Jek: [Falls through]

Tesmir: Jek!!

Rune: Chayn, Rowen!

Rowen: [Lifts wings for take off]

Suragore: [Slams into Rowen, knocking him down]

Chayn: [Noses Shawn briefly before unfurling her wings]

Mordir: Zurik!

Zurik: You're grounded, dragon. [Throws a dagger]

Chayn: [Roars in pain as it pierces her shoulder]

Zurik: [Turns and slashes at Rinifer from behind]

Jek: [Lands on a lower rafter on his side, knocking the breath out of him]

Tesmir: No! [Runs forward]

Rune: Tesmir, wait!

Jek: I'm alright, little brother. [Glares up at the villains] You can't.... get rid of me... that... easily. [Vines lower themselves into a looped seat, dangling by Trina]

Mordir: Don't let her get to him!

Jek: [Slowly tries to get to his feet] I'm not finished yet.

Tesmir: Should we tell Hakor?

Rune: Are you kidding? The boy would go berserk.

Chayn: [Reaches behind her and tries to grab the knife in her teeth to pull it out] I'll kill them all. Every last one of them!

Rowen: [Swipes at Suragore] I'm with you on that one, sister. At least the seventh son is safe.

Tounon: Argh! [Whips around and slices horizontally, but twists his blade into a thrust, lowering himself to get beneath Elanhil's sword]

Me: I will figure this out.

Cassie: Kimun's way looked complicated. What simple ways are there to 'disable' your opponent? At least enough to get him under my control?

Me: I copied and pasted all of Kimun's lessons and printed them out. ^^ Now I have lots of good info for sword battles and such.

Corelle: I don't think I'll ever understand men. Why they want to go off and get themselves into danger is beyond me.

Aris: It's probably some internal need they have.

Seymour: And what about you? You wield a blade.

Aris: I travel. Usually alone or just with one or two people. I need to know how to defend myself, don't I?

Corelle: Let's not start an argument. Turning against each other won't do you heroes a bit of good against this villain rebellion. Someone needs to put that Mordir in his place. The rascal is the cause of all this trouble-

Me: OK, you've said your piece.

Mordir: I'm not doing anything right now. I think I'm still under Ember.

Skylar: *grins* *cuts a vine out of the net* *attaches it to one of the broken vines, so that it dangles closer to the floor* Follow me, Raczr. *tosses Jek's sword away before sliding down the vine* *jumps the last distance and lands lightly on his feet*

Trina: I don't trust any vines with those villains above me. *swings higher, then pauses and draws her blade with a jewel-studded hilt*

Rinifer: *looks up* be careful! *runs a distance away, behind Skylar and...whoever is with him so they can't see him and then does a pullup onto a low rafter*

Merashath: *settles directly in front of Brian, eyes piercing* Come, Brian. Cease this foolery.

Cuoash: Don't listen to him, Brian!

Devon: *follows Rinifer*

Brian: *raises eyebrow* Do you take me as a fool you can manipulate with words? I assure you, I am no fool.

Raczr: *follows*

Shawn: "No! Chayn!" *runs to her and pulls the knife out* *applies pressure to the wound*

Jay: "Shawn, go."

Shawn: "I-"

Jay: "Go, help. I... can't right now. Thysal, you go too."

Shawn: *bites her bottom lip and climbs up onto Chayn* "Let's do this."

Fallen: *head jerks back* *hisses* *shadows solidify around Tynx's neck and start to tighten* Most of the time, yes. I don't suppose you ever bother cooking your food?

Tynx: [Fur bristles into needle-sharp points] Not usually. I enjoy a cooked meal when I can get it, but if I can't, I go for raw. I lived with humans, so I got a lot of cooked foods. Especially some really nasty long green vegetable. That was awful.

Jek: [Slowly, stands up, one hand pressed against his side to relieve the pain] Oh, come on, you don't even return my sword? [Vines shoot out at Raczr and Skylar]

Mordir: Haha, he's feeling trapped.

Tesmir: [Bites his lower lip anxiously]

Chayn: [Nuzzles Shawn gratefully, then lowers herself so Shawn can climb up. She turns her head around and bumps Jay gently, then looks him in the eye] Don't try anything while we're gone, little one. Call if you need help. [Takes off, roaring] Where to first, rider?

Cassie: Be careful!

Chayn: [Rushes overhead] I think everyone abandoned carefulness when this whole thing began, little one.

Rune: I hope not. We can't all be reckless. We need at least someone who still has his wits about him.

