Welcome to Gaia! ::

~+~

The thief leader; feeling his strength being sapped by divine intervention, rushes forwards to attack as quick as possible. However, he wobbles slightly and instead of smashing into the paladin with full force, only manages to scrape the side of Poa's defensive barrier... He is repeled straight into the waiting jaws of Vincent. Thrashed and bashed, he stumbles a way. Luckily for him, the third strike just grazes his overcoat. Cutting a large swath of cloth off. He mumbles about something but before he could react Bellamin swings in. Dodging left and right, the thief leader barely manages to get away from Bellamin. However a quick trip from Solstice sends the nimble man to the ground. Verandi smiles and casts a spell. In an instant, one of the large stone tiles is lifted off the ground by a growing stalagmite with unatural speed. He hits flies into the air and smashes into the earth with a bone shattering thud. But he manages to get up... And smile as his men are ripped apart.

The nearest thief gets a large spinning drill to the chest from 4 Co. With a harsh scream, the drill rips into the poor fellow sending him for a spin. The oddest thing is... While stuck ontop of a rapidly rotating rotor of death, he still seemed to hold onto a human form... Although his fine clothing seems to be in shambles. Black goo drips from 4 Co.'s arm like blood. When it hits the floor, it evaporates in an instant; like a shadow being vanquished by a light.

The second thief takes the purifitcation dart right to the chest. Looking down at the odd artefact in doesn't notice the duo rushing towards it. Taking twin daggers to the chest and a heap of venom to the blood stream, the thief staggers back only to stumble into the mauling ball of fur known as Misery. With one swift motion, the thief throws Misery off of him hard into the pavement and promply seems to spazm. The black evaporating blood which poured down his neck and chest seems to stop flowing and the thief stands errect. The shade of the buildings hide his eyes.

The third thief takes a whole harbriner's serenade in painfilled screams. He stops attacking Lujeta and prompty starts stumbling away. Black ooze creeps out of his ears, nose, and eye-sockets.

With a crash and a flash of light, the fourth thief takes a blast of energy in the back while missing a good opportunity to deal damage to Firu. The flames quickly extinguish as he stands up; royally pissed.

The sixth thief punts Misery away. It doesn't do anything else before the gravity swords swings upward in a rage of molten ore however. Sliced in twain, the two sides of the thief manages to stumble away before reconecting with a sickening slurping noise. The massive ammounts of black goo evaporate before they even hit the floor.

Aroused by the tectonic action, a large ammount of copy-cat thiefs spy thier bretherin in need. Once again looking like copy cats; they all start to converge on you. These thief seem to pour out of every shadowy corner of the plaza. Both guards and adventuer's alike seem to be losing the fight due to sheer numbers.

Being near these beings, you all feel slightly sick. And with 4 Co's case, you detect a large ammount of radiation and electromagnetic energy radiating of of the thieves.

Thieves will attack everyone. They all will drain either defense or attack

Thief leader with grieve the loss of his attack power.
Thief Lieutenant will be running in from the fountain side and promptly beat on whatever happens to be the closest.

Bellamin and Solstice will spend AP to get their weapons, while Verandi will help clear the dance floor.

[[You don't have to kill all of them by the way.]]
