seen as,receiving 2 bottles that were poured into the metakl flasks,one of ice making,the other for wards,and with a resolution of greater trust they made their way to thye final portal,or entry

'Tahoma'">“understood,we will fight,but is there a reason for this,what is the meaning behind what we seek to achieve good mage”Alliyah asked as they took their weapons,and stepped towards the juncture.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">“the great army they seek to achieve is not fully gathered,if destroyed before then,our goal will be met”with that they felt the drop of air into a swirling mist that lasts for several seconds,then a skak of light,followed by a shimmer about their own bodies and they stood beside a river next to the creeping cliffs.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">“I smell evil….i fear you not show yourself!”Kiazo spoke,stepping in front of the group and making towards what looked to be a dormant bonfire pit.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">A scuttling sound from a group of boulders,was made,and Shieiste swiftly swooped her way towards it,and created a glow in her hands,as she followed the sound that changed from one area to another a beam was released and the boulder melted into liquid then formed into dust,and</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">there on the ground was a Mrytel,female-with golden wrist gaurds,and a nervous composure. It did’nt move,and soon Kreffiotor had cast a speak with animals spell and learned of the nature of their find.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">`what is the nature of you’re relation with the Zombie Legion’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">‘i…i.. was once the gaurdian to a mage….a mage of the Thendolar Council’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">‘then you are not Abysall’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">‘no…I was sent here by mistake as mky master was slain,before we left the Abyss,after scouting’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">‘I am Kreffiotor and this is my group of warriors,we also work with reguard of the Thendolar council’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">‘then please may I join you,I was nearly slain,but they left,one carrying a stave cast blood from the sky,but my armours are protective against Abysall formed spells’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">‘what did this blood do’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">‘it made the leader glow,and it’s body looked like the energy of 100 demons,as the ground melted into blur lava from the raindrops’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">‘very strange,so you will join us,we must fight one of these legions,if you have any idea where they are,that should be very helpful…excuse me this is Shieista,Alliyah the Stormrider of Doom,Kiazo,Chealsoroy,and Xeina’</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">With the intoduction and nature of the task set into good will,they walked for several hours in the direction the Mrytel suggested,past stained cliff faces,datrk and blemished by spellwork,a series of broken portals as the black one used,and a row of human bodies rotted and cut oopen across their bodies as if to bleed the blood from them,attached to a chain held by</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">two posts with engravings written in Abysall and the look of being cast of silver.They stood before the corpses,and finally agreed to perform a fire burial,with Xiena’s blessings in spite of the chance the flames may attract enemies,but this went un disturbed,and just a few minutes later,they finally found a butress,black and ominous,that revealed steps leading into the ground.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">“undoubtedly the compound for one of the Legions,perhaps those that are away,we shall find a way to destroy what we can”Kreffiotor suggested as they made onto the stairs ,but suddenly the hallbefore them flowed in a field,that relished black wisps,and a dancing strein of blue energy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">The Elf got to the problem,and after several applications,they suffered a reffuse of damage,but the field was destroyed,and the room before them fell to the sepctacle of what these Zombies were made of.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">The walls had gemed eyes,10 a side,that were alive,a spell of magic jewel,it was uncertain,and four altars made of copper and bronze with words of power written upon them,lay at the corners with skulls of baby dragoons,one on each,-these had a black silk band wrapped about their eyes,and the center of the room,was opened to a blue lava pit,that gutgled louldly</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">and occasionaly let wisps of black into the air.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">“Abysall poisen,we must cover that pit”the mage warned,holding the others back,as the she demon,cast a super pile of earthen material across the opening,that held for an uncertain tenure.She,stepped upon it,being certain of the effect,and the room soon layd way to their intent.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">They took the skulls and smashed them open,and set fire to the silks,and Kiazo was able to smash enough about one of the eyes of power,and retrieve one,however when the orc picked it from the ground it burned like a devil in beligerence,and the others,gathered about,hoping they could resolve this,and take each gem,surely breaking any hold the room had.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">“it is not fire…it is evil,the pain….”Kiazo then took a drink of elixer,and they understood the nature of the icon of which the Zombies surely had used for powers of Abysall arcana that could crush an enemy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">The Mrytel then stepped in before they could make a resolve,and picked it from the ground into her claw,and showed it to them,they looked in confidence,and Kiazo tried to remove another,as the Myrtel,dug a hole in the earthen cover over the pit,and dropped the gem into the lava,then covered the hole.They found that casting ice across the gems,made them</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">removable from the wall without destroying the wall in a vain effort,and soon they had destroyed all but 4 of them,which they set in a silk and ties to the Myrtel.This done,the group now searched for a secret door,and soon Xein had uncovered a switch from a fake wall stone,that opned a doorway across from the first.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">“what strange work is this we’ve found,surely it takes a great mage to control</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">the weave with that we’ve seen”Alliyah asked as they began through the hall,Kreffiotor having cast ‘dancing lights’ by the stave’s invocation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">“we shall see,there’s no enemy like the wisdomous,demon or nay”Chealsoroy</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">presented what was a voiced concern for the same idea as Stormrider’s.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">The answer of battel’s call awaited them,as soon as they enterd the next chamber,for gaurding another altar,in a 100 ft sqaure room,were 4 Hell Dogs,made into a form of zombie beast.The altar glowed in a fissure of energy,and died as soon as the creatures lept from the dias on which it stood,the nature of the power being gaurded for certain.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">Ice flurries,and weaves of spells streamed like a rainbow of uncontined power from the party,as they used the potions,and spells to make weaker these foes.This was not necessarily true,but they made this their first strike,and Alliyah was able to slash deeply across the muzzle of one attacker,as Kiazo delimbed it just after.Fire lept from the maws of the foes,and scarred Shieiste and Xeina,while the others dofged away,taking into a fight of 3 on 1.As Kreffiotor sent a beam spell,at the un cornered beast,another</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">had lurched around

and cast at this Hell dog,with ‘vorporeal straffs’ that exacted a tripley powerfull array of slashes,and as the Myrtel slashed a final attack it died.Only two remained,but again the attack of a fire
