Flint chuckles slightly at Karee and Stonefire snorts. " You know anger is a sure sign of denial.." " Stonefire don't you dare start. " " What happens if I do?" Flint just sighs and turns back to Sol'Vak. " A good plan. I can hold the bubble around them. " She glances down at the demons as they race along underneath them. " We're going to land by the lake and continue down beside it before cutting out to the water right? "

"Correct, and if you cover the bubble shield I'll make sure we have enough air inside to last us until we hit shore." "Yeah, you wouldn't want to run out of air... You also wouldn't want to be blind, speaking of which, do you have a way of defogging a bubble? 'Cause it may be very hot and heavy down there under the surface of the water." Sol'Vak growls. "Because demons emanate warmth and are rather large, heeheehee." Sol'Vak continues growling. Karee dips her wings and all of a sudden Sol'Vak's growling goes up an octave, and then stops. He glares at Karee. "What? We'll be there soon, you want to be spotted before your glorious plan can show how glorious it is?" Sol'Vak continues growling and glaring. "I need a sign that reads in common 'Beware of Horndog' Heeheehee."

Flint shakes her head at Karee as the huge lake that Camogli is set along comes into view. " I'm pretty sure Stonefire could take care of the defogging.. If the need should arise. " The wolf nods slightly and Flint falls silent, watching the sun glisten on the water. They decend slowly and finally land at the edge of the lake about ten miles north of the city. Flint leaps off of Karee and gives the bird a nod as an acknolegment of her carrying them. " Do we want to enter the water here or are we going to walk a ways first? "

Sol'Vak drops off Karee's back and pats her lightly. Still somewhat miffed about the occurence on the ride here. "I think we should walk a bit closer. No use straining a bubble and importing air unnecessarily. Besides, there's only So far they can send patrols." "And what of me? When do I strike?" Sol'Vak taps the bracelet on his upper-arm and nods once. "I'll call you when the time's right. We may as well strike when you fly overhead. That way when the villagers are gawking at the burning bird we can surprise strike them." "I note that the more evolved your plan becomes the less blood I get to spill." "You'll hardly get to spill any if you don't scout out a good position and prepare yourself now."
The demons begin bouncing into the small clearing by the lake Karee had landed in, Zlasulon drops from the treetops and bows before Sol'Vak. "Milord, we have a piece of difficulty. The rest of the troops and I have been discussing things and we've just about unanimously agreed that your plan for the invasion of this city involves this rather large lake here."
"I know, none of you can swim, I've already accounted for that, and good intuition, my plan does indeed involve the lake."
"Ah, so then... You don't expect us to swim?"
"Not at all"
Ronzax pipes up "I Told you guys he wouldn't expect us to swim anywhere!" Yarzehmar growls and tosses a quick rock at Ronzax's helmet, it bounces off with a hollow "Tunk" sound. "Oh shut up. By the Dark Lords you get annoying after a while." Laaszad lands and cringes slightly. "So what Are we doing with the lake?"
"All in good time gentlemen. C'mon, we're moving slowly through the forest from here on until we're ready to enact the plan. Flint. Whenever you're ready to begin, just move into position. I'll follow your lead."

Flint nods then gives Stonefire a look containing some unspoken command. He grunts and takes the lead through the forest, senses alert for any sign of humanity. They travel in this fashion for some time before Stonefire finally stops. The buildings of Comagli are just visible through a part in the trees. Stonefire glances back at the group. " This is probably the best place to stop. Any farther and we could be spotted " Flint makes her way to the edge of the lake and turns to look the demons over. " Alright. There's only so large I can make this thing without wearing myself out, so I'll need you soliders in a relatively small circle around Sol'Vak, Stonefire and myself. " She then looks at Sol'Vak. " I'm ready to go when you are. "

