Amidst the chaos, wizards run hither and thither, casting spells and shrieking as the Sphere of Annihilation busily munches through the Netherese ranks. The party launch themselves wholeheartedly into the assault; there's no longer anything to lose.
Amidst it all, there's a paladin; but holy ideals and noble pretensions can all go hang now. As far as he can see it, these are the scum that killed his friend, and he's going to have his pound of flesh no matter who gets in his way. Swinging the defiantly non-magical blade in his hands with the finesse of a butcher, Tancred whirls and chops and carves like a madman; little caring if his blows have any effect. Screams are all around him, and the paladin can barely distinguish shapes as hot tears of rage blind him. He pushes forward, no longer caring about anything. Suddenly, there is a flash of light; and a Netherese mage is before him, a glowing black blade held in his hands. Tancred strikes, but the blade meets resistance from a glowing wall of force surrounding the mage. The riposte is a cruel one, of a speed hardly believed, and misses the paladin's head by a whisker. The mage is forced back, if only through the sheer ferocity he faces; but anger like that is impotent against an impenetrable force as magic. The mage stops using his sword, and begins chanting. Tancred furiously lashes out with blade and fist, striking nothing but a shield of energy, but he is powerless to prevent the mage completing his spell. Bolts of energy lance forth from the mage's outstretched hands, slamming into the paladin's body. Tancred is knocked sprawling, the sword sent skittering across the stone floor. The mage advances, sword raised to strike the final blow. A few of the party catch sight of what is happening - some cry out, others dash to help - but too late, too late. Tancred is stunned by the force of the spell, unable even to see the attack coming. The sword comes down... There is a TERRIFIC noise, and a blast of dark light that blinds everyone in the room. The mage fighting Tancred has barely time to look around before his body simply dissolves into ashes. He has barely time to scream. The paladin sits up, shocked. He blinks furiously to clear the tears, to find the source of his salvation. Confusion rings through his mind. The collars, the collars make magic like that impossible. Only Wah, or the apprentice... "You know, send a REAL Forgotten Realms mage against these Netherese rabble and they soon learn the real meaning of power." Tancred looks around, his mouth gawping. That voice! Standing before the battle is a man; tall and powerful, in his prime. A red, gilded robe covers his body, and powerful energies flicker around his hands. He rests against the wall, as the Netherese back away; a sly, knowing smirk is on his lips. Tancred stares at the figure in a mixture of wonder and horror. "It... it can't be..." The figure stretches out his hands, and flames begin to appear around him. Slowly, the fire coalesces, covering the body of the man but somehow focused, being channelled into something far greater than mere tawdry flame. The fires rush across the red robes of the man, funnelling between his hands as he brings them together. The intense heat and light give the man an almost demonic appearance. "I've been waiting for this a LONG time... holy-boy." The fireball is released, and Tancred rolls aside, the ball of flame rippling past him, bursting apart, singing the flesh of the Paladin's back. Tancred runs as he gets to his feet, Netherese and inn customers alike backing away from him as he runs towards something. The sword. He snatches it up. There may be little left in Tancred's mind that makes sense, but from childhood it was told to him everything will be alright as long as he had that sword. Karnas doesn't even bother to laugh. His next spell is already flying through the air, even as the paladin darts to one side. The fools of this world tried to destroy him - and loosened his bonds. He would make them pay - but first, necessary business. The sword COULD be a prison once again, Karnas knows - but only if the bloodline of Foesmite survives... Maybe there is regret. Maybe. |
"Whoa". Draggor, barely turns to the side as a fireball flies past. He smacks a wizard in the head, just as his improved mantle wears off. "Hey, I thought you guys couldn't cast spells." Draggor takes out the last of the enemy who aren't being detroyed by the sphere and turns to the newly appeared mage. "I don't know who the hell you are but lets get out of here and then you've got a bit of explaining to do. Your intentions better be good or you'll be sorry. We've all killed plenty of so called mighty wizards in the past."

OOC: Yet another attempt to post this -
. Wah suddenly lokos to the blackball with a purpose and walks into it. He and the blackball disappear . Lord Raptor casts Breach on K, allowing Slaughter Margin to slice into him with Blackrazor. K blasts both of them back, casting Absolute Immunity on doing so . Wah appears in the Borg Cube. Kangaxx is having consternations as he has no limbs to operate the cube. Wah walks over to a panel and operates it like a pro. He then picks up Kangaxx and walks through the Blackball again (I'll let you decide where you go, Wah!) .

