"Magical darkness, I am sure of it." Semaj sees the bag and map that Lucy left and makes those his first priority. He opens the bag in hope to find one of Gordon special light spheres. If there are any in the bag Semaj would active one and launch it into the darkness. If not hopefully there was something we would recognize that he could use to help. If not there was plan B, lets hope we don't need plan B.
-----------------------------
Petros, being ready for an attack, backhands his incoming adversary knocking him into part of the group.
"What do you think Meliae?" Petros asked.
She pointed in a direction. "Fresh air, not the way we came." Her voice was small and meek. Not getting any information from her surroundings she picked on on where the air wasn't so stagnant.
"I'll have to take your word on it, Keep me heading in the right direction!" Petros stared to run as fast as his stone legs could carry him, bowling over part of the group that was surrounding him. |

Thuriya tosses her Frostwood Longbow and arrows to her Clay golem saying, "Harvester! Move up to 88's position and provide cover fire! Fungus, power up and move into breaching position!" With that she drops to her knew, and begins rummaging in her pack, muttering something indistinct to herself.
The large Clay golem moves into position and prepares to fire the Frostwood Longbow, seemingly as an afterthought, a thick layer of frost starts forming over its body.
With a rumble of thunder, the bone golem smashes its fists together then unwraps a Spiked Chain from its waist, and moves forward and off to the side of the door so as to not interfere with fields of fire, but able to go in whenever directed.
"Got it!" she cries and pulls out a salamander cloak and stands back up "Lady Kyomi! This might help. I typically avoid using them since they just make a large target out of you, but in this instance, it may actually prove helpful." So saying she replaces her pack, and moves toward the larger group of magi. |

The Shadow behind the door looks completely still, like a calm lake at midnight. Several Lanterns point towards the shadows, but there light can not penetrate. In Lucy's bag are some light orbs and some... Equipment? (OOC: assorted Magic tools, but it's doubtful any one would be able to figure out what they where for in the limited time.)
The ripples begin spreading across the shadow.
____________________________________________________
Petros attack cause the Rusted Hulk to break apart in a cloud of rust. There wasn't much holding these things together, but there where many and they where coming in. Another three came screeching in as there ancient limbs groaned in protest. Behind then another eight, and who know how many behind them.
_____________________________________________________
Frost Fire began hearing the screech of iron breaking, and movement. Drawing her sword she could make out light (OOC: Being a gem she doesn't need light to see) Suddenly a Hammer flys out from behind a pillar hitting Frost squarely in her Iron face. The Rusted hulk steps out from behind the pillar just as the Winter Cold of the slay blade cleaves it in twain. |

Valadin, being braver rather than wiser, doesn't bother with setting up defensive positions or the like. He just charges into the darkness after the two Magi, weapons at the ready and a war cry on his lips. Subtle isn't his style. Worst to worst, most predators will go after the loudest, most obvious target- and as a fully armored and adamantine reinforced clay golem, he's very likely the toughest thing to kill here.

88 stands pointing his lantern into the darkness as ordered, the beam swallowed by the impenetrable gloom. He watches with virtually no interest as Valadin6+ follows the beam into the darkness.
"is that safe, going in alone?" Pond cowing behind 88 whispers.
"yeah course it is, why don't you borrow the lantern and go watch the blue hulk, see how it's done" quietly rumbles the sarcastic answer. |

The box takes up almost a third of the room in Shan's bag, and is thoroughly padded on the inside. He takes out two pairs of tied-together bottles and sets them on the ground next to him. He had spent some time to gather more "drake's breath," as he called it, in preparation for this next mission. If Shan weren't afraid that Gordon or Lucy could be in the way, he'd probably just toss it in and see what happens.
While Shan works, he speaks to no one in particular.
"I wouldn't expect whatever's in there to come out after us. But I'm sending Eurus in to scout."
He doesn't give himself any more time for a better explanation. Shan sits down and speaks a personalized incantation, which could be familiar to anyone paying attention in the last wraith battle. His body relaxes, and his eyes fall half shut.
Eurus, moving with more agility than the golem had previously displayed, picks up the bottles in one hand and strides toward the darkened portal. Before entering, it pauses for half a second to place its empty hand along the wall, then walks forward.Last Edited: Jan 25, 2010, 2:46 pm |

Semantic activities one of the shperes and lets out a warning. "Light in the hole!" He would then wait to see if the sphere was enough to despel the darkness.

