Savage Skull Delight

Most people would question the fact that Savage Skull mages decided to align themselves with the Council's interests, but the truth to the matter was, that it all was just nothing more then a coincidence. Just the off chance that both the dark guild as well as the council's goals were headed in the same direction.

Well not so sure the same, just the outcome would be desirable for both. The council was having trouble with some slavers who were shipping out citizens of Fiore to foreign countries, and they had put out an official job request that rewarded anyone who managed to deal with these pest. So under the guise of being legal mages, Harrigan and one of the dark guild's mages had picked up the job from an unaware Rune Knight official. Some dimwitted girl, who mostly tended to paperwork. 
Only because Harrigan had personal interest in the slavers. After some research from his most loyal Pillar, it had turned out that the slavers were part of an underground criminal system who had ties with the formerly presumed perished dark guild, Arachne Orchid. It were probably some remnant mages, who used the name of their former guild to claim a place among the underworld.

Normally, Harrigan would let his mages alone deal with these kind of pests, but since Arachne Orchid was conducting their business on what was perceived as Savage Skull's turf. Harrigan decided to personally deal with the matter himself. Hoping to eradicate whatever is left of Arachne once and for all. And for this he had brought someone with him, a young mage from the guild, whom yet had to prove her skill to him.

Alleria arrived at the meeting place, a little bit late but made it none the less. All clad in black, with matching black cloak on her back and black hood over her head and the not so happy expression on her face. She really wasn't interested in joining this expedition. She has no squabble with slave traders, she usually doesn't give a damn about anything. But under the current circumstances she was force to comply. Call it a test of loyalty. She knows for quite some time that she was under observation, and she doesn't know how they did it but she knows that someone from their guild had something to do with it, limiting her magic output and restricting her from casting some of her more potent spells. So for the time being she has to play nice and do what ever her current master tells her too. Until she finds out the truth and regains her powers back.
And that bring her back to now...

Alleria walks over to the a man who seems to have been waiting for someone for quite some time, and when she was about an arms length halted and in the most sweet voice she could muster, spoke. "Well hello there Harrigan. I hope you didn't wait too long. I would blame the traffic but you know  that would be a lie." There was a smirk on her face as she said those words, after all the time she had spent in that guild she still doesn't trust anyone...most specially the man before her, but losers cant be picky so for now sly remarks and witty comebacks are all she can do. "So where is the new recruit, I am dying to meet her."

Tenno would walk up to the two people and he sighed, he would think himself late seeing the other two there, and he would quickly begin his applogies, then he would look up and introduce himself, "I am Tenno Kurayami" he would smile sheepishly and give a quick bow, then looked back and forth between the two, waiting for any sort of introductions or anything extra sort of things, his pale skin with the dark markings, each marking stood for something to him, his coat and rapier on as always, his hair black as a raven's wing, and went as far as his shoulders, he would then look around really fast and ask them "So what is on the agenda for today?" Tenno did not feel like taking the lead on this one, but he was determined to prove himself that was for certain

Tenno would look at the other two more closely, examining, each for every detail he could get, the gentleman before him seemed rather powerful, and someone he should know but sadly did not yet know who this man truly was, and then a rather cute female not far from him, her green hair rather different but welcomed to his own rather monochromatice appearance, her black cloths seemed to hug her curves rather nicely and Tenno for one was rather appretiative of this fact, then back to the gentleman, the goatee was a rather nice touch to his seemingly well trimmed hair, the red suit was rather nice as well, wonder if it started white and got dyed red from blood or if it was always red, Tenno would shrug as he kept his thoughts to himself

The first to arrive next to Harrigan, was a woman with green hair and clothed in a black attire that would form well around her feminine curves. She was known as Alleria, at least that was the only concrete fact about the woman that Harrigan actually knew. But besides that she was a complete and utter mystery.
Was she powerful? Did she have some sort of personal agenda, or did she just simply didn't care. Harrigan just didn't know, however what he had read about her in past records was that she was indeed powerful once, enough so to be on par with the pervious guild masters of the guild. And that brought him to another question, Alleria has been here long enough to see several guild masters rise to power and eventually fall into their own demise. 
So it was inevitable that Harrigan eventually asked her to accompany him, hoping to see the girl for what she really is. Or at least get some more insight on her motive.

