"Typhon! Where did you come from?!" Adykon stunned by the sudden appearance of the son of Dememoras, but he was even more stunned to hear that Aerta knew who and what the winged Dracon was.

"Adykon, you KNOW this creature?! I sensed him lurking around, but, I didn't think he would show himself. You DO know who he is, right? The offspring of Dememoras?"

"Who I am is of less consequence than what is going to happen really soon! My father knows that you are here, Aerta, and he knows that I am here as well! He didn't want to get involved, but by choosing to reveal myself, it seems I forced his hand. I sensed an avatar of him approaching us! He'll be here in about-"

"RIGHT NOW!"

There was no mistaking the voice. While Typhon had a loud voice which could be mistaken for that of an adult dragon, Dememoras sounded like a volcano. This was a powerful avatar of him, though, not the actual being. As he had done before when he slew Vaeri, the dark master had sent a fraction of his essence, his very being, into the form of a creature known as an avatar. This being was as much a part of him as his hand or tail, despite it being physically detached from his body.

While it was nowhere near as dangerous as Dememoras was in person, it was a far more dangerous avatar than the one that killed Vaeri, at least 50% more powerful. Dememoras hadn't considered having to fight three opponents at once, however. Fortunately for him, he didn't have to.

"Adykon! Take Aerta and RUN!! This opponent is far beyond you!"

"You shall go nowhere!" As with Vaeri, a bolt of energy like a black streak of lightning, arced through the air, heading straight for Aerta. While she was not a helpless dancer as Vaeri had been, the archmage female would have found that there was more than enough power to kill her in that blast...

... if it had hit her.

Adykon, not wanting to repeat the tragedy of the not-too-distant past, shoved Aerta to the ground, placed himself over her body, and took the brunt of the blast! Had Adykon been wearing anything less than the finest armor the city of Minbenthac had to offer, he wouldn't have been able to stand after such a blow, let alone run. The armor he had worn at the start of the whole adventure wouldn't have even saved his life!

Dememoras's avatar didn't get to take another shot, as Typhon lunged at the beast, roaring loud enough to shake the energy crystal that Vaeri had been drawing power from. The two started to fight, each being roughly the same size and power level, much to the surprise of Dememoras.

Adykon pulled himself off of Aerta and lifted her up before he could even apologize to her for pushing her down, she jumped up and gave him a small kiss.

"That's for the save just now." Then, leaping into his arms again, she gave him a hug. "That's for coming to get me. Now, lets be off." Adykon had been hit by a bolt of magic, but Aerta knew he could still run. Adykon knew it to as he took off.

After leaving the walls of the palace, Aerta said a quick thanks to the gods that they had not yet run into any more soldiers. Adykon saw a large body of soldiers ahead, surrounding the party! He put Aerta down as soon as it was clear that she could fight, and the two of them prepared to engage the enemy.

Jake, Rex and Exodar charge at the opposing dracons. One of the Dracons Swung at Rex and nearly decapitated him. But with that miss, it provided an opportunity for rex to gut the dracon with his sword...he did so and blood gushed everywhere as the dracon howled in pain and at the sight of his insides spilling onto the dirt. Jake on the otherhand was having some difficulty sparring with one of the dracons because of the wound he had received during the last fight.

As even more and more enemies approached, Eriol lowered his swords, like resting his arms as gave a deep breathe, closing his eyes - "Well, here I go" - he said, and a second later, he opened his eyes again, this time they looked much sharper and penetrating, he took a battle stance again and engaged the closest enemy soldier by easily blocking a sword slash and delivering one on his own, his blades been more than sharp enough to slice through the tough skin of the Dracon's neck. - "One less, more to come, this is fun!." - he said as he began smiling wider now and jumped to attack another enemy soldier.

Kelassa was able to defend herself as much as she could, by using her daggers in quick circular movements. - "I wonder what is going on inside that Tower" - she asked as she has no real idea of what as going on in there.

"This is just madness" - Herril said as he was able to see inside the tower, through Adykon's eyes. - "Typhon went to the tower and helped Adykon and Aerta, but an unbelievable strong presence appeared..." - he realized who was it. - "Dememoras.... the demon made an avatar of himself to come here!" - The Psyonic could understand what was going on because he knew all what Adykon saw and also because of his knowledge about magic arts.

