A S O D beyond level 4
The path that exposed itself through the burgeoning once golden stratled archway was still beheld with a magic warding.Fires of a mithral form swathed across the 5 ft reach,and sent through as a wall the next section did the same,creating a flow of fire walls that claimed the hall.Chealsoroy was concerned about how to get beyod this trap,it was not the same as the others and hadn't died with the undead it was keeping.
"I don't think a simple spell will work,if it's any worth,the items are probably held by just such a problem"Chealsoroy was considering the potions but remained skepticle.
"well,I don't think the price of running through and trying our claims in skill is without question,though if Xeina has little strength for a healing,then we are facing trouble"Alliyah commanded a response.
"it may be the fires are ment for undead,though that could be a bold assumption,maybe two – fold the burning on real flesh,I fear if we are to stay the course of actions healing must be used conservatively"Xeina retorted the exahsperations of everyones fears.
"I will pass my hand through,we'll know then"Kiazo then did so,and was lightly blemished,though a lesser degree of burning than what may have been told for the prisoners.
"who will go first,it can be done…nevermind I will"Kiazo claimed the honour of first attempt to cross the hall,and runing haphazardly managed to avoid a few swaths while dashing through others,though finally was at the other side.
"it's ok,armour or carefull tasking will be ok,join me"Kiazo yelled to the others,and soon they had all passed,a few raizen burns that were minor,but no true damage done.
The chamber was made of marble across the floor,and 4 ft of the walls,a surly place,that obviousley held some significance.The room was also highlited with a free standing portal structure,standing on a copper dias,the stone work had many carvings and blackened efusement blighted it,as though the magic used wthin it was great and searing.The final discovery was the most claiment of their interests however,a table with simple wood makings,had many papers,with writing in Uhntzefeiet strewn about it.
"spells or the history of what occurred,let me see I know most of this language"Chealsoroy answered their curiosity as they each had taken to look upon a paper.
"the world is doomed,the creatures which are summoned are more and more chaotic,they will take the land by storm beyond my control,I have closed several portals,though all do not agree with my actions,soon it will be beyond our control-the gnomes storming through the dungeon have lost and that lent me the extra time to close one portal,however the magic is too strong,and soon I will have to leave,or be slayne by the uncontrollable demons,and trolls,the magic bracelets used to begin the invocations have been placed in the armoury at the 5th level,in a trapped seceret brick,if any who find this are of any morality they will retrieve these,and see to it that iether the beasts are killed on their plane,or summoned and destrtoyed through the magics that can create this alter plane link through the bracelets"Chealsoroy,was soon intently being listened to,and the answers to one of the tasks was now as clear as day.
"uncontrollable magic,that is what I knew we may have to fight against,yes these bracelets will be our next goal,and ending what remains of the horrid enemies that ravaged the land must be sworn to,as you have sworn to take this mission with me,-do you understand and agree"Alliyah vocated the pragmatism of the valour that was atuned to them as they had volunteered,and they agreed.
Leading the way Alliyah was the first to be scaffed and bluntly refoiled against the creatures that ripped into them from the darkness beyond the light yielded.Three Quetchev's had entered the scene,and they were difficult to cut against,and often were quicker than even a defensive swipe by the group.They had spilled into another room,and the creatures rapsed about striking with black swords that animated on their own,the relevance of having no arms perhaps the parlay though certainly not the derrivitive of their abilities.Suddenly Kiazo was shocked into a mental dilapidation,a strange demon was fighting him,smaller than the undead just killed,but terribley aggrevative,and he swiped in desperation,no contact made,even as one of the Quetchev moved in at him within his view and dashed a deep wound in his side.
"Kiazo has fallen to a 'banal temper' psionic blast,we must help"Xeina announced as Alliyah ,making a swift under swipe swiped the floating sword away from it's possesor,and slashed a strange wisping wound into the ghostish form.
