Crystal Guardians

 

Fitheach Eun whispers: " Is that a volcano?"

Saphira Mistwalker sniffs the air and wrinkles her nose. "Must be, I smell sulfur."

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh my, we found it. I didn't think we would.”

Oh my, we found it!

Talia.Sunsong sneezes.

Fitheach Eun: "Surely this cave must be guarded?"

Fiesty Lotus: I would imagine.

Talia.Sunsong : "I don't see why the portal master didn't just give us what we want."

Savage Taurus: “Yea, what’s up with that?”

Saphira Mistwalker sighs. "That would be too easy."

Fiesty Lotus looks sympathetically at Fae Talia. "Me neither"

Savage Taurus: “What a jerk.”

Fitheach Eun:” I think he just likes being a jerk."

Saphira Mistwalker: “The power goes to their heads, they just have to make it hard on everyone else.”

Rorn nods in agreement with the adults, although he isn't really sure what they mean.

Fitheach Eun: “Let's see if we can get closer?”

Saphira Mistwalker sighs again. "Do we try to sneak in, or just charge?"

Fitheach Eun: "Hmmmm, there is a lot to said for charging?"

Fiesty Lotus: “Yes, I think surprise is best.”

Savage Taurus: “Are we sure we want to do this?”

Fitheach Eun looks levelly at Savage: " Yes we are."

Fiesty Lotus looks at savage with pleading eyes.

Savage Taurus sighs.

Fitheach Eun: "Ready then?"

Talia.Sunsong pulls out bent magic wand.

Saphira Mistwalker grimaces at the wand, but nods. "Let's do this."

Fiesty Lotus brings up her staff.

Fitheach Eun stops short, seeing the crystal beings.

Fitheach Eun stops short, seeing the crystal beings.

Fiesty Lotus: “Try ter talk to them?”

Saphira Mistwalker draws her daggers, but then gasps as she sees the crystalline guards.

Saphira Mistwalker: “I don't think these are going to be something I can stab.”

Crystal guardian stands in front of the cave entrance and stares at the intruders.

Savage Taurus: “I don’t think they want us going in.”

Saphira Mistwalker: “Um, greetings?”

Fitheach Eun smiles at the guards and asks politely: " You don't have any spare rainbow crystals do you?"

Fiesty Lotus stifles a groan.

Crystal Guardian rumbles threateningly and emits something that sounds like a grinding growl.

Saphira Mistwalker shrugs. "Direct and honest, it's worth a try.."

Fiesty Lotus shrugs and takes a few steps forward.

The other elementals close in behind him, blocking the entrance to the cave

Saphira Mistwalker shakes her head and takes wing.

Fitheach Eun stares at the crystal being.

Rorn puffs up his chest and tries to look big. He growls at the crystal creature but the growl sounds as loud as a kitten's growl.

Rorn puffs up his chest.

Saphira Mistwalker tries to look menacing as she hovers before one of the guardians. "Don't make me hurt you."

Fitheach Eun: “I wonder how many more are inside?”

The elemental swats at the tiny creature in irritation.

Fitheach Eun ponders..."Hmmm, CRYSTAL; CRYSTAL CONDUCTS..."

Rorn yelps and dodges away from the crystal creature.

Saphira Mistwalker hisses in anger. "Leave him alone!"

Fiesty Lotus: “Yup and it will shatter too.”

Talia.Sunsong : "Hey you, rock head. Don't touch my baby dragon!"

Saphira Mistwalker breathes a stream of dragon fire at the crystal guard.

Fitheach Eun: “Yes resonance should help.”

Saphira Mistwalker lands so she can get closer.

Saphira Mistwalker frowns, as her fire is having little effect on the guard. "This is not going to be easy."

Saphira Mistwalker: Oh great, another one.

Talia.Sunsong  jiggles her bent magic wand. A few sparks fly out and then it dies.

Saphira Mistwalker releases stream after stream of fire, hoping to heat up the crystal guard enough to damage it.

Saphira releases a stream of fire.

Seeing Saph fighting, Rorn flies in to help.

Fiesty Lotus looks around for some large rocks.

Rorn zips up to the crystal being and tries to ram it's head.

