The Slayers Quest

[Ebiris]

Seeing the jet of flame approaching him from the large dragon, Gourry abandons his fight with the bandit leader, and charges towards 'Roy', hoping that the flames will overshoot him as he does so...

[Asrana]

Caelena smiled almost cheerily at the bandits, holding her hands forth as she recited the spell under her breath, a spear of blazing fire forming between them.

"Vice Flare!" she called, loosing the jet of flame.

[Corwin]

Sparing a glance at the girl and her spell, Lina walks towards the frightened waitress and digs her out of the rubble again, sighing and slapping her lightly across the cheeks.

[thepanda]

"Dil Brand!" Amelia shouts, blasting the annoying doer-O-evil to the heavens.

[Merc]

Caelena's Vice Flare takes out all of the remaining bandits, their pained screams being heard even outside as their lives are sunffed out. Their leader's scream joins them, though not from pain, but rather surprise, as he's launched high into the sky by Amelia's spell. "ROY!!!" he shouts in fear, causing the dragon to stop its attempted attack on Gourry to flap its wings and fly into the sky, catching its master on its neck.

As Lina brings the waitress out of her shell of shock, the waitress screams at the flying dragon, pointing at it while babbling about how they were all going to die.

[Corwin]

Lina sighs again. "How much will ridding you of your dragon infestation be worth to you?" she asks the waitress. "On top of the free meal, of course."

[Merc]

"...I...I don't have any money to give you!" she cries out, tears streaming down her eyes.

"PLEASE! YOU HAVE TO HELP!!!" she screams shrilly, grabbing Lina by the shoulders and shaking. "I'LL PAY FOR YOUR DINNER! IT'S THE DAMN BEST I CAN GIVE! PLEASE!!!!"

ooc: You know, you really should have gone hunting for the town elder or something if you wanted money >_>;

[Corwin]

Lina sighs for the third time that day. "Don't worry, it won't eat you," she reassures the waitress. "Dragons are cowards. They never come near people for some reason, from personal experience."

Leaving the girl, she walks over to where the exhausted guy who entered the tavern just before it was destroyed, stepping on Zelgadis on her way. "Maybe you could get someone who can pay for dragon extermination?" she suggests to the waitress in a calm voice. "It won't be professional of me to take your own money."

'Besides, you can't afford it,' she thinks sadly, shaking the exhausted man awake.

[thepanda]

Amelia runs back into the building, keeping an eye on the terror from the sky.

"Miss Lina, do something!"

[Corwin]

Lina keeps on shaking the guy, and rolls her eyes at Amelia's panic mode.

[Merc]

Kizel groans as he's shook awake. He's still low on blood, but he's conscious again. "I'm...alive?" he mutters.

A dragon's roar sounds in the sky, bringing everything that's happened to him back to the forefront. The map. Running away. Being hunted. Lina Inverse...

Realizing who shook him awake, he grabs her arms as he sits up straight. "YOU! YOU HAVE TO SAVE ME FROM HIM! I'LL PAY ANYTHING!"

What better to save an ex-bandit from other bandits than a bandit killer, after all? Besides, he needed her help with the map. Right now, he could offer her all the money from his former comrades, that money was worthless to him. Only the map and its treasure mattered.

[Corwin]

"All right!" Lina exclaims, dropping the guy back on the floor. Laughing maniacally to herself, she brings her arms in front of her, chanting, "Lord of the Darkness and the Four Worlds, I call upon you, grant me all the power that you possess!"

[Asrana]

Caelena sighed at the panicking stranger, picking her way back towards where she'd been sitting.

Carefully, she started digging her 'sister' out from the rubble, inspecting the younger woman for injuries and building something of a makeshift wall between them and the enemy of all who lives.

[thepanda]

A shiver of cold terror flashes through Amelia's spine. Bad, this was baaaad. Leaping to the tallest pillar behind Lina Amelia pulls out a bullhorn and starts shouting evacuation orders.

[Ebiris]

Hearing Amelia's evacuation orders, Gourry feels a moment of pity for the bandit and his pet dragon.

The moment passes, and the swordsman hides behind some of the rubble from the house that 'Roy' crushed earlier.