Before Harrigan got the chance to respond to Alleria, the duo got approached by the third member of their small raiding party. A young mage, or at least that was how he appeared. Because of his markings and rather vague attire it was hard to pinpoint how old he really was.

'I already know who you are mister Kurayami, you would do well to remember that.'

The fact that the man introduced himself in front of the guild master, revealed to Harrigan that he wasn't really aware whom he was talking so casually to. And to a certain level it was more amusing then it could be considered an insult. And besides you couldn't really blame him, after all, Harrigan didn't introduced himself often to new recruits. In his view and maybe even exact words, it was considered a waste of time to chitchat with cannon fodder.

But that didn't mean Harrigan was in the complete dark about his members, well besides Alleria that is. As the guild master he made it his business to at least learn and know about his members talents, skills and thirst for blood. And that was the exact reason he choose mister Kurayami to accompany him on this mission. His latent magical ability and spell capacities were highly interesting, and could prove worth while especially when handling the scum that dared to meddle in Savage Skull business.

'Anyway, I called you both here to asses you both, and off course assist me on a small matter. You see, I tend to reach out towards talented mages with great potential. I believe when molded in the right direction they can become more then just a powerful asset. And you mister Kurayami, are exactly that. So in order to see what you are both capable off, I figured you should get a taste of Savage Skull, when some rogue group decides to conduct business what is considered our turf.

Spoken like a true leader. He exuded an aura that was both inspiring and menacing. Guess its only natural specially when it comes to territorial matters. The heart of a leader beats for those who would follow him with fervor and loyalty, a give and take relationship if you will. "I think im going to enjoy this trip." she thought as she kept staring at their leader. Her eyes then wanders towards the other guy. "Oh its him." she had seen him a few times at the mess hall but being as she is, she didn't bother socializing, come to think of it she never does does. This would be the first time she would actually interact with other members of the guild. Alleria waved and winked at the new comer as if acknowledging his presence before turning towards Harrigan.

"So whats the plan? Do we unleash the full fury of the guild or do we do it in a more covert manner?" Of course she had an inkling the the latter would be the better choice. Going full on would raise red flags, they might accomplish what they set out to do but they wont get payed or worse they might end up behind bars. Alleria shivered at that thought. Its true that even if they got caught they wont recognize her with her transformation magic in place. But she also knew that there are hardcore rune knights working for the council that can sniff out deceptive magic and that is what she's afraid off. There she goes again, imagining the worst case scenario even before starting the task.

It seems she was too pre-occupied that she failed to notice that her team mates are already to move out and miss whatever explanation or instructions Harrigan gave out to them. She face palmed her face as she thought "I am so screwed.." and followed both men into the general direction that they were headed.

Tenno would Tilt his head oddly at the older Gentleman, seems even though he had yet to introduce himself, the man knew Tenno, almost as if he was spying or at least just keeping a close eye on him, and the way he spoke to him rather made him seem like he was being impressive at least up to this date, the smooth pale skin of his with his markings would make him seem at least eighteen when in reality he was twenty-four, He would notice the wink the girl gave him and he smirked a little, and then listening to the older mans words, his eyes were fully focused on him, the man spoke like a leader, as if he holds or held a seat of authority, and Tenno would slowly begin to piece it together, The information the man knew of him, the age, his presence he gave off, the way he spoke, Tenno's head would drop 'Such a Dumbass' he thought to himself and he would smile as he lifted his head, saying to him "I applogize, I did not realize I was talking to the guildmaster himself, im rather surprised though at your intrest in me" tenno would give a shrugs as he continued "Not like im Special in anyway"

