Crystalbarrow Catacombs

[ARMofORION]

Something green and massive begins to climb out of the portal, with a hammer whose head is nearly the size of a bile demon, and a shield with what appears to be a bowled torch, a rod attached to the bottom of the bowl, with twin swords crossed over it.
"Anyone here? 'Ellllllooooo?"
The figure walks toward the sound of a beating heart, noting the creature(Drell) with web in his eyes. He was about to introduce himself when he noticed............a spider on top of the head of the blinded creature.
"What deh............OI! GET OFF HIM, BUG!"
He rushes toward the dragon to get the spider off his head, but instead rams into Drell and knocks him over, with him almost tripping.
"Sorry 'bout tat. Tryin to get deh bug."
He still tries to get Skios off, but fails.

[Mothrayas]

While Skios was on top of Drell, he was interrupted by a voice shouting from behind.

"OI! GET OFF HIM, BUG!"

Skios turned around to see Marteal coming in. Exactly what Skios didn't need was a giant, freaky, mutant troll... thing with a giant hammer, commanding him to get off his position on top of the Dragon.

Then said mutant troll rammed into Drell, nearly knocking him over, and nearly making Skios lose his balance.

"Sorry 'bout tat. Tryin to get deh bug."

Now, Skios had an important question to ask, and he hopped from Drell to a Dungeon Heart pillar, and clung on it. He faced Marteal.

"Urgh. Okay, I gotta ask you.

One, why are you so ugly as hell. I don't think I've ever seen anything this bad. (Other than Hulkie the Giant.)

Oh, and I almost forgot. What the hell are you thinking standing up for the Dragon? You want him to burn you?"

Skios hopped off the pillar on the ground. He was still facing Marteal.

"Or are you siding with the Dragon? You better not. If so, I'll eat you."

Skios was preparing himself for battle. The mutant didn't look all too bright, and despite his humongous weaponry, he probably just sucked too. He wasn't concerned about Drell for the moment, because if he got unblinded, he'd probably just attack the mutant anyway.

Summary: Skios noticed Marteal, questioned wtf he thinks he's doing, and prepared for battle.

Looks around the room.

"Is me missing something? Why is every creature tryin to kill deh other? Is it a test? Me hates tests......."

[Mothrayas]

Skios sighed. If there was one thing which annoyed him, it was this special kind of idiot. The type which regularly drops down because they forget they have to breathe. The type which make you question how they can even function properly from day to day without dying of their own stupidity.

"Well. That creature--"

Skios pointed to Drell.

"--is the ENEMY. That is why I was fighting him."

"Do. You. Understand?"

Summary: Skios tries to converse with an idiot.

Look of understanding dawns on his features.
"Wells, why didn'ts you say tat earlier?"
He begins to move toward Drell, but stops and points to the Heart.
"So, whos he? Me knows hes deh lord or king or something.......Keeper, tats it. Whats his name?"
While waiting for a response, he begins to attack Drell.

Vermil|ion
....~
......~The Vnsightly~

Vermillion awoke and snuggled further into his lair... only to taste soot.

->Urrrrk... no, no, NO! Vermsy wills it not! It is not to be the case because he says so it is not so! Does he not? So he does! Bow before his having done something!<-

He opened his eyes to see that his lair had been reduced to a smoldering pile by Drell earlier. It must have happened during the extensive fighting in the lair.

"Lair, you have betrayed the Vermillion! He will sleep on you not!"

A second thought occured to him. He wasn't wearing trousers and the lair he was reclining on was smouldering... the pain hit. He almost fainted. Small burns dotted his legs. It was a wonder he had survived, let alone recuperated - but that was the magic of the lair for you.

The rogue looked around for his trousers, couldn't find them so he tapped into his Sight to discover they were in fact still neatly folded on top of his head. He delved further into the Sight to discover the suppressed talent unlocked by the Voice's departure were still there, if not quite as overwhelmingly potent an earlier.

Vermillion decided it was time for a snack to further bolster his health and promptly headed for the prison. The Braced Door, apparently named Bruce, opened sheepishly when he approached.

