I don't know, everybody is racist against Droids, maybe? Another update for my loyal followers!Sandtiger said:
-------------------------------------
Bink calls upon the power of his newly acquired Book of Infinite Spells and casts a blade barrier at Delroc. Various blades spin into existence and fly toward the monster at high velocities. The blades cut into it, spilling all sorts of brackish fluids as it calls out in pain.
Eltharion, Grog, Ogrim and Bloodthorne rush in, slashing with their weapons. The thing’s thick skin buffets their blades away.
The Baronian guards, after overhearing the conversation, turn and run away, back toward the city.
Viknen envokes a haste spell on Eltharion.
Then, things get strange.
Ogrim and Bloodthorne freeze in place. As if time wasn’t passing for them at all. Eltharion flashes a confused look, but doesn’t relent, slashing into Delroc some more, each time scoring minimal cuts.
Bink fires off a lightning bolt, but the bolt fizzles as it collides with Delroc.
“I’ve been waiting to do this for an eternity!” Delroc slashes out with its suddently vicious claws, tearing into Eltharion’s flesh. “That felt sooo good!”
Bink then froze, but then Ogrim was able to move. Ogrim slammed into Delroc with his warhammer; his Orc-Killer axe recently traded in Union.
Grog hacked at Delroc, also drawing minimal wounds.
All of a sudden, Grog, Bink, and Ogrim were frozen. Bloodthorne spins and slashes to no avail. Viknen’s eyes gloss over to sapphire blue, invoking a gaze attack, but it also had no effect.
Delroc floats back, pointing at Grog and unleashing a flux of space-time. It wracks Grog’s unmoving body.
“Too easy,” Delroc chortles.
This is the last help I can give… Blaze’s voice mysteriously sounding in the Heroes’ heads again. TEMPUS!!!!
Everyone felt stronger all of a sudden. Their weapons seem feather-light.
Grog swings with all his might, cutting a deep and terrible wound into Delroc’s flank.
Eltharion could move all of a sudden, and cut into Delroc as well.
A silver streak, and an arrow slams into Ogrim’s arm. The pain is terrible, but he grits his teeth, looking to the source. A fifteen foot tall, silver-skinned man with pristine wings stands, firing a glorious bow. A trumpet sounds from behind him, and a familiar trumpet archon and hound archon step up to either side of the angel. The Celestial Avengers.
“I knew we should have killed him…” Eltharion grumbles.
The hound angel and trumpeter angel both charge in, greatswords at the ready.
“Once again we find you consorting with a demon!” the hound shouts.
“We’re FIGHTING with it!” Eltharion calls out in frustration.
“Kill them all!” the silvery solar’s voice booms out over the battlefield. It’s starting to rain.
“Friends?” Delroc asks, not really caring. He turns to the onrushing angels. Both of whom freeze in place when they get too close to him. He touches the trumpeter, invoking some kind of temporal power.
Bink and Grog are able to move, and everyone else is frozen at that instant. Bink casts yet another blade barrier which cuts deeply into Delroc before he moves out of the way. Grog slashes a few more times, each strike as though Blaze’s enhanced musculature was behind it.
Five arrows come streaking in, four of them striking home, but Ogrim’s unmoving form doesn’t flinch.
Bloodthorne is able to move, finally, and tumbles away from Delroc, sprinting toward the solar angel. Eltharion does the same.
Viknen heals Ogrim, and then backs away from the battle.
Delroc touches the hound now, invoking that same temporal energy. He then turns his attention to Grog.
Grog then freezes in place, but Ogrim is able to move. He takes the opportunity to crack his hammer into Delroc with his newly acquired strength. Delroc almost looks desperate.
The solar unleashes his huge greatsword, which begins to float and attack Bloodthorne on its own. He turns his bow down at Eltharion and fires five arrows at point blank range. Three of them strike hard, but Eltharion stays standing. He and Bloothorne flank the solar, and then they both let loose.
Each of them sends out a flurry of blades. Eltharion’s Sun-sickle and Moon-scimitar spin with unerring accuracy. Bloodthorne’s twin longswords find all the most vulnerable spots. After a flash and over ten thrusts, slashes, cuts, and jabs, the solar is severely staggered.
Grog freezes, and Delroc touches him, trying to invoke some temporal energies. However, Grog is able to resist despite his unmoving state.
Ogrim takes that opening to slam his hammer into Delroc a few more times.
Bink unleashes yet another blade barrier. The blades slash and cut into Delroc, who looks pretty thoroughly frustrated.
“Enough of that!” Delroc yells, pointing and sending a flux of space-time at Bink, who reels from the mental and physical anguish.
The solar waves a hand and heals himself completely. His greatsword hacks into Bloodthorne several more time, but that doesn’t slow him or Eltharion down. They go into their attack routines once again, and once again deal incredible damage to the hardy solar. One last slash from Eltharion to the solar brings it down to one knee, and one last stab from Bloodthorne to the solar’s spinal cord ends the fight.
“The Celestial Avengers will never fall!” were the last words he spoke.
Miraculously, Ogrim, Grog and Bink are all able to move at the same time, and they make sure to make good use of that time. Ogrim slams Delroc a few more times, another of Bink’s blade barriers has Delroc’s floating quaver slightly.
A final flurry from Grog, and all the rage he has built up over the past month, and Delroc hits the ground. A gurgle and a flash of space-time sends the Heroes reeling, but the beast is dead. The hound and trumpeter angels, both puff into dust, their essence already absorbed by the now-dead Delroc.
The party gets together, Viknen and Bink heal everyones wounds as best they can. The Baronian guards are nowhere to be seen.
“How many enemies did you guys make while I was gone?” Bink asks incredulously.
How did Blaze talk to them from beyond the grave? Or how did he imbue them with such power? Can they help the dwarves reclaim their ancient homes? Find out more, next time!