Fitheach Eun starts to call some thunder and lightning.

Saphira Mistwalker takes a deep breath, hoping she doesn't run out of fire before they can beat these things.

Fiesty Lotus starts low chants and stares in apprehension at the crystal creatures.

Saphira Mistwalker looks desperately at the druids, hoping they can do something.

Saphira looks desperately at the Druids.

Fitheach Eun watches Savage and Talia chase the crystal being

Fitheach Eun: OK, “I guess we deal with these then...”

Fiesty Lotus notices that the crystal creature who Saphira was flaming is a different color than he was before.

Saphira Mistwalker hisses very unlady-like in Draconic, "Xsioul tonashi (Damnable rocks)!"

Fitheach Eun takes a deep breath and calls to the storm.

Saphira Mistwalker tries another stream of fire.

Fiesty Lotus takes aim and sends a rock spinning at the creatures arm. The arm shatters.

Saphira Mistwalker cheers, "Good shot Lady Fiesty!"

Fitheach Eun: Advancing on the blue headed one she calls lightning and strikes the creature. Electrical charges flash around it and it glows.

Electrical charges flash around it.

The creature growls and waves it's free arm in anger.

Fiesty Lotus: “Lady Saphira. Please keep heating the creatures”

Saphira Mistwalker nods and takes another deep breath.

Fiesty Lotus sends another rock at the creature. It misses. "Dang, I gotta practice."

 Fitheach Eun calls another bolt and it keeps glowing brightly with flashing lights dancing about.

Saphira Mistwalker pants. "I can't do much more of this, I'm running out of fire"

Fiesty Lotus begins sending rock after rock at the creatures.

Suddenly sparks fly from the being and it collapses.

Saphira Mistwalker gives a victorious hiss, "Yes! We got one of them.

Fiesty Lotus aims for the  ruby headed creature.

Saphira Mistwalker concentrates her fire on the other guard.

Fitheach Eun advances on the one inside the cave and calls a thundercloud.

Fitheach Eun: “Ok purple is yours I'll get the one inside.”

Fiesty Lotus sends a large rock at the ruby elementals head. It explodes.

It explodes!

Saphira Mistwalker nods and hisses in satisfaction. "You're getting better Lady Fiesty, good job."

Saphira Mistwalker directs her remaining fire on the last guard.

Fiesty Lotus advances on the remaining guard.

Saphira Mistwalker takes a deep breath and lets loose her last stream of fire.

Fitheach Eun centers the cloud over it and calls thunder, vibrating the air around it.

Fiesty Lotus tears up the ground beneath the elemental so that it stumbles.

Saphira Mistwalker pants for breath,

Fiesty Lotus throws another boulder at the guard.

Fitheach Eun calls more thunder as the creature starts to resonate. As the rock strikes it, it shatters completely.

Saphira Mistwalker ducks as crystal pieces go flying.

Fiesty Lotus heaves a sigh and trembles as her energy is close to depleted.

Fitheach Eun heads up the tunnel, feeling a bit unsteady.

They head up the tunnel.

Fiesty Lotus follows quietly.

Saphira Mistwalker follows, drawing her daggers just in case.

Fiesty Lotus catches sight of a  smaller elemental in the corner but it scurries away.

Fitheach Eun looks around: "Wow this is some cave."

Fitheach Eun: "Hey where are Savage and Talia?"

Saphira Mistwalker looks around, "I don't know, I lost track of them while we were fighting the guards."

Fiesty Lotus “Let’s do this quick then.”

The three survey the cave and see the coveted rainbow crystals in a corner of the cave.

The three survey the cave.

Druid Fitheach puts on her gloves before testing the rainbow crystal  cluster. She gently wiggles each shard.

Fitheach Eun “This one is loose.”

Fiesty Lotus pulls out a specially lined bag and holds it out for the crystal.

Seeing the task about done, Saphira Mistwalker dashes out of the cave and looks around for the rest of their group.

Saphira Mistwalker shouts “I see them up the mountain.”

Druid Fitheach and Druid Fiesty hastily drag the crystal shard and debris into the bag and secure it before running out to meet Saphira and the others.