"OWWW!" Karnas looks at his wound with a mixture of fascination and pain. "That... that HURT! By the Red Circle, I can feel! I can FEEL!"
Slaughter's next blow careens of the Absolute Immunity in a shower of sparks. Karnas breaks off from his contemplation of life to glare at the hulk-like barbarian. "Back off, meathead, or prepare to eat flies for the rest of your green, hopping life. My argument is with Holy-boy over the... where's he gone?" Everyone looks around. Tancred has indeed gone. The sounds of running footsteps echo dimly down the corridors, and then are gone. Karnas clicks his tongue in irritation. "Bugger." |

"They did't just call me a mighty wizard for nothing, tinbonce. They called me a mighty wizard because they knew if I found out they were calling me something different I'd leave nothing more of them than a fine red mist, a mess on the carpet - and a certain amount of paperwork..." |
"Funny", says the half-orc "I get the ame effect after 15 pints of beer" - a red mist (going berserk), a mess on the carpet (puke) and lots of paperwork (trip to the bog)

OOC: I think my last post was et..
The Paladin turns about, the majortiy of the foes having fled from the mysterious black ball. He spies Karnas facing off against Slaughter Margin. "Foul wizard! Prepare to look your last upon the sun!" He smites Karnas with a blow so powerful that had it not not glanced off the absolute immunity warding it would split Karnas in two. Karnas yawns and casts a death spell at the paladin that fails to overcome the paladin's augmented magic resistance. For a moment they are at a stand-still,the Paladin's holy sword unable to reach Karnas and the wizard's spells unable to affect the Paladin. "Wait a minute!"Karnas shouts pointing at the Paldin,"Your codpiece is open!" "What? Zounds!",The Paladin looks down at his armorered pelvis in consternation. "It is not..?" The Paladin looks around for Karnas who is no longer there. Slaughter Margin just shakes his head. ------------------ Grinch |
Slaughter WAS waiting for the 4 rounds to expire before thwocking the wizzy again. Oh well
. . Running down the corridors (the tower being rapidly abandoned by the remaining Seraphs and Netherese), Tancred stop for a breather, panting heavily . Looking back down the corridor, he couldn't see anybody. Getting ready for another bout, he starts to walk down the corridor again when he spots Karnas "BOO!" he says . Karnas and Tancred then he the sound of heavy clumping feet walking along the ground. Heading towards Karnas is a Greater Earth Elemental, its great fists raised to smash his bones ------------------ In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is pimp. http://lordraptor0.tripod.com/index.html http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...s/chickenL.gif |

Melusine, bewildered from the raging chaos around her, has been watching the carnage in horror, unable to help in the fight for lack of a weapon. Upon seeing Artemis fall down, she runs over to him...she has only one Raise Dead spell memorised, but she cannot but help him. Sighing, she starts to recite the proper incantation, a look of deep concentration on her face.

Draggor runs over to Tancred, and gets there really quickly with his boots of speed, and says " I've got two questions for you holy boy. Number 1, is that really karnas and number 2, what do you recommend we do about him? I don't appreciate being called a tinbonce or being stuck with paperwork."
------------------ WAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!! |
Rhazor, turning to see Tancred fighting off what seems like a powerful Mage, pulls out his Moonblade. He closes his eyes and begins to chant something. Suddenly a bright light from what seems out of nowhere shines down upon him. He pulls back his blade and charges toward the Mage.

an aura of magic surrounds artemis pushing melusine away from him. his body rises slowly into the air. his body starts to change twisting and turning, writhing and riggling. a black mist surrounds him. when it lifts his skin is dark red, his scar down his left arm is gone and every part of him seems shiney and new, yet somehow old and evil. He gently floats back down to the ground and starts walking towards the tunnel to the cavern....

