Welcome to Gaia! ::

((*dances to caramell dansen* ^_^))

((Well, I didn't mean to rush him. That was YOUR idea! *points accusingly at ... HBH scream xp rofl

And no I don't. But after seeing five hundred thousand signatures about it, I listened to caramell dansen on youtube.))

((Elfing? I don't even want to know. [which means, EXPLAIN IT TO ME ANYWAY. rofl ]))

((. . . rofl ))

Clem stepped onto the battlefield to see Magus and Mindbreaker in combat. he watched in awe as the Mercury blade was made, identifying it by the properties he knew from the Eopian Periodic Table of Elements (which is like the modern one, but lacks the artificial elements and some very rare ones.) When the lightning destroyed it, he knew he had to act. He took out two chemical vials, ones that were explicitly labled to not be mixed. removing an empty jar and glass cap he frowned at the loss of material for his action. he dumped portions of the chemicals into the bottle and capped it before throwing the bottle at Bael. The jar shattered, but the chemical reaction was now complete. Clem had created a small Chlorine gas bomb.

"Magus, Get out of there if you want to live!" He warned before fishing out a mask. "or use some magic to keep that gas away from us! I only have one gas mask, but I'm sure the Ganzi and the weirdo will be fine!"

(Scientists with chemicals are very dangerous people when provoked.)

(oh... still, Chlorine gas!)

((xDDD is chlorine gas flammable? 'Cuz the blade would set it off.))

((Actually, they ran, yes, but only closer to the house. They were actually between Raedou and Farfarello's position at the house.))

Ephlas immediately covered the area with a strong breeze, murmuring inaudible incantations instead of relying on Deep Magic.

The lightning had been a particularly risky use of Deep Magic.

The gas dispersed, but Bael wasn't to be seen. Ephlas wandered closer to Raedou, neatly entering the remaining quicksilver into a small flask for later use.

He was, of course, keeping a strong lookout for Bael.

Bael was actually using the second of the cursors. It had held an idiotic spell for changing the color of bread, so after much experimentation, Bael had succeeded in scribing one of the Ganzi techniques to it - the technique of teleportation.

With a flash, Bael appeared before Ephlas, swiping with the blade and then disappearing too fast for retaliation. Then another appearance, behind Ephlas, inflicting another light wound with the blade.

Then Bael appeared a third time- [ i]BOOM.

Lightning had struck the spot only inches between Bael and Ephlas, knocking them both back. Another bolt struck from high above, this time being somewhat closer to Raedou and Perrault. Then a third, and a fourth.

Five more bolts simultaneously struck the ground in different areas. Then fourteen more, in different areas.

Ephlas looked up at the sky, from his sprawled position across the ground. The sky was dark and treacherous. Somehow, possibly and adverse effect of Ephlas' use of Deep Magic, the Great Storm had been intensified greatly. Possibly a hundredfold or greater.

Ephlas immediately spun himself away from the spot at which he had just been located, only barely avoiding a bolt of lightning. Two more almost struck Ephlas mid-flight.

When he landed, Ephlas immediately put all his strength into lifted the rocks around him into a solid dome above his head. This took a tremendous amount of energy, especially since lightning struck it nonstop.

"The Storm," Ephlas cried out to Raedou and Perrault, who were near, "it's manifesting itself in Power!"

It would have been a wise choice for Raedou and Perrault to either retreat to the safety of Ephlas' dome, or to retreat to the safety of the house. Whichever was closer.

Ephlas did not know where Clem was.

Bael was also nowhere to be found.

Ephlas began moving towards the home almost immediately, without waiting to see what Perrault and Raedou's choice would be.

The Storm's Wrath was imminent.
