* Nothing happens as Thantos rolls the two rocks across the flooring.
They end up going through the exit on the other side,
the hollow echos indicating a much larger room.

Between Vinoh's & Darghon's torch & spell it's light up the alcove brightly.
The faces of the statue are still, grim & stern.
The blades glint in the bright light.
But no movement is detected. *

rockzilla · 07-12-2003, 10:43 AM

Goban watches Thantos throw the two rocks into the room. After an impatient minute of waiting for a rection of some kind and seeing nothing, Goban decided the path is safe enough, not so safe that he doesn't draw his sword though.

"Well, good enough for me, if those guys are gonna wake up, I suggest we all get into the larger room so we're standing targets"

With that, Goban carefuly walks past the ominous statues and waits at the entrance to the large room, taking a quick look around with his light.

rogue49 · 07-12-2003, 12:51 PM

Goban:
* Through the exit of the smaller room, you see into another great room,
it very large and the ceiling is high.
You can tell, because your light fades before it even reaches the other side of the room or ceiling.
You cannot see further at the moment.

Pews & benches lie about the floor in jumbled disarray,
coated with centuries of dust.
This room seems as though nothing has disturbed it in centuries,
and that nothing ever could. *

Bob Biter · 07-12-2003, 07:46 PM

Seeing Goban walk past the statues unharmed, Vinoh follows behind him, bringing the torch back to his hand.

"What to you think, Goban? Abandoned place of worship, maybe? Or perhaps just a meeting hall..."

The mind mage then begins to search the place carefullyl, looking for signs of the room's purpose, as well as any possible exits.

Minx · 07-12-2003, 11:34 PM

After seeing no reaction from the imposing, yet unmoving, statues D'Aleen carefully follows Goban and Vinoh into the large room. She places herself just in the room and off to the side, ready with her bow.

"Looks to me to be some place of worship. Certainly hasn't seen the light of day for some time though. Perhaps we'll find a clue or two...the more we know about what we are dealing with, the better prepared we can be."

GoldenOuroboros · 07-13-2003, 01:02 AM

Dargon wanders in after D'aleen and the rest of the group. "Hrmm.." Darghon mutters to himself "Could be a place of worship.." Darghon thinks "What if this temple wasn't evil in the beginning?" He raises an eyebrow at the thought. Darghon looks up and sees what he can see with his natural nightvision. "I'm not liking this no ceiling thing..." Darghon remembers a time a while back when he was helping a man in a cave that had no ceiling and there was a giant spider....

Darghon looks around carefully, undusting some of the items that are around and looking for some clues. (OOC: Up to you rogue

)

Apokx · 07-13-2003, 05:50 PM

Finally reaching the large room,Attrah watches the group's rear.

"So far so good,once you finish searching we can continue."

rogue49 · 07-14-2003, 04:48 AM

* As you all come to the great room the light you bring into it & your positions reveal more...

It is as you suspected a VERY large room, maybe a chapel...
The length of it goes for what seems to be 100 feet, the breadth 50.
The ceiling goes up to what seems to be 50 feet,
ending high above with a ornate balcony over the center of the long wall near you.

Underneath that balcony on the floor, are a large set of carven oak doors, closed.
You think you can see another alcove like the one you just exited
on the opposite side of the same wall a bit further down.

In the center of the room on the far wall with all the debris surrounding it.
Lit by a single piercing shaft of light,
an alter stands upon a platform.
The light falls directly on a small statue. A figure is draped over the alter. *

krazixs · 07-14-2003, 07:30 AM

"This does not look like a place of worship but like one to hold tributes to those who have past"

Krazixs remians toward the back of the group waiting for whatever may come next.

Apokx · 07-14-2003, 09:45 AM

Attrah sees nothing of intrest,until his eyes meet the statue.Thinking of it for only a moment,and what it could be,the knight continues guarding his comrades.

