Chapter 1: The Menace [Completed]

[Throndir]

Karma resolved.

Sigil:
As you form your spell, the figure before you responds synchronizing his movements with yours, a counter spell appears before him several concentric circles interlaced within a sphere, the sphere flies rapidly toward you.

MindSense:
Attempt successful the nanites and Bookkeeper use of the word "restore", quickly brings your system back up to full operational status. it appears that you have also discovered a latent signal originating from the obelisk , it seems to be some sort of message written in binary code. (Mindsense has also received a bit of power surge from Bookkeeper allowing all attacks/defense manevuers to do +2 damage/defense)

Bookkeeper:
As you shout the mystic nature of your words mix with the arcane power of Sigil. The force is so strong that the obelisk cracks behind the glowing figure. This seems to further enrage the figure and now he draws even more heavily on what ever power he controls. (Balance is restored as you have used both a chaotic and order word)

The figure is now growing larger in size...

[Throndir]

Aiming her arm cannon towards the figure, her displays told her that power output was higher than normal. She grinned. Whatever Bookkeeper did, it increased the power levels of her suit. She made a mental note to talk to him sometime, or even examine him. A moment later she shook her head.

She would have kept going on with her musings and technical thoughts, but the fight at hand demanded her attention.

In the middle of his spell, Sigil did not see the enemy's attack coming for him so much as sense the sudden shift in hostile energy, His vision was blurred with his own incantations to do much other then attempt to maintain focus, and attempt to fight off the attack. If he could counter it with sheer force of will and perhaps a quick act of deflection if he was going to continue. Centering his mind even further he went into the quite parts of his heart the same place he sat while training. The pain and suffering that he constantly pushed out of his mind trained his mind to create a wall.

Bookkeeper noted immediately that the figure, imposing as he was, was upset over the obelisk cracking. It was obvious that Viktor's powers would not effect the man, who was growing overwhelming. But what they had effected was the obelisk. I'll just have to damage what I can...He might be drawing from it, after all.

Viktor focuses on the obelisk, studying the area around it, and then vanished from where he stood. He instantaneously appeared next to the structure, slamming a hand down on the obelisk.

"DECAY!"

Viktor teleports next to the obelisk as his movement, and yells his Decay command to break the obelisk.

Sigil:
Though your concentrations fail, you manage to dodge the incoming attack, however the sphere now seems to be following you. This appears to be some sort of tracking spell, as you feel that it could be attempting to drain your magicks..

MindSense:
You arm cannon discharges, as platonic radiation floods the the area in front of you. You steady yourself with perfect aim, A wave of hyper intensified energy not only hits the your attacker, the but the wash over from the increased output causes aoe damage, You hear an ear splitting sound as Bookkeeper strikes the obelisk ... 

Bookkeeper:
Sometimes the universe ignores you and other times it pays attention, apparently this is on those times that everything is right,  as you create balance within yourself. The words "Decay" pour from your mouth, your weakness ignored as you muster up all you have, you hand impacts the obelisk, another large crack appears accompanied by a bone jarring thunder, at the place your hand met its mark.


The figure now twice his original size, is clearly weakening roars in anger and turns to strike Bookkeeper, "GET AWAY FROM THAT!!"

[Throndir]

"I don't think he wants us touching the obelisk Bookkeeper!" Mindsense said, as she charged up her weapon again.

"Lets obliterate it instead."

Shoot at the obelisk.

"UMM If you guys could do me a favor and destroy that obelisk soon that would be great!" said Sigil as he floated as fast as he could to maintain his distance and not seeming overly panicked, even though he was sweating bullets to keep his distance. He did not feel like getting hit by some magic missile. He felt like he was in some kind of cartoon as he maintainted the best distance he could while still being in sight of the others. With Bookkeeper focused on the task at hand it was the best he could do to try and force their foe's attention solely onto him so that he could buy some time.

Bookkeeper saw the man's reaction, and despite his angered growth, it was exactly as Bookkeeper wanted. Still, though he did want to follow Mindsense's advice, the crazed man was rushing the boy in a manner that couldn't simply be ignored.

As quickly as he could, he took a deep breath, then shouted as loud and forcefully as he could manage.

"SHIELD!"

His goal was to surround himself and any ally near him at the pillar with a field so the man's onslaught was delayed.

Bookkeeper called back out to Mindsense and Sigil, "I have my hands full with this guy for now, you cover the rest!"

Bookkeeper uses his Shield power word at max strength to protect himself.

You maintain your distance from the orb of energy, and it appears to be fading out as you continue to dodge.  You return the favor by sending forth a magic bolt. It explodes from your palms and heads directly for the giant humanoid. It strikes the figure exploding into a ball of fire, It Roars in pain, but quickly shifts its focus another more prominent target. The magic missile disappears.

Another blast just as powerful as the first launches from your arm cannon, veins of plasmatic energy pop and crackle around the metallic surface of your arm. The increased power knocks your aim slightly off, even so, it impacts squarely against the base of the obelisk, rupturing a large chunk off the opal colored stone, though it still stands.

Additonal damage done next round:
1D6+1

As the words are spoken a spectral form of a large shield appears quickly covering you and and anyone within ten feet of you, however you are feeling exhausted and will need to rest soon.


The figure now roars at the top his lungs he is now 4 times his original size, he charges with uncanny speed smashing into the shield and begins to pound on it with magically charged fists.  A few hits later the shield begins to crack...

Sigil slowed down now no longer being chased his body screaming he attempts to take stock of the situation once again, "We need to get that thing destroyed." he mumbled to himself. As his aching body did a number on his mind he did his best to remember what his teacher had taught him about magical artifacts of this nature if anything.  This thing had to have a weakness something that he had read back in his studies must be useful at this moment to help mindsense blow that thing to pieces.
