Welcome to Gaia! ::

Beta had slunk off down one of the wider tunnels that lead to the storerooms. Large as she might be the hybrid beast preffered to fight in more cluttered areas. Here she could use tall racks of shelving for cover and topple crates upon the enemy with brute force or wind magic.

(( Another miss, I love you too Gaia dice. ))

Everything that had happened to this point, it was stuff that was only really affecting the two legs in a manner that was emotional. Eyphah though, he could really care less. So what, so there were bodies, there were always bodies, and so what that they were sticking together strange monsters, he was sure that they had a unique taste that was all their own. If anything looking around the large cavern only made him think about what he might be able to do with all of these tasty creations... provided of course that he was able to get his claws on a good sized cook pot. The Diabi had zero interest in any of it passed what he could stuff down his gullet and if there were any treasure that could be had and shared with the pretty Kioda.

A shame that D hadn't come along, all the more boring stuff would likely have appealed to that one. He seemed to enjoy thinking and plotting more then fighting for reasons beyond Eyphah's comprehension. No matter, it just meant more fun for himself and Kioda was all he thought to himself as he spotted a rather sizable two legs, one that had an interesting scent to him, and set to following after him. That one didn't seem to be following the group, did that mean that he knew something the others did? The location of a treasure horde perhaps? This greedy thought in mind Eyphah glanced over at Kioda, giving a little whistle to get her attention, before he skulked along after Maslin, curious as to where he was going. As they reached another cavern, this one filled with all manner of junk piled up, and much to his surprise it seemed as though there was something in the area other then himself and the two legs he'd followed, something snarling and unfriendly.

The two legs then attacked it... hurling a rather interesting if somewhat blinding attack the way of the odd smelling... thing. What was that? It smelled a little like a drakein but with something else mixed in. Another of those patched up creatures? His tail lashed from side to side, a purring sound escaping from his throat. So, the two legs was fighting... well, whatever was in here, huh? Sounded like fun! He would follow after his lead, attack, and then once the creature was dead he would see what there was to be had in this place. With so much stuff piled up there was bound to be something interesting to be had, food, treasure, and whatever else the strange creatures had collected. He and Kioda would get dibs but he supposed that the miiiight be able to share with the two legs.

Giving a snarl he lunged forth from the shadows that he blended in so well with, jaws snapping at the strange ayrala beast, he missed, but who cared? They had all night to dance he thought to himself, his sharp, scythe like claws clicking against the ground, showing his eagerness to fight.

Kioda wasn't too keen on any of the two legged beasts lives. The filthy bird's could very well be slaughtered. For their heartless actions towards the other races that were not their own. The soulless pits could finish rotting for all they were worth. And as for the higher than thou Dovaa. Well they too could well be slaughtered. Keh, thinking they are above us all. Kioda rumbled as she moved along.

Something had picked up the other Drakein's attention and she wasn't interested in being left alone on Eowyn. Besides the strange male was somewhat fascinating and offered her a small measure of joy among the two legged beasts. Swishing her tail over the top of the sand by instinct, Kioda moved to erase what she could of their tracks. She had no desire to be followed, stalked, hunted or any of the other possible outcomes the filthy races could think up. Shifting as he whistled, Kioda rumbled to acknowledge she had heard him.

Following his gaze Kioda's head dropped to her shoulders. Looking ahead to see a strange Dovaa prancing about Kioda huffed. If they were going to kill that one, she would only play goal tender. She wasn't in the mood to be shedding to much blood. Not at the moment.

A gust of wind picking up from the cave forced the Ysali to recoil. It was awful! Like the stench of rotting flesh and foul blood. Blood of dragons and Drakein and other strange manner of beasts.

Kioda kept her thoughts and words politely to herself as she followed carefully behind. Curious to know what the source of the smell was and if the strange races had caused this trouble. What she hadn't expected was to find a Drakein with a mish mash of other limbs and parts of other creatures.

Rage boiled within her chest. "You can't possibly have wanted this? Hold still while I help to separate those abominations from your body! I will set you free!!" Kioda roared at the sight. Lunging forward with her teeth ready to bear down into the first part of flesh that wasn't Drakein.

Kilian was close on Erionda's heels as they entered the new room, wanting to stay as near to her as possible in case whatever waited ahead was dangerous. As well as he knew she could take care of herself - and, even, seemed stubbornly insistent on proving it as often as possible - he didn't want to risk anything happening to either of them, and from prior experience, a location such as this called for caution. There was never any harm in that. He stopped abruptly in his tracks, enough so to cause Amadia to run into the back of his legs, unprepared for the sudden halt. A low growl formed in the Drakein's throat as she looked around to see what had caused Kilian to stop walking. Another patchwork monster stood before them. This one looked like it had once been a drakein of some sort, draconic in appearance, but still ghastly and horrid looking.

Then, true to her character, Erionda - of course - rushed directly for it. Kilian's eyes widened as Erionda took off after it. "Erionda!" He yelled as he took off behind her, quickly pulling his daggers out of their sheath in preparation to help her with the beast. Would a little more warning not have been in order? He shook his head as he shot past a young Dovaa girl that had been trying to attack the beast. Clearly, she looked too small and young to take it on herself anyway, and it was likely good they had arrived when they did.

He stopped short of where Erionda now stood, readying himself, and watched as she looked around the cavern, taking her eyes away from her enemy. Of course - run directly for the beast, and then ignore it. She was an amazing fighter and highly capable, Kilian knew, but sometimes he wondered at her tactics. Then, the beast began to move. Kilian gritted his teeth as the beast moved closer to her, as though stalkin in on prey. He cursed and took off running, his daggers at the ready. As he neared the beast, it turned and swung it's tail at him, knocking his daggers out of his hand and across the cave. "Damn it." He cursed again as he jumped back next to Erionda.

Kioda let out a fierce roar of pain as she felt the attack land on her. Her own attacks seemed useless against the creature. Why wasn't it letting her help free her body from all the other creatures attached to it. Why was it fighting against her help? A Drakein shouldn't bee mashed together like this. She just couldn't understand what was going on.

"Why wont you let me help you?" Kioda spat digging her claws into the ground and aiming her teeth for another snap at the creatures legs. If she ended up killing the patchwork creature in the process, at least it could die a true Drakein and not this horrifying salad of other creatures.

Eyphah was pleased to see that Kioda was entering the battle though really he didn't understand what it was that she was doing. Attempting to make the weird, stitched up abomination into a real Drakein once more it seemed. A foolish waste of time, they should just end the beast instead of worrying about what it was now. A monster was a monster, an opponent was an opponent, and in the end they all because a tasty snack... but no reason for him to really interfere in what the Ysali was doing. Let her go about this her own way he thought to himself as he went charging forward, crashing into the abomination of a Drakein, his scythe like claws tearing into her, teeth snapping at her.

As he did so he could hear movement around them, more two-legs were joining the fray, what a waste... that meant if there happened to be any sort of treasure laying about then they might want a share. It was something he hated the sound of but if nothing else he doubted very highly that anyone of them would want the meat.

Ara stared at her hands for a moment more before looking up as a black blur ran past her. She blinked her eyes as an Oblivionite tried to attack the monster. Was that the one from before? The one who let the hybrid out of that horrid cage? She watched as the male failed at attacking and lost his weapons in the process.

She clenched her fists tightly and forgot completely about using her magic. This monster was an abomination. It had to be dealt with. With her mind in a rage she couldn't hold back she shot off, fists at the ready. Her attack, however, was cut short by the creature's tail making contact with her stomach. Her breath was forced out of her as she was thrown back against one of the cave walls.