Cubby · 07-14-2003, 11:54 AM

Moving into the room, Thantos goes to the far side of the room and checks out the oak doors. He doesn't attempt to open them but does look to see if they appear to be locked or open. He also looks to see if there is a way to lock them shut (handles that you could stick an old sword through, etc) if they needed to. Thantos, puts his crossbow away and draws his sword.

"I'll cover this entrance to the room while you all determine if there is anything of significance. "

rogue49 · 07-14-2003, 12:33 PM

Thantos:
* The great doors appear to be unlocked.
You could place a straight object through the handles.
However, the wood seems so rotted,
that it is questionable whether it would hold. *

Minx · 07-14-2003, 01:46 PM

D'Aleen grasps her bow firmly and seeing that Thantos has the wooden doors covered, decides to investigate the statue. The bright shaft of light intrigues her....light is drawn to good, not evil. Yet in this place you never know.

Cautiously walking forward she approaches the altar to try to determine what is draped across it......

00C....up to you now Rogue...

krazixs · 07-14-2003, 01:52 PM

Stepping forward with Minx the small elf follows closely behind.

"Your feelings are correct Minx there is no evil from that alter only peace and silence"

Krazixs approaches the altar slightly curious to see what is there.

GoldenOuroboros · 07-14-2003, 02:30 PM

Darghon looks around the room some more. He wanders over to thantos and looks at him and then at the doors. "Just imagine if there was a thousand demons on the other side of these doors.." Darghon grins and wanders off to see what D'Aleen and Kraxis have found...

Bob Biter · 07-14-2003, 06:12 PM

As D'Aleen, Krazixs and Darghon investigate the altar, Vinoh gives a few quick glances around him. Thantos and Attrah seem to have the 2 main entrances covered, but what about the balcony and second alcove? Curious, Vinoh decides to levitate up to the balcony, with his torch just ahead of him, but not in his hand. He ascends slowly, anxious about what he might find.

redravin40 · 07-14-2003, 09:28 PM

Feeling a great sense of sadness and loss from the chapel, Father had to agree with the idea that this had once been a place of piety only to be taken over by evil.
Once again he kneels and starts to pray.
The cross on his staff begins to glow and spread light out over the big room.

rogue49 · 07-15-2003, 04:33 AM

D'Aleen, Krazixs & Darghon:
* As you draw closer to the alter,
you notice the figure is a corpse, with grey, drawn, dried skin.
Reaching out over the alter to the statue, its hand is burnt & blackened
Its robes are black but faded, with runes & symbols that seem malevolent.
The small statue is where the shaft of light from nowhere is falling.
A small carving of the purest silver, only a foot in height & half as wide. *

Vinoh:
* The long balcony overlooks the vast rubble-strewn room.
In the center of the wall, the balcony briefly extends outward with a rounded railing.
As you rise, you see two figures sitting on large thrones on the extention.

Dust and shadow are everywhere in the large room from your vantage point,
except for the light of the alter. *

GoldenOuroboros · 07-15-2003, 05:47 AM

Darghon looks at the scene.. "hmmm.." Darghon looks to and fro at the scenes main points.. "So.. was it his salvation or his death?"

Telepath message to Vinoh 'How's things up there Vinoh? Need a hand with anything?'

Darghon looks at the statue trying to figure out what it is.. (OOC: Can he Rogue?)

krazixs · 07-15-2003, 06:48 AM

Krazixs moves closer to inspect the statue closely, being careful not to disturb the corpse on the altar.

Bob Biter · 07-15-2003, 07:10 AM

Vinoh answers Darghon telepathically:

*I found what looks like two more corpses here... probably a Lord and Lady. The more evidence we find, the more I'm convinced that this place was once good, but was horribly perverted, as the good Father said. The Nightmare we defeated was obviously good before and the crypts downstairs most likely held members of a great noble family...

