Having moved to a flanking position, Sapphire's blade erupts in to the familiar red-gold flame. Then and in the blink of an eye her magic carries her across the ground, her sword snaking out stabbing at the general's form again and again...

Tired, low on resources and plenty of enemy left, sounds like every longer-term conflict I've ever signed on for! Sapphire laughs briefly Not even a question Corum, my sword and your axe. She nods at Corrleon We swore we'd help end the conflict, nothing else left to talk about, lead on!
Not sure if anyone else is stil being affected but I'm still getting random log outs and have lost posts that I had previously checked had been added >.< Trying to catch up again now etc :s
Sapphire charges the entangled dragonkin
Sapphire sits up and takes ina a massive breath of air, eyes fluttering. She seems to snap back to realising where she is, spares a tired smile for Greyston and mouths 'thanks', before shoving herself upright and scanning the battlefield ready to leap back in to the fray.
Hi everyone, apologies for another quiet few days, serious web rage on the Paizo site front >:/ Back now, able to log in, posts up shortly!
Body soaked in red, Sapphire's lifeblood spatters to the ground, adding more crimson to the already heavily stained snow. Trusting her armor to hold her flesh together for now, she soars upwards towards the white dragonkin with vengeance on her mind, determined to end the threat.

Bah 3rd night trying and I've finally managed to get on the Paizo site without seeing the goblin/computer 'nostore' error! Even now it's taking forever to load pages... Hopefully will get a gameplay post up soon!
Sapphire takes to the air as the power of her own hex surges through her veins. Soaring towards the enemy dragonkin, her blade bursts in to flame once more.

Standing her ground and trusting to her arcane protections, Sapphire's blade darts out at the barbarian, flickering like a gossamer viper, darting in to score wounds on the humanoid's body.

Hi all, apologies for the extended radio silence, with no notice had to fly up to Auckland last week to cover for a colleague and ended up with zero time to myself >.< Back now and normal service will be resumed shortly!
Unable to bridge the distance to her enemy quickly enough, Sapphire instead casts another warding spell as she closes the distance.

No rest and all that... Sapphire shouts over her shoulder as she steps off the parapet, gliding down to the ground. The air around her shimmers as she renews her magical wards and begins jogging across the snow towards the barbarians. Her blade shivers and wraps itself in fire, anticipation of battle causing droplets of flame to spark and curls across the metal.

There is a rush of air moving past Corum as Sapphire moves unseen in to the tower. Surveying Corum's damage she grins My turn then! Her blade shifts form then, the edge completely encased in electricity as she sets to, finesse abandoned as she attempts to wreak as much damage as possible.

Sapphire intones a single word, transforming her body into vibrant lightning and surging through the air, through the hydra still trying to push the tower, and coalescing the other side of the beast, where she begins savagely attacking it, her blade slicing and thrusting.

Noting both the barbarian's arrows and the multiple Hydra heads, Sapphire smiles and waves, before uttering an incantation and completely vanishing from view. Tendrils of mist are scattered and drift apart as something darts through the air towards the tower.

Sapphire looks to Corum and grins I think that would work well actually, hold that thought I'll be right back... She steps off alongside Elleross, floating down to the ground at the same speed as him, blade drawn to ward off anything coming their way. Once Elleross has cast his spell, she'll grab him and fly back up to the top and drop him off safely, then when Corum is ready, the pair will charge the tower.
Siege tower? Right then... Sapphire cleans her blade on the cloak of the barbarian and moves to follow the others Ellri, do you have anything in mind to damage the tower from range before? If I were the attackers and had put a lot of effort in to hiding and assembling it, I'd likely try to make it resistant to the normal things, fire and the like. So my thoughts are... do we have anything we can do to the terrain to make it impassable?
All good humour gone, Sapphire focuses only on the ebb and flow of battle, looking for her opponent to make a mistake.

Frustration mounting that the warrior has yet to fall to her blade, Sapphire redoubles her efforts.

Sapphire grins as she lets the flow of battle fill her, her blade singing a song of war and triumph.

Her blade wreathed itself in flames, Sapphire stabs it towards one of the distant warriors attacking the siege engines and a dart of force leaps outwards, pulling her to him.
She wastes no time and sets to with her blade.

