<font color="lightgoldenrod">This is the Palace of Merlin, bla bla bla, thread for the Order of Merlin bla bla bla... summary of the previous thread bla bla bla...</font>

<font color="white">Shortly after we had formed, the HADB atacked us. During our recovery from this onslaught of uber (coming from both sides... originators cant be agreed upon), we were called to the Holy Temple of Aerie to help fight some liches.
When we returned from the Temple, we had to relocate the palace because our Lease expired.
A portal was constructed, but we were soon attacked again by several hundred monsters. once we had defeated them, an evil being called Mullinya sent some Robed Ones to attack us. They have now been turned into Shadow Riders, and the Travelar Harlos has been turned into a wraith. 3 of the Shadow Riders have been defeated, but 4 still remain along with the wraith that was Harlos.</font>

Dakakarot draws Memory and rams it deap into the thing that was Harlos' belly but finds it has no effect on the wraith. Finally giving in Dakakarot casts improved invisability on himself and moves so that he can get a good shot at his back. When the wraith lets down his guard Dakakarot immediatly bombards him with magic missiles and fire arrows. After a few moments Dakakarot stops and thinks, then an idea pops into his head. Dakakarot draws Thorn from its sheath and wispers a word, from the sword comes the blinding light of the priest spell Sunray.

Still hiding behind a pillar, she reaches into one of the bags at her belt, and closes her eyes, shaking her head. ~It seems that ShadowHound has "borrowed" the herb she is looking for~ Sighing, she reaches into a different pouch, pulling out a small handful of bilberry root and phlanx, crushing it between her palms. She leans around the pillar, and blows it into the air between the Order and the Shadows....................

<font color="silver"> Behind TAOwolfs Erbs, the Sunray spell does its work well... 1 of the Shadow Riders fall to its power, as does the wraith which was Harlos. The wraiths corpse melts and changes, forming a body which looks like Harlos, but still with some life in him... 6 Shadow Riders remain... one, seemingl more powerful then the others, beckons to Hevvien, forcing him beyond all will to go in that direction. The other Shadow Riders move around the room, one to carrot-man, one to Shadowhound, One to TAOwolf, one to Stonerock, and one to Sultair...</font>

OOC: STOP CALLING ME CARROT-MAN!!! ITS DAKAKAROT YOU IDIOT!!!

IC: Dakakarot looks his opponent up and down and then looks at the drows opponent and silently mutters to himself "why does he get the strong one?" Dakakarot turns his attention back to his opponent and starts to deliver a series of vicius blows.

He begins attacking the Shadow Rider, with speed, precision, and super-elven strength... as the thing falls to the ground the first time, he raises the staff, and backs off, knowing that he would have no chance of beating it in this position... </font>

Shadowhound looks at his opponent, "watch out.. i will uh... turn you into a peanut. yeah thats right a peanut, yeah you dont look so sure now do you huh huh... oh you do... um..." Shadowhound quickly casts searing orb at his opponent followed by blindness.

<font color="skyblue">She watches the Shadow approach, waiting till the last minute.......as it comes within 10 feet in front of her, she falls to her knees, holding a sapphire-hilted dagger to the sky, and yells, "beannaich sibh, spiorad de am aigne agus am meadhonach. Mise thir sibh am tiodhlac seo de mo aigne!!!!!!!". A flash of pure light flares thru the sapphire on the hilt, hitting the shadow square in the chest, dissolving him into nothing but small wisps of air, which slowly fade away.......She drops her arms, and looks up, her eyes glowing softly silver, and sheaths the dagger. She catches her breath as quickly as she can, and watches Shadowhound closely, to make sure the Shadow gets dispatched, ready to help if she can..........~although weakened by the power she just drew, she can still kill another if she must~......</font>

<font color="silver">The Shadowrider makes some kind of gesture with its hands, stopping the seering orb in its tracks. It takes the Blindness full on, but for some reason, (probably to do with its lack of conventional eyes [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) seems unaffected.</font>

A tall, black-clad Half-Orc enters the scene, a lute on his back and carrying several big black cases. He's wearing strangely shaped dark-glassed spectacles.
"Hey y'all, how's things going here? My latest tour of the Realms was a blast! Fans lining up for yards outside the taverns, and man, those groupies were something else - what the...!"
He abruptly stops speaking as a lightning bolt hits the wall only inches from his left ear, and seems to notice the huge battle now for the first time. Dropping his luggage, he reaches for his morningstar.
