After some time the beasts of servitude followed their way much the same as
the
adventurers had,and made to the mighty Troll combat area,looking at
blemishes,and fealing the regaurd in which the flaunts of victory must have
fallen on those they were sent to decimate,if so their 'queen' will have
chosen.Making a grunt,and swiping the sword now carried the Italiasthreiyn
trotted to the hallway,and the Mesthsenseghrs followed,looking at the still
alive swirls,with more interest than the course the gaurdian was setting
before them.
"rrgh...Troll magics....i can sense all that must die ...within our grasp....our mission is clear is it not?" the lead Mesthsenseghr commented.
"we shall do the bidding of death,most certainly..."another agreed.
Alliyah wasted no refumpled concessions and worked upon the star,finding that when she passed her hand to cover a hole a clicking sound was made,turning to the others they as well noted this.
"if it is a trap,we have little to do but be carefull,I will pass before the rest of the holes"she then did so,and each time a click occurred,the last presenting the final trick for this wall imbued icon.
A rush of energy flew from the star,projecting an illusion like the star itself,only with eery green swirls,about the blackened image now 10 ft from the wall and 6 ft in diameter. With weapons alive and zeal and composure at it's finest the group looked about,and were unsure of what was to be,perhaps this was just a religous action,that preists used for evil blessings and was still alive held safe here within the darkest untouched corners of Tethreciene,or a delayed trap,scouting for the strengths of the innocent,about to whip a grande accostation of spellwork,in Troll mage's name.
"it's alive,that is good,certainly the item will be found,if we can use all that is still bound"Kiazo stated in surefire debut against their whimsical confusion,but soon the air changed,and the 'trap' was now revealed,-as a portal of some kind,that now sent several monsters,each undead,and each viciously swiping and attacking the party.
4 Chenexfers,gouded with hornes,and deathly uncomprimising poisen glands,flew threw too fast for Xiena to block the first strike on her,and she reeled against the claw strike and slam,the poisen biting into her constitution,and state of well being.The frightening undead glow was cast as a glamour to the poisen attacking creatures,making them more dubious than their mortal life forms,with purple and green and black dithers of subterfuge shaling from their bodies like wards made from master wizards that could destroy a party ignorant of how to defend against the powers layne by the arcane furry.As they faught with defensive swipes,and repealing effort,making backstepping towards the main chamber to this hall,more beasts arrived,the star icon,not changing at all as the forms sped through the illusional image-10 Gia'zerts,scaffed quickly about from the hall,surrounding the warriors as they finally killed one Chenexfer,these new threats were fast,and with six legs they lept into the fray,attempting to grapple first Alliyah then Chealsoroy for a super-damage dealing razor wing or tail thrashing.The two prey,however faught off the attempt,and Chealsoroy and Xiena finally cast spells.
The elf strew a multi weave of 'Dithers of Arcana' at two Gia'zerts and two Chenexfers,the air breaking into dancing ethereal calour,as sprites formed into metathurgies that ripped into the foes,crashing through two times,in a wave of spellwork.Xiena making a specific call to her anti-undead clerical powers,railed a casting against 8 foes.
"mass mortem-!!"the she-divinity for the party cried out,and attack,and defense after move after move,they were slashed and cut and torn by the spirtual energy,one Gia'zert suffering greater damage,and being dispatched by Kiazo's imbued extra efforted axe bashing.
Sudenly the ground festering monsters cast their own spells,a 'platnum glamour of striking' and 'illusional hammer' leaping into thin air,catching them offgaurd,fortunately only Alliyah suffered the wieght of the hammer attack,slumping from the impact,but able to recover-the swish of light crashed into the band,and did a darringly great deal of harm,but that was the final cue for the Cleric and she repealed a step from her next easily to be cast attack spell; and was able to put a healing 'regent recovery' imbued into a 'fighting revocation',that crashed through the defense of the Gia'zerts despite their resistance and flowed a return from the slashing and magic damage done on the party while cracking a few vital wounds on their enemies. "let's take this poisenous wart"Alliyah called,as she,Chealsoroy and Kiazo,fiened away from their multi-imbued combat,and killed the last alive Chenexfer,the Gia'zerts;now with 7 still alive,weren't cleft by the sight,and once more cast,their two spell talents.
