"What the hell are these things?" Macad yelled as a wave of dark hunters rushed up to attack the group. The wolves were ferociously snarling and biting at the foes while Melina stayed in the back firing arrow after arrow.
"I believe they are called Dark Hunters. They are the corrupt sisters of the sightless eye." Drango summoned another wolf not allowing for the body to stay behind.
"Are you sure we should be killing them. Maybe we can save them." Melina stopped firing and moved away from the large bulk so she would not endanger herself.
"No they are to corrupt. Andariel evilness has sunk in to deep. The only salvation for them is us allowing their souls be passed on." Drango moved behind his wolves and watched as they brought another one down, leaping on it and ripping its throat out.
They had passed Flavie, who stood guard between the entrance to the Cold Plains and Blood Moor. She did not want them to pass but upon hearing of the heroes completion of the Den of Evil she allowed tem to venture into the Cold Plains but not with out a warning. Aura still at the back helped out with her ice bolts slowing everything down tremendously. Every time someone killed a Dark Hunter another raced to join the fray. After about four or five kills, Aura felt stronger but allowed the power to flow through her but allowed for her energy to expand. Macad summoned two skeletons from bodies and with this new strength, the Dark Hunters died faster. When they were all vanquished Aura made her fire bolt better, allowing for more damage.
The bodies dropped nothing except potions and a quiver of arrows which Melina did not pick up, she already had to many. They continued their journey. They noticed a weird symbol on the ground right in front of the entrance to the Cold Plains. They had not noticed it before due to the fight with the Dark Hunters.
"Do you think we should touch it?" asked Macad. In the distance he heard the sounds of the fallen ones. They would have to deal with them later. "It looks like one in town."
"Men are so afraid. Where I'm from that is why women rule." Melina walked onto the symbol and instantly disappeared.
"Melina!" yelled Drango. He looked around but did not see her. He walked up to the symbol but did not disappear. Then suddenly Melina appeared on top of Drango, pinning him to the ground.
"Move you oaf!" She gave Drango a good hard smack and then stood up. "Akara calls it a waypoint. If you think of a place that you have activated a waypoint in you will automatically teleport their." Drango got up.
"Better than wasting teleport scrolls. Let's continue for a few more hours and go back to rest." Everyone agreed and they walked to the sounds of the fallen.
They arrived at the site of a large camp covered with fallen and their fallen shamans. Their also appeared to be one of abnormal color. Being orange rather than the usual red.
"So this must be Bishibosh's little tangent of Andariel's army. Not much is known about him but he is hard to kill, even more so than Corpsefire." Drango's wolves stayed at his side while they took everything in. But Bishibosh did not do the same.
"Kill them." He yelled in a harsh and guttural cry. Pandemonium ensued. A wave of fire bolts rushed at them while the fallen ran forward. Macad's skeletons and his golem joined with Drango's wolves. Melina focused on attacking the shamans while Aura provided backup fire for the skeletons and wolves. Aura cast her fire bolt in rapid succession but whenever a fallen fell, it would then be resurrected by a shaman. Melina fired an arrow and watched it pierce through the chest of a shaman. It sank to its knees and fell.
"Ha-ha, one down four to go." Melina focused her attention on one that was about to fire a bolt at the wolves. Her mark hit but it did not bring it down. The shamans turn and focused on her, but Bishibosh was still preoccupied with the summons. The fire bolts came in a wave and Melina fired her own wave. The fire bolts came and Melina nimbly moved out of the way but two hit her singing her skin. At least the other three didn't hit me. Melina fired another arrow and brought down another shaman. Wait, another three? There should be only three left. But Melina watched as Bishibosh turned to his fallen comrade and brought it back to life. More fire bolts flew at her. "Aura, go for Bishibosh. While I take the shamans!"
Aura complied and fired her fire bolts at him. She downed a quick potion and continued her fighting. "It's not doing anything" yelled Aura as she watched her fire bolts just fizzle out when they hit Bishibosh.
"Use your ice bolt! He appears to be immune to your fire attack." Melina down another shaman. This is a real drain on my arrows.
Bishibosh turned to resummon the shaman back to life when a well aim bolt oif ice hit him in the side. Bishibosh turned to Aura. "You bastard." Bishibosh fired his fire bolt. Aura moved to the side and it missed. She tripped over a dead body revealing gold and mana potions.
Macad and Drango made short work with the fallen and moved onto help Melina with the shamans. A stray wolf of Drango moved to help attack Bishibosh. Aura sent a constant stream of ice bolts draining her energy supply but refilled them with potions. Melina and the skeletons and Drango's one wolf focused on the remaining shamans. The golem helped with Bishibosh protecting Aura from any bodily harm. Macad's skeletons started to die and Drango's two wolves were made of short work, but Macad summoned skeletons from the bodies of the fallen and Drango summoned his two wolves to help with Bishibosh while he physically attacked the shamans himself. Three shamans. Melina fired an arrow and the shaman had an arrow pierced through his skull. Two shamans. Another skeleton died but another took its place and Drango had to quaff a health potion. One shaman. It didn't stand a chance. The shaman found itself surrounded by four attackers. They all swung at it and the shaman fell. The necromancer's skeletons rushed to Bishibosh, but Aura's ice bolt struck and Bishibosh exploded. The two wolves left the mortal plain and the skeletons crumbled into a pile of dust. The necromancer looked at the pile and picked up a potion. The druid grabbed the remaining ones except for the mana potions. Aura was stronger her fire bolt spell increased. Her strength increased as muscle started to form. Melina picked up arrows from a fallen and picked up the amulet that dropped. She identified it.
"Hmm. Snakes amulet. Adds to mana. Here Aura you can have it." She tossed it to the sorceress who put it around her neck.
"Thanks Melina. I believe we should go back I'm kind of tired." The sorceress looked pleadingly at everyone hoping for an agreement.
"Yes, I think that should be best." They moved to the waypoint tired from their long fight.

Anyway sorry it took so long and I didn't even do Blood Raven. I really need to learn to make the battles shorter unless that is what you like. Again reviews are wanted and ideas are great. Give me ideas such as items and skills and your ideas about my length of the fights, if they are to long by all means tell me. This time I will make the next chapter one about Blood Raven and MagicMan/Smokegirl Blood Raven will have a sniper battle just for you guy/gal or both. It'll be between Blood Raven and Melina
