After Dasoop has asked his question, Zenek answered that he didn't wanted to give up that easily, trying to convince Drell the dragon to aim the heroes instead of their dungeon. He passed in front of Dasoop and left through the Southern hole in the wall of the Training Room to went back into the lava lake. Dasoop wondered if he should follow him, like he almost did once for Kanquios...

- Aww... Kanquiosah...

Dasoop had her in his mind. In a strange way, he somewhat missed her even though she was a bit unpleasant for him. By thinking about her, a flash suddenly caused him to remember about another girl he met before, Suria his girlfriend. Dasoop really forgot her since he entered into the dungeon and he was absolutely wondering what she became after all that time, remembering all those nice moments they got together, hunting wild animals, doing some funny jokes together and even being alone together for getting some sex...

- Heyah! That's privateah! Grrrr!

Yes, I'm sorry. So, huh... where was I? Oh yeah: Determined to find her back, Dasoop ran straight to the Portal. Standing close to the pit, he looked up, sighing and feeling bad for leaving the dungeon after all the moments he got in the realm, and said to the Keeper:

- Sorry Keepah, but I gatta go. See yah!

With his last sentence spoken here, he jumped inside the pit, and his bed inside the Lair vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving an old Dwarf's head skull there.

(OOC: Evi, I'll look into that for you... XD)

A mindless skeleton wanders out of the prison room, through a training room and eventually arrives in a long corridor. Not two seconds after, it recieves a very strong blow to the head with a sword pummel, popping off its head and knocking it over - the blow dissassembling several of its limbs. Its assaliant and its bodyguard continue to move eastward...

Val'Kaz arrived at his home within his cesspool, and looked around the shelves. Finding one on a subject of interest to him, Graveyards, he picked it up and began to read.

The book way titled "Graveyards; a Concise Guide" and was written in ancient, however most of its facts and tidbits were already known to Val'Kaz, who had read broadly on the subject. Nevertheless, he was required to read it word for word to refresh his memory and inform his keeper of how to construct a graveyard. The sooner I see rotting corpses in the ground, the happier i'll be!

Larquidos
Ahh, minions, it would appear you've all but destroyed that wave of pitiful insects. Ackem, no offense, Dranton. Please, minions, take your leave and rest for a moment - but only for a moment. I've the conciousness to detect a certain band of heroes but 3 corners away.

On a tangent... *slaps Val'Kaz*. The Combat Pit and Torture Chamber are very nearly complete, and you're reading about Graveyards? Get some sense!

Speaking on Torture Chambers, i believe we've a few prisoners who would like to be aquainted with that type of machinery.

Finally, good work imps. Impressive progress up North. Continue west, until you reach the lava. But clear up that trap debris in the Guard Room! You're making my map editing skills look terrible!

Vergil walked back into the guard room gripping his arm, The bandages he had put over it were gone now. They had ripped off during the fighting. Instead of his insane grin when he walked back into the dungeon with a grimace of pain and annoyance.

Damn heroes, I get enough of them myself, I was thinking this would be a keeper fight and then THEY come in...

Half way accross the bridge Vergil was struck with a horrible head ache. They had been happening on and off since his conversation with Ivan about his hero days. This one was the worst yet and he gripped his head as if it was on fire...

Whats wrong Rass? Memorys bothering you? A voice inside Vergils head asked with mockery clearly in its voice.

Shut up. Vergil mumbled as he walked back into the guard room. He was instantly blasted by poisanous gas, and without his mask on. Vergils lungs started to burn badly for a full minute of coughing before Vergil pulled his mask on to filter the poison.

After the gas dispersed Vergil reached up and pulled the mask down. His head hurt and he felt exhausted. He forced himself to stay up and running.

Vergil then got his first good look at Xerina since she fell in the lava. She looked like a damn mummy with all the bandages.

The small amounts of Vergils injurys were nothing compared to hers. He felt like crap. He then discided to talk with her.

Before he did this however he reached up and ripped the bandages covering the empty socket of his eye off. He then tore a peice of his cloak off and wrapped it around his head as a make shift eye patch.

He walked up to Xerina and nodded his head in a greeting.

"Hello Xerina, how are you?

The Lair

"Yer youthful twerp! Yer've not travelled further than the width of yer chubby shell! 'ow would you know about weather!? Ma furry feat 'ave taken me ta many a disappointment of a destination. Many a ungrateful prick has been glad ta see me go."

Thefsuth grit his terrible teeth as he looked up to the ceiling trying to rusted lock boxes of mouldy memories within his head.

"I remember a realm where a fog would stick ta every surface of yer body yer dared show it. There's a realm where great billowing breezes of ashes would gallop threw tha tunnels like horses." Thefsuth squinted with the effort of remembering a third weather system... "Blasted memory of mine. There's a LOT of weather out there! Trust ma wind-worn arse there is!"

Thefsuth struggled in an attempt to get to his feat again, but finding he had nothing to support him he fell to the ground.

"Bah! I'm missin' out on makin' sure you gits don't get yer self killed before the next wave of happy heroes get a chance!"

Thefsuth's leathery face folded in on it's self as he forced him self to get back on topic.

"Pift. No weather underground. No braincells nor wits underground either! 'ow long 'ave you been 'ere Dranton? Wait until a winter have the cheek ta happen at the same time as volcanic whats-it-called. Yer'll be so cold yer'll be wishin' there wasn't no weather under ground."

Thefsuth made a quiet mental note to get started on knitting cosy hats for everyone before they all caught colds and start lopping off their weedy noses in horror.

Summery: Thefsuth taught Dranton a lesson about weather. He asked him how long he'd been in the underworld.

Zenghar kept backing away. The dragon's silence did not make him any more certain about his actions, as he wasn't sure what the dragon was thinking. Perhaps it was good, he thought - since the dragon was thinking, he might realise the mistake of his ways and help the keeper slay Lord Christopher. Suddenly, Zenek bumped into a wall - only it wasn't a wall, it was the bridge. The stench of death filled the area, but the Demon Spawn was happy - he saw dead heroes and no friendly casualties. He swiftly jumped up the bridge, and backed off to the corridor leading into the empty, deserted dungeon where Lord Christopher's army came from. He made sure, though, that the dragon was following him.

Xerina, the Dark Elf

When Vergil approached Xerina, she was still busy collecting cloth from the dead. She didn't even look his way when she answered him.

"Could be better. Could be worse as well, I suppose. We art still alive, at least.", she said, then finally turned toward him and saw a torn piece of his cloak over one of his eyes and wound on his arm, "These skirmishes art not easy on any of us, art they?".

Her hand reached for her backpack and pulled out the last of her unused bandages. She then used them to cover the wound on Vergil's arm. Some of it was still left afterward. She looked at Vergil's covered eye.

"Would thee mind removing that so I could treat it properly?", she asked Vergil.

-Xerina finished collecting the cloth, then bandaged Vergil's arm. She asked Vergil if he'd remove his make-shift eye patch so she could treat his wound properly.

Dranton, the Beetle

Dranton was starting to get annoyed by Thefsuth's oh-so-educational talk about climate and his insults.

"I've been down here since birth.", he answered, "I haven't been in the Overworld, I just heard stories about it. Rumors, mostly.", he said and looked away toward the door in a corridor leading to the Prison, "And I don't mind the cold. It's heat I have issues with. Sure picked a wrong land to work in, didn't I?", he said whilst returning his attention to Thefsuth.

-Dranton talked to Thefsuth.

Vergil lstened to Xerina and answered.

No, these fights are bad, but they will become worse. The fights will increase infuriosity, the heroes will become desperate, try to trick us, crush us and demoralise us. If we fall into despair, we will be overwhealmed. I wont let that happen! I CANT let it happen, ive seen too many friends fall allready in my life.

Vergil then reached up and tapped the make shift eye patch.

Wont be needed, its treated well enough, im just using this as a eyepatch till I can find one myself. Lets jsut hope no more of us are hurt.

Vergil reached over and touched the Dark elfs shoulder and looked up with a apoligetic look on his face.

I am sorry for not being able to help when you fell in the lava, and the ocmplament I made earlier when your bolt didnt do anything. Vergil said with compassion that hadnt been in his voice for years.

Vergil then removed his hand from the Dark elf and took his ripped cloak off and gave it to Xerina.

Here, your planning on making more bandages out of lcoth right? this should help you a good bit. I have a spare cloak and this ones ripped. He said before mumbling a line he knew from a old song.

Its a small town, and we all support the team. The rogue mumbled.

Vergil opened his mouth to say somthing to Xerina, before he could get it out a massive head ache struck him, the worst yet and he stumbled against the wall, yelling.

GAH! MY HEAD! DAMNIT ALL! MY DAMN MEMORYS! He screamed as old memorys flew accross his minds eye lightning fast. In the middle of it the voice returned.

So much pain, its so fun to cause. the voice said still laughing.

Eventually the head ache subsided, and he stayed leaning against the wall, holding his head and breathing hard.

Summary: Vergil spoke with Xerina and handed her his cloak for bandages, on the account he kept a spare. He was then struck by a massive head ache and is leaning against the wall breathing hard.

Kiboo :bile:

Kiboo heard that he could rest, and decided to grab some food and take a very quick nap to recover as much as he could. But he saw Xerina and Vergil talking about something other than battle plans. He dragged himself over to them until his giant stomach was touching both their faces, his horrible smell in deadly range.

:bile: Kiboo: Food coming soon... prepare to eat... no side chatter... meal will spoil...

Kiboo slowly dragged himself over to the Hatchery where he found a few good looking chickens running about. He fell in love with them, and picked all of them. He asked to marry them, and when the priest said to kiss the bride, he gobbled them up and swallowed.

:bile: Kiboo: Tasty...

Afterwards, Kiboo dragged himself over to the Lair and saw Thefsuth and Dranton talking about weather. Kiboo knew all about the weather, it was the only time he bathed, because that's when people threw soap at him. Kiboo liked it though, because it tasted real good.

:bile: Kiboo: Beetle Friend and Stupid Troll talk later... Food coming... prepare for meal... Kiboo sleep...

Kiboo managed to make it over to his Lair, and then went to sleep. His body was still covered in a good set of nearly 20 arrows.

Ivan the Spider

Ivan fell asleep on the ground. A Imp soon grabs Ivan and drags him to the Lair.

Lair

The Imp tossed Ivan into his lair, which woke Ivan up. Ivan crawls out just enough to look out from his lair. Thefsuth and Dranton weren't too far from Ivan's lair, and he could hear their conversation about the weather.

Ivan lies down, breathing in deeply for the fresh air.

"Fresh air, never tasted so good before." Ivan mumbled to himself.

The third party of Heroes, within the east districts of Jarquedos' former dungeon.

The knight, suddenly finding himself a good friend of non other than Sir Christopher, blessed with the honour of leading a dedicated party of heroes and finaly popping the question to the woman that had long been the object of his desire was in a particularly good mood.

"Ahhhh! Feel that lads! It's the feeling of knowing you're about to do some good in the world! Its moments like these where I can really appreciate how good life has been to me. I doubt there's anything in this realm that can turn my lucky streak around."

Elsewhere: "RAWR! I will kill you spectre!"

"Yes! Today will be a good day for us! Haha, I'm sure of that! You know lads, me and Tess accepted our love for each other this morning! I could almost skip with happiness!"

Elsewhere: "I'll tear off your legs! GAAARH!"

"Absolutely! We'll show this keeper what's what and then Sir Christopher and maybe even our King will grant us promotions beyond our wildest dreams! This is just the start of our careers lads!"

Elsewhere: "This is the end of your life child! Stand still so I can gut you and eat you here and now!"

"Hmmm, does anyone else feel like eating a roast after this? I suddenly feel peckish... a fine meal will be a just reward for when we return victorious to our loved ones and- oh crap there's a dragon standing right in front of us with crazy in his eyes.

"S-s-stay completely still... they see only by movement!"

Drell looked down at the party of mortals below him. He took a deep sniff of air up his fiery nostrils, they did not have the stench. But unlike the child that had led him here to this outer guard room of sorts these were flesh and blood and could be destroyed with out the lies of Keepers invading his head.

"Fire cleanses all mould and rot. You are but rats in the palace of the ancients! "

Drell kicked Zenghar behind him back on the path that returns to Larquidos' dungeon. His mighty wings lifted about the Hero party. Imprisoning them in his grasp he took a deep breath.

Although it was all hidden by Drell's wings the sounds of dragon's inferno and the battle cry of humans rang out. The heat was intense and pushed out from the battle with a heat that could blister any skin.

Summery: The heroes and Drell engaged in battle in the outer guardroom, Zenghar was kicked away by Drell.

Xerina, the Dark Elf

Vergil said that the fights were going to become even worse as heroes get more and more desperate, but they shouldn't despair, as that's what heroes are trying to achieve.

"Thou art right. We should try to keep a clear head.", Xerina responded.

After she asked Vergil to treat his eye, Vergil told her it healed already, then placed his hand on her shoulder. He said he was sorry for not being there to help her and apologized for complaining about her bolts not being strong enough. She looked aside and stared at the floor.

"It is not thy fault. And thou art correct about the bolts. I DO need stronger ones...", she replied and got her eyes back on him as he removed his arm from her shoulder.

Vergil then gave her his ripped cloak, so she could make more bandages out of it, saying he's got a spare anyway.

"Thank you...", Xerina replied.

Vergil tried saying something, but he started yelling in pain - and he would've collapsed if there wasn't a wall nearby.

"Art thou alright? What hath happened?", Xerina asked confused, coming closer to him.

Kiboo came and told them they should prepare for battle instead of chatting.

"Can't thee see he is unwell? Have you no compassion for wounded allies!?", Xerina asked angrily, but Kiboo already went away, either because he didn't hear her reply or because he ignored it.

Xerina was focused on trying to figure out what's wrong with Vergil, so she didn't even notice the commotion outside, with dragon chasing Zenek and battling heroes afterward.

Vergil stayed against the wall covering his face and breathing hard. His head ache no longer felt like bliding white hot needles being jammed into his brain, now it just felt like it was twelve o clock all the time and every alarm clock in the world was in his head. The voice in his head was laughing extremly loudly and it made the head ache worse. It just would not shut up!

You better get ready Vergil...these are only gonna get worse and worse! Your memories that you repressed are trying to come back, he he he have fun. The voice said before dissapearing and Vergils head ache began to dissapear.

Even ikf they are...ill make it through a few head aches. He mumbled to himself before looking back at Xerina and she was asking if he was okay.

Kiboo came by and said they need to get ready for the coming battle. Vergil turned back to Xerina. Im okay. He said and was shocked to hear how shaky his voice sounded.

He stumbled over and looked out at the bridge. He saw the large dragon burning heroes alive. He would normally be shocked and worried. He was in a mild state of shock and didnt notice the dragon. He walked back over to Xerina with a mildly worriedl ook on his face. The dragon was all but forgotten in his current state only a few seconds after it was seen.

Yea...im okay, just head aches....really bad head aches.

Vergil then remembred something. Didnt Ivan ask him if he knew a fairy named Methras? Yes he did! He couldnt remember before but did now. Maybe these head aches werent so bad after all.

He ran off looking for Ivan. I need to go! He yelled back at Xerina before running out of the guardroom.

The lair.

Vergil saw Ivan laying down and ran to him as fast as he good in his current exhausted state. When he reached him he saw he was breathing hard, most likly from the gas.

Ivan! do you recall when you asked me about your foster mother Methras?

Summery: Vergil stayed still holding his head in pain before stumbling over to the doorway and seeing Drell cooking the heroes. He forgot this quickly in his shellshocked state and told Xerina he was okay before rushing to talk to Ivan about his foster Mother.

The lair

Thefsuth was about offer some constructive criticism about how Dranton has obviously waisted his life when Kibbo dragged him self past complaining about how lazy and incompetent the two of them were.

Thefsuth's ugly jaw dropped, he looked over to Dranton; only to see he was asleep, so instead he gave the near by Ivan a punch and said "Oi, that Kibbo can do a great impression of me. There might be use for him yet" Thefsuth thought about the possabilities of there being a second Thefsuth...

"On second thought we might 'ave ta kill- Vergil! Yer wedge-head! I still need ta find tha time ta explain ta yer tha true nature of loyalty an' treachery don't I?"

"But I might wait until ma legs start workin' again so I can give yer a good kick while I'm politely informing yer."

Thefsuth continued to chew his own thoughts...

"Maybe after we've defeated the last wave of ham-handed humans and held our victory party in tha casino: Yer'll enjoy that party whether yer like it or not!"

Summery: Thefsuth commented aloud to Ivan and Virgil how Kibbo was beginning to resemble himself, how he still needs to have an argument with Virgil about the moral isues of doing Val'kaz in if things go too far, (but only after he's steady on his two feet again) and how once the heroes have been defeated everyone will Have to enjoy the victory party in the casino.

Well that was work well done.

Ahh, time to construct my torture chamber. Where was i to put it - ahh, right, above the prison. *Builds torture chamber*.
*Larquidos notices Zenek, Drell and the Heroes. He then picks Zenek up, drops him in his lair, picks up a few chickens from the hatchery and drops them in the lair, next to Zenek*.

You've done well, noble demon spawn. Better then i could have hoped for. Collect double pay, if you so wish, and drinks are on the house. Same goes for every creature who slew a creature. Scratch that - drinks all round!

But my imps! No rest for the wicked, i'm afraid, spite your excellent progress. I still don't want you claiming my brothers dungeon from the front, however. We don't want to give Drell any reason to kill himself, do we?
Now, when you reach the lava in about a tiles time, claim the land and alert me. Its time to flank that foolish Lord Christopher, i think.

Ivan, everyone's favorite Spider

Ivan started to breathe more normally now, as the poison gas left his body. Ivan was then punched lighty he thought due to the Exo-Exoskeleton, and turned to Thefsuth.

"Oi, that Kibbo can do a great impression of me. There might be use for him yet."

"Uh... right."

Ivan, turning away from Thefsuth, was about to fall asleep, until Vergil came rushing in.

"Ivan! Do you recall when you asked me about your foster mother, Methras?"

Ivan looked up at Vergil, his tiredness forgotten.

"Yes, what? Do you remember something?"

"So, what did you remember?" Ivan asked again.

"I remember HER for one thing! I remember working with her! Being friends with her."

"Oh! How did you meet her then?"

"Worked in the same hero dungeon... damn. What was it called? ...DuskRiver, I think that was it."

"DuskRiver?"

"Yea... that was it, that was where we met."

"Oh... well, thanks. At least I know where she is being held now."

"Gods... if I was still there when this was going on... I would of went and let her go. Even if it killed me."

"We'll rescue her one day, but we aren't strong enough yet... We may have to stay away from DuskRiver for now."

"True, but by the end of this, either way, I'll have Masons head on a platter, for destroying my life and for everything he's done."

"I have my sights on more than just one. I'm going for the whole group, the ones who have imprisoned Methras. I got one, so far. Should of kept his nose as a Trophy." Ivan amusedly snickered.

"Wont be many left, I took care of most people from the dungeon. Strange, the only one who didnt mock me was the only one I couldnt remember."

"Well, we better get rested up. I smell a Dragon, I'm guessing it is fighting the third wave of Heroes now, since I also smell blood." Ivan said as he rests his body back down.

"Yes... it is. I saw it, and we do need to rest." [i]As soon as Vergil finished talking he stumbled over to his lair and collapsed in his cot.

Ivan shifted himself, as he falls asleep in the entrance of his 'Mini Portal'.

Val'Kaz, after having finished his research, or rather SENTENCE, on the Torture Chamber, decided to go back to the graveyard. He knew he'd likely be getting on Larquidos' nerves - but he also didn't want to be forced into stupid combat such as the likes performed in the combat pit.

And so, as he continued with his readings, he had a thought at the back of his mind; Surely it can't be too long before i'm freed of this horrible flesh?

Val'Kaz is researching the graveyard.

Now, to get some information out of our prisoners, i'd like to give a dwarf the royal treatment. Too bad i lack a mistriss, but oh well...

Ivan, if you'd like, you can go to the torture chamber and make the dwarfs stay a little less pleasant. I know you won't, so if you do, you can collect extra gold next payday. Your choice.

Finally, can SOMEONE finish research on the Combat Pit? Val'Kaz seems to insolent to do as i whim, however he is being productive, so can someone finish off the Combat Pit instead? I've all but the very finest details!

Oh, wait, imps. How about digging out two new rooms to the west of my Casino and Dungeon heart? Make them approximately as big as the rooms they'll be conjoined to, and make a small passage conjoining my Torture Chamber and Casino - i'm sure my darker denizens will enjoy screams whilst they drink themselves stupid.

Larquidos begun to torture a dwarf, offered Ivan the torturer position, built a bridge over west, ordered the digging out of two rooms, asked for the Combat Pit to be finished and asked for a small passge conjoining the Casino and Torture Chamber to be dug.

Ivan jerked awake when the Keeper's voice echoed throughout the Dungeon. Ivan was just about to fall asleep when...

Ivan, if you'd like, you can go to the torture chamber and make the dwarfs stay a little less pleasant. I know you won't, so if you do, you can collect extra gold next payday. Your choice.

Ivan shoots up, wide awake.

"Torture a Dwarf? No problem! I'm on it!"

Ivan rushes to the Torture Chamber.

Torture Chamber

Ivan spots the Dwarf, who is strapped to a Torture Wheel, and makes his way to him, ignoring almost every disturbing Torture Device.

"Dwarfs, oh how I HATE Dwarfs... This should be amusing though."

Ivan jumped on top of the Dwarf, letting loose a loud hiss.

"The Keeper desires infomation, which he suspects that you have! Tell us everything you know, or else, it might be a long and painful night."

The dragon was crawling closer towards Zenghar. With every footstep of the beast, Zenek could feel the heat that Drell was emitting, even without breathing fire. For every step the dragon made, Zenghar made one as well. Suddenly, the demon spawn felt something grab him. The unpleasant cold of the grabber was strangely familiar, and only when he was lifted into the air he realised it was the keeper's Hand of Evil. Before he could do anything, he was already dropped in the lair, and next to him, a few chickens. He then heard the keeper's voice:

"You've done well, noble demon spawn. Better then i could have hoped for. Collect double pay, if you so wish, and drinks are on the house."

"Thank you, keeper" - he replied - "But we still have a dragon problem, I mean sure, it might kill all remaining heroes and everything but then still, it might and probably will go for our like dungeon heart, and such a dragon is not only like proper powerful beast, we might not be able to defeat it, but also he could be an useful ally I mean... yeah. Well, either way I'm pretty sure you will come up with something I mean you're like pretty smart and stuff and... thanks for the chickens!"

Zenghar ate all of the chickens the keeper gave to him, then proceeded to make a lair. It was a simple demonspawn lair, decorated with sticks and stones. It was quite messy to be honest, but Zenek didn't mind. He then went to the training room. He looked around and said quietly to himself.

"Well Dasoop isn't here I wonder where he is I mean he said he would go training right I mean yeah he should be here if he wanted to train he probably either went for some chickens or finished already... either way I'm sure he won't mind if I start without him.

Larquidos acknowledged Zenghar's speech.

Yes, you're right!

Hold up on the party, folks, we've got some work to do, or rather, YOU've got some work to do. Thefsuth, Kiboo, i'd like for the both of you to begin constructing some traps to replace those lost when the heroes attacked. Some sentries, a freeze, a trigger and a boulder should do it. Oh, and a steel door!

Hmm, with all the tasks i'm assigning it doesn't seem like anyone will get any time to actually drink... I guess we can leave that to the holidays*.

*Disclaimer: All and any holidays recieved with in my realm will be pay-day deducted. Each creature shall recieve approximately 2 days holiday per year per service. Any chicken, drink or food consumed whilst on holiday will be quadriple charge, even if i've proclaimed it to be on the house. Any creature caught acting as if on holidays without prior mentioning of it to me shall recieved 100 slaps and a year in prison. Holidays are not for everyone; make sure you're in good favour before asking me.

Xerina, the Dark Elf

Xerina watches Vergil running off from the Training Room, wondering what was the cause of that. But there was no time to ponder on it. She watched the dragon battling a band of heroes in the distance. Soon after, she heard Keeper Larquidos' orders.

"Whoever wins, he is going after us...", Xerina tought.

She loaded a bolt in her crossbow and continued watching the battle in the distance.

After a bit of eventless training, Zenghar got a bit bored of it, although he still kept going. He hit a training dummy and suddenly felt stronger.

Zenghar advanced to level 2

Now, motivated more than before, he continued with his training. However, he suddenly started to choke. He started coughing really loud, and then spat out a bit of fire, which set one of the dummies ablaze.

"Niiiiiiiiice!" - He said to himself, and switched to another dummy. Occasionally, he also did some target practice with his newly learned spitting ability on the moving targets set on the wall.

"... in most cicrumstances, it is good to pay respect to the dead via the use of tombstones. In the case of our graveyard, however, tombstones primary purpose is to carve spells onto to allow for the souls of the deceased to form into that of a vampires soul..."

"Heroes might disagree, but it is certainly a bad idea to bury your dead. This slows down the rate of decomposition of the corpses and will thus hinder your vampire production. You do want an undead horde, don't you?!"

Vergil groaned in his cot a slowly managed to push himself up. His head wasnt aching anymore but it WAS throbbing. Now instead of clocks it just felt like a wood pecker was in his head.

Gods....its better but not all the way... Vergil mumbled and then began to wonder what that voice he kept hearing was.

It sounded...familair....a echo of my own but....colder. Vergil thought to himself before deciding that it was time for him to get up and prepare for battle.

He saw Thefsuth in his lair and got an idea. He walked up to him.

Thefsuth! Are you able to make me a pair of gauntlets? He asked as his old pair had been completly destroyed and fallen apart all the way during his last fight.

Xerina, the Dark Elf

Xerina went to the Bridge so she could continue watching the battle between the dragon and heroes. If anyone came their way, she wanted to know about it immediatelly.

The battle was still raging on. Heroes tried rushing the dragon from different sides, but it did the m no good. The dragon released the word of power and powerful energy blast sent the heroes flying all over the outer Guard Room. Still, they quickly managed to get up and continued their assault, trying to avoid dragon's fire breath. Dragon WAS very powerful, but heroes still had strength in superior numbers. It still seemed uncertain who would win this battle...

Rosa
The Symbol of the Apocalypse

Entrance Portal

A blue winged, pink skinned female Fly burst from the Entrance Portal and smacked her head against the top of the Portal. She flew in circles around the Portal's pillars for a moment, and then the Entrance Portal's mist activated.

The female Fly laughed to herself that the effect of the Portal was too slow and began flying off to the Lair. She created a very simply Fly Lair, then flew over to the Dungeon Heart.

"Zoom! ZOOM!" the Fly flew around the Dungeon Heart's pillars quite quickly, "Rosa name Rosa! Rosa fast Fly, hi Larquidos! Rosa hungry..."

Rosa flew off in search for the Hatchery. Once finding it, she snatched a chicken from it quickly and gobbled it up. Then Rosa explored the rest of the dungeon for something fun to do. She entered the bridge, ignoring the battle, and found Xerina.

Rosa circled Xerina as if she were prey. And to some extent, Xerina was Rosa's prey, or at least her victim. Rosa landed on Xerina's head and for a moment was quiet. But then she readied her loud voice.

"RRRROOOOOOSSSSSSSAAAAA SSSSSSSAAAAAYYYYY HHHHIIIIIII!!!!" Rosa shouted.

Rosa's wings fluttered, giving Xerina's head a short breeze until Rosa took off and began flying around and around Xerina's head and body then head again endlessly.

"WhatDarkElfname? RosanamedRosa! Whatname? Rosawantplay! DarkElfwantplay? Rosalikehideandgoseek! DarkElflikegame? RosawantPLLLAAAAAAYYY!!! BZZZZZT!!"

Xerina, the Dark Elf

Xerina continued to watch the battle in the distance until a fly landed on her head and shouted a greeting. Annoyed and a bit frightened, she looked at the battle again. Heroes and the Dragon were too busy fighting and didn't react to the overly-loud fly. Xerina sighed in relief, just as Rosa started flapping her wings again, then took off and buzzed around Xerina asking to play with her.

"Can thou not be quiet?", Xerina replied angrily, "The enemy could hath heard thee!", she paused and watched the fly circling around her, "Battlefield is not a playground. Thou should return to the dungeon.", she said and moved to the corridor between the Bridge and the Guard Room before Rosa could attract any more unwanted enemy attention, "My name is Xerina.", she replied in the end.

-Xerina told Rosa to be more quiet near the enemy and that she should return to the dungeon, then walked to the corridor between the Bridge and the Guard Room.

Entrance Portal

Rosa followed Xerina to the trap-filled hallway leading to the Guard Room. She buzzed around Xerina, flying arounder her legs and her wings possibly damaging Xerina's bandages.

"Xerina!" Rosa shouted through her loud annoying, yet somewhat cute voice, "WhyXerinaintoiletpaper? Rosawantplaydressup! RosabeSpider! RosaloveSpider! BZZZT!"

Rosa landed on Xerina's head, her wings slowly began to stop fluttering.

Rosa's voice was suddenly weary, "Rosa sleepy..."

Rosa's eyes closed, her feet curled, and her wings rested against her small pink body. Tiny buzzing sounds were heard for a moment but then Rosa leaped from Xerina's head and her wings spread out. She flew out to the bridge and into the battle of raging warriors.

A small Fly such as herself was absolutely no importance when fighting a Dragon, but even so, Rosa did a single swish across the battle and came out with a bit of fire on her wings.

"ROOOSSSAAAHHHOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!" she screamed and flew around in circles and back to Xerina. She circled Xerina while yelling the words, "FIREFIREFIREFIREFIRE!!!"

Rosa hit the wall and fell to the ground, knocked out. Her wings were still buzzing a bit due to natural instinct but her pink body had some fire on it that hadn't had a chance to grow with her flying around so fast.

Zenghar gathered flaming saliva in his mouth, and forcefuly spat it on a training dummy. The dummy spinned viciously, nearly hitting Zenek, but he quickly dodged out of the way. The demon spawn then counter-attacked with all his force doing a spinning attack with his tail. The dummy spun around once more, but it came to a full halt as it hit Zenghar's head.

"Ouch!" - Said the demon spawn "I think I've had enough for now... those bruises are surely going to stay here for a bit I mean yeah if I keep training like that for longer I might seriously get hurt I mean come on!" - Zenghar shouted, and for the last time, he shoot his spit at a target placed at the wall. However, it missed and left a black burn mark on the stone wall. Dissapointed, he left towards the hatchery. He heard familiar sounds...

"Hey, isn't it...?" - He thought, and as he looked inside, he saw a silhouette of a demon spawn - "Hey, Dasoop! What's up!" - he shouted, as he went running towards the second demon spawn. However, he was shocked when he came near - the creature wasn't the usual greenish colour Dasoop was, but red. It wasn't a slight red tint either, the lizard was vividly red, which ensured Zenghar that certainly it wasn't Dasoop at all.

"Hey, you aren't Dasoop sorry I mean you look kinda similar besides errr, nevermind actually well pardon my manners my name's Zenghar and I am a demon spawn as you can probably see and what's your name friend?"

"...a new Keeper... a new home..."

The spiders walked forward, looking for the Dungeon Heart, until a door opened, revealing the Heart.

"Hi keeper. I'm Skios and she is Krua. We aim to kill all so-called goodly Heroes. I'll try to serve you as a warrior, while Krua could help as researcher, as well as a supporter in combat. We've lost much of our power due to some annoying Wizard, but we'll get over it."

"Oh, and we're also very tired, because we've spent several hours walking to get here."

The two spiders walked to the Lair, where both created their lairs to sleep in.

Xerina, the Dark Elf

Rosa started asking a chain of questions, giving Xerina no time to respond to any of them. She then landed on Xerina's head and it looked like she planned on sleeping there - to Xerina's annoyance. But instead Rosa suddenly flew away toward the lava river. Few seconds later, she flew back shouting, screaming and flying in circles, leaving a small trail of smoke behind her. Soon she hit the wall and fell unconcious, with some fire still burning on her back.

"Thou art annoying...", Xerina said to herself, "...but thou art an ally.", she said and pulled out the cloak that Vergil gave her.

She folded it once and swung it to extinguish the flames on Rosa's body. After several 'hits', she put the fire out, then put the cloak back into her backpack and went back to her guard duty, reasoning that an Imp will drag the Fly back to her Lair. But unknown to Xerina, all of Larquidos' Imps were busy claiming Jarquidos' Dungeon.

After some time passed and no Imps came for the Fly, Xerina sighed and decided to take her to the Lair herself. She picked Rosa up and cayrried her to the Lair in her arms. She noticed several new faces on her way to the Lair, but didn't pay too much attention to them. Since Rosa was the only Fly in this Dungeon, she quickly found her Lair and put her in it to recover.

"I could use some rest as well...", she thought and went to her Lair, falling asleep almost instantly.

-Xerina doused the flames on Rosa's back and carried Rosa to her Lair, then went to sleep herself.

"I don't know..."

"We'll find it. First I want to eat something."

Skios went to the Hatchery, finding it using the scent of fresh chicken. Krua followed him. When they reached the Hatchery, both grabbed a few chickens and ate them, Skios leaving a very bloody mess behind. After their meal, they decided to try out one of the halls, and coincidentally, they found the training room right away. Skios immediately jumped on top of a training dummy and repeatedly bit it.


"...Skios... those dummies... they need to be here for longer than just today..."

Skios didn't reply. Krua tried out an ice spell, but she only managed to summon a few drops of cold water. She tried it again, but without much success.

"...Damnit..."

"More Spiders! I can't wait to talk with them, but I have a pesky Dwarf to deal with first." Ivan whispered to himself in excitment.

Ivan then grabs a chicken, and after crushing it to a tiny little ball, slips it into his mouth. Ivan heads to the Torture Chamber.

Krua was still trying to cast a proper Freeze. She focused intensely on the ball of ice which she was trying to summon in between het front legs, which she held diagonally above and in front of her.

It didn't work, though: all she could get was a small raincloud that quickly melted into thin air.

"...urgh... why... why doesn't it work..."

She tried it again. A slightly bigger rainclould appeared, although that didn't last long either. The slow but steady improvement motivated her to continue trying, however.

Still, despite several more tries, it still doesn't work.



