Larien notched two arrows onto the string of her bow and pulled it back to her cheek. Whispering a small spell she let the arrows fly and they both soared towards their targets. Once they hit the arrows exploded with root like branches and started twisting around the orcs and stabbing through them in various locations.

As the team entered the lair of the beast it was rather cold and dark. A few torches were lit on the wall so that a bulky figure could be seen in the center of the room. As they aproached the lump shifted and seemed to stand up, throwing its arms out uleashing a burning wave of fire radiating from its body. The shock wave of flames it sent from its body when it ignited were enough over 800 degrees F. Thinking quickly Epotheros asorbed a large amount of the heat with his sword, leaving a trail behind the swing of a light blue light. It cooled the wave of air down to something that wouldn't fry a person but was still very hot and uncomfortable.
As they he looked back at the creature who had sent the wall of fire at them he saw somthing that had went from a very stoney figure, and turned into a giant inferno. On its forehead was a single eye, but it was brighter than anything else on its body and radiated far more heat. Eptheros tried a jump slash attacking towards the eye but was blocked by one of its arms and throw back almost 40 feet near the walls of the cavern. The heat was so intense from the monsters body that pieces of Epotheros' clothing were singed and burn. Probably if his sword was not designed to withstand extream amounts of heat, the sword would have melted and Epotheros would have not been able to block it.
((This guy is an NPC so I will be controlling him and also there is one post each per round unless I say otherwise.))

Seeing that no one else had decided to attack it and were biding their time Epotheros Summoned the Powerful Speed attack Blazing Feet of the Dragon Lords, in order to boost his spped to such a high level that the monster wouldn't see his attack. He bent his knees and sent a dose of power to the fire like illusion of boots that surounded his feet and launched himself towards the Monster with the tip of his sword aimed at the monsters eye. With out a reaction from the monster the tip imbedded itself into the pool of lava that acted as its eye and jumped away just before the monster could make a swing at him.
When Epotheros landed on the ground the giant monster was flailing all over roaring out loud bellows of pain. It was stumbling around with its hands over its face which left a perfect oppertunity for attack. Epotheros then ran up to the right leg and slashed through the liquid rock causeing the monster to lose his balence and fall forward. When the monster fell is skin turned back into something that was like a stony hide of a rinocerous. Epotheros also found out he was able to cut it though the leisions were insignifigant. and his body was like rock.
At this new sensation of pain the monster got himself back onto his feet and reignited himself, this time though he did not send off a shockwave, but begain to thrash out at the group of Clover, Tramer and Ty. Epotheros stood on the oppostite side of the room out of the beast's line of vision. He then started to form the Blazing Claw of the Dragon Lords on his left hand but this one was different. Instead of a tremendous amount of heat the temperature was that of the room and was slowly dropping as blue swirls of energy formed around it.
"Guys try and divert its attention. Shoot it in the eye, cut it, just buy me some time and get him down on his knees again I have an idea."

keeping to a constant lightning speed, Ty heard Epoth and decided to have some fun with the beast. He quickly placed some rocks of relatively small size under his tounge in its open mouth, just big enough to anoy it but small enough to be hard to get out. He also jabbed his studded staff into each of the beasts ears and removed it just as fast. He then dematerialized and remained hidden propped up on the ceiling. He then paused long enough to hear finish his statement, "...an idea." Thinking to himself, ahhhnd cue!

Entering the lair Clover was confused. She thought the beast would be emmiting heat, but the air was cool. She thought too soon. The beast let out a horrid wave of heat. Luckily Epotheros acted quickly, and they were still alive. She felt her pores open from the heat. Watching Epothros's attacks fail, Clover felt powerless against this magma covered beast. Wind techniques would only cause more problems for the one's trying to defeat it. She stood behind the others. The heat was almost unbearable. When she heard Epotheros, she grabbed an arrow, concentrated a bit of wind around it for power, and released it towards the beast's eye. Hopefully this would help. She was confused when she saw Ty instantly appear on the ceiling. Only glimpses of blurred him were visible to her. She thought he did something to the beast, but she wasn't sure. His movements were too fast.

The rocks Ty had placed in the mouth of the beast soon were melted and became part of him when he reactivated the heat around him. The monster decided to keep his attantion on Ty, while Clover got ready to fire the arrow. The beast turned just when Clover was about to release it and brought up his arm to block it. What he wasn't expecting was that it had a barrier of whind arround it which allowed it to sail right through the liquid rock of his arm, piercing his eye very easily. The monster then went into the same tantrum as before, walking around aimlessly and holding its hands over the eye.
"Ty, Tramer, try and get him back on the ground so he'll be easy to hit. I only have one chance of this working, and that gives me the best odds."
((Larien)) After a few minutes of being in the lair of the monster, the collar around her neck begain to surge with pain. THe darkness that surrounded the beast seemd to speed up the painful pusations the collor emited, and the heat and noise didn't help. Larien soon collasped out of pain, and fell to the ground near the entrance.