"tethers of mold"-"golden glamour of striking"-,Xiena gathered a poisen gland and vocated"weaponing wasps!",-the beasts were slowed,for a moment the poisen from their advanced round attackers culled into them-"forbidden elemest!"the elf,with sword set away was making the most of the wizard weave of destruction;as the third time this spell attacked the might of it's power killed 4 Gia'zerts,and with a few sword strikes they finally had a series of strangely decomposing corpses about them,-and a new elemest whirl at the front pit,and strangely enough a new gate across the doorway,this one of a brass like metal,it's resounding thus against the ground making them skitter,and look,while frought with the closest in wounds and spell curses from the evils of Tethreciene than in any battle yet.
"I fear if each new –spellwork of elemest does so makest the trap anew-we are in need of help to win the battle for the control of this place"Alliyah named the first portence for all that had transpired,obviousely remitting,that Chealsoroy should again be the one to make a move against the pit energy scaffing in volatile anger,it looked,even more so than the first one.
Malled by the innability of the elemest vortex to dissapate the new gate,they were dumbfounded about what was to be done,-the only real answer laying in the focus of the pits,perhaps they led to another area,just beyond the torchlite,-however the only spell that could help may be visioning.Finally settled for what had been done,they now slumped into a light sleep,replenishing their powers,and taking for granted that they were unlikely to be attacked.Some time later,they stood at the energy once again,looking for ways to answer this puzzle,and decided that they should push the vortex into the pit itself,but making sure that it went a good distance was made more difficult.
"well a spell will do the trick,let me see my most material and pushing spell..."Chealsoroy contemplated,the others not interfering.
"rgrh....damn...it is certain the gate can not be openend"Kiazo struggled with might to push the brass problem but it was unbudgable.
"floating object!"the elf cast this spell,but the unmaterial form didn't take hold,so a new spell was tried-"harbinger trellis!" –fortunately the powers of the trellis to attack an elemental form applied to this elemest,and as it moved the vortex fell into the pit,each passing moment further and further untill it was beyond view,the mage causing a skirting following by the trellis that did the work.Finally the sound was no more,and if there was a bottom it must have landed there,-and they found out suddenly that this was in fact an answer when mist plumed about the room-in orange and violet dithers,and a loud chinking sound resounded.
"laces of mist...perhaps the item is now revealed"Xiena called out in hope,as they hoped the suffuse was'nt lethal; in any way,as it flurried about finally no hope to avoid breathing it.
As they did,they felt the transition of their bodies into a weightless form,with a bit of luck and determination they found that they could control their floating.Alliyah led them into a pit,the one used,and after quite aways their still held torches,lit after beginning this spell trick,showed they were in a new room,the elemest,was now only ½ a ft tall,and had golden flecks flying from it,as if in a transition state,whence a decision about what to do may be immediately needed.The area was twice that of the place above,and the first wall that fell into sight garnered metal runners,that had rune engravements,looking further,as they settled to the ground and the flight was stopped,there were 10 on each side,one type of cymbol over and over on each separate ladding.
Chealsoroy met with the transformed energy,as the others looked about,and found he was able to control it again,only now it was quite easy,-and entailing a placement in the room must have been the answer.
Soon they noticed that two of these metal magi-ward strips were the same engraving,and when Alliyah passed her hand across it the triple cross etchings turned blue,and she jogged to the other and the same effect occurred.
"bring the energy to these,no answers may soon be fine truths"Alliyah stated,as the elf did so,pushing the strange elemest across the metal,however no reaction took place.
"it must be hidden in this chamber,the secret and truelly last level,laced,and foresworn of intelligence....hmph damn that pixie,why couldn't she have just told us how to get it"Xiena was on the take,their brains booming with hope finally.
"perhaps if we look closely....the etchings may be a catch for the room itself,at each place that is represented by the direction of the 5 sides of this...layered,-laced,a place to make the magic alive with the elemest"the stormrider,looked closely and the others followed,and sure enough a small golden sqaure was placed on the wall at a pattern resembling the etchings.
Chealsoroy went to the closest that Kiazo had found,and the flecks flew into the sqaure and it depressed into the wall.
"brilliant ms stormrider...though I do take my axe"Kiazo bellowed,as the elf did the honours to each sqaure.
Each metal runner glowed alive as the first two had,and the center of the room,cackled with electricity for a while,then the floor slid open and all magic was offed,even the elemest.Alliyah reached in and grabbed an item,showing it to the others.It was a metal strutted orb,with multi shaped cutting ends about the fastening,clear and unfriendly looking though in a dorment state.
Refurling into a gloutey frown the 'highness' pulled the looking orb closer and voiced a word for her lack of sight.
"damnations of trolls...this pit is a ward of magic...and now I can not see the prize for the taking....my servants...hmm yes... let's see"she looked as the vision swirled with mist then showed the beasts walking quickly through a hall checking doors,the Semchaynis recognized it as the hall before the pixie,appearantly the room with the sorceror didn't have any ways beyond it,and soon she found the servants made to a stairway that ended in a field energy with a golden strutted archway door.
