Inferno's arrival to the 8-bit theater world Chapter 2: Feather Hunt
 

OOC: Ill just repost my other post and does anybody have an idea for a new name since inferno isnt here anymore


"Hmm... sounds intreasting yes I think I will join". He said. "Nothing left to do at town anyway". Said Will thinking about the comotion he had caused. "Can you give me a bit more detail on why were doing this and the chances there will acually be treasure involved in it?

"Of course, by 'share', the dragon means 'pittance', and by 'treasure', he means the 'inexhaustible hoard of gold and magical items possessed by the phoenix'" Aeryn added, "And since you thieves are good at checking for traps, you walk in front."

"Uhm..." Myrra tapped her chin, contemplating the thief in front of her. Bah! He'll do. A little scrawny, but after the adventure, I'll sacrifice him to the dark one. That was basically along the lines of what her mind was considering, though in more gruesome detail.
"Well, alright. I agree with what Aeryn has to say."

the half-drow nodded, "A wise choice...." he looked at Myrra again, calculatingly....as though considering her for some unknown purpose, "A wise choice indeed......" he smiled, not the wicked smile of earlier....but a friendly smile that was somehow even scarier coming from the dark-hearted mage.

Mercury thinks that his way had been more subtle than Aeryn. He had never said how large the shares would be nor had he said how many shares there would be. Looking at Aeryn he says, "We'd better look out for those wood elves. Not only are they annoying but they taste like trees and I'm not talking about the tasty varieties of tree either."

Seeing everyone giving him odd looks he continues, "I'm a dragon remember? I can eat rocks if I want to." During the awkward silence, everyone freezes as they suddenly hear a twig snap...

Will started talking as if nothing at happened, but they could see he was preparing to take out his daggers and attack. "First of all if my "share" isnt equall I might find that hoping for a bigger one would desrupt my trap search and secondley I thoght Mercury should be up front". "He is a dragon and a dragons hide is very good armor and wouldent he want to be up front in case a mage attacks us with one his ancient and little known spells".

Aeryn began juggling several deady balls of energy, passing them hand to hand with expert ease, "And I think that being distracted would be more deadly to you than to us....after all, you ARE going up front. If you're too distracted to detect any traps, then you'll fall prey to them. Mercury is powerful...but like Rage and myself, his job is to kill anything that attacks us. We do our jobs, and you do yours....and if you fail due to 'distraction', what you get will be no more or less than you deserve in terms of pain." his voice was casual, yet hard and cutting as a finely-honed steel blade.

OOC: pardon my language... if there is anything to pardon about. And now... some random combat!
BIC:
"As subtle as a hammer to the balls," Myrra chuckled, then her voice became serious, "Well, if we are to go about in the ressurection of my deceased loved one, wouldn't we be hurrying righ--" her question was cut short as an arrow whistled past her ears. Myrra couldn't resist grinning and announcing gleefully, "Oh yay! More sacrifices for the Dark One."

Mercury yells out, "I can redirect spells so I don't need to be in front," to Will as he casts aside a spell of transmutation he'd cast on himself to decrease his size while in the town and leaps into combat. At his full size Mercury is larger than a warhorse, his outspread wings making him seem even bigger. He leaps into the air and then glides towards the nearest tree with elves in the branches. An arrow bounces harmlessly off his side as he inhales and breathes forth fiery destruction upon the unfortunate elves in the tree. The leap off, clothes ablaze, as lightning suddenly arcs from Mercury's talons, leaping to the next group of elves. Mercury swoops down on the survivors, a feral glint in his eyes.

Whiping out his knives Will yelled. "save some for me!" and began cutting down the remaining enemies. Almost taking an arrow at his side hurling the dagger at the would be killer and then grabbing it.
