A trembling arm was causing her aim off and she eventually dropped her bow. Her shoulder would not have bothered her so bad if it hadn't been the one that Kaden had mangled. But since it was, the stress on it was getting to much, making her whole arm practically numb. Bow forgotten and projectile assult left to her mother, she grabbed up her remaining dagger and started to go for the places that were getting exposed, shoving the blade into cracks and yanking back, breaking off pieces of exoskeleton.
Kieran took to cracking a bit more places before flipping his sword once more, takign the blade against the non protected insides of the horroe, slicing and stabbing all the way to his sword's hilt, a searing sound being heard everytime from fire imbuned weapons of all three elves. Though as the thing started to topple as the multitude of injuries were taking it's toll he grabbed Piper, pulling her back as they steeped away from teh swaying creature. No one liked getting crushed.
Fianna had stayed to shots in join areas where she could diable the horror as the other two worked on beating it down. Quite the effective little team what with bonds and magics on thier side. But as Kieran and Piper backed off she changed her target, loading up two arrows at once and aiming for the things head before the runes on her bow and arrows alike glowed a bit brighter and she let go of the two arrows to hopefully bring the thing finally down. Tiring work this fighting business.

"Daddy was outside with me in the flowers. I don't know where he is now." She took the adorible Moreel in her hands, taking ocmfort in his little furry body, and watched as her gaurdian sped off. She waved after him.
The horror screamed a clacking scream, in terrible amounts of pain as his outsides where chipped and banged away form his body. Hiw whole body twitched and spasmed as firey things stabbed and ripped at his soft uner-flesh. No longer able to fight it, he pitched forward, falling to the floor, breaking floor panles and creating a nice loud bang. He lay there dieing, unable to move, or even open an eye.
Moonstone took Kat in his arms, steering away form the wreakage and the fighting, trying to calm her, and hoping she wouldn't suddenlt run off in a panic and hurt herself. "No one's leaving you. See? We're all right here." He held on tightly, his arms wrapped around her shoulders.
The beetle creature convulsed sickeningly, every lim thrownout wards and shaking, twitching. Once finished, his mind was pretty much burnt out, all he could do was swing said limbs in every direction, knocking this and that, and yet he knew not of what he did. He was next to dead now.

Kat flinched and almost took off running when Moonstone touched her, she thought it was soemthing else. But she could feel his fur on her skin and it calmed her a little.
Although she could feel her burned and blackened skin on her shoulder rubbing away against Moonstone's, she wanted the comfort that he offered. Tears streamed from her eyes. "He left..." Her body's shaken begin to slow until she was only crying.

The beetle, now that it was virtually dead, was being eaten alive by undead golems and breakers, cracking it's shell with thier hammers and fists and just eating the inner flesh like a swrm of ants, while Malik went looking for Piper and the others, and in a very foul mood, running into Simon who was likewise covered in instect blood and goo.
"Your daughter is fine, I can feel her though Malvolence."
"What the hell as that?"
"A beholder. and I think I know who, sent it, and why. and I'm going to get answers as soon as this place is back in order."
"Then I'll assist in the repairs, once I get my duaghter safe and sound."
"Good."
And they parted ways, Simon looking for his duaghter and Malik for Piper.
Onyx landed by Moon, and grimaced at the breakers eatting the hook horror, like it was a campfire roast.
"Moon, Kat? you guys alright?"

Two were covered in battle horror ick, all three were panting. Kieran and Piper from physical exhaustion, Fianna from her use of magics. Piper let her dagger fall from her hand and moved that hand to grasp at her shoulder. Damn Kaden. Though she supposed if she was human it would be taking twice as long to heal. She swallowed, catching her breath once more as the runic circle around them and the runes on their wepons and Kieran's armor flicked before slowly disappearing. "Welcome to the Underdark..."
Kieran sheathed his weapons, walking over to the now dead and slightly smoking creature, wrenching Piper's other dagger from it's back. No need to loose a good weapon...those runes were hell to get done correctly. Then over to Piper. "You alright?"
"I'm fine...my shoulder is jsut sore and is making my arm numb. It'll pass, go check mother." Playing the strong one as ever, but she was worried about her mother. Fianna's magic had always been strong and her rune manipulation powerful, but very taxing on the elf especially when she was simply thrown into battle and not mentally prepared. A nod to her father as he nodded to her then went upstairs, leaving Piper to lean against the wall a moment.
Fianna was indeed kind of worn, sitting in the hall and leaning against the wall as Kieran came up to her and crouched next to her, running a hand through her hair. She managed him a small smile as he drew her into his arms and lifted her, holding her bridal style as she held her bow across her chest. "Well...that was certinally an intersting fiasco."

