Io's Labyrinth

[Anastasia]

And hold that horse one moment, elemental is up. Dur.

Meanwhile Oberuth blocks the elemental's attacks, the two defending as...

Now Moore.

[Nephrite]

"You've almost got it!" Moore shouts.

He doesn't really have much to do here, so he'll hold again.

Meanwhile Oberuth and the elemental keep each other busy, defending and blocking, neither getting an advantage as Antenora hovers where she is. She extends her hand out, a strike of flames comign from above, scorching elemental and dragon alike.

The divine flames strike both of them, perhaps a little more harm as both are burning, both already hurt as...

Seira.

[Corwin]

Seira's been having such a great time exploding that she doesn't stop now!

The barrage of flames strikes true - and before your eyes as Brass is scorcehd by goldenfire, the breath weapon made manifest explodes, bursting out in golden flames. "Now!" Jetina calls, taking the chance right off, rushing the dazed and now unguarded dragon.

<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 93 > [d8=6]

With the wyrm dazed and its guardian gone, Jetina is able to lunge in and hack through the scales, drawing blood at last, deep slashes coming home. "In Raziel's name, it's vulnerable. Strike now!"

Alicia.

No more guardian elemental means Alicia can go wild with slicing up the unfortunately dazed dragon!

[Anastasia]

With one mighty swing Alicia cleaves the dragon in two, a soft cry as it vanishes, victory here.

A moment later you hear the dragon's chuckle, "You're as strong as I thought, you're owed a reward." The sound of hands clapping together, "I may not have a body right now, but I can still teach one of you how to speak better."

Free act.

[Corwin]

"Speak better?"

[Anastasia]

"Ah, speak better, speak clearer, speak more forcefully," Brass explains, "Why, I'm a master of talking if nothing else, am I not, because I think that is as obvious as that sword of Alicia's really hurts!"

[Ebiris]

"Thank you, I try," Alicia says, shrinking to normal size and giving her sword a little spin. "Only one of us, though? Well I have faith in my diction so if anyone else wants to..." she demurs for the rest of the party.

"I can already speak well enough, I think." Moore says. "I don't mind deferring to someone else."

[Anastasia]

Oberuth shakes his head, "I can speak well enough."

"I may be interested. How we inspire others comes from our words as mucha s our deeds," Antenora steps forward, "Is anyone else interested?"

"I'm not," Amaryl says, "Well, actually, maybe?"

Jetina glances at Moore, an unspoken question.

[Corwin]

"Same here. Interested, I mean," Seira voices, never one to toss aside an offer of help!

[Anastasia]

"Shall we draw lots for it?" Antenora suggests, "Or shall we argue over it?" She comes forward.

Jetina does as well, "Then I'm interested as well. That's four of us."

"An unfortunate number," Antenora murmurs, looking to Jetina, "Well, Seira, how shall we choose? I defer to you on this."
