"What? You didn't think I was actually going to try and stop them did you? It would be counterproductive for me."
"Honestly? I was hoping you'd do something. You seem quite arrogant for someone who is also all talk so far."
::Who is Taron? How is he going to blow up Agartha? Is this lycan group or the Blow-Up-Agartha the more serious threat?::
Jim will collect as many statues as he can into his chest, and move onto another wall, even though it seems useless.
"What? You didn't think I was actually going to try and stop them did you? It would be counterproductive for me.""Honestly? I was hoping you'd do something. You seem quite arrogant for someone who is also all talk so far."
Keme shrugged. "Talk is what I do best. Way I figure it, you're using these statues to power your spell somehow, and I'm not really the helping type. I have nothing to prove to you or anyone. I'm just along for the ride."
::Don't give up Ephebe!! Taron wouldn't just kill millions of sentients, would he? How would anyone miss that? He must have something else planned...your brother maybe the worlds biggest dick, but he's not evil...what would he have done? think!!::
"Well, you're smarter than I thought at least. Good guess on the statues though, pretty close to what they really do."
Vai feels a jolt of the sadness Ephebe is experiencing. I have to get to her. I have to go now. Try not to panic. Just focus. Aehythrax could teleport. Just try it. "Krays, grab hold of me!" Vai's focuses and waits for Krays' hand before enunciating several words and the pair vanish, appearing next to Ephebe. Nausea from the teleportation floods Vai, and she doubles-over, trying not to vomit.
Ephebe bit her lip, wracking her brain. ::The Club? No, too public....he has to have a hidey hole....somewhere off world...::
When he sees Ephebe, he immediately shifts to his human form and holds her...
Jim calls telepathically to his homunculus, telling it to get back into his chest. The little thing climbs up his body, opens his chest by itelf, hops in, and closes it behind itself.
** spoiler omitted **
When he sees Ephebe, he immediately shifts to his human form and holds her...
She holds onto him tightly as the sobs start and won't stop.
After several moments of nausea, Vai straightens. "I'm... not used to that." Vai looks at Krays' human form, slightly shocked. Ooohhhh. Polymorphing. "Ephebe, where is your Mom? Or your Dad? Can't they help?"
[i]Taking a deep breath, Taron pulls his key out from inside his shirt and opens the first portal. Going through it leads to a small and nice house on the Elemental Plane of Air.
Enre roars at the the Lycans after they attack. He than puts his sword to his face once more, making the blade seem to move. He than goes to on the attack.
::I definitely think the planet is the worst case, but I don't know what's happening! We need to find Ephebe's brother.::
Khassar goes over to his portable hole and pulls out the bottle of Geshperian single malt. He starts drinking and folding up the hole.
"Oh well if it really is the end of the world no sense in wasting good booze."
Hearing that the fight he is listening to involves many animalistic sounds and is most likely where the lycans are, Phaezeriel heads towards where the rhythmic pounding just stopped sounding hoping that is where the other crisis is.
Again to Vai and Ephebe, ::I am skilled with magic and the powers of the mind. Where are you? Perhaps I can help.::
Being a very fast flyer, Phaezeriel finally finds the room where Jim is struggling with statues as he finishes speaking, and swoops in to see Jim trying to bypass the walls of force.
Telepathically to Jim, ::Jim, this is Phaezeriel, do you want me to bring down those walls of force?::
Ephebe was glad that telepathy was still possible while crying.
::Mom. Dad. Taron's going to blow up Agartha any second now and I don't know how to stop him.::
Aananda had a moment where her brain just couldn't process the message. She didn't want to believe it.
::Mother, Ryo, can either of you tell me where Taron is right this moment?::
*checks crystal that should show Taron*
For Vai:
Krays' human form is about 5' 10", kind of pale skin, bright green eyes, and close cropped black hair
The chorus of cheers and howls became confused as lycans began arguing among each other. The end result seemed to be a general determination to just crush everything and an all out free-for-all soon broke out, with lycans first striking out at anyone who wasn't one of them.
"Well that wasn't exactly what I was going for..."
Reassumes his were-mole form, and defends Gustav"A mass charm might be needed by the art room, hon..." Ryuzo's clone says to Nala suddenly
Jim feels a small small explosion go off inside the bag, but nothing seems to happens.
Growling as the lycans as he pushes forward Enre keeps up his assault on the lycans.
*checks crystal that should show Taron*
Something is interfering with the crystal's magic. The only thing Ryleh can see is a faint outline in a lot of static.
As he feels something explode inside him, he'll take a look. Seeing one of the statues missing, he'll smash another against the wall of force he's now thinking of pummeling.
I think we can get rid of the energy by destroying these statues!
::Ugn. My cards can't even give me a general location. It's like he's not on Agartha at all.::
*blink blink*
::What if he's not on Agartha?::
::There's something interfering with the signal,:: Ryleh says, concerned.
::Ugn. My cards can't even give me a general location. It's like he's not on Agartha at all.::
*blink blink*
::What if he's not on Agartha?::
::He's gone off-world before. Remember the trip that put him and James in the infirmary?::
::Mom. Dad. Taron's going to blow up Agartha any second now and I don't know how to stop him.::
** spoiler omitted **
::How can he do that? Even if i took myself out in the process I couldn't blow up a planet. Are you sure he's not going to just un-mask it?::
::Wait, wasn't there a place he went where he brought people back from? Some other kids, he introduced us to them...do you remember where that was?::
::Mom. Dad. Taron's going to blow up Agartha any second now and I don't know how to stop him.::

Nala runs to make it the rest of the way to the fracas.
There is no way a charm is going to do anything in this mess, she thinks to herself.
Nala casts mass suggestion on the lycans telling them to, "Sit down and shut up!"
About a dozen lycans near the edge of the fight do just that.
::He's gone off-world before. Remember the trip that put him and James in the infirmary?::
::Yes. I know they couldn't go to Ephebe directly from Agartha, but where did they go?::
His moley-face beams a smile at Nala, and he moves to protect her as well
"Hi, honey."
His other clone and another appear next to him, ready to fight
::How can he do that? Even if i took myself out in the process I couldn't blow up a planet. Are you sure he's not going to just un-mask it?::
::Wait, wasn't there a place he went where he brought people back from? Some other kids, he introduced us to them...do you remember where that was?::
::Well, that wasn't how things were phrased....And remember he's an amethyst dragon which means he can tap into the magic that created and sustains this world. That he learned how to use it is more disturbing.::
::And that's the Club I was talking about. I've been there before, but it's a very public place, not the sort of place you would want to be running a ritual from that takes a lot of concentration.::
As he feels something explode inside him, he'll take a look. Seeing one of the statues missing, he'll smash another against the wall of force he's now thinking of pummeling.
I think we can get rid of the energy by destroying these statues!
Phaezeriel will cast disintegrate at the Wall of force. Using his class ability to apply a free metamagic feat to it he will Twin it and target both remaining walls of force.
The lycans that weren't effected by Nala's spell in the near vicinity growl at her and move to attack.
Meanwhile, Jeran is barely holding his own against the totem spirit. Fei can recognizer that Jeran is a master martial artist using a combination of different styles, but the monster in front of him is too much. In spite of his skill he's taking a lot of damage.
::Well, would it stand to reason that if one can undo it, 3 or 4 can stop him? Sorry, I know I'm just grasping at straws here.::
