Part 3 of - The Shadow of Love

Plaxica 70/70

"Well it seems you do not need me here. I'll go and see if I can help at the forest" - he said to Arcades.

Jumping from the roof of the tavern he shifted into his owl form in mid leap and only gently touching the ground flew off towards the forest. There he watched the situation develop from the air.

Andrion Wilgor 60/60

Half-crushed by the dragon Andrion had difficulties breathing. It took him several moments to gather his breath so as to be able to speak.

"Ok, ok... you win... just don't... crush me so much..., ok?"

ooc- *waggles finger* tsk, tsk, you forgot Nanashi's accent Ah well, I do to sometimes... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Liam

Liam ignored the appearance of the owl, his entire being focused on Nanashi and her words. "Love and trrrust... betrrrayal..." he murmured under his breath in angry confusion, his senses following her change in location. "I don't know what you arrre talking about!" He howled at the figure in the darkness. "Perrhaps therrre have been people who trrrusted me, but all they trrrusted me to do was accomplish my job. And the ones who everrr loved me died a long time ago!!"

Liam's chest heaved with pent up emotion, his eyes narrowed with pain as he flexed his fingers in repetitive anxiety. His current state of emotion did not interefere with his senses, however, if anything it caused them to become more acute. He stared hard into the shadows with his pained and heated eyes. Suddenly they grew very cold and withdrawn, and his posture relaxed to that of one who no longer cared about their surroundings and survived only on instinct, like a robot. "You must have been sent by the Shadow. It seems to like inflicting pain on otherrs by killing of those they love... And if you killed Mother and my newly borrn sisterr, then I, Sir Liam D'Armell, will kill you, and then go afterr yourr masterr. Prreparre yourrself!"

And with that, he leapt towards her branch, claws outstretched and a determined, dead expression on his hybrid features.

Lyulfe

Lyulfe could feel his music finally reaching Larry, his song forming a rope of light that shown with the brilliant colours of violet and azure. He heaved with the stress that the magic was causing him, and the room surrounding them warped in different directions dangerously, his spell on them starting to falter. Lyulfe could feel Larry grab onto the rope of light, and together with much pulling and climbing Larry finally reached the land of the living and the safe unconsciousness of hopeful dreams.

Lyulfe gasped, finally halting the music. With the end of the song, he could feel his link to Skye start to withdraw. With the last bit of power from the link he tediously solidified his elven form. The walls of the room groaned thankfully at the release of the spell, and the ethereal glow dissipated, leaving a shaking and ashen faced elf in it's place. His magic totally depleted, Lyulfe collapsed on the floor and immediately lost consciousness.

The half-hazard shape spell left the elf looking less than normal, his skin slightly tinged a pale blue colour like his hair. Because of his current ashen complexion this may be overlooked, except in random places on his body there appear to be patches of minute reptilian scales.

ooc- keep in mind that Lyulfe locked the door, so either Larry is going to have to wake up, or someone's gotta break the door down. [img]smile.gif[/img] Most of Lyulfe's essence is made up of magic, so by depleting it to such a dangerous level has left him in an unsafe range of death.

As she leaps thru the portal, she yells back at Arcades, "Watch out for everyone... I'll be back!!! and do NOT let Andrion get away.. I will deal with him, after talking to the Mage..."

She is swallowed by the portal, and disappears...

a lonely howl filters back through the portal as it slams shut behind her, leaving Andrion to Arcades...

OOC: AHHH... the intrigue.... the secrecy.... the.. the... MWAHAHAHAhahahaah..

"Oh, Andrion wont be going anywhere. I'll see to that." The dragon smiles and turns his attention back to his captive. Using his index talon on his forepaw, he leaves two deep gashes in Andrion's calfs. These wounds were deep enough to keep him from going anywhere on his own untill the muscles healed.

Taking his Elvish form, he grabs Andrion by the collar and drags him toward the tavern, where everyone was gathered and removed Andrion's wig and disguise so the other party members could see who he was. "I've found Larry's attacker. I had to injure him to keep him from getting away. He'll need some medical attention, but other than that, we should be kept under constant guard."

[dplax]

OOC: actually it was not a wig, but hair dye, but I'll let that go

Andrion Wilgor ??/60 (probably some damage from the two gashes)

With force of will Andrion did not cry out in pain when the dragon clawed him deeply. While being dragged towards the tavern he tried moving his legs, but could not, but he made no comment. When his disguise was removed he looked at everyone who was gathered in the tavern. Some people were missing. He hoped they were dead. He also could not see Larry and wondered whether he lived. He really did not care. He had failed, miserably. He was now probably of no use to his master now. He thought about ending his life by trying to cast a magical spell, but then an idea formed in his mind and it was with that idea that he fell unconscious because of the loss of blood.

Vincent Pathfinder 98/98

ooc: geez a fellow is forced to take time off, goes to show, time waits for no one [img]smile.gif[/img] Hope this isnt out of place.

ic:

While running from his vantage point time seemed to hold still for him, he saw Larry fall before he could even get out of the bushes, and everyone jumped into a fast pace. He watched the goblin attempt to slip away, Arcades change form a man changed into a bird before he got half way to the trail. Everyones voices were slowed, as if talking through a tube from a far distance, words barely discernable. He knew Larry was dead before the man hit the ground, a few moments later he saw the merchant, and then he saw Arcades slam him to the ground just as Liam was midflight to do the same. Liam seemed to float like a dragonfly does on the winds, and just as quickly he changed his direction avoiding the massive dragon. He didnt hear what Arcades said to Liam but since he was nowheres near to the tavern and everyone else he decided to follow him, they may be more then one assailant. Checking the winds as a hunter would and keeping the bluring form of Liam in sight he made sure to stay downwind as to obscure his scent. When he heard a womans voice similar in accent to Liam's and the comments tossed between them he got himself to a decent vantage point and knew his suspicions were true, Liam was a lycanthorpe, and so maybe his prey was to. Keeping to the fliage ans slipping from shadow to shadow he was using all his abilities of stealth and stalking he had ever learned. He finally got to a point where he could make out the mobile assailant and just as he got in sight Liam charged forward with a growl." I'm going to have to time this just right so I dont hit him" keeping to the shadow's he krept and waited for the right moment, ready with bow or blade depending.

OOC>>>I think it is time to deal with Nanashi and Liam, and change the battlefield a bit.

Nanashi

Liam had discovred her hiding place, and Nanashi's sense of smell told her an elf was nearby, but she did not know where. She had to deal with Laim right now, though. He came leaping in with a fiery heart of terrible power, and she jumped out of hiding to meet him with equal rage.

"I am yourrr sisterrr you fool, and I will avenge my motherrr's death which you arrre rrresponsible forrr!"

Then they collided in mid-air, Nanashi taking the claws from her enemy just as she dealt them back into him of her own.

Then gravity began to call them down.