Sol'Vak nods to the soldiers towards Flint.
Khimaj grimaces. "You don't seriously expect us all to get in a magic barrier and walk underwater, do you?"
Sol'Vak growls and spins on Khimaj. "You'll get in the damned bubble or I'll spill your entrails right here."
Khimaj continues grimacing but obediently steps close to Flint. Ronzax's enthusiasm wanes and he assumes a look of terror and stands near Flint, the rest line up and assume a position as close to Flint as possible without actually touching her, clearly Sol'Vak's threat about treatment had sat with them.
Sol'Vak steps into the small cramped group and frowns. "Would this be any easier if you sapped me for energy or perhaps I fed you energy? I have more than enough to level this city. But... If we can't get there in the first place if the bubble collapses. Our soldiers, as resilient as they are, aren't exactly grade A swimmers."
Ronzax speaks up "We can swim. Just not for very far, and not in full armor." Yarzehmar growls again. "Shut up! Geez, it's bad enough being stuck here without you giving the commander any ideas about us!"
Sol'Vak frowns, "I can't expect any of you to swim anywhere, because peeling back the armor is a last resort measure."
Ronzax speaks again "What if we blasted a path clear using Darkfire?" Xetziel shakes his head "There aren't enough of us trained in that art, and even if there were, we're trying to discreetly sneak up on the enemy, not make a sizzling corridor of terror that tells them exactly where we are. Not to mention the physical drain that would have, it's bad enough that two of our mages are going to have to provide a bubble And breathable air." Herizmrah snorts. "The air's for the commander and his lady friend, we can breathe sulfurous air for hours." Kelrahz frowns "Where are we supposed to get sulfur?" Yarzehmar slaps his forehead and growls. "You're practically covered in it! Not to mention that Ronzax, Zrythmir, and Mahkvez can all pull it from the ground if necessary."
Sol'Vak scratches his chin. "Do it."
Xerzokai arches an eyebrow. "Do what?"
"The sulfur, pull it up. I'll give Flint, Stonefire, and myself, air masks, then I don't have to provide oxygen for the entire bubble, you all can breathe sulfur-oxygen and I won't need to refresh the oxygen nearly as often. That way I can provide Flint with the extra magic without any extra drain on myself. 'Cause 15 demons, a wolf, and two half-humans are gonna be hard to cover in one bubble."
Mahkvez nods in agreement and draws a small rod from his small pack. "Yes sir." He puts the rod to the ground and begins chanting in the dark tongue. The orb stirring the earth beneath it, attempting to pull sulfur from a distance. Mahkvez grunts "This ground has barely any sulfur in it. A little help gents?" Ronzax and Zrythmir pull similar rods out of their packs and place them to the ground, soon thereafter a small collection of sulfur is on the ground.
"Should I ask any of you about the science involved in this breathing process?"
Amhraz snorts "Not if you want to keep your ears from falling off in boredom you don't."
"Har har, let's get this show on the road." Sol'Vak slaps Flint on the shoulder and begins letting off some of his energy into her, soon after, he focuses and the three of them get ridiculous looking air bubbles over their heads, like diving helmets. "Let's go. Before this becomes any more difficult than it needs to be."

Flint holds out one hand, palm up, and begins gathering her energy. Her hand glows with a shimmering purple globe that quickly expands to form a purple tinted bubble around the entire group. She glances down at Stonefire who grunts. " Alright. Stonefire will keep track of where we are using the city people's minds and tell me when we get into position. " Flint looks over at Sol'Vak cutting off the flow of energy he's feeding her. " That should be plenty to sustain the barrier until we get there, combined with my own energy of course. Let's go. " She inticates for the demon in front of her to walk and the group moves slowly into the water. They travel slowly along the lake floor for an unmeasurable amount of time before Stonefire finally nudges Flint's leg and nods in direction of shore. Flint looks over at Sol'Vak and says through thoughtspeech, " We're here, So when you're ready. "

Sol'Vak nods and puts his hand on the bracelet on his upper-arm, his thought blasts out "NOW!"
Karee rises up from the trees she was using to conceal her presence and in a few beats of her wings is streaking across the sky, she comes down low over the lake and just before running into the buildings she pulls up and blasts by so close to the houses she knocks several people down and rattles windows and doors in her wake. Several people are heard screaming.
Sol'Vak points towards the village and begins walking to indicate the beginning of the invasion.

