"Mr. Berryblood. That is no way to talk to someone that has volunteered to help you. He did what he felt he should in the situation. We are not all Warriors like yourself. You were in such a hurry you had not informed us of what was in your pack. If you remember correctly just 2 minutes ago you just thought to ask our names. So..... Mr. Berryblood I feel that if you would like us to continue to help you on your quest you owe Astran an appology."
Lyra is bloodred from anger. She just fought to the best of her ability in a situation that was very dangerous and doesn't feel that is it right to be yelled at directly or indirectly.

Subject: [Parlainth] PBeM 0.5 Are They Finally Dead?
Illyana moves slowly and obviously painfully, but is determined to stay conscious and fight on. Defiantly, she raises both swords and lash out at the ghoul in front of her. Her swords strike unerringly and she smiles, but the smile does not reach her eyes. She just winces and whimper a little as the poison burn through her body one more time, only heard by T'sunami and Lyra. Beads of sweat are on her forehead. Her golden hair is already matted with sweat and dust, clinging to her face and neck. She knocks the ghoul down, and realizing that she will be unconscious within seconds, Illyana motions for T'sunami to take her place and struggles to move back towards the center of the group. Upon seeing Illyana move back, however, Lyra is quick to step in not even acknowledging what Illyana was signaling to T'sunami. Illyana almost bends over with pain, as she tries to control her body and bring the poison to an end. She no longer has the excess of energy and mind to keep track of others. She tries to find rest, leaning on her swords.
Astran obviously comes to some kind of decision, and calls out "Hold on, Illyana", as he begins a different spell. He casts his spell, drawing the Raw Magic through his body. Kestrel and Illyana look in shock as they see the wizard attempt to dispel the poison using himself as a conduit for the spell. There is nothing, and luckily the wizard is unhurt.
Again Astran tries, not even thinking of the possible consequences, forcing the spell through his body to Illyana. Immediately Astran flies as if struck by something and falls to the ground. Kestrel and Illyana scream out to him. Kestrel and Illyana run over to the wizard, Illyana struggling to fight the poison. As soon as Illyana gets over to Astran she collapses on top of him, unconscious as well from the poison. Kestrel struggles, calling to both of them to come out of it. Telling Illyana to fight the poison that runs through her body.
Meanwhile the battle continues. Nightwind steps in to take the wizard's place, knocking down the ghoul before him. Siri tells Endok-Tuk to step back as she jumps into the fray to take on the two cadaver men. Endok-Tuk steps back trying to cast his spells. Everyone begins to fall back, leading the undead towards the bottleneck of the passage. The dwarf is the last to fall back, his skin taking on a bark like appearance before he begins to come back with the rest of them. The undead have no choice but to take on the adventures 1 on 1, and so two of the cadaver men stay back, enraged and waiting to come in and take the place of one of their fallen.
Kestrel calls out to Trystan to come down so she can check his wound, but he waves her off, determined to help those in need. He fires off an arrow right into the neck of the ghoul that had poisoned Illyana, and it falls down dead.
The t'skrang hangs back away from the ghoul, forced to take on one of the cadaver man. Seeing the ability to use his tail attack, he quickly swings his sword at the cadaver man and then comes up with his tail which has a short sword attached to it. He struggles to get it swinging right, but after a second try manages to knock the undead down with his tail.
Grendahl, Siri, T'sunami, Berryblood, Lyra, Nightwind, Endok-Tuk, and Trystan all fight hard and strong. Grendahl, Siri, T'sunami, and Berryblood manage to down most of the undead. Finally only one of the cadaver men is left. Nightwind is struggling hard to destroy it. The others come in, and then a shout comes from Berryblood "MOVE!". Lyra and Nightwind move out of the way as the troll runs up into the air and crashes down upon the cadaver man with multiple strikes. The undead could not even see what was hitting him, and he falls to the ground in pieces.
You stand ready, expecting more. You look around and realize they are all dead. You look over and see Astran and Illyana on the ground as if dead. Kestrel has managed to pull Illyana off of the wizard, and you can see she is struggling to get them awake. As you all start to head towards them you see Illyana start to get up slowly.
Then Astran, as well, begins to awake as if Kestrel's encouragement had helped both.
Berryblood is quick to ask, "What happened to you two?" Upon hearing of the wizard's casting of raw magic his eyes grow wide. "YOU WHAT?! How could even consider casting raw magic in a place like this! Even as a warrior I know that it is suicide to do such a thing. It would be better to leave your companion for dead, even if it was a spouse, or a loved one, than to cast raw magic in an area such as this. If we all stay around you much longer we may all be dead soon. I am sure a Horror has been made very much aware of your presence and sure as I am a troll has marked you for his own.
"If one of you had yelled out what had happened I would have had you take my pack. I have some poultices you could use for such a thing. Dammit. I can't believe what you have done. How could you be so stupid? Wizard, I suggest you get yourself far away, especially from us. You are most likely tainted and will only be a risk to those around you know. You are damned, all because of a spontaneous trigger of thought that you wizards are supposed to avoid! Aren't you supposed to be smarter than this?! It is amazing that you are even a wizard if you are pulling asinine stunts such as the one you did. It didn't even work! Was it worth it? Was it really worth the risk that you cost to yourself and those around you?" The troll looks to the wizard very angrily.
<Moves please>
<Note: I will be moving on Tuesday and do not know when I will have Internet access again. I may be able to still post on Wednesday, but it may have to wait until Saturday at the least. I will try to let you all know, but if you do not hear from me know that it is because we are trying to get things set up. Sorry for the inconvenience. >
