@All: I think that was long enough a break. Personnally, I want to finish this...

*****

Calahan, having chased Thryn a few feet, and near a small desert pond, lets a powerful swing loose. Raising the Halberd over his head, and then striking it down, hitting nothing but the water. As his weapon hits the liquid, a bit of it splash's into his face, blinding him for a moment. He takes a step back, almost stepping over Thyrn's waiting blade.

*****

Thryn, whose plan had worked perfectly, stood behind Calahan, waiting to send his sword through the fighters back. He prepped his sword arm, ready for the ayyack, waiting for Calahan to come withen striking distance...

*****

Xandax xharged at the Shadow Theif directly in front of him, sending a small cloud of dust in his wake. The man was quite skilled with the blade, and parried Xandax's attack. Unfalterenly, Xandax continued his attack, sending his blade in an arc from his mid-section. The Thief dropped his blade to defend himself, sending his partners a quick glance to ensure they were closing in on Xandax.

Xandax, having blade blocked a second time, brought his knee up towards his oppenants gut. winding the theif. He then drew his blade back, and jabbed it fiercly into the mans throat. While doing this, one of the remaining theives had snuck up on Xandax, wielding a small, poisin tipped dagger. The man drove it readily into Xandax, whose armour just barely protected his vital areas.

Xandax felt the blade sink into his skin, just below his rib cage, and he felt the burning sensation of the poisin. He turned to meet his new attacks, who had now encompassed him, and were ready to attack...

*****

Magus, stepping over the corpse, quietly found his next target, another Pit fiend. He raises his hand, and without breaking a sweat, five glowing orbs emit from his fingers, and shoot out towards the creature. As each one hits, the Fiend shrugs them off. Magus had no intention of the Magic Missile's to do any harm, just to get the Fiend's attention. The Pit Fiend responded, violently. It charged towards the mage, who had already prepped his next spell.

The Fiend came to a screeching halt as he saw Magus vanish through a Shadow Door. It looked about for moment, it's last. From the back of it's head, it felt a searing pain before it felt nothing at all. Magus re-appeared behind the creature, a grim look on his face. The death that had been wrought from Magus's one finger had sent the creature to it's after life, with ease.

Nope - boring

[Aegis]

Well, win some lose some. Shall we continue the story?

[Craig]

[Xandax]

The blade found the way into the flesh. Xandax felt instantly the effects of the poison.
Assessing the situation Xandax found himself almost surrounded by the thieves. 1 on his left, and the other 2 in front of him.
How he hated thieves and their use of dishonourable means.
Taking a couple of steps backwards until his back hit some large stones Xanax bought just enough time to canalise his strengths and entered his Enraged state. Not feeling the poisons immediately effect anymore – he still knew that it was doing damage within. His shield, “Curator” glowed silently red, passing on its resistance towards poison to Xandax.
Xandax, empowered by his enrage bonus’, slowly walked towards the 2 thieves infront of him, while nonchalantly rotated his weapon hand, so his sword made small circles in the air.
The thieves not expecting this back up a few steps, looking nervously at each other.
“To the Death” Xandax shouted his battle cry and turned to his left and charged the single thief that now was isolated by a few feet from his companions. That spelt his doom as Xandax almost cleaved him in two with a powerful downwards slash with his sword. Quickly drawing his sword out of the body of the thief, Xandax parried a blow from one of the other thieves with his shield, and a rotation movement to the left with his torso caused the other thief’ blow to glide of his armour.
Xandax slided down so sitting on his knees, span his torso back to the right, following through with his sword. The blow cut of the right leg of the first thief. The man fell down screaming. And fought with all his strength to crawl away. Leaving the man for dead, Xandax concentrated on the last thief wich were lunging out towards Xandax proned status. Still under the effect of his enrage, Xandax, not feeling the full weight of his amour, almost jumped back into a standing position, thereby avoiding the mans lunge.
“Do you want to die by my hand, or take your chance with the rest of the Shadow Thieves?” Xandax asked the last man, feeling on top of the situation.
Xandax didn’t get an answer, as the last thief turned around and ran away.
“Didn’t think so.” Xandax thought.

Xandax quickly cot himself under control again, trying to find out what had happen to Calahan and Thryn.

Ok, I'm finally back. I'll try to get an update in tomorrow. I've still got to finish the summer reading for school I've been putting off

Don't worry. I've done a little bit for this, but nothing major. Craig and Xan seem to have dissappeared for the time being, but maybe we can find them. Take your time on posting though, no rush. Welcome back.

[Craig]

Now all we need is Xan, and we can continue!

**Chapet Six (Seven on the site) Is now up on Fanfiction.net . It's one of the shorter ones, but is made up of the seperating of the group. **

Welcome back Magus

Well, I believe we left off with Craig and Xan in the canyon, Magus in Limbo (?) with the Djinni, and myself setting out to infiltrate the Black Helm (And make contact with Xan.)