As the Rogue absently-mindedly skewered and ate some life rats, he tuned his Sight into the past. He vaguely poked and proded around for a bit before he stumbled across Hector, his uncle and, he could confirm, the Oracle of Iceport. Hector chuckled slightly manicly in the distant past.

"What does they all have here, near, close at hand and yet so very far away? True, nay? Hello nephew, what can't a craa-aazy old long dead relative do for you now? False, I say! Saw my death, don't you see? True, true, true. Fun way to die, was and will be. Looking forward to it, so you know. True. Afterall, the man is CRAAAZY! Isn't he? Course he is... look at his eyes! Me, crazy? False. I'm just better informed!! Fallacy, cause its true, but you know all that don't you nephew? Don't you? Don't you not just! "

Vermillion choked down his last rat and cleaned the blood from his chin, before responding in the present.

"The Grand Vermillion does greet you, and grant you audience, dead one."

Hector made wild gesture as he talked.

"Ohhhh, but don't you see it, mad little nephew? We are all dead and dying. Everyone ever is dying and all at once. True, True, True, TRUE! Everyone is dying and everyone is dead. I've seen your death, I've seen everyone die. All life everywhere is right now being extinguished in this instant. Seen it, know it, true."

Vermillion cheated and checked his answer before he gave it.

"False and True, Iceport, False and True..."

The Rogue made towards the dungeon's Casino, only to stumble in on Drell. He made a panicked resolution that he should avoid these situations by scanning his general area with sight at all times. Vermillion felt he had had enough of Drell of late, what with the ammount of battering and frying he'd undergone of late. He sidled across, blending in with the shadows and resolving not to involve himself until it became neccessary.

Asifet

-
The Aggressor

Asifet was just now regaining consciousness, a splitting headache after being thrown bodily headfirst into a heart pillar. While generally easy-going, he was thus not happy to be woken by what bordered on a full-scale argument.

"Quiet down the pair of you! You could bloody well wake the dead, and I'm not talking about Kessler Van Doom and his ghastly ilk."

The martial warlock unsteadily staggered to his feat, then cast heal on himself.

He retrieved his slashing blade, but the rest of his battle staff was still lodged int he creatures back.

\\Perfect, just what I need... not.//

He looks at Drell, then Asifet, then back again.
"You.......Warlock........."
He comes to a decision.
"Me....HATE....WARLOCK!!"
Swings downward in a attempt to flatten Asifet.

Asifet

-
The Aggressor

Asifet was somewhat surpised when one of Larquidos's other creatures made to attack him, and barely recovered in time to execute a hasty sideways roll. It seemed unprovoked, or at best completely out of proportion.

\\There is a thrice-blasted dragon in the room and it wants to attack me? This creature is totally crazy.//

He didn't stand any chance standing still against such an infeasibly big hammer, he'd get squashed into the floor. That said it was slow to heft, tiresome and impossible to reaquire a target in midswing - thus easy to evade, which was something he excelled at and could probably do til the end of days. That said... he didn't have a chance in hell of retaliating without the longer reach afforded by the impaling end of his battle-staff.

There was always the possibility he could side-step one of the Orcs downswings and sever the hammer below the head, but doing so - even if it did take the hammer out of the equation it would still put him in easy hitting range which he couldn't afford right now. He wouldn't have a way out.

\\I knew I should have started on Sigelmore's Guide to Hold Audience, not the other one. If I could master teleport, I could have ended this folly in an instant.//

Asifet retreated towards the blinded flailing Drell, hacking twice at his uninjured leg on the way through.

\\Let him think I am scared, let him think I retreat in stark fear. I shall strike back with a hailstorm of pain and the very last thing he will see shall be the flashing of my blades! You want to fight, Orc? You're demise shall help perfect my magical martial art.//

"WHERE IS YOU GOING, WARLOCK?!?"

"COME BACK HERES! ME IS NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!"
He then hits Drell with the hammer on the way out, still remembering that Drell is an enemy.
