The particular effect of the runic ring? Both a spell that enhanced the strengths of armor and weaponry, while also weakening both at the same time. Of course if ones armor and such bared the runes...they weren't affected in the negative aspect. Another arrow put into place and alight with runes, aimed for the second arm of the creature, looking to disable. At this close range...it would really hurt.
Oh good she was hoping for that to happen. Easy use of momentum and natural elven agility and she flipped herself up, using her father's whip to steady herself on the creatures shoulders. Second whip was cracked so it wrapped grabbed one of her daggers and brought it to her. Thusly both were dropped, and she grasped the dagger in both hands, plunging it at the top of the horror's exoskeleton, just at the top of where it's shoulder's would be.
Kieran took to the lower half of the creature, charging with a blade that had those glowing runes running up the length. Weapons that were once deadly if used right now were all the more so. Andallian elves had developed their own breed of magics. First going for the thinner lower legs, seeing as they were the easiest part of exoskeleton to break through with said scimitar, not to mention it would go toward taking down a creature that towered them all.

The breakers surrounded Kat one looked at her.
"Do Nawt Feer. Wez Duty to Guard Peeples here."
The things got bigger, and lightning struck them but they felt nothing. one swung hsi hammer at the things the other was like a statue standing guard over the girl.
Moonstone..well..they didn't react to him at all.
Onyx was enjoying this. but it was getting more nad more dangerous. not just from enemies..but the green haz growing on teh floor. the necromantic spells seepign through halls still. it was like a poisonus fume, and as long as the necromancers casting it lived, so did it. until they wished otherwise. So..up after the beetle, going through the hole it made int eh ceiling above, and let malik handle himself and the beholder thing.

The horror made a clacking noise in it's throat, which pretty much passed as a scream, though not of pain. The dagger did not penatrate the exoscelton, even if it did sink in someways. Trough it's head backwords, the horror crashed it's back against the wall, trying to pin Piper betwen his back and the wall. One long foot cicked out, and while recieveing a nice gash alng it's length effectivly managed to kick at Keiran. Backwards motion allowed one hook to come up, swinging over the shoulder and scrashing into the structure Fiana was standing on.
Morelle scurried onto Onyx's shoulder, barking at the green mist, his fur raising. Oh, he didn't like that at all. There were little people in this fortress...he bumped his forhead into Onyx's cheek. Didn't you say once that you were someone's gaurdian?

"What the hell are you?" She scraemed. this place was creepy! Her right side was buring so hot she thought her skin was going to crakle the way a chicken's did after it came out of the oven. thats what it felt like anyways. "AaaaaaAAAaaaaAAA" Kat said, somehting between a cry and a scream. "I want to go home!"

"Bode. But I beleive she is with her father, and not part of this conflict. or do you have some way to find out otherwise, little Morelle?"
The Breaker looked back down at Kat.
"Wez ish Master's..um...gauds? poonishers?...um..wez is Breakers. wez portects youz."
The other was busy tryign to hit the big red thing with his hammer..and not hit the big winged white thing that was being helpful.

Okay...so Malik was right. Swords were better sometimes, they had a deeper penetration length. Still hated them. Though a grit of her teeth and a little outcry at hitting the wall...there went her left shoulder. Back against the wall seh had one foot on it's back, the other braced on it's neck, pushing out to keep herself from being pushed back farther...tough that was no easy task seeing as this thing outweighted her. Bracing her upper arms, elbows, and her right shoulder on the wall, she put more into her pushing. If antything the resistance would be a distraction.
Kieran hit the ground and skidded a foot or two before stopping himself with his sword and flipping back up to his feet. That was gonna bruise in the morning. However he had an apiffany. The thing had an exoskeleton...who stabbed bugs? No one...they either lit them on fire, or smashed them. "Araukaquesse, on amin naur!"
An elvish curse word escaped her as her arrow zinged by the arm that was her intended target got swung back and caused her to stumble back and hit the floor at the resounding shaking from the strike on the wall under her. Shakign her head and grabbing up her bow she stood slowly and reached back, grabbing another arrow. "Maskan, har amin elandi aul iirtal." The runes along her bow and arrow shifted to new ones and colors as well.A small point of red light blinked into existence at the very tip of that arrow she had held at ready. It grew in its intensity until trails of flame burst forth from the arrow tip, trailing back toward Fianna in tendrils. Letting it go it hit in the middle of the first runic circle, making it shift to a red color, as well as the runes shift color on Kieran's and Piper's weapons, both ones already embeded in the creature and those still in hand thus giving them a fire and heat property. If it had andallian runes, Fianna could manipulate it.

"Right, gotcha. Maters... Poonisher. Whatever that is."
Something came dangerously close and she almost jumped back into the flames, "Ah!" Her eyes widened even further.
"Okay Poonishers can we do something about this fire?" she could feel her hair beginning to singe from the heat. Her right arm was indeed begiunning to crackle. "its uih... getting kinda big here... ah!"

"Oo da hawt stuffz. ya we'z fix it."
And since they didn't feel pain, one took to slapping and stmping and licking his hands and patting down the fire, the other kept to defendign her from the blob things.
Malik was dealing with things on hsi end, sending a message to piper mentally.
I'm going to kill that Drow. and how are you faring? you safe? kieran and fianna with you?

All of these red flashing lights were hurting his poor eyes. Stupid elves and their eyes. He didn't understand what the elvish words meant, but he understood the tone. Oushing out from the wall he bent and swung at Keiran.
He barked, looking down into the poison. I can look for them easily enough. And with that, just jumped into the gorwing haze.
Moosntone was able to take down one of the fleshy things, they didn't offer much in the way of resistnace, and it seemed that the fear were their only weapons. The breakers were doing their part as well, and it wasn't taking them long to widdle down the little pack.
The beholder was taking a beating, Ebony sliced open his underbelly apilling what little contents was actually inside, and Malvolence found it's mark and penatrated it's eye.

