Years and years in the underdark has tought Jarlaxle many things. Sunlight was not his frient. Rock Spider venom is a b***h. Matron Mothers are not to be double crossed and allowed to live. Being defeated clearly in an engagement should result with your death. SEvilin thought that he could ply around, let the drow general blow of the steam for some inner rage or need for revenge. No, this was a fight to determine if Jarlaxle's life was worth the nine thousand two hundred years he had struggled to survive. This punk defeated him easily before, matching his melee with a horrid technique that would have the most skilled of human fighters slain. He lived, and on top of that, he managed to gain the upper hand. After suffering that dishonour, as honour was as close to any joy Jarlaxle had ever felt in his long life, the drow general should die, or kill Sevilin.
Sevilin's attempts to be an ally were not working. Each maneover the rune mage fighter made created some vast opening in his defense, mostly because he was just playing around. His attempts to make 'friends' with Jarlaxle was actually only growing more irritating, as the foriegn drow elf was making a complete mockery out of Jarlaxle's skills.
"Why is it any punk who picks up a sword from a foriegn plane can match skills with the elite of this one?" Jarlaxle said after tring to cut Sevilin's arm off with a very complex thrust and semi-circle slash rutine, that lead into an attack onto the thraot with ther edge of the tip of the blade, which compensted for a doge by stabing on an upwards arch towards the eye, and rounded at the end to stab downwards on an angle across the inside of the younger drows face. The other blade viciously attacked Sevilins weapons (if the were still funtional) and armour, literally trying to beat him to death inside his mail.

Sevilin didn't make too many evasive moves, only those that would keep a limb from being hacked off or his life immediately ended, more or less dancing to Jarlaxle's moves, avoiding when he could, and takign hits when he wasn't fast enough. Though he was indeed getting more or less pounded to death, blood starting to seep through broken skin, even splatter a little if a blow landed on the same spot.
"Perhaps you only think no one younger than you can be on your level...the younger generations always surpass the older...adn you've said yourself, you've been around for a long time." Though he stumbled in his steps as he almost got his eye taken out and only got his cheek slahsed open instead. That was better than loosing his eye. However, he didn't seem to suffer from pain.
Still neither rune nor weapon raised in offense or defense, his blantant refusal to play Jarlaxle's game over the drow's wounded pride. He had no quarrel with his elder, and his elder needed no quarrel with him.

Catawa growled, but didn't move to enjage the figure like Onyx did.
The woman watched Onyx and sneered with one side of her lips, placed a hand on one hip. "It's about time you got here." She looked at her long nails, which were painted balck. "I was begining to get rather bored waiting in this hellish place."

"Oh? waiting for me? or her? or us? You are..I will say..easy on the eyes. But I do beleive you aren't exactly here to roll out a red carpet and say take me I'm yours!"
Yes Onyx was being sarcastic and mocking. hey, there was just fun to play with. though a glance at her nails.
"lovely color choice. matches your hair and my fur. and do tell..why only half blind? stick yourself in the eye with one of those?"

"Onyx." Kieran couldn't help the repremand...you shouldn't tempt danger after all. It was just stupid sometimes. Though is grip did tighten on his sword a little as he stepped cautiously into the room the figure was occupying. "Do tell...you would be?"

"Your human interpretation of the universe is quite puzzling." Replied Jarlaxle, calmly.
The swords witched duties, the offensive one attacked weapons and armour, and the old weapon breaker now tried for flesh. Jarlaxle doubled his speed for a few moments, his attacks came more frequently and surprisingly, became more accurate.

Zahara was getting more and more pissed off. The stranger beside her had gone quiet so she focused her attention more fully on the fight going on a little way's away. Sevilin still refused to lift a weapon and now Jarlaxle wasn't holding back but beating him rather viciously. Of course Sevilin had probably lived through much the same while he was back home but this was ridiculous. In no less than five seconds that annoying gnat could be squashed beneath his boot, yet he refused to do it. why? He was going to die...damn stubborn drow. If he survived this, she'd kill him herself!

Tanundra was just helping Meilikki to sit up in bed when the knock at the door came. Still fairly week, though strong enough to stay awake for more than a couple of hours now. "Come in, dear."
"Yes. Waiting for you." Vainly, she flipped her hair. "Half blind because I reiceived half of my mother's gift." Said like it was supposed to be common knowledge. "Duh." Both hands on her hips now. "I'm Omega."

Onyx clapped and grinned lightly.
"Omega. I love it. and let me wager on it that Dimitri considers himself Alpha? Alpha and Omega...the begining and the end."
A glance at Kieran.
"Can we keep her? she's just so cute."