Why don't you come up here and help me check this balcony out? The others seem to have things well in hand on the ground.*

With that, the mind mage brings the torch back to him and lands on the balcony, at a respectable distance from the two figures, and waits for Darghon while inspecting the area more closely.

Apokx · 07-15-2003, 10:47 AM

Stretching his arms,Attrah began planning the best way to defend this room.The calm before the storm it seemed.
"Be careful around that corpse Kraz."

Stifling a yawn,the knight continued his watch.

Cubby · 07-15-2003, 11:32 AM

"These doors look like no one has opened them in a long time. I don't like the idea of us separating in this room so D'Aleen and kraxizs make sure to keep an eye on this door. It's time I test something out before I need it in a life and death situation."

With that Thantos moves away from the wall and toward the balcony when he is slighty beside the balcony (not quite underneath it incase it falls), you see him put away his sword and move towards the wall. Placing two hands up high on the smooth wall he pulls up. His fingers seemingly sticking like glue to the wall do not move. Thantos quickly places his feet against the wall and they two stick like glue. Taking alternating hands and feet off the wall he tests out how he could make use of this situation. Finally, he begins to move slowly right up the wall and over the balcony.

"Hey Vinoh, figured you might want a hand looking around up here. "

GoldenOuroboros · 07-15-2003, 01:58 PM

Darghon looks and watches as Cubby crawls up the wall. "And I was worried about spiders.. now all we have to worry about is our spiderman here..."

Darghon levitates up to the balcony.. "You know Vinoh, I've been thinking.. we've got 3 dead bodies here, and I'm wondering now they've all seemed to be watching something and the guy on the altar must of been preaching to someone. A lady and a lord in an empty room with a preacher?" Darghon raises an eyebrow and looks around abit more..

Carefully he looks at the bodies to see if they're are any markings to give away who they might have been and what land they might have looked over. He speaks openly "I'm also wondering what might have happened to the crowd.. if there was one ofcourse.." Darghon looks back towards the room "Perhaps the lady and lord had come here under the protection of the preacher and the altar was the last of the good left in the land." Darghon looks over the seats "But if not.. and it was just a mass gathering.. where my friends.. are the rest of these people" Darghon looks back at Vinoh and Cubby. "I'm getting a relapse of the town we went through.."

Darghon looks back at the altar.. "Is that statue using the light.. or emanating it?" Darghon looks around.. "Possibly the statue is absorbing the light and then emmaniting some sort of aura which is protecting this room.. so if we do try and see which way it is coming from and find out that the light goes to the little statue there goes our protection and we have a tonne of dark undead evil ones charging through into this room..."

Darghon grins and looks back "Just a thought... or two.. hehe"

Bob Biter · 07-15-2003, 03:22 PM

Watching in amazement as Thantos climbs the sheer wall, Vinoh listens to Darghon's imput and nods.

"Hmm... you have some good points there, my friend. The two corpses here definitely appear to be seated to witness something, possibly a rite enacted by the fellow draped across the altar. However, I don't see any hints pointing towards the purpose of such a rite; it could be either good or evil, protection or destruction. Whatever happened, they obviously didn't live through it. Let's make sure to check this area out thoroughly, then we can move on to the second alcove on the ground."

Vinoh then investigates the corpses and balcony with Darghon and Thantos. He deeply wishes to use his sensitive powers, but wonders what kind of ungodly effect it would have on him or the rest of the group.

rogue49 · 07-15-2003, 06:55 PM

Darghon, Vinoh & Thantos
* As Darghon, moves closer and starts looking over closely the corpses on the throne...

With lightning quickness,
Both of them leap on him clawing & biting.
Trying to rend the flesh from him.

The attack is so sudden that, it disturbs his concentration
and he levitation fails.
He is able to barely grab on to the ancient railing
with some of the posts breaking beneath his clawing grasps.
But this leaves him vulnerable to the viciousness of the undead. *

Bob Biter · 07-15-2003, 08:34 PM

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Vinoh is stunned for the few moments necessary for Darghon to almost fall to the ground. Pulling himself together and fueled by the rush of anger and adrenaline, the mind mage lets off a powerful telekinetic blast, in the hopes of hurling the undead couple against the far wall and down to the ground, where his teammates are better equipped to deal with the undead.