[An arrow whizzes past the vine Skylar just used, missing it by mere inches]

Mordir: Oh, what now?

Jek: [Peers into the shadowy rafters, but doesn't see anyone] I think you missed.

???: I know, I can't see squat in this inky blackness.

Jek: Rather daring of you to try, then.

???: Hey, can't say I didn't try.

Mordir: Crud.

Meriak: [Screeches and darts into the shadows]

Jek: Well, there goes that line of help.

Seymour: Way to stay positive, son.

Merashath: Oh, I am sure you are no fool. Which is why you'll listen to me. Take a minute, look around yourself. Tell me what you see.

Cuoash: *looks puzzled*

Rinifer: *continues to climb upward, without making a noise.

Trina: *is on the rafters directly below Skylar. She swings upwards and lifts her sword to his neck* Hello!

Elanhil: Is it my move?

Brian: *doesn't look around* I see a group of villains attacking a group of characters that have done nothing to hurt them. Your point being?

Me: (@Elanhil) Skylar was on the ground. Did you mean Devon?

Thysal - (Glances around) But what can I do? Attack someone? The other dragons are on the villains. Quite literally.

Ember - (Releases Mordir) Emuna is freed, you can go. Sylvia?

Sylvia - (Swings up on Ember) C'mon! Lets go help Jek!

Ember - (Takes off, leaving Mordir behind)

Ashrai - (In the shadows, only his eyes are visible) It appears that I'm not alone in here. Who are you, Archer?

Thysal - I'll go. But call me when you need me, Jay! (Takes off after Chayn)

Kuura'zan - (strides over to Mordir and helps him up) You still recruiting villains and antagonists?

Niarah - (Feels useless)

Sumira - (Taps claws boredly on the ground next to her)

Me - Did I get everything? (Is aware of her poor grammar in this post)

Merashath: What I see is a group of heroes who will very likely stand until they see this battle won, but with the likes of me and Fallen, many will fall. I see promise, riches, and power in your future, if you would just join with me.

Me: Yeah, I guess so... Whoever is up there...

Rinifer: *swings stealthily upwards*

Cuoash: Brian, be strong.

Merashath: *turns to her* You stay away from me! *he pins her to the ground, and places his talon around her neck, fire blazing deep within his eyes* Remain silent. Until Brian releases the shield you will be silent and you will not move. If he isn't fast enough...*tightens his grip on her neck*

Cuoash: *Cough* Brian! Give Emuna time to *cough cough* recover! Don't.....mind me.

Tounon: I do believe it is. Aris?

Me: Working on it.... yeah, it is. Tou sliced horizontally, but then twisted his slice into a thrust, ducking down enough to get under Elanhil's sword.

Tounon: What she said.

Jek: [Looks down] Too high to jump...

Tesmir: He seriously debated jumping?

Rune: Jek can be a strange man sometimes. At one point, you can more or less predict what he'll do, and other times.... you can't.

Tesmir: I was expecting something a little more descriptive other than 'you can't.'

Mordir: [Scowls at Emberl] Thank you very much. [Looks at Kuura'zan] You bet we are. The more the better.

Tynx: Isn't it supposed to be merrier?

Mordir: Whatever. This isn't merry.

Me: Not Pippin, either. [Gets whacked with a dictionary] Hey!

Mordir: Not just for characters anymore.

Me:

Chayn: [Roars her welcome] Who first?

???: [Jumps in surprise. Looks at Ashrai with a smile] I'm Jek's twin.

Tesmir:

Hakor: What? You didn't think I'd realize my brother was missing?

Me: I didn't know Ashrai was up there.... creepy...

Zurik: Creepy?

Me: Yah, creepy.

Zurik: You have an odd definition of creepy.

Cassie: You're creepy.

Zurik: No one asked you, runt.

Cassie: I'm not a runt! I'm twelve years old!

Me: You really can't keep from picking on her, can you?

Zurik: [Shrugs] She's a Daren. Those people are annoying nuisances who never keep their noses out of other people's business and always decide to make it theirs and mess everything up!

Me: Did you have a specific moment in mind?

Zurik: ...No.

Tesmir: [Snorts in an effort to keep from laughing]

Brian: Join you? You're trying to bribe me? Really, Merashath that is a new form of low even for you. I would rather die than- *glares* Do you have a cruel obsession with capturing and holding hostage girls?

Emuna: Mm...wouldn't put it above him...