Petros continued in the direct of fresh air simply stomping over any of the little rust buckets that got in his way. "Hope something shows up soon." He said. |

| The group outside tending to the gnomes briefly pauses in their activities, wondering if perhaps another rampaging clockwork beast is heading their way, but shortly after they see that it is Laidan running alongside a huge, much patched iron golem and a small gem golem. He slows as he approaches them, and pauses to confer for a moment, verifying that the wraith hunters have indeed headed for the mines as he suspected. He gives a quick nod of thanks, and heads into the mine, gem golem in front and iron behind carrying an old lantern. He pauses again at the tunnel intersection, then with a shrug picks the tunnel the main group headed down. They hear a muttering as he approaches, just as Semaj is throwing the sphere through the doorway. |

As Valadin rushes to the door, the shadows begin to thrash as if something is about to come out. A ball of light passes by and hit the shadow revealing shape before it all goes dark. Suddenly four wraiths, like salmon jumping from a river, launch out the shadows strait into Valadin.
___________________________________________________________< br />
Petros fought valiantly, sending the rusted guardians flying, but more and more strikes where finding there marks. Suddenly the the screech of iron snapping and buckling comes from behind.
___________________________________________________________< br />
Frost Fire was in the tick of it, dozen of the rusted monsters surrounded her, but they where not match. As the closed the gap she used her speed and the elemental powers of her body to reduce all opposition into scrap. The massive Petros was now in her sight, and she would take him back to her masters. |

Her Shadow leaps forward, using Valadin's tough body as a shield and using the reach of his sword to start attacking. Her Shadow is fast enough to keep out of Valadin's way should he start swinging as well.
Kyomi chants a few words, and Valadin's body is covered in a dim protective glow. After that, she yells out, "Back up! Draw them out so we have more room!" |

As Petros attempted to rush though the small rusted foes his leather straps covering his lower body are eaten away, small hit by hit. Finally one of the rust monsters chip stone on his right leg.
"AH!" Petros lets out a yelp of pain.
Yet another rusted construct jumps at Meliae to be met in the air by a spit of acid.
"Enough is ENOUGH!" Petros cried. He spun in a circle clearing the area around him then he stomped popping a large boulder out of the ground and with a single punch launches the boulder at the snapping iron sound. The large boulder would be followed by a barrage of smaller boulders whose flow would be interrupted as Petros did his best to knock way the small incoming rusted constructs. Slowly he would lose the leather straps on his arms and hands, leaving the irons studs on his head and heavy plate on his chest with the useless leather remnants hanging off of him.
-------------------------------------
Semaj picked up the back-pack and slung it over his shoulder, it was as heavy as he expected it to be seeing as Lucy was carrying it. He also picked up the map and determined where they where and what room the wraiths where coming from. Hopefully it was the area they had to head anyways. |

With a cheerful laugh, Valadin waits for a wraith to hit him, then simply replies in kind with a flurry of darts. Between his armor and Kyomi's spell, each blow taken is almost pointless whereas the cumulative effect of his darts can shred a wraith in less then twelve seconds given the extreme force he can put behind each attack. But, as much fun as this is- fighting side by side with his noble ally Shadow- there are more important issues at hand.
Noteably, where are the missing Magi? "Nay, mi'Lady Kyomi, we cannot withdrawal without first rescuing our most foully taken allies and so must fight on, knowing that if we but keep our hearts true, we shall inevitably triumph!"
It's still wordy, but he does seem to cut the word count a little when he's in the middle of a fight...
[Summary: He's not leaving without Lucy and Gorden. And he knowns they'll win because they're the heroes.] |

Upon seeing the wraiths appear, Shan mirrors Gordon's reaction. 'Crap...' he thinks.
A cloud of steam issues from beneath Eurus' chest plate as the golem roars to full power. The wraiths seem focused on Valadin, with Eurus a few steps behind, but Shan picks the nearest one as a target. With no room for any other response, Shan has Eurus swing a quick punch, striking a solid blow to the wraith's chest. Although it may have been a hasty decision, Shan chose the fist still holding his bottles of drake's breath. He crushed them in Eurus' hand when the punch landed, causing the liquids within to mix. A fireball immediately engulfs the wraith, as well as Eurus' right arm, even scorching the front of Eurus' body.
He follows with continued punches, knowing the wraith wouldn't go down from only that.
Shan silently agrees with Valadin's bold declaration, and has Eurus hold its ground alongside him. Better to block the choke point than risk getting swarmed, he believes. The transmuted golem may be slightly less resilient than the eloquent clay, but it was faster, and just as strong. |

| 'Well, at least I didn't miss all the excitement' mutters Laidan, seeing the 4 wraiths appear. Things seem a bit crowded up there however, so he merely pauses with his golems, giving the combatants room to maneuver, though he's always ready to take a pot-shot at a wraith given the opportunity. |

"You idiot golem! Back away from the door! Draw them out so the rest of us can fight!" Kyomi yells back.
Her Shadow remains silent, though with his speed and size he is still able to weave between Valadin and now Eurus.
Then Eurus punches the wraith with his alchemical fireball, and the super cold of Her Shadow mixes with the sudden heat, suddenly making a dense cloud of steam.