"Heads up guys! Two undead nobles coming your way, try to finish off before they get back up!!!"

After this attack (OOC: if it is successful), Vinoh pulls Darghon back on the balcony with his gem-assisted strength.

Minx · 07-15-2003, 08:38 PM

D'Aleen stares in wonderment at the statue...drawn to it despite the evil looking corpse hunched beside it. Smothering a shudder she is just about to reach out and touch it. Turning to the Father she is about to ask if he might recognize it, or at least have any ideas as to its origin when her eye is drawn to a figure climbing up the wall!
Now I've seen everything...she thinks to herself and turns again to address the others.....suddenly an eerie screech and the sounds of a struggle comes from above.
Pulling her bow in front of her as she runs towards the base of the balcony she cries,

"Attrah! Father! Quickly....all of you - we've got hell to play with once again...."

OOC...Hey Bob you beat me by 30 sec's!

Ahha....undead headed our way huh? Okay dokey!

GoldenOuroboros · 07-15-2003, 09:16 PM

Dargons feels the claws and teeth delve deep into his flesh.. "Arrgghhh.." And with that he starts to change, his skin hardening with the scales that grow from beneath his flesh. He is about to go for one of the undead when him and his attackers are hit by an unknown force and knocked to the ground..

Slightly stunned he gets up and shakes his head only to notice that the undead are already upon him chewing on his scaled legs. "That won't do you any good.." And with that he activates his light blade and severes their heads from their bodies..

Apokx · 07-16-2003, 01:31 AM

Attrah will do one of two things

1.Bull Rush any undead landing on the floor.

2.Defend the group

OOC:I'm going to the beach in about 20 minutes.(Almost 5 now)
So nothing for 3-4 days.Sorry =/

rogue49 · 07-16-2003, 04:56 AM

* Vinoh's telekinetic blast knocks the attacking undead off Darghon,
unfortunately the blast doesn't work as Vinoh would hope,
throwing the creatures onto the balcony nearby.
Closer to Thantos

Both of them scramble to rise again
One going toward Thantos still clinging to the wall
The other going back to its first target.
hungering. *

Minx · 07-16-2003, 05:47 AM

D'Aleen looks up at the creature approaching Thantos from over the top of the balcony. Muttering an oath under her breath she slowly raises her bow and trains it on the undead.
Hoping to at least buy Thantos enough time to get into a defendable position, she pulls back and lets loose a bright shaft of light from the magical bow....headed straight for the creatures head.

OOC....You decide Rogue....

rogue49 · 07-16-2003, 05:54 AM

* D'Aleen's shot is true.
The energy from the bow hits that undead corpse on it's head.
Flipping it back, up and over,
falling to the floor far below.

Where it rises again with surprising speed,
it's head now blackened to a crisp.*

GoldenOuroboros · 07-16-2003, 06:11 AM

Darghon still feeling a little dazed from Vinohs telekinetic blast tries to send a telepathic message to D'aleen 'Fire.. burn.. undead.. t.. ashes..'

And with that he falls down on his hands dropping his light blade, the magical blade vanishes as it leaves his hand. He shakes his head abit the effects of the blow still weighing on him..

krazixs · 07-16-2003, 07:05 AM

Turning from the statue Krazixs see's the struggle going on in the balcony above. Hearing the hum of D'Aleen's bow Krazixs see's one zombie flip over the balcony and promptly rise to charge the rest on the ground level. Holding his staff level in front of him the elf let's loose a shaft of pure white light toward the monster in hopes of destroying the monster.

Bob Biter · 07-16-2003, 08:19 AM

Vinoh realizes with horror that his attack also affected Darghon, who luckily has his dragon hide to protect him from the worst of the undead's assault.

