Kar'thus, Black Knight
After taking several good hits from the tentacle, and giving the same amount of hits, Kar'thus begins to slow, the fight taking it's toll upon him. After narrowly dodging a few more attacks, he gets an idea. As soon as Tentacle 2 attacked again, he drew his scythe with his off-hand, and clamped down on the "neck" of the tentacle between his two weapons. He then tosses Tentacle 2 at Tentacle 1, getting clawed in the process. "Ugh. Blasted thing doesn't let go easy, it seems." Putting his scythe away, he turns to Bastain, and grabs Karla by the "neck", and pulls her off the Rogue. He then slams her into the ground, stunning her. He looks around, and can't decide wither or not to flee with Karla, or continue to fight.

Destany the Assassino
Keeper, I hate to give bad news to you now, but......Another Rogue has entered your dungeon.
Said Rogue that the Mentor mentioned now climbed up from the portal, with no real features discerned under her clothes which, with no other word to describe,was lined with WAY too many knives . The only thing that can be seen is her eyes, which, oddly, is multicolored. The bottom half of her right eye is a pale blue. The top half is the same color as gold. The top of her left eye is crimson, and the bottom half is a darker green. She arrives just in time to hear the Mentor's comment, which didn't bother her. She walks to the dungeon, thinking. {I wonder why the Mentor said that.....} She pulls out a knife and fiddles with it. After walking for a few seconds longer, she arrives at the Dungeon Heart. She puts the knife away, then kneels in front of the Heart. "Greetings Keeper. My name is Destany. Should you require someone outside of your dungeon.......Removed, I can do it..... A grin appears underneath her mask. "....For the right price." She gets up, and leaves the room. She turns to the Lair, and sets up her home, a bed similar to the ones Heroes use. She turns around and heads for the Training Room. When she arrives, she sets out automatically to train.

Bastain

the Blackguard

Bastain was busy stabbing the tentacle who had impaled him, Karla, when she was pulled off by a Black Knight. Suddenly the claw which had been plugging the wound was gone. Blood splattered no matter how hard he tried to keep it in.

{\Thick-headed brute, look what you've done!/}

The Rogue groaned, slipping backwards into unconsciousness, lying in a pool of his own blood. Before he slipped - certain the this was the end - he choked out a curse out from his bloodied maw.

"This is your fault, Knight... I will not let that wretched curr of a child see my end. If I die before he does, Knight - then may pestilence, poverty and reproach poison your progression 'til the day he and all his ill-born progeny perish."

His words were incomprehensible between hacking up blood and choking on it, nonetheless his spluttered unintelligable rant carried a certain weight. The kind of weight that made you suspect that somewhere a fickle undergod was amusing themselves.

{\Vermillion... must not be allowed to... surive!/}

Bastain slipped into unawareness.

Suria the Blue Spawn of Rage

Suria had been suddenly dropped into the Guard Room, right on a Fly. Almost immediately after, a Vampire fell on top of her and crushed her.

"G-Get off!!" Suria yelled as Voro got off, who apparently was not paying much attention to her.

Suria leaped off of Ray and examined her surroundings. She found the enemy Tentacles, and prepared to charge straight into battle. Her allies, however, did nothing but stand nearby.

"What's wrong with you!? Enemy! Right! There! We eat!!" Suria exclaimed as she hopped up and down, pointing at the Tentacles.

Ray and Voro apparently had the right idea, as they were the first to move. Suria then readied her charge once more, but Voro stood in her way.

"Move! Out of my way you stupid Vampire!!" Suria yelled.

Voro seemed to understand, as he stepped aside.

Suria grinned, "That's r-"

Suria found herself face to face with a Freeze spell and was then frozen solid. Soon after, all of Suria's "allies" began rushing forward to engage in combat. None thought of helping poor Suria...

JERKS!! I hate all of you!!

Raaagghh! They're going to steal my kills... AGAIN!!

I'm not going to let that happen...

...Not...

...This...

...Time...

Suria was suddenly filled with absolute rage. She began to melt the ice with her own fire, before breaking free of the ice completely through sheer force of will and might. Suria got ready to charge yet again, but then began to actually think for a moment. She realized that she might just end up getting frozen, plus there's way to many of her "allies" in the way. She needs a new plan...

