoulder. Looking down at him he smiles "Good work.." He then leans down to where the ashes of the beast are and says to them "Rest well foe.. you faught valiantly" He then gets up and turns around "Have some respect Thantos" and with that he starts walking "D'Aleen is right.. we will only find more troubles in these crypts, let us go and thwart the source of this evil.." Looking towards his friend Vinoh he nods and grins..

Cubby · 07-02-2003, 02:09 PM

"I agree with Goban and D'Aleen although I am a little interested to determine why the one tomb I looked at looked as though it had been freshly opened..uh..closed. There was no dust over the name plate and the plate looked newer than the others. I believe the inscription read something like: 'Patrina Velikovna: Bride'.

Perhaps this newer addition has not been tainted as much as these older ones? And it is near the exit we found. For those of you that don't know we found a set of stairs that go up next to a shaft. There is wind coming down from the shaft."

Apokx · 07-02-2003, 03:05 PM

With a look of dismay,the knight watched Sir Thantos kick through the ash of the wonderous beast.

With a last glance and a sigh,Attrah turned around.

"You want to open another tomb? If anything I would suggest making sure they DON'T open. Maybe Father Quadrial knows something that we can remedy these restless spirits with."

Cubby · 07-02-2003, 03:27 PM

Hearing Darghon's comments in regard to having respect for a foe, Thantos responds.

"I mean no dis-respect Darghon, but this was an evil creature that would have killed us all. He fought not for honour but through spite. Regardless, I am not trying to desecrate his final resting spot and it was not I that disturbed his rest to begin with. Instead I was attempting to see if anything dropped off of him that may be useful. With this fog it is difficult to see anything without creating a slight wind and even then you can only see for a second or two before more fog fills in the void.

Vinoh, I would suggest you search this tomb quickly so we can move on. "

GoldenOuroboros · 07-02-2003, 03:37 PM

"A fresh tomb you say thantos.. hrmm could be interesting.." Darghon looks down the way we came... "Do we open it or.." looking back at the group "Not risk it and take the stairs?"

Minx · 07-02-2003, 08:09 PM

"Darghon...the tomb Thantos speaks of is not far from the staircase we were to meet at. With a combined force we could open it but I for one will be a little uneasy at releasing a creature here when we have met nothing but foes so far. The lack of dust and cobwebs might just indicate the strength behind her is that much greater as she has not been resting as long as the others.

Yes,I believe that we should investigate but I cannot help but feel in my heart that the true peril and test for us lays at the top of this vault.

Let's go to the base of the staircase and we can decide from there whether we should open the newest of the vaults."

With that, D'Aleen shoulders her bow and slowly retraces her steps back down the passageway towards the staircase far ahead. Looking left and right at all the various crypts they were passing she could only pray that a few were resting at peace somehow in this awful place. To fight them all, if released, would be to fight an army of undead that even the bravest of them would not be able to survive.
Still...there can be no evil without it's counter balance...the good. Smiling to herself and trusting in the strength and heart of her companions she kept on...

GoldenOuroboros · 07-02-2003, 08:55 PM

Keeping up with Minx he says "Yes I think you are right... and the fact that the description has Bride on it can not be good" Darghon thinks as he follows closely behind D'Aleen.. "Bride.. Bridge of what? Bride of the Evil.." Darghon looks up and towards where the tomb is "If it is the bride of the evil.. then.. then whoever or whatever it is could be very powerful.. so we must be careful" Darghon nods slightly.

Bob Biter · 07-02-2003, 09:11 PM

Happy that the Nightmare has been subdued, Vinoh takes Thantos's cue and searches the crypt for anything useful. He is careful to keep his mental defenses up, lest the evil that permates this place finds a way into his mind or soul.

Overhearing the others talking, Vinoh responds:

"After our altercation with this happy little fellow, I think we should refrain from cracking open anymore crypts, no matter how new they look. This place is evil. I let my curiosity overtake me once and I won't let that happen again unless I'm very sure it's even worth it. I say we make our way up the stairs that D'Aleen, Thantos and Goban found before any more trouble finds us."

GoldenOuroboros · 07-02-2003, 10:00 PM

"mm yes, you are right in your opinion Vinoh" Darghon looks over his shoulder at Vinoh then forwards again

redravin40 · 07-03-2003, 01:50 AM

Father Quadrial is rather surprised to find himself still alive and wanders about a bit with a silly grin on his face.
Taking the amulet from around his staff he puts it back around his neck.
"Yes, could we please not open anymore tombs? There seem to be no end of things here that are happy to kill us without playing pop-goes-the-nightmare."
Keeping an eye on the bats he follows the rest of the party towards the stairs.