Devon: *slightly startled* *growls* Authoress!
Me: Nu-uh. You know the rules.
Devon: That's not fair, you know.
Me: *sighs* Fine. But no grappling!
Devon: *grins* *grabs Trina's wrist so that his thumbs are on the back of her hand* *twists so that her palm faces towards her back* *applies pressure*
Me: Sorry if I didn't describe that well. It's a wrist lock......which hurts (a lot).....which would typically make someone drop what they're holding.

Alexis: *yells* Merashath! Let Cuoash alone, or I will kill Pirzak!

Mordir: [Glares at Alexis] You better not.

Meriak: [Abandons the idea of attacking Hakor and flies at Alexis from behind, whipping her wings at her]

Mordir: [Looks around] We need a new plan... Zurik, what're the chances you can take a hostage?

Zurik: Are you kidding me? I got creamed just because I insulted someone. Do you know how much trouble I could get into if I tried kidnapping someone?

Mordir: We're villains, it's an occupational hazard! Alright, if you won't get someone, we need to take out their healers.

Aris: Oh, come on now! You'd attack people who haven't done you any harm?

Mordir: Yes.

Me: Brutal honesty's better than nothing, I guess.

Aris: You're not helping the situation.

Corelle: [Marches over to Merashath] You!

Seymour: Oh no.

Aris and Mordir: What?

Corelle: [Stands between Brian and Merashath] You, sir, are causing too much trouble. I've known plenty of troublesome people in my days, many of whom I've bounced on my knee, but you, I think, are the worst!

Seymour: [Rubbing his forehead with his thumb and middle finger]

Mordir: She.... wow.

Rune: I've never seen anyone be that gutsy.

Seymour: Oh, you should see her when she's really mad.

Mordir: [Clears throat] I'm not sure what to expect here...

Jek: [Face darkens] Leave her alone, Raczr.

Hakor: [Draws another arrow]

Jek: No, Hakor. You might hit her.

Hakor: I-

Jek: You nearly hit me, brother.

Hakor: I disagree entirely!

Jek: Just stay there.

Sylvia - Go Corelle!

Thysal - (Circles beneath the rafters) Jek, if you have to jump, I'm down here!

Ember - (Dives towards Meriak, colliding with her in midair)

Sylvia - (Shudders, and clings to Ember)

Me - I knew I've forgotten someone!

Zanya - (Clambers up on Rowen) Are you badly hurt?

Ashrai - (Shrugs) Stealth. It's a good thing, right? I didn't know Jek had a twin.

Me - Should've remembered.

Kuura'zan - I'm not accostumed to taking orders, but what first?

Niarah - Great. This is just great.

Sumira - Isn't that what Sylvia just said?

Niarah - Did you have to comment?

Sumira - (Shrugs, then wanders off to an empty area, twirling in an intricate dance)

Niarah - Show off ice dancer . . . (Casually waits for a villain to come close to her, bow at the ready)

Alexis: I will do it! I am not afraid. *tightens her hold on Pirzak*

Me: And Lexi's against a wall, so the Meriak can't come at her from behind.

Fallen: *releases the shadow and slams her elbow back into Tynx's body*

Me: I just remember she has shoulder length hair...so I think that would put him in reach of her elbow, anyway.

"It is easy to learn if you learn it progressively. The moves are simple once you know them."

* chuckles * Sounds good. Haha.

Okay, I think I'm clear on it now.

Griffin: (when Beduun pivots his knee, Griffin rams his knee into Beduun's back, slips out from underneath him, grabbing his wrist that holds the sword, snapping it and snatching the sword as it falls; swinging the blades in front of him, he walks forward, slashing at Beduun's chest and chopping at his leg)

Ah good, better.

Bëduuín drives forward, rehooking his legs inside Griffin's, his forward motion taking him completely out of the way of the force of the blow.

By the way, he is probably going to just hang out on there for a while. If you don't know how to handle grappling, you get tired out really fast, and Griffin doesn't. So he is just going to wait until Griffin is too tired to be able to resist.

Merashath: It's rather effective among heroes. They just can't stand to see little girls meet death. *looks at Pirzak, and then Cuoash* A fair trade, if you ask me, Alexis. *tightens his hold, and turns to Corelle* And who are you? What could you do? *breathes a tongue of fire in her direction*

Trina: Aah! *bites her lip and drops the sword*

Rinifer: Jek! The sword! *swings up and lands heavily on the rafter just behind Devon* Let her go.

Me: Wow, that's a lot of speaking for you.

Elanhil: *leaps backward to avoid the slash and parries the thrust* Tounnon, my good man, I believe it would be better for us to engage in the battle against the villains and continue our bout later. Many out there could use us. *looks concernedly at Cuoash* Especially her.