Suddenly, the frozen Ray seemed to radiate with light as if he was the answer. Suria grabbed Ray and smashed him against the wall, successfully freeing him from his icey prison.

Suria jumped on top of Ray, "Fly! Get me over to the other side of the room! I'm going to drop in and attack that blue Tentacle from the air!"

Summery: Suria was dropped in the Guard Room, yelled at Voro to get off her, yelled at everybody for not doing anything, then was frozen when Voro sidestepped the Freeze Spell. She became mad and broke free, then she freed Ray and commanded him to fly her over to Karla.

[Mothrayas]

Ray was immobile, frozen in an ice block as the fight was going on. This lasted until he was picked up and smashed into a wall by Suria. The ice shattered, and Ray broke free from the ice that was covering him.

"Yay, I am free now, thank you d--OOF!"

Ray was interrupted by Suria jumping right on top of him and asking for a ride.

"YAY, yes, let's go airstrikey them, AIRSTRIKEY!"

Ray rose up in the air, with Suria on his back. Having a demon spawn on his back was heavy, but he could handle it.

"IMCOMING!"

Ray flew right over the two tentacles who were fighting up front.

"Hey! CARPET BOMBING STRIKE GO!"

Ray released a storm of hail below him while moving forward, striking both of the combating tentacles. He flew on forward until he ended up roughly above where Karla was.

"Incoming!"

Ray did a backwards loop in the air, dropping Suria off onto the ground, landing right in front of Karla. Ray himself then landed on the wall right next to the exit, standing guard in case Karla or the others would try to escape.


~~~~~


Meanwhile, Voro had his eyes set on tentacle #1, who was busy fighting the Black Knight, Kar'thus. He prepared to support the battle with some literal firepower. He launched a sphere of fire at tentacle #1.

"You shall not oppose me, worm. You'll regret it."

Voro threw another fireball at him. By now he had attracted the tentacle's attraction, who put up a Protect shield, and went on towards him.

"And don't you dare touch me, you filthy beast."

His words didn't deter the tentacle, who lashed out at him with its beak. Voro backstepped, but the tentacle still managed to cut in his vampiric leg. It didn't hurt so much because vampiric flesh is quite resilient and the undead don't have as much of a sense as pain as the living, but if one thing was hurt, it was his pride. And his clothing.

"That does it. When I am done with you, I will cook your remains and eat what is left of it."

Voro used his infernal power to set his vampiric hand on fire and used it to chop at the tentacle's neck.. The attack didn't cause a lot of arm; the tentacle's protection absorbed most of the blow. Voro used the opportunity to quickly grab the tentacle by the neck and lifted him up. His bright red eyes stared at the beast.

"Begone with you!"

He then tossed him away across the room. He looked at the torn clothing on his leg.

"I will not let that beast come out of this alive..."


~~~~~


Ray, sitting on the wall as the match goes on, was watching as the battle went on. He moved his front legs forward to charge up a hailstorm. But then he looked at his little fly leg, and noticed a swelling on it.

"Hey, what's that bobby thingy there? It itches!"

Summary: Ray transported Suria across the stage, carpet bombing the fighter tentacles with hail along the way, and dropped Suria before Karla. Voro went on to fight Tentacle #1, and ended with throwing him across the room.

TENTACLE #1: 73% (-25%; Ray hailstorm, repeated fireballs by Voro, fire chop and thrown across the room. Protect active)

Kar'thus, Black Knight
Karla starts again to struggle in his grip. Kar'thus, now borderline P***ed, slams her into the ground three times. He looks at Bastain, remembering his comments to him:
"This is your fault, Knight... I will not let that wretched curr of a child see my end. If I die before he does, Knight - then may pestilence, poverty and reproach poison your progression 'til the day he and all his ill-born progeny perish." He barely understood what he said, but managed to figure it out.{I wonder what child that he was talking about.} He shrugs, deeming the Tentacle of more importance than the now dieing rogue. Before he moved off, he made a request: "Keeper, could you spare some mana for the rogue? I doubt you'll care much if he dies, judging by what the Mentor has said." He turns toward the door, slamming Karla into the wall nearby, then attempts to enter the Dungeon, but looses his grip on Karla due to Tentacle #2, who had decided that he/she wasn't done with Kar'thus yet. "You again? By the Gods, you don't give up!" As before, he starts to fight Tentacle #2, while Karla heals Tentacle #1 for 13%, backing up from the fight. Only to have to duel with Suria, who was EVEN MORE p***ed then Kar'thus was.