He of course would speak this after Alleria had asked her questions, they were both valid, and a part of him wanted to do it one way, while another part wanted to do it the other, but as this was the guilds turf, they needed to keep the destruction as low key as possible, to save on their own Expenses, Tenno's right hand would massage its palm on the pommel of his rapier as he nodded and waited for the leader's answer, Tenno was the type to follow when it was needed, and take charge if needed, so he would give his leader a chance before making his sugjestion, meanwhile he would look closer at the female, they were both a like in ways, as they both seemed to keep to themselves when around groups, so he felt oddly connected to her because of this, they were both the quiet type, not like the loudmouths that were in the guild, he would begin to ponder the best way to begin to get to know her better

'As I said mister Kurayami, I take interest in all my mages who show potential, even if they themselves can't see it themselves'

Even though what Harrigan said was true, a more foreboding message was hidden in the tone of his voice. Sure he showed a particular interest in his mages, but it wasn't because he cared for them nor did he do it for them personally. No to them, a well molded mage to his own design was a valuable asset. A weapon of mass destruction if done right. A tool that would benefit the guild and there for himself.

'As for the plan' he continued as a response to the girl with the emerald green hair. 'We will wait for nightfall. We can't risk to get to many attention on us right away, not only from our targets. But also from the Rune Knights and the Lamia Scale. No, we'll go to one of our hide outs in the city, and wait till sundown. Then under the cover of the night sky we will show what happens when you cross Savage Skull.'


After his answers Harrigan lead the two into Hargeon Town, yet not through the main gate as everyone would have done. But instead he walked up to a lonesome cottage just outside the wall of the town. It looked abandoned and rundown, and frankly would probably fall apart with just a fain breeze of wind. To Harrigan it felt like as if the overgrown vegetation was the only thing that kept this building in once piece.


Opening the door with a scraping sound, it revealed that the inside of the small cottage was the same as the outside. If not worse. Run down, with furniture that had been a food source or even nesting ground for rats and mice. And all together didn't gave the impression that this place wasn't really upholding the Savage Skull standards.

'Don't worry, this is just the front appearance' Harrigan said out of nowhere, while he walked over to the fireplace. Which was now a home to spiders and its fallen prey. 
Once there Harrigan reached to what seems to be a dusty old chandelier attached next to the fire place on the wall. And pulled it to the left.

The motion responded with a loud clicking sounds, as if a gear was just moved into place. And a short moment after that, the fireplace cracked open only to reveal a small staircase, carved into the ground. Leading into what seems to be imminent darkness.

Alleria sprawled on the red velvet sofa, if they were going to pass the time away she would rather spend it taking a long nap. Who knew that this existed below that rundown old shack. Just a few moments ago she had her doubt when their master led them to an old raggedy house,  she was totally against entering such a vile place but since she really had no say in the matter she followed them anyway. She wasn't surprised when the inside looked as bad as it did on the outside if not worse, for as they entered the wretched place, its current tenants scurried to find shelter from the intruders. She was about to excuse herself and bolt when low and behold a hidden doorway appeared and one by one they entered and the rest is history.

The hidden room was spacious and it seems the guild spared no jewels in making this place not only fortified but also comfy and quite elegant. From the beautifully engraved ivory archway that both serves as a decoration and a sensor that detects whether the person coming through the passageway was indeed a member of the guild or not , to the walls adorned with intricate runic spells that are both pleasing to the eyes and obscures the rosters magic energy and the furniture that are both stylish and magical in nature. She can already feel the sofa's magic in effect, like she is massages by subtle vibrations and lulled to sleep.

Right now she was oblivious to the world, she cocked her left eye open to see what her teammates are up too but since they were concealed from her view she just closed them again. "Anyway, I'm sure they would wake me up when they need something. Or if its time to go out and bust some bandits."  With that thought she drifted off to sleep.