Brian: *crosses arms* Indeed, but not this time. I dare you, do as you wish with your hostage.

Emuna: Brian!

Brian: Shush!

Emuna: *goes silent and watches*

Brian: In fact, if you wish, I could kill her. Much more affective and you won't have her blood on your hands. Much easier...and as for Pirzak...one less villain means one less person to share your power with.

Emuna: *closes eyes* Okay, I get it.

Meriak: [Screeches and Claws at Ember's eyes]

Mordir: [Glares at Alexis]

Rowen: [Gets on his feet] I'm alright. I don't think I got bitten.

Me: Well, we'll know when you collapse.

Rowen: That's a lovely thought, Author.

Hakor: [Flashes a smile] Stealth is an excellent thing. I don't blame you for forgetting. Jek's the one who stands out most, at least he does now that we all found out about his magic. And, and his scar. That's really the only thing people can use to tell us apart.

Jek: You really had to bring that up?

Hakor: What?

Mordir: [To Kuura'zan] Well, right now we're trying to simply take out the villains. We need to knock any potential leaders from the equation. And maybe their healers. [Nods to various healers] But right now, their leaders are the main targets.

Cassie: So I learn while fighting?

Tynx: [Yelps and rolls across the ground, he stands up, eyes blazing with fury. He runs toward Fallen, firing light balls at random intervals]

Me: I'm gonna try another character soon.

Rune: Why?

Me: 'Cause I want to. He might not stay long, anyway. Has anyone seen Mark?

Tesmir: You're blaming his disappearance on him instead of on your own forgetfulness? Nice.

Me: Careful, or you might 'disappear' too.

Jek: [Looks down at Thysal] I'll keep that in mind, noble dragon. [Looks up and sends a vine lashing through the air and wrapping around the weapon, that snapping back, letting Jek catch the sword] Alright, where's Skylar?

Me: Down below, I think.

Jek: Of course he is. [Looks up at Rinifer] Do you need help up there?

Hakor: [Secretly draws another arrow]

Chayn: [Tries maneuver through the rafters, but is a bit too bit] How in Allare did my brother manage to fit through here, and I can't?

Rowen: I was going fast, I was in the lower ones anyway.

Corelle: [Eyes darken and puts her hands on her hips. As the flame nears her, a slight glimmer moves in front of her. The flame spreads all around her and only burns the grass] I can do more than what my stout frame suggests, sir. You and your band of ruffians are causing nothin' but trouble. I suggest you high-tail it out of here while you all still have some dignity and pride left to you, or else.

Mordir: Or else what?

Corelle: [Flashes her glare to him] Or else.

Mordir: [Blinks, but says nothing]

Seymour: Corelle, back away. We have need of you elsewhere.

Corelle: Sir-

Seymour: Move!

Corele: I'm sorry, Prince. I can't do that. [Looks at Merashath] As to who I am, I am Corelle, chief nursemaid of the Luvarian royalty, and chief healer.

Mordir: [Looks at me pleadingly]

Me: She won't move, unless she's too annoying for Elanhil (author).

Tounon: [Is about to slash again, but lets the swing whistle harmlessly down to the ground] I agree. [Looks out at the fighting] I didn't realize how intense this had gotten. Where first?

Tesmir: Brian! Are you crazy?!

Corelle: [Turns and looks at Brian, an eyebrow lifted]

Me: My response to this; "The good guys have leaders?! AWESOME! Where?!" K, carry on loosing your mind, Brian.

Brian: Crazy is such a terrible term...deranged, mentally compromised, really so many other terms.

Emuna: *opens eyes* You think you might be taking the taunting too far?

Brian: *smiles* No.

Emuna: *shakes head* You're going to get somebody killed.

Brian: No, I'm not.

Emuna: Assuming your plan works you're not. In the event it doesn't-

Brian: But it will.

Emuna: If it does not-

Brian: It will.

Emuna: It won't!

Brian: Yes, it will!

Emuna: *sighs* You're insane.

Brian: Agreed.

Elanhil: Corelle, keep your ground, don't let him sway you. Be warned, he isn't foolish. *looks nervously at Brian* What are you doing??

Merashath: *a fury of fire is kindled in his eyes, and he tightens his hold on Cuoash' neck, and raises her up so her feet are 2-3 inches above the ground* Just sit there and watch from behind you shield, you coward. *squeezes as tight as he can right as he says 'coward'*

Me: She's fine... (@Lady Aris)

Cuoash: *Eyes screw shut and she gags, moving her hands up to Merashath's talon, and tries to pry his claws loose*

Elanhil: Brian! Attack him! Magic can stop him, blades are useless.

