[OOC: I can imagine the room having one or two chandeliers hanging from the ceiling with candles in, though since it's before nightfall, Jozan won't have lit any of them. Since the common room is a room intended for socialising, perhaps it has a fireplace too.]
*Jozan is startled and intrigued by the voice, but knows it is no reason to take his eyes off the goblins. He jabs his elbow backwards, hoping to knock the wind out of whoever is speaking.*

[OOC: That's all I needed to know....MWAHAHAHAHA..ahem..sorry.]
The shadow that left the initial battle began to cut the (chain? coard? what holds a chandelier up?), with the full intention of dropping it on the Knight. The other shadows continue their attacks, but anybody who is actually watching the battle carefully would notice that the goblins/shadows moved, so that none of them were in a straight line with Jozan.
*Addis throws his voice again, now off to his side.*
"My name is Addis Hellfire, and I am a Aurak Draconian. You killed my brother, a Kapak named Botaxis. I have come to avenge his death. Prepare to die, Knight of Solamnia."
*Addis hisses the words to a Lightning Bolt, and launches it straight at Jozan's chest.*

*The ceiling, like nearly all the walls of the school, is weak from all the damage the building has suffered over time. As the shadow works away at the chandelier, a chunk of masonry is dislodged, and falls down - right into the path of the lightning bolt. There is a small explosion, and lumps of stone spray out across the common room. Jozan stops one lump, denting his shield; another lump tears through a goblin's throat; and another is heading straight for where Addis is standing.*

The Goblin's body remains on the floor for about a minute, than disapears due to Addis being forced to concentrate on side stepping a painful incident. The other Goblins flicker for a second, than continue their attacks.
*Addis gives a slight curse and walks about the room, waiting for a chance to strike.*

*Jozan battles on. As he fights, he calls out to the owner of the voice.*
Addis Hellfire! I arrived in this realm with much memory loss. I remember that I am indeed a Knight of Solamnia, and that an Aurak was pursuing me, but little else.

*Addis continues to circle the Knight, speaking as he waits.*
"An amnesiac? Ha, what a interesting fate to befall a honorable and just Knight of Solamnia."
*Addis stops, and begins making the hand signs required for a spell.*
"Do you even remember the Oath, The Measure? How can you call yourself a Knight of Solamnia if you can not even remember your own code of honor. I do not pretend to know much about The Oath and The Measure, but I do know that charging an injured foe is unhonorable. My brother's arm was broken, shattered by a dull Elven Arrow while he was scouting ahead, with orders not to engage. And you, feeling the urge to make a name for yourself, charged him and slew him. You should fall on your sword for that, you sorry excuse for a Knight...."
*Addis' eyes shut tightly as he remembers seeing his brother's death while he stood only 30 ft. away. Addis changes the gestures suddenly.*
"You killed my brother, Jozan Dumarr....DIE!!"
*Addis launches a Maximized Fireball (Fireball that does more damage) into the middle of the battle, completly destroying the shadows in the process, and no doubt injuring the Knight.*

*Addis casts Lightning Bolt at Jozan Dumarr, than begins casting another spell, fully intending to overkill the Knight.*

*Lightning Bolt increases Jozan's pain, but is not fully effective. At this point, Jozan is lying not far from the window of the common room. Looking out, he catches a glimpse of Flaccus flying by. Lifting his aching head, he speaks as loudly as he can.*
Addis Hellfire. If I am to die here and now, let me first congratulate you on finding me and bringing me down, all by yourself. You, Addis, deserve much praise from your fellows for vanquishing a Knight of Solamnia, you and you alone.

[OOC: Ha ha, hahahahahaha. Awesome. That oughta make things interesting for me.]
*Flaccus sees a flash and hears an explosion . . . one that sounds like a Fireball spell. He then hears the voice of a certain Knight. What!? The Knight is about to die, without me even getting to rip him in half!? Flaccus thought to himself as he flew through the broken window, sword at the ready. He nearly stands on Jozan as he lands.*
"You...why have you decided to steal my kill!? You, my own brother, betray me like this?! Now I'm not certain who to kill, I should-"
*Flaccus stops as he is interrupted by Addis.*

*Addis still makes the gestures to a spell, but speaks as he does so.*
"Do not try flattery, Knight. At least die with some dignity. . ."
*He emphasizes some words . . . why? Addis thinks about this as he nears the completion of the spell, than his eyes widen (as if anybody could see . . . ) as he figures it out. Very clever . . . Addis ends the spell before he began, and gives a slight hiss of pain as the effects of Manaburn - Magical energys that have failed to be unleashed harming the caster.*
*When Flaccus comes through the window, Addis moves to a point in the room where he could cut off any escape Jozan attempts while defend against Flaccus should the Improved Invisibility become dispelled for some reason.*
"For one thing, brother, it is our kill, not your kill or my kill. We swore that we would avenge our fallen brother together, and I fully intend to do so. Had you given me more time before barging in, I would have casted one of my favorite spells, than healed him and called you to do battle with him. Then, together, we would have gutted him and given his soul over to the Queen of Darkness, or our brother, whomever gets to him first. I still intend to do so, if you would just stay focused."

"Lies! You have a sly tongue, Aurak. I should have known that you would betray me like this."
*Flaccus turns and lifts his blade so that he can read the runes enscribed on the sword. He wipes a silver, clawed hand on the side of the sword, and the runes begin to glow ever so slightly.*
"Thank you, fool, for inscribing Dispel Magic on to my sword."
*Flaccus half hisses, half speaks the arcane words of the Dispel Magic spell. The runes attributed with the spell sizzle and dissapear. A sound, akin to the shattering of glass, can be heard.*
Addis Hellfire is fully visible.

*Addis is about to speak, but he hears Flaccus' last words. He aims a clawed finger at Flaccus' sword, and is about to launch an Energy Ray - An Aurak Draconian's main method of non-magical attack. Then, he feels the spell rush over him. His defensive spells - Shield, Greater Stone Skin, Melf's Acid Sheath, Death Armor, Improved Invisibility, and Ghostly Visage- are all gone.*
"Flaccus, you have made a very . . . very unwise decision, my brother."
*Addis points two clawed fingers, one at both Flaccus and Jozan. A invisible Energy Ray flies at the two. One hits Flaccus square in the chest, feeling like a battering ram struck him. The other one heads for Jozan . . .*
[OOC: An Aurak's Energy Ray attack is basically a beam of pure force energy (..kinda like Force Push from Starwars....kinda). It feels like getting punched if divided amongst a large number of targets), but is like getting hit by a car if a single target is hit.]

*Jozan has regained some of his strength. He watches as Addis becomes visible, and recognises his appearance. Seeing Addis pointing at him, he rolls onto his back and holds his shield over his chest, just in time to block the Energy Ray. Jozan feels the jarring force through his shield, but is protected from pain.*

*Flaccus nearly falls out of the window when he is sent backwords by the Ray. When he regains his footing and his balance, he charges Addis, swinging his Greatsword in a arc. Addis manages to duck the attack, but then Flaccus attempts to grab the dodging Aurak, only to get hit with yet another Energy Ray.*