"Adykon, go help the others! I've got a little surprise that can get us out of here!"

"You're gonna teleport us out?"

"Not yet. We need to get farther away from the palace first." Aerta was correct; like many, Dracon cities and fortresses, the palace that she called home was surrounded by an anti-teleportation field. The party needed to reach a minimum distance away from the structure before they could escape.

"So, what are you planning to do?"

"You'll see! Now, the others need your help, Adykon. Just go, please!"

Adykon turned and ran to help the others. Aerta was still about 100 meters from the nearest enemies, and while a few noticed her, none of them could reach her in time as she lifted off of the ground. A flight spell. She knew it could consume much of her energy, as would the second spell she was about to cast. With the sun to her back, Aerta stretched out her right arm and began to focus the sunlight.

Meanwhile...

Typhon and Dememoras' avatar continued to fight, neither side gaining much ground. Each side matched the other blow for blow, spell for spell, even bite for bite!

(OOC: Noname said i can use toby for this part)

Toby saw that Jake was in trouble, so he swooped down from the sky and attacked the dracon. The dracon was surprised long enough for Jake to lunge and stab his sword through the stomach of the surprised dracon. The dracon staggered a few steps backwards and he toppled over onto the floor. Jake retrieved his sword and he, Rex and Exodar finished off the last remaining soldier. "good thing that's over" said Jake "we better hurry..there may be more..."

"yeah, there will be.." said Rex "we should run"

And with that, that small group went as fast as they could down the road to meet up with the others...

Margas decapitated an enemy soldier with a quick slice then was forced to parry from more soldiers who replaced the others..
ilsa and minna were busy throwing magic at the enemy, but they were using a lot of power to hold them off

Chiletrek · **Reply #8206 on:** September 04, 2010, 03:34:33 PM

The attacks from Minna and Ilsa gave Kelassa enough time to make an attack on a distracted enemy soldier, defeating him by buring her daggers in his neck. But there was no time for even realized that she took a life, she barely had the time to recover her daggers and go between Minna and Ilsa. - "I-I think I can help you, ladies." - the Female Dracon said as she did her best effor to concentrate and use one of her recovery spells to help the mages to recover energies so they can continue the fight.

Herril was doing his best blocking the attacks from the enemies, even if he can read the enemies' minds, he is not yet experienced enough to properly attacks all the incoming enemies, but still, he has been able to kill a modest ammount, feeling lucky that he is unharm.

But Eriol was another story, he was enjoying the thrill of this fight very much. After jumping over the shoulders of an enemy soldier, Eriol used his feet to push himself towards another enemy, using his swords to decapitate him. He then landed and remained crouched, only to make quick circular movements while keeping his arms extended to cut through the legs of at least two enemies. Finally, he standed up again, dodging an incoming attack and placing himself behind the attacker, managing to push him around hard enough so the Panther could use him as a shield against two more enemy soldiers.

The group were nearing where they needed to go but still had a little while to go...

"We should get there soon if we keep running guys" Said Jake as he continued running down the dirt road with the group.

"I hope so" said Exodar...I don't think the others can keep running like this all the way...they'll get way too tired..."

"nah, i won't get tired!" said Rex

"yeah, right..." said Exodar "we'll see"

Aerta's efforts paid off. The spells she had intended to cast powered up. It was a directed sunlight blast, which magnified the light several times over on the eyes of the enemies, but not to any of her allies. The effect was instantaneous, as dozens of dracons dropped their weapons, while clutching their faces in pain. The blinding effect was temporary, though.

Chiletrek · **Reply #8209 on:** September 14, 2010, 08:29:33 PM

The flash of light sent by Aerta was overwhelming, but for the members of the party, it caused no harm, all the contrary: it was a powerful but gentle light. But Herril lost no time. - "Everybody, this is the signal we were waiting for! we must go reach Adykon and Aerta, now!" - Kelassa looked at the Psyonic and nodded as she began to run to where Aerta is.

The light surely caught Eriol's attention. - "This is amazing, magical powers will never cease to amaze me." - he said with a grin as he saw that the enemies were trying to protect themselves from the blinding light. The Panther heared Herril and he nodded and began running as well.

(OOC: Metadude, if your chars are not here in time, assume that they happened to be close enough to the teleportation point and are with the party. The story HAS to proceed.)