Flint holds the bubble up until the demons rise completely out of the water then she lets the magic she was using on it reform into a blast of telekinetic energy that quickly takes out three unlucky townsfolk in it's path and slammed into a near by house, causing it to shudder and then collapse in on itself. She then pulls out her staff and runs at a pair of guards with shocked and terrified looks on their faces. The first guard recovers too slow and is sliced viciously in half, but the second raises his sword to block Flint's onslaught and send her backwards with a strong push. She stumbles slightly but recovers and leaps at him again. The guard tries again to block but out of nowhere Stonefire lauches himself at the man's legs, knocking him straight into Flint's blade which goes clean through his throat.She kicks the corpse of her staff with look of disgust. " I didn't Need your help you know. " Stonefire chuckles. " Of course you didn't. But I wanted a little fun. "

Sol'Vak takes a running head start, still standing knee deep in the water, his movements slow as he sloshes his way to the shore. He watches as Flint takes on multiples of people and shakes his head, "Skillfully done..."
Xerzokai breaks from the group and rushes forward, blade drawn and held out in front of himself like a jousting lance. He rushes past Sol'Vak while watching Flint's actions. "You're jealous of her aren't you?"
Sol'Vak scoffs. "Shut your red a** up!"
Xerzokai chuckles and runs a villager through, lights the entire bleeding corpse on fire and spins his blade in a fashion so the burning villager flies off and into one of the straw huts.
Sol'Vak finally makes it up onto shore and bounces from the ground to the rooftops, before long finding a trio of guards about to attempt and ambush on Flint he drops onto one with both feet outstretched and uses his daggers to slice a descending line into the other two's chests before removing the blades and grinning viciously at the guard he's standing on's protests he stabs the man directly inbetween the shoulder blades and twists the daggers, seperating the spinal cord and ripping the blades back out, he begins igniting huts.
The remaining 14 demons stand at the shore. A woman from a hut screams "It's just as the prophecy predicted!" And then faints in the window sill, soon being impaled by a weapon thrown from a guard's arm, severed by Xerzokai. The 14 rush into the town in seperate directions, blood flaying and dirt flying in their paths.

Flint continues along the outer edge of the town, setting each house she passes alight with a blast of lightning and cutting down anyone unfortunate enough to cross her line of sight. Stonefire spots a teenage girl trying to sneak away with her two younger brothers and silently pursues them, keeping out of sight so they think they are safe. Just as they reach the small fishing boat they plan to use as an escape pod, he lets out a soft howl and begins galloping toward them with his fangs bared. The girl shrieks and rushes to untie the boat but Stonefire is upon them before her fingers touch the knot. He knocks her backwards then grabs one of her little brothers by the head, powerful jaws crushing his tiny skull with a haunting crunch then tossing his broken body at his older sister. The girl screams in horror and tries to get out of the way, but in doing so she trips and bumps into her other brother, who is paralized with shock and fear, pushing him off the dock into the water. Stonefire pounces on her, his weight crushing her spine, and rips a chunk from her neck leaving the child in the water to drown. Meanwhile. Flint grins as she spots a Noble fleeing on horseback. She quickly takes hold of the horse's mind , making it wheel around and gallope in her direction. The Noble tries desparately to conrtol the horse but with no succes. He leaps from the saddle and lands with a hard thud on the ground. Flint's grin widens and she rushes him with her staff, keeping a part of her mind on the horse to keep it in place. After all, there might be valubles in the saddle bags. The Nobleman manages to roll away from her first rush but her second strike goes right through his shoulder and into the ground. She pulls out her staff and strips the man of his purse then makes her way the horse, which haden't moved since losing it's rider. She quickly removes the tack and releases the animal's mind making it panic and bolt toward the woods. Flint examines the loot and finds quite a few coins in that saddle bags as well as the dead man's purse. She smiles to herself and wanders off again to continue her contribution to the destruction of Camgoli.

