Vespion had cast the spell to break the gate, but the girls had forced it open. Rex, Jake, and Sasha helped them get past some of the guards, who were all running to fight the army, not bother with the party...

Marcus flinched as he saw the troops rush past. outside the fight was now a rout, with some now fleeing the battlefield back to the villages, their numbers now greatly reduced.
Ilsa and Minna Pressed on , just agead of vespion.

Vespion looked at the party. Vaeri and Selturma were with him, but Eriol and Arianne were with the army! He had no time to get them and could only hope for the best...

The tribal army was about 80% intact, but in under 20 minutes they had taken 20% causalities!

"This is no good, we are taking heavy casualties too quickly" - Eriol thought as he uses the sword on his left arm backhanded to deflect incoming attacks, while using the sword on his right hand to make quick attacks, like if it were a rapier, just above the end of an enemy's armor, making fatal cuts on their throats.
As Eriol was in the front lines of the attack, Arianne was nearer the center of the ally army, casting a spell to make the wind blow violently against the incoming enemies, making their movements slower and their vision blurry.

It was not enough to stop the enemies, but the panther's efforts were slowing them... buying time for the rest of the party.

Vespion led the party through winding corridors... not quite certain what to look for. Every now and then they would encounter a guard or two, but most of Asthia's forces were outside, fighting the rebelling tribal army. They didn't know where Rhiga was... but they knew that someone had to know...

And eventually, after interrogating several loincloth-clad kobolds, they found one, slightly better dressed and thus of higher status among his kind, who was willing to talk... after some persuasion...

"She's downstairs! In the lowest level! The Prince of Hekaga wanted to do something to her... I don't know what he wants, but he was very mad... and had this huge knife with him... I don't know anymore. Please don't hurt me!" the kobold shrieked.

Vespion, who had the kobold pinned to the wall, dropped him.

lead us there' Marcus cried,. " You do and we'll spare you! vespoin, bring him along!' the knowledge that they were close to Rhiga had set a fire underneath him..

Noname · **Reply #5906 on:** September 17, 2009, 11:58:51 PM

Vespion grabbed the kobold by his tail "Noooo..." it shouted.

Within a few minutes, the party came to a winding staircase leading down... and very far down...

Although it was light at first, it kept getting darker the further down they went... but there was still some light from the torches...

Interestingly enough, Asthia had some metal rail installed to help one get down or up. Useful.

The enemy army was beginning to break through the tribal dracons' lines, making the battle more desperate. It is true that the tribal allies are in a huge disadvantage, but they have the heart and the courage. Some enemy Dracons came closer to Arianne, who began launching a special spell she has that takes air and compacts them in a small area, then launching them like if they were daggers. She managed to stop two enemies, but more were coming.

Eriol was still fighting in the front line, killing as many soldiers as he could while trying to keep himself unharmed, not totally effective though as a soldier managed to stab him on his left arm. The male Panther did not scream due to the sudden pain, but he used the anger to stab the soldier in the throat, and then to use him as a support to jump and kick yet another enemy, hard in the head.

The party reached the bottom of the stairs, at last, and found a huge steel door. It took Vespion's full strength to open it... and the party saw a dark room filled with the horrifying sight of creature suspended from the ceiling by black tendrils... stunned by this, the party didn't notice Rhiga, until she called out Marcus's name...

Nick22 · **Reply #5909 on:** September 18, 2009, 12:52:35 AM

RHIGA!' Marcus roared and ran over to his beloveds side.. "We Need to free her.. and As many of the others as possible" He cried, tears streaming as his face. Rhiga was hung by the tebdrils , and was nude, but right now, neither Marcus, orvIlsa or minna cared about that fact. "Can you climb up those tebndrils" Marcus pointed to the tendrils connecting Rhiga to the celing..

Noname · **Reply #5910 on:** September 18, 2009, 12:55:26 AM

Vespion cast a spell, summoning a glowing mass of bright green light, which he hastily reshaped into a sword. "Someone, take this blade and climb up there! Cut her down!"

"Yes, and hurry" Rhiga gasped. She was not in a good condition...

Nick22 · **Reply #5911 on:** September 18, 2009, 01:19:07 AM

Ilsa Grabbed the sword and quickly scurried up the tendril, showing very good mobility and agility. She reached a point about halfway up and began slicing through the tendcdrils. a few seconds and the first tendril was cut, she jumped in the air and managed to grab onto the second tendril. She slowly climbed down, and once she was closer to the ground, she sliced through the second tendril, freeinf rhiga. m who fell into Marcus's arms. Ilsa landed nimbly on the floor. the only sound was of marcus' soft sobbing as he held Rhiga tightly to him.

Noname · **Reply #5912 on:** September 18, 2009, 01:25:37 AM

Rhiga was hardly capable of speaking, but words were unnecessary as she hugged Marcus... pressing her soft flesh against him, and softly crying. A moment later, she managed to speak. "Free the dragoness too, please, my love." Rhiga was on the verge of fainting by this point... she could only speak that one sentence...

Vaeri also ran up to Rhiga, wanting to embrace her daughter... but she let Marcus hug Rhiga first.

Nick22 · **Reply #5913 on:** September 18, 2009, 01:33:55 AM

Ilsa needed no second Urging as She went over, climbed ionto the dragon and began climbing up the tendrils. this time she didnt go up as high, and quickly slashed through the first and then the Second TEndril. " Minna crpouched doen by the dragon, noticed the blood soaked spike that pined the dragons legs together "I'll try and REmove this spike" She said.

Nick22 · **Reply #5914 on:** September 18, 2009, 01:35:49 AM

Marcus held her for awhile, then let her go, so she could hug her mother.." Does anyone have a spare bra and loincloth for her?' He asked..wiping away tears from his eyes..

Noname · **Reply #5915 on:** September 18, 2009, 01:41:26 AM

Vaeri hugged her daughter, holding on with a tenacity that she didn't think was possible...

And the dragonness was freed as well. She tried to move, but fell to the ground.

Just then, a knife flew out of nowhere, missing Rhiga by a hair!

Nick22 · **Reply #5916 on:** September 18, 2009, 01:46:50 AM

Minna slowly pulled the spike fre of one leg then the other, the blood pured out of both legs, the spike had held much of the blood back. "I'll try and Heal the wound as nest I can" Minna said. " Vespoin I may need your help here with healing her" She said.
_
We need to get out of here!' Marcus said.. flinching as he saw how close that knife had come to hitting Rhiga..

Noname · **Reply #5917 on:** September 18, 2009, 01:49:16 AM

In the distance, the prince of Hekaga could be seen running from the room. "I'll see you all dead later!" and the coward ran...

Vespion quickly healed the dragoness of her injuries... at least, enough to prevent her from dying of blood loss.

"She'll be fine. Now, we've got to rescue Adykon!" Vespion said.

Nick22 · **Reply #5918 on:** September 18, 2009, 01:55:13 AM

Marcus Turned to vaeri" We need to get out of here.. Thank you Ilsa for freeing her' He said Suddenly hugging Ilsa. Ilsa froze, slighly embarassed by this affectionate display. She patted marcus on the head. " Marcus let her go, and Ilsa smiled at him. " Come on, lets get Rhiga out of here, I'm sure you have much catching up to do".. this was a double entendre from her..

Noname · **Reply #5919 on:** September 18, 2009, 01:57:16 AM

"Marcus, grab Rhiga and get out of here! The rest of us will search for Adykon! I don't think the tribal army can last much longer!" Vespion shouted.

And he was right. The tribal army was over half dead, and half of the remainder was injured in some way...