Merashath: Give up, little general. That boy is a useless coward. Look at him behind that shield of his. He doesn't care for her life. *looks at Cuoash*

Trina: *tries to fight back, feeling frustrated with the pain* Rin--

Rinifer: *leaps through the air, slicing at Devon's legs, landing in a low crouch behind Devon* I told you to let her go. *kicks where he just sliced* --I think I got him, Jek.

Elanhil: Heroes! Try to form groups. They are stronger and harder of a target than just one man.

Emuna: Now?

Brian: Yah, now!

(Me: I must honestly say here...I don't think me or Brian really have a plan...)

Brian: *takes shield off and creates sword in his right hand*

Emuna: *shoots three large orbs at Merashath* *a bow and arrows of light appear in her hands* *shoots five arrows at Merashath*

Brian: *slashes at Merashath's shoulder* *creates orb in left hand* Uhh...I would suggest you close your eyes for a second, Cuoash. *throws orb at Merashath's talon and it explodes sending out a shock wave that only hits Merashath*

Emuna: *creates another orb carefully, taking longer time to make it* *holds orb suspended above her hands* *pauses* You really want me to throw this, Brian?

Brian: *runs up to Emuna* Just throw it!

Emuna: *shrugs* Fine... *holds hands up and the orb shoots into the air*

*the orb pauses high up in the sky before exploding into a lot of small flames of fire* *the separate flames of fire come down and fly around Merashath penetrating his arms, legs, and talons at different angles*

Me: For no plan that wasn't so bad...you know, for me.

Brian: Really? Do you have to put your two cents in now?

Emuna: Seriously...doesn't that ever get tiresome?

Me: What? Putting in my two cents? No, not really.

Fallen: *leaps to the side, sending a wide wave of light at Tynx*

Devon: *grimaces* What is it with you guys trying to decimate me? I hadn't had a chance to respond. Of course I'll let her go. *grins malevolently* *uses his good leg to sweep Trina's legs out from under her, causing her to lose her balance* *simultaneously lets go of her arms so she falls off the rafter* *leaps away from Rinifer to the nearest rafter* *rummages in his pocket*

Alexis: (@Merashath) You mistake my offer. Either you let Cuoash go and Pirzak lives, or you kill her and Pirzak also dies.

Me - Explosive.

Ember - (Roars in pain) Gerroff my face! (Crashes headfirst, with Meriak pinned between him and the wall)

Sylvia - (Falls and hits the ground) Ooof! Ember!

Me - Lovely.

Silver - (Stands up, again) D'ya think it worked yet?

Ryan - Don't know. Are you dead?

Silver - (Growls)

Ryan - Right. (Goes over to examine Rowen)

Zanya - Well, I'm glad you're alive. (Sniffs his scales) I can't smell venom in your blood, so I think you're good.

Ryan - The Suragore, is it gone yet?

Thysal - Trina! (Swoops beneath Trina so that she lands on her back) Are you alright?

Kuura'zan - Ahh, remove a snake's head and the resistance dies. Though divide and conquer is a more preferable strategy. So, who do we need to annihilate at the moment. (Brings forth a recurve bow, and notches a lethal Ice Shard to the string)

Me - Should I explain the Shards?

Niarah - I would. People should avoid them.

Me - Maybe they wouldn't have the same effects in here.

Niarah - It's Biology.

Me - No, more like Cobha.

Niarah - (Shrugs)

Mordir: [Nods] That would work. We're kind of scattered all over at the moment, anyway. [To Bethany] Well, maybe not technically. They could be potential leaders.

Cassie: Ooh, cool. What's the most basic?

Corelle: [Glares at Merashath] You, sir, have a lot of nerve. You'd better put the girl down, before- [Stiffens as the explosion of orbs rush past her] Didn't expect that.

Tesmir: Are all Luvarians that intimidating?

Me: No idea, these two are the only ones I've really created.

Jek: [Nods, then looks down and carefully begins dropping form rafter to rafter]

Hakor: [Lifts his bows and fires an arrow at Devon] You're really pushing your limits, y'know.

Tynx: [Jumps over the light wave, but he doesn't land on his feet] Darn it! I was so close that time!

Me: You're not a cat.

