Dissent

[ty_tay]

Pallon blushed slightly and glared at the four guys now gaping at them who quickly turned away and looked anywhere else. He returned Rin's smirk with his own. "You cant always expect people to play fair..."

[ScarletFang]

"Very true, lieutenant" Rin giggled again, sprawling her legs out on the earth. Her heart raced. She was usually so calm, but now even the slightest touch of his hand made her heart flutter and her stomach churn.

[ty_tay]

Pallon was certain he had just had a heart attack about what he had just done. He got to his feet still blushing. "Well then, mi lady. Will you accept my apology?" He offered her his hand, but was ready for the chance that she may decide to try and pull him down. in that case he would lean back on his heels and ultimately end up pulling her into his arms.

[ScarletFang]

Rin looked at his outstretched hand skeptically, glancing between it and his eyes before taking hold. She pulled at his hand with all of her weight in one direction, trying to tip him off balance to even the score.

[ty_tay]

Pallon did just as he planned. He pulled her up, but he knew that she would be off balance when forced to her feet so he caught her in his arms before she could fall back down.

In a flash and swirl of fire Nylie vanished leaving nothing but scorch marks where she stood.

Once the flames mostly disappear clapping is heard form inside the last large bit of fire left Fatum walks out and begins to recite a poem: "Once upon a midnight dreary while i pondered weak and weary, thinking over volumes of forgotten lore the fireplace gave quiet the uproar, embers blazed and papers charred my family killed whiled only my hands were mangled and chard my eyes fixed upon a burning ruin i realized something, something was proven, my hand may have been mangled and charred but now they were restored." he stops for a moment "The moral to this slightly bad poem is that fire, flame, and heat are completely useless against me unless you can make sure the fire doesn't die down at all ever."

[ScarletFang]

Rin sat there in his arms, flustered but amused, "This is the most intricate dance I've ever performed". She smiled up at him sheepishly, forgetting about everything for an instant. A few moments passed before she returned to reality and slowly backed out of his hold, still smiling and slightly red.

[ursus.]

Tyr thought this over. "just how strong are they? I'm assuming you've fought them "

Lis frowned slightly, recalling the battle. "I personally haven't fought one, but I did try to shoot an arrow at one. It bounced off of the d***** creature's hide like a pebble." She looked at Tovheir. "Tovheir may have more of an answer, sir Prince."

[ty_tay]

Nylie made no vocal response. Then it's time to change tactics... She mumbled quietly in the arcanic tongue and her sword dulled to pulse with black magic.

Pallon smiled softly at her, "Well you're very good at this..." He blushed slightly, and mentally frowned when she started to pull away. He actually scowled when he heard Mage snicker behind him. He turned and glared at the smaller man with a growl, "You want me to gut punch you again, Julie?"

Mage glared at him and backed away, "mmmm...."

Tyr listened intently and nodded. He looked at Tovheir as well.

Tovheir sighed. "Aparently the creatures scales on its back is pretty much impenterable. The underbelly where its fur is is vulnerable, but only when it stands on its hind legs and walks on two feet. Its eyes and mouth are also vulnrable. I'm not sure how they react to magic. However, thank to Rin, we have discovered that thier teeth can penetrate their scales and they are vulnrable to their own poison."

[ursus.]

Lis nodded. "And that's about as much as we know. Their poison is also simple to treat, but hurts like he** when healing."
