OOC: Thought I might acctually advance the plot rather than do what i usally do and play out a mini drama.
IC: In the far corners of the goblin maze there is the faint sound like a small animal choaking, father inspection would reveal it as our three villains who were currently trying to comfort one of there number who was currently having a mid life crisis.
"Do you want a hug?" said thief in a tone usually reserved for patronising children and old people.
"NO... have you got a tissue, I've er.. got something in my eye."
Taking a small hankerchief from the hands of theif, the knight turned away from his two companions to blow his nose, a more astute oserver might have noticed a small drop in temperature as he opened his visor.
"I'm so sorry about this, I don't know what happened back there. This whole 'awsome power of evil thing hasn't really gone as I planned. I thought it would be dark castles and kidnapping princesses not demanding legwax off whatever idiots would choose *of their own acord* to journey into this godforsaken maze of tunnels."
"Welcome to my world.", Delphie randomly stabbed at the air as she spoke.
"And your constant critism doesn't help at all, if you could just try to be a bit nicer to both theif and I this whole trip would be much more plesent."
"Tell you what, give me back my staff and you'lll never have to worry about me ever aga-", their argument was suddenly interupted as a a massive explosion rocked the cavern.
In a blur of motion all three warriors were on their feet with weapons drawn.
"What was that!?", lighting arced from each of the black clad knights rune axes.
Drawing back the sleeves on her robe Delphie focused her dark magical energy into the tips of her fingertips which were held high over her head.
"Some sort of elemental creature, probally a djinn, serveral spellcasters of moderate power, at least half a dozen. A lot of spiritual energy which would mean clerics or paladins or even some sort of druid or ranger.", there was a shrap exhale of breath at this point, "and the granddaddy of all undead... some sort of of megalich."
"More powerfull than you?", the question from the fighter was laced with aprehention and excitment.
"I don't know I can't get a reading on it's magical level because it's not technically alive."
"Where?"
"About um... four hundred feet to our left."
"Thief, I need you detecting traps, this is something that I have to check out."
"What about our backup plan?" asked the thief.
"We know where it is... anyway if we keep waiting here they may go strait past us, this is just the kind of chance we were looking for and we *might* even get a good fight out of this." the contours of his visor seemed to slowly move into a grin.
"Alright just don't go shouting anything about smiting evil.. makes me look bad." Delphie' robes bellowed out behind her as the three set off down the tunnel.