Tynx: I'm close. [Runs at Trina again, but then bolts to the left and fires another light ball at her from there]

Meriak: [Screeches in Ember's ear] Get off of me! [Kicks at his throat]

Rowen: I don't know where it went. It should be- [Gets barreled over by the Suragore]

Suragore: [Roars and springs at Ryan, closing its hood as he gets closer, hoping to trap him inside]

Rowen: [Roars and gets to his feet, but winces as a bite wound begins to bleed] Oh, rats.

Tesmir: I've got it.

Rune: Tesmir, no!

Jek: Are you crazy?!

Tounon: [Jumps at Tesmir, and pins him down] You're no help to anyone if you get bitten.

Tesmir: Get off!

Seymour: [Runs over] Sometimes I wonder if dragons can be just as reckless as humans.

Chayn: [Rumbles with laugher] We can be.

Rowen: We're passionate and reckless. We have quite the reputation going for us, don't we?

Mordir: [Quietly to Kuura'zan] Alright, I'm taking out Brian. [Comes up stealthily behind Brian and slices his back, then pushing forward in a thrust]

Me: That seems to be a recurring move I use. Slicing/slashing followed up by a thrust...

Tesmir: [Shoves Tounon off of him and stands up, slightly irritated]

Tounon: I'm sorry, Tesmir. You know what happens to you if you get bitten and healed.

Tesmir: So what? Should that stop me from helping?

Rune: It should when you consider the fact that you're left very weak after taking in flower's blood.

Chayn: [Swoops down low by Skylar] Surprise.

Me: Well, potential leaders then...who would they be?...I think Seymour, any of Sir Emeth's characters...huh...I got nothing. Good guys need some set in stone leaders.

Gavin: I cou-

Me: Not now!

Gavin: *goes back to hiding in corner*

Me: This is entirely out character yet somehow in character...is that even possible?

Gavin: Evidently so.

Me: Oh, look, I answered my own question.

Gavin: No, I answered your question...

Me: Same thing.

Gavin: No.

Me: Yes.

Gavin: No.

Me: *glares*

Emuna: *smiles* That was the point, Miss Corelle. We couldn't very well do something expected less they anticipate our obvious move...and our author likes to play with our abilities to see exactly what we can Do without being unrealistic...like Fantasy is realistic...

Me: Excuse me?!

Emuna: Well, it's not exactly- *sees Mordir out of the corner of her eye* Brian!

Brian: What?! *barely dodges slice and turns around* *blue light covers his hand and he grabs Mordir's sword as Mordir thrusts towards him* *pulls Mordir's sword toward himself and kicks Mordir's chest simultaneously* *creates sword of light in his other hand while in this position and slices and Moridr's free arm*

Emuna: (@Mordir) You just don't give up. Do you?!

Me: Haha, what's the fun in that?

Ryan - Found it!

Zanya - ROWEN!

Ryan - (Ducks, and stabs upwards) Ack!

Silver - (Leaps forward, trying to pin the Suragore's head beneath her claws) NO!

Kuura'zan - Got it. (Whips up his bow and fires the Shard at Seymour)

Me - Right, brief rundown. Shards are icicle-like in appearence, but long and slender. They are coated with a chemical which freezes over any open wound it inflicts, causing a slow poison to circulate in the bloodstream. When fired, a Shard will shatter into slivers, causing more damage, but they are incredibly accurate.

Niarah - Call that brief? You sound like your own Physics teacher!

Me - Of course, cobha is different here, so I wouldn't be surprised if Seymour didn't get hit . . .

Sumira - (Shudders)

Ember - Heyyyy! (Backs away from Meriak, snarling)

Sylvia - (Goes to help her dragon)

Me - (Really thinks this thread would be an epic, confusing movie . . .)

Devon: *ducks and the arrow flies harmlessly by* Am I really?

Skylar: *jumps back a little in surprise but recovers quickly* Hello *looks at Chayn warily* Are you one of the fire-breathing ones? *thinks and takes something out of his pocket* How do they kill dragons in fantasy books? I think it's the eye. *expertly throws pocketknife at Chayn's eye* *ducks behind a pillar*

Hëtsila steps forward and tells Cassie to grab her neck like she is trying to choke her. She then bends at the waist, moving her head in a U shape, coming up on the outside of Cassie's arms, breaking the grip with ease. "That's it. Now you try, and I will help you." She then positions her hands on Cassie's neck and waits.

This really is a real move, guys, by the way.

