Very good, little marble. And now the rest have learnt immunity to anti-magic, and will redouble, and multiply, and come at you again.
Apparently you've fallen behind on your reading since you left the servants of the boards.
I am a lord of dreams. However, I'm nothing if not pragmatic, and if you make me an offer tempting enough I might fall in with you.
You're a blackguard these days, I gather, my lady is a blackguard. Sure we could fight, or we could negotiate towards our common interest.
E7 lands and advances towards IB, his eyes glowing white against his flowing green manform. He wields a sword of fire and another of white light. Undead find themselves unable to approach.
Animals of every shape and size rally around him, engaging in single or mass attacks on the Army of the Damned.

Kobold Cleaver sighs.
"I needed to see how vulnerable they were to anti-magic. It was a gamble I lost."Now, what's this deal? I am willing to bargain."
Three of the starhawks go down from the dracolich's attack. Another three fly in to take their place. They attempt to infect the dracoliches with a spark of life using reality revision.
With the threat diminished and reinforcements cut off for the moment JH turns his attention to the small kobold revealed in the center of the circle. He approaches cautiously, as the dwarves and avians continue fighting the skeletons.

"I see," she says sadly. "I hadn't realized."
She continues to fire her bow, but prepares to move once the second strike has finished.
More vines wrap Beren as HT continues the attack. Eventually vines erupt from within the Bear Lord's body itself.Meepo glares.
"You're mine, tree."
He charges, firing his machine gun at the tree.
The bullets strike true, but the holes do not bleed. Holes appear upon Beren, and they bleed profusely.
A squad of celestial eagles circles and dive-bombs one of the dracoliches.
The pair who attack the portal have, for a moment, a glimpse through it of a vast cavern with thousands more of the skeletons advancing towards the portal, and then the portal slams shut, and every reddish smeared skeleton on the battlefield explodes, driving shards of bone which corrode away into toxic sludge into everything within fifty feet of them.
Waves of dwarven warriors are felled by the blast. Rocksplitter falls dead, and Jorel is knocked to the ground.

Meepo glares.
"Not bad. I'm about you hit you with positive energy, so you just tell me when it hurts, 'kay?"The bullets turn to pure positive energy as Meepo fires. They will not harm Beren, simply looping around to hit Hangman again if they miss or go through him.

HT does manage a smile
We have wards against that type of thing too, fool.
Vines erupt around MUM, and attempt to entangle him. The thorns upon the vines lengthen, as if drawn to his blood.
Djuhah continues to pour healing magic into Spring Sapling, starting to panic a little.
"The Star Song asked me to look out for you. I don't seem to be doing a very good job. My apologies, lady."
My exit from the Realm of Dreams with my army was not entirely unremarked upon... there were some personages quite bitter about the manner in which I absconded with my army after receiving a hefty bribe to do so from some of their enemies. The fact that they had neglected to pay me on time for the third century in a row was something which they didn't seem to consider mattered.
I'm looking to establish a stronghold somewhere in these parts, where I can watch my back against any assassins or other agents that are sent after me from the Realms of Dream.
If you can recommend any places in these parts where we might set up, and could assist us in clearing out any current occupants that would be useful.
And if you have any particular enemies you'd like us to harrass for the next month or so, we would certainly be happy to do so.
As JH approaches the kobold shaman, the shaman disappears. He reappears next to Jay Frogskin, and asks 'Join us?'.

"The Palace of Skulls may be suitable. If not, then try the old stronghold of these villains."
As JH approaches the kobold shaman, the shaman disappears. He reappears next to Jay Frogskin, and asks 'Join us?'.
"Who are you?"
A sleek black mole with a fiendish look to its eyes suddenly pops up out of the ground, a dagger clenched between it's teeth.
The woman bends down and retrieves the blade.
Oh look, it's the knife which that harlequin dropped....
More vines wrap Beren as HT continues the attack. Eventually vines erupt from within the Bear Lord's body itself.
The bear lets out an anguished cry and falls
And who would you be interested in having harrassed?