"Sometimes they aren't all twits or merely steal elvish reasonings." However Jarlaxel's switch of weapons didn't change up Sevilin's behavior. Dodging when he could still and reflecting hits that would be more fatal or crippling, letting his forearms mostly take hits. Though metal digging in from impacts wasn't fun either. "If you look to kill me then do it already..."
It wasn't a bluff...it was a kind of logic. If Jarlaxle wanted him dead then he would of killed him already...even with his own blocking the drow could easily get in a fatal blow somewhere, that Sevilin was sure of. Of course with the new burst of speed and accuracy it was harder to keep up.
At the voice on the other side of the door, Piper turned the knob and pushed it open, stepping in and then closing it. She tucked the note in her belt and then slid her collar onto her arm, that was she didn't have to hold it but it was still there. Walking over to the bed with a smile she sat on it's edge. "Hello Meilikki...how are you feeling?"
Kieran was not impressed...especially with her attitude. "Well then...Omega...do you happen to know what happened to all the others?" Though okay, Onyx got a half smile out of him, "Onyx, do mind your manners."

"No. I'm just the last." She smacked her lips. "Like, okay. I've been waiting here for like, two days? You had every opportinuty to speed up, but no, instead you keep me waiting here like a wallflower." She crossed her arms. "Yeah, I know where they are. Why else would I be here?"
Meilikki smiled softly. "I hurt, but I'm feeling better than before." Tanundra bowed politly and stepped out the door, just a call away if he was needed. "Glad you've come to visit me, your won healing is going well?"

((Is that permision to god mode?))
Jarlaxle blades vut closer to his marks, mostly because at this point the lacerations would make moving more difficult, and adrenaline only lasted for so long. IN truth, Jarlaxle's every attack was aimed at killing Sevilin, but the mageling's fighting process matched his. That did not mean Jarlaxle would stop attacking. He would probably have to use his haste enchantment soon to end this fight.
Rune Breaker made a rathr strange fientig neck attacking slice that turned into a throat/clavical stabe when the blade reached where the mark should have been if Sevil was not so able to dodge things. Rune Eater contunied to rain hell upon Sevilin's gear, slicing for anything that might look like it was useful in a fight. THe neck slash/stabe attack was followed by a fluid transit ot the next most potent attack from their, an arching slash taht would cleave the head if it ducked back from where it was, the blade following the movement of the body so that if he chose to go forward, the weapon would compensate.
"You disproved my existance. End it or I'll end yours." That was the only way fix this problem.

Onyx's tail was twitching. part of him did indeed what to keep and play with this..oracle look alike. hey, it had a nice body and a rather attractive look. but the other part wanted to see if Omega's blood was red or not. it gave him a feral, almost hungry look, and his eyes roamed and moved over Omega.
"Catawa...you opinion? kill it, eat it, keep it at home in a cage, bury it here? lock it up..?"
Malik got up, and walked across the room, left hand twitching lightly. wouldn't take but a moment. just a little bit, grip the hilt. feel that old strength flow, hear the thoughts of all his servants and slaves and pets..sense the power of those around him that performed magic..like Sevilin and Zahara.
But no, if he laid a hand on it, Piper would know, and he woudl here no end of it. she hated that blade, and the bond it shared to it's wielder. But he'd been without it for a long time. he felt weak, powerless without it aroudn his person. look at that, his hand was sweating. when did that start?

((No it's not...))
Kieran shook his head. "Then obviously you were left behind to give us answers, yes? So why not just give them already?"
Reaching out a hand she placed it on one of Meilikki's gently. "Oh I know how you feel. It's not too pleasant but it seems to get better as it's supposed to. Perhaps not as fast as you would like to feel better though." A soft laugh of sorts, perhaps to keep the mood light. "But yes, I didn't want to bother you until you had a few days to rest. And...I guess it's well...nerve racking but well." Another smile, even if it couldn't be seen. "I'm so glad you're alright Meilikki...I was really worried about you. Franky I had gotten to the point of hurting myself I was so worrie...and I'm sorry we didn't come sooner...I don't know how to make up for that..."
"Disprove your existance....are you that damned vain? We're from different worlds..." What would it take to get this damn drow off of his back? What, playing the weaker party wasn't enough to get away from him. With a sudden move of his own he ducked a little and the rushed Jarlaxel, ramming his shoulder into the other drow's hopefully enough to back him off some. Sevilin wasn't too fond of dying, more being slowly beat to it. "Stop your vain, idiotic rampage...I refuse to lift blade or rune to kill you, if you want your death then seek it from another."

Eyes widened in horror, she saw exactly where that blade was heading and in her mind the blade struck true. Fear clawed at her throat and she screamed, "Noooo!" In a flash she was off her cloak, the book left forgotten on the floor and flying across the field, daggers whipped out. She came at Jarlaxle with all teh force of a rampaging rhino and beagan slashing at him with her daggers. "Lloth damn you both! Idiots! All of you!" She continued to slice at him, even though her hand was killing her, she didn't even feel the pain. Blind rage and fury drove her on and she aimed for the most vulnerable spots including between his legs. Son of a b***h!
