<Kasin>	Maybe it's AD lab?
<GM>	Nope, no evil.
<Kasin>	not even from kasana?
<GM>	You turn back and check her?
<GM>	(She's behind you by several places.)
<Kasin>	(tempted......but not specifically)
<Kasin>	(to S): warning, that gong means the city is under attack. anything ahpening up there wher you are?
<GM>	(S: People are shouting. I'm going outside to look...)
<Kasin>	(S: ok)
<Kasin>	(to S: what are they shouting about?)
<GM>	(S: Ah... it's a dragon. A real big one.)
<Kasin>	(S: what colour? what is it doing?)
<GM>	(S: It's black. It seems to be ... coming in for attack. It's attacking me!)
<Kasin>	(S: do your best, I'm coming!)
<GM>	(S: No... it just destroyed the mansion. It wasn't attacking me at all.)
<Kasin>	(S: you sure?)
<GM>	(S: I'm sure it can see me. It's ignoring me and finishing the job on the mansion.)
<Kasin>	(S: good!)
<GM>	(S: I'll come to you.)
<Kasin>	(S: ok)
<GM>	(S: It's turned. It's coming your way.)
<Kasin>	(S: can you beat it here?)
<GM>	(S: I'm trying ... but...)
<Kasin>	(S: must be fast!)
<GM>	(S: I had to run uphill at the start.)
<Kasin>	(S: how far away are you? I can see it)
<GM>	(S: And shake off the people trying to mount.)
<Kasin>	(S: !)
<GM>	You spot Shotan as well, the dragon will beat him.
<Kasin>	other window?
<GM>	Nope, the others aren't looking for Shotan - they'll be watching the dragon.
<Kasin>	ok
<Kasin>	(to S: watch out for the force sphere)
<Kasin>	(S: can you see it anywhere?)
<GM>	(S: No. I'll look.)
<Kasin>	(S: ok)
<GM>	Nope, they are not doing anything.
<GM>	(S: It's landed in the market. Well, on the market. It's watching me.)
<GM>	(S: Some soldiers are grouping near the market. Looks like they might try to attack.)
<GM>	(S: Looks like AD is with them.)
<Kasin>	(S: oh)
<Kasin>	(S: barrier down I think)
<GM>	(S: They are attacking it ... it's taking to the air again.)
<GM>	(S: There's another dragon. It's attacking the first one.)
<GM>	(S: It just came out of nowhere.)
<GM>	(S: Should I come ... the second dragon is gone. And it's attacking AD.)
<Kasin>	(S: yes!)
<GM>	You fly upwards and see the that the dragon appears to be wounded.
<Kasin>	hey!
*	Kasin  charegs towards the ragon
<GM>	There is no sign of AD.
<Kasin>	uhoh...
<GM>	You see Kasana meteor swarm the dragon. Wilder calls a bolt of lightning from the air at it.
<GM>	Both attacks strike it without noticeable effect.
<Kasin>	doh!
<GM>	The dragon turns and begins to fly away ... very fast.
<Kasin>	hmmm, might need the lance for this
*	Kasin  gives chase, yelling
<GM>	..it's wings are beating far too fast for a normal dragon. About ... twice as fast.
<Kasin>	humph
<GM>	However it _is_ wounded... one wing especially...
*	Kasin  pulls out a bow
<Kasin>	is it within range?
<GM>	Kasana and Wilder swoop to persue but will be rapidly left behind.
<Kasin>	(shotan's move: 210)
<GM>	No, it would be in extreme range but it's higher than you.
<Kasin>	doh
<GM>	(that's 210 compared to a human 24????)
<Kasin>	(yep. running of course. a human's run is 24x3 = 72)
<Kasin>	(oops, 12 x3 = 36)
<Kasin>	(shotan's normal movement rate is 70)
<GM>	Fair enough. You'll be slowly catching up to the dragon.
<GM>	But you'll leave everyone else way behind.
<Kasin>	oh well
<Kasin>	Porbably need the lance here too...

<Kasin>	DM  nods.
<Kasin>	<Kasin> is it looking hurt?
<GM>	OK, you hack at him on fast?
<Kasin>	that was fast, average and slow :)
<GM>	It's invisible. Hard to tell.
<Kasin>	oh well. does it seem any slower?
<GM>	It was already going much slower than it's max speed, so also hard to tell.
<Kasin>	hold off making any more attacks then
<GM>	Your attack on fast.
<Kasin>	Sorry? I did all of the attacks?
<Kasin>	is this a new round?
<GM>	yes.
<GM>	Hence the init
<Kasin>	ok, hold on the attacks, as I said
<Kasin>	didn't see the init. still don't see it actually
<Kasin>	i saw you roll, didn't see the call for it
<Kasin>	(ie: K is going to keep pace with it, and whack it again in a moment when she is more sure of it's status)
<GM>	"Init next round" ... you rolled a 5. I rolled a 7.
<Kasin>	init on d12?
<GM>	A, my init next round didn't come through.
<Kasin>	yes
<Kasin>	5 anyway :)
<Kasin>	hold my actions
<GM>	OK. The sound of it's wings stops.
<GM>	As do it's other sounds.
<Kasin>	grrr, gliding!
<Kasin>	try and follow anyway
<GM>	You try to guess it's direction, looking for the tell-tale shimmers of invisibility.
<Kasin>	yep
<Kasin>	save?
<Kasin>	make by heaps if so
<GM>	You don't not any shimmers except below you, rising from the desert heat.
<Kasin>	try and look around, maybe drop height to see up
<Kasin>	(doesn't do anything special)
<GM>	You do so... and the light is approaching in the distance.
*	Kasin  keeps looking
<GM>	You don't find the dragon... how long will you keep looking?
<Kasin>	until the light arrives
<GM>	You hear a whisper in your ear..." Good luck prophet. Ask the being of light to restore your blades, but have it wait until morning. I will have released their power by then"
*	Kasin  sighs
<Kasin>	oh well
<GM>	The light arrives. A radiant being. Tall, handsome, winged...
<Kasin>	r: I;ll be coming back now
<Kasin>	(local) Greetings!
<GM>	being: (local) Greetings, emissary. Where did the dragon flee to?
<Kasin>	I don't know, it was invisible
<Kasin>	I lost track of it
<GM>	B: I cannot see it, so it is not nearby.
<Kasin>	It was heading towards the ocean
<Kasin>	towards the marids
<GM>	B: To attack them?
*	Kasin  gestures
<Kasin>	To free them
<GM>	B frowns.
<GM>	B: I see. Why would it do that?
<Kasin>	because I passed the trial, it said
<Kasin>	apparently it has some of my powers, and is now doing some of th things I was going to do
<GM>	B: I see. I do not think I would wish to prevent it from doing that task.
<GM>	B: Have you lost the powers it has stolen?
<Kasin>	when it is finished, the heart will appear elsewhere
*	Kasin  gestures at her blades
<Kasin>	Their minds are gone
<Kasin>	it said to ask you to restore them in the morning, when it has released the power
<GM>	B: Ah, an evil thing. Unfortunately I am not at my best now, but I would be glad to do so in the morning as you say.
*	Kasin  nods
*	Kasin  sighs
<Kasin>	well, it would seem best to return to the others
<GM>	B: Shall we return to the city? I think there is much to be done there?
<GM>	B nods gracefully and turns in that direction.
*	Kasin  heads in that direction
