[OOC: ...Gizgum?...ok then, I assume that was the correct spell lol. I am not sure, but I don't think dispel magic, anti-magic shell, or any other counter magic spells like those nullify the use of supernatural abilities, so I'll still be using the few of those Addis has as an Aurak Draconian. However, I am sure that his spell-like abilities would be effected, so I won't use those.]
*Addis watched as his twin fireballs flew at their targets....and dissapated before impacting. There was no big bang, no fiery death, no nothing. Addis' jaw dropped, which he promptly shut and let out a loud, angry hiss like a moniter lizard. He looked around and saw the one who had shouted "gizgum" and pointed a claw at him.*
"DIE!!"
*....one of Addis' most powerful spells, Power Word: Kill, which can kill anything instantly with a single gesture and a word, had no effect. Addis' hand dropped to his side, and he looked around. Now, there was only one very surprised and very unfortunate Aurak Draconian standing there. Addis closed both of his hands, as if he was holding something....like two swords. A closer look at the area above Addis' hands would reveal waves, like those seen in the distance on a very hot day. This...this can't be happening!! Damn, if me and Flaccus were here, we'd slaughter them even without magic. I could probably take one down, but then the shooter would get a free shot... Addis thought to himself as he stared, motionless, at his enemies.*
"It would seem that I have been foolish to under estimate you, and for that I give you my sincerist apology. The next time we battle each other, however, I will be prepared for this tactic, and you all will die. I will take my leave now."
*Addis, having honor enough to appreciate a good foe, gave a bow, turned, and walked away, still holding the twin Heat Blades he had summoned.*
[OOC: Unless if anybody is going to stop him with a arrow or any other attack, Addis will be going back to his room for now lol. He is using the Fire Energy rays described in the back of Kang's Regiment: Draconian Measures.

[ModNote: The action from 'Drinkers, Linkers and Thinkers' now continues here, alongside what was already happening. In other words, this thread now covers both the outside and inside of the Crazed Heifer. So to recap: Addis and PhoenixFlame are outside the tavern; Julian Lapis, Ed Kenji and Robin are inside looking out; Callimpsest, Zeytan and the others are simply inside.]

*The air around Robin thickens again. He draws a deep breath and brings himself round from the brink of unconsciousness.*
What...?
*His crossbow in one hand and sword in the other, Robin surveys the scene below him. None of it seems to make much sense.*
Well, I'll be.

*Callimpsest, who has been waiting hopefully for positive feedback from Malark on the wheat bundles and milk, has his attention caught by Robin's remark. He looks at Robin, then at Ed and Julian.*
Gentlemen? What's happening out there?
[OOC: He's too timid to go over to a window and investigate for himself.]

Julian and Ed stared at the retreating figure, then slowly round to themselves. They opened their mouths to say something, then shut them. They opened their mouths again, and promptly repeated their shutting.
Finally, Kenji settled on:
'Well, I think that went quite nicely, don't you?'
'GIZGUM?! burst out Julian, half in hilarity and half in panic. 'You used a spell designed for predicting the arrival of relatives on a FIREBALL HURLING PSYCHOPATH?!'
'Don't knock it, it worked.'
'Well, of that I had no DOUBT, no doubt at all dear fellow,' Julian conceded, again taking his glasses from his nose and wiping the excess drippage from them. 'I, I just thought you could have come up with something more-'
'Look, I was under pressure and all I could think of was Aunt Larissa! Trust me, there aren't many last thoughts that can top that for sheer blind horror! If anything, my natural urge to live took precidence. Incidentally, there's a family reunion coming up at the end of April that I'm seriously planning on missing.'
'All in all, a satisfactory conclusion all round,' Julian nodded, turning back into the room and shouting up to Robin 'Job's done matey! Reckon he's scarpered!'

Post by PhoenixFlame on Jan 4, 2008 13:17:24 GMT
*Phoenixflame's eyes widened as Addis' spells wore off , and the look of bewilderment on his face as they did so. She looked surprise as Addis then bowed and seemed to vanish*
"What the?!"
*Phoenixflame glances wildly around, as if expecting Addis to reappear behind her and continue the fight. When she had satisfied herself he wasn't going to do that, she sank onto the ground with a sigh and winced as she took in the state of herself*
"Here comes more healing times..." Phoenixflame said with a sigh*

