"Ok, first off, what are you afraid of?"
"It's all stuff from my childhood. I've forgotten what I used to be afraid, though I know it all seemed really serious to me at the time."
"Huh, ok then, so, which way we going, chief?" He holds on to tyb's rope.
Before Yrrin has a chance to attack the demon, she brings several of her weapons to strike the elf who dared attempt to harm her. The bloody blade, frozen mace, spiked shield and wicked axe are all brought to bear on Ehos.
** spoiler omitted **
She then hefts her spear and throws it at the fleeing half-gnoll, pinning his shoulder to the far wall, as her whip strikes out and trips up Damaris dragging her to the ground. Her tail then coils around one of the other summoners, and starts to the squeeze the life out of him.
The Paladin stops fighting defensively and unleashes his righteous rage... focusing positive energy into the elf's body (healing him even beyond death,(no negative level) and stands between the Maralith and its victim.
"Your time is numbered demon spawned coward, Fight me and Die"His aura flares brighter and the holy energy in his blood splatters the demon, burning like holy water
Yrrin's first blow fails to bypass the defenses of the fiend, but the blast of force rocks the demoness. When Phaez unleashes his physic assault, a faint purplish glow surrounds her head and its obvious the power has no affect on the Marilith.
Ehos starts back into life, taking a breath and his eyes open. For a few moments, he looks confused, and his mouth forms a few words, though no sounds emerge. Skilled lip readers would see him say 'Centuries... Claim', and then a hand goes to his head. Obviously in no condition to fight at that moment, but at least alive.
For now.
"Well, there's not point fretting about it now. We have a long way to walk, either way. We ought to get started." Tyrrin says calmly, bending down to pull her boots up a little, making sure they fit snugly.
"Do you smell anything, Jeran?" she asks their Lycan teammate.
Seeing a pillar of smoke rising from the town, Vai's wings beat hard, and they rocket through the sky at remarkable pace... but they are still some distance away...
Midori drags Hew-kun along and with Zilla-chan they go into the youngster's cafeteria. "Ano... Zilla-chan, why is Tryko'Sam cute?" she asks, sounding a bit naive, as if it were easy to quantify what you liked about people. They line up to get some bento boxes... lunch boxes.
"If we're gonna fight.. I wish I had some of my old clothes back, I can't move as well in this." she plucks at the fabric of her pants.
Ardiente naps happily, the kiln's heat putting him at ease and relaxing him, even as it fired clay. He is blissfully unaware of the chaos going on in the nearby town, and even his dreams are free of nightmares.
Fieri had a small fireproofed cot in here... perfect for naps. He could get used to this.
"Up the mountain, Dave. We're looking for an entrance. Speaking of looking, did your dreams ave any knowledge useful for this trip?"
Seeing a pillar of smoke rising from the town, Vai's wings beat hard, and they rocket through the sky at remarkable pace... but they are still some distance away...
Dom looks over the smoke pillar. "Oh no." He gasps. Tamina could feel a tear drop on her shoulder. "All this because of someone wanting power." He tensed his arms around Tami holding her firm but not causing her pain.
While the conflict in Kuros was underway, not too far from the Warehouse in question, some of the local shops and the like were reacting to the nightmarish event unfolding!
With points and screams by nameless others, through the horrific cries and cheers while stalwart elves struck multi-armed demons, and noble paladins endeavored to defend life, a single voice breaks out down the road...
Fei appears near the warehouse district of Kuros. His stance immediately drops as he gets his bearings and tries to pinpoint the threat to the town...
"FIRE!!! FIRE!!!" Sure enough, in the distance, one of the shops was engulfed in flames...
At those words, the young monk snaps around and races for the burning shop. If the flames went unchecked, the whole block (and everyone in it) would burn to the ground...
Dave starts sniffing around as well "uh I assume you were talking to her, my dreams aren't typically prophetic, I mean occasionally i get a message from my goddess, but not prophasies, though if they are that one with the noodle is a whole new level of weird..." He seems to zone out somewhat, he soon shudders.
