Arena IC - Week 1

[Corlon]

"*sigh* why couldn't you be an orc or some other evil creature?" says Corlon as he dissapears, "but better you than me, eh?"

ooc: Activate boots of speed. Activate ring of invisibility. Hide with +41 bonus, no one is gonna see me

oh yeah, and if the guy hits me with any spells, I'll try to absorb them.

Kalais is a short grey-skinned half-elf, wearing a light leather coat and trousers, with a mane of white hair tied back by a blue bandana. He wears a haversack and tucked into his belt are a rod, a dagger, and several miscellaneous potions. Kalais is also wearing a dark cloak, clasped by a magical amulet.

He says in a quiet voice, "My name is Kalais. Indeed, I have recently defeated a foe, a slaad which has taxed my abilities greatly." Several burns bear witness to this statement. "Before that....I was...dead, I think." A confused look comes over his face. "I remember a terrible pain...I was struck by a giant's club...and then...a voice. I accepted his offer to come to this place, and here I was. I'm not fully sure what happened, or where here is.

 

[Starman]

Thakk is human. He looks to be in his mid to late twenties. He has long black hair that flows several inches past his shoulders. He is close to six and half feet tall and well built. Thakk has brown eyes and a fierce gaze. A bit of a 5:00 shadow grows on his face.

He is wearing hide pants and a fine pair of boots, but no shirt. A gold chain hangs around his neck. At the end of the chain inscribed in a circle is an upside down axe crossed by two bolts of lightning. The weapon on his belt is quite strange. It appears to be a meat cleaver on the end of a two-foot long shaft. He has a sack slung over one shoulder that looks mostly empty. His leopard companion, Khazad, relaxes at his side.

"I fought a creature, too, one of earth and stone. Before that I lived another life. It seems a bit hazy now."

OOC [re: Keia's complement]: Thanks!

 

[Starman]

Edit: Darn double post!

 

[Keia]

Durin'dal stands over 6' tall and seems talls as the feathery wings that protrude from his back stand two feet taller than that. His skin is a dark tan and though his head is bald, his eyebrows are a deep brown. He wears a breastplate and cloak and has all manner of weapons including a polearm, longbow, spiked chain, scimitar, and heavy mace hanging from his belt or strapped to his back beneath the wings.

"I do remember some things of my past, of being a protector, but . . . it appears those days are no more. Well met, Thakk and Kalais. Do we wait here or see what is beyond yon door?"

Room B

OOC-I'll be out for the weekend so Maleficus will attempt to do another Hold Monster if the last didn't stick, if it did, he'll use Silent Sound to finish her off (should be enough, otherwise he'll just use enervations if those don't do it)

 

[electric-ant]

Kalais says, "Beyond, I think." He steps towards the door, opens it, and walks through, waiting outside for Thakk and Durin'dal to follow.

 

[Starman]

Thakk follows Kalais through the door. He looks his two companions up and down wondering what they are capable of and if he will ever have to battle them.

 

[Keia]

Durin'dal will follow the two out of the room, looking back into the room at the last instant to see if any other survived.

*NOTE: AS I stated before, please post where you are in at the top of your post (Not in subject, not under post, at top of post). The places are: Room A, Room B, Room C, Room D, Arena.*


Room A - The human raises his hands and chants, then brings them down and Corlon is engulfed in a pillar of Flame. He is caught completely off his guard and takes severe burns. (33 damage.. sorry, absorb attempt failed.) Groaning from the pain, he nevertheless manages to pull off his *fast+invisible* trick, quickly dissapearing from sight.
Room B - Maleficus sees his opponent start another spell, and quickly HOLDS her. She stops amid spell, and seeing his opportunity, Maleficus casts his Silent Sound spell (What books that from? I couldn't find it, so don't know what it does.)
Room C - Marcus again dissapears into the shadows as the floating mist moves around... The waiting game seems to have begun again.
Room D - Ukava appears in the room (See description above) To hear the voice say "To The Death", and sees a Large Black Dragon 100' away.


Arena Courtyard - As they leave the room they enter a very large courtyard (a few thousand feet across each direction, surrounded by 200' tall gleaming pearl-coloured walls). Various beings of all sizes, races, and professions mill around talking, playing games, arguing, practising with weapons, doing magic, Etc, Etc. There are numerous doorways around the outer edge of the courtyard.
Most Notable Beings currently in the courtyard:
A large balor sits on a throne a few hundred feet away surrounded by a group of hangers-on including several humanoids and a few other fiends.

A great gold wyrm lays slumbering at the other end of the courtyard, nobody within a 100' of it.

About 30' away is a 6'tall naked black human male sitting cross-legged facing a group of men+woman All appear to be humans, elves, and half-elves.. mostly dark skinned but some white, and some bluish hued(Sea elves).. all of which are likewise naked and cross-legged. They appear to be humming, and their eyes are closed.

A few of the beings from around the courtyard look up as you enter and you hear a few shouts of "NEWBIES" in various languages, but can't tell who shouted.
