((uhhh thats god modding saying no magic can be used isnt it?my characters slightly a dark knight...i use some black magic...lol))

((ooc: It's a matter of interpretation. Theoretically, just because a character casts a spell, does not mean it shall take effect ^^

Its not god modding to say that no magic can be used, nor to attempt to stop it from being used. He just... can't enforce it if your character happens to manage to cast some magic anyway Perhaps... you have amazing willpower so your slightly resistant and his spell doesnt have the desired effect (although it should be allowed to retain some effect... perhaps he just made spells somewhat more awkward to cast, or not as strong?)

If the situation is awkward... focus on the effect the situation has on you. You'll find some way out of it ^^ And I cant not say it anymore... I love your 'thought bubbles' ^^ ))

[Exor]

((oo ok lol ^^))

Exor quickly raises his spiked shield up to ward off the roundhouse slash.

"Hehheh...Must be faster than that my friend.Im slow but not that slow!"

.oO(Curse this barrier.Kadabruh's power won't last that long unless i find a way to rechant the spell.But i cant let him know that...)

"Hehheh Kadabruh still glows with raw power fool."

Exor holds up his sword in the air.The broad sword glowing brightly in the sunshine.

"Time to die human!"

Exor stomps his foot on the ground once...then again...and again.

"ARGHHH"

Exor holds his sword out as he begins to spin in circles.He starts off slow but begins to spin fiercly.His body not really visible because of the speed of the whirlwind.Only thing to be seen is a blur with wind circling around him.And the huge sword sticking out.

Exor shifts the whirlwind towards the knight swiftly...

((Btw Kababrah is the name of my broad sword. ^^))

[green_mantis]

Mantis springs into the air, over Exor's whirlwind, and stabs his sword down directly in the center of it. Mantis springs off with his sword after striking, landing behind Exor.
"You have no idea who my brother is do you? After sparring with him, you are hardly a challenge." Mantis says, not even out of breath.

((By the way Exor, because of the potency of the antimagic field, it has a very small radius. Which is about ten feet.))

[Exor]

Exor sees the knight fly over his head.

"WHA..WHAT?!'

Exor looks up and sees the sword flying towards him.He trys to move out of the way, but the whirlwind is so fierce he cannot control it.

"ooof!"

Exor cannot dodge the sword and is stabbed above the right brest.He falls to the ground holding his chest.

"grrr"

Exor stands up and brushes his chest off.He picks up his shield he had dropped.

"Hehheh.."

Exor sticks his hand in the hole that was made in his armor..

"Not even bleeding...My orcish skin wasn't even damaged by that.."

Exor starts to walk backwards to make room for his next attack.While walking backwards he notices Kadabruh starting to glow brighter.

.oO(hmmm...Perhaps the magic field is shorter than I thought..Hehheh)

"Looks like your magic is no match for mine pathetic human"

Exor holds Kadabruh in the air and starts to chant again in an orcish tongue.Kadabruh changes colors from blue to red.

"hehheh i was right.time to die fool."

Exor chants again and jumps high into the air..

"Arrrrghhhh"

Exor comes falling high from the sky and jabs his sword in the ground landing on it with all his weight.All the earth around him begins to shake as cracks start to form tearing apart anything around the battlefield.Trees are uprooted from the ground because of the velocity of the earthquake.
Holding onto his sword in the ground he begins to laugh...

[rebo]

"Wait.....what was that rumble? Hurry Steven, i have a feeling something is wrong!" Adam yells, as he starts to sprint to the area where he thought the rumble came from.

He then sees Mantis and a mysterious dark knight fighting. It seems as though the two are evenly matched. Adam decides to keep a good distance from them, seeing they both are experienced fighters and he guessed the dark knight was up to no good, and might kill the bystanders if he won.

[green_mantis]

Mantis cancels his antimagic field and does a backflip into the air while casting a float spell. "You are going to hurt people who have no involvement in this if you continue that!" Mantis yells from his higher vantage point. "Now come up here and face me, or would you rather die below me? As those of your skill level are bound to." Mantis calls down with a smirk on his face.