OOC: This is an attempt to unify the suddenly odd time-differential.
Tancred can see the questions in Draggor's eyes, but can only meet them with one answer. "Run! Get away from him!" as he darts toward the exit. Karnas, busy with dealing with Lord Raptor and Slaughter Margin, doesn't notice. *** There is a look of extreme concentration on Karnas' face as he starts another spell; but the incantation goes unfinished. Suddenly, he simply disappears. Rhazor's sword strikes air. *** Gasping for breath, Tancred stops, his lungs bursting. He leans against the wall, trying to marshal his thoughts and breath. Karnas? Out of the sword? Tancred thinks back - to the stories he had been told about the mage. A former Cowled Wizard, a renegade troublemaker who had become too unstable to remain within such an organisation but too slippery for them to catch. A man who treated the world and everything in it as a kind of personal playground, who was never really serious about anything. He had changed, of course; but now that he was out of the sword, would he remember any of the lessons he had been taught? He checks both ways of the corridor before getting ready to run. He feels a guilty twang at abandoning the rest of the bar patrons, but takes the view thet Karnas will probably leave them alone if they have the sense to leave him alone. He gets ready to run. "BOO!" says a voice. "AAGH!" Tancred jumps, surprised, as Karnas simply steps out of the shadows. "Heh. You can run, Holy-boy, but you can't hide." "How... how did you do that?" The mage looks puzzled for a few seconds. "Hmm, can't say I rightly know. Not a clue. Still, it proves that you just can't get the drop on Karnas Thoth!" "My great-grandmother did." "Making up for sheer lack of intelligence and ability with simple persistence. Yes, thank you for reminding me. I'm going to kill you now." "Why? What possible grieviance could you have against me?" "WEeeeeeeeel... none, really. I guess I'm just theorising that as long as YOU'RE alive, I can be put back in there. It's a family sword, as you and I both know." Karnas gestures at the sword. "What... what if I don't try and put you in there?" "Hmmmmm... well, better safe than sorry." "You're not really a very nice person, are you, Karnas?" The mage grins. "Nope." "And you're going to kill me, no matter what I do." The grin widens. "Yep. Sorry and all... but I don't really like you." Tancred sighs. "Then I suppose there's only one thing left to say." "And what is that?" "I never liked you either, you madman!" Karnas's grin becomes brittle. He begins intoning a spell; Tancred guages the distance between him and the mage, weighs up the chances of getting Karnas with the sword before the spell gets off, and decides it's not going to happen. A sudden BOOM interrupts Karnas mid-spell. " ... polchier imperium... What was that?" The two figures stare down the corridor to see a vast, rocky form charging down the corridor to meet them at speed. It roars in a deep basso tone, the tunnel floor cracking under its' immense weight. Karnas stares, openmouthed. "Holy pants... How am I expected to work under these conditions?" A spell flies from the mage's fingers towards the colossus, but the energies of the spell dissipate against the creature's skin. "Hmmm." Karnas' brow furrows. "Holy-boy, I don't suppose you have a Ring of Earth on you, do you?" "Er, no. It was in the Bag of Holding, remember?" "Damn. Right then, we'd better -" The creature ROARs again, thudding both fists into the roof of the tunnel. The roof collapses, burying the creature under tons of rubble and rock. Dust covers the scene for a few seconds, but when it clears the creature is gone. "Ha! There's a problem that sorts itself ou -" The creature steps from the rock like a swimmer from water. The Elemental roars again, charging once more. "Erm... Karnas?" "What, Holy-boy? I'm trying to think." "I don't know about you, but I can run and think. I'm going to do a lot of running and thinking right now." Karnas looks at the Elemental, a bare ten feet away. "Yeah, I'll go with that. RUN!" "RUN!" The two figures, renegade Mage and folorn Paladin, run for it, with an Elemental in hot pursuit. OOC: I think that works... Tancred |

Jabidas hurls himself around the corner, spots 2 fleeting figuers from the corner of his slanted eyes and runs headfirst into a rather large earth elemental. The sorcerer ducks under its feet as it lumbers on ocasionaly bashing into a wall breaking it down dust fills the air behind it. The voice of Jabidas calls out can anyone get this friggin collar off and ill turn these upity freaks into a large portions of bleeding scar tissue with the requisite helpings of shattered bone fragments, anyone?. Im also could at mage disposal and general breaking of things. Ahem.