The imps helped Bode to the floor before they went iff to do their own things amoung the mayhem, which seemed almost pointless to them now. Running through rubble, she foudn her father and jumped into his arms, acting very much the frightned daughter, which was easy considering that she was.
Raziel had turned an uggly shade of green from being covered in horror goop, and his wings were sticky and ckacked together with it as well. He tried not to look disgusted as Kieran went about taking care of his wife. Gees, the smell! He's be a walking stink bomg for some time. How was he ever goign to get this stuff out of his wings?
Moon hugged Kat tighter, a little oblivious to her wounds and just trying to catch his breath. He was as of yet unsure of any wounds, but the arm that the kobold had attacked burned hot with pain. He'd look after it later. he looked up at his brother. "We're all right, though Kat's pretty shook up." Then back to the frightened girl "No one's left, Kat. We're all right here." He purred for her, much like he'd seen Father do for Mother when she was upset. It always had calmed her....

Kat stopped muttering, she blinked a few times for what felt liek the first time since she started screaming. Moonstone's purring felt good against her back, and she looked up, and around and noticed indeed that nobody had left. Everyone was here, hurt, covered in goop and blood, but all here. She gulped and her muscles relaxed. "Hi Onyx..." She said a little feebily, "... I think you may have some sort of infestation."

anything insect like was quickly being eaten by golems and breakers, who really didn't mind the smell, as long as the food was edible. Undead and Ogres weren't bright. Malik was looking over damamge as he walked toward where Malvolence told him Piper was, Ebony resheathed on his back and looking like he was still in battlemode, though at the present he was just really pissed.
Simon held Bode, and ran his hand through her hair, and checked her void.
"This wasn't something you might have caused, was it?"
Not a pleasent question, but one that bode knew would be asked. her void could summon these types of things. but he looked her over and just in case whisper words to a shaman spell to cure poison and disease.
Onyx smirked lightly.
"Nah. infestations don't include floating eyeball things with little eye tentacles that shoot magic beams at you."
Speking of which, he checked hte injury on his leg. at least tht beam thing had seared it, so he wasn't bleeding by man that hurt and it was a nasty gouge in his leg.
"It almost hit malik a few times, and he had a few of the more loyal breakers take sacrifical injuries for him. be it through fear or somethign else they are loyal to him."

By this point, Fianna and Kieran were sitting on the steps, both taking a bit of rest while Fianna had Raziel on her knee, attempting to clean him up some. Poor thing was drenched in ick. And quite contrarty to what many may of thought about the elf, she didn't mind the stuff at all and had long ago learned to deal with such things, however unpleasant. Besides...her own clothes were sporting some from Kieran picking her up.
Kieran was brushing at the mess on himself as well as he sat next to Fianna, pulling out his blade and wiping it on his pants leg, he had gathered his whip and dagger, both of which were sitting next to him on the steps. A look over to Raziel and Fianna. "I forgot to thank you Raziel...after all, I like my head on my shoulders." A little chuckle with that...after all that trouble and although he was filthy, he stil has his humor. Just like Kieran wasn't it?
Piper had been walking around the immediate area, picking up her things with her good arm and throwing them into a pile. Arrows and blades covered in sticky ick alike and dripping over what else wasn't covered. Oh yeah, that'd be fun to clean up later off of those weapons...not to mention her left arm and shoulder weren't happy and she was nice and splattered with ick as well. With a sigh she reached up and ran a hand through her hair...only to have her fingers hit goo covered flowers. Well imagine that...it was still there. Though the sight of Malik caught her attention...uh oh, Lord D'Vinn was not a happy drow at all...he hated his stuff being ruined and well...the fortress was a good bit ruined. But braving the supposed wrath she walked over to meet him, head cocked to the side and right hand holding to her left shoulder, rubbing lightly as she was trying to get the feeling back. "Are you alright A'mael?"