[Charon]

Cocytus

Cocytus' weak frame grabed hold of whatever remains of the doorway as the ground shook beneath him, the ground cracking and rumbling... Cocytus soon lost his grip and collapsed to the ground, raising his arms to protect himself from the sifting dust and items that scattered their way off of shelves as the building seemed to creak and groan around him

"St...stop, please just stop" his aura flickered as he continued his ignored pleas and reasonings, shaking at the desperate vehemance which now began to plague his words and stinging tears tainted his face... despite all else, this priest in training was just that, in training. He was but a child, unaware of the hostilities this world could chose to throw at itself and now he had been thrown in headlong

"Stop" his hair began to fly loose of its ponytailed restraint and pain crossed his face, but still he simply knelt on the floor, dimly aware of the large crack extending through the ground towards him... dimly aware that he should move, and yet he was failing to do so. As he spoke now... perhaps he was no longer even speaking to them when he knew there was nothing to could do to change their mind or natures

His words shook unevenly as he turned his eyes to the battle now threatening to raise itself to the domain of the sky... "Please..."

[Opie]

Opie hears a rumbling comming from the street and runs out to see what it is. as he sees the two fighting anger flares up within him, (they may harm my church)

He raises his arms, holding his staff high above his head. "Stop it, NOW!" he runs closer and points his staff at the dark knight. "You, who are you to come into my town and nearly destroy my church?!?"

He then turns to Mantis without waiting for an answer "Mantis, I swear by all the heavens and the Earth, why must you cause such a disturbance?!?"

He again turns without waiting for an answer to Cocytus "There you are! You worried me to death! Hwere have you been?!?!"

He looks around and finally yells "Well answer my questions!"

[Opie]

((lalala. Opie dances around thinking about how this used to be fun))

[rebo]

(ooc:yea im waiting for sumthin to happen....)

[Charon]

(( ooc: sorry people ^^;; Helevorn's stuck because she's talking with Synn and version hasn't come back yet. I was hoping Exor/Mantis would post a little more of their fight so Cocytus could answer both them and Opie at the same time. Unfortunately, as is, I'm signing out now, but hopefully by tomorrow evening I'll have an actual ic post up ^^ sorry that I'm holding ya up

Edit: /t rebo. This is RP... if you want something to happen, make it happen ))

[green_mantis]

((I can't do anything until Exor reacts to my actions.))

[Squee]

Steven quickly ran after Adam. He wasn't sure what was going on at all. It was getting totally chaotic. People talked of this and that...but none of it made any sense. How could something like this just explode out of nowhere?

Steven stopped a good distance away from the fight, standing next to Adam. He hated to watch these two fight...but he knew there was nothing he could do to stop it. He didn't have the skill, nor strength, nor power to do anything but watch and pray for the best.

((That's the best Steven can do. o__o))

[green_mantis]

((If Exor waits one more day I'll probably just throw my sword through his head.))

[Charon]

((ooc: That's a little.... harsh ^^;; Then again, something similar may soon happen to dear Synn if he continues to ignore my singing counterpart.
Ah well... I guess I should give you people... something else to react to, hm? ))

Cocytus

The young priest had his eyes tight shut as he ran prayer after prayer through his mind, but none of them... seemed to do anything. He heard a familiar voice yelling something out and as he opened his eyes...

"F...Father!" Cocytus' eyes locked on the head Priest desperately as he tried to stall the power within himself "Father Opie... a man lies dead... someone, there's been a murder. The blacksmith... he was murdered. Father.. I led the murderer... I led... the murderer to him" he confessed as quickly as he could through his stammer, hoping to disuade the power rising within him. If he confessed his sins, his fears... perhaps the power within him would subside

<Perhaps>

"Father... I spoke the rights" he said quickly "I spoke the rites of passing... I led him with blessing... but then" he looked to the fighters and his words faded away

"I wanted... only wanted... to stop them fighting" Cocytus' aura flickered dangerously as he cast a helpless glance at Priest Opie

<Please stop> he called silently, but he wasn't sure quite who he was appealing to. The prayers kept coming...

