The fireball incinerates the volume of fog it covers...and through the magic "currents" running through it, little streamers of sickly green flames now run through the mass....a yelp is heard, as if one of the fire streamers ran through space occupied by somebody....a deep, growling kind o...

something odd.....there are....holes in the swirling fog...tunnels, almost? and there are mirror-bright patches....moving, swirling about in the arcane currents within the cloud.

PM to Anna
ditto Katrina
And Kali

The fog hangs heavily in the air....

the rock.......simply occupies space.

Sigrid....PM

Led....PM

Suddenly, a chill seeps into the air. The temperature drops, from pleasantly warm, to a little chill (from 68 to 48). As the temperature drops, a mist arises from every surface of water. It is a faint green in hue.....though it looks like it ought to possess a most noxious scent, there is none. Oddl...

OK, first of all...apologies for long hiatus. RL stuff. There has been a (loathe though I am to admit it) necessary intervention.

I'm back now.

Skyseeker looks at a nearby boulder...

(Spot checks rolled)

Kali also notices odd etchings upon it....

Skyseeker sighs heavily...."Their bond is also spiritual....they follow Darethon, and he brought her to the Blood-Hunter. That's another aspect to it. Led knows no malice is felt or intended, merely poor phrasing. Once eh calms her and explains, I'm sure they'll be back. But for now....we need ...

Skyseeker gives Sigrid a disgusted look, before going over to the wretched mass of misery...."You are good, Trina, you are. You are not bad. We like you being with us because you're good, we wouldn't let anyone bad stay with us, you should be with us, you're good, you're very good"

A serious tone, all mirth fleeing..."we may not neccesarily be leaving soon..we've found the evil which darkened the Wood so long ago is stirring once more, seeking to break free. And we find ourselves standing against this ancient malefic force." says Skyseeker grimly.

Skyseeker gets her mirth under control at Cryak's question.....and shrugs minutely, indicating she has no real reasons or feelings opposing his request.

Skyseeker tries, and fails, to squelch her mirth at the bizarre contrast, from Trina's savage mauling of the maelephant to her whimsical playfulness with huge Led....laughing so heartily, in fact, she ends up needing to lean on a tree to support herself...

Led wheels, and rapidly ascends....the maelephant seizes the opportunity to lash out at him, trunk flailing! It connects, but doesn't impede the mighty wemic in the slightest! ( 16 points ) From above, he pounces on the suddenly undersized devil! the suddenly multi-ton predator brings down it's fien...

"Look out, it's Ledzilla!"

Led scurries away, climbs, and pounces once more! As he makes his move, the maelephant seizes the opportunity and swings a trunk at him....but misses! The wemic nimbly springs from trunk, to branch, now waiting, poised to strike, for Sigrid's spell to take hold! Kalindriel's glaive whirls, trailing ...

The maelephant is whirling in a circle, trunks sweeping wide, bludgeoning anything within reach!

OOC--like Whirlwind Attack feat...a single swat, everything within reach....15'

Cryak lashes out with his might axe as it charges past him, two blows as it approaches, and one opportune slash as it passes! Only his first blow lands....and it's hide ablates much of his effect! ( 6 points ) Skyseeker's axe arcs out as she moves to the same side as Trina....striking and returning!...
