The Siege of the Doomcasters Stronghold (IC)

[Angder]

Grunan exits through the shield, grabs his staff, and heads off to do... 'Gaurd duty' He could not believe it... and it also scared him, if Grunan could be wasted on such stupidity, who was further up the ladder? how strong were the Wizards further up?!

[Zarconite]

*Al's weapons were all neatly laid out on a piece of protective foam* *The guard patrol of the two heavily armored warriors walked past* *The outer fortress was still alive with construction workers*

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

*Al picks up all his knives and straps them to his belt. He places his scroll on the back of his kimono, as well as his glaive-erang. He also puts his two blades in their appropriate spots on his belt before heading off to his station* Al: This place is fairly work in progress. If I manage to catch them off guard, I could probably do some serious damage. No... That would get me killed. I need to wait until I can do something without getting caught... For now, you work for them.

[Angder]

Grunan heads onto the walls, and heads for an outer tower, it was empty apart from him from up here his powerful magic could decimate attackers, It would also give him somewhere calm to rest, and to trance...

He sits down, and shuts his eyes... drifting off to a far off world...

Plane of dreams

A Strange bird, a snake with wings, flies across the ever-changing landscape, Towards one small bastion of sanity... a small wooden cabin that defies the rest of the world, small, pleasant, inside is a female fox, cuffed, and blindfolded. The snake seems to transform, becoming a version of Grunan with Crow wings... he opens the front door, and walks in... "Sophia? I... need to talk to you..." he leans down and removes the blindfold.

((got permission from Zarc to do this BTW))

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

*Al took a seat at his station. He was inside the inner area, fairly close to the construction. He closed his eyes and began thinking* Al: I wonder how the girls are doing... and my little boy... Mitts.... I hope they're all safe... Knowing Debra though... Heh... *Al chuckled lightly with his eyes closed* They're probably up to no good whatsoever... Apple doesn't fall far from the tree... ey, dad?

[Zarconite]

Sophia - h..huh..??
w..who are you.. where.. is Seth?

[Angder]

"Dead" Grunan states. "there was nothing I could do, I took a huge risk saving you... I am Grunan, I am the person who was told to murder you..." Grunan lifts the fox onto her feet. he then grabs the cuffs, and tries to break them. Swearing he realizes he can't. "Damn... Give me a second..." he moves over to the fireplace and grabs a firepoker.

The lodge is small, with only one (fairly large) room acting as bedroom, and kitchen. Grunan grabs the cuffs, and forces them apart with the poker.

[Zarconite]

Sophia - d...dead..?
s..seth!
*she burst into tears*

*It was clear that she wasn't a fighter and possessed no powers*

[Angder]

grunan sighs. "I am sorry. I... I know you were betraying the 'boss'... I need to know if you knew anything I could use against him."

[Zarconite]

Sophia - I.. I wasn't.. s..seth was though.. he pr..promised that we.. would move away to somewhere nice..
b..but he got caught..

[Angder]

"But you must know something... Surely." Grunan sighs... "If not I guess I still have something I need you to do... do you know a nucleon blitz?"

[Zarconite]

Sophia - N..no.. seth.. didn't say much to me..
I.. I've never heard of him

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

*Al began juggling all nine of his knives as he sat, drawing quite a bit of attention unintentionally*

[Angder]

Grunan swears under his breath. "Damn... well... I have something I want you to do..." Grunan grabs some chalk and starts drawing on the floor. "I need you to deliver a message for me... Do you know of the~" Grunan names the inn Nucleon had started the group in. "And to tell them Grunan and Al are in..."

"The portal will take you anywhere you imagine clearly enough... but you MUST go through quickly... unless you want to be scattered across everywhere you have ever been..."

Grunan starts chanting... it takes about a minute for the portal to open... "Nucleon blitz... Tell him Grunan and Al are in, and undercover, then VANISH. DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE SEEN OR WE BOTH DIE." Grunan states. Grunan shuts his eyes.

In the real world, his arm and face began to smolder slightly, opening the portal was taking its toll...

[Zarconite]

Sophia - ..y..yes.. o..okay.. I'll try to do..
*she imagined the inn then slowly stepped through the portal*