Aerta quickly descended. "There's no time. Everyone, head south, and stay within 10 paces of me. Keep running and do not stop unless I do. GO!!"

The group took off to the south, running from the temporarily blinded enemies. It wasn't long before the enemies realized what was happening, though.

Meanwhile...

Typhon kept fighting with his father's Avatar, getting nowhere.

"You've put up a good fight, boy, but you cannot win. You shall tire while I am as strong as ever! Why not surrender now? I promise to make your death a swift, merciful one!"

"Mercy?! The same kind of mercy you showed my grandmother?! You wouldn't know the meaning of the word! "

Nick22 · **Reply #8211 on:** September 14, 2010, 11:24:24 PM

Minna, Ilsa marcus and margas dashed as fast as they could to keep within distance of Aerta ' So you managed to get her out! Well done Adykon! Margas said as they ran. ' " Nows not the time for celebrating.. we can do that once we are safely away from this enemy horde!' iLsa said a few steps behind her husband. she was tired from all her spellcasting, but she would recover. once they were free she ould ask Aerta a few questions.. She had met Aerta once before in the forbidden city..

metadude1234 · **Reply #8212 on:** September 15, 2010, 02:05:34 AM

Jake, Rex, Selturma, Toby and Exodar were still running down the road when they saw a blinding light...
"what was that?!?" yelled Exodar in confusion "that was bright as?!?"

"yeah, that was quiet bright?" replied Rex "But my eyes arn't sore? what the hell?!?"

"come on, something big must have just happened...hurry it up!"

The group picked up it's pace and could see some figures off in the distance

"could that be them?" asked Exodar

Noname · **Reply #8213 on:** September 16, 2010, 05:57:50 PM

Adykon saw Jake and the rest approaching him, not sure how they got there.

"Jake! There's no time to explain! Stay close to us at all times!"

Typhon, for his part, was still fighting his father's avatar, and was unable to rejoin the others. He was injured, as he had been many times before. Each time he wounded his father's form, the injures sealed up within a minute, while his did not.

Nick22 · **Reply #8214 on:** September 16, 2010, 06:35:30 PM

Marcus tried to keep pace with the others as best he could , he know that once that spell wore off they'd have an army chasing after them Marcus turned briefly and noticed that rhiga was just a step behind him, a look of relief spread to his face, they were all accounted for, now the only question was whether they could get away...

metadude1234 · **Reply #8215 on:** September 17, 2010, 03:44:57 AM

The small group that consisted of Jake, Selturma, Rex, Toby and Exodar had heard Adykon and began to sprint as fast as they could to get to the others. They knew that whatever Adykon said to do...it's best that they listen and do as directed...

"just..a...little..further!" yelled Jake as they were all running "we're..almost..there!"

Noname · **Reply #8216 on:** September 17, 2010, 03:49:58 AM

"Aerta, where are going?!" Adykon asked her, keeping a pace or two ahead of her.

"Almost... there. Just a few more meters..."

"What are we going to s-"

"NOW!"

There was a sudden, bright flash of light, accompanied by a "pseoo-shing!" noise, and the party was nowhere to be found. Every one in the adventuring party save Typhon was teleported away from the battlefield.

"-ee. Wait, what?"

Adykon looked around to see, among others, Jake, Toby, Eriol, Herril, Vespion, Rhiga, and all of the rest, as well as an exhausted Aerta. In the distance, the city of Minbenthac was clearly visible. She had gotten them out; they were as close to the city as she could bring them.

Burdock had just sat at the counter of, what he thought he identified as a bar, and thought silently.

That party should be in town soon... But what if their females are as damn hot as all the others? No other rabbit-folk around. I can't work this way.

Noname · **Reply #8218 on:** September 17, 2010, 05:03:50 AM

A female dracon waitress went over to Burdock, and asked him, "Can I take your order?"

(Pic of waitress asking him, in her own alphabet)

Campion1 · **Reply #8219 on:** September 17, 2010, 05:15:44 AM

Burdock had been studying the wood grain on the counter when he heard the waitress, and knew it was best to respond.

"I'll, uh..."

When Burdock went to turn his head to look at the women, his brain almost jerked out of his head from the sight. Unexpectedly, burdock fell down from the stool, staggered up to the ground backwardly, and smacked his back into the wall behind him. He was just left there to stare at her speechlessly, with an obviously surprised look on his face.
