[QUOTE="Iron Chef BBQ, post: 2405594, member: 1844"] [b]Creature Battle pt 2 (run of 02-10-04 pt 1)[/b] With the door open, the quickling darts to dash up the stairs and out of the building. It can feel the cool air from the street rushing against its face. A voice from behind says something. “Sleep.” Although the fresh air of night calls, the command to sleep sounds at the moment so much more appealing. The quickling obeys, and where there was a pink glow buzzing and zipping a moment ago, now there is a pink glow emitting a faint snore. Kel nods his head in satisfaction even as he and the quickling are swept up stairs by the rushing crowd. Once in the open, he draws his sword and swings at the quickling. One moment there is a snoring pink glow over his head. The next there are two pink glows falling to the ground. Now that Kel can see it he bends down to touch tiny hands, like a baby’s. He feels a pang in his stomach until he turns over the head and sees two rows of sharp tiny fierce teeth. The hell-puppy dashes away from the fights. He puts his paws on the edge of the wall to watch the rushing crowd. His tail is wagging, and he belches fire at the crowd in a playful way. 6 people fall to the ground. More scream as their clothing catches on fire. As the frog grows still to cast a spell, the ball of snakes jumps upon it, pinning it to the ground and pummeling it with each snake head. The frog emits a terrifyingly loud “rabbit.” The sound echoes off the walls and seems to congeal in the air. Caerwin jumps over the wall (albeit not gracefully) and swings, but is overcome by the toad’s stench. Borin grabs the axe off of Lucre’s back and leaps over the wall in front of the duke. “Oh, pwotect me! Pwotect me!” the pitiful duke pleads. Hartnett runs for the door, and Terri and Kira run after him. Kalina casts quench and every fire in the room goes out, including the torches. “Sorry,” she calls as she pulls out flint to relight the one nearest her. After quickly scanning the room for anything that might be invisible, Marja sends four magic missiles at the toad. Lucre attacks the hell-hound. “I can’t believe you’re kicking the puppy!” Marja chides him even as his sword is buried deep into the pup’s shoulder. The dog looks around with a sorrowful face and falls over dead emitting a plaintive puppy yelp as it falls. Caerwyn reaches through the thick green stench and finds the holy flame of Corean and smites at the frog. Unable to speak, the creature thinks every blasphemy he knows. Borin rushes in, less affected by the smell, and strikes. Kalina takes his place in front of the duke and draws her flame blade. He screams. “Chill,” says Kalina, rolling her eyes. The duke jumps behind his chair. “Protect me, brave citizens!” Marja sends four more magic missiles at the frog then Lucre jumps in holding his breath and makes the kill. “The snakes win!” Borin shouts as he and Caerwyn move in to dispatch the last remaining creature.