As for Skios, he's still chomping up 'his' training dummy. In a way, he's making more progress than Krua - he's actually doing things that would be effective in practice - , and in another way, he doesn't - because he's not particularly improving at anything non-basic.

Rosa
The Symbol of the Apocalypse

Entrance Portal

Rosa slept in the Lair, her wings constantly buzzing.

"Food... bzzt... sleep... bzzt... friend... bzzt... Lena... bzzt... chicken... bzzt..." Rosa murmured in her sleep.

Rosa's eyes opened and she jumped in the air. The moment her feet left the ground, her wings took off and she flew across the Lair noisily. She buzzed and stretched her legs, not paying attention to where she was going.

Somehow she ended up in the Heart Chamber and smacked Keeper Larquidos' Dungeon heart. She spiraled off onto the wall and looked back at the Dungeon Heart.

"BZZT! RosawantflyflyflywatchwheregoRosahurtRosawantPLAAA AYYYY!!!!" Rosa buzzed, annoyed at first.

The female Fly took off and flew up to the Dungeon Heart. She sat on the top of the Dungeon Heart, and buzzed a few times.

"Larquidos! RosawantfriendRosawantplaywillyouplaywithRosa?" Rosa asked Keeper Larquidos.

Rosa flew off and circled the Dungeon Heart buzzing loudly, repeating to ask if Larquidos wanted to play until she hit the wall and fell down. She shook herslef and returned to the air, and flew far into the distance.

Rosa entered the Training Room and began cicling the top. She swooped down and grabbed the head of one Training Dummy. She attemped to pull it off and buzzed loudly as she was unable to do so. Rosa sighed and continued to pull on the Training Dummy's head with no success.

Rosa decided upon a different approach. She flew up to the ceiling, and flew as fast as she could towards the Training Dummy's head. She smacked it and the head flew off. Rosa was stunned and smacked into the wall nearby Krua. She flew up into the air for a moment, looking about for what happened when the head of the Training Dummy thumped her head and she fell flat on the ground.

Rosa, still conscious, looked up and buzzed quietly. She was clearly dazed and the helmet of the Training Dummy fell on top of her, trapping her inside. The helmet, still under the force of Rosa smacking into it, quickly smacked the wall and bounced off and towards Krua with a loud clanking sound. The helmet began to slow down as it struck the ground, after flying right over Krua, and hit another wall.

The helmet spun a few times back to Krua, and Rosa buzzed several times within in a deep confusion. Rosa remained in the helmet and appeared to barely fit inside due to her small size. She attempted to get out, but also appeared to be stuck.

"HelpRosa! Rosastuck!" her voice echoed out to Krua along with a few buzzes.

The dummy's head hit her and the helmet of the dummy trapped her inside shortly after. The helmet hit the wall a few times with loud clangs, and finally stopped near Krua. Rosa appeared to be stuck and asked for help.

Vergil sighed, giving up on getting a answer from the troll. He walked over to his bag and began digging through it. After the last fight, he was out of poisens to tie to his knives.

After digging around enough he pulled out a small box, about the size of a drinking flask. he opened the box to reveal numerous vials of the poisen he puts in the small sacks he throws tied to his knives.

He pulled a few out along with a few sacks and poured the poisen in each one, careful not to breath it in ofcourse. after he finished he tied the bags shut and then tied them to his belt for later. He also pulled out a replacment cloak for the one he had given Xerina.

Vergil walked out of the lairs and heard screaming from what sounded like a dwarf. He walked towards the screaming and soon found himself in a torture chamber, a dward being tortured by Ivan and Kiboo. The dungeon was queit and Vergil didnt have anything else to do.

Vergil walked up to Ivan and Kiboo.

You two want any help? he asked with a grin on his face.

After many tries, Krua finally gets her Freeze spell to work fully. Although she was getting very tired, she still wanted to try it out one more time, on one training dummy. She shot an ice ball at the dummy, completely encasing it in a block of ice.

"...finally..."

Shortly after, though, a fly was flying around erratically in the training room, eventually managing to smack one dummy's helmet and trapping itself in it. This was followed by the fly, trapped inside, loudly buzzing that she needs help to get out. Krua walked over to the helmet and lifted the helmet, freeing the fly.

However, Skios was getting hungry just as the fly got freed and he spotted him.

"Hey, a fly! Just as I felt like eating one!"

Skios aggressively ran after the fly, at a rapid pace; he's trained enough to regain Speed Monster.

"...You'd better get away really quickly..." Krua told the fly. Deciding not to bother Skios, who's chasing the fly, she went to her lair to sleep.

From her lair, Krua could hear a dwarf screaming through one of the doors. She wonders what's happening there, but decided not to bother watching.

"I'll get you, my little meal!" could also be heard, but she didn't bother doing anything anyway. She just tried to sleep, despite everyone being noisy around her.

Summary: Both Spiders hit level 2 and learned their spells for that level. Krua has rescued Rosa and went to the lair to sleep. Skios is hungrily chasing Rosa.

Rosa
The Symbol of the Apocalypse

Rosa flew up in the air and buzzed happily. She sat down on Krua and buzzed playfully. But then Krua told her to run, and Rosa became confused.

"Run? WhyRosagorun?" Rosa asked Krua, puzzled, "Weplayhideandgoseek? Rosalikegame!"

Rosa spot Skios running towards her and flew up in the air. She buzzed, annoyed, and got the wrong idea.

"Cheater! Younocount to 10! Cheatercheatercheater!" Rosa buzzed at Skios, "Rosaplayanyways!"

And at that very moment, Rosa took off. She soared over the roof of the Training Room and entered the Treasury. She began digging around in the gold, causing it to pour out of its proper bags. Rosa couldn't find a good hiding spot, and so she raced off to the Hatchery. She saw Xerina and buzzed happily, then flew over and sat on Xerina's head.

"RosasayhiXerina! Rosawantplay! Rosaplayhideandgoseek! RosaplaygamewithSpider! Xerinawantjoin?" Rosa asked just as a call from Skios entered the Hatchery, "I'll get you, my little meal!" Rosa buzzed happily, "HecallRosameal! Rosalookgood? SpiderloveRosa! BZZT!"

Rosa figured that food was good, and if Skios was calling her food that she was good. But for him to call her his meant to her that he thought she was good to him.

Rosa flew through a passage into the Library and spot Dranton the Beetle. She flew over him and buzzed.

"Rosasayhibeetle! Whatbeetlename? RosalookforhidingspotfromSpider! SpiderloveRosaandplaygamewithRosa!" Rosa buzzed loudly to Dranton.

Rosa dropped down and began grabbing books near Dranton with her tiny feet and pulled them off the shelf and onto the floor. Once about 10 books lay beside Dranton, Rosa flew inside the empty space and sat down, buzzing noisily.

"Shh bzzt!" Rosa whispered as slowly as she could to Dranton, which was the speed of an average creature, "Rosa hiding."

Rosa thought it was a way of calling her pretty and thought Skios loved her, then flew off in the Library and said hi to Dranton. Then she took out about 10 books and made a pile near Dranton, went into the empty space, and proceded to hide while buzzing.

Xerina, the Dark Elf

As Xerina was roasting her meal, Rosa flew into the Hatchery, energetic as always. As usual, she landed on Xerina's head. She said she was playing hide and seek with a spider and asked if she wants to join.

"Playing with a spider!?", Xerina thought to herself, a bit surprised.

But before she could reply to Rosa, a spider crawled into the Hatchery, calling Rosa his meal. Obviously, Rosa mistook that for a compliment and thought the spider likes her. Soon, Rosa flew off Xerina's head and into the Library, followed by the spider.

"Oh, Dark Gods, art thee punishing me for something I hath done?", Xerina thought, "Or is this one of thy tests?".

Xerina left for the Library intending to stop the spider from eating Rosa. When she arrived, she saw the confused spider, obviously unaware of Rosa's "hiding spot". Of course, Xerina's improved sight allowed her to find Rosa hiding among the books on one of the bookshelves almost immediately.

"She should be safe there.", Xerina though and sighed, as she got back to roasting the chicken, "That fly might end up in a serious mess one of these days.".

-Xerina wanted to stop Skios from eating Rosa, but saw he couldn't find her and got back to roasting her chicken.

"Name's Dranton.", Dranton replied then thought, "Playing hide-and-seek with a spider? That's one dangerous game she's playing.".

Rosa took several books off the bookshelf and went to hide in there. Soon afterward, a spider entered looking for her.

Dranton just shook his head, "I should probably stay out of it and get back back to researching.", then continued researching the Combat Pit.

-Dranton told Rosa his name and decided not to get involved in the "game".

The Symbol of the Apocalypse

"Bzzt... bzzt... bzzt..." Rosa buzzed "silently" to herself while watching Skios look for her.

He eventually left, to her disappointment, and she buzzed, bored. Rosa flew up from her hiding spot, knocking a few books over in the process which barely missed Dranton. Then she flew out of the Library and returned to the Lair. Then she sat onto her Lair and her normally loud buzzing began to dim to a slower and quieter pace.

Rosa feel sleepy...

She was closing her eyes, readying herself for sleep... until she saw a hat sticking out of a Spider Lair. Rosa flew up excitedly from her Lair, her eyes opened widely, and then she buzzed loudly and annyoingly while flying over to the Spider Lair's hat. She knocked it over and sat on the Spider known as Ivan.

"Bzzt... ROSASAYHHHHIIIIIIIIIII!!!!" she buzzed over Ivan's head with a loud enough buzz to wake even a Bile Demon, "Whatname? RosanameRosa! BZZT! Rosawantplay! Rosawantnewfriend! Rosamakefriendspider! RosanoknownamebutspiderloveRosa! SpidercomplimentRosa! ROSAWANTPLAAAAAYYYYYY!!!

Rosa fluttered her wings gravefully, creating wind on Ivan's head, and then flew up into the air quickly and then hit her head on a torch. Then she collasped onto Ivan.

"Rosa feel hurt... Rosa hit head... Rosa want nap... bzzt..." Rosa whispered before closing her eyes, and began sleeping, "Bzzt... bzzt... Lena... bzzt... mommy... bzzt..."

Rosa flew through the battling creatures, until her wings caught fire by the Dragon's breath, and she spiralled out of control into the lava, and her skin burned. Rosa screamed and buzzed madly in pain, but then she grew quiet and joined both Roach and Lena...

A lighting cloud forms over the Portal in Keeper Larquidos's dungeon, and a red glow emits from the darkness. The lighting crashes, echoing throughout the Dungeon, and a figure jumps from the very depths of the Portal, onto the dungeon floor.

Once the figure landed, the lighting cloud disappeared.

"Here... at last..." Rob mumbled.

Rob stands straight up, his red infected eye glowing in the mild darkness.

"Dungeon Heart..."

Rob drags himself, and his overly sized Axe, to Keeper Larquidos's Dungeon Heart.

Rob turns away from the Dungeon Heart, and goes to the Lair.

Limflu
The Corrupter of Souls Dark Mistress
"Cold-Blooded Kitty"

Eartle
The Calm Tea-Loving Wise Old Protective Sorceror
"The Wise"

The dungeon rumbled a bit, and a pair of large rocks lifted by magic rose from the Entrance Portal. A large elderly male Warlock stood carrying his staff carefully while keeping an eye out on his surroundings rode one rock.

A young beautiful female Dark Mistress with blond hair barely passing her shoulders was atop the other rock. She wore a cloak as well, and wasn't paying much attention but playing with her claw a bit.

A DARK MISTRESS AND A WARLCOK HAVE ENTERED YOUR DUNGEON!

"You may step down..." spoke the deeply voiced Warlock."Whatever old man..." the young woman said carelessly, yet used a sweet and friendly tone.

The Dark Mistress stood up on the rock and jumped off, landing perfectly. She turned and looked at the Warlock, who was glaring ever since he was insulted being called "Old man". But he took a jump down and landed nicely next to her but it was extremely poor in comparison. The Dark Mistress stuck her tongue out at him and began to continue ahead, not bother waiting.

The old man strugged up and "rushed" after her, walking with his staff almost like a blind man. The two made their way to the Heart Chamber, and the old Warlock was first to neel respectfully towards the Dungeon Heart.

"I am Eartle," Eartle whispered loudly to Keeper Larquidos, "I am a great Sorcerer and will work under your command Keeper Larquidos. I am an excellent researcher, and a fine spell caster. I can build defenses with my magic castings on your creatures, and I offer years of experi-"

The Dark Mistress was making bored faces and rolled her eyes several times before losing her short patience and taking action.

Eartle was kicked over by the Dark Mistress, who took his spot but remained standing, "Move along old man, my turn. I am Limflu and I am not your b****." She turns to Eartle, "Short and simple, straight to the point like how Daru would!"

Eartle returned to his feet, "It would be wise of you not to mention the names of your comrades especially one such as him in a new dungeon where creatures may become suspicious of such character activies and snoop around your background in search for wh-"

Eartle stopped speaking and sighed when he saw Limflu walking off in search for the Lair. He followed her and he created his own Lair in the West side of the dungeon, right against the wall. It was farthest away from loud prisoners, Combat Pit matches, and clucking chickens. Only thing to hear was the quiet beating of the heart which was muffled by several thick walls.

Eartle's Lair was a bed with curtains attached to the wall to cover it. Next to it was a chair with many books, and tea. The chair had a basic brown and dark green mixture, and the bed was standard with no special colors.

Limflu created her Lair one tile away from Eartle's just north. Limflu's Lair was a tall "tent" looking object, and four large candles were attached to each corner. Inside the tent was a bed and also room for Limflu to change as she is probably one of few dungeon minions who dislikes the "same thing". It is also very decrative with dark color designs of dark blue, red, and black.

"Any particular reason you built your Lair next to mine?" Eartle asked Limflu curiously. Limflu smiled brightly, yet oddly somewhat darkly, she spoke half sarcastic and half seducive, "Because if I wake up and I'm bored, you're the first one I'll have accompany me..."

Eartle became extremely nervous as he knew what she meant. To tease him further, Limflu yawned and wrapped her arm around his neck with a taunting smile.

"Yup, you have priority..." Limflu whispered before taking her arm off him and pushing him away, "Now if you excuse me, I am going to sleep."

Eartle, not given another chance to speak, watched Limflu enter her Lair and he did his own as well. The two fell asleep in their respectve Lairs after a few minutes.

Limflu and Eartle
The Opposing Oposites

Limflu had woken up and decided to wake up Eartle as well. She was amused at the thought of startling the old man who probably needed his sleep. It was a bonus as well as temptation for her to have a little fun.

Carefully and quickly, mostly the latter, Limfu made her way to the outside of Eartle's Lair. She prepared herself carefully and leaped in prepared to shout.

"WAKE UP!" she shouted upon entering Eartle's Lair.

To Limflu's surprise, no elderly startle came from his bed. In fact, Eartle wasn't even there. Suddenly a tap on her upper back and Eartle's voice entered her ears.

"Looking for someone?" Eartle asked, slightly amused.

Limflu nearly jumped, but she forced herself not to. As surprised as she was, she suddenly remembered other failed attempts at early morning surprises on the old man. It had been so long she forgot about them.

"N-Not at all? What makes you think that?" Limflu took her usual teasing tone towards the end of her question, growing more confidence in her tone as well.

Eartle let out a loud and brief chuckle, which Limflu had gotten used to.

Eartle grew more serious suddenly, "We probably should get to work for the Ke-" "Work? Hah! Like I'm going to bother, let someone else do it. I'm off to have some fun slicing heads!" Limflu interrupted him.

Limflu then began heading off in her own direction. Eartle too had his own things to do.

Limflu
The Dark Mistress with Your Sanity

Limflu headed off to the Casino. She thought it would be a good time for real fun and so she began walking up to the counter. She prepared to give an Imp some gold but realized she had nothing.

"Uhh... whoops...!" Limflu whispered, embarresed.

With one swift movement, she slipped away from the Casino and found something else to do: Train.

Already Eartle was in the Training Room, as well as bunch of other creatures. Limflu began practicing her torturing skils by stabbing a Training Dummy's body all over, but tried to avoid any real critical areas that would "kill it". This method would be alot more painful for her unfortunate enemy.

Meanwhile, Eartle waited patiently for Limflu to be off. Without any orders or given information, Eartle didn't know what to research. So he took this opertunity to train. He headed off to the Training Room and began practicing "Missile". Eventually Limflu entered the Training Room as well, but he ignored her for the time being and focused on his training.

Xerina, the Dark Elf

As everything was "quiet" (as quiet as possible, considering Guard Room's next to the Training Room full of creatures training), Xerina pulled out the cloth she collected. She slowly started making bandages out of the cloth, looking outside the dungeon from time to time, just in case.

Dranton, the Beetle

Keeper finally announced the Combat Pit was researched and asked everyone to work on something productive. Dranton looked over the Library and saw a warlock researching Graveyard, so he decided to research it as well. Unfortunately, he fell asleep soon after he took the book and didn't get any research done. When he finally woke up and realized what happened, he quickly grabbed the book and started researching, embarrassed.

(Lol, been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long since i made a post with Vally)

Val'Kaz was still sitting in the library, completely engrossed in his book. He hadn't moved for an extremely long time and as such, time seemed to stand still. He was amazed when he felt his obnoxious keeper probe his mind.

He was surprised when he glanced up and saw other graveyard books displaced and that pretty-cool-guy-spider leaving the room.

And he was shocked when he heard a loud bellow.

"The Graveyard has been Researched, well done research team!"

_____________________

Great, now with that done, i believe theres some stuff that needs to happen. Imps, i'd like you to dig a 3 by 3 room directly adjacent to the torture chamber - we're going to give our little dwarvern friend yet another reason to give us our well deserved information.

My apologies for the lack of formalities, newcomers, but this is an important time. Infact, i believe the very reason for my presence in this realm is soon to be furfilled - the question is, will you follow me to my new land when i slaughter that pig Christopher.

Creatures, i'd like for you all to prepare. Get a final nap, slash a final dummy, fill your stomach and stand guard in the guard room when you can. I won't lie, theres a potential for alot of discomfort here, for I don't think catching Christopher will be easy - I may have to pick alot of you up. Do not complain and you shall be rewarded before i depart to lands afresh.
You have your orders, imps, creatures. Furfill them.

Necrotyc; No, I didn't forget about him :D

The mindless skeleton that was once a mighty warrior had wandered far. He was nearing a room with broken heart pillars and an apparently solitary Knight... no, reagent lord.

Limflu :mistress:
The Physical Beauty of a Woman Who You Can't Get a Piece of

Limflu had kept training and then she finally leveled up!

Haha! Finally, now I can really mock that old man!

Limflu looked over at Eartle and saw him firing Missile and realized he leveled up too.

Darn...

Limflu looked up and heard Larquidos speak.

"Yeah there better be a good reason why you didn't honor my presence with a red carpet," Limflu teased Larquidos, "And maybe I'll follow you... if you're still alive that is, heehee. Now I hope you don't think I'd be intimidating by some coward in hiding with a dumb name like "Christopher", ah hahaha!"

After her short tease for Larquidos, Limflu skipped her way over to the Hatchery where she stabbed a chicken with her claw. It squirmed for a moment until it died, then Limflu plucked it off and ate it. She took some time to swing her claw around to throw the blood at the other chickens.

Afterwards, she decided to head over to her Lair. This was simply because she didn't want to march into battle with a cloak. Limflu stepped inside her Lair and looked at her old light pair armor she had.

This thing is in ruins, it'll probably break before I stab that Knight to death. And then I'll have nothing, nudity does not fit me! Maybe I can get an Orc or something to fix this thing... Ah well for now...

Limflu took a change of clothes into her casual set of clothing. Unlike most creatures, she's not very fond of wearing the same thing everyday and actually makes sure she can bathe every once in a while. The smell of most dungeons still creep her out.

And with a ready set of clothing, Limflu became ready for battle! She quickly made her way to the Guard Room and found Eartle already there. She growled at her slowness compared to the old man, but tried to ignore him. Instead, she looked up at the ceiling, or in other words at Larquidos.

"I'm ready to go rip some hearts out, whenever you need me Keeper~" Limflu teased with a flirty tone, followed by a wink and small laugh.


___________________________



Eartle :warlock:
The Old Guy Who's Watching

Eartle finally leveled up, and had successfully learned Missile. Finally, he made a fine support unit! He fired Missile at several targets, and struck them dead on considering Eartle naturally controlled good aim and steady hands. He also is excellent at waiting for the right moment.

But then Larquidos spoke, and Eartle kneeled down respectfully to his master.

"Fight with honor and loyalty for your name, Larquidos, and we shall defeat Christopher and see through it to the end," Eartle replied to Larquidos.

Lord Christopher? I've heard his name before... So he's here in Crystalbarrow... This should be an interesting and exciting battle for me...

Eartle stood up, and began heading to the Guard Room as he felt not hungry and had already slept. He stood at the center of the Guard Room, alone and first to arrive. Yet such glory of being first meant nothing to Eartle. No, it is who fights best and honerably that justify true victory and honor.

Later Limflu showed up, and gave Larquidos another little tease. To this Eartle sighed, and uncontrollably rolled his eyes.

That girl and her child teases and her joy to torment the male heart... She better not let the power flow into her head or it will surely be her undoing.

Limflu had waited some time, as well as Eartle, and then she looked up at Larquidos' ceiling. She tapped her foot impaticently and finally spoke out.

"Hey Larquidos where is everybody? Why are we the only ones here?" Limflu asked him. Eartle turned to her, "Limflu, be patient..." "I'm not going to waste my time here, old man!" Limflu shot back at him, "So I'll come back, Larquidos tell me when everyone else gets here..."

Eartle sighed and Limflu returned to the Training Room where she began randomly attacking dummies.

:dragon: Drell

With a extremely hot, long and persistant jet of fire, coupled by a wing hug from which the heroes simply couldn't escape, Drell had won the battle.

The Echoing screams of his heroic victims were so loud, the entire realm shook from their screaching and not a single creature, dead or alive, wasn't moved or distraught by the terrible screams.

Having won the battle, Drell decided it was time he treated himself to a snack. Fortunately, a snack had presented itself at his feet.

"Charred to perfection!"
_____

"AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH!"

:lord: Lord Christopher
After having charged Necrotyc and hearing the terrible wails of his comrades, Christopher was extremely worried. So worried, infact, that he decided it was high time to get the hell out of this godforsaken place.

Walking down the corridor leading to the treasury, Christopher glanced west.
By the Avatar! No! This ones too clever!
Taking his chances anyway, Christopher walked towards the glowing red domain, passing the portal and reaching the stone bridge.

Walking across it, hoping with all his being that he wasn't about to be crushed, Christopher lost his balance. The bridge had been REMOVED out from infront of him.

"CHRISTOPHER! You will NOT escape my wrath. One does not simply destroy a Keeper without expecting trouble from another; ESPECIALLY WHEN THE KEEPER IS IN THE FAMILY! Prepare to die, Knight, for mercy is far too good to be wasted on the likes of you!"

In a state of wild panic at the threat on his life, Christopher began to run the other way. Damn! I'll have to use the back passage...And so, Christopher made his journey east, to the late Jarquidos' Workshop, where he would enter the snaking tunnels that would lead him towards... where, exactly? Stay tuned to find out!
______
Larquidos was too slow; Christopher had already escaped too far into Jarquidos' dungeon for him to drop any of his creatures near the Knight.
Fortunately for him, however, Kiboo's work with the dwarf, coupled with the pathetic death screams of his comrades, seemed to break the tortured dwarf completely.

:dwarf:"Oh, by the Avatar, please, please, please stop! I'll tell you everything! Everything!!!"

"The Dragons to your south; they mark only the beginnings of an Ancient Dungeon, right below you! We have a fortress behind it, with but three rooms. A big one, and two smaller ones of the sides. The dungeon that comes before it..."
The dwarf rattled on about the details of the Dungeon - the room sizes, the layout, the rooms present, the snaking pathway that lead from Jarquidos' dungeon towards it,
http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/3041/goodcrystalbarrow.png
the treasures to be found - and all the while, he was bleeding away his lifeblood from several wounds dealt by his torturers.
"The dungeon itself has countless treasures! The workshop is littered with traps and arnaments of all kinds. Sharp swords, glorious shields - everything. Pots of gold and mounds of jewels litter the place in nigh every room. But thats not all... the keepers old minions remain. Almost every last one of them. They're all there; the goblins, the trolls, the black knights... and the insects. So many insects. There must be hundreds of them! But none of them ever attacked us. They're all just so... passive. They sit there, wailing for their old master. And we heroes... We have brothers at arms hidden within the dungeon. Stealthy, subtle rogues and others. You would be a fool to venture there! But... what have I done?"
At this, the dwarf broke into tears
"Christopher... forgive me, I have failed you... I have failed the cause".
And finally, the dwarf seemed to completely lose his will to live. And so he died. *Town bell sounds*
An imp was ready to pay respects to him, moving his corpse to the 3 by 3 room that had just been paved with tomestones and magical dirt.
____
"Your gold reserves are running low!"

Oh, blast. Bugger. Minions, cease training (... I can't afford it...). The time has come! Christopher is escaping!
Imps, hurry, work like you've never worked before! Claim my brothers dungeon like you've never claimed before! *Larquidos drops an imp at the western edge of his realms border with Jarquidos' dungeon, and casts speed monster on it.*
And the rest of you lazy imps, get to work on mining! I need more gold! Dig east and west of my lava-border room!

*Larquidos drops every last one of his minions where he'd set his imp to claim*

You heard the dwarf's descriptions! Follow Christopher, no matter the cost! We can't let this self righteous hero get away with murder!

Summary: Drell finished off his victims, sending Christopher into a panic - he now wishes to escape the realm of Crystalbarrow! He is at the Workshop Secret door, and is preparing to flee south!
The Dwarf whom was being tortured is now dead, but revealed EVERYTHING... except the state of heroic affairs in their bastion of the area. What a thing to ommit!

All creatures have been ordered to follow Christopher, and Larquidos has a single imp claiming eastward (that will go southward when the time comes).

Start posting peoples!

Notes: The Ancient Dungeon has extremely powerful creatures lurking throughout its halls; however all of them are passive. Don't be stupid and attack one...
DO NOT GOD-MODE! This is the beggining of the end, please don't ruin it with over-competence.

Lucien the Black Knight :lord:

Emerging from the portal in a violent storm with lighting strikes, Lucien setted foot on Crystalbarrow. The second he moved away from the portal, the storm dispersed. Doing a thing he had done atleast a dozen times before, moving to the Dungeon Heart to swear his loyalty. He took little time and effort to scan the area he passed, after all, what would make this Dungeon Keeper think he can do better than the previous ones Lucien served? He entered the Heart Chamber and spoke to the Keeper.

:lord: Lucien: My name is Lucien, and if you accept me into your Dungeon, I will vanquish your enemies. Except if you are at the point of being vanquished yourself…

Lucien the Black Knight is (attempting) to swear loyalty to Larquidos.

Skios and Krua suddenly found themselves being picked up, along with all other creatures, and being dropped next to a portal with the command to follow Lord Christopher. The first thing Skios noticed is the big Hero's Heroic stench, which made it all the more easier to track him, and he ran at a moderate pace to the workshop remains while Krua followed him from a distance. Then Skios remembered that there was told of a Secret Door, and after searching the room for a while, he found the door.

Just as he was about to smash through the door, Krua stopped him.

"...it might be a trap..."

"Right, let's wait for backup."

Limflu had been happily training until being plucked away from the Training Room by Larquidos himself.

"Hey Larquidos! I was trying to get a little stronger...!" Limflu told him until being dropped onto somewhere different. Then she grew an evil little smile as she began to think of what to do with Christipher...

So... chase this Lord of the Land? Hah! He better be running...! Now where am I...? Oh this must be Jarquidos' dungeon, from what the Dwarf said... Time to take care of this little scardy knight, heehee...

To his surprise, there were no traps in wait. At least, not in the path he'd taken. Limflu arrived about the same time Rob did, and Eartle shortly after.

"What... are you two... doing?" Rob asked the two Spiders.

Eartle replied instead to him, "Larquidos ordered us to go after Lord Christipher, I'm guessing that this is the Secret Door the tortured Dwarf talked about... So now we move forward..."

Larquidos, who was folling the progress of his minions (slow though it may be) when he became aware of a Black Knight right at his heart.

My name is Lucien, and if you accept me into your Dungeon, I will vanquish your enemies. Except if you are at the point of being vanquished yourself…

Greetings, Lucien. You shall be an asset. I can assure you that not only am i not on the verge of being vanquished, I am on the verge of vanquishing my foes!

Now if you don't mind... *Larquidos picks up Lucien and drops him at the now Larquidos' controlled treasury.*

Go into the Casino, take a right, then a left, then continue into the Workshop. There, you will meet some of my other creatures. Tell the idiots to break the damn door down and follow the Knight. They'll know what I mean.

And imps? Get claiming quicker!
*Larquidos takes an imp who was mining gold and places him at the top of the treasury. The other imp continues to claim east.
________________

Val'Kaz was one of the slower creatures, having been interrupted rudely as he was. He'd never taken the warnings seriously, given the terrible pace his keeper seemed to take, and so he was caught completely unaware when he was dropped next to the portal.

Val'Kaz took a while to stand up and begin to walk over the workshop (so slow was he that he was able to hear the sound of Lucien dropping behind him) however once he'd reache the Casino he'd heard a rattling sound. Turnig around and glancing right, Val'Kaz saw something he hadn't expected to see ever again.
_______________

With a rattle, Necrotyc managed to fit his head back onto the top of his spinal vertebrae. He didn't know what had happened, partly due to the lack of a functioning brain, but he had an incline thanks to instinct. He'd been charged. HE WAS A SKELETON! He wouldn't take this!

Beginning to walk south into a treasury in an effort to hunt down the Knight whom had attacked him, Necrotyc suddenly stopped. His mind was filled with a thousand instinctive actions and reactions, and a strange magical glow sorrounded him. It was blue, the colour of the keeper whom had destroyed him, and it had seemed to come from within him.

Eventually, the blue glow departed upwards, and from the figure clad in purple robes, another strange glow, this one red, whirled towards him and swam around him. It filled every crack and bone and socket that he had left inside of him, and then dissapeared (however his bones seemed to get a red tinge to them).
Then, all at once, Necrotyc was himself again. He remember his past; his exploits, everyone - it felt as if he had his very being back. He remembered the name of the figure infront of him. Val'Kaz.

With a creaky movement of his jaw, Necrotyc spoke to the warlock. "It... it is good to see a similiar face. And have my sanity back... I thought I'd lost it forever. Thank you, Val'Kaz, for being the one to save me from this curse."
______
"Oh shut up you bag of bones, don't you get soppy with me. Get over here. As a minion of Larquidos you've standing orders to follow Lord Christopher".

"A Neutral Creature has entered your dungeon."

Fine, let him stay. A Skeleton, hmm? Good, we need a suicidal beast. Let Val'Kaz fill you in, and try to put up with his arrogance.

Seeing how everyone was going into the dungeon, Ivan left the Imp's side, and followed after a Warlock.

Meanwhile

Rob turned around, wondering who replied to him. But once Rob saw who spoke, complete rage and anger filled him.

Rob snarled at Eartle.

Rob turned back to the spiders and walked to where the two spiders stood.

At that time, Ivan walked into the Workshop.

Rob raised his GreatAxe, and brought it down. The sound of impact of a Secret Door was heard. Rob raised his GreatAxe again and smashed it down into the Secret Door. Rob raised his GreatAxe once again, and destroyed the Secret Door.

"Come on, we've got to get to the others. As powerful as I am, i doubt i'd be able to survive an ambush on my own!"

Necrotyc slammed his sword hilt onto his shield twice in succession - a sort of formal, combat salute, which could also double as an intimidation factor.

Val'Kaz set off with Necrotyc in tow.

By the time Val'Kaz and Necrotyc had reached the workshop, they noticed a Black Knight disregard a large portion of caution (zing) and break down the Secret Door.

I'd have done the same thing. Slow, lazy louts. Hurry up and follow Christopher, we can't afford to be slow about it.

Lucien received a reply from Keeper Larquidos.

Keeper Larquidos: Greetings, Lucien. You shall be an asset. I can assure you that not only am i not on the verge of being vanquished, I am on the verge of vanquishing my foes! Now if you don't mind..

With those words, Lucien was picked up by Larquidos and dropped in the late Keeper Jarquidos treasury. Using Larquidos directions, he slowly (that armour has to weight something!) marched to the workshop. As he entered the workshop he saw many creatures, among them a Black Knight who smacked down a secret door and entered a tunnel, to be followed by serveral other creatures, including a rogue and 2 spiders.

:lord: Lucien: …

Ignoring the other creatures in the workshop who seemingly hestiated to follow the other creatures, he quickly entered the tunnel, bypassing a Spider who looked to keep her distance to another spider.

Ivan heard a scream, and merely chuckled to himself. Just when he was about to say something, a loud roar came from the tunnel.

"Holy shi-... What was that?"

Ivan stayed close behind Val'Kaz, and Necrotyc.

Dranton (Beetle) & Xerina (Dark Elf)

Xerina heard Larquidos' words and remained in the Guard Room, waiting for others to come. In the meantime, she continued working on the bandages. After some time, she was picked up by Larquidos and dropped near the edge of a Portal to the west. While other creatures went after the escaping Lord Cristopher, Xerina satyed behind to pack the materials she was working with into her backpack.

When Graveyard research was complete, Dranton put the book away and obediantly left for the Guard Room. After a while, he got picked up and dropped near the Portal edge with a lot of other creatures. He immediatelly went after the chasing lord, but as he passed through the Hatchery, his stomach growled and he styed behind to eat few chickens, so he'll have enough strength for the chase and the battle.

When Xerina finished packing her stuff, she pulled out her crossbow and went after the others. When she saw Dranton eating while others were chasing Lord Cristopher, she just shook her head and continued toward the others. Soon afterward, Dranton finished his meal and rejoined the chase.

-Xerina was packing her stuff and Dranton stopped to eat, so they lagged behind others. Now Xerina's trying to catch up with others, with Dranton behind her.

(OOC: this is being dragged out way too long. Maybe this will increase activity.)

Skios, getting impatient of the walking in line, ran past the others to go and meet the heroes he heard.