Sol'Vak almost dances through the street, blades spinning, he begins skipping merrily and spins, slicing open the stomach of a villager caught unaware. Sol'Vak bounces into the air and brings his blades down fiercely, removing just enough of one woman's neck that her head tilts off the neck and hangs behind her as she falls to the ground, looking for all the world like a disturbed laid-back hood. Sol'Vak begins humming as he hacks and slashes his way through the villagers. He comes upon a crowd of them, a mob, if you will. He grins and his eyes gleam. A woman shrieks in terror, a man yells out "It's the Dark Elven Prince!" "Prince Nothing!" Sol'Vak flips upside down and pushes off the ground hard, coming into a raised spin he spreads his limbs wide of himself and his image flickers momentarily and then, in a puff of smoke he seemingly turns into a phoenix, the crowd panicks and begins darting in seperate directions.
Karee blasts fire into the surrounding area, killing and incinerating about a dozen villagers, she swoops down, grabs a villager and rips his head off with her beak, she throws him down into a building roof, causing the roof to cave in. She lets loose an ear-splitting screech and lets loose another blast of fire into the village, lighting a few houses and villagers on fire.
Wrykven holds his own against three armed villagers, finishing them off by slicing through their wooden weapons and letting his blade out wide from his body he spins and removes the three from their waistlines. Amhraz impales a woman upon his blade and throws her corpse at a barking dog. Khimaj snorts in disdain at a man on the end of his blade, the man's eyes wide with shock and blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. "Pathetic mortals." He swings the blade up and back, throwing the man into the sky. Ronzax's clawed hands light up with Darkfire and the energy releases in an explosion, levelling three houses simultaneously. "Top That Zrythmir!" Zrythmir grins and accepts the challenge, he channels darkfire into the blade of his sword and swings the sword diagonally down to the left, a wave of darkfire ripples out and goes through three houses, seemingly stopping at that. Ronzax laughs "Is that the Best you can do?" Zrythmir holds up a silencing hand, the three buildings the darkfire had hit slide off at the same angle the darkfire had hit them, revealing a row behind them of three similar buildings, also falling, and three behind those. Ronzax stands mouth agape, Yarzehmar drops from the rooftops yelling and his blade outstretched, he seemed to be going straight for Ronzax. Ronzax jumps and turns around just in time to see Yarzehmar's entire blade sink vertically into a guard with his sword arm up. "You owe me one." Yarzehmar grins. Ronzax stutters "S-s-sure pal, wh-whatever you say man."

Stonefire grins feircly as a guard charges at him with his spear pointed at Stonefire's chest. He leaps to the side, grabs the spear in his jaws and swings it around with a sharp jerk of his head, sending the guard flying backwards and into a near by house. The guard staggers back to his feet only to find himself on his back with Stonefire on his chest snarling in his face. " Such a stupid creature. " His thoughts projected into the humans mind. " Perhaps I should eat him.. Rip off the limbs first and let him watch as I devour his flesh.. " He lets the thoughts trail off as the guard screams in a panic and tries desperatly to push Stonefire off his chest. " Please! By the Gods have mercy! " Stonefire grins and rips the man's face off, crushing his bones and then leaving the horrid corpse laying there, abandoned.
Flint collapses a house and flings part of the roof at a fleeing villige woman, crushing her beneath it. She grins cruelly and nods in satisfaction before continuing along, cutting down any and all in her path and setting houses and buildings around her aflame with electric fire. She suddenly leaps onto a near by wagon a from there to the roof of a house who's residents were still inside, no doubt thinking that if they didn't flee they wouldn't be noticed. Flint laughs to herself at the human's idiocy and plunges her staff through the roof of the house, making the woman and children inside scream in fear. She then jumps up and kicks down hard on the weakened roof, making it cave in and Flint falls right into the center of the house. She leaps at the woman and slices clean through her. Then, before any of the other family members can react she blasts out the house's supports and dashes out the door as it crashes in on itself.