Tenno was rather surprised to say the least, at Harrigan's remark, Anyone that who shows potential, Tenno wondered the kind of Potential he showed, he would mentally shake his head clear of thoughts when Harrigan spoke of the plan, seemed rather reasonable, night was when Tenno worked best anyway's, then they would head off, Seemed he moved just a moment faster then Alleria, or she purposefully stayed in the back of the pack, and when they came upon the town, he saw the run down hut.

When they approached the Hut and not the Town, Tenno would begin to question what his Guild Master was thinking, hiding in a place like this, it could fall on them at any moment, and when they stepped inside, it got worse?! if that was even possible, But Tenno would still continue to follow behind Harrigan silent as ever, and he noted the Cowering tenets in the corner, he scoffed at their weakness, and wanted to end them there, for many reasons, but he was certain they were here for some reason, then the Guild master pushed aside the chandelier and the Fireplace opened up, and as they approached the room, Tenno could read the runes that was on the wall, these spells were powerful indeed, he knew what each one did thank to his abilities in Ecriture magic, he would watch as Alleria collapsed on the red couch, and he would walk into a dark corner and just stand there, leaning in it, listening as the trapdoor closed to hide their location once more, he waited till Harrigan gave the word to move out, his mind could help but to reel though, with everything that was happening, he didn't know if he was to be Impressed, Honored, or frightened by all of this, only time would tell though

While Alleria took the comfort to place herself in one of the victorian styled sofas in the room, Harrigan would take place on an equally victorian styled chair. Yet unlike taking the full comfort of it, he reached out to the small table in front of it. Only so that he could pull out a drawer, and grabbed what seemed to be a small and carefully carved wooden box.

He slowly put the small box while holding it in both hands, on the surface of the table. And moved with his thumb along the lid of it, until he reached what seemed to be a small iron lock. That with a small push created a small clicking sound, and forced the lid of the box to open. 
Now open, and when standing close enough, the others could see the contents of the box. And if it wasn't in visible range right away, they would notice as soon the moment Harrigan pulled out what appeared to be a small wooden carving of a tower. Now if one put one together, and had noticed the pattern of the actual table they would come quickly to the conclusion, that what Harrigan had conjured from out the drawer itself. Was nothing more then a simple yet expensive looking chess set.

'Tell me mister Kurayami' he eventually said, while placing each chess piece on its purposed quadrant of the board. 'Do you play chess? If so, care to join me for a friendly game?'

Reading from the conceited smirk on Harrigans face, one would know that this was probably anything but a 'friendly game'. More a test of some sorts, a way to asses someones strategic insights and patience. 

If Tenno would accept his invite, he would play a game of intelligence with the master until the light of day had completely faded. Only so that it could make place for the shroud of darkness casted down by the night itself. A moment that would be indicated several hours later by Harrigan, by just saying a few simple words.

'It's time'


At the exact same moment he said that, he removed himself from the game of chess. By standing up from his chair, and surprisingly enough walk over to what seems to be a locked door, vaguely hidden behind a tapestry of the sort. Which he by pushing the handle down opened and thus revealing the dark path that would lead them into the underground sewer system of Hargeon Town. From there on out he would lead the two mages to the exact location of their targets.

"I'm doing this for the money, I'm doing this for the money." Alleria mumbled over and over again as she trodden trough the sludge infested path. Ooze and muck were on the floor, ceiling and on the walls of the sewer. The passage way was big enough to walk trough standing but there was not enough space to float or hover through so she rendered earthbound. The back of her hair would stand up whenever she would step unto something more bulkier and squishier than normal but she dares not look down. If there was one thing to be thankful for was that she chose to wear knee high battle boots today instead of her crimson stiletto heels or walking trough the sewer would have been an arduous task.