Now that one of the beasts was on the ground and being handled by the others, Vinoh focuses on the one still on the balcony, thinking of what he can do. After all, he is not equipped with holy weapons or magicks and the balcony is to small for effective use of wide range attacks.

With that in mind, the mind mage suddenly becomes aware that Darghon has lost consciousness, with the undead thing looming over him ravenously. Instantly, the yellowish gem circling around his head glows and centers itself as Vinoh feels a surge of strength. Wanting to get the thing away from his friend and to the ground below, where his friends can handle it, the mind mage grabs it by the back of the neck and lower back, jumps off the balcony, hurls it with all of his might toward the ground (but away from the others, to give them some time to react), then activates his levitation power to safely return to the balcony to check on Darghon.

"Guys! Another undead thing is on the way! Darghon is down, I'll check up on him!"

Back on the balcony, Vinoh heads towards his friend.

"Darghon! Are you OK? I'm sorry for this; I should have better focused my attack..."

Vinoh then attempts a psychic diagnosis, to see the extent of the damage, and puts Darghon'S ligthblade back in his hand.

Minx · 07-16-2003, 09:44 AM

D'Aleen notes that the arrow of light did indeed buy some time for Thantos but now they had a very pissed off undead to deal with. Seeing that Krazixs is able to at least hold off the creature with the light eminating from his staff, she fires another volley of arrows at the creature, striking it's chest and torso.

"Thantos...Attrah....we could use some help over here...." she cried out and released another volley of arrows at the second creature now thundering towards them....slowing it's progress but only briefly.

Cubby · 07-16-2003, 10:32 AM

The quickness and ferocity of the attack surprises Thantos. Still clinging to the wall he notices one of the undead coming towards him. As he tries to move away from the creature a bolt of light hits the undead in the head and tumbles him over the balcony. Looking down Thantos is amazed to see the creature up on his feet again. Climbing down the wall as fast as he can, Thantos realizes he must slow up the creature as much as he can until he can get down there. Holding onto the wall with one hand and his feet he points his other hand at the corpse with the blackened head...

"Web!"

He cries as a long tendril of white stickyness shoots from his hand towards the undead creature. (OOC: Up to you rogue to see if it hits). With that done Thantos quickens his pace trying to get down the wall and onto the floor as fast as he can.

"Hang on D'Aleen, I'm on my way!"

GoldenOuroboros · 07-16-2003, 01:56 PM

Darghon lies their twitching a little..

Minx · 07-16-2003, 02:14 PM

Seeing that Krazixs still is able to hold the one creature at bay, D'Aleen turns her attention to the other. Garnering strength from the bow itself she twists slightly to see Thantos's web and unleashes another volley of arrows. The creature stumbles back but is not halted.
"Rats....Thantos maybe a combined attack will bring this evil to it's knees."

rogue49 Loser	D'Aleen, Krazixs & Darghon: * As you draw closer to the alter, you notice the figure is a corpse, with grey, drawn, dried skin. Reaching out over the alter to the statue, its hand is burnt & blackened Its robes are black but faded, with runes & symbols that seem malevolent. The small statue is where the shaft of light from nowhere is falling. A small carving of the purest silver, only a foot in height & half as wide. * Vinoh: * The long balcony overlooks the vast rubble-strewn room. In the center of the wall, the balcony briefly extends outward with a rounded railing. As you rise, you see two figures sitting on large thrones on the extention. Dust and shadow are everywhere in the large room from your vantage point, except for the light of the alter. *

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	Darghon looks at the scene.. "hmmm.." Darghon looks to and fro at the scenes main points.. "So.. was it his salvation or his death?" Telepath message to Vinoh 'How's things up there Vinoh? Need a hand with anything?' Darghon looks at the statue trying to figure out what it is.. (OOC: Can he Rogue?) __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