Unseen and unknown to everyone in the room, Bastain had been removed from the room not but a few seconds after Kar'thus had turned his back toward the Rouge. He lays in the Lair, a certain rogue had already removed him from the battle. Back within the training room, Destany grinned underneath her mask, happy to have helped out the Rogue.......Along with herself, taking 5 gold from him.

Ithique

Butcher of Redshore

Ithique indulged himself in a dark smile.

'"There is no point in pretending, no point in delay. You've already lost. I know you're awake, so lets get on with this and stop wasting precious time, shall we?"'

The malevolent Elf ran his hands over the torture items. He loved it when victims pretended to be asleep as it gave him the excuse to make sure they didn't stay that.

-(What I need is something to remind her of where she is... and the need to remain attentive.)-

Ithique selected what looked like a hammer and nail. He immediately began hammering the nail through her hand, impaling her to the bench.

'"I don't like it when people ignore me, Archer. I feel hurt, you know. I think after a while, most people realise they don't like it either... especially when I feel hurt."'

Little did Ithique realize that Shaylum actually was still unconscious. She hadn't slept or eaten well for quite some time while in Prison, and she generally lacked energy. The strike to the back of her head definitely did its job at keeping her unconscious. But the impailing of the nail certainly was enough to wake her. Shaylum's eyes slammed open and she shrieked, filled with shock as she tried to grasp the situation.

'"The sleeping beauty wakes, it seems, dear lady. Is it not so? It is not so. Start faking again, archer, and you will rue it."'

The Dark Elf finished hammering in the nail.

'"Isn't this going to be fun? Torture party! All the brilliant colours! Let loose the flood gates, unstop the corks and bring forth the TORRENT OF PAIN!! LET US HAVE FUN! I'll be having fun... you, not so much I think."'

Ithique circled, suddenly contemplative, suddenly serious. It was disconcerting change. He ran his hand along the edge of the table, considering how to proceed with restrained glee. He was mulling over his challenge. How to best break her without killing or seriously maiming. This would be challenge, but that could be fun in his mind. This would, nonetheless, however, by the very means he would have to invoke be a slower process.

'"You fear me, don't you? I'm mad, I'm bad and I'm standing right over you. Right now, have I not become Arndulal, destroyer and blood-letter? Has it sunk in yet, little maiden? You are helpless and hopeless.

What is the nasty elf going to do now, you ask? Will he kill me? He said he wouldn't. What is his word worth, this maniac? I guess you'll find out. By the end, perhaps you'll wish for death, yes? You'll wish to enter Arnie's embrace, huh?"'

Ithique glaced over at the Orc.

'"No, I don't mean you, my pink friend... not to say that wouldn't be interesting. Posibilities, posibilities... would you like that, archer? Something for you to look forward too then."'

The armoured elf, walked over to the torture supplies and came back with a trolly full of heavy weights.

Ithique... keep doing whatever you're doing.

Ithique nodded as if to himself.

'"Do you think I talk too much, dear lady? Would you prefer I didn't spend so much time talking, then? Get down to business? Tell you what..."'

Ithique unloaded the first of many heavy weights onto her chest, slowly crushing her. Leaving her short of breath.

'"...Why don't you tell me about yourself?"'

Without much thinking, Shaylum spat back at Ithique, "Piss off!" Shaylum gritted her teeth as she tried to deal with the intense pain she felt within her right hand. Her desire to beat Ithique dead after his treatment towards her was unbearable.

Ithique rubbed the spit of his face, and dipped two finers into her hand wound, scooping up blood.

'"I would berate you for acting like a big kid, but fingerpaints are fun, you know."'

He widened his predatory grin by smearing her own blood in a ghastly clown smile.

