"Ok lets run....." Hijo pulls the spirits above his head so the others can see his location. He then sprints towards the camp.

by **Josh** Mon Mar 29, 2010 10:47 am

Kal'thri and Raioe began running with them. Raioe seemed to expertly avoid the corpses with great coordination for a blind person.
They neared the tents when someone called out, "Hoy! We're here!"

by Roland Mon Mar 29, 2010 10:57 am

Hijo neared the voice and saw two soldiers armed with the enemies weapons.
"Whats going on ?" Said Hijo
"Nothing sir....We were sneaking in here we thought it was occupied by the enemy" Replied the tired soldier.
"Well its not your with us now....Did you see that light ?" asked Hijo
"Yes....Should we go to it?" Exclaimed the soldier.
"Not yet...., Kal'Thri what do you think its your call" Said Hijo after involuntarily reaching for a cigar and remembering his lighter didnt work. He then snatched the weapon off the officer and shot the tip of his cigar, lighitng it. He then chucked it back.

"I'm not sure. This is too dangerous and there isn't many of us; conditions have become dangerous and this feels too much like a trap. We need to think of a plan: Find others - survivors or other able people, regroup and then look at our options. However, i'm afraid that we may be out of time." She paused for breath. "We should at least find out what the light is, perhaps from distance. Gather intelligent but do not engage."
She was worried. Really worried.
She took hold of the pendant around her neck and said quietly, "Xervish, why won't you answer. Where are you?" Again, the uncomfortable heat prickled her skin (the heat of hell although she does not know that) but faded as quicky..

by Roland Mon Mar 29, 2010 11:18 am

"Yes that is probrably the best course of action.....,Ok you two get as close as you can to the light without getting killed then get back here. Understood ?"
Hijo finished off his cigar and flicks it away.

by **Jordan** Mon Mar 29, 2010 11:50 am

Kino who was holding torg followed Hijo as did Lee...

by Roland Mon Mar 29, 2010 2:28 pm

The soldiers ran towards the light with brilliant stealthy skill.
"So our plan of action is to get out of here.....Im guessing teleportation doesnt work and if we brake it we get face full of acid....So whats it gonna be ?" Hijo looks through the nearby tents.

by **Josh** Mon Mar 29, 2010 2:47 pm

"Well, I'm not skilled in the Art of making Gates so that won't be any use, either," she added unhelpfully "Xervish, my partner, knows but I never wanted to learn." She clutched her pendant again and mtutered "Xervish, come on! Answer me!" She put as much energy as she dared into the call. A small, crackly voice emmanated from the pendant. "Can't... sorry...trappe-" and then the link cut off.

The dome completely extends beneath us as well. We can't tunnel out. Said Raioe, feeling the dense shape of something in the ground.

by Roland Mon Mar 29, 2010 3:17 pm

Hijo turns round at the mention of Xervish.
"You trying to contact Xervish.....Xervish Flydd?" Hijo says inquisitively.
After taking the enmy visor and looking it voer a bit.

Luca looked down noticing a small dwarf. he looked deep into his soul watching all his emotion turn. Amelicas looked to Luca and placed his hand on Luca's shoulder. "Luca its time to go to the hell palace you need to speak to Yami's successor and convince him to help in the war effort. Luca agreed and waved his hand infront of him, creating a black portal to the palace. Breena and ruio looked to this portal and as soon as they saw Luca they run and hugged him Luca kissing Breena passionatly. Ruio's wings grew bright yellow as his wing colour changed with his mood. Luca then walked off to the successors home the death palace of hell. He walked in and looked to the king of hell. "My lord it is me Yami's prince Luca and her only brother. The successor looked to Luca as he knew he meant a brother type figure. "I Plee to you to help our leader in battle on earth against the oncoming threat of the crystal beings. The successor nodded and clicked his fingers this giving Luca the powers of hell and the only powers that were as powerful as Yami.

by **Misa Misuya** Tue Mar 30, 2010 5:24 am

Misa slams her scythe at Shinzo, he ducks out of the way nimbly. He darts behind her, she blinked for a moment before feeling a large amount of pain on her back..
Shinzo laughed. Hikari gasped...
Ashizukai smashed a fire ball into Shinzos face knocking him off Misa.
Misa groaned in pain, gripping her back and slamming her scythe into his chest, hooking onto his skin. "I...told you wouldn't get away with it!"

by Roland Tue Mar 30, 2010 9:32 am

The soldiers started to near the area that the light came from they were moving nimbly and calmly like true veterans of stealth.

by **Josh** Tue Mar 30, 2010 12:19 pm

"Yes," replied Kal'thri, "Do you know him?"
She was following him as he searched the tents. It seemed that a lot of them had been ransacked. Fortunatly, most people were out fighting. Then dread passed over her as she heard shouting and cries of pain. "The healers tent!" She gasped. That was bound to hold many people but it didn't sound like the pain of healing - more like battle.

"Yes I know him....The last time I saw him he helped me to defeat a powerful threat to stormforce. Hes in hell now....." Then Hijo hears the screams and runs towards the healers tent.

by **Josh** Wed Mar 31, 2010 10:16 am

"Ugh, he always gets himself into those situations! Reckless fool," she chided.
She ripped open the canvas door to the tent and stormed into the room. The healers - protecting the sick and wounded - had barricaded themselves in with tables and anything they else could get ahold of. Trying to break through were axe-laden soldiers.

Tyder had helped build the barricade with wood and vines. He was there repairing a broken leg when the soliders stormed.

[Tyder probably won't join, unless we could use him. I just feel I already ahve too many of my characters.]