"Alright? there's a huge hole in teh basement and the lower flooring of my home, there's insect carrios and goo and ichor all over, scars for lighting and fire, three burned tapestries and a table, and I will wager three to one that arrogant assinine drow pirate is the cause of it all!"
A growl, though he noted the rubbing of her shoulder.
"Are you alright? what's wrong with your shoulder?"

She shook her head vigorusly. "Umm hmm. I didn't do it, Daddy." She looked down at the ground though, as if she really were responsible. While fright caused her void to leak more, she hadn't been the one to call such things to the...'surface' as it were.
"What were "it" anyway? I've never seen anything like them before, course I suppose I should stop being surprised by the underdark. Moonstone sat Kat on some rubble and began checking over her. Her burns were pretty nasty looking.
"I suppose it's a good thing that Malik's fortress has become more pupolated."
Raziel was more than greatful that Fiana was looking after him, and tried not to flintch when dried goop pulled at wings, hair, or skin. Underneath the slime, his blush made him look rather sickly. "Ah well...what else do freinds do, hmm? I hope I didn't hurt your ear to badly."

She tried not to cringe at his yelling. Oh she knew it was going to be bad...just not how bad. Well now she knew didn't she? "I'll take that as physically yes, mood wise no." For a moment she searched for something or other to quell that anger in him. "...It could be worse? We couldn't have a home at all? We're alive? Any of that making you feel better?" When he was angry he just yelled at everyone. Though a look to her shoulder as his mentioning. "Relatively alrihgt...I got pinned on my shoulder and this is the one still healing from my encounter with Kaden. Just a bit numb from over working...really I'm fine." Of course she could be bleeding all over the place and still say that.
Fianna was trying to be gentle as possible and good thing it was that sticky come off rather easy goo. Made it all the better. Though they were all going to have to get washed up later. "I think we all made out well...despite the mess, damaged, exhaustion, and what not." Despite her chipper tone, she still looked rather worn as opposed to Kieran.
Kieran chuckled. "Not too badly, adn even if you did it was all in good intentions. I knew it was a good idea to have an extra pair of eyes when going into battle, saves you from some rough spots I'd wager. Brave little guy you are though...usually familiars don't stick aroudn too much for battle." Then a look to Fianna. "You're going to need to rest up, dear Rune Mage. That was quite the quickfire display."

Raziel was finly thinking of a hot bath. Course, the baths here were much too big for him his wings would sink him to the bottom, but still is was a rather pleasant thought. "Yeah. We made out." He smiled. "I'm not elaving your shoulder for anything less than what you tell me to do, keiran. If that measn going into battle, than I will, and I will not flinch."

"It's alright hun, you know we have to ask and make sure, that's all. but lets get you the others. safety in numbers just in case this isn't over."
He rested her agaisnt hsi shoudler, rubbing her back lightly.
"Everything is going to be alright, Bode. your guardian did a good job protcting you, didn't he?"
"Well...they are like big insects...except that thing. it was like a big ball of eyes with a mouth. I don't know what that was."
A smirk at Moonstone.
"Your the one with the shaman gifts..can't you...heal the injuries?"
"It was a Beholder. a fairly power spellcasting being. they are normally solitary. which means somethign was in charge of it, using it like a captian to this little assault. and the only being I know powerful enough to controla Beholder is Dimitri. and what reason does Dimitri have to strike us? Tarathiel's assault. we just happened to take the counter strike probably becuase he'd rather not risk harm to the Oracle."
His attention back to Piper.
"I am quite happy that you are all relatively unharmed. though I want a cleric checking your shoudler and any injuries anyone sustained. I'll have to get an enchantment redone on my armor, and I have a few minor injirues under this armor. but still..we take the brunt for the stupidity and arrogance of that drow. and I am going to give him a peice of my mind about it."

She nodded against his shoulder. "Right, Daddy!" Ane smiled too. "Guardian Onyx found me in a chand...chandl...light haning."
"Well, the only big insect I've seen where those spiders in the Oracle's caves. And I tihnk I would have rather encountered those again."
He gave his brother a look. "I'm not that strong. I suppose I couldhelp it on it's way, but I won't be able to heal it." He wasn't very good at the shaministic things...he'd never really had any reason to practice. But,doing what he could he chanted and tried to heal kat, but really he only accumplished a slightly less burnt look. Ah well, it would start it healing faster at least. "Wnat me to try your leg?" He asked, since Onyx was obviously favoring it.