For minutes the party traversed trough the underground labyrinth in silence, with nothing but  a measly torch that she pilfered from their secret base to light their way. There was absolutely no way she was walking into the sewers without any form of light. She knew for a fact that sewers were infested with mice,rats and spiders, plus who knows, perhaps there are abandoned exotic pets too which had grown to gigantic proportions living beneath the sewers of Hargeon. Alleria continued to walk through with torch in hand unaware that they were nearing the exit. The only thing in her head right now is to get out of that damned place, and because of that she failed to notice the light from up ahead. Dim yellow light coming from two torches stuck to the wall near the exit and two shadowy figures standing on guard.

The member 'Alleria' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

'Monster Dice' :

Tenno Looked over when he heard the Click of something, and upon looking over he noticed Harrigan setting up a game of Chess, Now it had been some time since Tenno himself had played, but when Harrigan asked him if he played Tenno would begin to talk to him, and such replied with this "Please you may call me Tenno and in no way is Mister needed, now as for chess, yes im rather fond of it to be exact, and I shall play you if you desire" and with that Tenno would walk over to the Victorian style chair across from Harrigan and sat down, flipping his coat so that it would be behind him, the black leather falling down to either side under the arms of the chair, and as soon as Harrigan had set the board up, the game would begin.

After some time, and a couple of defeats, Tenno would be concentrating hard, each time he seemed to get a step closer to victory with each defeat, Harrigan was skilled indeed, and Tenno was so into his plan to finish the game, he almost did not notice Harrigan get up and leave the table, He groaned as he relized this was just his luck, he was finally about to win and it was time to do the mission.

Tenno was walking behind Alleria this time, so the site kept him from noticing the sewer's filth to much, what came to his attention was the dull light up ahead, and Tenno lunged for Alleria, whispering to her "Extinguish that flame" he was hoping to at least Knock the torch out of her hand and for it to drop into the sewage at their feet, Saddly he was to late, and the two Shadowy figures was just of the men holding the torches that was converging on the T intersection they were at, after awhile voices carried from either side "There was a light coming from the tunnel ahead" and the sounds of clanking and Splashing could be heard and Tenno would Swear under his breath, rather Alleria let go of the torch mattered little, With Harrigan leading the way, Tenno didn't know what to do, the Sewer was just wide enough for the three of them to fight shoulder to shoulder, and as the two groups came around the corners, it was easy to count the number of men, there was five in each group so when they converged there was a total of ten men, Tenno sighed, he was glad the other two was there, but soon came the tell tale sign of their fighting prowess.

Tenno would Draw his Rapier as the Guards would slow down to a stop, and they all drew Cutless's, One could tell, by the fact they were down here, the grade of metal for their armor and swords, and the way they held them, these were fresh meat, but Tenno stayed level headed, he knew if he got to cocky one of them could get lucky enough to land a blow, Tenno would take the traditional stance a Fencer would with a foil in hand, His left arm behind his back, his right foot forward, his body turned sideways his right facing out, and the tip pointed up and slanted towards the enemy, his right arm slightly extended out, and his knee's slightly bent, then One of the guards would take charge with the first Question "Who are you, and why are you down here?" By that point Tenno would Activate his Speed Rune, and with it activated he speed forward as if he was a rank higher then what he was, and he would thrust the point of the blade under the plate of the chest plate, piercing the lung of the man, his naturally increased strength helped with this, Tenno did not know what the others would do, but he could not allow himself to be shown up by them.

At that point the other two on either side of Tenno lunged at him, with the one behind the crumpled body of the man Tenno had just pulled his sword from jumped as well, and the two beside him also charged, Tenno had Eliminated one and brought five down upon himself, Tenno would attempt to back away and limit the number back to three while he parried and dodged attacks, at this point it was all he could do to hold off the five soilders the other Four behind them Waited, but was ready to charge at any point one should be cut down, Which Tenno just found the opening to Happen, while Parring a blade he was able to make it slide into the ribcage of one of the other guards, which seemed to make things worse, and with the replacement ready and fresh, ment trouble for the quickly tiring Tenno

Surrounded from all sides, and being in a spot with little space to maneuver. The situation appeared quite problematic to say the least. In fact their movement was so restricted that fighting their enemies head on would probably result in getting in each others way more. Then that it would do actual harm to their opponents.