When he went past one of the corners a bit further ahead, he saw the heroes - he saw there were four of them. He knew he couldn't take on all four of them by himself, and hid behind the corner, dodging an arrow shot by the archer. He stayed there, waiting for the others.

<<Pssh, they look weak... but I don't think I can take all of them on myself.>>

"HEY GUYS, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THOSE HEROES ARE RIGHT HERE!"

This also led Krua to be more motivated to move forward, and she's now moving along with Rob and Ivan.

Summary: Skios went forward, far enough to be spotted by the hero party. He's now hiding behind a corner, waiting for the others. Krua is moving on at a faster pace.

Rob

The almost endless corridor suddenly shortened to a few steps when a Spider zoomed past Rob, and hid behind the corner.

"HEY GUYS, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THOSE HEROES ARE RIGHT HERE!"

Rob emits groans, and growls, as he rushes to the corner.

:thief:A Vision

As Fredrick the thief was about to attack the Spider who quickly hid behind the corner, a creepy looking Black Knight jumps from behind the corner, causing him to jump back into the rest of the ground.

Rob Vision

Rob swings his axe at ThiefA, and narrowly misses him.

"...Die."

Rob swings his axe again, hitting the poor ThiefA in the chest, making blood splatter all over the wall next to him.

Thief HP: 50%

Rob sees a arrow fly towards his chest. The arrow slams into his chest...



But Rob's very hard armour makes it dink, bend, and fall to the ground.

"...Annoying."

Rob grabs ThiefA, and throws him towards the group.

"Fresh... Meat."

Rob turns back to the small group of Heroes.

============================================
Ivan

Ivan continued to crawl on the ceiling, and he FINALLY saw some action starting to happen. Ivan looks as a Thief is thrown back towards the group of incoming Creatures.

"Heh... Poor guy. Serves him right."

Ivan looks around the corner to see Rob glare at the three Heroes, a Thief, a Archer, and a... FAIRY!

Ivan twitches, but he shakes himself, and starts making a web net.

Skios watched as reinforcements came in, and while Rob was dealing with Thief A, he went after the archer. He jumped up to her, latched on to her left arm and started biting her there. The archer tried to shake him off, but it took a couple of seconds before Skios lost his grip and was sent flying away several feet. The archer took the opportunity and quickly fired a missile at Skios, hitting him directly.

This angered Skios more than it hurt him, though. In fact, he grew even stronger during the process.

"You're going to die, "hero", and you know it..."

Skios then quickly ran forward to jump onto the archer again, and landed on her right shoulder. He then started biting her there, again.

---

Meanwhile, Krua arrived at the battle scene. She cast out a freeze spell, which hit Thief A, just as he was thrown around by Rob. She then backed off, to charge up another freeze spell.

Vergil ran up behind Ivan and saw him shake. He looked at the spider questionably.

"Ivan? Somthing wrong?" he asked and peeked around the corner. He saw the fairy and understood.

"Ah, I understand Ivan. I doubt I will be able to kill one, maybe injure her, but not kill. Seeing other heroes just makes me angry. Seeing a fairy though, well makes me calm down a bit. I dont know why, I guess im not done with my head aches. He said the last part and chuckled to himself. He then drew his sword and waited behind the corner along with a bag of poisen in his free hand.

Val'Kaz and Necrotyc heard roars, groans, screams and metallic sounds.

Moving through the corridor and rounding two corners, they found themselves sighting heroes, but out of range of them - or at least for a melee creature.

Val'Kaz, however, wasn't a melee creature, and he raised his hands above his head, and, being careful not to hit any allied minions, began to chant his fireball with invocations of 'Brizot'. It served more as supressive fire than anything else, however he did manage to land two fireballs on the Immobile Thief A and a single ball on Thief B, damaging them for 4% HP a piece.

OOC: To be entirely honest, I think the corridor nonsense is detracting from posts. People aren't posting just because they aren't in range, and so, I urge you, to pretty much ignore corridor order/ pretend the corridor is sufficiently wide to do what you wish to do.

Ivan

Ivan turns and looks at Vergil.

"Yeah... I'll bring her over here, and you knock her out."

Ivan crawls onto the wall, then onto the ceiling with his completed web Net.

Ivan peeks over the wall, and spots the Fairy. Ivan readies his Web Net, comes from around the corner, and flings it at the Fairy.
The Web Net hits the Fairy, and wraps around her and her wings. The sudden stop of her wings made her fall to the ground with a THUD!

Fairy: 99%

Ivan hastily pulls the Fairy to himself, hitting Rob with the Fairy by accident, and goes behind the corner with the captured Fairy.

"Okay, knock her out Vergil."

======================================
Rob

Rob prepared himself to swing his Axe, until the Fairy 'tackled' him. Rob stumbled back, and swung his axe downward at the Fairy, but instead found his axe ripping through the flesh of the second Thief.

Thief B: 48%

Rob lifts his Axe to finish off the Thief, until the Archer shot a arrow right into Rob's unprotected left infected eye. Rob stumbles back even more, as a Thief does a cheap shot and stabs his infected eye too. Rob let loose a roar of pain, and anger.

Rob: 80%

Rob kicks the second Thief into the Archer, causing both to stumble back, and narrowly missing Skios.

Vergil nodded at Ivan and drew his sword. Of all his memories he had, fairies were mostly gone. He knew this most likly had somthign to do with Methras, she started the remembering, and he guessed it would end with her as well. Nut he did know Fairys are VERY fragile heroes. He pulled his sword pommle above his head and looked down at the scared fairy. He slammed it down on her skull hard, it didnt knock her out though there was a small trickly of blood running down her head from the hit.

19 Damage to fairy.


The fairy yelped in pain and glared at Vergil. She reached her hand through the net, she had tore parts of it away struggling, and quickly slashed her fingernails accross Vergils arm. He growled down at her and pulled the sword over head again and slammed it down twice more, these times smashign them both squere in the center of her head.

38 damage done to fairy. The fairy looked fairly dazed but glared at Vergil through the haze of her mind.

:fairy: :Vile Rogue! You will burn in hell for this im sure!

Vergil sighed down at the fairy. Why wouldnt she just fall already!? He didnt get much tiem to think as She tore through the net and jumped at Vergil attempting to tackle him.

DAMN YOU! He growed at the fairy as she slashed at his face with her nails, not really doing any major damage. His makeshift eye-patch fell off as he pushed her off and then gave her a good solid kick with the side of his metal leg. Knocking her out once and for all.

23 damage done to fairy

Vergil looked at the fairy and then at Ivan the empty socket of his right eye probably seeming disturbing to Ivan before he picked back up the cloth and wrapped it around his head.

There. The deed is done. He mumbled.

Rob was proving himself valuable time and time again, it seemed, as his axe cleaved and his armour took a beating.

Necrotyc , on the other hand, was tired of waiting, and so he pushed his way to the front of the skirmish.

He found himself faced off with a shivering and bloody thief (A), who, catching his souless eyes, charged at him.
Necrotyc easily brought his shield up in time, and the thief's dagger made a solid thud on his shield and did what must have been the equivilant of winding the skeleton (-7%) Guess I'm not used to being this light!
Swinging his sword down at the thief, Necrotyc regained his composure, however his sword sailed harlmessly to the left of his foe.

Deciding to take a different approach, Necrotyc disengaged and moved his shield to his left, so it was parallel with the side of his body. He then let out a maniacal scream and charged at the thief. An instant before reaching him, he readjusted his shield into a regular position, and, as he had planned, it slammed directly into the face of the thief (-8%), who had gone for Necrotyc's legs, and apparently thought Necrotyc was an idiot, as most skeletons were.

Necrotyc took advantage of the situation, and, with a terrible glint in his eye (socket), he make a cutting motion, severing the thief's left hand (-10%).

Unfortunately, it appeared that the second thief and the archer had regained their footing by that point, having been knocked back by Rob. The thief stood around for a while, whilst the archer quickly loosed two volleys at Necrotyc, who, having been unprepared for them, seemed to hit him exceptionally hard, (-17%), which caused him to stumble back behind Rob.

Necrotyc joined battle with Thief A, blocked a blow, missed a blow, shield smacked and cut off the hand of Thief A. He then took two volleys from the archer.

((Yep, the Fairy is knocked out.))

Ivan, Vergil, and Rob

Ivan looks at Vergil.

"Alright, good job Vergil... When were you missing a eye again?"

=====================

Rob slashes at the second Thief, who dodges Rob's attacks. Rob slashes again, and the Thief dodged again.

=====================

Vergil looks at Ivan.

"I lost it to that mistress I pushed into the lava. I recall you telling me your past, Did I ever tell you why I quit the heroes?"

Ivan looked around.

"Uh, sure. But lets hurry so the others won't get mad at us..."

==================

Rob punches the second Thief and swings his axe again, but misses again.

"STAY STILL, KILL YOU!"

==================

Vergil nodded and looked at Ivan.

"When I was a Thief, I was... well... not as fast as most Thiefs. People mocked me for it. Mason did, and all of the other heroes.

So I figured I could get some payback by stealing some stuff. I shouldn't have though,I really shouldn't have. Turns out they were more pissed off than I thought.

They shot me in the back of the leg with a fireball from one of the wizards. It fried my leg and they left me to rot. For the next 2 years I was tortured and threw into prison, back and forth back and forth.

Until I escaped, after that, I decided to become a rogue. I recall there was one hero who never mocked me, But I cant remember who." He said quickly.

"Huh. I think I know who that one Hero is."

===================

Rob roars in frustration as he misses the Thief for the 5TH, time. Rob grabs onto the Thief's arm, and cuts it off.

Thief: AAUUGHHHHHHHH!

Rob then slices the Thief's head off, as it rolls to the Archer.

====================

Vergil looked at Ivan. He didn't understand what he meant at first, and then it hit him.
Methras.
She was the hero that had been one of the few he got along with, and with this all the memories of her and other fairies flew back into his mind, not as a head ache but as a simple remembering. He smiled slightly under the cowl that covered most of his face.

"Yea, I remember now. Methras."

Ivan looks at Vergil.

"Yeah, that makes-"

Rob looks around the corner, his axe, hands, and part of his helmet covered in blood.

"Fight Heroes. Talk not, or end comes to thee... by me."

Ivan starts to sneak behind Thief A as he fights Necrotyc.

Rob goes back around the corner, and faces off the Archer.

"Spider, your kill."

Necrotyc and Thief A continued to exchange various blows, however due to dodges, blocks, and parries, nobody seemed to be getting injured. It was rather fortunate, then, when he noticed Ivan sneaking behind his foe, and, as he caught the Spider's eyes, his eyes gave a faint glow, rather like a wink.

Val'Kaz raised his hands once more, above his head, and casted his fire magic several more times. He missed every last blow.

(OOC: I noticed you both using the archer to hit you, even though Skios was keeping him/her busy. Seems kind of odd to me.)

While Skios was fighting the archer, a thief got bumped into the archer, causing both to stumble. Skios used the opportunity to pull down the archer with his weight, violently smashing the archer into the ground.

With the archer now helpless on the floor, Skios proceeded to rip the archer's flesh off in a painful way. The archer intensely screamed, though it did not deter Skios from just going on as if he wasn't hearing anything.

Krua, watching Necrotyc and Thief A fighting with neither gaining the upper hand, felt like making the battle a bit more one-sided by freezing the thief. This Freeze cast made her level up and reach level 3.

Summary: Skios is kicking the archer's ass. Krua froze Thief A.

The archer was still screaming because of Skios' violently murdering her, which started to tick him off.

"Shut up already! And die while you're at it, too!"

Skios then ripped her guts out, and the archer stopped screaming and died.

"Good..."

Skios then looked at what was remaining of the battle. He saw Necrotyc fighting a frozen Thief A, and an unconscious Fairy almost fully webbed and stuck to the ceiling.

"That looks like it'd burn nicely."

Skios climbed up the wall and grabbed a lit torch. Then he moved to the Fairy on the ceiling.

"Heheheh. BURN, fairy, BURN."

Skios then set the webbed Fairy on fire. He threw away the torch, and dropped off the ceiling. He looked up and watched the fairy go die a fiery death really soon.

"Ha ha ha ha ha. Keep on burning, girl, while I move on."

Skios then followed Rob, deeper into the hallway. Krua moved alongside him.

<<Looks like they won't be needing me in the battle anymore...>>

Necotyc and the Thief were still exchanging flurries when suddenly the Thief froze right infront of him. Necrotyc felt as if it would stain his honour, and destroy what little was left of his soul, to slay the immobilized Thief, and so he called out thusly. "Hey, Val'Kaz, would you care to do the honours?" Val'Kaz gave a depraved smirk of approval, and edged his way to be directly infront of the thief.

"Please, by all means, haunt me for this, pathetic human. Your ghost will be a welcome, however weak, servant when I ascend." As he spoke, Val'Kaz lowered his hands to chest level, putting one leg infront of him, bent at the knee, and the other leg outstretched behind him. He then adjusted his arms once more to be behind his right thigh at an angle that felt just right.

With a quick, flowing movement, Val'Kaz pushed his arms forward, invoking his fire spell, Brizot, as he did so. The gust of flame that exited Val'Kaz's palms was so all consuming, not only did it melt the ice that contained the thief, it caused it to rise as steam, charr the flesh of the thief and, when the flame had passed, a pitiful pile of ashes to land at his feet.

"Thanks for that, Necrotyc. There are never too many stress reliefs."
Necrotyc inclined his head ever so slightly, before starting to move off down the hallway. Val'Kaz followed in suit.

Summary: Necrotyc allowed Val'Kaz to slay the thief via means of combustion. They are now both heading through the corridors.

Ivan stared in horror with all eight eyes as Skios set the Fairy ablaze. Ivan couldn't release the Fairy from her webby prison while everyone was watching. Ivan had no choice, but to wait as most of his comrades went ahead.

Ivan looked to see that most of them left. Ivan crawls up to the ceiling, wincing in pain from the heat of the flames, and swiftly slashes a leg through the webbing. Ivan then quickly reached in, and pulled the Fairy out of her flaming web. Mere seconds later, the entire webbing cocoon turned to dust. The Fairy's back was badly burnt, her wings forever gone from the engulfing flames. However, the rest of her body is... somehow not burnt and remained normal. However, without her wings, and with her weak body, the Fairy is no longer a threat. However, just to be safe, Ivan quickly webs her hands, feet, legs, and places her on the ground.

"*Hiss* That one Spider... I don't like him very much..."

Ivan then starts following behind the Group.

The fight was already over when Xerina finally reached the battle site, with Dranton crawling behind her. They missed the others and only saw what they left behind - 3 corpses and a badly wounded, unconscious, tied fairy.

"They hath been here.", Xerina said to Dranton, "We could hath helped them if thou hath not overeaten, you gluttonous pig!".

"Hey, it'd be a real shame to let all those chicken go to waste in that dungeon when the keeper was already dead!", Dranton replied, trying to sound confident, even tho he knew he messed up big, making them lag behind others so much.

"It would hath not taken me so long to diagnose thy 'chest pain' if thou would hath been more cooperative. Thou hath screamed like a fairy on fire! I thought thy life was in danger.", Xerina said while examining the fairy, "It would hath also helped if I hath had a better understanding of beetle anatomy. I hath only learned how to treat wounded humanoids.", she finished while making sure the fairy was tied properly and couldn't get free. Afterward she got up and continued forward, "Come on. We need to catch up with others.".

"Yeah, yeah...", Dranton just mumbled and went after Xerina, leaving the battle site without paying much attention to it.

As his minions were out of his realms borders, Larquidos didn't have a particularly strong link with them. In fact, though he voiced his commands, they didn't appear to take any notice of them, and so he decided upon an alternative method.

Using the weak but ever-present psychological link that was a sign of his creatures service, Larquidos gave his orders.

Creatures, you've done well to get so far, and yet as the same time, you're dawdling. Christopher isn't going to catch and barbeque himself now, is he? Hurry up!

After having dined on his delicious meal of flesh, rags and and cleaning his teeth on the wonder known to humanoids as 'armour', Drell thought it was about time he got his other main foe, the keeper, out of the way.

Act 5, Scene II. Enter an archer and a rogue, working on a 'door' backdrop.

:thief: Shut up! We can't afford to make a noise, the beast on the other side will be ready for us!

:archer: Us? It isn't for us... it's for them. They that would harm the righteous lord!

:thief: Yes yes yes, but if we make a damned racket it might just break the door down and and eat US anyway. Dragons aren't stupid, you know. They're just more bestial than we are... more instinctual.

:archer: Very well, lets just get this stupid door open and then we can enjoy a nice roast chicken before we get to watch the dragon fight.

:thief: Sounds like a plan. Only, what the HELL is that thing doing, making all that noise?

:archer: Oh, it's probably a princess dragon, and the noble prince dragon is off fighting for her
honour and for the safety of her soon-to-be children.

:thief: Hah, that'd be the day. A pregnant dragon... sounds a joke to me.

Finally, the two heroes recieved the click they'd been waiting for after tweaking with some levers, followed by the elevation of a small plate at their feet.

:archer: Lovely. Now all it'll take is a single foot on this plate, and BAM, the door is open, and we've got one less dragon problem and one less keeper problem.

:thief: Damn, we're brilliant.

"Uhhh... my head feels painy bad..."

Zenghar woke up, lying on the dungeon floor inside the hatchery.

"Huh? What? What's going on I mean I'm confused! I was talking to that strange red demon spawn, Girth he was called I think? Probably I mean yeah that must be it anyway then I just sort of... fell asleep... I wonder how long I've been sleeping for I mean gee it sure feels like I've been catching z's for a fair bit of time..."

Zenek stretched his arms, cracked his bones a bit and then stood up

"Hey, keepah, what's up, heheh get it, what's up cause you're like a floating hand and stuff... ok sorry that was bad, but really, what's up, it feels like I've been away for a fair bit of time so I might need to do some catching up! Especially when it comes to paydays and chickens... *grumble*"

Rob

Rob cuts around the corner after corner while running. Since he is undead he won't have to stop and take a breather. Cracks are heard in Rob's legs, as if they never done anything like this before as each of his stomps made a footprint into the ground. Rob's eye still glows from within his helmet with the look of amusement and blood lust. Rob rasps out a breath, and growls afterwards as he hears grunts and hisses. Rob had no clue what they are, but wondered if they're killable, but he dismisses the thought and keeps running.

Anger built up in Rob as he continued to run down the corridor of dirt before he almost lost it as he roars the following words.

"CHRRRIIIISSSSTTTOOOOPPHEEEEEER!" Rob roars in anger as his eye emits a real bright red glow from underneath his helmet, actually lighting a small part of the corridor.

Thankfully, Rob manages to subdue his rage, for now, but the red glow refused to go away. Rob is getting twitchy.

Lucien the Black Knight :lord:

Lucien just stood by when a fight again some minor Heroes broke out, although he wanted to join the battle he choosed not to; preferring to observe the skill his allies had, they did not dissapoint him. The fight was quickly over and most of the party moved on further the corridor.

Wanting to keep a low profile for now, Lucien followed the party on a small distance.

"Aha! So that's what happened... good to know! Well then, seeing as most of the creatures sort of left to give chase after that Chris guy or whatever somebody has to guard the dungeon just in case somebody attacks it I mean it is not safe to leave it like all alone and stuff you know... but first, some chickens, I love me some good fried chicken! "

And having said that, Zenghar has grabbed the biggest chicken in the hatchery, and spit some flaming substance over it. The feathers quickly set on fire, and after the bird stopped struggling in Zenek's claw, he devoured it whole. After consuming a few more chickens, Zenghar went off for patrol. His first stop was the training room - there he re-aligned his aim for his spit ability, but quickly left, as aside from the training mannequins, there was nobody in there. The next point of interest was the treasury, which seemed fine as well. Zenghar then went into the Dungeon Heart chamber, but aside from some lazy imp having a fag break, there was nothing out of the usual order. The lair, on the other hand, was creepily empty, which disturbed Zenek a little bit

"Good thing I had enough sleepy time for a few weeks now"

he hissed through his grin, and carried on onto the next room...

"Oh my! FULL ALERT, FULL ALERT, WE'VE GOT ENE... oh wait a minute this is the prison isn't it whew I don't think I've ever been there, perhaps it's a good thing but I wouldn't mind paying a visit once in a while just as a visitor I mean not an inmate"

The demonspawn took a quick look around the cell - there were a few good creatures imprisoned in there.

"Hey guys, what's up I mean obviously the dungeon ceiling cause chances are you'll rot to your death here and never see the sky again the sky that's what's it called isn't it the like big blue ceiling you have in that overworld place anyway where are my manners speaking about death and eternal damnation before introducing myself, my name is Zenghar, although you can call me Zenek if you wish. So, how are things with you?"

Zenghar smiled, and started jumping around outside the prison cell

Skios was walking behind Rob, who loudly shouted out Christopher's name. Following that, he heard a voice in the distance, although it was too quiet for him to understand.

"Hey, who's there?"

He dashed forward, past Rob, until he met a Dwarf.

"Oh, you're just another one trying to stop us. All alone, ready to die. How convenient, it's almost too easy."

Skios jumped at the Dwarf, latched onto his face and bit him in the face.

Alez the Thieving Archer :thief:

Alez, the young Archer, got up from the Prison floor and looked around. His head hurt more than anything else and he was behind bars. He understood completely where he went wrong to end up in this situation.

"Damn..." Alez murmured, "Shouldn't have been drinking last night. Must have been sniping some babies. Or maybe Old Man Toalearo's wife again... hmm..."

Alez looked about the room and realized some of his friends were also in Prison.

Alez called out to one of the Thieves, "Hey Cal! How'd I get in here again? Was I shooting arrows at Toaleraro's wife or some random babies? I remember drinking but I don't remember which one I shot."

The Thief didn't reply, and Alez had no idea why. Little did he realize that the Thief he spoke to wasn't even named Cal. But there was something more as to why he refused to reply. Alez absorbed more of the scene, he realized he was in an enemy Keeper's land. And now he really knew why he had been in prisoned, he had been captured durring the fight.

Aw... damn it... I got captured didn't I?

Upon further investigation of the situation, Alez realized that he was as skinny as bones!

Holy crap! I've lost weight!

It took Alez a moment to realize what was really going on...

...OH NOES!! I'm a Skeleton! Damn it! I died a virgin! Argh! ...well, at least now I can finally get rid of my old crappy name. Alez sucks.

Unnamed Skeleton the unnamed Skeleton :skeleton:

The unnamed Skeleton, once known as Alez the Thief-like Archer, began thinking of a new name. He crossed his arms and tapped his foot, then decided to sit down for a second and suddenly there was a crack! Fear spread throughout the Skeleton's mind as to what the noise could possibly be...

Oh god... don't tell me I broke my butt... bones...

The Skeleton got up quickly and looked at what he sat. Sadness filled his missing heart as he stared down at a bow that had been split in two.

"M-M-MY BOW!!!" The Skeleton screamed as he tried to cry out tears which would never come before falling to his knees and shouting to the skies, "...C-CURSE YOU KUNG FU ACTION JESUS!!!"

The Skeleton searched about for other items he owned when he lived in flesh and discovered his quiver completely in tact and well. Inside were many, many arrows that he once carried on a daily basis. He happily put on the quiver and began thinking of names.

Hmm... Bones. Nah, probably a lot of "Bones" out there. Skully? Boney? White Guy? Hmm... Jack Sparrow? Nah... wait a minute... my hair... MY HAIR IS ALL GONE!!! How could this happen!? ...Baldy?

Suddenly, a Demon Spawn entered the scene.

"Hey guys, what's up I mean obviously the dungeon ceiling cause chances are you'll rot to your death here and never see the sky again the sky that's what's it called isn't it the like big blue ceiling you have in that overworld place anyway where are my manners speaking about death and eternal damnation before introducing myself, my name is Zenghar, although you can call me Zenek if you wish. So, how are things with you?" Zenghar babbled.

The Skeleton wondered if this Zenghar Demon Spawn was talking to him or not. He did say Creatures... The Skeleton picked up the broken Bow and turned to Zenghar...

"All this talk about never seeing the sky again... it sounds so depressing... you're trying to rub my misery right in my face aren't you!? ...I'll kill you!!" the Skeleton shouted angrily at Zenghar.

The Skeleton charged at Zenghar with his bow and reached the actual bars of the Prison. He wanted to strangle the Demon Spawn using the string of the bow and held both halves of the bow with his hands but that provided certain complications. As the Skeletons arms passed through the bars, but they didn't go through the same spot and the string got caught on one of the bars.

The Skeleton realized this, then let go of one part of the bow in order to get the broken bow past the bars. Once he achieved this, he grabbed both parts of the bow again and reached for the Demon Spawn. He couldn't reach! It was all because of his fat ribs! He continued to try to reach the Demon Spawn, but stopped when he finally realized that Demon Spawns didn't have much of a neck... so how would this work? It was too late anyways, the Demon Spawn began jumping about around the Prison making it quite impossible to grab him.

The Skeletons retracted his arms back into the Prison and began delving back into thought again.

I think... I'm going insane... all this Skeleton business means I'll be in here forever! Unless... what if I join the Keeper's army? Yes! I could get paid, get drunk, and do nothing but sleep ALL DAY LONG!! It is perfect! ...now... I need a name first...

Hmm... couldn't get through these bars... Bars? No... it was because of these fat ass ribs! ...wait, I got it... Fat Ass! Yes! It is quite hysterical, people will laugh... then again... I dunno about these evil Creatures. I know the human Heroes will laugh but... these Creatures? Hmm... whatever... oh wait... ribs... RIBS! Mm... I could use some ribs right now. Ribs... yeah... I think that might be a good name too!

Ribs the Clueless :skeleton:

Ribs, now ready with a name and everything, began banging on the bars of the Prison with his hands in order to get the Keeper Larquidos' attention.

"Hey! Keeper!" Ribs called out, "I'm Ribs the Skeleton! I was an Archer. I guess I could fight for you if you let me out. I give you my loyalty and stuff-blah blah blah... so uh, can I get paid now?"

He began banging on the Prison Bars to get Keeper Larquidos' attention and introduced himself to him.

"Hey! Keeper!" Ribs called out, "I'm Ribs the Skeleton! I was an Archer. I guess I could fight for you if you let me out. I give you my loyalty and stuff-blah blah blah... so uh, can I get paid now?"


Larquidos didn't like what he was hearing from the Prison room, but decided to put it to good use.

"Though you do me a great disservice with your disrespect, Ribs I will allow you to stay within my dungeon, providing you carry your own weight..." Larquidos then picked Ribs up and dropped him in the recently claimed workshop formerly-belonging-to-Jarquidos


"There. To the south you will find a snaking pathway. Follow it, and you should soon meet up with my minions, who are trudging after your former lord, Christopher. You'll also find the bodies of some of your former kin before you actually see my worms. Oh, and by the way. Tell the fools to HURRY THE HELL UP. Of course, perform well in this endeavour, and you shall have your pay."

Larquidos dealt with Ribs.

Ribs the Clueless :skeleton:

"Though you do me a great disservice with your disrespect, Ribs I will allow you to stay within my dungeon, providing you carry your own weight..." Keeper Larquidos explained to Ribs. Ribs replied, "Really? I weigh practically nothing now compared to my old body. I guess that's your way of saying I can sleep around all day and eat fudge... mmm... fu-DGE HOLY CR-"

Suddenly Ribs was plucked from the Prison and dropped in a Workshop. Ribs, at first, thought he was in Larquidos' main dungeon. The walls were so dirty and unfortified. This made Ribs think Larquidos was a lazy, irresponsible, and quite weak Keeper. This made Ribs regret joining up with him in the first place. Now he only needed to ask if Larquidos drank as much as he.

Larquidos continued speaking to Ribs, "There. To the south you will find a snaking pathway. Follow it, and you should soon meet up with my minions, who are trudging after your former lord, Christopher. You'll also find the bodies of some of your former kin before you actually see my worms. Oh, and by the way. Tell the fools to HURRY THE HELL UP. Of course, perform well in this endeavour, and you shall have your pay."

"Really? That's all until I get paid? This is gonna be a sweet ride! Hello Casino!" Ribs said mostly to himself.

Ribs then looked around the room a bit in confusion.

Hmm... which way is south...?

Ribs looked at both possible directions going either left or right from his eyes, and he finally decided on the right path. He hurried in and ended up in Training Room. Now he was met with three possible paths, but before traveling any further, Ribs realized something. Ribs connected the two halves of his bow and gripped it rightly over the cracked area, making it look like it could be used and Ribs actually appeared as a threat... almost...

With that taken care of, Ribs made another right and entered a four-way interception. He looked in all four directions and spotted a Guard Room and Treasury behind it. There was a wall with a turning point, could that be the beginning of the snake-like passage? Ribs rushed forward to see it, then he turned to the right and witnessed a mighty powerful Dragon!

"DRAGON!? HOLY CRAP!!" Ribs screamed.

Ribs took no second thought and ran for it. He ran past the Treasuy, past the Guard Room, passed an Imp claiming a Hatchery, entered a Casino and was so frightened he didn't even stop to drink. He charged into the next room over, a Treasury, then tripped on a bag of gold while trying to jump over it and flopped down a Portal.

RIBS HAS LEFT YOUR DUNGEON, KEEPER!

Shortly after that incident, Ribs climbed up the Portal without that much injury from the fall aside from his head being backwords.

RIBS HAS RE-ENTERED YOUR DUNGEON, KEEPER!

Somehow, he did no further damage to his bow. Ribs fixed his head then turned around and saw a bridge going across the lava. Larquidos said nothing about a bridge, perhaps Ribs went in the wrong direction this whole time. And so Ribs decided to go back to the start.

It took him a little bit, mostly because he confused himself with Jarquidos' other Workshop, but Ribs finally made it back to the Workshop where Larquidos inicially dropped him. This time, Ribs headed LEFT and began running down the long snake-like passage. Eventually reaching several other Creatures, which Ribs knew must have been Larquidos' other minions.

Ribs began speaking to Larquidos' minions, "Hey, you guys must be Larquidos' other Creatures. He said "Hurry the hell up you lazy no good morons" and also called you worms so yea-"

Ribs suddenly stopped when he noticed Necrotyc, the Skeleon. Out of some kind of strong strange urge, Ribs wanted to talk to him.

"Hey! You're a Skeleton too! Who were you before you died? I was an Archer, did you work for Christopher too? I was sent here to fight I think but my bow broke and I don't know how to weild a sword so I think Larquidos is an idiot," Ribs said to Necrotyc at a fast pace then noticed Val'Kaz, "Oh... you're a Warlock... A Wizard once told me that all Warlocks are mentally retarded. Is that true? ...CAN-YOU-UN-DER-STAND-ME?"

He told them to hurry up and talked to Necrotyc and Val'kaz. He asked Val'kaz if he was retarded.

When a new creature came from behind them - a Skeleton, this time - Necrotyc and Val'Kaz heard his message and both disregarded it, for they both thought progress was abysmal, too. When the skeleton approached them after having given his message, however, things were quite different.

Initially, the Skeleton adressed Necrotyc, asking what he had been in his former life, however, before Necrotyc had the chance to answer, the skeleton continued talking; this time to Val'Kaz.

Necrotyc knew he would never get the chance to respond, because he was utterly certain that Val'Kaz was about to blow a fuse. Or 10. Or all of them.
___

Val'Kaz' eye began to twitch.
Ribs put emphisis on every word, as if he was utterly convinced that the wizard had told the truth. Ribs was about to pay for his ignorance.

"CAN" - and his mouth followed his eye
"YOU" - and his blood started to boil
"UN" - his thoughts were overcome with rage
"DER" - unspeakable acts of terror came naturally to him
"STAND" - he began to chant in a low voice, the language unknown to all but a select few
"ME" - his chanting became faster, and he began to froth out the mouth, like a dog with rabies. His mind knew nothing but the red mist, and he scarcely had any control of his actions.

Without knowing it, Val'Kaz was nearing the end of a chant which, now that he thought about it, should bring about the complete and utter domination of Ribs' mind. He completed the ritual with the all important words, "ash nazg gimbatul" and a swirling darkness erupted from his hands, right on queue. The darkness was insignificant at first, but as it trickled out of his hands and began to circle ribs at an ever-increasing rate, Val'Kaz became sure that he was about to have a brand-new mind slave - especially when it became all-encompasing, and he wasn't even able to see the skeleton through the black mist.

This better work, lest I take out my anger in some other manner...

Necrotyc was going to reply to Ribs, but instead Val'Kaz wound up casting a spell of mind-control on him. Funny how things turn out, eh?

Ribs the Clueless :skeleton:

Ribs spoke to Val'kaz, obviously infuriating him yet obviously, the obvious was far beyond obvious to the obviously clueless Ribs, as obvious as it sounded. Val'kaz had casted a spell on Ribs in an attempt to control his mind, but little did he realize Ribs had dealt with this kind of magic before. Although he handled such spells fairly well, it was nothing he was fully aware of. And now, we take a close up inside Ribs' teeny tiny brain.

INSIDE RIBS' HEAD

Val'kaz and Ribs stood on a stage. An audience of thousands of Necrotyc clones sat and watched with anticipating eyes and silent mouths. Val'kaz began speaking his ancient chants, and the words "Join us" began being whispered creepily amongst the audiance, reminding one of a Scavanger Room. Ribs stared at Val'kaz blankly.

Val'kaz stopped his chanting, the Necrotyc audience grew silent once more. Ribs also said nothing but merely stared at Val'kaz. Val'kaz appeared as if he wondered whether he had gained control of Ribs or not, or whether he merely broke his brain. But then, Ribs gained full control of his body and picked up a Punkin Pie that appeared litterally out of nowhere and hurled it at Val'kaz, hitting him directly in the face.

The pie became alive and then began eating Val'kaz's head, then his body, and his arms and legs until nothing was left. Moments later, the Necrotyc army grew angry, and charged out from their seats with such rage. They tackled Ribs and began ripping his bone pieces apart, mostly around where his stomach would be and legs. Ribs was immune to Val'kaz's spell for some oddball reason, for little did Val'kaz realize that Ribs was secretly...

http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu284/DarkFire4114/CaptainObvious.jpg

But truthfully, it had something to do with that Punkin Pie Ribs ate when a mortal Archer.

OUTSIDE OF RIBS' BRAIN

Ribs fell to his knees, grabbing his... ribs, obviously in pain.