Merashath: *growls, and keeps his tight hold on Cuoash. He dodges several of the orbs/arrows, but gets hit by some of them. He shrinks back, and when the fire comes down from the big orb, a deep low laugh rumbles up from his belly as he is regenerated. He drops Cuoash when the orb hits his arm, and flies away, pleased with himself*

Cuoash: *Lies there limp*

Elanhil: *Runs up to where she is lying and feels her pulse*

Trina: Aaaah! *lands on Thysal, and presses herself low to her back* Thanks! Whoa! *looks at Tynx* Hey, I'm a good guy!

Rinifer: *sees that Trina is caught, and then filled with rage turns to Devon* You rascal! *Jumps from rafter to rafter chasing him*

Brian: Emuna, can you check on Cuoash?

Emuna: *nods* *glares at Mordir* But I'm watching. *strolls over to Elanhil and Cuoash* May I offer my assistance?

Me: Mm... I need to throw a nurse into my MCs.

Emuna: What am I?

Me: Well, you're not solely a nurse. Sort of a multi-tasker there.

Emuna: *crosses arms* Excuse me? If I recall my history correctly I studies nursing fo-

Me: Okay! Okay!...don't have to be so touchy.

Emuna: *smiles* Glad you see things my way.

Me: *grumbles* Never didn't...

Elanhil: *holds a feather up to her nose. It doesn't move. He turns to Emuna* Thank-you, yes. We must hurry, she's alive, but not breathing...

Merashath: *Off at a distance watching like a hawk*

Me: How can someone be alive, but not breathing? I'm assuming she's somewhat human so that would give Emuna three minutes in the event that a minute hasn't already been wasted so three minutes would be three posts...and..Uhh...yeaaaah, breathing isn't an easy fix. The only fix I know for that is mouth to mouth which is blech.

Gavin: Are you through rambling?

Me:

Emuna: Does she have a pulse? I'm afraid I don't know very many procedures for this scenario...

Me: Or rather...I don't.

Devon: *begins to swing off the rafter as Rinifer approaches* *stabs him in the calf with his pocketknife* *drops to the rafter below* *hauls himself up to another rafter behind Rinifer*

Mordir: Argh! You little brat! [Grunts as Brian's kicks hims. He deflects the sword and steps back, glancing at Emuna] I don't I never will.

Suragore: [Roars and closes its hood around Rynan, snapping at him while whipping its tail at Silver, roaring again angrily]

Rowen: [Lays still while Seymour tends to his wound] I wasn't paying attention...

Seymour: Don't beat yourself up about it. [Winces and staggers back as the shards strike him. He glares at Kuura'zan and takes out his staff. He sprints forward and slashes at the villain's chest] You picked the wrong Luvarian.

Hakor: [Lets another arrow fly, but this one just barely grazes Rinfier's shoulder] Oops. Sorry!

Chayn: [Swoops down again] No, I don't breathe fire. [Pours a glob of poisoned drool over Skylar as she comes back around] I breathe poison [Turns her head, so the knife bounces off her scaly neck, then lands, looking around carefully, her ears flicking]

Cassie: [Does as Hetsila tells her, and watches, wide-eyed, as Hetsila removes herself form the grasp] Oh, cool. [Eagerly tries to do the same, but stops] Uh, how did you do the U-thing again?

Me: I can't seem to picture it. WHich way does she bend at the waist?

Corelle: [Watches Merashath fly off, her eyes flashing, she never once blinks, never taking her eyes off him]

Tynx: [Looks up at Trina] I know you are. Did I say something to make you think otherwise?

Me: I don't have time to look now, this is already a rather rushed post.

Hakor: [Tries against with the arrows, but only strikes the wood at Devon's feet.] Aw, rats.

Rinifer: *brings his foot upward so that his heel strikes Devon's wrist, hopefully causing him to loose grip on the knife. He watches Devon, and turns around to face him when he comes back up* I wouldn...*glares at Hakor* Watch it! Are you for or against me?!?!

Me: Being a wizard, her body can be sustained naturally by magic for up to 15 minutes, but judging by her body size it would be more like 12 minutes. Yeah, I was thinking mouth to mouth, if you want Elanhil can do it...

Elanhil: Well thanks...

Me: Would you really mind??

Elanhil: N-o...

Me:

*Elanhil does the heroic thing and saves her life*

Cuoash: *breathing slowly*

Trina: You sort of attacked me instead of Fallen, methinks...

Brian: Hey! I am not the one that attacked you from behind! I would suggest you think twice next time you do such an ignorant thing. Not all heroes are as lenient as I can be.

Me: *chokes on water* You're lenient?

Brian: If I want to be.

Me: Right.

Brian: I haven't sliced his neck yet, does that count for nothing?

Me: Oh, yah, good point. That's so nice of you to not kill the guy, but rather just attack him with your sword...

