[QUOTE="Droid101, post: 1948477, member: 942"] Their eyes open. Barren wastelands. Volcanic explosions. It was Hell all right. “We be makin’ it all right. Now den, we gotta be findin’ dis friend ‘o yours,” Viknen says as he slowly stands. “That was crazy,” Eltharion says, looking to Bloodthorne and Ogrim. Off in the distance they could see what looks like a huge white column rising up into the black-clouded sky. “Let’s move, that’s as good a place as any to go,” Ogrim points to the column, and they start for it. Off in the distance they could see horrible shapes moving. Demons, devils, all fighting. “Hope they don’t notice us,” Eltharion says. A small green form could be seen flying in their direction. Eltharion squints his eyes and peers up. It starts to fly in a little faster. “Something’s coming…” Eltharion readies his Sun-sickle and Moon-scimitar. The others similarly ready their weapons. Viknen cast [I]fly[/I] on Eltharion and Ogrim. Those two and Bloodthorne flew up to the level of the thing. “Bring it on, then,” Bloodthorne chuckled as he spun his two longswords. The creature finally came close enough to identify. Drelhornsdrathdin. …… [I](Queue Flashback) Partially surrounded, the dragon turned to Eltharion. [/i]I hope you know how to swim, morsel[i], the dragon thought. It took to the air and flew at him fast, too fast. Eltharion had no time to jump into the river first. The dragon placed a giant clawed hand into Eltharion’s body and pushed him into the river, diving in with him. Blaze cast [/i]gate[i], opening a portal directly under the surface of the water. “I banish you to HELL,” Blaze said with authority. And so he did. Eltharion and the dragon were expelled onto dry land, surrounded by barren gray wastelands. Firey explosions and volcanic activity could be seen off in the distance. The sky was covered in dark, black clouds. Eltharion and the dragon fell to the ground quite unceremoniously.[/I] …… “Uh oh…” Eltharion muttered. “I knew I’d get my chance at you, morsel,” the dragon’s voice boomed out over the barren landscape. Another form flew in from the side. A form glowing in brilliant rainbow colors… …and Bink cast [I]web[/I] on the the green dragon. The webbing stuck to its wings and kept him from flapping. The dragon let out a loud roar as it plummeted to the ground. Viknen staggered backward at the impact, but stayed standing. Eltharion, Ogrim, and Bloodthorne decended instantly upon Drelhornsdrathdin. Bink let out a [I]lightning bolt[/I] at the dragon, which howled in pain again. Bloodthorne’s blades slashed and sliced, digging deep past the thick scales of the huge dragon. Eltharion unleashed a flurry, and Ogrim slammed into the dragon with a few well-placed hits with his Orc-Killer axe. Combine all that with Bink’s pretty constant [I]magic missiles[/I], and Drelhornsdrathdin let out its final roar. Eltharion stabbed him one last time for good measure, then looked over to Bink. “What are you doing here!” Eltharion shook his friend’s hand heartily. “I’ve got business in Hell. Actually, I just found a path to the Second Level of Hell, and that’s where I’m going,” Bink replies. “We’re trying to find Enzonito. We think Gryrtag is keeping him prisoner. You want to come with us?” Eltharion asks. “No, I’ve got my own things to attend to, but I’ll go with you to the Second Level. I think that’s where Gryrtag’s palace is anyway,” Bink responds. “Gryrtag’s palace… great…” Eltharion mumbles. They continued on toward the white column. As they approached, they could see what looked like a staircase on it, along with a huge hole below it, with a golden-red glow coming from it. A huge city sprawled out in the hole, and so the Heroes flew down, avoiding the staircase, as many strange and hideous forms were ascending or decending it. They bid Bink farewell, and quickly touched ground and headed for an alley. The cobblestones were made of brass, and they were burning hot. Ogrim’s boots were thick, and Bloodthorne couldn’t feel it anyway, but Eltharion and Viknen had to fly along next to them. The brass buildings were hot to the touch as well. They avoided what strange creatures they could as they found an alley. “So, how do we find Gryrtag?” Eltharion asks Ogrim and the others. “I’m not sure. Perhaps we should ask someone?” Ogrim answers. “Devil hunting?” a man with a snake’s tail instead of legs slithers past them down the alley, and pushes open a wall and goes down some stairs, motioning the Heroes to follow… Will they find Gryrtag’s palace? How can they get in? How can they kill him? How can they find Enzonito? How can they succeed?? Find out, next time… [/QUOTE]
