Lynora-Jill sputters indignantly as she is thrown into the tent. Hey! It's not like I'm totally helpless. I can help, darn it. Oh, she realizes that JH has been hurt and quickly casts an appropriate healing spell. (Not sure if it would be cure moderate or repair moderate, what with the earth powers and all.)
Malice Jack |
Plantjack snatches Lynora and JH, before they can stop him, and tosses them into the tent. He turns to the dwarf and MJ.
"Come, you two! Kobold Cleaver can handle this!"
Malice looks up at the animate houseplant
Now look here Seymour. I don't just run from a fight. What is going on here?

KC blasts the wolf again, but the wolf is unharmed. It leaps, about three meters away. KC staggers, as if the wolf had not missed. He fires again, but it fizzles as he trips and falls. The wolf goes in for the kill. KC somehow manages to hit the wolf, which staggers back.
Nobody interfere here, 'kay? If they try to, Plant will hold them back.

Plantjack sighs.
"Trust me, you fool! This fight is beyond us!"He grabs MJ and throws him into the tent. He leaps in after.
"Seal the door."

KC leaps up, and grabs his staff. He twirls it in his adept hands.
"I need no magic to kill you!" He shouts angrily.
The wolf howls, and KC's image is distorted. He is blasted back, into the tent.

Upon hitting the tent, Kobold Cleaver explodes. A glow appears, the glow of the soul retreating to the phylactery. The wolf suddenly looks up, and howls.
The Wasp appears. Before he can react, the raven snatches the cleaver. And brings it down on the hard floor.
It is not destroyed. It is too powerful. But then, the raven speaks words of magic, and...
...nothing happens. But then, a screaming starts. The screaming of a dying soul. The raven smiles, and turns to the tent.
"It is done. The kobold is finally destroyed. Long has he clung to life, selfishly, foolishly. But no longer. He is dead, and with him dies your greatest ally!"
The raven disappears, along with the wolf.
....
.....
Dun. Dun. Dun.

Seeing the kobold's demise, a tear trickles down her cheek. I know he betrayed me, well all of us really, but he still didn't deserve to die like that. If he'd only listened to his own advice and let us help him...
"...you would have been killed alongside him. That thing was powerful. I've never felt anything like it."

If that thing is working with our enemies, I would not have been harmed. Unless it's a total idiot, in which case I'd be dead, but you'd all be much, much safer.

WJ speaks the command and the tent flap appears. It is surreal, staring at a tent flap with no visible tent.
Mistress, *the dwarf doesn't correct himself this time*, it would please me much if you would accept some protection. Especially if you are going to throw yourself in harm's way. These bracers will protect you as if you were in full armor. They can store your energy and release it as you direct. They have seen war before and have not failed their masters or mistresses.
The dwarf wipes a layer of dust off of a rosewood box embossed with a scene of celestials and demons at war. Inside is a set of bracers every bit as detailed as JH's hammer. One a lion's head and neck, the other an eagle's.
Your arms slip thru the throats there.
Sorry sir, I never said where the inspiration for your hammer came from.

The dwarf signals you to raise your arms, and mutters in a strange but partly familiar tongue
Yes. It will pass. These are Leaena and Aquila.
When LJ raises her arms the heads on the bracers spring to life. The lion head changes to that of a female lioness, and the eagle's head changes slightly. It is strange seeing your hands coming out of the mouths of the two sky metal beasts. They begin to roar and screech, oblivious to the arms in their throats.
JH's hammer springs to life to answer in kind, startling him.
After a brief moment they stop and become metal once again.

Warforged Jack wrote:Oh. That's not normal? Huh. Is there anything special I should know about them?The bracers are removable if you wish. Too long without your touch though and they might get moody.
It seems as if you fully awakened them. That has not happened in a very long time.
The liquid magic works differently with each person, as do the bracers. They shape their powers from you. And your needs. For example, in the Battle for Hell's Forge they formed a shield to protect the hero Therius from a blade of fire, wielded by a Balrog.
I do not know why the bracers and JH's hammer responded to each other so strongly. I suppose... the dwarfs' face turns beet red

It will be interesting to see what they do then, she says, trying to delicately steer the conversation away from a subject that the dwarf clearly finds embarrassing.
Would you like some tequila?Warforged Jack |

Thank you but I think I need a shot of Slag. It is something we smiths drink on special occasions. It's very potent, but I can pour you all some as well.

Thank you. I think I would like some. Turns to JH If I pass out, the lipstick of sobriety is tucked into my bra. Just in case you need to revive me quickly.

Lynora-Jill wakes up/comes to with a miserable headache. One quick 'neutralize poison' later, and she feels much better. She tries to get up and realizes that her wing is pinned under JH's arm. She gently pulls it free. Ugh. She really feels the need for a shower. And a change of clothes. She heads to her room and grabs a quick shower and a change of clothes. After all that rest, she doesn't feel like sitting around all night. Definitely time to go to the club.