Ghalen, upon arrival, un-shoulders his rifle, and begins scanning the environment around them, looking for heat signatures of any creatures that may be lying in ambush, then checking UV bands. Ain;t technology grand? He activates a motion detector, the others hearing a semi audible thump every second...

::Has He relented?::
One of his clones keeps an eye on Midori, shadowing and watching from invisibility...not taking any extra steps to remain unobserved.
"Yes.. I had dreams, but they were... fractured at best. Some I do not remember at the moment." Tyrrin says, closing her eyes to try and recall the dreams which had come to hear two nights previous.
Her eyes snap open, glowing blue, and her voice is an uninflected monotone. Others in the group get psychic glimpes of the scenes she is describing. Flashes really, barely distinguishable. Ghalen may recognize this, she did it once before on their first date. "A long piece of ice, writhing like a snake with fire coursing down it's back. A bright green emerald that beats like a heart. A raven with icy blue eyes. A plain box made of black wood." Tyrrin's eyes close again, and she shakes her head, momentarily disoriented. She even stumbles slightly in the snow. "I... I did it again didn't I, Ghalen?" she puts a hand to her forehead, trying to regain her balance. "Well, the focus is helping, somewhat."
Catches her as she stumbles.
"It would seem so. You're getting better at it."
She senses a bit of worry in his voice.
"Dibs on the green shiny."
He states simply. Its hard to tell if he is joking or not.
"I have many, but i will not ask them. Ehehe, ephebe... i think I'll like you. So, um...
Are there any other agaricans here? Or am i still the only one?"
her voice shows a tinge of pain through her ever-cheery disposition.
"You're the only agarican I've ever met. We'll have to inform the infirmary of your biological needs so that they can treat you properly should you become injured."
"It's fine, Lang." He looks immensely tired. "It's difficult to talk about. Some of the wounds are still too fresh. At some point we can explain more thoroughly. For now, this is what needs to happen."lang listens to her words then turns to Sorchan.
I'm sorry I only wanted to offer another view, but you are correct about lacking information. Please accept my apologies and I beg your forgiveness.
Perhaps when this is all over we can sit and you can teach me all about your people and their traditions old and new Lang seems genuinely interested in learning about Firebirds
he glances towards ignace as he makes the request.
"I think that's an excellent idea."
"Alright, we're nearing the area. The shuttle is going to hover as well as it can while you four get out and fly to the air vent you've identified on your map, Lang. Good luck and be careful."
"Hang on, Mi-chan! I need to go get some supplies, and we should all at least take enough food for lunch, ne? Plus, I want to ask Michael if he can come with as well...How about we meet at the doors in fifteen minutes?"Midori screeches to a halt quite suddenly after taking off, heeding her senpai's words. "Oh... right. Hai! Ano... Okay. Zilla-chan, Hew-kun, let's go! We'll get some lunch and a few bottles of water and..." whatever pensive mood Midori was in, something in the last few minutes dispelled it, and now she's raring to go. Without thinking, she returns to Hew-kun and takes his hand, 'dragging' him behind her, off to the cafeteria to get the needed supplies.
Kitty couldn't help but smile at Midori's enthusiasm and headed off using the arrows to locate Michael.
"Well, this is a school, so you should have no lack of qualified applicants for such," she said, smiling back. "And this is the ideal location due to the unique properties of the library here."Salis smirked for a second. "It takes more than just brains to be qualified, but this library would be perfect or dangerous. Depending on certian elements." Salis smiled knowing that his reply could stir up more questions."
She frowned, confused. "If you are from an order that preserves knowledge....or oh, right...hides knowledge that shouldn't be found? I'm not sure I entirely understand."
"Yay." She says simply, falling for his ploy quite easily.