Bob Biter Non-smokers die everyday Location: Montreal	Vinoh answers Darghon telepathically: I found what looks like two more corpses here... probably a Lord and Lady. The more evidence we find, the more I'm convinced that this place was once good, but was horribly perverted, as the good Father said. The Nightmare we defeated was obviously good before and the crypts downstairs most likely held members of a great noble family... Why don't you come up here and help me check this balcony out? The others seem to have things well in hand on the ground. With that, the mind mage brings the torch back to him and lands on the balcony, at a respectable distance from the two figures, and waits for Darghon while inspecting the area more closely. __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

Apokx Yo dawg, I herd u like... Location: memes.	Stretching his arms,Attrah began planning the best way to defend this room.The calm before the storm it seemed. "Be careful around that corpse Kraz." Stifling a yawn,the knight continued his watch.

Cubby Insane Location: BC, Canada	"These doors look like no one has opened them in a long time. I don't like the idea of us separating in this room so D'Aleen and kraxizs make sure to keep an eye on this door. It's time I test something out before I need it in a life and death situation." With that Thantos moves away from the wall and toward the balcony when he is slighty beside the balcony (not quite underneath it incase it falls), you see him put away his sword and move towards the wall. Placing two hands up high on the smooth wall he pulls up. His fingers seemingly sticking like glue to the wall do not move. Thantos quickly places his feet against the wall and they two stick like glue. Taking alternating hands and feet off the wall he tests out how he could make use of this situation. Finally, he begins to move slowly right up the wall and over the balcony. "Hey Vinoh, figured you might want a hand looking around up here. " __________________ Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted!

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	Darghon looks and watches as Cubby crawls up the wall. "And I was worried about spiders.. now all we have to worry about is our spiderman here..." Darghon levitates up to the balcony.. "You know Vinoh, I've been thinking.. we've got 3 dead bodies here, and I'm wondering now they've all seemed to be watching something and the guy on the altar must of been preaching to someone. A lady and a lord in an empty room with a preacher?" Darghon raises an eyebrow and looks around abit more.. Carefully he looks at the bodies to see if they're are any markings to give away who they might have been and what land they might have looked over. He speaks openly "I'm also wondering what might have happened to the crowd.. if there was one ofcourse.." Darghon looks back towards the room "Perhaps the lady and lord had come here under the protection of the preacher and the altar was the last of the good left in the land." Darghon looks over the seats "But if not.. and it was just a mass gathering.. where my friends.. are the rest of these people" Darghon looks back at Vinoh and Cubby. "I'm getting a relapse of the town we went through.." Darghon looks back at the altar.. "Is that statue using the light.. or emanating it?" Darghon looks around.. "Possibly the statue is absorbing the light and then emmaniting some sort of aura which is protecting this room.. so if we do try and see which way it is coming from and find out that the light goes to the little statue there goes our protection and we have a tonne of dark undead evil ones charging through into this room..." Darghon grins and looks back "Just a thought... or two.. hehe" __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

Bob Biter Non-smokers die everyday Location: Montreal	Watching in amazement as Thantos climbs the sheer wall, Vinoh listens to Darghon's imput and nods. "Hmm... you have some good points there, my friend. The two corpses here definitely appear to be seated to witness something, possibly a rite enacted by the fellow draped across the altar. However, I don't see any hints pointing towards the purpose of such a rite; it could be either good or evil, protection or destruction. Whatever happened, they obviously didn't live through it. Let's make sure to check this area out thoroughly, then we can move on to the second alcove on the ground." Vinoh then investigates the corpses and balcony with Darghon and Thantos. He deeply wishes to use his sensitive powers, but wonders what kind of ungodly effect it would have on him or the rest of the group. __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

rogue49 Loser	Darghon, Vinoh & Thantos * As Darghon, moves closer and starts looking over closely the corpses on the throne... With lightning quickness, Both of them leap on him clawing & biting. Trying to rend the flesh from him. The attack is so sudden that, it disturbs his concentration and he levitation fails. He is able to barely grab on to the ancient railing with some of the posts breaking beneath his clawing grasps. But this leaves him vulnerable to the viciousness of the undead. *

