Fury of the Twilight Clan

[Lupis]

Tirrae and Batlek, Azuremyst

Tirrae kicked viciously, but her new sheep body didn't have very much strength to it. Enraged, she just flailed more.

Batlek still watched, head tilted. The cloud around him grew an arm, which then acted as the troll's own arm, twisting to cast a spell. A bolt was sent towards the elemental. He didn't care all that much about the others. They weren't attacking the Cult yet. ((Simply Shadowbolt))

Senisra - Azuremyst

Senisra sent a wave of fire at the elemental before she caught sight of the warlock. Seeing Batlek gave the mage an idea. She blinked over to the warlock as he attacked the elemental simply stating "Excuse my interruption Lord Batlek. There is a ghost around here, and I though perhaps you would like another soul shard?" she suggested, keeping an eye out for Azu. She was probably a friend of her little sheep here. She renewed the polymorph spell on Tirrae and quickly bound her in the special rope she carried. "No need to flail little sheep! We'll be having fun later I promise!"

The mage looked at the portal and began whispering an incantation to close it. Maybe she would get lucky and her toy would get stuck her as well.

Threnaad - Azuremyst Isle

Thren nodded, looking unhappily to Tirrae stuck as a sheep, wondering where Azu had gotten to. He didn't want to leave them behind. Not at all. Hopefully Fissure would be able to buy them enough time to escape. Freeing himself of the tiny amount of ice keeping him frozen to the ground, he grabbed at Myri in return, trying to push the huntress back through the portal.
"Fissure, try to get the warpstalker to safety!" He called back to the elemental.

Fissure rumbled unhappily as it was attacked, but ignored the spells being flung at him. He was a large pile of rocks after all, he didn't feel pain. He raised a rocky fist to pummel at Senisra, intent on forcing the mage to drop the polymorphed Tirrae.

[Azunara]

Azunara
Azuremyst

Azunara pricked her ears, straining to listen. She caught the words "soul shard" though, and that was enough to make her recoil and quietly take a few steps back. She swallowed the hiss she was going to make. Revealing herself now would be a stupid idea. She'd have to wait for a bit, and then maybe she could free Tirrae. She watched Fissure, but didn't help it. While rock elementals couldn't be soul sharded, she could. And that would definitely prevent any rescue attempts.

[Lupis]

Batlek, Azuremyst

Batlek nodded calmly, sending another shadowbolt at the rock elemental before moving away. He gazed around, eyes narrowed. Hmmm. A ghost. That'd be hard to find in this situation. He gazed around calmly, willing to bet that the ghost would be going after their new lizard prisoner. He wasn't sure if she'd attack soon, however.

[Magnakilro]

Magna - Booty Bay

Arbennig growled.

He barked at Swift saying he was going in, charging through the portal.

Magna looked around, "Where is everybody?"

[Serendipity82]

Myriana - Azuremyst/Booty Bay

Myri threw all her energy into one last silent message to Tirrae, trying to reassure the warpstalker they'd be back, she promised, even if she had to come all by herself. She wasn't going to let that mage keep her. Tears streaming down her face, she allowed Threnaad to push her through the portal, collapsing in a heap on the other side.

Senisra - Azuremyst

Senisra blinked out of the way of the elemental then sent another huge ball of fire at it (pyroblast) hoping that would finish it off. She cursed as she saw Myri go through the portal, but let it go. She would be back. She smiled at the sheeped Tirrae in her arms. "We'll have a great time dear, I promise." She focused on the portal again in an attempt to close it.

[Kira]

Asliasa
Booty Bay

Asli shrugged a bit and glanced around before she moved to look outside. "I'm not to-" Her head tilted as Myri came through the portal. "Their over there.." She frowned slightly and felt a chill up her spine. "Something's wrong."

[Azunara]

Azunara
Azuremyst

Azunara remained low to the ground, hidden and watching Senisra carefully, shaking from the lost of energy and hatred. She'd figure out a way to free Tirrae. She wasn't sure how, but she'd pull it off. As soon as the elf set Tirrae down, she'd strike and run with her. Or maybe strike a bargain. Trade places. She let out a low whine, lashing her tail. Tirrae shouldn't have gone through. This was why she wanted to do this by herself. Now other people were hurt.

[Moonlost]

Fissure, Umbra - Azuremyst Isle

Umbra jumped up onto the elemental, trying to claw open the stone that Fissure was assembled from. As before, the elemental attempted to ignore the cat, but her frenzied attacks made it difficult. The spells that it was being constantly bombarded with weren't helping matters either. Small pebbles were starting to shake loose from it's from. As a last ditch effort, the elemental threw a weak punch at Tirrae, attemtping to break the reptile free from her polymorph before shattering into a pile of inanimate rocks.

Threnaad and Zaruuk - Booty Bay

Threnaad stood in the way of Arbennig, keeping the drakeadon from charging through. Zaruuk, once he was sure that Thren and Myri were safe, stopped channeling into the portal, allowing it to be shut.
"You are a fucking idiot Thren!" He snapped. He would have kicked the broken if Myri hasn't been in the way.

[Magnakilro]

Magna - Booty Bay

"Come on..." he said as he ran to the others.

