[QUOTE="Nephtys, post: 3968166, member: 31780"] As the deep thunder of duergar alarm bells begin to toll beyond the gates Canthan stands ready to face whatever comes forth. Trough an arrowslit above the gates (15 ft off the ground) he can see shapes moving in the deep shadows. The elven spellcaster backs away from her assailant, a torrent of arcane syllables flowing from her lips. She finishes her tirade by opening her fist and suddenly a solid acidious fog covers the combatants, glowing with refracted moonlight, starting beyond the breached wall of stone and ending just inches from her self and her sister. Aeryk and Canthan are safely outside the area of the spell, but the others suffer the effects, though Kaj barely notices the searing acid. (Big -5 hp, Mystic -3 hp, William -8 hp, Ysande -7 hp) Mystic, his sight blocked beyond a few feet by the fog that burns at his vulnerable eyes, fails to spot his target and instead turns his powers against the young maiden. As he begins to incant his spell her blade once again pierces his flesh (-9 hp), but the distraction is not nearly enough to stop him. Her eyes go wide as the spell strikes trough her impressive fortitude, then her mouth too widens. She slowly grows thicker and shorter, her skin turns a filthy greenish brown and with a single horrified croak and an audible pop of inrushing air she suddenly seems to vanish. Looking down Mystic can see the blurred outlines of something tiny and panicked where she once stood. (Y Sister polymorphed) Smiling happily to himself he takes one step forwards and crushes the tiny aminal underfoot as he emerges from the fog. (Y sister dead) William, caught deep within the fog, can do nothing but struggle against its sour embrace. Everything beyond a few feet is completely obscured and even the sounds of the battle seem muted and distant. He takes two step forwards in air as thick as the desert sands of his distant home, but that is all. (5ft move) Big grins, even as the molasses-like fog eats away at his skin, and takes a long slow step to the edge of the mist where he swings his cruel axe twise, bringing the spellcaster almost to the edge of death (O sister -42 HP) Kaj sneers, disappointed that his foe was already defeated, and steps slowly out of the fog. He can hear the older elf cry out under Big's assault, but with the edges of the spell blocking his sight he can do nothing to aid in her defeat, for now. The charmed guard frowns as his new friend vanishes in the fog and turns his gaze at Canthan. He knew that one was still an enemy, an impersonator and infiltrator, a threat. Shaking his head against his contradictory feelings he cries out a feeble elven war-cry and charges Canthan. Canthan, sensing that expending a wall of stone on an enemy of this caliber would be a misuse of his resources, merely tries to dodge the attack. His overconfidence is payed for in blood as the guards blade strikes deep into his shoulder.
