In one swift motion, the wizard's shining appendage shot from behind him, enlarged itself, taking hold of the beast's head pushing it back. The swords took advantage of the monster's shift, causing it to lose it's position, and swiftly sliced the monster's mitts into fleshy stumps protruding from its wrists. Meanwhile, the wizard was relieved of the weight of the monster.

Melvus took a step back quickly positioned his staff touching the meaty torso of the beast. From in-between the monster's large shoulder blades shot a spear of pure light which broke into many smaller spear, they hit the wall at the other end of the cavern and disappeared. The monster fell to the cold ground of the cave, dead. The job entailed returning with one of it's fangs, he unsheathed his sword and began slicing.

About thirty minutes after the monster's demise, Melvus emerged from the cave with a hand over his eyes staving off the brightness of day. He'd gone in a few hours earlier. His horse was still in place, he didn't know its name - he'd borrowed it from the village. His was still there, they had offered a horse for use during the job. He mounted after untying the beast and began the descent down the mountain to the village.

It didn't take very long to get back to the village. It was a mountain village after all, though it wasn't as high as the cavern was. He entered and was greeted by stares from the villagers. He hadn't realized, he wasn't soaked but he did have a notable amount of blood on his cloak. He hadn't realized that the swords must've sprayed a good amount of the drying, red, fluid about. No matter, they know what I've done... Too bad though, there wasn't anything there - this was all for naught..."

He presented the fang to the religious leader in the village who compensated him. As he was exiting the church, he didn't like churches too much - he saw them as places people went to before they passed away in some attempt to gain favor with their god so they may go to the afterlife. Anyway, as he was leaving the church, he took note of a poster near the door. The posting spoke of an orphanage which had been stricken by cinder sickness. I'm going to use this as a break from monster slaying... Unable to cure it? Hmm... That's about six leagues from here...

Melvus washed his cloak in a stream outside of town then proceeded to make his way to Anges' Apothecary.

@Afina No problem :D I posted, by the way. I'll edit it when I get home to add more of the what happened afterward, I just wanted to get it out there now.

Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

Deep in the mountains there was a horse. It was black in nature with spurs of white in its fur. Currently the beast was tied to a tree, this tree was rather close to a cavern, which was known to the villagers to be the home of a beast of a rather unknown nature. The villagers knew that it had large fangs, which it had used to rip sheep in two or tear into fences or trees and any manner of other things they had around their villages. This was the job, a job which was taken on by a rather mysterious wizard.

The townspeople called him mysterious, well, any wizard was mysterious to them, but this one seemed different compared to the rest that they had met in the past. He didn't care what they paid him and he didn't seem to care what they had wanted him to do. They knew that a wizard had been slaying monsters in this region, they figured that it was him. The rumors said that he never bargained and haggled with the price for a job and was completely willing to take a pay cut. Sometimes he didn't even go to the people that offered the job, he would just slay it.

Meanwhile in the cavern... There was a cloaked man lying on the rocky ground unconscious. Him and his cloak sprawled about, his staff was a few feet away. It appeared that he'd been knocked out. Or that is what it would appear as if there wasn't a monster, also, unconscious on the other end of the cavern, about thirty feet away. In front of the wizard was a dissipating, glowing, appendage - his source of light.

"Arg... It would appear that we knocked each other out simultaneously." The whipery voice came from the, now conscious, man the man was stirring. He clambered to his feet. "Just in the nick of time, I was almost too slow. My Arm of the Heavens was just swift enough to strike him as he struck me. I presume we were both knocked out." He said all of this aloud for some reason. I shouldn't have spoken aloud His reasoning was quickly realized. The monster began to stir. "Blast, I knew it wouldn't be enough. I'll have to try it... Though, it may not work. I don't know how hard it's skin... armor is." He didn't have time to consider the possibilities, he recovered his staff.

The monster had already regained its footing. It's fast... The monster was about twelve feet tall and could move incredibly fast for it's size, so fast that it is hard to really get a good look at it until it stops completely. Either way, it was coming now, bearing it's fangs and enormous claws. Melvus shot his hand out, the arm had dissipated completely by now, from it erupted an arm of pure light. It seemed to catch the monster off guard, it slowed down slightly. Melvus shot across the cavern as the arm grabbed part of the wall and pulled him along at an incredible speed.

The monster hit the wall... No, it turned, the dust was from it changing direction. The arm had dissipated again, Melvus held his staff up, from it launched a shining spear, it shattered into many tens of smaller spears, the monster brought it's arms up as it charged, the spears didn't seem to have an effect. Melvus brought his staff into both of his hands and from his right hand shot an arm of light, bracing him against the wall, in less than a second he was hit.

When the dust settled the image was of a cloak wearing wizard, holding a staff up with a glowing hand against the wall behind him. In front, no, on top of him was a monster which was much larger than he. His staff held its mouth at bay and there were ethereal swords around him, many of which held the beast's claws in place.

@Afina <- So far, a top-notch GM.

@Melkor Okay - The Staff - How much are magic abilities augmented?

Your magic looks good but it is a bit over powered so a few adjustments would be needed. The way he is set up he is nearly untouchable. Deflection - give it a 40% chance of working so it isn't an every time thing, can work against either physical or magical but that needs to be chosen on the cs before intro post is made. Circle of protection - works against Evil magical attacks, no effect from neutral or good, only self and one other, five minute limit. With the ethereal wings you need to add a skill of flight to compliment it otherwise you are going to be like a bird falling out of a nest. Shadow can be either corporeal or non, not both. rain of light - Has a 25% chance of ignoring armor but will still strike exposed skin if it hits, no fortitude reduction. Heavens Wheel - can be called to defend and attack but will act as a physical type thing where it won't always hit and won't always defend with enough force to stop the attack.

@Afina

Okay, I'll make the changes.

@Melkor Ack, with all the ooc posts, I missed it, just a sec, lol

@Afina

No problem XD

Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

@Melkor Yeah, just describe what you want, it doesn't have to be Dnd and even if it is you can change the name. My main thing is what it can do, not where you got it from.

@Afina

I posted my CS...