Bob Biter Non-smokers die everyday Location: Montreal	Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Vinoh is stunned for the few moments necessary for Darghon to almost fall to the ground. Pulling himself together and fueled by the rush of anger and adrenaline, the mind mage lets off a powerful telekinetic blast, in the hopes of hurling the undead couple against the far wall and down to the ground, where his teammates are better equipped to deal with the undead. "Heads up guys! Two undead nobles coming your way, try to finish off before they get back up!!!" After this attack (OOC: if it is successful), Vinoh pulls Darghon back on the balcony with his gem-assisted strength. __________________ A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	D'Aleen stares in wonderment at the statue...drawn to it despite the evil looking corpse hunched beside it. Smothering a shudder she is just about to reach out and touch it. Turning to the Father she is about to ask if he might recognize it, or at least have any ideas as to its origin when her eye is drawn to a figure climbing up the wall! Now I've seen everything...she thinks to herself and turns again to address the others.....suddenly an eerie screech and the sounds of a struggle comes from above. Pulling her bow in front of her as she runs towards the base of the balcony she cries, "Attrah! Father! Quickly....all of you - we've got hell to play with once again...." OOC...Hey Bob you beat me by 30 sec's! Ahha....undead headed our way huh? Okay dokey! __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room! Last edited by Minx; 07-15-2003 at 08:41 PM..

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	Dargons feels the claws and teeth delve deep into his flesh.. "Arrgghhh.." And with that he starts to change, his skin hardening with the scales that grow from beneath his flesh. He is about to go for one of the undead when him and his attackers are hit by an unknown force and knocked to the ground.. Slightly stunned he gets up and shakes his head only to notice that the undead are already upon him chewing on his scaled legs. "That won't do you any good.." And with that he activates his light blade and severes their heads from their bodies.. __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

rogue49 Loser	* Vinoh's telekinetic blast knocks the attacking undead off Darghon, unfortunately the blast doesn't work as Vinoh would hope, throwing the creatures onto the balcony nearby. Closer to Thantos Both of them scramble to rise again One going toward Thantos still clinging to the wall The other going back to its first target. hungering. *

Minx Junkie Location: Up yonder	D'Aleen looks up at the creature approaching Thantos from over the top of the balcony. Muttering an oath under her breath she slowly raises her bow and trains it on the undead. Hoping to at least buy Thantos enough time to get into a defendable position, she pulls back and lets loose a bright shaft of light from the magical bow....headed straight for the creatures head. OOC....You decide Rogue.... __________________ You've been a naughty boy....go to my room!

rogue49 Loser	* D'Aleen's shot is true. The energy from the bow hits that undead corpse on it's head. Flipping it back, up and over, falling to the floor far below. Where it rises again with surprising speed, it's head now blackened to a crisp.*

GoldenOuroboros The Cheshire Grin... Location: An Aussie Outback	Darghon still feeling a little dazed from Vinohs telekinetic blast tries to send a telepathic message to D'aleen 'Fire.. burn.. undead.. t.. ashes..' And with that he falls down on his hands dropping his light blade, the magical blade vanishes as it leaves his hand. He shakes his head abit the effects of the blow still weighing on him.. __________________ Can you see me grin grin grrriiiiinnnning?!

krazixs Psycho Location: courtin in the kitchen	Turning from the statue Krazixs see's the struggle going on in the balcony above. Hearing the hum of D'Aleen's bow Krazixs see's one zombie flip over the balcony and promptly rise to charge the rest on the ground level. Holding his staff level in front of him the elf let's loose a shaft of pure white light toward the monster in hopes of destroying the monster. __________________ The Kender in your party has just screamed in fear.