Draggor nearly gets run down by karnas and Tancred as they run past. He gets up and dusts himself off, but before he can give chase he hears a roar behind him.
He turns to see an extremely large earth elemental bearing down on what he believes to be a helpless jabidas(sp?). "oh well, back to work. I guess I should save him. Let the paladin deal with his own problems. WAAAAGGGGHHH!!" Draggor screams his war cry as he charges in, Stormhammer held high. ------------------ visit www.zipworld.com.au/~wsgs |
Hey there people! I bet all these problems still exist cos Link is not in the bar! But he's back!
"Jesus, LS! It smells in here!" Link yells at the bartender. "Not me, Link" the bartender answers. "What is that smell?" Link mutters and he looks around. Nothing weird in the bar. Two crazy wizards being pursued by an Earth Elemental. WHAT? Link draws his sword and jumps into the battle. "Hey stinky-face! Over here!" The earth elemental grunts, and slowly turns his head. Tancred and the mage stop and breath heavily. "Yeah you, you ugly faced scumbag! Come and get some punk!" The earth elemental roars, and begins to walk to the warrior standing there in the center of the bar. The warrior though, doesn't move an inch, and waits for the enormous creature reaches him. "You die!" a low rumbling sound escapes the mouth of the elemental. Astounded Link looks up at the elemental. This is new for him. A TALKING Earth Elemental. The Earth Elemental doesn't wait for Link to resume his fighting position, and deals him a heavy blow. Link flies through the air and lands on a table. He gets up, and turns to the creature. "Big mistake buddy!" he says. He runs to the Elemental and dances around it, dealing blows all over its body. The Earth Elemental is unable to do anything, and is heavily wounded. Suddenly the warrior stops and points at Tancred. "Holy boy! Finish him off!" Tancred walks to the Earth Elemental to deal the final blow, but just seconds before he can swing his sword, the Earth Elemental falls down on the bars floor. Dead. "Sorry" Link says, and he sits down on a chair, ordering a Forever Ale. ------------------ In the foul darkness one figure will emerge to save the world from evil and despair....

Jabidas smiles but not in a nice way, his smile is crooked with no humour and it dosnt touch his eyes. Almost imediatly large hands form out of the very air punching and squesing the enemy mages and soldier alike, blood spurts in small fountains, fireball hurl through the air and the smell of burning flesh fills the air cloying and sweet, fog forms around his enemies and inside they are snatched and torn apart by invisable arms, their deaths are not visable but very audible, green beams shoot from the sorcerer hands turning anything they touch to dust. Jabidas continues to grasp for weapons beyond imagination to tear his enemies to shred them for imprisoning him. When nothing around him breaths any longer he can be heard to mutter Im such a nice guy. Time to go then, out of this pit for some evermead.

Karnas catches his breath as the others lay into the elemental. As he does, he gasps, blodd starts trickling from his mouth. He looks below to see the flaming blade of Celestial Fury sticking out of his front. Lord Raptor backstabbed him while he was running! (remember, Lord Raptor runs faster than a normal man)

Jabidas looks up into the night sky and spots the descending cube, a small voice chirps from his side this is like that time in Istar with the fiery mountain and my friend Caramon who was a gladiator at the time ,it was the most amazing adventure where we went back in time to. The sorcerer looks down to a midget with a topknot grimaces and screams I HATE COMIC RELIEF and disintigrates him. So much for people who think in exclamation marks. The elf is practical enough to dimension door back to the bar when he sees a million tonne metal cube desceding in flames from the heavans directly above him. evermeads long due at this point.

OOC: Time to juice up the storyline a little bit. Lost memories of Rhazor:
IC: Suddenly, as his Moonblade hits the floor, it seems he is in a dark forest. He can see nothing but a white light in front, where all the trees seem to lead. He hears shrieking coming from behind him, and so he turns to see what is happening. As he turns, a young woman begins to run deeper into the forest. For some reason, Rhazor follows her. Occasionally, the woman looks back and shrieks even more. Thinking to himself, *What is going on here, what is happening?* The young woman leads him to a cave, where she comes to a dead end. She turns to face Rhazor, but collapses as she does. As Rhazor bends over to check her, he sees to claws reach out. *What is that!?* he thinks to himself. Then suddenly, he snaps back into reality. Sweat beating down on his face and palms, Rhazor turns to make sure no one has noticed he just had a sudden flash back. *What was that?* he thinks to himself, *Was that something from my past?* He stands in the hallway, puzzled. *I don't remember being in any woods, or following a woman that seemed to be horrified of something..* OOC: What could this mean? Bum, bum, bum! |

"TANCRED!" Karnas' gasp rattles in his throat. "Help... heal me!" "Karnas, I can't! My collar - it - it stops me healing you, somehow. I don't know how to get it off!" "You... idiot... the sword..." "But, but the enchantment on the sword was broken! It's just metal! A priest of Helm and a mage put you there in the first place, I don't know how!" "Just... just..."