Feeling incredibly empowered, Vinoh rears back and attempts to strike the nightmare with all of his mystical might between its eyes with his reinforced scout's club, hoping to kill it or at least stun it long enough for his companions to finish it off. __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	Darghon feeling the graze he has received from the beast, thank fully his bio regeneration from his dragon side has already started to heal.. it will take a while but not as long. Thinking and hoping this hellish beast maybe immune to fire, he hopes that it will receive a mightier blow from the cold. He casts 'Shards of Ice' Pointing his palm towards the Night mare, a razor sharp shard of ice fires from the palm of his hand.. (OOC: Rogue ) He readies himself for the next shard, holding his still active LightBlade in his other hand in a defensive pose. __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

Jinger Upright Location: Westcoast	(OOC: Cubby here..back from Vegas with a much lighter wallet ) Rounding the corner of the crypt just behind Goban and D'Aleen, they run right into a cloud of smoke. Having only glimpsed what looked like a horse on fire, Thantos isn't quite sure what is going on. He only knows that his lungs are burning with the effort of breathing through the smoke. Grabbing D'Aleen and Goban by their packs he pulls them back to the edge of the billows of smoke. "We can't get at them from this direction, we'd never make it through the smoke, let's try to move around a few of these tombs and try to pull out our friends out of the fire. D'Aleen, I thought I saw a horse on fire down there. Was I mistaken? If so, can you reach out to it and try to help it through the pain of the fire? Goban, did you happen to see what was attacking our friends? " With that, Thantos moves left (looking at the fight in the corner of the room) down the first corridor he finds while backing away from smoke. He then turns right at the next intersection that isn't filled with smoke and begins to move towards the fight.

krazixs Psycho Location: courtin in the kitchen	Krazixs was having a hard time breathing, smoke and dust stung his eyes. The beast struggling above him was screaming in pain further enraging it. Krazixs was losing strength fast his self shielding wasn't going to hold as long as he had keep the power flowing into his staff also. . . where were the others? __________________ The Kender in your party has just screamed in fear.

Apokx Yo dawg, I herd u like... Location: memes.	Realizing that controlling a beast this magnificent would have to wait for another day,the knight readies himself for battle. Seeing a wavering in Krazixs' power,the knight rushes forward to place his shield and himself between the steed's body and Krazixs'. The knight simply concentrates on defense,using his sword to parry if possible. "Krazixs,try to fall back."

krazixs Psycho Location: courtin in the kitchen	Krazixs looks up to the Knight gratefully, gathering his remaining strength the elf gives a great surge of power throwing the creature back enough for him to escape. Staggering a few feet away Krazixs gulps down air and feels as if his body is at the point of exhaustion. Reaching down within himself once more Krazixs casts a spell of strength on the dark knight and then falls to his hands and knees in exhaustion. . . __________________ The Kender in your party has just screamed in fear.

redravin40 Loser Location: With Jadzia	Swearing in five different languages (two dead for a century) the rotund monk grabs the piece of amber. Yanking the necklace from around his neck, Father Quadrial wraps it around the haft of his staff. Despite the faint complaints of the 'finely crafted source of great magical power' the monk points his now brightly glowing staff like a lance and charges the nightmare. His last thought is, "Dad, don't let this be the stupidest thing I will ever do for the rest of my life."

rogue49 Loser	* Not realizing that part of Krazixs exhaustion was a graze to his forehead by one of the front hooves while he had been holding the beast with his staff when it reared up. It is pressed back by Attrah and his shield, right into the oncoming charge of the Father. Trapped between the herding of the dark knight and the pain of the holy symbol in it's flank. It is not able to get an attack for an instant...*

krazixs Psycho Location: courtin in the kitchen	Kneeling in exhaustion, Krazixs feels a trickle of blood run down his face. The horses flaming hooves must have grazed him. A warm feeling was spreading to the area, Krazixs feels the power of the amulet take hold cleansing him of the poison and sickness already beginning to fester. Feeling a bit sickly the elf gets shakily to his knees vertigo spinning his vision around. Wondering if the amulet had power enough to cleanse the wound completely, Krazixs waits for the others to attack. __________________ The Kender in your party has just screamed in fear.

rogue49 Loser	* With the dark stallion screaming and trapped between pain & pressure of the Father's symboled lance & Attrah's shield. Darghon's volleys of ice rip into the beast repeatedly. Vinoh's pounding on it's spine And final slash of Gell's black axe. It roars a last flaming belch into the air, and the Nightmare fades. The great figure before you collapses into heap of ash. Only the choking smoke of its breath left behind. * Last edited by rogue49; 07-02-2003 at 07:42 AM..