Windwalker races aboard his eagle to Jorel, picking him up and hurrying him to the healing tents.
And who would you be interested in having harrassed?
"I would appreciate it if you would aid the fight against Innocent Blood and her armies. No others, please. Also, why don't you just send all your spells at your soldiers first? It would make more sense, making them practically invulnerable. If what you say is true."
We are you. Join with us?As JH approaches the kobold shaman, the shaman disappears. He reappears next to Jay Frogskin, and asks 'Join us?'."Who are you?"
Frogskin hesitates. Then he shakes his head.
"I can't. My friends need me."
Mirathan leaps from the Tsar's back and stands over Nimora's body. he bends to retrieve his crossbow.
You'll feel this, beast.
With us you'll never be alone...We are you. Join with us?As JH approaches the kobold shaman, the shaman disappears. He reappears next to Jay Frogskin, and asks 'Join us?'."Who are you?"Frogskin hesitates. Then he shakes his head.
"I can't. My friends need me."
"No. Kobold Cleaver needs me. He's weak, he needs to see reason."
Mirathan assails the Tsar with his daggers, oblivious to the fact that they have no affect. There are no wood elves alive in the Tsar's sword reach.There is a flash of light as The Bard appears in front of The Steel Tsar, deflecting an attack that would have killed Mirathan.
"Remember me?"
The Steel Tsar riposes, jarring the Bard. The energy of the sword is immensly powerful. The three gems on The Steel Tsar's helm glow like small stars. His flaming red eyes bore into the Bard
The Steel Tsar hews at the Bard, then jinks his sword at Mirathan at the last moment
Ohh, very wily, but sadly I learned long ago, from hard experience, that magic is best preserved to protect oneself and one's lady-love, first and foremost, ahead of helping others.
Soldiers can generally be replaced.
Scars, upto a certain point, can be attractive, but beyond that they only reduce one's natural charms and handsome appearance.
The blast partially pushes thru the wards on HT, and his braches and vines sizzle as if they were aflame.
As he screams in pain, spores shoot from his mouth to MUM and Esmeralda.
Spring Sapling falls to the trampled earth. Her elk mount nuzzles her prostrate form
Turns towards the battle btwn IB and the Army of Life. He spots the Tsar and heads across the field.
Examining the dagger.
Somebody seems to have been screwing around with fate.
This dagger's currently supposed to be in the heart of someone called Lynora-Jill.

Esmerelda, with some difficulty, blocks the attack. A bit hits her, but she manages to protect Meepo. She sends forth another blast of positive energy, mixed with some force to damage the barrier.

E7 pauses in his approach, just before reaching his target.
Aaaaahhh!

Kobold Cleaver nods.
"Might I send it there?"
Harlequins have a habit of messing around with things like destinies, dear. They have a limited writ to do so.

As he screams in pain, spores shoot from his mouth to MUM and Esmeralda.
The vines surrounding them burst into full flame, searing them with its evil. HT laughs as he is consumed by the flames himself.
"No. Kobold Cleaver needs me. He's weak, he needs to see reason."He can join us too. He will never be weak again.
"But..." Frogskin hesitates. Then he laughs. "Yes. I will be strong. But not now, and not from you. Now go away."
Spring Sapling falls to the trampled earth. Her elk mount nuzzles her prostrate form
"No! No, lady, please don't die." Djuhah continues to pour positive healing energy into her as fast as he can manage.

Esmerelda sighs from exhaustion.
"And so another threat to the Board is finally destroyed."
Innocent Blood flies above the fray, ocassionally loosing a green bolt upon the Army of Life. Animal's broken bodies are thrown about, liquefying almost immediately into rancid ooze from the tainted green energy.
Mirathan assails the Tsar with his daggers, oblivious to the fact that they have no affect. There are no wood elves alive in the Tsar's sword reach.There is a flash of light as The Bard appears in front of The Steel Tsar, deflecting an attack that would have killed Mirathan.

The blade catches Mirathan across the throat as he rises with his crossbow. The look of surprise is still on his face as he falls next to Nimora.
Spring Sapling falls to the trampled earth. Her elk mount nuzzles her prostrate formE7 pauses in his approach, just before reaching his target.
Aaaaahhh!
"GO! You must go! You cannot hesitate! We are doing all we can to help her."
She strengthens Djuhah's healing magic in order to stabilize Spring Sapling.
Oh you can keep it as a souvenir. It might be too late to put it where it was supposed to end up though. What the capering man did might have completely changed that fate by now.
I hope you have a telekinesis in your array.
She flips the knife in the general direction of Kobold Cleaver.
