Exploring the Woods

[Leon 'Judas' Magnus]

Judas opened his mouth to protest against Arche's words, but sighed, shaking his head slowly as he realized it was probably useless anyway, Rutee wouldn't let him off lightly, and it just wasn't worth the fight.

He followed after the others silently, listening to them as he spoke, taking note of Arche's point,

"...I don't like it much myself, but we have no choice but to keep going.... We've put up a fight till now, and I'm not about to give it all up." he winced slightly as he felt Rutee cling to his arm, more-so in a defensive manner, then someone seeking comfort, but he ignored it for the time being, and focused on the task at hand.

"Yeah, this place gives me the creeps as well. Hate to think what they might be doing with my amulet in a place like this."Cless said eyeing the walls suspiciously.

"Something really just doesn't seem right here. Even for a network of catacombs it just seems evil and stinks of death in here." said Chester looking over his shoulder again.

it wasnt long before the group came across the door to a large chamber. upon entering, the captain in blue armor could be seen at an alter, in front of what looked like a seal. Cless' pendant, along with a similar one were placed over the seal.

"come forth oh mighty Dhaos!" he exclaimed, "come forth and serve your new master!!!"

[Leon 'Judas' Magnus]

"Dhaos?" Judas repeated, frowning, "Who the hell is Dhaos?"

"Bocchan... I don't like the aura around that man or the alter... I really think you should get out, NOW!"

"...Chaltier might be right..." Rutee muttered, "We can take care of them when they come out, but I really think we'd be better of leaving, like, right now..."

"We came this far..." Judas muttered, "I'm not about to turn around now!" he stepped forward in front of the others, his sword still at the ready, along with his dagger, as he pointed Chaltier at the captain's back, ready to fight again, despite his injuries.

[Asch The Bloody]

"Right on time" sad the captain as the pendants were lifted into the air and shattered, the seal over the alter breaking completely.

"Now the seal is broken!. Come Dhaos, destroy these interlopers!!!!"

[Kelthon Agencourt]

"Master?" said the summoned Dhaos bemusedly. "I thank you for awekening me, but I serve no man and you have outlived your purpose." said Dhaos with a wicked grin as he decimated the guards with destructive white light. "Now for the rest of you he said turning towards the party, why are you here?" he said, obviously intent to kill them after toying with them for a bit.

[Leon 'Judas' Magnus]

Judas open and shut his mouth several times, trying to come up with a decent reason for being there. Honestly, had had no reason for being there, not really and, 'atoning for my sins' didn't seem to be a logical answer to give at the moment (though, he would admit, it might distract the strange, tall, and rather odd looking blond man from his killing intent).

Rutee frowned and stepped forward, pointing up at Dhaos, obviously annoyed,

"We're looking for something you nosy blond-girly-man. Why the hell should you care what we're doing? I mean honestly, it's not like we're bothering you, so why do you gotta bother us? I mean, don't you have some trees to go hug or someth-mmggfff!"

"...Rutee..." Judas muttered, shutting his eyes in annoyance, one hand over the other's mouth, "Please, do my a favor... And shut up... Just for now, please, shut up..."

[Asch The Bloody]

Arche's eyes widened as she gazed upon the now ressurrected Dhaos.

"Guys.." she murmurred, "This guy's mana....its......evil......really evil"

The young witch began to tremble in fea.

[Leon 'Judas' Magnus]

"Really now...Evil? I couldn't tell..." Judas muttered, staring at Dhaos, a deep frown on his face as he took a defensive step in front of Arche, pushing Rutee behind him as well, his grip tightening on Chaltier's handle, "I don't think we needed his mana aura for that..."


"You all need to leave...Now..." a soft voice muttered from behind them, "I can distract him, for only a short time, but you need to get away." an old man with dark red hair walked up behind them.

((I hope you all know, I'm only using Morrison as an NPC, I'm not taking him on officially, I barely remember what he did anyway))

[Kelthon Agencourt]

"Distraction?" said Dhaos, "Well, let's see what you're planning on doing anyways, and if any of you make a move for the exit, expect to be blasted." he said with power crackling at his finger tips.

Cless gripped his sword hilt as he watched these exchanges, ready to dodge out of the way of any more strikes.

Chester waited with his bow lowered and said "I hope you have something good" towards the newcomer.

[Asch The Bloody]

"To be honest, i don't think anything he could do would make to much of a difference" Arche muttered, her eyes not moving from the maniacle figure before her.

[Leon 'Judas' Magnus]

"Don't worry about wither or not this is going to work, just worry about getting away...." he pushed Judas, who had been inching forward, back, along with Cless and Chester, glancing over his shoulder, "I already told you, to get out!"

He stepped forward, looking up at Dhaos as he a mana circle appeared under his feet, glaring up at the blond man,

"I dwell amidst the abounding light of heaven, thou art at the gate to the underworld, come forth, thunder of the gods! It ends here, Indignation!"

As the bright attack began to rain down, the mysterious old man darted back to the ground, shoving them all down to the ground as a second mana circle appeared,

"I'm sending you somewhere safe. FOr now, go there and prepare yourselves, get an army, and come back later...."

"What the hell are you talking-?!" Judas began, looking confused, but was cut off as light engulfed them, and everything went black.



(( http://youtube.com/watch?v=TqqLBGgjG3o thee is a rather comical reenactment of what happened.

yeeeeeeeah... I got lazy in that post... *snort* I say... THEY ARE SENT TO AILILY! ooo plottwist... or something... >.>; someone else take care of starting the post there...))

[Kelthon Agencourt]

"Bah, you oaf, where did you send them?! You can't even teleport yourself as well, I'll show you!" he yelled as he prepared to throw his attack at Morrison.

"W... Where are we?" asked Cless dumbfounded as he looked around their landing site.

"Don't know" said Chester looking around, "But I think there's a village we can go to nearby".