:)
She gathers the things there and sets off to find Chara.Chara is roller skating through the halls. She has pillows tied all over her body to try and minimize the damage if she falls down.
"Hi, Sara!" :)
"Hi." :)
She says deciding that whoever let her do this new what they were doing so it must be safe.
"We got snacks." She says on Chara's next pass.
"Oh, good, I'm hungry!" she said, stopping in front of Sara and Sun.
"Do you know how to roller skate, Sara? It's my favorite thing to do."
"I see. Well, let me show you something."
she jumps from the chair unto ephebe's desk, and points to her mushroom hat.
"You probobly can't see it from up there, but this is actually growing out of my head. I am a fungus- i live underneath this kobold's skin, inhabiting his mind as a parasite. My spores infect people. We don't exactly try to kill people- we don't exist until we do. See, people treat us as nothing more then a disease. And while it's true that one of us actively tried to infect others, that is far from true for all of us... Well, me. I'm the only one left."
her smile actually fades for a moment, and for a brief second, she drops silent before her smile returns.
"I cover every nerve in this body, and control it a little like a puppet. My heart runs rather slowly, and my blood is a purple-blue, until i bleed. Fungus often spreads out of my skin, but i scrape that off. Hurts like heck, but keeps me looking normal."
Turning to Melody he says "Nah, we're fine. We got us a dragon, a badass monk who laughs at death and an elven princess. We so have this battle already won" He says with a laugh and then steps a paces away so he can teleport to Kuros.melody's smile drops a bit
Oh... well okay. she sits back down waiting for Ginni to show her what to do about this problem.
"Alright, are you reassured enough about Tami and any other distractions you can think of?" Ginni asked with a knowing smile. "It's okay, this isn't anything bad. It's just a matter of learning how to take control of your own mind. It's pretty painless."
"Alright, are you reassured enough about Tami and any other distractions you can think of?" Ginni asked with a knowing smile. "It's okay, this isn't anything bad. It's just a matter of learning how to take control of your own mind. It's pretty painless."
Yeah I guess so, I still want to find out more about Tami though, I'll just ask her. but please don't tell Dom I was asking.
"Well, there's not point fretting about it now. We have a long way to walk, either way. We ought to get started." Tyrrin says calmly, bending down to pull her boots up a little, making sure they fit snugly.
"Do you smell anything, Jeran?" she asks their Lycan teammate.
::Snow. And you guys. The wind keeps changing direction. It limits how far I can smell anything.::
"Is that what those are?" She says which pretty much answers the question. She crouches down and looks at the wheel shoes.
"Are these for getting things done faster?"
Lang stands by the shuttle opening feeling the heat all around and instictivly he starts to redirect the air flow away to maintain the temperature as reasonable as possible.
without any real concious thought he takes hold of Ignace's hand and then looks to Grim and puts his other hand on his should, figuring it isn't very manly to hold hands with another guy.
he looks to everyone takes a real deep breath ready
Sees Ephebe relax
::Has He relented?::
::Yes, for now. I wouldn't try to use any of my time powers right now, though. He can be vindictive when he doesn't get his way.::
One of his clones keeps an eye on Midori, shadowing and watching from invisibility...not taking any extra steps to remain unobserved.
"You brought breakfast," she said, smiling. "How thoughtful."
She stood up and walked over and kissed him briefly on the cheek. And then stepped away abruptly, her heart pounding for all the wrong reasons.
"I see. Well, let me show you something."
she jumps from the chair unto ephebe's desk, and points to her mushroom hat.

"I can see where that would lead to some misunderstandings. Well, as long as you aren't infecting any unwilling person, then we will protect you here. I'll pass on this information to the infirmary....do you respond in a good way to positive energy? Or is it dangerous to you?"
"Um... I don't know. Never actually heard of that, or at least the term."
"Alright, are you reassured enough about Tami and any other distractions you can think of?" Ginni asked with a knowing smile. "It's okay, this isn't anything bad. It's just a matter of learning how to take control of your own mind. It's pretty painless."Yeah I guess so, I still want to find out more about Tami though, I'll just ask her. but please don't tell Dom I was asking.
