Adium emerges from a portal into Fort Jack, a square-walled fort on a hillside somewhere under the midday sun. Piles of equipment are stashed here and there - arms, armour, talismans, jewelry, corpses both animal and beastial, stacks of stone and wood and glass, and several dimensional rifts cut into the fabric of reality. He rummages through the stores until he comes up with a few golden rings, which he tosses into his mouth and bites down on.

The metal melts between his teeth, releasing a surge of magic. Power floods into his mouth, his chest, his limbs, seeking out the wounds that mar his body and knitting them back together. Bones creak back into place, gashes close as quickly as they were made, burns fade and disappear into pristine skin. By the time the magic fades, Adium feels as though he was forty years younger.


Damian focuses and bends his will towards the howling blizzard that engulfs the battlefield. Merely maintaining it in its current form takes incredible concentration, but with a superhuman feat of willpower he draws it inwards, focusing the wrath of the storm into a region barely wider than the hill itself. Screaming wind scours the field, and hailstones the size of Damian's head leave craters where they strike the ground.


Phet takes the Broken Soul off her neck and tosses it into the knapsack. She reaches her hand in after it, retrieving a fistful of shadow. A flick of the wrist unfolds an impossibly thin garment of woven shadow which she throws around her skeletal shoulders. Hefting the chain-sickle, haft in one hand and coiled chain in the other, she steps out of Keli's shelter.

Immediately she feels the wrath of the blizzard which threatens to drag her off her feet. She fights the wind, wading through chest-deep water towards the unsuspecting dragon. Through the haze of steam and snow, nothing can be seen of the undead mage but a faint shadow at the edge of perception.

By the time Phet stands, hurling the chain-sickle towards Enkavma, it's much too late to respond in any meaninful fashion. The chain responds to her mental commands, tangling itself around one of the dragon's golden wings. A yellow glyph glows on the haft of the weapon, and a loud hissing noise issues from the chain as the acid rune begins to eat through flesh and scale. (-1 Vitality)


Katherine reaches into her pocket and takes out the Blooded Coin. A rune is carved onto each side, one of which glows bright scarlet. She flips the coin over and touches the other rune, to which the scarlet glow transfers. Power surges into her mind, and she puts the coin away. Ialhrethnia'a, the bow of the first Magi, trembles in her hands as she sets arrow to string. Katherine draws, the effort as much mental as physical. A red crystal arrow glints with light as she levels it towards Enkavma.

She looses the arrow. A ray of crimson splits the battlefield, a streak of blood and crystal closing the gap between the shooter and the dragon. The arrow strikes true, impacting just between Enkavma's eyes.

The dragon screeches in pain as a shockwave ripples outwards from the force of impact, carrying with it a thousand shards of bloody crystal. So powerful are the shards that they strike through Enkavma's armour, shattering even its thickest scales. (-5 Vitality)


Jack cuts the air with Shattered Eternities, ripping open a portal. Forks of lightning lash out from the portal to the sound of rumbling thunder, sending electricity coursing through the water and into Enkavma's legs. Protected within the earthen shelter, he just manages to avoid being shocked himself. (-3 Vitality)

He follows this attack by reaching into his pack and retrieving a glass orb. Within the orb, a coiled green vine glows with electricity. He winds back and tosses the vine towards Enkavma, but the orb misses its mark. It splashes down into the water nearby without shattering, rapidly sinking to the bottom. Finally, he leaps from the shelter and rushes towards the dragon as fast as the water will allow him. He weaves between stomping feet and slashing claws to touch one of the dragon's legs. His hand glows with a gray-white light, and a rune forms on the beast's scales. Though the dragon doesn't appear to be harmed by this, it is unable to pursue Jack as he escapes back to the safety of their shelter.


Two pillars of white-hot light plunge from the sky, impacting the stormclouds with hisses and booms. Neither manage to penetrate the combination of Damian's blizzard and Jack's magical forcefield.

Enkavma exhales a torrent of fire, covering the battlefield in a blazing inferno and vaporizing the top layer of water. The flames streak past the party's shelter, dropping dirt on their heads but failing to cause any real damage.

Quick question, will this RP discontinue when it is completed or will it restart once these characters defeat the dragon?

Seriously, I have no idea if any RP has reached a win state on this forum.

Quote from: DeepFriedBaconQuick question, will this RP discontinue when it is completed or will it restart once these characters defeat the dragon?

The game will end when the final boss is defeated. The dragon is only the penultimate boss though.

Quote from: \//Seriously, I have no idea if any RP has reached a win state on this forum.

Never happened, at least as far as I'm aware.

Damian keeps an eye on the rest of the group, hoping that nobody's in immediate need of emergency teleportation. After making sure everyone's okay, he takes the crystal mace and aims for the dragon's head.

Adium makes a snake figurine and uses it to restrain the dragon's head.

Where did anybody go? Maybe I only have to do something before endgame...

I sitting under the shelter however I decide to meditate, concentrating to try to make the shelter have a spiky shield from my conjuring abilities and it can also shoot spikes when if the shelter's attacked.

Only emptiness has consumed this thread.