Kat lightly tapped her arm as the flames began to die down. "ug.... that burns, your right its hot stuff."
Ocassionaly she could see Moonstones wings in amongsth the blobs and lightinging and the... Poonishers, whatever that meant. "Moonstone!" She heard her self yell. "You had better... ah!" a piece of the cielign smacked down inches from her body.

Piper gave a little yelp as the horror pushed away and thus pulled away her resistance she had on it that was holding her up, and she hit the floor, head hitting back against the wall. Though through the haze of the moment that cracklign noise of a mental communicaton went off between her ears before she heard Malik's voice follow. They're both with me...and we're holding our own...relatively safe but hurting. Keep your head on your own, I'm fine. Lie or not, she had always been oen to tell him not to worry and to protect himself. Pushing up from the floor she strifed to the side and took up her bow, grabbing one of those mithril tipped arrows from her quiver on the floor. Runes on her bow heated the metal of the arrow, despite it's lack of runes itself. Aim and fire of it, landing an arrow in the joint of one of the horror's arms. Her bow had always been her greatest strength. For the moment, Adrenaline overrode the pain of her arm and shoulder that braced her bow.
Just as Piper's arrow hit that arm joint, one of Fianna's did as well, sparkign flame in the wound as well. Both arrows hitting together at opposite directions took to making a woudn that went clear through. A shot by both elves only made possible by the bond they shared and the foresight they gained in battles from communion as well. Of course the second she had that one off, she took to another, working on matching Piper's shots.
Kieran took a new approach with his own weapon. Flipping it in his hand so that the pommel of his sword was now the direct weapon, blade of his sword braced back towards himself agaisnt his arm. Best way to get to something like this was to smash it. Which he took to, charging in and using the blunt fire imbued sword hilt to crack the natural armor.

Malik kicked aside the corpse of the beholder, kicking it right back down the hole it came from, and the golems were taking care of the other insectoid things..and back on Nightmare, riding up and after teh beetle. and once he found that, being assualted and held at relative bay by breakers and golems, he lept on it's back and started to punch into teh back, and bashing it with the hilt of his sword, in the smae manner Kieran was trying to puncture through the exoskeleton.
The Breaker that wasn't fighting picked up Kat by the collar like a real cat, and carried her outof the way, while the globs were dealing with it's partner and moon, though without the beholder's will to bind them they would probably go back to the astral plane.
Onyx glided, though having to cover his mouth some from the fumes, trying to keep an eye on Morelle to make sure bode wasn't in harm's way, though he was sure she woudl be with her father if anything and her dad would certainly be able to hold his own.

The bholder lay at the bottom of the tunnle, steam rolling out form his dead innards.
The blobs could indeed not hold themselves to the material plane, and those that were not dead limped back to their astral plain. The fires started by the lightening stricks and heat did not stop however, and continued to grow rapidly as it caught hold of whatever was next to it. Would the poisnonss gas proove to be flamable....
The horror now had one usless arm, and was effectivly being beaten back. With his limited sight, and the general mayhem moving around the room, he could not tell where each elf in turn was. His exosceleton was cracking, exposing the dlicate flesh underneath.
The beetle creature had not made any ground, Malik's minions holding it back, if not quit hurting it.
Morelle did not have any special abilites or ammunities, he simply did little in regards for his own life. If he was requied to search out someone in a growing mist of dangerous poison, he would do so, and think of the consequences later. He foloowed scents as best he could.
The small conduit child waved at Onyx from a hanging changelier, where two imps also sat, watching the vah as he approached. "Gaurdian Onyx! What's all this green stuff? And who are all the bug things?" She sounded frightened as any child would be in such a situation.
See? they weren't gone from the fight, they were busy making sure people were safe and out of harms way. Handy little thing that phasing.
Four other imps watched as the fortress shook and trembled and smoked in it's foundations. What was the point now? They turned tail as one and walked away. They would come back when there was something worth destroying.
Moonstone followed the breakers and Kat, keeping an eye out for any other intruders.
Knowing what was good for them and what was not, two, three, or perhaps even four creatures foudn their way out of the fortress and into the dark. Theyb effectivly covered their numbers, and their tracks.

"Bad things. and the mist is poisonus. Malik defending his home."
But a swoop down, and picking up Morelle, and up tot eh chandiler attaching claws to teh cieling by it and handing morelle over to Bode.
"Well..you imps kep everyone here safe and sound. I got more things to fight, and Moon to find. where's your father by the way?"
And off he went gliding through the halls looking for Moon.
The breakers took Moon and Kat to Piper and Kieran, followign the sounds of conflict, and started with thier hammers on teh hook horrow, while handing Kat to Moon. the one stayed to fight, the other went back and started patting out and smashing out the flames.
Malik gave his command through Malvolence, and the poisonus gas retreated, the necromancers that summoned it disipating the spell. though the moved to the entry point, and began teh work of sealing the hole and starting repairs, by ordering thier golems left to do the required work, and using the limited conjuration spells to create the workable stone and wood and mortar. the master was not going to be happy.
Malik was still riding on the flailing beetle, trying to puncture through it's armor while the golems and breakers kept it at bay. and once through, he grabbed flesh with his hand, and let fly the Harm touch, rippling through that things body with wave of msucle spasming painful and debilitating necrotic energy.