Brian: After he attacked me!

Me: I know, I'm just saying. You are not lenient.

Brian: *crosses arms*

Me: No, seriously, Brian.

Brian: Fine.

Me: (@Caleb) Yah, sorry, but not even my MCs do that.

Emuna: Germaphob.

Me: I'd be happy if I were you.

Emuna: Right...wait...why?

Me: *sigh*

Thysal - (Perches on a rafter) Where to, Trina?

Ryan - (Inside the Suragore's hood) Great. Just perfect. Want to know how much I appreciate this? (Slashes at its nose with his dagger)

Silver - No! Ryan! (Claws at the Suragore's hood)

Me - Wow, I really need some form of snaky reptile in my world. (Really likes the Suragore)

Zanya - (Calms down, but watches anxiously) Will you be ok? (Starts as a Shard whizzes past)

Kuura'zan - (Jumps backwards from Seymour as two long curved swords appear in his paws. Retaliates by slashing with both at Seymour's torso) I'm not too worried . . . If those wounds freeze up, you're at my mercy.

Sumira - (Whirls, and spots Kuura'zan) Oh no . . . I didn't know he was here.

Niarah - Did he get hit? I don't have passionflame . . .

Sumira - I have it. Seymour!

Ashrai - (Toys with a knife) Little need for assassins here, is there?

Me - The last one left after it got crazy in here.

Ashrai - Hmm. Pity.

Hakor: [Holds up hands] I'm completely for you, sir. Sorry. [Carefully makes his way into a lighter area] There we go, now I can see the arrow tip.

Jek: You were shooting and you couldn't even see the arrowhead?!

Hakor: Um.... yeah.

Jek: Are you crazy?! Tilmere would strangle you for being so stupid!

Hakor: Who's the one who picked a fight with two villains and nearly got himself killed?

Rune: Knock it off, boys.

Tounon: Will she be alright, Elanhil?

Tynx: I did?! I apologize, once I'm done with Falen, I will apologize formally. [Turns to Fallen and fires another light ball]

Me: Hmm, maybe one of your balls strayed off course.

Tynx: That's bad.

Mordir: [Rolls eyes] I was talking to your girlfriend, kid. [Slashes again at Brian, but ducks just before his sword reaches Brian's, so his blade sweeps along Brian's knees]

Me: Almost called Brian Devon.

Suragore: [Roars angrily and pushes its snout up against Ryan's chest and presses him against the wall of its hood, glaring at him. It opens its mouth in a snarl, but does nothing else]

Me: Hehe...

Rowen: Why are you laughing?! This is no time for humor! [Turns to Zanya] I'll be fine. But we need to get Ryan out.

Suragore: [Lashes its tail out in Silver's direction]

Me: I'll try to get a drawing of him up. I'm glad you like him.

Seymour: [Brings his staff down with its dull end meeting the two blades. He swings his staff up and over, redirecting the swords] I'll take my chances.

Corelle: Why must men be so reckless!?

Seymour: We fight to protect.

Aris: [Looks around] So... who's protecting who?

Tesmir: I guess everyone. In their own way.

Seymour: [Glances at Sumira] Any help would be greatly appreciated. But if it will cause harm to you, I don't wish you to get too involved.

Me: Sometimes I don't get you.

Seymour: Of course you do. I'm a part of you. So is all your other characters.

Zurik: [Tosses a dagger, whose blade is alive with flames, in Ashrai's direction] You look bored, sir.

Suragore: [Lifts its head, hood still closed. It blinks, looking straight at Ryan]
Call off your dragons

Cassie: [Squeals] It can talk!

Me: A little crummy demand. But I didn't know what else it should say, if anything at all.

Mordir: Oh, brilliant. The flying snake manages to take a hostage, and we can't.

Me: It's, like, ten times bigger than you.

Mordir: So? It's up against two dragons, a shape-shifter, and a human!

Cassie: You fail very badly.

Mordir: Keep your nose out of it.

Fallen: *deflects Tynx's light ball* You do realize I can keep this up for a very long time? *sends multiple beams of light at Tynx*

Devon: (@Rinifer) *fumbles the knife but manages to catch it in his other hand* *eyes spark* You woudn't what? Huh? *laughs at Hakor's useless arrows*

Skylar: Oh. *dodges poison spit, but some lands on his shoe* Eww. *shakes it off as best as he can. *sprints and picks up his pocketknife* *climbs up the wall onto a rafter* *jumps onto Chayn's back* Can't get me up here!
