*Slows down in one of the rows*

@Dynamics

*the explosions and I near the outskirts of the town*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Yeah. It'll be fine.
*Walks quickly and looks through the shelves*

@Dynamics

*the explosions sound further and further away as Spirit follows the explosions toward the edge of the town*
-Spectre- All the explosions seem to be coming from the same direction. I hope Spirit is taking care of this.

*Runs into the shop*

@Dynamics

*the ice shield and ice armour melt away from the blast, but I am unharmed* Phew. *listens for other explosions, but then notices another smell further down the street and quickly throws up another shield, not needing armour this time; I go toward it*
-Spectre- He's using different types of magic, somehow. Can you still deal with this?

*Runs alongside*

@Dynamics

*a wind blows against me and I smell a little bit of sulfur; my face falls* Ice Dragon Shield! Ice Dragon Armour! *ice encases me and a shield of ice surrounds the area where the scent of sulfur exists; the air around me explodes loudly but the shield contains the blast*
-Spectre- *stops at the shop and turns around when I hear the blast* That does not sound good.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

I run. Let's go.

@Dynamics

-Spectre- *goes up the streets to the shop*
*remains, striking down monsters as soon as they come up, muttering to myself* I could let a few of them rise before I get rid of all of them, but that could cause too much destruction. Ugh.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Show me.

@Dynamics

-I'll stay and hold them off.
-Spectre- *nods and hops back on my cycle* Need a ride, David?
-That would be weird.
-Spectre- There'll be two seats.
-Still weird.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Find me a good magic shop and I'll do it.

@Dynamics

-Spectre- Best one is a few blocks back up this very street, called Fine Divining.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Can you not hold them off?

@Dynamics

Easily. *With a thin whip of ice, slices clean through a monster that has just gotten up* But I don't think this is the only thing he is or will be doing.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

In my experience, you move away from the guy who's trying to kill you and his traps.

@Dynamics

-Spectre- An extremely wise position, Spirit.
-That could lead to the deaths of a lot of other people and could already be resulting in those deaths.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Maybe.

@Dynamics

We can keep them down while you do that--but that doesn't necessarily mean this guy can't do anything else.
-Spectre- To be fair, this is as easily a distraction as it is a lure, and who knows what he could be doing behind the scenes?
