[QUOTE="Dekana, post: 6150364, member: 57009"] As Eva enjoys the sight of the lilacs, she suddenly senses danger. She turns around and spots an incoming fire bomb! In the blink of an eye, she raises her staff and projects a wall of force in front of her. The projectile slams into the wall and explodes, leaving Eva unscathed. She yells to the orc that attacked her, [color="darkorchid"]"What the - ? Are you trying to set these flowers on FIRE?"[/color] Eva's playful, ditsy demeanor immediately fades. Her gaze becomes icy cold and she grips her staff tightly. She shouts in fury, [color="darkorchid"]"I'll send you to hell - and worse!!"[/color] Eva points at one of the prone orcs still dazed from her last attack. Wisps of dark, necrotic energy swirl around her fingertips and then fly off into the ground beside the orc. Immediately, a pair of skeletal hands punch up from the very soil. The rest of the animated skeleton claws itself free from the earth and then stands over the orc. The skeleton lashes out at the orc, pummeling it with its bony fists, laughing insanely the whole time. [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]"HAHAHAHAHA!!!"[/COLOR][/B] Not content with just the skeleton, Eva points her staff at the orc who lobbed the firebomb. A floating jet-black portal forms in front of the orc. Papolstaanas is close enough to the portal to hear faint tortured screams coming from it, and he smells foul brimstone from its direction. Seconds later, a large green creature with over-sized fists steps out of the portal and onto this plane of existence. The demon screams in an insane rage as it slams into the two nearby orcs, digging its claws into both of them. Finally, Eva redirects her staff at one of the brutes circling around closer to her. She conjures an orb of blinding colors and sends it flying at him. It makes contact with the orcs head, searing him and leaving him dazed. [ooc]Phew, that was a busy turn.
