BG2 Bar 8 - Beersurection

[Link]

We're talking major carnage here, waverider! We're fighting a bunch of evil robots, so join in. Everything's free!

Link watches the others speed towards the entrance. His feelings tell him something just ain't right here. Something's not what it should be.
" Hey guys!" he starts, but immediately realises that his warning comes to late.
The group in front of him steps on a trap, and suddenly everywhere around them Sentry Robots emerge out of the ground.
Angrily they walk towards the group, and Link realises that it is he who should do something now. He's been saved numerous times by the famed Lord Shield, and many others, but now, the seeming invincible bartender of the BG2 bar, is in deperate need of some help.
" Back to the old powers then" Link mumbles, and he charges up for a violent fight. A red aura surrounds him for a brief moment, and his eyes begin to shine with an unearthly glow.
"Coming guys!" he yells, and then Link speeds up towards the group which is seriously in danger. While running he draws his Mithril Sword, and in no time he has reached the first line of Sentry Robots. His blade swiftly decapitalizes this one, and the head of the robot falls on the ground. Dead.
" One down, a zillion to go." Link grins. He likes the odds. He points his head towards the sky and yells long and loud. The power of this one warrior is shown, when lightning flashes, and he is surrounded by a blinding light. Suddenly the light is gone, and there he stands. Link, transformed in ultimate warrior style. He has performed this transformation one time earlier, but no one at the bar has seen it before.
Links hair flashes from blue to black, and electrical charges are whizzing all around him. Still with his eyes shut, the Elite Warrior of Myst lengthens himself, and then opens his eyes. They're glowing even redder than before.
" Time to meet your maker, droids!" Link whispers and with one move, he kills three of the Sentry Robots. Then he performs a Master Whirlwind Attack (NOTE: this can only be performed when an Elite Fighter has reached the 50th level). Parts of robots are flying around and Link whizzes towards the group of adventures. When he reaches Tancred the flurry of sword and flesh stops and Link stands still.
" You alright kid?" he asks Tancred, and before Tancred can answer, Link walks up to Lord Shield.
"Shield. I propose a frontal attack. These droids, and Link nodds in the direction of the robots, are nothing compared to our powers. The droids stand still. Can it be that they're scared? Can it be that Links transformation caused fear in the robots?
" Let's go!" Link yells and the group attacks the Sentry Guards..

"A frontal attack? Not likely - they know we're here though. Any entrance will be equally protected"

OOC: Cheek! LS needing rescue indeed

Now let's get on that hovercraft and head for the island

OOC: BTW, waverider, I think there's a size limit on Sigs

Grunting nosily as they moved towards the bank of the island the large group of hobgoblins positioned themselves in cover, bows drawn taught and pointed at the intended approach of the adventures. Standing in the shade of a small cloud that floated high above them, blocking out the sunlight the smaller of the two began to speak.

"We first?” the voice was very soft; seeming to be barely audible it was obviously that of a young girl.

"Yes... after they have chewed through the cannon fodder.” the second voice was slightly louder and more assertive, still quite is recognisable of that of a young boy.

"Excited?"

"Sure... I still don't see why we don't all attack at once."

"I think master wants to test them, plus he must want enough of them to make it through so that he has some fun of his own. Still we have nothing to worry about, death holds no fear for us. Oh, brother can you help me I think I’ve still got some of that wizard stuck in my fangs."

************************************************** ******************************

"Sixty four bottles of ale on the wall, sixty four bottles of ale. If one of those bottles was to topple they'd be sixty three bottles of ale on the wall." The hulking android chirped as the three dour looking warriors continued traipsing across the blasted landscape.

"Kill me now.” came the simple mental command issued to the anti-paladin who was currently trying to rearrange his helmet to block out the sound.

"If I killed you", replied the black knight telepathically, " I would lose the only pleasurable thing about this, the fact that your hearing is even more sensitive than mine."

The mind flayer let out a short hiss of protest before giving up and instead holding it's arms to block its ears.

The android was just about to round his sixty second bottles when all three of the fighters fell silent, the shape of the tower becoming faintly visible in the distance.

"Wow.” was all the anti-paladin could muster as he gazed at the imposing shape of the tower and the bolts of magical lighting that raged around it.

"Look at the clouds,” said the android, pointing his arm (currently in the shape of an ice pick) at the storm that raged over the tower, a circle of dark clouds rotating around a point at the centre of the tower.

There was a moment’s pause as the three, as one, noticed what was missing from the scene.

"Er...” the anti-paladin's visor twisting into a confused frown, "where's the door?"

