Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sin watched as the reptiles quickly ran away, changing back into her elven form, and just as another roar caused the volcano to shake, the elf began to lose her balance. A calm hand rested on her shoulder and pulled her close. Glancing up, Sintariun sighed at seeing Zaid and thanked him before looking to Azurai and taking his hand and squeezing it gently in thanking.

"Now what," Zaid stated to no one in particular.

Sari, who didn't anything about volcanoes besides that rumbling usually lead to eruptions, was alarmed when the rumbling began. "Is the volcano going to erupt?" she asked, her brow furrowed with worry. She stood up slowly, ready to bolt for the door at any moment. She wasn't sure if one of her shields could withstand magma, and she wasn't going to stick around to see if they could if the volcano did in fact erupt.

Zen took one more look around to make sure no other salamanders were nearby, ready to pop out at a moments notice. "I think we should keep moving. If we stay here, we're only going to attract more attention. And we do have a bit of a time limit." he told the others before starting down the path again.

Zaid nodded to Azurai though with an almost targeting gaze before seeing Sin rush past him to follow the rogue. Clenching his jaw, the elf quickly followed with his light cape billowing behind him. Sin caught up to the rogue and put some distance between her and Zaid so he wouldn't hear her question, " Azurai, Hwod oli ayl kwomkiz af nocemj ed ayd af dwez orevi liorezdekorru..."

Zaid cursed as he lost more ground thanks to his armor but there was no chance to stop and lighten his load and he pretty much needed all the armor he wore, all he could do was try and keep up. At least Sin was protected partially by the rogue...just as long as he didn't try anything with her.

(What are our chances of making it out of this alive realistically...)

Keeping his weapon at the ready, Zen did his best to keep up with those of the group that were in front. Half of him wanted to just get the orb and get out before the volcano erupted and before the group ran into anything else nasty. But the other half was curious as to what kind of creatures would actually live in a volcano. But after the fight with the fire salamanders, he really hoped he wouldn't find the answer.

((Just to say Atomic, Azurai was referring to Zen^^'))

"Honestly?..." Azurai looked back at and then away from Sin, then after a moment he smiled and looked back at her "Your better off not knowing" He said before picking up speed.

Falon's eyes strayed too the scene below their rocky path. As they continued the magma below was slowly rising. Anything but a good sign. Casting a part of his magical sense forward to check for any living danger, he let out a curse in drow. "Everyone, heads up, something big and bads up ahead" He said, already searching through his book bag for the appropriate text.

As the group made their way down the path, they'd soon find themselves on a large circular rock formation, about 25 feet in diameter. There, they would find a discouraging sight. Not only was the magma only 7 feet below this lowered section of the path, but currently Ramiel was fighting something that appeared as if it was molten rock that had actually sprung to life.

It let out a gurgled roar as it noticed the new intruders upon its turf. This beast was large, cutting off what remained of the path. They would have to defeat it to continue on. The ground sizzled beneath it as parts of it dripped off the side below.

In response to Alwyn's question, Azurai stepped behind the group casually, then, with both hands, he shoved Falon and Sari out in front of everyone else. Still managing to make all his actions seem rather casual.