'"When I was a little elf boy, I experimented on the most painful ways to kill a chicken... it taught me a lot. I haven't appreciated quite how much until recently."'

Ithique added a second great wieght to her chest. Serious strain. It would feel like the sky was collaping on her chest.

'"For all the good that little, gesture did, huh? I'm going to ask you again... tell me abut yourself, archer... lest I tell you about myself by engraving the words across your pretty little face."'

Shaylum glared at Ithique, but decided to remain silent. She was in no mood to speak more than a few words, nor did she possess the energy to do so without difficulty. The weights did not help this... in fact, they seemed to be crushing her a bit too much. With her weakened body, Shaylum found it difficult to breathe even... but she decided against complaining about it...

Why bother fighting it?

Her life was over and she knew it. She was no longer welcome on the side of the Heroes. All that was left for her was to slowly rot in prison or die a painful death by the insane Elf, Ithique. Might as well end it now... for it was clearly inevitable at this point. Shaylum began to embrace the fact that she was lacking in air. It was the easy way out, to join Death's side and end it all...

...But suddenly, at the very line between the beginning and the end, Shaylum had second thoughts. She coughed and gasped for breath, still finding the weights to make things more difficult for her.

-(Maybe this will be easier than I thought?)-

'"Abandoned by your own kind, discarded, like something rotten..."'

Ithique pondered aloud as he looked on at her obvious internal struggle.

'"...I've heard tell of the Lord of this Realm. Cedric. I have half-a-mind to decorate my lair with his severed head. Drip, Drip, Drip. Little more than an arrogant youth whisperings do say, little miss hero. Whisperings say he had an eye on you..."'

The Dark Elf pressed one of his bloody palms against her face, holding her jaw closed as he examined her teeth. It was a callous and calculated gesture.

'"I'll say again that I don't see why - nothing special about you. You hate him though. I can see it in your eyes. Was it just his cocksure arrogance, his incompetance or those abuses of power? Was it something more, I wonder? Did he make a pass at you... before he threw you out like something repulsive."'

Ithique was whispering in her ear, stinking breath in her face. What he was going to offer her was one hope - in the form of the intervention of the Keeper himself.

'"Funny old world isn't it? The Keeper cares more about you than Cedric ever did. When Tesonu discovered that you'd almost died because of that fly... he was more upset than I've ever seen a Keeper, the wuss. I refuse to serve under such a craven emotional weakling. He loves you, the fool, he really does. He wants to accept you into his ranks, he wants to throw you against Cedric. You'll never get revenge, however, because you'll never leave this room!!"'

Ithique raised his shortsword, shunted the weights off her chest and prepared to drive it down into her stomach...

Ithique! Quit doing whatever you're doing and get out in the Guard Room, now!

'"Lucky respite... the Keeper saves you again, but I'll be back for you."'

The Dark Elf pulled the nail from her hand and tossed her back into the prison. He slipped the bloody nail into is pocket and headed out to join the battle.

Shaylum sighed in prison as she rested against the prison bars.

I'm not sure... is his presence becoming a blessing... or a curse? Is it to keep me alive to give me a chance? Or to allow me to suffer...?

...Before he appeared... all was well...

...but before he appeared... it was all a lie...

...Cedric...

Suria the Blue Spawn of Rage

Suria rode Ray, watching as he bombed the Tentacles with Hail. As he got closer to Karla, Suria readied herself to leap off and attack Karla.

"Incoming!"

Ray suddenly did a loop in the air, dropping Suria off in the process. Suria screamed then landed face first into the ground, leaving her quite vulnerable in front of Karla. Suria grumbled and began to pull her head out of the ground when a blue tentacle suddenly wrapped itself around her body. Before Suria knew it, she was being lifted into the air by Karla and shaked about.

"Oh, a female... I like females..." Karla whispered blissfully towards Suria.

"AHH!! LEMMEGO!!!" Suria screamed, still being shaked, "IDON'TWANNABETENTACLERAPED!!"

Karla snorted, "Pah... underaged..."

Within moments, Karla hurled Suria into the wall right below Ray, face first. Suria was upside down with her head planted into the ground. She slowly began to slide down the wall until her head reached the ground.

