It was...well, an electrifying experience. And definately as painful as it looked. Whether it was magically caused or not, Ecurt's body still grew by more than five times his mass and volume, and this put an incredible strain on the Duck-Dragonish Human.

By the way, what would he be now? A Dracuckian? The Drak-wing Duck? Or just was he always was-a freak? And did he happen to have that crazy counter thing from Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter where he'd die when he used too much power?

Nevertheless, when it was all over, he had his old body back-except a little bit more scaly than he remembered being. At the very least, he didn't have to worry about getting roasted for Christmas dinner, and he had to admit that he was surprised to feel warmer.

"Oi, Raiden!" he yelled, cupping his hands around his mouth to raise the volume of his voice. "Thanks! Remind me to give you a Voo Doo Plushie of Pyros when this is over!"

"So, I guess that the three-team plan is a go, now? Righto, then I'll be heading to the stables. I'd like to meet these flying raindeer, maybe I can convince one to be a summon."

After saying this to no one in particular, Phil went to stand next to the naked dragon man (trogdor!) that Ecurt had become, as he thought he remembered Ecurt saying that he was going to the critter shack.

Garud decided it was best to go to the stables. He had no idea what demon would be there, but he did know that he was always ready for some slaying.

"See you guys in the castle in ten minutes."

Garud ran ahead of the stable group, passing Ecurt's new form. The sorceror was impressed. A dragonic being was great to have to kill a demon in a pinch.

The snow under the sorceror's feet was very slippery, but the boots were water resistant so his socks did not get wet. He hated sand, water and fire on his socks as they made him very uncomfortable.

Garud crouched behind a pile of snow, just outside the stable. He could hear the reindeer's distressed cries coming from inside. Garud felt pity for these things. The poor creatures. Okay, I need to eliminate the guards at the door, so the others can get in easily and back me up. I just have to analyse what spell would be best for getting rid of them.

Garud aimed his staff, but kept away from sight. Okay, the best spell for these demons would be...

(OOC: The rest of team Reindeer better catch up. I have a hankerin' for some slayerin.)

Rhiya heaved a long-suffering sigh, before following IC in a sedated manner.
"I guess I'll help out with Inbred and his lot then, though I doubt they need any help, what with Raiden coming with us," she shot Raiden a meaningful look, an evil grin spreading across her face. Then she turned and continued after IC.

Raiden watched as Rhiya ran off, and a shiver went down his spine.

"This won't end well. It won't end well at all."

"Well this outta be fun." IC said, with Pyros in hand. He looked at the sleeping cat as he made his way to the front entrance of the Workshop. "Knowing Radien's style, stealth is out, but the least we could do is try to flank them. Raiden, you mind going from the top?" IC said towards Raiden.

While waiting for a response, IC decided to see if he could wake the cat, so he gave it a good wack in the back. No waking, but it did cause the cat to spit out a flaming hairball. I think I'll make note of that. He thought to himself as he approached the doors, and glanced to see where Raiden went.

(ooc: I really hope you know that my idea was the exact same. IC just made it more specific... oh well...)

RMB rolled his eyes and let out the longest and loudest sigh he could possibly muster. He muttered under his breath, "Same plan, more specific. Though seeing as I'm not as noticed as the rest of them, not being a god and whatnot. I'm not god, but I do have powers that might put one to shame."

RMB got a devious smile on his face. He directed his attention towards Raiden and waited for a moment. From behind Raiden, he cast a Slow spell on him. He then muttered again, "Lets see the god of thunder work now." He then ran over toward IC smiling. "I'm ready whenever you are. Now which one of the immortals is following us?"

Naked?

...oh hell no.

Quickly tearing off a yeti's fur, he wrapped it around himself. Sure it stinked, but hell, it was CT's thing to run around naked, and Ecurt was definately Not CT. "Remind me to give Pyros a Voo Doo Cat Plushie of Raiden...and lots of needles."

Now clothed, Ecurt dashed off towards the stables.

Raiden slowly turned his head.

"Wwhhhhhhhoooooooooo tttttthhhhhhhheeeeeee hhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllll dddddddddddddddiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddd ddddddddddddd tttttttttttttttttthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaattttttttttttttttttt!!!!!"

Raiden slowly snapped his fingers, and his body shined for a moment.

"The next time someone decides to slow me down, remember that I know Remedy."

Raiden's cloud began to hover higher. As he headed for the top of the workshop, his fists began to glow with electricity.

In a very much impossible jump, DSS hit the top of a tree, then rebounded onto Raiden's shoulders.

He sat on his shoulders, and sighted with his gun.

"Got your back my friend. And don't worry. I'll make sure she doesn't say jiggle."
