[IC] Rivals (Group 1)

[Mysticsage]

Kryas was hurting and with so little damage things were going badly for all of them if he didn't do something soon then they would get completely overrun by undead.

"lets see how you handle this one!" stepping forward just beyond the remains of the first set of skeletons he purses his lips he let out a whistle that was more felt then heard as it travel through the air. Spreading out like a ripple in a lake. Just as he finishes a golden portal opens up next to him. A white dog with brilliant red markings came stepping out proudly with a yawn and a long scar over its left eye.

Kryas kneeling down scratches behind one of the dogs ears he sat straight like a knight waiting for orders.
"Hey there Kuro do me a favor and help me clean up these pesky undead yeah?"

The dog seemed to laugh bark slightly before nuzzling Kryas and and charging off to the nearest skeleton.

Lifting the crate, Vladimir heaved the heavy object off the roof; aiming the potential projectile at the skeleton below him. It wasn't hard as the creature was an unmoving target. The crate went flying as it struck the skeleton, scattering its contents. On the floor were multiple broken bottles, vials both broken and unbroken, scrollcases, and what looked to be some sort of book.

The celestial dog Kryas had summoned charged towards the nearest skeleton it was able to see.

Gods, I hope no one but the owner finds that book... Vladimir thinks to himself, blushing slightly for a moment. He's thankful no one can see him well where he is, as that is NOT what he expected to find in a crate.

Then his mind was set back to the battle, and he saw the extent of the damage down below. Not quite enough...how else can I damage these things...ah...well...I guess I could do that...not exactly a satisfying way to do things.

Vladimir then concentrated for a moment. Any watching him notice his size and stature change slightly, but because he's on the roof, it is hard to make out any details. But he knew. He'd seen it before, when he had flew into a rage, years back. His gaze aloe in this form was enough to gain spite.

All of Vladimir's extremities elongated, his nails growing sharp. His eyes changed to a menacing, dimly-glowing red, and all his features became narrow. Despite turning gaunt, there was no doubt his strength had actually grown. Yes, he knew what he was. It was time to accept it.

Spoiler

Vladimir goes into his true methuselan form, gaining increased str, dex, con, and cha. This takes a full round, and thus nothing else occurs.

Before anyone can get a clear look at him, Vlad dives off the roof at the skeleton, rapier and kukri in hand. I just need to finish this quick and revert before anyone gets a clear look. No need to get myself targeted by the townsfolk, nor unknowing guildmates.

He lands on the skeleton below, doing a double slash with his two blades, hoping to finish it off here.

Jorn watched the commotion and the antics of his fellow guilders. What had started as a slow morning had erupted into a full confrontation of undead. He shuffled down the street seeking his next target. Once the creature is in sight, Jorn lets loose another assault of missiles. ?Might I suggest finding some cover, there appears to be an ambush that we have found ourselves in.?

Jorn?s hand begins the weaving symbols of a spell, concentrating the arcane flows willing them into a single creation.

The final skeleton was blasted as Jornathel's magic missiles struck its target. There was a loud scream heard from the south-west, as well as what sounded like battle.

Around Vladimir were various peices of broken bottles and vials. Though, there might be something salvagable in the thrown crate.

Looking through the contents of the crate one last time, Vladimir determines he had gotten all that interested him. Leaving the book was especially important. I hope the owner gets it back without any trouble...otherwise the undead won't be his only problem...

Vlad then relaxes and reverts back to his base form before stepping out of the alleyway. Now that this area was secured, he was able to rush south, remembering the sounds of combat from earlier. As he runs toward the source of the noise, he shouts to his allies, "Quickly, this way, there were sounds of more combat, and I feel they may need our help!"

I really hope no one saw my transformation...if they did I'll have some more explaining to do...well, at least to the ones who don't already know.

Spoiler

Vladimir runs south to the source of the noise he'd heard moments ago.

Vladimir
Running southwards you see before you fellow guild members. You recognize Ryine as he's fighting with one of the skeletons. A large one at that. But the moment you had laid eyes on the scene, two arrows aimed for you. You managed to see them in time as you dodged the projectiles. They came from two more skeletal archers who, like the previous set, had been lying in wait.

The commotion all around gave way to more skeletons. This was an odd undertaking for so many of these creatures to be arranged in ambushes and the like. He moved forward in hopes of better understanding the total situation, attempting to find the next possible target. It would not do to try and have a conversation with his party members with arrows flying at their respective heads.

Jorn moves forward attempting to find his next target, if none are seen move closer to the open street ahead until a target presents itself.

"Damn it all." Vladimir hissed. His allies were just in reach, most likely needing help, and yet more of these archers appeared. "Out of the way!" He roared as he charged the nearest one, stepping just right to set up a spin as he was in reach, whirling both blades straight at his foe.

Note to self, invest in some sort of blunt weapon in case such creatures show themselves again.

The elf finally opened his eyes, having spent enough time gathering arcane intel. He had not put that time to waste, for even as he was busily gathering intel from the weave, he was also spending that time in quiet meditation. Lyolf smiled. Already he could feel the chi circulating with greater efficiency within his system.

Shadows burst from his form as he moved eastwards towards his companions, his weapon ready in his hands. And to the unobservant, it would appear like something from a nightmare-an elf clad in shadows, a deadly weapon in his hands, and an unearthly glow in his eyes.

Spoiler

Setting Lyolf to level 2, then activating Child of Shadow, stopping the concentration of his spell, and taking a double move at max distance to the east.

[Throndir]

Jornathel's magic missile took down another one of the skeletons, and though Vladimir closed the distance to his, his weapons weren't as effective as they sliced bone. Down south, some of the party still sees Ryine and now Aria joining the fight against a larger skeleton.

Vlad continues his assault, letting out his frustration on the skeleton, after realizing he was ill-prepared for this fight. This time, still spinning off his prior movement, he brought his weapons around once more and sliced up vertically along the skeleton, the blades biting into the ribcage of the undead before him.