Suria toppled over onto her back, then stood up.

Suria was mad...



Like an angry kitten...

Suria found herself charging towards Karla, who was focusing on Kar'thus and Tentacle #2.

"RAAARRRGGHHH!!!" Suria shouted as she charged.

She tackled Karla's main body and began to claw apart her skin. Karla was startled by the sudden attack, the shock stunning her for a few moments and thus left her exposed to be counter raped, figuratively speaking. Suria's claws showed Karla absolutely no remorse as they brutally teared Karla up. When Karla recovered from her shock, she twirled her head tentacle around and smacked Suria off of her. Suria managed to get one last swing of her claws in before being knocked towards the wall yet again. By then, Karla's side was already covered in demon claw marks that were hidden by the blood constantly flowing out of her.

Suria didn't give up. She leaped from the wall and dived towards Karla. Suria grabbed onto Karla's head tentacle, then began to bite and nibble on it. Her fangs drilled into Karla's neck, quickly drawing blood as she struggled, trying to shake Suria off of her. Suria held a tight grip on her prey, beginning to scorch Karla's skin black with fireballs that were powered by Suria's own rage. Karla was trying to slip one of her leg tentacles between her head tentacle and Suria in order to pull her off but failed. She wasn't flexible enough to slide one in from beneath Suria, nor were her tentacles long enough to go from Suria's head. Karla panicked, feeling helpless as Suria satisfied her anger through the merciless attack on her.

Suddenly, a different set of Tentacles wrapped themselves around Suria and pulled her away from Karla. It was none other than Tentacle #1. Suria was thrown across the room where she landed on her side, initiating a roll. She quickly got up and tried to recognize her surroundings. Being thrown around and hit as many times as she was, Suria found herself to be a bit distorted. Suria shook her head, but that obviously didn't help. She did manage to locate Tentacle #1, joined by Karla, and allowed herself to be filled with anger. The Tentacle had lost his cheap 99¢ Protect buff, and Karla was preparing to heal some of his earlier wounds.

Suria would not allow it. She wanted to get revenge on Tentacle #1 for throwing her, especially now that he lacked Protect, even if he did buy it at a 99¢ store. Suria began yet another charge, but this time, she was aiming for the first Tentacle Guardian. Suria took a leap as she got closer to her target. However... Suria ended up missing her foe, if only due to her still being distorted, and instead rammed into Karla just as she was casting her Heal spell. Suria's tackle, combined with the other injuries that she inflicted on Karla, was enough to knock Karla unconscious. Tentacle #1 was still healed, but only by 5% due to Karla's spell casting being interrupted by Suria.

Suria found herself standing on Karla and looked down, realizing she got the wrong tentacle, "...Good enough!"

Suria looked towards Tentacle #1 and their eyes met... or would have, if he had any. Suria hissed at him.

"You think you can take me on! I'm gonna ea-!" Suria was hit by Freeze.

Inside of her frozen prison... Suria raged... Drell was a pansy compared to this demon kitten...

TWO WARLOCKS HAVE ENTERED YOUR DUNGEON!

Crystice, joined by Emmra, floated up into Tesonu's realm from the Portal Depths. They rode a cloud, provided by Emmra. The happy Warlock jumped down first, while the irritated one did not desire to join her. Emmra held out her arms to Crystice, who closed her eyes and sighed. Crystice then decided to jump down as well, landing beside Emmra.

"Well, we're in Northland now..." Crystice glanced over at Emmra, her eyes giving Emmra an irritated stare, "...I hope you're happy now."

"I am! I bet I'm going to make Tesonu so happy! And I get to be here with my dearest sister!" Emmra smiled, appearing more happy than usual as she hugged Crystice.

Crystice crosses her arms, not bothering to return the hug and replied strictly, "Not now... I'm not very happy with you."

"But why?" Emmra asked innocently.

"You know exactly why!" Crystice snapped at her sister.

Crystice looked away, and Emmra appeared fairly hurt. There was a brief moment of silence before Crystice glanced at Emmra, noticing her expression, then turned away again and began to walk off.

"...Where are you going?" Emmra asked quietly.

