Ubaar, Akharos, and Alex charge out the back door. The chaos continues as fireballs go off in the crowd. The three of you, fighting in a triangular formation, cut down guards and fling soldiers aside as you move towards safety. You notice that a handful of men in grey robes, weilding 2 swords ad moving very quickly, are fighting around you, helping you to get through. As you break free, three of them do as well. A fourth reaches the rest of you, and suddenly you find yourself in a different place. You appear in a room with several bunks and many stacks of weapons. Sitting at a table is Kelnar and two elves that you have never seen before. The men with you take off their hoods, revealing themselves to be elven as well.
One of them stands up and introduces himself "Greetings, my name is Thydin of the Rangers of Evereska. We heard that you guys were in a bit of trouble. We had hoped that we could have kept this from you longer, but I think that it is time that you knew who comissioned Irusyl to send you here: All along, you have been in the service of Queen Amruil of Evermeet. These temples, as you know, are thought to be developing a new generation of ships retrofitted with formidible magical and mechanical improvements. As she commands the mightiest fleet in the region, Her Majesty is obviously quite concerned with that possibility."

Elone spins around towards where she left the beat, considers for a second, and then sets off down the corridor at a lope, heading away from the likely pursueres. She attempts to drag Jaina along bodily if need be.

Elone moves towards the end of the hallway, pulling Jaina along. There are two huge steel doors at the end of the hall, and a big lever that can open them. A 7-foot man man made entirely of varous metals with oversized fists and magical runes etched in his body steps out of a nook to block the dorway.

Elone considers the creature. "Demon or machine, step out of my way. I mean to out of this building, and Solonor's will guides my steps. Be it through you or past you, I will be on."
She raises her hand towards the thing, focusing Solonor's will through it (OOC: Attempted turning/positive energy channelling)

Reaaper and GE: please post. The toher thread is on hold until you catch up.
The blast of energy is ineffective against the creature.
It moves up to Elone, who stands one gaurd weilding one of those shocker clubs she got off a guard.
For a creature of metal, the creature is fast. He strikes right through Elone's defenses, his lead and adamantine fist striking her in the face (20hp), dizzying her momentarily (save vs Stunning Fist = Success) and causing her to taste blood in her mouth.

Elone shakes her head, spitting blood into the things face. "That's how it will be, then?" She briefly considers stepping back, but her anger over-rides her caution. She pulls back the club, and slams it into the monster (OOC: Full attack on the critter).

The creature seems to have a spark of malevolent intellegence in it. Its eyes seem to show surprise that Elone took the blow and remained standing. Elone strikes back with the weapons she found on the guards, baton's of pure adamantite that crackle with electrical energy. Her first blow parried aside easily by the creature's powerful arms, but she recovers her stance faster than he and smacks him accross the face, turning his head aside (15 dmg, nice rolling). A rune on the creature's left leg begins to glow, and his movements seem significantly faster. Again, he punches through her defeses easily, hitting her again in the face (19 dmg, save sucessful). She stumbles back a step, but recovers.
