The man only smiles. "I think you would find my talents beyond your ability to pay. I am very expensive. Go up the stairs and go left. Straight ahead will be the 'throne' room. The guards will let you pass. However the elemental in the room is another matter entirely". The man dissipates into a mist and is gone. |

==Kira== Interesting... We'll see what is and isn't beyond my ability in due time. Kira proceeds up the stairs carefully and quietly. When he approaches the top he slows and scopes out the situation. It would have been nice if he had told me what kind of elemental to expect. None of them are fun to fight, but it still would have been nice. |

At the top of the stairs and the end of the hallway, appear to be a pair of Roman Legionaries. As they see Kira, they step aside and make sure that they are a goodly distance from the doors. One of them looks at Kira, and nods as if to say "Good luck in there". Opening the door reveals a massive room, a good three hundred feet to the other end where a man sits on a throne made of water. The entire floor is covered in three feet of water as well. Standing next to the throne is a gigantic twenty foot tall Ice Elemental. |

==Kira== Kira has no idea why the apparent "guards" appears supportive, but he doesn't question his good fortune. Instead he drains them of all the PPE he can. Mmm, the taste of a coward. They're really rolling out the red carpet for me here... Nothing can ever be simple. On the up side, it is fun to experience a challenge again. Now to figure out how to deal with an ice elemental when my only real weapon is an ice dagger... There has to be a better way to do this than take a beating while attempting to siphon all available PPE. This could call for some fancy footwork. Levetation will come in handy, and if I keep draining him he may not be able to get any spells off, so that means if I'm lucky the only obstacle is the elemental... What am I saying, "if I'm lucky"? Have I been lucky so far? Why should things change now? Before revealing himself Kira does a number of things. First he activates alter aura (2 ISP) to make himself appear as weak as possible. Secondly he examines the room in so much as he is able, activating a slew of sensory psionics to get a full read on the situation, the guards, the room, and its occupants. Detect psionics, sense magic, see aura, (15 ISP total). He will casually ask, "any advice? Critical weaknesses? Traps?" In a half joking manner and bleed memory on both of the guards (12 ISP total). Finally, he will activate Psychic Body Field (super) (30 ISP) before he enters the room (this is not stating that he is entering it right now, it is something he will do once he feels he is as prepared as possible). No Intuitive combat today, I need my other psionics working over time if I want to win this. If there is no other way in, he will enter using TK airwalk to keep well above the water (10 ft/level, so 20 ft). (4 ISP) (63 ISP spent total) This is no time to be stingy. Do or die, give it my all. Note: He also has sixth sense. Is there a step down from the top of the stairs, so the 3 feet of water on the floor is basically a pool? Or is it magically contained? OOC

1: Both guards are Vampires. They have No PPE to drain. 2: Magic is in abundance in the room. The water and the throne are both magical in nature. The guards are wary of all the water in the room, but one of them snikers. "Make it quick, or he will add you to his collection of statues". |

They moved about 30 feet away when Kira got close enough for them to identify him as the person that they need to let by. |

==Kira== Guards don't usually... EVER allow escaped prisoners in to the throne room... "Who ordered you to let me pass and to what purpose?" |

==Kira== Lackeys, useless, I would kill them if it weren't for the fact that I have my hands full already. Kira floats in to the room, nothing to hide behind, no way to sneak, time to make this up as I go. |

The man on the watery throne sneers at Kira, something that hasn't been done since the days of the Pharaoh. "I am not expecting any visitors, so you must be the sacrifice for my rituals. The alter is over there, lay down if you will". |

==Kira== This room is 100 yards across, and I can only drain him from 20 yards away, I need to get closer... "It has always been my desire to be able to serve you in person. I know I am unworthy and you have already been so gracious as to use me is such a matter, but please grant my wish, as undeserving as I am, that I might kneel before your throne and pay tribute to you in word and action before I might pay tribute to you with my life." Kira shuddered inwardly, humbling himself before filth as he did to the Pharaoh, but this man would come to a similar end. Edited by Beowulf, Aug 8 2011, 07:58 AM.

A series of emotions cross over the man's face when Kira speaks. It ends in fury. "You aren't sent here by Niccoli. You are an assassin sent by that freak of a fur ball on the mainland". He says something in a language that Kira doesn't know. The Ice Elemental surges forward. "I will have your energies, and a new statue to add to my collection". |

==Kira== Kira charges the ice elemental without hesitating, hovering at eye level with it and staying well clear of the water. When within range he immediately starts draining it of PPE and if it attacks him he will attempt to jump over , or even off of the creature's huge mass to continue toward the Warlock. Note: Kira is moving approx 13 yards/second while hovering. Note: When he is within range (60 feet/20 yards) he is also planning on throwing his dagger at the warlock. He's hovering at 1/3 running speed, thus he's not going up and down, so I'm not sure if bonuses apply. If they do he will have +8 to strike. Edited by Beowulf, Aug 8 2011, 09:32 PM.

