Sarick slithers back into the hall. It is obvious something is wrong with him. He usually wobbles and sways but this time it seems more like a drunken dance. He finds an empty table and flops his upper torso onto it. "...I...hate...time...travel," he states before losing his lunch onto the table. That seemed to help a bit because he spent the next few moments cleaning up himself and the table. He then looked around for Nyx with half closed eyes. "Nyx...what happened in the present and to the assassin?"

I think the battle with Boomingham's new holy powers and the ancient (weak cant actually kill a true Naga :p) magic of the opponent disrupted the time travel spell and we all get sent back to our time. The brothers will need time to figure out how to get their spell to work again so we can all go back to the hall until they get it fixed. Then the brothers can post again when they are ready and see which heroes are available. Thats my idea for the quest. Good luck with your comp, having no working comp really sucks.

Sarick paushes his usual swaying before saying, "Bragging about killing hatchlingsss is demeaning to yourself. I doubt a full grown Naga, let alone dragon, would fall to your weak magic. Lord Boomingham, finish her quickly."

Sarick released the magic energy he was channeling. The electricity arcing through his fingers made them numb. "I am not a fan of this gem. I'll stick with ice and will need to find a way to get rid of it when I get back to the hall." Sarick motioned for the group to huddle up while still keeping an eye on the guards. He addressed the group. "Lord Boomingham, I feel you have quite a bit of energy. Could your angle friend heal yourself, Nerwen and Octavian? I also feel you have the best chance of beating thisss masked stranger in a one on one fight. We are standing by in case he decides to pull a viper's strike." Sarick looked at his teammate's confused faces. "Ah, I mean in case he decidesss to pull a trick of some sort."

Sarick's spell fizzled once again. His cold energy was definitely affected by the time travel. He sighed heavily. Sarick was an ice mage, dropping the temperature around his enemies to slow their reactions and attacks was his strategy. That was the only magic element he liked or wanted to use but he needed a new tactic. Sarick squared his shoulders, puffed out his chest, and grabbed his topaz gem. Sarick attacked Porthiar Guard B from the back row with a lightning spell. Battle Order: Boomingham vs. Head Porthiar Guard Amorith vs. Secondary Porthiar Guard B Sarick vs. Porthiar Guard B Nerwen vs. Octavian Octavian vs. Porthiar Guard C [Front Row] Nyx

"Great attack Octavian. Glad you had that essence Amorith. Impressive healing Nerwen. Nice to have you back up Lord Boomingham." Sarick focuses his energy again to attack Porthiar Guard B from the back row with his frost magic. Battle Order: Boomingham Amorith Sarick Nerwen Octavian Nyx

Sarick whips his tail at the enemy to send them back once again. "That is true Amorith, if you were able to attack all of the enemies at once with your darkness magic then they'd run for saftey. But the time travel has affected all our abilities somehow. None of usss have done major damage yet except Octavian, possibly due to the fact that he has more experience with traveling through time than we do. This time travel effect may cause you to expend magic from a different gem instead. If you revive Lord Boomingham back to consciousness then we'll have his shield once again to rally behind. I believe thisss is our best option."

Sarick sees another one of his party go down under the flurry of blades. "Octavian, if Nyx assistsss us with this battle, will she be able to return immediately after?" Sarick hissed at the guards gathering near Lord Boomingham which caused them to back off for only a moment. "we don't have much time so I'll say this quickly. Octavian will attack the Head Porthiar Guard from the back row. Take him out quickly. I will attack Secondary Guard B from the back row with frost magic. Amorith, I'd like you to revive Lord Boomingham with your Phoenix Essence. Nerwen, I'd like you to heal us all, but focus your heal on Amorith." Battle Order: Octavian vs. Head Porthiar Guard [backrow] Sarick vs. Secondary Guard B [backrow] Nerwen Amorith Boomingham Nyx

"Nice strike Octavian, keep it up." Sarick slithers near Amorith and administers his Phoenix essence. "We are not out of this fight yet. Our next round will be far more successful." Battle Order: Boomingham Sarick - Phoenix Essence to Amorith Amorith Octavian vs Secondary Porthiar Guard Nerwen Nyx

OOC: Ah, I meant that Pandora should control Octavian's actions, during battle, so that she would have something to do in the quest.

I meant control his actions in the battle since someone needs to say what he does while fighting and your character cannot currently participate in the battle.

Sarick feels refreshed from his potion but dismayed at yet another guard entering the fight. "Lord Boomingham, normally I would agree with you if we were escorting a diplomat or merchant but Octavian hasss that sword for a reason. We need everyone to do their part to survive thisss fight." Sarick focuses his energy and attacks Guard B from the back row with an ice spell. Battle Order: Boomingham vs Head Porthiar Guard Amorith Sarick vs Guard B Nerwen Octavian vs Secondary Porthiar Guard Nyx OOC: I would like Nyx to be in charge of controlling Octavian. Sarick pauses for a second from his energy gathering. "I am recovered but could go down once again. In the event that I am knocked unconsciousss, Lord Boomingham will lead the party for the remainder of the battle." Sarick returns to summoning the ice.

