Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

@Stormflyx I love your writing! From the emphasis on characters actually physically emoting how they feel to the characterisation like "Dorcha Chilli Whisky" and quotes like "She wasn't sure who was the strangest of the whole party. Was it really her? Probably not."

Love it, god bless you and what you do. The care you put in shows

@POOHEAD189 Thanks man, never once have I felt so accomplished to have completed what was expected of me after failing to so many times

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

The opening flurry blinked past, and miraculously everyone was still standing. What had surprised Alice greatly was the creature's ability to summon lightning. She didn't know if it was a magical ability, and she lacked the time and safety to detect magic to tell. Alice also lacked the ability to suppress it if it was magic, her rune-carving taking far too much time and concentration during this encounter.

"I am not sure how you could think that creature could be slain in a single stroke, Ser Knight," She said as an aside to Nicademus. Her words were spoken without doubt, and followed with plan; "Argon, Nicademus, get it's attention. I shall try and shield us from it's lightning."

And with that she started pulling energies to herself. She let off two arcane missiles for good measure, only imbuing with a small amount of focus and energy since she was saving herself for the lightning shield. Both magic missiles arced up in the air over the heads of Nicademus and Argon before sweeping back near to the ground, then sweeping wide into either side of the creature.

And with that she focused all of her efforts on protecting against electrical attack. Focusing magic that much required much incantation and channelling. She near shouted the words, mostly for effect to try and sway the beast's attention, and her hair stood on end. It was by far the least efficient way of using arcane energy, but effort was rewarded and a spell shield that specific provided an almost faultless barrier. Which is exactly why she prayed the beast's projectile abilities were limited to electricity and not just elemental. The latter would be disastrous at this point.

Alice was spirited to see her companions join in with her jaunty song, though she made sure to keep her volume in check when Calanon went off to explore, realising that it was much more likely they would caught unawares without their chief scout. In his absence she made sure to be extra alert, casting her own auguries and inspecting the local flows of energy. All clean and free of tampering, as far as she could tell, though if the sorceress they encountered the other day bore a grudge Alice would have very little way of foretelling her presence. Though Alice knew of very few ways to mask her own casting she didn't doubt a Dorcha would know many techniques no human had even conceived of.

Still, her Vrettonian pride would not allow her to think the likelihood of detection impossible, so she kept at it. She was just gazing out across a clearing when she because aware the party was under attack, more because of the shouts of alarm and the tensing of the local aura than the creature itself.

Calanon returned atop his Stag, which he was lucky to have as Alice could think of no other creature that would be able to outrun the abomination in pursuit. Alice could not recognise it, she had never read it's description in any studies she'd done, but she could imagine well enough her poor wizard frame getting quickly stuck on one of the three spikes or crumpling inwards on that tail and so she quickly skipped behind the nearest fighter, Nicademus. In her alarm she even let out a Vrettonian curse as she scrambled for her weapons.

She didn't exactly have a plan to deal with this, except for something she'd read in a book. When confronted by a wild beast parties are always supposed to stand together in formation, to scare it off, but that plan already seemed in shambles as everyone was already scrambled. She salvaged what she could and stood close to the knight, saying to him "Shout for everyone to stand together, Ser Knight," she started summoning her energies, "And any advice would be well appreciated."

She didn't know if her plan would be followed, and was prepared to jump away or with Nicademus at the slightest hint of the situation changing.