'well smash it..go...go! you fools,soon the item will be alive and they may be taken beyond my reaches!':she watched intently as they did just that,rending into the field and frame they slashed,and were bitten with energies that stiffled but did not stop the attack,and moments later they moved on,searching once again for another stairway.
"I will lead us into a meditation...this must prove a way to enable us to follow it's path,or we are trapped.."Xiena stated,holding the item,now only stormrider with a torch,and they followed her words and closed their eyes.
"divine power...the gods will answer a grant,the world awaits the purity for our path is clear....make alive this unliving storm...our destiny is pure"..."is..pure"/"pure"the orc finally stated.
The air crawled with power,the might of a magic as horrid as spoken of was near,and the group of warriors opened their eyes,and hoped for the best.A crashing weight and dimension portal opened,and they transversed through what felt like planes,time,and fate's paths all at once.The orb now glowed in a clear color,simple yet great,unrevealing,yet alive-they looked about and realized they were someplace else.The sky was dark,and the air open and light,the ground was dirt,and they could see a mountain range in the distance,but there were no stars in the sky and not a sound from the surroundings.
"what have we done"Alliyah was looking about a few feet from the others,each a bit riled by the transition,trying to determine the place they had landed.
"oh dear....it's alive again...Alliyah!"Xiena called as the energy went into a torrent that appeared in the air in the center of their standing circle,and the whips that scratched about violently finally,composed a vision.
Craggy cliffs,strutted with purple,and stars twinkling orange and silver looking to be just beyond the sky,rather than distant filled the view- sqaulering forward,soon the wings of a mighty black dragon beat at iether side,as the area below was taken by a river-the craggs crumbling ,then opening to a desert,the water turned into mist,and the ground collapsed into a falling skuttle for several seconds finally plummeting into a great lava mass,the wings still in view,swooped near this scorching inner earth molten,as finally thundering Skelteon riders,in armour on black,flame footed Zintrins,some 200 streamed quickly past the wings,which turned to follow,and suddenly the vortex formed,and the vision transolved to a regular looking land,but the riders were there,and the dragon screetched,flying away,leaving view of a castle set into the side of a mountain,and the breaking sun across the forest from this place lit the sky,in a plethera of washes,but this was no ordinary morning event,black streams crashed through the clouds,as golden flecks much like the elemest,fell from these conflicts,-the black sun of chaos was taking a land,the group could now see,an evil legion attacking.
"the castle of Yeilikagen,just beyond the once alley of Athiena,I recognize it for I have been there,once upon dragonback,to slay the Demi-demon that took control-it cried as it's body melted that the curse was unleashed and one day,all of evils legions will attack,this time is now"Alliyah presented the truths of what was viewed in wizdomous respect.
"we go!...however...we're lost are we not..."Kiazo looked in awe,and listening to Alliyah was elated with the mission,and swiped the great axe in vow of their fate. "there's no material world like this...no place that dwells in peace...no answer for our presence and this...the darkness....we must be on an Abysall dimension..the mountains,then the cliffs,it must be"Chealsoroy stated,as they had no misgivings that nobody really knew,and they set off towards the range,a two day journey.
Xiena cast a recovery the next day after they had taken turns gaurding a precious sleep,though uncomfortable as it was,but they were in need of food,once at the mountains it may be impossible to go across them,there must be an ally or some help that was there or the mission the item had sent them to was to be a mortuary of worthy adventurers.
"rrgh...Troll magics....i can sense all that must die ...within our grasp....our mission is clear is it not?" the lead Mesthsenseghr commented.
"we shall do the bidding of death,most certainly..."another agreed.
Alliyah wasted no refumpled concessions and worked upon the star,finding that when she passed her hand to cover a hole a clicking sound was made,turning to the others they as well noted this.
"if it is a trap,we have little to do but be carefull,I will pass before the rest of the holes"she then did so,and each time a click occurred,the last presenting the final trick for this wall imbued icon.
A rush of energy flew from the star,projecting an illusion like the star itself,only with eery green swirls,about the blackened image now 10 ft from the wall and 6 ft in diameter. With weapons alive and zeal and composure at it's finest the group looked about,and were unsure of what was to be,perhaps this was just a religous action,that preists used for evil blessings and was still alive held safe here within the darkest untouched corners of Tethreciene,or a delayed trap,scouting for the strengths of the innocent,about to whip a grande accostation of spellwork,in Troll mage's name.
