Seloc ducked under the spear, flailed his saber into the strongmans chest, leaving a long gash. He then turned his short sword and rammed it in the mans armpit. The man dropped to the floor dead, blood soaking the floor.
The next attacker bargged his sheild into Seloc's face, knocking him to the floor. Seloc rolled on his back, over his head and back on to his feet. The assilant wasn't excepting this, and Seloc lunged for his heart taking advantage of the situation. The man recovered his wits fast and blocked Seloc's saber with a wide left slash, Seloc drove his short sword at the man, but this was blocked by his sheild. Seloc suddenly unleashed a fury off wide circular slashes hopeing to catch the man off guard. For the most part the man held useing his sheild to deflect most of the hits, but one found his mark in his shoulder, he ducked back out the fight. Leaving Seloc to search for another enemy.

[You guys have combined Mine and Ragnarrs....]

The fight in the hall passed as if for a few heart beats.
Ragnarr was in the middle of the hall, leaning heavily on a column. His greatsword was in his hand, stained in red.
As he looked around, he saw ten northmen leaning on their weapons beside him, looking at him with firmness. Lord Seloc was cleaning his short sword with a blooded cloth, while Lord Bacardi and Might were resting from the battle, leaning.
Geirmund was laying dead on the floor, a dagger sticking from his back. Styrbiorn had a spear in his chest, which held him on standing motionless beside the wall. Ulfar's face was slashed through. Voll had an arrow in his eye and two in his heart. Johan was still groaning for a healer, his hand on his wound on his belly, trying to stop the fatal flow of blood. Thorlak's head was on the ground, beside his own body.
These were the few dead.
Ragnarr opened his leather sack, haniging from his heavy belt and took out several flasks with wonderous colours.
"The elves gave me this,... these men have nothing to loose, we should help them,..."
He stepped towards Eyjolf, who had a horrible gash in his side.
"Drink this, brother,..."

*Might thinks about rescuing Septim, Erunion and Verll. Then he remembers that they rescued him.*

[OOC: its fine erunion, just, remember that tirade you went on about people not spellin your guys's names right, maybe I should go on one of those =)]

Jonny looked back, anxious to know who was going to try and take the monster out. Septim still looked a little out of it and Verll looked even worse. Then, as Jonny looked around wildly, he saw it.
The Dagger!
It was the dagger that had been lost during the mad rush through the city a few days ago. One of the quarbs (figures) had it.
Jonny ran over to where the dagger was still lieing inside the belt of one of the big men, and picked it up. Racing back to the hole, jonny stopped and stared back down at it.
Jonny took very careful aim, and threw the dagger as hard as he could.
The dagger flew down into the hole at an amazing speed, landing point embedded up to the hilt, in the top of the beasts head......
[You guys can make up what he does, just remember, its a magic dagger, so I figure it will at least hurt the beast a little bit more....]

[I'll write it]

Verll stands up, newly healed by Erunion. He looks up and sees Jonny standing at the hole.  Jonny throws something at the beast. It hits the beast at the top at te head. The beast roars in pain and looks even badder now. The beast grabs the thing on his head and pulls it out, and with a roar he throws it at Verll. It flies with awesome speed, but when it is right before Verll it stops and floats down on the ground.  Staring at the dagger, he wonder how did it do that and how the hell did it end up here. He had lost it during his time in the city. Still wondering he picked it up and sheathed  in it’s sheath which he still had.

Looking at the monster which now looked more angrier then ever he decideds that one of the magic users can bring it down. He looks at Septim which seems to be fullt healed, but sleeping as a newborn,  at Erunion which seems more gravely hurt then anyone here, he makes his choice.  He sees a cavern at his right. He picks up a rock and throws it at the beast, angering it. He moves slowly towards the cavern and the best follows him with the eye. When he is right infront of the cavern, he turns and runs and the beast roars and follow after.

After running some hundreds meters into the cavern  he stops.

“Oh damn..” he says. The cavern goes no further. It stops right there.  Frustrated he looks for a exit, but it is none.  Then he notices that the side of the cavern is in a bad shape and could fall down any second. Looking for something that might trigger it, he sees a lifter. He runs over to the lifter and looks down to see the beast coming at him at full speed. It moves a bit wobly but are coming fast nonetheless.  He decideds to pull the trigger, but when he lays weight on it, the wall seem to go a bit forward, as if is falling down.  He gets a idea and moves inward into the cave, until he can go no further and then he stops up to wait for the beast to catchup.  The beast comes charging right at him with full speed but stops when it notice the solid wall behind Verll. Starring at Verll he waits for him to make a move. Verll stands still for about half a minut then it’s patience is enough, with a roar it moves towards Verll, not charging but still fast. When the monster is only 10 meters away or so, Verll runs for it.  He dodges the monster and runs for the lift. When he is a the lift, the monster have turned and is about to charge him, but it is to late.Verll pulls down the lift and tonns of solid rocks falls upon the beast, berryi ng it.

 Standing at the lift, Verll breaths out, but then he notice something that makes him gasp. Where there before was wall of rocks it now was a entrance to a huge hall. Staring wondering at the entrance he decideds that the others must see this. He runs back to the river..