Oh god... stupid pie... I vomitted all that out... Oww... my... stomach... I think I got diarrhea...

Ribs looked up at Val'kaz with such spite in his eye sockets, "Way to go you stupid Warlock. Whenever someone tries to cast some kind of spell like that on me, I remember that stupid Pie I ate in that Wizard's room and I get a stomach ache... urk... I hate you..."

How in the hell can a Skeleton get a stomach ache?

Val'Kaz stood, dumbfounded, as his spell failed to not only subdue to skeleton, but to cause him immense pain as well.
When the insolent skeleton before him began to complain of a stomach ache, Val'Kaz was so dumbfounded that he actually began to laugh - through humour, and not through malice.
So dry and underused were his laughing glands (totally exist) that initially all that came out was a croak, but as the glands soaked up humour microbes (totally exist) the laugh became hearty.

"You're a strange one, skeleton" he said affectionately (or about as close as he could get to affection, being Val'Kaz), "But if you ever insult my kind ever again, I'm going to have to kill you - but I'll do a better job of it than whoever tried the first time."

With these words, Val'Kaz turned his back on ribs, his robes billowing in an updraft as he did so, giving him the complete image of a stereotypical warlock villain. Necrotyc followed him, close behind.

"Time to hunt Christopher, then?" posed Necrotyc as the pair nudged past several allied creatures and continued down the hallway briefly before noticing a dwarf with an extremely strange growth on its face. Necrotyc was the first to notice that the growth was, in fact, an allied spider - Skios, and he was probably choking the dwarf rather effectively.

With a nod from Val'Kaz, Necrotyc unsheathed his sword from his lowest left rib and moved behind the dwarf. With a cast of "brizot" from Val'Kaz and a flash of fire later, the dwarf found himself stumbling backwards into the waiting embrace of Necrotyc - or more appropriately, his sword.
The momentum of Val'Kaz's blast caused the dwarf to trip over Necrotyc's blade, hamstringing himself in the process. Val'Kaz promptly lowered his hands, and Necrotyc re-sheathed his blade through his rib, and the pair set off down the hallway once more.

Val'Kaz laughed (NO WAI?) and talked with Ribs, and then he and Necrotyc found Skios and the dwarf and pwnt it. The two now continue further down the hallway, presumedly at the front of the pack.

Combat: Level 3 Dwarf - 45% (down from unknown). Dwarf is hamstringed, on the ground, and Skios is still latched onto his face.

Ribs the Clueless :skeleton:

Ribs became confused. First the Warlock looked overly pissed off like his face might explode or something and he even went to so far as to try and cast a spell to control Ribs' brain. Then he began laughing and called Ribs "strange" with a somewhat affectionate tone. But then said he'd kill him and left him there and Ribs' stomach ache went away.

All of those sudden changes of mood truly confused Ribs, and yet he hadn't even answered Ribs' question. A new idea came to Ribs. Perhaps he had misheard the Wizard who told him that, maybe Ribs should ask Val'kaz if he was bipolar instead. Too bad Ribs was too stupid to know such a word.

Ribs got up from his knees and decided to follow Val'kaz and the Skeleton whose name is too hard for both Ribs and his creator to remember. Ribs marched onward, passing by a Dwarf getting mauled by two Spiders, one of them wearing a hat.

Hey, a hat...

Ribs, without thinking, (same results would come by anyways) took Ivan's hat and put it on himself.

"Hey this is a nice hat you got, Spider friend," Ribs said to Ivan, "I'm new here. I was an Archer from one of the Heroes."

The Dwarf's eyes widened upon hearing that Ribs was a Hero, then began struggling even more against Ivan and Skios but alas, no breakthough could be made with his lack of strength. He tried to scream to Ribs, "Help me! HELP ME FOR THE AVATAR'S SAKE HELP ME!!", but no words were heard aside from mumbles due to Skios being stuck to his face.

"There's something I've wanted to ask you, Spider. Can you talk?" Ribs asked Ivan, apparently unaware of the Dwarf even being there.

The Dwarf cried out to Ribs, "Listen to me you forsaken Skeleton Hero, since you're on "their side", you have to warn our great Lord!", but Ribs still paid no attention. The Dwarf began to question if Ribs was a complete idiot as a Hero or if he became that way as a Skeleton. Truth be told, it was a little bit of both.

Instead, Ribs continued talking to Ivan, "I never knew if Spiders talked or not with those mouths. Do Flies talk? What about Beetles?"

Suddenly, Ribs became aware of the Dwarf's presence, "Hey, I think I know you!"

"Go... warn... Lord..." the Dwarf tried to tell Ribs but his voice was still a set mumbles, and he appeared to be approaching his last breath.

"Yeah, you were on guard duty on the front entrance, huh?" Ribs asked the Dwarf but recieved no response, "...oh fine if you want to be that way."

Ribs took out one of his arrows and stabbed the Dwarf somewhare in the head with its metal point, thus ending the Dwarf's life... if he wasn't already dead by the time Ribs began speaking to him. With that out of the way, Ribs turned back to Ivan.

Ribs continued his talk to Ivan, "...so yeah, Spider guy. This is a really cool hat. Can I keep it? Where did you get it anyways? ...wait a minute... you are a Spider guy, right?"

Summery: Ribs wondered if Val'kaz was bipolar and then continued onto and saw Ivan, Skios, and the Dwarf they were killing. He put on Ivan's hat and began talking to him as the Dwarf tried to scream to him. He told Ivan that his hat was nice and said he was new here and a Hero Archer previously. He asked Ivan if he could talk as he never knew, and asked about Flies and Beetles being able to talk.

He then became aware of the Dwarf and said he knew him and asked if he was guard at the front entrance but upon recieving no response, got fed up. He stabbed the Dwarf with an arrow, killing him if he wasn't dead already. He then continued talking to Ivan, saying his hat was cool and asked if he could keep it. He then asked where Ivan got it and if he was a guy or not.

Ivan

Ivan continued to bite and tear at the Dwarf's arm, until a very talkative skeleton came up and took Ivan's hat. Ivan stopped bitting the Dwarf's arm, and just remained on his arm as the skeleton continued to blabber on. Once the skeleton killed the Dwarf, Ivan drops onto the ground, and turns his body so that Ivan can see the skeleton.

Ivan just silently listened to the Skeleton's random questions of if insects talked and of his gender.

Ivan didn't know what to do or to how to reply, maybe he wanted to hiss at the skeleton for being a mild annoyance, or to just intelligently reply to each question. But the choice of just hissing at the skeleton grew more.

The Exo-Exoskeleton leered at the Skeleton, as Ivan has decided to reply.

"...Talkative aren't you? But I'll reply to your questions... Yes, I can talk. Yes flies and beetles talk. No, you may not keep my hat." Which Ivan promptly climbed up a wall, and snatches it from Rib's head. Ivan then climbs back down onto the ground and replies to Rib's last question, "And I'll leave you to guess my gender with those annoying questions..."

Ivan raises one of his mid section legs, that was reinforced with the Exo-Exoskeleton, and stabs it into the Dwarf's dead body, right into his arm, cutting it off as a few threads were just barely hanging on. Ivan then climbs up the wall and continues onto the path while on the ceiling.

Skios, who was still busy ripping the Dwarf's flesh off, briefly watched as Ribs popped up and casually took Ivan's hat and started a conversation with him.

"Hey, you want to help out or not?"

Skios moved over from the Dwarf's face to his arm and bit him fiercely in there to inhibit his struggling. He watched the Dwarf attempt to get Ribs to warn his lord. And subsequently getting stabbed in the face with an arrow, killing him.

<<Weird guy, that skeleton...>>

Skios disregarded his thoughts and moved on forward, moving roughly under where Ivan's walking on the ceiling.

"... We're supposed to take prisoners, Ribs..." Unfortunately, due to the distance between Larquidos' closest territory and his creatures, he couldn't be heard.

Also unfortunate was the ever closer threat from Drell who, despite the follow map, is actually on the southern strone bridge leading into his dungeon.

"If my minions weren't so damn slow I might not be in this mess. Zenek! If you can stop being a vegetable the delay Drell, please do so. Otherwise, stay on your liquid diet."

Val'Kaz and Necrotyc continue forward, well ahead of the group but only marginally infront of Rob. They're beginning to hear the sound of liquid fire not far away...


Larquidos is devo, Drell is closer, and Val'Kaz and Necrotyc are moving forward (in best Julia Gillard voice, of course).

Ribs the Clueless :skeleton:

Ribs recieved some answers and had Ivan's hat removed from him.

"Aww, I liked that hat," Ribs murmured. Ivan finished, "And I'll leave you to guess my gender with those annoying questions..."

Ribs took a moment to think.

"Well..." Ribs began, "You kinda sound like my ex-girlfriend... but your voice is definately man...ish..."

Ivan had already began crawling on the ceiling and continued along. He was followed by two more Spiders, peeking Ribs' interest. But before Ribs could continue on, the voice of Larquidos barely reached his non-existent ears.

"...We're supposed to take prisoners, Ribs..." Larquidos spoke to him.

Ribs looked around to see if nobody was looking at him first. It seemed as if nobody was. Ribs then raised his right hand and gave the ceiling "the finger" before rushing after Ivan, Skios, and Krua. Once caught up, he continued to walk normally alongside them.

Ribs began speaking to Ivan, Skios, and Krua, "So are you three Spiders part of some kind of Spider gang or something? You're all teamed together like you are. How's it like being a slave of Larquidos? Say what are your names anyways? I'm Ribs."

"And who are you?" Ribs pointed at Krua, "I've never seen you before."

Skios noticed Ribs catching up and talking to him and the other spiders. He asked whether they were part of a "spider gang".

"Nope, we're not part of a gang. I barely even know that guy.", he said while pointing to Ivan.

"And", he pointed to Krua, "she's my sister."

When Ribs asked them their names, Skios replied:

"My name is Skios, and she's Krua."



Then Ribs started talking to Krua. She quietly said:

"...like he said... name's Krua... ...and I haven't seen you before either..."

Both spiders just continued walking ahead.

What Skios told Ribs caught his attention and he became very curious about something.

"She? So..." Ribs turned to Krua, "...that does bring up an interesting question..."

Thefsuth creaked upright with the face of annoyance resembling the decaying remains of a large flattened rodent*

This doesn't even try to make sense! How could I go from being perfectly occupied in one moment ta being flat on my back in my bed tha next!? If I knew who was responsible for causality round 'ere I'd be puttin' my foot so far up their behind they'd 'ave to digest my toenails BACKWARDS.

'KEEPAH! You pretend to be in charge 'ere! Where is everyone! Tell me what they're doing so I can ponder how wrong dey are doing it while I eat my breakfast.'

Thefsuth staggered into The Hatchery. and scooped up a chicken.

'Chickens always taste better when I know some sod's gonna get what's coming to 'em,'

Thefsuth peeled his breakfast with his neglected finger nail.

'Taste like productivity.'

Rob continued walking in the hallway. He started to notice there are gold veins appearing.

(Still have no clue how far they are.)

"Ahh, Thefsuth. You've awakened. Evidently my possession of your body wound up taking more out of you than we had both envisioned. I thought you'd done rather well adjusting back to your feeble self after I left you, but it was obviously a delated affect, but, nevermind that."


A loud hiss was heard coming from the west. A terribly loud, fierce, and angry hiss. A hiss which heralded doom and destruction for all those inside - in draconic. So it kind of fell on deaf ears. Nevertheless... and mentor says this with great deliberation and a pre-emptive dramatic 1980's music for your pleasure;

DRELL IS COMING.

"Indeed, Mentor? Well then..." Larquidos trailed off briefly as the severity of the situation dawned on him. He had two minions in his dungeon, one of whom was crazy, and the other of whom couldn't withstand a little itsy-bit of a keeper possession. He was, for all intends and purposes, screwed. Composing himself, Larquidos started up again "Thefsuth, I think you're about to have a rather rude awakening. Do what you can to delay Drell - make new traps, or distract him and maximise the damage the current ones can do to him. It may very well be only a matter of time before he starts ravaging up this place, and your master. And you don't want that. Your gold would be WORTHLESS."
____

Incidently, we need another tad-bit of a delay whilst this whole Drell thing is sorted out!

____

Val'Kaz and Necrotyc continued to lead the pack of creatures, though Rob was close behind and the spider 'trio' not far behind him.
The sounds of infernos popping in and out of existance not far to their left put them slightly off guard - they weren't eager to find out exactly what was causing the sound, though they were lying to themselves. They already knew there was nought but a thin wall protecting them from the heat of a lava lake.

Walking as he had been, Necrotyc found quite suddenly that there was a knife lodged between his ribs, and that it hadn't been there but a moment before. In addition, he was hearing rather un-subtle voices. Initially, he thought he must be going crazy, but they he heard the heroes bickering.

:thief: James: You blasted fool, Jack. He's a skeleton. He doesn't have a heart to pierce. By the Avatar, now you've ruined our surprise attack!

Val'Kaz, using the voices as a guide, raised his arms in the general direction of the sound and, with a cast of brizot, launched a fireball at the invisible figure, which then gave a loud 'oof' and landed on the ground, his invisibility magic wearing off.

:thief: Mike: God damnit, James, you're not supposed to become visible! Now we've got the fight!

Necrotyc unsheathed his sword from his lower rib and took several steps backward, beckoning for Val'Kaz to do the same.
"Meet up with the others", Necrotyc suggested. Val'Kaz gave a nod, his arms poised to fire as he walked backwards towards the pack. Necrotyc did the same with his sword held in a defensive position, and his shield raised to protect his torso.

Ribs the Clueless :skeleton:

"Well, I know that much..." Ribs replied to Skios.

Ribs then began to look over at Krua again and observed certain parts of her.

"But what I mean is... where... are... they...?" Ribs continued to look at Krua in a strange fashion.

Ribs, somehow, noticed both Krua and Skios appearing to be a little odded out by his own questions. What were they thinking? Had he offended him? What if they all jump him! If so... it would be three against one and surely he'd lose... he needed friends to back him up for protection... but what friends did he have?

...ah yes! The Diarrhea Warlock and his Skeleton slave!

Ribs told the Spiders, nervously, "Uhh... well I'd better be going..."

Ribs ran ahead after Val'kaz and Necrotyc. It wasn't long until he had them in his one-eyed sight.

"Hey! Diarrhea Warlock!" Ribs called out like a fool, "I need you and your Skeleton Slave's hel-huh...?

Ribs saw a Thief on the ground, but he already began getting up. Not only that, but he could see some white figures as well, and they seemed to make out Thieves too!

"Hey uhh... I think some of them are invisible!" Ribs told Val'kaz and Necrotyc, "Two of them..."

Well, the Thief that was on the ground should be an easy target...

"Don't worry, Skeleton friend and Warlock... not-enemy..." Ribs said to Val'kaz and Necrotyc as he tightened his grip on his bow and took an arrow out from his quiver, "I'll back you up, and we'll take on these Thieves!"

This could be it... the time has come for Ribs to prove his worth. He needed to snipe a single Thief in the head, and boom... instant kill. This surely would be easy due to his knowledge of how the Thief's mind work. He could save his allies, and, more importantly, be rewarded with riches and women.

Such thoughts made Ribs excited, he knew he could not fail. If he made himself known as a Hero, surely he could sit around all day in Larquidos' dungeon, drinking. Yes, the time has come!

"Prepare yourself..." Ribs said cooly, pointing his arrow at his target.

In one swift motion, Ribs positioned his bow in front of him and pulled the arrow back. He pointed his finger from his bow hand at his target, determined for a shot inbetween his enemy's eyes.

The arrow pulled the string back, and suddenly... part of the bow slipped from Ribs' grip and flew back, only to hit Ribs in an empty eye socket. Ribs had forgotten... a crucial mistake...

"...oh... right... broken... damn it..." Ribs murmured shamefully.

Ribs looked back at Val'kaz and Necrotyc, speaking to them once again, "Uhh... do you think you guys can handle it?"

He said that there were two invisible Thieves as well. He felt he needed to prove his worth, so he tried to be a Hero and stepped forward to take out one of the Thieves, then prepared his bow and arrow.

He then remembered the hard way that his bow had been broken, and he asked Val'kaz and Necrotyc if they could handle it.

'Aye thought I TOLD YA to tell me where everybody has buggered off to so that I could politely ask you to take me to 'em! Now yer askin' me to defend tha dungeon by my lonesome!' Thefsuth bent down and snorted up the pre chewed chicken stain he spat onto the floor. 'At least do somefink mildly smart with that used nappy you call your brain and pick up some of ma fellow dungeon dwellers and return them to tha dungeon to aid ma. I might just die of loneliness otherwise!'

RROOOAAAAARRR!

'Well, I'm more likely ta die of dragon.'

Not wanting to waste time in the face of looming dragony death, Thefsuth pottered off to his workshop and started constructing a freeze trap.

Thefsuth requested Larquidos return a creature or two to the dungeon to aid him in fighting Drell. He also started construction on a freeze trap.

As soon as Skios noticed the presence of more heroes in front of him, he immediately jumped on top of the one lying on the ground and bit him in the throat. At the same time, Krua threw a Freeze ball at another of the thieves, freezing him completely.

Larquidos, whilst not amused by Thefsuth's insults, saw that the words behind them had merit. As such, he promptly built a stone bridge over the southern lava lake, arcing it to the west to reach the snaking tunnel. He then dropped an imp on the bridge, ordering it to dig, producing this result;

Rob bellows as three thiefs are heard and seen by Rob briefly. Rob sees that one thief is frozen, and the other is being attacked by a Spider. Rob wastes no time, as he rushes at the frozen thief and PUNCHES as hard as he can. The punch breaks the thief out of the ice, and his nose is broken in three ways, somehow.

Rob stomps the thief's foot, and his foot is ripped from his leg as Rob punches him again. Blood dripped from Rob's knuckles as he continued to beat on the poor thief... Until Rob's undead muscle grew, and the next punch he done to the Thief's head...

Rob smashed the thief's head inside out, blood and greymatter flew everyone onto Rob's fist and armour. Rob rips the dead thief's leg off, and snaps it in two.

Jack, the thief, pisses himself as he witnessed this monster just easily slaughtered a 'friend' of his.

Ivan

Disturbed by Rob's kill, and his level up, Ivan was just gonna sit back and watch the battle, until his Keeper spoke. Ivan listen, and nodded in his head.

Ivan creeps off the ceiling, onto the wall, then onto the Stone Bridge, waiting to be picked up with whoever else wants to come.

After Skios' freeze spell and Rob's brutal slaughter of Mike, Necrotyc and Val'Kaz felt empowered to unleash havoc of their own.

Initiating his involvement with a cast of speed on himself, Val'Kaz poised his hands and, with a few quick casts of brizot, he rendered the thief Jack temporarily blind, not to mention in severe pain.

Taking the opportunity for himself, Necrotyc charged forward and, with one slice of his blade, amputated Jack's left arm. Unfortunately, James too saw his chance too and, seeing Necrotyc's overly-commited blow, embedded his knife in the back of Necrotyc's skull, which caused him to collapse to the ground and lose conciousness, however, being a skeleton, he wasn't quite dead.

Val'Kaz, seeing this, forgot about the screaming Jack and turned his hands towards James. Firing repeated barrages at the thief, he began to get careless and, like a truly daft warlock, tripped on the hem of his own robe, landing face first. Rolling onto his back, he looked up to see the one-armed Jack smile, knife poised above him.

"Ahh, very good, Ivan. Your timing is indeed useful."

Larquidos promptly relocated Ivan to the training room adjacant to his own guard room.

Ribs the Clueless :skeleton:

After failing to kill something, Ribs watched Rob beat the crap out of and totally rape a Thief. Ribs could use someone like Rob. He was an archer, and he needed Rob's kind of protection. Not to mention, both their names began with R.

Ribs walked up to Rob and asked, "Hey can you be my big friend?"

"Minions, I understand you've thieves to fight, but get it over and done with quickly. Your presence is required back in my dungeon rather soon, or at least that of a few of you. Hurry, defeat the thieves, and walk onto my territory, so I'm able to pick you up," Larquidos suddenly said.

Ribs finished talking to Rob, "Well I guess I need to head back to the dungeon... see ya big friend."

"Drell is destroying the traps in the guard room!" Larquidos added.

...who's Drell? Oh well, back to the dungeon!

Ribs quickly began racing past the Thieves and Larquidos' other minions, and eventually caught up to Ivan but at this point, Ivan was already at the bridge.

Larquidos spoke, "Ahh, very good, Ivan. Your timing is indeed useful."

Ribs realized he needed to hurry, and so he began running after Ivan.

"Wait, Keeper!" Ribs called out, "Don't forget me!"

A large green hand came from the ceiling, then flew towards Ivan. It grabbed Ivan and began to fly up back up to the ceiling. Ribs really had to hurry. He kicked the Imp that was claiming the land out of the way, then began to push himself to his limit, running as hard as he could.

Ribs kept running, screaming in slow motion, "NOOOOOO-!!"

Ribs, getting closer to Larquidos' Hand of Evil, took a jump in order to grab a ride. He did managed to grip Larquidos' pointer finger, and felt a sick almost gooey substance at the end of it near the nail.

Eww... Keeper booger!

Ribs was almost safe, he needed to get inside the actual palm of Larquidos' hand along with Ivan in order to ensure his saftey. However, Larquidos' hand reached the ceiling and somehow became transparent as it passed through.

"Holy-!" Ribs eye widened with complete surprise, "How in the Drunken Avatar's na-OOF!!"

Ribs did not become transparent and so his face smacked up against the ceiling and he began falling downward.

"Oh god NOT THE LAVA NOT THE LAVA!!!" Ribs shreiked.

Ribs landed flat on the Imp he had kicked earlier, squishing it and causing it to explode in mana. Ribs shook his head, dazed and confused as he looked around. It found where Larquidos' actual dungeon was, and it didn't seem to be too far... he just had to run across this ridiculously long bridge. But once he passed it, he would be in Larquidos' main dungeon. Ribs still had a chance.

Ribs charged forward, screaming "I'M COMING HOME!!!"

As Ribs continued his long trip down the bridge, he kept screaming. At first it wound sound almost like a battle cry, but as one would continue to listen to it, it begins to sound more like he's just screaming like he's crying or afraid. Possibly laughing. Ribs screamed both like a madman and an idiot all the way down the bridge.

Ribs finally made it to Larquidos' dungeon. Somehow, Ribs didn't feel at home. Infact, he felt like he was in hell. That was possibly due to the fact that both times he was actually in Larquidos' main dungeon, it was in prison or being thrown halfway across the room by a fatass Bile Demon named Kiboo.

Ribs contined onward and found himself in a Training Room and found Ivan sitting there.

"Sup Spider hat friend," Ribs said as he passed by.

Ribs continued going straight, and found himself in a Treasury. He was completely unaware of Drell's presence. Ribs looked around as to where he should go next. Perhaps he should have asked Ivan what they were supposed to do. Ribs found a nice looking Wooden Door and passed by into the Workshop.

Ribs looked around and it didn't take long until he found a Troll manufacturing in the Workshop. Perhaps he could fix his bow. It has been a while since Ribs actually did any work in the Workshop. Unlike other Archers, he preferred the Casino to be his most active location.

Ribs walked up to the Troll, Thefsuth, and asked, "Hey who are you? Do you know what's going on? The Keeper said he needed some people back but he didn't say why. Also, I need a weapon... mine is kinda broken. Make me a new one. Make it look shiny and pimpin."

The Workshop

Thefsuth was chewing his own teeth with stress as he hammered the shell of the freeze trap around the mechanism. He muttered to himself in rage;

'Grubby, wet-wipe-washing, dragon prancing 'round dungeon like it's got nuthin' better ta do with it's eternal life span. "Ooo Look at me I pre-date the invention of fecking picnics and I'll use my eon of experience to SMASH STUFF because daddy dragon never had time to love me between eating my siblings." Grow a pair you whelp!'

Bent double Thefsuth's fingers fidgeted violently for the needed screws.

'An' I 'ave ta save tha dungeon myself! Sure there's other worthless sods here but they need me to change their nappies for them EVEN THOUGH the only shite I ever agreed to clean up was Keeper Grull's and that was because he was VERY PERSUASIVE '

"Drell is destroying the traps in the guard room!"

Thefsuth screamed as he hammered the screws into their sockets CLANG CLANG CLANG

'"Help us Thefsuth! It hurts when the dragon breaths on us! Never mind the fact you're so old you'll probably could be killed by tripping over a chair!" Ungrateful twerps! If I survive this I'm confiscating Everybody's Chairs.'

"Hey who are you? Do you know what's
'I'M WORKIN!'' Thefsuth roared in the skeleton's non-face.

Thefsuth hunched over his trap, hammered the last bolt in furiously with one hand, and used the other to give his visor the finger. Thefsuth was apt at multitasking.

It was done. The Freeze trap rolled off the bench and clanked on the floor complete. Thefsuth quickly darted his attention to Ribs, snatched his broken bow, turned back to his bench and started working.

'Can't work with wood. Haven't got enough time for anything fancy.' Thefsuth swung back round to ribs and handed him what was a rather bent sword. 'It's sharp. Try to maintain enough courage ta stick the pointy bit in the big angry red thing ya paisty-skinned coward.'

Thefsuth bent over and picked the freeze trap up and turned his attention back to ribs. 'What are you standin' there for you pile of bones! Was death so traumatic you lost the will to DIE HORRIBLY AGAIN? We've got a stinkin' hell hole of a dungeon to save! Get ta tha training room before I dismantle you and turn you into something more useful! Like a sodding chair.' Thefsuth grabbed ribs by the collar bones and pulled him so close insects migrated from Thefsuth's face to Rib's skull. 'And I hate chairs.'

Thefsuth sped off to the training room

'IVAN! Ya drooling money-spider! Good ta see ya made tha effort ta attend. I've got a freeze trap an' a rather pitiful skeleton sulkin' about some where. I hope yer lookin' forward ta gettin' yer sorry, scrawny legs torn off, toasted extra crispy, and handed back ta yer flabby torso!'

Summery: Finished freeze trap, made ribs a sword, insulted ribs, went to gaurd room, insulted Ivan.

As one-armed Jack the Thief was ready to knife Val'Kaz, Skios got back up and jumped at Jack's arm, pulling it and the knife he's holding away from Val'Kaz. He then fiercely bit in his wrist, causing him to drop the knife. Following that, he bit him higer up in his arm, holding on to it as he tries to rip the flesh off his arm.

A short while later, Skios managed to rip off the flesh off Jack's arm, resulting in him bleeding to death.

After finishing off Jack and getting off him, Skios noticed that he felt a bit stronger... and gained the ability to use invisibility. :invisibility:

<<That'll probably come in handy later...>>

Now with only one Thief remaining, Skios prepared himself to strike down the last one...

Lucien the Black Knight :lord:

In a motion of events, three thieves appeared out of nowhere that blocked the way and were almost dispatched just as quickly in a rather brutal fashion that Lucien approved of. With only one more Thief (James) remaining he made a surprise assault on him while he was distracted to an allied Spider (Skios).

:lord: Lucien: For the Emperor!

http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/1716/knight5.gif

Lucien striked with his 2-handed sword but James anticipated and dodged that one and countered with some quick and accurate knife stabs before, in an amusing moment, attempting to give Lucien an unsportsmanlike kick that only managed to get himself hurt.

:lord: Lucien: Failure.

Making use of this moment, Lucien quickly knocked James down with the hilt of his sword. And prepared to finish him off.

A thousand images flashed before Val'Kaz's eyes; corpses, black magic, red mist, tearing people to shreads both figuarively and literally, and many more depraved and disgusting things.
It was his entire life before him - and he was completely satisfied, albeit regretful that he hadn't mastered the art of transferring his soul upon his impending and expected death.

Of course, death never came, as Skios the spider, with a few deft moves, managed to render Jack well and truly dead. Very soon after, Lucien, the Black Knight, engaged in combat with James and seemed to have bested him. Val'Kaz hoped no-one had notice his undignified predicament and, standing up, he brushed the dust off of his extremely filthy and tattered purple robes. He turned around to see, amongst others, Necrotyc staring at him, with a stupid grin on his face.

"Don't. Say. A. Word." Val'Kaz emphisized the threat with a fierce stare and hands poised in casting position, suggesting violence was but a hairs breadth away.

"Oh please Val'Kaz, I think I know you well enough not to make such a benine comment. Now lets go, shall we?"

Necrotyc lead off, and once he'd taken a few steps, Val'Kaz followed behind. They passed the scene of James, the final thief, squirming along the ground, attempting to regain his balance. Lucien loomed above his menacingly, ready to make a blow. Necrotyc decided to speed the process along and, with a speedy movement, knocked James out with the pummel of his sword - just to ensure that Lucien's blow would come down and achieve the entirety of its goal.

Summary: Val'Kaz got up, and both he and Necrotyc are heading further down the passage

______

A steady stream of red hot flame left Drell's gaping maw, causing the primarily magical function of the sentry cannon it was aimed at to fail - mana loses fuction at 1000C, apparently. Two swings of his razor-like claws left the momentarily deactivated sentry trap utterly destroyed. Thump.
Drell turned around promptly to face the sentry trap which had just dealt him a stinging blow on his back, harming his spine to a slight degree. A rinse and repeat of his former strategy rendered this sentry trap naught but scrap metal, too, and with a quick cast of heal, Drell was feeling rather good (83% hp - definitely not an arbitrary number!).

______

All 3 sentry traps within the guard room are destroyed, however, both lightning traps remain. Thefsuth and Ivan are encouraged to hurry!

Additionally, James is the only surviving thief, and he is unconcious.

Dranton, the Beetle & Xerina, the Dark Elf

When Ivan reached Xerina and Dranton and asked them what happened to them, Xerina stood silent and turned back to give Dranton an angry stare. Dranton lowered his head and antenas in shame. Ivan hurried back to join others in their fight and Xerina and Dranton went after him. However, when they finally cought up with the rest, they heard Larquidos' voice asking for assistance back in his dungeon and soon after saw a nerby wall coming down - dug by one of Larquidos' Imps.

"I will protect you, Master!", Dranton shouted and ran (crawled) onto the Bridge where his Master could pick him up, then hurried accross toward his Master's domain.

Xerina watched Dranton crawling away, then looked toward the battle. "They have everything under control.", she thought, "My skills would be put to better use defending the Keeper.".

After this Xerina ran on the Brigde as well and headed toward Larquidos' doamin.

--Dranton and Xerina finally caught up with the others, but then decided to run back to help slow Drell down.

After Lucien killed the last Thief he commanded the remaining creatures to move on, but Skios ignored him, being more interested in what made the Keeper urgently call everyone to retreat.

"You go forward yourself, knight guy, I'm gonna check out what the keeper seems to need us for."

Larquidos ceased chanelling his energies into his traps, and immediately prepared to rally the troops with the arrival of reinforcements, whilst Drell took the opportunity to shred the last remaining obstacles in the guard room with his razor like claws and began work on the door which seperated the room from the rest of the dungeon. To be fair, the door, being magical, began work on Drell, too, but tough claws on metal and poor magic on tough hide aren't exactly even combative forces.

At the same moment, Larquidos' mighty green hand of evil picked up the four new volunteers; Dranton, Xerina, Skios and Krua, and dropped them in his native hatchery, suggesting they take a bite to eat before preparing for Drell's inevitable entrance to the dungeon proper.

Supposing that Drell wouldn't be expecting yet another wave of traps, Larquidos sold a single tile of his training room - the one directly adjacant to the door taking a beating - and laid the blueprints for Thefsuth's recently completed freeze trap, before promptly dropping an imp in the workshop and giving him two vigorous slaps - one to get him to hurry, and the other because he was... well, he was Larquidos... and he was angry.

In conjunction with this order, he also informed his imps (or rather, single imp working on the project) to cease mining the lava-like-rimming gold mines and deposit their gold in the treasury post-haste. Perhaps, if everything else went wrong, Drell could submit to a little bit of bribery, but he also couldn't afford to lose any of his imps who were to finish claiming land in Jarquidos' former domain.

Finally, it dawned on him that his creatures whom had volunteered to fight Drell were actually being extremely brave - after all, but a few ancient dragons remain, and those that do are extremely potent.
He decided to give them a little bit of a 'motivational' speech, to boost their will to fight for him no matter what happened.

"Minions, this is a fine hour. An hour in which my power in this realm will either be confirmed and bolstered, or forfeited, and minions, whether I, ackhem, we succeed, is all up to you. You can fight for yourselves, you can fight for me. You can fight for the monetary reward, the fame, the power, the experience, or maybe you simple loathe dragons. No matter what you fight for, minions, consider - do you fight, or do you just roll over dead? You fight, of course! Now give Drell hell."

Just as he finished his fancy little speech, an imp stopped at the intended location for the frost trap, and had just finished setting it up before he was spontaneously impaled by a large chunk of steel, killing the imp almost instantaneously. Standing in place of the door was Drell.

"I'vee waited too long for thiss moment, keeper! Now is your time to fall for intruding upon my landsss". With these words, Drell edged forward on his stumpy legs and realised, but a moment too late, that he had triggered a subtle frost trap, which engulfed him in icy frost and frosty ice, immobilizing his hulking form.

"NOW, minions! Give him hell! Unleash everything you've got on him whilst you still have the chance, lest he remain too strong for you when he's unfrozen."

KEEPER POST!!!!

Drell is frozen in place of the recently destroyed magic door connecting Larquidos' guard room and training room. All minions in the dungeon have been given a speech and ordered to attack Drell with everything they have.

Ivan

Ivan blankly stares at Thefsuth.

"If the Dragon is stupid enough to walk into the Freeze Trap, I got something in mind where death will not happen." Ivan said as the Exo-Exoskeleton's eyes gleam.

Ivan looks as four more creatures are dropped in the Hatchery.
Then he feels the crashing of a door, the Magic Door that leads to the Training Room.

Ivan scuttles his way to the source of disturbance, finding himself a Frozen Drell.

Excellent...

Ivan jumps onto the Frozen Dragon, crawls behind him, and starts webbing (With extra reinforced web!) Drell's frozen wings. After that, Ivan would crawl up to Drell's frozen face, web his mouth shut, and covered his eyes with webbing as well. Ivan then makes strands from the roof and wall onto Drell, all reinforced with extra webbing.

