Chapter 2 - Tooth and Claw

Saeldur hear's the shouts of the two men, and he waves his hand, instantly the enchantment that makes Flint and Egbert large falls away. Both men shrink to normal size...

Flint Striker, now back to his normal size...

Flint Striker knows it is now or never; bucking and weaving past goblins and hoping to be a little faster than the ice troll, he hurries to catch up with his siblings.

Egbert looks left and right and knows that the way through the middle is blocked. If you cannot take the straight way, take the way around! He swings his sword harmlessly at the bugbear, not damaging him but making him take a step back, then the warrior of Lugus himself moves away, turns around and starts running! Hopefully, the ice-creatures will withdraw when they see that this level is crumbling.

Flint knows its time to go, and he darts south, weaving through the goblins' attacks. He rolls under one swing, and sprints for the gate, he passes by Vibrika and pulls up just short of the Moon Gate, ready to hold off the enemies.

Egbert is the furthest from the gate, and he can't easily move through the middle so he takes off around the outside of the crumbling chamber. He starts looping around and safely gets to where Flint Striker just was.

Lehros chances it, he fires point blank into the goblin before him. Kylorin, or perhaps Lugus is watching out for the young Half Elf as the goblin counters the awkward shot and missed the already badly hurt Lehros. The bow snaps a shot into the eye socket of the Frostling killing the thing, and then Lehros shouts, "I will scout the way as always!" He darts south just past Saeldur, and looks at Macalanios, "<Anhel> Thank you, Secullus Guide you in the next life..." Lehros then leaps into the magic of the charged Moon Gate and vanishes as if leaping into a pool of water.

One of you has escaped.

Saeldur...

Saeldur hesitates, hoping to help the children of Kylorin just a little bit more before he flees. Trusting that this will be his last challenge for the day, he speaks the words to the fire spell he's kept in reserve all this time, aiming to hit the troll, and hopefully cause him to hesitate in his approach.

Then he moves quickly to the edge of the moon gate. He puts a hand on Macalanios's shoulder and speaks a few words to his cousin. "<Anhel> Our people will remember your sacrifice. The world will remember it." His voice breaks on the last words. The loss of an elf, whatever his age, is difficult. That this is a friend and kinsman makes it doubly hard. "And I will miss your sage advice in the days and years to come."

The goblins have no escape up the stairs with the Troll taking them up. They also aren't bright enough to realize they are doomed, so they continue to throw themselves at the heroes. Moving to attack, one swings at Vibrika and another at Egbert, but both miss their targets. The Bugbear then follows suit, "You not escape! You all die!" He leaps at Egbert, but the man parries the attack with his bastard sword easily turning the Frostlings weapon to the side.

Vibrika turns and begins to move towards the gate. She yells to be heard to lehros, "We should get through the gate and clear the path for the others."

She puts words to movement and takes off towards the gate, then stops as she sees the witch. She notes the woman's clothing and measures her to be about the same size. Having a spare set would be nice, not to mention anything else... Vibrika changes course towards the dead witch.

Once she reaches her, Vibrika begins to drag the body through the moongate with her.

Vibrika turns to run, and the Forstling stabs her in the back with his javelin. The woman of the Seal Tribe shrugs off the wound, another bleeding point on her already badly wounded body. Limping toward the Moon Gate she spots the dead body of Frigiga Iceblinder, and grabs the witch by the collar and pulls her through the Moon Gate with her shouting ahead at Lehros to clear the area. Her and the dead body are dragged out through the Moon Gate's magic and both vanish as water poors through the holes in the wall.

Macalanios looks at his cousin, the magical power coursing through his body is turning it from white to charred black, he is the only thing preventing the gate from overloading at taking this whole place with it. "<Anhel> Take my things cousin, perhaps they can continue to aid you after....ARRRRAGHGH!" He screams as another lightning arc shoots off one of the Menhirs and shatters the eastern walls bringing down a huge portion of the chamber. The rushing water now fills the entire chamber's floor a several inces, and ice is crumbling all around you. "<Anhel> Go! I do not want to.... ARRRRAGH! .. remember me this way!" Stone from the ceiling above collapses into the pooling water with splashes of icy water. One huge chunk lands on a Bugbear killing it as it smashes in its skull!

Flint and Egbert...

Egbert pretends wanting to tumble through the Bugbear like Flint, but then steps back and gets his lanky body to move fast, speeding around the corner and running towards the gate. His face is tense and he does not waste breath by speaking. His long, red hair, tied together by a leather string flows behind him as he speeds through the cave.

Egbert slips around and out of reach of the Frostlings, but not before they take a swing at him. It doesn't matter, the Paladin is well armored and protected by Sylvanhel magic. He escapes the Frostlings and leaps over several chunks of masonry that fall into the water around him. He holds his shield up over his head as pieces of ceiling *clang* and *bang* off it. His hair flows behind him, one of the leather straps becomes untied and like a wild fire his hair streams out as he runs. He leaps behind Vibrika into the portal of the Moon Gate and vanishes with the other two into that magical power.

Flint, waiting for his half brother to close the gap, nods to Saeldur, "Meet you on the other side." He spins and moves into the arcing magical swirl of the Moon Gate a last glance at the ancient Valanhel home, and a somber yet respectful look to Macalanios. He too then passes out of the portal.

Rocks and ice explode and break around the last two Anhel. A sliver of ice shatters and stabs the nearby Frostling in the chest sending it face down into the pooling water. Saeldur will be the last living Anhel to lay his eyes on this once marvelous city of his people. Macalanios begins to scream, the power courseing through his body far too much for him to take. No more words are exchanced, Saeldur snatches up Macalanios' pack, and walks backwards into the Moon Gate gazing at Parth Ernil for as long as he can.

Seconds after the entire chamber explodes as Macalanios body gives out, and the magic consumes the ruins of Parth Ernil, the Frostlings, Giant's Folly, and everything around the lake for a mile in a cataclysmic explosion of raw pure untamed magical energy!