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	D'Aleen feels herself pulled back from the smothering wall of smoke that is somehow coming from the nightmarish beast. Thinking there is no way she can tame a creature this blantantly evil she tries to see into the thick smoke to determine if further help is needed. Not being able to see her comrades makes it impossible to aid with her bow for the risk of hitting one of them is too great. She prays their combined strength and magic powers will be enough to subdue this newest nightmare and heaves a sigh of relief as, through the thick smoke, she sees the devil horse let out a final cry at the assault upon it and fade into ash. Moving over to Krazixs' side, she helps him to his feet, steadying him after his efforts to subdue the beast. __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

Cubby Insane Location: BC, Canada	Running down the corridors near the battle, Thantos and his companions round a corner just in time to see the horse fall and disappear into ash. As D'Aleen attends to Krazixs, Thantos moves over to where the beast died, kicking through the ashes with his foot and looking around at the other combatants. "Are you all unhurt? " "What was that evil looking creature? Where did it come from?" __________________ Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted!

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	Thankful to see that Krazixs and all the others are relatively unharmed, D'Aleen frowns slightly and slowly surveys the group gathered there...catching their breath from the furious onslaught the others endured. "Well...if we are to open every crypt and battle a beast or undead from hell...well, this shall prove to be a very long night my friends. I feel the source of evil does not lie here....but rather these are more the sentinels meant to guard. We must remember we are at the heart of where the evil that we all feel lies......I dare say none of these tombs we open will bring us any goodwill at all. I can appreciate the need for any information we can gather to aid us but......" Sighing slightly and then casting her eyes back down the direction of the passageway she, Thantos and Goban had just started to explore she debated the need for information at the risk of losing valuable members towards the need to move on and attack the heart of the evil. "I suggest moving on or combining our efforts to examine each crypt. This past altercation should prove that perhaps we are not as all-mighty as we would like to think." __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

rockzilla Junkie Location: The Kitchen	As the last of the smoke clears, Goban looks up to see if they've managed to avoid disturbing the bats any. He wasn't looking forward to getting any more bites. "I'm not terribly interested in meeting any of the other pets that may be resting here. It won't do us any good to go up against the source of this evil having been beaten on by every ghost and monster in the place. We should save our strength for when we have no choice but to fight, we'll all live a little longer that way."

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	Darghon walks over near Krazixs and puts a hand on his shoulder. Looking down at him he smiles "Good work.." He then leans down to where the ashes of the beast are and says to them "Rest well foe.. you faught valiantly" He then gets up and turns around "Have some respect Thantos" and with that he starts walking "D'Aleen is right.. we will only find more troubles in these crypts, let us go and thwart the source of this evil.." Looking towards his friend Vinoh he nods and grins.. __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

Cubby Insane Location: BC, Canada	"I agree with Goban and D'Aleen although I am a little interested to determine why the one tomb I looked at looked as though it had been freshly opened..uh..closed. There was no dust over the name plate and the plate looked newer than the others. I believe the inscription read something like: 'Patrina Velikovna: Bride'. Perhaps this newer addition has not been tainted as much as these older ones? And it is near the exit we found. For those of you that don't know we found a set of stairs that go up next to a shaft. There is wind coming down from the shaft." __________________ Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted!

Apokx Yo dawg, I herd u like... Location: memes.	With a look of dismay,the knight watched Sir Thantos kick through the ash of the wonderous beast. With a last glance and a sigh,Attrah turned around. "You want to open another tomb? If anything I would suggest making sure they DON'T open. Maybe Father Quadrial knows something that we can remedy these restless spirits with."

07-02-2003, 03:27 PM	#474 (permalink)
Cubby Insane Location: BC, Canada	Hearing Darghon's comments in regard to having respect for a foe, Thantos responds. "I mean no dis-respect Darghon, but this was an evil creature that would have killed us all. He fought not for honour but through spite. Regardless, I am not trying to desecrate his final resting spot and it was not I that disturbed his rest to begin with. Instead I was attempting to see if anything dropped off of him that may be useful. With this fog it is difficult to see anything without creating a slight wind and even then you can only see for a second or two before more fog fills in the void. Vinoh, I would suggest you search this tomb quickly so we can move on. " __________________ Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted!

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	"A fresh tomb you say thantos.. hrmm could be interesting.." Darghon looks down the way we came... "Do we open it or.." looking back at the group "Not risk it and take the stairs?" __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!