Jabidas sits back in a dark corner of the bar, props his feet up and sighs. Crises over lots of dead people and the odd joke, a good few days. The sorcerer pick up his flagon takes a sip mutters good as ever while carefully keeping one eye on the door. A severed hand falls out of his pack as he moved, fantastic even a souvenir, just hope the bag isnt too covered in gore and gibs.

Tancred sits by the still-living body of the mage. The blood has stopped flowing, but the occasional hacking cough from Karnas suggests this isn't necessarily a good thing. The paladin's eyes are thoughtful and sad. Others of the bar offer him a drink, a hand of cards... but nothing seems to stir him. He looks from his old sword to the wounded wizard, biting a lip.
Suddenly, Tancred gets up, running to the upper floors of the bar without a word, leaping up the stairs two at a time, pushing past the feathery figure of Lord Raptor as he does so. The mighty Chicken clucks angrily for a few seconds, then buks to himself. The paladin does not return for some time. As the gentler, less warrior-like of the patrons try to tend the delerious wizard, Tancred stomps down the stairs again, clad in his battered old armour - the blade-shaped hole in the breastplate put there by Artemis is still there. In his other hand he holds his sword, and under his arm - a book. He clears a space on the bar, knocking aside empty pints and ashtrays as Tancred thumps the mighty book down. It is an obviously old book, with leather covers and brass bindings, and a coat-of-arms on the front of the book can just be made out in faded gold leaf. The book bears the legend 'de Foesmyte' on the spine. As Tancred opens the book, those who crowd round can smell the age of the paper; copperplate script covers pages and pages of the aged book, along with sketches of people - knights in armour, noble-looking ladies in wimples, a long and complex family tree. Tancred turns reverentially to the section headed 'the lady Truori de Foesmyte' Tancre reads on, finger tracing line after line of the ancient text, reading about his great-grandmother's life, history - and the quests she undertook. Eventually, he reaches the part of the biography regarding the blessing of the sword - and gives a sudden exclamation of surprise and shock, shutting the book. The expression on his face is grim. He looks to his sword, and to the dying Karnas again. He knows what he has to do, even if no-one else does. "Helm help me," he breathes. He stands there for some time, absentmindedly sipping from caleb's pint, weighng up something in his head. Eventually, he seems to come to a decision. He looks around at the patrons, and slams the pint onto the bar to get their attention. "I've got to find a powerful evil Dragon and kill it," he says. "Anyone want to come?"

All for it Tancred, you take the bits you want from it ill turn the rest into red mush and bone fragments, just let me finish this and im ready.

I loved Karnas too (at least I did when he still was put away nicely in that sword http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif) and I really want to help! But first, she runs to FF and hugs him, then drags him off to a quiet table in the bar where they can get some privacy! ------------------ Melusine, High Queen of Fluffies, Archbabe of the OHF, the LH, the HADB and the SPAE(Society for the Prevention of Acronym Extinction) & Official Entertainer Elf of the BG2 Bar http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/memnoch/mel1.gif Your voice is ambrosia Amy Brown Fantasy Art |
While Mel and FF get quality time, Lord Raptor is still sulking because when he stabs someone, he STABS them
He grumble-clucks until Mel tickles him LR clucks upstairs and clucks Celestial Fury, while clucking rations and gear, etc. Bugger them he says. Then he feels a familiar dark-skinned hand stroking his wattle An hour later, Lord Raptor and Viconia come down. Viconia says "when are we leaving, boys?" ------------------ In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is pimp. http://lordraptor0.tripod.com/index.html http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...s/chickenL.gif |
Someone keep me updated with the story. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/crying.gif
