Dragon Age (recruiting again, started)

[Darth Caelum]

Allister looked at the Slope they were currently on, then the Nearest Cliff to the Darkspawn. The Builder made some quick calculations for him and The Saint deliberated on the Possible damage. Allister looked up at the Warden and smiled

"How Big do you want it?"

 

[DragonofDecay86]

"As big as you can make it without hurting yourself." Jason said, noticing a very large shadow down at the bottom of the cliff, a shadow that was climbing faster than any of the others.

"And quickly if you could." Jason said.

 

[Darth Caelum]

"Right."

The Bloodmage summoned his Magical Energies, Summoning and Twisting the powers if the Fade to his Will. He had decided to use his Blood as a Last Resort, and he had something in mind for that later.

Eventually, it was ready, and the Bloodmage said "Whenever your ready, tell me when to Blow It."

 

[Sir Strange Of The House Lycan]

At being told about the darkspawn,Sevink launched a foot vertically before running behind a rock while letting out a string of "Shit",before buckling what he could on what he could over his robe,emerging wearing,greaves,gaunlets,boots,arm armor and cuirass.He smile and retrieved his sword from the ground,running his finger over the word "Forever in Arms".
I never though that motto would reflect me so much.
He rushed over to the stamp out the fire.

 

[DragonofDecay86]

"Now..." Jason said, peering down at the center figure of the darkspawn group.

 

[The Zango]

Neria came up behind Jason on the opposite side to Allister and gazed down at the shadows that quickly approached.

"It seems we have company, my magics are at your disposal aswell Jason"

She began to glow with the feint purple energy once more, preparing to unleash a torrent of energy upon their foes and then mop-up at close range.

 

[Darth Caelum]

Allister smiled somewhat maliciously as he bent the Magic to his will. He forced it into the ground, the magical energies shaking the dirt from it's resting place. The Ground started to rumble and slide towards the Darkspawn. Allister thought he could see some of the Monstrosities look of shock.

He looked back at the Warden "It is done. What else would you have me do?"

 

[DragonofDecay86]

"Wait until the rockslide hits, I believe you two will be fighting a very powerful foe..." Jason said in response to Neria who had jsut come down on his side.

The rockslide tumbled down the slope, crashing into the higher up Darkspawn, but when it reached the main group, a large purple shield surrounding the Darkspawn. The rockslide tumbled down into the forest un-effective to the other Darkspawn.

"Just as I thought, lets get back up another level, There isn't much we can do with an Emissary guarding those darkspawn." Jason said, waiting for the others to go before him.

[The Zango]

'Oh, you want to play do you? Fine'

The aura around her intensified to the point were she would appear, at first glance, to be consumed by a purple flame. Suddenly she shot her hands forward and down towards the Darkspawn, sending two large bolts of energy, roaring through the air and down into the Darkspawn ranks.

 

[Crayzor]

Ashalle peered down at the purple shield that glimmered down the hill. "What are Emissaries? Darkspawn mages?" As if they couldn't get any more dangerous.

 

[DragonofDecay86]

"Quickly back in the cave, Neria that will do nothing." Jason called, the other apprentices jumping down to the ledge with Jason, "Defend the cave!"

The two bolts conjured by Neria were deflected easily, and her mind was suddenly ravage by tendrils of energy.

Jason motioned for Allister and Neria to hurry up, while he and the other apprentices, drew longbows and started picking off those out of range of the Emissary.

[Shanaar]

Hearing a rockslide, Laurence proceeded to unslung his bow from his back. He then went and took position further back in the shadows. In the shadows, Laurence took out a little saucer. Putting it on a rock near him, he proceeded to take out a bottle off poison. Filling the saucer with the poison, he took out a couple off arrows. These he placed with the arrow heads in the poison, on the rock near him and started to wait.

 

[The Zango]

Neria stood from her slumped position against a rock and massaged her temples, had the Emissary conjured that attack? Its magic was strong to say the least and she would have to concede victory this time, despite the fact that the barrier and the Darkspawn below could be obliterated by her with the simplest thought, she was under strict orders to show no more of her magics, an order she would obey without question or falter.

Her pride dented she still wanted to destroy them but the thought of her punishment or worse, mothers dissapproval stayed her hand. Instead she gathered herself when she stood and fell back slightly to the mouth of the cave to defend it.

This was another tactical flaw on Jason's behalf, surely if their foe was that insurmountable, a better course of action would be a retreat and possible ambushes laid along the way. This final stand bull felt like suicide. Still it would be another argument, another chess-piece, in the other battles to come.

She held her sword and twirled it as she had done with Sevink but this time with purpose, she would not hold back and she would hold her ground.

 

[DragonofDecay86]

Jason saw Neria stand her ground below and motioned for the three other apprentices to jump down with him. He landed beside Neria and the others did as well.

"Retreat was an order Neria." Jason said, the darkspawn now to close for that option, "We were going to send down rockslides and close ourselves in so that the emissary couldn't attack us. While that was happening we would have snuck out a side passage and ambushed them from a flank, but it is too late to do that now."

Jason drew his shield and motioned for the other three to do the same. Finally after a few more seconds, the Darkspawn reached the ledge Jason, Neria and the apprentices were on.

Jason charged in, cutting a darkspawn in half and sending his body toppling down to the Emissary, which was deflected easily.

 

[The Zango]

Spoiler: @Pyro

I thought we were a little way away from the mouth of the cave and Neria fell back to just inside the cave? Anycase I intended for Neria to be inside the cave with the others, as ordered and I'll edit my post once I get your go ahead

 

[Crayzor]

Ashalle gritted her teeth. How could they fight back if they couldn't punch through that shield? She moved back towards the entrance of the cave, while at the same time glancing around into the darkness, looking for any movement. She could still feel the lyrium within her, it's power able to amplify her magic. She threw up a strong shield that encompassed the area around the cave, hoping to deflect any attacks that came their way.

 

[Darth Caelum]

Allister's face was set in a grim mask, yet in the inside, his Avatars were working in a fever pitch to construct a double plan. One to wipe out the Emissary that was blocking their spells, the other was to gain info on Neria. All he had to really do was to wait for things to become a little more desperate. A little more Chaotic. Then he could move.

The Bloodmage used the last of his Magical Pool to collapse another nearby cliff into the Darkspawn formation, he didn't watch to see if it affected them or not as he moved to a better position.

 

[DragonofDecay86]

The cliff distracted the darkspawn Emissary, he wasn't prepared for it so he barely put up a shield in time. The rest of the rocks crashed down onto the darkspawn, lowering their numbers greatly but not enough to stop them.

 

[The Zango]

Spoiler: OoC

I'll assume I'm with the other PC people

Neria watched Jason and the others battling the Darkspawn far infront of the cave, flinging occasional bolts of energy almost casually into Darkspawn un-protected by the Emissaries shield. She would have liked to be down there with them, slashing away at them instead of waiting for their turn.

'Oh well, atleast I have the target practice'

 

[Sir Strange Of The House Lycan]

Sevink looked over the edge of the cliff for a few seconds before shrugging and walking back a few paces.He stopped and turned,taking a deep breath before grinning madly.He started to run,screaming at the top of his lungs,to the edge.He jumped with his sword in hand an insane smile on his face,read to kill any Darkspawn he could reach.Insanity filled his mind,rage conquered his thoughts,instincts assumed direct control.He snorted a few seconds before readying himself to charge.
