Malik waited. Nothing. no attacks, no trapdoors, no screams from ignited gas. nothing at all.
"That's enough Nightmare."
And once she stopped, he moved ot teh faceface, took off his guantlet, and placed his hand on it. cold.
"He's playing with us now. he knows too damn much. he's prepared for what I thought to do, which means he's probably just waiting for us to try and get through the front door. which will undoubtably be guarded by armies on it's own. and I bet teh totems are ineefective as well.might work on helping kill the cornfields, but not do near enough damage."
Back went the guantlet, and on went his helm, the hosl face except the eyes was plated, no soulstealing kisses for him. He knew how they worked..just not how to get them too work. or he'd used them with those damned orcs.
"The tinkers bag on Nightmare should have enough facemasks for everyone.they are gnomish aqualungs, normally used for water breathing. everyone needs to have one on, we're going to give the front door a good knock."
"Shellfish. you have a deal...but..how am I supposed to get them to you? I mean..you can't eat them through this ghost image can you?"
claws extended, wings flared a bit, getting ready to go, but hey that was a valid question, can't bring her seafood if you can't get in the door, can you.

This was going to be harder than she expected...then again being inexperienced at war her expectations were low anyway. Then he deemed they needed extra equipment. Hehe, she remembered those little devices. The incident involved his helm and her whip wiht a rock and a deep tunnel of ice cold murkey water. Had to fetch them now didn't they? It was an experience. But since she knew what she was looking for, she dug them out, tossing two in Zahara's direction for her and Sevilin. "This is it then." Take a breath Silverfeather, you're in for a trip aren't you?
While one landed in Zahara's lap, NYm snatched teh other one, working back to Sevilin and handing to him, reciving a pet for his trouble. The ferret then climbed up his hair a bit and dove into his tunic, this was where he always disappeared to when Sevilin did his battling and what not.
Sevilin, with mask in hand, slipped off of Serino, stretching a bit as he took in the situation. A smirk. "Well about time we got a battle going on here." After securing the face mask on he reached back and grabbed his pole arm, pulling it from it's holder. Ah battle...even if he wasn't goign to be in the face of the action.

Aren't I such a bother? How very unkind of me, I should relly be more conciderate. Here, I'll start behaving. Look.
The front door swung open.
"I don't neccessarily have to be on the recieving end of a task. As long as you do it, that is all that matters." She shrugged. "Just bring it back here. The others will inspect it, and it might make it's way to me."

Oh look, he'd used nightmare like that and it hadn't even done any good. She shook her ehad and sighed, so they were going to knock on the door adn stand there like idiots waiting to be massacred. What a plan! She slipped off Serino as well and used her legs to hold her sledgehammer between them while she pulled on her own mask then moved her hammer to her hands. She stood there Sevilin behind her, Malik and Piper in frotn fully ready to blast anything that came through that door and waited. Oh look..it opened easily. That was far too easy...which meant the ambush lay beyond the doorway. Votes for Malik to go through the door first? Hers certainly was. She watched for a moment violet eyes narrowed and watched, "Who's going through?"

"I am."
Malik stepped through the door first, and walked with flanks of Golems. both Malvolence, and Ebony were unsheathed, and he took a look around, stopping for a moment's time.
"Dimitri! I know who you are..and what you are. Come out and show yourself."
Nothing like a little arrogance. he knew he was probably hopelessly outnumbered, and maybe overpowered. Ebony might have some trick up the sleeve yet, being blessed by his mother who obviously was not pleased with him at the present..why else would she bless a weapon to kill him.
Onyx grinned lightly nad got a running start, hit hte castle wall, and richoceted off to get airborn. twenty pounds of shellfish..hmm..and he stopped in from of the archer..and SStrl.
"Got a bag or a satchel that can hold twenty pounds?"

Of course he was, him and his little leader complex but she kept that thinking to herself now didn't she? And merely watched a moment through the doorway which seemed to be the thing that seperated one thing from another. Ugh Malik...don't get cocky now...bad thigns happen to the whole group when just one got cocky. Though he was probably beign so on purpose.
Sevilin had no intention of waiting much either. He walked pass both women and throught the doorway after Malik and his golems, red eyes peering around in that almost paranoid fashion. Though a side glance to Malik as he called out thier foe. Typical tactic.
"I have the feeling...that we're nothing but playthings." Which meant to watch yourself all the more. Breifly he wondered if Malik knew the Underdark sign language that most drow often used when words were troublesome. After all, Malik wasn't 'exactly' drow.

Inside was nothing but pitch black. No normal light could pierce it's blackness. It was a very dark black, any other black would be proud to call it'self this black's brother.
There were strange sounds, as if things were closing in aorund, or maybe it was the sound of one richoting of close walls. Open space or closed space, it was hard to tell.
"You are in no position to be making demands, Little Tier'Dal."
Sstrl didn't bother to answer, and the archer pat. "I have no obligation to help you, filthy creature."