Once Ivan was done, the webbing looked almost like it was thick heavy duty ropes, except web.

"Okay, now we can "Give him hell." Ivan said to himself, pleased with his creepy artistic web work.

Rob gives a stare at Ribs. Just a blank stare. A undying blank stare, a blank stare so blank that it was blank blank of blanks.

"Okay, now I want to see what's going oooooooonnn...,,..damn, that one's big."

While Ivan was webbing in Drell, Skios used Invisibility to sneak up behind Drell, and waited for the right time to strike. Krua also entered the training room, ready to put Drell back in ice in case he manages to get out of it.

Dranton, the Beetle & Xerina, the Dark Elf

Dranton and Xerina were picked up from the Bridge and dropped into the Hatchery. Xerina headed toward the Training Room immediately, while Dranton grabbed a chicken and started to devour it.
"We shall feast once the beast hath fallen.", Xerina thought while leaving Hatchery.

In the Training Room, the Magic Door were getting deformed and started to crack. Xerina prepared her crossbow and stood by, while listening to Larquidos' encouragement and watching the Imp dragging the Freeze Trap.

As Dranton was entering the Training Room, the Magic Door shattered into pieces, with one of them impaling Larquidos' Imp. As Drell stepped into the room, he was frozen solid almost immediatelly by the Freeze Trap. As Ivan was webbing the frozen dragon, Dranton started to circle around him, looking for weak spots - now that he could safely take a close look at the huge beast. Still, he could not completely shake off the fear of such a monstrosity breaking free.
"Blind the beast.", Xerina told her companions, "That should give us the edge we need.".
Having said that, Xerina aimed at Drell's left eye - now covered by Ivan's webbing - ready to shoot as soon as Ivan moves out of the way.

--Dranton ate and is now circling around Drell, looking for weak spots. Xerina told everyone to try and blind the dragon and aimed at Drell's left eye.

Dranton, the Beetle & Xerina, the Dark Elf

As Ivan finished webbing Drell, he crawled down and admired his masterpiece. At this point Xerina shot a bolt at Drell's left eye. The beast roared in pain, but it's roar was deafened by Ivan's webbing and the fact the webbing stopped him from opening his mouth.

Dranton couldn't find any weak spots, so he started crawling over Drell intending to get to his head. However, cracking sounds could be heard underneath the webbing, as Drell was fightin to break out of his icy prison. Soon after Dranton stepped on Drell's tail, it started shaking and shivering, and soon after it got loose and swung Dranton at a nearby wall.

"Owww...", Dranton said faintly, as he watched the beast struggle to get free.

Drell might have gotten his tail loose, but most of his body is stil immobile, his mouth is still webbed and he is still blinded.

Val'Kaz and Necrotyc, marginally ahead of their compatriots, moved forward with sheer determination - for approximately 55 seconds.

On what was likely the 50th second, Val'Kaz felt something under his right foot give way as he stepped forward, and heard a smooth stone-on-stone scraping noise. Following this, on the 52nd through 55th seconds, a loud clanking sound was heard, followed by the turning of poorly oiled metal gears. Then, until the 59th second, an all but indiscernible door made of dirt began to raise on the skeleton's and warlock's left hand side. By the 60th second, the door was completely raised.

A hiss came from the previously hidden room which Val'Kaz and Necrotyc could now see into with relative clarity. Embedded in the hiss was the pain and suffering associated with an intense, difficult childbirth, in addition to a healthy dose of bestial fury and rage. Necrotyc and Val'Kaz walked into the room, which was paved with oddly colored tiles, and quickly discovered that it was absolutely filthy, and held within it the stench of great masses of waste, not to mention the waste itself. In the furthest, south eastern corner, the two viewed the source of the vile hissing sounds which continued to permeate the air.

It was a female dragon.
With a clutch of demon spawn between her legs.
But she was exhausted.

Necrotyc gave Val'Kaz a knowing look, before dashing out of the room to greet the rest of his fellows. He beckoned to the group in front of him, which included a pair of black knights and a skeleton, before turning around to meet back up with Val'Kaz.
Meanwhile, Val'Kaz poised his hands, ready to fire should the need arise.

"Move, and I kill your babies", he spoke with a vile sneer.

Summary: Necrotyc and Val'Kaz activated the way to the secret room, which contained a female dragon having just given birth to demon spawn.

Disclaimer: Yeah, apparently dragons don't lay eggs. Who knew?

Noticing Drell break out from the ice, Skios jumped at Drell's tail, latched on to it, and bit him fiercely in his tail. Drell's tail was flailing about wildly, but Skios was stuck hard enough on the tail to not be swept off.

Meanwhile, Krua waited a little longer to use Freeze. Even though the dragon defrosted, it's still only barely mobile because of Ivan's webbing.

Summary: Skios attacked Drell from behind. Krua doesn't use Freeze (yet).

Lucien then saw a Dragon of average size with a Demonspawn baby, the Dragon was seemingly becoming more aggravated by the moment with the intruders to her lair. Obviously the Warlock did not help matters. Lucien then drew his sword.

Vermillion, the Rogue

A cowardly, back-stabbing rogue emerged from one of the Dungeon Portals of Keeper Larquidos's infernal domain. His most destinctive feature, however, was the hideous facial scaring across the left side of his visage. Both of these afflictions were the result of a run-in with a rowdy mob of drunken wizards, and both could be said to be incurable.

->Vermsy, he hopes the new Keeper likes him. He also hopes the Keeper also isn't fond of slapping and torture.<-

Vermillion slinked into the Heart Chamber, addressing the Keeper.

"Ahhh... his name is Vermillion. He could serve you, as a Rogue, yes? He assures you of his loyalty. The Roguish Verm, he is experienced in stabbing people, sneakiness, improvised prison cuisine and survivalfulness. Vermsy knows, he does. These things, they come naturally to him."

-->Improvised prison cuisine indeed! That is one way to put it...<--

Ignoring the Voice, the Rogue slipped out again, setting up his lair in the nearby Lair. He had a quick power-nap to restore him to full health after his torture in the dungeon of Keeper Tesonu. With this done he headed for the Training Room, aiming to rank up to Level 4.

->Let Vermsy see what the puny training dummy has in store today!<-

Ivan the Spider watches as Xerina fires a arrow at the Dragon's left eye, Dranton getting hit to the side by the Dragon's unfrozen tail and Skios biting into Drell's tail.
Taking this moment, Ivan launches himself towards Drell, stabbing his legs into the side's of Drell's stomach, making Ivan cling onto the dragon.

Ivan unveils his fangs from the Exo-Exoskeleton armour and rams his deadly toxic fangs into Drell's chest. Ivan grinds his fangs while they're inside of him, trying to get as much poison into him from his slowly poison leaking fangs.

"Mrph!"

Ivan's senses tingle when Vermillion walks into the Training Room and hits a training dummy. Ivan pulls his fangs back abit to speak clearly.

"Hey, human, mind helping us out here?!" Ivan asked with a strained tone as his digs his fangs back into the dragon.

Vermillion, the Rogue

Vermillion hit the Training Dummy again half-heartedly and was rewarded by a level up!

CREATURE LEVELLED
Nothing Unlocked

It was then that someone called out from across the training room.

"Hey, human, mind helping us out here?!"

For the first time, the Rogue noticed the odd coalition of creatures combating what was in fact a great big hulking dragon in this very room. He certainly hoped this wasn't the norm in the dungeon of Keeper Larquidos. It most definitely didn't seem economical to be dropping hostile monstrosities in every third room.

It was then that his self-preservation circuits snapped into place, having been temporarily stunned by what was suddenly set against. Vermillion started jumping up and down, screaming and pointing.

"There's a dragon in the room! THERE IS A DRAGON IN THE ROOM!? AAAARRRGGHHHH!!!! Who be putting a dragon in the room?????"

The Rogue analysed what he was saying, then noticed the redundancy of it. That weird coalition of creatures seemed to realise it was there, hence the fighting it. If the Keeper didn't realise it would be a turn-up... unless there were heaps of dragons elsewhere of course.

"...he thought people should know," he finished lamely.

The revelation had given him quite a turn and he had the suspicion he had wet himself, but wasn't eager to check.

Normally under these circumstances he would run away, but he was new in the dungeon and the Keeper was undoubtedly watching. He sighed, and the Voice radiated unhappiness. He would have to go into battle against that.

-->I believe they call it trial by fire... in ohhhh-so-many ways.<--

Vermillion charged into battle...

Drell was mad.

It is only on the very rare occasion that dragons are met with anything remotely resembling resistance. The vast majority of creatures, nay, living things, tended to avoid them simply due to their reputation. This is particularly true of ancient dragons - those who had lived to see many generations of creatures, humanoids and keepers all. In other circumstances, those bold or foolish enough to raise their fists or spells against a dragon are promptly defeated, lightly charred and devoured with gusto. So it was only with great shock and indeed, awe, that Drell found himself not only frozen by a vile and dishonorable trap, but punctured in the eye with a bolt, blinded and bound with webbing, attacked from behind by a pesky spider and partially eviscerated by the very same metal-clad spider who had encased him in sticky webbing.

Drell was a dragon used to winning his battles. He was timeless, and had strength to decimate entire armies of Keepers. He had done so in the past, and had, for all intents and purposes, expected to do the very same thing today. Naturally, just like such a dragon, he had no reason to believe that he ought to change his track record of victory after victory. And so, from the very darkest corner of his being, a word came to mind. A word of potency. A word of decimation. A word only uttered by the most capable or gifted of spell casters - it was THE Word of Power.
The word, or perhaps it should be called a sound, started as a guttural roar in the back of Drell's throat. But as he savored it, and the destruction he was soon to unleash, it became much like his regular hissing speech, though the incantation was unknown to all else present at the scene.

Larquidos noticed but a fraction too late, so that he was unable to intervene. It was a shame, really. He could have saved his minions some pain. But that was the price one paid for attempting to view two situations at once. The other situation was, much to Larquidos' satisfaction, going infinitely more well.

The wave of energy which surged from Drell was most potent at the core, immediately knocking the battle-ready Ivan off his bulky frame. As the surge continued outwards, it proceeded to hit all of Larquidos' minions in the locale, throwing back Krua, Skios, Dranton and toppling Xerina off her feet. Perhaps the most put out by this outburst of energy was the new Rogue on the scene, Vermillion, who never ever got to engage.
"Thissssssss is more like it. You will all ssssee and regret the futility of encroaching upon my lair. I will tolerate no danger whatsoever for my offspring!"
After making his prideful decleration, Drell let a surge of liquid fire roll from the back of his tongue and onto his facial webbing, setting it alight and burning it whilst simultaneously melting the remaining ice around him. The searing heat caused by the flame burnt his webbed eyes, but he had thought of that, too.

Perhaps the best known feature of dragons, excepting their ability to breathe fire, is their uncanny ability to regenerate. It would be this very trait of dragons which Drell would then exploit.

Drell felt his skin crawl and bones shift in a delightful manner as the magic wrought its work. The hole in his belly first quivered, then squirmed as new flesh covered the unwanted and rather painful orifice. His eyes were perhaps the most awkward aspect of his recovery, the optic jelly forming in such a manner as to push the bolt which had pierced one of his eyes out, and simply repairing the other with a surge of benevolently acting (from his perspective, at least) magic.

"Thisssssssss is my land. Thissss is my fortress. You will all leave now, lesssst I destroy you. Know that I spare you only so that your loathsome master can perish all the sooner. Anyone present when I am finished with him will suffer a similar, but perhapsss more edible fate."

With these words, Drell began trudging towards Larquidos' beating heart, slashing through a braced door in a swipe and moving towards a second, this time magic, door, all the while chanting the Word of Power again to deter any minions following him. When this door fell, nothing would stand between him and ensuring the safety of his clutch.

Drell is kicking ass! Drell recovered from his frozen state and webbing, and is now attacking the magic door directly outside Larquidos' heart room. All minions in the locale were blasted by his Word of Power, and may take some time to recover.

Disclaimer: Before 'yall call OP or any of that jazz, this is directly in line with the plot. So hold yar horses, ya hear? This is an ANCIENT dragon we're talking, dawgs!

The Dragon's sudden breaking free and using Word of Power knocked Skios, who was sitting on the Dragon's Tail, off and sent him flying all the way into the guard room. He quickly recovered from his fall, but felt he wasn't in a condition to still fight anymore. Krua was also knocked back by the show of power from the Dragon. Fortunately, she managed to preserve the Freeze spell she was preparing. By the time she was recovered from the impact, though, Drell had moved forward and was ready to attack the Dungeon Heart of the Keeper.

When she got up, she saw the Dragon, who had gone through the corridor. Now was the time to strike. In the next second, she quickly charged as much energy as she could, and shot out a powerful Freeze ball. It was sparkling with energy. The Dragon was hit and covered completely in a thick layer of ice.

The Dragon wasn't the only creature that felt a surge of cold energy: Krua, after exhausting herself from the Freeze spell, felt a sudden increase of power in the aftermath of the Freeze spell. Her magic grew just a bit stronger, and regained her the ability to use Invisibility.

That said, however, her priorities were now set on checking out how her brother was doing in the guard room. She saw him, standing on the ground in the Guard room.

"...you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm ok... the Dragon hurt me good, though. ...ow...Wait here."

Summary: Krua froze Drell with a powerful Freeze, leveled up, and reconciled with Skios in the Guard Room.

Lucien the Black Knight :lord:

Lucien decided to make the first move on the dragon brood by storming the mother dragon herself, ignoring her young completely. This proved to be a very bad idea, because Lucien was sideswiped litterly by a mighty tail swipe, sending him flying against a wall, knocking Lucien on his back and stunning him.

:lord: Lucien: Ughhh...

The helpless Black Knight was still trying to regain his senses he did not notice one of the demonspawn young was closing in on him…

Lucien attempted to attack the mother dragon but got tail swiped and one of the young is closing in on him.

Vermillion, the Rogue

Vermillion was, in fact, the first to recover from the onslaught of Drell's Word of Power. You wouldn't have known it, of course, because he was busy lying on the ground trying very hard to look unconscious. The tremors of fear shaking his entire body somewhat ruined the effect.

The Rogue got to his feet gibbering inconsolably, making wild hand gestures with a manic crazed look in his eyes.

"They dropped a dragon on him... it was the wizards, its always the wizards... Vermsy, he feels them plotting, always the plotty he alleges... but a dragon? The Rogue, he can't even train in peace these days.... without... without a DRAGON sneaky-ing up on him! He has Sight, for the love of the dark ones on high! It has to be the wizards..."

Vermillion moaned dejectedly, falling back against a training dummy for support.

Fatally weakened by Drell's powerful magic, it decided with malevolent-intent that it had taken enough flak from creatures over the course of its long career and that it was perfectly within its rights to give out. Unable to support their combined weight, the rebellious training dummy fell to the floor, plunging a surprised Vermillion with back down with it.

A surprised squeal followed by a wet thud echoed through the training room.

Ahhh, revenge... how do you like me now, you insensitive pillock?

Vermillion, of course, did not respond to this, never suspecting a thing. That didn't stop him kicking the training dummy afterwards though. As one might expect of him, this didn't end well as the rogue stubbed his toe.

Hoping away and clutching his foot, he never once in his occasional bouts of borderline paranoia suspected the inanimate object was mentally sniggering at him.

-->Wasn't there a dragon!?<--

The Rogue focused his sight to get a picture of events. One of the spiders had frozen the dragon, but he hadn't hung around which Vermillion considered a wise choice. No one else had recovered yet.

->What!?? You want him to face it alone? Vermsy, he calls you insane!<-

The Voice coughed, if that was at all possible. Before offering only this;

-->Well I'll be with you. If I was you... well... I couldn't think of a greater reassurance. Especially if I was as much of an idiot as you.<--

Vermillion bristled, but a sharp prod from the back of his mind by the Voice, like an elderly man in his armchair prodding the TV with his cane, made him angrily bite back his response.

He slipped into the shadows, approaching the dragon once more. This time though, he wasn't running pell-mell across the length and breadth of the training room. He was sneaking up on it from behind.

As they were both well outside of the bounds of Larquidos domain, neither Necrotyc nor Val'Kaz were fully aware of the events transpiring in the distant training room. Val'Kaz, however, did notice a strangely potent wave of power in the air, and whilst he did give pause to ponder what it could be, he couldn't fathom why he would care in the slightest as to what caused it.

Not a moment after the surge of power had passed, Val'Kaz's compatriot, Lucien the Black Knight, stepped forward to attack the dragon. The dragon appeared well prepared, however, as it toppled the knight quickly, dashing him against a nearby wall. The knight appeared rather pained, and when a demonspawn began to move towards him, Necrotyc decided it was time to intervene. He turned to his side to address Val'Kaz.
"I'll keep the dragon busy. You take care of these demonspawn." The skeleton gestured towards the trio of lowly beasts at the broodmother's feet. "Oh, and give me cover fire, alright? I'm hardly match for the dragon, let alone a bunch of her little anklebiters."


Val'Kaz interjected himself between the dazzled knight and the nearest demonspawn and, with a gust of flame from his fingers and an utterance of the magic words, the demonspawn was blown away towards the searing hot lava. Necrotyc, meanwhile, was having a much less fun time. The dragon broodmother had spat a molten ball of flame at his chest cavity which, although it didn't hurt per se, did significant structural damage to his ribs and weighed his chest down considerably. The excess weight represented by the ball also slowed him significantly, rendering him with three outrageous appendages on his shield and two shins.

"Val'Kaz, didn't I ask you for backup?", the skeleton asked with just a little dash of sarcasm in his voice.

Val'Kaz blasted the demonspawn going after Lucien. Necrotyc is having a bad time with the other 4 beasties.

Combat Summary:
Necrotyc: 70% (Dragon flame spit, demonspawn biters. Is also slowed from significant weighting).
Val'Kaz (100%, no change)

Demonspawns 1,2,3: 100% (no change)
Demonspawn 4: 80% (was fireballed in the face)
Dragon: 100% (No Change)

Slish the Overly Lazy Salamander

He ascends from the portal, a whirl of smoke pooling around his form as he takes in the light of the dungeon. He feels the warmth of nearby lava heat up his skin. "Yes! A lava area..." Slish exclaims to himself and he takes his first steps from the portal entrance to the Dungeon Heart, where he says his hellos to the Keeper.

"Hello, Keeper... my name is Slish. I can serve you well in battle, and in research. But please, do not put me in a workshop."

Slish suddenly hears a thumping noise behind a nearby magic door and then the sound a freezing. Slish approaches the magic door, and peeks through to find a frozen, level 10 dragon that is definetly not on his side. He backs away, and the door closes again. "I... don't think I can fight that thing...."

Summary
Slish enters the dungeons, says his hellos to the Keeper, and then hears a thumping noise and freeze behind a door. When he investigates, he sees an angry, frozen enemy Level 10 dragon. He has his doubts on fighting him.

Asifet

Asifet entered the dungeon domain of Keeper Larquidos through the distant portal which had once belonged to Jarquidos. He strode from the Portal chamber with significantly more athletecism then most warlocks ever manage. He sought to pioneer a new type of spell-casting... a more martial way.

\\Excellent, glorious heat pervades this realm. My old mentors wouldn't come near it with a ten-foot staff, the rigid old fools//

He strode from the portal room.... he strode and then stopped.

"This is a bit of a problem."

The warlock was on the far side of the realm from the Keepers distant heartbeat.

\\Unfortunate. I took the wrong entrance, but little matter. I shall not greet the Keeper yet. No doubt they would prefer battle-readiness to mere pleasantries. I shall train in the mean time.//

He entered the distant training room and slipped into combat stance, his staff raised. Suffice to say this staff had more blades of the slashing and impaling type than most warlocks staves, but it still had a magical orb for spell-casting. He was still a warlock afterall.

Asifet spun into action like a whirling dervish, blades flashing and glinting. The decorative breastplate beneath his robes glittered.

Ribs the Stupefied :skeleton:

Thefsuth suddenly snapped at Ribs, cutting him off midway through his own sentance. After finishing his Trap, Thefsuth snatched Ribs' broken bow and tried to work but he seemed to have difficulty.

"Can't work with wood. Haven't got enough time for anything fancy," Thefsuth explained to Ribs. Ribs became rather confused, "Then how do you make Wooden Doors? What's going on here anyways Troll guy?"

Thefsuth didn't seem to be listening and handed Ribs a pretty bent sword, "It's sharp. Try to maintain enough courage ta stick the pointy bit in the big angry red thing ya paisty-skinned coward."

Ribs wasn't sure what to do. He began to think for a moment, or at least, get as close as he could possibly get to producing thoughts. He had no idea what the big red thing Thefsuth spoke of was exactly, nor whether or not he'd be capable of fighting it.

"What are you standin' there for you pile of bones!?" Thefsuth suddenly questioned Ribs, who was only paying half of his attention, "Was death so traumatic you lost the will to DIE HORRIBLY AGAIN? We've got a stinkin' hell hole of a dungeon to save! Get ta tha training room before I dismantle you and turn you into something more useful! Like a sodding chair."

Suddenly Thefsuth grabbed Ribs by the color bones and brought him to face level, speaking in an angry whisper, "And I hate chairs."

Thefsuth then began running out of the Workshop to a location unknown to Ribs. Ribs couldn't be anymore confused of what just happened, partially due to the fact that he wasn't fully paying attention but mostly due to his own stupidity. He didn't realize how grateful he should be for not being able to smell the Troll's breath.

Woah, what's with that guy? He suddenly went from handing me a sword and telling me to fight a red thing to screaming at me and threatening to turn me into a chair and then tried to kiss me. I think he must be on his period or something to be that moody.

Ribs took the sword even though he couldn't fight very well with it, being as his only experiance is as an Archer. At the moment, it was his only weapon unless he decided to use his Arrows as Spears or Javelins. He could use his bow as an assassination weapon if he tried to strangle someone with the string but he was far too incompetent to be successful in that.

Ribs exited the Workshop and entered a Treasury. There didn't seem to be too much Gold there so Ribs began to feel like Larquidos wasn't paying him because he was broke. Even so, Ribs felt he had to kill the red thing. He was far too freaked out by the Troll that tried to kiss to disobey. Ribs found three routes he could take. A Braced Door to his right and left, and a passage in front of him without any door.

Ribs took the left passage and found it. He found the giant red thing that the Troll had told him about. It was so completely hideous, but Ribs knew what he had to do.

"DIE RED THING!!" Ribs hollered.

Ribs, caught up in the excitement of the moment, leaped into the air like a red mustached plumber then allowed gravity to send him into a dive towards the red thing. Ribs gripped his bent sword tightly, feeling the time for him to gain his fame, fortune, and women upon him!

Well... Larquidos didn't have too much of the fortune. His Creatures were pretty creepy so obtaining fame here may not be all that. And the only woman Ribs met in the dungeon was a Spider, and he wasn't sure if he wanted her for his bride.

Ribs shook the doubt from his mind. Regardless of the outcome, it is too late to go back. Ribs stabbed the red thing upon landing as hard as he could. Blood began gushing out from the wound Ribs inflicted on the red thing. He began screaming and laughing at the same time because of what he had done, he had achieved victory!

Yes! It will all be mine!

Fame!

FORTUNE!!

SPIDER GIRLFRIEND!!!

Suddenly, a powerful yet scary deep voice echoed throughout the entire dungeon.

YOUR DUNGEON HEART IS UNDER ATTACK!

Ribs then realized the huge mistake he had done.

"OHGODOHGODOHGOD!! Sweet Lord Avatar what have I done!!??" Ribs shrieked and then grabbed the sides of his head in a panic as he continued to freak out.

Ribs began running around the Dungeon Heart in confusion while he screamed like a fool. He was uncertain of what he should do. After several laps around the Dungeon Heart, Ribs ran through a Braced Door then tripped on his own foot and landed on his head. He heard a crack then toppled over onto his back. Only one word came to his mind.

Ow.

Though Ribs didn't actually feel any pain, it was natural for him to say "Ow" after hurting himself.

The bump on Ribs' head made Ribs forget briefly what just happened, but then an Imp walked up to Ribs.

"Hey, you ok there buddy?" the Imp asked Ribs simply.

Ribs sat up then looked around. He began taking the information he recieved all wrong. The words and place were greatly familiar to him. He was in a Casino, waking up on his back with pain in the head and someone asking him if he's ok. It was only obvious to Ribs that none of it was real and that it was all just a horrible dream, he had just been drinking again!

"I'm fine, get me a drink," Ribs told the Imp in a commanding voice, "Anything."

Ribs stood up then found a chair to sit in while he waited for the Imp to serve him a drink. The Imp returned, setting a drink on the table near Ribs. Shortly after, Ribs heard a very loud exploison type noise, and the Casino seemed to rumble a bit, causing the drink to tip over, annoying Ribs.

"Damn it! What the hell is that noise?" Ribs asked himself aloud.

Ribs stepped outside the Casino then walked across the Heart Chamber, ignoring the Dungeon Heart that was still bleeding with Ribs' sword stuck in it. He stepped over to the Magic Door and heard a loud breathing and fire sound coming from outside it, along with scratching noises.

Hmm... that door looks more banged up than I remember it being...

Ribs slowly moved closer to the Magic Door, then opened it a tiny bit. He hit the back of his head and his eyeball popped out. He didn't fully realize what he was doing as he was just following a simple Skeleton instinct pattern right now. He then plucked his eyeball from the ground, then stuck his arm outside the door and allowed his eye to see what was going on.

Ribs witnessed the mighty Dragon, Drell, clawing on the door while breathing fire on it! Ribs freaked out, then retracted his arm back behind the Door, and quickly threw his eyeball back in his eye. He slammed the Magic Door shut, and started setting up every lock on the Door so that no one, not even Larquidos' own Creatures, could pass. He continued to freak out and ran around the Dungeon Heart screaming again, before leaping on and grabbing one of the Dungeon Heart's pillars.

"HELP ME LARQUIDOS I DON'T WANT TO DIE WITH YOU!!!" Ribs cried and then began to scream nonstop.

Ribs went the wrong direction and ended up in the Heart Chamber, then confused Larquidos' Dungeon Heart as the red thing he was supposed to attack. Ribs attacked Larquidos' Dungeon Heart, then freaked out when he realized what it was.

Ribs ended up in the Casino after running around Larquidos' Dungeon Heart in panic. He tripped then hit his head, and got confused. He thought it was all a dream, and that he had been drinking again. Drell casted Word of Power at the Magic Door at the Heart Chamber, catching Ribs' attention. He stepped outside then peeked outside the Magic Door with his eyeball in his hand. He saw Drell, then freaked out again and locked the Magic Door up so no one could get through unless it was destroyed.

Ribs then clinged onto one of Larquidos' Dungeon Heart's Pillars, and screamed that he didn't want to die with Larquidos.

Asifet continued his war against the training room, working up a sweat.

\\I shall not kowtow to those out-of-touch old fossils. Let them see what fighting really is.//

Lucien the Black Knight :lord:

The demonspawn was about to attack the then-still-dazed Lucien when the former got a fireball right in it’s face into the lava. Lucien took this opportunity of peace to regain his senses and get back on his feet. To the warlock that saved him he nodded his head in thanks but then he returned to the task at hand; his allies needed help, especially the Skeleton.

:skeleton: Necrotyc: Val'Kaz, didn't I ask you for backup?

The Skeleton was so occupied with the remaining enemies especially the dragon that he failed to spot that the earlier demonspawn prepared to jump and attack him from behind.

:lord: Lucien: Behind you!

The demonspawn jumped, but Lucien quickly intervened by shoulder charging the mid-air demonspawn against the wall very hard. Then Lucien began to cut again and again with his sword into the demonspawn and started taunting the dragon to divert attention away from the Skeleton.

:lord: Lucien: Is that all you can do bunch of overgrown lizards!?

Lucien grew slightly bigger as he leveled up!

Lucien regained his senses and prevented an attack on Necrotyc and is taunting the mother dragon.

Ivan

Ivan felt his body be nearly thrown off of Drell's body by some strange magical surge, complete utter pain coursing through his exoskeleton as he thuds on the ground with a sickening crack.

Ow... Ivan thought to himself as he squirms on the ground for a moment and lifts himself back up.

Ivan's eight legs seemed to be wobbly till he regained his senses as he sees Drell going towards Keeper Larquidos Dungeon Heart, as he broke his way through the braced and magic door that was in Drell's way. Ivan hisses to himself, as he sees Krua throw a magical ball of ice at the Dragon before going into the Guardroom.

All Ivan can do is wait for the moment, as the dragon seemed to kept casting the strange magic surge.

Rob

Rob saw Lucien protect the Skeleton by ramming the Demon Spawn into a wall and cutting it with his weapon. With that, and a bestial roar, Rob launches himself against the Dragon Mother and her children.

A dragon spawn jumps towards him, and Rob swings his axe against it.
A sickening splatter of blood spilled onto the ground as the Demon Spawn was nearly cut in half, as it had was a deep bleeding wound before it was sent flying against the wall from the force of Rob's undead might.

At this time, the Dragon Mother spat fire into Rob's direction, hitting him in the head. His helmet is knocked off as it rolls on the ground for a moment, smoke covering Rob's head from the impact. As it cleared up, Rob's face was seen; His 'infected' skin seemed to be on half of his face, long gray hair, he seemed to be missing his other eye, and it appeared that his jaw's bones are exposed.

Rob glares at the Dragon Mother as he jumps himself at her, tackling her against the wall. Sickening pops came from Rob's body as he overexerted himself from that single action.

Another Demon Spawn jumps onto Rob and bites into his back, but it seemed Rob didn't even feel it at all as he grabs the Dragon's head with his gauntlet covered hand and points the dragon's mouth away from the ground.

Vermillion, the Rogue & Asifet

Vermillion was lurking in the shadows behind the frost-covered monstrosity that was an angry frozen Drell looming like a great ice-sculpture. The rogue knew it could crush him like a rat to a mallet.

More than that it probably had the inclination to that very thing, and would likely find pleasure in it too. The real clincher though was that the dragon was a creature of flame.

->It could turn poor Vermsy into a crispy rat kebab! The rogue, he hates flame. They killed Vex with flame! They tried to kill HIM with flame!<-

In front the dragon was a magic door, and behind that, the beating heart of a Keeper. A Keeper he barely knew.

-->Calm down, you fool, we can do this. The beast is frozen for demon's sake! <--

->Not for you, and not for anyone! Vermsy says no!<-

It was too late. The rogue broke from cover, sprinting for the Portal Chamber with speed that may have shamed a champion sprinter. His legs pumped and sweat rolled down from under his mask. Hysterical screaming hung in the air behind, achieving a pitch that would have shamed an opera singer. It was a miracle that Drell's glacial coating didn't crack.

This proved too much for his Inner Self, however, as his path took him right past the dragon.

-->YOU, WILL, NOT, RUIN, THIS! I want respect, you imbecile, I WANT PRESTIGE! I'm sick of being looked down on because of YOU!<--

The Voice responded by giving his idiot companion what would surely be one of the greatest mental jabs ever. Vermillions eyes bulged and tears formed. His resulting yelp of pain cut across his panicked screaming with the force of a Tremor spell, dislodging earth and rocks from the ceiling.

"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-wwwwwweeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

-->That FEEELS SO GOOD! I have waited an age to do that.<--

It went down in history as, perhaps, the highest-pitched battle-cry ever. It redefined cringe-worthy.

Vermillion staggered off course, slamming into Drells leg, falling back onto the hard ground. He didn't even notice.

...THEN he noticed.

The rogue back-pedalled along the ground furiously.

"No, NO, NO, NO, NO!"

The Voice was standing by with the red-hot poker of mental torture, though, and decided perhaps that another jab was required. It wasn't as hard as its predecessor, but the memory still lingered. Vermillion screamed and leapt gibbering at the dragon with daggers drawn, just to get away from the mental pain.

The rogue began stabbing at Drell's leg in a hysterical frenzy. The bulk of his attacks didn't penetrate the tough hide, but he kept at it. Slowly hacking the skin to mush, and then the muscles, and then the tendons.



Asifet was working up a sweat in the training room, we distraction hit.

\\Huh?//

A high-pitched scream reverberated through the training room, rattling the fittings.

\\Did somebody just a Giant where it hurts, with a BATTERING RAM?//

The warlock tried very hard not to speculate any further on the the noise.

Larquidos was intent on watching Drell, for he knew that this dragon had the power to slay him. He viewed it with a mix of fear and interest, for its immense power impressed even he. With the dragon frozen solid and the entrance of Vermillion to the dungeon, Larquidos has no choice but for his concentration on the situation to wane.
As the rogue introduced himself, Larquidos welcomed him, and suggested that he do as he please in an attempt to 'scout out' his aptitude.

He viewed the rogue with interest. Although he appeared to have the vision of a deaf bat, not noticing the commotion going on around him, once the realization of combat did occur to him, he proved himself to be very admirable, charging the dragon with zeal. Unfortunately, he was knocked back with a wave of potent magical force, but that didn't stop Larquidos appreciating the effort. Drell's movement towards his dungeon heart worried him greatly, however.

Shortly after the wave had dissipated, Larquidos found his attention on a Salamander in his heart chamber, who introduced himself as Slish. The salamander promptly proved himself a coward, however, and so Larquidos turned his attention back towards the new rogue, Vermillion, who had mustered the valor to fight the dragon once more. Larquidos noted with interest, however, that the rogue moved this time with stealth, clearly planning to take the dragon unawares, even though it had already been frozen by Krua.

With the dragon once again frozen, Larquidos took the opportunity to organize his minions - or he would have, if he didn't suddenly experience a stab of searing pain in his... where was the pain coming from? Larquidos had long since forgotten the restraints of an earthly form. Of course, Larquidos promptly realized that the beast responsible for his anguish was not, in fact, Drell, but was rather the skeleton Ribs.

"You're going to regret you ever existed, puny skeleton. But you're yet of use to me."
Larquidos promptly picked Ribs up and placed him in recently claimed tiles directly adjacent to the broodmother's cavern, but not before magically placing Ribs' newly acquired and now keeper-blood soaked sword in his skeletal fist. He then unleashed a flurry of slaps, pushing Ribs directly into the middle of the room and causing him to collide with Necrotyc, who still had a single demonspawn weighting on him. This weighting quickly realized that it was outnumbered and dropped off Necrotyc's right shin, instead deciding to charge the knight which had, of all things, decided to fight its mother.

