OOC>>Larry Silverfall and Joseph had escaped to the Lockesville game when they fled the tower. They sought medical aid there and rest. Larry has now found a way to continue onward with his journey and to do that, he had to hop back over through another portal into LoF/SoL.

Larry Silverfall

The portal walk had been easier than he'd expected. He knew where he wanted to go, and with what Joseph taught him about walking in the portals, you just kept your focus on the target and let it take you there. He had walked and walked, but the short amount of distance he covered really was larger in the material world.

Finally knowing that he had reached his destination, he climbed out of the portal and as it closed behind him, he breathed in a deep fresh lung-full of cool forest air. He'd made it to Ravenwood.

Ravenwood was the elven village that he had left Mistral in. She was here, most-likely buried somewhere, and all he had to do was find it. With him, he had his backpack that contained the material components for the most powerful spell that a player could perform on this game and not be a moderator. It was more powerful than even a simple ressurrection spell. And he did not even need to be a strong mage to perform the ritual, for it was all pre-packaged, such was in his plan from the beginning. The candle held the magic that was needed and all it took to work was a simple fire, and to be tended to in the right way. He walked onward in the night, the crickets singing along with his now joyous heart as he knew that tonight he would be reunited with his love. Mistral Freelight Silverfall would come back to him.

Castle team

The battle had commenced. After surviving this long, they were yet assaulted again, this time by a swarm of leeches of all sizes.

Vincent reacted first, tossing the bomb which spewed fire across the surface of the water and seared many of the leeches that were taking that outer perimeter, though those under the surface of the water and under the protection of the bodies of their swarm were not harmed.

Yevaud reacted next, causing himself to become insubstantial which aided both he and the passed-out Tao he held in his arms to avoid taking any attacks. He would be unable to aid in this battle, but his health was not well enough to do much good either, especially for himself.

Anarrima already had a fire shield surrounding her and was praying for the power to toss more godly might at the infestation, and the time had now come.

Ana casts: Searing Light

She held her hand outward and spoke the ending to her prayer and a beam of ultra-brilliant light shot forth from it, striking the oncoming horde of leeches, and cooking them much like Vincent's explosion did. Many leeches became bbq, but still the leeches came onward.

She looked about and noticed that Vincent had fled to a dry patch of land, but was otherwise stuck on all sides by wetland around him and the larger leeches could certainly climb up and get him if they wanted him. Yevaud had played it safe and taken his body and that of Tao's out of this dimension, placing themselves out of range of harm from the material plane. Ana was surrounded by flames but even now as the leeches reached her, she realized that their hunger drove them into her flames with no fear. She watched them die all around her, hoping to be the one to get through first and eat her! She had to do something more. The shield would not hold up long, and she could not imagine being eaten by such vile things...She begged her goddess for mercy in saving her life, and called forth for another spell to be cast. She did so through tears of great fear and desperation...Would she die in this swamp?

OOC>>>Anarrima has made her one magic move this round and needs another round before she can get the other off. If my fellow gamers would be so kind as to post so I could continue to fight, that would be wonderful.

The Mage smirked at his minion's hope of a better future. As the dwarves stepped back to allow conversation between the two, The Mage merely waved a finger when the shadows in the room whisped about Andrion as though they were made of fluid material and as they whirled, they took on the appearance of a robe of the same color, attaching itself around his bare skin and clothing him in the same style of shadowy hooded cloak that the Mage himself wore.

"Andrion...my pet has been killed. You are the last of my special infiltrating agents that can come and go in this game as freely as any player character. But you are too weak; you've proven that already. I do not want to waste my time in bringing you back to life again and so you will have one more chance to serve me well and in order to do so, I shall give you what you lack to be worth of my time. Stand up."

As Andrion stood, the Mage too stood and spread his hands out, then bringing them together at first did not appear to have any significant result but then Andrion could realize...the shadows were growing thicker...rather...the ones in the room were being pulled from the corners and refocused in the center of the room, right where Andrion stood. The shadows surrounded him and incased him, and he could not see out from them for the thickness of the darkness thereof.

The cacoon of shadow substance tightened its hold on Andrion and buried him from view. He was trapped inside as though he had been sealed in a stone.

From there, the Mage walked up to the cube of dark material and knocked.

"Here be your final exam, Andrion Wilgor...he who wants the power of the Modding Mage of Ironworks! From within you, there is a darkness. You know that you have it, but you've never cared to use it. That is where you've gone wrong and why you died that day. That is why you will never succeed in anything. When you have found that which I speak of, you will be able to use this power to get yourself out of this prison, for the Shadows within are your true source of power. Fail to do so, and these prison walls will close in on itself until there be nothing left, and you will have died into nothingness, and I won't even have to clean a grease spot."

The Mage returned to his throne and watched on, expecting to see a failure. If indeed Andrion passed this final test, he would be rewarded beyond his imagination.