However there was a positive side to this situation, it seemed that the Savage Skull mages actually stumbled into the hidden entrance the criminals used as their lair for their human trafficking. Also there was off course the fact, these men didn't appear to be that powerful. These were the mere grunts, the fools that were posted with guard duty, in what their enemy perceived as a secret entrance. Deep in the bowels of Hargeon Town.

Tenno Kurayami, had managed to grasp the attention of at least five the enemies the moment he rushed in with ferocious speed. Which quickly backfired at him, the moment the started to gang up and push him back. Alleria, and Harrigan on the other hand had yet to engage the enemy.

Harrigan sighed, he didn't want to engage in battle so early. In fact he was planning to break through the door with pure malicious violence. However with these man fighting them, it would surely make enough noise to at least warn the others. Unless, they would find a way to incapacitate them all at once, so that they could easily be picked off. And be that as it may, Harrigan was perfectly suited for it.

Raising his right arm, so that the palm of his hand would face the group of guards. Harrigan would focus on the latent magical presence in their bodies. Which was small, but enough to use and utilize against them. In his mind, Harrigan would see the magic as some sort of substance that started to boil and become hotter and hotter. While in reality the energy inside of them would compress to such a state, that it eventually couldn't hold any more. And would explode inside of their bodies, and send a powerful sensation of pain as a shockwave through the nerve system itself.

Which resulted in the remaining eight enemies to curls up on the ground, while their bodies staggered from the excruciating pain.

'Now, finish them all off.'

"What the hell?" was her thoughts as Tenno tackled her from behind, but before she could voice out her thoughts, things became clear. Sad though, cause even with her teammates efforts, the small group already noticed the glimmer of light from the torch she carried. What happened next seemed like a blur. Tenno used his skills with the sword to cut down two while Harrigan used his terrifying powers to cripple their enemies with pain, leaving them to strike the coup de grace.

Not wanting her hands to get dirty she summoned her minion Korchin. A rather peculiar bat that was the size of a melon that wields razor sharp wings and claws. "Hiya mistress, been so long since you last summoned me." the bat greeted her in a rather meek voice. "No time for pleasantries, I want you to dispose of those garbage before they get the chance to retreat!" she said as she pointed at the group of men writhing in pain on the sewer floor. That command was music to Korchin's ears, swiftly he sliced through the vital points of the victims body and one by one crimson fountains gushed forth from severed veins, coloring the the walls and floor crimson. The bat bathed in blood came back to his mistress and asked "Are you pleased mistress?" No words were spoken, instead she gave him an evil smile and a light pat on the head.

She then turned her attention to the rest of her team. "Looks like they're okay." Well why wouldn't they be, they had their guild master with them, what could possibly go wrong. No sooner had she thought that, loud resounding clicks went went off in the sewers followed by an eerie gushing sound coming behind them. It seems their presence was detected and they are literally being flushed out of the sewers.

Tenno would l watch as the man dropped writhing in pain, and the guild masters words rang in his ears, but before he could do anything a bat flew past him, and Tenno jumped back from the bat and he was at first on guard towards the bat, then suddenly he noticed the bat was killing the guards, and then flew back to Alleria, Tenno would let out a sigh of relieve as that victory was short lived, as the clicking noise was heard....

Next thing he knew Water and god knows what else was rushing towards them, And when Tenno Ducked to a little alcove to try and avoid a direct impact by the water he tripped, and with this trip he face planted on the wall he was trying to get to, and he thought at first he was sliding down the brick wall, when in reality it was pulling away from him, and he didn't realize it till he fell straight down onto his face into some bricks on the floor, but he did not even think twice, he shouted for his commrads as he stood up and moved forward into the side tunnel, he was unlucky at luck some times, cause after they closed up the enterance to that part of the tunnel to stop the water from hitting them, they would spin around and follow the pathway.

