[QUOTE="Morgaine, post: 212997, member: 2393"] Twelve giant mosquito-birds zoom through the morning air, stingers pointing at Deke’s body. Gemma immediately knocks two arrows and lets them fly at the one closest to the elf. They find their mark perfectly and bury deep into the body of the creature. Unfortunately, the wounds are not fatal, and three of the bloodsuckers bury their probes into his skin. He feels his blood being drawn from his veins. Deke flails helpless at the giant creatures attached to him, managing to knock only one to the ground. Fergus grasps his great sword and dispenses with the other two but not before they drain enough blood to make the elf visibly ashen Morgaine, fervently they hoping they are a magical construct, whips the scroll of [I]dispel magic][/I]from her scroll case and utters aloud the strange words. As she reads the symbols, they burn away the parchment, iridescent smoke rising into a ring above her head. At the final command word, this variegated cloud whisks to the spot she indicates and expands in a brilliant flash. Five of the buzzing creatures disappear into the cloud with a fizzling sound. Xenia and Borin take out one each with crossbow bolts, blood splattering on the ground when they explode then disappear.