"Well, you can get to know Tami better at girls night tonight if you want," Ginni offered. "That's part of the fun of girls night."
"As for the other, You need to focus on your own mind. Sometimes it helps to close your eyes. Try to gather all of the thoughts that are clearly yours together to leave a sort of blank spot. You can think of it as a road or a river or really anything that goes through your mind but isn't part of it..."
"Is that what those are?" She says which pretty much answers the question. She crouches down and looks at the wheel shoes.
"Are these for getting things done faster?"
"Yep, these are roller skates. They help you get places faster. I think it's fun being able to go so fast. Would you like to try?"
Lang stands by the shuttle opening feeling the heat all around and instictivly he starts to redirect the air flow away to maintain the temperature as reasonable as possible.
without any real concious thought he takes hold of Ignace's hand and then looks to Grim and puts his other hand on his should, figuring it isn't very manly to hold hands with another guy.
he looks to everyone takes a real deep breath ready
"You have to let go of my hand, Lang," Ignace whispers loudly. "I can't fly without my wings."
"Um... I don't know. Never actually heard of that, or at least the term."
"Positive energy is what healing spells are composed of. Have you ever had someone cast a healing spell on you?"
"No, not really."
As the elf stirs, Yrrin's voice is calm and reassuring, "I shall protect you..."
the blood stream dripping through his armor is steady and he has lost quite a bit of blood
"You brought breakfast," she said, smiling. "How thoughtful."She stood up and walked over and kissed him briefly on the cheek. And then stepped away abruptly, her heart pounding for all the wrong reasons.
He looks simultaneously suprised and very happy at her forwardness...but also with a wee bit of concern.
"Well, I obviously need to do this more often..." He says with a smile."I didn't know if you'd want to eat these here or out in the garden..."
"You have to let go of my hand, Lang," Ignace whispers loudly. "I can't fly without my wings."Lang stands by the shuttle opening feeling the heat all around and instictivly he starts to redirect the air flow away to maintain the temperature as reasonable as possible.

Lang look a little embarrased I'm sorry, just a little nervous
He tries to smile at her, in an attempt to hide his fears. as he lets go.
I never seen her with her wings before. I would love to fly with her sometime. just around the schools grounds that would be Awesome
when the signal is given and the vent is in sight Lang takes another breath and takes a leap of faith trusing his bending more so now than ever before.
Grim You can carry the maps. we may need them to find another way out if something should happen
The thinner air requires more concentration than usual it takes just about everything he has to control the air currents around him and to bear the extra weight of the waterskins he is carrying.
Looks a little apprehensive when the kobold explains what she is. Many a kobold had succumbed to such a malady.
"She'd probably need a spell that heals plants, If I could hazard a guess..."
"No, not really."
"Okay, well, hold out your hand. I'm not willing to risk your health by hitting you with a healing spell, but I'm going to prick my finger and let the blood drip on you. It's not enough to provide actual healing, or harm if you're not okay with positive energy, but I'm partly made of positive energy so if it stings we'll know positive energy is bad for you."
"Yep, these are roller skates. They help you get places faster. I think it's fun being able to go so fast. Would you like to try?""Is that what those are?" She says which pretty much answers the question. She crouches down and looks at the wheel shoes.
"Are these for getting things done faster?"
Sun looks to both Chara and Sara.
I do! I am the best roller wheel walker skater thing in the whole sky Temple. He says with pride.
besides it isn't flying or climbing and everything remains firmly on the ground right?
Looks a little apprehensive when the kobold explains what she is. Many a kobold had succumbed to such a malady.
"She'd probably need a spell that heals plants, If I could hazard a guess..."
She nodded. "Yes, normal cure should work for that, but since the plants inhabit a dead host I'm not entirely sure without some kind of test."
