[QUOTE="Majin, post: 2823918, member: 13265"] For what seemed like hours the battle raged on, waves of gale force hitting Calenthang's back as he stood, locked in mortal embrace with the dying hag. The continued swaths and beatings of the large fungus creature penetrated the water with wild abandon. The hag would not let go of the elf's sword. As if by some otherworldly bound she was attached to it. A dark, withered hand stretched out past the fighter, towards the battle beyond, a low voice in a gutteral language foreign to him sliding past her lips to mix with dripping blood. It was then that all the chaos of the nine hells combined broke loose. The rumbling at Broddy's side quickly became more violent, shaking the small gnome in the water where he floated. Blows and arrows from the weapons of all present and within range mutilated the fungus creature in rapid succession. The hag collapsed further, pulling Calenthang to one knee with her. The golem lurched forward, falling forward towards the surface of the water. Broddy looked down at his side, shocked as the strange book in his possession wrested itself from his person and began to glow before it opened fiercely, floating in mid-air. The fungus creature made contact with the water at that moment, sending the largest wave yet out in all directions, washing everyone away in its onslaught as the book's light grew to blinding proportions. The gnome was forced to shut his eyes as he was helplessly pulled under the surface of the water by the large wave. Others were slammed into the walls by the waves and some were pulled under like the gnomish mage. Fighting desperately to resurface himself Broddy's eyes widen with terror as his head breaks the waterline. Everyone recovers enough in time to witness what happens next. The likes of Drogo, Sarlis and Ayden orbiting the book's glow in a dizzying cyclone as they are quickly sucked into the void. A heightened sense of sound is imbued within you at the shock of what has just happened, enabling you to pick out each sound in the now quiet chamber. The rythmic bobbing of the water, which has begun to settle. The echoing screams of your now absent companions ring in your ears, accompanied by the rapid clatter and splash of their belongings as each hits the surface of the water, floating or sinking, depending on the weight of each object. The normally happy-go-lucky attitude of the gnome is shattered in that instance, as he recognizes what must of happened. The portal must only accept organic matter. Thus, if they were even still alive, his companions were now naked and unarmed wherever that void had taken them. Then his eyes lower to the book floating in the center of the subsiding chaos. [i]His[/i] book... [sblock]Well there we have it. Cleaning up some loose ends, you guys have levelled and as an added bonus, however morbid it may be, have the equipment from those three to split amongst yourselves. ;)[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
