Night 7/Veneficus/156/Where: Lanayaru City Underground Stronghold/With: Everyone

Veneficus took note of the Mask of Truth split on the two figures faces. After a strange monologue, they disappeared in a puff of black smoke. Veneficus knew at that moment that the magic they were using wasn't ordinary wizard magic. Some of the party's members seemed to turn to Veneficus, as if expecting an explanation of some sort as to what just happened. It wouldn't do any good to worry them more, so Veneficus simply shrugged.
You know, at this point, I don't even know anymore. I just roll with it, ho ho ho!
Guzore chimed in.
Hey, I'm the one who's supposed to roll with it, brother! Hohoho!
Veneficus noticed how Guzore's laugh was typical of many Gorons, yet it bore a striking resemblance to his own laugh. It was almost as if their dialogue stemmed from the same source somehow. After pulling his lantern back up, Veneficus gestured to the group with his hand to follow him down the hallway.
Alrighty then, let's go find the dragon skull!
(I'll move us to the next area once the rest of the people get caught up to this point.)

Journeyman Ferondir of Mira ~ Under Lanayaru City ~ Day 7, Night

Ferondir didn't find much interest in their conversation with the Zora. He turned when he heard the laughter. He watched, an ache growing in that back of his head. When the demons stepped into the light, the dull pain exploded into sharp stabs and he grunted as he fell against the wall. He had a feeling that these creatures were something he shouldn't mess with.
He closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against the wall. He listened.
Their words were clear, yet he didn't understand them.
He looked back to them, but they had disappeared in a cloud of smoke, like that of death.
"There is no way those guys are good news." he muttered.
In any case, he was curious to hear what the master had to say about it, so he turned to him.
At Veneficus's answer, Ferondir shook his head. Veneficus seemed increasingly disappointing. However, he was a master.

Night 7/Veneficus/156/Where: Lanayaru City Underground Stronghold/With: Everyone

Veneficus led the group down some more hallways for awhile. There were a few supposed tombs and occasional skulls and spiderwebs. At last, they entered a large, circular, dome-shaped room with elaborate designs and symbols on the walls and ceiling. There was a small circular window at the very top of the dome, in what seemed like hundreds of feet off the ground, where the moon shone a single beam of light into the room. There were cracked sandstone panels bordering the floor of the room near the walls, with a sloped pit of sand in the center. At the bottom of the pit in the center of the room was a large dragon skull. Veneficus set down his lantern on the ground.
We've found it.
Veneficus took a step forward. A strange, metallic arrow hit the back of his helmet from above and created a blue spark of electricity that shot around his head. He fell to the ground.
...
Pitiful... I expected more from him.
A bordix jumped down from above with a metallic bow in his hand. Just before hitting the ground, a wind spell activated beneath him, creating a small swirl of gust to shield his landing. Guzore looked up from the on-the-ground Veneficus to see the Bordix.
So this is what a Bordix looks like, huh...

[AzuniCatto]

Sapphire saw an arrow hit Veneficus with some sort of electricity. She brought out her shield, aware that it would do nothing against electricity. She also got out her spear, ready to defend herself. A purple man came from the hole in the ceiling, most likely a bordix. She shivered. He was out for trouble, and everyone seemed dumbfounded by his sudden appearance. She hoped someone would do something. She didn't know what to say, so she didn't. She had an idea, though. She could act as a distraction. For Amethyst. She darted to the side, charging at his left. She didn't yell, she tried to look like she was just being foolishly aggressive, since this new person-no, bordix, didn't know she felt like curling up and crying. She hoped her friends caught on. She was ready to dodge or block anything thrown at her.

Night 7/Guzore/20/Where: Lanayaru City Underground Stronghold/With: Everyone

Guzore ran to Veneficus' fallen body and felt his chest for a pulse.
Oh!! I can feel a heartbeat!
Guzore knew that he couldn't give up hope yet. Sapphire ran past Guzore to the side with her shield up. The bordix man began shooting electric beams at her, but they kept missing or hitting her shield. Now was the perfect opportunity to strike. Guzore wasn't a combat-y type of guy though. He looked at Zephyrus and Ferondir, the wizards.
Quick, brothers! One of you, do something!
Guzore waited for one of them to react, but they simply stood there unphased. In fact, the rest of the group was just standing there. It was as if they had grown tired of adventure, apathetic towards getting the next sword, and hopeless towards stopping the Bordix. Guzore looked into their seemingly lifeless eyes and pleaded once again.
Please, someone! Anyone! Just do something, don't stand there!!
The Bordix man laughed.
Foolish Goron! Don't you see that your pitiful cries for help are useless? Us Bordix have been watching you for awhile, and while you've had your occasional streaks of luck, you all lack motivation.
Guzore looked up at the Bordix man, hurt and confused.
I... I don't understand.
Guzore clenched his fist in anger.
That's not true! WE'RE GONNA SAVE HYRULE!!
The Bordix man took Guzore's raised voice as a threat and pulled out a small metal handle from his pocket. From it, a plasma-like purple stream of energy shot out from it in the shape of a spear.
Don't you see what's been happening, Goron? Every one of you petty magicians are after something different, none of you want the same thing. You even went as far to betray and kill each other in that nightmare mindscape we trapped you in!
Guzore paused for a moment. That dream was a trap set by the Bordix? THEY were the ones who caused everyone all of that emotional trauma? Guzore stood up from Veneficus' body, growing angry.
You think it's okay... to put all of my friends in a twisted nightmare like that? You think it's right to sit back and watch innocent people suffer?
The Bordix man chuckled.
You poor, naive, fool... You've known these idiots for less than a week. You think that they're your friends?
Guzore was furious now. He immediately jumped to his feet and ran at the Bordix man yelling, with his fist without thinking about what would happen next.
YOOOOU'RE THE FOOOOOL!!
Standing there in a calm position, the Bordix man threw his spear at Guzore. Upon impact, the spear hit Guzore in the chest, causing him to fly backwards and be pinned up against the wall with magical energy. Panting and gasping for air from anger and confusion, he looked at the spear lodged in his chest in shock. He observed it silently for a few moments before speaking.