Sol'Vak's blades light aflame and he cuts clean through the support beams on one of the buildings, running a circle around it, dragging his blade through the wall, he stops at the beginning of the cut and kicks the top half of the building. It slides sideways an inch and he growls. Just then a demon lunges from off another roof and body slams the side of the building, it sliding sideways and effectively crushing a few of the inhabitants. Sol'Vak and Ronzax jump over the bottom remains of the hut and make quick work of the survivors. Sol'Vak jumps out and begins running east. Ronzax jumps out and runs south. Sol'Vak dashes past a villager looking for an opening to run and cuts his throat in a quick clean swipe, the arterial blood spattering Sol'Vak's face, he wipes it off with the sleeve of his robes and grins at the gurgling body on the ground. He slices out two of the supports on a hut and then kicks them inwards, effectively toppling the building towards himself. He lights the roof on fire and begins pondering. He moves hastily for the local Blacksmith's. Upon entry he cuts down a man seemingly looking for weaponry. The place looked pretty cleaned out, except for... "Bingo." Sol'Vak grabs the buckets of axel grease and runs them out into the streets. He puts his fingers to his lips and whistles, Zelodir, Laaszad, and Drak'Lazath dash into the area. "You rang?" Sol'Vak holds up the buckets. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking gents?" All three demons grin and grab a bucket for themselves. The four split off in different directions. In a matter of moments a 1500 yard area is coated in flames. Sol'Vak laughs maniacally. Showily he jumps up onto the roof of a burning building. "This is the future of all of mankind! You can Bow and become slaves to the demon race! Or we shall burn you out of your very lives! Every man, woman, and child. Shall die by our hands. And any who wish to disagree. May they speak now!" Sol'Vak grins maliciously as a male villager steps forward. "You will NEVER Rule U-" The villager is suddenly cut off as Drak'Lazath runs him through from behind. "You were saying?" Sol'Vak chuckles and jumps off the roof in a front flip, the building he was upon crumbling as he lands.

Flint cackles manically as what's left of her adversary crumples to the ground with a rather solid thud. The man's face is scortched and cracked in several places from a lightning bolt and his torso is almost completely separated from the lower half of his body, innerds littering the cobblestone street. A shout draws Flint's attention to a small party of armed soliders coming around the corner. She grins as they form a circle around her, swords and spears pointed at her throat, and hurls her staff like a spear into one man's chest, dodging another's sword. The man who appears to be the highest in ranking shouts again and the all rest of the soliders charge at once. Flint leaps into the air, backflipping over one man's head and landing a kick right in the center of his back that makes a loud cracking sound as his spine snaps. She jogs back a ways, putting a bit of distance between herself and her enemies, then turns and begins to gather lightning around her hands, making it form into a kind of long ribbon-like object. The soliders rush at her and the lead solider aims a stab at her stomach which Flint dodges then lashes out with her ribbon wrapping it around the man's wrist, sending a shock up his arm that makes him stagger and fall backwards. She then lashes the sparking ribbon in a sideways motion, knocking several of the soliders off their feet to be electricuited before they hit the ground. With only three opponents left standing Flint charges at them, striking the first two down with the lightning and dodging under the third's spear. She jumps back onto her hands kicks the solider's weapon from his hands before continuing into a handspring. She then leaps up and over him reaching down and grabbing him by the throat and letting her momentum carry her into a flip and snap his neck. Flint pants slightly from the exertion and retrieves her staff from a soliders corpse. Stonefire, who had been watching, steps out into the open. " That was a bit over done don't you think? " Flint looks up and grins. " Can't a girl be fancy once in a while? " She then looks off at the flames in the other parts of town. " Come on. I think it's time we check in with Sol'Vak "