With Ribs dealt with, Larquidos turned his attention back towards the Drell situation. Larquidos had to admit to himself that he was rarely impressed, but the haste with with Vermillion had integrated himself within his force of minions pleased him greatly. Taking care not to announce the fact to Drell, Larquidos subtly (if that's at all possible) cast Speed Monster on Vermillion, for but a brief duration.

That'll do for now, he thought to himself. But let's hope my idiots muster themselves soon...

Not too much happened. Larquidos welcomed Vermillion, noticed Slish, punished Ribs and used Speed Monster on Vermillion.

Asifet

Asifet finished off his training session and went to get something to eat.

Impaling a squawking bird on the end of his staff, he slowly roasted it over a torch. It flapped vainly but eventually gave in, giving in to its own inevitable demise.

\\I deserve this, I should think.//

The warlock ate the chicken and went back for seconds. They tasted like chicken, which was good, because if they hadn't it would have raised questions.

This done, he decided it was time to do some research. Asifet entered the musty, disused library and started researching.

As he approached a bookcase, two books of interest caught his eye and he was immediately torn. The first book was a dark green with gold letters embossed across it proclaiming that it was, " Sigelmore's Guide to Hold Audience." The other was a little worse for wear, but the simple black lettering emblazoned across the tome still stuck out against its maroon-brown cover marked it as "Ye Guide to Archaik Magickes: Healings."

"Curses and Hellfire, what to read, dammit?"

Which should he go for? Had other warlocks already perused similar works? The torn warlock solved the problem by setting them both on a reading stand and starting off with the heal spell.

Necrotyc wasn't having the best time, but his time was about to get just a little worse. He noticed, perhaps more through a sixth sense (of dread) that he was to be charged in the rear by a demonspawn. He was therefore quite pleasantly surprised when Lucien came to his senses faster than Necrotyc had expected, and charged the demonspawn before hacking at it mercilessly, simultaneously taunting its mother.

At the same moment, however, Rob, the other black knight, charged the dragon mother, slashing furiously as a demonspawn - Necrotyc's forearm weight, to be more exact - jumped at him. Necrotyc's right shin weight noticed at that time that its mother was in peril.

It is, perhaps, the instinct of every living animal to defend one's young. The young are an essential step towards the future, as they are to carry on the species. Few species are so powerful, however, as to have fighting newborns. But that's what demonspawn were and are - a larval stage built solely for learning how to destroy its foes. It is considered a right of passage for a demonspawn to slay many foes before it transcending into adulthood - into a dragon.

It was this internal drive for growing up - even before it had tasted its first meal - that drove the demonspawn to then discard Necrotyc's shin and instead charge for Rob's back, biting it viciously once he had reached it.

Necrotyc took the opportunity of having but a third of his previous weight to steady himself. The demonspawn still attached to his left shin, very content with gnawing away at the bone (which Necrotyc thought must have cracked by now) failed to realize that its target had recovered. The beast didn't even have time to experience surprise as Necrotyc's sword sliced cut deep into its head, severing the two halves of its brain and killing it instantly. He drew his sword out of the beast slowly, drawing one edge along the side of the skull so as to prevent too much grey matter coming out of the head with the blade. Necrotyc then raised his still-weighted leg to shake the demonspawn off. It fell off with ease - but not for the reason he might have expected it to, for his leg appeared to be missing from the knee down... Necrotyc promptly fell over, his skull cracking brutally on the ground as he did so, his world quickly turning black...

_________________________

Meanwhile, Val'Kaz was taking the time to position himself for 'maximum effect'. He largely wasted everybody's time through accomplishing very little, aside from giving a slight and infinitely depraved laugh when watching Rob's struggle with the broodmother. When the demonspawn attacked his back, however, Val'Kaz decided to fire up the 'ol hands and send a ball of flame at the creature, knocking it off cleanly but doing very little damage. It was at this time that the demonspawn Rob had slashed earlier noticed Val'Kaz, and began moving towards him with terrible intent.

Vermillion, the Rogue

Vermillion stabbed and stabbed and stabbed and stabbed, really fast. With the aide of Larquidos's Speed Monster spell he had achieved a state of calm transcendence. The spell had knocked him beyond mere frenzy and right out the other side. Panic and Anger and Fear amplified to the point that none could be discerned.

His daggers moved like muted drills, soundlessly stabbing repeatedly into the bloody gaping maw of their own infliction. His hands moved so fast, shook so greatly, that they simply disappeared from view amongst the motion blur. Blood splattered in slow motion, flecks landing across his face and helmet, soaking his hands, staining his implements of aggression.

The Rogue felt strangely detached.

->Ahhh... he is stabbing the dragon? Why is he stabbing the dragon, again, he asks? Vermillion would be saying this be a bad thinking light!<-

-->Do remember Tesonu's fly and the torture sessions he gave you? The Voice smirked as Vermillion shivered ...What I'll give you if you don't continue stabbing this dragon, makes that pall in comparison.<--

Vermillion gulped.

->He thinks that was it. Very well. He was stabbing dragon... good dragon don't flame him yes?<-

That was when a single sound cut through his trance-like detachment and brought everything home. A crack. A shatter. A crash. It stood out against the Keeper's beating heart and the distant shouts of people randomly distantly shouting.

It was the sound of several tonnes of ice cracking and falling and shattering under the sheer might of Drell's raging hateful gaze. It was the herald of his death. It was the sound of one angry dragon breaking free from his icy imprisonment and deciding that, perhaps, slaying every single creature in the realm in a murderous rampage was a good idea afterall.

Then he realised that he, Vermillion, was all alone on his own facing it.

"Vexy save him." He whimpered.

Drell's tail whipped around with the force of a bile demon falling several stories onto a chicken coup. It sent the rogue flying, flailing. He slammed into the Magic Door damaging him and it. There was a rogue-shaped imprint left in the front from the impact.

"SOMEBODY HEEEEEELP THE POOR ROGUEY! HE DOESN'T WANT TO DIE!!"

With the last vestiges of his Speed Monster, he shot to his feet and fled hurtling out into the Lair. If there was one skill Vermillion had ever perfected, it was running.

Drell was so enraged at the impudent being that would challenge it that he lumbered ineffectively after the Rogue and away from the Dungeon Heart, all the while spouting billowing balls of fire.


Asifet continued his readings of "Ye Guide to Archaik Magickes: Healings".

After having waited in the Guard Room while others were dealing with... or attempting to deal with Drell, Skios got up. As he was in need of a bit of a patch up, he went to the Hatchery for some food. Before that, he spoke to Krua:

"Sis, you stay close to the others. Watch out for the Dragon. I will go to the Hatchery."

The Hatchery felt oddly serene, with its resident chickens clucking around unassumingly, as they always do. One would nearly forget that one, two rooms further, there's a massive dragon threatening the existence of just about everything else in the dungeon. The peaceful nature of the Hatchery was briefly disturbed by Skios brutalizing two of the chickens before eating them. Shortly after that, the peace was disturbed again by a high pitched shriek that sounded like it came from the general direction of where the heart chamber and Dragon were compared to the Hatchery. Certainly the fight was going very well.

Skios then turned towards the Lair. As the door between the Hatchery and Lair opened, he watched as a human was racing by through the lair. And following him from the corridor was the Dragon.

"Oh, you son of a..."

In the meantime, Krua was watching as a lunatic human was hacking away at the Dragon at high speed. It seemed like an unusually uninteresting sight.

Summary: Skios went to the Hatchery to eat and then entered the Lair. Krua is in the Training Room.

Asifet

The warlock prowled through the pages of his ancient Heal tome with the art of a jaguar, pouncing instantaneous on even the slightest bit of new and fresh information. The book would surrender its secrets and then, then he would move onto another, and if necessary another. Not without a few breaks to continue training of course.

\\Ahhh... excellent. I must acquire this spell at some stage. It would be of great use.//

Asifet briefly cross-checked some facts with other books he pulled from their shelves before turning back to "Ye Guide to Archaik Magickes: Healings."

\\So Keepers cannot use it on their own dungeon hearts, hmmm. That IS a shame.//

Asifet researched for a while longer, before going for a quick nap and little more chicken to eat.

After filling up again it was time to get back to his activities in the Training Room, and he did just that, executing a new offensive against the dummies of the far away training room.

Vermillion, the Rogue

Vermillion ran out into the lair, trapped in his own personal nightmare. Grisly and gruesome images flickered behind his eyes as he considered his likely fate.

Meanwhile behind him, Drell loomed at the room's entrance, lumbering along attempting to deliver his impotent fury upon the impudent vermin which had challenged him. He billowed fire angrily, setting fire to the carpet.

->Fire, fire, fire! The thing will flamey him and eatsy him!<-

Drell waddled though the patch of fire, which had the beneficial effect of cauterizing his open gaping wound as well as melting away the lingering last of the ice. Vermillion backed away as it bore down on him.

The Voice seemed to have deserted him, though in his mind he could hear the distant screams of an extremely pissed off individual who had stormed out.

The rogue swivelled, looking for a way out. The room behind him was a dead-end - he could sense it with his Sight ability.

->Two doors, two doors. He sees the present, but what is inside? Nasty things. Sharp things. Scorching Things. Be careful, pick well or Vermsy, you are a goner!<-

He reached out with his Sight. Behind them... a Hatchery and a Prison...

->Home is where the Prison is<- Vermillion panicked and pelted towards it.

The Braced Door had other ideas. The door had seen its comrades killed at the hands of the Dragon. They had given their lives in a vain attempt to save Keeper Larquidos.

Vermillion was not Keeper Larquidos, however, and this particular door was rather fond of life. It was shaking in its grove. If this rogue was allowed through the dragon would batter through even impenetrable rock to follow him. At any rate, the door had heard bad things of Vermillion from the dummies in the Training Room.

Tough luck, buddy. You're on your own.

The rogue was oblivious of all this... he pelted straight to the unbudging door. It hurt.

"Waaaaaah? Doors, they do not lock themselves. Vermsy, he thinking this is not the time for pranks, Keeper!!!"

Vermillion pressed himself back against the door as the ungainly dragon closed in. It had him trapped now, and it was savouring the kill. He could have sworn the door itself was shaking, but he was too busy trembling himself to be sure. His legs gave way and he felt himself slip down to the floor. But as he was cowering, huddled against the door he saw an opening that filled him with hope...

The door to the Hatchery was open, and silhouetted against the more brightly lit room was a spider.

-->Watch the Dragon, you idiot! ROLL!<--

The warning was brilliantly-timed and marked the Voice's return to the Operations Room in the rogue's head. The warning was also forceful enough that Vermillion didn't ask questions, which was fortunate because otherwise he would have been little more than a charred pile of ashes - something charred at any rate.

The door wasn't so lucky, and was now noticeably worse for wear.

->LEG IT!<-

Vermillion was very tired and exerted by now, but he found the reserves to sprint across the length of the lair. The Dragon started after him, further enraged, but it couldn't hope to keep up. He dived past Skios and into the Hatchery.

He slumped against the wall and snagged two chickens on his dagger, taking a moments rest and replenishing his health and energy to a small degree...

There was not much Skios could do than watch as Vermillion was trying to get away from the Dragon chasing him, and failed to get through the door on the opposite side. Skios then sidestepped to the right when Vermillion dove past him into the Hatchery.

The door then shut behind him, and Drell set its sights on him. There was no one else around; all others were either slacking in the Training Room, the Hatchery, or they were elsewhere entirely.

Skios ran to the next exit to the right, which is where the Combat Pit is located; Drell was chasing him, even if only slowly. Everything was now set for a one-on-one fight between the two creatures.

However, Skios didn't plan to fight it. Jumping right into an Elder Dragon's face alone does not lend a very good chance of survival. All he could do is let it run circles around the combat pit until something else happened.

So that's exactly what he did: run to the other end of the Combat Pit.

"Hey, you think you can catch me? I bet you can't."

The taunting only enraged Drell more. However, it still had no hopes of even getting close to Skios. And so a long stallwar was going to start...

Summary: Skios got Drell after him, ran to the Combat Pit, and is now running circles around the Combat Pit with Drell following him.

Asifet & Vermillion

The warlock danced a deadly dance across the training room, impaling, stabbing, slashing with his staff. He refused to yield to tradition. Why should a warlock have to be helpless in melee? He would forge a new path for magic users, and he would become more powerful than any of the stubborn traditionalists.

\\Let them come, let them pit themselves against me, let them fall - for I will hold steadfast against the lot of them! Yes... let them fall.//

Asifet knew he had yet to greet his new Keeper, but there was little rush. He would do it when he wasn't working. After all, its not like there was a marauding dragon around or anything like that, god forbid!


Vermillion still felt a bit weak. The cumulative experiences of mental torture, manic exhaustion and running the hell away from Drell had drained him. He would need to sleep after this, big time. In the meanwhile, however, he made do with another chicken. It was a bit on the scrawny side but he felt a little better.

->Is dragon coming, he wonders? Vermsy astutely notes the door is intact.<-

The Rogue again reached out with his Sight, feeling his way through the lair. No-one was there. He crept towards the door which opened a little too loudly for his likes.

"Shhhh... Quiet, door. Vermillion is trying to be sneakful," he berated it in a hiss.

-->I doubt the door understands you.<--

Unbeknownst to the Voice, and Vermillion, the door did. Nobody knew this, of course. Well... nobody barring one minor historical exception. A mad monk named Oakbrough who wrote a rambling book called "The Secret Life of Doors."

Sorry. Just a bit jittery, these days, what with Dragons rampaging around! But what Bruce there did was inexcusable... coward... I'll be reporting him, mark my words.

If it was possible, the other door across the way, 'Bruce', suddenly looked rather sheepish. Vermillion stepped cautiously into the Lair. Smoke still hung in the air, making his eyes water. No dragon. He checked the roof. Still no dragon.

->He was happier knowing where it was.<-

He reached out again, and found it. It was in the adjacent Combat Pit chasing the Skios. It was so irritated he could gauge its mood through Sight, its body chemistry frothing like a boiling kettle.

->Woaah! If it was any more angry... Vermillion, he could toast rats in its gaze. He wonders what spidey said.<-

The Voice and Vermillion had a rare moment of shared purpose.

-->I have an idea... ...and Vermsy approves<-

The rogue waited until the Dragon again passed in front of the open doorway between the Combat Pit and the Lair. He shoulder-charged the great behemoth, exploding into the room. Normally this would have resulted in him bouncing away and being incinerated in short order, but Drell had only one responsive leg, and as soon as he was knocked off his centre of balance he had no hope of steadying himself.

Vermillion threw himself at the dragon. Drell teetered... and teetered... and teetered some more... and he fell, sideways, into the pit. In any other circumstances the dragon's brief one-legged balancing act might have been humorous, but Drell let loose a great roar as he toppled. It made the rogue's hair stand on end.

Vermillion kicked off the falling Drell and landed on his back, reasonably safely, beside the pit. He groaned.

The dragon managed to return to his feet, but quickly found himself at the bottom of the combat pit. He let loose a great bellow of challenge and paced around the enclosure's limits like a trapped animal... though perhaps one that can rant.

The rogue shivered and then nodded to Skios.

"What is they going to do, Spider? Is Keeper sending reinforcements?"

The runaway tactic by Skios went on for a little more time, when Vermillion came in and managed to catch Drell off guard and pushed him in the Combat Pit.

"What is they going to do, Spider? Is Keeper sending reinforcements?""

"I dunno what the Keeper is going to do. Keeper can do whatever he wants with the Dragon now that it's trapped down there. I'll just leave it."

Skios left the room. He walked back to the Training Room, where he reunited with Krua.

"The Dragon is dealt with. Let's go sleep, I'm getting tired of this and I feel there's more fighting to be done."

The Spider twins went back to their Lairs. It was now mostly quiet, other than something which sounded like a very angry dragon roaring around.

"...is that..."

"Yeah, that's the Dragon. It fell down into a pit, and it's now stuck there. Do not mind it."

They both then started sleeping.

Drell had been mislead.

Originally intent on destroying the heart of the malicious Keeper Larquidos, he had let his rage consume him, instead following the impudent rogue which had been brave enough to stab him, him! An ancient dragon, powerful beyond reckoning. When the rogue escaped his clutches, he had felt a rage so potent, simply frying a foe at range was insufficient. He needed to feel flesh rend under the impossible sharpness of his claws. He needed to feast on flesh - and spider flesh, he decided, would do. And thus, his rage induced tangent lead him in circles around the combat pit and, eventually, with the 'aid' of perhaps the most arrogant rogue in the history of Heavenarius, into the pit itself.

Toppling into the pit was painful. On the way down, he had injured his good leg in his failed attempt to balance himself. He was furious, and paced the length of the pit, for a time, brooding on his anger and devising a plan to escape the clutches of the pit. He knew that the significant height difference between the pit and its outskirts, in conjunction with his bad leg and the northern western gateway, or entrance to the pit proper, being too small for his vast stature, would prevent him from escaping the pit in a more traditional manner. Larquidos' combat pit, however, was of poor quality. It had never been used, and, to Drell's advantage, was predominantly made of wood. And if there's one thing dragons are good at, its torching things. And so the dragon formulated his escape - he would simply burn the outskirts of the pit to ash, causing it to collapse and, in the process, provide him with a slope which he could climb to get out.

He began the process with a hint of magic. He called upon the magical ley-lines which criss crossed his ancient home, which he had had many centuries to become very intimate with, to materialize a ball of molten earth within his throat. He then began to coat this earth, which was to be the core of his meteor, with liquid fire from his own home made fire stomach. When the meteor had achieved a significant size - about the size of the head of the rogue, who Drell could not believe was still watching the spectacle - he fired it off towards the western side of the combat pit, immediately igniting the western edge and causing flames to rapidly spread in all directions, singing the rogue and creating billows of black smoke which obscured vision throughout the room.

Drell then began to pace around the room, breathing fire on the southern, eastern and northern edges of the pit, and then returning to the western edge to wait for the flames to burn the wall to a degree which he could begin to climb, whilst simultaneously standing in the flames, raising his body temperature and, if he became hot enough, preventing frost taking hold of his body once more. He was getting out. And once he was free, he would go after Larquidos' heart - and nothing would stop him. Not a rogue. Not a spider. Not a god-forsaken avatar.
Larquidos would die for intruding on his sacred lair.
Larquidos, and all his lackeys.

Vermillion, the Rogue

Vermillion intently listened to the spiders response.

->Vermsy, he is surprised. It is that easy? He can leave the dragon to rot? The Verms thinks things might be going alright for once!<-

The Rogue leaned over the outside of the pit hesitantly to look down at the angry, angry dragon.

"He wouldn't want to be down there, he is sure!"

He turned around, only to find the spider had already left. He turned back only to see a ball of fire arching towards him, or at least in his general direction. Vermillion didn't like fire aimed in his general direction. He didn't like it at all really, but he could tolerate it as long as it wasn't aimed anywhere near him.

The Rogue tried to run, scrambling away from the edge of the pit, but it was too little too late. The Meteor struck and ignited the western retaining wall, flame spreading like pandemic among the dried-out timber planks. The was an ominous, carrying creak from beneath him, but it didn't give way... yet.

Unfortunately his eyebrows got singed and his trousers got caught by the fire, and turned out to be very flammable, bursting into brilliant streaks.

Billowing, black smoke began to fill the room and Vermillion had trouble trying get out. Slamming into several walls and almost falling into the pit. His yelps were muffled by the smoke. Eventually, however, he burst out from the dark choking smog and into the somewhat rank, but still fresher, air of the lair. And when he did he was screaming.

Flame trailed behind him like a fire torch being waved around, as he careered across the Lair with no apparent direction.

"KEEeeEEEPER!"

-->Oh god... I'm not with me.<--

Vermillion dropped to the ground and tried rolling around to put his flaming pants out. It only set the carpet on fire. A logical person would have next tried that hatchery's dirt floor, but the Voice was out right now - dying of shame. Instead Vermillion ran for the nearest source of liquid to quench the fire. This is not what any sane, cognitive person would do, because the only liquid other than lava in Crystalbarrow is... Alcohol. Which is, of course, flammable.

"What does he do? What does he do? What does Versmy DO?"

Vermillion bolted for the Casino and, in an attempt to put out the fire, poured alcohol over his lap. Bad move... Poof.

Ivan

Ivan stayed on the ceiling as he watched a rogue get chased by Drell. It was only when he saw Drell get trapped in the Combat Pit is when Ivan moved into action. Mustering up his stamina, Ivan started weaving a web trap with his most thickest webs, making a 'tripwire' at the Combat Pit's door, and connected it to a large net of web that was stationed right outside of the Combat Pit. Making sure that it'll certainly keep Drell preoccupied by making it have multiple layers, each thick as the last. It took Ivan a good bit of time as he made his 'trap', and made his abdomen start to hurt. He finally finishes it, and creeps onto the ceiling, making himself somewhat hidden by the dark corners of the ceiling.

Rob

Rob growls out when he feels a burning sensation on his back as the warlock threw a fireball at the Demon Spawn on his back. But he decided to ignore it as he felt the Dragon Mother try to turn her head at Rob. Rob, being the undead husk of muscle he is, slams her head back against the wall... And continues to slam her head against the wall, making the wall visibly crack with each sickening hit. Finally, the Dragon Mother wretched free from Rob's death grip and breathed her flame breath upon him.
The flames engulf Rob...

Only after the flames faded, Rob still stood, his body sparkling strange runes. He looked almost untouched, but still burnt slightly from the fire. Enraged, Rob threw himself at the Dragon once again, and grabs hold of her right wing. As he did that, she bit Rob's arm, making a loud 'CLANG' sound, and the cracking of teeth. Ignoring the Dragon's attempt to bite him, he starts to tug at the wing, tugging, tugging... With each tug, she kept biting him at different body parts, leg, neck, hand... Till he finally done it, with a almighty loud crunch, Rob tears the Dragon's wing out, making it possibly roar out in pain.

Rob tosses the wing aside, and the most terrifying laugh echoed from his raspy, undead throat.
"Scream." Rob said as his undead face smiled.

Asifet

Asifet decided it was finally about time that he introduced himself to Keeper Larquidos. He finished up his research of the Heal spell and finally started his journey across the Keeper's domain.

It was a long walk, made all the more difficult by what the Warlock felt to be muddled and chaotic dungeon design. As he got closer, however, he became apprehensive as he passed through the field of destroyed traps and the remains of what were once Braced Doors.

\\It looks as if our Keeper has had a bit of trouble lately.//

As Asifet reached the Magic Door guarding the dungeon's inner sanctum too appeared to be damages. More disturbingly it appeared to have a humanoid-shaped indent on it.

\\Ouch... something is most definitively amiss.//

Asifet passed through and introduced himself, finally, to the Keeper.

"Greetings great Keeper, I am Asifet. I am also somewhat... unconventional. I believe in fighting from the frontlines, fostering speed and surprise and most importantly... not cowering behind the lines and throwing spells for there is little glory or skill in that. Apply spells where spells a most beneficial... less chance of missing at any rate and if you do, disembowelment is not out of the picture. I seek to join your employ."

The warlock added an addendum to his speech.

"If you don't mind my observation... things appear to be somewhat... hectic around here. If you need deploy me, I am ready to engage whatever challenge you set me."

As Asifet was about to turn and walk out, however, an ungodly yelp of pain accompanied by a 'fooosh' was heard. A Rogue came running out of the Casino completely engulfed in fire and screaming for dear life. He disappeared out the Magic door behind the warlock.

"Ahhh... more than ready."

Puzzled, Asifet turned tail and exited the room. First he went to the lair and reset up his bedding arrangements in this part of the dungeon. Next he had something to eat. and then began his next training session.

Dranton, the Beetle & Xerina, the Dark Elf

<Recap>
The mighty dragon unleashed a magic Word of Power, swiping everyone in the room off their feet. As Xerina was unfortunate enough to have hightened senses, she was left temporarily deaf, as the only thing she could hear was the ringing in her eardrums. The spell also left her lying on the floor stunned, in a semi-conscious state. Needless to say, it was Dranton who recovered first.

When Dranton got back on his feet most of Larquidos' minions already left the room and went after the dragon. He noticed his shell was actually cracked by dragon's powerfull, magical roar. He then concentrated on regenerating his shell for a while.

"That should do it, I guess.", Dranton thought and proceeded north, following Drell's path of destruction.


<Present>
He reached the intersection and saw a rogue run past him with his pants on fire.

"I don't like the look of this...", Dranton thought and proceeded east, where the rogue came from.

When he got inside the Lair he saw the next room engulfed in flames. That's when his fear of fire started to kick in.

"Oh, Dark Gods! Have you abandoned us!?", he said and started crawling backwards.

It was one thing to fight a subdued dragon, but this? A machine of destruction at his full strength!? It was too much for Dranton, who tried to think of what action to take next, only to find his thoughts obstructed by the intense fear he felt.


Xerina finally came back to her senses and stried to get up, leaning on a Training Room wall for support. She felt intense pain in her abdomen and soon realized several of her ribs were broken. While her hearing have returned, the ringing was still there, only not as loud as before.

"What hath happened?", she thought, "Where hath the Dragon gone?".

She soon noticed the carnage Drell left behind and followed his trail. The path of destruction seemed to end with the damaged door to the Dungeon Heart, which seemed to have a human-shaped inprint in them. She then noticed some blood on the ground. There seemed to be several drops of blood here and there (from the wound on Drell's right leg), making a trail leading east. She followed this trail and, after entering the Lair, saw flames and smoke coming from the east. She pulled a bolt out of her quiver and reloaded her crossbow.

"Here we go again...", she thought.


--Dranton and Xerina followed Drell's trail to the Lair, where they saw Drell torching the Combat Pit. Xerina's preparing for battle, while Dranton cowers in fear.

Voice-in-his-Head, the Rogue?

Vermillion darted out of the Casino and through the Dungeon Heart, trailing tendrils of fire. While part of him was screaming, another part was calmly and carefully analysing the situation and looking for a solution... the Voice.

It was actually a decently hard puzzle. Crystalbarrow had no water... and there wasn't any in the dungeon. The hatchery floor may have worked, but then his ignoramus of a counterpart decided to liberally douse himself with alcohol. It wouldn't be enough.

->We need water, and there is none... or is there? The plunge pools...<-

Meanwhile, surface Vermillion ran past Dranton out into the treasury and across into the hatchery. Voice gave the hysterical rogue a mental jab from his fortress of will, a domain he had eeked out over the years towards the back half of Vermillion's brain. Every year he expanded a little, claiming more for himself but the unfortunate reality was that he still occupied less than a pinhead of brain-matter.

->At least I know how to use it!<- he speculated idlely while he issued his commands on a different brainwave frequency.

-->Listen, you fool... I have a solution for our woes if you would stop your idiotic pointless fussing and listen to me!<--

Surface Vermillion answered in an angry, panicked fashion.

->You wants him to sit down calmly and burn to death? Vermsy, he says no! It was you fault he is burning and NOW.... now HE IS BURNING!<-

-->Shut up and head for the torture chamber!<--

->No! You think him a fool? Vermsy, that he is not!<-

-->NOW!<--

->NO, HE WILL NOT!!<-

Voice smirked gleefully inside his little patch of brain-sweet-brain, withdrawing, preparing to deliver another hot poker's worth of pure anguish and pain.

A minute later, Vermillion did leave the hatchery, running and screaming across the lair. He wasn't running from the fire which engulfed his person... no... he was running from something else. After a full minute of mental impasse, both of them standing calmly locked in confrontation and coincidentally ignoring the fact they were on fire, Voice delivered his payload. It hurt. Vermillion hated fire, but not quite as much as he hated pain... this pain was far superior.

As quickly as he appeared in the lair, he disappeared out the other-side... and this time the Braced Door known to his colleagues as 'Bruce' didn't stop him.

He ran through the Prison and dived into the plunge pool used for water torture, submerging himself entirely. He cowered at the bottom. He thought he saw a severed finger float past him but he ignored it determinedly.

-->Now, was that so hard?<--

Vermillion quivered as the 'Voicey' announced its presence, but then suddenly remembered he had to breath. He resurfaced gasping, and discovered his trousers in tatters and his breastplate and helmet blackened.

"He hates his life... Vermsy misses Northland, he does."

As Vermillion slinked out to rejoin the coalition of fighters, drenched and lacking attire, Voice wasn't at all embarrassed for once. He was too busy feeling the gleeful glow of having inflicted great pain on his host... because Vermillion's 'Voice-in-his-Head' was not a split personality at all, but in fact, a very small leech which had found itself displaced... and attained a degree of intelligence as a result. The world's smartest leech. Voice gave a cliché chuckle and tenderly stroked the nerve cell it had reattached itself onto recently.

DRELL-BATTLE REPORT (NOT COMPLETE)

LEVEL 10 DRAGON (Drell) STILL AT 90% HEALTH <RIGHT LEG KAPUT, LEFT LEG HURT, KICKING UP A FUSS IN COMBAT PIT>

Searingflame2
October 7th, 2011, 07:57
The fire had done its work.
The once dry timbers which composed of the Combat Pit's rim were now nothing more than powdery ash and burning hot charcoal. Though this worked in Drell's favor, his injured leg still prevented him from escaping the combat pit immediately.
He moved out of the baking flames nearest the door to the northern edge of the pit, before turning to face south. His wings, although relatively stumpy and awkward compared to those of a bird, were still useful. He began to move them back and forth rapidly, the thin membranes creating gusts of air as the sinews which attached them to the wing moved. This caused billows of smoke, ash and charcoal to move towards the door of the room.
Drell continued the rapid flapping movement as he walked painfully and awkwardly around the pit, slowly turning himself so he - and the gust of ash and debris from his wings - always faced the door.

By the time Drell had completed almost a full circle of the pit, there was a very significant mountain of ash at the door's edge, with a nice and steady slope leading up into the adjacent lair, which was largely obscured by thick webbing, no doubt the work of a foul spider.

Drell took a ginger step onto the edge of the fire-induced mountain and was worried to notice that his foot essentially sunk to the bottom of pile. He took another step - this time with his injured leg - and similarly, the foot plunged deep into the ash, providing little support. In conjunction, ash got into the open wound of his leg, and the pain was utterly excruciating. He attempted to call upon healing magics, and whilst they were eventually summoned, they did not come readily as he would have expected, and had scant effect - the wound on his right leg was not as deep as it had been a moment before, but it was still open, and weeping blood and plasma.
He knew he ought to cauterize the wound, so with a quick surge of heat from his belly, a great gust of flame erupted from his gaping maw and onto his flesh, burning the blood and causing it to clot, and killing a multitude of cells - both his own, and bacteria foolish enough to colonize on the painful series of gashes.

He then proceeded up the slope. With each step, the mountain of debris gave a concerning degree of way. He disregarded this fact and proceeded up the mountain, and turned his attention towards the spider's silk.
Unfortunately for Larquidos, spider's silk does poorly in the presence of heat. So, it was with a single blast of a meteor from Drell's being that Ivan's silk tripwire was ruined. The silk remained, but lacked any kind of integrity it had but a moment before.

Drell continued up the ash mountain, and soon found himself at its peak, and ready to step into the lair. The mountain had supported his weight after all, presumably because the charred timbers which originally occupied the space were more able to support his weight than the ash from the rest of the pit. Well and truly past the point of being 'Mr Nice Guy', Drell began a jet of flame from his stomach which erupted violently from his mouth and projected forward, whilst simultaneously he began beating his membranous wings once more. This created a great torrent of fire and heat around the dragon, as he rather casually began to stomp forward to the center of the lair, fully intent on reaching Larquidos' heart once and for all, and fully sure that none of his minions would be impudent enough to attack an ancient dragon with a shield of almighty flame.

Drell has escaped the combat pit, and is now in the center of the lair and is surrounded by a self-sustained shield of flame.

Health: 88% (Cauterized wound, which was a painful process, but his leg ain't so bad anymore).

The presence of heat, fire and a gigantic freaking Elder Dragon not far away from them didn't go unnoticed to the Spider twins, who both woke up and spotted the Dragon in the middle of the room, covered in a sphere of its own flames.

"Oh, hell..."

Their first instinct was to cloak themselves and get away from Drell. They most certainly weren't going to be up against the Dragon by themselves, especially as the Dragon was still pretty much kickin' after all it had already been through.

Then, in their invisibility, they spotted Dranton, Xerina and Vermillion, and joined up with them. Skios uncloaked himself, revealing himself to the others.

"So, have you guys got a plan to deal with... him?"

Vermillion, the 'Unsightly' Rogue

Vermillion expectantly watched the Beetle and the Dark Elf, looking dejected and withdrawn. He hadn't been having a particularly good day. He was utterly drenched, a good portion of his worldly possessions were burnt (worldly possessions mean everything to any self-respecting Rogue) and he felt somewhat exposed without his trousers. That was only the start. It was not a good day for the Rogue.

->He should have not gotten embroiled in this Dragon-y business. Too dangerous. Too painful. He hates the Voice-in-his-Head and he HATES the Dragon! Couldnst they just go hurt each other and leave poor Vermsy alone!?<-

The Voice did a double-take. Could it be...

->So simple, yet so brilliant? The glittering gem in the stinking dung-heap. Why hang with this pathetic wretch when I could have a glorious, nigh-invincible, reptilian form? Drell, here I come!!<-

Far within the depths of Vermillion's brain, a leech began to wiggle and writhe, detaching itself from its mooring and making for the nearest point of egress.

The Rogue thumped himself on the head.

->Vermillion bids you shut it and stop wriggling, angry voice!<-

He got no response, but on the night before Christmas all was not silent. The slimy creature oozed out of his ear, struggling against thick tangled thickets of ear-hair, and surveyed a brave new world.

Vermillion never noticed that his ear lobe had a new friend, because his attention was diverted by Drell's impressive entrance.

He was further diverted by the arrival of the two spiders, noticing them with Sight even before Skios uncloaked. He eyed Krua suspiciously, still being invisible near him, but was quickly drawn back to the issue at hand... or perhaps dragon at hand.

Meanwhile, the leech perched on his ear preened itself whilst keeping an eye on the situation... readying itself to jump ship.

"So, have you guys got a plan to deal with... him?"