Which left Zahara and Piper outside the door. Zahara shook her head and grabbed Piper's hand, the two walking in right after the men together. Well...this was lovely now wasn't it? Yes indeed. "Darkness...how quaint." She tightened her grip on her hammer and peered around, though she couldn't make much out. Darkness like that was worse than Underdark darkness. She wanted to laugh when she heard the voice but she didn't dare. Noise would give away their position and she knew better.

"Oh but I am in every position to make demands. Your mommy is not happy with you. and neither are your living relatives. or anyone else for that matter. You may be some great, lordly Lich. but as far as I'm concerned, your just another corpse in my way."
Ebony got held up, and the light from it shined like a becon almost, just as raidiantly too did Malvolence shine in red. Darkvision only worked so well, and this was magically induced darkness.
"Gathering your forces around us? trying to spare your precious cornfields? Or is that that you're just afraid to show yourself. cowardly hiding in teh dark, hoping we'll fall for your ominous voice overs and magic tricks?"
Onyx landed right on the edge of the castle, in a wing flared semi crouch.
"I am not filthy...I spend a good deal of my morning making sure of that. your just pissy because you don't have wings and are couped up here with that Captain."

Hey now...did she have to be dragged. They had a little bit better vision than herself and it didn't help that this darkness wasn't natural. Piper wasn't too fond of it at all. "Don't you mean how cliche'?" But she merely listened to Malik and what they presummed to be the voice of Dimitri, exchange verbal words of cockiness. Her grip on her bow tightened a little in unease.
Sevilin was staying quiet as well, drowning out what Malik and the lich were saying, concentrating on the darkness around him, seeing if he could pick up anything...just wouldn't do should this voice keep them distracted enough to noti notice more important things.

"Mother, maybe. My family, perhaps. You? No. The gap of power is to far for you to jump, little man." He laughed. "I am simply protecting my home. I would think one such as you would understand that."
A chuckle. "Here I am minding my own buisness when I get attacked! Oh, what poor fortune to be bestoed with such rude houseguests."
On the other side of the door where the others stood, the ground shook violently. Large cracks opened up int he ground. Insents, so thick they appeared to move in a black wave, poured out of the every opening.
On giant jerheg swooped down from it's hiding place, aiming for Zahara. The sound of someone sucking in air through their mouth came from behind Sevilin. The entrance, once small and brittle looking, seemed to have made itself large to accomodate.
"Spend a good amount of the morning licking your crotch do you?" He shook his head. "Idoit. I can levitate, who would envy hideiously combersome things like that?"

Zahara didn't like this one bit. He was playing with them, tautning them both verbally and literally with this darkness. His laugheter rang out and she shuddered at the sound of it but remained silent. She was circling slowly in place trying to figure out just what was going on. And then the ground began to move and shake trying to throw her to the ground. Somehow she remained standing but every instinct was on high alert. Something was coming at her. She spun to pary any blow that would try to smash into her. "Let the fun begin."

There it was...a sound that wasn't to be played with and he wasn't enjoying one bit. One of those runic circles flicked to life under his feet, followed shortly but one under Zahara's.A muttered word a hand gesture and one rune seemed to stand out from the rest.
He smirked...go on, let something touch him...it would get incinerated. A powerful rune spell to say the least but limited in it's use. He could maybe pull of five usages of it before he couldn't handle the tax anymore without other effects.

Malik paid no midn to Zahara or Sevelin. hell he barely even moved except to grin lightly.
"Others had siad that before. You might be unpleasently surprised, Dimitri. much like you were with Ton, eh? mother's favored son? I have your mother's power in my right hand, I'd be a bit more careful."
A few beheadings fo the Soulless, while the other handled themselves. teh Golems, when tehy too damamge, spilled forth venmous poisned gas and acidic liquids. the necormancers cast thier spells of decay, disease, and etheral chains..as well as spells that drained the strength of thier enimes and gave it to thier undead or living friends, and slowing the enemy down.
the undead casters used thier fire spells without reservations and without care for themselves, of course. but now they also didn't have to worry about it themselves. they maybe outnumber and possibly out powered, but Dimitri's forces woudl take a heavy loss from such a small grouping.
Onyx grumbled lightly.
"I do not lick there that much. and your just jealous that I actually can. I just want a damn bag to collect shellfish for the Oracle in. what is the big deal. you damn elves are so stingy and hoardish. you sure you aren't dragonkin?"

Piper had merely backed herself up till her back was barely touching Malik's. Keep her barrings of where he was and where she was for that matter. Underdark dark was bad enough for her, this kind of dark was almost crippling seeing as her vision had been cut down even more so. Though she did have an arrow notched on her bow and ready for use should something alert her senses of being too close and not of the friendly persuasion. Best thing about staying close to Malik was that if needed she could fall into a sword sync with him. Then she really wouldn't need her vision now would she?