Arbennig whined. He wanted to help.

[Serendipity82]

Senisra - Azuremyst Isle

Senisra stared at the portal wondering who was on the other side keeping it open, when her spell finally took effect allowing it to close. She didn't see the elemental's last ditch efforts to un - polymorph Tirrae and the sheep fell from her hands. She swore but she wasn't too worried since her ropes were enhanced for all sorts of special abilities people might pull. If the mage was anything, she was prepared for almost anything. Except traitorous elves who cut her victims free.... she shook the though off and watched Tirrae, ready with the polymorph spell again.

Myriana - Booty Bay

The hunter lay in a heap on the ground, crying at her earlier hesitation. If she had only gotten madder sooner, Tirrae at least would be here safe instead of in Senisra's arm.s

[Lupis]

Tirrae, Azuremyst

Tirrae's fear was currently manifested in rage. She lashed out with her tail as the polymorph faded, whacking the ground. The rocks that were once Fissure threw themselves at Senisra and the warpstalker screeched her anger. She was rather unaware of her surroundings, focused on being furious.

[Azunara]

Azunara
Azuremyst

She needed a plan. An idea. Something. Anything to try and save Tirrae. Trading seemed like the only logical thing. She couldn't cut the rope, and running was impractical with her bound. If she made sure Tirrae was safe first...Well, she couldn't hurt her friends much, and if he used the shard, then he'd only get a bit more power. It could be worth it. She lashed her tail, though it didn't make a sound or disturb the grass she was near. She continued watching and waiting. She watched Tirrae start fighting and lurched to her paws, debating if she should help her or wait.

Kozri
Booty Bay

Kozri snarled furiously. He was stupid, and Azu was too. It was her fault for going, and his fault for not stopping her. He'd been hurt, but that wasn't any excuse. And now Myri was back to square one, worse, because Tirrae had been left behind. And all they had was a ghost to protect her.

[Moonlost]

Zaruuk and Threnaad - Booty Bay

Threnaad winced, looking behind him. He hoped Azu and Tirrae would be okay.
"They are in Azuremyst." He said out aloud. "We could portal to Exodar. Find where they are, launch an assault."
Zaruuk sighed, more worried about Azu and Tirrae then pissed off at Thren for attempting to be brave and stupid.

[Serendipity82]

Senisra - Azuremyst

OH! She was an infused beast! This would be fun indeed! The mage got hit by several rocks before she threw up a shield to deflect the rocks (molton armor). She quickly snapped the rest of the polymorph spell to re-sheep the warpstalker and figure out the best ways to restrain her. The dragonhawk fluttered up to Senisra and the mage looked at it in surprise. "What do you want?" She snapped at it. She had completely forgotten its existence during the fight.

Myriana and Swift - Booty Bay

Swift was nudging Myri, trying to get her to stand up instead of laying on the docks curled in a little ball of grief. The hunter was gasping for breath from the fear she had for Tirrae and knowing exactly what the mage would do to her.

[Lupis]

Tirrae, Azuremyst

Okay, she was really sick of being a sheep. She glared at the mage, bleating again, as if it would scare the elf. She once again tried to bite Senisra, ears flat to her head. If she had to be a sheep, she'd be the most ferocious sheep anyone had ever seen.

[Azunara]

Azunara
Azuremyst

Azunara frantically tried to remember everything Faron had told her. She was pretty terrified, remembering what it was like to be controlled. But it was for Tirrae, she had to do something to save her. She had been her best friend, next to Kozri and maybe Decay, when she wasn't grumpy.

Azunara crept closer, then appeared from the shadows, calling, "Don't attack, hear me out. I'm suggesting a trade. I'll take her place. She gets to go back to Booty Bay, safe and sound, and I'll stay here and face whatever happens. Face it, I'm worth more than she is, as a ghost. Raw soul. Do you know how strong a soul shard that would be? And don't get any ideas about casting the spell before she's free. I can run a lot faster than you can finish a spell." She said, and then hoped that if it worked, Tirrae would be able to get help and free her eventually.

[Serendipity82]

Senisra - Booty Bay

The mage had just started to bind Tirrae's mouth shut, trying to figure out what to do about the tail and her infused powers. She'd just have to beat the beast into submission that's all. It would be fun too, since this once seemed to have such a strong will. She looked up as she saw Azu reveal herself. She heard the ghost out, and just sat there as if she were considering an answer. What she was really doing was hoping that Batlek would see the ghost and act while Azu thought she was thinking.

[Lupis]

Tirrae and Batlek, Azuremyst

Batlek twitched. Ah, now that was a voice he wanted to hear. He listened calmly from a few yards away, the black mist shifting and swirling. He had no intention to let Senisra carry out a trade, but taking the druid's soul sounded appealing. He took note of the mage's stalling. She was thinking the same.
With a muttered syllable, he created a link to the ghost. ((Drain Soul))

Tirrae twisted to stare at Azunara in shock. What? Was she seriously considering that? That was... Brave. And stupid. As a prisoner herself, all that could happen to her was a bit of pain. But Azu... She'd die. That'd be a lot worse. Besides, she'd followed to stop Azu from getting hurt, not to force her into it! She shook her head franticly, trying to tell her Druid to run.