"Vermsy, if it were just him, he would suggest run... but they will never escape this thing. He knows that, and he gets the feeling the Keeper would not want that. He goes and says kill it. Perhaps they may lead it back to whatever impure tainted plain from whence it came else knock it into the portal of entrances?"

Vermillion, turned to eyeball the great behemoth baring down on them across the length of the Lair.

"How is the dragon's sense of direction... could a withdraw be staged towards some other destroyed dungeon heart, in mocking retreat, tricksying it into thinking that their Keeper is dead?" he whispered quickly.

Larquidos was beginning to tire with the slow progress his minions were taking in the south - if his attempt at extortion was to succeed, he knew that he would probably need some legitimate leverage, and wouldn't be able to simply bluff himself out of any impending-doom scenario. He made a note of the newcomer warlock, Asifer, who 'til now had made himself useful, either training or researching. Larquidos had no problem with this effort - none at all - but it wouldn't quite do given his current predicament.

As such, he decided it was time to address the warlock.

"Welcome, Asifet. You seem to have made good use of yourself thus far - I appreciate that. But," he spoke whilst lifting the warlock into his hand, "I require your services elsewhere." Despite his best effort at being reasonably polite so as to ensure the loyalty of his new minion, he didn't quit keep the sarcasm out of his voice, potentially sending mixed signals to the warlock.

He promptly dropped the warstaff wielding robed man on the Larquidian tile nearest to Drell's brood mate, and promptly cast a moderate duration of speed monster on the warlock. He then issued orders to the man, informing him that he was to do whatever he could to turn the tide of battle against the dragoness and her beastly children, whilst preferably keeping at least two of the draconian beings alive.

No sooner was he done issuing these orders before he began directing the minions still within his base.
"Minions, given your feebleness, I don't anticipate that you'll be able to do much damage to a flaming vortex of hate, but you can slow it down! Please do anything you can, including using yours bodies as shields for your loving keeper's heart." As always, his words we laced with equal parts passive-agressivity and legitimate demands, but he more than expected the demands to be carried out, even though Drell had, by now, exited the lair.

Summary: Asifet was dropped near the broodling fight and "speed monster'd" and Larquidos requested human shields.

Dragon Brood Status as a recap.
Drell: 88%, still slightly crippled. Located in the corridor slightly south east of Larquidos' heart.
Broodmother: 40%, with a ripped off right wing. Engaged with Rob.
Demonspawn #1: Dead, slain by Necrotyc
Demonspawn#2 Presumed dead by now, brutally slashed by Lucien
Demonspawns #3 and 4: Charging after Val'Kaz, on 95% and 70% respectively.

Asifet -
The Aggressor

Asifet was in the middle of his training session in the combat room located beyond the northern bank of the great lava lake. He was already sweating, deep in concentration, when Keeper Larquidos addressed him.

"Welcome, Asifet. You seem to have made good use of yourself thus far - I appreciate that. But I require your services elsewhere."

He spoke with an air of impatience and enforced politeness. The warlock could see he was a being of the moment, a creature of action, a strong Keeper. He respected that. Strong Keepers respected strength. Strong Keepers never gave in without a fight. Politeness, Civility? They have their uses and Asifet believed in them too.

"As is your will, your will I shall enforce."

The Warlock gave a short, precise bow - and found himself dropped in the middle of a combat zone.

Asifet immediately leapt to his feet, springing into the fray with a strike aimed at one of the Demon Spawn chasing Val'kaz. It was a powerful blow with the skewering end of his warlock staff, backed up by the full force of gravity. Unfortunately, it didn't make contact with anything save the floor... but it wasn't meant to. The blow merely sought to distract the third demon spawn and cause it to change targets.

\\Perfect.//

The creature almost tripped over itself in its overeagerness for blood, and went skidding for a meter or so before it found its feet, coming at him for an different angle. The young demon spawn's over-excitement served to make it all the more unpredictable.

Only just here, and so much prey!! Oh boy, oh boy!!

Fortunately, Speed Monster now kicked in and Asifet easily kept the charging creature at bay with well-timed slashes of his staff, forcing it to abort its attempt on him. It continued to exhibit a complete lack of finesse, and a recklessness of one who doesn't yet understand what death is. Asifet didn't commit, studying his opponent, searching for its weaknesses.

\\The foolish creature thinks this is a game!//

Demon Spawn number 3 watched the whirling blades, young semi-developed eyes darting in an attempt to follow the blurs of steel. He saw an opening, ducking under their next pass and surging forward. His teeth raked the human's inner leg. The creature tasted blood trickle into its mouth. Sweet blood.

Before the creature could exploit its gap any further, though, Asifet was gone. The warlock was toying with it. It peered before itself vainly, but suddenly there was flash of red and gold in its peripheral vision.

The baby panicked, rearing around, but it was too late. Pain arced across its young mind as its tail was severed, impacting the floor with a bloody splat. It yelped in anger and fear. It would be more wary now.

Asifet went into full offensive now, forcing it back with impaling blows which caused small plumes of dust as they struck the tunnel floor. It didn't know what to do, but instinct counted for something and it lunged at his staff, intending to snap it between its jaws just above where the offending blade adjoined it. Skill, training and experience counted for more, however, and the demon spawn leapt at nothing but air.

The warlock withdrew his staff and seemlessly transitioned from stabbing to slashing again, withdrawing and repositioning in a blink. A machete-blade swung down sideways like a pendulum, arcing towards the space where his staff had been yet seconds before. It barely escaped the unconventional guillotine.

\\Your play...// Asifet smirked just as the Keeper's Speed spell wore off.

The demon spawn growled deeply. It might have grown up to be an impressive specimen some day, but Asifet was here to make sure it never got that chance. The demon spawn had other ideas naturally. It was tired of these tricks and feints and it wanted nothing more to do with them.

The creature charged recklessly, ignoring the scything blades and coping extensive injuries. It kept going though, lunging at the warlock's other leg and clamping down on it, tearing off a chunk of flesh before he could even react. Asifet found himself knocked to the ground. Claws left bloody gashes across his skin.

Asifet struck back, stabbing down his body at the creature, goring the back of its throat and pushing it back off him with the blade's hilt. He kicked it back further with his less-damaged leg, withdrawing his blade and knocking it to the ground where it did not stir, unconscious.

He hit it on the head with his magic orb to make sure it wouldn't be getting up any time soon and returned to his feet, supporting himself heavily on his staff as he surveyed the battle.

Val'Kaz watched at the two demonspawn approached him with hunger in their eyes. He noted quickly that he was, as the only fresh and untainted meat on the scene, the most likely being to be on the menu, a realization that would have put Sherlock Holmes to shame, given the spittle dripping from the green devils maws.

He took a brief moment after glancing at what he perceived to be but a minor threat to observe the local magics, and was and was pleased to note that they were rather powerful. He breathed in deeply, and with a simple chant, Val'Kaz found himself moving rapidly. He backed away from the two demon spawn with quick steps. The beasts gaping maws suggested that they were certain of the kill, and had only rip him to shreds to satisfy their stomachs - they had, after all, yet to have their first proper meal, and had no clue as to their strength in relation to the warlock's. He stepped back slowly, blasting each demon spawn in turn with balls of fire to deter them from leaping at him. But the deterrence wasn't enough, and the demon spawn on the right leaped at Val'Kaz's torso, emboldening the other to charge the warlock's legs.

The right demon spawn (#4) was still in the air when a loud metal-on-stone thunk was heard not far to Val'Kaz's left, the charging demon spawn halting mid stride and turning its attention towards the new foe. Val'Kaz, meanwhile, took the opportunity of not having to protect his legs to avoid the other demon spawn with a dramatic flair, pivoting on his right foot as he turned clockwise, with the green pest sailing past his left. He halted his pivot when he was facing the demon spawn and the wall and, with his speed empowering him, the beast appeared almost as if gravity was lacking its usual strength, giving him time to make his next act an interesting one. Val'Kaz took another deep breath, as he always did before casting magic, and took what seemed to be a reasonable stretch of time, but was really a fraction of a second, to create a larger than usual fireball. He then forced the ball of flame towards his opponent, still in mid air, and the force of the flaming ball projected the dragonling to the wall with alarming force, producing a loud thunk and a just audible crack when the collision occurred, leaving the baby sprawled on the floor, its body bent at an awkward angle near the midsection.

Val'Kaz took a moment to admire the motionless demon spawn on the ground before his speed left him. Unexpectedly, he felt suddenly felt quite dizzy and swayed from side to side, exhausted from the combat and use of magic. He was resting his head in his right palm, massaging his temple with his left hand, attempting to compose himself, when he took note of a loud roar from behind him and he turned to face the source of the noise. But it was too late - the brood mother had broken out of Rob's hold and, with the strength of anguish which only a mother can feel at the loss of her children, she conjured up a meteor so large, Val'Kaz thought it was probably larger than his head. He found out but a moment later that the meteor was not, in fact, as large as he thought, but the force of the rock and flame still hurtled him back against the wall, producing a heavy thunk and a slightly audible crack.
Val'Kaz thought he was experiencing profound Deja Vu as his writhed on the ground in agony, his left shoulder dislocated from the impact and his body brutally bruised.

Val'Kaz gave demon spawn #4 a good time before being blasted by the brood mother.

Demonspawn #4: 20%, unconscious, injured spine.

....~
......~The Vnsightly~


Vermillion picked himself up off the floor. He had been in the middle of conversing with the others, but Drell hadn't seemed content to wait for them to work themselves out. The Dragon steamrolled right past them, or in the Rogue's case, right over knocking him flat on his back. The inconsolable beast was already halfway to the Dungeon Heart.

"But wait beasty, they haven't done stopping you yet!" Vermillion called after it half-heartedly, panting to catch his breath.

The Rogue belatedly began to sprint after it. He dived after its retreating figure, locking his arms around its giant leg in an attempt to slow it down. Unfortunately, a rogue isn't much of a deadweight for an angry dragon. Vermillion misjudged the situation and found himself being pulled along after it at speed.

"Arrgghhh... Stop it, he says! Carpet burns, carpet burns... pain... his legs! HEEEEEEEELP!!"

But still, the Rogue determinedly clung on whimpering and wishing he was wearing a pair of trousers. Did nothing ever go right? A small bit of manoeuvring, however, and his legs were in the air behind him and his metal breastplate was taking the strain, kicking up sparks.

Meanwhile, the little leech perched on his outcropping ear saw chance look it in the eye. It scaled the scared left-side of Vermillion's face like a skilled rock-climber, navigating the crags of scar tissue with timing and confidence, its tail-sucker an asset. It was relying on the imbecile's preoccupation to mask its presence.

-->Drat... how did I not foresee this eventuality?<--

The Leech, formerly believed to be a construct of Vermillion's warped pysche, had reached the edge of the facial scaring left by a fireball ohhh-so-many years ago. No more 'hand-holds', though the term wasn't particularly appropriate.

It could sense the great void and the ground rushing by beneath. It would have to risk it. The Leech coiled like a spring, before leaping, barely securing a sucker grip on the Rogue's great nose.

Vermillion's eyes widened as something flashed past his face. He blinked rapidly, but it only made the image more unbelievable. There was a bloodsucker perched on his nose.

->Voicey, HELP HIMMMM!<-

No response was forthcoming.... the Voice had left the building.

The Voice clambered up Vermillion's nose. If leeches had hair, the Voice's would be dramatically whipping about right now.

-->You haven't seen the last of... the Voice of Leech! Bonn Voyage, you idiot.<--

It issued a parting comment to itself in its head, before stepping up to the mark, and diving off the end of his nose. The magical leech landed in Drell's now-cauterized leg wound and set to work with its multiple-layers of teeth, revving them up like a chainsaw, carving its way into the wound. The last anyone saw of it was a flick of its black slimy tail.

Vermillion had almost forgotten about the carpet burns and peeling skin of his legs... blocked out by the sheer weight of incomprehension which is often accompanied by nonsensical unexplained random events.

"...Vermsy confused."

The Voice wasn't. Any body was a better room-mate than Vermillion, but Drell was prime real estate. Voice knew exactly what it was going to do. It was going to tunnel up to Drell's brain and when it got there... when it got there it would incinerate that thick-headed weasel and everyone else in this realm out of spite. It would show them what a Leech could do!

Lucien and Rob the Black Knights :lord:

While the fight was progressing, Lucien was still cutting mercilessly upon the demonspawn before pausing. The demonspawn then looked up to the black knight and snarled, hissed and growled before being decapitated by a mighty sword strike, killing the demonspawn. That is one less!

Then he heard an evil, sickening laugh (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdQJY-S4zbU) that diverted his attention. The other Black Knight was mopping up the dragon, even tearing up a wing and laughing at it. A ruthless streak Lucien could not help but admire it.

Once Rob tossed the wing he tore off aside, he felt his body slowing down, his bones making loud snaps as he scowls. The Dragon Mother notices that Rob seems to be struggling, and smashes him upon the head with her tail, making a loud snap and the sound of glass breaking as Rob's 'Protect' faded. Rob was hit upon the head again, and was sent sprawling to the ground. The Dragon Mother then opened her mouth, ready to burn Rob into nothing.

Instead, the Dragon Mother changed her mind and wanted a piece, literally, out of Rob and lunged with her mouth and got on to something but it was not Rob, far from it, it was Lucien’s metal blade instead! Lucien saw that Rob’s body reached it’s limit and rushed to his comrade’s aid. Holding the blade on both the hilt and far end of the blade. In one quick motion, Lucien released one hand and grabbed a knife he had on his belt and stabbed right into the Dragon skull. Although clearly not enough to put her down, it did backed her down.

Lucien then turned to Rob and removed the visor of his own helmet, revealing a scarred face of depravity. Yet it can be said behind those eyes Lucien is cold and raging from the inside at the very same time. Lucien himself was intrigued by this fellow warrior, perhaps he could see some sort of connection?

http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/750/wolfducvolpe.png

Without saying a word, Lucien offered Rob a hand, who was still lying on the ground.

Rob stared at Lucien's hand, his long silver hair partially covering his undead and infected eye. A mere moment passes, Rob grabs Lucien's hand and, with Lucien's help, gets up easily. Rob gives a nod to Lucien, perhaps his way of expressing thanks due to his undead nature, then looks at the Dragon mother.

"...Got a plan?" Rob asked as he eye'd his axe that somehow got behind the Dragon Mother, the axe covered with blood that the axe seemed to be absorbing.
Lucien looked at Rob and replied on a grave tone: ''Going in for the kill'', and then closed his visor of the helm. Lucien gave a nod to Rob, as he noticed that Rob spotted his axe. Perhaps Lucien could distract the mother dragon for just a few seconds while Rob could seize his axe and deliver a deathblow. He could only hope that his ally actually caught the hint!

Rob raised a eye-brow when Lucien nodded at him and headed towards the dragon mother. It took Rob only a second to realize what Lucien planned to do as he walked to the Dragon Mother, who began to eye Lucien with ill-intend, her mouth blazing with fire. Taking this time, Rob began to move towards his legendary axe: but due to his slow speed, Lucien will have to distract the Dragon Mother a bit longer than he liked too do.

Summary:
Lucien killed a demonspawn and then protected an injured Rob from the Mother Dragon. Had their own way of ‘introduction’, and are now attacking the Mother Dragon.

Skios noticed Drell simply walking right past them, and right over Vermillion. Skios knew he had to think of a strategy quickly, because time was running short. The Dragon would be reaching the Dungeon Heart very soon. He needed to be delayed, if only briefly to save a bit of time.

He turned to Krua. She was getting tired of all the Freezes, but she could still get one more off.

"Sis, I need you to freeze him once more. Get as close as possible and freeze him point blank. Should stop him for long enough."

Krua ran forward, after Drell, still cloaked. About halfway into the corridor, she caught up to Drell. She put her front legs millimeters away from the Dragon, and then quickly transferred all ice energy into Drell. Drell was swiftly covered in a layer of ice again, stopping Drell - and by extension, Vermillion - dead in their tracks. This also caused her to uncloak.

But getting Drell frozen again was just part of Skios' plan. Skios decided to capitalize on Drell's leg wound. If there's one thing that would inflict more pain on Drell, it would be ripping open the cauterized wound again.

So the first thing Skios did after Drell was frozen was to tackle into Drell's lag, where the leg wound was, shattering the ice layer that protected it. He then clamped on to Drell's leg around the exposed wound, and bit in it. The rumors appeared to be true, Dragon blood really did taste like good stuff.

In the meantime, Krua backed off in the general direction of the lair. Her job was done for now.

Summary: Drell got frozen by Krua (again), and Skios uses the moment to attack Drell's weak point for mass--er, probably not much actual damage. It just hurts, is all.

Vermillion clung on desperately to Drell's leg, looking around for some form of escape or advantage. With his sight he saw Krua closing in, before uncloaking with the casting of a Freeze spell. Icey tendrils lanced out from the epicentre engulf both of their forms and bringing Drell to a standstill. He had a traumatic flash to being frozen in the middle of the library of Northland by Crystice, twice no less!

Unfortunately for Vermillion, whilst Drell stopped dead in his tracks, his momentum at being pulled along didn't disappear so easily and he found himself hurtling straight into the dragon's iced leg like a human battering ram. Eyes frozen wide, magnified by their frosty tomb looked forward with pleading fear.

->Nighty, night Vermsy.<-

The Rogue impacted shattering the ice around his head but making him blackout.

When he finally recovered Skios was on top of him, attacking Drell's leg wound, while little rats scampered around his head in dizzying circles.

"Raties... waaah, he has con-crushion," he moaned, lazily blinking.

Taking stock of his situation he realised that only his head was free of ice, and the rest of his body was still engulfed. He had only one weapon at his disposal, and so he took the Spider's example and started gnawing at the leg wound with his mouth. Soon blood started dribbled down his face, but he was determined.

Meanwhile, the leech lodged somewhere near the Dragon's stomach was impatiently raging at the unexplained freezing. The little tyke hated the cold, and for once was directly engulfed by it. In Vermillion he'd had the time to erect proper insulation around his abode, so even Crystice and the Northland Icelands had little effect on him. Here he was not so lucky. The tiny leech shivered amidst the body of frozen flesh.

Asifet -
The Aggressor

Asifet continued to survey the battle, leaning on his staff. All of the Demon Spawns had been dealt with, and now only the brood-mother was left. This was not a problem as the two black knights, Lucien and Rob, seemed to have it occupied and the warlock had faith they would together triumph over it.

\\And if they don't, I suspect I shall be the first to know.//

Instead of intervening in that fight, Asifet limped towards Val'kaz, wincing with the severe damage the Demon Spawn had inflicted to his legs. His part in the battle was likely over, and so to it looked was the other warlocks. Val'kaz had been knocked out, but was no longer threatened so it would seem. Asifet bent over him and checked his condition, establishing that he was probably fine.

"You're lucky it wasn't worse, you know!" he muttered to himself.

The battle-weary spell-caster returned to his feet, and once again turned his attention to the battle, watching the dark figures duel in the ember glow of the lava lake.

Drell trudged through the narrow hallways leading to the dungeon heart with an incredibly bold, or incomprehensibly stupid, rogue attached to his hulking leg. Drell wondered how the human could possibly bare the heat of his flaming whirlwind, but quickly decided that the rogue was an idiot. No doubt he had experienced past trauma from fire - his trousers were a testament to that fact. And the burns smelt fresh...

He turned the corner of the hallway sharply, and immediately noted his goal. The soft beating of the fleshy red mass in the bottom of a fancy pit made it seem so... vulnerable. This is what Drell came for. He would destroy the heart, and in doing so, remove the vile Larquidos from Crystalbarrow forever. He continued to march down the hallway, poorly 'carved' stone cracking under his tremendous mass. His damaged leg was terribly discomforting, the freshly cauterized wound weeping from where a leech had burrowed into it. He gave no thought to the intent of the leech, despite immediately recognizing it for what it was. He didn't live to be several thousand years old to be mind controlled by such a pathetic creature.

One foot in front of the other, Drell trudged on, his swirling mist of fire being maintained all the while. His hate of Larquidos had well and truly consumed him by this point. Before entering the heart chamber, he began summoning his magic, a molten ball of rock forming in his maw. He fired it at speed towards the decorated pillars surrounding the Keeper's heart, hoping for them to collapse. They did not, though he did notice but a slightly perceptible crack where the rock had impacted. He had begun charging another meteor when he was, quite abruptly, he felt a great cold wash over him, immediately quenching his flaming whirlwind and passing a thick layer of ice over his entire being.
Drell had, of course, anticipated this move, and whilst the searing heat of the blood in his veins began rapidly melting the ice which encased him, he was nevertheless detained. This fact became excruciating when he noticed a spider's fangs probing into his already reopened wound, traces of ineffectual neural toxin entering his bloodstream, his body long since becoming immune to the particular poison - Drell was, after all, no stranger to spiders. To add insult to injury, the idiot rogue on his limb seemed to have regained its senses, and was making its own pathetic attempt at attacking his poor, poor leg. Never mind them, he thought. As soon as my maw is free, they'll regret it. No sooner had the notion crossed his mind had the ice encasing his jaws melted sufficiently for him to open it, allowing correct enunciation of the word.

Yes, dear readers. That word.

An immense burst of energy exploded out from the dragon, shattering all remaining ice on his form and propelling the rogue and spider off his fleshy mass. In addition, the magic was well within the range of Larquidos' heart, which began beating faster in anticipation of the damage it was about to receive. The dragon immediately felt more weary from having cast the magic, but did not mind. He knew that it would be but a few minutes before his purpose was complete. Then, and only then, could he rest back in his home, with his wife and perhaps, he thought, his newborn children.

He shook his legs vigorously and let his wings gather a tuft of air before taking the last few steps to Larquidos' dungeon heart.

"Stop, Drell. I'm not your real enemy here. I only came to Crystalbarrow to cleanse it of the foul Lord Christopher. I never entertained any thoughts of disturbing you or your lovely brood - I sought only to cleanse your territory of the blight upon it. Please, Drell. Do me this good. Spare my life, now, and allow me to pursue Christopher. When he lies dead, I may leave this realm forever. I can leave you and your brood to prosper. I can even leave all my accumulated wealth for you. Just please, Drell. Do not do this. Do not attempt to kill me."

"Liesss. Filth. Liesss. You sssay you come for Christopher, but why shhhould I believe you? You keepers are never true to your word. No, you come here to harvest minions and rape the land. What will be left for my brood and I? Nothing. You are scum, keeper. You are the blight on this land. And the land mussst be cleansed." Drell's serpentine voice and lisp only served to emphasize his skepticism and rage, his voice shaking the halls.

"Don't do it, Drell. You have no idea of the force you're dealing with." The voice came from above, was loud and booming, and reverberated ominously in the halls. It was the voice of Larquidos who, before now, had not realized the true gravity of the situation. He had planned for his minions to have done their job in the south by now, but instead his life would probably come within a hair's breadth to extinction.

"Nooooo, Keeper, you are wrong. I've ssseeeen many of your kind rissse and fall, and you're all weak. Your only power liesss with your minions," Drell twirled his head and gestured with his head to the two defeated minions but a few paces away, "and thissss was always your kinds doom. It is YOUR DOOM. I have lived years beyond reckoning, and have seen immense powersss risse and fall. Their auras are obviousss, their interference with the lay magics a clear sign of their potency. You show none of the signs. You came to my landsss and threatened by kin with your very presence. Now isss the time you fall. Now isss the hour of the dragon."

"Are you so sure of yourself, Drell? Do you truly think that these charlatans were the best I have to offer? Did you not think that I would have another contingency plan? Oh, how foolish you are, sir dragon. What, pray tell, do you think I've been doing whilst you've rampaged through my dungeon? Awaiting death at your hands? Are you fool enough to think that I've nothing better to do with my time?"

Drell gave a pause. The keeper raised a valid issue. He had not thought about the many tentacles of influence keepers often enacted. Nevertheless, Drell was sure this one was incompetent. He did just insult his most valiant minions, after all - an extremely poor diplomatic choice, if nothing less, and a poor show of judgement, if Drell was correct. "Bah, you bluff!" the dragon responded bluntly, clearly eager to begin roasting a certain someone's heart. "Now ceassse your talk and die!" With these words, Drell leaned over the pit which encased Larqiduos' heart and began to summon fire from his abominable belly, his flames leaking out and viciously licking the red and rapidly charring mass.

"Very well, dragon. Continue your blind lust for what you perceive to be revenge. Just be aware that if you don't stop short of killing me, I won't be able to issue the order to my minions to spare your broodmate. And wouldn't that be just a terrible, horrible shame?"

Larquidos bit his proverbial lip. The flames attacking his heart were excruciating, his he was losing vision and control. His minions needed to act quickly to save his life. He was mere moments from death...

Summary: Drell escaped the ice, had a quaint chat with Larquidos over a nice cup of tea and is now discussing the finer points of Irish politics. Of course, I say this because this is kind of slightly important to the plot. Mind want to skim read it, at least.

......~The Vnsightly~

Vermillion crumpled against the wall, flung out with cartwheeling arms outward by Drell's Magicks. The impact severely bruised one of his legs and rattled his brain-pan. It also dislodged the last of the ice. He sunk to the floor and moaned. He was barely conscious. He should have been unconscious! Hell he should probably be dead by now.

->It hurts too much... it all hurts! He doesn't want to be here anymore.<-

When a lemon has been squeezed, stuff leaks out. He cushioned his poor rattled brain but it didn't help. His vision of the hall faltered, like an old lightbulb, flashes of white. Suddenly they resolved themselves some... shapes, texture, feeling, colour. They were images, powerful images.

Drell, and he was angry. A random troll building a boulder trap. Black Knights facing off against a lesser dragon. A king pacing. A Horned Reaper surveying a brilliant gem within its clutches. Admortis getting something to eat. A wizard looking startled.

Vermillion growled and slapped himself. He cursed spitting blood.

->He is gonna go an dies anyways when the flame-lizard is done with Keeper, he'll never make it to the portal, may as well slip scratch-ing the brutish beast-y.<-

He clambered up, unsteady as he was, and inched forward toward the dungeon heart. Leaning heavily against the wall, crawling along the ground.

The images continued.

A mighty overworld spire lit by a massive moon. Salamanders stalking across a lava lake. A Bile Demon cooking. A fly with a beetle on its back plunging into lava. White robes sullied by brilliant crimson. Himself engaging that female rogue in Northland.


He soldiered on, fighting both the flashes and exhaustion.

More flashes.

Vex, back when he was still a young rogue, laughing. The forlorn-looking spider. A hungry vampire. A one-horned Bile Demon in a workshop. Heroes running for their skins.


Vermillion clambered up, silhouetted dramatically in the entrance of Dungeon Heart. Around him the remains of the magic door.

Words exploded from his mouth, before Vermillion could fail to be bothered enough to make an attempt to close it. He didn’t think they were his. They didn’t sound like his. Not the sort of thing he’d ever said. Out came the raspy voice, spitting around bloody teeth, yet somehow... resounding.

"The progeny of the proprietors of prophecy, he knows. He knows he knows, or he will, though progression, it shall inch forward before he figures out what was said when the Rogue did speak. That is the way. A way that leads to a copse of pine where none shall take root. Actually, no… he proclaims that bit falsely… A trickster’s gilded tongue is severed and the bottle that was stoppered shall be uncorked. Rum and ale shall flow freely across the threshold of his head… also he can speak in phrases crypt!"

Vermillion was startled and rallied angrily.

"Hey who is gabbling with his mouth? Own up, he commands! Vermillion will not… oh… wait. That actually was him. Nevermind. His Bad."

It had interrupted him mid-sentence. Suddenly the vague and blurry images resolved themselves, vivid and bright. The whispering turned to song. They were his words, alright.

"Oh."

He knew what he said was true, he knew he had said it, he knew why. His legacy, his birthright, lost to him, suppressed when the Voice took up residence in his brain so long ago. Before he could remember, but not so long ago that he couldn’t see it, or had it not yet happened? Tenses were confusing. The full breadth and intensity of his Sight was coming to him. The flashes intensified. He could see outcome of this battle, the bitter end of Heavanarius, he could see the Voice despair, and he saw Drell fall. He could see his past torture at the hands of Tesonu and he could see the Wayward Stranger, angry and twisted.

He could see his forebears, on his maternal side, those few as mad as he was. His great-uncle who he’d never even heard about. Hector, the Oracle of Iceport. His ancestors saw him too, from the distant past. A few waved, aware of his probing thoughts from the future.

"Oh."

He blinked dazedly, stunned.

"Ummm... could you, maybe, do Vermsy a favour and wait a moment?"

Promptly Vermillion fainted.

Meanwhile, the Voice was frustrated. It had gone to all this trouble, and it was finding it difficult just to find the blasted creatures brain in all these barren wastes. Not made easier by how thick dragon flesh is.

-->Blasted rogue, I bet he set me up by suggesting this idea. He didn't suggest it openly, but I wouldn't have trusted him if he did. The sneaky bugger, he was playing me, I know it! I kill the little fool... just as soon as I get me this beast!!<--

The Voice of Leech continued to mutter in typical paranoid form, and in no way did it impede his efforts which was an impressive feat.

Lucien and Rob the Black Knights :lord:

Lucien ran towards the mother dragon with the sword at his side. The mother dragon began to breath out serveral fire spits, one caught Lucien dead in the chest plate armour. Although it did not injure Lucien signifcantly it was still enough to stagger him for some moments but he regained his balance and caught up with the mother dragon and engaged in close combat. She immidiately went for a bite for Lucien's right shoulder and kept on holding tight, the pain was almost unbearable! Lucien noticed then spotted the knife still hanging on the left side of the mother dragon's skull. Seeing his, he snatched the knife out with his free left hand and slashed the dragoness with it, she did not expect this and was forced to release Lucien. While the mother dragon and Lucien fought in close combat, Rob finally made it to his axe and picks it up. Rob turns and goes towards the distracted mother dragon, raises his axe and cleanly slices off her tail, making her roar loudly in pain. Blood splashes onto Rob's axe and parts of his dark armour from the dragon's stumpy tail. Rob then jumps onto her back, the mother dragon obviously struggling with the weight of Rob, as he grabs her neck and pulls back to make her throat vulnerable.

"Finish her." Rob said in a deep voice.

Lucien grabbed hold of his sword with both hands, and then with one mighty swordswing he sliced her throat. The mother dragon emited one last roar, perhaps more of a shriek, that echoed through the caves before being silenced and falling down to the ground dead.

As the Dragon Mother slumps to the ground, Rob jumps away from her corpse, a faint grin appearing on his pale undead face. But as quickly as it came, it disappeared in moments as he walks over to his discarded helmet, and puts it back on as his face became covered once again.

The mother dragon was slain by the joint efforts of Rob and Lucien after a short struggle.

Asifet -
The Aggressor

Asifet burst into the heart chamber, battle-staff clasped tightly in one hand, and narrowly avoided tripping over the rogue who was lying face-down drolling against the floor. The warlock didn't ponder the matter however as there was a far more imposing figure in the room.

\\Dark Gods preserve us! If aid doesn't arrive soon, there is a good chance they'll have to stich me back together piece by piece.//

The towering monstrosity was much bigger and meaner than the last dragon, and she had been mean enough. Not to mention the fact that he hadn't been the one facing her. He briefly wondered whether the two Black Knights had bested the frenzied creature, but quickly put it out of his mind. His duty awaited.

"I shall not quaver before even such a brute as you, Dragon! My course is set and none.... none shall subvert it." he raged in attempt to grab its attention.

Drell's head swiveled towards him like a naval battery in preperation for a broadside. The constant distractions were annoying him, and the last insignificant pest to burst in had finished talking only to collapse. He had no intention of wasting his attention on petty beings which did nothing but talk.

The dragon roared at the offending intruder, fully expecting it to realise its error and run off. As a result he quickly turned back to the task at hand without a second thought.

\\Not even worthy of your attention, huh? I am a Warlock!//

Asifet shifted his hold on the weapon and charged, imbedding the skewering end of the staff deep into Drell's back. The Dragon spun arround angrily, but Asifet's staff was lodged in its back and the warlock was holding on very tightly to his staff.

Drell turned around in search of the foolish little creature so idiotic as to attack it... only to find nobody there. Asifet meanwhile found himself dangling precariously above the Dungeon Heart from his own staff.

\\What have I done?//

He could hear the frantic beats of the Keeper's Heart all around him in the air, copying and drowning out his own. He looked down. The sight didn't fill him with confidence.

Drell meanwhile was infuriated. It wasn't an unusual state for him, but this Keeper and his minions proved unsually so. He let loose a resounding roar of challenge and turned back to face the Keeper.

Again, Asifet found himself swung around like a ragdoll. Unfortunately he had nothing else to attack the dragon now that his staff was lodged in its back. he slid one of the slashing blades out of its housing and, hanging on single-handedly, began vainly hacking at its thick-skin.

Drell had had enough. He swung himself around and sent Asifet, who clung to his staff with a single-hand, flying... straight into one of the heart pillars.

The shalshing blade slipped from his hand. Just before the Warlock passed out he heard...

Once again, the Dragon struck with The Word™, and Skios was in the middle of the blast again. The Word's power blew him away from Drell again. However, Skios wasn't just done yet. On the contrary, he was just getting warmed up. He followed Drell into the heart chamber, where Asifet just got knocked out.

Skios jumped onto his neck.

"Hey!"

Drell turned around, in a "who the hell is there?" fashion. But Skios stuck firmly on his neck, so Drell didn't see anything.

"No, I'm here, you idiot."

Drell turned his back again. At the same time, Skios quickly moved over his head, so when Drell turned his head back Skios was on top of his face, his rear end facing Drell.

"Wassup."

Skios then released spider silk right into Drell's eyes, blinding him, if only temporarily. Drell briefly flinched, but Skios held his balance and moved right on top of Drell's head.

"Yeah, you suck."

Skios remained on top of Drell's head, sitting down oddly casually, although still with a firm grip so he doesn't get shaken off.

Vermillion groaned as he felt something tugging on his leg, a sensation made all the more disturbing when he realised he wasn't wearing trousers. That explained why the grip was rather hesitant in nature.

He tried to open his eyes but it was like a wet flannel had been pushed over his awareness. Being battered, being burnt, having an angry leech tromp through your brain, being thrown about and, finally, having the back wall of your conciousness kicked in could do that to just about anybody.