He wondered... if the priest could possibly know what was happening to him, could possibly know how the Gods sometimes exacted their will through the young boy... and not all of those Gods were the ones the young priest wished to consult with. That was why he had enrolled in the priesthood, to combat his unfortunate... ability.

He hadn't yet learnt how

The wrath of the Gods stirred within his heart, awoken by his anguish as he begged for the fighting to cease. The sky rumbled ominously above them and his long black hair began to rise with static.

"No" he pleaded as pain flickered across his face. The power hurt as he tried to resist it... then the sky lit up, flickering with dry lightning that crashed down around them, around the battlefield "I don't want to hurt anyone!" he cried out "I don't want anyone to fight!"

...and yet the lightning kept coming

[Exor]

((uhh curses.im not able to log on but once every few days now so..ill do a final rp til im back online for good ^^))

Exor rips his sword out of the ground causing the quakes to stop.He gets to his feet and looks around at all the damage he has caused.

.oO(My abilities are having no effect on this knight.To dodge my whirlwind...and then my quakes...ARRRGH!I must do something now!)

"Ehhehheh.."

Exor ignores all the crys for him to stop coming from all the gathered people around the fight.He chants again this time in elvish...His body begins to rise in the air and he gets face to face with the knight.

"Hehehheh...Lets play a little game..."

Exor swings his sword in the air and then clashes his sword with his shield creating 3 illusions of himself around him.The illusions and exor begins to quickly circle around mantis.As they circle exor casts an invisibility spell on himself.The circle stops and there are only 3 dark knights left..
"hehheh can you spot which ones me?"

Exor still being invisible floats down to Cocytus.
He begins to whisper to him.

"Young priest.Take care of my horse Shadowlox.You shall find him in townsquare tied to a post..Farewell.."

Exor floats off into the air leaving the city of tipa.
The 3 illusions circled around Mantis giggling.

((Just kill of the illusions.God mod them im not here to control em now ^^ later))

[green_mantis]

A hooded figure on a white pegasus rides up to where the fight is taking place.
"Mantis, come down from there, you are wasting your time." The hooded figure calls into the air.

----------------------
Mantis looks down in astonishment.
"Cat! I thought you were off killing a red dragon."

-----------------------
Cat removes her hood.
"I finished sooner than I thought I would. Now get down here before I force you." She waves her hand, dispelling the illusions. "I told you you had been wasting your time." She says as she glares at him.

[Opie]

Opie looks around angered severely. "Cocytus, calm yourself, it's all over. Just concentrate. Listen to the sound of my voice." Though still angered, Father Opie starts to hum a hymn, then he sings in elvish. (I hope he doesn't realise this is a soothing spell, it could comepletely shatter the boy's confidence.) Opie continues to sing as he dodges a lightning bolt.

He finishes his song and looks to the sky. Onnoyed by the dark knight leaving without answering any questions, he takes it out on Mantis. He yells into the air "You two! You get down here before I commit every sin known to man, along with all of your bones!"

[Charon]

Cocytus

<I want to calm down> Cocytus screamed inside his own mind, but somewhere between his wishes, the voices flowing through him, and some instruction about a horse, he didn't know where to turn anymore

<It's tearing me appart> he thought as he doubled over in agony, head in his hands as the lightning continued to crackle and spark around him. Voices flickered through his mind, some languages he knew, some he didn't... and then...

Slowly but surely something struck home within him, gentle words he wasn't entirely sure he comprehended and yet he knew the voice

"F...Father" he pleaded "Father Opie" and as the man kept singing... the anger, the frustration... it all began to seep away. The onimous lightning cracked once, lighting the sky magificently... and then it was clear. No trace that the storm had ever occured, other than the shaking young priest as he dared to raise his head, dared to look back up

"It... it stopped" he whispered, almost in amazement "It stopped"

((ooc: does anyone know... what has happened to Version?))

Edited by Charon, 03 May 2004 - 03:21 AM.