Ty, picking up his speed just a bit, caught Larien just before she hit the ground and placed her outside the cave to sheild her from the heat. He then rushed back in and did what appeared to be tying his hands to the wall. He went behind the beast and 2 intertwined threads as thick as arms spread. He also tied to behind the molten thing and on his other side. He returned to the part behind him and grabbed it. the 'rope' began to shrink in distance from the ends to him, as well as becoming elasticy. He aimed his ''slingshot'' about three feet above the ground, right into the back of his legs. He let go, ran between its legs, and stopped right under him. and if my shot doesnt work, then he can trip over the rope trying to get at me...and if he lands on me... ...he'll still be on the ground... ... He stood his staff on end and pushed it down through the ground. "Here kitty-kitty!"

((I'm just going to end this now, we have had horrible participation during this arc.))
As the beast thrashed about in Ty's dark binds it entangled himself in it and fell over. FInding himself in this situation he begain to pusate the liquid rock and begain to free himself from his binds. While he was doing this Epotheros' attack was almost ready. The claw that started off with right red and orange flames was now surrounded by a whisp of a bluish aura. He begain a charge, running as fast as he humanly possible, He then thrust his arm into the beast's head and it hit like a punch, but instead of dissappearing like it usually would do the monster became frozen to a temperature of zero kelvin. The force of the punch was also strong enough to trigger the reation and cause the atoms to lose their shape and fall to the earth in a spray of crystal shards. The only thing that remained was the mask shard, resting in a pile of bluish crystals.
Epotheros then stumbled forward and kneeled on the ground, before saying, "I can't believe absorbing all his heat would work."
Just then there was a clapping sound from some where in the caver. Four dark figure stood on a ledge, they all wore black robs and had white masks. Two of them had the roman numeral "I" inscribed in either red or blue, the two standing next to them had the number "II" on them in corasponding colors. The two with the number 1 on their masks diasappered in what seemed to be an istant while the two others travled extreamly fast but not fast enought to not be seen by the naked eye as a blur.

Standing up and dusting himself off, "What's with them? In any matter, let's get out of here..."
((I think they all left on a vacation of sorts for spring break...that's about this time of year.))

((Sorry I've been on spring break. I return to my dorm room tomorrow so I'll be more active then.))
Clover was amazed when her arrow passed through the beast's blacking arm and into its eye. Knowing there wasn't much else she could do she stepped back. Larien fell, and Ty moved her out of the hot cavern. Clover walked over to her and kneeled beside her, making sure she would stay safe. Clover looked at the collar and frowned. Staying by Larien's side she looked into the cavern and could only hear what was happening. She repositioned her body and peered in to reassure herself that the other's were alright. She noticed that Epotheros was about to attack. Clover watched as the beast seemed to shatter. Then she saw four figures appear in the distance. Clover felt uneasy, and placed herself in front of Larien to act as a barrier just in case.

((I apologize for sounding harsh earlier on, but since was spring break before spring, I mean mine isn't until the last week of March. O_o...))
Epotheros staggered to where the others were at after he picked up the piece of mask. Larien also begain to come to aswell. Epotheros then suggested that they should get back tot he town as soon as possible since he was spent in both physical and magical energy.
As they were walking back tot he town Epotheros begain to explain to them about the creature he saw in the forrest, "At the scene of that massacre in the forrest that we encountered earlier on the creature was very simular to them but he had VII engraved in red on his mask. That one was one a level just below my own. These four you just saw are above my level, and the two with I engraved on their masked have power levels simular to Zant's. I do not believe they are currently concered with us, but do not really care what happens to us. I also believe this is why he didn't make an appearence like he did when Clover and I took down that plant monster."

As we entered the layer the scar from the sorceresses attack began to surge with pain. I stumbled back toward the cave wall barely able to stand. all I could do was watch while the rest of the party fought I soon saw larien collapse I took a step toward her and then fell to my knees from the pain. as I stood there an images of the sorceries flashed though my head “u couldn’t save qortez or trena and u wont be able to save them!” a familiar voice said in my head as soon as the dark figures vanished the pain subsided. I forced myself to my feet and saw that the creature was dead
As we headed to the town epotheros began to tell us about the other time he had encountered these creatures I looked over to epotheros “I have a good idea what these things r….back in the academy we learned about a creature that was surprisingly similar to these whether there the same I don’t know” I passed and looked behind us I then looked back toward epotheros “they have been called many names but in the text I read they referred to them as judges they were once powerful mages that let magic overtake them so that they could right passed wrongs. but something happened that they didn’t expect the power that ran though there veins altered there bodies. changing them into twisted monstrosities and soon overtook there minds by the end all that was left of them was there will to punish the guilty” I said as I walked “but there was no good descriptions of them in the texts. few that have ever seen them live to tell the tell….so these might be something else….something fare worse” I said looking away from epotheros