The purple blade retracted into the metal handle and returned to the Bordix man. Guzore's body fell to the ground, blood staining the wall behind him. The Bordix man turned to Sapphire and grinned maliciously.

Shinceon

Shinceon seeing this attack raised his trident and casted a large beam of fire at the purple aggressor yelling some chants standing straight.

(WOAH WAT DID GUZORE JUST DIE WAT)

Shiallia - Lanayaru Underground - Everyone?!

Shia glared at the Bordix, knife drawn. He really doesn't know what he's talking about, does he?

THUD.

She stared, irritated thoughts evaporating. "Guzore? He's, uh... Not..." Oooh, nonono. Wow, this isn't happening again. It's just another nightmare. Heh heh... Yeah right. It wasn't until the purple jerk turned toward Sapphire that she took action."Hey! You think you can just kill us and get away with it, huh? Well buddy, hate to break it to ya, but you can't." She cast a scathing glance at the rest of the party. At least Shinceon's helping. "I don't know about my friends here, but I'm going to actually try doing something. You know what? I don't care that I can't stop you. I'm still going to try. Maybe it'll convince someone stronger to do something useful." With that, she sprinted a t him with her knife, confident that she'd fail.

Night 7/Bordix Man/??/Where: Lanayaru City Underground Stronghold/With: Everyone

The Bordix man moved into a less sophisticated posture as he saw Shialia charging at him. He readied his spear, but a large ball of fire hit the magic blade, causing it to flicker and distort in shape. With limited time to make a decision, he jumped to the side to avoid Shialia and her knife. He suddenly felt a cold, stinging wave of pain resonate from his calves and realized that he had forgotten about Sapphire. Her ice spear had cut into the back of his lower legs but frozen the wounds before they could bleed. The Bordix man fell to his knees in pain and saw Shialia coming at him again with her knife. With less than a moment to react, he raised his arm up and uttered a chant, causing a large purple spike to rise out of the ground and block the knife. He continued to raise spikes out of the sand to block Shialia's attacks as the spikes before each one sunk back in.

[Shinceon]

Shinceon Day 7 Underground

As the fight continues, he casts a large continuous beam of fire at the purple man. His eye glowed orange as he uses more powerful spells and use more energy.

Journeyman Ferondir of Mira ~ Under Lanayaru City ~ Day 7, Night

Indifferent? Ferondir had gone on this adventure to reach the next level of his training, and he had. Maybe he was satisfied, content. Ferondir stood, unable to move, watching Guzore take a mortal wound, and his allies attack a creature far beyond their skill.
The thing was playing with them, not even trying, just casually knocking the apprentice's blade aside every time she struck.
Ferondir's apprentice was determined to win, but he could see that she was outmatched by a long shot.
Even having grown up on the street, where fighting meant life. Shia was fighting now, and what kind of Mentor would he be if he didn't back her up?
This bordix man was a trained warrior, who took pride in his skill and speed. He had true joy in his craft.
Ferondir clenched his fist around the Staff of Mira. He'd make that creature fear death.
"Filthy bordix pig." Ferondir found himself muttering. He, himself, wasn't even in Shia's league, helpless in such a fight. No one from Mira Village would have the combat skill for this, but there was something he could do to help.
He drew a hasty circle around himself in the sand, it would slow down any incoming spells, if just by a millisecond. He may have time to block them that way.
He pointed his staff at Shiallia.
"IMPERIUM!" he shouted. A blase of red light shot toward her and enveloped her.
<<<<+3.0 STR>>>>
"DA CELERITATE!"
<<<<+3.0 SPD>>>>
"POTESTATEM!"
<<<<+3.0 DMG>>>>
An orange and then a blue flame enveloped her, fueling and charging her muscles, mind, and senses.
Ferondir colapsed to his knees, he'd taken the energy needed from his own aura. It left him weak and nauseous, but it might give her the edge she needed.
He held out his staff once more, hand shaking.
"Cingo." He whispered. A dart of blue energy connected at the base of Shia's spine. A thin line of blue connected her to him, and his aura flared, pulsating with his heart beat, but growing dimmer, with each beat.
<<<<+0.5 HP/sec>>>>
"Beat him, Shiallia." He whispered. Beat him quickly.