[green_mantis]

Mantis drops down to land next to Cat.
"How could you have beaten a dragon so quickly?"
-----------------------
Cat stares down at him, her green eyes flashing with anger.
"Why were you fighting someone in the middle of a city?! Just think, if you would have killed an innocent person, the blood would have been on your hands, no one else's."
------------------------
"Mantis looks down shamefully. "I'm sorry Cat. I didn't mean to endanger the people in this town."
He looks back up at Cat. "I really didn't."
-------------------------
Cat continues her angry stare. "You should try to think more before just out and starting a fight with someone. All the people who would have been hurt...Go now, and apologize to every person in this town for endangering their lives."

((Cat's description: Cat is wearing polished mythril full plate. She has mid-torso length golden blonde hair. She is wearing a thin golden circlet that almost matches her hair. Her skin is pale (like a new sock for lack of a better description). She is wearing a sword at her waist that seems to be glowing slightly in its sheath. Her lithe body is riding atop a Pegasus, and she is wearing a green cloak.))

[Silverwizard]

Narin quickly goes over to Cat and introduces himself bowing low. He smiles and does all of this with much flippery and pomp.

[rebo]

Adam stood staring in amazment. He had only heard of dragons in tales, and had never seen a peguses, either.

"I doubt Mantis was going to hurt anybody", Adam says in Mantis's defence. "If he had gotten close to anybody, I'm sure he would have forced himself and the dark knight away from them"

[green_mantis]

Cat listens to Narin's introduction, from what he was saying, she could guess that this was well rehearsed, and some of the facts may have been stretched.

"It is good to meet you Narin." Cat says with a polite tilt of her head.


Looking at Adam, "He has to learn to stop being impetuous." Cat notices Mantis hasn't yet moved. "Get Moving! NOW!" She yells at Mantis.
-----------------------
Mantis is startled by Cat yelling at him, and rushes off to apologize to people.

[Opie]

Opie strolls over to Cocytus, now done yelling. He seems quite happy when he isn't bothered by something. "Well, are you ready to return to the church?"

[Charon]

Helevorn

"Hey...ya?" Helevorn tilts her head in mild annoyance as she looks at Synn "I know that ya don' know mey or ay-nee-ting, but ya bey-yin just a lil' bit rude, ya know-wa?"

She taps him on the head lightly with the staff she'd flicked in front of him to stop his flight in the first place

"I'm He-le-vo-run, pleased t' mey-cha" she bowed slightly and forced a smile "And who-wa myght you be ser? I've never seen ay-nee-won with hayre the co-lour that yours is round he-yer... and ya ne'er did tell mey wheyer you were off to in sucha hur-ree"

Translation
::Heya? I know that you dont know me or anything, but you're being just a little bit rude, you know?::
::I'm Helevorn, please to meet you. And who might you be sir? I've never seen anyone with hair the colour that yours is around here... and you never did tell me where you were off to in such a hurry::

[Charon]

Cocytus

"Y...Yes Father" Cocytus nodded distantly as he rose to his feet... then "No... no, I'm not"

He looked around, trying desperately to regain his composure, but in truth he was just glad that his mind was finally clearer

"I... the blacksmith still lies in his shop, and I was asked by... I was asked to take care of a travellers horse. He... left... it in the town square to be collected"

[Opie]

"Alright, do what you must, just don't get yourself in trouble." Father Opie turns to the crowd and yells "I'm Heading back to the church. Anyone that is interested in following may do so if they please. But remember" he says eyeballing Cat and Mantis "Make no trouble in the house of god."

[rebo]

"I guess i'll go" Adam replies to the priest. "I have no where else to go..."

[Squee]

That's...I-I...I know that face... Steven said as he clutched the black book in his hands. He ran towards Opie, stopping nae yards from him.

"...F-Father! A-Are you the one who asked for this?" Steven said as he extended the book out to Opie. The book was obviously one of much religious value. The cover was written in gold both in common-human and elvish.

"...I-I came as fast as I could!"