As Kira is leaping over the Major Elemental, he sees a dozen green-orange balls of flame rip through the Elemental, reducing it to a puddle, the water around the Elemental boiling away to steam. The voice of the man who let Kira into the castle sounds from the doorway, the major difference is that it is coming out in stereo. "Enough of that now Warlock. Play fair, the assassin is". Looking back Kira can see the two guards hovering over the water, their eyes vacant and their limbs limp. |

Note: At his current speed it would take Kira about 7 second to get from room end of the room to the other and just slightly less time to get in range for his dagger and PPE draining abilities assuming the target is against the far back wall. Kira has 5 actions/melee so that means approx 2 actions (rounded) worth of approach and 3 actions within range of throwing and draining. ==Kira== When necessary, Initiative: 1d20+2=21 When the man appears two thoughts go through Kira's mind, firstly he sneers, assassin, such a demeaning term, it's been a long time since I've been weak enough to be anything less than a deadly breeze in the night, and secondly, he could have mentioned if he was going to back me up... Kira continues to charge. With the ice elemental out of the way Kira unloads an ice blast from his dagger (assuming the ice elemental was moving significantly faster than Kira, he should still have an action before within range for other actions). Strike:1d20+8=13 Damage:4d6=11 Actions left: 3/5 (one just spent moving/avoiding ice elemental) As soon as he's able to he throws the dagger at the warlock, aiming for his throat, they said to finish this fast, as if there were any other way. I've killed my fair share of magic practitioners, if you can't speak, you can't cast spells!. Strike (called shot, throat):1d20+8=25 Damage:1d6+12=13 Actions left: 1/5 As the dagger is returning to his hand, Kira attempts to tackle and hold the warlock and begin aggressively draining his PPE. Tackle: 1d20+7=15 Damage: 1d4+12=16 Actions left: 0/5 Kira immediately starts sucking 40 PPE per action from the warlock, holding him in a death grip (from behind if possible, and as added insurance against spell casting he'll shove his hand in the man's mouth or throat wound if he had no magical shielding). |

The Warlock swears and quickly casts a spell, it doesn't interrupt the throwing of the knife, but Kira needs to make a save versus magic (14+) as a purple cloud of steam envelopes the room. |

Save vs. magic: 1d20+8=20 Lore magic (79): 1d100=3 Note: Kira is mega damage, so unless this spell is "tweaked" (which it may be, sing as this guy's a boss figure) it would not affect him any way. Kira continues with his plan to tackle the warlock. OOC: Is there a knife wound or does he have some kind of protection? I would imagine 13 damage to the throat would be pretty unkind.

There is a choking sound as the knife hits the man, but is quickly cut off. Then the entire area is covered in a fog so thick that Kira can't see his hand in front of his face. (Yes the spell works on MDC beings in this setting) |

If Kira can: a) reverse the auto-returning function of the knife and follow it to the man b) see his aura c) use "sense magic" to find him then he will continue with the above outlined plan of attack. If not he will do the following simultaneously if possible: - call back the dagger - get clear of the mist (once again, unless it's tweaked then it should only be a 20 ft diameter, less than one melee action worth of movement, though this spell seems quite tweaked seeing as you changed it from a mist to a blinding fog) - attempt to start draining the PPE of the warlock. He will examine the dagger to see if it is bloody, if it is then it is possible that the warlock's spell casting abilities have been impaired significantly. *note* with sense magic active Kira can automatically tell if anyone is casting a spell.

1: The dagger is in fact bloody, it has scored a hit, but it is only the edge that is bloody. 2: The ability Sense Magic functions as it should, the warlock is 'far' (meaning over 6 meters away, but less than 36 meters). Kira will have to locate the warlock more specifically to engage in hand to hand. 3: There is a sudden downpour of rain in the room. |

A tendril of energy is there for Kira to follow, like a trail of breadcrumbs. Just as Kira gets within striking distance the warlock begins a new spell, one that if cast could easily encase Kira in freezing cold. It wouldn't kill him, but he would suffer for a very long time before the ice melted. Kira has initiative at the moment. |

Kira tackles the warlock, there is a band of water around the mans throat keeping the blood from the earlier strike from spilling into the water. As Kira gets his hand around the mans mouth, Kira can feel the man smile, as he suddenly melts into a flowing puddle of water (prepared spell Creature of the Waves, level 8 water spell). The warlock turns the tables and begins to flow up and around Kira's head in order to drown him. |