"...We're already here... we might as well make the best of it. Now hurry up!" Crystice ordered coldly.

"Ah... ok!" Emmra replied as she hurried after Crystice, cheering up a bit.

Emmra began to skip ahead of Crystice, thinking of happy memories of her mother and being with Crystice when she was younger in order to brighten her mood for Tesonu. She arrived in Tesonu's Heart Chamber shortly after, with Crystice taking her time to follow.

"Ohh Tesonu~! I'm back~!" Emmra sang aloud, now in a much more joyful mood, "And look who I brought with me!"

Crystice merely glared at Tesonu's Dungeon Heart, not bothering to speak, smile, or even wave. Emmra decided to take it upon herself to speak for Crystice.

"My loving sister, Crystice!" Emma said as she hugged Crystice and smiled, making Crystice look even more gloomy in comparison.

Crystice's arms remained cross. She was not amused.

Ithique

Butcher of Redshore

Ithique burst out of the Guard Room, bloody murder on his face, his crossbow raised.

-(Now who the Inferno do they think they are messing with my Keeper?)-

The Dark Elf leveled his crossbow at the first tentacle, firing off three bolts in succession, before slinging it over his back and drawing his shortsword. He would not sit out this time round. He charged foward, albeit slowly, a battlecry on his lips.

'"TESONU AND BLOOD!"'

It froze Suria and spun to face him just as he launched himself into the air, coming down on the armoured tentacle with the force of an iron maiden closing and with almost as many spikes. It was a crushing blow, but the bodyslam had taken a lot out of Ithique as well as he struggled to regain his feet.

Despite its wounds, the tentacle recovered first and lashed out aggressively with its primary spike-head. It hit his armour and bounced off totally ineffectively, though it did further throw Ithique's balance and give it time to make another strike - right at the dark elf's face.

The blow didn't quite make it that far because Ith bought up his spare forearm to try to ward it off. The forearm got speared, leaving a gaping hole. It wasn't pretty - it was pure agony.

The Butcher was outmatched, but that was no call to give in. He brought his sword into play, making several wild slashes in an attempt to clear himself some space to recover. They didn't make contact, but it mattered little.

The tentacle was on him again blows crashing against his frontal armour, knocking him to the ground with a resounding clank. It was preparing for a death blow, straight between the eyes, when he responded with desperation.

He chucked his shortsword at the beast, lodging it within the creatures neck. It recoiled screaming - or as near as you can get.

Ithique used the reprieve to unsling his crossbow. He aimed not at the first tentacle though, but at ice-encrusted Suria. First, however, he cast his most poweful Protect on her to minimze the damage. Then he fired, shattering her ice prison.

The tentacle came back at him, not even bothering to stop when it could trample right over him. One of his legs broke instantly and his working arm was now limp as well. He screamed in pain, but was nonetheless elated to have dealt such a heavy toll as he did.

Kar'thus, Black Knight
Kar'thus observed around him, watching Suria and Ithique fight. He turned his attention back to Tentacle #2 as it started taunting him. He rose to the bait, but was ready for the Tentacle's attack. As soon as it drew back, he swung his hammer, now in his off-hand, and hit the Tentacle, disrupting the spell he was getting ready to cast. He paused for a few seconds to get his second wind, and decided he REALLY didn't like Ithique's armor at all. He looks at Suria, now freed from her icy prison, and runs over to her. Kar'thus then picks her up.
He tosses her to Tentacle #1, the other tentacle still moving. After tossing a very MAD Demon Spawn, he turns his attention back to his enemy, who managed to get his "head" out of the wall. {Well, at least that Demon Spawn can get somewhere in the air. She might need to get used to the new heights." He rushes back toward Tentacle #2, their fight beginning anew, not even hearing the Mentor announce the arrival of the Warlocks.

Destany trains for a while longer, before backing out of the room for chickens. TWO WARLOCKS HAVE ENTERED YOUR DUNGEON!
She looks up, half-way done with her second chicken. {Two Warlocks? Seems like this Keeper wants much research done.} She finishes her chicken, and moves back to the training room, continuing her training. She felt like she was slowly remembering something......