Shortly down the pathway they could hear footsteps, and shouts, seems there was an extra person per group who headed back to report the light, Tenno would sigh at this unfortunate event and he would ready his rapier, luckily this area was bigger after they had gotten past the wall they entered from.

'Monster Dice' :

Auorra watched behind Tenno her dark cloak covering her face.She smirked when she heard the enemy scream in pain.It was music to her ears.Not that anyone would know that as I have to pretend to be good to make everyone underestimate me and when the time is right I'll seige power in savage skull surprising everyone.Well so far she gotten Thorn a C rank mage to think she's innocent.But there's no innocence in savage skull.She walked to Tenno and dropped her hood and the dark rose tattoo covering her right cheek was vibrant.She softly said to him and the wind carried her voice,"You alright".Her green eyes was soften though her lips were in a thin line.She wore a black top and a ninja like pants,effective for moving around quickly.Though she painted her lips with a rose like color.Her voice carried concern for Tenno or at least she hopped it did.

The situation surprisingly turned dire in a way even Harrigan couldn't have predicted. Being aware of their presence in the sewers, the enemy showed their cleverness by literally planning on flushing them out by releasing a wall of water. That is usually used to flush out the garbage in the sewer system. Only now the garbage was replaced with the Savage Skull mages.

With a roaring deafening sound the water came at them, and gave the impression that is was alive. Like a large stampeding animal that caught in its own fury and was coming straight for them. And being fully aware of the force water could have, even Harrigan knew that he couldn't be standing there and take on the impact without being taken away.

By quick thinking Harrigan grabbed the nearest sword from the ground, one of the weapons the thugs dropped when they were struck down. And plunged it with all his might into the wall. Just in time for him to hold on to as the water came crashing down into them. Taking away everything that wasn't attached to the solid structure of the sewer itself.

As quickly as it came it vanished further into the sewers, leaving Harrigan with nothing but a wet suit. And an untamable anger. After Harrigan was rather fond of his appearance, and never did like the fact that it would become dirty.


OOC: Aurrora, this is a job with Alleria, Kura and me. I'm sorry but you can't post in this xD

Torrents of water flushed out of the many pipes that connected the sewer tunnels. Alleria thought of outrunning the incoming maelstrom but the slippery floor proved  to be her bane. In a matter of seconds, she was swallowed up the the rushing water only to be heaved out again a few meters off from where they originally were.

Alleria stumbled as she tried to get herself off the sewer floor. Beads of water rolled of her forehead, nose and chin. She coughed and gagged as if trying to expel any remnants of the water that she might have accidentally swallowed.  She gnashed her teeth in anger, someone was going to pay for this. Its one thing to be drenched with cold water but cold and dirty water with god knows what else.

The dark mage had not fully recovered when she felt a strong presence appeared out of nowhere. She turned her head in search of its origin, but no one was around save for her team mates. It was then that she noticed the water around her beginning to rise, forming four tendrils about to entangle her.

"Mistress watch out!" cried the bat as it came flying to her aide. The faithful familiar pushing her mistress out of harms way. The Korchin however was snagged by the water tendrils which formed into a globe of water, encasing and suffocating it.

"The culprit must be around, but where?" Alleria thought. Whoever was doing this was well versed in his craft, launching an attack whilst masking his presence from his enemies. With a sigh she spoke "I really don't want to do this but it seems i have no choice." A red mark appeared on her forehead and purple aura started seeping out of her, like mist it swirled around her, cloaking her in purple light. She turned towards her familiar who had acquired the same mark on its forehead. "Now lets find out where your hiding." She took a deep breath and let out a loud ear curdling shriek.
