[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 502558, member: 96"] [b]Session Thirteen, Part Three: Di'Fier's Revolt[/b] At the armored figure's nod, the two thugs started forward. Di'Fier clasped his hands behind his back, rocking on his heels as he waited for them. As he expected, they traveled down the center of the hold, out of reach of the chained prisoners...which put them in a nice, straight line. "[i]Kaegunsvent![/i]" The keyword of the spell ripped through the hold, carrying in its wake a tremendous rush of force that sent the sailors crashing backwards, impaling themselves on the black spikes of the armor, and knocking the figure to the deck. As one, the other prisoners tore and twisted at their bindings, heedless of the damage done to their hands. Blood ran down the arms of the mercenaries as they twisted against the metal. Di'Fier stretched his arm out towards the chains that held his partner. Another word in the ancient tongue of magic, and orbs of green vitriol sizzled on the chains, eating away at them. There was a sound of steel moving, and he turned to see the armored figure cast aside the bloodied corpses of the sailors and draw its sword. "Hey..." he objected. "That's [i]my[/i] sword!" [img]http://www.io.com/~jeffj/b2sep.gif[/img] "What the hells is going on down there?" "Patience, brother. Apparently one of our new acquisitions is some kind of a spellcaster - Demos warned me of his casting." At the mention of its name, the waterlogged head on the table opened its eyes and moaned softly. A thin hand stroked its salt-rimed hair, as if to soothe it back to sleep.