[Nanobyte]

After Shade had dismembered himself from his two companions, he made his way to the top of the Tower. As he was cautiously moving from room to room, he began to hear a soft noise coming below him. As he put his ear to the wall, he could hear someone banging on the walls below him. A short conversation takes place, and the wall beating continues. The Elf smirks. "Indeed, they will bash their way from one end to the other. I thought the other Thieves had given up on this Tower, once they learned that the entrance is a good ten stories above the base of the structure.." The Assassin continues up, passing floors every few minutes. In around 20 minutes, Shade had made his way to the top. Picking the magical lock off the door, he proceeded into the room. Stumbling over disbelief, the Elf let out a short 'GASP' as he caught sight of the Mage. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be dead!" Halfway between his outburst, the Mage turns to face the Assassin, revealing the rotting skin, pale irises of the bloodshot eyes, and the foul presence of a... Lich. When the features come into view, Shade stumbles backwards, down the flight of stairs he had just ascended.

[Neb]

While the group of adventurers journey onwards, a gigantic spectral hand suddenly appears, before anyone can react, it closes around Kivan, Rissa and Ben, they and the hand then dissapear.

Some time later, Kivan is awakened by someone kicking him in the ribs and a familiar voice, which he can't quite remember who owns, saying to him, "Wake up you lazy ranger, I've summoned you here for a reason and it's not to look at you and your pals sleeping on the floor of my cell." Kivan opens his eyes and looks up at a Sorcerer in a red robe who looks a lot like Neb, he groans as he remembers who this is, Rissa and Ben also wake up, even though they wake up slower than Kivan since they didn't have the help of a well-placed kick, Kivan stands up, checks that all his equipment is still where it was before they were transported to the cell, and talks to the Sorcerer, "Well Kharanax, I thought we'd seen the last of you after you left for Baator to find a cure for your curse, did you find one?" Kharanax answers, "I found a cure, but I have yet to use it since it can only be used on the Plane of Slaughter in which we find ourselves at this moment and the spell components I had gathered for the spell that would break the curse has been taking from me by my jailers, but enough of this talk, I summoned you here to cut through my cell door with your Vorpal Blade, you still have it right?" Kharanax looks worried at the thought that Kivan might have lost his weapon, "This cell is filled with a powerful anti-magical field, the spell I used to get you here was the only one I could get through the field and I can't break down the door since it requires a Vorpal Blade to cut through since my jailers thought no mage or sorcerer would bring one, they didn't count on me bringing in reinforcements, but now, cut through the door so we can get out of here, I tire of talking." Without comment Kivan draws his blade and swiftly removes the door, he also destroys the robotic guardian outside the cell, Kharanax, Rissa and Ben follow him through the destroyed door, Kharanax says, "I think we had best work together to get out of this place, the guardians here are not all as easy to destroy as this one, by the way, I managed to find out that two of your friends are trapped in the cell next to mine, Siria and Dacuben I think they are called, do you think we shall free them?" "Of course we should free them!" shouts Rissa, "We can't just leave them here to rot!", "Well actually we can," responds Kharanax, but, seeing Rissa's fists clench and her hand straying to the hilt of her enchanted scimitar "Magebane" quickly adds, "But I wouldn't dream of doing that!" he then disentigrates the cell door, freeing Siria and Dac, who thank their rescuers, even though they're a bit surprised that Kharanax is the one who freed them. Kivan takes his place as leader of the small party, and they journey off through a nearby tunnel which leads down, even though they can feel that they're pretty far underground, they do this because of Kharanax's reasoning that, "Noone would ever expect them to go even farther down.".

(OOC: I'll make sure that my little party here bumps into the rest of you soon enough, or you can bump into them.

Dac is a mage, specialising in Enchantment and Invoking spells.
Siria is a female warrior, her preferred weapon is the longsword.
Kharanax is a Sorcerer, I'll keep the nature of his curse a secret, but expect a surprise when he breaks it, he's not human even though he appears to be one.)

[Liliara]

Liliara cautiously moves from her hidden point against the stone to regain her sense of direction. As she backs away, she looks up the structure which has given her shelter and as it stretches towards the sky and disapears into the clouds, she realizes this must be the tower of which Shade had spoken. She begins thinking of how to get in but her thoughts are turned to Skye. Yes, she is clumsy at times but something about her tells Liliara not to underestimate the girl's ability to take care herself. Liliara's thoughts turn to the painting which her mother had labored over for many years...she remembered her mother taking great pains to be sure each detail was correct and the sadness of the wild elf. The noble look on the face of the human man that she painted, each intricate detail of the sword. Liliara remembered the image of her father that her mother had created well. She kept it in her memory for the day they would meet...then...she could have her revenge! She turned toward the tower, her resolution burning within!

But Skye! She could not leave her! She retraced her steps and began to see a dim light growing stronger as she approached. The light peaked at the edge of a hole and Liliara peared down into it... "Skye?"

Perhaps she was close....

From the shadows, the silence of the evening is shattered by the sound of steel against steel....thena scream..then silence.....!

OOC: I don't know which party this was intended for, but I'm taking it for ours!

Liliara hears the meeting of steel coming from the maw of the hole as if in great battle. Skye! She quickly jumps into the hole hoping it isn't too far to the bottom. As she hits the ground, she hears a scream and then nothing. "Skye!?!"... She rushes forward down a corridor with her sword drawn, the blood rushing through her so fast she can hear it's pulse. "Skye!?" She shouts again.
