Kaelar walks silently thruogh the portal, hanging back to see what Serafina does.
Still juggling 3 black orbs
Yes, please join us. It'll be fun.
Nimora runs inside the tent, seeing Oroth speaking with two strange women and the Erinyes she has been told to watch out for.
The priestess pauses, sensing something...
3 white blurs whiz thru the air, each striking an orb and shattering it.
Ash tosses back the orbs she had been juggling. "You know what? Forget it. I've danced this dance before. Killing heroes is fun and everything, but I just don't have any real reason to put myself at risk here. Have fun, hope it goes well for you and all that. It's been real."
And with that she walks out.
LAW!
2 spirits are released from te orbs and Mirathan's body falls from the 3rd, as Telestial becomes visible.
Nimora runs forward, striking at one of the spheres Ash tossed with her trident, shattering it.
She whirls her net, throwing it at the younger of the two women.
Should have known that hanging out with that bi*ch would have dulled our senses.
She flicks a black dagger at the knight.
Serafina watches the unfolding drama from outside the tent. When a burly roustabout comes running towards her she shows some surprising moves, taking him down with a judo move and taking his quaterstaff-like shillelagh
I'll be taking that thank you ..
Nimora pulls her net tight around El-Lina, doing her best to throw the woman's aim off.
PoD speaks a Word of Chaos
Telestial is clipped by the dagger, which passes thru his shield and armor as if it wasn't there. The power word blasts him backwards as he grabs his eyes.
Nimora shakes her head, trying to clear her thoughts after that strange word.
Nimora pulls her net tight around El-Lina, doing her best to throw the woman's aim off.
El-Lina's form melts, growing smaller. She turns into a viper.
Nimora stabs at a dropped orb with her trident, shattering it. She tightens the net as El-Lina becomes smaller and drags El-lina closer.
After thwacking the roustabout with his own staff, Serafina acts as gatekeeper, fighting off the carnies rushing to the tent. Every time an undead approaches her blows become infused with a golden glow.
Tonaltzintli yollohtli! She yells as she lays about the various minions with the length of black walnut
Smiling at the stricken knight PoD becomes black smoke and streams towards him.
Keeping the viper far enough away to not get bitten, Nimora strikes with her trident, aiming squarely for the head.
Each orb releases a spirit when struck, but another one releases a green gas.
the viper strikes at Nimora with poisonous fangs, dodging the strikes with amazing speed.
the gas begins to spread, damaging the body on the ground with acid
The blow lands solidly on Nimora's trident , Nimora curses as the sudden movement causes her strike to miss the viper's head.
Seeing what is happening to Mirathan's body, Nimora drops the net, rushes forward and picks it up, moving him away from the acid cloud. She has burns across her skin from doing this, but she seems unaware of the pain.
The blind knight draws out a rod, which transforms into a flaming sword. He struggles to his feet.
Acid!
Mixed within the acid cloud a black cloud rises behind the knight and strikes him in the back with a dagger of black energy.
Smiling at the stricken knight PoD becomes black smoke and streams towards him.
Gazing into the tent during break in the action, Serafina sees the priestess turn into smoke and head for Telestial. She mutters and points her staff at the smoke
Cocotona nahualli! She cries as a beam of golden energy lances into the black cloud
Mixed within the acid cloud a black cloud rises behind the knight and strikes him in the back with a dagger of black energy.
Aaaah!
"Run", he shouts as he falls to his knees, his face wrought in pain.
Setting Mirathan's body on the bleachers above the reach of the acid cloud, Nimora yells to Oroth to guard the body before dashing back into the ring and attacking another orb, shattering it. The acid burns her, but she doesn't allow pain to deter her from her purpose.
Mixed within the acid cloud a black cloud rises behind the knight and strikes him in the back with a dagger of black energy.Aaaah!
"Run", he shouts as he falls to his knees, his face wrought in pain.
"Not without Mirathan," she says grimly, shattering another orb.

The force of the blast scatters the black mist after PoD strikes the knight. It slowly begins to come back together.
"Not without Mirathan," she says grimly, shattering another orb.Mixed within the acid cloud a black cloud rises behind the knight and strikes him in the back with a dagger of black energy.Aaaah!
"Run", he shouts as he falls to his knees, his face wrought in pain.
The spirit looks at his rescuer, and flows over near the body, looking down at it.
"Kaelar, help Telestial," she orders, running over to where she put Mirathan's body. She slings it over her shoulder and heads for the exit as quickly as she can. "Time to go now people!"
His face returns to normal
"My lord..."
Telestial falls forward, dead from poison, eyes blind.
The viper becomes green mist, blending with the acid.
Nimora runs out of the tent carrying Mirathan's body, urging Oroth to hurry and keep up.
The clouds of black flow together more quickly. They crackle with energy.
Nimora runs out of the tent carrying Mirathan's body, urging Oroth to hurry and keep up.
With her hands full, Nimora has to trust Oroth and Serafina to clear a path for them through any of the carnies foolish enough to get in their way as they run for the portal, Kaelar bringing up the rear carrying Telestial.
Serafina runs ahead, clubbing the carnies down as they swarm the group
Back foul creatures! Back to Mictlan with you!
They struggle their way through to the omniportal.
"Quick...dial...Sanctum....Alaina....help" Nimora gasps out, struggling for breath.
Serafina sets the omniportal to the Sanctum and activates it
Hurry!
Nimora stumbles through the portal along with the rest of the group.
The acid cloud dissapates, and the two Daughters of Discord reform.
Aaaaahhh!!! You let him get away!
"I'm sorry, mother, there were too many. He should be driven mad by now."
"No, you idiot! I care not for the boy-prince. You let the Knight get away! Right when we had him! He was not prepared to fight us above water."
"I'm sorry, mother."
"You say that too much." PoD strike El-Lina with her shadow dagger, felling her with its magic. She then incinerates the body, gathering the ashes so she can't be rescued, and leaves the Carnival.
The omniportal comes to life again, but nobody appears to come through it. After a moment, it deactivates.
Devlyn, coming through unseen, starts to stealthily move away from the omniportal, backtracking the scents of Nimora and Mirathan, and noting the presence of that slightly sweet scent he was afraid he'd find here...
He starts heading for the tents.
When he reaches the tent where all of the scents seem to have congregated (overlaid with a bad, acrid odor clinging to everything), he silently circles it, still hidden, looking for an opening to see through, listening for any sounds coming from within, and focusing on his other senses to find out if anything is still in there.

"Can I help you find something?" says a voice from behind. "I can make your wildest dreams come true, for a price."