*In the air, the dragon Smirkenorff is carrying Hordriss' niece - Meliss- and her pet dragon Red on his back. Below them is the familiar sight of Wolfenden, one of Meliss' favourite places to be. She smiles as she recognises the various buildings that make up the small town, including the inn: the Crazed Heifer.* Smirkenorff: "Where would you like me to land, miss?" "Oh I think just outside the inn will do, I can see there are a few people outside it - maybe they'll greet me when they recognise me. You too of course, Smirky and Red" Smirky: "Very well then...prepare yourselves for landing!" Red: "Oh it'll be so good to see everyone again, won't it Mistress? I wonder if your uncle will be here at all, after going on that trip of his recently". "Oh I hope so Red, I want to find out what happened, if he got anything valuable!" *Smirky flies slowly down to the ground after circling the area a couple of times, descending slowly. Eventually he lands just outside the Crazed Heifer, just as Meliss requested. She and Red slide off Smirky's back and onto the ground* Smirky: "And now I am going to fly off and find a suitable cave to live in for the time being, I've missed these surroundings myself and wish to stay a while. If you need my aid or simply wish to talk to me, just use my calling name...and tell your friends they can also do this. I have missed them too. Well then, see you later". *The dragon flies off and Meliss and Red turn to where the people are standing* [OOC: I've been advised this thread is a good one for my character to reappear in, so she can interact with other ones more quickly. ]

Post by Flaccus Hellfire on Jan 4, 2008 20:50:32 GMT
[OOC: Continued from "Hiding in an Alley"] *Flaccus found a rag he had used to clean his gear, and with it, managed to somewhat clean himself. His armor was still battered and stained, and there was some dried blood (Green, his own) on his scails, but he looked better then he did. Looking up at the sun, trying to gauge what time it was, he saw a shadow pass overhead. His keen eyes saw a glint of green....on scails. One of the Queen's dragons!? Here!? EXCELLENT, I shall speak with it at once, and see if it has heard anything from Her Dark Majesty. Everybody knows that all Chromatic Dragons have a special link to The Queen Herself. Flaccus thought to himself, and stood up from the alley. Adjusting his armor so it was somewhat presentable, he walked towards what looked like an Inn. He did not care to notice that people found it pretty bizzare that a 7 ft Silver Scailed lizard man with large wings and battered armor was walking bodly to an Inn. Neither did he know what had happened a few minutes ago. Upon getting to the Inn, however, he noticed a few scorche marks on the floor. Then he saw a somewhat battered and beaten woman (PheonixFlame), and noticed somebody holding a crossbow (Robin). Seeing the crossbow at the ready, along with a sword, and the woman seeming still ready for a fight, Flaccus tensed a little.* [OOC: Unlike Addis, Flaccus doesn't care much for stealth] *Flaccus walked up to PheonixFlame, looked at her, then spoke in his usual cold, reptillian voice. The voice sounded like Addis', but deeper.* "What the hell happened to you? And why are there scorch marks on the floor, and walls? Seems like you met a pyromaniac, or something."

Post by Robin on Jan 4, 2008 23:14:32 GMT
*Robin appears out of the front door, sword still in one hand, bow in the other.*
[[OOC: He's retreated from his vantage point, slid down the ladder and sprinted through the Crazed Heifer. He was too absorbed in what was going on to register Callimpsest's question.*]]
What's going on out here?! You... and he... there were more than one... and ... and dragons... and...?

*Flaccus, seeing a man run down to where he is, with a sword in hand, steps back and assumes a defensive sword stance. He hisses a word, and a blade (one from the Avatar) appears in his hand, and he grasps it, ready for battle.*
"Put the sword away, human. Unless, of course, you have a death wish."

Aaaah...
*Without even hesitating, he sheathes his sword.*
Okay, okay. Whatever. You're not him. I'm sure. Are you?

*Flaccus opens his hands and the swords disappear in what looks like a shadowy mist. Flaccus relaxes (more like, looks relaxed, he is still quite ready for a fight), and gives a confused look.*
"Him? Him who? I only see the people around here. Unless I'm missing something. You guys do look like you just had one heck of a fight."
*Flaccus' demenor changes, as he starts getting interested in the conversation.*
"So, what happened here? Looks like somebody who used alot of fireball spells was here not to long ago. Sounds like my brother. He loves fire. He tends to light me on fire just for the heck of it..."
[OOC: While Addis is extremly smart, and is actually somewhat cunning, Flaccus is kinda slow and...well....lacks common sence. And, he enjoys talking about combat.]

Post by Zeytan on Jan 5, 2008 22:36:52 GMT
*Zeytan also emerges from The Crazed Heffeir and takes in the scene before him. He see's PhonixFlame and is debateing in his head wheather or not to go offer her what aid he can, when he spots Meliss standing just to the right of The Crazed Heffier.*
*Wishing to avoid the other new arrival, who seems far to intrested in the violence that has just occured for his likeing, he gose over to great the former Borading School pupil.*
"Miss Meliss a plesure to see you aging my dear young lady."
*Zeytan bows slightly*
"I trust you are well??"

*Meliss, recognising Zeytan, smiles broadly at him*
"Ah, hello there sir! It is nice to see you again also, how have you been? One also wonders how Malark is getting on?"
*She pauses for a moment before continuing - all the time she is speaking, Red is flying round her, clearly also excited to be back*
"Have you any news of my uncle? Before I left, he went out somewhere rock collecting and wasn't back for my departure. I'm merely curious as to what he could have found, something magical, perhaps? Ah, one has lots to catch up on"
