Counterspell!

This forum contains those "neverending stories" where one person writes a bit of a story and then another person picks it up where the previous left off. Should make for some interesting reading.

"Magnus understands that the large magician may have to summon and bind women to get them to spend time with him." He casually draws a large conch shell from within the folds of his deep blue robe. "Magnus cannot say he is surprised to learn this."

He holds up the shell, which draws in the music from the sphere. modulating the notes so that they form an eerie sound as they are slowly drained from the sonic sphere. In the end, the sonic sphere is little more than an inert crystal when it reaches the Blue Mage. Magnus steps to the side and allows the sphere to shatter on the ground before him.

Then, Magnus puts the shell to his lips and uses the gathered power to blow a haunting tune. The small Beadazzle (tm) gnomes look up at the sound and begin to sway to it's catchy notes. In but a moment they are all completely mesmerized.

"Magnus wishes to punish the the large magician for his impertinence," he says as much to the gnomes as anyone. "The gnomes will ... do whatever it is that gnomes do to effect that punishment."

As one the gnomes turn towards Maladictian and begin to walk towards him, their Bedazzlers (tm) clicking an ominous tattoo as they approach him.

At the sight of the swarm of approaching gem-implanting gnomes Maladictians only response is the cryptic, "Not again!"

Quickly thinking of gnomes' primary weakness he utters an ancient prayer to Norm, God of Taverns. "Brewski!" and a tidal wave of beer overtakes the small decorators.

When it passes the small humanoids are stumbling and laying on the ground, drenched and drunk beyond belief. The wave continues towards Grubitus, threatening to stain his attractive blue pantaloons.

Kiereat the Mad enters the ring at this exact moment, and, seeing the spell, smiles, casting a small spell, yelling "Bubbbubbbubul" The alcohol disappears, turning into a giant bubble, inside of which should be Maladictian.

(Wow... a meteor appeared and dropped in the space of 1 afternoon...)

Olipad bows towards the mage who caught the meteor aimed at him, then plunges a hand into the ground. As he rips it out, he yells "Incardo gaia nurodus!!", making large spikes of earth erupt beneath Kiereat.
"welcome to the party!"

Kiereat the Mad flicks his wrist, and yells, "Turnastabby", causing the spikes to rip out of the ground and fly towards Olipad.

Olipad laughs at the returned spell. He watches the spike fly towards him, then puts his hand out, forming a claw with his fingers.
"Gaiaus revertum!!" He shouts as he clinches his hand into a fist.
The spike turns into thousands of tiny rocks which fly around him. Olipad decides to wait and watch what the other fighters do... after sending out about half of his rocks to strike Kiereat, Maladictian, and Magnus.
"This is fun!"

"Power Word - Blind!"

Grubitus shouts the rather simple phrasing of his next spell and then the lights of his 'disco ball pants' focuses and flashing infront of the eyes Olipad causing to appear a holographic image of the Demoness of Domestic Martha Stewart bending over, in nothing but a thong! The image smiles at Olipad as the frightening sight whispers the words "Its a good thing."

Olpiad blinks a few times at the image of the scantily clad woman of very questionable appearance in front of him, then shuts his eyes to ward off the effects. After he recovers from the shock, he grins at Grubitus and responds by shouting, "Munora Shivus incanto!"
As he shouts the last word, a very beautiful woman, who appears to be ice and snow given female form, blocks the hideous view and brings a blizzard to attack Grubitus' disco ball pants.
He cracks his neck a couple times... "Don't use that one too often."

Olipad's rocks ping and deflect off the huge bubble the enlarged wizard is in. Maladictian taps the wall of the spherical prison that just protected him. Hey, maybe this bubble isn't that bad - until he runs out of air, but there's another minute or two before that becomes an issue.

Grubitus' summoning amuses him - the result of which he views with only peripheral vision, mind you.

"Think fast", booms Maladictian in a voice muffled by the bubble. He wiggles a finger the size of a tree and the ground beneath Grubitus and the incarnation of evil housekeeping vanishes and becomes a bottomless pit.

Well, perhaps not literally bottomless. Far down there's the distant red gleam of lava.

Grubitus pumps his legs in the air over the pit, and then shouts, "You belong over there..." he reaches out and grabs the pit's edge and slides it, like a throw rug, across the ground right under the snow and ice madien. Grub now stafely standing on the ground watches as the snow madien makes the long fall to the hot lava at the bottom.

Knowing Magnus' super ego matches his super brain he calls forth one of the simplest cantrips he knows and a chalkboard, complete with an insanely hard math mathical equation about the source of arcane power in the universe on it, uncompleted, appears along with a small piece of chalk and a black eraser. "Mathmatica Entanglement!" The trick is the chalk board is on the direct other side of the bottomless lava pit as Magnus and the shortest distance between Ego and Brillance is across the pit.