Hijo walked in quietly and went behind one of the enemy soldiers before tapping him on the shoulder. He turned round with speed and Hijo sent a well placed punch to his nose knocking him right out He then proceeded to draw his sword and stick it in the stomach of another killing him instantly. one of the other soldiers had realised what was happening and swang his axe at Hijo he didnt have time to block or parry it. he was an open target.

by **Josh** Wed Mar 31, 2010 11:18 am

The hit was about to connect with Hijo but when it was inches away from his body, his hand gruseomly exploded. Raioe was smirking as he then began controlling the blood and using it to attack, sending the boiling scarlet liquid at them.

Kal'thri sent electrical energy through her sword, the energy giving off hardly any light or heat. As it touched the skin of a soldier, it sent a huge jolt throughout their body, the muscles spasming wildly. The smell of charred skin wafted throughout the room.

by Roland Wed Mar 31, 2010 11:35 am

Hijo nodded to Raioe and and pulled his sword out of the dead soldier and stuck it through the last ones arm. not killing him but causing him to scream in agony. he then bled out. the one Hijo knocked out woke up and shouted something but Hijo moved with insane speed and held his sword to his neck causing to silence immediatley.
"Does anyone know how to get into their heads ?, they may have information"

by **Josh** Wed Mar 31, 2010 11:42 am

I could help with that. One of my specialties is a Mimicry illusion. I generally use it for spying. Usually, I will invade their minds and take what they know to better suit the body. He walked towards the soldier at knife point. However, this is actually an Embodiment Ritual. Its a bit gruseome but the only way i can take identities without have sight.
He slowly walked over to the soldier and with his nail, etched a deep pentagram onto their head. The blood trickled down their forehead. He also did this to the wrists and ankles and finally he drew one on the floor. He gestured for everyone to step out of the pentagram and when they were out he began chanting the sorcery ritual. It took a few minutes but evntually each pentagram burst out a strange light. It didn't penetrate the darkness but could still be seen.
He is vulnerable at this point.
He cut his palms and then placed them over the pentagrams on the soldiers wrists. Then he placed his forehead against the solider's to penetrate the mind.
What do you need to know? he said after he felt the link.

by Roland Wed Mar 31, 2010 12:37 pm

"How to get out of this damn dome...." Hijo said before leaving the tent.
The ice cold air causing icicles to form on his chin. just then the two soldiers they had met emerged from the side of the encampment.
"Hijo sir.....there is another army crystal soldiers and more advanced soldiers searching everywere. there are only a few dozen of our soldiers left. scattered everywhere, we are practically alone...." the Soldier bassicly sniveled this as he said it.
"Pull yourself together man!, you are a member of the stormforce elite unit! You will not falter, you will fight till death or the end!" Hijo whispered this as harshley as he could
"Im sorry sir.....I just.....Miss my family" the soldier said after regaining his old self.
"We will get out of here" Hijo said reassuringly
He then went back in to the tent
"Got anything ?"

by **Josh** Wed Mar 31, 2010 2:01 pm

He explored the mind; A complex, twisted thing with many pathways, many doorways. I see the image of a man. The crystal is lighter than these other things. He saw the image of the dome forming as well as the one who made it. He saw this dome be made. The man with the crystal, who i assume was what the light was, made it.
Finally, he completed the ritual. The soldier screamed in agony, suddenly aware of everything around him. It didn't last long. Raioe unwrapped his bandage, empty eyes showing. Wisps travelled from the soldier into his eyes. He had stolen the identity.
Embodiment Ritual! The soldiers form shaped around his own, changing his height, his looks, his physical qualities.
I suppose this could be handy. No one better try to attack me though.

by Roland Wed Mar 31, 2010 2:10 pm

"Good work....Now we must leave, I know they will be here soon, I believe we should head towards the light. but if im wrong it could mean almost certain death.....or worse" Hijo used the visor they found and saw groups of dots heading towards them in an organized fashion.
"So whats it gonna be ?"

by **Josh** Wed Mar 31, 2010 2:28 pm

"This... this is a difficult decision," Kal'thri admitted. "Old as I may be, death doesn't yet appeal to me. Although, if it means stopping this, then these things have to be done." She shuddered. "However, I don't think we have enough power, even between us. Boy?"
The man I saw seemed powerful. It radiates from him. Even those without the gift of Magic will be able to feel it. With this body, not even he would be able to detect me as one of us. Im am the soldier. Of course, it won't be hard to detect how different I am in manners and things.
"So, the question is do we try and find everyone else? She glanced at the visor. Do you think they are friendly?"
In her mind, she quietly contacted Irisis, the MindMage. She reported that the troops were falling fast. The numbers of the elves rapidly declining.

by Roland Wed Mar 31, 2010 2:46 pm

"Alright, so if the light radiates from this man, we need to either kill this man or stay well clear of him....Im up for either in all honestly its your choice. I mean I say we smash the dome but that will kill us all of course...we cant dig under it. So we smash a portion of the dome with precision and create a shield around that stopping the acid from pouring down etc. but as soon as we leave and the shield is deactivated the entire dome will collapse if my thinking is correct....Killing everything inside except maybe that man" Hijo reaches for another cigar but then remembers his lighter not working.

by **Josh** Wed Mar 31, 2010 2:57 pm

"If my assumption is correct, he is the leader of this operation. Leaders all have their lower ranks. Maybe we should find some of those?" she suggested "But, if we do try to escape, I'll be willing to hold the shield for as long as possible to give everyone the greatest chance of escape, although that leaves me vulnerable for attack and the hole open for the enemy to escape."
She rubbed her temples in frustration. So many choices so many bad concequences.

Meanwhile, The Library Master gently floated into the air. He hadn't seen any he recognised around. It seemed to be more quieter than usual in the dark. Both sides must be experiencing reduced numbers. However, that would mean only the strongest or skilled would have reamained - on either side. He called out with his mind to anyone for an update on the situation.