OOC: Did you roll a shield or a critcal hit? What is listed is a shield and Nerwen is a cleric. If she gets a shield then she casts a Miracle and heals the whole party for the power of her critical attack at no cost to her ether. After that (unfortunately) Boomingham would be down 10hp to 25/35hp instead of his current listed health of 35/35. Even though this is grim I'm still enjoying the quest. Sarick staggers back from another hit. He has underestimated these guards too much. If Sarick is at 1hp he shall drink a potion. If Sarick is at full health he shall attack guard B from the back row with an ice spell. "Glad you could pitch in Octavian." "It seemsss a little late but maybe you could speak to them Lord Boomingham in a diplomatic manner." Battle Order: Octavian vs Guard C Boomingham Amorith Sarick vs Guard B Nerwen Nyx

OOC: Chromknight has not posted in over 24 hrs. I shall decide Nerwen's battle action. "Nerwen, we have not taken too much damage. Attack Guard A from the back row."

OOC: Nerwen and Sarick should receive only 5 damage since they were standing in the backrow. "Looksss like their techniques are more advanced than I would have thought. How about this strategy. Lord Boomingham and Amorith both attack the Head Porthair Guard. Nerwen attacks Guard A and I attack Guard B. We'll focusss on the most dangerous enemy. I believe Lord Boomingham can shurg off a hit from Guard C." Sarick attacks Guard B with an ice spell from the back row. Battle Order: Boomingham Amorith Sarick Nerwen Nyx

Sarick will attack Guard C from the back row with an ice spell. Battle Order: Boomingham Amorith Sarick Nerwen Nyx

The quickness of the time travel was impressive. The change in coloration did not effect Sarick. In the depths of the ocean, where sunlight has difficulty penetrating, the colors changed often. He slithered out of the boat and addresses the individuals. "I am Sarick and we are heroesss from Heroica Hall," Sarick hoped the hall was still in existence in this time period. "We have been assigned to escort Octavian Ziegfried while he conductsss his research. Please forgive our intrudence." He turned to Octavain, "Do you recognize these two?Possibly relatives? It would be best to introduce yourself."

Sarick listened to everyone's request and thought deeply about it. He did not want to think too long however in case the assassin returned again. He addressed the group. "I wish to be transparent in my role as party leader on thisss quest and with that, here is my reasoning: Lord Boomingham will return to the past and be our rightous shield. We will need hisss strength for whatever we face in the past. Nerwen will return to the past and keep us healthy with her healing waves. We may sustain damage and need her to assist. I, Sarick, will return to the past to continue leading the quest. I would volunteer myself to stay in the present but I do not believe I could withstand the damage from such an advanced killer. Nyx and Amorith, you both eminate great power but I feel there is something different about you Nyx. You contain a power I have not felt before and I believe it will be needed to defeat the killer. Amorith will return to the past. Nyx will stay in the present to guard Ignatious and ensure we are not lost in the past."

Sarick was stunned by the swift entrance, kill, and exit of the assassin. "Ignatious, have you seen that assassin before? Do you have anyone who hasss threatened you recently? Also, how will you know when to return us to the present?" Sarick turns back to the group. "The assassin was quick to enter and kill. I feel we should have someone strong and equally skilled to stay behind to guard Ignatious. I will be traveling to the past. How do the other members feel?"

Sarick slithered forward and said, "I am Sarick Lanse and it is a pleasure to be here. We have come from the hall to guard your persons. Will we be guarding the two of you? Can you tell usss more about the family history you are searching for?"

"Hrm, well its a good thing you're willing to venture into the mine then. Minesss mean lots of minerals, and hopefully some useful Gemsss so you can cast something other than darkness spells."

Sarick was sipping on the strange drink that Guts had gotten him when the older mage came near. He raised his eyes then looked at the newcomer. Sarick narrowed his eyes and slithered around the man rapidly while flicking his tongue out to taste the air. He made sure to never touch him during his inspection. Sarick slithered back a few paces and addressed the mage "Darknessss," he said with slow hiss, "I smell Darkness about you." He gripped his staff tighter. "Why would a 'man of peace' practice dark magic? Do you corrupt the dead with unholy magic? And no, I am not planning on venturing into the mine. I wish to be a bodyguard for my next quest."

Sarick was breathing hard and still in bad shape from the precise stabs of Guts' knife. He looked around and noticed the amount of ice in the pit. He concentrated and removed the ice (at the cost of 1 ether). He then nodded his thanks as the cleric healed him and returned his lost ether. He was about to ask how the cleric did that when Guts spoke. "I enjoyed the match as well. You have tricksss up your sleeve I was not aware of. Drinks sound like a good idea." Sarick slithered off to the Hall.

"It needs to be colder..." stated a bleeding Sarick with a calm expression. He attacked Guts from the back row with an ice spell.

OOC: Unfortunately, I believe guts is at full health. Sarick was taking far too many hits from the rogue and he looked better each round. "I'm lowering the temperature in this arena!" Sarick attacked from the back row with an ice spell.