From its position near the doorway, the bone golem steps slightly a few paces, giving itself room, then with a rumble of thunder, unleashes an attack on the flank of the closest wraith using its Spiked Chain. Lashing it repeatedly until it gives up a cry of pain and collapses in death, creating a gap in the forces coming through the doorway.
The Clay golem, farther to the rear, a drawn arrow crackling with frost continues to wait for a shot to present itself against the attacking wraith. |

"My most devout apologies, Lady Kyomi, for not being more considerate in allowing all of my valiant allies to put forth their might in honorable battle" Valadin says, moving not back but forward into the room... which is kind of what she asked for... even as he continues "so let us march forth and unleash our chastisement on these beasts most foul and fallen by steel, by spell, by fist and skill as best befits our worthy cause."
At least his moving forward will allow people to really use the door again- but that goes for the wraiths as well... Meanwhile, he continues to attack the wraiths almost absently as he looks around for traces of the missing Magi.

Several more wraiths fly out of the now frothing shadow, but they don't seem to be attacking, but retreating out of the shadow? Regardless another wave of wraiths where entering the room, and would need to be dealt with.

Frost Fire narrowly dodged one of the hulks Petros sent flying with his attacks. Coming in she lashed out destroying more, and was now only feet from Petros. |

"Err Shouldn't we move forward and help?" whispers Pond
"I such a hurry to die?" grunts 88 with a small shake of his head. The large old iron hulk shifts his bulk back and too the side leaving open a gap for the new arrivals.
"I think their weapons will have more effect than this heap of crap Scimitar that you found us".
With that he indicates, with the barest visible motion, to the Hereti Corp group that he gives the clear path too the front, to them.

Petros recognized Frost Fire and moved into a back to back position with her. She would be the first to see the sealing runes covering Petros' arms and legs which where previously under the leather straps he wore. Petros keep taking down the incoming enemies with an easier time now that he had close quarter help. Meliae would still occasionally hit one of the enemies that escape Petros sight with acid spit.
"So, I take it your the search and rescue party?" Petros asked jokingly while he keep up the rock flow into the enemy horde.
-------------------------------------------
Semaj didn't let the details escape him, he noticed how the wraiths seemed to be retreating. Semaj rolled up the map and tucked it away, then he pulled out his black book.
"Knowledge is power." He commented to himself. Semaj was preparing a barrier spell and planned to catch the first Yellow eyed wraith he saw with it. He would than use whatever means he was force to to find out that they where running from.
"If I had to guess Gordon and Lucy are the most-likely cause for this commotion but just in-case I am wrong..." |

Eurus dispatched its target with a few more quick hits, then Shan looked to the other wraiths. With the sudden steam cloud and the new wave of wraiths, Eurus' eyes do not give him a good enough view of the situation. Shan directs Eurus back several steps and waits for the next wraith to get too close.
Shan grumbles mentally, disappointed that he let himself be surprised by the ambush. |

More wraiths come out as the frothing shadow boils, and with a thunderous blast the shadow spills out the magic holding it together finally gives way. A head ache inducing vibration comes from the tunnel.
The shadow now spilled across the room like black paint harmlessly evaporate letting light shine down the hall way. Standing there clothing tattered from the claws of the wraiths stands Lucy, unharmed but pissed. "Gordon sword." Lucy says in an soft voice. A shadow hunched against the wall takes a swig from a bottle, before handing Lucy a sword. "Thanks honey." The sword ignites with hot red flames. "And Where do you think your going!" Lucy Shouts at one of the wraiths as is slowly floats backwards from the enraged mage.
Dashing forward Lucy slashes at the wraith, it's ruined body finally giving up. "Anyone else want a piece of me? Humm!" |

Gordon groans giving Lucy his sword, taking a swig from a healing potion. Taking a second Gordon staggers up grabbing a bandage from his pack before wraping one of his bleeding arms. Unlike Lucy when the wraiths clawed at him they did a lot more damage. "Ugh, I really should be more careful..." Gordon says to him self before letting a bolt of lighting lose nailing a wraith in the back of the head, sunning it.
Gordon looks up at his wife and can't help but smile, while Lucy had fended off most of the wraiths one had got a lucky shot and ripped of the back of her traveling gown. the Collar the only thing keeping her decent. Winching Gordon stand up. "Hey Lucy! wait up." |

Finally spotting Lucy and Gordon, Valadin moves towards them, not so much fighting the remaining wraiths as just kind of walking into and over them. They'll move. Or not. As he heads towards them, he uses his free hand to unfasten his tabard, intending to offer it to Lucy once he's close enough.
Doing so exposes the top corner of the brown package he had been carrying earlier... hope it wasn't time-sensitive... |

Her Shadow raises an eyebrow at Lucy as she rips apart the wraith, then turns to Kyomi "I'm impressed."
With a nod, Kyomi holds out her massive book, "Me too, but I think it's time. Start pulling."
Her Shadow abandons his weaving dance around Valadin, and gets back to Kyomi. Planting the tip of his sword into the stone floor, he kneels down gripping the hilt, and bowing his head in concentration.
Kyomi turns to 88 and the apprentice on top of him, "This will get their attention, run interference." She casts another of her protective spells on 88, before bowing her head in concentration as well.
And then Her Shadow starts to pull. his own shadowy aura becoming almost still, while the nearest wraith seems to have its very substance pulled away. |