[I did some damage too. But yea, I actually thought of this monster as a balrog a bit. I think I mixed it with a rock golem though, haha]

I notice a man running towards the river and yell " Hey you young sir, can you hear me?"

" Im from the warriors of Tripaso"

" I heard shouting as I passed over the mountains"

{ hehe im here now, I am a Earth bender in other words i can use the earth     and rocks as if they are my own arms, magic .... im not able to lift mountains or anythign to extreme just simple things if thats ok :) }

[OOC:You did, but it wasn't a very deep hole, and four people where needed to kill it (including you knocking it down the hole) so, haha, well done Seloc.

[I believe revenge hasn't read the plot, we've all gone down the hole after Septim and the demon. The demon now lays under a pile of rubble, and a part of a cave has collapsed to reveil a great hall. forget about the river.....also the hole in the floor connects to a intricatre series of tunnels that travel throughout the city, thats why there are caves leading off. We have currently all grouped back up and are decideding what to do next. Does that sound right to you?]

"You can join along for this fight, for I believe we share a common enemy. Later we shall discuss anything further,..."
The hall that was hidden by the now fallen stones and rocks was enormous. It's ceiling was hidden in shadows and darkness and no torches were around - the only light source was Erunion's shining sword-staff by some elven magic.
"Seven hells, what is this place,..?.... Let's see if we can find a way out back up, I think we have matters to end,.."
Ragnarr started pacing slowly forward, looking around for any gates, doors and exits.
"This place looks ancient,.." remarked Bacardi.
Their foot steps echoed in the darkness.
"I believe several tunnels lead their beginning from here,..." said Septim, pointing at a few large exits, leading into long corridors.
"If we take this one we should be heading back to port. If we take this one, we will end up somewhere east,..." said Seloc.
"Maybe we should head back to the ships,..." suggested Eyjolf.
Ricmorn nodded. "What else can we do?.."
Ragnarr turned around, facing them. "We haven't finished with those black robes above. If we leave them now, they will strike again, and again,... untill we are not so lucky,..." Ragnarr said coldly. "We did indeed encounter a lot of pain, and we lost a great number of commrades, yet I am not leaving them, not after what they did to,... Arnora,.."
Ragnarr turned around, head averting the rest.
"So who is with me?..."

"I shall help you slay all of the black robes, Ragnarr, for I am your second in command, and what kind of second in command would I be if I wouldn't join you in battle?"

*Might starts to clean his dagger.*

"I guess I should too.*

" I have some good heral remedies I learnt, shall I make some while we ae outside because inside the caves plants will be few and far between..."

The stairwell winded up into a large room,

" Erunion can you whip up some sort of lighting spell, its quite dark in here" said Ragnarr " Yes hold on " replied Erunion as he created a ball of pure light on the roof of the room.

Thats when they noticed what they had come across....

[ Let you decide ]

[ That is so. Revenge, check previous posts to see how the game is played. ]

*Jonny is at the very back, and pushes Might along*
"Come on lad, pick up the pace. We are falling a bit behind."

[OOC:hahaha, funny funny]

" This writing , I have seen it in my home land we have studied it for years and never found out the creators of this language but I know a little of this language "

" It sort of reads like this"    " Those who pass through this gate " 

" I dont know what the rest says"

* Revenge peers around the door and notices that there is a small crevis in the upper left corner*

* He tip toes and notices a small lever which with a good tug pulls down but also falls on his bottom *

[ I will let you say what happens , I think maybe we should be teleorted or something or maybe the door opens , but I said that its some sort of gate above]

[ I will apear in a bit ok and oh btw you will pay seloc lol ]

"Boy, even people like this couldn't get away with having those traps lethal. It's not worth it. Much better to take the person and find out why they're here. If it was lethal, then they'd be killing dozens of inquisitive kids, who climbed through the window there. Some of those kids would be from great families. Ruling families, perhaps."

*Might takes a few gems for himself also.*

"Who was that guy anyway because I didn't really listen to him bablling about where hes from."

*Slips two gems into Septims pocket, without him noticing*

"No you roo are guilty" whispers Jonny. Then he laughs

Jonny spits out the too sapphires, both covered in blood where they scraped the roof of his mouth.

"Haha, I bet you will. Septim, you hit like a girl. We should prolly stop messin around now. We can continue this later."

Seloc: "Stop fighting!"

[No *beep*ming this thread!]

Seloc: "Stupid fools."

Seloc then approaches the gate whilst everyone is either staring at the floor in shame or blaming someone else. Seloc starts examining the gate with his hand, running it over the smooth artwork.
CLICK
Seloc withdrew his hand quickly, as loud banging started to come from behind the gate. It sounded like bolts being drawn, and with a definate creepy squeak the gate slid open. There was definatly a machine to it as the gate instead of opening, by swinging outwards or inwards, seemed to sink into the walls on either side of it.
Remembering the fate of the other fool, Seloc jumped back towards the group, who were staring at the new development, and waited to see what would happen.
...........
A quite eriness spread over the cave like a infection, planting everyone's feet firmly to the floor.

[Contiune the story, but don't post short usless posts.]
