[h1]Nidhogg[/h1] Nidhogg couldn't help but give a quick round of applause and a chuckle at Shutler's little speech, finding it to be rather entertaining, only to hiss his disapporval as the man summoned a bunch of weak looking shadow creatures, fodder that Nidhogg had no intention of chasing. He was going to just turn and leave, only to find himself being addressed by an unimpressive man, only giving him a bored look in return before giving a slight sigh. "Fine, if you insist." Nidhogg then made a motion with his hand, causing 4 spires of bone to rise infrint of him. The spires would open up to reveal corpse-like amalgamations of flesh and bone step out, sniffing and bitinf at the air as they looked around, waiting for their master's orders. Nidhogg stepped up to each one, pulling out a small pouch from one of his pockets and sticking a small shard of bone into each one, before doing similar for his meat puppet, who had walked over to the group after it had been sent flying away. Then, with a snap of fingers, the done was filled with the sounds of cracking bones, monstrous howling, and squelching flesh as they all shifted into more scaled and reptilian monstrosities. The first four were about the size of a man, with thick plate-like scales covering their mottled bodies, their fangs a slimy black that clashed disgustingly with their pale, swollen tongues. Claws as long and Shari as knives clacked against each other and the ground from where they protruded from the undead hands and feat of these abominations. And their eyes, glowing with an eerie violet light, gave off quite the sinister feeling. The meat puppet looked similar, except he was about double the size of the others, with better armor and a more savage appearance. The meat puppet growled, getting in a position like he was ready to bound up the walls thus second to end the shadows that instant. Nidhogg would pat his creatures on their back, giving them a grand smile as he checked them over for any deficiencies. "Now then, my beauties will take the brunt of the combat while you lot attack from the back, making sure that you aim to destroy, want to be sure their dead before changing targets. Any questions? No? Good, because it's time to fuck this guy up." Nidhogg would say with a confident grin, turning to face the shadow creatures, his own undead monsters giving a haunting roar of challenge. Than he would disappear in a burst of speed too fast for all but maybe Ferrin to really see. . . and would launch a bone-breaking kick to Robin's chest, aiming to sending him flying towards where Dawn and Cody where position, a ways away from the fighting. As this was happening, 4 four ivory spikes would launch themselves from the ground, launching with high speed and power put behind them in an effort to take advantage of the element of surprise, each one infused with a good amount of necrotic energy that would quickly began to cause his flesh and bone to decay and rot. Ferrin would be assaulted by the largest creature and one other, while the final 3 would go after the hopefully injured Lux. While they were distracted, Nidhogg would raise a wall of bone between the two groups, all the way to the ceiling, and through it as he made a secondary dome above him, Dawn, Robin, and Cody. After covering the area, mixing with part of the old dome as well to make up its other wall, it would shrink down until it was half the height and size of the previous done, creating a small fighting arena-type environment. The walls of this dome were 3 feet thick(the previous dome had walls about 6 inches thick) and twice as durable, and the inside would be illuminated by a sinister purple glow emanating from the walls, a sign of the necrotic energy being pumped into it. Touching the wall would be greatly painful and unpleasant. This would also make it so that people trying to get in would he met with a particularly nasty surprise. Not only that, but given the close quarters, that meant their was a limit amount of oxygen, something that Nidhogg could go a lot longer without then any of the mages he was facing, so they'd have to beat him quick and conserve oxygen. . or risk suffocation. "Now then, I'm going to kill the one who pissed me off by telling me what I need to do. That's all I plan to do, and if you two wish to continue you living, you'll allow it. Otherwise, you'll all die. Also, considering I've hit shadow creatures in here, if your boss can hear, stay away from the mouthy one, and you can do whatever. So. . . what's it going to be?" While Nishogg was smiling and talking in a normal tone of voice, it wasn't hard to see the seething rage that pulsed just beneath the surface of his facade. He meant every word he said, and if Dawn and Cody got involved, would show no mercy. [@Silvan Haven][@Lunarlors34][@Natsume Honnaji][@Prince of Seraphs][@Expolar][@Crimson Raven] [hider=Setting the scene] So to better explain the scene, the large dome is still intact over the area, but their is now a smaller, thicker dome separating Dawn, Robin, and Cody from Lux and Ferrin. Lux and Ferrin now have to deal with Shutler's creatures and mine, whole Robin has to deal with just Nidhogg. Cody and Dawn will also most likely have to deal with Nidhogg as well as the shadow creatures trapped in the small dome( about a quarter of them. The small dome is irradiated with necrotic energy so if you touch it and are a living being, you won't be having a good time.[/hider]