Clear, protect the Western parapets and the siege engines and crew. She meets Greyston's eyes as he hands her the potion. Take care Grey, see you on the other side... She stows the potion in her belt pouch and joins the others running towards their objective, drawing Snowfall and preparing her long-term magical protections.
Sapphire's eyes widen slightly as Greyston flat out shrugs off the friendly approach of both women. Glancing across at Lucrezzia she shrugs There's an old adage about horses and leading them, not that he needs any encouragement to drink... she sighs. All we can do is continue to be there for him, we can't stop him destroying himself, only show him that we'll be there to pick up the pieces, and then maybe he'll realise we're all in this together and he's not alone... She continues down the corridor and decides to try and do the only thing she can to improve Golarion-Triaxian relations by eating and drinking with Zusk.
Surprised when Greyston confronts her in the corridor, Sapphire's answer falters in her throat as she considers whether to tell the alchemist just how similar his behavior was to Corum. As she tries to find the words, mercifully Lucrezzia swoops in and answers for her. Sighing in relief, she nods at the shaman's point. There is wisdom there Greyston, and more importantly, you are among friends. Maybe none of us would have chosen this path if we had a choice, but we don't. All we can do is bear the load together until the journey is done. She snakes an arm through Greyston's as Lucrezzia does likewise. Let us go and sit and talk of other things for a while, soldiers have various games to pass the time and one of my favorites has always been 'the best meal'. So tell me Greyston, in detail, if you could have anything for dinner, any cuisine, any preparation, what would it be?
Sapphire rolls her eyes at both men's behavior. She turns to Zusk and in a desperate attempt to maintain good relations, speaks So it would seem that despite different species, different worlds,
She glances up and down the grizzled triaxian. ...err no offence intended, as I said I'm not great with words, I usually let my blade speak for me... kind of a drawback when trying to talk of peace... She smiles So what else is shared between our worlds I wonder? Is there perhaps a tavern or meeting hall where warriors go to relax and imbibe beverages that might lightly intoxicate them? Just wondering whether than might soothe the savage breast or whether it would add fuel to the fire... what are your thoughts?
Sapphire grimaces and nods at Corum and Greyston's words. It's as they say, the magic that pulls at us needs us to make progress. Have a think, is there anything that we can do that will end this quickly for you? She taps a finger on her lips as she thinks Destroy their supplies? Target their leadership? Threaten another location so they have to leave? There must be something that would make them break the siege!
Sapphire glances up as the conversation stalls somewhat. I am Sapphire, and I'm a warrior not a diplomat, I hope you'll forgive any bluntness, I'm no wordsmith like Ellri here... She nods respectfully to the wizard. Being a warrior, things are often simple, there is an 'us' and a 'them', there are 'those we protect' and 'those we oppose'. She pauses nervously, trying to catch the eyes of some of those in the chamber that have the stance of veteran combatants. It seems to me that we're from different, alien cultures. As such our motivations might seem strange to you, oft times they are strange to us too... my point is that beyond the whys and wherefores, we have something we are seeking, and we mean you no harm. She brings a hand up to rub the bridge of her nose as she closes her eyes momentarily, the other hand resting on her black blade. I propose we offer you assistance in whatever way we can, we are a diverse group with many skills, and in return, as long as it doesn't cause inconvenience or otherwise to you and yours, you help us with what we need. She tries a smile I think my old weapons and strategy tutor would call it a 'marriage of convenience'. In any case, we find ourselves strangers in a strange land, but we're here to make friends, not more enemies. Tell us, how can we help you?
Though she is simply half-listening as those with more cultured manners work their magic with the new strangers, even Sapphire's attention is drawn to Greyston's outburst. She puts the whetstone away and stands, stretching, before sitting closer at hand and pretending to concentrate on reading her spellbook.
Some of us do not speak the lingua draconis as it were... Sapphire addresses Corrleon in common Therefore please forgive us for not talking to you more. She nods in a militaristic fashion, before adopting a cross-legged posture and bringing out a whetstone to sharpen the edge of her black sword.
Sapphire wakes and stretches, looking irritated at her impromptu pillow as she reluctantly flips open the pages and studies them for a while.
Sapphire glances around the room, before dropping her pack and stretching out on a cot. She drags out her spellbook with a determined look in her eyes, but after five minutes of tossing and turning she jams it under her head to use as a pillow and follows Corum's example, curling up like a cat and drifting off almost immediately. You get the distinct feeling that her blade is still watching however...
It's kind of you to welcome us, thank you Replies Sapphire, simple words, warrior to warrior. She leads the way to the guest quarters.
Turning to face Greyston, Sapphire's whole body, even her streaming hair moves as if through treacle, then as she opens her mouth to respond everything snaps back to normal speed. She shudders That was not an experience I care to ever repeat... yes Grey, let us move quickly before reinforcements arrive...
Sapphire holds her action.
Continuing to move sluggishly, Sapphire finally manages to get next to the attacking dragon.
Sapphire grits her teeth as the electricity arcs through her, swearing under her breath abour her choice of spells to memorise this morning didn;t include eany ranged options, she continues to fly towards the dragonrider.
Sapphire continues to drift rather than fly with any impetus, a snarl of frustration is etched on her face as she turns to regard the new threat in the form of the dragonrider.
Sapphire soars towards the enemy, the very air dragging at her clothes and weighing her down.
Swearing under her breath, Sapphire casts blur and draws her blade ready to fight.
Nodding at Ellri's suggestion, Sapphire smiles Invisible is a good idea, and day means we can see what we're doing.
She'll make ready and is good to go after the group rests.
