Sarick turned from his opponents and slithered between Skrall and a rogue. "I'll see what I can do. Watch my back so I don't get hit in it," said Sarick. Sarick then blasted the stairs north of him with layers of ice.

Sarick somehow missed the first guard and hit a different one. He changed his assault to Imperial Guard E from the back row with frost magic. Sarick sent another message to Vipera saying, "Instruct Flavius to stand his ground and attack Rogue Lion Commander A from the backrow. He can damage one enemy at least before he loses his flight."

Sarick watched the enemies file through the doorway and attacked Imperial Guard A from the back row with frost magic. While the magic was charging, Sarick sent a message to Vipera saying, "Instruct Flavius to fly down the Western stairs. With his agility, he will only be struck by one opponent. After the team arrives up the stairs he can join them on the next term once he has had a moment to rest."

Sarick brings his mana forth and stands his ground.

Sarick divvied up the items from the team's previous battle: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=68777&view=findpost&p=1345506 and prepared to meet the traitor emperor.

Sarick waited as long as he could for the team to respond but the battle was about to begin. He handed: The Precision Bow to Xander, A Tonic and 21 Gold to Cronk, 46 Gold to De'kra, 46 Gold to Galen, 46 Gold Nerwen, and Sarick kept a Tonic and 21 Gold for himself.

Sarick listened to the flurry of activity before saying "Does anyone else from our group have an interest in the bow? Once I have your answers I will divvy up the loot." He then turned to Skrall and said "I am fine with your position as Ultimate Party Leader, as long as I am one of the heroes on the team to take out the traitor. That seems to be the current plan."

Sarick was frustrated that his burst of magic was negligent against the huddled guards. He called forth the magic again to attack Imperial Guard C from the back row with frost magic. "Flavius, keep attacking Imperial Guard D from the back row," said Sarick. Battle Order: -------------------- Cronk vs. Imperial Guard C Xander vs. >De'kra vs. Galen vs. Nerwen vs. >Denerii vs. >Flavius vs. Imperial Guard D >Sarick vs. Imperial Guard C

Sarick called forth the magic again to attack Imperial Guard C from the back row with frost magic. "Flavius, keep attacking Imperial Guard D from the back row," said Sarick. Battle Order: -------------------- Cronk vs. Heavy Elite Guard Xander vs. >De'kra vs. Galen vs. Heavy Elite Guard Nerwen vs. Imperial Guard C >Denerii vs. Heavy Elite Guard >Flavius vs. Imperial Guard D >Sarick vs. Imperial Guard C

Sarick called forth the magic again to attack Heavy Elite Guard from the back row with frost magic. "Flavius, take out the Heavy Elite Guard from the back row," said Sarick. Battle Order: -------------------- Cronk Xander >De'kra Galen >Nerwen >Denerii >Flavius vs. Heavy Elite Guard >Sarick vs. Heavy Elite Guard

Sarick was taken aback by the sudden gust of wind. He still was not used to the sensation of magic other than ice. Dragon Heart Sword: "You're a mage. Get used to the elements. And stop playing around, defeat these lackies and get on to taking down that traitor." Sarick called forth the magic again to attack Imperial Guard C from the back row with frost magic. "Flavius, shack it off and keep attacking Imperial Guard D from the back row," said Sarick. Battle Order: -------------------- Cronk vs. Heavy Elite Guard Xander vs. Imperial Guard A >De'kra vs. Imperial Guard B Galen vs. Heavy Elite Guard >Nerwen >Denerii >Flavius vs. Imperial Guard D >Sarick vs. Imperial Guard C

Sarick began to attack Imperial Guard C from the back row with frost magic. "Flavius, send your arrows toward Imperial Guard D again from the back row," said Sarick. "Excellent use of your powersss Nerwen." Battle Order: -------------------- Cronk vs. Elite Archer Xander vs. Imperial Guard A >De'kra vs. Imperial Guard B Galen vs. Heavy Elite Guard >Nerwen >Denerii >Flavius vs. Imperial Guard D >Sarick vs. Imperial Guard C

Sarick switched his assault to Elite Archer from the back row with frost magic. "Flavius, lets focus on the Elite Archer, show him how a true archer firesss from the back row," said Sarick. Battle Order: -------------------- >Cronk heals Cronk >Denerii vs. Elite Archer >De'kra vs. Elite Archer Galen vs. Heavy Elite Guard >Flavius vs. Elite Archer >Nerwen heals Xander Xander >Sarick vs. Elite Archer "Nerwen, I could use some of your healing next."