Chealsoroy had just the trick for psionic damage,and as they defended the idiocy bound orc,a quick counter casting and he was broken from it,Chealsoroy nearly finding the façade and actions amusing,though the wound was serious,and as two approached him,he felt the calibrations of psionics taking effect,one was hindered however by the wound Alliyah had striken,though the other used it's strength in cohesion and they blasted 'mind flayer'at the elf.He fell to the ground unable to move as terrible sufferage pounded the tendrils of pain within him,turning to the side once fallen he was easy prey,and a swipe of each of the enemies sword was soon half way to a terrible slashing,or puncture.But Kiazo was on the bounds again,his eyes were glowing with anticipation,as he knew the elf had cured him,and when the first Quetchev moved the sword from itself to strike,Kiazo lept from several feet away and crashed into it,with the axe slicing into it's unembodied face area.The other was quick and cut into Chealsoroy however,while Alliyah attempted to counter it by stabbing into its back,but it was too late.The sword stabbed through a space in the elf's ribcage,and staggered into the lungs,blood flowing freely,and the sword flew back to airial control,smaking the blade from it's back,as Alliyah kept hold,and felt a battering through her arm from the defensive impact.Chealsoroy forced himself to stand and took a swig from a potion attached to him,as he just after fell forward,in agony and the real wound an even worse plate of disaster,and the flask began to spill it's contents but he was beginning to feal the power.Alliyah finaly decided that the one to her right was the best target,and nodded to Kaizo and he feined in with the axe leading his actions and the Quetchev was killed,the sword clanked loudly and the two others of it's kind reared away,and one sent the sword under it's controll flying from it like the toss of a strengthened giant,and Xeina was helpless-her magics for this battle were not yet within the possible actions frame,and she stepped as fast as she could,but the sword punctured into her shoulder,and chipped a piece of her flesh as it fell away.
"aiiiyah!Chealsoroy-please bring a spell to bear!"Xiena called to the elf,for hopes that a severence of their strength,rather than swordwork could stop them.
Alliyah finally had the chance to use the ring,and calling to it with the magic word it sent the flame striking into one of the creatures.It lost control of it's sword and fell back a few feet,and standing there just about recovered,Chealsoroy took a sword swipe with great anger and energy,and cut acroos the neck section- a screem crashed forth from it,as the mass of evil fell into an unanimate pile on the ground,flames searing away the material composites of the foe.Holding his side the elf staggered forward,and gouded a brief smug luagh and kneeled next to Xeina,hoping she was still with enough power to cure them.Kiazo swung wildly at the last Quetchev,but it scullied the sword left and right with great skill,and un beholding of the impacts,was able to trounse away with premium blocks- the harshest of the orc's axe attacks.Then suddenly a blue glowing wall was integrated before Alliyah and Kiazo as they had thought to move in together for what would surely be that last combat round,but the barrier,made them stringy and unable to control their actions.The Quetchev,floated about,and moved closer to the psionic construct and sent the sword smashing towards Kiazo's skull,the handle of the axe,met the blade though it was a half block,and the impact was a minimal bruize,but as this had unfolded,Chealsoroy had snuk next to the wall,and made past the enemies defensive spell.Using a frosty ray of multi dimensions of power,the magic flew into the Quetchev,and rasped and cut it several times,which broke it's magi-wall,and Alliyah and Kiazo smashed it down,with powerfull dashes of their weapons,and a final last pip of beangered screetching was the last pompferatu that spun it's battle time rally for the injured and taken aback adventurers.
Spent,diffused and awashed in the sense of what the battle's may extoll,however few the number attckers may be,Xeina fought with determination to bring the healing orb to light,and it did go alive as she made a final inner prayer,and once more they stood in a resliant wholesomeness,despit the factors falling into play.Alliyah had spoken too soon it seemed,and the three strange ghostlike duelers,were not only able with cunning but had cast mental spells that chastized their ability to fight,and a greater number of this same type of foe,may be of terrible consequences,though she hoped that learning what magics could fight them may have advanced itself to her cleric and wizard.
"fear and confusion,they had their chance…let us say that we may be much quicker on the counter strike the next time ehey?! –ok,we go-"Alliyah said a few words of effectuation,and they went through a wooden door-to a standard hall and met with a new feature.
There billowing against the walls of a tremendous gap,a chazm,divided through the very wall and earth of the dungeon constructs-a phantazmal coloured wind was whipping about the space.There may have been a bridge at one time,for the class of iron had a few chinks left at iether side,though an iron wall was layne across from their hall exposed side.The fright of the strange air form passing close caused them to step back,and the fealings that it may be a trap or guard barrier were certainly not only in Alliyah's mind.The sheerdistance that the hole fell into was not in question,taking a look Kiazo and Alliyah each found no sights from their torches,and a kicked debree left the edge,and never resounded it's calling,if there was any floor.
"the bridge is no more,and we don't have any way across,dare I say unless the good cleric holdsa spell of sprout wings that isn't yet one of the summons graced"Chealsoroy was interested in the cloudy barier wisps,but offered to them the solution of iether protecting themselves or having a way to make it over were each demure.
"no good-wings for angels might fall off of us faster than they appear after what we've been fighting-…..he ha hey –though I admit I don't quite have such a spell anyways"Xeina answered for lack of deigns with the puzzle,with a bit of humour.
