[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7011582, member: 9255"] DARKSUN: RUINS OF DESTRUCTION SEGMENT 018 ADVENTURE THREE: BLACK FLAMES 01/01/17 21ST DAY OF 5TH MONTH DUSK “Sir?” Turkulkhan stammers in confusion and fear. Farclunn has tied one end of a long giant hair rope to his waist and now holds out the line to the bird man. “Tie it to your own waist.” He does so and warily looks at him and swallows hard. He flaps his wings and slowly takes to the air. He swoops under an arch of the raised walk way and towards the others whom already have begun to march to the palace area. Surprising to the aarakocra, the mage is much heavier than he expected…. Until remembers what he sees is a mere magical illusion. In truth, he is tied to a ten foot tall creature of mythic power. It is not long before they reach the second wall. Suddenly Farcluun falters and trips. The action nearly pulls the air out of Turkulkhan’s lungs. He does drop from the sky but lands with only a short tumble. He curses the fates again with the loss of his pin feathers. Then suddenly Farcluun hurries past him flailing his arms before him. Turkulkhan looks in confusion then calls out as the rope goes taunt and he is dragged behind the dragon in human form. Farcluun stops only when he crashes into some pieces of a building. He snarls and tries to use magic to aid him. The cacti soften and turn brown but nothing seems to happen. “RRRAAARGH! I CURSE THE WALL!” This growl and curse causes the others to turn and watch. Turkulkhan is trying to take to the air once more as Farcluun concentrates to hear the others. “Is he…. Drunk?” asks Torruk. Tanis laughs. “No- He’s blind.” Delphia gives him a swift elbow to the gut. By listening to their breathing he zeroes in on them. The birdman does everything he can just to keep with him. Listening for Tanis to speak. The dragon then strikes out telekinetically at him. “Never disrespect me Bard.” Not a bard thinks Tanis as he picks himself up from the sand some fifteen feet away. “This is the place?” He demands as he looks between Delphia and Torruk. “Yes” she answers. Having prepared several scrolls to activate with a single word left to say he begins to activate them. Powerful magic is called on as the last rays of the Darksun disappear. Sand rises and swirls. Delphia fears another teleporting storm. Swirling sand with occasional shadows of people are seen. Then crumbling ruins… the complete buildings that are on fire. A fourth scroll is finished shows attacking and raiding soldiers. They are destroying buildings and plundering the city. A giant lion headed scorpion crashes through a building that resembles the palace. A golden dragon-like creature tries to stop it. Magic and psionic energies flare and with the sixth scroll finished a complete palace remains upright before them with sand removed from the entrance area. “It is done.” Says Farcluun quietly. Delphia wisely keeps it to herself when she wondered if he was referring to the magic or the palace being exposed. [/QUOTE]