Sarick was deep in concentration to call forth the magic energy but he noted Nerwen's request. Battle Order: -------------------- >Cronk heals Galen >Denerii Nerwen >De'kra vs. Imperial Guard B >Flavius vs. Imperial Guard D >Sarick vs. Imperial Guard A Xander >Galen

The archer still proved elusive but even he couldn't dodge a snow storm of icy shards. Seeing De'kra charge at the Imperial Guard B, Sarick switched his assault to Imperial Guard A from the back row with frost magic. "Flavius, continue your attacks against Imperial Guard D from the back row." said Sarick. Battle Order: -------------------- >Cronk heals Galen >Denerii >De'kra vs. Imperial Guard B >Flavius vs. Imperial Guard D Nerwen >Sarick vs. Imperial Guard A Xander >Galen

The falling arrows broke Sarick's concentration, forcing him to miss his target. Sarick continued his assault on Imperial Guard B from the back row with frost magic. "Flavius, continue your attacksss against Imperial Guard D from the back row but also, I'll need you up front for a bit." said Sarick. "Galen, if I fall during thisss battle, lead our team to victory until I regain consciousness. Cronk, deal some devastating damage to that archer. De'kra, if those arrows fall from the sky again, I don't know if you'll be able to finish drinking before they rip our scalesss." Battle Order: -------------------- Cronk >Denerii >Flavius vs. Imperial Guard D >Galen Nerwen Xander >Sarick vs. Imperial Guard B >De'kra drinks Potion

Sarick switched his focus again to attack Imperial Guard B from the back row with frost magic. "Flavius, continue your attacks against Imperial Guard D from the back row." said Sarick. Battle Order: -------------------- Cronk vs. Elite Archer >De'kra Nerwen >Denerii Xander >Sarick vs. Imperial Guard B >Flavius vs. Imperial Guard D >Galen

The guards had started off afraid, but even with the damage the team had dealt, they seemed excited about their next attack. Sarick switched his focus to attack the Imperial Mage B from the back row with frost magic. "Flavius, continue your attacks against Imperial Guard D from the back row." said Sarick. Battle Order: -------------------- Cronk >De'kra vs. Imperial Guard A Nerwen >Denerii >Galen vs. Heavy Elite Guard >Sarick vs. Imperial Mage B >Flavius vs. Imperial Guard D Xander

OOC: I've got to get off work as well before I can make posts. Sarick greeted the Rito with a nod. Sarick then attacked the Imperial Guard C from the back row with frost magic. "Flavius, take out that Imperial Guard D from the front row." directed Sarick. Battle Order: -------------------- Cronk vs. Elite Archer >De'kra vs. Imperial Guard A Nerwen vs. Imperial Mage A >Denerii vs. Imperial Mage A Galen vs. Heavy Elite Guard >Sarick vs. Imperial Guard C Flavius vs. Imperial Guard D Xander vs. Imperial Guard B "Under the sea we do not stop to ask our foes namesss. We refer to them as Big Fish, Bigger Fish and Biggest Fish. Sometimes Red Fish, Blue Fish, One Fish or Two Fish," said Sarick.

Sarick noticed the guards taking a defensive position after their skirmish. They moved farther away so Sarick attacked the Heavy Elite Guard from the back row with frost magic. "They will all soon fall and we will continue on with our mission." Battle Order: -------------------- Cronk vs. Elite Archer De'kra >Nerwen heals Xander Galen vs. Imperial Mage B >Sarick vs. Heavy Elite Guard Xander vs. Imperial Mage A

Sarick had hoped more of the guards would have left the area to defend the breach. He noticed their nervous smiles and took some comfort in that at least. Sarick attacked the Imperial Guard A from the back row with frost magic. "Stick with your target Cronk, that archer's bow looksss deadly. Xander, can you take out that Heavy Elite Guard?" Battle Order: -------------------- Cronk vs. Elite Archer Xander De'kra vs. Imperial Guard B Galen vs. Imperial Mage B Nerwen vs. Imperial Mage A Sarick vs. Imperial Guard A

Sarick thought things over before saying "Not knowing the area or having a map will make thisss difficult but acting quickly is needed today. Flavius and Denerii, take this Fire Bomb and any other bombs offered to you by the others in this group. There are three doors facing east. I want the two of you to drop your bombs on the northern most door, I've marked it as an 'X'. The rest of us will charge through the southern most door, I've marked it with a 'T'." Sarick gathered some nearby stones to make a pattern... [] - Door North Door [X] Middle Door [] South Door [T] "Once you have gathered enough guards to your location, fly south and through the southern door to rejoin us inside. Even with many guards distracted, we will probably still be engrossed in a battle."

Sarick hands the Winged Helmet to Nerwen and continues to scan the area as he waits for the other heroes' opinions.

OOC: I haven't forgotten about the helmet Jim. Sarick is not wearing it and he offered it to those who participated in the battle but no one responded. Sarick listened to the ideas before responding. "I do not like the idea of splitting up the team. The use of bombsss as a distraction is a good idea, as is utilizing the Rito. I would suggest they drop the bombs in a location away from us to cause the distraction while we enter in a different location. With their ability to fly, they will be able to quickly join usss. What do the othersss think?" Dragon Heart Sword "Do not be a coward. Charge the main gate and slay the enemies of Constance!"

Sarick listend to the statements before saying "Do you know a way to get into Roland's wing undetected? Where would he most likely be hiding inside? Any surprise defensesss that you know about that we can look out for?"