->Ouchy...<-

He groped backwards, relucantly grasping for the hidden creature that assailed him. He found a misshapen head, a pointed ear and a very large eye. The imp yelled and slapped away the hand, before taking hold of his foot and dragging with all its might.

Vermillion flailed his hand back at the imp that was violating his near-corpse. It was just trying to do his job, but this Rogue was testing its professionalism.

"Away.. away creature! Fireballs..."

Vermillion found himself dumped uncermoniously atop his lair. The Imp made a hurried retreat, but returned a few minutes later. A fabric garment was tossed over his head. Blind investigation revealed it to be a new pair of trousers to replace the ones burnt off in fighting Drell. The rogue sighed and drifted back into healing oblivion...

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.

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.

......~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 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.

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.//

Vermillion watched from the shadows, watching events unfold both in the here and now - and with his Sight. He knew that now was not the moment to announce his presence... not yet.

The battle got more complicated as some of Larquidos's other creature - the rogue hadn't seen either of them before - turned on each other. He felt the urge to join in the attack on the warlock, hated creatures that he considered them, but he held back. More important things were afoot.

It wasn't like Vex was dead anymore. Vermillion could see him. He could see his younger brother rapping his boney hands on his skull like he always used to, drumming a tune. They couldn't interact, but he was alive at least somewhere, some time.

->Dragon, oh dragon, your end will come. Blood in your veins shall run. Red here! Red there! Red Nowhere? 'When?' they ask and cry, those whispers at the brink, a thousand slitted probing eyes. The one who torments him too. They shall not know til it is their time to know. This foresight is for him alone.<-

Vermillion continued to watch.

Skios then continued to watch as Marteal suddenly stops doing that and attacks his ally instead.

Skios facepalmed.

Skios didn't bother getting between Asifet and Marteal or just sorting the mess out. Instead, he crawled back onto his spot on top of Drell's head.

"Psst. Let's see if you can touch me up here."

Skios looked down upon the room, with Marteal and Asifet fighting down below from his perspective.

He poked in one of Drell's eyes.

Asifet -
The Aggressor

Asifet evaded a great grasping hand with the casual ease of somebody who is elusive for a job. He batted away the hand with his staff. He had cooled sufficently to try and talk some sense into the creature

"What your problem is Orc, I do not know, but you are going to have to sort it out because in case you haven't noticed this dungeon is at war. There are Dragons and Demon Spawns at the gate and you, genius, are trying to spread discord amongst our ranks..."

Its quite possible that behind Asifet, Drell was stiring. He wouldn't know, however, as he was facing Marteal and lost in tirrade.

"...no, actually, its worse than that. If you haven't bloody NOTICED there is a hungry, angry Dragon in this very room, who until a minute ago was busy nomming on the Keeper. GET WITH THE PROGRAM, SON!"

Asifet seemed to grow taller and louder, his eyes flashed... but then all warlocks are a bit like that. All the while he was completely unaware to anything that may or may not have been unfolding behind him.

"...if it isn't ABUNDANTLY clear what the Keeper expects from you already, having been nommed on, I will tell you. What is expected of you is that you attack THAT dragon, right NOW and don't get BLEEDING DISRACTED!!"

Whilst he was oblivious, behind him Drell was still very, very angry. He was so angry that he was about to go on a blind rampage, massacring anything he could find with a pulse... by sound alone if required. Asifet was making a lot of sound.

Drell RRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRED.

A massive foot cracked the ground where Asifet had been standing but a moment before. The warlock jumped right into Marteal's evidently shocked grasping arms, turning to face the orc and whispered hoarsely...

"Belay that... Just run the f**k away for It!"

Drell was mere seconds away from banishing Larquidos forever.

Of that he was sure. But before his maw had unleashed enough brilliant orange flame to char the keeper's weakly beating heart beyond recovery, he was distracted by the ill-timed trash talk of a particularly bold warlock. Never mind, he thought with derision. He is insignificant. Unimportant. He will turn tail and run at the mere thought of my power.
And so he unleashed a roar of unbridled fury, before turning back to the heart, summoning the great fires from his belly once more. But the warlock was bold beyond reason, and did not flee, but instead stabbed Drell in the back with a viciously sharp blade. He turned rapidly, expecting to roast the foe before it could contemplate regretting his actions. But the foe was not there, even though his blade was firmly lodged in the dragon's back.

Again, Drell returned his attentions to the feeble heart before him.
Again, he was distracted by a stabbing pain in his back. He shook himself violently, and relieved himself of the weight on his back.

He was free. There were no more distractions.
It was inevitable, now.

Larquidos had seconds to live.

Drell began a chant, and molten earth began to form in the core of his giant maw, between his absurdly sharp teeth teeth. Meanwhile, his belly began to coat it with liquid flame.

But before he could unleash the meteor, something unfathomable happened. An infinite emptiness overcame the dragon. A soul-crushing, excruciating, incomprehensible empty. A part of his mind that had been with him for centuries - a part which defined who he was, and all that he did, was suddenly severed.

Drell's mate was dead.

His meaning for being. His love. His broodmate. The only creature which had given light to his otherwise odious existence. The very thing which he was striving to prevent had occurred. The only reason he was attacking Larquidos to begin with.

His mate.

His... mate.

And so he stood, before Larquidos' dying heart, and he gave up. He did not notice the spider climb onto his head, nor the silk it covered his eyes with. He did not notice the beatings from a hammer that soon came by, nor the stabbing from the warlock's blade once more. He recognized none of it. Because he was but a shell of the being he was. He had no more reason to live. A million images flashed before his eyes, all of her. Every moment the thought of being alone rotated in his mind, he only became more sure of what he wanted.

After a time, he unleashed a roar giving summary to the infinite grief, despair and sense of loss that he felt. He stamped his foot wildly, not caring what happened to it. He did not register the cracking of bones that sounded upon its landing. He slowly began to sway - with no adrenaline or hate to fuel his rampage, he was suddenly lost. Exhausted. He could move no more.

And so Drell, the Ancient Dragon, the true lord of Crystalbarrow for several hundred years, collapsed to his knees. There he remained for a time, before gravity overcome his hulking form and he collapsed backwards, crushing the bones in his wings as he did so.

So there, mere feet from Larquidos' dying heart, Drell lay, his life-force, and will to live, leaking out of him with each passing moment.

A single tear, obscured by spider's silk, leaked down the dragon's face as it embraced the void of unconsciousness.

Soon, my love. I will join you in eternity. Death can not come soon enough.

Summary: Drell is but a husk, awaiting death.

Ribs the Man of Crystalbarrow :skeleton:

Ribs was plucked by Keeper Larquidos then dropped in a room full of Demon Spawns, a female Dragon, and several other Creatures belonging to Larquidos who were fighting them. Ribs, through all his panicing, was rather confused as to where he was and how he got there. Suddenly he felt a massive amount of slaps coming from Keeper Larquidos. Ribs was knocked into another Skeleton and then fell onto the ground.

Something was different. Every single one of those slaps were completely painless. How could this be? Only one conclusion came to Ribs' mind...

Holy crap... I'm IMMORTAL!!

OOC: (Just when you thought he couldn't get any stupider)

Ribs stood up and looked around at the other fighting Creatures.

...Eh, they can fight a Dragon by themselves. I have more important things to do! I'm going to kill Drell! But first, I need to fix my Bow. Even if I am Immortal, I can't possibly face him without a weapon!

Ribs looked at his sword. It was a weapon. But it was not the weapon that Ribs needed. He couldn't really fight well with a sword, especially if it was bent. Ribs decided to do possibly one of the dumbest or possibly one of the smartest things he could ever do.

"Screw this!" Ribs yelled as he threw his sword into the lava.

Ribs watched the sword boil and die for a moment before he exited the room. He found a path of territory that was owned by Larquidos, and followed it. He quickly encountered a new path which led to a bridge out on lava. Ribs knew about this bridge, he had crossed it before in order to get to Larquidos' dungeon.

Ribs then began sprinting across the bridge. He soon crossed it, and he ran straight ahead until he entered the Treasury then stopped. Right in front of him stood Drell, the almighty Dragon, as he battled Larquidos' Creatures. There was not a moment to spare! Creatures' lives were at stake!

Ribs looked to his left and found the Workshop. He quickly entered it and began... thinking.

Hmm... how am I gonna fix this thing? I don't know how to sew wood back together... unless... uh... ummm... ............................I got it! I'll use some metal to wrap around the wood to connect it back together! I feel so smart!

With that, Ribs quickly began going to work. He found a hammer in the worksho and some metal that he could use. Ribs began hammering away like a Troll. Ribs was determined to kill Drell. He had to, not just for Larquidos. Ribs really didn't care too much about Larquidos or like him in any way. Ribs had to do it for himself, in order to satisfy his own dreams!

Suddenly, the whole Workshop shook and Ribs felt a powerful force knock him onto the ground. Little did Ribs realize that this was the almighty power from an ancient Word. However, Ribs could not let this stop him.

Ribs gripped his hammer tightly and struck the metal, sending his hope within the metal through his swing.

FAME.

Ribs rubbed his forehead to swipe off the sweat that he thought he was producing, before gripping his hammer with both hands and sending his dreams within the metal with yet another swing.

FORTUNE.

Ribs breathed hard, he was almost done. It just took one more swing, one more set of power before his Bow could become complete. Ribs pulled his hand back, readying his last swing. He began sending in the last of his power, and the greatest of them all, within his hammer. It was the power of his virginity. Ribs swung his hammer towards the metal one final time, pounding the metal and letting out a loud clank that caused a shiver of fear to run down Drell's spine.

SPIDER GIRLFRIEND.

It was done. Ribs had finished his Bow. His weapon of celestial power had been forged. And with his newly found immortality, nothing could stop him. Not even the GM himself.

Ribs left the Workshop, finding Drell to be on his knees, presumably weakened from battle.

Now's my chance!

Ribs charged forward, passing right by Drell and then stopped in front of Larquidos' Dungeon Heart. He turned to face Drell, then readied his Bow and a single arrow. He pulled the bowstring back, his lone eye meeting and fixed on Drell's teary eye.

"This is going right through your eye and into your brain, Dragon!" Ribs cried, releasing the bowstring.

The arrow was launched towards Drell, who stood still in his vulnerable state. The arrow teared through the air and reached Drell's eye. It pierced his eye like an Imp's flesh, inflicting a fatal blow to the once almighty Dragon.

He fixed his Bow then got in the Heart Chamber where Drell was. He shot an arrow which struck Drell dead in the eye, dealing fatal damage.

......~The Vnsightly~

Vermillion emerged from the shadows, now that Drell was dead-ish.

->The Dragon, it is dead? His work here is done. This calls for... RAT STEW!!<-

He was chuffed. Nobody had seen him briefly sneak off. Nobody had seen his subtle touch on the rudder of fate. The touch he already known he was destined to have made. He wondered why he couldn't remember exactly what it was, or for that matter, sense anything about it with his Sight. Strange memory/foresight blanks put aside with the casualness of idiocy - All he knew is that it had been critical and that his bladder had felt a lot emptier afterwards. He was certain, however, that he had just played a crucial part.

->Great job, Vermsy. Also... no rat stew, he foresees is going to be too, too, lazy.<-

The Rogue slinked away from the milling creatures, and went to get someting to eat in the hatchery instead. After that, Vermillion searched for somewhere quiet, out-of-the-way and dimly lit to reflect on the events since his entry to the realm. He settled on the abadoned Library.

He picked up a book at random and began flipping through it. If he tried he could see every person who had ever read it and everyone who ever would... it was overwhelming, but as he focused in he noticed dark elusive scars of nothingness in his perception. They were somewhat akin to veins in rock. He could read nothing in them. What's more, they effected him powerfully and detrimentally - whenever he past through one, it seemed, he emerged with no recollection of the time within the strange temporal shroud.

->This, he thinks might be a problem.<-

It was just then he noticed he was about to pass through another... "Vermsy... NO, NO, NO!!..."



*MEMORY BLANK*


Meanwhile, in the Heart chamber the Voice of Leech was still slaving away to reach Drell's brain. He had just popped inside when suddenly light streamed in and he narrowly avoided being impaled on a massive stake that was Rib's arrow. It he had eyes, they would be wide.

-->I think I might be in shock. Somebody get me blanket, now!<--

It seemed Drell was already dead and all his efforts and death-defying stunts were in vain.

-->DAMN THAT COWARDLY WRETCH!!! HE COULDN'T OF PLANNED THIS! JUST COULDN'T, BLAST HIM TO HELL!<--

He would have to find a new host... a better host. Anything was better than Vermillion of course.

The Leech poped out of Drell's head and flopped to the floor. Nobody but Ribs was in reach, unfortunately. While he probably coulnd't mind jack the Skeleton, it would serve as a valid and safe ride until he could find another life form and begin to work his way up again. The Skeleton could obviously handle itself if it could kill a Dragon so he would be safe for now.

The Leech sruggled his way up the Skeletons legs, tirelessly ascended his backbone until he finally found himself perched ontop of its skull. It descended the front of it's boney face, swinging in via the eye-socket and easing its way around until it clung, upside-down like a bat, to the inerior roof of Ribs cranium.

-->I think I should be safe here for now...<--


*MEMORY BLANK*

Vermillion found standing... somewhere. He had no recollection of how he had got there.

->Vermillion, he will not be treated in this way!!<-

Taking stock of his situation, Vermillion discovered several things - that there were lipstick marks over the non-scared side of his face, that his pants were full of strawberry yogurt, that his helmet was askew with chicken feathers glued across it, that he had lost a finger on his right hand and finally that, somehow, he was 50 gold richer.

Upon consulting one of his relatives, he was told all that was normal and that the finger would probably turn up eventually.

->Why does this always goes and happens to him? What has he done? The Dark Gods hate him.<-

Vermillion hissed. He felt violated. He wasn't sure if he was still in Crystalbarrow, but a quick check with Sight revealed he was... not to say he hadn't left it of course. He could have been anywhere.

Drell opened his eyes briefly to see rapidly approaching death in the form of an arrow.

He gave his final words in a hoarse whisper. "Thank you, skeleton." His eyes, prior to being mutilated, held a gaze of peace.

An instant later, the arrow pierced through his flesh and rammed forward to his neural stem, severing nerves and immediately finishing what Larquidos had started what felt like months ago.

____

The omnipresent being was not quite as present as he once was. His presence was no longer thick in the air; where once creatures could feel him almost as they could humidity in the air, the wind in the corridors now had a distinctly dry feel to them. But faded as he was, Larquidos was not dead. Quite the opposite, in fact - he was victorious. It was the greatest success of his comparatively short career as a keeper.

And he knew the root of his success - the will to do anything to succeed. Had he followed the misguided concept of 'honour' followed by some keepers, he never would have had the gall to kill Drell's mate. But he was unscrupulous in his morals, and that was the source of his power. That, and a complete disregard for his creatures. They were, after all, beneath him, and unworthy of his consideration. No, we would only speak to them out of necessity, displaying kindness only when it was diplomatically required. They were nothing to him, but it was unwise to let them know that too directly.

Tired and willing to rest as he was, he had business to attend to. Lord Christopher was still at large. He, and his good-for-nothing minions, needed to get busy.

With many deft movements, all of Larquidos minions could soon be found in the lair - many were dropped by the great hand of evil, whilst imps were dispatched to retrieve those whom were otherwise incapacitated.

"Congratulations, minions, on the defeat of the dragon, Drell, and his brood mate, whom was strangely unnamed throughout this ordeal. Particular kudos are due to Rob and Lucien, without whom Drell certainly would have roasted my heart alive. I owe you both a debt. All others who delayed the dragon are due individual thanks, though I'm sure you can appreciate I don't have time for such sentimental dribble. Here's the plan, minions - rest, train, eat, build things, I suppose. Do as you will for a time. Except for one of you. I require a volunteer to scout ahead, in the Ancient Dungeon. I will grace this individual with the infinite wisdom of my own mind in possession, and together we shall find Christopher, hunt him down and skewer his heart over a nice, toasty fire. Then we can decorate the darkest alcoves of my domain with the entrails of he and his underlings. But I have graced you with my words long enough - I will rest until I receive a visit in my heart chamber."

Summary: Everyone is now in the lair, and Larquidos gave a prettyful speech.

Ribs the Man of Crystalbarrow :skeleton:

Ribs had slain a Dragon. He had done it. He reached manhood. All those years of drinking had finally paid off. Ribs stepped on the corpse of Drell, then took a pose with his bow.

"I AM RIBS!!" Ribs shouted proudly throughout the whole dungeon, "MAN OF CRYSTALBARROW!!"

Ribs suddenly felt something crawl into his brain. Somehow, he could feel it.

...My brain tickles...

Ribs decided to ignore it, then he stepped down from Ribs' dead body then walked into the Lair, finding Krua sleeping peacefully in her Lair.

"YOU!!" Ribs pointed at Krua, "You will become my BRIDE!!"

Suddenly, Ribs realized that Larquidos was talking. He had missed most of the conversation but was just in time to hear the last part.

"...I require a volunteer to scout ahead, in the Ancient Dungeon. I will grace this individual with the infinite wisdom of my own mind in possession, and together we shall find Christopher, hunt him down and skewer his heart over a nice, toasty fire. Then we can decorate the darkest alcoves of my domain with the entrails of he and his underlings. But I have graced you with my words long enough - I will rest until I receive a visit in my heart chamber."

Ribs became excited. Slaying a Dragon was one thing but to go on a solo mission to defeat an entire army of Heroes? Ribs would become Crystalbarrow's GOD. Larquidos would bow down to him! It was perfect! The best part of it was that Ribs was immortal so now he didn't have to worry about dying in the process!

"Uh, me!" Ribs shouted towards Larquidos as he ran back into the Heart Chamber, "Me! I'll go! I just killed a Dragon! I can handle Lord Christopher. Being that I was once a Hero before I became immortal, I know the entire Hero Fortress like the back of my head! Plus, I've seen how Christopher fights. He fights like a wuss! I can totally kick his ass! Plus, I'm immortal. We got nothing to lose!"

Ribs waited patiently in the Heart Chamber for Larquidos to respond. But he suddenly remembered one more thing that he wanted, and decided to mention it before he forgets.

"Oh yeah, one more thing..." Ribs added, "When we win, can you wed me and that female Spider in the Lair?"

He then walked into the Lair and told Krua that she would be his bride. He heard Larquidos and ran back to the Heart Chamber, offering up his services to Larquidos. He boasted about how he knows the Hero Fortress, just killed a Dragon, and is immortal. He also asked for Krua's hand(s) in marriage once they win.

The spiders were sleeping briefly until they were interrupted in their sleep by a shouting Ribs.

<<Dammit, shut the hell up, I'm trying to sleep here.>>

"YOU!!" Ribs pointed at Krua. "You will become my BRIDE!!"

Krua quietly responded. "...what?"

Skios looked at the skeleton, who really just did say something about Krua being her bride.

"...that is the sickest thing I've ever heard."

Skios and Krua also noticed the Keeper speaking from then on.

"--I require a volunteer to scout ahead, in the Ancient Dungeon. I will grace this individual with the infinite wisdom of my own mind in possession, and together we shall find Christopher, hunt him down and skewer his heart over a nice, toasty fire. Then we can decorate the darkest alcoves of my domain with the entrails of he and his underlings. But I have graced you with my words long enough - I will rest until I receive a visit in my heart chamber."

Skios was already ready for more action. The Keeper's plan sounded interesting, and hunting the local Lord around is something he's been wanting to do for a long time. He definitely wanted to do this.

As Ribs left towards the heart chamber, Skios followed right behind him into the heart chamber.

"IWANTIWANTIWANTIWANTIWANTIWANTIWANT! I defeated that Dragon. And I want to see that Lord Christopher die so bad, I have to be there. I'll go kick his ass so bad, he'll feel it in the afterlife. I can do this."

Shortly later, Ribs dropped another comment.

"Oh yeah, one more thing... When we win, can you wed me and that female Spider in the Lair?"

"You want to what!? If you do as much as even touch my sister without consent, I will bloody murder you and drop your remains in the magma pit. Keep your ass away from her. Understand?"

A short pause later, Skios turned back to the Dungeon Heart.

"So... about that kicking Lord Christopher's ass?"

Summary: Krua and Skios are disturbed about Ribs' marrying Krua idea, Skios rushes to Dungeon Heart alongside Ribs to volunteer, then is disturbed about Ribs' marrying Krua idea again.

Asifet -
The Aggressor

Asifet spun his battle-staff around, before rolling his shoulders to relax his muscles. He was unsure if casting Heal on the heart would aide it or even be a good idea.

"Keeper, would your physiology benefit from a creature Heal spell? With this, I am unfamiliar. If not, I can add the finishing touches to my research of the Keeper spell, if that would be of any use."

And if not... well he could always train. The sheer usefulness of teleport would allow him full range of the battlefield. He wasn't far now, and that almost-battle with the orc had shown just how useful it would have been.

Asifet was shortly after dropped in the lair, so he assumed the answer was no.

"If you change your mind... I'll be in the Training Room," he positioned himself so his voice would echo down through the entrance corridor and just barely be audiable in Heart Chamber.

Asifet stopped by the hatchery and got himself something to eat, then used his Heal spell on himself, returning to full Health.

\\If only I could increase the potentcy of the Heal spell, it wouldn't take so many - and what with the casting delay it is barely better than going to sleep.//

Asifet entered the Training Room and squared up against his opponent, an aging combat dummy with a scared face.

"Alright Scarface, lets see what you've got shall we?"

The Warlock unleashed the spinning scything blades of his battle staff, fending off sword-strikes not only from his foe, but all the other dummies in his immediate area.



MEANWHILE


The leech was panicking.

-->This foolish skeleton thinks he can kill the Lord of the Land, and he is taking me along for the sucicidal ride... wait, is he really immortal or just delusional that incompetant Rogue?<--

It do well to see this. If nothing else, even if the skeleton was crushed into so much broken bone he knew he would probably been fine. He could hitch a ride with a Hero perhaps...

All of a sudden being carried into the Hero fortress wasn't so worrying.

-->There is still the presence of the Keeper, close at hand to worry about... but maybe you could strike up an alliance? Being a mind controlling leech has certain bonuses attach and he'd be sure to find you useful...<--

......~The Vnsightly~

Vermillion was still recovering from his strange memory blank and the side-effects when he got back to the dungeon. He felt vulnerable and scared, and he knew from experience only two ways to get rid of such feelings and they were torturing innocents or training.

->He will not cower in his frailty, he has done enough of that! He will do something about it!<-

The Rogue stormed off back into the dungeon and towards the Library to find a self-help book. The corridor in was addorned with finger painting and hand prints across the walls, which he didn't remember making but quickly cast aside.

He flung open the wooden doors to the library and quickly found an applicable book called Self-Improvement for Minions. Quickly riffling through it, he found nothing that would help incombating Super-Sight induced memory blackouts but there was some interesting stuff about combating phobias. It told him he should face and embrace them, but Vermillion had no intention of facing Pain.

->Not now, not ever... stupid book.<-

Vermillion consulted Hector, in the realm of Iceport in the slightly more distant past.

"Who are you, I haven't seen you before... ohhh, you're my nephew, huh? True. Sachee's kid... one of them anyway. Funny, I haven't seen you earlier than this..."

"He had a Leech in his brain, it suppressed his abilities. Vermsy never used them, never drew attention," the Rogue addressed and empty library.

"Well what do you want than, you can't be here just to chat to your Uncle for no reason... and I have clients to see. I'm a successful Oracle with a flourishing buisness you know."

"Aren't you going to say anything to Vermillion thats wierd or funky about dying or mad stuff."

"The older me will when you first speak to him, it seems, but you know us... we all get crazier with age, its a vintage thing. You seem to have managed anyway mind, congratulations. You wanted to talk about weird memory blackouts? Never had any myself, but I know some older family members who have. Temporal radiance from the end and beinging of time, whatever that means."

"Vermillion thanks you, Hector. What can he do about them?"

"Nothing. Nobody has ever found a way to combat them. They are apparently quite rare if its any consolation..."

"He has had two in as many hours and, Vermsy, he will not be subject to the whimsies of temperable rabies! Gah!"

"Can't help, sorry. I got to go... my next client is ready. The Vampire wants to know who is next victim is, and it wouldn't be a good idea to keep him waiting. Good luck with your fruitless search, which I know first hand will consume your entire life."

Vermillion growled, and looked about the still empty room. He stormed towards the Training Room, deciding that burying his feelings of exposedness and vulnerability with training might be a good idea afterall...

He found a training dummy near the lava lake and began combat...

"He doesn't like this one bit!"

Val'Kaz awoke in his lair in a rather uncomfortable position. He rose slowly, taking stock of the situation. The lair was rather... crowded. This suggested to him that the fight was over and they had been victorious. Either that, or they were prisoners of the dragon and his brood - regardless, he was getting up.

His left shoulder, dislocated last he remembered, was back in place, though aching slightly. He took a deep breath, taking stock of local magics, and noted with approval that though they were not particularly strong, they smelt stronger than they ever had before. He was growing in power, of that he was sure. A pang of hunger hit his belly, and he trudged to the hatchery to find a bite to eat. A few fireballs later, Val'Kaz was partaking in the creature equivalent of fine dining. Whilst chewing, he thought. Obviously Larquidos had defeated Drell - no simple task. What's more, Val'Kaz noted that Larquidos' minions were unlikely to finish Drell on their own. No, it was psychological warfare, of that he was sure. No doubt the Dragon had some sort of tie to its mate... He was pleased. Were he in Larquidos' position, he would have done the exact same thing.

Minutes later, hunger sated and mind looking for something to do, Val'Kaz resolved to read up on necromancy once more. It felt like an unbearably long time since he last indulged his intellectual urges and so, upon reaching the library, he was hit with a wave of sick delight.

He approached the shelf in the library's corner where he had stocked his personally preferred literature and hefted a great tome entitled Embracing the Void. He sat and began to read.

While still standing at the massacred dragon brood Lucien overheard a speech from Larquidos congratulating everyone for the effort made before picking them all up and dropping them into the lair. Larquidos then requested volunteers for continuing the hunt on Lord Christopher, combined with the recent developments Lucien thought of Larquidos now as a competent Keeper.

Content with the situation at present and feeling like he has earned his keep for now, Lucien created his lair and went sleeping. However, something happend and Lucien's spirit was pulled to another (http://keeperklan.com/threads/2518-The-Dark-Beyond-Leto-s-Dungeon) place.

Ivan

Ivan wasn't sure what just happened. At one moment, he saw Drell just go through his trap as if it was nothing, which, to a big dragon was supposed to be expected. He crawled over to attempt to delay, with whatever remnants of his trap remained, Drell to the Dungeon Heart. Next thing Ivan knew, Drell's tail swung and struck Ivan with a loud crack, making Ivan pass out.

Moments later, Ivan twitches, regaining consciousnesses from what would of been a killing blow if Ivan didn't have his Exo-exoskeleton armour on. He wakes up in the Lair, hearing Larquidos speak. Ivan assumes that Drell was defeated, how, Ivan will never know. Ivan attempts to stand with his legs, and slumps back down as all four legs on the right-side of his body refused to move, and were bent at impossible angles. Ivan drags himself into his own lair-hole, soon covering the hole top with webbing as he recovered from his wounds. Ivan currently was in too much pain to even speak, let alone make a hiss.

Rob sighs, his wounds regenerating from being out of combat. He stretches his arms out, a cracking sound coming from his entire body, blood dripping from his hands and face. As Rob started to walk towards his lair, he stops and looks at Ribs and his comments. He turns and walks to Ribs, his only visible eye glaring at the Skeleton.

"Freak."

Rob makes a fist and nearly attempts to strike Ribs before stopping just a centimeter from his skull.

"Warning." Rob grumbled, clearly not amused by Ribs words of a Spider bride.

Turning away, Rob goes to the Guardroom, but not before grabbing a chicken and somehow consuming it.

Rob now stands in the Guardroom, nearly ruined by Drell's attack, tables tossed over, papers everywhere (Some of which were burnt), and parts of broken traps. Rob walks to the exit of Larquidos' dungeon and now stands guard there in case of anything trying to interrupt his comrades rest.

The Black Knight

A Black Knight rose from the Portal, then stepped onto the dungeon ground. He began to move forward, heading towards the Heart Chamber, sword in hand. With every step, there was a loud thud due to the heavy weight of the Black Knight's armor. He past by Drell's dead body, and a smirk appeared beneath his helmet. He continued onward towards Larquidos' Dungeon Heart. With the way he walked forward towards Larquidos' heart, gripping his sword ever so tightly, it appeared as if he were about to kill Larquidos. However, the Black Knight stopped right in front of the Dungeon Heart and sheathed his sword.

"Greetings, Lord Larquidos," the Black Knight spoke, revealing that "he" was actually a female all along, "I see that you have slain the Dragon of this realm. Most impressive. Perhaps you are worthy of my talents. I am here to pledge my loyalty to you. I go by no true name worth your note. But people simply call me "The Black Knight", and you may call me the same. If you need something of me, order it and it will be done to the best of my ability. I am a terror in the battlefield, but I warn you that my talents off it are admittedly not worth your time."

The Black Knight turned around, "I will await your orders in the Training Room. Should you find an opponent that you wish to see no more, call me."

The Black Knight left the Heart Chamber, then turned to her left and entered the Lair. She quickly, as quick as a heavily armored juggernaut of a Black Knight can anyways, created her Lair off to the west side near the western entrance. Then, she turned around and slowly made her way to the Training Room. She passed the Treasury, not caring to look at how much Gold Larquidos had, and then entered the Training Room. She found a victim Training Dummy and then unsheathed her sword.

Die.

A yellow liquid began to drip from the lower part of the Training Dummy.

Asifet -
The Aggressor

Asifet was so deep in training he never noticed the new Black Knight enter. He didn't notice them training. He didn't notice them at all. His focus was busy split between threats, considering angles and stringing together sequences. He leapt between foes, slashing, stabbing and blocking with unholy fury.

He continued for what seemed like an eternity until he collapse to his knee's from exhaustion. He was spent. He retreated, still parying spinning arms in the acknowledgement that in real circumstances extracting oneself from the fray would not be as easy as walking away.

\\This is why most warlocks spend their lives as weaklings, easily-cowed without their magic. They don't know how to push their limits. They don't know exhaustion.//

He headed to the lair and collapsed into slumber.

Larquidos set about attending to various housekeeping duties; imps were dispatched to retrieve the corpses of Drell, his broodmate and 4 demonspawn children. He also tagged gold seams around the edge of the lava lake for retrieval, noting that he was desperately poor, and probably owed his minions pay. Once the two dragon corpses arrived, he ordered their heads severed and placed on pikes at the western edge of his 'dungeon vanguard' guard room, to deter attackers, should any be foolish enough to approach. He also sold his northern stone bridge in order to avoid any surprise attacks whilst he was busy elsewhere. Next, he ordered that imps place all completed traps in the guard room similar to the array prior to Drell's rampage. He then offered distracted greetings to the creature that introduced itself as The Black Knight.

"Oh, and imps? I am aware there are undead in the Ancient Dungeon. I assure you, they don't even register your presence. Feel free to make yourselves worth the mana and actually claim some of it. And one of you clean up the feces just outside the ancient Guard Room." He could scarcely comprehend the cowardice that led to the last command being necessary.

He then addressed his possession choice. It was not a difficult one; he could choose between a rather battle hardened arachnid warrior capable of climbing walls with ease, or an obviously incompetent skeleton with an outrageous ego and particularly questionable sexual desires. He noted with disgust that ex humans should want to squish spiders, not mate with them.

"Skios, you are to be the honored individual who is to help me pursue Lord Christopher." Larquidos picked the spider up from where it stood at his heart and placed it at the southern edge of his territory, directly outside the ancient dungeon and within view of a particularly massive pair of skeletons.

"One moment, Skios." Larquidos turned his attention to his dungeon once more. "Minions, I am about to embrace your fortunate compatriot Skios with my mind. If the dungeon is attacked whilst I am absent, I expect each of you to lay down their lives to protect my heart." Again, to Skios "Ok, let's get this over with. Press forward through the dungeon as you would and I will offer my wisdom or fighting prowess where required. Ignore undead along the way, they're mindless." With these words, Larquidos' conciousness descended into the form of the spider, shrinking ten thousand fold to fit within the tiny body.

He issues his next command with a thought, rather than words.

Forward.

"OI! YOU LOT, ANOTHER GUN IS DONE!"Marteal shouted out to the Imps. He continued to work for a while longer, then realized that he is tired.
"Hmm. Times for a naps. I's works on it afterwards."He walks out of the workshop, but not before yelling at the Imps again.
"OI! YOU GITS, GET DEH SENTRY GUN MOVED! AND YOU! STOP HITTING DEH OTHER IMP WITH UR AXE!" :imp::Fine.......Ruin my fun. One of the Imps grabs the box and drags it away.
Marteal nods, satisfied. He walks across the treasury, spilling the gold bags, which the Imps clean up. Marteal enters the Hatchery, grabs a few chickens, then enters the Lair. He finds his home, and, with a sigh and a crash which could be heard and felt from the Training Room, he falls asleep. Occasionally, a snore is heard from him.

The Mentor

It’s payday!

My congratulations upon slaying Drell, Keeper! I’m confident that you will have conquered this realm in no-time from the remaining opposition, the Heroes. Can you some competence expect from a bunch of nitwits led by a buffoon?

....

Oh right, they killed your brother, forgot about that.

*Ahem*

Anyway, I’d recommend putting Christopher’s head on a spike and be done here, and preferbly before he manages to escape. And finally, let's not forget to pay our tribute and respect to Drell and his brood remains in the appriopate way; I do think their bones would be a very nice addition for decorating your dungeon, don't you think?

Another Earth-quake happens as Marteal falls off his bed, due to be woken up by the Mentor. "OI, CAN I GETS SOME SLEEP HERES? IS DAT TO MUCH TO--"He realizes that the Mentor said that it is PAYDAY.
Half walking, half stumbling, he goes to the treasury and grabs 40 gold. Still walking in the same way, he returns to the Lair. "NEXT TIME, NOT SO LOUD, OKS?!?"Still grumbling, he collapses on his bed.
He falls asleep, snoring, and enters the Spirit World....
