Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well you see... I don't have any inborn teleportation spells at hand... though I have used many transportaion scrolls in the past! In fact.. I actually used one to get to our launching post to find this hidden kingdom! Not to mention we fell through some sort of teleportation field to get to this place... So I'd say I'm rather quite familar with it! Though I do experiance some "random variables" from time to time... What is it I can do to help?"

Gerbo asked at the end of his rambling. The excitment of battle and magic had him wouned up tighter than a compressed srping.

"I think we'll be able to work with it," he says. "Just close your eyes and concentrate on the teleportation field."

With that, he closes his eyes and begins a quiet chant. After a bit of effort, you two manage to get the spell to take effect, and you feel yourselves snapped off to another part of the complex. This part looks abandoned, well beyond the fighting that you hear coming from ahead of you.

"Okay," the mage says. "If I got the location right, the Albatross should be somewhere behind us." He motions towards the two hallways behind you, off to your left and right and then curving so they head directly back. "Right or left? I don't think it really matters in the end, but we might have an easier trip if we double back and help clear out the wave of demons assaulting the side corridor. Or we could run and hope we're out of here before anything breaks the line. Either way, once we're out I can teleport clear away and you can be off with your airship."

"Well then let us hold them off! It will guarantee our survival that much more, the more we take care of now! Lets do this!"

You run back to the front lines that the city's soldiers are defending. There don't seem to be many left: you see one sergeant, and three footsoldiers. "Thank goodness backup finally got here!" the sergeant excalims when he sees you. "They're breaking lines all over the place, and we were just about at our breaking point." Looking around, you see eight dead footsoldiers and dozens of dead demons out in the hall.

"Look out, here come some more!"

A vanguard of Grinders approaches. Everyone forms up to present a strong front against them, and you two end up fighting six of them. Three each try to team up on you.

"Aye! Watch out for there attacks Firu, They will strike if you get to close!"

With that said, Gerbo jumped back and gather a small amount of magical power, blasting a fireball against the 3 assaulting him.

(Fireball, 15 to one of them, 6 to another one, Dice for defense.)

"Alrighty than! You guys arn't as tough as you look!"

With that Gerbo charged another large fireball and flung it directly at the pile of grinders still attacking him.

Firu! Hold off just a little longer! I'll come tou your aid as soon as I finish these ones off!

(Fireball the injured one rollover to final grinder, Dice for defense)

(GC where are you! crying

It's been 5 days since your last post!)

The round proceeds much the same as the last one, except with Firu apparently covering up, allowing himself to avoid any damage while not dealing any either. The two Grinders together are not capable of harming Gerbo.

At the end of the round, a new combatant charges on to the scene: A lone Breaker, running straight to attack Gerbo in the next round, teaming up with the Grinder currently attacking the gnome wizard. Firu's three Grinders seem content to keep him occupied for the time being.

Gerbo: 8/15 Life, 9 AP, 0 MP.
Firu: 21/25 Life, 1 AP, 9 MP. (+3 Combat.)

Party pool: 5 AP, 3 MP.

Breaker: 30/30 Life.
Firu's Grinders: 1, 15, 15.
Gerbo's Grinder: 3.
